More Plundering

Crypto

This Catherine Fitts article is about as clear and to the point as you're going to get, and is of interest to everyone, not just Bitcoiners.

However, a couple of caveats. Bitcoin was never "a great idea," as stated in the article. Some of the ideas behind crypto are, though.

And there was no "morph" of Bitcoin to an evil plot, it was a con from the outset. Look at El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. The country that can least afford such nonsense likely was ordered to do so, as this is obviously some pilot run for when they want to force their crypto dystopia on the world at large.

You might say even bitcoin has nothing to do with bitcoin. It's just another scam to rob your money.

And this nonsense about "capitalism" all the time has to be clarified. Capitalism, as should be obvious by now, is merely disguised communism. The system we want to aspire to is "free enterprise," not "fee enterprise."

Land Grab

Speaking of plundering, here's an informative tweet.

Matt Van Swol @matt_vanswol

The "land grab" narrative you've been hearing from people in #WNC is NOT a conspiracy theory.

Here's how it works:

a) Your family lives on 30 acres of land by the river, worth approximately $225,000

b) Helene rolls in and wipes out your home and floods about 50% of your land

c) You now live in a tent with your kids and have applied to get a temporary housing unit from FEMA

d) FEMA shows up, takes a look around and says "sorry, we can't give you a trailer to live in on this land, you are in a flood zone!"

e) You say, "Ok, I don't want to live in a tent with my kids anymore, what should I do?"

f) FEMA says, "You can sell your land to us for the current tax evaluation of $18,000 and we will put you up in a nice warm RV."

g) You say, "Wait, I can't sell this land for $18,000! It's worth at least 10x that and it's the only asset I have."

h) FEMA says, "Ok, no worries. Bye."

i) Now you are stuck living in your tent with your 3 kids wondering if you should sell the only thing you have left to your name just to have a warm place for your family to sleep.

That's the land grab.

Truth Bombs

How It Be

Good Kennedy video. Someone here has a suggestion for Kennedy. Will he follow through?

Sneaky Putin

Nothing new here, this has been obvious for years. Article at Daily Mail. Now they need to mention all the others that use doubles.

Soccer Fun

To be fair, these women just don't have their makeup on. Hater!

That article is a troll posting, the players actually from Congo's TP Mazembe, but still, it speaks to the times when it actually seems real at first glance, and you have to research to confirm if it's true.

Outdoor Fun

Should be an award for this, but they'll probably give it to Obama instead.

Holdover from the Last Special Edition

Intro music...

Politics

Suddenly this lecture surfaces of Trump, from a while back, and he's all about the crucial necessity of "free speech." Essential, indispensable, and all that you know. And... he's talking about dismantling the Dept. of Education. And other promises, all sounding too good to be true. They're building up to something, with more evidence seen in the words of Biden, and Harris, obsessing on this "peaceful transition of power" nonsense. They've just recently popularized this in the last few years. No one was hinting around about "non-peaceful transitions of power" before.

In the past, no one would even think to make such remarks. It was just a given that the current occupant of the White House wasn't going to throw a coup to "stay in power." Weird, and a little ominous, if you stop to think about it. Or it would be, if it mattered who was elected. Because you just know they'll continue to bugger the people and serve themselves, whomever happens to form the government.

They've also been hinting around about "not certifying the results of the election" to keep Trump out.

They're plotting some drama. We'll have to stay tuned to discover what it is.
