Advanced communications require congruence.
Obviously, the obviously obvious stories are as boring as heaven. They do not excite the spirit but comfort the ego.
With no purpose for any future engagement, the obviously obvious stories have no magical revelation, thus do not entertain the contemplative composite minds of the new world. Therefore, the obviously obvious stories are essentially blah.
Factual obviously obvious stories contribute to knowledge and wisdom which are obvious to the wise; but obviously, not to the oblivious.
Obviously, the oblivious mindset developed under the influence of art, history, and culture into which I was born and raised in for the first twenty-four years of my visit to the planet did not suit me. I honor my acceptance and admission to this magnificent system which provided me with the freedom to practice my previously oblivious mindset while preparing myself for an advance in the entertainment business at Le cirque de la vie; a multicultural and multidimensional collaboration where I play multiple characters under the spotlight in a republic I call home of my choice, on my own free will, and without any reservations!
Obviously, a ridiculous show under diminishing light, played by the politically correct politicians and clever clerics is the worst circus around. Clowns are abusing the freedom of speech infiltrating the misery of the devastatingly outdated, ultimately worthless, essentially impractical, terminally ill culture, trying to normalize the conditions to suit the oblivious; arrogantly entertaining the shallow minded ignorant. The politically correct and religiously right have always been repeating the same mistakes. Feeling good about being on a pulpit in useless ritualistic productions has been the pattern of progress in uncivilized human societies until such time that the magical performance of the exceptional D.J. Trumped America and the world at large.
I was playing with Lady Liberty observing the unimaginable victory of the one and only exceptional winner of the ultimate prize, achieved in his out of this world politically incorrect and religiously agnostic rhetoric proving to us by example that the American dream is well and alive.

Trump Family Crypto Firm Sold Major Stake to UAE Investment Firm
A cryptocurrency company linked to members of the Trump family has sold a significant ownership stake to a major investment firm based in the United Arab Emirates, according to sources familiar with the transaction. The deal highlights the growing role of Middle Eastern capital in the global digital asset market and raises new questions about the intersection of politics, private business interests, and emerging financial technologies. The firm, which operates in blockchain services and digital asset management, has been expanding its footprint in international markets over the past two years. While financial terms of the transaction were not publicly disclosed, the UAE investment firm is believed to have acquired a substantial minority stake, giving it influence over strategic decisions and future expansion plans. Representatives for the Trump family business interests declined to comment in detail on the transaction but said the company remains independently managed and focused on innovation in the digital economy. A Strategic Investment Move The sale comes at a time when cryptocurrency companies are seeking stable sources of funding following volatility in global markets. The UAE has emerged as a hub for crypto-related investment due to its regulatory framework, which is viewed as more welcoming to digital assets than those of many Western nations. Industry analysts say the partnership reflects a broader shift in how crypto firms are financed and governed. “This is part of a trend where capital from the Gulf region is becoming increasingly important in shaping the future of blockchain enterprises,” said a digital finance researcher. “It also reflects how politically connected business ventures are seeking international partners to expand their legitimacy and reach.” The UAE investment firm involved in the deal reportedly manages billions of dollars in assets across technology, infrastructure, and energy sectors. Its entry into the crypto market aligns with the country’s push to diversify its economy away from oil dependence and toward advanced technology and financial services. Political and Ethical Scrutiny Because the company is associated with members of the Trump family, the transaction has drawn scrutiny from ethics experts and political watchdog groups. Former President Donald Trump has been increasingly vocal in recent years about cryptocurrency and digital finance, shifting from earlier skepticism to a more supportive stance. Critics argue that foreign investment in a firm tied to a prominent political family raises concerns about influence and transparency, especially if Trump returns to public office or maintains strong political power. “Any time a business connected to a political dynasty receives substantial foreign investment, it creates questions about conflicts of interest,” said a government ethics analyst. “Even if everything is legal, perception matters greatly in democratic systems.” Supporters counter that the firm operates as a private commercial entity and that international investment is common in the technology sector. “There is no evidence that this transaction violates any law,” said a spokesperson familiar with the deal. “This is a standard business arrangement driven by market opportunity, not politics.” The Firm’s Role in Crypto Markets The Trump-linked crypto firm has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based services. Its offerings reportedly include digital asset custody, tokenized investments, and advisory services for institutional clients seeking exposure to cryptocurrency markets. Over the past year, the company has launched several pilot projects focused on tokenizing real-world assets, such as real estate and commodities, allowing investors to trade fractional ownership on blockchain platforms. Executives involved in the venture have described their mission as making crypto more accessible and regulated, appealing to mainstream investors wary of risk. “Digital assets are moving out of the shadows and into the financial system,” one executive said in a recent interview. “We want to be part of that transition.” The UAE investment firm is expected to help accelerate this vision by providing capital and connections to financial institutions in the Middle East and Asia. Regulatory Environment and Global Impact The deal comes amid shifting regulatory landscapes for cryptocurrencies worldwide. In the United States, regulators continue to debate how digital assets should be classified and supervised. Meanwhile, the UAE has developed licensing regimes for crypto exchanges and blockchain firms that attract international businesses. Experts say such cross-border deals could complicate regulatory oversight. “When a politically connected American firm partners with a foreign investment group, it creates layers of jurisdiction and accountability,” said a professor of international finance. “That can be perfectly legal, but it also demands transparency.” The partnership may also signal growing competition between financial centers such as New York, London, Dubai, and Singapore for leadership in the digital economy. Public Reaction and Market Response News of the transaction generated mixed reactions online. Supporters praised the deal as evidence of strong investor confidence in U.S.-based crypto innovation. Critics questioned whether political branding was being used to attract foreign capital. Some market analysts noted that the firm’s valuation reportedly increased following the announcement, suggesting investors see strategic value in the UAE partnership. “The optics may be controversial, but the market tends to focus on growth potential,” said one investment strategist. “Access to Gulf capital can dramatically expand a company’s operational reach.” Looking Ahead While the full details of the stake sale remain confidential, observers expect further disclosures as regulatory filings are completed. The firm is reportedly planning to expand into new regions and launch additional blockchain products in the coming year. For the Trump family-linked venture, the deal marks a significant step toward becoming a global player in digital finance. For policymakers and ethics watchdogs, it also raises important questions about how political influence, private enterprise, and international investment intersect in the rapidly evolving crypto economy. Conclusion The sale of a major stake in a Trump family crypto firm to a UAE investment company underscores the growing globalization of the cryptocurrency industry and the increasing involvement of politically connected enterprises in digital finance. While supporters see the move as a strategic business decision, critics argue it highlights the need for greater transparency and ethical safeguards. As cryptocurrency continues to reshape global finance, deals like this will likely become more common—and more closely examined—by regulators, investors, and the public alike.

Jerome Powell
Few figures wield as much influence over the global economy as the chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell has held that responsibility during one of the most economically complex periods in modern history—marked by inflation concerns, shifting interest rate policies, political pressure, and growing debate about the independence of central banks. As his term approaches its conclusion, attention is increasingly turning toward potential successors, with former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh emerging as a prominent name in policy discussions.
