Beyond Meat $BYND signs a $23.5M pea protein supply deal with Roquette through 2027.

The agreement includes $1M in payment security and inflation linked pricing. To fuel growth, the board approved a 10M share equity plan to recruit new talent under Nasdaq rules.

🚨🚨🚨 IRAN JUST OFFERED EUROPE A HORMUZ DEAL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨

On the surface: Iran offered the EU transit access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a small diplomatic move. It is not.

This is a goddamn financial nuclear bomb.

💀 The Hormuz Strait carries 20% of ALL the world's oil
💀 Europe's energy bill jumped $16.2 BILLION in just 30 days
💀 Natural gas in Europe is up 100%. Oil up 60%. Diesel at $200/barrel
💀 Dollar reserves have already fallen from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years

⚠️ If Europe takes this deal, they pay in euros — not dollars
⚠️ One major non-dollar oil deal is all it takes to show the world it CAN be done

The petrodollar is the most powerful financial system ever created. Born in 1974. It forced every nation on Earth to hold dollars just to buy oil. That's the entire basis of US financial dominance.

If that system cracks — BRICS accelerates, Gulf states reconsider, dollar demand collapses, and America can no longer fund its $34 trillion debt on easy terms.

ECB board member Panetta said it on April 2: "Even if the Iran war ends, the damage has been done."

They're showing you a war about nuclear weapons and regional security.
They're NOT showing you that the REAL war is over who gets to print the world's reserve currency.

→ Iran blocks Hormuz for the US. Opens it for EU with a deal.
→ EU, desperate and bleeding, seriously considers taking the deal.
→ Deal gets done in euros or yuan. Not dollars.
→ Every country watching — BRICS, Global South, Gulf states — sees it happen.
→ "If the EU can bypass the dollar, so can we."
→ Dollar demand falls. Reserve share collapses. US inflation rises.

If America is so powerful, why is the EU considering a deal with the country America is bombing?

Complete silence.

This is no longer just a Middle East war.
This is a direct attack on the petrodollar.
Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨

The Iran war will escalate to involve all major allies. How do I know this?

Because this isn't just a war... it's a battle for the survival of the Dollar and destruction of China's Belt and Road imitative.

All wars are banker wars.

Nuclear returns...

💥BREAKING: Trump just announced the US will begin striking Iranian bridges and electric power plants next.

He posted this following Thursday's close, since the markets are closed today for Good Friday.

Markets reopen Monday morning, April 6. The exact same day Trump's 10 day pause on Iranian infrastructure strikes expires.

The next decade belongs to Asia.

GDP growth forecasts for 2025-2026:

🇮🇳 India — 6.6% / 6.2%

🇮🇩 Indonesia — 4.9% / 4.9%

🇨🇳 China — 4.8% / 4.2%

🇧🇷 Brazil — 2.4% / 1.9%

🇺🇸 US — 2.0% / 2.1%

🇬🇧 UK — 1.3% / 1.3%

🇯🇵 Japan — 0.9% / 0.6%

🇫🇷 France — 0.9% / 0.6%

🇩🇪 Germany — 0.9% / 0.2%

Now connect this to everything happening right now.

India is growing at 6.6% with only 20 days of oil reserves left and Hormuz closed.

Indonesia is at 4.9% almost entirely dependent on Gulf energy flows.

Meanwhile Germany, the industrial engine of Europe?
0.2% growth.

The energy crisis isn't hitting everyone equally.

The fastest growing economies are the most exposed to Hormuz.

Growth and energy vulnerability are now the same chart.

Guardian doesn’t just see the scene. It sees the airspace around it.

With integrated radar, Guardian can detect obstacles at night and during adverse weather conditions where visual camera systems struggle.

Combined with LiDAR and additional visual cameras, these sensors realize a next-generation obstacle avoidance capability built for a new era of emergency response.

Introducing the first ever #Starlink-connected DFR drone. Guardian pushes the limits of connectivity so you're covered when traditional methods fail.

Guardian runs on BRINC Connect 2.0, blending satellite comms, mesh networking radios, and dual-SIM 5G into one resilient system.

Humanoids are finally getting a sense of touch that actually feels... human. 🤖

As third-gen bots like Optimus, XPENG, and Figure move from labs to the real world, the focus is shifting from just "walking" to "feeling."

We are seeing a move toward tactile fabrics that can be literally tailored to a robot's frame like a custom suit.

This isn't just about simple pressure sensors; it's about a full electronic skin with a folding radius under 0.2mm.

That means a bot can detect a gram-level touch, sense textures, or even feel the slight slip of an object before it drops.

The industrial impact is massive—the global market for these flexible sensors is projected to hit 27.4 billion RMB (approx. $3.98B) by 2030.

Beyond just picking up boxes, this tech allows robots to sense the warmth and pressure of a hug or adjust balance through foot sensors.

High-density arrays with dozens of sensors per square centimeter are becoming the new baseline for dexterity.

By turning physical contact into high-fidelity data, these skins are the final key to making robots safe for our homes and hospitals.

The future of robotics is looking a lot more flexible and a lot more sensitive.

Anthropic just bought Coefficient Bio for about $400M.

Signals where frontier AI companies think the next serious money is.

Coefficient Bio reportedly built tools for drug discovery, research planning, and regulatory strategy, so Anthropic is buying workflow knowledge as much as software.

Biotech work needs systems that can track experiments, connect lab data, help plan studies, and draft the dense paperwork around drugs and regulation, which is where a focused startup can matter more than a bigger general model alone.

So with this acquisition healthcare AI gets valuable when it is tied to real scientific work rather than generic text generation.

Generalist AI has just broken the "impossible triangle" of speed, reliability, and intelligence in robotics.

They’ve pushed their embodied foundation model forward in a big way: GEN-1 hits “Mastery” on simple physical tasks,99% average success rate, and it can improvise when things go wrong.

Smooth, natural, fast(factory owners must be very interested)👇

>Folding boxes: 200 runs at 99% success in ~12 seconds ( ~34s before)
>Packing phones, folding T-shirts, servicing robot vacuums,hundreds of reps with almost zero failures
> Intelligent improvisation, handling uncertain tasks
>Needs only about 1 hour of robot-specific data per task

This feels like a real step toward humanoid robots that are actually reliable enough for factories, warehouse or homes.

Physical AGI is accelerating

Improvised intelligence is an emergent behavior.

Imagine a factory assembly line: if a screw were to fall onto the work surface, a robot could pick it up and seamlessly resume the ongoing process.

Or, while handling packages, if one were to drop to the floor, a humanoid robot could bend down to retrieve it, place it into a box, and continue its work.

Automation in factory warehouses requires the ability to operate without interruption, even amidst uncertainty.

$ONDS 🇺🇸 President Trump to unveil $1.5 trillion defense budget, the largest yearly US military spending increase since World War II, Reuters reports.

If Trump follows through on a $1.5 trillion defense budget, Ondas could be one of the names to watch. The company is already positioning itself in autonomous drones, counter-drone systems, and defense contracting, and a bigger Pentagon budget could accelerate demand for exactly those capabilities.Ondas also recently strengthened its defense posture by moving toward prime-contractor status and landing new border-security and counter-UAS orders, which could help it capture more of any increased spending. If defense outlays surge, companies with ready-to-deploy autonomous systems may be among the first beneficiaries.

Just my thoughts.
