A biological attack is planned for Saturday
600 million pounds of sugar laced with synthetic chemicals will enter the bodies of our children.
Wreaking metabolic havoc, injuring vascular architecture, acidifying oral lining, releasing bacterial toxins, and blunting neural reward pathways.
Instructing that gluttonous consumption of poison is celebratory.

My post about France went viral. Thousands of likes. Many Americans told me: "Democrats aren't socialists. America will never be France." I want to answer that seriously, step by step.
Start with a simple observation. Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing.
What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved: subsidies, mandates, licensing, zoning, regulation.
College. Washington lends students almost unlimited money. Universities know the money will always come, so they raise tuition and hire more administrators. The student pays the bill for twenty years. More government money, higher prices.
Housing. Why can't a nurse buy a home in the city where she works? Not because of capitalism. Because of zoning laws, permits, environmental reviews, years of procedure to build a single building. The most expensive places to live in America are the places where it's hardest to build. When building is nearly illegal, prices explode.
Healthcare. The patient almost never sees the price. A third party pays, regulations limit who can compete, and costs climb year after year with no one able to say no.
So here is the trap. The problems you suffer from are not the failure of free markets. They are the places where the market has already been replaced by the state. And the solution you're being offered is more of the same.
That's the Trojan horse. It always works the same way. A real problem. A generous-sounding promise. A program that makes things worse. Then the failure of that program becomes the argument for the next one. People who lived under communism in Poland learned to recognize the lie and the mask the lie wears. The lie never presents itself as a lie. It presents itself as compassion.
In France we are at the end of that road. Debt we can never repay. Young people who can't afford a home. Our best people leaving. And every few years our cities burn. Nobody voted for this. They voted for one more generous promise, fifty years in a row.
If you're a Republican, share this with the Democrat in your life. Not to win an argument. To start a conversation.
If you're a Democrat, I'm not asking you to switch teams. I'm asking you to look at the pattern. Wherever the state took over, life became unaffordable. Don't fix the failures of government with more government.
Stay American. Ask for less state, not more.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

America has lost the settler pride
those who bled and built
who fought and died
Now spat on by pirates
crooks and thugs
Looting the tax slaves
for more fiat drugs
There’s only one solution
to a problem so grave
reconquer our nation
relearn to be brave
100M invaders with homelands they’ve left
won’t return quietly, enjoying spoils of their theft
But watching them torch civilization
is a fate worse than death
Come together for freedom
or come together for blood
for it’s the strength of our ancestors
or their demon gods
one final battle winner takes all

At some point we should have a serious discussion about giving some of these collapsing Central and South American socialist countries to Nayib Bukele. El Salvador is too small for a man of his stature. And these countries are ruled by retards.

Where were the signs that investing in hype and virtue signaling instead of fundamentals wasn’t a good idea? 😒🤡 🤦🏼♂️
VC’s dumped billions of dollars into fake meat and plant-based “alternatives” the world didn’t / doesn’t need, and now they’re acting like they aren’t responsible for the agtech bubble that popped in late 2021.
Entrepreneurs -especially young ones straight outta PhD land- are going to follow the (easy) money and prevailing trends, especially if focusing on just sound business principles that consistently grow (albeit “slowly”) isn’t sexy enough to raise money needed to scale quickly.
Investors should take a hard look in the (rearview) mirror if they want to learn from the mistakes of the past decade and avoid them going forward.
Business fundamentals should have ALWAYS been paramount.

No state should ever issue money. The only reason they ever do is for their own good, not the people.
They don't 'use it' to build anything. They cannot create wealth by issuing money, they can simply take people's wealth.
You keep thinking that this new money is being conjured out of thin air and that if only we deployed it for good instead of evil, good things happen. It isn't conjured out of thin air; it is only ever STOLEN. Absolutely no chance a thief will do you a favor by spending your money instead of you. There is no amount of feel good propaganda that will ever legitimate theft or make it productive.
If people contribute their seashells and work for the elders' plan willingly without coercion, the project could work. If it's coercive, it's going to fail and it's theft.

It may seem counterintuitive, but the biggest meat and dairy producers are going all in on the Great Reset vision of a "plant-based future" built on new alternative proteins, including insects. These companies, like Tyson, rather than having everything to lose, have everything to gain, because they can more tightly control and profit from these new commodities.
Many of the technologies behind alternative proteins, including "plant-based meats" and lab-grown meats, can be patented, allowing these commodities to be owned in a way that the traditional alternatives just can't. This is what corporations want: total vertical integration from production to plate.
The companies are furiously rebranding themselves not as producers of traditional foodstuffs -- meat and dairy -- but purveyors of macronutrients and one in particular, protein. Tyson has already trademarked "The Protein Company", for example.
I talk about this at length in my most recent book The Eggs Benedict Option. Understanding why the world's biggest food producers are happy to abandon their traditional product categories is key to understanding the future that's planned for the global food chain, and how it will be controlled in a way that gives ordinary people no real choice over the foods they eat.

I think a large majority of the people in the world are done with the constant war and their corrupt criminal governments. The propaganda has been so thick in each of our countries for decades, but now with the internet allowing free access to information and perspectives from every side all at once, we're all starting to see the patterns and find out what they actually want and who our leaders really are...
Dishonest degenerates who are captured by evil dark forces that hate humanity and want to exterminate a large portion of us before they build their new world of transhumanism, hedonism, materialism, and totalitarian control of all resources and the life cycle of earth.
We beat them by becoming self sufficient and cutting them out of our lives wherever we can.
Growing our own food, creating and storing our own energy, trading within our communities, and being free of their MSM MKUltra mockinbird propaganda that's trying to trick us into hating each other.

Fiat judges by stated intentions.
Bitcoin judges by real results.
Flip your mentality.

I was already thinking outside of convention before Bitcoin, but getting into BTC really gives you the OBEY glasses on everything. The framing of almost everything is around invalid premises that we often see catastrophically failing and the question of how to change is ignored.

If I didn’t have to fuck I’d move to Montana. Get a cabin; some acreage. Out there you can own a pond. Maybe; I have no fucking idea. But I’m pretty sure you can get a place on a fuckton of land with a breathtaking view of snow capped mountains and possibly a creek running through it where you can flyfish, if you’re into flyfishing. Huge meadows, maybe lightly forested, that bloom in the spring with tiny delicate wildflowers. Songbirds massing on trees to pick berries in the fall; stopping through on their way to Panama. Elk. Deer. Wolves maybe. Bears. Maybe one nosy and mischievous bear with whom you are constantly in an arms race as he finds more and more fiendishly clever ways to get into your garbage and you find more and more Rube Goldbergian ways to keep him out, and you secretly respect and take delight in such an adversary until one day he mauls your dog and you have to just shoot him. Then he becomes an awesome rug for your hearth. His face snarling in the firelight, even though in life he just looked a bit curious and dumb like a gas station attendant who hasn’t done math in fifteen years trying to figure out a piece of long division.
If I didn’t have to fuck I’d move to Montana. Cold clean snows, a big garden; big blackberry patch like you would find in the woods when you were a kid and come out looking like the Passion of the Christ. A wife who would home can these berries. Scold me for eating too many fresh; that’s a jar of preserves you’re gonna miss in the winter. I will look up guiltily with my lips purple and give her one of those chimp grins with seeds in my teeth. Incorrigible. She’ll playfully bat me with her wooden spoon, which she has boiled to prevent botulism. My wife is no home canning slouch.
Little towheaded kids running around, swimming in the creek; I have given them a very serious lecture on staying away from rattlesnakes. Dad is usually jovial so it’s a little scary when he’s serious. The rattlesnake is more scared of you than you are of him. Freezer with an elk in it. My wife is sick of elk jerky; we all are. We are sick of elk stew and elk fritters and elk salad and elk whateverthefuck but it’s going to be the better part of a decade before we are done eating this god damn elk. Elk chili. She is sick of conscientiously braising game meats so it’s not like biting into a fan belt when you try to eat it. Just once she would like to fry something in a pan for five minutes and be done. Just once she would like to order some fucking Chinese, but it’s the god damn Pony Express out here. There are no Chinese people in Montana. A guy would have to haul those little paper cartons over a mountain pass on a mule to get Chinese food here.
But yeah… just a cabin in a big field surrounded by flowers and animals. Big clouds at sunset; big thunderstorms. Once I find a woman I’m going to take her away there. Live on a little compound.
That’s what I want. A wife and towheaded kids and we can talk to each other and then do the rest of our talking on the internet. Because the things that make me happy are the sky, plants, and animals. The squirrel who drinks from my cat’s water bowl, who tries to get her paws on the rim and her little head at water level but just ends up tipping the bowl over and drinking the runoff– work beats the shit out of me, and I’m always hung over, but this ne’er-do-well thirsty squirrel makes me smile every time. A hummingbird drinking from a flower. Hawks circling and they do that “screeeeeee” just like on TV, echoing through the canyons as though life were returning from a commercial break on Northern Exposure. Things that make me smile are squirrels and flowers and hawks; things that make me miserable are offices and traffic and phones. Liars and hacks; hustlers; loud pushy cruel Hollywood jerkoffs. Give me a rural mountain pastor with a secret small penis humiliation porn stash every time.
Now all I need is the wife. Someone who shares this dream with me. Wake up with the dawn, look out at the meadow, smile at our towheaded kids, fresh trout from the stream for breakfast; live a simpler life. Someone who wants to get rid of this corruption of the spirit with me and sit on the porch and sing and talk in the twilight; you home can the berries and I’ll protect you from the wolves.

Bitcoin, as it is, saved my family from hyperinflation in Lebanon. It is entirely essential to my life. It works perfectly fine for me as it is. It is not some "cool" piece of software whose next iterations I'm "excited" about. It is my lifeline. If it never ads a single capability, it will still be the most important technological innovation of my lifetime.
If you want to to introduce ANY changes to its software, I am going to be extremely skeptical about adopting them on my node. You're not just experimenting with adding features to another app on my phone; you're asking to rebuild my lifeboat with my family on it. I need to see extremely compelling evidence for why these changes are necessary, and extremely compelling explanations for why they do not pose any risks.
Like most bitcoiners, I have been harassed and hounded for years by BIP300's well-funded cringe marketing machine, but the more I look into it, the less convincing it is. Nothing in the motivation seems necessary or even useful. I simply don't care about "killing shitcoins" nor do I see any value from adding any of their features to bitcoin, since I know their features are just vaporware to promote ponzis. A significant number of plausible risks are waved away with cavalier indifference. It somehow fixes all problems and ends all trade-offs. And its promoters have more red flags than a Soviet parade: a history of questionable judgments on bitcoin issues; funding from shitcoiners responsible for the most serious attacks on bitcoin, like Garzik, Ver, and Brekken; the strong support of countless other shitcoiners; and worst of all, the resort to ridiculous fear tactics and the insistence that bitcoin is in a dangerous crisis which only BIP300 can fix.
Bitcoin is permissionless, so i cannot stop you from doing sidechains. Liquid, RSK, and RGB are doing something similar and I simply don't care. But if you need me to do anything with my node to accommodate you, the answer is going to be a very firm no.

If you made $500,000 per day, every single day since the Great Pyramids were built, you would have less than half of what the US govt has borrowed since June.
Should probably buy some #Bitcoin
