🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

I spent 35 years building banking systems for banks worldwide, including central banks. I know how banks decide where their money goes. When you build systems, you have to make them work, so you have to know how they work. The Basel Committee de-industrialised the countries that adopted its rules. It's that simple: I explain the whole complicated mechanism in my essay. They simply regulated it away because that was the most profitable thing to do. It was implemented in such a systemic global way, and nobody seemed to notice Capital is what a bank must hold before it can lend, the way a manufacturer or miner must hold supplies before it can sell. No miner doubles their costs to serve one group of customers. But that's what the banking system does to miners and manufacturers. Since 1988, the Basel rules have required banks to hold twice the capital against a factory loan as against a home loan, and under Basel III the gap reaches five times. So banks lend less to industry and more against houses. It should be stopped tomorrow. Manufacturing's share of GDP fell in ten of the eleven countries I examined. In Australia it fell from 13.7% to 5.4%. Every other country that followed fell as well. The only truly crafty ones were the Koreans, who did a good job of offsetting it. Regulators were warned in writing that the rule would steer credit, and they adopted it anyway. No parliament voted for it, and it's simply too dumb to keep doing, but we do . Not today; there is no justification. Yet from India, across Europe, across the US, including Australia, sanctions against industrial capacity. Financialization has gone too far it needs to be reviewed . The charge is manslaughter by gross negligence. The mechanism is proven. Same Rules, Different Ruins:ctindale.substack.com/p/same…

Jonathan Goodman had lost more than 18 Bitcoin from the Coldcard vulnerability. He was asked what he would say to the Coldcard founder if he was sitting across from him:

Don’t let the SHIT CUNTS get you down

Kellogg: “We need to mobilize Ukrainian women.” Kellogg came to Ukraine to kill all our women. Meanwhile another $200,00,000 will flow through his daughter’s fund Well, that was helpful.

Looks like Coldcard was a state-backed, inside job spanning multiple years of careful planning. The revelation of earlier tweets like the one below heavily suggests that this was long premediated by Coldcard insiders. The heist was optimized around max public shock value and minimum discretion. Given all the facts, we must answer: - Why did the attacker completely disregard privacy by consolidating stolen coins into a single address? - How did the attacker, who clearly planed this for a long time, fail to plan to cover their own tracks? - Why did the attacker use KYC'd service providers? - Why did Coldcard make these "wink-wink easter egg" posts about this exact bug around the same time the bug first appeared in the code base? - If it was merely a "retirement attack," why not exercise discretion so you could actually retire? - Why did the timing line up with major politically relevant developments like CLARITY and a bear market? The only theory that answers all these questions well is a state-backed operation involving Coldcard insiders. It was never about the money. It was about attacking self custody, one of the core premises of Bitcoin. I did not want to make this accusation initially even though I did suspect it. Now the evidence is on my side so I am adding the insider point to the theory. The folks who think there is no conspiracy need to answer some hard questions: If you think it is a script kiddie using an open source LLM like Kimi, you need to answer why he would do this but not ask Kimi or Google how to cover up his tracks despite planning at least for a few months. If you think it was a random Bitcoin hater who doesn't care about the money, you need to answer why Coldcard put out these clearly suggestive tweets at the same time. (Note: you can say coincidence, that's your right). Skeptics: I would love to hear your answers! For me the inside job theory squares all the corners and also explains the company's actions over the last few years. - Antagonizing security researchers -> less visibility into code - Discredit competitors -> cause confusion - Heavily fund the marketing engine -> draw in the hardcore Bitcoiners; promote a strong brand association with self custody - All these easter eggs + NVK hating plebs -> mock the would-be victims and create learned helplessness All of this comes together really well to the mess we have today.

Feel like this guy has waited his whole life to say this. Incredibly eloquent and accurate appraisal of the failure of Western elites.

Enough of the foreign wars. The American people do not stand behind this.
