Re: US Dollar collapse strategy - MUST be in place
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

The Donald Trump administration needs to have a strategy in place to handle what is coming with respect to the collapse of the USD house of cards and the private Federal Reserve. Without a plan, the terms of any new system will be set by the powers that be, namely the private Federal Reserve. In the American "democratic" system, the question arises is it possible for an administration to bring in a national currency which is controlled by the government, and is not controlled by private bankers. We know JFK failed to achieve this. Perhaps JFK's problem was that he tried to do this unilaterally, from a government administration point of view, rather than with the power of the people - that is, by referendum, and therefore with the mandate of the people to bind him. Ego and pride comes before the fall, and it seems most leaders seek to be the great hero, the Ulysses who plants the flag of freedom on the hill, only to get shot just before raising that flag, as in JFK. The time for the individual hero has gone. It is time for collective empowerment on some level at the least by referendum.

Good luck. Regards, Zenaan from Australia http://www.jsmineset.com/2016/11/30/fake-news-list-death-knell-for-msm-paul… Posted November 30th, 2016 at 12:18 PM (CST) by goyama & filed under USAWatchdog.com. Fake News List Death Knell for MSM-Paul Craig Roberts November 30, 2016 The latest is called “Fake News List Death Knell for MSM-Paul Craig Roberts.” Economic expert and journalist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts thinks the recent publication of the so-called ‘fake news” list recently published by the Washington Post signals a major turning point for all of the mainstream media (MSM). Dr. Roberts explains, “I think this is the death knell for the mainstream media. I think this list essentially kills the credibility of the mainstream media and certainly the Washington Post. It has demonstrated it is completely devoid of any integrity. I am a former Wall Street Journal editor, and if we had done something like that, Warren Phillips would have fired every one of us. We would have been told to get out. You can’t carry on this kind of assault on people. I think this is a sign of desperation.” On why the markets haven’t crashed, Dr. Roberts, who was an Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Reagan Administration, says, “The markets are all rigged. So, when you try to look at the markets in traditional ways such as price/earnings ratios, earnings growth, or sales growth or any kinds of things like this, they don’t know anything because the Federal Reserve has probably the largest trading desk in the world. They can trade anything, in fact, everything, and they have no limits on their pocketbook…In order for the Fed to protect the dollar, the dollar’s exchange value from the massive outpouring of dollars that the Fed created to buy all the bonds, they had to stop the dollar from falling in relation to gold. So, they have to go in and sell massive amounts of gold shorts in the futures markets. This is how they knock the gold price down…Unless the world runs on the dollar or unless the rest of the world abandons the dollar, I can’t see anything that would bring down this house of cards. They can continue this because the Fed can create all the money it wants. There is no limit.” On the oligarchs trying to control Donald Trump with the threat of crashing the economy, Dr. Roberts contends, “The easiest thing for the oligarchs to do would be to orchestrate an economic crash, and they can do this easily because it’s a house of cards held up by the Fed. If they come to the conclusion that they can’t control him and he is actually a threat to them, they’ll just crash the economy, and then they’ll go to Trump and say hey look, you are blamed for this and on the defensive. If you want to get out of this, you have to appoint us, and we’ll get you out of this. That’s the sort of power that the oligarchs have over Trump. I have said from the beginning that Trump has the sort of strong will you have to have to bring change from the top down.” On holding physical gold and silver, Dr. Roberts, who holds a PhD in economics, says, “Anyone who has surplus funds should be holding gold and silver because the dollar should be reduced already to the level of toilet paper. The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet has exploded. It’s grown so much. So, you have this massive increase in supply of money, but not in goods and services. The reason we are not experiencing hyperinflation is not much of that money got into the economy. It went into financial assets and bid up stock prices, bond prices and real estate prices…If the world turns on the dollar, the Fed is not going to be able to sustain it. Gold and silver have always been money… If people don’t want the currency because it’s worthless, it’s nice to have something to engage in trade with until some new monetary system can be formed. I think it is very reckless to abuse the dollar the way it has been abused.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with former Assistant Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, founder of PaulCraigRoberts.org.

reason vs. rationalization

Website Raising Money To Fund Assassinations Of Trump, Pence Uncovered On "Dark Web" http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-05/website-raising-money-fund-assassi… A website hosted on the Dark Web claims to be asking for Bitcoin donations and "expert advice" to help fund the assassinations of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence. According to CSO, which first uncovered the "murder-for-hire" site, the darknet portal went live last week and calls for assistance to fund an assassination attempt against Trump, and features an image of the president-elect in crosshairs. The website is located on the Dark Web, and can be accessed only using the Tor browser, which masks IP addresses. "As you are all well aware, the consequences of having Donald Trump and Mike Pence as the leaders of the free world is extremely dangerous," reads a statement on the "murder-for-hire" website.

BBC to Air ‘Muslim Big Brother’ Show Featuring Islamic State Defender: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/12/04/bbc-air-muslim-big-brother-show-… Should go off with a bang, as they say. Break a leg guys, we're sure you'll get a head with this one. NYT: Explosive opposition to the show. "Bedroom scenes too racy with 6 year old on BBC set," says Guardian... ... cast confused: "Why ain't the show called 'Little Brother' - he's only 6 years old?" Director heard mutterin "Well stone the women, never thought I'd see the day!" Saudi Arabia objects - women on the show to be replaced. Charlie Hebdo magazines from previous show hastily removed from set's coffee table and lavatory. Actors objecting to "goats of color" - "this politically correct inclusiveness is ridiculous; now I understand the British public want more vibrancy in their lives, but this is simply ridiculous - I TOLD them at the casting couch, White goats only!" BBC's in house psychologist overheard mumbling "... contract was therapy PUPPY, not <unintelligible> baby!" If you think that's sad, try this bit of reality in the face of that anonymous joke the other day about trolling Safe Spaces: Students Cry Their 'SAFE SPACE' Was Violated By Trump Slogan http://clashdaily.com/2016/03/whiners-students-cry-their-safe-space-was-vio… This is just terrible, I don't know what's become of humans - such insensitivity must be vehemently opposed, so let's all sing Kumbaya as we hold hands now in our official cypherpunks safe space over at Juan's and healing with our collective cry-in while each holding a therapy ... puppy. "We'll show THEM!" said Juan in his high pitched airy and effeminate voice when he suggested the idea.

FBI to gain expanded hacking powers as Senate effort to block fails http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-congress-idUSKBN13P2ER "[...] allow U.S. judges will be able to issue search warrants that give the FBI the authority to remotely access computers in any jurisdiction, potentially even overseas." "[...] in the hands of an administration of President-elect Trump, a Republican who has "openly said he wants the power to hack his political opponents the same way Russia does." We are discussing the bad possibilities in some legal and technical studies groups in my country. Our laws don't permiss this kind of violation. Fu¢k FBI.

These are private messages for Juan. Just my messages, not his answers. I was re-reading dozens of messages and 90% of my manifestations about moderation x censorship to him were private, so I won't send them to the list, sorry. Juan provoked me asking about how much I know about his free time and the answer is almost everything, but I never will tell anything to anyone, because it would be disgusting, a horrible lack of ethics, pretty wrong. I still like him a lot, but I can _not_ trust him anymore. -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cecilia Tanaka <cecilia.tanaka(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 9:42 PM Subject: Re: [Private] Juan...

Touching. No, they were not my audience at all. My ego never was not so pretentious. They were people trying to learn more about programming, electronics, security, better ways of buying components, even living in a corrupt country, full of injust imposts and taxes... A little about everything, Juan. Some of us talked about phylosophy, History, poetry... And all of the group asked to moderate that guy. It was not my decision. Democracy, my dear. I was just one of the moderation team, the only woman, and my work was avoing spammers and disasters. The difference was that I was knowed as moderator in public for being easily contacted for all the members of the list. The rest of the moderator team wanted to avoid problems in their inboxes. They were wiser than me and really coward in one person' specific case. Sorry, Juan, I really don't care if you likes me or not. It won't change my life or my personal convictions. Cecilia
