Permabear, the entire video submitted on Feb 6th by "Finance Reality" (known as the Asian AI guy) entitled "THEY PASSED IT: Digital Currency Act Takes Effect This Weekend. (Cash Restricted)" IMVHO is the bucolic final product of bovine digestion. Google AI says that this video is complete nonsense. For example, the cash transaction reporting threshold remains at $10,000 and is NOT $600. My Feb 3rd social security benefit went straight to Schwab. No digital wallet. Anything posted by "Finance Reality" (Asian AI guy) should be viewed with extreme suspicion.

Each bar in this chart represents 5 minutes.

My inquiry to Google AI: I am seeing from several sources that U.S. ships are approaching an area from which Iran can be attacked. What information do you have in this regard?

Response: As of January 26, 2026, a significant buildup of U.S. naval forces is underway in the Middle East, centered around the movement of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group toward the Gulf region.
Current intelligence and reported military movements include the following:
U.S. Naval Deployments
USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group: After a rapid 10-day redeployment from the South China Sea, the carrier and its strike group—which includes guided-missile destroyers and a cruiser—reached the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility on January 25, 2026.
Persian Gulf Presence: Already operating in the Persian Gulf are the guided-missile destroyers USS Mitscher (DDG 57) and USS McFaul (DDG 74), providing immediate precision-strike capabilities.
Support Fleet: The "armada" described by President Trump includes additional assets such as littoral combat ships in Bahrain and missile-firing submarines operating in the region.
Strategic Context
Official Stance: President Trump has characterized the deployment as a "precautionary move" and a "massive fleet" heading that way "just in case". He explicitly linked the buildup to Iran's crackdown on domestic protesters and its nuclear program.
Striking Distance: While the carrier group arrived in the CENTCOM area on Sunday, some reports from January 24 indicated it had not yet entered the Gulf of Oman, placing it a few days away from being on station within immediate striking distance of Iran.
Iranian Response: Tehran has responded by placing its forces on "finger on the trigger" alert. The Iranian Navy has also reportedly deployed Fateh and Ghadir-class submarines into the Strait of Hormuz to counter the U.S. naval mass.
Supplemental Air Power
In addition to the naval fleet, the U.S. has repositioned F-15E Strike Eagles and aerial refueling tankers to regional bases to enhance combat readiness. The UK has also dispatched Typhoon jets to Qatar at the request of Doha.

Bill Gates Admits a Serious Problem Now Threatens His Global Health Initiatives
This is having a “real impact.”
Jan 22, 2026

Bill Gates told an audience at the World Economic Forum that his global health initiatives have recently run into some major roadblocks.

So much so that it is having a “real impact” and leading to, what Gates argues, the deaths of children.

We’re covering that story and 9 more today. Let’s get to the day’s top headlines.

#10 - Bill Gates looks visibly troubled as he says the money well for his global health initiatives is drying up.

He reports donations are down “over 20%” and some donors cut money in a “very abrupt” way.

“This has real impact,” Gates lamented.

He blames the recent rise in child deaths on these budget cuts.

“From 2000 to 2024, we had record reductions in childhood death much faster than ever in history. In 2025, for the first time, more children died than the year before. 4.8 million versus 4.6 million. And that’s because donors cut money.”

#9 - Bill Gates has an awkward on-stage moment after claiming leaders could get re-elected just for doing a good job with AI.

The host suggested Gates repeat what he said to President Trump, and Gates looked like he wanted to end the conversation.

GATES: “I told the person who runs the NHS… that if they use AI properly, that alone might get them reelected.”

HOST: “ You should tell President Trump that.”

GATES: “Tell him what?”

HOST: “That if they do this right, he’ll get reelected.”

GATES: “Okay, he’s not supposed to run again, but…” [more]

MTG Pushes a “Tax Revolt” in 2026 Over Fraud, Foreign Wars. Have Americans Finally Had Enough?
By Paul Dragu
The New American
January 7, 2026

With only a few days left as a member of Congress, North Georgia’s fiery representative is encouraging Americans not to pay their taxes this year.

“Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt,” Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene said in a social media post on Wednesday. “And rightfully so!”

Greene’s recent ire appears to have been triggered by the hottest domestic news item at the time, the Somali day care scam in Minnesota. A 23-year-old YouTuber named Nick Shirley decided to commit a vigilante act of journalism by visiting day care centers run by Somali immigrants. His poking about revealed that many “day care centers” had no children there. One of those centers even managed to advertise its fraudulent business with incorrect spelling.

Shirley’s reporting has faced scrutiny, some of it legitimate, but the basis of his allegations is very credible. Somali scams are legitimate. The state of Minnesota has documentation proving that many day care centers have been out of compliance for years. Moreover, the Justice Department was investigating the larger Somali day care scam before Shirley’s video went viral.

But Shirley’s expose is only a recent reminder to the American people that they’re being abused and exploited, and — worst of all — with their own money. While they struggle to buy groceries, afford their healthcare, and heat their homes, burdensome taxes empty out their pockets and go into those of fraudsters and war profiteers. Greene echoed this very sentiment in her message, saying, “Americans work their a**es off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the U.S. government has brought/allowed into America!”

Trump Abandoning Supporters

By now, Greene’s fallout with President Donald Trump over her disillusionment with how his administration is spending money has been well documented. So has the president’s very public break with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), whom he had endorsed in the past. But there are signs that the crack of disillusionment is widening. As we recently reported, Gen. Michael Flynn, a one-time national security advisor to the president, recently wrote his former boss a public letter essentially saying it was time to deliver on his campaign promises, before his “legacy in history will be tarnished beyond repair.”

Greene also shared on her social media feed a profanity-laced clip of a rant by influencer Andy Frisella, something we suspect captures the level of frustration among many common Americans. “We are being lied to, and not only are we being lied to — we’re being exploited at the highest degree,” Frisella said. He talked about how hard he works to make a living, only to be “replaced” with his own tax dollars. They (they being the government) are using that money to bring in people that hate us, he points out, and then “they are paying them to be here.” If this isn’t the breaking point, “then our country” is doomed, Frisella angrily concluded the point.

Frisella said that President Trump needs to realize that people are very angry, and “he needs to understand that he is violating the promises that he has made to the American people.” The influencer finished by saying he no longer gives Trump the benefit of the doubt. [more]

@TheSCIF
Former CIA Analyst and Station Chief expose 2020 ELECTION manipulation through SMARTMATIC and DOMINION machines and tie the Venezuelan "Cartel del Sol," the CIA, China, and Serbia, to the global election fraud cartel.

Dominion Voting Systems allegedly deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide, switched 221,000 in Pennsylvania alone, and flipped 435,000 across key states.

Former CIA Analyst Michael Scheuer, PhD—a veteran intelligence expert—confirms electronic vote manipulation favored Joe Biden.

"The Central Intelligence Agency toppled the United States government on November 3, 2020, live on national TV," Scheuer declares, exposing a deep-state coup.

Former CIA Chief of Station Gary Berntsen states that the Venezuelan cartel "Cartel del Sol" allegedly controls Smartmatic & Dominion voting systems, rigged under Hugo Chavez's orders, with Chinese hardware & Serbian servers manipulating U.S. elections—including 2020.

This is the link to global election fraud, to multiple different "manufacturers," for multiple different countries. It's the same software and hardware with a different company logo slapped on the machine itself, all controlled through the same source and election keys.

Over 100+ countries including:
- Canada
- Brazil
- South Korea
- Republic of Congo
- Australia
- Ecuador
- South Africa
- Armenia
- Argentina
- Afghanistan...
- Ethiopia, El Salvador, Yemen, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Egypt, Indonesia, Jamaica, Zambia, Georgia, etc...

They use U.S. taxpayer dollars through USAID, AWEB, trafficking, etc., and funnel it through multiple shady NGOs to fund the fraud and color revolutions and psychological operations through the media and the people on the ground to influence elections through multiple different avenues.

Details of Maduro's capture remain thin

Ione Wells
South America correspondent

The US has long accused Nicolás Maduro of leading an international drug trafficking organisation, something that Maduro denies.

Trump did not give more detail about how Maduro was captured or where he has been taken.

The Venezuelan government have not yet confirmed this.

The US had offered a $50m reward for information leading to the arrest of Maduro.

That, along with the huge military build-up in the region over the last few months, were interpreted in the region as encouragement for someone inside the country to turn against him.

Donald Trump adds on Truth Social that there will be a news conference at 11:00 EST (16:00 BST), at the president's Florida residence Mar-a-Lago.

Kapex, just to add to your excellent summary, from Google Search AI overview -

"statins can lower the amount of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in the body. Statins work by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is necessary for both cholesterol and CoQ10 synthesis.

Effects of Statins on CoQ10

Depletion: Statins consistently reduce the circulating levels of CoQ10 in the blood.

Potential Side Effects: CoQ10 is crucial for cellular energy production, especially in high-metabolism tissues like the heart and muscles. Some researchers and clinicians hypothesize that this depletion contributes to common statin side effects, particularly muscle pain, weakness, and fatigue (myalgia).

Mechanism: The reduction in CoQ10 may impair mitochondrial function in muscle cells, leading to less energy and potential damage from free radicals.

CoQ10 Supplementation
The evidence on whether CoQ10 supplementation effectively alleviates statin-related muscle symptoms is conflicting.
Mixed Study Results: Some studies and clinical anecdotes suggest that CoQ10 supplements may help reduce muscle pain and improve symptoms in some patients. However, other large meta-analyses and studies have found no conclusive evidence of benefit over a placebo.

Official Guidance: Major health organizations like the American Heart Association and the FDA do not routinely recommend CoQ10 supplementation for all statin users due to the lack of robust, consistent evidence.
Clinical Practice: Many doctors still consider a trial of CoQ10 (typically 100-200 mg daily) for patients who experience persistent muscle symptoms to see if it provides relief, as the supplement is generally considered safe with few known risks.

IMVHO - NEVER take a statin. I always tell the doctor to stick the statin where the sun don't shine.

Florida has passed legislation recognizing gold and silver coins as legal tender for certain transactions starting in mid-2026. The move aims to expand financial options and protect purchasing power against inflation by allowing metals to be used based on their intrinsic value.
Florida now joins a growing list of states exploring hard-asset-backed currency alternatives. While the U.S. dollar remains the primary currency, this law provides residents with a strategic store of value and a hedge against economic uncertainty or rising national debt.
Logistical challenges mean widespread daily use is unlikely, but the legal recognition carries significant weight. It reflects a shift toward diversifying financial assets and highlights a renewed interest in gold and silver as long-term stabilizers in the modern economy.

Kapex, Grok AI  says -

The X post from Joshua Hall (@JoshHall2024) is a conspiracy-laden exaggeration that misrepresents real events to push a narrative of imminent election overhauls and fraud probes. While there's a Trump executive order on elections from March 2025, it doesn't match the post's claims about Tulsi Gabbard's DNI role, a new fraud investigation, mandatory paper ballots "on election day only," or talks of suspending the 2026 midterms. Gabbard was nominated for DNI in November 2025 but isn't confirmed yet (as of Dec 15), and no such actions have been announced or taken.
Key Claims vs. Reality

Gabbard opening DNI investigation into electronic voting fraud: False. No reports or announcements of this. Gabbard's nomination is recent, and her focus has been on foreign threats (e.g., retracting a Venezuela intel report in Sept 2025). The post's "evidence" is a recycled clip from a 2025 cabinet meeting where Gabbard discussed "burn bags" of old intel (unrelated to elections).
Switching to paper ballots with voting on election day only: Misleading. Trump's March 25, 2025 EO ("Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections") enforces federal Election Day deadlines for ballots (no counting postmarks after Election Day) and requires citizenship proof for registration. It targets mail-in/absentee rules (e.g., no late-arriving ballots, even postmarked on time in 18 states/DC) and voting machines (bans QR/barcode systems except for accessibility). But it doesn't mandate "paper ballots only" or ban all electronic voting—states still run their systems, and the EO faces lawsuits for overreach (e.g., Brennan Center calls it unconstitutional).
Suspending 2026 midterms if Democrats don't comply: False. No such talk in official statements or reports. The EO directs DOJ to sue non-compliant states but doesn't mention suspensions. Midterms are proceeding as scheduled; this is pure speculation from the post's author (a 2020 election denier).

Context
The post (Dec 15, 2025) is from a pro-Trump account pushing election integrity narratives. It has 46k+ views but relies on hype, not facts—replies are mostly supportive memes. The EO is real and controversial (e.g., Brennan Center lawsuit filed March 26 for disenfranchising voters), but the post inflates it into a "great news" fraud crackdown with no basis.

Found this on Facebook. H/T Students for Liberty

Marx said value comes from labor. Carl Menger said: value comes from us.
In Principles of Economics (1871), he showed that value is subjective. It depends on the preferences of individuals—changing across people, places, and time.
A violin is priceless to a musician, worthless to someone else.
Food is worth more to the starving than to the full.
Labor doesn’t determine value.
Human needs do.
Marx said capitalists exploit workers.
Eugen Böhm-Bawerk introduced a different explanation: time preference.
Workers value present income. Capitalists provide that income now in exchange for uncertain profits later. They take the risk, front the capital, and hope it pays off.
Profit is not exploitation. It’s compensation for time, risk, and planning.
But what if we abolished capitalism? How would the state know what to produce? Ludwig von Mises asked this in 1920—and proved socialism couldn’t answer it.
Without prices, there’s no way to compare costs or plan tradeoffs.
No real prices = no real economy. He didn’t say socialism lacked morality. He said it lacked logic.
F.A. Hayek went further.
He argued that no central planner could match the knowledge spread across society.
Prices aren’t just numbers. They’re signals—reflecting local needs, priorities, and scarcities.
Prices reflect that knowledge. They allow individuals to coordinate without any central planner needing to understand the full picture.
No expert, no algorithm, no five-year plan can replace that.
By the mid-20th century, Marxist economics had collapsed.
Menger refuted the labor theory of value.
Böhm-Bawerk dismantled surplus value.
Mises exposed the limits of planning.
Hayek explained why decentralization matters.
The Austrians didn’t just critique Marx. They offered a more coherent framework—rooted in individual choice, not class struggle.
So why does it matter now? Because Marx’s bad ideas never die. Price controls.
Central planning. The constant vilification of profit.
Every time we forget what crushed Marxism, it crawls back—under new slogans, with old consequences.
Most students never learn this story.
They don’t know how Marx fell.
They don’t know why the Austrians won.
And they don’t realize how many of today’s bad ideas echo the same fallacies—just with friendlier branding.

Russia Calls NATO Comments on Preemptive Strike ‘Extremely Irresponsible’
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused NATO of ‘whipping up’ anti-Russian hysteria of an imminent attack by Moscow. Russia said on Dec. 1 that remarks by NATO’s top military officer that the alliance could consider a “preemptive strike” were “extremely irresponsible.”
Italian Navy Adm. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s military committee, said earlier that day that the organization was considering being “more aggressive” against hybrid warfare from Moscow.
“We are studying everything. ... On cyber, we are kind of reactive. Being more aggressive or being proactive instead of reactive is something that we are thinking about,” Dragone told the Financial Times, adding that a “preemptive strike” could be considered a “defensive action” but acknowledging that it is “further away from [NATO’s] normal way of thinking and behavior.” He said the key test for NATO was deterrence of future aggression.
“How deterrence is achieved—through retaliation, through preemptive strike—this is something we have to analyze deeply because there could be in the future even more pressure on this,” he said.
NATO describes hybrid warfare as a fusion of conventional and unconventional means, including subversion or destabilization of the adversary and attacks conducted in ways that make identifying those responsible difficult. Hybrid warfare often occurs in the gray zone, the threshold below conventional war, which can include cyberattacks, attacks on critical infrastructure, and espionage.
Responding to these comments, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called them “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the alliance’s readiness to continue moving towards escalation.” “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis,” Zakharova said in a statement.
“The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.
“We view Giuseppe Cavo Dragone’s statement about possible preemptive strikes against Russia as an extremely irresponsible step, demonstrating the alliance’s readiness to continue escalating.
“We see it as a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. Those making such statements must be aware of the ensuing risks and potential consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.” Zakharova went on to accuse NATO of “whipping up” anti-Russian hysteria of an imminent attack by Moscow, and she said Dragone’s comments “seriously inflame the already existing confrontation.”
Russian hybrid warfare has increasingly been an issue of concern within both NATO and the European Union.
Incursions by drones and jets have put NATO’s eastern member states on high alert for weeks, following incidents in Poland, Romania, Estonia, and Lithuania.
Activity has also been registered in Western Europe in recent months; the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark have all seen drones or ships of either suspected or confirmed Russian provenance. Concern over this prompted NATO to launch a major air operation on Sept. 12, dubbed “Eastern Sentry,” with the stated aim of defending its eastern flank.
As part of the operation, Danish, French, German, and British jets are now flying sorties across the region.

“It’s time to call it by its name: This is hybrid warfare, and we have to take it very [seriously],” she told lawmakers in Strasbourg, France. {more]
