The American middle class was built on the mortgage. Borrow at 3%. 30 years. Fixed rate. Invest in your business with the money not spent on your house for a 5% down payment. All while your mortgage eroded to inflation. As long as your profit > the cost of your mortgage, you built wealth. But mortgage laws changed after 2008. After 2008, you need a huge down payment or high W2 income to get the same mortgage. The loan didn’t change, but the ecosystem did. We priced out the middle class American from wealth building. But now? Mortgage laws are changing. Starting with bitcoin acceptance. Next comes Fannie and Freddie going public. This is how we rebuild America. From the middle class out. Powered by bitcoin.

@BitcoinArchive The mortgage was the vehicle by which the American middle class built its wealth. It shall be so once again.

Right… to buy oil from whom? With what currency? The Yuan? No. Importer The Pound? No. Importer The Euro? Hell to the no. importer The Yen? No Importer The Ruble? Been an option for four years…. Market said no. Exporter The Rupee? No. importer The SAR, other gulf states? Same as the USD , pegged. FFS, life ain’t a spreadsheet.

Until you realize that there is more than one “Iran” you will find slop like this from a guy who is supposed to understand these things compelling.

@MarylandHODL21 🎯 Central banking is a technology designed by and for an imperial control system

“The City of London” = Financialist, the European Central Banking Cartel, and old European banking families. Central banking is an Industrial era technology… a form of financial imperialism… designed to concentrate monetary control, shape credit creation, guide and issue insurance, and extend influence across nations through debt, currency systems, and capital flows, while historically keeping the center of gravity anchored in Europe. youtu.be/rGKhRObDRdA?si…

Trump is NOT escalating this into a major ground war. Let me spell this out with crayons. I’m a US Merchant Marine Captain, O6 (not O3) equivalent. We are a tiny forgotten service with one MF overarching specialty: moving escalatory armies overseas. It’s true a general like McChrystal has far more knowledge about what to do AFTER his tanks roll off our ships. But BEFORE those tanks roll off? They are OUR cargo. We are the specialists. We climb all around those tanks. We secure them, move them, deliver them. Our Commandant, who I talk to every single week, is in charge of that lift. Not whatever general is waiting on the pier. Right now we are in the BEFORE stage. I absolutely 💯 know more about this than any general because I have spent decades training and living the life for THIS MOMENT. When generals want to move escalatory army divisions overseas, they call us. We don’t specialize in every branch. Naval, Air Force, USMC, Special Forces movements have their own lift pipelines. We can help, but that’s not our core mission. But if you want to escalate a war with heavy ground forces? I get a call. The Air Force has already called us to move more bombs into theater. So yes, the air campaign can escalate. But there are ZERO plans to escalate this into a large scale ground invasion. ZERO. This cannot be done by airlift. The USAF can’t even get their own bombs overseas right now, let alone divisions of army units. And if I do get the call, it will be months before we are landing tanks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So I repeat… this CAN NOT turn into a major war without my phone ringing. You can send Marines and air assault units without tanks to do raids but a major landing force like McChrystal is talking about just is not happening. Not yet. Not for months, if ever. And when it does happen I will tell you because you can’t move Army divisions in secret. Not since the Army, in a moment of idiocy, sold off its Merchant Marine preposition fleet last year.

@johnkonrad @TFL1728 @IMOHQ Such a big part of the story most missed. It wasn’t Iranian missiles or mines closing the Strait. It was insurance being pulled. Thanks for your work, fantastic as always.

Actually, in my OP I said it’s down the river from MI6… but still I’m happy this information is finally getting out. That said don’t forget the United Nations maritime building @IMOHQ a few doors down from MI6 on that river… they are a key component of this too!

@timevalueofbtc A GENIUS act, indeed

this is a GENIUS move

People are selling gold because of a liquidity crisis not because inflation is going to go down
