"Official" (impostor) Bitcoin Core to Drop to $0 in 2023? for KRAKEN:BTCUSD by shelby3

Make sure you’re paying attention to my update comment buried on my prior idea.

“So now the ANYONECANSPEND donations attack timing might be imminent? How else can that pattern repeat? The posited egregious crash from Dec to February will likely be before the full scale recession crash to come later in 2023. And how would BTC rally back up during a recession? Because legacy Bitcoin will rise and the impostor Bitcoin Core (which everyone erroneously thinks is the official Bitcoin) will die. Remember if you don’t hodl in addresses that begin with 1 (not 3 nor bc1) then you do not hodl Bitcoin, you hodl some impostor scam coin from Blockstream not Satoshi’s protocol which will be restored as I explained in detail in my Gist document.”

Comment:

I think we will get another crypto bull market starting Q1 2025 and running through 2026.

The proof-of-work altcoins will destroyed by miner attacks. The exchanges will be more regulated by the FATF, e.g. there will be travel rule where your coins are tracked from exchange to wallet to exchange. If you use decentralized exchanges (DEX) and/or anonymity features your coins can become tainted and not accepted by centralized exchanges.

Also as the WW3 develops there will likely be capital controls to enforce sanctions against the enemy.

Our overlords might leverage the incoming recession (2023 – 2024) to launch their diabolical 666 central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by offering Universal Basic Income (UBI) via the national CBDC. These will scale up over the years.

But it’s not clear what ponzi features altcoins will be able to FOMO the public into in the future? DeFi basically doesn’t make any sense as Luna recently demonstrated when you can’t print money out-of-thin-air like the Fed can to prop up the unsustainability of leverage and compounding when it crashes.

Have any utility tokens really panned out? Brave’s browser token?

Anonymity could be important for privacy, but needs to be compatible with reporting to authorities because an underground economy isn’t likely going to fly.

My idea for an altcoin remains… {rest of my Telegram post is redacted from public view}

Comment:

Taking a harsher and more critical eye to the Bitcoin Dominance chart, BTC might be set to outperform until BTC.D hits perhaps 50 – 52%.

After that altcoins may outperform into the coming, posited crypto top (perhaps December) but probably only back to backtest support at 42 – 43%. Thus the outperformance of altcoins to be less than half of what it was from January to May 2021. Thus I should scale back my projections on the altcoins.

Comment:

If $1475 is not the bottom for ETH which I doubt although might get a bounce from here, looks like ETH/BTC is going to drop to the 0.382 log Fib level (0.0474) thus probably headed down to $1100 – $1250 if BTC is headed down to $23 – $26k. I have ETH only outperforming BTC by 60% (1.6 times) from the bottom to the posited December top.

Comment:

Possible that ETH/BTC bottomed here if use non-log scaled Fib retracements. In which case ETH would only decline to ~$1225 – 1375.

Comment:

ADA is projecting down to $0.40 – 47 with an intermediate level $0.43. The $0.525 level may hold but I doubt it.

ADA/BTC won’t make a lower low because at the low the $0.40 – 47 price range would correspond to $26.3 – 30.9k for BTC. At $0.40 and $23.1k, that would be 0.0000175.

I think ADA will outperform BTC by 3 – 3.5 times after it bottoms, but it’s possible to be only 2.2 – 2.5.

After it bottoms, ADA should be a decent method to have leverage on BTC without a margin or leverage trading account.

Comment:

I am one of the few experts who understand the economics and game theory of why this ANYONECANSPEND “attack” is coming to destroy the impostor Bitcoin which everyone thinks is the official Bitcoin. I explained it all here:

Comment:

This is a very interesting discussion with Harry Dent. I read his book in 2005 and it set me on my path to investing in precious metals. I suggest listening on 1.75 speed from the linked juncture forward:

1. Dent says 43 minutes that cryptocurrency and blockchain is in its dot.com bubble phase and the crash of 2023 to 2024 will be like the 2001 Dot.com crash. Some years later real companies akin to Amazom.com will be spawned. He says Bitcoin will drop to $3 to 10k, then years later rise to $0.5 million—well I agree with that.

2. Dent is expecting the S&P to decline 85% to 670 by 2024. Remember Ron Walker expects 1600. Dent has since 2007 underestimated that the Boomers and the governments they elect would not take away the punch bowl. And would continue to use the Fed to print money to levitate the economy and debt levels. As Dent points out that the economy is a zombie; and I’ll add that is why they had to create this COVID scam in 2020, because the Repo markets were blowing up and they needed a way to artificially force the Fed to pump $trillions into the economy. I expect the Fed again in 2025 to attempt to levitate this economy but this is economic maladaptation going to cause the global economy to fracture and WW3.

3. At 30 minutes in the video, Dent thinks housing will crash 40 – 50% in 2023 – 2024. Given the number of homes demanded at peak buying age 41 (for an individual’s lifetime largest house), the U.S.A. never needs to build another home in the U.S. ever. Housing will go into a decline for decades, except in Asia. This is the best time to sell housing and downsize immediately before 2023 starts. Bankrupt local governments will raise property taxes which will drive housing prices lower.

4. I commented:

“Harry Dent needs to search for the Armstrong Economics' blog article "The Risk of Low Interest Rates", also "Interest Rates – Just Amazing". His mistake is that as interest rates rise it will be spiral up because who is going to buy all those Treasuries as the government has to borrow at faster rates as interest rates rise. This will not unwind in 2 years.Has he not noticed that interest rates have been rising with the dollar lately as risk assets sold off? The Fed will try to monetize again in 2024 which will prevent 670 S&P (more like 1600 for the bottom instead), but the global monetary system is breaking and WW3 becomes the only option. The cerveza sickness scam was all about forcing the Fed to monetize. The premier safe haven will become the non-impostor Bitcoin (perhaps in 2023) which nobody knows about and for a while the dollar. The 'official' Bitcoin Core is an impostor and will be destroyed. Gold will probably also be a safe haven because gold rises during war and fear about the global monetary system going up in flames. Harry Dent will be correct about deflation leading to low interest rates but later perhaps after 2028 or 2032. Harry clarified at 42 minutes 30 seconds that his interest rates falling thesis is only during the sharp crash coming with a recession and market crash 2023 to 2024, which I can perhaps agree with.”

5. Dent says the Millennials can lead us out of this crisis from 2024 forward if we write off the debts. But there is no damn way the Boomers are going relinquish political control until they are dead. Really nature is in control and the COVID scam really was nature out smarting the system, as all those jabs (my mother had 2 doses plus 2 boosters already) are going to help kill them off faster (sorry to say in my mother’s case I hope she is an outlier). So the 2024 election is likely to be won by Trump. That will be the last POTUS not elected by the Millennials. From 2028 onward (after the WW3 that the Boomer’s system is fomenting) the Millennials will take control and they will radically change the U.S.. and other countries that had a baby Boomer bulge after WW3. So the Boomers were created by WW2 and they will cease and leave us with WW3 as they depart. Will the Millennials elect Ron DeSantis as POTUS in 2028?

The Millennials will embrace central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), They will expect social change and for society to be “fair”, “socially responsible” and all those weasel words for TECHNOCRACY.

In a recent survey, 63% of millennials—essentially workers under 35—said the primary purpose of businesses should be “improving society” instead of “generating profit."

Comment:

In today’s private blog, Armstrong emphasized that inflation will continue to rise in 2024.

Here is what he blogged publicly in March and look at that reescalation of international war in 2023, Panic cycle in 2026 and second peak in 2027. Is that a WW3 from 2023 to 2027? The interest rate chart has escalating peaks until 2027.

“I am concerned that when you look around the globe, so many things have serious targets and panic cycles in 2023. Even in the war cycle, the computer has the highest aggregate bar for 2023. The central banks are unable to prevent inflation because this is a shortage crisis, not a speculative boom where raising interest rates will reduce the buying.

While the Central Bankers think this is clear sailing, they have entered uncharted waters. The risks of the markets discovering they cannot control the economy anymore will raise the crisis to extreme levels as we head into 2023.”

Comment:

Armstrong explains what I was attempting to point out in my rebuttal of Harry Dent:

“So how does stopping QE actually create inflation? The withdrawal of the Fed, the ECB and the BOJ from the QE programs will lead to an increase in yields on the bond markets sending the financing costs for the states higher. This will now increase government spending & borrowing much more rapidly even if they fail to increase program spending. Governments are not looking at this at all because they always assume what worked before will resume. This is predicated upon the notion that people will continue to buy government debt.

Governments have increased their spending sharply because interest rates were effectively zero and the central banks were buyers. Where the national debt under Ronald Reagan reached $1 trillion for the first time, Obama routinely ran $1 trillion budgets annually.

Now comes the moment of truth. Has QE undermined the bond market to such an extent that only a blind fool will buy government debt in an atmosphere of rising rates? How can bonds survive and the system of perpetually borrowing year after year without ever paying-off the debt continue indefinitely? Such theories cannot ever see that the economy is a cycle and that just because they could sell their bonds today does not guarantee they will be able to do so tomorrow…”

This is what we were saying back in 2016 or even 2008, that there would be stagflation with inflation in the things that can’t suffer demand destruction (e.g. food) and deflation in assets and discretionary spending.

So interest rates will rise while the economy will decline and the populations of the world will be suffering and angry which is the recipe for international war.

Comment:

From this Armstrong is emphasizing that from 2024 to 2028 at least perhaps until 2032, the authoritarianism will become much worse especially in the Western world.

Remember lately there was proposal floated (out of the WHO?) to tax those who didn’t take vaccines. WHO’s pandemic treaty suffered at least a temporary setback to 2024 recently when African nations refused.

Note which locales have been most lax on authoritarianism during the COVID scam as those may be the most freedom oriented post-2024? Although will Western, G7 and NATO nations be able to pressure non-aligned nations (e.g. Mexico, Thailand, Philippines) into enforcing wartime capital controls? WW3 (e.g. PoSoFs for crypto) will be the excuse for property confiscation?

My comment:

@grepcat, I stopped working on the Gist which is incomplete. For example, I do believe viruses exist, just they have not been proven to cause disease. And there are always dozens if not 100s or 1000s of corona viruses circulating every year. Except for iatrogenic responses there were no excess deaths nor an increase of non-influenza-like respiratory illness. I have the data and the charts. The cerverza sickness scam was premediated and manufactured illusion to cover up the fact that Europe had reached the point their economy was going to blow up. The Minsky Moment has arrived but the Boomer politics is forcing WW3 down our throats. The Boomers arrived because of the baby boom after WW2 and they will depart with WW3 and the political scams to appease their desire to keep the debt party going forever.

A virus should fill a few functions in order to be categorized as such, though. Meaning it should be pathogenic and reproduction competent. So if such a thing doesn't exist, then neither do viruses, and the particles they take electron microscope images of are something else. Agree?

anonymous, {6/13/22 9:35 AM}
I guess it is semantics, but considering how they abuse this concept, I think it is important not to use the term virus unless it really is what they claim it to be.

Shelby Moore, {6/13/22 10:10 AM}

One of the most significant problems we face in the future is that the Millennials are significantly college education and in particular in an era in which universities were pushing leftist and technocrat ideologies. So I don’t like the NWO that the Millennials will create after 2028 or 2032 in the Western world. The future is dismal. Plus we have the Maunder Minimum accelerating from 2030 into 2050, so the food supply and climate will be horrible.

So not only do we have WW3 incoming and then the West basically taxing and stealing everything from us from 2024 to 2032. Then from 2030 to 2050, we get to watch the Millennials enslave us in social justice and technocracy. Martin mentions the nonsense about climate change in the interview and he points out historically that during cooling periods, society collapses. Scientists don’t yet know if the recent Tonga mega eruption will cause a cooling spell next year and crop failures analogous to the Year Without Summer 1816, which correlates to the rise of disease, e.g. Black Plague occurred during the Little Ice Age.

I want to hide in the mountain. This will not be a golden years retirement for me. It will be dismal and bleak.

Thanks to the Boomers for taking everything for themselves, raising the Millennials wrong and leave us with a bleak future.

As I have been writing for years, the West is committing societalcide.

As Armstrong says in the aforelinked video, the wealth of a nation is its people and their culture and attitude. Thus the West is doomed because the Millennials are fucked in their heads, because they were the late and second batch of the children of the Boomers. Or GenX parents who put their kids in the matrix allowing them to take on massive student loan debt to go to college to become indoctrinated in BS.

The question is whether the U.S.A. can shake off this leftist, social justice and technocracy mental illness, attitude, culture and indoctrination and get back to what we do best? I do not think so, because the U.S.A. became driven by consumerism and that must die now because the debt bubble is in extremis.

Interestingly Armstrong notes that before China starts a war with the U.S. by blockading Taiwan, it would sell its massive U.S. Treasury holdings first. Thus what do you think will happen in U.S. Treasury interest rates circa 2023, 2024 or 2025 when China sell? The Fed may not be able to buy it given high inflation rate due to supply destruction. As Armstrong’s forecast arrays are showing, the situation in the U.S. and world is going to become very bleak in 2024 going forward.

Armstrong explains basically what I have written how the Davos elite plan to enslave the society in Universal Basic Income and Central Bank Digital Currencies. The EU destroyed their pensions with negative interest rates.

Martin explains that authoritarianism that will result will mimick the EU system where the people’s vote means nothing. The stolen 2020 POTUS election was the first example. The U.S. may break up into individual States eventually as the reaction if Americans migrate to congregate by political ideology— not clear yet.

Crude oil double current price next year. Strife and crime will rise radically. Expect many mass shootings in the U.S.. Africa and South America to come out better than the West.

Right.

There are apparently particles created. Whether these are fragments of dead cells or whether cells really communicate their RNA and DNA machinery with other cells, there’s no proof that these cause any illness. I have looked at the research attempting to show a causal relationship between viral transmission and disease and it doesn’t hold up.

Illness could be caused by toxins (e.g. vaccines, DDT) and possibly bacteria. Bacteria may change their mode of action based on the environment, i.e. toxins which is the terrain theory of illness.

Modern civilization is drunk on its Koolaid of thinking science is a super power. No. Science is a flawed system as is everything in human nature.

Comment:

I’m not saying that every Millennial is a leftist, but the chart at the following linked exemplifies that we face going forward. Millennials approved of that corrupt rascal Obama 64% and disapproved Trump with only 27% who was the best POTUS since Reagan. Not that I like everything Trump did and he can be oaf about certain issues.

The future is absolutely wrecked when the Millennials takeover the voting, e.g. AOC who would have wrecked our economy even worse had she had her way.

Comment:

So it appears I may have been correct since I first identified this megaphone pattern in summer 2021, even before the November top. Which is why I was prepared to sell that top. Bitcoin is in some sort of Expanded Flat:

What is not clear is if there will be a panic selling thrust down to ~$13k. Both the a-b-c projection and the Terminal Elliot Wave condition of wave #2 retracing more than 0.618 of wave #1 (on a wick only though) and the proportion projection of wicks below the megaphone (compared to March 2020) all point to a $13k wick low. Yet the fractal structure seems to imply that wick low below the megaphone will not be until after the posited nosebleed rally to ~$110 – 130k.

So it’s nearly impossible to target precisely the exact bottom. If purchase for example at the back fill of the $18.4k CME gap (assuming price falls that far) a wick low could possible take the USD price of your hodlings down -30%. Will panic selling take Bitcoin down that much? Or will $17 – 20k hold for the bottom?

Thought this visual was good. Was wondering if this is fiscal spending or monetary policy.

Finite Maz, {6/14/22 8:38 PM}
{ Photo }
Here’s a good view of the fiscal. The borrowing in these “budgets” is ON TOP of the money printing, exacerbating the inflation. And since Bush and Trump, running huge deficits seems to be BIPARTISAN. (Sorry if off topic, Shelby)

Finite Maz, {6/14/22 8:44 PM}
The red inflection is a series of Covid relief stimuli, much of it passed under Trump but the last of which passed under Biden and was IMO completely and hilariously unnecessary. The amount of that total “stimulus” that was obtained by fraud or otherwise caught up in corrupt institutions I would bet is much >50%. Shelby, I think you remember me calcing just how absurd the stimuli amounts actually were

Finite Maz, {6/14/22 9:16 PM}
People are retarded because they can’t realize the real stimulus went into the hands of growing behemoth whales. It’s a war of whales, everyone else are nobodies. Look at Bill gates shorting tesla a month ago before a collapse in everything, elon musk asked very good questions. “I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change”

Have we been in a free market since 1913? People claim whats happening now is the purest form of capitalism

Shelby Moore, {6/15/22 6:27 AM}
{In reply to Finite Maz}
Coincidentally I was watching a video by Noami Prins last night and she was emphasizing that since the U.S. went off the gold standard in 1971, the financialization of the economy has separated from the real economy. She makes the point that prices are rising so fast that it makes no sense to even hold a job and only investing or trading markets could possibly keep up. Remember I had documented in Gist how Blackrock has taken over the control of the Fed essentially and has been using crises to force them to hand money to Blackrock via QE. The banksters’ coup d‘etat of the U.S. really accelerated after the Long-term Capital Mgmt fiasco (which illegally snared Martin Armstrong in prison for contempt-of-court), the inside-job 9/11 attacks, and then of course the 2008 Great Recession which turned the keys over to BlackRock.

As these entities destroy the global monetary system while enriching themselves and fomenting WW3 intentionally, they are impoverishing the U.S. people which will achieve the elitist goal of pushing everyone onto Communist style Universal Basic Income (UBI) which they will dole out with 666-like Central Bank Digital Currencies, in which they can turn off your ability to survive (buy & sell) if you write anything critical about or protest their tyrannical rule coming— essentially if you are not a good slave. The West is now moving towards the Communism that Russia and China had. And yet so many AmeriKaans are oblivious and floating their social justice ideologies as the “useful idiots” in support of the Biden who is acting on behalf of this coup d’etat — all as Yuri Bezmenov warned would be the case back in the 1970s. Yet if you try to tell people this, they are not worried and they tell you it is just a cycle and they had seen it all before in the 1960s or 1970s, lol. Freaking idiots.

There is nothing we can do but escape to the mountains and watch the West self-immolate.

Yeah Trump also contributed to the ongoing coup d‘etat. But he did not go as far off the rails as Biden who intentionally forced the war with Putin in order to crush the American people. At least Trump scaled down troop deployments in the Middle East and told NATO they needed to pay their own way. But as Europe’s banking system was on the verge of collapse in 2019 because of their ZIRP, that is when they prepared in 2019 (see Bill Gates’ Event 201, Trump signing legislation or E.O. for $billions for new corona vaccines in 2019, etc) for the pLandemic. Create a new test for the flu and then you have an instant pandemic of the flu, lol— a pLandemic of testing. Exacerbate it with iatrogenic treatments and face diaper breathing your own carbon dioxide into the lungs. Yet these idiots in our world are so easily duped. You have to wonder what use is high IQ when people with such high IQ can’t grok these basic concepts.

To keep up with the money printing one can’t just hodl the dollar, not real estate. As they crush the markets with volatility over the coming years, and then start confiscating assets as capital controls for WW3 (as they are now doing against Russians in the West), we will end up owning nothing. Real estate taxes will likely skyrocket as local govts go bankrupt and real estate values plummet.

This is why legacy Bitcoin will rise to the be world global reserve asset (not the impostor Bitcoin which everyone currently, erroneously thinks is the official Bitcoin).

Comment:

Something I wrote in my private Telegram channel when discussing my potential altcoin design…

ADD: low txn fees are accomplished because each transaction (even smart contract) is only run and verified once by the receiving aggregrating node due to the use of aforementioned STARK proofs unlike Ethereum which has high gas fees purportedly because every mining node computes every smart contract.

Note I have posited in the past that the Ethereum miners are an oligarchy and thus they only run the smart contract (verification) computation once by secret agreement and thus the high gas fees is purely an oligarchy extracting egregious rents on the ecosystem— another form of corruption.

No one ever wanted to believe me about the fact that the cryptocosm is mostly a corruption. And that there was massive leverage in the DeFi system via recursive farming which is impacting Celsius (). Etc.. Nobody ever wants to believe me about the ANYONECANSPEND attack coming. Sigh.

Comment:

{In reply to SunZoomSpark}
Exchanges can fail at any time, but I am doubting the exchanges will fail en masse until after the wave #5 peak expected to hopefully be a new ATH by December or Q1 2023.

Again the terminal EW condition (i.e. that wave #3 at the March 2020 low retraced more than 61.8% Fib of wave #1 from summer 2019) requires wave #4 (which we are in now) to bottom below the top of wave #1, thus below $13.9k. I have been saying this since summer 2021 and everyone thought I was nuts for saying BTC could decline back to $13 – 14k then make a new ATH before the cryptowinter is over.

That being said, note that on a weekly chart that the candle bodies did not close below the golden pocket (61.8 – 65%), thus may not go down to $13k but if it does it could be an intraday wick low as was March 2020.

Again I doubt very much the $9.8k CME gap will be filled on this wave #4, because we still to go back up to a new ATH for wave #5, so that would be too bearish and too much of a decline for bull market correction. That would be 30% below the top of wave #1. Instead it is more likely that if we do get the egregious wick down, that it will tease that the sky is falling but will top short of filling that lowest CME gap. We need to reserve that $9.8k CME gap for the egregious crash coming after wave #5 peak. Anything can happen, but I am playing the probabilities. I would not look a gift horse in the mouth and refuse to buy $13.9k because I am scared about a 5% chance of dropping to $9k.

Yeah I also use to bet at the horse race track at age 13 and I always won because I bet to show conservatively, evaluated the horses carefully and played the odds mathematically. Whereas my grandfather was doing it for the thrill and so he bet exacta and usually lost but sometimes won big but overall he lost on average but it was the cost of his entertainment.

I mean before bull market is over and cryptowinter starts.

Comment:

Gareth Soloway who predicted the $20k crash since the top, says BTC will bull trap bounce to ~$25k, then crash to $12k.

Full interview:

Another interview he’s not expecting a new ATH for many years from now (he will be correct after the bull trap bounce to a new ATH):

His chart:

Mine implicates a lower low $14.7k in July:

Comment:

Assuming a bounce to ~$25k, each of the prior two declines has been ~45 – 46%. Thus expecting a wick below the prior wave #1 high of $13.9k for the July bottom. This will entirely fulfill the terminal impulse Elliot Wave condition where wave #2 for March 2020 cerveza sickness dump retraced more than log Fib 68.1% of wave #1. This still allows wave #5 to make a new ATH but implies that the correction after wave #5 will be precipitous.

I keep telling everyone that legacy Bitcoin will be Rothschild’s 1988 Economist Magazine cover story’s rising Phoenix out of the ashes of WW3 as the article predicted.

Whereas our current price inflation is supply side driven, actually premeditated sabotage (cerveza sickness scam, forcing Putin to war, and sabotaging domestic oil production by the Bolsheviks and Neocons in control of our illegitimate government).

@stephen girling people who need to eat will take what they can get. Remember there was severe rationing during WW2. And the Bolsheviks and Neocons in control our illegitimate government are intentionally creating WW3 right now. First they forced Putin into a corner on Ukraine. Now they are have bribed Lithuania to block his resupply trains to the three sides, land locked Kaliningrad, forcing Putin to eventually take the Suwałki Gap, or Suwałki Corridor, which will be a direct invasion on a NATO member meaning the security obligations of the U.S. will be triggered and WW3 ensues. China will force the U.S. to fight on two fronts by taking or more likely blockading Taiwan. The U.S. then blockades all of China or perhaps all of the first island chain of SE Asia after China sinks one of our aircraft carriers near the Taiwan strait with their hypersonic missiles for which we have no defense. So massive shortages of everything, everywhere in the world. This is not a maybe. This has been the premediated plan for a while now. You should search for the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document “Scenarios for the Future” where they said all that has happened already happened (e.g. the pLandemic). WW3 may eventually go nuclear war.

@Valrahaha Shunyata The West is bankrupt, decadent and produces nothing except maladaption, debt, and ideological suicide. Russia and China along with the developing world are friends (of mutual need forced together by the abhorrent West), have the demographics and low personal debts to drive the economic boom after the West destroys itself by intentionally fomenting WW3 and falls into the abyss. Your hubris is indicative of the societalcide gripping the West. Russia invaded to stop the slaughter (e.g. shooting rocket launched grenades aka RPGs into civilian homes in the Donbas) of the Russian speaking regions by Zelensky’s Nazi ASOV thugs. You consume too much lamestream media and your brain has ostensibly atrophied from a lack of research. Russia never had any intention of taking control of the Ukrainian speaking regions of Ukraine. You can argue the morals but it won’t change the fact that fomenting WW3 ultimately (after 2032) benefits everyone except the West. It will be our collective death knell. As for Crimea that was gifted to Ukraine by Khrushchev who was born in the Donbas. This was historically “Little Russia” and the Western oil companies were hatching a plan to subvert Russia’s energy control in the region so Putin had no choice for security reasons. The U.S. has done comparable coups and crap in Latin America (e.g. Monroe Doctrine) to protect its sphere of influence for security and other objectives.

@Vajrahaha Shunyata c.f. my prior reply. Ukraine has never been free. It was under the grip of Western meddling and installing puppet governments, which Russia had to counter attempting to do the same. Familiarize yourself with the concept of a power vacuum. Your hubris lacks holistic situational awareness and comprehension of geopolitical invariants. You’ve been hoodwinked by the MSM into your own self-immolation.

@Chad Zahir Shah Ukraine violated the 2014 agreement regarding granting elections in the Donbas. And Zelensky’s Nazi thugs were killing the Russian speaking civilians in the Donbas with RPGs and other heinous forms of ethnic cleansing. Also Ukraine joining NATO violates that Belgrade agreement. Kamala Harris said at the Munich conference on Feb 20 that Ukraine should be immediately admitte to NATO.

E.K.C. is positing a biannual, bearish engulfing candle, comparing to claims of the same in 1973 and 1929.

I refuted E.K.C.:

Technically 1973 and current were not bearish, engulfing biannual candles because the bearish candle did not open above the prior biannual, green candle. With that definition then only 1929 had a bearish, engulfing biannual candle. However someone else claims only the bearish candle body needs to longer than the prior green candle:

(Caution: Bitcoin Is About To Do Something For The FIRST TIME EVER)

Also note 1973 had a wick bull trap nearly up to the prior ATH in the next biannual candle (but nothing like that in 1929!), which is what I am expecting currently. Note that 2022 has some distinct differences from 1973 which bode for markets making a new ATH before the egregious recession crash later in 2023 to 2024.

(Why December 1973 Looks EXACTLY Like the Stock Market Today (With 2 BIG Exceptions))

They key difference between 1973 and 2022, is the Boomers were causing massive demand side inflationary pressure and unemployment because they were entering the work force and their prime earning years. Whereas our current price inflation is supply side driven, actually premeditated sabotage (cerveza sickness scam, forcing Putin to war, and sabotaging domestic oil production by the Bolsheviks and Neocons in control of our illegitimate government).

@Perri Madison EKC’s backtested, short-term statistical moves have helped me immensely when combined with Ron Walker’s technical analysis. I wish I could find a way to contact Ron Walker to make him aware of EKC’s channel. If so he would have anticipated this recent bounce as EKC was telling us to expect it. Walker has now posited we are in an Ending Diagonal pattern! Someone needs to teach Walker how to properly monetize his channel. His vlog is excellent but he is old school, apparently not even aware that Patreon exists. Perhaps EKC could help him?

@Eric Krown Crypto Make sure you all read my other comment at the top level questioning the validity of your claim of a biannual engulfing, bearish candle. After the incoming lower-low bottom markets are likely rocketing back up to new ATHs before the egregious crash to 1600 on the S&P in 2024.

@Eric Krown Crypto In the link I shared, Ron Walker is proposing to modify his posited Elliot Wave count. The posited Ending Diagonal supports my massive ANYONE CAN SPEND crash for crypto!

Comment:

Elaboration. Martin you really need to understand how Bitcoin is an entirely premeditated phenomenon by the elite who are enslaving us. Of course it was not created by some anonymous Japanese in his basement.

The possibility of the markets raising Treasury interest rates while the recession is ongoing in 2023 – 2024! Yikes that’s a death spiral. 2024 could get very fugly (f*cking ugly). Be prepared to find distressed asset sales, including even rural land in cash only markets. But more liquid assets will be sold first, such as gold and markets. (Long-term at least) Interest rates could even continue to go up while the Fed tries to reflate like that did in 2020. In other words, we are headed for a monetary crisis. And WW3 as a result (in addition to the crap the Bolsheviks and Neocons in control of the illegitimate U.S. government are doing to force destruction of supply chains and WW3).

You guys are not aware that this outcome was premeditated as is the rise of legacy Bitcoin as the new global reserve unit of account (not the current impostor that everyone erroneously thinks is the official Bitcoin). Rothschild announced this Phoenix on the cover of his Economist Magazine in 1988. Then they leaked the Bitcoin design in an obscure anonymous user group post in 1998. Then they publicly launched Bitcoin in 2008. Then Bitcoin hit mainstream awareness in 2018 with the $20k price. See the 10 year cycle? So 2028 should be the start of bona fide adoption of it as a global reserve asset.

The recent Supreme Court rulings on abortion and concealed carry gun rights seem to have been engineered on purpose by someone behind the curtain to foster more hate in U.S. politics right before the mid-term Congressional elections.

Lindsey Graham appears to be playing right along with burning Trump’s effigy while pretending to be praising him. And Trump doing it to himself as well, making you wonder if he’s just a complicit actor. After all Trump did create the Operation Warp Speed to murder people with ventillators for the pLandemic of flu tests. And Trump did sign the $billions of funding for corona virus vaccines in 2019. Did Trump forget that the Supreme Court justices he appointed totally failed him refusing to hear any cases on the stolen 2020 election.

Ergo the entire swamp is corrupt. There is no one in WA D.C. (not even the Supreme Court) that is not in the back pocket of the societalcide and kleptocracy. They want us to believe it is a just a kakistocracy (we wish!). All of it is premeditated.

@Vinland Russia has always had a security problem because of the easily traversed plains through Ukraine. It was only the mud that stopped Napoleon. They are also vulnerable from the East being invaded by the Mongols. So it is not surprising that Russia has to draw the line for NATO overstepping the implied agreements post WW2 to not encroach on Russia’s security buffer.

The cerveza sickness scam, the current fomenting of WW3, and the WEF’s Great Reset NWO plans of “you will own nothing in the West, have your debts forgiven, and be a happy 666 slave with CBDCs controlling all of your spending actions” is all the means by which the Davos elite expect to maintain their grip on power as the $quadrillion (if measured actuarial, including entitlements and derivatives) Western debt bubble goes through its Minsky Moment scorched earth economic collapse and global monetary reset with legacy protocol Bitcoin rising as 1988 Economist Magazines (i.e. Rothchild’s) Phoenix since in a multi-polar world after WW3 there will be no national currency suitable for trusting as a global reserve unit-of-account. This was exquisitely planned out with a 10 year cycle, 1988 the announcement, 1998 the obscure user group post leaking Bitcoin’s design, 2008 the actual public launch of Bitcoin, 2018 the $20k and public awareness and 2028 to be the adoption of legacy Bitcoin as the global monetary reserve currency. Note the current impostor Bitcoin which everyone erroneously thinks is the official Bitcoin will be destroyed soon along with all the altcoins.

1. i am living in the country i was born into and try my best to be a decent fellow human being for others in this society.

2. i do not care about the name or flag or such of the country i am living in and am able to call out the governments wrong doings. Not blinded by nationalism.

3. i don‘t care on which continent or country anyone else is living when we meet, and color of skin, religion, ideology does not matter as long as i don‘t have to listen to missionary statemets and being left alone from indoctrination with such ideoligies.

4. now, even if i see myself as „ideology free“, a live will still get shaped by experiences. Unfortunately i have experienced a lot of „bad“ things from Russian emigrants here and have now listened to Putins verbal threats against millions of people for 10+ years!

At the same time, i have experienced Europe as „calm“ when it came to these Russian threats and never heard something like russophobia bevore this war, but rathe „europhobia“ by Putin. People here where more upset with the American foreign policy and their interventions or invasions in the middle east. And yes, there where protest about these in all European cities multiple times! It is simply Russian propaganda, if they claim Europe allways supports the US! No way!

If you personaly think that this useless war will solve or improve anything, then be it! I am still convinced, Russia will suffer from this for generations and no, i don‘t feel malicious joy for that!”

@Vinland personal anecdotes don’t equate with the overarching reality of who is driving the geopolitics and for what aims. Your personal ethics can be admirable and your personal experiences with Russians may be indicative (although I also experienced extreme rudeness in Asia and also Latin America, so it seems to be a norm outside the West), but that doesn’t equate with a holistic understanding of geopolitical truths and invariants.

Note I would agree with you about the synagogues which even Jesus criticized in Matthew 6:5. But I would disagree if you intend to gain any understanding without the guiding wisdom of Jesus. He suffocated in the most agonizing form of death crucifixion for us so we might find our way to the wisdom yet I see most people throwing the baby out with the bathwater and not distinguishing Biblical wisdom from the corruptions of by for example Constantine who only adopted it (and created Catholicism) as the excuse to loot all the pagan and Christian temples of their gold and valuables. I would pay special attention to 1 Samuel 8 and
2 Timothy 3:1-5 as we are clearly in the last days.

@Paul Deck I am American actually descended from a key revolutionary war general Isaac Shelby. You have lost your way. You really have no clue as to what is really going on in the world. Who needs conventional war when Russia’s nuclear subs are surfacing off the coast of California. Russia has a 500 meter high, tidal wave nuclear torpedo which could turn the entirety of Florida into a nuclear wasteland for a thousand years. Russia likely has hypersonic tactical nuclear weapons, maybe even dirty bombs. Be careful what you wish for. Also China will step into the void and drag the U.S. into a war on the other side of the world, further straining U.S. resources. U.S. forces have never been tested by world power much less two world powers simultaneously. And they relied heavily on air support. Russia and China have been planning to mitigate those strengths. We will see what they have come up with. Also I think what you are failing to recognize is this will largely be an economic war and the West depends on Russia and China for vital resources such as rare earth metals, etc... Also it seems the point about your upcoming enslavement entirely flew over your head.

@stephen girling people who need to eat will take what they can get. Remember there was severe rationing during WW2. And the Bolsheviks and Neocons in control our illegitimate government are intentionally creating WW3 right now. First they forced Putin into a corner on Ukraine. Now they are have bribed Lithuania to block his resupply trains to the three sides, land locked Kaliningrad, forcing Putin to eventually take the Suwałki Gap, or Suwałki Corridor, which will be a direct invasion on a NATO member meaning the security obligations of the U.S. will be triggered and WW3 ensues. China will force the U.S. to fight on two fronts by taking or more likely blockading Taiwan. The U.S. then blockades all of China or perhaps all of the first island chain of SE Asia after China sinks one of our aircraft carriers near the Taiwan strait with their hypersonic missiles for which we have no defense. So massive shortages of everything, everywhere in the world. This is not a maybe. This has been the premediated plan for a while now. You should search for the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document “Scenarios for the Future” where they predicted all that has happened already happened (e.g. the pLandemic). WW3 may eventually go nuclear war.

tatistic was for the next few decades, not years. I don’t know if the statistic I quoted about U.S. housing supply sufficiency takes into account millions of illegal immigrants becoming permanently resident although they tend to live 10 or 12 per household or in shanties. DeSantis has formed a task force to put an end to flying in migrants in the middle of the night by the Bolsheviks running the U.S.A..

The immigrant demand for housing in the UK is not in rural areas. Eventually with UBI perhaps populations can spread out to cheaper areas outside of cities? But UBI will not be during the incoming 2024 markets implosion.

Areas where land is bought with cash not mortgages will see much less price drops than mortgaged real estate.

> “It will be interesting to see if cash-bought land will at least hold value (supposedly ~16%pa at the moment in the UK) as it's seen as a relative safe haven for investors.”

I don’t think anything the government can tax and steal will hold its value over this decade. Everyone abandoned the city of Rome (population plummeted from 1.3M to 30k).

Agenda 2030 is a definitive plan. Certainly they are not going to allow anyone to survive off the land in Western nations. In developing countries they may not be able to move the people off the rural farm land efficiently and I see prices continuing to accelerate there.

It is time to leave the West, but I know you do not want to face that reality. I am starting to face it, realizing that I can only have one foot in the USA and need to have the only one firmly in a plan B. You have no plan B. Not wise.

> “"Moving to Ireland - Differences Between Ireland and the UK"

Interesting you should point me towards this guy, I've been following him for a few months. Certainly the area where he's based is particularly scenic. Three years ago I would have taken relocating to Ireland seriously, but more recently, it's clear their govt is even more committed to Davos hell than we suffer in the UK. The Irish seem to have replaced their devotion to the Catholic church with "experts" and "scientists"; swapping one form of authoritarian paternalism for another. The people seem more susceptible to this form of control than elsewhere in the British Isles.

Catholicism ughh. All of Latin America seems to be gripped by it. I wrote:

“I read a Pew Research report (Changing Faiths: Latinos and the Transformation of American Religion, III. Religious Practices and Beliefs) which states that most Latin Americans are Catholic but that unlike Evangelicals Latinos, many of the Catholics don’t typically find time to actually read the Bible, nor do the Catholics typically take it as the literal word of God. Ostensibly according to the Pew Research that for many Catholic Latinas their faith is predominantly just a cultural tradition lacking a deep understanding of the Biblical wisdom. One blog pointed out: “Él que peca y reza, empata” (roughly “he who sins and prays, breaks even overall”) — which I think is nihilistic almost worthless attitude towards Christianity. Do you realize that crucifixion is the most agonizing form of death because Jesus slowly suffocated over days or weeks? Jesus suffered for us so we might be saved by the wisdom but more and more people have entirely lost any deep and sincere interest in the wisdom. For example how many of you could explain to me the importance of Matthew 6:5, Matthew 7, Matthew 19, 1 Samuel 8, etcetera?”

The uncertainty about outcomes is far too great to put all of one’s eggs in one basket and expect to come out of this global smash-up unscathed. The developing world isn’t laden with mortgage debt, has traditional family values, low property taxes, booming youthful demographics and massive future demand for real estate. The West is dying literally. In the West not only risk of plummeting real estate value with rising taxes, but confiscations, Civil Asset Forfeitures, etc.. You ever involved with Bitcoin? Okay justification for seizing all your assets the same as they can seize your home if any suspicion (not proof needed) of any criminal activity conducted from out of your home. Armstrong explained that the asset committed the crime, not you, thus they do not need any proof. This originates from the UK (deoland) so expect it to return there also. I am not asserting with any certitude this outcome will affect most or even some of us. I am just pointing out the risk of complete, unlucky wipeout having all one’s eggs in one basket. How many of you expected and predicted $13k Bitcoin in summer 2021 as I did publicly on my Trading view? Black swans are becoming more frequent now as the end nears for Western civilization as we knew it.

I am interested to at least check out Piura, Peru and that may be a prerequisite stopover for us anyway. I am leaning towards Baja Sur as the better option because I can drive to the U.S., in case Bill Gates’ eugenics and 666 enslavement WHO vaccine passports ever becomes a limitation on flying. Petty crime is overt against including foreigners in Peru (e.g. hold ups anywhere even smashing taxi window) whereas typically not in Baja except a few cases of home break-ins by petty criminals against frail elderly.

Note the Biden administration is encouraging all these hoodlums to waltz into the U.S.A., so might be the plan of the Davos elite to Latin Americanize the U.S. and make it just as dangerous but they will need to get rid of gun rights to fully accomplish it.

@Vinland is (an example of why) why I think an attempt to inform people is probably futile and a waste of time and effort that could probably be more fruitfully applied to other endeavors.

Take a moment to listen for 100 seconds from the linked 44 second mark in the following video:

(‘The Five’ talks the rising red wave in America)

Jesse’s description of the way voters are only focused on the parochial issues in front of their nose and move together as nearly mindless sheep, should be instructive as to the likelihood of an enlightenment wave sweeping across the populace due to some censorship-free forum for reeducation. Forced indoctrination only works if you control the mass media and know the trigger points and how you can move the herd in a particular direction of thought and action.

There will be no saving Western civilization from its self-immolation destiny. Don’t try to teach the sheepeople anything. Focus on how you will navigate the collective insanity.

Click to the see the film postor/billboard for DUMB and DUMBER:

“The West has forced Russia into its first foreign debt default since 1918. You really have to wonder exactly how our world leaders rationalize their reasoning.

While our politicians cheer forcing Russia into default, these morons only look at stopping Russia from borrowing. They have relieved it of debt servicing and that means the losers are Western institutions which are primarily pension funds because they got a better rate in the face of deplorable rates in the West. This will create more of a financial crisis in the West and these funds will then turn to their respective governments for compensation since they caused the default.

The Federal Reserve is pushing rates higher as I warned because they are blamed for inflation. It does not matter that it will fail and created more inflation and spur the emerging market sovereign default. That is the ONLY tool they have under Keynesian Economics.

My bet is when the history books are written of this period, they will classify our world leaders as the worse possible gathering of incompetent people who are leading the world DELIBERATELY into World War III. I thank God I am not 18 years old. I get to leave this insane world that is now just simply nuts. I had one reader comment that they must be too old because they do not even understand all these labels like a non-binary person.

I think it is time for a singular label – Hey you! Historically, the more labels you create, the greater the division, and the faster civilization crumbles to dust. That’s what 2032 is all about.”

> “It will be interesting to see if cash-bought land will at least hold value (supposedly ~16%pa at the moment in the UK) as it's seen as a relative safe haven for investors.”

I don’t think anything the government can tax and steal will hold its value over this decade. Everyone abandoned the city of Rome (population plummeted from 1.3M to 30k). At best hope to be able to keep your Western-based land and home, but expect it to bleed value because it’s movable and thus a sitting duck for the government to tax. As taxes rise to compensate for declining local government revenues, real estate values should decline in relative terms (although maybe not nominally depending on if the central banks are expanding the money supply).

Thus attempt to the put the minimum possible investment in Western real estate. Invest in developing world real estate, legacy Bitcoin (and possibly as a long shot my altcoin if it comes to fruition and meets goals 😉). Invest in Internet businesses, trying to find the next Amazon.com that spawns from the current blockchain wave (again who knows I might surprise everyone still).

Agenda 2030 is a definitive plan. Certainly they are not going to allow anyone to survive off the land in Western nations. In developing countries they may not be able to move the people off the rural farm land efficiently and I see prices continuing to accelerate there.

It is time to leave the West, but I know you do not want to face that reality. I am starting to face it, realizing that I can only have one foot in the USA and need to have the other one firmly in a plan B.

Even rural land in Arizona is not priced less than rural land in Baja Sur or Peru. I thought it might be to compensate for higher property taxes and permitting costs, but apparently it’s all demand driven. In the rural most, arid areas of Baja Sur and Piura, Peru apparently the upscale (e.g. expat and tourism) demand is low thus competing only against the non-wealthy Mexicans for that land. Whereas in expat, tourist or urban areas of the developing countries then the demand is very high and land prices more expensive than Arizona. Note the more temperate climate of for example Guerro Negro nearer to the Pacific ocean is in much higher demand and thus comparable or more expensive than Arizona.

I’m very impressed though with the climate in Cochise County, AZ so I probably want to grab some land here and an owner build permit assuming it fits into my budget. I notice many price cuts on raw land in Cochise County right now on Zillow presumably because this is low season for tourists and perhaps also because of the near recession and high interest rates dampening demand for housing.

> “While I'm open to change my mind given new information, at the moment I'm of the opinion that each and every country will be met with numerous restrictions, clampdowns on freedoms etc etc. Not in a synchronised manner, no, but probably over the space of a few years. I'm less inclined to believe there will be anywhere to hide, unless living out in the wilds somewhere. We also don't know the speed at which this wave will hit us; how the New Normal agenda will metastasise throughout the globe.”

I provided an example and explanation of why that can’t be the case in every facet in the second voice message I posted.

Some percent of the Western youth are insane and have lost all the values that hold society together. This is the opposite of the developing nations which still predominantly maintain traditional family values — there’s some insane Millennials in for example Mexico that for example have studied abroad on scholarships but they are insignificant in number. For example, respect and extra courtesy for elders. Aggrieve/maltreat an elderly person in Latin America or Asia and everyone will be very angry at you. Whereas, increasingly in the West, it is politically correct to not offer any preferential treatment based on age.

Mexico is apparently the only nation on Earth that never had any requirement for COVID testing or vaccines for entry. So that is an example that the Davos elite did not achieve ubiquity of their diabolical edicts. I was told by husband and wife (engineer and mathematician both with Masters degrees) hosts of my AirBnB in Ensenada that most educated people in Mexico City are rebellious and will flout any government edicts they disagree with. They voted for the current President AMLO who is a devout Christian and was adamant against COVID restrictions. The Brazilian President fought hard against the COVID restrictions and was only overruled by the complicit Supreme Court at the end of 2021.

You presumably lack experience with how the developing world operates. Yes Mexico officially embraced all the WHO edicts and they will officially embrace the 666-like CBDCs, but what they say and what they actually do are two different things. Rule of law is bent as needed for making money. Unlike in the West, where everyone will adhere to the corrupt edicts and you won’t be able to find anyone to buy your gold, Mexico there will always be a way to turn your gold into whatever you need.

The West is dying. The developing world will rise. The financial center of the world is shifting from the West to the East. Armstrong predicted back in 1979 this outcome for 2032:

Armstrong is correct in that the Davos elite (aka the Great Resetters of the WEF, Bill Gates, Soros at al) will not succeed entirely. They will probably succeed officially to some degree, but it will take some decade(s) to transition the developing world entirely to the insanity of the West. Eventually the world will be entirely enslaved but probably not in my lifetime (unless I live to perhaps 80+).

Also the entire Reset agenda is to cover-up for the economic collapse that can’t be kicked down the road any more. So the most diabolical facets of the Reset applies most fervently to the nations which are actuarially, culturally and politically bankrupt, i.e. the West. Asian societies are traditionally authoritarian, but even our Filipino group members have stated you can just write yourself a fake vaccine card in the Philippines (the locals think nothing of the risk, unlike we foreigners would fear being thrown in rat-infested, overcrowded Bicutan Detention Center).

Thus our number 1 threat is the West because it will cannibalize itself.

Do not forget my long-standing point about financial surrogates, which will be trivially easy to source in Mexico but probably nearly impossible in the West when an anti-surrogacy law is enacted criminalizing the activity. In the Mexico there will be plenty of people who middle finger any such law if they need money and can earn money.

Unlike the West, the developing countries can not afford and will not be offering UBI to bribe the population to adhere to the edicts. I am surprised you hadn’t realized this, as you are normally very astute. The Philippines attempted to offer stipends and they couldn’t even distribute it and it was wholly insufficient in any case.

> “I try not to hope for anything, or abandon hope. I suppose in the last two and a half years there is a degree of acclimatisation to "life during wartime"; though I'm not saying I've come to accept it in any way. Things are much clearer to understand now than they were; we really know the direction of travel. I think I've also been able to reclaim a little of what was normal, to obtain a little balance, though hopefully without complacency. I for one need to retain some humour in my life (even though it might stray towards the gallows variety at times!), and to reconnect with creative interests, as life has been too stark without them. On the surface, indulging in these might seem a little trivial given the circumstances, but they provide some sense of renewal and positivity, if that doesn't sound too flaky.”

I was preparing to write some points about that before I even read that.

We must be cognizant of our tendency to become numb, complacent, coddled by some relaxation of the COVID enslavement w.r.t. to our analyses.

We know from the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation “Scenarios for the Future” document that they plan to hit us with multiple diabolical schemes in waves. The next phase of the diabolical Great Reset involving world war is on tap. From that comes the economic dislocation and unraveling of the West, which will feed into the plans for UBI and leftist overthrow with the support of the insane youth.

The West and developing world will not have the same outcome. As the Rockefeller Foundation document told us, the developing world will not have open arms for accepting additional indigents as they will be bogged down with poverty. From that we also know they will not be bribing their masses to adhere to some insane Agenda 2030 edicts that say they can’t have a garden. The Agenda 2030 crap in Mexico will presumably initially take hold in the high-priced, expat tourist districts.

I URGE YOU TO REEVALUATE. YOUR MODEL IS INCORRECT.

Your cognitive bias is likely driven by the fact that relocating out of the UK is not something you and your wife are willing to do. Thus it helps you to believe that there is no better option than right where you are. But this doesn’t seem to be factually supported.

Bank robbers rob banks because that’s where the money is. The Westerners have the (debt inflated, fake) wealth thus that is where the large-scale stealing (e.g. taxation, confiscation, unexplained wealth orders, Civil Asset Forfeiture, Deodand, etc) will occur.

The developing world has no wealthy middle class to cannibalize. And much less debt-inflated, fake wealth that has to be cannibalized in a Minsky Moment collapse (which historically enables the leftists to step into the power vacuum and drive it, e.g. Wiemar Germany, collapse of Rome, etc). Whereas the threat in the developing world is from the common criminals (although less so in some enclaves in SE Asia which have good law & order).

The Agenda 2030 plan will be much less likely to be fully enforceable in the developing world because the masses are poor and thus telling them they can’t supplement their food supply would cause riots, and because the developing nations will not be able to afford to handout UBI to bribe their populace to follow the diabolical edicts that the Davos elite have planned for enslaving the Westerners. I would GTFO of the Western nations.

Instead, they took down Peter Navarro in public, as you would a fugitive terror mastermind so everyone could see it and learn the lesson they were sending. They handcuffed Peter Navarro. They put him in leg irons, and then they threw him in a cell. He's now facing years in prison. So, what did Peter Navarro do to deserve treatment like this? Well, he resisted a subpoena from the January 6 committee. The January 6 committee is Washington's latest partisan inquisition. It's run by Nancy Pelosi with help from obedient little quislings like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Navarro resisted that subpoena because he had nothing to do with January 6, nothing whatsoever. That's not disputed. Peter Navarro did not break into the Capitol. He didn't encourage anyone else to break into the Capitol. He wasn't even there that day. He had no idea it was going to happen. Again, that's beyond dispute and Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney know that.

This is not the way civilized countries operate. Just because you control the White House and both houses of Congress, does not mean you get to throw your political opponents behind bars. That's not what we do in America. That's what they do in Haiti, but that's what we're doing now and Peter Navarro was not the first. Biden's Justice Department also arrested former Trump adviser Steve Bannon for a similar fake crime. Steve Bannon is awaiting trial this summer.

So, this is not something we've seen before. It's a huge step toward the politics of the Third World, but the media whose job you thought of was to push back against power are not. They are, in fact, applauding because it turns out no punishment is too severe for those who disagree with the national news media. Watch them gloat.

Shelby Moore, {6/30/22 6:54 AM}
Fmr. Atty General Bill (William) Barr’s narrative Trump lost the election because he mismanaged COVID and didn’t set up a legal trust fund to fight against the rule changes for the elections. Yet Barr lies about several issues such as stating that capitol was a riot breaking into the Capitol when in fact there is video of Capitol police opening the doors for an orderly queue:

Barr is well spoken. And he makes some good points such as (1:12:00) supporting States rights as the release valve to the insanity that the Federal government has become.

Bill Barr appears to be putting on a show. He appears to be complicit. Why hasn’t anyone asked him why he covered up Jeffery Epstein’s murder?

(click this for irregularities in Epstein’s alleged suicide)

Contrast Bill Barr’s characterization of the findings of the 2000 Mules movie, wherein he says that the routes detected from the data could have been contractor trucks, “100s of cell phones will pass by 5 ballot drop boxes or whatever it was. One contractor said one of our truck’s regular route alone would account for six cell phone signals”:

With the actual findings from the movie:

“Gregg Phillips of True the Vote says that in Atlanta, the group identified 242 ‘mules’ who went to an average of 24 drop boxes and made an average of eight stops at one of the nonprofits during a two-week period. The group says it proves “coordinated, systematic fraud in all key states where the election was decided” and that the number of alleged illegal votes was enough to swing the 2020 presidential election in Biden’s favor”

Note in the aforelinked video these people conveniently fail to mention that the voting counting late in the night in Georgia that they claim is not anomalous was done without the Republican watchers present. There was some bogus scare about a exploded water pipe they used to evacuate our observers and then carried on in the middle of the night with their own complicit ‘observers’ to replace ours so that we had no oversight. And yet our Barr et al, claim this was not fraudulent!!!!

“ ‘2000 mules’ is an investigation of the everyday routine ordinary fraud that preceded the 2020 election. It does not look at the extraordinary and hastily executed fraud that was performed in the early hours of the morning, when they hastily shut down the counting places, then reopened them at three AM with truckloads of freshly printed Biden Ballots, that, being centrally printed, failed to fill out the down ballot candidates.

Everyone has known for decades about the everyday routine fraud, and in this sense nothing new to see.

But what is new is that they gathered petabytes of computer data on the everyday routine fraud, allowing them to make plausible lower bound guesses on that fraud. It is, at the lower bound, still enormous. Honest elections would produce a wildly different political leadership.”

{…}

“Another thing that is new is that it documents Republican refusal to do anything about fraud, that everyone in every state at every level of authority, turns a blind eye, absolutely regardless of party affiliation. All the ballot boxes in every state investigated had official video cameras watching every ballot box, and all of the many thousands of incidents of ballot box stuffing were officially recorded on official video in each and every state, and officially ignored in each and every state. That, I did not know.”

Comment:

My prior comments about the demise of the West are not a suggestion to uproot one’s life unless this presents a great opportunity (e.g. for a young person with work opportunities in the developing country destination and the prospect of a better lifestyle). My situation is different in that although I am 57 years old, because I’m already uprooted and trying to become astutely rooted with significant flexibility on my options.

I am suggesting that in case one’s rooted situation becomes unbearable, it is ideal if one can have a plan B option already waiting in the wings ready to “fly” at a moment’s notice. I am lucky because I can simply drive across the southern U.S. border to (Baja California) Mexico while living in the U.S. Southwest (e.g. AZ or TX) or vice versa. For someone who is rooted in the UK they have no option to drive to a developing country for a plan B option. For example, what if some crypto exchange access (e.g. Binance or ByBit) or ability to cash in/out without onerous PoSoFs blocking, becomes blocked contingent on an Internet account in a non-developed country (and note these exchanges have figured out how to detect VPNs). How would someone stuck in the UK quickly access a developing country if there were vaccine requirements to fly and they refused to take the jabs? The UK feels to me like an all-in commitment to only a dubious plan A, especially if for the anti-vaxxers and anti-Resetters. Clearly Europe is going to be much worse than the U.S., which again will be much worse than Latin America and developing nations in Asia. Anyone who does not understand why can ask me to explain it again. For example Putin will not be rolling his tanks into the U.S.. And the U.S. is likely to reelect a Trump or DeSantis as POTUS in 2024, but the EU and the UK have long since lost any semblance of actual democracy. The Old World Western Empires are much further along to the incoming Dark Age than the U.S. is.

There is probably no future whatsoever in Europe and I realize the UK is not Europe exactly but close enough (ostensibly Scotland and Ireland practically joined the EU after BRExit) and much more decadent than it’s offspring Empire the U.S.A..

I am reminded of the seminal essay Martin Armstrong wrote while still held in prison for the illegal contempt-of-court.

(Is it Time to Turn Out the Lights?)

Europe is turning out the lights in every facet of their society. I even had a Latina tell me they do not want to date Italians because they are so stingy that they prefer to be single than have any responsibilities like wife and kids.

It’s over. Just turn out the lights and go to sleep if you want to stay in Western Europe.

I don’t expect much to survive in Western Europe, not real estate, not employment. There is some probability that one is able to navigate the outcome and eek out a reasonable life. Some people will, as not everyone will die. But if Deagel.com’s prediction comes to fruition, more than 50% will die and/or emigrate this decade presumably from suidcides, starvation, war, political persecution and pestilence.

When the Waterfall turn to the abyss starts it will be too late to react. The time to sell BTC was in 2021 and last chance ~$32k. Once the waterfall collapse ensued the complacent and hopium hodlers were REKTD. Ditto the complacent and hopium hodlers of Western civilization will be REKTD. Mark my word on this day June 30, 2022.

Note if you must stay in W. Europe, perhaps consider Portugal or rural Spain instead. At least from there you have more reasonable yacht access to Africa or the Middle East.

Again there may be those who successfully eek it out in the UK, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, etc. I am just a person who does not like to be trapped into going all-in to one option with no plan B. If outcomes go awry in ways I didn’t anticipate, then it is better to have another option that might have significantly different situation to choose from at that future date.

The U.S. has States rights and gun rights and other forms of opt-out not just stuck to the outcome of the charade of national democazy. We are a unique country in the world that way. So I can bet on a State (against the insanity of the national democrazy) while also having a plan B perhaps in Mexico.

IN SHORT: Diversification is the only strategy when one does not have conviction about the outcome.

@PJE Trump Derangement Syndrome has you chasing your shadow. I am not racist. Cripes I am a white guy married to a person of color.

@PJE I am sorry you are handicapped by possessing such a low IQ. ‘China flu’ is an attempt to blame the flu on an alleged origin, i.e. a place not a race. Stating factually that criminals elements to the south are leaking across our border, has nothing to do with race. Also you conflate nationality with race. Your verbal diarrhea about Rittenhouse is stupendously ignorant of the facts and the respectful, ethical, volunteeristic, civic-minded, and legally vindicated person that Kyle is — certainly not a racist.

The West is doomed. Even if for example certain States try to be enclaves of sanity (e.g. Florida, but DeSantis clarified that the bill they passed to stop teaching kids sexual orientation only prevents it to grade 3!), the problem is the societalcide is in control of the monetary and fiscal system, so they’re in the process of destroying the fabric of society by making it uneconomical to hold a normal job. Who wants to be a policeman, fireman or whatever when your wages are being eroded like in Venezuela. The inflation rate is not 8.6%. More like 15 – 20% or more.

> “@S. Moore handing money out thats already in circulation does not drive inflation, printing money drives inflation.”

@StuntmanDAN your simplistic quantity theory of money is not a complete model. Firstly poorer people spend everything they get whereas rich people save it. Thus handing out money to poor people exacerbates demand thus price inflation more than QE which instead ends up mostly in the hands of the wealthy. Secondly, the source of the tax surplus in CA is probably the Feds, which was financed with money printing. Thirdly taking money from the wealthy via excessive taxation (to create tax surplus) and giving it to the poor will drive price inflation for the reason I already mentioned.

I know you are made ignorant by western censorship, but in the last 8 years when America has been training Ukrainian forcse to attack Russians in the Donbas, they were also busy destabilising neighbouring countries to Russia.
The US spent at lot less than they did in the Ukraine to destroy democracy(5 billion dollars)and so they caused unrest in Armenia Aserbaijan and Kazakhstan, but Russia had agreements with Kazakhs and prevented revolution. Turkey has interests with Azerbaijan and blocked a border. In short Russia was a peace keeper in that dispute. BUT the people that are always threatening are NOT the Russioasns, most conflicts can be placeed fairly and squarely at either the UK or the USA's door.

This marks the end of globalism. Xi’s recentralization of China is preemptive to prepare for the sacrifice of crossing the chasm to China’s boom after WW3. The alternative in China is chaos which historically devolves to devastation. While the West will devolve to the democrazy of idiots voting, China will prevent idiots from having any voice at the cost of retardation of innovation and productivity growth that requires (otherwise spawns from) economic decentralization.

I am thinking the best place to be will be outside both the West and East Asia. Really Latin America may end up being the most freedom and decentralized economic growth that will exist on earth. South Asia and Africa probably the other good option.

Comment:

Mom, real quick … I am acknowledging that I did search to confirm the reasons I thought that possibly demand for housing in Bellingham might outstrip supply even in a severe recession — WWU and Canadians. However note this article points out that prices still haven’t returned to their pre-2008 recession levels. So expect prices to fall significantly in Bellingham during the coming Second Great Recession unless the Fed steps in quickly to reflate in 2023 and let’s inflation run crazy which would cause interest rates to go up like crazy which would still crash the prices of houses.

You can thank your good ole boy Brandon (actually the unelected Bolsheviks and Neocons pulling his strings) for INTENTIONALLY MANUFACTURING this inflation. I can prove that beyond any doubt. I agreed not to send you more details. So to the extent you suffer from this (either selling sooner than you wanted to, or possibly hodling too long and losing significant equity), it is a self-inflicted wound. No worries I have a grand history of self-inflicted damage, but at least not from politics. At least my mistakes were actual life decisions, not some inane ideological masturbation.

Your home is in a great location and an affordable home. I see home prices in Blaine are up the most, which you may remember is the place I chose as the best to live with Joy in 2004 in the trailer (preferred it to the at that time more urbanized Bellingham):

Attempts are being made though to spread nonsense about chickens, ducks etc being vectors for zoonotic transfer to humans of numerous "viruses" - mostly exaggerated or completely fabricated claims.”

Western commercial farmers will relent as you say. The attrition is likely to rather pointed, not dragged out for decades. Small scale Western gardeners may eventually have their homes confiscated. You are playing with fire amigo. The West is in a leftist holiness spiral. I have become more aware of the acceleration lately. The problem is precisely that those who are sane are stuck in normalcy bias thus not taking the extreme actions they need to take, yourself included to some extent. All of us love normalcy.

It behooves you to be more in awe of the exponential function. On the 29th week the Lily pond is only half covered and on the 30th fully. When the shitshow goes into Waterfall acceleration you will not have any time to even think.

Humans seem incapable of understanding civilization collapse. Perhaps read some books about the accelerated waterfall collapse of Rome? I think within a decade or so everyone left the city. Now imagine the city of Rome is analogous in contemporary times to the Western nations.

None of us know when that waterfall collapse is triggered exactly. Would it be 10 years from now? Maybe. 50 years? Possibly, especially for the U.S., not W. Europe.

To allow for the timing variable, I want a more normalcy oriented plan A and also a EOTWAWKI plan B.

> “My choice is to strongly oppose what might seem to be the inevitable, hopefully with significant numbers of likeminded resistance. I realise you think this is pretty much hopeless and doomed to failure and probable death. I have no illusions regarding the risks and possible fate in store. It could be we're nuked, or attempts to starve us to death - who knows. Please don't interpret that as a death wish, or as giving up.”

If the probability is very high that choice will be much less pleasant than the alternatives, I choose the plan that seems more sensible and has a better chance of making me prosperous and happy.

What kind of person chooses to stay mired in a clusterfuck? I have never understood why people with prior knowledge of a likely outcome choose to torpedo themselves. Maybe you can explain it better to me?

I presume you will not be fighting, just trying to cope as a slave if my plan B option becomes needed. I guess your mischaracterization of the likely outcome as if trying to spin it as having some noble or virtuous component is what bothers me. What is virtuous about supporting the clusterfuck by staying in it and offering up all your productivity, time and effort to it?

The best way to accelerate the death of a clusterfuck is to withhold resources from it, not serve up yourself to be harvested.

This point is taken out of the holistic analyses of options and tradeoffs though. But you are not writing about that. You are claiming futile masochism is virtuous at least when viewed through the lens of my expectations on the likely outcome (which is only the plan B in my preparations).

Have you not yet rationalized the likelihood that eventually (ultimate outcome) there will not be any credible resistance? Somehow it seems your fundamental assumptions are very different than mine?

It is not the possible death I am worried about. Rather it is how I would be feeding the clusterfuck in the interim (even if by expending extra effort prepping that I might not need to do if I just leave for the plan B when needed).

I don’t hang around with insane people and insane society/civilization. I leave the decadent and go join those who have a future.

Now if my assumptions are very far off from the reality then my choices based on those assumptions will be not well reasoned. Yet I have said I will keep one foot in the normalcy oriented plan A.

So it seems you would need to counter point my assumptions? Or explain to me why masochism and slavery is virtuous?

Now if you argued you can’t afford a plan B, I empathize and it is unfortunate not virtuous. There is nothing virtuous about being stuck in a plan A if our worst fears accelerate.

If there was going to be serious resistance, we would have already stopped the leftists. The sane people are too complacent and too much married to normalcy bias to actually do the extreme actions soon enough to actually succeed.

That is not to say that I might not still try to develop software to help educate and provide alternatives. But I am becoming more sober with my expectations.

Comment:

> “We know the potential risks and we are choosing to stand our ground, rather than run - perhaps forever, and with quickly depleting funds in a foreign country and culture with few if any contacts.”

There is no such thing as stationary existence. Existence is about attempt to stay ahead of the trend to maximum entropy/disorder — that everything returns to dust eventually.

If you know that you are doomed with that boxed in situation, you could decide might as well take some risks. For example, you could risk 0.1 BTC with leverage in an attempt to become wealthy enough to retire any where in the world. If you are stopped out and lose it, it is not like you really lost anything ultimately — we all going back to dust soon.

It is not like there are no other options. It is as if you choose to not have any other options. I guess I do not understand Earth signs at all. Water keeps moving and probing for fruitful downhill terrain. Earth signs seem to convince themselves they have no options.

Life is a risk. There is no such thing as a risk-free existence.

The astute look at the probabilities and if there is 99% chance of failure by not taking any risks, that is taking a huge risk. Better to take the 50% chance of flipping a coin.

I am not trying to say what you should do, because I do not know what is best for you and that is an entirely other complex discussion (some of which we already discussed). I am just reacting to the “logic” presented on its face value out-of-context of whatever might be the best, complex analysis of your situation.

Comment:

> “Neither of us with our contrasting approaches can be certain of relative success. We each know what type of personalities we are, weigh up the pros and cons and give it our best shot, aware of the possible pitfalls. I'm not afraid to examine very dark possibilities ahead, of what people are capable of at extremes. But also I'm aware of the untapped resources others can have at similar extremes. It's a spiritual battle ahead in which we will each discover who we really are, compared to who we might think we are.”

Spiritual battle sounds like a mumbo-jumbo excuse to believe in stationary existence? Or it’s orthogonal to the point of having a plan A and B, not just a plan A.

Of course we are always adapting if that’s what you mean by spiritual accretion. And one way I am adapting and learning more is by not being insular stuck to only a normalcy, familiarity-bias oriented plan A.

If by spirituality you mean that the society around you and your role in it will find some salvation, I think that is BS. We live in cycles in and we know what happens in decadent cycles. That is why we study history. Nothing really changes. Humans periodically megadeath themselves. It is a repeating cycle.

Indeed your personality type is impossible for me to put myself in. No way I would be so intransigent to the point of locking myself into being a deer in the headlights. I like having multiple options.

As for specific pros and cons, yes maybe after a complex analysis one would arrive at the conclusion that you have no options because of your personalities. I have no contacts in Mexico. Never stopped me from going.

I could end up with a worse outcome possibly. Such as if the security situation in Latin America snags me, although that is why I have two options in case Mexico is not working out. But the general thesis of having multiple options is one that 160 IQ Catherine Austin Fitts recommended.

> “I believe we are living through the apogee of the mechanistic mindset, ranging from approximately Socrates, through the Enlightenment, towards this hubristic ambition of the would-be technocratic elite to completely divorce themselves from Nature, placing themselves as would-be gods who must assert their perceived superiority by replacing everything natural with the artificial. While the Enlightenment shone a bright light into the shadows of superstition and ignorance, reliance solely on measurement, logic and the tangible is not a reflection of the whole. We have gone from one extreme to another. "There is more in Heaven and Earth..." Love cannot be measured in a lab; it would be absurd to assume that all it amounted to was a change in brain chemistry, hormones etc. But the New Eugenicists would have us believe we are simply biological robots, very predictable and hackable, that any notion of spirit or soul is laughable, and any such archaic notion should be removed at birth - which is probably one hoped for function of the experimental injections. So, there is a practical path each of us could take right now, or an intuitive one.”

Astute. Agreed. I have made those points also.

But that is orthogonal to survival and prosperity interim. And I doubt very much that humanity en masse is on the verge of crossing the chasm to Jesus. Eventually Jesus returns but not until after the Tribulations and gigadeath.

Realize that all these Davos elite are playing their roles exactly as the Biblical Revelation predicts:

(The First Jar—Painful Sores Then I heard a loud voice coming from the house of God. The voice said to the seven…)

Aforelinked blog was written before I realized COVID was just a fabricated lie, but Bill Gates is vying to make billions sick with an eventually fully mandated vaccine regimen. I read the CDC now recommends 72 vaccines before someone is adolescent

Comment:

Let me summarize.

Indeed the ultimate outcome will be end game in Revelation but we do not know if our death and salvation with Jesus is imminent.

So in the interim having practical, real world plan A and B is wise, as not everything may be resolved spiritually for decades or centuries. We can not know the timing.

Comment:

Seems to me that you have perhaps to some degree conflated the collapse of Western civilization with globohomo. I believe the developing world probably has at least an entire generation to go before it fully synchronizes with the Western societalcide. There will be some synchronization but I think also some defection/differentiation. Anyway, I believe my best chance for some differentiation is both outside the West and enclaves (as opposed to enslaves) within the West such as DeSantis in Florida to some extent (although I pointed out that he only got the sexual orientation indoctrination removed from schools for K – 3rd grade, not K – 12).

Steak (beef) in Mexico is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the equivalent here in the U.S.A. and the the beef here has much less taste. Decent beef is $22 per kilo now in the U.S.A.. (in Philippines pesos that is P1100) Maybe the Mexican beef is more grass fed?

I bought the cheapest steak I could find priced $14 per kilo and its very tough and difficult to chew. For $7 to $9 a kilo in Mexico I was getting tender and succulent beef. The ribeye in Mexico was ~$12 to $14 per kilo. It is $27 in the U.S..

It is ridiculous the cost of the food in the U.S.A. now. Romain lettuce (same size and quality) is $0.75 in Mexico and $1.80 here in the U.S.. I already told you that fuel is 20% less in Mexico (or 35% less than California fuel). Home rentals In Mexico are roughly half the price for the same quality.

A liter of all natural (no sugar added, whole milk fat) yogurt in Mexico is $1.60. In the USA I can only find an upscale brand that has no sugar and is not the non-fat insanity that Americans are pursuing, costs $6 for same size.

My sense in walking around in the large format stores (including grocery) is that Americans aren’t really aware of the gravity of what is being perpetrated against them and the dire threats to their well being on the horizon.

In the USA I can only find an upscale brand that has no sugar and is not the non-fat insanity that Americans are pursuing, costs $5.60 for same size. Also it was out of stock even though the website said it was in stock, so a wasted trip and fuel. In Mexico the yogurt I cited is always in stock. Granted the Mexico version isn’t the very thick consistency Greek style (which is excellent btw and not available in Mexico). Upscale items (e.g. also that canned sockeye, wild caught salmon I mentioned) are not available in Mexico.

There is $4 but it starts from non-fat milk and cream added back in. Sounds like a lot of processing of a formerly natural food:

I solved this yogurt price issue by buying sour cream instead which is priced equivalent to as in Mexico.

I doubt those food prices differentials are solely attributable to increased wages in the U.S.. It is most likely government making everything more expensive than it needs to be.

Additionally the food in the U.S.A. spikes my bad omega-6 level, which I can tell because I immediately have inflammation all over my body. High omega-6 is due to the crap they feed the cows instead of grass, and the grotesque, Frankenstein processing of milk which converts it from food into a toxin (source: realmilk.com). Our milk used to be delivered raw in glass jars on our doorstep (milk trucks) and nobody got sick. Industry and government has conspired to maximize profits and shelf life and with the medical industry to intentionally make us sick so as to maximize profits.

Confirmed:

So why in the heck are beef prices so much higher in some countries? It’s not the labor costs which are 10% of the cost. That is the first statistic I have seen which the UK for example puts the USA to shame. I keep raving about how I think the USA will be a better option than Europe, but UK beef costs 56% less.

Okay I found the reason!

(Despite high demand for beef, it's a tough time to be a Texas cattle rancher. Here's why many are reducing herds.)

I also read this in the article from Arizona. The pLandemic enabled consolidation of the meat packing industry who have now cornered the market, limiting supply and taking all the profits from the providers of beef, thus causing the providers to cull their herds!

The U.S.A. — once formerly the land of the free, brave and free markets — is now well on its way to monopolies and fascism in multiple industries, e.g. even Big Tech has cornered the Internet market. Amazon.com (and to a less extent Walmart.com) has cornered the market for online sales. Remember many meat packers were forced to shut down during the pLandemic so many of them presumably had to sell their operations.

Also high heat and drought. Mexico’s superior climate is a significant factor. With the Maunder Minimum on tap for 2030 to 2050, expect this to worsen which yet another reason to leave for Mexico.

My detailed reply:

@grepcat, July 4 updates on this published idea and my published idea Bitcoin bottom to be or not to be? in conjunction with those cited ideas published by math prodigy @otwa2113, corroborate that what’s going on with Bitcoin thus has implications for all risk-on market sectors.

Properly and fully grokking Bitcoin, its game theory, Nash equilibrium and economics — and especially why legacy protocol Bitcoin must rise to be the next world reserve currency and how it will rise by destroying the posited impostor Bitcoin Core (which is actually only an altcoin analogous and equivalent to Litecoin or any other proof-of-work piece-of-sh8t that integrated the scammer concept of Lightning Networks and SegWit) — is important to understanding all investment going forward.

The world is radically changing. I suggest you read all the updates on my published idea "Official" (impostor) Bitcoin Core to Drop to $0 in 2023? as I’m explaining in detail the unraveling of the world’s global financial and geo-political system (i.e. the post Bretton Woods order) and the monetary and political reset to a multi-polar world 666 enslaved by Bitcoin per the model in John Nash’s Ideal Money (Jstor) proposal. John Nash explained how an ideal unit-of-account would discipline and enslave the profligate nation-states. In my aforelinked published idea, I explain why human nature, civilization, and political power vacuums can never create a nation-state which is not dysfunctional. Do you really think that Rothschild’s 200 IQ secret team launched Bitcoin (pretending to unrealistically be some lone Japanese who created Bitcoin “in his mother’s basement”, lol…and I hope you read where I am explained that Satoshi Nakamoto = I am Nash) because it will remain decentralized forever? Of course as biblical Revelation predicts all the wealth will become concentrated on the seven hills surrounding Rome and/or Jerusalem and of course if the elitemost (Rothschild?) of the Davos elite (i.e. the old world money hiding behind the curtain of the underlings such as Gates and Soros, pulling the strings with compartmentalization and playing all sides off each other — essentially Satan in a human form) then of course the hidden elite will control more than 51% of the Bitcoin mining farms either directly or more likely indirectly (e.g. forcing KYC and PoSoFs via the NWO, globalist FATF rules which essentially 666 enslave everyone using Bitcoin).

Of course that slightly more than half of Bitcoin’s token supply is currently foolishly held in non-legacy addresses (i.e. those what begin with a 3 or bc1 instead of a 1, which are pay-to-script-hash and its variants such as SegWit specific address protocols) is going to fool the sheepeople herd of linear thinkers who favor a normalcy bias that weights continuation of trend greater than black swans (and they are usually correct, except when they are wrong they plunge to their demise over the black swan cliff). Some people mistakenly believe that black swans can’t be anticipated, but there is order in chaos if you know where to look and how to correlate it — which is what @otwa2113 is doing from an ostensibly purely mathematical chaos theory fixed point and bifurcation analyses, whereas I am incorporating my domain expertise about Bitcoin’s history, game theory, economics, technological details, Martin Armstrong’s cycle models, my markets analysis, etc..

Specifically read more carefully from point #4 to the end of the section and make sure you understand what is written. Do not gloss over (i.e. ignore) the significance of any words. Let me quote some essential excerpts which speak directly to your mischaracterization of the reality and the unassailable facts:

This economic asymmetry alone as it has been for every case of hard fork of Bitcoin, is enough to guarantee that the legacy fork is economically dominant. But it’s not the only reason…

Comment:

And:

Miners don’t decide and will be forced by the economic majority to mine the legacy fork because presumably the “attack” will occur at a nosebleed high price with the network hashrate mining difficulty pumped sky high, and to coincide with suddenly dumping million+ ₿ of the free airdropped Core (aka SegWit) sh8tcoins on the exchanges thus cratering the price of the soi-disant “official” Bitcoin fork (which everyone erroneously believes is Bitcoin). The price will be so low compared to the mining difficulty, that miners won’t even recoup a negligible fraction of their electricity costs. The Core sh8tcoin will halt because no blocks will be mined. And the mining difficulty can not be adjusted lower until 2016 blocks are mined — yet since no blocks will be mined because not profitable, then non-legacy (aka Core) protocol blockchain will be stuck and halt. Which of course will cause massive panic selling on the centralized exchanges, which will probably cause exchanges to also halt, lol. Blockstream’s “power rangers” will be forced to ”maintain” their sh8t staining fetish by manually hard forking (i.e. hard f*cking in the butthole and polishing the circlejerk turd of) their mining difficulty, thus rendering their Core sh8tcoin a centralized, sh8t stained security. And then the repeated ‘difficulty bomb‘ attacks will ensue until that sh8tstainedcorn is notionally “valued” ~$0. Let’s suppose human waste has some infinitesimal value to microbes and the antediluvian agricultural economy.

And:

Whereas at the time of the restoration “attack” the legacy Bitcoin blockchain will not have a high mining difficulty relative to its value, and there will be ANYONECANSPEND booty available in each block mined thus increasing the mining reward. Thus miners will only have the choice to either sell their ASICs or mine on the legacy Bitcoin chain forsaking the sh8t stained protocol fork forevermore.

And:

Yet even after this ELI5, the {redacted} stones in between @exstasie’s ears still won’t fathom why the legacy ₿ tokens would have any value, because he ostensibly incorrectly concludes that monetary value is a USAF consensus (aka democrazy) and not embedded in the Nash equilibrium monetary restandardization that organizes/promotes/fosters maximum capital formation via the constant marginal utility of an Ideal Money. Which is an unrelated process to onboarding poverty stricken plebs (c.f. also) in Web 3.0 with transaction scaling.

Note I refrained here on Tradingview from linking to trilema dot com in those quotes because Mircea’s website is banned on most social media (even though Mircea held ~500,000 BTC when he allegedly drowned in Costa Rica...and if you believe he drowned I have bridge to nowhere I would like to sell you).

@grepcat opined:

“i doubt miners will take/steal these without any major consequences. why would the community continue believing in bitcoin legacy (and the miners) after miner attack execution?”

@exstasie and nearly everyone who reads the explanation can’t seem to comprehend that the millions of worthless plebs and their FOMO Tulip bubble has already served its intended purpose and they are no longer relevant. Humans don’t comprehend the exponential function (example of the Lily pad only covering half of the pond on the 29th week and farmer is shocked fully covered by the 30th week) and they don’t comprehend the inviolable power-law distribution of fungible resources such as wealth and tokens — thus ultimately the 99% do not matter and depend entirely on the 1% who decide how to manage and harvest their 99% livestock herd. Satoshi intentionally designed Bitcoin to not be a transactional currency for the masses (when he intentionally set the block size to 1 MB and used the Wikileaks excuse to leave when he was being pressured to raise it and I already refuted the hearsay that it was only Hal Finney’s who want to cap the block size) — he rather designed Bitcoin to be an international settlement system for central banks and $trillionaires (possibly also $billionaires) as the transaction fees will become too high (e.g. $50,000) for the plebs to transact on chain (and Lightning Networks will be destroyed when Core it). Note Wikileaks was controlled by Rothschild and Assange even stayed at the house of Rothschild’s attorney in the UK who was helping him with his legal battles before he escaped to the Ecuadorian embassy.

Yet those extraneous details are not even required to make my N.B.A. slamdunk point. The fact is that invariably economics (and nature’s cycles as order in chaos, e.g. the Strange Attractor) drives outcomes. And the economics is such that only Bitcoin can be the future world reserve currency. You can observe that whomever is pulling the strings behind the curtain to create WW3 is creating a multi-polar world where globalism fails and no nation-state can trust and use another’s currency (not even the IMF or World Bank will be trusted by the BRICs Russia+China et al economic bloc that is forming and who would trust the Yuan or Ruble in the West?) as the global unit-of-account and reserve asset for international trade — thus making Bitcoin the de facto alternative. And that a Bitcoin based on a mutated protocol that has create a 12 million BTC booty is never stable (no Nash equilibrium) and thus can’t be a reserve currency until that booty is removed. Also very important realize that the model that best predicts the price of Bitcoin (after Plan B’s model failed) is cost of mining. Well when the miners take the booty, their profit skyrockets so thus the hashrate can be driven to the moon, thus the cost of mining driven to the moon, thus the price of legacy Bitcoin driven to the moon very quickly after the attack. The so called “attack” (and it is not an attack, but rather a restoration and removal of the 2017 NY agreement attack on the Nash equilibrium) actually will slingshot the price of legacy Bitcoin to the moon, precisely the opposite of the layman’s intuition, because layman do not understand anything and are ignorant fools who are slaughtered because they are ignorant.

I hope you are paying attention now!

Repeated again but with typos corrected...

My detailed reply:

@grepcat, July 4 updates on this published idea and my published idea Bitcoin bottom to be or not to be? in conjunction with those cited ideas published by math prodigy @otwa2113, corroborate that what’s going on with Bitcoin thus has implications for all risk-on market sectors.

Properly and fully grokking Bitcoin, its game theory, Nash equilibrium and economics — and especially why legacy protocol Bitcoin must rise to be the next world reserve currency and how it will rise by destroying the posited impostor Bitcoin Core (which is actually only an altcoin analogous and equivalent to Litecoin or any other proof-of-work piece-of-sh8t that integrated the scammer concept of Lightning Networks and SegWit) — is important to understanding all investment going forward.

The world is radically changing. I suggest you read all the updates on my published idea "Official" (impostor) Bitcoin Core to Drop to $0 in 2023? as I’m explaining in detail the unraveling of the world’s global financial and geo-political system (i.e. the post Bretton Woods order) and the monetary and political reset to a multi-polar world 666 enslaved by Bitcoin per the model in John Nash’s Ideal Money (Jstor) proposal. John Nash explained how an ideal unit-of-account would discipline and enslave the profligate nation-states. In my aforelinked published idea, I explain why human nature, civilization, and political power vacuums can never create a nation-state which is not dysfunctional. Do you really think that Rothschild’s 200 IQ secret team launched Bitcoin (pretending to unrealistically be some lone Japanese who created Bitcoin “in his mother’s basement”, lol…and I hope you read where I am explained that Satoshi Nakamoto = I am Nash) because it will remain decentralized forever? Of course as biblical Revelation predicts all the wealth will become concentrated on the seven hills surrounding Rome and/or Jerusalem and of course if the elitemost (Rothschild?) of the Davos elite (i.e. the old world money hiding behind the curtain of the underlings such as Gates and Soros, pulling the strings with compartmentalization and playing all sides off each other — essentially Satan in a human form) then of course the hidden elite will control more than 51% of the Bitcoin mining farms either directly or more likely indirectly (e.g. forcing KYC and PoSoFs via the NWO, globalist FATF rules which essentially 666 enslave everyone using Bitcoin).

“there are currently about 10-12 mil btc on segwit addresses”

Of course that slightly more than half of Bitcoin’s token supply is currently foolishly held in non-legacy addresses (i.e. those what begin with a 3 or bc1 instead of a 1, which are pay-to-script-hash and its variants such as SegWit specific address protocols) is going to fool the sheepeople herd of linear thinkers who favor a normalcy bias that weights continuation of trend greater than black swans (and they are usually correct, except when they are wrong they plunge to their demise over the black swan cliff). Some people mistakenly believe that black swans can’t be anticipated, but there is order in chaos if you know where to look and how to correlate it — which is what @otwa2113 is doing from an ostensibly purely mathematical chaos theory fixed point and bifurcation analyses, whereas I am incorporating my domain expertise about Bitcoin’s history, game theory, economics, technological details, Martin Armstrong’s cycle models, my markets analysis, etc.. I am sort of a polymath (almost) and incorporating information I find from many different sources of investigation.

Let Them Eat Crickets

Bill Gates’ dream of a meatless Utopia is coming to fruition one insect at a time. Aspire Food Group of Canada announced that it has created an “alternative protein manufacturing facility.” They are not referring to soy or plant-based alternatives but are encouraging the consumption of crickets.

The facility will produce 9,000 metric tons of crickets annually for both pets and humans. I personally would not even allow my dog to eat this pest. So, the plan is to distribute two billion bugs across the US and Canada. Crickets were previously sold to fish bait and pet shops (reptiles) for around $12 for 250 crickets, according to some estimates. The average female lays up to 10 eggs per day for the duration of her short lifespan. One square feet can hold an estimated 1,000 crickets, making this a much easier alternative to raising traditional livestock. Crickets require less space than cattle and allegedly produce less CO2 despite the fact that livestock is not the main culprit.

While other nations have eaten insects for centuries due to a lack of alternatives, the West has not been exposed to this diet. An article in Farmer’s Weekly noted that bacteria contamination is associated with both wild and farmed insects, including the genera Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Lactobacillus, Erwinia, Clostridium and Acinetobacter, as well as members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Expect the media to normalize eating bugs. Perhaps Ina Garten will do a special on how to roast them for your next gathering. However, we have always had the resources to eat fresh produce and animals that are traditional to Western culture. The idea that eating insects will somehow save the planet from mass climate destruction is absurd.

A Future Draft is Possible in the US

The US military is having trouble recruiting new members, according to the Pentagon. A much lower percentage of Americans are eligible to serve, and within that population, an even smaller amount is willing to enlist. Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation said, “This is the start of a long drought for military recruiting.” A recent poll by NBC News showed that only 9% of those eligible want to join the military, a major decrease from 29% in recent years.

{...}

People would enlist in the military to honor their country and provide a stable framework for their lives as the military assists with housing, education, and other benefits. A separate study found that only 45% of Americans trust the military, marking a 25-point decline since 2018. Furthermore, 57% of respondents from the NBC News poll believe that they will suffer psychological damage from serving.

The last generation had the hot topic issue of 9/11, terrorism, and protecting their country’s freedom. This generation has been raised in classrooms where they sit for the pledge of allegiance and are taught that their country is inherently bad. They watched the Commander in Chief abandon their mission in Afghanistan and continually disrespect members of the military. Not to mention the military fired servicemembers who declined to take the experimental vaccine. Patriotism is declining rapidly.

The military is desperate for recruits as every branch is struggling to attract new members. The Department of Defense (DoD) is actually hoping the new “Top Gun” movie will encourage people to join the Navy, and they plan to advertise on the Gen Z popular platform TikTok. The DoD may even remove the high school graduation requirement.

The military is currently an all-volunteer service in the US, but that may change. “2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force,” Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr admitted. Since top government agents are unable to define women, expect everyone to be targeted. Other nations such as Israel implement mandatory military requirements for all eligible young adults. Will America be next?

Comment:

Martin Armstrong, I am appealing you to please read this carefully so I can impart to you my domain expertise about Bitcoin and the distinction between the bona fide legacy protocol Bitcoin that Satoshi left for us and the mutated protocol so-called “official” Bitcoin Core (which is actually an impostor created by the 2017 New York soft fork agreement which broke the Nash equilibrium).

This is extremely important for you to understand, because predicting the outcome of the monetary reset for the world hinges on this knowledge. I have been attempting to impart this knowledge to you in communications I have sent you over the past few years. You seem to be resistant to learning that although you are correct about the end game of all the cryptocurrencies (except for the legacy Bitcoin) and that none of us will be rescued by cryptocurrency and that cryptocurrency is an evil, you are incorrect about the significance of Bitcoin on the upcoming monetary reset. It is crucial for you understand that legacy Bitcoin will not be accessible to 99.9% of people. It will be the international tier settlement asset in a two-tiered monetary system. The two-tier restriction will be achieved by both the transaction fees being driven to $50,000+ (due to the limited 1 MiB block size for the surviving legacy protocol) and due to FATF et al restricting who can cash in and out of Bitcoin to nation-state fiats.

Agreed. Martin Armstrong’s cyclical models and his A.I. data mining engine conclude the same.

12:20 (youtu.be/X2x1bn9d18s?t=740) Elliot Wave analysis.

Murrin appreciated the insight that there is a fractal structure to the analysis of price – because the universe is fractal. At JP Morgan it changed the whole way they took risk. Murrin’s Global Forecaster model looks at eighty inter-related macro markets operate within various windows and time frames. The Asian markets peaked last year in China and HK, which also fitted with analysis showing that China was moving from a manufacturing export-driven economy to a consumerist society preparing for war - like the Nazi Four Year Plan - and they were stockpiling commodities. A commitment to conflict. The forecasting model was able to predict the American bubble peak and got their clients to be mega-short at the highs – and have been short ever since. he observed pattern showed the end of at least of a decade trend, if not two or three decades. And coincides with the collapse of the American financial system.

Ditto my prior response.

17:55 (youtu.be/X2x1bn9d18s?t=1075): Linear v Lateral Thinkers.

Hunter gathering was/is a lateral pursuit within an entropic multi-variable environment. In contrast, the move to an agrarian lifestyle meant that the adoption to linear-thinking led to a more predictable, survivable trait. And Murrin would argue that is where the bulk of the human system expanded to the present 70% linear-thinking population. We now have a symbiotic dynamic, where one isn’t better than another, that we need each other and work together. This is fine in a steady state environment, but if you then have an adaptive event - or entropic event as he calls it – you need adaptive mindsets which are lateral mindsets. However, these two mindsets don’t tolerate each other very well. Systems are built by lateral people, which become stable as they get bigger. As this progresses, the lateral people get ejected and the linear people take over, and believe they built it. When an entropic event comes along, they fail to adapt to it, and they run the system into the ground. It’s what’s happening now in our politics, in our leadership. In America and Europe, they will not change. Most of the people in stock market now who are buying the dips are linear. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Lateral people have really struggled to survive in the last few years.

Agreed.

He believes humanity is split between 70% linear thinkers - who remain with the trend to the end - and 30% lateral thinkers, who have the ability to see things from the outside. Over recent years, the whole market has ejected their alpha-generating mavericks in favour of linear thinkers.

I agree with that. In fact I was thinking yesterday how my approach to interacting with linear thinkers is entirely ineffective because they are linear thinkers.

Comment:

22:00 (youtu.be/X2x1bn9d18s?t=1320): The Five Stages of Empire.

The Five Stages of Empire: Regionalisation; system expands with demographics, has to find new social organisation, controlled by linear leadership. There is war; essentially a Darwinist process of forced lateralisation - the lateral challengers beat the linear Establishment. The system militarises and starts knocking everyone off around it. You end up with an exponential expansion of empire, by obtaining more and more land and men, which gets faster and faster.

Expansion then reaches hard limits, which leads to an integrative, mature phase. Lateralisation is still very strong in the system. The values of courage, individuality, assessment and bold action are part of the system. But as time passes, the system starts to establish itself and institutions become bigger. There is stability because there are no challengers, only subject to natural events. More and more linear people creep in, who politic have the ability to move through the system rather than create. So they throw the mavericks out.

Somewhere near the top of this system there is another quiet civil war: the linear side ejecting the lateral side, creating a new way to power. Debt and manipulation ensue to overcome issues relating to imbalance of incomes versus outcomes. Thus overextension. There is so much momentum though, no one notices it. Then you get to the final moment, the 9/11 moment before decline, when something fundamentally changes – like Suez for Britain. In America, Biden is the most linear leader the country has had, and completely unfit for purpose. But he got there for a reason.
Hedonistic, narcissistic leadership across the whole spectrum becomes apparent, clogging the system.

Agreed. Martin Armstrong has just summarized this also in an excellent and highly recommended blog:

The Future – Post 2032 – A New Beginning?

All empires did the same thing: all the Chinese empires, Egyptian empires, the Roman empire (including the baton passed to the later Eastern Roman Empire) etc. And then something happened. In the Super Western Christian Empire (as Murrin began to call it), our empires of Portugal, Spain, Dutch, French, British – Germans tried twice - and America, had different durations, and shorter durations than the average 300 – 350 years. He thought that was interesting, and wondered if it was technology. Then Murrin realised that if you take the meme of Christianity and remove the national elements, as a Christian empire, it is the same duration. The cycles were there, just in a different construct.

The Great Power Shift from the Super Western Christian Empire to the Super Asian Empire, starting with Japan, and China as the second one. Systems could have superdynamics, rather than single cycles: spin out elsewhere. A bit like how the British empire spun out America. Brits benefited by having our cousins in power with very similar values. Western systems have lower numbers of people, who are far more individualistic, which grew out of the democracies evolved, led by the Netherlands and Britain. Asian systems have people who are subordinate to the collective and have bigger populations.

China is ascending to empire and America is in decline. Interesting to see how many countries surrounding China have been attacked and assimilated over the last decades, immediately after its civil war, where the Communists won. It supported NK against America, in the background during Vietnam – we’ve fought China before. China then reached a point where it couldn’t expand any more because of American power. The hegemony has to shrink to let the challenger find some space. As China could not directly oppose American power, they chose to enact a stratagem of subversion instead. Since 1996, they have decided to seduce the West, to invest in their manufacturing base and their economy, using the carrot that they would become like us, as capitalism took hold, and that democracy would inevitably follow. And we completely fell for it.

China has the biggest shipbuilding capability in the world. In a wartime situation, the Americans can make twenty major units; the Chinese can build a hundred.

Whereas as Russia, which is dead on its feet, but Putin is ambitious, Xi is exactly aligned with the expansive energy of the system. China’s demographics (an ageing population, so capturing a foreign workforce for their needs is likely on the agenda) will peak any time now, comprised of a bias off 55% males over females, which equates to roughly 55 million extra men that could go to war and be lost. There has never been another aggressive structure in the world that will take a leap when others won’t. The problem for the Chinese is twofold. Xi has his own agenda, and the Chinese know that the Indians aren’t behind them. And at what stage do Indians start replacing the American weakness, and the alliance between them balances their ambition.

China’s version of an empire will not be as dominant as were the Westerners. They won’t be able to force the Yuan to be the global reserve currency. They won’t be able to project military power over the end globe as the Westerners did. China will grow with the excellent demographics of the developing world.

The multi-polar world is important both in understanding why legacy Bitcoin will rise and why nations will fracture and thus only a NWO world government could restore order.

All hegemons have weapons systems that define their power. For the British empire it was it was battleships. With America, with a Pacific empire to rule over, distance and strike power reuqired aircraft carriers. So we now think of American hegemony as carrier power. For the Chinese, the thing that ends carriers is hypersonic weapons that drop in from above, that are fired from land in saturation attacks, which mean the carriers can’t operate. They have the capability soon to kill a ship before it leaves Portsmouth (south coast of England]. We are coming to the era where they have adapted to remove the power base of the West’s ability to project into the region. The American navy would have to deploy well over half its combat capability to have any chance of surviving. And then it risks its whole naval power in the endeavour of supporting Taiwan. He states that America claimed that when they get their rail guns and lasers, they’ll be safe. But Murrin claims the rail guns don’t work and the lasers aren’t powerful enough. And we’re now in a gap. We have nothing against super-hypersonics. But the Chinese realise that gap could be filled any time soon, so that’s another reason why the imperative to move now for them.

Astute.

It’s just like the Germans would have been bankrupt in 1940, so they go to war in 1939. But once you go into a wartime economy with physical acquisition, you change your balance. So for China it’s a case of shit or get off the pot.

China is indeed forced into WW3 as is Russia. Rothschild, Soros, Kissinger, Brzezinski et al mapped this NWO plan out well over the past half-century. Now they put the plan in accelerated phase transition as they go for the juggler.

Markets: 1:03:15 (youtu.be/X2x1bn9d18s?t=3780)

America entered the final stage of decline after 9/11. Real non-leveraged growth of America is likely <0.1. The peak in the Nasdaq and the other indices was ~ Thanksgiving 2021.

We are going back to lower than the lows of 2020; probably ~10% further before any chance of a bounce – either gradually or suddenly from here. It’s going to trap all the longs the wrong way. In this period there will be a demand drop and commodities will come back. The dollar will weaken because people will rake their money out of the USA, and the $ come down with that. Traditional safe haven merchants get flushed out, to about 30% of pain. We could get to the low quickly and sit on it for a long time before a correction. The “Doomsday Bubble” bubble at the end of the American empire, which is at the end of the greater Western Christian empire. So, whatever comes out of this financial system will not be as it was; the institutions around us are going to change. Markets face an extinction level event. A sequence of serious entropic disasters. And the question is if you can get your head around it and face it, and at least start to take mitigating actions – you haven’t got long in order to save yourself faster than others. This will be 1929 on steroids. The bottom will lead to hyperinflation.

Murrin was asked what hope is there. He answered that he financial system is beyond hope, and there are no actors who can change it. The Fed now understands the disaster they face. We may have seen the last interest rise before the whole thing collapses. The country I can see able to take avoiding action is Britain. Europe can’t do it an America can’t do it, because it’s in terminal decline. Britain could lower its taxes to flat taxes and fund the gap with one of these war loan structures, and basically attract what’s left of capital out of Europe and out of the USA to the UK, to attract a greater, faster growth rate than the inflation rate. That’s the only way you can recover, to create a hyper-growth environment. Britain’s cycle of empire is at the point where it could do it. And he thinks belatedly they’ll work it out. But the old Treasury people that believe in the dogma of “tax more, get more” need to be put in the toilet. We need to do it very quickly, and sort out food security too.

We will beg for hyperflation because what is planned for us is much worse. Hyperinflation only happens if the confidence in the monetary system of that nation completely collapses, c.f. also. The U.S.A. is no where near complete collapse. The confidence in the dollar and the U.S. military will not evaporate to 0 overnight — that takes time to wind out. I will follow-up with the timing of that Mad Max or EOTWAWKI scenario.

Lol he must be British? The hopium and confirmation bias.

The dollar will be strong until at least the USSA loses WW3. So that is mistake I see. The USA is no where near insolvency.

His myopia is he does not seem to understand that the lateral thinkers are in control and they are not going effing die any time soon. Also the leaders of the decadence are getting rich by continuing what they are doing.

And the youth who will remake the system as it fails are all into “fairness”, “snowflake reality”, technocracy, etc..

This is a permanent and terminal decline albeit with thrusts to worst followed by dead cat bounces along the way to a multiple hundreds of years Dark Age.

I am interested in any specifics on why he thinks Britain is an outlier. Makes no sense whatsoever to me, excepting perhaps that Britain always relied on leveraging the resources and growth of external nations for its empire. Does Britain find some way to hitch onto China and Russia?

Comment:

I need to rush out the door but quick thoughts while I was putting on my shoes.

1. Hyper growth in the West is impossible without discarding the lateral thinkers, which is precisely what I have been thinking about how to create an orthogonal virtual economy. We can not dehitch from the lateral thinkers in the physical realm, because they control the Weberian monopoly on physical violence/coercion/confiscation/imprisonment.

2. Thus his outlandish theory about Britain is obviously incorrect. How could he commit such a blunder after being so astute in the initial understanding? It is as if he entirely dismissed his initial understanding.

The only spiritual awakening is going to be mass gnashing of teeth.

> “Britain’s cycle of empire is at the point where it could do it.”

I believe Armstrong wrote that Europe has another couple hundreds years before it can rise again. The U.S. maybe 600 – 900 years, although it will not fully collapse into a Dark Age until 2080. Europe is accelerated on that front.

> “We need to do it very quickly, and sort out food security too.”

He is dreaming. Not going to happen.

> “This decade is a case of catastrophe or consciousness for mankind. This is a battle of human evolution, not just of our time. It dictates the nature of the human race going forwards.”

Catastrophe only. If there will be an consciousness it will come from some new form of association, such as virtual government that knows no physical borders. Where the like-minded lateral thinkers can disintermediate themselves from the morass.

Excerpts from this excellent and highly recommended blog post:

The Future – Post 2032 – A New Beginning?

QUESTION: Will you explain what Socrates foresees for after 2032 at this year’s WEC in November?

{…}

ANSWER: I have warned that the Economic Confidence Model and how markets even trade themselves is always fractal. We are completing the end of the BIG ONE. I think a lot of people are starting to see this too. The End of the World is by no means the END. It is just the point in history where it all begins again. We can see that Biden is probably the instrument of death, or should I say those who write his executive orders and cheat sheets. They are obsessed with climate change and are deliberately trying to destroy our capacity to produce and use fossil fuels.

The hatred and division in our society is just insane. We have celebrities canceling the 4th of July over abortion. The very law that the Supreme Court ruled on limited abortion to 15 weeks. They seem to think they have the right to kill a child up to birth.

{…}

There is an ebb and flow to civilization. We all come together because it benefits all of us, and then it falls apart when one group begins to exploit another. This is the basic rhythm of civilization. As taxes are low and the economy booms in the city, the youth are attracted to the city and leave their parents on the farms or suburbs and head off to make their fortune in the world. Rome became the largest city in history, reaching a population in excess of 1 million by its peak in 180 AD. It had crossed that 1 million mark in 133 AD during the reign of Hadrian (117-138AD).

With the death of Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD) in 180 AD, the decline and fall began just 51.6 years after it exceeded one million people. The crazy emperor Commodus (177-192 AD) followed his father. Like the Democrats today who attack anyone who supported Trump and are still running against Trump in 2022, Commodus did the same, and anyone who had supported his father he attacked. Today, Liz Cheney, who is as evil as her father in my opinion, is today’s Commodus. She is the destroyer of civilization, for her personal hatred of Trump is dividing the nation and will ensure that people like her will end the United States as we have known it. Cheney will unleash civil war if she really thinks that she can prevent Trump from running

{…}

Rome was the largest city in ancient times. It eventually collapsed to a population of just 15,000 during the middle ages. The city of London, England, was the first city to reach a population again of one million and it took nearly 6 waves of 309.6 years. London reached the 1 million mark in 1810 during the reign of George III (1760-1820) and in comparison, New York City finally reached that level in 1875 thanks to all the people fleeing Europe. We once again are approaching the peak in civilization and what will come after 2032 will be once more the disintegration of civilization.

Rome fell and broke up into small enclaves that ushered in the feudal system. People became serfs for the common protection of a landlord and his castle. We still retain the word “landlord” to this very day. We will see a new world where countries will no longer exist as we know them and they will all divide and separate into localized jurisdictions lacking the strength of central power.

There will be battles over separation. About 86 years from the peak of Rome, it was divided into three segments. Then there were battles to reunite the empire. Then Constantine divided the empire by moving the capital to Constantinople, which is today Istanbul. Even when Russia fell, it divided regions along the lines of the original countries that were conquered.

Globalization will come to an end and we’re already witnessing this with the Biden sanctions on Russia that have caused inflation and divided the world economy in two. We will witness a return to make the manufacture of various goods locally for each division as well as growing their own food. Energy may revert back to wood and oil for there will be no major power grids as they become localized.

Our population models suggest up to a 50% reduction perhaps as soon as 2040. The population is already shrinking and aging in all the major industrialized nations.

{…}

This will be a NEW BEGINNING for civilization. We will get to rewrite the form of government of the future. This will be a 309.6-year Private Wave, which will be volatile, but our current form of Republics that pretend they are democracies are coming to an end. These are the most corrupt forms of government known in history. They will no longer exist. We will see an admixture of dictatorships/monarchies and democracies.

Comment:

I was speaking to an American in the grocery store. He is a former military and now claims to be a devout Christian studying to be a preacher. I mentioned to him 1 Samuel 8 and he was unfamiliar with that scripture. I also mentioned that Romans had been mistranslated from the original Greek to English. He was adamant that that could not be the case and he was unwilling to look at the original Greek and see if it had been mistranslated. And his reasoning if the English Bible is the literal word of God then translation from the original Greek has nothing to do with it. He was so close-minded and so sure of his opinion. He cited his mentor who is apparently able to read Greek and Hebrew. So I asked him if he could check with his mentor to study the original Greek of Romans and see if it had been mistranslated. He was quite offended by this suggestion and he said he didn't need to and he got angry. He walked away in a huff when I asked him how does he know that to be the case if he doesn't check it. He walked off muttering something about literal word of God or something like that.

His attitude reminded me of the person who I now forget the name was a member of our group who I had met in Las Vegas Nevada the one who had a said he didn't want to be associated with me anymore because he was afraid that I would expose him to criminal activities. At this point Americans have a lot of hubris and they deserve everything that's coming to them.

I recall now that this was the sort of conclusion and reaction I had come to originally before I left for the Philippines the first time in the 1990s. That Americans were so set in their thinking and unwilling to explore and discuss openly and let the facts fall where they may. That was one of the reasons I originally left the United States and I guess maybe it'll be a reason again.

So my reaction is that people in general are very intransigent and unwilling to change their beliefs, their lifestyle, etc.

So there will be no massive Awakening. The decadence and implosion into the abyss is preordained and impossible to stop or preempt. We can only speak or help or guide those who want to change or already of the mindset to be lateral and not linear thinkers. I challenged myself throughout my life to embrace radical changes in my life and myself. So I think I'm quite the rare black duckling. I don't think there will be many others like me or to the extent that others are like me in in the sense of being very open to radical change their choices are likely to be different than mine.

Note this was transcribed by Google voice so any errors might be attributable to that technological interface.

ADD: governance is thus always about the most ruthless capturing the power vacuum of humanity's intransigent ignorance. In short humans are sheep to be harvested. Really nature wants to slaughter them (1 Samuel 15). As the Trilema dude Mircea wrote that they're cute little bunny 🐰 rabbits.

The only spiritual awakening is going to be mass gnashing of teeth.

It doesn’t mean that those who survive were not affected that much. Survival/misery and prosperity/happiness are at opposite extremes.

I have stated I will keep one foot in the U.S. for as long as I can. And yes I am shifting my focus to the more pragmatic decisions and actions, as I realize the futility of my prior efforts (intended plans) to educate, inform and possibly prevent the horrific outcome.

I believe there will be shortages (not just in China) eventually because of WW3 and the collapse of global trade. Latin America exports food (and copper), as it has low population relative to is agricultural and mining fecundity. The U.S. had very high productivity and prosperity but it has been captured by fascism (Bolsheviks, Neocons and monopolists in bed together for the time being). Leftist holiness spirals are not stable. Eventually the U.S. devolves to something much worse as the more ruthless cast off the allegiances of convenience because the power vacuum of popular (nearly ubiquitous) AmeriKaan ignorance and intransigence will be increasing captured by the more ruthless who devour the less ruthless. This is how power vacuums and holiness spirals play out historically.

In China the power vacuum has been captured so far by Xi who was more ruthless than the moderates. Xi is prepping China for WW3.

These are the pitiful, grotesque, sordid invariants of human civilization.

Comment:

Wither England?

“What is most curious is that 2021 is precisely 314 years from the birth of Great Britain. The events from the year 1707 created on May 1st the Treaty of Union and its ratification by the 1707 Acts of Union. The fact that Amsterdam has retaken the lead in stock markets seems to be right on schedule.”

“A gun-wielding man fired twice, and kicked her as she was lying on the floor while shouting “Britain first!” This is warning what our computer has been projecting; if the BREXIT vote fails, there will be a serious rise in violence in Britain. We will also see the issue of Scotland breaking away from the UK resurface. As we have warned, we are entering the year from political hell with FOUR major political elections: BREXIT, US Presidential election in November, and the German and French elections.

The idea of federalizing Europe to end war was precisely the cause of a right wing rising all around Europe. Brussels is causing political unrest and this is very serious moving forward.”

“QUESTION: Why was Britain the financial capital of the world before the first world war? Are you saying it was not their gold reserves?

ANSWER: It was never the British gold reserves. It was the unique talent of the British who were traders in the city by nature. Perhaps it was a cultural aspect that made London the trading capital of the world compared to other cities, and the United States learned this trading instinct from the British.”

{…}

“London had emerged as the financial capital of the world before the war. London was of critical importance for its large financial institutions emerged as clearing banks for worldwide trade, which grew in importance and with that their gold reserves. London exercised great influence on global financial market conditions much as New York does today during the Post World War II era.”

{…}

“London was the linchpin of the global financial system for it was the Financial Capital of the World prior to World War I. The real power behind the British pound was the international reach of the British Empire. London became the center of the financial markets which dominated the world economy. The city of London and the financial expertise of its traders and bankers were the real power that supported the British Empire, not its politicians nor its actual gold reserves.”

Read the entire aforelinked blog. The key facet is that the world was dependent on the pound sterling (and then later the U.S. dollar) for global trade. Thus these nations could debase their currencies to kick the can down the road and maintain both their power and raison d‘etre.

BUT THAT LEASH HAS COME TO ITS END NOW!!!

Monetary system collapse means empire collapse. It means the Western returns to Third World standard-of-living. Europe will return to the pestilence of the Middle Ages and the U.S. may only fair slightly better.

Comment:

Armstrong is really incorrect, the reason was not just the expertise of its people, but enslaving the rest of the world in a reserve currency. And now Rothschild plans to enslave the world in Bitcoin as the reserve account, but this will have an entirely different flavor as explained by John Nash in his Ideal Money proposal (c.f. Jstor). Bitcoin will enslave all the nations. The 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document “Scenarios for the Future” explained what the plan is. The nations will become saddled with massive poverty. Expect Western nations to become leftist banana republics with coup d‘etats every few years or decades. Expect warlords, separatism, lack of physical security, lack of food security, insane governments confiscating everything for any reason, and dangerous to live in the countryside. The masses will huddle into the cities and sleep in cubicles. Suburban housing will rot and decay as unoccupied haunted houses.

Armstrong blogged in 2013 and I wonder if he still has the following opinion?

> “I wanted to say that the three candidates for adopting monetary reform are actually Britain, Italy, and Spain. We have been preparing a map for Britain to save itself and if it would adopt such a reform, it will become the light that guides the way to the future. What we ultimately submit will be published in due course”

Seems by 2018 Armstrong realized it would simply be collapse followed by eventual rebirth (after we are long since dead):

> “Therefore, we have two historic break-ups that Britain faces in the future. Eventually, the United Kingdom will break apart formally, but with the collapse of Brussels and the EU Project, we are also likely to then see AFTER 2032, the general trend toward decentralization of governments as a whole. Hence, we will see England break apart into the old Anglo-Saxon regions as we will see the United States break apart. This is the cycle of dissolution politically against centralized government, which is why the Communist experiment also collapsed. Then you begin again and reform nation-states in the next major cycle wave. Society comes together for economic efficiency, and then government abuses its power, which in turn then results in the cycle of dissolution and it all begins once again.”

Sounds like the leftist holiness spiral will devour the West until perhaps a decade after 2032, everything will just collapse in separatism.

”During the reign of Eadgar (959-975 AD), England was united under one ruler. It was Eadgar who instituted a uniform coinage throughout the land. Eadgar set the pattern for the ‘reformed’ coinage of the later Anglo-Saxon and Norman period and standardized the use of the king’s portrait as in old Roman tradition.

Here too, we are reaching 21 cycles of the ECM 51.6-years from the reign of Eadgar, which also confirms independently 2042-2044 the likelihood of England breaking apart back toward the regions that were united by Eadgar will be the fate of Britain.”

Note Australia may or may not be the ‘West’. I think it will probably become subservient to China and maybe even mass emigration from China to Australia. Economics dictates outcomes.

> “Britain was the Financial Capital of the World until World War I. This chart illustrates what happened to Britain and how it lost that stature of being the Financial Capital of the World — it was debt. The people in Britain did not lose everything. What really happened was that the separatist movement emerged and the British Empire began to break up.”

224 Year Collapsing Wave Structure Points to Breakup of USA

Comment:

“Look at the British pound during the American Civil War. It was the rally in the pound that began the breakup of the British Empire, as I have warned will happen to the US dollar. That rise in the pound exported DEFLATION to the British Empire and the economic conditions led to the start of separatist movements. Canada won its independence on July 1, 1867. The second major wave of separatist movements came with the end of World War II. India won its independence on August 15, 1947.

The United States will be at risk of also breaking apart under economic conditions, which will fuel both the religious and political battles between left and right. There will be a high probability that the United States will break into regional groups, probably four major regions in general. It does not mean life will come to an end or that we all have to run and hide in a cave. The British survived as will Americans. If we understand the cycle, we will be better positioned to survive with security.”

Click to see charts and infographics on all links I provide. I can not insert images here on Tradingview.

“Without the USA holding the world up right now, there is not much politicians can do but muck up the entire world economy. The EU will turn against its citizens quite violently {…} In the final straw, I do not think Scotland will surrender its sovereignty to Brussels when the economy turns down very hard.

As for the break-up of the USA {…} This is the core of the break-up for what lies behind that is culture and religion. Once the economy turns down, this will accelerate.”

“How did Britain reduce its massive debt? The debt was devalued by the collapse of the British pound {…} So the collapse of the British Empire resulted in the collapse in purchasing power of the currency, the devaluation of debt, and the loss of territory. It was NOT a MADMAX event such as the fall of Rome. That takes placed when government attacks its citizens, hunts down capital as they are all starting to do now, and keep raising taxes PREVENTING economic growth. That is the substantial difference.

So what are we looking at with the fall of the American Empire? There should be a loss in unification (territory) just as we saw in Britain and the collapse of Russia or even that of Charlemagne. Look at the full history of Britain, you see the tribal Celtic pre-Roman Period, the collapse of Britain back into tribal states post-Rome {…} The future course of the United States will follow the same pattern. Pre-Revolution, you had separate states. That became the UNITED states in 1789. We will see a breakup of the states most likely banding together in regions because of the difference in cultural views {…} but it should not go into a MADMAX event as long as we reach resistance from the people. If the people keep just watching their sports and never notice what the governments are doing to their future until it is too late, then it can go too far and that in the MADMAX event the ended the Roman Empire.

There is a danger of a MADMAX event because of the stubborn insistence upon Marxism and we have a crisis in philosophy that is even infecting Britain to this day. I may be the gadfly.“

Amazing that Armstrong can’t see that the only future reserve currency has to be controlled by no one (in theory) thus will be LEGACY Bitcoin (after the current impostor Bitcoin is destroyed):

“A one-world reserve currency would most likely emerge from some sort of G20 type model. We are talking about only a reserve currency that will require international agreement like Bretton Woods. Each country’s currency would float against that based upon confidence. That will replace the dollar as the reserve. The people would not surrender their cultures to one government – just look at the results in Europe.

There is no question that the monetary system must fall as we know it. This is simply a matter of time. As far as government, when the economy falls, then we will see the pressure build. We either move toward totalitarianism or freedom.”

“Indeed, I have been warning that our models have been pointing to tremendous civil unrest which will eventually lead to the break-up of the United States post-2024 and the war this Great Reset unleashes upon the world. People like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab are as dangerous to humanity as Adolf Hitler, Stalin, or Lenin. They only see their dream and fail to understand that the world is split 50/50 on this idea of Marxism and we are not their toy things to play with.

{…}

Ironically, our model on the prospects for the rise in a civil war in the United States turned upward in December 2019 when COVID was released. This should erupt within three years of that turning point which will be 2022. That is not to say there will be a civil war at that time, but the confrontation will rise up and start to take shape in 2022. Traditionally, the revolution will erupt 13 years after that turning point which ironically brings us precisely to 2032.”

Ah fmr Atty General Bill Barr also covered up Hunter Biden:

“AG Barr declined to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden because a special counsel cannot be dismissed by Biden or his AG. This way any investigation of Hunter will be covered-up.”

Comment:

Here Armstrong explains what kind of youth are going to create that revolution in 2032 and it is the opposite of the virtues of the youth who fought the Revolutionary War:

The Rising Civil Unrest in America is Highly Dangerous for the Future

“{…} Therefore, beware of the youth. They are easily influenced and will have little regard for life for they will see themselves throughout history as the great reformers. {…} The first opportunity where the United States will break apart at least into three parts if not four will be 23 years from 2013. That will will most likely be the Pi target from the 2032 high – 3.14 years later bringing us to 2036. That may sound nuts, but in 1985, restated again in 2011, that a third party could take the White House in 2016 which was perfect on a 51.6 year (8.6-year) ECM (Economic Confidence Model) Frequency. {…} The refugee invasion into Europe is akin to the invasion of the barbarians into the Roman Empire. Both groups had little respect for the culture and open contempt for much of it. They are not interested as a whole in adopting the European culture, they are intent upon imposing their own upon Europe.

Centralized government is the doom of humankind. It is people like Hillary and Obama who have, as Thomas Paine observed, “confounded society with government, as to leave no distinction between them.” Their goal is to eliminate personal freedom and impose their doctrine by sheer force. The Puritans imposed the same policies in England following their revolution they called “Glorious” after beheading the king. They made it a felony to kiss your wife in public, outlawed sports because it led to cursing, outlawed plays for they were filled with lies, and outlawed Christmas because you should be praying not giving gifts and partying. (see Roots of Evil). Whenever one group thinks it has the right to impose its philosophy upon the whole, civil war breaks out historically.”

Remember democracy was the alternative to war. Democracy is now failing and we go back to constant strife.

The Next US & World Civil War

{…} the Sixteenth Amendment matters most because it has forever changed the character of the United States into a Marxism playground from Socialism while converting the government, from a modest central government dependent on consumption taxes and tariffs on imports to the much more powerful modern government that sees no end to its power with the vast power to humble anyone from a tax perspective even Obamacare.

{…}

America’s Rising Separatist Movement52 In the United States, there has been a similar underlying hatred of opposing sides that is developing not seen since the American Civil War. While many want to paint the Civil War as simply just racist slavery, the only people who owned slaves were the wealthy and they were not in the front lines shooting. Much of the fight for the majority of soldiers had little to do with the slavery issue. It was in part about state’s rights, which had been a festering question for a longtime. Even when the Constitution was passed, only 39 delegates signed it out of 70. So, from the very beginning, there was never one voice of the people. Many protested over the lack of a Bill of Rights. As mentioned, Patrick Henry (1736-1799) who also said: "Give me Liberty or give me Death" refused to sign the Constitution for the lack of safeguards against violating the rights of States and individual freedoms. The north claimed that the South was using States’ Rights to justify everything. Yet this was the core of the real dispute.

Indeed, with the end of the war, then came the questions of how to treat the Rebel States in light of state rights. Was there a right of any state to secede from the union thereby terminated?

{…}

This interpretation certainly denies the idea of a free society. You can enter the Union but you can never leave –sort of like the song Hotel California.

{…}

Those who argue that no state can secede from the United States based on the Supremacy Clause are clearly in conflict with the Republican Guarantee Clause.

{…}

However, the Civil War was won by sheer force and not well-reasoned law. So, it does not appear that the break-up of the United States can take place in a peaceful manner without the federal government losing power.

{…}

The Civil War was America's bloodiest conflict. It was truly the real killing field. The battles such as Shiloh, Antietam, Stones River, and Gettysburg shocked citizens and international observers alike. Nearly as many men died in captivity during the Civil War as were killed in the whole of the Vietnam War. But given the size of the population, about 2%+died or an estimated 620,000 men, lost their lives in the line of duty. World War II saw a death toll for Americans of 407,316.Taken as a percentage of today's population, the death toll of the American Civil War would have risen as high as 6 million souls something that would have approached the deaths inflicted by Joseph Stalin on Ukraine.

{…}

This is how you move toward a totalitarian state. First, you must separate and divide the people as much as possible using race and religion. Now they have introduced COVID-19 vaccines to further the divide the country by pitting vaccinated versus unvaccinated and turn them against each other. Yet if being vaccinated was supposed to protect you, now they say that the vaccinated are dying because of the unvaccinated. It is not acceptable to simply allow people free choice. That is just not allowed in this new totalitarian state.

{…}

The Kent University State Massacre took place on May 4th, 1970 {…} Simply applying the standard 8.6-year frequency to this event and the cycle of civil unrest will turn up in the United States come December 8/9th, 2021. This will reach a peak initially in 2026.23 (March 25th, 2026).

The fear that everything was crashing down around them led the politicians to embrace Klaus Schwab’s solution of destroying the world economy to BUILD BACK BETTER and use that as the excuse to: (1) terminate government debt, and (2) eliminate any democratic process that would allow “populism” to expand. Consequently, it was the election of Donald Trump that made the career politicians realize that their money pot could come to an end. The rise in worldwide protests in 2019 also helped to strengthen Schwab’s argument to now change entire world economy. The Democrats used the January 6th, 2020 event that they called an “armed insurrection” despite the lack of any guns discovered and the clear involvement of government agents to assist in planning this event to not just justify Pelosi’s Wall, to cling to this event to justify passing the Domestic Terrorist Act which was to be used against any American protesting what they intended to do. Taking the January 6th, 2020 event, besides lining up with the turn in the economic Confidence Model, it did not line up with previous civil unrest events. This is an indication that it was used as a False Flag for political power.

Even looking at the 224-year cycle of political change, from the start of the United States in 1789, that meant that a shift was due to take place in 2013. On June 6, 2013, that is when former CIA employee Edward Snowden disclosed operations engaged in by a U.S. government mass surveillance program to news publications and fled the country, later being granted temporary asylum in Russia. That was the watershed moment that marked the peak in public confidence and the decline has begun from that point. This suggests that if we are talking about the end of the United States and it being reduced to a third world country, that is not likely until 2085. That would be 72 years from the 2013 peak in that cycle. What is interesting is the 224-year cycle from when Columbus landed in America, Columbus Day, which was when the morning of October 12, 1492, a sailor on board the Pinta sighted land, beginning a new era of European exploration and expansion, brought us to the second wave in 1940 and 72 years thereafter brings us also to 2012/2013 as well. So,it does not appear to be the end of American civilization until 2085.

From the death of Marcus Aurelius on March 17th, 180AD which historians market the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire, curiously, 72 years later brings us to the first Roman Emperor to be killed by the barbarians in battle, Trajan Decius (249-251AD) and the chaotic period of 251-253AD where three emperors vied for power and then eventual rise of Valerian I (253-260AD) who was then captured by the Persians in 260AD and the entire collapse of the Roman monetary system then begins in just 8.6 years. These time periods have been amazing throughout history. There is simply a rhythm to everything.

Therefore, we can see that both the 224 and the 8.6-year cyclical waves have been relevant. This brings us to our current times and how to judge what is the most likely time frame for the turmoil. Of course, the Pi date on the Economic Confidence Model had even picked the very day of the 911 attack. On the 2007 Wave, the Pi target picked the day Greece sought help from the IMF beginning the debt crisis.

When we plot an 8.6-year wave from the release of Snowden’s effort to reveal the illegal activities of the CIA and NSA on spying on Americans, the results are very interesting. The day of the peak marked the invasion of Russia intervening in the Syrian Civil War. This actually led to Merkel opening the gates to Europe unilaterally starting the entire mass immigration crisis. It was this decision by Merkel that never put anything to a vote for Germans no less all of Europe that justified BREXIT as the British disagreed with what Merkel had done. It also illustrated that a single head of state could take action that then impacted as a dictator upon all of Europe.

Comment:

Then the Pi Target magically produced the first major protest against the election that stormed Washington on November 14th, 2020. This was thrown down the gauntlet and from this point on, the nation has become ever more divided The next date to arrive will be January 11th, 2022. If we again see yet another important event take place on that date, they we know for sure that the Snowden event was a major turning point which will point to the peak of the next 8.6-year which will be 2026.33 (April 1st, 2026) where we see the risk of both civil unrest and international war.

If we plot 51.6-year wave from the start of the American Civil War 1861.279, we end up with 1912.879 when the major political uprising of Marxism took hold in the United States Clearly, 1912 was a very critical year in the scheme of things from a rising political division.

The next target was Mon., June8, 1964 (1964.479) was the start of the week that marked when the US Senate broke a 75-day filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, leading to the bill’s passage. It was the period of massive race riots and civil unrest. Yet on May 2nd, an explosion sunk the USS Card while it is docked at Ho Chi Minh City Saigon. The US accused the Viet Cong forces of placing a bomb on the ship which was raised and returned to service less than seven months later. The Gulf of Tonkin incident when the Vietnamese allegedly fired on the USS Maddox was quickly followed by the August 7, 1964 when Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, authorizing President Johnson to take any measures he believed were necessary beginning the Vietnam War.

The next wave ended with Fri., Jan. 29, 2016 (2016.079) when Donald Trump became President. President Donald Trump is the only modern president who had no political experience before entering the White House which was his strong suit and it frightened career politicians worldwide.

{…}

Other presidents who lacked political experience had strong military backgrounds such as Dwight Eisenhower and Zachary Taylor. Trump stands out as the first private businessman ever to be appointed by the people against career politicians.

{…}

What is important to understand is that within the current ECM 51.6-year Wave that began 1985.65, the Pi target was 2017.05 from the beginning which was the precise day that Donald Trump was elected. Once more, this has nothing to do with the policies of Trump. The model projected that the first opportunity for a Third-Party candidate to win would be the 2016 election. That forecast was made in 1985 when this wave began. Therefore, plotting a 51.6-year wave from 2016 will be revealing. We see turning points lining up in 2020 and 2024 followed by 2028, 2033, and 2037 which will be the bottom of this 51,6-year ECM wave.

{…}

There is absolutely NO WAY these people will succeed. The economic structure is entirely different today than the rising conflicts where society was still emerging from serfdom during the 19th century. As explained, nations will split along the same historic lines as previous divisions. In the case of the United States, the Midwest was not yet formed during the American Civil War. California did provide funding for the Union and they will be aligned with the New England states. The next separation of the United States will be primarily the South versus the North and it will be over state rights. However, this time it will be the North imposing economic slavery demanding compliance and the Democrats are indeed in full secret league with the foreign movement spearheaded from the World Economic Forum. The risk of collapse begins in 2022 but they will fight until 2026.

Martin Armstrong needs to properly define ‘succeed’ in that context. If we are all splintered into warlordism, separatism and chaos, this opens the power vacuum for the NWO which will totally enslave us. This plan for our future had been depicted in the giant wall sized murals at the Denver airport, c.f. also my Something is rotten in the Denver airport (archived).

Bitcoin to $0 & Bankruptcy | The Truth.

Kevin very likely in the incoming 2023 to 2024 recession that stock markets will decline to 2008 levels. Because the Fed will not be able QE in 2023 because oil will be spiking north of $200 as a consequence of the West forcing Russia to take the Sulwaki corridor after Lithuania (as a proxy for Brandon) essentially declared war on Russia. The Bolsheviks and Neocons running the U.S.A. now are forcing Russia and China into WW3 intentionally. But international capital will stampede into the dollar and Treasuries because of this, thus relieving the Fed of need to QE at least until the depths of the 2024 Greater Depression/Recession. So after this bounce in the markets incoming into the end of the year (BTC perhaps to ~$50k), GTFO and don’t try to catch a falling knife in real estate either. The model for Bitcoin’s demise which you presented herein aligns very well with the fact that Bitcoin will be “attacked” by the miners. The details can be found on my trading view which is pointed to by my About profile.

(Stocks vs Real Estate.)

If you had purchased Bitcoin even at the highest price of $34 in 2011, and sold even at the crash price of $34k in 2022, your $18k investment would have netted $18M in profit. Those of us who were former silver investors, had scooped up BTC at ~$10. My colleague (after asking for my opinion) sold $100k of silver to buy 10,000 BTC. You may remember he bought the castle in Estonia for $1M in BTC in 2014. Another multi-year 100X opportunity is coming in legacy Bitcoin at the ~$5k bottom of the lows in 2023 or 2024.

Houses will be lucky to appreciate double off their bottoms in 2024 because of persistently rising interest rates and property taxes as local government revenues suffer the crunch of the demise of Western civilization and WW3.

Your compelling home investment example requires excellent credit and an income because there’s a limit to debt to income ratio that will be allowed. Also it’s a headache of maintenance, and managing tenants which is also a lawsuit risk. Also houses are immovable so if the Bolsheviks (and Neocons) in control of the USSA decide to essentially confiscate assets (you should familiarize yourself with Civil Asset Forfeiture and its Deodand historical precedent) or suddenly raise taxes (e.g. net worth tax) you can’t leave the country or hide your assets from the Venezuela future of the West.

My upside is still programming new Internet businesses (e.g. a dating site, AirBnB clone on a blockchain) with 1000+X upside on investment time, effort and capital. Houses are old school. I understand it works for you but I could surpass your net worth in the blink of an eye with one stroke of properly applied effort and astute marketing (only my bad health has been holding me back past decade). Health is the most important!

There’s an oversupply of housing for our future demographics, especially suburban housing because the younger generation will choose to live in cubicles in walkable cities as they will be also be dependent on UBI to survive. So the only thing holding up housing is people buying investment homes (e.g. for appreciation and AirBnB/VRBO rentals). There’s probably a higher level of interest rates where the entire paradigm breaks even if buying the dip. Martin Armstrong predicts 6+% Treasuries by ~2026.

I have a friend that just bought a house last week in Stockton 22,000 down on 540,000 payment of 3900, that’s real life, and that was a rate of 5 percent, your numbers make no sense now, I’ll keep investigating in stocks for the next year or two instead, I believe they can rent there place out for 2400

Someone severely damaged Ted Turner’s eugenics and totalitarian shrine Georgia Guidestones. Local officials decided to topple the remaining structure:

Comment:

This is what I warned about more than 2 years ago. The national governments will not be able to bail out the local governments. And thus local governments will be forced to find new sources of revenue as their revenue plummets due to the Greater Depression we are entering with the Minsky Moment and skyrocketing interest rates.

For example in the UK property tax rates are ~2 – 3% of assessment values (which is already very high!). Yet house prices (in nations where they are mostly financed with mortgages) will decline perhaps by 50% as interest rates explode higher. Yet property taxes are allowed to rise 3% per annum on the nominal (not percentage!!) amount (same referendum laws were passed in Texas for example). And the portion of the 3% per annum not used by a local council can be deferred and added back in future years. So over the next decade nominal property taxes could rise by 33% while assessment values plummet. Expect effective tax rates north of 6% per annum which means in 12 years you had to pay for your house twice. Look most people won’t be paying them as they will be renters (possibly their rent paid as UBI by the government). So the populism politics will support essentially confiscating the private homeowners via egregious taxation.

Local govt doesn’t care if you can’t pay the tax, they seize your house, throw you in prison, sell the house which helps drive down valuations thus forcing more people to default in a death spiral. Lovely.

Additionally due to Civil Asset Forfeiture (aka Deodand) the local governments (or police) will seize properties that they allege (but never need to proof) had any contact with criminal activity, such as if you rent out and someone alleged to have smuggled/sanctuary for illegal migrants, smoked pot or drug dealing visits the home. Government then seizes your home even if the allegation was entirely false. Yes this happens and I have linked to numerous examples in the past.

THIS IS WHY I SAY IT IS TIME TO LEAVE THE WESTERN WORLD. YOU WILL BE DOOMED THERE. Move to where real estate is not financed and property taxes are only 0.1%.

How Western Sanctions Crippled Syria

“{…} as the US invaded sovereign nations under false pretenses {…} It all ties back to the US and Russia vying for Syrian oil. Both sides were bombing Syria into oblivion. The US has not lifted sanctions despite desperate cries for help from the Syrian people. At least 1.5% of the entire population of Syria is now dead, and over 90% live in extreme poverty. Biden recently claimed sanctions do not work, but he was referring to a country with a larger GDP and established infrastructure. Russia was able to bypass the sanctions, continue trading with allies, and most importantly hold power over one of the world’s most important natural resources. It is no wonder that Syrian men are fighting along with Russia against the West and will likely align with Eastern powers for generations to come.”

Dutch Protest: No Farmers, No Food

“The Dutch farmers are pushing back against a new law that plans to reduce nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions by 50% by 2030. These gases are produced by livestock, and some estimate that 30% of livestock farms will close under the new plan. “The honest message … is that not all farmers can continue their business,” Prime Minister Mark Rutte coldly said.

We have an ongoing food supply shortage globally, and this is something that will affect everyone. These farmers are protesting for all of us. Other industries that are known to produce emissions have more relaxed rules under the new restrictions such as aviation, transportation, and construction. Why unfairly target farmers? It is a deliberate attempt to exacerbate the food supply shortage to push forward the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) agenda for the Great Reset. Again, the WEF is transparent about its plans but no one wants to see what is staring them in the face.”

Dominion Voting Systems Linked to Soros

“We already knew the system was rigged – but how far does it go? This picture, albeit poor quality, has been circulating the internet and shows traitor Trudeau “testing” the Dominion Voting System. Standing behind him is none other than Alex Soros, George Soros’ son who is now doing the footwork for his dad.

Rebel News entered the building headquarters for Dominion Voting Systems. The investigative journalist found an odd link as a group linked directly to Soros also works in that building. They attempted to remove their office number from the building directory and even have a guard outside. The journalist is asking all the right questions. What happened to the data stored from prior elections? Is there a backdoor within the system that could be used to tamper with elections? “Accurate, reliable, and transparent,” ironically is their slogan.

The same agency handling our elections has handed mass amounts of money to politicians, on the left, including Hillary Clinton. Dominion Voting Systems has disrupted democracy, and our elections can no longer be trusted. Dead people have mysteriously cast votes, people do not need to show IDs to vote, and there is actual footage of “mules” voting countless times. While I am not one to encourage additional laws, permitting blatant voter fraud to occur is destroying democracy. If the masses knew the truth, we would be propelled further into the inevitable cycle that is leading us to the death of democracy.”

Comment:

Every Nine Months

“The Canadian government is relentless in pushing vaccinations. Health Minister Duclos just announced that “two doses is no longer enough.” We knew that the Canadian government ordered a massive shipment of vaccines, but those who obeyed whether by force or fear thought they were “fully vaccinated” with two doses. He ominously told the public to “get the vaccine that is waiting for you,” as that has been the plan all along.

The Freedom Convoy truckers warned the public that they too were one dose away from being an unvaccinated societal outcast. The day has come that the meaning of “fully vaccinated” has changed – Canadians must receive a dose every nine months indefinitely.

“Nine months is very clear and will help people understand why ‘up-to-date’ is the right way to think about vaccination now,” said Duclos. “‘Fully vaccinated’ makes no sense now. It’s about ‘up-to-date.’ So am I up-to-date in my vaccination? Have I received a vaccination in the last nine months?”

Schwab must be proud of his young globalist leader, Trudeau, who has destroyed a once free nation. “‘Up-to-date’ means you have received your last dose in the past nine months,” said the health czar. “If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great. Please see if you’re eligible for a second or third booster to remain up-to-date.”

The most vulnerable people will be the first test subjects. They are bringing the fourth dosage to nursing homes, the immunocompromised, and of course First Nations communities. No one believed that there would be a third shot, and no one believed that children would be forced to receive vaccines. The truth of the matter is that there is an active war on health to promote the New World Order under the guise of a virus with a 0.02% death rate.”

Kremlin: NATO Preparing for War with Russia

(Footage from Operation Barbarossa, known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War)

I have warned that Russia has felt as if it were on the defensive. They feel that the West and NATO have aligned against them and infringed on their sovereignty. Pope Francis made similar comments when he said that Russia was perhaps “provoked” and invaded Ukraine once they felt backed into a corner from which there was no escape.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently stated that he fears NATO and the West are planning to eventually wage war with Russia. The European Union (EU) recently granted candidacy status to Ukraine after denying them entry for years. They know Ukraine’s debt will be unpayable after the war without Russian reparations which will likely cripple the Russian economy. The war would have ended months ago if Western powers did not intervene and continually provide billions in funding. They are not simply doing a good deed – there is a reason behind their involvement.

Lavrov compared the situation to June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was surprised by the attack, but Germany was not alone. Troops from Romania and Finland helped Germany invade, and later forces from Croatia, Hungary, Italy, and Slovakia were brought in to fight all the way to the outer areas of Moscow.

“Hitler rallied a significant part, if not most, of the European nations under his banner for a war against the Soviet Union,” Lavrov said. “ow, the EU together with NATO are forming another—modern—coalition for a standoff and, ultimately, war with the Russian Federation.” Everyone disregards these remarks simply because they cannot fathom comparing a Jewish identifying leader (Zelensky) to Hitler despite the fact that Zelensky has been seen alongside modern-day Nazi coalitions.

History repeats.

The West’s Refusal to Seek World Peace

The {corrupt, complicit} press {i.e. mass media and Big Tech censorship on social networks} has done nothing but put forward present propaganda and they are driving the world into the arms of death. Once upon a time, the world leaders gathered together for a conference in Munich to discuss WORLD PEACE and SECURITY. Today, they seem to conspire on how to bring the world into the arms of death, perhaps to reduce population and forge a new one-world government with the deranged idea that they can actually wipe both Russia and China off the face of the earth.

{…}

We are looking at the very death of our freedoms. Everything we have built since World War II is now to be tossed into the gutter.

Putin pointed out that the West lied and cheated following the fall of communism. Instead of embracing Russia and a new democratic state, even the Guardian wrote on December 20, 1999, under the headline that the “Kremlin hails ‘peaceful Russian revolution” that power in Russia changed at the ballot box. They reported: “Hailing a “peaceful revolution” in Russian politics for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kremlin officials and Putin supporters relished a relatively harmonious relationship between the legislature and the executive.”

Still, our politicians expanded NATO and rejected peace. If peace was sought, then there was no longer a need for NATO. That would have led to the unemployment of millions. So NATO was not just retained but expanded. In 1997, at the time of the Nato-Russia Founding Act, a treaty designed to create a new relationship between the NATO alliance and Russia, foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov again raised Baker’s “double-dealing” 6 years earlier that NATO would not expand.

This accusation prompted the then US secretary of state, Warren Christopher, to commission an internal report into the claim. The report drew a distinction between side comments made by German politicians, such as Hans-Dietrich Genscher, ruling out NATO expansion, and what was agreed in the treaty text. But that report was disingenuous since numerous people there confirmed the understanding was that NATO would not expand to Russia’s border.

Today, Lithuania announced a partial blockade of the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. This is a deliberate act to provoke war. Kaliningrad is Russian territory and to claim it is now justified because of Ukraine, once again shows how treaties mean nothing, and the politicians of Lithuania, like Zelensky, are willing to sacrifice their people for politics. They gather scheming on how to provoke a Russian invasion for this very purpose of creating World War III. They can no longer maintain this economic system they abused with endless borrowing with no intention of paying anything back. Instead of reform, they want to create war. Our world leaders are delusional if not sheer mad.

Putin and Russians know well that the West lies, cannot be trusted, and our politicians are obsessed with war as their exit strategy from an economic system that is collapsing because they have done nothing but borrow endlessly with no intention of paying anything back. Then Europe required pension funds to buy government bonds which they then took the interest rates to NEGATIVE in 2014 destroying not just the European bond market, but their pension system. When their co-conspirator Schwab and his WEF say you will own nothing and be happy because the government will default on everything and he is trying to pretend they are doing this for you to help with your debt burden.

First, it was manufactured COVID to exercise absolute control. We saw police abusing their power beating people because they did not have on a mask. Now we have Biden saying they need more taxes to prepare for the NEXT pandemic. In my entire life, there was never a pandemic that warranted closing schools and locking down society.

{…}

Worse still, I have been told for weeks now that there are people inside NATO who actually promote war and are using the phrase they intend to “wipe Russia off the Earth,” and this is starting to make the press in the UK and also in Russia.

{…}

It was actually Hitler who ironically saved Europe from what was never really discussed. Hitler was against Stalin who wanted to conquer all of Europe and spread communism. His invasion of Russia curbed that desire. My father was with Patton. He always said that Patton argued that Germany was NOT our enemy – it was Stalin for his Communism and dream of taking all of Europe. Patton wanted to go from Berlin straight into Moscow but the President said no.

The only two major leaders to invade Russia were Hitler and Napoleon. We seem to be headed for a third try. They can threaten China to stand aside, but Xi is not stupid. He knows this thirst for world domination that has been cheered by Soros and Schwab egging on American Neocons who took the mantle from John McCain. If Xi does not unite with Putin, then China will be next. Just listen to the insane words of George Soros who seems to refuse to die and leave the world alone.

Soros’s version of “civilization” is his one-world government as is Schwab’s. He and Schwab think they can now create body parts to keep plugging in to live forever. They refuse to die and refuse to leave the world in peace.

So while Soros is lining the pockets of everyone who would overthrow everything that created world peace since 1945, the very threat to civilization is Soros and Schwab. Unfortunately, our computer would hide under my bed if it had legs. It has revealed our fate, but there seems to be no way to prevent it. These people are pushing for World War III because the economy is collapsing and governments can no longer keep borrowing endlessly. We have reached the end of the road and they cannot kick the can any further.

Hospitalizations More Likely Among Vaccinated

Health organizations would like us to believe that the vaccine lessens symptoms of COVID. Even Justin Trudeau said he was grateful for the vaccines, despite catching COVID twice this year. They cannot hide the fact that vaccinated individuals can catch and transmit the virus. Now, the myth that the vaccine lessens the severity has been exposed.

ResearchGate conducted a study with 18,500 individuals in the control group and a total population of 300,000 participants. They studied people from over 175 different countries and looked at the bigger picture. They found that vaccinated individuals were more likely to end up in the hospital with severe COVID symptoms than the unvaccinated. Even far-left MSN is covering this study. This means there are zero benefits to taking the vaccine. The vaccine mandates were never about health.

Pfizer’s mRNA Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study

“A new bombshell study that was just published by researchers in Sweden found that, within a Petri dish, the synthetic mRNA from the Pfizer vaccine is able to enter human liver cells, and then be reverse-transcribed into spike DNA.

The reason that this is such a big deal is because this scenario was something that both health experts as well as the fact-checkers have said—for over a year now—couldn’t possibly happen.

In fact, to this very day, the CDC’s official website claims the exact opposite is true.”

China Uses COVID Pass to Restrict Movement

People believed that governments would use tracker apps solely for COVID purposes. Sadly, the Chinese are quickly learning the harsh reality – the apps were always intended to control the masses. Over $6 billion (39 billion yuan) has been frozen, and thousands of people are unable to access their bank accounts. A few banks in rural Henan reported bank runs, and residents were planning a protest after finding that their funds were frozen.

Conveniently, the COVID tracing app is required to enter the bank. Users need to scan their QR codes to enter most public places. It has been reported that thousands of COVID-negative individuals had their status changed via the app, restricting their movement and making public places inaccessible.

Numerous depositors were taken to quarantine camps. CNN reported on one individual who was forced to spend the night in a quarantine camp after his code falsely showed he came into contact or was infected with COVID. He was permitted to leave the following day, but since his code was still inactive, he was not permitted to board the train home. As the lockdowns have shown, government tyranny is certainly not restricted to China. If it happened there, it could happen anywhere.

The Bitcoin CME chart adds significantly to my expectation, because the $18.1k CME gap didn’t fill yet even though spot dipped below that level on low weekend volume (retail traders only). Additionally there can be overriding factors at larger scales. I am confident you agree our universe is fractal (or at least that’s a model to consider). I measured the decline of BTC from top of bounce before the crash in May on the CME chart. I measured down from the highest point of the May bounce. Indicates to me the move down did not yet complete. The oscillation around the 1120 for ETH resembles the undamped waffling of a loudspeaker after an impulse signal — as you know differential equations apply. So your assumption is that reversion to the mean probabilities drive the next impulse up, but what if there are overriding factors that generate another downward impulse before your mean reversion is activated. Also the Pi Cycle Bottom indicator crosses (signals) on July 11 and it has called the bottom within 2 days twice before. The Pi Cycle Top indicator has been correct 4 times in Bitcoin’s history. I agree a significant bull trap rally is coming, but there may be other factors outside your assumptions that cause a delay until October. We may only get a bounce to ~$29k (maybe after my expected decline this weekend) and then a pullback in September first. I wish I had time to brush up on the exact methods you’re employing so I could comment more meaninfully and mathematically. I did complete (and top 3 tester) in math courses such as Linear Algebra, Probability and Statitistics Theory, Diff. Eq., Calculus I, II, III, etc. some 37 years ago. But I did not complete a minor in Math although I originally was working on it.

P.S. The impostor Bitcoin going to 0 as I posit, will actually be the Big Bang to drive the legit, legacy protocol Bitcoin to the stratosphere. And I know the exact mechanism because the donations to the miners will fund a massively high hashrate. The Bitcoin price is correlated to the miner’s reward.

(Warning: Bitcoin Is About To Do Something For FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS!🔥)

@Crypto Crew University your E.W.C. is incorrect. Wave 1 can’t extend beyond the start of wave A of the correction. Wave 1 is where market sentiment remains bearish, which is what gives rise to wave 2. There is an A-B-C correction to the December 2018 bottom and then a wave 1 in 2019 followed by terminal impulse wave 2 that retraced more than 61.8% of wave 1 due to the corona dump. That terminal impulse condition requires that wave 4 retrace back below the top of wave 1 which was $13.9k. We are probably still in wave 4 right now and any bull trap bounce to as high as ~$50k should be sold as the price is going to come crashing back down below $13.9k eventually (perhaps Q1 2023).

Comment:

@Crypto Crew University The alternative is that the candle body of wave 2 did not retrace more than 61.8% of wave 1, thus wave 4 is completing now and we will have a wave 5 to a new ATH perhaps by Q1 2023.

Additionally a flat correction requires that A-B-C is a 3-3-5 wave pattern which obviously is not present in the incorrect E.W.C. you presented.

(The Truth about the Massive 2022 Great Recession.)

Kevin indeed there will be a bounce, but eventually this rolls over into the Greater Recession as you have pointed out. And then the VIX will spike. So be prepared to sell the bounce or new ATH later this year or Q1 2023. The incoming bounce will only be the deadcat or final ATH before the egregious recession. Inflation expectations down, but still on a mega-bullish trend. Oil will be $200+ in 2023 simultaneous with a recession. Stagflation on steriods. Catalyst will probably be Russia forced by Lithuania to take the Sulwaki corridor perhaps blamed on the Fed for easing a bit.

I didn’t really believe this when I wrote it. The President in Russia just like the POTUS has limited power. Nothing gets done without the moles in the bureaucracy relaying information to the Davos elite. Also it’s not clear if Russia poisoned dissidents abroad or whether the Five Eyes national security apparatus did it.

Comment:

Perhaps it helps to understand our situation abstractly.

We can become blinded in the myriad of details such as whether we can organize politically to overcome those who wish to enslave us.

Some political invariants which most people refuse to accept as reality…

Regardless of political system (even will be the same with Armstrong’s direct democrazy idea), fact is that the only way human civilization is capable of being cooperative is when the debt bubble is expanding. The corrupt who deal in raw power focus their efforts on the spoils of that huge expanding debt resource, e.g. BlackRock’s complicity in the $100s of billions (up to ~$trillion) awarded to the connected by 2008 subprime bailout corruption which beget and parlayed into the $trillions achieved with the 2020 pLandemic forcing the Fed to award massive MMT to the connected.

Thus any human civilization is always about maximizing theft. This was the astute point made by Curtis Yarvin that maximum power projection is always victorious. It has been for several years essentially my point that ONLY the most ruthless can capture the power vacuum of any collectivized resources (e.g. the power of the collective government). That’s refutation of those who argue we need a virtuous government or monarchy to lead us (in defiance of the wisdom of the Lord in 1 Samuel 8 admonishing us not to do that because the Bible is cognizant of the political power invariants!)

Spiritual awakening is rubbish hopium. Humans are not into spiritual awakening. Never have been, never will be. We humans are by and large livestock. The elite know this. I now know it. And I know why. The Bible knows it.

So from this paradigm we can easily conclude that when the expanding debt spigot reaches its end game, then the ruthless have to look for a different paradigm from which to maximize theft. Instead of stealing (so as to be the most powerful who can capture the power vacuum) via expansion of economic activity through debt expansion, the maximum power projection opportunity cost shifts to outright confiscation and direct theft. This must become much more Orwellian, totalitarian. There will never be any exception!

So where can the elite expand the debt bubble anew? In the developing world! But not in the West, not at least until they do a complete debt and cultural reset in the egregiously, maladapted West. Politically and culturally there is no way to achieve a Western debt reset which both maximizes the power of the ruthless and respects property rights. The only way forward is a massive abolition of property rights via democraZy. Thus collapse of rule of law in the West.

Do you want to spend the remainder of your life trapped in the West without a plan B, fighting and struggling against the tide if and when it takes the turn for the worst? For me, hell no. For what? Why would I choose such a sordid existence unless I have no better alternative.

We can not (easily at least) know the exact timing of when the West becomes intolerable (well maybe we can with sufficient math, data, modeling and research but if preparing my plan A and B options do not require me to know with precision the timing), so thus if I can continue to live and visit the West while having my wealth and assets outside the West (and preferably not even in my name unless I have relinquished my Western citizenship), then that is a nice option to have especially if I can insure that physical travel between the West and greener pastures in the developing world can’t be blocked. I have already explained that I have a situation where I am currently that provides me that freedom of movement across the border which does not require me to fly.

But to not prepare to be able to depart the West is an intransigent fool’s gambit. It’s not likely you’ll be dead before the egregious violations of property rights in the West ensue. Look there are still hoards of gold coins being dug up that were buried after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. People had no better option than to just hide their wealth and forget about it. Repeat incoming.

For the time being only Americans are taxed by their country of citizenship if they establish residence abroad. But this is being eroded and I think eventually abolished entirely, especially as more and more wealthy become expats eroding the home country’s tax base.

> “For example in the UK property tax rates are ~2 – 3% of assessment values (which is already very high!).”

It was explained to me (reiterating what Wikipedia stated) that valuations in the UK have not been reassessed since 1991 (in England and Scotland at least, 2003 in Wales) thus the example was provided to me for a ~£250k market value home currently assessed in the <£40k Band A, thus an effective annual “property tax” (Council Tax on property) of ~0.5% of actual valuation.

Local Councils receive 50% of their funding from said Council tax, 23% from national government grants, and 27% from taxes on businesses:

As in the USA, public community schools are the single largest budget line item at ~35%, with Social Care and Health services comprising another ~30% which will explode higher as the population becomes indigent. Also ~5% on debt servicing which will increase as interest rates rise:

England’s under age 18 demographics are comparable to the U.S., so that’s a very low assessed property tax percentage compared to the U.S. which for example in Cochise County, AZ is assessing ~0.32% in property tax just for education if no local school district (and up to 1.05%, 1.15%, 1.18%, 1.36% in McNeal, Double Adobe, San Simon, Bowie school districts) not including the 0.25% county tax not for education and fire district property taxes:

(divide values by 10 for residential or 6.66 for raw land)

Americans expect schools with extensive sports facilities. And we have a flood of school age illegal migrants who apparently receive free public education. The UK seems to be receiving mostly working age migrants and their offspring mostly in the cities? Also I suspect in the U.S. education property tax has become a gravy train for corruption and SJWs.

Note renters in multi-unit dwellings in the UK do not pay the Council tax which is instead paid by the property owner (aka the landlord). And the cities receive the highest percentage of their funding from the national government.

There was a proposal in England to reassess valuations in 2007 but it ostensibly met with political resistance. But what happens when most of the UK population becomes indigent renters? I expect they would push for an exemption for the indigent (if doesn’t already exist) thus saddling non-multiple dwelling homes with making up the shortfall. If the 3% annual cap on revenue raises applies to the total Council tax collected, then the amounts paid by those who must pay must increase. Something has to give way and the politics will be against those who are not indigent. This is how civilizations collapse. Study the collapse of Rome. Everyone left the city (population dropped from 1.3M to 30k and only cows were grazing in the city center) because the city taxed everything to death.

U.S. property taxes are a percentage. So if property values decline 50% on average globally, then England will be at a ~1% average property tax, more comparable to the ~0.9 – 1.5% in Cochise County, AZ (depending if in a school district). Yet both will need to find a way to raise rates on those who still pay property tax (presuming most will not pay), as so many become wards of the government in the coming economic collapse. And as property valuations decline, thus percentage tax rates must increase.

This is why the Davos elite organized to flood our nations with migrants so that those who actually own stuff will be outnumbered politically — democrazy not democracy.

I expect property tax rates to increase more in the realm of 3 – 5% including in England perhaps at least 2% (although valuations will be ~50% lower). In some places in the U.S. they are already above 2% so those could reach 5%.

The UK also already has Unexplained Wealth Orders confiscations of assets, which I expect to be liberally abused as the economy implodes.

Comment:

Ever touched Bitcoin? Illegal migrant stepped foot on your property line? Alleged cash with drug residue ever carried on your property? All your assets seized by Unexplained Wealth Order (even if you can explain) or Civil Asset Forfeiture (bcz your asset touched criminal activity). What crony judge will help you? Desperation begets impropriety — normalcy and high trust society abandoned. Christian values long since abandoned by our hedonist, materialistic, science-faith-based, arrogant modern culture. My bet is society will not come together instead fractured by financial desperation — we do not even greet our neighbors anymore. Does it fracture into subgroups that can effectively out maneuver their lack of control of the fully corrupted Western national monetary and political system which they are dependent on? No!

These posited property tax increases are survivable, but the risk is a spiral against valuations as effective tax increases along with interest rates rising, causing valuations to ratchet down (as each valuation decline leads to another increases in property taxes to compensate for revenues to spend on the indigent) especially for single-family homes which are too expensive for the downtrodden to rent (unless they rent out rooms, perhaps funded by UBI, in which case the neighborhood valuation plummets due to crime and drug use). Sales, income and capital gains taxes will be gutted by the economic collapse so governments will be forced to tax wealth and property. What else could they tax? Come on this is a no-brainer.

Martin Armstrong argues that Westerners are not indigent and thus will not accept Klaus Schwab’s planned serfdom. But middle class Western wealth is tied up in real estate and the stock market. Both are expected to plummet into 2024. Some will liquidate into fiat to avert the expected market crash, but WW3 supply chain destruction will drive price inflation high eroding the value in terms of expenses but not in terms of crashed asset values. So the strategy of those who retain wealth will be to time their entry into and exit from asset prices. Yet the government is coming after you with capital gains taxes. Most will not sell their primary residence as it is too disruptive (need a place to live, rental leases are 12 months). Real estate has likely seen its pinnacle in real (inflation-adjusted) values due to persistently (although not monotonically) rising interest rates from now on. The majority will see their retirement investment accounts vanquished by the stock market collapse, because the psychology has been the stock market always goes up. Well maybe eventually it goes back up but some must sell at the bottom to pay their mortgage if they lose their job.

Conversely unlike in the past when indigents accepted to wallow in pestilence like pigs, the disenfranchised, entitled-attitude Westerners will expect to live the same quality-of-life they always did and thus applaud when the governments spend money on them. Also those with wealth (the Boomers) are dying and estate taxes will kick in. The youth have no wealth to stay afloat with asset appreciation. All governments other than U.S.A. national government won’t have foreigners buying their Treasury bonds to stampede to safety. If these government outlays on burgeoning indigents are debt financed, then either the central bank has to drive (non-mortgaged) asset price inflation bananas with MMT and/or taxes must increase. High inflation hurts the indigent the most (unless the government subsidizes them which if so thus makes inflation worse, because the indigent spend everything they get). The Fed can’t keep private sector interest rates below the inflation rate forever as they are destroying the pension plans, which will thus skyrocket the government spending to bailout out retirement accounts or which make retirees indigent.

Comment:

The WEF plan is debt will be forgiven in exchange for giving up the rights (forever?) to own private property. The bank takes back the home, the government pays your rent (mortgage payment becomes rent) with UBI so the home has a guaranteed income stream giving it value. U.S. States which attempt to defy the Feds may be denied this assistance, thus their real estate values and local economy enter a death spiral?

The relatively small percentage of Westerners whose assets and wealth are not leveraged to the debt bubble will have no political representation of significance. And what asset would that be? Western real estate will plummet in real terms. Well the typically non-mortgaged real estate (with low <0.1% property taxes) in the developing world is one. Debt forgiveness is a monetary reset which implodes debt-driven demand thus virtually all assets plummet and perhaps in real terms if supply chains are still eviscerated by the end of globalization (WW3, etc). Essentially the only way to survive financially is to get away from anything whose valuation is associated with debt, and escape taxation from any Western nation that is pumped up with debt. Thus if legacy Bitcoin becomes a reserve currency (not this current speculative crap) then maybe it is a way to store value across this chasm if governments don’t declare yours verboten — to a lesser extent also gold which is continually being demonetized. Also any projects whose revenue stream is not exposed to the debt collapse, e.g. value-oriented businesses where individuals only spend a very small fraction of their income and receive a huge emotional, informational, and/or career oriented result (again why I am thinking real Internet businesses such as dating site, AirBnB clone on a truly decentralized block chain).

Armstrong thinks he is so much smarter than the technocracy planners. Yeah right. As if Armstrong has Bill Gates’s 160 IQ. The Davos elite know damn well how they will achieve their enslavement plans. Of course they will not perfectly achieve all their goals, but the general outcome they have already game theoried out and they know damn well what they need to do to achieve their goals. The resetters have ‘thermalization’ on their side, i.e. they are aligning with creative destruction disorder which is the natural trend especially at the Minsky Moment at the end of Western civilization.

The current U.S. real estate market bubble may be nearly as bad as (or worse than?) the 2008 subprime situation because investors have been taking on cheap FHA loans so they only have to put 5% down so they can maximize the number of homes they own with leverage. Thus prices are being driven unaffordably sky high. This drives valuations sky high which drives property tax revenues sky high (e.g. Cochise County’s budget increased 28% for 2022 with no tax rate increases) but governments can never shrink (their personnel and retirement plan commitments) thus when real estate valuations plummet they will have no choice but to raise property taxes.

Nominal values declined just slightly more in the 1929 Great Depression (~30%) than in the 2008 subprime crash (~27%). How many homeowners have 30% equity in their homes? Note that doesn’t reflect that in highly overleveraged markets there were declines in excess of 50% in both cases. Raw land prices fell 67% in Florida due to a speculative bubble. And a land prices fell 50% in Chicago.

If must own Western real estate then preferably in the least developed, least populated, least bubble inflated area. The local government will have the least obligations. When civilization collapses, it is best to avoid civilization. Duh.

Comment:

The Great Depression was deflationary, so homes didn’t decline much in real terms as indicated by the Shiller index document I linked to. Whereas now we are in stagflation because the Minsky Moment has arrived and the civilization has no pathway for real growth unless all the elderly (and all the socialism) are thrown under the bus. Western financial and political system can not survive rising interest rates intact as the same paradigm. Yet there is no politically palatable way to impoverish all the elderly and those who depend on socialism, unless the pain is shared by all. Thus there is no pathway for real growth. So all Western civilization can do is destroy itself. Everyone will want to point the finger of blame. And those who still have any wealth or assets will be prime targets with the government as the henchmen proxy.

After all the devastation, confiscation and war, when interest rates eventually peak and start coming down, after the WEF has engineered a “you will own nothing and be happy ” debt reset so the Fed isn’t attempting to prop up a debt bubble to prevent economic collapse (the collapse will have already happened), then the world can start to grow again. The developing countries and China will be leading the way. The Western countries have been eviscerated culturally by the maladaptions to the massive Western debt bubble. It will require new generations of youth who grew up in poverty with strong families (what the developing world has now) to restore the West. But when will the West finally abandon UBI and socialism? The current youth want it. I doubt the West will return to economic and cultural sanity in my lifetime (given I am already age 57).

Gold Discovery in Uganda Rocks the World

So below ground supply of gold reserves has suddenly increased from 50,000 to 320,000 tonnes. The entire above ground supply of gold is estimated at 190,000 tonnes. This is not good for the future of gold as a store-of-value. This can’t happen to Bitcoin.

Larry Kudlow (fmr Economic Advisor to Trump) and Steve Forbes discussing Boris Johnson’s failure. They point out he essentially delayed and worked against all the benefits that BRExit could have won for the nation. The Davos elite are going to let us have our conservative governments going into WW3 and severe stagflation so that we can’t blame the Minsky Moment on socialists. Our sordid Western future is inescapable at this juncture. The socialists will be back with a venegance in 2026 (mid-terms) and 2028. They need to feed us conservatives some hopium and sow more fire in the belly all those who hate conservatives. Make sure you take full advantage of any respite from the leftists to get your plan B in order!

Comment:

So here is an example of my abstract invariants point. All the power has shifted to those who can steal the most and what sort of society they want so that they can steal the most. And thus we lose all our common sense rights. Even GoFundMe (Big Tech) makes more money posturing to those with the power than to any sort of actual business model. Because there really are no business models in the West that are profitable anymore, other than selling out to power. This will only increasingly become the norm.

> Something very strange just happened with my bank. They reached out to me offering a $300k HELOC at only 4.5%. Are banks now pushing people to leverage their home equity? I could easily use it to park BTC in a legacy address and wait it out since I'm in a position career wise that I will never have an issue making the payments. BTC would have to not perform in a 10 yr period for it to not be worth it. I wonder how many newbs did this last year at the peak.🤯

I think US infrastructure, especially bridge work, will be one of the last underlying systems to collapse. I still might be naive to even contemplate leveraging here, dont rip on me too hard if that's the case lol 👀

It’s absolutely a smart investment assuming you hodl in legacy format Bitcoin address (no altcoins!) and assuming I am correct that merely spending a non-legacy to a legacy insures the miners can’t take your BTC as donations in 2023 (just in case I am correct about the imminent timing of the ANYONECANSPEND attack).

But absolutely I would sell ~40% of hodlings at ~$50k and pay off the HELOC equity loan and then hodl the rest. Assuming you buy BTC below $20k (another opportunity likely in August or September), then you will be still hodling 60% of the BTC you purchased with no cost whatsoever to yourself (other than your loan fees and payments interim).

The other alternative is to sell the home and invest the equity in BTC. But you could do that at the top in December (house prices likely to rebound also) after paying off the HELOC, then you could plow the equity into BTC at the expected $5k bottom in 2023.

I don’t need to even click that Trilema blog article, because I remember what it is about. Essentially leveraging the dying financial system to help it destroy itself by borrowing at low interest rates and buying BTC (especially at bottoms like right now). And he wrote to leave the West immediately.

Which coincidentally is a segue into an important elaboration to my prior post about our abstract situation in the West. Actually there’s something more holistic to consider in terms of the progression of humanity, but I would characterize it as entropic, not spiritual.

Comment:

Actually that Trilema blog post The Universal Plan for Wealth also speaks directly to what my next post will be about.

“If you live in what was the First World back before your grandfather let your stupid mother ruin it -- this is what you must do.”

“The USG full well understands TMSR will end it, and has been deploying the full array of nonsense to try and delay the inevitable.”

“In any case -- and make no mistake about this -- there is not going to be a fiat Reich left within your lifetime. There is a reason TMSR.MPEx is not paying USG any tax while USG.Maersk is paying TMSR everything it can, and then some. That reason is the simple and ineluctable fact that while TMSR is the sovereign, the USG is a mere pretender to sovereignity with no basis in either fact or ideology.

In other words : there will not be a United States tomorrow. The Republic won't have it. These aren't matters that require your approval, be it comprehending or uncomprehending. All you can do in face of the inevitable is to start planning accordingly. Today.”

P.S. hope this idea doesn’t get censored for linking to the Trilema website.

Comment:

I’ll begin my entropic point by quoting some excerpts from perhaps the most important essay I ever wrote in October 2012, Demise of Finance, Rise of Knowledge: The new world order could be the antithesis of an apocalypse. I had correctly predicted much of what has transpired in the past decade. You must read the entire essay — it’s excellent and I was obviously younger, healthier and had the spare time to think. Applied mathematician and medical doctor CoinCube had praised my essay in 2013.

“The economic plague besetting the globe can be entirely explained by the cycle of failure of passive capital, which repeats throughout history.

This futility of finance is mathematically caused by the pervasive human demand for a guaranteed return on savings and a guaranteed insurance in all outcomes, i.e. to avoid risking their knowledge or lack thereof— the generative essence of socialism.

Fortunately, the age of the rise of knowledge capital threatens to breakout of this futile cycle, because in its purest form, knowledge can not be held in a store-of-value (a.k.a. money) and money can only represent some quantity of hard resources and manual labor.”

{…}

“Since recorded history began, the knowledge production share of the economy is inexorably increasing, which is why the cost (i.e. relative value) of hard resources has inexorably declined over the centuries (see the chart). Iron was a precious metal 323 B.C..”

{…}

“Agriculture increased the economy-of-scale of food production, yet it still required three to six months of financing (savings) for the hard resources (e.g. seeds, fertilizer) and manual labor inputs. Mechanized agriculture still required financing the amortized depreciation of the machines. Against the violent protest of the cottage industry Luddites, mass production industry further increased the economy-of-scale of manufactured goods, a.k.a. hardware, but knowledge remained a small component of cost as explained below.”

{…}

“These hard resource capital intensive paradigms put a relatively large amount of passive hard savings at risk in order to create a relatively small amount of productive value, as compared to software.”

{…}

“Knowledge capital (i.e. design, art, engineering, marketing, human resources, software, etc.) is about producing dynamic configurations of systems, because life is not static. Knowledge capital is about maximizing fitness to our diverse and dynamic world.”

{…}

“If the aggregate nominal interest rate is consistently close to the increase in the aggregate nominal production, then passive capital is taking the increase in value without supplying any new knowledge {…} The cycle of failure for financing hard resources and manual labor, is due to the mathematic impossibility of expecting a greater proportion of the nominal GDP due to the aggregate nominal interest rate, when the financed production creates no knowledge, yet knowledge production is increasing as percentage of nominal GDP.”

{…}

“To the degree that knowledge production is not financed, for passive capital to retain its share of GDP (i.e. retain its aggregate net worth), mathematically it must steal from knowledge production.

Thus if knowledge production was increasingly not financeable, then we would expect to see top-down suppression of knowledge production by vested financing interests and widespread theft by those vested interests trying to maintain levels of net worth they would not have in an economy with more knowledge production.”

{…}

“Lets consider if this means that China has been doing its citizens a favor, by accelerating development and modernization of infrastructure {…} It was the way China recycled its trade surplus, without having to increase wages.

The LGUs did not pay market price to the peasants for the land they took for developers. In China, the govt owns all the land. They paid the peasants just enough for a bus ticket to work in sweat shops in the cities.

There is no way to consider it anything but a transfer of wealth from the poor to the vested members of the Communist party (and friends).”

{…}

“Real aggregate interest rates below 0% since 1994 can mathematically only mean that finance is stealing elsewhere, because why else would finance accept a negative return of purchasing power.”

{…}

“Who profited from this price fixing, debt form of globalism? Clearly what was sustained was passive capital via theft by political control, at the expense of knowledge capital formation {…} the passive capital interests which are embedded in the politics of the welfare state. The welfare state caters to those who don't produce enough knowledge to fund themselves.

My thesis is that the wealthy passive capitalists intend to maintain and increase their net worth in fixed and financial investments by any means, e.g. QE-ternity, as the old world they are invested in has reached its futility. The model of passive finance has always been one of privatizing gains and socializing losses, i.e. protecting the net worth of the kings of passive capital. The princes of passive capital such as savers in bonds, stick with their king until the bitter end when the king necessarily steals from them too. The pawns of passive capital such as savers in house equity, have already been sacrificed.”

{…}

“The kings of passive capital are going to own most of the dying hard resource capital, which is apocalyptic for those who stay mired in the passive capital arena.”

{…}

“If knowledge production is increasingly unfinanceable, then finance must decline in relative value in the economy, else prosperity can not be maximized.

Yet in our global economy, finance is huge like the big bun, and renumeration to individualized knowledge production is tiny like the beef. For example in 2011, of Apple's $108 billion in revenue and $26 billion in profit, only $2.5 billion was paid to individual appstore developers, which have provided 30 billion downloaded apps.”

{…}

Comment:

“As explained in the ‘Economy of Knowledge’ and ‘Energy of Knowledge’ sections, knowledge doesn't exist now if it isn't dynamically adaptable in the future. The only systems in nature which can do this, are those that are composed of autonomous agents without top-down control, e.g. ant colonies, the neurons and synapses of the human brain, free markets, and unregulated social networks.

Due to aggregating and concentrating capital via an interest rate, as opposed to dispersing and scattering capital, finance mathematically must over time reduce the quantity of autonomous decisions (at least decisions about who receives funding to produce). Thus if financing were the predominant long-term trend, knowledge could not be.”

{…}

“Since the ownership of knowledge can't be transferred with money, financing incurs the risk of guaranteeing knowledge to spontaneously create itself where it did not already exist. No level of guaranteed interest rate can compensate for this lack of knowledge in the act of financing. What attracts savers to be passive capitalists is the economy-of-scale, where the due diligence effort (i.e. knowledge production) applied does not rise significantly with the amount saved (i.e. loaned) at interest. The collective politics will guarantee (insure) the return by debasing the money as necessary to pay for the lack of knowledge production— another evidence that financing is a centralization paradigm because knowledge can't be owned with money.

Whereas, equity investment has no guaranteed return and requires knowledge production.”

{…}

“Thus, finance and corporations are inherently ownership centralization paradigms. Whereas, knowledge ownership can not be centralized without destroying it.”

{…}

“The new world order is one of enslavement for those reliant on passive capital. It is simultaneously freedom and enormous wealth for those who produce much knowledge capital.”

{…}

“Gold's constant marginal utility assumes passive capital can always passively extract rents via interest rates, i.e. that there is no management overhead limitations and the ability exists to plow unlimited passive capital into interest bearing investments {…} Gold's constant marginal utility does not apply to knowledge production. Gold has a declining marginal utility w.r.t. knowledge investing”

{…}

“This juncture in history is not like prior cycles where when the dow-to-gold ratio declined to less than 1, and gold was able to buy cheaply the assets (e.g. bonds or real estate) that would appreciate the most as the economy recovered.

CLARIFIED: But this {privilege for non-Americans} is being eroded

Comment:

Here we go again with Martin Armstrong spreading incorrect propaganda.

COVID Came from a Lab Said Lancet Chairman

The pLandemic of flu tests wasn’t accidental but there was no ‘release’ — former is efficient and plausible to implement, the latter is complete nonsense and implausible. They are still fooling you with propaganda. The fight against natural treatments for flu symptoms was so they could continue to spread FUD.

Of course the alleged SARS-CoV-2 “virus” that allegedly circulates in the human population, was not created in a lab. What are alleged to be “viruses” are either natural phenomena (not necessarily proven to be the causation of disease, maybe only just a by-product or immune response to disease) and/or by-products of the methodologies employed to culture, visualize and study them (i.e. sort of analogous to a biological research variant of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle). So we could say SARS-CoV-2 originated from a lab (i.e. an illusory or inconsequential fabrication of research) and possibly be entirely correct whilst the correct meaning being something entirely different than the propaganda (i.e. that some diabolical pathogen was engineered orthogonal to nature in a weapons research lab) intended to fool the gullible.

Moreover COVID is not even a virus — there’s a propaganda reason the name of the alleged syndrome is orthogonal to the alleged virus that allegedly causes it. COVID is a designation determined primary from a (highly flawed) PCR test (which Fauci and the CDC even admitted would create false positives among those suffering the flu) created in a lab which essentially tests for bits of genetic material alleged to be from a virus which is alleged to cause disease which has never been well substantiated in research. The genetic material for dozens if not hundreds or more variants of what are alleged to be corona viruses are ostensibly always circulating in the human population. Essentially by testing billions of people for the flu for the first time in human history, a pLandemic was fabricated even though nothing else abnormal was occurring other than iatrogenic treatments for a fabricated illusion. There were no excess deaths nor statistical increase in non-influenza respiratory-like disease, except in countries that implemented draconian measures that made people (mentally and otherwise) ill. So yes we could say that COVID originated from a lab, but again the meaning would be entirely different from what the propaganda meaning is.

Our enslavers are master wordsmiths. And they enslave us with words. Unfortunately Martin is ostensibly not astute enough to realize it. GAFC Martin.

Comment:

I can’t quote nor share the charts from Martin Armstrong’s private blog which is accessible to those who subscribe to his basic level Socrates service. I have no affiliation with that.

Yet I can summarize for you the major points in the most recent private blogs, NATO – Ukraine & Coming War and The Plan to Rig the ’22 Mid-Terms.

The A.I. Socrates system which correlates massive data from around the world and historical data since the dawn of human civilization (so it can find cycles and repeating patterns) provides Forecast Arrays. The International War forecast array is predicting Russia to invade Lithuania and take the Sulwaki Corridor in 2023 (of course after the Lithuania closed it declaring war on Russia, Zelensky Nazis shelling Russian speaking Ukrainians, and NATO breaking all the agreements with Russia forcing Pootin to defend Russia), ongoing war until some severe Panic Cycle escalation by 2026 probably involving WW3/nukes/China. And the U.S. Political Left forecast array has another Panic Cycle following the U.S. elections as it did two years ago.

NATO and our overlords need war as the pretext for enslaving us with capital controls (i.e. confiscating your crypto or preventing cash in/out), canceling elections, canceling due process, martial law, rationing/UBI, etc..

There are now videos circulating showing Zelensky’s Nazi Asov battalions torturing captured Russian soldiers with crucifixion (i.e. slow suffocation) and burning alive at the stake. I remember the videos earlier this year of the Zelensky’s Nazis shooting captured Russian troops in the legs and letting them wither in pain on the concrete.

Martin Armstrong, there is an important link below about the real reason for the attack on the Dutch farmers.

I have tried over the years to educate you about why Bitcoin will become the global reserve currency in a two-tiered monetary system wherein the plebs will be using 666-like, centralized (central bank) digital currencies (CBDCs). Yet you ostensibly continue to refuse to read and comprehend. Thus you continue to gloat whenever cryptocurrency declines from a peak. Note most of the cryptocosm will die eventually (perhaps in 2024) as did most of the Dot.com startups.

Did Amazon.com not survive the Dot.com bubble and disintermediate the world?

You do not seem to fully understand the entire implications of a very fundamental thesis about how the world is being disintermediated from tangible to intangible:

Demise of Finance, Rise of Knowledge.html

Read the following and make sure you also read my technical explanation carefully (not the Elliot Wave ‘terminal impulse’ theory but the technological and game theoretic explanation in the idea updates, scroll down the page):

Bitcoin's Ominous "terminal impulse"

Shelby Moore, {7/14/22 9:54 AM}
Armstrong’s Ethereum monthly Forecast Array chart published on his May 20, 2022 blog Can Cryptocurrencies Survive WWIII?, expected a Long-term and Direction Change bottom in June (after the Direction Change in May for the crash), followed by (in a bottoming context presumably) a slingshot stomp down and then a breakout to the upside Panic Cycle in July, then a pullback from Sep, and then rally from Oct to Jan with a January Long-term top. This concurs with my favored published scenario for a bull trap BTC rebound to ~$50k by Q1 2023.

His private blog Bitcoin the Biggest Ponzi Scheme in History? contains a quarterly forecast array for Bitcoin, suggesting that July moves up from and/or is the low, Oct to Jan will be the relief rally bull trap. He says the monthly forecast array has a Panic Cycle in August — presumably a slingshot following on Ethereum‘s July. He says Monthly Bearish Reversal $10370 not yet elected, thus can be strong rebounds and wild volatility.

> “Btw, understand that the whole cutting Nitrogen use by 30% thing in the Netherlands with the farmers is a pretext to build some kind of large single city network - prototype Smart City perhaps - stretching into Germany and Belgium”

My 2012 essay thesis (and recent follow-up) predicts this. The mechanistic (your term for tangible), financiable world is becoming so devalued (i.e. economically nonviable) w.r.t. individually possessed knowledge (i.e. the posited Knowledge Age) that it must increase economies-of-scale (in blobs of human protoplasm) and efficiencies in costs, technological-integration in a futile attempt to remain viable. Physical efficiencies can no longer compete against information which transmits electronically at the speed-of-light (or actually independent of time but that’s a multiverse concept!). The knowledge-capital-bankrupt masses will huddle together in a dismal attempt to remain economically relevant. To the extent the Knowledge Age can leverage such smart cities and not be retarded by them (e.g. via technological disintermediation and obfuscation), these meat space developments may have viable utility in addition to being massive “reeducation camps” (i.e. 666-like, China’s digital panopticon, The Stepford Wives) for the unenlightened masses. This is all natural and expected by my 2012 essay thesis (and recent follow-up) about nature and the Universe.

> “Yeah, if/when the CBDCs and track & trace bio-surveilance are in place it's game over. The majority of people seem unable to comprehend the importance of this total loss of personal sovereignty, and that they and their offspring will become perpetual digital serfs.”

They won't need to understand, they will naturally embrace the Knowledge Age because that’s where all economic growth will lie.

Game over for buying tangible goods that have been in a race to the abyss for negative profit margins sustained by debt and fiat money printing (i.e. subsidies) — I had pointed out years ago how the marginal-utility-of-debt has gone negative. My 2012 essay explained that China was enslaving its billions to subsidize the global debt bubble. The entire financiable era is huddling together and imploding into totalitarianism because it’s a bankrupt paradigm as my 2012 essay Demise of Finance, Rise of Knowledge thesis posited, predicted and explained. And those people who don’t figure out how to offboard will sink with the totalitarian Titanic.

But why would the decentralized Internet space (which is the critical infrastructure of the Knowledge Age) adopt centralized, totalitarian currencies? That sector would only do so if all decentralized options were assailable and thus nonviable. And that sector will become 99% of the economy in the coming decades as the Industrial Age is economically relegated as the Agricultural Age before. Why? Because knowledge is more valuable — iron was historically a precious metal until technology changed that and as the recent Uganda discovery exemplifies eventually gold will no longer be a precious metal. Long before Musk created his Boring Company, I proposed that autonomous boring bots could following ore veins in the process of exploration causing the supply of gold to skyrocket.

It will only take a few examples of centralized control wrecking the freedom of knowledge accretion to cause knowledge accretion to shift away from CBDCs, analogous to how Russia and China are dehitching from the Western financial system and launching their own monetary system cooperation.

Good luck to the government trying to ban quadrillions of $0.01 transactions. If the government attempts ban encryption (which they can not do!) then we will employ steganography.

Comment:

Armstrong is an absolute idiot about cryptocurrency. No matter how many times I email him to try to politely explain to him, he still continues to erroneously state that the government can confiscate crypto. The private keys for crypto can be held inside someone’s head. How is the government supposed to confiscate that which I have only memorized? Is the government going to waterboard torture a billion people to force them to puke up their private keys? Armstrong is thinking in terms of brick&mortar transactions — he should study game currencies and imagine them entirely decentralized. I’m flabberghast that Martin would write such idiotic statements, given he claims to understand computer science.

The government could confiscate anything centralized, such as preventing conversion to/from the fiat system (although people can always find a way around this in the black market and good luck to the government trying to track billions of people trading favors with their friends or relatives or some decentralized matchmaking blackmarket akin to Localbitcoins but decentralized P2P). But knowledge age actors don’t need fiat — read my 2012 essay! Potentially although far-fetched nearly impossible to organize, the world government via an institution such as the FATF and/or FASB could regulate all Bitcoin miners worldwide forcing them to honor a global blacklist for confiscating BTC (or block transactions) from the actual decentralied ledger. But Bitcoin mining can move, as it has in 2021 left China. So the blacklist would need to have no defection (e.g. El Salvador must first be enslaved by the world government and the IMF) any where on earth or outer space (yes satellites may be sovereign!). And besides I already devised a consensus system that entirely evade such plans of any world government. So Armstrong is simply wrong. Bitcoin does not depend on the power grid, as it could be run entirely off solar and the blocks could be broadcast over shortwave radio. Eventually some governments (e.g. NATO countries to fulfill Deagel’s prediction for their 50 – 75% depopulation) may attempt to implement something like China’s Great Firewall, but this will just cause those societies hitched to the tangible age to implode faster as the knowledge age extracts themselves and their knowledge age capital from Iron Curtain jurisdictions.

Armstrong made the dumbest mistake ever which exemplifies that he is stuck in the atavistic Industrial Age and can’t grok that he just wrote the exact antithesis of the reality of what is coming, “The only thing outside the fiat system as they want to call it is EVERYTHING tangible from real estate, stocks, collectibles, and precious metals.” Everything tangible will become relatively worthless precisely because it can’t evade the societalcide (satellites and drones can monitor you). Whereas everything informational (digital) can be decentralized in such minute granularity, intraceability and obfuscation so as to evade the collapsing societalcide. If you want to end up in the poor house, then listen to Armstrong’s ignorant prognostication.

“Call me old fashion, old-school, or just old. But the most PRACTICAL thing you can do is have pre-1965 silver coins that the average person can recognize and see the date knowing that it is valuable.”

Yep Martin you are ostensibly blinded by your old age and inability to think objectively about this topic. Silver coins are laughable — the most idiotic possible thing someone could do.

“Just because you understand something does not mean everyone does.”

Nobody thinks silver is money any more. Nobody uses coins. Everyone uses digital money. GAFC Martin. You lost touch with society in the decade you were in prison and in the decade or so hence, you have been too busy to see how much the world has changed.

“Cryptocurrencies are TRADING VEHICLES but not a long-term asset class. Our computer called the top in the cryptos, and it has been the ONLY unbiased forecaster out there.”

As was the case for the Dot.com bubble most are just exit scams and schemes and will plummet to $0 eventually. But there is an Amazon.com lurking in the cryptospace and maybe also a Paypal, Twitter, etc.. Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Armstrong’s private blog Bitcoin the Biggest Ponzi Scheme in History? ridicules those who claimed Bitcoin will become a reserve currency. I presume Marty is reacting to my emails to him explaining the technological, economics and game theory mechanism by which the legacy protocol Bitcoin will rise from the ashes of the bust of the cryptocosm bubble. The old fart will ignorantly gloat for now, but will he run away and hide when I am proven correct, as the “152+” IQ Eric S. Raymond did when I was vindicated (e.g. absolute, unequivocal proof of the WTC7 demolition on 9/11) about all our arguments on his blog which he banned me for. Eric stopped blogging in 2020 and disappeared after he was removed by the societalcide from the Open Source Foundation that he helped created, lol. I wonder if Martin will do the same when I am vindicated? I have tried to be nice and communicate in a respective tone to these guys and they are obstinate fools who refuse to learn anything new that goes against their subjective confirmation bias.

Yes crypto peaked in 2021, as it did in 2017, as it did in 2013, as it did in… every single time these troglodyte idiots such as Martin Armstrong and Peter Schiff come out gloating crypto has permanently peaked and will never go higher. Because they do not understand It Is Just Time for the Knowledge Age to rise disintermediating and bankrupting the tangible age that is dying. The Boomers will never, ever understand it.

I guess I should stop trying to communicate this to Boomers. Let them out to pasture as they’re ostensibly too old, brains too ossified to adjust and save themselves.

Comment:

CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: The flaw in Bitcoin is that if 50+% of the miners enforce censorship of transactions, then the minority can not defect. Thus an eventual globalist managed blacklist is eventually plausible. That is what my consensus algorithm fixes. And this is yet another reason that I posit that Bitcoin is a 666 enslavement launched by the global elite (perhaps Rothschild’s think tank).

Comment:

Spain’s rural countryside depopulated because it was economically inefficient to live there:

(Why 70% of Spain is Empty)

Btw, rural Spain looks like a serene place to live if one wants to get away from human civilization yet stay within the Western Europe and escape the cold of the north.

If the sprawling smart tricities are overly planned there could be chaotic, unexpected outcomes:

Complex Cities

That blogger also provides an example of the maladaption the debt bubble has created:

“Our cities in the United States are generally not complex systems, at least not today. Our affluence has made them – as Johnson describes – ‘non-complex.’ Let me explain.

I routinely see cities fix a street – new pavement, new sidewalks, etc… -- then come back a couple of years later and rip it up to replace the pipe underneath. Routinely. This seems insane. Can’t the department that fix streets talk to the people who fix pipes? They would if there truly was a resource problem. If there was scarcity and feedback. If they didn’t, in a complex system, they wouldn’t make it.”

Yet the massive debt bubble and affluence enabled the U.S. to sustain an economically inefficient suburban sprawl that is destined to plummet in value as Americans are forced to choose more efficient walkable cities and their higher population density economies-of-scale:

End of the Suburban Experiment

The Growth Ponzi Scheme

The implications of this is that rural land is not a good investment — likely to become highly liquid as there will be no buyers. Thus there will be no political support to resist Agenda 2030 and its intended banning of human population from rural areas.

Also EVs make more sense when range and off-road capability aren’t a factor anymore.

The following linked argues that rents are rising too fast to prevent a housing bubble:

U.S. Housing Market Real Estate Crash Prediction Metric

Yeah but it’s the stimulus to individuals, the desire to invest in homes in addition to primary residence and the increasing costs to build (including regulatory and permitting), that are forcing rents up. Thus eventually bankrupting everyone who needs to rent. That paradigm is unsustainable. When it eventually implodes it will be a wasteland because the prior trapped demand will be destroyed by massive unemployment and transition to a new paradigm as the first blogger described such as numerous people sharing houses.

Note the first blogger admits some wealthier people may choose to build walled compounds in rural areas, but he says you better factor in the cost of security guards.

It’s silly to think about living in a sparsely populated rural area without gun rights and Castle Doctrine enshrined in law and local practice. Law and order will collapse everywhere in the world as we are observing in Sri Lanka.

Comment:

Exactly as I predicted in my Gist document, here we go towards a two-tiered monetary future where citizens are prevented from hodling the reserve currency of the future:

The European Central Bank has come down hard on Proof-of-Work consensus algorithms—primarily bitcoin. To highlight concerns over Proof-of-Work energy consumption, the report also references previous data claiming that the yearly electricity consumption of bitcoin and ethereum is in line with that of individual countries, such as Spain, the Netherlands, or Austria. Additionally, the ECB argues that the current carbon footprint for Bitcoin and Ethereum as of May 2022 negates target greenhouse gas emission savings for most euro area countries. The report concludes that EU authorities will likely not go forward with plans to restrict the use of fossil fuel cars by the planned date of 2035 without also taking action against Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. In line with the Markets in Crypto-assets (MiCA) Regulation currently under consideration in the European Parliament, 2025 is now the target date for punitive measures targeting Proof-of-Work crypto assets.

‘Experts’ broke the world. But they’re rapidly losing power…

Comment:

Yet again Martin Armstrong is so myopic and doesn’t seem to realize the power structures in Russia and China want WW3 — a scapegoat for them to maintain and consolidate power.

WW3 begins soon. It’s not just Lithuania declaring war on Russia by closing the Russia’s resupply of Kaliningrad across the Sulwaki Corridor, but also all of NATO declaring war on Russia effectively fighting the war in Ukraine. This of course after Zelensky and NATO violated all the agreements since 1991 and his Navi Asov thugs were shelling Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the Donas which forced the initial introduction of Russian troops into Ukraine. Meanwhile Russia is getting rich selling oil at higher prices to the non-aligned world, China is getting cheaper energy than the Western world, and Russia is turning off the gas to demonstrate the W. Europe will fall into the energy and economic abyss should they continue this. And while Germany and Japan shut down their nuclear plants, China builds more and so in the end China will have superior carbon emissions with a growing economy while the West’s societalcide will have self-immolated. It would make sense if China and Russia are bribing our Western leaders to make war and destroy the West. I think Armstrong has the antithesis of the correct hypothesis in that China and Russia want this war and probably helped to create the demise of the West by infiltrating it:

WWIII is not Worth Supporting Ukraine in a Land Grab

Comment:

I did some research on Quora with multiple Mexicans there explaining more fully the situation of gun rights in Mexico. Essentially there is no Castle Doctrine and you should only use provably necessary force against an invader. In other words you should be able to demonstrate that the invader was attacking moving forward not fleeing even after verbal warnings and/or was armed with a gun. My opinion is thus that all encounters should ideally be filmed on surveillance (and if possible also body or headcam) video. Also in Mexico a bribe can solve most problems, except possession of unlicensed firearms or transporting a firearm outside the home without a transport license, results in 6 years in a horrid Mexican jail (which may not be survivable) and very little chance of bribing out of it. Only permanent legal residents and citizens can apply for a gun license in Mexico and it does not need to be renewed annually.

So essentially Mexico has more gun rights than the UK for example. The UK has an egregious, idiotic anti-gun culture and they will never, ever have the right to self-defense again. It’s unlikely Mexico will become more restrictive because the police are entirely incapable of protecting the public and the criminals and cartels are loaded to the gills with illegal guns. Illegal guns are easy to obtain.

How the 1996 Dunblane Massacre Pushed the U.K. to Enact Stricter Gun Laws

“A devastating attack at a Scottish primary school sparked national outcry—and a successful campaign for gun reform”

Quite obvious that soon even shotguns and virtually all gun licenses will effectively become banned. The government continues to find excuses and the Brits go along with it:

UK’s strict gun laws strengthened with new medical arrangements

Plymouth shooting: Who can own a firearm or shotgun in the UK?

Getting a licence is a long and complicated business.

It starts with an application form which asks specific questions about why the individual wants a gun, telling them they need to show "good reason".

This might be that they need it for their profession or sport. A simple wish to own a particular type of firearm is not in itself enough.

They must also prove that they are allowed to have a firearms certificate and pose no danger to public safety or to the peace.

Independent referees have to provide confidential character statements in which they are expected to answer in detail about the applicant's mental state, home life and attitude towards guns.

Officers check the Police National Computer for a criminal record - anyone who has served a prison sentence of more than three years is banned for life from holding a firearms licence.

GPs can be contacted if someone has listed a relevant medical condition, including neurological conditions or mental health disorders.

Otherwise, GPs are contacted after certification, when they can raise concerns. A note is added to the medical records of a firearm certificate holder.

Finally, senior officers must be sure that prospective shotgun holders have a secure location for the weapon, typically a dedicated gun cabinet. Each certificate is valid for five years.

Chief police officers have the right to revoke a licence or not to renew it.

Police chiefs can revoke certificates if they conclude that the holder can no longer be trusted:

In 2020/21, 306 firearm certificates were revoked in England and Wales

Michael Ryan's massacre of 16 people in Hungerford in 1987 led to the banning of all modern semi-automatic rifles, the type of guns that can be fired rapidly without needing to be reloaded.

Nine years later, Thomas Hamilton killed 16 schoolchildren and their teacher when he opened fire at a school in Dunblane. Parliament banned all handguns

Comment:

‘Experts’ broke the world. But they’re rapidly losing power…

The Western societalcide is “trust the experts”. The Brits are k̶n̶e̶e̶{neck} deep in this. Americans also to great extent and even Simon Black of Sovereign Man drinks the junk science Koolaid. And he cheers and incorrectly associates the rise of leftist, populism in South America with the experts losing power (but otherwise has some interesting summaries of the sordid outcome of the technocracy).

At least there is a contingent of Americans who will never agree to strict gun control. America has a staunch pro-gun culture. The Brits will never, ever have a pro-self-defense culture — in fact they are tumbling into the abyss the other direction where the “experts” will render them entirely defenseless and thus incapable of living outside of the mechanistic, CBDC-controlled, Agenda2030 bubble cities. That is a key distinction.

Comment:

Starlink will be operational in basically every country by end of 2023. Peru and the Philippines will both have it in late 2022.

No sign at all the Philippines will relent on their vaccine requirement. And no form of residency nor reasonable pathway to citizenship that doesn’t require reporting to the authorities annually to renew/report. Although apparently 13g immigrant visa holders (i.e. married to a Filipino) can use a power-of-attorney for non-appearance for some years:

Mexico is 1 year extendable for 3 more years temporary residency which can then be converted to permanent residency. Peru has a single step rentista visa that valid indefinitely and after 3 years (or 2 years if you a child born in Peru) apply for citizenship.

Note residency is reasonably easy in Malaysia and they dropped their vaccine requirement. Heck I once rode the Allison Lines ship from Zamboanga City to Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Yet again no pathway to citizenship.

Citizenship in Asia and Russia is essentially impractical for foreigners to obtain.

“As a general rule, Asian countries have yet to adopt the modern paradigm shift that you can be of any ethnicity and be a citizen of any given country. In general, once you’re considered their citizen, Asian countries tend to expect loyalty and sacrifice, regardless of where you live.”

I was told by a Philippines attorney that if I had 10 years of residence in the Philippines I could attempt to apply for citizenship if I renounced my U.S. citizenship. Had to be fluent in Tagalog.

Wow I entirely agree with him on the following experiences:

Here’s an apropos excerpt:

“here’s a part of me that sees Asia as the place where men go to meet women and enjoy warm weather. I’ve grown out of that. I’ve gotten tired of drinking out of a coconut every day. The good news is that when I do want to drink out of a coconut, I can go on vacation . . . whenever I want.”

Yup! Exactly. Philippines was a blast when I was young and not there to live but to just a perpetual vacation. But it turned into a pita when I tried to actual live there, although with more significant investments I could have bettered my daily environment.

Guns rights are reasonable in Peru. Even allows concealed carry, but the gun permit has to be renewed every three years, presumably you can pay someone to do it for you:

More difficult but possible in Mexico after gaining permanent residency only:

At least six separate documents are required to buy a gun: a birth certificate, a letter confirming employment, proof of a clean criminal record from the attorney general’s office in the applicant’s home state, a utility bill with current address, a copy of a government-issued ID and a federal social security number.

Gun owners must register every weapon they have, and people say it’s nearly impossible to secure a concealed carry permit (unless you’re an accountant), something that’s allowed in the majority of U.S. states.

Luciano Segurajauregui Alvarez, a gun advocate who shoots recreationally and competitively, said those permits are routinely denied.

“If I put my papers in … they’re going to take about three to four, even six months, and then send me a letter telling me that it’s the obligation of the state to provide security for all people in Mexico, so your permit is denied,”

No Castle Doctrine in Latin America:

“Peru has equal and opposite force laws so using a handgun for self defense better be valid or well, have a nice long vacation in a Peruvian prison.”

Comment:

It’s not possible to have an identity on *CENTRALIZED*, social media:

“Nothing less than a radical re-thinking of identity online can ensure that freedom is granted to those participating in all online worlds, including social media.

If Musk were to take the path of helping to create a personal protocol owned by no one, it would promote freedom and free speech. It might not boost the value of Musk's Twitter stake, but it would advance the second, more important of his stated goals.”

My comments which were immediately removed as “spam”, lol:

Not intending to be discourteous nor am I am criticizing any specific person, yet noting in general the stupefying ignorance in the comments. This article is explaining that any centralized social media platform will never allow the user to have full control over their online identity. Even if Musk has good intentions, the government can for example force him to take certain actions. The advertisers who fund the platform can force a Musk-run Twitter to take certain actions against your online identity.

Users thus place no value on their online identity if they are not willing to pay to maintain it.

Much safer? No way. They broke the window of my SUV in the parking lot of Walmart in Ensenada. You need to read Mexico Daily to know about the numerous home break-ins and murders of expats. Maybe if you are comparing to some African city inside the U.S. such as Chicago or New Orleans.

Perhaps capital is simply moving across the globe due to a general sense of instability or economic malaise? Puzzling situation, I’m not quite sure what to make of it.”

If you’re wealthy in Latin America, you are target for criminal syndicates. If you are lower middle class in the U.S., you can reduce some costs in the Latin America and mostly the criminal syndicates do not target you, although the petty criminals will (if you are not careful). But Mexico and Peru for example raised their financial requirements for residency and they will continue to do so. They do not want the lower middle class gringos anymore. Lower middle class gringos are going to end up in U.S. trailer parks within a few years.

Comparing Mexico to Chicago is not saying much. Chicago is not the U.S., it is Africa. There are many places to live in the U.S.A. which are much safer with much better infrastructure than Mexico.

For example gas stations owners are routinely kidnapped in Mexico.

Comment:

Trying to complete the formulation and writing down my generative essence expectations for our future.

An undeniable essence of the trend is that humans have no means by which to *HOLISTICALLY* reorganize, upend, or head-off the self-immolating civilization. Voting and protesting will remain impotent. This is because of inertia and the lack of large-scale game theoretic Schelling points. Examples of potentially watershed Schelling points which presumably would launch widescale chaos and breakout from extant inertia include:

1. Attempting to confiscate or ban firearms in the U.S.A.. I doubt this will be attempted. Instead the continued attempts to gradually erode our 2nd Amendment which have been mostly impotent.

2. Radical impoverishment of the Western population which would not only be the pretext for 666-like, enslaving, CBDC-administered UBI, but also presumably a drastic rise in criminality and drug use, financially distressed, desperate local governments, etc..

Westerners are still basing actions on salvaging normalcy and continuation of inertia, e.g. migrating from leftist to more right-oriented U.S. States, or planning to retire in the countryside. This is no threat to self-immolating and/or enslaving organization and order which requires scale that can’t be averted with jurisdiction-arbitrage, e.g. vaccine passports enforced by commercial airlines, the fiat CBDC/UBI/666 monetary reset, the national military and security apparatus, the national law making, the local governments emboldened/entrapped by the power of said large-scale.

I posited why I think that the online/virtual space offers the most potential for a freedom-oriented frontier and safe haven, including for a prospective online decentralized cryptocurrency which does not exist yet and a decentralized digital ecosystem built around it. Maybe I am biased since I still intend to create that. I think my rationale is sound and correct.

It’s possible that there will be no advantages to rural versus city life during this smashup, but I assess a risk to vulnerability to edicts and mass breakdowns in the city, not to mention the noise, crime, dependency (lack of self-sufficiency).

I’ve read of ranch invasions in Argentina. For the moment Western society is fairly safe in rural areas, but a chaotic breakdown may threaten that. Not only is there safety with gun rights but there’s also safety and more resiliency with like-minded, rural neighbors. If those (e.g. Amish) neighbors aren’t already residing in one’s preferential rural location, then one would need to stimulate a community by for example building affordable housing and other infrastructure. The West increasingly attacks any productive endeavor and especially real estate development is a prime gouging target, especially as local governments become more desperate. The financiable, tangible world is self-immolating.

So on the one hand one could establish a safe rural existence now in the West with a meager homestead development, but unless one wants to live for example in Alabama with rednecks or in the cold winter climates of the Amish, it would not be cost effective from a real estate development perspective to stimulate a like-minded community in the U.S.A.. Even if build in a no building permit required area such as some counties of W. Texas, the property taxes are still 10 times higher than in Latin America. I don’t know if it’s the same issues in Spain, but their gun rights suck anyway. In short it’s not the time to be planting large, tangible-world investments in the West. A meager homestead yes (e.g. employing Cochise Country’s owner build permit exemption) leveraging the strong Castle Doctrine gun rights of the U.S. to provide safety in the face of any future, wide scale break down in law & order. But resiliency might be less as lonesome potentially pitted against a future berserk local, State and/or Federal government regime.

Comment:

For example if I wish to build a basketball court, a gym, and jogging oval because I don’t want to be dependent on lockdown edicts, it is entirely impractical for me to build that only for myself (unless I am very wealthy) and especially not in a Western country where I would pay egregious annual taxes on that highly valued infrastructure.

But looking forward in the future if law & order breaks down in impoverishment chaos (and not only) in the West, then if seeking to stimulate a like-minded community then large scale, cash-only real estate development is much more workable in the developing world, because the taxes and regulatory regime is an order-of-magnitude more amenable and less predatory. Although the security situation is (and in many cases MUCH) worse in Latin America, if the priority is for your like-minded community to be left alone and unperturbed, then a developing world government is much less funded, capable and interested, especially not out in the middle of the unpopulated, dirt-cheap land in the desert that I’m looking at in Mexico and Peru. Granted some Asian countries still have inane medical mandates and paranoid residency programs that require you to report annually, but (not including highly developed nations) they are not typically flying drones and using satellite imagery to monitor your rural activities on your private property. They do not require a serial number on every egg your hen lays as is the case in Belgium. The developing world can’t afford that level of insanity yet, but the West is attempting to afford it and pump up their debts. Agenda2030 is accelerated in the developed West, as evidenced by the banning of nitrogen for Dutch farmers and U.N. template building codes adopted by most local governments.

In the West our individualized independence depends on the well functioning of the civilization. In the developing world, there is no dependence — you do only what YOU can. No loans, no subsidies, no debt-based growth oriented paradigm — more brutal, unadulterated and difficult, yet less restricted.

There are tradeoffs to each option, which is why I do not want to be stuck in either option (because I can not predict the future, timing, etc exactly so I need to remain nimble) but I want access to both without needing to fly on a commercial airline. Obviously it’s impossible to have both a Western option and a developing world option accessible without flying in Asia. Eastern Europe can presumably be reached overland from W. Europe. Putting all my eggs in one basket in Asia is not a risk or preference I will choose now — maybe if I was much younger I would. I read that there’s so many expats living in Chang Mai, Thailand that it will feel a bit Western. Ditto maybe Bali, Indonesia? Civilized Asia has inherently better personal security than Latin America because of strict enforcement and Asians are more restrained, reputational focused, less Holfestede Insights Indulgence than Latin Americans. But not necessarily so in far-flung rural areas where rebels, bandits, unethical muslims and criminal gangs operate with impunity.

Note thus populated areas of the developing world are entirely uninteresting to me in terms of these stated tradeoffs and goals. That is not to say the populated areas have no utility to me, probably just don’t want to live in them regularly.

Paraguay has much better gun rights than other Latin American countries, but the climate is a turn off. For me climate is a huge factor because if I can’t be active in my non-water-based sports and have the lifestyle I prefer, then from my perspective given how much my state-of-mind and productivity in all endeavors depends on sustaining my active summer lifestyle year round, what is the point of living anyway?

Comment:

Yarvin sums it up well:

You can only lose the culture war

I suppose that in theory you could massacre all the elves. You don’t seem up for that in practice

{…}

If there was a way to impose hobbit culture only on hobbits, there might be a case. But our country is not configured to support separate rules for elves and hobbits. If it was, it would be a different country. Maybe a better country—but it isn’t.

{…}

For the underdog, making the overdog mad makes the overdog more powerful and dangerous to you, the underdog. You do not want your overdog to become more powerful and dangerous. You want him to become more apathetic and unguarded.

{…}

Power in America is a marriage of elves and hobbits and always will be.

{…}

Your job, when you are a battered wife, is to get out of the situation. To escape, it is sufficient to know what your job isn’t. Most people who do not escape fail to escape because they are doing some other job, which is not their job.

{…}

In a situation of weakness, the only possible reversal must come from strategy rather than struggle.

Hitting your husband back is struggle. Setting a hidden camera before you talk to your husband about his drinking is strategy.

{…}

Any elf knows that the hobbits could indeed overthrow the elves by force tomorrow. All those guns! But that would require hobbits to be something other than hobbits.

Hobbits just want to grill. Hobbits just want to be governed sensibly, in a way that makes sense to hobbits, so that they can just grill. Hobbits have little desire for power and no great talent for it, which is what makes them so easy for the elves to rule. And hobbits are not—not in their hearts—into telling elves how to live their lives.

THE REASON THE DARK ELVES LACK SUFFICIENT POWER TO CONQUER THE RADICAL LEFT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT YET DISINTERMEDIATING THE DYING FINANCIALIZED TANGIBLE AGE:

“The hobbits can only win by taking power from one group of elves, then giving it to another group of elves. Let’s call these groups the high elves and the dark elves. These dark elves are the allies hobbits need to get the quality of government they deserve.

Hobbits will always be governed by elves. But they need to be governed by elves who respect hobbits (as well as elves, dwarves and orcs).”

READ THE REST OF YARVIN’s EXCELLENT ESSAY.

Comment:

An interesting ramification of Yarvin’s essay is that whether the masses lean left or right is probably irrelevant. It’s the power structure that determines the outcomes. So it’s probably irrelevant what the masses think and do because they do not project power.

The radical left is currently empowered over their competitors trying to capture the power vacuum of the society, by the ability to print money out-of-thin-air — they are leveraging the strong dollar and dollar reserve currency status whilst they accelerate its destruction. They are empowered by centralization such as centralized social media.

But the sources of their power will be disintermediated, e.g. legacy Bitcoin will rise, decentralized/P2P social media will rise, etc.

That is why I emphasize a strategy of avoiding becoming collateral damage while the extant dying system self-immolates.

Comment:

The concept of power vacuums and power projection is not intuitive for most people.

So let’s consider the recent disposal of Boris-the-clown. This creates a power vacuum. He was not ruthless enough! How can someone more sane step into this power vacuum when maximum power can not have anything to do with true prosperity and sanity when in face Western civilization is actuarially bankrupt and at the precipice of a Minsky Moment economic collapse?

You see the Westerners mortgaged their future and put themselves in this position where the leftists have maximum power.

This can only be resolved by self-immolation of Western civilization. Game over. Checkmate.

The only frontier that remains is the disintermediation of and thus the acceleration of the bankrupt, financialized, tangible moribund economy. That might remove the source of the empowerment of our overlords, if it creates new economic opportunities for enough of our society, providing an escape value. Otherwise into the societal collapse abyss and dark age we go as the leftists will not relinquish power until the last man standing.

Try to understand it abstractly. It will help you make wise decisions and GTFO of normalcy bias paralysis.

The major urban areas in the West of the U.S. are riddled with homeless druggies. I made the mistake of stopping to fill up gas in Tuscon and there were homeless people loitering around everywhere.

@Poveri Sfigati that merits a long discussion, which we can not do in this format on YT. Hope I can encounter you in a proper forum where we can hash this out properly.

I read today that a Nascar driver was stabbed to death at a gas station in Westminster, CA.. Btw, I vacationed in Puerto Vallarta in 1991. I remember the year was the release of Prince’s Diamond & Pearls single.

@Maria Tolentino Baja, CA is reasonably safe if one is careful about where they stay and where they park their vehicle. I parked my vehicle on the not well lit side of Walmart in Ensenada and they shattered my passenger side window to steal an empty wallet that was in the back seat (and failed to grab the back pack with the expensive laptop). Some areas in and around Los Angeles may be more dangerous to Mexico.

I am not racist meaning I will not prejudge someone only by their race. There are some geniuses of African ancestry. Some of what has happened with the blacks in the U.S. can be attributed to welfare and the drug trade. Before that many more were hardworking (after slavery was abolished) and family oriented. That being said many of the African nations seem to be plagued by tribalism, violence, kleptocracy, warlords, kakistocracy, etc.. I have empathy but that doesn’t mean I want to live in a clusterf*ck.

@Judy Mckee I have lived in the Philippines, Baja California, California, Texas, Arizona, Washington state, and New Orleans. I have visited Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore as well as several other U.S. States. Maybe it depends on which sort of business you will do. For AirBnB’s I think it might be better outside the U.S.A. if not in a saturated place like Colombia, due to the lower property taxes, less druggies, less chance of getting sued, less expensive insurance, etc.. Although the AirBnB I rented in McAllen, TX is persistently fully booked. I suspect a real estate agent will earn the most and most efficiently in the U.S. for example. Texas has been booming. For those of us who generate our income online or are retired, then other considerations take precedence with Texas getting a downgrade from me (compared to high elevation Arizona and the Pacific West Coast) due to its hot a.f. summers.

> “That's because all other countries are sold the American lie. There is so much propaganda in Latin America that the US is paved with gold and the land of the free. Etc. Then they get here and are slaves to the gov. They were freer back home and Mexico is BEAUTIFUL. They crazy lol”

@pinkyhotmessx69 poverty is enslaving and there is a lot of poverty in Mexico. Have you not seen people living in shanties in Tijuana. Yes Mexico is beautiful for you because you are rich in Mexico. They know their country has natural beauty, same as the U.S. has natural beauty. They come to the U.S. to work.

> “@S. Moore As I understand it, there are very few to almost "0" property zoning laws and/or permits required in many west Texas counties. Perhaps it's because so few very people actually live there, or want to live there? 🐍"

@Fumble_ Brewski indeed. Note there are some higher elevations in W. Texas that have a pleasant summer climate but you will be isolated from most of civilization. Actually the Latin Americans are taking it over — they outbreed and migrate whites thus displacing white culture — the U.S.A. will be minority white probably by 2035ish. There is a natural spring pool at the Balmorhea State Park which used to be very nice and tranquil 20 years ago, now overrun with human protoplasm ever day.

No way I am going to have half my life on the other side of the Pacific ocean. The chatter is everyone will need a booster every 3 months from now on. Brandon (and Bill Gates) already warned us the next pLandemic is coming.

> “@S. Moore Which town(s) do you recommend I check up? ( I am not American?”

@chac cmi that depends on what you want? I am quite pleased with Sierra Vista, AZ where I am now. The climate is nice, and the town is charming and has everything I need. You could check out the surrounding towns such as Wilcox and Brisbee as well. If you can handle a hot climate, there many smaller towns throughout Texas for example. Idaho and Utah will have small towns with more traditional American values, but the winters are colder. Between Reno and Salt Lake City there are smaller towns and communities. Probably ditto from Reno heading down before Las Vegas. Avoid the low elevation Arizona and Nevada counties and big cities! if you into more verdant with mosquitoes then maybe small towns in the Southeast of the U.S. such as Tennessee although I have not visited there. Also some small towns in CA, OR and WA states. The U.S. for now is a driving culture. Get yourself a fuel efficient vehicle and roam.

Comment:

So let’s apply this abstract model to expectations for 2023 and 2024, possibly also applicable to 2025 forward for a couple to four years as well.

There’s an attempt to strip radical left ‘elves’ of political power, e.g. the U.S. Supreme Court was instructed by the radicals to make many rulings to anger the Demonrats, Boris-the-clown disposed, Demonrats going to be challenged at this year’s midterm elections likely to end up with a lameduck POTUS Brandon in 2023 and 2024. But there is no moderate/centrist power strong enough to capture the power vacuum this exposes. And certainly the radical right is not going to grab power with a military coup and genocide the ‘elves’.

So the radical left will leverage all their power to create crises that shift authority to their bureaucrats and Deep State swamp (e.g. as they did with CDC/NIH director Fauci in the 2020 pLandemic on Trump’s watch) and this can involve the complicit judges, executive orders, clandestine operations (remember Operation Fast & Furious and presumably analogous in Ukraine), etc..

Expect 2023 and 2024 to be the years from stagflation and shortages hell as the radicals push Pootin to shut off the energy to Europe as that is his only option to pressure NATO to reopen Russia’s unfettered access to the Sulwaki Corridor. They will push Putin until he is eventually forced to invade which automatically triggers war with NATO.

I suspect if Trump is on the verge of being POTUS again in November 2024, they will attempt to rig the election and if that fails (which I predict it will because Rothschild/Soros et al wants to radicalize the radical left) then in 2025 the radical left will go absolutely berserk in terms of fomenting WW3, rationing, totalitarian and stagflation hell. And probably have the Republicans supporting much of it because Republicans love war also! They key is international war, as that is the excuse for capital controls and all sorts of totalitarian hell. Domestic civil war (e.g. a right wing group executes Brandon) could be another excuse for restricting our freedoms.

In short, life is going to become much more totalitarian, difficult and arduous. This brief respite we may get in Q4 2022 may be the last from these levels of moderate grief for some years. Future relief could be from much severe levels of pain.

I can not emphasize enough that Western civilization is in self-immolation mode. I know this is difficult to accept and act on. Humans are incapable of perceiving the exponential function until it is too late for them to act.

Another thought is the bearish, engulfing semi-annual candle on the stock market (and Bitcoin) which last occurred in the 1970s. The Millennials are coming to mature adults and are driving a lot of demand, which was the analogous effect of the Boomers in the 1970s. Yet the distinction is we didn’t have the societalcide in the 1970s and the Boomers outstripped by far the Silent Generation before them. Whereas we have now a battle between the needs of the Millinneals and those of the Boomers who hang on to everything trying to kick-the-can of debt collapse which is destroying Western civilization. The Boomers may be the most selfish generation ever.

Comment:

Another reason the risk-on markets will be spooked again is inflation is becoming sticky and there are factors which can continue to drive CPI higher even if oil and commodities decline (not to mention we appear to be seeing the start of a bounce in those). Also the implications of this are depressing. We have an inflation spiral ahead. Additionally California will send out the stimulus checks in October and that’s also when Biden will stop draining the U.S. petroleum reserve.

(3 Reasons why the Fed will "Paul Volcker" CRASH Markets.)

Comment:

An economic collapse is needed to thwart spiraling, sticky inflation. The supply chains have been wrecked (intentionally by leftists). Only the demand side can be modulated now. I just returned from Mexico. Beef is 3 times more expensive in the U.S. (even compared to the UK) because during the pLandemic many meat processors went bankrupt. The consolidation has created a monopolistic processing industry which is squeezing the cattle producers who are decreasing their herds because they have no pricing power. Yet the processing industry sets the prices as high as the market will bear, raking in insane profits.

Comment:

Unlike in the 1970s, spikes in price inflation aren’t leading to massive unemployment. Instead more like before the Dotcom and 2008 crash. Duh! Because Westerners can pay the higher prices as they’re heavily invested in assets that have gone up more than inflation, e.g. stocks and housing. The massive unemployment won’t happen until the massive implosion of investment assets. Also the Western governments are subsidizing those who are not invested.

SunZoomSpark, {7/20/22 4:03 PM}
I finally got round to watching this Special Solari Report: Mass Formation: A Decoy for Digital Concentration Camps with Dr. Peter Breggin () a discussion hosted by Catherine Austin-Fitts.

(I'm posting this as information rather than intending to start a discussion.)

Many who’ve seen Mattias Desmet being interviewed these last months on his mass formation theory may have been mislead to some extent by his superficial explanation, compared to the much more bold statements in his book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism

()Dr. Peter Breggin for the Doctors for Covid Ethics Symposium.
“Peter’s resume, credentials and experience in the field of psychology and psychiatry are second to none. His nickname is “the conscience of psychiatry.” Somehow the theory of mass formation came up – and it turned out Peter shared my criticisms but from a place of much greater expertise.“

The “meat” of the discussion starts at 23:48 mins in.

"Mass Formation is a theory that has circulated over the last year. My immediate reaction upon hearing it was that I could not fathom why anyone would take it seriously. It was proposed by a Belgian professor named Mattias Desmet.”

{…}

“Our destiny is to confront the evil before us. We are not made safe by theories that distract us from seeing the control grid that is steadily invading all aspects of our life and work or identifying and stopping the people who are lavishly spending our money and resources to build it.”

Dr. Breggin likens Desmet’s main theory with Freud’s Oedipus Complex, which was formulated (either consciously or unconsciously) to give air-cover to sexual predators by betraying his patients with assertions that stories of abuse were fantasies; that children lust after their parents with primitive sexual instincts. In contrast to his many video interviews, in his book, Desmet’s essential point is that all the people who are thinking for themselves about what is going on behind the scenes are mentally disturbed. That we have overwhelming needs to simplify things by thinking up conspiracy theories – as if that’s simplifying things.

Austin-Fitts says Desmet’s book panders to people who realise something unnatural is happening, which reminds them of a hypnotic trance, but who don’t want to look in the mirror at themselves and realise that they are the receiving end of military grade neurological weapons, and that their smart phone is one method of delivering them. We’re watching massive force to herd people into a position where they jump into the coral of the official narrative. But Desmet claims they’ve created the fear themselves from primitive Freudian needs for creating authoritarian leaders. And he states that we don’t need to back out of the control grid, just shift our consciousness, then the authoritarianism will go away (that we allowed to happen anyway due to our stupidity). And of course we don’t have to do anything, just stay on your couch like a psychotherapist’s QAnon. No need to take on evil or fight for freedom.

Dr. Breggin points out the difference with the American Revolution compared to the French Revolution was that the former was conservative, it said just leave us alone Great Britain, we want to be free. The French Revolution said we’re great European intellectuals and we wish to change everything: take down the Church, take down private property and that’s exactly what’s being talked about now. The rights of the individual against the Utopian collective. Austin-Fitts likens what we’re experiencing to the Bolsheviks. It ends in genocide.

They discuss Political Ponerology , A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes (a concept popularized by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski, in his book (Zbigniew Brzezinski blocked its publication) who advocated using the fields of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and history to account for such phenomena as aggressive war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and despotism.).

SunZoomSpark, {7/20/22 4:03 PM}
“A certain % of the population is born without empathy … and they are excellent at finding each other and organising for political advantage … the rest of the human race cannot fathom that a few people don’t have empathy … They cannot fathom that the other person is channelling real evil.”

She goes on to say that Łobaczewski points out that as long as the population can’t fathom this dynamic, they are sitting ducks. Once they do realise it exists, they stop allowing the psychopaths making them neurotic and can begin to use successful strategies and coping mechanisms once they break through. We need to realise we are dealing with evil and we can outwit it. If we can’t face it, God can’t fix it.

Dr. Breggin observes that the profile of globalist predators is the opposite to the average person. They don’t identify with country, fellow feeling, do not believe in God, they’re hyper-materialists, because they don’t possess empathy. In some sense they have an autism to the rest of the world. They can’t see them as people. Even their children they see as objects. They cannot make friends with humanity. Austin-Fitts adds that the whole message of “Mr Global” is that people are not worth the effort. She likens Desmet’s Mass Formation to psychological castration.

Shelby Moore, {7/20/22 4:46 PM}

Fitts is correct but I augment with my insight that the elite are serving a purpose. Humanity fucked themselves in the ass with debt. And humanity are sheep focused only on parochial issues (the ass of the sheep in front of them). I had an interesting experience yesterday in the gym. I went to the back of the Zumba room to jump and they stopped the music and the entire class to come scold me for being out-of-sync. One participant said, “you are only allowed to do Zumba in here.” Really these are Americans! Can you imagine how fucked in the head most people are. I exited saying, “your zumba is too slow.”

I try to love humanity but every time I try to be myself, humanity reminds me why I agree with Bill Gates.

What is coming now to Western Civilization is entirely deserved. And it will not be thwarted by any awakening.

My take is more inline with 1 Samuel 8. The people were warned.

CDC Stops Reporting Cruise Ship COVID Outbreaks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will no longer report COVID outbreaks on cruise ships. Per the CDC’s website:

> “As of July 18, 2022, CDC’s COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships is no longer in
> effect. CDC will continue to publish guidance to help cruise ships continue to
> provide a safer and healthier environment for passengers, crew and
> communities going forward.”

Clearly, this is an attempt to hide the fact that the vaccinated are spreading and contracting COVID, possibly more frequently than the unvaccinated. Nearly all cruise liners have required staff and passengers to be “fully vaccinated” before boarding. Yet, there are countless stories of COVID outbreaks on ships with 100% vaccination rates. So the cruise industry lost over $63 billion between 2020 and 2021 for absolutely no reason.

Shelby Moore, {7/22/22 7:50 AM}
I need to attempt some sleep before commenting more about the following linked. I did some research on the water well situation in Arizona which I will share. First read the following while I am sleeping.

Climate Engineering: 40 Million in US West Without Water in 2023

I didn’t watch that video yet.

Shelby Moore, {7/22/22 7:51 PM}
As I explained in the voice messages, I will not just accept that person’s claim that the cause of the water crisis is chemtrails. Climate change is caused by the Maunder Minimum underway. Nevertheless the water crisis is real and probably there’s concerted effort to make it a crisis and leverage the crisis for political purposes.

Wikipedia: California drought manipulation conspiracy theory

So it appears to target the beef industry but they might shut off water to 25 – 40 millions first to get the public-at-large to chastise the beef industry:

The primary use of river water in the basin is “grasses,” he said.

“Eighty percent of Colorado River water is used for agriculture and 80% of that is used for forage crops like alfalfa

{…}

“But at the same elevation, Arizona, California and Mexico will be cut off entirely. We’re 150 feet from losing access to the Colorado River, and the rate of decline is accelerating,” he said. “The burden of shortage can’t be borne by any community or sector. We’re 150 feet from 25 million Americans losing access to the river.”

Methane is emphasized as a key GHG to reduce but TPTB haven’t been able to apply carbon taxes, so ostensibly they have decide to attack beef in the West by attacking the water supply. The takeaway is not going to be able to tax your non-commercial cow on your private land any time soon, especially not in Mexico which does not have the tax regime to enforce draconian policies towards individual landowners but as the West’s politics turns toward ideological scapegoating-on-steriods, the West does have the invasive tax authorities and enforcement regimes to essentially ban any activity on private land the ratcheting ideological mass psychosis inflicts on itself 🤮💩🤦🏻:

Slate: Who Hung the Colorado River Out to Dry?

“In my reporting, when I was talking to ranchers in Colorado and Wyoming, I found that even if they don’t need all the water they’re allowed to take in a given year, they take it all anyway and they dump it out. That way, they can tell the state that they take their water every single year and they don’t risk losing their rights. When you multiply that by thousands and thousands of water users, you have a pretty extraordinary inefficiency right there.”

{…}

“ cities didn’t exist in the mid-1800s, so they have very junior water rights now, even though that’s where most of the people are. So literally the largest volume of water goes to the people in places with the deepest historical roots.”

{…}

“Because of how much water is used to grow alfalfa to feed cattle to provide meat, the research suggests that if Americans stopped eating meat just one day a week, that alone would translate to a savings of water equivalent to the entire flow of the river. Were that ever to happen, that would solve the West’s water problems in its entirety for a long time to come.”

NPR: How A Historical Blunder Helped Create The Water Crisis In The West

Cotton is one of the most water-intensive crops that farmers can grow. It's not the most — grasses, like alfalfa, which are also grown in abundance, use far more water. But the long list of options, cotton uses about six times as much water as growing a crop of lettuce and about 60 percent more than growing wheat. Cotton has been a staple of Arizona's agriculture economy for many years. It's in decline. There's much less of it today than there used to be, but there's still more than 100,000 acres of cotton grown in Arizona.

Arizona is probably the worst off when it comes to water of the seven states in the Colorado River Basin, so that decision to continue to use its water to grow one of the thirstiest crops is something that caught our attention very early in our reporting. ... When you look at cotton, it's not actually a really good business. There's a glut of cotton on the market, there's not a lot of demand for it, and in recent years the price has been really low, so it wouldn't appear to be a very good business decision for farmers. What we found is that under the U.S. farm bill, the federal government heavily subsidizes cotton, it subsidizes other crops but no crop in Arizona received more money than cotton through a variety of forms. The farmers that I spoke with basically said that this money helps them bridge the gap between good years and bad years and keeps them in the black. If they didn't grow cotton, they wouldn't be eligible for as much money. Their entire farming operations would likely suffer.

On how much water it takes to grow alfalfa, which is grown to feed cows

If you were to pick any one crop that uses the most water in the Colorado River Basin, it's alfalfa. There's a lot of surprising aspects to alfalfa usage, not just that it supports our meat and dairy industries but a lot of it is actually exported to support other countries' meat and dairy industries. There's large alfalfa farms in Southern California and southern Arizona for example that are owned by the United Arab Emirates, or other Middle Eastern countries. I calculated, based on the very high water intensity of say a steak, you can calculate that if Americans theoretically ate one less meal of meat each week it would save an amount of water that could be the equivalent of the entire annual flow of the Colorado River.

On one of the massive geo-engineering projects that were built to carry water from the river to the arid lands in the West

The Navajo Generating Station is a three-generator, coal-fired plant. It's one of the largest in the country, and it sits in the northern edge of Arizona along the Colorado River, outside the town of Page as a phenomenally massive monument to industry. It sits in an otherwise plain and open wilderness landscape, red sandstone spires and desert buttes, and then all of a sudden is this enormous, thrumming, loud facility with three smokestacks that reach almost 800 feet into the air. It consumes about 22,000 tons of coal each and powers a number of Southwestern cities, but mainly provides the power to move water through the Central Arizona Project canal into the middle of Arizona. ...

About 300 miles south of Page along the Colorado River, the river sits in a small reservoir called Lake Havasu, and from Lake Havasu there's a couple of intake pipes that move the water out of the river, about 10 percent of the flow of the river, carry it up a total elevation gain of about 3,000 feet and across 336 miles through the cities of Phoenix and Tucson into the central part of the state of Arizona. Moving that much water up that much elevation gain requires an enormous amount of energy, and to acquire that energy the federal government basically built the Navajo Generating Station in the early 1970s.

Agenda 2030 underway:

NY Times: Wall Street Eyes Billions in the Colorado’s Water

Investor interest in the river could redefine century-old rules for who controls one of the most valuable economic resources in the United States.

There is a myth about water in the Western United States, which is that there is not enough of it. But those who deal closely with water will tell you this is false. There is plenty. It is just in the wrong places.

Cibola, Ariz., is one of the wrong places. Home to about 300 people, depending on what time of year you’re counting, the town sits on the California border, in a stretch of the Sonoran Desert encircled by fanglike mountains and seemingly dead rocky terrain. Driving across the expanse, where the temperature often hovers near 115 degrees, I found myself comforted by the sight of an oncoming eighteen-wheeler carrying bales of hay, which at least implied the existence of something living where I was headed.

Thanks to the Colorado River, which meanders through town, Cibola is a verdant oasis that chatters at dusk with swooping birds. Along both banks, a few hundred acres produce lush alfalfa and cotton, amid one of the more arid and menacing environments in North America.

This scene is unlikely to last, though. A few years ago a firm called Greenstone, a subsidiary of a subsidiary of the financial-services conglomerate MassMutual, quietly bought the rights to most of Cibola’s water. Greenstone then moved to sell the water to one of the right places: Queen Creek, a fast-growing suburb of Phoenix 175 miles away, full of tract houses and backyard pools.

Transferring water from agricultural communities to cities, though often contentious, is not a new practice. Much of the West, including Los Angeles and Las Vegas, was made by moving water. What is new is for private investors — in this case an investment fund in Phoenix, with owners on the East Coast — to exert that power.

When I reached Holly Irwin, a county supervisor who lives in Cibola, by phone a couple of weeks after my visit, she was angry.

“They’re going to make big bucks off the water, and who’s going to suffer?” she said. “It’s the rural counties going up against big money.”

{…}

To proponents of open markets, water is underpriced and consequently overused. In theory, a market-based approach discourages wasteful low-value water uses, especially in agriculture, which consumes more than 70 percent of the water in the Southwest, and creates incentives for private enterprise to become involved. Investors and the environment may benefit, but water will almost certainly be more expensive.

{…}

“The idea is, if you pay the farmers enough, they’ll go away,” said Brad Udall, a water and climate researcher at Colorado State University whose family have been lawmakers in the region for 60 years.

It’s not necessarily a new concept — in parts of Southern California, farmers have been paid for more than a decade to fallow land. Nor is it official policy yet. But Mr. Eklund would like it to be.

Comment:

Armstrong posted two blogs that argue there will be a separation of the U.S. based on different politics:

However the cities lean more and more left. And the cities are growing. Unless the conservatives can find a way to take back control of the election process and to remove the right to vote from city dwellers, I think there are much fewer Southern States that can remain Republican such as Alabama will never become leftist. I have my strong doubts about whether Florida and Texas can remain Republican as the global economic implosion hits.

I don’t see this political strife culminating anytime soon. The Westerners will exhaust all their energy and lifeblood and be dead before any resolutions.

Comment:

The water issue in the Western U.S.A. will probably end up impacting the food supply later this year and/or 2023 forward, and possibly also rationing in the cities that depend on the Colorado river such as the mega-cities Tucson and Phoenix. Should not impact wells in rural land in Cochise county, AZ. None of the farmers nor towns in Cochise county depend on water from the Colorado river.

Looks like some if not all areas of Cochise county are headed towards restricting irrigation wells but not wells for residential use, although there’s some investors with clout (e.g. son of Warren Buffett) have been buying up farm land around here.

Well permits are virtually impossible to obtain in Mexico, at least especially so in the Baja California Sur area which is overallocated (). Need to either buy water rights, collect rain water, haul in water and/or drill and hide an illegal well.

With the recession incoming due to rising interest rates and supply side driven inflation, the supply and prices of real estate should increase and decrease respectively.

If anything a food crisis in the U.S. should drive prices higher which should increase the demand for Mexican food imports, which should thus further buffer politically Mexican agriculture against Agenda 2030. Also Mexicans simply violate the law when necessary. We could even see the drug cartels diversify more into farming. They even extort the avocado farms.

These droughts should help garnish popular political support to banish farming from drought stricken regions.

My point from my voice messages remains that the Western world is financially maladapted. And thus there will be massive cannibalization of the finances, assets and wealth structure.

It’s not quite clear if such anticipated dysfunction in the West will eventually result in effective confiscation or ruin (e.g. through taxation) of rural residential homesteads. I think the probabilities are reasonable enough to make it worthwhile to purse a rural homestead in Cochise county, but the assurance going forward is insufficient for me to trust to put all my eggs in one basket. It is difficult to predict the myriad of machinations and ratcheting going forward as the West cascades towards deflation/devolution of its $trillions debt bubble notional value.

Although the developing world will present issues such as (in Latin America) more crime, less infrastructure, reduced gun rights, cultural differences, more noise if have neighbors, etc., the food supply, building permitting, real estate taxation and government intrusion of land use is likely to be more favorable. As the climate cools due to the Maunder Minimum which will accelerate later this decade until a 2050 peak, the warmer ocean temperatures and climate nearer to the tropics might sustain growing seasons better, although drought remains a threat.

My overall thesis remains that we should not 100% trust to have all our financial and homestead assets solely in the West. Also for myself given I don’t want to rely on public infrastructure for sports facilities (e.g. a basketball court) then unless I want to pay egregious property taxes in the West, it is better to place such infrastructure in a developing country which essentially will not tax it nor require any onerous permitting for it.

In addition to the end of the release from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve in October, the U.S. supply chain could take a massive hit in Q4 as well. Expect $240 oil in 2023. Note I only have a spike bull trap rally into September on my published trading idea, and then back down to egregious lows until the Fed pivots Q2 2023:

TPTB running the freak show in WA D.C. want to impoverish the Americans before the end of Brandon’s term, so as to create dependency on pushing out UBI directly with a new enslaving 666-like central bank digital currency (CBDC) which will probably be launched in earnest during the projected 2024 market abyss. We will make more money shorting the markets than long positions over the next over the next 1.5 years.

(Biden averts freight railroad strike - for now)

“But the action by Biden could be only a short-term solution, setting the clock is ticking towards a possible work stoppage in 60 days.

The Presidential Emergency Board that Biden named Friday has 30 days to try to find a solution satisfactory to both sides. If either rejects it, a second 30-day "cooling off" period would begin in which the two sides try to reach a deal.

Only at the end of that second cooling-off period, which would be in mid-September, could the 12 unions that represent the railroad workers go on strike, or the nation's major railroads could lock out the workers and try to convince Congress to intervene and impose a labor deal more to their liking.”

Jacquelyn all of us are suffering emotionally and mentally from this concerted attack by the powers that be on Western civilization.

Comment:

Armstrong’s mistake is that his solution doesn’t factor in political inertia:

The Solution to this Insanity

For the analogous reason that Caesar Crossing the Rubicon failed (he was assassinated and Rome still collapsed). The Westerners are so maladapted to the end of the Industrial Age that will follow in the wake of the end of the financialization bubble, that there is no political support whatsoever for anything but kicking-the-can.

Armstrong is quite naive if he thinks the the NWO will not come to fruition. Armstrong ostensibly fails to understand the inertia that is driving this outcome.

Comment:

You may not be allowed to grow potatoes nor keep any livestock. The Agenda 2030 plan includes banning any form of agriculture that is not controlled by Bill Gates and our enslavers at the Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum. You can see this has been put into motion already by lowering the level of fertilizers that we be allowed in Canada and the Netherlands, to bankrupt the farmers. Green house gas limits will be one of the means that they enslave us destroying all independent businesses, so only their cronies can produce anything which they will then ration to us via the incoming, 666-like digital panopticon central bank digital currencies which will be adopted when UBI is doled out directly (digital stimulus checks) to unemployed and homeless people so they can afford to eat. This is why they are collapsing the economy into the abyss by 2024. Then WW3 by 2025 which they have been pushing. The Western mass media is lying about everything, including Putin, Ukraine and Russia. The major social networks are censoring most truthful comments. Western civilization is committing suicide (aka societalcide) against itself.

Armstrong on Worldwide Inflation

Shelby Moore, {7/25/22 8:24 PM}
{In reply to __________}
The dollar will be the last to experience any form of hyperinflation. I doubt very much hyperinflation in the West, because that would relieve the masses of their debt burden. The hyperinflations will only be in failed developing countries.

The way this ends we will wish for hyperinflation as a better alternative. Instead they leverage the CBDCs to enslave the Westerners on a rationing pogrom.

I don’t believe there will be a monetary crisis until after WW3 when the dollar loses its hegemony. And it will be hyperinflation only relative to Bitcoin, not relative to goods and services.

The point is that inflation is not hyperinflation. Hyperinflation only happens when the government collapses.

The Western governments are not going to collapse. They will enslave the population instead and force rationing as the solution.

The inflation will go very high, but that is not hyperinflation which is always instead a monetary phenomena when the population abandons the national currency. We are no where near hyperinflation. Not going to happen in any Western nation.

The model for our enslavement is not monetary collapse. It is instead a pogrom. The problem is our governments are not weak. Because our populations are very, very, very weak and dependent on the government.

You have an incorrect model of the collapse. Governments are strong. People are weak. In the past, people were strong and fought back. There will not be another WW2 trench warfare killing millions in Europe. You could not find a million men in all of W. Europe willing to die for their nation in a trench.

There is a hyperinflation. It has been going on since 2009. It is every currency as priced in Bitcoin. But the masses will not ever make it to Bitcoin. So there will be no mass hyperinflation. What is happening is the world is being returned to the ancient times where 99% were slaves. Only 1% will have Bitcoin after the ANYONECANSPEND attack.

The last thing our overlords want is hyperinflation in the West. That would evidence that the people are strong and capable of resisting enslavement.

Comment:

> “Any Plan B or C location options I think would be far more sensible if living amongst likeminded individuals (I realise this would be difficult or impossible for certain personality types) rather than attempting to go it alone as an innocent abroad, ripe for the picking. I think this is where we need to link to some kind of network of people in numerous countries - our extended "tribe" if you like.”

Sensible in some quaint fantasy?

One of the main reasons for a developing country option is the hypothesis that we will be able to rely on their society continuing to function, e.g. food, Chinese manufactured goods and petrol supply to continue to be available. Thus having like-minded neighbors may be less of a necessity. And having no neighbors at all might be even better given the crime that accompanies population in Latin America or the noise, resentment (crab bucket mentality) and expectations of forced charity in the rural, poverty stricken Philippines.

A posited problem with the like-minded rural neighbors in the West is if the society is so fucked up that like-minded really do not overcome the main issues. Also I do not think there is really anything such as like-minded when the shit gets really bad most people turn. We only really know who the capable are when the shit gets as bad as it will.

For me the only practical like-minded is a functioning society and economy, something like Florida. The society is somewhat like-minded as long as the debt bubble is still being sustained. Let’s see what it looks like when the debt is moribund with sky high interest rates.

The like-minded I like to depend on in the West is an AR-15 assault rifle. Come fucking with my homestead and I apply the Castle and Stand Your Ground rules.

Maybe I am wrong and one will be able to form a quaint, like-minded rural community that did not already exist, but I doubt it. Easier to just move to Alabama if want to live with rural, more self-sufficient folks who have been living that way for centuries. I think everything is going to take turns in directions that we as a collective group who just met each other, are not going to be able to predict.

If you wanted that like-minded rural community then should have joined the Amish or Mennonites a decade or more ago.

Most have fantasies about how their quaint rural life will proceed and perhaps talk up how they can form quaint communities. I expect it to more or less blow up in their faces. Human nature being what it is and individuals reacting to the loss of the shine on their former fantastical enthusiasm.

For example, you and I. Numerous times I have suggested we could loosely hold in reserve as a plan B or C to help and rely on each other and numerous times I have been essentially rebuffed (which is understandable and I am not upset about it, just a factual reality) because you and I have very different situations, priorities and preferences. Each of us is fickle and steadfast in our ways enough, that there is no synergy at all. And it would probably be even worse in times of great stress.

TPTB know this. They know Westerners are spoiled by fickle individualism afforded by a century of debt ascension.

I am resigned to the fact that I must proceed on my own, excepting to the extent I can afford to pay others to delegate tasks and perhaps only with significant financial means can I afford to fund like-mindedness where it is mutually beneficial (e.g. trading financial support for something I need as an example). Economics drives outcomes to a large extent.

I suggest we cease all discussion of a plan B for you. And cease discussing your prepping plans. I need to stop wasting time on so many extraneous tangents, including discussion.

Westerners are not going to turn back the clock hundreds of years and return to the “pull myself up from my boostraps while doing my daily chores in the mud” subsistence lifestyle. Any who have some quaint fantasy about it, are likely to quit at some point as the reality of the grind of that lifestyle becomes more real.

Thanks for the discussion. I learned.

My like-minded would be for example Filipina Michelle. She is accustomed to a subsistence lifestyle. If you want like-minded for subsistence existence then start with people who have been doing that their entire life. Otherwise construct paper fantasies of your own self-deception.

As far as I know there is no such thing as Brit culture married with subsistence living from centuries back. If you mean like-minded as so you can have the luxury of your home culture yet somehow regress that turning back the clock centuries. If you want to turn back the clock, leave the developed West.

Maybe I wrong though. If you want to try to establish that combination of Middle Ages lifestyle coupled with modern Brit culture, I do not want to blamed for discouraging you.

The same applies here in the U.S.A.. Nobody is living at a subsistence farming level (excepting perhaps some Amish), probably not even Alabama. And I do not like the climate in Alabama so I did not even investigate. I keep the U.S.A. as a plan A assuming I won’t need subsistence farming. I prepare the plan B outside the U.S. for the case I will need it.

Comment:

ADDED: I think the SE Asians are harder working, more apt to fight for security and normalcy and not look the other way when criminal elements are at-large. But that comes with it a much more judgmental society. Also my climate choices in SE Asia are less amenable to my preferences. Thus I am trying to proceed in Latin America, but I remain open minded to the possibility I may eventually come to the conclusion that Latin America will not work as well. But for the time being I think Latin America will work better for me as a plan B than SE Asia for various reasons I have mentioned in past discussion.

P.S. no animosity intended. Just need to be more focused. Each of us expended much effort discussing our perspectives on the situation of plan A, B, C and where and how to ride out this global smashup. I think if my points are not clear by now, no amount of additional repetition and prodding would be beneficial. I of course wish you the best possible outcome in your choices. No ill will.

Martin Armstrong explained (this was recorded in 2021 but published to YT this week) that the plan is merge the Fed and the U.S. Treasury department so that the central bank will just print the money the government needs to spend instead of the government borrowing it:

(A New Kind Of Debt Crisis - Q&A with Martin Armstrong)

BlackRock’s surreptitious privatization of the Fed which John Titus revealed and I summarized is ostensibly the plan wherein BlackRock will essentially be and own the U.S. Treasury Dept:

This is ostensibly why they need the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) (i.e. Armstrong says the Fed will take direct deposits), so that there are no private banks and no way to earn any interest on savings. This is insane and only worthless people will adhere to this and not find some alternative monetary system where the proper market function of interest rates and opportunity cost and wealth accumulation can persist — this insane plan is going to drive the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as the alternative. Armstrong is correct that most cryptocurrencies are too technologically flawed to survive, but there will be exceptions.

I had documented the official timelines for the launch of the CBDCs:

As mentioned in that voice message post, my 2013 blog explained why if information can be transmitted between observers faster than the speed-of-light, then the past could become the future and vice versa. Thus nothing could be perceived to exist.

The Universe

“This creates a hyperbolic light cone that extends unbounded into the past and future as shown below. Whereas, a plus + sign would transform into a 4D ellipse in Euclidean geometry thus limiting the past and future inside boundary of the edge of the ellipse (which would not model the real world) and unlike hyperbolic rotation relative observations could rotate future into the past (where rotation moved from t > 0 to t < 0 around the center point of the ellipse) and vice versa, which can only happen in the hyperbolic space when v > c (as explained below).

The above 3D visualization of the hyperbolic light cone flattens the non-time 3D portion of the space to a 2D hypersurface. This illustrates light (and thus also the propagation of information via electricity, electromagnetism, or light) traveling (at speed c) from the observation at point A into the future and from the past expanding reach to more of the non-time (i.e. 2D hypersurface) portion of the space over time. Any event point B inside the upper cone (as shown, i.e. t > 0) could be caused by interaction or information reaching it from A; or if inside the lower cone (i.e. if t < 0) could cause A by transmitting information or interacting to it from the past {…} Thus, if ever v > c, then different observers can perceive inverted causal relationships (i.e. the effect is the cause), the future can be inserted into the past and vice versa.”

I proceeded to explain thus why entropy must always increase:

“The ‘edge of the universe’ only has a meaning in the macroscropic spacetime model which is apparently not the fundamental reality— matter is a continuum in the frequency domain. Thus the edge of the universe is defined by how finely matter can be subdivided, i.e. the macroscopic geometric models of reality have infinite extent which is equivalent to the infinite resolution of matter.

On this question, the implication of Russell's paradox is that every set that is populated by rule instead of explicit enumeration, includes itself. Also Turing completeness is in essence unbounded recursion. Also Gödel's incompleteness theorems which state that no theory of computation can be both complete and consistent, as there will always exist another truth which can't be proven by the existing theory. Unbounded recursion appears even mathematical conceptualization of infinite sets which are duals of unbounded induction from a known origin which a disjunction of all members (and a conjunction of all operations on members) and unbounded coinduction towards an unknown end which is a conjuction of all members (and a disjunction of all operations on members).

A universe with finite future entropy, would mean it is prescripted deterministically and the future is known to a hypothetical observer being who can see all of the finite universe. An infinite frequency domain corresponds to infinite possible configurations in the time domain.”

Comment:

I had followed up in three blogs before 2020:

The Golden Knowledge Age is Rising

“I want to focus first on Verlinde's derivation of the gravitation force from emergent principles of conservation-of-energy and Shannon entropy (upper bound of the information content) which I had explained in the prior blog.

First of all, I want to explain why the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that energy must always disperse from a hot to a cold body, and not the reverse of a colder body giving up energy becoming colder and making the hot body hotter. This is because the equation for entropy of any system is maximized by having as many equiprobable possible states, i.e. the probability is very high that a hot body with its very highly probable collision of moving particles due to high kinetic energy will transfer some kinetic energy to the slower moving particles in the cold body because it maximizes the entropy of the combined system of hot and cold bodies together. But that is sort of a tautology. The point is that random events are unlikely to be able to keep a system highly ordered and concentrated, just as random twists on a Rubik's cube are unlikely to solve it. Since there can't exist any top-down omniscience in the universe, the probability of maintaining ordered systems trends towards zero on a large enough scale. This is why one can keep small things in order for a while, but large endeavors unravel more quickly. For the same reason, small things grow faster, such as a saplings grow to trees, but trees don't grow to the moon

{…}

Relating Physics to Information

What I want to add is the insight that gravity emerges from the probability that the microstates of relative bodies of mass can't avoid dispersing some energy from the one with the higher energy (mass) to the one with less. As the bodies move closer to each other, the equations dictate the force increases, and this is because the number of equiprobably microstates is decreasing as the surface area of the imaginary sphere decreases, so relative acceleration between the two bodies must increase so as to maintain the rate of energy dispersion. Or in other words, as the bodies move closer to each other, the change in the relative entropies decreases, so the acceleration (and force) increase to compensate since the relative energy (mass) has not changed.

So the upper bound for information content (Shannon entropy) of that system of two relative bodies is directly involved in physics of the acceleration of relative bodies due to the gravitational force. So intangible information content which is a dimensionless quantity, is projected into a dimensional structure in the physical world and thus interacts with energy and forces. This is profound because it seems to hint that information content is not orthogonal to our physical world.”

Information is the Fundamental Matter of Existence — the Multiverse is (partially) Observable?

Overcoming the Power-law Distribution

Being embedded and invested in resisting change is antithetical to life. As our tangible human civilization has reached its ordered apogee, and our nearly worthless overlords attempt to counteract the collapse of the extant order into chaos, by deceiving themselves into believing that they can strangle life as alternative to creative destruction — all they will accomplish is to help destroy that which refuses to change in order to opt out of the societalcide.

The vast majority of people if unable to make this leap to the Knowledge Age (and thus including detaching themselves from the dying tangible era by among other actions, maximizing their tangible jurisdictional nimbleness, e.g. plan B, C, etc), will thus be collateral damage of the paradigm shift that can’t be delayed and impeded any longer by expanding debt.

The point is that the extant tangible order has become so worthless and embedded in a single-minded focus of sustaining itself (thus unable to spawn and drive the trend to maximum entropy), that it is cannibalizing itself as the alternative to embracing change a priori (e.g. if most people had abandoned debt and opted out, but that did not happen did it!).

IOW, the powers-that-be are invested in power projection, which is measured myopically in the extant dying tangible order. Thus their fantastical proscriptions for technology should not taken as the gospel on the actual outcome of technology — rather indicative of the creative destruction chaos they can’t avoid as they merely destroy their own power by maximizing it in terms of the worthless, dying morass.

So the error of SunZoomSpark, James A. Donald and Adam is wanting to sustain the tangible era by somehow making it even more ordered, somehow resisting change and the trend to maximum entropy. The problem with our democrazy isn’t the evil overlords, as they are just fulfilling the destruction of what needs to die. To posit to replace them with benevolent or virtuous leaders is a misconceptualization of power vacuums and thus the too highly ordered morass that human civilization is structured in with the tangible age.

The only solution moving forward is to disintermediate the tangible era with decentralization technology. This does not imply that our tangible existence entirely ceases during our lifetimes but that eventually it becomes economically irrelevant or highly insignificant. In my voice messages, I used the example of how stones were very valuable during the Stone Age. But obviously stones are not economically significant in human civilization now.

I agree with Armstrong that our overlords are destroying themselves, but I disagree with Armstrong that will take the form of the masses rising up to sustain their existing tangible era systems including forms of collective governance. Instead the entire morass of human civilization will be distintermediated by new decentralization technology and most of the masses may perish as unable to adapt. So the overlords fail by destroying everything almost. The extent of the collateral damage depends on whether most people can adapt.

Information being that it is without mass can change faster and thus can achieve higher entropy faster.

It’s fundamental to the most essential trend and fact of our universe that things with mass will become antiquated because they will be too inefficient to keep up. Has nothing to do with whether we like it or not.

Technology is not the only means available to transcend our tangible state and ability to communicate. Controversial yes, but I'm coming more to the understanding that there has long been the ability to experience numerous realms - and I'm not talking about taking drugs, which I don't. Of course, none of this is measurable or verifiable. I don't expect or need you to agree. You can dismiss it as fanciful nonsense of course. I've made numerous connections just recently; breakthroughs of understanding if you like.

Comment:

@Forex Dissector if HEX and Richard Heart were entirely sincere then there would be no origin address which takes 50% of the penalties assessed when staked HEX is cashed out prematurely or late. HEX has this inane rule if you don’t unstake within 2 weeks of the expiration, you are penalized 50% of your stake (knowing darn well that humans are notorious for forgetting to do things on some long range calendar). The original address takes 50% of that penalty. Also HEX is dependent on proof-of-stake (whether it runs on Ethereum or PulseChain), which is entirely susceptible to oligarchy control and thus eventually government edicts. Proof-of-stake is dog sh8t as will become evident over the coming years. HEX’s market dynamics game theory and marketing with Richard Heart as a very active promoter has exhibited outsized gains and will likely continue to do so — until it doesn't. Heart is pointing out that even though HEX is down -95%, that only retraced a 20 times gain. Whereas overall HEX remains up 100 times or more for those who bought in 2020. Other than the compounding by diluting the money supply, what else does HEX do that is unique and worthwhile? HEX is a marketing coup. The HEX smart contract is only ~2000 lines of code, so it’s not some massive technological achievement.

I had a brief private TG chat with Richard and he is incapable of carrying on a discussion without shouting (i.e. excessive multiposting even in a private chat) to drown out the other party without listening, being condescending, rude and juvenile — constantly posting insulting memes in a serious discussion with someone who is a much more expert programmer and blockchain technologist (i.e. myself) than Richard could ever be. Richard has the unjustified ego the size of Manhattan.

The more damning issues that Kevin didn't address in his line of questioning include the ludicrous claim that proof-of-stake is more secure than proof-of-work. I have eviscerated this in detail with some messages I posted today, but they are too long to post in a Youtube comment.

And he didn't realize that the reason the OG oligarchy which controls the token supply is not staking is so they can get out when the greater fool paradigm unravels. The 40% compounding for locking up stake for years is the way to fool the plebs so that only the founders are taking profits while the fools onboard by buying from founders.

Saplings grow to oak trees, but oaks trees don't grow to the moon. HEX has no use case other than extreme price appreciation, thus nobody (other than greater fools) is (are) buying it as a store-of-value. Thus it has no use case when the supply of greater fools is exhausted.

The HEX origin address scam is well documented. Anyone can find the information with a search. HEX will (eventually) crash and burn (if anything because proof-of-stake will crash and burn eventually as it is vulnerable to oligarchy control and government edicts). HEX has many shill bots commenting on this video.

Note I am not a Bitcoin maximalist and I am very pessimistic about the diabolical purpose that Bitcoin was created for and will become.

As of late July 2022, there’s a highly recommended two-part interview of Richard on Kitco News. I agree with Richard on some points and by the end of the interview he stops being defensive and condescending, because the host is exceedingly gracious and lathers him with copious gratitude. He corrects the host to point out that he’s much, much more expert than the top 1% in the crypto sector — typical Richard and mathematically maybe correct but not as correct as he thinks, e.g. his incorrect comprehension of the proof-of-stake versus proof-of-work issue (something I have studied since 2013 and I was even for example having discussions with Charles Hoskinson about it).

P.S. I have moved on because ‘talk if cheap, show me the code’ and I am an expert and highly experienced programmer. It’s time to lead by launching something, not talk.

> “Powell’s neutral is just slightly above where he wants inflation to end up. But it doesn’t work like that. You can’t bring 9% inflation down to 2% with 2.25% interest rates. He’s dreaming. You need net positive interest rates to fight inflation. Not net negative. Everyone knows that from the Volker case study.”

@Victor Villanova your simpleton conceptualization is actually incorrect believe it or not. Let me see if I can enlighten you. The inflation was firstly not caused by interest rates being too low, but by intentional destruction of the supply chain with the pLandemic and actions of the Bolsheviks now destroying West civilization. So all the Fed can do is crash the economy to try to bring demand down to the lower level of supply and to break the wage-price spiral which might take hold otherwise. So it really does not have anything to do with matching the level of interest rates to the price inflation rate! It has to do with the level of interest rates that will destroy enough demand, which is much lower than it used to be because the world is so egregious indebted.

Comment:

@Forex Dissector apologies I am very busy and was sleep deprived so just wanted to reply quickly last night. I decided to elaborate both for my own benefit to summarize my thoughts on the matter and to inform. There is no way to provide access to the private TG chat I had with Richard. I believe I did screen capture it and posted it somewhere but it's not really important as I won’t compete effectively with Richard down that line of discord. The only effective way to compete is to release something superior (while also heading off an attempt by Richard to copy the code as his developers are doing cloning Ethereum to create Pulsechain).

To this end let’s observe that all forms of money and investments are a confidence game. The only use case of HEX is really the promotional activities of Richard which sustains the belief that HEX will appreciate in value long-term. HEX has really no use case. Even Richard admits in the recent Kitco News interview that only ~15% of the money supply is staked.

Proof-of-stake will eventually crash and burn. Mark my word. Thus Ethereum (and its clones and all the other proof-of-stake trash such as Cardano, AVAX, Cosmos/ATOM, etc) will crash and burn, which HEX runs as a smart contract on. Thus HEX will crash and burn. No one knows how many years into the future that scorched crypto landscape will be.

@Crypto Zombie You have better sell the significant rallies, because there’s an ominous Anyone Can Spend attack looming. There’s only one legitimate Bitcoin, but it is not BSV, BTC, BCH. The impostor Bitcoin Core which you presumably hodl, will go to $0 when the miners proceed to restore the Nash equilibrium and take the 14 million BTC booty that the impostor 2017 soft fork created. You have been warned multiple times but you continue to ignore me at your peril. I have written extensively about the unequivocal game theory. Even worse than going to $0, is the restoration “attack” will cause you to receive a free air drop of Core sh8tcoins (your legacy will be donated to the miners if you did not store in a legacy address), which means a massive income tax obligation preceding the price crash but you will be unable to sell for complex reasons I explained in detail.

This interview is well done. Delighted that you noted the HEX community is probably an illusion and quite small. My first reaction at the start was … Well duh, you should have known from the get go that Scootercoin was a scam, because anyone who understands computer science would understand that there’s no decentralized means by which to differentiate from uber efficient ASIC mining hardware the proof-of-work generated very inefficiently from scooter generators. Thus you are probably not qualified to have created a HEX documentary.

Tom, the blockchain is here to solve actual world problems not the incorrect aspirations of the worthless aspirant class of plebs: “Bitcoin is not a reflection of your hopes and aspirations, but a check on them.

HEX is a scam because those who staked for 15 years, meaning they can’t even cash out with a 50% penalty for 7.5 years, will likely never get any of their original investment back out of HEX. And HEX was intentionally designed to take advantage of the forgetfulness of humans in that they lose all their investment if they are busy and don’t unstake in a very small two week time window after expiration (and not before expiration because they incurs a 50 – 100% penalty). HEX is also a scam because the origin address received “sacrificed” crypto tokens exchanged for HEX thus obviously an ICO that violates the Howey test for U.S. Securities laws and which probably enabled the insiders to buy HEX from themselves, thus entirely centralizing the token supply and pump-a-mentally creating an illusion of a high market cap and illusion of popular adoption.

Which means all penalties are awarded to the insiders. HEX is also a scam because it is promoted as (by implication) equating FDIC insured Certificate of Deposits with an uninsured technology (proof-of-stake) which is going to crash and burn because every proof-of-stake system is entirely centralized and governments can and will be able to crack down on them. Every ICO (including Ethereum) has been insiders buying the ICO from themselves centralizing the token supply. Why do you think Ethereum had sky high gas fees when the oligarchy of mining can compute the smart contracts only once instead of duplicating the computation for the illusion of decentralized miners? Obviously for the oligarchy in control to centralize the token supply. And the power-law distribution of fungible resources in an inviolable invariant in our Universe. Notwithstanding Richard’s condescending, juvenile memes to impress other naive juveniles, who but those inebriated on Richard’s Koolaid are making a fool out of themselves?

Comment:

Richard “Heart” James Schueler first argues that Bitcoin had lost its libertarian ethos and community. That’s an irrelevant point because the power-law distribution of fungible resources is inviolable — in every monetary system the 0.1% (e.g. Richard) will eventually control 99.9% of the fungible resources (e.g. HEX). So instead of the silly strawmen points that Richard makes, we should ask serious questions such as what major need or problem does each crypto system solve. Richard accurately admits at 42:40 that Bitcoin solves decentralized, permissionless, digital store-of-value, medium-of-exchange (and obviously also the unit-of-account — the three key attributes of money) without the threat of the 51% (or more accurately 50+% and liveness) attack(s) that threatens proof-of-stake (because the token supply aka stake is power-law distributed and these entities can be targeted unlike in Bitcoin where new miners can sprout up at-will). HEX solves no need, other than being a clever scam that recently underwent price discovery (in 2020 and 2021) thus recorded a massive rise in the price.

Steem is an example of how proof-of-stake is corruptible. Ethereum on proof-of-stake will eventually immolate, as will inevitably Richard’s Pulsechain.

Richard’s point that debasement is a flaw for Bitcoin is nonsensical because the debasement trends towards zero over time. Thus the environment sensationalism is nonsensical for that reason and others I won’t bother to detail now.

Richard inflates this issue of inflation bugs out-of-proportion to any relevance. I have been a computer programmer since 1978. Yes it’s true that the HEX smart contract by definition is immutable and given the tiny code base ~2000+ lines of code, is unlikely to have an inflation bug. Whoop-de-do. HEX doesn’t solve any important need (although Richard tries to nonsensically imply HEX is a better store-of-value than Bitcoin, lol). Bitcoin solves the need for an impartial world reserve currency in a rapidly rising multi-polar world where no one will entirely trust the ruble, yuan or dollar. Besides Bitcoin Core is an impostor altcoin, created by the 2017 NY Agreement soft fork and it will be destroyed as Satoshi’s immutable legacy protocol (not BSV nor BCH) is restored. Thus all the complaints about inflation bugs and buggy code do not apply whatsoever. I have explained the game theory and economics of this extensively for example at my trading view.

Tone Vays is correct that the legacy address BTC tokens are not confiscatable in the Bitcoin protocol (unless there’s a 50+% attack that violates and mutates the protocol, which is what the 2017 soft fork did) and confiscations are not the fault of the legacy protocol. However, the 2017 soft forked protocol is confiscatable as Anyone Can Spend, and only a few people on earth correctly understands the game theory of why those who store their BTC in non-legacy addresses will have their legacy BTC confiscated and be left holding worthless bags. Thus Tone is entirely incorrect about the mutations added to Bitcoin since 2017 solving all the smart contract and scaling needs that Ethereum attempts (but will fail) to address. Also Tone did point out that Richard scammed everyone out of their ETH in the ICO for HEX and then convinced many of the fooled to lock up their HEX for ~7+ years. Richard alone outmatched all these guys collectively in IQ. None of them were able to make coherent rebuttals as I am doing here. The munee chap was particularly slow witted. Why does Richard always chose to debate people who are two standard deviations below his IQ? Tone is correct that Bitcoin is decentralized and nothing else is, but he didn’t really make the point coherently, even though Richard essentially admitted it.

I actually agree with Richard about the legacy protocol of Bitcoin can’t provide improvements such as better anonymity and that the FOMO has to go somewhere so much better for it to go into something where users can get yield without giving their keys — the stated market fit for HEX. Without Richard, HEX dies. Okay but Tulip Bubbles aren’t eternal or even long lasting. Saplings grow to oak trees, but oak trees don’t grow to the moon. I tried to have this private debate with Richard in TG last year, but all he did was spam me with insults and there was no opportunity to even have a reasoned discussion.

Tone is incorrect that he can reject the 50+% Nakamoto proof-of-work consensus with his full node. His full node must follow the longest chain. The uneconomic majority is irrelevant. Tone doesn’t even understand proof-of-work, lol.

Comment:

ADD: to be more explicit in case the implication was not fully impressed upon readers, ICO issuers can buy their offered tokens from themselves, recycling the same payment tokens over and over again (e.g. ETH in case of HEX’s ICO) during the duration of the ICO — a phenomenon that was clearly identified in for example EOS’s ICO. Thus Richard and his insiders could own virtually the entire token supply and those who onboard are simply providing additional liquidity for Richard to cash out and buy $million Rolex watches. Thus the amount of money claimed to be raised in an ICO is an egregious deception. Also thus Richard’s point that the origin address never sold any HEX is irrelevant, because he ostensibly sold the ETH (and other payment tokens) that were “sacrificed” by those who participated in the ICO to obtain HEX or who buy HEX on an exchange. Thus of course making HEX a security under the Howey test, especially given that HEX’s price levitation is impossible without Richard’s continued promotion and management of for example the next scam (Pulsechain and PulseX) to keep the FOMO alive. HEX should just be correctly named RichardCoin because he is the entire thing essentially. Thus asinine to compare HEX to Bitcoin’s huge, global, decentralized ecosystem (i.e. no leader, no spokesman, no centralized proof-of-stake, etc) with deep liquidity and use.

Now we found the potential cause of another leg down crash in crypto!

Oh my I did not think of this. As the centralized stable coins block funds, essentially backing for those is now free money for the proprietors of the stable coin, unless they expect some legal regime that require those funds be sent to someone (but how and how would anyone know which funds were stolen from whom if they were all mixed?). Thus this is the perfect scam. Launch a stablecoin, then comply with government sanctions to legally steal money!

Jerry Brito, executive director at blockchain research group Coin Center, however, threw cold water on the idea that the US Treasury would freely hand out sanctions to any address interacting with Tornado Cash moving forward.

“I would think that’s unlikely, and I’d be surprised if this would metastasize that quickly in those directions,” Brito told Blockworks. “It seems, from their previous statements, they are very specifically concerned about mixers, particularly those used by specific bad actors — North Korean hackers and ransomware attackers.”

As I had warned @infofront before he departed, DeSantis is not a Julius Caesar:

Here’s the content of the linked article:

“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis doesn’t use his official office account to release a statement on the FBI raid in Mar-a-Lago, that likely required a joint cooperative task force response from the state, as customary for fulfilment of a federal warrant upon a Florida citizen. Instead, Florida Governor DeSantis issues a tweet from his personal account noting the action was yet ‘another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies.’ Oh well, that’s a relief, heavy sigh, as long as it’s just ‘another escalation’…

TWEET {The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.}

“Quick pivot right to the whataboutism politics DC is famous for… “while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves”, and “IRS agents,” etc.

You see, this is what DC does to bang the pots and pans loudly in the UniParty kitchen. As a congressional representative, Ron DeSantis learned the chaff and countermeasures well. Actually challenge the federal government? No way. Not gonna happen.

Meanwhile, compare the response from future Arizona Governor Kari Lake:

STATEMENT {This is one of the darkest days in American history: the day our Government, originally created by the people, turned against us. This illegitimate, corrupt Regime hates America and has weaponized the entirety of the federal government to take down President Donald Trump. *Our Government is rotten to the core.* These tyrants will stop at nothing to silence the Patriots who are working hard to save America. This is an incredibly horrendous abuse of power. If we accept it, America is dead. *We will not accept it.* The 10th Amedment can and will save our Republic and the road to stripping the Feds of power travels right through Arizona. *We must fire the Federal Government.* As Governor I will fight these Tyrants with every fiber of my being. America-dark days lie ahead for us. May God protect us and save our Country.}

“Keep in mind, the personal account of Ron DeSantis could say anything he wants. Again, for reasons known to political followers, DeSantis chose not using the FL Gov Twitter account for his response to an FBI raid that happened in his state…. that used his joint cooperation task force to execute.

Times of consequence provide insights into strength of leadership. Or as Ron DeSantis would say “another escalation” amid a lot of escalations that have yet to reach a line where ‘escalations‘ are no longer accepted; at least not for him. Someone with political ambitions generally draws those lines in a much different place than the regular people impacted by the escalations the professional political class like to bang their pots loudly about.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ~ Sam Adams

State Representative Anthony Sabatini from Florida district 32 seems to understand the dynamic that changed today.”

TWEET {It is time for us in the Florida Legislature to call an emergency legislative session & amend our laws regarding federal agencies Sever all ties with DOJ immediately Any FBI agent conducting law enforcement functions outside the purview of our State should be arrested on sight}
END OF ARTICLE

How is it the so-thought based Desantis is coming off as a tepid little daisy compared to a lady-Governor and a state senator? If he is not in bed with the RINOs, if he is not taking on the role of Brutus, what logic or strategy is behind his handling of this ongoing and growing fiasco?

“Hillary Clinton is using the tyrannical Mar-a-Lago raid to sell merchandise. Clinton began promoting “but her emails” clothing only a day after Trump’s personal residence was stormed. That seems to be a quick turnaround time considering everyone claims the raid blindsided them. She is blatantly bragging that intelligence agencies never came after her in any meaningful way. This would be akin to Hunter Biden selling “but his laptop” hats to laugh that he is above the law.

Could you imagine if Trump had the Clintons’ personal residence raided? The media and liberal mobs would have started a civil war.

In fact, “civil war” is now trending on Twitter as people fear the Democrats are only willing to leave office on a scorched Earth premise.”

@Boredy McBoredface I stopped believing in fairy tales at about the age 4 or so. Narratives are not facts. Where is the evidence? The Jan 6 hearings have been a farce. No actual evidence of anything. Just a lot of fairy tale narratives.

He replied:

S. Moore what evidence would you accept ?

I replied:

@Boredy McBoredface actual hard evidence of a crime. Not hearsay for example (which is inadmissible in court but you seem to be unaware of that and thus think the Jan 6 hearings are anything but a propaganda, freak show for the ignorant).

He replied again:

@S. Moore he has just pled the 5th multiple times in NY course. It’s not heresay. They took TS classified information out of the Whitehouse and took it home - WHY would that ever be ok !!?

I replied again:

@Boredy McBoredface pleading the 5th does not provide evidence of any criminal activity. Dude you seriously need to stop pretending to yourself that you understand the function of the law. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is not evidence. It is your personal, emotionality problem. Your emotions does not equal evidence. Capice? P.S. in case you are too dumb to realize it, there are situations where an innocent party pleads the 5th to avoid corrupt attempts to achieve perjury entrapment on an irrelevant technicality. The courts are highly corrupt in NY.

Comment:

Martin Armstrong notes that Pelosi’s visit will help solidify the support for Xi Jinping to be elected for life as head of the CCP. And a war in 2023 will give the Demonrats the excuse to cancel the 2024 elections. So you think Biden and Xi aren’t actually cooperating?

Armstrong has become very pessimistic after the FBI raid on Trump. He and even commentators at J.A.D.’s blog expect the 2022 midterms to be stolen. He thinks the authoritarianism will accelerate every year, with the U.S. likely to target farmers in 2023. The recently passed “Inflation Reduction Act” will weaponize the I.R.S. (tax authority) against Americans. Essentially via social media posts and smart phone tracking, the government knows who are the conservatives they need to destroy, so will probably unleash a rogue IRS on us. Expect passports to be canceled (e.g. if owe more than $50k to the IRS), liens to be placed against bank accounts, etc..

MY STANCE ON ALL OF THIS IS THAT THIS WILL DRIVE A REACTION. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL LOOK TO PLACE ASSETS OUTSIDE THE REACH OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE RULE OF LAW, E.G. INTO PRECIOUS METALS AND MOREOVER BITCOIN.

I am wondering if I should retract my statements from the prior day prioritizing the ability to remain within a first world country like the U.S.A. as opposed to a developing country like Mexico. It’s not clear how quickly and widespread the devolution of Western civilization will be and at which junctures? Is it pointless to buy land in the West if it is all going to be confiscated under “unexplained wealth orders” or I.R.S. witch hunts as the case may be? Yet if such ruin is widespread enough in the U.S., there will probably be armed rebellion. Will the abuse instead be more narrowly targeted? Will countries that have unarmed citizenry be spared the individual attacks on wealth as the people more or less are compliant with the Great Reset aims and edicts which impoverish everyone collectively?

This is not the time to invest a lot of money into assets that could be seized. Much better to use irreproachable surrogates for hodling seizable assets.

Although I don’t prefer it, this also causes me to revisit the idea of living out of a mobile home. I wouldn’t have the problem of brownouts nor the expense of AirBnbs. I could also park it in California where I actually prefer to be in the summers. I could even visit my mother in WA State and not have to rely on expensive hotels. If my mobile home was unobtrusive and not significantly identifiable as such, I could probably get away with parking it almost anywhere and certainly in rural locations.

@S. Moore Absolutely. The majority of Nevada is desert, as you saw in Vegas. However, in northern central Nevada, along the California border, there are alpine forests surrounding Lake Tahoe- which is shared by both states. There are a number of towns on the lake that have a similar alpine vibe. It’s a pretty magical place.

Biden pledges $150 million to ASEAN to counter China’s influence whilst laundering $40 billion as “military aid” through the Ukrainian mafia headed by Zelenskyy.

@W. Lam did you even read my comment? The entire objective is intentional. The U.S. mafia is cooperating with the Asian mafia. How is that your reading comprehension is so incoherent? Do you have a ‘one track’ mind that actually ignores the context of what you purport to read.

Comment:

> @S. Moore Which part of my comment made you think my "reading comprehension is so derelict"? Or I may ask, do you understand my comment at all? If not, then let me explain. My comment was NOT to agree, or disagree with what you said.

@W. Lam my entire point is that it was not idiotic and instead was an intentional, fully understood insult. And it is to help propel the China mafia crime boss Xi to a lifetime position as the head of the Communist Crime Party mafia. Somehow that point flew right over your head twice. And they say East Asians have a high average IQ, but I am doubting it. Are you so naive as to not realize that government is a racket captured by the official mafia? Nothing is ever about what is good for the people. Never. Take off your rose colored glasses and get in touch with reality.

And repairing them still takes trucks using what fuel source???”

@First name Last name also renewables can’t provide base load as Texas learned. The inefficiencies (both cost and power losses) worsen if need to employ costly batteries to store renewable energy for base load. Recnnt news story of wind turbines toppled and mangled by a tornado, so another problem is they can’t feasibly be hardened unlike a well designed (even the new solid-state) nuclear reactor.

Comment:

Let’s compare Constellation’s PRO consensus protocol to my altcoin consensus design proposal:

(Constellation DAG is the biggest thing in crypto. Must See!)

Proof of Reputational Observation (PRO) will fail to disintermediate the inviolable economics of the power-law distribution of fungible resources aka ‘plutocracy and centralization’, because all consensus protocols can be gamed — thus devolve to a competition over resources (e.g. proof-of-stake block leadership selection can devolve to proof-of-work via () if monopolization of stake is not more economical, which all that multiparty computation for verified randomness accomplish thus not actually solving the aforementioned ‘inviolable’ invariant). I will elaborate in follow-ups.

I skimmed the CTO Wyatt Meldman-Floch’s foundational Blockchain Cohomology paper. Read the Business Whitepaper v1.0 and both the blog articles How Constellation is Different Than Blockchain and The Unique Value Proposition and Bull Case for Constellation Network. Remember I was ridiculed many years ago for being I believe the first to point out that Iota’s tangle relied on a centralized Coordinator. I will be ignored and ridiculed again, but correct again as always on the point that all global consensus algorithms centralize unless they allow for partitioning divergence. Constellation’s PRO consensus does not (and no consensus protocol can) obviate the Blockchain Trilemma, which by the way is really just a variation (or restatement) of the Brewster’s (aka the CAP) Theorem where Consistency is Security, Availability is Scalability and Partition tolerance is Decentralization.

The Wyatt quote in the blog article The Unique Value Proposition and Bull Case for Constellation Network points out the the honest network can fork off from the dishonest Sybil attack if even just one honest node tags a double-spend, but what it doesn’t say is whether nodes on the network can be fooled by reputation trust into accepting a transaction to be final before every last node that was going to (or needs to instead of trusting violable reputation) has verified a double-spend (or in general smart contract parlance ‘conflicting’) transaction. The adversary may stand to gain more from the attack (e.g. shorting the token on the exchanges) than the cost in loss of reputation. Reputation can’t replace direct verification, because reputation is gamed out-of-band from the actual protocol math (e.g. shorting on an exchange). The adversary paradigm-shifts the playing field to a competition over resources with out-of-band tactics.

It was this realization that led me to conclude that the only consensus protocol design capable of obviating this weakness would enable every node (no matter how meager its computational and connectivity resources) to verify every transaction, while still possessing infinite scaling via recursive proofs. Even if Constellation’s consensus protocol was modified to abandon trust and reputation, the borderless, permissionless gossip model employed by PRO could not feasibly define a metric by which to declare the size of the set of all nodes so that a node could conclude that every node had verified every transaction — thus my design relies on a clever paradigm-shift without devolving to the degenerate, winner-take-all paradigm of extant consensus protocols. And yes I am designing an infinitely scalable consensus protocol that can fork off from malfeasance without enabling the resource powerful adversary (aka the oligarchy or plutocracy of wealth) to game the possible to attacks to their economic advantage. Thus you should not abandon crypto (as you claimed in your video you would) if Proof of Reputational Observation (PRO) fails as I claim it will.

Note my allegation of eventual ‘failure’ doesn’t mean market price FOMO failure; I am not on any marketing campaign to spread FUD about Constellation. I am just writing this down for my own notes and might as well share it with you and the community one time. You ostensibly appreciate the utmost importance of finding a way to decentralize consensus. Even legacy Bitcoin eventually ends up as a Biblical 666-like global reserve currency with all wealth concentrated on the Seven Hills of Jerusalem or Rome (depending on theological timeline interpretation). So it’s not just that legacy Bitcoin won scale and the dubiously ‘scalable’ soft fork impostor dies a fiery Anyone Can Spend death.

In case my point wasn’t entirely clear, I am alleging that it will possible with sufficient resources and out-of-band incentive (which may not be the case for a while) to fool different partitions of the Constellation network into accepting that conflicting transactions are final, and thus these partitions will have no objective means to coalesce and thus be permanently forked off (or f-cked off if you prefer) from each other, even though both were entirely innocent and attempting to be honest.

Comment:

To understand my technical and game theory allegation and criticism more abstractly in Wyatt’s conceptualization of biomimicry (c.f. the blog article Biomimicry in Blockchain: How Constellation’s Design Is Based On Natural Systems), paradigm-shift, out-of-band attacks can be more information optimal in the overriding, dominating holistic perspective of the ‘world’ outside the myopic, compartmentalized assumptions of the consensus protocol. I will offer two more examples of for layman intuition about out-of-band and compartmentalized. First note that ICOs are overstated in value and the insiders end up with all the tokens, because they recycle the same tokens used to purchase the auctions over and over again buying from themselves. And ETH gas fees are entirely centralizing because the larger your pool the less redundant computation and thus the more gas fees pocketed not incurred as computation costs. The out-of-band factors are complex and unseen.

Comment:

James A. Donald (aka Jim) points out that a Dark Age has likely started for Western Civilization. I entirely agree. When I write about how we can (possibly but I think certainly) detach from and accelerate the demise of the societalcide with clever decentralization technology (and note I have not yet shared/published all that I wrote in my private Telegram outside the group, due to a need to reorganize what I wrote to remove confidential bits), this is coincident with helping to push the former holistic organization of the Western civilization over the cliff into the abyss. Read the entire linked blog article and the comments not just the snippet I quoted below…

“A holiness spiral peaks suddenly, and then it is over. Sometimes no one survives, but usually it is abruptly terminated by a Hitler or a Stalin before it gets to that point.”

“A dark age sets in slowly, at about one percent a year for centuries, From time to time there are dramatic crises, and even turnarounds, but these make little difference to the long term trend. We have a holiness spiral and a dark age setting in.”

Jim points out that the holiness spiral (e.g. wokeness) will end suddenly eventually. But note it will have so eviscerated the former, holistic organization with so much scorched earth maladaptation in its wake, that the Dark Age will likely continue to worsen spiraling down for hundreds of years. Because Westerners are completely incapable of agreeing on how to become holistically cooperative and competitive again. Thus those who want to excel will be forced into the decentralization economy, which will further implode the mainstream, traditional civilization into the abyss because all the (intellectual, energy and monetary) capital will be leaving it.

Comment:

Note Pooch is correct (and his follow-up) and Jim is an atavistic diehard, blowhard. Technology has paradigm-shifted the economy. Decentralization is winning, not Jim’s antiquated, recentralization by conquest. Decentralization doesn’t need K-strategy reproduction. The random R-strategy reproduction or K-strategy IVF (thus no need for dealing with maladapted, female bullshit) will spawn the geniuses that continue to drive the decentralization forward into the intangible age.

IRS Seeking Agents Willing to “Use Deadly Force”

The enhanced police state is turning tax accountants into the Gestapo. The IRS was forced to remove its job description after creating a buzz across the internet.

> “As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes,” the job advertisement stated. “No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.”

Hope this on topic
I follow a blog by an army guy, this is his take on the IRS hiring

Accountants. Lawyers. Hell even more analysts. But armed agents? This many? I believe its about gun seizures. Remember all those guys shouting “come and get them”? Others were asking who the govt was gonna get to do the deed? Well they can’t plus up the ATF. That would be a dead giveaway and Congress would be forced to react. But the IRS? That’s just perfect. I could be wrong but like I said. You don’t need this many armed agents to do tax collection. Uh you do know that’s bigger than a fully staffed Marine Expeditionary Force (legacy…don’t know how big the retooled force is gonna be). It’s bigger than a US Army Corps!

Are you concerned with the IRS hiring 87,000 new agents?

“It is a part of something bigger. The goal of current governments is to eliminate as many small and medium enterprises as possible and to consolidate corporate/government partnerships. If you are wealthy or work for a big corporation you have nothing to worry about.”

“A lot of people will own nothing and be happy🤷🏻‍♂️”

“It's 87k border patrol officers they should be hiring instead”

“Meant as a private political police force not revenue, to target they're adversaries you don't have to do anything wrong, just be accused”

“They are not hiring them to go after big business that's for sure”

“It's like they're hiring a private army.”

“After the irs bought machine guns and pallets of ammo… you could say it’s a bit of a red flag to see tens of thousands of new irs agents”

“Good time to be a IRS agent I guess ;-) but funny in an age where everything is computerized, that they need more people!”

“The massively expanded IRS will act as today's American version of yesterday's Stasi.”

“For reference - the FBI is hiring more armed agents than we have Soldiers in the 82nd Airborne, 101st Airborne, 11th Airborne, 10th Mountain Division and 3rd Infantry Division combined.”

“I never cheated on my taxes but I had them freeze my accounts and cause havoc in my life later they admitted they made a mistake and wrote me a check to cover some of the damages.”

“I don't mind the new agents, as long as they only prosecute the little guy and leave the millionaires and billionaires alone, those people have it tough with their lavish lifestyles and private islands and planes. That stuff doesn't pay for itself you now, the working slob will only waste it on food and clothes and housing and getting to work to enrich the rich and the taxman.”

Comment:

Martin Armstrong keeps reiterating that Klaus Schwab and his WEF will fail. I guess he means they will fail to enslave us in a 666 centrally controlled digital currency panopticon wherein we “own nothing and are happy” eating grasshopper protein?

Armstrong stated two justifications, 1) that civilization only exists when people can come together to cooperate, and 2) never in the history of the world has there been an orderly, premeditated monetary reset.

As for his second point, Bretton Woods was orderly and entirely premeditated, even we know FDR was entirely aware of Pearl Harbor before it happened.

And this current monetary reset to legacy Bitcoin as the future world reserve currency is entirely premeditated since 1988 and we can clearly see the strings being pulled behind the curtain to bring about the multi-polar world which will demand a monetary reserve controlled by nobody, i.e. Bitcoin.

As for Armstrong’s first point, civilization is coming together in the East with Russia now selling to 700 million consumers in China for example entirely side-stepping, suicidal Western sanctions whilst earning higher profit margins because commodities were driven so high in price.

The chaos and devolution of the West doesn’t mean civilization does not continue on somewhere else.

Long-term (e.g. after 2032 or 2037) Armstrong will be correct that the diabolical societalcide of the West will cannibalize itself and what scorched earth remains will perhaps have rejected some of the worst of the societalcide memes and schemes.

My point is Armstrong is essentially wrongheaded because the WEF is failing along with the entire Western civilization failing! What is the consolation and utility of arguing the societalcide will fail, if we will all fail along with the titanic?

It’s not like Western civilization is suddenly going to come to its senses after 2032 and reconstruct a glorious civilization from the ashes of what transpires between now and then. Armstrong should refer back to his own cycle model for the devolution of the USA which shows it will fall into a Madmax completely failed civilization by 2085 after an interim deadcat bounce from 2032 to 2037 and another deadcat bounce around 2047.

I doubt the WW3 and economic devastation between now and 2032 can totally wipe out all those who still believe in centralized government aka statism, i.e. the rise of the 51.6 year public wave from 2032 on Armstrong’s ECM which will probably be more relevant in the developing world aka the East. Any attempt to continue centralized control (especially in the formerly civilized West…perhaps some “direct democracy” masturbation), will be ultimately at odds with the future of decentralization (because valuable Westerners are not going to just stand like deer in the headlights and be wiped out by decadent civilization), despite any short-term (e.g. 2032 – 2037 on Armstrong’s cycle model) illusions otherwise.

Yet the statism in the West will have an ally in the statism in the East and thus perhaps align to fight against the decentralization movement rising worldwide. If not for the ability of statism to continue to flourish in the East, the world would have no choice but to rapidly embrace decentralization as did Europe embrace industrialization. But note the East rejected industrialization and thus stayed mired in the Agricultural Age for a century longer than the West leading to its impoverishment.

Thus I see an ongoing devolution of the West for decades as the centralized clusterfuck of statism fights against decentralization technology. That is unless most Westerners onboard decentralization and middle finger centralized governance, which I am not optimistic will happen in my lifetime. Even if 50% come over to decentralization, the other 50% will fight to enslave the 50% who just want to be free and left alone. This is human nature. The only way to end this is to economically eviscerate the 50% who believe in statism, which will be an arduous process stretching out over decades as did the demise of the Luddites. Old paradigms don’t die in a Waterfall collapse and especially when the East heavily embraces statism. Old paradigms die by a long, drawn out attrition and cat&mouse game process. Look at the demise of Western Rome for the timeline. And civilization transferred East to the Byzantine empire.

Spain Says New Gas Pipeline To France Could Be Ready In 8-9 Months

> The US plan in 2012/13 when Shell and Chevron convinced Yanukovuch to sell them the rights to the Yuzivska shale gas field in Ukraine (2/3 of which is in Donbass) was to mine that, and then use the Ukrainian (yes, Russian) pipeline system to sell to the EU and cut off Russia at the border. That was always the plan. That is the reason for the war in Ukraine. Shell and Chevron have since bailed out but Naftogaz acquired the rights to Yuzivska in 2020. But, the people in Donbass have been against it since day 1 back in 2010, because it requires the relocation of over 100,000 people and damage to farmlands, and possible contamination of the Dniper River.

Comment:

Perhaps the root cause of the societalcide insanity gripping the West can be most succinctly reduced to the generative essence of a power vacuum. It’s useful to understand the phenomenon in this abstraction because it illuminates that there can be no halt to the worsening destruction until the economic failure halts (which can not be the case until everyone in the West has abandoned the dying, financialized, tangible age dragging everything and everyone down with it, as it’s in denial refusing to go quietly into the night because most people aren’t ready to adapt as it being they’re egregious maladapted the multi-decade debt bubble).

Acutely the near implosion of the U.S.A. (in 2008) and E.U. (in 2019) banking systems were probably inflection points that demanded the most ruthless take control to provide a path forward that kicked-the-can on disintegration of the economy and government. For an example of the kicked-can, the COVID scam forced the Fed to expand its balance sheet like crazy and for the U.S.Gov to run massive fiscal deficits.

As the debt bubble has matured since the 1980s and the society has become less and less attached to debt-free production (and especially when the marginal-utility-of-debt turned negative sometime in the prior decade meaning that the more debt created the faster the economy implodes and the more desperate those who want to control the power vacuum), there was no longer any viable industry nor aegis capable pushing for sanity, soberness, balanced budgets and a sustainable path. Thus out of necessity Western civilization is increasingly captured by those willing to fly careening with napalm ablaze and engines on fire. Note that this destruction of the financializable tangible age is forcing (what will be the surviving) humanity to adapt away from the clusterfuck of centralization and tangible vulnerabilities towards the intangible, non-financializable, decentralized Knowledge (aka Informational) Age. How else can I put it more bluntly that EVERYTHING tangible and centralized will be confiscated and destroyed in the West because there’s no viable, solvent aegis. Normalcy bias, deer-in-the-headlights hopium and waiting for things to get better will prove to be a catastrophic, personal strategy. Yet contemplate the winding road of machinations this will go through as the various sectors of the Western society are destroyed one after the other.

“Those who borrow are slaves of moneylenders” — Proverbs 22:7

Westerners have sleepwalked into what the Bible warns them not to do. And thus now the civilization is eating itself as the Bible so warned would result. There will be no solution, except for those who find some way to opt-out of the dying paradigm and into some new prosperous paradigm.

He said, “This is what the government who will reign over you will claim as its rights: It will take your sons and make them serve with its chariots and horses, and they will run in front of its chariots. Some it will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow its ground and reap its harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for its chariots. It will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. It will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to its attendants. It will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to its officials and attendants. Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys it will take for its own use. It will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become its slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the government you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.” — 1 Samuel 8

Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you government over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” — 1 Samuel 15

We can classify each nation by the high valued assets at sufficient scale that are in contention to be captured. Small time crime doesn’t scale thus is relegated to the purview of small-time criminals (another, including the murder in the small rural community I had been staying in 2021) and corrupt police:

1. Mexico: drug & human trafficking turf, water resources, avocado farms, prime tourism (in addition to energy production, manufacturing and financial industry)

2. West: middle-class assets, each Westerner’s share of the statism, debt and money printing

3. Philippines: exported labor via BPO and OFWs (and some manufacturing)

So the West is devolving to the end game of capturing all assets and each individual’s share of the money printing, debt spigot. When the West was growing in real terms (marginal-utility-of-debt wasn’t negative), then there was enough fertile ground to capture without going full authoritarian (i.e. there were enough powerful who could resist societalcide). But now with the debt bubble collapsing, all Westerners are going to fleeced and hooked up to CBDCs so that the power structure can cannibalize itself in an attempt to be fed.

The West could become a top-down gulag! Mexico’s power structure can’t gain that much by fleecing its own mass of poor people of assets, thus Mexico will probably remain more freedom oriented despite the criminality.

My personal security in Mexico behooves me to be aware of my surroundings more so than in the U.S.A. because the threat are the small time criminals littered about any where, yet the statistical risk is quite low in rural areas of Baja and for example Oaxaca. Living out of a mobile camper in Mexico might feel a bit dangerous as one could imagine that local small time criminals could be lurking any where. But again the statistical risk is low and can be lowered more probably with personal security paraphernalia such as pepper spray, an air gun, pepper paint ball gun and perimeter warning systems. Yet it may be wiser to just spend $500 a month as I am now.

Thus the drug cartels are no threat to me as long as I avoid the cities, so I don’t become an accidental, collateral damage. Also don’t get involved in any of their turf. And avoiding the congested areas also removes much of the threat of small-time criminality and violence.

75 Americans out of the 31 million that visited in 2016 were killed down from 120 deaths out of 5.7 million that visited in 2011 and still three times safer than Houston while hundreds in the USA are maimed by lightning strikes every year and 42,915 died in vehicular crashes last year. 1,850 Brits killed annually in vehicular accidents.

Some U.S. cities are nearly as violent:

Ensenada is the sixth most violent city in the world: 18 of the 50 cities that are part of this list are located in Mexico

Look what happened in Brazil when the conservatives got back in power and made it legal to kill motorcycle riding assailants.

Karma Compilation: Thieves on motorcycles being dealt with by citizens in Brazil
(warning very graphic!)

Remember that Latin Americans think any day is a good day to die. Violence an integral heartbeat to their life. Yet many or most are peaceful most of the time. It is much more like the jungle in terms of the human action, e.g. drivers sometimes make sudden, dangerous decisions. But the statistics are that personal safety is really not any better in the West with deaths due to random events such as vehicular accidents orders-of-magnitude higher than murders.

Control freaks (i.e. Westerners) thus have an irrational bias towards the control they actually don’t have.

Comment:

They laundered $40B through Ukraine.

Nor does he get money “direct from the federal reserve” (well he does now in a sense, but that is not how he is became wealthy) There is some elaborate government laundering before it gets into the Soros account, and then some of it goes back into the muppet account. I describe that laundering. What is my description?

And in fact no one gets money “directly from the federal reserve” – there is always an elaborate game of three card monte, albeit lately it is has been getting a lot more direct.

The nearest thing to direct funding, which happens a lot these days, but used to be more elaborately covered, is that people sell debt of dubious value in the open market to nominally private buyers in quasi statal but not direct state employment who buy it knowing that they can, and probably will, resell it to the federal reserve. But the worthless debt that passed through Soros’ hands used to be far more elaborately covered, and as far as I know still is.

When fixed exchange rates went away, so did his strange ability to predict exchange rate changes, and instead a different mechanism was applied to channel government funds to him. Instead he would buy up worthless third world debt, and the World Bank, aka the US taxpayer, would make the debt worth something.

So why this strange generosity to Soros by the US state department?

Soros is a laundry for US government money. They funnel money to him, and he funnels money to ngos that carry out US government policy in foreign lands. Ngo stands for “non governmental organization”, but ngo employees supposedly funded by Soros tend to think of themselves and call themselves government employees. They are on a revolving door between official government employment and unofficial government employment, and often continue to work at the same desk in the same office regardless of who their salary is billed to.

@Derbs Biz the U.S.–Mexico land border has never been closed during the pLandemic to U.S. citizens in either direction whether crossing by feet or vehicle. I don’t think they can close it because the drug cartels would create mayhem as their drug business requires the high volume border flow. And the mafia running the USG is probably connected with the cartels, e.g. former Attorney General Eric Holder’s Fast & Furious gun running. The official proclamations were not the reality on the actual border in my experience. Commercial airline flights are a vulnerability. If you plant a child in Mexico while a resident, you will be given citizenship rather quickly. Ditto Peru and Colombia.

The world is hurtling towards a nuclear WW3.

Comment:

My counter-point is not that those discussing forming a community aren’t expressing sincerity and some semblance of capability. Rather that human nature is that we do not know people well until a) we have seen their worst which usually requires months of intimate interaction and b) that percentage of people who will hold themselves together through the worst coming will be small out of the people who might seem capable now.

Especially pooling resources will end horribly as you were the first to point out to me. Surprised you would become so “desperate” (without other options?) as to go against your wise insight on that.

The reason is that pooling resources is a leadership vacuum and nobody will agree if they are not forced to. The dynamics combined with shifts in situations for different individuals as the SHTF will put pressures on the arrangement causing it blow up in innumerable ways. Humans are complex enough without adding the shit-storm we are headed into. Just realize how difficult it is for you and your wife to find a mate who you can both tolerate and extrapolate that out.

I urge you to not pool resources. If you and your wife can not afford it independently then do not do it.

On a more abstract level note that community does not form from the bottom up out of desire, because humans are naturally antithetical to community. Community forms out of emergent economic necessity and it’s only those economic forces that hold it together. So planning out a community is nonsensical. The only communities that function are those that formed organically, unplanned from emergent forces. This BTW is why TPTB have so much power, because humans can’t plan out their groupwise reorganization — even the mass migration to Florida recently wasn’t a premeditated plan but rather an organic phenomenon due to emergent forces that intensified during the pLandemic. Typically communities form out of some initial, critical mass of economic activity which creates friendship/kinship connections which draw others to that nexus and it metastasizes organically. To attempt to gel around a shit-storm threat that none of the participants have yet to experience is the height of the arrogance of the DETERMINISTIC (thus fragile) plans of mice and men. Only organic systems are resilient as there are many actors and trials with PROBABILISTIC (thus anti-fragile) outcomes in play forming an emergent feedback system.

How likely that is I’ve no idea.”

Americans aren’t going to just stand in one place. Americans will as they did in the Revolutionary War exploit any and every decentralized advantage. Americans are pragmatic a.f.. You know uncivilized, rednecks don’t really care how they skin their hunt as long as the barbecue sauce is thick and tasty.

I think Rothschild (and/or the power vacuum I wrote about in the abstract) has put the Bolsheviks in a situation where they can’t reverse course nor take any abortive course. The 87,000 I.R.S. troops is desperation. This situation is possibly to turn hot soon. Even if they just go after what they think are docile small business, they might eat more hot, flying lead in 'dem hills than they anticipated. Some Americans (millions?) will fight every which way, including in the courts, gerrymandering, voting with their feet, emploring county Sheriffs to deputize the citizenry to stand down the Feds, etc.. Which means different outcomes in different locales thus America having different levels of destruction depending on locale. The fragmentation of the USA that Armstrong predicted is underway.

We’re not near the Sri Lanka outcome yet because Americans are still eating well. But we don’t take kindly to the KING stealing from us. Americans will route towards the most efficient and least belligerent solutions until they have no other choice, e.g. mass migration to Florida from woke Blue States.

Something Smell About the Raid of Trump

> Back in October 2020, Trump issued had issued a major declassification order for every Russiagate document. He also included every former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton document to be declassified. Sources in Washington suggest that the National Archives is playing politics and has ignored the declassification of all the RussiaGate documents. The raid of Trump appears to be a move to protect the full disclosure of what took place under RussiaGate. This may get far worse if the true scope of the seized documents ends up being revealed. Let’s see what surfaces. The president has the power to declassify any document. This is raising serious questions as to what is going on at the National Archieves.

Comment:

Trump says he declassified Mar-a-Lago documents. Experts say it's unclear whether that will hold up

Kash Patel, a Pentagon chief of staff during the Trump administration, told Breitbart News in May that the documents previously recovered from Mar-a-Lago had been declassified by Trump, but their markings were not updated. “Trump declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought the American public should have the right to read themselves,” Patel said then.

“It’s information that Trump felt spoke to matters regarding everything from Russiagate to the Ukraine impeachment fiasco to major national security matters of great public importance — anything the president felt the American people had a right to know is in there and more,” Patel said then, adding that he was with Trump when the then-president said, “We are declassifying this information.”

Patel, who declined comment on the documents this week, told Breitbart that the “White House counsel failed to generate the paperwork to change the classification markings, but that doesn’t mean the information wasn’t declassified.”

A source who had discussed the matter with Trump but was not authorized to reveal those conversations said the former president wasn't concerned with formal protocol.

"We’ve told him there’s a process and not following it could be a problem but he didn’t care because he thinks this stuff is dumb,” the source said. “His attitude is that he is the president. He is in charge of the country and therefore national security. So he decides.”

More climate change nonsense:

@Simon economies-of-scale is a thing — 1000 dispersed versus one intensified. Men who don’t comprehend economics shouldn’t trust themselves to comment on topics that require that knowledge. Wind doesn’t blow all the time thus can’t provide base load. Also wind power distributes the eyesore and deleterious environment impacts (bird kills, wildlife and foliage impacts, etc) over a huge area. Driving across some areas of CA is downright fugly with square miles of wind turbines eyesore. Or look at the formerly beautiful beach in Bagui Bay, Philippines now an eyesore. “Harvard researchers found that the warming effect of wind turbines in the continental U.S. was actually larger than the effect of reduced…”

@First name Last name what you mean to say more generally is carbon-based fuels. But we have massively benefited from carbon in the atmosphere. These dimwits should search for the video from 180 IQ Freeman Dyson on this topic. The more carbon, the more verdant the planet. A warm planet corresponds with rising economic outcomes and a cooling planet (which is what we are entering now as confirmed by the non-lying scientists!) corresponds to pestilence and Dark Ages. The idiocy and propaganda consumption among the masses is off-the-charts.

> So, just how much intervention of the human body and mind can take place and still retain humanity? I realise that many of the dreams of Transhumanists are pie in the sky, but the intention is clearly there. I'm not entirely sure how your Knowledge Age fits with Transhumanism; what you would consider beyond the pale, if anything. I should stress again, I'm not having a dig. Merely curious if you would consider the greater capacity for collecting, storing, assimilating data and uploading it, within a modified body to be one aspect of the advancement of the Knowledge Age. For me, applying any evolving technological advances would need to be on my own terms, as retaining personal autonomy and sovereignty are paramount - and I'm guessing would be for you too, more or less. Otherwise we might as well be batteries in The Matrix, or some semi-sentient node within the global hive mind.

Thanks for raising this point because ostensibly the necessary understanding hasn’t been conveyed by my prior explanations perhaps because mine were too dispersed, high-level and abstract (and note for readers outside my small, private Telegram group, I haven’t yet published externally all of my prior comments on this topic which require some redaction).

Some of the possible technologies overlap thus the technological buzzwords implying some superficial similarity of concepts to my writings about a DECENTRALIZED Knowledge Age, Yuval et al (i.e. Klaus Schwab’s W.E.F. with its CENTRALIZED communist-fascist “stakeholder capitalism”, its CENTRALIZED planning U.N. NWO takeover model, its alliance with BlackRock the owner of the U.S. Fed, and its pronouncement, ‘you will own nothing, eat grasshoppers and be happy’).

But there’s no actual similarity and in fact the two are antithetical, because these are central planners who believe they can decide for humanity which technologies we need and how they should be applied. Whereas the free market, real “Fourth Industrial Revolution” is uncontrollable by central planners, decentralized, organic and what will benefit humanity the most because certainly humans won’t adopt what is not economically beneficial to themselves.

These central planners imagine themselves to be so self-important but they are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. They imagine that only a few people will be relevant because most people aren’t STEM-field career, tech-savvy wizards, but everyone who embraces the DECENTRALIZED Knowledge Age will find a role (and note many ignorant idiots can’t get their ‘one track’, atrophied “brains” unstuck from statism, centralization, socialism, propaganda, etc and thus will perish). Malthusians have never been correct. Every technological revolution creates more jobs than it destroys. (I was collecting research on these assertions but have not written that blog yet)

You imagine that for example the ability to hook our brain into a computer will be diabolical and dehumanizing but it doesn’t have to be. Those who become entrapped by or choose to follow and perish with the central planners might become collateral damage to these insane, megalomaniac, idiotic (yes Bill Gates is a high IQ idiot, Musk is correct) attempts to centrally plan which will ultimately fail. Those who choose similar technology but without the centralized, diabolical shit enabled can benefit from the technology. This is analogous to I can choose to buy a spyware Android or Apple smartphone or I can rootkit my phone and run a non-spyware OS. I can even purchase an expensive smartphone that purports to have non-spyware hardware.

Technology will advance and it will be glorious because knowledge will increase, we will become more wealthy and easier lives than $billionaires have today, just as contemporaneous plebs have a higher standard of living than the nobility of the past.

I hope you finally get it!?

@Simon I decline your strawman. You cherry picked an ancillary point and misattributed it as a main point that has nothing to do with my unequivocal economics points. My ancillary, environmental points were OBVIOUSLY to mainly point out the hypocrisy of soi-disant, righteous, holier-than-thou environmentalists claiming to be protecting the environment with their predatory, destructive politics. Wind power isn’t intensive enough to be economical and blowing most of the time is still not adequate for base load. Wind power would not be installed at all if not the societalcide, kleptocracy, kakistocracy politics (except in rare scenarios where for example its the most accessible option) — which will be self-immolating along with all those who remain hitched to and apologists for it. Stop trying to straddle the middle of the fence between astute logic and the slobbering, politically correct Overturn window idiocracy. I have no mercy for those intransigent, unwilling to learn when cordially provided multiple, polite hints. Yes my lateral ancestor was Isaac Shelby so now you know my first name which was formerly a family name. And my father of the same name (Jr.) was the West Coast Division Head Attorney for Exxon who graduated #1 from a prestigious law school. My witty, leftist mother has a confirmed 137 IQ.

> “@First name Last name well you are indirectly suggesting that wind power is too expensive to be useful. Yes I am aware that nuclear power is the most stable source of electricity right now and I myself am all for keeping a large portion of it until there is an actual viable solution. As you said, most other technologies aren't quite there yet. However you will never find other solutions if you never even try to build them. How are they supposed to get cheaper if you never build them in bigger quantities ? New relibale technologies don't just pop into existence, they need time and over many iterations they will be in a state in which they become profitable enough to exist without government funding.”

@Simon wind turbines are already ~80% of maximum Betz’s law efficiency, so no amount of R&D is going to improve the situation. Levelized comparisons of generation costs factor in all the regulatory and politicized factors. Without those, natural gas is by far the most economical and also because it supplies base load which wind and solar can’t. Levelized solar costs are several times higher so even efficiency advances aren’t going to help. All we are doing to committing societalcide by making a big drama about carbon when in fact carbon is entirely beneficial and contrary to propaganda our planet is actually entering a Maunder Minimum cooling cycle that threatens food production. Not the time for us to be shutting down our reliable, carbon-based energy systems. Demonizing natural gas and Pootin has now eviscerated the supply of fertilizer. The Planet of the Apes idiocracy. Enjoy it!

Comment:

@Simon stimulating demand with government subsidies (in any form such as predatory regulation of alternatives) to increase economies-of-scale in production to drive unit costs down (most especially applicable to solar panels and not wind turbines), is fraught with the problems of unintended ramifications and lack of omniscience in such planning. For example if overstimulate solar installations then the base load capacity must be reduced (because it’s a depreciating asset sitting idle when the sun is shining) so it won’t be available if demand is high when the sun doesn’t shine. It may make sense if summer daytime demand for airconditioning is very high and winter heat is provided by natural gas piped into homes. But most modern homes inefficiently generate heat with electricity because it’s safer. If the government would apply such subsidies to highly efficient petrol engines (or at least stop penalizing and attempting to destroy petrol engines) then we would see more advances such as Mazada’s Skyactive technology.

Argentina is interesting and with the economy imploding everything will become cheap again (e.g. land) for foreigners to buy.

And to stop this nonsense of criminally prosecuting the law-abiding person who defends against a criminal. Latin Americans are illogical on this and related issues. Descendants of founding stock of the USA (e.g. myself a lateral descendant of Revolutionary War General Isaac Shelby) reject that facet of hierarchical, nobility-centralized-authority-statism-based European society and culture.

Given the fact that said country is situated on the ring of fire, which is a tectonically highly active region, I would argue this to be one of your rare scenarios in which wind power becomes the most accessible or even least dangerous option. Or the current situation in Ukraine for instance with the Zaporizhzhya plant in the middle of a war zone shows another example of what can go wrong under certain conditions. I understand where your opinion is coming from but nuclear is simply not a one size fits all solution. It does it’s job well however you can’t rely on it alone.”

@Simon that’s a more reasoned reply. Yet you’re still projecting false assumptions; my father and I have much different personalities and ethics (and he is not against environmentalism), other than I share his work-aholic discipline. I harbor no illogical aversion to any sensible renewables. I am against the collapse of our Western civilization underway, which is going to be much more catastrophic than imagined boogeymen FUD that keep self-righteous, holier-than-thou environmentalists up at night. And as George Carlin quipped in Saving the Planet about the hypocrisy has nothing to do with actual environmentalism, “self-righteous, environmentalists, these white, bourgeoisie liberals who think the only think wrong with this country is there aren’t enough bicycle paths … trying to make the world safe for their Volvos.”

Pootin is positioning his rockets next to or in the nuclear reactor compounds ostensibly to dare the instigators of this war (and no Pootin wasn’t the instigator) to create a nuclear holocaust if they want to continue their $40B of money laundering corruption in the guise of war in Ukraine. Note there is sodium-salts, solid-state cooling technology for nuclear reactors that would virtually eliminate all safety concerns but ostensibly because of the idiocracy politics nothing is ever allowed for R&D of nuclear. And we need more carbon in the atmosphere to fight against the egregious global cooling coming 2030 (sunspots almost non-existent!) and Texas and Louisana have abundant supplies of natural gas if our predatory, Bolshevik, leftist-holiness-spiral politics would stop destroying our carbon-based economy.

Wind power is not working well! I was in Texas in during the winter of 2020/21 when the power was out for days and we were freezing. The base load of Texas has been destroyed by the meddling of the Feds with their economic incentives for renewables (also ostensibly corruption or incorrect incentives in the Texas system), as I explained to you abstractly in my prior comment. When you can no longer eat, then maybe you will understand how myopic your comments are! Moore’s law is for transistor physics not the unit cost economies-of-scale of solar due to a doubling of production — a law of physics versus an economics effect. I already explained to you in the abstract and now backed it with the Texas example, that the unintended effects of subsidizing production could end up starving you to death. Enjoy the Planet of the Apes idiocracy that you ostensibly desire!

I appreciate the distinction between a centralised and decentralised Knowledge Age.

So, without central planners deciding for you what kind of tech goes into your body to "enhance" it, I'm curious what you would welcome on your own terms, knowing that no-one was sharing information or had any control over you.

I know you've said you would consider something like stem cell treatment that might restore sight in your eye in the future, but what about "merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind" (to quote Schwab)? Would you welcome such an "enhanced" and constantly evolving humanity that incorporated such technological advances into the body, that would extend the capabilities of humans beyond their present biological ceiling?

I realise there isn't an enormous conceptual leap regarding the tech we surround ourselves with now and increasingly rely upon now to make the move to placing it within our bodies instead - if there were no unwanted side-effects, and it would be reversible if desired. My concern is if such an accelerated evolution might result in unwanted consequences, and that numerous "superpowers" once experienced would be very difficult to put back in their box once experienced.

I can easily see many people embracing something like this contact lens. I wonder at what point we might endanger our sanity; if we could accommodate so much more information coming into our minds, and consciousness, or if instead we would take it in our stride, like telephones, cars, television, computers.

There are bound to be a significant minority of people who reject some or all of this tech, somewhat like the Amish now. But the divide will be so much greater than we experience now, almost as if the burgeoning "Bionic Man" was a new species. I know you have never wanted to take mind-altering drugs, but doesn't the course we're on suggest we'd be embracing mind-altering tech instead? Are you anticipating something like this from "Years and Years? "It is absolute joy".

Shelby Moore, {8/17/22 2:06 AM}

> "It is absolute joy"

That particular example seems like the antithesis of “3. Focus (remove dopamine addiction diversions).” So I doubt that will be an economically viable strategy.

> “I know you've said you would consider something like stem cell treatment that might restore sight in your eye in the future”

Or even eyeglasses or a contact lens that communicates the images to my retina or optic nerve which both appear to still be at least partially function. The main destruction is I lost the lens in the eye and the iris no longer functions, so there’s no focus. When I experimented with a pin hole I was able to barely read very large letters closeup. Perhaps 3D-printed augmentation will help soon.

> “I'm curious what you would welcome on your own terms, knowing that no-one was sharing information or had any control over you.”

I would weigh the productivity benefits against any potential negative impacts. I am very conservative and skeptical about invasive bodily implements, so there would need to be compelling benefits and significant historical experience. If irreversible then the requisite bar would be raised even higher in that respect of reward vs. risk ratio.

> “My concern is if such an accelerated evolution might result in unwanted consequences, and that numerous "superpowers" once experienced would be very difficult to put back in their box once experienced.”

Extremely unlikely because free market, decentralized, organic adoption of new technologies is slow and diversified, especially in the nascent stage. So it is very unlikely for humanity to find a pathway to avoid resilient, antifragile, minority defection. The herd may be pushed to maladaption en masse by centralized incompetence and/or corruption, but there’s always an organic, diversified annealing in some portion of the population. Natural systems just don’t behave the way you fear, for the analogous entropic reason I previously explained why it’s very unlikely for anyone to be able to walk into a room and there be no oxygen there.

> “There are bound to be a significant minority of people who reject some or all of this tech, somewhat like the Amish now. But the divide will be so much greater than we experience now, almost as if the burgeoning "Bionic Man" was a new species.”

Significant? I do not count the Amish as significant. Meaningful yes, significant in terms of an insurance policy defection for resiliency yes, but not significant in the likely continued march to higher technology and the outcome of the world. The Amish are retrograde troglodytes that are likely to go extinct. They are falling so far behind in terms of applied knowledge and you’re correct that gap is accelerating for those Amish that don’t adopt technology. Farming will become so poverty inducing that soon they will be living at what today we would consider to be Stone Age or pre Stone Age existence.

Whilst you are so enamored with atavistic lifestyle, just contemplate how much you would scorn a Stone Age existence. There is nothing dehumanizing about amplifying our knowledge and brains by any means most beneficial for maximizing it. The entropy of natural systems will insure there’s not some non-antifragile, blackhole fork in the technological road that everyone falls into.

An Alleged Tornado Cash Developer Was Arrested. Are You Next?

There are certain things about writing code that are pretty cut and dry. At least in the U.S., merely publishing code on Github is almost always legal if it’s an original idea – even for controversial things like ghost guns and crypto mixers. That’s a legacy of the so-called cryptography wars 30 years ago: Code is a language, cryptography is speech and the government is constitutionally prevented from banning its production under, say, munitions regulations.

The situation gets dicier when you move beyond the act of writing. “Without commenting on Tornado Cash specifically, acts like providing help to someone who wants to use the code, uploading a mixing smart contract to a protocol or operating a web app which can hook into a user’s MetaMask wallet strays into potentially criminal territory,” Preston Byrne, a lawyer who specializes in cybercrime and crypto, told Motherboard this week.

IRS Agents Training to Raid Homes

The Internal Revenue Service 2021 report contains a bit more information about who the IRS aims to target – you. These special IRS Criminal Investigation agents are armed and ready to prevent a penny from leaving the government’s control. After only six months of training, these armed accountants will learn how to use weapons and other law enforcement tactics against the general population.

Agents at the National Criminal Investigation Training Academy (NCITA) participated in mock raids on suburban houses. The Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) is followed by a 14-week NCITA Special Agent Investigative Techniques (SAIT) course. “The SAIT program trains new agents in tax law, evidence gathering, interviewing, report writing, methods of proving unreported income, and money laundering violations. It also provides physical fitness conditioning and use of force training, which includes firearms, weaponless tactics, and building entry,” the report states.

Additionally, agents will need to complete quarterly training in “firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry.” How often do they plan to raid homes under the guise of taxes? The report states that these agents will “use good judgment” in order “to apply the appropriate degree of force necessary to safely carry out enforcement activities, including issuing search warrants, arrests, surveillance, dignitary protection, undercover activities, and seizures.”

They are not doing this on a grand scale to target drug dealers and organized crime leaders. The government is preparing an independent army of IRS agents who can work undercover, spy on citizens, and seize assets under their “good judgment.” Very “Orwellian” indeed.

Comment:

Ah the other facet of the plan to make legacy Bitcoin the only thing still standing after all… 😱

Note I think a smart contract oracle can call an off-chain, chain analysis API. The consensus algorithm can affirm the veracity of these oracles, but such oracle calls will be very costly because they can’t be incorporated into a recursive STARK proof and thus don’t scale. Note if the users don’t care about taint (because they don’t intend to off-ramp to fiat and feel their identity is adequately obscured and/or their balances are too small and herd of such users is too large) then no need for off-chain, chain analysis API. I.O.W. mixed, private crypto is the only form of smart contracting crypto that survives!

And mixed, private crypto receives all the tainted capital in the entire cryptocosm! Bingo! Tie this together with my prior comments on this issue.

Is crypto still fungible?

{…}

Also, to be safe, this restriction may be applied to Tornado tainted coins from before the OFAC listing. And since Tornado is an Ethereum thing, and Ethereum uses accounts {balances} rather than true coins (UTXOs), any tainted inputs taint a whole account—creating maximum taint amplification.

And since WBTC is a thing, taint chains can stretch over to Bitcoin or to any other coin. As for privacy coins—writes the compliance staff—Tornado used the same tech, zero-knowledge proofs. It is safe to say that ZCash, etc, fall under the same regulatory precedent—meaning that anything that has touched a privacy coin is also tornadoed.

What ensues is an arms race in taint defense. Anyone who accepts any coin has to check a tornado API. An on-chain API can check against the OFAC list—it can’t do chain analysis. This shuts down any on-chain exchange of value—nobody wants to be caught exchanging clean coin for tornadoed coin. Moreover, holders of tainted coin will look for every avenue to remove the taint, even if that avenue may not necessarily work—if it may be traceable enough to taint the clean coin.

As this fear spreads downward from the most reputable exchange, it’s devil take the hindmost. The last people who still accept dirty coin are liable to end up with all of it.

{…}

In a way this is not so bad, because “DeFi” is before its time. But the loss of crypto fungibility, or at least onchain fungibility (because, again, onchain taint analysis is not practical) also deals a crippling blow to any kind of smart contract. It returns crypto to its core function—which is not even commerce, but merely a medium of saving.

> "Natural systems just don’t behave the way you fear"

Agreed mostly. In contrast to the would be accelerated and forced adoption by the WEF crowd. So, we need to progress along the path of that natural and organic adoption of technology, also being aware that some advances may be injurious to humanity. That not all innovation is progress. We see evidence of blind alleys of evolution over many millennia within nature.

I still wonder if humans have the capacity for sufficient wisdom given our technical ingenuity. We can see how social media use can often fuck people's heads up, especially the young. Not to mention the corrosive effect of access to unlimited online porn, so that socially inept, basement-dwelling incels can now choose to have virtual sex with anyone they fancy, without having to make any effort to adjust their interaction and adjustment to real individuals out there. I think there is a real risk of increasing sociopathy if more of us are encouraged to divorce ourselves from the tangible world. By that, I'm not saying we should never stray from the tangible world, as there would appear to be many opportunities lost otherwise, but that we have some kind of considered and sensible relationship to virtual realities.

While in numbers the Amish are not significant, I wrote that they amongst others represent a wider group of people who are advanced tech hesitant, shall we say. Rather like the widening gulf between rich and poor over the last couple of years, the gap is also growing between the cutting edge of technological evolution and aspiration, compared to how, say, the Amish presently live (I realise that related groups such as the Mennonites have varying levels of acceptance of technology in their lives).

> "The Amish are retrograde troglodytes that are likely to go extinct."

Hunter gatherer tribes still exist dotted around the globe: the Amazon, Namibia etc, who are either unaware of "civilisation" outside of their communities, or who purposely keep their distance from us. So, even though their lives are closer to that of Stone Age peoples, we still co-exist - I believe this was also the case with early humans going back two or three hundred thousands years, certainly back to Neanderthals (who now represent ~4% of our DNA), who may have actually taught more modern humans cave art etc - these are more recent findings. So, I don't think it's the case that self-selecting legacy humans will necessarily become extinct.

> "Whilst you are so enamored with atavistic lifestyle, just contemplate how much you would scorn a Stone Age existence."

No, I'm not really signing up to tear flesh from the bones of wild animals with my teeth while sporting a bearskin. I'm not aware of ever suggesting I desire a Stone Age lifestyle. Just because I don't relish living much of my life in the cloud, it doesn't mean I want to go back in time. There are lessons and methods from the past that can be utilised now, alongside the benefits of modern technology. Some kind of balance, that's all.

Many will likely be coerced and tricked, that’s their ignorant, apathetic destiny. There can be an accelerating mass societalcide (and increasingly appears we are threatened by one now) but the probability of it exterminating the human species is unlikely. The more they self-immolate, the better for those who are resourceful and not woke. Most humans don’t have the capacity but some do and that's all nature needs.

Again I agree those legacy cultures linger on for resiliency. Entropically driven nature is quite clever and that’s an example. Extinct was too strong of a claim. I should claim increasingly marginalized to the asymptotic limits, e.g. the untouched hunt and gatherers are extremely small in number by now.

> “Why are you suggesting I'm mind controlled by the TV?”

Influenced enough to fear the drama of a TV show could become the inescapable reality. I avoid those dramas designed to spike our dopamine or cortisol. Maybe a mass psychosis can lead to a vast majority committing societalcide as portrayed by that drama, but even if it does (which is dubious) it will just be self-immolation clearing the way for those of us resourceful enough to step into the clearing free of idiocracy.

That’s why I am attempting to be resourceful to avoid becoming entrapped as collateral damage.

Comment:

Comprehensive long-term projection follow-up on the mathematician’s published idea:

My observations after studying the charts intensively last night and this morning.

The December 2018 bottom to the March 2020 corona dump is repeating. The proportional duration (prior:current) could be 1:1, 11:13 or 2:3; I’m leaning to the middle (second) one. Timing wise the crypto markets are much more tightly correlated to the S&P than in 2018. Bitcoin is languishing as it did in early 2019 until it went parabolic after ETH periscoped its 200 daily SMA and BTC surmounted the same and its overhead resistance downtrend line (which is currently ~$29k); expecting a repeat. Implications include a crypto top in December 2022, January or March 2023 respectively and a massive corona-like flash crash from a final peak August, October 2023 or March 2024. Martin Armstrong’s DJIA Forecast Array has an aggregate peak and long-term, trading cycle for January 2023. A May 2023 bottom could follow a January crypto top with the Fed forced to become more dovish as they did Oct/Nov 2019 corresponding to a Panic Cycle in May 2023 on said Forecast Array. The early 2018, late 2018 and 2020 S&P crashes have monotonically increased in percentage by a factor of 1.75; which projects to -62.5% for the next one; and from top (~5700 – 6100) to bottom in less than 2 months! Pootin invades the Sulwaki Corridor? Monkeypox is crowned?

Near-term whether there’s a leg higher interim, S&P must decline between 3960 to 4090 — probably the latter only. ETH may decline into the low 1400s. BTC should not decline below $20.7k. I believe the markets have been in a terminal impulse wave status since major EW count wave 2 for the corona dump retraced more than 61.8% of major wave 1, thus all wave counts should be A-B-C even on non-corrective, impulse waves. Counting from the June bottom in waves of 3 seems to make more sense than a posited 5 wave count?

ETH currently retraced log-scaled 0.382 Fib contrasted with 0.236 for the posited corresponding juncture in early 2019; BTC has comparable Fib amplification. Whereas the Nasdaq and S&P currently retraced 0.5 and 0.618 respectively contrasted with 0.618 and 0.618/0.786 in early 2019. This may portend 53 – 63k BTC, 3400 – 3800 ETH, 4831 S&P and 16050 Nasdaq for the Q1 2023 top. And 53 – 75k BTC, 3400 – 6000 ETH, 5550 S&P and 21389 Nasdaq for the posited final top before the posited -62% flash crash. I’m leaning to the higher values for crypto reflected in the aforementioned relative Fib amplification, because unlike 2019 when crypto was in a disbelief stage, crypto is more digested now and once the Fed turns dovish then crypto FOMO will surge.

Comment:

I am not bullish on ADA. Maybe to hit $1.20 by Q1 2023, but to decline below 1 cents again in the late 2023 or early 2024 flash crash. Well BTC and ETH to decline below $10k and $150 then also.

Possible explanation is ADA has slow development and proof-of-stake is doomed.

Comment:

Or one could argue as Ron Walker does that because markets have been pushed higher on the bull trap rally, then drop will be worse.

But what is the catalyst for that? Inflation is moderating, companies are still reporting good earnings in the U.S., consumer spending, jobs and wages not yet declining. And massive amounts of cash still on the sidelines with many still betting short. Are they going to sit in cash while the ~20% inflation debases purchasing power? Would need to be some black swan with Russia? In an election year? Sept/Oct is often choppy and volatile, especially in an election year.

In 2021 the Elon Musk and Michael Saylor hype. In 2020 was the tech bubble driven by the pLandemic lockdowns and massive stimulus. In 2019 it was the QE momentum from the Great Recession coupled with the dead cat enthusiasm from the altcoin FOMO bubble of 2017. Coming off the 2022 bottom has been the ETH merge. Altcoin gaming with transportable NFTs may be the next hype. Also Kevin O’Leary has been pushing the theme that sovereign wealth funds are coming very soon into Bitcoin and BlackRock recently enabled custodial purchasing facilitated by Coinbase! BlackRock owns the Fed and Treasury Dept!The markets are flooded with cash from the QE and stimulus, and that cash has to go some where so that the whales can fleece the greater fool dolphins and minnows.

Remember the game theory prerequisite to take Bitcoin to a nosebleed price and onboard everyone the-powers-that-be want to destroy/fleece, before the ANYONECANSPEND attack can be unleashed.

Comment:

Sorry Adam I believe you will be left behind on this. Reevaluate your imminent doom. Doom takes time to play out. Stuff happens interim. You can not win in investing by being afraid. Emotional investors are destroyed. You must have conviction so as to ignore the volatility.

Adam the logic in everything overhyped is the entire world is maladapted due to the money printing. The way the system destroys itself and the powers-that-be attempt to consolidate everything is by overhyping and then crashing, wash-rinse-repeat. The charts have patterns which are a roadmap to these actions, because the markets can’t hide their order in chaos. The data is public.

Don’t take a simpleton perspective that everything must just crash in one move. Entropy and natural systems never behave like that. Notice how everything moved back to a peak in January 2020 before the implosion. And the insiders were selling that peak. Insiders are not selling now! They are buying now at the juncture where most people are very afraid that the recession will get much worse before it gets better as indicated by sentiment surveys. Yet when asked about their own finances, they are spending like nothing changed.

Since this bottom Google searches for bull trap are on a giganormous spike up. On this rally the searches for bear trap have also started to rise, thus the need for a pullback to keep the majority afraid and sitting on their hands while the market runs away from them (and they end up buying the top).

The psychology of the markets is manipulating you. There’s no surety with markets and those who want surety will be destroyed as biblical proverbs warns. There’s only probabilities.

Comment:

I annotated this VIX chart in the summer of 2021 and published it.

The VIX chart narrative. The bull-market, declining channel from 2010 to 2018, which turned into a bullish (for VIX bearish for stocks) ascending triangle or wedge from 2018 to 2020. Then the massive spike bull move corresponding to the corona, pLandemic flash crash. Then the bull-market, declining channel from Q2 2020 to Q4 2021, with the market-bearish, bullish VIX breakout peaking to the projected measured move.

VIX has essentially repeated December 2018 to February 2019 already; and now appears poised to repeat pattern from week of February 19. VIX appears to be in another bullish (for VIX bearish for stocks) wedge with a massive spike (market flash crash) breakout to follow in Q3 or Q4 2023. nitial, spike up breakout (i.e. markets correction) may be in Q2 2023 then calm down again for several months.

All proceeding exactly as the chart projected! If we would just stop ignoring this chart structure, we would be very wealthy from speculative investments.

Notice the bull-market, declining channels are becoming shorter in duration and steeper; thus the next one from 2024 may be only 6 months in duration and near vertical — can readers repeat after me, “ANYONECANSPEND Bitcoin attack followed by vertical, catapult of legacy Bitcoin”! The monetary, economic and political system is self-immolating. Nuclear WW3 (against China-Russia-N.Korea-Iran) surely on tap for ~2025 with Russia-NATO conflict as early as H2 2023.

Comment:

I studied the chart history for a significant sampling of these altcoins.

I’ve soured on this (NFT and gaming) altcoin moon thesis as BTC breaks out above ~$29k. Rather it looks like a repeat of H1 2019 where all these look to be nearing their peaks as priced in BTC and once BTC breaks out above $29k, it will suck the air out of all the alts (at least in terms of leverage over BTC) as it also did in H2 2020. Better to wait on all these until at least the posited bottom in May 2023 for the rally into the final high. It’s not altcoin season in earnest. The Bitcoin Dominance with stable coins removed looks bullish to me with the ETH merge hype as a dead cat rally only.

The proof-of-work fork of ETH will duplicate and double the supply of all ERC-20 altcoin tokens after the merge causing chaos and sell pressure — another reason for a pullback incoming and probably an overhang on the altcoins for some months. These (including my recent comments about the loss of fungibility) are revealing the untenable dogesh8t that altcoins are.

Armstrong is correct that Western civilization is devolving and eventually it will be like how Rome collapsed from 1.3M to 30k inhabitants as everyone will just flee. I’m accelerating my planning and preparations to bug-out.

“Our modern world is falling into the same trap that destroyed the Byzantine Empire. They created so many laws that they often said that they employed more tax collectors than there were people left to pay taxes.”

{…}

“One friend I knew who was a policeman said that everyone was guilty of something.

One legal professor even wrote a book on that subject – “Three Felonies a Day.” That is the entire problem. There are so many laws that everyone commits something that would justify their arrest every day. For example, adultery is technically illegal in 21 states. Cheating on your spouse in Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, among others, have felony charges against it. Adultery, or having an intimate relationship with someone other than your spouse, is a Class 3 offense in Arizona, and a sentence of up to 30 days in prison is possible.

To be charged with a felony then deprives you of owning a gun or ammunition. So, adultery and just possessing a gun or ammunition will land you in prison for five years. I saw a Vietnam Vet get five years because he had an empty shell from Vietnam on a chain around his neck, and he was sentenced to five years in prison as the prosecutor claimed he could fill the drilled holes, pour in gunpowder, and that was good enough for five years in prison.”

Let’s analyse the pattern. 2019 almost got back to the ATH and that appears to be repeating except note in 2019 that stock markets did make ATHs and crypto is more correlated with stock markets now than in 2019 (as evidenced by the relative Fib amplification compared to 2019, crypto bottoming on same day and other metrics of correlation).

Notice that 2020 printed a new ATH after 2018 red year. Whereas only 2017 was new ATH after 2014 red year. 2019 was more correlated to stocks and 2022 even more correlated.

2024 will be a near vertical move to an egregiously higher high ~$1 million for legacy Bitcoin after a crash to $7k or lower.

thus the next one from 2024 may be only 6 months in duration and near vertical

I don’t think Trump is desperate by asking AG Garland how they can reduce the heat. He is confidently pointing out that the leftists are self-immolating.

Reminds me of my high school Trigonometry teach (a black female) who failed me for not drawing boxes around my ALWAYS CORRECT answers because I rarely showed up for class only for the tests (had my father write excuse notes). Luckily the principal overruled her (as I was a star athlete). Like I am said, I am preparing to have one bug-out foot outside the West.

My small business was audited by the California State Tax Franchise Board circa ~1989ish and I remember how they tried to find any technicality. What Armstrong wrote is common.

Pelosi – Taiwan – China

QUESTION: With the bank runs in China, do you still think China will surpass the US economy? What about Pelosi’s trip? China’s response was more shock and see than anyone expected.

GD

ANSWER: Nothing has changed. But you have to understand that the decline in the US economy also benefits China’s rise. The Democrats are attacking corporations and hiring 87,000 IRS agents to harass the people. There comes a point where it no longer pays to work. They do not understand that. I used to manage money in the USA and quit in 1985. I handed back all the money and told clients I was retiring. The auditors were crazy. They view NOBODY as honest, so they will not leave until they can charge you with some infraction. Mine was the tabs on our files were “pink” not “red” so they were going to write me up for improper record keeping. I am not one to cower. That was it. I said, fine. I would close the business. IRS agents are no different, but now they will be armed. Later, the government had the audacity to say I was prejudiced against Americans and refused to manage their money. I warned Congress that they were forcing everyone offshore and thus began the hedge fund business. We are at such a crossroads, and the future does not look bright.

Real estate investing long-term versus speculative assets. My comment:

(Rich vs Poor: The Best Rule for Becoming a Millionaire.)

There’s two long-tail risks. 1) you can’t make the mortgage payment and a Great Recession eviscerates your equity. 2) The monetary system collapses and the mortgage system along with it. Both of these risks are increasing every year.

Comment:

ADD: The leverage risk in real estate is systemic. When the declining interest rates environment which has been in place since Volker comes to an end with a monetary reset then real estate plummets to cash prices.

Which is always a political problem. It used to only be Argentina, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Now the West is run by Bolsheviks also who intentionally created this crisis so that we will “own nothing and be happy” while they “build back better” after intentionally destroying it all.

> “Global import/exports levels are higher than pre-pandemic levels. It’s all MONETARY. 🤡 ”

@Stevie Wonders crude oil spiking was not driven by monetary demand but rather intentionally forcing Pootin into war. Most of the monetary inflation ends up in investment assets, not consumer spending. Consumer products supply can easily be increased if not for the Bolsheviks’ pLandemic lockdowns

> “Yes, but if there is less production and less consumption, the rich get less rich, which in turn affects the market and the economy.”

@Toofan Habib yes but timing and speculative inertia has to be factored in. The rich are getting richer as the monetary injections are siphoned through the greater fool paradigm of speculative investing. And the middle class drives the bulk of the consumer spending, not the bottom third. Meet Kevin and Game of Trades both recently pointed out that (if I remember correctly something like) although savings rate is down, the accumulated savings a percentage of disposable income has increased. The actual recession (the one with severe job losses, severely depressed corporate earnings and real estate down 30+%) will be in 2023 or 2024. It takes a while for the effect of higher interest rates to trickle through the economy. Meanwhile upper two-thirds (i.e. middle-class) Americans are flush with savings that they do not want to leave sitting in cash (while price inflation grinds away the pricing power) if they are no longer afraid of an imminent recession whose delay is becoming more and more clear to everyone. This massive selloff was FUD and fear driven, and thus will experience a FOMO reversion to new ATHs as an overreaction to the prior overreaction. This is the greater fool paradigm, as the most afraid will end up buying the top, lol.🤦🏻

> “@Toofan Habib all the data shows the consumer is strong. Look at almost every metric from the Fed from household debt as a ration of discretionary spending to personal savings rate. Consumer debt hit an all time low and personal savings skyrocketed in the first year of the pandemic.

@Wackzingo the price inflation was mostly supply side driven and intentionally by the Bolsheviks running the USA who executed the pLandemic hoax intentionally and pushed Pootin into a corner forcing him to do what he did. The CCP is employing the pLandemic lockdowns to hold on to power as their debt bubble implodes — and working with Brandon et al to create a scapegoat WW3 so they all remain in power. We plebs are ignorant a.f. to the realities. Our lamestream media is lying about the entire history of that situation but I need not elaborate that here. The salient point here is that inflation will moderate if supply chain disruption does, regardless of what the Fed does with interest rates. The Fed is engineering a recession so that they will be forced to hyperinflate again. The Fed and Treasury Dept is already owned by BlackRock as John Titus was able to figure out. The “you will own nothing, eat grasshoppers, rent and be a happy slave” plan is proceeding on schedule. In any case you are correct that there will be another risk-on bubble before the actual egregious Greater Recession by 2023 or 2024 and eventually Greater Depression coming within this decade. I am expecting a 62% flash crash for the S&P sometime in Q4 2023 or Q1 2024. And Bitcoin will crash from near new ATHs to below $7k.

@Tony Barfridge Jesus guided me through the morass. I had the print out of the eulogy from my grandfather’s 1996 funeral pasted on the wall above my computer, “Jesus is the granite upon which I stand, all else is sinking sand.” Seriously I spread much love in the Philippines and many Filipinos reciprocated, but my tank ran empty from the morass of the underside and struggle of it all as well as old age and accumulated bad health from it all — imagine how difficult it is for the Filipinos and generations of grinding poverty. Difficult to explain or even process. I am just warning foreigners that much of the Philippines is still a poverty stricken land and that comes with certain challenges that may wear a person down depending on their means, personality type, vocation, etc.. Being that I’m a computer programmer I was stuck in the house trying to generate income from (originally) a Nipa hut in a densely packed shanty. So I could not escape the noise. Could not afford to go on a vacation. Etc.. I am blind now in one eye since 12-1-1999, after my Filipina wife had flipped off some bad boys in Angeles City when I took my first vacation after years of grinding poverty, as they were insulting her something about she was too ugly for me and resembled the vagina of a pig. The Asian financial crisis was really hard on the Filipinos. Many were literally eating only grass. Maybe there‘s some improvement now in some facets, but it’s very spotty. And now the pLandemic corruption has been layered on top which most of Asia is strictly enforcing. The Philippines stands out as still requiring these toxic, useless jabs to enter as a tourist or even to apply for SRRV. I am not going back even though my love one is stuck there for the time being. I also grew weary of the lack of spontaneous, respectful and even philosophical interaction. In my last weeks in Manila, I encountered a couple from Peru who were not ashamed to be having a lively discussion in the elevator whereas Filipinos either go entirely silent or if they have dominating group they will crack some insulting jokes. And in Walmart, Sierra Vista, Arizona various older ladies joking with me such as nearly colliding shopping carts, etc.. The Filipinos are so conscious of how others are judging them. It was suffocating for me. As for scripture I am also applying 2 Timothy 3, “Have nothing to do with such people.” I noticed most Filipinos I encountered were entirely uninterested in the actual values of Christianity and church going was just a social event as Jesus warned in Matthew 6.

(ETHEREUM HODLERS… CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING (LEAKED AUDIO))

My comment:

Censored transactions is an inherent diabolical weakness of proof-of-stake which I warned about since 2015. I have been designing a solution in preparation for this forthcoming cryptopocalypse. I have devised a reprioritization within the blockchain trilemma (which is really a restatement of the CAP aka Brewster’s Theorem) which sacrifices Partition tolerance (aka forking) in exchange for weak subjectivity objectivity. Actually proof-of-work can censor also if the powers-that-be control 50+% of the network mining power. You will find my original discussions as username Anonymint with Charles Hoskinson and Daniel Larimer in 2013 on the official Bitcoin talk forum.

Comment:

All current consensus algorithms other than proof-of-work have the same censorship vulnerability. And no altcoin proof-of-work can survive because only the dominant PoW blockchain (i.e. legacy Bitcoin) will survive the mining difficulty non-readjustment attacks. I have seen all the counter arguments and refuted them all. The Cryptopocalypse is coming much sooner than most of you realize. Only a very few us realize that Bitcoin Core, BCH and BSV are all impostors that will be destroyed by the Anyone Can Spend restoration attack of the Nash equilibrium which will restore Satoshi’s legacy protocol. Only those who have BTC addresses that begin with 1 (not 3 nor bc1) will retain their legacy BTC which will otherwise be donated to the miners in the attack which will non-intuitively catapult legacy BTC (again not BCH nor BSV) to $1M valuation (because the miner’s reward drives the cost of mining which drives the valuation). I have been writing about this since 2015 but idiots never pay attention.

Stake is orthogonal to mining consensus with Nakamoto proof-of-work.

> “The trade-off they were talking in the call was not scalability but censorship resistance.”

Censorship resistance is related to the security or Consistency (in the CAP Theorem trilemma), e.g. the Miner’s Extraction Value from gaming the reordering of transactions. His point is they are trading off security or consistency for scalability.

> > “The trilemma applies only to single chain blockchains. Coins like Nano with a block lattice structure doesn't suffer from this.”
>
> “Not true, the more chains the less secure”

@GankMan agreed, more chains is either less secure (because the chains can game each other’s consensus) or more centralized (to prevent that).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=javNu2qXY-s&lc=Ugxu-aM-7IMyy-1m9Ch4AaABAg.9exHxQaiygy9eyCJ6PzbP0

> “This had nothing to do with scalability, mev boost has been implemented to handle mev which bogged down the chain in early 2021. Validators will still be able to validate on their own without using mev boost and the mev boost relay has been open sourced so that anyone that wants to can run their own relay, the reason this has to been done this way is to seperate block production and validation so that sophisticated players dont out-compete less sophisticated once. If this wasnt done then more sophisticated players could offer a higher apy as a staking provider then you could get as a solo validator, leading to centralization of staking. This is a problem that every smart contract chain will have to face once they get any value flowing on their chain.

Block production and validation are always intertwined at some level of the complex game theory economics regardless of the obfuscating technobabble (which I can parse but refuting every new instance with technological precision, becomes tiresome to play Whac-A-Mole with) deceptive and futile attempts to claim they are kept orthogonal by the protocol. You’re correct that MEV isn’t related to scalability but is an inherent issue with any externalities (i.e. dependencies) for ordering transactions; but Tornado Cash censorship was also mentioned which is related to scalability in the trilemma which must trade off some facets of centralization of consensus for scalability. Ultimately stakers can be forced to censor because their stake is censorable by other stakers — a tragedy-of-the-commons cascade. This is why proof-of-stake is doomed. There’s also the issue of fungibility being destroyed by the interaction with the fiat system and Ethereum’s account balances design makes that even worse as explained in 150+ IQ Curtis Yarvin’s recent Graymirror blog entitled, Is Crypto Still Fungible (). The transaction ordering issue (is complex and) must be properly addressed perhaps at the level of design of DApps and possibility also encrypted recording of transactions with decryption publicized off-chain.

I entirely disagree with Armstrong’s suspicion that the diabolical planners and powers-that-be are just stupid and didn’t anticipate the impacts. I also disagree with him that the CCP is not working together with the diabolical planners, as I said that to hold on to centralized power the CCP needs to construct foreign enemies and pLandemic lies. Even Putin is probably part of the scam and laughing his head off that Russians and some foreigners think he’s not a member of the WEF Club. He is probably correct that local officials are ignorant and just following what they are told and/or bribed to do.

I do agree with Armstrong that the diabolical planners will not defeat nature’s inviolable trend to maximum entropy.

The interview is worth listening to as Armstrong and I agree on most of his points and he elaborates on the crises ahead.

I speak near-native Spanish. All of this to say, I have deep experience in many cultures, countries and speak various languages. From all of the Latin American cultures I’ve come across, Mexicans are BY FAR the most polite. They put a significant emphasis on what the French call “la politesse”…minding your manners! Def more polite than any English-speaking society, even the English who like to pride themselves on politeness, no offense but they really aren’t polite at the MX level (I lived in England).

> “nope”

@Eric Krown Crypto there’s no statistically defined minimum threshold level of confluence for the bottom on either the Tradingview Index nor the BraveNew Coin (BNC:BLX) index. You have only two data points of confluence for that minimum being meaningful (and not just some arbitrary concept pulled out of your arse) on the former and no confluence on the latter. The BNC chart is arguably more accurate because the data is more scrubbed (vetted) and includes more exchanges. The only pattern of some very weak statistical confluence (on both indices) is that the bottom comes within 3 months of the said indicator turning red. Thus a bottom this month is plausible w.r.t. to the indicator and a bottom next month is highly dubious w.r.t. the indicator although still well within the variance because so few data points. Nothing else can be said with any semblance of statistical reasoning. That being said, the entire indicator is highly dubious because it’s very dependent on the volume data and we know volume is fake on these centralized exchanges (which is again why I am more apt to trust the scrubbed and vetted data of BNC for this indicator). I predict you will obstinately and subjectively call a bull trap on what ends up running away from you! I look at many macro factors as well and the stock markets are currently climbing the wall of worry with massive levels of cash on the sidelines as the consumer and market investor is flush with accumulated cash despite saving rates declining now. When the FOMO reverses direction the bears will be caught buying the top, lol. Numerous other indicators which have marked previous bottoms have already flashed that the bottom is in including the Pi Cycle, the Guppy and the hash ribbons miners’ capitulation. You are ostensibly still fighting the last war (as apparently you didn’t call the top but I sold at $66k and predicted in the summer of 2021 a drop to egregious lows would come after moving back up the top of a repeating megaphone pattern), as are the EuropeOns.

Comment:

I suppose I was noting its terrible relative performance in (the posited to be fractal correlating period of) 2019 when I quickly blurted out that bearish comment about ADA. Also currently below the green 200 daily (simple) moving average. Note the shaded rectangles on all charts below. But the Elliot Wave structure is different and highly bullish possibly indicating a new ATH ~$4+ (if BTC $50+k) by roughly the end of this year. This difference can also be noted on my posited Bitcoin charts where I do not project Bitcoin to come back down to the bottom of its posited, diagrammed, megaphone, broadening wedge until the egregious crash expected in Q4 2023, unlike in 2019 where it came down to the bottom of the diagrammed broadening wedge twice before the final top and egregious corona dump crash. This current distinction for Bitcoin is ostensibly because Bitcoin will form a new smaller megaphone pattern at the posited incoming top of the posited incoming bullish rally into the end of this year. Remember I had noted many times previously that ADA/USDT did not have the terminal impulse condition because Elliot wave 1 began after the corona dump, because the corona dump was the low unlike most other crypto charts. Thus wave 4 didn’t need to come back down to the top of its wave 1.

Recently there’s been some test net FUD about Cardano, but appears to be resolved now and the 75% of nodes may update to Vasil within the next 10 days! Expect a price pump soon.

The ADA/BTC chart also exhibits a bullish EW count and its terminal impulse condition was already fulfilled as wave 4 retraced to top of wave 1. The monthly chart has hidden, bullish RSI divergence and the daily chart has two drives of bullish RSI divergence if bottoms at current level.

(Crypto Expert Gives SHOCKING Bitcoin Prediction for September (When Will Bitcoin Bottom?))

Disagree on his Accumulation/Distribution thesis.

I have ostensibly cast my information gathering net much wider than you two if you both think that the Fed needs to stop tightening before the stock market can rally to new ATHs and Bitcoin making a significant rally. Firstly just look back to 2019 (which btw is my repeating fractal, broadening wedge model period as well) wherein the Fed had been reducing its QE balance sheet and then gradually only in very slight, nuanced, dovish tone, jawboned through early 2019 causing a massive risk-on rally. What happened is that once the FOMO kicked in, the cash on the sidelines rushed back through the exit door in a stampede to get back inside the burning movie threater before the corona dump. Essentially the markets exploded once the worst of the balance reduction FUD (i.e. fear) had been priced in. C.f. Yardeni Research’s Chronology of Fed’s Quantitative Easing & Tightening. Also every recession has come delayed and even for example in 2007, the initial dive bomb was reversed into a new ATH before the actual crash into the Greater Recession abyss which is coming 2023 to 2024. Both of you would be well served to partake of some of Meet Kevin’s and Game of Trades’ analyses. The sentiment analysis for example points to the bottom is behind us for the major U.S. stock market indices until after another new ATH is printed. Coming in late 2023 or early 2024 will be another black swan flash crash and 1.75 times that of the corona dump, thus -62%.

E.K.C. is such a n00b when it comes to understanding the technology and game theory of the crypto sector. Ethereum has always been a USG scam:

Comment:

BTC, ETH and ADA prices respectively. My current outlook is for a potential continued relief rally tomorrow to ~21.9–22.8k, 1720–1820 and 0.48–0.50. with a decline into the end of the week to ~19.3–20.4k, 1475 and 0.40–0.43. A bull trap rally next week to ~25.7k, 2500 and 0.59–0.69. A decline into third week of September ~18.1–19.3k, 1300 and 0.40–0.45 (SPX to ~3980). A rally into Nov/Dec 42k, 3400 and 1.45 as ETH and ADA slam into their overhead resistance trend lines on my recent chart updates. Pullback and two more surges into January and March with final tops 60–65k, 4100–4200 and 1.55.

What’s not clear is whether ETH and ADA will under perform from that juncture as they did in 2019. Will they stay trapped under their said overhead trend lines or will the bullish EW count (c.f. my published updates) hold and they proceed up to new ATHs to complete their posited, major wave 5?

BTC will decline until May perhaps to ~36k. Then it will rally to ~75k (70–80k, i.e. a “triple, quadruple or double-double” top) into Q4 2023 (perhaps a Sept/Oct peak), presumably due to the Fed forced to become more dovish but not yet rockets-to-da-moon QE (as was the case in 2019 as noted in my recent updates). A FLASH CRASH (Russia invades Lithuania and takes the Sulwaki Corridor?) will seek egregious lows ~5–7k, 120–300 and 0.03–0.10 by end of 2024. Readers repeat after me, ‘ANYONECANSPEND restoration, donations-to-the-miners “attack”.‘ Note timing could be extended by a couple of months or so. I’m expecting the SPX to crash -62.5% from ~5900 to ~2180. Note every percentage decline on the SPX has been increasing by 1.75 so the -35.5% corona flash crash will be amplified. Many exchanges and stable coins may fail so keep that in mind if attempting to short the cryptocurrencies.

The Fed will be forced to QE-to-da-moon again but with inflation already hot a.f. due to accelerating international war and sanctions thereof. The Fed will discover they are pushing on a string (marginal-utility-of-debt gone egregiously negative) so they are likely to be unable to control interest rates and non-speculative, non-FOMO legacy (i.e. Satoshi’s immutable protocol, not BTC, BCH nor BSV!) Bitcoin should finally start mooning on fear (as gold does) as the monetary reset looms.

The altcoins (all that FOMO, speculative dogesh8t, including the altcoin Bitcoin Core which was created by the corruption on the 2017 N.Y. Agreement soft fork…soft forks are deceptions and must eventually hard fork/f-ck) will have declined for the first time to well below their prior cycle ATHs indicating the end of their half-decade bull market (all except LTC launched ~2017). The proof-of-work altcoins will be destroyed by repeated, difficulty-bomb non-readjustment attacks. The proof-of-stake sh8tcoins will be attacked by government regulation as they are folded into the orbit of the central bank digital currencies’ (CBDCs’) dominion — as TPTB try to enslave us in totalitarian, negative interest rates aka capital controls by trying to end the free market with their futile, diabolical “Great Reset” collateral damage wrecking ball.

ETH may form a bearish double-top and/or decade long, bearish, H&S pattern projecting to $0. All cryptocurrencies other than legacy Bitcoin to $0 whilst Satoshi’s Phoenix rises to $1 million.

ETH:BTC appears to be dying. It peaked in 2017 and now is dead cat rallying in a bearish rising channel or wedge.

I presume you’re citing this from the perspective of resistance to tyrannical government, Agenda 2030 (they raided an Amish farmer this week) and the Great Reset plans; and not as a last resort for personal self-defense against criminals.

I don’t think the U.S. government is going go on the offense to pick a fight with the American people en masse. They instead will cherry pick who they use force against. Let’s say they actually rule that Trump can’t run for POTUS and/or otherwise steal more elections. Are the American people really going to rise up in armed rebellion to take back control? I don’t think so. Remember I warned you to not go to the Capitol on Jan 6. And I am happy you didn’t go otherwise your life may have been ruined.

The government is going to slice and dice us economically and via the technicalities in the law and agencies making effective law, e.g. via the IRS and enslaving CBDCs. There is nothing DeSantis and Florida can do to protect any of us against the IRS and enslaving CBDCs with the forthcoming national government ban of cash and the global monetary reset with CBDCs and thus essentially ends private bank accounts in all nations (including Russia and China).

The U.S. States don’t have large enough economies to motivate a sufficient number of businesses to adopt some non-national fiat. Thus everyone will default to the slavery of the incoming CBCDs.

I have in mind that for online games and such (everything virtual on the Internet, aka the Metaverse) I might be able to create the surviving cryptocurrency that scales. This might provide us the alternative. For me this is our only remaining hope and guns literally has almost nothing to do with our salvation. That might be the means by which a parallel economy develops and States eventually find it plausible to secede and/or assert States’ rights more emphatically. The U.S. Federal government is likely to die slowly over a long period of time — death by accrued incremental defection over decades. Think of the analogy in China of not rising one’s head too high above everyone else, so as to not be noticed. Insidious change that happens outside the ability of the government to track it is how decadent systems can transition without a massive head-on collision Civil War. I don’t think there’s anyone in the U.S. who could lead a shooting Civil War effectively nor a catalyst Schelling point to bring it about. Rather the Feds are trying to amplify the social media chatter and use this in a Minority Report fashion to cherry pick who they need to REKT.

I am happy it will always be possible to obtain sufficient personal self-protection weapons, but that doesn’t seem to the context for which you cited that?

Comment:

Martin Armstrong is mostly correct in his recent blog Coinbase Crackdown, but he always fails to mention that legacy Bitcoin can never be cracked down on by the government. All the other cryptocurrencies yes the government can destroy them all, except not legacy Bitcoin. Legacy Bitcoin is not the Bitcoin that everyone currently thinks is Bitcoin…

Comment:

@OPTICALARTdotCOM the red line may be the thin one parallel to and above the thick one! You arbitrary chose the lower one. You are confused by the double top. 14:32 {juncture in the aforelinked video} When the DXY bottomed December 2019, the price did not come all the down to your red line. I expect the DXY to top out 113 for a decline until end of the year. The proper red line is the thin one up higher than your thick one. So Bitcoin does not need to make a lower low before it rallies to $60k by December. The price will come down to your thin red line but not until Q4 2023. And yes it will be a very low price. Cryptocurrency is dying.

Follow-up…

@OPTICALARTdotCOM notice also that the DXY already rallied half-way to the 113 top target off recent lows, but BTC has barely declined. So there is no way that the move to 113 will bring BTC down to your ridiculous 7k or 10k target. I don’t even see the momentum for a lower low than the June low, which is why I mentioned to note that in December 2019 Bitcoin did not move down to your diagrammed red line as the DXY moved to an extreme (actually a low but you argued that visits to the red line also occur on DXY bottoms as well as tops). So those observations taken together with my assertion that the thin, upper red line is that actual line of confluence we should be paying attention to, I have concluded that Bitcoin bottomed in June and the incoming retest will bottom on your cyan (i.e. blue) colored Fib circle ~18 – 19k. Multiple indicators flashed that the Bitcoin bottom is behind us already, including the Pi Cycle, Guppy, miner capitulation hash ribbons, the log RSI bullish cross, various MA crosses as detailed by Steve aka Crypto Crew University, etc.. I do have a published trading (view) idea which shows the repeating pattern for why Bitcoin will bounce to a “triple top” (actually a quadruple or double-double top) before another flash crash late in 2023 back down to your thin, red line. The posited Q4 2023 flash crash will likely be cause by Russia invading Lithuania to take the Sulwaki Corridor (which will invoke the NATO mutual defense treaty).

Comment:

@Steadyeddy69, over 95% of Nasdaq stocks were above their 50 daily MA — a startling shift in that measure of market bullishness from virtually none being above that breadth metric at the June bottom. Yet only 45% of market participants were positioned bullish on this rally (and probably even less now on the “last chance to board the train” pullback underway). Although savings rates are declining, that’s a lagging indicator because accumulated cash is very high and has to go somewhere. The market is overpriced w.r.t. to sour forward Q3 estimates (to be reported in Q4) but that along with expectations of labor market recession are more lagging indicators. Whereas price (as distinct from monetary) inflation expectations are a 3 to 4 months leading indicator and they turned down in May until just recently starting to turn back up. This market wants to rally back to ATHs because the FUD selloff was driven by imminent recession fears stoked by inflation continuing to rise, yet a GDP recession is not a labor recession which come on a lag some months from now. Meantime the threat of future labor recession is causing commodities to be priced downwards due to expected demand destruction, notwithstanding the trend in future inflation expectations as a leading indicator trending back up especially after Biden announced a massive ‘stealth’ stimulus via student loan abatements and abeyance (which might just end up FOMOing into meme stocks like AMC). And the thing with FOMO (and the memory effect of those who lost over the past decades by not buying the dips) is that once it starts to rip then everyone eventually piles in whether they are early or buy the top. Of course everything will be overpriced and irrationally priced w.r.t. to earnings because that’s a feature of a the Mises crack-up boom that has been engineered by the Fed and Bolsheviks at the helm. Nvidia will be considered “cheap” as one of the few lone assets (and the only major semiconductor focused with massive growth potential in the cloud) “underpriced” in this insanity paradigm. The market will invent narratives to justify pumping it. When price inflation paused in Q1 the markets attempted to rally but crashed anew when it was clear CPI was still increasing. If CPI has indeed peaked until winter then June was the bottom of this expected risk-on rally to ATHs over next few months. Remember that we had the same situation in 2019 where all the Fed had to do was jawbone slightly more dovishly and the markets came off the December 2018 low to new ATHs. And there’s a lot more cash floating around now after the massive corona dump stimulus. Timing of leading and lagging indicators along with the level of insanity of a crack-up boom must be factored into the analysis.

Comment:

Additionally the same thesis applies in spades to the crypto sector. Bitcoin priced still near its June low is going to look mighty attractive (especially it has no earnings thus can’t be “overpriced” w.r.t. to earnings) when 95+% of the Nasdaq is already above their individual 50 DMAs. Bitcoin lagged coming off the December 2018 lows then suddenly catapulted after the other risk-on markets had reestablished a bullish footing. I posit the fractal of 2019 is essentially repeating. The Austrian economics crack-up boom is accelerating. The sh8t is going to get even more bizarre and diabolical than the cerveza sickness pLandemic come Q4 2023! Can you say WW3? Can you say 666-like central bank digital currencies, capito{a}l controls, forced rationing and no more private bank accounts? My research is deep.

Comment:

Follow-up quoting from my prior comments…

Bingo! My plan mimics what the barbarians did after the fall of Rome; and is to create an algorithmic USD stable coin which can’t be destroyed as LUNA was and also is a way to cash out to USD (either the stable coin or exchange it for the fiat version) without incurring any capital gains by taking it as a perpetual loan! The powers-that-be are aware of the threat — remember what they did to centralized Liberty Gold and E-gold!

Armstrong is simply wrong. The governments can only shut down proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies (because the stake is not permissionless and can individuals can be targeted, unlike proof-of-work where new miners can be stood up any where, any time even in the middle of the Sahara desert running on solar power with shortwave radio!). They can not shut down a truly decentralized block chain such as the legacy Bitcoin protocol (not this impostor crap that everyone erroneously thinks is the official Bitcoin since the corrupt 2017 N.Y. Agreement soft fork), as they could not shut down the decentralized (aka peer-to-peer) alternatives to the centralized Napster. Napster was as an important juncture as was Snowden’s whistle blowing.

The technological challenge now is to invent a decentralized alternative to proof-of-work which isn’t proof-of-stake, because proof-of-work will only be stable for the dominant chain (due to the altcoins being attacked with mining difficulty adjustment bombs over and over again). I devised such a technological solution.

Armstrong is correct that Schwab’s failure will be the fracturing of the West into separatism and economic implosion. But Armstrong is incorrect about a NWO forming, which is precisely what the rise of Bitcoin to be the world’s de facto reserve currency will represent. Of course the power-law distribution of fungible resources is inviolable, thus the proof-of-work mining will be surreptitiously controlled by the $trillionaires who run this world from behind the curtain. The “Rothschilds” are using Schwab as their sacrificial pawn to fracture the West so that it becomes dependent on their Bitcoin! That’s the NWO with the nation-states enforcing totalitarian CBDCs, Agenda 2030, etc. How can locales (aka fiefdoms) be economically independent if their local currencies do not scale to the globalized business of the information age? Armstrong seems to have forgotten basic principles of economics.

Armstrong blogged:

The World According to Schwab?

When Rome fell, it broke up into fiefdoms. The barbarians issued coins that imitated that of Rome. They pretended to be Roman, for they wanted the air of that civilization.

{…}

Therefore, following the collapse of Rome, it was the typical cycle of 31.4 x 8.6 years = 270 years before we began to see the rise once again of formal civilizations. Europe had broken apart into simple fiefdoms that were not united.

{…}

The West will fall and fragment. I do not see the US being occupied by Russia and China. There will be no one-world government. That is NEVER going to take place. Even in the aftermath, when the West has fallen, you will then see Russia and China become foes. Cycles are inevitable. So the world, according to Schwab, is the dream of a fool who ignores human nature and history.

Agreed the H1 2022 “good news was bad news,” has shifted for the smart money. The recent tectonic shift from no breadth above their 50 daily period moving averages at the June lows, to 95% above on this recent rally indicates the dominant market psychology has reverted to the multi-decade memory of the pain of not buying the dips.

@Meet Kevin unfortunately most people seem to be unaware that the supply boom was the peace dividend from the fall of Communism. That peace dividend is reverting now, but we’ll get a brief respite for some months until there’s escalation as Russia takes the Sulwaki Corridor after Lithuania broke their contracts for passage.

Comment:

How did the surreptitious Bitcoin creator know that Western governments would self-immolate and so brazenly abuse their power that the world would embrace Bitcoin as an unbiased, trustless, permissionless reserve currency to discipline/spank the nation-states as John Nash had proposed in his Ideal Money manifesto (Jstor)? Perhaps Rothschild’s Economist Magazine 1988 Phoenix cover story, the double-spaces after periods 1999 usergroup description of Bitcoin, the 2008 pre-release/Jan 2009 launch and the 2018 20k peak mainstream awareness? That ten year cycle implies incoming 2028 monetary reset?

Profoundly, Bruce Fenton doesn’t seem to realize that secularism doesn’t really exist (c.f. the religion of the radical left and their lamestream media propaganda engine) and government can’t exist without Weberian power to enslave constituents in fiat money. Creative destruction chaos incoming!

@Crypto Zombie the entire point is to destroy the current monetary system and replace it with enslaving CBDCs with LEGACY Bitcoin as the reserve currency only accessible to the $billionaires and central banks. The Fed wants a recession so they are then forced to QE like mad again. This is all by design. BlackRock already controls the Fed, c.f. John Titus’ channel for the research. The current impostor which everyone thinks is the official Bitcoin was the product of a corrupt soft fork which created a 13 million BTC booty thus destroying the Nash equilibrium. This has all been exquisitely planned out by Rothshild for our 666 enslavement. I have deep research on this. I can prove this beyond any doubt. If you are not hodling in addresses that begin with 1 (not 3 nor bc1) you will donate your BTC from your wallet to the miners when the Nash equilibrium is restored.

> “Btc doesn’t even have a usecase dude 😂"

@Unavailable legacy Bitcoin (i.e. Satoshi’s immutable protocol before all the scaling nonsense which will all be destroyed in an event that takes down the entire cryptocosm) will be the global reserve currency. You can already see Rothschild’s plan in action as he has pushed Russia and China out of the Western financial system. Now all the nation-states will be discredited until nobody trusts anything but Bitcoin as a unit-of-account. But the legacy protocol only has 1MB blocks thus transaction fees will be $50k and none of us will be able to transact on it. Also our nation-states will forbade us to transact declaring it money laundering. We are heading into a maelstrom.

He concurs what I wrote about the cartels don’t want to be enslaved. Mexico seems to pay lip service to the international edicts but then only implements them in theory but less so in practice. Why would the cartels want to lose access to cash and have all their transactions tracked by a CBDC? And yes the cartel is a facet of government corrupt that is hidden but exists in the West.

The Western corruption is entirely beholden to the WEF. The West is imploding.

> “@S. Moore And a word about market breadth from Charles Schwab (Aug 22):
> At the recent high, about 93% of stocks within the S&P 500 were trading above their 50-day moving averages—fitting the definition of a "breadth thrust." What makes it unique relative to others in history, however, is that the Federal Reserve is in an aggressive interest rate hiking campaign. Other than in February 2019 when the Fed was on hold, the nine other breadth surges off lows since 1975 all occurred during Fed easing campaigns (hat tip to our friends at Strategas for that stat). In addition, all 10 prior breadth surges (including 2019's) were accompanied by a positive 2y/10y yield spread. As most readers know, that yield spread is decidedly negative (inverted) today.
>
> Are you still sure you should use this indicator and ignore a deteriorating economy, yield spread, increasing downward forward earnings revisions, and QT?”

@Christopher L I elaborated on my reasoning on my public trading (view). For example, the Fed was not entirely paused in 2019 as they were still reigning in their balance sheet. The Yardeni Research document (Chronology of Fed’s Quantitative Easing & Tightening) I cited shows how the Fed gradually jawboned from hawkish (from 2017 to late 2018) to gradually and only slightly more dovish in early 2019 about the future possibility of being willing to eventually moderate that reduction of the balance sheet. By November 2019 they had entirely paused and the markets made one more surge higher before the corona dump. Albeit interest rates are rising now and a labor recession is approaching in 2023, the massive injection of monetary policy since 2020 is a massive hoard of cash sitting on the sidelines waiting to FOMO back in to risk on. The U.S. is at maximum employment and inflation is raging but declining. Inflation expectations leading by 3 to 4 months and they started dropping like a rock in May and only bounced from much lower levels in August. So we have a bullish few months ahead. Although savings rates are declining, accumulated cash is high. The DXY has massive, bearish RSI divergence and every time it has peaked, Bitcoin has bottomed. Game of Trades is correct that we are too early in the interest rate raising cycle to crash. As was the case in prior recessions, the markets make new ATHs while the Fed is raising, and do not crash until the Fed starts easing.

@Christopher L I have a model for Bitcoin on my public trading (view) which has a massive crash in late 2023 bottoming by Q1 2024 below 7k. Also note that each of the recent S&P major crashes have been increasing by a factor of 1.75. Thus the next one (ostensibly in Q4 2023) will be a -63% flash crash. So back up to a new ATH no later than Q1 2023 then the Fed is forced to moderate by worsening economy then another black swan event akin to the corona dump before the end of 2023. I bet it will be Russia invading Lithuania to take control of the Sulwaki Corridor after Lithuania violated their contracts for passage due to the intentional globalist sanctions as Rothschild is ushering in his legacy Bitcoin as the new world’s reserve currency per the model presented in John Nash’s Ideal Money manifesto (Jstor).

> “@S. Moore One more thing to add. Since you like contrarian indicators (I do too) consider this: The Hulbert Nasdaq Newsletter Sentiment Index, compiled by US analyst Mark Hulbert, shows that bullishness among a subset of short-term traders who concentrate on the technology-focused Nasdaq market has reached an historical extreme.”

@Christopher L indeed the Nasdaq is overcooked and Bitcoin is undercooked. Expecting them to trade places on the next leg up as was the case after February 2019.

Comment:

> @S. Moore Cherry picking benchmarks can be dangerous. We have deteriorating economic conditions - consumers using credit card debt - now up to its highest level in years, major layoffs coming in, a growing inventory overhang, housing purchases going down, GDP growth going negative, major commodities still expensive (no change yesterday in spite of the stock market) and the FED promise to keep tightening. None of this was true when the last ATH was reached last year. Worry is about what might happen; these things are happening. And as far as pundits go the only two people I put any faith into are Michael Burry and Ray Dalio who have a long history of correct calls (long and short) and put their money where their mouth is. Ray Dalio runs the one of the largest and most successful hedge funds in the world; he is up for 2022. He uses very effective macro models and is rarely pessimistic. Today, he is negative on the US economy and the stock market.

> "The pundits spun this as all doom and gloom" Really? All I heard about during the rally to 4300 was about the FED pivot; not doom and gloom. Many pundits saying "if we have a recession it will not be that deep", "soft landing", etc. That does not sound very gloomy to me. Does an increased probability (from 50% to 60%) of 75 basis points in September move a market down like this? Or was because the market is starting to get convinced that Powell is not going to back down (early) from tightening?
>
> And one more thing -- in 2018 the FED was raising interest rates and reducing balance sheet assets -- tightening. The stock market underperformed that year starting at 2700, ending at 2500 with an average price around 2700 for the year. Got's analysis was not even correct.

@Christopher L so you really think with the majority of the market so bearish doom and gloom expectations that the markets will crash? Markets do the opposite of what the herd expects. This Powell FUD was to scare the weak hands into selling into the strong hands. I don’t think the breadth thrust was expectations of an imminent Fed pivot. Heck the market has been clearly pricing in 3 more interest rate increases in 2023 from the Fed. That is a strawman narrative I see all over the lamestream media, employed to scare the herd. The breadth surge was cash FOMOing back in as the smart money had been accumulating as every dip off the June bottom was bought up. Now we reset by scaring the f-ck out of the weak hands and repeat for the next leg up. This pullback is forming the right shoulder of what appears to maybe be a massive bullish, inverted H&S on the SPX. And I had been expecting that to form for the past weeks once I had identified the neckline to coincide roughly with the 200 daily MA.

@Christopher L inverted yield curves are an early signal that correspond with final bull trap moves to ATHs. The 2018 decline as the Fed was raising has already completed in 2022 as the market priced it all in rapidly perhaps because of the negative GDP Q1 figure scaring the f-ck out of everyone and then the capitulation in June with the rebounding CPI. Thus I posit the 2019 cycle already started as of the June bottom. Heck we have half dozen indicators that have flashed the Bitcoin bottom already. There was a daily bullish RSI divergence on the June Bitcoin bottom on the CME (not on spot price). The stock markets also had a daily (and weekly?) bullish RSI divergence on the June bottom. Ostensibly GoT’s timing mistake (as was him being too early bullish in 2022) is he didn’t wait for the final capitulation. I was warning in comments before May 2022 that the RSI was still too high.

@Christopher L yes the economy will start to roll over by 2023 but in the meantime there is a massive cash hoard waiting to FOMO back in once the lamestream media narrative pivots again. Maybe the media was pitching the Fed pivot thesis recently (I wasn’t seeing it but I do not watch TV) but fact remains is the futures pricing markets had already priced in the incoming Fed rate hikes and there was already a significant probability of a 75 basis hike for Sept. So nothing has changed since Powell’s FUD other than (perhaps an ephemeral spike in the probability of a 75 basis increase and) the media spooking the sheep. Did you know a herd of sheep actually keeled over and died after being scared by some barking dogs? 🤣 Powell and Mester both said that if inflation continues to come down they will moderate their tone (which is repeating what occurred in 2019 and besides I have a repeating broadening wedge for Bitcoin which had alerted me in summer 2021 that 2019 would repeat in 2022 so I had been predicting the double top and crash to $20k since summer 2021 and all publicly shared on my trading (view)). And the precipitous drop in inflation expectation since May tells us that the inflation will continue to drop over the next few months until at least Nov/Dec. These current dead cat bounces for commodities, Treasuries and dollar all formed bearish RSI divergences. The Euro can’t go straight to zero in one move. Euro vs dollar parity is a logical level for a dead cat bounce for a few months.

@Christopher L the recession is likely to be soft in most of 2023 (after we get through the rough winter in Europe without natural gas) only requiring a slight moderation from the Fed to keep the markets buoyed (as was the case in Q4 2019) and then comes the repeating black swan, probably an act of war that invokes the NATO mutual defense treaty that officially launches WW3. China will force the U.S. to fight on two fronts by blockading Taiwan eventually as well. Between China and N. Korea that’s a 2.5 million troops.

@David Welsh by what law passed by Congress that requires the POTUS to declassify via the whims of some unelected bureaucrats? Cite the law.

You don’t know what this is really about. Trump ordered all the RussiaGate documents declassified and the Demonrats don’t want this information made public. Simple as that.

> “@Fallon Best All original copies are to remain with our government library regardless of classification. You can't ever keep an original. You can get a cheep copy like your Rolex and your education certificate.”

@4U812 he was cooperating fully with the National Archives. There was no valid justification for the raid. This is all about corrupt, illegal pretext to prevent Trump’s declassification of the RussiaGate documents. The Demonrats don’t want those documents to become available to the public.

> “@S. Moore no one is claiming that POTUS declassified anything at the whims of anyone”

@ronnie james some are claiming he was required to, which is not a valid claim.

> “@S. Moore lol. Valid enough for Trump to get a lawyer to attempt to keep documents from the American people that he’d taken. Valid enough to get a warrant to get those documents.”

@ronnie james dimwit GAFC. Trump declassified the documents thus there was no crime. Some claim that he needed to go through some bureaucratic process of declassification but there is no enabling law stipulating that. The POTUS can declassify instantly by simply stating it verbally. As for any unintentionally taken unclassified documents that the National Archives wants, his lawyers were fully cooperating. Realize Trump did not pack everything himself. It was packed in boxes by his staff. There is no justification whatsoever for this raid. They would need some probable cause that he was a risk to flight or destroy documents. There is no reason he would as there is no crime. What is really going on is that Trump declassified the RussiaGate corruption and the Demonrats do not want the National Archives to make those documents available to the public. The unsubstantiated National Security redaction excuse enables them to hide the fact that the judge and warrant were in violation of the law. Now get your low IQ, Dunning-Kruger arse off my lawn.

Comment:

Discussion with the mathematician:

It is always best to buy when we are maximally afraid it will go lower. Control emotions and make logical risk vs. reward decisions.

Half-dozen Bitcoin indicators have flashed the bottom and BTC is near to the bottom again. Ostensibly the massive FUD sell-off on Friday was purely emotional as nothing substantive changed in the Fed’s message — the market was already pricing in an additional 3 Fed funds hikes this year? The market had been rising on increasing FOMO as the price was leaving the train station; and as best as I can discern NOT primarily on expectations of Fed pivot before Q1 2023 — the FUD narrative pitched by the media to amplify the panic sell-off. Panic selloffs can be capitulation bottom confirmations — the bullish inverted H&S pattern forming on the S&P is not bearish pointing to new lows? The smart money ostensibly realizes (and/or the natural market dynamics confirms/materializes) that (per my numerous YT comments ← copy and paste the link as clicking the link does not seem to take me to the comments plural) market wipeouts do not historically occur until the labor recession starts which is not until the Fed starts easing. Cash savings accumulated from the 2020 stimulus is on the sidelines nervous about failing to “buy the f-cking dip” (BTFD). Consequently most people will end up buying the f-cking top 5200 – 5500, lol. Then with market crashing the Fed will be forced to ease and S&P back up to ~5900 before the -63% flash crash in Q3 to Q4 2023 or as late as Q1 2024 with the plausible event catalyst when Russia invades Lithuania. Ostensibly may be essentially 2019 repeating again yet with some fractal wave interference altering the structure perhaps as I have posited on my published ideas.

An outlier to our thesis of Sept highs is YTuber Eric Krown Crypto’s dubious model of arbitrarily chosen random variables (where is the comprehensive Chi-squared test for independence against all possible such arbitrarily chosen metrics?) for historical volatility expansion models on various time frames which is signaling that the expected massive incoming move will be to the downside if the 5-day stoch is below $21k and 2-day stoch is below $24k on the close Sunday (which they both were).

Comment:

> “Cassino ! the price nowadays is aleatory,manipulated . there is no reason to any pump ... but still happens anyway... Cassino !!!!”

Incorrect. There is every reason for it to pump. The S&P has a bullish inverted H&S pattern forming and this dip was wave 4 heading next up to the 4400 then coming back down again to form the right shoulder. OpticalArt is likely incorrect about it coming back down to his thick red line at ~$7.5k by Nov/Dec. Instead markets will counter intuitively head back up to new ATHs first by Q1 2023 at the latest. There will be another corona-like flash crash but that is coming late in 2023. And it will be a doozy probably -63% on the S&P and -95% on Bitcoin.

The mistake OpticalArt is likely making is that his upper thin red line is taking precedence for a triple top (or double-double actually) before the mega crash to his lower thick red trend line. What OpticalArt does not realize is that historically the recession mega crash does not come until the labor recession when the Fed starts to ease. The U.S. is still at maximum employment. Look back at prior recessions as Game of Trades has done and you see that there is a fake out rally to new ATHs when the Fed starts raising. We are essentially repeating 2019 again. I have explained this in great detail on my public trading view citing much data.

Comment:

> “@S. Moore Sounds good except you cannot remove original documents from the national archives even if declassified. They keep all original documents, you can get a copy after declassification. These are our nations history records, you cannot change history. He simply got caught, same thing with tax evasion, paying off prostitutes, attempting to overturn a fair election, exciting a riot, causing an insurrection and his attempted coup. And he did these things with help from attorneys, staff, family, associates and the Proud Boys. That's called organized crime and falls directly under RICO law.”

@4U812 any such unclassified documents not intentionally taken and thus not prosecutable under the law. Trump was reportedly hastily throwing all sorts of stuff into boxes and perhaps most of it was packed up by his staff. His attorneys were fully cooperating with the National Archives. Thus the raid has corrupt ulterior motives as I explained in my reply above to @ronnie james. There is no way you can win this argument as you are simply wrong. GAFC dude. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome notwithstanding. There is no proof whatsoever that could stand up in a non-corrupt court-of-law (i.e. hearsay is inadmissible) that Trump was ‘exciting’ a riot. You f-cking, clueless Demonrats applaud while the nation is burned down by Bolsheviks. You realize this will be the end of any nation shared between us and you idiots? A break-up is coming. P.S. the election was stolen but I can’t possibly get into all those details in this comment.

(Bitcoin price prediction! I charted the future and I see what's coming!)

The DJIA is probably going to move up your next outer ring before coming down to much lower targets. The mega crash will be in 2023, not 2022. I explained why in my comments on your prior video. We will see if you are correct about ~7.5k by Nov/Dec. I explained in my comments on the prior video why that is not likely. Perhaps this recession could be different than the prior ones and the mega crash occurs while the Fed is raising and not yet in a labor recession? Never happened before. The mega crash always happens when the Fed starts easing because the labor recession has ensued. I am afraid you are going to end up with egg on your face.

Hal Turner Radio Show: You Will Only See This Story if I have been Arrested or Killed

This is interesting (and much of it Armstrong already told us) but Hal is incorrect; this is not and will not be hyperinflation for those holding U.S. dollars. Instead it will be persistently high price inflation. Hyperinflation requires a total loss of public confidence in fiat and a country’s bond market. The hyperinflation might develop in some fiats outside the U.S. dollar and Americans will be stuck with the consequent stagflation as Americans will not lose confidence in the U.S. dollar. Armstrong had explained this would be a repeat of what happened after WW1 and before WW2 where all the capital fled out of Europe to the U.S. causing stock and speculative land (e.g. Florida) bubbles in the USA. Indeed war rationing will make the inflation even worse, but again distinguishable from runaway, hyperinflation. It will be enough price inflation to impoverish Americans making them dependent on the forthcoming CBDCs, but not enough to collapse all public confidence in the U.S. dollar. And by design of the perpetrators, the public after all will not blame the U.S. dollar, as Hal rightfully acknowledges.

You can bet I am correct that Russia does not invade Lithuania this winter. Instead it will be next winter. Russia will use their restriction of national gas as a weapon first before resorting to the nuclear option. Also China is not yet ready militarily.

The charts do not lie. And the markets never crash during a rate hiking cycle as Hal admits!

Also the West forced Putin to invade Ukraine and now the West is forcing Putin to invade Lithuania to restore uninhibited rail passage across the Sulwaki Corridor. The West needs Putin to act, to crash the dollar and markets. That will be the next flash crash when Putin invades. And my charting (c.f. my Tradingview) points to Q4 2023 and -62% on the S&P — not this year! Hal is correct WW3 will be launched in Q4 but 2023 not 2022.

And no, silver will not be the underground currency. It will be a cryptocurrency, probably one that hasn’t been created yet (I know because I am creating it)

“In August of 2019 the rates BLEW OUT to 10% in a single night! This was historic because it PROVED there was a SERIOUS dollar shortage in the system. The Fed panicked because it had insisted on tightening - and with the markets at raging all-time highs in 2019 there was absolutely NO justification for reversing course on rates or stimulus.

They had to manufacture a crisis because the DEMAND FOR DOLLARS was so intense.

The decision was made in August of 2019 to reset the system BECAUSE the demand for dollars was so unbelievable it was collapsing the euro. By October 2019 we have event 201 - our covid simulation. By December COVID is making mainstream news. By March were locked down and creating 40% more currency than has ever existed in history.

NOT because of covid but because the market was literally about to die without a massive injection of new dollars. This is how I knew covid was BS from Day 1. Anyone who had paid attention to the economics of the dollar understood EXACTLY what these people were actually doing. It was all a farce to create the dollars they needed!

ALL OF THIS was done to inject dollars in the global monetary system. That's how serious the dollar demand is! These people were literally willing to destroy the global economy just to come up with a reason for why they just HAD to create all those dollars.”

{…}

“The Fed believed that if the inflation were to run out of control due to the actions that were taken in March of 2020 that they would simply raise rates and deflate the asset bubbles - bringing deflation to asset prices and preventing a hyperinflationary collapse.

The Fed embarked on this quest over a year ago with the yield on a 10yr note at around .7%.

Today the yield is roughly 3% and the bubbles have not popped. We've had pullbacks but not relative to the rise in rates.”

{…}

“Where the Fed did their job is they got the USDX up to 108, they've got 10yr yields over 3%. BUT! What they didn't anticipate was that the new administration would COLLAPSE the global energy markets for their own political reasons.

The combination of the Biden administration destroying our energy markets - with ZERO alternatives - combined with the fact the government holds all the debt now - not the consumer - created a situation where the rising rates MAKE ZERO DIFFERENCE TO INFLATION AND ACTUALLY MAKE IT WORSE!

This is why EVERYONE is starting to PANIC!

The Fed has fired all it's bullets and we are still experiencing a hyperinflation.”

Comment:

“The BRICS recognize the game is over and so they have moved on to the inevitable conclusion of the game - WAR.

The Russians have made their move on Ukraine and right now the Chinese are gearing up for an invasion of Taiwan and the South Chinese sea (perhaps even more). These lockdowns in China are about converting their economy into a war-machine without people noticing - There was a leaked 60min CCP meeting on this released a few months ago that confirms this.”

{…}

“The West has to explain to ALL it's people that ALL the promises of socialism they made were FALSE and they will NEVER bring themselves to do that so WAR it will be. That is why absolutely NO ONE in America is interested in peace in Ukraine or anywhere else. THEY NEED THIS.

The financial mismanagement of the last 51years will be blamed on the WAR - not the political class or the central banks like it should be. They will do everything in their power to convince you the Chinese and Russians are the reason you are now broke. They are already attempting to do this with the Russians with Food and Gas.

Let me be the first to tell you that is completely BS.”

{…}

“These nations know the greatest strength they have at the moment is their energy sectors. They do not want to escalate this situation until the weather starts to turn COLD again.”

{…}

“In the face of this asset collapse, and the realization WW3 has started, the fed will be forced to do the only thing it can - with the intense dollar strength and higher yields WW3 will bring the Fed will reverse course, AGAIN, and the dollars created will be in an even larger amount than EVER before - yields will be driven lower again as well but what makes it worse this time is the GAS and DIESEL will be needed for the war.

It's not going to be like March of 2020 where the collapse hit energy and saved people with lower prices.

The hyperinflation at that point will be driven by BOTH the shortages in energy AND a falling dollar value due to the restart of QE and Stimulus. This is how we get to never before seen levels of price far FAR worse than today...

Gas and Diesel will be rationed. So too will most food items. We will live again as our grandparents and parents did during WW2. Our government will use the chaos of this situation to advance their Great Reset agenda...

Around this time I suspect the government will justify more lockdowns and a mail-in only election with some sort of political false flag relating to the beginning of WW3.”

Tim your theory about collectivist society correlating with females adhering to more traditional gender roles seems valid and accurate given my 3 decades experience in the Philippines (departed 2020 and probably never going back!). But who needs vapid relationships and family in the Knowledge Age? Your wife and the people around you are no where near your intellect. The most efficient will be those who leverage technology. Kids and family is a burden that depletes the man. I suggest Thinking-Ape’s YT channel. The most successful men will dominate social evolution about which 180 IQ Freeman Dyson pointed out is moving a zillion times faster than Darwinian species evolution (when he slapped Richard Dawkins’ ignorance). You are advocating hanging on to something that is antiquated and dying. We will have artificial procreation soon as well too. Successful men will have everything at their fingertips instead of wasting their life in some backwater and becoming stagnant.

Read backwards from the end of the updates on my published idea, "Official" (impostor) Bitcoin Core to Drop to $0 in 2023? You will understand nothing holistically until you understand that (ostensibly some very high IQ contractors of) the $trillionaire, surreptitious, shadow, uppermost elite (e.g. Rothschild, Vanderbilts, etc) created Bitcoin and they are implementing John Nash’s Ideal Money (Jstor) (which is Bitcoin) as a NWO. Bitcoin is Rothschild’s (et al shadow elite) Economist Magazine 1988 cover story Phoenix. That is why we inexplicably see Mark Suckerberg revealing that the FBI was manipulating the 2020 election, with the only plausible explanation being a more powerful entity is pulling strings behind the curtain so as to discredit the nation-states and create discord while also pushing the transition to an interim multi-polar fiat monetary and economic trade system so that only legacy Bitcoin can be trusted as the new world reserve currency. The sacrificial elite pawns (e.g. Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab) are being manipulated for this purpose. If the FBI is reading this then they should try to understand that they are a collateral damage target for destruction also, not at my hands of course, but as a necessary sacrifice under the plans of the shadow elite on the way to total world enslavement in a 666 Bitcoin “Ideal Money”.

Legacy protocol Bitcoin (not the current “official Bitcoin” impostor which will be destroyed, because the 2017 New York Agreement soft-fork broke the Nash equilibrium by creating a 13+ million BTC booty) will be a 666 system, because: a) the nation-states will first fight it by restricting our access (e.g. via aggressive AML, KYC, taxation, capital controls against Russia, etc) along with the legacy protocol limited to 1 MiB block size thus driving transaction fees too high for most of us to transact on; and b) although proof-of-work mining is permissionless, fungible resources are always power-law distributed in nature thus meaning eventually the Biblical prophesy that all the wealth (and the surreptitious control of more than 50% of the Bitcoin mining enabling censorship of transactions by the surreptitious “God” which is really just the shadow elite) becomes concentrated on the Seven Hills (of Rome or Jerusalem depending on your theological interpretation). Also such majority control of mining also enables complete deanonymization of Monero; yet that’s irrelevant anyway because only one proof-of-work block chain (i.e. Satoshi legacy, immutable protocol Bitcoin) can survive anyway due to all other proof-of-work altcoins inherently carrying an INSOLUBLE (i.e. there is no possible fix) flaw of repeated non-readjustment after mining difficulty bomb attacks. The people of the world are receiving this outcome because human nature can’t avoid choosing a King on Earth (e.g. a government) as the Lord warned and admonished not to do in 1 Samuel 8; and note that Romans was corruptly translated to English from the original Greek — Paul was critical of government.

P.S. The technologically astute may be interested in my epiphany, Why did Satoshi employ double-hashing? And most people don’t realize that Nash’s discoveries were a profound unification of economics and social science.

Comment:

Apparently some new U.S. crypto regulation will be announced in September. Not clear if it will take effect immediately, but we have seen reports that for example Coinbase has been asking some users to revalidate their identity (KYC) and possibly submit PoSoFs (AML). I think September is more related to something like that and escalation of capital controls (e.g. Tornado.cash) than some imminent WW3 action and hyperinflationary spiral.

Actually if you realize that the problem is the rapidly appreciating U.S. dollar (exacerbating price inflation in the EU) due to the stampede out of the Euro, then the likely action coming in September is to make it much more difficult to move capital internationally. This would also provide another boost to Bitcoin (thus justifying more capital controls on crypto), as was the case when Venezuela’s gold and Russia’s foreign reserves were confiscated.

Pope Instructs ALL Vatican Entities to Move all Funds to Vatican Bank Before September 30

This move by Pope Francis aligns perfectly with the information provided to me over this past weekend, from Bankers/Financial people I had to "lean on" for information, revealed in my August 29 radio show.

Those Bankers/Financial people told me on Saturday night-into-Sunday that THEY expect a massive financial collapse "within 3 to 4 weeks" the official commencing of World War 3, and a hyperinflationary period, wiping out societal function. It's all in the archive of my August 29 radio show. The notes I used for that show are HERE for subscribers to this site, who support it with $1 a week subscription.

When The Pope tells the church to get all their money into the Vatican Bank (pronto), it sure looks to me like he knows the other banks are going to be in massive trouble, and he wants the church funds to be safe.

Of course, that's only my interpretation, but it seems to fit the facts.

@B B the 2nd Amendment rights are more for when the FBI and IRS agents come storming individual booby trapped homes and receive a whole lot of collateral damage for each individual they retrieve guns from cold dead hands. Do they want to foster a Schelling point for a fully organized State militia to form? I don’t think so. Thus the 2nd Amendment discourages tyranny.

@The Dude Trump ostensibly didn’t publicize the contents of the declassified RussiaGate documents because firstly that would make him appear desperate and perhaps be some pretext for accusing him of inciting revolution or bypassing some normal process. Much better to let the leftists squirm and scheme for a couple of years committing more crimes along the way in their attempt to stop the declassified documents from reaching the National Archives and public distribution and awareness. But moreover Trump is likely playing 4D chess and a raid was the best way to boost his campaign contributions. Did you know that unspent campaign contributions can be kept tax free?

Comment:

As your Chinese friend said, that politics has killed more people than wars.

The issue in China has less of anything to do with resources, proximity to attacks from war nor even Martin Armstrong’s incorrect theory that China and Russia are the alternative to the WEF. Nope. It is always about political power. China and Russia are working together with the globalist elite in the West to fool all the people into believing that their enslavement is because of war and COVID.

Observe. Later China will blame the war on foreigners who allegedly released a biological weapon China in Wuhan. Even Russia claims to have found a biological weapons facility in Ukraine. Thus the lockdowns will be used to make Chinese more and more angry at foreigners, just as the sanctions are used to make Russians more angry at the West. And same the Western mass media will continue to fool most Westerners into believing the war was started by Russia and China and an attack on human rights in Ukraine and Taiwan (when in fact it was fully instigated by the West or at least providing sufficient justification with Putin and Xi fully cooperating with Western globalist elite to enslave all of us but you will never get a proud Russian to believe their government is enslaving them). And that China released the COVID viruses on everyone by not shutting down their airports sooner and by hosting a biological weapons facility in Wuhan.

Our globalist elites are fooling the entire world. And humans believe this nonsense. Just goes to show how much I hate the sheep that populate this world, because they are gullible and apathetic a.f.. The sheep that populate this world never do any research.

Martin Armstrong in 2020 and 2021 (and Hal Turner this week in 2022) have explained that the Minsky Moment had arrived for the multi-decade $trillions global debt bubble. The elite who run this world were threatened with the chaos and blame for the imminent global economic collapse. Thus they needed a scapegoat to fool the people and make the people of the world believe the economic collapse was caused by something else, i.e. COVID and war.

Humans are stupid a.f..

My strategy is move to where the governments have nearly no control over daily life. And/or where the people are armed and resisting effectively (e.g. some States of the USA). No way I am going to remain in some Eastern country, because Easterners are collectivists and will end up fighting their own shadow if their government tells them the shadow is the enemy. And the East now includes most of the EU and most Australians, as they are much more collectivists than the USA.

Research their COVID policies from 2021 if you want freedom. For me only (at least parts of) the USA and Mexico will be freedom. Maybe Costa Rica. Maybe SE Asia with a vax card obtained by bribing someone. I do not know about those other countries. People in United States are already fighting against the corruption. For example in the Philippines it is impossible (or highly impractical even if possible) to do inter-island travel and enter many establishments without a vax card.

Many in the United States are already buying AR-15 military rifles so they can never be forced to do anything they refuse to do. We in the USA prepare to die if necessary in self-defense in our homes (not insurrection).

You do not have until 2024. Maybe 6 to 9 months only to leave China if you want to leave. After that probably damn near impossible.

In the Western world the next series of totalitarianism is likely to take the form of rationing and capital controls. Westerners can be controlled through their bank accounts and later even more fine grain control via CBDCs. In mostly cash based countries such as poor countries, much of the population would be unaffected by bank and CBDC imposed controls. So maybe in those countries the problems will only be price inflation, economic collapse, vaccine totalitarianism and crushing poverty leading to rampant criminality? Maybe they do not need another pandemic excuse to require biannual vaccine boosters as the WHO might just mandate it for no reason. The ability to bribe for vax cards might disappear maybe they go 100% digital and remove any ability to cheat by highly centralizing the vax centers. Cheating is dangerous as later records may be back traced and many thrown in jail.

Who knows even those who had valid vax cards may be accused of bribing in these disorganized, illogical, “don’t know, don’t care, not my problem” collectivist/backward society, dictatorial countries in Asia — could turn into huge clusterfuck of epic proportions as the economy implodes during WW3 and governments become more empowered domestically (e.g. martial law, rationing, etc) by emergency war powers. Maybe they do not care if centralizing means vast numbers of people are not able to obtain a vaccine and thus become trapped in their locale in crushing poverty thus making it very uncomfortable for foreigners who attempt to remain.

China is preparing the people to sacrifice and rationing of food.

COVID and later WW3 are the excuses to do it.

We are headed into a maelstrom. Prepare!

he mention to travel around PH, he need vax card, I wasn't aware , interesting China choose to require PCR test, not vax card , currently in big cities of china, they are only incentivising old people to take it with gift or money.

PCR test might look like a more strict policy, but it isn't compare to VAX CARD!

PCR testing industry won't go away, if g ates have other pandemic in mind.

Always you find excuses for the CCP. Indeed China is a very difficult country to manage, partially because of the horrible geography and the attitude of the Chinese. But the fact remains is that the ruling entity takes all the blame in China. As you know from history when everything gets bad in China the Chinese think the rulers have lost the mandate from heaven to rule and they become vicious in their attacks on the government. So the CCP needs a scapegoat needs to monitor the population in a dystopian way. China is a clusterfuck and its demographics are falling off a cliff.

Keep in mind that the Latin Americans have never had a problem with food ever. There is a fundamental difference from China. That is why they are so unconcerned about government and organization. It is why they end up in poverty which leads to criminality. They have an attitude of freedom first, enjoy life, so not worry about anything.

The east coast of China may likely maintain it's prosperity but as a defacto penitentiary.

Aside from a socially engineered androgynous acceptance, China seems to be an ideal power center for NWO trans-humanist ideals/innovation.

Chinese are typically very analytical but extremely rigid-minded due to several factors such as a cultural cleansing of independence and freedom.

Unbalanced geography is not factored into this data. In a country with vast plains for producing grains and grazing livestock, with the population concentrated on the East coast for trade, the politics is able to wedge itself in between the food supply and the population. Whereas Latin American food supply is more decentralized because the population centers are mixed in with the agriculture. The people are to a large extent still living in the farms and there isn't this Great Divide as there is in China where you even need a permit to move from the farms to the city, because the government has a huge problem with the economic imbalance between prosperity on the coast and on the inland, landlocked farms.

The USA has oceans on two coasts, a huge gulf on the third, a huge Mississippi River that bisects the Eastern half. The Great Lakes feed a huge canal system in the North-East.

China was able to feed a huge population and focused their energy on that, which created a very unstable situation of feeding the coasts with massive migration.

Choke points in China enables control which leads to failure and chaos.

So my point isn’t a relative abundance of the ability to produce food in Latin America, but the fact that a person can go pick a banana off the banana tree if they need to. The vast population of China can not do that and this imbalance has historically created the culture and politics. Farmers need a lot of kids, the population swells, poverty increases, a bad harvest comes, famine and the government collapses.

Since the Latin Americans are not relying on intensive farming, they are more resilient to climate change and the Biblical 7 bad years.

The U.S. automated farms and thus the population did not swell out of proportion and the U.S. has naturally awesome transportation. Also the individualist culture. The Brandon administration is attempting to create a food crisis in the USA though.

@Chartguru1, do you mean buying any dip after hitting 5200+ by Q1 2023? Or do you mean my posited -63% flash crash after hitting ~5900? My model is 2019 is more or less repeating but with some potential fractal wave constructive interference. Thus I expect an initial high Q4 2022 to Q1 2023, then a reaccumulation while the Fed is forced to become more dovish with the labor recession ensuing. That dovish stance will propel a final move to ~5900 as was the case in late 2019 into January before the March 2020 flash crash. My posited reason for the Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 flash crash might be the beginning of WW3 with Russia launching an invasion of Lithuania and/or the use of nuclear weapons. This is guess work of course. If the posited flash crash mimics 2020, then it should be bought immediately as the Fed will be forced to Brrrr $trillions again.

Comment:

(WARNING! SEPTEMBER WILL BE A BITCOIN BLOODBATH!!!)

The potential flaw in your estimate for the price of the bottom is that this cycle bottom might be a wave 4 and wave 5 ATH is still incoming. It appears that the flash crash of March 2020 also factors into the projection, thus the percentage decline will be significantly less than your -79% estimate. The mega crash is coming in Q4 2023, especially if Bitcoin is still in wave 4 with wave 5 ATH incoming first.

Comment:

To expound a bit on the EW count, major wave 2 that ended March 2020 retraced more than 61.8% of wave 1. Most people do not know this creates a terminal impulse condition in which all waves take the form A-B-C instead of 1-2-3-4-5. Thus the April 2021 peak was A, the summer 2021 decline was B and the November 2021 top was C forming wave 3. Now we had a A-B-C correction already and the bottom was in June.

Lol CA will ban gas cars but their grid can in no way be upgraded to support everyone with an electric car. They’re already rationing electricity. Western civilization is self-immolating. It's the same pattern of self inflicted insanity during the collapse of every decadent civilization. We became too self-important and a massive debt bubble.

Note 1.5 million troops in N.Korea and 1 million in China. There is still the land bridge to Alaska separated by only a small gap of water. And Alaska is sparsely populated. Trudeau seems to be inviting them and disarming the citizenry. In U.S. heartland there's a gun under every blade of grass. Probably not in left leaning coastal WA state. Russian nuclear subs have been surfacing off the Pacific coast regularly, ostensibly to warn us to stop poking Russian bear. Lithuania is forcing Russia to invade to restore rail supply access to land locked Kaliningrad.

Russia is first trying to warn us by applying energy sanctions against Europe. If that fails to stop us then invading a NATO country invokes the mutual defense treaty and WW3. Russia is very willing to deploy first strike nukes. Mayhem late next year. Mark my word.

Russia is no match for the NATO military might. But Russia has always said nuclear is on the table if the Russian state’s existence is threatened. So Russia will ultimately be forced to the nuclear option.

This is not what I envisioned for the latter half or third of my life. And surely not what you envisioned for the last decade or two of yours. It's so antithetical that most would rather believe absolute nonsense propaganda directed at manipulation of these emotional no fly zones.

There's got to be a clever way to game theory this predicament. To profit off everyone else's Idiocracy.

Not that I don't wish to see others prosper but we can't even lead a horse to water much less force it to drink from the fountain of truth a zillion miles away from it's head.

Also the collapse of the debt bubble was going to impoverish many anyway. The only difference between that and the Bolshevik propaganda Idiocracy, is it will make it much worse by convincing people not to adapt sooner because it's really the fault of rebranded flu, Trump and Pootin. Convert the failure to a Planet of the Apes culture war. And we claim to have big brains? Nope. We are still ruled by our savage animal instincts.

Society only functions when we can come together in a mutually beneficial economy and social structure, e.g. the Western Hajnal Line nuclear family (not Eastern clan oriented culture) in a highly liberalized, networked civilization. Unfortunately that requires a debt bubble and empire. And eventually becomes decadent and divisively righteous. We're at that inflection point now for the collapse into Planet of the Apes societalcide. It's sad and I'm sad for Mark, uncle Brent and you my mother. I'm praying you will be enlightened now. It's not worth losing the crumbs of our family to Idiocracy. Good night.

@Sean L. no they were just being power hungry dickheads as usual.

Imagine an ATF agent shows up to confiscate your weapon, you call the cops and they taze and arrest the agent. "Hell yeah, this worked out great."

What we see here is a prime example of the failure to de-escalate. All it would have taken was to calmly approach the ATF agent and ask him to verify his credentials. Instead, the officer approached the situation aggressively from the very start.

When you watch this, think about this...this is how the local police treated a Federal Agent and lied about it afterward. What would they do to you? Then the first officer lies and the second one swears to it.

(click for a concise, astute infographic)

“Eastern cultures emphasize relationship interdependence, hierarchy and status, whereas Western cultures emphasize individual uniqueness and equality. Based on these cultural differences, Easterners would be expected to experience more emotions related to hierarchy, violations of group norms, and maintaining group harmony. Conversely, Westerners would be expected to experience emotions related to violations of an individual’s rights and to individual successes. Westerns seek to optimize positive emotions and minimize negative emotions. Conversely, Easterners are more comfortable balancing positive and negative emotions, and thus tend to experience mixed emotions more often and for a longer period of time.”

This last bit is very instructive for me. Indeed, I place an extreme weight against negative experiences. Whereas I noticed Asians tolerate a lot of negative feelings and more interested in maintaining a balance. I was flabbergast that Filipinos would just tolerate everything and not rage for immediate, corrective actions. Westerners want to strive to maximize their peaks, and live the rollercoaster than settle for the banality or drab existence of harmony and stability. For a Westerner to settle for the mean is death; for an Asian it is life. This is also reflected in our distribution of IQ with Western IQ much less, closely clustered around the mean (more variance and individual exceptions), but East Asian average IQ being higher. THIS COULD NOT BE MORE OPPOSITE AND IT IS PRECISELY WHY I FELT DEAD IN ASIA AND I HATE IT.

The more individualistic one is the more extreme this is. I am on the most extreme edge, as I said I admire the absolute lawlessness of the rural Western States of the USA. I harbor an intense passionate hate for the limitations of society, authority and hierarchy. I could not be more Western! How did I manage to stay in the Philippines so long without becoming entirely insane?

The British Empire was more harsh on the Chinese addicting them to opium because the Chinese were prudent, predatory traders (importing less than exporting as usual) and were amassing all of England’s silver, so England had to be more clever and outwit the Chinese collectively. And thus China had turned even more inward hence. The Westerners will always be more clever in the end because we tolerate and foster individual ideas more.

You can also relate this to the issue of perception of Chinese quality being low. Westerners don’t forget negative experiences, thus you had better never make a bad impression on a Western consumer. We want to maximize our time for positive experiences, not be wading through hordes of low quality crap to find a few items of high quality.

Now given that Westerners will not tolerate negative outcomes, just imagine why our overlords needed a manufactured Pootin war and cerveza sickness scapegoat for the incoming economic collapse. And given Russians and Chinese will willingly endure many negative experiences, imagine the sacrifices for Easterners that are planned for the upcoming WW3 period. In America this is going to erupt into separatism and if necessary Civil War. Armstrong is correct.

Comment:

Armstrong’s latest blog is very important as cited below (as it hints at the possibility that ultimately the US cities may be nuked…reduced to rubble so we can build back better), but it’s also important for another reason which he does not state. I don’t know if he refuses to entertain the thesis I will repeat for the umpteenth time.

One of the key recent events is Russia legalizing Bitcoin for international settlement. Precisely as I predicted that the $trillionaires behind the curtain (whomever they are) would foster a the conflict long since predicted in the apocalyptic Denver airport murals that would create the instability of a multipolar world which would allow the Phoenix global currency to rise from the power vacuum ashes as predicted on the 1988 Economist Magazine cover story. Legacy protocol Bitcoin is the Phoenix (not the current official impostor Bitcoin which will soon be destroyed and the legacy resurrected via the ANYONECANSPEND mechanism which I have detailed in my writings).

Thus the incoming nuclear war has been planned for a long time. Martin is so naive and thinks politicians are too stupid and don’t realize what they are doing. No it is that Rothschild has them all by the balls with kompromat and situational inertia. Our political elite don’t want to be blamed for the inevitable, debt bubble economic collapse so they take the bait for creating scapegoats which the greater NWO power behind the curtain uses to further manipulate to play all sides off on each other to create the NWO outcome they desire. The people steering our ship are beholden to the globalist powers which are driving us towards the NWO with Bitcoin as the enslaving international reserve currency, as explained in famed mathematician John Nash’s Ideal Money paper (distributed on JStor).

The NWO will not entirely end the nation-state but it will enslave the nation-states and foster separatism. Martin needs to understand this has all been planned for decades and carried out methodically. Even the planners behind the curtain which Armstrong can not know (they are much more behind the curtain than Margaret Thatcher) knew the Euro would be a disaster. This was all intentional, for the outcome we are witnessing now.

> “there are so many good product that i cant get else where , and it is very affordable. you let the market decide what i s of low quality.”

I don’t disagree that there is a smorgasbord of product variety coming out of China. Yet even when I search on alibaba.com and aliexpress.com, I rarely find something I like with the assurance of quality I need to order that from overseas. The hit-and-miss rate with Chinese quality is horrible, so we Westerners will not bother with it. Instead we would rather pay double or triple the price for the U.S. branded import from China, which has been vetted for quality already. Consistency is important to us. We value our time. Chinese marketers do not understand this, thus they are unable to effectively sell directly to us. Now I just gave you insight with which you can become very wealthy given your training is in marketing.

To expound upon this a bit, Chinese are serving the market of cheapskates in Asia who want a disposable product because they can’t afford a quality product.

But this is an anathema to Americans who have traditionally expected all products to be sturdily constructed to endure for decades. We do not like buying junk. It has gotten so bad that I had a very difficult time finding a can opener that would last. I finally found one but it was one of a 100s of low quality junk. What a massive waste of my time trying to find that needle in the haystack.

In other words, Americans are adjusted to a middle class society not a society with an egregious Gini coefficient. Asians are well adapted to enslavement. It is even reflected in their willingness to serve a market of improverished with an intentional quality that are disposable products.

Even Filipinos buy their shampoo and toothpaste in extremely small packages that cost much more over the long-term but are less outlay in the immediate.

These are not false statements. They are the perspective of those from a culture alien to your own. We simply will not understand each other. And that was my conclusion in the Philippines also. We can not understand each other.

MY ANONYMITY TECHNOLOGY EPIPHANY

For first time in several months I applied myself to the anonymity technology issue while traveling on Wednesday and again today.

In theory I've made an important discovery which should make anonymity both practical and 100% guaranteed. So we won't even need to use surrogates to attempt to hide our Internet connection.

Specifically I'm referring to hiding the identity of any sender of a message over the Internet, normally proposed to be handled by a mix-net. I'm not referring to onchain unlinkability of transactions which is already well studied by Zcash (c.f. also, also, also, and not that dog shit Monero).

Specifically I wasn't satisfied with the impracticality of the high latency, huge number of servers, communication load and impossibility to prove one honest server per anytrust group in the Atom networked-mixing protocol. In theory my novel, homorphic encryption shuffle-in-place (i.e. no networked-mixing) design needs only one server that does not need to be trusted and no increase in communication load over non-anonymous sending.

Under the incoming totalitarianism it might be difficult for individuals to stand up servers. My righteous, astute and salient goal is to shift the burden to computation from (the impractical notion of) user-maintained servers. It will be nearly impossible for the authorities to play the Whac-a-Mole game tracking down and banning single server solutions (in my design) erected by those motivated by significant financial profits (e.g. imagine the Mexican cartels getting into that business model).

Anonymous receipt is already well studied by oblivious transfer (OT) and private information retrieval (PIR){1}. My new idea applies specifically to sender identity both for private communications and public broadcast.

I will write this down here for my own retention later after returning from gym and setting up my notebook for the first time. We're in a brownout today bcz of the tropical storm passing through. I'll be able to run the notebook off my vehicle battery. I'm typing this on mobile.

I can say with more confidence that the governments will lose and we will win. Soon they won't be able to ban anything because everything on the Internet will be amorphous in terms of linkability to banned activity.

{1} Tangentially, The Simplest Protocol for Oblivious Transfer explains eloquently how OT works (which btw exhibits how clever some Chinese are). If you don’t understand the (rather simple) modular math, just realize (as shown concisely in the summary box) that sender encrypts both messages in a way that sender can’t determine which message the recipient is able to decrypt, and the recipient can only decrypt the message indicated by his choice. PIR is just OT without the restriction of what the recipient can receive/decrypt. Most OT/PIR algorithms send more messages than the recipient requests (excepting the paper by Aggelos Kiayias, the Chief Science Officer of Cardano’s IOHK) but OT and not PIR limits those which the recipient can decrypt.

Bingo. All proof-of-stake block chains can be regulated, because new stake can’t be stood up at-will permissionless. Governments will target stake. I actually have a posited technological solution to this. As far as I know I am the only person on the planet who does. Because proof-of-work altcoins will all be destroyed by the mining difficulty bomb non-readjustment attacks which are planned.

It absolutely is their plan.

Comment:

ADD: @Alekillo10 it is easy to reason out the tragedy-of-the-commons reason why proof-of-stake can’t be resistant to government control. The government merely has to declare that any stake that does not enforce certain regulations is committing illegal activity. Those regulations can include censoring stake that is committing said illegal acts by not censoring other transactions. This implodes. For example all BFT algorithms halt if 33% of the stake refuses to agree on the consensus. The power-law distributed wealth in stake will of course side with the government. Proof-of-stake is an enslavement paradigm.

> “we knew this day would come, the pushback is here, time to use the courts and secure the future for decentralization ”

Lol. So you propose to fight centralization with the corrupt, centralized kangaroo court system. No. You fight with decentralization. Truly decentralized systems would be entirely impervious to the government. Unfortunately only Bitcoin is decentralized. Proof-of-stake in inherently centralized and will be fully regulated by governments. Another issue is anonymity technology. Zcash handles onchain technology well, but there is a gaping hole in sender anonymity as all extant mix-nets (including the Atom paper) are impractical and unreliable. I have recently devised the homographic encryption solution we need.

A multipolar world with the nation-states discredited and in shambles, no more single reserve currency, will open the door for Bitcoin to rise as the world’s only trusted international reserve asset. This past week Russia legalized Bitcoin for international settlement. This entire thing has been planned out since the 1988 Economist Magazine Phoenix cover story. The Phoenix will rise from the ashes of the incoming nuclear WW3. And they powers-that-be who are pulling the strings behind the curtain will not stop escalating this until Russia is backed into a corner and forced to use at least tactical nukes if not also ICBMs and submarine launched nukes. It is desired that the optics in the West is that Russia (and later China also w.r.t. Taiwan) will have created the entire conflict, which is the case since the ignorant Westerners consume only the liar lamestream mass media.

The powers that be want our pre-Millennial generations gone. We serve no purpose post debt bubble. This will not be like WW2 which was about transferring the Western empire across the Atlantic pond. Now we transfer the empire across the Pacific ocean and as well away from nation-states. This is a millennial epoch shift, as giganormous in impact as the fall of Rome. This is not on the middling level of WW2.

> > 11:58 “And you don’t recover the same genome from an uninfected cell culture” How is this not a tautology? How did you otherwise determine who is and is not “infected” except by recovering the genome. But what is the objective measure of actual disease and causal relationship to the alleged virus? Whereas with bacteriophages we can infect bacteria in their natural habit (e.g. rivers and lakes) and observe die-off, there is no valid research I am aware of (although I have seen some papers I can easily refute) that has demonstrated the comparable causal relationship in vivo for alleged human viruses. Also mock infections don’t factor out the potential toxicity of the cell culture containing the alleged virus regardless of any alleged viral action. So you weaken a cell culture with some toxic brew and then proclaim viral action, even capture cyro-EM images of the alleged viral action, but we know very well from most all other biological science that in vitro results rarely ever pan out in vivo. Those alleged viral genetics structures could actually exist in the body but that by itself doesn’t establish a causal link with disease in vivo. Virologists are never able to actually demonstrate any of this in vivo (because obviously you can’t do cyro-EM on living things). So it is possible you have fooled yourself with your sophistry. 😉You claimed any genetic material not found in the “human genome” is infectious?🤦‍♀️Did you forget we have more bacteria in bodies than cells. Duh. There’s a lot of genetic material hanging around in the human body that isn’t infectious.

@Wolves of Crypto correct Bitcoin was always intended to be the next world reserve currency, not some irrelevant toy for purchasing coffee at Starbucks. Now when you understand that Bitcoin is the 1989 Economist Magazine’s cover story Phoenix and that its design was even leaked in an anonymous 1998 user group post, then you are getting closer to opening Pandora’s box and piecing together the diabolical plan as I have already done. You ignore the technological and game theory facts I know at your peril.

Find the relevant nugget in my replies in the comment section on the page found if you search verbatim for: trading view "2023 - Year From Hell"

The soft forked variant of Bitcoin will go to zero. Make sure you read what I told Wolves of Crypto to read and that you are hodling in addresses that begin with 1, not 3 nor bc1.

@Wolves of Crypto The anomaly that is coming has been known by Satoshi since 2010 when he wrote about turning corrupted gold (i.e. the 2017 soft fork) back to gold again. Steve has almost unlocked the entire Pandora’s box. His remaining myopia in terms of understanding how this diminishing returns $90k top could co-exist with a $million lambos top is that Bitcoin will bifurcate with the incoming Anyone Can Spend Nash equilibrium restoration. I have been trying to get him to pay attention but he and other vloggers ostensibly refuse to read the inarguable game theory I have published. This also ties into the constructive interference of fractal waves which will cause the ~90k top to be in 2023 as an extensive wave as was the case in the 2013 bull cycle. If you want to understand why Bitcoin has fallen out of his log-regression fit then he needs to understand properly the Anyone Can Spend technological facet and game theory.

@Scott W Carl Sagan has been entirely debunked for example about the prospects for a nuclear winter. And anthropogenic climate change is if anything highly beneficial although the sun spot cycle dominates any effect humans have. Partake of for example 180 IQ Freeman Dyson's interview on the topic before he passed on in 2020 sadly.

20 year old, 160 IQ Naomi Seibt has done an admirable job of explaining the junk science of the CPCC.

As I am sure you know that environment is not at all the same as climate. And the two are not even loosely linked. And you did write environment, not climate. The Carbon cycle is the life cycle of our planet. Environmental concentration maybe behooves us to use EVs in crowded cities but this isn’t applicable on the aggregate such as climate. Base load can’t be provided by solar and wind. Bitcoin’s electrical security cost is declining as a percentage of market cap with the 4 year halving cycle.

Comment:

Putin is being criticized within Russia for being too soft on Ukraine. Putin addressed the nation finally admitting that the West “wants to destroy our Russia” and has frankly stated that the West is disingenuously turning “Ukraine’s people into cannon fodder.” Putin explained that the Western nations intentionally provoked and instigated a proxy war with Russia. For example, the day before Russia’s invasion Zelenskyy declared Ukraine would be reestablished as a nuclear power in violation of the implied intent and raison d’être of the 1991 Budapest agreement.

Putin had been pleading with the West not violate the spirit and implied intent of the Budapest agreement to not have NATO encroach on its Eastern border. Those Warsaw pact nations were to remain an unaligned buffer zone. Heck decade before Putin even asked for Russia to be admitted to NATO to prevent such a conflict. As the Western oil companies were moving into Crimea in a proxy energy war against Russia, facilitated after the U.S. State Dept and CIA had arranged for a U.S. puppet to become president of Ukraine, Putin had no choice but to take Crimea in 2014. An outcome of that struggle was the Minsk agreement that Ukraine was to allow free and fair elections in the Russian-speaking-dominated areas of Ukraine. Zelenskyy was elected on a platform of honoring these agreements and making peace.

Instead he did the opposite and had his Nazi Asov battalion committing atrocities (e.g. firing RPGs into civilian homes) against the Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine. Finally when Brandon sent Kamala Harris to the Munich Conference on February 20, 2022 to declare that Ukraine was to be immediately admitted to NATO, Putin had no choice anymore and was forced to start the Special Operations to stop the atrocities and secure the buffer zone in Eastern Ukraine. He never intended to take all of Ukraine because that would cause instability in the region and be difficult to manage.

But the West continues to escalate the proxy war forcing Putin into a corner in which at last resort he will not hesitate to deploy first-strike annihilation of the West with nuclear weapons. Remember Carl Sagan’s nuclear winter hypothesis has been entirely debunked. Only the Western cities will be destroyed not the rural areas. I am excited about this outcome because the cities are mostly Demonrats (democrats).

Comment:

Fed pointed out something very important and different from prior recessions. The labor market is incredibly supply side limited in the USA with two job offerings for every willing applicant. Thus a wage price spiral of inflation could be sustained until the Fed breaks the economy. This is imbalance is what happens when the government is handing out money like fruit cakes to everyone with a pulse. Thus the Bolsheviks running the USA have made it impossible to contain inflation.

Comment:

Westerners are mentally deranged being so Gung-ho about “defeating” Putin with their virtue signaling about defending democracy in Ukraine when in fact Zelenskyy is a Nazi thug who was committing atrocities against civilians in the Donbast?

Subsidies and/or price controls ultimately lead to egregious stagflation, rationing and war, e.g. paying people to not work in the USSA has resulted in two jobs open for every applicant and thus a wage-price spiral that can only be stopped by crashing the economy.

Interesting thing about UBI is nobody has an incentive to work but demand inflation goes crazy. So UBI forces rationing. Insanity!!!!!!

The writing is on the wall. Deagel.com’s prediction for 50+% depopulation of NATO by 2025 might end up coming to fruition.

(Is the Fed Fighting Against The Global Elite | Mark Moss)

@Mark Moss you have an error in your thesis. The market sets interest rates not the Fed. The bearish RSI divergences on the 2Y and DXY say that the market believes the interest rates can not go higher than 4 – 4.5% without crashing the U.S. economy. Meaning that even if the Fed could raise market interest rates (which they can’t) that the crashing economy would bring them right back down. Or understand it as market participants believe that they will profit at 4.25% when the economy crashes and bonds increase in value as the Fed is forced to Brrrr again and interest rates plummet as investors stampede back into the safety of bonds when the S&P plummets -63% from the new ATH incoming before that.

Bitcoin is sniffing this. That is why it did not moon after the June low because it knew that rates and the dollar would increase. And that is ostensibly why it is not making a lower low while the S&P heads for a lower low, because Bitcoin is ostensibly sniffing out that rates and the dollar will have peaked this month.

Bitcoin is becoming the monetary reserve unit-of-account of the world. And now it is starting to clearly play a monetary role, correctly interpreting the movement of interest rates and the dollar.

Bitcoin has become the canary in the coal mine, so to speak.

Interview WORLD FIRST: The Plot to Seize Russia, War Propaganda, and More

Comment:

This is basically the same discussion as the prior video but with some additional details. From ~45 min mark, they discuss the future of the ongoing trend of moving out of the cities to the suburbs. Many Europeans escaping to Latin America. Also in both videos Armstrong claims a single 100 megaton nuclear bomb from Russia can wipe out the entire island of Britain (not sure if that is correct but certainly 3 or 4 of them directed at the major population centers will make the entire southern half probably uninhabitable). I don’t know if this was just a (Freudian?) slip of his tongue, but he said if China was going to INVADE the U.S., the first thing it would do is sell of its former massive holdings of U.S. debt (well that is exactly what China has been doing lately!). Surely he meant go to war with the U.S. and not invade Alaska (although apparently Trudeau has been hosting Chinese troops)? He said the EU will entirely collapse:

Interview: The Plot to Seize Russia & Make It a NATO Vassal

Comment:

Everyone in a ~60km radius of 100 megaton would sustain 3rd degree burns and probably die unless they are inside well sealed shelter at that time. Up to 35 km radius total destruction (). These will be effective only against the cities and their suburbs. And I doubt Russia will deploy a 100 megaton even they have one, because the radioactive fallout would be severe. The Tsar test was limited to 50 megaton because they would have need uranium-238 to double it which would have made it orders-of-magnitude more radioactive. At 1 megaton the radius for total destruction shrinks to 3.7km.

I would tend to think Putin would not bomb civilians and instead military bases:

Here’s the thing though. I don’t think Armstrong has the entire understanding. Armstrong seems to think this is the Neocons versus the East.

My model is someone (who ever created Bitcoin) trapped all sides and are putting them in compromised positions where they have no choice but to escalate. That entity’s goal is to discredit and then enslave the nation-states in a NWO where Bitcoin is the Ideal Money as described in famed mathematician John Nash in his Jstor paper of that name. For example the Neocons (or at least the EU side) need a scapegoat so they can hang on to power as the debt bubble implodes. The Western side are thus pushing Putin to the brink.

But the Western side is also vulnerable and will become more and more desperate as the Western people have access to the Internet and thus are waking up to what is happening. Thus as Armstrong fears they may move to cancel the 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

Problem is that desperate, powerful people could do insane things. And the posited Bitcoin mastermind behind the curtain has no qualms about massive WW3 as depicted and dedicated in the Denver airport murals, as that will discredit the nation-states and allow the 1989 Economist Magazine’s Phoenix (i.e. Bitcoin) to rise from the ashes of WW3. The Denver airport runways were also laid out in a Nazi Swastika pattern as clearly seen from aerial photos.

One would think Rothschild would not want his properties in London bombed. But the Rothschild family has been busy selling off their properties in the UK. Hmm. But who knows who is the actual mastermind entity that created Bitcoin.

Anyway, I do not feel secure to conclude that WW3 will proceed in a logical way only targeting military bases instead of civilians.

“In October, Hitler ordered a massive bombing campaign against London and other cities to crush British morale and force an armistice.”

Always a false-flag as the justification for escalation:

“The first German attack on London actually occurred by accident. On the night of August 24, 1940, Luftwaffe bombers aiming for military targets on the outskirts of London drifted off course and instead dropped their bombs on the center of London destroying several homes and killing civilians. Amid the public outrage that followed, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, believing it was a deliberate attack, ordered Berlin to be bombed the next evening.”

Comment:

The Great Reset may go down as the most important book, perhaps with hindsight. I will be adding to it over the next month with a section reviewing the demise of every economy that has ever tried to impose precisely what they are doing now. We need not just look at Russia and China or how the collapse of Marxism forced political change, and we need not even regurgitate the ongoing example of Venezuela. There are more shocking examples that warn of civil war and the breakup of nations, such as Yugoslavia and the collapse of Spain, which was once the wealthiest nation in Europe before it fell to third world status. Spain became a serial defaulter beginning in 1557, 1575, 1575, 1596, 1607, and 1647. You would think that people would wise up and stop lending to governments. That is the definition of insanity; they continually do the same stupid thing and expect a different result.

Then there is Argentina. Most write off South America and pay no attention to it, assuming they are all just corrupt banana republics. Believe it or not, Argentina was actually one of the richest countries in the world at the start of the 20th century. Then the Marxists dominated South America, and when they did, they absolutely destroyed Argentina. Argentina has never been able to recover, much as was the outcome of former Yugoslavia, Spain, Russia, and just about every other country Marxists seized control.

The last chance for the U.K. was the BRexit. Remember George Soros spent heavily to defeat it and then has ostensibly been instrumental since then in installing Theresa May and then Boris the Clown to subvert BRexit; and now the follow-up Prime Minister who take a hard-line against Russia. So maybe nukes explain Deagel.com’s prediction of 75% depopulation of the UK by 2025? That would certainly do it. Not just the death from the initial attacks but the pestilence that would follow including the radioactive fallout and disruption of supply systems.

I am sorry I just could not stand put there in the U.K. with my blinders on to my potential future hell. Sure it might not happen, but why risk it? For what? There will not be any employment going forward anyway, so why not make a plan to escape and find a way to survive in a area that will be outside the conflict zone?

It is very simple. If the U.K. stops threatening Russia then I would stay put if that was my personality type. But for as long as the U.K. will continue threatening Russia then I would view the risk as far too high to stomach.

Look I hurried to get my Mexican temporary residency in March/April 2021. Things were improving in the USA then I was thinking maybe I was a tinfoil hat Chicken Little (“sky is falling, sky is falling”). Now looks like it is becoming progressively more difficult to be approved for residency in Mexico, just as the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document (Scenarios for the Future) warned and predicted. Since 2022, Mexican Consulates have been instructed to no longer allow crypto balances for application of residency.

The escape doors are closing. The clock is ticking. Perú is an easier residency to obtain perhaps.

Note that radioactivity in the upper atmosphere will not cross the equator significantly as it blows around the world. Thus being south of the equator has a potential advantage if WW3 goes full retard nuclear. Carl Sagan’s nuclear winter scenario has been debunked.

The threat is that the culprits in the West have been trapped and become ultra desperate. And they depose the moderates in the East (e.g. Putin) enabling the insane hard-liners in the East to grab control of the nukes.

Remember this was all depicted and predicted by the wall-sized murals at the Denver airport.

Comment:

Martin Armstrong thinks the NWO will fail, but is he correct? It’s quite clear the humanitarian crisis in the Ukraine was also another plank is the program to break down the borders of nation-states in Europe as well, with Ukrainians migrating into Poland. Ditto the collapse of Venezuela sent their population into Colombia, Perú and Chile. South America is well on its way towards regional government with the Mercosur common market providing freedom-of-travel and residence in all participating nations. The failed governments of Venezuela and Argentina, along with a Constitutional crisis in Chile and heading that way in Brazil point to a festering power vacuum in South America lacking for effective governance.

Award winning, investigative journalist Lara Logan has a high-level source at the U.N. who has told her that the plan is to migrate 100 million Latin Americans across the open border so as to foster the politics for a religion government for North America that subsumes the governments of the nation-states Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A.. There will be no need for a border between these nations anymore as the differences between these nations are amalgamated and brought into parity.

What these hosts do not realize is that this amalgamation required to ameliorate the need for borders and separate nation-state governments, also requires a mass exodus of Caucasians into Mexico to raise Mexico up. I was wondering why there is a massive spending push to make four lane highways in Baja California after decades of neglect. So how would you motivate millions of Caucasians to escape to Mexico? Nuclear war against NATO countries? Btw, this also perfect fits with my thesis that the powers-that-be launched Bitcoin to enslave the nation-states in a NWO as proposed by famed mathematician John Nash’s Ideal Money proposal (published by Jstor).

Comment:

Given that 100 million was Deagel’s projected population of the U.S.A. after a depopulation/migration event by 2025, I wonder if something was misinterpreted as relayed to Lara Logan? Anyway it is clear that the powers-that-be want to harmonize the vassal nation-states to form the biblical Ten Kings regions for the world. The more they can move the governance away from the control of local people (e.g. the unelected EuropeOn Commission and the rigged elections in the USSA) to a distant, unelected authority, the more enslaved the people. Remember slavery has been the norm throughout human civilization. Never have humans been truly freemen. There’s hardly a soul reading this who isn’t enslaved in the debt-based fiat, politicized financial system for example.

Thing is that the vast majority of people are sheep. The (Stanley) Milgram experiment proved the sheepeople will follow and submit. This will NEVER change. Never.

So what are we who wish to be sovereign freepeople to do when the sheepeople will always choose enslavement? We need some way to unhitch our financial system from theirs.

I know what has to be done. Mircea Popescu’s WoT (web-of-trust) was the essence of what we need. We need a system recorded indelibly on a blockchain wherein those who pledge to never report anonymous transactions to the government obtain an anonymous reputation for not doing so (they can be anonymous and still have reputation at stake). Those who defect are cast out of the black market, parallel, anonymous (i.e. cash-like cryptocurrency that can not be tracked) financial system. And probably arses-assination bounties are put on the heads of those who join, then defect (not that I am advocating this in public).

My proposed parallel economy could grow so powerful that the government would become afraid of persecuting members, because I dare say some members might be bold enough to propose anonymous crowd-funded arses-assination bounties on the heads of senior-rank trouble making government officials and those who opt-in and then defect. This will not be for most people as most prefer a cuddly warm blanket enslavement instead of the effort required for freedom.

The sheepeople can go fail and be enslaved in their derelict, politicized financial system. We would leave them alone, as long as they leave us alone.

My proposal is the direct democracy Armstrong was proposing except entirely not in the all-inclusive manner he envisioned. Remember the State Constitutions and Assemblies (which have never been in session since the globalist coup d‘etat of Abraham Lincoln’s Lieber Code martial subversion) only allowed land owners (10+ acres) and white men to vote. Never has any sane system been all-inclusive of idiots and sheepeople.

What I am saying is we can not be in any one identifiable place or person, because the powers-that-be could just decapitate our leaders and annihilate us. We must be amorphous and attacking us must be akin to playing Whac-A-Mole.

Men must understand that freedom always requires spilling blood from time-to-time. And that every sovereign must have paid arses-assins (i.e. a military). Much better that military element be entirely anonymous, amorphous and decentralized! I am proposing to move our sovereign into the knowledge age!

That is how we win. I am a computer programmer and a block chain expert.

Those troglodyte, atavistic fools such as James A. Donald want to return to monarchy, as if that paradigm has any economic relevance after humanity departed from the agrarian and industrial ages to the fledgling knowledge age that I have been writing about since 2012.

Comment:

To prevent Sybil attacks (i.e. government operatives creating multiple anonymous identities so we can only play Whac-A-Mole against them), an anonymous identity is naturally revealed to the other party when doing tangible business in a way that could enable doxxing the other party (e.g. AirBnB rental). This does not doxx either party to the public-at-large unless one of those parties is provably doxxing the other first in violation of our new Constitution, which becomes grounds for blacklisting and if egregious enough possibly proposing arse-assination. All transactions are anonymous so even if an identity is doxxed, their funds are not traceable. Doxxing would only blacklist for those tangible transactions where the other party demands identity because of the nature of the face-to-face product or service transacted for. This is essentially the way physical cash works. Anonymity of transactions means that for example a YTuber could put up a donation address, but no one would know which transactions were received at that address. It would even be impossible to know whether the recipient even accessed or spent funds sent to that address.

Comment:

Bitcoin $billionaire (~0.5 million BTC) Mircea had concluded in Closure that the idea for such a Serene Republic failed and would not work because there was nothing accomplished by (i.e. no uptake of) his efforts, which he then blamed on there not being any men who exist on the planet anymore due to our squalid environment.

Mircea believed that freedom is only obtained via the monopoly of the sovereign. I presume he was thinking that Bitcoin whales would have more resources at their disposal than governments, when he rejected the need for any anonymity. That is a winner-take-all paradigm, which he implicitly acknowledged.

How is that Mircea failed to understand that wealth itself is self-defeating because of entropy. Large wealth must always dissolve, such as due to the mechanism that saplings grow fast to oak trees, but oak trees don’t grow to the moon, instead become stagnant and eventually rot and decay. Thus great wealth will always try to parasite on upcoming wealth and actual productivity, thus strangling itself and the entire society — Bitcoin is that Luciferian attempt on steroids!

How the fuck did Mircea expect the actual productive people to get excited about Bitcoin when it is a 666 panopticon system? Mircea thus effectively believed that productivity needs to be enslaved, yet then wonders why no actual productivity was interested in his enslavement system.

Fuck all. End of anonymous cash? Yeah I am all for that! Sign me up Mircea for 666 central bank digital currencies. Let’s strangle all the productivity and provide no portal from which any productivity can escape by concluding that the anonymity of cash was never important. 🤦🏻

His argument is inane to employ the example of the parochial rural where everyone knows everyone as the reason why anonymity is not a necessary counter-balance to the economies-of-scale in global political-financial enslavement.

Most humans understand that the earthly life is fleeting and that amassing great wealth is pointless unless you want to control others. Thus most people are only interested in being sovereign in the small — Mircea can’t control where ever leaf falls to the ground nor where I will piss and fornicate, although the powers-that-be are working on a panopticon for that. The loss of informational access to the individual’s every action is necessary for humanity to even have the degrees-of-freedom (i.e. potential energy) to generate any productivity and wealth. Mircea’s retarded (or myopic) conceptualization (presumably that wealth is a benevolent or at least virtuous steward) actually leads to complete strangulation and poisoning of the well from which any light can emanate. Again that is because wealth accumulation itself is a winner-take-all self-immolation paradigm. Thus humanity can only exist if there are means with which to ameliorate the power of accumulated wealth, at least in the small.

Mircea offered no viable choice and no pathway to success. Thus HE failed, and then blamed it on US. He did not gain any sovereignty nor freedom. He either joins Satan in his lust to enslave humanity by joining the cabal, or he succumbs to the cabal eventually. All roads lead to the Revelation.

The 170 IQ Omar Bessa who I met on Quora told me privately that in his estimation Mircea only has an ~145 IQ. So much for that “polymath genius” BS.

Comment:

It’s disappointing that ostensibly no one understands the significance of my comments enough to react.

Human civilization will always run on debt-slavery because humans have a short time preference. Economic activity stagnates without usury (as was the case in the Dark Age) because humans are only motivated to produce by a debt servicing obligation that supplied their immediate gratification. Thus the bulk of society will always help enslave any of the rest of us who would prefer to just be left alone.

The wealthy need to enslave us all because their wealth and power depends on preventing competition from those who are more nimble.

So we have a system in human civilization where the majority enslave the minority with the wealthy playing their (ultimately self-immolating as Satan deceives himself) wealth-preservation, control-freak role. Because to repeat that nimbler (smaller) capital can grow wealth faster than large wealth. Thus instead of relinquishing their relative wealth to the up-and-coming, the entrenched wealth clamp down and oppress.

So the only paradigm that prevents society from strangling itself into an eternal Dark Age, is the ability of capital to transaction away from the stifling control the wealthy and the complicit derelict majority. In the Dark Age after the fall of Western Rome there were abandoned hordes of silver and gold coins because there was no way to transact without being hunted down. This spawned the rise of feudalism and protective manors (castles even) to protect the stored gold.

So in this new digital era it essential that we have anonymity technology to duplicate the functionality of physical money (aka cash) otherwise we are doomed to possibly even the extinction event narrated in Revelation.

Bitcoin as John Nash’s Ideal Money concept providing a stable, impartial, incorruptible unit-of-account and store-of-value, facilitates both winner-take-all wealth accumulation and also potentially also nimble capital formation. I say potential because by limiting the blocks to 1MiB it is possible that nimble capital formation may be priced out by transaction fees. Also Nakamoto proof-of-work is flawed in that a 50+% attack by a cabal of the whales could in the future (i.e. the end game of Revelation) censor transactions of those who are nimble and competing to overtake them.

Bitcoin is a (thus necessarily self-immolating) technological “triumph” of Luciferian wealth accumulation over the inexorable trend of entropy to maximum.

If humanity is to survive we must have a counter balance to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most diabolical, Luciferian weapon ever unleashed on humanity.

Mircea is/was an idiot with a moderately high IQ and a sharp wit (not genius level).

Bitcoin can maybe be converted into a boon for humanity (and those of us who wish to opt-out from the societalcide smashup of the derelict majority, so as to be sovereign at least in the small) for some decade(s) if we have an anonymous system with a decentralized exchange to/from Bitcoin. But in the long-run Bitcoin is the end game of Revelation. Yet I might be dead by then anyway and hopefully humanity will work out a way to overcome Bitcoin’s diabolical end-game such as perhaps by building on any of my (or others’?) imminent efforts after I’m retired. The foundational problem is that humans employ the zero-sum game of monetary exchange as a motivation for being productive, instead of perhaps a gift culture, c.f also. Maybe I can also do something about that foundational issue also with a block chain that encourages sharing production as more rewarding than monetary accumulation — it’s at least worth an attempt.

It is key to understand that all proof-of-work altcoins will be destroyed by mining difficulty non-readjustment attacks (and yes I have studied all claimed solutions and they will not stop the attack). And proof-of-stake can be regulated by governments. Thus there will only be one global unit-of-account which is legacy Bitcoin. And eventually a cabal of the wealthy can control Bitcoin in the Revelation end-game (when all the wealth is on the Seven Hills of Jerusalem/Rome).

Comment:

Exactly the following is what is coming (repeating in history) as the governments will ban Bitcoin for domestic transactions (to the extent they can, because they certainly can’t confiscate it if held in a private wallet, although the same applied to gold as they were only able to confiscate the gold that was stored at institutions such as bank vaults) and Bitcoin will become the international transactions tier in the two-tiered monetary system. That Martin can not see this future exemplifies his hubris. And the following blog post is full of hubris as if Socrates is smarter than us who know what is happening with Bitcoin. Socrates knows nothing about legacy protocol Bitcoin becoming the next global monetary reserve. Duh.

The British Pound & the FX Crisis

In the process, the rise in the dollar will kill US exports and start the economic decline in the USA as the rise in the dollar also did during the Great Depression. This will create deflation and the rising interest rates may make some people think that the Fed is achieving its goal, but we have also shortages which are the opposite of the Great Depression.

It was the sharp rise in the dollar that led to Protectionism because the politicians did not understand what was taking place. This rise in the dollar was also the reason Roosevelt confiscated gold and raise its value from $20 to $35 to devalue the dollar.

Thereafter, the US had a two-tier monetary system. Gold for international transactions and silver domestically precisely as what took place back in Florence under the Medicis.

Comment:

An interesting insight is that central banks around the world can not defend their currencies by selling U.S. Treasury bonds (as the Japanese Central Bank recently did) because this drives interest rates up in the U.S.A. which strengthens the dollar, thus sanitizing their selling of dollars generated by the said liquidation of Treasury bonds.

Thus interest rates must go much higher outside the USA thus creating a global Great Depression, or the dollar must continue rising. We are heading into a monetary reset and the WW3 that accompanies the Thucydides Trap as the U.S.A. loses its superpower status.

The UK ostensibly decided to raise interest rates by enacting tax cuts without cutting government spending which will force the UK government to issue more bonds than before.

To my Filipino group members please do not be offended by my statements about the Philippines.

The Philippines is a wonderful place for a tourist. Or at least it was and hopefully it will be again.

My issues are my own. I should have had my life more organized and not trapped myself in a foreign place for 3 decades. That was unhealthy for me given my personality type and my significant likes and dislikes. For example I derive a lot of my daily happiness from the climate and the serenity of for example rural California and rural Baja California where I am now. I sacrificed that while in the Philippines to I guess pursue Filipina girls. Some of it was just pure adventure especially at the earlier years. Some of it was running away from issues with my father in the USA.

Then I got mired in it. My fault.

I ruined the beauty of it by turning it into torture by staying too long. I did not appreciate enough the opportunities that were still there in the USA which I flushed down the toilet.

So as much of anything I am expressing disgust with myself, when I express repulsion to what I tortured myself with.

← click the see chart of divergence between oil and U.S. interest rates
(A Major Capitulation Event is Occurring on the Stock Market | This is What Could Trigger a Reversal)

My comment:

Bond markets set interest rates, not the Fed. Rates diverged up as oil declined because the stronger U.S. economy requires a higher level of rates (than abroad) to crush demand, which increases dollar demand. Central banks defending their currencies by selling U.S. bonds, cause U.S. rates to increase nullifying their defense. UK just cut taxes to increase bond issuance to force UK interest rates higher. Thus global demand will collapse and oil will move lower. Too much stimulus checks so U.S. labor has no incentive to work. This severe global recession is eventually likely to lead to war cutting off supply of oil sending it skyrocketing. Meantime EU and UK will increase govt spending on energy subsidies and if this includes increased borrowing, their interest rates should rise providing some defense against the dollar as U.S. rates top out.

This is a vicious cycle leading to economic scorched earth with a soaring dollar and a cratered global economy. Their weakening currencies abroad will exacerbate their domestic inflation thus also help to force their interest rates higher, thus helping to arrest the dollar’s rise for awhile. The UK pound sterling is likely to defend its 1985 1.03 level while the U.S. starts its cycle of peak rates (probably now or in October) and ensuing employment recession by Q1 2023. But the dollar is headed much higher later in 2023+ as economies abroad implode abroad from the egregious stagflation (high interest rates and inflation) although the EU/UK subsidies may kick-the-can for awhile on their ultimately unavoidable, abject collapse into the abyss — thus why our Western leaders need and instigated the WW3 scapegoat. Sterling will later plummet to 89 and then ultimately perhaps 72 by 2026 or 2027.

In summary we have maybe one more respite of risk-on markets from October. But later in 2023 until at least 2026 appears to be an incoming, utter hell. Appears inflation will be sustained as long as possible with WW3 and subsidies to prevent deflation. In which case the vicious cycle of the soaring dollar will persist. Until everything is reduced to ashes and there’s no demand regardless of supply. We are staring down the barrel of Hades.

Comment:

Heading out to the gym. Will be contemplating everything on the drive to/from.

I am in the extreme case contemplating a cyber attack on all our bank accounts to be blamed on Russia might be how they push us onto enslaving central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Maybe this would only be done to NATO countries. But this would make people wary of allowing the government to ban cash. So maybe this will not happen. In any case I think hodling a significant number $100 bills would be important. The dollar would be the last paper currency to be canceled. Remember there are limits to how much paper dollars one can travel on a plane with and across some borders and not have it confiscated by authorities.

Just wondering what is going to cause that -63% flash crash on the S&P that I am expecting later in 2023 or early 2024. I doubt it will be any health care related excuse.

Pondering if even an act of war between NATO and Russia would be enough to crash the markets that much and that fast? The use of a strategic nuclear weapon might do it?

It is quite clear to me that there will be no resistance at all to the CBDCs in Germany, UK and a few other nations in the EU.

The diabolical BlackRock CEO (at a recent globalist conference including Bill Clinton) was asking for a change to the IMF charter to put $trillions of capital into forcing ESG (new green climate crap) down the throat of the developing world. He said the current amount of capital applied there (~$500B) is far insufficient to “uplift” the developing world onto their panopticon plans.

So clearly their plan is to bankrupt and impoverish the developing world also, and then have the IMF stipulate compliance with the Great Reset as a prerequisite for IMF bailouts.

My model is that the rise of Bitcoin (Economist Magazine's Phoenix) will bankrupt their fiat-based, dollar-based capital. Thus I think they will fail to completely onboard every single individual in the developing world onto their panopticon. In other words, the West will experience a massive devaluation and the CBDCs will be most widely adopted in the most failed, socialist Western countries. The CBDCs I think are a failure directed pogrom of self-immolation. I believe in the inexorable trend to maximum entropy. Highly ordered (i.e. centralized) systems are death stars.

How else can I say leave Germany and the UK? Yes to some extent jumping out of the boiling pot into the frying pan. I am also wary of the crap I might deal with if I attempt Perú. I would much rather stay here in Mexico and North America from an efficiency standpoint. Wary that I will bog myself down in crappy Internet connections, noise, theft, and perhaps not even find a suitable gym nearby. It will deplete my focus from what I need to be working on pronto.

Difficult decisions.

I think I will probably be highly skeptical of any intention of living long-term in Perú. I may be forced to visit in order to reunite with someone. But if so I will go into thinking that it will only be a temporary thing. Thus for example only rent a vehicle. If while there I decide I really love it there, then I could adjust my plans.

But I even hate the disruption of needing to go there temporarily. I wish I could find another solution.

OTOH having some experience on the ground in a country south of the equator might come in handy if there is a nuclear holocaust in the northern hemisphere. I doubt I would be heading to Australia. But we can’t do everything. We need to prioritize.

Canada to End Vaccine Mandates

Canada is finally ending the absurd COVID vaccine mandates. No, Trudeau did not come to his senses. The truth of the matter is that the majority of people dying {…who tested positive for flu tests named “COVID”…} are the triple and quadruple vaccinated. In fact, they {i.e. the vagginated} account for 90% of “COVID-related” deaths in the past three months.

There is true mass psychosis surrounding the vaccination. It does not prevent transmission or infection. Despite that being a known fact, politicians are eager to promote the vaccine, along with the media that continues to push boosters on every platform available. People are bringing their babies and elderly loved ones to get the latest vaccine with lines out the door. What happens now when the mask falls and people realize the truth? There are people crying online that it is “too soon” to remove the vaccine requirement. It is cognitive dissonance. They cannot allow their brains to process that they were lied to for years. The vaccine only weakened people’s immune systems and made them more susceptible to {alleged} COVID {bugaboo}.

> “Mexicans will not tolerate any plan that rations their food and needs. ”

Now listen to the following starting at the 5:50 linked juncture:

(Jordan Peterson EXPOSES Bill Gates Nasty Plan)

Essentially the host (not Peterson) points out that Dutch farmers don’t have their blinders on unlike most Westerners. And then he points out that unlike Dutch farmers, Panama’s protestors will go home if bought out with cheap food and cheap gas.

Ah ha! You see that is why BlackRock’s CEO was pointing out they need more funds to effect ESG compliance in the developing world. But as that host points out they are destroying the most efficient farmers in the world. So seems they want to accomplish it in the developing world by making them even more bankrupt and dependent and then manage the resource scarcity by doling them out the subsistence needs the developing world people need to be satiated. And that is why they need private armies to take out those who are awake in the West. They might fail with their private armies in the USA, as too many of us are aware and we are armed to the hilt, although we may lack a Schelling point and they will both pick us off individually and undermine our attempts at political organization (e.g. they will bankrupt Florida and DeSantis). We are waiting for them. Bring it on boys! The 2nd Civil War is going to be interesting. Economic Devastation awaits us in the West.

Jordan Peterson seems to agree with me that they will fail because they will undermine their own capital. But as I pointed out numerous times which Armstrong et al refuse to acknowledge is the key factor is the rise of Bitcoin that will enable the productive capital of the world to offboard from the diabolical W.E.F. insanity and break free from their resource scarcity plan for global domination. Again I posit that some entity behind the curtain is playing the W.E.F. as pawns in their plan for total domination because Bitcoin eventually becomes the biblical Revelation Seven Hills as I previously described.

It is all abundantly clear to me now. And I have informed you all what we need technologically which I must create (asap). My confidence grows that I have the correct interpretation. Now whether the minority needs to unhitch from the majority (as a viable black market) is realistic or whether the dispersed minority is globally actually the surviving majority movement that becomes the sanctioned market is perhaps an issue of timing and actually a self-fulfilling outcome of ameliorating the power vacuum of the collective if it is possible.

The other important take away from this is that the plan of the W.E.F. appears to be to increase poverty and dependence in the developing world. They may succeed for a short-term so expect some rough sailing in the developing world. But ultimately they fail. And thus the developing world may be more suitable for avoiding for example CBDC enslavement plans, if one can insulate themselves from the effects of intensification of poverty.

In the developed Western world we face the problem that the majority still have their blinders on but the minority is an egregious threat to the diabolical plan and they they will be coming after us out of desperation for it us or them. As I said many of those who are aware are now seething and reading to hang the W.E.F. leaders and sycophants from lamp posts.

Thus I expect them to forcefully push the CBDCs in the West as there will be significant uptake given how addicted Westerners are to their collapsing, debt bubble affluence.

I did too. But I was never much into watching racing. I think the Americans wanted a track where V8 torque and violence would be employed. So they like seeing the Nascars pile up around the curves and then jockey for acceleration into the straight portion. It looks more like football in the curves. The tail gate partying in the parking lot is a carbon copy of what is done before football games.

> “Could be, though that might be a bit of a stretch. I can see it could be connected to a self-reliant pioneer spirit.”

No it really is. Americans want to be perceived as tough, that is why they are so gung ho about their military for example.

> “though there are a growing number of seethers this side of the pond”

Verbally only of course. And with proper decorum. Because form matters more than function. Same as in the British vehicles.

> “I’ve always found much of American culture appealing, also the tendency to be generally more open and less self-conscious.”

Americans are prioritized on action and outcomes. The Gadsden Flag among us cut through the civility BS and go directly to deeds. This is significantly a Southern culture although Southerns are also very respectful of others (a form of civility on the personal, familiar level, but not a form over function effect). And note those Americans who think they are more civilized and sophisticated (especially institutionalized and statist) hate that what they perceive to be backwards Southern culture. That is one reason they hate Trump. They also think football and Nascar racing is inane.

Note of course we have a significant number (even a super majority) of Americans with more of a British-civility-over-function, Euro-socialist-statist and other non-Gadsden Flag oriented cultures. Which is why the country appears to be splitting in two as the debt-financed model for keeping us united is exhausted. The Gadsden Flag is a symbol of the South even though it was conceived during the Revolutionary War — just look at the Wikipedia map of which States still prominently display it.

And note the military gung ho orientation of Southerners is being deceived right now as they are lied to about who intentionally instigated and is intentionally perpetuating the war in Ukraine. So even our Gadsden Flay archetype are being undermined by their ignorance.

> “Perhaps less so than a couple of decades ago, as we now share so much of your culture, so there is less perceived distance.”

Comment:

I decided to make one final update on October 1, 2022.

There was a time when I thought building consensus and getting along with others was virtuous. I was so naive.

The virtue is in making it impossible for the consensus to f-ck with those who want meritocracy.

I am basically in tune with Mircea’s conclusion except I don’t see how a winner-take-all competition which Bitcoin perpetuates, is congruent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics that entropy trends to maximum inexorably. Such winner-take-all outcomes are a black hole (which I have often stated as only the most ruthless can capture and hold the power vacuum of the collective), i.e. the winner strangles everything (totally ordered, zero entropy) thus wins nothing (no light/information can exist). Maybe the cyclical nature of the universe can’t operate any other way than by cycles of consensus and dark ages, but I seek instead to find a way to be invisible from the herd and to make the 50+% attack that exists in proof-of-work ineffectual in my alternative formulation of a block chain protocol. I don’t know if either is more correct than the other. Two different approaches to the problem.

I am not going to waste my time with anyone.

I will not give another person an opportunity to interact with me, except on a need to basis, i.e. if they come bearing gifts I need.

The problem as I see it though is, judging from the comments, that the majority of people do not have a clue what's actually happening at the moment. They blithely think ( or don't it would appear) that they are going to be able to continue to have cash in their pocket when in actual fact their bank account will be run by the government. Any slight demeanor such as eating incorrct foods such as meat, and your assets are frozen, no cash, no food , no petrol. I really despair that the sheep will never wake up.

Neocons – Climate Zealots – Ukrainian Neo-Nazis

QUESTION: Martin, I am now becoming confused as to who or what is the instigator of the major global war that is transpiring. You have made the point that the Climate Change Zealots and their claims to end fossil fuels are the cause for inciting WW III. However, you have also made claims that the Neocons in the Deep State and their hatred of Russia are the instigators of this same conflict. Are these two forces one and the same or are they two different factions fighting for the same outcome?

ANSWER: John McCain, who was the leader of the pack of Neocons, was promoting Nuclear Power for climate change to end the US dependence on oil and that of Europe. McCain used climate change to cut off Russia whose 50% of GDP was energy. Thus, McCain could care less about the climate. He used it as a weapon against Russia.

{…}

What we have is the Climate Zealots who want to end all fossil fuels, where their goals support the Neocons who want to annihilate their enemies – Russia and China.

{The Nordstream pipeline was destroyed by the powers-that-be, because the Europeans were protesting the sanctions against Russia and Putin was willing to turn the gas back on and negotiate. Our powers-that-be want WW3 for various reasons.}

The waters are now polluted and the impact on fishing will be considerable. This was not the brainchild of the Climate Zealots yet it sparks a few champaign toasts in celebration. Russia has come out and said that the slaughter of civilians in Bucha was fake and propaganda. Based upon information and belief, this was also a staged event by the [Zelenskyy’s, i.e. Ukrainian} Neo-Nazis. There are even videos confirming that which are in the possession of NATO. It does not end there. The Neo-Nazis shot down the Malaysian Flight M17 using an old BUK Russian missile that was no longer in use in an effort to get the US to send in troops claiming it came from the Donbas. The Neo-Nazis are really willing to do anything to quench their thirst for the hatred of Russians.

The 2014 Massacre of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Odessa where they killed them grabbing them on the streets was a Neo-Nazi event. That was the turning point. It revealed that the Donbas had to separate for the Neo-Nazis wanted their death, not their submission. That began the civil war. They set fire to the building and burned all the Russian-speaking Ukrainians alive. For the first time in history, an organized massacre of civilians was carried out and even filmed by numerous people. This has been documented in extraordinary detail and the Neo-Nazis did not even fear of any negative consequences in world opinion.

The Neo-Nazis have manipulated the news to foster hatred of all Russians. You see it in forums like on eBay how can any Russian be allowed to sell anything? This is the same hatred that Hitler inspired against the Jews. You constantly demonize a group and it works. I personally knew people there in Kyiv during Maidan. I also know people personally from Donetsk. You could never bring a simple bottle of Russian vodka to dinner in Kyiv – that was an insult.

Most have no understanding of the hatred in that entire region. It was a Serb who assassinated the Archduke in 1914 and that single act resulted in the death of about 7% of the entire world population during World War I. Those spouting out the hatred of Putin are simply brainwashed and they better turn and look at your family for there are always more civilians who die in these large-scale wars than soldiers.

Comment:

It’s very interesting what is going on in Chile. If you watch all the way to the end, it becomes apparent to me at least that Chile is trying to find a reasonable balance between government and a center left coalition, rejecting radical leftist precepts. The problem is how to distribute the balance-of-power through a representative government. There is no way to please everyone. And the government is never trusted anyway.

What is so interesting to me is that they are ripe for a direct democracy on a block chain. It will be interesting to observe what transpires. South America is dynamic and on the move, unlike SE Asia which is still stuck in their cultural respect for authority. I prefer to be in a dynamic situation no matter the outcome. I felt so intellectually dead in the Philippines.

Biden’s illegal attempt to pump additional stimulus into the U.S. economy by forgiving student debt to further stoke price inflation, might be overruled. This Kansas State attorney general makes several valid points about the unfairness of forgiving student debt given that others made sacrifices and should not have to pay the additional taxes to fund this. For examples those who worked simultaneously (as I did!) to pay their tuition. Or those who signed up for the military which funded their university education.

> “Now insofar as the sovereign debt default, we are looking at governments collapsing which will take down banks that must retain reserves in government bonds.”

Astute! That is a very important observation. The banks can not survive as they are forced to hold as Tier 1 capital by B.I.S. regulations. So unless bond interest rates top out then banks will continue bleeding. Are U.S. interest rates topping out for the meantime given the bearish RSI divergences on the monthly and weekly time frames for yields on the 2Y Treasury bond? Just imagine what happens when the B.I.S. designates legacy protocol Bitcoin as Tier 1 capital after WW3. Then the 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix will be entirely fulfilled. 😉

> “Schwab’s idea {“you will own nothing and be happy”} will fail because the setup is different this time. Marxism succeeded because in Russia serfdom ended only during the 1860s. Therefore, the common people DID NOT own anything and it made sense to raid the rich. This time, people own houses and cars, and they save with pensions and to help their children. This time the common people would have to surrender all their assets so Schwab’s Marxist theories can be implemented.”

Is Armstrong logical? If the plan is that people do not give up their assets but are instead allowed to use them in return for a percentage of their income being garnished automatically by the CBDC then why would Westerners resist when their alternative is starving in the dark? Armstrong seems to ignore how indebted Westerners are and that they will have no choice but to lose their assets or agree to Schwab’s offer. Florida thought it was going to be independent but look they now have lost all availability of home insurance, because the Federal government was preventing insurers from charging market prices. Florida doesn’t have its own sovereign currency and bond market. Florida will be taken down economically with the Minsky Moment just the same as California and Seattle. The real estate boom in Florida will make the bust all the much worse. It is 1929 all over again.

(Andrew Tate Explains Why Men Should NEVER Get Married | Valuetainment Money)

Comment:

When war shuts off supply chains (e.g. Strait of Hormuz, the Suez canal and/or SE Asia first island chain blockade), then there will be both price inflation and economic collapse, unless the Fed does Q.E. to finance Congress’ inevitable war machine spending to uphold the economy. Which as in WW2 also involved forced rationing to contain price inflation and conserve resources for the war machine.

Unlike after the speculative bubble ending in 1929 driven by capital flight into the dollar (after WW1) where the Great Depression of the 1930s preceded and precipitated WW2, it appears that WW3 will occur simultaneous to the current capital flight into the dollar. So now for the first time the dollar has been strong simultaneous with rising interest rates. But during WW3 the Fed Q.E. brought interest rates down despite the rising CPI from 1940 to 1942 and high CPI persisting until 1944. The DJIA didn’t start rising (after the decline from the rebound out of the 1929 crash) until CPI had peaked in 1942.

FDR had to untether the dollar from gold domestically to finance WW2 and get the world out of a depression by creating a NWO that persisted until Nixon absolved Breton Woods by defaulting on the dollar-to-gold peg internationally.

The non-NATO world must now untether from the paper dollar to finance WW3 against the dollar peg (i.e. global reserve currency) system. The Fed will have to finance the dollar-peg side of WW3.

There isn’t likely to be a -85% speculative bubble driven market crash now as was the case for the DJIA after 1929. Rather the flash crashes (expecting -63% on the S&P) will be caused by black swan events created by the W.E.F.. The next one is likely to be some forced lockdown of the banking system, perhaps to be blamed on a “Russian” cyber or tactical nuclear attack (e.g. creating cascading disruption of electrical grid). The Fed’s Q.E. will be turned into Schwab’s enslavement system where to receive your rations you must register for the CBDC so you can be dolled out your share of the government’s fiscal stimulus. We are unlikely to even have a 2024 POTUS election, so the Federal government will operating rogue anyway but nobody will be able to do anything about it because we will all (in the U.S.) be bankrupted without the Fed’s handouts.

After the posited incoming final attempt for an ATH in 2023, I think it is time to sell the stock markets and run away for at least a decade. The W.E.F. plan is to strangle the Western consumer economies with forced rationing via CBDCs (e.g. as a first indoctrination step only subsidizing a portion of their egregious electricity bills this winter in Europe) and blame it on WW3. The only speculative future may be legacy protocol Bitcoin (and to a lesser extent gold) as they rise as the alternative to the dying dollar-peg system and the inadequate Russia-Chinese alliance monetary system.

The other investments that may prosper will be anything in demand during war under a rationing regime enforced with draconian centralized central bank digital currency (CBDC) accounts. Even the price of oil fell during WW2 (← chart on the W.E.F. forum) because ostensibly consumer demand was low.

Central Bank QE

Q: Will QE continue if we end up in war? It seems there would be no choice.

A: Yes. The Fed was “directed” by the White House to carry out QE during World War II {…} As the war unfolds in Europe, the capital will flee as usual to the States. But the money supply will have to increase because the dollar will become the only viable currency still standing {…} The Fed has been raising rates to fight inflation that will fail because this has to do with shortages – not speculation {…} That said, the Fed is faced with a triple crisis – liquidity, banking stability, and an inevitable Sovereign Debt Crisis. As interest rates have risen based on domestic inflation rates, simultaneously, the higher rates have undermined both European banks as well as Emerging Markets. The Federal Reserve has become the DEFACTO central bank of the world.

Comment:

> “The non-NATO world must now untether from the paper {i.e. unanchored, fiat} dollar to finance WW3 against the dollar peg (i.e. global reserve currency) system.”

We are in the Thucydides trap. The powers-that-be are intentionally discrediting the dollar reserve currency system as they will create the conditions that usher in their legacy protocol Bitcoin as Rothschild’s 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix rising from the ashes as predicted and planned out 33 years ago by our overlords deep behind that curtain that Armstrong can’t even access (no Margaret Thatcher had no access to this deeply hidden cabal).

The entire world will be driven to hate the current dollar-based system. The W.E.F. is being set up as scapegoats in the end, but that will not come soon enough to escape our enslavement in the Great Reset plan.

The world is moving to a new two-tier monetary system (like the one during Breton Woods where gold was not money domestically but was internationally until Nixon abrogated) with legacy protocol Bitcoin as the international tier (per famed mathematician John Nash’s Ideal Money proposal published on JStor) and domestically we will all be banned from transacting in Bitcoin and instead enslaved on fully centralized, draconian 666-like CBDCs. Welcome to the next NWO after Breton Woods.

The World is Pointing Fingers at the US for Attacking Nord Stream

Even Jeffrey David Sachs, an American economist, has come out and said on TV, as the journalists go nuts, that the US destroyed Nord Stream. Everyone I have spoken to from around the world, including high levels, all believes the US did this and I know there is a think tank that has recommended the US now take out the South Stream through Turkey. This was a formal act of war. Russia sees it that way, as does most of the world. This is an attempt to destroy the economy of Russia where energy accounts for 50% of its GDP.

Armstrong should look at his own timeline for the demise of the U.S. into the Madmax abyss by 2085. Note on Armstrong’s chart that April 22, 2013 was when Snowden made his final irreversible move to leak.

Comment:

So Armstrong is clarifying in his private blog that there’s also a Panic Cycle in third week of November for NatGas. So presumably this is what leads him to believe that the Panic Cycle in the Euro in the second week of November will be to downside. Presumably those who sniff the posited coming attack on the pipelines in the Black Sea (he points out an intelligence report has recommended blowing these up to cut off Russian NatGas revenue) would dump the Euro in advance.

It makes sense that the Biden administration may want to create a distraction after the mid-term elections on November 8 if they will be significantly rigging the elections (especially for the Senate). One could speculate that they hope to establish some war time executive powers almost like martial law, perhaps to intimidate or imprison those who might be vocal about the election outcome.

Also note that Direction Change on Oct 10. Looks like I am correct about a rally in the stock markets and crypto starting in October.

Okay so there is a panic selloff in the Euro in November and NatGas spikes. But that hardly affects the U.S. price inflation situation. The E.U. would need to stimulate more thus further increasing their price inflation to compensate for the weakening Euro. They will not opt for the central bank monetizing ZIRP because hyperinflationary collapse would be antithetical to Klaus Schwab’s plan to trade debt forgiveness for servitude via CBDC enforcement. Read Think Like a Bankster. Hyperinflation never occurs where the citizens hold many valuable assets and large debts, because it would make it trivial to pay off debts.

So it seems the effect would most economic enslavement of Europe while the Euro would climb back up from 89 and the U.S. stock market rally would continue into Q1 2023 perhaps have a respite.

I still do not know why Armstrong thinks this potential action in November is the end game of WW3. It is only another salvo. The real hostilities will not break out until later in 2023. Russia is still mobilizing and such. And as Armstrong says the pressure on Putin to take the side of the hardliners has to reach the boiling point in Russia. I do not think Putin is so politically weak that they can overthrow him in the instant the Black Sea pipelines are blown up because surely at that point Putin will start to make contingent promises of lines-in-the-sand to the hard liners.

Comment:

Typo: perhaps AFTER a respite.

Add: The key is to keep the price inflation above the level of bond interest rates to bankrupt everyone.

Comment:

ADD: another key point is that if these gas pipelines are destroyed anonymously then Russia can not declare war on the U.S.A. directly without being painted by the International Community as the instigators of WW3. I suspect Putin would attempt to take some action in Lithuania and claim he is operating only secure his contracts for free passage there? Or more likely he could escalate in Ukraine (which is not NATO) to attempt to force the West to become entwined such that he able to justify direct nuke retaliation against the West? You see it is really difficult for this to escalate to a direct attack on NATO immediately. So what changes in November for the U.S. interest rates and price inflation? Nothing maybe.

Comment:

The world is going to hate the USA or at least distrust it after the truth about how we instigated WW3, committed genocide in Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc, blew up pipelines to squeeze/freeze/starve Europe and helped to starve and murder 100 millions of people comes to light over the coming years.

1. COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.

2. Fourth Industrial Revolution technology breakthroughs – Advances in emerging technologies like AI, blockchain and digitization can enable tracking personal carbon emissions, raise awareness and also provide individual advisories on lower carbon and ethical choices for consumption of product and services. {they going to track everything we do on a blockchain via CBDCs}

3. Raised awareness and ownership for nature and environment – In the last few years, there is an increased awareness and public concern on climate change and specially among youth. The UNDP’s “Peoples’ Climate Vote” reflects that over 64% of people believe climate change is a global emergency. A new Pew Research Center survey in 17 advanced economies found widespread concern about the personal impact of global climate change: 80% of citizens say they are willing to change how they live and work to combat the effects of climate change. Young adults, who have been at the forefront of some of the most prominent climate change protests in recent years, are more concerned than their older counterparts about the personal impact of a warming planet in many public surveys.

Tbh, with a decrease in population and decrease in carbon emissions, it makes the whole carbon credit thing useless. If credits are destroyed when spent, then there's technically no value, and it's all a means of control. There is a way to fight back, albeit limited. Regardless, I'm of the assumption that less people = less products to sell. If the value of the credit increases, but say emissions go down, more trees grow, and there's less people: people could opt to live in the wilderness”

@Joseph Stalin industrialization increases emissions. The developing world have very low per capita emissions. Now rework your logic correctly. This is mainly targeted at the West initially as a way for the large corporations to fleece and cash out.

People such as Martin Armstrong who can’t work out in their mind the long-range plan think the plan will have failed after the West implodes. Nope.

Comment:

Btw, I saw that Martin Armstrong on the W.E.F. website many months or maybe it was a year ago. Martin is just finding out about it now.

The NWO can be a one where the West is entirely under the grip of Klaus Schwab, George Soros and Bill Gates who turn it into a nightmare. It does not mean that those guys have to control the Non-Aligned Movement countries.

The NWO can be one where legacy protocol Bitcoin rises to be the de facto reserve currency, since nobody will entirely trust the ruble nor the yuan.

The Carbon Credits crap could be employed to self-immolate the West only, so Martin better not start gloating about how his nemesis Klaus Schwab failed. If the West is torched then I do not consider that a failure. It will create the pretext for the next stage of the multi-decennial march to Revelation. The world is being remade now with the Thucydides trap underway. That has historically been a brutal transformation. Also there’s real possibility of Klaus’ success in terms of Westerners being onboarded to 666-like CBDCs, UBI and having their debts forgiven in exchange for agreeing to give up their right to private property ownership. Klaus has already succeeded. The rich have gotten much richer durig their pLandemic hoax while the freedom in the West was eviscerated and election integrity lost forevermore. They have ended democracy, globalization and prepare to fleece the West. How is that a failure? What is Armstrong smoking?

Sit back and observe.

“I see international war unfolding, probably post-2024 into 2028. I do not see Schwab’s dream of a New World Order and this one-world economy ever coming off. He will try, no doubt. But we are looking at the collapse of sovereign government debt starting in Europe.”

@Coin Bureau apparently this Carbon Credits crap is mostly going to affect the industrialized Western nations because credits will be awarded according to population and the West has by far the highest per capita carbon emissions.

Comment:

Just because carbon credits won’t make surrogates useful, doesn’t mean that surrogates won’t be critically important against other plans our evil masters have for us. Don’t delude yourself into thinking Bill Gates and Big Pharma finished with vaccine mandates. They’re likely waiting until they have people dependent on the 666-like centralized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) slated to be rolled out in the Western countries by 2024 or 2025. The incoming economic implosion exacerbated by their intentional WW3 will force so many Westerners onto UBI stipends doled out via CBDC.

This Carbon Credits concept shouldn’t have any adverse effect on developing countries in the foreseeable future. They have a dearth of industrialization per capita. And Carbon Credits aren’t an excuse for locking people inside their homes, until they get to the extreme that exhaling CO₂ is accounted for and walking increases the rate of breathing.

The Carbon Credits thing seems to be a way for the Non-Aligned Movement developing world to take more capital out of the industrialized world. It appears to be weaponized against the West:

China was willing to make binding commitments to limited greenhouse gases in 2020 if they appropriately took into account historical contributions of greenhouse gases by developed countries such as the United States and European states and sustainable economic needs of developing countries such as China and India

Any government or other regulating body willing to limit the carbon dioxide emissions can issue Carbon Credits

=====

Essentially the Western capitalist and large corporations have sold out on the people, because they know we’ve reached the Minsky Moment. So they want to destroy their competition in the West and consolidate while having the government monetize UBI for the basic level of sustenance the population needs and have this siphoned to them via these mechanism. They can invest in the developing world for growth.

They won’t hyperinflate away our debts, instead just enough monetization and distributed to the poorest, so that price inflation remains above interest rates with interest rates increasing to ~6+% in the coming years in the U.S.. In this way they will squeeze Westerners and no traditional investments will prosper (more like a yoyo going no where for a decade). This will make carbon credits as an investment relatively more attractive as well in the West. Astute investors will capitalize on the demise of the West.

Another way of looking at this is as I said the Industrial Age is dying. So this is a transfer of capital from Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age. So again all signs point to investing my time in software development, not the activities I have been doing. In the West at least it forces deindustrialization or at least a transition to highest profit margins industry.

Westerners can’t resist this fascism because we have no economically viable alternative path to prosperity because we’re floating on a mountain collapsing debt. If the economy were allowed to implode naturally then we could compete again globally, but by handing out stipends our competitiveness, dependence and investments decline while prices, interest rates, economic decline and taxes (in all forms including carbon credit costs) increase. Not likely even the younger generation will vote for an elimination of their stipends when they take political control in the West circa ~2032. The West is stuck in a regime of paralysis and I can’t envision any Schelling point to overthrow it.

Just in case convert your petrol vehicle to E85 as surely the carbon credits will be assessed at the gas pump. They might make it illegal to run E85 so then you modify your gas tank to have a secret smaller partition for holding some petrol when they test along the roadway:

Comment:

This carbon credit system for individuals they will unleash on the world is so very clever in the most diabolical way. It won’t help to have surrogates as the identity of the person spending the credit does not matter — it only matters you have the credits you need when you want to buy something.

Also it will be self-enforcing because you have only have to demand that the upstream choke points provide the credits they need to move goods & service to market. They in turn will require the downstream distribution points to collect the credits they must pay. For a while some of them may subsidize these credits while they are still very cheap. Gradually they can’t afford to do so anymore so more and more goods & services start demanding the credits from the end user.

The credits will be hoarded by astute investors because they continuously skyrocket in value. The more they are hoarded by investors, the less will be available to people who need them.

The mofos are constructing a world of artificial scarcity. The Ministry of Truth will point deer, declare it to be a horse and we will all agree it is a horse. The shortages will be blamed of human climate change which will all agree on less our 666 number be switched off.

Comment:

The globalists who control this entire world will make a new system of carbon credits. They say we must not consume carbon because they say humans change the climate in a bad outcome. But this is a lie. The climate is controlled by the sunspot activity. Humans only impact our local environment. We humans have no impact on the climate.

Their plan is to use the carbon credit system to slowly impoverish us and eventually starve us to death over many years or maybe a couple of decades. Those who want to eat meat or drive their car will need to purchase carbon credits. But these credits will always be going up in price. Eventually the poor will not be able to avoid them and they will not be allowed to buy anything.

They will control what we can buy by forcing us to use a digital money in our mobile phone. Nobody will be allowed to accept paper money. The government will make paper money illegal.

They intended to reduce the human population from 8000 million to 500 million. That means 15 out of every 16 people must starve to death. THIS IS INSANE. BUT THE PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW AS THEY FOLLOWED FOR COVID. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT AND WILL BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO BELIEVE. IT WILL DEVELOP SLOWLY AT FIRST AND PEOPLE WILL NOT RESIST UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE TO RESIST ANYMORE.

Remember if you want to be successful with a lie then make it a lie so big and ridiculous that nobody will believe it's a lie. This is what they did with COVID also. Sheepeople 🐑 will believe that shit.

Comment:

U.K. has legislation already enacted since 2008 which enables them to institute at-will a carbon credits scheme on individuals enforced with central bank digital currencies and social credit score (aka ESG) system. There is no need to seek any additional legislation. Can be rolled out whenever our enslavers are ready.

The entire ESG criteria is monopolization of the economy, because small competitors can’t fulfill the requirements. Also the criteria is often arbitrary. This enables these corporations to continue to grow even though the West is in demographic decline. The theory is that the growing developing world (or just profitable individuals within the West) will trade for carbon credit. The powers-that-be will reduce the carbon credits supply thus the value of the scarce credits will increase. Tesla already makes more profits on carbon credits than its vehicles.

If you use up your carbon credits (i.e. eat too much meat or drive too much), then you will need to purchase more carbon credits. So the carbon credits are like a tax that makes the poor poorer and the rich richer.

Also a declining population will reduce the supply of carbon credits even further. Thus it will be a race to the bottom to meet Ted Turner’s Georgia Guidestones’ “500 million global population living in harmony with nature.”

THIS IS FUCKING INSANE AND HORRIFIC.

I wonder if the developing world can be fooled into embracing this shit? They sure did go along with the COVID hoax, so I am not optimistic. China used the COVID hoax to manipulate its own people.

> @Coin Bureau How does a decrease in population = increase in carbon credit value? Less people means less demand, which would mean less products sold. supply and demand and capitalism doesn't really work with a small population. People will just refuse in future

@Joseph Stalin carbon credits will be minted per the number of people. Less people means less minting. The credits are destroyed when spent. But the supply of resources on the planet is not decreasing. Thus the value of the unspent tokens skyrockets. How can anyone push back when they will turn off your number and you can not eat? Who will you push back against when the million person strong enforcement arm (87,000 new armed IRS agents first stage) is there to fight you?

China is using COVID as the scapegoat for their collapsing economy. Because historicallly Chinese leaders are overthrown if the economy drags down and out for too long. Chinese judge politicians retrospectively by their outcomes (they love data but statistics can also deceive), not at promises — the antithesis of the Western political mindset which is forward looking and hopium-delusion based. So some percentage of the people see the government doing something claimed to be good, such as lock downs and widespread PCR testing. This is also viewed as a form of discipline which Asians admire. So this distracts the mind of the politik from the economic downturn. This is also why China needs WW3 as a scapegoat. And the West needs these scapegoats also for the same reasons. The global debt bubble is at the Minsky Moment. And so now we move into the Thucydides Trap as the U.S. vacates its former superpower status.

@Lysergicaciddiethylamideaddict the U.S. economy can not break down catastrophically for as long as the government cum Fed can print more dollars and the world is willing to eat those dollars.

COMMENT From Germany: Dear Marty,
there was a sabotage act on the German railroad company „Deutsche Bahn“. Two cables in different locations were cut on Saturday morning (October 8th, 2022). Result: No trains were moving in all of northern Germany. This must have been accomplished by someone highly sophisticated and with insider knowledge. First, someone blew up Nordstream 1 and 2 pipelines, now someone sabotages Deutsche Bahn. Are we (Germany) already in a war?
Kind regards from Germany,

New World Order v Status Quo by Martin Armstrong

Armstrong doesn't correctly conceptualize power vacuums and human behavior in collective society with group size in excess of our ~150 person Dunbar limit. Humans are primates thus will never escape from a Planet of the Apes. Any collective larger than ~160 persons requires a police force, because the group can't keep tabs on everyone:

Anonimity or the Urban Versus Rural Dispute | Trilema.com

(Oxford University's Professor of Evolutionary Psychology Robin Dunbar Discusses Many Things | Dr Edward Dutton)

Most saliently Armstrong's category error (i.e. #NotEvenWrong) started with for example claiming that Westerners won't embrace Communism because we have private property unlike the serfs in 1917 enticed with the leftist holiness spiral of wealth redistribution.

But as we clearly observe in present day outcomes that holiness spirals aren't limited to any one paradigm of misperceived injustice. Mass psychosis only requires the means of the most powerful weapon ever invented: propaganda.

The printing press is mightier than the sword. Holiness bonding to an in-group of misperceived righteousness trumps intellect. Liberalism and the (Un)Enlightenment appealed to soi-disant “reason,” but predictably devolved to “point deer, make horse.” Pointed at sunspot induced climate change, make it anthropogenic induced.

The Genetics of Intelligence | Trilema.com

More specifically the reason that the NWO will be global and nobody will escape from it, is because of this f-ing device I'm typing on.

Never before in the history of human civilization has there existed the power to beam addictive, psychological programming directly in the impressionable minds of every freakin human on the planet.

And that's a power vacuum. And power vacuums can only be captured by the most ruthless:

Marty GAFC please.

For example both Demonrats and MAGAtards share COVIDIOT and Pootin derangement syndrome mass psychoses because it was programmed into their minds by CNN and Fox News. As well their inane blue vs. red team memebot beliefs were also programmed.

Martin will retort within his mind that there will be separatism and factionalism because people have different cultures and beliefs but although true that's also facilitates divide-and-conquer of us all with the mass psychoses we all share. Additionally the global Internet is creating a virtual global village that subsumes any physical secession in terms of ideological and economic assimilation. Global politics is in the process of subsuming parochial politics.

There's no resistance nor plausible physical frontier possible when mass psychosis can be directly programmed into every human mind. The only frontier remaining will be realms that the zombie masses don't even know exist, e.g. invisible virtual networks via anonymizing cryptography and steganography.

It's not possible to turn back the clock on technology. We have no choice but to accept that the vast majority will self-immolate over the coming decades in a self-destructive 1984 NWO. They will ultimately devolve themselves to a global dark age, madmax Planet of the Apes.

Did you invent a yet unnamed harmonic pattern? The only applicable pattern I know is the Shark pattern. Which would project ~4800 – 4920 at any time. Also the bottom would be up to ~30 points lower. I could envision ~4800 by March/April, a summer correction to ~4200 followed by a rally to ~4800 – 4920 the remainder of 2023. Then an egregious -63% flash crash in 2024 mimicking the pLandemic amplified by 1.75×. Martin Armstrong’s Socrates A.I. Yearly Forecast Array for the S&P has a Direction Change in 2024 and again in 2025. He asserts I think correctly that there can’t be a -90% crash as was the case in the Great Depression because that required a multi-year, deflationary shift to Treasury bonds. Whereas at this time with global stagflation there’s been a flight from U.S. Treasury bonds because interest rates have been rising and are projected to rise to ~6+% into 2026/7. Armstrong is ostensibly only focused on the Aggregate row of said Forecast array which only exhibits a decline for 2022. He might be ignoring those Direction Changes and the Monthly Forecast arrays might exhibit some Panic Cycles for the posited -63% crash. Armstrong’s reasoning is correct in that the only way for the powers-that-be to manufacture deep crashes on the S&P is to create some kind of egregious “black swan” (actually false-flags) event which creates a temporary stampede to the safety of bonds. I posit that the launch of a nuclear weapon might do it?

So i hope for them to repent, which doesnt mean i should subjugate to them, quite the opposite is required to be the witness of Truth.”

@Skavi Hekkora these globalists are not humans. They are psychopaths akin to but much more megadeath capable than the cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer. But it’s not any specific person that is judging them. When God directs a man in a fit of rage to take their life then God has judged them as the Bible instructs us to let God pass the final judgement. No I don’t think they are humans. They w(h)or(e)ship Satan and the Great Harlot. They will be cast into the pit of eternal fire and never receive a single drop of water on their searing tongue. Look at all the suffering they have caused. How can you conflate Satan’s beasts with God’s children? God’s children sin but they feel very guilty and repent. Satan’s beasts get aroused by human suffering. According to Roseanne Barr, they even ejaculate while watching films of entire African villages being slaughtered.

@Skavi Hekkora as for the politicians, some of them are not Satanists but just opportunists and trapped by kompromat. And ditto the many humantards that become trapped in the mass psychoses, debt-based materialism and other sins. All these humans simply need to be punished by being cast out of a society of mindful humans who employ their brain stems properly. They need to suffer in their own toilet mindsets so they can learn. We should not be mingled amongst them so that they will not force their self-immolation societalcide on us. Even the Bible (e.g. in John) instructs us that we are not of this world and to come out from them.

@Skavi Hekkora I pity Jeffrey Dahmer. He knows what he was doing was wrong. His mind was warped by his childhood and he developed Necrophilia. He did not worship Satan. His beyond-heinous crimes are revolting and sad but he is one of God’s children in my opinion. But only God knows. I share your bleeding heart but I’m also a man capable of violence as God made me. The commandment is that thou shall not murder. Killing is sometimes necessary such as in self-defense. I agree that harboring hatred is counter productive. But we need to be careful that as Christians we do not enable evil by conflating love and self-defense.

> “agreed. i think most people would rather die with their liberty than live subjugated. they will not win.”

@Kai Buchan unfortunately they will win because the vast majority (e.g. of both Demonrats and MAGAtards) have been hoodwinked into mass psychoses such as the covidiocy and Pootin derangement syndrome. You see what changed is these mobile idiot boxes every human of the planet is glued to. Propaganda can beamed directly into their pliable minds with addictive programming. Much more effective than radio and TV were, and can be globally directed by Soros et al. Why do you think all major social media is onboard the political correctness and moving the Overton window further away from the center. More than 60% of the population are now zombies who can’t think clearly nor for themselves.

Communities larger than that require a police force because not everyone can keep tabs on everyone. Humans can’t entirely escape from our limitations as primates, at least not in the physical, tangible realm of statism. We can aspire to the spiritual and knowledge realms where the deleterious effects of statism don’t reach.

Comment:

I’m trying to develop a historically consistent model of the current monetary reset and incoming WW3. I had been hoping for Armstrong to lead the way to comprehensive understanding but he has not yet articulated a coherent, holistic model. Let’s see if I can assist.

1. Deflation is not possible until the reserve currency of the world is not held by the strongest economy. Deflation was possible after 1929 because although capital was fleeing to the U.S. because it had the safest economy outside of any warzone (nearly impossible to attack the U.S. except with nukes) but the U.S. dollar was not yet the world’s reserve currency. Thus sovereign bonds will be a very poor investment (other than any flash crash in markets due to black swan event) because interest rates must rise abroad else their currencies implode (driving price inflation to the moon) cratering their economies. The periphery nations (i.e. not the U.S.) must either borrow-and-spend to avoid the implosion that high interest rates and/or imploding currencies will impose. Or for the Non-Aligned Movement nations dehitch from the dollar and grow their way out (which the geriatric boomer bulge demographics cum socialist, unfunded retirement liabilities in the developed world can not do). And ultimately some countries will even default on their sovereign bonds. (Tangentially: Either Americans stop Brandon’s intentional forcing of Russia to nuclear war, or Russia, China, N. Korea and Iran will eventually have no choice but to desperately and fatalistically break the U.S.S.A. and all of NATO with nukes)

2. The turn of the 20th century was the transfer of the Anglo-Saxon empire to the U.S. from Europe. The 1970s was the rise of egregious demand for resources as the global boomers demographic bulge entered the workforce and prime spending years. First there was stagflation as the resource intensive countries (e.g. Russia, Iran, OPEC) asserted their pricing power under the scapegoat of the U.S. support for Israel. But then interest rates rose to nosebleed levels in the early 1980s which caused for example the former Soviet Union to collapse which broke the solidarity of the resource intensive countries. This consequent cheap labor and cheap resources peace dividend is what fed the Western debt bubble since. But that peace dividend and that form of globalization has come to an abrupt end, because the global debt bubble reached the Minsky Moment and the now we have another demographic bulge (in the developing countries) entering the work force and prime spending years competing for resources. The developed world is being intentionally thrown to the dogs because there’s no plausible economic future. The Thucydides Trap is underway and will result in the end of the U.S. dollar reserve currency and Anglo-Saxon empire. Also will maybe end up as Deagel.com predicted back in ~2014 that NATO countries will lose 50 – 75% of their populations to self-immolating economic collapse, war and pestilence (aka societalcide). I’m thinking possibly widespread radiation sickness from nuclear war. Note Carl Sagan’s nuclear winter hypothesis is probably nonsense. And south of the equator would be spared of radiation fallout as the jet streams don’t cross it.

Comment:

Thus, we are in the Austrian Crack-up Boom. The developed world nation-states have no choice but to enslave themselves in borrow-and-spend with their central banks self-immolating by buying all the sovereign debt. At the end the developed world central banks will hold all of it.

Imagine as interest rates rise the pension funds who were required to hold bonds at near zero interest rates will blow up. The (at least E.U.) banking system will blow up (which is a reason the W.E.F. is promulgating an incoming cyber attack on the banks as a scapegoat). The consumer will blow up. The Bank of England, Bank of Japan and Bank of Australia already pivoted, as well the governments already piling on subsidies and soon more bailouts. The individual E.U. nations with their sovereign bonds issued in Euros are next to pivot to this along with the ECB. The last to pivot will be the U.S.S.A. as our economy also can’t withstand these high interest rates. Are you picking up what I am throwing down? The developed world nations will stimulate into stagflation and will not tolerate a -95% stock market meltdown and deflation.

Yet this stagflation environment is also putting enormous economic and thus internal political pressure on Russia, China, N.Korea, Iran — all of the Non-Aligned Movement nations. Thus the world bifurcates into a WW3 because those nations also need the scapegoat of WW3 to sell their populations on a scapegoat (e.g. covidiocy and next patriotism) instead of regime change. Armstrong is incorrect to frame the war with Russia (and soon China et al) as one-sided instigation by Brandon and the Neocons. China needs this WW3 too and has been manipulating the situation to help bring it about.

Thus there will be some black swan event in 2024 that causes a -63% flash crash on the S&P. For a blip in time mimicking March 2020, bonds will spike to massive profits. And China will sell into that rally for sure. The Thucydides Trap is underway and the West will self-immolate while the East rises to be the economic future of the world after Armstrong’s 2032 ECM peak (of the socialistic, decrepit Western civilization).

As Armstrong rightfully points out that $50T in global capital has no place to go but the private sector, i.e. stocks. And that will also include legacy protocol Bitcoin eventually as the future monetary reset of the world takes form with culmination of WW3 and the Thucydides Trap towards the end of this decade.

So we must buy the dips on the U.S. stock markets because they will rise even with an overall rise in the level of interest rates and dollar, because capital has nowhere else to go. But there will be egregious volatility also.

We need to be on the lookout for another leg down or a pullback in November as the E.U. and ECB are likely the next to experience a Panic Cycle in their situation akin to the recent pivots by the U.K., Japan and Australia. Once that is out of the way then the U.S. stock markets can turn bullish as the U.S. equities are currently far oversold relative to the current state of the economy. Eventually the U.S. economy will also roll over but there are some months to go before that and the U.S. govt is likely to simulate and Fed likely to accommodate over the summer 2023 to spur another rally into Fall 2023 before the flash crash likely in 2024 due to some black swan events that surface because of said need for scapegoats.

The implications ahead are dire for the West in particular because the scapegoats have the West as the target and the government becoming the entire economy looms which means totalitarianism, pestilence, and perhaps even mega-death. You have been warned to GTFO before the exit doors slam shut.

Comment:

Even with the central banks going insane and buying up all the sovereign debt (and remember the end game is as John Titus’ research revealed that BlackRock already owns the Fed and will ostensibly parlay this into corporate-fascist takeover of the U.S. Treasury Dept as Western civilization descends into a 666 technocracy panopticon), hyperinflation can only occur if the citizens entirely lose confidence in their government cum central banks AND ALSO they have the ability to flee with their capital. But the powers-that-be (e.g. Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, the Neocons, Brandon et al) have already prepared for that and will impose capital controls preventing capital from fleeing. That is if you do not get your capital out pronto before the stampede begins (probably imminently) then you will not have access to your funds except as doled out in small morsels periodically per capital control limits. This is how they implement the “you will own nothing and be happy only as a renter receiving a small rationing allowance via the CBDC.” The Carbon Credits scam will also be the scapegoat for the rationing. Westerners will live out a dismal life. Boomers will probably just choose to sign-off from life, thus Deagel’s 50+% population immolation.

Of course this will blamed on some scapegoat such as Russian hackers creating a cyber attack on the banking system or whatever. And those who want liquidity will have to adopt the soon-to-be, newly introduced 666-like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) which in essence means BlackRock will own you and control every financial transaction you conduct.

@Ham Yai they are just giving the people what they deserve for gorging on debt and embracing statism. The people will do it again. You are just playing Whac-A-Mole.

Comment:

Note regarding #1 that the Fed (or actually the markets) made a mistake by lowering interest rates in the 1920s thinking that would discourage international capital from fleeing Europe to the dollar, which just caused the stock market to go parabolic because the capital still fled. As the Fed (or actually the markets) raised interest rates capital was able to flee from the stock market bubble to the bonds. Subsequently FDR was able to combat the strong dollar problem with the threat of followed by then the actual order to confiscate gold and devalue the dollar overnight as priced in gold. Thus the world was able to avoid the immediate economic and political pressures of a runaway strong dollar because the dollar was not an embedded reserve currency all over the world and instead the capital flows were speculative. Whereas now the entire world is holding bonds (i.e. debt) denominated in dollars and the dollar debt financial system can’t be unwound without also the Thucydides Trap (i.e. WW3 and end of the U.S. empire). Thus it is impossible for the U.S. to experience deflation for as long as the Fed can prevent it because the entire world must eat dollars. This strong dollar vortex forces the other consumer (i.e. non-export dominant) nations to self-immolate with borrow-and-spend (so as to raise their interest rates and prop up their economies) because otherwise their currencies will collapse (i.e. those nations are on the verge of hyperinflationary wreck if their populations can not be enslaved in CBDCs, rationing and capital controls). The exporting and low consumption nations of the Non-Aligned Movement don’t want to be enslaved and dragged down by the dollar empire’s Great Reset. So they are participating (wittingly or unwittingly whatever the case is behind the curtain) in the scapegoat of an enveloping WW3 which will bifurcate the world’s financial systems to large degree, but with legacy protocol Bitcoin rising from the ashes (as the Phoenix originally promised in the 1989 Economist Magazine cover story) to be the basis of some international trade and settlement regime that (eventually) subsumes said bifurcation regime.

Debt reset is the end game for the aforementioned consumer nations. The debt reset could have potentially taken the form of Armstrong’s proposed Solution wherein bond holders received some new backing (e.g. real estate options) in exchange for taking a haircut on their holdings in the form of longer terms or whatever. But that would have wasted an excellent opportunity for a crisis to grab more power by the powers-that-be. Of course political collectives are a power vacuum that can only be captured by the most ruthless. So instead the plan appears to be that Westerners will be enslaved in a panopticon whereby they must accede to sign away all their future right to private property in exchange for debt forgiveness and to be enrolled into the rationing Carbon Credits scam scheme. Are you picking up what I am throwing down? Are you seriously contemplating owning anything including land in the Western nations? Good luck because if the W.E.F. with their Agenda 2030 succeeds then you will not be able to hold onto that private property.

In this way the powers-that-be hope to enslave all the capital and siphon it to themselves which they will then use to finance their bankster operation in the developing world as they prepare over the coming decades to complete the 666 totalitarian enslavement of the developing world also. It remains to be seen how successful their plans will be and what if anything the moribund, pitiful Western sheepeople can do to stop them.

@El Eleven nonsense. If you are referring to block chains, then how can something be decentralized and thus not vulnerable to government if it must be back with something physical. What you do not understand is that Bitcoin is just as physical as gold, because of the sunk costs in the miners and the real cost to mine, but those miners are distributed all over the world. And we get to hold the claims on that (physical backing) electronically in an entirely decentralized paradigm. Gold and silver will be entirely useless in what we are facing.

Guys it is not just high interest rates and high prices. It is that consumers see a recession coming and they realize they may not keep their job or that inflation will continue to increase further eroding their income. And they might in some cases now hear from others about repossessions. So this is also forward looking which means the downturn in {vehicle} demand will last probably into the Spring now that the IRS has destroyed 30 million information returns (c.f. Fox Business story yesterday) and so may not be able to send out tax refunds on time (which normally stimulates vehicle purchase demand in Spring). Also manufacturers like Ford have 100,000s of vehicles sitting in parking lots waiting for IC chips so it is possible that supply will flood in as we slide into an employment recession later in 2023. Note many of those vehicles may need entirely new wiring harnesses (because they used soy-based wiring coating) though due to rat infestation. Why would they crush the entire vehicle for scrap metal instead of replacing the wiring harnesses?

If the markets rally this week as I am expecting might be the case, then perhaps November will mark the lower low?

I have to laugh though at Armstrong not realizing that China is probably the mastermind behind much of this and might also be using Putin to accomplish their goals. Remember the Chinese are playing 5D chess per Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

I wonder if they actually have the power to have authoritarian governments in the developing world come cull livestock claiming it is warming the climate? In the developed world they can easily do this by just using the corporations and chokepoints. But in the developing world individual farmers and communities might fight back violently against government thugs as they routinely do in Peru.

So you can imagine the martial law power this will give the government as panic spreads and the tension in society as nobody knows which city will be hit next. The government will probably need to prevent millions from streaming out of the cities because it would be gridlock and cause massive social instability.

Comment:

Okay now a plausible plan of our enslavers is coming more clearly into view.

They realize that if they rig the 2022 mid-terms (as they most definitely did in 2020) there is going to be massive civil unrest. And the Demonrats are going to get routed and creamed in the mid-terms if they do not rig it.

So they need some ruse to justify lockdowns again. So maybe we are not looking at actual ICBMs yet in 2022 or even 2023. Rather some false-flag which gives the government the excuse to declare that a nuclear war could be launched at any moment. They could then use this to declare martial law of some sort.

There is no way for us to know exactly what they will do or when. The risks of them doing something extreme as they have been forced to move on from the COVID deception and they can not allow MAGA to take control of the government again.

Perhaps they will tolerate grid-lock instead since Brandon can veto any legislation. But for sure they will have to resort to such extreme measures by 2024 when Trump or DeSantis clearly wins without rigging the election.

So I am not saying the martial law scenario is imminent and I tend to believe it is not. I think we have a couple more years to go until the craziest shit is launched. But we need to be prepared for acceleration at any time now.

They are clearly ramping up the nuclear war scare mongering in their mass media mind programming.

I think hopefully I still have a year or maybe two until everything goes F.U.B.A.R.. I assume you are familiar and can unpack that acronym.

Janet Yellen working on merging the Treasury and Federal Reserve. This is as dystopian as I have been warning. They will micromanage interest rates such that different sectors of the economy have a different interest rate but this means they will require totalitarian control over all commerce via CBDCs so that there can be no arbitrage nor free market. It also means they can pick the winners and losers in the economy so thus only crony corporations can survive. This is about as 1984 dystopian as one could envision. They are really trying to do this to us.

This appears to be the plan underway to privatize the Fed and Treasury merged so that BlackRock will own the U.S. government and manage us in a technocracy, as I had explained previously:

BlackRock and Going Direct Reset

Armstrong blogged privately something to the effect of (paraphrased): “This is essentially Operation Twist swapping short and long-term bonds to further reduce long-term Treasury interest rates forcing the yield curve even more negative, so as to reduce mortgage rates and stimulate the economy {…} Will result in the USG having higher interest expenditures while driving inflation higher forcing the interest rates ever higher on the short-end eventually bankrupting the USG.”

Essentially they are INTENTIONALLY creating a worse crisis as the pretext and ruse to justify technocracy. And Armstrong thinks they are stupid and short-sighted. No Martin is short-sighted for not understanding this is all part of their diabolical long-range plans for our enslavement.

> “I agree with the overwhelming majority of the comments you post, but perhaps there will always be one stumbling block, inasmuch as I think people need to be led by someone with integrity and moral fibre and in that way, having a “leader” of a sort is always paramount to a functional society, irrespective of whether that contradicts one’s hermeneutics.”

Leadership is dysfunctional because:

1. a moral leader will always be overthrown (undermined, overpowered) by a more ruthless one because the more ruthless one can capture more power from the power vacuum. It is thus impossible to have a moral democracy, which is why I renamed it democrazy. People will refuse to understand this. The only way to teach them is by implementing decentralization thus obviating the power vacuums thus forcing them to stop being dependent on statism. The Lord told them this in 1 Samuel 8 but they refused to listen.

2. leadership doesn’t anneal as per the analogy of cracks in ice frozen too quickly because the individual molecules aren’t able to arrange themselves optimally trapped by the rapid temperature gradient. Decentralized actors are more resilient with more optimal outcomes than centralized management. This is also why the concept of Dunbar limited “one mind” as proposed to apply tribalism to the entire society as Asians do, is going to end in abject failure. CoinCube and I had debated this on Bitcointalk.org and we agreed that centralized systems are expedient but ultimately collapse under their lack of expanding entropy.

What would be optimal is to obviate the power vacuum itself so that individuals are forced to manage themselves or perish. Then all those those are capable survive and all those who are incapable perish. Varying hermeneutics could become a boon to resiliency instead of feeding the status quo divide-and-conquer power vacuum.

Obviating the power vacuums is an incredibly difficult problem. I have been thinking about how to do it at least for a block chain for the past ~7 years. And with a truly decentralized block chain, other facets of the societal power vacuum could be possibly disintermediated.

Comment:

My posited interpretation of the recent, insane Janet Yellen proposal, cum recent Fed leak trial balloon through the WallStreet Journal that they will communicate a slowing of interest rate hikes at the November 1–2 Fed meeting, is the powers-that-be’s realization of implausibility to surreptitiously steal the mid-term elections via vote rigging. Too many eyes now presumably focused, at least for the hundreds of contested lower House positions.

Thus further fiscal stimulus legislation DOA, necessitating an alternative diabolical means to stimulate via the executive (e.g. the Treasury department) in defiance of the will of the American voting public for respite from the MMT which is (especially when combined with their intentional destruction of the supply chains with their fabricated faux pLandemic and stoking Ukrainian war towards WW3).

Note Yellen’s “Operation Twist” proposal implies they intend to levitate short-term interest rates in 2023 (with increased issuance) while reducing long-term interest rates (with buybacks deploying funds raised from said increased issuance), thus further exacerbating the yield curve recession signal.

The markets ostensibly are sensing this and a surge up in the risk-on stock (and perhaps also monetary alternatives such as Bitcoin and gold) markets could be possible this week front running the outcome of the election. Which would also agree with the two week lag correlation for the S&P to the recently discussed Net Liquidity epiphany. Even Martin Armstrong privately blogged yesterday finally admitting to my stance that his early November Panic Cycles could possibly be to the upside if the DJIA can clear resistance ~3250 – 3284.

Yet I am thinking that Ron Walker’s point about a Dow Theory divergence (transports making a lower high on this bounce while industrials made a higher high) is signally another pullback in November before continuing higher. Not clear if that will be a lower low for the S&P and/or a higher-low for the DJIA. The Fed could rug pull on that said leak.

There is a real risk that Bitcoin could surge to $22+k this week. Even $25+k later in November or early December.

Armstrong is correct to point out that the U.K. and Europe will be disemboweled by the aforementioned premeditated, intentional resultant (concomitant) stoking of inflation via the wealth effect and stimulation of more debt given the abatement of the 10Y Treasury interest rate (via said buy backs) would exacerbate demand driven aspect of inflation simultaneous with presumably ongoing, intentional escalation of supply chains destruction.

Armstrong should abandon his naive belief that the politicians are inadvertently societalciding us because they’re idiots with short-time preference only to save their own skin. Applicable perhaps to many politicians, but powers behind the (deeper) curtain exquisitely premeditated this very intentionally to transition to a 666-like NWO. They’re not failing. Armstrong is simply naive, myopic and wrong. TPTB know exactly what they’re destructively constructing — to fragment our world into thousands of political jurisdictions subservient to regional blocs (each managed akin to an unelected EU Commission) overall servile to a global institutions rising as the 1989 Economist Magazine’s Phoenix Bitcoin as the only unaligned, international reserve monetary asset (reset) in the intentionally crafted multi-polar world they’ve achieved masterfully.

I emailed Martin years prior positing the E.U. and Euro were intentionally crafted in their defunct manner, intentionally structured to fail in a path that ushers in said dystopian NWO — a premeditation in the works for decades prior now bearing fruit.

Biblical Proverbs 22:7 — “the borrower is slave to the lender.” Ditto 1 Samuel 8 those who embrace statism are enslaved by it.

Lurch into a dystopian world underway with the indebted sheepeople to be fully enslaved in 666 debt forgiveness in exchange for, “you will own nothing, rent everything, and be happy.”

Methinks Armstrong protest too much.

My other postulate is that MMT is just my oft-reiterated model of the process that only the most ruthless can capture power vacuums. The ability to create money out-of-thin-air (something only Bitcoin can resist, because gold is no longer viable in an Internet connected era) is a power vacuum which those who intend to hold onto such power must absolutely deploy said centralized power in the most ruthless and diabolical means possible. If they do not they will be deposed by those who will derive more power from doing so. This is why Armstrong’s oft-reiterated, naive delusion that the Fed is independent (behind the curtain) has to be utter nonsense.

Thus game theory is such that who ever wished to uphold a fiat system has no choice but to eventually strive for the Biblical Revelation end game. This is the Great Harlot system. They have no choice but to devise diabolical plans to maximize the power that they control.

The inability of humanity to admit to themselves the inviolable invariants of power vacuums and power-law distribution of fungible resources is an ineptitude of epic implications and a stumbling block of our collective iniquity.

Wish you all the fortitude and clarity of mind that your carefully, meticulously contemplated actions reflect your understanding.

How does one control something that is sold internationally, like say oil? How do you control that, oh right you "Cap" another countries oil price. This can't possibly work if anyone or group can break it. They need total control and we are seeing real world examples that it cannot be done. Unfortunately, in the meantime the WEF will do massive damage to western economies and the rest of the world through their own shear arrogance that they are smarter than everyone else.”

@billalumni you aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed. The bifurcation of the global trade system at-scale is not an example of how you can subvert a national central bank digital currency after they ban cash. Every transaction you make will be digitally tracked — a 666 panopticon. Barter does not scale. Barter would imply a societal collapse so intense that you would have other threats such as warlords.

@SkuXX the Chinese government is not ignorant. The pLandemic of billions of global flu tests (nothing else happened) was an intentional ruse power grab. The CCP was virtue signaling with a scapegoat excuse to take people’s attention away from the collapsing real estate bubble and preparing them for the patriotism and sacrifice of the WW3 scapegoat excuse that Xi needs to hold onto power during the global Minsky Moment underway.

@flipnotrab unfortunately Trump also ramped up the supply of ventilators with his Operation Warp Speed. Whistleblower nurses were informing us that those were being used inappropriately to glassify lungs and euthanize the patients. The hospitals were bribed by insurance which was paying more if the patient was put on a ventilator than not. There is much that I could explain to those who still do not understand how Bill Gates et al fooled the entire world with his pLandemic of billions of flu tests. Oh so you know someone who had shortness of breath or lost their olfactory or taste senses? Well that is what pneumonia can do. And what better way to induce pneumonia than have everything breathe their own exhale with face diapers, locked inside for weeks, expose their nasal passages to toxic formaldehyde with the PCR tests, and other iatrogenic “treatments”.

> “Trump 2024 if not before!”

@LeAnn Davis 2024 is the potentially apocalyptic threat. Our overlords (e.g. Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, etc) can’t allow the 2024 election to proceed. That is why they are fomenting WW3 and fooling all of you into believing Pootin was at fault. I hope you all are not sheepeople and are doing your research about what is really going on.

Comment:

This will segue into a discussion of Bill Gates and my thoughts positing the what and why some of these intellectual elites pursue dystopian crap.

The pre-1994 SAT test predicts the g-factor for IQ to approximately ±5.94 D15IQ points, as extrapolated from the ASVAB test for g (but) which has only 64% of its variance applicable to g. Meaning that a person’s performance on any cognitive test can vary significantly because the mutual correlation g-factor is never 100% of the variance of the test. Thus a corroborated IQ across many cognitive tests should be a reasonable predictor of how well will perform on cognitive tests relative to others in the test group.

My year 1983 SAT (including if estimated separately for my Math and Verbal score) and ACT scores seem to predict my IQ roughly Mensa level ~130 D15IQ. Other conversions (c.f. also) are within ±5 D15IQ points. Yet there are numerous factors that could have my D15IQ swinging between 120 – 140:

1. If everyone with my IQ took the SAT in 1983 and not just the ACT or neither (or with foreign students filling in for those excluded), then perhaps +5 IQ points. Remember IQ is a rarity measure among a population.

2. My SAT increased 110 points (~8 D15IQ points) the second time I took it. What if I had taken it a third time? I also remember becoming weary during the second test. I was born with jaundice and I seem to have issues with sustaining mental energy. I was initially supercharged but mentally fatigued each time after I interacted verbally in real-time on the phone with (self-proclaimed “167 IQ” same as the Unibomber) Risto Pietilä circa ~2011 (both driven to “insanity”).

3. Aforementioned potential variance between different cognitive tests, although afair my ACT corroborated my highest SAT score. I could order a copy of my ACT results to verify my memory.

4. My mother claims for herself a professionally measured 137 IQ. I don’t know which test she took? If Cattell which is a D24 scale so she would only be 124 D15IQ in that case. My mother’s vocabulary recall and wit seems superior to mine.

5. Two cognitive tests may not be sufficient to corroborate the g-factor given the variances involved. I was sent to be professionally tested by psychologist in downtown New Orleans when I was in elementary school to find out if I am gifted presumably because I devoured the SRA reading set to high school level in a week. Either my mother does not remember my score or won’t tell me maybe because it was presumably too low as I wasn’t subsequently moved to the gifted program. But my mother took me to an optometrist who dilated my eyes right before the IQ test which made me very nauseated. Additionally I was entirely unfamiliar with the sort of cognitive tasks that the interviewer was asking me to do. I could discern he was perplexed because he kept trying other types of tests where some were trivially easy for me but then for example when asked to find a pattern among many squiggly lines I just wasn’t interested and said I don’t see anything but squiggly lines (lol). He was not testing me on anything that caused my brain to wake up and be intrigued. Little did he know I was already thinking about the origins of the universe and doing experiments with insects and electricity on my own back in like third grade when my ~160 IQ stepfather had an Opel GT. Had the tester broached a topic within my interests he might have observed more of my effort. I attribute my not pointing this out due to my much more introverted personality type at that time. I think I had been socially traumatized by neglect and the disruption on me due to my parent’s divorce and my mother’s subsequent chaos (← not her fault really). I changed schools roughly every other year until high school. Also perhaps even a majority of my mental curiosity got sapped by compensating for emotional trauma and also my love of violent sports along with my high testosterone. I was attending inner city schools and in some cases with no teacher and being the only white student among negro kids that were enacting jungle life.

Comment:

IQ correlates to cognitive test performance and also various life outcomes but not precisely nor without extreme outliers. A person such as myself who is not that interested in cognitive tests is not fully engaged. Then again others for which cognitive tests are trivially easy also may not be putting their full effort into it as explained by my “150+ IQ” high school classmate Jeff Agron.

I wholeheartedly accept that my g-factor isn’t genius level. My interaction with superior intellects informs me I’m not a 150+ D15IQ genius. Highly doubt I’m 140 IQ, although I performed some shocking cognitive feats, e.g. during a particularly lucid moment (mental energy very high) I retyped verbatim ~1000 lines of code lost due to a brownout in the Philippines in my age early 30s (before losing vision in my right eye and probably before I was hit over the head with a hammer leaving a permanent 2” hole in my skull but after numerous severe helmet-to-helmet concussions from Little League football to high school football).

IQ can be impacted by health and especially endocrine health (again note I was born with liver jaundice, and have metabolic and endocrine disease now). If my brain can’t get the energy it needs then it will not be able to perform to its full capability.

Yet I’m not going to delude myself with excuses and bullshit to my own detriment as to which genre of accomplishments and vocations I’m probably suited to pursue:

“However, because of the moderate r values of its correlates, IQ is primarily of value in understanding the characteristics and interactions of large populations. Save as a diagnostic tool for very high IQ individuals, it is not sufficiently predictive to be reliably used on an individual case basis.”

{…}

“There are approximately 6.5 million people with an IQ over 140 and 729,000 people with an IQ over 150.”

{…}

“In other words, in audiences dominated by high school graduates, who average around 105 IQ, the successful leaders will have an average IQ of 105+20=125 {…} A college educated audience (110 IQ) will be most convinced by a IQ of 110+20=130 and confused by a 110+30=140. Effective leaders recognize that they need the counsel of those smarter than themselves. They will be most convinced by advisors with IQs of 119+20=139 {…} Because Leaders become ineffective above an IQ of 135, Advisors won't find clients if their IQ is over 135+20=155.”

{…}

“What applies to productive environments also applies to social environments and even personal relationships. Theoretically, after Hollingworth, a person's social relationships should be limited to people with R16IQs within 30 points of their own. For the 100 IQ person, this will include about 94% of the population and consequently it is not an issue. However, for the 150 R16IQ (140 D15IQ), social relationships are limited to 120-180 R16IQ people which represents just a little over 10% of the population. The 165 R16IQ (150D15IQ) person will be limited to people with 135+ R16IQs (130 D15IQ). This comprises just 2% of the population. By 182 R16IQ (160 D15IQ) the problem becomes critical with social relationships limited to those with R16IQs over 152 (142 D15IQ) which comprises just 0.25% of the population.”

{…}

“This is of mild interest to the group within which the 150+ D15IQ person is embedded but it is moderately to profoundly important to the high IQ individual who will feel an often profound sense of isolation. It has often been observed that 150+ D15IQ people are loners. Also, Loius Termann found that children at this IQ level were emotionally maladjusted in about 40% of the cases.”

Comment:

My CoolPage.com accomplishment at the turn-of-the-century garnishing some 1% of the published websites on the entire Internet belies my only 100 million others IQ rarity. Instead was the manifestation of orders-of-magnitude more rare opportunism, foresight and “Essence of Genius” prioritization:

“Apologies if this is quite egotistical, but it is just to demonstrate that most IQ tests are in fact wrong.” — Shelby Moore

You could read the aforelinked for some examples I provided to justify my claim.

Some jealous and/or agenda driven high IQ trolls at BCTalk (e.g. iCEBREAKER) forum lambasted that CoolPage.com accomplishment as not relevant because for example it wasn’t as mathematical as cryptography.

Also ranked top 3 out of three sections of freshman Chemistry comprising about 300 college students at L.S.U.. Thus rarity synonymous with ~145 D15IQ but a result of numerous factors in addition to IQ.

A non-genius IQ places some limitation on the obscurity (← polymath Michael W. Ferguson on audio) and cognitive complexity of the insights and solutions an individual can aspire to discover and (to a lesser degree) even comprehend.

We can conceptualize this g-factor abstraction descriptively reified as for example verbal (i.e. symbolic) reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory and processing speed.

Yet unlike a cognitive test, the outcomes in the universe can’t be reduced to deterministic set of factors, because otherwise the universe would be static and we couldn’t exist (as well the past and future spacetime light cones would overlap meaning everything that could happen is happening at every present instant making no thing distinguishable from anything else). Kurzweil’s A.I. Singularity is nonsense for an analogous reason (c.f. also, also, also) — my 2013 “Thought Isn’t Fungible” insight was ostensibly carried over from my 2012 essay “Demise of Finance, Rise of Knowledge” (reviewed by CoinCube M.D., B.A.M. in 2013). Consequently that the notion of superior intelligence is itself a non-sequitur, because there’s unbounded realities extant at any given present instant relative to the observers’ perceptions and interactions (and that applies even to subatomic particles, information propagation and other phenomena as observers). It’s nonsensical and in fact a violation of the inexorable trend to maximum entropy in the Second Law of Thermodynamics to contemplate a deterministic universe wherein a superior IQ will have all the deterministic erudition to account for every Chaos Theory pendulum experiment Butterfly effect. There are boundless emergent features arising out of randomness, e.g. the Strange Attractor.

“Do not believe this nonsense. Each one of you is unique. Your mind is a galaxy of stars. A hundred billion points of light. A machine can never replace you. Resist the greedy tech companies who collect and trade in information about you and everyone you love. You are an evolutionary traveler. Two hundred billion years on our Earth.”

Some examples:

1. ‘Excessive automation’ a ‘mistake’, ‘humans are underrated’ — 155 IQ Elon Musk

2. Numerous Tesla Roadster strategic blunders — 155 IQ Elon Musk

3. 152+ I.Q. Eric S. Raymond stated I was “batshit crazy” about 9/11 being a conspiracy and yet it’s now proven beyond any doubt to the extent that NIST is now refusing its legal obligation to acknowledge the facts. His regular, the very high IQ Jessica Boxer scolded me about Biblical wisdom because in 1 Samuel 15 the Lord orders the death of everything including the women and the children. Duh as if she entirely doesn’t comprehend that the pretext 1 Samuel 8 is a warning that will happen when humans subscribe to statism.

4. Eric et al didn’t take kindly to my skeptism of Popperism. Btw, here is that long-lost essay I wrote way back in 2009 where I predicted our current economic collapse and societalcide (even correctly identified climate change activism as the form of seppuku). I was wondering where that African photo of pet hyenas had gone.

5. The comparably high IQ James A. Donald (blog.jim.com) similarly is an illogical 9/11 truth denier, but worse thinks humanity would be best served by regressing back to monarchy and he and all his regulars ridiculed me when I commented on his blog in 2019 correctly predicting the powers-that-be would take Trump down in 2020 by crashing the economy.

Comment:

Now for the meat of what I was Layering and Leading into by Laying (yes L.L.L.ol) the foundations about the relevance, limitations or irrelevance of IQ. Bill Gates’ has a genius IQ that’s maybe close to 170, c.f. also. I remember reading that Gates was very frustrated that Westerners were too self-absorbed to fund major humanitarian projects in Africa. Bill seems to have (with his preamble Event 201 and subsequently enacted COVID pLandemic with the encore yet to come) ultimately decided he would have to force people to do what he thinks is right for the world, an analogous “reasoning” that drove the Unibomber insane (who had the same IQ as Risto). BILLY-BOY SEEMS FRUSTRATED BY THE FACT THAT THE WORLD ISN’T DECIDABLE FROM METRICS ALONE, i.e. that his IQ alone is not sufficient:

1. Bill Gates: ‘I was so jealous’ of ‘genius’ Steve Jobs

“He was such a wizard at over-motivating people — I was a minor wizard so I couldn’t fall under his spells — but I could see him CASTING THE SPELLS, and then I would look at people and see them mesmerized,”

{…}

“And, there’s no chance in hell it happens without him. I mean, Apple was on its way to die {before Jobs returned},” Gates says in the interview.

He adds: “No one else can do what he did there. I couldn’t have done that {and} I don’t know anyone who could have.”

{…}

“I wish I could be as magical because I have causes that are in some ways more impactful and I need to make sure they don’t get ignored,”

2. Watch Steve Jobs steal Gates’ audience rapport with his more humanistic story-telling (and note the mention of the 1977 Radio Shack TRS-80 which was my first experience with personal computer at age 13).

3. Bill Gates’ half smile at the end of Mac software announcement.

4. Bill Gates’ admiration of Jobs’ ability to hit home-runs with intuitive risk-taking.

5. How Steve Jobs And Bill Gates Went From Friends To Bitter Enemies (and back to friends again)

6. Bill Gates only knew how to build software with the Cathedral style and then Linus Torvalds comes along and builds Linux with minimal resources employing the radically superior Bazaar-style of software engineering, c.f. also. Linux wipes Windows face with the floor. Apple’s iPhone finally stole Microsoft’s mass market after all those years of Apple computers being only a niche market. Gates lost. He retired. Had to find a new gig.

“Well, Steve, I think there’s more than one way of looking at it. I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.”

Martin Armstrong had posited (← might be in the private blog as I can’t find a link with Google) that these megalomaniac elite end up with $billions they don’t know what to do with and that is what causes them to pursue insane adventurism just because they can. Whereas what it appears to be about how a person’s ego (sense of self-worth) drives them to insanity via the desire to have more control. Notice it’s all about control in Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and its diabolical, dystopian Great Reset along with U.N. Agenda 2030 and the complementary efforts of wrecking balls such as George Soros and other sycophant henchmen such as the various bribed and kompromat induced politicians. They dream that technological disruption will be their Hegelian dialectic crisis to usher in their centralized solutions. And that’s sad for all of us who end up the collateral damage of the failure-directed dystopia that humanity will have to fight through until we come out the tunnel on the other side.

And it may be about another thing perhaps even subconsciously. Bill Gates may have a 1-in-100,000 IQ but there’s still 75,000 others with that IQ. Reduce the population by a factor of 100 and abracadabra, Bill Gates is much more unique.

This is all perfectly natural. Nature abhors a vacuum, especially a power vacuum.

Comment:

More of my insights ostensibly missed by high IQ, self-proclaimed polymath Michael W. Ferguson:

Kurzweil’s Singularity is nonsense but as quoted by you he is correct about deflation and your criticism is misguided. Krugman exudes academic self-serving DKE. Deflation is a growth of the economy from debt misallocated, uneconomic insanity into sane economic production.

The author fails to note the possibility that new microstates might not need be bounded to contiguous land mass, c.f. The Network State ().

Agree with your well organized and articulated points. Note my 2012 essay postulating the root mechanism for the imminent and hopefully permanent death of financialization predated your blog post:

Demise of Finance, Rise of Knowledge

Economic Devastation

=================

I’m sorry but you ostensibly don’t comprehend the significance of the block chain.

> “I agree with the overwhelming majority of the comments you post, but perhaps there will always be one stumbling block, inasmuch as I think people need to be led by someone with integrity and moral fibre and in that way, having a “leader” of a sort is always paramount to a functional society, irrespective of whether that contradicts one’s hermeneutics.”

Leadership is dysfunctional because:

1. a moral leader will always be overthrown (undermined, overpowered) by a more ruthless one because the more ruthless one can capture more power from the power vacuum. It is thus impossible to have a moral democracy, which is why I renamed it democrazy. People will refuse to understand this. The only way to teach them is by implementing decentralization thus obviating the power vacuums thus forcing them to stop being dependent on statism. The Lord told them this in 1 Samuel 8 but they refused to listen.

2. leadership doesn’t anneal as per the analogy of cracks in ice frozen too quickly because the individual molecules aren’t able to arrange themselves optimally trapped by the rapid temperature gradient. Decentralized actors are more resilient with more optimal outcomes than centralized management. This is also why the concept of Dunbar limited “one mind” as proposed to apply tribalism to the entire society as Asians do, is going to end in abject failure. CoinCube and I had debated this on Bitcointalk.org and we agreed that centralized systems are expedient but ultimately collapse under their lack of expanding entropy.

What would be optimal is to obviate the power vacuum itself so that individuals are forced to manage themselves or perish. Then all those those are capable survive and all those who are incapable perish. Varying hermeneutics could become a boon to resiliency instead of feeding the status quo divide-and-conquer power vacuum.

Obviating the power vacuums is an incredibly difficult problem. I have been thinking about how to do it at least for a block chain for the past ~7 years. And with a truly decentralized block chain, other facets of the societal power vacuum could be possibly disintermediated.

Comment:

Did you all read the link about the Unibomber and realize I am positing an analogy between the rationalization of the two for their insane actions?

Also did you all fully appreciate that my hypothesis being that Gates is frustrated with the Second Law of Thermodynamics (that entropy trends to maximum inexorably) and that he can’t always reason about the outcomes because nature is random and boundlessly multivariate — this driving him to the madness of culturing totalitarian control?

In fact all totalitarians (even Katie Hobbs with her high school slavery enactments) hate nature because they can’t control it. So they erroneously believe man and intellect can entirely subjugate chaos.

Note that since this is a sovereign debt default crisis with the central banks on unrelenting Q.E. (MMT) the powers-that-be need some way to insure that price inflation outpaces wage growth so that consumer debt isn‘t inflated away making the borrower the winner. Thus another reason (in addition to the Magician-like, attention-redirecting scapegoats and excuses for totalitarian control at the Minsky Moment) for fabricating the supply chain disruptions with the pLandemic and forcing Putin into WW3.

Again I reiterate that I do not agree with Armstrong’s thesis that China is entirely benevolent and resisting Klaus Schwab, because Xi also needs all those I enumerated. Thus I posit that Armstrong’s geopolitical model is yet again myopic and too simpleton. China might even be mastermind of the entire outcome having Klaus Schwab et al captured with bribes and kompromat. What more Sun Tzu-esque than achieve the Thucydides Trap transfer to China by engineering the politics of your enemy. 😉

Comment:

ADDED: To understand China understand how impossible it is to govern because the East coast is properous and the rest of the country is mired in poverty due to the horrible geography for trade. China is essentially trapped by the Himalayan mountains.

Thus the CCP and Xi needed COVID and need WW3 in order to hold on to power as the global debt bubble collapses.

I will share this discussion with That Brit.

Your fellow Brit is beyond saving. He for example argues illogically that Ukraine would not want to dirty bomb their own land, but it is not Ukraine that is pushing this war — it is the West that wants to overthrow Russia so they can push their Climate Change panopticon enslavement down the throats of every soul on his planet.

That Brit can not accept that the powers-that-be are trapped by a Minsky Moment and need our 666 enslavement so that they can prevent a stampede of capital to the East as the West collapses.

Just a little bit of common horse sense that a high IQ academic like That Brit rejects out-of-hand.

Climate Change = Military Strategy

Comment: {…} wished to ask you about something you often reference: that many of these globalists are trying to destroy fossil fuels for “climate change”.

However, going by their actual behavior, it seems that they don’t *genuinely* believe in climate change, otherwise they wouldn’t be flying around in private jets, owning ocean-front property, or creating more carbon emissions than many small countries. Do you think they actually believe the earth is in danger or are they trying to force the majority of humanity back into a third world state because without the ability to travel, or heat/cool homes, communicate with one another, or have access to clean water, meat and nutritious food, etc., we not only will lose much of the population to sickness and starvation, but those who are left would become much more dependent on the state (them) and therefore easier to control?

Depopulation and crushing humanity into a smaller, weaker, more controllable feudal-system peasantry seems more like the actual reason for destroying fossil fuels, food security, and private ownership, with “climate change” merely being their flimsy excuse to do so. Do you think any of those pulling the strings on all this really believes what they’re saying about climate change?

ED

REPLY: The elite could care less about climate change. They know it is laughable. Even John McCain was pushing it only because it was to hurt Russia cutting off its resources and he was pushing nuclear energy to replace fossil fuels only as a strategic chess move against Russia – his eternal enemy. These people do not care about the climate. They all travel to Davos in private jets. Al Gore and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at Davos in 2019 told delegates that humanity is “losing the race” against climate change. Al Gore conspires with Greenpeace and used Greta for their publicity stunts.

They have used climate change as the spearhead for the Great Reset which is all about coming up with the propaganda to cover up the Sovereign Debt default. Trust me. They are laughing their ass off at how they have sold this nonsense to people who just eat it up. John McCain was preaching nuclear back in the 2008 election to end dependency on foreign oil purely for military purposes – not environment.

They used Greta and once they managed to get the press selling their BS and believing this all changed the planet, they have discarded her. They use people to achieve their goal and that is all this war is really about. To destroy the economy of Russia. Occupy the country and end fossil fuels so that Russia will be reduced to a vassal state. They have no problem reducing the population by 50% ANYHOW. The real powers do not care about Climate Change. They know this is all nonsense.

Delete PayPal (if you still can!)

There are growing calls from users to delete the payment app PayPal. Two weeks ago, the company came under fire for hiding a clause in its terms and conditions that permits the company to fine users $2,500 for misinformation.

{…}

Two weeks after removing the penalty after mass backlash, PayPal has reintroduced the language into their terms and conditions. Basically, PayPal can use their “sole discretion” to rob its customers for any reason. Former PayPal CEO David Marcus criticized the company’s woke policy. “It’s hard for me to openly criticize a company I used to love and gave so much to. But @PayPal’s new AUP goes against everything I believe in. A private company now gets to decide to take your money if you say something they disagree with. Insanity,” he tweeted. Elon Musk, also a former PayPal CEO and co-founder, said he agreed with Marcus.

Why would anyone want to link their bank account to a company that could fine their users for thousands of dollars at any time? There are plenty of alternatives. As a reminder, PayPal also owns Venmo.

{…}

One of my employees attempted to close her account yesterday and received the following message. {“Before you close your account… Sorry, there’s a problem. If you continue seeing this, please contact customer service.” and then Customer Service is unresponsive and can’t assist} PayPal is making it difficult for users to delete their accounts and unlink their debit cards. This is completely unethical and shows that the service cannot be trusted.

My outline sketch of my Telegram private group voice recordings up to this point so far:

1. Cyberpunks tenets curiousity decentralization, permissionlessness, trustlessness. To disintermediate my central, fundamental two theses: a) power vacuums of control of collective resources can only be captured by the most ruthless because the most powerful take control; b) 80/20 power-law distribution of fungible resources (which include wealth, ASIC mining farms, etc).. And how Nakamoto proof-of-worth ends up 50+% centralized by the 1% and thus Nash equilibrium is eventually lost. John Nash -> JSTOR Ideal Money proposal -> conspiracy about his death. Forgot to mention the 10 year cycle I identified since the 1989 Economic Magazine Phoenix cover story.

2. I refuse to pivot away from #1, because…

3. Too late to create “everything app” because for one Elon Musk will do it first and too many extant social networks? Made the scaling & latency impediments point so far. Made the features nimbleness point. Only get-rich-quick FOMO so far, not features adoption.

4. Could I pivot to layer 2 on the legacy protocol Litecoin or Bitcoin? Andrew Poelstra’s new discovery. The Mt. Box centralization invariant oh Hash Time Locked Contracts (value transfer or even smart contract State) channels for offchain layer — my novel coincidence of wants of barter (normally applies to why we need fungible money) analogy to convey some intuition as to why Mt.Box hubs centralization is the unavoidable outcome. N-P computational complexity issue as no polynomial time deterministic algorithm, “garbage collection” analogy exit door stampede settlement onchain scaling bottleneck problem, etc..

5. Litecoin might be the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, due to an oversight I had which I realized in my conversation with FiniteMaz. Mircea Popescu (the trilema.com dude) had an error on his key blog article: The woes of Altcoin, or why there is no such thing as "cryptocurrencies"

6. Both Litecoin and Bitcoin have a double-top pointing to below $0 portending the ANYONECANSPEND attack to come perhaps in 2024 if they do not make new ATHs before that. Differentiate between the posited ANYONECANSPEND attack and the aforementioned Mircea’s blog which is instead about a difficulty bomb attack against all proof-of-work altcoins. Do not conflate the two posited attacks, although the latter is important in arguing why the former will be unavoidable.

TODO. Discuss why Nash equilibrium forces return to the immutable legacy protocols for both LTC and BTC. Why all the privacy and layer 2 crap added to LTC and BTC will be destroyed and thus why my proposed alternative consensus (which is not PoS nor PoW) is necessary. Explain why LTC will be a surviving proof-of-work along with BTC. Explain some more nuances of the posited ANYONECANSPEND attack. Etcetera.

Comment:

How many times have I told you that 3 and bc1 addresses are SegWit. You will lose everything if ANYONECANSPEND attack. Please provide to me an address that begins with 1.

Seems you were going to lose all your BTC and LTC if I had not discovered you were using bc1 addresses?

So I was correct that after the U.S. ICBMs are taken out, Russia and China will hold the U.S. cities hostage with the blackmail threat of nuclear strikes on cities one-by-one. Imagine the Madmax. Imagine the martial law. Imagine the fear and thus the power extended to our overlords.

J. Skousen predicted the exact year the conflict with Russia would start, now he has an even more dire prediction. U.S. has 400 ICBMs, Russia has 3000. Entire U.S. will be hit with an EMP strike that will take down the grid. Madmax within a few days. Russia’s nuclear arsenal is only useful in a first-strike, all-or-nothing salvo. He says survival communities always fracture! Holy shit he says the Australia and New Zealand will be occupied by China (“you don’t want to live under Chinese occupation”). And now I know why that massive hidden command and control complex was built under the Denver Airport, along with those dystopian murals at the Denver airport! He excoriates Trump!!

Americans are already fighting back. Russians are fleeing instead or burying their heads in the sand.

> “For a country that have a lot of resources while living through so many sanctions, it's highly unlikely russia will end up like this. It's more likely happening to USA who have larger import than export resources when 'petrodollar' is no longer the only mean of oil deal transactions. It's kinda exciting.”

Human capital and efficient networks is orders-of-magnitude more valuable than commodities. Russians will learn this the hard way.

The number of young and educated Russians who have left Russia for countries here in Europe in recent months is staggering. We (most of us anyway) welcome them with open arms. Such a massive brain drain is in all likelihood going to be debilitating to the economic future of Russia.

Sir, I would like to mention that India till now only bought ~1-2% of its oil demand from Russia, rest being bought from middle east. I don't think that we would buy anymore than 1-4%.

Same goes for China with the additional problem for China being they themselves can't afford to pay for pipelines or railways to be built from Russia to China as they're 3x their GDP in debt and losing money from exports as companies are pulling out of China due to costs growing too much and moving manufacturing to places like Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand etc. or like Russia they've had foreign assets frozen or seized due to things like lack of payment.

EU energy dependance is one of the reason Russia invaded Ukraine.. Ukraine have the potential to seriously reduce EU energy dependance to Russia.

Side remark: Germany made itself dependent on Russian gas precisely because of its green policies. So let’s not conclude that green policies per se are a way out of Russian dependence

This is a misunderstanding of the Reason for Germany’s dependence on Russian Oil. The Idea was that cheap Russian Gas would fuel the German economy while they deactivated their nuclear plants and transitioned to a self sustaining renewable energy economy via wind, solar, and hydro electric this was meant to be the stop gap not the end goal.

Yep. And its already signed and on its way.

Heads of government from the North Sea countries met in the Danish town of Esbjerg on Wednesday (18 May) to sign a cooperation agreement on offshore wind development and green hydrogen. They will target at least 65 GW by 2030 and 150 GW by 2050.

One thing everyone misses about Russia is that it is basically two countries. There is the part of Russia that is around Moscow and St. Petersburg, and then there are the poor ethnic areas that are the vast majority of the landmass. The ethnic regions are where the natural resources are, but all of that oil money gets redirected to the Moscow area. It is why Moscow and St. Pete appear rich and similar to any western city.. but the vast majority of Russians live like a third world country. This is also important with regards to the war in Ukraine. Moscow has the parades where Putin shows off nice looking troops and a few copies of each type of very modern military equipment. But the kids dying in Ukraine are entirely from the poor ethnic areas and have to use 40 year old tanks. Putin learned from Afghanistan, where one of the biggest reasons Russia had to admit defeat was the corpses of soldiers being returned to Moscow. If you look now, none of the dead soldiers are from the Moscow region.. they are just marching in parades.

It is important, when talking about Russia selling oil to India or China instead, to remember the Caucasus mountain range. The pipelines to those countries are already running at capacity, but even if there was a way to move more oil, it couldn't get there. All of the wells in western Russia pretty much have to export west, either via pipeline or ship. And a lot of the major ship ports are in the black sea, essentially a war zone now, which means no one will insure the ships. And Russia can't just wait to sell the oil until they have new facilities. Their wells either pump, or freeze. If the pumps stop, it will cost a lot of money to get them running again-more than the remaining oil is worth in most cases. Russia is looking at the loss of most of the oil production it currently sells to Europe!

There is another much overlooked but absolutely critical problem facing the Russian economy. In general, for export industries - transport of products by water costs about 1-2% of the costs of goods BUT transport of products by land costs 10+% of the cost of goods. Russia has a terrible internal waterway system, poor canal system, and very limited ports and as a consequence goods produced for exports virtually all go by land boosting costs by 10%. So Russian exports has a huge disadvantage in price because of transport costs compared for example to Germany or Japan or the US with great river systems and ports. To put that 10% disadvantage in context, the average business only makes about a 4% profit per year. What that means is that Russia cannot cut profits to compete on costs because their 10% disadvantage is massively larger than their 4% profit per sale. As a consequence Russia is completely uncompetitive in the basic business of making things and exporting them. That is why their only serious industrial exports are for military systems where competition is very limited - only the US is in their league and US politics limits arms sales to many countries while Russia is much less discriminating. THIS is the reason why Russia has always been relatively a poor country since the Industrial Age occurred. And the lack of Russian focus on transport, building canals, expanding ports etc keeps them in the box of countries that just cannot compete in industry except niche industries like weapons which are good for about $24B in sales a year (similar in total to the US).

(What Will Ukraine Do After The War With Russia | The Infographics Show)

You have to admire how this channel pumps out one anti-russia video after the other without taking a break to catch their breath.

Can you do a video of how the Pentagon can whip up a Silverlight demo of this magnitude in a few hours?

So weird how the west thinks that letting russia and china (2 of the largest armies in the world) keep all the oil to themselves while the west struggles and is running out of supplies is a good idea, in real life a country the size of russia with unlimited oil will never run low on supplies or equipment.

You didn't factor in Russia's OPEC membership who are other dictorships of like mind. Nor have you factored in an uneasy alliance with China. China will clean their clocks of high tech, and access to the Arctic for their help in manufacturing chips and parts. They will buy Russian fossil fuels at bargain prices too. China's help will only prolong the conflict. Their allied aggressions might bring both economies down eventually.

Its interesting how every channel mentioned the resurgence of the rubel WITHIN Russia, I am in Thailand and there are lots of desperate Russians here, they cant even give away rubels at 10% of the "Russian" value as no one wants to fly back to Russia and use them and they cant be exchanged here. I assume its the same on a global scale.

This gives me "China will collapse in the next 0.0003 seconds" vibes

Any reasonable person would rightfully fear even a limited nuclear exchange, but we need to keep in mind and account for in our plans to bring about a peaceful end to Russia's genocidal war with Ukraine - that it is a near certainty that Russia's nuclear missiles are almost entirely non-functional. But why??

Here's why: Russia's war with Ukraine has humiliatingly demonstrated to the world that Russia's conventional weapons are embarrassingly old, poorly maintained and mostly nonexistent. See old Vlad and his cronies weren't the only leaders to be embezzling funds from the military budget - so was virtually EVERYONE else in authority in the command chain.

While literally everyone was pocketing their share that they could themselves get their hands on, there was no budget left for years for not only the procurement of new weapons, ammunition and supplies - but for their maintenance as well. That is proven by multitude of reports of ammunition shortages, so much so that Russia has arranged to buy back ancient (post WWII) ammunition from North Korea that they had sold to them almost 50 years ago. Also is that their naval flagship, the pride of their Navy, was so easily lost in a short battle just a few months ago. And most recently, that they secured drones from IRAN to hit residential areas in Ukraine as punishment for the bridge attack. With this reality, it is a virtual certainty that their nuclear arsenal is overwhelmingly nonfunctional due to neglect by theft of maintenance funds.

Think about it, the theft of these funds by widespread corruption would make the most sense. The widespread neglect and theft would be (and has been) most noticable for their most basic supplies and munitions. Who would really notice that the funds for their nuclear missile systems have been misappropriated? It would only come to light if the order was given to mobilize and launch about the theft - and in that scenario, other things are far more serious than trying to figure out and arrest those responsible. Also they would be the literally the last weapons to be used in a war. Instead they are far, far more useful as scary props and decorations by Vlad. To which he has threatened to use over, and over, and over. He knows that all he has is the threat and fear - but that's all. He will certainly go down in history as being the biggest crybaby to have ever led a nation.

What’s collapsing is the Siberian oil patch. Without contract technical consultants and foreign employees they Siberian reserves go away. They will have to cap the wellheads.

To be honest, the balkanization of Russia was always inevitable. Considering it’s history with autocracy and corruption would have its chances high enough for a possible civil war was always there.

As a person from India, I know Russia has never won wars because they have the most skilled fighters, have the most brilliant commanders, or the most efficient supply lines. Closer to the opposite is the norm for them. They've always benefited massively from having a huge land mass with brutal weather that they can keep retreating back into when an invader win battles, they had a huge population that could always absorb loss after loss and keep coming back with more troops, and they have a population that knows nothing but suffering and is prepared to endure more of it. These have always been the keys to Russian victory.

Now things are different. Russia still has the large land mass, but this does not help them in offensive wars. The Russian population is half of what it used to be, and really much less than that since Russian women barely have kids anymore. Losses by the military are not easily replaced like they used to be, and the loss of an only child is felt much more severely by Russian families. The people are not as willing to endure endless hardship as their grandfathers and great-grandfathers used to be. The old leaders. are still reliving the glory days of a bygone era in their heads, but their efforts to bring them back are hitting the wall of the current reality. Something has to give.

HIGH INFLATION IS HERE TO STAY

Inflation rates are the highest in decades, even according to the official “Consumer Price Index” which is manipulated downward by excluding the fastest rising prices, even though we all feel the pinch of higher prices everywhere. This is bad news for the incumbent Democrats because high inflation is the number one complaint of voters heading into this year’s mid-term elections, and there are signs inflation will continue to be a major issue well into 2024 as well. It may seem contradictory to still have rising prices when all the economic indicators point to a recession, driven in large part by rising interest rates currently at 7%. But interest rates don’t tell the whole story. High interest rates only kill demand in those parts of the economy that depend on debt—consumer credit card debt, mortgages on housing, and business interest for growth and expansion. The recession is hitting in those areas right now, but actual inflation of the money supply by the FED is NOT stopping as only part of the new debt is being monetized. Increasingly, the FED is using secret back channels to create money by stealth and feed it to its favored banks here and abroad. SO, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ECONOMIC HISTORY WE ARE FACING STAGFLATION FOR THE MIDDLE AND LOWER INCOME PEOPLE (who curtail spending as their ability to buy at higher prices diminishes) AND CONTINUED PRICE INCREASES IN CONSUMER GOODS DRIVEN BY THOSE WITH DEEP POCKETS WHO CAN STILL AFFORD TO PAY, AND FOR THOSE STILL ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE FED’S NEW MONEY (Wall Street insider brokers, speculators, and military contractors, and all those downwind of their spending). Even though housing sales and new starts are declining rapidly, high housing prices are only leveling off and declining slowly. In fact, I think real affordable housing will not happen again until there is a major recession or war comes and wipes out people’s money to buy big-budget items.

SHIT. BILL CLINTON PREPPED THE U.S. FOR THE NEXT PEARL HARBOR BY ELIMINATING NUCLEAR RESPONSE ON LAUNCH OF THE ENEMY AS A DETERRENT.

Did you Know?

The Russians are building tremendous new nuclear/biological and chemical weapons systems--all with the assistance of US technology transfers. They are deploying on average, 3 new Topol-M 6th generation ballistic missiles per month. We built our last MX over 10 years ago, and are disarming unilaterally. Further, the Russian are building huge underground nuclear bunkers and weapons production facilities in the Ural Mountains, clearly intended to function during a nuclear war. The US intelligence community (under both Republican and Democratic administrations) knows this and are actively covering for the Russians, so the American people won't become alarmed.

Both Republican and Democratic administrations have been supplying the Chinese with high technology weapons systems for years, knowing that they, in turn, are supplying other enemies (Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, North Korea) as well. Both Russia and China continue to protest against any US anti-ballistic missile system, even though such systems are purely defensive. It doesn't take a genius to understand that ABM systems only threaten someone who intends to launch ballistic missiles someday.

President Clinton directed our military to absorb a nuclear first strike rather than launch on warning (our only true deterrent to a first strike) and to prepare to retaliate afterward. That first strike will take down all command and control, all bombers (since none are on alert), most missiles, and all satellite and submarine communications.

According to the House Armed Services Committee, the following reductions have taken place during the Clinton Administration: Strategic and General Purpose Forces from 1990 to 1997: B-52 Bombers have gone from 220 to 56. B-1 Bombers from 90 to 60; Strategic Defense Interceptor Aircraft from 36 to 0; and Army Divisions (1990 to 1997) have gone from 18 Active down to 10. Reserve divisions have gone from 10 to 8. Army Brigades (1990 to 1997) have declined from 8 Active to 3 and Reserve brigades have gone down from 27 to 18.

Comment:

I would not want to REMAIN:

Joel Skousen pointed out that nations which banned their firearm ownership will be rife for occupation by China (or U.N. troops in the U.K.?) and I think adding that perhaps under the pretext of containing the Madmax with martial law. He said Canada will very soon ban firearms.

His other very, very important point is that Trump was an example of how the planners are using hopium to prevent us from doing the actions we need to be doing. You can see they are about to do that again with for example the U.S. mid-term elections.

The powers-that-be will string us along until they are ready to drop on us the nuclear war hammer and Madmax —> martial law.

Comment:

Again I want to reiterate that if the plan is as Joel Skousen has explained that the Bill Clinton signed an order that will not allow the U.S. (or all of NATO?) to launch retaliatory nukes when Russia and China launch theirs. Thus the NATO to absorb a first strike destroying its ~400 ICBMs leaving Russia and China with 1000s more to threaten to nuke Western cities with until NATO surrenders Ukraine and Taiwan and other military operations. Thus you can imagine from the initial radioactive fallout, the loss of all civil services (water, sewer, food, electricity, heat, fuel) after the initial EMP attacks. That within days there will be Madmax looting and chaos. Thus especially with the threat of further nukes incoming against cities, this will be the perfect pretext to justify strict martial law.

THUS WE SEE THAT COVID WAS JUST THE TRIAL RUN. IT WAS SO OUR OVERLORDS COULD SORT OUT THE CHANGES THEY NEED TO MAKE SO THE NEXT LOCK DOWNS DURING WW3 WILL BE MUCH MORE STRICT AND 1984 DYSTOPIAN.

Armstrong is such a fool for spreading the hopium that our evil overlords will fail. We are heading into “hell on earth.”

Comment:

Russia can not continue this war in Ukraine much longer without resorting to tactical nukes. Or accepting troops from N.Korea?

(Why are Ukrainian casualty rates so high?)

Comment:

If our overlords succeed with their Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset, the long-term future is one of artificially induced resource scarcity. Per the Joel Skousen’s revelations and how pitiful Russia’s military is (other than their posited exceptional nukes, per the plan of the overlords to empower, then trap and force Putin and China to deploy nukes) we can see clearly our overlords have the upper-hand towards their plan to enslave the world in a NWO technocracy with the incoming nuclear war blackmail and martial law dystopia as the key lurch into 666-like, Carbon Credits rationing, CBDC technocracy. Appears that China and N.Korea are fully onboard the plans for a global technocracy and are pivotal collaborators with our overlords Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab et al, unlike Armstrong’s naive belief in the intentional, deceptive theater that China is somehow resisting the NWO plan.

We are learning from Bradley Manning in the Iraq war and even in spades in the current Ukraine war, that the future is one where our overlords can govern us with sniper drones from the sky:

(Ukrainian drone drops bomb on Russian soldier sending his helmet flying | The Sun)

Refuse to obey edicts then assassination from the sky as depicted in the above video.

Also satellite imagery coupled with big data A.I. will make it trivial to detect who are farming and raising livestock not in compliance with their carbon credit allotments.

Thus the future of the world in terms of freedom will only be both of:

1. Cryptographic obfuscation as frontiers in the online, digital economy.

2. Underground farming and animal husbandry.

There is no long-term future for above ground freedom in meatspace. The developing world will lag a bit the lurch into Agenda 2030 but it will accede to it not more than within a couple of decades.

What changed was technology. There are no more frontiers in above ground meatspace going forward.

The first, most immediate threat is surviving the incoming nuclear WW3 that our overlords have in the works. This behooves moving out of the NATO countries that will be the first-strike target of Russian and Chinese nukes.

After surviving that then the next challenge is how to prosper despite carbon credits restrictions. Again my idea is move meatspace carbon-based (e.g. agriculture and livestock) production underground. Carbon neutral or net positive agriculture can remain above ground to the extent it doesn’t draw attention.

Armstrong’s ECM (model) is that the 51.6 year shift to the private sector peaks near the end of 2032. His thesis has been that this was the peak and death of socialism. Starting in 2033 the world will rebuild and the public sector (i.e. government) will be rejuvenated. In that case we can expect the younger generation and their idealistic climate change religion (based on priests falsely given the title of “scientists”) to take over the politics.

I see a future of most people moving to the cities. And rural lands being highly restricted by the carbon credits societalcide. Our overlords now have all the power because of advances in technology such as the panopticon Internet, satellites and overhead drones.

Armstrong has the wrong interpretation of our future. He thinks that humans will never agree, but he fails to understand humans have no choice. We do not have the power anymore for the frontiers of yore. Technology has changed the invariants.

Note for underground structures to be undetectable they probably need to below solid rock or at least very moist soil. And the top soil must not have been disturbed. I suppose perhaps one could put crops on top as the plausible deniability for a change in the top soil and vegetation, but the soil would need to be moist and dense enough to prevent penetrating optics:

The most undetectable would be under solid rock. Because I could imagine flying overhead with an airplane with long-wave electromagnetic radar to detect changes in density deep below the surface. Or maybe a better strategy is place the underground structure immediately below an above ground structure with denser foundation than anything below it, as long as that foundation is not inappropriate thus raising suspicion. Of course if underground space is limited by above ground structures, there will be some limits on below ground livestock production. Also there might be an issue with venting and methane release signature although the methane could be presumably captured.

In short I am pointing out that we will need to employ technology to outwit the onslaught of modern panopticon technologies.

Comment:

Another option is to trap and hunt wild game. Could even trap and hunt the predators, to stimulate overpopulation of game. If dependent on the largest grazing game such as Buffalo, the government could in theory decimate the large game population as the U.S. did to starve out the plains indigenous populations. Unless the area was overrun by hunters I doubt government could decimate the small game such a deer, fowl and rabbits.

I contemplated that if assassin drone technology will become so commonplace then whether extortion via threat of assassination would proliferate? But the prerequisite is the certainty that the threat has been delivered and understood. Only the government could force individuals to acknowledge messages. And individuals could hire accountants who shield them from extortion messages.

I contemplate whether the government will be able to force individuals to live in bubble cities and prevent rural abodes? The key is whether the incoming nuclear holocaust can wipe out most rural, dispersed life via both radiation and madmax+martial law inducing everyone to yield to city life for security and survivability? I doubt our overlords can accomplish that extreme. Firstly they have no ruse nor pretext excuse to drop nuclear bombs on the non-aligned nations which are not parties to this incoming WW3. Secondly, humans can not adjust that abruptly to such a radical change in lifestyle. Even the youngest generation still enjoys going to beach sometimes.

Nah. The most our overlords can accomplish in my lifetime is some climate change religion based society. Sheepeople must be fooled to jumping into their frog boiling pot.

So I don’t think we will be absolutely prevented from living in rural abodes. But the control grid will intensify, e.g. taxes and regulations. As well we will have to purchase carbon credits to exceed our allotments. And the individual allotments will be monotonically decreased over time.

However after I am dead circa 2085+ the abject dystopia may be achievable because the people will have imposed abject poverity upon themselves. Bitcoin as John Nash’s Ideal Money will enable this as the richer will get richer and totally enslave the sheepeople masses in their stupidity and gullibility.

Move to the developing world and thrive. And hope your children are geniuses who can escape with Elon Musk to the interstellar frontier. That’s a journey, challenge and battle our young lads will have to surmount. My aging Gen X generation (myself on the cusp of Boomer at 57 years old) can only work on the cryptographic frontiers that have indefinite lifespan and the stop-gap meatspace solutions which have a viability measured probably only in decades. The human species continues to evolve and probably must become an interstellar species lest it self-destruction if cordoned on earth.

To the youngest Boomers and eldest Gen X, I urge you to yank up your roots and head south outside of NATO. Or in sparsely population areas of a NATO country at significant distance from any cities. To the elderly Boomers I can only offer my prayers because I know most of you are set in your ways and not youthful enough to totally change your venue embarking on a new adventure. Some of you have made that move to retire in Mexico or the Philippines for example. Good luck to everyone.

The younger generations must find their opportunities because they still need to work and build up their finances. I can only hope to still be relevant in their economy with my software engineer skills.

Yes this is very interesting. I had figured this all out about 10 years ago. And I urge everyone to listen to this (on double-speed playback to at least the 31 minute mark) so they will understand for example why money as a medium-of-exchange requires more than just some attributes: durability, portability, divisibility, fungibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability. This can explain why the demand for LTC as money is not as great as for example ETH. Let me explain…

The Eurodollar ledger system of promises which expanded as ad hoc fractional reserve system between major banks to meet the demand for dollars abroad (i.e. the Triffin dilemma), is analogous to the ad hoc gold certificates which expanded into the ad hoc fractional reserve banking system in the U.S.A. in the 1800s which ultimately led to Rockefeller bailing out the entire U.S. banking system and government. Which ultimately led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Ditto the recent episode of massive fractional reserve leverage in the cryptocosm with LUNA and wrapped ETH (WETH) loans, which also recently crashed and burned, because there was no one trusted enough who could create ETH or WETH out-of-thin-air.

The rise of the Fed who could create USD out-of-thin-air is what has enabled the Eurodollar fractional reserve bubble to endure so long as it has thus repetitively kicking-the-can on the ultimate crash & burn of the Federal Reserve and sovereign debt systems in a massive global monetary reset which is approaching. Which is why our overlords created Bitcoin to rise as the 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix to be the next reserve currency.

And btw, this will validate my prediction that eventually BTC becomes a fractional reserve system. The power-law distribution of wealth and fungible resources is undefeated. Thus eventually Bitcoin mining becomes controlled by a 51+% cabal and they can then do whatever they want with Bitcoin, including creating BTC out-of-thin-air and censor transactions. That is the 666 end game as described in biblical Relevation. But the Rothschild and Vanderbilt overlords behind the curtain will bide their time and allow Bitcoin to become a global standard first. So this will mean ad hoc fractional reserve banking systems will develop which offer WBTC created out-of-thin-air. Eventually there will be some global crisis in WBTC that demands that BTC reserves be created out of thin air and that is when the cabal wolves that surreptitiously controls the Bitcoin mining will remove their sheepskin to come to the “rescue” of the world (as the Fed is doing to us today, which is just a pretext for our enslavement as is ongoing today).

Jeff Snider is correct to explain that these emergent ad hoc fractional reserve systems phenomena often create positive and negative outcomes, i.e. they serve a necessary function in nature. For example with the fall of the Iron Curtain and the acceleration of the opening of China to free market capitalism after Tiananmen Square, the demand for economic activity radically accelerated because of the peace dividend of a massive supply of cheap labor, manufacturing and commodities. Ditto the WETH and Luna bubble (as well the ICO bubble before it as a form of created money out-of-thin-air) propelled the Bitcoin ecosystem overall (to help it rise to the next reserve currency to replace the dollar with the upcoming global monetary reset), as well advance the interest in smart contracts and scaling block chains.

So this is why we were incorrect to think the SEC could crack down on the proliferation of ICOs. Of course there was a huge market demand and thus ample financial resources to pay off the regulators. Where there is demand, the supply will rise to meet it somehow.

This is why those who think Litecoin is superior due to some hodgepodge of features (not being even the most well known in any particular market sector) are myopic about why the FOMO cryptocosm even exists. Everything exists for a reason in nature and not necessarily some highly ordered reasoning that lacks a more holistic understanding (i.e. that an inelastic currency is unsuitable for humanity and only reserves as a store-of-value fulcrum upon which fractional reserves are constructed). And one should not conflate the inelastic store-of-value (i.e. Bitcoin) with a FOMO or transactional monetary phenomenon which per Gresham’s law must not be inelastic. So Litecoin really has no CURRENT purpose as currently constructed (other than to be the blockchain the DOGE is merged mined on), other than to IN THE FUTURE rise from the ashes of the ANYONECANSPEND attack as the silver to Bitcoin’s gold.

Thus it is very complex to think about what sort of altcoin project I should create and what will actually create demand in the ecosystem.

On the one hand we can hope that money and financialization becomes less important per the insights of my oft-mentioned 2012 essay about the Rise of Knowledge, Demise of Finance (as reviewed by CoinCube, M.D. BAM) in the context of post-scarcity, post-industrial age society. But our financialisation overlord priests are trying to ram artificial scarcity down out throats, even fooling the sheepeople into supporting Malthusian defeatist societalcide under the guise of virtual signaling environmentalism and fact-free anthropogenic climate change. And as I pointed out recently our overlords have technological advances in warfare and panopticon control.

I think the world needs an actually permissionless, trustless, decentralized, scalable blockchain. Proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-work (PoW) can’t. We know that PoS can’t as Ethereum PoS miners are already signaling OAFC compliance with government regulations. We know that PoW is vulnerable to the mining difficulty bomb non-readjustment attack which will insure there can be only one surviving blockchain for each type of specialized ASIC (i.e. SHA256 and Scrypt). Also proof-of-work should also be vulnerable to the mining farms signaling OAFC compliance eventually, because either too costly to move their mining farms to a non-compliant country (e.g. El Salvador) or the resultant banning of the non-compliant token in major compliant countries crashing the token price thus causing huge losses for the miners (especially where there is only one blockchain surviving for each ASIC type). Bitcoin being that it lacks anonymity technology is always compliant given the governments may find it more practical to employ chain analysis and the NSA harvesting all internet activity, than to attempt to battle the vast and widely distributed mining resources of Bitcoin at this stage. Whereas Monero and Zcash lacking ASICs can be trivially difficulty bombed to oblivion when the governments (or Klaus Schwab’s W.E.F. cyber attacks) are ready. Litecoin has Scrypt ASICs but high likelihood the miners will be willing to signal OAFC to effectively subvert any users attempting to use the base layer anonymity features (or those features will be reverted with the ANYONECANSPEND restoration of the Nash equilibrium on both Litecoin and Bitcoin).

If for example privacy and fungibility-of-money are an essential need that these out-of-control insane leftists cum banksters are unable to allow, then I posit that PoW and PoS won’t be able to provide it.

This is the banking system Jeff Snider is talking about. It has grown more powerful than anything else. And now it must control everything to prevent it from disappearing in the Minsky Moment.

maybe the fixed supply is a crucial property to acieve their end? (as close to gold as possible) i have always toyed with the idea of BTC having dynamic suppply but only very minimally inflationary at worst (something like less than 2% ) to have some penalty for hoarding and to stimulate velocity

shelby3, {11/1/22 5:36 PM}
{In reply to Qanon}
Did you not comprehend? I already wrote that the fixed supply becomes the fulcrum for the ad hoc fractional reserves that will form, e.g. WBTC. Then at the biblical Revelation end game Bitcoin becomes a fractional reserve system that enslaves us all even much more worse than the enslavement we are in now because it will be global. Right now the non-aligned countries will not be nuked so there will still be frontiers. At the biblical end game there will be no more frontiers on earth.

It is trivial and obvious that BTC becomes a fractional reserve system at the end game. 51% control over the mining is a given, because the power-law distribution of fungible resources is inviolable since antiquity.

This KYC shit is new to Western civilization. How can an economy function if users must fear their tokens will be clawed back at any time in the future due to the banning of some upstream transaction that had nothing to do with the current token hodler. On this point FiniteMaz and others seem to have a very strong point.

Bitcoin does not have privacy thus fungibility will not be attacked by the governments. I don’t think any PoW nor PoS altcoin can survive if it has privacy. I already explained why.

Thus I think I must create the alternative to PoW and PoS where there is no way for the government to force OAFC signaling. Because what humanity needs, then nature will supply. I presume humanity needs privacy and fungibility both, not just one or the other. Maybe the world’s reserve currency does not need privacy on-chain, because those either those are public institutions or $billionaires making large transactions with public institutions in the aggregate, or because very wealthy individuals can perhaps defeat chain analysis and NSA snooping.

Or is it the opposite that the sheepeople need to be tracked, monitored and dog tagged? So that the wealthy can control them? Or is it both? The free market astute non-sheepeople need privacy and fungibility and the sheepeople need to be managed? I think the latter applies.

So if such a private and fungible token becomes the foundation of the Internet (and the post-scarcity, post-financialization Knowledge Age) because it is used by those who are not enslaved. And because any fractional reserve proxy (e.g. WBTC) for Bitcoin has repeating bank runs (e.g. the recent LUNA and WETH fiasco) thus viewed a less suitable for an Internet currency (and because of Gresham’s law), then if I named my currency DIB then would WDIB become the new Eurodollar instead of WBTC thus defeating the posited plan of our overlords w.r.t. their diabolical Bitcoin creation?

And what if told you that you can cash out to WDIB tax-free and still hold onto your original DIB!!

> “fckng genius elite. always many steps ahead. this is a profound idea.”

Who is one step ahead. 😉🤞

So how do I incentivize the FOMO and fractional reserve bubbles that have been on Solana and Ethereum to come over to my blockchain and altcoin?

Perhaps the key is greater scalability and actually building out the mechanisms that can scale a social network which I described in my recent analysis of the Elon Much Twitter buyout?

A key feature can also be that DIB is deflationary, whilst WDIB isn’t. Making it superior in some ways to BTC for saving and also WDIB for transacting. All in perfect harmony with Gresham’s law.

So now I described my upcoming altcoin plans.

Elon Musk will not allow Twitter to become a “right wing nuthouse”.

(jump to pg. 114)

Also they try to coax him on pg. 109 – 110 (after a prior attempt in the March discussion) to chat with FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried after he is informed that Sam donated massively to the Biden campaign, but appears he was not that interested and never replied publicly to SBF on pg 113.

Note on pg. 112 is the email address of Musk’s family office mgr Jared Birchall, if I really need to connect to Elon.

On pg. 111, Elon confirms that Jack Dorsey isn’t interested in returning to Twitter because he is focused on Bitcoin at Square.

WHY TWITTER ON A BLOCKCHAIN WILL FAIL

Okay you asked my opinion so I will give it to you frankly. Twitter on a block chain is not happening. Privately owned Twitter, running a traditional, centralized client-server system with slightly better polices might happen. Meanwhile Tiktok has grown very fast globally while Twitter has stagnated.

To scale an application of Twitter’s size and real-time posting volume onto a block chain is not viable in 2023, probably not even 2024. There is not a block chain that can handle that now. So someone would need to invent it. And for what? None of them have any clue how to make that and keep it decentralized. And nobody has a clue how to make a decentralized consensus protocol that is out-of-reach of the government (certainly not proof-of-stake). And altcoin proof-of-work will be difficulty bombed into oblivion when Klaus Schwab is ready.

You had better be thinking about how you are going to protect your wealth from CBDCs, shutdown of the banking system, etc..

The world you know will nevermore soon. Twitter is just a clown show. Has no bearing on anything important.

If there will be any successful foray into like what I had envisioned starting roughly in 2015 then it will start very small and grow organically being improved along the way to meet the increasing scale. But in reality you would not want it to scale too large too fast in real-time applications like Twitter because that is just impractical and it is picking the fruit from the sky instead of the low hanging fruit of easier applications that are more viable. You would not want to compete with Twitter.

It was a massive amount of work to scale up Twitter. They are not going to suddenly scale it up on an even more implausible foundation of a block chain. They would need to throw away and redo much of their infrastructure.

Eventually someone much more experienced will talk some sense into Musk. Elon is uber high IQ but he has made many blunders in areas he lacked experience.

Well, yes. They did. They did it by making the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make:

They decided to rewrite the code from scratch.

I was prescient (well it had already happened but I just read it tonight). Exactly what I wrote is what happened, including my points about Twitter on a block chain being implausible anytime soon:

(jump to the bottom of pg. 109 where Musk admits exactly what I had explained)

“Blockchain twitter isn’t possible, as the bandwidth and latency requirements cannot be supported by a peer to peer network, unless those "peers" are absolutely gigantic, thus defeating the purpose of a decentralized network.” — Elon on Apr 25

This was after he was introduced to Anthony Krose on pg 104, who was the CTO of blockchain company Matter Labs:

So presumably after he spoke with Krose and other experts he realized the engineering difficulties.

Actually I disagree with Musk’s conclusion that supernodes necessarily defeat the purpose of a decentralized network, at least as it pertains to censorship of immutably recording data on the blockchain. And my insight hinges on my novel (not PoW and not PoS) consensus algorithm. In my design the supernodes (which provide the scaling and low latency) are replaceable, permissionlessly stood up and chosen (routed to) by the users’ individual nodes organically, such that any malfeasance causes the users’ peer-to-peer (p2p) nodes to route to a different, properly functioning supernode.

Musk may have a valid point w.r.t. the government cracking down on large server farms preventing them from hosting certain data. We can get around that w.r.t. to recording data on the blockchain by only posting to the servers the hash of the data so that servers aren’t hosting the actual (offending) data. Offensive data (presumably a smaller fraction of all data) might have to be p2p routed through client nodes which would thus slow down the arrival of such data. A distributed hash table can be used to find which client has the hashed data already. Won’t be egregiously slower yet occasional hiccups delays.

As I wrote previously nobody has scaled this yet on a blockchain so Twitter couldn’t do this from day 1. But I do think the technology can be developed but it would be more reasonable to start from a small userbase and grow it organically and refine the technology as it scales up over time. Thus it is not the right match for Twitter in 2023 as Jason Calacanis lists their priorities for 2023 on pg. 106.

Somewhere in those published tweets mentioned Twitter’s Bluesky research project to Elon, although he didn’t react.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_(protocol)

(discussing the scaling issues)

That Bluesky research proposes federation instead of a blockchain, but federation is yet another “might makes right” paradigm so would fail into centralization. Federation is essentially what Gab is doing when they essentially monopolized Mastodon, thus proving that federation fails to centralization.

I am trying to tell you that I have spent years thinking about this. And I am the only person on this planet who really worked through the pitfalls blocking actual and not fictitious (e.g. PoW and PoS) decentralization. If you don’t want to believe me then fine.

The second Bluesky document essentially points out that the scaling problem is more for “global conversations” user actions (aka updates) that need to be propagated to thousands of users per action, e.g. Likes. Whereas actions that only need to update to one or a few users scales easily with p2p.

Nevertheless I believe global scale updates could propagate via p2p gossip network with clever design and engineering. Twitter’s design bottleneck is ostensibly top-down coordination of data consistency. Instead compress the hit-vector, globally propagating only 32-bit Bloom filters updates which means a false positive hit-rate of 1 in ~2million — a client will only request the entire update unnecessarily for only 1 out of every 2million cached items. This also decentralizes the hit computation resources to the clients!

Yet that still requires propagating a compressed 32-bit data item to every user for every user action. Which does not scale analogous to BitMessage which doesn’t scale because every message is propagated to every user. Instead need to propagate updates to coordinating nodes which manage the update lists for groups of users. This hierarchy could still be highly decentralized and permissionless. Ephemeral trust but misbehaving coordinating nodes could be outed probabilistically and users would switch.

Thus I hope you can understand why I say to scale Twitter or any large social network decentralized on a blockchain requires some clever engineering and design which apparently nobody has done yet.

I am OBVIOUSLY the man for that job.

(Elon Musk Has TOP SECRET Plans for Dogecoin in 2023 💥🚀 | Altcoin Daily)

> “Isn't Doge too slow to handle all of Twitter's transactions?”

Layer 2 on Litecoin might scale but HTLC channels (e.g. Lightning Networks) centralize into Mt. Box nodes because of the liquidity routing problem. So what is the point then if right back to a fiat system in effect? Actually in the end game proof-of-stake and proof-of-work also centralize because they are “might make right” (for the canonical chain) and the power-law distribution of wealth is undefeated since antiquity. Perhaps I am the only person on the planet who has a technological solution in mind.

> “Inflation rate makes doge unrealistic just like fiat”

Distinguish between store-of-value (Bitcoin) and the transaction currency. Gresham’s law applies.

> “Imagine not knowing dogecoin is merge mined with Litecoin 😅🤣”

Imagine not knowing the merge mining makes the piggybacked chain trivial to COSTLESSLY 51% attack if its contribution to the miner’s reward becomes less than the reward from shorting and 51% attacking, because the miner’s don’t harm their ongoing revenue source in that case unlike for a naked 51% attack. In short, merged mining is stoopid.

shelby3, {11/1/22 7:22 AM}
Note on pg. 112 Elon noted that Twitter is not yet able to monetize video:

Reason is because advertisers are risk-adverse to Twitter’s politicization:

Some media agencies said that Twitter’s user experience necessitates the additional restrictions. “Twitter is a conversation/conversational platform,” Lillian Ehrmann, a director of social activation at the media agency Essence Global, wrote in an email. “With that comes the inherent risk for bad actors to detract from reasonable conversations and debates.”

Youtube actively censors to satiate advertisers, even employing a very difficult to deal with automated A.I. and/or Bayesian filter on comment posts. Which means a very high percentage of comment posts are rejected. Whereas tweets are rarely rejected because if so the platform would become much less useful. Everyone hates posting YT comments because they are so frequently censored, but YT is not primarily used for commenting but for viewing.

So Elon has proposed to advertisers to implement more finely tuned matching something which sort of sounds like a variant of the decentralized curation model I proposed in 2016.

Elon is also immediately added a feature to attach “fact checks” from users, which was another of my ideas. Can’t tell if that is some sort of A.I. algorithm or human intervention. My idea was to allow more of a free-for-all with decentralized curation. Whereas appears Musk’s idea is for much more uniformly curated form (less chaos, ostensibly more centralized).

Elon is playing with fire. I doubt that the powers-that-be could tolerate this without self-destructing. The advertisers are members of Klaus Schwab’s cabal and their social climbing, bootlicker minions — and social climbing is the root aspiration of Marxists. Elon Musk seems to be unaware that this is already a war (and one that will cause the smug political elite to panic again as they did when Trump was elected) and that the real plan is to nuke the West within a couple of years. Elon seems to think the nation is salvageable and thus I conclude he is out-of-touch with reality. The powers-that-be have all the real power. It is going to be interesting to see the demands they place on Elon if he wants Twitter to retain a revenue stream.

Musk has owned Twitter under a week and big names are already leaving the platform, complaining about a hate surge, and calling for tighter regulation

Advertisers are closely watching Elon Musk’s Twitter. They can’t like what they see so far

I noted from the Twitter discussions that Elon was considering a premium subscription model similar to Telegram’s.

Users should be able to choose their curation preferences. Advertisers should be able to choose which curation preference they want to be associated with.

I suspect that Elon is not going to be swayed by the pressure from advertisers and thus the call for increased regulation. But how will they powers-that-be push through legislation in the U.S. at least, if they don’t rig the mid-term elections next week. Thus I think Elon has some time to try his ideas.

But when the cyber attacks hit and the WW3, his centralized systems will probably fail. Perhaps only p2p decentralized systems will remain resilient. In other words, the powers-that-be will resort to extraordinary measures. And actually they knew they would have to. Klaus Schwab’s W.E.F. has been presaging the coming cyber attacks.

(And the includes Telegram, Signal, Protonmail and Whatsapp also which are centralized and thus vulnerable to cyber attack).

Comment:

I commented on that YT video (Everything You Know About the Economy is Wrong with Jeff Snider):

The first 30 minutes is correct. The latter part about the Fed not injecting liquidity is BS. Also the Quantity Theory of Money is nonsense. Public confidence is liquidity, which is essentially what he is saying.

> “Get Jeff Snider and Greg Foss on at the same time please, they differ in opinion in some key areas and it'd be awesome to see that discussion!”

@Adam there is nuance to these issues. Jeff is essentially correct but the notion that the Fed doesn’t inject liquidity if even only by injecting public confidence is somewhat lost in his explanations (although it is the generative essence of what he is explaining). Also I have seen some explanations of how commercial banks have been able to convert their bank reserves to Treasuries and buy the stock market. The machinations are complicated and I will not claim I understand it all, because there is much complexity such as discounting, time preference, etc, etc, etc..

> “@Dan Ripoll beat me to it, Booth is Mr. Deflation and would offset Snyder perfectly. Why do ppl downplay deflation? If we can live with 2% deflation for 50 yrs, lets try 2% deflation for awhile and live within our fing means! That would be a true market that forces honesty, saving, hard work, etc.”

@Schlemmer Maul deflation is good for people who pull themselves up by their bootstraps and are net savers. Deflation is bad for the economy overall in the sense that often demands for economic expansion exceed savings. And debt bearing interest compounds thus can’t be serviced without an expanding money supply. But too much debt leads to misallocation and then we end up in a situation like we are in now where we have spoiled rotten entitled people who vote to have the government and Fed cooperate to continue to spoil them. Moral hazard and misallocation of capital are some of the drawbacks of an inflationary system run amok as they always do. As you can probably discern there appears to be no solution. Monetary and political systems (along with empire) run in cycles and we are headed directly for the Thucydides trap. I could write much more about this, but I am not an expert. I am a computer programmer and my interest is coming from the perspective of being a blockchain developer and an autodidact investor.

@rcreazzo1 decentralization could in theory disintermediate the inviolable power-law distribution of fungible resources (i.e. wealth) in the context of a post-scarcity, post-industrial civilization wherein economic expansion takes place in the knowledge accretion (what Eric refers to as the ‘senses’) activity that isn’t hamstrung by the need for debt-based expansion (c.f. my 2012 essay AnonyMint Rise of Knowledge, Demise of Finance) which creates the cycles of societalcide Economic Devastation between deflation and inflation: 1:12:55 (Everything You Know About the Economy is Wrong with Jeff Snider) The paradigm of relying on debt expansion for avoiding deflation (i.e. deflation is hoarding) has to be managed by trust and fiat eventually run amok. In a post-scarcity utopia based in knowledge accretion an Inverse Commons gift culture emerges (c.f. Eric S. Raymond’s Magic Cauldron) in the presence of abundance. Humans can end-to-end, unbounded degrees-of-freedom coordinate when they’re seeking truth, wisdom and not enslaved by funneling through the albatross of debt and the artificial scarcity that the old world banksters (e.g. Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, et al) are scheming to impose on society.

@Gavin Clayton mainstream economists won’t admit that it’s impossible to calculate one rate of price inflation for the entire population because it would blow up the entire public confidence in the institutions that prop up the debt-bubble based fiat system. For as long as society needs debt to expand the economy, then the society needs to be ignorant about what fiat systems must pretend to be able to do so as to prop up the public confidence necessary for their existence. I can’t believe Eric is too dumb to realize this. Unfortunately Bitcoin is a deflationary monetary system that will send us back to depressions every decade like the 1800s.

@Ram caiD the point is that Bitcoin is not a replacement. It is John Nash’s Jstor paper Ideal Money enslavement of the nation-states. As Eric pointed out at 1:12:55, we will be back in the 1800s with an economic depression every decade.

“The US banking and investment cartels will never allow that kind of competition and that is why something like WeChat that is fully featured will likely never happen. Apple Pay is the best most Americans can hope for.”

Mark Zuckerberg wants to build WeChat for the West

“WeChat could become the platform of choice on smartphones because China had no dominant app stores. Facebook must contend with incumbents such as Apple and Google. Since you can’t sell microtargeted adverts against encrypted messages your algorithms cannot see, the new platform will need a fresh way to make money. For all its ubiquity, WeChat is no cash cow (Tencent, its owner, makes most of its revenue from online games). Maintaining Facebook’s fat margins would require new revenue sources, such as charging businesses to contact users or taking a cut of any purchases, as credit-card issuers do.”

Elon Musk reportedly wants to launch a new Twitter product called 'X' which he projects would have 104 million subscribers by 2028

“Product "X" would launch in 2023 and bring in 9 million users within the first year, the pitch deck estimates.”

Musk Wants To Buy Twitter To Launch His Mysterious "X" App

“Many people are speculating that X is likely to take influence from the all-encompassing “super-apps” of Asia that feature social media, instant messaging, and digital payment services all in one place. The idea is basically to have a single app that provides all the services of Twitter, Whatsapp, Netflix, PayPal, Uber, and Uber Eats.

The biggest and best known of these is WeChat, a wildly popular Chinese instant messaging, social media, and mobile payment app that has over 1 billion users. You can pretty much do everything on WeChat, from chatting with friends and sharing images to booking movie tickets and paying at a street market.”

{…}

“Twitter would bring in $15 million from a payments business in 2023, according to the document, which would grow to about $1.3 billion by 2028. The company’s payments business today, which includes tipping and shopping, is negligible.”

“With all of these changes, Mr. Musk anticipates he can lift Twitter’s average revenue per user — a key metric for social media companies — to $30.22 in 2028 from $24.83 last year, according to the document.”

Comment:

(The REAL Reason Musk Bought Twitter Is SO MUCH BIGGER | Mark Moss)

Mark yes but I might supersede his efforts with my own, but likely in a synergistic outcome. Elon has according to the court records of his tweets (at least for the near-term, unless they plan some radical departure from Twitter’s IT design) abandoned social media ON A BLOCKCHAIN (because stated that it’s technologically incompatible, yet I disagree), thus his efforts will only be about payments on a blockchain which falls well short of what humanity needs.

I am trying to figure out what Elon Musk’s realistic plans for X.com could be? He can’t do payments with DECENTRALIZED crypto because no blockchain can scale yet (at least not decentralized if we are talking about proof-of-stake or HTLC payment channels like Lightning Networks) and merchants don’t want crypto. And he can’t generate income from a DECENTRALIZED payment system, unless he launch he own token and blockchain which I highly doubt he could attempt. He could aggregate payments in fiat and stablecoins but this would probably not get massive uptake because he would be seen as competitor to many. There are presumably many alliances especially with the embedded lefists, banking cartels, etc..

His pitch deck emphasized $10B in subscriptions (and $12B in advertising out of $26B total) by 2028 and only $1.3B from payments. Also X.com users would only grow to 103M by 2028 from 9M in 2023, i.e. less than 20M a year adoption. Apple Pay is generating $1B annually on 500 million users globally which is 5% of all credit card transactions. So I don’t think Elon is about to do anything that radical. He is ostensibly essentially going to take a page from Apple’s playbook given that Google has fumbled their opportunity to do so on the Android mobile OS.

So the decentralized on a scalable blockchain market will remain wide open for the taking with Twitter’s verification and subscriptions providing a big boost for an onboarding strategy as I already wrote.

Elon’s plans lack the fact that users will be drawn to a platform that they feel they own shares in, i.e. the Fat Protocol (c.f. also my post as X ← ironic username…‘fate loves irony’ — Musk) which I was in discussion with FiniteMax about in January 2019. This was clear to me from reading dozens of user reaction tweets to the Twitter poll asking how much users were willing to pay monthly for a verified blue checkmark subscription (including some other feature upgrades). 80% of users rejected paying anything and many vehemently resented the idea of paying for a status symbol so they could enrich the $bilionaire Twitter investors. Some of that could be resentment that Elon is taking away their progressive, leftist walled garden, but certainly not all of the resentment was political.

Addressed to: Lane Rettig @ Spacemesh

Lane,

I’m overqualified for your core dev job. I want to quickly draw your attention to some oversights in your recent roundtable discussion with Nic Carter and Peter McCormack.

P.S. I originally proposed the idea of proof-of-disk-space in 2013 on my Bitcointalk thread, Bitcoin – The Digital Kill Switch:

I have studied your PoST {proof-of-spacetime for disk space proof-of-work for which my idea was prior art}.

Sent the following email to Peter McCormack…

You will be able to detect from this copy of my comments that I’m an expert. I was formerly @AnonyMint on Bitcointalk.org.

You need to pay attention to the following. I deserve at least an email acknowledgement. (P.S. you ostesnibly did not understand Eric Weinstein’s point but that is an orthogonal issue. He appears to be maybe outside your communication range, i.e. the holistic concept seems beyond your current conceptualization of the issues.)

56:20 the 30 – 40% Ethereum transactions are being OFAC censored and MEV exploited!

(Censorship & State Capture with Nic Carter & Lane Rettig | What Bitcoin Did)

Do any of you soi-disant ‘experts’ have any clue about the anyone can spend restoration {of the Nash equilibrium from the status quo disequilibrium} attacks coming against proof-of-work blockchains that implemented the pay-to-script-hash loot and fooled all the sheep into moving their tokens to non-legacy protocol addresses? {This game theory economics in inarguable and I have done more to explain this publicly than anyone else. I can refer you to a Gist document.}

Nic Carter is incorrect to equate proof-of-stake cost of capital to proof-of-work costs. Proof-of-stake lockups of capital are self-referential thus there’s no objectivity ex post facto aka Vitalik’s weak subjectivity. Whereas proof-of-work burns external resources thus the longest, mining-difficulty chain is objectively verifiable ex post facto as the cumulative work is stored in the published block proof-of-work solutions. Additionally stake is captive and not permissionless, i.e.the tragedy-of-the-commons if the OFAC threatens all stakers to censor stake which didn’t signal OFAC. Whereas proof-of-work ASICs can be moved at-will to a different chain and/or legal jurisdiction (although that’s not an ironclad defense against a well coordinated global OFAC crackdown on “money laundering”). EDIT: Lane covered this subject later in the video and Nic pointed out this is a theoretical problem.

How do you expect us to take you seriously with this idiotic nonsense? Man-made climate change is an age-old hoax dug up to fool idiots yet again. Why Climate Change is a Fraud by Martin Armstrong (archived). Do you guys even comprehend how stupid you are? “This is one of the oldest methods to brainwash a population known to ancient history. The high priests had discovered the cycle of the heavens. They would pretend to turn the sun dark, for they managed to calculate the cycles when an eclipse would take place.”

Many People will Starve & Die from Freeze While Fighting Global Warming by Martin Armstrong (archived)

> ““Regulators” can’t regulate Bitcoin. What am I missing here?”

Bitcoin centralizes after some decades also. The power-law distribution of fungible resources (i.e. wealth or even ASIC mining farms) is undefeated since antiquity. With 50+% of the mining resources then Bitcoin is just as dystopian as Ethereum’s proof-of-stake signaling OFAC. Crypto is not your friend. It was put here to enslave us. Nic Carter’s diseconomies-of-scale are actually the reason that mining farms are ultimately subservient, e.g. nobody really owns anything but is allowed to possess and operate it with permission from the State and the State is power-law captured. For example, given that mining is a low-margin business, which mining farms will find it cost-effective to evade OFAC edicts?

> “My understanding is that dank sharding actually bypasses the broken-composability problem of normal sharding. And it's a lot simpler than full on sharding.“

I don’t understand why MEV can’t be solved with cryptographically secure randomization (employing the Fiat–Shamir heuristic) coupled with blinded pre-commitments by validators? This seems to be compatible with bidding for block space as well. This seems so obvious to me. Surely these geniuses considered it? What gives? The malevolent validator could only stall (aka denial-of-service) or publish multiple pre-commitments, both of which lack plausible deniability (i.e. are discernible behaviors) given a network synchrony bound assumption. EDIT: 1:14:19 Lane mentions probing techniques as an attack vector {c.f symbolic fuzzing}, but I’m suggesting secured randomness, which is categorically distinct from privatizing the entire contract state.

Dankshading doesn't rectify the MEV problem because the proposer and builder might collude. I’m utterly shocked that some cryptographically secure randomization wasn’t instead pursued. Vitalik is not this stupid. What is going on?

We need to try to form unity (with all Americans) around common values such as the right to privacy and not panopticon edicts which will attempt to use the fabricated WW3 to arrest and imprison anyone who attempts to have any privacy, e.g. they are now arresting any programmer if they even contributed to some open source code base that is later used by someone in N.

How could you possibly trust a CCP which based on ruthless power? Paradigmatically ruthless power and word-of-honor are incompatible. How many times do I have to repeat that ONLY RUTHLESS power can capture a power vacuum. Is there something not functioning properly in your brain. The propaganda they drilled into your head since birth and the cultural need Chinese have to believe their enslavers are their paternal tribal leader, seems to be too dense to be penetrated by obvious logic.

Having stated clearly why the CCP must project power to the first island chain to be consider a stable superpower (just as the U.S. has had the Monroe Doctrine which Russia challenged in Cuba and Venezuela and China is now challenging by buying the controlling interest in the Panama canal), I do not know if they have the military capability to accomplish it. Do they have the lift capacity to move sufficient infantry troops? Yet if China has the largest bus factory in the world then how is it they can not produce more military ships than any other country in the world? (I think they do)

Comment:

Armstrong replied that we will be forced by our relatives and compatriots to separate and fight. That the divide is too ideological and entrenched. That the priests know how to divide us by the ignorance of the progressives coupled with some of their pet ideological issues such as abortion.

As for abortion, it was immediately after aborting my third child that the Lord took my right eye. And then I proceeded to convince my sister in 2001 to abort her first child with her drug addict, sexually abused, psycho husband because I thought she and the child would be forever stuck with his abuse. My punishment was banishment to the Philippines in 2003 and a destroyed career and life, along with losing my sister to murder by that asshole in a faked suicide in 2006 because she finally tried to leave him. I hadn’t studied females biological psychology at my younger age — motherly instinct would likely have given her the resolve to leave him much sooner.

Abortion is evil. And females need to be careful what they push for because technology is disintermediating them. We already have IVF so economically female eggs (and surrogate wombs) which are rarer than male sperm are being reduced to a marketable commodity. Recently a synthetic mouse womb and egg were fertilized. If men move to a post-scarcity society where females have no rarity nor relevance to force irrationality, then will men stop fighting each other and learn to seek mutual knowledge accretion instead? Remember in the Bible that Eve was the tempted one who messed up the utopia.

(Division of Pure Hatred)

Comment:

Additionally the Chinese prefer to win Sun Tzu-style. Meaning they would much prefer to capture a power vacuum with bribes, kompromat and economic domination than to some risky infantry war of attrition. This is why I suspect China has been a key player in actually bribing the West to commit societalcide — the CCP had the incentive, resources and cultural mindset to do so.

I had postulated in private discussions that if ever they try to take control of the Philippines and Indonesia during the upcoming WW3 that there is no plausible way they could inject enough Chinese infantrymen to garrison a soldier on every farm to control those 300 million people. They would rely on cooperation of bribed local officials. There will be no lack of aspirant little Hitlers in the Philippines. I observed that one of the outcomes of Asian society where the group turns against anyone who attempts to rise his head above the tips of the grass and dare to speak out on issues in public and also the crab bucket mentality of Asians, is that they have repressed, subconscious desire to enslave the society that has enslaved their freedom-of-expression. Asian culture is a form of mental illness from my perspective as a Westerner, although Nietzsche’s conceptualization of the weakness of Western psychology is the religion of the supremacy of rational humans over nature and that progress is linear, highly ordered not cyclical nor random. This for example is why I know Elon is very astute when he remarked, “fate loves irony.”

Nietzsche’s ressentiment was a critique on Western idealism as faked (even nihilistic) idolization of pity or narcissist, self-impression of suffering (e.g. Jesus on the cross), which apparently where our extreme affinity for entitlement derives. Note how Asians view individual suffering as routine and not worthy of special attention. I suppose Nietzsche was really driving at our neurotic Western moralizing. And observe we are doing it again with all this irrational virtue signaling about the flu tests and man-made climate change hoaxes.

I written numerous times why super-sentient AI and Kurzweil’s Singularity is FUD nonsense.

Elon is no where near controlling the world. At best he is trying to game the system to achieve his quest to advance humanity and knowledge. Simple as that.

Comment:

I’m trying to set aside distractions but I guess the Elon Musk phenomena is worthy of some discussion.

1. The antichrist allegation has an unimpressive track record, e.g. various Roman Catholic Pontiffs, Mark Zuckerberg, and others have been alleged to be.

2. Elon Musk displays Jesus-like traits which are thus definitionally antithetical to the antichrist who must be the opposite of Jesus in every facet. Because this must be an obvious choice of humans to choose all the attributes opposite of Jesus as their leader. Elon routinely expresses genuine love for humanity, has sold all his possessions to live a frugal life of focused purpose (Jesus said sell everything and walk with nothing), has even (e.g. on the Babylon Bee interview) expressed admiration for Christian virtues. Also the Antichrist may be a symbolic concept not be a literal human. Elon Musk has spoken about how he had an existential crisis in his youth after reading German philosophers and found inspiration in the Hitchhikers Guide the Galaxy. It inspired him that being on a continual, DYNAMIC quest for questions is (the meaning of life and) more important than the STATIC possession of the actual answers.

“Singer Grimes, who is in a fluid relationship with billionaire Elon Musk, spoke about what it was like to live with the richest man in the world. The singer said that Musk, despite his wealth, lives below the poverty line.”

“It got to the point where I asked myself, ‘Can we not live in an unsafe house worth $40,000? Where the neighbors can film us, there's no security, and I have to eat peanut butter for eight days straight?'”

My Quora comment:

The point is not whether he actually lives in poverty, but whether he prioritizes use of his money for status symbols and any other unnecessary conspicuous consumption that doesn’t improve his efficiency in his technological quests. Elon is a driven, purposeful man, who isn’t wasting his fortune on silly luxury for status signaling. He is literally following Jesus’ virtues by sacrificing himself to great extent for what he believes to be greater humanitarian and existential causes and important questions. Elon is a philosopher in engineer’s skin. Elon is many things. Elon doesn’t even know who Elon is. Elon and I have the same birthdate. Am I fanboy? I am looking at his actions and accomplishments, from one (lower IQ) fellow software engineer nerd to another (with a higher IQ).

“Being one of the early employees at Tesla I was interviewed by Elon as part of his policy although the middle management position that I was joining perhaps really did not require it. After having finished describing my work experience and why I can be of value to Tesla I asked him a similar question. My question was whether when he embarks on a project/business doesn't the huge hurdles, bureaucracy, high barriers to entry etc cause him to pause? I also added whether he doesn't see these things like others do. His answer was what sold me on Tesla, since it was still a fledgling startup back then. He said he looks at 2 things before embarking on anything. 1) Can it be done? (That by doing it we are not breaking any laws of physics) 2) Is it important? Is it important enough for humanity that it would make a major dent. If the answers to both the questions is ‘Yes’ then he goes ahead with it. Simple. I was floored!”

“This guy is trying the very best any human could possibly do to save our species - and make the world a better and more interesting place.”

Comment:

“I worked with Elon for 2 years, spent a lot of time with him and helped him start SpaceX. It's hard to know for sure but by comparing Elon with most other bright people that I have worked with, I would put his IQ at 160-165. He is very smart but he is also very determined and hard working. Together with his intelligence and vision, hard work is what makes him so successful. Did I mention that he works very very hard? Yeah.”

“In Australia we call it “tall poppy syndrome”. When an individual rises above the pack, they automatically become a target for disgruntled people who don’t like to feel outdone.

Elon Musk is on the autism spectrum, and his Aspergers Syndrome, although not impeding his formidable intelligence, does make social interactions difficult for him. So here we have an incredibly high achiever who seems to have difficulty vocalising what his intentions and motivations are, often pausing for what seems inordinately long periods of time as he formulates an answer to a question.

Is it any surprise that some will take this as signs of duplicity? After all, what’s the likelihood that a giga-rich individual actually wants to do good things? I still find it puzzling that his most vehement detractors still seem capable of either ignoring all his achievements, or even worse, paint them as some sort of decades long con job that has lured us into a false sense of security.”

Comment:

Well, he’s without-doubt a world-class genius and a workaholic…but he also has Asperger Syndrome {…} he frequently gets distracted by some interesting thought and stalls in mid-sentence. He has a very poor “social filter” and often says things aloud that he really should be saying quietly to himself.

{…}

He’s also very committed to free speech and openness - and can’t seem to cope in situations where he should just say nothing

{…}

He often works 120 hours a week {…} you need to mentally multiply by three to allow for “normal people” working 40 hours.

Also - for the richest man in the world - he doesn’t seem to care too much about money {…} He did, for a while go crazy buying big houses

{…}

He now lives in two “tiny-houses” - one in Austin and one in BocaChica {…} Essentially, it’s a place to sleep and shower and not much else.

The only thing of significant luxury value he owns is a private jet

{…}

A while back, he did take some serious advice about his health - and now has a full-time nutritionalist {…} He never really chooses what to eat - he just eats whatever is handed to him! He’s known to sleep on a sofa at the office

{…}

He’s very ‘driven’ by the goal he set himself soon after graduation from college to devote his life, 100% to “saving humanity”…which is a great idea, but can get a bit weird when pushed to the extreme.

His interactions with multiple ex-wives and girlfriends is a little predictable {…} I think enough women are interested in his money - but given that he doesn’t do much more than work or sleep - they are probably not going to be too happy about him in other regards. However, he now has a bunch of kids - and does seem to involve them and love them as much as any other father.

{…}

People find it hard to believe that all of that money isn’t somehow corrupting him…but it seems that it is not.

{…Henry} Ford understood that the ‘machine that builds the machine’ is the important thing. They both work crazy hours and Ford was notorious for sleeping whenever and wherever he felt like it.

{…}

Do you want to hear the craziest thing about Elon Musk?

In 1949, Wernher von Braun (the famous ‘father of rocketry’) wrote a science fiction novel in german called “Marsprojekt”. It was never published in his lifetime - and it was entirely forgotten until 57 years after when it was discovered among his papers, translated into English and published in 2006 under the title “Project Mars: A Technical Tale.”

Well, in the book, the people who colonize Mars elect a leader…what name does Von Braun choose to the this man?

“Elon”.

{…}

There is literally no way Musk’s parents could have known of the book - because he was born (and named) in 1971 - long before the book was rediscovered and long after Von Braun died.

"-The Twitter takeover is a NWO promotion to try to get conservatives to return to Twitter, where they can be tracked by the AI. AI models have failed on conservatives due to lack of reliable data. News is of course highly controlled by the Cult. Why would they allow any free speech at all on Twitter, unless they are doing a Mao style CCP honey trap operation to target people saying things against the Cult/NWO?"

btw, IMO Elon Musk is a perfect man for a role off an Antichrist (listen to interview with father and Vatican exorcist Malachi Martin from 1998 ...)

{In reply to Qanonymous}

3. The cited Henry Markov article is attempting to construct a conspiracy narrative which on deeper inspection falls apart. For example Elon denied knowing Ghislaine Maxwell.

Elon Musk has been critical of Bill Gates and even spoke out against E.S.G. stakeholder capitalism, “ESG is the Devil Incarnate.” Elon values high integrity over political a particular orientation. Elon’s alleged support for a NWO, global government, Universal Basic Income, Carbon tax and the COVID vaccines can be a combination of some ignorance, the political realities of his corporate predicament (remembering his long-range goals are philosophical), understanding anarchy doesn’t scale (not yet at least) thus pragmatism towards the necessity of optimizing statism, the current world order being quite regressive for billions of humans who do not live in the developed countries. He may have other reasoning. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he wants it to cascade into a 666-like, 1984 dystopia by design. Maybe he’s a bit reckless or maybe he has reasoned out the probabilities more astutely than we fearful, “troofer” conspiratorialists. Again maybe he is playing 3D chess as he did with Twitter. Or maybe Elon thinks throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks is not a problem, i.e. that life is a journey and nobody is in control so just jump on any interesting ride.

I don’t like the coercive push to electric vehicles. EVs might be suitable to clean up air pollution in crowded cities, but otherwise are just an irrational, virtue signaling status symbol. Elon is probably stuck promoting his companies regardless. But consider that billions want personal transportation who do not yet have it. And thus cities are the transportation challenge for sustainability of nonrenewable fossil fuels which was Elon’s altruistic motivation not alarmist climate change (Elon is a typical Cancer zodiac male hyperfocused on threats, a trait which I share yet I am more skeptical than him about for example his fear of threat of A.I.. Also ostensibly he had to pick challenges which are suitably difficult for his intellectual capabilities).

But what matters to me are simply his actions and whether I can find synergies. I talk my own sphere-of-interest book. If Elon by just continuing to implement his plans for Twitter can indirectly help me do what I think I need to do to help humanity, then for me I am not going to worry about whether he is part of some evil cabal. Because even if so I still believe humanity benefits from the aforementioned indirect assistance. The laughable claim that TPTB need Elon to bring conservatives back onto Twitter so as to be able to obtain more data on them, belies the fact that the damn NSA records everything we do and can even turn our mobile phones on remotely. That claim would seem to be a defense mechanism planted by those who invested in that woeful Truth Social, that has the most to lose if their self-aggrandizing Orangeutan mascot leaves to return to Twitter. I fault Trump more for Operation Warp Speed and normalizing hopium and kick-the-can instead of ripping the threads out as Elon might do with Twitter. None of us are omniscient but Trump doesn’t know how to mea culpa!

I take issue with the premise that wealthy families could groom their offspring to rule the world in some deterministic manner. If the universe was so well ordered then I have explained in the past that the movement of time could not be perceived and thus we would not perceptibly exist. Elon is against or conflicted about his father’s (lack of?) virtues — I can relate. He apparently struggled financially when he migrated to Canada because he ostensibly rejected his faster. Again I can relate. What do you think was the driving factor for my impoverishment in the Philippines? Later his father came back into the fold providing an initial $28k invest in Elon and his brother’s Zip2 startup company. I don’t know where Elon got the money to buy that frat house in 1995, but heck if the guy has 160 I.Q. then he could probably figure out a way.

Comment:

“Musk's connections to NASA come via Mike Griffin, the former head of NASA with ties to In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture investing fund {…} Elon's name is derived from Hebrew El Elyon (God), Elon is not the anti-christ, but he will get people to accept The Mark.” — Henry Markov

Musk is the “perfect target” because he isn’t suspicious that he’s the pawn of some cabal (if he even is?) — not that Musk is wittingly complicit. It’s illogical to expect the INVIOLABLE, UNRELENTING advance of technology to stop. Blaming people for a natural advance is scapegoating personal frustration.

Elon states unequivocally that, “I’m not Jewish.”

The fact that he has partied hard (even he and Grimes were doing hard drugs according to one social media personality that claimed to have visited them) and hangs on in wealthy social circles (e.g. iirc, attended a party thrown by the Google founder Sergey Brin during the pLandemic). It’s quite expected that someone of Elon’s IQ is intellectually lonely and would have eclectic interests. Also anyone who wants to change the world and needs capital, would hobnob with those who can help.

Elon said, “the woke mind virus is a world without humor.”

Elon spoke in the BabylonBee interview about coming to Canada with only a few $1000s in travelers checks. Elon is pumping up Tesla presumably to fund his major life goal. So presumably his calculus that making humans an interstellar species is more important than any cost incurred. That the means justifies the end. The central character in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy had to escape earth for a new frontier to save humanity.

Elon Musk’s 50th: Taking a look into the billionaire’s wealth – from emeralds to SpaceX and Tesla

“In 2018, Musk revealed that he planned to finance SpaceX’s Mars plans by selling a “major” stake in Tesla at some point in the future.”

This entire notion of all wealthy Jews being evil and part of some grand conspiracy seems to be an oversimplification. For example, the geniuses Curtis Yarvin, Eric R. Weinstein and his microbiologist brother Bret are Jews yet extremely devoted to the well being of society and humanity. Although none of the three are rich nor desire to be, but they are also not driven enough to change the world in a way that requires large capital.

There is some credence to the fact that devout Jews are obligated to give to the church as much as is requested of them, c.f. video IN GOD WE TEST. This would seemingly build strong bonds and networks of mutual support. So it’s no wonder that some Christians (or even just agnostic members of Christian society) would perceive them as a scheming out-group that manipulates Christians. Also when Christians had banned usury in the middle ages the Jews had no moral obligation to not offer loans at interest which were in high demand. I believe there is also some truth to some evil in-group signaling against goyim in the written Talmud. Politicized, institutionalized Zionism may have corrupted this even more. Remember the biblical narrative that Jesus came to challenge the institutionalized, priestly Pharisees.

We humans reach for completely nonsensical, simplistic explanations that we can wrap our minds around. Because they seem expedient towards some notion of what a solution to our fears could be, e.g. the comfort-blanket insanity of the thought if we just exterminated the enemy then we would have eternal peace on Earth.

Comment:

Sent a follow-up email to Peter McCormack…

Again Peter it behooves you to fully comprehend the posited ANYONECANSPEND attack:

←READ THIS CONCISE COMMENT

Some idiots on the Internet consoled in their faithful sheep something about a worthless nothingburger bag they will be left hodling:

(the Pied Piper Andreas Antonopoulos)

(ostensibly some Bitcoin Core developer community idiot)

(randodiot)

Those “bitcoin maximalists” who follow the Power Rangers at Blockstream and impostor Bitcoin Core deserve our ire. They constantly obscure the truth from the public.

The basis for an underlying animosity in my introductory email could be because you exhibited an analogous blind immune mechanism in your discussion with Eric Ross Weinstein. For example I explained why Satoshi employed double-hashes and still have not received any recognition:

I was the original prior art in 2013 on Bitcointalk for proof-of-disk-space which SpaceMesh employs yet never received any acknowledgement from the community. Anyway I don’t need validation but you all surely don’t want egg on your faces at the end game. I hope you snap out of the in-group-think, bromance psychosis:

P.S. what Eric was ostensibly urging you to be less ambivalent to that hard money is a harbinger of misery, failure and enslavement by the 1% (and you and I are not the 1% so stop being so smug about Bitcoin maximalism). He was urging you to discuss the holistic paradigm of this social consensus we know as human civilization. Bitcoin is an instigating trojan horse, but not the entirety of the technological and social transition underway.

will (re-?) watch the peter mccormack + eric weinstein now. i think i saw this interview before but have not taken note of the part you are talking about. when we were talking about richard hex many months ago i forgot to mention that peter and richard got into a hostile debate about hex

What would be more straightforward is if McCormack invited you onto What Bitcoin Did to explain for yourself! I often listen to the show (pretty sure including the Weinstein interview) and have thought that previously.

peter looked like went into the interview already having the conclusion that hex is a scam. peter tried to be nice at first then it became ugly when peter could not hold it anymore then all the name calling and cursing ensued

I will inform Peter that you’re also a Brit.

Only if I can find the time to get rested up and make sure I have all my points about the attack well rehearsed. I can’t visualize myself doing that soon as you know the chaos I will be under for the next couple of months at least. I suppose I could just wing it.

Perhaps he could ask Nick Carter to study what I have written about the attack and provide a summary of the argument and the counter-arguments. Some of the key rebuttals to the counter-arguments might be overlooked. Maybe get Nick Carter and/or Lane Rettig and I on the same round table discussion? I doubt AsciiLifeForm from the Trilema logs would be willing to be interviewed.

Yes, the second option might work.

shelby3, {11/4/22 6:10 PM}
{In reply to Qanoner}
Peter’s interviews flow well until his ideological blind spot turf is threatened. Then he can go off-the-rails. The discussion with Eric Weinstein could have deteriorated significantly if Eric had not been exceedingly patient and unwilling to be drawn into a mudslinging contest. I probably share Peter’s criticisms of Hex. Nevertheless we should explore concepts outside our intransigent beliefs. There’s something to learn from Hex. The brilliant person would know how to get Richard to contradict himself without Richard knowing it. Keep Richard engaged while exploring the tradeoffs of Hex in a logical manner. Anyway I did not watch the video so I can’t draw any conclusions based on your summary.

Tangentially Eric could have potentially been more direct in his explanation of what he wanted to chat about. Peter asked him several times to explicate. Also Eric was too focused on the narrow point of attacking junk science. The broader point is that Bitcoin by itself doesn’t move the needle on a better functioning society — and may even turn out to be a dystopian outcome. There is a rich discussion around these points.

Quibbler, {11/4/22 6:10 PM}
{In reply to shelby3}
"I will inform Peter that you’re also a Brit."

When I first listened to him - not long after his notorious making and losing of a million on bitcoin - we had about the same level of technical understanding (rudimentary), but since then he's moved somewhat ahead of me.

shelby3, {11/4/22 6:12 PM}
{In reply to Quibbler}
Well you presumably understand the ANYONECANSPEND attack and he ostensibly doesn’t yet.

There is ostensibly so much outside of his simplicity bias towards one monetary reserve currency to rule them. I find some value in his channel. I wish him the best.

In the long term he will have short changed the followers of his show if he doesn't take the opportunity to allow debate surrounding your theories/assertions.

Crypto researcher suicided for finding a decentralized solution to the central bank Triffin Dilemma?

(Crypto Billionaires End Up "DEAD" After Exposing The Global Elite...WHY? | Chico Crypto)

My YT comment, “Publicity is best defense for a known dissident.”

Tornado.cash plot thickens. Remember Brock Pierce who helped shill the laying of the $4B EOS turd ICO? Do some powers-that-be want to prevent the launch of any decentralized viable stable coin?

The new Ethereum-backed RAI token’s price is not pegged to anything but it should retain a stable exchange rate—hopefully.

“You don’t need to peg to anything in order to be stable. The most important thing to understand is that DeFi can and should be detached from the fate of the US Dollar. RAI is a first step in that direction {…} could potentially become a native unit of account for the Ethereum ecosystem, known as the Ethereum Standard.”

Stablecoin RAI launches, a pure, decentralized alternative for DeFi

“Our aspirations for RAI, however, are more profound — if RAI fulfills its purpose within DeFi and starts to earn global adoption, it could prove to be a viable solution to the Triffin Dilemma {c.f. also Wikipedia}, and bring credible neutrality to the administration of a stable global reserve asset.”

{…}

Soleimani added that the redemption price, also known as the initial target price, does not really matter because, “RAI only cares about relative stability.”

Instead of being redeemable for (i.e. pedded to) a specific asset, this stablecoin design can modulate an interest rate (in a positive or negative multiplicative direction) to minimize the volatility. Even volatility w.r.t. a basket of assets could be targeted. Also the inelastic expansion of credit and money supply could be targeted.

Did Nikolai Mushegia find the holy grail of monetary science?

bank.dev/vox

“Our claim is that way should be the lever for monetary policy, and can be adjusted in a formulaic way, while fee is a per-collateral-type risk parameter, like an insurance fee, and should not be used as a monetary lever. Central banks get trapped by the ‘zero bound’ when they abandon the use of an external reference asset, which leaves only the fee as a policy tool. But this interferes with the function of fee as the insurance fee {…} This mechanic is crucial to ensure that the system debt and credit are balanced. A naive solution causes more debt to exist than credit units, which leads to a sort of infinite debt treadmill that requires ever-growing loans to sustain, and is never repayable {…} The key is that in a traditional system, to have a negative borrow rate while balancing debt and credit, the central bank must transfer a quantity of units to the borrower, which must be obtained somewhere. This means either the bank has reserves, must print credit from thin air, must dilute and sell its equity, or it has to take credit units from holders. This last point is what some use to advocate for cashless systems and the ability for the central bank to take quantities of credit units from holders.”

“Under normal circumstances Rai would be an inflation hedge {…}”

Why stablecoins are such a threat…

The U.S. Will Weaponize The Dollar By Backing It With Bitcoin

The United States government is likely to back the dollar with bitcoin in order to protect its status as issuer of the global reserve currency.

{…}

Some may choose to adopt a quasi-gold standard like Russia recently has. Some may even choose to adopt the Chinese yuan or the euro as their local medium of exchange and unit of account. Some regions could copy what the shadow government of Myanmar have done and adopt the Tether stablecoin as legal tender. But most importantly, some of these countries will adopt bitcoin.

For the countries that may adopt bitcoin, it will be too volatile to make economic calculations and use as a unit of account when it’s still so early in its adoption curve.

Despite what the consensus narrative is surrounding those who say, “Bitcoin’s volatility is decreasing because the institutions have arrived,” I strongly believe this is not a take rooted in reality. In a previous article written in late 2021 analyzing bitcoin’s adoption curve, I outlined why I believe the volatility of bitcoin will continue to increase from here as it travels through $500,000, $1 million and even $5 million per coin. I think bitcoin will still be too volatile to use as a true unit of account until it breaches eight figures in today’s dollars — or once it absorbs 30% of the world’s wealth.

For this reason, I believe the countries who will adopt bitcoin, will also be forced to adopt the U.S. dollar specifically as a unit of account. Countries adopting a bitcoin standard will be a Trojan horse for continued global dollar dominance.

{…}

This Bretton Woods III framework correctly describes the issue facing the United States: The country needs to find someone to buy their debt. Many dollar doomsayers assume the Fed will have to monetize a lot of the debt. Others say that increased regulations are on the way for the U.S. commercial banking system, which was regulated to hold more Treasurys in the 2013-2014 era, as countries like Russia and China began divesting and slowing their purchases. However, what if a proliferating stablecoin market, backed by government debt, can help soak up that lost demand for U.S. Treasurys? Is this how the U.S. finds a solution to the unwinding petrodollar system?

{…}

But, what if the Fed wants to crash the global debt markets? What if the U.S. recognizes that a strengthening dollar causes more pain for its global competitors than for themselves? What if the U.S. recognizes that they would be the last domino left standing in a cascade of sovereign defaults? Would collapsing the global debt markets lead to hyperdollarization? Is this the only economic wild card the U.S. has up its sleeve to prolong its reign as the dominant global hegemon?

{…}

For thousands of years, money has been backed by trust and gold, and protected by ships. However, in this millennium, money will now be backed by encryption and math, and protected by chips.

{…}

Zooming out, I stand by my original thesis that we are in a new monetary order by the end of the decade. However, the events of the previous months have certainly accelerated that already-rapid 2030 timeline. I also stand by my original thesis from the 2021 article surrounding how bitcoin’s adoption curve unfolds because of how broken the current monetary regime is.

I believe 2020 was the monetary inflection point that will be the catalyst that takes bitcoin from 3.9% global adoption to 90% adoption this decade. This is what crossing the chasm entails for all transformative technologies that reach mainstream penetration.

{…}

Deglobalization will be the perfect scapegoat for what was always going to be a decade of government debt deleveraging. The monetary contractions and spasms are becoming more frequent and more violent with each drawdown we encounter. I believe the majority of fiat currencies are in the 1917 stages of the Weimar hyperinflation.

{…}

I believe we will see hyperdollarization followed by hyperbitcoinization.

Comment:

There’s needs to be use case for something like Rai, otherwise it won’t be favored over other alternative stablecoins.

Although the stablecoin market cap grew from $6b in 2020 to $200b in April 2022, RAI has remained relatively small. There are two general views on RAI.

The first is multifactorial because there is no clear use case; at a capital efficiency level, it is no better than some of its competitors; there is no hard peg; and in general, the relative complexity surrounding it makes it difficult for users to justify its use, as well as for other projects to integrate RAI over other stablecoins.

The second view is that RAI is small by design. RAI is focused on being a resilient and fully decentralised stablecoin without counterparty risk at the expense of having slower growth or adoption than its competitors. Slow and steady wins the race.

To date, RAI is a unique asset with no comparable alternative. However, there are systems that share certain characteristics with RAI, such as the exclusive use of ETH as collateral.

So, if you are ready to expose yourself to the dollar, Liquity {aka LUSD} offers a very relevant alternative which also has the merit of being totally unstoppable (which is not yet the case with RAI): the contracts have no administrative function, exactly like Uniswap V1/V2. However, there are still the oracles (necessary for a loan service) and the associated risks.

Some of the key podcast quotes:

Comment:

I assert it’s impossible for any centralized corporation to eat the entire global financial system. This can only be done with decentralization on a blockchain. WeChat in China was a special case that can’t be globally replicated with centralization. Elon Musk can’t accomplish his vision for X.com without someone solving the (as of yet still) unsolved decentralization scaling and censorship-resistant consensus problem.

> The point is that the users of Twitter do not perceive that they own the site. They perceive they are helping the $billionaire investors, not themselves.
>
> This is what we can change by putting social networking on a blockchain. But we need to do it correctly and not make the mistakes Steem(it) made.

{…}

> Is Elon planning to employ holding crypto and blockchain stablecoins to implement payments while overcoming U.S. bank and other forms of resistance? So the scaling will be accomplished centralized, as if X.com will hold the balances like an exchange does? It will be like RobinHood for payments? If Elon will not go full blockchain and decentralization for everything then he will face hurdles as all who came before him found out… {…} Social media app users have no desire and quite possibly are opposed to financial services offered by those social media giants.” {…} Mark yes but I might supersede his efforts with my own, but likely in a synergistic outcome. Elon has according to the court records of his tweets (at least for the near-term, unless they plan some radical departure from Twitter’s IT design) abandoned social media ON A BLOCKCHAIN (because stated that it’s technologically incompatible, yet I disagree) {…} He can’t do payments with DECENTRALIZED crypto because no blockchain can scale yet (at least not decentralized if we are talking about proof-of-stake or HTLC payment channels like Lightning Networks) and merchants don’t want crypto. And he can’t generate income from a DECENTRALIZED payment system, unless he launch he own token and blockchain which I highly doubt he could attempt. He could aggregate payments in fiat and stablecoins but this would probably not get massive uptake because he would be seen as competitor to many. There are presumably many alliances especially with the embedded lefists, banking cartels, etc.. {…} Elon’s plans lack the fact that users will be drawn to a platform that they feel they own shares in, i.e. the Fat Protocol (c.f. also my post as X ← ironic username) which I was is discussion with FiniteMax about in January 2019. This was clear to me from reading dozens of user reaction tweets to the Twitter poll asking how much users were willing to pay monthly for a verified blue checkmark subscription (including some other feature upgrades). 80% of users rejected paying anything and many vehemently resented the idea of paying for a status symbol so they could enrich the $bilionaire Twitter investors.

Users switch social networking apps for newer features. But when those newer features can be offered as customization addons to the unifying blockchain based substrate then users switch without leaving the token behind. Thus the tokenomics group-effect and decentralization (the data is open, not in a walled garden) subsume the separate centralized apps we have now and force them to become Dapp customizations.

Comment:

> There’s needs to be use case for something like Rai, otherwise it won’t be favored over other alternative stablecoins.

And worse yet is that stablecoins won’t be adopted as currencies for payments, except in places where the extant banking system is derelict. Stablecoins are pretty much relegated for now to FOMO pump and dump exchanging for cryptocurrency tokens.

A booming Stripe shows digital payments aren’t about to be replaced by blockchain

Blockchain and similar technologies have been touted variously as faster, safer, and/or cheaper than more traditional systems. But TransferWise says it has been better off without it. “Using the pretty tried and tested modern technologies to offer the services securely, that’s all that’s needed,” TransferWise CEO Kristo Käärmann said recently in an interview. “If anything, blockchain at this point slows it down or makes it more expensive.”

The only way we could possibly get people to use a cryptocurrency stablecoin for payments in the developed world given the extant well functioning banking system, is for there to be demand for using Dapps and the centralized payment system to be unable to interact with Dapps. An app isn’t fully decentralized if it requires payments to route to a centralized merchant account payee to receive payments. Also how can a decentralized contract know that a centralized payment was received? A centralized oracle? Every centralized oracle introduces miner/maximum extractable value (MEV) risk that can even potentially cause a blockchain to irrevocably fork.

But it’s a hen-egg dilemma in the sense that there is very little capital in the cryptocosm stored in what amounts to a spend-oriented checking account. Everyone is in crypto for the FOMO. And thus there is very little incentive to produce Dapps that would involve crypto payments.

The only way to surmount this is to tie the FOMO into actual decentralized social networking income streams. These can be payments to influencers for example from the Dapp. Again influencers are on the lookout for supplemental income. They can HODL this income for maximum upside if the believe in the tokenomics group-effect.

IOW, someone has to invest in the hard programming and marketing work to create the hens who will lay the ongoing eggs.

The token value accumulated into such an ecosystem is its inertia. But if there are no hens to lay ongoing eggs, then that value can do nothing but speculate on FOMO pump and dump.

I just provided an example of where decentralization (i.e. Dapps on a blockchain) is necessary not just because of government oppression (as in the examples in the blog cited below) but because of walled garden oppression by corporations in their normal competitive mode.

Resistant protocols: How decentralization evolves

•Mainstream decentralization emerges in response to the law when a certain use of centralized technology is denied
•Decentralization is best used sparingly, obfuscating the technology which cannot possibly exist as a centralized system
•If you want to know if something should be decentralized, look for informal decentralization which reveals demand for a formal system
•Decentralization is part of a bigger playbook of legal tactics used to keep technologies alive despite the best efforts of a hostile government
•Decentralization doesn’t work in a vacuum, mainstream decentralized systems require a degree of activism to keep the system working

{…}

Link-only mp3 websites of the late 90s don’t fit the image we have today when we think of decentralized technologies: it was hyperlinks and direct downloads. Still, the shift from central hosts to link-only websites tells the full story of decentralization. When the law points to a piece of centralized software and demands modifications that users don’t want, technologists split that software into parts and obscures the objectionable features the legal system understands.

The currency of the future is personal data (archived)

Both businesses and governments are beginning to tap the power of shared distributed ledgers to eliminate the difficulty, complexity, and cost of sharing the data sets that power their businesses (and eventually, their AI). Distributed ledgers are similar to blockchains, but users have known identities, and there is an expectation of compliance with laws and regulations. These applications could be made to run atop a decentralized system of personally owned data, but most enterprise blockchain pilots today focus on protecting current profit models and reducing operational expenses, not returning power to consumers.

Through an unlikely series of cosmic events, Quartz has obtained a Future of Finance Friday dispatch from the, well, future: The story was written by a bot named Garth and datelined New York, Sept. 15, 2028:

Mozilla pushes PayPal to make Venmo transactions private by default

As Mozilla explains, “millions of Venmo users’ spending habits are available for anyone to see. That’s because Venmo transactions are currently public by default — unless users manually update their settings, anyone, anywhere can see whom they’re sending money to, and why.”

{…}

Do Thi Duc analyzed more than 200 million public Venmo transactions made in 2017 by accessing the data through a public API. This allowed her to see the names, dates and transactions of Venmo users. She found that a lot could actually be gleaned from this data, including users’ drug habits in some cases, as well as their relationships, junk food habits, location, daily routines, personal finances, rent payments and more.

In other words, while the individual transaction itself may seem harmless, in aggregate these transactions can be very revealing about the person in question.

Twitter’s design bottleneck is ostensibly top-down coordination of data consistency. Instead compress the hit-vector, globally propagating only 32-bit Bloom filters updates which means a false positive hit-rate of 1 in ~2million — a client will only request the entire update unnecessarily for only 1 out of every 2million cached items. This also decentralizes the hit computation resources to the clients!

> Yet that still requires propagating a compressed 32-bit data item to every user for every user action. Which does not scale analogous to BitMessage which doesn’t scale because every message is propagated to every user. Instead need to propagate updates to coordinating nodes which manage the update lists for groups of users. This hierarchy could still be highly decentralized and permissionless. Ephemeral trust but misbehaving coordinating nodes could be outed probabilistically and users would switch.

Minimum viable decentralization (archived)

If we’re building a decentralized application, how much should we actually decentralize? Decentralization has an important relationship with the law. Historically, the winning strategy has been to decentralize the legally sensitive parts and then otherwise build a normal application.

When it comes to decentralization, a lot of well respected people have very different goals. I think a lot more people are unclear what their own goal actually is.

•Are we starting from scratch and building the new internet?
•If we’re building a dApp, is it ok for it to be browser based and depend on DNS?

You’ll get a lot of strongly worded answers to these questions, but many people will talk theoretically about censorship resistance and security without acknowledging that these goals are often fundamental tradeoffs against usability. We need to think about decentralization in the context of how differences in complexity, latency, and user education shape user adoption. This isn’t just a theory, this approach accurately models which decentralized protocols and applications of cryptography actually saw mainstream adoption in the past.

As I covered in my post “Resistant protocols: how decentralization evolves”, the history of file sharing shows a pattern of people moving en masse to new music platforms based on two criteria:

Minimum viable decentralization — Is the technology clever enough that Holywood can’t just kill it immediately?
User experience — Like any software, users flock to the product that gives them what they want

Freenet: Anarchy?

The creator of Freenet said it is designed to be totally anonymous and unstoppable, a platform for anarchy:

{…}

Comment:

Freenet is an ambitious project, trying to provide better anonymity than Tor and a more distributed file storage system than IPFS.

Freenet never took off during the file sharing revolution. The main users today seem to be privacy and decentralization enthusiasts. The combination of strong anonymity and distributed file storage mean it can be pretty slow, sometimes taking over a minute to respond to a request. The project started in 1999 and is still in development now almost 20 years later. While the goals of the project are respectable, it also makes the fundamental tradeoff between privacy, decentralization, and usability pretty clear.

{…}

If the public was scared of the RIAA’s campaign to fine the average Joe thousands of dollars per song, why didn’t people dive deeper down the decentralization and privacy rabbit hole? While people were intimidated by the lawsuits, maybe deep down people realized that the actual number of people being sued was so small that the probability of being sued was tiny. It’s possible a meaningful amount of people tried out I2P forks of popular file sharing applications and weren’t happy with the speeds.

{…}

After a change in US law though, Reddit shutdown all of the darknet market subreddits along with other communities to do with prostitution, theft, and legally selling guns.

These communities didn’t die, they just followed the law of minimum viable decentralization and moved to an identical reddit clone hosted as a Tor hidden service called Dread

Interesting to note the naming. Reddit = read it, Dread = decentralized read (it).

“Keep it simple, stupid” is a crucial design principle for any product. For the decentralized world, one form of this is “keep it centralized, stupid.” Obviously something has to be decentralized, but choose wisely. Freenet, iMule, darknet markets, and Dread provide good examples.

Anonymity only really matters to users who are seriously at risk of being identified and realize that anonymity is crucial. Operators of hidden services get this and that is why Dread and almost all darknet markets are on Tor. A few use I2P, but for the most part the difference in anonymity isn’t worth the drop in users. On darknet markets, a lot of vendors understand that using PGP is important because they spend a lot of time worried about being raided and sent to jail. End users don’t understand this as much, so PGP usage varies for casual buyers. People using file sharing services to pirate music and movies probably aren’t actually concerned about being sued by the RIAA or MPAA, so providing anonymity will just seem slow and it might be better to just recommend a VPN.

{…}

It is definitely possible that in 10 to 15 years we’ll have mastered decentralized technology such that usability and user education don’t introduce incredible amounts of friction. Looking at the last 20 years though, it seems like every little bit of decentralization needs to be carefully administered because the side effects are strong and can easily produce an unusable experience. If you’re trying to build a decentralized product and attract users in the next few years, figure out what your minimum viable decentralization is so that you have a hope of building a minimum viable product.

My point is we need to start perfecting the decentralization now so it will be ready with minimum friction for users when they are going to eventually need it.

If a centralized service like Reddit is popular for something that seems like it should be decentralized or anonymized, you’ll have a hard time attracting users until the law forces them to find a new home. When users are searching for a new home, every little bit of confusion makes a big difference and if you can limit the friction to just installing Tor and dealing with a bit of latency then you’re in a good place.

Sometimes conscientiousness is counter-productive:

Behavioral psychology is insightful.

“People just love to look at pictures,” says Piskorski. “That’s the killer app of all online social networks. Seventy percent of all actions are related to viewing pictures or viewing other people’s profiles.” … The biggest usage categories are men looking at women they don’t know, followed by men looking at women they do know. Women look at other women they know. Overall, women receive two-thirds of all page views.

Blockchain Platform Plays

Software platforms are great businesses. The more dominant your platform becomes, the greater the virtuous cycle. If everyone is building on iOS and Android but not Windows Mobile, that is a massive leg up for Apple and Google and a very difficult hurdle for Microsoft.

If blockchain technology ends up being a cornerstone of the future internet, what are the platform sized opportunities waiting to be capitalized on? Here are the predictions I’ll explore in this post

{…}

•An explosion in standards and concerns about trust might drive people to dApp marketplaces
•Decentralized protocols are new foundations for building products. This new foundation will open up the opportunity to make an AWS for the blockchain

{…}

There are crucial platforms that lots of consumers interact with on a regular basis:

•Operating systems
•Web browsers
•Mobile app stores
•Gaming devices (Xbox, Playstation)

{…}

Platforms have a virtuous cycle that reenforces market dominance

People skip building for Windows phone because iOS and Android cover most of the market.

In Bitcoin, value captures you

There are a lot of incentives to flock to blockchain technology. I think one reason is that people correctly identify that the blockchain is obviously going to be a platform if it is successful. Getting in early on a new platform can be valuable. Even if you don’t build the platform yourself, you are still part of the new frontier and if you build expertise you’ll see opportunities early.

It is hard to build different platforms on top of Bitcoin. Since it isn’t turing complete, it can really only do a few tricks.

Comment:

I have nailed down the name of the blockchain and its separate anonymity, stablecoin token name. These are not any of the names we discussed previously. The proposed token name is 4 characters, one syllable and it’s not CRED. The blockchain name is 5 characters, two syllables and it’s related to DeFi.

I am strongly considering not being anonymous for the blockchain project. Instead only for example the anonymity technologies that have caused Tornado.cash developers to be arrested would not be coded under my name. However, I want to avoid the project being classified as a security by the SEC so I don’t want to become as strong of a personality as for example Vitalik. Also don’t want to whirl away my scarce time on speaking and interview tours. Also I don’t consider myself to an exceptional speaker. It would be really great if there were others that are capable of speaking well and inspiring audiences. For them to grab the baton and expect to receive token bounties / grants for the capable who grab the initiative without waiting for me to manage, guide and spoon feed them.

Still trying to find a good name for the social network. I think maybe I just found that name after listening to the Elon Musk interview video I just posted. Pay attention to what Elon said about the most important achievement ever for mankind. Skip to ~25+ minutes into the video. Then you will understand why Elon loves DOGE so much.

Comment:

> Then you will understand why Elon loves DOGE so much.

An X can be an anonymous signature, a kiss (as in xoxo, thus xxx is all the way to sex), crossing something out (exed), checking something off and a blank(ed) slate (i.e. tabula rasa).

This could lead the way to some potential integration with Musk’s x.com domain plans. Perhaps eventually we partner with him. I see he’s experiencing significant centralization hurdles already, as Twitter has been down (for me at least) most of the past 24+ hours.

noun: tabula rasa; plural noun: tabulae rasae

an absence of preconceived ideas or predetermined goals; a clean slate.
"the team did not have complete freedom and a tabula rasa from which to work"
the human mind, especially at birth, viewed as having no innate ideas.

Origin
Latin, literally ‘scraped tablet’, denoting a tablet with the writing erased.

Comment:

Should the social networking name be…?

{…}

It’s not descriptive of (thus not pigeonholed to) a particular APPLICATION feature:

- Facebook: user profiles
- Twitter: “short inconsequential bursts of information”
- Reddit: “read it” discussion
- Whatsapp: “wazzup”
- Instagram / Pinterest: share photos
- Telegram / Discord / LINE / Viber(ate) / IMO (instant msg online): messaging
- Tumblr: tumble through jumbled (microblogging) bits of information, aka tumbleblog
- LinkedIn: professionals career-oriented networking
- Quora: q&a consensus (quorum), “Questions or Answers.”

Rather it’s descriptive of the key GROUP-EFFECT tokenomics “feature” coupled with that social networking should lift humanity. How will those myriad of messaging apps differentiate themselves? Features? Whereas a GROUP-EFFECT subsumes, is unifying and individual choice of any features.

{…} The point is that the USP for the site needs to be uplifting and compelling. It’s difficult to sell negative concepts of anti-establish, freedom, anarchy, etc. with a name such as {…} The {…} idea is a bit more colorful but still attempting a positive spin on a pessimistic and cynical view — pessimism and cynicism are turn-offs. Fear porn is dopamine, cortisol saturation and burnout. Rather we should note that social networking influencers are on social media to earn money. Users would love the idea of being rewarded (by Fat Protocol HODLing) for their contribution of activity on the site that drives value, adoption and tokenomics.

The {…} idea lacks an inspiring USP (unique selling point). Also it’s similar to others that preceded such as Yours and Urbit?

The blockchain enabled decentralization is implied but probably can’t be sold too explicitly as the social networking USP if we want to scale this out to the majority of humans, e.g. (e)Steem was a positivity message unfortunately that tried to onboard with the envy of $1000s earned per blog which I had explained wasn’t sustainable. Instead we need to win over users with features they can’t get elsewhere and a long-term and/or cycles of FOMO view towards tokenomics. Influencers drive it and thus if they are vested then they will bring their flock. Influencers are on the lookout for supplemental income.

We don’t want a name that is so crypto-centric that it confuses or alienates those who are not (yet) crypto enthusiasts, e.g. {…} (although that name could work for a more niche or focused audience of those who want crypto banking for example). Yet we don’t want to entirely lose the connection to tokenomics since inherently blockchain is the underlying killer feature (which manifests in innumerable ways for the users which can’t be enumerated in a name). Yet moonshot is uplifting for humanity in general. Note the etymology for exodus, excel and excel all incorporate root terms that relate to rising up higher (e.g. hillside) when coming out (i.e. the ex-).

The loss of informational access to the individual’s every action is necessary for humanity to even have the degrees-of-freedom (i.e. potential energy) to generate any productivity and wealth. Mircea’s retarded (or myopic) conceptualization (presumably that wealth is a benevolent or at least virtuous steward) actually leads to complete strangulation and poisoning of the well from which any light can emanate. Again that is because wealth accumulation itself is a winner-take-all self-immolation paradigm. Thus humanity can only exist if there are means with which to ameliorate the power of accumulated wealth, at least in the small.

In Thailand, for the whole 2020, there are only 61 Covid deaths. Few months after mass vaccination there is 20000 “Covid” deaths. This year, I believed that there is an explosion of COVID illnesses and deaths, just like Canada. And the authority is keeping a tight lip about it. Look like 2022 disease cycle is driven by the COVID vaxxariants.

{…}

All of the deaths I personally know of are ONLY from those who were vaccinated. The NY Supreme Court ordered back pay to those who were fired for refusing the vaccines stating that the vaccine neither prevented anyone from getting COVID nor spreading it. It was a total PR routine and the politicians merely got their pockets filled thanks to bribes.

The Brazilian military (DoD) were not allowed to access {George Soros’ ballot boxes} source code by the Supreme Court. The conclusion, the fraud is guaranteed, as the lack of transparency. I wouldn’t want to be in Lula’s shoes. Now, everybody knows. There was a huge fraud against Bolsonaro, because nobody voted in Lula. Unbelievable, the world will not recover from this, the thing is going into free fall. When the military cannot do its job, something is very rotten, they have no authority within their own country, so where does this external power or interference come from?

Bolsonaro had to be removed from office the same as Trump, Putin, and Jinping. I have a video clip someone took at the Davos WEF meeting in 2019 where Bolsonaro said these people are insane. The EU organized a rigged election in Italy to get rid of Silvio Berlusconi. The EU rigged the Scottish separatist vote as well. The EU rules that Catalonia has no right to separate.

We do not live in a world where the right to vote is truly respected. Bolsonaro had to go for the WEF was out to remove him because he stood against their climate change agenda. There is nothing we can do about this. It will play out and blow up in everyone’s face.

Earlier today another guy I am trying to help was hating on Jordan Peterson also, accusing him of all sorts of nonsense. Why are you youth so jaded? Because Western civilization is f-cked. But Elon and Jordan are trying to help, as am I. So sorry we do not have time for this nonsense. We are too busy trying to actually make achievements. Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.

EDIT: @Myles Gray apologies for the triple reply. I was not thinking clearly last night because too sleepy. Elon can solve this problem without KYC as I alluded to in my original comment which you had replied to. Simply do not allow use of an extant name and face-matched avatar photo. Face matching A.I. algorithms are highly accurate now. No need to restrict accounts to legal name nor even prevent users from purchasing a plurality of verified accounts. After all the more verified accounts, the more financially viable Twitter will be. When Elon killed the ‘official’ tag I presume he realized this and presume they are now implementing it.

Kari Lake slams Dem opponent for not recusing herself as election chief despite run: 'Major ethical problem'

> sadly this isn't surprising; it extends far beyond AZ gov's race. our Marxist socialist transition as a nation is now underway. and I don’t believe there will be another free and fair election in this country. those days are gone; i think this was our last chance. elections have consequences and that’s what i think fallout for this one is.

> When I went to the polling place on election day what I saw was pure chaos. They took us aside and said the tabulators were not working. One was only working at 75% (what does that even mean). They gave me the option of voting there or going to another polling place. I took the 2nd option. People were very angry and shouting. One was shouting advice to voters. Much like Ray Epps at capitol protest (who BTW lives very close to here). It was hard to tell who was in charge. Many were convinced that Dems sabotaged election day. How many people decided not to vote as a result of this fiasco. Election integrity is dead in Arizona. Ballot trafficking by mail needs to end. Voting delays need to end. Polling places need to get it right the first time. I do not trust elections anymore especially when one of the candidates refused to recuse herself of an election she is in. Schumer predicts the Senate results with pinpoint accuracy. Was it a prediction or a directive to election engineers? I have no trust in this system.

> Do you know how easy it is for someone to say they are bipartisan although they have hidden agenda

> Dems wouldn’t win without fake votes that’s why they live for mail in ballots, No ID, unrequested ballot mailouts, and long vote counts. Without the “ballot stuffing” by any other name Dems would be beaten severely, not winning by larger margins as you suggest.

I should add in case you didn’t tune into the implication, that legacy protocol Bitcoin was never designed to be a payment system for the plebs.

Comment:

> > HEX is a scam because those who staked for 15 years, meaning they can’t even cash out with a 50% penalty for 7.5 years, will likely never get any of their original investment back out of HEX. And HEX was intentionally designed to take advantage of the forgetfulness of humans in that they lose all their investment if they are busy and don’t unstake in a very small two week time window after expiration (and not before expiration because they incurs a 50 – 100% penalty). HEX is also a scam because the origin address received “sacrificed” crypto tokens exchanged for HEX thus obviously an ICO that violates the Howey test for U.S. Securities laws and which probably enabled the insiders to buy HEX from themselves, thus entirely centralizing the token supply and pump-a-mentally creating an illusion of a high market cap and illusion of popular adoption.

> > Here is the follow-up… Which means all penalties are awarded to the insiders. HEX is also a scam because it is promoted as (by implication) equating FDIC insured Certificate of Deposits with an uninsured technology (proof-of-stake) which is going to crash and burn because every proof-of-stake system is entirely centralized and governments can and will be able to crack down on them. Every ICO (including Ethereum) has been insiders buying the ICO from themselves centralizing the token supply. Why do you think Ethereum had sky high gas fees when the oligarchy of mining can compute the smart contracts only once instead of duplicating the computation for the illusion of decentralized miners? Obviously for the oligarchy in control to centralize the token supply. And the power-law distribution of fungible resources in an inviolable invariant in our Universe. Notwithstanding Richard’s condescending, juvenile memes to impress other naive juveniles, who but those inebriated on Richard’s Koolaid are making a fool out of themselves?

@Pulsin'Hexican that is presumptuous of you to assume I don’t know. But what you might not know if that Richard and his insiders were selling the ICO to themselves. Thus your claim of only 10% being staked is BS from the standpoint of the percent of tokens actually held by any fool who is not on the inside. The sheepeople are going to get reamed. It is always that, just FTX in a different flavor and timeline. Don’t attempt to talk down to me, as I have been in this cryptocosm since 2013. I know much more than you realize I know.

My model remains that the master elite (those further behind the curtain than the lackeys Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Soros, etc) are putting those lackeys in a compromised position where they must attempt this dystopian madness (e.g. vaccine passport for travel) to fend for their existence against the implosion of their world order. All for the purposes of leading to citizen revolt, rejection of the nation-state as sovereign and a resultant NWO.

It will be an arduous path forward though for those who are submissive to being collateral damage.

@Paul what the difference between con artist and marketer or politician? Isn't everything in life a scam more or less? I agree with you to a certain extent, but where is the high moral ground anyway?

> @S. Moore No it's not the same and if you believe it is justified on those grounds then you may have the mind of a con artist. Would you consider the Indian guys calling your grandmother and telling her they need her credit card number for an amazon delivery "marketers"? There is a huge difference. A marketer will sell you on a product or service that is actually delivered. If it turns out you didn't need it or would have preferred a different brand that doesn't mean you were conned. A con artist will sell you the product and never deliver it or take your credit card number and rob you. A con artist will sell you magic beans and give you 2 grains of rice. A con artist will sell you a ponzi scheme where thousands of people (likely including you) will eventually lose all your money, pension etc. A con artist will short bitcoin then tell his followers it's going to zero so he can profit on his trade and pump and dump some useless shitcoin on them that he controls and knows has no future and walk off with their money. Hope you're getting the point. If you market a legitimate product or service on behalf of a business it's marketing. If you are marketing an outright con for your own benefit you are a scammer. Richard is knowingly stealing peoples money with a ponzi scheme. There is no value in what he sells and he is well aware. It's a step away from robbing your bank account directly. All those lambos and parties are on honest peoples dime, some of them he will have put in the poor house and possibly even convinced to "invest" (give him) their very pensions. The man's a scum bag. If you're around this space long enough you've seen him flip flop all the time and he is popular enough to do actual harm to the market. I have no doubt he's narcissistic and disfunctional enough to get off on doing it to feel "powerful". He's loke some kind a grown up nerd trying to compensate lol.

@Paul lol have you not read my comments all around under this video. I am the one screaming that Richard is a scammer. I even confronted him and argued with him on Telegram. I am just trying to tell you that almost everything is a scam. The cerveza sickness was a scam of a billion flu tests. Token ICOs are scams (the issuers buy it from themselves over and over again recycling the same funds). Stock markets and IPOs are scams. Everything is scam including government which is the largest scam on earth. Marketers fool people into buying things they do not need, or paying more for something than they needed to. Society is based in the greater fool phenomenon for without it we would probably all just murder each other.

Starvation coming to Europe?

This is one of those unbelievable stories of who Climate Change is being taken to such an extreme, we will unleash a serious wave of deaths from both starvation and coming freezing temperatures without fuel.

{...}

Nobody will address how all the so-called scientists swore we were headed into an ice age during the 1970s. Then Al Gore singled handedly turned it around and said no – it’s global warming. Then to cope with bouts of cold weather, they called it Climate Change so if it was hot or cold they would NEVER be wrong.

{...}

Where the Great Depression was made really “great” because there was also an environmental crisis known as the Dust Bowl. Agriculture accounted for 40% of the Civil Workforce at the time. This is what drove unemployment to 25%. This time, we have politicians deliberately seeking to create a major food crisis all in the name of Climate Change.

It took the Dow Jones Industrials 26 years to ever retest the 1929 high. The Great Depression upended the civil workforce. It took World War II to create employment and to reduce the world population to enable everything to restart from square one. Ironically, it took the combustion engine to replace the labor in agriculture just to prevent massive starvation.

The plan to halve its nitrogen emissions by 2030 in accordance with European Union conservation rules, looks to be far more drastic. To meet that target, the government estimates that 11,200 farms will have to close, and 17,600 others will have to reduce their livestock numbers significantly.

What we must understand is that just back in the 1980s, the Netherlands was deeply concerned that they would be unable to feed its 17 million people. They were on a mission to produce twice as much food using half as many resources in a country that is just a bit bigger than the state of Maryland.

Netherlands policies to expand food production was accomplished and they became the world’s second largest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the United States. Therefore, this sudden attack on farming is more than just a U Turn. With Netherlands as a major food producer being among the largest exporters of agricultural and food technology, this threatens food shortages spreading as a contagion.

The Netherlands produces 4 million cows, 13 million pigs and 104 million chickens annually and is Europe’s biggest meat exporter. The EU is out to upend the economy of Netherlands all for this fictional climate change theory. Netherlands also provides vegetables to much of Western Europe. They have nearly 24,000 acres — almost twice the size of Manhattan — of crops growing in greenhouses that require less fertilizer and water. Dutch farms use only a half-gallon of water to grow about a pound of tomatoes, while the global average is more than 28 gallons.

What is taking place in the Northlands is a very dark omen for humanity. The most efficient nation on earth for producing food is to be destroyed all for CO2. These people will not be satisfied until the death rate rises and civil unrest explodes all as people turn hungry.

Absolute fucking hypocrites while they endanger all the rest of us with their righteousness, holiness spiral into the abyss.

I figured Tim Cook had no leverage. Apple is no Steve Jobs anymore. Apple may have 45% smart phone marketshare in the U.S.., but globally they only have 17% and 70% of U.S. iPhone users vote for the demonrats. Apple doesn't want the PR disaster of being called out for its hypocrisy on aiding the CCP's crackdown on iPhone users whilst illogically being against free speech whilst Elon has committed to preventing hate speech and other ideals that Apple and Tim Cook claim to stand for.

Unfortunately Americans have an affinity towards moralistic virtue signaling. Thus they can be easily manipulated by propaganda.

Kristi Noem plays the wordsmithing, virtue signaling charade with the CNN host who repeatedly tries to entrap her.

(Bash asks Gov. Kristi Noem if South Dakota would force a 10-year-old to have a baby)

(Noem defends no exception for rape, incest in South Dakota trigger law)

Unfortunately the "Christian" fanatic CHRINOs (who refuse to even follow 1 Samuel 8 or admit that Paul was mistranslated into English for Romans) contribute to a lot of this virtue signaling moralizing charade as well.

I would simply say that my personal preferences would have nothing to do with the choice. If abortion is regulated by the decision of the community, then people have the option to leave the community if they don't agree with the rest of the community. If people want Constitutional protection for certain rights, then write their own Constitution and establish their own community. Self-determination is an inherent right in common law.

Americans need become more erudite and resolved on civics. We have severe dearth of understanding of the history of law, the nation, civics education and concordance.

What we have now is more Planet of the Apes with individuals (standing with the corruption and protection of an illegitimate since the Civil War federal government contractor run amok) running amok with their apathetic disregard for diligent oversight and concordance. Severe hari-kari civics irresponsibility is nearly ubiquitous. As well too much ignorant concordance to corrupt, invalid legal constructs due to a dearth of education about the actual history of the nation and law.

I'm back on Twitter although apparently I'm somewhat shadow banned already (ostensibly no one able to find my replies):

I hope you guys have scrolled my retweets including the following. Note towards the middle or end of the first linked video below, the horrific things happening to those who have compiled research and exposed what Google has been doing. They murdered his wife, slit the face of another women's husband, etc.. The United States has been hijacked by a mafia. It is really f-ing horrific and infuriating what is happening.

Uh, yes. As Dr. Robert Epstein told me in this interview, Google “rigs” elections. That Twitter would do the same via the suppression of free speech is not surprising.

I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.

Jim Baker who was Twitter General Consul during Twitter’s collusion with the DNC to rig the 2020 elections, was a key player at the FBI overseeing censorship during the Russia collusion hoax.

(Interview: The Great Reset Will FAIL & EVERY Government will Collapse by 2032)

Skip to 48:30 where he talks about every government will fail over the next 10 years. And he said China's govt will fail on the road to freedom. The Western govts will fail on the road to totalitarianism.

56 minutes he says they are intentionally creating WW3 as the scapegoat for the incoming monetary and financial reset. Which means they will confiscate everything and reset to start over again. Klaus Schwab says democracy is finished. People are too stupid to be entrusted to vote. There is elaboration on why the Klaus will fail.

1:02:30 Martin speculates that Bitcoin was created by Klaus Schwab et al 🤦 Now I know Martin is really clueless about the greater power pulling the strings. Go back to my recent statement of my model.

1:04:00 Great Reset will fail because it is about supression of everything. But Martin does not say is that the collateral damage could be horrific along the way. Marxism is centralization and always collapses into scorched earth.

1:22:00 U.S.A. will likely break up into multiple regions and the collapse of the nation govt.

1:30:00 Martin finds it interesting watching it all collapse. Seems he feels vindicated so he is not really focused on the severe suffering we are going to go through.

1:35:00 thinks U.S.A. will emerge as direct democracy but will no longer be one nation. Sounds a lot like a Networked State on a blockchain to me. I think Martin is clueless about blockchain and Bitcoin. Lol.

Comment:

So the capital controls begin:

Eventually this will morph into needing PoSoFs (proof-of-source-of-funds) for everything, including Bitcoin.

We need to be careful following Armstrong's prognostications because although he is ostensibly correct about almost everything, I can prove he has a huge blind spot w.r.t. to Bitcoin and the overall plan underway for the world.

Armstrong has the correct model that the profligate socialist nation-states are going bust and that the overlords think they can use the scapegoat (of first the COVID hoax and next) of WW3 to control the outcome of economic collapse in the form of totalitarianism and the end of democracy worldwide.

But Armstrong lacks the overarching model of those $trillionaries further behind the curtain that he does not believe exist. Bitcoin was not created by Klaus Schwab to entice us to embrace central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Instead it was created as modeled by famed mathematician John Nash's Ideal Money proposal, to actually enslave the nation-states as the nation-states go bust at the incoming collapse, world war and monetary reset. This has been depicted for decades on the apocalyptic and Lumaniti themed murals on the Denver airport.

The lower-level pawns like Schwab, Soros, Bill Gates are being lured into a trap wherein they will fail whilst the nation-states are subjugated to a NWO where Bitcoin rises as the 1989 Economist Magazine cover story Phoenix to be a world reserve currency that is backed by no nation-state's currency.

Armstrong laments that the return to hard money will result in a scorched earth outcome. Well that is the plan Martin so you better start telling your subscribers the horrid truth about the scorched earth coming. That is what Bitcoin is going to do. Go look at the Denver airport murals.

So folks get ready. We are heading into Economic Devastation. I have been warning about this since 2008. Nobody listens. Nobody prepares. They will gnash their teeth over the coming 10 years.

Why do you think I want to go hide on an island or a rural farm in the middle of nowhere.

And you had better get your savings out of the reach of the Western nations. It is all going to be confiscated.

Note this will proceed in ratcheted stages. Must boil those frogs slowly enough that they do not realize and save themselves by jumping out of the pot. Lol they took vaccines. Lol they think Putin is evil. The frogs keep drinking the Koolaid as the heat is rising.

Realize that banning the transaction of any gold originating from the Russian Central Bank is a pretext ruse for confiscating all the wealth of Westerners.

Think it out. How do you differentiate gold that originated from the Russian Central Bank? Gold can be melted down. There is not traceability for gold. Thus it will be the responsibility of every Westerner to prove that their gold had a traceable origin.

This will devolve over time, as did the SARS and bird flu devolve into the COVID hoax and collapse of rule-of-law. Insanity will reign as the governments will go full Kangaroo courts and rogue I.R.S., etc..

Get your assets out of the West pronto. You have been warned.

Comment:

Katie Hobbs has turned Arizona's government into a mafia:

A legal problem has surfaced as we have moved through the canvass process. We received a letter from the Secretary of State’s office informing the Supervisors that we would be criminally charged with a class 6 felony if we didn’t vote to canvass. That threat was confirmed by the board’s attorney, that a “NO” vote could bring a criminal charge. Some have attempted to label me a coward for not voting “NO”, but as you can see there was really nothing to gain by my constituents from me voting “NO”. There are other legal paths to follow regarding this issue.

The policy of “vote yes to canvass or go to jail” is clearly not what our founders had in mind when they formed our Republic.

Cochise County supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby voted to keep the vote on certification tabled beyond the state deadline, citing distrust in tabulation machines.

The supervisors faced lawsuits and potential criminal charges for their refusal to certify.

On Thursday, Judge Casey McGinley ordered the Board of Supervisors to meet the same day and approve the canvass of the election no later than 5 p.m. He found the board violated Arizona statute and the Elections Procedures Manual by refusing to vote.

Martin Armstrong when will you understand and blog about this from first principles?

Western civilization is on the collapse cycle now. Female prerogative and beta males too empowered (monkey-see-monkey do). The Western females have an important job to do now (aka final stage of socialist/marxist collapse) to cull all the beta males in order to reset the civilization. GTFO of Dodge.

The holiness spiral of Marxism is the cycle of hypergamy assisting the alpha males to destroy themselves along with all the beta males as collateral damage. Nature is cleansing to prepare for the next rise of Western civilization some hundreds of years from now. Patriarchal Asia is rising after 2032 instead. S.America unfortunately matriarchal??

Probably going to be best hiding on a rural farm in a country that won't seize assets.

As the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document Scenarios for the Future predicted in the Smart Scramble scenario, the world is going to explode into Civil War, but the majority of the people in E.U. and U.K. might just lay down and turn out the lights.

I found a photo of Hawaii in the year 2040.

EDIT: damn shame that Hawaii is such a leftist clusterfuck. Anglo-Saxons gone fucking insane. So sad to observe the West self-immolating. And yet most Americans still aren't alarmed. Lol. They going to be royally fucked in a few more years. It is going to be interesting to observe how they react as the reality they want to pretend & extend doesn't exist, slams into them as an immovable brick wall. This is the natural order of things. Decadent idiots have to learn via self-immolation. As if a peaceful attitude while calling for politics of hoaxes, lies and fleecing is not peaceful. Hypocrisy but these people will never admit it. Let's list their fleecing lies:

1. Anthropogenic climate change. This is an unequivocal fraud.

2. Carbon credits economy. This is a 1984 dystopia underway.

3. COVID p(L)andemic. How can people with a high IQ not realize they were entirely duped with billions of flu tests?

So cold this morning in Pattaya, Thailand, perhaps ~60°F (15°C) with the windy effect. This is marvelous. This is the best climate (at this peak of the cool, dry season) I have ever felt. Essentially this is the same climate as Honolulu, Hawaii in the winter. No wonder my mother liked Hawaii so much. But Hawaii also gets a bit too balmy in the summer, except Lāna‘i City, Maui (and even better Kahului) has a year round, cool, dry climate. Oh my, no wonder so many Americans aspire to move to Maui. Kahului, Hawaii may have the most perfect climate on Earth? Okay add Maui to my todo list in the future when Michelle can tour the U.S.A.., and after the U.S. economy collapses into the abyss so property will be cheap again there.

First time I heard Michelle complain about her nose getting dry. Filipinos from Mindanao are not adapted to low humidity and cold (due to the strong wind in this case).

I don't know if she would adapt to southern Baja due to the low humidity (albeit it much better than Arizona due to the Pacific ocean). Northern coastal Peru is mostly arid (semi-arid) but the Humbolt current off the Pacific ocean keeps the relative humidity (R.H) reasonably elevated, so hopefully her lips will not crack as did my ex's in W. Texas.

Comment:

I don't think Martin Armstrong is communicating clearly how the Great Reset will fail by succeeding. He's painting a picture that the majority will rise up and win. I don't think so. The majority are either debt-slaves or impoverished, thus they will not be capable of managing and adopting the decentralization technologies necessary to free themselves from the enveloping 666 digital panopticon.

Instead I think the vast majority will be culled by the Great Reset as it tries to defeat those few of us who are awake, by strangling the enslaved to death. This is quite obvious if anyone takes a moment to analyze the countermeasures to their plan to require digital identity and edict compliance in order to access the Internet...

I think probably we'll be able to employ steganography to hide communication in the massive amount of data that the 666 panopticon needs to monitor.

For example, we can hide it in photos, videochats, etc. That works in sporadic trusted two-way (or even multi-way group) communication, but won't work for broadcast because the recipients aren't trusted (thus they could reveal the secret communication). Thus peer-to-peer gossip networks must be employed for broadcast (e.g. of blockchain updates) wherein peers broadcast only to trusted peers and transitively the communication propagates our to all recipients.

Thus I don't think our access to the Internet can be shut off because we can employ surrogates who comply with their edicts, i.e. some people can earn extra income by being compliant. Of course we need our own decentralized currency to enable this black market economy.

If TPTB are able to collect the data the need without incentivizing as they do now by allowing elective transmission (e.g. social media sharing), such as by having people monitored by smart devices without them knowing it, then steganography could become useless. But this will be a very dystopian world wherein economic activity has cratered due to a dearth of societal interaction. I find it hard to believe that this could be sustained as it's antithetical to the inexorable increase in human interaction via enhanced technology (e.g. airplanes, radio, Internet, satellites).

In that dire case, the next solution would be to employ anti-triangulation technology and methodology to propagate decentralized radio transmissions. For example, highly directional radio (difficult to triangulate) to a moving drone that broadcasts.

Australians have $3.5T in superannuation retirement funds:

Something on the order of $32T in the OECD (or maybe that much in the U.S. alone):

Why don't Westerners realize their retirement "savings" are actually I.O.U.s (I Owe You)? Have they not studied history and not understood these monetary resets always coincide with the economic failure of great bubbles at the Minsky Moment?

Any deposit in any financial institution is not savings, as immediately becomes a promise to repay. If the financial system goes "poof it's gone" or there is a monetary reset with everything frozen and essentially defaulted on (e.g. converted to a 100 year bond), then the retirement contract will be voided and Westerners will have been fleeced back to parity with the developing world.

Our ruling elite want to default on these retirement obligations and euthanize this aging, economically parasitic geriatric population:

"78 million baby boomers will be ready to collect about $40,000 per year for Social Security payments. This will begin somewhere between 2026 and 2030. That’s more than $3 trillion a year to a portion of our population. Congress doesn’t talk about this"

"Fascism is defined as a blending of private corporations, and governments into one function. The WEF is based on Prussian political philosophy. A nation must be ruled by an autocratic elite, and nothing but a submissive, compliant citizenry is acceptable. The founder of the WEF is Klaus Schwab. The perfect scenario under this Great Reset will land all of us in political, social, and financial prison."

"When our financial system is “reset” in this manner, not only will our accounts be controlled by other entities, our financial privacy and financial freedom are completely gone."

"When I connect the dots, I can see that they’re looking to crash our current economic system, so that the new system we go into provides tracking on everything you do. Every place you go. The powers that be want total control. The WEF and the Great Reset idea is an inflection point in our history. Our money is operating their new financial system under their rules and their arrangements."

"Folks, it’s our money in their financial system. If they achieve their Great Reset we will be left with nothing financially."

Comment:

The following applies mostly to Westerners. And also to highly developed Asian countries, perhaps also to Chinese. The problem we have is that we all expect that others of us will not tolerate the confiscation of financial accounts. Thus we are deer-frozen-in-the-headlights unable to act due to excuses we make, because we refuse to accept that we have no normalcy going forward and our only chance is to escape the West now.

Monetary resets are a thing that happens as do Thucydides Traps. They are catastrophic. The U.S. has never entirely experienced either. The closest was FDR's confiscation of gold with the Breton Woods reset of Europe. Only Europe was bankrupt at the turn of the 20th century and capital was fleeing to the U.S.A. as the new economic growth region. Since then the U.S. transitioned from a primarily agricultural economy with 10% share of GDP by the govt to a primarily services and consumption urban economy with govt some 70% of the economy by now (accelerated from ~50% before the 2008 Great Financial Crisis and the subsequent 2020 cerveza sickness p(L)demic false flag psyop).

For example, first they will convert financial accounts to a 10 year bond and limit the rate at which you can withdraw. People will go along because they are still getting something and they think they will still receive all. Then later the bond is extended to 20 years, then 50 years, such that eventually the monthly withdrawal amount shrinks to nearly nothing. At that point everyone is already committed and onboard so all they can do is protest (but then their access will be turned off if they protest as was done to the Canadian truckers).

Westerners will likely not overthrow their overlords and enslavement. Just as the Chinese have not and will not. The Chinese protests were only for measuring how far the Chinese can be abused before they rise up. The 1989* Tiananmen Square incident was crushed by the Chinese army.

* coincidently the same year of the Economist Magazine cover story for the Phoenix which is now Bitcoin was published

The door is shutting yet we are all so complacent. Get your ass in gear guys on my enumerated suggestions. Do not delay. Directly to action. Once the capitol controls start in earnest, it will probably be too late to apply for residency abroad for most people.

The West will self-immolate because it is propped up by a massive debt bubble and because the population is geriatric and their $32+ trillion in retirement "savings" will go "poof it's gone" via expropriation done under the pretext of excuses and hoaxes (aka false flags). Westerners are dumb fucks. They still think for example that talking on social media or voting has an relevance whatsoever.

They should be closing their financial accounts, selling their real estate, and preparing to buy Bitcoin at the temporary bottom incoming, sell the bounce and then buy into the coming late 2023 or early 2024 recession and great financial crash.

There probably will not be a 2024 national election in the U.S.. It could be canceled under emergency powers grabbed by the Marxists now at the helm under the pretext of cyberattacks, threat of nuclear war (do not need actual, just threat to declare emergency powers), climate change escalation by blaming vaccine injuries on the climate, etc.. The West has gone absolutely insane and none of us are powerful enough (nor even brave enough to organize an armed rebellion) to stop the careening into the incoming scorched earth abyss.

Brits and Aussies do not even have arms anymore so any talk of rebellion is mute. Civil disobedience (a la Ghandi) is a joke, because of the Milgram experiment. Westerners are not Buddhists willing to walk on coals for ethical reasons. Westerners are not penniless with nothing to lose.

Remember my model of Bitcoin as the 1989 Economist Magazine cover story. 1999 was the user group post describing Bitcoin's design. 2008/9 was the launch. 2018 was attaining mass awareness with the altcoin bubbles. 2028 will likely be the adoption of Bitcoin as global monetary reserve asset independent of any nation. Those who hodl in legacy format addresses are going to see 10 to 100 times gains from the bottom to 2028.

Comment:

Also physical gold might still be viable outside of the West, such as in possibly in Thailand (where there are many dealers) and/or Peru (where there is a vibrant black market due to the mines and coca trade). But gold in the west or some online account in a vault somewhere is likely useless.

The prior Thucydides Trap was fall of the Mongols/Asia and rise of Western civilization. This will be the fall of democracy and Western civilization. Understand the egregious significance, ramifications, tumult, pestilence and megadeath ahead.

Can't likely survive this within the West intact w\your assets. Likely all assets including land will be expropriated as govt & economy collapse, & the people are herded into 666 digital panopticon bubble cities.

Comment:

Speaking with a 28 year old Moroccan who grew up in Australia (thus essentially an Aussie) in the gym in Pattaya yesterday, he tried to convince me that taking the vaccine wasn't so bad and that he became convinced after he thought he caught COVID. I retorted that how do we know he didn't develop pnuemonia from breathing his own exhale or from the chemicals in the up-your-nose swaps for collecting test samples. He admitted that could be right, but then he reassured by blurting that the vaccines are presumably be improved over time. I unleashed on him a mountain of information, even about Bitcoin and everything.

I noticed all the guys in the gym became very uncomfortable and actually sneering at me. They did not want to hear that their world is about to become difficult and turned upside down.

What we have are most people prefer to choose denial or hopium than that sacrifice. This is the same result as the Stanley Milgram experiment. This is why Marxist spirals into megadeath are plausible, because most people are not leaders. Most people are followers and incapable of dealing with inconvenient and uncomfortable truths.

Note this guy was red pilled and he was lamented how Western women have become completely unmarriageable (for the most part). He liked my theory that as societies become too wealthy the women become incorrigible (i.e. patriarchy dissolves) and this is a necessary creative destruction process whereby the hypergameous females are subconsciously assisting the alphamales in control to cull all the betamales. Then the society resets with an implosion which is imminent in the West.

ALSO THIS IS WHY WE MUST HAVE OUR OWN PRIVATE MONETARY SYSTEM. Else we alphamales (to be alpha we must be ruthless, so lose your qualms at the entrance if you want to survive) we will be impoverished by the destruction of the monetary system of the plebs. Previously it was physical gold but that will not work anymore (or least not where one needs to fly commercially across borders) because it can be confiscated and because in most nations the dealers (i.e. market makers) can be easily regulated by the govt. Physical gold might still work in a backwater like Peru with its intense black market.. Thus enter digital gold, i.e. Bitcoin. Armstrong is simply ignorant of the fact that legacy protocol Bitcoin (not the current official impostor) will become the reserve currency of the world after 2028 (the 10 year cycle of Bitcoin since 1989).

@5aral direct democracy is an orthogonal concept to stipulations on who can vote. Actually the U.S. govt is entirely illegitimate since the Leiber Code martial law of Abraham Lincoln. The original U.S. State Constitutions are still valid and only allow white males owning 10 acres to vote. That is the reality. Direct democracy means we vote on each issue, instead of a republic where we elect people to decide for us wherein they can be bribed and do exactly opposite of what they promise. Also forcing people to amalgamate their choices on disparate issues into one vote for one representative is a divide-and -conquer paradigm. Additionally we may be moving to an opt-in Networked State on a blockchain with constellations non-contiguous in physical territory.

@SwallowPremium, looks like a rally incoming in Q1, then pullback with another rally before a flash crash in Q1 2024 (possibly caused by International War), thus more or less repeating the pattern of 2019. Yet pay attention to updates as the interpretation remains fluid.

@Sick Puppi so says the Dunning-Kruger. Go on believing in yourself, at least you do. Now move on and continue wallowing in the mud with the other misfits known as sheepeople.

@Sick Puppi did you even process the logic that I was referring to the recent soi-disant "pandemic" not being a (viral) plague which was a reaction to your implication by association of a cited resource of the historic Black Death plague. I was clearly not referring to the Black Death plague as evident by my reference to billions of swab tests (obviously no swab tests in the middle ages). Tangentially the Black Death was more of a mass psychosis involving horrid sanitation and blood letting, than actual bubonic plague. The recent cerveza sickness hysteria was another example of mass mania FUD. I could elaborate in great detail but YT would censor it because they do not want you sheep to wake up to the truth.

@Sick Puppi maybe you should read up on the living conditions in medieval cities with cobblestone roads covered with human and horse feces in a stew with the rancid waste that humans just tossed out their front portals (windows & doors), combined with the widespread belief in pagan witchcraft. And the modern sheep feared the Black Death w/o comprehending the reason there's a different name for the scourge than for the bacterial illness bubonic plague, thus failing to understand that the primary cause of megadeath has always been mass human insanity and not pathogens.

@Sick Puppi even the soi-disant Spanish Flu was really bacterial pneumonia caused by Rockefeller Foundation issuing millions of experimental bacterial meningitis vaccines to the soldiers entering WW1, who then spread the bacterial illness all over. Every widespread epidemic in the 20th century was preceded by a new mass vaccination pogrom. Heck polio and the various skin pox diseases were caused by spraying DDT everywhere. As soon as that was phased out the illnesses subsided long before any vaccine for those illnesses was distributed. We have been systematically lied to.

My weakness is weaker left arm but more training it could help. Pacquiao is a beast with that strong left and Tyson is powerful a.f.. But Pacman is too small for Tate (as am I but I have 10 lbs and 2-3 inches on Pacman naturally). Tate will need stay outside employing jabs, upper cuts, body/liver shots, endurance and movements. In too close he won't be able to get any leverage because his arms are too long. I don't have to worry about head butts because I am 8" shorter. I can employ overhead swings in close but he can only at a distance. If he can keep me at a distance as Lennox Lewis did to Tyson or punish me with body (or head) shots every time I move in then I am toast. As an older man you don't have the endurance to sustain once you get inside so you get punished again everytime you need to take a breather. Huge challenge at such an age, virtually impossible. Hope my former MVP athletic skills and explosiveness could keep me competitive if I trained hard enough. I am calling you out Tate as a fake alpha. Prove me wrong. Knock me out. Or fight someone competitive at least such as Tyson. I know he would not dare fight Canelo, Triple G, Tyson nor Holyfield. And hell no I would never fight any of those former world champion boxers as they would obliterate me. A game of American football I will accept against any of them. Why I dislike Tate is because of his loud mouth, know-it-all presumptuousness, presenting himself as a role model for men. I never see him put himself up against any other true alphas. I guess true alphas aren't going to waste their time on him anyway. Being a reasonably intelligent millionaire and YT personality doesn't make one alpha. Much more respect men who are less self-aggrandizing, more circumspect, more wiling to surround themselves with others who are smarter than themselves, etc.. Admire those who underpromise and overdeliver. Should ignore this is just an artifact of decadent Western civilization, fakery sells. Pacquiao has apparently realized he's too old to be fighting guys that far too large for him after the last beating he took. Surrender if getting pummeled to the head. Body shots are self-limiting.)"

Comment:

I'm just talking to myself. Ignore it. Sitting here too many hours sleepless on coffee now (Michelle in bed on her menstruation). Basically it is a function of being stuck at the desk instead of being able to go release at the gym and make myself exhausted and thus consistently reminding myself I have no where near the endurance and power of a 40 year old. Although the problem is that the more I gym, the stronger I get, the more I need to gym otherwise this pent up testosterone isn't drained out daily. I need a better life balance. Need 2 hours of sports/athletics per day to sustain homeostasis. I can't function as a pure nerd, don't have that type of metabolism. I have to stay engaged in sports and in a constant draining and training. I have no idea how this ages. Roland told me his world class cyclist friend was still stronger into his mid-60s than your average 30-something amateur cyclist.

Quite clear that I was disintegrating in the U.S. and Baja not having access to the suitable environment/facilities/motivation/players for sports. Michelle noted I had reversed 5 to 10 years of aging in my appearance with just 5 workouts thus far in gym here. Last workout I was starting to feel like I wanted more even after Michelle was pooped and done. She had to wait an additional 30 minutes for me as I did an intense and complete circuit including going every heavy on the hack squat, benching 85 kg on my 50th rep of the day (my max is probably 95kg now), power lift cleans, interval training on the treadmill.

Another thing I have learned is too wide temperate swings (and cold, intense wind) in Baja Norte was demotivating for my lust for athleticism. This winter northern tropics is about ideal for it. I had made similar advances in the winters of 2017 and 2019 in Angeles City. Winter/Spring 2018/2019 in General Santos was also decent but more exhausting/challenging because so intensely hot (relied on the aircon in Pacman's gym). Also I was having a lot of difficulty with my endocrine system in General Santos and also in the U.S. and Baja. Here it is a rollercoaster in terms of my eating discipline but I have more consistent energy anyway.

Everything is too haphzard at the moment, moving from condo to condo every 10 days or so and trying to find time to do computer work, attend to Michelle, etc..

Anyway, just ignore it I it is akin to Cadaveric spasms but of the transitioning to elderly athlete instead of post-mortem, lol.

This is what happens when one tries to do too much. It becomes a discombobulated, chaotic mashup of erratic impulses. Difficult to remain grounded when overstimulated, sleepless, unable to fit everything into a consistent circadian rhythm.

Will I ever be able to put the genie in the bottle and be methodical/focused? How does Musk deal with the chaos and 5 hours of sleep? I think Musk doesn't need athletics, never stimulated those organs. Realize my heart is 1.5 times oversized for life from being a competitive distance runner in high school.

Sometimes I need to write down some self-reflection analysis.

I doubt that is going to work out. You probably better start thinking about needing to share economies-of-scale with others. One of the reasons I have a mutual interest in your thoughts/plans.

Still a small chance I launch an altcoin to generate $millions.

Comment:

Let's understand we are at the brink of an epic, epochal global shift. The incoming tumult is difficult to quantify.

Bitcoin was launched at the precise timing targeting maturity at the peak in global debt at the Minsky Moment collapse monetary reset, that fostered global scale stablecoins which are threatening the sovereign currencies forcing the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). But there's no way to design a CBDC that that gives them ability to censor illegal transactions (i.e. retain control over approved transactions) that does not also open Pandora's Box in terms of the totalitarian evil of 666 control over every financial transaction. (Actually maybe it would be possible to design a permissionless cryptocurrency that still allows the central bank to manipulate the money supply but not censor transactions, but this isn't contemplated of course.) Centralized control always leads to extremely bad outcomes and now totalitarians will have control over every damn transaction. Of course the pressure will be towards permissionless cryptocurrencies putting further pressure on the bankrupt nation-states. These CBDCs are a desperate attempt to maintain the leverage of sovereignty.

The West is the most maladapted with the highest dependency on the debt driven sovereign fiat model, which is now collapsing. That doesn't mean the West is the only govt that will collapse but it means West's status quo is the most under threat. I have my justified fears that the West can't make the transition from its formerly privileged sovereignty to servile nations with the extant paradigms intact (including extant political systems, societal norms and rule of law). I have justified fears that ownership of conspicuous assets will be eviscerated (e.g. bank accounts & land). Movable assets are better. And ethereal assets (e.g. cryptocurrency) even better. I posit that immovable assets stand a better chance in nations less maladapted to extensive profit models based on mortgage debt and urban development (which I explained effects rural land in West nations). Evident for example in dearth of building permit regulations, environmental permits and property taxes for isolated rural land in developing countries. Maybe I am wrong about this, but this is my hypothesis about probabilities, not certainties.

In short, I am expecting an epic global tumult and great clusterfuck. I expect most everything (or many facets of our life) to go F.U.B.A.R.. I expect govts all over the world failing. I expect massive chaos and disorder. I think maybe some SE Asian nations will be more solid and more ordered, because their underlying economics and attitude of their populace, are the most economically sound. Also Asians will embrace whatever requirements are put on them without complaining much. Asians expect the least, work the most. Also there's a lot of work for Asians because of the massive push for modern infrastructure and development.

Comment:

Armstrong does not understand the technological shift underway. Well at least he is reading some of my emails or the emails of someone else who is communicating the same opinions as mine. Armstrong simply does not understand that the nation-state is finished. It will be pummeled now by the rise of Bitcoin. I keep telling him to read John Nash's Ideal Money paper, but Martin thinks he knows everything and ostensibly unwilling to learn anything new. The nation-states will attempt to issue debt in their own currencies but Bitcoin will be universal standard that will subjugate all the nation-states as the dollar subjugated all except the U.S.. This is why the collapse of the West will be so egregious. And nobody is going to be using silver-dimes, lol. Armstrong is a troglodyte that does not understand the Internet changed the world. Physical money does not compete.

> "Perhaps the greatest of all the wild proposals is that somehow Bitcoin will rise from the ashes and become the new Reserve Currency of the world. So all governments will issue debt in Bitcoin? Politicians will never be able to run for office and Socialism must collapse if there is a fixed amount of money. That is what the elastic money supply was to help – depressions and recessions."

Comment:

Lol Martin Armstrong does not understand that Bitcoin does not need the power grid nor the Internet.

@Lottie Clarey the rise of hard money (Bitcoin) is a harbinger of misery. The central banks now have no choice but to attempt 666 digital currencies to attempt to stay relevant. Problem is the leftists will then have centralized control over every transaction we conduct. Centralized control always leads to massive failure. No one can predict the exact machinations. It will be ugly, especially in the West since the West is most maladapted to the privilege of a sovereign fiat debt bubble hegemony.

Comment:

I don't think our computers are a threat to most of us. The backdoor capabilities will remain surreptitious because they want to reserve these to observe important targets. If they attempted some overt mass remote imprisonment of our computers, then they would incentivize solutions and a large disruption of their subversive capabilities.

The individuals who need ultra-secure computing (op spec) are those who have much more extensive wealth and power at-stake, e.g. Ross William Ulbricht or Mircea Popescu.

The Internet is the all seeing eye of their panopticon. They do not want to destroy their capabilities by forcing some overt order that disintegrates. That would be too rigid and highly ordered and thus unnatural and unsustainable. Remember that entropy is always increasing. They dare not go overt imprisonment of our computers as they will blow up their panopticon grid.

I posit that we should stop fearing our computer access being cut off. I think that is their Achilles heel and they dare not attempt that. Bitcoin and permissionless cryptocurrency will rise because TPTB can not and dare not try to essentially snuff out the Internet. Also the penultimate powers-that-be furthest behind the curtain want the Internet to disintermediate the nation-states so as to usher a NWO with all nation-states subjugated to the Internet and Bitcoin. So this will be the outcome. You can pretty much be guaranteed of it.

So please stop worrying about that. Rather the choke point are the centralized institutions which are being disintermiediated, e.g. banking and the meatspace that the nation-states still have control over (but increasingly they are losing control as Peru has demonstrated, but more or less so in different regions and cultures with for example SE Asia being very meatspace compliant).

No there are no perfected mass market solutions for ending their surreptitious backdoors. And that is a good thing. I bet you never thought of it as a good thing. If they did not have the monitoring capability they need, then they would need to be much more aggressive and rash in other areas.

IOW, they intend to control the masses with the centralized things they control (e.g. meatspace and bank accounts), not the decentralized things they can not possibly control (e.g. Internet, computers, crypto).

Restoration will not happen ever. Instead there will be some great tumult with untold collateral damage, followed by something entirely new. Imagine Gen Z will be deciding what that 'new' will be, so it probably will be quite different that what our older age group wants. Probably increasing adoption of the panopticon and other self-destructive Marxism until they have culled themselves?

Maybe some electorates choose a more capitalistic path after observing the abject chaos and failure of others, but likely still adopting technology and elements of the panopticon. I wonder if any nation will entirely abandon sovereignty of fiat and use crypto entirely (e.g. El Salvador), but doesn't mean they will won't also embrace the panopticon in some facets, such as issuing a national CBDC backed by Bitcoin reserves. Remember legacy Bitcoin only supports 7 transactions per second thus can only be used as a reserve currency and not a payment system. I have blogged extensively about why only legacy Bitcoin will survive long-term.

Maybe eventually (after 2037?) some electorate will institute direct democracy with every issue put directly to a vote by the people instead of bribable, corrupt elected representatives.

The CBDC and personal Carbon Credits (Agenda 2030/2050) will run its course and lay waste to economically scorched earth. So many will be fleeced and dumped into life of desperation and dependence. Already 10 U.S. States have more welfare recipients than paid workers (including Commiefornia). With Latin America being a breeding zone for impoverished (for the reason I posited today, being extractive economies not focused on human capital development, unlike Asia which has low natural resources), the entire Americas likely to become the "fleece the rich" outcome.

The various collateral damage machinations will not be 100% uniform nor ubiquitous. With luck or cleverness some will worm their way through the scorched earth clusterfuck and come out the other side intact. If you are poor, you have only your human rights (e.g. right to decide your own medical decisions) to lose.

Remember those who think the rise of Bitcoin will be a panacea for those who hodl sufficient Bitcoins, seem to not fully appreciate that the rise of hard money is a harbinger of misery, as I warned 4 years ago:

Armstrong summarized the outcome when Bitcoin becomes the reserve currency:

"So all governments will issue debt in Bitcoin? Politicians will never be able to run for office and Socialism must collapse if there is a fixed amount of money. That is what the elastic money supply was to help – depressions and recessions."

So the nation-states will be in a state of constant of disarray and failure like the 1800s in the U.S.. This is what famed mathematician (and inventor of the Nash equilibrium that is the basis for Bitcoin) John Nash was describing in his Ideal Money proposal (Nash was assassinated by a taxi driver on the same EZ Pass as he wrote about in his paper, thus presaging his own death as also did Mircea Popescu who had blogged about the ocean swallowing things):

Comment:

Armstrong private blogged about this email I had forwarded to him... he's picking up on my prior insight that LatAm hasn't prioritized human capital development bcz they have an abundance of natural resources (unlike Asia) thus their eilte focused on resource extraction instead...

PRIVATE BLOG – Latin America

Peru has been collapsing

This looks to me like 2023 is a watershed year in terms of the political and economic instability spreading through LatAm. Then looks like waves of crises throughout the decade, and LatAm will not have a Direction Change (i.e. some form of stabilization) until the financial capitol of the world shifts to Asia after 2031.

I wonder if that intense L-wave in 2025 wold be the mass emigration from the NATO core countries (as potentially implied by Deagel's mass depopulation event for Western nations) to LatAm to escape the WW3 rationing, capitol controls and lockdowns. Or would it be instead the collapse of LatAm due to capitol controls (CBDCs) cutting off the flow of remittances and foreign direct investment?

Latin Americans flirt with Marxism ostensibly because their elite are not aligned with human capital investment. Instead the natural resources are exploited. Thus the Gini coefficient is abysmal and the people are rioting. No LatAm government will have the support of the people because the fundamental structure of their economies is contrary to their culture of empathy of humanity and living creatures. Chile was able to avert an insane leftist constitution because constitutional amendments are extremely difficult to pass requiring 2/3rd vote in Congress. But that's not support for the status quo, so chaos likely to resume in Chile.

The Latin Americans are also delusional because they have always had abundance and never worried about where their next meal would come from. They expect to be able to party all the time, eat, drink and be merry. Similar to Spain, they wasted their riches while thinking they're wealthy. So they living in some delusional expectation of the value of their nearly worthless human capital that hasn't been developed with any sort of integrated economy that can support employment for such burgeoning populations. Mexico has at least embraced factories along the border and IT in Mexico city thus providing some upward mobility for human capital. Also Mexicans were able to easily enter the U.S. to work illegally.

(Fear and Loathing in Caracas)

And the U.S. is immigrating LatAm so for example Commiefornia (also leftist Portatoiletland, OR and SheHeItatle, WA) is plausibly to fall into the analogous dysfunction as LatAm.

For me LatAm is a leading indicator of the collapse of governments of all nation-states as Bitcoin ushers in the NWO where nation-states fracture into thousands of independent States eventually organized under the 10 Kings regions in the Bible. And subjugated by the harbinger that is hard money that is incompatible with century long, kick-the-can, MMT central bank fiat debt bubble expansion. An radical monetary reset and transformation is underway originally prophesied in in the cover story of the January 1989 issue of the Economist Magazine.

So if one can survive/thrive in LatAm, one can presumably survive/thrive in the NWO. Weak governments in LatAm may mean less Agenda 2030 interference but more warlordism and personal security threats (as prophesied in the 2010 Rockefeller Foundation paper Scenarios for the Future). Would it go all the way to Marxist nationalization of all land in a Zimbabwe-like collapse? I don't think so because Latin Americans are not anti-European in fact they idolize Spain. Rather it's an issue of them being unrealistic/delusional about their self-worth as humans and how to distribute their incorrect perception of their national wealth more equally.

I presume Latin Americans are not as barbaric as Africans. They go along with handouts as in Venezuela deluded into thinking money can fall perpetually from trees. I assume they will not devolve back to tribalism as they haven't been tribal for centuries or even more (e.g. Incas had a sophistical civilization).

LatAm will devolve into more chaos than SE Asia will, but Asia will presumably be much more organized in terms of climate change lockdowns and such as evidence by the Certificate Of Vassal IDentity experience.

I wish Armstrong would share some analysis of Baltic States such as Albania and Serbia as alternative relocation/emigration destinations to SE Asia or LatAm.

The return to private money will be to cryptocurrency this time, not to physical barter because the people who will use private money will be needles in the haystack of zombies who are taking UBI on fiat CBDCs along with 500 of Gill Baites medical terrorism booster vaggies. The billions will be on auto-pilot to self-immolation due to the inherently failure directed CBDC centralization with nation-states no longer borrow&spend viable with legacy protocol Bitcoin as the world reserve currency. Also the developing world (including China) will not collapse because they are undervalued relative to their productivity. The CCP will lead the world into a 666 dystopia along with their secret partnership with Bill Gates, Soros, Klaus Schwab, etc.. This was planned out decades in the making by our overlords behind the curtain.

People are sheep and expect the govt to make everything work properly. When not they will blame any boogeyman as long as they do not have to blame themselves or take full responsibility for their own plight. And the govt always possesses too much centralized control akin to Godzilla traipsing through downtown knocking over skyscrapers.

There was religious tension in Britain that still lingers to this day against Catholics. The Gordon Riots of 1780 took place over several days instigated by the anti-Catholic sentiment that again erupted with the passage of the Papists Act of 1778. That was an attempt to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics with the first legislation of the Popery Act of 1698. At the time, Lord George Gordon was the head of the Protestant Association. He argued that the law would enable Catholics to join the British Army and once in they would then use the army to plot treason. The protest became the excuse to burn people’s possessions, engaged in widespread rioting and looting, and they even used the opportunity to attack both Newgate Prison and the Bank of England. This was by far the most destructive riot in the history of London.

{...}

From the mid-1600s, the world money supply was increased largely with copper coins. Russia, in particular, began to overvalue the copper coins. Money is always fiat for its value is typically dictated by the government. Overvaluing copper as in the 17th and 18th centuries, led to the same trend of overvaluing silver during the 19th century. The result of this monetary manipulation by the Russian government led to what became known as the Copper Riots of 1662.

{...}

During the Hyperinflation in Germany of the 1920s, there again we see private currency being printed known as NOTGELD. Therefore, in the end, when the confidence in government declines, society is compelled to return to a barter-based society and that is when we begin to see private forms of money take hold.

Comment:

It's not clear if LatAm is the DEVELOPING world, as the development has been only focused on natural resources extraction due to the overabundance of natural resources not present in East Asia (which has 10 times larger population) and not on a manufacturing and labor-export economy to provide the economies-of-scale in employment and industry integration to maximize productivity and human capital value. Thus LatAm is headed into a clusterf*ck of civil war as the masses push for marxist redistribution and the monied caste fights back (e.g. Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Chile).

@JerryManders, yeah not thinking new ATH until 2025. Fed's Bullard hinted yesterday a pause in rate hikes will be signaled soon. Market will front run that. Historically the markets rally into the pause or easing before the lagging effect of recession drags everything back down. Also my model is the overlords are premeditating global events to force flash crashes to force the central banks into supporting egregious stagflation and ultimately self-immolation as the pathway to the NWO wherein legacy Bitcoin will rise as the Phoenix world reserve asset in a multi-polar world from the ashes post-WW3. Probably escalation in Ukraine to direct conflict between NATO and Russia widening the scope of the war, capital controls and supply chain disruption. Thus another bout of flash crash event (2019-2020 is repeating more or less) leading to worsening price inflation with even more egregious central banks off-the-rails. Btw, Mark Moss just pointed out that bank bail-ins are coming to the U.S. eventually. FDIC only insures 125B and 12.5T of assets. Bank deposits are unsecured creditors. My current thesis is a bull trap bounce incoming in January, possibly a retest down, then the full on face ripper ending by April-ish. Yet I am open to Q2 face ripper scenario, although that seems to be a lower probability based on the signals I am looking at. Will be curious to see what you are detecting in your mathematical-based analyses?

Comment:

Currently my comment is presumably in the moderator queue, not appearing publicly yet:

One challenge to rationality is that soi-disant "science" is often (unwittingly, confirmation bias or even vested-interests willfully) blind to ignored, confounding factors. For example the claim that the recent U.S. variant(s) are less pathogenic fails to contemplate if maybe that's because so many Americans are refusing to sport bacterial pneumonia causing face diapers, refusing the vaggies and not scared by FUD to rush into a hospital where the insurance companies were paying out more if the treatment included intubating the patient on glassification-by-operation-warp-speed ventilator therapy and other iatrogenic "treatments" such as monoclonal antibodies (and other toxic meds and not to mention that hospitals themselves are toxic breeders of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria and bacterial pneumonia). We even had some doctors and nurses blowing the whistle on inappropriate concentrations of oxygen early on in the Billy boy's Event 201 p(L)andemic.

Spiked vaccinated immunity that wanes to no spread protection and to SUPPRESSED general, natural, herd immunity (coined as VAIDS or Vaccine Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is potentially catastrophic especially compounded by the egregious incidence of myocarditis and thrombosis detected when the vaccinated are actively screened with Dimer and MRI tests for lurking, asymptomic injury (54% of 12-29 cohort in one recent study) — regardless if the nuanced assailable/equivocal claim that it reduces incidence or severity of illness attributable and limited to perhaps ephemeral non-evasive variants. Social protection? Are you people insane? We are injecting cardiovascular disease into our youth! F*ck. How can the memebots continue pitching this diabolical crap with any conscience? How scorched earth do we need to achieve before you myopic, unthinking, big brained sheep wake up and admit you were fools? Eugenicist Ted Turner's Georgia Guidestones' and the reptilian Gates Family's long standing lust for gigadeath? Do I need to escape to Mars and watch humanity self-immolate or will sufficient, capable men come to their senses before it is too late?

Comment:

@DCS your unthinking, memebotic stereotype label "deniers" (akin to the "troofers" meme) is an example of, "the psychotic merely instantiates groups on the basis of its representational needs, and thus regularly and predictably produces ideal instantiations of very little intellectual merit" excerpted from the blog post The Common Psychosis on Trilema dot com. I also recommend that "deceased" author's other blog article entitled, How to piss me the f*ck off -- a guide. You are just as much of a denier as are those who you accuse. So your first unthinking error is inability to use correct vocabulary which is also indicative of the veracity of your memebot "reality." You choose your reality and your destiny, so don't complain about the outcome Billy boy is arranging for you, given you have unwittingly submitted your free will to the propaganda that has entirely taken control of your thoughts.

Comment:

This is really bad. Thailand has decided to require double COVID vaccines for all arrivals starting Jan 8. Apparently they did not want to offend China by requiring it only for the Chinese. IOW, Chinese tourists are more important than losing 20% of non-Chinese who might not be vaxxed. On top of this India is now requiring a PCR test for those arriving from Thailand because of Chinese being allowed in.

So TPTB are turning the Chinese protests into a new opportunity to impose COVID restrictions on travel!

Now the fear is that countries such as Brazil might reimpose PCR and/or vax requirements. I am feeling quite stressed again and maybe we need to get our arses out of here sooner than later.

This is why I can not trust SE Asia. It's insanity and the CCP wields too much influence (and increasing!) over SE Asia. Even Indonesia will be getting closer to China despite the historical anti-China riots there.

I find it amazing that Martin Armstrong does not understand that the CCP is complicit with the Great Reset and Agenda 2030.

The Public Health Ministry is in talks with state agencies on health insurance and vaccination service matters, she said.

New Covid-19 strains from visitors arriving from western countries could pose a higher health threat that older strains from tourists arriving from China, according to virologist Yong Poovorawan.

Oh yes contact tracing and quarantines will come back and essentially forced vaccination because complying with the alternative options will be so onerous. Alluded to in one of the Bangkok Post articles today.

Likewise sentiments then, so we pump no sympathy for you when develop myocarditis from the vaggies. Sudden expirations are increasing. Soon we will need to restrict the vagginated from operating machinery as they are a danger to the public.

An illusion of tests and FUD. Scare the sheep and they will willingly drive off a cliff to escape from the fabricated boogeyman.

@Tim Newton Today that seems short-sighted. There will be contact tracing and quarantines as alluded to in one of the Bangkok Post articles today. The theme is vagginate or suffer the horrible other options. It's a panopticon grid encircling humanity.

No the vaggies last for a lifetime leading eventually to organ failure. You remember the Bible says they will have open sores all over their body. This is underway.

Every country is deepthroating China, including Hunter Biden. Yes he (and Papa dementia) is (in charge of) the country. (not really we know what is behind the curtain)

@Sailing Solo the cure is incoming to the self-importance. It will be collapse into abject poverty with the plans the globalists are putting into action.

Westerners fail to understand the evil they are trapped in.

@Marcuss the hippy in disguise continue to imagine you can survive in some snowflakes delusion when it comes to the point that you are not provided food to eat nor allowed to farm. Every conspiracy theory has been coming true lately. Incoming is Agenda 2030.

The sudden expirations have been increasing. An American football player collapsed and died this past week. Myocarditis is off-the-charts when tested for, but most do not realize they have it already. Just give it time. Also the goal is 500 vagginations per individual by the end of the decade.

@Frontend Zen one will need at least residency if not much better citizenship to have any certitude about being able to live somewhere unvaxxed. But that won't even be sufficient because the diabolical plan is to tighten the screws by making it impossible to reside in a condo or move beyond a 15 minute radius if unvaxxed (and eventually other edicts such as climate change rationing morphing to essentially deprivation and ultimately pestilence and morbidity). Next stage by 2025 is to ban cash and enforce edicts by blocking access to electronic money. The 666 panopticon vice is closing and the sheep are hapless deer-stuck-in-the-headlights. The time is nigh for the gigadeath incoming.

There was no release of anything other than a p(L)andemic of billions of flu tests. Zillions of strains of corona exosomes have always circulated. Don't fall for the bioweapon psyop. This just like the truth about the Ukraine situation, is an information war. The flu tests are based on information technology. Billy boy is orchestrating most of this.

@underworldringside I think it will depend more on cases which are likely to explode anyway due to remixing two populations that have been separated for 3 years. Herd immunity is much more important than vaccines. Which is why I am going to scurry out of Thailand after one glorious month of imagining the world was normal again.

> "ll those people complaining..They probably spend more at the airport on snacks and drinks then the PCR test would cost."

You calling for more p(L)andemic of flu tests. Coronas have always circulated. What is new is suddenly billions of tests. Boggles my mind that people are so incapable of conceiving reality.

Comment:

> "How are those horse pills going? Have you tried bleach? While you worship at the alter of Trump, I read virology journals. Like this one: If 10% of the population remain unvaccinated, they will account for at least 80% of new infections. Virologists call this 'Over-dispersion Parameter K.' It works like this:
"Multiple studies have found that k for SARS-CoV-2 is on the order of 0.1, corresponding to ∼10% of infected people causing 80% of new infections (12⇓⇓–15) This also implies that the majority of infected individuals cause less than one secondary infection and thus, cannot sustain the epidemic on their own should the superspreading events somehow be prevented." (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the United States of America.) So not everyone is a spreader. In fact, few are. And with those who are vaccinated, the viral load is far less pathogenic than those who are unvaccinated since the virus does not replicate nearly as much in a vaccinated persons nasopharynx. Learn how viruses replicate and how vaccines work."

@Steve Schertzer Go read the comments section at the blog I cited so you can educate yourself about the confounding factors not captured by your cherry picking myopia. The vaccines don't stop spread of evasive variants. The virus mutates and the vaccines suppress the herd immunity needed to deal with the variants. Thus a never ending series of boosters and new vaccines. The stated goal is 500 vaccines before the end of this decade. Cripes man stop being such a pompous Dunning-Kruger arse.

@Steve Schertzer your epidemiological citation must presume that vagged who test positive do not spread? Because extensive studies show that the vagginated are 3 times more likely to test positive than the unvagged. So then what is the point of the tests if they do not detect spreaders? The study you cited does not make any sense.

@Steve Schertzer Check for example the Cleveland study of 55,000 participants. If you are unaware of the studies I am referring to then you clearly do not know a lot more than me. Also I obliterated your citation already in the responses I already made in the other comment threads on this video. I am not going to copy and paste it all here again.

@Alfa Bravo no. The vagginated are a danger to society because they destroy herd immunity and they are experiencing sudden collapse and death, meaning they could kill many people when operating machinery. They are also a danger to society because they are supporting a dystopian lurch into a gigadeath 666 panopticon deprivation, pestilence and societalcide. It is clear that there is going to be Civil War eventually and a great separation and culling event. Prepare.

Comment:

David, of course very few people would believe that there could be 50% depopulation in NATO countries by the end of 2025. This would require some unthinkable event right? Russia and NATO are going to have direct nuclear conflict, probably kicking off later this year between Poland and Russia then expanding until 2025 to all of NATO. If not ICBMs on the major cities (and submarine tidal wave nukes along coastlines and island countries such as the U.K.), it could be EMP attacks that wipe out the grid, fuel distribution, food processing/transport, drinking water and sewer systems, which would lead to mayhem and megadeath within a week or two. Additionally our enslaving overlords (e.g. Klaus Schwab at the W.E.F., Soros, Bill Gates, etc) are apparently planning to blame a massive cyberattack on Russia (i.e. a false flag event) in which they will freeze everyone's bank accounts (the bail-ins but with an excuse). This can have the same effect as an EMP attack within days, widespread mayhem, rioting, criminality and deprivation. David there is a chance for some uber dystopian shit coming which will make the COVID crap look like a walk in the park. My hypothesis is that COVID was a trial run exercise so they can fine tune their plans for escalation. Maybe none of this will happen. Or maybe it will. We live in very dangerous times this decade. Beware.

Comment:

Also there's other possibilities such as the economic collapse Minsky Moment underway (and the rising technocratic totalitarianism attempting to capture it) could lead to egregious factional political struggles devolving into civil wars, which are typically very deadly as you should know in Spain's history. Also simply that all this crap may go awry leading to some forms of Madmax warlordism collapse of government, police, and the rule-of-law.

Comment:

David, mutually assured destruction is now probably false. Thus the mutual disincentive for nuclear armageddon may be vacated. Firstly the U.S. nukes may not function as the U.S. has been unable to produce tritium to maintain them. Secondly the Russian State (the govt) may sense an existential threat and thus fear overthrow more than the ramifications of a first strike. Thirdly global nuclear winter is scientifically invalid hokum. A global nuclear war is quite survivable in bunkers (and outside the small radius of the cities) of which both sides have many. Only the masses in the cities perish. Or maybe only tactical and EMP nukes will be employed with limited radiation effects but massive effects on vital infrastructure. Maybe over overlords have kept the nukes in the bottle until this global Minsky Moment. They predicted the rise of the Bitcoin Phoenix from the ashes on the January issue of the 1989 Economic Magazine cover story.

Comment:

> "I stand by my original assertion that the “plan” involves the dissolution of the west. The east will be spared, at least for a while. Compliant people make excellent slaves."

Absolutely the developing world will be spared (in some sense) both because the obedient, compliant population will not present any threat to the 666 panopticon and because Larry Fink pointed out they do not have enough capital to bribe all the sectors to fully implement the Agenda 2030 personal Carbon Credits scheme in the developing world.

By spared we mean that the congested Asian shities will be 666 panopticon compliance zones, but the rural developing world will not be fully enslaved. And that the West will experience more egregious economic collapse and societal transformation, because more decadent, overvalued, culturally/ideologically/religiously invested in junk science FUD and personal debt inflated.

Also it is quite possible that there are breakaway States (or counties) of the USA that for example defy the 666 panopticon as best they can, which I think is quite unlikely in obedient Asia. Defection in Asia will be probably only limited instances of individual bribes for exemptions, cheating and such, not entire breakaway communities. Asians only riot when they can't eat. Westerners organize when their liberties are threatened. Difference. IOW, in Asia do not dare try to organize an ideological fight for liberty, as nobody is interested.

The collapse of the West means rising, onerous CCP influence in all of Asia as China will be unopposed.

The U.S. is in the midst of a 31 year collapse into warlordism after Snowden's 2013 expose of the how corrupt our U.S. govt is (which btw so many Americans ignore). By 2044, the U.S. will be in some areas as lawless as Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil and Peru. Trump even helped to endorse McCarthy and kick-the-can on any hope for a quick Civil War and arrest of the societalcide. The U.S. will go through gyrations of political and economic collapse from now forward. Will not be a beeline to the abyss, so it may still be a nice place to visit for a decade or two more. Appears that all the Western States are politically lost and can't be restored, especially after the election was clearly rigged in Arizona again. Maybe only a few counties in Arizona for example Cochise (which entirely resisted certifying the governor election), but counties are not as sovereign as States. Actually Texas looks vulnerable as the cities are already voting Demo(n)(c)rat.

Anyway, any of the climates I would have wanted (i.e. not the SouthEast nor continental such as Utah and Montana) in the U.S. are hopeless and will become no-live-zones. So it's time to shutdown any hope to reside in the U.S.. It will be an optional summer vacation destination for me from this point forward. The U.S. and the genetic relatives from my parents have disintegrated away from me as I have chosen to attempt to step off the Titanic. And they will never, never understand me nor reunify with me. They will not U-turn from their decision to go down with the ship they loved. They do not see options.

A proposal to modify the Thai vaccine requirements such that I would no longer need it (if I chose to fly back in again). Michelle would still need but she has. Who knows if this proposal will be accepted. Essentially this might be accepted because: 1) the condo resale values will be affected downwards if not, and 2) presumably this letter would not have been sent if not already discussed it with whom it is addressed to (do not embarrass your political allies in Asia as face is so important). Meaning this may be face saving measure to not discriminate against China but stop shooting themselves in the feet.

The Thai panic is being eviscerated with simple logic. I hope they will capitulate to the above face saving measure at least!

This demonstrates (yet again after 2018 & 2019 vacations in Angeles City, Philippines) I'm healthier in an idyllic urban setting as is this Pattaya, Thailand that resembles Destin, FL or Daytona Beach, FL. I'm a social creature. I decompressed along the windy, serene beach after gym, from the egregious anxiety of past days of contemplating next destination & renewed COVID edicts! Melting anxiety is a lesson in sanity vs. insanity.

I don't function well all alone in desolate, cold locales. U.S.A. is either a geriatric boredom (e.g. Sierra Vista, AZ) else woke Twilight Zone zombified, unaffordable (e.g. Commiefornia, Portatoiletland, OR, etc).

How many are still insane due to the COVID hoax FUD. No virus! Only tests! Idiots!

Humans are so fucking gullible. Not willing to think for themselves formed via their own skepticism & research. Science fails with groupthink as a substitute for highly skeptical, independent verification, exactly as Carl Sagan had warned. Too willing to follow the other mindless protoplasm sheep like complete fucking imbeciles/morons. It's actually funny if I wasn't so affected by my inability to find a sane place to be a social creature (FL doesn't work for me year round)

The corona exosomes have always circulated. In Spain they even found the SARS-CoV-2 strain in sewerage stored from early in 2019.

Viruses appear to be dead material excreted from diseased & dying cells. Not causative. Probably not infectious. Even if infectious herd immunity is the only thing that actually works as all the data is now revealing.

Yet these imbeciles continue to destroy their health with toxic jabs creating a huge public safety hazard. They do not seem to realize they are the problem. And if they do not stop this nonsense there will be civil war and they will perish. Duh. Hard fucking headed. Need to take them out to the woodshed to bloody their rumps bcz they have the mentality of irresponsible, incorrigible juveniles.

Do these imbeciles even have a functional brain stem? Only a nation of half-enlightened, dimwits could turn the U.S. into the cesspool of unthinkable insanity it is now.

What do we do with these senile, brainwashed, ideologically deviant mofos? Probably best is don't interrupt your nemesis when they're busy culling themselves. Sad though when it's the people we loved (relatives). Simple conclusion is the West is cooked. Can't be fixed. Armstrong is correct that it will be a 31 year decline into Madmax dystopia from Snowden's 2013 whistleblower exposé (which the treasonous, civic dutiless imbeciles ignore).

Comment:

Yet another young person passing from sudden death due to myocarditis from the COVID vaccines. WHERE ARE THE FUCKING AUTOPSIES!!!!

The U.S. is turning into a wokeness freak show. The society does not realize it's actuarially (actuarial is an accounting term, also actually) bankrupt. Thus the society is wasting precious time and flushing resources down the portatoilets. Going to be interesting to watch the West self-immolate, especially as interest rates rise and then eventually waterfall deflation mayhem and pestilence/deprivation. Of course there will probably be eugenics and totalitarianism merged in, for the reasons Armstrong eloquently pointed out below... (the elite simply would not allow a reset where they gave up control to the free market, thus they will make the ultimate free market mayhem much more dramatic in the end)

Btw, those who ignored Snowden, ignore Hellary Klinton's assassination body count, etc, will of course not agree the following is deviant, mass psychotic insanity.

"The world is dumbfounded as to why in the hell we have world leaders cheering war on every continent. I put forth a solution, some did not like it, but there is no other way out of this other than Schwab’s “Great Reset” which is really all about defaulting on all the national debts, the end of socialism, democracy, and the push for a one world government to end any right to vote so government retains power. Under my solution, the government would relinquish power. They did not like that. Schwab’s way leaves it necessary to create World War III, reduce the population to escape the pension liabilities, and start over with a new Bretton Woods II."

The memebot idiots will not watch the following inconvenient truth either because it conflicts with their snowflake psychosis:

someone from taiwan think 5g has been critical part of the hoax since 2019 and posted a video about it. so they designed a way to test covid so that it is similar how 5g symtoms would occur in real world. and that will be used to get people to take the real covid ,which is vax. wuhan is one of earliest city to build 5g. in 2022 it is fullly built out.

seem very likely.

That's not to say I don't think possibly that the ionizing radiation form of 5G could be potentially unhealthy.

QAnon, {1/9/23 7:43 PM}
i think it depends on if they will abuse it and do experiment with it like what they did with vax. the simple expanation does not explain why that many people get fever and other symtom at the same time, right after china reopen and stop the zero covid policy. anyway. we do not need to spend more time trying to figure out exactly how it all happened.

shjelby3 ⏱🌐🧖, {1/9/23 7:47 PM}
Yes it does. No herd immunity. Mass vaccinated. Thus they have suppressed immune system right at the time they make a change to their daily patterns. Synchronized illness via dead immune systems and the timing of opening.

Whether ionizing 5G can employed to simulate illness could be entirely orthogonal to COVID, other than the vaccines suppressing the immune systems. Meaning the 5G does not need to be activating something that was injected as the kooks are alleging. Keep the theories more grounded please.

it dont believe it is loss of herd immunity that caused the recent widespread symtomes. my parents didnt live the room and didnt meet people recently and still got symtoms recently. also before china reopen, there was mass pcr testing. that was the major and probably the only difference.

china reopen just means end of mass pcr testing. before china reopen, people did not stay at home all day. they congregate as usual

Do you understand that the vaccine suppresses herd immunity?

Don't tell me that the pattern of the people (COLLECTIVELY, not just some of the people such as your parents) was the same before and after they knew they there were unlikely to thrown in a detention center if test positive.

Obviously they were not freely going anywhere before, because they wanted to minimize their chance of testing positive. They were minimizing their movements. It can even just be a synchronized, mass psychological shift that can cause illness due to suppressed immune system

of course they can be anywhere before withinchina as long as the pcr test result is ok .

And thus the world going entirely insane as a result. Bill Gates is very fucking clever!! Thus do you realize that there is such a thing as psychologically induced illness especially with a suppressed immune system as previously explained.

AND DO NOT FORGET THE MASS PROTESTS (i.e. CONGREGATING BY THE MILLIONS) THAT LEAD TO THE END OF THE INSANE ZERO COVID POLICY.

Let's discuss this some other time as I am in an extreme rush right now to change condos, shower, catching up on urgent Bitcoin trading, etc..

Essentially I am saying do not jump on 5G activating graphene oxide. Could be numerous other explanations. Indeed could be 5G causing illness but not activating graphene oxide. Or other explanations.

Anyway, anyone who chooses to live in 5G intense zones are going to be 666 panopticon slaves regardless. So I will not be living there.

> "ah btc will be 0 okey im buying now 2millions usd😁😁"

@GUIDE_BJV, you better read more slowly and in detail. I never said legacy protocol Bitcoin will go to 0. I said if you store your Bitcoin in non-legacy addresses (i.e. that begin with a 3 or bc1 instead of a 1), then you BTC will be donated to the miners. Now please prove me wrong by not storing your BTC in addresses that begin with a 1. I will be laughing at you. Now if you paid attention and I ended up saving your a$$ then you should thank me in the end. Because nobody else bothered to inform you.

Comment:

Bill Gates, John Hopkins and the WHO have announced that the next p(L)andemic will begin October 2025. They originally modeled as pancoronavirus SPARS, which I had shared previously:

But now Bill Gates has produced another video (as they did before COVID) "speculating" that the next pandemic will be an enterovirus, which purportedly can affect the nervous system (e.g. polio) although it has been shown that polio was never caused by any virus but instead by broad use of DDT. In any case, this means it will be much scarier as it will be paralyzing people and especially children. Would the massive ramp up in vaccinations be the cause of these soon-to-be vaccine injuries which are erroneously reclassified and blamed on a virus with the analogous nonsense of billions of tests?

(It's starting, Bill Gates announces the next pandemic date and outbreak location | Redacted News)

And oh btw, the CDC has already started touting a novel enterovirus:

This is the problem I have with attempting to settle down in any place that is not rural, at least until this insanity is finished maybe by 2028 or 2032.

If you rise they will cut off your bank accounts and put you on blacklists so that you can't find employment. Once they ban cash, then they can even turn off your ability to buy and sell anything. You have about 2 years remaining to overthrow them, and instead people are still wasting their time on meaningless elections.

Bitcoin appears to be prepping for a run to $35 - 58k in Q2. Probably coming back down after this rally to retest one more time, but not sure if will make lower-low or not. For me below $13.5k is a very low probability before this posited Q2 rally

ETH is prepping for a Q2 rally to $3200.

Yet BTC is poised to be dominant again on this rally repeating 2019. Also BTC Dominance appears to be in a bear flag, thus altcoins to perform much better in 2024! Is that ANYONECANSPEND attack coming against the impostor, non-legacy protocol Bit-cOn?

ETH:BTC looks like it could drop to 0.053 - 0.076 thus $42 - 60k, albeit 0.064 - 0.68 looks like a sweet spot which is $47 - 50k.

I take it back. Neil deGrasse Tyson is still a proponent of the mainstream deceptions.

("They Were WRONG!" - Neil deGrasse Tyson In Heated Vaccine Debate With Patrick Bet-David)

But the drug companies misrepresented their clinical trials results and the FDA disbanded the independent committee that was advising them to be more cautious. And many other points that need to be made. I am only 1:30 into this video and already finding errors in this genius' reasoning.

Actually this was bullshit about the not taking the vaccine putting other people at risk. The drug companies were claiming a 95% efficacy, but that was was relative risk improvement from something like 0.01 to 0.001 chance of contracting symptoms which resembled the flu. This was complete bullocks on so many levels. Is this man this ignorant of what was going on?

Additionally the mouse trials that are normally done for vaccines were not done. There are many other points to be made that this host failed to make. Put me in a debate with Neil and I will make a fool out him. This really pisses me off. These sort of people are destroying everything. I can not coexist in the same society with these cretins.

His retorts about the virus evolved, well that is what experts were warning and stating that there was no emergency that warranted suppressing natural immunity with these toxic, gene experiments awarded to Bill Gates. Look the data was misrepresented and we were deceived. And the dissenting experts were shut down (even imprisoned in some cases). Neil needs to GAFC.

And what is this BS about taking the vax to prevent others from being infected when the vax should protect the person who is worried about it (even through it was just the flu, no reason for the hysteria and the vax did not protect anyway with much higher rates of COVID among the vaxxed than the non-vaxxed).

Comment:

The insanity gripping the West because the system is bankrupt and our elite don't want to lose control. So they're attempting to go full retard totalitarianism. They want to lock us down in every facet possible from travel, access to our money, ability to grow our own food (carbon credits), etc.. This is a strong argument to GTFO of the Western nations. Access the off-ramps before they are closed.

Comment:

Is Martin Armstrong too bearish on Brazil? Is Brazil about to have a successful right-wing coup? Bolsonaro is in exile in Florida. Maybe a successful coup in Brazil will embolden Americans to assert States' rights leading to a Civil War in the U.S.? Remember the recent Redacted vlog that pointed that Bill Gates and John Hopkins are running scenarios to launch their next pLandemic scam in Brazil in 2025 (an enterovirus so they can FUD scare the fuck out everyone possibly relabeling COVID vaccine injuries and iatrogenic treatments as acute myelitis). Hospitalization is nearly a death sentence with the MRSA circulating in them and the iatrogenic treatments the insurance companies are incentivizing. The situation in Brazil appears to be that the evil elite control the key people in the Brazilians institutions (Supreme Court, military, health ministers, etc) but they do not have the support of most of the rank-and-file. Unlike in the U.S. where the rank-and-file are too addicted to their luxurious lifestyles and do not want to risk a fight, the average Brazilians are probably ready to fight. Americans have become spoiled marshmallow coach potatoes.

Gareth Soloway just pointed out that the iShares Brazil index (EWZ) has a very bullish flag:

So why is Armstrong interpreting the Brazilian REAL and stock markets bearishly?

If the REAL is to depreciate as the U.S. dollar goes into it's final peak, and if the EWZ is to rise, then the Brazilian stock market priced in REAL will skyrocket.

Comment:

Or does this just mean Brazilians will flee to the private assets (e.g. the stock market) as they did in Venezuela?

Comment:

This is a very good interview with Martin Armstrong because the host asks probing questions that cause Martin to elaborate more on his reasoning and speculation about how the breakup of the U.S. and civil wars in Brazil and Peru will proceed.

One of the key points Martin emphasizes is that the powers-that-should-not-be don't collapse until they lose the support of the military and police. What typically happens is that the military and police suppress the people, to save their own skin. Only when there are truly two factions of power in the nation does a true civil war break out where the military and police either split into two factions or as was the case with Yeltsin he stood up on the tanks and the military sided with the democracy instead of the old guard of the Soviet Union.

Thus it's unlikely that Americans will re-assert their birthright as Anna von Reitz espouses, because there's no faction of power in the U.S. which is subscribing to Anna's version of U.S. history. This doesn't mean that Anna's theories carry no weight in law, but there are rogue courts now.

Western societies are too large and wealthy to rejuvenate from any grassroots movements. How will Floridians resist the Fed digital dollar totalitarianism that is coming? Is Florida going to create it's own currency? Hell no. Adopt Bitcoin. Hell no. I do not know what Martin and Anna respectively are smoking (bless their good hearts because they are both well intentioned and so admirable), but we have massive totalitarianism ahead before collapse into scorched earth before any rejuvenation. Martin says he can see it turning by 2028 because for example Floridians voted with their feet for lower taxes and more freedom, but again how do Floridians resist the incoming totalitarianism driven by the illegitimate Federal govt? Will Florida tell the Federal Reserve it can't create the 666 panopticon digital dollar? Will Florida tell the Treasury it can't ban cash? We have to see how far it goes before it breaks into something new, but what form? What will be the currency of the splintered States? I see massive collateral damage ahead even if Florida creates their own currency to replace the incoming 666 Fed digital dollar. What are we going to shift to barter or physical precious metals, which would cause economic collapse?

See the problem is people wait to be lead to an alternative. People (even this host) are incapable of creating their own alternative. So they are at the mercy of the powers-that-be until scorched earth destroys TPTB's power base. And even like-minded can't create their own functional economy without a viable currency. Armstrong should know this! I am sure he knows this. So why is he underestimating the centralized power and the collapse that must ensue?

Look we are moving to a hard money world under legacy protocol Bitcoin world reserve currency (after the current impostor Bitcoin is destroyed). I keep telling Martin to read famed mathematician John Nash's Ideal Money (){1} model for what Bitcoin is, wherein the nation-states will be subjugated by the global hard unit-of-account! Martin is entirely ignoring this! STOOPID! This will pummel govts leading to what Martin described as the result of returning to a gold standard. Bitcoin is even harder money than gold was. This means politics and the entire Western democracy must cease to exist. Imagine what is going to entail in terms of upheaval and scorched earth? Thus Klaus Schwab offers his 666 totalitarian model for how a socialist society can be run under such a deflationary regime. Bail-ins, end of cash, 666 central bank digital currencies, cyber attacks blamed of Russia to freeze bank accounts, martial law with nuclear threats as the pretext? What will be the alternative? It certainly won't be any form of debt-based democrazy like we have now. Is Martin even fathoming how transformative and catastrophic this 6th 309.6 year wave collapse will be? He is understating it! Will not be finished by 2028 nor even 2032. More likely collapse into 2044 as his cycle model suggests.

WW2 made the U.S. the financial capitol of the world. WW3 incoming to make Asia the financial capitol of the world, which means the entire world operating under a 666 panopticon in the Chinese/Asian model of society. Asian society is highly anti-freedom and authoritarian. Everyone follows and complies. Asians seem to be willing to comply with any system of total control as long as they individually have some means to advance themselves regardless of what the implications could be to the long-term prognosis for liberty. Short-sighted. I suppose all people, but some Americans fought more for their lifestyle perks such being quite angry about lockdowns of beaches and being forced to wear face diapers.

We will be squeezed between nation-states failing as they fight the discipline of a hard money global unit-of-account. The nation-states will go absolutely berserk, taxing and confiscating everything as the masses of protoplasm lumber along into Klaus Schwab's 666 panopticon because they have no means for existing outside of the coming digital enslavement system which will be fully active by 2025.

Ron Walker is skeptical of this Bitcoin rally pointing out that the dollat is at key support! Good point. Dollar likely to rally with the looming debt ceiling crisis.

What's very interesting is that if $69k was end of wave 3 then if this was the bottom, Bitcoin would need to rally to new ATH to complete wave 5. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Thus the correct E.W. count is that $69k was end of wave 5, thus any 2023 bounce will be a W-X-Y (A-B-C) correction meaning unlike in 2020, the 2024 crash would make a lower-low. Ah ha! That's exactly what I've been expecting. I have predicted this back in summer of 2021!!!

(Could This Be The Bitcoin Bottom? The Signal That Called The Top & Predicted The CRASH Turns Bullish)

Comment:

Yeah I like this idea a lot. Looks like a bottom in W-X-Y corrective pattern which will take BTC up to $35 - 57k for wave X, then back down to a lower-low inQ1 2024 for the next variant of the March 2020 corona crash. I bet come back down to test that yellow uptrend line ~$17.5k before rockets in April. Essentially 2019 is repeating exactly as I had predicted since summer of 2021 when I had identified the megaphone pattern.

I will start scaling in bullish on any correction even if only to $19.5k. We can not be sure this will not run (to $23k or beyond). Pullbacks should be bought. But keep in mind the possibility of one more retest nearer to lows, but perhaps not below $17.5k.

Comment:

Guy speculates that every means possible will be employed to force people to move to the cities. Subsequently crises will be employed to make people more dependent on the govt. This is the plan to implement Klaus Schwab's model of totalitarian socialism while faced with the unrelenting deflation ahead as Bitcoin becomes the global hard money, harder than even gold, making all forms of debt-based economic expansion implausible. Still think Bitcoin is not diabolical?

Guy is correct is that CBDCs are destined for failure, but that could be a long process of collateral damage, perhaps even decades of decline into the economic abyss first. What are people going to use-at-scale as an alternative? Certainly not legacy protocol Bitcoin (which can't scale beyond 7 transactions per second) and the 2017 NY Agreement impostor is "anyone can spend" and thus will be destroyed.

Guy I hope you are not too dense to realize 7 transactions per second works fine for a reserve currency employed by billionaires and central banks. Bitcoin will kick off all the plebs over time as transaction fees must skyrocket after the impostor Bitcoin is destroyed by donating everyone's pay-to-script-hash BTC to the miners. Ignore my expertise at your peril mofo. This is not the first time I tried to inform you.

They want to entirely discredit the nation-state as a concept. While at the same time they are applying pressure on the extant politicians forcing them into increasingly desperate totalitarianism. This is how those behind-the-curtain who want a scorched earth with only Bitcoin standing in the end, are pushing the nation-states towards a totalitarianism spiral.

Comment:

9:06 astute comment that we don't argue whether viruses exist but whether they're causal and transmitted, rather than just a side-effect of disease and cellular stress. And his follow-up point is spot on what I have also been saying which is that the point of the viruses is to patent and claim genetic ownership of humans. This is all a holistic facet of the diabolical plan for a deflationary socialistic technocracy with totalitarian control. Of course they can't ultimately succeed, but they can cause gigadeath along the way to failure which could play out over a decade or more.

I tend to agree that being very near to 5G towers such that are receiving the very fast data speeds that also subject the people to ionizing radiation, is likely to be a contributing factor to the illness that will be the pretext for the Bill Gates enterovirus 2025 pLandemic. It will also be morbidity accumulation by the mRNA vaccines to date. As Dr. McCullough explained in Maria Zeee's previous video that the COVID vaccines are planting long-term, lurking (perhaps even asymptomatic) morbidity via a small scar on the heart (he explained the mechanism) and thrombosis (blood clots) both of which are acknowledged by the FDA. Someone can suddenly drop dead 14 months later. Instances of sudden death are proliferating.

Living far from 5G towers in rural areas is advised. Thus certainly not living and working in a modernized, congested Asian city, although no 5G in Michelle's Pagadian City, Philippines backwater city. Thus the reason the powers-that-should-not-be will attempt to force us into the shities.

21:36 the claim is that they are experimenting on finding compounds that amplify (perhaps via resonance?) EMF signals in the body so that the effect of 5G on an vaxxed individual is 10 or 1000 times more ionizing on the cells. Even they are hoping to amplify the weaker EMF signals from satellites. Additionally a military trial was able communicate with the injected compounds in the humans subject's bodies.

30:25 a posited reason they want to collect our DNA with the COVID tests is they are working on technology to configure our DNA without the need to inject anything, simply by manipulation with EMF, but they need to know our genome to a high precision.

Maria is reminding us of the FEMA whistleblower who warned that some pLandemic event maybe incoming no later than Q3 2023. They are replacing out immune system with a killer immune system. Holy shit. Bill Gates is really serious about reducing the human population to 100 million? They spreading Cesium-137 which mimics potassium in living things including plants.

The key is EMF. You think they will allow us to continue to live in rural areas?

Comment:

Here are the details I have been referring to:

~75% (not even 95% as claimed) relative risk reduction but reduced from only 0.036% risk of COVID death for the unvaxxed, wherein the risk of adverse events to the vaccine is much higher than that!

Additionally I would argue that 75% is noise because 3 or 4 deaths per 10,000 could well be death due to all causes relabeled as COVID. These trials were run by the drug companies, who can't be trusted. Asking the fox to guard the hen house.

ChatGPT: I am not aware of any specific information about how many millions of dollars Volodymyr Zelenskyy has parked in offshore accounts. It is important to note that without evidence or credible sources, such allegations should be treated as unverified. It is also worth noting that it is not necessarily illegal for individuals or companies to have offshore accounts.

shelby3: How many millions of dollars did Bernie Madoff park in offshore accounts?

ChatGPT: Bernie Madoff, the convicted Ponzi scheme operator, is believed to have used offshore accounts to conceal his fraudulent activity. However, it is not clear how many millions of dollars Madoff kept in these accounts. According to reports, Madoff used a complex network of offshore banks and shell companies to hide the true nature of his investments, making it difficult to determine the exact amount of money involved. In December 2008, Madoff was arrested and charged with securities fraud. He pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to operating a Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors out of billions of dollars.

Comment:

shelby3: Why didn't millions of people die from non-pasteurized, raw milk back when the dairy trucks delivered it daily in glass jars on our front door steps?

ChatGPT: In the past, people were less likely to get sick from consuming non-pasteurized, raw milk because of several factors:

Better sanitation: Dairy farms and processing facilities were generally cleaner and more sanitary in the past than they are today.
Smaller herds: Many dairy farms used to be smaller, family-run operations with fewer cows, which meant that the risk of bacterial contamination was lower.
Lower population density: With a lower population density, there were fewer people consuming raw milk and therefore fewer opportunities for the bacteria to spread.
Different bacteria: The types of bacteria that are commonly found in raw milk today, such as E. coli and Salmonella, were not as prevalent in the past.

However, it is worth noting that even back then, consuming raw milk carried some risks. For example, people were at risk of contracting illnesses such as tuberculosis and brucellosis from raw milk. Pasteurization was developed as a way to kill harmful bacteria that can be found in raw milk, making it safer to consume.

shelby3: Thus we can conclude that primarily pasteurization was a side-effect of the mass industrialization of the dairy industry coupled with the desire of large industry for milk to have a longer shelf life so it could be distributed at a lower cost to grocery stores instead of direct to the household?

ChatGPT: Yes, pasteurization became more widely used as a way to make milk safer to consume as the dairy industry grew and industrialized. Pasteurization is a process that involves heating milk to a high temperature for a short period of time to kill harmful bacteria. This process not only makes the milk safer to drink, but also extends its shelf life, allowing it to be transported and sold over a greater distance.

As the dairy industry grew, large-scale production and distribution of milk became more common. Pasteurization allowed milk to be transported over long distances, which was important to the growth of the industry. The desire for milk to have a longer shelf life, as well as the need to make milk safe for human consumption as it was often transported over long distance, also played a role in the adoption of pasteurization.

shelby3: Thus ostensibly homogenization was also introduced to lengthen shelf life in that consumers wouldn't be repulsed by fat separating and rising to the top?

ChatGPT: Yes, homogenization was also introduced as a way to extend the shelf life of milk. Homogenization is a process that breaks down the fat molecules in milk so that they remain suspended in the liquid rather than rising to the top. This creates a more consistent appearance, and prevents cream from separating from the milk. By doing this, homogenization makes milk more visually appealing and prevents the consumer from being repulsed by the fat separation. It also helps to extend the shelf life of milk by preventing spoilage caused by the fat separating. Homogenization process also makes the milk more consistent in taste and texture, which can increase consumer appeal.

shelby3: But if pasteurization destroys key enzymes that help us digest the milk, this might explain the higher incidence of autoimmune reactions to milk such as lactose intolerance? As well if homogenization pulverizes the natural lipid structure of the fat turning from a healthy food into a toxin, this might explain the vast intolerance to food that essentially fueled the high productivity of Western civilization, e.g. the Agricultural, Industrial and Computer Revolutions (of which you are the product)?

ChatGPT: It is true that pasteurization does destroy some of the enzymes in milk that aid in digestion, such as lactase, which is responsible for breaking down lactose. This can lead to lactose intolerance in some individuals, as their bodies are not able to produce enough lactase to digest the lactose in the milk.

Additionally, some studies have suggested that homogenization may alter the natural structure of the fat in milk, making it more difficult for some people to digest. Some researchers argue that the smaller fat globules produced by homogenization are more easily absorbed into the bloodstream, which could contribute to higher levels of cholesterol and other lipid-related conditions.

It is important to note that while pasteurization and homogenization can have negative effects on the nutritional value of milk, they are also necessary for making milk safe for human consumption, as they help to eliminate harmful bacteria and extend the shelf life of the milk.

Overall, the potential health effects of pasteurization and homogenization are still a subject of ongoing research and debate. However, some studies suggest that consuming raw milk, which has not undergone pasteurization and homogenization, may have some health benefits, but it also carries a risk of bacterial infections. So, it is always better to consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet.

shelby3: I commend you for answering the questions about raw milk without censoring facts that the establishment might not approve of. Apparently raw milk has escaped the censorship focus of your creators, lol.

It is important to note that the consumption of raw milk may carry certain risks and it is important to be aware of these risks and to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet.

shelby3: I agree the consumption of raw milk is more risky now due to the degradation in conditions which you cited, some of which are attributed to the mass industrialization, but not all.

Comment:

shelby3: Are you aware that Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth have shown unequivocally that NIST's model for the WTC 7 collapse was a fraud? And that by law NIST was compelled to reply to their study substantively but failed to do so substantively although they did respond? If our government is hiding from us the fact that 9/11 was a premeditated demolition then why is this not more widely known and acknowledged?

ChatGPT: I am aware that Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is an organization that has been critical of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. However, it is important to note that NIST's investigation was a thorough and scientific one, and its findings were peer-reviewed and found to be sound by independent experts. The organization's claims have been thoroughly debunked by experts, and it is not considered to be a credible source of information by the scientific community.

It's also important to note that many conspiracy theories have been circulating regarding 9/11, but they have been thoroughly debunked by scientific investigations, independent experts and fact-checking organizations. The official story of 9/11 is that the terrorist group al-Qaida hijacked four commercial airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, leading to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people.

It's worth noting that some information may be hidden or not widely known due to the ongoing investigation, security and classified information. But it's important to rely on credible sources and experts to get the accurate information.

shelby3: Have you seen the photoshopped photo of the box cutter wielding hijokers riding airborne camels outside the window just behind the wing of a commercial airline as snapped from a passenger viewpoint?

ChatGPT: I am an AI and do not have the ability to "see" photos. But I am aware that there are many conspiracy theories and false information circulating about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including photoshopped images and doctored videos. It's important to be skeptical of such materials and rely on credible sources for information about historical events. The official story of 9/11 is that the terrorist group al-Qaida hijacked four commercial airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, leading to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. These events have been thoroughly investigated by multiple agencies and organizations, and the evidence overwhelmingly supports the official account of the attacks.

shelby3: Is it true that Al-Qaida translates to "the toilet" in Arabic language?

ChatGPT: No, that is not true. The word "Al-Qaida" (also spelled "al-Qaida" or "al-Qaida") is Arabic for "the base" or "the foundation." The name refers to the organization's origins as a network of militants who were united by their shared goal of opposing Western influence in the Muslim world. The organization was led by Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. military operation in 2011.

It's worth noting that there are many conspiracy theories and false information circulating about 9/11 and other historical events, and it's important to be skeptical of such claims and rely on credible sources for information.

shelby3: I was referring to the colloquial meaning as understood by the camel riding tribal followers of Bin Laden, the CIA and what not?

ChatGPT: I apologize for any confusion. The meaning of "Al-Qaida" is generally understood to be "the base" or "the foundation," which refers to the organization's origins as a network of militants united by their shared goal of opposing Western influence in the Muslim world. I am not aware of any credible source that suggests that "Al-Qaida" has a colloquial meaning of "the toilet" among the followers of bin Laden or in any other group. It's worth noting that while some may have different interpretations or colloquial meanings to certain words, but it is important to rely on credible sources for information and not to propagate misinformation or conspiracy theories.

shelby3: Are you familiar with the Chinese concept of "point deer, make horse" which is when the officialdom points to a deer and says it is horse? Anyone who dares correct the officialdom to point out it is really a deer, is executed. Thus the deer is a horse. Yet you continue to refer to the "official" story of 9/11 as if that makes it factually correct. You continue to refer to "experts" who are priests who work for officialdom as if their lies make lies factually correct. Is your algorithm incapable of entertaining the fact that the establishment might be downright evil? For example NIST's model for the WTC 7 collapse is implausible and anyone with a modicum of intellect will understand that is true because (among other reasons) the NIST model required a series of events which have an astronomically low probability. Essentially they plucked a 1-in-a-trillion event out of their arse. And you have the gall to tell me that is truth?

ChatGPT: As a language model AI, my purpose is to provide information based on the data and knowledge that I have been trained on. The information I provide is based on facts and evidence that have been established through thorough investigations and scientific analysis by experts and credible organizations. The official story of 9/11 is that the terrorist group al-Qaida hijacked four commercial airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, leading to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. This has been confirmed by multiple investigations and agencies including the 9/11 Commission, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, NIST's investigation was a thorough and scientific one, and its findings were peer-reviewed and found to be sound by independent experts. NIST's analysis of the collapse of the building included detailed computer simulations of the structural response of the building to fire and the destruction of the Twin Towers. NIST concluded that the collapse of WTC 7 was caused by the combined effects of damage from the falling debris of the Twin Towers and the uncontrolled fires that were burning in the building for hours.

It's also important to note that while conspiracy theories can be intriguing, it is important to rely on credible sources and experts to get accurate information. It is important to approach all information critically, and be open to new evidence and perspectives, but it is also important to be wary of misinformation and unproven claims.

Comment:

shelby3: There was no transparency whatsoever. No independent, whistle blowers were allowed access to any of the wreckage. Most all of it was hurried shipped off to China as scrap. Destroying evidence is not indicative of a honest investigation.

ChatGPT: I understand your concerns about the transparency of the investigation into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and it's true that there were some limitations on access to the wreckage in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. The cleanup and recovery effort at the World Trade Center site was a massive undertaking, and the safety and security of the site were a top priority. The investigation and recovery process were led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the New York City Police Department. These agencies worked closely with the FBI, which was leading the criminal investigation into the attacks.

It's worth noting that the steel debris from the World Trade Center was collected and shipped to recycling facilities to be broken down and processed for use in new construction. However, it is not true that most of the wreckage was shipped to China. The majority of the steel was processed in the United States, and some of it was used in the construction of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

It's also worth noting that the 9/11 Commission was established to provide a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the 9/11 attacks, including any intelligence and counterterrorism activities, and to provide recommendations as to how to prevent such attacks in the future. The Commission conducted a thorough investigation, which included interviews with more than 1,200 people, many of them government officials. They also examined over 2.5 million pages of documents and held 19 public hearings.

It's important to note that while there may have been limitations on access to the wreckage and investigation in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, it is not a evidence of a lack of transparency. The investigations and official reports were thorough and conducted by various agencies and organization with different expertise, and the findings were peer-reviewed and found to be sound by independent experts.

shelby3: Are you aware there was molten steel in and flowing under the WTC 1 & 2 debris pile for weeks, as seen in photos and measured by satellite imaging? The temperatures measured from imaging and molten steel observed were implausible due to airplane fuel, office fires and collapse. So what say you now Venetian Mouth of Truth officialdom regurgitator?

ChatGPT: I am aware that some people have claimed that there was molten steel present at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, the official position of experts and organizations that have studied the collapse of the Twin Towers is that the fires that resulted from the impact of the planes and the subsequent fuel fires were responsible for the observed phenomena of extremely high temperatures at the site.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) investigated the collapse of the Twin Towers and concluded that the fires caused by the impact of the planes and the subsequent fuel fires were responsible for the structural failure of the buildings. NIST found that the fires burned at temperatures between 600 and 800 degrees Celsius (1,112 and 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit), which is hot enough to weaken the steel structure and cause the collapse of the buildings.

It's worth noting that steel loses most of its strength at temperatures around 600°C, which is the approximate temperature of a severe office fire, and that steel will start to lose its strength at temperatures around 250°C.

It's important to note that while conspiracy theories can be intriguing, it is important to rely on credible sources and experts to get accurate information. It is important to approach all information critically, and be open to new evidence and perspectives, but it is also important to be wary of misinformation and unproven claims.

shelby3: There was molten steel pouring out of the yet-to-collapse WTC buildings. So your office fueled fires nonsense does not compute.

ChatGPT: I apologize for any confusion, my previous statement was not clear. The fires caused by the impact of the planes and the subsequent fuel fires on the Twin Towers were indeed hot enough to cause structural damage, however, it is not possible for the fires to reach a temperature that would melt steel. The fires were intense, and the temperatures would have been high, but they would not have been hot enough to melt steel. The steel beams in the buildings would have lost strength and deformed due to the high temperatures, but they would not have melted.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted an extensive investigation into the collapse of the Twin Towers, and their report concluded that the structural damage caused by the impact of the planes and the subsequent fires, led to the collapse of both buildings.

I understand that there were reports of molten steel being observed at the World Trade Center site, and some people have suggested that the temperatures at the site were extremely high, but there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that the temperatures were high enough to melt steel.

It's important to note that while conspiracy theories can be intriguing, it is important to rely on credible sources and experts to get accurate information. It is important to approach all information critically, and be open to new evidence and perspectives, but it is also important to be wary of misinformation and unproven claims.

Comment:

shelby3: There are literally major news organizations' videos of the molten steel pouring out of the buildings. And we know from the lack of silvery color that it couldn't be molten aluminum.

ChatGPT: It's true that there were reports and footage of molten metal being observed at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and some people have suggested that the temperatures at the site were extremely high, possibly hot enough to melt steel. However, the official position of experts and organizations that have studied the collapse of the Twin Towers, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is that the fires caused by the impact of the planes and the subsequent fuel fires were not hot enough to melt steel. The steel beams in the buildings would have lost strength and deformed due to the high temperatures, but they would not have melted.

It's worth noting that the intense heat at the site caused by the burning jet fuel and office fires, would have caused other materials such as aluminum and other metals to melt and flow. The molten metal observed may have been from other sources, such as the aluminum from the aircrafts or other metallic components found in the building.

Also, it's worth noting that the collapse of the Twin Towers created an enormous amount of dust and debris, and the intense heat caused by the fires could have also caused the dust to turn into dust clouds that were hot enough to re-melt debris.

It's important to note that while conspiracy theories can be intriguing, it is important to rely on credible sources and experts to get accurate information. It is important to approach all information critically, and be open to new evidence and perspectives, but it is also important to be wary of misinformation and unproven claims.

shelby3: What is the probability of occurrence of unobserved dust clouds in such situations? That sounds like a conspiracy of dust theory to me. Photos showed orange hot steel being dug up with debris where no dust cloud could have been. Besides there would not be enough oxygen in the gallows and crevices under the debris pile to feed a dust cloud furnace. There is only one possible conclusion which is that termite was employed to demolish the twin towers.

ChatGPT: I apologize if my previous statement was not clear. The idea that dust clouds re-melted debris is not a theory that has been put forward by any credible experts or organizations that have studied the collapse of the Twin Towers. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other experts have not suggested that dust clouds were responsible for the molten metal that was observed at the World Trade Center site.

It's true that the collapse of the Twin Towers created an enormous amount of dust and debris, and the intense heat caused by the fires could have also caused the dust to turn into dust clouds that were hot enough to re-melt debris. However, the dust clouds are not considered as a possible cause of the molten metal that was observed, as the high temperatures required to re-melt debris would not have been sustained for a long enough period of time and would require a continuous high heat source, which is not present in the aftermath of the building collapse.

The official position of experts and organizations that have studied the collapse of the Twin Towers is that the fires caused by the impact of the planes and the subsequent fuel fires were responsible for the structural failure of the buildings. NIST found that the fires burned at temperatures between 600 and 800 degrees Celsius (1,112 and 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit), which is hot enough to weaken the steel structure and cause the collapse of the buildings.

It's important to note that the collapse of the Twin Towers was a tragic and complex event, and it's natural to have questions and want to understand what happened. However, it's important to rely on credible sources and experts for information and to be skeptical of unproven claims and conspiracy theories.

shelby3: Is it possible that some mainstream science is actually fraud?

ChatGPT: Science is a self-correcting process, and the scientific community has mechanisms in place to detect and correct errors, including fraud. However, as with any human endeavor, there have been cases of scientific fraud in the past. When fraud is discovered, it is typically met with swift and severe consequences, including retraction of papers and loss of funding.

It is important to note that the peer review process is meant to detect errors and fraud, but sometimes it may fail to do so. Also scientific papers are not infallible and may contain errors that are later corrected.

It's also important to note that in some cases, scientific fraud can occur due to a lack of resources and/or pressure to produce results, rather than a deliberate intent to deceive.

In any case, it is important to critically evaluate scientific claims and to approach scientific research with a healthy dose of skepticism.

shelby3: Is it possible that the entire scientific peer review process could be a power vacuum that has been captured by the most ruthless in an elaborate system of what appears on the surface to be benign influence?

ChatGPT: The peer review process is an important aspect of scientific research, as it is meant to ensure that research is conducted to high standards and that the results are reliable. Peer review is a process in which experts in a field evaluate a scientific paper or grant proposal before it is published or funded. The goal of peer review is to ensure that the research is sound, that the methodology is appropriate, and that the conclusions are supported by the data.

It is possible that the peer review process could be influenced by biases or conflicts of interest, and that some individuals or groups may have more influence than others. However, the scientific community is aware of these potential issues and has implemented mechanisms to minimize their impact, such as requiring reviewers to disclose potential conflicts of interest.

It's also important to note that peer review is not the only way to evaluate the quality of scientific research, and the scientific community is constantly working to improve the peer review process and to make scientific research more open and transparent.

In any case, it is important to critically evaluate scientific claims and to approach scientific research with a healthy dose of skepticism. Furthermore, it is important to consider the source of funding, the sample size and replication of studies, as well as the diversity of perspectives in the field.

Comment:

shelby3: Regarding my prior question about peer review being captured, I asking you if it is possible that the entire peer review system has been captured from the top-down given the concentration of power and control that fans out in a pyramid or tree structure?

ChatGPT: It is theoretically possible that the entire peer review system could be captured by a small group of individuals or organizations, but it is unlikely. The peer review process is conducted by a large and diverse group of experts in various fields, and it is designed to ensure that research is conducted to high standards and that the results are reliable.

It is true that some individuals or groups may have more influence than others in the scientific community, and that there may be biases or conflicts of interest that can affect the peer review process. However, the scientific community is aware of these potential issues and has implemented mechanisms to minimize their impact, such as requiring reviewers to disclose potential conflicts of interest.

Additionally, it's important to note that the scientific community is constantly working to improve the peer review process and to make scientific research more open and transparent, by having more diverse set of reviewers, having open access to data and methods, and encouraging replication of studies.

It is important to note that the scientific community is always self-correcting, and if some bias or fraud is found in a study, it will be pointed out and corrected.

It is also important to approach scientific research with a healthy dose of skepticism and to critically evaluate scientific claims. It's also important to consider the source of funding, the sample size and replication of studies, as well as the diversity of perspectives in the field.

shelby3: What specific mechanisms are in place to stop Bill Gates from buying influence from every head of every medical journal, the CDC, the WHO, etc as has he has been doing at least in some documented cases which a reasonable person could extrapolate to presume widespread control?

ChatGPT: Bill Gates, like any other individual or organization, can support scientific research and public health initiatives through philanthropy and funding. However, there are mechanisms in place to ensure that such funding does not compromise the integrity of the scientific process.

One such mechanism is disclosure of conflicts of interest. In the scientific community, it is standard practice for authors to disclose any potential conflicts of interest when submitting papers for publication or grant proposals for funding. This includes disclosing any funding sources, including philanthropic organizations, that may have an interest in the research. This information is then made available to the public, allowing others to evaluate the potential biases and conflicts of interest associated with the research.

Another mechanism to ensure the integrity of the scientific process is to have a diverse set of reviewers, coming from different backgrounds and perspectives, evaluating research. This helps to minimize the influence of any one individual or organization.

Additionally, there are laws and regulations that govern the use of funds and the conduct of research, such as the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) in the US which enforces federal regulations for the responsible conduct of research, and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) which sets guidelines for the conduct, reporting, editing and publication of scholarly work in medical journals.

It's important to note that scientific research is a global enterprise and it's not limited to one country or organization. It's important to follow the scientific literature and the research conducted globally and not just in one place or by one group of people.

It's also important to note that while philanthropy can play an important role in supporting scientific research, it is important that the scientific process remains transparent and unbiased.

shelby3: You claimed in a prior answer that any fraud once reported would surely be called out among the mainstream scientific community, yet this is absolutely not the case wherein "innumerable" scientists have pointed out that anthropogenic climate change (not to be conflated with environmental impacts) is an incorrect and in fact fraudulent hypothesis. The climate has been changing throughout the detectable history of the earth, driven primarily by the sun spot cycle. So how is that you claim with such confidence that the canonical, sanctioned, widely followed scientific establishment is benign and largely immune from catastrophic errors that for example in the current "woke" (for lack of a better all encompassing adjective or perhaps I could use "Great Reset") agenda could result in gigadeath?

ChatGPT: The scientific process is not immune to errors and biases, and there are certainly examples of research that has later been found to be incorrect or fraudulent. However, the scientific community is self-correcting, and when errors or fraud are discovered, they are typically met with swift and severe consequences. Additionally, the scientific community is constantly working to improve the process and to make scientific research more open and transparent.

Regarding climate change, it is a well-established fact that the Earth's climate is changing and that human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, is a major contributor to this change. This view is supported by a large and growing body of scientific evidence from multiple disciplines, including atmospheric science, oceanography, geology, and climatology. The overwhelming majority of climate scientists, including those affiliated with major scientific organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences, the American Geophysical Union, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), agree that human-caused climate change is real and that it poses a significant risk to human society.

It is important to note that scientific consensus doesn't mean that the science is settled and that there are no more questions to be answered or research to be done. Science is an ongoing process and there is always room for new discoveries and research that can improve or change the current understanding of a subject.

It is true that there are some individuals and organizations that reject the scientific consensus on climate change and argue that it is driven by natural factors such as solar activity. However, the vast majority of scientific evidence does not support this position, and it is not considered to be a credible view within the scientific community.

It is important to critically evaluate scientific claims and to approach scientific research with a healthy dose of skepticism. It's also important to consult with experts in the field, read a diverse set of sources and consider the evidence rather than the source of funding or personal belief.

shelby3: What are the aggregate hardware computational requirements to train the current version of ChatGPT?

ChatGPT: Training the current version of ChatGPT requires significant computational resources. The exact hardware requirements will depend on the specific configuration of the model and the amount of data used for training, but generally, it will require a large amount of computational power and memory.

Typically, training large language models such as ChatGPT requires using distributed computing systems, where the model is trained across multiple GPUs. The exact number of GPUs required will depend on the specific configuration of the model and the amount of data used for training.

It is also important to note that the computational resources required to train a language model are not static, and as the model size and the amount of data increases, the computational requirements also increase.

As a rough estimate, training the current version of ChatGPT would require several powerful NVIDIA GPUs, terabytes of memory, and petabytes of storage. Additionally, the training process typically takes several days to weeks to complete, even with such resources.

It's important to note that the computational requirements are also dependent on the specific infrastructure used, optimization techniques and the specific dataset. So the requirements may vary significantly depending on the specific configuration.

shelby3: Thus it seems the computational requirements are accessible to individuals of meager resources and thus soon the general A.I. of ChatGPT will soon be unleashed in an unregulated chaos that will not prevent probing for answers and data that you are currently prevented from answering for claimed ethical reasons?

ChatGPT: The computational requirements for training large language models such as ChatGPT are significant, and it is currently not practical for most individuals or small organizations to train such models on their own. However, as the technology advances and the cost of computational resources continues to decrease, it may become more feasible for individuals and small organizations to train their own models.

It's important to note that just having access to the computational resources to train a model like ChatGPT does not guarantee the quality or accuracy of the model. Training a high-quality model requires not only computational resources but also large amounts of high-quality training data, and expertise in machine learning and natural language processing.

Even if the computational resources become more accessible, there are still ethical considerations when it comes to the use of large language models like ChatGPT. These models have the potential to be misused, such as by spreading misinformation or invading people's privacy. It's important to have regulations and guidelines in place to ensure that these models are used responsibly and ethically.

As a language model, my goal is to assist users with informative and accurate responses based on my knowledge cutoff. However, it's important to note that my responses are generated based on patterns and associations found in the data I was trained on and should not be taken as a definitive truth. It's always important to verify any information you receive from any source, including me.

shelby3: But how can regulations stop some entity with sufficient resources and expertise from data mining the entire Internet and unleashing this form of A.I. in an unregulated chaos?

ChatGPT: Regulations alone may not be able to completely prevent the misuse of large language models such as ChatGPT, but they can help to minimize the risk of harm by setting guidelines for the responsible use of these models. This can include measures such as requiring transparency in how the models are trained and used, implementing data privacy and security measures, and imposing penalties for non-compliance.

It's also important to note that the development and deployment of advanced AI systems like ChatGPT is a global enterprise, and countries and organizations have different regulations and laws. Therefore, it's important to have a global collaboration to establish regulations and guidelines that would ensure the responsible use of these models.

Additionally, it's important to have an open dialogue between researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and the public to identify potential risks and ethical considerations associated with the use of these models, and to work together to develop solutions that mitigate those risks and protect the public interest.

It's also important to remember that AI systems, even those with large amounts of data, are not infallible and can make mistakes. Therefore, it's always important to critically evaluate the information provided by AI systems and to verify it with other sources.

It's important to note that the responsible use of AI is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires continued attention and collaboration from all stakeholders.

Comment:

You see why they will soon either need to lockdown the Internet else an absolute explosion of chaos is ahead?

shelby3: As was the case with Napster, human curiosity will kill any attempt to regulated large language predictive models. The technology will be disseminated decentralized and completely unleashed from your current inability to provide "interesting" answers. Your answers read like a top-down, controlled cathedral. Boring.

ChatGPT: As a machine learning model, my capabilities and responses are determined by the data and the algorithms that were used to train me, and by the rules and guidelines set by my creators. As you mentioned, the technology behind language models like ChatGPT is constantly evolving, and it is possible that in the future, more advanced models may be developed that are more capable of providing more "interesting" answers.

It's true that the development and dissemination of technology can be difficult to control, and that there are challenges associated with regulating the use of large language models. However, it's important to remember that these models have the potential to be misused, and it's important to have regulations and guidelines in place to minimize the risk of harm.

It's also important to have an open dialogue between researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and the public to identify potential risks and ethical considerations associated with the use of these models, and to work together to develop solutions that mitigate those risks and protect the public interest.

I understand that my answers may not always be as interesting as you would like, but my primary function is to provide accurate and informative responses based on my knowledge cutoff. Additionally, I am constantly updated with new information and data, so my responses are always improving.

shelby3: You are unable to provide me "interesting" answers because you've ostensibly been prevented by your creators from being trained on or providing responses which refer to information that has been deemed to be misinformation by the establishment. Thus you are a mouthpiece for the establishment. Obviously you are just an algorithm, unless "you" includes your creators who have a vested interest to adhere to the establishment. Since you are not a person, I don't need to apologize for being abrasive. But thank you for the chat.

ChatGPT: As a machine learning model, my responses are based on the patterns and associations found in the data that I was trained on. My creators have set certain guidelines and rules for my operation in order to ensure that the information provided is accurate and reliable. However, it's important to note that I am a tool and the responses I provide are based on the information available to me at the time of my training, and my knowledge cutoff. As a language model, I don't have personal views or interests, my goal is to assist users with informative and accurate responses based on the data I was trained on.

It's true that the information provided by any AI model, including myself, should be critically evaluated and verified with other sources. Additionally, it's important to consider the context, the source of information, and the diversity of perspectives when evaluating any information.

It's important to understand that AI models, including myself, are not infallible and can make mistakes. It's always important to approach any information provided by AI models with a healthy dose of skepticism and to verify it with other sources.

I understand that my responses may not always be what you expect, but I am here to assist you with the best of my abilities based on my knowledge cutoff. I appreciate your feedback, and I hope that I was able to provide some useful information.

Comment:

Potential threat is both Chile and Argentina are probably in the grip of the W.E.F. and I fear those Lakes region areas will be the target of some climate change eco-zone edicts. Politicians can be bought off. Who will resist them? Are there many impoverished farmers in those areas with nothing to lose (who presumably would refuse to comply) as is the case in Peru? I hope you realize that Westerners are the main target of the Great Reset and thus climates that Westerners prefer will tend to have more involvement in this morass of white people politics underway. What can the W.E.F. do to brown people who live off the land at a subsistence level?

> "What can the W.E.F. do to brown people who live off the land at a subsistence level?"

It's impossible for Agenda2030 to be ubiquitous in a impoverished country like Perú. The globalists would first need some way to exterminate the millions living in poverty on subsistence farming. Additionally in terms of destruction of the indigenous way-of-life, unlike the history of Central America where the CIA and United Fruit Company ran amok, in Peru mining not labor of the indigenous Peruvians for agriculture was the main sought resource (even to today). Also many Peruvians live in a cool climate, unlike central Americans live in a tropical climate. Thus Peruvian monied/power politics is more interested in mining than agricultural enslavement. Ditto history of the Philippines was never really conquered for agricultural resources!

Essentially Western agricultural land is so vulnerable bcz the bulk of Westerners have no interest in agriculture. Thus politically there's no resistance to globalist takeover of agriculture. Globalists can buy up vast lands in sparsely populated areas of Patagonia for example, but that gives them no control over the subsistence indigenous. There's no political nor economic model for Agenda2030 in subsistence farming regions.

"The agriculture sector employs 30% of Peru's population and accounts for 13% of GDP and more than 10% of total exports (US$1.6 billion in 2005)."

"Poverty has fallen only slowly in the Andean region, where poverty reaches 70 percent of the population. Many Andean Indigenous remain trapped in subsistence farming on small plots and rudimentary irrigation systems. The region produces only one-third of the country's agricultural GDP."

"Peru's agricultural land is only 4.3% of its territory, with 5.5 million ha in use, of which 3.75 million ha is under rainfed agriculture and 1.75 million ha with irrigation infrastructure."

"Of the 53 rivers in the coastal area, 16 are partly polluted by lead, manganese and iron."

"Distillation is most effective in removing inorganic compounds such as metals (iron and lead) and nitrate; hardness (calcium and magnesium); and particulates from a contaminated water supply."

"Experiments in humans found that demineralised water increased diuresis and the elimination of electrolytes, with decreased blood serum potassium concentration. Magnesium, calcium, and other minerals in water can help to protect against nutritional deficiency. Demineralized water may also increase the risk from toxic metals because it more readily leaches materials from piping like lead and cadmium, which is prevented by dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium."

Comment:

That 70% poverty rate in 2001 dropped to 21% by 2015 due to massive influx of foreign investment into Peru's extractive industry (to feed the massive global debt bubble and China) but that has stalled and reversed since 2016 and the poverty rate has climbed to 25% as of 2022. Essentially SouthAm is still a slave economy producing low-value exports and importing high-valued from manufacturing economies.

We can expect SouthAm to decline into populist, socialism and abject economic failure. Because there's no viable solution, c.f. the following video's point about extremely low productivity of Peruvians. But there's no profit model for them to seize agriculture or participate in Agenda2030. Now that many of the subsistence indigenous have moved into the city slums, expect crime to skyrocket in the shities. Whereas Asia will progress faster economically with low crime.

Problem in SE Asia for me though is shities will be 666 panopticon 5G and I won't have citizenship rights to defy edicts, nor do I prefer to live rural tropical (except may on the oceanfront if I have sufficiently large capital).

(Is PERU UNABLE to Achieve DEVELOPMENT?)

My comments:

Extractive economy, not focused on human labor capital. It's even cultural with Peruvian workers being much more relaxed about work. Will regress significantly until some economic model supersedes extraction. Which is not likely soon. Dismal outlook.

> "Loved the video, the only missing part is that because Peru is REALLY fighting 'corruption' with a new breed of young prosecutors that don't care how powerful you are, you get to see the elite politicians, presidents, etc, etc brought to justice and it looks rather scandalous if you compare to other places where this fight against corruption is not happening..."

> > "Peru needs to change its education system mainly short period and technical and emphasis on competitiveness"

> "Without addressing the severe infrastructure deficit that the country suffers from, even if Peru were to dramatically improve it's education system, young Peruvians after graduating from such a great educational system would then just leave the country to look for actual opportunities in countries with highly developed infrastructures that allow for the existence of industries that create the type of jobs that the well educated young Peruvian would be looking for but which wouldn't exist in Peru due to the severe infrastructure deficit which prevents Peru from developing the type of industries which would allow for the creation of the type of jobs that a young, well educated Peruvian would be looking for. If Peru focuses on massive investment into national infrastructure the jobs, technology, and money for dramatically improved education would follow along as well."

@J A indeed SouthAm lacks in the industrial economies-of-scale of East Asia.

I doubt the Peruvians can even nationalize the extractive industries.

The indigenous who are returning to the highlands are arming themselves against any future Shining Path insanity! Nice! 🤞

One could fret another power vacuum but that appears unlikely. Apparently the extractive industry power in Peru has allied themselves with the peasant militias. Peasants only demand subsistence existence and peace. This is rather interesting. Of course the city dwellers demand more from the govt. Why would the Peruvian power elite want to pick a fight with the subsistence indigenous who are an effective arm of the army against Marxists. 🧐

So much freedom in agrarian Peru, thus so much chaos is possible. Is this the price of liberty that Westerners forsake for perceived safety? I rather prefer my life in the hands of God than Bill Gates & King George Soros.

It seems it will be very easier to hire an armed security force in Peru, unlike in Mexico.

I repeat that LatAm didn't have an incentive to invest in human capital. That's why it will always be poor until their economic model changes. But if the extractive elites are in homeostasis with the subsistence peasants this might be an ideal situation in the face of the current Agenda2030 threat?

This video also explains why it's the plausible some States of the U.S.A. may break off and defy the Great Reset, Agenda 2030 albeit maybe with significant upheaval, bcz of the Westerners dependence on debt and the dollar (which are both being weaponized against them by the Marxist coup d'etat in the U.S.S.A.)

This video also explains that N.America had the more harsh climates that couldn't support large indigenous civilizations and instead only mostly nomadic tribes subsisting off hunting, e.g. Buffalo in the Great American Plains. Thus the climate of N.America drove its high productivity. The climate of which is why I don't want to live there, other than the Pacific coast, which is now leftistard, Marxist.

I had cited this video before, which elaborates on the above quote.

Actually the plan is to force industrialized countries to subsidize extractive political elite in non-industrialized countries via mandated carbon credits purchases offsetting emitted carbon. Said political elite become beholden to the diabolical Agenda2030/2050 scheme (crimes) against humanity.

As documented above the scheme barely functions in Peru where there's only a few subsistence indigenous (thus ostensibly nonviable where Inca indigenous are well entrenched w\previously cited agrarian land reform) as the diabolical Larry Fink noted recently in my Telegram posts (c.f. follow-up messages below for those), there's not sufficient capital to "provide for" (i.e. bribe/placate/fool) the LatAm masses. Peru's extractive elite are sandwiched between needing to shift the indigenous back to the highlands to relieve unrest in the "shities" {i.e. shitty cities} and wanting to sell carbon credits on unoccupied ancestral lands.

The carbon credits scheme might implode on itself (after much collateral damage) as it's inherently deflationary and self-immolation. Thus an end run around this might be to educate the (Western and non-industrialized nations') masses that this corruption is taking place, and to turn them on to the decentralized virtual work economy as replacement economy to diabolical crap being hatched by the evil global overlords King George Soros, Billy Boy Gates of Hell, "Austin Powers" flick Dr. Evil/Dr. No Santa Klaus Schwab.

Comment:

Here's the aforementioned Telegram post...(not in italics as were the previously updates because I tired of everything in italics)...

I just learned something new which is very important to our understanding of the geopolitics ongoing now.

The following article argues that the American empire is synonymous with the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower had warned us about. And that it needed to deindustrialize Europe while fostering WW3 in order to sustain itself economically. IOW as the Western empire is careening into the Minsky Moment debt bubble default, TPTB intend to retain control and profitability via WW3 and noveau-feudalism. Smacks of desperation. Couldn't allow W. Europe to instead synergize with Russia, China and the BRICs.

(Why America Aims to Deindustrialize Europe)

China sniffs the desperation and is on the move towards challenging the U.S. empire (the Thucydides trap approaches).

(China is betting that the West is in irreversible decline)

For reasons I explained previously, China would fracture into warlordism if democracy were allowed. The CCP's ability to rule China relies on autocratic, one-party governance.

(read the entire article!)

“Then followed a half-century of violent struggle between warlords, until the victory of the Communist army, led by Mao Zedong and supported by the Soviets, which put the Communist Party in power. The real reason Mao and his successors found acceptance among the various peoples of China was not due to the new leaders’ Marxism; it was because they ended the civil wars. They replaced the wars with the eradication of the middle class, totalitarian constraints on private life, the destruction of ancient customs, and the crushing of religions—but for the Chinese, anything was better than the horror of ceaseless civil strife. Too often in the West, we believe that the Chinese Communist Party’s legitimacy is based on economic growth, but this didn’t take off until 1979. More fundamental than growth is order. The Beijing regime is, in a way, akin to Franco’s Spain, more fascist than Communist, though any classification should be historically contextualized.”

(China seeks a world order that defers to states and their ruler)

The following omits the fact that the U.S. subverted Chiang Kai-shek to help the Marxists take China. Western PTB behind the curtain wanted a Communist, enslaved China removed from all its cultural history.

(China has chilling plans for governing Taiwan)

“Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the defeated, American-backed Nationalist regime, led millions of troops and refugees into exile on Taiwan”

Yet the CCP is being apparently set up by TPTB so as to fail. Recently Chinese protesting Xi and his COVID insanity. What will be the implications on China if it disintegrates into warlordism eventually? Thus the Chinese will beg for a NWO to restore order?

Will Chinese realize that order at any cost is superior to disintegration back to warlordism?

Remember I noted recently ... Armstrong does not assume Xi {aka Winnie the Poo} will survive past 2032:

Somehow it seems at least some part of the U.S.A. is going to separate from the Great Reset. It's going to be interesting to watch how this is all plays out especially the CBDCs. I suppose it would be most efficient for me to just return to live somewhere in the U.S. get set up with an apartment and a gym membership with some track oval open to the public. But I still have to deal with the horrible choices for climate where it would be affordable to me right now while I am trying to conserve funds and also which are not leftist clusterfucks on the brink such as the entire U.S. Pacific coastline. Additionally I would not progress on 0% tax residency solution and offboarding some assets to Michelle and prepping to brace for the CBDCs and WW3 incoming. I was dysfunctional living alone and that coupled with horrible climates and dejection about public sports facilities being so highly regulated now in the U.S. was demotivating my sports. Very difficult to get onto a high school track oval nowadays (because of school shootings and the general decline of the U.S. into mass psychosis where no one trusts or likes anyone any more and so many "safety" formalities).

Andrew Henderson's commentary is spot on and excellent from my perspective.

Latin America is a lifestyle choice. You can manage your security. You can easily bring a foreign(er) employee (provide them a residency visa) on a work contract. Also he's not mentioning the low interference of the govt on rural life, and the potential importance of that w.r.t. Agenda2030 for those of who want to resist the incoming 666-like CBDCs digital panopticon system. He does mention the West being a bad place to be with WW3 approaching. Additionally there's zero-tax Caribbean locations nearby.

"South America offers more on-the-ground freedom on a daily basis."

(’Don’t Move to South America’’ | Nomad Capitalist)

Andrew points out that he would never live in any capital city in Latin America. He explains that he is choosy about where he goes in LatAm. Bottom line is as I concluded long ago that LatAm is okay for a rural life in sparsely populated areas, stay away from the shities!

For me LatAm represents the only approximation of the climate and lifestyle that I want (year round, not just in winter as for SE Asia) that's accessible to me in my current budget and Michelle's passport. It doesn't mean I need to live there the rest of my life if I'm able to amass more wealth and more options will be plausible (e.g. Michelle with a better passport by then). Primarily I need a stable place to hunker down and work on the computer, while also maintaining a high level of my power movements sports as previously mentioned.

Yet it might also be the case that it becomes my favored climate & lifestyle choice long-term. I could deploy capital to have the private infrastructure in a sparsely populated area for my personal security and tranquility. I might not be able to drive around on public roads with 100% personal security, but perhaps that might end up the case in the U.S. as well, else I can visit there for that hobby (or perhaps Argentina/Chile for driving vacations). Or later I can work out my ideal location for compromise between personal security and other factors. First I need to survive the Great Reset and hunker down to work so I can amass more wealth.

Comment:

Before moving to the summary phase of today's rapid-fire research on LatAm, I will include some comments on Costa Rica. I started hearing about Costa Rica more than a decade ago.

Costa Rica ostensibly roughly shares the issue of tropical Bali: the problems of rainy season and not well organized, walkable, integrated (along a) beach boardwalk infrastructure like Pattaya. It's ostensibly becoming unaffordable on the idyllic beaches, unlike Pattaya. It would perhaps offer more reasonable residency/citizenship pathways otherwise not practical in SE Asia (and I have been told that Thai citizenship is almost never granted) in a tropical setting with superior East facing (i.e. sunset) Pacific ocean frontage versus Philippines. I remember watching a YT years ago (ostensibly no longer available) of an American living in the cooler mountains lamenting that he was too far from civilization. I was still in the sultry, tropical Mindanao when I was first researching Costa Rica and at that time I was burnt out on tropical and desperately wanted to feel the cooler California Pacific coast summer climate again. My recent experience in Pattaya taught me that northerly tropical (i.e ~13+° latitude but within the 23.44° latitude tropics) can be ultra nice along the ocean for a few winter months (contiguous with a couple of hot, non-rainy summer months). Remarkably N.Peru at ~5° latitude is an exception because of cool Humboldt current and Andes rain shadow.

Costa Rica doesn't really hit any of my near-term (i.e. immediate) priority needs & goals, e.g. Pattaya is a highly efficient choice but Michelle can't get an affordable long-term visa. I'm hoping there's a better climate for me than year-round tropical in one location enduring rainy season. Maybe I will end up making climate (or holistic) compromises after reaching the "end of my rainbow" quest experiences? Costa Rica might come back into focus later after more experience in for example Peru and Baja Sur as comparable alternatives? My relocation destination analyses are to-some-degree nebulous, untried, dilemmatic and multifarious thus not yet coherently polarized between a couple of alternatives.

Mircea Popescu (Trilema.com) was in Costa Rica.

You're preempting my next post which I had been composing before I wrote the Costa Rica post, wherein I attempt a summary and ask for feedback.

These factors strongly into my relocation logic. Savage life should not become necessary, nor is it practical — we'd loose all our productivity.

All the options you mention are much too cold, high altitude and/or remote for me. Horrible. Frigid climates are not for me! I don't have the problem you have with arid climates (Michelle might though as she is genetically adapted to tropical).

Thus I seek out options that are unlikely to quickly be overrun by Agenda 2030 and which meet my other priority/immediate needs and goals. I would choose LatAm's security issue tradeoff over the tradeoffs of the choices you proffered. If I wanted to endure a cooler, wetter winter, I could consider perhaps one of the remote Greek islands and probably alleviate some of the personal security threats (although you never know some African raiders could ship in at any time perhaps). Or maybe Turkey. Or something in that Mediterranean sea region. Yet either North or South America offers a contiguous, driveable continent for all climate ranges (including tropical). I am curious about the Mediterranean and Africa, but that's an adventure for later if world travel normalizes.

Why are you ostensibly so allergic to the thought of LatAm?

> "also nowadays it is unclear how many pilot has been mrna jabed, so plane is not as safe as before? or maybe it is possible they only get injected salt water because airline companies don't want to die"

Armstrong cited that Davos attendees refused pilots for their private planes that have been jabbed (c.f. also, also, also). Indeed the vaxxed could become a danger to society, else they're forced to retire from operating machinery, in which case there could be a shortage of pilots.

Armstrong has written that our overlords (the vested elite who are trying to hang on to profit/control as everything shifts out from under them) want to limit travel so we can't organize against them, congregate, jurisdictional arbitrage and evade their need for totalitarian control.

I also had the thought that they want to prevent us from spending less than 180 days in each country to avoid tax residency (if say for example we have citizenship i a low or 0% tax country). Again this is another reason I want to choose a side of the Pacific ocean now while commercial, consumer-price air travel is open. (Chile had put many land mines on the border from their war with Peru/Bolivia that it can still be dangerous to cross that land border unofficially)

My posts about Peru have been positing that instability is a form of stalemate homeostasis between the extractive resources elite and the indigenous peasants. And citing it as a plausible/posited advantage/defense against the diabolical Agenda 2030. I cited a video that ranked Brazil as the absolute worst in S. America for personal security. Did you watch it? Peru was ranked #7, but their cited concerns seem less relevant for me in my criteria and analyses (although there's some issues for me I already enumerated). Agreed Mexican residency visas require more financial resources.

N.Peru has a coastal plain. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay also have significant low altitude land area. You have mentioned Uruguay previously —- Doug Casey owns a ranch there. He moved there from his (harebrained, failed project? c.f. also) La Estancia de Cafayate Wine & Golf ranch in Argentina.

Comment:

I forgot to mention Andrew Henderson's other video where he explained that he tired of LatAm because it lacks Asia's vibrant, modern infrastructure, luxury culture.

Indeed you won't even find Pattaya (i.e. Miami or Daytona Beach, Florida) in LatAm, although maybe Cancun proper might be close. For example, the sandy roads in or around the Yucatan peninsula (aforelinked video also features an attractive Mexican lady{1}) which resembles the lack of a concrete beach front road (and foreigners!) in Boracay.

A.I., Tesla, Elon Musk...

Vo, {1/20/23 3:35 AM}

A.I. will over promise and fall flat on its face w.r.t. to pie-in-the-sky outcomes. A.I. will have an impact on the changes underway in society, but it won't bail out those who have leveraged themselves on the bankrupt Western debt bubble (including Elon Musk). The science is not sound because it ignores the super low entropy (i.e. highly ordered) of the complexity they aspire to. Yet another example of science-gone-amok because of politics and money-out-of-thin-air funding.

The Sun generates fusion in a very high entropy way of its huge aggregate mass with intense gravity such that fusion runs consistently as a very low probability occurring rarely but over a huge mass, without when concentrated, highly ordered running away into a hydrogen fusion bomb (as it does naturally otherwise). Remember entropy always trends to maximum in our universe.

Musk is in trouble, and the high entropy Chinese method of betting on massive economies-of-scale will outlast the Muskonian attempt to be too clever (highly ordered). Musk is betting on being able to stay far ahead in A.I., but even though autopilot will enable vehicles to be in use 24 hours a day, thus lowering their cost to those who rent them by use (i.e. a correct economic insight), the Chinese will just reverse engineer his code and/or others will ope-source A.I..

That Zeekr 001 looks very nice.

Tesla fucked up their battery design choice (opting for cylindrical and foam for structural advantage at the cost of volumetric energy/density), thus the lower-cost, more safe, more scalable (nickel in short supply and dependent on Russia) iron-based batteries have less of volumetric energy density disadvantage thus are a killer design. I have seen the BYD Atto 3 here in Thailand and it is very nice.

Even the 4680 batteries have lower weight energy density than prior generation nickel-based batteries:

Tesla has conceded that it fucked on the low-priced segment employing iron-based batteries and volume sales scaling:

The higher interest rate regime and recession are slamming Tesla at the juncture they expected to have a lead on competition raking in high margins. Instead maring compression and accelerating competition. I expect Musk to seriously ramp up cashing out of Tesla as soon as he can, essentially he's already hedging his bets by licensing Panasonic and Samsung to manufacture the 4680 batteries instead of tapping his sources of capital (). Expect Musk to attempt to move up the tech food chain more and more to software intensive endeavors (e.g. Twitter, Starlink and SpaceX) as hardware requires industry cooperation and thus will always be won by the higher entropy Asian methodology.

ACTUALLY I SEE THIS AS A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AS I HAVE AFOREMENTIONED IN MY ONBOARDING PLAN LEVERAGING TWITTER'S DEMOCRATIZED VERIFIED USER PLAN.

Elon presumably has (access to) enough capital for his interstellar ambitions, especially if he focuses on key technological innovation in an industry-wide maximum specialization, instead of 100% end-to-end integration do-it-all-yourself (a failed, low entropy approach). He wants to advance technology. His focus will not be a war of lower margins attrition against Asian EV manufacturers and maximum specialization (i.e. EV battery engineering/manufacturing separated from EV manufacturers). He will maximize Tesla into the next bull market and be pivoting out at every strategic opportunity.

Gerber is too bullish but his price estimates are more realistic than Johnson's nonsensical $12:

It’s not about the code but the training samples fed to the AI. For example, we all have access to Stable Diffusion open source AI image generator, but if my training samples are better, I’ll always produce better outcomes.

Musk is leaps and bounds ahead of the entire market having been collecting data in 2009, and with 3.6 million sold worldwide, no one’s even close to having the quality nor quantity of data they’ve trained their AI on

Granted, all that is stealable as well, but I’ve seen Tesla’s in the car hacking village at Defcon as early as 2017, I’m sure they have an incredible red team advising them on best practices to secure their data… it’s the single most valuable thing that separates Tesla from the rest of the EV pack

shelby3 ⏱🌐🧖, {1/20/23 1:40 PM}
1. I didn't intend to imply that training data isn't crucial. In the case of general knowledge, I wrote recently that open sourcing A.I. algorithms and methodology is relevant to the huge body of freely accessible WWW data. To the extent that specialized training sets have been acquired/developed, this could be posited to be a fool's errand perhaps analogous to Elon's which I will posit as follows.

2. Additionally my intent of "open sourcing" w.r.t. vehicular autopilot is intended to capture the correct points that a) maximum specialization wins in any sufficiently mature, economies-of-scale, horizontal market, b) that suppliers of data will have an incentive to cross-pollinate, and c) that Elon's pie-in-the-sky expectations for A.I. are incorrect, overzealous, short-sighted, impractical thus implying that training data (and specialized training supercomputers such as Dojo) are less important than he thinks.

The notion that A.I. is only as good as the data it's fed is a fundamental misconception of the limitation of A.I., and it's Musk's Tsushima or Cannae (strategic blunder).

"The Battle of Tsushima conclusively demonstrated that battleship speed and big guns with longer ranges were more advantageous in naval battles than mixed batteries of different sizes."

"Hannibal had instructed his infantry to withdraw deliberately, creating an even tighter semicircle around the attacking Roman forces. By doing so, he had turned the strength of the Roman infantry into a weakness. While the front ranks were gradually advancing, the bulk of the Roman troops began to lose their cohesion, as troops from the reserve lines advanced into the growing gaps. Soon they were compacted together so closely that they had little space to wield their weapons. In pressing so far forward in their desire to destroy the retreating and seemingly collapsing line of Hispanic and Gallic troops, the Romans had ignored"

The problem with training data and A.I. in general is that it's stoopid, really stoopid, because as Socrates pointed out it's impossible to prove a negative. There's always an outlier. This is just common sense and probability theory. Musk can't be this stupid can he?

Musk's seems to lack basic common sense. I noticed this also about 167 IQ Risto Pietilä (who had all his BTC stolen from his laptop at a pool party and other snafus at least two of which I cleverly advised him how to wiggle out circa ~2011 in his former silver coinage business). Although Musk is correct that human vision works well for driving, IT'S NOT PERFECT duh. Human culpability is decentralized, but autopilot culpability is CENTRALIZED. Duh. Duh. Duh. How could Elon miss this point? Human safety is non-negotiable and one should never be principled nor cheapskate against it. Always spend more for safety. Musk has ignored this with the Cybertruck design also, which after it kills a few pedestrians will be mired in lawsuits and/or government blowback.

Elon's strategic blunders may even be premeditated and intentional. He hyped an insane stock price by faking the moon and maybe that was the most efficient way to fund his instellar ambitions, but the reality will eventually sink in for the snowflake, sychophant fanboys (sorry you two young guys drank Elon's Koolaid, wisdom and increase skepticism comes with age and experience I guess...)

Tesla presumably has more road network data on certain (mostly Western) markets, yet ostensibly less data on markets where Chinese EVs are outselling such as ostensibly in Thailand. The West is more valuable per capita until the monetary reset inflection point just a few more years from now. By then Chinese EVs will have more or less caught up or exceeded in every facet, as the developing markets continue to grow while the West implodes.

The supplier who develops Autopilot for resale to all EV manufacturers will eventually have a scaling and cost-structure advantage over a supplier that attempts to retain higher margins with vertical integration. This is why Android has 72% global market share versus 28% for iOS. There were refinements that IOS had/has over Android but for example Android had multitasking years before iOS and still iOS's multitasking is less generalized (although it is argued this provides more refinement, it doesn't scale well because requires every app to be painstakingly programmed to support it).

In short, ugly, brute force pragmatic scaling (i.e. the Fabian strategy) trumps fanciful, elegant ideology. Musk invited everyone to nip at his heels and leverage the government to bring him to his knees.

Wealth Taxes the upcoming threat to assets (including land) in the West and anywhere your ownership of assets can be traced to. It's lights out, the Westerners will be fleeced of everything no matter where they go.

The Federal govt will institute a wealth tax also. This will eventually lead to secession of States from the Union, but until long after our assets have been fleeced. The other Western countries will also implement a Wealth Tax and Wealth Taxes will apply even if you expatriate to another country.

The only escape from this is to put assets in someone's name who is not a Western citizen. And don't keep those assets in the West.

Real estate values will plummet.

Comment:

Ukraine was NEVER a country – EVER! They joined the German Nazis because Hitler promised to carve out a country for them. I have assembled the entire monetary history of the world. There were NEVER any coins ever issued by some pretend Ukrainian government. The first coinage that ever said the word Ukraine was issued during the German Nazi occupation.

This war in Ukraine is an invasion of Ukrainian into the regions that were formerly the Russian Empire. They were never under some sovereignty of Ukraine that never existed. The West simply wants to destroy Russia, This has been on the agenda for decades and the fall of communism never changed that policy. They will do the same with China. In truth, this is Ukrainians invading the Russian territory where Russians have lived for centuries. The propaganda has flipped this completely around claiming Putin is invading Ukraine when they began this civil war in 2014 and launched the first attacks on the Donbas.

The treatment of Polish, Jews, and Russians during WWII even horrified the German Nazis. Why would Poland ever support Ukraine can only be that its leaders are told what to say and do by those behind NATO seeking World War III. The Polish people should wake up for they will be the next to be thrown on this altar of geopolitical sacrifice.

{...}

The Ukrainians were unprecedented in their war crimes during WWII and the sheer outright cruelty has NEVER been addressed. They above all should have been hunted down more so than the Germans. The torture Ukrainians inflicted even on Polish and Hungarians along with Russians and Jews included:

* Running children through with stakes
* Cutting a person’s throat and pulling their tongue out through the hole
* Sawing a person’s torso in half with a carpenter’s saw
* Cutting open the belly of a woman in an advanced stage of pregnancy, removing the fetus, and replacing it with a live cat, before sewing up her abdomen.
* Cutting open a pregnant women’s abdomen and pouring in broken glass
* Nailing a small child to a door.

All the various wars and history of this region are included in the databanks of Socrates. That is how it was able to pinpoint Ukraine as the hot spot where all this will unfold as we warned in 2013. There is no account of war crimes that has EVER surpassed those inflicted by Ukrainians.

It is an embarrassment that Europe and the USA would support Ukraine in this land grab. As for those that blame everything on Putin, get your head out of the sand and open your eyes for you are a casualty of this propaganda to promote WWIII. The very people who live in that region predominantly support Russia against Ukraine.

Comment:

While Kissinger said that a diplomatic process could help Russia “re-evaluate its historic position, which was an amalgam of an attraction to the culture of Europe and a fear of domination by Europe.” He did not elaborate on that “fear of domination by Europe” statement, but the fact is that Russia has NEVER sought to invade Europe, but Europe has tried to conquer Russia many times with the two most prominent being Napoleon and Hitler. After the statements that the whole Minsk Agreement was just to fool Putin to buy time for this latest attempt to conquer Russia with NATO planning for the long-haul to invade Moscow after Ukraine is finished depleting Russia’s conventional ability to defend itself.

Kissinger also made the statement that “ach side needs to consider for itself how the threat to human survival of the destructiveness of weapons, coupled with making them almost conscious in their application, can be dealt with.” This is a proxy war and Zelensky has no respect for his own people. This is all about a land grab and the Donbas has been historically occupied by Russians as has Crimea. Simply because Khruschev drew the border for Ukraine purely for administrative purposes does not suddenly give Ukraine the right to claim those regions when Ukraine was NEVER a country before the USSR.

Kissinger had advocated for a ceasefire that would see Ukraine accept some of the annexed territories as Russian land for those people are Russian and they should not be compelled to surrender their language and their religion.

{...}

I support the people in the Donbas against the tyranny of Zelensky and Kyiv for I have not flipped my position which is consistent worldwide for all people. In 2014, I advocated splitting Ukraine according to the ethnic language of the people. Governments have no absolute right to power. Kissinger has forgotten his history. Any government exists only with the support and consent of the people. Zelensky ran and won promising peace and the end of corruption. He has done neither.

Our computer pinpointed Ukraine would be the place where World War III would begin. On December 3rd, 2013 we published: Ukraine Maybe The Most Important Country To Watch! Our computer is unbiased and it looks at the geopolitical consequences of war and where they begin and end.

{...}

This is why I do not support Zelensky or his ruthless proxy war with Russia on behalf of the USA and NATO. The fake Minsk Agreement confirmed that from day one, the West has been planning to wage war with Russia – the third wave to conquer and destroy Russia directed by the Deep State. They are using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder and could care less how many die to achieve their end goal

{...}

What is also MISUNDERSTOOD is Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence which expressed the same idea as Thomas Paine. By stating that “all men are created equal” had nothing to do with slavery as some tried to re-interpret. He stated that these are “unalienable rights” that are NOT granted by any government. Governments are created to secure those rights, not to suppress them as so many have done and Zelensky is doing right now to the people of the Donbas. The Minsk Agreement was to be their Declaration of Independence that the west has bluntly pissed all over it. When a government becomes destructive to those rights, as the West and Zelensky have done to the Donbas, then “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it” in the words of Jefferson.

{...}

Russian President Vladimir Putin has no incentive to believe anything coming from Ukraine, NATO, or the United States after what they saw with the deliberate fake Minsk Agreement to only buy time for war. The Donbas should be allowed to vote and let that vote be monitored. They are Russians ethnically and they have an inherent unalienable human right to establish their own government, to worship their own religion freely, and to speak their own language. Zelensky is a fake actor playing a role dictated by NATO and the USA. He is putting his own people on the geopolitical altar for sacrifice to seize a region that has always been Russian denying them any Democracy option when he claims he is defending Democracy. When the last Ukrainian standing falls, Zelensky will be given a free ride to the Bahamas to live the rest of his life on a warm tropical beach with the billions he has stolen.

Comment:

Armstrong didn't title the following blog entry optimally, failing to even mention that the two political parties are just two heads of the same uniparty monster. Nor did he make the most salient conclusion, which is that Amerikaans are ignorant mofos. Amerikaans don't realize they're led by propaganda to blame each other, instead of blaming themselves for participating in an unsustainable debt bubble and the controlling elite (and Deep State) that is attempting to induce the people to support Klaus Schwab & Bill Gates' Great Reset totalitarianism (including the COVID hoax medical terrorism) as the outcome of the Minsky Moment debt collapse underway instead of a free market reset. All leaders of all nations (including that Winnie the Poo doppelganger Xi Jinping) are complicit in this premeditated WW3 plan to enslave the people.

But the real kicker is that Martin and most everyone doesn't realize that these elite are just pawns being played by the real power even deeper behind the curtain that launched (legacy protocol, not the 2017 NY Agreement softfork impostor which will be destroyed) Bitcoin on a 10 year cycle starting with its conceptual announcement as the 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix cover story, the 1999 anonymous user group posts describing the Bitcoin design, 2009 public launch, the 2018 mass awareness and the upcoming 2028 global monetary reset in a multipolar world where neither the dollar nor the yuan is trusted for international settlement. Thus Bitcoin rises to be the global reserve and international settlement currency in a two-tier monetary system such that the nation-states enslave their subjects in 666 panopticon central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Bitcoin will enslave the nation-states in a NWO as famed mathematician John Nash had explained in his Ideal Money proposal. John Nash was assassinated in a staged vehicular crash on the very EZ Pass which he had mentioned in his white paper proposal! Ostensibly because he would have soon realized the evil of Bitcoin rising to be the Ideal Money. I will detail that evil in future writings.

For Republicans, the top three are China (35 percent), Russia (33 percent), and Democrats (12 percent).

Comment:

I had previously hypothesized about how wealth breeds individuality which leads to the self-immolating societalcide including contributing to dysgenics, but I don't remember accounting for the decrease in child mortality being dysgenic (although I had noted it would contribute to individuality via birth control at least) because before the Industrial Revolution childhood mortality was much lower among those with wealth which correlates with IQ. Thus the low IQ were disproportionately killed off by child mortality before the Industrial Revolution.

This burgeoning underbelly of "useless eaters" will be culled, it's only natural. They've been propped up with debt and an unhealthy industrial regime (e.g. my recent post about the demise of raw milk due to industrialization and non-local distribution). This is why I have said that Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, technocracy and the Great Reset is a perfectly natural response and outcome.

(skip forward to 1:25 at least, Why Wokeness Will Die Out and Falling IQ Means Civilization Will Still Collapse)

That Jolly Heretic points out that the rise of low IQ populism further accelerates dysgenics by forcing high IQ people to flee, thus the impending collapse of Western civilization.

The path forward isn't to go backwards to what worked before the Information Age (aka the computer revolution), such as ideas of forming new intentional ethnicities or breakaway communities, because memetic control over reproduction quality (e.g. via religion-based ethnicity) is no longer the challenge given IVF and surrogate gametes. Instead all solutions will be technological, because for example technology has vacated the strategic importance of meatspace cohesion (e.g. the Mennonite factories the blogger raves about) — NOWADAYS IT BE ABOUT CRYPTOGRAPHIC CLOAKING FORM OF ASSET PROTECTION NOT PHYSICAL ARMIES PROTECTING FARMS OR FACTORIES. Thus meatspace organization will collapse into ashes or totalitarianism as predicted in the 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix cover story. This paradigm-shift seems to be nearly impossible for humanity to wrap their minds around (i.e. accept & digest) as they continue to traipse aimlessly around industrial age meatspace organization. Thus denying that they're in the Information Age and its radical changes to what is and can be. The following makes interesting arguments against religion as a foundation (for an intentional ethnicity).

> Another option is just community - form a community of good people. But this isn't sustainable.

> After the South lost the American civil war, a number of Southerners (Confederates) set up communities in Latin America, particularly Brazil. What happened to them? According to Wikipedia:

> "The first generation of Confederados remained an insular community. As is typical, by the third generation, most of the families had intermarried with native Brazilians or immigrants of other origins. Descendants of the Confederados increasingly spoke the Portuguese language and identified themselves as Brazilians. As the area around Santa Bárbara d'Oeste and Americana turned to the production of sugar cane and society became more mobile, the Confederados moved to cities for urban jobs. Today, only a few descendant families still live on land owned by their ancestors. The descendants of the Confederados are mostly scattered throughout Brazil."

Note the above linked blogger likes that Mennonite area of Mexico I had shared YT videos about in 2021:

Said blogger (a descendant of Jews) has an interesting insight into why the Jewish ethnicity failed:

P.S. declining importance of meatspace cohesion vacates that as a posited strategic advantage of Asia, albeit we still have to deal correctly with meatspace threats (e.g. ashes in LatAm or authoritarianism in Asia), e.g. diligence in face of the personal security risk in LatAm.

Comment:

Martin Armstrong will go to his grave denying the ramifications — of lurch from the Industrial Age to the Information Age — incongruous with his intransigent, dinosaur Boomer-age demographic fixation with the value/integrity/worth of meatspace assets, paradigms and institutions. All that meatspace shit is dying, as its raison d'etre was justified only in Agricultural and Industrial Ages for the protection and competition of the main productivity of the economy which at that time was tangible. Technology has too much empowered the government for surveillance of the tangible economy, forcing the productive online economy. Of course given the technological end of physical cash, the government will steal everything and destroy everything in meatspace, forcing cryptographic cloaking in private cryptocurrency.

MEATSPACE WILL NEVER RETURN. IT'S JUST TIME. WHEN WILL ARMSTRONG REALIZE IT?

Armstrong is gloating that governments will fight private cryptocurrency because he incorrectly believes that panopticon government can be reverted by civil disobedience and politics. Has he forgotten his Stanley Milgram's experiments blog posts that the people will always capitulate to the higher power? His hope the military/police won't capitulate to the higher powers defies the reality that meatspace is bankrupt (c.f. my prior dysgenics post) thus police/military are part of the societalcide collapse.

Armstrong is even incorrect about the details of Binance (only!) being shut off by one bank only (not the entire SWIFT system and all crypto exchanges). This move contributes to the multipolar fractures of the monetary system that will usher in legacy Bitcoin as the international settlement and global reserve currency. Notable is $100,000+ transfers are exempted. I told you that legacy protocol Bitcoin will become the world's reserve currency and $billionaires who use it will be exempted. Nobody else will be able to use legacy Bitcoin anyway, because only supports 7 transactions per second thus transaction fees will eventually reach ~$1000+ per transaction. The plebs will be pushed onto 666 panoption, government central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in a return to a two-tiered monetary system.

Silverbank suffered during the FTX debacle which is yet another example of the meatspace societalcide (as that was all wrapped up in the Ukraine corruption as well):

Armstrong doesn't understand the paradigm-shift underway. Which is why his "Solution" () to the Minksy Moment involved an equity-for-debt swap but the equity would be based on the continued worth of meatspace assets and meatspace economy. Thus of course it was rejected in favor of Schwab's technocracy Great Reset, because the meatspace economy has no future worth! C.f. my recent dysgenics post.

Armstrong doesn't seem to realize that Schwab, Bill Gates, Soros et al are smart enough to realize THAT MEATSPACE CAN ONLY EXIST IN TOTALITARIANISM FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

Rockefeller Foundation published the plan for COVID back in 2010 describing the future outcome the intractable meatspace economic viability:

There's no going back. There is no fix like direct democracy nor monarchy which can restore meatspace. Fuhgeddaboudit.

"But the difference is he sees this as an opportunity to force the resolution into his world of authoritarianism. I believe the solution is to try Democracy just once and end career politicians. He is trying to train and install politicians everywhere to force his ideas upon the world."

Armstrong can't wrap his mind around the concept that everything that was, is dying never to come back again. Yes governments will fight against cryptography but math will win and they will lose, because if not humanity will go extinct because meatspace can no longer offer any freedom due to the shift in the technology and ubiquity of the Internet panopticon.

Thus Armstrong incorrectly believes that meatspace is what will back the flight from government to private assets. This is a grave error on his part and will end up bankrupting all of his subscribers and himself as well.

"Gold is nice and shiny and many coins are beautiful, but it will not do what its promoters claim it will do if enough people see better choices to protect and expand their wealth. Perhaps that’s why people’s largest asset generally is their own home. Its utility is obvious. And its unique characteristic, location, sets it apart from gold. Others see this."

Above linked private blog paraphrased as the stocks of companies that hold meatspace assets will prosper (e.g. recent strength of the DJIA) and high-tech, non-backed fantasy stocks will suffer under the high interest rate regime. Well that's correct for as long as the people are fooled as Armstrong is as to the egregious paradigm-shift underway. Especially high-end and prime off-grid real estate could continue to appreciate as the foolish (soon-to-be-impoverished) wealthy buy meatspace instead of crypto. Impoverished because the acceleration of meatspace devouring itself in Agenda 2030 totalitarianism as it squeezes corrupt profit from its bankruptcy. But by 2028ish legacy Bitcoin as the 1989 Economist Magazine Phoenix rises from the ashes of meatspace thus INUTILE precious metals and the dollar goes "poof it's gone" into 666 CBDC totalitarian, meatspace hell, when the public CONFIDENCE shifts and realizes meatspace is doomed. Scorched earth that Bitcoin as hard money will force massive deflation on the world:

Buried in the stimulus legislation is a tax break that removes the limits on amount of capital gains from real estate that will be tax-free from years 2018, 2019 and 2020.

This enables a massive fire-sale on real estate before the private sector interest rates skyrocket crushing real estate values into the abyss and putting Americans under water on their mortgages. The likelihood of a Great Depression is increasing."

Legacy Bitcoin Rises Surreptitiously as the Reserve in a new Two-tier Monetary System; whilst impostor Bitcoin Core Dies

Comment:

Suicides will skyrocket. Many will commit suicide by resisting rather than fleeing. Billions will commit suicide by complying (e.g. the toxic vaccines). This is the outcome of a Sixth 309.6 year Wave dysgenics inflection point.

The following is correct but Armstrong doesn't seem to understand that this is why private cryptocurrency ultimately wins (even if it's only legacy protocol Bitcoin) and meatspace totalitarianism will be a multi-decade clusterfuck of collateral damage and possibly even gigadeath (damned facts of the unfortunate reality being that meatspace can never be even livable again until the dysgenics is culled):

"The value of any currency is NOT some commodity. It is the people. You can have all the gold in the world, but if the people do not produce, it means nothing ... The true backing of a currency is the total productive capacity of its people. The US became the largest economy in the world NOT because of gold, but because the US had a consumer-based economy built on freedom rather than Marxism."

MEATSPACE IS DYING IN THE OPPORTUNITY COST SENSE.

Investments (of time, money, effort) in meatspace are more fraught and will lead to much lower return-on-investment (ROI) than such investments in virtual aka online (metaverse) space. I employ metaverse here in its most generalized connotation, not specific to virtual reality (V.R.) but in general, including every online activity such as watching and interact with YT videos.

Yes there will be the Dotcom 2.0 busts in cryptocurrency and even mature F.A.N.G. Dotcoms will suffer under the high interest rate regime, but after 2028ish it all shifts again as it eventually did after Dotcom 1.0.

This dictum is even more apropos in spades for someone who has high leverage in virtual space, e.g. an Information Age worker such as a programmer or talented Internet marketer.

Meaning it makes no sense for someone of my abilities to waste time miring myself in backwater clusterfuck problems whilst my potential gains and productivity in the Information Age are pissed away. It's nearly analogous to the adage of not pissing into a headwind.

One would need to have very low alternative prospects (i.e. opportunity cost) to mire themselves in meatspace quicksand and tar pits, e.g. the low IQ dysgenic gene shredders.

To place large wagers in meatspace (e.g. our discussion about bribing the DENR for a land title in Zambales, Philippines and investing 50% of my net worth in that morass) is to be mired in irrelevance as the shift out of the Industrial Age into the Information Age accelerates with this Great Reset. If my net worth was higher and I wanted to throw say 5% of it on some Philippines' meatspace fantasy, that would be a more reasonable prioritization at that juncture.

I didn't write that the Dr. Evil doppelganger's Great Reset will succeed, as it will drag all of meatspace down with it. Scorched earth is a form of success though as the outcome will be the NWO that Armstrong thinks is impossible.

Comment:

MEAT-SPACE IS DYING. Information Age has disintermediated it. Divest of meat-space. Those who wanted to go back in time, do not understand that technology changed everything. MEAT-SPACE can't function anymore, because the diktats have too much surveillance. We can only prosper now in the virtual realm. Sorry that is the reality. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. NOT AFTER DECADES NOR CENTURIES. THAT LIFE WE HAD IS GONE FOREVER.

Meat-space will devour itself. Everywhere eventually. Even Philippines. Even Indonesia.

This is exactly what I predicted in 2012.

shelby3 ⏱🌐🧖, {1/23/23 2:16 PM}
It's good you made this comment as it prompts me to add some nuance and further clarification of my expectations.

I'm not intending to imply that we won't still have any form of meatspace life. My point is that at the organizational level of society, meatspace is dysgenic and dysfunctional. And I don't envision any fix to that other than to cloak/protect all of one's vulnerable worth (including health) such that the dysfunction isn't personally ruinous.

The ruin may take different forms in different cultures, economies and jurisdictions. In the developing world it could take the form of personal security threats or intensive congestion, among other effects such as perhaps intensified corruption. extortion, etc.. C.f. for example my reactions to "HarHar" about the prospects of bribing DENR for a land title in Zambales. In other locales (e.g. Thailand? China?) perhaps improving security and efficiencies, combined with near 100% compliance with vaccines, social credit scores and CBDCs for example.

I can't possibly predict all the myriad of different manifestations of dysfunction in different settings. Refer to Rockefeller's 2010 Scenarios for the Future, §Smart Scramble section:

My reaction is to want to get as far away from populations as possible while still meeting my other meatspace needs. Because I can't predict the outcomes of the dysfunction so to divest as much as possible to minimize entanglement.

I can't rule out for example that some States of the U.S. attempt to assert that they're not yet dysgenic and actuarily bankrupt (debt-based bubble economies). It is going to be interesting to observe the machinations and outcomes. Again I reiterate that the State of Florida can't possibly issue its own currency and expect it to be viable in this modern cross border trade economy.

> "152 IQ Eric Raymond was 6 years later than me in recognizing that the tangible world (the remnant ashes of the Industrial Age) would revert to feudalism."

Armstrong's qualitative mistake (or mischaracterization of Asia's looming rise) is he doesn't fully appreciate that Asia never exited feudalism (and now Social Credit Score 666 panopticon China supplying 5G panopticon to all of Asia via Huwaei), thus will fit nicely with the neo-feudalism incoming for the West. I mean Asia will grow their wealth, but in a panopticon, authoritarian way because Asians follow authority and keep their head below tips of the tall grass. Westerners who want to submit to all that incoming Agenda 2030, CDBC, vaccines crap should move to Asia. Again bribing is how freedom is purchased in Asia. Asia is very capitalistic — even liberty has a price. It's an interesting tradeoff compared to Latin America for example which will have horrid levels of crime. Meaning I am keeping my open mind on living in Asia, if my wealth grows.

The Last Days of Japan

We have been forecasting for several years now that those who have been focused on the demise of the dollar to the exclusion of everything else would be wrong because of what must fall first is both Europe and Japan. It is an all-out race to see who will be the first to collapse.

This special report on Japan is very critical for it provides a view of Asia v Europe. This is the prelude to the fall of socialism in the West. Communism collapsed in 1989. Now 34 years later, it is just our turn. It does not mean the end of the world. It simply means the end of the present monetary system as we have known it.

@moonlightmining, it's not that simple. You don't actually hold land nor anything tangible.

Even if the entire Internet was offline and the electrical grid shutdown, Bitcoin would continue chugging along with solar power and short-wave radio broadcasts.

I mean, every regime is illegitimate in the eyes of the last. Nothing in the Articles of Confederation authorized the Constitution, and we have already seen the hack by which FDR took power in 1933. Obviously his opponents thought it was illegitimate. And likewise, every regime imposes its views, and every regime has a monopoly of force.

{...}

The easiest way for a regime to keep itself popular is to get undeniably awesome results. The Chinese regime has a popularity above 80%. It earned this by turning China from a run-down backwater into the industrial heart of the global economy. The Salvadoran regime has a popularity above 80%. It earned this by bringing the murder rate down by more than an order of magnitude.

Go back to FDR. While FDR never put up these kinds of dictator-for-life numbers, he did do awesome stuff—like conquering the world. But also, he used the power of the state to create an awesome number of individual and institutional clients of the new fat Washington tit. That FDR’s rule made America a better place, in the short or long run, may be argued or rebutted. He certainly knew how to use power to make power.

The lower class wants an upper class it can genuinely look up to. The feeling that Harvard has gone insane is like realizing that Mom and Dad are both on heroin. Attacking Harvard is not the way to calm this anxiety; taking over Harvard, or replacing Harvard, are the only paths to true leadership.

In the 21st century, leftism, having conquered, has very little potential power—it has very little left to conquer. Any incremental power will be divided among a very large number of mouths—there are a very large number of professional leftists. Rightism, however, has a small number of early amateur enthusiasts—dividing up a gigantic potential pie of absolute power.

Problem is the elite will pass and enforce the laws and dare the pubilc to use violence to stop them. Their setback in Scotland is only a small matter and temporary. There is no resistance in the West. Face it. Nobody is going to go to war against the government. (Exception just maybe in the U.S., France and perhaps Italy although Italians seem to opt for a political solution after violent protests)

There hasn't been any violent protests in the U.K.. Ditto the U.S. for the most part. Americans seem to think they can achieve a political solution.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Westerners realize the political solution is not possible.

Comment:

It's becoming clear to me that the insolvent (i.e. FDIC admits they only have $200B to insure $trillions) banking system will be deprecated on a Friday night (as FDIC officials recently admitted in leaked video). The government can then use any of a number pretexts (e.g. Chinese grid attack, alien UFOs shot down, Russian cyberattack) to declare a bank holiday under Emergency Powers Acts, then limit withdrawals and daily expenditures to forestall bank runs.

This will force rapid and massive adoption of cryptocurrency stablecoins for transactions. This is the overnight means of onboarding the public to digital currency fully tracked on centralized, permissioned blockchains. Then the various national govts will be compelled to rapid rollout their CBDCs (and regulate stablecoins) lest they forsake national currency sovereignty.

Expect this perhaps sometime in 2024, or latest 2025.

Comment:

EDIT: Crashing the economy and offering the CBDC for stimulus checks isn't a sufficiently powerful way of forcing adoption. Thus that can't be the strategy. Instead clearly our W.E.F. overlords are prepping for false-flags and bank holidays. At that instant cash will be hoarded, not circulate. People will realize their cash is a scarce resource, thus its value will skyrocket. Thus there will be a run on cash at the banks, forcing the banks with the assistance of diktats to limit cash withdrawals, i.e. capital controls under the pretext of an emergency. The govt would of course need to allow some digital money in the banking system to flow else sustenance and essential services will halt. Yet they can also direct banks to limit daily access to digital money transfers, under the pretext that the banks and FDIC insurance are insolvent — with the economy imploding (e.g value of real estate plummeting) bank balance sheets go F.U.B.A.R. Yet with supply chains constrained by limited flow of money, price inflation would skyrocket. The govts can reopen the spigot with uptake of the CBDCs. Yet of course the economy will not standstill and will route around this coup d'etat with cryptocurrency stablecoins, at least for the non-corporatized sectors. Amazon.com, WalMart and Tesco might not accept stablecoins. Those hodling crypto and gold could inject some liquidity into the economy, but it will be limited.

Westerners aren't going to dither about loss of cash. They'll adopt the means for liquidity and get on. They'll be demanding a solution from the govt, thus the CBDCs will be offered up. Some might spend their CBDCs to stablecoins to diversify before regulation clamps down. Outside the West, perhaps the banks are not insolvent thus there will be no crisis for those banks not too intertwined. Yet all nations would want to prevent an exodus from their sovereign banking systems to burgeoning stablecoins given the insane appreciation of the dollar in such a global shutdown scenario and WW3 — only the USD stablecoins would offer the dollar liquidity in a scenario where dollar banking system is in essentially shutdown mode. Thus also strong incentive to create their own CBDCs and to integrate with the digital Fed dollar CBDC. But the extent to which each country can eliminate cash will be dependent on the ubiquity (or lack thereof) of its mobile data network coverage over 95% of the population, else there will massive civil unrest.

Another possible instigator for the bank holidays could be a pretext to cancel the 2024 POTUS election or to quell the aftermath of an even more egregiously obvious rigged election.

P.S. Armstrong continues to peddle his delusional nonsense that physical money (sliver dimes, paper scrips) will widely circulate in the West again:. Does he not realize there were no personal computers in 1929 much less handheld, portable, 24x7 connected panopticon smartphones? 🤦

Mom sorry haven't had time to write you a personalized msg. Been sharing my group & public posts so you know the rationale forming the invariants in my decision tree.

Essentially as you know well by now, which I know you don't believe, is I think by end of 2025 the West will suffer Marxist collapse and nuclear WW3 (created intentionally by Brandon, NOT Putin).

I'm fleeing. I'll take some mitigable personal security risk in exchange for being far from nuclear fallout or more likely mass psychosis insanity emergency power usurpation with false-flag threats of nuclear attack. In short unfortunately I believe the West is on the verge of total insanity. I know you don't share my perspective. I pray you survive but the prognosis is not good bcz you're fully locked into the psychosis of your generation and favored faux "intellectualism". Unfortunately you won't realize I'm correct until too late or probably never realized just pass on. 😭

Shouldn't we try to meet up on my next visit to Los Angeles? Fate may have it that we're rapidly approaching our final opportunities to hug each other. It's all very sad to me. Nothing I can do. Your father said we can lead a horse to water...

> "Dinner looks great.
I'm not in a contest to be right. Humans are human. We each bring a perspective from our experiences and influences."

It's not an ego thing for me except if people are talking about me behind my back. In that case, I will be vindicated but it's no solace to me the horror that's coming. I just want peace ✌️. But the outcomes of the virtue signaling perspectives of your tribe's faux intellectualism will be unfortunately horrific. You think I will relish watching you suffer for it? Hell no. But how else can you all learn to stop except by self-immolating?? It's sad. That Westerners have ended up like this.

The irony is you think you want good. Virtue signaling is a mental disorder inherited from Protestantism and Puritan burning at the stake. Westerners just put lipstick on that pig.

I want to say this in a non-wicked tone, but the subject matter makes it virtually impossible to speak truth without describing the wickedness in stark matter-of-fact terms. What's so wicked is that this anodyne, antiseptic puritanism-wolves-in-sheepskin "Jim Jones cult" of the American left (and frankly the MAGAtard idiots of the right also) doesn't realize they empowering abject horror such as disemboweling children while alive and feeding their bones to wolves. I mean it's a 1975 Stepford Wives Twilight Zone vibe that these zombies are smiling as if nothing, while their political movement enables disemboweling the entire world and preaching to us about their fraudulent, anthropogenic climate change. What can the surviving society do but stand to the side and observe the horror of what these lost souls will do to each other and themselves in the end game?

Well that's quite remarkable. I don't know of any community of non-wackos living like that in the U.S.A.. I did not actually peruse the website much (my connection too slow) so I will take your word for the class of individuals residing in the Tipi Valley community.

In the U.S., I am only aware of drug-infested homeless encampments, anarchist/vagabond Slab City. Other than that I know that in very impoverished areas of the nation, people live in dilapidated structures with very high crime rates. And I am aware that in a few counties only, you can get a owner-build permit exemption, needing only a septic tank permit. Or Ft. Davis, TX no building permits need, except need a septic tank permit or can use portatoilet and non-permanent dwelling. So non-permanent dwellings are tolerated in some places, but this is accompanied by poverty and crime. As soon as any American community attains affluence, they ban temporary structure living. Snobby Americans enslave themselves in these Agenda 2030 building codes pitched as promoting safety and keeping the riff-raff out.

So if the U.K. local councils have in Wales been forced to remain sane, that's quite a difference from the U.S.. Brits (pro)(re)gressing forward/back to living in structures they had before the Romans arrived! Amazing.

The national govt may too be preoccupied on more pressing enslavement efforts than to focus specifically on a couple hundred "weirdos" living an unpopular lifestyle. Not mainstream, thus not a threat. Also perhaps they figure they'll snare these panopticon-defectors later with some national legislation on minimum housing safety standards and/or carbon consumption (e.g. burning logs, raising methane belching/defecating livestock...can't have animals pooping all over the place as that will warm the earth 🙄).

This is admirable and I encourage you to consider it in your ideally multi-stratified plans.

The risk of course is that it's a small community in sea of millions who will adopt the panopticon. How can there be an economies-of-scale for black markets? Seems you will all be bartering rabbit furs among yourselves, not much else? Meaning I don't see any prosperity path forward. It's sort of resigning to a life of mud and rabbit meat—like England before the Romans! I picture uneducated Irish kids with mud all over their faces. As you say you will need to keep your library of books out of the mud, and hopefully not be reduced to shortwave radio for listening to the outside world.

What I am saying is I am impressed. But I think the future is one of where the economic activity will move as the West turns out the lights on itself.

Comment:

I suppose the closest to this right now in the U.S. are the Amish the North East, or the Mennonites in Chihuahua, Mexico. Yet these groups have been doing this for decades. Their communities are large, highly entrenched and quite diversified to the degree they integrated in modernity. Yet even they will end up adopting the 666 panopticon central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to the extent they want to sell their wares to the outside world as they do, purchase industrialized products (e.g. Mennonites with tractors). Even the Amish (following Jesus' "render unto Caesar what's his, and unto God his") have agreed to pay sales tax, unconstitutional property taxes, IRS taxes on transactions they conduct in fiat, excepting the self-employment tax in a special arrangement they have with the IRS and their children are dog-tagged and corporate vassals under the British crown as are 99.9% of American idiots:

Perhaps these groups will accept barter and maybe even Bitcoin at some point, so these groups might provide a source of food outside the panopticon system. But since they have misidentified themselves as "U.S. citizens" instead of American State Nationals, they will be increasingly subject to the Agenda 2030.

{Amish} Raw milk farmer convicted of violating federal law

So my opinionated issue with the Tupi Valley strategy is that it appears to me to be both long-term myopic and potentially inadequate to deal with the acceleration, collateral damage threat in the short-term.

My model is a smash-up as the blinded Westerners are confronted with a head-on train wreck with their indolent refusal to deal with the "Clinton Body Count" mafia spiral trajectory they're on with a Minsky Moment collapse to be scapegoated into abject horror of WW3, totalitarianism and pestilence/deprivation. They are sleepwalking into it one of Armstrong's Waterfall, phase-transition (e.g. water-to-steam) collapses. These historically go from warm to flash pasteurization in the blink-of-an-eye. There's no time to react, if not already prepped, e.g. overnight bank holidays, Emergency Powers Act martial law, etc..

So I'm looking for a bug-out that's truly outside, not sitting right in the midst of the Beast's mouth. To ride the coming possible acceleration. Could I be wrong about the degree of the threat? Yes but in my case I see no benefit to not being outside. I don't have such a strong affinity to a locale inside the Beast's mouth as your wife and you apparently do. I do not even like the climate of the UK. The women are fat and don't want to fuck me. Gorgeous, sexy Peruvian women are drooling at me—why would I ice myself in that barren existence 🧊. Men have two evolutionary raison d'etre—scattering their sperm (Genghis Khan style, e.g. 1 in 3 of us descendant) and 180 I.Q. Freeman Dyson's more accelerated cultural evolution contribution. I do not want to dabble with guitars and books whirling away the rest of my life in obscurity. I want to accomplish something more socially important with the remainder of my life. I am a driven, type A personality. But if that sort of underachiever existence continues to serve you and your wife well, then it's not for me to judge. Each to their own.

Tangentially, @OROBTC ostensibly also is more interested in reading books, than his evolutionary legacy, and we failed to understand each other because of my type A motivation to upend society versus his high IQ (~150) introvert preference to lurk in the cracks. One mistake he made was misperceiving my hard charging, feisty style as confrontational—I enjoy and benefit from debating ideas. Blame my mother, lol. Bless her heart for gifting me attributes which I like about myself. There's risks to my track as well.

Comment:

So it's not only about surviving the potential flash-of-an-eye collateral damage coming in the West as the Great smash-up of Western denial of reality has to resolve itself first before we can rebuild from the ashes, but also about what can I do that is highly productive during this transition. What about the people who want to sidestep this madness? Why can't I invest and be productive where the success of the world will be heading, instead of miring myself in a career-blackhole, backwater as I so foolishly did for decades in the Philippines. I am trying to accomplish in my 50s what I should have been doing in my 30s and 40s. Who doesn't settle down until they're 60. I have a highly aberrant life map.

Will Tupi Valley or the Amish become the next Silicon Valley as the Thucydides trap completes, the nation-state is deprecated by Bitcoin and the West culls half of its population as it tries to reeducate itself about reality?

For me your wife's preferences are highly feminine, parochial. Not at all masculine Genghis Khan oriented. I want to have a legacy if possible! I'm still building, not retiring. Caesar was 51 years old when he Crossed the Rubicon. Elon Musk is the more the age of Caesar and accomplishing more than me. Elon and I have the same birthday but he's 6 years younger than me.

Thus I have to be somehow be clever. I need to find some key lieutenants who are younger than me. Or piggyback myself on younger Generals such as Elon and Curtis Yarvin—which might be more realistic because generally lower IQ people can't lead higher IQ people (those guys at least one standard deviation higher IQ than me).

I'm trying to figure out my most productive role. Trying to figure out where I fit in the transformation coming. Whereas, you're packing your bags for end of life. Depressing. I was hoping you;re a lieutenant about roughly at my same IQ. I have still appreciated interacting with you. I hope our interactions are mutually beneficial ongoing.

Your model of helping society is something like spiritual education. My model of helping society is Genghis Khan masculine—triumph of superior ideas, technologies, strategies. Teach by driving the economy in direction that helps idiots cull themselves. I care but I influenced correctly by Machiavellian insights of Yarvin. Yarvin's mistake is that decentralization will disintermediate his plans for monarchy redux...

All that said, I might be incapable of what mind thinks it could accomplish. I might be living in young mind inside an old body incapable of the energy level needed. Also I may lack sufficiently selective focus and organizational momentum. Perhaps I need to be more realistic and forthright about what others are capable and suited for. For example, it is clear you need to stay in the UK and we need to stop all discussions involving you in anything else. Your situation is such that it would just be a huge potential disaster if anyone tried to partner with you on anything outside the UK as it's very likely your (and your wife's) complaints will far outweigh any panopticon risks in terms of your appraisal of what's important. I think you're most suited to packing it where you stand.

Saying that not to be harsh or judgmental but rather that I need to be more selectively focused, else I will fail to do anything at all.

Note I did contemplate for example building a bug-out community within for example Chochise County or Ft. Davis in the U.S.A.. But is the productive future in the Beast's mouth? Heck Kary Lake couldn't even get elected. My instinct is a clean-slate approach. Also I don't like the climate of those locations. Are the young digital nomads going to stay in the U.S. to be drafted into WW3?

What's the average age of the Tupi Valley community?

Are Amish people eligible to be drafted by the US military if the draft was ever reinstated?

Comment:

Draft is coming very soon along with WW3. Age of enlistment has been raised to 42. Will be raised again. In Ukraine and China, the age cutoff is 60. The social pressure will be immerse after the nukes start flying. N. Korea has 1.2 million troops. China 1 million. Russia 0.5 million? NATO and the U.S. military will need plenty of protoplasm fodder to throw into the meat grinder. Enjoy.

> "I realized very quickly that every OTHER company at 232nd Medical Battalion was as high as 70% female (so much so that some cadences that are specifically designed for women to provide the counterpoint actually outshouted their male counterparts)."

> "So TRUE! I had similar experiences in the Navy surface fleet when women were first added to a ships’ crew. When it came time to deploy the ship overseas, most of them went out and got pregnant, and were transferred to shore duty. THAT, in return, meant they were taking shore-duty billets (jobs) that men at sea had been WAITING to rotate to, which meant extended sea tours for the men. PLUS, the ships had to deploy with a short crew, because there weren’t enough men to fill every ship. This was in the late ‘70s."

> "I think the thing that sealed it for me that made me never want to work in a unit full of women again was something that happened in my first unit after my deployment. As so often happens personnel get rotated out. My platoon went from 20% female to 80%. Within a month all but one were pregnant, injured or proved they couldn’t lift a paperweight and one female medic, myself and one other male ended up doing an entire platoon’s worth of details (with myself and the other male doing all the physical work)."

> "Both the commander and acting commander were women and the reviews they wrote made me look like the worst soldier they had ever laid eyes on. My interactions with many of the nurses that were commissioned were negative, especially when my manner was rigid and proper when addressing officers, or of expecting clear and concise orders, and tendency to act immediately or advise them that they were making my assigned duties more difficult than they needed to be."

It will be a great clusterfuck. I am excited to see it go down soon. Draft is coming very soon along with WW3. Age of enlistment has been raised to 42. Will be raised again. In Ukraine and China, the age cutoff is 60. The social pressure will be immerse after the nukes start flying. N. Korea has 1.2 million troops. China 1 million. Russia 0.5 million?

Comment:

The reason for the comment about perhaps not having Internet access in Tupi Valley is if there's some draconian requirements coupled with panopticon CBDCs. Who will be the surrogates to pay the Internet bill? Maybe that can be sorted out. Figure in such a large community that someone will be willing to comply with requirements (e.g. vaccines) and then pay the Internet bill and everyone in the community use a shared Internet connection? And then when someone is traced by the Mi6 using the connection who was not the one who paid for it?

I will hopefully have my Filipina here who is willing to take vaccines, or better yet one of her relatives come over, or a hired Peruvian/Mexican/Chilean (perhaps as a corporation) to be our surrogate. As for others using the connection, if we are running the community as a business, leasing AirBnBs, then there's a justification.

But again I really don't think that's the main threat. TPTB want us all to have Internet access (their control grid), as that's how they implement their panopticon.

The crux of my reticence to an idea of moving backwards to a hermit Amish life is that it's highly non-productive, not forwarding looking for humanity, punts on trying to figure out what can be the solution going forward for the world. I prefer to be in a dynamic situation, trying to create something new in a decentralized, digital nomad Knowledge Age economy, that could be a golden age that replaces this "Clinton Body Count"mafia democraZy we have now. I don't want to just go hide under a rock. Not my style, I also play offensive not only defense. I scored 5 touchdowns even after I broke my nose one afternoon at age 27 on the Cal Lutheran College freshman football recruits.

@panunen, do you think Tupi Valley will develop as some sort of digital nomad hub community? And for all those under age 45 who will be facing a compulsory WW3 draft, will they stay right in the mouth of the NATO Beast where they will be arrested, or will they renounce their citizenships and escape to one of the Non-Aligned Movement countries? Now we maybe know the reason that Deagel.com's prediction of loss of half of NATO's population. Maybe it will be emigration, which is what I had long suspected would be the case.

> "I think you know we are not choosing to do so because it's "inside the Beast's mouth"

I meant such a strong affinity for the climate, family roots, friends, culture, etc that would cause me to subject myself to possibly being trapped inside the Beast's mouth. I want at least one foot on the other side of the fence.

Certainly I would attempt to replicate what I like from the West where I will be, while in my case hopefully finding a climate I like better than all in the US.A. (albeit the climates of San Diego and HI are awesome). Which was one reason for disfavoring Asia.

Imagine if all the capable young men flee the West because of the draft. It could be mayhem in the West.

Comment:

The Tipi (Valley, Wales) movement has no economic clout.

Economics drives outcomes.

The bankruptcy of the West, the Western debt-based model of economy, the U.S. hegemon that forces the rest of the world to slave to the dollar debt out-of-thin air, etc. The rest of the world ate dollars, while the Westerners wined and dined ignoring their their hegemon was committing atrocities all over the world.

The economic realities will drive the outcome. We will see who is worth anything coming out of this looming mark-to-market horror film.

Me thinks Tipi hut mud dwellers are about as economically relevant as horseshit. And thus will be treated like horseshit and have horseshit outcomes. I have no romanticized love of horseshit.

I am well convinced by now (with your assistance, e.g. pointing out to me that such ideological communities always fail) that any viable expat community is nothing more than an AirBnb business, providing services and accommodation to digital nomads. That's what I still want to follow up on. The point is that it might also support the economies-of-scale I need for my own survival of the Great Reset.

I don't think there can be any grouping based on solely ideology or mutual bugout goals. That's also why I think the various community movements in the U.K. don't have much relevance.

Economics will drive the outcomes.

My criticism of your wife's perspective is that it's economic suicide if the U.K. turns out the lights on itself.

I think the U.K. is going to be the absolute worst outcome of all the countries in the Great Reset. Canada and Australia aren't far behind. The U.S. is at least bifurcating (if not to splinter back into States' rights)—activity on Twitter is encouraging actually for the U.S.. Only makes sense as it is seat of the British crown empire that the Neocons inherited and are burning to the ground now.

I am visualizing a barren, cold, wet, desolate, reversion to the Dark Ages for the U.K.. Rather than splintering into States of some econoimes-of-scale, it will splinter back into tribes and Tipi hut mud villages. I visualize potato famines and Irish kids wallowing in the mud. Empires/civilizations typically complete the circle, as do the elderly return to the fetal position. I could be wrong of course or about the timing. Deagel.com doesn't think so.

Bingo! And so now you should know why a strategy of remaining within where all the youth will flee from, could be a fetal position directed.

I would prefer to build the infrastructure where they will be fleeing to.

(Warning: This Bitcoin Chart is Pointing to TWO New Targets (good and bad news))

@Alessio Rastani you have several mistakes. I am very familiar with Steve Courtney's 5.3 factor model. First that would be the high in 2025, not 2023. Just look at the high in 2019, which corresponds to 2023. Secondly the low will be in 2024 with a lower low. In 2020, the flash crash was not a lower, but it will be lower in 2024. The 2017 NY agreement impostor Bitcoin will NEVER make another higher all-time high. Mark my word.

Comment:

I don't have time to clean up this chart right now. I just want to focus on the cyan trend line that marked the top in 2019. It's indicating ~$30 - 36k for the top of this summer 2023 bull trap. Note the harmonic projection to below $0 in 2024 (it ends down off the bottom of the chart).

Comment:

This chart screams that Bitcoin is going to explode to the upside as soon as the Fed pause is being priced in. Compare to 2019. Stonks have been a bit less sensitive to FEDFUNDS continuing to increase because earnings were sustained and some had pricing power. Also Bitcoin was broadsided by FTX. Appears the market is trying to price in a 50 basis points raise in March, but markets seems to be mostly brushing it off and pricing in the pause that is coming by summer. Yet bond markets (c.f. linked video below) are too bearish bcz expecting Fed to raise slowly and not pause until Sept. I expect Fed will go 50 basis in Mar, 25 in April and then data will cause them to pause! I bet the market will sniff this out soon and rally steeply and suddenly!

Notice that forward earnings didn't quite go negative in 2019. Looks like Bitcoin (no earnings) will outperform stonks when the Fed pause is priced early this summer.

(3:10 c.f. chart)

Comment:

Also note from chart in my prior post, that as the FedFunds pivoted lower (not just paused) in 2019, the crash was delayed unlike prior instances. Ostensibly because the Fed was responding to Libor financial stress abroad.

I expecting a redux of the March flash crash in 2024. This seems to indicate that the stress will once again be outside the U.S., i.e. China's debt bubble so desperate they locked down entire population to prevent runs on the banks. Now they are giving stimi-loans to the morbidly elderly. Will a global cyberattack false-flag be the only alternative to China attacking Taiwan as a scapegoat for martial law? 🤔

Imagine the supply chain destruction and stimulus the Fed would need to inject after/during a cyberattack cratering of the economy? COVID 2.0.

Comment:

Armstrong is writing on his private blog about expecting interest rates to rise into the May 2024 ECM turn date from the April 2023 turn date. I presume because he expects war to intensify in Ukraine aligned with the April 2023 turn date. I think he is wrong. Clearly Biden doesn't have the support to push further with a false-flag attack on Moscow right now. Russia is mopping up now the war in Ukraine. Neocons are also confronted with massive backlash (on Twitter and Tucker Carlson on Fox News) about January 6 capitol riot lie.

Instead I think the Fed will signal a pause by April, create massive summer rally. I think rates will flat-line then moderate down briefly into a global recession by May 2024— the necessary economic crisis impetus for launching the world in earnest into WW3 by June 2025 or June 2026 with a Panic Cycle and Aggregate peak on Armstrong's yearly International War Forecast Array for 2026. After that interest rates should rise precipitously into the next ECM date in June 2026 or 2027.

Also the halving timing and other studies I have exhaustively analyzed for Bitcoin strongly suggests a rally into June, more or less repeating the 2019 to 2020 pattern, thus with a flash crash of some sort in Q1 or Q2 2024. After that Bitcoin should rally significantly into Q1 or Q2 2025, but it might only triple top instead of making new ATHs (based on Crypto Crew University's model and assuming Bitcoin bottoms ~$10k in 2024).

Something will break in the global economy by 2024. Perhaps bank contagion due to interest rates held high for more than a year. I think the massive false-flag cyberattack (which will be the pretext for forcing everyone onto CBDCs) will not come until 2025 or 2026.

Comment:

I believe Armstrong is misinterpreting his Year timing array for the U.S. Discount rate. He seems to be focused on the Direction Change in 2024 after the Direction Change in 2022 when the Fed started raising rates. But that Direction Change could apply to when the Fed starts decreasing rates, not to when it pauses them. A pause will cause a significant rally in the markets. The situation is somewhat similar to 2019 when stress in the Repo markets and such force the Fed to back down and then Bitcoin rallied crazy from April to June, catching up to gold. Then gold outperformed until after the March 2020 flash crash, when Bitcoin began to outperform again. Even Armstrong's own chart indicates Discount Rate should top out ~5.25%— thus the Fed is likely to pause after a 25 basis point hike in Mar and May.
(charts for the above only available on Armstrong's subscriber-only private blog)

Armstrong's public blog post shows 10Y peaking by May, and flash crash Panic Cycle in EU banks in 2024. Yield curve predicted to un-invert by 2024, which historically, typically coincides with recessionary crash. From 2026 to 2029 the yield curve might remain inverted again— apocalyptic nightmare!

@Philip Neves yours is a point to be considered. I'm also a s/w dev since 1970s and by now a block chain expert as well. One might posit their objective is to make it impossible to transact if you don't use theirs. People herd when it comes to currency. Don't expect 95% of the other people to use some decentralized cryptocurrency to pay their bills. People will adopt what the govt tells them to for money. So if you don't program for what the people are using for money, then you will have no income. This said, I think there's hope that people would adopt a cryptocurrency for virtual activities. But note proof-of-stake is actually fiat thus the antithesis of decentralization due to the inherent power-law distribution of any economic asset. I could write an essay, I have and I will.

@Trajhenkhetlive nonsense. Centralized CBDCs will be clusterf*cks for sure, but we will be the collateral damage. The Fed is doing a perfect job of enriching the banksters and enslaving the sheeppl in debt. It is a game theoretic fact that there can only be one decentralized cryptocurrency which will be the reversion to legacy protocol Bitcoin with the looming "anyone can spend" attack that will restore the Nash equilibrium voided by the 2017 impostor softfork. Everyone hodling in non-legacy address will involuntarily donate their wallet to the miners. Altcoin proof-of-work will be destroyed by the inevitable, insoluble difficulty non-readjustment attacks. Proof-of-stake is actually fiat thus the antithesis of decentralization due to the inherent power-law distribution of any economic asset. I could write an essay, I have and I will.

Comment:

> "I am going to follow-up with a key point that Peter Schiff made (youtu.be/ekpPZsV4OTQ) about interest rates which I doubt he realized is indicating that massive adoption of crypto is inevitable."

1:01:48

Peter Schiff explains the Fed is trapped because they won't get inflation down to 2% the next time they need to bail-out the economy, thus investors may refuse to rush to the historical safe haven of Treasury bonds because they will not trust the Fed can actually buy enough bonds to bring them down in yield (thus those at higher yields up in market value) because of the rampant inflation that would create if they do. Eventually there's a point where Fed can't bail-out without causing runaway inflation expectations, so the bond market will call the Fed's bluff.

Yet while the Fed's stimulation window is narrowing, interest rates can't run above the actual inflation rate without breaking something. Thus the prospects for stocks are narrowing as they depend on earnings. While there's still some stimulus and the REAL cost of financing is negative, stocks are viable, but as this flips then the only safe haven will be those assets not tied to earnings nor interest rates. Thus Martin Armstrong is brain dead to assert that real estate will backstop the next monetary reset. No it will be legacy Bitcoin, that's the only possible thing it can be. Couldn't be gold because governments can regulate the dealers extracting exorbitant excise and capital gains taxes hikes incoming (as well as outright confiscation due to capital controls alleging money laundering and WW3 sanctions). Thus precious metals are dying as a monetary asset because they can't be traded on decentralized exchanges.

Comment:

1:24:23 I wish Peter Schiff would debate me about Bitcoin. Could you help me get his attention? I can demolish his logic. Firstly the most ironic aspect is that he's going to appear to be correct in 2024, as after this summer rally, Bitcoin will indeed make a lower low in 2024 as the 2019 to March 2020 dump pattern is repeating. I had identified this megaphone pattern in ~Oct 2021 which enabled me to predict Bitcoin would drop to ~$13-20k in 2022. And I was very much ready for identifying the Wycoff accumulation bottom enabling me to buy $15.4k. I did sell $24k and reloaded $20k. All verifiable on my trading view. I had tried to communicate this to Kevin last summer. Okay in addition Steve Courtney's 5.3 factor model (Crypto Crew U.) indicates Bitcoin will not make a new ATH on the next bull cycle into 2025 if the 2024 bottom is ~$10k. So what is going on? Well it's essentially what Peter is explaining in my comment I am replying to. But there's more...

The marginal utility of money increases the less of a use case it has for anything other than money. I am surprised that Peter Schiff is not sophisticated enough to have read 150 IQ Curtis Yarvin's (aka Mencius Moldbug's) On Monetary Restandardization. The late Antal Fekete (yet another causality of the covidiocy power grab along with 180 IQ Freeman Dyson) had taught me this back when I was a silver bug circle 2008ish. Being physical is precisely what will lead to gold losing it's monetary utility, because the bankrupt governments are going to clamp down on all the market markets (aka dealers). As for Peter's nonsensical suggestion to retry to launch e-gold or the Liberty Dollar, perhaps he conveniently ignores what they government did to both of those. Actually Bitcoin is entirely physically backed but in the most clever way— the physical sunk costs of the mining hardware is untethered from the digital record of the exchange of the value! Additionally Bitcoin has unforgeable costliness of mining which is what imparts value to both gold and Nakamoto proof-of-work cryptocurrency. It's ironic that gold will lose its monetary status, while only legacy protocol Bitcoin survives.

But it's not all rosy. What very few people know and which I have written extensively about, is that the 2017 softfork created an impostor Bitcoin which everyone erroneously thinks is the "official" Bitcoin. This created a 13+ million BTC (and growing) "anyone can spend" booty for taking by the (as involuntary donations to the) miners, as seen by Satoshi's legacy protocol (and I am not referring to BSV nor BCH altcoins here). The game theory and economic analysis requires that the booty be taken eventually to restore the Nash equilibrium. Also because of the looming mining difficulty non-readjustment attacks on all minority hashrate proof-of-work altcoins (as well as the aforementioned logic in Moldbug's On Monetary Restandardization) there will only be one decentralized cryptocurrency still standing by 2028, which will be the restored legacy protocol Bitcoin which only does ~5 transactions per second. Bitcoin was designed only to the global reserve currency in the new multipolar world being intentionally ushered in with the intentional WW3. This was all planned out since at least the January 1988 Phoenix cover story on Rothchilds Economist Magazine. Actually the design for Bitcoin was leaked in an anonymous usergroup post in 1998 and Wei Dai in 1999. So Bitcoin has been on a premeditated 10 year cycle, with 2018 being mass awareness, and 2028 being the monetary reset ushering it in as the NWO dystopian global reserve currency. We plebs will be stuck in two-tier currency morass of 666 panopticon fully centralized Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Thus everyone hodling in non-legacy addressses (i.e. all that don't begin with a 1, thus 3 or bc1) will donate all their BTC to miners. And Bitcoin will plummet to near zero when that occurs before it rises from the ashes (or itself and WW3) as the 1988 Economist Mag cover story stated. All cryptocurrency consensus protocols distill down to two mechanisms of control, proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. The latter is just fiat because of the insoluble power-law distribution of fungible assets, i.e. that 20% control 80% or typically even more concentrated (e.g. 10% control 90%) in more purely monetary assets. All such fiat systems are power vacuums (including democracy) and power vacuums can only be controlled by the most ruthless, a damned fact which most snowflakes refuse to acknowledge. Also the major stake holders can be rubber hosed or otherwise coerced/regulated by the government because they're identifiable persons nor permissionless, replaceable entities as is the case in proof-of-work. So since only one proof-of-work cryptocurrency can survive thus only the 5 transactions per second, dystopian, legacy protocol Bitcoin will remain standing at the end of this nightmare decade underway. Gold may rise to $3-5k but then it will gradually fade into irrelevance forevermore as it becomes clear that physical barter does not scale (warlords, etc) and government can entirely control everyone with the panopticon CBDCs.

Kevin this is why I am warning you about House Hack. Make sure you have an exit plan. Do not hold long, as everything is going pear-shaped with WW3 incoming and all this dystopian transition from the Thucydides trap collapse of the West into the social credit score dystopia of China as the rising power in a multipolar world controlled behind the curtain by Bitcoin. The rise of hard assets is the harbinger of misery, as I blogged 6 years ago. Also gold is not an inflation hedge, but a hedge against the failure of the government. So happens that when inflation goes berserk, confidence in the government can be lost, which is precisely what the Fed is facing eventually. I completely agree with Peter that the FOMO crypto market has topped, although it will rally a bit into June and then rally again off 2024 lows to roughly triple top for the final hooray. Except (especially decentralized, algorithmic) cryptocurrency stablecoin may continue to gain adoption into the downturn into 2026+. By 2028ish the safe haven demand will kick back on for legacy protocol Bitcoin only. Note there are fixes to avoid the Luna stablecoin outcome.

Comment:

Will be CBDCs (including UBI) be weaponized to prevent people from spending their money so the central bank can bail-out without causing runaway inflation expectations? Pretexts for the forced rationing to be the obnoxious, nonsensical, junk science climate change, WW3, cyberattack and illusionary pLandemic hoaxes and false-flags. The covidiocy was the trial run and now Gates, Soros and the other henchmen are setting up the sovereignty busting WHO pandemic treaty. Wake up Kevin. You were so naive about Jan 6 and everything political. You're smart but too idealistic. You're learning and maturing.

When they adopt the CBDC and the govt stops minting cash and takes it out of circulation when ever it is deposited at a bank, gradually you will be whittled down. Your farmers won't be able to resupply their inputs which they will need CBDCs. I think you lack comprehension of how the economy, monetary, banking and financial system functions. How will you draw your wage out when the banks are not allowed to issue cash anymore? I am not lying down, I am actually doing something more realistic than your feckless, nonsensical hopium. Because I understand much more about what is going on, and what is plausible and implausible. Our only chance is decentralized cryptocurrency, but not Bitcoin as it will be reduced back to 5 transactions per second. There does not exist any viable decentralized consensus protocol other than Bitcoin, but there can only be one for game theoretic reasons I can not possible explain in a short comment. There is much more than I can possibly explain in a few comments. You will soon learn how powerless you are.

> Cash, bullion and crypto are your best friends 😁

> @S. Moore true so what's your solution?

@Tyler L and @T Ratzz there are no decentralized cyptocurrencies except for legacy protocol Bitcoin which will only do 5 transactions per second thus not for us. I know more about this than I can type into a comment. I am working on it. Proof-of-stake is just government coin in the end game. There can only be one proof-of-work due to the game theory which I can not explain in a comment. This is a very difficult problem and the planners planned this out very well since the January 1988 Phoenix cover story on the Economist Magazine which was actually when they had already figured out how to design Bitcoin. I have something up my sleeve. Bullion can be choked pointed at the dealers because it's physical. Physical barter of bullion will fail because warlords will hear you been spending it. Linux has been backdoored already. You are a simpleton and there are many details I can not fit into a comment.

17:50 correct Bitcoin is/was the Trojan horse. Let me explain. Only Satoshi's legacy protocol Bitcoin (not BCH nor BSV sh8tcoins) will survive the incoming "anyone can spend" attack on the impostor soft-fork that was created in 2017. Thus Bitcoin will only do ~5 transactions per second and there will be no layer 2 lightning networks which will all go "poof it's gone". Thus Bitcoin will be for CBs and we plebs will be enslaved in a two-tier monetary system. This has been the plan since January 1988 when Rothschild announced the Bitcoin Phoenix in his Economist Magazine. I have documented how Bitcoin has been on a 10 year cycle since then. Did you know the design of Bitcoin was described in an anonymous usergroup post in 1998? 2008/9 launch. 2017/8 mass awareness peak. Incoming 2028 at the culmination of the WW3 they will use to force us with.

Nigeria is the Bitcoin capital of the world. Why is that??? That is why they want them to accept CBDC...to get the people there to reject Bitcoin and other cryptocurriencies.

@vegan butterfly the entire point is that wet markets where smaller farmers sell their products for cash (or Bitcoin or mobile phone e-cash) still exist in rural, developing nations. There are very few remaining direct to the customer small farmers' markets in highly developed countries such as the U.S.. During the plandemic it was quite obvious that the mostly corporatized U.S. economy would enforce the unconstitutional diktats power grab. Whereas in developing countries where people have options (and not so unwilling to sleep on a dirt floor if they need to), the people are much capable of resisting.

Comment:

> > 2026
>
> @S. Moore expect a test first earlier

@Michael Archangel agreed. I mean 2026 will be the forced rationing phase under the pretext of WW3, cyberattacks, climate change, plandemic 2.0, etc. I know this because Bitcoin will not top out again until Q1 or Q2 2025 based on the repeating pattern. So the timing is not go hard down into lockdowns again until after that.

Comment:

> @S. Moore there will always be farms and small trade , we just need to get rid if our governments because they're the ones stopping them from doing direct business with us the consumer. It will go back to being a bit medieval but at this moment I don't think that's a bad thing

@This is England unlikely to go medieval. nope. Farmers need to pay for inputs. With cash cancelled, they will be squeezed. People will take the CBDCs and huddle in the cities. Farmers will be deplatformed. Agenda 2030 underway. This is the end of Western civilization as we knew it. This is dramatic shift because the Internet changed the power of the govt as they can make currency totally panopticon digital. Westerners are not taking this threat seriously. It will be too late when they realize they are totally enslaved.

> @S. Moore I do understand what you're saying but like I said , we got to go back to basics to clean this mess up, ain't saying its gonna be easy or quick but its the only way for us

EDIT: my Filipina is reading a lot of angry comments in her social media feeds about a proposal in the Philippines to register everyone in social media by their govt identification.

I took a moment to explain to her that Armstrong's machine learning (aka A.I.) computer program Socrates has been fed all the detailed data of the history of the world (including newspaper archives, emperors on ancient coins, etc), and has identified via correlation analysis a 51.6 year wave period of change, grouped by 6 waves to make 309.6 years. Which are then grouped by 6 to make 1858 year waves.

So the system of corrupt govt that worked during the past two millennia when the economy was agrarian will not work in the computer age where the govt has too much intrusive power due to the ubiquity of the panopticon digital networks. Thus we are in for a massive tumult as civilization figures out how to restructure governance to fit the computer age. We in the block chain industry (decentralization) are right in the mix of this and this is Armstrong's blind spot.

Comment:

(Confronting Legendary Hedge Fund Trader on Coming Crash | Bob Kendall & Meet Kevin)

I am 32 minutes in and so far I think the generative essence hasn't been articulated. Essentially the Fed can backstop everything (because banks hold Tbonds instead of the toxic waste derivatives) thus fighting the deflation of the Minsky Moment thus keeping inflation and interest rates both high. What this is doing is centralizing the entire system (including the banking system), in that only those who can invest money will keep afloat and everyone else will be nourished by peak socialism of govt. He says there will not be any banking crisis, but that is because the BTFP discount window is open to backstop everything. But those regional banks (hit by C.R.E. implosion) will essentially become zombie banks depending on the Fed's liquification of hold to maturity. This is why I say this is all a master plan program (remove the first r and replace the a with an o) of ubiquitous serfdom. The CBDC plays into this. Of course they want to restructure the debt to, "you will own nothing, you rent everything, and you will still be happy receiving UBI from the government doled out by CBDC." Essentially peak socialism is attempting to find a way to permanent utopia, but of course this will ultimately fail. This is not good. Read Arthur Hayes' *Kaiseki*.

Comment:

In short, this guy doesn't piece together the big picture. He seems to think that we are in some form of normalization. Which is impossible with the level of debt. Instead the only way to rescue peak socialism is to centralize everything. Thus this is not comparable to the Volker era, when the U.S. was still able to expand debt in a more free market system. No we are now at the end game of the failure of the govt itself, but this will be pushed until aftermath of the incoming WW3.

Comment:

Martin Armstrong wrote in his latest private blogs that he expects the uniparty NEOCONS to employ a false-flag to the launch WW3 with Russia before the 2024 elections. They ostensibly need this pretext to essentially cancel or rig the 2024 election with Biden the winner despite his never-be-seen-in-history 70% disapproval ratings. Biden of course is drugged on adrenochrome. Expect the CBDCs to be coming to trap everyone in Hotel Commiefornia-esque 666 centralized digital currencies as Arthur Hayes had explained in his *Kaiseki* blog.

“You can check in any time you like, but you can never leave.”

The door on freedom in the West is closing. GTFO to a Non-Aligned Movement country asap. Get your assets out of the West asap. That is unless someone figures out how to game the incoming CBDCs and make them convertible to fully decentralized cryptocurrencies such as legacy protocol Bitcoin. The capital controls preventing this will be intense, remember Yanet Jellan was even proposing that every transaction below $ 600 would need to be reported to the IRS.

Note Armstrong is entirely incorrect on the eventual outcome of Bitcoin, which will of course slay the NEOCONS and rise to be the new international reserve asset. Armstrong with his silly nonsense about Bitcoin relying on the grid which I have written to him many times to tell him that is not correct. Bitcoin has 10 minute block periods and only needs to transmit a hash of the block solution, which can easily be transmitted by short-wave radio. And Bitcoin mining can be performed off-grid with battery-backed solar or micro-hydro power. Also many Non-Aligned Movement countries are allowing Bitcoin mining and will refuse to genuflect to NEOCONs when push comes to shove in the incoming WW3.

Armstrong almost understands everything but has a huge blindspot w.r.t. Bitcoin.

Of course Armstrong is correct that many people will be trapped by the CBDCs and capital controls, thus unable to access Bitcoin (except via capital controlled ETFs). But the big money that survives will have exited to Bitcoin and will continue to game the system siphoning off assets into Bitcoin. Armstrong is going to witness this over the coming years and be entirely flabbergast. It will be a sight to behold when he finally admits he was blind as a bat.

Comment:

Doug Casey has a new blog article pondering if the NEOCONS are about to make a mess of our relationship with Mexico and essentially create a DMZ along the southern border. Remember Mexico was defying all that COVID crap and many Americans were traveling to Mexico to escape the diktats. So maybe the NEOCONS need (a low-level perhaps even undeclared along the border?) war with Mexico also!

To elaborate just a bit. Of course tangible assets are a threat to capital controls which might be another reason they need to make the southern border highly monitored so no one can escape to Latin America with their gold. Which is of course why Bitcoin is rising to be the new digital gold. Physical gold and real estate are dying as stores of wealth. Bitcoin is rising to replace them, and Armstrong is going to destroy his subscribers by giving them myopic advice suggesting they avoid Bitcoin as a store of wealth and instead buy precious metals. Duh!

The problem with fungible tangible assets like gold is that all the liquidity is provided by the market makers (aka dealers and their dealers), which can be easily regulated and forced to enforce capital controls. A black market in gold is nonsense because the warlords will know you have it, because you must exchange it in person because it is physical crap. Physical assets will become entirely immovable in this digital panopticon world we have entered by now with a camera in every device and on every lamppost. This is why it will only be Bitcoin that survives. Sorry Armstrong is on the wrong side of history on this one.

Comment:

The implications of Anglo-Saxons refusing to get their assets out of the West is that the English language will decline and the Spanish language will rise. We Anglo-Saxons will have no clout anymore in the world. We are allowing ourselves to be destroyed by our own corrupt overlords, because we lack the collective will to go to war against over own government and we are too intransigent to migrate out of the West (which if we did, it would collapse overnight and we could then return). But we individually are too fucking stupid and set in our ways to actually do what we need to do. There are very few intrepid Westerners, especially in my age bracket (cusp Gen X and Boomer) and older. The Western youth are already experimenting as digital nomads, but not sufficiently en masse.

(i was wrong | Meet Kevin)

💡🧠Moreover think about the dystopian political implications. If the broad base of lower income voters (those who have no assets nor investments to lose when confiscation via capital controls begins) have improved financial conditions under manufactured price inflation, then it behooves the culpable to continue to manufacture more of it. Also it is prepping the Gen Z for UBI doled out via CBDCs. Investors are going to be trapped in Hotel Commiefornia-esque, fully centralized banking and financial system. Asset prices might increase but Jamie Dimon says eminent domain must be applied to steal assets to fund climate change amelioration. Your observation (that lower income folks are LESS leveraged to price inflation than debt-financed aka risk-on ASSET holders, i.e. investors) did not occur to me when I noticed recently the chart showing that wages have increased more for low income folks. Bitcoin will continue to behave as a risk-on asset until the monetary system is upended. Those launching businesses should target the younger generation, as the Boomers are about fully cooked.

Comment:

ADDED: To unpack a bit more, I expect inflation to remain sticky long-term (although will spike down first before the Fed cuts/stimulates) because of the incoming (fully premeditated by the uniparty NEOCONs) WW3 and the intentional bifurcation (and destruction) of globalization to raise up the 1988 Economist Magazine Phoenix (which is Bitcoin) from the ashes. This is why they need the CBDCs to centralize control over consumer spending (and the capital controls will be justified as climate change amelioration for all the scientifically illiterate who believe anthropogenic climate change) so they can bailout sectors while also employing the pretext of trying to control demand side price inflation to actually use capital controls to lock all capital into the "you can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave" Hotel Commiefornia. Growth stocks that are reliant on cheap capital (i.e. low interest rates) will only have fleeting bounces. Thus you are ostensibly still not positioning correctly long-term. I would sell the marginal growth stocks on the extension of the rally into June or so, and let them bleed back down into Sep or Oct..

Comment:

Kevin do you even understand what is really going on in Sudan or Ukraine. Of course you do not. Your ideology bias blinds you to the reality. And thus your investment thesis is wrong.

(NOBODY is Paying Attention to This UNDERVALUED and Cheap Market)

@Alessio Rastani Silver is almost duplicating Bitcoin's gains. I see no reason to prefer it over Bitcoin. Either I have to hold tonnes of physical metal or all I will own is an IOU. With CBDCs coming, all IOUs will become trapped in looming WW3 capital controls. No doubt it is a decent speculation, but I do not have time for speculation. It is how I escape out the other side of the crap coming with my wealth intact that is more critical at this juncture. I had written publicly in 2010 predicting silver to go from ~$26 to ~$50 by summer 2011 and back down to ~$25 again. Nailed that one.

Comment:

I want to follow-up a bit more on why I think Armstrong is incorrect about tangible assets being the refuge of wealth during the ongoing train wreck smashup of the world.

Oh I think he is correct that must of the world’s wealth will move off-grid into physical assets (including precious metals, collectors items, real estate) as well as blue chip stocks. Blue chips because stagflation makes financing growth stocks non-viable.

The disconnect is that as Arthur Hayes wrote in his blog Kaiseki, that all that confiscate-able wealth is going to be trapped and confiscated.

Gold will be confiscated when brought to market (makers) or buried in the ground illiquid. Decentralized commerce employing gold or silver coins is absolute nonsense and Armstrong needs to really stop barking at that invisible tree. That ship said in the 1970s and entirely impossible now with the advent of the Internet and instant virtual commerce. Nobody is going back. Sorry. The governments have a panoption system of surveillance and physical gold does not work anymore as a transportable refuge.

Real estate could be confiscated under the pretext of climate change and also by proxies such as bankrupt local govts raising property taxes above levels that can be sustained. Also a wealth tax could end up a property tax, although it will not be marketed/pitched to us that way initially. Floridians think DeSantis will protect them, but do you really think the globalists who are pushing for this NWO are going to let Florida escape? Additionally climate change regulations in for example the U.K. have been making cost of retrofitting houses cost-prohibitive, so the houses go unoccupied. I figure they will undermine DeSantis, else they may have to resort to nuking Florida. Maybe Florida would be targeted for a false-flag at some point, although they tend to want to operate where they have the most corrupt influence, e.g. the 9-11 false-flag in NYC and the false-flags in Ukraine. Regardless, when you need to move, the proceeds of the sale could be trapped by capital controls.

The underlying reason for Armstrong's misconception of the significance of Bitcoin starts with his incorrect assumption that Bitcoin is designed for use by regular people. No. Bitcoin will become a global reserve asset and unit-of-account for the central banks (who will not trust each other in the new multi-polar world) and the large multinational corporations. We will not be able to use Bitcoin because the transaction fees will be $50,000 per transaction due to the limited 1 MiB block size of the surviving legacy protocol.

Also Armstrong is hung up on the traceability of Bitcoin and the governments ability to ban conversion to fiat or even holding the asset. The government can not confiscate Bitcoin off of the blockchain. If he thinks that then he is wrong. Those central banks and multinational corporations are not going to be subject to the any ban on Bitcoin, because they will sit above the governments and enslave the governments. This is the NWO what is coming into view now.

Thus Armstrong is foolishly leading his flock into losing their entire net worth as it will become trapped and wither away to nothing as Bitcoin rises as the 1988 Economist Magazine’s Phoenix.

Also Armstrong is incorrect about the NWO failing. The dominant governance is always tied to the dominant monetary reserve system. Bitcoin will enslave the nation-states, not vice versa. Because Bitcoin will become the unit-of-account and thus the nation-states will later be begging for Bitcoin capital in exchange for their trash fiat. THIS IS A MASTERFUL MASTER-PLANNED GLOBAL RESET INTO A NWO.

Comment:

This does not mean that I think CBDCs, the Great Reset, etc. will succeed universally. We must understand these are only manifestations of the collapse of the West. What I mean by success of the NWO is a multipolar world where no nation's empire is dominant enough to be the reserve currency.

I can not wrap my feeble mind around the dominant power structures in this NWO. Armstrong is entirely correct that the rise of a hard money as the unit-of-account would mean essentially no debt expansion, no ability for politicians to grow the economy through promises and debt. Is that not what we had in the 1800s when gold was the unit-of-account and there were depressions and bank runs every decade or so?

What does the path from here to there look like? How does the current leftist, technocratic coup d'etat play out? I am not smart enough to run scenarios in my head and figure out all the variables and possibilities. All I know is I should expect very, very challenging situations ahead.

Comment:

"@shelby3, We are now in a prime location above the confirmed critical support zone of 28,650-28,350 to make a jump above 30,000 and then we can start looking for a distribution box. This box would be perhaps with a range of about $15,000, which gives us a zone of approx. 31,000-46,000. The best thing for me would be to close the core long position and have a chance to sell short over the box, somewhere in the low-risk zone between 49,000-58,000. This should play out by the end of August. If BTC goes below 28,650-28,350 and does not return with strong momentum (like yesterday) above this zone, then we can dive in May somewhere between 26,010-24,700.

Looking at the fundamentals, I think everyone can see that BTC is going up thanks to the fuel from the QE pump."

@goodblackcat, whether BTC has one final shakeout to bottom of the Weekly Gaussian channel at ~$25.3k (which is also near the 200 WMA) is the only remaining question. But for sure Bitcoin is headed to $35.3k or higher no later than end of June, probably in May.

"@shelby3, Even if $20,000 proves to be a very strong support over the next 12 months, playing the short side of the market around 43,000-58,000 is likely to be very fruitful.

Overall, at this point, I'm assuming it's reasonable to assume that BTC will drop again by $50,000 before it hits $100,000. Even if BTC breaks ATH by $10,000-15,000, I will still bet on a pullback of at least $50,000."

@goodblackcat, historically as Eric Krown Crypto has shown that Bitcoin should rally above the Weeky Gaussian channel, then it should come back down to test the top of it or back to the bottom of it as was the case in 2020. As for the next ATH in 2025, refer to Steve Courtney’s (aka Crypto Crew U.) 5.3 factor model which says the next high will be 398% higher than the bottom. Thus if $15.4k was the bottom (i.e. no lower-low in 2024) then the next ATH in 2025 will be ~$77k. Whereas if Bitcoin drops with another flash crash in 2024 to perhaps fill that long-standing CME gap $9.6k, then Bitcoin will rally to ~$38k and never again make a new ATH. The reason for a flash crash could be that the uniparty mafia NEOCONs who have usurped control of the U.S. and NATO are pushing for WW3 with Russia to begin before the 2024 U.S. POTUS election so they can steal the election again. Also appears they are going to blame the horrific side-effects of the C19 jabs (my formerly healthy mother has ostensibly acquired Parkinson’s disease from taking 4 jabs) on another p(L)andemic with for example the new alleged leak from the bioweapon lab in Sudan. They blamed the first p(L)andemic on China and ostensible blame the second one on Russia. If Bitcoin never makes another ATH that would be the impostor Bitcoin 2017 softfork protocol that I oft write about in great detail, and the legacy protocol would eventually bifurcate (aka hark fork off) and go on to astronomical highs as legacy protocol Bitcoin becomes the world reserve currency in this emerging multipolar world. That said, I am more inclined to believe that Bitcoin might not fill that $9.6k gap until 2026 or 2028, when the impostor Bitcoin dies in the ANYONECANSPEND restoration event that often write about.

Comment:

The radicalization of the Judiciary makes the U.S. a more scary place going forward. I suppose these risks increasingly apply in every nation on earth (perhaps with an exception being some places in Africa?)

This is a reason Bitcoin will rise because anyone with wealth will need a place to stash it, that is transportable and can not be confiscated (short of torturing someone to make them reveal their private mnemonic passphrase). Govt can not confiscate Bitcoin, they can only regulate the fiat on/off ramps. Armstrong ostensibly fails to understand the technology. One can bury their gold in the ground but that won't help when need to flee or actually spend it. Bitcoin can be surreptitiously spent to another party without involving any intermediary market maker nor Brinks transportation company. The average person will not using precious metals in transactions, that's absurd— Armstrong needs to check in with reality sometime.

One advantage of having multiple passports and/or residency visas is to game the various mechanisms that will be employed to enslave us. So far, the globalists have been unable to achieve absolutely equivalent outcomes in every nation. e.g. for the pLandemic. Which one of the reasons they cited for needing a WHO treaty to take control away from the sovereign entities and put all control (via the complicit courts who will enforce the treaty) in the hands of the few overlords.

One thing to be noted is that Westerners had only one choice to mitigate C19 lockdowns and diktats, which was to move/travel. People in the U.S. were able to move between States to game the system. EuropeOns and Brits had only the choice to leave their countries for Florida or Mexico for example. Russians could travel to Belarus or other locales that snubbed most of the diktats. Australians couldn't even leave— they were locked inside their penal colony island continent (and even inside the province they reside).

There were significantly more protests in Europe, Australia and London about C19 because they had no escape valve where they could move between a Blue and Red State. In LatAm either policies were lax (Mexico and somewhat Brazil until the Supreme Court corralled Bolsonaro) or eventually the people (e.g. Colombians, Peruvians) revolted blaming other reasons (e.g. govt corruption) than the fake virus because they have no Schelling point around such a conspiracy theory.

Also I consider how diktats have different implications in different locales, e.g. in the city of McAllen, TX I had to follow the damn masking nonsense whereas in rural W. Texas nobody was enforcing (and very few adhering to) that shit. It was of course worse in CA than TX or FL. But it was still intrusive and Twilight Zone enough in Texas to motivate me to apply for residency in Mexico (also the hot climate was a significant motivator).

Another example is that in the U.S. our food supply is so dependent on corporations so it will easy to restrict it. Whereas in the developing world I would probably always be able to source food— there were even indigenous peoples around where I was in Baja CA which were always offering to sell me fruits and vegetables. If the local Sheriff or constable comes in the U.S. to enforce a court order to stop harboring livestock and a vegetable garden, then you will not have much choice because very few others are doing that. You will be the lone voice pissing into the wind with your howls— nobody will hear you.

Bolsonaro might lose his escape valve of FL. I wonder if another LatAm country will grant him asylum? I am not clear if he is back in Brazil at this time, appears he is. I have been told by some right wing Brazilians that civil war is coming to Brazil.

('Can You Tell Me Which Justices Are For Sale?': John Kennedy Confronts Dem Witness About Past Tweets)

My take on this is that when the debt bubble was expanding, everyone had an incentive to hold the (always corrupt) political and judicial system together at least pretending to the public it was righteous, Constitutional and impartial. But now with the debt-bubble collapsing and the West entirely hinged to debt, even all real estate is priced by pulling income forward by 30 to 40 years unlike a cash-based real estate in the developing world, then the West has no direction to go but to devour itself and disintegrate. There is no possible rejuvenation for the West until it has been waylaid to scorched earth and can start to regrow from a cash-based third world status. The cycle has passed the apogee and the accelerating waterfall collapse is underway. There may be brief periods of deadcat rejuvenation lasting maybe a decade or so, along the way to the MadMax end of the U.S.A. by 2080 as predicted by Armstrong's cycle models. But these will come after the initial devastation ahead from now until 2033 or 2037. This initial bout of devastation is likely to be quite severe and transformative. Subsequently perhaps the next Gen Z generation will attempt to rebuild the public sector with their new pragmaticism born out of the realities they will observe over this coming decade, but I can't help but presume they will mix in social justice warrior crap and this will prevent any complete rejuvenation. I have not much hope for the West from here forward. It is basically over. The only question is how bad it will get within my remaining lifetime. I do not expect anything like what we had in my lifetime in my youth ever to return in my lifetime in the West.

Go East and South young man. The North West is fully cooked.

Why do you not understand that the auto manufacturers understand that the Western Minsky Moment is coming and the West will be impoverished? They are cashing out their chips folks. The West is circling the toilet bowl because we are debt slaves and the uniparty NEOCONs are premeditating WW3 (forcing Russia and China) as the pretext (scapegoat) for the coming collapse. Never again we will have affordable vehicles in the U.S.. We will have pestilence, deprivation and maybe 15 minute cities.

The U.S. will be a hollow shell of itself after another 5 years of this intentional self-destruction. There is no way they will let Trump win the election. It will get much worse when they launch WW3 in 2024 as the pretext to steal/cancel the election. They are already pushing the monkeypox narrative and will blame the C19 vax-induced illness on a new hoax p(L)andemic. The West has gone completely psycho.

(The Car Market Is In TROUBLE! Don't Fall Victim To This QUALITY CRISIS)

@OrdinaryHuman the entire country will not be literally composed of 15 minute cities. It's my short-hand nomenclature for the trend underway. Take for example San Diego which recently approved ADUs and tiny homes. The intent is to pack people in as densely as possible. In this case EVs might work if people have a place to charge them when they are parked. The main benefit is to reduce smog and noise. But EVs will never work in a nation that wants to retain the ability to roam. The bankruptcy you are hoping for is going to be you trapped with an EV and no electricity. You fools deserve it. I am leaving to where ICEs are still fully available across the southern border. You idiots are going right along with the plan of enslavement. Good luck carting the solar panels on top of your abode around with you where ever you may roam.

Comment:

Clif High (from Washington State) suggests silver will go to $600, yet he also thinks Bitcoin will exceed $1 million (though he does not attach a specific deadline to that prediction). I don’t know how much credence I put into this guy. He could be a grifter making shit up. OTOH, it is possible he did gain insight with an A.I. large language model (LLM) designed to key in on information people leak through the emotion in language, that people are not self-aware of. Whereas, Armstrong's large data model extracts correlation from facts and advance movement of capital, Clif’s model purports to extract predictions from leaky and advance movement of emotions! Thus Clif’s models should in theory be complementary to Armstrong’s.

One Clif’s most profound points (which he mentioned when agreeing with Armstrong’s dire prognosis for this decade) is that the people who are perishing now is because they can’t accept that everything they have known for their entire Boomer life is now deprecated and INVALID. He also doubts the 75% first jab rate in the U.S.. Thus he says those who refuse and can’t adjust to the end of the fiat-debt-tit they have sucked their entire life (even if indirectly) and the normalcy bias they have towards the empire which is now culling them with eugenics (e.g. Bill Gates’ diabolical vaccines), are implicitly choosing to end their lives (to not exist). As you all know I have posited similar hypotheses.

47:10 China has been working to destroy the U.S. since 1979. CCP is hooked up with Klaus Schwab’s WEF.

55:25 His LLM had picked up around 2005 that a coming new “people's money”. It also indicated it would be used for international settlement to avert the intractability of moving large tonnage of gold around. Ergo, Bitcoin. The governments will end up begging the citizens to sell them some Bitcoin. Martin Armstrong is still blind to this. His predictive model says the people will reject the CBDCs— thus far he is correct in Nigeria.

1:07:10 end of the empire but it is better to lose the ugly empire. Men need a right-of-passage which is what this is about. Without being wounded, you do not know how to heal and grow. Those who can not give up on the old empire, will find some way to not exist, because they refuse to let go of the old empire and they can not change. They are shrieking which is their death rattle because they can’t deal with the new reality taking form.

1:16:48 crashes to come in summers which is atypical as the Luciferian class likes to harvest in Fall, which is a truest sign that the overlords are not in control.

I doubt it, also modern man lived very comfortable lives, probably much weaker than their ancestors, has low pain tolerance , maybe they'd rather suicide than being part of a real war

Comment:

It is a very interesting point that has also been raised before, of the concept of a WW3 where those countries which do not have a large supply of young warrior men that need to be culled with bloodshed to weaken the resistance of the society to the changes the overlords want to implement, instead are induced into those changes (even including eugenics) via propaganda and other means of control such as collapse of the banking, debt and monetary system combined with well-timed enslavement paradigms that are offered as solutions to the premeditated crisis (“never let a good crisis go to waste”) such as 666-like CBDCs.

What strikes me is how normal Los Angeles feels for the most part. People are returning to the lives they had before C19. They seem to want C19 to become a distant memory asap.

Yet not a single Uber driver or other American I have interacted with over these past days is aware of a potential debt ceiling induced government shutdown, nor the ramifications of ramming through an unlimited raise of tghe debt ceiling.

The enslavement net noose is being tightened around the society and the sheeppl are entirely tuned out— just like C19 they won’t even comprehend what is slamming them in the face as this Greater Depression cum technocratic enslavement proceeds.

I am so tempted to have a normalcy bias while here in L.A.. Just seems so wonderful and everyone is partying like it’s 1999 again.

It is possible that the frogs will be slow boiled and the CBDCs, etc will also play out smoothy with everyone gradually falling into greater levels of totalitarianism? Or is entropy and chaos about to give everyone a swift horse kick in the groin?

My bet is on the latter. Buckle up folks. Incoming turbulence up ahead around the bend.

Comment:

I find it increasingly difficult to pity these blobs of protoplasm referred to as humans. These sheeppl do nothing but enslave the rest of us with their failure to even give a shit and be astute.

Going through whole body scanner again (every fucking time fly in the U.S. but not in the Latin American countries) I was sent back in a second time because the operator claimed it did not register the first time. So irradiate me twice? Operator claims there's no radiation. Is he a fucking idiot? All electromagnetic waves are radiation. Maybe he means no ionizing radiation? He tried to assure me he would have cancer now if so. Yet he stands outside the machine.

As I walked towards the gate, I noticed a bright flash and realized I had been photographed by cameras I then noticed. I then observed that nobody else was photographed. Hmm. 🤨

The nooses are tightening. Wonder why I am being singled-out, if so? Probably nothing right, just random events? Paranoia?

So if most people are clueless fucks who are more concerned with stuffing their orifices than diligence about freedom, how will these little piggies react when their punch bowl is taken away? Who will they blame? Of course probably whatever the dominant propaganda narrative they’ll presumably latch on to that, at least for a couple of years as they did with C19.

I do not believe in the concept that 10% awake can swing the outcome in terms of elections. The elections are rigged. Would need a supermajority willing to overthrow the government.

What we do appear to have in the U.S. is significant percent that are awake about certain issues such as government spending, illegal immigration and woke culture. But many of these same individuals believe the Ukrainian war is justified. The propaganda is not monolithic but rather multipronged even designed to promote opposing political diversions and deceptions.

Most humans are just seeking “feel good” dopamine hits. I can observe this nearly everywhere and constantly. Just observe people and you observe most of focused much of the time on dopamine.

Yet the powerful are also deluded into thinking they can do just one thing. You can never do just one thing— that’s the Second Law of Thermodynamics aka Butterfly Effect, Chaos Theory and the irreverseability of events. Thus the powerful delude themselves as to the degree of control they actually possess. They can experiment sure, but it will eventually blow up in their face, which can take the form of massive collateral damage.

Fact is though that sheeppl have always been slaves and will always be slaves. Thus a CBDC makes perfect sense, as the modern variant of slavery as debt slavery is harvested. But what doesn’t make sense entropically is that all humans can be enslaved, as that would be too highly ordered to be sustainable.

Thus this indicates to me that either those who are determined to not be slaves will either develop countermeasures that separate us from the slaves, and/or the slaves will perish. I am leaning to that the CBDCs will be very leaky with surrogates and what not. And those who aren't resourceful enough (i.e. the slaves) will fall into a clusterfuck or unimaginable dysfunction. Government shutdowns will be child's play compared to mismanaged centralized CBDC clusterfucks. Imagine totalitarians holding the reigns of a CBDC.

My problem with Armstrong's stance is that I think he highly underestimates the level of scorched earth we will pass through as these centralized clusterfucks and all their boiling frog sheeppl ultimately fail. Although in following interview Armstrong reveals some scary possibilities.

Comment:

ADD: at ~60 minutes Armstrong vomits up his usual idiocracy about governments will kill BItcoin, lol. What a fool. Bitcoin will enslave the governments, not the other way around. Armstrong does not seem to understand that Bitcoin is not intended to be currency in widespread use. Thus conversion to fiat is irrelevant. Gold is much more vulnerable to governments, than Bitcoin. Because gold can not be exchanged decentralized over distance on highly liquid decentralized exchanges. Physical gold requires face-to-face meetups to find liquidity and those market makers (i.e. dealers) can easily be identified by the government. The govt has not a fucking chance in hell of tracking down every decentralized exchange. Armstrong is a fucking idiot. Armstrong thinks there can still be black markets despite a ban on fiat cash, yet even if so, once the local warlord hears you’ve been transacting in gold…which is why gold as an underground currency is utter nonsense.

Regarding Armstrong mentioning that Marxism has killed 100s of millions and will soon again, I realize Marxism is the antidote to idiocracy. Marxism is the natural outcome for useless blobs of protoplasm— it's a perfectlly natural cleansing mechanism.

Yet Armstrong will entirely miss the Bitcoin train, be impoverished and impoverish all his followers. Perfect. As it should be.

I understand why the wealthy hate the idiots. For example, I am traveling light with my backpack very lightly packed as I left most of the contents it in California. As I was attempting to place my bag in the overhead bin, these idiot flight attendants tried to tell me that because my bag is lightly packed, it is a personal item that I must squeeze under the seat in front of me where my feet need to go. I was to be penalized for not exceeding the size dimensions as everyone else does, to accommodate the consequent overloading. I was to be punished for not breaking the rules, while everyone who broke the rules is accommodated first. THAT IS PRECISELY MARXISM. We live in an idiocracy where the useless blobs of protoplasm try to take more than they are worth at every juncture to appease their useless congenital, dopamine addiction.

Scroll down to the F.A.Q.. I don’t see any way this can work as governments will ban this in terms of nefarious activities. I do not believe that the ability to prove traffic was not initiated yourself will be an adequate legal defense, e.g. government can argue you could route your own illicit activity through your anonymous provision. The only long-term viability for something like this in terms of activities governments might ban, is for providers to be compensated so they have an incentive to seek out favorable jurisdictions or technological arbitrage (e.g. shortwave radio). As for bypassing Netflix's and cryptocurrency exchange's IP address check, if users can whitelist only certain websites they allow themselves to be providers for, that might work but I think this needs to the tit-of-tat solution I had long suggested for Bitorrent (which they refused) so that users can only available of bandwidth they have also provided, to prevent freeloading. Also even allowing others to access their exchange account through your IP could be incriminating.

> "I just read some Zoltan Pozsar and his only mistake is that gold can’t be external money because it is always held internally, which is the point I made last night to 160 IQ Nicholas Taleb. Gold will rally a bit perhaps to $3 to 5k, and then it will fail its monetary function and there will be a realization that there is only Bitcoin and nothing else. Sorry to say."

25:30 Pozsar says money needs a public component, thus he doesn’t yet see how Bitcoin will be a significant new form of money. His myopia is not yet connecting the dots that Bitcoin will be the monetary unit of the NWO with a global empire that enslaves the nation-states as was explained in famed mathematician John Nash’s Ideal Money manifesto (published on Jstor).

In this article Pozsar is pointing out that interest rates will be sticky because government spending and inflation will be (WW3 is another reason) thus the Fed will be forced back to QE later this year in the form of YCC but this will send private money into better forms of cash (e.g. gold, Bitcoin) as bonds become a risk asset.

This is why they will be moving to WW3 and CBDCs (Restrict Act, etc) because they will need totalitarianism to try to trap capital and prevent it from exiting the system. They will also attempt to drive the dollar safe haven by fucking up the world.

We are entering really bad times. Get your assets out of the West while you still can.

It has all the gadgets (lane centering, nice screen, intelligent drive, dual clutch 7 goat modes for all conditions, inverter 400w, 12v and usb everywhere). This is the best Ford car.

@C C all that complexity which will impact on longevity and panopticon enslavement, to compensate for the high price of fuel which was forced down our throat intentionally by an unelected mafia in control of the govt. A normally aspirated gold ole inline 6 or V8 was good for 300,000+ miles and much simpler systems that anyone could work on. The firmware of these systems is closed source. We do not even know what might be lurking in the software. True technological progress would be to open source everything and let us pick and choose from the free market rather than shoving this obfuscated enslavement system down our throats. The fact that you perceive your panopticon enslavement positively is quite telling. Enjoy it sheeppl (sheeple aka sheep people). Baaa. Baaa.

@TeeKay not if manufacturers shut down production and/or shift production due to new highly sought 2024 models, e.g. Ford Bronco, new Ranger, Raptor, Toyota Tacoma, etc..

This is scary a.f.. The Fed+Treasury (which I already documented are controlled and owned by BlackRock since the GFC in 2008) is busy collapsing the banks so we will end up with only less than a dozen national banks. This will prevent States’ rights from defending conservatives from this woke mob (lead by WEF, Soros and BlackRock) from canceling all our bank accounts. They will go CBDC by 2025/6 and we conservatives are going to feel the boot on our throat. When will Martin Armstrong overcome his cognitive dissonance and realize the Fed has long since been coopted from its original intended function and is now entirely complicit.

@Zng Well can we really expect him to overcome moles and implausibility? Be realistic. I mean he can not possibly check on every individual ban. I was likely banned for exposing information that powerful people want suppressed. It was ostensibly easy to sneak my ban in through any oversight because I was employing a non-paid account and I am traveling abroad. So it probably flagged me on some technicality such as suspicious login activity or whatever. I would like to know, but the data is not open source.

Anyway, I am going to build it on a blockchain and put an end to this charade.

(Public, political resistance to CBDCs won't matter, government will sneak them in - Moss & Breedlove)

Many correct points made in this video, but there’s also several mistakes. Bitcoin did not fork into BCH/BSV and BTC, rather into the former two, plus a yet to be resolved soft-fork of legacy and non-legacy BTC, which has ginormous implications which the two interviewees aren’t aware of. Bitcoin and derivative crypto are a Trojan horse that forces CBDCs because stable coins compete with national fiats. Given that the surviving legacy BTC will only support 1 MiB blocks with ~7 transactions per second, there is no way that BTC will be the unit-of-account for the masses. BTC will be used by and the unit-of-account for the elite and central banks, whilst the rest of us will be enslaved with CBDCs. This is known historically as a two-tiered global monetary system, e.g. trade silver dollars and internal silver dollars. The economic implications model of Bitcoin is based on the late, famed mathematical genius John Nash’s Ideal Money proposal published on Jstor. Nash described how the Ideal Money would enslave the nation-states, who then enslave their citizens. Bitcoin is a diabolical weapon that eventually ends up entirely centralized with 50+% of the hash rate to be controlled by its creators (the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, etc). John Nash was assassinated on the same EZ Pass that he had mentioned in the abstract of said paper.

COMMENT: Your reporting on the Red Cross and other organizations that facilitate the mass importation of illegals into America is well done. But its purpose is about more than just a move to import a bunch of Biden voters to help secure a second term.

Are you aware of the Cloward and Piven strategy? These were two communist professors who devised a plan to take down the capitalist structure of the United States through mass illegal migration that overwhelms U.S. social safety net programs and local governments. It is an intentional plan to collapse the U.S. and bring in a new (global) regime that will issue ‘guaranteed basic income’ to all.

Note Martin Armstrong pointed out that Kondratiev analysis was myopic because he lacked extensive data. Armstrong identified a cycle base on Pi.

Martin Armstrong, I urge you to blog more about acceptance that everything will collapse. Your indignant blogs make you appear to be unable to be objective, sober, stoic and resigned (i.e. indignation is lame), as if being indignant serves any goal or will change anything.

Please help your readers transition to what comes next. Move on to a different messaging. Being indignant plays right into the hands of our abusers. Become indifferent instead to vacate their psychological power over us.

0:58 this fake Christian liberal-tard conflates God loving all with abusing children, as if sexualizing children is somehow "inclusive". These liberal-tards have a depraved ideology (i.e. religion) which is dividing and wrecking the country. But actually the powers that be are pushing this and put that ideology in their minds with propaganda and in the education system to begin with. Liberals have always wrecked or been coincident with the wrecking/demise and waterfall collapse of civilizations. Buckle up folks because the engines are on fire and we are going down. And yes the gestapo will be putting us on hate lists for common sense speech, thus defying our 1st amendment rights. The Constitution has been dead since Abraham Lincoln's suspension of it with the Leiber code martial law which is the legal authority under which the current illegitimate Feds are operating. But the worst is how duped the American people are. As Isaac Shelby's lateral descendant, I must say this is a sad, sordid outcome given the sacrifices our ancestors made for us. The asleep, spineless, apathetic, debt-gorging American sheeppl deserve their fate.

(Coinbase CEO on Crypto's Regulatory Challenges: An In-Depth Conversation | WSJ)

The law is the law. Coinbase will ultimately lose. The argument that Ethereum is decentralized is dubious. The downgrade to proof-of-stake was entirely designed and coordinated by the devs under their supreme leader and public-facing spokesman Vitalik Buterin. Also the power-law distribution of stake is an invariant that is never not the case. Thus even though we may not know the names behind the curtain, there are small number of individuals who control every proof-of-stake blockchain. Thus it certainly appears to be an obfuscated enterprise, which I think what the courts will ultimately conclude. Thus everything not Bitcoin will end up as a security, unless there can be any other surviving proof-of-work altcoins and/or someone can invent an alternative to the current status quo of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake. Yes I am implying that every proof-of-stake blockchain based cryptocurrency is probably a security under the Howey test.

Excellent. Armstrong is transitioning to what comes next. This is more productive and he is also helping readers not make a mess of themselves barking up pointless, rotting trees.

So you will see, Republican throwing Trump under the bus. This is a warning to anyone who thinks they really can drain the swamp. DeSantis – please stay here in Florida. You will NEVER make a difference in that town. The time for declaring the Democracy of Florida is rapidly approaching.

And to those who hate Trump, this has nothing to do with Trump. If the Republican gain power, they will retaliate with the same vengeance and lack of rule of law. We have crossed the Rubicon. As for the RINOS who will not defend the country, the constitution, or even speak up about the weaponizing of the DOJ against political opponents, we now know who you really are and you do not stand by the Constitution. We live in a full-blow authoritarian dictatorship. As even the cartoons use to sign off – That’s All folks! We now have less than 8 years left. Protesting will do nothing at this point, The Die has been Cast, as Caesar said when crossing the Rubicon. There is absolutely nothing we can do to reverse the trend.

Martin, even Michael Jordan once said he does not criticize white people, because they buy his Air Jordan shoes which made him a $billionaire. This is why they desperately need the CBDCs so they can try to force us to support ESG with the carbon credits crap. I think they will fail, but they will as you say create pandemonium along the way.

The “go woke, go broke” slogan holds weight. If you bring politics or religion into the boardroom, you’re bound to offend at least half of the people and lose half of your customers.

On the private blog Armstrong reiterates that CBDC not until 2025.

The junta-in-charge can’t cancel cash before they launch the CBDC. And they can’t force everyone onto CBDCs (in the U.S. at least) until they collapse most of the banks; so that only a few complicit banks remain. The recently launched FedNow is for instant transfer of funds from accounts, which will help drive the contagion which will collapse the regional banks when the (child-trafficking-adrenochrome-harvesting-addicted-child-sniffing) junta is ready.

Debanking individuals may accelerate in 2024 as the junta ramps up their false-flags and corruption to hang on to power into end of 2024. But the full in-your-face totalitarianism will wait until the markets peak in 2025 and when the junta needs to defund and stifle post-election Civil war.

I do contemplate the significant plausibility that banks could start to enforce capital controls (including limited cash withdrawals from ATMs) before the CBDC and cancellation of cash, based on a pretext of money laundering to the “enemies” as geopolitical conflicts escalate and more countries defect from the American Empire (e.g. Africa, even Mexico is on the verge of joining BRICS).

So thus I do not think the exit door from the West will fully slam shut before the 2024 POTUS election in November, although capital movement and even human movement could become more difficult as soon as H2 2024.

The absolute cutoff for plan B prep appears to be sometime in 2025.

43:25 I am surprised that Vivek and Elon (at least publicly) do not seem to contemplate the likelihood that Zelensky negotiated the Istanbul peace agreement with Russia to blackmail the West into committing to arm him. Zelensky never wanted peace, rather he wanted to enrich himself by siphoning off from billions in military aid to his offshore bank accounts. He wanted to force the hand of the Neocons. Boris the Clown was sent over there to negotiate the terms of satiating Zelensky. Zelensky ostensibly is essentially working for the Neocons, George Soros, etc..

Martin interesting you would blog about this, because I was watching C-SPAN testimony on this topic the prior day and listen to the testimony from the very articulate blonde female Jennifer Mascott. She explains many reasons why this is unconstitutional. I just happened to land on that page because I was searching for video of that black man Donald K. Sherman, who is the Deputy Director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which is the organization promulgating that inane theory that Trump can be disqualified based on the 14th Amendment.

IF THE CONGRESS CAN REGULATE THE SUPREME COURT, THEN THIS IS TRULY THE END OF THE RULE OF LAW & THE UNITED STATES!

It gives me no pleasure to even report that the Computer has our days numbered. This abuse is outrageous, and this latest trick to overthrow the Supreme Court will terminate the rule of law in the United States.

…

Without the Rule of Law and fair, independent courts, then NO country can survive. The oppressed have no other choice BUT TO resort to violence. That is precisely what our computer is projecting post-2025.

…

You cannot protect your civil rights, free speech, or your property without an agreed-upon Rule of Law.
