awsome stuff..never new about this and gonna look into it.

. . . more Mel Mattison. This time he guests with Freeman.

His perspective is as brutal as it is insightful. Near the end of the chat he zeros in on what he sees as the crux of the crisis issue in America ( and probably the whole 'west'). It would explain why the DOD and Trump are as in on the covid cull as anyone else.

I have a question though. The experts say that all the retuning dollars from around the world will slush around the internal economy causing hyper inflation. Why can't they lock up those dollars in the social security Trust fund to keep it from going bankrupt in the late 20s ?

Jimmy Dore sums up the global situation very well on Stephen Gardner's show
May 17, 2024

(The title of the video is NOT what the discussion is actually about)

"Stephen Gardner and Jimmy Dore discuss government corruption. Check it out: https://jimmydore.com/

Welcome to today’s video summary where we dive into an explosive interview with comedian and host of the Jimmy Dore Show, Jimmy Dore. We covered a range of hot topics, from corruption in Ukraine to U.S. monetary policy and recent political controversies. Here are the key highlights.

*Corruption in Ukraine:*
We kicked off the discussion with the shocking revelation that Russia managed to enter Kharkiva, Ukraine, without resistance due to corruption. Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, meant for defense, ended up funding fake contractor jobs. Jimmy pointed out that while this level of fraud is staggering, it’s not surprising given Ukraine’s reputation as Europe’s most corrupt country. He expressed frustration over taxpayer money being misused in such a blatant manner.

*Mitt Romney’s Comments:*
Next, we touched on Mitt Romney’s recent statements. Romney criticized Republican leaders for supporting Trump amidst his scandal with a porn star and suggested that Biden should pardon Trump to help the country heal. Jimmy found Romney’s comments intriguing, noting the irony and political strategy behind them. He questioned whether a pardon would indeed help the nation move forward or if it would simply be seen as a political maneuver.

*Republicans Subpoena Biden’s Tapes:*
We then delved into the Republican push to obtain tapes from Biden’s case involving secret documents. With AG Merrick Garland refusing to hand over the tapes and the White House invoking executive privilege, Jimmy criticized the apparent double standard. He highlighted how former Trump officials faced jail time while Biden seems shielded by executive privilege. This raised questions about the integrity and consistency of the justice system.

*President Bukele on U.S. Monetary Policy:*
Jimmy shared his thoughts on a recent CPAC speech by President Bukele of El Salvador, who criticized U.S. monetary policy, calling the dollar and taxes a scam. Bukele’s insights contrasted sharply with Biden’s economic advisor’s views, who claimed the U.S. could print unlimited money without risk. Jimmy emphasized the absurdity of such claims and praised Bukele for his understanding of economic principles over Biden’s advisor’s naïveté.

*Biden’s Tax Double Speak:*
We explored Biden’s contradictory statements on taxes. While Biden claims not to raise taxes on those earning under $400,000, he plans to let Trump’s tax cuts expire, effectively increasing taxes for many Americans. Jimmy discussed why Democrats might buy into this narrative and questioned the rationale behind the ongoing tax policies, especially given the government’s propensity to print more money.

*Trump’s Fair Trial Concerns:*
Lastly, we examined Rep. Dan Goldman’s admission of working with Michael Cohen against Trump and his financial ties to Judge Merchan’s daughter. Jimmy expressed skepticism about Trump’s ability to receive a fair trial given these connections, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and the broader implications for justice.

The Chain of Custody: The “Mafia” Holding The Elite’s Bitcoin

The Chain of Custody: The “Mafia” Holding The Elite’s Bitcoin
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS
BY MARK GOODWIN & WHITNEY WEBB
JULY 8, 2024
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/07...lites-bitcoin/



(This article is very long, very detailed and very astute, as most of what comes from Whitney Webb. Too long to post here, but here are the key takeaways):

"Intelligence-affiliated venture capital firms dominate the financial technology industry
Entrepreneurial social groups such as Endeavor, functionally similar to programs like the WEF’s Young Global Leaders (YGL) and the Henry Crown Fellowship, capture innovators at their startups’ incubation
Endeavor functions like the WEF-YGL program functions for public sector capture, but targets the private sector in emerging markets specifically, while masking their common ties to the likes of Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Pierre Omidyar via its “multiplier effect”, making many emerging market startups appear decentralized when they are in fact funded by the same interests
These network “mafias” have numerous connections to notorious sex blackmail rings such as those led by Jeffrey Epstein and NXIVM
Information banking, led by Citi, Visa and PayPal, has led to the creation of information as money – bitcoin and tokenized dollar instruments. PayPal is closely tied to Endeavor
Many of the early funders of Microsoft, eBay, PayPal and Facebook are also affiliated with bitcoin-bank Xapo. Xapo’s founder and chairman, Wences Casares, owes his commercial success to Endeavor and has maintained close links to the organization
The bitcoin-dollar system, akin to the petro-dollar system, is explicitly being built by Xapo in terms of custodial solutions, dollar-denominated on/off ramps perpetuating the US Treasury market, and the on-shoring of bitcoin within the US regulatory system
The proto-bitcoin-dollar architects were all on Xapo’s initial advisory board
The same players behind the deregulation of the banking sector in the late 1990s, which led to the 2008 crisis and bailouts as well as the restructuring of the Latin American debt from public to private sector banks, are promoting the use of stablecoins to push dollarization on the Global South, specifically Latin America "

"Europe faces a financial meltdown as China retaliates against EU tariffs. France and Italy, already burdened with massive debt, now see their luxury sectors under siege. With China imposing heavy duties on French cognac and Italian fashion, major brands like LVMH are at risk. The EU’s decision to tax Chinese EVs has escalated tensions, and the survival of these economies hangs in the balance. Can France and Italy withstand China’s trade war, or is financial disaster unavoidable?"

Chain Of Command: How Facebook’s Libra, Bank Regulators, and PayPal Built A New World Currency
by Mark Goodwin and Whitney Webb
October 31, 2024
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/10...orld-currency/

(Very long article, but lots of info uncovered about where currency might be headed.)

"Two companies closely tied to Peter Thiel – PayPal and Facebook – have embarked on apparently unsuccessful efforts to create a “new world currency.” Yet, upon further examination, those efforts have actually been wildly successful and many recent events of significant in finance – including but not limited to the 2023 banking crisis – have arguably been orchestrated to facilitate the vision of Thiel and his early allies and the creation of a new paradigm for currency, one where privately issued money meets surveillance.

Key Takeaways
The initial trio of pieces in The Chain series have focused on the three essential pillars for creating a new digital monetary system. The first, The Chain of Custody, examined the construction of novel custodial infrastructure to enable the secure holding of billions of dollars worth of digital assets after the proliferation of Bitcoin as a new financial class. The second, The Chain of Issuance, investigated the primordial roots of digital payments fortifying data brokers and information bankers within the global surveillance network. It also noted how stablecoin issuers are the modern day analogue to the influence that the major infrastructural titans of the Industrial Age had on the formation of The Federal Reserve in the first half of the 20th century. The third, The Chain of Consensus, focused on the currency speculators and intelligence-connected developers behind the monetary policy and consensus infrastructure of privately-issued money and the blockchain revolution during the infancy of the Deflationary Age brought about by Bitcoin and the subsequent, dollarized iterations of its underlying database technology.

In summary, a new financial system cannot be built without the ability to custody assets, issue new assets, and uphold the settlement and monetary policy of said assets via a governing consensus. Yet, even with the successful formation of this necessary trifecta, the construction of a monetary network is simply fruitless without the acquisition of the last remaining pillar: a network of active users. This concept is well understood by both the private sector companies that have been mentioned throughout this series, in addition to the public sector that currently acts as the enabling environment for the rules and regulations of nation-state monetary systems upheld by central banks across the world. None of these public issuers of money, however, have the global impact of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury system, which provides immense privileges that come downstream from their issuance of the notes and reserves backing the world reserve currency, the U.S. dollar. With 66 countries worldwide listing the dollar as an official currency, the vast number of users utilizing these instruments makes the dollar system the largest financial network in the world.

Even within this monopoly, there is a fractured set of settlement networks, such as PayPal, and private banks, such as J.P. Morgan, issuing said dollars in users’ checking accounts. This balkanization presents a unique opportunity for further consolidation and, with that consolidation, the ability to acquire even more users. For example, PayPal acquired millions of global users via their purchases of Venmo and Xoom, while J.P. Morgan assumed the deposits of the failed First Republic Bank after the onset of the regional banking crisis in 2023.

Money itself is but a technology that enables agreeable and predictable outcomes between two bartering parties. This axiom requires money that simultaneously acts as a unit of account, a store of value, and a medium of exchange. While all of these properties can be met by a multitude of currently circulating currencies – and even commodities – their usefulness for settlement across both time and space is determined nearly entirely by the number of users within their respective networks. The dollar system is the most liquid monetary network in the world, and has held this position for nearly a century. Historically, the world’s reserve currency has held its dominant status for roughly this same duration of time. With U.S. debt levels now growing at uncontrollable and exponential rates, the formation of proposed alternatives to the dollar’s monopoly are popping up across the globe. The world economy is a finite pie consisting of finite users, and with the dollar network appearing truly weak for the first time in decades, competitors are posturing for a piece. However, with the global broadband internet dissolving some of the control that nation states have over their own citizens’ monetary choices, the world is actually dollarizing faster than ever.

As the internet age enters its third decade, the stakes for creating the internet of money have never been higher. For now, the proliferation of dollarized blockchains seemingly aims to fortify the dollar’s hold over global finance, not dissolve it. Regardless of the dollar’s domination of denomination, the upstart issuers of these tokenized assets have hemorrhaged away enough users that it now threatens many of the privileges the legacy system once enjoyed, mainly the available profits found by selling their data and leveraging their deposits.

The understanding that social networks are communication platforms, and that money itself is just a ledger upholding the communicative expression between users, led the social media giant Facebook to experiment with adding financial instruments to their vastly popular Messenger app. While Bitcoin and alternatives had been around for nearly a decade before Facebook’s Libra was proposed, this was “the shot heard ’round the world” for central bankers and regulators to sit up straight and take a novel payments system proposed by the world’s largest social network seriously.

Yet, as Facebook soon found out, if you come at the king, you best not miss. Or at least this was the story that was told to the world: The U.S. regulatory system said “No” and that was that. However, this concluding piece to The Chain series, The Chain of Command, postulates that Libra was never intended to actually go to market as designed, but rather was meant to set the stage for clear regulation via legislation that would become the enabling environment for a decades-long attempt at creating a new world currency by the very same parties covered thus far in this series."

"After the at home Genetic Testing market exploded in the early 2000's, one of its largest players has now imploded with spectacular fanfare.

23andMe, once a darling child of Silicon Valley, is now bottoming out in a variety of ways, from its board of directors leaving en masse, to data breaches and widespread layoffs.

After associating itself with the high and mighty Hollywood elites, and industry leaders around the globe, it is now a cautionary tale about what happens when a woman with too much power, cements herself too much as the figurehead of a troubled company. At home genetic testing might be popular, but its far from a sure thing when you run the company into the ground."

Alex Krainer has an interesting idea about what might be brewing with the Dollar. He thinks that Trump is going to copy the Chinese way of splitting the currency between external and internal.

He points out that China hasn't had a currency crisis internally in 40 years because it's internal currency is insulated from whatever goes on internationally with it's external currency.

It's a broader discussion than just that, They lay out a plain and simple to read map of the whole relationship between America and the European Oligarchical way of doing things. It's over, and they are really really upset.
