If this bill would only be adopted, Bitcoin could remain king for who knows how long yet.


Bill Introduced To Ban Fed From Issuing CBDC



https://www.technocracy.news/bill-introduced-to-ban-fed-from-issuing-cbdc/
"Today, I introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act to halt efforts of unelected bureaucrats in Washington, DC from stripping Americans of their right to financial privacy," Emmer, a staunch cryptocurrency advocate, wrote.

He continued, "Any digital version of the dollar must uphold our American values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free market competitiveness. Anything less opens the door to the development of a dangerous surveillance tool."

Emmer said that the bill would bar the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC, prevent the Fed from using a CBDC for monetary policy purposes, and require the Fed's CBDC projects to be transparent.

CBDCs are digital versions of national fiat currencies that operate on private blockchains.

He noted, "After all, America remains a technological leader not because we force innovations to adopt our values under regulatory duress, but because we allow technology that holds these values at their core to flourish."
Emmer said that Reps. French Hill (R-AR), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Mike Flood (R-NE), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Young Kim (R-CA), and Ralph Norman (R-SC) cosponsored the bill.

The Fed has said it is "exploring the potential benefits and risks of CBDCs from a variety of angles," which includes research and experimentation.

Now we are seeing something a little more practical for stopping the destructive covid vaccines. Idaho has been doing a lot of things that are good for its people. Almost two-thirds of Oregon (right next to Idaho) want their counties to become part of Idaho.

If Pfizer and Moderna will not stop their disastrous and injurious mRNA vaccinations, state lawmakers are finally stepping in to do it for them. If Idaho lawmakers are successful, Idahoans seeking mRNA shots will have to go elsewhere. National sentiment is rapidly turning on these Transhumanist eugenics experiments. ⁃ TN Editor


Idaho Lawmakers Seek To Criminalize mRNA Injections



https://www.technocracy.news/idaho-lawmakers-to-criminalize-mrna-injections/
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person may not provide or administer a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state. A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor," according to House Bill 154 (pdf) presented to the state's House Health and Welfare Committee on Feb. 15. The bill was introduced by state Sen. Tammy Nichols and Rep. Judy Boyle.

While promoting the bill before the committee, Nichols pointed out that there have been "more and more concerns rising" about the mRNA vaccines.

"We have issues that this was fast-tracked, there's no liability, there's no access to data, risk-benefit analysis has not been done, there's no informed consent," she said.

Nichols insisted that mRNA vaccines be treated in a "similar manner" to harmful drugs. She pointed out that there are "concerns of blood clots and heart issues" related to using COVID-19 mRNA vaccines which need to be addressed.

COVID-19 mRNA Approvals
At present, three types of COVID-19 vaccines exist—protein subunit, viral vector, and mRNA. Vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer, which have been widely distributed, come under mRNA categorization.

Around 400 million Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and over 250 million Moderna vaccines have been administered in the United States.

According to the CDC, mRNA vaccines use mRNA developed in a laboratory to teach cells in a human body to produce a protein or part of a protein triggering an immune response. It is this immune response that then creates antibodies to fight the SARS-Cov-2 virus.

143  Other / Off-topic / EXPERT: Nattokinase detoxifies covid spike proteins from the body on: February 24, 2023, 06:00:57 PM
The big problem isn't the spike proteins found in natural covid. Rather, its the spike protein 'soup' found in the vaccines that is the problem.

The vaccines apparently work for spike proteins, even though they present many problems on their own. In fact, the vaccines work so well, that they lock the body into believing that it will never be invaded by spike proteins again, even though this is not true. Then, when covid invades again (or for the first time in some people), their bodies don't detect the covid, and the people are left without a fighting mechanism in place. They get sicker than ever, and often die, all because of the vaccines.

So, here is help.


EXPERT: Nattokinase detoxifies covid spike proteins from the body



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-02-23-nattokinase-detoxifies-covid-spike-proteins-from-body.html
Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, has dropped another bombshell revelation, this time about how nattokinase, a natural enzyme found in fermented soybeans, is a powerful remedy against Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) spike proteins.

McCullough says he is asked all the time by people who got “vaccinated” for covid what they can do to “get this out of my body.” This inspired him to write a piece about nattokinase that calls the substance the “holy grail of covid-19 vaccine detoxification.”

“The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code,” McCullough writes. “The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period.”

“This would be an advantage for a normal human protein being replaced in a rare genetic deficiency state (e.g., alpha galactosidase in Fabry’s disease). However, it is a big problem when the protein is the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Spike. The adenoviral DNA (Janssen) should be broken down by deoxyribonuclease, however this has not been exhaustively studied.”

(Related: The SARS-CoV-2 “virus” has still never been isolated.)

So what can one do to induce the dissolution of these spike proteins? Nattokinase, McCullough says, holds the greatest promise out of any other detoxification agent of which he is aware. And the best part is that it is relatively inexpensive, and is sold over the counter as a dietary supplement.

145  Other / Politics & Society / [POV] Ukraine has been DESTROYED and there's nothing left on: February 23, 2023, 06:51:18 PM
Exactly one year has passed since Russia started the war and Ukraine is still free. It was a very difficult year, but fortunately the winter was quite warm, so the bombing of critical infrastructure and systematic blackouts did not affect morally, neither me nor the Ukrainians in general. I want to add that over the past year, in Mykolaiv, the duration of the sounding of the warning siren was 45 days or 1000 hours ... Just think about this figure.

The absurdity is that Russia continues to accuse the West of starting this war, moreover, I am a little confused because I do not understand what logic the Russians are guided by when they sing a Ukrainian song at Putin's concert. I want to mention that Russia has not managed to capture a single regional center, despite the fact that there are now half a million Russian soldiers on the territory of my country.

Anyway, I am reunited with my family again, I have already chatted on this subject with some of you ... and I want you to know that your kind words mean a lot to me. After the end of the war, I will make every effort to visit all those people who have supported me over the past 12 months. Returning to the topic of discussion, I want to say that people continue to donate white fabric (for camouflage nets), conservation, food, and warm clothes. Among other things, 6 chainsaws, 140 sets of thermal underwear, 50 flashlights, 60 liters of oil for cleaning weapons, 8 walkie-talkies and 12 potbelly stoves were transferred.

~

Let me clear up some of your confusion. When Russians sing Ukrainian songs in concert, it's because Russia and her half-million soldiers don't really want to harm Ukraine. They are simply doing the thing you call an absurdity... responding to the US/Ukrainian government that was attacking Russians (and Ukrainians) in the Donbas (and many other areas).

It isn't that Russia and her half-million soldiers couldn't run right over Ukraine. Rather, it's that they don't want to. They would rather wait for a time when US support fails, and they can re-unite Russian/Ukrainian friends and family.

The fact of all the material support that Ukraine is getting - as you showed in your pics - proves that nobody wants or wanted to harm Ukraine. You, sitting right in the middle of fighting at times, can barely see what is going on in Russia, where the people are both in favor of Russia and against having to fight a war against brothers.

Your real enemy is Zelensky. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437200.msg61808218#msg61808218.

And it should keep Big Pharma from obtaining patents on new ones that are natural, just like Big Pharma can't patent food.


Scientists discover HIDDEN PHARMACY in ancient limestone caves.



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-02-17-scientists-discover-hidden-pharmacy-in-limestone-caves.html
The latest study on moonmilk, a mineral deposit found in caves and known for its curative properties, has led to the discovery of a mysterious compound active against bacteria and resistant to numerous antibiotics.

Since the beginning of time, humanity has been able to make use of the environment for resources, techniques and ideas to protect themselves from diseases and to be responsible for their health. While the effectiveness of definite ancestral practices has been shown and approved by modern medicine, the reasons behind several traditional medicines remain a mystery.

Moonmilk, a crystallization commonly found in different forms such as pasty, dry or liquid in limestone caves, is a speleothem (geological formation of mineral deposits) most often seen in the form of a soft rock depending on its hygrometry.

As reported by Sébastien Rigali, a molecular microbiologist at the Centre for Protein Engineering-CIP (InBios/Faculty of Science) of the University of Liège, there is a great deal of archaeological proof for its use as an anti-infectious agent, mostly in the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

Rigali’s laboratory decided to examine the microbial flora of moonmilk to discover the reasons for its use in human and animal therapy.

The first step was to go into the caves of the Condruzian plateau to search for deposits of moonmilk and to isolate filamentous actinobacteria, the bacteria that are winners in the production of antimicrobial agents. The scientists found several of them, both in number and diversity.

The United States could soon find itself fighting a major two-front war with both Russia and China, considering the way things have been going for the past several weeks.

It was one thing when Russia invaded its neighbor, the corrupt country of Ukraine, almost a year ago, but for some reason known only to our power-mad elites, American taxpayers are supporting Kyiv with showers of money, American military hardware, and weapon systems that we cannot easily replace.

Now, just days ago, a weak, frail Joe Biden finally ordered the U.S. military to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon after it traversed the country but not before it gathered signals intelligence and flew over several highly sensitive bases and nuclear weapons locations.

In short, it appears as though we are the closest we have been to an all-out world war in 80 years, and worse, this next one could turn nuclear in a hurry. With that in mind, it is worth taking a look at each country’s nuclear arsenals and the shape they are in.

“In recent days, Republicans in Congress have been buzzing about a new report ‘from the top commander of U.S. nuclear forces‘ that says that China now has more launchers for land-based nuclear missiles than the U.S. does,” notes The Economic Collapse Blog, which then goes on to cite from a Politico report:

Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are raising alarms over news that China has surpassed the U.S. in its number of launchers for land-based nuclear missiles — and arguing for the U.S. to expand its own arsenal to keep pace.

Four GOP leaders on the House and Senate Armed Services committees said the revelation about China’s nuclear capability, made in a Jan. 26 letter from the top commander of U.S. nuclear forces, is a warning that Beijing’s arsenal is expanding faster than anticipated, though the U.S. still has more warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Zelensky Lashes Out After Starlink Cuts Off Ukrainian Drones



https://www.activistpost.com/2023/02/zelensky-lashes-out-after-starlink-cuts-off-ukrainian-drones.html
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell in a statement asserted that Starlink technology was "never meant to be weaponized". According to BBC, "She made reference to Ukraine's alleged use of Starlink to control drones, and stressed that the equipment had been provided for humanitarian use."

Shotwell confirmed that the "surprise decision" was taken due to it never being the company's intent to allow Starlink to be used "for offensive purposes" in remarks given before a conference in Washington DC. Shotwell further said Ukraine had utilized the technology—

"in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement," according to Reuters.

After Musk provided the Starlink systems, the Ukrainian military quickly became dependent on them given the extreme battlefield conditions, including damage to existent communications infrastructure and frequent power outages. Additionally the Russians would often jam signals, thus Starlink allowed Ukrainian troops to circumvent these factors.

The Wednesday announcement from SpaceX was met with anger in Kiev, after already there's been an avalanche of Ukrainian government criticism aimed at Musk personally over his 'Russia-Ukraine peace poll' offered in October. As Bloomberg observed during that prior spat and tensions, Musk's tweets were "drawing the wrath of Ukrainians" merely for his proposing a negotiated solution which involved territorial concessions for the sake of lasting peace.

Since then the commodity picture has ebbed and flowed, and after commodities experienced a modest bounce following China's unexpected reopening, they have resumed sinking with oil trading just above the Biden admin's (supposed) SPR refill floor of $72, despite a near consensus that Chinese oil demand will hit record highs in 2023.

So has the recent setback dented Goldman's optimism? Not at all: in fact, according to Goldman chief commodity strategist, not only will oil rise back above $100 a barrel this year, it will rise much more in 2024 when it will face a serious supply problem as spare production capacity runs out.

Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, Goldman chief commodity strategist Jeff Currie said that with sanctions likely to cause Russian oil exports to drop and Chinese demand expected to recover as the country ends its Covid Zero policy, prices will rise above $100 from their current level of around $80. Meanwhile, doubling down on his key long-term thesis, Currie said that a lack of spending in the industry on production needed to meet demand will also be a driver of higher prices, and this lack of capacity may become a big issue by 2024.

"The commodity super cycle is a sequence of price spikes with each high higher and each low higher," said Currie, who predicted that by May, oil markets should flip to a deficit of supply compared to demand. That could use up much of the unused capacity global producers have, which will send prices higher.

Currie reiterated Goldman's view that OPEC+ will unwind production limits and look to raise output later this year. An OPEC+ market monitoring committee this month recommended that the group keep oil output unchanged.

"Right now, we're still balanced to a surplus because China has still yet to fully rebound," Currie said. Capacity is likely to become a problem later this year when demand outstrips supply, he said. "Are we going to run out of spare production capacity? Potentially by 2024 you start to have a serious problem."
