Why did I say goodbye to Twitter/X?


I am asked this regularly. I used to love Twitter back in 2020. It was the best method to collect good intel. I could follow experts that I trust, and follow their most recent posts and comments.

However, the NEW Twitter/X follows deceptive censoring practices. Twitter lets you post freely, but your posts are shadow banned. As the president of Twitter states, “You can have freedom of speech, NOT freedom of reach”.

On Twitter, it is impossible to follow someone’s posts chronologically according to the most recent tweets at the top. Twitter curates the posts, making ‘dangerous’ ones virtually disappear.

The Irrelevance of the US Navy

China and Iran have just rendered the US Navy irrelevant, as it no longer has the ability to a) infringe upon Iran’s ability to export oil or b) prevent China from obtaining oil. This may be the most significant thing to happen on the global scene since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation […]

Can Insects Reveal a Hidden Starlink User? 🛰️🦟

Starlink terminals transmit and receive data using high-frequency radio waves, which are sensitive to physical obstructions like roofs or even tree canopies. That’s why open sky is a must for a stable connection.

But here’s a curious twist.

Field observers have noted that in cool weather, the air just above a Starlink dish gets slightly warmer due to the radio wave energy. This warm microzone can attract flying insects — like gnats and midges — creating a visible swirl above the antenna.

So in theory, a “hidden” user could be revealed… by a buzzing cloud of bugs dancing in the warm beam of their dish.

Physics meets entomology, and maybe even surveillance.

In 1918, Admiral Kolchak marched on the Russian capital from Siberia. Kolchak's forces, together with seasoned marines and Siberian Cossacks, swept through the Bolsheviks like a typhoon. In July, 1918, Lenin ordered the murder of the Royal Family before Kolchak's forces could reach their destination. According to some sources, Lenin himself confirmed the execution order with New York bankers.

If you wanted to clear a neighborhood out to exploit California's most significant oil deposit, this was a very convenient neighborhood to burn to the ground. https://substack.com/@thedukereport/note/c-118213292

Did you know? 🎓

This may be the most idiosyncratic book review ever. It’s as much about the reviewer as it is about my book. Yet, I found it strangely compelling, and not only because it was about my own book.

Life is not fair. It is not fair that Dr. Schantz, scientific genius, holder of 8 million patents, successful entrepreneur, author of the brilliant techno thriller series The Hidden Truth, family man, and Boy Scout leader, writes social parody this well. Reader, I want to grab you by the lapels, pull you close, and tell you in an urgent heartfelt whisper that a physicist, of all things, has written one of the best social parodies of the current horrible era.

Dear Reader, I write social parody. This review is like the Salieri of the 1984 film Amadeus critiquing the work of Mozart. Social parody is naturally the province of disaffected losers like me, or so I thought. I may not have much going for me, but I have the ability, from my disaffected loser position, to skewer the world on a stick and hold it up for derision. Well, Dr. Schantz, despite his many amazing accomplishments, writes social parody like the most disaffected of losers, because, like I said, life is not fair.

We are talking parody reminiscent of Tom Wolfe. Like Bonfire of the Vanities, The Wise of Heart is a courtroom circus, with its protagonist caught in the center, that captures and caricatures the current political climate like a funhouse mirror.
