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.

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.

When the Boston Globe endorses a common sense Republican for Treasurer,
You know something BIG is brewing in Massachusetts.
Vote @DeatonforSenate 🇺🇸
Shock the World. ⚡️
A historic first for The Boston Globe…
@BostonGlobe has endorsed Republican Elizabeth Dionne @VoteDionneMA over her Democratic incumbent Deb Goldberg.
What does that tell you about the state of Massachusetts?

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…

THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We now see the full extent of preplanning and empire-building that went into the United Nations' global warming campaign.
It was all behind the scenes. Today, the UN has a workforce of roughly 190,000 and an annual budget of $3.45 billion. It has become a vast self-managing, self perpetuating bureaucracy - arguably the largest non-governmental network in the world. The UN had been laying the groundwork for an environmental crisis for decades before it was finally announced in 1988.
The UN took control of the World Meteorological Organization in 1951, transforming it into a specialised UN agency. The WMO operates with an annual budget of approximately $138.7 million and has a staff of 350 to 400.
The WMO bridges the gap between raw meteorological data, international political agendas and global news media - linking thousands of land stations, ocean buoys, aircraft and satellites. While its stated role is to share critical weather and water data, this massive infrastructure has been effectively co-opted into a public relations framework.
Consequently, the world has been bombarded with weather hysteria for almost 40 years. Mainstream news outlets routinely prioritise speculative, worst-case climate models over empirical observations - like 'rain bombs' - maintaining a permanent state of crisis designed to shape public compliance.
The information gathering agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, runs the scientific arm. It operates with a core secretariat of just 15 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $12.5 million. The IPCC was established 38 years ago, ostensibly as a neutral body to gather objective scientific information on climate.
In reality, the IPCC became the driving force behind the greatest environmental and social upheaval in modern history. Highly politicised from its inception, it was founded entirely by UN agencies - the WMO and the UN Environment Programme. This gave the UN absolute control over the global climate agenda and funded what has become the largest propaganda campaign in history.
The UN has also run annual fund raising COP summits around the world for 30 years. They have become junkets for the rich and privileged.
The IPCC did not recruit independent scientific staff; instead, its administrative apparatus actively sponsors and selects studies that supported the carbon dioxide hypothesis. Research raising questions or doubts are minimised or discarded. Critics find their studies starved of funding and publishers, while some even faced threats to their academic tenures.
Local weather outlets and national agencies now operate inside an ecosystem heavily influenced by these overarching, high-alarm targets, broadcasting continuous warnings of 'global boiling', catastrophic sea-level rise, and 'Code Red for Humanity' - with UN leadership acting as the chief amplifier. This environment birthed foundational, highly charged studies designed to lock in future warming projections.
For decades, the UN promoted only extreme scenarios. A prime example is the IPCC's reliance on high-end warming trajectories - such as projections warning of up to a 5.5-degree temperature rise - predictions so extreme that even mainstream scientists have increasingly conceded they are implausible.
Armed with a crisis of its own making, the UN called for the rapid dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - the very energy sources that lifted humanity out of stagnation and powered the Industrial Revolution. Almost every aspect of modern civilisation, from transport networks to industrial manufacturing, relies entirely on these dense, inexpensive and reliable energy sources.
Climate management bears no relation to the UN’s foundational charter of resolving international conflict; it's a textbook case of bureaucratic mission creep.
The sheer complexity of this UN machinery, combined with an aura of technical authority, is precisely what insulates it from public scrutiny.

I would have thought Charlie Hebdo was the turning point. Or the Bataclan. Or the Bastille Day truck ramming in Nice. Or the Carcassonne shootings and kidnappings. Or the Strasbourg Christmas market shootings...Or the Arras murder of a school teacher...Or even the riots of the past few few weeks.
I'm no politician though so I'll have to just memory hole those and the countless smaller terror attacks and daily acts of horror like the suitcase murder of 12 year-old Lola Daviet by an Algerian illegally in the country, that certainly had no effect on the tinderbox state of affairs that ensured a backlash like this would happen.
Push all of that deep down inside and forget it and repeat..."Racist terrorist attack is a turning point for France".

Both of these @PFEW_HQ reps are clearly not going to expand or substantiate their insinuations, which gives us an insight into their characters.
But we should thank them for proving my central point - that officers deserve choice of representative bodies.
One of the people they insinuate is of low character is a subscribing member of @PFEW_HQ currently facing an investigation (third time the same complaint has been raised) and reliant on PFEW for support and potentially funding.
Yet here, a national board member and a Full time local rep have publicly made comment suggesting one of their members is lacking in calibre and therefore implying misconduct should be found.
Where does that leave the member? How can they have confidence that they will receive fair and unbiased support from the organisation they subscribe to, especially when one of those publicly questioning his character sits on the organisations governing body?
Strip away all of the top level legal arguments and just look at this from the very basic position of this member…
It’s not right. It’s not fair. And it has to change, which starts by #BreakingTheMonopoly

Un Français de souche tire au hasard à Trappes : nom, prénom, âge, photo et Clio grise balancés dans l’heure. Un islamiste décapite ou mitraille : « auteur présumé », visage flouté, motivations « inconnues » alors qu'il a braillé « Allahu akbar », nom et origine révélée six jours plus tard, etc.
Le procureur antiterroriste, Laurent Nuñez et le maire arabe de Trappes hurlent déjà à « l’attentat d’extrême-droite islamophobe ». Pourtant, le Facebook du tireur, toujours en ligne, ne contient pas une ligne politique. L’homme est connu pour vols, stupéfiants et alcoolisme, pas pour le moindre activisme identitaire. Tout indique un demeuré qui a pété les plombs.
Cette inversion grotesque n’est pas une erreur : c’est le logiciel habituel de manipulation politico-médiatique. Quand le tueur est de souche, le récit doit absolument coller à la menace fantôme d’extrême-droite. Quand il est islamiste, on cherche le « déséquilibré isolé » jusqu’à l’absurde. L’indécence est totale.
