Ukrainian army gripped by gambling addiction – MP

90% of soldiers spend their earnings on online casinosand sports betting platforms, Aleksey Goncharenko claims

The Ukrainian army has a huge gambling problem, Aleksey Goncharenko, a senior Ukrainian MP, wrote on his Telegram channel on Thursday. The lawmaker said 90% of soldiers are wasting money in online casinos and on sports betting platforms, instead of saving it for the future.

“This is not just a problem.It’s crazy. 9 out of 10 soldierson the front lines have a casino or gambling problem. Money is lost. Then they take loans. And so it goes in a circle,” he complained. (How do they have time to gamble?)

According to Goncharenko, the problem is severe not only because itis “destroying the military morale”on the frontlines, but because soldiers who lose their earnings willbecome “perfect targets”for the criminal world once they return home penniless.(if they didn’t fill their soldiers with drugs daily, maybe they wouldn’t gamble.)

“Right now, we are simply laundering money out of our country’s budget. But we are also creating a problem for the future,” he warned.

The lawmaker suggested that the situation should be dealt with by the government. He proposed monitoring online gambling platforms and banning military personnel from accessing them. He also offered to reform the local eOselya program, a government initiative that provides affordable housing loans for soldiers, to make it more appealing for them as an investment.

Goncharenko’s statements came in response to a story on Strana.ua (https://strana.ua/) drawing attention to the army’s gambling problem after several angry posts on X (formerly Twitter) by Pavel Petrichenko, a Ukrainian soldier whoaccused authorities of failing to rein in the online casino market.

“I wonder what needs to happen for the epidemic of gambling addiction to be noticed in Ukrainian society and especially in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It was caused by idiots who launched an uncontrolled online casino market.If you decide to legalize this crap, then at least control it,” he wrote on X on Wednesday.

Petrichenko proposed setting up a register of gambling platforms and introducing mandatory verification of players for the duration of the current conflict, so as to block users who receive salaries from the military from accessing such venues.

Ukraine passed legislationlegalizing various forms of online gambling back in 2020. The law allowed online casinos, poker, and sports betting sites to freely operate in the country. According to analysts, due toweak initial policy decisions and corruption, Kiev cannot adequately control the operations or monitor the income of these platforms. As a result, they withhold tens of billions of hryvnias (hundreds of millions of US dollars)they should be paying in taxes from the country’s budget.

(They are more worried about taxes then the gambling addiction they started.How much money do these gambling companies kick back to Kiev?Ban Orthodox Christianity introduce gambling, sounds Satanic to me.)

CERN, D-Wave, and The Mandela Effect

Really interesting, CERN has opened up a portal for things that “mankind is not ready for”, not exactly demons that doesn’t explain how big it is. They have the key to the pit and tap into other dimensions. These people are absolutely evil, they will replace all humans, by bringing in demonic entities. This is a spiritual battle..

The Mandela Effect

The Mandela Effect, a fascinating phenomenon in which people share a collective memory that never happened, has sparked discussions about the nature of memories, reality and even the possibility of parallel universes.

So what exactly causes people—who are not connected to each other—to remember the same inaccurate details about an event or image in pop culture?

Continue reading to learn more about the Mandela Effect, where it originated, common examples, causes and what to do if you or a loved one struggle with false memories.

From Beyond the Wire – The Information War, CBDCs and a Metaphor for Those Who Need

March 28, 2024.1/3

After my latest outline, on the looming probability of a dollar based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) {SEE HERE}, I found myself saying, “I hate to say this, but most people really don’t care. For some, the issue is esoteric, abstract, and difficult to comprehend. For others, there is a massive blanket of comfortable ambivalence until the consequences hit. For the few who understand, this is extremely troubling.”

Then I step back, breathe and reevaluate my ability to communicate.

A few recent comments have me looking for something, anything, that will help people understand the scope and breadth of what I am trying to communicate, and the challenge therein. EXAMPLES:

[COMMENT #1] – I don’t know, this is way over my head, and I consider myself at least somewhat intelligent and informed. Other than a few twenties I keep in my wallet, all money of consequence in my life is already just digits in computer networks as far as I can perceive. I never actually see a check for my wages, much less any dead presidents.

[…] Not that I disagree, I just don’t understand. I’m at a loss as to why this is so qualitatively different as far as my financial security goes. Maybe it’s because I’m a resident of Illinois and have some sort of Stockholm Syndrome from knowing they can already, and do, raise my taxes – as much as they want, any time they want – and there is nothing to stop them. {link}

[COMMENT #2] I apologize for this stupid question, but I’m confused. How do the grey countries fit into this digital money and “world order” Pippa refers to?

Pippa states, “But what I see our superpowers introducing digital currency, the Chinese were the first the US is on the brink, I think of moving in the same direction the Europeans have committed to that as well.”

China is grey on the map, as is Russia. If we, the mapped yellow USA, are being boxed in by the Russian sanctions how is it China is grey yet they were the first to introduce a digital currency? These insane, drunk with power “superpowers” – is their goal to color the entire world map yellow with the SWIFT network digital coin to control the entire world? {link}

You come here for understanding the world that exists, not the one we may hope to exist. If you are confused, I need to do a better job.

So, let me start.

I will start first with some information perhaps some do not know.

♦ Ever since the Western sanctions against Russia were created, an entire new black market of finance has been created in the “grey zone” that circumvents the sanctions and assists the people trapped by them.

Almost no one, sans a handful of people I have met, really have a full scope understanding of what is going on.

You cannot discover this information within the yellow zone. You cannot get this level of comprehension from behind a keyboard safely in your home office or den. You have to put your boots on the ground, take some risks and see exactly how it works. {Example Here}

The Russian sanctions were not created to block the Russians. The Russian sanctions were created to wall-in the West.

There are now networks of people who operate in various places that create proactive financial mechanisms for what you might call, “financial preppers.”

These people and groups set up bank accounts in foreign countries for you; they organize addresses (needed), phone numbers (needed), and create accounts that you can access that are outside the control of the dollar-based financial system. You can even get an official passport in the process.

These people also sell hardware [to support the phone numbers (really digital ids)] that is completely different from what exists behind the wall of the yellow zone.

How many Americans know that an iPhone-15 sold in the USA is completely different from an iPhone-15 sold outside the yellow zone?Meaning, the internal hardware is different. How many Americans know that?

How many Americans know that an iPhone-15 sold inside the USA has different originating software than an iPhone-15 sold outside the USA?

How many people know that when you purchase one of these “ghost phones”, the data network automatically identifies the disparity when the phone crosses into the yellow zone, and shortly thereafter the cellular network transmits a software update to bring the “ghost phone” into USA (yellow zone) compliance?

>>20647355

2/3

How many Americans knowphone apps and internal app functions can exist on phones outside the yellow zone that do not exist inside the yellow zone?

Example: use a ghost phone, and you can access a digital wallet in Telegram; you can transmit funds to other Telegram users. However, use a USA compliant phone and you cannot. The function is there but the service is, “not available in your area.”

Why?

It’s about control.

If you don’t update the software, the function exists inside the yellow zone. However, update the software and the function disappears.

This happens.

Another real-life example was recently missed by many people when the story of the Apple Watch Series 9 was found to have violated patent technology and was banned for sale in the USA. {STORY}

To get into legal compliance, Apple transmitted a remote software updatedisabling the function of the patent technology in the USA. Again, for emphasis, only in the USA. Bring your non-compliant Series-9 into the range of a wifi network, and bingo auto-compliance. I mention this story only to highlight a modern compliance capability that many people do not know exists.

In essence, your tech devices -and the capability therein- are different than an identical tech device sold outside the Western control zone.

♦ Technology is intertwined with Central Bank Digital Currencies. Tech companies are regulated by the U.S/Western government, and the tech companies have to comply. The regulatory compliance is part of the process of control. There are regulatory walls around us that most do not understand. The same regulatory principle applies to finance and banking. Hence, the origination motive of the yellow zone wall, built under the auspices of Russian sanctions.

Let me make one big point resoundingly clear before moving on. When the WESTERN Central Bank Digital Currency system begins, all forms of cryptocurrency will be blocked and made unlawful inside the Western zone – either by regulation or by legislation.

Let me repeat this. Cryptocurrency in all forms will be banned.

Crypto is not technically a currency; it is a barter based on trust. However, at a certain point (origination or end) crypto must have the ability to transfer into currency value. Dollars (or another currency) are needed to purchase BitCoin,…. or BitCoin eventually sold or exchanged for Dollars (or another currency). [BitCoin only used as a familiar type of crypto.] This process is where crypto gets blocked.

Ownership of Crypto may not be unlawful, but any effort to use Crypto as an alternate digital currency to exchange value will be unlawful once the dollar based CBDC is launched.

A fully implemented govt controlled central bank digital currency will not allow competition. Alternate crypto currency will be banned. Without any doubt!

Back to the original questions:

“China is grey on the map, as is Russia. If we, the mapped yellow USA, are being boxed in by the Russian sanctions, how is it China is grey yet they were the first to introduce a digital currency?”

The grey zone can trade amongst themselves however they want; the yellow zone (West) has no capability to stop them. Ex. if Russia wants to trade 1,000 barrels of oil with China for 100 boxes of intel microchips, they can. Or, if China and Russia want to exchange digital yen for digital rubles, they can; the West cannot stop them. However, if China wants to interact with a yellow zone member, the yellow zone financial rule makers have rules. China would have to be compliant with a dollar based CBDC to exchange value within the yellow zone.

Similarly, if you want to exchange a bushel of corn for 10 dozen eggs with your neighbor, you can; there is no mechanism to stop you. However, if you need to pay your mortgage, you will have to be compliant with a dollar based CBDC to exchange value, ie pay your bill.

3/3

Which brings me to the next question:

“All money of consequence in my life is already just digits in computer networksas far as I can perceive. … I’m at a loss as to why this is so qualitatively different as far as my financial security.”

This is the common mistake that most people make.

There is a big difference between “electronic transactions” of dollars, and the existence of a “digital dollar.”

Let me give you a metaphor using a casino as the reference.

♦ CURRENT – You go to the casino window and exchange $10,000 dollars for poker chips valued at $10,000. You give the teller $10,000 in cash, bankers check, money order, a credit card or debit card transaction, and the teller gives you chips worth $10,000 in that casino. You can use the chips gambling and perhaps win more chips. Return to the window with $12,000 in casino chips, and the teller exchanges the chips for $12,000 dollars – cash or check or deposit into your electronic card.

You meet a man in the casino willing to give you his fancy Rolex watch in exchange for $5,000. You give the man $5,000 worth of your poker chips and he gives you his Rolex watch. That man can then go to the teller window and exchange the chips for $5,000 in cash. You have the watch.

♦ DIGITAL DOLLAR – You go to the teller window and produce your bank card containing a digital dollar balance. You exchange $10,000 worth of your digital dollars for $10,ooo dollars’ worth of poker chips. Except this time, with a digital dollar, each poker chip has your fingerprint on it. You spend or bet your poker chips, and each chip you win also arrives to you with your fingerprint on it. You win $12,000 dollars. You return to the window with $12,000 in chips, each with your fingerprint, and the teller uploads your card with $12,000 digital dollars.

You meet a man in the casino willing to give you his fancy Rolex watch in exchange for $5,ooo. However, you cannot give the man your poker chips because they are unique to you and are carrying your fingerprint. If he takes your fingerprint poker chips to the window, his fingerprint does not match the chip; his request for $5,000 in digital dollars would be denied. He cannot sell you his watch. Your transactional capability is limited by the digital fingerprint.

[If he was planning to sell his watch for $5,000 in order to purchase a motorcycle worth $5,ooo, it is possible for you to purchase the motorcycle, exchange it for his watch and then carry on. However, the motorcycle would be digitally registered to you, and you would be digitally registered to the motorcycle. A reconciliation process is needed.]

A digital dollar creates a unique id attached to that digital dollar. Ultimately, the central bank that issues the digital dollar controls what the digital id can do (that’s you), and what those digital dollars can be used for (what you can do).

Digital dollars can be blocked from gun purchases, and digital ids can be used to stop unapproved users from purchasing guns – or a gas guzzling suv, or a house that’s too big, or the non-compliant fridge, or whatever.

Sellers of goods (or information) can have their ids banned from receiving digital dollars, just as VISA and MasterCard blocked sellers of guns from accessing their electronic transaction system. With digital dollars, “demonetization”, an alarmingly familiar modern term, can become a function of a financial regulation system. “Debanking” another alarmingly familiar term, also becomes much easier.

Ultimately, a dollar-based US-Central Bank Digital Currency, ie a “digital dollar,” is about control.

Every transaction has a unique digital fingerprint, and every digital dollar can be traced by the IRS to the digital id associated with it.

There is a BIG difference between electronic funds (current), and a digital dollar (future).

I hope that helps.

Ukraine needs air defense to boost birth rate – Zelensky

More missiles and bomb shelters might motivate Ukrainians to have babies, the president has claimed

Kiev needs more air defense systems to help Ukrainians have more children, President Vladimir Zelensky said on Thursday. Ukraine currently has the lowest fertility rate in the world.

The issue of demographics came up during Zelensky’s meeting with students in Sumy, a city near the border with Russia, when someone asked him if there were plans to financially support new parents.

“We need not only financial incentives, because in my opinion, finances help, but they do not stimulate birth itself during war,”Zelensky said. “Help, yes. But as for births, it seems to me that it’s mainly a matter of security.”

The government should put air-raid shelters in schools and kindergartens, he added, as well as getting “the latest technologies when it comes toair defense” from foreign partners, manufacture them domestically, and “inform the society about this.”

Zelensky further argued that there would be a “baby boom” after the conflict is overand millions of Ukrainians who left the country return from abroad “confident in a better tomorrow and the future of Ukraine.”

Ukraine’s total fertility rate– the average number of babies per woman of child-bearing age –is currently 0.7, the lowest in the world. The country’s demographics have been further affected by a mass exodus to the West and significant casualties on the battlefield, to the point where the very survival of the nation is in question, a government-funded think tank told The Times earlier this year.

“Male life expectancy has decreased from 66-67 before the war to 57-58,”said Ella Libanova, head of the Institute for Demography and Social Studies at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Onlyfour African countries– Chad, Nigeria, Lesotho and the Central African Republic –have lower life expectancies.

Last June, the Ukrainian Institute for the Future (UIF)estimated that only 29 million people remainedin the country – down from 52 million in 1991, when Ukraine declared independence. These estimates also included residents of the regions that joined Russia. The number ofUkrainian refugeesabroad has been estimated by the government atover six million.

WhileKiev has been hopefulthat most of themwould come backeventually, theUIF estimated that the majority had no interest in returning.

(The only reason they all haven’t left, is they mostly live in poverty)

NATO general warns of Russian ‘trap’ for Ukraine

There are no good options for Kiev, a retired French general has said

Moscow has forced Kiev to choose between losing men or territory, according to retired French General Jerome Pellistrandi, the editor-in-chief of the Revue Defense Nationale.

In an interview for the French outlet La Depeche published on Wednesday, Pellistrandi pointed out that Russian forces have made advances ever since the Ukrainians’ chaotic retreat from Avdeevka in mid-February, and are now approaching Chasov Yar and Kharkov.

“Moscow has in fact presented a tactical dilemma to the Ukrainian command, forcing it to choose between protecting territory at the risk of taking significant losses, or retreating and thus giving up ground,” Pellistrandi said.

In addition to advances west of Avdeevka, Russian troops recently took the town of Krasnoe (known in Ukraine as Ivanivske), west of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), the general noted.

“This reflects this desire to exhaust the enemy,” he said. “Moscow knows very well that Kiev lacks [artillery] shells and, by relentlessly shelling these territories, [President Vladimir] Putin is ultimately preventing the Ukrainians from rebuilding their defenses. This is a way of forcing them to give up ground and exhaust their stock of weapons.”

Recent remarks by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu seem to line up with Pellistrandi’s analysis. Speaking to a defense panel last week, Shoigu said the Russian military is pushing the Ukrainians back and not allowing them to fortify new defensive positions. He also estimated Ukraine’scasualties since the beginning of the year at 71,000 menand 11,000 pieces of equipment.

According to Pellistrandi,Russian troops are aiming for both Chasov Yar and Kramatorsk,a key crossroads for Ukrainian logistics in Donbass.Its loss would be “dramatic” for Kievand pose “serious strategic and logistical difficulties,” he said.

Kharkov also came under heavy bombardment last week, Pellistrandi said, adding that Ukraine is on the defensive along the entire front and urgently needs more ammunition.

Revue Defense Nationale is considered France’s preeminent military publication. Founded in 1939, it is traditionally led by a general officer. Pellistrandi has been editor-in-chief since 2014. In 2022, he also joined the French outlet BFMTV as a military expert.

(If they had just signed the peace agreement, none of this would have happened. Russia was not even to try to claim Donbass or Lugansk, they just wanted to them to autonomous peace zone. Now Kiev has lost a lot more territory and 450,000 men dead)

Pentagon claims risk of escalation in Ukraine not as high as before

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Brown doubted if Russia is able to begin a new major offensive operation in Ukraine

WASHINGTON, March 28. /TASS/. The US Department of Defense claimed in regards to the potential shipment of ATACMS ballistic missiles to Kiev that the danger of an escalation in Ukraine is not as high now as it used to be.

"I do sense that the risk of escalation is not as highas maybe it was at the beginning of the process," US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Brown said during a meeting with the Defense Writers Group that TASS is a party to. He commented on the issue of a potential handover of ATACMS missiles from the US to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, theBrown doubtedif Russia is able to begin a new major offensive operation in Ukraine.

"Firstly,I don’t knowif the Russians can generate a major offensive," Brown said.

In his opinion, Russia spent significant resources on the special military operation in Ukraine last year.

(Russia just called up 130,000 conscripts, Brown should read a little. He doesn’t sound like s military leader, too touchy feely.)
