Between social media, the “let’s move on” Democrat holding the highest office in the land, the AG -doing what?, TFG whose banned from Twitter but continues to be enabled and out front & center by the MSM, Amazon employees being treated like chattel while Bezos markets his space tourism & Sinema mocking & ignoring a constituent while leaning in on Tim Scott in a Tucson airport I feel like totally checking out…I listened to the first season of The World Beneath and see our society as solidly the privileged & corrupt vs everyone else. The privileged are so detached from the reality of the majority and so many don’t seem to care. The image of the privileged, in my mind is the image from The Hunger Games of the Uber wealthy climbing over each other to reach what? Are we doomed? (Asking for a friend).

Heading towards a Revolution that will make the one in 18th Century France look tame

French Revolution was caused because the king repudiated the national debt instead of raising taxes on the rich.

It feels that way for sure, but I don't think so. There is more that unites us than divides us, and we have to focus on those things and demand them. Would be helpful if the MSM would help, and maybe they ultimately will.

Here's what I know: bitcoin is not different in any way, shape, or form from regular money, and in fact, is usually more volatile. The minute I hear "the sky is falling" crap like this from crap like Jack Dorsey, I completely tune out. He's going after the financial world equivalent of Trump supporters -- the people who are afraid of their own shadows and always think they know more than the rest of us because they *get in on the ground floor* of the latest and greatest bullshit.

And Dorsey only pretended to ban Trump from Twitter. Liz Harrington, Trump's sock puppet, still posts his "statements," which are just long-winded tweets on a letterhead. Twitter's rules are supposed to cover this, and although pointed out thousands of times, Dorsey ignores it.

The picture above should tell anyone all they need to know: THAT is the picture I expect to see first when typing "douchebag" into Google Image Search.

There may well be good things about bitcoin, but its main function is for organized crime to not have to rely so much on cash and money laundering techniques.

And that is exactly the point. Non-traceable “assets” is what cryptocurrency/bitcoin is.

The MSM amplifies the dumb asses among us. Jack Dorsey should realize he’s no genius, just one of the lottery winners of tech. We should not give one ounce of attention to a wanna be oligarch who in another life would be just another Jeffrey Lebowski without the charm. BTW I believe I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of my own banishment from Twitter for retweeting one of your tweets regarding “The Traitors are East to Spot.” Keep up the great work Greg. We who are in possession of a soul appreciate your work.

Banned as well for post listing Goebbels 4 main rules for propaganda with the reference to Murdoch/republican techniques.

While half of me was chuckling as I began to read this, three names popped my happy bubble: Snowden, Tulsi Gabbard and John Galt. I thought I'd better wake up and pay attention! Thanks for this excellent expose of a Pied Piper with no values, other than his mythical "bitcoins." I'd as soon as invest in a cloud.

Thanks Greg. I’m so worried. But, I know I’m worried with so many others. Nicolle Wallace just asked Marc Elias if Democrats are aware of the emergency we are in? He responded he wasn’t sure. I think many are. I also think way to many have checked out. Virginia will be a tell.
