I’ve been called racist and islamophobic hundreds of times today for outlining Restore Britain’s policy on banning halal slaughter, the burqa, sharia law, cousin marriage and plenty more.
I want to be really clear about our party’s official response.
We do not give a shit.
@schafer_von@thehealthb0t Is there a difference between ingestion & going direct to bloodstream? e.g. average adult intake via food is ~8mg/day. Absorption into blood is ~0.1%. 8mg X 0.001 = 0.008mg (8mcg) per day. Average vaccine 0.125-0.625mg. 15-80x more aluminium from a shot versus a day of digestion.
Finally a truth-oriented view. #grokipedia
SV40: Simian vacuolating virus 40
Grok:
administered to an estimated 98 million people in the United States between 1955 and 1963
Wikipedia:
Some vaccines made in the US between 1955 and 1961 were found to be contaminated with SV40
People who still manage to have normalcy bias blow my mind.
Your government took all of your money, spent it on programs to get rid of you and causes that you would never support, gave women fake busywork jobs with high salaries so they would stop respecting you, helped your enemies slander you and deny you employment, allowed foreign people to overrun your homeland, diluted your currency, transferred all of your wealth to themselves, put propaganda in the news, brainwashed the nation's children to think that cutting their dicks and tits off is fun and cool and will make them happy, promoted degenerate entertainment, manufactured a pandemic to justify removing your rights, lied to you about the risks of the cure they made for the disease they made, encouraged and organized riots, allowed criminals to harm you but prosecuted you for defending yourself, and knowingly employs numerous murderers, inside traders, warmongers, and sex criminals who can easily be blackmailed.
And some of you are still out here like "things have always been this way."
Is denial really that comfortable?
.@naval: There was a story that I read about @elonmusk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something.
And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.”
And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust.
And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it.
Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes.
Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy.
He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything.
So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.
Education is splitting into two halves:
1. parents who are down for glorified daycare that meets the minimum standards
2. parents who yearn for something incredible, and are willing to sacrifice their time and money to make it happen
Precocious imp does it again, drawing from Chesterton, Tolkien, and Burke. It's what I'd try to write if I had a) talent and b) time spent NOT playing Bach, Strozzi, Monteverdi...I'd be jealous if I weren't grateful. @allenf32 https://t.co/aHoNc96BXr
HISTORY IS RUNNING IN REVERSE
The Bitcoin ETF is the spiritual reversal of Executive Order 6102. Back in 1935, they seized the gold. But now, digital gold is back.
Ninety years ago, FDR and his fellow travelers rode the 20th century arc of centralization. The chokepoints of then-new technologies for mass media and mass production allowed them to gain control over the population, recruit top talent for their "Brain Trust", and seize the gold after a series of epic legal battles[1].
Those gold clause cases are forgotten today, but received as much contemporary coverage as 9/11 or the Moon Landing. They were the most important issue in the country, receiving far more coverage than seemingly comparable Supreme Court decisions like Roe vs Wade. Why?[2]
The reason is that the transition from a gold-backed to fiat-backed system was comparable to a soft communist revolution, as the *visible* seizure of gold laid the groundwork for the *invisible* seizure of wealth via money printing.
And the classically trained judges at that time fully understood this. Justice McReynolds' then-famous dissent denounced the ruling in the harshest terms, noting that the "Constitution is gone" and the "dollar...may be 30c tomorrow, 10c the next day, and 1c the day following".[3]
McReynolds was right.
While the court was forced into a grudging institutional surrender by FDR's threat of court-packing[2], the gold clause case affected every economic decision-maker in the country, as it amounted to the US government explicitly defaulting on its bonds by seizing the assets of its citizens, laying the groundwork for the century of monetary debasement to come.[4]
Now all of that is unwinding. FDR's team could ride the wave of centralizing technology that built giant states around the world. But today, technology today favors *decentralization* — personal computers, end-to-end encryption, mobile phones, and of course cryptocurrency [5].
Thus, top talent isn't being pulled into a government Brain Trust. It's being brain drained *out* of the US establishment. And as a consequence the epic legal battles are, on balance, going our way.
It's not just the DC Circuit case.[6] The ideological conflict between decentralization and centralization is reflected in the 3-2 vote for the Bitcoin ETF approval itself. Read Peirce's brilliant pro-liberty approval[7], Crenshaw's dour denial[8], and Gensler's reluctant approval[9].
You'll see echos of the gold clause case, but in reverse. This time, it is the centralized state that is being forced into a grudging institutional surrender. And a surrender it is, as Crenshaw's dissent[8] makes clear:
"...there is no primary regulator for the bitcoin spot markets. Spot bitcoin ETPs will be participating in an unregulated, fragmented, continuously traded, global free-for-all. Even if there were a primary regulator for this market, much of it could be beyond the reach of U.S. regulation..."
Let that sink in! This is what the US establishment truly fears: not Bitcoin as "fraud", but Bitcoin as freedom. They want to rule not just you but the world, so they're scared of the prospect of "a global free-for-all..beyond the reach of US regulation". And they know that any spot ETF will bid up the price of self-custodied Bitcoin outside their control[10], as Satoshi intended.
So: since FDR's seizure of gold, our lives have revolved around the centralized state rather than the decentralized market. The state has had control for so long we've forgotten what freedom is like. But now gold is slipping out of their hands, and back into yours.
History is running in reverse.
