The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's regime, the BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US felon. Insider trading trend: Peace when markets are open. War when markets are closed.
SEC officers and investigators who aren’t actively examining the past year’s suspicious transactions should be seen as party in a conspiracy to cover them up. They are cashing in billions off of the world’s deaths and destruction. It’s a game to them.
And thanks to WH staffers we have 24/7 markets in crude and equities.
Israel got away with targeting #healthcare in #Gaza It’s no surprise it is doing it in #Lebanon too

Snopes: Fake News from Trump??
"Image claiming to show US airman rescued in Iran is fake. Here's the proof
In early April 2026, the U.S. said it conducted a rescue mission to retrieve two members of the Air Force downed in Iran."

I moved my #bluesky account successfully to #leafplaza, a European derivative on #eu servers.
I did the movement not by myself, because my BS-Account was too huge (30 GB+), so the wonderful Leaf Plaza-Support helped me and did the movement overnight manually.
The Leaf Plaza App for #android and #ios is available for free in the app stores. There will be an #ipad version in the future too.
What's missing is a web front-end, but it will happen in the near future ...
Europe’s $24T breakup with Visa & Mastercard has begun. ECB’s Lagarde warns almost all EU card/mobile payments still run on non‑European rails, sending spending data outside the EU. Now EPI + EuroPA are launching Wero, a pan‑EU wallet for 130M users to pay cross‑border without US networks. A huge shift for payment sovereignty—and data privacy.

❝ Benito Mussolini, the deposed Italian Fascist dictator, was summarily executed by an Italian partisan in the village of Giulino di Mezzegra in northern Italy on 28 April 1945, in the final days of World War II in Europe.

the biggest mistake? not going after #USA and #Eu #oligarchy that kept Hitler and Mussolini in power for so long.
#antifa VPOTUS Wallace said as much ―and that’s why he was ousted, so he wouldn’t succeed a dying #FDR.
Disgusting scenes in the European Parliament. Don’t vote for right wing parties; you are next on their list.

#Trump says he'll place 25% #tariff on #autos from #EU, accusing bloc of not complying with #trade deal
Trump said Friday that he will increase #tariffs charged on #cars & #trucks from the EU next week to 25%, a move that could jolt the world #economy at a fragile moment.
Trump said in a social media post that the EU “is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” though he did not flesh out his objections in the post.
