WEF: Somebody Has To Be In Charge Of Rationing Freedom

That’s why only Central Banks can create digital currencies

The Fed recently put out a white paper, Data Privacy for Digital Asset Systems, which contends that the expectation of privacy in digital currencies (read: CBDCs) stems from misunderstanding how digital systems work.

“Concepts such as the desire for ‘cash-like anonymity’ are based on false underlying assumptions.”, is the crux of it (quick, somebody tell the Monero team, and everybody else already deploying anonymizing protocols and applications for digital assets).

The subtext is that there can be some privacy and confidentiality safeguards built into CBDCs, but at the end of the day those would still be subject to being overridden or dispensed with. The paper doesn’t come out and say that, but it does make oblique references:

“confidentiality implies that collected and stored data is protected from view in some manner, such as obfuscation or access restriction, and available only to authorized actors.”

Which of course makes you wonder who exactly will be authorized and what will their capabilities be? It truly is the trillion dollar question.

WEF: “Hold my beer”

If we keep this paper in mind while we consider the World Economic Forum’s recent article on digital currencies, privacy and freedom, which put a finer point on it, while paying lip service to the desire for privacy in those characteristic WEF-speak euphemisms:

“A digital cash replacement should not enable criminality, but there should be some freedom to transact with complete privacy.”

“Some freedom” implies that any freedom will be subject to approval, because either you have complete freedom, or you don’t.

“Some freedom” coming from the WEF especially, sounds a lot like their “Life in 2030” vision, which is mostly known for point #1: “You’ll own nothing and be happy”.

Point #4 is “You’ll eat much less meat. An occasional treat, not a staple. For the environment, and for your health”.

US Sends Warships, Aircraft Carrier To Israel For Potential 'Support' Operations

NBC's Pentagon correspondent is reporting that the US military is dispatching navy warships as well as an aircraft carrier to waters off Israeli as part of "support" operations.

"The US military is planning to move US Navy ships and US military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning," NBC's Courtney Kube writes. "Movements could start immediately but all the assets will not be in place for several days."

Scenes at Israel's Ben Gurion international airport have shown long lines of frantic Israelis, as well as tourists, seeking to exit the country amid fears of broader war and escalation following the major Saturday attack from Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza.

Likely the coming days will see an exodus of tens of thousands of tourists as well as foreign nationals who reside in Israel. Dual Israeli nationals with places to stay abroad will also likely be seeking to get out.

NBC notes further that non-essential personnel may be leaving the US embassy in Jerusalem:

The U.S. is also working through plans for a possible non-combatant evacuation — helping Americans get out of Israel. Nothing has been decided or ordered but they are working through options, including one that involves putting some Americans on the Navy ships to get them to safety.

Video: Hamas Thanks Ukraine for Selling Them Weapons

Video footage purports to show weapons from Ukraine in the hands of Hamas.

“We thank the Ukrainian authorities for selling us these weapons,” the man behind the camera says, according to multiple translations.

“We will use this weapon against you, enemies,” he went on. “We will use it against Israel.”

Biden Wants Whopping $100Bn Aid Package for Ukraine.

The Biden government is planning a whopping $100bn aid package for Ukraine, in an effort to fund the war until the 2024 presidential election and avoid any potential impasse with Republican congressmen.

Biden himself is expected to ask Congress to provide Ukraine with the amount that would nearly double America’s existing commitments of over $113 billion over four congressionally-approved war packages since the war began in February 2022.

The idea is apparently “firmly supported by many throughout the administration,” according to one Biden official, who added, “[s]upporters of Ukraine want this to be a one-and-done big bill, and then not have to deal with it until after the next election.”

Biden will, however, wait until a new Speaker of the House is appointed until any deal is finalized, with voting set to begin later this week.

The Biden government is currently considering a range of options to secure funding for the war, such as using a State Department grant program to send additional military aid.

Elon Musk Endorses Pro-Palestinian Terror Account on X/Twitter

Tesla CEO and Elon Musk has endorsed a pro-Palestinian terror account on his X/Twitter platform, claiming the “War Monitor” account, which puts Israel in quote marks as it argues there is “no such thing,” and refers to Palestinian terrorists as “resistance fighters,” is a good source for “following the war in real-time.”

“For following the war in real-time, @WarMonitors & @sentdefender are good,” Musk wrote Sunday on X/Twitter. “It is also worth following direct sources on the ground. Please add interesting options in replies below.”

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/10/08/elon-musk-endorses-pro-palestinian-terror-account-on-x-twitter/

No way they didn't know this was coming.

This gives Israel grounds to attack all it's neighbors and steal land.

It also will be used to trigger terror cells in the west as they all fall over themselves to fund and back their Israeli masters.

Biden Pardons New York Times Writer Charged as Iran Agent as New ‘Influence Operation’ Exposed

The frequent New York Times contributor pardoned by US President Joe Biden after being charged as a paid foreign agent of Iran says he’s planning to return to teaching.

“I am planning to resume teaching American politics and international relations as I did most recently in 2022 at Umass Boston,” Kaveh Afrasiabi told The Algemeiner by email.

The New York Times, which published more than a dozen articles and letters to the editor by Afrasiabi, finally acknowledged the federal criminal charges against him only in the context of a report that he was among five Iranians included in a prisoner swap deal in which five Americans were freed by Iran and the United States released $6 billion to Iran. The Times article did not mention Afrasiabi’s work published in the newspaper, and it inaccurately described the charges against him as “being an unregistered lobbyist.”

Biden’s “full pardon” of Afrasiabi, issued on Sept. 14, includes four terms. It says Afrasiabi “shall not commit any additional crime against the United States,” that he waives any claims against the US or its employees, that he waives any claims to funds already seized, and that he “shall not accept or otherwise receive any financial benefit directly or indirectly, in any manner or amount, from any book, movie, or any publication or production, in any form or media, about his situation.”

Violating the conditions could void the pardon, Biden warned. However, even those conditions may not be sufficient to satisfy critics of the prisoner swap deal with Iran. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), for example, wrote to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arguing he should “reverse” the deal, which “encourages Iran to take more hostages and gifts the regime billions of dollars. If the deal isn’t reversed, you should at a minimum remove all Iranian agents from American soil.”

Afrasiabi was arrested in January 2021. He acknowledged to The Algemeiner that he was paid by the Iranian mission at the United Nations. He pleaded not guilty, arguing that he was and is “an agent of peace committed to US-Iran reconciliation and peace and dialogue” and that his writing was motivated solely by his “moral responsibility as an intellectual.”

The presidential pardon of Afrasiabi came as a new scandal was erupting over undisclosed Iranian influence in American media and universities. This time around, at least some figures at the New York Times are taking a more transparent approach.

In a New York Times column published on Tuesday, Bret Stephens described “a high-level informal influence operation, involving a handful of scholars of Iranian descent, that was conceived and manipulated by the Iranian regime.” Stephens added: “Over several years, the trio wrote guest essays (including in the Times) and gave scores of interviews to major Western media outlets, making them unusually influential in the debates about Iran.” That’s more candor than the Times has had with its readers about Afrasiabi, who, unlike the trio mentioned by Stephens, faced federal criminal charges and acknowledged being paid by the Iranian UN mission.

In Facebook posts, Afrasiabi has offered a mixed reaction to the latest flap, which involves Ali Vaez, Dina Esfandiary, and Ariane Tabatabai and surfaced in a report by Semafor. “I never took these mediocre academics seriously, can’t figure out why US does?” Afrasiabi wrote. In a follow-up post, he added, “I am horrified at the McCarthyite witch hunt against three young Iran experts.”

In a thread on X/Twitter, Esfandiary insisted, “The Iranian government never directed any of my work or articles.” She also said, “The Iranian government never paid for me or any of my colleagues to meet with them.”

Death toll from Hamas onslaught passes 700, over 100 kidnapped, as Israel strikes Gaza

Israel’s counterterrorism expert who predicted the Hamas invasion

MK Edelstein tells Post ‘Hamas carried out the terrorist attack, but Iran is the one behind this shocking murder of dozens of innocent Israeli women, children and men’.

A little over a month ago, a former counter-terrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers authored a prescient essay, outlining an invasion of the Hamas terrorist movement into Israel.

Yigal Carmon, the founder and president of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), wrote on August 31, in a piece titled the “Signs Of Possible War In September-October,” that “there has been an increase in efforts by Iran and Hezbollah to smuggle weapons into the West Bank, similar to the smuggling of weapons into Gaza.

“Lately,” he continued, “there have been growing indications that a war against Israel may break out in September or October. The trigger may be spiraling violent clashes resulting in many casualties, or the use of new weapons leading to many fatalities on the Israeli side,” wrote Carmon, who worked to combat terrorism for Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin.

He also noted the recent reports about “the potential use of new weapons by Hezbollah, Hamas, and the PIJ that can cause a large number of Israeli fatalities, such as extra-powerful explosive charges and rockets fired on Israeli localities… In this situation, Israel will likely be compelled to undertake a large-scale response, above and beyond its routine counterterrorism measures, even at the cost of an all-out war.”

PIJ secretary-general Ziad Al-Nakhaleh said that, during his June meeting with Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei, the latter had “reiterated [the need to] develop the arming of the West Bank and the resistance there.”

Nakhaleh added that “We, as Palestinians and as resistance forces and movements, understand the importance of arming the West Bank, but this requires efforts by the Palestinians themselves, and also the assistance of our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Dividing Lines on Israel/Palestine

Breitbart editor-at-large Joel Pollak on Saturday announced he was breaking Sabbath to call for genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza while Andrew Tate is raising money for Palestinian civilians and tweeting "Allah commands justice."

"I have broken the Sabbath and Jewish holiday to deliver this message: Israel should wipe out Gaza," Pollak said. "Allow 48 hours to evacuate women, children and the elderly. Destroy everything that remains, plow it under, and annex it to Israel. This is the end for Hamas and Palestinian terror."

Is the Gaza-Israel Fighting “A False Flag”? They Let it Happen? Their Objective is “to Wipe Gaza off the Map”?

Read below the incisive analysis by Dr. Philip Giraldi pointing to the likelihood of a “False Flag’ which was posted on his Facebook page.

.

***

.

Am I the only one who read about a speech given by Netanyahu or someone in his cabinet about a week ago in which he/they in passing referred to a “developing security situation” which rather suggests (to me) that they might have known about developments in Gaza and chose to let it happen so they can wipe Gaza off the map in retaliation and, possibly relying on the US pledge to have Israel’s “back,” then implicating Iran and attacking that country.

.

I cannot find a link to it, but have a fairly strong recollection of what I read as I thought at the time it would serve as a pretext for another massacre of Palestinians.

.

As a former intelligence officer, I find it impossible to believe that Israel did not have multiple informants inside Gaza as well as electronic listening devices all along the border wall which would have picked up movements of groups and vehicles.

.

In other words, the whole thing might be a tissue of lies as is often the case.

.

And as is also ALWAYS the case Joe Biden is preparing to send some billions of dollars to poor little Israel to pay for “defending” itself.

Ukraine’s Zelensky Attempted to Hire Terrorists in Iraq: Leaked Documents

Details of the recent Ukrainian-Iraqi talks have appeared in the Middle Eastern media. According to almasryalyoum.com, on September 27, a YouTube video appeared, which claims that Ukrainian president Zelenskyy has been trying to recruit certain Iraqi prisoners into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the video, the prisoners in question are convicted terrorists and ISIS fighters. The author of the video is Hassan Fadel, who introduced himself as a former employee of the Foreign Ministry of Iraq, working there as a secretary from 2019 to 2023 before leaving the country.

https://youtu.be/DLjh-1eVfDE

“My name is Hassan Fadel and I am a former employee of a Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Iraq. I worked as a secretary there from 2019 to 2023. I discovered this note in April of this year when Ukrainian diplomats gave it to my colleagues. I am deeply outraged by the contents of this note and would like to make it public, because “the fighters experienced in fighting Russians” mentioned in it are former ISIS fighters detained in prison facilities around Iraq. I resigned from the Ministry and left Iraq with my family, so I don’t know what our response was. Still, I don’t want to see these people free, especially armed. ISIS are murderers and terrorists, and they should stay imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Many countries support Ukraine right now and allow it to break international laws. Still, aiding terrorists is too much and shouldn’t be allowed. I am also appalled by the American involvement in this. General McFarlane mentioned in the note is the commander of American Joint Task Force in Iraq. It is simply shocking how easily the issues of the movement of Iraqi prisoners, especially terrorists, can be resolved without the participation of representatives of our country.”

In mid-April 2023, a meeting was held in Baghdad between representatives of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry headed by Fuad Hussein and a Ukrainian delegation headed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. After the meeting, the politicians spoke to the press, making a number of statements about the development of cooperation between the countries and the desire to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.

==No, the Hamas Invasion Was Not an Israeli ‘Intelligence Failure’=

One would have to be almost hopelessly naïve to buy the corporate state media line that the Hamas invasion yesterday morning was an Israeli “intelligence failure.”

Mossad is one of, if not the, most powerful intelligence agencies on the planet. It routinely shares intelligence, furthermore, with the “Five Eyes” intelligence services.

It has its tentacles deep inside of every ally and foe of import. Its spies are littered across the Gaza Strip, which is an effective open-air prison into which goods do not flow but for the blessing of the Israeli state. The Gaza Strip is arguably the most heavily surveilled geographic area on Earth.

The Hamas invasion of Southern Israel yesterday was an operation involving tens of thousands of operatives, at least, across land, sea, and air, using all manner of equipment and weaponry – drones, thousands of rockets, countless firearms, and even bulldozers that were positioned to knock down Israeli fencing.

No, the Hamas Invasion Was Not an Israeli ‘Intelligence Failure’

Bibi Netanyahu was in real political trouble before this conveniently timed invasion. Now, or at least this is the hope, Israelis will rally around the flag for some patriotic Palestinian ass-kicking and their Prime Minister’s imminently obvious corruption will be, at least temporarily, forgotten, if not forgiven.

Meanwhile, Israeli intelligence, rather than being punished for its “failure,” will use its “failure” as a pretext to garner more funding and more authorities for itself so as to prevent another such “failure.” The Hamas invasion was only a “failure” if one believes the goal of Mossad is to protect Israeli civilians rather than accrue more power for itself.

‘We Unearthed Bombshell Revelations’: Serious IRS Move Against Christians

‘Why in the world does it have 26,000 pages of documents related to the Word of God?’

The Internal Revenue Service, during the Barack Obama administration, infamously targeted Christian and conservative groups, denying them tax status so they had to withhold their comments about what was happening to the nation during that election year.

And a recent Newsweek investigation revealed that the FBI has a new classification for those it suspects of harboring “domestic terrorist” components, MAGA supporters, many of whom are Christian.

Now a report from the American Center for Law and Justice reveals that the IRS still is at it, as litigation involving the federal service has revealed it has 345,000 pages of documents “related to targeting Christians.”

In fact, the litigation shows more than 56,000 pages of IRS documents relating to the “Bible,” 115,000 relating to “Christian,” 26,000 relating to “Word of God” and 50,000 relating to “prayer.”

The ACLJ reported, “Just as Newsweek broke the story that the FBI is targeting MAGA supporters of Donald Trump as the 2024 presidential election nears, we unearthed bombshell revelations in our FOIA lawsuit showing that the Biden IRS is also targeting Christians.”

The report explained that Joe Biden and FBI chief Christopher Wray both have a “history of targeting conservatives and Christians, which the ACLJ recently proved in another FOIA lawsuit against the Deep State FBI.”

It cited the Newsweek reporting that confirmed, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.”

he ACLJ reported, “Such a report by Newsweek is unsurprising because of the Biden administration’s past transgressions of targeting political opposition. The ACLJ knows firsthand about the Deep State’s tactics after the IRS Tea Party targeting and, more recently, from the FOIA lawsuit we filed against the IRS after we found out the IRS was now targeting Christian groups, refusing to grant them tax-exempt status.”

Because of its earlier confrontations with the IRS over the agency’s discrimination against Christian groups, the ACLJ sought a long list of documents.

“We specifically asked for documents related to ‘Word of God,’ ‘Bible,’ ‘Christian,’ ‘Prayer,’ etc., the group said. When the Biden administration refused to comply a lawsuit was filed.

While the case still isn’t resolved, the ACLJ said, “We now know the IRS has 345,000 pages of documents related to targeting Christians. But the list of the terms involved and the sheer volume of documents are shocking. Regarding the term Word of God, the IRS has 26,000 pages of documents, and regarding Prayer, the IRS has over 50,000 pages of documents!”

The organization wondered, “Why in the world does the IRS have 26,000 pages of documents related to the ‘Word of God?’ We have caught the IRS red-handed in its unlawful targeting of Christian groups. We aren’t buying the IRS’s complaints about the volume of documents, so we are going back to court to ensure we receive all the needed documents.”

The report said, “Christians should be outraged to know that their federal government violated religious liberty in such an egregious fashion.”

Seems like only yesterday that Jews in Israel were spitting on Christians in the street.

Now they want Christian nations to send them aid

Muslim preacher calls violence 'day of courage'

Palestinian supporters in western Sydney have celebrated the abhorrent terror attacks on Israel by Hamas.

A large crowd gathered outside Lakemba Station on Sunday night, just one day after at least 600 Israeli civilians were killed and thousands more injured in the largest and most well co-ordinated strike on the Jewish state in 50 years.

But with the world reeling, some Australians cheered on the violence in a confronting show of support for the terror group, while in nearby Greenacre fireworks were shot from a ute flying the Palestinian flag.

'I'm smiling and I'm happy. I'm elated,' Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun told the crowd.

'It's a day of courage. It's a day of pride. It's a day of victory. This is the day we've been waiting for!' he shouted as the mob who chanted 'Allahu Akbar' or God is great in Arabic.
