 NEW - Get Ready for the Republican Carbon Market

Despite Republican rhetoric and Trump’s past policy on the Paris agreement, the incoming Trump administration is being heavily influenced by figures tied to carbon markets and efforts to implement dubious climate finance schemes.

 NEW - The Chain Of Command: How Facebook's Libra, Bank Regulators, and PayPal Built A New World Currency

Two companies closely tied to Peter Thiel – PayPal and Facebook – have embarked on apparently unsuccessful efforts to create a “new world currency.” Yet, upon further examination, those efforts have actually been wildly successful and many recent events of significant in finance – including but not limited to the 2023 banking crisis – have arguably been orchestrated to facilitate the vision of Thiel and his early allies and the creation of a new paradigm for currency, one where privately issued money meets surveillance.

 NEW POST - RFK Jr. Is Replicating Bernie Sanders’ Sheepdog Play for MAGA I have come to suspect that RFK Jr. is playing a role similar to that of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. Bernie served as a “sheepdog,” using working class populism and “dissident” credentials to herd voters largely disillusioned with the establishment party candidates to vote for one, with the belief being that his endorsement of Clinton would somehow “push her left.” Now, RFK Jr. is using working class populist rhetoric and his Covid dissident credentials to herd voters disillusioned by Trump and Biden-era Covid policies into the Trump fold. 

UH is now releasing short blog posts on a separate part of the site, in addition to our traditional focus - long form investigative articles. https://newsletter.unlimitedhangout.com/rfk-jr-is-replicating-bernie-sanders-sheepdog-play-for-maga/

 NEW - Manufacturing the Far-Right: Who Is Shaking the Jar?

Following the recent unrest in the UK, the entire establishment blamed alleged “far-right influencers” for peddling online “disinformation,” which they said “caused” riots and which they would target to "keep our streets safe." When we look more closely, however, the far-right threat in the UK appears to have been manufactured by a public-private partnership tied to intelligence agencies that has attempted to legitimise the policy response.

The Chain of Consensus: The Cartel Behind The Blockchain

While often pitched as decentralized, the key infrastructure upholding consensus on Ethereum has been dollarized by stablecoin issuers. These same entities, in addition to the currency speculators behind Block.One, were willing partners in the set up and take down of Terra-LUNA and FTX.

 NEW Article - Debt From Above: The Carbon Credit Coup

Latin America is quietly being forced into a carbon market scheme through regional contractual obligations – enforced by the satellites of a US intelligence-linked firm – which seeks to create an inter-continental "smart grid,” erode national and local sovereignty, and link carbon-based life to the debt-based monetary system via a Bitcoin sidechain.

Tokenized, Inc: BlackRock's Plan To Own The Fractionalized World

In the aftermath of the recent Bitcoin ETF approvals, BlackRock's Larry Fink revealed that soon everything will be "ETF'd" and tokenized, threatening to fractionalize not just existing assets and commodities, but the natural world, reducing most living things into Wall Street financial products to be traded on a single, universal ledger.
