❌ WHAT???? No Acting FAA Director????

The FAA Has No Clear Leader During the Worst Air Disaster in 16 Years.
The former FAA head tussled with Musk and wanted to fine SpaceX for safety violations.
He resigned after Trump won the election and hasn’t been replaced.
VIDEO If you didn’t see this video, please watch it:
That’s Transportation Secretary Duffy walking away from cameras and not asking if there’s a head of the FAA.
The FAA director resigned after Elon Musk demanded he quit.
Interesting reality…FAA oversees SpaceX.
Elon should not be INVOLVED! Personally vendetta against FAA Director…
FAA Proposes $633,009 in Civil Penalties Against SpaceX

imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed management-by-vendetta sure is working out swimmingly

I took the one less traveled by, and that had made all the difference.
– Robert Frost

Sometimes it’s not about being the smartest.
Sometimes it’s just about the desire to the world a better place, believing that you have to try and be brave!!!!!

✅  It’s Time to Think Differently About Your Next Stage of Life

✅ That Michael @saylor gets to do this in plain sight, telegraphed to the whole world since 2020 with all the ‘Smart Money’ just watching him still blows my mind. The “I told you!” memes are going to be epic.
He held a Bitcoin for Corporations conference teaching the playbook and they still haven’t done it

Adopt an “exploitative” strategy that no one understands.

✅  Michael Saylor featured on the latest cover of Forbes as “The Bitcoin Alchemist.” and says “MicroStrategy Isn’t Just A Giant Bitcoin Bet–It’s A Revolution In Corporate Finance”

❌ The Trump admin’s buyout offer to federal workers is part of a broader assault on the federal workforce, firing and sidelining nonpartisan federal employees so they can be replaced with cronies / private pocket friends.

An international coalition of law enforcement agencies announced it has seized and taken down two prominent hacking forums with more than 10 million users. German police called them “the world’s two largest trading platforms for cybercrime.”

BEWARE CRYPTO SCAMMERS

@FatManTerra sends the warning:
A verified source has confirmed that Zhu Su, the CEO of 3AC, owned a megayacht worth $50m that he would show off to friends and prospective investors to signal his luxurious wealth. This yacht was purchased with borrowed money, and 3AC has been unable to cover it beyond the down.
Addendum: despite Zhu showing off ownership of the yacht and pictures of it (according to the source who gave me this info), he didn’t even have the yacht in-person yet! It is actually scheduled to be delivered next month. (Credit to @lawmaster>

Smart Contracts

Ethereum (and any other shitcoin) wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Bitcoin. Period. And Bitcoin shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as Ethereum. Bitcoin is all there is and all that matters.


For those who haven’t put the time into learning and need to hear/read this  – “Smart contracts” – are doable on Bitcoin anyway;
they’re just usually pointless “oracle” based algorithms and we recognize them as nearly universally scams. #SmartContracts

#Satoshi built #SmartContract opcodes into the bitcoin client, most of which were removed because they compromised security. Bitcoin devs have long understood that smart contracts’ proper place is higher layers, which is now bearing fruit with Lightning & federal designs. Also smart contracts have been around long before ethereum.
see szabo, nick

Bitcoin has very powerful #L1 smart contracts.

#Lightning has services with multiple million users enabling it for faster cheaper payments: – CashApp – Bitfinex – Kraken – Paxful – Chivo – Robinhood.  Add all these up and it’s well over 50M users

Greg Foss Power Development / Bitcoin Strategist
Oakville, Ontario, Canada
2 years in high-yield credit trading and analysis as PM and trader.
Bitcoin enthusiast/realist. G-7 balance sheets (total debt to GDP) will cause all fiat currencies to depreciate. It is only math. Embrace bitcoin as a hedge against the debt spiral and the beggar thy neighbor strategy employed by all governments and central banks.
The fractional banking system facilitates this imbalance. Quantitative easing exacerbates the imbalance. All portfolios need to hedge these risks.
1-3% exposure to bitcoin is prudent risk management.
BTC = digital gold and digital electricity.

“Nobody Did The Maths” – Greg Foss Bitcoin Interview
In todays’ video, Greg Foss tells us all about the Fiat Ponzi, what it is and details why it will collapse and Bitcoin will thrive and succeed, over Fiat.
Foss, who is now retired, began his career as a bond trader on Wall Street, which he feels has given him a clear sense of the mathematical ramifications of what’s really going on, leading him to believe that Bitcoin is the only ‘anti-fiat’ choice.

“These Are My Targets” – Greg Foss Bitcoin
(my Ah Ha moment was in 2016)
In todays’ video, Greg Foss discussed why he is a Bitcoin supporter, and you should accept it as a hedge against the debt spiral, and why all fiat currencies will devalue as a result of the G-7 balance sheets (total debt to GDP).

“My Plan To This Chaos”
Michael Saylor talks about the opportunities Bitcoin provides to the American people and how it has the ability to disrupt today’s financial and commercial use. He also compares Bitcoin and Crypto to traditional stock market and gold.

#GOLD

Bitcoin 21 million is the hardest money known in history and has the ability to disrupt today’s financial and commercial use. Gold isn’t scarce they just found a trillion dollars of it last week.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove
Estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. A crypto-asset like BTC is considered a lot scarcer than gold, and the protocol ensures there won’t be any surprise discoveries or underreported issuance. SURPRISE The 226-kilometer wide asteroid is made of gold and other metals with an estimated value of around 10,000 quadrillion-dollars.

“This isn’t True! but it’s funny ~ECP”

#Bitcoin adoption is doubling every year.

@SenLummis calls the Federal Reserve a “Lawless Organization.”

“We haven’t seen significant evasion through crypto so far but we’ll monitor carefully to make sure this isn’t a major avenue for evasion,” @SecYellen told @RepJoshG during a @FSCDems @FinancialCmte hearing  on sanctions evasion using crypto.

To call Bitcoin a Ponzi is an insult to Ponzi schemes. While some funds from Madoff’s fraud have been returned to investors, Bitcoin holders won’t be able to recover any funds because there’s nothing there to recoup. And even if there was, who would they phone for help? Miners?

~Elon Musk bought $1.5 billion worth of #bitcoin and the code remains unchanged after a year.
~Elon Musk bought $3 billion worth of Twitter and the code is changing after a week.

Noam Chomsky, speaks about Brexit, the war in Ukraine and the return of Donald Trump.
On the war in Ukraine: “It’s monstrous for Ukraine…Why did he do it? There are two ways of looking at this question. One way, the fashionable way in the West, is to plumb the recesses of Putin’s twisted mind and try to determine what’s happening in his deep psyche.”
On Trump’s return: “I remember listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio. I didn’t understand the words…but I understood the mood. And it was frightening and terrifying. And when you watch one of Trump’s rallies that can’t fail to come to mind. That’s what we’re facing.”

  1. Why does Clarence Thomas get to sit on cases about keeping January 6th documents secret when his wife shows up in January 6th documents?
  2. Remember when Rudy ran a shadow foreign policy which resulted in the ouster of our Ambassador to Ukraine in a hurry?
    Remember when the FBI raided Rudy’s home and office?
    Remember Rudy tried to orchestrate the overthrow of our election with baseless challenges?
    Why is Rudy free?

And just like that, the Ginni Thomas story has been buried …

To see the FULL video from this 1986 cult member support group conference, you can see that on my YouTube channel here (Ginni Thomas appears at the 17:30 mark)
For more on Ginni Thomas’ time in a cult, her cult activism in the 80s, and her turn to right-wing causes, this washingtonpost article from 1991 is surprisingly thorough.
