BREAKING DOWN 'Cryptocurrency'¹
The anonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions makes them well-suited for a host of nefarious activities, such as money laundering and tax evasion.

Hmmm ...... Looks like we might be in the midst of another run-up to a BUBBLE bath. Perhaps we need a history refresher? In March of 2011, I wrote a blog post entitled “Vast Fund of Stupidity [& Recycling Cupidity]”?!^[2] It began thus:

In memory of the birth of the South Sea Company^[3] (in 1711 – 300 years ago), Deja Vu Times recycles a few comments/quotes from the “bubble-bath” of 1720. These words from the 1700s are also recycled in memory of the many bubble-baths^[4] since and in expectation of The Great Bath (TGB) to come (sooner than later), if we don’t renounce this Vast Fund (and all its fundamentalists).

Are we in a grandiose run-up to The Great Bubble Bath? Investopedia assures us that cryptocurrencies “are difficult to counterfeit” and “theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.” Do the words “difficult” and “theoretically immune” offer sufficient comfort? Isn't the major overwhelming economic problem NOT that governments interfere and manipulate, but that private central banks continually puppeteer governments and economies on a global scale? And who really believes that the secret creators of cryptocurrencies have not engineered backdoors to monitor and control whatever they wish. Are we being bambozzled? Is what they promise the opposite of what is or will be? déjà vu the perpetual schemes of all those who pursue and protect power and gain?!

What do we understand about cryptocurrencies and their connections to AI? Could any of these videos help?

Hypocrisy of YouKnowWhoTube?

Before I could even post, recommending this shocking exposé of hypocrisy and marketing of children, the End Times News Report video was DELETED by the lords of increasing censorship. (Oh, déjà vu!!) Here is evidence:

EXPOSED! Dangerous Pedophile Rings & Child Traffickers On YouTube (Time 51:28) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elYJFbpo2vQ
WARNING: Disturbing, graphic content exposing a reality that we ignore at our and others peril.

Here is where ETNR explains the take-down of his exposé:

#PizzaGate - YouTube Gags Journalists Trying to Expose YT Pedophile Rings (Time 8:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KPPWpGc27o

This explanation may also disappear in short order. If so, search his channel periodically for updates or try his vid.me channel for the exposé of adults-without-conscience who are sexualizing, filming, and uploading images of children (or of cartoon characters loved by children) for the (im)pure sake of ad revenues. ETNR's exposé should go VIRAL with a blowback to YouKnowWhoTube that will never be forgotten. Here is the ETNR initial exposé posted (hopefully) beyond the clutches of the lords of censorship.

May it shock and disturb you into an awakening to what is really going on, into a commitment of united action against the marketing and abuse of children worldwide, and against the blatant hypocrisy of quasi-monopolistic corps who are prepared to do and sacrifice anything in pursuit and protection of power and gain.

Connecting the Dots ~ Exposing the Cons?

When media is in the ownership and control of those pursuing and protecting power and gain, what is the likelihood of truth being disseminated to the masses?

Does it matter whether the pursuer / protector is black or white? brown or beige? young or old? able or disabled? politically right or left? human or AI?

If your raison d'être were to increase power and gain, would you allow your owned and controlled media empire to spread the truth about your hidden agendas? your secret deals? your moral failings? Would you want anyone connecting the dots of your cons as you competed for the resources of the world? for the supreme position of all positions — #1?

Or maybe you fell for a “honey-pot” / “brown-stone” op and found yourself compromised such that your power and gain status was at risk of exposure and collapse? What would you not do to keep the truth under wraps? to keep the income coming in? Would you lie? steal? cheat? oppress? kill? Would you seek to compromise and blackmail others so they, too, would be “in control”? Would you falsely accuse whistle-blowers of the very crimes they seek to expose? Would you come to take pleasure in the success of your duplicities? Would you become addicted to the highs of deceiving the “low brows”? Would you revel in the deliberate, increasing incongruities you were able to get away with? in the fabrications that you were able to force others to advance for the sake of their paychecks and pensions?

So if media is owned and controlled by power- and gain-brokers, what is the chance for truth? What is the historical, déjà vu “pattern and practice”? to accuse upstart, non-conforming investigative journalists of fictional sins and crimes? — just like whistle-blowers? Is the pattern to deflect? disparage? destroy the true news? to swear by all that is high and mighty, low and despicable that “False News” is everywhere but where you are?

So to those who get their news and views from corporate-controlled media, the déjà vu truth is: Whether the anchor or reporter is Fox-, CNN-, MSNBC-, ETC.-affiliated, your diet is fat-cat-saturated and truth deficient.

Time to move on, folks. Unplug from the fat-cat MSM. Move on to the new news paradigm — those upstart alternates who risk reputation, life, and limb to uncover the cover-ups of power and gain agendas with facts, evidence, and accountability. As always, use one's head and discernment, but perhaps begin with some of these:

▪ The Corbett Report at https://www.youtube.com/user/corbettreport
▪ George Webb at https://www.youtube.com/user/georgwebb
▪ Crowdsource the Truth at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Cl9QaRtuW9CNjP7pP4BBQ

▪ The Solari Report at https://www.youtube.com/user/thesolarireport
▪ End Times News Report at https://www.youtube.com/user/prepare333

And remember, the fat-cat "pattern and practice" is to malign, mock, and accuse all who threaten their standing and glory; and to reward willing, shilling others for doing the same.
