Bitcoin is *NOT* proof-of-stake. It’s proof-of-work. So having more Bitcoin means nothing as our species crosses the Bitcoin Singularity. Bitcoin is a global shift in consciousness and a step change in human evolution.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Michael Saylor says there's only room for one nation state to buy up 20% of the Bitcoin supply, and "I think it will be the United States."

Grinning like the cat that ate the canary, Hague fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu sat beside Donald Trump as the US president unequivocally told the press on Tuesday that the plan for Gaza is to permanently remove all Palestinians from the enclave. “I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza,” Trump said. “I think that Gaza has been very unlucky for them. They’ve lived like hell.” Asked for clarification on whether the Palestinians would have a right to return to Gaza after its reconstruction, Trump said the plan is to build them housing in other countries that’s so nice they won’t want to return. “It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn’t want to return,” Trump said, adding, “I hope that we could do something where they wouldn’t want to go back. Who would want to go back? They’ve experienced nothing but death and destruction.” Asked how many people he was talking about removing, Trump replied, “All of them.” Shortly thereafter, the president announced that the US would soon “take over” and “own” Gaza and oversee construction projects there. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,” Trump said. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings — level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.” Given what Trump previously said about permanently removing all Palestinians from Gaza, there is no question who he is talking about when he says he wants to provide housing for “the people of the area”. He is talking about a very straightforward ethnic cleansing operation, driven by the United States. Trump clarified that when he said the US would “own” the Gaza Strip, he did not misspeak. “Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land,” he told the press. Trump reiterated his previously stated position that the people of Gaza could be relocated to Jordan or Egypt or “other countries”. Of course the possibility of Palestinians living anywhere else in their historic homeland has not been mentioned, because that’s not how ethnic cleansing works. The agenda is to remove an undesirable population from the land so that they can be replaced with a desirable one; allowing Palestinians from Gaza to live in Israeli territory or the West Bank during reconstruction would defeat the purpose of Israel’s actions since October 2023. Trump repeatedly spoke of how devastated, dangerous and uninhabitable Gaza is, making it sound like the area was hit by an unfortunate natural disaster and not a deliberate and methodical operation to make the enclave unlivable. This ethnic cleansing plan is being presented as a humanitarian solution to tragic circumstances, when in reality the US and Israel destroyed Gaza on purpose with the goal of advancing the exact agenda they are working to advance today. This move is sure to be aggressively resisted, both internally by Hamas and by neighboring powers, even if the Trump administration can find nations willing to facilitate its ethnic cleansing plans. This means we can expect significantly more violence and killing in the region if this agenda moves forward. And it should here be mentioned that Donald Trump has publicly admitted to being bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs. The president openly acknowledged on the campaign trail that the first time he was president, megadonors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson were at the White House “probably almost more than anybody” demanding favors for Israel like moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and acknowledging Israel’s illegitimate claim to the Golan Heights, which he eagerly granted. Miriam Adelson, who is Israeli-American, gave the Trump campaign $100 million last year. And that’s the price of entry if you want to become president of the United States. You have to make alliances with oligarchs and empire managers who want very ugly things for our world, and you have to be the sort of person who is sufficiently dead inside to make such Faustian bargains. That’s why US presidents are so consistently evil; if they weren’t, they’d never make it anywhere near the presidency.

🇩🇪 Let’s get one thing straight—I’m not a Hitler apologist. He was responsible for countless atrocities, and millions of innocent people lost their lives because of him. That’s undeniable, and nothing can justify that. But still, the truth is the truth, and it’s worth discussing how economic power played a key role in the lead-up to WWII. A lot of people overlook how deeply economic reform was tied to Hitler’s rise and the Nazi party’s policies. One of their main goals was to break free from what they called the “thralldom of interest”—a system where debt and usury (interest-based loans) kept nations under the thumb of powerful international banks. Germany’s radical monetary policies, like nationalizing the Reichsbank and offering interest-free state credit, posed a serious threat to the global financial order. They even moved toward a barter-based trade system to bypass foreign loans and avoid paying interest altogether. Naturally, this didn’t sit well with the dominant banking elites, especially the Rothschilds, who feared that if Germany’s model spread, it could destroy their financial dominance globally. Fast forward to 1939—Britain gives Poland a guarantee of military support against Germany. Was this really about defending Poland, or was it a calculated move, possibly influenced by international financiers, to draw Germany into war? After this guarantee, tensions escalated quickly, with ethnic Germans in Poland facing violence. Germany eventually intervened, claiming they were protecting their people. What’s rarely mentioned is that Hitler actually made peace proposals to Poland, including keeping the 1919 borders and returning Danzig to Germany, but they were rejected—likely under British influence. Every attempt at negotiation was shut down, ensuring that war continued. And who stood to benefit from a prolonged war? The same financial powers Germany had been challenging. In the end, WWII wasn’t just about territorial disputes or ideology. It also had a lot to do with financial control. Germany’s defeat meant a victory for those banking elites, who later solidified their grip through institutions like the European Central Bank and the creation of the euro—arguably the final step in stripping Germany of true economic sovereignty. Again, I’m not defending Hitler. He caused immense suffering. But history is complex, and sometimes the uncomfortable truth needs to be examined.
Is that why he attacked Poland and killed millions of Poles?

I honestly don’t know if we’ll make it. I can’t say with any degree of certainty that truth and sanity will prevail, that the world will stop burning, that we’ll stop being cruel to each other and start moving toward health and harmony. Maybe our species is approaching the end of its run here. I cannot tell you for sure that it isn’t. What I can tell you for sure is that there is a magpie outside my window, and that my eyes are dripping with love for it. I can tell you I went for a walk about an hour ago, and the ground felt delicious on my feet while the wind caressed my hair. Maybe we don’t get to be here for much longer. I can’t honestly tell you otherwise. But I can tell you it’s very possible to relish each precious instant we are here. The universe will sing to you, if you listen. There are kisses hidden in the rustling leaves. There are galaxies hidden in the sounds of trains. We can live from there. Even amid the raging fires. Even amid the genocide and pain. Even amid all the advertising, the vapid Hollywood dogshit, the fast fashion, the phoniness, the deceit. We can cherish the world like a mother cherishes a newborn baby, even if we wind up doing so while watching it die. We are living in dystopia, but we don’t need to be living in hell. As fraudulent and destructive as this civilization is, and as all-pervasive as its madness seems to be, it is still built on the surface of an ancient planet which pulsates with primordial wisdom. Just below the superficial layer of the cacophony of human madness, there are uncharted depths in which strange leviathans swim. I’m not here to tell you we’re going to win this thing. I’m not here to sell a false and unearned certainty in a happy ending. I’m here to tell you that this world is one hell of a glorious ride regardless of what happens, and that it would be a damn shame if you didn’t appreciate it while it lasts. You don’t need to waste your life as one of those jaded, world-weary politically conscious people who think they know too much to be happy, and that everything is too dark and dismal to enjoy their time here. You don’t need to choose between being happy and being well-informed. We are engulfed in an endless explosion of miracles and beauty in every living instant on this earth no matter what happens and no matter how much we we know. It is only a failure of our own perception if we don’t recognize this. We’ve got a lot of work to do here, and we’re going to continue seeing some very ugly things happening in our world for the foreseeable future. It does nobody any good for us to let the darkness burn us out and exhaust us instead of learning to enjoy our time on this planet while we fight. I know I’ve shared this same message before in various ways, but that’s only because I see a great need for it. I’ve heard too many people saying they are feeling torn down and broken by the terrible things happening in this world, and that they don’t know how to go on. You go on by going in. By diving right in to reality, in all its burning, blood-soaked, agonizing glory. By feeling it all, all the way through, without trying to lean back and compartmentalize any part of yourself away from it. The ocean is unbothered by the waves not because it is separate from them but because it is inseparably one with them. Feel the pain. Cry the tears. Witness the suffering. Experience the beauty. Notice the endless eruption of love which lies at the heart of all things. Celebrate the magpie. Cherish the wind in your hair and the ground beneath your feet. No matter what happens, nobody can take these things from you. No matter what else the bastards might take, they can never take away your innate exuberance at living a human life on this terrestrial wonderball. That’s the secret to finding happiness in the midst of a genocidal dystopia on a dying world. Not by hiding from the reality of it, but by diving right into it without holding anything back. If you do this, you will find that there is so very, very much more joy, love, beauty and exhilaration in this adventure than there is heartbreak and pain. There is vast delight to be found in the smallest of things. Our minds tend to focus on what’s wrong and what’s bad, while overlooking how absolutely fucking amazing it is to be living as a human organism on this earth. This habit can be unlearned. The gift of each moment can be appreciated as it comes. Everything that arises can be met for the first time with wide-eyed marvel. And we can keep fighting in the meantime. And we can do so with deep gratitude in our chests for every magical instant.

Bitcoin doesn’t belong to any one person. But there are plenty who will try to take ownership of it. Why would you try to make it easier for them? Some narratives sound good on face value, but they are empty and designed to trick you into relinquishing your ability to decide the future of bitcoin. In this techno-dystopian landscape, we must all become cypherpunks. Both online and in the physical. I do not believe that knowing how to code is necessary, nor sufficient to see the mission to completion. We need a philosophy to guide us. The narratives lately have been lacking a cohesive philosophical line. So many drunk on short-term power trips and NGU gains. But these are short-term and will not win in the long run. I will fight for the bitcoin that empowers the many over the few. Privacy for the weak. Freedom to transact for the vulnerable. A way out for those who want it, but for a more free, sustainable, and egalitarian future, not oligarchic enslavement. I am not the only one.

Escaping from the matrix of the mainstream western worldview is like escaping from a cult: it starts with one tiny heresy. One small, secret thought that goes against all your indoctrination. Maybe it’s the realization that you’ve been lied to your whole life about Israel and Palestine. Maybe it had something to do with watching the mass media manufacture consent for the invasion of Iraq. Whatever it is, it starts out as a tiny little mental suspicion that the information sources you’ve been trusting to help form your understanding of the world might not be nearly as trustworthy as you’d been led to believe. If you talk to anyone who’s ever left a cult, they’ll generally tell you that it started out the same way for them. They see a sign that the cult leader claiming he’s Jesus might actually be kind of petty and egotistical. They find themselves questioning whether Sri Baba Shiva really needs that many Rolls-Royces. They wonder if maybe Pastor Jeremiah is saying God wants him to have so many wives for reasons that have more to do with what Pastor Jeremiah wants than what God wants. These little heresies eventually add up and snowball into an avalanche which collapses the indoctrination that was keeping them in the cult that whole time. It actually tends to play out this way when it comes to leaving any psychologically abusive relationship. A little spark forms in the back of the victim’s mind questioning whether the thoughts their partner put in their head are really true — and noticing who would benefit if they weren’t. Enough little sparks like that, and you eventually get a fire that burns the whole relationship down. Those are the kinds of sparks we’re trying to get flying when working to wake people up from the indoctrination of the empire. We’re trying to get those first tiny heresies to form in people’s minds, using whatever’s happening in the news at the moment or whatever relevant ideas are trending. We don’t need to get anyone to wake all the way up in one go — we just need to get the snowball rolling. One little heretical thought can be all it takes to get someone seriously questioning whether everything they’ve been taught about the world is a lie. So we point out the lies wherever we find them. Any glaring plot hole in the official narrative anywhere it pops up. Right now Gaza is a constant deluge of information and raw video footage that can spark some major heresy if it is truly seen and ingested. The way we were just told to cheer for Syria being taken over by Al Qaeda is another. The lies we were told about Ukraine and the events that led up to the war is another. Every day there’s something coming up that you can show anyone who will listen to you, saying, “See? Look at that! They lied! They’re lying right now! I wonder what else they’re lying about?” And it just takes one. One well-placed spotlight on one obvious plot hole is all it takes to get someone pulling on a thread that will eventually unravel the whole matrix of delusion for them. And once they’re awake, they can join us in helping to wake up the others. So make a vocation of being a serial blasphemer. Get people asking the inconvenient questions, and spark as many small acts of heresy as you can. People are only going to awaken from the imperial narrative matrix one pair of eyelids at a time, and we each have the opportunity to spend some time every day trying to help open them.

We do not yet know the motive for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But it would not surprise me if the killer stalked Thompson because UnitedHealthcare had denied medical coverage, or forced a family or an individual into bankruptcy, after the company failed to cover a serious illness. Insurers reject about 1 in 7 claims for treatment, often by deciding the treatment is not “medically necessary.” Among 10 high-income nations, the United States spends the most on health care but has the worst health outcomes. Americans die four years earlier than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. There are more than 200 million Americans who rely on private health insurance, but once they become seriously ill, they are often tossed aside, left with crippling medical bills and unable to receive adequate treatment. Exorbitant medical bills account for about 40 percent bankruptcies. Many of those driven into bankruptcy because of medical bills had medical insurance. The revenue of six largest insurers  -- Anthem, Centene, Cigna, AVS/Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealth -- have more than quadrupled from 2010 to $1.1 trillion. Combined revenues of the 3 biggest -- United, CVS/Aetna and Cigna -- have quintupled. These corporations, in moral terms, are legally permitted to hold sick children hostage while their parents bankrupt themselves to save their sons or daughters. That many die, at the very least premature deaths, because of these policies is indisputable.  Nothing absolves the killer of Thompson, but nothing absolves those who run for-profit health care corporations that embrace a business model that destroys and terminates lives in the name of profit.

🚨 MUST WATCH: Japanese Game Developers are frustrated at the forced ridiculous UN driven Globalist agenda compliance they have to include in their game. —— “Under the name of compliance…it’s like an absolute God…an evil disguised as good. There’s no such thing as content that doesn’t make everyone uncomfortable. Because beauty and ugliness, good and evil, are different for everyone… There’s this religious concept from the west, especially in America, that influences their approach to sex education. Their approach to compliance is very narrow minded…doing business with such a ridiculous country is really frustrating. Because of that, Japan gets negatively influenced. In Dragon Quest, you used to be able to choose between a male and female main character. But now, you can’t choose between a man and a woman anymore. We have to label them as Type 1 and Type 2. I really wonder, who is even complaining about this?” —— This is a common thread in games and other media content. In Baldur’s Gate 3 for instance there is no gender, there are also only Body Type 1,2, etc. Censorship like this is a slope that does not stop. There is an agenda to erode all meaning from life, where there is no man nor woman, there is no sense of self, and ultimately, there will be no identity left to latch onto, which will make people extremely docile, malleable, and in our opinion, ultimate prove self destructive for humanity. These types of censorship are Communism in a different package. This road leads to a Soviet Union esque Politbureau of an elite select group of rulers, and everyone else. This is not a life you want. Push back against censorship, don’t buy content that’s egregiously controlled, don’t use their talking points, support developers who push back, and don’t let yourself be bullied out of saying what’s right. Stay based.

This is not just sad, it’s sick as hell
A father in British Columbia was powerless to stop the transition of his 13-year-old daughter, and he went to prison for speaking out about it. The girl started to identify as a boy at school, the first year they started teaching gender ideology. The school then sent her to a psychologist named Wallace Wong, a man who says he’s transitioning more than 1000 children, including more than 500 in state care. Wong sent her to the BC Children’s Hospital, who determined she needed puberty blockers and testosterone. The father objected, so the endocrinologist sent him a letter saying he could be a “friend and advisor” to his daughter, but had no legal right to stop her medical transition. The father spoke out, was given a gag order by a judge, violated the gag order, and was given a 6-month prison sentence.
