Taylor Swift is an after-thought of what Cass Elliot left in history.
The term “terrorism” is whitewashed.
The 1500’s account by Cabeza de Vaca talked about how
Spaniards in early Americas would encounter an indigenous village and would immediately sic dogs on the oldest female in the village.
Imagine that for only a second or two.
They did this solely to “terrorize” people who had no idea they even existed an hour ago.
Terrorism is human psychopathy. And it’s real, it’s valid, it’s not something “other people” do, it’s an adopted mode of warfare by Sociopaths who need warfare.
Normal people don’t fight, don’t kill, don’t “terrorize” each other.
This is critical going forward.
“Killing” other people is not something any of us want to do.
It’s something we’re pushed to do by Sociopaths/Psychopaths..
Hey Bitcoiners!
I love talking about price.
But that’s all done.
Price is fiat, price is meta, price is how yellow feels if he had a good shit in the morning…
Price is wonking about technical data.
Price is delving into Central Bank bizzy bizzy.
Super A+ Wonderful!!!!
But here’s the deal.
There is everything we’ve grown up learning is money….
…and it’s all fake/illusion/rug-pull…
…and now we have Bitcoin.
Stop.
Breathe.
And know that you are all right.
The future is decided.
You can just relax, care for you and yours.
The hard work has been done, respect yourself, respect the future.
The typical “End Times” religions have seen rising demographics/adherents in the past decade or more, including major (very elderly) leaders in Congress.
“The Rapture” is a made-up storyline, no different to Harry Potter, but many old people have been captured by it. Nothing in the Bible ever spoke about it (it was made up in the late-1800’s by a fringe sect of Christianity.)
Yet many very old people very much in charge and very unaligned with modern society are very, very convinced that all that bullshit is real. They are us, believing what we were taught was real 20 years ago but was fake-news.
The 4th Turning is turning out to be a valid template for what will happen over the next 5 years.
End-Times Zealots are real, old, in charge and very focused on sacrificing young people for their imaginary cause.
If you don’t recognize them, that the point.
This.
Corporations will carry Bitcoin into what we like to call HyperBitcoinization.
Because they have to.
Whether your gramma uses Bitcoin is inconsequential.
Whether your insurance company, your electrical utility, your gas station uses Bitcoin is fundamental.
And none of them will do so if they have to be early adopters.
They’ll do so at a far, far higher dollar-value when they know it’s “allowed”.
This is the front-lines of the War on Bitcoin.
The people who control the narrative and the printer DO NOT want to let your local dry-cleaner accept Bitcoin.
So yes, this FASB ruling is game-changing, its everything minus a bit. It’s $400,000 Bitcoin today, at today’s inflation value.
The ETF is fun, but unnecessary.

Good theatre is better than the greatest movie you’ve ever seen.
Most live theatre is mediocre, I get it, I walk out all the time at intermission.
But real theatre, non-musical bullshit…when it’s good, it transforms you. You are left a smiling or a blubbering mass in the audience, you live with it for days after.
I’ve been a theatrical artist my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with how much effort it takes to envision, create, embody and then let go and forget all the work it took to create artistic beauty. The whole point of live theatre is that it only changes lives when it’s live.
And so many countless unknowable moments of life-changing theatre have come and gone in history. Literally 1000’s of years.
Theatre is more life-changing and ephemeral than the secondary arts by far, yet forgotten because ‘you had to be there’.
Go see live theatre. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, most of it is meh. We actually live in the nadir of live theatre…nothing that isn’t a famous musical, a former film or just click-bait pablum is being produced. Which is sad, because there is a tsunami of creativity in playwriting that has happened over the past 20 years that few know about or are experiencing.
When you see that one performance that eclipses everything you’ve ever experienced in a live performance. When you leave the theatre unable to shake-off what you’ve just sat through, when you want to discuss what you just experienced that evening again and again with the person you were with.
When that happens, you’re hooked. You need that again and again. “Movies” will be broken for you.
Also, tl;dr: most people who call themselves Artists don’t actually understand the fundamental need for Artists to be forgotten. ‘Ancient’ artists never signed their works. Today, all artists want to become a brand before they actually become art-worthy. The archetype of the Artist should always seek to be forgotten.
That’s a discussion for another time, I suppose.
In Aug 2022, for shits ‘n’ giggles I decided to do a quick-dive into a complete rando on the Bilderberg list of attendees.
I chose someone with a literal closed-eye fingerpoke named Mustafa Suleyman. Here’s what I found within 30mins of research:
“Born in August 1984, Mustafa Suleyman co-founded DeepMind Technologies, a British artificial intelligence company, in 2010 with Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg. Bought in 2014 by Google for more than $628 million. Deepmind aims to find ” the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.””
Now heads an AI startup called Inflection AI that seeks to develop software that allows humans to talk to computers using everyday language.
“Inflection AI, the machine learning startup headed by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and founding DeepMind member Mustafa Suleyman, has secured $225 million in equity financing, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The source of the capital isn’t yet clear — Inflection didn’t immediately respond to a request for more information — but the massive round suggests strong investor confidence in Suleyman, who serves as the company’s CEO.
[…]
A cloud surrounds Inflection, somewhat, following reports that Suleyman allegedly bullied staff members at Google, where he worked after being placed on administrative leave at DeepMind for controversy surrounding some of his projects. Google launched an investigation into his behavior at the time, according to the Wall Street Journal, but it never made its findings public.”
“Palo Alto, California-based Inflection has kept a low profile to date, granting relatively few interviews to the media.”
“DARPA says that the goal is to “evaluate and build trusted algorithmic decision-makers for mission-critical Department of Defense operations.” Dubbed “In the Moment,” or ITM, it focuses on the process of alignment — building AI systems that accomplish what they’re expected to accomplish. “ITM is different from typical AI development approaches that require human agreement on the right outcomes,” ITM program manager Matt Turek said in a statement. “The lack of a right answer in difficult scenarios prevents us from using conventional AI evaluation techniques, which implicitly requires human agreement to create ground-truth data.””
My personal take: Suleyman is a puppet for creating non-piloted drone software, which won’t be subject to human ‘hesitancy’.
Microsoft and Apple IOs are nothing more than technologically advanced countries.
And that’s fine.
But we need countries.
And even more than that, we need States.
The future of Decentralization is States.
I appreciate what’s happening with Bitcoin right now.
Also, as a parent of two teenagers…it’s bittersweet that Bitcoin isn’t ours anymore.
What’s coming is in no way what you expected.
Few remember Umbrella Man.
The covert operator who touched off the Minneapolis riots, igniting the fire-fest that summer.
This individual was approached by protesters and questioned, as he fled.
Again and again asked “are you a cop?”
100% was.
The summer of riots began with this Motherfucker, a covert agent.
“On August 5th 2023 a Japanese research team published a pre-print that appears to contain the most important and shocking revelations of the covid era.
Atsuki Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University, wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2 by studying viral sequences found "in the wild" and deposited in public databases.
In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes. The existence of these variants seems to provide definitive proof of large-scale lab creation and release of covid viruses.”
[…]
“The authors also found exact matches to omicron variants in sequences originating from Puerto Rico which were deposited in databases in 2020 - over a year before the announcement of the discovery of omicron in South Africa.
Coupled with observations of implausibly low numbers of "silent" mutations in SARS-CoV2 variants, Tanaka and Miyazawa argue that all variants emerging since the original Wuhan outbreak are unnatural, and speculate that they represent an experimental program to test determinants of the infectivity and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV2 in the global population.”

Jimmy is stating something worth re-quoting:
Politics is propaganda. If you don’t understand this, then you’re not knowledgeable about Politics yet. That’s ok. Start now.
Propaganda is driven by a narrative.
The narrative is to convince you to believe you are empowered.
Believing you are empowered, you have a ring in your nose.
That ring allows the Sociopaths in Gov’t to yank you right, left, any which way they choose.
The ring is always a ‘single issue’ that’s emotional.
You’ll always fall for the narrative. You can’t help it.
When the narrative changes, you’ll change with it. You can’t help it.
And you’ll justify charging right, left and sideways, as you see fit.
That’s how the game works.
And all the while, you’ll believe you see the workings of the game, because you believe you’re empowered.
Empowered by paying attention to the game.
Because you’re still playing the game.
The game exists because you’re still playing it, believing you are empowered.
Do you get it yet?

Whitney Webb is always insightful and fascinating.
One mind-bomb she drops in this sobering interview w/ Marty Bent is that The Rapture isn’t an actual thing.
There is no basis for it in the Bible or any other respected scriptural work.
It was entirely made up in the 1800’s by a fringe sect.

None of all y’all that I’ve come to love will really matter anymore.
