Reform theater is the most addictive drug for politics enjoyers. Very few stop to ask: Who decides what counts as "reform"? Most people will just accept "reform" as proof the system works, even when nothing substantive changes. In reality, a political reform is just a creation of a release valve by labeling controlled adjustments as big transformations. Look at how powerful this politician is! He brought back plastic straws. Based! And of course, it goes both ways. E.g. Elon Musk on something truly reformative such as Bitcoin: "Dogecoin is better, it has lower transaction costs!". So, the meta question is: Who decides what counts as "reform"?

If you stop at 'follow the money', then you only have most of the story on a very small scale. On a larger scale, it is much more involved. Follow the money. But people rarely follow money rationally, they follow the appearance of fairness, security, or autonomy. E.g. Welfare programs framed as empowerment are control structures disguised as generosity. Follow the incentives. And yes, money is one incentive. However, power, stability, prestige, safety, blackmail material often outweigh money. Money motivates, but Fear often overrides it - fear of loss, chaos, humiliation. In fact, fear overrides EVERYTHING (including logic). Follow those who can force outcomes (those who hold the most leverage). These are the Stability and Control Maximizers - they optimize not for wealth, but for survival of their institution. The narratives they are pushing often become the stories people tell themselves. These are the people who control the Permission Layer - even if they don't own the specific assets, they control who gets permission to use them (e.g. SWIFT which provides the messaging network through which international payments are initiated).

How Bitcoin's story could become Gold's story based on incentives and psychology. 1/ More and more Bitcoin influencers pushing people toward synthetic exposure via companies who mostly don't provide proof of reserves, fewer and fewer Bitcoiners actually hold their own keys. Just look at the salaries and bonuses these treasury companies execs are paying themselves, Bitcoiner plebs are paying premiums to NOT hold their own keys and practically align with the State. 2/ ChatGPTs answer to my question Having the perfect tech is not enough if the majority of people don't care to use it. 3/ The big question is: can governments get CBDCs right without major mess ups? As of now, 137 countries and currency unions, representing 98% of global GDP, are developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) - so practically everyone - it's kind of obvious - we have a world government. Governments have been researching and developing CBDCs since before 2014, but the official narrative states that their interest became significant around 2014, so they are really trying to get this CBDCs thing right. Can they make CBDCs friction-less and make BTC annoying to use for your average normie (regulation, taxation at point of conversion, surveillance). 4/ Re privacy coins 5/ The likely base case CBDCs will very likely come with: - UBI deposits (that you won't be able to use to buy Bitcoin) - Instant settlement for bills/taxes. - Welfare + subsidies integrated. So for your average normie "Why hassle with Bitcoin when my CBDC wallet just works"? If this happens, Bitcoin stops being transactional; it’s just a "hard asset". In a time when most of the Bitcoin economy exists as ETFs, custodial wrappers, and synthetic products, the narrative will become "Bitcoin is fine as an asset, but unsafe/unnecessary for payments". It's very simple, for the vast majority of people comfort > sovereignty. So you kind of have to hope that governments mess up with their CBDCs rollout - they glitch at scale (multi-day outages, privacy scandals, mass mistaken freezes). You kind of have to hope that eventually a large BTC custodian (e.g. Coinbase) is caught short real coins (rehypothecation scandal), so that people start self-custodying again. You kind of have to hope for plug-and-play self-custody + amazing non-custodial, widely-adopted Lightning applications (e.g. Fedimint/Cashu) to reduce friction levels to near-CBDC or even better. 6/ The SEC approving "spot" Bitcoin ETFs with 3-2 votes was some of the best kosher theater I've seen. 7/ Nowadays, you don't really win against governments, it's just shades of losing A true Bitcoin breakout requires financial system confidence breakdown + self-custody culture surge - as of now, very unlikely, but possible. Will Bitcoin's story become Gold's story? Unless there is a major fuck-up on the side of governments, or an unexpected self-custody culture surge, likely so.

Had a quick discussion with Chat GPT in regards to paper Bitcoinization and it practically confirmed what's common sense after I cornered it a couple of times. 1/ 2/ Assume exchanges, treasury companies, ETFs are compromised. Take your coins off exchanges. 3/ Proof of reserves as baseline. Do not invest in ETFs, treasury companies, miners who do not provide proof of reserves and proof of liabilities. 4/ Shame people who invest in paper BTC companies, ETFs (no proof of reserves), etc. Self-custody is best, but if you're going to invest in a BTC treasury company, or an ETF, make sure it provides proof of reserves and liabilities. 5/ Promote circular economy 6/ Bottom line I'll have to write a post on the incentives that make paper Bitcoinization inevitable (in my opinion). This is not a black pill - the more self-custody/proof-of-reserves becomes the norm, the less effective paper Bitcoin games become. This is much easier to achieve with Bitcoin than with gold.

Every Exchange/ETF/Bitcoin treasury company that doesn't provide proof of reserves is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitcoiners have to take their coins off exchanges, and stop investing in ETFs or Bitcoin treasury companies that don't provide proof of reserves (which is the vast majority). Otherwise our fate is the same as the paper gold/silver crowd who have coincidentally been let out of the gulags as more and more countries demand physical deliveries of the metals. I'll be posting more about this as I think people focus on how Bitcoin treasury companies are trying to get you to buy 1 Bitcoin for the price of 2 Bitcoins, whereas the much greater threat is paper Bitcoinization and prolonged price suppression.

If an event is covered by everyone (mainstream media + big social media influencers) at the same time, you can be sure it's a psyop. And of course there are different shades of psyops (e.g. MK Ultra, direct involvement, etc). Mainstream media is NOT as irrelevant as most people think, even though only old people, retarded people or old, retarded people watch it. This is because most successful social media influencers know that w/e mainstream media covers is what gets pushed on social media. CIA -> Mainstream media -> clicks-hungry social media influencers. So practically: 1) Control what people talk about - (by boosting what people should talk about and shadow-banning what people shouldn't talk about). Directly banning people is out of favor as it pushes people to look for alternatives and is too obvious. 2) Boost the official narrative or the limited hangout narrative, but never the truth. The outcome is that people spread establishment propaganda (mostly unknowingly) and never aim at the head of the beast.

The Elites believe that the people vote because they're too mentally weak and it's hard to argue. People want to believe in the existence of a human god who can promise them the world and deliver. This never happens of course, but the people never cease to believe. They just want their safety blanket, even though their subconscious knows that the blanket doesn't exist. The politicians lie to the people, the people lie to themselves, so who is the bigger liar? It all comes down to - fear is the mind killer, and at times when your mind is dead, your body is much easier to kill. Fear is the force which influences us to become closed to Truth, and the force which ultimately shuts down our awareness.

The leaked "Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars" document in which the Elites describe their plan to enslave and kill the plebs is very interesting for psychology enthusiasts. They are very deliberate and calculated in how controlling the prices of commodities and inflation, bad news on TV, and many other variables can be used to collapse the public morale and make the plebs ripe for a take over. This document was found in a copier in 1986 and is much older than that. As expected, diversion is their primary strategy. There is a typo in the first sentence, should be "Experience has proven". The best approach is confuse the plebs by creating problems and then to offer solutions. The Elites need consent from the plebs. If you consent to your own enslavement, or commit suicide by poisoning yourself with vaccines, or bankrupt yourself by paying income taxes even though they are unconstitutional, you aren't worthy to breathe the same air the Elites are breathing - you are a waste of resources. If the number of plebs who pay taxes and have their private property seized without just compensation is high, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. High number of plebs who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government = a population ready for further enslavement. Source:

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars: According to this leaked manual,during the 1950

In 1986 someone bought a surplus copier from Boeing Aircraft and found an old Top Secret document named "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" in which the Elites practically declare war on the plebs. This is the most mind-blowing thing I've ever read because it perfectly shows the contempt and hate the controllers have for us. Here is a short quote on social welfare programs, which of course can be extended to the vast majority of state workers - the are simply hired to be a standing army for the elite. And here is them explaining how wars are used to simply balance the fake budget and the whole point of politicians is to be publicly hired hit men who justify wars to keep the responsibility and blood off the public conscience. There are many more mind-blowing pages in this document: -

There is also a video of a guy who read the document if you prefer audio format, but there are a lot of charts, so you still have to look at the screen from time to time to get the full picture.

How much planning went into the dollar bill 🤔 It must be a coincidence.

How the planned collapse of the Financial System leads to CBDC slavery: 1) An advanced, government-created, closed source AI that is able to automate most jobs is let out of the bag using a private company. A very small group of Elites own the AI and the vast majority of the wealth. 2) This leads to mass layoffs, people cannot pay rent, or buy goods and services and eventually default on loans, credit card debt and mortgages. 3) Banks and lenders face insolvency, companies dependent on human consumption face bankruptcy, consumer-focused industries (retail, travel, real estate) are hit hard, investors panic, sell-offs accelerate, triggering systemic market collapse. 4) Bank deposits, stocks, bonds, securities, retirement accounts, all property that is financed by any debt (mortgaged homes, leveraged farmland, or businesses with loans and intellectual property financed through debt) are seized as collateral for the failing financial system. As shocking as it may sound, you do not own the stocks in your brokerage account directly, instead you have entitlements, and secured creditors have priority over your entitlement, allowing for asset confiscation. What you “own” at your brokerage is legally an IOU — a claim on the intermediary. Coincidentally, this is the law in EVERY country on Earth. Up until the year ~2000, most investors had direct legal ownership of their securities. However, since then, all major markets have been dematerialized with intermediated holding systems - US (DTCC / Cede & Co.), EU (Euroclear, Clearstream), UK (CREST), Japan (JASDEC), Russia (NSD), etc. Such confiscations have already occurred, most recently in 2022, Euroclear and Clearstream froze Russian assets held abroad, so Russian investors lost access to many foreign securities, even though they were the beneficial owners. The investors practically had entitlements, which were blocked once the custodian (Euroclear/Clearstream) cut off access. The official explanation for the legal change in ownership is that the Paperwork Crisis in the 1970s forced countries to move to "Dematerialization" where investors hold only claims (entitlements), not direct property rights, however, this is absurd because "less paperwork" doesn't automatically mean "no direct property rights". They could have digitized the property records without stripping away ownership. 5) Once the plebs get robbed, they will beg Big Daddy Government for help. 6) Governments declare that the cost of supporting a largely unemployed population is too high and that this is only achievable with Universal Basic Income (UBI) on top of CBDCs system. This is because the financial system no longer functions normally - Banks have too many bad loans and Tax revenues have completely collapsed, making state interventions unsustainable. 7) The real economy is destroyed as people no longer earn money to sustain debt, consumption, or assets. The financial system, which depends on human economic activity, has failed as a secondary consequence. 8) Most of the collapsed companies are nationalized, require Digital ID and only accept CBDCs as payment. 9) The prices of scarce assets such as land and gold skyrocket in CBDC terms, so Governments impose very high taxes on these assets to use them as a backing for the new financial system. 10) Bitcoin is effectively made illegal with an Executive Order 6102 style attack and must be exchanged for CBDC tokens. Governments freeze all of the assets of KYC Bitcoin holders who have not converted to CBDC. Spending Bitcoin becomes very risky, similar to how selling hard drugs today is. State sponsored actors bait Bitcoiners into buying goods and services with Sats locally, so that they can arrest them and confiscate their Bitcoin. This temporarily collapses the Bitcoin price in CBDCs. Bitcoiners and other Freedom enthusiasts start small communities outside the cities which are very heavily surveilled and only offer access to fake food, fluoride water, polluted air and very little freedom of movement. Freedom enthusiasts are constantly attacked and forced to battle it out with CBDC slaves. 11) Bitcoin is great and studying the protocol has converted a lot of clueless fiat slaves to freedom enthusiasts, but you can never go wrong with owning some land outright, owning guns, knowing basic First Aid, producing your own food (homesteading, gardening), having the confidence to build/fix stuff with your hands, maybe owning a little physical Gold & Silver, and most importantly making sure to stay fit.

"Sadness is caused by intelligence. The more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn't understand them." - Charles Bukowski If you are so smart, would you try to dumb yourself down to improve your quality of life? Are you really so smart when you haven't figured out arguably the most important thing - how to live a happy life? It seems to me that understanding certain things that other people don't understand or care to understand can make you feel alone. And I don't mean alone as in not having people around you, you can have plenty of people around you and still feel alone. It also doesn't seem like you need to be that intelligent to understand most things in this day and age, you just need to study logical fallacies and be a critical thinker. It's easy to fall into the trap of "Oh, I'm so smart and that's why I'm depressed, the problem is with everyone else. I guess I'll just have to wait for everyone else to improve to be happy." But are you though? Or are you just too comfortable being sad and lazy 🤔

Most scientists hate this graphic because it reminds them that they've spent their entire careers lying to their people for fake money on behalf of governments. That's why you have to "trust the science" or to be more precise "trust the scientism priests" because if you try to verify their claims, you might have to unlearn almost everything you've ever learned.

It's interesting that the American people are slowly getting ready to fall for it again with Thomas Massie in the same way they fell for Donald Trump, but this time Trump is the bad guy. Elon Musk is also being prepped as an alternative as Trump was already elected 2 times, so you have to think long term. "Whenever the people need a hero we shall supply him." - Albert Pike However, notice that all of these 'heroes' only address the symptoms and not the disease. All of these propped up alternatives only offer a limited hangout and don't threaten the system. You would never hear any of them speak about how: - there's no evidence that viruses exist and vaccines are used to depopulate. - there's no evidence that nuclear weapons exist. - the official narrative for the Antarctic treaty is a total lie and the Controllers are likely hiding more land. - you can't vote yourself out of slavery. - the system is only afraid of a tax revolt and total rejection of fiat slavery (in favor of Bitcoin), it doesn't care about you breaking windows and protesting on the streets. - a spinning ball Earth of the alleged size has been falsified, so you don't even know where you live. As a politician, you can't fix the system from within the system, so the only meaningful thing you can do is expose the system and unplug as many people as you can from the Matrix and obviously none of the politicians have attempted to do so.

Today's science: 1. You have numbers a, b and c that you have no way of verifying. 2. You do some perfectly valid math with your magic numbers. 3. You make conclusions that take for granted that a, b and c are what is assumed. This of course is perfectly fine if you make it clear that your conclusion is only valid IF a, b and c match your assumptions, however, today's scientists aren't allowed to question the official narrative, so they present their houses of cards as facts. If you question them, they tell you: "But the math matches". In other words, 1 Unicorn + 1 Unicorn = 2 Unicorns, math checks out, therefore Unicorns exist. Then other "scientists" use your house of cards conclusions and built on that. Most people want answers, they don't want a nuanced, objective discussion and the "scientists" are funded very well to give the people the answers that best serve the establishment.
