Insane that we aren't rioting in the streets over this.
Every world government conspired to kill you and your family.
This is a demonic realm.

21 Savage asked T.I. for $1 million to sign with him. T.I. said no. That no is why 21 now keeps 70% of his music money and owns every song he has ever made.
He still calls T.I. "cheap as hell" for it.
In the video below, 21 tells the story, T.I. explains why he turned the money down, and 21 breaks down the deal he signed instead.
T.I.'s logic: "If I give you a million dollars, I'm gonna take 10 times as much." Take the advance, give up the ownership.
So 21 stayed independent. He watched rappers around him sign for $200,000 because they had no leverage.
He waited until he had a hit album of his own. Then he signed with Epic on a 70/30 split in his favor and kept his masters.
"I make more money off my album sales than I do off touring," he says. For most rappers it's the other way around.
Asked if he'd ever sell his masters and cash out: "I really wouldn't. That's some s*** you pass down for generations."
So if you were a new artist with one hot video and bills due, would you take the $1 million or bet on yourself?

Follow this guy. He’s about to spend an entire year without looking at a screen, while tracking his biomarkers and overall health to see what changes.
It feels like removing a dagger from my leg.
Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep.
Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free.
On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before.
Screens are a legit addiction.
I'm curious to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit).
There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground.
Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.
Day 6/365

I’m utterly blown away by this new audio in the Epstein Files. It shows the secret conversation you fear every high-level gov’t official might have with an outside fixer to hook them up the moment they “leave government to enter the private sector.”
Here, Jeffrey Epstein teaches Ehud Barak — while he is still Minister of Defense in Israel but on his way out — how to make millions of dollars in the private sector by first compiling a list of people who owe him favors from his 40 years in government service.
Epstein then told Ehud Barak to pursue Peter Thiel, whose name at that point Ehud Barak did not even know how to spell, and to try to connect with a company called Palantir, which existence Ehud Barak had never heard of, and whose name Jeffrey Epstein didn’t know how to spell.
Credit @RyanGrim whose clip I first saw to look for this. I used Grok to backtrace the source link from the audio. Ryan assesses this meeting took place in February 2013, which seems to line up with the audio saying Ehud Barak is about 71 at the time of the recording, as Ehud Barak is 83 today.

Speaking of “royalty” in Norway…
This email is between Epstein and the Crown Princess:
“Soon people won’t be able to make new humans any more
But I guess that would be la la land great
We can just design them in a lab.”
