@UnityNewsNet The nation requires DNA testing - Jacob, Charles and William, with a credible, independent outsider in charge of the process. Nayib Bukele, for example. Then full FOI access to all royal records and archives, and live-streamed 24/7 AV surveillance of wherever any of them may be.
In reply to: RWApodcast
@RWApodcast Tangentially related, but is the name 'Putin' related etymologically to the 'Pyth-' commonly found in Ancient Greece?
In reply to: UnityNewsNet
@UnityNewsNet Watching the UK isolate itself and reveal itself as a rogue state is satisfying. The reason is semi-covert support for the CCP and a failed attempt to use global institutions to impose tyranny. It's desperate because China is collapsing along with the totalitarian fantasy.
In reply to: StuGray1
@StuGray1 @UnityNewsNet Yes, the CCP will conduct any experiment on its defenceless people and the results are then applied globally in a framework invented under the British empire. Other nations have genuinely patriotic movements, but for the UK the first step is citizens acknowledging that reality.
In reply to: jimmysong
@jimmysong I find it has struggled to replace beauty or divinity with new themes. Introspective, shallow, talentless. I saw Koons at Versailles, and although now it's fashionable to mock or be offended by such horrors, I'm not sure his work is in much worse taste than the palace itself.
Christianity has often defined itself societally in antagonism to Paganism. The word Paganism refers to the countryside, as in the modern French word campagne. Does that mean that either: - Christianity was predominantly an urban phenomenon? - Christianity was a monastic phenomenon, with the monastic structure considered antagonistic to the family unit in the countryside? Or is the distinction based on something else entirely?

@MyLordBebo The UK has no capital gains tax on RM gold. It will be interesting to see if bitcoin is treated in the same way if/when the Labour regime raises CGT to 45%. It would also be interesting to know whether any insiders exited other assets into gold in advance of any CGT reform.

In reply to: Babygravy9
@Babygravy9 I am Northern Irish, and was raised to be Roman Catholic. I spent much of my life wondering why I was here and what this is all about, even going so far as to study philosophy. It took until my thirties to realise I'm here because the strategy was to outbreed the Protestants and vote to remove them from governance, if not remove them altogether. I find it difficult to hear people talk about the inherent dignity in life. This is an inhuman reason to have been brought into existence, and an insult to the dignity of man made in the image of God. I imagine Mexicans, in particular, of my age must share this awareness, but I never hear them confess to it.

Fortunately, just like the paedophilia conspiracy theories, the satanic ritual violence conspiracy theories were also 'debunked', this time by Vice and an extreme-left academic. "In the north Belfast Catholic neighborhood of Ardoyne during the weeks around Halloween 1972, tales circulated—particularly among children and teenagers—about a mysterious “Black Man” who was apparently practicing black magic and sacrificing dogs. The Black Mass in question was said to involve upside-down crosses and black candles. These stories soon died away, and they did not make the local newspapers." Ardoyne is the same place where my 'attempted murder' took place under questionable circumstances. Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV
This set the stage for the extreme-left academic to begin research on 'rumours', the prime target of communism as tested under Xi and now being rolled out globally as 'disinformation' and 'misinformation'.

I'd have said, as a European, that the American national philosophy was encapsulated by its founding fathers, exists in its constitutional documents, bill of rights and federalist papers, and primarily as a way of life. Dugin's concern was that all philosophy is ultimately Platonic, and Plato not being Russian creates a lacuna in the Russian national identity.

RT @DanTalks1: The blood of the three girls of Southport are on his hands.
With so many clips of the Farage interview making the rounds, the link to the full interview is below. My immediate reaction: - The jab at Trump was unnecessary and unhelpful; - The criticism is still party political, and omits the role of the civil service and military intelligence; - His atheistic vision of 'family, community, country' is actually Confucian, and aligns more closely with communist China than the emerging right in Europe or the MAGA movement in the US; - He very pointedly excludes faith from the public square; - There was no commitment to deportation, despite the suggestions otherwise; - He has no answer to the question of what defines Britishness or British values beyond the English language; - There was no discussion of how the UK economy can be allowed to grow. Overall, I continue to see Farage as an "insurance policy", as he put it, but in case the Conservatives and Labour lose influence in the US, with few or no tangible points of distinction from what led the UK to its current impasse.

@VoteHarrisOut @DerrickEvansWR Perhaps some are FBI agents or other agents provocateurs who were subsequently given light sentences to bolster the insurrection narrative.
The dissolution of Parliament in the UK is decided solely by the King, conventionally following the advice of the Prime Minister on behalf of the Government or cabinet. The Commons, Lords and the judiciary are excluded from the decision. If the ongoing petition gains enough momentum, it will eventually force Starmer to expose himself as a dictator and Charles will be implicated to an equal degree. Along with the petition then, it would be helpful to have every Minister publicly state their view on when dissolution would be appropriate in the context of public demand.

As the successor to 'body dysphoria', it has caused even more damage. Both are liable to have been caused by the mass psychological experimentation beloved of Bertrand Russell and his peers. As in the rest of Europe, in the UK programs like MK-Ultra are dismissed as conspiracy or American eccentricities. Yet it defies belief that MI5, MI6 and the state bureaucracy haven't been involved in similar programs, targeting individuals and the wider public. State, private sector, NGO and military involvement in the generation of dysphoria disorders is an issue that merits research, and it would be unfortunate for that baby to be thrown out with the bathwater suggested by Crabb and others like him.

@MTClassical Only a book called Conquest and Empire by A. B. Bosworth, but it was very enjoyable.

He was, to my knowledge, the first to attempt to create a mixed-race underclass under an ethnically 'pure' elite. He had the familiar God Complex that seems common among imperialists and rulers claiming divine right. Aristotle shared that view too, it seems, along with the other Greeks who refused to genuflect or kowtow on Alexander's demand. Overall, he comes across as valiant in battle but not as a competent statesman.

@MetaPrime001 This could be reconciled by improvements in robotics. AI robots can already perform tasks that were previously the domain of humans. That doesn't lead one to desiring to become a robot, only to use the human mind to find applications for them and manage them in that context. That raises the question of brain-computer interfaces, but again for the kind of slow thinking required for strategic decisions, it's best to isolate the element of computation and optimise the mind through traditional methods in harmony with the body. All of this supposes humans living in decent conditions. The use cases for both AI and robotics, outside smart city management and military-industrial contexts, are extremely limited if we exist in pods in panopticons.

In reply to: InterrogativeV
With the price of debt spiralling for the UK's Treasury, one could ask what may reassure markets: - replacing Reeves with another senior Labour politician is unlikely to instill any confidence, given the rejection of all aspects of their ideology; - replacing Ed Miliband may be just as effective, but that is to say not very; - an emergency budget outlining severe spending cuts and no tax rises is the most feasible option, although it may destroy the Party irreversibly. We already see markets not reacting favourably to the bailout policy in place, which suggests that can't be further scaled to the major bank cartel. The 'extend and pretend' period that was 2023/24 has been fruitless. For consumers, even housing is now failing as a shield against inflation. Bureaucrats will be attempting to prevent the flow of liquidations from turning into a flood, but in the absence of any effective policy tools, that flood looks inevitable. The damage goes back to the lie that only deficits are important, and debt doesn't matter. The trap was set at that time, the bills are now overdue.
Europe's strategy of subsidising China's development under CCP totalitarianism only ever made sense if you consider it aimed at an eventual return in the form of economic and political conquest of the US. It was 'venture capitalism' in the manner of the East India Company. As… Twitter Link
Although tariffs are a common feature of global trade, and an increase in their use by the US is not historically unprecedented, what is new is a context of fiat currencies, Dollar pegs and multi-jurisdiction supply chains. It may be that simple tariff rates would be most effective. Or, it may be more effective to incorporate data on currency manipulation, offshoring and M&A activity and safe haven and security investments. That kind of dynamic tariff rate would create an uncertainty in supply chains that would encourage re-shoring of production. By allowing its asset values to collapse while low bond yields encourage state-sanctioned capital flight and an under-valued Yuan (pic related), China is running a serious risk of internal disharmony and so seems desperate to maintain its export volumes and market shares. This suggests fragility on a number of fronts.

@TheChiefNerd The issue is that the division of labour has been economically effective but individually harmful, and this unfortunate lady is a result of that business model.

Whatever the opposition to any given policy, almost nobody is suggesting abolition of the division of labour.
America is aware that the plans of global capital would be to roll the profits from the British empire into the American empire, and in turn to roll the profits of the American empire into China-led totalitarian global governance. If there is opposition to that movement within the US, it has only come at a point when its defeat was looking increasingly certain, if not militarily then via a series of decisions that hollowed out its reason for existence. Zuckerberg's offer to name his Chinese offspring after Xi Jinping remains the most revealing example of the defeat of America. For Zuckerberg's entire lifetime, the US has not acted significantly differently to communist China, only dealing with different contexts using similar techniques. One can forgive his present confusion. The only reasonable hope is that a President Trump can create an alternative, but in the awareness that it is a lot to ask. The sad reality is that the US never has been exceptional, and the signs do not suggest a last-minute change will be possible. At this point, the debate is between China-led or US-led totalitarian global governance, with the financial and political overlap between the two remaining shrouded in a veil of secrecy.

@girlydrinkdrunk @ScottMGreer There is A History of Britain by Carter and Mears (recommended by no less than @ClarkeMicah), in which the authors recount how a former monarch did indeed attempt to sell Britain to some Arab. Given the historical precedent and ongoing issues, in particular the obvious but hidden post-imperial deals that have led to people like Khan existing, it's reasonable to ask whether history is rhyming or repeating.
My thoughts as 2024 draws to its close. The year was characterised by manufactured data and a refusal to mark asset values to higher-rate markets, but also the ongoing transition from global communism to its eventual replacement. The coordinated transfer of artificial wealth from the West to China is ending. As go European property prices, so goes the Chinese military. The latter, in particular, faces the demand to use it or lose it, so now is the most perilous time since Mao, his grip on sanity as fragile then as that of Xi now. The ECB and European governments have made it clear that European currencies will be sacrificed to defend nominal values, which ensures in turn the end of the EU. The questions of Franco-German and Eurasian relations will return in force, and the wisdom of Brexit and foolishness of those who are sabotaging it will need to be acknowledged. The corporate media is not dead. Opinion and commentary have been rendered superfluous, but the process towards direct communication by institutions using web and social media is far from complete. It is fitting that the year ended with the death of Carter announced by the WSJ, leading to commentary across social media. The spiritual death caused by generations of playing the role of consumer is ending in the West, for now only in the US as it embarks on industrial renaissance, but the psychological shift is beginning to be felt too in Europe. This will be the most consequential change from geopolitics to individual flourishing, and allow a bridge for some to escape the smug complacency that has defined this century thus far. The next year promises to be one of accountability and consequences. Mesdames, messieurs, les jeux sont faits.

@Anc_Aesthetics This is marketing.

The UK, and Europe generally, not wishing to replace the monarch and aristocrat with the CEO in the public consciousness, has no call for the American mythos, and instead the highest success of the immigrant has been within the politics of socialism.

@JFFredrick2 @NakedHedgie That's an interesting question. My hypothesis is that the British empire, having come to dominate even the French, Spanish and Dutch through a coal-fuelled industrial revolution, learned a lesson when it was replaced by an American empire which industrialised through both oil and coal - conquer other lands and use their natural resources first. Since then, I'd guess a combination of Ricardian economics, global natural resource surveys and geopolitical considerations determine the outcomes we experience. The current opposition to Germany's importation of Russian gas isn't based on any doctrine of sovereignty, only a rejection of Russian opposition to US- or China-dominated global governance.

@GoodwinMJ "If at least 10% of eligible voters have signed the petition, the petition is successful. This means the MP will leave their seat once the Petition Officer has let the Speaker of the House of Commons know the outcome of the petition. If less than 10% of eligible voters sign the petition, the petition is unsuccessful and the MP remains in post. The outcome will be announced to the public either way.

It's about to become a lot more economically deprived. You haven't seen anything yet. Twitter Link
Since the financial crash of 2008, there have been two dominant methods of funneling discourse into distraction: 1. Deficits 2. Debt to GDP In the meantime, public and private debt has increased incalculably. Now that interest rates are back to low, but non-zero, levels, the focus should have shifted to the debt that has been accrued over the past twenty wasted years. While attention is on the UK, it should extend across the British Isles. Ireland is acutely exposed to a globally unprecedented drop in GDP. That will cause its debt-to-GDP level to multiply rapidly and technically, a crippling recession. The UK is now channeling all available income into servicing debt, and using every trick it can devise to maintain artificially-elevated asset prices in order to postpone major bank insolvencies being acknowledged. This is causing small- and medium-sized business to fold like never before. The dominoes are falling, and will continue to do so until the regime is honest about how much debt has been extended, who owns the debt, who now claims the assets and whether overseas collateral also requires revaluation.

@DrClaytonForre1 Once when opening a bank account in China, I was faced with a requirement for a national ID number, not my passport number. Blair had proposed that too, but I discovered that what they use instead is your national insurance number. Recently, I noticed one measure in the Bill that included a proposed amendment to hold a national inquiry into child rape gangs - the Bill also provides for a unique identifier for all school children and extra regulations on home schooling. Thirdly, you have a Government Gateway ID in the UK, used to access state services online. Phone numbers are almost always another identifier. Perhaps there are others too. Actually, to the extent that it enables more efficiency in government services, it can be acceptable. It should not entail being locked into a particular cloud provider, it should not be biometric, and there should always be at least one non-digital backup service. Most importantly, it should not be required for any services provided by the private sector.

One reason the efficiency savings being made by DOGE through USAID may be causing such a hysterical reaction is that this global neo-Marxist movement has reached such heights of absurdity, has become so laced with contradictions, that everyone involved knows the only thing holding it together is paid obedience. Once the payments stop, there will be no remaining incentive to play the ally and remain obedient. The constant talk of solidarity and comradeship belies a terrifying sense of insecurity, one well-grounded in the tacit but essential acceptance of all involved that each and every one is a whore.

@gzchenli @BaldingsWorld I'm aware of that strategy and how it was used in the days of expansion. What I'm trying to understand is the strategy now their economy faces contraction. There is no risk of Shenzhen departing from Beijing policy through a direct central bailout, so I don't see a better explanation for Shenzhen involvement than it having its own liquidity/solvency issues.

In reply to: gzchenli
@gzchenli @BaldingsWorld The alleged fiscal surpluses depended on economic activity funded by exports that were either being front loaded or are already contracting, central government and debt. The excesses were encouraged by Beijing, likely to funnel the proceeds into overseas acquisitions and military expansion. The Chinese consumer didn't profit much. Now, the sources of funding are drying up, the debt is becoming more expensive to service and international acquisitions are being reversed or failing to perform. Having tried to pin responsibility on the CEOs they arrested, the evidence points to illiquid/insolvent local governments being next in the firing line.

@The_War_Economy Certain people stand out for the arbitrary nature of the positions they take, completely lacking any authentic, human coherency but reliably depending on the goldfish memories of their audience. Hitchens emerged as the 'libertarian' voice during the early days of the Wuhan coronavirus, while Boris Johnson played a similar role in his attempted Trump affinity scam. Hitchens, however, had previously been known for calling for motorways to be banned. He then shamelessly turned to shilling mRNA 'jabs' once Oxford AstraZeneca had a product to sell. British military intelligence will usually have a persona in position before the public reach it, but the cast is so small it can be very jarring to see the same old faces everywhere.

@EnlightBacon @zerohedge @elonmusk That sounds reasonable.

In reply to: MakeUrMov
@KnowTheShot @eugyppius1 I agree, but to get back to the original point: those who say Europe is doomed implicitly condition that on the premise that the attempts at Islamic integration aren't reversed. That's increasingly unlikely, and made more unlikely by doom-posters. It's similar to qanon: if the aim was to discredit those pointing to the role of paedophiia in military and corporate operations, the outcome was the reverse as people produced evidence of a genuine problem.

The contrast between Europe and the US in now extremely stark. This morning, Europe offers a new deindustrialisation scheme involving looting tens of billions of taxpayer funds under the pretext of decarbonisation and has arrested, perhaps having planted evidence on an accomplice of, the winning candidate in an EU nation's presidential election. At least the former is related to Draghi's communistic vision of Europe, and his 'industrial strategy' report which seeks to cement its place as a servant of the CCP. Draghi claims that "Europe’s fundamental values are prosperity, equity, freedom, peace and democracy in a sustainable environment." This is nonsense, and his only plan is for continued impoverishment and the protection of incumbents. Equity is only a fundamental value of those incumbents presiding over serfdom. A better strategy would be based on a true statement of Europe's fundamental values: Christianity, renaissance, freedom, beauty. Meanwhile, the US continues to take action to address real-world problems and build on its strong foundations to ensure continued prosperity.

The hypothesis that Reform UK is an "insurance policy" remains a reasonable assumption. The questions now are what will happen to what remains and whether Lowe will go to UKIP.

In reply to: ArmchairW
@ArmchairW The timing of this slaughter coincides with the failure of the Kursk offensive. I suspect both plans were conceived of in London, both enjoyed its vocal support, but I still don't understand the logic. Does Turkey really benefit? Was it designed as a quagmire for Putin?
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@ArmchairW I'll attempt to answer: - only 4% of Turkey's three million Syrian refugees have returned, it isn't clear how many of those left again; - Israel was not able to focus on Gaza and Lebanon, was drawn into greater conflict but did take some land; - the HTS regime is less aligned with Russia and perhaps Iran than Assad was; - EU sanctions were lifted two weeks ago, benefitting HTS and its suppliers; - current events seem to be eliminating any support base awaiting a return of Assad. Ironically, the most likely explanation is that these events are designed to dissuade Russia from involving Assad/Syria in peace talks with the US and eventually NATO.
Perhaps someone could establish whether the ongoing massacres in Syria are being paid for by Europeans, and are considered to further UK/EU interests? Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV
This also explains Europe's refusal to grant asylum to Syria's Christian population. Unlike the extremist jihadis who were welcomed, Syrian Christians were liable to re-elect Assad or be sympathetic to Russia. Therefore, Europe's policy appears to be for HTS/AQ/ISIS to murder them, along with the Alawites and other minorities, on site while sharing video evidence.
In reply to: InterrogativeV
Finally, this may provide some insight into the question of whether the imported jihadis are in Europe to kill the native population or to be used as anti-Russian mercenaries in WWIII. The answer it suggests is that, if a native European is not aggressively anti-Russia and seen to be so, then he/she will be a 'legitimate target' for the jihadis, but primary motivations vary between leadership and rank and file.
In reply to: InterrogativeV
I had also been wondering for some time what lay behind the sudden switch in women's fashion from provocatively sexual to asexual boxes. At this point, the most likely answer is that Von Der Leyen and Lagarde got someone on a call with LVMH, Inditex and H&M and asked for help with the rape stats. The underlying problem couldn't be addressed because "AQ is on our side in Syria" and in turn, because Russian sovereignty has been an obstacle to China-led global communism. Twitter Link

In reply to: TheSocialWar1
@TheSocialWar1 @zerohedge I don't think it's about achieving growth, with the exception of the conquest of Russia as its raison d'être.

Betapack S.A.U., owned by Alantra Private Equity, a Madrid-based part of Alantra Group, is also the third-largest supplier of caps for bottled water in the EU market. Thus, the Von Der Leyen regime is forcing every EU citizen and visitor to perform regular unpaid labour and the profits go to, among others but significantly, Alantra Group, Madrid.

@TFL1728 Another relevant dynamic is that while the US announces major inbound investment almost daily, Europe is now being forced to sacrifice its car industry to prop up Xi's gambit on EVs.

Wouldn't it make sense for the EU to sell Treasuries first, rather than sacrifice its only competitive industry? Twitter Link Twitter Link

It seems they have their little crows around now, and that's why they get more defensive and take more risks. Magnificent creatures altogether.

In reply to: CGasparino
@CGasparino @Harvard Does this mean the margin for a leveraged position is close to 40% of the endowment, and so the total value of the position is much more? Or does it mean that the total value of the position equals close to 40%? Are PE companies underwriting the leveraged position, or are they the beneficiaries of a leveraged position underwritten by others? Are the alleged stock sales to raise funds for the leveraged PE position, or to pay future taxes? Why would Harvard be facing a cash crunch? Has it perhaps invested in a jurisdiction that has since imposed strict capital controls? The post is not very clear. It reads more like an attempt to gain leverage in its negotiation with the administration than an attempt to convey Harvard's financial situation.

@kelpylogan @ThaBolder @billymac196975 @goddeketal I'm aware of that argument, yes, but the weight restrictions still allow for the heavy bags to be handled, the worker protection being based on labels. The question remains as to why the financial penalty applies to the luggage and not to the fat people.
In reply to: kelpylogan
@kelpylogan @ThaBolder @billymac196975 @goddeketal That doesn't resolve the issue. Even if two people arrive to lift only the heavy luggage, which I've never seen in practice, the total weight and the total costs are distributed in a way that punishes healthy people and rewards fat people.
In reply to: EricLDaugh
@EricLDaugh It's also consistently the highest standard of rhetoric across campaign speeches, interviews, and short- and long-form writing.
In reply to: kelpylogan
@kelpylogan @ThaBolder @billymac196975 @goddeketal Because the costs for the total weight are distributed unevenly, with the costs borne more by people with heavy luggage including thin, healthy people. The fat people, not facing a penalty, are thereby receiving a relative reward. Further, the fat people spill out of their seat into the seats of the healthy people, which is a disgusting experience to which to be subjected. There is another related issue, which is that the job of baggage handler is not suitable for weak men and almost any woman. It requires strength to avoid strains. But discrimination law prevents this reasonable, desirable form of discrimination being imposed.

Working at Alibaba Group when React and Angular were becoming popular, I was struck by the absence of interest in open-source code. These days, I'm struck by the state-approved interest in RISC-V and open-source software and hardware generally. In the interim, the CCP was forced to tolerate crypto, likely as an attack vector on Bitcoin, and through that medium many Chinese developers found an incentive to work in an open-source environment. That's certainly a Good Thing, but it's important to remember that this is the Hundred Flowers phase of the communist approach to emerging phenomena. My expectation is that, in time, its approach to open-source will close again via state approval mechanisms. It's reasonable to support the Hundred Flowers moment but with a preference that it be funded by domestic consumption and watched with a wary eye.
In reply to: InterrogativeV
It's perhaps worth mentioning again that at that time, much of Alibaba Group's work was done on bootleg Windows. Pirated software was stored on a corporate server for download by any staff member. Had Bill Gates, Microsoft and others been serious about IP protection during the early 20th century, open-source development could have benefitted from the undoubted talents China was producing. In the event, China's attention was focussed on the production and consumption of bootlegs, and it took the incentive of crypto to force change.

Another poor decision. They'll come back to the negotiations later from an even weaker position, if the regime survives at all. The Soros/Obama/Biden regime's policy of building Iranian strength is what caused this, and as in other domains that legacy is quickly being undone. Twitter Link

@GraduatedBen I would think Switzerland's particularity is due to a consensus similar to that which makes Puebla or Merida relatively safe, neutral territory. Switzerland has offered middle ground between the Romans and the Teutonics, the French and the Germans. Something of a no-man's-land. It's a sign of conflictual diversity in need of a stable equilibrium that places like these exist, but for every Switzerland, you'll find a Northern Ireland. Even the Alsace question remains open.
In reply to: Don38572925
@Don38572925 @GraduatedBen I've never heard of a philosophy that explicitly asserts culture doesn't matter. It would be a foolish undertaking to delineate one. The significance of race depends on the context, notably whether it's an individual or group decision. But science undeniably presents issues that must be addressed. Religion and ideology matter more to many people than race, to many they matter more than anything. The question of the hierarchy of theology and philosophy was perhaps best resolved by the Sorbonne at its conception, but whether there is an inherent contradiction is itself dubious. Philosophy is not a method for placing one's self above the fray, it's only a love of wisdom to be maintained when approaching the fray.

@LokiJulianus From a non-USA perspective, there has been an unprecedented level of denial about President Trump and the MAGA agenda, a desperate wish for it not to be reality. Most recently, I noticed that with regard to trade negotiations. For some reason, many countries are betting on an extension of the deadline next week, even publicly stating as much. I suspect the EU and China are the main culprits infecting others. The passing of this Bill should eliminate those last doubts, and reframe the situation as one in which the only strategy is enthusiastically to cooperate. The alternative, Macron's strategy in particular, will lead to failure and resignation.

In reply to: InterrogativeV
It confirms Bessent's suggestion that there has been slack in the labour market, but masked by the provision of taxpayer-funded make-work. It should also provide reassurance to Miller and Bessent in their conversations with business leaders of the Musk/Cook/Gates inclination. Alongside the labour statistics showing growth in private sector jobs and a reduction in taxpayer-funded jobs, the evidence is building that this is a replicable phenomenon for any Western nation willing to embrace the transition. It will be reflected in GDP and sovereign debt yields sooner or later.
In reply to: chigrl
@chigrl @davidselko I think the Treasury surplus and low inflation are just as significant, and will allow space to get past any short-term volatility in equities.

In reply to: MikeBenzCyber
@MikeBenzCyber Do you think Maxwell is MI6?
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@MikeBenzCyber I would think it very likely. Either way, given her criminal history, her timing and the contradiction between this offer and her previous statements, there are credibility issues. That would also impact the theory that Epstein was simply CIA. All very difficult to untangle.
In reply to: ArchDeltaHound
@ArchDeltaHound Yes, nation states' relationships with private enterprises is another layer, or aspect, that would need to be untangled. But given that military activity is national or based on national alliances, military intelligence can't simply serve the interests of one or several private enterprises. More likely each private enterprise can serve the interests of one or several national militaries.
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@ArchDeltaHound It's probably relevant to note a similar likelihood of the other Maxwell, at the WEF, being MI6. But again, if the WEF was a project to reverse the primacy of nation states in favour of private enterprise, it could only aim to do so by strengthening the CCP and PLA at the expense of the USA. My guess is their goal was something like how IKEA serves as the unofficial Department of Interiors in Europe, but on a global basis under a rule described as communism or stakeholder capitalism. That project certainly seems to have failed.

@ArchDeltaHound Yes, another interesting parallel was around that time stories emerged of students in China borrowing money and being forced to create pornography as guarantees to their lenders. Given the hierarchical system there and near certainty of the lenders counting Party members in their ranks, it suggested a global system of illegal pornography being used to achieve the desired ends of the lenders and the lenders those of the political class, or perhaps vice versa.
In reply to: ElucidatedE
@GeneralSw1ft @MikeBenzCyber I would think much less likely, given that their actions appear not to have accrued much benefit to Israel, whereas they align very closely with long-standing UK geopolitical aims.

There is uncertainty given how classified it all is, which makes me doubt anyone who claims to know for sure in the way we've seen over the past few weeks.

A reminder of the Guardian article from April, 2017 claiming responsibility for the plot lies ultimately with the UK, going well beyond Steele.

This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added. Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said." Twitter Link

Lee asked for a show of hands to see which coin the staff supported. Given his expressed preference and Chinese culture, every single person raised their hand for his coin. I was the only person to raise their hand in support of BTC. I left the company and the industry shortly after, but if there's one thing I hope I shared with the staff there, it's that you can politely disagree with your hierarchy, even in a communist technocracy, and time will prove you right.

@arisroussinos That's long been true, but with Powell and Blair in the news along with the Clintons, all related to extremely serious allegations of crime, I expect some questions to be asked eventually about the intentions of the architects of the NI peace agreements.
Anyone who dismissed the value of the term 'globohomo', now watching as countries across the world impose homogenous censorship regimes, must now acknowledge it. These totalitarian measures have been tested, most notably by the CCP, but their imposition in Western states at this juncture is unlikely to reflect a simple desire to rule in harmony with Chinese communists. Much more likely, given the gradual dripping sound of information currently being released, is that the underlying motives for the censorship are shame, guilt, humiliation and fear. Supposing, for example, a Prince A and King B of country X who were both paedophiles, and supposing that evidence of their crimes was held by country Y, country X may claim that releasing the evidence would, at least, be unsuitable for viewing by children. Country Y may indeed agree, but not go as far as to protect them from justice or to impinge upon public discourse. Supposing many more countries and individuals were involved, spanning the entire globe. Supposing the actions extended to other heinous crimes, many being committed gratuitously in the pursuit of the public acceptance of some desired narrative. In that case, one would expect to see exactly the kind of measures being taken as currently seen. As citizens are faced with censorship messages masking vital information, they will be aware of the irony of the wielding of this phrase by authoritarian regimes: if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide. Fortunately, in the end, information wants to be free.

To conclude then, a respectful difference with the view quoted below, tempered with concern for those working in Bitcoin's self-custody industry. Trezor is already somewhat hedged via the ingenious Tropic Square, but let's hope it's an unnecessary hedge. Twitter Link

In reply to: Silexperience
@Silexperience That's not always a bad thing. The multi-sig sector has been very helpful to victims, and their self-interest has been fairly open. It's not a conflict of interest. Sometimes they do go too far, like when they attack high-entropy, single-sig models per se.
In reply to: BTCsessions
@BTCsessions Multi-sig is a solution for groups of people who need to coordinate shared access to a single wallet. But third-party custody has improved so corporations have mainly selected that. That leaves multi-sig vendors to cannibalise a market better served by robust single-sig models.

@mindslikeseeds @w_s_bitcoin @stephanlivera What matters is that before and after the exploit was introduced, it was clear that most users wouldn't input their own entropy. And nvk's investors and friends knew that very well.
In reply to: mindslikeseeds
@mindslikeseeds The advanced features created a veneer of credibility that underpinned the cypherpunk aesthetic marketing. Many people have stronger values than skills, or vice versa. The KPI was a maximum number of high-value wallets to then plunder, taken from the middle of the bell curve.
> BTCC Chief Operating Officer Samson Mow added, “We are the only company that provides customers with physical bitcoins that come straight from the block rewards in coinbase transactions." Same old, same old. Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV
Explicitly: - sale of insecure wallets, then shared with BTCC in Shanghai; - attempt to break fungibility with "pristine" btc not tainted by some taboo; - alignment with Chinese mining industry, at that time much more dominant. Coinkite/BIP-110 are thematically consistent.

In reply to: InterrogativeV
A github commit adding a swap suspension notice to Boltz is linked below. Its author is Kilian Rausch, @kilrau. Rausch was recruited by "Mow" in Shanghai to join the BTCChina product time a few years before I joined, when they had both departed. Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@kilrau In an interview with dergigi, board member at OpenSats alongside Ou, Rausch describes how he moved from a German automotive to a Chinese startup which failed. In that desperate context, "Mow" recruited him to BTCChina and introduced him to Bitcoin. Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV

It is unfortunate for Musk to have made public a relationship with "Mow" given his ongoing launch of the X Money product and its role within a wider 'everything app' design copied from China's Tengxun Weixin. Any attack on bitcoin self-custody would benefit him directly.

@kilrau As I was, both Rausch and "Mow" were employed by @bobbyclee, who continues to target a Western market with cold storage devices. Lee's brother is Charlie Lee, reputed creator of Litecoin, and both were involved in the New York Agreement that sought to take control of Bitcoin.
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@kilrau @bobbyclee Another employee at BTCC, Gerry Ho, went on to serve as CEO of Binance US. Ho, UK-HK, had no role at BTCC. He arrived and left and did nothing visible in between. Binance US would face the well-disclosed legal issues that are a matter of public record. Twitter Link
In reply to: InterrogativeV
@kilrau @bobbyclee Another BTCC employee, a Chinese engineer, told me he was urged to join the company's senior management team. He was reluctant as the initiation involved psychological techniques similar to the Scientology process, common under CCP rule via HR. @bobbyclee can confirm or deny.
In reply to: InterrogativeV

In reply to: adam3us
@adam3us Their influence is transmitted through their choice of service providers, assuming they aren't restricted in their jurisdiction. If exchanges or miners support a libbitcoin fork based on the anti-Core sentiment being seeded by "Samson Mow" and others, you will need to revise.
In reply to: aceofbitcoin
@aceofbitcoin @adam3us I don't agree with your claims about data stored on Bitcoin's blockchain. I'm commenting on the obvious error in Back's post and pointing to contradictory behaviour. Back knows this: had more invested in his mining notes, he would have more hashrate. Twitter Link
Your account appears to have had access to the Blink API in non-custodial mode. They claim that doesn't happen. You claim not to understand and indeed your account seems to be managed by r0ckstardev, another "Samson Mow" surrogate. Twitter Link
