  1. Thanks for all your support.
  2. It's sad to see such naivety expressed. Listen up. Those vaccinations produced in the 60's and 70's actually WORKED AS ADVERTISED. That's how the diseases were eradicated from society. The vaccinations for covid don't work. At all. That's why covid is still making the rounds despite national vaccination rates of over 80-90%, while Smallpox and other diseases are long gone.
  3. Oh, because GOOGLE says so? You are so gullible, which is also another group of defective voters that went hard for Obama.
  4. The amount of propaganda in this thread is breathtaking. It really is true, the very first casualty in any war is the truth. What did Churchill say again about the truth? "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
  5. We seem to be alternating between denial and a shoulder shrug. Someone once told me of a third option: be prepared, not scared. This guy is loading up on liquidity as he has paid off debts. He expects to buy land and assets off of people going bankrupt for pennies on the dollar. Apparently this is how the wealthy think. Anyway, here’s an update on that Swiss bank. They lost another 1.something billion in the last quarter. I guess it’s time to go, cap in hand, to the US Fed or Biden Admin for another hand out. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/23/credit-suisse-projects-1point6-billion-fourth-quarter-loss.html https://www.trustnodes.com/2022/10/14/fed-swaps-9-billion-to-swiss-national-bank-bail-out-for-credit-suisse
  6. Sometimes at night I can hear the ice crack
    It sounds like thunder and it rips through my back
    Sometimes in the morning I still hear the sound
    Ice meets metal
    Can't you drive me down?

  7. I just read this, it’s quite a list: Trump is running. Florida completely red. Elon took over Twitter. majority in the Supreme Court. Control of the House. roe v. Wade overturned. republicans win popular vote. Nancy Pelosi fired. Cheer up, we are winning. Can’t get rid of the rot overnight.
  8. Trump staying off of Twitter is an important and strategic move, imho. First, having two social media platforms which are friendly to Trump and Trump supporters is never a bad thing. But by staying off Twitter, it allows for anti Trumpers who are changing their minds, a place that is familiar(Twitter) in which to do so. Some would never join if Trump is there, so brainwashed are they. And the ones that are leaving merely at the decision to reinstate Trump’s Twitter account need to leave anyway to help change the atmosphere on that site. Musk is really doing good things on Twitter.

  10. Not the end of the world, the beginning of a brave new era. Just like the run up to the crash of 2008, the powers that be keep applying band aid solutions that won’t last. They are trying to stave off the inevitable. 2008 came whether they wanted it to or not. To anybody reading this, watch the movie, The Big Short. Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt tell a fascinating tale. And what you are experiencing is the intake of breath before the plunge. We live in exciting times.
  11. Does anyone else feel like they need a new hobby?

      Twitter is a blast for a change. Lefty meltdowns all around and nobody is listening to their demands.

      I’ve started a new activity that has gotten me outside a lot more.  The weather has cooperated, and the fresh air has been great.  
      Glad to see Twitter’s changes, but getting away from screens and phones is a good idea.

  12. Nothing to see here, eyeball. Less freighter ships coming from China, and Amazon is laying off thousands in the run up to Christmas shopping season. FTX just went bankrupt. Just keep jigging and crab potting, brother...
  13. Why don’t you check into it yourself, don’t you have access to google? It was both. When corporations go bankrupt, assets get seized, including money. So last July, Voyager Digital went bankrupt. 3 Arrows Did as well. Now FTX has failed. Then consider that Bitcoin’s stock was around $68,000 last November and is at 16,671 today. It’s lost 75% of its value. The word is that Ukraine was a big investor in FTX. And FTX was a big donator to Dems in the midterms. And guess where Ukraine got its money from? The US government.
  14. Because people with credit cards and savings accounts are reporting that experience. I could have added that this is in the US, with its much different banking system. But people did have their crypto accounts drained and or locked out. This is a significant event…
  15. Update on the hack. 1 billion disappeared. Banks appear to be on the hook. People like you and me reporting that their CC transactions are being refused and others saying their savings account now says zero. Monday will be interesting.
  16. Since this thread is supposed to be about Bitcoins, etc, I suppose a certain hack theft should be noted. On top of the fact that Bitcoin is now around 16k after falling from a high of over 60k last November. A 75% drop in a year. Anyway, here’s the theft: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/11/12/ftx-ceo-john-ray-confirms-late-night-hack-says-company-is-working-with-law-enforcement/?outputType=amp Crypto exchange FTX’s new CEO, John Ray, took to Twitter Saturday to confirm that FTX, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday and its U.S. subsidiary, FTX US, were hacked last night in an attack that drained hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto out of the exchanges’ wallets.
  17. Oh neat. Another useless cherry picking post. Hopefully you don’t actually believe this drivel…
  18. Well that’s pretty heavy handed. Perhaps you could link to where this was said if you’re so adamant about it. All those Canadians who lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates would suggest a conspiracy to force people to knuckle under, when we’ve been taught all our lives in Canada ‘my body my choice’. Which obviously demonstrates the double standard pushed by our government, because either it is my body my choice or it isn’t. And stats clearly show that if you compare all deaths nation wide or world wide, in years before Covid to the Pandemic years, no jump in deaths occurred in 2020 or 2021. Plus, nations like India and several in Africa successfully fought off Covid waves using alternative medicines, and this happy news WAS suppressed by media around the world. And disputed, and ‘fact checked’, but the raw numbers, or what we call the science, clearly demonstrated the success. Drugs like Ivermectin were and are helpful against Covid. Horse Dewormer, the media shrieked. Yet Ivermectin’s use on humans won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 for the saving of human lives. But that’s suppressed because it goes against the narrative. Same with how useless masks were. Useless, but they made you feel safer, like a security blanket. But they don’t stop the virus, it’s too small and gets sucked right through the masks most people were wearing. Yet I see people today, walking around outside alone, wearing non N95 masks because they believe in a conspiracy theory. Want another conspiracy theory? Our government was saying you should still get a vaccine even if you already had Covid and carry the antibodies. Because the vax would still protect you more than your own antibodies. That us out and out bull sh*t. But you won’t believe in antibody protection because you’d rather believe in a conspiracy theory.
  19. You don’t have any idea what’s going on with Bitcoin? I’m not sure on that either, but if it’s anything like the stock markets, the words greed and Ponzi scheme probably have something to do with it. My brother-in-law is in real estate. Property values are going to lose value, but if it’s paid off or one doesn’t have to renew the mortgage for a couple of years, then life should be good.
  20. You two chuckleheads obviously need some entertainment. I’ll give you a topic: Bitcoin has dropped 20% percent this week alone. It peaked at 68,000 a year ago. What do think is going on with Bitcoin? Will it hurt any pension plan you are/have contributed to? Discuss.
  21. Yeah, I mentioned that incident(or tried to) on page one of this thread. It’s obvious our federal government favours China. Their government kidnapped 2 Canadians and Canada’s response with the Huawei executive incident proves this. And our media soft petals anything to do with both China or our Liberal government. And most Canadians have lost the ability to detect this. Its a sad state of affairs.
  22. Voting day in the US.  Vote early and vote often!

  23. NB may be ‘the canary in the coal mine’. Everybody is smiling(or, doesn’t care) because their media isn’t raising the alarm, or really even covering this. When you really consider it, it’s quite impressive how completely programmed people are. Gas prices, food and such have all been rising, and those at the bottom of the economic ladder are really hurting. I’ve never seen so many homeless in our town, and most people couldn’t care less because, 1) The media they consume is covering trans, environmentalism and Covid. 2)it isn’t hurting them yet.
  24. At least the Biden defenders can’t even defend his latest idiocy…
  25. What? Our media finally has woken up? I don’t believe it. Let’s see if this is still a story in 2 weeks. China has how many police stations on Canadian soil? China also had soldiers on Canadian soil, training or some such thing. Chinese nationals were doing top secret bio work in Canadian labs that have the highest level of risk. And they took their results back to their government, with no repercussions. Lets see if our wimpy bought for media(Covid money straight from Federal government) remembers how to investigate…
