Yeah, sorry if I came across as combative, was trying to agree with you 😇
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States….
The article claims that this only means children of diplomats are excluded, but the text is not obviously clear that that is the only exclusion.
You cannot interpret the words without the full context of the debates surrounding them.
And this is exactly how you make the determination on the meaning of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
There’s some stuff on X about it. Saying it’s much cheaper than ChatGPT, and also much less censored/lobotamized.
I’m going to have to agree: we’ll have to wait and see.
Of course, a tether or another stabletoken (or PBDC), with full capture, would be just as bad as a CBDC.
Also, as an EO, the next president can just reverse it
Here's the recent history:
December 31: FinCEN Asks SCOTUS for Stay
I don't have a problem with any of the activities apart from paying for a hit on someone. It's hard to know whether that's real without spending more time digging into this than I want to.
I know you don't want to spend time digging, but this is what I have learned in digging:
- Ross was charged, but never tried or convicted of the contract murder charge.
- The charge was dismissed with prejudice.
- The primary source of evidence against Ross on the contract killing charge were the two federal agents who later were discovered to have stolen millions in bitcoin from Silk Road. Those agents were tried and convicted of this theft and are serving time.
- The Silk Road member who was allegedly targeted by Ross does not believe it happened, or that if it did, Ross didn't do it.
For me, point #3 is sufficiently compelling to doubt it was real.
Wow, that was amazing. I was in the room for that, and had the advantage of seeing the body language & facial expressions.
Custodia’s attorney was masterful, and made the Fed’s attorneys look unprepared—especially the first one.
The “pound sand” line was great, as was the fact that Judge Rossman picked up on the Fed changing the rules on Custodia while their application was in process.
There was a ton of technical discussion on mandamus, which was not really necessary since the parties basically agreed on those points.
Overall, it seemed more positive for Custodia than the Fed.
Of course. Vassels, citizens, and serfs all exist at the pleasure of a sovereign.
But other sovereigns exist at the sufferance of other sovereigns.
Meaning that two sovereigns only exist to the extent that there is no reason or ability for one to subsume the other.
At this point, it is potentially reasonable to say that the only true sovereigns on Earth are the nuclear armed nations, as they are the only ones that potentially can absolutely resist the other nuclear sovereigns (through MAD).
If you’re not armed with nuclear weapons, then you only exist at the pleasure of one or more nuclear sovereigns, so you’re merely a vessel.
Ukraine, for instance, is only really able to resist Russia because Russia cannot bring nuclear might to bear, since different nuclear sovereigns would be annoyed. So, practically, Ukraine only now exists at the pleasure of the USA.
