PayPal, Bail-Ins, & The Necessity For Trustless Money

Sure enough, the URL to the updated AUP was under the paypalobjects.com domain, which anybody in our business knows is real.
The document appeared to have been a PDF version of the forthcoming new AUP which was due to roll out in early November. It has since been replaced by the blank page however the original is still available via Archive.org

“It’s a bell that can’t be un-rung”.
I’ll tell you a couple other bells that can’t be un-rung:
When the Canadian government unilaterally seized bank accounts of not only the truckers who protested vaccine mandates in Ottawa (most of which are now gone anyway), but also designated the accounts of citizens who legally donated via GoFundMe or GiveSendGo as targets (sourced from a spreadsheet that somebody hacked from a third-party website, btw), that was a bell that can’t be un-rung.
*** and ***
The bells have been ringing for awhile:
In 2013, during the banking crisis in Cyprus, the first “bail-in” was enacted, when depositors’ savings were confiscated from their bank accounts to recapitalize a banking system that had over-leveraged itself through excessive bad debts to zombie companies.
*** and ***
How much of your wealth is reliant on trusting external, opaque systems and complying with their increasingly one-sided, ephemeral and arbitrary policies, expectations or whims?
Versus, how much of your own money do you have outside of the fiat banking, Big Tech operated monetary system?
Because one morning you may wake up to find out that’s all you have left.
*** end quote ***
Certainly seems that one should have some “wealth” outside of the financial / banking system. That could be “cash”; although inflation makes that an expensive depreciating asset. Metals that could be used as barter. And, bitcoin, assuming that you have power and the inet. Interesting that in Germany, “firewood” is the new gold! Imagine not having heat or food in a First World country like Germany due to the complete and utter stupidity of their Gooferment.

Man who fatally shot Marist dad Paul Kutz fired 30 rounds: indictment
By Yaron Steinbuch
October 12, 2022 8:37am Updated
*** begin quote ***
Johnson, who faces one count of second-degree murder and two firearms charges, and Taylor are scheduled for arraignment on Friday.
The sheriff’s office in Fulton County, Georgia, issued an arrest warrant for the suspected murderer in July after he allegedly skipped court.
He had been scheduled to appear on felony gun and cocaine-dealing charges.
The following month, he was investigated in the Poughkeepsie area as a key suspect in a gang-related murder, law enforcement sources told the news outlet.
Johnson previously did time for robbery and burglary and was released on parole in August 2018, state prison records show.
*** end quote ***
Parole? Guess that system needs to end!
Skipped in July? What did the various State and Federal agencies DO to recapture this felon BEFORE he killed an innocent citizen.
Argh!

Ageless and scandal-proof: Chinese tech groups bank on virtual influencers (3 minute read)
Virtual celebrities are becoming more attractive to companies in China as the Chinese government cracks down on human celebrities deemed to be politically outspoken or morally questionable. China’s virtual idol industry is predicted to increase to 48 billion RMB by 2025. Companies like Tencent and ByteDance have spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing digital influencers. While virtual celebrities are more controllable, they aren’t completely immune to scandal and they are currently earning far less than what human influencers used to earn.

Five ideas that will reshape Capitalism’s next century

THE GREAT KNOWLEDGE-WORKER CULL
First, they came for the agricultural workers. Then they came for the industrial workers. Now they are coming for the knowledge workers
THE RISE OF THE TRILLION-DOLLAR TRUST FUND BABY
In the next decade or so we will see the birth of a new kind of baby: trillion-dollar trust fund babies who are destined to inherit fortunes that are bigger than the GDPs of small countries or the stock-market valuations of large companies.
THE NEXT FRONTIER OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: GENETICS
The West has understandably remained nervous about exploiting the potential of genetic science since the horrors of the Holocaust. That is likely to change in the coming decades — indeed genetic science may be for the next 40 years what computer science was for the past 40 years.
THE NEW ROAD TO SERFDOM
The great clarion call of market societies is freedom: freedom to exchange the fruits of our labor in the marketplace for goods and freedom to express our views in the marketplace of ideas. Yet there is a growing risk that we are losing our freedoms not only to a new generation of intellectual censors but to watchers who monitor our every move.
*** end quote ***
I couldn’t find the fifth idea.
But the first one is stunning.
If I was a “knowledge worker”, then I’d be very concerened.

COVID jabs: Pharma whistleblowers reveal catastrophic safety failures

Since its inception in 1934, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has had regulatory power to oversee drug and medical products manufacturing processes and quality control to protect the public from unsafe products. Recent research revelations from career pharma insider whistleblowers Alexandra Latypova and Hedley Rees, however, provide chilling information on catastrophic safety and manufacturing oversight failures for the still-experimental COVID-19 injections that are linked to the skyrocketing deaths and complications around the world. Dr. Michael Yeadon, former Pfizer chief scientist worldwide for Respiratory Pharmacology, has reported that Pfizer documents showed the FDA knew of the death risks. Making the…

Your shot may contain virtually no active ingredient – perhaps helping to explain apparent lack of efficacy. Or it may contain a massive overdose – perhaps explaining the high frequency of “sudden death syndrome.” You have no way to know which you get when you take “the jab” or get a “booster.”
*** end quote ***
This sounds like the CDC and the FDA needs to be shut down.
At the very least the top echelons need to be fired; possibly prosecuted for murder, depending on the facts that come out.
Sigh!
I didn’t classify this blog post as GOVERNACIDE because I can say for certain that people died because of this but it certainly seems an obvious possibility.

Joe Biden’s Energy Crisis
By Rupert Darwall
October 03, 2022
*** begin quote ***
The West is experiencing its third energy crisis.
*** and ***
This time is different. The third energy crisis was not sparked by Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies or by Iranian ayatollahs. It was self-inflicted, a foreseeable outcome of policy choices made by the West: Germany’s disastrous Energiewende that empowered Vladimir Putin to launch an energy war against Europe; Britain’s self-regarding and self-destructive policy of “powering past coal” and its decision to ban fracking; and, as Joseph Toomey shows in his powerful essay, President Biden’s war on the American oil and gas industry.
*** end quote ***
The USA went from a net exporter to a net importer all to be “green”. Like “climate change” is a real thing! And, if it was, that it’s not driven by China and India.
We have not built a gasoline refinery in the USA since the 70’s (or so I’m told).
This “electric car” stupidity is just beyond comprehension.
Hopefully the voters can start taking back control.
31T$ of debt should be a huge wake up call.

Several witnesses can be heard saying ‘call the police’, while one states: ‘Rob people and that’s what happens.’
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Police were called to St Thomas Street, SE1 on 29 September at 15.17hrs to reports of a robbery.
‘It was reported that a woman had her phone stolen by a male who was then detained by members of the public.
‘When officers arrived a short time later, the male and members of the public had left the scene. The phone had been recovered and was back in the woman’s possession.
‘There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue.’

I found this interesting in that the public took care of the problem before the police responded.
Hopefully the thief got a few bruises to remind him of the error of his ways. Glad that none of the “first responders” apparently weren’t injured.
“When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”
What happens when the thief is willing to use deadly force to steal, rape, or kill?

The SEC’s Reckless Crusade To Crush The Cryptocurrency Market
by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Sep 28, 2022 – 08:20 PM
Authored by Gerard Scimeca via RealClearMarkets.com
*** begin quote ***
The outcome of the SEC case against Ripple is critical in not just establishing a fair and just baseline for the protection of crypto investors, but as a test case in setting boundaries to stop overreach by federal agencies seeking to advance their power at the expense of efficiency. Crypto is popular and growing precisely because of its efficiency, flexibility, and vast utility in financial markets, benefits that can easily be quashed through intrusive and heavy-handed regulation. The ultimate arbiter of these issues is Congress, who must act, and soon, to help establish a clear framework to regulate crypto, and to limit the SEC’s power to occupy spaces where it simply does not belong.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but all the Gooferment ever does is impede progress.
Is an “unregulated” market “dangerous”?
No, let the buyer beware and let the “invisible hand” of the free market quickly and efficiently discipline bad actors.
No bureaucrats required.

What is the purpose of murmuration?
Grouping together offers safety in numbers – predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands. They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas.
“When the early light catches thousands of wings simultaneously, combined with the haunting rustle of countless wingbeats, it is pretty close to avian witchcraft.”

Abrams’ claim that a heartbeat detected at six weeks of pregnancy is nonexistent and “a manufactured sound” is false, as is Kessler’s claim that ultrasound detects electrical activity, not the motion of a heart. For two years, Abrams has urged Americans to “follow the science,” while Kessler has insisted that at his newspaper, “we deal in facts.” Both are laudable goals – and equally applicable to the speaker, as well as their audiences.

One would think that the Washington Post would fire any “Fact-Checker” that (a) gets it so wrong; and (b) inserts their own “facts” into the mix.

The Federal Reserve and Debt
Michael Hudson • September 17, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Well, the question is, why do people go into debt? And there are two kinds of credit. And this goes all the way back to the church theologians in the 14th century. Ancient societies didn’t have any different word for interest and usury. All that was developed to overcome the church’s banning of interest for a 1,000 years, certainly among the clergy. And then the European takeoff began. And after the Crusades it was obvious that some kind of credit was necessary to finance foreign trade. And some people benefited from credit, so the church said, all right, if you’re making a loan, the debtor gains from it, then it’s interest, then its mutual gain. And usury is when the borrower doesn’t really receive a gain but has to pay the interest out of income that they earned elsewhere.
*** end quote ***
Interesting distinction?
So what is our current scenario?
Taxes are theft. And, they are usury to the extent we don’t benefit from them.

*** begin quote ***
This is how their modern counterparts can say, in all seriousness, that they’re “saving democracy” even when they’re sabotaging officials who won democratic elections. In case it sounds like they’re contradicting themselves, they’re really not. They are democracy. They and their colleagues and cronies and so-called experts are democracy, and the stupid rubes who won’t just bend the knee to them and do as they say are the enemies of democracy.
Have a future in mind that doesn’t involve crippling energy prices, eating bugs, having your kids brainwashed, and watching central banks siphon away your wealth? Why, you may be a danger to “democracy,” citizen.
As Sam Francis wrote back in 2004, “What they mean by ‘democracy’ is nothing more than the system of dominance that came to prevail in the United States and the Western world in the last half of the last century. That system has nothing to do with elections, opposition parties, civil and political rights, or ‘liberty,’ nor does it have anything to do with political theory, ancient or modern. ‘Democracy,’ as the neocons and the President and most others who are enthusiastic about it use the word, means the centralized leviathan state under the firm and unqualified control of the managerial bureaucracy and those political forces able to influence it.”
*** end quote ***
Certainly not the old definition of “democracy” which was basically mob rule.

All It Takes Is One Hero
By J.B. Shurk
*** begin quote ***
No matter how dark things get, all it takes is one hero to push back. Heroes, after all, are not remembered for following the crowd; they emerge because they run in the opposite direction, often into known danger, and spur others to stop, turn around, and act. It is always the lone voice that inspires a people to rise against the injustices of any age. It is the stubborn persistence of the few who marshal real change. It is the resolute among us who peer at the raging inferno without fear. It is the wise who remember that every waterfall begins with just one drop of rain. It is the hopeful who can look around at today’s chaos and see clearly the opportunity for great change.
*** end quote ***
Who will it be?
Where are our Patrick Henry’s, Nathan Hales’, or John Paul Jones?
Joe Rogan? Dave Smith? Michael Malice?

How a 100-year-old miscalculation drained the Colorado River
An epic drought in the West is drying up the river. But that’s only part of the story.
By Benji Jones@BenjiSJones Sep 23, 2022, 8:00am EDT
*** begin quote ***
In the early 20th century, the US Geological Survey sent out this guy named Eugene Clyde LaRue to try and measure the Colorado River. LaRue started to see that, beyond the time horizon that we’d been measuring the river so far [a couple of recent decades], there were some really big droughts. He concluded in a 1916 report that the river is subject to big droughts on timescales of 10-to-20 to 50-to-100 years. It doesn’t just stay wet.
The negotiators of the Colorado River Compact — the foundational document for figuring out how to divide up the river and decide who gets what — needed this information. They needed science. But they came together to figure this out without LaRue. They sidelined him. They ignored his science that said there’s been big droughts.
Instead, the negotiators looked at a much more recent period [of time] that had been extraordinarily and unusually wet. They said the river’s got plenty of water to build all these farms and to build all these cities. They just ignored the science because it was inconvenient.

“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.” — Milton Friedman
In this case, the Gooferment was put in charge of water, and now there’s a shortage.
Totally predictable.
At the very least, if water had a price which kept rising as Lake Meade went down, the “free market” would have disciplined all the Users.
Instead “we” now have a major investment in Las Vegas for example, that is in a dessert.

The Deeper Dig: How to get a truck unstuck from Smugglers Notch
By Riley Robinson
Aug 19 2022
*** begin quote ***
The Vermont Agency of Transportation has an internal word for when a tractor-trailer wedges itself on the windy mountain road between Stowe and Jeffersonville: a “stuckage.”
And while they’re working on a handful of ways to prevent stuck trucks, it remains a persistent, vaguely goofy, problem. Earlier this summer, not too long after the Notch road reopened from its annual winter hibernation, two trucks got stuck in the Notch in less than two weeks.
*** end quote ***
Interesting that GPS is a technology that not only “captures” trucks but kills people who follow it into snowy forest roads or dry dessert washes.
Why?
As a “techie”, I know you can’t always trust the “computer answers”. Having worked on Wall Street, I have seen traders lose obscene amounts of money because of their spreadsheet error. Say what they want about the old mainframe COBOL programs, there was not way to “inadvertently fat finger a formula”.
We don’t know what we don’t know. And, that is our downfall.

Gun Rights Make for Good Manners and Safe Nations
By J.B. Shurk
*** begin quote ***
No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle, and no woman living in today’s increasingly lawless society is complete without the means and capacity to put down quickly any potential attacker, no matter the aggressor’s size.
Gun rights are women’s rights, but they are also human rights. No person — regardless of sex, size, color, nationality, or any other phenotypic reality — should ever be forced into a position where self-defense is not an option. Any person walking down the street should be in near total control over whether that walk will be his last. Police forces, no matter how vigilant or dedicated, do not supplant a civilian’s sacred duty to fight back when pressed.
*** end quote ***
When my sainted paternal grandmother was asked by a social worker if the rifle over her fireplace was loaded, her typically terse response was “weren’t be no good if it wasn’t.”
When the author wrote “No woman on the frontier protecting the family’s homestead was complete without her rifle”, I immediately thought of her as twelve year old new married woman with her thirteen year old husband leaving Germany dirt poor and eventually traveling the Oregon trail in a Conestoga wagon to meet and settle down with relatives in Portland Oregon. I never got the chance to ask her his she had to use that rifle. But I have no doubt that she would.

It’s hard to imagine that the USA disarms women in the hope that it makes them “safe”. It makes them “victims”.
Argh!
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Shades of Mengele
By Paul Dowling
*** begin quote ***
While many members of Congress preserved their own lives by using therapeutics, not all Americans were so lucky. On Twitter, Dr. Pierre Kory shared this “fun fact”:
Between 100-200 United States Congress Members (plus many of their staffers & family members) with COVID were treated by a colleague over the past 15 months with ivermectin & the I-MASK+ protocol at flccc.net. None have gone to hospital.
So, as Fauci promoted potentially lethal injections for average Americans, government elites received restorative cures.

So, the Gooferment induced Crony Capitalists to join in a conspiracy to kill the population for money?
Nuremberg Code required all “medical experiments” to get “informed consent”. Surely we never had informed consent!
Gooferment propaganda, amplified by Big Media — who got fat on Gooferment “advertising” money, killed possibly millions as surely as f they were loaded on trains to the death camps.
So who pays the price?
No justice; no peace.

Woman Escapes COVID-19 Hospital Treatment Protocols, Says Others Not So Lucky

*** begin quote ***
Over a week after Gail Seiler’s physician had given her a terminal diagnosis, her husband, Brad Seiler, wheeled her out of the back door of the hospital where she had been admitted for COVID-19 on Dec. 3, 2021.
“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Seiler, but you are going to die,” she recalled her physician telling her on Dec. 5.
On Dec. 15, despite resistance from hospital staff, Brad extracted Seiler from Medical City Plano hospital in Plano, Texas, where the couple lives.
Seiler is one of the few patients who has lived to tell her story about what she said she witnessed on the inside with COVID-19 hospital treatment protocols.
“It became clear to me that people are not dying in hospitals from COVID. They are dying from these protocols,” Seiler told The Epoch Times.
*** end quote ***
If you read this, maybe you will wonder like I do, if the financial reimbursement is the reason that the doctor / hospital complex killed people with a defective treatment protocol.
I never EVER want to go to the hospital.
I hope that every death is investigated like they do on the TV crime shows, and the guilty are sent to prison and their licenses revoked.
That trope about the witch doctor gets killed if his patient dies sounds like a good rule to adopt.
I doubt we will ever get the truth.
“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men played by Jack Nicholson

In an eight minute video, Bill Mahr destroys “wokeness”.
Wish there was a transcript so I could capture some of the pearls.
“Merrill Streep should play Sea Biscuit so every girl can grow up believing she can be a race horse.”
I’m not a fan of Liberals, but in this case, I agree with him.
