🚨BREAKING: NHS-backed puberty blocker trial PAUSED as regulator raises safety concerns. The Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has requested the King’s College trial team amend study protocol, to better reflect risks to children 🧵

Trial team are asked to increase the minimum age of participants to 14 because of fertility concerns.
MHRA explicitly recognises "sterilising effect of puberty blockers followed by cross sex hormones and that gamete retrieval to preserve fertility is not possible at the stage when puberty blockers are given (Tanner stage 2) as neither sperm nor ova have matured."

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Every week they add a new letter.

LGBTIQA+. Yesterday morning, they added an “I” today.

Why not include more groups that have experienced or are experiencing discrimination by someone?
1)
Add a “J” for Jews, as antisemitism has been growing on the streets and in institutions.

Add a “C” for Catholics, as Catholic churches have been attacked and Catholic values ridiculed.

Add an “M” for all the negativity toward men.
2)
Add an “E” for all the Evangelicals who are ridiculed by the New York–based media.

And add an “H” for all those who have some Spanish ancestry and who seem to have been relegated to a helpless minority by the elites of New York and Los Angeles.

Another week in the books ✅

Here's what you missed from the Stellar ecosystem this week.

This is bigger than I even realized: Pam Bondi worked for Ballard Partners. Do you know who else works for them? Robert Wexler, the former Congressman that hired Imran Awan, who facilitated the massive Congressional IT scandal ~2017: Image
If you need a refresher on that scandal, this is a good overview:


There was a massive coverup and the Daily Caller was forced to take down many of their stories on it, but you'll find that the archives link together. web.archive.org/web/2020121001…Image

1/ A huge cache of messages from the phone of Russian Major General Roman Demurchiev provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Russian army. It reveals a force riven by feuds between generals, plagued by corruption, and full of contempt for superiors and peers. ⬇️ Image
2/ Ukrainian sources have provided Radio Liberty with gigabytes of text and voice messages to and from Demurchiev, most likely as the result of a hack of his mobile phone or instant messenger account. They implicate him directly in numerous war crimes.
3/ The messages, from 2022–2024, show Demurchiev engaging with other generals in extended dialogues, notably with Major General Ivan Popov, who commanded the 58th Combined Arms Army until July 2023. He and the other generals are scathing about the war and their colleagues.

1/ @Carvana 2025 10‑K is a masterclass in how related‑party deals and tax accounting can reshape “profitability” without equivalent cash economics. 🧵 Image
2/ 2025 net income = $1.9B.
But operating cash flow is only $1.0B. The gap is driven by:
A $2.8B tax benefit (incl. $2.2B valuation allowance release).

A matching $2.2B TRA expense owed mostly to insiders.
3/ Carvana now carries $3.1B of gross deferred tax assets (DTAs), $3.1B net after only $3M of valuation allowance. The big pieces:

$1.7B: basis in Carvana Group.

$354M: NOLs.

$276M: COD income.

$566M: DTA from the TRA liability itself.

Drinking DDW has a massive effect on FADS and few realize it. It increase brown fat and shreds visceral fat. More proof it was never about food as the food guru retards say.

Drinking Deuterium-Depleted Water (DDW) is the "Quantum Cheat Code" that bypasses this bottleneck by optimizing the FADS (Fatty Acid Desaturase) enzymes shown in the diagram.

The Heavy Hydrogen Problem: The FADS1 and FADS2 enzymes rely on precise vibrational frequencies to "snip" hydrogen off the fatty acid chain. If your body is loaded with Deuterium, these enzymes "stutter"Image
2. . The DDW Effect: When you drink DDW, you replace heavy 2𝐻 with light 1𝐻. Drop your GLP-1 and buy tons of DDW if your face looks like this below.

This allows FADS2 (at the top and bottom of the diagram) to run at maximum velocity, rapidly converting short-chain fats into the DHA required for our 3-pound brain.Image
3. DDW fixes Ozempic face and Frank's sign in ear lobes. It reverses the Rockeller's dynasty of destroying chromosome two in humans. If want the reversal faster you need to add in whole body UV-NIR light exposure. I have fixed 6 ozempic faces this way in clients. Image

Zero backlinks for first 6 months.

Still ranked #1 for 5–10 competitive keywords.

Built domain authority from 0 to 20–25 without link building.

How? Authority signals beyond links.

Here’s the complete strategy 🧵👇
1/ The Link-Free Authority Paradox

Everyone obsesses over backlinks.

But Google uses 200+ ranking factors.
Links are important, but not the only authority signal.

Other authority signals:

- Brand search volume
- Content depth & expertise
- Author credentials
- User engagement
- Entity recognition
- Citation patterns

We proved you can rank without links.
2/ Signal 1: Brand Search Volume

Google tracks how often people search your brand.

High brand searches signal:

- Market recognition
- Customer trust
- Industry authority
- Real business presence

How we built this:

- Consistent social media presence
- Guest podcasts (no links required)
- Speaking at virtual events
- YouTube channel with expertise
- LinkedIn thought leadership

Result: 50–100 daily brand searches after 4–6 months.

🇺🇦Ukrainian counterattacks on the southern front - the wider perspective

Between the end of January and the beginning of February, Ukrainian forces began a series of counterattacks aimed at the south-eastern corner of the frontline - split between the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro oblasts.
This area recorded the deepest 🇷🇺Russian advances in late 2025, but the low force density generated by the infiltration tactics used seems to be an exploitable weakness.
The Russian 🇷🇺“Vostok” Grouping faces several 🇺🇦Ukrainian assault regiments along with the 🇺🇦82nd and 95th Air Assault brigades, redeployed from Pokrovsk in late January for the occasion.

Given most of this information has been published by various other sources, we set out to provide a longer perspective on the often neglected and forgotten south-eastern corner of the frontline.

[1/9]Image
On October 1st, 2024 the ruins of Vuhledar were fully occupied by 🇷🇺Russian forces.
The famous lynchpin of Ukraine’s southeastern front that had withstood the attacks of hundreds of Russian vehicles in the first two years of the war - charred husks of BMPs, BTRs and T-series tanks still populate the fields south of Vuhledar to this day - had given in.
The Ukrainian unit that led the defence of Vuhledar, the 🇺🇦72nd Mechanized Brigade, was rotated out of the area soon after the city fell for rest and recovery, after two straight years spent on the frontline.

In the same days, some 30 kilometers west, the 🇺🇦58th Motorized Brigade would leave the Velyka Novosilka front for the northern border of Kharkiv oblast.
Another “leading” Ukrainian unit, acting as headquarters for attached units in a ~20km wide sector, had now left the southern edge of Donetsk oblast.

These two rotations would spell the end of frontline stability in southern Donetsk.Image
During the last months of 2024, 🇷🇺Russian forces continued their advance and drove a deep wedge between Vuhledar and Velyka Novosilka.
Units of the 🇷🇺29th Combined Arms Army, the 36th Motor Rifle Brigade in particular, managed to achieve 10-kilometer advances in a single day - relatively impressive figures in the “post-2022” positional conflict.
The 🇷🇺40th Naval Infantry and 5th Tank brigades advanced on the 36th’s left flank.

The 🇺🇦23rd Mechanized Brigade was rushed to the area, attempting to support two battlegroups based on the 48th Assault Battalion and 169th Training Center, but the eastern flank of Velyka Novosilka had essentially collapsed.

Battles would develop similarly north of Vuhledar despite higher force density on the Ukrainian side, culminating in the fall of Kurakhove by the first week of 2025.Image

1/5 Gorsuch's concurrence in today's IEEPA decision goes right into my veins. Starts by torching the proposition that the major questions doctrine a "magical innovation" (per Kagan), reaching back to 18th c English corporate law, American municipal corporations, and agency law.
2/5 He then calls out Kagan/Sotomayor/Jackson for reading statutory text broadly re vaccine mandates, eviction moratoriums & student loan forgiveness. But suddenly with Trump tariffs/IEEPA, they're MUCH stingier. Can they persuasively explain this discrepancy? No, no they cannot. Image
3/5 Responding to Barrett, Gorsuch says that "common sense" can't explain results in prior MQ cases because in each of them the agency had a plausible ordinary-meaning argument. The MQ doctrine works precisely BECAUSE it's a substantive clear-statement rule, and not just vibes.

Justice Kavanaugh did not mince words in his blistering dissent in the Supreme Court’s tariffs ruling. @FDRLST 1/ Image
2/ Kavanaugh disagrees w/the court’s ruling that Trump lacks the power to impose tariffs under IEEPA’s “regulate importation” language. Says all signs (history, precedent, etc.) point towards the opposite conclusion. Image
3/ Kavanaugh skewers the majority for their nonsensical argument that IEEPA empowers POTUS to “completely block some or all imports,” but not to employ “the lesser power of tariffs.” Image
