His films have won three Golden Globes and the Image Award. His latest film is a documentary entitled, "America: Freedom To Fascism." The film begins with a critical review of two monumental events that happened in 1913: the adoption of the 16th Amendment, which has been interpreted to authorize the forced taxation of individual income and the creation of the Federal Reserve, which turned the governance of America's financial system over to a centralized private banking interest. The film intelligently and convincingly makes a strong case for the opinion that both the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve System are flatly unconstitutional and may not even have been legally adopted.

Murder Video shows AU SAS Killing Unarmed Afghani

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-16/video-shows-afghan-man-shot-at-close… https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/news/video/202003/field_incident.mp4 Four Corners has obtained video which shows a Special Air Service (SAS) operator shooting an unarmed Afghan man three times in the head and chest while he cowers on the ground. A former member of the same SAS squadron, who was on the 2012 deployment to Afghanistan and has been shown the video, described the killing to Four Corners as a "straight-up execution". The ADF investigators concluded that the Afghan was lawfully killed because he posed a direct threat to the Australians. Anyone thinking that video... of various Government forces doing obvious murder, torture, rape... doesn't exist, hasn't been on the fileshares, forums, and darknets the last 15+ years.

Electric + Internet = Crypto keeps on going. Down 25-50++%, relative shifts, normal. Crypto not yet a top shelf adoption usage, thus can get sold before other assets, for need, or bets in other markets. Halvenings offering attractive inflation rates. Required Privacy and DEX starting to be taken seriously. No currently leading coins expected to handle credit card tx rates, too busy bloating selves by needing chain history and layering on stupid apps, tokens, features, weight, centralized, politics, compute, and metoos... instead of being simple lean high tx distributed cash. Need new coin for that. Central of ASIC manufacture and mining a bit iffy model over more distributed CPU. Regulation and centralized fiat shitcoins are still biggest risks, that's pointless old world, stop supporting either of them if expect to have anything new and free. Mining cycles being temporarily diverted to coronavirus crunching. Crypto coronavirus charity efforts, etc. Crypto hist: ... ~= $1275/$200 2013-2015 ~= ... ~= $20k/$4k 2017-2020 ~= ... ~= ??? Early days, have fun.

Cryptocurrency exchange rate at times of recession? Dow Jones dropped and according to some we are at or near recession/financial crisis. How are cryptocurrencies going at times of recession/crisis? Browsed some rate charts on xe.com and bitcoin appears to have dropped in the beginning of March.

The Whole of the Moon
by Peter Fairbrother 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Last one, for now. Please redistribute freely. Peter Fairbrother 4- The Whole of the Moon 17 March 2020 The good news: the worst-hit (or first hit) countries are now stopping their coronavirus epidemics. China has done pretty much stopped their epidemic spreading [1], in South Korea it is dying out [2], in Iran [3] and perhaps Italy [4] it is getting less of a hold, though it is a bit early to say in Italy's case. How can we be sure of that? Simple. The daily numbers of new cases are falling in all those countries, reaching very low levels in China and South Korea. They have all implemented strong isolation, and it is working for them. In none of them have even one thousandth of the population become, or are likely to become, infected (though Italy may come close). There is no known case where strong isolation is failing to stop the infection. China and South Korea are considering restrictions on people entering their countries in order to prevent infected people bringing the disease in, as that is now their major source of new infections. The bad news: the UK's present policy is still to delay the epidemic rather than try to stop it, allowing over 60% of the population to catch the disease at a projected cost of 400,000 UK deaths (UK Government figures). - So why does the UK government still insist strong isolation will not work for us? It doesn't have to be very onerous. Something like this: schools close, as do universities, pubs, public gatgerings. Most people stay at home for perhaps 4 weeks. During that four weeks we make a lot of masks, respirators and other protective gear. We prepare a very large number of tests. We prepare ventilators and people to operate them, and hospital and hospital beds in case the confinement does not work, though it should. We plan. We research the virus. During the fourth week we test anyone who might have the virus. After the four weeks that number should be about one thousand. It is estimated that there are a few tens of thousands of active virus cases now, at the end of the four weeks that should be around five thousand, many of whom will be in hospital and most of the rest will be isolated. After the first isolation period we implement mandatory testing if a doctor or trained nurse or a policy requires it, and mandatory quarantine if infected people do not self-isolate. Medium-term we limit personal contact, wear masks, wash hands, bump elbows, supply handrub. We monitor all suspected infections and contacts. Schools stay closed until we know more, but people mostly go back to work. Until we find a vaccine or cure or the disease dies out, we implement long-term restrictions on entry to the country - perhaps five days quarantine, with a test on the fifth day. That will not catch everybody, but it will probably catch enough people. I suggest UK people already abroad should not have to pay for this, but for UK people leaving then re-entering and foreigners the cost should be included in the ticket price, a bit like airport taxes. That will not be enough to stop the virus completely, but it will be a good start. We will by then have a better idea of which measures are necessary and which are not. Perhaps one or two thousand people will die. We may have to repeat this, or bring in other measures - but like China, South Korea, Iran and Italy, if we persevere we will stop the virus. - But we have to implement strong isolation now - any delay will cost lives. The Government's alternative is to let the virus infect 40 million people or so, just slowing it down a little. On the Government's own figures that will involve four hundred thousand deaths. This delay policy must stop, now. We want to kil the disease, not delay it. - Suppose we try hard to stop the virus and it fails. We will have had time to prepare for the peak, time to build ventilators, time to train staff to use them, time to make masks, time to expand testing, time to provide more hospital beds - time to research the virus, maybe even time to develop a vaccine or cure. But then suppose we try hard and succeed. It seems most other countries will succeed too, and the disease will wither away or remain at a very low level until a vaccine or cure can be found. We know how to do strong isolation for infection prevention, and all the examples in other countries show where it has been tried it is working - we need to do it now. We also need to drop SAGE, the UK Scientific Advisory Committee on Emergencies. Preferably from a great height.
