29th April 2026 - 40 years since Chernobyl and a reminder that "every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid." Some thoughts... gravitas.sparkcrowdfunding.c…
18th Oct 2026 - 🚨🚨Mar-a-Lago ketchup on the wall alert: St Petersburg's oil terminal, data centre, distribution warehouses and city centre bridge all hit by Ukrainian drones. The dear leaders united by kleptocracy and delusion in the Oval Office and the Kremlin won't be happy.
17th Oct 2026 - what a week! Quite a lot can happen in half a Scaramucci. Less clear is why Anthropic valued at $2 trillion needs to borrow at rates above 10% from Blackstone. One of those numbers is wrong… #FortyFoot
Aiding and abetting the enemy..... there used to be public executions (not livestreamed) for that kind of activity 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Reuters: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. The officials said leaders at the Defense Department received a message that the SpaceX Starshield service for the Ukrainian military needed to be slowed.
16th Oct 2026 - A bit of reflection on an anxious week and future, but with an optimistic eastward shifting of focus. Blackrock, Marubeni, Deepseek, Coreweave, Hut8, Larry Fink and Warren Buffett are the inspiration. sparkprivate.com/Insights/ti…
12th October 2026 - Happy Monday, the Trump diesel deal with Putin receiving the appropriate blowback and ridicule it deserves…. #LosGigantes
11th Oct 2026 - a plot to assassinate a NATO nation’s prime minister (Poland) while Agent Orange cuts a diesel deal with his Kremlin handler. When will the GOP adults in Washington show some spine and decency….? #Gurteen
Hypothetical versus factual siding with Putin, MBS, Orban etc….
Few decisions have damaged our country more than when the American media went all-in for the Democratic Party regardless of policy, loyalty to country, or consequences. Today's media & Democratic Party would have sided with Tojo and Hitler. #maga #based #GOP #Democrat #walkawayThe suppression polls pushing DNC pablum have been activated once again, and so we must endure the incessant charade of pundits treating them like serious analysis for the next few weeks. Fake Democrat-paid account. #maga #based #GOP #Democrat #walkaway
9th Oct 2026 - Pentagon plans for a live-streamed execution of Fort Hood murderer (in wheelchair) doesn’t feel like the “flex” of an advanced society on the up …. #FortyFoot
7th Oct 2026 - 3 years since horrific Hamas mass terror attack on Israel leaving 1,200 dead in a few morning hours. Still leaves a dark cloud and reminder of humanity’s ability to be so evil to one another .. #October7 #FortyFoot
6th October 2026 - Budget day…. Damp start so far, dare we dream of better news later…or damp squib ? #Ballycotton
4th Oct 2026 - polling for GOP and Trump ahead of mid-term November elections not promising, possibly seismic results to come in deep red states like Texas and Iowa. What are the chances Agent Orange doesn’t finish his term….? #FortyFoot
3rd Oct 2026 - Back in the Vitamin Sea groove - what's not to like! Big sporting weekend ahead .....🏉🏉⚽️⚽️🎾🎾 #FortyFoot
1st October 2026 - This might be the most important thing I write this year. K-Club Ryder Cup 20 yrs ago and Larionovo are the triggers but Oracle, Blue Owl, Project Jupiter, Anthropic IPO risk lists causing portfolio angst. sparkprivate.com/Insights/in…
Incredible .... great article. Such a complex, vicious world.
“The Situation Room connected the call. Biden jumped in. “Bibi, man, what the fuck are you doing?” He gripped the phone tight. “You think I’m Santa Claus? No Santa in Israel, pal.” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
26th Sept 2026 - a few twists left in this Ireland v Israel fixture, none of them on-field. Players might not play after all.....maybe Netanyahu's speech at the UN didn't woo the undecided? #FortyFoot
Oh!
This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.
What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. nytimes.com/2026/09/24/busin…
25th Sept 2026 - financial markets flat for the week, but one wonders is $ORCL 'force majeure' delivery wobble in New Mexico the beginning of a wave of 2027-28 payment 're-sets'. Oh, and today is the 18th anniversary of the biggest ever US banking collapse... Washington Mutual
