Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

It's utter madness. In today's column I discuss how Labour in the UK, just like Trump in the US, is dismantling the administrative state. And how this makes its other plans, including the good things it's trying to do, impossible to implement. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump comes out in favour of corruption www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... Trump has suspended US law banning the payment of bribes to corrupt government officials. Corrupt practices are good for US business, apparently. Tax havens will be delighted. Everyone else will pay a high price for this.

The emergency services, teachers and railway workers are my priority. Not a handful of multi millionaire landowner farmers threatening our food supply because they don’t want to pay a bit more tax, which is still less tax than most of us. Not making any money? Shouldn’t have voted leave then.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

America isn’t getting rid of TikTok because of national security it’s because Zuckerberg (aka Napoleon Dynamite cosplaying as an extra from 8 Mile) has been lobbying to get rid of the competition. Now he’s blowing on Trumps balls. It’s about ROI. It’s about absolute power and control.
