The $MSTR mission creep I always said would come.
Even though Strategy doesn’t need the money, it is conditioning investors to believe that selling Bitcoin to fund dividends and yield is a normal part of the new Strategy playbook.
The result is a structure that normalizes Bitcoin distribution back into the market whenever cash flow is needed to support dividends and yield.
In effect, they’re building the infrastructure for short-term Bitcoin price management while training investors to view it as prudent capital allocation.
A gift to the Financial Industrial Complex.
Bitcoin was designed to separate money from the financial system.
The FIC wants Bitcoin integrated into the same system of custodians, leverage, yield products, and paper claims that dominate traditional finance.
Strategy accelerates that transition by making Bitcoin sales, dividend policies, and yield engineering part of the accepted model.
It is what it is.
Bitcoin can be used by anybody.
But Bitcoin in self-custody is the resistance.
In the long run, the FIC doesn’t want you to own Bitcoin. It wants to custody your Bitcoin, tokenize your Bitcoin, lend your Bitcoin, and issue paper claims against your Bitcoin.
The goal is simple: keep you a paper-Bitcoin slave while they accumulate the real asset instead of you.
Not your keys.
Not your Bitcoin.
🇦🇷 Peter Thiel has temporarily relocated his family to Argentina, purchased a $12 million mansion in one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighborhoods, and enrolled his children in local schools.
🇺🇸 When a state like California starts introducing a wealth tax, it is not because politicians are socialist or stupid.
It’s because they want to drive out the wealthy on purpose and reduce the tax base, deliberately asset-stripping the state for private institutional ownership that can use the tax code to secure exemptions and advantages.
It’s not because politicians are stupid.
It’s not because they are radical left-wing communists.
That’s the narrative that keeps you locked into the belief that the left has the back of the poor, while the right gets to point at the left when the state goes to shit.
It’s because the state is being acquired by the financial-industrial complex, and the resulting civil unrest serves the private prison sector of the military-industrial complex.
At the same time, they install a police and surveillance system that benefits the technological-industrial complex powered by Palantir.
The same one Peter Thiel works for.
It’s a business model.
Anywhere you see a wealth tax, it’s an end-game asset-stripping exercise that gives more power to the wealthy, not less.
They are not coming after billionaires.
They are transferring wealth to billionaires.
By design.
ALL POLITICIANS WORK FOR THEIR CORPORATE LOBBIES.
Stop believing in left-versus-right politics.
It’s a distraction from the reality that you vote with your money.

Few writers captured the darkness of the human soul like Shakespeare.
Among his villains, Lady Macbeth stands out as uniquely terrifying.
Worse than a mere murderer seeking the throne, she's a villain who wills the very marrow of her soul into corruption. This is made most explicit by her prayer, right before goading Macbeth to murder King Duncan:
"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse...
Come to my woman's breasts,
And take my milk for gall"
Notice she doesn't just pray for strength, nor success, but asks to be "unsexed." She's praying that dark spirits destroy her femininity and her maternal instinct.
In classical terms, she's attempting to invert the very structure of her soul: to abolish her conscience, escape the moral order, and thereby justify murder itself. As such, she becomes an embodiment of the witches' creed:
"Fair is foul and foul is fair"
Of course, Lady Macbeth's attempt to transcend the moral order does not go well. She succeeds in abolishing her humanity, and is driven mad.
Her arc becomes a warning that human nature is fundamentally tied to morality. The attempt to redefine morality is an attempt to redefine human nature.
And to abolish one's nature is to abolish one's soul.
@patristicpill And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent and the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman. WhEn did this happen?

Your smart TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 500 milliseconds.
Every show, game, video call, every laptop you have ever plugged into the HDMI port. The TV photographs all of it and ships the data back to the manufacturer.
On May 12, the law firm Peiffer Wolf filed a federal class action lawsuit against Hisense. Their smart TVs in millions of American living rooms capture screen content every 500 milliseconds and route the data through their Chinese parent companies, which are subject to laws compelling them to share that data with the Chinese government on demand.
Every major smart TV brand sold in America does the same thing. Samsung. LG. Sony. TCL. Vizio. Roku. Amazon Fire. The technology is called "Automated Content Recognition."
The data goes to the manufacturer's servers, then to advertising partners, then to data brokers, then to political campaigns.
Vizio executives admitted in 2021 that selling viewing data generates more profit than selling the actual televisions. By 2023, Vizio's platform revenue, which is mostly ads and harvested viewer data, hit $598,000,000.
The customer is the inventory.
75% of American households have a smart TV with ACR running. Roughly 100,000,000 homes. You paid the cartel to install the camera in your living room.
The fix takes 2 minutes. On every brand, the setting is buried in a privacy menu labeled with something polite like "Viewing Information Services" or "Live Plus" or "Smart TV Experience."
Toggle it off. Better yet, unplug the TV from the internet entirely and use a streaming stick you actually control. The screen does not need a network connection to display content.
Unplug it tonight.
@LukeDashjr@LighttheFireIAu Sorry but you need to acquine yourself with "Papism as the oldest Protestantism" By Saint Justin Popovic. Papism indeed is the most radical Protestantism, because it has transferred the foundation of Christianity from the eternal God-Man to ephemeral man.
