Bodog is Calvin Ayre aka: BSV Craig "not Satoshi" Wright's papi. An which of them operate onions, not that it matters. That's an old news. Now for the real gambling... Where are all the cryptocurrency exchanges operating "offshore" on the Secret Islands of anonymous encrypted distributed uncensorable overlay networks represented in legacy first gen implementation form by .onion, or even the less used .i2p? Onionland... Many tens of drug, physible, and digible marts, all manner of crypto nodes, and censored talk, but hardly ever a real matching engine crypto exchange. Nor any competitors to, or users on, distributed cross-coin DEX such as BlockDX and the like (just a bunch of clearnet centralized ERC-20 only fake DEX sucking up all the air in the fake coin news). Just like the lack of needed privacy and chainless coins, this imbalance of available exchange and DEX services in the universe needs rectified ASAP.

ericgeller - 5h Biden is answering press questions now and just talked SolarWinds. "The Defense Department won't even brief us on many things. ... I know of nothing that suggests it's under control." "We need international rules of the road on cybersecurity." " National borders are not even road humps on the information superhighway " Old cryptoanarchist proverb

Gramps globalist govt vs reality
by professor rat 22 Dec '20

22 Dec '20

Govts plural meet globalist " GovCorp " in the fevered brain of old yeller. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Trumpofash Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself - that was the ultimate batshittery.

Fight Back: Small Business Revolting Against the State re Corona Lockdowns

Coalitions of mass revolt against Govts re Corona Lockdowns are slowly ramping up worldwide, court cases being won, etc... https://twitter.com/VenturaReport/status/1338699357202214913 "Are you going to pay my rent? says owner Anton Van Happen of 'Nick The Greek' to public health inspectors issuing him a citation for staying open after being issued a closure order. Things got tense https://pic.twitter.com/9eKCiAjDaw -- Jorge Ventura Media (@VenturaReport) December 15, 2020 " Late is better than never... however these revolutions should have started the day Governments first tried to brainwash you into further submission and subservience with lockdowns in January 2020. You don't need Government. Free yourselves. http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2020/december/21… nesses/ https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/mrz121720-color-1mb_orig.j… " The health officials were ordering Mr. Van Happen to close his business because he allegedly violated California's ban on outdoor dining. Mr. Van Happen asked the health officials if the government will pay his employees and his rent while his business is indefinitely closed. Mr. Van Happen is hardly the only small business owner worried about how to pay bills during the lockdowns. Many small businesses operate on a narrow profit margin, so being forced to "temporarily" shut down or limit the number of customers they can serve is a virtual death sentence. The lockdowns have already caused as many as 200,000 small businesses to permanently close. Lockdowns, by shrinking the number of employers, lead to long-term unemployment or lower wages for many workers. While governments have terrorized small businesses, they have typically deemed the big chain stores "essential businesses" so they can remain open. The lockdowns are thus another government policy that gives big businesses a competitive advantage over their smaller competitors. ... "
