Fantastic news. Bill Gates's dream of controlling the global food supply is collapsing in real time. Beyond Meat, a company central to his synthetic food agenda, is now virtually worthless. Its stock has imploded, and its $8 billion "future of food" hype is now a $79 million cautionary tale. Why? Because consumers rejected his ultra-processed, bad-tasting, overpriced "meat." This failure is a direct blow to Gates and the WEF's "Great Reset" plan. While Gates was busy becoming America's largest farmland owner, he was also investing heavily in fake meat, hoping to shift us from real beef to his globalist-controlled alternatives. The public has pushed back. Hard. The market has spoken: We will not eat his lab-grown experiments. We choose real food. A win for liberty and a massive loss for the elites.

Thailand: The Blueprint for Digital Control & Why It Failed Analyst Max Igan reveals Thailand has become a chilling, real-world case study for the dangers of a fully integrated digital ID and biometric control grid. The system, sold as a convenience, placed every citizen's financial life under one roof. The result? Totalitarian control at the touch of a button. • Over 3 MILLION bank accounts were frozen simultaneously, without warning, due to government overreach. • Every transaction is monitored; any perceived discrepancy is flagged as fraud and punished WITHOUT due process. • Victims are locked out instantly: unable to buy food, fill their gas tank, or access their own funds—completely removed from the financial system with no explanation. This has triggered a full-scale crisis. Panic has ensued. Retailers, fearing they'll be next, are now refusing cards and demanding cash. Public confidence in the government and banking system has evaporated. As Igan explains, this government overreach has backfired spectacularly. The people are now rationally fleeing the digital banking system, rediscovering the critical need for cash as a safeguard against tyrannical control. Thailand is not an anomaly; it is the test case. It is a live-fire demonstration of what a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and digital ID system will enable. It is the ultimate weapon of social and financial control. The lesson is clear: This is why we must reject it. The time to wake up and defend financial sovereignty is now.

Can anyone let me know if their are any decent private groups clients built on Nostr yet? I tried using Oxchat about a year ago, but it wasn’t anywhere close to non-Nostr private group platforms. Any suggestions?

GE. Many people believe the world is becoming overpopulated...the reality will shock you. In this 13min speech, Stephen Shaw explains how rapidly declining birth rates are putting many countries in danger of disappearing within a few generations. Reversing the narratives around children and population growth is urgent for the sake of our civilisations. Go figure, the major reasons for not having kids is economic. Thankfully, Bitcoin can fix this. https://youtu.be/F6KptpOuo7E?si=X-ZV0cr1OA50qriK

GE. Does anyone have the chart showing the many attempts and contributors to create digital money before Bitcoin? I need it for a presentation. Thanks.

I’ve listed my Danish furniture importation/distribution business for sale today. After three years of increasing worse annual sales here in New Zealand, we’re at the end of the road, having exhausted our investments including selling our bitcoin savings to keep the business afloat. We’ve lost the mass-market we need due to inflation of our NZ money supply, and without their purchasing we’re go continuing to go backwards. Last April, we sold our caravan and my classic motorbike to buy more bitcoin to replace so of what we’d channeled into the business. I refuse to sell this to fund my failing business, as I now believe I’d lose the business and the bitcoin. Without the hope the Bitcoin gives me for the future, I’d be in a very dark place. If we can’t find a buyer, we’ll have a clearance sale to hopefully sell most of, but probably not all the stock, before closing the doors and adding the substantial business bank debt onto our mortgage. It’s hard not to internalise my business failure and my personal failure, but I simplify can’t beat the money printer, and luxuries like beautifully crafted Danish furniture are simply not important when people are struggling to afford basic necessities. If we were able to hold out to the end of this year, our bitcoin savings would save our business, but without the mass market we need, we’d still just limp along. The knowledge that bitcoin will save my family and me, even if it won’t save my business is priceless. I’m ready planning my next business, which will be in Bitcoin and without the need for 300k of furniture stock. My wife, Karin and I have learnt so much from this business experience and while I wish things had of worked out more favourably, I don’t regret the endeavour, the valuable experience and giving it my all. I know these are ‘First World’ problems and I give thanks to being lucky enough to have these problems, but thank fuck for Bitcoin!

I’ve just gone to my Primal wallet and was slightly horrified to see my wallet balance. Better do some zapping to amend that. 😬
