Our financial system is totally not 100% corrupt or anything. Anyone who thinks that is a nutter.
"But the bond purchasing programs in particular have few restrictions on executive compensation, on buybacks, on layoffs or offshoring of labor, on payments to private equity owners, etc."
This is a robbery. 🚨🚨🚨
"Ramamurti has sent Powell a letter, “to respectfully request that the Fed publicly release detailed and timely information about each individual transaction” made under the lending programs."
"The Fed has shown no inclination to release any information about its activities."

In late August, I was selected to be on a jury for a 10-day trial. It was heavy stuff (child sexual abuse amongst other things).
It’s never convenient to be on a jury like this, but given the severity of the case I gladly served.
Testimony was very hard to sit through at times, but seeing the young children bravely face their abuser in court was moving. I found the entire process fascinating and the deliberations went a lot smoother and intelligently than I thought they would.
Only real negative was the last couple of days they stuffed all of us into a tiny windowless room with terrible ventilation. We lost one juror and had to replace with an alternate. Nobody else wanted to drop out and people were pretty sick in there.
I greatly appreciate the interviews @joerogan has done recently, but am very disappointed in the video he released last night. It reminded me of Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primary when he decided to start pandering to people that hate him, as opposed to those who support him.
I hope Joe understands that no amount of pandering or bending the knee will change the opinion of his adversaries who want nothing less than a one-opinion society. What @joerogan does cannot be allowed in their minds because alternative views on big topics cannot be permitted.
Nobody who supports @joerogan wants disclaimers before his covid shows, especially if CNN and other mockingbird media don’t have to do the same as they segregate society and push medical experiments on children 24/7.
The human being has largely become a domesticated animal, and it’s imperative going forward that we become undomesticated.
Will take a few generations, but the work starts now.
A domesticated creature will not crave freedom and wouldn’t even know how to handle it if it did.
That’s where we’re at as a species, and as conscious creatures it’s up to us to remove this conditioning and embrace the expansive experiences we’ve discarded. Reject pod life.
Personally, I am a very domesticated creature, mainly due to how I grew up and the culture that raised me. But I’m disgusted by the extent of this domesticity and am working on moving in the opposite direction.
Short thread about @untappedgrowth and some of the difficulties he has recently encountered with some bad actors. Joel first came to my attention over a year ago, before the cattle co-op and before anyone reading this knew who he was.
He reached out to me, as so many other people do, but there was something different about this guy and it was apparent to me right away. There was this passion you rarely see in people and I immediately felt a need to help him in whatever way I could. We became friendly.
As the months rolled on, we continued to talk over twitter and along with that obvious passion, I began to see deep integrity and vision. And then he went public with his cattle co-op idea. To say I was inspired would be an understatement.
We teach our kids to question everything, including us as parents.
I like it when they ask me why I told them to do something. There should be a reason and I should be able to explain it clearly and understandably.
Our oldest understands that we are in a position of authority over him and I have explained to him why that is. He understands and can explain it back to me. This way he isn’t taught to blindly accept authority. He’s 5 and he understands.
Think about where this leads and why it’s not taught.
So papa, why does the state have authority over me?
One of the people is the infamous Richard Stengel @stengel, who publicly advocated for U.S. government propaganda aimed at its own people.
Here's the relevant clip.
According to The Hill, "Stengel will be on the agency for global media." An admitted propagandist on the agency for global media. Of course, this is deliberate.
One of the other people moving to Biden admin from MSNBC is Rahm Emmanuel's brother, Ezekiel Emanuel. All good.
