Let’s talk about fraud in the Fiat system and accountability for that.

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
Crypto has a big fraud problem, leading to billions in losses for American consumers. We need strong oversight and consumer protections. And the only people who should be afraid of that are crooks and cheats.

Let’s talk about fraud in the Fiat system and accountability for that. A public blockchain makes tracing money and prosecuting bad actors EASIER!

Hey Liz Your buddy Gary Gensler was CFTC chairman during MF Global The fraud was committed by Gary’s former boss at Goldman. He met with SBF multiple times. The CEO of Alameda is the daughter of Gary’s boss at MIT. Is it really a crypto problem?

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Bloomberg News Need to Give It a Rest with Bashing Wells Fargo and Turn Their Attention to 5-Count Felon, JPMorgan Chase
“JPMorgan Chase…is the only U.S. federally-insured bank in history to be charged with five felony counts in the span of seven years, while keeping the same man, Jamie Dimon, as its Chairman & CEO.” $JPM
@SenWarren @hannahlevitt @FSCDems @FinancialCmte
Since March of 2018, Bloomberg News has published more than 80 negative articles on Wells Fargo with headlines like these: Wells Fargo CEO Abruptly Steps Down, Succumbing to Scandals; Wells Fargo’s CEO Disputes Claim His Bank Is Too Big to Manage; Elizabeth Warren on Wells Fargo CEO’s Departure: ‘About Damn Time’; Ex-Wells Fargo Bosses Face US$59M in Fines; Stumpf Gets Ban.

Based on all of this negative media coverage, particularly at Bloomberg News, one would think that Wells Fargo is the most criminally-inclined bank in the United States. But here is where this story gets particularly curious. While Senator Warren and Bloomberg News have turned Wells Fargo into a piñata, Wells Fargo has not actually been charged with even one felony count by the U.S. Department of Justice. JPMorgan Chase, on the other hand, is the only U.S. federally-insured bank in history to be charged with five felony counts in the span of seven years, while keeping the same man, Jamie Dimon, as its Chairman and CEO.

Wells Fargo’s former CEO John Stumpf has been banned from the banking industry over the fake account scandal at Wells Fargo (a sales incentive program gone wrong) while Jamie Dimon has kept both titles of Chairman and CEO while having his annual pay hiked to over $30 million a year by his crony Board of Directors.

Jason P. Lowery on the national strategic security benefits of #Bitcoin

Jason P. Lowery on the national strategic security benefits of #Bitcoin

Jason Lowery @JasonPLowery

I’ve been invited to present my softwar theory at the 2023 MIT Bitcoin Expo!

Happy to announce that I’ve been invited to advise the White House Executive Office of the President on the national strategic security benefits of #Bitcoin . This is the biggest honor of my career so far & I’d like to thank the BT community for giving me a voice. 🙏

My goal is not to be a Cassandra. I don’t want to be the “i told you so” guy after US makes a huge national strategic blunder & ignores #BTC . My goal is to be the guy who disappears from the public b/c I get the phone call from the white house to ensure the US stays ahead.

Also advising OSECDEF. For obvious reasons I’ll not be disclosing anything more. Cheers guys, and thanks again. 🙏 See you on the flip side.

#Bitcoin is a non-lethal strategic warfighting protocol, not a monetary protocol.

There will be a revolutionary war. Since kinetic war is stalemated, WW3 will probably be a softwar & b/c it’s soft, ppl will not recognize it as a war. This means WW3 could be fought & won before the losers even realize it started… And #BTC is a 13-yr-old softwar protocol.
If that’s true then all that’s left to do is for a subject matter expert in warfighting to explain to the losers why they’re already losing… right b4 the 2024/2025 FOMO cycle starts

The US can “buy” Bitcoin by buying out—forcibly even—Grayscale, Coinbase, Microstrategy.

Easy way to defeat an altcoiner is to ask them how Reusable Proofs of Work work.

Biden takes big step toward government-backed digital currency
The Biden administration is throwing its support behind further study and development of what would be known as a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency.

Global banking giants are starting a 12-week digital dollar pilot with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Mastercard, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and others, launch a 12-week experimental digital dollar pilot with the New York Fed. Cash is about to become extinct. Total control. 1984. Orwell.

CBDCs are way more of a threat to all of us than anything going on with FTX and crypto. Don’t get distracted. CBDC is just the government’s weapon against encryption.

Michael Saylor: “Sam may have made a million Bitcoin Maximalists with this crash.”

Jason Lowery @JasonPLowery
Imagine what 2025 will look like if we can do what we can now to educate people about why there’s no replacement for PoW. #BTC should have gone over $200k IMO, but shillcoin valley soaked up the FOMO capital. Ppl can have their moon & keep it if they just buy the right asset.

This is bullish, state sponsored stable coin. Who cares. It gets more people transitioned over to the digital economy, great for mass adoption. #Bitcoin

FTX blowup is noise, signal is that oil giant Shell joins Exxon Mobile in mining Bitcoin.

NEWS FAIL

Experts reveal that Trump made $1.7 billion from the government while serving as president.

A Democrat in New Hampshire flipped a House seat by only ONE vote. EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS.

Jake Chervinsky @jchervinsky
I want to know how many whistleblower complaints were filed with the SEC tipping them off to FTX’s fraud. I want to know how many were filed before FTX met with Chair Gensler’s office to talk about a sweetheart deal. I want to know why our “cop on the beat” was blind to this.

The story of Alameda and FTX can best be summarized by @SBF_FTX’s philosophy of betting big. Every major decision they have made is related to acquiring more leverage – via deceptive fundraises, financial engineering, and ultimately, outright fraud, as we will see.

US authorities are discussing bringing Sam-Bankman-Fried to the United States for questioning,

Example of a moron  Aaron Ross Sorkin who has had years to obtain a basic, fundamental understanding of bitcoin!!!!!!!
Sorkin is a crude dipshit NOT doing reputable journalism.

 

Arizona will now have a Democratic governor and 2 Democratic senators for the first time in 72 years. In case you were wondering how the “red wave” is going. The last time Arizona had a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators was 1950.

Once a scammer, always a scammer. Mike Lindell’s “My Pillow” downgraded to an F rating by Better Business Bureau.

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
BIG STUFF. @marceelias and MO’s own @MarkPedroli win important case. Court rules Hawley broke the law to help his campaign.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-100 Meter Dash) found by Missouri court to have been *illegally* concealing documents from the public when he ran for Senate in 2018 – and that his campaign consultants were using the Attorney General’s office to violate the law.

Our economic security is on the ballot

January 6 committee votes to subpoena former president Donald Trump

Bennie G. Thompson We have left no doubt, none, that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of January 6th. Trump is not above the law!

Liz Cheney: “Without accountability, it becomes normal, and it will recur.”

Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi
US House candidate, CA-11
Our Democracy is on the ballot. Our economic security is on the ballot.
We know what extreme Republicans are doing across America to undermine our elections. With YOU, our Volunteers in Politics, we will win. 25 days left — make every day count! -NP

David Hogg
Am I the only person who has found the professionalism and integrity of January 6th committee insanely refreshing? It is so nice to see politicians practicing any level of professionalism and bipartisanship.
Now we know that Garland knew Donald had ordered people to move boxes, AND that he had it on video.

*** That an American president has gotten away w/all his endless lies & crimes is a breathtaking, devastating failure of an incomprehensible justice system. It imprisons countless humans for minute alleged “crimes,” but protects a criminal monster for years on end, perhaps forever.
What he is counting on — what trump has always done — is kick the can of justice and accountability down the road indefinitely in order to normalize his rampant lawlessness and corruption—in order to conflate black-market strong-arm autocracy with legitimate business and society.

Per sworn testimony from Cassidy Hutchison: Trump was “raging.” He said: “I don’t want people to know that we lost. This is embarrassing The only person trying to rig & steal the election was Trump.

It was Republican staffers from Trump’s team telling us that Trump knew he lost.

Jen Psaki “He was the central player”…

Gaslighting gets through because right wing media hides behind the first amendment to report false narratives, [ lies, lying liars ] and an
∴ emotionalized electorate∴  buys it because they’re susceptible morons!

Washington State GOP Pays a White Nationalist, Pro-Nazi Blogger

During his time in the White House, no target provoked as much anger from Donald Trump as the American press.
In 2017, he declared, “The press, honestly, is out of control.”
In 2019, he called it “truly the enemy of the people.

His reelection campaign sued the Washington Post and the New York Times.

What do Blake Masters and Ron Johnson and Adam Laxalt and Don Bolduc and Ted Budd have in common? They’re all election deniers who have no business in the Senate.

“He is against America,” can be said with complete accuracy about Ron Johnson.

“Abortionist Bitch Daughter.”
Roger Stone Threw a Fit After Not Getting Pardon, Called Ivanka ‘Abortionist Bitch’

“Fuck you and your abortionist bitch daughter,” he concluded, referring to Ivanka Trump, according to the filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen who said there was “no doubt” who Stone was ranting about. This turd thinks having a Tricky Dick tattoo on his back is the coolest! Remember Stone is the Father of the corrupt Imperial Presidency idea for the last 50 years!

Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth @SecArmy
There has been confusion on an issue where there should be none. So let me be clear: I expect @USArmy leaders to stand up for women—and all Soldiers—who are unduly attacked or disrespected. Our @USArmy Soldiers don’t hesitate to defend each other in combat & they shouldn’t hesitate to defend each other from threats or abuse, whether IRL or online. Army leaders, use good judgment online. Keep it professional.

Wake me up when you recall Gen Flynn and court marshall him for his open advocacy for overthrowing our government and you hold his brother Chuck accountable for blocking troops when the Capital was under attack. Why is Gen. Flynn still getting an army pension when he tried to overthrow the government? Why did his brother get promoted after helping with the insurrection? Why did you reprimand a general who was defending women in the armed forces? Tax payers want answers!

More dangerous than Trump himself are, the FlynnStones, Mike and Roger. They are instigators, experts on manipulating the cult and belong behind bars.

Tragic fallout from the politicisation of science in the US

Why did (R) representative Mo Brooks put on a bulletproof vest before leaving for work the morning of January 6th?

DoD said Trump had to make an order. Wow. McEntee types it up. Wow. President signed it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

VIDEO On Jan. 5, 2021, @DougMastriano, @PATreasurer and @PAHouseGOP headlined a Stop The Steal rally in PA, despite declaring their own wins in the same election. Mastriano streamed his speech on Facebook.
After he crossed police lines with the Jan. 6 rioters, he deleted it. #PAGOV
Full deleted video of Mastriano’s January 5th speech

At 1:03 in this @January6thCmte video, an attendee of the January 5th Stop The Steal rally in PA is featured making violent threats against the Speaker of the House while rioting in the U.S. Capitol.
Here she is at the rally with Mastriano’s transition chair.

Biden, Garland and the Democratic “Leadership”
Have NEVER shown the guts to fight for Democracy. Hearings are one thing. Firings and indictments are another. The fascist right-wing cult is corrupt to the core.

Why Didn’t the FBI Review Social Media Posts Announcing Plans for the Capitol Riot? Neither Brookings nor Lawfare are, as institutions, sufficiently skeptical of either the motivations or the competence of federal law enforcement, including the FBI and SS.

Apart from the need to indict those who plotted this outrage, there is the question where was FBI Director Chris Wray? He bears some responsibility for letting armed rioters get anywhere near the Capitol, given all the intelligence that was available in advance of the violence ~ Laurence Tribe

What on earth were the Secret Service (and the FBI!) doing with this information? Throwing it in the trash? Cops are MAGA, including the FBI. A week after 1/6, a person familiar with FBI operations informed a top bureau manager that “there is a sizeable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol.”
One thing we learned today the missing Secret Service text truly mattered. They knew 01/06 was coming.

Surprise! Secrecy covers incompetence, corruption, overreach but does not provide protection.
Secret Service Jan. 6 messages show they got tip that Proud Boys were plotting to “kill people”

#1 The breach of Capitol grounds at 12:53pm
On Nov 9, 2020 AFTER Trump lost he fired Esper and installed Chris Miller ‘Acting Sec of Defense’ and Kash Patel. In DC the only people who can deploy the National Guard are POTUS and Sec of Defense. These are the 14 times Miller denied the National Guard

@SpeakerPelosi now knows Chris Miller and Rosen lied to her, the National Guard and thousands of law enforcement were NOT on the way. They lied and people died. They were installed AFTER trump lost. THINK ABOUT THAT

And . . . the Supreme Court REJECTS Trump’s plea to intervene in special master case. Justice is trending.

Jim Helminski @jhelminski
As a former Deputy Assistant Director for the Secret Service. I have spoken out about the dangers to our democracy imposed by agents who have conspired w/Trump. Since then, the Secret Service has revoked my affiliation with the agency.

From Adam Schiff: The Secret Service and Department of Defense knew about plans from Insurgent groups to “arm themselves and to engage in political violence at the event” and to “occupy federal buildings” as early as December of 2020. Nearly a month before the deadly attack.

Poo Poo Punchin’ Pelosi
“If he comes I’m gonna punch him out and I’m going to jail and I’m going to be happy” Nancy Pelosi.
The only reason the riot was as successful as it was, is because, in DC only 2 people can deploy the national guard since their inception in 1882. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Nancy Pelosi was unable to deploy the National Guard as much as she wanted to.

IMPORTANT: the only reason the riot was as successful as it was, is because, in DC only 2 people can deploy the national guard since their inception in 1882. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Nancy Pelosi was unable to deploy the National Guard as much as she wanted to.

Steve Scalise wants to know why Nancy didn’t call the National Guard. He was standing there on film when she did.He’s one of the biggest shills of the gun lobby, though he almost died from gun violence.

Arguing with a Trump supporter is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won…

Ron Johnson is BOOED during his debate with Mandela Barnes.

ELON

@EHunterChristie
The “Krushchev’s mistake” wording was a clear ‘tell’ that Musk was using material produced by someone linked to the Russian state. A 2nd was water supply to Crimea (why that detail?) A 3rd tell was his use of the Kosovo analogy. Typical Kremlin talk – atypical for anyone else.

He used the following sentence: „- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).“ NOBODY except a Russian official use this language and comparison because both events are Cherry picked and not following wach other (Crimea was  1917)

A senior U.S. official expressed exasperation to me about the Starlink situation in Ukraine involving @elonmusk.
Musk “dangles hope over the heads of millions, then sticks the DoD with the bill for a system no one asked for but now so many depend on.” This comes a week after Musk called on Ukraine to cede its territories to Russia — which Musk tweeted after he spoke with Vladimir Putin.

So @elonmusk is whining about losing a lot of money on Starlinks for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, may I present to you snippets of my bank statements.
Thousands of Ukrainians, paying his company monthly.
So the question is: did you really lose more money than you earned?

Elon: Buy Twitter Copy WeChat #ElonMusk is too smart but still not fully understand the consequences of dealing with #CCP.
“‘It is strange when the word ‘brave’ has become a sensitive keyword,’ said one on WeChat. On Twitter, which is unaccessible from China unless one skirts the firewall, the images and videos went viral and drew a large amount of supportive comments.”
Chinese Internet Users Lose Access to WeChat App After Beijing Protest https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-internet-users-lose-access-to-wechat-app-after-beijing-protest-11665757947

Anyone who builds up a cult of idiot fanboys & cryptobros is a weak man & psycho. Elon may well end up fleeing the US, but not before FLEECING the US for as much as possible.

OnlyFans lawyers accidentally reveal which Meta execs allegedly took bribes
Names of Nick Clegg and Nicola Mendelsohn mistakenly not redacted. OnlyFans’ owner Fenix International Limited accidentally filed a court document that mistakenly failed to redact the names of Meta employees allegedly connected to the global conspiracy. Because of the misstep, it has been revealed that adult entertainers have specifically accused three Meta employees of taking bribes. The employees are Nick Clegg (Meta’s vice president of global policy), Nicola Mendelsohn (vice president of the global business team), and Cristian Perrella (whom Yahoo Finance reported is Meta’s European safety director).


Bitcoin is Big.

 

In fact, it’s bigger than the internet. It’s bigger than email, social media, and smartphones combined. And it’s here to stay.

It takes brains to learn Bitcoin.
It takes guts to buy bitcoin.
It takes nerve to hodl BTC.
It takes love to share it.
The bitcoin protocol is a profound and extremely exciting human accomplishment.

“Colonials, when they came to Latina America, they wanted to extract the gold. Bitcoiners are coming with the (digital) gold.”

CONFESSIONS

Bored Ape Yacht Club ruined my life. Bought the top at $450,000 with everything I owned and my life savings and still holding to this day. I’d be lucky to clear 6 figs.

Started learning how to use adobe software to try to make an NFT project in June 2021. Ended up making an onlyfans of someone who doesn’t exist using deepfakes. In my best month, I made $14,000.

Spent close to half my father’s crypto on NFTs with nearly all those projects going to zero. Had one lucky break this past month and recouped over 30ETH to get his stack back. Haven’t felt more relieved and stupid in my life.

My net worth was 7 figures I was very unhappy, it’s now 5 figures and I’m even unhappier. Fuck crypto.

At the end of 2017, I put 3k into crypto and turned it into 40k by March 2018. I lost 90% of it from holding ZCL to BTCP fork because McAfee said it would go to some crazy price per coin.

I work on the due-diligence team for speaker approvals for a conference and the number of speakers trying to apply despite only having 2 months of experience in the industry blows my mind.

I cashed out seven figures in crypto this year. Connected with a homeless guy who doesn’t deserve to be. I’ve given him at least $25k in cash, hotel rooms, etc. I’m not gonna stop until he’s back on his feet. Feels damn good.
