In ancient Chinese myth, when the world’s old structures could no longer carry the weight of life, the Dragon Horse or Longma (龙马) rose from the Yellow River.

With the scales of a dragon and the strength of a horse, it surfaced bearing a sacred pattern on its back; a new design for the cosmos. Its emergence was a sign that Heaven itself was ready to revise what had become rigid, unjust, or misaligned.

The Longma appears when systems calcify. When authority forgets its responsibility to life. When the old order clings to power long after its purpose has faded. In the earliest accounts, its arrival marks a shift in destiny, the quiet ending of one era and the opening breath of the next.

Fire Horse energy is not destruction for spectacle. It is renewal through necessary clearing. It is the force that moves through fear, breaks stagnation, and challenges inherited structures that no longer serve the living.

It makes room for balance, for truth, for possibility.

As we step into this new year, we don’t resist that current.

We move with it. #itsbobbyopp #yearofthefirehorse #bobbythealchemist

 The famous photo of the little girl running screaming toward photographer Nick Ut is impossible to erase from our memory. The little girl was Kim Phùc, nine years old, and her village in Vietnam had been bombed with napalm. Nick captured the terrifying image of the burned girl running crying toward him. That encounter changed their lives..

The photographer saved the little girl's life, assisted her, and rushed her to a hospital. His photo shot made him famous and had the honor of showing everyone the horrors of the Vietnam War. Decades later, the same little girl, now an adult, was immortalized by photographer Joe McNally. Kim's back is marred by scars, but she holds a new life in her arms, a symbol of her victory over death. Thanks to Nick's timely intervention, Kim is living a happy life, far from the horrors of her childhood, despite her scars.

The company Palantir was allegedly hacked. What did the hack reveal? Here’s a quick list according to Kim Dotcom…

1. Peter Thiel and Alex Karp commit mass surveillance of world leaders and titans of industry on a massive scale.

2. They have thousands of hours of transcribed and searchable conversations of Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

3. They have backdoored the devices, cars and jets of world leaders and accumulated the biggest archive of blackmail material.

4. Palantir is creating nuclear and bio weapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia. They believe they are one year away. They plan to achieve this by keeping Russia busy with meaningless peace negotiations.

5. Palantir is responsible of the majority of Palestinian deaths in Gaza. They have developed the AI targeting for Israel.

6. Palantir is an arm of the CIA and all data from international clients is copied into a CIA spy cloud.

7. Palantir has become the most dangerous company in the world. If you work there you have the right to know that this is what Palentir AI is used for, without your knowledge.

8. The Palentir data the hackers allegedly gathered will be given to Russia and/or China.

 

Mona Vanni was an abusive mother who terrorized her children during her life. Before her kids were even of age, they escaped her home and never looked back. To honor the trauma they endured, they made sure that Mona’s headstone told the truth. Despite her smiley disposition, she wasn’t a loving or kind human and wasn’t known for anything good. Today we validate and condemn the horrors her children faced by the hands of their mother. May Buddy, Jackie, and Mike find peace and happiness #fyp #cemetery #graveyard #gravestone #taphophile
 

April 15th 2026 (tax day) - Starve The System Day

They don't care because we have proven incapable of setting aside surface level differences. Incapable of being distracted and divided over trending headlines. Incapable of uniting. Incapable of coming together to address the root cause of this nation's issues...

If we ever want them to be held accountable for their crimes. If we ever want things to change for the better - corporations out of our government, our tax dollars kept here to improve and better our country, them to stop getting rich while they rot in office decade after decade, then we need to show them that we are one, because until then, they will not listen. Nothing else we can do will be effective.

So this is the call to action, no matter who you are, your political or social beliefs, your gender, where you come from - April 15th 2026 - we show them we are awake - no work, no school, no driving, no phones, no social media, no screens, no shopping, no consuming - we disconnect from everything they use to make money, to drain our energy and keep us divided - we stay home, we spend the day with our families - we remind them that they need us, not the other way around.

If we cannot come together for one day and shake them...then I believe it is all lost....

It’s getting harder to ignore the pattern: Extreme wealth hoarding seems to do something profoundly strange to the human psyche.

When you have enough money to insulate yourself from shame, consequences, and the word "no," your grip on normal reality seems to dissolve. It’s almost as if becoming a billionaire is an inevitable path toward bizarre, dystopian, or deeply disturbing behavior.

Here is just a sample of the reality distortion field surrounding some of the world's richest men:

ELON MUSK

Often manifests chaotic personal and professional conduct.

• The obsession with "breeding" and repopulating the Earth with his DNA, sometimes secretly with employees.

• Naming children things like X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.

• Accusations of exposing himself to a flight attendant (leading to a $250k settlement).

 BILL GATES

Despite the philanthropist image, his connections tell a darker story.

• Continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein multiple times *after* Epstein was a convicted sex offender, even flying on his jet.

• Reports of an uncomfortable workplace dynamic where he pursued women working for him at Microsoft and the Foundation.

 DONALD TRUMP

One of the longest and most documented connections to Epstein.

• Was filmed partying with Epstein in the 90s at Mar-a-Lago, laughing and pointing out women.

• Famously called Epstein a "terrific guy" who liked women "on the younger side."

• His name appears multiple times on Epstein’s flight manifests.

 JEFF BEZOS

Seems intent on physically reshaping the world to fit his ego.

• Spending $42 million building a giant clock inside a mountain designed to tick for 10,000 years.

• Commissioning a $500M superyacht so tall that a historic bridge in Rotterdam was initially scheduled to be dismantled just to let it pass.

 MARK ZUCKERBERG

Behavior that often feels like a simulation of human coolness.

• Massive land grabs in Hawaii for a compound, engaging in legal battles to force locals off ancestral lands for his privacy.

• An obsession with Roman Emperor Augustus (even giving his daughters Roman names).

• Strange fixations, like spending a year only eating meat that he killed himself (including laser-sighted goats).

 PETER THIEL & LARRY ELLISON

The dystopian futurists obsessed with cheating death.

• Thiel has shown deep interest in "parabiosis" (injecting young blood into older people) and bought NZ citizenship as a doomsday escape plan.

• Ellison bought 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai for $300M, effectively becoming a modern-day feudal lord over the community there.

It really makes you wonder: At what point does extreme wealth stop being "success" and start becoming a pathology?

George Carlin says: "Consciousness is realizing that your poverty is not a lack of luck, but the result of a plan… They don't want you to be an evolved citizen, but an exhausted worker. A person busy with survival has no time to demand their rights."

In this profound statement, Carlin speaks not just about poverty as an economic problem, but as an intertwined psycho-socio-political system, meticulously crafted to produce a submissive, busy, and exhausted citizen. It's a bold reading of the collective mind of the modern era, where poverty is no longer a natural consequence of circumstances, but a systematic tool for control and the subjugation of consciousness.

From a psychological perspective, an exhausted person loses their capacity for critical thought. When an individual's awareness is confined to securing their next meal, consciousness transforms from a tool for liberation into a mere means of survival. This is the most dangerous form of alienation: when the mind reduces itself to the function of instinct. Here, poverty is not just material deprivation; it's a starvation of dignity and will. A person living under the constant weight of need suffers from what psychologists call existential burnout—a state of internal erosion that drives them toward submission and compliance instead of revolution and creativity.

From a social and political angle, poverty is managed as a tool of control, not as an economic flaw. Consumer societies are built on the principle of deferred gratification; citizens are given doses of false hope through advertisements, promises, and policies, keeping them in a perpetual chase after a mirage. It's a meticulous engineering of helplessness, mastered by the neoliberal system, by transforming the human being into a small cog in the production machine, surrounded by a vast array of distractions and fears. Thus, poverty becomes a function: the function of maintaining the existing order.

From an existential literary perspective, the text can be read as a cry against the slavery of the modern age. Here, poverty is not a transient event, but a spiritual state of inner extinguishment, where a person is reduced to a body that works without living, produces without owning, and is consumed without choosing. It is the new face of slavery; a slavery camouflaged behind a facade of freedom.

In deep psychological analysis, the intended poverty becomes not just a poverty of money, but a poverty of consciousness. When a person is programmed to believe that their misery is destiny, they themselves become the guard of the prison they are placed in. The system needs no walls when fear and deprivation are sufficient to build internal barriers. Thus, poverty transforms into an inherited psychological illness, measured not in currency, but by the degree to which hope has been extinguished.

It is a system of soft control, replacing iron chains with mental shackles. It exhausts the individual in the vortex of work and consumption until they lose their sense of time and meaning. And when Carlin says they don't want you to be an evolved citizen but an exhausted worker, he reveals the core truth: the conscious citizen threatens the system, the intellectual doubts, and the enlightened cannot be led.

From here, the conscious awakening becomes a revolutionary act in itself:

To realize that poverty is a policy, not an accident.

To understand that deprivation of time and knowledge is the most dangerous form of poverty.

And to practice consciousness not as an intellectual luxury, but as a silent resistance that creates itself by itself.
