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. Does anyone have the chart showing the many attempts and contributors to create digital money before Bitcoin?
I need it for a presentation. Thanks.
Does anyone have a discount code for a Foundation Devices Passport?
A single cow can provide:
1000+ pounds of beef
1000+ gallons of milk
1000+ pounds of cheese
100+ household and medical products
And it only takes sunlight, water and grass.
So why is this the most demonized animal on earth?


As you get older, you’ll realize that a $30,000 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time.
A Gucci wallet and a Target wallet hold the same amount of money.
A $10,000,000 house and a $100,000 house host the same loneliness.
A Toyota will also drive you as far as a Bentley.
True happiness is not found in materialistic things, it comes from the love and laughter found with each other.
Stay humble… the holes dug for us in the ground are all the same size.
….and stack sats.
GE. I’ve got something to confess about that’s both embarrassing and very frustrating.
Last week I posted on a telegram home mining page about wanting to buy 2 x S19 XP’s to immersion mining and heat our pool and asking if anyone hade feedback about buying directly from Bitamain or their Chinese reseller Beacontek.
Someone called Sats4me replied I could buy them locally (I’m in New Zealand) for a sharper price through Rich at Used ASICs and said he good to deal with.
I was immediately DM’d by Rich at UsedASICs, (in retrospect a red flag) who said he has 6 month old S19 XP’s at the sharp price of $1300 AUD each.
I was cautious of not getting scammed, said I needed to conduct some due diligence, asking for his mob no and npub, but he asked if I’d like referee and gave me a telegram contact to message (probably him too) who said all he’d bought arrived as stated.
He didn’t provide me with his mob no or npub though. (Once again, another red flag.)
In retrospect I should have pushed for those, especially the npub, and a website. The social proof of the npub would have been valuable, but I felt I was being difficult and rude and he ‘seemed’ to be politely accommodating my due diligence checks.
I paid him the $2600 AUD, and emailed him the next day asking for the tracking.
I then checked my telegram chat with him only to find all messages wiped. It was then that the penny dropped.
I was naive to have not been more suspicious. Lessons learnt (the hard way.) 🙄
Not that it will probably stop his shitbag behaviour, but I text him:
Really? Is this how you make a living? Ripping people off.
Going through the motions of building trust when you’re really a fraudulent thief.
The fact that with Bitcoin, Nostr, Fedi etc, we’re trying to make a better, fairer, more harmonious world, but then there’s you, a lying fraudster scamming people rather than work towards a better future and trying to be the best person you can be.
You’re obviously intelligent, you should have more faith and self respect of yourself and aim higher.
I know humans can justify anything. How do you justify this cuntfuckery?
I’ll recover from this theft of yours and will let my wife know I’ve been scammed, while you have to live with your conscience that you’re a thieving, lying piece of shit.
Sleep well scumbag.
Anyway. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes.
Be careful out there people.
