from a friend: The CrowdStrike outage that resulted in a 10% decline in their stock price today and Biden declaring that he's staying in the race put a cherry on top of what has been the most amazing political week in recent memory.
That bullshit intel report put out by Obama right after Trump was elected was essentially written by CrowdStrike, and U.S. Intel agencies simply put their stamp on it.
CrowdStrike actively participated in kneecapping Trump days after he was elected and before he was inaugurated. The damage they did to Trump poisoned his entire 4-year term.

Anyone else ever get rugged by TheBitcoin Company? Bought a card today for groceries, and they happily took all my sats, but six hours later, still no card, and no reply from their customer service. Usually, I'd expect a failed transaction and a refund, but the sats clearly went through.
reply

It may not be going out on a limb at this point, but I’m making the call on Biden right now.
  1. he spends the weekend at home “resting, recovering, thinking”
  2. returns to White House early next week, Monday or Tuesday
  3. lays low, but before the week’s end, staffers declare a “major announcement” imminent from the president
  4. gives a “Cross Hall” White House announcement something to the effect: “After consulting with my family, and for personal health reasons, we’ve decided it is in everyone’s best interest for me to pass the torch of the Democrat party. I am withdrawing my name as a candidate for the 2024 party nominee.”
  5. turn, walk down the hall, turn right
  6. turn the page; Democrats begin to reminisce the “incredible” job Biden did for America, practically saving the nation from certain ruin, and go “whole hog” on Harris
We’ll see how it plays out.

This last month I've really been wrestling with the idea of starting a territory for Meetups. Trip reports, advertisements, personal connections. Meetups and bitcoiner personal relationships are super important to spur on natural bitcoin use and circular economy, and I think this would have a positive role in that.
Do you think a well-managed territory like that is something you could use? or reference?

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Jen Psaki and other hosts sat in front of a large LED video screen during their coverage of the Republican National Convention (RNC) to give the false impression they were broadcasting live from the event in Milwaukee.
The MSNBC personalities covered the four-day convention from the comfort of their Manhattan headquarters, according to the New York Times.
“If news organizations don’t represent where they are clearly, then how is the audience to have faith and confidence in the actual content of the reporting?” media veteran and former CNN Washington Bureau Chief Frank Sesno told the outlet.
“It can feel like a frivolous thing — oh, well, gee, we’re just using the pictures behind them — but there’s something profoundly important here.”

George Gammon:
The Fed “prints” bank reserves (dollars) Bank reserves dollars can only exist on SELECT BANKS balance sheets The Treasury “prints” treasuries (dollars with a maturity) Treasury dollars can exist on EVERY balance sheet in the world Which is more liquid? Does QE add liquidity?
If treasuries are more liquid, QE CAN’T add liquidity. It removes liquidity and therefore QT would add liquidity. (Especially with Tbills) The opposite of what the Fed wants you to believe.
QE only adds liquidity when the asset being sold to the Fed has to be sold at 100 cents on dollar assuming it’s trading at a discount. IOW, 95% of the time QE reduces liquidity, 5% of the time it adds liquidity. It’s important to know the difference between the 2 QEs

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity.

Administration

Another trick that is played upon an unsuspecting person is through the use of quoting acts, statutes, regulations, legislation etc. within unsigned documentation sent through the post.
What the sender of this deceptive document is trying to achieve is to get the recipient to assume said acts and statutes apply to them, when in fact they do not.
What the unsuspecting recipient is doing by assuming said acts and statutes apply to them, is in fact just accepting the offer to contract.
To combat this ploy ask for the name of the person who is going to administrate the acts and statutes upon you, quoted in the document.
No one will accept liability for this, as you did not give them permission or authority to do so.

HOW TO RESPOND TO CONTEMPT OF COURT WHILE IN THE COURTROOM

If you know the LAW (Common Law) and the history of the evolution of Law in America, you should know by know NEVER to enter a government courtroom. BUT if you should somehow find yourself in a courtroom (perhaps dragged in the police), here is a very useful article. Note: It covers only ONE of the numerous tactics available, but for the Common Law “beginner” it should suffice IF (and that’s a BIG “IF”) you do NOT let the judge and others intimidate you sufficiently to make you “cave in”..
How to Respond to Contempt of Court while in the Courtroom
July 23, 2003
Here it is – everyone should keep this – it could save you – it WORKS, we have used it in court many times and if used properly it will back a raging dragon judge right back down in his chair docile……. believe me it is not easy to do that ….. “KNOW RIGHTS OR NO RIGHTS” – William Mayhar (Salem, Oregon, United States of America) How to Respond to Contempt of Court: Proper Judicial Counter Attack
We cringe for people going into court, dealing with the “sons of vipers, offspring of serpents” in these outlaw courts today. So many people write to us and call us, as they are being rendered in the money machine every day, liquidated to the Funding Streams for the elite. The rendering is in the PROCESS and most people do not have experience to understand or recognize corrupt process when they are in the middle of it.
Attorneys do – they created it and don’t let everyone in on the “secret” (wink, wink) while you and your children are destroyed. To help all the people in courts right now who are discovering Sui Juris Process and going in without attorneys, they need to know what to say when the judge turns into a raging dragon because they dared to ask a question or try to make the Record, and to help keep from being arrested.
These tools in particular are used and shared with many thanks to our friends Milt and Darlene Mitcheck, who were the researchers behind the “Vultures” compilations that exposed the false judicial oaths in Oregon in September A. D. 2001, Research that can be also found at our website http://www.avoiceforchildren.com http://www.avoiceforchildren.com.
If you know the right words, they back down right now – they may still have you arrested, but you have said the right words on the record to discredit him in his contemptuous acts against you, and you will use this record in any appeal or future hearings as you go. The main thing is you can discredit him and impeach him in his own courtroom, if you say the right things. This can be used in any court, in any setting, at any level, all the same basic process. And, I think in any country, with slight variations.
Sui Juris process is simple and common law, as “any reasonable people would understand” and bridges all forms of courts or dealing with public authorities. One of the main TOOLS they use to arrest you in a courtroom is “Contempt of Court“. Contempt is an instant six months in jail or a year jail sentence is what you potentially that face. “Judges” use this for any or no reason, mainly for intimidation, and this is where they will (have already) use a stun belt or gun on a defendant who “irritates” the “judge” by asking for our rights.
When they do this to you, and it happens so fast it makes your head spin, if you have this written down, and can keep your wits about you enough to remember to say it, (you should practice it! It is THAT important!) here is what you say: “Is that Civil Contempt or Criminal Contempt, judge?”
(You wait for a response on the Record! – DO NOT talk until the “judge” answers and if they pause this LONG pause is on the record that he cannot answer you – the silence of a witness answering a question is an Admission of Truth in a court record and the longer the pause the better.
All you want on the record is to make them COMMIT and then you go on, and now you have them caught in the permanent Record)
If he says, “Criminal Contempt”, then you say, “Who is making the Claim? What is the Crime? And, Who is the injured Party?” and again wait as long as it takes for him to say something.
If he says, “Civil Contempt”, then you say, “Where is the Contract between me and you? I don’t agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Contract, judge.” .m, NOW you have him acting CRIMINALLY OUTSIDE OF ANY LAWFUL JURISDICTION AND OUT OF IMMUNITY in his own courtroom on the Record and here’s why. In civil court, EVERYTHING is a CONTRACT and nothing can be done that is not a form of a contract. And ONLY HUMANS CAN LAWFULY CONTRACT. Every citation, money exchange, order, anything at all is an exchange – a contract – between two humans. The Constitution is a Contract with the Children of the Creator with Inherent Rights and the constitutionally Sovereign People in the state, bonded by the Judicial Oath – their contract.
Anyway, when you say to him, “I don’t agree to the terms of the Contract.” he KNOWS he does not have a contract with you and if you have committed no Crime, he has no authority to arrest you or even be conducting the hearing – he is OUT of his lawful jurisdiction and OUT of his IMMUNITY.
Now, if he says “CRIMINAL CONTEMPT“, like one judge did to me, judge Robert Walberg, with no lawful oath by the way, he made a FOOL of himself! He said “IF YOU ASK THAT AGAIN, I AM HOLDING YOU IN CONTEMPT OF COURT” I said “IS THAT CRIMINAL OR CIVIL CONTEMPT WALBERG?” and he raged and said “Criminal!”
I said, “What Crime have I committed and who makes the Claim? Who is the injured Party?” He went nuts and started yelling, “The STATE OF OREGON, the Judicial System, the Court”!! I said, “You know that only a live Party can make a Claim and there is no Crime and no injured Party – you know that the STATE OF OREGON cannot make a Claim.” He backed down and sat there red faced (he had already arrested me about three times for speaking before this contempt attempt) and it shut him down.
This was on the third day of the battle in his courtroom/sham jury trial last January – so after this confrontation backed him down he sat WAY BACK in his chair for three hours and let me make the Record, while the jury waited in the back. MAKING THE RECORD WAS MY ONLY GOAL ANYWAY TO UPDATE THE RECORD IN OUR CASE.
Unfortunately for us, the juries do not understand anything at all, and these confrontations scare them, so all the knowledge of court process and higher law goes right over their heads and they do EXACTLY what the judge LETS them do by the way he manipulates the instructions. This judge held his finger to his upper lip and looked like a cadaver for three hours, listening to the record of the crimes of our evidence against the state and his own treason as I outlined what has happened. That is how you make the Record.
You have to use another legal trick called an “Offer of Proof“. When they fight you and attack you, and rage, and say you can’t say anything in front of the jury, and the D.A. interrupt literally EVERY sentence to stop you from speaking for days (I have gone through this!)… you tell the judge “I am going to make an Offer of Proof for my Appeal“. He sometimes will go in the back room altogether and leave the Record on, or he will sit way back and listen while you make the record of your facts without the jury present.
Another trick legal phrase is: “Offer into Evidence“. They will let you go around for days and be denied because you don’t say it that way ….. they are insane, but if you do use their words they know that they have to acknowledge that this is their process and they use it, so you have to be able to use it too.
Another important legal phrase to use is: Rush to Judgement. After going around with them to a certain point and being blocked at all points, you say, “Are you trying to rush me to judgement?” WOW – it works – boy they sit back so fast and shut up you would not believe – you would think they were shot – supposedly four times in a hearing saying that gets a reversal, but with us they don’t give us anything, so I am not sure. But it is an important TOOL, you say this and it means they are preventing you from putting on your evidence as a lawful court and judicial due process requires, and for you to say this as they are doing it is like shooting them in their chair.
I hope people will write these things down in front of them when they are terrified in court – everyone is terrified in the court, even the attorneys, especially when you are bringing truth of this magnitude in there – we say where the truth meets the lie there is fallout – like a neutron bomb, you definitely stir up the hornets nest when you speak the truth in their courtrooms.
The rest of the Process for the People to access the Courts is in the book we wrote. We learned these tools more recently and they are an “addition” to the information in the Sui Juris Book. This is what REALLY happens when you are in there, not what we think will happen or hope will happen. And learning these tools, you are better prepared to meet this present evil face to face.
If you are not in court, save this information and pass it on to friends who need it.
