Gee... it's almost as if they know the whole "targeting children and other civilians" narrative is a load of crap... he's betting his life on it, after all.
WATCH
Palestinian terrorists using CHILDREN to transport RPGs into a civilian home
Using kids as human shields to transfer weapons so the IDF would not strike
Of course, IDF refrained from striking
These sick bastards are who Israel are dealing with.

I think we need to bring this to the schoolyard level. Something like, "Obama [or the next Democrat President] will beat you to this and will get praise, glory, and recognition for being the one who brought Disclosure to the world." To avoid that "disaster" Trump may move things to get things done.
Otherwise it's most likely going to have to be a Disclosure "by the people". Basically, what we are seeing only with concrete evidence of the craft, bodies, and/or live alien interactions ala "Gilbert". Whistleblowers sacrificing their greater interests to bring this out.
We've already had multiple high level witness type disclosures. Would another "witness" type whistleblower or high level official move the ball any? I just don't think so. The next step is going to have to be a "concrete evidence" whistleblower and/or high level official. That's a big ontological leveling up with the accompanying dangers and pushback to the whistleblower. As things stand, it would take balls the size of church bells to do it. If it could be done at all.
Just what would have to happen to be a "concrete evidence" type whistleblower? Would a video from a phone be enough? Can we really expect anyone to smuggle out actual craft or bodies from these places? What is actually possible and just what would be enough "concrete evidence" to satisfy the moderate skeptics?
If I criticize the current "Disclosure," efforts, the most popular reply I receive is:
Trump is doing more about UFOs than any other president!
They're right.
But so the f**k what?
This isn't about Trump, or Biden's insulting, "I would ask [Obama] again" response when asked about UAP. This is about whether or not ALLEGED (I will use that word until we hear from at least ONE of those folks) firsthand whistleblowers/witnesses, who worked hands on, IN these Legacy UAP programs, feel comfortable enough to come forward behind the scenes, and eventually, share what they know with the world.
I seem to remember @SunOfAbramelin telling us that some of them (firsthand whistleblowers) have already come forward to Congress, but I can't find the post, transcript or video clip. Can anybody help with that?
If true, why is Congress sitting on that information and not sharing what they know with the world? And why isn't everything possible being done to make those folks feel comfortable enough to share what they know in the proper setting, for now?
Let's not forget what Brown told us:
"UAP whistleblowers should be offered meaningful protections. These should include immunity from retaliatory prosecution; protection against adverse actions affecting security clearances, employment, or personnel status; and access to independent counsel."

This is the kind of no nonsense, no hype, no "to the moon" reporting we need. Just give us the facts, good or bad.
$XRP RUMOR CHECK
$XRP had a major week, and apparently that means everybody gets to turn every old pilot, interview and scheduled vote into breaking news.
Let’s clean some of this shit up.
The JPMorgan story is making the rounds again.
Yes, JPMorgan was involved in a real transaction that used XRPL. Back in May, Ondo, JPMorgan’s Kinexys, Mastercard and Ripple completed a cross-border redemption involving OUSG, a tokenized U.S. Treasury product. The asset side settled on XRPL in under five seconds. That’s real.
What isn’t real is turning that into “JPMorgan is running on XRPL” or pretending JPMorgan has adopted $XRP as its settlement asset. A successful pilot is impressive enough without making nonsense up around it.
Now the U.S. government and $XRP.
I want to be clear because I’ve already told you where I stand. I do believe $XRP has a legitimate shot at playing a role in the future U.S. digital asset strategy. That’s my belief. It’s not the same thing as telling you the government officially announced it.
JD Vance was asked about a crypto reserve that included $XRP. He talked about economic growth, the national debt and a potential sovereign wealth fund. He didn’t announce that the government is buying $XRP, taking Ripple’s escrow or using $XRP to erase $40T in debt.
If that changes, I’ll tell you.
CLARITY is another one people are getting ahead of. September 15 is important. It isn’t final passage. The scheduled action is a cloture vote on the motion to proceed. It needs 60 votes. That gets the Senate moving forward with the legislation. It doesn’t make the bill law.
I want CLARITY. I’m watching it closely. But I’m not going to tell you it passed before it actually passes.
The ETF numbers are real.
Spot $XRP ETFs pulled in around $39.78M net last week, bringing cumulative net inflows to roughly $1.55B–$1.56B. That’s actual money entering regulated $XRP investment products. No extra story needed.
Same thing with escrow.
The regular monthly release of up to 1B $XRP isn’t Ripple waking up and deciding to dump a billion tokens on everybody. The escrow schedule has existed for years, and historically a large portion gets locked back up. The next scheduled release is September 1. That isn’t breaking news.
On the XRPL side, more than 60% of nodes have upgraded to xrpld 3.3.0, and the leading amendment vote is now being reported around 68%.
Still not active. Still needs to clear the required threshold and activation process.
I’m bullish on $XRP. Everybody already knows that. But being bullish doesn’t require me to pretend a pilot is full adoption, a question in an interview is government policy, or a scheduled Senate vote is a signed law.
There’s enough real shit happening with $XRP without doing any of that.
When you knowingly deny truth too many times something snaps in the psyche and there's a point where you can longer recognize truth even when it is staring you in the face. Psychosis, I believe, is the medical term.
They’re filming themselves doing this. Right. 😂
lazy ass Hasbara to justify slaughtering civilians. So pathetic.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yes, Hamas filmed it. Hamas released this video from October 7th, 2023, on an official Telegram channel. It was republished at the time by sources friendly to Hamas including Iranian state media.

Right, too much is blamed on stupidity and incompetence. It's deeper than that. I'd say that's especially true for antisemitism.

I'd love to be wrong here but, what does this mean for a 100 dollar XRP, a 1k, a 10k? Seems like monopoly money at that point and just a pipe dream.
I believe in XRP, I've been holding and accumulating for about 6 years now, I believe it will go up but, anything over 100 dollars seems ridiculous, and that's being generous assuming a big chunk of SWIFT comes our way.
Why am I wrong?
🚨 Teucrium Ceo: If Ripple snags that banking license, they could be sitting on 40B $XRP on their balance sheet. At $3/XRP? That's a whopping $120B valuation catapulting them into the TOP 20 global banks by cap!
But wait... at $6+? We're talking $240B+ potentially TOP 10 or even #1! Ripple evolving from payments king to a financial powerhouse?

Social Media as well. Joe Rogan can't seem to wrap his head around the idea that Israel will do anything to get their people back, as anyone would.
If some cult came in and murdered and kidnapped his family, would he be "proportional" in his response in getting them back; in wiping out the people who did it?
Why was "Taken" such a popular movie? Because it was every dad's nightmare as well as every dad's dream: take my child, I destroy everything and leave behind me a swath of destruction until my child is recovered. "Proportion" has nothing to do with it. That seems to apply universally... except for Israel. They're supposed to be proportional when it comes to their people being killed and taken (in the absolute worst ways).
Just don't panic if the ETFs don't affect the price as much as we hope, in the short term. Until we get regulations and clarity, we're still in the wild west stage of crypto. I hope the ETFs will moon the price, but if they don't, or the price goes up and crashes back down, understand what you hold, don't panic sell. Either hold or buy the dip. That's the only way to win in the long run. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
TOMORROW...
-Canary Capital Spot XRP ETF go live on New York Stock Exchange. ✅️
-US Government Re-Open. 🇺🇸
-SEC will approve multiple Spot XRP ETFs that already past the decisions deadlines dates due to government shutdown. 📃
YOU READY?

As a Christian who believes the whole Bible, the math is simple. When other people calling themselves Christians have to do wild contortions to get out of what is essentially "2+2=4", that's tells you all that you need to know: something is broken in their psyche.
Benjamin Netanyahu:
"The Bible says those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

When I first got into this space some 5 or so years ago, I followed some of these TA guys. The inevitable happened (they couldn't predict jack ****), and I quickly moved to guys who were talking about the fundamentals, news events, market shifts, utility, adoption, regulations, manipulation, etc..
I imagine the market was organic at some point in time, before they big boys realized it's potential for manipulation, but that time has come and gone. I don't see how anyone can predict short term trends with a manipulated market; I really don't even care about the ETFs coming out; I'm looking for regulations and enforcement: a much more mature market that keeps the manipulation to a minimum. Until then, we're still in the Wild West stage of the market, waiting for our Wyatt Earp to show up and clean up the "town". The price of being early into the territory, I guess. I'm just one of the settlers trying to hold on to their patch of the prairie from the land barons, cattle kings, and robber barons wanting to grab it all up before Johnny Law brings order to the chaos.

We just need to get through the wild west stage of this crypto space. The price of being early, I guess. The ones who went out west and got established early were the ones who became wealthy, they just had to make it through the cattle wars and robber baron time of lawlessness. A lot of parallels here.

Okay, when this bull run doesn't start for a while, will people please stop posting these old school spec hieroglyphics? I love you guys for keeping the hope alive, but man, I hate these charts. Does anyone still think the market is organic and not manipulated after last week? Okay, then how do you chart market manipulation? Are the big boys who are manipulating the market on some kind of schedule they follow year after year? Until we get regulations and enforcement, we're still in the wild west waiting for Wyatt Earp to show up to clean this "town" up.
