Random person gives his opinion of Israel vs Mali football match, giving credit to Israel team... until interrupted by a "Chosen Person". Random person changes his view quickly.


Diplomatic/consular immunity isn't extended to family, unless you're a Chosen People.

You guys embracing a cashless society are nuts. Sure there are benefits in some scenarios but after what happened with Crowdstrike, all those wonderful machines go down leaving people helpless such as buying anything like food. I always have a stash of cash in case of emergency which I had to rely on right when Crowdstrike struck (i.e. hot water tank).
I mean, fiat currency isn't any better. By all means keep an amount for rainy days. But if society collapses and all your assets are in cash, you're still boned. Stack ammunition and gold or other commodities.

Many banks (and other critical computer infrastructure) have been running on IBM AIX machines for decades now without issue. Imagine if IBM pushed a faulty AIX update (like CrowdStrike did) and crashed the American banking sector. Then you'd be saying we should never have money in banks and should keep all cash on hand.
The reason why CrowdStrike did push out a faulty update and IBM hasn't, has a lot to do with the fact that Windows isn't a very robust OS (because it must support too many different pieces of hardware) and AIX is a robust OS (because IBM supports their own hardware alone).
So, if we just avoid using OS' that should never be used for mission critical purposes (like Windows) and instead use software that is much more robust (like a purpose-built Linux kernel or a UNIX variant like AIX, made for specific hardware), the chances of CrowdStrike happening will be drastically lower.
If the yuan goes digital, I guarantee that the back-end systems (software and hardware) will all be custom-built, with at least as much scrutiny on each patch as IBM puts on AIX. There will be no repeats of the stupid "we didn't test our product before release" CrowdStrike outage.

The global south needs central bank digital currencies thats a fact or else they will allow the CIA to use the real helicopter money. If im not mistaken the money printing machines and chemicals are mostly western devices so i'm sure the CIA will have no issues replicating paper money, I wouldn't be surprised the CIA can just request the printing stamps designs from companies.. With central bank digital currencies you at least know where the money is coming from and its not being printed and helicoptered in by the CIA.

Wouldn't be surprised that this was the reason they were running CBDC psyops the last couple of years. Because if you think about it people in developed nations are already using digital money in the form of debit and credit cards. So going to CBDC will change nothing from that perspective. We have also seen if they want to lock down your account they have no issues these days look at the Canadian truckers and Russia reserves. At least with a multi consensus block chain one party can't block transactions if others approve it.

Fuck, I haven't even considered that age group. Imagine if a Chai Ling equivalent manages to infiltrate and rise through the ranks.
They wouldn't have anywhere close to the support they need to reach such a position. The elected local representatives are the strongest driving force in Chinese politics, as everyone else above relies on them to get chosen. It would be easier for a covert communist to be elected in USA than for a CIA asset to be elected in China, at least the USA guy only needs to fool a collection of oligarchs.

Xi Jinping is as dovish as they can get, as a leader who has once spent time in the US and also advocates towards continued dialogue on equal grounds. It's only gonna be worse for the west from now on.
