The whole point of using a decentralized currency was to *reduce* transaction costs, dammit! Using the 9,000 intermediaries and such BS to transact on the man's grid is of course gonna fail. The only place I see it as useful at all is direct or escrowed exchanges; and I'm pretty sure automated BtC escrow can be done for cheaper for $35 -- but not if you worry about "Know your Customer" and the rest of the snitch grid shit.

Much like Ross Ulbricht, the Statists are in full on insane rage mode about her, and will promptly throw her under the jail.

Finally! Someone says it officially on the record. All of us have been SCREAMING this for YEARS! I guess they had enough after insinuations like this from the Pentagram's mouthpieces:

Kirby, asked Wednesday what the consequences would be for Russia if cooperation with the U.S. in Syria collapsed, said “that extremists and extremists groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there ... which will include, no question, attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities, and Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags.”

This is also after Uncle Satan has decided to give MANPADS to Al-Qaeda again.

These "white helmet" quislings prove to be your usual USG false-flag group.

In what could be considered the most telling insight into police culture yet, the officer charged with second-degree murder for killing a 6-year-old child with autism has requested charges be thrown out — because he shot the boy multiple times in the head in self-defense.

Lt. Derrick Stafford, a deputy city marshal in Marksville, Louisiana, has now asked a judge to dismiss charges because — despite he and fellow officer Norris Greenhouse, Jr.’s claims at the time they did not know Jeremy Mardis was present in the vehicle they fired upon — he acted in defense of his and other officers’ lives.

Disgusting. Being enslaved to do "public works" is still slavery even if you don't have to face down terror in a godforsaken warzone.

What a waste.

"Austerity": doesn't result in recessions.

And people wonder why there's anti-immigrant sentiment. Open borders and welfare states are incompatible. Of course, people don't think that abolishing the welfare state is the humanitarian thing to do; so I guess we get to close the border and live in a gulag because of bleeding hearts.

He was one of the good writers for InfoWars. Good on him for breaking with Jones over the Trump BS.

Commerzbank announces massive layoffs, no more dividends.

NINJA loans to the rescue:

In the pilot program, Freddie Mac says that applicants will be able to use the income of others who live with the borrower but who aren’t going to be on the mortgage to qualify. Also, income from second jobs that borrowers have held, even for a short period of time, can now be factored in. The program will also not require borrowers to come up with bank statements to show how they saved for their down payment.

Bullish. I hear several RE markets are sort of "hockey sticking" with regard to prices too, so we're approaching the apex.

It's a Gas.

Sorry, we can't return your property because we already sold it and spent the money. Feel free to pound sand with your court order while we laugh on into the night.

Would not shock me, all's fair in politics yanno.

Supposedly intercepted audio cooperation between Daesh and them RE bombing Assad's forces last week. Huge, huge deal if true.

Supposedly it is a grand conspiracy by Russia and the DPR to shoot down a civilian airliner despite there being no motive for either side to do so. The theory that it was a Ukrainian owned Buk missile system that did the deed (as they had one in the area) due to a bonehead mistake still seems more plausible to me. If this report would have spoken to the motive in a convincing way, maybe?

Additional goodie:

Lawyers and analysts observing the presentation have expressed doubt that the secret Ukrainian and American government evidence can be admissible in court. On questioning by a sceptical Dutch journalist, Westerbeke acknowledged that all the telephone intercepts and wiretaps reported as evidence of Russian involvement in the reported missile operation originated from the Ukrainian secret service.

Not suspect at all, heh.

like all of them.

When evaluated as a single integrated whole, the Trump plan is revenue neutral...

Another perfect day in mournhold

Nice to see him humiliated (like he cares). Anyways, the courts will manage to make sure this means nothing, and the Saudis simply won't care -- they'll just move anything that can be seized out of the jurisdiction.

Good. They'll come to their senses later.

Let's hope cooler heads prevail like they have up until now. The worst peace is better than the best nuclear war.

Countdown to the higher up gowned clowns to overturn it begins now.
