While the whole Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota is brutal, it seems like a shiny object to distract people from the deeper problems our country faces.
The amount of fraud at the Fed, on Wall Street, at the Pentagon, etc is exponentially higher and more damaging. The amount of criminality and violence perpetuated by Intelligence is far more negative than the illegal immigrant fraud schemes.
My guess is that Trump and Co will use the Federal government to bully the State governments and create division based on race, religion and politics. You will start to see the Red Feds attack the Blue States and create a civil war atmosphere. Meanwhile the Fed and Wall Street will continue to asset strip our country. Intelligence run media will narrate the whole thing and pit us against each other.
God be with us. These people are brilliant with their deceptions and there is no bottom to their treachery.
In a fiat dominated world, having integrity becomes a major liability.
Look at the fraud, deceit, lies, war, and violence around the world that props up the fiat ponzi scheme.
Bitcoin's promise is that it enables honest and hardworking individuals to live a decent life without abandoning their dignity.
Bitcoin is a way of life suitable for creative, high agency, high integrity people.
2026 resolution: Nostr only.
This is the Victims of Communism Memorial.
Most people visit Washington, DC and never see it. It's easy to miss because it's small and tucked away on New Jersey Ave next to Georgetown Law, several blocks away from The Mall.
It is dedicated "To the more than one hundred million victims of communism and to those who love liberty."
Yesterday, a new mayor was inaugurated in New York City who promised to "replace rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."
Collectivist ideology is un-American and leads to totalitarian dictatorship. It is easy to paint "individualism" as selfish. But what the new mayor fails to understand is that individualism is about liberty. And liberty is what America is all about. It always has been and it always will be.
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
It is time for Americans to remember that we have inalienable rights, endowed upon us by God. Among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
God bless America.


Hell yeah

At least 90% of government operates like the State of Minnesota, that's why 90% of people are feeling the squeeze right now


If this doesn't wake up the masses, I don't know what will.


It's is very easy to get people using Bitcoin if you offer them delicious burgers, dogs, fries, wings and beers, then offer them a 21% discount if they pay with Bitcoin.
I think we cracked the code @PUBKEY

To all the FUDsters out there, I say:
Go FUD yourself.
GM everyone.
I believe the most effective orange pilling technique is to build incredible things and stack corn.
Show don't tell. Others will follow your lead.

The external world is one big PSYOP. How is one to respond?
Run your own PSYOP on yourself.
Write your own programming.
Fill your mind, body, and spirit with whatever gives you strength, courage, wisdom, love, and light.
You do that and the external world CAN'T TOUCH YOU. You become unbreakable. Their PSYOPS bounce off of you like a bullet bounces off of Superman.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you."
Easy to forget this Truth, but important to remind ourselves from time to time.
YOU ARE THE HERO IN YOUR OWN LIFE.

2026 is winning time.
