 Here’s where the plot thickens. The Ukrainian POS government blamed on Russia. It wasn’t Russia, it was Ukraine. Aside from being rife with Nazis, this was another stunt created by the government to tar Russia. Thing is, Russia never celebrated the Holocaust. They may not have been good to the Jews, but there were a whole lot of Jews who were loyal to the Soviets. And Russia to this day has a large Jewish population. Particularly very religious Jews, and they practice freely and are culturally Russian. They’re happy in Russia under Putin. And Putin doesn’t have Burka clad Islamist Jihadists protesting in the streets screaming Death To Russia, Death To The Jews, Death To Christians Allahu Akbar! They’re banned. And so is Soros.

F*ck Ukraine! They’re the ones killing ethnic Russians in Mariupol and Donetsk. They blew up the pipelines.

Dallas ’63: A Brilliant Synthesis Regarding the November 22, 1963 Coup d’état, by Charles Burris

Once again, the intrepid Peter Dale Scott takes us into that claustrophobic wilderness of mirrors where the criminal underworld meets the establishment upperworld in the sub-rosa labyrinth of the Deep State. Scott is the premier synthesizer unearthing all the various seemingly unconnected strands of hard documentary factual evidence and counterfactual hypothesizing concerning the November 22, 1963, coup d’état.

He begins by addressing head-on the seminal question of “Who was Lee Harvey Oswald?” in a brilliantly sketched portrait we have not seen before. The intelligence services (especially the CIA’s chief of counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton – Associate Deputy Director of Operations for Counterintelligence (ADDOCI) suspected a Soviet mole had penetrated the dank bowels of the Deep State and obtained highly secret information concerning the U-2 spy plane. Soon an elaborate multilayered mole hunt began.

Abroad, the CIA/State Department “dangled” Oswald as a US Marine radar operator “defector” to the Soviets, while in the US they compiled a byzantine, contradictory and ever-shifting documentary “legend” of manipulated and altered biographical data concerning Oswald as a trap to snare whom among the various interagency intelligence personnel who accessed his files was the possible mole. Upon his return to the US, Oswald continued his counterintelligence role as agent provocateur, informer, and ultimately as “patsy.”

Mentioned almost in passing was Pyotr Popov, a Soviet military intelligence (GRU) officer who had been passing secrets to the Americans for seven years. In April 1958, Popov had alerted his Soviet Russia Division (SRD) case officer George Kisevalter that clandestine technical information regarding the CIA U-2 spy plane had reached Soviet intelligence via a Soviet mole. Thus began Angelton’s elaborate efforts to discover and out this treacherous mole. We journey deeper within the Wilderness of Mirrors as a young Marine radar operator, Lee Harvey Oswald, soon attempts defection to the USSR, entering the cloistered labyrinth of decades of lies, disinformation, duplicity, and deception regarding this mysterious individual.

That disturbing aspect of the story is fleshed out in John M. Newman’s Countdown to Darkness: The Assassination of President Kennedy, Volume II, and in Peter Dale Scott’s Dallas ’63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House. Angelton was in the epicenter of events which led to the November 22, 1963 coup d’état and savage murder of President John F. Kennedy.

As he was dying from lung cancer, the Machiavellian CIA head of Counterintelligence, James Jesus Angleton, provided author Joseph J. Trento (also cited by Morley in his book) this startling candid and diabolic confession:

You know how I got to be in charge of counterintelligence? I agreed not to polygraph or require detailed background checks on Allen Dulles and 60 of his closest friends . . . They were afraid that their own business dealings with Hitler’s pals would come out. They were too arrogant to believe that the Russians would discover it all . . .

Fundamentally, the founding fathers of U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted. These people attracted and promoted each other. Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power. I did things that, in looking back on my life, I regret. But I was part of it and loved being in it . . . Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, Carmel Offiie, and Frank Wisner were the grand masters. If you were in a room with them you were in a room full of people that you had to believe would deservedly end up in hell. I guess I will see them there soon.

In my personal library I have several thousand books, hundreds relating to the covert and overt background concerning the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. From every chapter, from every page of Dallas ’63, leaps long forgotten names and events from these shelved volumes which Scott has masterfully woven into a head-spinning narrative describing the sinister milieu of intriguers from that period.

This concise volume is unlike any previous work on the subject in its magisterial detail of facts and scrupulous documentation of sources. I highly recommend it to the experienced JFK Assassination research community.

Revisiting the “Legend” of Lee Harvey Oswald

[With the onrush of contradictory information/disinformation being put out concerning the alleged attempted assassin of President Donald Trump, Thomas Matthew Crooks, let us briefly take a look at the “patsy” in the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.]

The “Legend” of Lee Harvey Oswald, by Charles Burris

Because so many of my LRC articles/blogs over the years have focused upon the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the insidious coup d’état by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and the highest echelons of the National Security State, many readers have inquired again and again what was my assessment of Lee Harvey Oswald, targeted by the Warren Commission as the sole assassin. I have over 100 books in my personal library on these matters. Here briefly are my thoughts and reflections on this controversial subject.

The “Legend” of Lee Harvey Oswald

Our story begins with Petr Popov. Popov was a Soviet military intelligence (GRU) officer who had been passing secrets to the Americans for seven years. In April 1958, Popov had alerted his Soviet Russia Division (SRD) case officer George Kisevalter that clandestine technical information regarding the CIA U-2 spy plane had reached Soviet intelligence via a Soviet mole. The intelligence services (especially the CIA’s chief of counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton – Associate Deputy Director of Operations for Counterintelligence (ADDOCI) suspected a Soviet mole had penetrated the dank bowels of the deep state and obtained highly secret information concerning the U-2 spy plane.

Thus began Angleton’s elaborate efforts to discover and out this treacherous mole. It will ultimately lead to his downfall within the CIA.

We journey deeper within the Wilderness of Mirrors as a young Marine radar operator, Lee Harvey Oswald, soon attempts defection to the USSR, entering the cloistered labyrinth of decades of lies, disinformation, duplicity, and deception regarding this mysterious individual. That disturbing aspect of the story is fleshed out in John M. Newman’s Countdown to Darkness: The Assassination of President Kennedy, Volume II, and in Peter Dale Scott’s Dallas ’63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House.

Angleton was in the epicenter of events which led to the November 22, 1963 coup d’état and savage murder of President John F. Kennedy.

Soon an elaborate multilayered mole hunt began. Abroad, the CIA/State Department “dangled” Oswald as a US Marine radar operator “defector” to the Soviets, while in the US they compiled a byzantine, contradictory and ever-shifting documentary “legend” of manipulated and altered biographical data concerning Oswald as a trap to snare whom among the various inter-agency intelligence personnel who accessed his files was the possible mole.

Upon his return to the US, Oswald continued his counterintelligence role as agent provocateur, informer, and ultimately as “patsy.”

History has recorded Lee Havey Oswald as the “lone nut assassin” of President John Kennedy. But perhaps he is someone substantially different than what “official history” has made of him.

His favorite TV show as a kid was, I Led Three Lives about a double agent for the FBI, Herbert Philbrook, who secretly spies on the Communist Party in the US (I have a signed edition of Philbook’s book by the same name). Oswald was a ninth-grade dropout who joined the Marines in 1956 and became a radar operator with a top security clearance who worked on projects related to the secret U-2 spy planes for the CIA. Oswald was assigned first to Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in July 1957, then to Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Japan in September as part of Marine Air Control Squadron 1. He learned to speak Russian while a Marine at a secret CIA/ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) training base at Nags Head, North Carolina.

Like all Marines, he was trained and tested in shooting and scored 212 in December 1956, slightly above the requirements for the designation of sharpshooter. In May 1959 he scored 191, which reduced his rating to marksman. He was a poor shot.

Oswald obtained a hardship discharge from the Marines allegedly because of his mother’s poor health, left the United States, and tried to defect to the Soviet Union in 1959. The Soviets were immediately suspicious of his intentions believing he was one of many such agents sent to spy on them. He tried to commit suicide. He was then sent to the city of Minsk to work as a lathe operator at the Gorizont Electronics Factory, which produced radios, televisions, and military and space electronics. He was under constant surveillance by the Soviets. Oswald met a young 19 year old girl, Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova, who was the niece of a Soviet intelligence official. Marina thought he was a Russian because he spoke the language like a native Russian. He married Marina and later petitioned the US State Department for permission to return to the United States. It was granted. The State Department loaned them the money to come to the US in 1962. This was quite unusual for the State Department to grant permission to return and loan money to someone who tried to renounce his US citizenship as a “defector.”

Although he was someone who tried to defect to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, he traveled in right-wing, anti-Communist circles of former Russian émigrés. His new best friend was George de Mohrenschildt, a petroleum geologist with international business connections who was a CIA contract agent and colleague of George Herbert Walker Bush.

Oswald held a series of odd jobs.

He moved to New Orleans and became the sole member of the New Orleans chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Oswald ordered the following items from a local printer: 500 application forms, 300 membership cards, and 1,000 leaflets with the heading, “Hands Off Cuba” establishing a paper trail of his pro-Castro activities. He visited anti-Castro militant Carlos Bringuier at a store he owned in New Orleans offering his services as a former Marine. Bringuier was the New Orleans delegate for the anti-Castro organization Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil (DRE). This was a CIA front group.

In 1963 the group was financed by the CIA with $25,000 per month, under a CIA program named AMSPELL run by George Joannides, the chief of the psychological warfare branch in Miami’s JM/WAVE station. The money went to Luis Fernandez Rocha, the DRE’s leader in Miami, and supported the DRE’s activities in a variety of cities, including New Orleans. Joannides also provided non-financial support, including reviewing military plans and briefing them on how to handle the press. Joannides worked with the group from December 1962 to April 1964; CIA monthly reports on the group from 1960 to 1966 have been declassified, except for this period. It was this group which first spread to the media after the assassination disinformation concerning Oswald’s Cuban connections.

In 1978 the CIA summoned Joannides out of retirement to serve as the Agency’s liaison to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, in specific regard to the death of President Kennedy. Former Washington Post reporter Jefferson Morley writes “the spy withheld information about his own actions in 1963 from the congressional investigators he was supposed to be assisting. It wasn’t until 2001, 38 years after Kennedy’s death, that Joannides’ support for the Cuban exiles, who clashed with Oswald and monitored him, came to light.”

Bringuier would later tell the Warren Commission that he believed Oswald’s visits were an attempt to infiltrate his group, when they were actually used to establish his “legend” or cover as a Marxist supporter of Cuba.

On August 9, Oswald turned up in downtown New Orleans handing out pro-Castro leaflets. His Fair Play for Cuba leaflets had the address “544 Camp Street” hand-stamped on it. This was actually the address where the anti-Castro, anti-Communist groups were headquartered. Bringuier confronted him claiming he was tipped off about his leafleting by a friend. A well-publicized scuffle ensued and Bringuier, Oswald, and two of Bringuier’s friends were arrested for disturbing the peace. Before leaving the police station, Oswald asked to speak with an FBI agent. Agent John Quigley arrived and spent over an hour talking to him.

Oswald later appeared on New Orleans TV and radio interviews claiming to be a Marxist supporter of Castro and the Cuban regime, further establishing his “legend” or cover identity persona, just as Herbert Philbrick did as a double agent for the FBI in his favorite TV show as a child.

In 1961-62, the New Orleans chapter of the Cuban Revolutionary Council, a CIA front group, occupied an office in the Newman Building at 544 Camp Street. This was the building where anti-Castro activist and accused JFK Assassination conspirator Guy Banister had his office. Banister also had worked in Naval Intelligence and continued his intelligence connections. This was also the address Oswald had stamped on his pro-Castro flyers.

Banister’s office was within walking distance of the New Orleans offices of the FBI, CIA, Office of Naval Intelligence and the Reily Coffee Company where Oswald worked. Reily was Oswald’s employer and a supporter of anti-Castro Cubans. During this period, Banister associate Sergio Arcacha Smith was the “official delegate” for the New Orleans chapter of the CRC.

Banister’s secretary, Delphine Roberts, told author Anthony Summers that Oswald “…seemed to be on familiar terms with Banister and with [Banister’s] office.” Roberts said, “As I understood it, he had the use of an office on the second floor, above the main office where we worked…. Then, several times, Mr. Banister brought me upstairs, and in the office above I saw various writings stuck up on the wall pertaining to Cuba. There were various leaflets up there pertaining to Fair Play for Cuba.”

Later Oswald is going to be accused of shooting at right-wing former Major General Edwin Walker in his home, although both Walker and the Dallas police stated he was shot at with a 30.06 rifle, a firearm Oswald never owned. The Dallas police claimed that the bullet was a 30.06 caliber; the bullet shells from the Texas School Book Depository were 6.5mm. The Walker bullet was too severely deformed to allow a conclusive analysis of its pattern of grooves. A spectrographic examination by Henry Heilberger of the FBI laboratory found that the lead alloy in the bullet was different from that of bullet fragments found in President Kennedy’s car.

Oswald’s wife Marina was the Warren Commission’s chief witness to the alleged shooting at both General Walker and President Kennedy. She later fully renounced her testimony stating it was achieved under duress and threats of sending her back to the Soviet Union to face reprisals.

Although Oswald never spoke of any hostility or dislike towards President John Kennedy he is going to be accused of shooting the most protected man in America.

Oswald is going to be accused of ordering a cheap mail order rifle so there is a paper trail, instead of simply going to a local gun shop in Texas to purchase the rifle incognito. In Texas no identification was needed, and no incriminating paper trail would exist. An incriminating paper trail was created when purchasing a weapon from a different state by mail order. The 6.5×52mm Mannlicher-Carcano ordered from Chicago allegedly by Oswald using the name of “A. Hidel.” The rifle portrayed in the ad and which Oswald allegedly received were not the same.

He is going to be accused of taking pictures of himself with the rifle he is going to use. Then he is going to be accused of shooting the president from the place where he works, the Texas School Book Depository.

The Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) building was owned by D. H. Byrd, co-founder of the Civil Air Patrol (in which Oswald served in as a youngster in New Orleans) and was a strong financial supporter of Lyndon Johnson. After World War II Byrd helped incorporate CAP and have it designated as an Auxiliary of the Air Force, helped initiate the International Air Cadet Exchange, and established or supported cadet scholarships. For his work with the CAP Byrd was awarded the US Air Force’s Air Force Scroll of Appreciation on 24 May 1963. Byrd and fellow Dallas right-wing billionaire H. L. Hunt were personal friends of Air Force Chief of Staff General Curtis Lemay, a rabid Kennedy hater who later flew hundreds of miles to be in the operation room gallery at JFK’s autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the day he was murdered

D. H. Byrd also employed LBJ’s personal hitman Malcolm Wallace at his defense company LTV. LTV got a big defense contract in January, 1964. Wallace’s fingerprint was found in the sniper’s nest on the Sixth Floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD). Byrd had the so-called “sniper’s window” removed from the TSBD which he kept as a souvenir. Byrd was a big game hunter and had the trophy heads of all sorts of animals in his house. Some persons suspect the TSBD sniper’s window was right next to those mementos.

Oswald was not in that window at the time of the assassination but was downstairs eating lunch. In that window just prior to the assassination was TSBD employee Bonnie Raye Williams eating a chicken bone sandwich.

Oswald is going to be accused of taking off from the TSBD and shooting a cop, Officer J. D. Tippit, and leaving his wallet on the scene so he could be found.

On November 24, 1963, Oswald is going to be shot by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby in the garage of the Dallas Police headquarters in full view of television cameras broadcasting live to millions and die at Parkland Hospital. Ruby had stalked Oswald at police headquarters all weekend since his arrest.

Jack Ruby had long standing connections to organized crime figures, all the way back when he was a numbers runner for Al Capone’s mob in Chicago while a youth. He later worked for Congressman Richard M. Nixon, at the urging and recommendation of Lyndon Johnson. In the weeks prior to the assassination, Ruby had been in contact with major crime figures from around the country.

While watching Jack Ruby shooting Oswald on Sunday morning on TV, Richard Nixon voiced his recognition of Ruby as the man who once worked for him.

This Oswald/Dallas assassination “plot” is one of several other uncovered such plots.

There were two uncovered in Chicago, one involving a group of Cuban men with high-powered rifles and scopes, and one involving a former Marine Thomas Arthur Vallee who, like Oswald, had served at the Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Japan.

Abraham Bolden, the first African-American Secret Service agent, claimed that in October, 1963, the Chicago Secret Service office received a teletype from the Federal Bureau of Investigation warning that an attempt would be made to kill President John F. Kennedy by a four-man Cuban hit squad when he visited the city on the 2nd of November. Armed with high-powered rifles, the men were from “a dissident Cuban group”. According to investigative journalist Edwin Black, the Secret Service arrested two suspects, however, they were eventually released.

Bolden later discovered that this information was being kept from the Warren Commission. When he complained about this he was warned “to keep his mouth shut”. Bolden decided to travel to Washington where he telephoned Warren Commission Counsel J. Lee Rankin. Bolden was arrested and taken back to Chicago where he was charged with discussing a bribe with two known counterfeiters. He was eventually found guilty of accepting a bribe and spent six years in prison. When he tried to draw attention to his case, he was placed in solitary confinement. Mr. Bolden has steadfastly maintained his innocence, arguing that he was targeted for prosecution in retaliation for exposing unprofessional and racist behavior within the U.S. Secret Service.

Mr. Bolden chronicles his experiences in his book The Echo from Dealy Plaza. He has been recognized through numerous platforms for his ongoing work to speak out against the racism he faced in the Secret Service in the 1960s, and his courage in challenging injustice. In 2022 Bolden received a full pardon from President Joe Biden,

Another plot involved an assassin in Tampa, Florida who was to be situated in a high-rise building while the presidential motorcade passed. The Tampa gunman would have fired from a window of the Floridan Hotel, then the tallest building in the city. (In Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of shooting from a window on the sixth floor of a book depository.)

Il manoscritto fornisce un grimaldello al lettore, una chiave di lettura semplificata, del mondo finanziario e non che sembra essere andato "fuori controllo" negli ultimi quattro anni in particolare. Questa è una storia di cartelli, a livello sovrastatale e sovranazionale, la cui pianificazione centrale ha raggiunto un punto in cui deve essere riformata radicalmente e questa riforma radicale non può avvenire senza una dose di dolore economico che potrebbe mettere a repentaglio la loro autorità. Da qui la risposta al Grande Default attraverso il Grande Reset. Questa è la storia di un coyote, che quando non riesce a sfamarsi all'esterno ricorre all'autofagocitazione. Lo stesso è accaduto ai membri del G7, dove i sei membri restanti hanno iniziato a fagocitare il settimo: gli Stati Uniti.

____________________________________________________________________________________

(Versione audio della traduzione disponibile qui: https://open.substack.com/pub/fsimoncelli/p/il-valore-fondamentale-di-bitcoin)

In questo articolo spiegherò come Bitcoin sia strutturato come il TCP/IP, i due protocolli alla base di Internet. Senza protocolli, non ci sarebbe rivoluzione digitale e le nostre vite sarebbero radicalmente diverse.

In tutto il testo troverete estratti da Valley of Code di Flavio Copes che utilizzerò per spiegare perché il valore di Bitcoin risiede più nel protocollo che nell'asset in sé.

Il sito di Flavio è dedicato alla programmazione e all'apprendimento di altre competenze legate al web. Diversi anni fa mi sono imbattuto nel suo lavoro e sono rimasto molto colpito dalla semplicità con cui uno dei suoi tutorial spiegava il fondamento di Internet: il TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).

In passato ho scritto alcuni articoli correlati qui e qui. In questo aggiornamento spero di spiegare il valore fondamentale che sta dietro l'importanza di Bitcoin/bitcoin.

I fattori fondamentali sono più importanti del prezzo.

Nel lungo termine i fondamentali sono il vero motore di qualsiasi asset; si basano su una bassa preferenza temporale (Bitcoin Standard). Sebbene questo mantra sia un principio fondamentale della comunità Bitcoin, si osservano ancora comportamenti orientati al mercato fiat e con un'elevata preferenza temporale... soprattutto verso la fine dei mercati rialzisti.

Questo è il classico comportamento del TradFi. Un'emozione umana che sono quasi convinto non riusciremo mai a eliminare finché il prezzo sarà parte dell'equazione. Il “denaro”, o meglio la valuta, ci fa fare cose folli!

Ciò che mi ha colpito della descrizione di Flavio è stata la semplicità con cui ha spiegato un argomento piuttosto complesso, e la sua efficacia nel descrivere Bitcoin. Sono passati più di vent'anni da quando mi sono immerso in protocolli, architettura di rete e altri dettagli correlati. Questo è stato un buon ripasso. Una descrizione basilare di Internet è la seguente:

Al centro di Bitcoin troverete molte di queste stesse caratteristiche, con nodi collegati in rete per supportare gli indirizzi dei wallet Bitcoin che effettuano transazioni, compilate ed elaborate da miner che agiscono in modo simile agli ISP tradizionali (Internet Service Provider). Essi confermano e raggruppano le transazioni in modo che i trasferimenti avvengano attraverso la rete Bitcoin.

Questa tecnologia ci sta facendo passare da una società industriale a una digitale, e il passaggio è tanto drastico quanto l'ultimo salto da una società agraria a una società industriale (XVIII-XX secolo).

I futuri vincitori saranno ricompensati altrettanto generosamente e i perdenti si troveranno altrettanto debilitati quanto coloro che hanno assistito all'ultimo grande trasferimento di ricchezza. L'unica cosa certa è che opereremo tutti in un “nuovo mondo” con standard diversi.

Il potere del mondo digitale è che tutto sarà connesso.

In un mondo interconnesso il valore della rete è molto più potente di quello di silos scarsamente interconnessi. La differenza nel XXI secolo è che abbiamo “reso di nuovo grande la matematica”. La statistica basata sulla Legge della potenza (crescita esponenziale) e la Legge di Metcalfe sono i motori della nuova era, che opera con i dati come il nuovo petrolio.

Abbiamo già assistito a questa storia: l'evoluzione e l'adozione dell'Internet tradizionale (TCP/IP). Abbiamo visto cosa succede quando informazioni, affari e comunicazioni vengono resi accessibili a quasi tutti, ovunque. Ora, con l'avvento di Bitcoin, vedremo la stessa cosa accadere con il denaro. In pratica, avremo una moneta API.

Nel nuovo mondo banche, portafogli digitali, nodi, persone, aziende, media, ecc. avranno tutti un indirizzo che potrà inviare dati o ricevere denaro. Crea opzionalità. Qualcosa di vero per le persone.

Non abbiamo mai avuto una situazione simile prima con questo livello di potenziale integrazione, ma abbiamo visto le ramificazioni della digitalizzazione in quasi tutti i settori. Quest'ondata sarà molto più grande e molto più drastica, soprattutto se si considera il potenziale dell'intelligenza artificiale, ma questo esula dall'ambito di questa discussione.

Le reti locali (digitali) sono ormai una parte fondamentale delle nostre vite. Una rete locale di qualche tipo influenza praticamente tutto ciò che facciamo. Poiché le nostre reti sono ancora piuttosto isolate, è fantastico avere accesso, ma non altrettanto quando non possiamo connetterci. A meno di non disporre di un FTP, di un cloud o di un accesso remoto a un server, potremmo essere esclusi.

Leggendo tra le righe, sembra molto simile alla situazione attuale del sistema bancario.

In generale i banchieri, in particolare quelli nelle banche centrali, hanno respinto la trasformazione digitale con regolamentazione, burocrazia e interessi fasulli per una serie di ragioni. Lascio a voi indovinarle, anche se sono piuttosto ovvie.

Bitcoin e altre criptovalute stanno colmando non solo il divario tra denaro frammentato e disconnesso, ma stanno anche aprendo la strada a una nuova infrastruttura digitale più connessa, più integrata e più disponibile dell'attuale configurazione TCP/IP.

Certo, alcune sono più sicure (Bitcoin) di altre (crypto), ma insieme daranno vita a una nuova ondata di innovazione che aprirà la strada ai prossimi Google, Amazon, Netflix, ecc.

Il protocollo Bitcoin funziona allo stesso modo del TCP, ma con sicurezza e crittografia come fondamento basilare. Restituendo la proprietà all'utente anziché alla piattaforma.

Una comunicazione più diretta, tra pari, avviene senza la necessità di un intermediario che storicamente ha sottratto i dati per il proprio tornaconto personale, o ha imposto una qualche forma di censura ogni volta che alla piattaforma è sembrato opportuno farlo.

Questa è fondamentalmente la differenza del protocollo Bitcoin, che si basa sul TCP/IP, il protocollo Internet tradizionale.

Per semplificare le cose su Internet, non dobbiamo ricordare indirizzi IP, server, ecc. dobbiamo solo digitare il nome del dominio (google.com, espn.com, enterwebsitename.com) e le informazioni verranno visualizzate.

Bitcoin è attualmente (e sta cambiando rapidamente) in uno stato in cui inseriamo gli indirizzi IP e dobbiamo conoscere i dettagli dei server, ecc. MA questo cambierà e sta cambiando. Immagino che, presto, la prossima ondata porterà una serie di applicazioni con un'interfaccia utente/esperienza utente migliore, in modo che gran parte di queste informazioni rimanga nascosta.

Si stanno iniziando a vedere nomi di dominio e funzioni di email a pagamento simili a quelle con cui ci sentiamo a nostro agio sull'Internet tradizionale. È così che Bitcoin diventa mainstream: quando i lunghi e complessi indirizzi vengono rimossi, proprio come non è più necessario usare indirizzi IP su internet.

Un amico, Mark Jeftovic, che gestisce un'attività di domini Internet tradizionali, ha svolto alcuni studi preliminari su come potrebbero apparire i domini nell'ecosistema Bitcoin. Questo tipo di innovazione è in arrivo ed è necessaria se vogliamo che 4-6 miliardi di persone accedano a Bitcoin.

Ciò che è importante quando si fa riferimento a queste prime RFC di Internet è che sono strutturate esattamente come i Bitcoin Improvement Process. Queste RFC sono il modo in cui la DARPA costruì le prime fasi di Internet. RFC 793

Era il modo in cui hanno votato e discusso intellettualmente quali *standard* fossero necessari per gestire un sistema informativo funzionale e accessibile a tutto il mondo. Erano alcuni degli “hackerì” più intelligenti tra i più intelligenti, impegnati a costruire un sistema che avrebbe alimentato la successiva grande ondata dell'evoluzione umana: la rivoluzione digitale.

Quindici anni fa, Satoshi fece lo stesso. Chiunque fosse, lui, lei, loro o qualsiasi gruppo che abbia creato il protocollo Bitcoin, comprese il valore di costruire un sistema globale.

Sembra che Satoshi abbia copiato questo modello, scoprendo anche come incorporare la crittografia. Soprattutto Satoshi ha risolto il problema della doppia spesa. Per la prima volta il denaro digitale non poteva essere copiato, consentendo allo stesso e ai dati di vivere sulla stessa catena. A mio parere, questo ha implicazioni molto più profonde del cloud computing e abbiamo un riferimento a come è andata a finire.

Entrando in una nuova era, abbiamo creato una moneta digitale in grado di sfruttare nuove fonti di energia, integrare e alimentare meglio il commercio, e proseguire una storia di innovazione tecnologica in tutto il mondo. Non solo in aree centralizzate del globo.

Oggi gli sviluppatori di Bitcoin Core portano avanti questa fiaccola, “hackerando” e portando avanti dibattiti di alto livello ed estremamente intelligenti per costruire un sistema monetario più connesso e sicuro.

Come con il TCP/IP, Bitcoin è alla ricerca di un protocollo secondario (livello 2) che sia l'opzione più leggera, veloce, meno macchinosa e più economica. UDP mi ricorda il protocollo Lightning Network, o potenzialmente Fedimint o qualsiasi altro livello 2 che alla fine diventerà: “Più veloce, ogni pacchetto inviato è più leggero, poiché non contiene tutte le informazioni necessarie in TCP, e ha un processo di handshake più leggero. Lo svantaggio è che UDP non è affidabile quanto TCP”. RFC 768

Nel sistema monetario tradizionale, il denaro funziona più o meno allo stesso modo. Negli Stati Uniti abbiamo l'oro come valuta di base, mentre i titoli del Tesoro e i dollari come valuta di base più leggera e veloce (livello 2). In Cina lo yuan è la valuta di base e il renminbi il livello 2.

The structure of the relationship between $RMB & $CNY is very interesting when ???? at it through the lense of #Lightning ⚡️to #Bitcoin.

Sebbene Bitcoin sia un protocollo innovativo, è solo un'ulteriore aggiunta per connettere meglio i nostri sistemi globali, le persone e il denaro. È anche un caso di “niente di nuovo sotto il sole”.

Con l'innovazione il tempo, i nomi, la tecnologia e il denaro cambiano, ma le emozioni umane no. Il viaggio sarà lo stesso, ma diverso a seconda dei nostri comportamenti e delle raccomandazioni di chi si sente minacciato.

(5656) Barnes Law School: Due Process & Illegal Immigrants – VivaBarnesLaw Community

Not only is Robert Barnes a master litigator and top-notch attorney but one of the most in depth, articulate, well read and street-smart experienced political analysts in the nation. Whether it involves the institutionalized criminal machine cartels of the Democrats and Republicans or the deep state, he is a true polymath reminiscent of Murray N. Rothbard in his power elite analysis of Realpolitik.

What process is due for those without a legal right to be present in the United States before they can be detained and deported?

The Trump administration is apparently adopting a foreign policy that is much more aggressive than advertised when campaigning. Candidate Trump reminded voters that he had not started any new wars in his first term and suggested that he would cut the Pentagon Budget in half.

The reality is that Trump has just proposed the first trillion-dollar DOD budget and in March started a bombing campaign in Yemen. Trump even bragged about bombing a hundred or so people in Yemen posting the video on social media. Somewhat ghoulish….

The Trump administration is threatening bombing Iran. This could have devastating effects on the world economy and geopolitics. Fortunately, Trump did not sanction recent Israeli plans to attack Iran. In the case of Russia and Ukraine, Trump has worked to deescalate the conflict. This effort could be negated if war with Iran breaks out.

The Trump administration has continued the Biden era war on free speech and has redirected it from speech about COVID toward speech critical of Israel. The administration has branded speech critical of Israel as antisemitic speech. This is an extraordinary assault on the First Amendment.

It goes without saying that the First Amendment protects antisemitic speech as it does anti Catholic speech, or any other kind of unapproved speech. Americans have a right to hate Jews, Catholics, white people, black people, and everyone in between. They also have a right to express such hatred in nonviolent ways. The reality is that what is considered racist, sexist, bigoted speech, is much more subjective than is advertised.

What makes the Trump administration actions so extraordinary is that the administration and many Republicans are conflating criticism of Israel and Zionism with hatred of Jews. In the eyes of the Trump administration, to criticize the foreign nation state of Israel is antisemitic speech.

A foreign nation state is so privileged that the basic rights of Americans must be ignored to placate this foreign power?

This means that Christians that practice the teachings of Christ and speak out against the genocide in Gaza are antisemites?

A two-tier society must then be created where Jews are above criticism, and all other races and religions are fair game?

A disturbing video of a Tufts University graduate student being arrested by government agents in street clothes, some of whom are masked, has gone viral. The student is a foreign national from Turkey and had written op eds critical of the genocide in Gaza.

This appears to be a thought crime, although, there appears to be no crime other than criticizing Israel. Contrary to what some believe, free speech is a Natural Right that the American founding fathers believed was gifted by God and preexisted and transcended the existence of government. Deporting college students that are legally in the United States for criticizing Israel or the Israeli genocide in Gaza is a despicable assault on the First Amendment. If they are legally here, they have the same basic civil rights as Americans.

If it can be done to them it can be done to us. This is exactly what some Republicans and Democrats in Congress have been trying to do. According to the Jewish Insider:

The legislation codifies a Trump-era executive order declaring that antisemitism is a prohibited form of discrimination in schools and universities, and that the Department of Education should use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism in assessing cases of antisemitic discrimination.

The Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism gives examples. Here are a few of them:

Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

With arguably the exception of calling for violence, these are mainly pure thought crimes. Critical thinking requires individuals to question narratives they’ve been fed. After all, in an abstract sense, the story is never actually true. It is what it is, everything else is basically a psychological projection.

So, if a researcher determined that the actual number of Jews killed in NAZI Germany was less than the number of 6 million that would mean they are antisemitic?

Pointing out that Netanyahu behaved like a NAZI when he said that Israel would be a laboratory for the ‘COVID vaccines’ and then injected 90% of Israelis with mRNA bioweapon injections, would define one as an antisemite?

Questioning pedophile blackmailer CIA/Mossad agent, Jeffrey Epstein’s loyalties, would make one antisemitic?

Criticizing the genocide in Gaza and comparing Israeli policy in this regard to NAZIS would make one an antisemite?

So, it is okay for the left to talk about the White Power Structure, but examining potential Jewish influence in the media, economy, government, or other societal institutions, is antisemitic?

We here about the Italian Mafia, Russian mob, Chinese, mob and so on. What about the Jewish mob? Are Jews angels and above criticism?

Will such restrictions be placed on all criticism of all religions? What about races?

Does this apply to the entertainment industry?

Every other word in many movies is the use of the name ‘Jesus Christ’ in a blasphemous manner. These screen plays are often written, directed, produced, and acted, by non Christians.

The post Is Trump Morphing Into Bush on Foreign Policy and Civil Liberty Issues? appeared first on LewRockwell.

It was a very, very, very small minority of human beings that were not complicit in the Scamdemic Holocaust (defined by the Oxford Dictionary as a “destruction or slaughter on a mass scale”). Most human beings were either active perpetrators of or passive consenters to it. In 2020, a small minority of very evil human beings conspired to create Hell on Earth, with a large majority of dwellers, many of whom were perfectly happy in their new dwelling place. All, to some extent, were complicit in the conspiracy. Who didn’t evince some lack of decisive resistance and courage? I sure did. God permitted all this as an end-times—perhaps the end-times—trial, to wake us up to the reality of evil, hell, and the devil so that we would cry out to Him for rescue, and the vast majority of human beings failed this test. But it did sift the sheep from the goats. Five years later, no universal reckoning, no moral and spiritual atonement, has occurred. A few, perhaps, have recognized their complicity and repented, but there has been no mass repentance. Indeed, most have doubled down on their crimes and sins.

What this means is that there exists in the present world an enormous gash in the cosmic fabric, an incalculably large unpaid moral, spiritual, and karmic debt, a gigantic mass of unatoned mortal sin. This entails guilt, an enormous amount, perhaps more than has ever existed in the collective consciousness of man. Such unatoned injustice and unexpiated sin cannot just be ignored, forgotten, or “given amnesty.” As all classical and sacred literature attests, and perhaps it is its main theme, injustice must be accounted for—and it always is, somehow or another. In the meantime, there is literally hell to pay. To live with real guilt produced by real sin is to experience hell on earth, for hell is the eternal state of the unrepentant soul after death, and God allows men to experience the hell of guilt before they die so that they would repent. But repentance is painful and humiliating, so we try to deal with it in other ways: rationalization, denial, violence, projection, malice, idolatry, deception, and scapegoating. But such counterfeits of repentance lead to mental illness, culminating in psychosis, not to mention demonic possession and the state of being confirmed in sin. We are seeing all of these manifest themselves on the grandest of scales, continuing and building upon the hell on earth established in earnest in 2020.

There are new agents in power in the American Deep State, and there seems to have been some reckoning going on. Perhaps the Strong Gods have returned, or at least some of them. Perhaps the Open Society project is over. Perhaps we are witnessing the end of the Third American Republic. But this is all window dressing unless and until the Crime Against Humanity, the plandemic, is avenged.

IXXI was the Crime Against Humanity before the plandemic, and it has not yet been avenged. The Assassination of JFK was the crime and the coup that enabled and culminated in IXXI, and it has not yet been avenged. Both of these unspeakably evil crimes prepared the way for the plandemic, both geopolitically, spiritually, and psychologically. And this has not yet been avenged. All of these crimes have the fingerprints of intelligence agencies all over them:

A week or so ago on another comment thread, discussion turned as it so often does to “Which men and women, precisely, are at the very head of this global crime syndicate?” My view is that all the smaller semi-secret organizations — British Pilgrims Society, Muslim Brotherhood, Freemasons, Rothschild-Rockefeller cabal, Zionists, Illuminati, Mossad, Jesuits, SERCO, British Crown, Kabbalism, Orsini Black Nobility, Bilderbergs, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, socialists, communists, etc. — are just brands or flavors of the single underlying Luciferian enterprise. It needs to present different faces to different groups to elicit cooperation among some people, and conflicts among others. I think that’s what drives people that yell “It’s all the British Pilgrims Society [you sheeple morons]!!!” or whichever society they’ve done the most research into. These semi-secret societies are many faces of the same Liar telling the same core lie: that God is something other than Who and What He is. It’s the same structure of flashing lights and loud bangs in the foreground, puppet-masters carrying on undisturbed in the dark, quiet background, that’s been rendered somewhat more visible through the Covid-19 exposure.

The conspiracy is powerful, and it has captured, blackmailed, seduced, infiltrated, and commandeered all the institutions in every government and nation, including those that could, in theory, bring it to justice. What this should tell us is that there is no hope whatsoever in a political and legal reckoning for these crimes. They got away with murdering JFK in broad daylight. They got away with turning the Twin Towers to dust with a directed energy weapon and by the use of holographic planes. And they will get away with the plandemic, the greatest crime against humanity since the crucifixion.

None of this means that we shouldn’t do everything we can to bring about legal justice for these crimes, and to continue to resist complicity in their crimes and relentlessly and boldly speak truth to power, even to the point of civil disobedience and coordinated, just violence and revolution. The latter is what Dr. David A Hughes recommends at the end of his book (the best book you will ever read on the scamdemic), and he is right. But the point I am trying to make is that nothing we can do will ever atone for the sins, expiate the guilt, and secure an adequate reckoning of the evils that have been done. And I have not even mentioned the abortion holocaust, the sodomization and genital mutilation of children, and the Gaza genocide. The sins and crimes of the elite occultists are so evil as to be unmentionable, but they are legion and now coming out of the infernal closet and demanding our consent and celebration. The putrid ocean of sin and injustice is overflowing the dam of God’s patience and mercy, and it is much worse today than it was in the time of Noah. And the evils are increasing. Indeed, what we have to prepare for is its increasing metastasization until the appearance of Antichrist.

Christ in His return will bring all things to their final conclusion and accomplish the ultimate and only real reckoning. In the meantime, know that the underlying purpose of all the evils we are witnessing, and the ultimate motive of their agents, is to manipulate us, through either fear or seduction, into choosing our own damnation. What causes damnation? Essentially, choosing unreality over reality, our own wills over God’s will, the path of self-centered power over other-centered love. The demons and their willing accomplices are committed to substituting their own counterfeits of reality, their own psychopathic wills, and their own diabolical power for God’s Reality, Will, and Authority. And they are not content with forcing these on us, though this gives them enormous pleasure. They want us to consent to it, to cooperate with it, to desire it.

To take just one example, consider the mask mandates. They didn’t just compel us to wear them; they managed to get us to want to wear them. What is more, they were able to get us to want to wear them while knowing full well what wearing them truly meant—not an act of love of self and neighbor, but an act of simultaneous self-aggrandizement, dishonesty, scapegoating, and enslavement to unreality. In short, the mask was the perfect sacramental of sin itself, and many wore it with great pleasure.

God is Reality, and Jesus Christ is God. He is thus the sine qua non of our participation in Reality, and the Eucharist is His body, blood, soul, and divinity on Earth. The Catholic Church is His Mystical Body on Earth, outside of which there is no salvation. Please connect the dots. If you are already Catholic, then go deeper into her in silent prayer and frequent confession and communion. If you are not Catholic, then become Catholic. She is undergoing the Passion of her Lord at this time. She is the only sure connection with Reality we can have on earth, and we need this connection more than ever before. As it was during the Lord’s Passion, Judas and the Pharisees are at work to eclipse this Reality, so be circumspect and vigilant. Keep yourself pure from idols.
