“You’re An Absolute Fraud”: CME CEO Terry Duffy Recalls First Meeting Sam Bankman-Fried In March 2022

Penn professor and forensic accounting expert Francine McKenna summed it up perfectly when she commented on Twitter: “Duffy went to Congress and told them FTX was a bankrupt business model and he was ignored just like he was ignored when he said Corzine knew he had used customer funds and knew where the missing $1.6 bullion was.

So why do we need “regulators”, politicians, or bureaucrats who don’t listen.

Same as Made-off and all the other Ponzi operators.

What a circus!

POLITICAL: The Democrats — Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus

Have the Democrats Destroyed Our Election System?
By D. Parker

*** end quote ***

They claim that their destruction of our free and fair voting system makes them ‘defenders of democracy.’ Do they also claim to be defenders of ‘basic rights’? The past few years have seen the fascist far Left attacking free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the right to self-defense, and the rest of the Bill of Rights. So, let’s apply the legal maxim of Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus — false in one thing, false in everything — when they also claim to be ‘defenders of democracy.’ 

*** end quote ***

It’s truly sad that the criminals have taken over “elections”.  The inmates are running the asylum.  And, the lunatics are controlling the streets.

As Tom Woods says: “isn’t it time for a national divorce”?

Sadly, yes.

POLITICAL: Democrat Chuck Schumer admits they don’t want any real immigration law

Chuck Schumer finally admits it: Democrats don’t want any real immigration law
By Karol Markowicz
November 20, 2022 7:17pm

*** begin quote ***

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made some startling admissions last week about his immigration views: “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the Dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the Dreamers but to get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.”

The honesty was breathtaking. For so long, Schumer (D-NY) and his party have danced around the truth: They want to legalize anyone coming over our border for any reason.

Schumer wasn’t always this brazen about wanting open borders for all. In 2014, he bragged that President Barack Obama was serious about enforcing immigration law and had “deported more people than any other president.” Schumer used to at least mouth some lines about securing the border when pushing for legalization. No more.

OK now the “Wizard of Oz” is revealed as a tiny lying man behind the curtain.

How does those who are awake and not sheeple react?

I bet nothing happens as the USA heads down the road to ruin.

GOVERNACIDE: Under NO circumstances should the Gooferment be permitted to kill anyone

Friday, November 25, 2022

https://sharylattkisson.com/2022/11/poll-over-half-of-americans-favor-death-penalty-for-murderers/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Sharyl+Attkisson+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=Daily+Newsletter

(GALLUP) Most favor death penalty for murderers
Dated: November 20, 2022 by Sharyl Attkisson

*** begin quote ***

The following is an excerpt from Gallup News.

The majority of Americans, 55%, are in favor of the death penalty for convicted murderers in the U.S.

While this marks the sixth consecutive year that support for capital punishment is between 54% and 56%, it is below the 60% to 80% readings recorded in the four prior decades between 1976 and 2016.

*** end quote ***

As a pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I don’t want the Gooferment killing people as a general rule.  In a declared war, maybe.  In an “active shooter” situation, definitely to stop killing innocents.  In the case of murderers who are too dangerous to incarcerate (e.g., a murder kills a prison guard) maybe.

Congress has the Constitutional power of Marque and Reprisal.  That’s different than the Gooferment killing someone directly.

Certainly the President should NOT be allowed to kill American citizens in a foreign country! 

Look at all the Project Innocence cases.  You can’t reverse a death penalty.

And that doesn’t consider the time and cost of a “death penalty” case.

So let’s make a life sentence for murder a real life sentence.  No parole; no compassionate release.

SECURITY: And why should I trust “PLAID”?

Thursday, November 24, 2022

BY EMAIL FROM COINBASE

*** begin quote ***

Hi Ferdinand J,

As part of our continued effort to ensure the safety and security of our customers, we’re updating the payment method linking system for all banks that support instant verification system (Plaid). Any customer bank accounts that support Plaid will no longer be allowed to use the older, test deposit method.

For those customers whose bank accounts have already been unlinked from their Coinbase account, we understand this may have caused some confusion. Your bank account will need to be relinked using our instant verification system to ensure your payment method utilizes the safest, most reliable service.

If your current bank account is supported by Plaid, but your bank was originally linked via test deposit, please be aware that your account may be unlinked in the near future to support instant verification.

For relinking a Plaid supported bank account, you can verify your account by entering your online banking credentials with the instant verification process – you may either complete this during a Buy or Deposit, or by navigating to your Settings > Payment Methods in your Coinbase account.

For more information on payment methods, please see our help center article here.

Your banking credentials are never sent to Coinbase, and are shared with an integrated, encrypted, trusted third-party called Plaid Technologies Inc. More info about how your bank account information is secured can be found here.

Why Russia Is Losing To Eukraine

The picture below appeared in Wednesday’s NYT with the caption, “A residential building in Kyiv that was hit by a missile on Tuesday.”

*** and ***

2022 11Nov 19 house fire

*** and ***

I want to draw your attention to this ===> RUSSIAN MISSILES ARE TOTALLY CRAPPY!! There is no debris, no holes or structural damage (other than a fire), … I mean, the missile wasn’t even able to shatter the windows next to it!!! Personally, I think it was just a regyoulah house fire. But, wtf do I know? Surely, the NYT wouldn’t print FAKE News.

The blogger has a good point.  A missile that doesn’t break any of the surrounding windows?

Laugh!  

But not funny.

RANT: Alex Jones is the present day incarnation of a Salem witch

Alex Jones Is Innocent
By Walter E. Block
The Daily Bell
November 19, 2022

*** begin quote ***

Does this mean we should be free speech absolutists? That anything goes, verbally, or in writing? No. There is a class of statements that should be banned by law and heavily punished: threats.

If I say to you, give me $100 or I’ll shoot you, or kidnap you child, those are only words. However, I would be a criminal if I seriously said or wrote them to you.

But Alex Jones did nothing even widely approaching such a statement. Yes, he lied about a tragic historical event. But he didn’t even close to engage in libel or slander. Ok, he hurt feelings. That should not be considered a criminal act. He is entirely innocent of the charges laid against him.

*** end quote ***

First, I’m not a fan of Alex Jones.  And, he has a First Amendment right to publish his theories.  And, I don’t think Sandy Hook was “crisis actors”.

But, I don’t understand how an FBI agents get 90M$ from Alex by any stretch of law or logic.

Hurt feelings aren’t a windfall opportunity.

I am horrifies by the tragedy.

The Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats failed the public in so many ways in this and other shooting cases.  But they pay no penalty.

I don’t see how Alex Jones broke “the law”; maybe common decency or maybe common sense, but that’s about it.

I wonder if this will go to SCOTUS?

GOLDBUG: When does the clock strike midnight and Cinderella’s dream world end?

The Upside-Down World of Currency
By Alasdair Macleod
Goldmoney
November 19, 2022

*** begin quote ***

The gap between fiat currency values and that of legal money, which is gold, has widened so that dollars retain only 2% of their pre-1970s value, and for sterling it is as little as 1%. Yet it is commonly averred that currency is money, and gold is irrelevant.

*** and ***

At some stage, the inversion of monetary reality, where legal money is priced in fiat, will change. Instead of legal money being priced in fiat, fiat currencies will be priced in legal money. But that will be the death of the fiat swindle.

*** end quote ***

Goldbugs have been predicting disaster since the 60’s when the welfare / warfare state went financially nuts.

It’s hard not to be a permanent-bear when the “facts” seem so obvious.

Nothing seems to wake up “We, The Sheeple” who are sleepwalking towards this economic disaster.

Look at modern day Japan that has a debt to GDP of 230%.  The USA is 124%.  This is pure insanity.

What can we tell future generations other than “sorry suckers; deal with it”?

What should we be telling people to do?  Like Casandra, the Oracle at Delphi, who could see the future but couldn’t change it.

If I was advising a youngster, then it would be to study and live like the Amish. Buy land, do some farming, bury some bullion, get a cheap education, minimize your wants, and prepare for the hard times to come.

Success for your generation is: (1) ruthless financial discipline — no bad debt; (2) a life long interest in learning — education — a degree — they can’t take it away from you; (3) a NON-OFFSHORABLE white collar job in order to save big bux; (4) a blue collar skill for hard times — never saw a poor plumber; (5) one or more internet based businesses — your store is always open; (6) a free time hobby that generates income; and (7) a large will-maintained network of people who can “help” you.

Like the Amish!

Argh!
