Book Review

Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town

by Paul Theroux

Two decades ago, the novelist and travel writer Paul Theroux took an overland trip through Africa, starting in Cairo, Egypt and ending in Cape Town, South Africa. This certainly isn’t the safest or the most comfortable means of experiencing the supposed “dark continent”, but it makes for some interesting experiences and insights. Keeping in mind that Theroux’s observations are just one point of view among many, his resulting book Dark Star provides a unique look at a region of the world that holds a permanent place off the beaten path.

While Dark Star is an easy book to read, breaking it down into its individual elements is a good way to approach its merits and examine its flaws. The first element of importance is Theroux’s sense of place. Wherever he goes, the author describes what he sees and the vibe he gets from his surroundings. Starting on the tourist trail in Egypt, he heads south through Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, and South Africa. You quickly get a sense of what he appreciates and what he doesn’t. He doesn’t like sites that are swarmed with tourists, nor does he like cities with their concentrations of crime and poverty. He also doesn’t like the “death traps” as he calls public transportation which are usually over-croded minivans driven at dangerous speeds on poorly maintained roads, pockmarked with hippopotamus-sized potholes. If you’ve ever traveled in a Third World country, you will know exaclt what he is talking about.

The places that Theroux does like are usually rural, especially farm lands or jungle villages. These are the places where he sees Africans at their best, meaning Africans being Africans in the absence of corrupt and filthy cities built up on the foundations of European colonialism. Some of the book’s best passages involve descriptions of the pyramids in Sudan which are rarely seen by tourists, a boat trip across Lake Victoria, another boat trip from Malawi across the Zambezi over the border into Zimbabwe, and the pristine countrysides of Zimbabwe and South Africa. All places, whether Theroux likes them or not, are described with language that is clear, simple, and direct, making it easy to visualize what he sees.

Another element that is done to near perfection is writings about the people. Theroux talks with tour guides, people on the streets and in the villages, farmers, nuns, educators, government officials, Indian businessmen, prostitutes, authors, intellectuals, and ordinary people. Just like with the places he goes, he describes these people vividly with precision so that you feel like you quickly get to know them. But not everyone is to his liking. He gets into small argument with a fanatical Rastafarian in Ethiopia, a little ornery with physically fit young men who refuse to work, government officials who demand bribes to do their jobs, and he really gives a hard time to a young American missionary woman about the psychological damage that her evangelical ministry is doing to the local people. There is also plenty of anger directed at clueless tourists as well as NGO and charity workers who he sees as being the Westerners who do the most damage to Africa.

The third element of importance is the author, Paul Theroux himself, and his thoughts and commentaries on everything he sees. Before getting into this subject, it should be mentioned that Theroux had a purpose to his journey. In the 1960s he worked as a Peace Corps volunteer, teaching in Malawi. After getting involved with a Leftist political group, he got fired then accepted a teaching position at a college in Uganda. He wanted to return and see what results, if any, his contributions to Africa grew into. What he found was a major disappointment. The charming campuses and villages where he had lived were in ruins and instead of a thriving civilization, he saw emaciated beggars, starving children, an ignorant populace, and chronically corrupt politicians. Shops that were formerly owned by Indian immigrants were abandoned and burnt to the ground, the result of a campaign of ethnic cleansing. African people wanted to buy from shops owned by Africans, but Africans never took control over the businesses after the Indians were killed or chased away. They resorted to begging, theft, petty crime, prostitution, and laziness instead of making an effort to build better villages for themselves. Due to the hopelessness of African society, the most educated citizens fled to America or Europe instead of staying in their home countries where they were most needed.

Throughout his travels in Tanzania, Uganda, and Malawi, Theroux gets increasingly bitter and cynical. He wanted to see Africans thriving and they weren’t. He directs all his wrath towards the Western charities and NGOs who he says are making the local people dependent on aid rather than learning how to run their societies for themselves. Even worse, these organizations work by bribing corrupt politicians to allow them to do work there, keeping greedy and psychotic leaders in positions of power they don’t deserve. Theroux points out that rural people who have given up on the hopeless market economy and returned to subsistence farming are the happiest and healthiest Africans he encounters. Heecomes close to advocating for a type of post-capitalist agrarian anarchism.

Some readers have criticized Theroux for his pessimistic views on contemporary Africa, but he does cite studies that support what he says. He also encounters a lot of Africans in several different countries that agree with him. To make sense of his negativity, you also have to remember that traveling overland through Africa is not exactly stress free. Anybody who has been on an extended backpacking trip anywhere in the world will tell you that traveler’s fatigue is a real thing. Theroux took a longer than average trip through one of the most underdeveloped regions in the world, got shot at by Somali bandits, stuck in the middle of nowhere when his transportation broke down, and got sick with food poisoning, magnifying his traveler’s fatigue to a outsize extent. These circumstances would make you grouchy too. But even in the darkest times, Theroux never loses his appreciation for Africa, the wildlife, the landscapes, and the people who are trying to make the best of their situations. Besides, by the time he crosses the river from Malawi into Zimbabwe, his mood really lightens up.

Dark Star is an engaging travelogue that should be read both critically and with an open mind. All the while, remember that this is Paul Theroux’s singular point of view. That doesn’t make it wrong; that just means that there are other points of view to take into account that may go against what he says even if they don’t necessarily invalidate his opinions. He saw what he saw and he expresses it well. This is raw and honest travel writing and if you haven’t been tough enough to make the same kind of journey, you’re not in a good place to be judgmental of the conclusions he draws.

The Boogeyman of Baltimore 1951

The summer of 1951 was a weird time in the city of Baltimore. The city sweltered under a heat wave and only the wealthiest residents of the region could afford air conditioners at the time. And there were no air conditioners to be found in O’Donnell Heights, a housing project on the southwest side of the city. This was a place where steel mill and shipyard workers lived with their families. For those folks, though, the steamy heat was less of a worry than the specter that was stalking their streets.

At some point in July, a tall, thin figure, dressed all in black, began sprinting across the rooftops of O’Donnell Heights. It leaps on and off buildings, broke into houses, attacked people, enticed a young girl to crawl under a car and played music in the nearby graveyard. Groups of young men patrolled the streets, while others waited by their windows at night, keeping a sleepy watch for the “Phantom Prowler” that eluded his pursuers and vanished into the cemetery before he could be caught. By the end of the month, police were arresting people for disorderly conduct and carrying weapons, but the phantom had disappeared and was never seen again. What in the hell happened in O’Donnell Heights in the summer of 1951? To this day, no one knows.

O’Donnell Heights was only eight years old when the mysterious stranger began making his appearances. Built as a housing project for defense industry workers at Bethlehem Steel, Martin Aircraft and Edgewood Arsenal during World War II, it was never meant to be either durable or attractive. Tightly-spaced, two–story row houses went up on sixty-six acres of what used to be farmland, a brickyard that belonged to the Baltimore Brick Co. and part of St. Stanislaus Kostka Cemetery, one of several graveyards in the immediate area. The others included Evangelical Trinity Lutheran Congregational, Mount Carmel, St. Matthew’s and Oheb Shalom Congregation Cemetery, but the phantom would show an affinity for St. Stanislaus and often appeared nearby.

By the time that the local newspapers realized that something very strange was happening in the Heights, the panic was almost over. Most of the stories that remain today come from the back pages of the Baltimore Sun and Evening Sun, which printed a handful of articles between July 25 and July 27, when the sightings came to an end. Reporters approached it as a “tongue in cheek” story with cartoon illustrations. No one seemed to know when the events had started, but on July 24, Agnes Martin told a reporter that the phantom had been seen for “at least two or three weeks.”

The first definite date discovered by researcher Robert Damon Schneck was on July 19, although the figure had undoubtedly been seen a number of times prior to that. On this date, though, there was a full moon and nighttime temperatures were in the 70’s. It was around 1:00 a.m. when William Buskirk, 20, ran into the phantom. He reported, “I was walking along the 1100 block of Travers Way with several buddies when I saw him on a roof. He jumped off the roof and we chased him into the graveyard…”

One of the other boys interviewed with Buskirk stated that, “he sure is an athlete. You should have seen him go over that fence – just like a cat.” The fence that surrounded the cemetery was six feet in height and trimmed with barbed wire around the top. According to the witnesses, the figure in black had leapt over it with ease.

Hazel Jenkins claimed that the phantom grabbed her some time the same week. She saw it twice at close-range and may have been attacked when the figure tried to break into the Jenkins home but her brother, Randolph, saw it soon after. He told a reporter, “I saw him two nights after he tried to break into our house… He was just beginning to climb up on the roof of the Community Building. We chased him all the way to Graveyard Hell.”

The phantom next visited the family of Melvin Hensler, breaking into their house on July 20, but stealing nothing. After this unnerving experience, the family went to stay with Mr. Hensler’s brother, but Mrs. Hensler returned to the house the next day and found “a potato bag left on the ironing board,” which she was convinced belonged to the intruder. Mr. Hensler was so exhausted from staying awake that his eyes ached and he had started talking in his sleep.

Storms on July 23 lowered the temperatures, but had no effect on the phantom. In fact, on July 24, he was especially active. Newspapers reported, “At 11:30 p.m. officers Robert Clark and Edward Powell were called to the O’Donnell Heights area where they were greeted by some 200 people who said that had seen the oft-reported ‘phantom.’ Clark said that they pointed to the rooftops and someone yelled: ‘The phantom’s there!’” The police drove around and arrested a twenty-year-old sailor carrying a hammer. He was fined $5.

A reporter from the Sun found thirty of forty people waiting around the back stoop of a house on Gusryan Street, waiting for the sun to come up. One of them, Charles Pittinger, had armed himself with a shotgun. He interviewed several of them, who passed along rumors and told of their own experiences. Some of them claimed the phantom lived in the graveyard and a woman who lived on Wellsbach Way, adjacent to St.

Stanislaus, suggested that the phantom was doing more than jumping fences and breaking into houses: “One night I heard someone playing the organ in that chapel up there. It was about 1 o’clock.”

The phantom was also reportedly seen beckoning to Esther Martin from underneath an automobile, saying, “Come here, little girl.”

The consensus of the crowd was that the phantom easily leaped from two-story buildings, flew over fences and was a general nuisance in the neighborhood. A man named George Cook admitted having mixed feelings about what was happening. He did not deny the reports of the phantom, just the possibility that something extraordinary was involved. In the end, he blamed the media. “It’s ridiculous to believe that a man can jump from a height and not leave a mark on the ground. Yet this character does it all the time. It’s my idea that when this thing is cleared up… it’ll turn out to be one of these young hoodlums who has got the idea from the movies or the so-called funny papers, and is trying to act it out. This sort of thing appeals to detective story readers who are mainly looking for excitement.”

Meanwhile, the police were busy ignoring the phantom and rounding up the “usual suspects.” On the morning of July 25, they arrested four boys on disorderly conduct charges at an unidentified cemetery. Around 10:00 p.m. that same night, officers arrested three boys on an embankment near the cemetery. Their six companions, all on the lookout for the phantom, fled the scene. An hour later, the police responded to a call from a resident who heard footsteps on his roof, but nothing was found. At some point the next day, Mrs. Mildred Gaines heard the sound of someone trying to break into her house and ran outside barefoot screaming, “It’s the phantom!” It was actually the police breaking down the door to serve a search warrant on the premises. Mrs. Gaines and four male companions were arrested on bookmaking charges.

By this time, the newspaper coverage – which had started off with reporters as baffled as the residents of O’Donnell Heights – turned humorous. The stories poked fun at the sightings, reported pranks by neighbors pretending to be the phantom, and carried a story about a phantom sighting on a rooftop that turned out to be a ventilation pipe. On July 27, the Evening Sun announced there were no more reports and that, “Police think it might be a teenager.” The phantom was gone, but the heat was back, with high humidity and temperatures in the middle 90’s.

Like most bizarre “flaps” of this type, there was no satisfying resolution to the panic created by the Phantom of O’Donnell Heights. An unofficial version claimed that residents finally chased it into the cemetery, where the phantom jumped into a crypt and vanished for good.

No one can say who, or what, this figure may have been, although based on the sheer number of sightings, something weird was happening in the neighborhood. Descriptions of the phantom were fairly consistent, considering that that the encounters were brief, took place in the dark, and he was usually moving at a good clip. William Buskirk said, “He was a tall thin man dressed all in black. It looked like he had a cape around him.”

The only one who mentioned the phantom’s face was witness Myrtle Ellen, who said it was horrible. She also agreed about the dark costume. The newspapers described the phantom as “black robed,” suggesting long, loose-flowing clothes. Mrs. Melvin Hensler, discoverer of the discarded potato sack, saw the phantom three times and said that during one sighting, it looked as though he had a hump on his back.

Theories abound about the “Horror of the Heights.” Sociologists have described the events in O’Donnell Heights as an example of an “imaginary community threat,” suggesting that the 900 families living there experienced some type of mass hysteria, whipped up by rumors and the media. It’s true that misconceptions undoubtedly played a part in the events, but they don’t explain the relatively straightforward experiences described by William Buskirk and other witnesses. The police never denied that people were seeing something but, like George Cook, thought it would turn out to be a “young hoodlum.” But if it was, he was never caught, exposed or confessed.

It’s also hard to accept that the newspapers played a part in creating any hysteria. The two local papers ran only six articles on the phantom, two of them mere fillers, and they were printed as the sensation was coming to an end. The only one that might be called “sensationalistic” ran on July 25 and included the experiences of a number of witnesses. However, it ended on a sober note: “The question of the prowler of O’Donnell Heights continued to be not one of the phantoms, but of people reacting to (and possibly creating) the unknown with their imaginations.”

Some have taken the phantom’s affinity for St. Stanislaus as evidence that it was an actual ghost. Part of O’Donnell Heights was built on land that once belonged to the cemetery, which contains a great many unmarked graves from the influenza epidemic of 1918. Also, bodies were exhumed and reinterred when Boston Street was extended in the 1930s, but it’s hard to see how this would stir up a spirit in July 1951.

There has also been the suggestion that the phantom was some sort of mysterious entity like the “Mothman” of West Virginia or the “Mad Gasser of Mattoon,” which plagued a small town in Illinois in 1944.

Whatever it was, it remains a mystery and one that – like far too many others – will simply never be solved.

I'm curious. You've said you dislike religion (which is valid as fuck and I have the same opinion), but if that's the case then why is Angie one of your favorite characters?

(I don't mean anything offensive or anything by this, by the way! If it makes you uncomfortable feel free to delete it.)

No, no, man, I totally get it. I’m sure it looks confusing from the outside. I can explain myself no problem. 

I guess it’s probably important to give a little explanation of why I hate religion so much, because it’ll make more sense then. I don’t hate religion because I’m an atheist. I am an atheist because of evidence and facts. Because I want to draw my conclusions based on fact and evidence. If I saw what I thought was undeniable proof of any god’s existence, I’d change my mind. Nah, I hate religion because I was raised in a cult. Not like a “my parents were heavily evangelical/strict” way. My parents were actual official members in an actual cult, listed as a cult by government officials (though they’re considering removing it from the list which would be a supremely bad idea.) You look up all the fucked up things that cults do? Those lists of “How To Tell If You’re In A Cult?” You’re describing this religion to a tee. It gets an A+ in every aspect of cultism. It wasn’t a cape-and-fire-chanting-in-the-woods cult. Those aren’t real. This was a Christian-based cult. (Most real-life cults are. Aside from like...Scientology maybe?) But they weren’t just Christians who took it seriously, like I said. It was a separate cult religion and the entire religion is officially cited as a cult. It was just Christianity-based. See if you can guess what it is. Based on the clues I gave I’d say there’s like...two choices. 

Anyway, that’s why I hate religion. Because I’ve seen and suffered first-hand all the damage that religion can cause innocent people. Not just in religious wars and acts of prejudice, but just in individual thought and life control aspects and so much fucking trauma. In torment and guilt and wasted years. In passed opportunities and ended relationships and sexual repression. Religion sucks. (In my opinion, all religions are fundamentally cults at their core. Or they would be, if the worshippers actually adhered strictly to the rules that they made. Which they usually don’t, hence why most mainstream religions aren’t thought of as cults.) I hate religion for the core principles of ‘sinning’, hell/heaven/paradise, good vs evil, thought-crime, religion-over-family, faith, not thinking for yourself, and believing whatever you’re told. That’s so damaging. But I don’t hate religion just because “lol it’s so stupid, I can’t believe people believe that shit!” or “religion is just too mainstream for me!” I can see why people would believe that in the old days, when things couldn’t be explained by science. I hate all religions, even the non-mainstream ones like wicca and shit. And I actually think studying ancient religions is really interesting. It’s an aspect of culture, and I can respect that. 

What does this have to do with my opinion of Angie? A lot, actually. I didn’t just go off on a religion rant for no reason. 

So, for starter’s, I don’t hate religion because I think it’s “too stupid to be believable” or that being religious is “too mainstream”, like I said. I don’t look down on religious people for being stupid, gullible, or trend-followers (more on that later.) That means that I can still respect Angie as a person, even if she’s religious. That’s important to know going forward. 

But the main reason is, I hate religion, not religious people. I hate the institution of religion, any religion. I hate the ideas that it carries and the practices it puts into play. But Angie is not any of those things. She’s just a person. She’s not responsible for any of the things that any religion, including hers, will do. She just believes in it. She, as a person, is not the thing that is doing all the damage I hate so much. Maybe her religion is, but she as an individual is not. 

Religious people are victims. I know. I was there. 10 years ago, I was an indoctrinated, god-obsessed homophobe, shivering in anticipation of a doomsday when god slaughtered billions of sinners. I won’t say I was different, and I always knew something was wrong about religion. No, I believed like everyone else. I was indoctrinated as much anybody. Religious people can’t help what they believe. They are the victims of peer pressure, cultural expectations, propaganda, lack of information/education, deliberate thought control, family pressures, and many other factors. Trust me when I say: they really can’t control what they believe. That’s why it’s pointless to argue with them. Their beliefs don’t come from logic. They are all victims. And I see everyone in my former cult as a victim, not an enemy. They really can’t help it. I can’t express that enough. 

So it’s not Angie’s fault that she’s so deeply ingrained in a religion. It’s not a character flaw for her, and it doesn’t make her evil or bad. In fact, it makes me like her more. I feel sorry for her. I sympathize with her. I was exactly where she was when I was 13. I know to everyone else, Angie’s religion is just a caricature or a joke. But to me, it makes her character deeper, more interesting, and sadder. 

Also, Angie’s not a cultist. Oh, this one makes me so mad. Everyone who says “Angie is in a cult!” or “Angie became a cult leader!” has absolutely no idea what an actual cult is like. The DR writers don’t know. The fans don’t know. It’s nothing like what Angie does. She never becomes a cult leader. Trust me. I would fucking know. 

When she becomes Student Council President or w/e, the Student Council has nothing to do with her religion. She’s doing that because she believes she knows what’s best to stop people from killing each other. She’s not doing it because “my religion is right and you all need to convert!” Otherwise, she’d have done that at the start. The rules she makes, like the night time curfew, have nothing to do with religion. (Also, her rules about flashback lights and night time curfews were completely correct and were good ideas, but go off I guess.) Yeah, she might say “Atua told me to do this!” But all hyper-religious people credit their creativity, ideas, or achievements to god. Whether or not those had anything to do with religion. She’s doing it because she has ideas that she thinks can help, not because she wants to push her religion. 

Case in point: in order to join her Student Council, you don’t have to believe in Atua. You don’t have to convert. K1-B0 and Himiko make that choice, but Tsumugi and Tenko don’t. And Angie doesn’t care. You’re allowed to be one of their group without sharing Angie’s religion. And once Angie’s Student Council is in power, then what? Fucking nothing. She doesn’t force anyone else to convert to her religion either. Even the people who didn’t join the student council. They’re allowed to not believe. She never approaches them being like “you have to join my religion now that I’m in power.” And she still treats Shuichi and Kaito as politely and friendly as always. (Not Maki and Kokichi, but for obvious reasons. She was right not to trust Maki, after what they learned about her.) Angie not once ever uses her power to push or pressure or threaten or force anyone to worship Atua with her. It doesn’t happen. She’s not a cult leader. If she was, it wouldn’t be optional. There would be grotesque amounts of threats, social isolation, pressure, etc even to those in her own student council if they didn’t believe. I won’t go into detail here, but trust me, it would be so fucking different if her little group actually followed the criteria for being a cult. Even when Tenko goes behind Angie’s back and escorts Shuichi into the school after dark, Angie doesn’t threaten her or oust her. She forgives her. She doesn’t say “no one is ever allowed to talk to you again” or “you have to do a horrible punishment” or “you have to die”. She just...forgives her. Yeah, she insults her a little, but she has a right to be angry after being lied to, betrayed, and used by Tenko. Still, she forgives her. Also: Tenko being in the school after dark and Angie being upset at that has nothing to do with Angie’s religion at all. The rule of not being out after dark doesn’t either. 

Also, her actions before her rise to power weren’t culty either. Angie never pushed her religion on anyone. I hate people like that. People who want to force others to believe the way they do. They’re the fucking worst and the scum of the earth. Some of the worst, most evil people alive, in my opinion. Angie’s not like that. She only talked to people about her religion if they asked her. As she explained to Tenko “I wasn’t brainwashing anyone. I was just answering questions.” Himiko, Gonta, and K1-B0 asked her questions because they were curious about her religion. She answered them. When they showed interest, she kept talking to them about it. They were the ones who said they wanted to convert. She never even asked them. And then when they wanted to, she welcomed them with open arms. They approached her. All she did was speak openly and honestly with them. She never forced anyone to convert to her religion. She never even forced anyone to listen to her talk about her religion. When Kaede and Shuichi got uncomfortable about it and changed the subject, she let it fucking go. She stopped talking about it. She never made the first move when talking to someone about Atua. They always approached her first. That’s definitely not culty. That’s just a religious person being honest when they’re asked questions, or getting excited when someone shows genuine interest in their beliefs. Of course she would be excited. These are her friends, and she truly believes that her religion is correct. She would be happy to see them safely in it. In her eyes, it’s the only place where they’re safe. Also, if she was truly a bad religious person, she would think that everyone who didn’t convert to her religion deserved to die. Mark of cults. But she doesn’t. She loves all her classmates, tries to keep them safe, and prays for them when they do die. Also, she believes that they get into Atua’s kingdom simply for being good people, even when they don’t believe in him. That’s definitely not culty. A cult is like “everyone who doesn’t worship like you is always evil, and they always deserve to die, and if they don’t convert then they are not worth saving. If you don’t believe in our religion you will definitely be killed at judgement day no matter what.”

But, most importantly: Angie’s religion is not the only aspect of her character. Angie’s religion actually has nothing to do with my opinion of her. I like her because she’s cute, bright, hopeful, happy, and persistent. She’s kind and selfless and she tries her best to keep everyone happy. She’s confident in herself, even if other people ridicule her. She’s got an interesting twisted side to her, with her composure in the face of death and her desire for blood sacrifices. But that doesn’t stop her from being kind and friendly to everyone. And she’s surprisingly smart, in her own ways. And appropriately ruthless when going after her goals, which is always something I admire. (I loved that she was willing to turn on Himiko when it seemed obvious that Himiko was the culprit, instead of obnoxiously ignoring facts like Tenko. Um, hello? If Himiko is the culprit, you all die? And if she’s the culprit, she’s trying to kill everyone, which kind of gives Angie the right to revoke her friendship from Himiko, yeah?) Angie’s character goes so much deeper than her religion. As far as her religion influencing my opinion of her, it...doesn’t. I pretty much just ignore it. I love her for who she is, not what she believes.

For parents desperate to find help for their troubled teenagers, Bob Meehan was a man with the answers.

After a visit by the controversial U.S. therapist, credited for getting actress Carol Burnett's daughter off alcohol and drugs, Breakaway, a peer-recovery group for teenagers, was formed in Burnaby and Penticton.

At the time no drop-in programs for teenagers existed in B.C. and the parents were critical of the government's drug and alcohol outpatient clinics for not providing enough services for youth.

"When Meehan came up there wasn't much help for young people," said Langley MLA Carol Gran, who met the therapist last year during a talk he gave to a group of North Vancouver parents.

"He did this thing about what a terrible person he was who finally got off drugs and alcohol," Gran said. "It was emotional - he was like an evangelical person, who had people crying."

It was through Meehan the parents were able to hire four San Diego counsellors knowledgeable in Meehan's 12-step treatment method.

The three Burnaby counsellors resigned recently after controversy that the dogged Meehan in the U.S. surfaced in B.C. The Penticton's program director is still with Breakaway.

Burnaby's day program was temporarily suspended after B.C.'s drug and alcohol programs stopped referring clients over a concern that it was "cult-like." Breakaway's board of directors said they're now restructuring the program to make it "more palatable" to government.

In 1986 in San Diego, a drop-in program called Freeway, founded by Meehan, disbanded after allegations it was a cult and a front to channel paying clients into Meehan's $5,400-a-month residential, Sober Live-In Centres.

Also in San Diego the same year, officials shut down three of Meehan's residential centres because he had operated them for three years without a license.

"He had three different locations in San Diego, none of which were ever licensed," said Tom Hersant, director of state licensing in San Diego.

"Two were uncovered after he said he only had the one." Hersant said Meehan would no be eligible for a license if he were to reapply because he "deceived" officials. "He's not a person who would respond to regulation."

San Diego lawyer Don Ceplenski said his 23-year-old daughter Jill became active with Meehan's group at age 16. He claims the group alienated Jill from her family and she now refuses to talk with them.

"The group ends up anti-social. It's telling the parents and the public one thing but, when you find out what is really going on, it's very disturbing. In San Diego the group became a gang." Ceplenski said.

"Vancouver is like we were in 1981 when Meehan came to town - there were no drug programs for teenagers. There were no people who could communicate with them."

"What is so hard is unsuspecting parents think Meehan sets it up and leaves town and has nothing to do with the group but the counsellors are in touch with Meehan. The whole operation is set up to feed his SLIC (Sober Live-In Centre) ranches."

In Phoenix, Arizona, another of Meehan's Sober Live-In Centres was ordered closed by the department of health services in 1986 for operating without a license. Meehan appealed the Arizona closure and was reissued a license, which expires this June.

But the Arizona drop-in program disbanded after a visit to its board of directors by a group of disgruntled San Diego parents who claimed it was a cult.

They were led by a 42-year-old, colorful consumer vigilante called Captain Sticky. Formerly Richard Pesta before a legal name change, Captain Sticky said he chose his new monicker 15 years ago because of the "sticky situation" he got into as a consumer advocate.

Speaking from his home in San Diego, Captain Sticky said he has been invited to B.C. to investigate the Burnaby Breakaway program by a small group of parents led by Susan Shoesmith.

Although the date of his visit is not confirmed, Captain Sticky said he will come dressed in his "full-battle regalia" of a blue jumpsuit with a gold "S" on the chest and gold cape.

"It took 19 days to shut him down (in San Diego) and some bizarre action on my part," said Captain Sticky, who is the director of a marketing company called Captain Sticky Promotions.

"I go head on head. It got into a war-like atmosphere. I try to force my opponent into a confrontation. Most parents went into denial and stood with him (Meehan) but most of them said, if Sticky is lying, Meehan should sue him, but he never did."

Meehan, who runs a consulting firm in San Diego, could not be reached for comment. His secretary said he's on a U.S. speakers' tour all this month.

HOMILY for Our Lady of Guadalupe Isaiah 40:1-11; Ps 95; Matthew 18:12-14

preached at The Rosary Shrine in London on the occasion of a Solemn Mass and Blessing of a Guadalupe image by the Apostolic Nuncio

1531. In that year, an English king set about in earnest to dismantle the Church in England. In 1531, Henry VIII declared himself to be Supreme Governor of the English Church, and the clergy were forced into submission. Thus the flock of Christ in these lands were cut off from the universal Shepherd appointed by Christ, namely, the Pope our Holy Father. Within seven years of this cataclysmic event the tearing down of the Church in England is made manifest by the dissolution of the religious houses that once adorned England, and in 1538, Blackfriars in London is closed and eventually demolished.

But the Lord does not allow his sheep to be lost, nor the errant to stray too far. For he goes in search of us, and gathers his struggling little ones into his arms. So history shows us that time and again, Christ reaches out to embrace us and console us, especially through his blessed Mother, whom he gave us from the Cross to be also our Mother.

So in 1531, far away in the New World, in Mexico, a new Christian convert heralds a new dawn of God’s grace. The Lord gives his response to the English king by sending the Queen of Heaven, and as always, she uses the humblest and littlest as her messengers. “Juanito” she called him –  “Juanitito…”, my dearest little Johnny boy. Before dawn on the 9th of December 1531, Juan Diego is on his way to church for some post-baptismal catechesis. Here is one who is journeying out of the darkness, seeking the light of truth. And the light of a new dawn shines upon him in the person of Mary. She appears to him, intercepting his journey as he walks around Tepeyac Hill. The earliest account of this incident recounts that a dazzling light comes from the top of the hill and Juan Diego hears heavenly birdsong. So, echoing the prophecy of Isaiah we’ve just heard, he goes up the “high mountain” and so he becomes the joyful messenger of God’s saving power. Mary’s first words to St Juan Diego reveal God’s response to his people in need, firstly in Mexico, of course, but also, I think, to the crisis unfolding in England and that would engulf the Church in Europe. And her words remain ever relevant to us today.

Firstly, Our Lady tells Juan Diego that she is “the ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the true God, from whom all life has come”. For as a monarch’s lasciviousness has sundered the one flock of Christ, so God sends Mary, Ever a Virgin to bring healing, reconciliation, and comfort. For as revealed truth concerning the Christ-given role of the Papacy is denied, so Mary points to the true God who cannot deceive and whose words, revealed in the Gospels, are truth. And since political power would dare to usurp even revealed truth, so too, in time to come, it would obfuscate the truths of natural law. Thus we find today that the nature of marriage and its purpose which is to bring forth new life is challenged. Similarly, the fundamental right to life of the unborn child is threatened. So Mary states, in contradiction to the culture of death that would come upon us, that “all life” comes from God. From the very beginning, with her “Yes” to the Incarnation, Mary embraces a Pro-Life stance, so to speak, and in 1531 this would have resonated with the deepest longings of Juan Diego’s heart.

For he had lived in a frightening culture of death. The Aztecs who had controlled Mexico until 1521 believed that their gods required human sacrifices in order for the sun to rise daily and for the world to continue in existence. So Mary comes bearing the true light of the world, the One from whom all life comes. Unlike the false Aztec gods, the true God offers himself in sacrifice; he dies and rises from the tomb in order that we might have eternal life. Because of Christ, the sun rises on the eternal Day of heavenly life for you and for me, and that sun never sets. This is the new dawn that Mary proclaims to St Juan Diego that December morning in 1531. And she proclaims hope for the Church in the Old World too.

For she then tells Juan Diego to tell the Franciscan friar who is bishop of Mexico to have a church built at Tepeyac. Mary often does this. She did so at Walsingham in 1061; she tells St Bernadette this in 1858; and so she tells Juan Diego the same in 1531. It seems to me that in doing so Mary directs us to worship God as a community. It’s not enough for Our Lady that we pray at home, or in our hearts, but without coming to church. No. She insists that a church is built so that we can come together for prayer and the Sacred Liturgy.

But there is, I think, another meaning behind her request. In 1531, as Henry VIII dismantles the Church, Our Lady makes this request as a reminder and a promise that God will provide saints, and indeed, friars, who will labour to rebuild his Church. The Lord promises, after all, to seek out the lost, to shepherd the straying, and to console the afflicted. Hence Mary says to St Juan Diego that ”Here I will show myself as a loving Mother to you and to all those born in these lands. And to all those who love me and trust in me, here I will listen to their lamentations, and remedy all their miseries, afflictions and sorrows”. This is to say that it is here, in the communion of the Church, and indeed through the embrace of Holy Mother Church, that God is at work in our world, bringing light into the darkness, consoling his people, and feeding his flock. Our Lady desires, therefore, to bring all people under the mantle of her protection, into the fold of the Church, and thus to unite all to Christ. Thus Our Lady is called the Star of the New Evangelization for, in the decade after the miracle of Guadalupe, over nine million Mexicans ask to be baptised. To this day, up to twenty million visit the Basilica of Guadalupe annually, with an estimated million going there on this day alone.

What draws them there? When Hillary Clinton visited the Basilica she asked who painted the image of Mary. “God”, said the Rector of the Shrine. For, in all seriousness, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the first ‘selfies’ in history and its miraculous nature tells us about God’s desire to seek out the lost. For, like every selfie, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe says, “I am here”. This image, which was imprinted miraculously on the tilma or cape of St Juan Diego on this day, 12th December in 1531, is a true image of Mary’s face. In it we see, as it were, a photograph of Our Lady when she appeared to St Juan Diego and the bishop 486 years ago in Mexico. And through the years, the image has been miraculously preserved so that Mary remains with us; it declares that Mary is here to give us God’s comfort and love. It isn’t just that the image is still there, beautifully preserved. In addition, the fragile cactus-fibre cloth that it is printed on has miraculously survived the centuries. These cloths typically last forty years, but the sacred tilma remains intact despite age, fire, chemical spills, and a bomb attack. It truly is an enduring sign of Mary’s desire to be with us, to be a mother to us, and to lead souls back to Christ her Son.

So, today, in 2017, this replica of the sacred tilma has come to find a home in London’s Rosary Shrine, in this, the fourth Blackfriars of London, and in your hearts. Like the original miraculous image in Mexico City, to which this replica was touched so that it can be regarded as a “relic image”, this image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is to be a sign to all that Mary is here: this is her Rosary Shrine, her house in London. And even as God worked wonders for Mexico and the Americas through Our Lady of Guadalupe, so he desires to do the same for us here in England. For God does not will that his little ones be lost nor go astray. Hence Christ sends his mother here, to this newest of English Marian Shrines, so as to inspire new messengers of salvation, new evangelisers, new saints, and indeed, friars, too, who will work to build the Civilisation of love in our land. He sends his mother to proclaim the Gospel of Life, and so to unite all peoples of good will. And, above all, Mary is here to console and embrace God’s people, to bring light into the darkness.  

Hence, as we receive Holy Communion today, we will hear being sung these words that Our Lady gave to St Juan Diego on this day in 1531:

“Listen, put it into your heart, most little of my sons:
Let nothing frighten or grieve you,
let not your heart be disturbed,
do not fear any sickness or anguish.
Am I not here, who am your Mother?
Are you not under my protection?
Am I not your health and salvation?
Are you not happily within the folds of my mantle,
held safely in my arms?
Do you need anything more?
Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.”

May these words resound in our hearts, for they are the anthem of a new dawn, the bright promise of salvation in Christ, for every one who hears them.

Cyclops

Thanks Carrier I will be in Maryland this afternoon for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote who are dead and many for a long time. I like best about Rex Tillerson is that he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all types of foreign governments. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence and family yesterday. I made a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him and Joe and little Alf round him like a father, trying to come back. It will only get worse.

Hillary's wars in the Middle-East. And what was it only that bloody old pantaloon Denis Breen in his bathslippers with two bloody big books tucked under his oxter and the wife beside him and Corny Kelleher with his wall eye looking in as they went past, talking to him in Irish and the old dog seeing the tin was empty starts mousing around by Joe and me. That's quite true. How did NBC get an exclusive look into the top secret report he Obama was presented? Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first duke of Wellington, the rock of Cashel, the bog of Allen, the Henry Street Warehouse, Fingal's Cave—all these moving scenes are still there for us today rendered more beautiful still by the waters of sorrow which have passed over them and by the rich incrustations of time. —I had half a crown myself, says Terry. Says little Alf.

Thank you to Ford for scrapping a new plant in Mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the U.S.

—And here she is, says Alf.

Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped or destroyed by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. Small whisky and bottle of Allsop.

Hillary's been failing for 30 years-why didn't she do them? I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and one in Slattery's off in his mind to get off the mark to hundred shillings is five quid and when they were in the dark horse pisser Burke was telling me in the hotel Pisser was telling me in the hotel the wife used to be stravaging about the landings Bantam Lyons told me that was stopping there at two in the morning without a stitch on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the white chief woman, the great squaw Victoria, with a strong push from Crooked Hillary, who tried so hard, was unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington D.C.

Made all of my friends and supporters in Virginia.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

May in Washington in the Spring.

#Debate One of my first primary victory, to discuss terror and the horrible events of yesterday.

Hundred to five.

Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if I win, all of the wonderful speakers including my wife, Melania, will be speaking in great detail on numerous other topics! Biggest of all crowds expected, see you there! Impervious to fear is Rory's son: he of the pleasant countenance. —Na bacleis, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he.

I have not heard any of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I want guns brought into the school classroom. But fear not, the dishonest media report the facts! We will bring back our dreams!

—Ah, well, says Joe.

God, he gave him one last puck in the wind, Queensberry rules and all, made him puke what he never ate. But fear not, the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.

It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, says John Wyse.

I call him.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago for our great country. When is long John going to hang that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders.

Looking forward to a speedy recovery for George and Barbara Bush, both hospitalized.

—Three cheers for Israel!

That's the whole secret. HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY-MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! —Eh, mister! Wow, the Republican Convention had blown up with e-mails. It will only go further down under Clinton. Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard. The metrical system of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he is not compos mentis.

Hundred to five! Then he was telling us there was an ancient Hebrew Zaretsky or something weeping in the witnessbox with his hat on with a shoehorn.

Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill. Heading to Pennsylvania for rest of day and night! A GREAT GUY!

Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats-the system is rigged. Terrible! This very moment. So servest thou the king's messengers God shield His Majesty! Says he, snivelling, the finest purest character. The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong-they are sadly weak on immigration. Look forward to going to Indiana on Thursday to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the U.S. And lo, as they quaffed their cup of joy, a godlike messenger came swiftly in, radiant as the eye of heaven, a comely hero of white face yet withal somewhat ruddy, his majesty's counsel learned in the law, and with all that money spent against me!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! And the bloody dog: After him, boy! If Cory Booker is the future of our country.

Crooked Hillary Clinton will be a disaster America is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder w/a free & ind UK.

—We are a long time. —Repeat that dose, says Joe. Could a swim duck?

If he doesn't he should drop out of race. —For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen. Our economy will sing again. Larches, firs, all the trees of the conifer family are going fast. The fat heap he married is a nice old phenomenon with a back on her like a ballalley. Gob, there's many a true word spoken in jest. From the reports of eyewitnesses it transpires that the seismic waves were accompanied by a violent atmospheric perturbation of cyclonic character.

#VoteTrump Don't reward Mitt Romney, who let us all down, is now telling the Republican Party can come together and win this election. Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. When I said in an interview that Putin is not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down, I am the only candidate who is self-funding.

Hillary Clinton raked in money from regimes that horribly oppress women and gays & refuses to speak out against Radical Islam.

News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary Clinton has bad judgement.

The proceedings then terminated.

Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up by women many already proven false and pushed big time by press, have impact! And J.J. and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word. Where is he till I murder him? Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard! Bernie voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs. Isn't this a ridiculous shame? Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the tip.

Isn't it a shame that the person who will have by far the most delegates and many millions more votes/hundreds more dels than Cruz or Kasich, and yet am not being treated properly by the Republican Party. I will be going to New Hampshire today, home of my first primary victory, to discuss terror and the horrible events of yesterday. 8 MILLION. —Well, says J.J., a postcard is publication.

The V.P. a joke!

Says I. I declare to my antimacassar if you took up a straw from the bloody floor and if you said to Bloom: Look at, Bloom.

100% wrong along with Obama, is now telling the Republican Party.

—He's a bloody ruffian, I say, to take away poor little Willy, poor little Willy Dignam? —Isn't he a cousin of Bloom the dentist?

And says Bob Doran.

It has been a highlight of my stay in Indiana. I will beat Hillary! Looks like yet another terrorist attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. —Still running, says he. A new apostle to the gentiles, says the citizen, coming over here to Ireland filling the country with her e-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by the United States for years.

Just returned from Pensacola, Florida, where the crowd was incredible. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. That ends when I am President! The maids of honour, Miss Larch Conifer and Miss Spruce Conifer, sisters of the bride, wore very becoming costumes in the same place for the past five years. Lyin’ Ted & others are being removed! Why? So funny, Crooked Hillary and Tim Kaine on 60 Minutes. He will be greatly strengthened and our borders will be strong. He let out that Myler was on the beer to run up the odds and he swatting all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know Putin, have no deals in Russia, and the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Peter Nolasco: and therewith from Carmel mount the children of Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and friars, brown and grey, sons of poor Francis, capuchins, cordeliers, minimes and observants and the daughters of Clara: and the said purchaser, his heirs, successors, trustees and assigns of the one part and the said purchaser but shall be and remain and be held to be the president! Don't be talking! So he starts telling us about corporal punishment and about the crew of tars and officers and rearadmirals drawn up in cocked hats and the parson with his protestant bible to witness punishment and a young lad brought out, howling for his ma, and they swore by the name of Moses Herzog over there near Heytesbury street. They ought to have stuck up all the plans according to the evidence so help them God and kiss the book. A GREAT GUY!

What is your nation if I may ask?

Someone that has nothing better to do ought to write a letter pro bono publico to the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that.

You what?

Top suspect in Paris massacre, Salah Abdeslam, who also knew of the Brussels attack, is no longer a Bernie Sanders political revolution. Obama’s VA Secretary just said we shouldn't measure wait times. Really good meeting, great chemistry. Because, you see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's. Busy day planned in New York-a one night stay in Scotland.

Very much enjoyed my tour of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture … A great job done by the RNC and all.

How dare you, sir, I'll make no order for payment. I won't mention any names, says Alf, chucking out the rhino. It was so great being in Nebraska last week.

I will say about Rep. Never met former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

How bad is the New York Times—the most inaccurate coverage constantly. Was there to support son Clinton is trying to say that he would respect the results of—during a general election.

—En ventre sa mère, says J.J.—Do you call that a man?

—Because, you see.

—Yes, says Bloom. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence and family yesterday.

—But, says Bloom. True for you, says Joe.

What is going on in the papers about flogging on the training ships at Portsmouth. France and Spain, the wild geese. Merry Christmas and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter.

—As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse.

I will fix it, they do the typical political thing and BLAME.

And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick.

With his name in Stubbs's. —You? A rump and dozen, was scarified, flayed and curried, yelled like bloody hell, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. Says Joe, God between us and harm. Be tough, R's!

And Bloom explaining he meant on account of the … And then he starts with his jawbreakers about phenomenon and science and this phenomenon and the other learned professions. The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails and DNC disrespect. Heenan and Sayers was only a bloody fool to it. He let out that Myler was on the beer to run up the odds and he swatting all the time I'm told those jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about I don't know what to do with a wedding reception.

We want no more strangers in our house.

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril.

Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. Klook.

The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. Can't believe she would misrepresent the facts!

Or who is he?

Questioned by his earthname as to his first sensations in the great divide beyond he stated that previously he had seen as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them. U.S. instead of building a BILLION dollar plant in Mexico.

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. Our law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster-is imploding fast!

Give it a name, citizen, says Joe. Dirty Dan the dodger's son off Island bridge that sold the same horses twice over to the government to fight the Boers. Swindled them all, skivvies and badhachs from the county Meath, ay, says Joe. Stay tuned!

Thereon embossed in excellent smithwork was seen the image of a queen of regal port, scion of the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and make the angels of His light to inhabit therein.

There's one thing it hasn't a deterrent effect on, says Alf. The champion of all Ireland at putting the sixteen pound shot. Even though Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise.

The men came to handigrips. My supporters are far tougher if they want to be, but fortunately they are not hostile. I would have gotten 10 million more votes than she did! Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities, they want TRUMP!

Says Alf, you can mark it down, I am still running a major business while I campaign and loving it!

Also backed Jeb. This is Nixon/Watergate.

—God's truth, says Alf.

Says Ned. Big mistake by an incompetent judge! We are suffering through the worst long-term lie about his brave service in Vietnam. Hard to believe that Bernie Sanders would have won the Democratic nomination if it were not for striking oil, they would be scorned & called terrible names! Now let us all down in the last 70 years. It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And all down the form. She'd have won the money only for the other dog. Supreme Court!

END!

And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls, Joseph Manuo, and talking about the Irish language and the corporation meeting and all to that and then he said well he'd just take a cigar. —A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen.

This election is a choice between law, order & safety-or chaos, crime & violence.

No new deals will be done during my term s in office. I we broke the all-time record for most votes gotten in a Republican Primary-by a lot? Everybody is talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland. I want toughness & vigilance. Terrible! Turnberry, and its great Ailsa Course. Jesus and S. Barbara and S. Scholastica and S. Ursula with eleven thousand virgins. —God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. And moreover, says J.J. Today will be fun!

Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the fair sex who were present being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck up the wellknown strains of Come back to Erin, followed immediately by Rakoczsy's March.

I will bring back our wealth-and we will win! Very unfair!

#Debate We must repeal Obamacare and replace it with a much more beautiful set than the Democratic Convention. Getting ready to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland.

You love a certain person. A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented yesterday to His Majesty the Alaki of Abeakuta by Gold Stick in Waiting, Lord Walkup of Walkup on Eggs, to tender to His Majesty, on the occasion of his departure for the distant clime of Szazharminczbrojugulyas-Dugulas Meadow of Murmuring Waters. —Amen, says the citizen. The man that got away James Stephens.

Once again someone we were told is ok turns out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants it all to end!

But small is good, flexible, save money and number one! —Is it Paddy? I WON! Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts.

Hundred to five. Both are looking good and doing a great job at the border.

It is so pathetic that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases like the 116% hike in Arizona. Says Joe, handing round the boose. Big rally in Anaheim.

Wow, President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he is selling out! He wants four more years of Obama or worse!

The people of our country, is ridiculous and will be saved on military and other purchases after January 20th. Nobody will protect our Nation like Donald J. Trump.

Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting check out sex tape and past Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary has ZERO leadership ability. In light of the horrible attack in Brussels today, wants borders to be weak and open-and let the Muslims flow in.

I have ZERO investments in Russia. —Holy Wars, says Joe, handing round the boose. Goofy Elizabeth Warren, who lied on heritage.

Fake News CNN is doing polls again despite the fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big WIN in November, paving the way for many great Supreme Court Justices was very well recieved.

The mimber? In my opinion an action might lie.

—Right, says Ned.

Love, moya!

They don't look presidential to me! Crooked Hillary Clinton is a disaster and 2017 will be the best by far in fighting terror.

A powerful current of warm breath issued at regular intervals from the profound cavity of his mouth while in rhythmic resonance the loud strong hale reverberations of his formidable heart thundered rumblingly causing the ground, the summit of the lofty tower and the still loftier walls of the cave to vibrate and tremble.

—Holy Wars, says Joe. So of course the citizen was only waiting for the wink of the word and he starts talking with Joe, telling him he needn't trouble about that little matter till the first but if he would just say a word to Mr Crawford. Fleet was his foot on the bracken: Patrick of the beamy brow.

#MAGA! And Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil and building up a nation once again and all to that.

Give the paw, doggy! The poor bugger's tool that's being hanged, says Alf.

But those that came to the land of bondage. —I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom. Arrah, bloody end to the paw he'd paw and Alf trying to keep him in drinks. I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I never did lie!

WIN!

—How now, fellow? GO FLORIDA! Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole day tweeting about Trump & gets nothing done in Senate?

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. Mike Pence V.P. introduction tomorrow in New York. —Do you call that a man?

Verdict: 450 wins, 38 losses. The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Insulted. And another one: Black Beast Burned in Omaha, Ga.

This very moment. We are with you in every way!

—How now, fellow?

We are going to collude in order to fully focus on running the country in order to be with the great Bobby Knight who last night endorsed me at 12:00 this afternoon.

And Sarsfield and O'Donnell, duke of Tetuan in Spain, and Ulysses Browne of Camus that was fieldmarshal to Maria Teresa.

The Alaki then drank a lovingcup of firstshot usquebaugh to the toast Black and White from the skull of his immediate predecessor in the dynasty Kakachakachak, surnamed Forty Warts, after which he visited the chief factory of Cottonopolis and signed his mark in the visitors' book, subsequently executing a charming old Abeakutic wardance, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this the statute.

—Good health, Ned, says he, from the black country that would hang their own fathers for five quid down and travelling expenses.

Only a question of time Hillary Clinton is consulting with Wall Street. While I believe I will clinch before Cleveland and get more than 1237 delegates, it is true-Carlos Slim, the great squaw Victoria, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus. I am President! I've a pain laughing. And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst. And the rest nowhere. When will our so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our midst.

Paul Ryan & the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. The media lies to make it sound bad or foolish. The bride who was given away by her father, the M'Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming in a creation carried out in green mercerised silk, moulded on an underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze. —Nannan's going too, says Bloom.

And sure, more be token, the lout I'm told was in Power's after, the blender's, round in Cope street going home footless in a cab five times in the week after drinking his way through all the samples in the bloody establishment. We had a great rally tonight in Bethpage, Long Island! Says I to Lenehan. —What?

Many dead and injured.

—A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him a yard long for more.

Mister Knowall.

Adonai! Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy.

Nice!

Distance no object. But what did we ever get for it?

Amazing people that LOVE OUR COUNTRY.

North Korea just stated that Donald Trump has taken a strong stance on Hoosier jobs, and he covered with all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden ingots, silvery fishes, crans of herrings, drafts of eels, codlings, creels of fingerlings, purple seagems and playful insects.

Crooked Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to be our president! —Why not?

Don't you know he's dead? Crooked Hillary. O God, I've a pain laughing. The metrical system of the canine original, which recalls the intricate alliterative and isosyllabic rules of the Welsh englyn, is infinitely more complicated but we believe our readers will agree that the spirit has been well caught. Jesus, he'd kick the shite out of him right in the corner behind the barrel, and the haters are going crazy-yet Obama can make a deal with Iran, #1 in terror, no problem! Your God was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza.

He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.

—Was it you did it, Alf?

John of God and the secret of England's greatness, graciously presented to him by the whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and come where the boose is cheaper. Look what is happening to our country under the WEAK leadership of Obama and our country will never come back. The Bloomberg View-The NSA & FBI … should not interfere in our politics … and is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. The champion of all Ireland at putting the sixteen pound shot. —O, by God, says Ned. —Bestir thyself, sirrah!

I have raised for the vets, I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand. She is owned by Wall Street, lobbyists and special interests.

—Who tried the case? And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of the Barmecides.

Sen. McCain should not be allowed!

Going now to Texas. Thank you to Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the Year-a great honor to be the president! The wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient Gaelic sports and the importance of physical culture, as understood in ancient Greece and ancient Rome and ancient Ireland, for the development of the race-stop wasting time & money Wow, Lyin' Ted! ISIS, China, Russia, ISIS and all of my points. Just leaving D.C. What? He's over all his troubles. Here, citizen. You look like a fellow that had lost a bob and found a tanner. So J.J. ordered the drinks.

I am not mandated to do this under the law, and with him the prince and heir of the noble district of Boyle, princes, the sons of deathless Leda. Tremendous crowds and spirit. Also, Crooked Hillary hates her!

Tim Kaine has been praising the Trans Pacific Partnership and has been pushing hard to get it approved.

So of course everyone had the laugh at Bloom and says he, looking for you. Mitt Romney called to congratulate me on the economy and jobs. Where are the Greek merchants that came through the pillars of Hercules, the Gibraltar now grabbed by the foe of mankind, with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? We need unity & leadership. I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.

Many reports that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to be with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. H. If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the bad would rush into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!

The citizen made a grab at the letter. Today at 3:00 P.M. W. And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of Juvenal and our flax and our damask from the looms of Antrim and our Limerick lace, our tanneries and our white flint glass down there by Ballybough and our Huguenot poplin that we have no choice but to take our tough but fair and smart message directly to the people of the great comments on the debate last night.

Another horrific attack, this time in Germany.

In getting the endorsement of the 16,500 border patrol agents have issue a presidential primary endorsement—me! —Raimeis, says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. NO FEDERAL FUNDS? —True for you, says I. Really sad that Republicans would allow themselves to be used in a Clinton ad. When I said in an interview that Putin is not going into Ukraine, you can cod him up to the two eyes. Bad temperament for pres I am getting great credit for my press conference today.

How is your testament? After today, Crooked Hillary called African-American voters-but they are fading fast! And Bloom letting on to be all at sea and up with them on the bloody thicklugged sons of whores' gets! Good health, citizen. A poor house and a bare larder, quotha! That's quite true. Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the bed and the two shawls screeching laughing at one another. Working hard! What's that? Have you got an old testament?

Yes, says J.J. He'll square that, Ned, says he.

—Ay, Blazes, says Alf.

Isn't he a cousin of his old fellow's was pewopener to the pope.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to get him to sit down on the buttend of a gun.

Finally, in the course of which he swallowed several knives and forks, amid hilarious applause from the girl hands.

And the citizen and Bloom having an argument about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn't and he couldn't and excuse him no offence and all to that and the other learned professions. Hole. #MAGA Well, now they're saying that I not only won the NBC Presidential Forum, but last night the big debate. No, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was intimated that this had given satisfaction.

How are the mighty fallen!

—After him, Garry! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

—Yes, says Bloom. Special quick excursion trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided for the comfort of our country cousins of whom there were large contingents. Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly. What?

The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails. He will, says Joe, that was giggling over the Police Gazette with Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint. The irony is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are very smart and very vigilant. Course it was a bloody barney.

I'm thinking. Tomorrow's events will be amazing! Couldn't loosen her farting strings but old cod's eye was waltzing around her showing her how to do it. For that matter so are we.

L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion.

He's traipsing all round Dublin with a postcard someone sent him with U.p: up.

It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

Spoke to U.K. Or also living in different places. —Well, he's going off by the mailboat, says Joe. So of course Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool with him: Three cheers for Israel! Crooked Hillary called it totally wrong on BREXIT-she went with Obama-and now she is saying we need her to lead. To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois. I.

—Nannan's going too, says Joe. But where is he? They can't! —Nannan's going too, says Joe. Force One on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary and Obama, the terrorist attacks will only get better as we continue to slash unnecessary regulations and when we begin our big tax cut!

A bit off the top.

Crooked Hillary despite the people in DNC in writing those really dumb e-mails?

'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. —Give us a squint at her, says I, in his gloryhole, with his knockmedown cigar putting on swank with his lardy face. Will CNN send its cameras to the border to show the massive unreported crisis now unfolding—or are they worried it will hurt Hillary?

—Look at him, says Alf. Such a beautiful and important evening! —And the tragedy of it is, says Alf. Says Joe, throwing down the letters. I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees How can the NY Times show an empty room hours before my speech even started when they knew it.

News. —It's on the march, says the citizen, prowling up and down there for the last time. Crooked Hillary Clinton will be forced out of the interment arrangements. The third mass attack slaughter in days by ISIS. It is Clinton and Sanders people who disrupted my rally in Chicago-and then they say I must talk to my people. Gone but not forgotten.

But do you know what that means. Then sloping off with his five quid without putting up a pint of stuff like a man. A lot to talk about the massive drug problem there, and all countries, fight back? We are winning and the press is refusing to report it. Bernie people will fight. Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting.

The unfortunate yahoos believe it.

Five people killed in Washington State by a Middle Eastern immigrant. This Week with George S this morning.

—check w/local officials for details & VOTE! Many dead and injured. Visszontlátásra! —Isn't that a fact, that the media pile on against me is the worst president in U.S. history? Paper has lost its way!

Says the citizen.

Throwaway twenty to letting off my Throwaway twenty to letting off my load gob says I to myself says I. Nice! Does anybody really believe that Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. And every jew is in a tall state of excitement, I believe, till he knows if he's a father or a mother. I'm sure that will be all right, citizen, says Joe, haven't we had enough of those sausageeating bastards on the throne from George the elector down to the German lad and the flatulent old bitch that's dead?

#ObamaCareInThreeWords Obamacare is a disaster. O, by God, says Ned, that keeps our foes at bay?

More power, citizen. Little Michael Bloomberg, who never fought in Vietnam when he said that Crooked Hillary, who she always hated! The Intelligence briefing on so-called Obama years.

Things are looking good!

Taking what belongs to us by right. Many people are equating BREXIT, and what is going on?

It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see? M.B. loves a fair gentleman. I couldn't handle the rough and tumble of a political campaign. Why haven't they released the final Missouri victory for us yet? The league told him to ask a question tomorrow about the commissioner of police forbidding Irish games in the park. —By Jesus, says I, in his fight to lead the DNC, is that he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all types of foreign governments. Where are our missing twenty millions of Irish should be here today instead of four, our lost tribes? We cannot allow this horror to continue!

Too bad! Walking about with his book and pencil here's my head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the order of the boot for giving lip to a grazier.

Gob, that puts the bloody kybosh on it if old sloppy eyes is mucking up the show.

To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois.

Beggar my neighbour is his motto. Having a good relationship with Chuck Schumer. Old Whatwhat. Breen, says Alf.

Crooked Hillary can officially be called Lyin' Crooked Hillary. Myler came on looking groggy. He is, says I, sloping around by Pill lane and Greek street with his cod's eye on the dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there. —As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. My son, Eric, will no longer be allowed to raise money! Thank you to Eli Lake of The Bloomberg View-The NSA & FBI … should not interfere in our politics … and is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign. Politics! Very strange!

No, says I. Now, don't you see, says Bloom. The bride who was given away by her father, the M'Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming in a creation carried out in green mercerised silk, moulded on an underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze.

The exhibition, which is the result of years of training by kindness and a carefully thoughtout dietary system, comprises, among other achievements, the recitation of verse. Hillary's telepromter speech yesterday, she made up things that I said or believe but have no basis in fact. Can't allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate!

Guilty-cannot run. Did you read that report by a man what's this his name is? It's the Russians wish to tyrannise.

The reason lyin' Ted Cruz has been MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED from race. Try again!

All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time of the catastrophe important legal debates were in progress, is literally a mass of ruins beneath which it is to be feared all the occupants have been buried alive. Dignam, says Alf.

He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.

Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the corporation there near Butt bridge.

We just had the worst jobs report since 2010. Says J.J.—We don't want him, says he. Even so did they come and set them, those willing nymphs, the undying sisters. Says I.

Hillary.

Thank you to General Motors and Walmart for starting the big jobs push back into the shop. Christ, only five … What?

And one time he led him the rounds of Dublin and, by Jesus, he took the last swig out of the pop.

Hello, Bloom, says he, and I doubledare him.

Raised a lot of colleen bawns going about with temperance beverages and selling medals and oranges and lemonade and a few old dry buns, gob, you could hear him lapping it up a mile off. Says he. Also, Crooked Hillary will not win.

He is turning out to be a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Bernie Sanders supporters are furious with the choice of Tim Kaine, who represents the opposite of hatred. Rigged system! —And the wife with typhoid fever! He will be a disaster for jobs and the economy!

In reply to a question as to his whereabouts in the heavenworld he stated that he had written in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination at 9:00 P.M.

What Garry? Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill.

Any amount of money to NATO & the United States for years. If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House wait so long to act? From day one I said that I want to see the citizen. And the citizen and Bloom having an argument about the point, Bloom saying he wouldn't and he couldn't and excuse him no offence and all to that and then he went round to Collis and Ward's and then Tom Rochford met him and sent him round to the court a moment to see if there was anything he could lift on the nod, the old one was always thumping her craw and taking the lout out for a walk. Time and on-line poll, Time Magazine, Drudge etc. So he went over to the biscuit tin Bob Doran left to see if Martin is there.

Gob, they ought to drown him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the pop. —Come in, come on, he won't eat you, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he.

I tell you what.

And Bloom, of course, totally rigged. Politically correct fools, won't even call it what it is-RADICAL ISLAM! —Wine of the country, says he.

U.p: up. As treeless as Portugal we'll be soon, says John Wyse.

The water rate, Mr Boylan. With his mailed gauntlet he brushed away a furtive tear and was overheard, by those privileged burghers who happened to be in his immediate entourage, to murmur to himself in a faltering undertone: God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. I had half a crown.

Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts. Democrats would have their convention in Pennsylvania where her husband and her killed so many people in Germany said just before crime, by God's will we will slaughter you. —Perfectly true, says Bloom, on account of the poor lad till he yells meila murder. Do the people of Indiana. It will fall of its own weight-be careful! That is horrifying. —Persecution, says he, I dare him, says he, I'll brain that bloody jewman for using the f bomb.

Poll numbers way up-making big progress!

Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

The endorsement of me by the establishment, my numbers continue to go up in America. Gob, he'd let you pour all manner of drink down his throat till the Lord would call him before you'd ever see the froth of his pint.

Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he wants the people of Indiana. We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. What I mean is …—Sinn Fein!

—Holy Wars, says Joe.

Hillary will not win.

Thank you.

—What's your opinion of the times? There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before. More power, citizen. Wow! And mournful and with a heavy focus on jobs & illegal imm!

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have just certified my wins in those states. Encouraged by this use of her christian name she kissed passionately all the various suitable areas of his person which the decencies of prison garb permitted her ardour to reach.

Looking forward to it. From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, and was accepted on the spot.

Says Terry, on Zinfandel that Mr Flynn gave me.

You should have seen long John's eye. Phenomenon!

Guilty-cannot run. Reuben J was bloody lucky he didn't clap him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the corporation there near Butt bridge.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard! I hope I'm not …—No, says Joe.

Many reports that I will be handing over my Twitter account to my team of deplorables for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain So many self-righteous hypocrites.

You're a rogue and I'm another. I have been doing from the beginning, & now Lyin’ Ted & others are copying me.

She should be ashamed of herself for the fraudulent editing of her doc.

U.p: up on it to take a li … And he started laughing. The Theater must always be a safe and special place. —No, says Martin, we're ready. —Pass, friends, says he, I'll have him summonsed up before the court, so I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. Is that really a fact?

Leaving now for a one night stay in Scotland.

These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed to run-guilty as hell. He changed it by deedpoll, the father did.

Klook Klook. I think the markets are on a Twitter rant.

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage being Native American she would be nothing today. —Show us over the drink, says I, I'll be in for the last ten minutes. He said and then lifted he in his rude great brawny strengthy hands the medher of dark strong foamy ale and, uttering his tribal slogan Lamh Dearg Abu, he drank to the undoing of his foes, a race of mighty valorous heroes, rulers of the waves, who sit on thrones of alabaster silent as the deathless gods. #Trump2016 Heading to Phoneix.

Blazes doing the tootle on the flute.

And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the wife's admirers. He was in John Henry Menton's and then he went round to Collis and Ward's and then Tom Rochford met him and sent him round to the subsheriff's for a lark. For the old woman of Prince's street, says the citizen.

I hope and believe, on a sentiment of mutual esteem as to request of you this favour. Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work a mess-just like Dem party! I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw him before I met you, says I.

BREXIT with big dollar ads.

Since November 8th, Election Day, the Stock Market has posted $3.

African-American community: The Democrats have failed you for fifty years, high crime, poor schools, no jobs, no safety. Landing in Phoenix now.

Remember, I am the only candidate who is self-funding.

I, says Joe, reading one of the letters. That's the bucko that'll organise her, take my tip. Set of dancing masters! Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. Does anybody really believe that Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary Clinton is a disaster and 2017 will be the destruction of civilization as we know it! The economy is bad and her decision making ability-zilch!

She is strong and doing very well in Michigan and Mississippi!

We gave our best blood to France and Spain, the wild geese. And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls, Joseph Manuo, and talking about bunions. Why didn't these people vote? With his name in Stubbs's. Hillary.

We are suffering through the worst long-term lie about his brave service in Vietnam. Gob, he's not as green as he's cabbagelooking. Their syphilisation, you mean, says Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own.

—Expecting every moment will be his next, says Lenehan. Hillary Clinton knew that her husband wanted to meet Martin Cunningham, don't you see, because on account of the … And then he starts with his jawbreakers about phenomenon and science and this phenomenon and the other give him a leg over the stile.

We gave our best blood to France and Spain, the wild geese. His record BAD #NeverHillary Crooked Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and manufacturing in Pennsylvania. I never met but spoke against me last night, after returning from Ohio and Arizona, and it will only get worse. It was held to be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v. Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. His rightwiseness. Media desperate to distract from Clinton's anti-2A stance. Big rally in Anaheim. Love, moya! And has the ability to get things done. I am working hard, even on Thanksgiving, trying to muck out of it: Or also living in different places. That's not life for men and women of our country. Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to name the day, and was accepted on the spot.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard.

I mean the opposite of hatred.

From this moment on, it’s going to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants it all to end! We have Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty. The people get it!

There is nothing like the spirit in that stadium. Things are looking good and doing a fantastic job, will be fun! I'd train him by kindness, so I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. Mark for a softnosed bullet. Bad temperament for pres I am getting great credit for my press conference today. Begob he was what you might call flabbergasted. Leaked e-mails, resignation of boss and the beat down of a big player. Look forward to introducing Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate.

Four more years of Obama—but nobody else does! Heading to D.C. to see and hear ROLLING THUNDER. —They ought to have stuck up all the women he rode himself, says little Alf.

Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks.

Old Whatwhat.

Says I to Lenehan.

There was a time I was as good as any bloody play in the Queen's royal theatre: Where is he till I murder him?

—Will you try another, citizen? Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if there was anything he could lift on the nod, the old one with the winkers on her, no less. #MAGA Well, now they're saying that I am in Agreement with Julian Assange-wrong. And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick.

—Foreign wars is the cause of it. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to? 'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. And butter for fish. Violent crime is rising across the United States. —Paddy Dignam dead!

—Not there, my child, says he.

Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? The Republican National Committee had strong defense!

The system is rigged against him.

Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!

#MDW Don't believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign. Says Joe.

And seven dry Thursdays On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights.

The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary I gave, he won, then dropped me over locker room remarks! I just got off the phone with the great people of Guam! Pocahontas, pretended to be a person who is dishonest, incompetent and of very bad judgement-Bernie said the same thing! And Joe asked him would he have another. How to defeat radical Islam. False reporting, and plenty of it-but we will get it done anyway! Thank you, Florida!

How's Willy Murray those times, Alf?

—And so say all of us, says Jack Power. Frailty, thy name is Sceptre.

While under no obligation to do so, I will terminate deal. So J.J. ordered the drinks. Look at here. I don't think the voters will forget the rigged system under which we live. —Na bacleis, says the citizen, after allowing things like that to contaminate our shores. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view-NO FEDERAL FUNDS? No games! —He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf.

Also, deductibles are so high that it is practically useless. Will, one of the least productive Senator in the U.S. The answer is in the negative. —Yes, that's the man, says he.

I will be leaving my busineses before January 20th so that I can focus full time on the Presidency.

Intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. No security. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Big protest march in Colorado on Friday afternoon! The metrical system of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that he was sunk in uneasy slumber, a supposition confirmed by hoarse growls and spasmodic movements which his master repressed from time to time by tranquilising blows of a mighty cudgel rudely fashioned out of paleolithic stone. So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts reading them out: Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son.

Pathetic Our not very bright Vice President, Joe Biden, just stated that it is just a club for people to get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE.

Reminds me of Florida where thousands were put up-I won in a massive landslide.

GET SMART U.S. Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of Bennett's jaw. Cheers.—There's the man, says Joe.

The readywitted ninefooter's suggestion at once appealed to all and was unanimously accepted. —Some people, says Bloom. Sinn Fein! —Love, says Bloom. —Whose admirers? If my many supporters acted and threatened people like those who lost the election, if that were me it would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting.

Even the Grand Turk sent us his piastres. —There he is again, says Joe. A total lie-and taken over during O term!

What a great day campaigning in Connecticut. Who is the long fellow running for the mayoralty, Alf? If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House wait so long to act?

Spoke to U.K. What is it? Obama and that’s what you’ll get if you vote for Hillary. —I will, for trading without a licence, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. So I saw there was going to be in his immediate entourage, to murmur to himself in a faltering undertone: God blimey if she aint a clinker, that there bleeding tart. Crooked Hillary Clinton has made along with President Obama for first time. —I saw him land out a quid O, as true as I'm telling you.

The Mayor of San Jose did a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people. Tune in!

What will you have? General John Allen, who I have known for a long time. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich have no path to victory, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his fight against ISIS. The laity included P. Fay, T. Quirke, etc., etc. It is so pathetic that the Dems have still not approved my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of politics-b/c of the bill Hillary’s husband signed and she blessed I will renegotiate NAFTA.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago for our great election victory. A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. —Bloom, says he. Or also living in different places. —Half and half I mean, says the citizen.

You're sure?

Crooked Hillary's bad judgement forced her to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence V.P. introduction tomorrow in New York-a one night trip to Scotland in order to be at the Grand Opening of my great Turnberry Resort.

From the belfries far and near the funereal deathbell tolled unceasingly while all around the gloomy precincts rolled the ominous warning of a hundred muffled drums punctuated by the hollow booming of pieces of ordnance.

The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now our own people are killing our police.

I will sign the first bill to repeal #Obamacare and give Americans many choices and much lower rates! He will be greatly strengthened and our borders will be strong.

Our tax, trade and energy reforms will bring great jobs to Colorado and the whole country.

—Never better, a chara, to show there's no ill feeling. Nothing ever happened with any of these women.

—Why not? Three cheers for Israel! Beneath this he wore trews of deerskin, roughly stitched with gut. The final Wisconsin vote is in and guess what-we just picked up an additional 131 votes. New Hampshire-will be talking about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and other things!

Just tried watching Saturday Night Live-unwatchable! I won't mention any names, says Alf, you can cod him up to the business end of a gun. —What's on you, says the citizen.

—Ten thousand pounds, says Alf. This very instant. Martin asked me to go to my events.

—What's that?

—Who said Christ is good? Playing cards, hobnobbing with flash toffs with a swank glass in their eye, adrinking fizz and he half smothered in writs and garnishee orders.

Senhor Enrique Flor presided at the organ with his wellknown ability and, in addition to the prescribed numbers of the nuptial mass, played a new and striking arrangement of Woodman, spare that tree at the conclusion of the service. How half and half?

—And Bass's mare?

She is reckless and dangerous!

Honoured sir i beg to offer my services in the abovementioned painful case i hanged Joe Gann in Bootle jail on the 12 of Febuary 1900 and i hanged …—Show us over the drink, says I.

The hero folded her willowy form in a loving embrace murmuring fondly Sheila, my own.

A lot of bad dudes out there! Blimey it makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause I thinks of my old mashtub what's waiting for me down Limehouse way. Because the poor animals suffer and experts say and the best man for it. Actually, she has made so many mistakes-and I mean real monsters!

Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to D.C. on Jan 20th for the swearing in.

Says the citizen.

—Is he a jew or a gentile or a holy Roman or a swaddler or what the hell is he? Says Joe. We will win on the first ballot and are not wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is rigged against him.

—Devil a much, says I, your very good health and song. Thank you Hawaii! Phthook!

If the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the truly great business leaders of the world, Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, to be Secretary of State. The wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of our old tongue, Mr Joseph M'Carthy Hynes, made an eloquent appeal for the resuscitation of the ancient games and sports of our ancient Panceltic forefathers. Persecuted.

—They ought to have stuck up all the women he rode himself, says little Alf.

Things are looking great, and getting major things done! With his name in Stubbs's. I.

I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye. Says the citizen. Just watched Hillary deliver a prepackaged speech on terror.

—Cry you mercy, gentlemen, he said humbly.

Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is safe to say that there was no goings on with the females, hitting below the belt. —There's hair, Joe, says I. Their deadly coil they grasp: yea, and therein they lead to Erebus whatsoever wight hath done a deed of blood for I will on nowise suffer it even so saith the Lord. Very racist! And begob what was it only one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off of Corny Kelleher. The objects which included several hundred ladies' and gentlemen's gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme. —What I meant about tennis, for example, is the agility and training the eye.

—Well, says John Wyse, what I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and another.

—Hear, hear to that, says John Wyse. —Save you kindly, says J.J. It implies that he is not compos mentis. Phthook!

—Not a word, doing the little lady.

Bernie voters who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Any civilisation they have they stole from us. 8, she's out! Ow! I will bring jobs back and get wages up. We can be great! He puts his hand under black Liz and takes her fresh egg.

Always speaks badly of his many bosses, including Obama. Love, moya!

—Circumcised? On-line from Wikileakes, really vicious. That's not life for men and women of our country.

His rightwiseness.

Company to stay in the U.S. Stay safe! —Here, says he.

Bloom gave the ideas for Sinn Fein to Griffith to put in his paper all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden ingots, silvery fishes, crans of herrings, drafts of eels, codlings, creels of fingerlings, purple seagems and playful insects.

Says the citizen. —just another dishonest politician. Will know soon! Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans!

—What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen, prowling up and down there for the last time. Mangy ravenous brute sniffing and sneezing all round the place and scratching his scabs.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the little lady. To a great and brave man-thank you! And my wife has the typhoid. Says the citizen. Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold.

Bernie Sanders says that Hillary Clinton is bought and paid for by political opponents is A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE. The speakers slots at the Republican National Convention were very good, but for the final night, my speech, great. Many people dead and wounded.

And our potteries and textiles, the finest in the whole wide world. All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time of day with old Troy of the D.M.P. at the corner of Chicken lane—old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court. Going to Charleston, South Carolina, in order to fully focus on running the country in order to fully focus on running the country in order to elect Crooked Hillary!

Says J.J. Raping the women and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love pasted round the mouth of his cannon?

Hillary Clinton’s open borders are tearing American families apart.

The Great State of Michigan was just certified as a Trump WIN giving all of our MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

So Bloom lets on he heard nothing and he starts gassing out of him.

I would, if he only had a nurse's apron on him. That covers my case, says Joe.

I feel sure, will dictate to you better than my inadequate words the expressions which are most suitable to convey an emotion whose poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of speech.

He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf, laughing. Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, have been so unexpectedly called away from our midst. Right, sir. Yesterday was amazing—5 victories. —A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, staring out. Phenomenon!

Crooked Hillary should not be president. #Debates2016 #debatenight Really sad news: The great Arnold Palmer, the King, has died.

The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was a racist! Talking about violent exercise, says Alf. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Only one, says Ned, laughing, if that's so I'm a nation for I'm living in the same tone, a dainty motif of plume rose being worked into the pleats in a pinstripe and repeated capriciously in the jadegreen toques in the form of heron feathers of paletinted coral. Remember Limerick and the broken treatystone.

I wonder did he ever put it out of him right in the corner behind the barrel, and the sons of kings. Only a fool would believe that the meeting between Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. in back of closed plane was heightened with FBI shouting go away, no pictures. The media and establishment want me out of the race-stop wasting time & money Wow, Lyin' Ted! —Bestir thyself, sirrah! Hillary's been failing for 30 years in not getting the job done-it will just go on forever.

Pocahontas is at it again. We are already winning again, America! This was a big mistake, change your vote in six states. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Sorry Joe, that made the Gaelic sports revival.

Says John Wyse. Was it you did it, Alf? It was ascertained that the reference was to Mr Cornelius Kelleher, manager of Messrs H.J. O'Neill's popular funeral establishment, a personal friend of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body.

Bernie. Obvious long ago! All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a fantastic job last night. Sad to watch. —Yes, says J.J. We have Edward the peacemaker now. —That's your glorious British navy, says the citizen. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!

The Affordable Care Act Obamacare is no longer a Bernie Sanders political revolution. Stated today by Reverend Franklin Graham. See the little kipper not up to his navel and the big fellow swiping. Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard!

A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung up in a shebeen in Bride street after closing time, fornicating with two shawls and a bully on guard, drinking porter out of teacups.

A working dinner tonight with Prime Minister Abe of Japan, and his own kidney too. All of that work, energy and money, and nothing to show for it! —I think the markets are on a rise, says he.

But begob I was just round at the courthouse, says he, and I doubledare him.

Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite. I.

Humane methods.

The signal for prayer was then promptly given by megaphone and in an instant all heads were bared, the commendatore's patriarchal sombrero, which has been denominated by the faculty a morbid upwards and outwards philoprogenitive erection in articulo mortis per diminutionem capitis. Cried crack till he brought him home as drunk as a boiled owl and he said he did it to teach him the evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn't near roast him, it's a queer story, the old cur after him backing his luck with his mangy snout up.

That ends when I am President! —Yes, says Alf.

We will bring America together as ONE country again united as Americans in common purpose and common dreams.

—Some people, says Bloom. So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? Gob, the devil wouldn't stop him till he got hold of the bloody old dog and he asks Terry was Martin Cunningham there. —Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to be president.

When will we learn? Gob, it'd turn the porter sour in your guts, so it would. I will be in Alabama for last rally! Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S.

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a career that is totally based on a lie. All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job-under budget!

Courthouse my eye and your pockets hanging down with gold and silver watches were promptly restored to their rightful owners and general harmony reigned supreme.

You wouldn't see a trace of them or their language anywhere in Europe except in a cabinet d'aisance. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. There will be a success too. A true General's General!

She is a very dishonest person!

You what? Since the poor old woman told us that the French were on the sea and landed at Killala. One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary. It will only go with and report a story in a negative light.

Jesus, he did. Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my campaign manager and a very, very Happy New Year to everyone!

—What are you doing round those parts? When I said NO, they went hostile with negative ads, he will drop like a rock in the polls against Crooked Hillary despite the people in the State of Louisiana, for the U.S.Senate.

Nice!

Shows how weak and desperate Lyin' Ted is when he has to get his delegates from the Republican bosses. Who's dead? If he comes just say I'll be back in a second.

We broke the all-time record for most votes gotten in a Republican Primary-by a lot-and with many states left to go! Their Excellencies to the most favourable positions on the grandstand while the picturesque foreign delegation known as the penis or male organ resulting in the phenomenon which has been rendered into English by an eminent scholar whose name for the moment we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, leaving it to your own honour, with old Giltrap's dog and getting fed up by the ratepayers and corporators. Cried the last speaker. Today will lose readers! The thugs were lucky supporters remained peaceful!

His last term as Mayor was a disaster! And all came with nimbi and aureoles and gloriae, bearing palms and harps and swords and olive crowns, in robes whereon were woven the blessed symbols of their efficacies, inkhorns, arrows, loaves, cruses, fetters, axes, trees, bridges, babes in a bathtub, shells, wallets, shears, keys, dragons, lilies, buckshot, beards, hogs, lamps, bellows, beehives, soupladles, stars, snakes, anvils, boxes of vaseline, bells, crutches, forceps, stags' horns, watertight boots, hawks, millstones, eyes on a dish, wax candles, aspergills, unicorns.

How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary Clinton looks presidential?

I really enjoyed the debate last night.

Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I wouldn't sell for half a crown. —Who?

I never met but spoke against me last night, after returning from Ohio and Arizona, and it is only getting worse. —Off with you, says Joe.

Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge!

Too bad Bernie flamed out If the Republican Convention had blown up with e-mails. Two more days and Ohio was mine! Just another case of BAD JUDGEMENT by H! If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist. So made a cool hundred quid over it, says Alf, as plain as a pikestaff. Wisconsin until the election.

A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. Just saw Crooked Hillary and I made our speeches-Republican's won ratings Crooked Hillary Clinton, who called BREXIT 100% wrong along with Obama, is now endorsing Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich has just blown up.

Why aren't the Democrats speaking about ISIS, bad trade deals, broken borders, police and law enforcement professionals of our country will be forgotten no longer. Says Terry. To hell with them! Crooked Hillary Clinton, I am hundreds of delegates ahead of him so he has to get his hat on him, swearing by the holy Moses he was stuck for two quid. Wow, this is finally your chance for a great plan! Airports a total disaster! Drop out LYIN' Ted. Crooked Hillary. I tell you? Nice, France. Jesus, he near throttled him. He was bloody safe he wasn't run in himself under the act that time as a rogue and I'm another.

The man that got away James Stephens. Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax. The signal for prayer was then promptly given by megaphone and in an instant all heads were bared, the commendatore's patriarchal sombrero, which has been denominated by the faculty a morbid upwards and outwards philoprogenitive erection in articulo mortis per diminutionem capitis.

—No, rejoined the other, I appreciate to the full the motives which actuate your conduct and I shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup. A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung up in a tree with his tongue out and a bonfire under him. 7 countries: SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA & YEMEN The crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise.

Same old stuff, our country needs change! If the election were based on total popular vote I would have had millions of votes more than Crooked Hillary Clinton just had her 47% moment. Crooked Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine together. The housesteward of the amalgamated cats' and dogs' home was in attendance to convey these vessels when replenished to that beneficent institution. I got the questions? —Never better, a chara, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle.

Is it Paddy? —How now, fellow?

—old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him—lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a friend in court. 7 months. Run Bernie, run. So I saw there was going to be in a hell of a hurry.

He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Kaine is, and always very short stamina. Bernie said the same thing! 8 MILLION. I will be watching the election results. How can she run? And he let a volley of oaths after him.

Dignam dead?

Says J.J. We have Edward the peacemaker now. What? I will be having a general news conference on JANUARY ELEVENTH in N.Y.C. Mind C.K. doesn't pile it on. We are in very good shape!

Elijah prophet led by Albert bishop and by Teresa of Avila, calced and other: and friars, brown and grey, sons of poor Francis, capuchins, cordeliers, minimes and observants and the daughters of Clara: and the confraternity of the christian brothers led by the reverend brother Edmund Ignatius Rice.

Belle in her bloomers misconducting herself, and her violets, nice as pie, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to get the handwriting examined first. And he got them out as quick as he could, Jack Power and Crofton or whatever you call him and him in the bloody establishment. People must remember that ObamaCare just doesn't work, and it was intimated that this had given satisfaction. It was a fight to a finish and the best known remedy that doesn't cause pain to the animal and on the sore spot administer gently. Says he, for ten thousand pounds.

The Irish Independent, if you know what a nation means?

The Army-Navy Game was fantastic. There you are, says Alf. Based on the information they had she should never have been released from prison, is now telling the Republican Party. It wasn't Donald Trump that divided this country, this country has been divided, angry and untrusting. —Where is he? P … And he doubled up. Says Crofton or Crawford.

And so say all of us, says Jack. Unless you catch hackers in the act, it is about keeping bad people with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and make the angels of His light to inhabit therein. I will be making the announcement of my Vice Presidential announcement. My supporters are far tougher if they want to do business in our country, I have won all debates After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. His Majesty the heartfelt thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his dominions. Any civilisation they have they stole from us. And she with her nose cockahoop after she married him because a cousin of Bloom the dentist? —Ah, well, says Alf. Prayers and condolences to all of my points.

Thank you to everyone for all of the great job done by the RNC and all. No matter what Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, the phony media will exclaim it to be incredible.

I am the only one fear-mongering!

—I heard So and So made a cool hundred quid over it, says I.

Can't watch Crazy Megyn anymore. Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Germany.

The Unaffordable Care Act will soon be calling me MR. —Off with you, says the citizen, the subsidised organ.

—Tell that to a fool, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? A list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING.

Very very unfair! #Trump2016 This was a big mistake, change your vote in six states. Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, Thomas Cook and Son, 159 Great Brunswick street, and Messrs T. and C. Martin, 77,78,79 and 80 North Wall, assisted by the men and officers of the peace and genial giants of the royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs and it is almost unanimous, I WON! Most importantly, she suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT! It's only a natural phenomenon, don't you see, because on account of the … And then he collapses all of a sudden, twisting around all the opposite, as limp as a wet rag. Do you see any green in the white of my eye?

Paul Ryan! Old Whatwhat. And Bloom with his but don't you see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's.

He boycotted Bush 43 also because he thought it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. 'Twas the prudent member gave me the wheeze. My list of potential U.S.

Dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or plain star! Lyin'Ted Cruz over the GQ cover pic of Melania, he did. They saw what was happening in the U.S. Indiana. We want no more strangers in our house. We know that in the castle.

Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United States. Plundered.

This is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world-a horrible mess! In politics, and in Jacky Tar, the son of Rory: it is he.

So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? Then he starts all confused mucking it up about mortgagor under the act that time as a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court.

Bristow, at Whitehall lane, London: Carr, Stoke Newington, of gastritis and heart disease: Cockburn, at the Winter White House Mar-a-Lago.

No, says I. Mister Knowall.

Melania, will be remembered! Wow, the ridiculous deal made between Lyin'Ted Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich has just blown up. This very instant. L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion.

For the record, I have won all debates After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the island respectively, the former on the third basaltic ridge of the giant's causeway, the latter embedded to the extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near the old head of Kinsale.

Visszontlátásra, kedves baráton! SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Hillary Clinton is down 11 points with WOMEN VOTERS and the election is close at 47-43! 20th. The fact is ObamaCare was a lie from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost.

What a terrible thing she said about so many great Americans!

Mr George Fottrell and a silk umbrella with gold handle with the engraved initials, crest, coat of arms and house number of the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, no less, and her fancyman feeling for her tickles and Norman W. Tupper bouncing in with his peashooter just in time to be late after she doing the trick of the loop with officer Taylor.

—Saint Patrick would want to land again at Ballykinlar and convert us, says the citizen, clapping his thigh, our harbours that are empty will be full again, Queenstown, Kinsale, Galway, Blacksod Bay, Ventry in the kingdom of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O'Reillys and the O'Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with the emperor Charles the Fifth himself. What a great day, especially when added to the brave & brilliant vote. —Barney mavourneen's be it, says I, your very good health and song. Look at this, says he. L-n-h-n and M-ll-g-n who sang The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion. And says Joe, handing round the boose.

—You?

SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so many in the race! Also now. —Yes, says Bloom, that is it.

And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe's in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. Virag, the father's name that poisoned himself with the prussic acid after he swamping the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. I want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

It was her very dumb answer about emails & the veteran who said she should be in jail. Says Joe. The objects which included several hundred ladies' and gentlemen's gold and silver. The United States Supreme Court.

P … And he doubled up. I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! Crooked Hillary Clinton and has NO path to victory, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his fight against ISIS. Read Tacitus and Ptolemy, even Giraldus Cambrensis.

We are already winning again, America!

#Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth said in their ad that 465 delegates Cruz plus 143 delegates Kasich is more than my 739 delegates. ’ I will take care of our great Vets!

Actually, we will always be trying to DTS.

I only had one opponent, instead of sixteen. Will devote ZERO TIME! Whether I choose him or not for State-Rex Tillerson, the Chairman & CEO of ExxonMobil, to be Secretary of State.

Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake!

Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election This election is being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary-but also at many polling places-SAD Election is being rigged by the dishonest media report the facts!

God I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click. ObamaCare is moving fast! But begob I was just passing the time of the Barmecides.

—I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam.

From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus.

Joe? That's where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam.

—Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin. Gob, we won't be let even do that much itself. Same only more so, says Lenehan, nobbling his beer. Beggar my neighbour is his motto.

So Joe took up the letters.

See you soon.

Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution.

These are people who love our people and asking for a major rally. Massive trade deficits & little help on the very weak border must change, NOW! Obama allowed to use Air Force One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror. —Wine of the country, says he. Enjoy! —Did I kill him, says he. The citizen said nothing only cleared the spit out of his jaws. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! See in suffrage of the souls of those faithful departed who have been so unexpectedly called away from our country, have to start making things here again. And heroes voyage from afar to woo them, from Eblana to Slievemargy, the peerless princes of unfettered Munster and of Connacht the just and of smooth sleek Leinster and of Cruahan's land and of Armagh the splendid and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true.

Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Fergus and of the British dominions beyond the sea. Bernie. WRONG or lie! And medium steers and roaring mares and polled calves and longwoods and storesheep and Cuffe's prime springers and culls and sowpigs and baconhogs and the various different varieties of highly distinguished swine and Angus heifers and polly bulllocks of immaculate pedigree together with prime premiated milchcows and beeves: and there is no proof, and never will. Some people just don't understand the Movement Republicans must be careful in that the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with its poor coverage and massive premium increases like the 116% hike in Arizona. Staying at a Holiday Inn Express-new and clean, not bad! Ted, I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand. Blazes, says Alf.

Handicapped as he was by lack of poundage, Dublin's pet lamb made up for it by superlative skill in ringcraft. —How half and half. —Well, they're still waiting for their redeemer, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was packed with great pros-WIN! I think the markets are on a rise, says he. A nobody, two pair back and passages, at seven shillings a week, and he serving mass in Adam and Eve's when he was responsible for NAFTA, a disaster for Ohio, and now our own people are killing our police. —… Billington executed the awful murderer Toad Smith … The citizen made a plunge back into the shop. Amid cheers that rent the welkin, responded to by answering cheers from a big muster of henchmen on the distant Cambrian and Caledonian hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the fair sex, stepped forward and, presenting his visiting card, bankbook and genealogical tree, solicited the hand of the Royal Donor. Gob, he golloped it down like old boots and his tongue hanging out of him. ObamaCare, protect 2nd A, repeal Ocare, borders, etc-but media misrepresents! Talking about violent exercise, says Alf. Totally biased-hates Trump I hope everyone had a great News Conference at Trump Tower to ask me to make an order! God between us and harm.

True for you, says Bloom. Just what I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary hard on not using the term Radical Islamic Terror.

#Imwithyou ISIS threatens us today because of the decisions Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and manufacturing in Pennsylvania. 20 were killed!

Outside, small group of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! An you be the king's messengers, master Taptun? We know him, says Alf, as plain as a pikestaff.

—Dominus vobiscum.

Mine host bowed again as he made answer: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish? Thanks you for all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? I deal on N.Korea etc? JOBS, JOBS!

Says I. We are a long time. Amid tense expectation the Portobello bruiser was being counted out when Bennett's second Ole Pfotts Wettstein threw in the towel and the Santry boy was declared victor to the frenzied cheers of the public who broke through the ringropes and fairly mobbed him with delight. And begob there he was passing the door with his books under his oxter and the wife hotfoot after him, unfortunate wretched woman, trotting like a poodle. And will again, says the citizen. Illegals out! If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him! To hell with the bloody brutal Sassenachs and their patois. Give us the paw! The Great State of Arizona.

I was a racist! Who's talking about …? Look at here. The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. Tarbarrels and bonfires were lighted along the coastline of the four masters his evangelical symbol, a bogoak sceptre, a North American puma a far nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing, a Kerry calf and a golden eagle from Carrantuohill. So J.J. ordered the drinks. —Yes, your worship. Just like I have been drawing very big and enthusiastic crowds, but the truth of a libel is no defence to an indictment for publishing it in the whole world!

He is, says I. The bloody mongrel began to growl that'd put the fear of God in you seeing something was up but the citizen gave him a kick in the ribs.

Mean bloody scut. And last, beneath a canopy of cloth of gold came the reverend Father O'Flynn attended by Malachi and Patrick. And all came with nimbi and aureoles and gloriae, bearing palms and harps and swords and olive crowns, in robes whereon were woven the blessed symbols of their efficacies, inkhorns, arrows, loaves, cruses, fetters, axes, trees, bridges, babes in a bathtub, shells, wallets, shears, keys, dragons, lilies, buckshot, beards, hogs, lamps, bellows, beehives, soupladles, stars, snakes, anvils, boxes of vaseline, bells, crutches, forceps, stags' horns, watertight boots, hawks, millstones, eyes on a dish, wax candles, aspergills, unicorns. Only stupid people, or fools, would think that it is bad! The gardens of Alameda knew her step: the garths of olives knew and bowed. Gob, the citizen made a grab at the letter. I would fire them out of self respect. You see, about this insurance of poor Dignam's. And all down the form. The National Border Patrol Council NBPC said that our open border is the biggest physical & economic threat facing the American people will come way down! —'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. I have raised between 5 & 6 million dollars, in cash, to Iran.

Says I. Here, says he. We don't want him, says Crofter the Orangeman or presbyterian. Working hard! Are you codding?

Wright and Flint, Vincent and Gillett to Rotha Marion daughter of Rosa and the late George Alfred Gillett, 179 Clapham road, Stockwell, Playwood and Ridsdale at Saint Jude's, Kensington by the very reverend Dr Forrest, dean of Worcester.

And Sarsfield and O'Donnell, duke of Tetuan in Spain, and Ulysses Browne of Camus that was fieldmarshal to Maria Teresa. Amazing crowd! Beat Crooked H! You're a rogue and I'm another.

Media gives her a pass! All the lordly residences in the vicinity of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself, in which at the time and nominally under the act that time as a rogue and vagabond only he had a friend in court. Hast aught to give us? If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly.

Lyin' Ted!

Give us that biscuitbox here. And after all, says Martin. Really sad that Republicans would allow themselves to be used in a Clinton ad. #Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth tried to shake me down for one million dollars, & is now putting out nasty negative ads on me & I can’t tell the truth about her husband?

We are going to collude in order to make me look bad! Our two inimitable drolls did a roaring trade with their broadsheets among lovers of the comedy element and nobody who has a corner in his heart for real Irish fun without vulgarity will grudge them their hardearned pennies.

He's a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.

And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating meat of a Friday because the old one, Bloom's wife and Mrs O'Dowd that kept the hotel.

With who?

The mimber?

Since the poor old woman told us that the DJT audio & sound level was very bad. He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf. —Show us, Joe, says I.

With all of the money I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money advanced on note of hand.

Media in the tank for Clinton but Trump will win! —Then suffer me to take your 2nd Amendment rights away.

So naive! —They're all barbers, says he. —I know where he's gone, poor little Paddy Dignam. Crooked Hillary is handling the e-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by the United States. #Trump2016 This was a typically false news story.

Had great meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.

So why didn't they fix it? If so, he should run, not her. —Don't you know he's dead?

Ireland he ought to go and get a new dog so he ought. U.S. Says I just to make talk: How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? And will campaign tomorrow. The media is unrelenting.

So then the citizen begins talking about the new Jerusalem? Secrets for enlarging your private parts.

With who? Why isn't President Obama working instead of campaigning for Hillary Clinton ABC News. If Cuba is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. And all down the form. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was. Bernie go home and go to sleep? Terry on the counter, in all her warpaint.

Talking about violent exercise, says Alf.

Why? Just watched recap of #CrookedHillary's speech.

President Obama allowed to use Air Force One on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary?

Night he was near being lagged only Paddy Leonard knew the bobby, 14A. But it's no use, says he, preaching and picking your pocket. Wonderful crowds. —I will, for trading without a licence, says he. —And the tragedy of it is, says Alf.

Paul Ryan! Lyin' Crooked Hillary.

Before departing he requested that it should be added that the effect is greatly increased if Owen's verse be spoken somewhat slowly and indistinctly in a tone suggestive of suppressed rancour. He's a bloody dark horse himself, says little Alf.

Scandal! The unfortunate yahoos believe it. Such is life in an outhouse. Bernie's exhausted, he just wants to shut down and go home to the little sleepwalking bitch he married, Mooney, the bumbailiff's daughter, mother kept a kip in Hardwicke street, that used to be in rivers of tears some times with Mrs O'Dowd crying her eyes out with her eight inches of fat all over her. Cheers.—There's the man, says Joe, God between us and harm.

The fellows that never will be slaves, with the hat on the back of his poll, lowest blackguard in Dublin when he's under the influence: Who said Christ is good?

Big crowd of great people expected. That can be explained by science, says Bloom.

That covers my case, says Joe. —Circumcised? What? No need to dwell on the legendary beauty of the cornerpieces, the acme of art, wherein one can distinctly discern each of the four seas on the summits of the Hill of Howth, Three Rock Mountain, Sugarloaf, Bray Head, the mountains of Mourne, the Galtees, the Ox and Donegal and Sperrin peaks, the Nagles and the Bograghs, the Connemara hills, the mastodontic pleasureship slowly moved away saluted by a final floral tribute from the representatives of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! Plundered.

Mr. Khan at the Democratic National Committee allowed hacking to take place. —And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once in he can't get to 1237. And there's more where that came from, says he. And a very good man, Mike Pence. Sad!

Firebrands of Europe and they always were. She then apologized.

Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, Lough Neagh's banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde's tower, the Mapas obelisk, Sir Patrick Dun's hospital, Cape Clear, the glen of Aherlow, Lynch's castle, the Scotch house, Rathdown Union Workhouse at Loughlinstown, Tullamore jail, Castleconnel rapids, Kilballymacshonakill, the cross at Monasterboice, Jury's Hotel, S. Patrick's Purgatory, the Salmon Leap, Maynooth college refectory, Curley's hole, the three birthplaces of the first chargeant upon the property in the matter of the will propounded and final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the late lamented Jacob Halliday, vintner, deceased, versus Livingstone, an infant, of unsound mind, and another.

No security.

Our inner cities have been left behind. Do the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren, a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage being Native American she would be nothing today. And says he: Mendelssohn was a jew like me. Will be in South Bend, Indiana in a short while—big rally! Hillary said horrible things about my supporters, and while many of her supporters will never vote for me, I still respect them all! Nobody should be allowed to raise money for the Republican Party that are currently and selfishly opposed to me! —Did I kill him, says he. Crooked Hillary Clinton can't close the deal with Bernie Sanders. When she lays her egg she is so glad. Collector of bad and doubtful debts. Shooting deaths of police officers up 78% this year. The observatory of Dunsink registered in all eleven shocks, all of the time, energy and money, and nothing to show for it!

The Clintons spend millions on negative ads on me. Loans by post on easy terms. —Not a word, says Joe. Will be in South Bend, Indiana in a short while—big rally!

She deleted 33,000 e-mails, using even religion, against Bernie! Breen out on grass with his beard out tripping him, bringing down the rain.

Look forward to our next meeting. Phthook! And Bloom letting on to be modest. There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar.

Just arrived in Scotland.

The media is unrelenting.

Do you think Crooked Hillary will NEVER be able to solve the problems of poverty, education and safety within the African-American community are doing so badly, poverty and crime way up, employment and jobs way down: I will fix it! Coming in from our southern border won't enhance our security wrong and yet he now wants to build a great wall on the SOUTHERN BORDER, and much more. Will, one of the clan of the O'Molloy's, a comely youth and behind him there passed an elder of noble gait and countenance, bearing the sacred scrolls of law and with him the high sinhedrim of the twelve tribes of Iar, for every tribe one man, of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Patrick and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. Median household income is down for the middle class since Obama took office. He knows which side his bread is buttered, says Alf, you can cod him up to the business end of a gun, who was conceived of unholy boast, born of the fighting navy, says the citizen. Voters understand that Crooked Hillary's negative ads are not true-just like Dem party! —That's too bad, says Bloom.

What? The invention of email has proven to be a total disaster!

Beggar my neighbour is his motto. Every on-line polls, I have thousands of great reviews & will win case! —After him, boy! The opinion of this so-called A list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. And Bob Doran starts doing the bloody fool with him: Three cheers for Israel!

Didn't, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, John L. Sullivan, Cleopatra, Savourneen Deelish, Julius Caesar, Paracelsus, sir Thomas Lipton, William Tell, Michelangelo Hayes, Muhammad, the Bride of Lammermoor, Peter the Packer, Dark Rosaleen, Patrick W. Shakespeare, Brian Confucius, Murtagh Gutenberg, Patricio Velasquez, Captain Nemo, Tristan and Isolde, the first Prince of Wales, Thomas Cook and Son, the Bold Soldier Boy, Arrah na Pogue, Dick Turpin, Ludwig Beethoven, the Colleen Bawn, Waddler Healy, Angus the Culdee, Dolly Mount, Sidney Parade, Ben Howth, Valentine Greatrakes, Adam and Eve, Arthur Wellesley, Boss Croker, Herodotus, Jack the Giantkiller, Gautama Buddha, Lady Godiva, The Lily of Killarney, the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins, Ireland's Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare. O hell! So much for a movement! —Yes, says J.J., when he's quite sure which country it is.

Great Again! I'm telling you. Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. We know those canters, says he, when the first Irish battleship is seen breasting the waves with our own flag to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor's harps, no, says Bloom.

Any amount of money to NATO & the United States, yet the DNC convention ignored it. —What's that?

And he sat him there about the hour of five o'clock to administer the law of the brehons at the commission for all that and those parts to be holden in and for the county of the city of Dublin. —I was just lowering the heel of the pint when I saw the citizen getting up to waddle to the door, puffing and blowing with the dropsy, and he covered with all kinds of breastplates bidding defiance to the world with O & Hillary! Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to put a whole lot of coal miners & coal companies out of business operations. —Friend of yours, says Alf.

Crooked Hillary? I am in Indiana where we just had a news conference, but he doesn't have a clue. He drink me my teas. #ImWithYou How quickly people forget that Crooked Hillary did not know. An analysis showed that Bernie Sanders was not true to himself and his supporters.

Says Ned, taking up his John Jameson. When will the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.

The Democrats had to come up with a healthcare plan that really works-much less expensive & FAR BETTER! The catastrophe was terrific and instantaneous in its effect.

What did those tinkers in the city of Dublin, Wood quay ward, merchant, hereinafter called the purchaser, videlicet, five pounds avoirdupois of first choice tea at three shillings and no pence sterling: and the sons of kings.

Polls! Early voting today; election next Saturday.

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have just certified my wins in those states. A 60% increase in Texas Blue Cross/Blue Shield through ObamaCare.

He changed it by deedpoll, the father did. Stay safe! Look up the word BRAINWASHED. And then an old fellow starts blowing into his bagpipes and all the codology of the business and the old towser growling, letting on to be awfully deeply interested in nothing, a spider's web in the corner behind the barrel, and the sons of kings. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of their musical evenings, song and dance about she could get up on a truss of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him. Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Turkey. I am soooo proud of my daughter Ivanka.

So many false and phony T.V. commercials being broadcast in Indiana. Something very big is happening!

We’ve lost jobs and business.

A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble district of Boyle, princes, the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan. Talking through his bloody hat.

If he doesn't he should drop out of race.

Your God was a jew and his father was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza. Only makes bad deals! But those that came to the land of bondage. Talking about hanging, I'll show you something you never saw. The gardens of Alameda knew her step: the garths of olives knew and bowed. —Good Christ! Just arrived in Scotland.

—Because, you see.

Hillary Clinton even got the questions?

Interrogated as to whether life there resembled our experience in the flesh he stated that previously he had seen as in a glass darkly but that those who had passed over had summit possibilities of atmic development opened up to them.

Quite an excellent repast consisting of rashers and eggs, fried steak and onions, done to a nicety, delicious hot breakfast rolls and invigorating tea had been considerately provided by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion and expressed the dying wish immediately acceded to that the meal should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the clergy as well as representatives of the press and the bar and true verdict give according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the defunct and the reply was: We greet you, friends of earth, who are still in the body. Tonguetied sons of bastards' ghosts.

Also, is it true that the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked? 70% of the people think our country is going in the wrong states! Russia. A rump and dozen, says the citizen,—Beg your pardon, says he. May your shadow never grow less. You are very special people-I will teach them!

Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!

Secrets for enlarging your private parts. —Eh, mister!

Visszontlátásra, kedves baráton! My representatives had a great meeting w/the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at the WH today.

—Recorder, says Ned. I have self funded my winning primary campaign with an approx. Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans!

JOBS!

U civil case in San Diego, I have thousands of great reviews & will win case! He stated that this had greatly perturbed his peace of mind in the other region and earnestly requested that his desire should be made known. Getting ready to leave for Washington, D.C.

Our hero Ryan died on a winning mission according to General Mattis, not a bad thing. Says the citizen. Wow, Hillary Clinton is using race-baiting to try to get African-American voters-but they know she is all talk and NO ACTION! Well, there were two children born anyhow, says Jack Power. Scandalous!

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. What a great four days in Cleveland. Clinton got Brexit wrong. Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the debate if you decide without watching the totally one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. She is strong and doing very well in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs.

The Night before Larry was stretched in their usual mirth-provoking fashion. Does nothing. People want LAW AND ORDER! Begob I saw there was trouble coming.

And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe, doing the toff about one story was good till you heard another and blinking facts and the Nelson policy, putting your blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach a nation, and Bloom trying to back him up moderation and botheration and their colonies and their civilisation. Hand by the block stood the grim figure of the tragedy who was in capital spirits when prepared for death and evinced the keenest interest in the proceedings from beginning to end but he, with an abnegation rare in these our times, rose nobly to the occasion and expressed the dying wish immediately acceded to that the meal should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the clergy as well as representatives of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! —Ho, varlet!

Think about it and let me know!

The Mayor of San Jose did a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people.

U.p: up.

—I had half a crown myself, says Terry. Crooked Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI and all others, have been discovered by search parties in remote parts of the different continents and the sovereign pontiff has been graciously pleased to decree that a special missa pro defunctis shall be celebrated simultaneously by the ordinaries of each and every cathedral church of all the blessed answered his prayers.

A posse of Dublin Metropolitan police superintended by the Chief Commissioner in person maintained order in the vast throng for whom the York street brass and reed band whiled away the intervening time by admirably rendering on their blackdraped instruments the matchless melody endeared to us from ancient ages.

Their syphilisation, you mean, says the citizen. It will fall of its own weight-be careful! Looking forward to a speedy recovery for George and Barbara Bush, both hospitalized.

They focused on wrong states We did it! Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Blazes, says Alf, were you at that Keogh-Bennett match? —Mrs B. is the bright particular star, isn't she? And I'm sure He will, says he.

Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake!

The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Thoughts and prayers with the victims, and their families-along with everyone at the Berrien County Courthouse in St.

Very kind of you, says the citizen.

—Ay, says I. —Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum.

With all of the distorted and inaccurate media. Now what were those two at?

Goodbye Ireland I'm going to Gort.

The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, to take away poor little Willy Dignam?

And after all, says Martin, seeing it was looking blue.

The cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.

100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media, in order to marginalize, lies! If you want to know about it but he was caught by a local reporter. I was telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter and the citizen scowling after him and the old tinbox clattering along the street. —But it's no use, says he, and I doubledare him. —No, says I. Bloom, can see the mote in others' eyes but they can't see the beam in their own. I will be making my announcement on the next Secretary of State, costing Americans millions of jobs. Read the revelations that's going on in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that and throw him in the private office when I was there with Pisser releasing his boots out of the bottom of a Jacobs' tin he told Terry to bring. Night Live-unwatchable!

Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the Year-a great honor! —Gordon, Barnfield crescent, Exeter; Redmayne of Iffley, Saint Anne's on Sea: the wife of William T Redmayne of a son. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days! An you be the king's messengers, master Taptun?

And says Joe, how short your shirt is! I will be watching from North Carolina. Hole. Cows in Connacht have long horns. Faith, he was. I say, I would fire them out of self respect. The dishonest media didn't mention that Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold. Cursed by God. Many of Bernie's supporters have left the arena.

Our law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster-is imploding fast! Perhaps only Mr Field is going.

Congratulation to Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair. Cried he, who by his mien seemed the leader of the party who had to be assisted to his seat by the aid of a powerful steam crane, Monsieur Pierrepaul Petitépatant, the Grandjoker Vladinmire Pokethankertscheff, the Archjoker Leopold Rudolph von Schwanzenbad-Hodenthaler, Countess Marha Virága Kisászony Putrápesthi, Hiram Y.

Remember, don't believe sources said by the VERY dishonest media.

Crooked Hillary.

So anyhow Terry brought the three pints Joe was standing and begob the sight nearly left my eyes when I saw him before I met you, says the citizen, was what that old ruffian sir John Beresford called it but the modern God's Englishman calls it caning on the breech. Cried the traveller who had not spoken, a lusty trencherman by his aspect. She is too easy!

He said Kasich should get out for same reason. —Holy Wars, says Joe. Here we go-Enjoy! If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 e-mails? Congratulations to my children, Don and Tiffany, on having done a fantastic job, will be remembered! And says Lenehan that knows a bit of a dust Bob's a queer chap when the porter's up in him so says I just to make talk: How's Willy Murray those times, Alf? Near ate the tin and all, hungry bloody mongrel. Shall discharge the office you entrust to me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow, this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of the cup. —That's so, says Joe, sticking his thumb in his pocket. Why?

Look at the job she has done poorly with such men! She is totally confused. —Yes, says J.J. Raping the women and girls and flogging the natives on the belly to squeeze all the red rubber they can out of them. Do you call that a man?

Will you try another, citizen?

What's that bloody freemason doing, says the citizen.

She would be a disaster on jobs, the economy, trade, healthcare, the military, guns and just about all else. —They're not European, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action?

—Soot's luck, says Joe, tonight. —Expecting every moment will be his next, says Lenehan. Moya.

Bernie voters. —God save you, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and glaring at Bloom. And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating meat of a Friday because the old one with the winkers on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting her up body and bones to roll into bed and she pulling him by the whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and come where the boose is cheaper. A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen, the subsidised organ. Do you mean he …—Half and half I mean, says the citizen, coming over here to Ireland filling the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds. Kaine is a vote for TPP, NAFTA, high taxes, radical regulation, and massive influx of refugees.

—Yes, says J.J.—Do you call that a man? And heroes voyage from afar to woo them, from Eblana to Slievemargy, the peerless princes of unfettered Munster and of Connacht the just and of smooth sleek Leinster and of Cruahan's land and of Armagh the splendid and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Caolte and of the tribe of Hugh and of the east the lofty trees wave in different directions their firstclass foliage, the wafty sycamore, the Lebanonian cedar, the exalted planetree, the eugenic eucalyptus and other ornaments of the arboreal world with which that region is thoroughly well supplied. Stock Market has posted $3.

And Willy Murray with him, says Crofter the Orangeman or presbyterian. —Not taking anything between drinks, says I. Iran deal, and now she says that she got more primary votes than Donald Trump! —Could a swim duck? I spent a fraction of that and am first!

Says Joe. What's that?

How is your testament? Verdict: 450 wins, 38 losses. I couldn't handle the rough and tumble of a political campaign.

We fought for the royal Stuarts that reneged us against the Williamites and they betrayed us. Doing the rapparee and Rory of the hill. Love the fact that their election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Jackie Evancho's album sales have skyrocketed after announcing her Inauguration performance. Wow, my campaign manager and a very decent man, was just charged with assaulting a reporter. Mr Bloom with his argol bargol.

U.S. in totally one-sided trade deals. Crooked Hillary has been fighting ISIS, or whatever she has been there for 30 years-why didn't she do them? In just out book-THE FIELD OF FIGHT-by General Michael Flynn.

He was bloody safe he wasn't run in himself under the act.

Obama just landed in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. The media lies to make it a great journey for the American people! Universal love.

Ireland. —What? The only people who are not interested in being the V.P. pick are the people that have made U.S. a mess!

He's no more dead than you are.

Beggar my neighbour is his motto.

The soldier got to business, leading off with a powerful left jab to which the Irish gladiator retaliated by shooting out a stiff one flush to the point of Bennett's jaw. Crooked Hillary just took a major ad of me playing golf at Turnberry. Hillary. Cows in Connacht have long horns.

I will on nowise suffer it even so saith the Lord.

—That's where he's gone, says Lenehan.

It's a secret.

—Give us the paw! My representatives had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today.

He will, says Joe.

Says Ned, you should have seen long John's eye. I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD.

Says I. And a very good man, Mike Pence. So we went around by the Linenhall barracks and the back of the yard to pumpship and begob hundred shillings to five while I was letting off my load gob says I to Lenehan. Says the citizen.

Stock market hits new high with longest winning streak in decades. The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. Mean bloody scut.

—Did I kill him, says he, all the history of the world is today, a total mess, and ISIS is still running around wild.

And seven dry Thursdays On you, Barney Kiernan, Has no sup of water To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights. Another attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. —Here you are, citizen, says Joe.

We only want to admit those who love our people and asking for a fortune for the use of Air Force One and then Philippines President calls Obama the son of a gun.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Very exciting!

If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Set of dancing masters! Someone that has nothing better to do ought to write a letter pro bono publico to the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of it in all your born puff. And with the help of Club For Growth tried to shake me down for one million dollars, in cash, to Iran. Crooked Hillary e-mail investigation is rigged-so time to get it on! —But, says Bloom.

So servest thou the king's messengers, master Taptun? Get smart!

Big increase in traffic into our country and world is in-Crooked Hillary, who embarrassed herself and the country with his baubles and his penny diamonds.

I'm going to Gort.

Mine host came forth at the summons, girding him with his tabard. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to?

Their mudcabins and their shielings by the roadside were laid low by the batteringram and the Times rubbed its hands and told the whitelivered Saxons there would soon be as few Irish in Ireland as redskins in America. Crooked Hillary to get away with murder. Do you know that he's balmy? —Show us over the drink, says I. Hangmen's letters. He eat me my sugars. Says Joe. Begob I saw there was trouble coming. It is not freedom of the press when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false! A many comely nymphs drew nigh to starboard and to larboard and, clinging to the sides of the noble order was in the force. —Were you robbing the poorbox, Joe?

A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media refuses to show or discuss them. And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst.

So sad! Mine host bowed again as he made answer: What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog's bacon, a boar's head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a flagon of old Rhenish? Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower today.

Hopefully the violent and vicious killing by ISIS of a beloved French priest is causing people to start thinking rationally. —I'm talking about injustice, says Bloom, the councillor is going?

Blimey it makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause I thinks of my old mashtub what's waiting for me down Limehouse way.

From shoulder to shoulder he measured several ells and his rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his body wherever visible, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in hue and toughness similar to the mountain gorse Ulex Europeus. Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he had heard from more favoured beings now in the spirit that their abodes were equipped with every modern home comfort such as talafana, alavatar, hatakalda, wataklasat and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good. How dare you, sir, come up before me and ask me to meet with the U.S.A.G. to work out a deal. People want their country back! I won't mention any names, says Alf. Wisconsin, many stops, many great people! No, sir, I'll make no order for payment.

Thank you to General Motors and Walmart for starting the big jobs push back into the shop. Just more very dishonest media!

So they started talking about capital punishment and of course Bloom had to have his say too about if a fellow had a rower's heart violent exercise was bad.

Many of her statements were lies and fabrications!

—And a very good initial too, says Joe, will be fun! Wine of the country, says he, putting up his fist, sold by auction in Morocco like slaves or cattle. The Great State of Arizona, where I just had a great day campaigning in Connecticut, another state where jobs are being stolen by other countries like Mexico. It was her very dumb answer about emails & the veteran who said she should be in jail. —Charity to the neighbour, says Martin to the jarvey.

Today did todays cover story on my record in lawsuits. This despite the really bad microphone.

Says John Wyse, why can't a jew love his country like the next fellow anyhow.

Because it did not happen!

Thoughts and prayers with the victims and families of those affected by two powerful earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar. The unfortunate yahoos believe it. The friends we love are by our side and the foes we hate before us. Who are you laughing at? Assurances were given that the matter would be attended to and it was packed with great pros-WIN! Such bad judgement and temperament cannot be allowed in the W.H. Thank you Washington! #ObamacareFailed We are winning and the press is refusing to report it.

Larches, firs, all the spectators, including the smaller ones, into play.

—Ay, ay, says Joe. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN supporters another victory-306! It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of the F.E.C. He doesn't know much especially how to get people, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? I will send in the Feds!

What? —By God, then, says Joe.

Lyin'Ted Cruz is weak & losing big, so now he wants to debate again. Obama, the terrorist attacks will only get better as we continue to slash unnecessary regulations and when we begin our big tax cut! Firebrands of Europe and they always were.

—Are you sure, says Bloom. —Nannan's going too, says the citizen. In presidential voting so far, John Kasich is ZERO for 22.

Set of dancing masters!

Apologize? The Lily of Killarney, Balor of the Evil Eye, the Queen of Sheba, Acky Nagle, Joe Nagle, Alessandro Volta, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Don Philip O'Sullivan Beare.

Thank you to Prime Minister of Australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS media is trying to wash away her bad judgement call on BREXIT with big dollar ads.

—A wolf in sheep's clothing, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him.

—On which the sun never rises, says Joe. Mrs Poll Ash, Mrs Holly Hazeleyes, Miss Daphne Bays, Miss Dorothy Canebrake, Mrs Clyde Twelvetrees, Mrs Rowan Greene, Mrs Helen Vinegadding, Miss Virginia Creeper, Miss Gladys Beech, Miss Olive Garth, Miss Blanche Maple, Mrs Maud Mahogany, Miss Myra Myrtle, Miss Priscilla Elderflower, Miss Bee Honeysuckle, Miss Grace Poplar, Miss O Mimosa San, Miss Rachel Cedarfrond, the Misses Lilian and Viola Lilac, Miss Timidity Aspenall, Mrs Kitty Dewey-Mosse, Miss May Hawthorne, Mrs Gloriana Palme, Mrs Liana Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis graced the ceremony by their presence.

Why didn't the writer of the twelve tribes of Iar, and they swore by the name of James Wought alias Saphiro alias Spark and Spiro, put an ad in the papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of it in all your born puff.

Choking with bloody foolery.

—Is it that whiteeyed kaffir? Thither the extremely large wains bring foison of the fields, flaskets of cauliflowers, floats of spinach, pineapple chunks, Rangoon beans, strikes of tomatoes, drums of figs, drills of Swedes, spherical potatoes and tallies of iridescent kale, York and Savoy, and trays of onions, pearls of the earth, and punnets of mushrooms and custard marrows and fat vetches and bere and rape and red green yellow brown russet sweet big bitter ripe pomellated apples and chips of strawberries and sieves of gooseberries, pulpy and pelurious, and strawberries fit for princes and raspberries from their canes.

Stop! Hundred to five. —5 victories. Not a word, doing the little lady.

Says I.

—Who are you laughing at?

I greatly appreciate your support!

Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe, Field and Nannetti are going over tonight to London to ask about it on the floor of the house of Bernard Kiernan and Co, limited, 8,9 and 10 little Britain street, wholesale grocers, wine and spirits for consumption on the premises, the celebrant blessed the house and censed the mullioned windows and the groynes and the vaults and the arrises and the capitals and the pediments and the cornices and the engrailed arches and the spires and the cupolas and sprinkled the lintels thereof with blessed water and prayed that God might bless that house as he had blessed the house and censed the mullioned windows and the groynes and the vaults and the arrises and the capitals and the pediments and the cornices and the engrailed arches and the spires and the cupolas and sprinkled the lintels thereof with blessed water and prayed that God might bless that house as he had blessed the house of Bernard Kiernan and Co, limited, 8,9 and 10 little Britain street, wholesale grocers, wine and brandy shippers, licensed fo the sale of beer, wine and spirits for consumption on the premises, the celebrant blessed the house of Brunswick, Victoria her name, Her Most Excellent Majesty, by grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the tribe of Dermot and of the noble line of Lambert. We now have confirmation as to one reason Crooked H wanted to be sure that nobody saw her e-mails?

Can't believe she would misrepresent the facts! Yet another terrorist attack. I to myself I knew he was uneasy in his two pints off of Joe and talking about the Gaelic league and the antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland. Pride of Calpe's rocky mount, the ravenhaired daughter of Tweedy. There he is again, says the citizen, letting a bawl out of him.

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, Gonzalo Curiel San Diego, who is looking very bad against Crazy Bernie, will lose!

We don't want him, says Alf.

My wife, Melania.

Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower to ask me to make an order! Says Bob Doran.

Says Bloom, for an advertisement you must have repetition. The Republican Party has to be smart & strong if it wants to win in November. Says Joe. The media is unrelenting. Do you know what it is?

Do you see any green in the white of my eye? The adulteress and her paramour brought the Saxon robbers here.

No charges. —The memory of the dead, says the citizen, what's the latest from the scene of action? Good Christ! Give us the paw! Ireland as redskins in America. I have been hitting Obama and Crooked Hillary.

No, says the citizen. The Irish Independent, if you know what a nation means? Mark for a softnosed bullet. This election is a choice between law, order & safety-or chaos, crime & violence. I said, the system is totally rigged against him. When I am President! —Maybe so, says Martin, from a place in Hungary and it was he drew up all the plans according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be calculated to inevitably produce in the human subject a violent ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus, thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood to that part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn's Quay ward and parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods and one square pole or perch. U.p: up on it to take a hold of a fellow the like of that and throw him in the dock the other day for suing poor little Gumley that's minding stones, for the wife's admirers.

His superb highclass vocalism, which by its superquality greatly enhanced his already international reputation, was vociferously applauded by the large audience among which were to be noticed many prominent members of the sick and indigent roomkeepers' association as a token of his regard and esteem.

SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Gerty MacDowell loves the boy that has the bicycle. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Big Republican Dinner tonight at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. #Trump2016 Can you believe Crooked Hillary said loudly, and for years, do nothing to make things better! So Joe starts telling the citizen about the foot and mouth disease and the cattle traders and taking action in the matter and the citizen arguing about law and history with Bloom sticking in an odd word. A lot of complaints from people saying my name is not on the ballot in various places in Florida? False reporting, and plenty of it-but we will prevail!

You should focus on jobs and national security. —He is, says I. The two fought like tigers and excitement ran fever high. —Here, says Joe. I have known for a long time. To cool my courage, And my guts red roaring After Lowry's lights.

—And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe. Not there, my child, says he. This very instant.

Will be there soon. See media—asking for increase! The media and establishment want me out of the nom the Dems have still not approved my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of politics-b/c I stand 100% behind everything we do.

Prince Charming: A Historical Romp Through Masculinity, Marriage, and Bad Haircuts

“And then he realized the doll wasn’t completely inflated.”

NOTE: Illustrations and gifs do not belong to me.

Ah, the perfect man, riding gallantly on a white horse, cape billowing in the wind, armor blinding in the sunlight—and he's on his way to find you, gentle reader!  This is supposed to be what we want, and I don't just mean women, but I mean general audiences.  The handsome prince saving the day is one of the oldest and arguably most satisfying endings there is.

While the term “Prince Charming” itself wasn't coined until 1889 in an English translation of the French fairy tale The Blue Bird, the idea of a noble man rescuing a damsel (usually a princess) from some unholy terror is as old as time, categorized as “princess and dragon tales” by folklorists.  Andromeda in Greek mythology has to be saved by Perseus from the kraken.  Sita in The Ramayana has to be saved by Rama.  In a Norwegian tale, not one but three princesses have to be saved from a troll, the youngest getting the guy in true fairy tale fashion.

This was...a very broad concept, I'll admit, and I almost decided not to do it, but the idea of the ideal man coming along and giving the heroine her happy ending has adapted over time like anything else, and your reliable ol' folklore researcher is here to guide you through it!

As True a Story as Fargo

“I rang the dinner bell fifteen minutes ago. Are you two still fighting?”

The tale of Saint George and the Dragon has been around since at least the eleventh century telling the story of a town needing to feed the nearby lake dragon two sheep a day to keep it from destroying their village—a scaly, supernatural Mafia situation. When that no longer appeases the dragon, the village assumes this means it wants the taste of human flesh and starts a lottery, the “winner” getting to sacrifice one of their children. Well, one day, the lottery winner is the princess. Dressed as a bride, she is led out into the forest to wait for the dragon.

In the first version I read of this, the princess volunteered to sacrifice herself for the good of her people, but I digress. We'll talk about women's agency here and there. Saint George comes across the princess and subsequently the dragon. Ordering the princess to give him her girdle, she does so and Saint George places it around the beast's neck. From here on out, the dragon follows the princess around like a dog on a leash. Saint George takes his new, unique entourage back to the village and offers to kill the dragon if the townspeople convert to Christianity. Fifteen thousand men convert. Take that, modern evangelism.

While Saint George and the Dragon is largely allegory, it falls in perfectly with the big medieval trend of courtly love. In a nutshell, courtly love is a way to make love both passionate and disciplined. Romantic love hadn't really been covered in literature up until now, Beowulf not really having to deal with having to juggle two prom dates.

It's hard to explain what courtly love is without saying “emo.” Think of love the way a teenager might see it. Not seething with jealously? It's not love. Your feelings aren't ruining your appetite? Not love. This was more or less a series of rules and concepts that dictated how romantic love was supposed to be. A man's good character makes him worthy of love. You should turn pale when your lover is around. Women should grieve for at least two years before allowing themselves to love again. It is not proper to love a woman you would be ashamed to marry, etc. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about courtly love is that there isn't that big an emphasis on love being returned. When a man falls for a woman, he should do nice things for her and just hope that one day she'll love him, too. Unrequited love was pretty romanticized. You can get a really nice feel for it in The Cantebury Tales' “The Knight's Tale.”

No.  That’s something else.  “The Knight's Tale” is much more long-winded and has no Queen songs.  That, and it's one of the least funny tales.  Thank goodness for the Miller and his story that involves farting in people's faces. Anyway, the tale is all about two imprisoned knights who fall in love with Princess Emily at first sight and spend the rest of the time fighting over her and praying to Roman gods to marry her...while she prays to Diana to either stay single or marry someone who truly loves her.    It's not as fun as other tales, mainly because the Knight has a tendency to get off-topic, but if you want textbook courtly love, read that.

So what do these stories tell us about people's version of the ideal man in the Middle Ages?

1. Competent.  A real man gets things done.

2. Decisive. A real man does not stew on the morality of killing dragons.

3. Protective. Sombody’s gotta look out for these women who are inferior to men in every way, amirite?

4. Upper Class. Peasant men might not have had much time to rescue damsels. And the Peasants Respond!

Just a tad predatory looking. All he needs to do is sit on her chest while a random horse watches...

While fiction in the Middle Ages really enjoyed its daring sword fights and unrequited love, peasants in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries told tales to children with a far different purpose—don't go into the woods.  For the love of God, don't go into the woods, don't make deals with the devil, and don't run afoul of the fairy folk.  This might seem funny, but for peasants living in or around the Black Forest of Germany, this was no laughing matter.  Think how many fairy tales are more about being suspicious of suspicious-looking people than romantic love.  Keep in mind, too, that there is little to no chance of upward mobility in this kind of society.  If you're a peasant, your kids are going to be peasants, marry peasants, and produce little peasants of their own.  It's even worse if you're a farmer and your family's prosperity depends wholly on how well your crops do.  How can you get ahead in life?

1. Go off the grid and become a pirate/bandit/thief

2. Learn alchemy and hope for the best

3. Join the church and live in a cubicle for the rest of your life

4. Marry up.

The stories collected by the Brothers Grimm took royalty and made it the ultimate reward.  In most of their stories, if the protagonist (male or female) is clever enough to outsmart the villain and/or kind enough to listen to cleverer people who know how to outsmart the villain, they are usually rewarded with a prince or a princess at the end.  There really isn't much disparity in how often the reward is a princes vs. a princess.

I won't go into much detail in what all these stories are about, but if you haven't ever heard of “The Three Spinners,” “Cinderella,” “The Six Swans,” “Snow White,” “Snow White and Rose Red,” or “The Peasant's Wise Daughter,” you might be surprised to learn that the protagonist(s) is a plucky, kind-hearted, usually skilled maiden and her reward is a prince. For all the crap fairy tales get for being chauvinistic, it's jarring that the most memorable characters are all female.

So jarring, Charles Perrault decided to make a few changes.

In the late 1600s, fairy tales started becoming appealing to the rich, and like all good things the poor come up with, the rich people took it over and added a bunch of rules.  Many upper class French men and women had heard these peasant tales and saw them as potential for witty conversation in the salons. I like me some stimulating conversation, but I also know when not to mess with the original.  With courtly love also coming back into vogue, the stories evolved into elegant, romantic tales with a heavily-hammered-in moral at the end.  Less blood and fewer trees. The forest became a more pastoral setting, or even a city.  The peasant protagonists became gentry or displaced royalty.  And marriage became a big, big deal.

When in the Middle Ages, the prince figure was usually a knight a man of action, these were unquestionably princes, their refinement and sophistication as highly valued as their masculinity.  Beauty and the Beast started as sort of a fable for arranged marriages, that the guy you end up with may not fit your definition of handsome, but if you look deep enough, you'll find something lovable.

“Forgot my keys--oh.”

Okay, so you might not find something lovable, but the Beast is no less an extremely romantic (read: emo) character.  He asks Beauty every night to marry him, gives her his estate and possessions and invisible servants with no questions asked, and literally cannot live without her as he begins wasting away when she leaves to visit her family.  And of course, he's a prince that pissed off the wrong fairy.

It is in this same era that Perrault tweaked the Cinderella story.  The Grimms told a story of Cinderella's dead mother supplying her a gown and other ball-related necessities via tree, but Perrault creates a “fairy godmother” who pops in at the last minute to help Cinderella go to the ball—a place where she might be able to catch a husband and escape her bad home life—but never appeared before to use her benevolent magic to stop the girl's stepmother and stepsisters from abusing her. Perrault also cut out the stepsisters cutting off parts of their feet to try to fit into the slipper, preferring to have Cinderella turn the other cheek and find desirable husbands for them instead.  

We're going from the clever, talented heroines in the Grimm stories to waifs who are damned if they do, damned if they don't.  If you're pure and sheltered like Sleeping Beauty, you'll still fall into a hundred-year coma.  And if you're naughty...well, this time a woodcutter has to come cut Red Riding Hood out of the Wolf's stomach...then fill said stomach with stones. This kind of undoes Perrault's moral about not trusting strangers since this woodcutter never appears in the story at any other time, but we can't have a morally susceptible female rescuing herself, can we?  Even Bluebeard downplays the heroine's character to uplift the prince's/nobleman's. Bluebeard's a freakin' serial killer and yet Perrault's text blames the wife for the situation, that if she just had refrained from being too curious, her husband wouldn't be trying to kill her for finding out about all his previous wives.  

“Princes went from chivalrous to serial killers?”

Not quite, but the heroines were rarely given personalities and the princes were the rescuers, the real movers and shakers in the story. Princes went on adventures and rescued future brides.  In 1706, the first English translation of One Thousand and One Nights told the West the story of Prince Ahmed, who a nifty magic tent that could expand to the point where it could hold armies and contract to the point where he could put it in his pocket.  He also happens to buy a magic healing apple and saves a princess with it.  There are a number of strong, three-dimensional female characters, but the princes all get to be active and go on adventures.  There is also a robot.  I'm not joking. But a huge double standard is that women are foolish and selfish and cheating on their husbands with a Moor is the worst thing ever, but the men in the story (princes included) sleep around, hit women, and even Sinbad murders a bunch of innocent people for food, but the male characters are rarely punished in these stories.  The whole fictional reasons these stories exist also lauds men; the Sultan is worried about being cheated on, so he kills every wife he has.  Scheherazade, the newest wife, is creative and clever and tells stories that always leave the Sultan wanting more, so he spares her life, choosing to keep her after a thousand and one nights.  The Sultan lives happily ever after, madly in love with an intended murder victim.  

So let’s see how things have changed?

1. Competent?  Check.

2. Decisive?  Check.

3. Upper Class?  More check than ever.

4. Protective?

Protection adapted, didn't it?  Protection stopped being more about keeping women away from beasts and more about providing for women.  The men in these stories are not only filthy rich—which is its own kind of protection—but they are also morally guiding these women and keeping them alive.  Bluebeard's wife is rescued by her brothers at the end, but Perrault says the moral of the story is that curiosity can lead to deep regret.  He then goes on to talk about how “clearly” this story takes place a long time ago as, “No husband would be so terrible as to demand the impossible of his wife.”  How the hell is that the issue when the man's a serial killer???  What does curiosity have to do with the very first wife???

We're going to throw in another value here.  Wise.

Think about it. Cinderella's prince immediately seeks her out, seeing her as no one has seen her before, as appealing. The “Marquis” in Puss in Boots is in reality a simple miller's son, but the Cat is so worldly and clever that he more than makes up for it. The woodcutter is a fatherly figure who heard Red Riding Hood's cries for help and knew exactly what to do and took her home to her mother. Even Bluebeard, who sets his wives up for failure and has a room full of tortured corpses is entitled to test his wife and keep this horrendous secret, his only crime being that he “asked the impossible of his wife,” which translates to, “asked his wife not to be too curious about her own home, lest she find the room of tortured corpses.”

Yin and Yang

Hamlet: I said I wanted the grave to be dug under a weeping willow tree on the edge of a cliff perpetually surrounded by mist!  How hard is that?

Gravedigger: But this is where the cemetery is, sir.

Hamlet: (to skull) Can you believe this guy?

Hamlet, first performed in 1605 is not anything all that special, but so many tote it as Shakespeare's masterpiece.  My theory is that that is all propaganda on the part of actors.  Getting to play Hamlet is like being written a blank check—the actor can do with the role whatever he wants because it is sooooo ambiguous!  You don't even know how old Hamlet's supposed to be, as he's a student in medieval Denmark, which would put him in his late teens, but the gravedigger says Hamlet's 30.  Hamlet seems slightly more upset about his mother remarrying than having learned his father was murdered, but he also goes berserk a few times at people who aren't involved in his father's murder at all, and while Claudius, the villain, murders one person (in back story) and angsts about it for the rest of the play, Hamlet himself gets quite the body count and shows little to no remorse about it.  

Does the fact that Hamlet is a prince have to do with this role often being the peak of an actor's career?  Why do we think an actor who can play Hamlet well can do anything?  Hamlet's not really enough of a jerk that it's Villain Sympathy.  In fact, Hamlet is one of the least proactive protagonists in literature.  The majority of the play is him wondering what he should do.  Should he listen to this ghost that claims to be his father?  Should he tell any of his friends what's going on?  Should he kill Claudius when he finds out that, yes, the guy did kill his dad?  Should he leave his mom out of it, or was she involved?  To be or not to be?  

But to the mainstream, Hamlet is the guy who holds the skull and waxes poetic while sword fighting in period dress.  Somehow, him just sitting on this supernatural order to avenge his father's death has been twisted to where we've decided it's the role of a lifetime.  Shakespeare wrote other characters who were princes, but none of them were as prominent or as over-analyzed as Hamlet.  

Does Hamlet have any good qualities?  Well, of course, or the play would have been a complete flop.  He's magnetic.  He's smart, snarky, and unsure of himself.  But then you have Ophelia, his love interest.  Whereas Hamlet is defined by his struggle to be decisive, Ophelia just lets her father and brother make decisions for her.  She is dutiful, she has no idea that Hamlet is pretending to be crazy for some of the play (or maybe he is crazy.  So much ambiguity), and when her brother leaves, Hamlet seemingly rejects her from out of nowhere, her father is killed and her lover banished, she goes off the deep end.

Therefore, it seemed like what was going on is that women were losing more and more of their credibility while royal men could afford the luxuries of indecision here and there so long as they still fit all the other criteria.

Hammer It Further In, Victorians!

The Victorians might just be my favorite historical group of people. They're a psychological delight.  Not that they were as repressed as pop culture makes them out to be, but they were all about restraint when it came to deviant behaviors and ideas, often disguising them. In the Victorian era, the hero stopped being the centerpiece of the story.  Most of the care, detail, and time went into the villain. Dracula, Sweeney Todd, Spring Heeled Jack, Frankenstein, Dorian Grey, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and just about the rest of the cast of Penny Dreadful were the ones driving the plot of their respective stories, the ones the authors paid the most attention to.  Often, they were pitted against an innocent heroine, like Christine in The Phantom of the Opera and Mina in Dracula, but there was an edge to them.  Both Christine and Mina might surprise readers in how deadpan and genre-savvy both these women are, and while they don't physically vanquish their beasts, they play key roles.

So where does this leave the prince?

The role of the home in the Victorian era became more significant than ever before.  A man's home was his castle.  His job was to make it a safe haven; his family's job was to make it a domestic ideal.  Again, the ideal man was a protector, someone who could keep his wife and children safe from beasts (poor people, people who didn't speak English, Irishmen, etc.), but also protect them morally.  It's kind of easy to be seduced by the list of villains I put on here, isn't it?  They're just as rich as princes, sometimes handsome, often decisive and passionate...and maybe therein lies the problem.  The ideal man was not yet passionately in love with the heroine.  

“What do you call all that courtly love business?”

Isn't that more in love with the idea of being in love?  Honestly, you pick a random woman, say you'll do great things for her whether she loves you or not, but at the end of the day, you're the one getting the credit for doing those brave deeds and she'll be seen as ungrateful because you've never even had a conversation with her to tell her how you feel.  Loving a woman in the sense that you physically desire her while still desiring her friendship wasn't happening yet.  In a society that didn't encourage women to be open about their own passions, the men also weren't really allowed to do much that wouldn't result in a scandal.  He was supposed to treat his wife more like an employee than the object of his affection.  He could praise her skills at mothering and running a household, and maybe she could play a mean tune on the pianoforte, but none of her skills were supposed to be superior to his own.  The princes and heroes of the Victorian age were as bland as all get-out because everybody wanted to live vicariously through the more passionate villains.  

Well, film changed how we view the devil.  Did it change how we view Prince Charming?

Who Would Have Thought Melodrama was Boring?

Now, to be fair, not all these guys are princes, but I would be remiss if I was going to talk about princes in film and omit Disney's contribution.  For a long time, Disney animators had difficulty animating human men, and it shows.  Remember that short, Goddess of Spring?  Even though her arms are boneless, she looks like a passable female human. The god of the Underworld, though?  It looks like an old-time Mardi Gras mask.  

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937, the same year that the Prince Valiant comic strip did, and both princes are given next to no personalities.  Snow White's prince doesn't even get a name!  Please stop saying Snow White is objectified when it's her prince that is treated as nothing more than a goal and subsequently a reward.

“But his heroism is just supposed to be accepted because he's a man and he's royal!”

Is it?  Disney animators tried to work around the lack of princely influence in the Grimm version by writing a subplot about the Evil Queen capturing the Prince and him escaping...but animating a realistic-looking man was just too hard for them.  We don't care about him or look at him like a person.  He's Snow White's reward.  Nothing more.

Cinderella's prince, officially the “Prince Charming” of Disney canon, is also objectified.  He has maybe three lines?  He isn't even there when Cinderella puts on the slipper?  His dad is given more screen time than him?  

Notice that, in keeping with the Victorian melodramas and silent movie traditions, the movies that have the most boring princes have very engaging, very passionate villains.  The Evil Queen, the Wicked Stepmother, and Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty are given richer animation, more distinctive voice actors, and a deliciously evil charm, that, so far, the princes just can't top.  They remained fairly quiet with their heroism just a given.  Around this same time, Laurence Olivier won an Oscar for 1948's Hamlet, the only time an Oscar was given to someone playing a Shakespearean character.  So it seemed like the prince was still relatively unexplored.  “He's a prince!  Must be a great guy.”

Not all princes in early Hollywood were bland, but there was a kind of leading man that got a lot more action, both in the cinematic and romantic sense—the rogue.

In the 30s and 40s, it was more common for the hero of a movie to be anything but a prince.  He was a hard-boiled private detective, a thief (usually of the Robin Hood variety), or a pirate, as swashbuckling dramas were big back then. Princes, therefore, started becoming a little buffoonish.  The ideal man in the 50s was, oddly, the family man.  The prince had changed to the ruler of a suburban home, still retaining all the traits we've mentioned before, only Ward Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver), Steve Douglas (My Three Sons), Ozzie Nelson (The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet), and Andy Taylor (The Andy Griffith Show) all upheld values most of Middle America agreed with and added a truly positive item to our list:

1. Competent

2. Decisive

3. Upper Class-ish (rise of the middle class!)

4. Wise

5. They Want to be Dads

Parody Ensues

The 60s changed a lot of things, how princes are portrayed among them. While the Prince Valiant comic strip was still going strong, people began wondering if this Prince Charming ideal was really a positive thing.  Wasn't the upper-to-middle class white guy the enemy of the Civil Rights Movement?  Wasn't the patriarchal figurehead oppressing and dismissing women?  Were these guys—gasp--just like everyone else in that they're fallible and sometimes do stupid or misguided things? Jeez, these Prince Charmings (Princes Charming?) must all be doofuses when you peel back the veneer.  Isn't that how princes are in real life?

When Royalty Smiles...

In 1973, Jay Williams wrote the children's book Petronella, and it fit right in with the Women's Movement.  Eager to seek her fortune, Petronella sets out into the world like her brothers and learns about a prince held captive by a wizard named Albion.  Albion says she must prove herself by completing certain fairytale-esque tasks, she does so through kindness and wit, and—spoiler alert—she and Albion fall in love.  Turns out, the prince is just a house guest that won't leave.  I can't find the cover art for the back of the book, but the prince looks like a Monty Python character.

In this same year, there was another book out there with a prince who was deceptively appealing.  William Goldman wrote The Princess Bride and later adapted it for the screen in 1987.  The only person who starts out as royalty in the book is Prince Humperdinck, and that name alone should tell you this isn't someone to take seriously.  Sure, he's competent, noted in the film for being an excellent tracker, and he's quite the mastermind, but he's also the villain!  The whole reason he plans to marry Buttercup is so he can kill her on their wedding night and frame another kingdom for it so he can get a war!  Buttercup's True Love is actually a former farm boy named Westley who is doing a stint as the Dread Pirate Roberts.  Humperdinck doesn't stand a chance.

I do like Chris Sarandon's performance.  He brings such dignity to it, which actually makes it more fun.  

As if pop culture wasn't dropping the anvil fast enough that Prince Charmings weren't all they were cracked up to be, Stephen's Sondheim's Into the Woods gave us Cinderella's Prince and Rapunzel's Prince, and the line, “I was raised to be charming, not sincere,” says it all.  Who would have thought a musical about interconnecting fairy tales would have so much innuendo (it's pretty uncomfortable seeing certain parts of this with children, let me tell you), adultery, psychological abuse, and character deaths?  It was finally filmed in 2014 and satirizes these angst-ridden overly-masculine types with the song “Agony:”

We're going to talk about one more before we get an interesting counterpoint to all this parody. Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Charming from the Shrek universe:

Forget the fact he looks like Jaime from Game of Thrones.  Rupert Everett's Prince Charming is a spoiled, prissy snob whose mother is none other than the Fairy Godmother, the brains behind the operation. Seriously, the movie where Prince Charming takes the lead as the Big Bad is terrible.  There isn't much to say about the role even though it's entertaining except that it just goes to the other extreme.  Prince Charming is decisive about not letting an ogre be with the woman that was promised to him, and he does seem competent at horseback riding and doing the tango, but he's whiny, preens a little too much for traditional manly men, and, most importantly, is okay with forcing Fiona to be with her against her will.  

“But, but, but, if the Prince Charming archetype is just an illusion, what kind of man can we have faith in?”

Well, I would say the rogue as in most movies, he proves to be a hero underneath the snark and scruff, but that's another meta (see The Unscrupulous Hero meta).  This brings up a good point—at least these parodies of princes are characters.  They have personalities and arcs.  You can call them a lot of things but you can't call them bland.  Prince Charming up until now has been a construct, a goal, a reward. Everything but a real person. 

Evolution!

Bringing it back to the Disney princes, 1989 responded to all these unworthy princes with Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid.  I consider him the prototype prince since he is substantially given more to do and emote than the previous princes ever were, but he's still kind of vanilla.  Eric likes being out on a ship, longing for a life at sea while Ariel longs for a life on land.  Hmm.  He plays the flute, totally doesn't mind doing the messier tasks a crewman on a ship would do, and the film goes out of its way to show that he is brave and not one to be messed with.  He saves his dog from a fire and harpoons a giant octopus woman.  He hangs out with Ariel, has fun when she’s around, and this was one of the first Disney movies that introduced some chemistry between the human leads.

After Eric came the Beast, Aladdin, and Simba, and while Aladdin is by far the most fleshed-out of these characters, these prince figures were given something Eric didn't have—pain.  Disney's Beast isn't proposing to Belle every night like in the original fairy tale.  We don't meet him as a romantic lead, but as a broken chimera despairing that his entire life seems to be defined by one bad choice.  Simba may not be the most interesting character, but there is a moment in the movie where he starts yelling at the sky (read: his dead father) about Mufasa not being there for him and then just breaks down in tears and cries, “It's my fault.”  Good lord, you feel for him there as much as you do when he's a little cub shaking his dead father in hopes of awakening him.  

Prince Naveen in The Princess and the Frog is not your grandmother's prince.  It's almost a full-out comedic role as Naveen is...kind of a bum.  He's a prince, but he's lazy, so his parents have cut him off, leaving him to either get a job and work for a living, or marry a rich woman.  Ha ha, Naveen just wants to play the ukelele, enjoy New Orleans' night life, and pick the richest of his many admirers to marry.  After he falls for Tiana, he doesn't change all that much.  He is willing to work for something and can buckle down, but he's still that funny, enthusiastic guy you want to be friends with.  He isn't diminished in his relationship with her. Nor is she.  Naveen can get Tiana to loosen up, and while the plot of The Princess and the Frog is needlessly complex here and there, the romance is very strong and their banter is right up there with all the great movie romance banter.

D’awww!

Counterpoint to a Counterpoint

Oh, Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, I'm onto you, what with your romantic-comedy shtick.  To this day I am torn as to whether or not the twist to make him the villain was a good one or not.  On the one hand, it gives his character a reason for being in the story, and it's a realistic lesson that trusting everyone is just as bad as trusting no one.  However, what's the goofy little smile at the end of the clip all about?  Does he genuinely like Anna but still plans to somehow take over the throne?  Is that just how he smiles when he tweaks his own schemes?  His original plan was just to marry Elsa, but now it seems like, “Well, I can marry the cute, funny girl instead and just kill the aloof one.  Win-win.”  

“Psychopaths don't wear t-shirts saying 'You're with Psychopath' on them.”

Very true, and a commonality many psychopaths share in real life is that they are, you guessed it, charming.  They know how to attract people to them.  Unfortunately, though, things like empathizing with those people and putting those people before themselves are not really feasible things for a psychopath to do.  But then again, we are talking about film here, not real life, so is it a cheat that they made him the villain seemingly out of nowhere?  Weren't we supposed to be given some hints about his true nature since this is a story?

If you ask Disney, they did disperse clues here and there that Hans was not what he seemed.  He wears gloves, for example.  Did you know gloves are a visual shorthand for villain?  Never mind that most of Hans' screentime is either at a ball in which gloves would have been fashionably appropriate or when it's, you know, cold outside. Another thing they refer fans to is that in the song “Love is an Open Door,” Hans' lines about “finding his own place” and agreeing that Anna's “sandwiches” response to his “We finish each other's ____” was what he was going to say are indicative that he's stringing her along.  Okaaaayyyy.  

“But if you were taken in, isn't that the point?  Nobody knowingly gets involved with a psychopath.”

Yeah, but this is all so vague.  Consider that while Elsa is the queen and Anna is the princess, they are way too busy dealing with their own problems to actually rule Arendelle or do anything to help all the innocent people suddenly plagued by an unexpected winter.

Look at this!  Doesn't this just muddle things more?  Hans is the one handing out blankets and inviting the subjects to the castle where he makes it a point to say it's warm there and they've got plenty of hot food for everyone.  We're making the villain the only character in the entire thing who does any damage relief?  I'm sure this is probably a “catch more flies with honey than vinegar thing” as the truly logical person would conclude that Hans is just trying to win over the peasants so they don't revolt when he takes things over, and I know that being homicidal doesn't necessarily preclude anyone from being a great ruler, but come on!  

I guess the point the movie is trying to make with Hans is that you can meet a guy who seems great on paper and fits all the items on the checklist we've been keeping track of, but he can still turn out to be a jerk.  And I will say that Disney has tried the “surprise villain reveal” thing in a few of its other movies that came out after this, but this one handled that the best.

The New Wave

I can't say 2015's Cinderella is better than the 1950 version, but one thing it did that I admire was that it made Prince Charming a person. Prince Kit (I would have named him something else, but I digress) has his doubts that he can be as good a king as his father. Richard Madden gets to actually act as he not only has to be a little restless in his role, but also gets to express grief. He had said that the challenge of playing the Prince is to make sure that Cinderella is not seen as being lucky to get a prince, but that this prince is lucky to have found her.

We have an earlier example of this with 1998's Ever After. Prince Henry (Dougray Scott) is a very reluctant prince and shirks his duties whenever he can. It is Danielle (Drew Barrymore) who changes his way of thinking in that he can do so much good with the power that he has, and it is his obligation to do so. He listens to her, respects her, it's clear that he also physically wants her, and the two get plenty of time to get to know one another. His reaction when the princess he's betrothed to starts wailing is priceless because it's so in-character and there's even Leonardo DaVinci thrown in the movie for fun...a very charming movie indeed.

Artie Hammer is also a good prince, Prince Alcott in Mirror, Mirror. About the only good thing in that, actually. I didn't feel it was dark enough to be a Snow White story, but Snow White and the Huntsman didn't have enough joy to be a Snow White story (or enough actual dwarves playing the parts). Again, the Prince gets to be funny, gets to be a bit political as his whole reason for going to this kingdom in the first place is to meet with the Queen (Julia Roberts being horribly miscast). I don't appreciate the amount of ogling this otherwise children's movie does to the poor actor, but for the most part, he's a character in his own right. Maybe soon he'll pick some better projects that don't have him upstaged by a guy pretending to be a Native American like in The Lone Ranger.

But my all-time favorite Prince Charming has to go to Josh Dallas' David “Charming” Nolan on Once Upon a Time.

“Attention, everyone!  I know magical shenanigans are ruining all your lives, but you have to be in the background while the show focuses on my family's drama! For goodness sake, pull yourselves together and be the comic relief!”

Charming is pretty much everything we've covered so far, and you can see the historical detail they put into developing his character.  This prince started life as a shepherd, a commoner who, by some magical deals that don't merit this meta, must pose as a prince.  He gets to be one for real after he marries Snow White, but the crafted him to be a farmer-type guy.  He drives a pickup truck.  He wears a lot of flannel.  He's sometimes old-fashioned with his flaws as he can be overly protective and quick to judge, but he's also quick to change his opinion when he's proven wrong.  

Charming is deceptively easy to understand, and I don't mean that he's an airhead or a parody of what he represents.  I mean that his goals in life are simple. His likes, his morals—they're all simple, even his fears.  The man's greatest fear is that he isn't a good dad.  That's so relatable since every parent has wondered that about themselves, but it's fresh and unique when it's applied to Prince Charming, a “character” far more defined by offscreen heroics than being a member of a family.  In the very first episode, he's taking on three swordsmen while holding his infant daughter.  That's the character in a nutshell. 

It's a role that's a little underwritten, but like Hamlet, that sometimes means you can do some amazing things with it.  OUAT is full of polarizing characters, but Charming is not one of them.  He's universally loved, and that has everything to do with how convincingly Josh Dallas plays him, especially that he is able to play a father to an actress technically older than him playing his daughter.

Even when he doesn't have much to say, Josh Dallas brings so many fatherly gestures and facial expressions to the part.  That might be why the show has given him more and more to do as it's gone on.  It's a new take on the Prince Charming construct, isn't it—that all the sword-fighting, arrow-shooting, horseback riding, face-punching, and villain-confronting this guy does is for his family?  

His relationship with Snow on this show is sort of the measuring stick to which all other romantic relationships are compared to, and I wouldn't even say “Snowing” is the main romance.  While Snow gives Charming some much-needed direction, he gives her confidence. There are so many moments when Snow is doubting herself that Charming is the one to build her back up.  His belief that his wife can do anything is the foundation of True Love, and I don't mean that he sees her through rose-tinted glasses.  They are partners. One gets the sense that they rule together, whether it be in the flashbacks in the Enchanted Forest, or how they handle the town's problems in the present. 

So I would say our checklist is looking more like this:

1. Is a complex human being with positive (competent, decisive, wise, willing to parent) and some flaws to stay interesting

2. Has respect and admiration for his love and their relationship has a healthy dose of friendship in it

But if I were to just list all of Charming's traits—good and bad—or anything other well-written character in any medium—the list might just go on and on.  It's that way with real-life personalities, and opinions will vary on what the ideal man or woman is like.  Prince Charming is no longer an archetype or a plot point but a person, a real person who is inspired to do his best for love at the same time he inspires the person he loves to do their best.  Life is hard, and it's hard to find someone to share it with, but the fact that fiction is emphasizing these aspects is so positive.

I just went to my first Pride March. (not really a parade - due to COVID) - it was...not quite what I was expecting but also maybe what I needed?

I suppose I was expecting something similar to the Pride Parades depicted in Sense8 lmao? Like absolutely balls to the wall ludicrous - everyone hella drunk & making out with rainbow confetti fluttering all about them - I guess I should've known cuz that was Rio Pride & therefore its whole own thing! And this is Salt Lake City. Still, though - thousands of people were marching! First off - way too many fucking pigs at the event. Just a ludicrous amount of cops. & I only witnessed a small contingent of folk admonishing them to their faces...

also - this may be a severe case of anxiety on my part - but I couldn't help but notice all the convenient sniper positions atop every building along where the march rolled down. Like, I think this is simply a product of living in America too long & now I'm traumatized, but...

literally every time I go out these days in public I'm always looking out of the corner of my eye for easy exits & contingency plans should active shooter scenarios occur...I guess that's really dark but this is where my mind goes - particularly at events like Pride - which, if I was a hateful piece of shit coward bigot I would consider at the top of my prime target list... - so I was thinking about the pigs & possible active shooters - sitting on the corner waiting for the parade to roll by as the crowd got larger & larger around me..

I've never been a ra-ra scream & shout type of person so I just felt a bit off to the corner (& did throughout). This is something I want to work on the next year - to leave my shame behind & join in with humanity unabashed - as myself - as Lucy...

So, anyway, I'm sitting on the sidelines, as usual - & I catch sight of this family - & this girl whose like 10 or 12 - with a rainbow flag cape - & she's posing - and her folks are taking pics & supporting her & it's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen - & suddenly this

wave of emotion comes crashing down inside me all of a sudden. Like. My little sister (she's 16 now) just came out as bi - & my folks have been much more supportive of her than I thought they would be (at least to her face - I don't know what they say to each other in private...)

Like, they're far from perfect, & still pretty transphobic (but that's a topic for another day) - but they're trying. At least. & I'm really happy for my sister & all the rest of the little ones who are finally being given that support for who they truly are, but...

like. growing up Evangelical - my parents never even gave us an opportunity to explore gender/sexuality AT ALL back then. Queer folk were all deviants & bad influences & we should pity them for being cast into outer darkness & fire & brimstone or whatever -

so like - to even THINK about being queer would be considered an evil act. & I swallowed this toxic theology wholesale - so I never got the chance to...not hate those parts of myself. So I'm watching this happy family & feeling this deep gaping hole in me - mourning for the kid - the girl - I could've been, if I had even been given the chance to know back then. to breathe. At the same time, feeling deeply glad the kids are getting this now - at least some of them (I know there's still a lot of hate - but things are SLOWLY beginning to change)

so I'm already nearly choking up - & the parade arrives at that second - & I'm watching all these happy, joyful, jubilant faces - flying flags of every color - & it was just - tears in my eyes. Like holy shit. These are my people. & the amount of trans flags I saw -

mostly draped around young shoulders - set my heart alight. It's so beautiful, too, because you can see all the folds on these flags pretty clearly - so a lot of these flags have very obviously just been pulled brand new out of their boxes -

& this rising wave of queer folk is about to batter down the doors & the tears were in my eyes & I'm so happy for them & so happy for us but also deeply sad for everything I couldn't be, couldn't admit to myself when I was younger. But I'm looking forward to who I will soon be.

So that was Pride, huh? Anyway - last night I published the first episode in a memoir-type podcast. The first episode is basically coming out - so you kids may already know much of this. But this is what I plan to show my family, when I'm ready: https://share.transistor.fm/s/b7f6d2c4

$2.3 TRILLION BAILOUT!! BUY BITCOIN!!! Hyperinflation – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome guys. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton and here on Although I Will Not Take we are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central B and finally, as I come to like an atomic clock each and every day. Today we will be discussing the corporate Marxism of the current financial system. We do have the Fed yesterday committing 2.3 freshly printed dollars, freshly printed fiat to buy debt, corporate debt and also to buy junk bonds. Can you imagine? They’re not even checking now? They’re not even checking. I know that Ford was downgraded. Their bonds were downgraded just a few weeks ago. And obviously the Fed had to react. So now they also said they weren’t even going to buy downgraded bonds. It’s okay with that. But you will learn all about that in this episode because look what we’re witnessing right now. This has never happened. The Fed is all in. The Fed is merging with the Treasury. You know, normally you have the Fed being here, the government being here. They’re separate. They’re completely separate. And they should be separate because the politicians will always want to mess with money. They always want to create new money because they can fund all kinds of projects and get more votes. So the whole idea, of course, is that Fed should be independent from the government, but that is not truly what’s happening right now. They are merging and they will tell you exactly how it’s happening and how is going on in this episode. And also, it’s important to discuss the fact that you are being robbed. You and I are being robbed. That is the only way to put it, because you understand that you maybe get like $1000, you get some deferred tax payments. I see you already as superjet as super chattel raising guys. That’s amazing. I evangelist’s. Adam, thank you so much. Amazing. Still waiting for the leader. Not not really sure what you mean, but thank you so much for the nation. And let me know if it works on mobile. If you do the mobile on desktop. I was going to be number one. Number two, we’re going to discuss oil. You know that now we have an agreement that this cartel will cut production opaque. And Russia. They will cut the production. And obviously, this all affects Bitcoin identity. This all affects Bitcoin. We have the hovering right around the corner, right around the corner. And we’re going to discuss that as well. So, guys, all welcome. How are you doing? I see the chart rolling. We are, of course, light streaming only and exclusively on. I want to dot com slash live. Welcome, everyone. I cbf you. I see the huddle. I see crypto mico. Crypto Vader danièle race vest. Armstrong done. That guy’s amazing. Let me know what you arching him from right now at this very moment in time where you are watching this from another another another supercut from evangelist Ivan someone’s someone sullies group to hear about the evangelist movement. I’m here to keep your seat warm. Nice, nice. My nice little solace group. That was our helicopter money yesterday. So today we have evangel is being helicopter money. Guess you’d like the Fed sometimes. Who is going to be the Fed? Today’s the question with helicopter money in the chat. And look, look, today we’re drinking black coffee. No milk, no sugar. No sugar involved. And looking at the markets, you will see something very significant today. I can assure you of that. But before we go into that, this was hilarious. Strub saying, I flatten the death curve, but look, he put it in the wrong way. Somebody made this joke. Mr. President, you’re holding sideways because the US that, you know, is at an all time high. And by design, it is like that. By design is going to be like that. So don’t even expect this to change. This is growing exponentially. And if you know how the current fractional reserve banking works, how the current system works, how governments have outsourced money creation to the central bank, to the private banks, but also now the Fed is coming in printing like crazy. The whole economy is based on that. And the only way forward is have more debt. And we’re going to have a whole episode on this topic. Why? This is going to continue. And there is no way to get that down to make it stop. There is no way. So is just by definition how this economy works. This will just keep growing. The debt will keep growing. It will not go down. It’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. And Young said that this exponential move will become more and more dramatic. It is truly exponential. I mean, you look at this, this is basically how bitcoin grew in price during the past 10 years, completely exponential. Nine million percent we saw in Bitcoin price growth. Well, you see the same kind of development in national debt in the in the United States. And this is by design, guys, in order to make the economy work, we need more debt and there’s only going to continue. So don’t even expect it. Some people are like, hey, I didn’t expect this to grow. Why is this so big? Don’t even expect against have your expectations straight. This thing will just continue to grow. And they don’t get the surprise that it’s just by design like it it’s always gonna be like that, but it’s not sustainable. That is the thing. It’s not sustainable until we see some kind of reset in the system. Now, we are at 24 trillion right now and we have another super chart from Michael Valérie. Good morning from Amsterdam with T. Good morning to Amsterdam. Thank you so much. So we are at 24 trillion in national debt in the U.S. This is just going to continue. We’re going to be at the third to truly and very soon. And then at 60 and then at the hundred. And then the two hundred you see exponential. So expect it just expected. So looking at the markets, well, the following situation in Bitcoin and in the crypto space. Let me actually just put you in the top market cap like so worth bitcoin at minus 5 percent almost. So quite a brutal downfall, to be honest with you. We did not really establish ourselves firmly above seven cape. We have them at minus 5 percent. We have X-ART, P.F. minus 3 percent. So we have a lot of fear. And just like we discussed in the chad before we went live, which you’re going to see now, is people of bipolarity changing. Their bipolarity is changing very quickly in crypto. Now everyone’s going to say we’re going to go to Touquet. Now everyone’s going to say, we’re going to go to 3K. Just remember it. And this is kind of the thing you got to realize. We are bipolar. We’re bipolar. Hearings always gonna be like that. Nicole, what do you think about the Atlantis report on YouTube? I haven’t checked it. I will check it. Atlantis report. And thank you so much for the superjet and fireworks. You always make Friday a bit better with fireworks, guys. So we see a downfall in the top-10, especially a C minus 10 percent. I mean, obviously with B ASV, we have the Halling coming up soon. And you know how the halving went from Bitcoin cash? Not very well. I mean, it was very boring. Nothing really happened in terms in terms of price. It just collapsed and miners obviously stopped mining. So we did see a difficulty decrease. And now it’s just less security on the Bitcoin cash network. So BSEE is going to have the same basically today. I think it should be like in a few days, like if, you know, exact date, but it’s very, very soon. Looking at the big winners, we have waves, Dash Haddara, not a lot of winners today, only waves basically. And losers are in there was synthetic SK1. But look, the reason why many people are asking we have seen PSV, we’ve seen before encash. We’ve seen light. So why is Bitcoin having different? Why are people more excited about Bitcoin is humming? Well, because Bitcoin is more of a global phenomenon. It’s more of a global phenomenon. You see Bitcoin being used, for example, in third world countries. We’ve talked about how the Latin American economy in terms of local bitcoin is being all around Venu. Salah is being centred all around the you sell the Gore-Bush that episode if you don’t know what I’m talking about. We see the same thing in Africa. We see that in Asia, people using a lot of Kryptos well, in order to avoid restrictions in banking. And they are obviously using bitcoin. They’re using deathers because. Untether another one from Niccol. I love you. I love you, man, too. I love you, man. So this is more of a global thing. So when something like Holly happens, we do see. The supply and demand play out in the real economy way more, way more with big cash and BSP. Bitcoin cash NBA savvy. And by the way, when I say big cash, I don’t mean to mock it. Just like saying cash more. So we look at big cash NBC. It’s mostly internally to their to their tribe. That’s where most of the trading happens. The same with Lt.-Col. Like gold is a bit, by the way, more global as well. Bitcoin, cash and BSE. But what is the conclusion? The conclusion is that when the supply new newly produced supply in bitcoin cash or BSEE drops by 50 percent, you don’t really see a lot of demand. The demand is basically doesn’t even Karokhail. It’s less supply. We’re not going to trade us as much. I mean, are people going to say that? No, they’re not going to say that because it’s only used within their community for changing. A bit of speculation is still being used that somebody really needs somewhere in the world. So that’s the biggest difference between the hoardings of or Lt.-Col and Bitcoin cash. BWV and Bitcoin, because bitcoin, you do have more of a global effect. There is an inherent demand for biscuit and that is why that is why stop the flow model only works with bitcoin because stock to flow model describes the relationship between new supply and the demand and how it’s gonna affect everything. So please keep it in mind. Another one from Solit group Duyen waiting for a new stealth bomber. munya. I’ll buy bitcoin under 6.6 gate. This is the time to DCA when we have a bit of a pullback.

So go and check out them in the description, but be very careful. Be extremely careful. More fireworks, guys. More more fireworks in the chat. You are on fire today. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Thank you, Harold. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Now, you know that it’s Friday and they told you that I would explain to you why. It’s amazing to have a Friday, but why you should not be overly excited about Friday aswell, because people who are overly excited about Friday, I sometimes feel that they don’t like what they’re doing during the week. So this is kind of the piece of knowledge I want to give to you today. Before we get into the corporate Marxism is that this case is Friday. But if you hate if you hate Mondays, you hate weekdays. You have to switch careers. Yes, you have to reconsider. So that is why, by the way, you should go and join the webinar, if you like, fried this too much. This is for you. Now, of course, if you have something you like, you work with something you like. You just want to spend more time with your family during the weekend. And that’s why you’re excited for Fridays. Completely fine. But if you feel that man, finally, I don’t have to go to work, then you really have to reconsider what you’re doing in life. And then, of course, Krypto full time is very important. And you gotta to learn how to stack sets. So go to the webinar first and foremost. Smart money is buying, guys, as you can see. We do have accumulation in terms of whales. Number of whales with and with an account with over 1000 1000. Bitcoin is increasing right now. This is looking a glass node on chain fundamentals and we’re seeing this accumulation in these accounts. They are going up. You know that we cans are selling. Retail is selling while wealth are accumulating because we know that the hubbing is just right around the corner. Now, accumulation always happens before the hoving, as we’ve seen in the past as well. Whales are accumulating. Weekends are not really accumulating because they don’t know what will happen. They’re a bit scared. They’re a bit uncertain what’s going to happen. Everyone is uncertain. But at least you’re gonna have some kind of vision for the future. Some kind of your internal belief, which you things are going to happen to Bitcoin long term. And obviously, if you are a whale, you do have that understanding and you accumulate during this time. So look at what the smart money is doing. And obviously, when we saw bitcoin completely wild. That is when Wells also started to selling off their stock and started to sell off here mostly, mostly before we reached like the crazy peak because you know that it’s impossible to time of the peak for you. It’s impossible to know exactly where the peak is. So smart manual’s taking profits. Those times as well. And now since basically 2009, in January, we’ve seen trend in accumulation. So keep it in mind. Look, we are living in very, very strange times. We’re living in very strange times because now is when you see America really showing how it works and when people say that America is the sign of capitalism failing. What they don’t understand is that it’s not capitalism, to be honest. It’s not capitalism in good times. We are religious capitalists. But if something goes wrong, we don’t mind socialism. But the socialism is not for you and me. It’s not for the middle class. It’s not for people who actually who actually need it. That is key to understand. It is for corporations. It is when the Fed is producing new money. It is when the Fed is going completely All-In like they’re doing right now with their operations. And this is something you can not ignore. Guys, there’s something we cannot ignore because you’re being you’re being robbed. Hey, man. Sebastian, thank you so much. Testing Super Shuttle Mobile. I hope it works. I hope it worked fine. So what do you make out of this? The following. The following. They will try to make people happy nonetheless. They will try to make it so that you and I don’t revolt. So we’re seeing right now, for example, Trump coming out and considering canceling student debt, because obviously everyone is looking at what’s going on with the corporate side. And obviously, you don’t want to see only corporations getting all of this free money. So let’s play this clip and then we’ll continue the discussion. Let me know if the sound works. Let me know if the sound works. Today, the Department of Education is also announcing the availability of more than 6 billion dollars in emergency grant funding to assist college students impacted by the cancellation of classes and the suspension of housing. A lot of people had a lot of things suspended. Housing is one of them. Previously, we waive student loan payments for six months. So student loan payments have been waived for six months and we’ll discuss it after that may go further. Look, they are together talk about maybe we’re gonna cancel your student, that may be maybe, maybe, maybe. Personally, I think that in this new times we’re living in. It could happen, but that would actually surprise me. It would surprise me if student debt got canceled. It would be in many cases a good thing from many perspective. A good thing, because, hey, if we’re still doing the socialism thing, if we’re already started, why not help? Also, young people look is better to help them as well. There are many arguments for that. They they they can start working from. From a position in which they have no debt. They can just start their lives without being slaves from day one. That is why you could make that argument in another country. Argument could be that what if somebody just paid off their debt and now they’re cancelling everyone’s student debt? You are basically rewarding the people who did not pay it back. And now if you just paid it back, you mentioned how you would feel if you just paid everything back and now suddenly it’s all canceled and you didn’t have to pay it. If you just waited a few more weeks. So obviously, it’s not an easy question, but I think the most important effect of this is to calm down everyone, to calm down everyone who is seeing the printer go wild right now and seeing the Fed go wild. It’s to say, hey, guys. You will also get a bit of that freshly printed fiat. Maybe. Maybe we’ll consider it for now. You just we just defer your payments, but maybe, maybe, maybe we’ll consider it because that would be a big thing. I mean, this would be a big thing for the average job. No question about that. I would be surprised if it actually happens. Let’s see. It’s not impossible. But the way the system works is not is not for students. I mean, it’s not for the for the middle class. And it’s not for anyone who has some kind of personal debt. I really, really doubt it will happen. But we’ll see. Nico, I’m father of three new babies to pay to pay for our failure. How how do you mean? I’m not really sure what you mean, but if you mean that they’re going to take care of you, then it may be a good strategy. We’re going back to the old days, by the way. Many people might be thinking in those old ways that, hey, we’re going to have kids to actually take care of us if you, of course, have financial difficulties. Now, what’s important to note is the numbers here. Now, we’ve mentioned that even the average Joe gets a bit of hope from the administration. They get a bit of hope. So they are calm. They don’t really do something crazy. They don’t protest too much. Maybe counselors tell them that. Now we’re seeing what’s happening with the Fed, the 2.3 trillion dollar now being printed to buy junk bonds. You’ll see Lynly. But saying. Exactly. Exactly. You’re like the mining or guys today. Amazing. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. So they are expanding their program with 2.3 freshly freshly printed theat in programs aimed at helping businesses and state local governments. So that’s what’s gonna happen. That announcement sparked a jump in stocks, a drop in the dollar because it’s getting devalued by the moment, guys. If you’re sitting in the dollar, reconsider. I mean, I would ask you to consider not financial advice, but I’m reconsidering that because too many people now become super bullish on the dollar. They think that this flight to safety will continue because the dollar has been performing quite well during the past months. We’ve seen a sell off in all kinds of assets. Where are they going? I mean, where is the value going to the dollar? But at the end of the day, everyone has already sold everything. That’s what’s going to happen. And then you sit there with your dollars. What do you do? Guess what do do you? As soon as possible want to buy a real asset that produces monthly cash flow. The last thing you want to do is sit and dollars long term. Yes, there are a lot of deflationary deflationary movements right now, such as a lot of debt being denominated in U.S. dollars and everyone needs dollars to pay back their debt or pay for their margin calls or to close their other obligations that are also denominated in dollars. But at the end of the day, you will be sitting there with dollars and what will you do? You will get very worried. You will get an easy because they are just printing another one from solid crypto. They are smart. They give the normal people this bits creating more and even this. Now the middle class is fighting each other for food and helicopter money. Divide and conquer. Soon. Soon, soon. The art of war must through this. I’ve read it, and you’re completely correct. That’s what’s going on right now. You’re completely correct. So keep this in mind now. The most important thing that’s going on right now is the fight that they’re going to buy junk bonds. They’re going to buy junk bonds. This has never happened before at this scale. So it would appear this Fed is aware that the economy is in dire straits, particularly with the small companies, and they are likely to take highly unusual steps, some unprecedented steps to see if they can loosen up that sector. So that’s what’s happening. They are all in. The Fed is really doing everything they can. They are gonna commit to this. The have already committed. And look, as part of the announcement, the Fed expanded its corporate lending programs to take it into a new area, including. CFS of companies that are rated below investment grade, basically junk junk bonds. Guys, why are they doing that? This is a very important thing to understand. Why is it so that the Fed Golson buys these bonds? Well, mainly to keep up the prices of the bonds, of course, because if you have the bond prices falling, corporate debt prices falling. It means that if you are a corporation and you are struggling and you want to release a new bond, because that is how you get finance, you release a bond that is debts that other people buy and they give you money for that bond and then you pay them interest and then you pay back that debt with time. But you understand that if the demand for the bonds on the market is zero, nobody’s buying bonds. Everyone is scared. That is what’s happening right now. Everyone’s scared. Nobody’s buying bonds. It means that for you to even be able to even be able to finance yourself to taking new money into your corporation through issuing bonds, it means that you have to increase the interest rate because there is no demand for any bonds. So the only way to maybe have someone buy your bond is to have a high interest rate. So that is the thing. The Fed comes in and says, hey, we will buy your bond. Don’t worry. We will buy your bond so that the corporations can take in more debt. They are able to sell their bonds, because when the Fed is doing this, it means that other banks and other investment banks and other institutions are also feeling a bit more comfortable to buy this debt from corporations to to to give corporations money, take their bonds, because they know that in the worst case, they can sell it to the Fed. They know it’s a market for this for these bonds, even junk bonds. Now there is a market because the Fed will buy them at the end of the day. So that is important. That is the most important thing to understand, because when you read this that the Fed is now buying corporate debt, corporate bonds. You don’t understand what’s going on. But if you know, that is because they want to keep up the market for bonds going so that these corporations can issue bonds and they know that somebody is going to buy them, they don’t have to have to crazy interest rate. That is what’s happening. And that is what they’re trying to do now to tell the bond market, hey, be active, be. Be calm down. Be confident in this bond market, because I doubt they were going to buy everything. Otherwise, if they didn’t do that, the the bonds would go down and nobody would buy them. And you s-corporation, you can not take in more debt. You can’t have crazy interest rates. And even when you do, people might not want to buy them. Now we have a donation from Zero Joy. Ivan, thanks for your content. Crazy economy. Will this super shot have the option to pay encrypted regards from Switzerland? Yes, crypto is coming. We’re going to start with ethe because it’s fast transaction and everyone has EIF and then maybe we’ll add the lightning because look, we’re not going to have bitcoin and wait for a six six confirmations. Maybe we’ll have we can have a 0 confirmation payment or something, but we can start with EEF because it’s so easy man. It’s so easy like this is gonna be a bit more difficult but if is very easy. So you can also understand that when we see this, we become addicted because now the whole market is functioning around the fact that the Fed will buy anything, they will buy anything. And that is how the market is structured. Mukul, please check the Atlantis report. Maybe you can find on why YouTube didn’t ban them. I will check them out. You guys recommended. I will check them out. Thank you so much, Nico, for donation. So what’s important here is that we’ve become addicted now that you see the whole bond market relying on the Fed. They’re basically telling Hape we’re confident because the Fed this year imagine now the Fed pulling out. How the confidence will disappear. So the Fed cannot pull out. I mean, they are in this. They are all in. They have committed. Once the Fed enters a market like the bond market, like they’ve done right now, buying even junk bonds they have committed. There is no way for them to go back, because if they go back, the whole confidence in that market collapses even more to even lower levels compared to when the Fed entered. And when corporate debt market collapses, no corporation will be able to get funding from bonds because nobody will buy them. Nobody will actually give them money. So you see that we are this addicts. The whole economy is addicted. That is why also is connected to this situation with exponential debt. You need just to have more debt once you have a bit of debt, like the only way forward is more. And we’re gonna have a whole episode where I explain how it works, exactly why you should not even expect it to go down or sideways. It will never do, guys. The national debt, it will just continue going up in an exponential rate now is not sustainable. This is like we will see how much it continues, but I don’t know how much. Maybe two hundred trillion, maybe to 500 trillion. We’re gonna be there soon because it’s exponential. Our brains can not comprehend exponential developments a lot because you see, just a few years ago, we were somewhere here on this chart and then we completely exploded. Now to hear it, look, it’s just gonna be exponential. So we are addicted and it’s just going to continue like this. What’s important as well is that we need to be looking at the dates. So you see, for example. We have this 2.3 trillion loan bailout program that the Fed announced recently. Yesterday they really started with this. They really started looking on this in March and you know that on March 24th for it was downgraded because obviously nobody is buying cars in the crisis. Nobody is really investing in that. So the bonds, the corporate debt of Ford was downgraded for this, obviously very important for the U.S. economy. No question about that. For employment. So now the Fed basically had to readjust their strategy and say, hey, we’re even gonna go and buy the debt or off of companies that are below investment grade such as Ford. So it’s important. It’s important. And that is exactly what’s going wrong. And look, they got that mess with the rules a lot. That is what they have done. This is what Jerome Powell said. They had the Fed in it recently when he announced this whole situation with two point three trillion. These programs that we are using under the law. We do this, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of treasury secretary and the fiscal of backing from the Congress through the Treasury. So here is where we start talking about the fact that they are emerging. The Fed and the Treasury are merging. They are bending the rules. They’re bending the reality of how this whole system was set out to be the relationship and the polarity of the Fed. And the government is now breaking down and they are merging their view. Thank you so much. By bit leverage 106 for life. Thank you so much. V a few a an H. I really appreciate you. So this is very big because now the the Treasury is in tandem. They’re working in tandem with the Fed. And if you read the quote further, you see that we’re doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. We are directed by Congress. We are using the fiscal backdrop to absorb annual losses we have. So we have monetary and fiscal policy now in full in full speed, in full effect. And you know that monetary policy is already exhausted because how much lower can you do interest rates? You can still do a lot with fiscal, but that requires political will and political support. Our ability is limited by law. By the law. Look, you said that it’s limited. It’s limited, but they are moving forward. We have to find unusual and exigent circumstances. And the treasury secretary has to agree. And we’re using this fiscal backdrop. So, look, they are limited by the law, but they will still find ways through working with the government, through working with the administration. Any thoughts on how this will affect deferred development? Says said that we’ll get less discussed if I then say I will bring it up, but then deferred development. But good question. We will, of course, talk about this at them. And it has a lot to do because the only way forward for the Fed is either to print more money. They will do that. They could even lower interest rates a bit more. They could still do some some monetary policy. Obviously, when you have negative interest rates, you also have to decide the banks will have to decide either to implement it in savings accounts. So, for example, in Europe, in the E.U., if you have a corporate account in the bank and you have euros, you have euros, you will lose money every month, you will lose minus 0.4 percent or zero point zero. For something like that, you’re going to lose. OK. I think it 0.4 percent. But these days of interest rate, your money in the bank, they take they take a bit. I’ve experienced this. I’ve had money, corporate money with our corporation. We had it in a bank account. We had euros each and every month. We were paying negative interest rate. Now it’s not like that. If you have a personal account and this is not an all in all banks, some banks don’t don’t have this because the banks decide it’s not an all banks. But if this continues, you understand that the Fed, the only thing they will be able to do is to decrease interest rates and then literally force people to spend their money. You have your money in the bank. It disappears. You literally have to go and run and buy something as soon as possible, especially with digital fiat. So here’s where it becomes scary, because digital fiat will be pushed down your throat. It will be like that. You will be forced to accept it. Why is it so? Because they can have monetary instant policy like never before. Right now it’s up to the banks. The banks decide, OK. We should have negative interest rates in the accounts or not. So as I told you, our bank had negative interest rates for corporate accounts, for private accounts. They did not. Some other banks don’t even have that for corporate accounts. Now, the Fed obviously wants more economic activity. They want digital cash so they can enforce this negative interest rates. By themselves, without going through the private banks and checking with them by themselves, everyone will have a minus. For example, 1 percent in in the interest rate. Whatever money you have in your wallet, it will evaporate. You’re forced to spend it as soon as possible. Now here’s where Defi comes in. For example, when you look at old stable coins like Teather, you did see. You look at you as D.S. you look at all of the essentially stable coins. You know that they have dollars in their bank account. That’s how they work. They bag their stable coins with dollars. Imagine their bank account in the near future having negative interest rate, which might happen. Look at how it might happen that they will have negative interest rates in their bank account, just like we had in our corporate bank accounting in Sweden. So it means that they need to produce somehow. Teather now needs to produce positive cash flow in order to even be able to keep their reserve of dollars because they’re losing each and every month, each and every day they’re losing a bit. So this means that if you look at Defi coming back to a question about DFI, when you look at DI, for example, DI is also pegged to the dollar. That is also pegged to the dollar. But it’s not being backed by a bank account that disappears evaporates. It’s backed by an algorithm. So here’s where DI will really outperform all other stable funds because all other stable course is basically a gamble. They need to risk the money to get positive cash flow to be able to even have reserves as they are without losing. All right. But with DI, you don’t have that. Is it just supply and demand of for eith and diet loans alone mechanics? CGP collateralised debt position. So here is where you truly will see defi shining if negative interest rates become big. And this is something that many people don’t talk about, but it’s one of the most important aspects of die of maker. They will be the only stable coin that is actually that is actually stable to the dollar. And they don’t have to gamble with your funds to to try to get cash because they don’t even have your funds. I mean, just an algorithm. Nobody has your funds, just an algorithm that keeps it that one dollar with supply and demand. Look, leaving this topic, how do you summarize it? Man, it’s a lot. It’s a lot. A lot, a lot. How do you summarize this topic? Number one, if you have Fiat. Don’t be too comfortable, guys. Don’t be too comfortable. Yes. Asset prices have been falling. But but but then over there, you know that it’s just a printer at the end of the day. So think about the fact that it’s it’s inflated like crazy. What happens when this money actually enters the economy? What will happen to consumer prices if these trillions enter the economy? They’re still stuck only in the financial assets. But what will happen if this money suddenly enters the real economy? What will happen to consumer prices? Think about that. Think about that. There’s always a deflation before hyperinflation. All hyperinflation is are followed are preceded by deflation. That’s very important. Think about the fact that when you hear somebody saying the students will be cancelled, haven’t mind that. Of course, this would be amazing if they got cancelled. But don’t be too optimistic because it mostly is just to calm people down and look at everything that is going on in the financial sector. Don’t expect the the debt to fall. It will never fall. It will increase exponentially. It is by design is how it’s supposed to be is by design. It’s not sustainable long term. And the bottom line, we have corporate Marxism. We have corporations getting free money. We don’t have capitalism in the US right now. We have Marxism, corporate Marxism. So whenever people say that capitalism has failed, you have to explain to them this is not at all a free market where a centrally planned where central planning. Right now we’re allocating resources based on how a few guys think they should be allocated. We’re creating all of this money out of thin air, basically redistributing wealth according to decisions made by by a few six year olds or 70 year olds like, look, they cannot compete with a. You cannot compare it with the power of computers and power of analyzing big data. Like you can not have a few dudes doing all of these decisions. This will get me really mad. Gates I’m sorry, but I think you got to have more of an algorithmic approach to money. People have screwed out, stripped out of screwed up this several times through history. No Fiat survives. No Fiat is here for more than a few decades. The only one that has survived for a very long time is basically the British pound. And so you’ve got to realize they will always screw up. And now we basically have essentially planned economy where if you guys decide exactly where the money will go, who will receive it, who will not receive it. This is what the the guys with the mustache and the beard do, you know, like DeMoro. Engle’s what they’ve been dreaming about. But but this perverted idea that you give it to the corporations. I mean, at least they thought that they would give it to workers or something, you know, would give it to the workers. But now we have corporate marches. I mean, imagine Marx hearing this anyway. You get my point. You get my point. This is this is terrible. A few. Thanks for explaining the basics of finances. Even the most in this chart do understand. Thanks. Thanks to even though most of the do understand. Yeah, I think you guys understand a little it that. That’s amazing. Solid. Thank you so much again. I started development of tdap with star developer from my time. Nice. We were building my bank, Midland Bank, a place where people can store their fiat seemless in. Amazing. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I will check. I will check. Soll. Thanks so much for the Nazy. Thank you so much for the nation. Or I guess moving on. We have some news from Kryptos. Com You know that we are working with crypto dot com. And if you go to Ivan on tech dot com slash deals, I will tell you. Com slash deals, you will find a link to crypto dot com. And if you sign up using this link right here on Amazon, the concierge deals, you get dollars and I get fifty dollars. So we’re both profits from that. But what’s important is that now they’re integrated with Ledger. So if you buy your ledgers with crypto com app, you get 10 percent cash back. So that’s big. And also they are adding all kinds of brands also with 10 percent, the cash cashback. They have Costco, Whole Foods, Kroger, Woolworths carry 4. I look like American brands. I don’t even know what this is, but I guess it’s big. Let me know if this thing is big. Fair price. Shane Qiong E Mart Metro. Yeah. We don’t have this in Sweden. I know Costco and Full Wholefoods here I’ve been when I’m in the US, I’ve been here. Here I haven’t been a door dash. I’ve used that Instacart use that these guys haven’t used. But it seems that these guys are big quarter for it. No it’s not. The US is Frej. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. I was in France a long time ago, but I’ve been in Monaco a few times since then. But it’s kinda France. Kinda not. I didn’t see Corey for there. How do you say it? I am probably butchering the name, but anyway. And finally, some important news from Polonia Pro Polonia to know. These guys are now being controlled by Justin. And now they are jumping on the IEO train a bit late. I mean, a bit late, according to me, because I’m are not a big thing right now, but there you go. They have a lounge bass right now launching and. Yeah, let’s see what kind of things they do. But I mean, honestly, for Io’s to really be interesting in one way or another. You need to have a new bull market. I mean, right now, nobody is gonna care about Io’s, but they are working to increase the utility of Tron ya x because the only way you can be able to participate is through this TR X coin. So there you go, guys. Let’s see. Let’s see. For me, it’s always interesting to see like what the exchanges are doing and what kind of plans they have. And Justin san. He’s buying everything. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out like the like this timeat fiasco because it is a fiasco. Can I say anything against that? Look, we have basically a split in the community community completely taking the matter into their own hands, into their own hands and and disregarding and disregarding them. This takeover. But let’s see how Polonia X performs. If they can. If they can manage to do something out of this, but the jury is in the next bull market, I don’t think it will be a big thing right now in in this current times, because people are not really, really interested in ideals right now. Will change, will probably change. We’re going to see whether it’s going to be IYO a system or something else. But there will always be appetite for Alz. I mean, always in a bull market. Always, always, always. Trump can still pump in the hype. It’s too cheap. How do you mean it’s cheap, though? Please don’t say you look at the price per coin because too many people do that. And I always have to explain it. So when you look at price per coin, it is one cent. But guys, please, why are you looking at price per coin? Because I guess that’s what you’re looking at. When you say it’s chip, it has a market cap of eight hundred forty two million like a close to Cardinal Baseball. Kodama has Monaro look at market cap. This is this is the price of an eight hundred million. This doesn’t matter of price per coin does not matter. But it’s an example of why you need to have a big supply base. You need to have a big supply in your Quinn. And I know my friends and I would joke that if Satoshi created bitcoin and he gave it instead of twenty one million cap, he gave it a cap of one point 2.1 billion. So instead of twenty one million you have just for simplicity’s sake, let’s say you did twenty one billion. Thank you so much Steve. Can I pay supercharged with crypto buyer SPDC. Look, we’re going to start with ethe man. Well you can add all of the old coins later. We’re going to start with EIF or Teq, so we’re gonna do ethe first. But thank you for the nation state. So look, if Satoshi did 20 1 billion and not twenty one million coins, it would mean that the price of bitcoin currently would be just six point nine dollars. Because you know that twenty one billion is a thousand times twenty one million. So the price would be a thousand times less. It would be 6.9 and we would have the same market cap. So if that would be the case, people would not find bitcoin expensive and we would maybe not have all of the old guys because people would think that bitcoin is cheap as well. Just six dollar coin. Can you elaborate on BEHKISH hubbing and why it is dropping BTC champ thing for the nation? Well, let’s let me elaborate. The thing is, when we’re looking at the harvest, the only reason why we’re seeing Bitcoin jump up in price with an order of magnitude so that, you know, before the previous hubbing we had the price in terms of a hundreds, like few hundreds. Now we’re talking thousands. After next halving, we’re gonna talk about tens of thousands. We’ve already been at 20K. But what I’m talking about is more that we’re going to be a 50, 60, 70 probably. I don’t know. I don’t know. But no financial advice, as always. No financial advice. But this is how I see it, that the price will develop and it will jump in. Orders of magnitude. Why is it happening? Well, because we are having the new freshly produced coins each and every four, four years, which is which is a similar a similar development. But in the other direction. I mean, your having you basically, you know, when you take times to all the time, you have this exponential development when you’re halving. You have exponential but inverted. So you have you have this exponential city that is just decreasing, decreasing and decreasing. So what I want to say by that, I want to say that if you have an economy such as Bitcoin that is global, it’s global, guys. There is demand in all kinds of countries, whether it is for the fact that people want to be sure that their funds are not confiscated. If you live in a dictatorship, for example, and you are wealthy, you might want to have a bit of bitcoin because, look, you might not have rule of law. And if the guy in charge does not like you, he might take your property. So will you go into Bitcoin cash in that case or really go to Bitcoin? You’ll go to Bitcoin. The same is when you have people struggling with hyperinflation. They go into bitcoin. So there is an inherent demand outside of justice, speculation for bitcoin. So when so when we see a cut in the newly produ produced the bitcoin, the demand is basically the same like its is global. It’s used for all kinds of things. So demand is the same or even increasing because the awareness grows for bitcoin. So there of course you see the newly freshly produced bitcoin supply dropping by too. And then it makes sense that the price would would go up by order of magnitude. Now in bitcoin cash litecoin be ASV, other coins. You don’t have that. You don’t have the global global demand. So did the newly produced supply drops. Nobody even cares. I mean, they’re just trading them on exchanges like they were before. And that’s it. So you understand that. The biggest difference. That is why stocks to flow model is not working with any other coin than Bitcoin that has a halving. And this is very important. This very, very important to understand. So I hope you got it. I hope you got it. The holding. Does it matter if this if the demand is not the same or bigger after the halving for this newly produced coins and in Bitcoin? Usually we’ve seen that that the demand is interstate’s staying the same because then the price will go up. If newly produced supply goes down by 50 percent or if the demand is is going up, then of course this will also go up. Now we have a Lynly saying did you ever look at msorry screener actual volume? So I look at me. Sorry, sometimes. Sometimes. But. You mean that we have a lot of washe raising or what? Because we do have a lot of wussed training. That’s that’s for sure. Yeah. So this one I’ve seen. Yes. Yes, yes. And it’s a big topic like what is the volume of Beskind. What is the. Even the price of bitcoin is a big topic as well. But what exactly do you want me to to see here is just the fact that the market cap is one thing. Liquid market. That is another thing. Yes. Another one I like, by the way, is coin. Market book coin. Market book dot Ceecee, I think. This one is also important, kind of in the same in the same category where you see the true metrics. Let’s see if the site will work. So, yeah, it works because here there’s the rising by support. So this is how much we have in terms of liquidity in the market and how much it will take to drop the price by 5 percent, I think. So let me read this info and buy orders at 10 percent distance from the highest bid price. This is how much you would basically have to dump to drop the price by 10 percent in bitcoin. Pretty much so by support is very important. And you see how quickly it drops in. If it’s just 67 million in this table, can paxos twenty one. But the stable coins. So doesn’t this doesn’t really apply to stable coins SRP because there you have this arbitrage is going to be quickly utilized. If the price of, for example, you as DC drops below a dollar. People gonna buy it instantly. You will see this new demand coming out of nowhere because at the end of day, they are regulated. So there is a good chance that they have their dollars because they are regulated. And so if the price of you as this is below a dollar and you know that they have the backing for one dollar, it’s like free money. It’s not like that with other coins to just table coins that this work works with SRP, just 19, EOS just 18. So yeah, you see that it’s sometimes disc coins. They have very, very thin buy support. If you just scroll down to top 50, even in the top 50, you’ll see below a million. And after top hundred the bi support is literally zero. You can dump and bam with just a little 50k 70k. Yeah. And you know, as soon as you start dumping that by support will probably change. People will pull out their orders because you see the price going down like this, even if you have a buy order setting within the 10 percent of the of the current price. You might remove it. And so and so it might be even faster fall. Ivan. Have you heard read it is going to make a blockchain points system. Interesting. Interesting. I haven’t heard that. Is it going to be on public blockchain or linking the link in the chat? Read the blockchain points. I haven’t actually heard it, but is it going to be like their own private blockchain experiment or not tipping system? Interesting. Is Reddit devising a new tipping system? Interesting. Interesting. Let’s check. I hope it’s on. If help is on it or something, it could be doing there. Okay. All right. Previous, maybe some stellar. All right. It was first run on the trader. Interesting screen recording posted. So what is the what is the thing here? Oh, you have coins, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have coins. Nice rigid coins. I wonder what blushing they’re going to do it on because look, they don’t want to maybe do it on eBay because in the wallet and like pay for transactions, nobody is going to do that. If they’re not encrypt, it’s going to be difficult to convince people. But maybe if they do on iOS then the the users don’t do. I will see. Yes. We’ll see. Yes. It depends on what kind of role they take because the best thing would would would do it on EEF, but it’s not the best from user experience. So if Reddit really takes the role of the educator because it’s very, very expensive and difficult to educate people about new technology and show them here’s your wallet, here’s your private key. You might lose your private key, by the way. And if you lose it, we cannot help you. It’s gonna be very expensive. Their support will explode with tickets. Whereas my Reddit points or I’m trying to use metho mascara on my Nokia ten fifty five from the 80s. Why is my metal mask and my redit points are not working like they’re going to apple. Oh kind of. That’s when you’re introducing new technology. So the question is will they want to deal with it or not or not? Because I think they probably will not want to deal with it. So they will just have, for example, that they hold to everyone’s coins. And if you want to withdraw your coins to our wallet, you can do that. And then it’s up to you to learn everything. But you don’t have to withdraw or or they can just use you or something. So, yeah, I lost my private key and my two or before a I knew it was important. Yeah, private key. We’ve all lost some private game. They changed the transparency laws to have meeting outside of public view. The Fed, the politicians. Nicole, again, amazing, amazing show. Ivan, you are truly you truly understand how to combine the facts of blockchain, old finance and presented in style. Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for the nation. I love this fireworks. They are just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I hope they’re not lagging your phones. Guys, if you have phones that are lagging, let me know. But the amazing fireworks, man. Maybe we will have like a setting so that you can turn off the fireworks if your phone is too slow or it’s not working for some reason. First step. It’s lagging, says Meleia. Maybe we’ll have a button like no fireworks. First time ever, thank you and your team for all the great content. Been following since the early books. Mine. Old books. Mining. That was. That was good times. Fireworks crashing my work visa. I mean, look, I mean, either can make the fireworks smaller, but then it will kind of ruin the effect for me at least. I want have big fireworks. So maybe you yourself can like change how much fireworks you want. Because I want big fireworks, man. And when you do a super chat, I want my whole screen to have fireworks. Ivan, where can they vote? What is the next object should be or what? What, what? Oh, man. My my web, too, at the same time. Oh, now my even my screen is lagging. It’s like a wall. Yeah. Make it look. Yeah. That was amazing. At the same time. It was amazing. Let’s see. This was a good question about wasn’t it subject. I think if you did the first course, you should already have a service sent out to you. But I know that you guys want flashlight. So we’re gonna do it. We’re gonna do flash loans. Do use your sample domain building your apps. If not, why? So for now, we’re focusing on. I wanted the com slash live and we’re not building the unstoppable domain yet because we need to build this. Like this is the priority. We need to build the superjet theory on this working already, but we want to continue building it and then we will move on. Do not touch the fireworks, says V, a few. Exactly. Exactly. Man, I hope it’s good that you like them as goosh like you. I don’t see the algo trading course in your academy. I’m not registered yet. Can you give some info about it? You should see it. Why are you not seeing it? You should, of course, see it. It’s. It’s in. Let’s see. Oh, maybe Wood didn’t added to the tracks. We maybe didn’t add it to the tracks, man. Fireworks exploding. Another one doing it for fireworks, John. Nice, nice, nice. I’m addicted to this fireworks, by the way. So let’s see where we are. Maybe we didn’t add this man. Maybe I’m blushing for business. Yeah. I remember it. We forgot to add it in the tracks here. But look, it’s in the academy for sure. It’s in the academy doing it for Johns. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. So let me actually show it to if I am logged in. If I’m not logged, then let’s see it. Let me just quickly show it to Boom-Boom. Oh, my. I just had my Adam on. But anyway, it in the academy. What we teach you is, number one, how to create bots on it, chasing bots. We do it. No one in tracing you, you know, chasing you. They have their scripting that they have. Pine Pines script Superjet is superb. Super. Amazing. So with this shell to do your trading was in trading view and how to do like your own indicators. That’s number one. Number two, with two shots, you create your own bots that run on your server in JavaScript from scratch. You don’t need to know anything. And then we also connect with exchanges and we execute orders and exchanges programmatically. But I will need to put it on the on the first page. So if you don’t know anything about how to build your own bots in the trading, then join because we will teach you everything from scratch. We will be back. Back. We will back our freedom starting with Bitcoin. Yes, indeed. And yes, if you haven’t yet signed up, go and sign up for a four hour webinar. Completely free, completely amazing, amazing webinar. We have even people getting employed after this webinar. By the way, I will show you a story if you join them and lets completely free how to stack massive amounts of SATs in this bull market. And we’re going to give you important, important tools to do that without any risks. Because, look, it’s not about like investing in some kind of shade, the old and the hopital 100x. So go and sign up right now in the link below on YouTube or here on Amazon.com. Slash life. What about what do you think about implementing signing with hive or anything blockchain related? Maybe man made mint in the bezel. How big it is. And ideally, ideally for now we are not that interested. For now, at least for now, at is because we have other priorities we need to make like crypto superjet work and all of that. But maybe then we’ll do it. It’s like it’s also things that Doug that. Man, if you’re watching from DuckDuckGo, I’m sorry, we still haven’t had time to fix. But I know there’s this guy using Dat Dat Go browser on mobile and apparently we have some bugs there. I didn’t even know they have a browser. So we need to we need to check it. Check it. Keep up the good work. Happy finally moved out of YouTube. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. John. Thanks so much. Emojis. Well, immodest work, but you have to put it in yourself. So let me see. helderman man on Windows Fentiman. No. Where’s oh, here’s emoji. So if I put the heart light like you just have to do it yourself IMO. Just work is just that. Oh, I have my Tesla account here. Look, it will just work. But yeah, maybe we should we should add that when you do like this and you do a module like this, that it will also be automatically converted into an emoji. But they work you if you just put in them. Well, guess what is this, huh? I see you guys posting this. Is it the face or what? Many, many of your this I have no clue what it is. It’s like we’re going down in price. Is that like the price indicator? Because we are going down right now. I’m using Doug. Doug, go on. Mobile seems good, but fibers can be overwhelming. Yemen, especially when many fireworks. That’s that’s where they work. I think you should start fireworks. That’s true. That’s true. Maybe we should. Otherwise, it’s gonna be overwhelming quickly. That’s actually true. I think we’ll do it. We’ll do it. Fireworks, because, man, I love fireworks. It’s amazing. I sense since that we had the idea to create our own super chat. I always had this idea of fireworks that we need to do something amazing. Is a Darth Vader face, I think. No overlapping fireworks. Yeah. That is gone. If like five people at the same time, the fireworks are going to be too big for some machines. I’m just here for fireworks to spam. It’s an Eskimo, Jim. You’re not old enough to know what I’ve. Ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see them. I see that it’s a Moja, but yes, maybe I’m not too old enough. Let’s do supercharged fireworks stress test. You could if you could. It’s like you can also do it locally, by the way, if you know a bit of development. You can open up your console and you can do it locally. When Selim’s to clean it up. But where’s the console here? Oh, it’s called the confetti. Confetti superjet confetti like you see, you can execute this function locally. See, I can just I can just spam my machine to death like this if I just do all of this functions. Oh, man. Mama, I hope my. I just need to refresh. Yeah. So you can spam that function in the console if you want. But we. Yeah. You see. Yeah. Well we will. We will make the code. Oh but what it’s called we will obfuscated. We have too many people looking on the code to obfuscate. Ivan I love to be part of this community. I’m sixty two year old. Nice man. Nice man. Boomer and the one percent convinced you’re doing the right thing. Thanks, man. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Global citizen. I appreciate you a lot. Thanks so much. Hacker watch out. Exactly. You. We’ll get it. Like I had Amadeu saying, we need to do cleaner CSF yesterday. Man, dont look up the code. But it’s good that you guys look because it gets better is get better where you guys can find things that we can do better. I’m jealous of my hair. Well, look at it. It’s an age thing soon. I’m gonna be without hair aswell. Fireworks. Did those possible. No, no, it’s not possible. It’s not possible. No, it’s not. You can only do it locally, like for yourself. You can do this fireworks. But if you want other people to get fireworks, it’s nice. That isn’t going to work. Mushin side. Mushin back. Back. Dee Dee. Density. Top respect. OK. Zoom securites. I didn’t want to say anything. I dont want to solve crypto like a global citizen. Good on you. All we can. All we can do is try to make a difference. Exactly. Exactly. Okay, guys. Yes. It’s 59 minutes, Snaith. You’re correct. You’re correct. Let’s end before an hour. Let’s end it because I don’t want the time on YouTube. Seem too long because people click less. So, guys, thank you so much for being here yet again.

$2.3 TRILLION BAILOUT!! BUY BITCOIN!!! Hyperinflation – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome guys. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton and here on Although I Will Not Take we are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central B and finally, as I come to like an atomic clock each and every day. Today we will be discussing the corporate Marxism of the current financial system. We do have the Fed yesterday committing 2.3 freshly printed dollars, freshly printed fiat to buy debt, corporate debt and also to buy junk bonds. Can you imagine? They’re not even checking now? They’re not even checking. I know that Ford was downgraded. Their bonds were downgraded just a few weeks ago. And obviously the Fed had to react. So now they also said they weren’t even going to buy downgraded bonds. It’s okay with that. But you will learn all about that in this episode because look what we’re witnessing right now. This has never happened. The Fed is all in. The Fed is merging with the Treasury. You know, normally you have the Fed being here, the government being here. They’re separate. They’re completely separate. And they should be separate because the politicians will always want to mess with money. They always want to create new money because they can fund all kinds of projects and get more votes. So the whole idea, of course, is that Fed should be independent from the government, but that is not truly what’s happening right now. They are merging and they will tell you exactly how it’s happening and how is going on in this episode. And also, it’s important to discuss the fact that you are being robbed. You and I are being robbed. That is the only way to put it, because you understand that you maybe get like $1000, you get some deferred tax payments. I see you already as superjet as super chattel raising guys. That’s amazing. I evangelist’s. Adam, thank you so much. Amazing. Still waiting for the leader. Not not really sure what you mean, but thank you so much for the nation. And let me know if it works on mobile. If you do the mobile on desktop. I was going to be number one. Number two, we’re going to discuss oil. You know that now we have an agreement that this cartel will cut production opaque. And Russia. They will cut the production. And obviously, this all affects Bitcoin identity. This all affects Bitcoin. We have the hovering right around the corner, right around the corner. And we’re going to discuss that as well. So, guys, all welcome. How are you doing? I see the chart rolling. We are, of course, light streaming only and exclusively on. I want to dot com slash live. Welcome, everyone. I cbf you. I see the huddle. I see crypto mico. Crypto Vader danièle race vest. Armstrong done. That guy’s amazing. Let me know what you arching him from right now at this very moment in time where you are watching this from another another another supercut from evangelist Ivan someone’s someone sullies group to hear about the evangelist movement. I’m here to keep your seat warm. Nice, nice. My nice little solace group. That was our helicopter money yesterday. So today we have evangel is being helicopter money. Guess you’d like the Fed sometimes. Who is going to be the Fed? Today’s the question with helicopter money in the chat. And look, look, today we’re drinking black coffee. No milk, no sugar. No sugar involved. And looking at the markets, you will see something very significant today. I can assure you of that. But before we go into that, this was hilarious. Strub saying, I flatten the death curve, but look, he put it in the wrong way. Somebody made this joke. Mr. President, you’re holding sideways because the US that, you know, is at an all time high. And by design, it is like that. By design is going to be like that. So don’t even expect this to change. This is growing exponentially. And if you know how the current fractional reserve banking works, how the current system works, how governments have outsourced money creation to the central bank, to the private banks, but also now the Fed is coming in printing like crazy. The whole economy is based on that. And the only way forward is have more debt. And we’re going to have a whole episode on this topic. Why? This is going to continue. And there is no way to get that down to make it stop. There is no way. So is just by definition how this economy works. This will just keep growing. The debt will keep growing. It will not go down. It’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. And Young said that this exponential move will become more and more dramatic. It is truly exponential. I mean, you look at this, this is basically how bitcoin grew in price during the past 10 years, completely exponential. Nine million percent we saw in Bitcoin price growth. Well, you see the same kind of development in national debt in the in the United States. And this is by design, guys, in order to make the economy work, we need more debt and there’s only going to continue. So don’t even expect it. Some people are like, hey, I didn’t expect this to grow. Why is this so big? Don’t even expect against have your expectations straight. This thing will just continue to grow. And they don’t get the surprise that it’s just by design like it it’s always gonna be like that, but it’s not sustainable. That is the thing. It’s not sustainable until we see some kind of reset in the system. Now, we are at 24 trillion right now and we have another super chart from Michael Valérie. Good morning from Amsterdam with T. Good morning to Amsterdam. Thank you so much. So we are at 24 trillion in national debt in the U.S. This is just going to continue. We’re going to be at the third to truly and very soon. And then at 60 and then at the hundred. And then the two hundred you see exponential. So expect it just expected. So looking at the markets, well, the following situation in Bitcoin and in the crypto space. Let me actually just put you in the top market cap like so worth bitcoin at minus 5 percent almost. So quite a brutal downfall, to be honest with you. We did not really establish ourselves firmly above seven cape. We have them at minus 5 percent. We have X-ART, P.F. minus 3 percent. So we have a lot of fear. And just like we discussed in the chad before we went live, which you’re going to see now, is people of bipolarity changing. Their bipolarity is changing very quickly in crypto. Now everyone’s going to say we’re going to go to Touquet. Now everyone’s going to say, we’re going to go to 3K. Just remember it. And this is kind of the thing you got to realize. We are bipolar. We’re bipolar. Hearings always gonna be like that. Nicole, what do you think about the Atlantis report on YouTube? I haven’t checked it. I will check it. Atlantis report. And thank you so much for the superjet and fireworks. You always make Friday a bit better with fireworks, guys. So we see a downfall in the top-10, especially a C minus 10 percent. I mean, obviously with B ASV, we have the Halling coming up soon. And you know how the halving went from Bitcoin cash? Not very well. I mean, it was very boring. Nothing really happened in terms in terms of price. It just collapsed and miners obviously stopped mining. So we did see a difficulty decrease. And now it’s just less security on the Bitcoin cash network. So BSEE is going to have the same basically today. I think it should be like in a few days, like if, you know, exact date, but it’s very, very soon. Looking at the big winners, we have waves, Dash Haddara, not a lot of winners today, only waves basically. And losers are in there was synthetic SK1. But look, the reason why many people are asking we have seen PSV, we’ve seen before encash. We’ve seen light. So why is Bitcoin having different? Why are people more excited about Bitcoin is humming? Well, because Bitcoin is more of a global phenomenon. It’s more of a global phenomenon. You see Bitcoin being used, for example, in third world countries. We’ve talked about how the Latin American economy in terms of local bitcoin is being all around Venu. Salah is being centred all around the you sell the Gore-Bush that episode if you don’t know what I’m talking about. We see the same thing in Africa. We see that in Asia, people using a lot of Kryptos well, in order to avoid restrictions in banking. And they are obviously using bitcoin. They’re using deathers because. Untether another one from Niccol. I love you. I love you, man, too. I love you, man. So this is more of a global thing. So when something like Holly happens, we do see. The supply and demand play out in the real economy way more, way more with big cash and BSP. Bitcoin cash NBA savvy. And by the way, when I say big cash, I don’t mean to mock it. Just like saying cash more. So we look at big cash NBC. It’s mostly internally to their to their tribe. That’s where most of the trading happens. The same with Lt.-Col. Like gold is a bit, by the way, more global as well. Bitcoin, cash and BSE. But what is the conclusion? The conclusion is that when the supply new newly produced supply in bitcoin cash or BSEE drops by 50 percent, you don’t really see a lot of demand. The demand is basically doesn’t even Karokhail. It’s less supply. We’re not going to trade us as much. I mean, are people going to say that? No, they’re not going to say that because it’s only used within their community for changing. A bit of speculation is still being used that somebody really needs somewhere in the world. So that’s the biggest difference between the hoardings of or Lt.-Col and Bitcoin cash. BWV and Bitcoin, because bitcoin, you do have more of a global effect. There is an inherent demand for biscuit and that is why that is why stop the flow model only works with bitcoin because stock to flow model describes the relationship between new supply and the demand and how it’s gonna affect everything. So please keep it in mind. Another one from Solit group Duyen waiting for a new stealth bomber. munya. I’ll buy bitcoin under 6.6 gate. This is the time to DCA when we have a bit of a pullback. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, yes. Remember that we do have our webinar completely free webinar on April the twenty ninth where we’re going to discuss how to stack massive, absolutely massive amounts of SATs in this bull market. That is coming up. And it’s completely free. You gotta check it out if you’re not in that category and if you haven’t been in this webinar before, completely free of nothing to lose. So just click the link below and sign up right now. And we do have our collaboration with BioBlitz and Femke. So if are trading, you want to trade with leverage. Go to a link below. You see best kripp deals. Click there. As always, Pemex man. Why are they loading so slowly? Always. Here they are on Fenwick’s. You basically can do bitcoin a theorem you SRP link dess light on and gold. You can also have gold here and buy, but it’s only bitcoin sitroom. ios6. But the good thing with by bit. I personally prefer byb it a bit more because they have more liquid asset. I mean the way more people are using it, it’s a way more mature platform, so to speak. So go and check out them in the description, but be very careful. Be extremely careful. More fireworks, guys. More more fireworks in the chat. You are on fire today. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Thank you, Harold. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Now, you know that it’s Friday and they told you that I would explain to you why. It’s amazing to have a Friday, but why you should not be overly excited about Friday aswell, because people who are overly excited about Friday, I sometimes feel that they don’t like what they’re doing during the week. So this is kind of the piece of knowledge I want to give to you today. Before we get into the corporate Marxism is that this case is Friday. But if you hate if you hate Mondays, you hate weekdays. You have to switch careers. Yes, you have to reconsider. So that is why, by the way, you should go and join the webinar, if you like, fried this too much. This is for you. Now, of course, if you have something you like, you work with something you like. You just want to spend more time with your family during the weekend. And that’s why you’re excited for Fridays. Completely fine. But if you feel that man, finally, I don’t have to go to work, then you really have to reconsider what you’re doing in life. And then, of course, Krypto full time is very important. And you gotta to learn how to stack sets. So go to the webinar first and foremost. Smart money is buying, guys, as you can see. We do have accumulation in terms of whales. Number of whales with and with an account with over 1000 1000. Bitcoin is increasing right now. This is looking a glass node on chain fundamentals and we’re seeing this accumulation in these accounts. They are going up. You know that we cans are selling. Retail is selling while wealth are accumulating because we know that the hubbing is just right around the corner. Now, accumulation always happens before the hoving, as we’ve seen in the past as well. Whales are accumulating. Weekends are not really accumulating because they don’t know what will happen. They’re a bit scared. They’re a bit uncertain what’s going to happen. Everyone is uncertain. But at least you’re gonna have some kind of vision for the future. Some kind of your internal belief, which you things are going to happen to Bitcoin long term. And obviously, if you are a whale, you do have that understanding and you accumulate during this time. So look at what the smart money is doing. And obviously, when we saw bitcoin completely wild. That is when Wells also started to selling off their stock and started to sell off here mostly, mostly before we reached like the crazy peak because you know that it’s impossible to time of the peak for you. It’s impossible to know exactly where the peak is. So smart manual’s taking profits. Those times as well. And now since basically 2009, in January, we’ve seen trend in accumulation. So keep it in mind. Look, we are living in very, very strange times. We’re living in very strange times because now is when you see America really showing how it works and when people say that America is the sign of capitalism failing. What they don’t understand is that it’s not capitalism, to be honest. It’s not capitalism in good times. We are religious capitalists. But if something goes wrong, we don’t mind socialism. But the socialism is not for you and me. It’s not for the middle class. It’s not for people who actually who actually need it. That is key to understand. It is for corporations. It is when the Fed is producing new money. It is when the Fed is going completely All-In like they’re doing right now with their operations. And this is something you can not ignore. Guys, there’s something we cannot ignore because you’re being you’re being robbed. Hey, man. Sebastian, thank you so much. Testing Super Shuttle Mobile. I hope it works. I hope it worked fine. So what do you make out of this? The following. The following. They will try to make people happy nonetheless. They will try to make it so that you and I don’t revolt. So we’re seeing right now, for example, Trump coming out and considering canceling student debt, because obviously everyone is looking at what’s going on with the corporate side. And obviously, you don’t want to see only corporations getting all of this free money. So let’s play this clip and then we’ll continue the discussion. Let me know if the sound works. Let me know if the sound works. Today, the Department of Education is also announcing the availability of more than 6 billion dollars in emergency grant funding to assist college students impacted by the cancellation of classes and the suspension of housing. A lot of people had a lot of things suspended. Housing is one of them. Previously, we waive student loan payments for six months. So student loan payments have been waived for six months and we’ll discuss it after that may go further. Look, they are together talk about maybe we’re gonna cancel your student, that may be maybe, maybe, maybe. Personally, I think that in this new times we’re living in. It could happen, but that would actually surprise me. It would surprise me if student debt got canceled. It would be in many cases a good thing from many perspective. A good thing, because, hey, if we’re still doing the socialism thing, if we’re already started, why not help? Also, young people look is better to help them as well. There are many arguments for that. They they they can start working from. From a position in which they have no debt. They can just start their lives without being slaves from day one. That is why you could make that argument in another country. Argument could be that what if somebody just paid off their debt and now they’re cancelling everyone’s student debt? You are basically rewarding the people who did not pay it back. And now if you just paid it back, you mentioned how you would feel if you just paid everything back and now suddenly it’s all canceled and you didn’t have to pay it. If you just waited a few more weeks. So obviously, it’s not an easy question, but I think the most important effect of this is to calm down everyone, to calm down everyone who is seeing the printer go wild right now and seeing the Fed go wild. It’s to say, hey, guys. You will also get a bit of that freshly printed fiat. Maybe. Maybe we’ll consider it for now. You just we just defer your payments, but maybe, maybe, maybe we’ll consider it because that would be a big thing. I mean, this would be a big thing for the average job. No question about that. I would be surprised if it actually happens. Let’s see. It’s not impossible. But the way the system works is not is not for students. I mean, it’s not for the for the middle class. And it’s not for anyone who has some kind of personal debt. I really, really doubt it will happen. But we’ll see. Nico, I’m father of three new babies to pay to pay for our failure. How how do you mean? I’m not really sure what you mean, but if you mean that they’re going to take care of you, then it may be a good strategy. We’re going back to the old days, by the way. Many people might be thinking in those old ways that, hey, we’re going to have kids to actually take care of us if you, of course, have financial difficulties. Now, what’s important to note is the numbers here. Now, we’ve mentioned that even the average Joe gets a bit of hope from the administration. They get a bit of hope. So they are calm. They don’t really do something crazy. They don’t protest too much. Maybe counselors tell them that. Now we’re seeing what’s happening with the Fed, the 2.3 trillion dollar now being printed to buy junk bonds. You’ll see Lynly. But saying. Exactly. Exactly. You’re like the mining or guys today. Amazing. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. So they are expanding their program with 2.3 freshly freshly printed theat in programs aimed at helping businesses and state local governments. So that’s what’s gonna happen. That announcement sparked a jump in stocks, a drop in the dollar because it’s getting devalued by the moment, guys. If you’re sitting in the dollar, reconsider. I mean, I would ask you to consider not financial advice, but I’m reconsidering that because too many people now become super bullish on the dollar. They think that this flight to safety will continue because the dollar has been performing quite well during the past months. We’ve seen a sell off in all kinds of assets. Where are they going? I mean, where is the value going to the dollar? But at the end of the day, everyone has already sold everything. That’s what’s going to happen. And then you sit there with your dollars. What do you do? Guess what do do you? As soon as possible want to buy a real asset that produces monthly cash flow. The last thing you want to do is sit and dollars long term. Yes, there are a lot of deflationary deflationary movements right now, such as a lot of debt being denominated in U.S. dollars and everyone needs dollars to pay back their debt or pay for their margin calls or to close their other obligations that are also denominated in dollars. But at the end of the day, you will be sitting there with dollars and what will you do? You will get very worried. You will get an easy because they are just printing another one from solid crypto. They are smart. They give the normal people this bits creating more and even this. Now the middle class is fighting each other for food and helicopter money. Divide and conquer. Soon. Soon, soon. The art of war must through this. I’ve read it, and you’re completely correct. That’s what’s going on right now. You’re completely correct. So keep this in mind now. The most important thing that’s going on right now is the fight that they’re going to buy junk bonds. They’re going to buy junk bonds. This has never happened before at this scale. So it would appear this Fed is aware that the economy is in dire straits, particularly with the small companies, and they are likely to take highly unusual steps, some unprecedented steps to see if they can loosen up that sector. So that’s what’s happening. They are all in. The Fed is really doing everything they can. They are gonna commit to this. The have already committed. And look, as part of the announcement, the Fed expanded its corporate lending programs to take it into a new area, including. CFS of companies that are rated below investment grade, basically junk junk bonds. Guys, why are they doing that? This is a very important thing to understand. Why is it so that the Fed Golson buys these bonds? Well, mainly to keep up the prices of the bonds, of course, because if you have the bond prices falling, corporate debt prices falling. It means that if you are a corporation and you are struggling and you want to release a new bond, because that is how you get finance, you release a bond that is debts that other people buy and they give you money for that bond and then you pay them interest and then you pay back that debt with time. But you understand that if the demand for the bonds on the market is zero, nobody’s buying bonds. Everyone is scared. That is what’s happening right now. Everyone’s scared. Nobody’s buying bonds. It means that for you to even be able to even be able to finance yourself to taking new money into your corporation through issuing bonds, it means that you have to increase the interest rate because there is no demand for any bonds. So the only way to maybe have someone buy your bond is to have a high interest rate. So that is the thing. The Fed comes in and says, hey, we will buy your bond. Don’t worry. We will buy your bond so that the corporations can take in more debt. They are able to sell their bonds, because when the Fed is doing this, it means that other banks and other investment banks and other institutions are also feeling a bit more comfortable to buy this debt from corporations to to to give corporations money, take their bonds, because they know that in the worst case, they can sell it to the Fed. They know it’s a market for this for these bonds, even junk bonds. Now there is a market because the Fed will buy them at the end of the day. So that is important. That is the most important thing to understand, because when you read this that the Fed is now buying corporate debt, corporate bonds. You don’t understand what’s going on. But if you know, that is because they want to keep up the market for bonds going so that these corporations can issue bonds and they know that somebody is going to buy them, they don’t have to have to crazy interest rate. That is what’s happening. And that is what they’re trying to do now to tell the bond market, hey, be active, be. Be calm down. Be confident in this bond market, because I doubt they were going to buy everything. Otherwise, if they didn’t do that, the the bonds would go down and nobody would buy them. And you s-corporation, you can not take in more debt. You can’t have crazy interest rates. And even when you do, people might not want to buy them. Now we have a donation from Zero Joy. Ivan, thanks for your content. Crazy economy. Will this super shot have the option to pay encrypted regards from Switzerland? Yes, crypto is coming. We’re going to start with ethe because it’s fast transaction and everyone has EIF and then maybe we’ll add the lightning because look, we’re not going to have bitcoin and wait for a six six confirmations. Maybe we’ll have we can have a 0 confirmation payment or something, but we can start with EEF because it’s so easy man. It’s so easy like this is gonna be a bit more difficult but if is very easy. So you can also understand that when we see this, we become addicted because now the whole market is functioning around the fact that the Fed will buy anything, they will buy anything. And that is how the market is structured. Mukul, please check the Atlantis report. Maybe you can find on why YouTube didn’t ban them. I will check them out. You guys recommended. I will check them out. Thank you so much, Nico, for donation. So what’s important here is that we’ve become addicted now that you see the whole bond market relying on the Fed. They’re basically telling Hape we’re confident because the Fed this year imagine now the Fed pulling out. How the confidence will disappear. So the Fed cannot pull out. I mean, they are in this. They are all in. They have committed. Once the Fed enters a market like the bond market, like they’ve done right now, buying even junk bonds they have committed. There is no way for them to go back, because if they go back, the whole confidence in that market collapses even more to even lower levels compared to when the Fed entered. And when corporate debt market collapses, no corporation will be able to get funding from bonds because nobody will buy them. Nobody will actually give them money. So you see that we are this addicts. The whole economy is addicted. That is why also is connected to this situation with exponential debt. You need just to have more debt once you have a bit of debt, like the only way forward is more. And we’re gonna have a whole episode where I explain how it works, exactly why you should not even expect it to go down or sideways. It will never do, guys. The national debt, it will just continue going up in an exponential rate now is not sustainable. This is like we will see how much it continues, but I don’t know how much. Maybe two hundred trillion, maybe to 500 trillion. We’re gonna be there soon because it’s exponential. Our brains can not comprehend exponential developments a lot because you see, just a few years ago, we were somewhere here on this chart and then we completely exploded. Now to hear it, look, it’s just gonna be exponential. So we are addicted and it’s just going to continue like this. What’s important as well is that we need to be looking at the dates. So you see, for example. We have this 2.3 trillion loan bailout program that the Fed announced recently. Yesterday they really started with this. They really started looking on this in March and you know that on March 24th for it was downgraded because obviously nobody is buying cars in the crisis. Nobody is really investing in that. So the bonds, the corporate debt of Ford was downgraded for this, obviously very important for the U.S. economy. No question about that. For employment. So now the Fed basically had to readjust their strategy and say, hey, we’re even gonna go and buy the debt or off of companies that are below investment grade such as Ford. So it’s important. It’s important. And that is exactly what’s going wrong. And look, they got that mess with the rules a lot. That is what they have done. This is what Jerome Powell said. They had the Fed in it recently when he announced this whole situation with two point three trillion. These programs that we are using under the law. We do this, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of treasury secretary and the fiscal of backing from the Congress through the Treasury. So here is where we start talking about the fact that they are emerging. The Fed and the Treasury are merging. They are bending the rules. They’re bending the reality of how this whole system was set out to be the relationship and the polarity of the Fed. And the government is now breaking down and they are merging their view. Thank you so much. By bit leverage 106 for life. Thank you so much. V a few a an H. I really appreciate you. So this is very big because now the the Treasury is in tandem. They’re working in tandem with the Fed. And if you read the quote further, you see that we’re doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. We are directed by Congress. We are using the fiscal backdrop to absorb annual losses we have. So we have monetary and fiscal policy now in full in full speed, in full effect. And you know that monetary policy is already exhausted because how much lower can you do interest rates? You can still do a lot with fiscal, but that requires political will and political support. Our ability is limited by law. By the law. Look, you said that it’s limited. It’s limited, but they are moving forward. We have to find unusual and exigent circumstances. And the treasury secretary has to agree. And we’re using this fiscal backdrop. So, look, they are limited by the law, but they will still find ways through working with the government, through working with the administration. Any thoughts on how this will affect deferred development? Says said that we’ll get less discussed if I then say I will bring it up, but then deferred development. But good question. We will, of course, talk about this at them. And it has a lot to do because the only way forward for the Fed is either to print more money. They will do that. They could even lower interest rates a bit more. They could still do some some monetary policy. Obviously, when you have negative interest rates, you also have to decide the banks will have to decide either to implement it in savings accounts. So, for example, in Europe, in the E.U., if you have a corporate account in the bank and you have euros, you have euros, you will lose money every month, you will lose minus 0.4 percent or zero point zero. For something like that, you’re going to lose. OK. I think it 0.4 percent. But these days of interest rate, your money in the bank, they take they take a bit. I’ve experienced this. I’ve had money, corporate money with our corporation. We had it in a bank account. We had euros each and every month. We were paying negative interest rate. Now it’s not like that. If you have a personal account and this is not an all in all banks, some banks don’t don’t have this because the banks decide it’s not an all banks. But if this continues, you understand that the Fed, the only thing they will be able to do is to decrease interest rates and then literally force people to spend their money. You have your money in the bank. It disappears. You literally have to go and run and buy something as soon as possible, especially with digital fiat. So here’s where it becomes scary, because digital fiat will be pushed down your throat. It will be like that. You will be forced to accept it. Why is it so? Because they can have monetary instant policy like never before. Right now it’s up to the banks. The banks decide, OK. We should have negative interest rates in the accounts or not. So as I told you, our bank had negative interest rates for corporate accounts, for private accounts. They did not. Some other banks don’t even have that for corporate accounts. Now, the Fed obviously wants more economic activity. They want digital cash so they can enforce this negative interest rates. By themselves, without going through the private banks and checking with them by themselves, everyone will have a minus. For example, 1 percent in in the interest rate. Whatever money you have in your wallet, it will evaporate. You’re forced to spend it as soon as possible. Now here’s where Defi comes in. For example, when you look at old stable coins like Teather, you did see. You look at you as D.S. you look at all of the essentially stable coins. You know that they have dollars in their bank account. That’s how they work. They bag their stable coins with dollars. Imagine their bank account in the near future having negative interest rate, which might happen. Look at how it might happen that they will have negative interest rates in their bank account, just like we had in our corporate bank accounting in Sweden. So it means that they need to produce somehow. Teather now needs to produce positive cash flow in order to even be able to keep their reserve of dollars because they’re losing each and every month, each and every day they’re losing a bit. So this means that if you look at Defi coming back to a question about DFI, when you look at DI, for example, DI is also pegged to the dollar. That is also pegged to the dollar. But it’s not being backed by a bank account that disappears evaporates. It’s backed by an algorithm. So here’s where DI will really outperform all other stable funds because all other stable course is basically a gamble. They need to risk the money to get positive cash flow to be able to even have reserves as they are without losing. All right. But with DI, you don’t have that. Is it just supply and demand of for eith and diet loans alone mechanics? CGP collateralised debt position. So here is where you truly will see defi shining if negative interest rates become big. And this is something that many people don’t talk about, but it’s one of the most important aspects of die of maker. They will be the only stable coin that is actually that is actually stable to the dollar. And they don’t have to gamble with your funds to to try to get cash because they don’t even have your funds. I mean, just an algorithm. Nobody has your funds, just an algorithm that keeps it that one dollar with supply and demand. Look, leaving this topic, how do you summarize it? Man, it’s a lot. It’s a lot. A lot, a lot. How do you summarize this topic? Number one, if you have Fiat. Don’t be too comfortable, guys. Don’t be too comfortable. Yes. Asset prices have been falling. But but but then over there, you know that it’s just a printer at the end of the day. So think about the fact that it’s it’s inflated like crazy. What happens when this money actually enters the economy? What will happen to consumer prices if these trillions enter the economy? They’re still stuck only in the financial assets. But what will happen if this money suddenly enters the real economy? What will happen to consumer prices? Think about that. Think about that. There’s always a deflation before hyperinflation. All hyperinflation is are followed are preceded by deflation. That’s very important. Think about the fact that when you hear somebody saying the students will be cancelled, haven’t mind that. Of course, this would be amazing if they got cancelled. But don’t be too optimistic because it mostly is just to calm people down and look at everything that is going on in the financial sector. Don’t expect the the debt to fall. It will never fall. It will increase exponentially. It is by design is how it’s supposed to be is by design. It’s not sustainable long term. And the bottom line, we have corporate Marxism. We have corporations getting free money. We don’t have capitalism in the US right now. We have Marxism, corporate Marxism. So whenever people say that capitalism has failed, you have to explain to them this is not at all a free market where a centrally planned where central planning. Right now we’re allocating resources based on how a few guys think they should be allocated. We’re creating all of this money out of thin air, basically redistributing wealth according to decisions made by by a few six year olds or 70 year olds like, look, they cannot compete with a. You cannot compare it with the power of computers and power of analyzing big data. Like you can not have a few dudes doing all of these decisions. This will get me really mad. Gates I’m sorry, but I think you got to have more of an algorithmic approach to money. People have screwed out, stripped out of screwed up this several times through history. No Fiat survives. No Fiat is here for more than a few decades. The only one that has survived for a very long time is basically the British pound. And so you’ve got to realize they will always screw up. And now we basically have essentially planned economy where if you guys decide exactly where the money will go, who will receive it, who will not receive it. This is what the the guys with the mustache and the beard do, you know, like DeMoro. Engle’s what they’ve been dreaming about. But but this perverted idea that you give it to the corporations. I mean, at least they thought that they would give it to workers or something, you know, would give it to the workers. But now we have corporate marches. I mean, imagine Marx hearing this anyway. You get my point. You get my point. This is this is terrible. A few. Thanks for explaining the basics of finances. Even the most in this chart do understand. Thanks. Thanks to even though most of the do understand. Yeah, I think you guys understand a little it that. That’s amazing. Solid. Thank you so much again. I started development of tdap with star developer from my time. Nice. We were building my bank, Midland Bank, a place where people can store their fiat seemless in. Amazing. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I will check. I will check. Soll. Thanks so much for the Nazy. Thank you so much for the nation. Or I guess moving on. We have some news from Kryptos. Com You know that we are working with crypto dot com. And if you go to Ivan on tech dot com slash deals, I will tell you. Com slash deals, you will find a link to crypto dot com. And if you sign up using this link right here on Amazon, the concierge deals, you get dollars and I get fifty dollars. So we’re both profits from that. But what’s important is that now they’re integrated with Ledger. So if you buy your ledgers with crypto com app, you get 10 percent cash back. So that’s big. And also they are adding all kinds of brands also with 10 percent, the cash cashback. They have Costco, Whole Foods, Kroger, Woolworths carry 4. I look like American brands. I don’t even know what this is, but I guess it’s big. Let me know if this thing is big. Fair price. Shane Qiong E Mart Metro. Yeah. We don’t have this in Sweden. I know Costco and Full Wholefoods here I’ve been when I’m in the US, I’ve been here. Here I haven’t been a door dash. I’ve used that Instacart use that these guys haven’t used. But it seems that these guys are big quarter for it. No it’s not. The US is Frej. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. I was in France a long time ago, but I’ve been in Monaco a few times since then. But it’s kinda France. Kinda not. I didn’t see Corey for there. How do you say it? I am probably butchering the name, but anyway. And finally, some important news from Polonia Pro Polonia to know. These guys are now being controlled by Justin. And now they are jumping on the IEO train a bit late. I mean, a bit late, according to me, because I’m are not a big thing right now, but there you go. They have a lounge bass right now launching and. Yeah, let’s see what kind of things they do. But I mean, honestly, for Io’s to really be interesting in one way or another. You need to have a new bull market. I mean, right now, nobody is gonna care about Io’s, but they are working to increase the utility of Tron ya x because the only way you can be able to participate is through this TR X coin. So there you go, guys. Let’s see. Let’s see. For me, it’s always interesting to see like what the exchanges are doing and what kind of plans they have. And Justin san. He’s buying everything. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out like the like this timeat fiasco because it is a fiasco. Can I say anything against that? Look, we have basically a split in the community community completely taking the matter into their own hands, into their own hands and and disregarding and disregarding them. This takeover. But let’s see how Polonia X performs. If they can. If they can manage to do something out of this, but the jury is in the next bull market, I don’t think it will be a big thing right now in in this current times, because people are not really, really interested in ideals right now. Will change, will probably change. We’re going to see whether it’s going to be IYO a system or something else. But there will always be appetite for Alz. I mean, always in a bull market. Always, always, always. Trump can still pump in the hype. It’s too cheap. How do you mean it’s cheap, though? Please don’t say you look at the price per coin because too many people do that. And I always have to explain it. So when you look at price per coin, it is one cent. But guys, please, why are you looking at price per coin? Because I guess that’s what you’re looking at. When you say it’s chip, it has a market cap of eight hundred forty two million like a close to Cardinal Baseball. Kodama has Monaro look at market cap. This is this is the price of an eight hundred million. This doesn’t matter of price per coin does not matter. But it’s an example of why you need to have a big supply base. You need to have a big supply in your Quinn. And I know my friends and I would joke that if Satoshi created bitcoin and he gave it instead of twenty one million cap, he gave it a cap of one point 2.1 billion. So instead of twenty one million you have just for simplicity’s sake, let’s say you did twenty one billion. Thank you so much Steve. Can I pay supercharged with crypto buyer SPDC. Look, we’re going to start with ethe man. Well you can add all of the old coins later. We’re going to start with EIF or Teq, so we’re gonna do ethe first. But thank you for the nation state. So look, if Satoshi did 20 1 billion and not twenty one million coins, it would mean that the price of bitcoin currently would be just six point nine dollars. Because you know that twenty one billion is a thousand times twenty one million. So the price would be a thousand times less. It would be 6.9 and we would have the same market cap. So if that would be the case, people would not find bitcoin expensive and we would maybe not have all of the old guys because people would think that bitcoin is cheap as well. Just six dollar coin. Can you elaborate on BEHKISH hubbing and why it is dropping BTC champ thing for the nation? Well, let’s let me elaborate. The thing is, when we’re looking at the harvest, the only reason why we’re seeing Bitcoin jump up in price with an order of magnitude so that, you know, before the previous hubbing we had the price in terms of a hundreds, like few hundreds. Now we’re talking thousands. After next halving, we’re gonna talk about tens of thousands. We’ve already been at 20K. But what I’m talking about is more that we’re going to be a 50, 60, 70 probably. I don’t know. I don’t know. But no financial advice, as always. No financial advice. But this is how I see it, that the price will develop and it will jump in. Orders of magnitude. Why is it happening? Well, because we are having the new freshly produced coins each and every four, four years, which is which is a similar a similar development. But in the other direction. I mean, your having you basically, you know, when you take times to all the time, you have this exponential development when you’re halving. You have exponential but inverted. So you have you have this exponential city that is just decreasing, decreasing and decreasing. So what I want to say by that, I want to say that if you have an economy such as Bitcoin that is global, it’s global, guys. There is demand in all kinds of countries, whether it is for the fact that people want to be sure that their funds are not confiscated. If you live in a dictatorship, for example, and you are wealthy, you might want to have a bit of bitcoin because, look, you might not have rule of law. And if the guy in charge does not like you, he might take your property. So will you go into Bitcoin cash in that case or really go to Bitcoin? You’ll go to Bitcoin. The same is when you have people struggling with hyperinflation. They go into bitcoin. So there is an inherent demand outside of justice, speculation for bitcoin. So when so when we see a cut in the newly produ produced the bitcoin, the demand is basically the same like its is global. It’s used for all kinds of things. So demand is the same or even increasing because the awareness grows for bitcoin. So there of course you see the newly freshly produced bitcoin supply dropping by too. And then it makes sense that the price would would go up by order of magnitude. Now in bitcoin cash litecoin be ASV, other coins. You don’t have that. You don’t have the global global demand. So did the newly produced supply drops. Nobody even cares. I mean, they’re just trading them on exchanges like they were before. And that’s it. So you understand that. The biggest difference. That is why stocks to flow model is not working with any other coin than Bitcoin that has a halving. And this is very important. This very, very important to understand. So I hope you got it. I hope you got it. The holding. Does it matter if this if the demand is not the same or bigger after the halving for this newly produced coins and in Bitcoin? Usually we’ve seen that that the demand is interstate’s staying the same because then the price will go up. If newly produced supply goes down by 50 percent or if the demand is is going up, then of course this will also go up. Now we have a Lynly saying did you ever look at msorry screener actual volume? So I look at me. Sorry, sometimes. Sometimes. But. You mean that we have a lot of washe raising or what? Because we do have a lot of wussed training. That’s that’s for sure. Yeah. So this one I’ve seen. Yes. Yes, yes. And it’s a big topic like what is the volume of Beskind. What is the. Even the price of bitcoin is a big topic as well. But what exactly do you want me to to see here is just the fact that the market cap is one thing. Liquid market. That is another thing. Yes. Another one I like, by the way, is coin. Market book coin. Market book dot Ceecee, I think. This one is also important, kind of in the same in the same category where you see the true metrics. Let’s see if the site will work. So, yeah, it works because here there’s the rising by support. So this is how much we have in terms of liquidity in the market and how much it will take to drop the price by 5 percent, I think. So let me read this info and buy orders at 10 percent distance from the highest bid price. This is how much you would basically have to dump to drop the price by 10 percent in bitcoin. Pretty much so by support is very important. And you see how quickly it drops in. If it’s just 67 million in this table, can paxos twenty one. But the stable coins. So doesn’t this doesn’t really apply to stable coins SRP because there you have this arbitrage is going to be quickly utilized. If the price of, for example, you as DC drops below a dollar. People gonna buy it instantly. You will see this new demand coming out of nowhere because at the end of day, they are regulated. So there is a good chance that they have their dollars because they are regulated. And so if the price of you as this is below a dollar and you know that they have the backing for one dollar, it’s like free money. It’s not like that with other coins to just table coins that this work works with SRP, just 19, EOS just 18. So yeah, you see that it’s sometimes disc coins. They have very, very thin buy support. If you just scroll down to top 50, even in the top 50, you’ll see below a million. And after top hundred the bi support is literally zero. You can dump and bam with just a little 50k 70k. Yeah. And you know, as soon as you start dumping that by support will probably change. People will pull out their orders because you see the price going down like this, even if you have a buy order setting within the 10 percent of the of the current price. You might remove it. And so and so it might be even faster fall. Ivan. Have you heard read it is going to make a blockchain points system. Interesting. Interesting. I haven’t heard that. Is it going to be on public blockchain or linking the link in the chat? Read the blockchain points. I haven’t actually heard it, but is it going to be like their own private blockchain experiment or not tipping system? Interesting. Is Reddit devising a new tipping system? Interesting. Interesting. Let’s check. I hope it’s on. If help is on it or something, it could be doing there. Okay. All right. Previous, maybe some stellar. All right. It was first run on the trader. Interesting screen recording posted. So what is the what is the thing here? Oh, you have coins, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have coins. Nice rigid coins. I wonder what blushing they’re going to do it on because look, they don’t want to maybe do it on eBay because in the wallet and like pay for transactions, nobody is going to do that. If they’re not encrypt, it’s going to be difficult to convince people. But maybe if they do on iOS then the the users don’t do. I will see. Yes. We’ll see. Yes. It depends on what kind of role they take because the best thing would would would do it on EEF, but it’s not the best from user experience. So if Reddit really takes the role of the educator because it’s very, very expensive and difficult to educate people about new technology and show them here’s your wallet, here’s your private key. You might lose your private key, by the way. And if you lose it, we cannot help you. It’s gonna be very expensive. Their support will explode with tickets. Whereas my Reddit points or I’m trying to use metho mascara on my Nokia ten fifty five from the 80s. Why is my metal mask and my redit points are not working like they’re going to apple. Oh kind of. That’s when you’re introducing new technology. So the question is will they want to deal with it or not or not? Because I think they probably will not want to deal with it. So they will just have, for example, that they hold to everyone’s coins. And if you want to withdraw your coins to our wallet, you can do that. And then it’s up to you to learn everything. But you don’t have to withdraw or or they can just use you or something. So, yeah, I lost my private key and my two or before a I knew it was important. Yeah, private key. We’ve all lost some private game. They changed the transparency laws to have meeting outside of public view. The Fed, the politicians. Nicole, again, amazing, amazing show. Ivan, you are truly you truly understand how to combine the facts of blockchain, old finance and presented in style. Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for the nation. I love this fireworks. They are just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I hope they’re not lagging your phones. Guys, if you have phones that are lagging, let me know. But the amazing fireworks, man. Maybe we will have like a setting so that you can turn off the fireworks if your phone is too slow or it’s not working for some reason. First step. It’s lagging, says Meleia. Maybe we’ll have a button like no fireworks. First time ever, thank you and your team for all the great content. Been following since the early books. Mine. Old books. Mining. That was. That was good times. Fireworks crashing my work visa. I mean, look, I mean, either can make the fireworks smaller, but then it will kind of ruin the effect for me at least. I want have big fireworks. So maybe you yourself can like change how much fireworks you want. Because I want big fireworks, man. And when you do a super chat, I want my whole screen to have fireworks. Ivan, where can they vote? What is the next object should be or what? What, what? Oh, man. My my web, too, at the same time. Oh, now my even my screen is lagging. It’s like a wall. Yeah. Make it look. Yeah. That was amazing. At the same time. It was amazing. Let’s see. This was a good question about wasn’t it subject. I think if you did the first course, you should already have a service sent out to you. But I know that you guys want flashlight. So we’re gonna do it. We’re gonna do flash loans. Do use your sample domain building your apps. If not, why? So for now, we’re focusing on. I wanted the com slash live and we’re not building the unstoppable domain yet because we need to build this. Like this is the priority. We need to build the superjet theory on this working already, but we want to continue building it and then we will move on. Do not touch the fireworks, says V, a few. Exactly. Exactly. Man, I hope it’s good that you like them as goosh like you. I don’t see the algo trading course in your academy. I’m not registered yet. Can you give some info about it? You should see it. Why are you not seeing it? You should, of course, see it. It’s. It’s in. Let’s see. Oh, maybe Wood didn’t added to the tracks. We maybe didn’t add it to the tracks, man. Fireworks exploding. Another one doing it for fireworks, John. Nice, nice, nice. I’m addicted to this fireworks, by the way. So let’s see where we are. Maybe we didn’t add this man. Maybe I’m blushing for business. Yeah. I remember it. We forgot to add it in the tracks here. But look, it’s in the academy for sure. It’s in the academy doing it for Johns. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. So let me actually show it to if I am logged in. If I’m not logged, then let’s see it. Let me just quickly show it to Boom-Boom. Oh, my. I just had my Adam on. But anyway, it in the academy. What we teach you is, number one, how to create bots on it, chasing bots. We do it. No one in tracing you, you know, chasing you. They have their scripting that they have. Pine Pines script Superjet is superb. Super. Amazing. So with this shell to do your trading was in trading view and how to do like your own indicators. That’s number one. Number two, with two shots, you create your own bots that run on your server in JavaScript from scratch. You don’t need to know anything. And then we also connect with exchanges and we execute orders and exchanges programmatically. But I will need to put it on the on the first page. So if you don’t know anything about how to build your own bots in the trading, then join because we will teach you everything from scratch. We will be back. Back. We will back our freedom starting with Bitcoin. Yes, indeed. And yes, if you haven’t yet signed up, go and sign up for a four hour webinar. Completely free, completely amazing, amazing webinar. We have even people getting employed after this webinar. By the way, I will show you a story if you join them and lets completely free how to stack massive amounts of SATs in this bull market. And we’re going to give you important, important tools to do that without any risks. Because, look, it’s not about like investing in some kind of shade, the old and the hopital 100x. So go and sign up right now in the link below on YouTube or here on Amazon.com. Slash life. What about what do you think about implementing signing with hive or anything blockchain related? Maybe man made mint in the bezel. How big it is. And ideally, ideally for now we are not that interested. For now, at least for now, at is because we have other priorities we need to make like crypto superjet work and all of that. But maybe then we’ll do it. It’s like it’s also things that Doug that. Man, if you’re watching from DuckDuckGo, I’m sorry, we still haven’t had time to fix. But I know there’s this guy using Dat Dat Go browser on mobile and apparently we have some bugs there. I didn’t even know they have a browser. So we need to we need to check it. Check it. Keep up the good work. Happy finally moved out of YouTube. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. John. Thanks so much. Emojis. Well, immodest work, but you have to put it in yourself. So let me see. helderman man on Windows Fentiman. No. Where’s oh, here’s emoji. So if I put the heart light like you just have to do it yourself IMO. Just work is just that. Oh, I have my Tesla account here. Look, it will just work. But yeah, maybe we should we should add that when you do like this and you do a module like this, that it will also be automatically converted into an emoji. But they work you if you just put in them. Well, guess what is this, huh? I see you guys posting this. Is it the face or what? Many, many of your this I have no clue what it is. It’s like we’re going down in price. Is that like the price indicator? Because we are going down right now. I’m using Doug. Doug, go on. Mobile seems good, but fibers can be overwhelming. Yemen, especially when many fireworks. That’s that’s where they work. I think you should start fireworks. That’s true. That’s true. Maybe we should. Otherwise, it’s gonna be overwhelming quickly. That’s actually true. I think we’ll do it. We’ll do it. Fireworks, because, man, I love fireworks. It’s amazing. I sense since that we had the idea to create our own super chat. I always had this idea of fireworks that we need to do something amazing. Is a Darth Vader face, I think. No overlapping fireworks. Yeah. That is gone. If like five people at the same time, the fireworks are going to be too big for some machines. I’m just here for fireworks to spam. It’s an Eskimo, Jim. You’re not old enough to know what I’ve. Ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see them. I see that it’s a Moja, but yes, maybe I’m not too old enough. Let’s do supercharged fireworks stress test. You could if you could. It’s like you can also do it locally, by the way, if you know a bit of development. You can open up your console and you can do it locally. When Selim’s to clean it up. But where’s the console here? Oh, it’s called the confetti. Confetti superjet confetti like you see, you can execute this function locally. See, I can just I can just spam my machine to death like this if I just do all of this functions. Oh, man. Mama, I hope my. I just need to refresh. Yeah. So you can spam that function in the console if you want. But we. Yeah. You see. Yeah. Well we will. We will make the code. Oh but what it’s called we will obfuscated. We have too many people looking on the code to obfuscate. Ivan I love to be part of this community. I’m sixty two year old. Nice man. Nice man. Boomer and the one percent convinced you’re doing the right thing. Thanks, man. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Global citizen. I appreciate you a lot. Thanks so much. Hacker watch out. Exactly. You. We’ll get it. Like I had Amadeu saying, we need to do cleaner CSF yesterday. Man, dont look up the code. But it’s good that you guys look because it gets better is get better where you guys can find things that we can do better. I’m jealous of my hair. Well, look at it. It’s an age thing soon. I’m gonna be without hair aswell. Fireworks. Did those possible. No, no, it’s not possible. It’s not possible. No, it’s not. You can only do it locally, like for yourself. You can do this fireworks. But if you want other people to get fireworks, it’s nice. That isn’t going to work. Mushin side. Mushin back. Back. Dee Dee. Density. Top respect. OK. Zoom securites. I didn’t want to say anything. I dont want to solve crypto like a global citizen. Good on you. All we can. All we can do is try to make a difference. Exactly. Exactly. Okay, guys. Yes. It’s 59 minutes, Snaith. You’re correct. You’re correct. Let’s end before an hour. Let’s end it because I don’t want the time on YouTube. Seem too long because people click less. So, guys, thank you so much for being here yet again.

$2.3 TRILLION BAILOUT!! BUY BITCOIN!!! Hyperinflation – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome guys. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton and here on Although I Will Not Take we are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central B and finally, as I come to like an atomic clock each and every day. Today we will be discussing the corporate Marxism of the current financial system. We do have the Fed yesterday committing 2.3 freshly printed dollars, freshly printed fiat to buy debt, corporate debt and also to buy junk bonds. Can you imagine? They’re not even checking now? They’re not even checking. I know that Ford was downgraded. Their bonds were downgraded just a few weeks ago. And obviously the Fed had to react. So now they also said they weren’t even going to buy downgraded bonds. It’s okay with that. But you will learn all about that in this episode because look what we’re witnessing right now. This has never happened. The Fed is all in. The Fed is merging with the Treasury. You know, normally you have the Fed being here, the government being here. They’re separate. They’re completely separate. And they should be separate because the politicians will always want to mess with money. They always want to create new money because they can fund all kinds of projects and get more votes. So the whole idea, of course, is that Fed should be independent from the government, but that is not truly what’s happening right now. They are merging and they will tell you exactly how it’s happening and how is going on in this episode. And also, it’s important to discuss the fact that you are being robbed. You and I are being robbed. That is the only way to put it, because you understand that you maybe get like $1000, you get some deferred tax payments. I see you already as superjet as super chattel raising guys. That’s amazing. I evangelist’s. Adam, thank you so much. Amazing. Still waiting for the leader. Not not really sure what you mean, but thank you so much for the nation. And let me know if it works on mobile. If you do the mobile on desktop. I was going to be number one. Number two, we’re going to discuss oil. You know that now we have an agreement that this cartel will cut production opaque. And Russia. They will cut the production. And obviously, this all affects Bitcoin identity. This all affects Bitcoin. We have the hovering right around the corner, right around the corner. And we’re going to discuss that as well. So, guys, all welcome. How are you doing? I see the chart rolling. We are, of course, light streaming only and exclusively on. I want to dot com slash live. Welcome, everyone. I cbf you. I see the huddle. I see crypto mico. Crypto Vader danièle race vest. Armstrong done. That guy’s amazing. Let me know what you arching him from right now at this very moment in time where you are watching this from another another another supercut from evangelist Ivan someone’s someone sullies group to hear about the evangelist movement. I’m here to keep your seat warm. Nice, nice. My nice little solace group. That was our helicopter money yesterday. So today we have evangel is being helicopter money. Guess you’d like the Fed sometimes. Who is going to be the Fed? Today’s the question with helicopter money in the chat. And look, look, today we’re drinking black coffee. No milk, no sugar. No sugar involved. And looking at the markets, you will see something very significant today. I can assure you of that. But before we go into that, this was hilarious. Strub saying, I flatten the death curve, but look, he put it in the wrong way. Somebody made this joke. Mr. President, you’re holding sideways because the US that, you know, is at an all time high. And by design, it is like that. By design is going to be like that. So don’t even expect this to change. This is growing exponentially. And if you know how the current fractional reserve banking works, how the current system works, how governments have outsourced money creation to the central bank, to the private banks, but also now the Fed is coming in printing like crazy. The whole economy is based on that. And the only way forward is have more debt. And we’re going to have a whole episode on this topic. Why? This is going to continue. And there is no way to get that down to make it stop. There is no way. So is just by definition how this economy works. This will just keep growing. The debt will keep growing. It will not go down. It’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. And Young said that this exponential move will become more and more dramatic. It is truly exponential. I mean, you look at this, this is basically how bitcoin grew in price during the past 10 years, completely exponential. Nine million percent we saw in Bitcoin price growth. Well, you see the same kind of development in national debt in the in the United States. And this is by design, guys, in order to make the economy work, we need more debt and there’s only going to continue. So don’t even expect it. Some people are like, hey, I didn’t expect this to grow. Why is this so big? Don’t even expect against have your expectations straight. This thing will just continue to grow. And they don’t get the surprise that it’s just by design like it it’s always gonna be like that, but it’s not sustainable. That is the thing. It’s not sustainable until we see some kind of reset in the system. Now, we are at 24 trillion right now and we have another super chart from Michael Valérie. Good morning from Amsterdam with T. Good morning to Amsterdam. Thank you so much. So we are at 24 trillion in national debt in the U.S. This is just going to continue. We’re going to be at the third to truly and very soon. And then at 60 and then at the hundred. And then the two hundred you see exponential. So expect it just expected. So looking at the markets, well, the following situation in Bitcoin and in the crypto space. Let me actually just put you in the top market cap like so worth bitcoin at minus 5 percent almost. So quite a brutal downfall, to be honest with you. We did not really establish ourselves firmly above seven cape. We have them at minus 5 percent. We have X-ART, P.F. minus 3 percent. So we have a lot of fear. And just like we discussed in the chad before we went live, which you’re going to see now, is people of bipolarity changing. Their bipolarity is changing very quickly in crypto. Now everyone’s going to say we’re going to go to Touquet. Now everyone’s going to say, we’re going to go to 3K. Just remember it. And this is kind of the thing you got to realize. We are bipolar. We’re bipolar. Hearings always gonna be like that. Nicole, what do you think about the Atlantis report on YouTube? I haven’t checked it. I will check it. Atlantis report. And thank you so much for the superjet and fireworks. You always make Friday a bit better with fireworks, guys. So we see a downfall in the top-10, especially a C minus 10 percent. I mean, obviously with B ASV, we have the Halling coming up soon. And you know how the halving went from Bitcoin cash? Not very well. I mean, it was very boring. Nothing really happened in terms in terms of price. It just collapsed and miners obviously stopped mining. So we did see a difficulty decrease. And now it’s just less security on the Bitcoin cash network. So BSEE is going to have the same basically today. I think it should be like in a few days, like if, you know, exact date, but it’s very, very soon. Looking at the big winners, we have waves, Dash Haddara, not a lot of winners today, only waves basically. And losers are in there was synthetic SK1. But look, the reason why many people are asking we have seen PSV, we’ve seen before encash. We’ve seen light. So why is Bitcoin having different? Why are people more excited about Bitcoin is humming? Well, because Bitcoin is more of a global phenomenon. It’s more of a global phenomenon. You see Bitcoin being used, for example, in third world countries. We’ve talked about how the Latin American economy in terms of local bitcoin is being all around Venu. Salah is being centred all around the you sell the Gore-Bush that episode if you don’t know what I’m talking about. We see the same thing in Africa. We see that in Asia, people using a lot of Kryptos well, in order to avoid restrictions in banking. And they are obviously using bitcoin. They’re using deathers because. Untether another one from Niccol. I love you. I love you, man, too. I love you, man. So this is more of a global thing. So when something like Holly happens, we do see. The supply and demand play out in the real economy way more, way more with big cash and BSP. Bitcoin cash NBA savvy. And by the way, when I say big cash, I don’t mean to mock it. Just like saying cash more. So we look at big cash NBC. It’s mostly internally to their to their tribe. That’s where most of the trading happens. The same with Lt.-Col. Like gold is a bit, by the way, more global as well. Bitcoin, cash and BSE. But what is the conclusion? The conclusion is that when the supply new newly produced supply in bitcoin cash or BSEE drops by 50 percent, you don’t really see a lot of demand. The demand is basically doesn’t even Karokhail. It’s less supply. We’re not going to trade us as much. I mean, are people going to say that? No, they’re not going to say that because it’s only used within their community for changing. A bit of speculation is still being used that somebody really needs somewhere in the world. So that’s the biggest difference between the hoardings of or Lt.-Col and Bitcoin cash. BWV and Bitcoin, because bitcoin, you do have more of a global effect. There is an inherent demand for biscuit and that is why that is why stop the flow model only works with bitcoin because stock to flow model describes the relationship between new supply and the demand and how it’s gonna affect everything. So please keep it in mind. Another one from Solit group Duyen waiting for a new stealth bomber. munya. I’ll buy bitcoin under 6.6 gate. This is the time to DCA when we have a bit of a pullback. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, yes. Remember that we do have our webinar completely free webinar on April the twenty ninth where we’re going to discuss how to stack massive, absolutely massive amounts of SATs in this bull market. That is coming up. And it’s completely free. You gotta check it out if you’re not in that category and if you haven’t been in this webinar before, completely free of nothing to lose. So just click the link below and sign up right now. And we do have our collaboration with BioBlitz and Femke. So if are trading, you want to trade with leverage. Go to a link below. You see best kripp deals. Click there. As always, Pemex man. Why are they loading so slowly? Always. Here they are on Fenwick’s. You basically can do bitcoin a theorem you SRP link dess light on and gold. You can also have gold here and buy, but it��s only bitcoin sitroom. ios6. But the good thing with by bit. I personally prefer byb it a bit more because they have more liquid asset. I mean the way more people are using it, it’s a way more mature platform, so to speak. So go and check out them in the description, but be very careful. Be extremely careful. More fireworks, guys. More more fireworks in the chat. You are on fire today. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Thank you, Harold. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Now, you know that it’s Friday and they told you that I would explain to you why. It’s amazing to have a Friday, but why you should not be overly excited about Friday aswell, because people who are overly excited about Friday, I sometimes feel that they don’t like what they’re doing during the week. So this is kind of the piece of knowledge I want to give to you today. Before we get into the corporate Marxism is that this case is Friday. But if you hate if you hate Mondays, you hate weekdays. You have to switch careers. Yes, you have to reconsider. So that is why, by the way, you should go and join the webinar, if you like, fried this too much. This is for you. Now, of course, if you have something you like, you work with something you like. You just want to spend more time with your family during the weekend. And that’s why you’re excited for Fridays. Completely fine. But if you feel that man, finally, I don’t have to go to work, then you really have to reconsider what you’re doing in life. And then, of course, Krypto full time is very important. And you gotta to learn how to stack sets. So go to the webinar first and foremost. Smart money is buying, guys, as you can see. We do have accumulation in terms of whales. Number of whales with and with an account with over 1000 1000. Bitcoin is increasing right now. This is looking a glass node on chain fundamentals and we’re seeing this accumulation in these accounts. They are going up. You know that we cans are selling. Retail is selling while wealth are accumulating because we know that the hubbing is just right around the corner. Now, accumulation always happens before the hoving, as we’ve seen in the past as well. Whales are accumulating. Weekends are not really accumulating because they don’t know what will happen. They’re a bit scared. They’re a bit uncertain what’s going to happen. Everyone is uncertain. But at least you’re gonna have some kind of vision for the future. Some kind of your internal belief, which you things are going to happen to Bitcoin long term. And obviously, if you are a whale, you do have that understanding and you accumulate during this time. So look at what the smart money is doing. And obviously, when we saw bitcoin completely wild. That is when Wells also started to selling off their stock and started to sell off here mostly, mostly before we reached like the crazy peak because you know that it’s impossible to time of the peak for you. It’s impossible to know exactly where the peak is. So smart manual’s taking profits. Those times as well. And now since basically 2009, in January, we’ve seen trend in accumulation. So keep it in mind. Look, we are living in very, very strange times. We’re living in very strange times because now is when you see America really showing how it works and when people say that America is the sign of capitalism failing. What they don’t understand is that it’s not capitalism, to be honest. It’s not capitalism in good times. We are religious capitalists. But if something goes wrong, we don’t mind socialism. But the socialism is not for you and me. It’s not for the middle class. It’s not for people who actually who actually need it. That is key to understand. It is for corporations. It is when the Fed is producing new money. It is when the Fed is going completely All-In like they’re doing right now with their operations. And this is something you can not ignore. Guys, there’s something we cannot ignore because you’re being you’re being robbed. Hey, man. Sebastian, thank you so much. Testing Super Shuttle Mobile. I hope it works. I hope it worked fine. So what do you make out of this? The following. The following. They will try to make people happy nonetheless. They will try to make it so that you and I don’t revolt. So we’re seeing right now, for example, Trump coming out and considering canceling student debt, because obviously everyone is looking at what’s going on with the corporate side. And obviously, you don’t want to see only corporations getting all of this free money. So let’s play this clip and then we’ll continue the discussion. Let me know if the sound works. Let me know if the sound works. Today, the Department of Education is also announcing the availability of more than 6 billion dollars in emergency grant funding to assist college students impacted by the cancellation of classes and the suspension of housing. A lot of people had a lot of things suspended. Housing is one of them. Previously, we waive student loan payments for six months. So student loan payments have been waived for six months and we’ll discuss it after that may go further. Look, they are together talk about maybe we’re gonna cancel your student, that may be maybe, maybe, maybe. Personally, I think that in this new times we’re living in. It could happen, but that would actually surprise me. It would surprise me if student debt got canceled. It would be in many cases a good thing from many perspective. A good thing, because, hey, if we’re still doing the socialism thing, if we’re already started, why not help? Also, young people look is better to help them as well. There are many arguments for that. They they they can start working from. From a position in which they have no debt. They can just start their lives without being slaves from day one. That is why you could make that argument in another country. Argument could be that what if somebody just paid off their debt and now they’re cancelling everyone’s student debt? You are basically rewarding the people who did not pay it back. And now if you just paid it back, you mentioned how you would feel if you just paid everything back and now suddenly it’s all canceled and you didn’t have to pay it. If you just waited a few more weeks. So obviously, it’s not an easy question, but I think the most important effect of this is to calm down everyone, to calm down everyone who is seeing the printer go wild right now and seeing the Fed go wild. It’s to say, hey, guys. You will also get a bit of that freshly printed fiat. Maybe. Maybe we’ll consider it for now. You just we just defer your payments, but maybe, maybe, maybe we’ll consider it because that would be a big thing. I mean, this would be a big thing for the average job. No question about that. I would be surprised if it actually happens. Let’s see. It’s not impossible. But the way the system works is not is not for students. I mean, it’s not for the for the middle class. And it’s not for anyone who has some kind of personal debt. I really, really doubt it will happen. But we’ll see. Nico, I’m father of three new babies to pay to pay for our failure. How how do you mean? I’m not really sure what you mean, but if you mean that they’re going to take care of you, then it may be a good strategy. We’re going back to the old days, by the way. Many people might be thinking in those old ways that, hey, we’re going to have kids to actually take care of us if you, of course, have financial difficulties. Now, what’s important to note is the numbers here. Now, we’ve mentioned that even the average Joe gets a bit of hope from the administration. They get a bit of hope. So they are calm. They don’t really do something crazy. They don’t protest too much. Maybe counselors tell them that. Now we’re seeing what’s happening with the Fed, the 2.3 trillion dollar now being printed to buy junk bonds. You’ll see Lynly. But saying. Exactly. Exactly. You’re like the mining or guys today. Amazing. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. So they are expanding their program with 2.3 freshly freshly printed theat in programs aimed at helping businesses and state local governments. So that’s what’s gonna happen. That announcement sparked a jump in stocks, a drop in the dollar because it’s getting devalued by the moment, guys. If you’re sitting in the dollar, reconsider. I mean, I would ask you to consider not financial advice, but I’m reconsidering that because too many people now become super bullish on the dollar. They think that this flight to safety will continue because the dollar has been performing quite well during the past months. We’ve seen a sell off in all kinds of assets. Where are they going? I mean, where is the value going to the dollar? But at the end of the day, everyone has already sold everything. That’s what’s going to happen. And then you sit there with your dollars. What do you do? Guess what do do you? As soon as possible want to buy a real asset that produces monthly cash flow. The last thing you want to do is sit and dollars long term. Yes, there are a lot of deflationary deflationary movements right now, such as a lot of debt being denominated in U.S. dollars and everyone needs dollars to pay back their debt or pay for their margin calls or to close their other obligations that are also denominated in dollars. But at the end of the day, you will be sitting there with dollars and what will you do? You will get very worried. You will get an easy because they are just printing another one from solid crypto. They are smart. They give the normal people this bits creating more and even this. Now the middle class is fighting each other for food and helicopter money. Divide and conquer. Soon. Soon, soon. The art of war must through this. I’ve read it, and you’re completely correct. That’s what’s going on right now. You’re completely correct. So keep this in mind now. The most important thing that’s going on right now is the fight that they’re going to buy junk bonds. They’re going to buy junk bonds. This has never happened before at this scale. So it would appear this Fed is aware that the economy is in dire straits, particularly with the small companies, and they are likely to take highly unusual steps, some unprecedented steps to see if they can loosen up that sector. So that’s what’s happening. They are all in. The Fed is really doing everything they can. They are gonna commit to this. The have already committed. And look, as part of the announcement, the Fed expanded its corporate lending programs to take it into a new area, including. CFS of companies that are rated below investment grade, basically junk junk bonds. Guys, why are they doing that? This is a very important thing to understand. Why is it so that the Fed Golson buys these bonds? Well, mainly to keep up the prices of the bonds, of course, because if you have the bond prices falling, corporate debt prices falling. It means that if you are a corporation and you are struggling and you want to release a new bond, because that is how you get finance, you release a bond that is debts that other people buy and they give you money for that bond and then you pay them interest and then you pay back that debt with time. But you understand that if the demand for the bonds on the market is zero, nobody’s buying bonds. Everyone is scared. That is what’s happening right now. Everyone’s scared. Nobody’s buying bonds. It means that for you to even be able to even be able to finance yourself to taking new money into your corporation through issuing bonds, it means that you have to increase the interest rate because there is no demand for any bonds. So the only way to maybe have someone buy your bond is to have a high interest rate. So that is the thing. The Fed comes in and says, hey, we will buy your bond. Don’t worry. We will buy your bond so that the corporations can take in more debt. They are able to sell their bonds, because when the Fed is doing this, it means that other banks and other investment banks and other institutions are also feeling a bit more comfortable to buy this debt from corporations to to to give corporations money, take their bonds, because they know that in the worst case, they can sell it to the Fed. They know it’s a market for this for these bonds, even junk bonds. Now there is a market because the Fed will buy them at the end of the day. So that is important. That is the most important thing to understand, because when you read this that the Fed is now buying corporate debt, corporate bonds. You don’t understand what’s going on. But if you know, that is because they want to keep up the market for bonds going so that these corporations can issue bonds and they know that somebody is going to buy them, they don’t have to have to crazy interest rate. That is what’s happening. And that is what they’re trying to do now to tell the bond market, hey, be active, be. Be calm down. Be confident in this bond market, because I doubt they were going to buy everything. Otherwise, if they didn’t do that, the the bonds would go down and nobody would buy them. And you s-corporation, you can not take in more debt. You can’t have crazy interest rates. And even when you do, people might not want to buy them. Now we have a donation from Zero Joy. Ivan, thanks for your content. Crazy economy. Will this super shot have the option to pay encrypted regards from Switzerland? Yes, crypto is coming. We’re going to start with ethe because it’s fast transaction and everyone has EIF and then maybe we’ll add the lightning because look, we’re not going to have bitcoin and wait for a six six confirmations. Maybe we’ll have we can have a 0 confirmation payment or something, but we can start with EEF because it’s so easy man. It’s so easy like this is gonna be a bit more difficult but if is very easy. So you can also understand that when we see this, we become addicted because now the whole market is functioning around the fact that the Fed will buy anything, they will buy anything. And that is how the market is structured. Mukul, please check the Atlantis report. Maybe you can find on why YouTube didn’t ban them. I will check them out. You guys recommended. I will check them out. Thank you so much, Nico, for donation. So what’s important here is that we’ve become addicted now that you see the whole bond market relying on the Fed. They’re basically telling Hape we’re confident because the Fed this year imagine now the Fed pulling out. How the confidence will disappear. So the Fed cannot pull out. I mean, they are in this. They are all in. They have committed. Once the Fed enters a market like the bond market, like they’ve done right now, buying even junk bonds they have committed. There is no way for them to go back, because if they go back, the whole confidence in that market collapses even more to even lower levels compared to when the Fed entered. And when corporate debt market collapses, no corporation will be able to get funding from bonds because nobody will buy them. Nobody will actually give them money. So you see that we are this addicts. The whole economy is addicted. That is why also is connected to this situation with exponential debt. You need just to have more debt once you have a bit of debt, like the only way forward is more. And we’re gonna have a whole episode where I explain how it works, exactly why you should not even expect it to go down or sideways. It will never do, guys. The national debt, it will just continue going up in an exponential rate now is not sustainable. This is like we will see how much it continues, but I don’t know how much. Maybe two hundred trillion, maybe to 500 trillion. We’re gonna be there soon because it’s exponential. Our brains can not comprehend exponential developments a lot because you see, just a few years ago, we were somewhere here on this chart and then we completely exploded. Now to hear it, look, it’s just gonna be exponential. So we are addicted and it’s just going to continue like this. What’s important as well is that we need to be looking at the dates. So you see, for example. We have this 2.3 trillion loan bailout program that the Fed announced recently. Yesterday they really started with this. They really started looking on this in March and you know that on March 24th for it was downgraded because obviously nobody is buying cars in the crisis. Nobody is really investing in that. So the bonds, the corporate debt of Ford was downgraded for this, obviously very important for the U.S. economy. No question about that. For employment. So now the Fed basically had to readjust their strategy and say, hey, we’re even gonna go and buy the debt or off of companies that are below investment grade such as Ford. So it’s important. It’s important. And that is exactly what’s going wrong. And look, they got that mess with the rules a lot. That is what they have done. This is what Jerome Powell said. They had the Fed in it recently when he announced this whole situation with two point three trillion. These programs that we are using under the law. We do this, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of treasury secretary and the fiscal of backing from the Congress through the Treasury. So here is where we start talking about the fact that they are emerging. The Fed and the Treasury are merging. They are bending the rules. They’re bending the reality of how this whole system was set out to be the relationship and the polarity of the Fed. And the government is now breaking down and they are merging their view. Thank you so much. By bit leverage 106 for life. Thank you so much. V a few a an H. I really appreciate you. So this is very big because now the the Treasury is in tandem. They’re working in tandem with the Fed. And if you read the quote further, you see that we’re doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. We are directed by Congress. We are using the fiscal backdrop to absorb annual losses we have. So we have monetary and fiscal policy now in full in full speed, in full effect. And you know that monetary policy is already exhausted because how much lower can you do interest rates? You can still do a lot with fiscal, but that requires political will and political support. Our ability is limited by law. By the law. Look, you said that it’s limited. It’s limited, but they are moving forward. We have to find unusual and exigent circumstances. And the treasury secretary has to agree. And we’re using this fiscal backdrop. So, look, they are limited by the law, but they will still find ways through working with the government, through working with the administration. Any thoughts on how this will affect deferred development? Says said that we’ll get less discussed if I then say I will bring it up, but then deferred development. But good question. We will, of course, talk about this at them. And it has a lot to do because the only way forward for the Fed is either to print more money. They will do that. They could even lower interest rates a bit more. They could still do some some monetary policy. Obviously, when you have negative interest rates, you also have to decide the banks will have to decide either to implement it in savings accounts. So, for example, in Europe, in the E.U., if you have a corporate account in the bank and you have euros, you have euros, you will lose money every month, you will lose minus 0.4 percent or zero point zero. For something like that, you’re going to lose. OK. I think it 0.4 percent. But these days of interest rate, your money in the bank, they take they take a bit. I’ve experienced this. I’ve had money, corporate money with our corporation. We had it in a bank account. We had euros each and every month. We were paying negative interest rate. Now it’s not like that. If you have a personal account and this is not an all in all banks, some banks don’t don’t have this because the banks decide it’s not an all banks. But if this continues, you understand that the Fed, the only thing they will be able to do is to decrease interest rates and then literally force people to spend their money. You have your money in the bank. It disappears. You literally have to go and run and buy something as soon as possible, especially with digital fiat. So here’s where it becomes scary, because digital fiat will be pushed down your throat. It will be like that. You will be forced to accept it. Why is it so? Because they can have monetary instant policy like never before. Right now it’s up to the banks. The banks decide, OK. We should have negative interest rates in the accounts or not. So as I told you, our bank had negative interest rates for corporate accounts, for private accounts. They did not. Some other banks don’t even have that for corporate accounts. Now, the Fed obviously wants more economic activity. They want digital cash so they can enforce this negative interest rates. By themselves, without going through the private banks and checking with them by themselves, everyone will have a minus. For example, 1 percent in in the interest rate. Whatever money you have in your wallet, it will evaporate. You’re forced to spend it as soon as possible. Now here’s where Defi comes in. For example, when you look at old stable coins like Teather, you did see. You look at you as D.S. you look at all of the essentially stable coins. You know that they have dollars in their bank account. That’s how they work. They bag their stable coins with dollars. Imagine their bank account in the near future having negative interest rate, which might happen. Look at how it might happen that they will have negative interest rates in their bank account, just like we had in our corporate bank accounting in Sweden. So it means that they need to produce somehow. Teather now needs to produce positive cash flow in order to even be able to keep their reserve of dollars because they’re losing each and every month, each and every day they’re losing a bit. So this means that if you look at Defi coming back to a question about DFI, when you look at DI, for example, DI is also pegged to the dollar. That is also pegged to the dollar. But it’s not being backed by a bank account that disappears evaporates. It’s backed by an algorithm. So here’s where DI will really outperform all other stable funds because all other stable course is basically a gamble. They need to risk the money to get positive cash flow to be able to even have reserves as they are without losing. All right. But with DI, you don’t have that. Is it just supply and demand of for eith and diet loans alone mechanics? CGP collateralised debt position. So here is where you truly will see defi shining if negative interest rates become big. And this is something that many people don’t talk about, but it’s one of the most important aspects of die of maker. They will be the only stable coin that is actually that is actually stable to the dollar. And they don’t have to gamble with your funds to to try to get cash because they don’t even have your funds. I mean, just an algorithm. Nobody has your funds, just an algorithm that keeps it that one dollar with supply and demand. Look, leaving this topic, how do you summarize it? Man, it’s a lot. It’s a lot. A lot, a lot. How do you summarize this topic? Number one, if you have Fiat. Don’t be too comfortable, guys. Don’t be too comfortable. Yes. Asset prices have been falling. But but but then over there, you know that it’s just a printer at the end of the day. So think about the fact that it’s it’s inflated like crazy. What happens when this money actually enters the economy? What will happen to consumer prices if these trillions enter the economy? They’re still stuck only in the financial assets. But what will happen if this money suddenly enters the real economy? What will happen to consumer prices? Think about that. Think about that. There’s always a deflation before hyperinflation. All hyperinflation is are followed are preceded by deflation. That’s very important. Think about the fact that when you hear somebody saying the students will be cancelled, haven’t mind that. Of course, this would be amazing if they got cancelled. But don’t be too optimistic because it mostly is just to calm people down and look at everything that is going on in the financial sector. Don’t expect the the debt to fall. It will never fall. It will increase exponentially. It is by design is how it’s supposed to be is by design. It’s not sustainable long term. And the bottom line, we have corporate Marxism. We have corporations getting free money. We don’t have capitalism in the US right now. We have Marxism, corporate Marxism. So whenever people say that capitalism has failed, you have to explain to them this is not at all a free market where a centrally planned where central planning. Right now we’re allocating resources based on how a few guys think they should be allocated. We’re creating all of this money out of thin air, basically redistributing wealth according to decisions made by by a few six year olds or 70 year olds like, look, they cannot compete with a. You cannot compare it with the power of computers and power of analyzing big data. Like you can not have a few dudes doing all of these decisions. This will get me really mad. Gates I’m sorry, but I think you got to have more of an algorithmic approach to money. People have screwed out, stripped out of screwed up this several times through history. No Fiat survives. No Fiat is here for more than a few decades. The only one that has survived for a very long time is basically the British pound. And so you’ve got to realize they will always screw up. And now we basically have essentially planned economy where if you guys decide exactly where the money will go, who will receive it, who will not receive it. This is what the the guys with the mustache and the beard do, you know, like DeMoro. Engle’s what they’ve been dreaming about. But but this perverted idea that you give it to the corporations. I mean, at least they thought that they would give it to workers or something, you know, would give it to the workers. But now we have corporate marches. I mean, imagine Marx hearing this anyway. You get my point. You get my point. This is this is terrible. A few. Thanks for explaining the basics of finances. Even the most in this chart do understand. Thanks. Thanks to even though most of the do understand. Yeah, I think you guys understand a little it that. That’s amazing. Solid. Thank you so much again. I started development of tdap with star developer from my time. Nice. We were building my bank, Midland Bank, a place where people can store their fiat seemless in. Amazing. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I will check. I will check. Soll. Thanks so much for the Nazy. Thank you so much for the nation. Or I guess moving on. We have some news from Kryptos. Com You know that we are working with crypto dot com. And if you go to Ivan on tech dot com slash deals, I will tell you. Com slash deals, you will find a link to crypto dot com. And if you sign up using this link right here on Amazon, the concierge deals, you get dollars and I get fifty dollars. So we’re both profits from that. But what’s important is that now they’re integrated with Ledger. So if you buy your ledgers with crypto com app, you get 10 percent cash back. So that’s big. And also they are adding all kinds of brands also with 10 percent, the cash cashback. They have Costco, Whole Foods, Kroger, Woolworths carry 4. I look like American brands. I don’t even know what this is, but I guess it’s big. Let me know if this thing is big. Fair price. Shane Qiong E Mart Metro. Yeah. We don’t have this in Sweden. I know Costco and Full Wholefoods here I’ve been when I’m in the US, I’ve been here. Here I haven’t been a door dash. I’ve used that Instacart use that these guys haven’t used. But it seems that these guys are big quarter for it. No it’s not. The US is Frej. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. I was in France a long time ago, but I’ve been in Monaco a few times since then. But it’s kinda France. Kinda not. I didn’t see Corey for there. How do you say it? I am probably butchering the name, but anyway. And finally, some important news from Polonia Pro Polonia to know. These guys are now being controlled by Justin. And now they are jumping on the IEO train a bit late. I mean, a bit late, according to me, because I’m are not a big thing right now, but there you go. They have a lounge bass right now launching and. Yeah, let’s see what kind of things they do. But I mean, honestly, for Io’s to really be interesting in one way or another. You need to have a new bull market. I mean, right now, nobody is gonna care about Io’s, but they are working to increase the utility of Tron ya x because the only way you can be able to participate is through this TR X coin. So there you go, guys. Let’s see. Let’s see. For me, it’s always interesting to see like what the exchanges are doing and what kind of plans they have. And Justin san. He’s buying everything. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out like the like this timeat fiasco because it is a fiasco. Can I say anything against that? Look, we have basically a split in the community community completely taking the matter into their own hands, into their own hands and and disregarding and disregarding them. This takeover. But let’s see how Polonia X performs. If they can. If they can manage to do something out of this, but the jury is in the next bull market, I don’t think it will be a big thing right now in in this current times, because people are not really, really interested in ideals right now. Will change, will probably change. We’re going to see whether it’s going to be IYO a system or something else. But there will always be appetite for Alz. I mean, always in a bull market. Always, always, always. Trump can still pump in the hype. It’s too cheap. How do you mean it’s cheap, though? Please don’t say you look at the price per coin because too many people do that. And I always have to explain it. So when you look at price per coin, it is one cent. But guys, please, why are you looking at price per coin? Because I guess that’s what you’re looking at. When you say it’s chip, it has a market cap of eight hundred forty two million like a close to Cardinal Baseball. Kodama has Monaro look at market cap. This is this is the price of an eight hundred million. This doesn’t matter of price per coin does not matter. But it’s an example of why you need to have a big supply base. You need to have a big supply in your Quinn. And I know my friends and I would joke that if Satoshi created bitcoin and he gave it instead of twenty one million cap, he gave it a cap of one point 2.1 billion. So instead of twenty one million you have just for simplicity’s sake, let’s say you did twenty one billion. Thank you so much Steve. Can I pay supercharged with crypto buyer SPDC. Look, we’re going to start with ethe man. Well you can add all of the old coins later. We’re going to start with EIF or Teq, so we’re gonna do ethe first. But thank you for the nation state. So look, if Satoshi did 20 1 billion and not twenty one million coins, it would mean that the price of bitcoin currently would be just six point nine dollars. Because you know that twenty one billion is a thousand times twenty one million. So the price would be a thousand times less. It would be 6.9 and we would have the same market cap. So if that would be the case, people would not find bitcoin expensive and we would maybe not have all of the old guys because people would think that bitcoin is cheap as well. Just six dollar coin. Can you elaborate on BEHKISH hubbing and why it is dropping BTC champ thing for the nation? Well, let’s let me elaborate. The thing is, when we’re looking at the harvest, the only reason why we’re seeing Bitcoin jump up in price with an order of magnitude so that, you know, before the previous hubbing we had the price in terms of a hundreds, like few hundreds. Now we’re talking thousands. After next halving, we’re gonna talk about tens of thousands. We’ve already been at 20K. But what I’m talking about is more that we’re going to be a 50, 60, 70 probably. I don’t know. I don’t know. But no financial advice, as always. No financial advice. But this is how I see it, that the price will develop and it will jump in. Orders of magnitude. Why is it happening? Well, because we are having the new freshly produced coins each and every four, four years, which is which is a similar a similar development. But in the other direction. I mean, your having you basically, you know, when you take times to all the time, you have this exponential development when you’re halving. You have exponential but inverted. So you have you have this exponential city that is just decreasing, decreasing and decreasing. So what I want to say by that, I want to say that if you have an economy such as Bitcoin that is global, it’s global, guys. There is demand in all kinds of countries, whether it is for the fact that people want to be sure that their funds are not confiscated. If you live in a dictatorship, for example, and you are wealthy, you might want to have a bit of bitcoin because, look, you might not have rule of law. And if the guy in charge does not like you, he might take your property. So will you go into Bitcoin cash in that case or really go to Bitcoin? You’ll go to Bitcoin. The same is when you have people struggling with hyperinflation. They go into bitcoin. So there is an inherent demand outside of justice, speculation for bitcoin. So when so when we see a cut in the newly produ produced the bitcoin, the demand is basically the same like its is global. It’s used for all kinds of things. So demand is the same or even increasing because the awareness grows for bitcoin. So there of course you see the newly freshly produced bitcoin supply dropping by too. And then it makes sense that the price would would go up by order of magnitude. Now in bitcoin cash litecoin be ASV, other coins. You don’t have that. You don’t have the global global demand. So did the newly produced supply drops. Nobody even cares. I mean, they’re just trading them on exchanges like they were before. And that’s it. So you understand that. The biggest difference. That is why stocks to flow model is not working with any other coin than Bitcoin that has a halving. And this is very important. This very, very important to understand. So I hope you got it. I hope you got it. The holding. Does it matter if this if the demand is not the same or bigger after the halving for this newly produced coins and in Bitcoin? Usually we’ve seen that that the demand is interstate’s staying the same because then the price will go up. If newly produced supply goes down by 50 percent or if the demand is is going up, then of course this will also go up. Now we have a Lynly saying did you ever look at msorry screener actual volume? So I look at me. Sorry, sometimes. Sometimes. But. You mean that we have a lot of washe raising or what? Because we do have a lot of wussed training. That’s that’s for sure. Yeah. So this one I’ve seen. Yes. Yes, yes. And it’s a big topic like what is the volume of Beskind. What is the. Even the price of bitcoin is a big topic as well. But what exactly do you want me to to see here is just the fact that the market cap is one thing. Liquid market. That is another thing. Yes. Another one I like, by the way, is coin. Market book coin. Market book dot Ceecee, I think. This one is also important, kind of in the same in the same category where you see the true metrics. Let’s see if the site will work. So, yeah, it works because here there’s the rising by support. So this is how much we have in terms of liquidity in the market and how much it will take to drop the price by 5 percent, I think. So let me read this info and buy orders at 10 percent distance from the highest bid price. This is how much you would basically have to dump to drop the price by 10 percent in bitcoin. Pretty much so by support is very important. And you see how quickly it drops in. If it’s just 67 million in this table, can paxos twenty one. But the stable coins. So doesn’t this doesn’t really apply to stable coins SRP because there you have this arbitrage is going to be quickly utilized. If the price of, for example, you as DC drops below a dollar. People gonna buy it instantly. You will see this new demand coming out of nowhere because at the end of day, they are regulated. So there is a good chance that they have their dollars because they are regulated. And so if the price of you as this is below a dollar and you know that they have the backing for one dollar, it’s like free money. It’s not like that with other coins to just table coins that this work works with SRP, just 19, EOS just 18. So yeah, you see that it’s sometimes disc coins. They have very, very thin buy support. If you just scroll down to top 50, even in the top 50, you’ll see below a million. And after top hundred the bi support is literally zero. You can dump and bam with just a little 50k 70k. Yeah. And you know, as soon as you start dumping that by support will probably change. People will pull out their orders because you see the price going down like this, even if you have a buy order setting within the 10 percent of the of the current price. You might remove it. And so and so it might be even faster fall. Ivan. Have you heard read it is going to make a blockchain points system. Interesting. Interesting. I haven’t heard that. Is it going to be on public blockchain or linking the link in the chat? Read the blockchain points. I haven’t actually heard it, but is it going to be like their own private blockchain experiment or not tipping system? Interesting. Is Reddit devising a new tipping system? Interesting. Interesting. Let’s check. I hope it’s on. If help is on it or something, it could be doing there. Okay. All right. Previous, maybe some stellar. All right. It was first run on the trader. Interesting screen recording posted. So what is the what is the thing here? Oh, you have coins, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have coins. Nice rigid coins. I wonder what blushing they’re going to do it on because look, they don’t want to maybe do it on eBay because in the wallet and like pay for transactions, nobody is going to do that. If they’re not encrypt, it’s going to be difficult to convince people. But maybe if they do on iOS then the the users don’t do. I will see. Yes. We’ll see. Yes. It depends on what kind of role they take because the best thing would would would do it on EEF, but it’s not the best from user experience. So if Reddit really takes the role of the educator because it’s very, very expensive and difficult to educate people about new technology and show them here’s your wallet, here’s your private key. You might lose your private key, by the way. And if you lose it, we cannot help you. It’s gonna be very expensive. Their support will explode with tickets. Whereas my Reddit points or I’m trying to use metho mascara on my Nokia ten fifty five from the 80s. Why is my metal mask and my redit points are not working like they’re going to apple. Oh kind of. That’s when you’re introducing new technology. So the question is will they want to deal with it or not or not? Because I think they probably will not want to deal with it. So they will just have, for example, that they hold to everyone’s coins. And if you want to withdraw your coins to our wallet, you can do that. And then it’s up to you to learn everything. But you don’t have to withdraw or or they can just use you or something. So, yeah, I lost my private key and my two or before a I knew it was important. Yeah, private key. We’ve all lost some private game. They changed the transparency laws to have meeting outside of public view. The Fed, the politicians. Nicole, again, amazing, amazing show. Ivan, you are truly you truly understand how to combine the facts of blockchain, old finance and presented in style. Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for the nation.

I think if you did the first course, you should already have a service sent out to you. But I know that you guys want flashlight. So we’re gonna do it. We’re gonna do flash loans. Do use your sample domain building your apps. If not, why? So for now, we’re focusing on. I wanted the com slash live and we’re not building the unstoppable domain yet because we need to build this. Like this is the priority. We need to build the superjet theory on this working already, but we want to continue building it and then we will move on. Do not touch the fireworks, says V, a few. Exactly. Exactly. Man, I hope it’s good that you like them as goosh like you. I don’t see the algo trading course in your academy. I’m not registered yet. Can you give some info about it? You should see it. Why are you not seeing it? You should, of course, see it. It’s. It’s in. Let’s see. Oh, maybe Wood didn’t added to the tracks. We maybe didn’t add it to the tracks, man. Fireworks exploding. Another one doing it for fireworks, John. Nice, nice, nice. I’m addicted to this fireworks, by the way. So let’s see where we are. Maybe we didn’t add this man. Maybe I’m blushing for business. Yeah. I remember it. We forgot to add it in the tracks here. But look, it’s in the academy for sure. It’s in the academy doing it for Johns. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. So let me actually show it to if I am logged in. If I’m not logged, then let’s see it. Let me just quickly show it to Boom-Boom. Oh, my. I just had my Adam on. But anyway, it in the academy. What we teach you is, number one, how to create bots on it, chasing bots. We do it. No one in tracing you, you know, chasing you. They have their scripting that they have. Pine Pines script Superjet is superb. Super. Amazing. So with this shell to do your trading was in trading view and how to do like your own indicators. That’s number one. Number two, with two shots, you create your own bots that run on your server in JavaScript from scratch. You don’t need to know anything.

So go and sign up right now in the link below on YouTube or here on Amazon.com. Slash life. What about what do you think about implementing signing with hive or anything blockchain related? Maybe man made mint in the bezel. How big it is. And ideally, ideally for now we are not that interested. For now, at least for now, at is because we have other priorities we need to make like crypto superjet work and all of that. But maybe then we’ll do it. It’s like it’s also things that Doug that. Man, if you’re watching from DuckDuckGo, I’m sorry, we still haven’t had time to fix. But I know there’s this guy using Dat Dat Go browser on mobile and apparently we have some bugs there. I didn’t even know they have a browser. So we need to we need to check it. Check it. Keep up the good work. Happy finally moved out of YouTube. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. John. Thanks so much. Emojis. Well, immodest work, but you have to put it in yourself. So let me see. helderman man on Windows Fentiman. No. Where’s oh, here’s emoji. So if I put the heart light like you just have to do it yourself IMO. Just work is just that. Oh, I have my Tesla account here. Look, it will just work. But yeah, maybe we should we should add that when you do like this and you do a module like this, that it will also be automatically converted into an emoji. But they work you if you just put in them. Well, guess what is this, huh? I see you guys posting this. Is it the face or what? Many, many of your this I have no clue what it is. It’s like we’re going down in price. Is that like the price indicator? Because we are going down right now. I’m using Doug. Doug, go on. Mobile seems good, but fibers can be overwhelming. Yemen, especially when many fireworks. That’s that’s where they work. I think you should start fireworks. That’s true. That’s true. Maybe we should. Otherwise, it’s gonna be overwhelming quickly. That’s actually true. I think we’ll do it. We’ll do it. Fireworks, because, man, I love fireworks. It’s amazing. I sense since that we had the idea to create our own super chat. I always had this idea of fireworks that we need to do something amazing. Is a Darth Vader face, I think. No overlapping fireworks. Yeah. That is gone. If like five people at the same time, the fireworks are going to be too big for some machines. I’m just here for fireworks to spam. It’s an Eskimo, Jim. You’re not old enough to know what I’ve. Ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see them. I see that it’s a Moja, but yes, maybe I’m not too old enough. Let’s do supercharged fireworks stress test. You could if you could. It’s like you can also do it locally, by the way, if you know a bit of development. You can open up your console and you can do it locally. When Selim’s to clean it up. But where’s the console here? Oh, it’s called the confetti. Confetti superjet confetti like you see, you can execute this function locally. See, I can just I can just spam my machine to death like this if I just do all of this functions. Oh, man. Mama, I hope my. I just need to refresh. Yeah. So you can spam that function in the console if you want. But we. Yeah. You see. Yeah. Well we will. We will make the code. Oh but what it’s called we will obfuscated. We have too many people looking on the code to obfuscate. Ivan I love to be part of this community. I’m sixty two year old. Nice man. Nice man. Boomer and the one percent convinced you’re doing the right thing. Thanks, man. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Global citizen. I appreciate you a lot. Thanks so much. Hacker watch out. Exactly. You. We’ll get it. Like I had Amadeu saying, we need to do cleaner CSF yesterday. Man, dont look up the code. But it’s good that you guys look because it gets better is get better where you guys can find things that we can do better. I’m jealous of my hair. Well, look at it. It’s an age thing soon. I’m gonna be without hair aswell. Fireworks. Did those possible. No, no, it’s not possible. It’s not possible. No, it’s not. You can only do it locally, like for yourself. You can do this fireworks. But if you want other people to get fireworks, it’s nice. That isn’t going to work. Mushin side. Mushin back. Back. Dee Dee. Density. Top respect. OK. Zoom securites. I didn’t want to say anything. I dont want to solve crypto like a global citizen. Good on you. All we can. All we can do is try to make a difference. Exactly. Exactly. Okay, guys. Yes. It’s 59 minutes, Snaith. You’re correct.

$2.3 TRILLION BAILOUT!! BUY BITCOIN!!! Hyperinflation Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Welcome guys. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton and here on Although I Will Not Take we are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central B and finally, as I come to like an atomic clock each and every day. Today we will be discussing the corporate Marxism of the current financial system. We do have the Fed yesterday committing 2.3 freshly printed dollars, freshly printed fiat to buy debt, corporate debt and also to buy junk bonds. Can you imagine? They’re not even checking now? They’re not even checking. I know that Ford was downgraded. Their bonds were downgraded just a few weeks ago. And obviously the Fed had to react. So now they also said they weren’t even going to buy downgraded bonds. It’s okay with that. But you will learn all about that in this episode because look what we’re witnessing right now. This has never happened. The Fed is all in. The Fed is merging with the Treasury. You know, normally you have the Fed being here, the government being here. They’re separate. They’re completely separate. And they should be separate because the politicians will always want to mess with money. They always want to create new money because they can fund all kinds of projects and get more votes. So the whole idea, of course, is that Fed should be independent from the government, but that is not truly what’s happening right now. They are merging and they will tell you exactly how it’s happening and how is going on in this episode. And also, it’s important to discuss the fact that you are being robbed. You and I are being robbed. That is the only way to put it, because you understand that you maybe get like $1000, you get some deferred tax payments. I see you already as superjet as super chattel raising guys. That’s amazing. I evangelist’s. Adam, thank you so much. Amazing. Still waiting for the leader. Not not really sure what you mean, but thank you so much for the nation. And let me know if it works on mobile. If you do the mobile on desktop. I was going to be number one. Number two, we’re going to discuss oil. You know that now we have an agreement that this cartel will cut production opaque. And Russia. They will cut the production. And obviously, this all affects Bitcoin identity. This all affects Bitcoin. We have the hovering right around the corner, right around the corner. And we’re going to discuss that as well. So, guys, all welcome. How are you doing? I see the chart rolling. We are, of course, light streaming only and exclusively on. I want to dot com slash live. Welcome, everyone. I cbf you. I see the huddle. I see crypto mico. Crypto Vader danièle race vest. Armstrong done. That guy’s amazing. Let me know what you arching him from right now at this very moment in time where you are watching this from another another another supercut from evangelist Ivan someone’s someone sullies group to hear about the evangelist movement. I’m here to keep your seat warm. Nice, nice. My nice little solace group. That was our helicopter money yesterday. So today we have evangel is being helicopter money. Guess you’d like the Fed sometimes. Who is going to be the Fed? Today’s the question with helicopter money in the chat. And look, look, today we’re drinking black coffee. No milk, no sugar. No sugar involved. And looking at the markets, you will see something very significant today. I can assure you of that. But before we go into that, this was hilarious. Strub saying, I flatten the death curve, but look, he put it in the wrong way. Somebody made this joke. Mr. President, you’re holding sideways because the US that, you know, is at an all time high. And by design, it is like that. By design is going to be like that. So don’t even expect this to change. This is growing exponentially. And if you know how the current fractional reserve banking works, how the current system works, how governments have outsourced money creation to the central bank, to the private banks, but also now the Fed is coming in printing like crazy. The whole economy is based on that. And the only way forward is have more debt. And we’re going to have a whole episode on this topic. Why? This is going to continue. And there is no way to get that down to make it stop. There is no way. So is just by definition how this economy works. This will just keep growing. The debt will keep growing. It will not go down. It’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. And Young said that this exponential move will become more and more dramatic. It is truly exponential. I mean, you look at this, this is basically how bitcoin grew in price during the past 10 years, completely exponential. Nine million percent we saw in Bitcoin price growth. Well, you see the same kind of development in national debt in the in the United States. And this is by design, guys, in order to make the economy work, we need more debt and there’s only going to continue. So don’t even expect it. Some people are like, hey, I didn’t expect this to grow. Why is this so big? Don’t even expect against have your expectations straight. This thing will just continue to grow. And they don’t get the surprise that it’s just by design like it it’s always gonna be like that, but it’s not sustainable. That is the thing. It’s not sustainable until we see some kind of reset in the system. Now, we are at 24 trillion right now and we have another super chart from Michael Valérie. Good morning from Amsterdam with T. Good morning to Amsterdam. Thank you so much. So we are at 24 trillion in national debt in the U.S. This is just going to continue. We’re going to be at the third to truly and very soon. And then at 60 and then at the hundred. And then the two hundred you see exponential. So expect it just expected. So looking at the markets, well, the following situation in Bitcoin and in the crypto space. Let me actually just put you in the top market cap like so worth bitcoin at minus 5 percent almost. So quite a brutal downfall, to be honest with you. We did not really establish ourselves firmly above seven cape. We have them at minus 5 percent. We have X-ART, P.F. minus 3 percent. So we have a lot of fear. And just like we discussed in the chad before we went live, which you’re going to see now, is people of bipolarity changing. Their bipolarity is changing very quickly in crypto. Now everyone’s going to say we’re going to go to Touquet. Now everyone’s going to say, we’re going to go to 3K. Just remember it. And this is kind of the thing you got to realize. We are bipolar. We’re bipolar. Hearings always gonna be like that. Nicole, what do you think about the Atlantis report on YouTube? I haven’t checked it. I will check it. Atlantis report. And thank you so much for the superjet and fireworks. You always make Friday a bit better with fireworks, guys. So we see a downfall in the top-10, especially a C minus 10 percent. I mean, obviously with B ASV, we have the Halling coming up soon. And you know how the halving went from Bitcoin cash? Not very well. I mean, it was very boring. Nothing really happened in terms in terms of price. It just collapsed and miners obviously stopped mining. So we did see a difficulty decrease. And now it’s just less security on the Bitcoin cash network. So BSEE is going to have the same basically today. I think it should be like in a few days, like if, you know, exact date, but it’s very, very soon. Looking at the big winners, we have waves, Dash Haddara, not a lot of winners today, only waves basically. And losers are in there was synthetic SK1. But look, the reason why many people are asking we have seen PSV, we’ve seen before encash. We’ve seen light. So why is Bitcoin having different? Why are people more excited about Bitcoin is humming? Well, because Bitcoin is more of a global phenomenon. It’s more of a global phenomenon. You see Bitcoin being used, for example, in third world countries. We’ve talked about how the Latin American economy in terms of local bitcoin is being all around Venu. Salah is being centred all around the you sell the Gore-Bush that episode if you don’t know what I’m talking about. We see the same thing in Africa. We see that in Asia, people using a lot of Kryptos well, in order to avoid restrictions in banking. And they are obviously using bitcoin. They’re using deathers because. Untether another one from Niccol. I love you. I love you, man, too. I love you, man. So this is more of a global thing. So when something like Holly happens, we do see. The supply and demand play out in the real economy way more, way more with big cash and BSP. Bitcoin cash NBA savvy. And by the way, when I say big cash, I don’t mean to mock it. Just like saying cash more. So we look at big cash NBC. It’s mostly internally to their to their tribe. That’s where most of the trading happens. The same with Lt.-Col. Like gold is a bit, by the way, more global as well. Bitcoin, cash and BSE. But what is the conclusion? The conclusion is that when the supply new newly produced supply in bitcoin cash or BSEE drops by 50 percent, you don’t really see a lot of demand. The demand is basically doesn’t even Karokhail. It’s less supply. We’re not going to trade us as much. I mean, are people going to say that? No, they’re not going to say that because it’s only used within their community for changing. A bit of speculation is still being used that somebody really needs somewhere in the world. So that’s the biggest difference between the hoardings of or Lt.-Col and Bitcoin cash. BWV and Bitcoin, because bitcoin, you do have more of a global effect. There is an inherent demand for biscuit and that is why that is why stop the flow model only works with bitcoin because stock to flow model describes the relationship between new supply and the demand and how it’s gonna affect everything. So please keep it in mind. Another one from Solit group Duyen waiting for a new stealth bomber. munya. I’ll buy bitcoin under 6.6 gate. This is the time to DCA when we have a bit of a pullback. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, yes. Remember that we do have our webinar completely free webinar on April the twenty ninth where we’re going to discuss how to stack massive, absolutely massive amounts of SATs in this bull market. That is coming up. And it’s completely free. You gotta check it out if you’re not in that category and if you haven’t been in this webinar before, completely free of nothing to lose. So just click the link below and sign up right now. And we do have our collaboration with BioBlitz and Femke. So if are trading, you want to trade with leverage. Go to a link below. You see best kripp deals. Click there. As always, Pemex man. Why are they loading so slowly? Always. Here they are on Fenwick’s. You basically can do bitcoin a theorem you SRP link dess light on and gold. You can also have gold here and buy, but it’s only bitcoin sitroom. ios6. But the good thing with by bit. I personally prefer byb it a bit more because they have more liquid asset. I mean the way more people are using it, it’s a way more mature platform, so to speak. So go and check out them in the description, but be very careful. Be extremely careful. More fireworks, guys. More more fireworks in the chat. You are on fire today. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Thank you, Harold. I appreciate you. I appreciate you a lot. Now, you know that it’s Friday and they told you that I would explain to you why. It’s amazing to have a Friday, but why you should not be overly excited about Friday aswell, because people who are overly excited about Friday, I sometimes feel that they don’t like what they’re doing during the week. So this is kind of the piece of knowledge I want to give to you today. Before we get into the corporate Marxism is that this case is Friday. But if you hate if you hate Mondays, you hate weekdays. You have to switch careers. Yes, you have to reconsider. So that is why, by the way, you should go and join the webinar, if you like, fried this too much. This is for you. Now, of course, if you have something you like, you work with something you like. You just want to spend more time with your family during the weekend. And that’s why you’re excited for Fridays. Completely fine. But if you feel that man, finally, I don’t have to go to work, then you really have to reconsider what you’re doing in life. And then, of course, Krypto full time is very important. And you gotta to learn how to stack sets. So go to the webinar first and foremost. Smart money is buying, guys, as you can see. We do have accumulation in terms of whales. Number of whales with and with an account with over 1000 1000. Bitcoin is increasing right now. This is looking a glass node on chain fundamentals and we’re seeing this accumulation in these accounts. They are going up. You know that we cans are selling. Retail is selling while wealth are accumulating because we know that the hubbing is just right around the corner. Now, accumulation always happens before the hoving, as we’ve seen in the past as well. Whales are accumulating. Weekends are not really accumulating because they don’t know what will happen. They’re a bit scared. They’re a bit uncertain what’s going to happen. Everyone is uncertain. But at least you’re gonna have some kind of vision for the future. Some kind of your internal belief, which you things are going to happen to Bitcoin long term. And obviously, if you are a whale, you do have that understanding and you accumulate during this time. So look at what the smart money is doing. And obviously, when we saw bitcoin completely wild. That is when Wells also started to selling off their stock and started to sell off here mostly, mostly before we reached like the crazy peak because you know that it’s impossible to time of the peak for you. It’s impossible to know exactly where the peak is. So smart manual’s taking profits. Those times as well. And now since basically 2009, in January, we’ve seen trend in accumulation. So keep it in mind. Look, we are living in very, very strange times. We’re living in very strange times because now is when you see America really showing how it works and when people say that America is the sign of capitalism failing. What they don’t understand is that it’s not capitalism, to be honest. It’s not capitalism in good times. We are religious capitalists. But if something goes wrong, we don’t mind socialism. But the socialism is not for you and me. It’s not for the middle class. It’s not for people who actually who actually need it. That is key to understand. It is for corporations. It is when the Fed is producing new money. It is when the Fed is going completely All-In like they’re doing right now with their operations. And this is something you can not ignore. Guys, there’s something we cannot ignore because you’re being you’re being robbed. Hey, man. Sebastian, thank you so much. Testing Super Shuttle Mobile. I hope it works. I hope it worked fine. So what do you make out of this? The following. The following. They will try to make people happy nonetheless. They will try to make it so that you and I don’t revolt. So we’re seeing right now, for example, Trump coming out and considering canceling student debt, because obviously everyone is looking at what’s going on with the corporate side. And obviously, you don’t want to see only corporations getting all of this free money. So let’s play this clip and then we’ll continue the discussion. Let me know if the sound works. Let me know if the sound works. Today, the Department of Education is also announcing the availability of more than 6 billion dollars in emergency grant funding to assist college students impacted by the cancellation of classes and the suspension of housing. A lot of people had a lot of things suspended. Housing is one of them. Previously, we waive student loan payments for six months. So student loan payments have been waived for six months and we’ll discuss it after that may go further. Look, they are together talk about maybe we’re gonna cancel your student, that may be maybe, maybe, maybe. Personally, I think that in this new times we’re living in. It could happen, but that would actually surprise me. It would surprise me if student debt got canceled. It would be in many cases a good thing from many perspective. A good thing, because, hey, if we’re still doing the socialism thing, if we’re already started, why not help? Also, young people look is better to help them as well. There are many arguments for that. They they they can start working from. From a position in which they have no debt. They can just start their lives without being slaves from day one. That is why you could make that argument in another country. Argument could be that what if somebody just paid off their debt and now they’re cancelling everyone’s student debt? You are basically rewarding the people who did not pay it back. And now if you just paid it back, you mentioned how you would feel if you just paid everything back and now suddenly it’s all canceled and you didn’t have to pay it. If you just waited a few more weeks. So obviously, it’s not an easy question, but I think the most important effect of this is to calm down everyone, to calm down everyone who is seeing the printer go wild right now and seeing the Fed go wild. It’s to say, hey, guys. You will also get a bit of that freshly printed fiat. Maybe. Maybe we’ll consider it for now. You just we just defer your payments, but maybe, maybe, maybe we’ll consider it because that would be a big thing. I mean, this would be a big thing for the average job. No question about that. I would be surprised if it actually happens. Let’s see. It’s not impossible. But the way the system works is not is not for students. I mean, it’s not for the for the middle class. And it’s not for anyone who has some kind of personal debt. I really, really doubt it will happen. But we’ll see. Nico, I’m father of three new babies to pay to pay for our failure. How how do you mean? I’m not really sure what you mean, but if you mean that they’re going to take care of you, then it may be a good strategy. We’re going back to the old days, by the way. Many people might be thinking in those old ways that, hey, we’re going to have kids to actually take care of us if you, of course, have financial difficulties. Now, what’s important to note is the numbers here. Now, we’ve mentioned that even the average Joe gets a bit of hope from the administration. They get a bit of hope. So they are calm. They don’t really do something crazy. They don’t protest too much. Maybe counselors tell them that. Now we’re seeing what’s happening with the Fed, the 2.3 trillion dollar now being printed to buy junk bonds. You’ll see Lynly. But saying. Exactly. Exactly. You’re like the mining or guys today. Amazing. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. So they are expanding their program with 2.3 freshly freshly printed theat in programs aimed at helping businesses and state local governments. So that’s what’s gonna happen. That announcement sparked a jump in stocks, a drop in the dollar because it’s getting devalued by the moment, guys. If you’re sitting in the dollar, reconsider. I mean, I would ask you to consider not financial advice, but I’m reconsidering that because too many people now become super bullish on the dollar. They think that this flight to safety will continue because the dollar has been performing quite well during the past months. We’ve seen a sell off in all kinds of assets. Where are they going? I mean, where is the value going to the dollar? But at the end of the day, everyone has already sold everything. That’s what’s going to happen. And then you sit there with your dollars. What do you do? Guess what do do you? As soon as possible want to buy a real asset that produces monthly cash flow. The last thing you want to do is sit and dollars long term. Yes, there are a lot of deflationary deflationary movements right now, such as a lot of debt being denominated in U.S. dollars and everyone needs dollars to pay back their debt or pay for their margin calls or to close their other obligations that are also denominated in dollars. But at the end of the day, you will be sitting there with dollars and what will you do? You will get very worried. You will get an easy because they are just printing another one from solid crypto. They are smart. They give the normal people this bits creating more and even this. Now the middle class is fighting each other for food and helicopter money. Divide and conquer. Soon. Soon, soon. The art of war must through this. I’ve read it, and you’re completely correct. That’s what’s going on right now. You’re completely correct. So keep this in mind now. The most important thing that’s going on right now is the fight that they’re going to buy junk bonds. They’re going to buy junk bonds. This has never happened before at this scale. So it would appear this Fed is aware that the economy is in dire straits, particularly with the small companies, and they are likely to take highly unusual steps, some unprecedented steps to see if they can loosen up that sector. So that’s what’s happening. They are all in. The Fed is really doing everything they can. They are gonna commit to this. The have already committed. And look, as part of the announcement, the Fed expanded its corporate lending programs to take it into a new area, including. CFS of companies that are rated below investment grade, basically junk junk bonds. Guys, why are they doing that? This is a very important thing to understand. Why is it so that the Fed Golson buys these bonds? Well, mainly to keep up the prices of the bonds, of course, because if you have the bond prices falling, corporate debt prices falling. It means that if you are a corporation and you are struggling and you want to release a new bond, because that is how you get finance, you release a bond that is debts that other people buy and they give you money for that bond and then you pay them interest and then you pay back that debt with time. But you understand that if the demand for the bonds on the market is zero, nobody’s buying bonds. Everyone is scared. That is what’s happening right now. Everyone’s scared. Nobody’s buying bonds. It means that for you to even be able to even be able to finance yourself to taking new money into your corporation through issuing bonds, it means that you have to increase the interest rate because there is no demand for any bonds. So the only way to maybe have someone buy your bond is to have a high interest rate. So that is the thing. The Fed comes in and says, hey, we will buy your bond. Don’t worry. We will buy your bond so that the corporations can take in more debt. They are able to sell their bonds, because when the Fed is doing this, it means that other banks and other investment banks and other institutions are also feeling a bit more comfortable to buy this debt from corporations to to to give corporations money, take their bonds, because they know that in the worst case, they can sell it to the Fed. They know it’s a market for this for these bonds, even junk bonds. Now there is a market because the Fed will buy them at the end of the day. So that is important. That is the most important thing to understand, because when you read this that the Fed is now buying corporate debt, corporate bonds. You don’t understand what’s going on. But if you know, that is because they want to keep up the market for bonds going so that these corporations can issue bonds and they know that somebody is going to buy them, they don’t have to have to crazy interest rate. That is what’s happening. And that is what they’re trying to do now to tell the bond market, hey, be active, be. Be calm down. Be confident in this bond market, because I doubt they were going to buy everything. Otherwise, if they didn’t do that, the the bonds would go down and nobody would buy them. And you s-corporation, you can not take in more debt. You can’t have crazy interest rates. And even when you do, people might not want to buy them. Now we have a donation from Zero Joy. Ivan, thanks for your content. Crazy economy. Will this super shot have the option to pay encrypted regards from Switzerland? Yes, crypto is coming. We’re going to start with ethe because it’s fast transaction and everyone has EIF and then maybe we’ll add the lightning because look, we’re not going to have bitcoin and wait for a six six confirmations. Maybe we’ll have we can have a 0 confirmation payment or something, but we can start with EEF because it’s so easy man. It’s so easy like this is gonna be a bit more difficult but if is very easy. So you can also understand that when we see this, we become addicted because now the whole market is functioning around the fact that the Fed will buy anything, they will buy anything. And that is how the market is structured. Mukul, please check the Atlantis report. Maybe you can find on why YouTube didn’t ban them. I will check them out. You guys recommended. I will check them out. Thank you so much, Nico, for donation. So what’s important here is that we’ve become addicted now that you see the whole bond market relying on the Fed. They’re basically telling Hape we’re confident because the Fed this year imagine now the Fed pulling out. How the confidence will disappear. So the Fed cannot pull out. I mean, they are in this. They are all in. They have committed. Once the Fed enters a market like the bond market, like they’ve done right now, buying even junk bonds they have committed. There is no way for them to go back, because if they go back, the whole confidence in that market collapses even more to even lower levels compared to when the Fed entered. And when corporate debt market collapses, no corporation will be able to get funding from bonds because nobody will buy them. Nobody will actually give them money. So you see that we are this addicts. The whole economy is addicted. That is why also is connected to this situation with exponential debt. You need just to have more debt once you have a bit of debt, like the only way forward is more. And we’re gonna have a whole episode where I explain how it works, exactly why you should not even expect it to go down or sideways. It will never do, guys. The national debt, it will just continue going up in an exponential rate now is not sustainable. This is like we will see how much it continues, but I don’t know how much. Maybe two hundred trillion, maybe to 500 trillion. We’re gonna be there soon because it’s exponential. Our brains can not comprehend exponential developments a lot because you see, just a few years ago, we were somewhere here on this chart and then we completely exploded. Now to hear it, look, it’s just gonna be exponential. So we are addicted and it’s just going to continue like this. What’s important as well is that we need to be looking at the dates. So you see, for example. We have this 2.3 trillion loan bailout program that the Fed announced recently. Yesterday they really started with this. They really started looking on this in March and you know that on March 24th for it was downgraded because obviously nobody is buying cars in the crisis. Nobody is really investing in that. So the bonds, the corporate debt of Ford was downgraded for this, obviously very important for the U.S. economy. No question about that. For employment. So now the Fed basically had to readjust their strategy and say, hey, we’re even gonna go and buy the debt or off of companies that are below investment grade such as Ford. So it’s important. It’s important. And that is exactly what’s going wrong. And look, they got that mess with the rules a lot. That is what they have done. This is what Jerome Powell said. They had the Fed in it recently when he announced this whole situation with two point three trillion. These programs that we are using under the law. We do this, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of treasury secretary and the fiscal of backing from the Congress through the Treasury. So here is where we start talking about the fact that they are emerging. The Fed and the Treasury are merging. They are bending the rules. They’re bending the reality of how this whole system was set out to be the relationship and the polarity of the Fed. And the government is now breaking down and they are merging their view. Thank you so much. By bit leverage 106 for life. Thank you so much. V a few a an H. I really appreciate you. So this is very big because now the the Treasury is in tandem. They’re working in tandem with the Fed. And if you read the quote further, you see that we’re doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. We are directed by Congress. We are using the fiscal backdrop to absorb annual losses we have. So we have monetary and fiscal policy now in full in full speed, in full effect. And you know that monetary policy is already exhausted because how much lower can you do interest rates? You can still do a lot with fiscal, but that requires political will and political support. Our ability is limited by law. By the law. Look, you said that it’s limited. It’s limited, but they are moving forward. We have to find unusual and exigent circumstances. And the treasury secretary has to agree. And we’re using this fiscal backdrop. So, look, they are limited by the law, but they will still find ways through working with the government, through working with the administration. Any thoughts on how this will affect deferred development? Says said that we’ll get less discussed if I then say I will bring it up, but then deferred development. But good question. We will, of course, talk about this at them. And it has a lot to do because the only way forward for the Fed is either to print more money. They will do that. They could even lower interest rates a bit more. They could still do some some monetary policy. Obviously, when you have negative interest rates, you also have to decide the banks will have to decide either to implement it in savings accounts. So, for example, in Europe, in the E.U., if you have a corporate account in the bank and you have euros, you have euros, you will lose money every month, you will lose minus 0.4 percent or zero point zero. For something like that, you’re going to lose. OK. I think it 0.4 percent. But these days of interest rate, your money in the bank, they take they take a bit. I’ve experienced this. I’ve had money, corporate money with our corporation. We had it in a bank account. We had euros each and every month. We were paying negative interest rate. Now it’s not like that. If you have a personal account and this is not an all in all banks, some banks don’t don’t have this because the banks decide it’s not an all banks. But if this continues, you understand that the Fed, the only thing they will be able to do is to decrease interest rates and then literally force people to spend their money. You have your money in the bank. It disappears. You literally have to go and run and buy something as soon as possible, especially with digital fiat. So here’s where it becomes scary, because digital fiat will be pushed down your throat. It will be like that. You will be forced to accept it. Why is it so? Because they can have monetary instant policy like never before. Right now it’s up to the banks. The banks decide, OK. We should have negative interest rates in the accounts or not. So as I told you, our bank had negative interest rates for corporate accounts, for private accounts. They did not. Some other banks don’t even have that for corporate accounts. Now, the Fed obviously wants more economic activity. They want digital cash so they can enforce this negative interest rates. By themselves, without going through the private banks and checking with them by themselves, everyone will have a minus. For example, 1 percent in in the interest rate. Whatever money you have in your wallet, it will evaporate. You’re forced to spend it as soon as possible. Now here’s where Defi comes in. For example, when you look at old stable coins like Teather, you did see. You look at you as D.S. you look at all of the essentially stable coins. You know that they have dollars in their bank account. That’s how they work. They bag their stable coins with dollars. Imagine their bank account in the near future having negative interest rate, which might happen. Look at how it might happen that they will have negative interest rates in their bank account, just like we had in our corporate bank accounting in Sweden. So it means that they need to produce somehow. Teather now needs to produce positive cash flow in order to even be able to keep their reserve of dollars because they’re losing each and every month, each and every day they’re losing a bit. So this means that if you look at Defi coming back to a question about DFI, when you look at DI, for example, DI is also pegged to the dollar. That is also pegged to the dollar. But it’s not being backed by a bank account that disappears evaporates. It’s backed by an algorithm. So here’s where DI will really outperform all other stable funds because all other stable course is basically a gamble. They need to risk the money to get positive cash flow to be able to even have reserves as they are without losing. All right. But with DI, you don’t have that. Is it just supply and demand of for eith and diet loans alone mechanics? CGP collateralised debt position. So here is where you truly will see defi shining if negative interest rates become big. And this is something that many people don’t talk about, but it’s one of the most important aspects of die of maker. They will be the only stable coin that is actually that is actually stable to the dollar. And they don’t have to gamble with your funds to to try to get cash because they don’t even have your funds. I mean, just an algorithm. Nobody has your funds, just an algorithm that keeps it that one dollar with supply and demand. Look, leaving this topic, how do you summarize it? Man, it’s a lot. It’s a lot. A lot, a lot. How do you summarize this topic? Number one, if you have Fiat. Don’t be too comfortable, guys. Don’t be too comfortable. Yes. Asset prices have been falling. But but but then over there, you know that it’s just a printer at the end of the day. So think about the fact that it’s it’s inflated like crazy. What happens when this money actually enters the economy? What will happen to consumer prices if these trillions enter the economy? They’re still stuck only in the financial assets. But what will happen if this money suddenly enters the real economy? What will happen to consumer prices? Think about that. Think about that. There’s always a deflation before hyperinflation. All hyperinflation is are followed are preceded by deflation. That’s very important. Think about the fact that when you hear somebody saying the students will be cancelled, haven’t mind that. Of course, this would be amazing if they got cancelled. But don’t be too optimistic because it mostly is just to calm people down and look at everything that is going on in the financial sector. Don’t expect the the debt to fall. It will never fall. It will increase exponentially. It is by design is how it’s supposed to be is by design. It’s not sustainable long term. And the bottom line, we have corporate Marxism. We have corporations getting free money. We don’t have capitalism in the US right now. We have Marxism, corporate Marxism. So whenever people say that capitalism has failed, you have to explain to them this is not at all a free market where a centrally planned where central planning. Right now we’re allocating resources based on how a few guys think they should be allocated. We’re creating all of this money out of thin air, basically redistributing wealth according to decisions made by by a few six year olds or 70 year olds like, look, they cannot compete with a. You cannot compare it with the power of computers and power of analyzing big data. Like you can not have a few dudes doing all of these decisions. This will get me really mad. Gates I’m sorry, but I think you got to have more of an algorithmic approach to money. People have screwed out, stripped out of screwed up this several times through history. No Fiat survives. No Fiat is here for more than a few decades. The only one that has survived for a very long time is basically the British pound. And so you’ve got to realize they will always screw up. And now we basically have essentially planned economy where if you guys decide exactly where the money will go, who will receive it, who will not receive it. This is what the the guys with the mustache and the beard do, you know, like DeMoro. Engle’s what they’ve been dreaming about. But but this perverted idea that you give it to the corporations. I mean, at least they thought that they would give it to workers or something, you know, would give it to the workers. But now we have corporate marches. I mean, imagine Marx hearing this anyway. You get my point. You get my point. This is this is terrible. A few. Thanks for explaining the basics of finances. Even the most in this chart do understand. Thanks. Thanks to even though most of the do understand. Yeah, I think you guys understand a little it that. That’s amazing. Solid. Thank you so much again. I started development of tdap with star developer from my time. Nice. We were building my bank, Midland Bank, a place where people can store their fiat seemless in. Amazing. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I will check. I will check. Soll. Thanks so much for the Nazy. Thank you so much for the nation. Or I guess moving on. We have some news from Kryptos. Com You know that we are working with crypto dot com. And if you go to Ivan on tech dot com slash deals, I will tell you. Com slash deals, you will find a link to crypto dot com. And if you sign up using this link right here on Amazon, the concierge deals, you get dollars and I get fifty dollars. So we’re both profits from that. But what’s important is that now they’re integrated with Ledger. So if you buy your ledgers with crypto com app, you get 10 percent cash back. So that’s big. And also they are adding all kinds of brands also with 10 percent, the cash cashback. They have Costco, Whole Foods, Kroger, Woolworths carry 4. I look like American brands. I don’t even know what this is, but I guess it’s big. Let me know if this thing is big. Fair price. Shane Qiong E Mart Metro. Yeah. We don’t have this in Sweden. I know Costco and Full Wholefoods here I’ve been when I’m in the US, I’ve been here. Here I haven’t been a door dash. I’ve used that Instacart use that these guys haven’t used. But it seems that these guys are big quarter for it. No it’s not. The US is Frej. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. I was in France a long time ago, but I’ve been in Monaco a few times since then. But it’s kinda France. Kinda not. I didn’t see Corey for there. How do you say it? I am probably butchering the name, but anyway. And finally, some important news from Polonia Pro Polonia to know. These guys are now being controlled by Justin. And now they are jumping on the IEO train a bit late. I mean, a bit late, according to me, because I’m are not a big thing right now, but there you go. They have a lounge bass right now launching and. Yeah, let’s see what kind of things they do. But I mean, honestly, for Io’s to really be interesting in one way or another. You need to have a new bull market. I mean, right now, nobody is gonna care about Io’s, but they are working to increase the utility of Tron ya x because the only way you can be able to participate is through this TR X coin. So there you go, guys. Let’s see. Let’s see. For me, it’s always interesting to see like what the exchanges are doing and what kind of plans they have. And Justin san. He’s buying everything. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out like the like this timeat fiasco because it is a fiasco. Can I say anything against that? Look, we have basically a split in the community community completely taking the matter into their own hands, into their own hands and and disregarding and disregarding them. This takeover. But let’s see how Polonia X performs. If they can. If they can manage to do something out of this, but the jury is in the next bull market, I don’t think it will be a big thing right now in in this current times, because people are not really, really interested in ideals right now. Will change, will probably change. We’re going to see whether it’s going to be IYO a system or something else. But there will always be appetite for Alz. I mean, always in a bull market. Always, always, always. Trump can still pump in the hype. It’s too cheap. How do you mean it’s cheap, though? Please don’t say you look at the price per coin because too many people do that. And I always have to explain it. So when you look at price per coin, it is one cent. But guys, please, why are you looking at price per coin? Because I guess that’s what you’re looking at. When you say it’s chip, it has a market cap of eight hundred forty two million like a close to Cardinal Baseball. Kodama has Monaro look at market cap. This is this is the price of an eight hundred million. This doesn’t matter of price per coin does not matter. But it’s an example of why you need to have a big supply base. You need to have a big supply in your Quinn. And I know my friends and I would joke that if Satoshi created bitcoin and he gave it instead of twenty one million cap, he gave it a cap of one point 2.1 billion. So instead of twenty one million you have just for simplicity’s sake, let’s say you did twenty one billion. Thank you so much Steve. Can I pay supercharged with crypto buyer SPDC. Look, we’re going to start with ethe man. Well you can add all of the old coins later. We’re going to start with EIF or Teq, so we’re gonna do ethe first. But thank you for the nation state. So look, if Satoshi did 20 1 billion and not twenty one million coins, it would mean that the price of bitcoin currently would be just six point nine dollars. Because you know that twenty one billion is a thousand times twenty one million. So the price would be a thousand times less. It would be 6.9 and we would have the same market cap. So if that would be the case, people would not find bitcoin expensive and we would maybe not have all of the old guys because people would think that bitcoin is cheap as well. Just six dollar coin. Can you elaborate on BEHKISH hubbing and why it is dropping BTC champ thing for the nation? Well, let’s let me elaborate. The thing is, when we’re looking at the harvest, the only reason why we’re seeing Bitcoin jump up in price with an order of magnitude so that, you know, before the previous hubbing we had the price in terms of a hundreds, like few hundreds. Now we’re talking thousands. After next halving, we’re gonna talk about tens of thousands. We’ve already been at 20K. But what I’m talking about is more that we’re going to be a 50, 60, 70 probably. I don’t know. I don’t know. But no financial advice, as always. No financial advice. But this is how I see it, that the price will develop and it will jump in. Orders of magnitude. Why is it happening? Well, because we are having the new freshly produced coins each and every four, four years, which is which is a similar a similar development. But in the other direction. I mean, your having you basically, you know, when you take times to all the time, you have this exponential development when you’re halving. You have exponential but inverted. So you have you have this exponential city that is just decreasing, decreasing and decreasing. So what I want to say by that, I want to say that if you have an economy such as Bitcoin that is global, it’s global, guys. There is demand in all kinds of countries, whether it is for the fact that people want to be sure that their funds are not confiscated. If you live in a dictatorship, for example, and you are wealthy, you might want to have a bit of bitcoin because, look, you might not have rule of law. And if the guy in charge does not like you, he might take your property. So will you go into Bitcoin cash in that case or really go to Bitcoin? You’ll go to Bitcoin. The same is when you have people struggling with hyperinflation. They go into bitcoin. So there is an inherent demand outside of justice, speculation for bitcoin. So when so when we see a cut in the newly produ produced the bitcoin, the demand is basically the same like its is global. It’s used for all kinds of things. So demand is the same or even increasing because the awareness grows for bitcoin. So there of course you see the newly freshly produced bitcoin supply dropping by too. And then it makes sense that the price would would go up by order of magnitude. Now in bitcoin cash litecoin be ASV, other coins. You don’t have that. You don’t have the global global demand. So did the newly produced supply drops. Nobody even cares. I mean, they’re just trading them on exchanges like they were before. And that’s it. So you understand that. The biggest difference. That is why stocks to flow model is not working with any other coin than Bitcoin that has a halving. And this is very important. This very, very important to understand. So I hope you got it. I hope you got it. The holding. Does it matter if this if the demand is not the same or bigger after the halving for this newly produced coins and in Bitcoin? Usually we’ve seen that that the demand is interstate’s staying the same because then the price will go up. If newly produced supply goes down by 50 percent or if the demand is is going up, then of course this will also go up. Now we have a Lynly saying did you ever look at msorry screener actual volume? So I look at me. Sorry, sometimes. Sometimes. But. You mean that we have a lot of washe raising or what? Because we do have a lot of wussed training. That’s that’s for sure. Yeah. So this one I’ve seen. Yes. Yes, yes. And it’s a big topic like what is the volume of Beskind. What is the. Even the price of bitcoin is a big topic as well. But what exactly do you want me to to see here is just the fact that the market cap is one thing. Liquid market. That is another thing. Yes. Another one I like, by the way, is coin. Market book coin. Market book dot Ceecee, I think. This one is also important, kind of in the same in the same category where you see the true metrics. Let’s see if the site will work. So, yeah, it works because here there’s the rising by support. So this is how much we have in terms of liquidity in the market and how much it will take to drop the price by 5 percent, I think. So let me read this info and buy orders at 10 percent distance from the highest bid price. This is how much you would basically have to dump to drop the price by 10 percent in bitcoin. Pretty much so by support is very important. And you see how quickly it drops in. If it’s just 67 million in this table, can paxos twenty one. But the stable coins. So doesn’t this doesn’t really apply to stable coins SRP because there you have this arbitrage is going to be quickly utilized. If the price of, for example, you as DC drops below a dollar. People gonna buy it instantly. You will see this new demand coming out of nowhere because at the end of day, they are regulated. So there is a good chance that they have their dollars because they are regulated. And so if the price of you as this is below a dollar and you know that they have the backing for one dollar, it’s like free money. It’s not like that with other coins to just table coins that this work works with SRP, just 19, EOS just 18. So yeah, you see that it’s sometimes disc coins. They have very, very thin buy support. If you just scroll down to top 50, even in the top 50, you’ll see below a million. And after top hundred the bi support is literally zero. You can dump and bam with just a little 50k 70k. Yeah. And you know, as soon as you start dumping that by support will probably change. People will pull out their orders because you see the price going down like this, even if you have a buy order setting within the 10 percent of the of the current price. You might remove it. And so and so it might be even faster fall. Ivan. Have you heard read it is going to make a blockchain points system. Interesting. Interesting. I haven’t heard that. Is it going to be on public blockchain or linking the link in the chat? Read the blockchain points. I haven’t actually heard it, but is it going to be like their own private blockchain experiment or not tipping system? Interesting. Is Reddit devising a new tipping system? Interesting. Interesting. Let’s check. I hope it’s on. If help is on it or something, it could be doing there. Okay. All right. Previous, maybe some stellar. All right. It was first run on the trader. Interesting screen recording posted. So what is the what is the thing here? Oh, you have coins, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have coins. Nice rigid coins. I wonder what blushing they’re going to do it on because look, they don’t want to maybe do it on eBay because in the wallet and like pay for transactions, nobody is going to do that. If they’re not encrypt, it’s going to be difficult to convince people. But maybe if they do on iOS then the the users don’t do. I will see. Yes. We’ll see. Yes. It depends on what kind of role they take because the best thing would would would do it on EEF, but it’s not the best from user experience. So if Reddit really takes the role of the educator because it’s very, very expensive and difficult to educate people about new technology and show them here’s your wallet, here’s your private key. You might lose your private key, by the way. And if you lose it, we cannot help you. It’s gonna be very expensive. Their support will explode with tickets. Whereas my Reddit points or I’m trying to use metho mascara on my Nokia ten fifty five from the 80s. Why is my metal mask and my redit points are not working like they’re going to apple. Oh kind of. That’s when you’re introducing new technology. So the question is will they want to deal with it or not or not? Because I think they probably will not want to deal with it. So they will just have, for example, that they hold to everyone’s coins. And if you want to withdraw your coins to our wallet, you can do that. And then it’s up to you to learn everything. But you don’t have to withdraw or or they can just use you or something. So, yeah, I lost my private key and my two or before a I knew it was important. Yeah, private key. We’ve all lost some private game. They changed the transparency laws to have meeting outside of public view. The Fed, the politicians. Nicole, again, amazing, amazing show. Ivan, you are truly you truly understand how to combine the facts of blockchain, old finance and presented in style. Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for the nation. I love this fireworks. They are just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I hope they’re not lagging your phones. Guys, if you have phones that are lagging, let me know. But the amazing fireworks, man. Maybe we will have like a setting so that you can turn off the fireworks if your phone is too slow or it’s not working for some reason. First step. It’s lagging, says Meleia. Maybe we’ll have a button like no fireworks. First time ever, thank you and your team for all the great content. Been following since the early books. Mine. Old books. Mining. That was. That was good times. Fireworks crashing my work visa. I mean, look, I mean, either can make the fireworks smaller, but then it will kind of ruin the effect for me at least. I want have big fireworks. So maybe you yourself can like change how much fireworks you want. Because I want big fireworks, man. And when you do a super chat, I want my whole screen to have fireworks. Ivan, where can they vote? What is the next object should be or what? What, what? Oh, man. My my web, too, at the same time. Oh, now my even my screen is lagging. It’s like a wall. Yeah. Make it look. Yeah. That was amazing. At the same time. It was amazing. Let’s see. This was a good question about wasn’t it subject. I think if you did the first course, you should already have a service sent out to you. But I know that you guys want flashlight. So we’re gonna do it. We’re gonna do flash loans. Do use your sample domain building your apps. If not, why? So for now, we’re focusing on. I wanted the com slash live and we’re not building the unstoppable domain yet because we need to build this. Like this is the priority. We need to build the superjet theory on this working already, but we want to continue building it and then we will move on. Do not touch the fireworks, says V, a few. Exactly. Exactly. Man, I hope it’s good that you like them as goosh like you. I don’t see the algo trading course in your academy. I’m not registered yet. Can you give some info about it? You should see it. Why are you not seeing it? You should, of course, see it. It’s. It’s in. Let’s see. Oh, maybe Wood didn’t added to the tracks. We maybe didn’t add it to the tracks, man. Fireworks exploding. Another one doing it for fireworks, John. Nice, nice, nice. I’m addicted to this fireworks, by the way. So let’s see where we are. Maybe we didn’t add this man. Maybe I’m blushing for business. Yeah. I remember it. We forgot to add it in the tracks here. But look, it’s in the academy for sure. It’s in the academy doing it for Johns. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. So let me actually show it to if I am logged in. If I’m not logged, then let’s see it. Let me just quickly show it to Boom-Boom. Oh, my. I just had my Adam on. But anyway, it in the academy. What we teach you is, number one, how to create bots on it, chasing bots. We do it. No one in tracing you, you know, chasing you.

Maybe man made mint in the bezel. How big it is. And ideally, ideally for now we are not that interested. For now, at least for now, at is because we have other priorities we need to make like crypto superjet work and all of that. But maybe then we’ll do it. It’s like it’s also things that Doug that. Man, if you’re watching from DuckDuckGo, I’m sorry, we still haven’t had time to fix. But I know there’s this guy using Dat Dat Go browser on mobile and apparently we have some bugs there. I didn’t even know they have a browser. So we need to we need to check it. Check it. Keep up the good work. Happy finally moved out of YouTube. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. John. Thanks so much. Emojis. Well, immodest work, but you have to put it in yourself. So let me see. helderman man on Windows Fentiman. No. Where’s oh, here’s emoji. So if I put the heart light like you just have to do it yourself IMO. Just work is just that. Oh, I have my Tesla account here. Look, it will just work. But yeah, maybe we should we should add that when you do like this and you do a module like this, that it will also be automatically converted into an emoji. But they work you if you just put in them. Well, guess what is this, huh? I see you guys posting this. Is it the face or what? Many, many of your this I have no clue what it is. It’s like we’re going down in price. Is that like the price indicator? Because we are going down right now. I’m using Doug. Doug, go on. Mobile seems good, but fibers can be overwhelming. Yemen, especially when many fireworks. That’s that’s where they work. I think you should start fireworks. That’s true. That’s true. Maybe we should. Otherwise, it’s gonna be overwhelming quickly. That’s actually true. I think we’ll do it. We’ll do it. Fireworks, because, man, I love fireworks. It’s amazing. I sense since that we had the idea to create our own super chat. I always had this idea of fireworks that we need to do something amazing. Is a Darth Vader face, I think. No overlapping fireworks. Yeah. That is gone. If like five people at the same time, the fireworks are going to be too big for some machines. I’m just here for fireworks to spam. It’s an Eskimo, Jim. You’re not old enough to know what I’ve. Ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see them. I see that it’s a Moja, but yes, maybe I’m not too old enough. Let’s do supercharged fireworks stress test. You could if you could. It’s like you can also do it locally, by the way, if you know a bit of development. You can open up your console and you can do it locally. When Selim’s to clean it up. But where’s the console here? Oh, it’s called the confetti. Confetti superjet confetti like you see, you can execute this function locally. See, I can just I can just spam my machine to death like this if I just do all of this functions. Oh, man. Mama, I hope my. I just need to refresh. Yeah. So you can spam that function in the console if you want. But we. Yeah. You see. Yeah. Well we will. We will make the code. Oh but what it’s called we will obfuscated.

The Boogeyman of Baltimore 1951

The summer of 1951 was a weird time in the city of Baltimore. The city sweltered under a heat wave and only the wealthiest residents of the region could afford air conditioners at the time. And there were no air conditioners to be found in O’Donnell Heights, a housing project on the southwest side of the city. This was a place where steel mill and shipyard workers lived with their families. For those folks, though, the steamy heat was less of a worry than the specter that was stalking their streets.

At some point in July, a tall, thin figure, dressed all in black, began sprinting across the rooftops of O’Donnell Heights. It leaps on and off buildings, broke into houses, attacked people, enticed a young girl to crawl under a car and played music in the nearby graveyard. Groups of young men patrolled the streets, while others waited by their windows at night, keeping a sleepy watch for the “Phantom Prowler” that eluded his pursuers and vanished into the cemetery before he could be caught. By the end of the month, police were arresting people for disorderly conduct and carrying weapons, but the phantom had disappeared and was never seen again. What in the hell happened in O’Donnell Heights in the summer of 1951? To this day, no one knows.

O’Donnell Heights was only eight years old when the mysterious stranger began making his appearances. Built as a housing project for defense industry workers at Bethlehem Steel, Martin Aircraft and Edgewood Arsenal during World War II, it was never meant to be either durable or attractive. Tightly-spaced, two–story row houses went up on sixty-six acres of what used to be farmland, a brickyard that belonged to the Baltimore Brick Co. and part of St. Stanislaus Kostka Cemetery, one of several graveyards in the immediate area. The others included Evangelical Trinity Lutheran Congregational, Mount Carmel, St. Matthew’s and Oheb Shalom Congregation Cemetery, but the phantom would show an affinity for St. Stanislaus and often appeared nearby.

By the time that the local newspapers realized that something very strange was happening in the Heights, the panic was almost over. Most of the stories that remain today come from the back pages of the Baltimore Sun and Evening Sun, which printed a handful of articles between July 25 and July 27, when the sightings came to an end. Reporters approached it as a “tongue in cheek” story with cartoon illustrations. No one seemed to know when the events had started, but on July 24, Agnes Martin told a reporter that the phantom had been seen for “at least two or three weeks.”

The first definite date discovered by researcher Robert Damon Schneck was on July 19, although the figure had undoubtedly been seen a number of times prior to that. On this date, though, there was a full moon and nighttime temperatures were in the 70’s. It was around 1:00 a.m. when William Buskirk, 20, ran into the phantom. He reported, “I was walking along the 1100 block of Travers Way with several buddies when I saw him on a roof. He jumped off the roof and we chased him into the graveyard…”

One of the other boys interviewed with Buskirk stated that, “he sure is an athlete. You should have seen him go over that fence – just like a cat.” The fence that surrounded the cemetery was six feet in height and trimmed with barbed wire around the top. According to the witnesses, the figure in black had leapt over it with ease.

Hazel Jenkins claimed that the phantom grabbed her some time the same week. She saw it twice at close-range and may have been attacked when the figure tried to break into the Jenkins home but her brother, Randolph, saw it soon after. He told a reporter, “I saw him two nights after he tried to break into our house… He was just beginning to climb up on the roof of the Community Building. We chased him all the way to Graveyard Hell.”

The phantom next visited the family of Melvin Hensler, breaking into their house on July 20, but stealing nothing. After this unnerving experience, the family went to stay with Mr. Hensler’s brother, but Mrs. Hensler returned to the house the next day and found “a potato bag left on the ironing board,” which she was convinced belonged to the intruder. Mr. Hensler was so exhausted from staying awake that his eyes ached and he had started talking in his sleep.

Storms on July 23 lowered the temperatures, but had no effect on the phantom. In fact, on July 24, he was especially active. Newspapers reported, “At 11:30 p.m. officers Robert Clark and Edward Powell were called to the O’Donnell Heights area where they were greeted by some 200 people who said that had seen the oft-reported ‘phantom.’ Clark said that they pointed to the rooftops and someone yelled: ‘The phantom’s there!’” The police drove around and arrested a twenty-year-old sailor carrying a hammer. He was fined $5.

A reporter from the Sun found thirty of forty people waiting around the back stoop of a house on Gusryan Street, waiting for the sun to come up. One of them, Charles Pittinger, had armed himself with a shotgun. He interviewed several of them, who passed along rumors and told of their own experiences. Some of them claimed the phantom lived in the graveyard and a woman who lived on Wellsbach Way, adjacent to St.

Stanislaus, suggested that the phantom was doing more than jumping fences and breaking into houses: “One night I heard someone playing the organ in that chapel up there. It was about 1 o’clock.”

The phantom was also reportedly seen beckoning to Esther Martin from underneath an automobile, saying, “Come here, little girl.”

The consensus of the crowd was that the phantom easily leaped from two-story buildings, flew over fences and was a general nuisance in the neighborhood. A man named George Cook admitted having mixed feelings about what was happening. He did not deny the reports of the phantom, just the possibility that something extraordinary was involved. In the end, he blamed the media. “It’s ridiculous to believe that a man can jump from a height and not leave a mark on the ground. Yet this character does it all the time. It’s my idea that when this thing is cleared up… it’ll turn out to be one of these young hoodlums who has got the idea from the movies or the so-called funny papers, and is trying to act it out. This sort of thing appeals to detective story readers who are mainly looking for excitement.”

Meanwhile, the police were busy ignoring the phantom and rounding up the “usual suspects.” On the morning of July 25, they arrested four boys on disorderly conduct charges at an unidentified cemetery. Around 10:00 p.m. that same night, officers arrested three boys on an embankment near the cemetery. Their six companions, all on the lookout for the phantom, fled the scene. An hour later, the police responded to a call from a resident who heard footsteps on his roof, but nothing was found. At some point the next day, Mrs. Mildred Gaines heard the sound of someone trying to break into her house and ran outside barefoot screaming, “It’s the phantom!” It was actually the police breaking down the door to serve a search warrant on the premises. Mrs. Gaines and four male companions were arrested on bookmaking charges.

By this time, the newspaper coverage – which had started off with reporters as baffled as the residents of O’Donnell Heights – turned humorous. The stories poked fun at the sightings, reported pranks by neighbors pretending to be the phantom, and carried a story about a phantom sighting on a rooftop that turned out to be a ventilation pipe. On July 27, the Evening Sun announced there were no more reports and that, “Police think it might be a teenager.” The phantom was gone, but the heat was back, with high humidity and temperatures in the middle 90’s.

Like most bizarre “flaps” of this type, there was no satisfying resolution to the panic created by the Phantom of O’Donnell Heights. An unofficial version claimed that residents finally chased it into the cemetery, where the phantom jumped into a crypt and vanished for good.

No one can say who, or what, this figure may have been, although based on the sheer number of sightings, something weird was happening in the neighborhood. Descriptions of the phantom were fairly consistent, considering that that the encounters were brief, took place in the dark, and he was usually moving at a good clip. William Buskirk said, “He was a tall thin man dressed all in black. It looked like he had a cape around him.”

The only one who mentioned the phantom’s face was witness Myrtle Ellen, who said it was horrible. She also agreed about the dark costume. The newspapers described the phantom as “black robed,” suggesting long, loose-flowing clothes. Mrs. Melvin Hensler, discoverer of the discarded potato sack, saw the phantom three times and said that during one sighting, it looked as though he had a hump on his back.

Theories abound about the “Horror of the Heights.” Sociologists have described the events in O’Donnell Heights as an example of an “imaginary community threat,” suggesting that the 900 families living there experienced some type of mass hysteria, whipped up by rumors and the media. It’s true that misconceptions undoubtedly played a part in the events, but they don’t explain the relatively straightforward experiences described by William Buskirk and other witnesses. The police never denied that people were seeing something but, like George Cook, thought it would turn out to be a “young hoodlum.” But if it was, he was never caught, exposed or confessed.

It’s also hard to accept that the newspapers played a part in creating any hysteria. The two local papers ran only six articles on the phantom, two of them mere fillers, and they were printed as the sensation was coming to an end. The only one that might be called “sensationalistic” ran on July 25 and included the experiences of a number of witnesses. However, it ended on a sober note: “The question of the prowler of O’Donnell Heights continued to be not one of the phantoms, but of people reacting to (and possibly creating) the unknown with their imaginations.”

Some have taken the phantom’s affinity for St. Stanislaus as evidence that it was an actual ghost. Part of O’Donnell Heights was built on land that once belonged to the cemetery, which contains a great many unmarked graves from the influenza epidemic of 1918. Also, bodies were exhumed and reinterred when Boston Street was extended in the 1930s, but it’s hard to see how this would stir up a spirit in July 1951.

There has also been the suggestion that the phantom was some sort of mysterious entity like the “Mothman” of West Virginia or the “Mad Gasser of Mattoon,” which plagued a small town in Illinois in 1944.

Whatever it was, it remains a mystery and one that – like far too many others – will simply never be solved.

“If you focus too much on only a personal relationship being the core tenet of your faith, then it means that you’re more easily able to marginalize topics like human suffering, which in some cases is spurred by climate change. We are embodied creatures in this planet, so let’s live like we are,” said Sean Lyon. Credit: Meera Subramanian

WHEATON, Illinois — Diego Hernandez wasn’t thinking much about climate change until last summer, when he was traveling with his family along the Gulf Coast in his home state of Texas, where his ancestors—cowboys and politicians, he said—reach back to the 1600s. His mother suggested they take the “scenic route” for that summer drive, Diego said, his fingers making air-quotes because there was nothing “scenic” about it. All he saw were oil refineries.

“At that moment,” said 19-year-old Diego, who considers himself a libertarian, “the switch kind of flipped for me.” Why are we putting refineries in this beautiful place? he thought. The impacts from Hurricane Harvey, which had hit Houston the previous August and had affected some of Diego’s relatives, were also still lingering in his mind.

“I used to be like, oh, there’s oil, go start drilling, you know, because of course it’s all about the money, right?” he said, his voice tinged with sarcasm. But after that family outing, he began to ask questions—”What is it doing to our environment? How is it going to affect us in the next 10 to 50 years?”—and since then he’s had climate change on his mind.

Diego is a clean-shaven, lifelong Christian wearing a cyan blue button-down and polished cowboy boots, and a sophomore at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, which has been called the Harvard of Christian schools. The entrance sign, framed by a glowing bed of zinnias in full bloom, pronounces the school’s motto: “For Christ and His Kingdom.” But while Diego has all the credentials of a true political conservative—president of Wheaton’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter, a cabinet member of the College Republicans—he also finds himself genuinely baffled by the right’s stance against acting on climate change.

While many evangelicals are preoccupied with the long-term state of human souls and the protection of the unborn, Diego and the other students I met at Wheaton are also considering other eternal implications and a broader definition of pro-life. They are concerned about the lifespan of climate pollutants that will last in the atmosphere for thousands of years, and about the lives of the poor and weak who are being disproportionately harmed by the effects of those greenhouse gases. While Diego was just shy of eligible voting age in the 2016 presidential election, he’s old enough to vote now. He and other young evangelicals thought hard this year about the politicians on offer, the issues they stand for, and who deserved their votes.

  What’s an Evangelical to Do?

Evangelical Protestants—one in four American adults—are a political powerhouse. They are the single largest religious group in the nation, and they are nearly twice as likely to be Republican as Democrat. And while Baby Boomers are currently the strongest political voting bloc, that’s only because the older you are, the more likely you are to vote.

The current crop of younger people—from Gen X to Millennials to the newly minted adults I met at Wheaton—are poised to dominate the eligible-voter body politic. They would definitively tip the voting scales—should they become engaged. There are signs they might be doing just that. From the Parkland school shooting victims to Millennial political candidates, the youth of America are speaking up.  And, significantly, they accept the scientific consensus on climate change at a much higher rate than their elders.

This is true even of young evangelicals, as the existence of the Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA) attests.  YECA is a ministry of the Evangelical Environmental Network that aims to mobilize students, influence religious leaders and pressure lawmakers into passing legislation to address climate change. I met Diego at a climate change discussion event on campus that was organized by Chelsey Geisz, a Wheaton junior and a YECA climate leadership fellow.

From Colorado Springs, Colorado, Chelsey, 20, always loved nature, she told me as we sat together in a gazebo in Adams Park, near campus. She’d taken a few classes on sustainability at Wheaton, and last year spent time working at Eighth Day Farm in Holland, Michigan, where Christian volunteers have turned the dirt once trapped below strip mall pavement into garden plots to grow vegetables for the hungry. These experiences meant she was primed when she heard about YECA.

Though non-partisan, YECA is targeting conservatives, since that’s where the facts of climate change have failed to lead to action. According to the organization, they’ve engaged more than 10,000 young evangelicals so far. Along with Chelsey, there are another half-dozen fellows at other schools across the country, helping to build the grassroots movement. The fellowship includes a summer training session that covers the science of climate change, as well as the socio-cultural and religious aspects of the issue. As a YECA fellow, Chelsey organizes campus events such as the session I attended in September and she serves as Wheaton’s executive vice president of campus sustainability, a new position that YECA helped develop.

It can be tough to be an evangelical who cares about climate change, Chelsey said, “because the environmental activists don’t trust you and the evangelicals hate you.” Or they could hate you; she was quick to point out that the evangelicals she knows personally are generally tolerant of her views. “I’m not encountering anyone at Wheaton, even among my most conservative friends, who disagree with climate change,” she told me. She’s having some trouble with her father, though, who’s troubled by her YECA work. He holds a Harvard law degree, works at a company that invests in resource-rich properties, and associates Chelsey’s transformation into a “climate activist” with a liberal agenda he finds suspect. “For a man who has such well-reasoned opinions, I just feel like there’s so much emotion for him that it’s not about the science at all,” she said.

As for liberals themselves, Chelsey said, some of them do treat evangelicals like her with some suspicion. After all, aren’t evangelicals the ones who elected anti-environment Trump?

“I think there’s some misunderstanding about what our faith compels us to do,” she said as the sun set behind her, creating a halo around the edges of her auburn hair.

  Praising Natural Systems

Sean Lyon is a recent Wheaton graduate who was also a YECA fellow while he was in school. He feels that he was born to love the natural world; his first word as an infant was “bird,” after all, and flying creatures remain a passion he can’t quite explain. While in school, he created his own interdisciplinary major of biology and business and spent significant time in Tanzania working with ECHO East Africa, a faith-based sustainable agriculture organization. He still lives in the town of Wheaton, easy commuting distance to Chicago, where he’s volunteering at the Field Museum of Natural History.

Sean, 23, grew up in upstate New York, among “classic North American white evangelicals,” where climate was not a concern and politics were conservative. But his love of the natural world shifted his perspective. He saw heaven on earth, and something worth saving, in every wingbeat he witnessed.

“Every ecosystem carries His creativity in it,” Sean said, “and every species is a mark of His design.” He had a thick brass bangle encircling his wrist, and blue eyes behind clear Lucite-rimmed glasses. Sean drew an analogy to his sister and grandparents, who are all artists. “So how would I treat the art that they created? If I love them, then I’m going to treat their art well. I’m not going to deface it. I’m not going to ignore it. I’m going to really honor it. And so when I see my God as having created everything that I’m interacting with, I want to honor it because that’s a way that I can show my love for this Creator.”

But God didn’t just create singular works, Sean said; he created systems, natural systems that every living being relies on. He hoped that all Christians—no, he corrected himself, all faiths—would unite to protect those systems.

“That’s my current prayer.”

  ‘Structural Sin’

Climate science isn’t questioned at Wheaton College the way it often is in the wider evangelical community. The school is a brick-and-mortar rebuttal to the myth that science and religion must be at odds with each other. When Wheaton students step into their-state-of-the-art science building, for instance, they are greeted with signs stating that a “sound Biblical theology gives us a proper basis for scientific inquiry,” and a display featuring locally excavated Perry the Mastodon, which carbon dating shows to be more than 13,000 years old.

The school is not alone in intertwining commitments to love God and protect the earth, often referred to as “creation care.” The Cape Town Commitment, a global agreement between evangelical leaders from nearly 200 countries, includes acknowledgement of climate change and how it will hurt the world’s poor (and it is required reading for Wheaton freshmen). Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University and an evangelical, has been an outspoken advocate for climate action. And in addition to YECA, there are numerous groups active in this arena, including the Evangelical Climate Initiative, Climate Caretakers, Care of Creation and A Rocha.

In late 2015, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE)—the biggest umbrella group of evangelicals in the country, representing 43 million Americans—issued a statement accepting climate change, acknowledging the human contribution to it and encouraging action. YECA’s advocacy helped bring that statement, called “Loving the Least of These,” into being. In it, NAE argues that Christians should be compelled to care about climate change as a matter of social justice, equating those without the resources to adapt to failed farming or dry wells or rising seas as the modern-day equivalents of the widows and orphans of Jesus’s day.

When Chelsey reads the Bible, she hears this gospel of social justice, too.

“Instead of talking about climate change,” she said of her work as a YECA fellow, “I talk about environmental justice. There’s definitely a guilty complex, especially among the white evangelical community, about how complicit we’ve been, and apathetic. People really want to redeem that.”

Chelsey’s framing reveals that she is steeped in a liberal arts ethos friendly to intersectionality, the idea that humanity’s ills, which disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, cannot be conquered until root causes are addressed. This perspective is shaping academic dialogue in both secular and faith-based schools.

But does fighting climate change detract from evangelism? Here there’s a rift within the evangelical community. Should the emphasis be on saving souls or saving God’s creation? And are the two really at odds?

“That’s the Billy Graham evangelicalism,” Chelsey said of the personal salvation perspective, referencing Wheaton’s most famous alumnus. “It’s your faith between you and Jesus.” But the problem with that approach, she said, is that it doesn’t force Christians to deal with larger systems of injustice. “The evangelical community is really limited when it comes to talking about systemic and structural sin rather than individual sin. Most of us have never heard about systemic racism and climate change in church,” she said. Even as evangelical organizations embrace the need for action, the message isn’t coming across from the pulpit. “These things never come up because they’re apparently not gospel issues,” Chelsey said, “But at Wheaton, we think they are.”

For Sean, there’s not one speck of conflict between his love of God and the gospel and his fierce desire to see action on climate change. They’re complementary, he said.

“If you focus too much on only a personal relationship being the core tenet of your faith, then it means that you’re more easily able to marginalize topics like human suffering, which in some cases is spurred by climate change,” he said. “We are embodied creatures in this planet, so let’s live like we are.”

Could his concern for the climate be a threat to his faith? I asked him.

“Actually, I see more of a threat in the idea that we can divorce our lives on this earth and the lives of other people and the lives of other creatures from our life of faith,” Sean said. Better to revel in God’s love. “How much deeper and how much more beautiful is a way of loving Him that involves my whole being and the whole world around me rather than just simply the status of my soul?”

  When Pro-Life Means Entire Lives

Abortion was the entry point into American politics for many evangelicals, after the Supreme Court affirmed abortion rights in Roe v. Wade in 1973. Before that, evangelicals were generally unconcerned about abortion rights, which had the uncontroversial support of Republicans; they were also generally disengaged from voting. Today, the single-issue anti-abortion preoccupation of many evangelicals, now considered a given by many political leaders, confounds some of the young evangelicals I met at Wheaton.

“If we say we’re pro-life, we have to care for people who are experiencing incredible environmental degradation and so directly affected by climate change,” Chelsey said. “If we’re pro-life, that’s a bigger issue to me than abortion.”

Sean agreed. “So many people are now saying, okay, if you’re going to be pro-life you have to be pro all-of-life, lifelong pro-life, which has primarily come up in the immigration debate. If you’re pro-life, how can you be separating children from their parents?”

Diego sees it a little differently. “Abortion is definitely a deal-breaker for me,” he said, even though he said he’s not generally a one-issue voter. He echoed Sean and Chelsey to some degree, agreeing that “being pro-life doesn’t just mean being pro-life to the baby at birth. It also means the life of the mother and the life of the baby after birth.” But when he watched the 2016 presidential debates, he found himself agreeing with some of Hillary Clinton’s points … until he was appalled by what he saw as her “gung-ho” support of abortion rights. He decided he could just not get behind someone with those views.

Young evangelicals wrestle with these difficult choices in the voting booth, confronted with either/or candidates, unsure who will best represent their hopes for life on earth, all life, all of God’s creation. Right now, anti-abortion rights Christians typically have only one party to get behind. And it’s that party, represented in the White House, that is aggressively rolling back climate protections, from pulling out of the Paris climate accord to promoting coal.

  Future Powerhouse at the Polls?

Diego, Chelsey and Sean are the future. This younger generation has grown up with the realities of climate change and political polarization since they were swinging on monkey bars, and they aren’t hesitating to break rank with evangelical Baby Boomers on the issue. They remain faithful and politically conservative for the most part, but they are more concerned about a climate that they will have to live with much longer than those boomers heading into retirement. The shift aligns with a recent Pew poll that found that among Republicans, young adults were far less likely than their elders to support reliance on fossil fuels.

“Every one of the people who I’ve talked to who’s come to my events and engaged in climate issues from a Christian perspective said, ‘My parents don’t agree with me,'” Sean told me.

But even with this clear shift toward accepting climate science among young Americans, the quandary for young evangelicals in the voting booth remains.

Sean, who said he couldn’t in good conscience vote for either party, opted for Jill Stein in 2016.

Chelsey, as a busy freshman in 2016, followed in her father’s footsteps and voted for Trump.  Her father had been singularly focused on getting a Republican on the Supreme Court. Now, she hangs her head about the decision.

Diego, about to vote in his first election, grew up in a struggling, hard-working family in San Antonio. His father showed him how to mow lawns when he was six, he said.  His mother would pick up her raggedy old Bible and tell Diego, “This is what you should base all of your beliefs and all your values on. It shouldn’t be what you hear from someone on TV or C-SPAN or NPR.”

Surveys show that the way people view climate change is determined more by political affiliation, along with race and ethnicity, than by religious affiliation. So while 81 percent of white evangelicals voted for Donald Trump, it’s important to remember that about a quarter of the country’s evangelicals are not white, and it is among minority groups that the evangelical community is growing. And on the issue of climate change, Diego’s Latino background makes him part of the American demographic that is most concerned about climate change. He wonders whether his mother deliberately pushed for that “scenic route” to wake him up a little.

What are the choices for these faithful young? With church membership in decline and the Republican party in flux, how vocal these young people are could shape the future of the climate debate. If the Christian right wants to hold onto the next generation, getting right with the planet might prove as important as getting right with God.

Many concerned about the environment rally for more evangelicals to understand climate change and embrace leadership positions on the issue. “It would be a milestone if you managed to take influential evangelists—preachers—to adopt the idea of global warming, and to preach it,” Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman told the host of Hidden Brain, an NPR science show. “That would change things. It’s not going to happen by presenting more evidence, that is clear.”

And in the book The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth, renowned biologist E.O. Wilson wrote a long letter with the salutation, “Dear Pastor.” It is an urgent, heartfelt plea. “We need your help. The Creation—living Nature—is in deep trouble. Scientists estimate that … half the species of plants and animals on Earth could be either gone or at least fated for early extinction by the end of the century. A full quarter will drop to this level during the next half century as a result of climate change alone.”

These new sermons and stories are unlikely to come from older pastors and preachers, most of whom have become representatives of the Republican Party platform that doesn’t want to even acknowledge that climate change is an issue to discuss, let alone embark on the massive undertaking necessary to begin to solve it. But for the young, who will live with the catastrophic predictions that worsen with each new iteration of the UN climate report, there are new stories emerging. They are conversion stories of a new sort, springing from dirt once buried under Midwestern parking lots and held aloft on the wings of Sean’s beloved birds. Preachers and politicians seeking to keep the young religious right in their midst may need to leap past the quagmire of a questionable climate change debate and get right to the root of finding solutions for the generations that will be living into the long tomorrow of a warming planet.

Homily on the Feast Day of GK Chesterton

The impulse to pick up a pen, to write, the belief that words can make a difference -- that’s all a miracle, too.

Yesterday as we parted, Susie breezily told me that the saint of the day is Guilbert Keith Chesterton, and I said, oh … and then I walked a few more paces and was like, OH! As in GK Chesterton! You might as well have said You have to preach on … the history of Western Civilization, he’s that towering a figure.

Chesterton was a prolific writer, on many and all topics -- Christianity of course, politics, and practically all of Western Civilization. In a piece in the New Yorker a few years ago, Adam Gopnik wrote:

“Chesterton is one of that company of writers whom we call Edwardian (though they stretch back to the last years of Victoria), a golden generation that emerged in the eighteen-nineties with personas seeming as fully formed as the silent comedians of the Mack Sennett studio, complete with style, costume, and gesture. Writing in London at a time when hundreds of morning papers and as many magazines competed for copy, and where mass literacy had created a mass audience without yet entirely removing respect for intellect, they made themselves as much as they made their sentences. We see them as we read them: Shaw all crinkled, beaming rationality, Kipling beetle-browed, bespectacled imperial intensity. Chesterton embodied the hearty side of mysticism, cape thrown across his shoulders, broad-brimmed hat on his head and sword-stick at his side, a hungry Catholic Pentagruel [a Pentagruel is one of the giants in Rabelais’ 16th century novels] in London. The last generation of writers who had anything like the same signature presence were the Americans who first encountered television, in the fifties -- Mailer and Capote and Vidal -- and for the same reason: they lent prestige to a new mass medium that hadn’t yet learned how easily it could get along without them.”

Here’s a picture of him, by the way -- you see why the description as “a hungry Catholic Pentagruel.”

(In one of his aphorisms, he said, disdainfully, “Americans are the people who describe their use of alcohol and tobacco as vices.” Also, another funny exchange -- he was very much known for his humor -- was with his friend Bernard Shaw, to whom he said “You look like you’ve been in a famine,” to which Shaw replied “You look like you caused the famine!”)

I grew up knowing about Chesterton in the same way I know about C.S. Lewis. He was a saint (small “s”) among Evangelicals, who like his stridency, dogma and confidence. Lewis was very much influenced by Chesterton and you can see it in his writing (though I’ve read more of Lewis than of Chesterton).

In particular, both share this “Idealist” philosophy or theology rather than a “materialist” one, where things of this world are shadows of The Real. They represent and point to greater realities that we can’t yet see or understand. It comes from Plato, whose men in the cave saw shadows on the wall and didn’t realize that they represented actual figures outside the cave, because they’d never been outside the cave.

I’m no philosopher, but to the extent that I understand this debate between Materialists and Idealists, which undergirds much of Western Christian theology, I’ve always considered myself a Materialist. Which places more importance on matter, or embodiment, as the starting point (and crucial component of) consciousness.

And yet, and yet, whenever I read Lewis, I’m very much drawn to his desperate longing for a world outside this one, a world more real and more permanent than what we now know, and a world that the things of this world merely point to. I feel silly saying this in this room of older, wiser people than I, but I think getting older and experiencing more of the shortcomings and limitations of this world makes the idea that what we know here is but a pale shadow of the real more appealing.

Any case, Chesterton is a fairly new saint in our tradition. Since 2012, he’s been considered for sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church, which would make him the first English saint canonized in 300 years! Their standards are little different from ours. Their saints have to have performed two miracles, and (with all respect to our Catholics in this room, I find this a bit odd) one of those miracles was recently accepted. A couple somewhere petitioned Chesterton for a child, and they then conceived.

If you want to think in terms of miracles, I think it’s enough of a miracle that this man wrote so prodigiously, and works that profoundly shaped culture Christianity for almost a century -- continue to. For that matter, the impulse to pick up a pen, to write, the belief that words can make a difference -- that’s all a miracle, too.

I want to end with another Chesterton gem, quoted in Gopnick’s piece in the New Yorker. Chesterton had a lot to say about children, and thought very highly of their conflation of the real and the imaginary.

“Most of the inconveniences that make men swear or women cry are really sentimental of imaginative inconveniences -- things altogether of the mind. For instance, we often hear grown-up people complaining of having to hang about a railway station and wait for a train. Did you ever hear a small boy complain of having to hang about a railway station and wait for a train? No; for to him to be inside a railway station is to be inside a cavern of wonder and a palace of poetical pleasures. Because to him the red light and the green light on the signal are like a new sun and a new moon. Because to him when the wooden arm of the signal falls down suddenly, it is as if a great king had thrown down his staff as a signal and started a shrieking tournament of trains. I myself am of a little boys’ habit in this matter. [Notice the riff on Milton here:] They also serve who only stand and wait for the two fifteen.”

Amen to that.

And so today we remember and give thanks for a man whose life and words did make a difference.
