St. Luigi and Jury Nullification

WORKING HARD ENOUGH = 1 JOB WORKING FULL TIME ENOUGH@CheyenneHuntCA Our American Dream was sold to the highest bidder and instead of facing that painful and terrifying betrayal head on, we blame it on the most disadvantaged among us for not “working hard enough”. Full time is supposed to mean the full amount of time a human being is meant to work before it becomes inhumane. Working full time in any role should be enough to pay your bills because all labor is dignified.

WEF’s Future of Jobs Report 2025: 86% of companies expect AI to transform business by 2030. Fastest-growing jobs include Big Data, FinTech, and AI/ML roles, while clerical jobs like cashiers and data entry clerks decline. Digital access drives the shift.

BREAKING: Congressman Buddy Carter just dropped a bill to abolish the IRS and nuke income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes. Translation: a billionaire free-for-all while the rest of us scramble to fund schools, roads, and hospitals. Who knew ‘tax reform’ was code for ‘let the rich run wild’?

OPINION Taxes such as income tax, property tax, gift tax, estate tax, and sales tax are relatively modern inventions that arose as the government expanded its reach. These forms of taxation were never part of the Founders’ original intent, as they sought to limit centralized power and avoid the oppressive taxation they had experienced under British rule.

COUNTER
Well …. they put a tax on liquor and started a rebellion because the people who made liquor used the liquor to barter for goods and services and didn’t have any money to pay the taxes. And one of the reasons for the revolutionary war was the British tax on (Liquor).

Whiskey Rebellion the tax protest in the United States from 1791 to 1794
In 1791, Congress approved a new, federal tax on spirits and the stills that produced them. For farmers on the frontier of the new nation, the production of whiskey was an important method of converting large amounts of grain into liquor, which was easier to transport across the Appalachian Mountains for sale in eastern markets.

1791 Excise Tax
“Section 15. And be it further enacted, that upon all spirits which after the said last day of June next, shall be distilled within the United States, from any article of the growth or produce of the United States, in any city, town, or village, there shall be paid for their use the duties following…”

We should abolish taxes on wages and earned income. Taxes should only be collected on *passive* income like rent, interest, capital gains, etc. Most low-wage earners get all their income from wages whereas the elites get all theirs from passive income.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says Bitcoin is “a Ponzi scheme” that “has no intrinsic value.” January 13, 2025

Jamie Dimon goes on @60Minutes yesterday and claims Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. 60 Minutes also did the hit piece on brad garlinghouse while their parent company uses JPM Payments to make cross-border transactions. Paramount, who owns 60min, transacts Real Time Payments (RTPs) across borders using J.P. Morgan Payments.

Jamie has crashed BTC many times in the past cause can’t wait to buy more #BTC when donOLD gets into office and the BTC reserve starts to happen.

JPM banked FTX, Epstein, Diddy, Deel Platform (who has an open RICO case), and were with Ethereum from the very start. That says everything I need to know about JPM.

Meanwhile…. The SEC filing by JPMorgan Chase provides specific insights into the bank’s exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs. The bank currently has exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs issued by some of the largest asset managers in the world: BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and more.

JPMorgan Chase was involved in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme in several ways:
• Failed to report suspicious activity: JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $2.6 billion settlement with the U.S. government for failing to reFX)rt suspicious activity in Madoffs accounts.
• Paid civil asset forfeiture judgment: JPMorgan Chase paid a $1.7 billion civil asset forfeiture judgment to the U.S. Department of Justice. This was the largest forfeiture by a bank in the U.S. at the time.
• Covered up the scheme: JPMorgan Chase admitted to covering up the Madoff

Dimon is the only Wall Street megabank CEO to have remained in that post since the financial crisis of 2008 – notwithstanding his bank losing $6.2 billion gambling with depositors’ money in derivatives in London; despite five felony counts to which it admitted guilt; despite over $40 billion in fines and restitution for looting the public and rigging trading; despite years of providing banking services to two of the most notorious criminals of this century – Bernie Madoff and Jeffrey Epstein – and despite endless bailouts from the Federal Reserve to prop it up.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered all Texas flags to be flown at full-staff on inauguration day, despite the requirement that they be flown at half-staff for 30 days due to President Carter’s death. Shameful.

A telling signal that some usually wealthy male YouTube influencers
or Big Tech CEOs appear to have been seduced by the Dark Side is when
they attempt to compensate for their “shortcomings” by displaying the
toxic masculinity of challenging each other to physical altercations
such as boxing or wrestling. I’m one guy who has been noticing this
for years now, and I’m certain I’m not the only one. -Lauren Weinstein

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk’s X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin. Well Elon should know. His own father was a child groomer of his own step-daughter!

St. Luigi

What is jury nullification and what does it mean for Luigi Mangione’s defense?
https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/us/jury-nullification-luigi-mangione-defense/index.html

The Bottom line is that everyone is allowed to know what Jury Nullification means but nobody is allowed to talk about it.

Summary:  Everyone is allowed to know about jury nullification which gives the jury power over a terrible law or circumstance and the  jury can decide not to charge defendant harshly or at all.

So if the jury is talking about it among themselves the judge and the lawyers don’t know.

There’s still a lot missing from that article.

You know why?

CAUSE “WE THE PEOPLE” THAT’S WHY

The Supreamely F’d up Supreme Court isn’t the last word in this country, the President isn’t the last word in this country, the military isn’t the last word in this country.

WE THE PEOPLE are the last word in this country cause anyone appointed or elected is only there IN OUR NAME.

If we don’t like what they do we can stop it in the jury box.

WE ARE THE LAST WORD

WE THE PEOPLE

and you know that guy from Pennslyvania ?

what’s his name ?  oh yea William Penn! it started with him.

Get Educated Go read the damn story.

Jury Nullification, Know Your Jury Rights

ECP NetHappenings Saylor’s Plan for Bitcoin to pay off debt

In Bitcoin We Trust…

BTCSaylor is literally taking us to a digital economy era.

Michael Saylor’s blueprint could change the game.

It’s the only way to pay off the debt.

Michael Saylor released a Framework for the USA
to make $81 TRILLION by establishing a
Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve.

“The United States can lead the global digital economy by establishing a clear taxonomy, legitimate rights-based framework, and practical compliance obligations.” Countries embracing Bitcoin are positioning themselves as leaders in the digital economy, unlocking innovation, investment, and financial inclusion. Those who delay risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving global landscape. The future favors bold adopters—act now to thrive .

5. Opportunity: Establishing the United States as the Global Digital Leader

A strategic digital asset policy can strengthen the US dollar, neutralize the national debt, and position America as the global leader in the 21st-century digital economy.

• USD as the Global Reserve Digital Currency: Grow digital currency markets from $25 billion to SIO trillion, creating massive demand for US Treasuries.

• Digital Capital Growth: Expand global digital capital markets from $2 trillion to $280 trillion, with US investors capturing the majority of this wealth.

• Digital Assets Leadership: Drive growth in digital assets (beyond Bitcoin) from $1 trillion to $590 trillion, with the United States dominating this industry.

• Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Establish a Bitcoin reserve capable of creating $16—81 trillion in wealth for the US Treasury, providing a pathway to offset national debt.

Conclusion: Seizing the Digital Assets Opportunity

By establishing a clear taxonomy, a legitimate rights-based framework, and practical compliance obligations, the United States can lead the global digital economy. A capital markets renaissance fueled by digital assets will unlock trillions in wealth, empower millions of businesses, and
solidify the US dollar as the foundation of the 21 st-century digital financial system.

@rizethereum
This is peak Saylor—thinking *massive*.
The idea of leveraging Bitcoin as a strategic reserve isn’t just about wealth creation; it’s a geopolitical power play. A USD-backed digital economy tied to Bitcoin dominance would cement the dollar as the *only* reserve currency in the digital age.

@builtbymartink
Very tactical choices from Michael Saylor to appeal to the masses:
– “USD as the Global Reserve Digital Currency”
– “Drive growth in digital assets (beyond Bitcoin)”
– positioning the SBR last in the bulleted list of items.
He understands the game he’s playing.

But let’s not pretend the incumbents won’t fight tooth and nail—central banks aren’t about to roll over for $81T dreams. The framework is fire, but implementation? That’s the real boss battle.

– Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis
Recent allegations of attacks against digital asset companies by staff at the FDIC, if true, are bone-chilling. Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is real and I will work with Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott to get to the bottom of these serious allegations.

The Federal Reserve isn’t federal, and it doesn’t have reserves.
It’s a private institution with the power to print money, not backed by tangible assets. You’ve been played. It’s time to take control.

– North Dakota becomes the 5th U.S. state with legislation introduced to establish a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ by local representatives.

– $1.5 TRILLION Franklin Templeton says, “We expect to see Strategic #Bitcoin Reserves added by several nations.”

Where did ethics in American politics go?

FUN FACTS:

– Elon Musk ‘may be going mad’ biographer claims.

CA FIRE Lots folks lost their Bitcoin because both their HW wallet and seed phrase was in the house. This should be a wakeup call to have multiple copies of the seed phrase plates, with pass phrases, in different geographies. Or to do this with multisig. Or to use the ETF.

Public confidence in the CDC isn’t great, and likely will only get worse in the next 4 years.  How many people will die because of this?
Elon Musk ex @elonmusk
Grok can diagnose medical injuries

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist.

WHY THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE THE REPORT
Patel may have lied to a federal grand jury when he said he was there when Trump declassified everything. If released, the report might sink Patel’s FBI nomination.

– on 1/13/25 we should get a SCOTUS decision to deny cert on Facebook’s fraud metrics appeal, a significantly less redacted complaint in Facebook’s AI lawsuit, and a possible timeline on Mark Zuckerberg’s “stonewalling” court deposition in Delaware.

– Congress to probe Elon Musk’s Starlink over allegations Russia is using its technology MSNBC

– “Tesla has officially issued a recall on over 200,000 vehicles in the US over the self-driving computer inside the vehicle short-circuiting and failing to work.” https://electrek.co/2025/01/10/tesla-issues-recall-on-over-200000-for-the-self-driving-computer-failure/

You don’t cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations if you want to lower costs for working families. You cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations if you want to pay back Elon Musk, Wall Street, Big Oil, and CEOs for supporting your campaign.

– Now that Trump has felonies on his criminal record, he won’t be allowed to own a gun (per federal law) and he must provide a DNA sample for New York’s crime databank (per state law).

– Adolph Hitler was also a convicted felon when he took office in 1933.

– The biggest threat to democracy is uneducated citizenry. The West needs to prioritize education more seriously. Civics classes, critical thinking, and basic economics to start.

– The Wagner mercenary who was captured crossing the Rio Grande worked for an organization that ran a subsidiary that helped elect Donald Trump in 2016. Wagner’s Internet Research Agency or IRA.

– Special Counsel Jack Smith resigns from the Justice Department, officials say, as his Trump investigations conclude.

– When Michael Cohen gets 3 years in prison – while the convicted felon skates on an unconditional discharge for the same crime – our justice system is a fukking joke.
