THOUGHT CRIME: Police investigating a Christian for his opinions



Thank God the "Conservatives" rule Britain.  Imagine the Hellhole it would be if Leftists ruled.


A Briton has shared troubling footage of police officers and a mental health nurse showing up at his home after he voiced out the need for Christians to take a stand – amid the recent attack on a Sydney bishop.

The Orthodox Christian named Hooper shared three videos of this incident. In the first clip, a female police officer from Hasting Police in East Sussex tells him "people have raised concerns" about his opinions on the April 15 attack on Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. The cleric was attacked by a radical Muslim teen during a church service, but has since recuperated.

"I've got two police officers and a mental health nurse coming to see me because I went to the church and spoke to my local priest about what happened to the bishop in Australia and said, 'Are we Christians supposed to take a stand?'" Hooper said in another clip of the police visit. 

(Related: Radical Muslim STABS Eastern Christian bishop and 3 others during church service in Australia.)

"I'm not calling for violence or anything like that. This is discrimination against Christians right now, because if I was Islamic, and I said anything along those lines – you wouldn't care. You allow hate preachers in this country to preach the killing of homosexuals, and now you're on my door because I'm calling for Christians to take a stand. I'm not calling for violence, just for Christians to take a stand."

Hooper told law enforcement in an exchange captured in the third clip: "This is why I went to see the priest, because of this. We Christians can't even voice an opinion. You can't even have an opinion now without the police turning up. This is a police state."

We Are All Counterfeiters Now



Both Parties Debase the Currency
Handing out "free" Federal goodies requires 
endless money printing by both parties.


  • Gold, once selling for $35 an ounce, is not increasing in value. Gold is effectively holding steady. It is paper money that is losing its value daily.


(Infowars)  If there is one central myth supporting the folly that passes for monetary policy and by extension fiscal policy, it would have to be the unchallenged assumption that money should be defined and controlled by government.

Given the role of money in the economy—that it serves as a trade intermediary, one half of virtually every transaction—nothing has been more destructive to the well-being of most people than the government’s usurpation of money from the market.

Money was once the most marketable commodity, albeit a special commodity. Unlike other commodities such as oil or corn,

gold lasts forever. If someone uses gold, it remains to be used again. . . . If oil production stops, so does our supply of oil. If gold mining stops, we don’t lose our supply. All gold ever mined is still here with us and will stay with us forever.


Endless money printing in Zimbabwe brought hyper-inflation. Pay another 100 Billion and you get two strips of bacon with your eggs.


Today, money is whatever the government says it is, and since 1933 in the US, it has been pieces of paper or their digital substitutes issued by the central bank and its members, the commercial banks.

What’s wrong with having the government or its agent, the central bank, define money and regulate its supply, which in practice means regulating the rate at which the supply is increased?

First, the money is not theirs—it doesn’t belong to the government or the central bank. Banks legitimately get their funds from depositors or investors. Anything they create on their own through fractional-reserve lending is fraudulent because they’re guaranteeing the same dollar to both a borrower and a depositor. Government gets its revenue through the threat of violence (taxes) and cannot rightfully claim ownership of any of it.

Property rights violations notwithstanding, why is this a harmful arrangement economically? Because the government-supported banking system is a counterfeiting racket

The act of counterfeiting money consists of duplicating the legal tender or standard currency and passing it off as legitimate. The counterfeit money does not represent goods or services produced. The subsequent increase in the supply of money puts downward pressure on the purchasing power of the monetary unit so that holders of previously existing money are in effect paying for the counterfeiter’s purchases.

Murray Rothbard discusses the counterfeiting process in his book What Has Government Done to Our Money?:

"The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation."
Ludwig von Mises


Counterfeiting is evidently but another name for inflation—both creating new “money” that is not standard gold or silver, and both functioning similarly. And now we see why governments are inherently inflationary: because inflation is a powerful and subtle means for government acquisition of the public’s resources, a painless and all the more dangerous form of taxation. (emphasis added)

And according to Keynes, not “one man in a million” is able to detect the theft—which apparently includes economists who believe “inflationary monetary policy . . . offsets the cost of those [Great Society] programs.”

Kings of old could debase their coins and pass them off as the real thing, but this was a slow, tedious process that didn’t yield much revenue. Not only that, people grew wise to it and found ways to tell a cheat from a genuine article. And they saw it as a cheat, not as a way of increasing gross domestic product, or making the price of exports more competitive, or stabilizing the price level.

Paper money changed all that.

People deposited their gold and silver in banks for safekeeping, then used the paper claims to the metal as convenient substitutes for money. Bankers soon proved they couldn’t be trusted. When note holders and depositors came running to redeem their rightful claims and the banks proved unable to comply, the government allowed the banks to turn them away empty-handed while remaining in business.

Slamming the doors on legitimate note holders and depositors was embarrassing to the banks, not to mention unprofitable. Thus, in the US the biggest bankers got the government to impose the Federal Reserve on our lives. Economist Joe Salerno describes Rothbard’s view of the Fed as “a cartelizing device that limits entry into and regulates competition within the lucrative fractional-reserve banking industry and stands ready to bail it out, thus guaranteeing its profits and socializing its losses.”

“Socializing its losses”—that’s where we come in.

EPSTEIN SEX SLAVERY - AG Sacked After Lawsuit Filed Against JP Morgan Chase




Bow Down To Your Bankster Overlords
.

U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan (D) terminated Attorney General Denise George on Saturday, just four days after she filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase which alleged facilitation of human trafficking.


(National File)  U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George was terminated on Saturday by Governor Albert Bryan after she filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan on Tuesday which asserted several counts of facilitation of human trafficking in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network.

Gov. Bryan made a statement about the development on Monday. “I relieved Denise George of her duties as attorney general this weekend,” Gov. Bryan said. “I thank her for her service to the people of the territory during the past four years as attorney general and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

“I am not at liberty to discuss details on personnel matters,” Gov. Bryan added.

“The investigation revealed that JP Morgan knowingly, negligently, and unlawfully provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise,” the lawsuit stated.

JP Morgan turned a blind eye to evidence of human trafficking over more than a decade because of Epstein’s own financial footprint, and because of the deals and clients that Epstein brought and promised to the bank,” the lawsuit said.

Handing out "free" Federal goodies requires

It was bad enough when the corrupt Federal Reserve printed Trillions in pretend Monopoly money.  But now the Fed does not even have to print paper money. With the click of a computer mouse, they just add zeroes to bank balance sheets.

Bank failures and hyperinflation are inevitable.

Having a portion of your wealth in "hard assets" is important. The mix of assets can include real estate, land for farming, silver and gold.

Putin embraces Gold - The West embraces Money Printing & Inflation


All the West did in attacking the Russian economy was to bring back the gold standard.

(Zerohedge)  With Russia’s central bank having just profoundly altered the international trade and monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to both gold and commoditiesjournalists in Moscow asked me to write a Q and A article on what these developments mean, and the ramifications of these changes on the Russian ruble, the US dollar, the gold price and the global system of currencies. 

This article has been published on the RT.com website here. 

By offering to buy gold from Russian banks at a fixed price of 5000 rubles per gram, the Bank of Russia has both linked the ruble to gold and, since gold trades in US dollars, set a floor price for the ruble in terms of the US dollar.

Additionally, with the new gold to ruble linkage, if the ruble continues to strengthen (for example due to demand created by obligatory energy payments in rubles), this will also be reflected in a stronger gold price.

Putin embraces Gold - The West embraces Money Printing & Inflation

 


Another Biden Fuck Up
All the West did in attacking the Russian economy was to bring back the gold standard.


(Zerohedge)  With Russia’s central bank having just profoundly altered the international trade and monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to both gold and commoditiesjournalists in Moscow asked me to write a Q and A article on what these developments mean, and the ramifications of these changes on the Russian ruble, the US dollar, the gold price and the global system of currencies. 

This article has been published on the RT.com website here

Since RT.com is now blocked and censored in many Western locations such as the EU, UK, US and Canada, and since many readers may not be able to access the RT.com website (unless using a VPN), my Questions and Answers that are in the new RT.com article are now published here in their entirety.

By offering to buy gold from Russian banks at a fixed price of 5000 rubles per gram, the Bank of Russia has both linked the ruble to gold and, since gold trades in US dollars, set a floor price for the ruble in terms of the US dollar.


Russia Has Zero Bullion in US Vaults, 

“No one can lay hands on our gold.” More . . .


We can see this linkage in action since Friday 25 March when the Bank of Russia made the fixed price announcement. The ruble was trading at around 100 to the US dollar at that time, but has since strengthened and is nearing 80 to the US dollar.

So the ruble now has a floor to the US dollars, in terms of gold. But gold also has a floor, so to speak, because 5000 rubles per gram is 155,500 rubles per troy ounce of gold, and with a RUB / USD floor of about 80, that’s a gold price of around $1940. 

And if the Western paper gold markets of LBMA / COMEX try to drive the US dollar gold price lower, they will have to try to weaken the ruble as well or else the paper manipulations will be out in the open.

Additionally, with the new gold to ruble linkage, if the ruble continues to strengthen (for example due to demand created by obligatory energy payments in rubles), this will also be reflected in a stronger gold price.



What does this mean for Oil?

Russia is the world’s largest natural gas exporter and the world’s third largest oil exporter. We are seeing right now that Putin is demanding that foreign buyers (importers of Russian gas) must pay for this natural gas using rubles. 

This immediately links the price of natural gas to rubles and (because of the fixed link to gold) to the gold price. So Russian natural gas is now linked via the ruble to gold.

The same can now be done with Russian oil. If Russia begins to demand payment for oil exports with rubles, there will be an immediate indirect peg to gold (via the fixed price ruble – gold connection). 

Then Russia could begin accepting gold directly in payment for its oil exports. In fact, this can be applied to any commodities, not just oil and natural gas.


What does this mean for the Price of Gold?

By playing both sides of the equation, i.e. linking the ruble to gold and then linking energy payments to the ruble, the Bank of Russia and the Kremlin are fundamentally altering the entire working assumptions of the global trade system while accelerating change in the global monetary system. 

This wall of buyers in search of physical gold to pay for real commodities could certainly torpedo and blow up the paper gold markets of the LBMA and COMEX.         

The fixed peg between the ruble and gold puts a floor on the RUB / USD rate but also a quasi-floor on the US dollar gold price. But beyond this, the linking of gold to energy payments is the main event. 

While increased demand for rubles should continue to strengthen the RUB / USD rate and show up as a higher gold price, due to the fixed ruble – gold linkage, if Russia begins to accept gold directly as a payment for oil, then this would be a new paradigm shift for the gold price as it would link the oil price directly to the gold price. 

 Other non-Western governments and central banks will therefore be taking a keen interest in Russia linking the ruble to gold and linking commodity export payments to the ruble. In other words, if Russia begins to accept payment for oil in gold, then other countries may feel the need to follow suit.

Newsom Dictatorship Upheld by Democrats



You Must Obey The FĂ¼hrer


An effort by Republican state lawmakers to end Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 state of emergency was blocked in the Democratic-controlled California Legislature on Tuesday.

For more than a year, GOP lawmakers have accused the governor of abusing his executive powers to respond to the crisis and asked legislators to vote to end the emergency in a state Senate committee hearing Tuesday, arguing the declaration was no longer necessary and constituted government overreach.

The Newsom administration has said that the more than 2-year-old state of emergency must stay in place to continue the state’s pandemic response.

State Sen. Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) said that it’s the Legislature’s responsibility as a co-equal branch of government to change the laws and statutes necessary to address the pandemic and that lawmakers have had more than two years to do so. 

Melendez’s resolution failed in the Senate’s governmental operations committee by a 4-8 vote, split along party lines.

Since he declared a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, Newsom has issued 70 executive orders involving the COVID-19 pandemic.

Idaho to be a “Safe Haven” for Bitcoin says GOP candidate



Crypto
The Money of Free Men


(Daily Veracity)  Idaho might soon be known again for mining, only this time in the digital landscape of CryptoCurrency.

A Trump-endorsed candidate for Idaho governor, Janice McGeachin, has declared that once elected she will make Idaho a “safe haven” for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. This comes as looming federal regulations continue to threaten digital tokens worldwide.



The candidate’s announcement immediately gained the attention of prominent cryptocurrency personalities, including Dennis Porter, who shared the news to their large audience of digital currency enthusiasts.

Idaho earned the title of “the gem state” through its rich mineral resources, with silver, gold, and cobalt mines carrying industry through the ages, making the state a rich income and an attractive home for development. Soon, the state might be known for mining once again, only this time in the digital landscape of CryptoCurrency.

Janice, who has earned the unconditional support of President Donald J Trump, is running against the incumbent governor, Brad Little, who’s earned the title of ‘RINO’ for his Republican in Name Only policies regarding lockdowns, masks, and other forms of COVID restrictions.

Like Crypto both gold and silver coins are untraceable. The 1984 Big Brother Elites can't control or track you.

As of today silver is $24.07 per one Troy ounce coin.

Imagine hiring a plumber or auto mechanic and paying him off in 10 or 20 untraceable silver coins. 

With daily use of gold and silver coins a free underground economy would spring up in every city. Free men and women could earn a living and trade metals for goods and services without having to kiss Big Brother's ass.

Venezuelans Turn To Gold Nuggets As The Local Currency Implodes



Strap in and enjoy the inflation 
ride in the U.S.


(Zerohedge)  The Venezuelan government recently lopped off six zeros from its hyperinflating currency, the bolivar. 

The highest denomination currency note of 1 million bolivars, worth less than $0.25, was replaced by a one-bolivar note. At the same time, a 100-bolivar note, worth about $25.00, was introduced as the new highest denomination of the bolivar. 

The currency conversion was designed  to spare the government the embarrassment of having to issue a 100-million bolivar note to enable people to purchases everyday items without having to carry around bundles of notes, given that the price of a loaf of bread had risen to 7 million old bolivars. 

Endless Money Printing
What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, the arbitrary scaling down of the denomination of the currency will not slow inflation, because the new currency notes can be printed just as cheaply as the old. The bolivar has already lost 73 percent of its value in 2021 alone and the IMF estimates the annual inflation rate will reach 5,500 percent by the end of 2021.

It is not surprising, then, that all but the poorest Venezuelans have abandoned the bolivar as a medium of exchange, let alone a store of value or unit of account. US dollars are the exchange medium of choice in Caracas and other large cities, while the Colombian peso dominates along the Colombian border, particularly in the regional city of San Cristobal. The Brazilian real is current along the southern border with Brazil and the euro and cryptocurrencies have also found niche uses.

What is wonderfully surprising is the spontaneous emergence of a pure gold currency in a remote region of southeastern Venezuela around the towns of Tumeremo and El Callao. The region abounds with precious metal ores and has a long history of luring prospectors and miners seeking their fortunes. 

Today, however, many of the larger mines are controlled by the government military, which is battling local gangs and guerillas. 

Despite the violence and lawlessness, jobless Venezuelans from far and wide are flooding into the area to work in thriving illegal mines in exchange for payment in gold nuggets. As a result, gold flakes, which are peeled off raw nuggets with hand tools, have become the currency of choice in the region with prices for commodities and services quoted in grams of gold. 

Half a gold gram buys you a one-night stay in a local hotel, while a meal for two at a Chinese restaurant and a haircut will cost you a quarter of a gram and an eighth of a gram, respectively.


The gold flakes are carried in people’s pockets—usually wrapped in the nearly worthless bolivar notes. While some shops are equipped with scales to weigh the gold flakes, most sellers and their customers have become so familiar with the flakes that they evaluate them by sight. 

For example, the barber and his customer who transacted for the haircut agreed that three gold flakes equaled the one-eighth gram price (approximately $5.00). Gold is also starting to penetrate the nearby cities, such as the regional capital Ciudad Bolivar, as stores in shopping malls gladly accept the gold in exchange for dollars from miners who are seeking to cash out.

For gold to become a full-blown currency that can viably compete with depreciating dollars and other foreign currencies, the raw nuggets need to be minted into convenient shapes and sizes and their weight and fineness certified by reputable firms. This means that any legal barriers to private mints must be eliminated. 

In addition, sales and capital gains taxes on gold must be abolished. Since it is highly unlikely that these measures will be implemented by the Maduro government, we can only cheer on the inroads made by the people’s gold flake currency.
