It is obviously an older video since the DOW was showing around $11k. I believe it is now over $16k.

The huge debt will destroy the US.

Bitcoin user affected (with huge gains in USD value).

Why would a debt denominated is USD destroy the US? I'm not sure I understand that point, if anything they should borrow as much as they can while still maintaining a semblance of credibility. That seems like the rational thing to do unless I'm missing something. Which is quite possible...

when you borrow and can't pay what you borrow back, you lose sovereignty
hence banking dynasties

Sorry, couldn't find it outside facebook...maybe someone else has a better link.

While listening to every valid point he is making, the only thing I was thinking was "heh, bitcoin..../problem"
Well, you are absolutely correct.  He's frustrated by thinking inside the box with no solution inside the box.

I almost choked on my coffee when the girl sprouted "But America as the Leader of the Free World...."

didn't watch anything but reminds me of The Newsroom's opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zqOYBabXmA
though I can't not say that might be some sort of an agenda behind that show

Please also note that in regards to being greedy, I can only speak for myself :-P

Perhaps your greed is getting in the way of the protocols success

Maybe we should be asking is why do we let the SWAT teams we pay do this to us aren't we their Bosses ? don't we control their leadership? don't we elect the people who control them? Maybe we need to let them know enough is enough . The drug war has been a total failure . By the look of this SWAT is a failure along with it.

democracies without functional checks are power vacuums

"CNN has updates on the story of the Georgia SWAT team that threw a flash bang while executing a no-knock warrant that severely burned a nineteen-month-old baby. Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell says the deputies involved are "devastated" and that they've been called "baby killers" and received threats. "All I can say is pray for the baby, his family and for us," the sheriff told CNN."

praying for justice

Is there a reason why you didn't edit out the furry images?

I had been up for four days straight reading and writing code - at that point I just didn't care Tongue

grateful for your pioneering work wolfie! my mining pool hashrate reflects my hashrate on a 4770k as much faster. Consistently 200H/s+ instead of often lingering in the 100s

How much does 200H\s net you in a day? Thanks

maybe a monero if I'm lucky

wtf, are they trying to condition us into fear now? This is like the xx'th story I heard this year about police brutality and getting away with it

how Orwellian

it's like a 'battered wife' approach in keeping the masses yoked

Then why is solar popular? Huge taxpayer subsidies hide the actual cost. Other renewables receive a subsidy of about one cent per kwh, solar energy receives about 96 cents per kwh. We pay solar’s cost in the form of taxes instead of as electric rates.

subsidies=>misrepresentation of costs=>misallocation of resources=>waste

No.. I dont believe this a bit.

Plans, strategies and war games, they're probably being planned. Whether they're actually planning to carry those plans out, not nearly as likely.

All Wars Are Bankers' Wars

decently influential on my worldviews

isn't the same for the US, UK ... ect that been doing this on a whole other level, there are just new comers in the geopolitical game and as an US ally, Taliban wasn't financed and formed thanks to CIA and the USA, ect ect, and even today they are just following the steps made by the US and other western countries in Syria, today, you can sense from media that our western countries are taking a step back but is it really the case? if you check the media from last year you can see that they were official statements even pushing to finance and train "the population that was fighting for freedom"

Although the CIA don't want to support the terrorist organizations, they are doing it in order to capture the natural resources. Just look at what happened in Libya and Iraq. Secular governments were brought down by the CIA, with the help of hard-line Islamists. If the CIA only cares about the freedom fighters, then why capture all the oil rigs and give them to American corporations?
Where does the CIA fall in the line of overall command?

Opinions on Rand Paul?
I'd probably vote for him this time around

After many decades, the American public might be having the opportunity to vote for a winnable Libertarian candidate in 2016. But it needs to be seen whether he will be able to win the GOP nomination.

http://2016.republican-candidates.org/

Forgive my ignorance, but who are the most likely candidates in this camp?

I'd probably vote for him this time around

The Libertarian party quite effectively summed up Rand Paul when they said he betrayed the core libertarian principles. There's a reason Paul caucuses with the GOP. His so called social libertarian positions (as far as marijuana is concerned) are only a compromise to pander to the younger GOP support base. In reality, he's far from libertarian views on society, and his views on same-sex marriage prove it.

I wonder how he deviated so much from his father.

kind of an oldish book (2010) that I haven't read but maybe you might find it useful now.
http://www.amazon.com/Wiki-Government-Technology-Democracy-Stronger/dp/0815705107

I'd like to see an opt-out option where people can be free to set up their own local wikigovs nested in larger wikigovs. I haven't yet fully matured these ideas though.

Anyway, the Book of Leviticus will be upon us at some point so I'd like to take part in this. I have to note that democracies inevitably end in power vacuums though unless something fundamental changes. It will have to be through decentralization somehow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Genoa#13th_and_14th_century

In the Republic of Genoa each ruling family rotated as doge once a year. This resulted in decent rule because the families would actually be subject to the laws they make and they would fear retaliation the next year if you know, they didn't act in Genoa's best interests.

Now scaling this to a nation the size of the USA will be tricky
