I just web-searched around and found that the CIA is working on anti-ransomware projects.
Other than that, one site was speculating about Bitcoin being a CIA project, since it uses a cryptography method designed by the NSA and then we delve back into the cryptography issue again.
There has been cryptography algorithms that had deliberate weaknesses so the CIA could look into them, but those have been exposed and it’s generally not a good idea anymore since they get found out rather quickly these days.

Other than that, I did some digging into the Satoshi Nakamoto character and it’s pretty clear that there’s only person that could have made it and he’s clearly not a CIA asset from what I’ve found out about him. He clearly had a good reason to keep his identity as hidden as possible and I just hope he is still doing okay with the current political landscape that we have right now.

Because all transactions, additions and rule changes are done by consensus of the miners.
And the miners are mostly automated servers that say yes to all transactions, yes to all additions followed by the guidelines set up at creation and no to any large rule changes. of which the changes are already quite limited by the already existing blockchain.
So much so that when a large theft has taken place, either a fork is created or nothing is done about the theft at all.
And thefts have been made.

This is why so many alt-coins keep popping up, as Bitcoin is easily surpassable in terms of function/technology and it’s also why “Satoshi Nakamoto” decided to quit the Bitcoin project and went on to create another.

Tether on the other hand is a promise that you will get US dollars for the Tether you buy. Their transactions are not done by miners, but by Tether Incorperated. Control Tether Incorperated and you control all Tether transactions.

Is that an admission of the cryptography market or the cryptocoin market?
These two are not the same.

I’m not saying I know for sure that the CIA doesn’t have a deep hand in it,
but I do want some clear answers in terms of feasibility before I believe it.

How would they control cryptocoins when that stuff is uncontrollable in the first place?
I can understand Tether or Ripple, but Bitcoin and others not so much.

CIA owns tether?

Two can play this game. Just burn down the homes of these rioter cops and anyone supporting them, then arrest them for being homeless the moment they’re walking near a school.

My take is that, as the US loses power projection and allies, it will double down on these anglo alliances based on ‘shared heritage’ and tie them to the sinking ship. Some might break off and survive as regional powers, but for now they exist to funnel money into the American project. I think after the European Union suffers enough abuse from conflicts with Russia, they will start to notice they’re not part of the ‘elite’ AUKUS club and will start to call for cultural/political independence from the US (“hey, what are all these yankee military bases doing here, anyway?” they’ll say as America’s military budget deflates). But given how their economies are tied, it will become something more like a client state where they begrudgingly depend on the US/UK for energy and AUS for mineral resources, esp as their neocolonies increase trade with China. When the memory of the Ukraine War starts fading, they’ll probably start buying Russian gas again, minus their American contracts.

I’m waiting for Ukraine to fall to see people join my side, but for now they’re all going all in, even when they’re being told that they’re not part of their club.

Yes, they mean right-wing liberals.
But I doubt it will stay that way for too long.

I know.
I was just pointing out that the US currently is using more and more capitalistic cope mechanisms.
Their lies are getting bigger by the day.

That’s old, from 2009.
And you heard the old man.
There is no recession (or depression), only transition.
So now it’s transition dating.

Союз нерушимый республик свободных

Makes me wonder where wheat atoll and tank island are.

If it’s online only, just block them and report them.

I disagree due to it’s foreign policy.
US Republicans have no beef with Russia, while US Democrats very much so.

Most hated book: The black Dahlia and Catcher in the Rye. Stop swearing and stop whining. I can’t even get past the first two pages if you do that. Let me check page 50…okay, that’s it. Next.

Most hated tv show: Unhappily Ever After Loved ‘Married with Children’, this show was considered the same by anyone who didn’t like ‘Married with Children’ and it’s not. Where ‘Married with Children’ had a dysfunctional family where the wife had her reason to stay with her husband and vice versa and where only the siblings hated each other, the way siblings can do, this show upped the meanness of the wife and children and it was all aimed at the husband who’s only friend is an imaginary bunny that’s mean to him as well. All it did to me is say: “Stop whining and leave her.”

Most hated Movie: Transformers, live action of course. Not the cartoon movie from years earlier. Unlike Kommando, I loved the first cartoon series and so loved the concept. The interesting thing about the cartoon when I watched it as a child was how they were able to have an advancing plot and that was despite the fact that it was a cartoon specifically to sell toys and often adding new ones to boot. Since they were robots, they were able to get away with one-dimensional characters, killing off characters, including main characters.
This movie on the other hand, is the first time I walked away from. It was American Pie crossed with Armageddon, with color-filtered CGI so you can’t see how bad it is, which to me mean I’m trying to constantly move to see what’s going on, but it doesn’t help and then give up annoyed. I can’t for the life of it understand why people think they can enjoy vague blobs on the screen. All characters were less interesting than the ones in the children’s cartoon, especially the robots, who are supposed to be the main characters. Optimus prime, the main robot character in this movie had about the same depth as the least interesting side characters in the cartoon.

Least favorite Movie (favoured by most): Lord of the Rings trilogy Love fantasy, but not when it’s bleak. I do want to live in this world or it needs to have a compelling story to get invested in the characters. And while Transformers hid it’s bad CGI with color-filtered robots, this trilogy was color-filtered wholly in order to hide all the bad CGI and turn the sky blue-gray or light-brown. I don’t understand why people can feel invested in a world that looks permanently washed-out with grey skies and grey buildings and sun-light coming from angles that it looks like it was filmed on Alaska. I constantly felt like I was made colorblind and needed eye surgery to see properly again. Added with the dry dialogue, misplaced music, missing scenes like the death of Saruman and slow pacing, I could still watch it, but never really enjoy, because instead of wanting to walk away from the movie, I just want to walk away to a more pleasant looking fantasy world. The hobbit was a better watch, but everyone seems to hate it’s CGI. “Oh, now that your eyes are no longer impaired by the color filter, you noticed?”

Noticeable non-favorites is Harry Potter, but I felt already too old to like it, so I’ve watched only bits and pieces. Off what I’ve seen it was too fast paced. Jumping from one event to the next like so fast, I felt like I watching Fort Boyard. No time to waste what life at Hogwarts is, we need to jump to the next obstacle course.
Also, stuck-up Hermione seems an unrealistic match for Ron and would not accept anything less than Viktor Krum in both status and age.

And as for 1984, I only dislike how a no-dissent camera-everywhere London is compared to North Korea and not, you know, London.

Propaganda

My apologies. I reposted this arcticle from Sino who gave this title without having fully read the article. Just the comments, and “the catch” and thought it was okay. In the 100+ reddit comments the same criticism was deep down in the comments. I have not been able to find what the OP said, so I’ll adjust the title accordingly.

the USA public will have mostly moved on, because they have notoriously short memories.

That’s the part that’s not going to happen. The US is going into hyperinflation.
EU too. I live in the EU and gasoline prices here are already spiraling out of control.
I just walked past my local gas station. It’s $10 a gallon now. Last month, $8, last year $6.
No one is going to forget an economic collapse.

It’s literally not possible for a country that enjoys total control over its own currency to go bankrupt.

My apologies. I mean they’ll collapse economically. The US and EU government debts are far beyond danger levels and now we’re economically blocking the very nation that has the least debt and the best energy resources.

That’s not going to happen.

“The whole thing with Russia” is happening during US worst economic position in it’s history and with an EU that has run out of gas.
The sanctions are going to help Russia and the fact that they’re being done showcases an extreme level of arrogance, delusion and foolishness with not just the politicians, but also it’s media and civilians.
It’s Hong Kong 2019 levels of arrogance that we’re seeing today in the EU.
An explosion of anger with fading power.
The sanctions are going to bankrupt the US, Canada, UK, EU and Japan.
And Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea will suddenly find themselves in a China-dominated part of the world.
Once that happens, and once Russia wins in Ukraine, adding insult to injury, you can expect the US power vacuum to be filled with anti-US forces in all shapes and forms. Expect chaos, coups, civil wars and invasions in your country comparable to Arab Spring.

In fact, Ukraine is currently example #1.
Before this we saw US influence being succesfully resisted during 2011-2021.
Starting with Syria, Lybia, Ukraine (Krim), Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Belarus and then Kazachstan.

And if history is any example and discounting an invasion into Taiwan, EU will be the power that will fall first. Some country is going to get out of NATO and join Russia.

Great post!
Those poll results are eye-opening.

Considering how the fascist leaders themselves haven’t been exactly the elite type or at least not do not come across as such and with my experience of the phenomenon from real life, tv shows and education, I assumed they were in contest with the communists to accumulate as much of the disgruntled poor masses as possible, with both groups trying to convince the masses who to take up arms against, giving the masses the option to either ethnic warfare or class warfare.

But it seems for at least the Mussolini case, it’s more supported by the rich than the poor.
