Bitcoin isn’t the bubble — the global financial system is
Bitcoin isn’t the bubble — the global financial system is © Getty Images Pretty much every article you read about bitcoin in the mainstream press ends up in the same place. You may not hear it until the seventh or eighth paragraph, but eventually you’ll be told that the whole thing is nothing more than […]
Welcome to 2018 – We Are All Connected
Welcome to 2018 – We Are All Connected To see a world in a grain of sand And to see heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage. A dove-house fill’d with doves […]
Reflections on 2017 – A Personal Journey
Reflections on 2017 – A Personal Journey 2017 was a tumultuous and extremely binary year for a considerable number of Americans. For those who thought everything was going swimmingly during the Obama years, Trump’s election wasn’t simply a shock to the system, but an extinction level event for civilization that handed the U.S. government to […]
It’s Time to Rethink Education – Part 1 (Indoctrination)
It’s Time to Rethink Education – Part 1 (Indoctrination) Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned. – Mark Twain As a father of two young children, my thoughts have increasingly started to center around their young lives and the future world they’ll inhabit. Such considerations quickly lead to stressful questions such as, what are the […]
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 3 (War)
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 3 (War) In the first two installments of this series, I discussed the potential for the U.S. federal government to make some spectacularly foolish moves against its own people in the realms of cannabis and Bitcoin. My basic assumption is that government tends to […]
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 2 (Bitcoin)
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 2 (Bitcoin) The financial crisis of 2008/09 was the most significant event to happen in my lifetime. That episode, coupled with the deeply unethical and corrupt response to it, led to a direct delegitimization of governments and institutions worldwide. It’s precisely this self-inflicted destruction […]
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 1
Expect Desperate and Insane Behavior From Government in 2018 – Part 1 I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — “That government is best which […]
Bitcoin, Terence McKenna and the Future of the Internet
Bitcoin, Terence McKenna and the Future of the Internet We have millions of people who are warehoused in almost a larval state in their apartments, watching tv, paying for their medical plans, and glued to this mindless opera of cultural decay that’s recited day after day in front of them. I mean, it’s horrible to […]
The Future Is What We Make of It – Part 1
The Future Is What We Make of It – Part 1 Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced. … Most of us are about as eager to change as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock. […]
The Generational Wheels Are Turning
The Generational Wheels Are Turning “The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles.” — Oren Harari If you only read my stuff sporadically, you might be surprised to hear that I’m actually quite optimistic about the future. The main reason I compose articles highlighting all the frauds, corruption and absence of ethics […]
Millions Face Starvation in Yemen Due to Saudi Arabia’s Blockade
Millions Face Starvation in Yemen Due to Saudi Arabia’s Blockade Two years ago, German intelligence warned the world of the unique risks Saudi Arabia posed to the region. I covered it at the time in the post, German Intelligence Warns – Saudi Arabia to Play “Destabilizing Role” in the Middle East. Here’s an excerpt: Saudi Arabia […]
Things Are Escalating Quickly
Things Are Escalating Quickly I didn’t spend all week writing about the gigantic tremors occurring in the Middle East because I thought it was fun. If I’m even remotely correct in my analysis, the entire world will be affected and shaped for decades to come by what’s about to go down in the region. Rather […]
The U.S. and Saudi Arabia Are About to Make More Disastrous and Idiotic Mistakes – Part 1
The U.S. and Saudi Arabia Are About to Make More Disastrous and Idiotic Mistakes – Part 1 Many of Donald Trump’s core supporters are not particularly keen on Saudi Arabia, and for very good reasons. Candidate Trump exploited this sentiment on the campaign trail, often tweeting in populist terms when it came to the barbaric […]
Washington D.C. is Swarming With Unaccountable Parasites
Washington D.C. is Swarming With Unaccountable Parasites In theory, Americans should be proud of their national capital and all the important work that gets done there. In theory. In reality, our nation’s capital is an utter cesspool of self-serving, unethical and unaccountable parasites. We all know it and, even worse, it’s probably a hundred times […]
We Live in Revolutionary Times
We Live in Revolutionary Times Pluto takes 248 years to orbit the sun. The most recent, and perhaps most important, network challenge to hierarchy comes with the advent of virtual currencies and payment systems like Bitcoin. Since ancient times, states have reaped considerable benefits from monopolizing or at least regulating the money created within their […]
