The mere suggestion alone of this method is an attempt to cast suspicion on the ruskies in an effort to convince those with half a brain but the troubling part is that there is now a very strong narrative among some mainstream shills(insiders who are on the bankster's et al payroll) in the media to start a conflict by churning out blatant propaganda to the ignorant masses in an effort to justify their actions.Once the uneducated or indifferent by choice masses are steered in the wrong direction they can guide them to the black hole where as the world crumbles they see nothing only their happy thoughts just before the lights go out.For those who number the sands of the sea the idea of objective or rational thought is too great an effort or just too painful and the idea of stepping outside of the group think process and standing out from the herd fills them with an overwhelming fear of rejection from their peers and overlords.The subservient herd is too cowardly to be individual in case they stand out so it is safer for them(if you can't beat them then join them)to hide behind the bully who will protect them if they win his favour.It is easier for them kiss the bully's ass and pander to his will than stand up for themselves or those who refuse to submit and live on their knees.The herd would even turn on themselves in order to please their master.

*puts on tinfoil hat* Will (((They))) sacrifice the old witch in order to steal the election from Trump and start war with Russia ? : https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/09/12/the-man-who-discovered-cte-thinks-hillary-clinton-may-have-been-poisoned/

That Washington Post article indicates to me that they are potentially planning to blame Putin and/or Trump for poisoning Hellary, as another excuse to never allow Trump to carry out his plans to take back the USA from banksters.

And I wouldn't put it past the banksters to have been the ones who poisoned Hellary to give her Parkinsons.

We headed into a Tribulations.

Looks like 2017 will finally the big turn into the abyss. 2015.75 was just the turning of the boat towards the abyss.

What is so bad about that particular implementation? At least it stops the waste caused by plastic.


I remember 20 years ago all bottles were made out of glass and plates made out of ceramics. It was pretty much sterile, and easily recyclable.

Now you have all these plastic spoons and garbage metalic soda cans that who knows what kind of metals have in them.


I think the plastic/metalic cases should be less priotitized and we should go back to glass. We have whole deserts at our disposal, it has to be the most efficient object, to make glass.

Mainstream media is already dead, I don't know anyone who actually trusts it, most people just use it to zonk out of their over regulated wage slave lives for a few hours each day  Cheesy

Get rid of her get rid of her? Hmm, if anything I'd guess she is too powerful for that to happen. No doubt she is crook, but more likely they are just downplaying as it makes her look weak. But if she gets boned, that would really only leave Biden to step in. And I'm not sure the old 'red under the bed' Evil Russia has the same pull anymore, enough to stop Trump. Although they're giving it good crack. Russia is now a much smaller player in global affairs, although the US can play on history. The big 2 are the US and China.

This is the next theatre of aggression: South China Sea, shipping lanes, food stocks, financial control, SDR's.

The aim of QE is to promote spending and beat deflation (hence create inflation), so any country holding or owed US dollars knows it is being ripped off. No 1 holder of US Treasuries - China. Developing nations know that the US will rule roughshod over them and try to corral the world into obedience under threat of financial doom. This is partly why the new SDR weighting, voting %'s, the AIB, OBOR etc are important. Then you have relations between Asian countries, like Japan, who are at the forefront of batshit crazy policy. The BoJ, Japanese Gov and other groups are fractured and are watching their country slide; politically they need to look after domestic matters and that might mean screwing the rest of the world in regards to rates etc.

'Blame Russia' has been so dependable for so long it gets trotted out more and more often as the Dems start to buckle. Logically, it doesn't make much sense - any hint of proof of foreign poisoning of a US candidate starts a war and would probably result in a pro Dem swing.

If anything comes out of this, I hope it is the disintegration of the mass media; a festering cesspool of corporate interests, bad hairdos and soft scribes unwilling to rock the boat.

Well, I agree.  Barring a major disruption or event ("Trump consorts with the Mafia!!", etc.), yes, the election is likely over.

The sheer desperation of the Democrats and their MSM sycophants shows they are extremely worried.  Likely they will not capture the Senate either.  Hillary poisoned by Trump & Putin..., please.

The anti-cash ideas of Rogoff and Buiter "are now the foundation for the new age of Economic Totalitarianism that confronts us," foreign-exchange analyst and blogger Martin Armstrong wrote last year.

There will be less cash usage in the future.  I heard the Sweden will be a cashless society. The Chinese government is developing the digital coins.

...

A great article (split into four parts because it is LONG) about the war on cash:

https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2016/09/negative-interest-rates-and-the-war-on-cash-1/

Nicole Foss covers just about all the bases in this one.  There are ways to escape, at least in part, but you have to think and and work at it.

Negative rates (NIRP) has lots and lots of unforeseen side-effects...

This article confirms my viewpoint that all digital currencies will follow the Ted Kaczynski model of technology always being a detriment to human liberty and freedom:

http://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-01/on-digital-currencies-central-banks-should-lead

They're spelling it out now in non-ambiguous terms that digital currency is just going to be gateway for things like a ban on cash, increased Keynesianism, NIRP, more taxation, etc.  In other words, no matter how it starts out, and might be beneficial in the near term, in the end game you will always be receiving a net loss.  Even with things like Monero, they will just force you to use a fixed address alias system for transactions to bypass the Monero mixer, otherwise you'll be considered a money launderer.  There is really no such thing as "fungible" digital currency as long as governments exist.

Disagree.

That article exemplifies to me how little the PBOC understands about this phenomenon. It shows they are far behind and are likely to get their butts kicked by crypto-currency and blockchains.

They can't take the lead and control, because it is a global phenomenon and they only control their own nation, and with VPNs, Tor, etc, they don't even control their own nation.

Providing a stable value and control over the money supply are not the point of crypto-currencies and blockchains. They entirely don't understand the phenomenon. I told you all upthread that the store-of-value function is not the killer app.

We are only waiting on the blockchain which onboards the masses with popular activities.

It will be very difficult to ban a popular activity which is deemed by the mainstream to be harmless and advancing technology, and to enforce taxation+KYC on zillions of microtransactions.

Edit: I continue to maintain my belief that Bitcoin was primarily driven by tinfoil hats and thus Bitcoin is not the killer app of blockchains:

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@michaelmatthews/how-i-got-into-bitcoin


I too have serious doubts about China.  My best guess is that China will implode at least as much as the USA, say in the next 5 years or so (hey I don't know when).

Millions of small transactions will indeed be hard to trace, even harder to tax.

*   *   *

I too had to learn about Bitcoin myself, as no one I know is into it.  I got some help (and my first "Bitnickle") from a guy at ZH.

It may be that it takes a certain mindset to deal with BTC that totalitarians may not grasp as well.  But, the .govs are always full of tough-minded & power-hungry sorts who delight in oppressing their populations and anyone opposed to them.

Milosevic finally exonerated.

https://consortiumnews.com/2016/08/24/the-bogus-humanitarian-war-on-serbia/
"It was blatantly ideological; at a notorious "peace conference" in Rambouillet in France, Milosevic was confronted by Madeleine Albright, the U.S. Secretary of State, who was to achieve infamy with her remark that the deaths of half a million Iraqi children were "worth it." Albright delivered an "offer" to Milosevic that no national leader could accept. Unless he agreed to the foreign military occupation of his country, with the occupying forces "outside the legal process," and to the imposition of a neo-liberal "free market," Serbia would be bombed. This was contained in an "Appendix B," which the media failed to read or suppressed. The aim was to crush Europe's last independent "socialist" state."
"The final count of the dead in Kosovo was 2,788. This included combatants on both sides and Serbs and Roma murdered by the pro-NATO Kosovo Liberation Front. There was no genocide. The NATO attack was both a fraud and a war crime."
"At the height of the bombing, the BBC's Kirsty Wark interviewed General Wesley Clark, the NATO commander. The Serbian city of Nis had just been sprayed with American cluster bombs, killing women, old people and children in an open market and a hospital. Wark asked not a single question about this, or about any other civilian deaths."
"Milosevic died of a heart attack in 2006, alone in his cell in The Hague, during what amounted to a bogus trial by an American-invented "international tribunal." Denied heart surgery that might have saved his life, his condition worsened and was monitored and kept secret by U.S. officials, as WikiLeaks has since revealed."
"The exoneration of a man accused of the worst of crimes, genocide, made no headlines. Neither the BBC nor CNN covered it. The Guardian allowed a brief commentary. Such a rare official admission was buried or suppressed, understandably. It would explain too much about how the rulers of the world rule."

Just to seek a second opinion:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lormand/agenda/9905/16.pdf
"The Rambouillet Accord : A Declaration of War Disguised as a Peace Agreement"
"A 28,000 strong NATO occupation army, known as KFOR, would be authorised to "use necessary force to ensure compliance with the Accords".
"Kosovo has vast mineral resources, including he richest mines for lead, molybendum, mercury and other metals, in all of Europe."

With this kind of ruthlessness, when they are hunting for cash under your sofa, or down the back of your cushions,
even the cash in your child's piggy-bank will be a target.   

Another look at this, with background
