Douglas Murray vs Douglas Murray. 😂😂

I have had reservations about Douglas Murray for a while. But watching the debate on Joe Rogan with the extremely smart and well informed Dave Smith it all came into focus. 

Murray is part of the old system. The old world order that is now collapsing. In the past he could get by on dirty tricks, using ad hominem, attacking straw men, playing semantic games. And of course relying on his British accent to create the illusion of respectability particularly when his arguments were lacking. 

But not anymore. Both Smith and Rogan were able to call out his bullshit and it was so plain to see for the millions of us that witnessed the debate. The comments on you tube were very telling. 

Murray now seems nothing more than a grifter. Part of a political establishment that has had its day and cannot compete with the rising tide of consciousness embodied by men with integrity like Dave Smith, Ian Carroll and Joe Rogan . The light exposes all and the truth is becoming ever clearer.

I dunno they’re doubling down. But it’s only gonna make things worse for them imo. And particularly for European citizens.

Matthew Kratter’s take on ‘economist’ Gary Stevenson

It’s nice to see Kratter’s view on Gary’s neo Marxism echo my own. 😎

And here was my post on the same subject.  🙏

Saverio’s BTC Power Law Market Recap 02/28/2025

I’m interested in the psychology of the haters. Stevenson clearly hasn’t studied Bitcoin. He appears to conflate it with crypto and to be completely unaware of the ethos behind it. However is there another deeper reason why he is against it?

He often espouses Marxist ideas. He always talks about the necessity of taxing the rich as the main way to reduce inequality and that the narrative being pushed by many to explain current economic woes is immigration. 

I don’t agree with either point personally but I can’t help feeling that he is being deliberately deceptive. That he doesn’t really believe what he is saying. 

Do leftists, socialists, marxists etc,  intrinsically have an aversion to Bitcoin because it is a free market invention? 

Do Bitcoin haters often hold an unconscious leftist perspective? 

In the case of Stevenson could it be that he is just a paid shill for the political establishment. I’ve seen him on the BBC so it’s not an unreasonable question. 

You would think that if the left genuinely wanted to reduce inequality, bring people out of poverty and create a better society that they would embrace Bitcoin. However all Stevenson has to say on Bitcoin is that it’s gambling and it’s going to zero.

Why Do Some People Hate Bitcoin - Gary Stevenson

ideasfromtheedge

I’ve got here two screen grabs from Facebook that I believe indicate a shift in the consciousness of the masses. 

The Daily Mail is pushing a propaganda narrative attempting to make us fearful of an impending new coronavirus pandemic. 

What is so interesting is the reaction from the most people who are clearly not buying it. 4700 people simply laughing at it with only 1200 seemingly taking it seriously.

A picture says a thousand words - Propaganda on Facebook

I’ve just watched a clip of USAIDs Iraqi Sesame Street…that they spent apparently $20m on. It’s wild…😩

The USAID story got me thinking. 

There are two types of personalities that have become so obvious in recent times. 

There are those people that see immorality, deception and corruption and seek to expose it. 

Then there are those who are in the habit of turning a blind eye and in the end become unable to see it. 

The inevitable conflict between these two groups is very prominent in political discourse. 

science

Ian Plimer is worth listening to. I’ve also listened to Richard Lindzen and Judith Curry recently who are also in opposition to the climate ‘catastrophe’ narrative. There’s over 1500 scientists at this point who have signed the World Climate Declaration.

I now run a node and a private telegram for local bitcoiners. I’m definitely interested in learning the above and potentially offering those services in the future.

Orange Man's Orange Pilling Silver Lining?

In my town there is still no bitcoin merchants. I did talk to a guy the other day who is starting a new business and he is open to bitcoin and even owns some. But he doesn’t know about lightning or how he could accept BTC payments so I’m hoping to put together the information for him. Hope I don’t f it up!

Have we just seen a ‘Trump dump’ ?! 😂 

nostr

Journalist Ian Carroll has joined Nostr!! 😊

This is great news imo. Ian is one of the best young journalists I’ve seen recently. 

He tells it as it is but doesn’t black pill people and he already has a big following on X and Tik Tok. And his talks @OldStateSaloon have been incredible. 

This is very bullish for decentralised social media. 

Ian explains below why Nostr is so important.

Joe Rogan's Prediction That L.A. Would Burn

Rothbardian_fanatic

Totally agree. But I’d add that with some of the fires we have seen in recent years for example in Maui it feels like there was also an element of intent.
