anything without consensus which someone attempts to force MUST be rejected as a matter of principle, for bitcoin's very immutability depends upon it. fortunately this is the n-th time and bitcoiners and the market immune system are getting stronger at it with each failed try.
We repurchased 288,930 shares of $STRC for $25M at an average price of $86.52 per share. We intend to remain a regular, disciplined buyer of STRC below $100. More at deeper discounts, less as STRC nears $100. Another $975M remains available for our prefs. https://t.co/cpUNofIcBy
Turns out I was throttled in 2020 for opinions AGREEING with the bias of 10/12 scientists; Fauci and his ilk believe in different rules for the elites versus the rest of us.
This SHOULD open the eyes of many who were “shocked” that I and @elonmusk et al “rudely” attacked Fauci.
🚨Fauci’s own diary just dropped.
Feb 1, 2020. The secret call that produced "Proximal Origin."
12 scientists on the line.
Only 2 thought the virus was natural.
The other 10 — per Fauci's own notes — "felt that deliberate insertion was possible."
They flagged Shi Zhengli's gain-of-function work on coronaviruses in Wuhan by name.
8 days later, Fauci went on Newt Gingrich's podcast:
"I've heard these conspiracy theories. And like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories."
Then Facebook and Twitter banned you for saying the same thing his own scientists were telling him privately.
I sat on the syndicate desk of a global investment bank from the dot-com crash through the global financial crisis.
We had to do a lot of media work to promote deals. One day I asked our Global Head of Communications why the media was so gentle with us.
He laughed:
“Because we’re one of their biggest advertisers.”
That explains a lot of the media’s treatment of Elon.
Tesla is so successful, its ad spend is effectively zero, or ~0.01% of the $40 billion global auto advertising market.
No ad dollars = no protection.
No one knows this better than Big Pharma.
They don't make confusing and enigmatic ads to sell you product; they make the ads to control the media.
Hating any group besides straight white men is racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.
But hating straight white men?
Well, that's social justice, obviously.
