I added the following removals from my trust:


I just noticed that Trust doesn't display in most of the forums. Apparently only in the altcoin forums?

The visible trust rating (next to the avatar) is affected by the people you trust. And the forum has a list of people who you trust by default. Smoothie is one of them for some reason.

Go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust and add or remove people from the list of the accounts you trust.

Click on "show ratings" under untrusted feedback and you should see a few positive ratings  

Not sure why they aren't showing under your avatar though. Time delay? Mod approval?  

This might explain the issue. Maybe you both are banned from trust system? :

I also gave TBTB - ion.cash positive feedback, because I trust he will deliver the coin with the specs provided.

Very much appreciated. Apologies for the drama. I think it is time for more action and less words.

Btw, I see no Positive trust ratings from anyone on my Trust. Does anyone else see any? What is going on?

Left some positive feedback for him. OTOH; Smoothie as "Doubting Thomas"? Do they have a history together? Well; somebody had to play that role I guess...

I have left a positive score to counter smoothies dickish rating, not sure if it's visible though or needs moderator approval.

And why a negative score was permitted when it was obviously left there for childish reasons.

Anyone who has spent time on this thread knows that ion.cash (tptb_need_war) is an honest and forthright, so maybe we support him with some positive trust.

This young punk Smoothie is on some kind of vendetta against me. That is apparently why he is quoting my posts. As if he thinks I am going to go back and edit them or delete my 100,000 posts in the past years.


I don't know if this is him, his relative, caretaker or what.

Damn straight about the Texas BBQ.  Our fundies are 2000 years ahead of their fundies.

As for Greece, please don't presume to understand socioeconomics if you are nearly entirely unaware of the deep history of silver, triremes, and sovereignty.

Get some John R Hale in your n00b life, and then get back to us Lords of the Sea.   

Whoa Alex, I am also currently besotted by the culinary applications of tuba.  It's like we are tuned into a common cosmic wavelength!  My (retail) bottle is a spicy MSG-laden variety.  It's great, although I envy the those enjoying the homemade stuff.

Nice to hear TPTB is having positive results from fasting.  I hope he gets some (properly manufactured) colloidal silver drops in his gimp eye ASAP.

My coin has a proposed name. Please vote:

I just pm'd you (I'm so beat up from the lab work that I accidentally posted that thing here). *sigh*

I don't know what is going on with me. My M.S. symptoms basically disappeared entirely after drinking some concoction that ended up being a mistake. Bless her heart, my gf faithfully measured out the 60 ml of "sugar" to make our first 1 liter batch of Kombucha tea last week. I let it sit to "ferment" for 2 days, then I tried it and it tasted slightly vinegary, slightly like tea and extremely salty. I was in such a mental fog, it didn't occur to me that she had measured salt instead of "sugar". I proceeded to drink it and got some effects which felt sort of like being mildly drunk. I also got pains in my disgestive tract. But then my M.S. symptoms disappeared. Instead I got severe edema in my feet and lower leg, which I realize probably isn't an M.S. effect but rather due to excessive consumption of salt. These extremely swollen feet were the first symptoms I had back in 2009/2010 which first indicated to me that I had a serious chronic illness.

We killed the SCOBY, so have to order a new one to make Kombucha tea. I am in limbo on that at the moment.

I don't know if that concoction had any remaining yeast and/or bacteria in it. Perhaps it was the vinegar and salt which did something magical to my digestive tract. I also don't know if this is permanent. Also I did a few other things right at that time too. One I am eating drastically more vegetables than I did pre-fasting. These are cooked with loads and loads of fresh garlic and onions. And I am adding a table spoon of cayenne pepper to every meal. I can feel my urethra burn when I pee. Also I broke down and am eating a very slight amount of meat, bread, and butter, which don't seem to help other than I gain back some weight. I also add almost exclusively chicken livers for 2 days of that, which are very high in zinc.

I had become more convinced lately that my M.S. was due to gut dysbiosys. I know that my shit all came from taking antiobiotics too many times, eating food that always has MSG and sugar, and having no access to hot sauce. This was my predicament in the Philippines the decade leading up to recently (not any more!).

I was about ready to do a self-administered fecal transplant, when I suddenly had this outcome above.

The following image to me confirms the long-standing reoccurring pain and yellowing in the abdomen can be due to dysbiosis in my upper colon. Yellowing is a bruising effect from dying tissue that is leaking in the abdomen.

Bzzzt!  Someone else has a message in case you do not notice incoming PMs like happens to me sometimes...

One response that seems to parallel others here at Economic Totalitarianism is to just not play "their game".  Many spiritual people already seem to be there, at least what I am seeing here.

Spiritual Peace is something rather new for me (as hinted at above).  But, I worry LESS about money now.  And what people think about me.  

Yet, I wish everyone peace and happiness!  Weird, I know.

"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas."

...

One of you readers (NOT vokain nor rpietila) has a message!  In response to yours.  The little marker noting an incoming at "My Messages" is pretty subtle, so I alert you to it, "just in case" you don't see it (I sometimes do not notice when I get a PM).

Zero Hedge has ANOTHER thread on the war on cash just now (Sunday afternoon US ET).

Bill Bonner offers up a LONG video (promotional to a degree of course) re what happens when the CA$H runs out and the credit system fails.

http://usadownfall.com

TL;DL(isten)...: Yuck!

At this point, IMO, we can drop the back & forth re Christianity, it looks like no one's minds will be changed today or tomorrow.  They say "never discuss religion or politics at dinner parties" for a reason...

and peace

vokain, I think you will really like the book.  It was a game-changer for me, it was sent to me by a fellow recovering AA, a guy I don't even know (an "internet friend", I have a few, maybe soon you will be too).  That book was the forerunner of the book now used in AA.  Emmet Fox has a totally different take on, well, everything.  At least as far as I can tell, only having known relatively superficial amounts about Christian thought earlier.

rpietila, you already seem "there" so maybe the book (The Sermon on the Mount) may not be necessary for you, but it sure helped ME a lot.  A life saver.

Back on track here re Economic Totalitarianism, there was this great (but ominous) thread from Zero Hedge this morning that I want to re-read about a cashless society.

Our old friend Blythe Masters "quiere meterse en" (put herself at the node of) the new cashless society, based on blockchain-type technology.  Getting rid of CA$H would be very, very bad in my view.  We would be tracked, but the "wrong TPTB" would probably have some kind of loophole keeping their own wealth and transactions secret.  Link:

Who knows how the future will go?



But (directed to vokain and/or rpietila), Emmet Fox wrote that "The Captain is on the Bridge", and that all will work out OK.  I can send you a reference to this (and other daily thoughts of Fox, a most excellent other book, by PM if you like).

I worked with a Jesus once. his brother was named Caesar.
