Saker Webmaster
Our thoughts are being dominated via “news” of riots across nations. Not only America, but those who are linked to it i.e. either 5-eyes or Europe. It’s said that it’s about the death of a black American at the hands of a white policeman. I don’t think it is. A localised riot yes – there have been many of those, even though figures show that more whites are killed by white policemen than are blacks. But they don’t spread like this, not only across the US but UK, Australia, France.
I think that maybe It’s something else. I think we are making a mistake.
As Agatha Christie’s detective, Hercule Poirot, might have said:
“Sacre bleu mon ami, but I have been blind, we are making a big mistake. We are looking in the wrong direction. We are looking at the man. But it was not the man. It was what he said”.
“But” says his friend Hastings, “What did he say Poirot?”
and Poirot replies, “I can’t breath”. </i?
These days, millions of us can’t breath.
Perhaps what's behind it is that, by pure chance, the man who died, who happened to be black, uttered the one phrase that resonates with millions around the world today, especially in Empire+ AND 5-eyes countries.
He said “I can’t breathe” and died.
How do you think it is that nearly all those people going Crazy in ways that aren’t explained by the death of a man who, apparently, was a thug, but have left silent the death of a coloured man trying to protect a store from looters who was shot dead by those looters, those protesters.??
Why are people in Australia, UK, Canada, rioting like there’s no tomorrow? Because a man they never heard of died thousands of miles away?
I can’t see that. I feel that perhaps it’s because he said what they have all been feeling for years now, even if they haven’t identified that that IS what they are feeling — and it’s growing to be intolerable.
They try to cope with increasing PC laws, which in some parts of UK get you put in prison overnight and your kids left alone – because you put the wrong coloured garbage bin out for the night. They are struggling with increasing traffic jams,; taxes, taxes, taxes, stupid mindless bureaucrats, more taxes, more dumb laws, more and more restrictions on movement, restrictions on passports, lockdowns, job losses, increasing poverty, increasing prices,; gender bender laws claiming a man can be a woman just by thinking and we all have to bow to his edict; that they have no National Identity and must live side by side with alien cultures,; the effects of fighting with Russia, with Europe, and in Europe with each other,; and still America talks of “making a quagmire for Russia in Syria”,; of invading this that and other, and there is no end in sight to this evil crazy insanity and daily the “news” which they know are lies but have nowhere else to go to try and understand, keeps telling them over and over and over the bad, stupid, insane, vile actions of the people ruling them, stifling, them, sitting on them, until inside they are screaming “I can’t breath”.
And then a black man being choked to death by an out of control copper was killed screaming their scream.
And now it’s “gone viral”. It’s become the cry of the angry man who isn’t’ going to take it anymore.
Where is going to lead? I’d like to think that the changes that are essential are going to happen – but I can’t. I cant see who is a person in America, UK, or Europe, with vision and strength to make those changes happen. I dont think any of them know how to make the changes. I doubt anyone there knows how to tackle a system taking them to perdition.
And since bowing to and trying to appease a bully NEVER does appease them – I feel very fearful for the people there, and what is to come.
As an UK ex-pat you are hardly alone, Pamela.
Here’s a very different sort of British Islander than you by training……also living abroad……….. somewhere in South America…with very similar foreboding in his voice.
Jimmy N Lose
What’s the N stand for Jim-Jim?
“It stands for NEVER.”
But he doesn’t sound so sure…….in this talk, this month:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Ow9QpkgLI
Bitcoin, Gareth Williams GCHQ, Body In Bag, Clintons, Epstein, Satoshi Nakamoto. YOLO! + tech Q&A
Even with what Jimmy knows the best (Bitcoin…he’s been in it as a technical person from nearly the beginning) he is worried.
He posts an article in the Live Chat The Great Promise that raises many questions about all three “bitcoins” …which even he cannot answer yet:
https://medium.com/@brickleberryfairy/the-great-promise-c1b987726498
If amarynth were to dare to read the article she would surely find it upsetting because it very much debunks the idea that there is ANYTHING the least bit “robust” about ANY of the 3 principal contenders for the “Bitcoin” name. It begins:
“What went wrong? Bitcoin promised to change the world, but a decade on and one has to ask “Do any regular people use Bitcoin in their day to day life”? Sadly the answer is no, but this is not the extent of the problem……”
And from there…..Rothbard’s Disciple goes on to ask numerous additional VERY troubling QUESTIONS….about that “space”.
Which is what attracts me to the article and to Jim-Jim’s point of view. I am attracted to the toughest questions. THERE is were the most real learning is to be found!
One of Which Questions for y’all might be…WHAT ON EARTH do Gareth Williams GCHQ, Body In Bag, Clintons, Epstein, Satoshi Nakamoto………..have to do with each other???.
I am fairly sure they are all related, as well, Jim-Jim. Which is why Jimmy interests me. He knows more of things that I don’t know (the Q & A in that June 3 video’s title ) and in a general sense…..I might even know something politically or philosophically that might help him figure some piece of the puzzle out…..but he is on the trail…..of quite a “BIT”.
Pun intended, of course.
Yes, he goes into The Virus….briefly.
The riots??? Like I pointed out in the comments to Saker’s “we don’t have to kneel” article you are dealing with mind control MEMES of victimhood and submission………..starting with the ritualistic killing BY kneeling and ending with mind-controlled zombies all over the world tripping all over themselves to kneel.
To WHAT??
When many deaths by “protestors” result from the excuse of protesting one death, this is no kneeling to Justice or Reason, or Life.
Despite self-righteous BS to the contrary.
It might as well be clear: It is submission to Mass Death that the Prince of Darkness (or Light …if Lucifer is who one is in reverent awe of) Demands now be administered to the human species.
And THAT theme is gonna link Gareth (math savant inducted directly into Crown Service as a teenager) Williams and his murder (the Bag he was locked in….. referenced in the video’s title) to Jim-Jim’s expertise in another link provided in the Chat Box.
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6309656/550/37/kleiman-v-wright/
…around page 98…which has the start of the National Security section of the deposition.
Now in a subsequent comment I will need to bring in related material NOT on Jim-Jim’s radar….I don’t believe:
The War of Light Vs Dark in the Catholic Church….and some other truly hard core…..and not so funny as Chop-Chop (Soromalia) in Seattle…..stuff.
Many MORE Questions…..
The main difference between you and Jim-Jim at this stage???
I hope you are able to listen to it all: NO Fear.
“YOLO” is how he expresses his philosophy. You Only Live Once.
And if fear is conquered……you only die once, as well.
The Darkness feeds on fear…..so we need to starve it out. Then we’ll feel better …think better…and also be able to do much more.
Oh yes, the Darkness trades in fear, creates fear, because it’s all it knows and it needs it, not only to feed from but to cover its evil from the light and eyes of honest and true men.
I think two things combat the Darkness best, from my experience anyway – knowledge and awareness of that which science cant measure. I mean the eternal nature of all things, the fact that, as the great Tesla told us “if you would understand the universe you must think in terms of vibration, frequency, energy”.
And knowledge slowly accruing from science [well, some parts. The parts that have escaped scientism and politics] is coming round to discover that it is in tune with the faiths and believes of ancient knowledge too.
The experiments in Quantum Entanglement are showing us that we are all one, and all able to affect each other, and the closer in vibration and frequency we are either with another person or our environment, the more we understand it and change and improve our reactions to it.
I didn’t listen to the gentleman all through – Im afraid he hit my “teflon spot”, and I couldnt stick with it. But I too have had an intuitive distrust of Bitcoin from the first. I like the principle of the technology, but to think it can take the place of true money as a store of value, I dont see. What is it backed by? What gives it value save the belief others have it, which is the issue now with the US $? And for me, finally, one has to put complete faith in the continuance of the power grids and electronic network surviving some massive collapse.
Lose all internet and power and where is your magic money? gone like the fairy gold from the bottom of the rainbow I fear.
I’d rather put my trust in tangible values that contribute to the good of the community frankly – another of the ways in which I depart from Keiser of RT – and refuse to watch him anymore.
Pamela: ” What is it backed by?” …this is the right sort of question!
It may surprise you to discover (like Jimmy N Lose knows CAN exist…but also can be ruined….still it is not mature enough to be secure….) that the answer, in my best estimate after careful study for 3 years, is not necessarily “NOTHING”……nor is the answer “Less than the Dollar, The Pund the Euro” …either.
In fact. Wrap your head around this one, if you can:…the primary immediate use of the technology is far more likely to be its Data Storage (“Bit”) than it is to be its societal use in transmitting Value “”Coin”. For a decade or more……..
But most everybody has the cart before the horse…..which can mean (surprise, surprise! LOL) neither goes much of anywhere. OR…if the horse (data, Bit) is instead hitched to the cart (“Coin”…. payment) the whole thing gains traction and gets out of the present mud, and muddled concepts and goes farhter than you can presently imagine.
Even into Space. As in Off-Planet spaces.
But further, more detailed questions, in my humble opinion…are the only thing that can lead to those sorts of completely unexpected discoveries.
Not preaching, hoping or proclaiming.
We distrust what we don’t understand ….and that is as it should be…..even with mysteries that have some allure.
The other part of your reply that is worth its weight in Bitcoin (Oh, wait! WHICH ONE?? It has been so fragmented……diluted/…er gold……metaphorically…not by weight or mere monetary measure…) are your more esoteric (Quantum Entanglement and such…all good!) thoughts and ideas.
But your l;ast two sentences are also fruitful soil for Q and A.
Q: “Lose all internet and power and where is your magic money?”
A: a) Lose all internet and power for days…..and you have much greater problems than one of several possible concurrent (cash doesn’t need power and can coexist …..) payment options being down a while. Waiting hours for your computer and or the internet to come back up would usually only be a minor irritant……since the Theory of Either /Or Absolutism ( A world of ALL “bitcoin” is not proposed by me, nor the more realistic students of it…such as Jimmy Lose) If some of your cryptographic “money” is on your charged cell phone…and you have a solar charger….and the recipient of your payment has no power…but does have the cell phone option…you could still be able to transact.
But it is far more complicated than that: A more stable evolution of the present internet (the Metanet…”a serverless network”) is eventually posed….that can’t go down…..without Nuclear War or a giant asteroid finishing off the planet.
Furthermore (this gets much harder to conceptualize and DO) but the internet (Theoretically, mind you…so please leave your questions on this obscure corner for someone like Jimmy…LOL) is said to not strictly be required.
b) It is no more “magic” than a transistor radio or tape recorder…..might seem 125 years ago,
c) I don’t watch Max K on this anymore either. MOSTLY: All “bling” and no theoretical substance….doesn’t know what he’s talking about..except as a not entirely useless voice to just pump the name out there every week….in extremely simple fashion……but you’ll find all sorts of snake oil salesmen much worse……and some absolute geniuses and a few honest ones…..way off on the other end of the spectrum.
But MANY more deeper questions and answers to begin to even frame the MAIN ones, Macro and Micro….in my view:
1. ) MACRO: What is it about an immutable public ledger that can make many simultaneous transactional methods (including the issuer of national currencies/cash!!) more honest for the benefit of entire nations and their citizens…and thus improve civilization? Don’t “believe”. Just keep asking “HOW?”
2) MICRO: If all goes well, how would I…or my children possibly be beneficiaries of this “More Honest Money” future posed as being in reach……in contention and opposed by those that want private central banking to persist …..and by no means yet guaranteed???
Lastly if we are “All One” (and I think Jimmy and I agree with you) and everything is connected/related whence the Clintons/Epstein, Gareth Williams GCHQ in Jimmy’s video’s title???
I suggest Jimmy, as a specialist knows that this subject DOES have world strategic relevance. And that I, as a non-specialist also strongly suspect that that is so, as well.
But you are not yet connected with those thought waves, and don’t yet understand what we’re talking about….or hinting at….or perhaps….even what to even ask next!
Which is true of absolutely everyone, at the start. Most leave it at that. Some keep going, keep asking…… and soon enough, discover some real surprises beneath the surface! That’s all.
Great if you do, no shame if you don’t.
A little attention to TJT and then later some more on The Dark Side of the Empire that Jimmy hints at in his title.
“Why are people in Australia, UK, Canada, rioting like there’s no tomorrow? Because a man they never heard of died thousands of miles away?”
Why was an entire Planet in lock-down for a comparatively minuscule cause?
Every question moves to two stations: one for the causal train, and one for the synchronicity-traffic.
The causal- chains, you yourself ask for, provide with plausibilities for questions with no answers.
Heaven gives answers. See this was the one, when in Germany the lock-down started.
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-master-of-breaks-starts-new-thinking.html
The Floyd-riots accompanied the Mars-Sun-rage- and- vigor-square from the beginning.
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2020/05/mercury-discerner-rules-all-but.html
Sure, constellations reach for their blind followers. We Germans experienced that 90 years ago. Hence, with Carl Jung to speak, if we are such impressible ‘material’ shouldn’t we take the t w o o reasons into countability? Cause and time?
It’s an new/old way of reasoning about our possibilities.
I’m not sure I can answer all the deepest questions asked already in this one.
Some may take til 2024 to get to the bottom of.
But is this old SNL clip of Sleepy Joe
Still…Apropos????
https://youtu.be/y8EQFhj8ca4?t=674
I think so!
Well apparently rather like yourself mundo, I too like to try to do a “root cause analysis” with situations like this.
It’s like me wondering why so many of my missed tennis balls I hit off a brick wall always end up on the 4th tile from the end wall of my living room.
I can ask “is there a force on the tile pulling it, why does it bounce off the front door as it does – is there a mysterious Talmudic conspiracy, and how come it leaves the wall on the same line, what’s going on with the bricks there?”
Acknowledging no evidence I realise I have to go to source, and realise that the angle I hold the racquet at, the dip of my right elbow and shoulder, the exact amount my left side comes around, will cause the ball to Always leave the racquet at a given speed and spin and angle of trajectory. Thus it always hits the same brick corner, thus always moving in a prescribed manner to always hit the same carving on the door, which thus sends it at given speed and angle to end up where it always does. It all comes down to the relationship between me and racquet and has nothing to do with the ball.
The thing is, once the ball has left the racquet, the rest is pre-determined. No-one has to do anything, nor do they. And given than there are no interferences, it must always travel on the same path, with no input from any other force.
I think this is a pattern for a huge number of events in our lives. We have to find what sets things off at the beginning, because often it will be something that appears to having nothing to do with the event we are examining, and that once set off, things will happen as they do, “all on their own” because their track has been set.
As to the energies in the heavens – certainly I agree with you, because we are all one, and we are as much a part of their EM energy as they are of ours, there must be interactions. There is a picture from – I think the Chandra ‘scope – of the heavens, not showing the stars as they appear optically to us, but showing the interconnected network of energies between them of which we are a part,
I have a problem however, always ascribing the events men make happen and take part in solely to that. it’s too easy to say “”well, it’s not my fault, the energies of the heavens made me do it”. We are surely able to make decisions and depart from actions – if we do so at the right time.
I like Shakespeare’s comment here, I think : “the fault dear Brutus lies, not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings” ‘
Perhaps that is a major challenge for us – to learn to read the heavens, and take action to avoid what they would warn us may come if we dont. :-)
I dont really know enough about it to say – would it be my Libra ascendent which makes me keep looking for a balance do you think? :-)
Most interesting observations, even more interesting the reflections of yours.
Reminds me on my reflections pouring hot tea from one can into an other one, lifting the pouring hand/can higher and higher till full stretch and no wow, one drip beyond the narrow edge of the lower can, what an incredible integral-counting precision-work of the seeing/counting/steering/acting system, comprising the weight of the can, the decreasing weight of the tea, deceasing weight and trajectory between a full and a dripping stream, on one hand and the homeostasis of my entire psycho/physio being on the other hand. This is beyond conscious gasp-force, but its performed constantly. What an unconscious permanent marvel, in beings which socially on the other hand, sometimes proceed like bovine herds in rage or panic.
Your root-cause-observations and mine are of the kind of reflections, which are the door back into wisdom, which is a kind of adult childdom.
The same is it with my reflections about the synchronicities in the Sun-cosmos, of Sun’s family with Earth’s gyrations. Tha basic concept of astrology is that anything on Earth, the ‘sensible planet’ of the Sun-family, since about 4,5 Billion years, has a history from the beginning, where the ‘math’ of the rhythmical interrelations between Star, Planets and Trabants has been ‘informed’ into anything born on Earth, what other math else?
To me, doing the ‘mundo’-work, being each week in the fog of unconsciousness is given, to trust to the positions of the heavenly family and to formulate their positions projected from the zodiac on the presumed ‘astrological man’, ‘adam secundus’ or Anthropos, living in us in our unconscious perfection.
‘Mundo – work’ is mostly done for generations, still not born. Your reflections are of the same quality.
Cheers
Looking at the USA natal chart ( Sagittarius rising) and noting that Mars moves into Aries in the same few days that Jupiter conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn at the end of this month and As the Patriotic holiday ( 4th of July) looms in 8th House of Cancer, the 5th house children of America, alienated and mislead, are going to attempt to trash it.( Mars, irritably retrograde with a weakened transiting Jupiter passing over a natal 12th house (scorpio) ruler Pluto currently in Capricorn.) …the Pied Pipers (Pluto-hidden enemies) are out and about and mars just wants to romp and play or break things or throw tantrums. I really do not see external war, but I see internal war made worse by a lack of leadership in general. The Truckers ( 3rd house Aquarian moon as they move the food of the country and constituting the only labor union left with any real power) have proposed not to delivery to any city which has no police force.
Ah, self sabotage on the part of the young and then in the response of the elders. The Black Lies Matters vision for the future does not incorporate the good in the inheritance handed them ( 8th house) and, this, the elders will not abide. When the SHTF, we will see just how folks align and what talk they actually walk. Farrakhan has told all black people not to take Bill Gate’s or any white man’s vaccine. Alex Jones is broadcasting this. ( after being careful to say that he does not agree with all his positions i.e. on Israel/Jews)
Each Life Matters.
Tera,
Pamela and you met my idea since I entered the vineyard 2014, for commonly to discern the possibilities, the heavenly constellations constellating us. By giving us an idea of intense resonances within our unconsciousness, we might become able not only to do things, but to do it consciously, or to withstand consciously a drive to do things. We got to study the marvel, we and our neighbor are, to become the adult children of Sun’s cosmos.
I co-commented your reading:

There is some protesting in Canada, a bit hypocritical though, as there is far more systemic racism against N.A. First Nations, so just curious if it was someone in full Native regalia leading the Canadian BLM ‘protests’? As for riots in Canada, usually after a sports game, but in memory of some guy who died somewhere else……….har har, only riot in montreal, they are French, always looking for an excuse, nuff said.
Mundo you ask a ‘five eye’ why? The answer, is in the five-eye, ‘bought and paid’ for, by the ‘stars’, no, not yours, the two legged ones………..lol.
There are some race riots in Canada every few years that never make the news due to cultual diversity and all it’s trappings. Dartmouth, to be exact. If you ever go to Hailfax you will notice a lack of ‘black people’ they were forced to move to the low track on the Dartmouth side of the harbour.
I’ll write about experiencing Canadian racism first hand…………45 years later, not much has changed.
The Manufactured Crisis of Police Racism
JARED TAYLOR • JUNE 5, 2020 •The Manufactured Crisis of Police Racism
https://www.amren.com/features/2020/06/the-manufactured-crisis-of-police-racism/
This article is an expanded version of the script for this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPAeYpl3Vhc&feature=youtu.be&bpctr=1592174314
Is there a spiritual solution?
We can all attest that the global pandemic created a crisis that is unprecedented in modern history. The riots (aka “protests”) certainly didn’t help the situation. What’s next? What we do know is that the most vulnerable, of the population, the elderly and immune compromised, have been affected the most by this virus. A virus that has been in circulation forever but only harmful till now. What we also know is that the Wuhan lab has not been shut down, unlike Fort Detrick, considering the suspicion and accusations that it’s the origin. Right now things are slightly stabilized yet feels like the calm before storm. We are already being propped that there a good chance is second wave coming in the fall. Whatever small and medium sized businesses survived the last 3 months without any revenue might not be able to withstand a repeat just a few months later. If this virus is man-made and intentionally released into the atmosphere as described by a noble prize winner, then what’s going to stop them from creating an even more potent strain. Dr Montagnier explained that the common Corona virus was tampered with by introducing a small segment of HIV into the Covid RNS sequence. He also stated since I nature doesn’t like anything synthetic, the virus will be rendered less potent once it mutates into a weaker strand. The reason why the new strand will be less dangerous is because the HIV part will become smaller and smaller every time a mutation occurs.

Now there are other scientists who still preach the mainstream narrative- no surprise there. The website for the Davos WEC has announced their upcoming conference and unveiled their agenda, called the “Great Reset”. It emphasizes that certain measures must be ensured for sustainable development as a consequence from the upcoming collapse of the industrial economy. Those with a keen eye will “read between the lines” to come to the conclusion that this is will not be to their liking to say the least. William Engdhal sounds the alarm in his recent article. I encourage everyone to read since very few independent writers are bringing this into the open.
http://williamengdahl.com/englishNEO9Jun2020.php
So getting back to the rhetorical question I wrote as the first sentence. If this is truly a pivot point in human history because the majority of us may face extinction so that the 1% may survive then wouldn’t we need a solution that that goes beyond anything that we can call ordinary. Granted this is a concept that none of us want to even contemplate but if things progressively turn for the worst, we will get desperate and entertain unorthodox ideas. The one that crossed my mind is that if we can access and unlock the esoteric capabilities of our consciousness then we might have a chance. Yes, I’m aware that it sounds a bit insane, but aren’t we here to feel free and safe
to express ourselves? Now whether that’s even an option is beyond me or anyone for that matter. How, when, and what, if even possible, no one knows. Yet desperate times call for desperate measures goes the quote. As a disclaimer, I’m not religious nor have ever been. However I’m a bit inquisitive in spiritually and how undeniably it complements with quantum mechanics.
It appears that some small group of people do use Bitcoin, including this site,for donations.By Bitcoin i mean privately controlled crypto currencies not Bitcoin alone.
Questions
1.
Does this use of Bitcoin include it being traded for goods services and or currency,as in euros dollars yuan rouble etc.Is the aim to replace hard cash,precious metals?
2
An enormous amount of electrical energy is needed to mine these hyper codes that constitute the Bitcoin.This usage is beneficial for utility companies and super computer component manufacturers storage systems and the network gear necessary for all of this.Qui Bono.
3
Is Bitcoin being used to avoid banking systems?
Given the above possible answers it looks like also being a “softener upper”for the obviously,planned for many years digital currencies.
In any case all our banking ,apart from hard cash,has been for a long time been a ledger entry.
I considered Bitcoin mining at one time,until I understood that first one would need expensive super fast gaming chips,connections and machines.A lot of cash resources invested before anything is produced.
The more I consider this and read what you guys and gals write here the more I become sceptical by leaps and bounds.
Ultimately if we accept baubles as currency we could still happily trade and exist peacefully as long as acceptance is present and respected.
Trouble is the current widely accepted “baubles “ (international trading currencies)are dishonest and if not dishonest are manipulated by entities who only have self interest and worse.
So it seems that inner peace and honesty is the real currency as harmony can exist in such an environment.
Being peaceful inside is a useful vantage point in all of the increasing madness around us.
TJT ..I am interested in what Allen has to say also….but IF you were commenting on my comment or Pamela’s reply…..I cover more on the subject in a reply to her reply ….further up the page.
But I wanted to give you some feedback too.
Q 1 Does this use of Bitcoin include it being traded for goods services and or currency,as in euros dollars yuan rouble etc.Is the aim to replace hard cash,precious metals?
Answer: I don’t see it in absolutist “Either/Or” terms…but at least for the foreseeable decades, I see it as co-existing with national currencies, precious metals and so forth. Its distinct difference, however, is that it is linked (or could be, rather….many versions screw this potential up partially or completely either through ignorance or design) to the “New Oil” of the Digital Age we are already in and presently communicating over technologies of: DATA….Information We are still in the very earliest days. Other than some Etherium I sent Saker a couple years ago as a donation….and gifts to some people (some accepted…some refused!) I have yet to buy anything with it other than a micropayment for a “twetch” which is sort of like a tweet….except it supposedly can’t be censored.
There are Techies that get paid in some form of Bitcoin and spend it ..as a messainic mission……but short of much wider adoption….. for 99.99% of the people in the world it is not likely to be widely used for coffee or groceries for quite a few years.
Business use is likely to precede consumer use, in my opinion. And consumer use, as things presently stand is likely to come first in Mainland China…where huge portions of the population are already accustomed to cell phones as a tool of digital payments….but in the national currency first. Any form of Bitcoin?? Maybe not for years!
One exception (ask me how!) South Africa. But more for guest workers sending remittances to relatives and avoiding large fees…..than buying things in South Africa. They’ll still use the Rand for that!
And unless you live in Zinbambwe 90% of people nearly everywhere don’t care so much about the non-inflatable algorythmic fixed quantity of any version of Bitcoin: They earn it and spend it faster than most of their governments can cheapen its value by inflation.
Q2 An enormous amount of electrical energy is needed to mine these hyper codes that constitute the Bitcoin….etc
Ans #2 That’s a misconception. All in all because of the fixation on the “coin” or money part of Bitcoin to the non-Awareness of the “Bit” or Data Storage capacity. It’s way, way, more efficient for that storage than present tech and is permanent and immutable in unbelievable amounts for 4-5 centuries to come. Data centers will be replaced by Blockchain…unless it is killed early in this decade. If it makes it to 2025 the benefits will come…is my understanding…whether people know they are using it…or not.
Q 3 Is Bitcoin being used to avoid banking systems?
Ans 3: Some believe so and think they have “a bank” in their cell phone. They may have a payment system, an alternative to credit cards cash or checks..eventually useable …for such.but they are MOST unlikely to ever get …OR give a Bticoin (of whatever version!) mortgage, car loan or business loan through that so-called “bank” in thier pocket. It’s mostly an ideological fantasy, in my opinion. What is not a fantasy is that One Blockchain (like One Internet…and that can improve beyond the present DARPA Version…so more sovereign…more decentralized….less in the hands of control freaks) could put private central banks out of business by eliminating the sleight of hand they practice through multiple entry book keeping….and not being audited
But you don’t want to put community banks, savings and loans and commercial banks out of business. They have a function: To mitigate the risk in allocating capital to businesses that need to borrow capital for sound growth.
Stick around TJT.
We’re just scratching the surface. But we are past the days when you can mine bitcoin on your laptop! LOL.
Bro 93
Thanks for that answering of questions
I will stick around …have been here a good while,mostly taking it all in and commenting if I feel can add or move the thread on.
” if we can access and unlock the esoteric capabilities of our consciousness then we might have a chance.”
I am in your camp on this. Like yourself, I cannot lay out a specific technique or religious discipline that would guarantee liberation, but as free and sovereign individuals we can identify the thoughts (i.e.) states of consciousness in which we do feel inwardly both safe and free- free from fear and beliefs that that hamper an intrinsic knowing of ourselves. Many dissidents throughout history faced situations in which the only ground they had to stand on was their own inner conviction of self. Is it not the forsaking of our conviction that leads to oppression and repression as we compromise ourselves over to outer authority of either state or religion?

I have been reading your comments with the greatest of interest, that really only echo the human dilemma now facing all of us, and are going nowhere. That is perfectly clear to anyone with a watchful mind and open eyes.
I think about what you write, as I do also of course with other commentators, content of articles, and learn from your input, but am heartened and encouraged that you address some of the questions I have, providing insight from a very different, and directly expressed perspective. Thank you.
Allen,
I have done a copy and paste of your comment regarding a spiritual solution and emailed it to many of my friends as it resonates so well with me. And I know it will with them as well. I also might bring to your attention that Catherine Austin Fitts mentions that humanity is in a spiritual war (as does Freddy Silva and others), not just the wars we are being reported about. So your comment resonates to many that you may be unaware of. Please be assured of my appreciation of your comment regarding the spiritual resolution, not necessarily relating to a religion, and I am sure others that are quiet would agree. It seems that the “sorry bunch” get more airtime which makes your written perspective so much more powerful. More needs to be done to entice others to a new paradigm. Keep up the good work, well done.
Blessings,
Clam Chowder
Thanks for the compliment. I guess it’s work in progress. I must confess this is quite a lot to digest.

Story:
A lone soldier rides over the World War II front line. They shoot at him from the right, they shoot at him
from the left, but he is not hit by the bullets. He escapes from his battalion, whose pay he stole and hid
in hand grenades. The cunning corporal finds an abandoned mansion and quickly makes a team from
refugees who come here. If necessary, they disguise themselves as arrow cruiser guys, if necessary,
as pro-Russian communists. They do everything they can to survive the war.

Interesting video made recently on Peaceful separation vs civil war in the USA. No one especially the so-called right likes the dictatorship of the 1% in this country and everyone is watching their pension’s buying power shrink, small businesses eliminated in favor of multinational BLM-supporting businesses of the 1% and Wall Street profiting as the workers of America ( right and left) remain locked down. The right also dislikes the foreign wars which are a drain on this economy and serve no one–many are ready to jump ship on Trump and would do so if there were a competent centrist/populist. People’s ideas are changing very, very rapidly these days. It’s the religious right which clings most fervently to Trump and his Zionism.
Here is the video–maybe a bit simplistic. But the left is not into live and let live: they want capitulation under the techie-elitist rule of the Democrat party which has never cared about Black people ( maybe for awhile under FDR when the labor movement was active in the 1930’s and 1940’s).

I get the point. Blue starves in the cities and the gangs rape and kill and steal food from the unarmed liberals while the police get outta town to protect their own…meanwhile Red Does Just Fine, Thank You…scores or hundreds of miles inland.
The most interesting part was at 36 minutes where it discusses Russia aiding the RED (anti-communist though lol) Resistance to the Blue Libtards and Deep Staters.
I kinda doubt it, but richly imagining imagining such new and creative “game theory” scenarios IS fun!
There are some truths, but overall what I saw kinda strikes me as the product of two many war strategy video games.
I think the reality is that its mainly a Mind War, a propaganda war…..and a plurality of the Blue Liberal Suckers will soon enough sue for peace……and say,
“Gee! I didn’t know my favorite Hollywood actors were adrenochrome addicts, pedophiles and CIA agents! Anderson Cooper never informed me!” LOL.
…and decide they’d rather be Alive and Red than Blue and Dead…not at the hands of Reds …but of criminals…….and by 2024-25 it is possible that all this tension and division will pass. A 2020 Red Landslide is quite possible. I’d say probable on the current trajectory.
The only way I see the thing getting really kinetic with fire fights and skirmishes in all 50 states…is if Orange Man Bad ….is assassinated and Nancy Pelosi or Pence orders the confiscation of all privately owned firearms
Then it needs to be understood that the rank and file and many officers in government armed troops and other services…are majority Red…not Blue. Especially retired or honorably discharged veterans that saw what a crock of shit the wars the globalists and neocons sent them to turned out to be…..and a great many would desert, I figure…. before they go house to house…..seizing civilian firearms of people just like themselves….. like they’re in Iraq again.
They are not storm trooper automatons out of a Star Wars movie. Many can learn and have learned….the hard way…and turned off their TVs years ago.
And that’s about all Blue has left…a hated MSM…remaining Deep State judges and other government officials……brainwashed urban hipster zombies ..the Gender Confused…….Trillions in Funny Money…and .the FANGS (Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google) that should soon be busted up with anti-trust laws.
I remain optimistic, surveying the correlation of forces domestically…and the current trajectory of things.
Tense, sure. But nothing to panic about, yet. Deep State desperation, in fact.
Drip, drip , drip. Declassification of their sedition and treason…..
The following article claims there are two distinct versions of Covid-19, the Wuhan strain and the Euro-American strain.
http://www.preearth.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1184
It seems the Euro-American strain of Covid-19 had already spread worldwide long before Wuhan.
The Wuhan strain (just like SARS before it) is dangerous, especially to the elderly, but not particularly contagious, whereas, the Euro-American strain is quite contagious, but not particularly dangerous. If classified, the Euro-American strain would be classed as another strain of the common cold. Because it wasn’t dangerous the Euro-American strain spread worldwide without being noticed.
But, if the Wuhan strain is not particularly contagious, then how did it spread so rapidly in Wuhan? Simple, in Wuhan the virus was deliberately spread. It did not appreciably spread to the rest of China simply because it was not particularly contagious. Remember, that at the height of the uncontrolled epidemic (Jan. 10 to Jan. 23) five million people from Wuhan traveled to all parts of China (for the New Year celebrations on Jan. 24) but did not appreciably spread the virus.
There is this intriguing line:
There is the intriguing possibility that exposure to the Euro-American strain of Covid-19 may endow resistance to the more dangerous Wuhan strain. That this may indeed be the case is suggested by the large number of people that appear to be naturally resistant to the virus. These people being resistant due to their previous exposure to the Euro-American strain.
Of course, whether or not this is the case is very important knowledge in deciding how to proceed.
If the dangerous strain is not particularly contagious, then it is much, much easier to control.
Patrick,
covid-19 kills people of median age 80.5 with 3 comorbid conditions:
https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-COVID-2019_17_marzo-v2.pdf
Epidemiologist John Ioannidis points out that (https://www.ebm-netzwerk.de/en/publications/covid-19):
“coronaviruses that are the typical causative agents of common colds are responsible for millions of infections every year and that these common colds are fatal in up to 8% of older, multimorbid people with complications such as pneumonia [18,19]. The only difference to SARS-CoV-2 may be that we have never measured coronavirus infection rates in the population.”
However, we do now know that the Infection Fatality Rate is 0.37%:
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-team-covid-infection-fatality.html
In summarry, covid-19 is killing people who would, mostly, have died anyway.
Rather than wondering about the medical storm in a teacup, we’d do better researching where to buy a pitchfork and how to sharpen it to a very fine point:

I cant see who is a person
I think that person is you and me and all of us who look behind superficial appearances into the depths and truth of our own being
Many Russian cities are cancelling the victory parade because – covid-19.
https://www.rt.com/russia/491870-cities-cancel-victory-parades/
But the most interesting to me, is that this report is the first one that I saw where Dmitry Peskov is public again.
Amarynth and all,
Please give more attention to the comments of Allan Udall, he gets it…Right to the core of the matter.
Seems he is ignored, while all in this ‘Agora’ discuss only the consequences, not the true reasons of this situation in our world…
Yes, our Saker wrote an article about the dismembering of the USA society, but he has not recognized the bigger implication of all what is going on, USA is just a little part of the puzzle. USA and EU societies is now a test case, sorry to tell you, the changes are coming to all of us still living here in this world. The outbursts of colored insurrection are springing all over…Sounds familiar.
I am disappointed about myopic views of all of us people. I talked to all my friends in USA, UK- they really do not understand anything, some think it is a sexy revolution and for a noble case, some have no idea and snort about it all..
I am disappointed in all of the human kind. Stupid.
You have mentioned the cancellation in Russia, I wonder why they did it… Why are the ‘rituals of love’ cancelled all over this world?
Damnatio memoriae?
Why are at the same time the destructive manifestations allowed with the govt. forces stepping down?
Who are they obeying and for what, after all they are the servants of the 1%.
If you ever thought that your police who you are paying for via your taxes, is there to protect you- you are all the idiots…You have been played.
Sorry…
Warning: If the unholy alliance of Tech/multinationals/Demonrats ( deep state) seizes power in the USA….it will only be days before trouble is stirred up in Russia. And you can take this to the bank.
They want the riches of Russia—even the Russians today do not realize how much undiscovered riches are in and on their land. especially more will be revealed in the Arctic.
@ azra
Interesting that you are disappointed with the myopic views of all the people. I have noticed this for many years.
Not all the people though are lacking in imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight. There are some that think and reason objectively; but very few. That is why I have few friends. Many are not worth conversing with.
The majority like drama; a waste of time and energy.
What I see happening is the minds of the majority of people going insane literally. This is what happens when people reject God. The Bible is clear about this.This phenomena is taking down governments with it. And with it western civilization is going down too.
There is no peace of mind for these people. We are just witnessing the beginning of the great reckoning.
To the proud Bird of Thunder I write…
Like an Imperial eagle? That is the picture I got from your name…
I was just now watching one circling the sky high above the island down in the sea in front of my little home, there are some of them who winter over, magnificent big brethren of the Saker, the wingspan 2 meters and more….
They screech and they are so powerful…So high up, unbelievably beautiful…
Sorry I did not reply to your kind comment in due time. It is not deemed polite in the cyber world of this electronic ‘agora’, I know…
But I needed to take a break as I was overwhelmed with feeling of huge sadness for all of us the planet idiots in the world who do not understand anything.
I totally agree with you on the religion and the question of love, although I am now the convinced socialist and agnostic.
I came to understand long ago in my life that all which matters is love compassion and empathy…
See, the ‘official’ religions, all the different beliefs in the world, the systems lack this final understanding of love and connection, we are being divided on purpose…
Thank you for your kind words…
I feel so sad and I feel that the terrible times are coming for all of us…
I liked this article, maybe it will interest you, I agree with most of it:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55235.htm
The night is coming in my parts of the world, the sky is leaden and the sea looks like the frozen metal…
There are no people on the roads of an old old medieval city… Such a strange atmosphere…
Thank you…
azra, anon, Thunderbird, others .. you know something, I simply posted a piece where I was happy to see Dmitry Peskov back on the job – and some Russian cities will not have a victory parade because of Covid. How this could end up in such a sackcloth and ashes routine, I cannot even know.
Here is something for you .. reasonable and thinking people understand that the real battle here is the one against ‘powers and principalities’ and part of that is our responsibility. Our biggest responsibility though is doing what we need to do, the right things, here on earth, because this is where we are, or were placed. So, I read your sackcloth and ashes posts where people talk about the spiritual battle and how wrong everyone else is, and I see no joy. Where is your joy?
Nobody knows anything, you say? Yes, I also lost friends during basically the Trump period – friends from both sides. But, were they friends? or were they hangers on spouting today’s truth and not able to hold onto a bigger truth? I refuse the sackcloth and ashes routine where one cannot even make a cup of tea without weeping and wailing and gnashing teeth about something or the other. (Mostly about the other).
Find some joy. I would say if you do not have a joy in your faith, then what is the faith there for? And this heavy blame to everyone else but oneself is a little over the top.
amarynth
Pointing out objective truth is not a sackcloth and ashes routine providing one is working on oneself and helping others who are willing to be helped. Don’t know what you mean by not having joy in one’s faith? Faith in what? I hope you don’t mean religion as religion has failed man of today. My joy is in the freedom of my consciousness and the strength it gives me in getting through this life.
I am sad that many people don’t develop their consciousness, become self regulating individuals and correctly use their God given Will power to take control of their lives. When they fail in this dark powers take over and restrict physical freedom that affects all of us including myself. In my over seven decades of life I have witnessed many of my freedoms lost due to the majority who fail in their duty to become individuals so they fall into slavery to principalities.
Pointing out the failures of people to do their duty to God is not negativity. All the prophets in the old testament were killed by telling the people their failures and urging them to repent. People don’t like hearing the truth about themselves. Bad people not taken to task by others who see and don’t speak up is the reason the US is now failing.
Many people live in the pursuit of happiness as an end only to find in the end unhappiness. I believe God did not put us on this earth for the pursuit of happiness. We were put on this earth to develop our consciousness to higher levels, become individuals and correctly use our Will for the glory of God. Joy comes to us as we perfect ourselves in service to others.Happiness as an aim is egotistical. It is really service to self.
I do not blame others. How can I as I am ignorant myself of many truths. Pointing out ignorance is not blaming. Guilt points out blame as blame is the flip side of guilt.
Good man yourself Thunderbird, totalitarianism whether of the state or the ego, knows no joy or humor.
Amarynth, if one takes the words of others, whether on here or from the Gospel, as in the fight against principalities, (“for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6-12),and uses them merely to state the obvious,i.e. that we are here on earth to be responsible, to be ourselves and do our best, etc, etc, sure we are, but that doesn’t seem quite enough to have got us quite where we all need to be, so far …
There’s been real humor and joy at this Cafe over time, fun in poems, jokes and all kinds of ways, but one can’t fake humor. Let me repeat that : one can’t fake humor. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t gel with totalitarianism….
Just want to post this song, it speaks to the conversation above. A personal note form a man who suffered within and without. I’d go as far as to say his coverage of mental issues, pain, love, suffering, life, rise far above the music it is set to. I discovered his music/lyrics kind of late, while I had heard of the band, but one day when I turned on the car radio a guitar riff (Like a Stone) took me to a place I hadn’t been since Jimmy, Dazed and Confused, walked up The Stairway to Heaven. I mentioned the guitar player to my kid who said, ‘he’s not a guitar player, he’s a sound engineer, he just uses the guitar to make the sounds.’ I personally don’t find RATM my cup of tea, but when they teamed up with Chris…………….well, there really is noting out there like it, nor ever will be again. Enjoy.

I want to thank you for this, Sean.
Thank you for the present.
Being oldish and liking oldish things, like true heavy metal, the queen, pink floyd admirer since seventies and having collected all their LPs with love ( as a 16 years old traveled to London with my mother and bought 2 which I did not have, what a thrill it was to myself), this song you posted was a sort of revelation to me, as I do not listen to music since a long while.
Except classical…
But I was entranced by this and listened for 5 times at least…
The lyrics are beautiful, there is hope:
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
And even when you’ve paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
I really was touched.
Thank you so much.
People are so deep into fighting that they’re fighting against joy. Against finding some small thing that touches and lifts the heart. Like what happened when I saw Peskov back in work. Just small but good.
Humor and joy is not the same thing. Pointing out how ignorant others are, is well, I’m not going to say what it is. We have too many doing that on the site anyways and it is always the nebulous. To me, saying things like “blame is the flip side of guilt” or it is “egotistical to be happy” is just trite and bland attempts at social programming and meme-like engineering masquerading as ‘truth’.
We actually are here in this place because this is what we allowed or could not overcome.
But it is a little joy that Peskov is visibly back at work and it is sad that Covid has hit Russia to the extent they they cannot in good conscience abandon their anti-Covid measures in order to have a massive and joyful Victory Parade.
“that Covid has hit Russia”
Have you statistical sources / medical studies to say that the Russian Infection Fatality Rate is any worse than that in Germany (0.37%) or that their median age of death is not 80.5 and 2.7 comorbid conditions (as in Italy)?
Why should I have those stats or even pay attention to them? Or are you just making a statement to tell us which coolaid you’ve swallowed? They are as reliable as the bunches other sets of stats floating around. The issue has been politicized. So, if you want to pick a set that you’re going to hang your head on, I won’t be doing that because I like my head still at this stage of the game.
For me, I will wait for approximately a year – another winter season on both hemispheres – and then see what stats are available that are reliable and measures all the variables including the longer term damage to younger people and uses the correct statistical methodologies to present an accurate epidemiological picture. You can be sure that for myself, I’ll even check the methodologies used, because for stats, there are many ways to present data and to test if the data actually measures what it is intended to measure, and if it does so consistently. And even then, I would want to have the information as to type of virus, because we know now that this virus does different things to different peoples, excess death within age groups and a few more variables (for example, where were the older people, what was the level of care, what was used to treat them, or were they left to die as is happening in Sweden for one only or did medics receive massive numbers of DNR instructions or was oxygen forced into their lungs via vents?). I would at least want to see in such a set of statistics, what the real condition was of any dead with autopsy and what viral signatures were found. Russia states that they autopsy all Covid patients and I have no reason to doubt that statement.
These attempts at changing minds via early statistics are purely for crowd control and mind buggery. If you want to play there feel free, but be sure, I don’t. If you say it is OK if our aged population dies off by deliberate infection, feel free, but for me, it is not OK. If you want to fall for – its only the oldies – feel free, but bear in mind if there is an outbreak of stupid shingles, more oldies will be affected – so, that statement, it is only the oldies, is by itself propagandic because .. duh!
What we are busy with, is to still in the alternative health field (and this is huge), work on remediation and to get those oldies to survive. I have real good stats but small groups as to how alternative Chinese medicine is effective. And for us personally, I’m content so far with our anti-viral and immune strengthening methods.
What is a ‘co-morbid’ condition? A broken toe, a headache, three previous heart attacks, a stroke, or what?. Your stats that you are presenting here are in my view useless because they do nothing for healing and does not detail co-morbidities. Epidemiological studies that are done properly at least do something for healing. I have not yet found such studies as it is too early.
“Why should I have those stats or even pay attention to them?”
Here’s what Dr Lucy Okell (of Imperial College) said on this issue on 11th February:
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/195217/coronavirus-fatality-rate-estimated-imperial-scientists/
“It’s critical to work out the chance of dying from COVID-19 for those who become infected, and who is most at risk, but our estimates remain uncertain at the current time. Most cases reported so far remain in hospital or quarantine and we don’t yet know how many will eventually recover or die. Deaths tend to be reported promptly but there is less information on how many people have recovered from the virus. We are likely to be missing cases who have milder symptoms but there is limited information on how common these are. However, our team has tried to account for these factors, and we are continuing to compile as much data as possible on the outbreak to reduce uncertainty about this critical issue.”
The (infamous) Professor Neil Ferguson continued with:
“Understanding the likely impact of the unfolding pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus on human health will be critical to informing the decisions made by countries in the coming weeks in how best to respond to this new public health threat.”
Professor Azra Ghani, added:
“Assessing the severity of an emerging disease is always challenging. This is because we generally detect those that are most ill first and only later get a sense of how many people may have milder disease or carry the infection but not have any symptoms. However, by piecing together data from various sources – including from the most severe cases reported from China, from international travellers to Wuhan who return infected, and from testing undertaken on repatriated citizens – and by correcting for delays in reporting, we estimate a fatality ratio for all infections of approximately 1%.”
Professor Steven Riley goes on to say:
“As more data becomes available, we are able to estimate the severity of this novel coronavirus. Using a variety of data, and correcting for known biases, we estimate that approximately 1 percent of people infected with this virus will die as a result of that infection. Although this is lower than diseases such as Ebola or SARS, it is considerably higher than seasonal influenza.”
Since the Infection Fatality Rate is, in fact, a critical piece of information it is peculiar that the only in depth study to accurately estimate what it is was carried out by the Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck and Prof. Dr. Gunther Hartmann from the University of Bonn (https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-team-covid-infection-fatality.html).
Far from being considerably higher than for seasonal influenza, they found the Gangelt IFR to be 0.37%. Rather than the Ferguson team forecast chance of 1 in 100 we find the chance of death closer to 1 in 250.
“What is a ‘co-morbid’ condition?”
The co-morbid conditions of 2003 Italian deaths were recorded (by the ISS https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-COVID-2019_17_marzo-v2.pdf) against a sub sample of 355 casers as:
Disease Name Number affected %affected
Ischemic heart disease 117 33.0
Atrial fibrillation 87 24.5
Stroke 34 9.6
Hypertension 270 76.1
Diabetes mellitus 126 35.5
Dementia 24 6.8
COPD 47 13.2
Active cancer in the past 5 years 72 20.3
Chronic liver disease 11 3.1
Chronic renal failure 64 18.0
Number of pathologies
0 pathologies 3 0.8
1 pathologies 89 25.1
2 pathologies 91 25.6
3 or more pathologies 172 48
The mean age of death was 79.5 while the median was 80.5.
So, if you were head of Russian Coronavirus response policy and knew that it closely reflected the German IFR and the age distribution / co-morbid figures from Italy, would you still recommend cancelling the Victory day parades (rather than isolating a bunch of folk who would most likely die if they caught a common cold)?
Being content with anti-viral and immune strengthening methods is of little benefit to the hordes of Russians (German, Italians, Brits…) putting off cancer treatment because they have been made to have more fear of the virus (not to mention the jobless who will be forced to eat sub grade food to put off starvation).
Amarynth,
You have completely misunderstood what I wrote about, and guess you did not get Allen Udalls posts as well..
I am sorry, but you have to read more carefully into what other people here write.
I had to check this expression ‘the sackcloth’ as I am not a natural speaker and this is what I found:
‘Definition of don/wear sackcloth and ashes
to publicly express or show sorrow or regret for having done something wrong He should be forced to wear sackcloth and ashes and apologize for his lies.’
Well, this is absolutely not what I was trying to convey in my painfully and patiently written little posts, and I definitely am not a genuflecting and ash-sprinkling-all over-myself …I have no inclination to self immolate.
I have a life and love in my life since a long time.
I was trying to explain that the change is coming to all of us in the world and it will not be kind to many, as we will be become superfluous after the 4th industrial revolution/culling/ genocide/eugenics.
It is agenda much bigger that USA, and the ego of the USA…
The Saker has got it right only in his first article when he realized it is not only about the race, institutional cruelty, Trump…
I carefully read again all his trilogy on this today, and can not understand why he had reverted to the parochial and local cause for it all (yes he mentioned supranational corps in his latest articles but quickly reverted to the cause of puppet Trump again).
Trump is not important, and here we have the expat Auslander in Crimea drumming on the same melody, all about Trump.
Though I think his life story is beautiful, together with the dogs, kind regards to Auslander the expat.
Can you not understand that USA is just a small part of our world? Although being a stupid thug and servant of an Empire which Saker speaks about, as a stupid thug it has brought a lot of the misery to all of us. Now, the aggression is turning inwards to the pillage and rape of the natives.
This is much bigger than USA, it is the reset of the planet economy.
I find that the ego is difficult, I find that USA suffers from a huge case of Ego.
I find that even here it is difficult to discuss things with trust, love, openness as egos step in the way.
Do not do this amarynth, listen very carefully to all of us in this agora of the truth. We are trying very hard to contribute.
You are not the master, just a conduit..
Thank you for giving us this forum.
It is one of the few remaining ones still upholding the truth and respect, however I refuse to become a stupid groupie hailing everything here as the supreme truth…
With love, and definitely am not wearing the bloody sack cloth…
I am wearing my pajamas and enjoying my life at the moment…
Good night
Sorry if there was a misunderstanding of the term ‘sackcloth and ashes’. It is old Christian biblical term mostly used as ‘in despair’, wailing and crying’. Good! we should not be wearing that at all.
and, I don’t live in the USA and I am not an US American and I understand pretty clearly what is coming in terms of economic problems in as much as anyone can actually get it. We are in strange territory.
For you amarynth and all the truth seekers here, thank you for everything.
Thank you for the agora…

Fade, fade bright sun
Fade, darken all.
And you, bright moon
Fade, drown all.
Black forest, dark sister
Let us both grieve,
You for your leaves, dear sister
Me for my youth.
Your leaves, dear sister
They will return.
My youth, however, sister,
will never return.

Thank you, dear Dimitar,
This song brings tears to my eyes for so many reasons, ah dearest Toshe, the voice, the soul behind it….
The beauty gone, as many other…
a love that turns

For you Amarynth as the thanks for this post, as you explained to myself we can transverse the silly little ‘borders’, I am so tired of them positioned all over this world.
Tired of misunderstandings.
Thank you.

I also read and commented on the latest Saker article. Agree there are some newer, more pertinent points but then he resorts back to his previous conclusion. I took to it to the next level in my commentary. Scroll down- it’s under my first name. Have a great night. 🙏
Like an old and meticulous nerd, now scrolling through the commentaries to be sure I did not miss anything.
I can not reply to Bro/ther, as I do not understand his stream of the consciousnesses.
My vocabulary is not enough.
I was so touched by the song seantheleperchaun has sent in this cafe as a present.
The music is an instrument of the communication and love.
Because it plays with the strings of our hearts.
The favorite sentence for me in one of my favorite novels of all the time, The English patient: ‘ Because the heart is an organ of fire’.
This is for you and all:

Engdahl who I respect hugely has written an article which is like the copypaste of your comments here, exactly on the line with all you are saying…

With a similar amount of opposition as in the US (i.e. none) Putin and Peskov are probably replicating the conversation between Trump and Biden outlined by John Hagan here /a-view-from-afar/#comment-819173.

That will mean the elimination of millions of superfluousAmericansRussians by suicide, alcoholism and drug addiction.

A kind memory undimmed by time
1968 two American students
Sofia, Bulgaria
in a Worker’s Cafe
At noon.
long tables lined with
men eating dinner
they slid, made room
Our bowls arrived
we smiled
and were handed
spoons.
We ate what they ate
tried to chat
said amerikanski
and left it at that.
we waved
goodbye our
hearts filled
more
than our bellies
I fear now
such a cafe
exists only
in movies
on tellys .
Aah, I enjoyed this thanks Terranam13. True story?
I have such a cafe in my memory. Up north side of Mexico, traveling through. Dusty rural area. The little cafe looked uncared for on the outside and not much was spent on the decor, but it was crispy clean and even the broken tiles were shiny on the inside. Bashed up old farmer’s pickup trucks and a few horses on the outside. Long tables, plastic flowers here and there and a mix of Mexican cowboys and field workers, having a good laugh at a certain Maria, who evidently slipped in a muddy spot. Local filling food – no menu, what the cook cooked for the day – soup with avocado piled up, chicken, rice and beans, pico de gallo and piles of tortillas. Weaker coffee spiked with something that smelt like cinnamon. When we left, on our way, I think I met the spirit of the dead cuarandero of the area. I think he took a ride with us for a bit, until the end of his ‘territory’. So, do I have an overactive imagination, or was he real spririt? Friendly fellow – continuing the conversation of the farming in the area :-)
This one must still exist, as nothing else has changed.
Amarynth,:Yes, the Cafe in Sofia experience is so true that I felt deep grief after writing the poem, grief for an easy world of the past and for a trip that later went so wrong in Turkey…..but that is for another poem maybe, sometime.
As for joy, no one wants to joke…I try, really I do, but everyone is scared and cowed because the 1% is lining up behind the head choppers, eye gougers, and tongue loppers. Maybe not where you live…but the intimidation is strong here in Looneylandia. No one is laughing. no one. And what humor there is …is macabre as in Alex Jones eating his neighbor in food shortages?
I may have to re-read, Dostoyevsky’s The Possessed. At least selective sections…I can handle some of his dark humor… the cell meeting and demon Pyotr trying to maneuver Kirillov into the precise moment he needs to have the suicide take place while Kirillov toys with him about the details of writing the note, doing the deed etc.
Just was re reading Pyotr-demon’s “I’m a crook, not a socialist” conversation with Stavrogen who is beginning to start thinking about someone other than himself all the time. It’s in the Ivan the Tsarevich section which I never did quite understand until I knew the historical reference.
Yes, there are insane people who have just waited for this moment in time. Someone is running around LA hanging Black men on trees. It reminds me of the story in N. Ireland when the police were puzzled about murders which neither the IRA nor the Orangemen ( no connection, Folks) would take credit for. Each murder was posed to look like a political murder but none were—they were done by a non-political gang of psychopaths who took delight not only in the murders but also in stirring up more confusion as a cover for their continued crimes.
It is important that we speak, Amarynth. I have a totally non political friend who saw a crowd of Black Lives Matter folks marching past her outside wall to the neighborhood park. She then posted on Facebook where they were and was immediately threatened and told to say that she supported Black Lives Matter or she was a
b-tch. I said to her unless you can handle the political heat do not say anything to anyone about anything other than chit chat and the weather because it is going to get worse, much worse. By the way, she is white living in a poor black area. They only way she is able to afford to “go grey” is to move to her father’s home in Nevada.
Let us not stop speaking – from my heart, let us not do that. Too many have done that! (But yes, also not be stupid and harm ourselves). The joy I speak of, is the proverbial little wild flower that managed to stick its head up in between the concrete – It is the joy of your poem and recognizing … just recognizing things. We cannot forget to see that – because if we forget, we will become somewhat non-human ourselves because “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
There are some of us here that have passed their ‘time of monsters’.
I am doing a set of research here for one of our writers that is pulling me apart at the seams, and that is breaking my bones and making my heart shudder. The small joys are keeping me human as it did during our ‘time of monsters’.
Besides this, I have what is hopefully some answer for you because you’ve said a few times that this ‘upheaval’ has no focus, besides upheavelling and power and destruction. There are demands .. there are demands in some black groups that are good for our world. I am not presenting this to you as absolute, but I think there is some in there, that you’ve been looking for. So, when energy allows:
https://blackagendareport.com/white-images-black-reality-how-talk-accidental-apologists-monsters
‘non political gang of sycopaths’ you are talking about the actions of the FRU, the crimes they committed were to keep the suffering going. Divide and conquer…………..typical Brit legacy.
Remember the Brit soldiers caught by Iraqis wearing full arab dress in Basra, and subsequent jail break where brit and us spec opps broke them out………………FRU guys.
Again. Much appreciated, azra.
I have, unfortunately, come to the same conclusion. Almost no one “gets it”. Even Dmitry Orlov sad to say. He simply dismissed my observation, when I asked him his thoughts on FB, by simply stating that the Davos crowd are a sorry bunch and will go the way of the neocons. So, yeah, I’ve come to the same conclusion as you did. It’s a lost cause.
don’t stop sharing your thoughts though Allen. Write what needs to be said even though no one is listening. The butterfly effect is tried and true…..and we know about the hundredth monkeys. That is unless you have something better to do..like garden:)

I think for people the hardest thing to face is the truth. It is easier to live the lie until the whole lie blows up in one’s face like what is going on now in the world. The days of wine & roses is over and people now know it. There is no running to a safe place. I just hope we do not descend into WW3 or are taken over for a period of time by the dark forces that now control this world.
Do NOT give up Udall please
You have acquired the respect here, the smart and whole ones who already acknowledged you count.
I respect you immensely and I like how you say the truth in a measured wise way, but with compassion.
I am faulted with flying off the handle, too much emotions…
We need to hear from you as from a voice of reason and beauty.

If only people could understand it is about all of us, together in a grinding machine.
With all my respect
Thank you, azra.
Your respect means a lot me-more than you can imagine.
I’ll stay for now. I posted my analysis on the latest Saker article. Hope you find it insightful.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers

How the socialists, the global elitist world government puppets see the world.
https://www.dw.com/en/voice-of-america-top-directors-resign-amid-trump-clash/a-53822111
When pres. Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton ran the VOA it was an independent broadcaster.
Now pres. Donald Trump is something else. VOA employees top directors resign on the ground that the government funded media organisation is not independent any more.
As a fact, John Kerry was formally the head of VOA. They ran direct broadcasts to the Maidan square to support the violent coup d’etat in Ukraine. How independent news media is that ? They were in fact an international corporate media for the president of the USA which they will of course be after the changes as well. From one hypocrite to the next.

Surrounded by ruins in Syria’s capital Damascus, Ayham Ahmad sings accompanied by an out-of-tune piano about migration, hunger and death, until he is forced to flee to Germany.
The documentary film “Ayham Ahmad – The Pianist Of Yarmouk” tells the story of this Syrian refugee musician. After his arrival in Munich, we follow the life of a man who sang out against the suffering in his country until his instrument was destroyed.
His fate stands for that of thousands – robbed of their hopes and dreams and forced to build a new existence.

(intense grief)
Jimmy N Lose and I are mostly concerned with the Big Picture of The Need For Far More Honest Money…..as a way of crippling the Material Supply Lines and Spiritual Attacks on Humanity ….that Allen and azra and others lament as being SO difficult….perhaps impossible to do anything about.
No, it’s is not impossible. But it is very, very difficult to envision Victory….or even progress …..in the beginning of one’s efforts to organize others into almost anything.
That’s why they call it ………….The Great Work guys.
If it were a snap, a breeze….A Guaranteed Win….it might instead be called “A Walk In the Park” or “A Piece of Cake”. lol
And then you have Anonymous whining about Putin and Peskov being exactly like their American Counterparts………Screwing the Little Guy for the New World Order……instead of delivering the goodies to him or her …….. like Socialist Santa Clauses.
What is this, A Pity Party??? Or What Jimmy N Lose called “A (BSV….his ‘Bitcoin Community’) Circle Jerk” ……………about two dozen times in his video linked in # 2 comment in the Cafe…if I recall correctly???
As we shall see, sharp polemics rather than propitiation…of jerks….or jerking…….sometimes cause remarkable change….ACTION.
Now, I wouldn’t call Sir Toshi…..,our Brash BSV Brat…er Brit…… a “jerk”…..and neither does Jimmie….however in terms of psycho-sexual maturity…it is clear to me that Jimmie “Never” Lose …..is the more sober adult between the two……more the Warrior Angel, if you will.
This is apparent in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Ow9QpkgLI
Bitcoin, Gareth Williams GCHQ, Body In Bag, Clintons, Epstein, Satoshi Nakamoto.
where J.N. Lose from somewhere down around the Southern Cone of South America takes on questions of surveying the entire battleground…the globe…the Earth…this planet….and MACRO considerations (Clintons, Epstein, the murdered Gareth Williams…..) that are on his mind as clearly affecting his mission…in his chosen battle, using the weapons, both tech and nontech that he knows.
As a 16 year old, I had no computer or any skills and more than half a century later, I have ZERO hope of ever catching up to Jimmie……who made some attempts..from the UK,…….at age 16, so he admits…to hack into the United States Department of Defense computer system.
The statute of limitations has long since run out, he says, and he no longer does that. But I am fairly confident he does know his craft.
Like any warrior, Jimmie knows you must consider the lay of the land…the topography of the Entire Battlefield, and (don’t know if any of you caught it…but I did….) he briefly mentions that he’s tired of most of the circle jerking techies…..the .Twitter, Slack, Telegram, Twetch, Facebook chatter…either praising or dissing each other like a bunch of screeching monkeys.and instead among other things less boring to him is following the investigative video work of Shaun Attwood (over 300 videos on Epstein/Maxwell to date but a lot else, as well….) to discover some missing data….holding up his goal of bringing the entire battlefield into much clearer focus.
So I went over to Shaun’s channel to scope some of his latest work….figuring I could at least maybe “hack” into Jimmie’s head a bit. LOL.
And here is where I landed:

UK’s Hidden Shadows – Official – Inspired by Out of Shadows
403,718 views•Premiered May 11, 2020
Wow! SYNCHRONICITY….my fellow “Little Englanders”!
I have posted Out of Shadows 2-3 times since that came out, here in The Colonies…asserting that it is an important piece of the Awakening Against Empire, within the Empire:
https://youtu.be/yK0uaNW3R7s Out of Shadows (USA)
“Why do you believe what you believe?”, it begins, seconds after shots from space of the Entire Battle Ground of the Earth…this planet.
So that Out of Shadows documentary inspired Shaun Attwood to produce UK’s Hidden Shadows…..and Jimmie N Lose thinks this is relevant to his mission.
SO DO I.
But before I return to the ethereal “Bitcoin” mists on this battlefield that seem to burn of quickly with the morning sun (and I will return to those mists in both the MACRO (strategic) and Micro (Personal…since that is the way Pamela and TJT responded….from their experience…more personally …less politically) I will end this comment with a suggestion that they …and Allen and azra and others…compare both documentaries….maybe not all in one day…..but this week…before the end of the Next Cafe.
I found UK’s Hidden Shadows quite gripping…watched it straight through …….without interruption and I must say Shaun Attwood has outstanding guts and determination to very quickly get to the bottom of things and shine light into some very, very dark Shadows.
The story of Michael Tarraga sticks most in my mind……and Shaun finds him, and interviews him:
https://youtu.be/Fi_x090LGO8?t=2451
Any whiners out there…compare your plight, your woes………… to Michael’s ….but notice how he now old and sick…but with vivid memories of Sir Edward Heath buggering him as a young, defenseless lad from an orphanage on riverboats in the canals of London….fights back ..for truth and light…against the Empire to the extent of his modest but powerfully moving capacities,
And what Shaun and Jimmie Lose and millions of others COULD do…to rip that vulnerable Empire flank…to absolute shreds.
A few errands, and I’ll be back.
Here’s a song of whimsy, light, airy, fun, from a rocker no less………………….a relaxing break from a mundane muddling world.

New evidence is unearthed that strongly suggests that Richard’s brother, King Edward IV, was illegitimate. If that were the case, the entire royal bloodline that traces its lineage to Edward has no legal right to the throne. In fact, according to our own constitutional rules, Britain’s real monarch today is not Elizabeth II, but King Michael, a resident of Jerilderie, Australia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euc1JskB7Uo
I saw his story months ago.
Didn’t he say that he was quite happy living the modest life he has, and would mightily resist any ideas of anyone anywhere preparing to seat him on any throne??
… Bro, if he was urgently requested nicely and sincerely … maybe.
He voted for Australia to be a republic and said waveringly he might reconsider.
If he could clean up that mess that you posted and free Assange …
They say the CV19 virus wasn’t in the group of samples which were sent out, illegally, and the removale of the researchers and students had nothing to do with CV19, nudge nudge, wink wink.
Which raises the possibility that the CV19 was stolen and released…………..with no one actually knowing how it would play out in the general population………….so Lockdown 2020 was the main option with some countries opting out.

Remarkable letter when one of the more public graduates, pompeo, brags openly about lying and puts that bragadocio in practice with almost every public statement.
____________________
From article:
On June 11th, an angry and mournful letter signed by hundreds of graduates of West Point—spanning from the Class of 1948 to the Class of 2019—was posted on Medium. It addressed the Class of 2020. It cited the current “tumultuous time” in America:
They warned bluntly of leaders who “betray public faith through deceitful rhetoric, quibbling, or the appearance of unethical behavior.” They reminded students of the cadet honor code, which dictates not to “lie, cheat, or steal,” and not to tolerate those who do. Without naming names, they cited their fellow-graduates who are now in senior government positions and failing to uphold their oath of office. (The Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, and the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, both graduated in the West Point Class of 1986.)
Took a look at the Duran this morning and saw this article posted:
UK Police Officers told to ‘Take a Knee’ for BLM Protesters
https://theduran.com/uk-police-officers-told-to-take-a-knee-for-blm-protesters/
In Canada, when PM Trudeau attended a protest in Ottawa, he too, took a knee (along with several cabinet members.) So too, did the Chief of Toronto’s Police, who then decided to retire early (as of July 1st, I think).
Given what’s happening in the US, I wondered if Trudeau and Chief Mark Sounders were following direction from above (or across – the Atlantic.) Especially with Trudeau, rather than an act of submission, I saw the knee as a sign of polite refusal to get involved in unfolding American politics, and also as a challenge to those who are ‘bringing it’ to other countries. (We accept the challenge — game on.) It may have been too much to ask a seasoned police chief to police badly, or to not police, for the sake of a much higher political goal. That is unfortunate, and I don’t blame him for exiting early.
And for those who are interested, a press release came out today about that Canadian Cyclone helicopter crash in the Ionian Sea. It’s still not terrorism (and here I thought Albania would have to step up and accept responsibility for this one), but it isn’t mechanical failure either. (So diplomatically, I guess Canada broke even?)
What was the cause? a “rare anomaly [that] only occurred under a very specific and narrow set of circumstances.” I think (or trust) we can all agree on that. :-)

This is probably pretty important:
Three Russian individuals are suing Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson for defamation of character, according to Tracy Beanz who has kind of taken on the niche role of international court reporter……..
They are executives from Alpha Bank in Moscow and were set up (really early!) in the summer of 2016 by Hillary Clinton & Her Gang for making Trump appear as the puppet of Putin…in case the 2016 Election had to be challenged…on the selected basis of “Russian Interference”.
Go to the 37 minute mark of yesterday’s Dark to Light Podcast ….”CHAZ Gets CHOPped”
https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/dark-to-light-with-frank-beanz/e/71113049?autoplay=true
Quite a few details….15 or 20 minutes worth.
Since they (Alpha Bank) are a bank that does international business and had NO CONTACTS with Donald Trump or his newly inaugurated administration……. in very early 2017….they reached out to make sure they had some contact with the new American administration…and the long prepared PROPAGANDA AND MSM LIES trap was then sprung in the same time frame that Lt Gen Michael Flynn as new DNI was being set up for another routine “talking to Russians” (Ambassador Kislyak) Absolute Horse-Puckey “Thought Crime” only an absolute moron American Liberal or Mind-Controlled Englishman could bite on.

I haven’t seen this reported yet, so I need to sound the alarm:
A Valuable Humor Warrior……Jimmy Dore…..appears to be on his Last Legs……because Russiagate Still Has Legs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP5wtWCs9j0
Democrats Blame Russia For Racism & Riots
He starts off OK…relating the asinine formulation of Susan Rice to Wolf Blitzer…which I knew about. But then Dore goes through many more current charges of Russia dividing us…and making us fight each other, that I actually hadn’t heard about.
By the time he ends this short episode of under 8 minutes……with a tweet from Chris Murphy, Junior US Senator from Connecticut, he just looks old, grey haired, worn out, sad:
Murphy’s tweet says, “The story Trump is referencing was written BY A RUSSIAN, working for the Kremlin’s propaganda agency.
“Goddammit!_,whispers Dore, almost in tears, bowing his head and wiping his yes. “They are trying to out-dumb each other. Right now Chris Murphy is winning!”
Dore reads more of Sen Murphy’s tweet: “Get ready. This is the next 5 months. The Russians and the Trump campaign openly collaborating to spread lies and manipulate the election.”
Oh, my God!”….. Jimmy slumps in his chair…”We are so F_cked!”
A lik for for some who want to get into the depth on the huge growth of us debt; I have a view that the growth in debt will eventually cause the us to pull back on its insane “defense” spending as well as pulling back in its stupid foreign wars and committments. We shall see, but to paraphrase, a trillion here, a trillion there, fairly soon you are talking real money. i have already seen reports that the defense dept (sic) is whining that they cannot afford all of the weapons on the planning boards.
As noted, the Fed is the biggest buyer of the us debt, japan stepped up earlier, but to no one’s surprise, the Chinese are pulling back big time. Not sure where the Russians are on this but noted a report earlier (no link) that they are shedding us treasuries big time as well.

Tales from the Cryptosphere
Well, well, well.
It seems Jim-Jim’s pointed polemics and perhaps mention of Shaun Attwood’s work (see previous link UK’s Hidden Shadows) may have gotten under Sir Toshi’s skin…and irritated him into taking action!.
They know each other well…have conversed on Live Chats many times….and Toshi knows Jim-Jim Lose can answer virtually ANY tech question he never could.
I say he watched the very same Shaun Attwood video because on one of his shows this week, he’s taken the hint…….and also gotten global-strategic….. as best the young English bloke can!
I give him credit for trying:

SirToshiTV – S2 E33: Missing Children Cases
Although he does make some politically naive bloopers occasionally. Softness toward those hideous German usurpers to the Crown of England…..well what else can you expect if the BBC and everything else in Britain has bombarded your brain from birth??? It’s no surprise to hear such childish, blind-to-evil naivete from the English of any age!
But for TJT, Pamela, and others, especially friends of our dear ioan (who is recovering from a serious health setback he has told me) the above video is your chance grasp the Power of the Numbers involved in this whole “Bitcoin” tiny piece of the Grander Strategic Puzzle…right here in this comment…in the realm of the “Micro Individual “ME”” rather than the the Macro Collective WE……
Here’s where you get the Intro to the kind of constantly calculated clues (i’m a numbers guy, by natural ability and pleasure….) to the Probabilities or Possibilities……There Are No Guarantees In Anything In Life ….ALL is a “Risk/Reward” Calculation for Responsible Adults…..not whiny chikdren to make …or at least grasp the main outlines of…on their own.
But both these Brits helped me considerably. So I’ll try to help some others.
All of Series 2 of Sir Toshi TV shows , (Series 3 begins at $1200 price) after the Disclaimer…..contain the same high contrast photo of a man and his voice …..in Japan in 2017 saying to techs oin his team of Bitcoin miners and such the following:
“So, at the end of the day, we earn (he means by mining..or transaction processing) a lot of Bitcoin.
The central thing is, if we make the network scale, if we make it bigger my main compensation, more than anything anyone could ever pay me….is the price of Bitcoin goes up. I want Bitcoin not to go up to ten thousand or a hundred thousand. …..I want Bitcoin to be worth $MILLIONS$…..PER Bitcoin.”
Now that statement ought to generate a fair number of incredulous, scoffing and curious questions!.
I put “if we make the network scale, if we make it bigger” in bold text because that is, In my opinion the only conceivable way that ANY version of Bitcoin could ever reach even half a million dollars. You’d have to grow a tiny acorn (which all three are presently) into a Mighty Oak…with global adoption and very valuable utility…especially to millions of firms requiring secure and unlimited capacity for records storage….to ever see those high dollar valuation numbers.
Some obvious questions without regard to prejudice as to which “Bitcoin” has the best shot at it:
1) Could it actually happen?
I think so! But all three could also die. All depends on adoption, utility, growth of the network…..not “sentiment” the present determination of the values prone to much variation up and down
2. If it did happen, how soon could it happen?
That’s anyone’s guess …But I personally don’t see adoption plateauing and getting so broad as to eliminate the present excessive volatility (for payments.by billions of individuals…..data storage for a million businesses could be another matter..much sooner) inside of two decades. or longer. Although 10 times more adoption, 100 times more adoption, a thousand times more adoption….ALL THOSE with proportional increase in value (or collapse to ZERO if adoption fails) are theoretically possible in the interim…..much sooner than 5 years for 10X…sooner than 10 years for 100X…..and so forth. Theoretically, mind you. In terms of plenty of room to grow…in terms of saturation usage between the current tiny, tiny percentage of the world’s individuals and firms partaking in any usage at all…..and something like global cell phone or internet ….more “universal” usage.
3. What could possibly drive such increases in usage??
Competitive advantage in business. Especially lowering the cost and efficiency and security of data storage. The “BIT” part without whose vast expansion in usage the “coin” part will forever remain a speculative, sentiment or belief-driven mirage.
Before ceasing any pseudonymous communication @ 2010 or 2011 at the latest Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto messaged the tiny portion of the world’s population that was watching (not me…it wasn’t on my radar yet at all until years later…..) “You might want to pick up some, just in case it catches on.”
It was pennies per Bitcoin when he messaged that. Who knew??? LOL.
Answer: Not very many at all. But a few did. Enough for the network to survive and grow…and split twice and argue and fight…and do all the messy things people and nations do!
But as Rothbard’s Disciple points out in his article The Great Promise….(What Went Wrong? LOL subtitle or within first sentence of the article I link in the second comment in this Cafe…)….. in some detail…he is sceptical that ANY of the three main pretenders to “The Bitcoin Brand” can make it.
Could he be missing something in his reasoning?? Sure!
But the question is WHAT could that author be missing and what difference does it make anyway WHICH…if any of the 3 Main Contenders…..might prevail…or even survive another 4 years until the next “halvenning” of the block reward miners earn maintaining the network? Or less??
If the day arrives when they can no longer justify the economics, the costs versus earnings of maintaining the network (any one of the three), so the Chain Death Theory goes…that network dies.
SO tons more questions about all the details involved in all of that.
But we are here not for that personal angle. The first question…the PRIMARY question of almost all readers probably goes something like this:
“I don’t understand this yet. Some say it’s a potentially great, beneficial invention…a boon to mankind. Other’s say it’s the Mark of the Beast! How on earth can a non IT specialist ever decide which it is?”
I admit it is quite a puzzle, beyond the ken of the average individual. And like many a tool, it could be ” double-edged” …ie put to beneficial or harmful use.
For example, I have no more interest in Mark Zuckerberg’s LIBRA coin than I do in Bill Gates’ vaccinations. I already know enough about the intent of those cyborgs to want nothing to do with either one of them……..other than using Windows until I can transition to Linux. (So Jimmy Lose advises! LOL)
So for me, it’s like Dead Reckoning Maritime Navigation: The more line of sight landmarks to triangulate…along with tide tables and other data (metaphorically) the better!
My assessment thus far??? Yes, in theory an Immutable Global Public Ledger…which sovereign national fiat or gold-backed currencies could utilize (by building on top of it, as an accounting platform or ledger) to inspire greater confidence among trading partners and its own citizens might actually be the David’s Slingshot …that slays the Goliath of Private Central Banking ,,,,,about the #1 scourge of the Present Psychopathy afflicting this planet.
Until proven otherwise, that IS the enormous potential I and many others see.
In the meantime, for sure…. “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary”.
And the only way of ever getting there……is one foot, after the next, after the next.
A final Micro (personal…for shame! LOL ) question I will pose for y’all while trying to avoid any declarations or “infomercials” that will make anyone too keen on this subject, but of different outlook and approach altogether,…..go ballistic with censoring outrage:
Assume ONE out of the three pretenders to the Bitcoin Brand might grow from the tiny acorn they all are presently to that Mighty Majestic Oak of more or less Global Adoption.
Usage and broadening of the holding of any one of the 3 (BTC, BCH or BSV) by any single individual…HELPS ….. but only very marginally…and cumulatively by very large numbers of users…. as anything approaching Global Adoption would have to ultimately involve billions of other persons benefitting from participation in such usage. for it to be of any truly civilizationally transformative power.
Other than comprehending and communicating the potential strategic benefit for national sovereign currency and freedom from private central banking enslavement……WHICH of the 3 might the most readers here…or persons anywhere in the world …..acquire just ONE of …..to test out, use a little, (one is divided into a hundred million subunits called “Satoshis” and there are only 21 million of any of the three Main Units so, obviously in theory …every person on earth could have some Satoshi;s but nowhere near every person could ever have even 1/40 of a BTC, BCH or BSV.) ??
Those 3 are in the top 6 here: https://coinmarketcap.com/
and as of this writing the respective values are:
# 1 BTC $9480
# 5 BCH $236
# 6 BSV $176
Now bear in mind, the values of all three, in dollars, in much informed opinion out there besides mine…..are ALL said to still be primarily due to perception….and to “sentiment”.
The answer clearly is that without gaining very much more confidence than any individual “newbie” presently has…damned few…in comparison are going to “take a flyer” at $9480 a pop……compared to those who COULD take a flyer on either BCH or BSV at $236 or $176 and be able to afford it …be able to recover just fine…if they picked wrong or even if all three die.
The individual in the high contrast photo says that his objective is “Millions….per Bitcoin”.
Well, we’ll see about that, won’t we???
Some of us. will. At 70 years of age, obviously I might check out in less than 15 or 20 years ….and it might take 25 years ….or NEVER for that initial very stable, very broad plateau.
I know that risk. I’m comfortable with it. Very comfortable.
However if people don’t think they could ever figure it all out or don’t even want to try….despite what that guy in the high contrast photo said in Tokyo in 2017…Okay! Nothing wrong with that….<b.it's fine!
Adults make their own choices!
What amazes me (and amuses me even more! LOL) is that I offered 100 million Satoshis of one of the 3 contenders (Ie, 1 “Bitcoin”…..the one the guy in the high contrast photo intends to drive to “Millions..per Bitcoin”..in his younger lifetime at least )…… to two people you know here in this Vineyard ….and to Quite Frankly for taking the time of day and corresponding a little bit (answers a few emails, very briefly) ……FREE…as a gift….or contribution……and “No Takers!”
Now that…is truly precious irony! I love it!
I understand: There ARE obstacles: Even with ZERO risk…the Recipient One must have a free “wallet” (either an App for smart phone or a free desktop download) to receive the gift. of 100,000,000 Satoshis…into..AND that might take ten or 15 minutes and cause ALL the anxiety that the Unknown…can cause!
I GET IT! LOL.
So the gift or donation in three separate instances to three separate individuals is refused…or neglected…or perhaps just not understood. Whatever!
Or in my friend ioan’s case …it could be that the passionate contentions here among the Contenders…that tension is just too much fuss to bear…and instead Peace and Diplomacy are valued more highly than the possible (enormous…but probable??? No, I don’t claim probability…only possibility!) upside.
Emotional state of mind and health can also simply mean the focus can’t be there to bother to try to understand such an esoteric, hard to get an handle on…”gift horse”…whose “mouth” simply cannot be brought into any focus in competition with so many other things that require attention..
I find it all fascinating.
I hope y’all don’t find this completely BORING!
Because if you do…it it really, really takes off like a rocket..into Sir Toshi’s Series 3 daily videos…….it’ll be kind of fun to rub it in.
Once in a great while, of course,
I wouldn’t want to get banned for overdoing it.
Cheers!

Thanks for the link to the vid….I learnt a bit there.
Got me thinking ….Global digital transparent piggy bank depends on the network of server ledgers.
Have any of the proponents of digital storage ever considered the possibility of failure due to an EMP
(electro magnetic pulse )event,either,intentional or accidental.I mention accidental because I have long followed the work of Eric P Dollard who has being saying for years that the US electrical grid is in such a state of chaos that this phenomenon,known in nuclear explosions,is entirely likely any time.
ericpdollard.com is where you will find his work and interviews.
A quick introduction on YouTube “Eric Dollard three secrets about the sun”
TJT…. I will answer you in a newer Café.
Pardon my delay…but sometimes I get taken away from the Vineyard for a few days at a time and get so tired I just want to rest……. instead of coming back in here …………. conversing for quite a while..and getting more wiped out.
Cheers!

Remarkable summary of the hysteria provoked by trump asserting that he is pulling 9,500 troops out of Germany: 9,500?? Speculation is that they will go to Poland.
Summary is worth a read just to appreciate the utter insanity of the “foreign establishment” in DC; as the author asserts, the establishment has collectively lost its mind.

_______________________________
A flavor of the hysteria and the continuous hyping of the non-existent Russia threat, aggressiveness, and opportunism: remarkable for its mindless and brain dead hyperbole:
A “disastrous mistake” screamed Bloomberg’s editors. The move threatens “an even bigger catastrophe” and “would imperil America’s relationships and alliances everywhere.” A matter of “pique” and “petulance,” intoned establishment paladin George Will. The move is “dangerous,” warned Philip Gordon. Ben Hodges denounced the move as a “colossal mistake” and “purely political.” The usually loquacious war hawk Jim Inhofe simply expressed disbelief.
The decision reflects a lack of “moral leadership” and “understanding of our national security interests,” pontificated Eliot Engel. They were “very concerned,” complained GOP House members, who warned of “logistical difficulties.” Worse, they hyperventilated, the move would “encourage further Russian aggression and opportunism.” Hans Binnendijk said the shift “could undercut a half decade long effort to prevent war” and leave NATO “less well prepared to deal with a nuclear threat.”
Kevin Carroll denounced the decision as “appalling” and “destructive and misguided” Succumbing to war fever, he insisted that the redeployment “needlessly risks the lives of our soldiers and airmen,” who currently have a “happy” relationship, as if that mattered, with the Germans. “Dangerously misguided,” said the ever-hysterical Liz Cheney. (No word, from her father, he of the grand Iraq misadventure.) “Damaging” and “a gift to Vladimir Putin,” huffed the Wall Street Journal, advocate of every war America fought and many that it did not. Jack Reed went personal and partisan, calling the troop move “petty and preposterous” as well as “another favor to Putin and leadership failure.” The Washington Post, consolidating the imperial city’s many clichés and bromides, opined that the policy was “senseless and vindictive.”
Withdrawal would “encourage Russia to be more aggressive” and leave “behind a fractured, more dangerous, less stable world,” predicted the ever-alarmed Mac Thornberry. The lugubrious Matthew Continetti concluded that “America sent another signal that its days of global leadership are coming to an end.” Hal Brands exuded the horror of a policy wonk scorned, insisting that: “the move is strategically nonsensical, reflects some of the pettiest and most destructive impulses of Trumpism, and reveals the deepening rot in America’s most important European relationship.”

A huge FWIW with these caveats:
-twitter feeds leave a lot to be desired (a major weakness, it pulls in a lot of superfluous chatter and flotsam);
-posting this feed from Nick Fad in no way attempts to argue for or against jusification of the outrage on the death by cops in Minneapolis;
-I believe this tragic incident was opportunistically seized as a rationale for sedition, insurrection, or insurgency, whatever one chooses to call it: to state the obvious, we are in the midst of an insurrection.
-this incident was seized upon after the jesse smollett hoax fell on its face because the planning has been underway prob since Nov 2016;
With that in mind, I post the twitter feed of Nick Fad@nicatnigh;
I pulled this link off a Youtube video, (x22, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1FRb25tcww) which in the past I have been skeptical of as another contributer in the hopium line: indictments any day now, or worse, tic, toc, etc, etc.
I post this link because to my mind, Fad lays out about as well as I have seen, the characteristics of the current insurrection.
Excellent summary of the front groups and the money trail of the insurrection currently under way: Engdahl imo is an excellent source:

What’s up?
I found this article very interesting…please read!
Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.
It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.
You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…
You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!
…Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).
To see all the details showing why the Bible foretold of all these things, check out this article!
Article: https://biblewoke.com/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed
GOD is sending out His end time warning:
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).
In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.
He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…
“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama
…but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…
“And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).
In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.
Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning
baraq – Biblical definition:
From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)
Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.
bamah – Biblical definition:
From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)
The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.
Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.
Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
