1. Funny you should mention msft gave a backdoor to N S A. I work at a big brokerage firm (working on leaving within the year) and we migrated in 2020 to full msft and our main program went from a straight program (don’t know correct term) to internet based which makes it slower etc I couldn’t understand why given that such a system would be easily hacked (I would think given it can’t be a closed system. It finally came to me a few months ago that it was a backdoor to govt. also the head of our ‘cyber security’ ‘used to’ work at the N S A….

2. Sadly, I could not get to the article due to being a subscription thing. He also does not give a referral link! None the less, if this is true then this is a major shift on the world politic stage!

3. Catherine and John, about EVs, to make matters worse for Hertz, they might have a hard time unloading those white elephants at a reasonable price, or at all. I’ve heard nobody is buying used EVs bc the expense of getting a new battery is higher than a good used gas car. This whole EV nonsense is astounding to me. But then, so is the jab. How peops can be so easily snookered into obvious stupid decisions is beyond me. But then, I’m an NT.

   I think I convinced my son-in-law to buy a pre-computer chipped mercedes diesel. 😉

   1. Here in Belgium buying this “debacle” is heavely subsidized. For a 40000€ car BTW inclusive you get 5000€ from the state in 2024, 4000€ in 2025 and 3000€ in 2026. They are clearly targetting the lower classes to buy those things. Those families that buy into this won’t be going anywhere within a few years, which I believe is the point!

4. Here you go: you could see the crock being stuffed for delivery. Question is, will the world accept this load of SOS?

   1. Unlikely.

5. This is the first time I have heard Trump mention CBDC:

   1. Impressive Trump talks about not supporting CBDC! Very good. I think the war is much more complicated than expected.

   2. I think the war against cash or not having financial freedoms towards the US is coming from abroad players.

   3. Trump, if elected, would have little to no control over what the Fed and central banks do. But his saying this might inspire a significant percentage of the country to insist on having a CBDC.

      1. The US to my understanding will be implementing stablecoins. Much the same as CBDC. Reason is Americans will not accept CBDC but we are still getting such. All credit card companies are working on this.
         I heard this from a Whitney Webb podcast.

         1. Deleted and posted below.

         2. Whitney’s talk 12 days ago on CBDC.

6. I was reading on the importance of financial transaction freedom and was wondering if Kinesis.money would be a potential solution. It allows you to buy physical gold or silver in allocated storage in your name, which is written into a block chain for security to ensure your ownership. It also allows you to spend your gold & silver for purchases at any Point-of-Sale terminal by selling the required amount to pay for the purchase at the time of purchase. Due to the small transaction fees, the fees allow for free storage at audited vaults at several locations around the world. Here is their web page on security to read what it says: https://kinesis.money/trust-security/
   My question is whether this a good way to ensure transaction freedom while saving in gold and silver.

   1. Chris,
      All the “sound money” people want gold back digital currency. The reason people own gold and silver is usually because they are precious and private, now someone wants them on the blockchain.
      I know that Catherine has a lot more to say about this so hopefully she will comment.

      1. Yes, working on multiple memos on this now.

         1. Excellent!

      2. I think this is an attempt to ‘legitimize’ adoption of digital.

         Already posted this comment above…so I’ll delet, if possible.

         Stable coins, crypto, Bitcoin, CBDCs, digital currency, whatever one calls it, it is all the same and runs on the network backbone of the control grid. I wish people would wake up.

         Peer-to-Peer networks are what is used to run real-time SWIFT banking transaction and every ACH payment (Aka., probably how you receive your paycheck or your monthly fixed income payment).

         You can read about IBMs Sterling Connect:Direct —originally named Network Data Mover (NDM).

         Every transaction requires an up address. Every transaction is not only traceable but can be intercepted at the beginning, middle, or end.

         It’s amazing to me how many people read about tech and act like experts yet they never actually used to tech and are completely unaware of the OSI layers.

         Better yet, read about the OSI Layers. Layer 1 -3 being the physical, transport, and network layers. The owners of the physical layers are a combination of Utility companies, just like your energy grid. They have ultimate control.

         I can say this until I’m blue in the face and people will ignore it.

         Many, many years ago I told this to Max Keiser. And what is making him backpedal on BitCoin now? The EFTs!! What a joke. Although it’s a good excuse for not really understanding tech, or pretending to, and convince people to adapt and adopt. I loved the Max and Stacey show and agreed with everything…except his cult like adoption of Bitcoin. That’s when I just couldn’t stomach the program any longer.

         Admittedly, with 35 years in tech industry, I’m learning new things every day and there are huge gaps and holes in my knowledge as well. Each layer has its own highly specialized required knowledge. Think of building a home: an architect, engineer, bricklayer, electrician, plumber, and contractor all serve different functions. Same with tech! Yet everyone is an expert in tech bc they use iPhone Apps. Just because you live in a house (a user) would you think you could build one or critique and anLyze it’s structural worthiness? (Rhetorical)

         1. Leslie,
            Exactly, and yet people are so excited that the State of Florida has two people working on legislation to introduce “sound money” here. I’m screaming from the rooftops trying to warn them but then you have people like this guy pushing it as Constitutional.

            When I objected, I was told, “well we don’t want the Feds showing up at our door confiscating our gold and silver.”
            I don’t understand all the technical aspects but if you apply common sense digital is not the way to go.

7. Is this real?
   New WEF Participant Crashes 2024 Davos Meeting
   It looks like it is not real!

   1. No it’s a spoof, but funny anyway.

   2. See if you think it’s real or not.
