Move your 401k stock holdings to bonds and any crypto to XRP. Things are about to happen.


XRP is currently about $2 a share.

Let's see how well this post ages by next summer.

Bitcoin is $91,558 today.

An analogy

Imagine a vast theatrical production where the audience believes they're watching a genuine conflict between opposing forces on stage. The heroes and villains battle dramatically, each side claiming to represent truth and justice against tyranny and evil. The audience cheers their chosen champions, genuinely believing the outcome matters to their fate. But behind the curtain, the same director orchestrates both sides, the same scriptwriter has penned every line, and the same producer profits regardless of who "wins" each act. The stagehands who move the props, the lighting technicians who spotlight the action, even the ushers who seated the audience--all work for the same production company. When audience members occasionally glimpse backstage and try to warn others, they're dismissed as conspiracy theorists who don't understand the sophistication of modern theater. Meanwhile, the ticket prices keep rising, the seats grow more uncomfortable, and the exit doors are gradually being locked--but the show goes on, and the audience remains mesmerized by the performance, never realizing that the real drama is not what's happening on stage, but what's being done to them while they watch.

The One-Minute Elevator Explanation

For over a century, the world's wealthiest banking families have been systematically dismantling independent nations and traditional societies to create a global government under their control. They've achieved this by funding both capitalism and communism, financing both world wars and the peace movements, controlling both conservative and socialist parties--creating false conflicts to distract us while steadily advancing their real agenda. They infiltrated our institutions through the Fabian strategy of gradualism, capturing education, media, churches, and governments from within. They deliberately import millions of immigrants while suppressing native birthrates to demographically replace resistant populations. They created the Federal Reserve, the UN, the EU, and dozens of other supranational bodies that strip sovereignty from nations and concentrate power in unelected hands. They've made us financially dependent through debt, culturally rootless through multiculturalism, and spiritually empty through materialism. Every major political movement, every war, every economic crisis has been orchestrated to advance this agenda of total control. The choice we face is simple: recognize this conspiracy and resist it, or accept our planned extinction as distinct peoples with our own cultures, faiths, and freedoms. [Elevator dings]

What role did international banking families like the Rothschilds, Morgans, and Rockefellers play in financing supposedly anti-capitalist movements?

These banking dynasties systematically funded and controlled Socialist movements worldwide, revealing that the supposed conflict between capitalism and socialism was fraudulent. The Rothschilds financed Marx himself through their associates, while later supporting the Fabian Society and its London School of Economics. Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. provided twenty million dollars for the Russian Revolution, while the Rockefellers funded one-quarter of LSE's budget during Beveridge's directorship and established extensive ties with Soviet Russia through Chase Bank's Moscow branch. The Morgan interests participated through interlocking directorates with these other groups, creating what Carroll Quigley identified as an international network seeking "nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands."

This financial support extended beyond mere funding to active participation in Socialist planning. David Rockefeller praised China's Communist Revolution as a model for the world, while his foundations promoted immigration, multiculturalism, and social engineering projects that advanced Socialist goals. The bankers recognized that Socialism's centralization of power and elimination of middle-class competition served their monopolistic interests perfectly. They could loan money to Socialist states, profit from managed economies, and exercise control through debt while publicly maintaining the fiction of opposing ideologies, thus managing both sides of a false dialectic that always advanced their agenda of concentrated global control.

I plead absolute ignorance regarding cryto currency.....don't even know where or how to buy it. I remember trying to buy some Bitcoin in 2010 and not having the patience to jump through the hoops. Serves me right.

Care to enlighten the group?

The forum erases my posts containing words like C o i n b a s e and other places to buy crypt-o. But that's a place to get some. You can keep what you buy in a cold wallet for security, but you don't want to get one from Amazon because they're often hacked. I got one coming from Ellipal that was recommended.

AFAIK this could have been written by AI, but it makes complete sense. A new type of philanthropy has been created where there are no "losers". It's a net gain for everyone involved.

Could it someday replace Social Security? Worth the read IMO.

A FB page I follow has been coming up with some clever ones...

For those without young children, the "Franklin" series is in fact a real set of children's' books, in which the titular turtle experiences things.

Fabulous.


I have been noticing a lot more police in the subway system than usual. And not just Chicago PD, but also Cook County Sherrif, who you almost never see in the city. I've witnessed them pull two people out of subway cars over the past week, both of whom resembled the usual suspects. Yesterday, it was a guy who had just entered the car at a stop and sat down next to me. The police followed him in and took him out, which was nice, as there was a certain aroma about him.

That having been said, Tommie Carter decided that he would spend part of this day this past Monday asking strangers for a dollar on the Blue Line platform at Harlem, which is on the way to O'Hare. A couple stops north of my house on a line I ride frequently.

Mr. Carter did not like it when an as-yet-unnamed 59 near old man declined to provide him with a dollar, so he threw the man onto the tracks as an oncoming train was approaching.

Fortunately, the sharp-eyed driver of the train noticed the man on the tracks, just a few inches from the third rail, and was able to stop the train in time. He then radioed dispatch request an emergency power-cut to the third rail in his section, after which the man was able to be rescued.

The victim broke both knees (something which I can *really* empathize with at the moment) but survived. Officers responded quickly, and took Mr. Carter into custody.

Evil exists. Those who defend evil and partner with evil for personal gain also exist. This is a human phenomenon. It prevails more frequently in certain cultures than others but is not race dependent. It is culturally dependent.

This is how it's done. The extra added bonus is having Juanita Broderick post it.
