For decades, American foreign policy has followed a troubling pattern. They destabilize a region through military intervention, watch the humanitarian crisis unfold, and then absorb the refugee flows that predictably follow. Iraq. Afghanistan. Libya. Syria. The geography changes but the cycle does not. This is not a partisan observation. It spans administrations, both Republican and Democrat. The neoconservative architects of the Iraq War and the liberal interventionists who cheered the Libyan campaign both contributed to this pattern. The bipartisan foreign policy consensus has consistently failed to account for second and third order consequences, and ordinary Americans on both ends of the political spectrum are left to debate the fallout at home while the architects of these policies face zero accountability. You cannot separate immigration policy from foreign policy. They are two ends of the same thread. If we want to seriously address migration pressures, we have to seriously address what creates them. That means ending the reflexive interventionism that has defined Washington for thirty years.

What would it look like for someone like me to enter a room full of normies and tell them that Jason, not O.J., was responsible for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. What would the response likely be?

Then the problem is the importation, not the principles. A society that can no longer transmit its foundational values is facing a civilizational question, not an ideological one. The answer to that isn’t to abandon consent, accountability, and truth. It’s to start being honest about what’s being lost and who made those decisions.

The few things we actually agree on, and why that’s enough. Strip away the culture war noise, the party labels, the media narratives. What’s left? Almost everyone, across every political tribe, shares a handful of bedrock intuitions… That no person should rule another without consent. Power borrowed from the people must be returned to them, not hoarded, not laundered through bureaucracy. That honest exchange is the foundation of peace. When people trade freely, they build mutual dependence. Wars are almost always fought by those who bear none of the cost. That bad actors must face consequences. Justice isn’t vengeance, it’s the signal that civilization sends to itself. Without it, trust collapses and strongmen fill the vacuum. That truth cannot be owned. The moment information is controlled, so are you. A free mind requires access to reality as it actually is. These aren’t left or right. They’re the architecture beneath every functioning society that ever existed. The establishment’s greatest fear isn’t any particular ideology. It’s a population that remembers these fundamentals and starts organizing around them instead of the divisions they’ve been handed. We don’t need to agree on everything. We never will. But we might not need to. Also, Gm Nostr

Seriously.

Haha

Yup

Iran war = midterms gone. 2028 gone. This is Iraq 2.0 and the GOP knows it. America First is dead. MAGA is dead. I have no doubt this road gets traveled down. Also, does it even matter at this point? Both parties are warmongers beholden to foreign interests. No matter who’s in power, the elites get richer and the body bags come home. We’re the ones paying the price in blood and treasure, while they profit.

🤘 thanks bro!

Talk is cheap. Proof of work isn’t.

Being a good man means having standards for yourself AND knowing what you’ll tolerate. It’s not about being nice to everyone or saying yes all the time. It’s about integrity, which means drawing lines. Those lines piss people off sometimes. They’ll call you selfish, rigid, whatever. But a man without boundaries isn’t good, he’s just easy. And easy gets walked over. Knowing what’s for you and what’s not is half the battle. The other half is actually standing on it when it costs you something. That’s where most guys fold. Don’t be most guys.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In case you were told something different, the news’ job isn’t to cover breaking stories. It’s to cover them up.

Good morning Nostr.

Just watched Valhalla on YouTube claiming Epstein started Bitcoin and is secretly manipulating its price. Completely misinformed about Bitcoin, but clearly chasing crypto bro clicks with the conspiracy angle. https://www.youtube.com/live/P4IHxWB0ewg?si=nipqAdOODlejM7zY

Imagine an entire generation moving through life with their eyes closed, hands outstretched, following the voice that sounded most confident. They built cities in their sleep, raised children in their sleep, voted in their sleep. We then woke up inside the nightmare architecture they constructed without ever seeing it, and when we name what we see, they attack us for refusing to stay asleep.

When you’ve been in Bitcoin long enough…

The moment you stop converting sats to dollars in your head is the moment you actually understand Bitcoin. You’re not “up” or “down,” you simply have more or less Bitcoin. The price is just fiat having its daily identity crisis. Your stack is denominated in the hardest money that’s ever existed. Stack accordingly. Stop checking charts. Start checking your conviction.
