Does anyone remember the Bitcoin “20,000 Pump n Dump”?
It was only about 6-7 years ago.
Google “William Luther PhD”
.GOV sent William out on a mission.
Here we go again?
Yes or No.Naked “apes” haven’t evolved
First compared to a rooster, unfavorably, and now an ape.
What is with These Innocents and their comparison of the Goyim to animals, not just the barnyard variety?After Syria fell, why would anyone listen to Moscow?
Thank you for that point. The Putin apologists have been impossible the past week, treating anyone who questions Russian omnipotence a troll.
Seeing the online community – which is suppose to be on the same side – devolve into bickering over the Syria disaster, I wonder what it’s like amongst the psychopathic Globalists when they get bad news.
After Syria fell, why would anyone listen to Moscow?
Oh I don’t know. The US Military got its ass run out of Afghanistan in the most humiliating way imaginable only a few years ago, but apparently we’re still expected to listen to them for some reason.
Why do they call the image of a woman’s face a “Bust”?
“Public Housing Didn’t Fail in the US. but It Was Sabotaged.
A brief history of how America’s public housing experiment was designed to fail.” Vox…True Public Housing has never been tried. We all know that giving people things they never worked for makes them strong, smart, capable, moral, and resilient.
“US Intelligence Agencies Clear Themselves of Jan 6 Wrongdoing” –Armstrong
We looked at our crimes and decided we were innocent. Trust us! We’re good for it.
Armstrong also said, “Iran: When Will It Fall?” What do you MEAN by that? It’s Persia, it’s always been Persia, and it’s not going anywhere. You mean like we melodramatically say, “The German Government Fell”? Yeah, that sounds incredible to us, like a war just ended, not like a Chinese fire drill where we re-vote all the same guys back in. Iran will still be there tomorrow. Yes, possibly with a different leader, but HOW different? A little? A lot? Same structure? New structure? It expresses the same national will, so is it “different”?
“Hedge Fund CIO: “As AI Advances, It’ll Be Next To Impossible To Distinguish Fact From Fiction”
Too late. Already, Christmas music, listed “Harmony Sisters,” 1940s. All AI. Here’s another that was actually great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_9fYU8jd4 (Led Zepplin)
Okay, cool. Again, IN TWO SECONDS AI WON’T KNOW WHAT IS “Original Material”, aka “Human”, “History” and what is AI. We’re in this short, short, short, short, golden period.
Already can’t tell fact from fiction, for a while. But pop “Christmas music” on and all AI, as if bands as if noodling around in 1940s swing style, whatever. Made up human lyric noises are especially notable.
“Chrystia Freeland Resigns, Trudeau Panics.”
C’mon Canada, how are you going to be known worldwide as the 2nd foremost home of Nazis and blackface with actions like this?
“UK Govt Approves Sale Of Royal Mail To Czech Billionaire
Uh huh. Yeah, that’s what happens when you’re Bolivia, and a colony. All the profit from ordinary affairs get sapped out of the country.
“”Two-Thirds Don’t Work” – CDU’s Merz Says “Many Of Them [Syrians Living In Germany] Must Go Back”But only the Syrians. Now that we’re completely sure they will be killed, must deport. Before, or for like Somalia, you only MIGHT be killed, and we aren’t in control of it, so we won’t make you.
I agree with that prognosis of Syria. Not the “Master Plan” but also not “No plan”. Russia told Syria, you’re in trouble, you MUST do X,Y and Z PRONTO. He didn’t or couldn’t. Then Iran is like “This joker is not serious and is putting US on the line.” At the same time, Assad is playing with the West (Whyyyyyyy?) and not responding to infinite bombing from Israel. All these are expressed in the generals being bought off, with further decay. Iran gets sold out once or twice, causing even more trouble. How do you win a war when your own generals – even one or two – sells out your positions and plans so you lose to a foolish army of mere 5,000? Then you lose when you should be winning, and get sapped. Also look bad, bad morale.
So ultimately, Russia is a serious player, Iran is serious. They look at the chessboard and have a logic tree behind it. YES it sucks to have a queen taken off the middle of the board, but we just follow pre-planned paths: DO we get sapped by Syria, who isn’t serious, or don’t we? That’s it. This is big time, they can’t think or care about Syria from their point of view. We either stay or we go. So Russia can’t stay – Assad won’t do what is required. And if they go, it makes a world-breaking mess. For Turkey, and Israel, and the West. But they NEED Turkey to be whackd because with behavior like this, they have to go down. They are really and secretly the most major Russian enemy against everything, worse than Ukraine almost, certainly worse than the U.S., and after Russia saves Rycep from a Western CIA coup. No way. F– that guy.
If I were Russia, I’d take and complete Ukraine, then flip Turkey, which may take a while, and “Own” the straits. That’s not a “Master Plan” just a logical game-playing one.
“President Trump is looking at implementing all watermarked paper ballots, same day voting, and Voter ID.”
Again, he can’t. GFY. It’s the STATES who control voting. (I’m sure he can assert a lot of influence though)
““Starting on day one, we will implement a rapid series of bold reforms to restore our nation to full prosperity… Preparations are underway to slash massive job killing regulations, eliminating 10 old regulations for every new one.”
Well this is the plan, but events will overtake them and most of it won’t be done. That doesn’t make reporting on it pointless though.
“MAGA is the GOP says Retiring Mitt Romney”.
So we got them out and didn’t have to shoot them. More’s the pity but I’m trying to be adult about it. (They have committed serial capital crimes) What happens if we have a Civil War instead?
“President-elect Donald Trump does not have immunity in the so-called “hush money” case in New York, Judge Juan Merchan ruled”
Uhhhh. First, how do you know? Second: PAYING HUSH MONEY IS NEVER ILLEGAL. It’s standard contractual practice. So “what crime”? You have to have a crime before you can see if it’s related to his Presidency. It’s related to Federal Elections, however distantly? Yeah, then it’s related to the Presidency.
““A 2% allocation to Bitcoin from this pool would, in theory, drive the cryptocurrency’s price to around $900,000 per unit..”
• Trump May Use Bitcoin As US Reserve Asset On ‘Day One’ (CT)Yes, we can print worthless infinity money and buy limited Bitcoin. However the 1:1 pricing math is of course impossible. The RUMOR of doing so could drive it to $1M and it could drop to $70k again even after they’re buying. Also we won’t be able to tell the PRICE of BTC if the US$ is flying around, valuing up 30% or devaluing 2/3rds.
Everyone is pretty off-base here, according to how they learned their work. Armstrong says crypto is both worthless AND that it’s total surveillance, CBDC. Yes, sort of? But what if there are 100 coins (they also say this part is bad) and we get privacy by jumping between them? And clearly it’s not worthless, nor do I care if it’s “stable” or not. Is the US$ really “stable” either? And why would I buy a “Stable” asset anyway? I’m trying to buy assets that are volatile in the UP direction.
On the other hand, CryptoBois ignore all these perfectly reasonable drawbacks. Ignore all law, freedom, use, to scalp a Satoshi. Going that far is Full Ponzi and also would lead to an instant Techno Dystopia Klaus would like. However, life lives in the middle, never the extremes. If we go forward with a weaker central government and competing non-national currencies, we end in a 1840 America, where it was a mess but man things were built and progressed fast. Crypto is the “Bank-issued currency” we had there for a while.
“In fact, there is only one stable rule: no rules for those who make the rules, for those who consider themselves to be at the head of the whole world, those who consider themselves to be representatives of God on Earth, although they themselves do not believe in God,” Putin said.”
If this sounds familiar, I told him to say that. Then we can move on to WHO “does not believe in God” or religion at all.
“• German Government Collapses Just One Week After French Implosion (ZH)Again, a “Collapse” and “Implosion” really just means we have a Chinese fire drill where you all vote for the exact same people, but in different chairs. That’s an EXTREMELY mild “collapse”. It’s essentially BAU, Business as Usual. Meanwhile, arresting and outlawing AfD, the major party is considered BAU, when really it’s as extreme as the last step before shooting everyone and being a dictatorship.
““This is madness. It is like a state coup against our own industry. It is inexplicable.”
It’s explicable. Open your mind. IF YOUR EXPRESS STATED GOAL IS TO KILL ALL HUMANS, it’s working fine. HE’S TRYING TO KILL YOU. Has, say, the WEF, Club of Rome ever said such a thing in public? Oh, only every day? And while they’re doing it, still saying so Every. Single. Day. And you still deny it and are confused? Yeah, no wonder they have no respect for you.
“• German Economy Is ‘Unraveling’ – Bloomberg (RT)
Germany is approaching a point of no return amid a deepening economic downturn and political uncertainty, Bloomberg reported ““Zero growth”? If “Zero” means “Drop 20% per year compounded” then yes. We’ve only been dropping 1-5% since 2001. Okay, being useful: They can stop any time they want. Instantly. Just Stop Doing Stupid Thing™. Like doing Meth, stop doing stupid thing™ works instantly. Ask if “Stop doing stupid thing” is right for you.
What is this? Uhhh, after WWII occupation, the Brits said, you have to use Pound/Dollar and get impaled on Tribute. Germany said “Nein” and floated a solid Deutchmark. The End. Instant prosperity. Control the (Sound) money. So Germany GETS RID OF ENGLAND, joins with cheap Russian gas, ignores the West, and rockets to SciFi prosperity in 5 years. They won’t. I’m just saying that they CAN. All hardships are voluntary. There are no real problems, they just have mental problems.
“..networks like MSNBC and CNN are in a ratings and revenue free fall after the election [..] Both are facing possible sales at potentially bargain basement prices.”Makes no sense. Can ONLY be they are stopped paying for rating-rigging and fake bot views. So this was their level all along. Like yeah maybe a new 10% drop as election season ends, but like 50%,? no way.
“• The Disney/ABC Settlement Reflects a New Reality for Media (Turley)
NBC immediately followed, saying the Stephanopolis statement was true to them. So…sue again? And Trump is doing what with the money? That’s right, fighting more cases like this, as a charity. So you can sue ABC with ABCs money…and $1M from Steph, personally.
No self-awareness? No acceptance that they lost because the whole country hates their guts? No, they are backing up into “No apologies to anyone” no change, same as when Hillary lost. (Bc shafting Bernie, who wasn’t pro-war). Tim Pool is just inside gossip and clique-interdrama on his show with Kyle Kalinsky (ugh) but the point is they say “It’s because we need to stand strong! I Regret Nothing!!! Woke forevah!” And that 1) Rogan is far right when he’s a Bernie Bro and far left. …Or mid-left at this point. 2) Every single person on stage is a DEMOCRAT, so you might notice that THEY – the whole Trump cabinet – are YOUR people. You would have died for them just a couple years ago, as “My Party Right or Wrong”. 3) more importantly, they’re saying the Right won’t talk to anyone, are in an echo chamber, never listen to others.
Okay, new list, list of lists:
1) Tim and EVERYONE, ALWAYS invites EVERY Leftist for talk and debate.
1a) It’s that they don’t accept and
1b) refuse to listen and
1c) Refuse to also have the Right – what’s really the center or center LEFT, like Tulsi, on their left shows. That would be “Platforming” to listen to…anyone.2) All the RIGHT knows everything the Left is saying. Extremely well. As we can’t avoid CNN, ABC and
2a) Also have no media of our own, only media commentary and
2b) Also only pay attention to THEM, and comment on THEM, (like here at TAE)
2c) we are the literal opposite of an echo chamber. Our “Echo chamber” appears to be INSIDE the building and newsrooms of ABC, NBC, CNN, NPR writers who are 99% of RT…Again, the reason we do this is…well, one, they will attack and kill any actual Right News, banking and corporately. Erase even their Server banks. Unless they are a specific plant and controlled Opposition, like Fox and Shapiro. But because we WANT to talk to them, so we can have facts and logic and consensus, to bring them back and out of the Cult. Like…how are WE the cult when we go out and TRY to talk to anyone, everyone different? That’s literally the #Opposite definition of a Cult.
So as one might expect, when the comet doesn’t rapture everyone to the Pleiadian mothership, the Millennialists, having no end of the world, don’t notice and carry on. Like all these end-time cults. HOW that happens, I don’t know, but it’s very well proven and well known. So the ever-smaller cult, but dropping more like a downslope and less of a election-cliff, is still shrinking, but it still very well represented and strong defense within themselves. Like all Cults.
It does not please me to call them a “Cult”, it’s unhelpfully pejorative, but I’m required to be accurate.
“Global right-wing groups should form an alliance to combat leftist and centrist ideologies, which are turning the world into “hell,”
He’s not wrong about that. But the key marker of the “Right,” or even the “White”, is that they all backstab each other relentlessly. That of course being the #Opposite of what the Left reports and believes. No, there is no “White Conspiracy” to keep others down. White ALWAYS stabs each other first and say, Black or woman second. That’s admirable in a way, but it’s still #AntiMeritocracy and wrong. If that woman manager is the weaker one, she still has to go first. Or if she’s the strongest, she has to stay first.
Speaking of: JB – That’s okay: there were zero job openings for white men for years now. That chart only shows the attack moving on to everybody else.

“• Russia Warns Israel Against Annexing Golan Heights (RT)
Errr. There’s a total vacuum of power. I would. Why would they not? (Russia is giving them good advice for later, knowing they will do it anyway, get mired and destroyed, no risk. Same as ‘negotiating’ with the West in Ukraine this summer. He knows Ukraine won’t, so they can wash their hands.)
““[Türkiye] wanted [Syria] for thousands of years, and he got it… Türkiye did an unfriendly takeover without a lot of lives being lost..”Trump!!! Syria was JUST Turkish, Ottoman, only like 100 years ago, basically yesterday. Or correct me. I’m sure Greece isn’t worried at all.
“..Türkiye and Israel worry that today’s conquerors may prove ephemeral, and may soon themselves be displaced.”
When you smash things, big fields are opened up, like a dam being wrecked. No one knows what will happen next. That’s the “We’ll create Chaos everywhere” …the Devil tells the Empire of Chaos™, “You’re the Big Guy! You’ll be the only one able to contain it! No problem, trust me.” Uh-huh. Then Britain opens the Whoop-ass, their entire Empire collapses and is handed the the United States. Like, do I have to TELL you not to trust the Devil and that lying, double-crossing, murder and war will come to bad ends? They can’t help it. It’s their mental orientation down, not up.
“Would you Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”So they’ve cut down every law, every border, every norm…to GET to the devil? I mean, yeah, if you mean you clawed yourself to his feet so you could worship him.

After Syria fell, why would anyone listen to Moscow?
Many places have fallen. Places supported by any nation you care to name if you go back far enough. The Shawnee supported the Lenape, but then let the Dutch run the Lenape out. The question “why would anyone listen” looks a lot more like slander than analysis. Maybe if it came with an analysis of how hard they tried. How late they stayed. How much asylum afterwards. Counter offensive support. I might be called a Putin apologist. I dont really care. Just more slander. I try to apply transparent analysis to anything I want to understand. That puts Putin in a favorable light.This is probably a fair example of how everything in .gov works. Interesting read if you haven’t seen it.
With in the pages it describes how policy can be corrupted. Everything in moderation.Key Points:
Ancel Keys and the diet-heart hypothesis: Teicholz explores how Ancel Keys, a prominent nutritionist, promoted the idea that saturated fats cause heart disease, leading to widespread adoption of low-fat diets. However, Keys’ research was flawed, and subsequent studies have failed to replicate his findings.
The Mediterranean Diet: Teicholz critiques the Mediterranean Diet, often touted as a healthy model, arguing that it is not as effective as claimed and may even be detrimental to some individuals.
Saturated fats are not the enemy: Teicholz presents evidence that saturated fats, found in animal products like butter, cheese, and meat, are not inherently harmful. In fact, some saturated fats may even have beneficial effects on health.
Unsaturated fats are not always healthy: Teicholz highlights the limitations of unsaturated fats, which can become rancid and even toxic when exposed to air. She argues that the emphasis on unsaturated fats has led to the widespread use of unhealthy, processed vegetable oils.
Cholesterol and heart disease: Teicholz discusses the complexities of cholesterol and its relationship to heart disease. She argues that high cholesterol levels do not necessarily predict heart disease risk and that some individuals may even benefit from higher cholesterol levels.
The food industry’s response: Teicholz examines how the food industry has responded to the low-fat craze, introducing unhealthy, processed alternatives to saturated fats, such as partially hydrogenated oils.
A new understanding of dietary fat: Teicholz concludes that a balanced diet that includes moderate amounts of saturated fats, along with other nutrients, is the key to optimal health. She advocates for a more nuanced understanding of dietary fat and a rejection of the low-fat dogma.The link remove the space after www

They also warned him to increase the pay for the soldiers. He didn’t have any funds because of the Sanctions and because the Empire of Lies and the Kurds stole all the oil and agricultural produce revenue.
Syria was the hub of illegal Captagon a drug many in the Middle East are addicted to. Allah said they couldn’t drink, he never mentioned Captagon. The industrial-scale drug labs of Syria were one of Syrias last cash crops.
Funding army pay increases with drug money was never going to happen.
And Assad got close to the Arab League thinking they would bail him out instead of sell him out. Got seduced by the West and phucked royally.
“syria” will be a hornet’s nest from here on out, luckily the Russia’s don’t have it on their border, Jordan, IsRealHell and Turkey do. They them die the death of a thousand cuts.
Russia’s primary goal in “syrai” was to make it a honeypot for jihadists in one place, then exterminate most of them like coakroaches, which it did successfully.

Like a shopkeeper could get on the phone, ask their “protection” guy “What do I pay you for?” and someone would come down there and do something.”
So the shopkeeper correctly concludes that the protection he pays for to the triad (which actually prevents the shop keeper from being robbed), is a BETTER DEAL and sounder investment than the protection (taxes, fees and regulatory compliances) that he’s been paying to the government for all these years . . . . only to get robbed by the criminals that the government is actually hiring to rob stores and wreak havoc.

True Public Housing has never been tried. We all know that giving people things they never worked for makes them strong, smart, capable, moral, and resilient.You know what often does work?
People work, and work hard (whatever that means to the individual), and then are rewarded a little bit higher than typical “market value.” Public housing can function that way — especially when the quantity or quality or “market value” is hampered by things that do not easily change, such as: disability, responsibilities to care for other (children, the infirm, the aged,) education/experience, available transportation, etc.You know what doesn’t work? When someone who is hampered by challenges that cannot be easily alleviated asks for help and is turned down by family who say: “I have the means to help you, but I am not going to bother because if I help you then I am doing you a disservice because you need to ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.’” Bullshit. Said to a person who figuratively has no boots! It’s an idea designed so that those who haven’t experienced hardship can pat themselves on the back and feel good about themselves while ignoring the suffering of others. I found other family that did help, stabilized myself economically, and then slowly moved into a position where I required less and less help. Not all people want to be “on the dole.” Some people just need a damn bridge.
And — for any who are Christian — it is the same concept as the idea that all are sinners who must repent, do their best, and then Christ’s mercy will carry them the rest of the way. What if Christ had said, “Nah — if they can’t do it all completely by themselves then there is no point in me bothering to help them out.”
In a very zh sort of way, I pick up a note from a comment in the latest drone article, and rework it (’cause too few upped it!) for your enjoyment.
