Quick Notes: Jane Street | Hydrofoil ferry...

  • Jane Street's cash machine came to an abrupt halt: Foreign funds and proprietary traders using algorithms made $7 billion in the 12 months to March 2024 alone. That bonanza may be coming to an end.

  • Manipulating Indian derivatives markets: How US-based Jane Street siphoned Rs 36,000 cr from Indian markets.

  • Indian casino is a train-wreck: Indian retail investor losses on derivative trades widened in 2024-25 by 41% to 1.06 trillion rupees. India is the world's largest derivatives market, accounting for nearly 60% of the equity derivatives traded globally in April.

massive PR to save boeing's ass in the AI 171 crash


this is the actual preliminary report. it does not say anything like what the western media is saying, which is all intended to shield Boeing and GE. 

reminds me of pfizer's contract terms for COVID vaccine: they had no indemnity. if anything happened, it's the customer's problem, not pfizer's. like if you died. they offer no warranty. same thing here. no warranty that the darn plane is airworthy. 



so here's the spin doctoring on July 12th. despite the small print (just below), see the headlines (below that). 

lies, damned lies, and propaganda. western media wants to make it look like pilot error, when in fact turning on/off the fuel gauges is pretty damn difficult and cannot be done accidentally. 

clean chit to beleaguered boeing and general electric. 

however, here's the smoking gun: the 2018 advisory on incorrectly designed fuel switches. h/t @shivaroor on x.com



my suspicion: mechanical or software error, or sabotage. below is a deep dive.

There were two good reasons to support Donald Trump for President of the US: one, that he did not go to war in his first term, and two, that he was the very antithesis of the Deep State-controlled former President Biden.

Tucker Carlson & Saagar Enjeti: Dangerous Depths Of Deep State

WTF are US Deep State up to? Absolute insanity and depravity

No wonder they delayed the GE engines and regime-changed Bangla. Their power apparatus are deeply committed to some kind of kill-chain, and we naively got in their way.

Modi should have never gone to Kyiv & Moscow for his visit. What the hell was he thinking - what did he accomplish, other than to put us more firmly in Washington's cross-hairs? And none of our media or babus questioned it, because they're all just a bunch of idiotic Yes-men.
