I am probably the most h**ed person on OPP. I'm okay with that. What I'm not okay with is Rinaldi and Airforceone's screeds and attack posts.

Airforceone, I have called you out for harassing Proud Republican. I will always call you out for hassling Proud Republican. You seem to get off on being an asswhole. Your jig is up. I am pretty far left, so I am your own kind. Just stop.

Rinaldi, you are a whole other thing. You are an embarrassment to the left. Your over developed ego thinks it's okay to be on the ground level with your (lack of) sensible rhetoric. You need to find another group to follow. The jig is up for you, too. If you don't stop harassing Blade_Runner (for one), I will give you the biggest ass wiping of your life.

Shut up and go away. I'm serious.

The USA is the lost ten tribed northern kingdom of the House of Israel. The USA is called the "breadbasket" of the world. Isaiah 36:17. "Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards". We are the children of Joseph, and we were never Jewish. He was a colonizing people. Genesis 49:22-26. "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well, whose branches run over the wall...but his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Hosea 10 is about Trump and it is being fulfilled. Hosea 10:2-4. "Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. For now they shall say, we have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us? They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock, in the furrows of the field". Trump is a liar. Hosea 10:13. "Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men". Eliyahu ha navi says he wants Trump dead and I think he's going to get his wish. Hosea 10:15. "...in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off". God is going to k**l him. Trump has a very large, organized and dev**ed cult following. It's the wicked pagan Republicans versus the righteous moral Democrats. Rape and/or sexual assault is one of the seven deadly sins and it cannot be forgiven. Trump and his minions believe he is the second Messiah/Jesus. Zechariah 4:14. King Charles is sitting on the throne of David. He was c****ated on the "Stone of Destiny". It is Jacob's pillar stone and he was anionted with holy oil from Jerusalem. VWD Day is the first of three judgments of God. It stands for Vengeance, Wrath, and Destruction. All the Messiah's enemies will be cut off by fire. Psalm 37:20, Psalm 97:3.

A few days ago, I wrote a post about FEDNOW, which is the FED's first attempt at introducing a Central Bank Digital Currency beginning this July. Greg Reese does a nice job of explaining that in the link at the bottom.

When Bitcoin was first introduced, there was a lot of speculation that it's creation was tied back into the intelligence agencies. To the best of my knowledge, Bitcoin's supposed creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has never been publically seen or identified. Who are the largest holders of Bitcoin, the rich, or the creators of the cryptocurrency, who have held onto the supply of coins, and fueled the hyper increase in Bitcoin price appreciation.

The primary benefits of Bitcoin were touted as "Freedom", "T***sparency", "Anonymity", and "Real Money" that was immune to the inflationary US Dollar.

Now, if you were an evil, G*******t, Master of the Universe, Behind the Curtain..... well you get the picture, and you wanted to get absolute, and ultimate control of the country's money supply (for absolute and total control over the country's population), what would you do?

If you came out in the open with your CBDC, you could rightfully expect quite a bit of pushback from the gold bugs, the libertarians of the world, and a whole bunch of others that would see the dangers, and motivation behind such an effort.

So, how do you craftily introduce such a product, and get those same groups that would oppose a CBDC, to become desensitized to the idea of a "Cryptocurrency"? Voila..... BITCOIN

You would get the same groups that would normally oppose a cryptocurrency, to actually embrace it, on the grounds that it represented freedom, anonymity, and a way to avoid the effects of inflation on the endless supply of dollars being created by the FED, and spent by the US Government.

But, and here comes the sneaky part. Once your creation achieved a large enough economy of scale and acceptance, you would need to find a way to t***sition from cryptocurrency (Bitcoin et al), into your CBDC.

And now comes the easy part. You get the various elements of government to begin it's purge of the various components of the crypto community that make it work.

You could, for example, find a way to close down the banks that cater to the bitcoin exchanges. Furthermore, you could get the SEC to begin it's crackdown on the largest crypto exchanges, just as you are about to introduce your CBDC.

But that's all conspiracy theory. Our government would never do that.
