Clinton Found A Turkey!

Posted on by

In a clearly US-driven, desperate attempt to create some cover for a badly battered President Bahamas, Turkey uninspiredly decided to involve itself in the US-RU conflict over Syria.

As outright insane as this approach may be, it is perfectly consistent with the US tradition of denial and misrepresentation of failure, a tradition that ensured a century of constant, predictable and egregious failure while effectually preventing any possibility of learning, with the ultimately unsurprising result of ruining that country.

We find (from the Washington Правда) that James Hansen (conspiracist nutjob chiefly famous for going on about "global warming" long before it became the official USG party line) has moved on to playing with the little rocks on President Bahamas' beaches. Continue reading →

From the defunct Bruce Wagner1 Bitcoin podcast2 :

Bruce Wagner : When was the last time you chatted to satoshi
Gavin Andresen: Um… I haven't had email from satoshi in a couple months actually. The last email I sent him I actually told him I was going to talk at the CIA. So it's possible , that…. that may have um had something to with his deciding.

Yes, it is… possible.

After Defeating It In The Bitcoin Market, La Serenissima Bleeds The USG All Over The Dow

Posted on by

Washington, DC had a financial plan to neuter Bitcoin on top of the usual operational plans of infiltration work etc. The way this plan was supposed to unfold ? First the USMS announces an auction for some Bitcoin they've managed to steal from US residents. The supposed auction was supposed to be open. It was also supposed to be won by a designated USG agent, and the price announced should have been significantly under market. Then any and all Bitcoin that could be begged, borrowed or stolen by Washington was going to be dumped on the market through "expert" hands, to a crescendo background of the well publicised wails of the usual suspects. And so Bitcoin was going to crash and burn. Continue reading →
