ECP NetHappenings Bitcoiners are all over the map politically

Don’t join a cult

BTCBitcoiners are all over the map politically.

“YesWeKam” Kamala needs to get advice about BITCOIN from the First Gentlemen who already approves and Mark Cuban.

Bill Miller IV tells CNBC “Bitcoin is the new global denominator for capital.” “You get 21 million Bitcoin and that’s it.”

@molly0xFFF
The cryptocurrency industry has been working overtime to sell a story:
that there is a large contingent of voters voting based on candidates’ crypto policy stances. The problem is, it’s a story that does not seem to be well supported by data.
https://www.citationneeded.news/when-did-cryptocurrency-become-a-voter-issue/
An April 2024 survey funded by the Digital Currency Group and published by the crypto lobbying group The Blockchain Association was not shy about aiming its messaging directly at politicians, trying to convince them of the existence of a sizable crypto voting bloc. A glance at the survey design quickly reveals the story the industry was hoping to tell with the results. Even more profound are the kinds of questions that were not included, which could have provided a clearer (but perhaps unwanted) view of voters’ actual beliefs. Furthermore, the supposed number of crypto holders (“52 million”!) that companies like Coinbase like to throw around come largely from a poorly-designed survey with methodology its designers seem unwilling to disclose, and are vastly higher than other estimates. Regardless of the caricatures that have emerged, most cryptocurrency holders are pretty normal people, with nuanced political beliefs and hopes for the future that go far beyond the tokens they hold in their digital wallets.

FTX SAM BANKMAN FRIED
GAVE ALL THE REPUBLICANS DONATIONS
NOT JUST DEMOCRATS

FTX filed for Bankruptcy on the exact date the at the time, IRS Commissioner’s term expired – November 12th 2022. The soon to be appointed commissioner, Danny Werfel, last held the role during the Mt. Gox seizure.

The IRS commissioner, Charles Rettig was under pressure in 2019 when Democratic Representatives called to have Rettig thrown in Jail for not releasing President Trumps Tax Records.

As you know, FTX famously used User Funds to donate more than $40M to Democrats in Congress and associated PACs.

Despite Biden announcing he was intending to nominate our current IRS commissioner, Danny Werfel, on November 10th, 2022, it wasn’t until 4 months later, March 9th 2023, that he was voted in by Congress.

Prior to Werfel’s appointment, he worked at Boston Consulting Group, BCG, where in 2022 he made $6.6 Million. The IRS position pays no more than $250K.

Commissioner Werfel was previously controller of OMB under George Bush. As controller of OMB, Werfel was largely responsible for establishing http://Recovery.gov, a federal Web site that tracked how the 2009 economic stimulus program was distributing billions of dollars to jump-start the economy. and was later appointed to IRS Commissioner under Barack Obama in October 2013, just 5 months prior to the Mt. Gox seizure.

Acting Director of the Internal Revenue Service: Who Is Danny Werfel?

 

@BoringSleuth
What if I told you that the same BTC Auction where Cumberland purchased 27K BTC from the US Marshals auction of Mt. Gox Bitcoin, ended up flowing into @Grayscale
https://x.com/BoringSleuth/status/1806906133124165934

In the Post below (READ IT), I show that Cumberland is who was the original funder of Grayscale’s Ethereum Wallets on the Ethereum network, where they offloaded a ton of ETH from the $4 Billion EOS ICO fraud connected to Epstein.

That thread shows the connections to the now defunct Silvergate, Peter Pablo, Erik Voorhees, Madoff connected and college roommate of Joe Lubin, Mike Novogratz, and many more.

My next post will show you that BTC from the seized Mt. Gox Bitcoin, flowed to the now bankrupt Gemini (growing theme, dare I say coverup!) and onto Grayscale Investment Trust, which offloads tokens onto Americans.

Was @greyscale setup to be the offramp for EOS’s token sale ETH as well as Consensys and the Ethereum Foundation’s hidden ETH?
Blockchain forensics evidence hints to this.

President Biden @POTUS
This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle:
No one is above the law.
Not the President of the United States.
Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.
So today, I’m calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy.

1. No more immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office
2. Term limits for Supreme Court justices
3. A binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court

+++ BIDEN NEEDS TO ADD+++

Expand the court! We need 13 Supreme Court justices. Every one of them should be deserving of public trust; no rulings to allow bribery, no collusion in coup attempts, no helicopter rides into russia.

Any person convicted of a felony is ineligible to run for President.

Admiral Grace Hopper’s landmark lecture is found, but the NSA won’t release it
Intelligence agency claims it “no longer has the ability to view” 1982 recording. With digital obsolescence threatening many early technological formats, the dilemma surrounding Admiral Hopper’s lecture underscores the critical need for and challenge of digital preservation. This challenge transcends the confines of NSA’s operational scope. It is our shared obligation to safeguard such pivotal elements of our nation’s history, ensuring they remain within reach of future generations. While the stewardship of these recordings may extend beyond the NSA’s typical purview, they are undeniably a part of America’s national heritage.

2024 Angela  Chao DEAD

Angela  Chao, 50, DEAD was head of the Foremost Group and the sister of former

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, married to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell

Transparency: Blanco County officials not releasing records into Angela Chao’s death investigation

Angela Chao was Sen. McConnell’s sister-in-law & CEO of Foremost, a shipping co. founded by her father James Chao, who has deep ties with the CCP and a personal friend of fmr Pres of China Jiang Zemin.

VIDEO Is the Chao family covering up Angela’s suicide?
Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, was beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy. Her death was tragic. But what made it mysterious is her family’s attempt to cover up the real cause of her death. I think Chao might have been caught in ugly CCP politics and worsening Sino-US relations, and committed suicide. Her death case is strikingly similar to the death of another accomplished Chinese American, Profession Zhang Shoucheng, whose ambition and talent became a fatal combination.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to 101 Schneider Lane in Johnson City for a possible water rescue before midnight on Feb. 11. Public records show the property is owned by a trust that shares the same Chicago address as an investment and public equity firm owned by Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer.

Firefighters with ESD No. 2, headquartered in the city of Blanco, responded to the scene after midnight, the newly released report shows. They arrived at the ranch shortly before 12:30 a.m., the report shows — about 27 minutes after they were called. Quote Austin Statemen

Crystal Ann @Crystal91a Feb 24 Replying to @credibletruth1 and @Jkylebass
It is not McConnell’s ranch but Angela Chao and her husband Jim Breyer’s. She was on her own property. You can find threads containing more ownership details, but they bought it through their Jwcb Ranch LP corporation [JW Chao Breyer or James W. Chao Breyer] on May 10, 2021.
Mitch McConnel’s brother in law, Jim Breyer, is about to be charged with espionage on behalf of the CCP. Billionaire wife, Angela Chao, died in her car in a stock tank in the Texas boondocks two weeks ago, one day after Breyer’s company was put on Pentagon do not do business…

VIDEO Behind Angela Chao’s death: Deep tie with Evergrande case/Too late to quit CCP’s military enterprise
According to Chinese media Caixin.com, on February 12, 2024, Angela Chao, Chairman and CEO of Foremost Group, a large U.S. shipping company, passed away at the age of 50 in a car accident. For China’s shipbuilding industry, “Foremost” is a famous name. It’s one of the first Western shipping companies to buy ocean-going vessels from China, and China’s largest customer for ship exports to the U.S. In January 2024, half a month before Angela’s death, the Foremost Group had placed an order worth $168 million with a subsidiary of the state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). Angela’s family is known in overseas Chinese circles as “The First Chinese American Family.” Her father James Chao is the 96-year-old founder of the Foremost Group and has been dubbed “Chinese Ship King.”

CHAO FAMILY
Parents born in China, but fled to Taiwan in 1949 due to the Chinese Civil War. (see the movies above)
Her father came to the United States in 1958, while her mother and three oldest sisters moved to the United States in 1961

2.  Angela’s father  James S. C. Chao, founded Foremost Group in 1964.

James S.C. Chao, 91, Ms. Chao’s father, studied navigation at a university in Shanghai before fleeing the mainland ahead of the Communist takeover in 1949. His schoolmate for a time was Jiang Zemin, who would become China’s president.
Chinese official who was general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP; 1989–2002) and president of China (1993–2003). Jiang joined the CCP in 1946

Foremost Group operates a global fleet of bulk carriers. As CEO, she became interested in adding more environmentally sustainable vessels that can burn alternative fuels to the company’s roster.
At one point in her career, she was a member of the board of the Bank of China, a vice chair of the Council of China’s Foreign Trade and a director of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, a Chinese government-owned enterprise that makes ships for the Chinese military, Foremost Group and other customers. She was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations

RETHUGLICANS VS HIGHER ED

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of Louisiana — the fourth-most uneducated state — during a November interview: “The Republican Party is attracting less and less more highly educated voters,” Johnson explained, “because they spend so much time in the academy” — which, he said, was run by “liberals almost entirely.”
“So these students are being indoctrinated,” Johnson said.
He got one part right: The educated don’t like Republicans.

Let this sink in—if the former U.S. Surgeon General

can’t afford a hospital visit, after knowing full well about doctors and insurance, and having a “premier” health insurance plan—what hope is there for the rest of us? #Medicareforall #healthcareforall now!

@JeromeAdamsMD
Recently had an ER visit for dehydration while out of town. Received some labs and 3 IV bags. Here’s the bill- AFTER insurance. It’s no wonder medical debt is the top cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. #HealthcareCosts #MedicalDebtCrisis

I’m a doctor who is in the top 1% of earners. And even I don’t have $4896.43 lying around. So I clicked “billing options” and was relived to see that I was offered an alternative to “pay us $5k right now or have your credit ruined.” I could go on the $1632.15 per month plan!

20+ million Americans are submerged in a staggering $220 billion of medical debt.

@R0b0tSp1der
Literally just don’t pay it.
They’ll send you a bill for half the amount in 6 months. Then they’ll settle all their arrears for the year, and there’s a 50/50 chance that it just goes away and they forgive it.
OR you can settle for ~25% of that amount.
