Julian Assange's full testimony to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg today:

"Mr. Chairman, esteemed members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, ladies and gentlemen.

The transition from years of confinement in a maximum-security prison to standing here before the representatives of 46 nations and 700 million people is a profound and surreal shift.

The experience of isolation for years in a small cell is difficult to convey; it strips away one's sense of self, leaving only the raw essence of existence.

I am not yet fully equipped to speak about what I have endured - the relentless struggle to stay alive, both physically and mentally, nor can i speak yet about the deaths by hanging, murder, and medical neglect of my fellow prisoners.

I apologise in advance if my words falter or if my presentation lacks the polish you might expect in such a distinguished forum.

Isolation has taken its toll, which I am trying to unwind, and expressing myself in this setting is a challenge.

However, the gravity of this occasion and the weight of the issues at hand compel me to set aside my reservations and speak to you directly.

I have traveled a long way, literally and figuratively, to be before you today.

Before our discussion or answering any questions you might have, I wish to thank PACE for its 2020 resolution (2317), [https://pace.coe.int/en/files/28508/html], which stated that my imprisonment set a dangerous precedent for journalists and noted that the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture called for my release.

I'm also grateful for PACE's 2021 statement [https://pace.coe.int/en/news/8446/pace-general-rapporteur-expresses-se] expressing concern over credible reports that US officials discussed my assassination, again calling for my prompt release.

And I commend the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee for commissioning a renowned rapporteur, Sunna Ævarsdóttir, to investigate the circumstances surrounding my detention and conviction and the consequent implications for human rights.

However, like so many of the efforts made in my case - whether they were from parliamentarians, presidents, prime ministers, the Pope, UN officials and diplomats, unions, legal and medical professionals, academics, activists, or citizens - none of them should have been necessary.

None of the statements, resolutions, reports, films, articles, events, fundraisers, protests, and letters over the last 14 years should have been necessary.

But all of them were necessary because without them I never would have seen the light of day.

This unprecedented global effort was needed because of the legal protections that did exist, many existed only on paper or were not effective in any remotely reasonable time frame.

I eventually chose freedom over unrealisable justice, after being detained for years and facing a 175 year sentence with no effective remedy. Justice for me is now precluded, as the US government insisted in writing into its plea agreement that I cannot file a case at the European Court of Human Rights or even a freedom of information act request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request.

I want to be totally clear. I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today because after years of incarceration because I plead guilty to journalism. I plead guilty to seeking information from a source. I plead guilty to obtaining information from a source. And I plead guilty to informing the public what that information was. I did not plead guilty to anything else. I hope my testimony today can serve to highlight the weaknesses of the existing safeguards and to help those whose cases are less visible but who are equally vulnerable.

As I emerge from the dungeon of Belmarsh, the truth now seems less discernible, and I regret how much ground has been lost during that time period when expressing the truth has been undermined, attacked, weakened, and diminished.

I see more impunity, more secrecy, more retaliation for telling the truth and more self censorship. It is hard not to draw a line from the US government's prosecution of me - its crossing the rubicon by internationally criminalising journalism - to the chilled climate for freedom of expression now.

When I founded WikiLeaks, it was driven by a simple dream: to educate people about how the world works so that, through understanding, we might bring about something better.

Having a map of where we are lets us understand where we might go.

Knowledge empowers us to hold power to account and to demand justice where there is none.

We obtained and published truths about tens of thousands of hidden casualties of war and other unseen horrors, about programs of assassination, rendition, torture, and mass surveillance.

We revealed not just when and where these things happened but frequently the policies, the agreements, and structures behind them.

When we published Collateral Murder, the infamous gun camera footage of a US Apache helicopter crew eagerly blowing to pieces Iraqi journalists and their rescuers, the visual reality of modern warfare shocked the world.

But we also used interest in this video to direct people to the classified policies for when the US military could deploy lethal force in Iraq and how many civilians could be killed before gaining higher approval.

In fact, 40 years of my potential 175-year sentence was for obtaining and releasing these policies.

The practical political vision I was left with after being immersed in the world's dirty wars and secret operations is simple: Let us stop gagging, torturing, and killing each other for a change. Get these fundamentals right and other political, economic, and scientific processes will have space to take care of the rest.

WikiLeaks' work was deeply rooted in the principles that this Assembly stands for.

Journalism that elevated freedom of information and the public's right to know found its natural operational home in Europe.

I lived in Paris and we had formal corporate registrations in France and in Iceland. Our journalistic and technical staff were spread throughout Europe.

We published to the world from servers in based in France, Germany, and Norway.

But 14 years ago the United States military arrested one of our alleged whistleblowers, PFC Manning, a US intelligence analyst based in Iraq.

The US government concurrently launched an investigation against me and my colleagues.

The US government illicitly sent planes of agents to Iceland, paid bribes to an informer to steal our legal and journalistic work product, and without formal process pressured banks and financial services to block our subscriptions and freeze our accounts.

The UK government took part in some of this retribution. It admitted at the European Court of Human Rights that it had unlawfully spied on my UK lawyers during this time.

Ultimately this harassment was legally groundless. President Obama's Justice Department chose not to indict me, recognizing that no crime had been committed.

The United States had never before prosecuted a publisher for publishing or obtaining government information.

To do so would require a radical and ominous reinterpretation of the US Constitution.

In January 2017, Obama also commuted the sentence of Manning, who had been convicted of being one of my sources.

However, in February 2017, the landscape changed dramatically.

President Trump had been elected. He appointed two wolves in MAGA hats: Mike Pompeo, a Kansas congressman and former arms industry executive, as CIA Director, and William Barr, a former CIA officer, as US Attorney General.

By March 2017, WikiLeaks had exposed the CIA's infiltration of French political parties, its spying on French and German leaders, its spying on the European Central Bank, European economics ministries, and its standing orders to spy on French industry as a whole.

We revealed the CIA's vast production of malware and viruses, its subversion of supply chains, its subversion of antivirus software, cars, smart TVs and iPhones.

CIA Director Pompeo launched a campaign of retribution.

It is now a matter of public record that under Pompeo's explicit direction, the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and to assassinate me within the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and authorized going after my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking attacks, and the planting of false information.

My wife and my infant son were also targeted. A CIA asset was permanently assigned to track my wife and instructions were given to obtain DNA from my six month old son's nappy.

This is the testimony of more than 30 current and former US intelligence officials speaking to the US press, which has been additionally corroborated by records seized in a prosecution brought against some of the CIA agents involved.

The CIA's targeting of myself, my family and my associates through aggressive extrajudicial and extraterritorial means provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organisations engage in transnational repression. Such repressions are not unique. What is unique is that we know so much about this one due to numerous whistleblowers and to judicial investigations in Spain.

This Assembly is no stranger to extraterritorial abuses by the CIA.

PACE's groundbreaking report on CIA renditions in Europe exposed how the CIA operated secret detention centres and conducted unlawful renditions on European soil, violating human rights and international law.

In February this year, the alleged source of some of our CIA revelations, former CIA officer Joshua Schulte, was sentenced to forty years in prison under conditions of extreme isolation.

His windows are blacked out, and a white noise machine plays 24 hours a day over his door so that he cannot even shout through it.

These conditions are more severe than those found in Guantanamo Bay.

Transnational repression is also conducted by abusing legal processes.

The lack of effective safeguards against this means that Europe is vulnerable to having its mutual legal assistance and extradition treaties hijacked by foreign powers to go after dissenting voices in Europe.

In Mike Pompeo's memoirs, which I read in my prison cell, the former CIA Director bragged about how he pressured the US Attorney General to bring an extradition case against me in response to our publications about the CIA.

Indeed, acceding to Pompeo's efforts, the US Attorney General reopened the investigation against me that Obama had closed and re-arrested Manning, this time as a witness.

Manning was held in prison for over a year and fined a thousand dollars a day in a formal attempt to coerce her into providing secret testimony against me.

She ended up attempting to take her own life.

We usually think of attempts to force journalists to testify against their sources.

But Manning was now a source being forced to testify against their journalist.

By December 2017, CIA Director Pompeo had got his way, and the US government issued a warrant to the UK for my extradition.

The UK government kept the warrant secret from the public for two more years, while it, the US government, and the new president of Ecuador moved to shape the political, legal, and diplomatic ground for my arrest.

When powerful nations feel entitled to target individuals beyond their borders, those individuals do not stand a chance unless there are strong safeguards in place and a state willing to enforce them. Without them no individual has a hope of defending themselves against the vast resources that a state aggressor can deploy.

If the situation were not already bad enough in my case, the US government asserted a dangerous new global legal position. Only US citizens have free speech rights.  Europeans and other nationalities do not have free speech rights.  But the US claims its Espionage Act still applies to them regardless of where they are. So Europeans in Europe must obey US secrecy law with no defences at all as far as the US government is concerned. An American in Paris can talk about what the US government is up to - perhaps. But for a Frenchman in Paris, to do so is a crime without any defence and he may be extradited just like me.

Now that one foreign government has formally asserted that Europeans have no free speech rights, a dangerous precedent has been set.

Other powerful states will inevitably follow suit.

The war in Ukraine has already seen the criminalisation of journalists in Russia, but based on the precedent set in my extradition, there is nothing to stop Russia, or indeed any other state, from targeting European journalists, publishers, or even social media users, by claiming that their secrecy laws have been violated.

The rights of journalists and publishers within the European space are seriously threatened.

Transnational repression cannot become the norm here.

As one of the world's two great norm-setting institutions, PACE must act.

The criminalisation of newsgathering activities is a threat to investigative journalism everywhere.

I was formally convicted, by a foreign power, for asking for, receiving, and publishing truthful information about that power while I was in Europe.

The fundamental issue is simple: Journalists should not be prosecuted for doing their jobs.

Journalism is not a crime; it is a pillar of a free and informed society.

Mr Chairman, distinguished delegates, if Europe is to have a future where the freedom to speak and the freedom to publish the truth are not privileges enjoyed by a few but rights guaranteed to all then it must act so that what has happened in my case never happens to anyone else.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to this assembly, to the conservatives, social democrats, liberals, leftists, greens, and independents - who have supported me throughout this ordeal and to the countless individuals who have advocated tirelessly for my release.

It is heartening to know that in a world often divided by ideology and interests, there remains a shared commitment to the protection of essential human liberties.

Freedom of expression and all that flows from it is at a dark crossroad. I fear that unless norm setting institutions like PACE wake up to the gravity of the situation it will be too late.

Let us all commit to doing our part to ensure that the light of freedom never dims, that the pursuit of truth will live on, and that the voices of the many are not silenced by the interests of the few."

How bad are the Russians, how bad are the Ukrainians, how bad are the Israelis, how bad are the Palestinians, how bad are the Lebanese or how bad are the Iranians.

And you don't even realize that it's a struggle of states, that you don't give a shit.

There are good and bad people, but all states are bad.

If you are retarded you will simply applaud the side that says so on TV and say that everything that does not agree with you is propaganda.

If you are moderately intelligent you will support the side that benefits you economically, if you are intelligent you will not support anyone and will take actions that benefit you and your family.

As a European, the ukrainian war is benefiting you and your family? Energy prices skyrocketing, taxes going up because you have to finance the war, not to mention a possible escalation of the war.

It's all Russian propaganda of course, Putin pay me, first warning.


“that's propaganda” this is the answer you give if I post an article you don't like.

I have my own criteria, if you don't like what I post don't follow me, neither you are going to convince me nor I am going to convince you.

We are adults, in today's world everything is propaganda, nobody who is a public figure writes something without interest, only a crazy like me who does not need to be maintained by anyone, nor owes anything to anyone can write without interest, and I do not write, just to give my opinion, to put shitty memes and interesting information for you to think a little.

I am old enough to discern truth from lies and have my own criteria, do not come to me with paternalistic comments.

There are things that really piss me off.


In today's world, everyone is a propagandist...

And I can agree more with some than with others, in this case I agree with the Dugin analysis, I have my own criteria....


A second front in the new world war has just been opened

Aleksandr Dugin

A brutal war has begun to break out in the Middle East. After Israel's terrorist attack by using household appliances to mass murder Lebanese, a bombardment has been unleashed on the whole of South Lebanon. Israel has explicitly decided, after having been the victim of an attack, to launch a genocide on Gaza which is now being transferred to Lebanon. This attack means that other Shiite countries and movements such as Syria, Iraq, the Yemeni Zaidies and, most importantly, Iran (and perhaps at a later stage the Sunni countries) will join the fray. It is clear that Israel needs a war: a large-scale, ruthless, brutal one with biblical overtones it seems. This confrontation has no chance of becoming a one-off. The escalation of the conflict is predictable and the use of nuclear weapons, which Israel possesses and Iran apparently possesses, is not excluded. Of course, we are only talking about tactical nuclear weapons or “dirty” bombs, which in the context of humanity as such are not so deadly, but will affect the fate of the region catastrophically. The Lebanon war has several explanations, but we will focus on two:

First: the purpose and eschatological ideas driving Israel. It is important to understand the goals of the Jewish state. Of course, one could see Netanyahu's extreme radicalism as the result of psychological trauma after Hamas attacked Israel and took several hostages. It was a terrorist act, but Israel found nothing better to do than to respond to terror with widespread terror: a small terrorist act is met with gigantic terror, with no quarter, destroying everything and sparing no one. No one justifies the actions of Hamas, but what happened afterwards was genocide. Everyone condemned the Hamas attack and now everyone condemns Israel's genocide against the people of Gaza, except the collective West and its satellites. Double standards. The same will happen in Lebanon. The West is backing Israel as it did Zelensky's Nazi junta. And there is no reason to expect a change in this position (especially since Trump, while clearly despising Zelensky, is a staunch supporter of Israel).

But what does Netanyahu really want? The mental stress he is suffering does nothing to explain the real objectives of this war, which is only escalating. The fact is that Israel's situation on the eve of the Gaza war was generally stable. The main threat was demographics, since Israeli society is only a small ethno-religious island in the middle of an Arab sea; and it remains so even with the high birth rate not only of Orthodox Jews (haredim), but also of secular families. Even so, this number remains incomparably small compared to the Palestinians of the two bands and the population of the neighboring Arab countries, related to the Palestinians both ethnically and confessionally. In such a situation, it is not possible to strengthen Israel's position in the region, much less to colonize Palestinian lands with Israeli settlers. If this status quo were to be maintained, the State of Israel, as a State of the Jews, would be doomed to disappear after a certain period of time, even by virtue of demographics. All the more unthinkable is the realization of the right-wing Zionist project of Greater Israel from sea to sea. There is simply not enough population to colonize or develop these territories in the face of such a dense Arab mass surrounding them. In Gaza, we see the true objective of their attack: the physical genocide of Palestinians with forced displacement to drive those who survive out of Israel. As grisly as it sounds, this makes sense for Israel, being unable to abruptly change its own demographics it is still capable of destroying the Palestinian population, hampering their existence and the ethnic codes of its own eschatology.

However, all of the above would be hasty and unrealistic if it were not for the expectation that something extraordinary will happen and that this something will change the destiny of the world. This extraordinary event is not a “black swan”, but a real event: the coming of Mashiach. According to Jewish beliefs, before the coming of Mashiach (although, according to other versions, after his arrival, which explains the existence of anti-Zionist currents among Orthodox Jews), the Jews must return en masse to the Promised Land from all parts, proclaiming Jerusalem as their capital, and then demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque (the second most important shrine of Islam) to build in its place the Third Temple. Then the Messiah will come and all the nations of the world will worship him, for his authority will be absolute. This will be the time when the Jewish world empire will be established and the Jews, as the chosen ones, will rule all nations with a rod of iron. This is more or less the program openly advocated by the religious Zionists of Netanyahu's inner circle: Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and their spiritual leaders Rav Kook, Meyer Kahane and Rabbi Dov Lior. Palestinian genocide according to this interpretation is a minor side effect due to the fundamental nature of the coming event. These are precisely those who support Netanyahu. The construction of Greater Israel and the eschatological wars they have unleashed make sense as a preparation for the coming of Mashiach. And it is no accident that Hamas has dubbed its terrorist incursion the “Al-Aqsa Flood.” It should also be noted that it is among the Shiites that this scenario of the demolition of the Al-Aqsa mosque and the beginning of the final war with the forces of the Dajjal (Antichrist) in the Holy Land appears clearly defined by several eschatological hadiths. In other words, Armageddon, in its truest sense, is breaking out in the Middle East: the End Times war. This is how Netanyahu and his entourage see it, but also, from a different perspective, religious Shiites. Of course, secular Israelis, who believe only in shekels and individual comfort, are quick to launch demonstrations against their own government. And secular Shiite circles - especially businessmen and young people - know absolutely nothing about eschatological hadith. But history is not run by them, as we can see, but by people with a greater awareness of the end of the world and the events they have unleashed.

The second explanation for the war in the Middle East is geopolitical in nature. The main dilemma of our time is the following: the unipolar world, i.e. the single hegemony of the West, is doing its best not to end and is setting the world on fire. Meanwhile, the multipolar world is raising its voice loudly and each of the civilizations existing in the world is insisting on strengthening its sovereignty and thus claiming its independence from the collective West, which inevitably leads to a struggle against hegemony. The first front of this war is Ukraine, where the Nazi regime in Kiev, established, equipped and supported by the collective West, is at war against us, Russia as a sovereign Orthodox-Eurasian civilization, one of the most important poles of the multipolar world and flagship of the anti-hegemonic struggle. The West is waging this war using foreign troops, but is preparing to attack Russia directly. In this context, the Middle East is yet another theater of the same war of the unipolar world against the multipolar world.

While in the eyes of Netanyahu and Zionists who believe in eschatology (Israel and the destiny of the Jewish people is inextricably linked to the coming of the Messiah as the center of the world) for Western globalists Israel is nothing more than a tool in their struggle to maintain their global hegemony. The Islamic world, which rejects liberal values, is seen as an antagonistic civilization. The collective West is gradually being drawn into a war against it. At the same time, the Shiites are the ideological vanguard of Islamic civilization, so the West's attacks fall mainly on them. The West hopes to use Israel to strike at one of the poles - the Islamic world - of the multipolar world. That is why Washington is now strengthening its alliances with its Sunni vassals, mainly the UAE. Washington does not believe in the Mashiach (but who knows?), however, opening a war front against the Islamic civilization, using militant Zionism and the Greater Israel project, is a perfect target for the globalists.

Next will come Taiwan and the outbreak of another conflict with one of the poles of the multipolar world: China. Again, the collective West will rely on regional vassals - Taiwan itself, Japan, South Korea - and try to push India into this conflict. Although India is another pole in the multipolar world, this whole move could precipitate a radicalization of decolonization and growing anti-Westernism in New Delhi, implying greater sovereignty for this country. The West carried out a color revolution against the pro-Indian government of Bangladesh led by Sheikh Hasina. Obviously, other war fronts are also being prepared in Africa and Latin America, as well as in various regions of the Islamic world. All these scenarios will decide the fate of the coming world order: either the West will retain its hegemony or the multipolar world will become a reality and the West will become one of several civilizations entitled to vote, but deprived of its status as hegemon and even world leader. But for the moment we are in the second phase: on the threshold of a major war in the Middle East.

Before figuring out how we should deal with this second front of the great changes taking place in world geopolitics, it is necessary to clearly understand the objectives of the global participants in this conflict and not to have unnecessary illusions about the rational and mystical-religious motives of the main forces at play. Today we need geopolitical realism that calmly and moderately takes into account all the fundamental factors of the complex situation in which Russia and all of humanity find themselves. Emotions must be set aside in favor of a cool-headed assessment of what is happening, including those dimensions that we were not used to taking into account during the Soviet and liberal era. In the past, everything was explained by ideology, economics, energy and the struggle for resources. All this is still present today, but it is certainly not the main problem. Eschatological, civilizational and planetary-geopolitical considerations carry much more weight. For too long we have studied matter and neglected the world of ideas. Yet it is ideas that move the world.

WTF Happened In Feb 2023?

Scams and spam on Bitcoin pose multifaceted threats to the integrity and efficiency of the network. This particular wave of spam started from a bug exploit in Feb 2023. Such abuse not only disrupts the network's primary function as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system but also compromises its long-term viability and value proposition.

While spam may attempt to evade through technical manoeuvres, proactive measures, such as updating default filters, remain crucial to mitigating its impact and preserving Bitcoin's sound monetary properties. To find out more and what we can do about it, read more below.

https://wtfhappenedinfeb2023.com/


Good morning. War in the Middle East has, quite rightly, pushed markets and finance off the FT’s homepage and most-read rankings. But the world of money keeps on turning. Email and tell us what is going on while the world’s attention is elsewhere: robert.armstrong@ft.com and aiden.reiter@ft.com.
Your regular liquidity update

Unhedged looks at liquidity conditions every couple of months, because we are convinced — at least in the abstract — by what we can loosely call the liquidity theory of markets: that when there is an increasing amount of cash around, investors try to get rid of the stuff, an attempt that pushes asset prices up. Similarly when the cash tide rolls out, asset prices will tend to fall. This stands in contrast to the fundamental theory of markets, where asset prices fluctuate around a stable mean set by the present value of their future cash flows.

The problem is that liquidity is not at all easy to track. The amount of cash in the system is hard to quantify, and showing how and when it affects prices is tricky.

With that somewhat uneasy introduction, let’s have a look at current conditions. Back in June, we looked at the popular federal liquidity proxy, which consists of:

    The Fed’s balance sheet, or the Treasuries and agency securities it has bought out of the market, replacing them with cash

    Plus the bank term funding program, a Fed cash facility for banks

    Minus the Fed’s reverse repo balances, which the Fed uses to control it’s policy rate by pulling cash out of the system overnight

    Minus the Treasury’s general account, which represents taxes collected but not yet distributed — that is, cash pulled out of the system

Charts of the proxy alongside the S&P 500 were very popular in 2021 and 2022, when the two moved together. But they have stopped doing so, and the divergence has only grown since we wrote in June. Federal liquidity is falling outright and the market continue to rise:

https://m.primal.net/LGNO.png

The pure theory of federal liquidity, aka “printer go Brr,” (or is it “Brrr”? We need a style ruling on this) is looking worse all the time.

Several readers have argued that the liquidity proxy ought to include something else: Treasuries and agency securities held on bank balance sheets. The idea is that while government bond issuance has no net effect on liquidity (government has more cash; private sector has less), when the bond is owned by a bank, it is matched by a deposit on the liability side of the bank’s balance sheet — and the amount of money in the financial system is increased. For example: the government writes me a stimulus cheque for $1,000. I deposit the money in a bank, and the bank uses the deposit to buy a Treasury. There are now more deposits (money) in the system. If I’d just received the check and bought the Treasury directly, there would be no impact on liquidity.

The level of government bonds on bank balance sheets has been rising this year, from about $4tn to about $4.4tn. But adding this to the Federal liquidity proxy is not enough to make it correlate — even roughly — with the sharp rise in the stock market over the past year:

https://m.primal.net/LGNP.png

Perhaps we need a different, and preferably wider, measure of liquidity. Readers have urged me to simply look at US bank reserves held at the Fed as a measure of extra cash sloshing around the system. But those have been drifting down this year too, in the opposite direction as the market:

https://m.primal.net/LGNR.png

So let’s go simpler still, and just look at the money supply. Here is M2:

https://m.primal.net/LGNS.png

At least M2 is rising. But only very gently. Can that really explain the strength of this rally?

Given the refusal of the US big-cap stock index — the biggest, deepest reservoir of risk assets in the world — to line up neatly with all these measures of liquidity, can the liquidity theory of asset prices be salvaged? Here are some options:

    We could argue that liquidity operates on assets with (to use a neat phrase I just came up with myself) long and variable lags. What matters, in other words, is the huge increase in the total level of liquidity from 2020 to 2022 (and even in the years following the great financial crisis), rather than the changes in liquidity over shorter periods. That massive level continues to echo through markets in an uneven way. I find this idea quite appealing, though it has a downside. It deprives the liquidity theory of its predictive power. It says “there was a huge burst of money, and that will keep asset prices high for some unknown period of time.” Probably true, not very useful.

    We could argue that prices are anticipating an increase in liquidity that will be driven by Fed rate cuts. As rates fall, that should all else equal increase credit creation (indeed total bank credit has been rising gently since early this year). And credit creation is money creation. We’ll have to see if this plays out; if there is a recession, it won’t.

    We would argue that the most important form of liquidity creation is government deficit spending, which is and has been very high and overwhelms every other measure. I also find this view appealing, but if this is right, why not just dispense with all the liquidity talk and say, contentedly, “so long as deficits stay high corporate profits will stay high and the market will rise”?

    One can build a still more comprehensive, more global account of liquidity. This is what, for example, Michael Howell at CrossBorder capital does. He thinks that while central banks are withdrawing liquidity (not only in the US, but also in Japan, Europe and the UK; China is the exception), there are several offsetting factors. For example: as rates fall, sovereign bond values rise, meaning financial market players can borrow more against them, adding to liquidity. Reinforcing this effect is the fact that bond volatility has been falling (somewhat unevenly) since early August. When bond volatility is low, borrowers need fewer bonds as collateral for loans.

    We could argue that the effect of liquidity is damped right now because there is low velocity of money in the financial system. That is, there is a lot of cash around, but it is just sitting there in money market funds earning a decent yield, rather than chasing risk assets. This theory would imply that as rates and cash yields fall, the liquidity effect on asset prices will reassert itself. But unless you have a good measure of velocity of money within the financial system specifically (as opposed to velocity of money in the economy in general, for which there are standard measures) then this is just hand-waving at something that sounds like “animal spirits” or “greed.” And if sentiment is the decisive factor, we should just talk about sentiment.

This is a fork of the official Boltz Web App served at boltz.exchange, which allows non-custodial swaps between different layers of Bitcoin. It adds the ability to list backend APIs in addition to Boltz's, so that a user can get a better deal.

Any node can now run boltz-backend and compete with Boltz at SwapMarket.

In addition to potentially lower costs, executing Bitcoin swaps via SwapMarket reduces centralization in this domain and helps avert regulatory pressure on Boltz.

And isn't god a leader?

Yes, although I am not a traditional believer, I do not believe in god as the leader they sell us, neither do I believe in religious institutions, I would say that I do not believe in god either, and if there is a god it is something much more transcendental, something like the creator of the universe, in my case I simply believe in god as respect for my ancestors and my culture.

Traditional communism and modern statism try to make people not believe in anything, religion and culture are the fabric that binds us as human beings in the same values and objectives.

Men and women without goals and beliefs are the perfect fuel on which modern statism feeds.

So if the state tells me that I don't have to believe in god, I will do it with more strength, I believe in god, god dictates my destiny, god is almighty and omnipresent, even if that god is my conscience, it makes no difference, because I believe either in myself or in god.

There is no point in bitcoin being censorship-resistant and distributed if the code is not.

- they can censor the repository because it is in a centralized service.
- They can censor, coerce, imprison and kill developers because many are not anonymous and use a centralized service.

The code is as important as the executable.

Make the code also uncensorable and distributed.

WAR

As a totally convinced anarcho-capitalist I find it ridiculous to support either side in a war. War is created by governments, if you support one side, you are only supporting a government, supporting one of the parties and ignoring the crimes committed by the party you support.

War is the worst act of the human being, in wars brothers are killed between brothers, children and women are killed, and women are raped by both sides, in war nothing is respected.

It is before a war when you have to think with reason and not with the heart, if you are in a war territory flee you and your family, your mission is to protect them, never fight, never fight for a government, life is the most precious good we have.

Kill if you have to protect your family, but never kill in the name of the government, don't be a puppet, don't be part of their despicable plans.

#Bitcoin helps you to protect yourself also from wars, on the one hand, your government cannot create Bitcoins to finance itself and it is practically impossible for them to seize them, on the other hand if you live in a hot territory, consider having most of your wealth in Bitcoin to be able to flee without problems.

Whether you are Palestinian, whether you are Israeli, whether you are Ukrainian, Russian, or from any nation at war, do not fight for your government, your government does not give a shit about you, you are just gunpowder to fuel the fire, the children of your politicians do not go to war, your politicians do not go to war, while you die, while your children and women die, the politicians are so quiet in their air-conditioned office eating caviar and drinking champagne while fucking whores.

https://www.youtube.com/live/EkJA067lAfA?feature=shared


Great interview with Michael Howell, one of the men who best understands the phenomenon of global liquidity.

Highlights:

- Global liquidity drives the markets
- Markets rollover every 5 years, creating 65-month liquidity cycles.
- Every 7 years global liquidity doubles (this is increasing).
- Gold has a 1.5 multiplier against a 100% increase in global liquidity.
- Bitcoin has a multiplier of 4.5% versus a 100% increase in global liquidity.
- Importance of the MOVE indicator that measures the volatility of the US bond system since the real mission of the Federal Reserve is neither to control inflation nor to protect the labor market, the real mission of the Federal Reserve is to keep the bond system stable, i.e. with low volatility.

https://www.youtube.com/live/EEU7Th4oBiQ


This is the picture of where we are.

The liquidity of the dollar system is stable at the moment.

Liquidity in m2 is rising, mainly due to the Chinese central bank.

US bond system balltility remains huge.

Things we are waiting for Bitcoin to turbocharge.

The liquidity of the dollar system increases, in this case the equation has three factors as I mentioned above.

Fed Balance Sheet - (TGA +RRP)

The bond market balltility (move) decreases among other things because of the ease of bank credit.

My friend Fiat, you have little time left.

https://m.primal.net/LCew.png


I love Arthur Hayes' analysis.

I excerpt this chart from his latest analysis because it is just great.

The green line is the Federal Reserve interest rates.

The white line is the MOVE index which measures the volatility of the US bond market. I love that you have exposed this index as it is one of the few I use. The MOVE index is important because we can measure through it the liquidity of the dollar system. A high bond market volatility, high MOVE, can indicate lack of liquidity, on the contrary, a low MOVE is synonymous with liquidity in the markets and stability.

For Bitcoin to rise the perfect storm is:

Liquidity in the dollar system (Fed Balance Sheet - (TGA +RRP)) + rising global m2 + falling MOVE.

Now comes the good stuff. The next indicator that the chart incorporates is a combination of excess bank reserves held at the Fed and other deposits and liabilities, the ODL which as Arthur indicates is a good indicator for commercial bank loan growth.

Unfortunately this indicator is only found on Bloomberg terminals and is key to bitcoin growth as it can measure commercial bank lending which is the other important leg of money creation, although such growth is included in the m2 (as loans end up in deposits or bank accounts), it is not isolated.

What Mr. Arthur explains is that the dollar system needs low volatility in its bond system in order to be saleable and to be able to finance itself, that leads us to need to print more and more money each time.

As you can see, from 2008 onwards the previous story gets smaller, the amount of credit needed to stabilize the system (low MOVE) is brutal. Again in 2020 we move up a level, and now in 2024 we find ourselves with high MOVE volatility that has to be reduced to stabilize the system.

We are on the verge of another Brutal money printing.

I have been emphasizing for many years that liquidity is what moves the markets, now I am seeing that many are beginning to realize it, in the same history of my posts you can see it.

If I had to explain the phenomenon, I would say that the FIAT system evolves and goes through different phases.

When the gold standard was abolished in 1971, for example, technical analysis stopped working, technical analysis tries to predict the behavior of prices but prices from then on were dictated by interest rates and interest rates are dictated by a hidden oracle of people, this can not be predicted, simply assets began to follow the price of money, the price of assets began to dictate the central bank.

From 2008 onwards we entered another phase, where the balance sheet of the central banks became more important than private credit.

In 2022 we enter another phase, where interest rates no longer matter, only liquidity matters, which is no longer linked mainly to interest rates.

We could say that we have moved from a more “predictable” system where fundamentals and technical analysis could work, to a system where asset prices are largely influenced by monetary policy decisions, central bank balance sheet expansions and liquidity flows which, in this last phase, seem to be decoupled from traditional interest rates.


I only post Arthur's analysis that I find interesting, I appreciate that you like my viewpoints too!


Interest rates no longer matter, what matters is liquidity, Bitcoin is a proxy for liquidity, if you notice, bitcoin has risen with the highest interest rates in the last decade because while interest rates were rising money was being injected with the BTFP bank bailout program.

I collaborated with Sam Callahan to analyze bitcoin’s correlation with global broad money supply.

The result was that it had higher directional correlation to money supply than other asset classes, at 83%.

We also looked at indicators for when bitcoin is more likely to deviate from liquidity. In other words, what’s usually going on in that other 17%. The answer, generally, is that the asset is coming down after major periods of extreme sentiment.

You have a very biased opinion, recently documents were published in Spiegel magazine showing a declassified document from 1991 where the non-expansion agreement is in writing.

Just by telling you that the United States is not an empire we have little to talk about.

Ukrainian war, objective facts.

- Russia has invaded Ukrainian territory.
- Ukraine has massacred Russians on Ukrainian territory for years (Dombas).
- NATO has reneged on its promises of non-expansion.
- The U.S. has used Ukraine to confront Russia and Europe, taking two pieces off the board, leaving it with China.
- The US through intelligence agencies has done everything possible to make the war break out, starting with the Maidan protests.
- Ukraine and the allies are using the same strategy that Britain used against Germany, rejecting all peace agreements and provoking an escalation of the war.

So the sad reality is that Ukraine is being used by the military-industrial complex and as a linchpin for the preservation of the status quo of the U.S. empire.

That Russia is the one who has invaded? Yes, but neither can we ignore the quite logical reasons to understand the conflict, and understand that there have been two parties interested in the war, we must also be clear that both Russia and China want to see the hegemony of the Yankee empire fall.

As with WWII, there can only be one left, Ukraine and its allies or Russia.

As an ordinary man there is little you can do, if you promote more violence in an initial state of war like the current one, that violence will end up in the opposite direction, against you, because it will escalate more and more on both sides until the annihilation of one of the two.

Really if you find yourself in a territory of war the only thing you can do is to leave, it is sad but it is so, do not enter into that game, material things are restored, life is not.


Supporting a war whatever the side is the most immoral thing you can do, in war the warlords win, the warlords sell weapons and finance both sides, if you don't understand this you are retarded.

This is the historical price chart of Monero with respect to Bitcoin, in the same way that in the Fiat, Bitcoin makes its upward movements in a few days a year, statistically less than 9 days. If you keep your wealth in Monero or Fiat, you have everything to lose because you will not hit those 9 days of upward movement.

Privacy is important, but preserving your wealth is important too.

For this reason I prefer to use techniques that maintain my privacy while keeping my wealth in Bitcoin.

I like swaps but to be fair there are some things to keep in mind.

You have to protect yourself against the other peer (tor) otherwise it will know your ip.

Also the swap protects you very well against the chain analysis of a third party, but the other peer knows what you have done, depending on the threat model is useful or not. For a normal user it is more than enough, but not for a spy.

On the other hand, centralized atomic swap services such as boltz can be a problem because of the information they can collect.

This problem is mitigated by using decentralized atomic swap tools like UnstoppableSwap (btc-xrm) although unfortunately nothing like this exists for bitcoin.

A blind coordinator for example does not know to whom the mixed bitcoins go, if we add a good use of tor circuits (not the case of samourai) (wasabi does it better without being perfect) gives an almost perfect privacy beyond the statistical problem of correlation.

That is why it is important to consider the use case.


Correct.

Although there are other ways to anonymize bitcoin if you need to.


I have been involved in privacy, security, pentesting and virtualization all my life and more than 25 years of self-investment (trial and error), I consider myself an investor rather than a computer scientist.

I know something of both worlds.

I have used monero, believe me, I appreciate its technical qualities, I consider it a privacy tool, but I don't consider it a place to put my money.

Face it, I need private ways to spend my Bitcoin, not monero.

Today we continue to debunk myths about Lightning.

Many ignorant people appeal to the voltage documents, the attack by polling for the sender is mitigated using MMP and AMP, enabled by default in Zeus.

Even with Zeus we can mitigate the lack of privacy for the receiver through the LSP by using Invoice wrapping which hides the public keys of the receiving node.

The reality is that Chainalysis offers lightning service and they can't know anything we don't know. They can only know the node information generated through the invoices and correlate the payer information with KYC. But they still can't know which node the payer funds are coming from.

BOLT12 will substantially improve the recipient's privacy through blind routing.

The most obvious proof that chainanalysis can't do anything is that you can clean bitcoins from theft or coinjoins with Lightning and put it into an exchange.

It's all about understanding things and being able to use them to your advantage, everything has its use case.

Use cases:

- I have bitcoins coming from Coinjoins and I want to put them into an exchange without getting banned - Lightning.
- I want to send bitcoins privately so they don't know how many bitcoins I have (exchange) or can track me - Lightning
- I want to clean the trace of some bitcoins I received - Coinjoin
- I want to receive bitcoins anonymously - swaps

https://m.primal.net/KyyL.png


Good morning!

Another proof of Lightning's privacy in sending is that you can quietly put tinted bitcoins into the Exchange (if it supports LN), if that is not proof enough.

I already announced months ago that for this reason LN would be banned on exchanges.

And here I finish, you can crucify me now.  🙃

nostr:note1af2qtdfw4g0kxkrmwg6kwllrfvwxryj4nfgrz8l0hgdu9237tl6shnmaxl


And something that many people forget, payments in Monero are still on a blockchain available for when there is a vulnerability in CT for example, payments in Lightning are not stored anywhere but in the log of the Wallets involved.

nostr:note1t9e96nsp8fxatp2sngpz60c07ytuh5r0xlgqxmu7dhg78v6axm8sr5uwxe


The theory is fine, Lightning has many possible vulnerabilities with respect to privacy but so does Monero, even Monero has been under attack and vulnerable for a long time.

Theory is fine but you have to put the attack into practice.

I feel that many of you here are aspergers and don't understand that things are not black and white.

To your regret, Lightning offers a good level of privacy for the sender and it is easy to get a good level of privacy for the receiver through swaps without having to resort to a shitcoin.

😉


I'm not asking you to tell me who I am, I'm just asking you to tell me from which node the payment comes from and to which address or chain the receiving payment ends up... 🙃


How you Monero boys are, I'm offering you 1 bitcoins if you track my payments but you don't want to and the culprit is me 😂.


Bingo 🎯


Cope harder. You couldn’t trace the payment and neither could anyone else.

You can’t even explain how it would be done let alone do it. You don’t know shit about the LN. Maybe just don’t comment on shit your clueless on?

You’re just dug in cuz your Monero shitcoin is obsolete.


I bet you a bitcoin if I make a payment to you and you find out who I am, in the same way if you make a payment to me you have to find out where that payment goes to the chain (here I will use something else besides lightning).

A lot of quackery but Lightning is private enough for the average Joe.

nostr:note19yxkpgpxlxau5cvc3e4quje72vza7re3mw3ry63uaajj2h374jrsc0tarn


Lightning has almost perfect privacy for the sender and now with bolt12 also for the recipient...


😂 then you don't understand LN and you believe the bullshit told by influencers who have never used it in their fucking life.

Ask yourself why in Germany kraken a banned Lightning, something I predicted months ago.


The German federal police just executed a major, concerted crackdown on non-KYC exchanges:

"The operators of the now shut down exchange services are accused of knowingly concealing the origin of criminally obtained funds on a large scale through inadequate implementation of legal requirements for combating money laundering (so-called know-your-customer principle), and thus of having made themselves liable to prosecution for money laundering and operating criminal trading platforms on the Internet in accordance with Sections 127, 261 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 No. 2 and Paragraph 4 of the Criminal Code."

Are questions to be answered, before you just jump in for any "announcement":
1. Did somebody already reviewed that code? Or we have another case like ANOM? https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/146/
2. Are people still use onchain for payments ? Seriously? In 2024?!
Reminder:
- onchain is the final settlement, only for long term holding
- LN is The Payment Network of Bitcoin that could offer waaaay more options for privacy. If you still didn't find them, it means you don't know too much about LN.

Living in the past (prer-LN era) will cost you a fortune if you are stuck in not adapting.


It helps but you still have a sim and GPS in your pocket.


In these two notes I show that the Rothschilds have a stake in the Federal Reserve and that the Federal Reserve is a private entity, I do not say it, a legal court says it.

Now search about this information in the different “artificial intelligence” engines, they will tell you that the Rothschilds participation in the federal reserve is a conspiracy theory and that the federal reserve is not a private entity (mixed model blah blah blah).

Artificial intelligence is an opinion maker, it will only show you one version of history, don't use it to learn, it is a tool of mass control.

Chart of who "owns" the Federal Reserve

Published 1976
Chart 1 reveals the linear connection between the Rothschilds and the Bank of England, and the London banking houses which ultimately control the Federal Reserve Banks through their stockholdings of bank stock and their subsidiary firms in New York. The two principal Rothschild representatives in New York, J. P. Morgan Co., and Kuhn,Loeb & Co. were the firms which set up the Jekyll Island Conference at which the Federal Reserve Act was drafted, who directed the subsequent successful campaign to have the plan enacted into law by Congress, and who purchased the controlling amounts of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 1914. These firms had their principal officers appointed to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Advisory Council in 1914. In 1914 a few families (blood or business related) owning controlling stock in existing banks (such as in New York City) caused those banks to purchase controlling shares in the Federal Reserve regional banks. Examination of the charts and text in the House Banking Committee Staff Report of August, 1976 and the current stockholders list of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks show this same family control.

This is now much worse, and about the last intervention of Mcafee's video, this is how Pegasus software works.

They don't need to implant any xip, the mobile device is the biggest mass surveillance device that exists, and we carry it voluntarily.

Our behaviors are predictable thanks to it, and if you have a predictable behavior you are easy to govern, that's why we live under more and more draconian conditions and do nothing.

By being able to predict the behavior of people en masse, they can apply the theory of the frog in the boiling pot, that is, apply the changes gradually so that we do not rebel.

Advice if you collaborate in bitcoin privacy projects.

Always use anonymous development accounts (Github, Gitlab...), don't keep permanent profiles, use them a few times and never use them again.

Create the profiles behind tor or vpn, obviously don't use your email account.

If you need your project to have reputation keep the founding account until your project gets traction, then disappear and come back with another account (after giving up the maintenance).

You'll have to leave your ego behind, but it's better that than ending up in jail.


Stop spending your money on conferences where you go to suck each other's dicks and contribute in one way or another to bitcoin privacy.

 Images of the lunar landing sites (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter)

https://m.primal.net/KwlE.png


Following  nostr:npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd's post I want to raise the question of whether man went to the moon.

Despite being a conspiracy theorist, or so I am told, I believe that man did go to the moon for several reasons.

- Images of the lunar landing sites (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter). These images are from 2009, although we can argue that they were taken by the US and could be false.

- The Chinese Chang'e 2 probe managed to capture images of the Apollo landing sites in 2012. Although not at the same resolution as NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) images, these photos also showed the location of lunar modules and equipment left on the surface.

- Retroreflectors on the Moon. During the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 missions, astronauts left retroreflectors on the lunar surface. These devices allow pulses of laser light to be sent from the Earth to the Moon, and the retroreflector returns the light, allowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon to be measured with great precision. Some observatories and universities have conducted experiments using these retroreflectors, and the results are publicly available.

- Moon rock samples. The Apollo missions brought back 382 kilograms of lunar rocks, which have been analyzed in laboratories around the world, including institutions outside the U.S. These samples have been studied by independent scientists and have unique characteristics that differentiate them from terrestrial and meteorite rocks.

- International verification. It is not only the U.S. that has monitored these missions. Other countries, including the Soviet Union, which was competing in the space race, and nations with advanced tracking capabilities, verified and acknowledged the landings. For example, the Soviet Union did not refute the Apollo missions despite being in the midst of the Cold War.

What do you think?


I neither know nazis nor hamas nor hezbollah, but if you claim I belong to them I am very proud to be an extremist Islamist.

I hope you understand my point 😂.


Please don't use against me the appeal that you are a Nazi because I don't think the same as you, because I am indeed a Nazi.

I hope you understand that it has no effect on me, and that I am proud to be what you say I am.

https://m.primal.net/Kwha.png


Saying that any opinion you don't like is Nazi is the same thing that fascists/communists do, especially the current ones (Wokes).

Don't use that resource, it's an advice, it's a way to discredit the opposite without any kind of argumentation and denotes a lack of honesty in the speech.

Lastly, I don't think anyone got the point of my post, Saylor has no children.


It is doubtful that a person who does not have children can look beyond his or her own self-interest.

Only those with offspring can look beyond their own death.


Totally agree with you


There are a lot of red flags with him. Cornering #Bitcoin  as a store of value only, which enables government control through taxation; advocating for the USD as our MoE and centralized Bitcoin holdings via ETFs and strategic reserves to avoid a parallel system; to align with Banks, Corporations, Wallstreet etc etc
Not to mention his past.


Michael Saylor is not a bitcoiner, he is an agent Smith, if he were a Bitcoiner he would not say this nonsense.

"If i put a $100 billion into bitcoin and get 0% yield that's just as bad as $100 billion in US bonds and pay 0% yield, in both cases they're non-performing assets". -

"Scandal in Germany. A public television program (ARD) hires an actor to pose as a normal citizen and warns of the dangers of AfD, “a wolf in sheep's clothing”."

This happens in all countries, 100% of what is on television is either a lie or extremely manipulated. Television is the instrument of indoctrination of the state and the powerful.

SEC has just granted accelerated approval for the listing and trading of options on $IBIT.

And you think they are not controlling bitcoin?

- First they created cash-settled futures (Fiat), which made it possible to create paper bitcoin.

- When they already had a huge futures market with the CME, then they gave way to ETFs to be able to control the price, ETFs are also cash settled (Fiat).

- Finally they have approved options, also not redeemed with the underlying, redeemed with Fiat.

You must understand that the three Bitcoin institutional instruments, Futures, ETFs and options all revolve around Fiat and not Bitcoin, they are all cash settled. The only one that affects Bitcoin volume are the ETFs and even then they are not redeemed on the underlying.

They are trying the same play as with gold.

The money changers, i.e. the old bankers (Rothschilds) knew that to get into power they simply had to have as much gold as possible and create the loan/interest system.

This is what they are doing now with Bitcon, taking Bitcon away from the people.

Saifedean explains very well in his book Patron Fiat that in a Bitcoin system it won't make much sense to lend Bitcoin for interest.

What can you do?

 - Never deposit Bitcoin in a bank.
 - Create circular economies, black market, grey market, counter economy.
 - Never pay taxes on Bitcoin.
 - Never give Bitcoin to a government, before they are lost.

Vamos a hacer un repaso de cómo funciona el cine español con los datos del primer fin de semana de este largometraje y a rebuscar un poco cómo se ha financiado:

El 13 de Septiembre se estrenó Hotel Bitcoin: una alocada comedia en la que la trama se basa en que los protagonistas tienen un tesoro escondido en un hotel, que obviamente serán Bitcoin... (no me hagáis más preguntas), pero para mi que le han añadido lo de Bitcoin para llamar la atención.

Sólo hay datos para el primer fin de semana (13-15 Septiembre), que suelen ser los mejores datos dado que es el estreno.

En total Hotel Bitcoin en su estreno recaudó el primer fin de semana:
53.932 €
8.162 espectadores
ranking 14 de la semana

No soy productor pero creo que no son muy buenos números, pero bueno, ahora llega la siguiente pregunta: ¿cuánto ha costado hacer la pelicula? (o más bien, cuánto NOS ha costado hacerla. Pues me he puesto a rebuscar entre las ayudas concedidas a películas y BINGO:

Presupuesto: 2.250.808,00 €

Es verdad que la película es la que menos recibe de todas las solicitantes, aunque no entiendo los criterios de calificación que parecen sacados de la Universidad de Misco Jones, aunque eso sí, si el proyecto es de una directora mujer, tienes más puntos (que alguien me explique) https://www.cultura.gob.es/dam/jcr:3c670488-486d-4e9f-9456-024d527c4b2f/propuesta-resolucion-provisional-ayudas-generales-2024-primer-procedimiento.pdf

Y lo mejor de la descentralización de España es que no sólo hay "un subvencionador", he encontrado también ayudas del gobierno de Murcia por hacer la peli en su comunidad por 100.000 €  https://www.criptonoticias.com/comunidad/entretenimiento/murcia-espana-financia-pelicula-sobre-bitcoin-golpe-cripto/

Y no descarto que haya más ayudas de la UE, de productoras de cine asociadas a TV, etc... y que la peli haya salido casi gratis porque vamos...

Sé que la peli luego se comercia en plataformas, TV, etc... pero la verdad, sólo quería poner de manifiesto lo innecesarias que son este tipo de ayudas para hacer el cine, pervirtiendo los buenos trabajos qu se autofinancian y subvencionando más bien a plataformas de streaming y a TVs privadas que a la vez recibirán dinero por emitir y producir este tipo de películas con el dinero de todos los españoles.

¡VIVA EL CINE HESPAÑOL!

Agorism is Not Anarcho-Capitalism

"The goal of this essay is three-fold. First, I will identify the key concepts which outline the philosophy of Agorism and the strategy of Counter-Economics, as outlined by Samuel E. Konkin III in The New Libertarian Manifesto and An Agorist Primer. Second, I will illustrate how radicals of all stripes can utilize the strategy of counter-economics, as described by Konkin, without necessarily endorsing his philosophy of Agorism and it’s specific tenets. Finally, I will describe what sets Agorism apart from Anarcho-Capitalism and other schools of thought. I will show that although the Counter-Economic strategy can be utilized by nearly any individual, Agorism itself is not simply a strain or subset of Anarcho-Capitalism, but a unique political philosophy of its own."

The Agorist Archives, announced on February 23, 2021, is an ongoing effort by KoPubCo to digitize, curate, and preserve the articles, papers, notes, letters, calendars, and recorded speeches of the originator of Counter-Economics and Agorism: Samuel Edward Konkin III (7/8/1947 – 2/23/2004).

Ideally, relays should implement the Tor network's pow system, which has been quite effective in stopping ddos attacks.


I honestly don't know where the spam drama is in Nostr, with Primal there is no spam 😂


Will you include binaries for the different operating systems?


Very good idea, a cross-platform application to sign events, freedom of browser and freedom of operating system.

The first thing is to ask yourself:

- Why do you want a VPN?
- What do you expect from a VPN?

Personally I don't like them, they don't protect you from anything, they simply serve for example to evade the denouncements of certain governments for p2p downloads or to be able to visit websites that are blocked in your country, they are not useful for offering privacy.

Any “legal” company is bound by the laws of the Fiat system, it cannot protect you.

If you want privacy Tor or i2p.


Movilizarse no tiene porque se antilibertario, en un sistema anarcocapitalista, el único contrapoder del gran capital serían los sindicatos horizontales y ello requiere algo de organización, pero desde mi punto de vista el interés siempre tiene que nacer del interés individual y no del colectivo, porque el interés individual no se corrompe (a no ser que te corrompas a ti mismo, que falles a tus principios) y el interés colectivo sí.

Por otro lado, no creo que el independentismo catalán fuera mejor que lo que tenéis actualmente dado que son políticos del mismo cariz. Simplemente cambiarías de amos, son todos ladrones.

La única opción para mi (es una utopía actualmente), es liberalizar la democracia a través de las ciudades estado, ello crearía competencia entre las distintas ciudades para ofrecer mejores servicios y también crearía competencia entre los diferentes sistemas tributarios.

Los nacionalismos políticos juegan con el sentimentalismo de la patria, pero confunden deliberadamente patria con estado, patria es tu familia, tus amigos, la tierra que pisas, tu lengua, la patria no tiene bandera y menos dueño.

I recently gave Mullvad Browser a try but it still doesn't convince me for my daily browser.

For those who don't know, Mullvad Browser is made in collaboration with the creators of Tor browser and Mullvad VPN.

And also collaborates the creator arkenfox (user.js) which is applied in LibreWolf (Thorin-Oakenpants).

Basically the Mullvad browser is the same as Tor, but without Tor, with all the advantages and disadvantages that this entails.

The main difference between Mullvad and LibreWolf is that Mullvad, like Tor starts in private browsing mode and LibreWolf does not, this has implications in daily use as described below.

The disadvantages I see with respect to LibreWolf:

- It does not support Firefox Containers
- Not being able to share session between tabs.
- You can't add exceptions for cookie clearing on closing
- No flatpak version.

The advantages:

- Better update system
- Financial and Tor team support (The browser is based on the Tor browser code)

So I'm sticking with LibreWolf for now.


La democracia siempre es la dictadura de la mayoría, nunca me ha parecido un sistema justo. Para ser “más” justo desde mi punto de vista, tendría que atomizarse.  Es decir, volver a un modelo de ciudades estado como en el renacimiento. La explicación es muy lógica, si aplicas una democracia a un territorio muy vasto, obligas a quien no esté de acuerdo con el sistema a desplazarse fuera de él recorriendo largas distancias geográficas con todo lo que ello implica (trabajo, hogar, familia…). En cambio si volvemos a las ciudades estado cada una con su legislación y “democracia”, el cambio de sistema se hace mucho más fácil, solo tienes que cambiar de ciudad si no estás de acuerdo con sus condiciones.  Sería el libre mercado de la “democracia”.


No es más fascista aquel que viste un uniforme militar si no aquel quien intenta borrar la historia.

La izquierda española ha hecho un trabajo excelente manipulando la historia y ocultando sus crímenes durante el Franquismo y sobre todo su historia previa al Franquismo.

La izquierda española nunca ha sido demócrata, solo buscaban ser una república satélite de la union soviética.

Nunca defenderé una dictadura, pero tampoco voy a defender la mentira, ni tampoco la democracia, solo defiendo la libertad y la verdad.

With over 100 millions users already, and expanding more every day, Bitcoin's taproot identity (which powers nostr), with schnorr signatures, is spreading rapidlly.  It also has the possibility to be further integrated into web standards.  That would mean bitcoin and taproot have a chance to become the native payment infrastructure of the web.  If we dont mess it up!  Hopefully one step in the right direction is allowing single sign on, to any website, with Taproot Identity and Schnorr:

You can access the web from tor without any problem and you can use the app over tor without any problem.

Many are unaware of the history of the Rotchschild family behind the central banking conglomerate and the BIS.

I recommend this documentary as a historical index and from here you can go pulling the thread.

A farce


Interest rates are no longer the key, the key is liquidity, bitcoin has risen in a high interest rate environment because liquidity was injected through the BTFP bailout program.

Today's is just a pantomime.

A NUMBER OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES EXPLODED IN THE SOUTHERN SUBURB OF BEIRUT - AFP, CITING A SECURITY SOURCE.

🤔


The reporter claims to have “evidence that shows that in several cases German law enforcement authorities were able to locate the Tor entry node of onion services and thus successfully deanonymise Tor users. V2 and V3 onion addresses were affected at least between Q3/2019 and Q2/2021.” The reporter further claims that “law enforcement agencies used so-called timing analyses and broad and long-term monitoring of Tor nodes in data centres.”

Lo que esta pasando en el congreso de los diputados de España con ciertos periodistas es denigrante y grotesco.

Es un ataque total a a libertad de expresión y es un trato totalmente vejatorio hacia el periodista.

Votando no vas a solucionar nada, solo el agorismo es la solución.

Empieza por ahorrar en Bitcoin y quitarle el poder de financiarse a estos parásitos de la clase política.

Lo segundo es intentar crear economías circulares al margen del estado y los impuestos.
