Something's Up

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain

I’ve started the year with really no idea what to expect but some kind of chicanery and some kind of aberration. I don’t anticipate the economy or the stock and bond markets to do what they did the last time Trump was elected…I’m expecting a surprise so big that it breaks chasms and flattens claques. The first article I read this new year was Read Between the Lies: A Pattern Recognition Guide by Josh Stylman. Make no mistake, "reading between the lies" is a critical skill that we must hone if we want to to survive and thrive.

You can't learn this skill from college or trade school. You can only learn it by being curious, taking risks, by going farther and deeper than you otherwise would, by making mistakes (sometimes big ones), trusting yourself and doubting yourself at the same time, having an open mind and a closed mind, listening and not listening, and growing from everything that life brings you, letting nothing stop you or hold you back. You can only learn it if you’re humble, and humility doesn’t come leisurely. Humility comes when hardship is forced upon us and we realize we were wrong.

I saw a video about crypto that helped me better understand the history and scam that's going on right in front of our eyes. These coins are not really coins, but rather strings of computer code that have been ascribed “value” that comes from an economy that's held up by debt and cheap energy. This video goes through the whole bloody mess of crypto and NFTs, how NFTs fueled crypto, and how celebrities were paid handsomely for promoting all this crap. It's by far the best I've seen on the matter and confirms my hypothesis that Bitcoin is truly the greatest con in history.

I saw another video (below) with a clip that shows RFK Jr. strongly supports Bitcoin as a strategic U.S. reserve. Trump supporting crypto was my first big disappointment, but RFK? Hearing his speech got me thinking more about the criminal nature of what's transpiring, and I'm feeling quite disappointed. This is because there's no way that crypto is not a scam, and there's no way it can be sustainable. So I don't trust the new administration any more than I did the last one. I'm forced to believe they are either stupid, conned, careless, or complicit, to be involved in a pump and dump scheme. This has killed any hope I had in them as heroes.

Something isn't right in this whole big mess. After all, they can't really be that stupid, can they? They can't possibly believe in U.S. hegemony driven by debt and scams and unlimited cheap energy? Don’t they understand the basic principles of supply and demand, credit and debt, abundance and scarcity? Maybe crypto was designed to keep dollar hegemony strong, now that the petrodollar is going away. Maybe, as they discuss below, it's a way for the Blob to grab real land and resources for free. The petrodollar that rose in the 1970s covertly replaced the gold-backed dollar from 1944, so perhaps crypto is the final stage of the financial reset where people get bagged. If the book mentioned below is of interest to you, the audio version is available for free..

Unless there’s a mysterious "event" before the inauguration to stop Trump and the new administration from properly taking office, I'm inclined to believe the new administration is part of the same plan for the financial reset, and this reset is getting close to being launched. We will likely never know, but Bitcoin could have easily been a PSYOP and the money and censorship behind it could have been the Deep State. From Covid to the gene-editing vaccines to the Russian-Ukrainian War (which seems like a money laundering scheme) to more wars to the next narrative...what's it going to be? What's really going on here with one narrative after another on our way to financial ruin? I'm listening and watching.
