Yesterday I was talking with an economist. A genuinely sharp guy. We ended up agreeing on a conclusion that isn't comfortable: Europe and the West are down to two scenarios. Scenario one: communism gets defeated within the next 5 years. We finally do what has to be done on immigration and on the economy. It will be hard, really hard. But better a horrible ending than horror without end. Scenario two: communism wins. And right behind it, most likely, Islamic tyranny. Not in 50 years. Soon after. There is no in-between. No "it'll sort itself out," no lukewarm third way where everyone keeps their little comfort zone. What fascinates me is that the vast majority of people don't see this at all. They're living through this period as if it were just another political cycle. But there's good news. The people who've been sounding the alarm for 20 years were right. They were called crazy, doomers, prophets of decline. And every month, reality proves them a little more right. The faster people realize this, the further ahead we get. Waking up is already half the battle.

Every single crime involving an illegal immigrant, rape, murder, stabbings, fraud are entirely avoidable. We don’t need them in this country, we don’t want them in this country. Time to stop the boats and start deporting en masse.
Terrifying footage has been released that captured the moment hundreds of passengers fled in terror as an African stabbed & slashed his way through carriages aboard an LNER train heading to LONDON 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Anthony Williams, stalked his victims through towns & cities, on streets & on trains. Williams attacked 3 people in Peterborough, including a 14-year-old boy then travelled to London & stabbed a man on the Docklands Light Railway before boarding a Doncaster to London LNER service on the evening of November 1 where he then attacked another 10 people. We must stop ALL third world immigration. The only way to save the West & protect the lives of our people is REMIGRATION. We don’t have to live like this.

A Budget that amounts to pissing into a westerly gale - tinkering around the edges while the British economy burns, with a treasury packed full of economic arsonists. It is an insult to every taxpayer, every struggling business and every family being bled dry by this rotten economic system. Nothing will change - we continue our uninterrupted plunge into the abyss. The country is drowning in debt. I don’t know how else to say this… We are BANKRUPT. We cannot afford any of this. Nothing. A crushing tax burden remains, small businesses are strangled and as employers we’re punished for creating jobs. For what? To fund millions of scroungers who can’t be arsed to work like the rest of us? Foreigners who turn up and expect housing, benefits, healthcare? When our tax goes up, THAT is what we are funding. Debt is now THREE TRILLION. We can thank lockdown for a large part of that. But please think about it. Three trillion. The scale is just unimaginable. Yet we get another Chancellor fiddling with the numbers while the country goes up in flames. Billions and billions and billions get added every month. It is GROWING. I don’t know how else to say this. The people governing us seem absolutely incapable of understanding one basic principle. Wealth is created by businesses and workers. NOT by politicians spending somebody else's money to win votes. NOT by the state. NOT by the public sector. I detest it. The British people, working mums and dads, are expected to work longer and harder to fund this corrupt charade - all while giant multinationals shift vast profits out of our country on the back of their work and bloated corporates extract outrageous contract profits from the taxpayer thanks to criminal public sector mismanagement. I challenge Healey or Burnham. Go and start a business. A cafe, a contractor, a small shop. Try being a sole contractor on the tools. Experience these taxes, the regulation, the stress. Have their families rely on sporadic invoices. Watch their earnings get siphoned off by a corrupt state. Let’s see how they get on. The system does not need reforming, or conserving - it needs smashing up. We need to rip apart, limb from limb, the failed assumptions that have governed British economic policy for decades. Cut the waste. Shrink the state. Slash the tax burden. Back small British businesses. Reward work. Restore the incentive to invest, build, employ and succeed. Get millions of healthy Brits OFF benefits. Give people a reason to work. BE UNPOPULAR. If healthy scroungers hate me for taking their benefits off them, good. Get used to it. It’s all that, on a scale never seen before, or the country will collapse further into a third world hellhole - only this time we’ll get the hyperinflation and total economic catastrophe in addition to the migrants. I refuse to leave a broken, bankrupt nation to my children and grandchildren. Restore Britain is offering a route out. It will be painful, more than anyone realises. But it is the only way.

We’re kicking off 10 years of @RippleSwell with a bang! 1/ Goes without saying, but it was an honor to open up our conference with @SecScottBessent. His leadership, alongside the current administration, has been instrumental in ensuring that responsible crypto can thrive in the US. I’m extremely grateful he spent time with us today. 2/ BIG partner news 🚨 we're bringing Ripple’s infrastructure to @RobinhoodApp (supporting both customer-facing services and core financial operations), from $RLUSD settlement on the @XRP Ledger to prime brokerage and treasury operations & expanding our relationship with @BNYglobal across custody and tokenized trade finance with RLUSD, XRP and the XRP Ledger. 3/ We are bringing digital assets to corporates 👀 → Ripple Treasury introduced 24/7 Returns designed to help corporates put idle cash to work outside banking hours utilizing stablecoins (this is one step further to realizing the vision of our Treasury management business). 4/ Last but certainly not least, @USOCC granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank! And it’s only day 0 (technically the Swell main event starts tomorrow!). More to come this week…

This Is Going To Be Historic: The Treasury Secretary does not attend a crypto conference as a courtesy. He attends when the architecture needs a public face to certify that the transition is government-sanctioned. Bessent is the institutional seal on the Ripple Trust Bank charter. His presence confirms the OCC approval was not a bureaucratic drift it was a deliberate positioning. WHY TODAY IS THE REAL START Not January. Not December. Today. The Swell conference is the soft launch of the new financial layer. The announcements that drop this week are not policy proposals. They are operational status updates disguised as thought leadership. What to watch for? Bessent's framing of "digital dollar infrastructure" He will not mention Iraq or the RV directly. He will describe the legal and technical readiness for sovereign stablecoin conversions. The language will be generic. The audience will know exactly who he is talking about. Also look for Ripple's announcement of the first institutional RLUSD deployment Not a trial. Not a pilot. A live deployment with a sovereign or quasi-sovereign partner. The natural question is: who is the first client? If it is a Gulf state or an oil-based economy, you have your answer. DTCC mention during any panel. The tokenization vault will be referenced indirectly. "Settlement finality." "Asset-backed digital instruments." "Programmable reserves." These are the code words. Bessent has been operating as the architect of what he publicly called the "grand economic reorder" a phrase that drew eye-rolls from mainstream financial analysts who treated it as rhetorical flourish. It wasn't. The GENIUS Act (Government Electronic Natively Issued & Universal Stablecoin Act) created the legal scaffold. Ripple's OCC approval yesterday created the institutional vehicle. Swell is the platform where the two connect publicly for the first time, with the man who designed the framework standing next to the company that built the rails. Bessent wouldn't share a stage with Brad Garlinghouse unless Treasury had already signed off on the integration architecture. What he's doing today is not announcing policy he's confirming that the infrastructure phase is complete and the transition phase begins. His speech won't say "dinar revaluation." It will say things about "modernizing cross-border settlement," "bringing dollar infrastructure into the digital age," "ensuring American leadership in digital finance." Those are the approved talking points. Click Patreon Link In Bio/Profile (For Deeper Insight)

Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank. This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises. We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight. The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

No está pasando nada en XRP. Nada de nada. Lo puedes comprobar tú mismo: abre el gráfico, mira el precio, ciérralo. Nada. Ahora bien, si en vez de mirar el precio miras los anuncios de las últimas 8 semanas, la cosa cambia un poquito. Os hago la lista completa, y agarraos: 1. El BIS usando la XRP Ledger en un piloto de datos oficiales a prueba de manipulación 2. El supply de RLUSD en la XRPL disparándose un 642% interanual 3. Mastercard montando su red de pagos con IA con Ripple y Coinbase dentro 4. Evernorth aprobada por la SEC y captando más de 1.000 millones de dólares 5. El BCE seleccionando en su proyecto Pontes a Axiology, plataforma construida sobre la XRPL 6. CSD BR, el depositario central de Brasil, usando la XRPL para su infraestructura de mercado 7. Ripple valorada en 40.000 millones con Fortress y Citadel Securities entrando con 500 millones 8. La aprobación de la OCC para el banco fiduciario nacional de Ripple, en trámite 9. BNY Mellon custodiando las reservas de RLUSD 10. Las amendments Batch y Permission Delegation activándose en la XRPL 11. Un bug de hace una década encontrado por IA, parcheado en 3 días con cero robado y el suministro auditable en tiempo real 12. Evernorth debutando en el Nasdaq como XRPN y tocando la campana de cierre 13. Evernorth eligiendo a Ripple, Kraken, Coinbase y BitGo para desplegar sus 473 millones de XRP 14. Standard Chartered custodiando RLUSD 15. Lynq liquidando stablecoins institucionales en minutos 16. Privy y Stripe llevando carteras XRPL y pagos de agentes de IA al ledger 17. DriveWealth llevando RLUSD y la infraestructura de Ripple a más de 100 brokers 18. Meritz Securities, cuarto socio coreano, con custodia y tokenización 19. Cross River, el banco detrás de X Money, metiendo RLUSD en su núcleo bancario 20. Jeonbuk Bank modernizando pagos transfronterizos en Corea 21. Ripple Prime lanzando Delta One, derivados de renta variable para institucionales 22. Brevan Howard, uno de los mayores hedge funds del mundo, profundizando su relación con Ripple 23. Paxos añadiendo XRP a su brokerage 24. La DTCC avanzando su servicio de tokenización 25. JPMorgan y Mastercard liquidando un Tesoro tokenizado en la XRPL en menos de 5 segundos 26. El folleto SEC de Evernorth: métrica oficial XRP por acción, el trust familiar de Chris Larsen con 50 millones de XRP dentro, y Kyobo financiando desde Corea 27. Arf moviendo su red de 10.000 millones anuales de liquidación a RLUSD sobre la XRPL 28. Franklin Templeton metiendo 150 millones más de su fondo monetario en la XRPL 29. Los bancos centrales de Singapur, Malasia y Tailandia sumando a Ripple a su iniciativa de dinero digital junto a Visa, Mastercard y el Banco Mundial 30. Aviva tokenizando en la XRPL su fondo de 22.000 millones de libras, el más grande que tiene 31. Evernorth firmando con Cantor Fitzgerald, la firma de la familia Lutnick, una línea de 80 millones para comprar más XRP 32. Y Ripple convirtiendo la tesorería de empresas como American Airlines o Subway en plataformas con rendimiento 24/7 en RLUSD Los tres últimos, por cierto, de AYER. Son 32 anuncios en 8 semanas. TREINTA Y DOS. Los tengo contados uno a uno con sus enlaces oficiales. Pero nada, tienes razón: el precio está lateral, así que no pasa nada. El precio mide el presente. Los anuncios construyen el futuro. Y cuando el precio por fin se entere de todo esto, los que solo miraban el gráfico preguntarán cómo nadie les avisó. Avisado quedas. Hoy empieza Swell. Lo mismo tampoco pasa nada.

When the markets react to a rigged election. 🤣
BREAKING: 🇧🇷 Brazil’s stock market halts trading after triggering a circuit breaker. Almost R$1 TRILLION ($200 BILLION) has been wiped out from Brazilian stocks following Lula’s unexpected election victory.

Anybody else noticed that no matter where in the world when the left wing globalist elite are going to lose an election there’s always fuckwittery afoot & the results change at the last minute against all polls or previous votes? 🤔
Where have I seen this before? 🤔

Big news as Aviva Investors announces the launch of a tokenized share class of the Aviva Investors Sterling (GBP) Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. The Sterling (GBP) Liquidity Fund is Aviva Investors’ largest fund at around £22 billion in assets under management, and this move marks an expansion of Aviva Investors’ tokenised fund offering, following the launch of its tokenized USD Liquidity Fund in July. Investors receive the same protections as those in the conventional fund, which was initially launched in 2002. Markets are moving to 24/7 access and real-time settlement. This is what that looks like in practice. For professional investors only. Capital at risk. ripple.com/ripple-press/aviv…

Vous vous rendez compte de la dinguerie ? Quelques heures après une fusillade, alors que le suspect n’avait même pas encore été entendu, Macron nous parlait déjà d’un « attentat islamophobe », même du premier de l’histoire ! Ce soir, on apprend que le type militait dans une organisation antifa, aux côtés de hauts responsables de la gauche. Dans un pays normal, Macron, les médias rouges et tous ceux qui ont participé à cette manipulation devraient répondre de leurs actes devant la justice. C’est un niveau de propagande qui n’a rien à envier aux régimes communistes du XXe siècle.
