A letter from Shannon Stansberry (Ad)

Porter Stansberry nearly canceled the entire project. When he first saw the claimed returns - only one down year in nearly two decades and total gains of almost 2,000% - his immediate reaction was disbelief. It took a trusted friend's personal vouching for Emmet Savage and a face-to-face trip to Ireland to change his mind. The full documentary, Investigating Project Prophet, is now live.tc pixel

Trump Takes Emergency Action - Plus Elon Musk's New Venture (Ad)

Elon Musk has quietly launched a new venture - one that has nothing to do with rockets, EVs, or Neuralink. Trump has issued emergency support to accelerate the rollout, and it's already live in multiple states. The Financial Times reports Sam Altman is personally calling people to build this for OpenAI. A few little-known companies control the entire supply chain - meaning anyone who wants access must go through them. Their stocks are available to buy right now.tc pixel
