Could this be good news for the blockchain? Just kidding!  Seriously all those "step backs" are legitimising the bitcoin value more and more. Gambling with bitcoin only should not be a problem in the future. Lots of opportunities for solid, legit companies should arise as this space is wide open. This is the site I am hoping will bring the market away from amateurism, if they do not screw up with their app (when they decide to launch) http://infinitipoker.com/ |

Pope Francis urges global leaders to end 'tyranny' of money Pope Francis has attacked the “dictatorship” of the global financial system and warned that the “cult of money” was making life a misery for millions. He said free-market capitalism had created a “tyranny” and that human beings were being judged purely by their ability to consume goods. Money should be made to “serve” people, not to “rule” them, he said, calling for a more ethical financial system and curbs on financial speculation. Countries should impose more control over their economies and not allow “absolute autonomy”, in order to provide “for the common good”. The gap between rich and poor was growing and the “joy of life” was diminishing in many developed countries, the Argentinian Pope said, two months after he was elected as the successor to Benedict XVI. “While the income of a minority is increasing exponentially, that of the majority is crumbling,” said Francis, who as archbishop of Buenos Aires visited slums, opted to live in a modest flat rather than an opulent Church residence and went to work by bus. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/the-pope/10061700/Pope-Francis-urges-global-leaders-to-end-tyranny-of-money.html |

And just think! Who supports these scumbags.
Well that was dumb. Are you claiming that those exact cops were the ones who did this? Or are you claiming that presidentsss should not be supporting cops? Or are you just claiming that Obama is bad because...? All of those are stupid though, so, yeah, that was just dumb. I understood it as "Scumbag in Chief"... And no! He does not support all the cops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZYsW_PxWAMLove the AP/Press laughing too. Now AP not laughing too much... |

10 of 12 IRS offices implicated in scandal are in Washington. The Treasury Inspector General's damaging report on the IRS-Tea Party scandal has destroyed the administration's claim that low-level workers in a Cincinnati, Ohio office are to blame, revealing that 10 of 12 agency offices referenced in the affair are in Washington. The report repeatedly references actions taken by the Washington-based Exempt Organizations unit and guidance specialists also in Washington. What's more, the report was researched in the Exempt Organizations offices and the Cincinnati-based Determinations Units, which has received the blame for targeting Tea Party groups. The audit, for example, probes into how the Cincinnati-based Determinations Unit developed its plan to pay attention to groups with the words "Tea Party," "Patriot," and other phrases used by anti-Obama groups during the 2010 election. Washington-based offices denied involvement, but did change the "criteria" for groups to target in July 2011. Instead of looking for "Tea Party" groups seeking tax exempt status to investigate, the criteria was broadened to "political, lobbying or [general] advocacy." However, "the team of specialists subsequently changed the criteria in January 2012" back, apparently without telling their bosses. "Specialists" are both Washington- and Ohio- based. Popular talk radio host Mark Levin, one of the first to post the IG report online, suggested that the House committees investigating the scandal use the IG's "High-Level Organization Chart of Offices Referenced in this Report" on page 29 in picking who should testify. He suggested that the heads of all 12 be called to testify. http://washingtonexaminer.com/10-of-12-irs-offices-implicated-in-scandal-are-in-washington/article/2529725 |

I remember on one of the "let's talk bitcoin" soundcloud episode that http://www.fr33aid.com/ was mentionned. I do not remember all the details but they started to accept bitcoin because the IRS was making it very difficult if not impossible for them to "regulate" their financial situation based on what they wanted to create. Could fr33aid be one of the targeted victims of that tyranny? The number keeps growing (around 500 groups). Obama's brother charity based on the president's name by the way went through in a couple of days... http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/14/irs-official-lerner-approved-exemption-for-obama-brothers-charity/"The IRS targeting of conservative groups is far broader than first reported, with nearly 500 organizations singled out for additional scrutiny, according to two lawmakers briefed by the agency. IRS officials claimed on Friday that roughly 300 groups received additional scrutiny. Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Tuesday that the number has actually risen to 471. Further, they said it is "unclear" whether Tea Party and other conservative groups are being targeted to this day. We have an answer to that question now, too. Here's Carol again, quoting the cover letter from the IG's findings, dated yesterday: "A substantial number of applications have been under review, some for more than three years and through two election cycles, and remain open." Lest you even ask, nobody involved in this scheme has been disciplined (yet); just the opposite, in fact: John King ✔ @JohnKingCNN from #IRS briefing to Hill: no employees involved in inappropriate scrutiny of conservative groups disciplined, one was promoted." http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2013/05/15/reports-irs-spared-liberal-groups-as-tea-party-languished-more-conservative-orgs-targeted-than-first-thought-n1596864 |

Where was the AP when they were too busy licking the Hawaiian King butt for 4+ years and masturbating at Palin's shoes? F@#$%k them. |

Bush helped making the republican party somewhat weaker. Obama helped destroying the big government loving liberals mindset.
Now I hope both conservatives and liberals will be more skeptical than ever about letting "elected citizen" do whatever they want without any questions once in post of power.
Now I hope the Media will understand they are tools when they stop being critical about the power that be.
Eating cheddar flavored popcorn right now. What a week!

Got some more info on this today. It's apparently for their 501c (?) SuperPac status. Basically those groups we've all been hearing about that allow unlimited anonymous political donations, using a tax group organization that was set up as "service the social welfare." They get away with it by claiming that their "concern" ads that attack opposing politicians are just to "increase awareness of an issue that may adversely affect general welfare." It's basically bullshit that needs to stop, and need to stop on both sides. Yes, it's unfair that it was done more to the right-wing nuts than to left-wing nuts. And yeah, I'm kinda conflicted about it, since with Bitcoin you'd be able to do unlimited political donations and advertising, anyway.
Though I do have some schadenfreude about a fascist theocratic party getting shafted.
The thing is, when the machine is up and running when and to what point do you stop it? As long as it targets the people you oppose it is all fun and game maybe. Remember the Patriot Act? that was evil back then. Now since 110% of it is still running (10% above now, thanks to the AP phone taps scandal) not so much. More examples beyond the Tea Party people?

Damn cat! Get back in your bag!  Good luck controlling an idea. This is here to stay forever. Now lets talk non-printable parts. Someone mentioned gunpowder? Find a cave that has or has had bat colonies. You will see large guano piles in such a cave, and all around the edges of the guano pile you will see that Potassium nitrate has precipitated. It is also called saltpeter and it is a white powder/crystal. Collect it. Next you will need to make some charcoal. Build a reduction fire in a pit you have dug and fill it with hardwood chunks. Light it and cover with grass to smother it a bit. When you are done you will have charcoal. Next you need some sulfur. Sulfur is the 16th. most common element. You can find it in nature if you live near a volcano, or buy it at the pharmacy. Weigh out 75% potassium nitrate, 15%Charcoal, and 10% sulfur. Mill the charcoal and sulfur for several hours until a fine powder is achieved. Now add the potassium nitrate and mill for another two days. You now have meal powder / black powder. It is crappy gunpowder, but it will work. Schumer may make access to bat caves very difficult by putting a TSA agent next to them. |

Schumer....is that Italian?
Feinstein is I think....
This is America. Everybody came from somewhere one day, like the US president... |

The key word here is he learned about that IRS news scandal at the same time as everyone else. The WH was totally insulated in a bubble were everything around bounces back from that force field (maybe developed by The SAIC Force Protection Suite?) Everything else is what a US president was supposed to say, of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xprS6RjLZEw |

Six times the IRS has been accused of punishing President Obama's political opponents. http://freebeacon.com/obamas-irs/The thing with politicians is, when they use an illegal tool against their opponents they will be facing the other side of that evil hammer when they become opponents themselves. They legitimate it. Not true, if the media is aligned with a politician, and is silent about those illegal tools, or protests only long after their use, and then weakly, but then if an opponent arises, screams at the least and silliest of transgressions. To illustrate your point. The reaction of the WaPo, the "Tool" that once helped make a US president resign. Will they just report the facts and move on or are they going to be the pit bull they used to be and never let go of this story? Do not hold your breath. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/05/12/irs-targeted-groups-that-criticized-the-government-ig-report-says/ |

Somebody needs to send the OP to Mark as text to be read on his TracFone.
If copy pasting part of the text was a faux pas on this forum, I refrain from doing this in the future. Some people do not like to click on external links posted on a thread and prefer reading the info withing it. I do both, linking the full article and pasting part of it if if it is a too long. The link is also proof of where I found the information and give credit to the original content creators. Sorry if that was a problem on very small non smart phone screens. My post was only meant as humor, referencing an inferior mobile device--TracFone--to further illustrate the problems Mt Gox supposedly has. Got it.  |

Who made the spaghettis for that monster then? :-) To the original OP, I got to that video a while back when trying to learn more about everything Quantum Mechanics. This dude may have seen some light, but he was blinding me with his insane, Heaven's Gate's like hypnotic, non stop, no break speech with that subliminal stupid music (not that the music in itself was bad, it is an OK soundtrack for the subject matter.) |
