We will see what is or isn’t possible when it comes to policing digital currency. I think that anyone who is betting the U.S. won't find a way to control and tax wealth, is just kidding themselves. I'm about as ignorant of all this as it's possible to be but what I DO KNOW is that once our government institutes their own digital dollar, all freedom, every single bit of it, is gone from that day forward. In THAT world, a skilled craftsman who has a marketable product based on his labor and knowledge, will be far better off than people with all their money in bank accounts. Barter will be the only means of sidestepping that control and even THEN, the government will be on the look out to bust such freedoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those on the Left in DC have reached the point where they simply ignore the laws and basically flip the people the middle finger. Consider Wray at FBI. He sits in front of a congressional committee and repeats, over and over, that he "can't discuss" cases under active investigation. Our government has morphed into full totalitarianism, all that's missing is confiscation of the guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahama’s authorities said he has done nothing illegal and is free to go. Like wow. This kid has friends in high places. This is the worst scandal in American history, and so far looks like he’s gonna walk. Along with several democrats who were getting money sent back from Ukraine through FTX to fund campaigns. That’s in part why it’s so important we send them a insane amount of cash flow. Just wow I saw a quote from Maxine Waters where she was basically saying - everyone was doing it. The Rs are going to be more circumspect (I hope) with the funding of Ukraine's war with Russia. They won't stop the funding (nor should they, IMO) BUT they should name an Inspector General to thoroughly audit every penny from this point forward. Honest people will have no problem with this.

+and-then Posted November 17, 2022 #82 Share Posted November 17, 2022 @acidhead He looks like he's cruising on some meth or something similar to it. I don't expect anyone to be held accountable for where these billions have gone BUT I'd at least like to see the politicians like Nancy, Chuck, Dick Durbin, and marble-mouth Mitch having to defend themselves in the public eye. There are certainly records of these "donations" and it should be fun and instructive to look at the dates when the cash was given to Ukraine and then compare it to when the campaign donations flowed by to the politicians.

I show the historical context they were written in and it has nothing to do with the U.S. As for Ezekiel. Any Rabbinical scholar will tell you it is the mudpies of a mentalcase's mind and only kept for its literary value. Edit: But the Jews are wrong about their own sacred book and a uneducated American preacher is right......Which is racist......

Isaiah was talking about the Jews being freed from Babylonian captivity by Cyrus the Great. The main part was probably written by the actual Isaiah. The prose and commentary added during the rule of King Josiah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortugabob Posted November 17, 2022 #87 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) These are some facts. US politicians send 50 billion USD in aid to Ukraine. It's the taxpayer's money. Ukraine government "invests" in FTX. Sam Bankman-Fried becomes the third highest donor to the Democratic National Committee to the tune of 70 million USD. One of his company officers give the Republicans 27 million USD. Do you see how this works? Edited November 17, 2022 by tortugabob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotoutthere Posted November 17, 2022 #88 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Next week the New York Times in partnership with WEF partner Accenture is supposed to be hosting a live event with Sam Bankman-Fried. Sitting next to him will be Zelensky, Zuckerberg and U.S. Treasury's Janet Yellen. How much has Biden promised Zelensky? Anybody else smell fish?

Gromdor Posted December 10, 2022 #97 Share Posted December 10, 2022 FEC is investiating after Sam Bankman-Fried's admission that he secretly donated money to Republicans:Sam Bankman-Fried’s Admission About Secret GOP Donations Provoke An FEC Complaint (msn.com) In a complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) cited a November interview between Bankman-Fried and YouTuber Tiffany Fong, in which Bankman-Fried claimed to be “the second or third biggest Republican donor this year.” Bankman-Fried is widely known to have donated roughly $37 million to Democratic candidates in 2022. But in the interview, he claimed to have donated “about the same amount” to Republicans. He said he did it anonymously because he anticipated a backlash if his ties to the GOP became public.- from the article. Sounds like he ws paying off both sides but was ashamed of being associated with the Republicans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted December 13, 2022 Author #100 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The Bahamas police have arrested Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, the country's attorney general has said. He will appear in a magistrates court in The Bahamas on Tuesday, authorities in the Caribbean country said.
