    Texas is a very large state, it still has its factions so I’m not speaking about everyone that lives in this state with me. Nonetheless, Texas is done for in my opinion. It will become the new California, but worse. Once the money falls out, we will be left with the decent folks from the inner city. East Texas is really the only place people want to live. West Texas is red, but nobody lives there and more and more Hispanics are moving to those places. Texas has an open border that is allowing people into this country who will harm the sovereignty of it…. Yes Texas, big hats and big mouths. Such big mouths everyone that can’t make it somewhere else has moved here. We need to get some Yankees from Michigan down here to show us Texans how it’s done.

    Just to be clear, I love Texas, best land mass in the US. From Dallas to the plains of South Texas, it’s beautiful.Texas has done some good marketing the last 30 years, let’s hope we can cash some of those checks for the good people here.

    How rare are vaccine side effects? Not very rare at all.
    Highlights of the Israeli report

    0.3% of people reported hospitalization as a result of the adverse event they experienced.

    4.5% of respondents reported neurological problems

    Nearly 10% of women under age of 54 had disruptions to their menstrual cycle

    About 25% of people with pre-existing auto-immune disorders, depression or anxiety reported a worsening of their symptoms following the booster.

    I have a great first-hand data point on neuro issues. I know a neurologist group with 20,000 patients. About 1,000 have new or worsened neurological issues after vaccination. So this is a 5% rate vs. the 4.5% in the study.

    So that’s a quick sanity check.
    More evidence of side effect rates that are off the charts

    See:

    Most people who lived through both systems would agree with you about socialism vs crony capitalism. However, the factor you seem to be missing in Poland, Hungary and Russia is that those countries have somewhat authoritarian leadership, but are very market oriented, much much more so than the supposedly free market countries with which they compete these days.

    Neat map. But the green counties are not really where the TEXANS live.

    You know the reason why that quote is so famous is because your bitcoins are not traceable, so you can say you simply lost them, which also used to be pretty common in the early days.
    Nobody loses their gold, silver, ammo or firearms. So it doesn't really apply.
    Plus, they take up space, they are not as easy to buy off the record as bitcoins are, and it's more expansive to find a secret place to hide them where no one would think of looking. Especially your firearms and ammo, which I guess you wanna keep as close as possible to you.

    So, as much as you are trying to divert the attention from Bitcoin with more practical use of money, I feel like I should reiterate that bitcoins ARE money, which allow you to buy all that stuff without being so easily traceable. Again, that is the whole point. If you use fiat to buy things, they are not really 100% yours, because governments and banks can track it and seize it, pretty much all of the time, without that much effort.
    If you use bitcoins it's way harder for them to make this happen. And the more people use them, the harder it gets, because instead of buying btc on some centralized exchange and keeping it there, there would be highly frequent peer-to-peer exchanges, and people would quickly learn how to be as anonymous as they can be.
    I have no issue with Bitcoin or crypto, it's just not for me.

    Indeed, but much like when I lived in Grand Junction, CO.... Denver and Aspen told the whole state how to move. I have hope, but lets see what happens with this trucker convoy. How the city officials and locals respond will be interesting.

    Damn who'd have thought that just lying to cops would make them go away.
    As Coach has mentioned before, not all of us will set foot in a death camp...

    Sure, your romantic version of Texas illustrates some interesting contrast. Your ideology is compelling. It’s just not accurate. Objectively across every demographic (and all things measurable) Texas looks like the USA. More so than less.
    In that case, I'll assume you meant to type 'idea' instead of 'ideology'.

    Important: The Reason for the Police Violence in Ottawa is Not What You Think

    The black clad army of mercenaries and police brutalizing a peaceful protest in Ottawa this weekend has been planned for years. It is overkill for a reason. It is theatre. It is an othering, a willful flagrant statement on the future of the working class everywhere. It instructs them: you will die. If not now, then sometime in the next ten years. Your towns will be gutted, your jobs will evaporate, you will scramble for pennies until you fall over dead and your children will have nothing to look forward to. You are Tutsi, you are Jew, you are Kulak, you are compromador, you are Othered. You are headed for the slagheap of history. Fight back and you will be deemed domestic terrorists and encamped indefinitely.
    The Odessa Steps – Chicago Boyz

    The early Soviet propaganda movie, The Battleship Potemkin, culminates in a prolonged and shocking sequence of local citizens – men, women and children – gunned down by remorseless Czarist soldiers on Odessa’s famed harbor-to-town staircase. The sequence remains a shocker. (And is still studied in film schools, apparently, for being ground-breaking effective and technologically ahead of the time.) Historically, there was never such a massacre on the Steps, but the sequence served as a kind of cinematic shorthand for State brutality aimed at essentially harmless, unarmed, unthreatening civilians in a public place; civilians who were seen to be defying the authority of the State. And so the armed minions of the State acted – because even the mildest defiance of Authority on the part of ordinary workers and their families is a stab at the heart of those Authorities. They cannot brook defiance, and so out come the armed police, just as they have this week in the streets of Ottawa with regard to the truckers protesting vaccine mandates. All the forces of the law, with the cheerful approval of the Canadian established media, the intellectual and ruling class – it’s really rather breathtaking, this concentrated venom and enthusiasm for breaking heads and bones, all aimed at the workers participating in a civil and well-organized street protest. (It would seem that as far as the RCMP are concerned, Dudley Do-Right and Constable Benton Fraser both have left the building – so much for Canadian ‘polite.’)
    Canada’s Evil Gnome – Small Dead Animals

    [Chrystia] Freeland arouses strong feelings among old Russia hands. Before the Yeltsin era collapsed, she had consistent, remarkable access to gangster-oligarchs like Boris Berezovsky, who appeared in her Financial Times articles described as aw-shucks humans just doing their best to make sure “big capital” maintained its “necessary role” in Russia’s political life. “Berezovsky was one of several financiers who came together in a last-ditch attempt to keep the Communists out of the Kremlin” was typical Freeland fare in, say, 1998.

    ...

    Years later, she is somehow Canada’s Finance Minister, and what another friend from our Russia days laughingly describes as “the Nurse Ratched of the New World Order.” At the end of last week, Minister Freeland explained that in expanding its Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) program, her government was “directing Canadian financial institutions to review their relationships with anyone involved in the illegal blockades.”

    The Emergencies Act contains language beyond the inventive powers of the best sci-fi writers. It defines a “designated person” — a person eligible for cutoff of financial services — as someone “directly or indirectly” participating in a “public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace.” Directly or indirectly?

    She went on to describe the invocation of Canada’s Emergencies Act in the dripping-fake tones of someone trying to put a smile on an insurance claim rejection, with even phrases packed with bad news steered upward in the form of cheery hypotheticals. As in, The names of both individuals and entities as well as crypto wallets? Have been shared? By the RCMP with financial institutions? And accounts have been frozen? As she confirmed this monstrous news about freezing bank accounts, Freeland burst into nervous laughter, looking like Tony Perkins sharing a cheery memory with “mother”.
    Who would ever have predicted this in Canada? The Left is always evil, they merely want power, they are not liberal, and they haven't ever been liberal. The Left cannot be reasoned with. They are the enemy, and they must be dealt with as such.
