OT.

I can't see some of GH's content and don't know enough JS to figure it out.

Tried it in Brave, and Edge but only works in Chrome.

Anyone else with the same issue?

Unca it has to be something on your end. Browser blocking bitchute where video came from

bitchute.com/video/9L33MQneeCMa/

append "www." to the link and you will see it.

Not sure why ZenForo embeds the video so that nobody can click on it and go to bitchute or copy the link from bitchute.

@pmbug might have a 'setting' in the software to fix this?
 

Thanks @Goldhedge. For some reason only your posts. Others Rumble just fine. Haven't had the time to sit and play with Brave.

Being able to find the link would greatly assist.

Golden Regards

FTX on Steroids: Is "Tether" the Biden World's Crypto BCCI? - Revolver News

Is crypto's entire infrastructure perpetuated and kept alive because unseen cabals have decided its survival is more useful than its demise?

FTX on Steroids: Is “Tether” the Biden World’s Crypto BCCI?​


Earlier this year, Protos shed light on that mystery by reporting that just two companies, Alameda Research and Cumberland Global, were responsible for seeping roughly two-thirds of all Tether into the crypto ecosystem.

Alameda Research is the quantitative trading firm founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Fried and his partner in crime, Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, allegedly propped up their trading firm by plundering FTX customer accounts.
 
One theory I'd heard, put out by Tom Luongo and his associate, Dexter White...was that FTX was just a front for Chinese manipulation.

White, on this particular podcast, suggested that Sam Brainwas Fried, and his dimbulb semen-recepticle...these two weren't anywhere near smart enough, or savvy enough, to set up the four-dimensional fraud that FTX was. It wasn't a pump-and-dump, which is a one-act play; It wasn't mere absconding with deposited crypto. It was an onion of fraud, malfeasance, and theft, layer and layer.

Those two dimbulbs couldn't possibly have thought it up by themselves. Neither could anyone in the DemocRat party, probably.

This has the intricacies of a Chinese puzzle; and probably it does represent the best minds of the Chinese Communist Party.
 


People need to understand this FTX scandal didn’t just involve the Democrats.

This is a list of every Republican that received funds also from FTX.

What other evidence do you need to see that the Uniparty exists?

A Smoldering Fuse​

We have pretty much burned our bridges at this point. Unless you’re prepared to mindfuck yourself, and gaslight yourself, and confess, and convert, there’s no going back to “normal” society (which we couldn’t go back to anyway, on account of how it doesn’t exist anymore) — CJ Hopkins

Thirty-seven billion more dollars for Ukraine? (That’s thirty-seven thousand millions of dollars, by the way.) Bringing the total this year to a click-or-two over ninety billion (ninety-thousand millions), on top of whatever Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX company funneled through that sad-sack international money laundromat — soon to be the darkest backwater of a European failed state since Field Marshal Melchior von Hatzfeldt of Westphalia left Bohemia a corpse-strewn wasteland after the Battle of Jankau (1645).

It really doesn’t matter how much more money we pound down that rat-hole, you understand, because by the time various parties — the weapons-makers, Volodymyr Zelensky, sundry members of the US House of Representatives, the Biden family, the World Economic Forum — are finished creaming off their fair shares, poor Ukraine won’t have enough cash-on-hand to replace six fuse-boxes in Zaporizhzhia.

Against this backdrop, the USA enters a holiday season near-death spiral as unspooling scandals battle a collapsing economy for supremacy of the alt news sites. Case-in-point: the aforementioned FTX monkey business, a metastasizing tumor of the body politic. This complex fraud will smolder for a few weeks before it explodes into an extinction-grade event for the Democratic Party. The usual suspects among the mainstream media are trying strenuously to ignore it, but the shreds of this exploding money-borg are already sticking to guilty parties far and wide across the political landscape like so much rotting flesh.

FTX commander-in-chief Sam Bankman-Fried remains at large after steering the crypto-currency trading platform into a bankruptcy so hideously tangled that the assigned liquidator in court proceedings, one John Ray III, who oversaw the Enron aftermath years ago, was boggled by what he’s found so far (and it’s early in the game): Namely, a company run by a handful of twenty-something drug freaks with no idea what they were doing, no record-keeping, and a slime trail of misappropriated investors’ funds leading to Kiev and Geneva through various crooked American political action committees, and the halls of Congress — with echos in ballot harvesting shenanigans which shaped the outcome of this month’s US elections.

Mr. Bankman-Fried is still scheduled as a main speaker for Accenture’s Nov. 30 DealBook Conference in New York ($2,499 for a ticket), along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Odds on him showing up? Or even being alive elsewhere on this planet then?

The Bankman-Fried extended family is the quintessence of Woke aristocracy. Dad Joe Bankman and mom Barbara Fried are both law professors at Stanford. She also acted as a money-bundler for the Democratic Party and ran two non-profit “voter registration” orgs (against the IRS laws which only permit non-partisan organized voter registration). Brother Gabe Bankman-Fried headed a non-profit named Guarding Against Pandemics (funded by Sam), which lobbies Congress to construct new platforms for medical tyranny. Aunt Linda Fried is Dean of Columbia U’s Public Health school, and is associated with Johns Hopkins, which ran the October 2019 Event 201 pandemic drill (sponsored by the Gates Foundation) months before the Covid-19 outbreak.

Sam’s girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, ran the Alameda Investments arm of the FTX empire (that is, FTX’s own money laundromat). Her dad, Glenn Ellison, is chair of MIT’s Econ School. His former colleague on the MIT Econ faculty, Gary Gensler, who specialized in blockchains there, is now head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, an agency that Sam Bankman-Fried was attempting to rope into a regulation scheme to eliminate FTX’s crypto-currency competitors. Caroline’s mom, Sara Fisher Ellison, is an MIT econ prof specializing in the pharmaceutical industry (fancy that!). Caroline Ellison is currently on-the-run.

The sum total of all this professional and academic accomplishment is also the quintessence of Woke-Jacobin turpitude in service to a political faction that seeks maximum moneygrubbing while acting to overthrow every norm of behavior in the conduct of elections, and perhaps in American life generally. That’s some accomplishment. It’s also a lesson in why the managerial elite of our country are no longer trustworthy. They have gotten away with crimes against the nation for years, which has only made them bolder and more reckless.

Wait for the FTX bankruptcy to unwind, along with all the political ramifications it entails, not to mention the financial afterburn in the whole crypto market, very likely extending into and befouling the rest of the banking system. This is going to be a clusterfuck for the ages, and will propel the USA into a depression with no visible horizon.

Excellent post. I believe you are quite correct. I keep looking at current events and cannot help thinking that we are witnessing the sacking of Rome.
 
more confirmation that controlled demolition of 'digital gold' (egad) is being carried out, as was the plan all along imo

Who Is Killing The Crypto Millionaires?​


Are some of the cryptocurrency industry’s most important pioneers being targeted by someone? We just learned that a 53-year-old cryptocurrency billionaire named Vyacheslav Taran has died, and he is the third big name to suddenly meet his maker in recent weeks.
 
Where's all those bits n bytes going if they died suddenly?
 
I remember a Disney vinyl album my grandma used to play. It had a Scrooge McDuck story on it. The plot was that Scrooge had decided to send all of his money to the moon where the Beagle Boys couldn't get it. After he sends it there he realizes he can't use it either.

Not owning anything is the surest way to avoid being robbed.

Good question. The encryption feature will undoubtedly end up causing a lot of orphaned currency. What about estate planning? How do you leave crypto to your heirs?

You tell them your password. Or leave it in the will. Obviously some risks with that.

Do you think the whales are stoopid enough to use these exchanges as storage locations?

REMEMBER: NONE of the LameStreaMedia including FOX ever mention his parents both well connected in political circles.
This tells me there was pressure for anyone watching to look they other way while this venture was being created , expanding, and manipulated.
Especially now that it is being reported funds were finding their way into political hands and used to advance "A" political party, Leftist Democrats.
 
the fact that this (criminal) is still walking around free.....and giving speeches, no less -- reveals that (communists) in nyc/dc support what (it) did or dont want to mess with what could be an agent of the (int'l banker), sent in to do demolish the private crypto markets

while january 6 trespassers rot in jail for misdemeanor crap

Is losing your paper-billions on stolen crypto, gonna make you more enthusiastic about CBDCs, or less?

This is the worst of all systems. Trackable chits; limitless fiat; government control, with government's own priorities to advance.
