Looks like the banks are giving us a taste of life with CBDCs. Maybe it’s time to take BitCoin – being one’s own bank – a bit more seriously.
I would venture to say that precious metals are a better bet. Bitcoin and all the other cryptos rely on the internet, technology and electricity: metal is just metal and doesn’t rely on anything. Silver is probably the better option.
Last time I asked my butcher, baker and LED build suppliers don’t take bullion or even bitcoin.
I get it but that’s not the point, Epping. The point is to have some sort of interchangeable commodity should cash disappear altogether. I don’t expect you to hand over a gold doubloon for a pound of sausages!
They soon will once paper £££ are worth no more than the paper they´re printed on.
Bitcoin may be good, but the government can strangle that by interfering with the Internet – or even electricity supply.
They can´t interfere with copper, silver or gold.
I think Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that utilise blockchain technology are a trap. They are very volatile and when people find themselves suffering large losses they may be susceptible to an offer from central government of an exchange of relatively stable Central Bank Digital Currency for their cryptocurrency. Much better to use cash as much as possible to keep it alive.
Bitcoin will be crushed for the common man once the Cash has gone & the CBDC,s are in place !!
Two down ticks ! Am I off track ?
Just two grumblers, Freddy, nothing to worry about. Your point is fine.
Freddy, some of us have downtick trolls who follow us about on here and downtick every time we post. I couldn’t care less – goes with the job.
There is definitely a gang or gangs who downtick regardless, whether they are 77 or just saddos I don’t know but it doesn’t matter.
Welcome to the club.
11:05 and three downticks – see what I mean?


Jeez hux.. that’s a let off. I’ve just collected 95 for just four posts re my views on Churchill.. haha
Good for the likes of Hungary and Poland. France is a warning to us all. One I doubt will make a blind bit of difference to our leaders. Sweden is talking about cracking down on immigration but that’s definitely a country where the damage has already been done. They now have 60 ”no go areas”.
”The mass riots enveloping France evidence the total failure by Western nations to integrate new arrivals welcomed through years of mass immigration, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has claimed.
Speaking in the Hungarian parliament on Tuesday, the foreign minister said the unsavory scenes witnessed across France following the killing of a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent last week have shown social integration on a mass scale to be unworkable.
“It is impossible to integrate large numbers of illegal immigrants from other cultures,” Szijjártó told colleagues in the chamber.
He added that the latest riots to rock France have vindicated those European countries, including Hungary, which advocate a stricter immigration policy.
“The European bureaucracy has been trying to enforce the migration quota again, like a coup,” Szijjártó said, accusing the European Commission of simply not being able to accept “that the Hungarian people exercised their sovereign right and made a decision regarding the future of Hungary that is contrary to the expectations of the liberal mainstream in Brussels.”

The immigration policy of the EU is clearly a complete disaster – planned as such. Flooding mainly Christian countries with those from countries with alternative views on women, blasphemy, social habits etc is not going to work. Obviously I’m referring to Muslim countries. Don’t get me wrong, I think Muslims are among the most hospitable people on earth, especially to the weary traveller as I so often experienced, but there are those within the Muslim faith who take the Koran as literal truth and the judge, jury and executioner of its teachings and these are the ones who resort to mob violence and gang rapes. To talk of the boat crossings as a negative thing is to invite accusations of racism but now we have all these people here, housed in hotels and army camps and barges and at some point this will be unsustainable. Where will they go then, these young men (of fighting age), bored out of their minds with lots of time on their hands, no money worries and phones? They will start making trouble at some point. Can you imagine how peaceful, sleepy British communities will respond to these bored young men? Including the many Albanians – who quite honestly should be shipped straight back to Albania which, last time I looked, has neither war nor famine, just poverty. The more pushback from EU countries about this the better. The EU needs to be relegated back to a more subservient position anyway, serving the national interests of sovereign nations not trying to impose the will of the few bureaucrat puppets of the shadowy powers that be.
The EU needs to be abolished Aethelred. It is a wholly evil and anti-human institution. Case closed.
I agree on most points but there is a role that the EU can play in trade and commerce between European nations, ensuring a no borders policy and various standards – like electrical plugs and plumbing items etc – and it needs to be limited to that and subservient rather than above nation states. I would say that the people in charge and their agenda is evil but the institution itself can play a passive role as long as it acquires no powers of its own. That needs to be enshrined in its constitution. Get rid of the EU in its entirety and each nation state will be busy making its own standards without some organisation to ensure frictionless trade etc.
It should have stayed the EEC.. a trading block, but it was always destined to turn into the political monster it has once the euro was spawned..
Absolutely.. well said.
Thanks Will.
Morning all….…..
(First…Thanks for the vid ATL about the knife attack in Spain..only got to see it today…shocking)
I am a fan of Victor Orban, and his foreign Secretary… who, along with Russia’s Lavrov, quite often seem like the only adults in the room….
There’s a reason the EU is constantly griping at Hungary, and withholding money from them….because they are straightforward and pragmatic and won’t kow-tow to the many insane agendas forced on them….
Austria is considering following Hungary.
If we can get Czecho, Slovakia, Croatia & Slovenia, to join us, we can re-create the Austrian empire . . .
Well this is a turn up for the books. Doctors actually identifying a causal relationship with the toxic jabs;
”Enlargement of axillary, supraclavicular, or cervical lymph nodes following vaccination with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is more frequent than initially reported, with a rate reaching up to 16% following the second dose of the Moderna mRNA vaccine. Although vaccine-related lymphadenopathy is most often a benign, self-resolving phenomenon, a few cases or B-cell- or T-cell-derived lymphoma were reported in the literature. There are also reports of clinico-pathological features suggestive of lymphoma but which ultimately proved to be caused by a non- malignant condition such as Epstein–Barr infection, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, or histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis (Kikuchi‒Fujimoto disease). So far, these isolated observations did not receive much attention in the medical community as the causal relationship with the vaccine administration was not established. On the other hand, they raise concerns in the lay public, especially among patients with similar experiences.
Although these individual stories do not allow drawing conclusions about a causal relationship between mRNA vaccination and the course of lymphoid malignancies, we may speculate that in occasional cases transformed lymphocytes are stimulated to expand by the strong immunoinflammatory environment elicited in lymph nodes by the mRNA vaccines. Whether or not such hypothesis is confirmed, treating physicians in charge of patients with post-vaccination lymphadenopathy should be reminded to consider in due course the possibility of an underlying or coincidental malignant disorder, as previously recommended in this journal.1 This is important to prevent detrimental diagnostic delays, unjustified patient’s psychological stress, or inadequate treatments.”

Good job, well done. Isn’t the term “climate emergency” an oxymoron? Climate is a long term trend in weather observation, typically averaged over several years – say 20 or 30 at least. By definition, there is no such thing as a long term emergency.
Ian Plimer is a geologist and for some reason looks at geological timescale evidence. In an example he indicates that ‘record’ temperatures since 120,000 years ago might impress him, but not within human lifetimes. The most recent phenomenon he mentions is the Maunder Minimum 300-350 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunder_Minimum).
I’ve a geologist friend who debunked the ‘climate emergency’ in just a few minutes with a pile of geological evidence also.
Wonder why geologists get side lined….??
I’ve been asking my local council about the reasons why they declared a climate emergency in 2019, along with most of the other town, city, district and county councils. They can only mutter ‘UN…IPCC’. They have no idea. They are ignorant of basic facts and are clearly unfit to be in the positions they are in. Good to see some more wheels coming off the bus. Whether or not this makes one iota of difference to the relentless agenda is another thing of course.
Local councils are infiltrated by the wretched ‘Common Purpose’.. hell bent on ensuring Agenda 21/30 is followed no matter the evidence..
Not all, Will. They are mainly infiltrated by ignorance. They play along with the consensus.
Great video..
Thank you very much for the link to the full video. Plimer is a joy to listen to and I never thought I would ever say that about a Professor of Geology!

Imagine this storyline:
You have a new technology which isn’t really performing, but a dearth of other new ideas. The future looks bleak.
So you invent a need (A) for a product using the new tech which will make humongous amounts of cash.
You roll it out, and pocket the cash.
However, that product then simultaneously:
B. makes the thing it was said to prevent worse, and
C. kills and maims a huge number of people through other effects.
Undeterred, you then convince everyone that B is because of new “variants” of A, whilst at the same time persuading everyone that all of C is also caused by A.
You are nearly rumbled when people start to question whether your new money-making thing actually helped, since every measure of health where the new product was used looks much worse than it ever did before.
However, all is not lost.
Encouraged by what the people have swallowed so far, you just tell them that everything would have been a lot worse without it, and the world must be very grateful for what you have done.
And everyone just believes you.
Incredible, isn’t it?

Judge blocks U.S. officials from tech contacts in First Amendment case
As the WaPo is always behind a paywall, this is an article anyone can read…
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/04/judge-limits-biden-administration-contact-with-social-media-firms-00104656
…A federal judge in Louisiana ruled Tuesday that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by censoring unfavorable views on social media over the course of the coronavirus pandemic, calling the efforts “Orwellian.”
U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty also issued a sweeping preliminary injunction barring numerous federal officials and agencies — including Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and all employees of the Justice Department and FBI — from having any contact with social media firms for the purpose of discouraging or removing First Amendment-protected speech…..
Absolutely brilliant and what a fine and brave judge.
A man having a baby suck his nipple is not breastfeeding’” – Gender critical campaigners say…
err..they aren’t gender critical it’s …..
…?.?.?
If a baby is suckling on a human nipple and receiving milk from the nipple it is breast feeding.
That’s all there is to it and the subject is not up for further debate.
Although if it’s a man, it’s chest feeding (gag). Men don’t tend to have breasts.
Exactamundo!
Who controls the world?
According to Author Michael Snyder:
“The Bank for International Settlements… operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system…. a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole…The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations… And that is exactly what we have today… all of us and our national governments are enslaved to debt. This system is governed by the central banks and by the Bank for International Settlements, and it systematically transfers the wealth of the world out of our hands and into the hands of the global elite, see Endnote [xii].” – Michael Snyder, Author

CDC Altered Minnesota Death Certificates that List a Covid Vaccine as a Cause of Death
Someone (who needs to remain anonymous) was able to obtain the death certificates from Minnesota for all deaths that occurred from 2015 to the present, which presented the opportunity to see if the CDC is being entirely honest about the US death data. Unsurprisingly, the CDC is not.

For those who share my views on our situation this is a first class read.
“Equalities chief has bank account shut with no explanation”
This is a terrifying article: it seems all the banks are now combing through their customer lists and weeding out anyone they consider Stonewall and WEF Deficient™. So what do we do – just hang about waiting to be debanked because we’ve donated to the ‘wrong’ charity or givesendgo/legal campaign, or subbed the ‘wrong’ online paper/substack/news outlet? Do the banks have some sort of goodness/creditworthy weighting system – support a few ‘right’ charities or campaigns so you can support the occasional ‘wrong’ one? Does it always have to be support of the Qwerty crowd or does BLM count too (even though it’s been thoroughly discredited)? Is BHF OK but WCH not? Where is the logic – or is that too much to ask these days?
I would say that the banks’ move to debank people has been made far too soon and too eagerly. They could have waited until the agendas had more grip on ordinary people but my take is that ordinary people are horrified by this and won’t stand for it. If parliament is totally toothless in this regard, we can only expect mutterings about things must be done but if there’s any will at all in that house of charlatans, then we can hope that bills will be written to make it illegal to shut down one’s access to one’s own bank account. If their Digital ID nonsense goes ahead, they will link it to our social media and all our comments back to the first moment we started commenting on any platform and so the social credit system will be introduced. Personally, I don’t think this will happen but maybe I’m just naive or an eternal optimist!
I admire your optimism! I can’t see parliament interfering too much, it’s not in their WEF playbook save needing to have us all digitally controlled one way or another. I’m also not sure how us normals will be able to get around it: I’ve got a few quid in various places all of which, it transpires, are in Stonewall’s top 100. Unless and until more companies pull out of their Diversity Scheme with its divisive, illogical and immoral ideological agenda, I suspect this sort of thing will continue apace.
The BHF is definitely NOT OK. The BHF are fully behind the Scamdemic program, even supporting masks and injections for those suffering with heart disease.
The BHF is a blatant and thoroughly corrupted fake charity that is not interested in the least in matters of health.
As I have stated previously – donations to charities are simply secondary taxations of the gullible.
This is a very interesting watch regarding the Nordstream pipeline. What is even more interesting is the absolute silence since this information was made public.
