Ponzi scammer turned "king" Noah Musingku has reportedly died in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.
Just two years ago his cult followers were telling me he would reign for a thousand years after making them all trillionaires.
This guy went from running a massive pyramid fraud in the 1990s to establishing his own self-styled kingdom at the center of a remote, war-ravaged Pacific island.
He set up his own banks and printed his own money, and built a devoted following among Western conspiracy theorists and "sovereign citizens".
In the U.S. alone, millions of dollars were lost in frauds linked to Musingku's currency.
One of the only people to put anyone behind bars for it was Rob Sand (@RobSandIA) — then an Iowa prosecutor who is heavy favorite to be elected as the state's Democratic governor next month.

Xi Jinping has a wife.
Stalin did not when he had his stroke.
That will likely change the plot.
“…then there's reports that Xi Jinping had a stroke in India. I can't wait to see the remake of Death of Stalin when it comes to Xi Jinping having a stroke and nobody having the wit to do anything about it.”

if you liked this overview, pls share it with others who might also be interested in my views — that often are not what the consensus wants to hear. 😁

French-Lebanese businessman files war crimes complaint over Israeli uprooting of 600 olive trees in Lebanon
——
A French businessman born in Lebanon has filed a complaint in Paris against persons unknown, targeting the Israeli military over the uprooting of 600 olive trees belonging to his family in Zawtar al-Sharqiya in southern Lebanon, his lawyers told AFP today.
The 37-year-old man said some of the trees were around 500 years old and had grown on land cultivated by his family for 250 years.
According to the civil complaint, seen by AFP, the trees were uprooted "roots and all," with the filing alleging theft, destruction and damage to property constituting war crimes.
The complaint states that there is "no evidence to suggest that Hezbollah was using the house or the agricultural fields as military equipment." He also suspects the uprooted trees were stolen and taken to Israel.

With ~50% of seaborne sulfur trade disrupted by the Hormuz crisis, Canada is cashing in. Oil-sands byproduct sulfur from Alberta is now a global swing supply — Vancouver exports hitting records, prices more than doubling, and buyers from Morocco to Asia scrambling for Canadian tonnes.

Oleschky und Russlands Zivilisationsbruch🧵
Russland war einmal prägender Teil der europäischen Kultur- Wertegeschichte, zu der die Entwicklung des Völkerrechts gehörte.
Russlands Gesellschaft hat sich von Europas Zivilisation abgewandt.
Welche Konsequenzen hat das für uns?
1/10
Russia is deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in the occupied part of the Kherson region. It is blocking access to food and medicine, obstructing humanitarian access and the evacuation of civilians, while Russian FPV drones hunt people in the streets.
The situation in Oleshky is particularly dire. Of a pre-war population of around 24,000, only about 2,000 people remain, including around 50 children. There is no electricity or gas. Food, medicine, and other essentials have been blocked for the past month. Horrifying reports indicate that people are searching for scraps of food and gathering grass to survive.
Ukraine is seeking an organised evacuation, the @ICRC has confirmed its readiness to participate, and international humanitarian organisations stand ready to deliver life-saving assistance. The only obstacle is Russia.
Russia is deliberately preventing these efforts from reaching people who desperately need them, turning humanitarian access itself into an instrument of pressure.
In New York during UNGA High-Level Week, we will work to mobilise international pressure to secure humanitarian access, a humanitarian corridor, and the safe evacuation of civilians. I will also discuss these efforts with ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric.
The international community must use its collective voice to break Russia’s humanitarian blockade, secure immediate and unhindered access for humanitarian organisations, and enable the safe evacuation of civilians. Moscow must not be allowed to turn occupation and isolation into a means of starving, terrorising, and trapping people beyond the reach of international assistance.
What is happening in Oleshky and other occupied communities of the Kherson region is the result of deliberate Russian actions, and Russia must bear full responsibility for creating this humanitarian catastrophe and for its consequences. We will not allow these crimes to remain hidden behind the frontline and Russia’s refusal to grant access to the occupied territories.

On Friday afternoon, a regulator Donald Trump appointed approved a bank Donald Trump's family owns, to issue a coin that makes Donald Trump money, under a law Donald Trump signed.
First time in American history.
Dropped at 4pm on a Friday, because they were counting on you not looking.
Here's what they buried:
The OCC — run by Trump appointee Jonathan Gould — granted World Liberty Trust Co. a national trust bank charter. World Liberty is 38% owned by "an entity affiliated with Donald J. Trump and certain of his family members."
That's not my framing. That's on their website.
"It's just a trust charter, it can't take deposits." Correct. It doesn't need to. That's not the business.
The business is USD1, their stablecoin.
You hand them a dollar. They park it in Treasuries. They keep the interest. And under the GENIUS Act — signed by Trump in July 2025 — they're legally barred from passing that interest to you.
All house money.
Friday's charter lets them cut out their middleman and run issuance, custody, and reserves in-house. Fatter margins. Federal seal. Institutional clients.
Now ask where the dollars come from.
A state-backed Abu Dhabi fund settled a $2 BILLION investment into Binance using USD1. World Liberty told Congress the deal likely would've used foreign currency if USD1 hadn't existed.
Meaning: it was routed through the President's balance sheet on purpose.
As of February, Binance held 87% of every USD1 in existence.
Binance's founder was pardoned. By Donald Trump.
Line it up:
→ He signed the law that built the market
→ He appointed the regulator
→ The regulator approved his family's bank
→ The bank prints the coin that pays him
→ A foreign government pumped $2B into it
→ It sits on an exchange whose founder he pardoned
→ The bank's board is chaired by the son of his Middle East envoy
He disclosed $57.4 million from World Liberty on one filing.
Elizabeth Warren: the first president in history to approve, operate, and supervise his own bank.
CREW: the most egregious example yet of the President's businesses profiting off his government job.
Democrats introduced the Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act the same day. It bans regulators from chartering banks owned by the president. It will not pass.
Watch who votes against it anyway.
The OCC says career staff handled the review and everyone met their ethical obligations. Fine. Maybe every signature was clean.
That IS the story.
Nobody has to break a rule when you own the people who write them.
They did it on a Friday because Friday is where things go to die quietly.
Don't let it.

All eyes are on the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, but Somali piracy, a long-standing threat to shipping, is making a comeback. Fuel tankers are becoming prime targets, with 18 piracy incidents recorded since April.
