🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- A team of innovative Dutch engineers is leading a massive effort to clear the world’s largest collection of floating waste. Boyan Slat, the founder of The Ocean Cleanup, first envisioned this project at just sixteen years old after seeing more plastic than fish while diving. His vision has now evolved into a gigantic floating system designed to gather debris from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a vast area between California and Hawaii. The technology works like a giant floating barrier that moves with the natural currents. It forms a large U-shape to funnel waste into a central zone, allowing the ocean’s own power to assist in the process. A specialized screen hangs beneath the surface to catch items ranging from large fishing nets to tiny bottle caps while allowing marine life to swim safely underneath. Once the collection area is full, a support vessel arrives to haul the gathered material back to land for recycling. As of early 2026, the organization has successfully removed over fifty million kilograms of trash from both oceans and rivers. This dual strategy involves using massive ocean systems alongside smaller interceptors that block waste in rivers before it ever reaches the open sea. The ultimate goal is to reduce floating ocean plastic by ninety percent by the year 2040. This incredible project proves that a bold idea can turn into a global force for good...

Karen Mulder was one of the most famous models in the world—Versace, Dior, Chanel, a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Then she went on French TV and accused top fashion executives of rape, abuse, and trafficking. She named names. The interview never aired. The footage disappeared. Within hours, her credibility was erased. She was committed to a psychiatric hospital. Her career was over. The men she accused kept working. Years later, those same men were exposed—linked to Epstein, accused by dozens of women, arrested, or dead in prison. Karen Mulder was not protected. She was silenced. She wasn’t crazy. She was early.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE On this day in 1973, the David Bowie single “Space Oddity” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #71 (February 2) The single was originally rush-released just ahead of the Moon landing in July 1969. However, it initially sold poorly in the UK and was even banned by many radio stations in the US and the UK, including the BBC. Ultimate Guitar.com said, “The BBC were not the only ones wary of the song’s ominous lyrics. Mercury sent the song to radio stations all over the US. No one would play it, considering it a novelty song that might seek to capitalize on, and cheapen, one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind, with a song with vague ties to emptiness and failure. That simply wouldn’t do. The song completely bombed (topped out at 124 on the Billboard Charts) and led to Bowie being dropped from Mercury Records.” Interestingly, BBC radio banned the song, but BBC TV used it as background music during its coverage of the landing. According to Bowie, “It was picked up by British television and used as the background music for the landing itself in Britain,” Bowie said, then continued with a chuckle: “Though I’m sure they really weren’t listening to the lyrics at all; it wasn’t a pleasant thing to juxtapose against a moon landing. Of course, I was overjoyed that they did. Obviously, some BBC official said: ‘Right, then. That space song, Major Tom…’ blah blah blah,‘ That’ll be great.’ Nobody had the heart to tell the producer: ‘Um… but he gets stranded in space, sir.’” Allegedly, the BBC eventually realized this oversight and did not use the song again until after the Apollo 11 crew slashed down into the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. Buoyed by its inclusion as background music on the official BBC coverage, the song climbed to #5 in the UK. Later, in 1972, after the commercial breakthrough of Bowie's fifth studio album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”, RCA Records undertook a reissue campaign for his Mercury albums that included repackaging David Bowie with the title “Space Oddity”. To promote this release, in the US on 13 December 1972, RCA rereleased "Space Oddity" as a single backed by "The Man Who Sold the World". The single reached #15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Bowie's first hit single in the country. RCA again reissued the track in 1975 as part of a maxi-single, which then became Bowie's very first UK #1 single. The song featuring the iconic, recurring Major Tom character was partly inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film “2001: A Space Odyssey”… #davidbowie, #60smusic, #spaceoddity, #60srock, #thisdayinrock, #rockmusic, #dailyrockhistory, #onthisday, #rockmusic, #rockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #thisdayinrock "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Roman pasta culture is built on a logical, mathematical evolution where one ingredient transforms an entire dish. It begins with Cacio e Pepe, the foundational duo of Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. By adding rendered Guanciale (cured pork jowl) to this base, the dish evolves into Gricia, a richer, saltier masterpiece. From there, the "equation" branches into two global icons. Incorporating a fresh egg into the Gricia base creates the creamy, velvet texture of a true Carbonara. Alternatively, adding tomato to the Gricia transforms it into Amatriciana, introducing a bright acidity that cuts through the fat of the pork. This lineage proves that Roman cuisine isn't just about recipes; it's about a disciplined sequence of ingredients that has defined Italian comfort for generations.

There Is Life After The USA: Go Where You’re Treated Best with Andrew Henderson and Jeff Berwick

Jeff and the Nomad Capitalist talk about expanding your global options to live free and sovereign. Why should you live somewhere where the governme...

SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS! Western countries are increasingly treating Citizens like chattel slaves. The odds are you’re probably existing in a system where human beings are legally owned, bought, sold, controlled, and stripped of autonomy, treated no differently than livestock or objects. In fact, Americans may be the most restricted people in the world, particularly financially. Expat taxes. Restrictions on offshore investments. A country that is increasingly isolated, standing on its own, drifting toward a police state. Why would you want to live there? You are not property of the state. The purpose of a government is to serve the needs of the people. To build roads and schools. To be sovereign, to get along with everybody, and to focus on improving the lives of its people. Not to go bombing people. “Go where you’re treated best” is a very human construct. It is human nature to want to live where you are treated well. Why should you live somewhere where the government takes almost half your money, tells you where and when you are allowed to travel, and sends armed thugs to shoot people for making a video or disagreeing with official views and propaganda? The monetary system is broken. The judicial system is broken. The education and health systems are broken. Yet people are massively brainwashed to see and hear all of this and still proclaim that it is the “best system on earth.” We are superior. American exceptionalism rules. Except it does not. If you are American or Canadian, you effectively have access to one country. You need permission to travel out of your own country. In Australia and the UK this mindset is also becoming explicit. Boris Johnson openly said that if you are convicted of any crime, even something as minor as peeing in a fountain after a night at the pub, you could be denied a passport. Why should your passport strangle you? Today I’m speaking with Andrew Henderson, the Nomad Capitalist who renounced his American citizenship eight years ago. Andrew is probably the human being on earth with the most know-how about going where you’re treated best. He’s definitely also the person I know with the most different passports from all corners of the world. Best of all, he will be speaking virtually at the TDV Summit, so if you are thinking of expanding your residency and investment options, make sure you get your ticket to the Dollar Vigilante Summit on February 21! Today we’re talking about regional blocks and multiple citizenships. The African Union is one example. São Tomé and Príncipe offer one of the cheapest citizenship options, starting around $90,000. You could live in Rwanda, often called the Singapore of Africa, or look at Ethiopia, which is becoming increasingly geopolitically important. These regions are increasingly anti-Western in narrative but pro-freedom in practice. The strategy is to travel on as many identities as possible and live in as many places as possible, for example: ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, through Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Singapore, and Brunei. Mercosur (Southern Common Market) through Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia (in the process of full accession), as well as associated states like Colombia, Peru etc. EAC (East African Community) covers Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, South Sudan, and the DRC. Citizens can travel, live, and in some cases work across borders with minimal friction. Rwanda and Kenya are especially open. Even the European Union offers escape to 27 countries. In today’s video, Andrew talks about his focus on regional blocks in the Global South, where freedom of movement still exists, as well as what he calls the Global Citizenship Sandwich: Keep your money in the most stable places such as Singapore, Switzerland, and Uruguay. Live in a mid-level country, often in Asia, where you can get 80 percent of the lifestyle with 30 percent of the rules and far lower taxes. Invest where others are afraid to look. Cambodia. Bangladesh equities. Iraq. Uzbekistan. Georgian and Armenian currencies have been outperforming so-called stable currencies. Bogotá and Kuala Lumpur are two of the best value cities in the world. Tbilisi and Belgrade are politically incorrect in a way that is refreshing. Cairo offers housing under $1,000 per square meter and even a path to free citizenship aligned with BRICS. Or even better, buy a house in Istanbul, hold it for three years, and qualify for Turkish citizenship. Maybe this is where you bug out and wait out the New World Order. Maybe it is not. The point is to slowly collect optionality around the world. In summary, Get all your residence permits while you can. Do not rely on being a tourist. Understand that you cannot have all the options without sacrificing something. You are going to have to choose. If you could live better where you are welcome and not extorted, but it means you might never return to the United States again, would you be okay with that? If it means living truly free and sovereign, are you willing to make that trade? "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE This week in 1983, the Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band LP “Against the Wind” re-entered the US Billboard 200 Album Chart at #173 (January 29) Released three years earlier, and going all the way to the top of the US charts, “Against the Wind” was to be Seger's only US #1 album, spending six weeks at the top of the Billboard chart, knocking Pink Floyd's “The Wall” from the top spot.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- The difference between premium and mass-market butter comes down to water content and fermentation. High-quality butter starts with rich, high-fat cream, often cultured to develop a nutty aroma and a deep yellow hue. Because it contains less moisture, it foams gently and browns evenly in a pan, making it the essential choice for serious cooking. In contrast, low-quality butter is a mass-produced product often stretched with whey, water, or additives. This chemical makeup causes it to soften too quickly and "sputter" violently when heated as the excess water evaporates. While the top-tier version relies on pure cream and sea salt, the industrial alternative offers a flatter flavor and a watery texture that disappears into the background "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- "To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning in into slumber. The other arts make no such retreat— some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself. This isn't the case with literature. Literature simulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, a play is a novel without narration. A poem is the expression of ideas or feelings a language no one uses, because no one talks in verse." ~Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
