If Bitcoin closed the year at 42069…. The Simulation is telling us it’s all-caps game eff-ing on for 2024.

I’ve always really respected the early-20th Century author Rene Guenon, who wrote very challenging and very intelligent works on what I’d term “Alt-Spirituality” in the sense that Alt-History is gaining acceptance. But regardless… One of his central theories was called “The False Return”, which stated that with the entrance of any Truth into the world, there will inevitably occur over time a degradation (& justification of that degradation) of that Truth, until the people will clamor for Truth again. And at that point they’ll be given a False Return that has the ‘feel of truthiness’ for what they want to return to, but will mislead most of them to even greater damnation. He said this process was to winnow the seeds from the chaff, so that the Truth could emerge again. Not looking to write an essay, just floating that thought out there. Happy Holidays!

All I’m sayin’ is you gonna beat down Bitcoin on an American holiday weekend, you’re fuckin’ around. And you’re gonna find out. Mark my words newbs.

I’ve been binging on, believe it or not, a “let’s play” pc game by a youtuber I like who goes by “Welonz”. She specializes in narrative/storyline games, and finds amazing gems I never would have wanted to play myself, and stays largely out of the way of the storytelling. This game-stream I’m recommending - for those drawn to watch something different yet compelling - is called “Slay the Princess”. It’s an animated storyline-style game, where every decision drives and changes the story, so it views like a story. I had no idea there was this quality of story-telling happening in indy pc-games. I found it fascinating, and disturbing, and haunting, and tear-jerking, and it will live in my memory forever. If I was a series producer, I’d get an option and a team to work on this asap. Fuck “Stranger Things”. This blows that away. If you’re interested, here’s the first “episode”:

US Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN) expounds on how D.C. runs on blackmail: “'The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington ... being kind of a young guy in Washington where the average age is probably 60 or 70, I look at all these people - a lot of them who I've looked up to throughout my life ... then all of a sudden you get invited to like, 'well hey we're going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes. You should come,' like, what did you just ask me to come to? And then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy.'”

A good breakdown on why the Julian Assange issue is important now, albeit 5 years ago. I recognize a lot of people aren’t educated on who & what Julian Assange represents, and possibly have formed an opinion without any research. I get it, we all do that, but the best of us shirk-off what we’ve been told and do our own research when people we respect ask us to. So this. https://rumble.com/v42zrlw-date-set-for-assanges-last-chance-to-avoid-extradition.html

Hugely popular youtuber “Physics Girl” was struck horribly down with “long Covid”. As a fervently science-based channel, it became one of the most shocking and painful examples of how Covid is not a natural infection, and not being treated as such. A new medical data-study proves that “long Covid” is a debilitating, but real, thing.

Presence of viral spike protein and vaccinal spike protein in the blood serum of patients with long-COVID syndrome

OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 patients experience, in 10-20% of the cases, a prolonged long-COVID syndrome, defined as the persistence of symptoms for at lea...

Also keep in mind my previous post from very respected Japanese researchers that every string of Covid is unique, lab-created, and therefore released into the population intentionally. We are at war.

Tried to connect a Zeus Wallet generate lnurl to Damus, and it doesn’t speak the same language? What’s up with that? Anyone know?

Student loan payments resumed again, and 40% of borrowers decided not to pay anything. Dems claim these delinquent payers won’t be reported to credit agencies, but I’d be if the agencies want that info they’ll get it immediately. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/18/politics/student-loan-missed-payments-november/index.html

Sometimes I despair. The forces working against us are sophisticated, entrenched, bureaucratically intricate, globally infiltrated and capable of undermining every individual human being who attains even a minor position of power or questions the Western World? How can we, as self-identified “Bitcoiners” really hope to get even a minor foothold in this corrupted, global organized-crime dominated system? I mean, I put a LOT of faith in Bitcoin, but I’m in the minority. And few even recognize the situation. The price doesn’t bother me now, one way or the other tbh. It’s the diffidence by almost everybody. I can’t abide the diffidence.

No worries, Ben. You knocked it out of the park again this year! I really appreciate you, and what you’ve done with your life. I’m also very so remarkably impressed with how you’ve handled these Christmas Sessions the past 3 years! The major issues were with the “platforms”, youtube especially. Youtube seemed to be, imo, seriously shadow-banning people, and I know I was one of them. I commented on this on Nostr before, dyor. I suspect these issues will continue going into 2024. Youtube is a zombie platform. It needs to be abandoned by all of us, and as of tonight, I’m going that route. Rumble may not be much better, but I’m done with Youtube. View quoted note →

Of course this is ridiculous, I mean the headline is the unbelievable storyline, right?: “Republican Rep. Tim Burchett claims conservative congressmen are blackmailed after getting drunk with 'attractive' stranger and ending up 'naked in a motel room' In the wild new interview Burchett, R-Tenn., echoed comments made by former Rep. Madison Cawthorn that left him essentially blackmailed by his own party Burchett explained that 'powerful people' who 'write the big checks' are behind blackmailing schemes to protect their portfolios 'They know what to get at,' Burchett said. 'You know, if it’s women, drugs, booze, it’ll find you' Yeah…sounds like back-page bullshit because, you know…”Blackmail” isn’t an industry in D.C., right?

After @BTC Sessions stream today (which was Amazing, so much respect for the man), I’m done with Youtube. I somehow got censored during the stream, no idea why, I’m not edgy, doesn’t matter….youtube definitively rejected me. And I didn’t even know it happened, because I was “shadow banned”, so I saw all my comments, but NOBODY else saw them. I had to figure it out by asking questions that no-one ever answered. It was humiliating. So I’m done with youtube. Fucking done. I want nothing to do with it. Any of my 170+ subs will be unsubscribed. I fucking hate this…but its been a short time coming, and it needs to happen. I won’t follow Bitcoiners on Youtube from now on.

I wholeheartedly want to believe But I often feel we’re not enough. So I appreciate plebs like You. We need the Best of Each Other. View quoted note →
