History will remember two men as the ones who exposed the empire of lies: Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele.
For decades, the same class of experts, NGOs, think tanks and international institutions told us two things were impossible.
That you could kill inflation without destroying a country.
That you could kill violent crime without "addressing root causes" for another 30 years.
Milei took the first one.
Argentina, December 2023: inflation over 200% a year, 25% in a single month. A central bank printing money to fund a state that had become a vote-buying machine. Every economist on TV predicted a social explosion if anyone touched it.
He cut the number of ministries in half. He balanced the budget in his first year. Monthly inflation went from 25% to under 2%. Poverty, which peaked at 52.9% right after the devaluation, fell to 28%, the lowest since 2018. It's not a straight line, poverty ticked back up this year, and he says so himself. But the point is proven: the "impossible" was possible all along.
The lesson is brutal. Endless money printing was never a technocratic necessity. It was a hidden tax on the poor, quietly paying for the people who designed the system and lived off it.
Bukele took the second one.
El Salvador, 2015: 106 homicides per 100,000 people. The most violent country on earth outside a war zone. Gangs ran neighborhoods, taxed every bus driver and every street vendor, and decided who lived and who died.
El Salvador, 2025: 1.3 per 100,000. Lower than the United States.
Every international expert said it couldn't be done. The NGOs called it barbaric. Salvadorans re-elected him with over 80% of the vote, because they're the ones who used to bury their kids.
And now his helicopters are in Haiti, pulling his own soldiers out of gang territory, telling the gangs: we finished with ours, we can finish with you.
So ask yourself the real question. If it was this simple, why didn't anyone do it?
Because an entire ecosystem lived off the problem.
Inflation funded the state that funded the clients that funded the elections. Crime created fear, and fear created demand for programs, consultants, studies, panels, subsidies and "experts" who never had to deliver a result. In Latin America it was the gangs. In the West it's mass immigration with no integration and crime with no consequences. Different symptom, same business model: the problem is never solved because too many people are paid to manage it.
Milei and Bukele didn't just fix two countries. They published the proof. Every politician who still says "it's complicated" now has to explain why a guy with a chainsaw and a guy with a baseball cap did in two years what they couldn't do in forty.
Thank you Javier Milei. Thank you Nayib Bukele.
The world is going to heal with your solutions.
Europe is next. We're waiting.

This is such a rare moment — where we get a glimpse of the ‘deep state’ manipulating President Trump:
“CENTCOM announcing this escalation is the military working directly against what President Trump is attempting to accomplish.
“This is CENTCOM inviting Iran to escalate while the Vice President is attempting to negotiate with the Iranians.
“This is, as CENTCOM calls it, “policy by CONOP,” when the military finds a way to subvert the White House without blatantly disobeying the President, by taking actions that will ensure a war escalates or perpetuates.”
Trump may be a clown but here we see him resisting escalating the Iran war — and we can see here the US military command is trying to white-ant him.
The consistent deep strategy is never-ending war, and chaos to allow dominance.
The tactics — destroying Iran, closing Hormuz, pushing Europe into war with Russia, escalating regional conflict with China, to eventual full-scale decimation of China and a neocon global domination.
And manipulated naive vassal nations like Australia and Ukraine suffer the consequences.
This is CENTCOM inviting Iran to escalate while the Vice President is attempting to negotiate with the Iranians. This is, as CENTCOM calls it, “policy by CONOP,” when the military finds a way to subvert the White House without blatantly disobeying the President, by taking actions that will ensure a war escalates or perpetuates.
This tactic was implemented over & over again in the War on Terror in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. Many Americans died, needlessly.
The Iranians have made it clear that they won’t accept negotiations while under threat of escalation. Iranian leadership has stated there will either be war or there will be peace, but they will not sit idly by and wait for the next attack & they won’t tolerate being slowly strangled by sanctions.
Imposing more sanctions, & publicly broadcasting that we’re imposing more sanctions, is brash provocation.
The midterm results sent a message that the President should find impossible to ignore: the American people do not support this war. We want out. The VP is currently in negotiations to end it, & a new Chief of Staff was chosen under the auspices of helping the President do just that.
CENTCOM announcing this escalation is the military working directly against what President Trump is attempting to accomplish. If the President had any desire to escalate, he’d simply do it. Instead, thankfully it appears he is attempting more diplomacy, and CENTCOM must support that.
It’s become abundantly clear that the President needs to install a new national security team, one that’s not tied to starting the war and that can instead end it. To do that, he needs people who can & will get the national security state under control, not submit to it.

Republicans are terrible at marketing. This devastating result occurred because of the Iran war and a $1 per gallon gas rise? Dems voted and Republicans stayed home. Trump has been obsessed with stopping the terrorist regime of Iran for over 30 years. Stopping Iran was the correct thing to do, but has caused a devastating election result. Voters don’t realize that by punishing Trump, they have severely punished themselves.
AI to be controlled by Democrats. Default reports are already left-biased. Censorship will not allow a report using only first principles and actual data. A left-bias report will be forced. AI will be used for surveillance and control. Central digital ID will be forced.
The private company Spacex and other companies will be seized by government with national security as an excuse.
Media sources will be censored. Including X.
Medicare premiums will be unaffordable since it will be given to everyone
ICE and law enforcement will be defunded. Mass immigration will resume.
Election laws will allow anyone to vote.
Illegal immigrants will become citizens. Financial incentives will secure their votes
Increased spending will require more borrowing and printing of money.
This setback will be mitigated by Trump’s vetoes and executive orders and policies. Clinton and Obama did it with Republican Congress majorities. Congress has not supported Trump, especially the Senate, so not much will change in that regard. They have already been blocking legislation and appointees.
Trump, his cabinet, supporters and family will be investigated. Trump will be impeached, but it will unleash the full fury of Trump. Veto everything, pardons for all law-fare targets, full-scale executive policies.

Elon was correct to challenge restrictions on fossil fuels, but co2 levels should not be one of the factors. 1000 ppm co2 is not undesirable, it is a desirable level used by greenhouses to improve plant growth. the present 430ppm needs to be higher. Happer measures the level in the room at his lectures at over 800ppm due to humans breathing out co2. there may be other reasons to restrict fossil fuel burning, but co2 is not one of them.

It’s a fact that the human body adapts much better to warmth than to cold!
Key physiological advantages in heat
• Efficient whole-body sweating: Humans have a uniquely high density of eccrine sweat glands and can produce large volumes of dilute sweat. Evaporative cooling is the primary (and highly effective) way we dump heat. This pairs with reduced body hair, which allows sweat to evaporate more freely. These traits support endurance activity in hot conditions (e.g., persistence hunting) and are far more developed than in other primates.
• Heat acclimatization works well: Short-term exposure improves sweating onset and efficiency, lowers core temperature, reduces cardiovascular strain, and enhances fluid balance. Populations native to hot regions often show efficient, dilute sweating and body shapes (higher surface-area-to-mass ratios, longer limbs) that favor heat dissipation.
• Thermoneutral comfort: The ambient temperature range requiring the least metabolic effort is relatively warm (around 21 °C / 70 °F or higher in many references). Our systems prioritize cooling when ambient temperatures rise. In dry heat, healthy people can tolerate quite high temperatures as long as water is available for sweating. Humid heat is more challenging because evaporation is impaired, but the underlying mechanisms are still heat-oriented.
Limitations in the cold
Cold responses exist—vasoconstriction (to reduce heat loss from skin and extremities), shivering (muscle heat production), some non-shivering thermogenesis via brown adipose tissue, and higher resting metabolic rates in certain populations—but they are less effective and more costly:
• Without insulation or external heat, heat loss quickly leads to hypothermia. Extremities are especially vulnerable.
• Population adaptations in cold-adapted groups (e.g., Inuit or other Arctic peoples) include stockier builds (Bergmann’s and Allen’s rules: lower surface-area-to-volume for heat retention), enhanced brown fat activity, better peripheral blood flow cycling, and elevated metabolic rates. These help but do not eliminate the need for technology.
• Lifetime acclimatization to cold produces mostly habituation (less shivering or discomfort) with limited true physiological upgrades in insulation or metabolism for most people. Cold adaptation is generally weaker and less universal than heat adaptation.
In short, our biology is that of a tropical ape specialized for dumping heat. Cold survival is largely a cultural achievement layered on top of a heat-adapted body. This is why unprotected humans generally cope better with warm conditions than equivalent cold extremes, and why technology (clothing, heating) has been decisive for expanding into colder latitudes.

Earth is in the Late Cenozoic Ice Age — the global temperature of 15°C is still far colder than the long-term historical baseline of 24°C.
Yet this week the United Nations launches COP31 in Türkiye, a lavish two-week gathering that puts the climate agenda back on the world stage. But this is only temporary. The world no longer cares. This global warming agenda has been running for 40 years and brought little more than fear, of economic collapse and industrial chaos.
However, the physical reality remains: Earth is technically in an ice age, defined by permanent ice at both poles year-round. Humans evolved and still live within the Quaternary Glaciation, which began 2.58 million years ago. And 10% of the world's land area remains covered by glacial ice.
By comparison, the combined footprint of every town and city on Earth accounts for only 1 to 3% of total land area. Glacial ice covers 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles) — roughly a third of its extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago), when ice sheets reached their most recent maximum.
The Antarctic is the largest and thickest ice structure on Earth by far, reaching up to 4.8 kilometres in depth (3 miles) and holding 90% of the world's ice volume. It accounts for around 85% of total global glacial ice and remains the planet's single largest source of fresh water. Spanning roughly 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), Antarctica covers about 9.3% of Earth's total land surface.
Overall, land covers only 29% of Earth's surface, while oceans cover 71% to an average depth of 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles). Forests cover roughly 31% of land and the deserts 33%. Critically, the oceans hold roughly 86% of the active global carbon reservoir and 91% of retained heat energy; by contrast, the atmosphere holds a mere 1 to 2%.
For four decades, public policy has been driven by forecasts of soaring temperatures and runaway crisis. Yet these predictions are still only scenarios. In the real world, outside the newsroom narrative, planetary dynamics continue.
The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has endured for 34 million years, initiating the original glaciation of Antarctica. The primary drivers were tectonic shifts across interconnected continents. These crustal plate movements redirected ocean currents and fundamentally altered global thermal distribution.
Orbital anomalies — the Milankovitch cycles of eccentricity, tilt, and precession — combined with the thermal isolation of Antarctica as Australia and South America drifted northward, locked in these cool planetary conditions.
Modern human civilization and every major agricultural breakthrough developed entirely within the current Holocene interglacial, which began just 11,700 years ago.
The DNA of MMP is that two votes offers strategic choice
Only problem in Aotearoa, voters are so ignorant, most pair them up, hell so dumb they would triple them up if given the ‘Opportunity’ 🤣

Australian foreign policy too is “frozen in the ruins of empire”.
Locked into #UKUSA, #FiveEyes alliance, #NATO partnership, and now #AUKUS, Australia continues to play out its junior colony role of helping the empire assault and pillage each designated enemy.
British foreign policy is frozen in the ruins of empire.
The impact on people who live under dictators propped up by Britain is immense. British voters have almost no say in what’s going on👇

It’s not a new party
It’s revised, TEALed, it’s a camp for disenfranchised, & CCs
And the Aussie experience suggests they will comfortably hurdle 5%

He won big time.
Abdul El-Sayed on Israel:
My approach is simple: Treat the government of Israel the way you would treat any other government that did the same thing.
My family comes from Egypt, and I want to do the same thing with Egypt.
Egypt violates human rights law. Egypt shouldn't be getting $3.3 billion of our tax dollars.
And I would hate if somebody would be like, "Well, because you share the ethnicity of 95% of the people in Egypt, for us to say that the Egyptian government is doing terrible things must be anti-Egyptian."
No, it is just applying our principles evenly everywhere.
