Now, I'm actually pro-jab (in my real life), and I don't actually own BTC, etc.
Based on my profiling, I believe you could be a Communist Chinese Party (CCP) asset.
The first reason to believe that is this site is somewhat anti-CCP and could therefore be monitored by the CCP or active measures taken.
Any CCP asset would likely have taken the jab, but take active measures to confuse Americans to not take the jab to make future releases of manufactured viruses more effective on the US population.
Also, it is well documented that the Chinese have been stockpiling gold since the 1990s. Any CCP asset would want to turn Americans away from gold toward a soft asset such as Bitcoin that will lose value in the event the CCP attacks the power grid.
Good, we're of a similar mind on this issue then, too. Thanks for your response. And no, I'm not a troll, I'm a truth seeker. The truth bothers people, which is why when you see a response to what is considered a controversial post in modern life (a clearly confused, crazy age), you'll notice most of the time it is an emotional lashing out that is accusatory (as these "Guests" do to me). I'm glad you aren't in that camp.
Some of what you say I believe to be true, and some of what you say I believe to be false. You know which topics fall in which categories for me based on your prior conversations with me.
But I’m an experienced debater who knows how to handle positions like yours and like Bob Butler’s as long as the opposing side is not filled with vitriol. You and Butler may have your prejudices, but for the most part you two, unlike Burner Prime and the “Guest” trolls, know how to express them in a calm, non-vitriolic manner.
In addition, the Biden Covid bail out is just an expanded version of the previous Trump ones, which are mostly pork for insiders. All of this is just exponentially expanding government debt and bringing us ever closer to the financial "day of reckoning".
Printing more money (or taxing the rich) is not going to save us financially. We do not "print money" in the USA. The Fed creates money by issuing DEBT. So we create far more additional DEBT than we do funds. This is why DEFLATION will be the hallmark of the financial implosion.
Also, and this is crucial to understand, the banks would be destroyed by hyperinflation. Biden will not allow this to happen.
This is largely true and correct, it just lacks a predictive element. DEFLATION will cause the government to print, in my view. They could just let it all burn, but my money says they don't, so we transition to significant inflation (hyperinflation has all sorts of definitions, so I don't use the word). Banks would be destroyed by both deflation and major inflation, so pick your poison.
Do you think that when all the defaults happen, and large numbers of creditors are stiffed, they're just going to wait it all out? It's an option, but like raising interest rates, I don't think so. This is the key question, apart from the "Great reset" and UBI scenarios, more fake pandemics, etc. All of it is based on fear and control, of course. Old people especially, but many young people alike, who fear death and not God, fall for this all the time. They are idol worshippers largely, longevity being just one of their many, false gods.
The banks will not want everything to "burn" either. Not even those they have lent to. But they will want everything they can squeeze out of such people.
I explained this and what this will mean to individuals and families in the book (as well as what they need to do to protect themselves). You should get a copy, as all of the proceeds currently go to John and helps him. With all the time you spend on the site, doing something for John, might be a good idea.
For anyone that donates, once your donation is posted, you will get an email back from me through GoFundMe. It will include a personalized password. You need to respond to that email, as otherwise I will not have your email address (GoFundMe keeps those private). Once I get a response, you will get a personalized copy of the book that will only open with your password.
To elaborate on my previous post: I don’t care how outlandish or reprehensible your views may be to me. I’m up for a debate any time, as long as you’re non-vitriolic towards me.
If willingness to debate were alcohol, I’d be the guy who has moonshine with his breakfast.
A variant of the above hate crime article appeared in the Butler's Perspective thread, along with my full reply. I shall only repeat here that the Atlanta shooter was white, that his motive was thus hardly jealousy of a 'model majority' status, and that both black and red xenophobia against Asians would be equally deplorable.
This man is a prototype of everything that is wrong with the country. Lies and identity are more important than anything else. A truly disgusting thinker and promoter of all lies and Alinsky's favorite rebel.
Are you talking about Butler or the Atlanta shooter when you say "This man is a prototype of everything that is wrong with the country"?
Create a handle and tell me why something 7% of GDP is THE issue that destroys the US if it loses it. I'll be waiting. Or better yet, tell Martin Armstrong who debunked this long ago, as well. I'm sure you know more than both he and I, though apparently you can't tell me why something so small could be the linchpin issue, so you haven't.
Call me crazy, but I believe the other 93% of whatever you want to label it is more important than some internet meme meant to scare people or make things simple to understand in their minds. As I've said, the petrodollar is just a SMALL proxy of overall US economic and military hegemony. Of course when it goes away, it goes away with all of their other powers that the US had, but that means nothing as far as it being any more important than economic history, technology, military power, diplomatic pressure, defense, etc.
Actually, there is an existential threat coming out of the Middle East. It's called the petrodollar agreement. That goes, and our economy instantly collapses like a house of cards.
That's why we're getting involved in the Middle East so much. It's all about protecting Saudi Arabia and advancing its geopolitical interests. If we don't do that, we risk an economic disaster worse than the Great Depression.
Saudi Arabia is probably the only country whose clout over our economy rivals that of China's. In fact, it may even surpass China's.
"Petrodollar" has been used to refer to different things, but the "petrodollar agreement" which DaKardii refers to here means only one thing. It was the agreement brokered by William Simon in 1974 where the Saudis agreed to recycle their dollars into US government bonds, and that kept the dollar system afloat.
The Untold Story Behind Saudi Arabia’s 41-Year U.S. Debt Secret
How a legendary bond trader from Salomon Brothers brokered a do-or-die deal that reshaped U.S.-Saudi relations for generations.
May 30, 2016, 6:00 PM CDT
Failure was not an option.
It was July 1974. A steady predawn drizzle had given way to overcast skies when William Simon, newly appointed U.S. Treasury secretary, and his deputy, Gerry Parsky, stepped onto an 8 a.m. flight from Andrews Air Force Base. On board, the mood was tense. That year, the oil crisis had hit home. An embargo by OPEC’s Arab nations—payback for U.S. military aid to the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War—quadrupled oil prices. Inflation soared, the stock market crashed, and the U.S. economy was in a tailspin.
Officially, Simon’s two-week trip was billed as a tour of economic diplomacy across Europe and the Middle East, full of the customary meet-and-greets and evening banquets. But the real mission, kept in strict confidence within President Richard Nixon’s inner circle, would take place during a four-day layover in the coastal city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The goal: neutralize crude oil as an economic weapon and find a way to persuade a hostile kingdom to finance America’s widening deficit with its newfound petrodollar wealth. And according to Parsky, Nixon made clear there was simply no coming back empty-handed. Failure would not only jeopardize America’s financial health but could also give the Soviet Union an opening to make further inroads into the Arab world.
It “wasn’t a question of whether it could be done or it couldn’t be done,” said Parsky, 73, one of the few officials with Simon during the Saudi talks.
At first blush, Simon, who had just done a stint as Nixon’s energy czar, seemed ill-suited for such delicate diplomacy. Before being tapped by Nixon, the chain-smoking New Jersey native ran the vaunted Treasuries desk at Salomon Brothers. To career bureaucrats, the brash Wall Street bond trader—who once compared himself to Genghis Khan—had a temper and an outsize ego that was painfully out of step in Washington. Just a week before setting foot in Saudi Arabia, Simon publicly lambasted the Shah of Iran, a close regional ally at the time, calling him a “nut.”
But Simon, better than anyone else, understood the appeal of U.S. government debt and how to sell the Saudis on the idea that America was the safest place to park their petrodollars. With that knowledge, the administration hatched an unprecedented do-or-die plan that would come to influence just about every aspect of U.S.-Saudi relations over the next four decades (Simon died in 2000 at the age of 72).
The basic framework was strikingly simple. The U.S. would buy oil from Saudi Arabia and provide the kingdom military aid and equipment. In return, the Saudis would plow billions of their petrodollar revenue back into Treasuries and finance America’s spending.
It took several discreet follow-up meetings to iron out all the details, Parsky said. But at the end of months of negotiations, there remained one small, yet crucial, catch: King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud demanded the country’s Treasury purchases stay “strictly secret,” according to a diplomatic cable obtained by Bloomberg from the National Archives database.
With a handful of Treasury and Federal Reserve officials, the secret was kept for more than four decades—until now. In response to a Freedom-of-Information-Act request submitted by Bloomberg News, the Treasury broke out Saudi Arabia’s holdings for the first time this month after “concluding that it was consistent with transparency and the law to disclose the data,” according to spokeswoman Whitney Smith. The $117 billion trove makes the kingdom one of America’s largest foreign creditors.
Yet in many ways, the information has raised more questions than it has answered. A former Treasury official, who specialized in central bank reserves and asked not to be identified, says the official figure vastly understates Saudi Arabia’s investments in U.S. government debt, which may be double or more.
You and Butler may have your prejudices, but for the most part you two, unlike Burner Prime and the “Guest” trolls, know how to express them in a calm, non-vitriolic manner.

Full Definition of vitriol
1: bitterly harsh or caustic language or criticism
The crisis issues this time around are COVID, the economy, structural racism, red violence, and perhaps global warming. The Republicans found reason to be against solving all of the above problems. Biden is at least starting to address all of them.
Not that I didn't know, but you are totally delusional. You can't come to a right conclusion with a wrong premise (or premises). COVID is not a crisis issue. The economy is the way it is because of lack of free markets and cronyism from large government and corrupt pols. Structural racism is a meaningless, nonexistent term and bankrupt idea. Violence is blue or pro communist. Global warming is a farce.
Your analysis can never be correct because you believe in, and promote, lies.

Better check your moonshine before you imbibe. And don't inhale.

Not vitriolic?
Okay, you got me there with that literal definition. But that response there still is tame compared to other posts I’ve seen here by other people. That’s the point I’m trying to make.
