Homeschool your children and let them read ALL ("banned") books.

What China just did with the blocking statutes against U.S. extraterritorial sanctions sets quite a major precedent, probably the financial equivalent of what happened with rare earths last year (in the sense that this is China taking a major step to push back against a U.S. hostile measure as opposed to taking it on the chin). It's a little complex but, to start with, what many people ignore (and will probably be surprised by) is that - by and large - Chinese companies and financial institutions have largely complied with extraterritorial U.S. sanctions. Anecdotal story on this: I know for a fact, because I personally know the person, that a very famous guy (whose name I won't reveal but that everyone of you would know) sanctioned by the U.S. was in China recently and tried to exchange money at the counter of a random Chinese bank. Just simply exchange dollars for a Chinese yuan, in mainland China. And he was refused, because he is sanctioned by the U.S. - despite the fact that China as a country has absolutely no problem with the person. This goes to illustrate just how much goodwill China extended to the U.S. on this - a Chinese bank, in China, refusing to serve someone China has no problem with, just to comply with U.S. extraterritorial sanctions. It also goes to illustrate why this blocking order marks such a sharp departure. What triggered it is not new sanctions by the U.S. but recent efforts under the so-called "Operation Economic Fury" to dramatically ramp up enforcement of existing sanctions on Iran. The U.S. notably issued at the end of April alerts to financial institutions worldwide - including in China - on "the sanctions risks associated with independent 'teapot' oil refineries in China, primarily in Shandong Province, given their continued role in importing and refining Iranian crude oil" (home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…) Even more importantly, they also specifically went after Hengli Petrochemical Dalian (home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…), one of China's largest private refineries, with 400,000 barrels per day capacity and a parent company (the Hengli Group) that's a Fortune Global 500 company. In effect, what the U.S. extraterritorial sanctions mean is that Hengli - and all other Chinese 'teapot' oil refineries being targeted - is cut off from the dollar system, and any bank, insurer, or trading partner anywhere in the world - including in China - that deals with them risks being cut off too. Which is obviously a major hostile move by the U.S. against China (and, of course, Iran). Except that China, this time around, is not having it. Since 2021 they've had regulations ("Measures to prevent the improper extraterritorial application of foreign laws and measures", mofcom.gov.cn/zcfb/zhzc/art/…) that gives the Chinese government power to formally prohibit compliance with foreign sanctions, and that, since this April (morganlewis.com/pubs/2026/04/c…) are also extraterritorial in nature. In effect what these regulations - and their April addendum - say is that if you comply with U.S. extraterritorial sanctions by cutting off a Chinese company, you are violating Chinese law. Any entity - Chinese or foreign - that refuses to deal with a sanctioned Chinese company because Washington told them to can be sued in Chinese courts, fined by MOFCOM, and since April, placed on a 'Malicious Entity List' with asset freezes and trade restrictions. In a nutshell on one side you have the U.S. saying "cut them off or we cut you off" and now China says "well, if you do cut us off we're going to be real nasty with you, in China and potentially beyond." These regulations were - until yesterday - purely theoretical: they've never actually been applied. But, yesterday, China's MOFCOM made it crystal clear this time is different: they used a statement with a triple negative, saying the U.S. sanctions "shall not be recognized, shall not be enforced, shall not be complied with" ("不得承认、不得执行、不得遵守", mofcom.gov.cn/zwgk/zcfb/art/…). In effect you now have companies that are in the middle of this - for instance financial institutions serving Hengli - caught in quite a bind: face U.S. or Chinese hostility. It's a no-win, they need to choose a camp on this. Concretely speaking, given that the overwhelming majority of companies affected are operating inside China, they'll obviously choose the China side. The real question therefore is: Is the U.S. ready to act on its threat and cut off Chinese banks or other institutions that keep servicing these refineries? Because that probably means sanctioning major Chinese financial institutions, which is a whole different level of escalation. The moment the U.S. designates a major Chinese bank for dealing with Hengli, this stops being about Iranian oil and becomes a direct financial confrontation between the two largest economies on earth, which is a much bigger deal with probable consequences for the entire global financial system. Or will the U.S. back off, meaning China would have effectively caught their bluff, showing that extraterritorial sanctions are a lot of bark but not a lot of bite? We'll know in the next couple of weeks I guess. One thing is sure though: whatever happens with these refineries, the broader damage is done. China used to extend remarkable goodwill on sanctions compliance - voluntarily cooperating with extraterritorial sanctions inside its own borders even though it had no legal obligation to respect them. That goodwill has been spent. And, from a U.S. standpoint, a China with less goodwill vis a vis U.S. financial hegemony is undoubtedly a far bigger issue than a few teapot refineries buying Iranian oil.

If you trusted "settled science" throughout history, you'd have: - Drunk radioactive water for vitality (1920s) - Had your healthy teeth pulled to cure mental illness (1910s) - Smoked cigarettes for your throat, on doctor's orders (1940s) - Taken heroin for your child's cough (1890s) - Eaten lead paint chips as a calcium supplement (decades of this) - Used asbestos to insulate your child's bedroom (1950s) - Given thalidomide to pregnant women for morning sickness (1960s) - Eaten margarine for your heart (1970s) - Lobotomised your sister for being unhappy (1940s and 50s) - Sprayed DDT on the children in the playground (1950s) - Avoided all fat to lose weight (1990s) - Replaced butter with trans-fat spreads on the doctor's recommendation (1990s) Every generation has its medical catastrophe dressed up as health advice. Endorsed by the experts. Printed in the textbooks. Recommended by your doctor. Featured on the front of the magazines in the waiting room. Ours is seed oils, statins, grain-based diets, ultra-processed convenience food, and the steady chemical maintenance of conditions that better food would resolve in 90 days. Future generations will look back in horror. Just like we look back at radioactive tonics and cigarette prescriptions and wonder how anyone fell for it. The pattern never changes. Only the product on the shelf.

THE OLDEST PHOTOGRAPHS IN EXISTENCE SHOW EMPTY CITIES. The first cameras were invented in the 1830s-1840s. The first photographs of major cities — Paris, London, New York, Moscow — show something that NO historian can explain: THE CITIES ARE EMPTY. Massive, ornate buildings. Perfect roads. Bridges. Canals. Fountains. And NOBODY in them. Not “few people.” NOBODY. Where are the builders? Where are the residents? Where are the horses, the carriages, the markets? “Long exposure times” — that’s their excuse. “People moved too fast to be captured.” But the trees are sharp. The flags are frozen. The water is still. The carriages are parked and PERFECTLY visible. Everything is in focus. Except the people. Because they WEREN’T THERE. These photographs were taken AFTER the reset. AFTER the Mud Flood. AFTER the original population was gone. The new settlers hadn’t moved in yet. What you’re looking at is a CRIME SCENE. An entire civilization — erased. Their cities — stolen. Their technology — claimed by others. And the cameras arrived just in time to capture the evidence.😉

Genuine question, @SimonDixonTwitt. Are there any questions and / or sobering facts, topics, or taboos you are scared (partially understandable for your own safety & your family) to be asked, to debate, or to admit to? Time for more challenging and truthful discussions...when?

Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, just posted a deranged screed wherein he repeats all the debunked genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes, from the 40 beheaded babies in ovens to the rapes, and even claims it's all on video. No such video exists. He's just openly lying. Now he did the classic mistake with his regurgitation of the hasbara scripts, because he added the 40 beheaded babies in ovens burned alive hoax alongside the others, which proves all of it is a fabricated atrocity propaganda hoax as even Israeli media and police records confirmed that no baby was beheaded and there's of course no video of that or any rape or burning anyone alive in a wheelchair or whatever deranged lunacy was implanted in that crazed freak's mind by his Zionist handlers. He also adds the original twist that Blinken and Biden loved so much, "in front of their parents". That's the hasbara cherry on top: The non-existent babies were beheaded in front of their non-existent mothers. The non-existent women were raped in front of their non-existent children. You see, they couldn't just leave it at the basic level of hoax. They had to up the ante, because hey, when we're making shit up that the NYT and BBC and Guardian reprint because we own them, let's go all the way, and say, "in front of their parents/children", to evoke this image too Schindler's List style. Now a very simple question arises from this: If they are willing to lie about this so openly and shamelessly, without any fear that any media outlet will hold them to account for it even though they also know it's a lie, what won't they lie about? The answer is nothing. They will and do lie about everything.

Giacomo is right..."about a great many things". Look at this 1) while I agree that reputational and financial skin in the game is an important element to trust heuristics, it also comes with potential pressures, conflicts of interest and distorted incentives that may end up making some "low-stake anons" occasionally *more* trustworthy than known successful entrepreneurs; Note the Bitcoin Cult markers dropped in. BLESSINGS OF THE STATE, BLESSINGS OF THE MASSES... etc. Signalling like this is a key part of cult messaging. That being said, trust is not something that exists in isolation. If you are at a Pub in London with a group of people you just met, the etiquette is for each person to buy a "round" of drinks. If the men are civilized, you can trust that if you get the first round another person will buy you a drink in a subsequent round. This sort of trust at the smallest scale has absolutely nothing to do with trusting people you don't know or who have never met with management of a trillion dollar financial network, or whether or not a Bitcoin Cult Anon is more trustworthy than an entrepreneur. "Trust" is not a single thing applicable to all scenarios and people; a better word is reliable; is a person a reliable source of information or not. Taking the "trust heuristics" idea further, people with no money on the line (heh...that's so true in Bitcoin!) or "skin in the game" are under far less pressure to tell the truth than any successful entrepreneur, because successful entrepreneurs have legal responsibilities to many people, and the State, compelling them to be truthful. There is absolutely no consequence to low level keyboard clackers to anything they say or do, because they're not taking any risk by actually working with Bitcoin rather than just talking about who is doing what with it. "BUT WHUTTABOUT X ENTREPRENEUR WHO WAS CAUGHT DOING X NAUGHTY THING?? GOTCHA!". "There's that anti Capitalism talk we talked about." Sigh...Please hang up and try again. 2) for this reason (plus other, admittedly more aesthetical, reasons,) I consider as a net positive the very same memetic subculture Beautyon denounces as a negative "Bitcoin Cult" (twitter anons, toxic maxis, taco plebs, cyber hornets, laser eyes, cheap don't-trust slogans, etc.) Beautyon doesn't "denounce" people in a worthless subculture; he simply points out that it is worthless. The idea of laser eyes was "till we reach 100K USD. You reached it, so so now you can ditch them, right? And what did those lazer eyes do to prevent anything? And how can grown men believe in and engage in this sort of twaddle? Is it fun? YES. Is it amusing? YES Should people do it for fun? YES But beyond that, taking it seriously is completely mad. Of course now lazrz are used to virtue signal, like a train hurtling down the track to mow you down, that you are in the Cult. By all means, keep your lazer eyes, but what you cannot do is claim that you're thinking, and don't complain when someone points out that a form of groupthink or brainwashing might be in effect, with people all doing the same things, talking the same gibberish, etc etc. To anyone who is an outsider, a "Bitcoiner" looks like a cult member. If you don't want to look like a cult member, don't talk like them, don't deploy ur lazurs. If you don't care, there is nothing to discuss, is there? CHARGE WEAPONS, FIRE. And once again, if the aim is to spread bitcoin everywhere, logically, if something is not working, it should be abandoned. Even if everyone on X changed their avatars to include laser eyes but was not using bitcoin, would that be success? To some it would be, especially if they think the purpose of Bitcoin is "Community". Whatever floats your boat. But that even the slightest papercut of a weak challenge is so hurty says a lot about how strong the ideas are...they're not strong; they're weak sauce. 3) it has not been so much Hodlonaut defecting from that "Cult", as much as the entrepreneur/developer elite in the traditional "Core" camp, which was historically aligned with it for a long while (especially in the context of the CSW saga): Hodlonaut is still mostly defended by "toximaxi anon plebs", and attacked by people further away from that meme (MrHodl is the real anomalous exception here, in this sense, not much Shinobi, which is not really anon, and not at all Adam, let alone the super antithetic Newberys/Zhaos/Hardings, which represent the very opposite to the "Cult", culturally); It is very much Hodlonaut defecting from the Cult, because he is openly defying "The Vatican of Bitcoin": Bitcoin Core and it's priesthood, calling them liars, conspirators, apostates and the other very nasty things occasionally associated with the bad elements in these venerated institutions. Hodlnaut is telling the unvarnished truth. People still in the cult and against him telling the truth are rejecting the reality of what they've dedicated their persons to. They believe so deeply in Bitcoin Core as part of the Bitcoin Cult system, that challenging it completely upends their personalities. They need help. They need an intervention, and Hodlnout has provided it. This is the thrust; if anyone rejects the exposing of the truth about the problems with how the reference client is developed, and how those problems were part of a conspiracy to destroy BItcoin, they are the ones with the problem. They are either for the destruction of bitcoin, or they're just brainless cult members, drama queens, sycophants, hangers on, or perpetual fence sitters terrified of taking any risk of any kind and other inert types that cannot by their nature ever change anything. 4) that doesn't mean that the "Cult", which largely supports Hodlonaut against Core-side gaslighting (and which includes me), would now in its entirety support BIP110: the reason is that the "memetic package" which it coalesced around included, at least to some degree, resistance to aggressive protocol changes (which Luke never represented, BTW, while MrHodl still does, and some "Core elite" people also incarnate); The proposition is very simple. Ossify Bitcoin and keep Bitcoin, or side with the "progressives" (in both senses of that word) and believe that you can keep piling your parochial "use cases" into bitcoin forever. No amount of perspective slicing, whataboutism, "not all X" fallacious arguments can change this; bitcoin must become a daemon that does one thing, or it will fail to do it and fail to free everyone from the global curse of fiat money. I can understand why childless, confused, weird incel dope heads might not understand why Bitcoin is important to future generations of man, but anyone who is neurotypical with children should be able to see why they would not want bitcoin to be a "meme platform" in the future, where their children and grandchildren will be living. And of course, people who think children are a commodity don't care about future children at all as people. "A small handful of deviants and perverts at the beginning of the 21st century unilaterally decided to destroy the best chance at the world being taken over by sound money. They did this because they were bored, anti-social, mentally ill, brainwashed, childless and twisted individuals. Due to their actions, and the inaction of good men who wanted to stay neutral in the face of evil and who went out of their way to excuse it, that one chance was almost captured, coopted, corrupted and crushed. Thankfully, they failed" That's what I want the future history books to say. @beautyon_/4505eea1129f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@beautyon_/450… I know what I want to be said of me in the future, and I don't want to be counted amongst the ranks of the cowards, thank you very much! 5) in general, Beautyon's post seems to oscillate from "Bitcoin will be fine regardless" and "Bitcoin must be saved now" attitudes...the "Cult" itself is actually divided on this attitude: I'm strongly in the former camp, which is also why I'm strongly anti-BIP110. Beautyon is very careful about predicting the future, and because zir is careful, his record of writing about Bitcoin has been super prescient since 2010. It is not contradictory to say bitcoin will be fine and it must be saved now; the only people who don't understand this are the inerts who are paralyzed by fear and who can't act. Bitcoin will be fine because there are people out there who are not afraid to act and who are doing the very hard and dangerous work of protecting it. That's why BIP110 and Knots are available. He is talking about the future after the Cult where bitcoin is ordinary just as SSL and GPG are, where no one pays attention to it. Everyone accepts that chats can be private and even on bad apps are completely secure from casual eavesdropping. This was not always the case, and now...it is. In the future, "money" will be sound by default. Inflation will be something that history geeks read about in complete disbelief. "How could so many people be so stupid and weak?" The question for everyone alive today is, "Will I be a part of the solution?". No matter what the answer is, there are enough people for whom this is not even a serious question, "Of course I'm doing this; DUTY NOW, FOR THE FUTURE".

Do not trust. Verify. I am pretty sure there is a blackmail video on Adam Back ...

Adam Back is entangled with the Deep State Please see his veiled Epstein connections + hating on Spam Mitigation + interests in NAKA + simping for Citrea (backed by Epstein’s lap dog Peter Thiel) + defending Core v30 + Lutnick connections Good luck getting him to be reasonable

@venorusprime @hodlonaut @adam3us @TomerStrolight The problem is what if there are blackmail-videos and / or audio....?

@adam3us takes a break from blocking plebs who ask him if he went to Epstein Island in order to lecture @TomerStrolight about the reputational risks of promoting @hodlonaut. 🤣👇🤡

@hodlonaut Still waiting. Was Adam Back on any pedo-intel-fiat island (Epstein only one of them).? What did he do self-willingly or drugged? What was his intention? What did he talk or negotiate about with Epstein & intel Co.?

Me: *publishes meticulously sourced article* Adam: "why not simply talk to some developers, or people who are immersed in this space who can tell you the nuanced reality. but no, the space cat went full-retard, pile on the false conclusion hate, so developers have to add skimming threats to their morning routine. thanks guys👎 not" Me: "I reached out to fanquake and AJ Towns with questions. They chose to not reply at all. I reached out to Newbery and Jonas with questions. They also chose to not reply at all." Shinobi: "How about show the questions, and how leading they were, fucking clown. "When was the last time you beat your wife?"" I guess I will be showing all my completely IGNORED and UNANSWERED questions in full later today.

Prominent journalist Tucker Carlson drops a massive bombshell. He exposes how the most fervent supporters of Israel in Congress are the exact same politicians voting to open American borders. He confirms the Zionist lobby is actively working to destroy the nation from within.

I remember when so many of us tried to warn family and friends about the Covid Vaccines and they wouldn’t listen. We lost millions of people to these kill shots, people are now seeing that for them selves. Every single person that covered up the fact that these Jabs were unsafe, and then pushed these biological weapons on good people, should face Gods wrath. They should be put on the stand for Crimes against humanity and mass genocide. Then judgement should be cast on those who intentionally harmed others to benefit themselves. Justice is coming.

More specifically: The U.S. is controlled by the financial-industrial complex, which operates in partnership with transnational capital and China. The Venezuela operation serves the interests of the FIC, not the United States as a nation. I believe Iran is being integrated into the BRICS Middle East regional stability model and will be rebuilt regionally, led by China Belt & Road initiative and negotiated FIC contracts.

Following decades of inflicting the most cruel unilateral sanctions on the people of Iran constraining their lives, including women and children; supporting American-induced armed rioting in Iran, as admitted by Trump, which resulted in the loss of 3,117 lives; remaining indifferent to the American and Israeli regimes' war of aggression against the Iranian nation, leading to the slaying of 3,400 innocent lives, including women and children; and looking the other way when 168 schoolchildren were brutally massacred by American missiles in Minab, southern Iran—absolutely staggering that the President of the European Commission finds any moral standing to demand "fundamental changes" in Iran before sanctions can be lifted, attributing this to the so-called "repression of human rights, particularly women's rights, and many other issues." The Iranian nation, being on the demand side, holds the European Union responsible for its violations of human rights against Iranians and all the anguish it has caused. Just leave the Iranian nation alone!

@kudzaikutukwa @MicroStrategy @Substack Thank you for sharing your story, ethos, and wisdom.

@keyvandavani @MicroStrategy @Substack Thank you for having me! 🙏🏻

1) Summary This conversation explores the failures and vulnerabilities of the fiat monetary system, the rise of #Bitcoin as the only rational, effective, and ethical alternative, & the challenges and prospects of Bitcoin adoption...

This is pretty much exactly why I also agree with @SimonDixonTwitt's sobering analysis. Paper Bitcoin & all these trashy Fiat derivatives a la @MicroStrategy will continue manipulating & suppressing #Bitcoin's true purchasing power potential or fiat-price by orders of magnitude.

🇨🇳China Tech “decoupling” update: US EVs in China now need Chinese AI brains to stop being "artificial idiots" Tesla’s cars in China will soon be chatting away using DeepSeek for conversation and ByteDance’s Doubao for commands — understanding dialects, compound requests, and actual human speech For years, Chinese drivers roasted Tesla’s voice assistant as “an artificial idiot” — a system so clueless about local dialects you had to speak CCTV-anchor Mandarin just to change the temperature 🤦‍♂️ Because China is a country of 1.4 billion people and at least ten major dialect groups. Standard Mandarin, the version most foreigners learn, is just one of them. So for the 80 million people living in, say, Sichuan Province, getting Tesla to adjust the temperature meant first pressing “Hey, Tesla,” and then carefully enunciating “set to 24 degrees,” in textbook Mandarin. Try a compound sentence and the system fell apart Now Tesla’s in-car assistant in China is getting wired into DeepSeek and ByteDance’s Doubao, so you can finally mumble a Sichuan-accented “it’s stuffy, turn on the AC and take me to the nearest coffee shop” and the car just does it 7M+ smart cars in China already run on Doubao, across 50+ brands and 145 models, handling over 30M in-cabin interactions every single day Tech decoupling is starting to look suspiciously like tech dependency 🤭 thechinaacademy.org/two-chinese-ai…

@MicroStrategy 34) @kudzaikutukwa maintains an active presence on #Nostr and @Substack to share insights with both Bitcoin proponents and fiat-oriented audiences. There is interest in further deep conversations, particularly about Bitcoin’s threats, hurdles, and transition phases.

@MicroStrategy 33) Institutional involvement is a double-edged sword—while it brings liquidity and legitimacy, it risks compromising Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos.
