Regarding your last point, re: RBNZ

Media Questions for Adrian Orr: 22 April: BIS's Agustín Carstens, CBDCs & control.

Were you aware our Beloved Great Financial Leader said to Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Select Committee:

"It's a great time to be a central banker. We print money, and people believe it. Touch wood."

See him in action here:

I save all the coins I get in change.

I also have acquired some other coins physical - not too much.

I consider them sort of an insurance policy.

When I was on a recent excursion, I paid for everything with cash - it made the transactions so much easier and it was more personal in way - no digital aspect to using cold hard cash - and the proprietors appreciated this I think

~

It a win-win - so fuck digital currencies and CBDC is DEAD already....they just don't know yet, but all the pilot test, such as the one in Nigeria - were complete failures. No wonder they are starting to feel the fear they have been giving to others for far too long.

Buffalo_Ken, thanks for reminding us of the Nigerian experiment in digital currency, given we’re in this global economy that the banks are trying to “digify” (hah! Spell-check recommended “dignify”). The commodity-rich nations of Africa no longer will trade their riches for vapor-cash from nations that will reap the benefits in the value-added paradigm. Though I’m white, I want to be African-American in that regard.

I got no standing in New Zealand, but I do love this song speaks of Aukland - on the 2nd link....

This one as well on the same album - this one is the one that matters the most:

I hope New Zealand and Australia refute the elitist with strong will in refutation of bad ideas evident.

I got a story I'm telling about the future - but first things first - time to refute fake money fiat - it is flawed no doubt.

It was unbelievable. Two presenters, one male and nervous one female (and South African) and unable to answer any questions. Those listening and signed in via Microsoft (I rang through) had excellent questions and were generally a lot more knowledgeable about CBDCs than the two RBNZ presenters were. The standard responses to these excellent questions were “that’s a good question”, “we’d like to know what you think” (it was clear what everyone thought) and “choice”, “you will still be able to use cash” etc etc. They didn’t expect to have anything going for a few years and if the implementtation is going to be left to these two then that will be a farce.

Yes that singer was a one hit wonder more or less. And died a while ago.

If I joined that link I would be an outsider and nobody would give me any heed cause none would be deserved - but there might come a time when we are on a call together and if that happens Richard - I look forward to it.

CBDC conceptually is "dead man walking" - they know it - we know it - and now they are starting to get some of the fear they been pushing - tis deserved.

You’re from SA right? Plenty of immigrants from that part of the world here.

I’m from NC. Duh.

Not so many from NC here Ken. But I thought I’d seen you mentioning South Africa and assumed that’s where you were from. Still there are many Americans even here in Dunedin.

Sounds like greats advice for Americans, too. No cards, just cash, and out of banks and into credit unions.

Hear, hear! The planet should stay with cash until We get free energy tech out from the psychopaths' grip and thereby eliminate the point of accounting for Our energy at all (the foundational function of all money). This will strip the psychopaths of Their power over Us - the slave-chains of money is what gives Them power over Us. Needless to say, the psychopaths know that free energy will take Their power away to the point that They have no more power than You or Me. It is why They deny it and hide it.

Great pushback on the pronoun thing. I seriously cannot believe it.

Albanese "in the closet?" You mean gay? I heard he frequented "massage parlors". What is your evidence that he's gay assuming that's what you mean?

Richard Seager's avatar

I’m sure that he does frequent massage parlours. Kings Cross or Paddington though?

If he was gay it would not bother me as he’d be his own man. But he’s in the closet so he’s not, he’s completely owned.

My impression was women. But why do you say, "in the closet". What's your reason?

Expand full comment
Richard Seager's avatar

It’s an impression as well although I don’t think that I’m the only one who has it. The issue is that he might be easily manipulated in an environment where he himself is not totally comfortable.

I wouldn't speak of "in the closet" unless I had some good information. Not that it matters, of course, except as you say, if you're behaving in some way hidden it can be used to manipulate you.

That is why as that philosopher from Greece said - can't remember which one - he expressed this truism - be true to thee own self.

Was is Plato, Socrates or Aristotle said that?

So, getting a bit off topic consider Macron's partner in this regard as well as Obama's. They are hiding and pushing at the same time - tis a recipe for Justified Retribution upon them direct and forcefully for those who are not true and present themselves as leaders. They evidently are imposters living lives of ignominy - and to think, all they need to do was be honest about their sexual proclivities - but instead they thought they could be tricksters - that spells death direct for them that have caused all this harm - and the harm they cause upon the gay community is manifold - they will be hung up in justice.

Come out of the closet and be honest and then maybe you get heed - but otherwise you prove yourself to be a trickster and ashamed of what you are and to present yourself as something you are not speaks to consequences on the way.

I simply cannot see any evidence for Michelle Obama being a man at least the photos of her as a child show her as looking like a girl. She could be one of the 1.7% of people born intersex but does she really need to out herself for that? I guess it's always good when prominent people out themselves to normalise stigmatised conditions but I don't necessarily see it as an obligation. Also, there can be a situation of the right time too and then when the right time has passed it's kind of too late. What Obama was responsible for under his regime is far more to worry about than Michelle's sexual status.

I figure it’s possible to be ‘in the closet’ if you’re straight btw. Imagine that this happens quite a lot if you’re bought up by two lesbians or two gay guys.

Your reply would have stunned Tax Entity, Suma Sumer. She/he/her/him thought everything was

presented in a politically correct manner and here comes a response that threw a spanner in the

works! This may have caused a serious meltdown and time-out on the taxpayer’s generosity may

be called for.
