Government agents who engage in COINTELPRO
by professor rat 02 May '22

02 May '22

In a weird throwback to the sixties we recently had an example of pure COINTELPRO here when Batshit Crazy ( now Nazi Punk ) made serial accusations of agency against list members. And when challenged to back-up his bullshit he declined. Lack of evidence presumably. Suspicion must surely be raised over him since his failed ' Govt Agent Truther " campaign. And also his allegiance to the KGB Russian dictatorship given his ' one-man-Troll-Farm ' antisemitic spam here. For a fascist nutcase who claims to hate the internet he also seems to spend most of his day on it. What a sorry loser. Nazi Punk FUCK OFF.

A Far Right condominium over Europe appears to present the “best antiwar” prospect for “world peace”, the stated goal of our opponents in the Left. That would be a peace of the grave https://groups.io/g/marxmail/topic/us_on_brink_of_recklessness/90818170?p=,… Reposts not endorsements

Cryptocurrency: Goldman Sachs Affirms Fiat Inferior by Offering Crypto Backed Loans

Goldman Sachs Offers Its First Bitcoin-Backed Loan https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/goldman-sachs-offers-its-first-bitcoin… Goldman has reportedly offered its first ever lending facility backed by BTC as the Wall Street giant deepens its Bitcoin offerings. Goldman Sachs has offered its first bitcoin-backed loan. The arrangement, made popular over the past few years in the Bitcoin industry by newer companies, enables a bitcoin holder to obtain fiat money like U.S. dollars by putting up their BTC as collateral to the bank. If the price of bitcoin drops, the user may be required to increase their collateral, risking getting liquidated in case they fail to do so. The Wall Street giant lent cash collateralized by bitcoin owned by the borrower for the first time, a spokeswoman for the bank told Bloomberg. The deal was interesting to Goldman because of its structure and 24-hour risk management, she told the publication in an email. Bitcoin investors have commonly leveraged the setup to increase their holdings when the price of the digital currency dips. Based on the assumption that Bitcoin’s decade-long history of price appreciation will continue in the future, the user chooses to acquire more bitcoin with credit, without having to pay with their own cash. The loan type is also popular in another use case: making purchases. With a bitcoin-backed loan, a bitcoin holder can pay for goods or services with cash – for example, to buy a house or pay medical bills – without needing to sell their bitcoin. Not only does the user keep their bitcoin stash (provided they pay out the loan when it matures) but they also don’t have to worry about tax implications from a BTC sale. Bitcoin-backed loans have also become popular among bitcoin mining companies, which earn revenue in BTC but need to pay for their operating costs in U.S. dollars or other currencies. Historically, miners would sell part of their produced bitcoin to cover expenses, but over the past couple of years big players in the industry have grown fond of taking out cash loans with their bitcoin holdings. Goldman’s entrance into the bitcoin-backed loan business represents a watershed moment for the industry in terms of liquidity, legitimacy and optionality available for consumers. Bloomberg did not report the details of the loan.

Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin
by professor rat 02 May '22

02 May '22

Rosa Luxemburg was a Marxist. In the same text that the authors of “No War but the Class War” quote, she proclaims blithely that “Imperialist world domination is an historical necessity” and therefore that “imperialism ultimately works for us” [i.e., the proletariat]. https://anarchistnews.org/content/spirit-sholem-schwarzbard-addressing-conf… " . . . if you ask anarchists from Donbas and Crimea, they will tell you very clearly why so many people in Ukraine are risking their lives to fight the Russian army. We might as well have urged the residents of Kobanî to reject militarism back in 2014 when the Islamic State was besieging their city. Sometimes you do not have the choice to opt out of war.

anti russia == NSA nazi
by punk 01 May '22

in case it's not painfully obvious that 'cypherpunk' turds like jim bell, grancrap and other assholes spamming US war propaganda are NSA agents, here's is more detail https://greenwald.substack.com/p/former-intelligence-officials-citing "legislative attempts to restrict or break up the power of Big Tech monopolies — Facebook, Google, and Amazon — would jeopardize national security because, they argue, their centralized censorship power is crucial to advancing U.S. foreign policy. " that cuts both ways of course. US jewnazis of joogle kind are anti russia, and anti russia assholes like bell, grancrap et al, are jewnazis of the joogle kind. in the case of jim bell, the motherfucking turd blatantly advocated joogle surveillance "to fight the covaids plandemic". So yeah, bell believes in 'covaids', is a vaccine nazi, an NSA surveillance criminal, and anti russia asshole. Shocking.

Cryptocurrency: Trust, Foundation of Money, Calamity... Fiat Loses, Gold and Crypto Win

Doomsayers, Conspiracy Theorists, and Shillers of Sound Money... all enjoying truth from the chaos lately... "The US Destroyed Trust" Jim Rickards Says "The World Is Turning To Gold" https://archive.org/details/TheCreatureFromJekyllIslandByG.EdwardGriffin https://usawatchdog.com/ https://paradigm.press/publications/awn/ Five-time, best-selling financial author James G. Rickards says, “We could be in a recession right now,” but the title of his most recent book “The New Great Depression” says where we are definitely going soon. Rickards says, “The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in U.S. history..." "Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos.” Rickards says there are many negatives to the current economy, Covid, inflation, war, sanctions, supply destruction, and on top of all that, Rickards says the Fed will ultimately kill the economy with a policy mistake. Rickards explains, “Probably in May they are going to have quantitative tightening, which means you actually reduce the money supply. So, this is triple tightening: Three interest rate hikes, no more taper . . . and doing quantitative tightening at a very rapid rate. What just happened? We had a down quarter. The economy was at recession levels in the first quarter, and the stock market is on the way down. So, here we go again. The Fed is tightening into weakness. It’s tightening into certainly a stock market bubble, and they are probably going to destroy the markets again.” Inflation, according to Rickards, is very serious, and he explains, “It is the worst inflation in 40 years. You can’t argue about it, it’s there..." "The inflation we are seeing now does not come from the demand side... It’s from the supply side. It’s because of the war in Ukraine. That’s a supply side disruption. It’s also from the ‘Zero Covid’ policy in China. They locked down two of the biggest cities in the world. . . . There are multiple reasons for supply chain disruptions... By the time you pay for gas and groceries, if you can, there is not much left over... That’s going to kill discretionary spending.” Rickards says the signs that gold is going way up are global. Rickards contends, “The world could not destroy the dollar, but we could..." "If you are putting sanctions on dollars and kicking people out of dollar accounts . . . why would I want dollars? The U.S. destroyed trust. . . . If you want to get away from the dollar, there is not a currency or bond market you can go to, but there is gold... Gold is money good, and it’s the only form of money the whole world can agree on.” Rickards says the minimum gold price is $15,000 per ounce in the not-so-distant future. Rickards says depending on the backing and math, it could go up in value much higher. Rickards likes silver, too, and food for the common guy. Food prices are going to go much higher according to Rickards, and in some places in the world, he expects out right starvation. There is much more in the 55-minute interview.

"We've reached our breaking point" dozens of Baltimore businesses threaten to not pay taxes... 'We're Taking Back Our Street" - Sacramento Man Barricades Street To Stop Out-Of-Control Crime https://fox40.com/news/local-news/man-barricades-sacramento-street-to-stop-… People are fed up with the urban utopian socialist experiment in California. One business owner barricaded a public street in Sacramento to prevent a further spillover in crime from other areas. "The game is over. We're taking back our streets," business owner Rich Eaton told FOX40. He barricaded part of Railroad Drive to prevent the commercial area from additional car burglaries, rampant building theft, prostitution, and homeless encampments. "The city's dereliction of duty has just come to a boiling point and I'm really just begging for help," Eaton said, adding he has complained about the out-of-control crime to the mayor. So far, he's received no response. "I paid some homeless people some money so they would leave. I fed them; I took care of them and helped them and when Railroad Drive was cleared. I put up barriers," Eaton said. A person who didn't want to be identified and works for a company on the street told the local news: "It was like walking through a working meth lab to get to work." "There's days when they'll be parked three-wide on the street and we can barely get by. They've had our gates completely blocked. I've pulled up and had employees waiting to get in because they were afraid to get out of their gate and punch in the code. "Literally a week ago from this spot to there, all the way down and around the corner there were 57 motor homes and trailers parked," the employee said. Eaton said someone scaled his building last week and stole his surveillance cameras from the roof. "The prostitution, the stolen cars, people meeting on the street at 3 a.m.," Eaton said, it's just chaos he added. Sacramento responded to Eaton's barricade with an order to stop blocking the street. Business owners taking action as city governments seem unresponsive is a new emerging trend. Last year, dozens of Baltimore City businesses banded together. They collectively threatened the mayor with no tax payment because they were fed up and frustrated "with the outburst of violence."
