βIn 1970 Richard Nixon deputized the financial services field to turn them into a branch of law enforcement. Law enforcement beyond borders. Law enforcement beyond jurisdictions. And most importantly law enforcement beyond due process. Beyond political and democratic control, beyond recourse. A cop can confiscate your money. A judge can sign a warrant to freeze your accounts. And a bank can do both of those things without any authorization from anyone and there's nothing you can do about it. And this applies worldwide. Money as a system of control supersedes all other functions of money. When money is turned into an enforcement tool the other functions start getting eroded. It is no longer the best medium of exchange because its function as a medium of exchange is subordinate to it's function as a system of law enforcement, a system of control. And at that point the system of control aspect starts corrupting everything.β - Andreas Antonopoulos (2017)

I'm flabbergasted by what I have read in the NY Post about the Nord Stream Pipeline. What has this world come too and what games are these government officials playing? #politics #governments #narrative [Pulitzer winner Seymour Hersh claims US Navy behind Nord Stream 2 pipeline explosion](https://nypost.com/2023/02/08/seymour-hersh-claims-us-navy-behind-nord-stream-2-pipeline-explosion/) Pentagon spokesman Marine Corps Lt. Col. Garron J. Garn told The Post βthe United States was not involved in the Nord Stream explosion.β
The SECβs accredited investor rules are wild. They say Iβm too poor and therefore too dumb to invest in openAI, but they have no problem with me buying lottery tickets.
ICYMI: SVB didnβt crash because crypto prices went down (which they didnβt, theyβve gone up more than any other asset this year), they crashed because US TREASURIES lost value and they had a bunch of those on their balance sheet they were forced to sell at a loss https://www.npr.org/2023/03/19/1164531413/bank-fail-how-government-bonds-turned-toxic-for-silicon-valley-bank
