Cryptocurrency Problems



Cryptocurrencies has been on a wild ride of late ... up and down by 20-30% in one day! And China is trying to use this new  monetary abstraction to push its yuan to become the premier fiat currency. However, the are numerous problems with cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin in particular:


- As Elon Musk has pointed out, this Bitcoin “mining” uses enormous amounts of electricity.


- Other cryptocurrencies have no limits on the  total amounts created ...  meaning they are open for that old bunko scam ... watering.


- Cryptocurrencies use block-chain technology which means they are supposedly unhackable and perfect candidates for ransom and blackmail payments which (likely) cannot be traced.


- Cryptocurrencies, primarily because of their huge volatility, are a poor store of value and carry a very large transaction fees ... often in excess of 10%.


- And as I have previously indicated, non-government cryptocurrencies hog-tie our Treasury and Fed’s ability to control interest rates, money supply, value of the dollar, trade balances ... and even the status of our dollar as the world’s basis of trade.


Bottom line: I believe that the U.S. government will soon, like China, clamp down on cryptocurrencies by regulating them. ... or create its own (with no transaction fee) ... in either case maybe sealing the doom of these alternative cryptos.

Reality

 



In 1983 David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear ... kinda. Now we all know that magicians have ‘tricks’ up their sleeves and that this sensational event didn’t really occur ... but there are many other “realities” that are more confounding.


Recently, I saw on the internet a video of Bill Gates walking across the street and he appeared to have grown two breasts ... so I sent it to a few friends ... see: IOTW Report posting. And one snarky recipient responded that this video was obviously image altered ... a capability I didn’t know existed outside of Hollywood and the DNC.


Anyhow, this incident got me thinking on how our reality is constantly heing fiddled with in order to bamboozle we, the American public. It would seem to me that it’s beyond time that the courts should nave something to say about this dishonest slight of hand.

The Origin of Covid


Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer has just published an article in the “Bulletin of Atomic Scientists” about the mystery surrounding the origin of Covid-19. This is an extremely well researched and lengthy (11,000 words) deep-dive into this very important subject. I also saw him being interviewed on a recent “Life, Liberty and Levin” show ... good, well-balanced stuff!


This article is very revealing ... and seekers of truth should do their best to study it. It tries hard not to condemn the actors in this pandemic soap opera ... but it strongly suggests who the black hats were ... and what they did to kill over 3.5 million innocent citizens of the world.


Here it is: The Origin of Covid, Did People or Mother Nature Open Pandora’s Box in Wuhan?


Afterward: See Gain of Function and note the date ...

Today’s UFO Poser



In early June the U.S. government is going to release a report on UFOs including pilot sightings, radar images and grainy videos shot from the land, sea and aircraft. ... unfortunately, none of this evidence seems to be conclusive.


My poser today asks do we not have very high flying drones or satellite images of these encounters? I am reasonably certain that our spy satellite and drone viewing coverage is quite extensive ... and these images would offer resolutions below 25 centimeters.


Such satellite and/or drone images would clear up a lot of speculation about the exact nature of UFOs. If these images are not released, the mystery only deepens.

Let’s see ... we gave Hamas $235 million to buy rockets from Iran ... which they promptly fired at Israel ... which rockets were defended by Israel’s Iron Dome ... which we also paid for. Israel retaliated by destroying the Hamas launch sites in Gaza. Now Biden is pledging to pay for the reconstruction of this Gaza destruction.


 Now to the question ... maybe the American taxpayers also should just start to supply Hamas with the rockets ... and short-circuit all this bulshit hypocrisy?
