This
story fits in so well,
what you said Stalin did, was exactly
what Blockstream people did, they all kicked
out the real people that supported and promoted the actual original idea and system (in this case Bitcoin system) and then using censorship, propaganda and army
of USEFUL IDIOTS to fight their dirty wars, try to take
out the original idea, and replace the system with some other shit that will benefit them.
In his

Soon it branched
out, with the launch
of Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Peace, all designed to counter
what Breitbart described as the «bully media cabal» that ignored

Besides the fact that there was another Michael Hudson
out there writing a Harper's cover
story I wished I'd written, the thing that struck me was your willingness to go beyond a «
what - goes - up - must - come - down» analysis
of the housing run - up.
Here's an interesting Bloomberg piece on
what bond guru Bill Gross is calling «financial repression», but
what you can just call «low interest rates» The big
story is that the world is still crawling
out of a near - depression, and there is not a central banker in the developed world who would dare dream
of pushing interest rates to anything above a number you could count
out on the fingers
of one hand (and seriously, in most countries you could leave
out the thumb and index finger as well).

Well it is true that some people seek sorcerers to implement Jinn that are satanic demons into mankind or his house or his business to finish him or make his life miserable or to stop flow
of his business income... In such case it is either you are religious enough and say your prayers often then it becomes hard for this to harm you or otherwise you need to find some one who practice exorcism to remove this evil... But many are just pretending to be good at it and help you not but squeeze money
out of you with tales and
stories... There is another type
of possessions and that is not through a sorcerer but directly by coincidence
what man is at his weakest moments and those weakest moments for a possessions are when you come through a great fear or when cry or laugh loudly in hysteria, or during a certain moment
of mating... or even when sneezing loudly... That's why there are prayers to be said on daily basis to guard you from such things and specially if passing haunted places such as deserted houses but most evil ones are residents
of public toilets and market places... Some
of them even would claim that you have made a wrong action by which you have killed a dear one to them and for that they have possessed you and that is mostly night time such as throwing a cigaret butt to a dark place or stepping killing an insect or even an animal at night which could have been one
of them or possessed by one

Not much... he could've done the same thing by going in front
of his congregation wearing flesh - colored underwear, sticking his tongue
out, standing up on the baptistry and twerking... then crying foul when he gets fired...
what this tells me is that we're all idiots for being so predictably drawn into these types
of stories... this is shameless self - promotion, plain and simple... and he wins because we're dupes...
But just because the gaslighting pushed me
