The same Banks who called Bitcoin and crypto a "scam" are now terrified it’ll put them out of business.
Ahead of the May 14th Senate vote, U.S. banking groups are panicking and pushing for last-minute changes to kill stablecoin yields.
They’re flat-out rejecting a Senate compromise that allows for rewards, fearing "activity-based" incentives are just interest in disguise.
They know if you can actually earn on your digital dollars, their low-interest savings accounts are toast.
Banks are losing the grip and Crypto is taking over. Bitcoin is about to disrupt the entire Financial system. #CLARITYActHearingSetforMay14 #CFTC&SECStrengthenOversightCollaborationOnPredictionMarkets
The IRGC Navy announced in its official statement that from now on, any attack on Iranian oil tankers will be responded to with an attack on US military bases.
Iran says Khamenei suffered minor injuries but remains out of public view
For the first time since the war began, Iran has publicly acknowledged and detailed the injuries sustained by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei during the 28 February US-Israeli strikes that killed his father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mazaher Hosseini, the head of protocol in the office of the Supreme Leader, said on Friday that Khamenei suffered injuries to his kneecap and lower back, and was struck by a small piece of shrapnel behind his ear during the attack on the Supreme Leader’s compound in central Tehran, according to The Wall Street Journal and Iran International. “During the attack, Khamenei was not in the place where the attack took place. They hit his home, where his wife was killed. He was on his way, on the stairs, when the missile struck there,” Hosseini told supporters in a video shared by Nour News, a media outlet affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. Hosseini insisted the 56-year-old cleric is now “in complete health” and said his absence from public life is purely a security precaution. “The enemy is spreading all manner of rumours and false claims. They want to see him and find him, but people should be patient and not rush. He will speak to you when the time is right,” A Stark Contrast With International Reports The official Iranian account stands in sharp contrast to reports from Western media and intelligence officials over the past two months. Reuters reported in April, citing three people familiar with Khamenei’s inner circle, that he suffered severe facial disfigurement and serious wounds to one or both legs. The New York Times reported in late April that he needs a prosthetic for one of his legs, which has been operated on three times, and that he sustained severe burns to his face and lips that will eventually require plastic surgery. Earlier in March, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly said Khamenei was likely “disfigured”, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress he had “suffered serious wounds”. Iran has consistently pushed back on such characterisations since the early days of the conflict. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said in March that Khamenei was in “good health”, and Iran’s representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahraini, attributed his absence from public view solely to “security considerations”. Behind the Scenes, a Leader Still Steering Strategy The disclosure came the same day CNN reported, citing multiple US intelligence sources, that Khamenei is believed to be playing a role in shaping Iran’s wartime strategy and its negotiations with Washington aimed at ending the conflict. According to the assessment, Khamenei communicates through trusted couriers and in-person meetings whilst recovering, avoiding electronic communication to protect his location. Yet US officials remain uncertain about the extent of his actual control. Some analysts within the intelligence community believe other members of Iran’s elite, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, may be using Khamenei’s name to advance their own agendas. One source told CNN there is evidence Khamenei is “fairly removed from the decision-making process and only sporadically accessible”. More than two months after the strikes, Khamenei has still not appeared on camera or spoken publicly — a silence that continues to fuel speculation about whether Iran’s account of his condition tells the full story. $BILL $INX $TROLL

Trump Finally Opens the UFO Vault – And It’s About Damn Time For decades the government kept us in the dark about UAPs. Sightings got dismissed as weather balloons or pilot errors, witnesses were ridiculed, and mountains of evidence stayed locked behind classification stamps. The result? A toxic mix of public distrust and wild conspiracy theories that never really went away. People felt ignored, and honestly, they had every right to. That broken system just got its first real crack. Today the Department of War, working with the White House, ODNI, NASA, FBI and the rest of the intelligence community, dropped the first batch of never-before-seen UAP files under the new PURSUE program. Everything — videos, photos, original source documents — is now sitting on WAR.GOV/UFO for anyone to click and read. No clearance, no gatekeepers. President Trump directed this, and for the first time in history an administration is actually delivering on the transparency promise instead of just talking about it. The contrast is impossible to ignore. Past administrations spent years discrediting sightings and burying reports while promising “we’ll look into it.” This one said the same thing and then actually did it. That’s the real narrative shift: from stacked secrecy to stacked openness. The files haven’t even been fully analyzed yet, which makes it even better — we’re getting the raw material so regular people can draw their own conclusions instead of being spoon-fed filtered summaries. I genuinely believe this is a big deal. Not because I expect little green men tomorrow, but because it shows a government finally treating citizens like adults who can handle the truth. Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel and Jared Isaacman all said the same thing in their own words: the speculation has gone on long enough, time to let the public see the data. In an era where trust in institutions is scraping the bottom, this kind of move actually rebuilds some of it. Of course, more releases are coming on a rolling basis, so this is just the beginning. But already it feels different from every half-hearted attempt we’ve seen before. What do you think — will these files finally give us real answers, or are we just opening the door to a whole new set of questions? Drop your honest take below. #UFO #war #TRUMP #USAdds115kJobs #WhiteHouseTargetsJuly4ForClarityActPassage $ONDO $STRK $BSB
