HUMAN RIGHTS
The truth will set you free. But first… it will piss you off.
The corporate state came for human rights lawyer Steven Donziger – and we’re next || Via Salon
Lawyer who stood up to Chevron gets a crushing lesson in corporate power — and who our judges really serve
In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye:
“Rockets, moonshots – spend it on the have-nots.”
We need to heavily tax space “joy rides”.
#BlackRock is eating the world. World’s biggest asset manager saw net inflows of $75.31bn in volatile Q3 but assets stall shy of $10tn. The combined assets of the Fed and BlackRock alone equate 82% the size of the entire US economy. Add Vanguard with another $7 trillion and you’re looking at 115% of GDP. Fidelity adds another $4 trillion+ for a 134% of GDP total. Blackrock has invested over 400 Million in Bitcoin and probably owns more than all twitter crypto bros together.
Jerome Powell has a net worth upwards of $55 million. $11.6 million is invested in BlackRock. BlackRock is managing the purchases of the Fed’s bond buying program that keeps interest rates low, drives inflation and enriches the 1%. This is a major conflict of interest. So the Fed and two few hedge funds basically owns America.
What an absolute lie “There’s a lot of tax fraud and cheating that’s going on.” Treasury @SecYellen tells @NorahODonnell the proposed $600 IRS reporting requirement for banks is “absolutely not” a way for the government to peek into American’s pocketbooks but to hold billionaires accountable. This is not about taxing billionaires because there are already laws on the books to tax them. She & the IRS just choose not to enforce them. Explain to me how surveilling $600 accounts will hold billionaires accountable. Just a coincidence that $600 is exactly what a person makes pretax if they work a 40 hour week at $15 per hour? But please, keep telling yourselves they’re looking for billionaires. IRS admitted in 2019 they don’t go after the rich because it’s too much hassle dealing with their legal teams so they concentrate on the little guy – this just proves it. I’m transferring $600 back and forth between my business and personal account every hour of every day until my bank begs me to stop. Everyone should do the same. #BecomeUngovernable
How about the $7 million in “speaking fees” in 2019 from banks and corporations?? What did they buy for that price? Everyone knows “speaking fees” are bribes and payoffs!. All billionaires getting their balances down to 599.00 right now.

Prosecutors have been seeking information on Epstein’s relationship with Barclays CEO Jes Staley
An unredacted copy of the Barclays subpoena included in a letters rogatory issued to the Royal Courts of Justice in London reveals that prosecutors in the Virgin Islands are seeking information on the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Barclays CEO Jes Staley. The Virgin Islands’ DA reveals in a new filing that Barclays is refusing to turn over information regarding Jeffrey Epstein and his financial history with the bank, despite the judge in the case signing off on a subpoena.
“We can’t afford $3.5 trillion for child care, paid leave, education, and climate action.” This is the same country that’s given $7 trillion to for-profit defense contractors since 9/11.
When breezy, wear masks outdoors to prevent coronavirus exposure
“Community” is how we defeat the virus. In discussing fighting COVID with Texans & Europeans, I frequently hear “freedom” from Texans. The most frequent word I hear from Europeans is “community.” Texans think fighting a pandemic is all about what the individual wants; Europeans see it as keeping their neighbors safe. @kurteichenwald

Black Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn’t Exist. Almost Nothing Happened to the Adults in Charge.
Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversees a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, Tennessee, with a staggering history of jailing children. She said kids must face consequences, which rarely seem to apply to her or the other adults in charge.

“I’ll just challenge the group to one other thing: how do you know it ends at 21 million? You all read the algorithms? You guys all believe that? I don’t know, I’ve always been a skeptic of stuff like that.
HEY YOU MORON IT’S LIKE 5 LINES OF CODE – WHAT THE FUCK!
A common misconception is that Bitcoin must regularly check that the money supply remains under 21 million. In fact, there are 0 such explicit supply checks in Bitcoin Core. Why? It would be onerous to constantly sum 75+ million UTXOs. 21MM cap is implicit rather than explicit.
BOOMER MORON BY DEFINITION

Data just out from Cambridge shows the U.S. is now the world’s #1 destination for #bitcoin miners, beating out China for the first time. Meanwhile China’s share of global hashrate drops to zero for July 2021.
Bitcoin is now a world currency that is owned and controlled by no country nor group of currencies. It is owned by the world’s citizens. “The internet and the web were designed to be robust in the face of failure. That was key to their sustained growth: they were dependable. This dependability was achieved by one key design choice: decentralization.”
#Bitcoin will have approximately 1,700,000,000,000,000 sats in the final circulation. Should be enough to serve the world population.
#Bitcoin now = 130M users
Internet in 1997 = 130M users
In terms of adoption, Bitcoin has roughly the same users as the Internet had in 1997.
But Bitcoin’s growing faster. Next 4 years on current path will bring Bitcoin users to 1b people, that’s the equivalent of 2005 for the Internet.

The Top Universities for Blockchain by CoinDesk 2021
The top U.S schools are Berkeley (third) and MIT (fifth). Cornell, which was second last year, is now in 17th place. Stanford, which placed fourth in 2020, is now in 12th. Harvard, which was fifth last year, is now 49th, reflecting stronger competition this time, and that schools with strong overall reputations aren’t always the best performers when it comes to blockchain.
