  1. 1:06:20) Under the guise of “Bitcoin will save everything,” Bitcoin will be weaponized. To paraphrase Catherine: “You’re basically slaughtering 156M people to advantage 25M Bitcoin holders.” Sounds like another strategy to “divide and conquer” turning the majority against a minority. In essence creating another “minority” to rail against resulting in more chaos. Question: Where would that leave the 156M people? Would their dollars be worthless?

      1. Besides an untrustworthy legal & Government system, as stated by the book review, it seems the problem goes back to a small group of people repeatedly printing up unlimited money, or conjuring up whatever digits they want on a computer screen to borrow to the general population, and then charging them interest on that fake fiat money. But I suppose switching to ANY monetary system could only be as good as the trustworthiness of the people running it & operating it, going back to the point of the book. Which leads back to your point of repeatedly mentioning to make sure you have real tangible assets…

  2. “Rich Men North Of Richmond” Tops iTunes As Voice Of Working-Class Goes Viralhttps://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/picture-5.jpgby Tyler Durden

    The raw honesty of a former factory worker in what could be the protest song of our generation has become an internet sensation overnight. The song “Rich Men North of Richmond” has skyrocketed to No. 1 on iTunes this weekend.
    Oliver Anthony, a former factory worker who decided to pursue a life in music last year and is living in the forgotten part of the US, Appalachia, an area plagued with an opioid crisis and abandoned factories, tells the story of the working-class folk who struggle daily while being ignored and mocked by political elites. Here is the first couple of lines from the song:

    I’ve been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay,
    So, I can sit out here and waste my life away, drag back home, and drown my troubles away.
    It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to for people like me — for people like you.
    Wish I could just wake up and it not be true. But it is. Oh, it is.

    Living in the New World – with an old soul.
    These rich men north of Richmond. Lord knows it all. Just want to have total control.
    Want to know what you think, want to know what you do.
    And they don’t think you know. But I know that you do.
    Because your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end because the rich men north of Richmond.
    I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just minors on an island somewhere.
    Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothing to eat, and the obese milking welfare.
    God, if you’re five foot three, and you’re 300 pounds, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
    Young men are putting themselves 6 feet in the ground because all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down.
    Lord, it’s a damn shame – what the world’s gotten to for people like me, people like you.
    Wish I could just wake up and it not be true. But it is. Oh, it is.
    Living in the New World – with an old soul.
    These rich men north of Richmond. Lord knows they all. Just want to have total control.
    Want to know what you think, want to know what you do. And they don’t think you know. But I know that you do.
    Because your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end because the rich men north of Richmond.
    I’ve been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay…

    1. Yup. I found Santa Rosa a tad more subtle than Paradise. But also very clear it was not wildfires.

  4. Rich men north of Richmond could be one of the sparks that lights a revolution in government.

  5. Just finished re-reading John Titus’ summary of The Going Direct Reset in 2020 Annual wrap up. It is more disturbing with each read, especially now with benefit if three years of hindsight revealing the total commitment with which the reset is being pursued.

    1. Yup Central bankers may recalibrate to improve their plan, but in a reset, they dare not veer from the plan .

  6. Catherine, nope, sorry you’re wrong again. Show me one example of where Trump ever pushed the vaccine or required anyone to get it. Trump was in an election year when they foisted the COVID operation on all of us. How could he possibly have said “we won’t develop a vaccine?” I’ll wait for your answer.

    The crime was 100% the Biden administration and all of it happened in 2021 or later. We obviously can’t prove a hypothetical that Trump wouldn’t have forced anyone to get a vaccine, but he certainly never did. You are helping create a false narrative to keep the Democrats in power. If that happens, then, thank you and we’ll all meet in hell.

    1. If the politics are that he must develop a vaccine then he can require that vaccine to be safety tested. mandate an market informed consent and warn re the dangers and make sure compensation provided for victims, and more = there were many acts that could have been taken to stop people from poisoning themselves. Warp Speed was a genocide, John. No way back from that. The people wanted a vaccine because they thought one was possible and would work. Trump marketed that and he knew it was not true. That is not what they got. They got shots that were something else – a wide variety of something else including shots filled with highly inappropriate even highly shocking ingredients – that is engineering a slow kill. I do not buy it is ok to kill and disable millions of Americans because the person authorizing it and keeping their mouth shut on critical issues felt politically squeezed. Our lives are not to be swapped for poll results. The crime was everyone. The only politicians on the horizon who tried to stop it from doing harm to businesses and people were DeSantis, Kristi Noem, Kennedy and a handful of others – they stood up to Trump’s hatchet man Pence and great pressure.

      IF you think Trump is not responsible and not accountable for his actions and their results, that is your call. As someone who refused to be squeezed rather than allow the federal credit and funds to trick, harm and destroy people and their businesses by going with the flow, I know exactly where the line is. Trump crossed the line. It is what it is.

      And FASAB 56?

      1. “If the politics are that he must develop a vaccine then he can require that vaccine to be safety tested. mandate an market informed consent and warn re the dangers and make sure compensation provided for victims, and more = there were many acts that could have been taken to stop people from poisoning themselves. Warp Speed was a genocide, John”

        I’m surprised that you’d double down on this.

        The fact is that Trump was put into a double bind by the operation, which was planned with the contagion and the vaccine already prepared before anything was visible. So, if he says it has to be tested in the usual fashion, then he is castigated as killing Americans by not availing them of “the cure.” I also elected not to get the vax, because I was not forced to get it, while some of my children were, with employment in the medical and military functions. So, I have a familial vaccine exposure all my own. The forcing and exhorting, rewards and incentives were under the illegitimately ensconced Biden administration. That is a plain fact.

        You have immersed yourself in Euro- think, And Europeans, regardless of their generally wan individual accomplishments, readily despise Americans as irredeemable bumpkins. I draw your attention to the fact that Europe has been dying since World War I, and lost on both sides of the ball in both wars. The US has been propping them up ever since. Perhaps it is their pride that keeps their conceits alive.

        The exofocus of the US is a departure from its initial charter. The hand of Marx, Keynes and others from Europe has been suffusing the politics of the US for over a century. They knew that their civilization was going to perish, and it has done so in jig time. Klaus Schwab and the other Nazis of the WEF have captured the US government. They are the ones that don’t want Trump re-elected. Will you stand with them? There is your line for you.

        1. An eye opener answer. Reminds me of the song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ lyrics. I believe that the title should have said ‘Rich Men and Women North of Richmond’, based on a commend from Catherine where she said that ‘this is an equal opportunity’ genocide of the US economy & country. Indeed it is.

        2. You said “You have immersed yourself in Euro- think, And Europeans,”
          Where is your evidence of this? I spend plenty of time with Americans whether in the US or in Europe and am distinctly American. I Just got back from six weeks in Tennessee, South Carolina and Pennsyvania. I also spend time with Africans, Asians, Latin Americans. Since when is learning and communicating globally with freedom fighters a bad habit for Americans?
          Our latest piece is on the Dutch farmers and fisherman – a case study that describes the global model of what is being done to all farmers and all people.
          I live in the Netherlands because the physical harassment had started up again in the US and I did not want to die. Seemed better instead to start a new chapter and put myself in a position to learn lots more.
          I am investing significant money, time and resources throughout 2023 in helping state and federal legislators and candidates in USA. How much money and time are you spending doing the same John?
          Trump funded Warp Speed and appointed an expert in brain machine interface to run it.
          Here is what I appreciate. about Trump:
          He exited the WHO and the Paris Agreement
          He brought more transparency in selected areas and introduced math to the national conversation
          He listened to working people and enterpreneurs and communicate their needs.
          When it came to what actually happened during his Administration he contributed to more small businesses being destroyed than any President.
          We disagree on this. Hard policy based on my experience as a US official and government contractor.
          Let argue facts and opinions. Not cheap shots. That is not like you, John. You are a good and brilliant man.

          1. Catherine, you may rest assured that I am having this argument with you not because of disrespect but because of the urgency of convincing someone that is 99% on the same side as me but has allowed one particular matter to cloud her judgment. I don’t think I have seen any argument that rings valid that Trump was an originator or perpetrator of the genocide. The pre-engineered genocide/ economic reset was rolled out so that Trump could be unseated. Evidently, most of the Americans who, as you often say, are smart, saw through it, and came out in droves to reelect him. The people that hate us gladly molested the election and instead of taking the will of the electorate, they printed ballots and harvested votes illegally to elect a ticket of true fools and criminals, and have been covering it up ever since. I don’t know what you aren’t seeing about this.

            I’m glad to take cheap shots at Europeans who know nothing of America and decide that Trump is a bad guy because their controlled media tells them to. He fits with their general disregard for American wisdom.

            Perhaps it’s not WWJD to not help one’s enemies. But I refuse it. It’s WWJDD.

          2. It is a rare day when I discuss Trump with a European. They are generally not following him or the Presidential campaign other than anything that contributes to new transparency, like De Santis on CBDC or Kennedy on the border wall. Almost all my conversations about the campaigns are with Americans. Most of the Europeans I know have long standing liked America and Americans. Europeans are grappling with real problems in their daily life. Great poisoning. Shadow work. Inflation. Immigration, Interest Rates. Energy prices and availability. Financial Fraud. Crime/Safety. Sound familiar?
            Pandemic planning has been going on for decades. They tried to get the Swine Flu to go global and couldn’t – and went back to the drawing boards. The Pandemic was not to get rid of Trump. It was to implement the reset.

            Right now many Americans with sense are focused more on what is happening in their state house. Can they stop the red flag laws in TN. etc. Can they get a state bank or bullion depository> Freedom must be won at the state level.

            Meantime, got an explanation for why Trump is still bragging about the vaccine?

          4. Indeed Catherine, It is “not excusable” for Trump to bragged about the vaccine production or to not come after it publicly condemning it. But John has a point, that he didn’t mandate it. How do we know he knew all the details from every angle? We don’t know – but it will be fair to say that he “should have known” -being in power, right? Of course, he “loves money” & he has been part of the rich establishment & understands their games well, as he has played them himself. So are all those who have worked for the government, whether directly or indirectly – benefiting from the tight network (that’s where the money is). So, how do we know real people’s intencion? We don’t until they show us & that can take years to come to discovery until they have taken all the monies, change laws, slowly deceive us, ran away & there is nothing left. Look at how long is has taken us to learned about the infiltration at the federal level.
            I believe that we have no representatives left who are unaffected, unfortunately. So it is up to the people to educate themselves fast.

      1. Pushed? Give an example. Who mandated, advertised, promoted, incentivized, rewarded, exhorted, cajoled, wheedled, appealed to your basic human decency through all manner of media and government influence channels to get the vaccine while threatening various punishments if you didn’t. That’s right, Biden and the criminals who support him.

        1. Trump approved the original funding. That required a Presidential signature.

          1. I have lots of hope for America. America’s future does not depend on Trump or any individual candidate.

          2. True. But, some candidates could be worst. The grass is not always greener on the other side. People in Florida are not liking DeSantis much anymore – interesting turn of events.

          3. Indeed Catherine, It is “not excusable” for Trump to bragged about the vaccine production or to not come after it publicly condemning it. But John has a point, that he didn’t mandate it. How do we know he knew all the details from every angle? We don’t know – but it will be fair to say that he “should have known” -being in power, right?

            I believe that we have no representatives left who are unaffected, unfortunately. So it is up to the people to educate themselves fast.
            I must add, that Trump did take us our of the WHO & was in the process of decreasing the gov & military spending – very strategic moves – & the beginning of the freedom movement.

          4. I agree, Trump was opposed to mandates. But if you look at the authority that he gave the military and the funding, the companies and governmental organization were able to implement mandates. So I hold him responsible for those that occurred before Biden cam on board. As was just pointed out, he was the Commander in Chief. He is responsible for the “live exercise.”

        2. Trump also has stated in 2 different interviews (O’Reilley being one) that he “could be called ‘The Father of the Vaccine’,” and that he was proud of his “accomplishment” of pushing it through “in record time”, warp speed.

          1. Well, it is an accomplishment that new tech have made possible to develop effective solutions with “less time & expending less money”, that if there is a REAL societal problem, that the gov will used the resources to actually solve it & not to collude with commercial pharma to make money out of people & small businesses. The covid-19 was not a real problem but made up.

    3. Trump is 100% responsible for Operation Warp Speed since he was the commander and chief. As president Harry Truman wrote in 1953:
      “The President–whoever he is–has to decide. He can’t pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That’s his job.”
