You don't know how true this is!
I started going grey at 16, at 20, people thought I was 34, and at fifty-something, people think I am in my late 30's, and I feel as fit as when I was 21.

I believe Robin Cook was justified in resigning his Cabinet post under Tony Blair; he was on the right lines. A political party is a complex machine, composed of councillors, activists, MPs, and ordinary members. I hold that everyone who willingly participated in keeping the party machine running under Blair, while aware of his actions, shares some moral culpability.
However, I would exclude Jeremy Corbyn from such culpability; he consistently used his position to speak out in the strongest possible terms against Blair. Incidentally, Corbyn received more general election votes than Starmer. While I am politically a very long way from Corbyn and disagree with most of his social and economic policies, I recognise his basic integrity--something that seems lacking in the post-Blair era.
Labour has yet to genuinely become heirs to government; they are where they are today largely due to the failures of the 'Conservatives', whose name is unearned, as it no longer represents their behaviour, only their rhetoric.

Benjamin Franklin would be turning in his grave at the thought of his likeness being inscribed on central bank fiat currency; the Founding Fathers were unequivocal in their stance on what should constitute money, and fiat dollars were certainly not it.

Video was filmed in the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province on August 27 2021.
Fifteen unfinished buildings, which stood for seven years, were demolished at the same time and sent a large cloud of smoke into the air.
Authorities decided to take action because the buildings had been abandoned for a long time and the basements were submerged in rain water.
The total demolition area, measured by total floorspace and number of buildings, were reportedly the largest for a one-time demolition in China.
Presumably built for "investment purposes". Chinese apparently like to invest in assets that can be made in almost unlimited quantities.

Voting lends legitimacy to the regime and the system; by participating, you’re supporting candidates who have already been vetted by the establishment.
However, if you don’t vote, the regime’s mouthpieces will claim that the electorate 'doesn't care' or that 'voters are apathetic,' when in fact the opposite may be true.
A better approach might be to cast a ballot but select 'none of the above'. This forces the system to recognise that the electorate is not apathetic, but rather considers the system itself to be illegitimate.

This reminds me of the invasion of Iraq, which brought 2 million people (mostly British) onto the streets of London, marching in solidarity against the war. The lies and deceit leading up to that invasion were glaringly obvious. Service personnel lost their lives, not for some noble cause, but seemingly to enrich a few oligarchs. Tony Blair, for instance, is now quite wealthy--and not from a Prime Minister's salary.
I might have minded it less if they had at least been honest.

How many bodies?
How many crematoria were there?
For how long is this alleged to have happened?
How long does it take to cremate a body in one of those crematoria?
With a little junior school math, we can determine if the allegations have substance.
I believe some people made such calculations and who are now defamed and pilloried by various organisations.

While I agree that the effect you speak of is real, it is not all-encompassing and does not negate the most important aspects of Bitcoin. If we were on the gold standard, the government could contract to pay in gold, and that would still restrain government. So, I don’t think this is something to be afraid of

Maybe your right to peaceful enjoyment can be considered as property. In which case, the owner of the car is destroying your property.
That would balance your right over his car.

Transactions do not negate Bitcoin’s value as money outside traditional control. Also, the State is not a monolith – it consists of various entities with different goals and levels of influence. Assuming uniformity in government action oversimplifies reality. It is worth considering these nuances when evaluating Bitcoin’s role and value.
If we consider the regime's control of the money supply, which, through inflation, funds foreign wars and expands the regime's control, the contrast between Bitcoin and fiat currencies becomes stark.

Rooted in European heritage, yet bound by the chains of modern power, both Europe and America struggle under a transformed dominion. The ideals of freedom -- once enshrined in the American Constitution -- are overshadowed by the same forces they sought to escape. As the storm looms, will we recognise that we are, and as Europeans have for hundreds of years been, subjects, not beneficiaries, of this evolved power?
Once we appreciate this, we can understand why Satoshi.

The irony for Europeans today is profound. The ordinary European feels the grip of power structures -- once embodied by royal families and banking dynasties -- now evolved into global corporations and financial elites.
The American Constitution was a defiant stand by Europeans to break away from this dominion; sound money and the rejection of a central bank were central to this vision. Yet, with the rise of the Federal Reserve and fiat currency, that very dominion has found a foothold in America, capturing the freedoms once fought for. Now, in a globalised world, we Europeans on either side of the Atlantic must recognise that we are subjects, not beneficiaries, of this metamorphosed monster that has overturned the Constitution.

While this question often trips up people and AI alike, I’m certain the Native Americans were well aware of their own land before Columbus arrived.
As a European, I don't inherently oppose a Eurocentric view; however, it's crucial to acknowledge the 'hidden knowledge' that challenges mainstream narratives. Just as Native Americans faced dispossession, we Europeans now find ourselves in a globalised world where our culture is often seen as a blank canvas for others to shape.

BREAKING NEWS🔥🔥
Starmer has given the go ahead for PROSECUTORS and 'Community Leaders' to get honours from the King in a streamlined process over response to disorder.
@GuidoFawkes
reports:
"Starmer has instructed civil servants to find “community leaders” who “made sure targeted groups felt safe” and members of the public who showed “community spirit.” Departments are also told to consider public sector workers who went “above and beyond” in their response to the unrest."
