BREAKING NEWS: HISTORY BEING ERASED !

The city of Memphis sold two public parks containing Confederate monuments to a private entity Wednesday in a massive operation to take the statues down overnight. The Memphis City Council unanimously approved the sale to an unknown entity without disclosing the details of what they were voting on and within minutes Memphis police officers had deployed to the statues of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in Health Sciences Park and President Jefferson Davis in Fourth Bluff Park. Mayor Jim Strickland, who signed the ordinance to sell the parks within an hour after the vote, released this statement on his social media accounts shortly after 6 p.m.: "Health Sciences Park and Memphis Park have been sold. Operations on those sites tonight are being conducted by a private entity and are compliant with state law. We will have further updates later tonight." Cranes were spotted at the Forrest statue around 6 p.m. http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/government/city/2017/12/20/memph… Also, Earlier this month, the city filed a petition asking for judicial review of the Tennessee Historical Commission's denial of a request to remove the Forrest statue. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/memphis-parks-confederate-statues-sold-removal-… The city was trying to get the Historical Commission's denial of the waiver to remove the statue nullified, with the argument being that the Heritage Protection Act doesn't cover the Forrest memorial because it's not a "War Memorial". However, the remains of Forrest and his family are buried UNDER THE STATUE, making it a GRAVE. Because the statue itself is the headstone, thus part of the grave being desecrated, the demolition crew, the city officials, the police, and everyone who was involved in the act can be charged with criminal conspiracy for desecrating the grave. 39-17-311. Desecration of Venerated Object: (a) A person commits an offense who intentionally desecrates: (1) A place of worship or burial; or (2) A state or national flag. (b) A violation of this section is a Class A misdemeanor. law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2010/title-39/chapter-17/part-3/39-17-311/ The city sold the parks to a private trust, so their argument is that it was private property so they can do what they want with it. However, the monuments themselves are protected by the Tennessee Heritage Protection Act, which is why the city applied for a waiver and was denied, so by going this alternate route it would appear the city overstepped its bounds. They're taking down the Jefferson Davis statue next. Pic related.

To the extent Q / AI are ranked as legit threats, then the same level of efforts should be being thrown into deploying Post Q/AI cryptocoin, and serious questions should be lodged and asked of those that don't.

He was party to negotiating terms of sale, acceptance of same and the goods. Both parties get exactly what they agreed to. Should people be able to buy 65" TV and chargeback return them after that stupid game known as the SuperBowl? Nice try. > Or (obCrypto) "should the messages on your phone be safe from > government snooping?" vs. "should terrorists and drug dealers be > allowed to hide behind cryptography?" Yes, obviously this must happen, because you know damn well strong crypto with backdoors in it that smells like swiss cheese is nothing but snakeoil to which your bank account, contracts, personal emails, and more will all fall. And strong crypto is needed for so many fine things. Crypto is just a shovel, it doesn't have to answer twisted questions like this. Plow snow or whack someone with it. Nice try though. > And for payments, what they do is to use plastic. > [Swedish don't use cash] As before, you and the Swedes all got scammed, worse yet, you agreed to it, probably while watching the SuperBowl drunk on beer, how stupid was that... lol, suckers. Adopt cryptocurrency and scam them back.

[MINISTRY] - when facts don't succeed, HuffPost it? real life humour
by Zenaan Harkness 20 Dec '17

So those libery-lefty night-terror seeds, aka facts, are such pesky, pesky things, so when facts get in the way, throw some ad-homs and "slight"ing facts (HAH! that pun'll make sense in the context - "short man" accusations, a true fact I guess :) So, HuffPo takes down Andrew Anglin - you know you love it :D Yes kiddo, you know this is not going to end well for HuffPo - not quite up there with CNN making the JQ public swank again, but dang funny nonetheless. Now for the newbies - "punks" of mind and heart - there are some things that "true punks" are not allowed to talk about, and are absolutely not allowed to laugh at, such as Nazis, Hitler and Andrew Anglin, 'cause, like, "procreate with huwaite nationalists" already! Trigger Warning: to all snowflakes: do NOT go there, that's a nartsee ---------------- web soit and them thar trolls'll flog yer brain silly dey will! Seriously, we should just let the ADL and the SPLC ⟨aka, dem Zio like folkes⟩ decide which websites to allow on the internet, and which websites are Nazi havens to be wiped from the face of the earth now.

Avg Joes really don't like people and corps and governments all up in their business. Don't believe this, ask them over beers. If you give them two otherwise identical coins, tell them one's private and the other isn't with an honest five minute explanation, they'll pick the private one. It's up to you to make, give, and explain. Bitcoin is nowhere near private or anonymous. Genuine cryptographic privacy needed for that, such as found in the Zerocash (Zcash) family of coins, as well as other technology and tools. Even then some attention to proper usage is needed. Explain to Joe USA that banks and governments are actually silently scamming and thieving him to the tune of around 3% a year via simple inflation, plus much more on top of that via other means... he'll probably be quite happy to attend your cryptocurrency handling and storage class. People aren't completely dense, they do ask and want to know how, especially if they find you trustworthy. You have to earn that. > If you compare the number of transactions done with cash these days to > the number done with plastic, the answer should be pretty obvious. Plastic is a scam, designed to track, control and tax your ass under a guise of being beneficial, all while being easy to swallow, which you did. Cryptocurrency is the new plastic, without the scam. > This article in today's NY Times looks at NY doormen and other > employees who have traditionally gotten a lot of income from cash > tips, but nobody has cash any more: > > https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/18/style/seasonal-tips-cash-free-payments.h… There's a "war on cash" against humanity conducted by governments banks and corps don't ya know. Search that string. Cryptocurrency is the new cash. Get them setup on their phone, tip well, tell them it'll be worth something if they manage / use it well together within their peer / community groups. That will get their attention and spark something there much more than yet another boring $10 bill would. That's your job.
