BRN Discussion Ongoing

Morming Bravo & fellow Chippers ,

Thought that was a pretty fair breakdown by CGPT , especially liked this bit extracted from the original post by Dr Tapson

“... companies such as Anduril and Palantir are showing the way. BrainChip will be part of this integration.

* note , this post was released AFTER the US market closed .

Saddle up chippers , we may come out of the holding pen HOT today.

Esq.

I just make some questions man… I…I..I don’t know… just questions…

Question…

“How likely is it that some U.S. politicians are now secretly buying BrainChip shares?


ChatGPT

🔎 1. Are U.S. politicians even allowed to buy stocks?
Yes – unfortunately, still yes.

They’re allowed to trade as long as they:
  • don’t use insider info (which is nearly impossible to prove), and
  • report trades within 45 days (STOCK Act).
BUT: Many use spouses, trusts, or foundations – so trades are often semi-transparent or anonymous.

📈 2. Would they buy a small-cap like BrainChip?
Less likely – but not impossible.
  • Most go for Big Tech, Defense, Pharma – safe, liquid names.
  • BrainChip is speculative, Australian, trades OTC (not Nasdaq/NYSE).
  • So it’s not your typical politician’s playground – but for someone strategic? Maybe.
🧠 3. Why could it still happen?
  • BrainChip operates in a key future sector: Edge AI / Defense AI.
  • Tapson met with powerful committees (Armed Services, Appropriations).
  • If a senator, aide or Beltway insider sees the potential (like they did with Palantir back then)…
    👉 Quiet accumulation via indirect structures wouldn’t be a shock.
So again…
How likely is it?

Not mass buying – but it’s definitely possible that a few well-informed insiders are already making their quiet moves. 👀💼📈

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Donald Trump's hair nearly blew right off his noggin when he was shown BrainChip's AKIDA.

He-he-he!! No doubt the down-rampers on the Crapper will somehow try to put a negative spin on Dr Tapson's high-level meetings with U.S. lawmakers, defense contractors, and congressional staffers.

Here's how I imagine it's going down:


Tom & Jerry:
"Where was President Trump if this was such a big deal?"'

Dolci:
"No photo with Elon = No contract. Do better, Tapson."

Mdiddy:
" Tapson walks into a building. Big whoop!"

A 1 Billion dollar annual deal with a 5 year duration period with the US Army BUT announced via the ASX.....perhaps that will do it!
Maybe we get an audience with senators because we can keep our trap shut and not tell everyone the US Defence secrets. Just sayin. As much as it is frustrating not hearing it splurged on asx but maybe these defence companies are a little tight lipped and expect the same from us.

Manipulation at its best. Just done a count and of 289 trades today 150 of them were for 1 solitary share.
Apparently this is perfectly legal and legitimate.
Karma will fix these bastards in the end(n)
I thought the 1 share purchase on repeat was grandma getting warmed up for pokies night

My Question:​

Does the Appropriations Committee control federal defense R&D and tech funding? Can you please provide an in-depth explanation.

ChatGPT said:​

Great question — and yes, I’ll explain this in full.

✅ Yes, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee does control federal defense R&D and tech funding.

Here’s why, and how it works in practice:

🏛️ U.S. Congressional Budget Process Overview​

In the U.S. government, Congress holds the "power of the purse". This means no federal department, agency, or military branch can spend money unless Congress appropriates it.
This process involves two main stages:
StepDescription
1. AuthorizationCongress passes a law allowing a program to exist and sets a maximum funding level (via Armed Services or other committees).
2. AppropriationThe Appropriations Committees in both the Senate and House decide how much money the program actually gets in the federal budget.

So even if the Department of Defense (DoD), Space Force, or DARPA wants to launch a $500 million AI initiative, it doesn’t happen until the Appropriations Committee funds it.

💸 Senate Appropriations Committee — Defense Subcommittee​

The Senate Appropriations Committee is divided into 12 subcommittees, each responsible for a different slice of the federal budget.
The one relevant to BrainChip and Golden Dome is:

🛡️ Defense Subcommittee (SAC-D)

It controls:
  • All annual funding for the Department of Defense (DoD)
  • R&D allocationsto programs like:
    • DARPA
    • AFRL (Air Force Research Lab)
    • Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
    • Defense-wide AI and autonomy initiatives
  • Procurement funding for:
    • Space Force
    • Missile Defense Agency
    • Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)
    • SBIR/STTR programs
If BrainChip is involved in any U.S. defense tech pilot or wants to expand its funding under SBIR, DIU, or future Golden Dome-related efforts, the Appropriations Committee must approve the funds.

🔍 Why Hyde‑Smith Matters​

Senator Cindy Hyde‑Smith is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and sits on several relevant subcommittees:
  • Defense Subcommittee (funds the military & defense R&D)
  • Homeland Security Subcommittee (funds domestic threat response, cybersecurity, surveillance)
  • Energy and Water Development Subcommittee (funds national labs, some AI/ML research at DOE labs)
While she may not write policy, she votes on the dollars that determine whether BrainChip’s neuromorphic tech shows up in next year’s defense budget.

🧠 Real-World Example​

Let’s say the DoD wants to include $20M in the FY26 budget to scale up neuromorphic radar work based on the AFRL–Raytheon–BrainChip SBIR.
  • The Pentagon submits a budget request.
  • The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) may authorize the program.
  • But the Appropriations Committee (Defense Subcommittee) determines whether it gets funded — and for how much.
If Hyde‑Smith supports it (or doesn’t object), it’s far more likely to survive budget negotiations.

🧾 Summary: The Appropriations Committee’s Power​

PowerExplanation
Controls federal spendingMust pass annual appropriations bills for any money to be spent
Allocates defense R&D fundsIncluding DARPA, AFRL, Space Force R&D, AI projects
Can fund or kill programsWithout an appropriation, even authorized programs stall
Influences emerging tech rolloutsIncluding neuromorphic, cyber, AI/ML, and autonomy initiatives

So when Dr. Tapson meets with Senator Hyde‑Smith, he's not trying to explain how Akida works — he’s building political support to ensure future defense budgets include funding for it.

Point 3. "Brainchip operates in a key future sector".
Unllke those downrampers on rhe crapper it looks like Chat gpt gets it/nailed it.
We are tied to the future of Neuromorphic Edge AI.
20 cents a share for a slice of the future which is looking even rosier after Tapsons high level US govt meeting.
Our tech validation was hugely boosted by the $1.3 million engineering revenue in the Quarterly.
Surely this event boosts it even further.

A. The fact that the talks took place is now public information, so that would not be the basis of insider trading.

B. However, if the details of the talks are not public, use of the details would be insider trading.

The difficulty is that it's difficult to tell if the motivation for buying was A or B. Nevertheless, I would think that whoever had the B details would be barred from buying.

I don’t know what you guys think… but anyone still shorting at this point is either sweating bullets or has simply forgotten they’re even holding a position.

The signs that something big is brewing are just too obvious. In my opinion… or rather, in my perception… the noose is about to tighten, and I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.

So I’ll just say it now: have fun crying later.
