Why Richard Greaser Is The World's Second Most Important Journalist | Late Friday Night Musings Stacker News Special 

So a lot of people ask me why I'm the world's second most important journalist instead of the first. The reason is because Jullian Assange is easily the most important journalist alive today without a doubt. His work at Wiki Leaks may go down in history as the most important journalistic moment in human history, despite how many times Gary Kasperov will say Assange was a Russian asset. 

The timing of Wiki Leaks publishing while Bitcoin was so young, and being one of the first media companies to use Bitcoin as a result of financial censorship is truly incredible. There is a reason that he is being publicly tortured in front of the world right now. To claim I am more important than Jullian would be blasphemous. 

But now I must humbly explain why I am the second most important journalist. Richard Greaser is the second most important because of the amount of cigarettes I consume on a daily basis, and because I write exclusively using a type writer. Both of these things allow me to keep my integrity as a newsman as I am not infected by the fiat CIA controlled social media platforms. All technology is insecure, but typewriters writing analogue letters (I know you kids don't know what I'm talking about) exchanged through non CIA controlled bird drones, allows us real journalists to communicate truly privately with each other. 

This level of privacy allows for superior investigative journalism to happen without interference from the globalists and shitcoiners. I'm surprised that it's not a more common practice as it seems like everyone is set on trying to communicate via internet connected devices. 

Given my higher level of knowledge and superior communication channels, I am the only journalist in my elevated milieu that is covering Bitcoin related topics. Bitcoin by default is the most interesting thing happening in the world, and I am the only one of the superior journalistic class that is covering it. Many will wonder what it takes to become one of my status. 

It's not that difficult. To become a journalist like me, all you have to do is reclaim your mind from the CIA brainwashing, smoke a bunch of Marlboro Reds, post profound thoughts on Stacker News way too late at night, and buy a damn typewriter.

## I did not come to call the righteous, but rather sinners, to repentance. 


 Luke 5:32



**PRAYER OF THE DAY - Luke 5:32**


 Beloved Creator, God of mercy and compassion, we unite before You on this new day with gratitude in our hearts.  We recognize that we are all sinners in need of Your grace and forgiveness.  Just as the Lord Jesus came to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance, we turn to You in humility, seeking Your guidance and love.


 Grant us, Lord, the wisdom to recognize our faults and the strength to sincerely repent.  Help us follow in the footsteps of Jesus, welcoming those who are lost and in need, demonstrating Your love and compassion in all our interactions.


 May we be instruments of reconciliation and peace in this world, sharing Your message of hope and redemption with all we meet.  Enable us to love as You love and to forgive as You forgive, even when it is difficult.


 Lord, guide us on this day, protect us from all evil and fill us with Your Holy Spirit, so that we can live according to Your teachings and glorify Your name in everything we do.


 In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. 


 Amen.


 Luke 5:32 says, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."  These are Jesus' words, which emphasize His mission to seek and save those who are lost, those who recognize their need for repentance and transformation.  This passage reminds us of the compassion and mercy of Jesus, who welcomes sinners with love, offering them the opportunity for reconciliation with God.  It is an invitation for all of us to recognize our own need for repentance and to draw closer to God in humility and faith.

**PRAYER OF THE DAY - Mark 9:23**

 Dear God, as we begin this new day, we gather in a spirit of gratitude and hope, seeking Your presence in our lives.  You are the God of the impossible, and we trust You to guide and strengthen us in every step we take.

 Today, we remember Jesus' words in Mark 9:23: 'All things are possible to him who believes.'  Grant us, Lord, the faith necessary to believe in Your power and Your goodness.  Help us face the challenges of this day with the certainty that, with faith, we can overcome any obstacle.

 Lord, enlighten our hearts and minds so that we can see beyond immediate difficulties and recognize Your loving hand in all circumstances.  May we live this day with the confidence that You are with us, guiding us and sustaining us.

 Give us the strength to believe in our own ability to do good, to love unconditionally, and to act with compassion and justice.  May our actions reflect the faith we profess and may we be instruments of Your peace and love in the world.

 On this day, we ask that you renew our hope and our courage.  May we face challenges with serenity and joy, knowing that You are our refuge and strength.  Grant us the peace that comes from the certainty that we are in Your hands.

 May we be a light to others, showing through our lives the transformative power of faith.  Help us to support and encourage those who are struggling, reminding them that, with faith, nothing is impossible.

 In the name of all that is holy and righteous, we pray. 

 Amen.


 The passage from Mark 9:23, where Jesus says "All things are possible to him who believes", is a powerful affirmation of the strength of faith.  In this scene, a desperate father asks Jesus to heal his son possessed by an evil spirit.  Jesus responds by emphasizing the importance of faith.  This verse teaches us that faith is a channel through which divine power can work in our lives.  He encourages us to trust God and believe that, regardless of the circumstances, with faith, we can overcome challenges and see miracles happen.  It is a call to unshakable trust in God, reminding us that our human limitations do not restrict God's unlimited power.

We had a couple of good resource guides, and then, it seems, nothing. Is the XMR community just not interested in using this site?

I think a big possibility for why we haven't seen any activity here since the first day is the significant cost to posting. 420 sats for a group of people that probably don't keep a sizeable lightning balance is quite steep. 

Is this territory DoA?

 In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Intercessor, we pray. 

 Amen.

Fill our hearts with hope and strengthen our spirit, so that we can face today's challenges with courage and faith.

Thanks Pipplellia from @geyserfund for encouraging me to do this. 


**[An official name for this network will come in time](https://geyser.fund/project/herschelsterling). That's a link to the geyser fund site.**


I'm seeking 3-5 independent podcasters with similar points of view, *across a range of podcast subjects and styles*, to build a support network with me. This is a plan that will be duplicable.  Other small groups can use similar methods and expand on them to form a loose affiliation.

I'm building my podcast without any YouTube or social media. It's a challenge, and I think people can understand it even if they don't want to go through the hassle of it. There's power in numbers. A small cadre of podcast addicts can make a dent. 

I have learned a lot in the one month that I've been doing these, and my trajectory is upward. 3-5 of us could do a lot. I went from 18 total downloads and video views my first week, to over 1200 after my fourth week.  I did that without BlewitTube or panic-trauma social media.  (Work!)

I want to prove this can be done. I want to boycott those outfits as much as possible until they become honest organizations regarding the reasons for their censorship.

We should always [know what we don't want](https://shows.acast.com/herschel-sterling/episodes/contract-negotiation-do-we-know-what-we-dont-want) 

BELIEVE IN US, and I'm saying that as only a me at this time.

[This is a download link to a relatable podcast](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/657b585ce56a640017584a9e/e/65a9705fe7c4ed001635a477/media.mp3)

[This is a player link to same podcast](https://open.substack.com/pub/commercialherschel/p/central-currency-oxymoron-economy-each-for-all?r=i0uk1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web)

Why do this? Because it's possible for adults to engage in freedom of speech and association to discuss anything—any health issues, any financial issues, issues of import across a range of topics—without the threat of censorship and de-banking. It's sad that this is the route people have to take. 

Nothing but respect to the battlers out there taking on those companies. We will stay abreast of your efforts and please support us too.

I feel most people are unhappy, generally with their life. I attribute the root problem to the central banks printing money and diluting every persons ability to save. 

I think the goal is freedom, but most don’t understand what that is exactly and how to get there. 

Beating monetary inflation every year, not having to work for a paycheck.

I'm always curious about how the BTUs break down for for instance if you can convert a barrel of oil into Workman hours then convert those Workman hours into BTU then in between that figure out the time value and apply all that to the calculation of one sast.... Is there anybody out there doing time chain artwork meaning trying to physically represent the time chain in art. 

I know we're pretty early but if it does what we think it's going to do is anybody starting a church currently I take all this extremely serious

BTU conversions into Sats, time chain art, curch

 **PRAYER OF THE DAY - Matthew 4:17**

 Dear God, Creator of all things, on this new day we turn to You in humility and gratitude.  As You taught us in Matthew 4:17, we recognize the importance of repenting of our wrong ways and turning to You for guidance and redemption.
