It is notable that both the US and Russia signaled intent to lock down cryptocurrencies prior to the largest potential military conflict since World War II. These things are rightly being seen as weapons with national security implications. Finally.

And a bit of insight into comparable moves on the Russia side.

And a word to crypto bros: your thing just got shut down. It may take a little bit to notice it’s dead, but it’s dead. You challenge the sovereignty and national security of the US, you lose. That was always going to be so. The only question was timing. That time has arrived.
And sure, maybe the sideshow of misfit technologies nobody really wants will continue on for a while. But take away the unregulated casino full of NPC cultists, and its value as a Fifth Column info/social/monetary warfare operation and its just less fun, amirite?

1/🚨 The Jan6 attack, crypto, and Putin's efforts in Ukraine are part of one unified conflict: between democracies and the rule of law; and rule by capital, energy interests, and organized crime.

This conflict will determine what kind of world we will live in.
2/As we have seen, there are plenty of Americans who are willing to undermine our institutions, attack the rule of law, harm our national currency and ability to manage money — and also side with a brutal dictator trying to crush a democratic sovereign state. This mindset...
3/goes back to before the US Civil War. Each generation renders a new version of it, but it's the same network: people obsessed with gold, property, and gaining as much of it as possible so as to subjugate others.

1/This situation with Joe Rogan has been brewing a long time, btw. Here is a document from 2012 that cites him, with Vince In The Bay, as a media source for followers of a long-running culture jamming effort with links to Anonymous and Occupy.

2/Occupy, Anonymous, Gamergate, Ethersec, Game23, Project89, Cicada 3301, all have points of overlap that one can lose a lot of sleep trying to dissect; don’t bother. But there is a long running effort to do culture jamming, in the discordian tradition. Result: culture jammed.
3/And yeah it’s all wrapped up in banking, cryptocurrency, masculine vs. feminine primacy; Tyler Durden and neo-fash ideas; “evolution” and eugenics; and yeah, Joe Rogan stuff.

1/Folks need to understand that the biggest danger posed by cryptocurrencies are NOT criminal activity, ransomware, or money-laundering, though important.

By far, the biggest concern is social radicalization and the potential for financial and societal instability caused by it.
2/It constitutes an attack against our society that organizes people into cultish social structures, and draws substantially from vulnerable communities of people. When they are rug-pulled, they will be even more radicalized into something beyond libertarianism.
3/Like Gamergate, it's just one more Bannon-esque pathway for political and ideological radicalization. All the hand-waving and web3 and decentralization nonsense is cover for herding people into "communities" of social reinforcement. One observation of the Parler community...

As folks try to get inside Putin’s head, it’s worth taking a minute to understand the White Russian Christofascist mindset of Ivan Ilyin, Putin’s favorite philosopher of the genre. Piece by Timothy Snyder.

This ties into the Black Hundreds ideology I described yesterday, and is rooted in Orthodox Christianity, the idea of reuniting the Greek/Rus/Ukr orthodox churches, and the idea of Moscow as Third Rome.

Note the overlap between Third Rome and Black Hundreds ideology.

1/This is correct, and aligns with the Duginist bent of his actions and words. "Despite his professed nostalgia for the Soviet era, Vladimir Putin’s real inspiration is not the nominally internationalist USSR but the ultra-nationalist Czarist empire."
atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
2/For a glimpse into this, look into this Dugin-Romanov fest from last fall which @NPR inexplicably decided to cover with a fawning puff piece. This right here is the network of real concern, ideologically.

3/Here's a Twitter account built on this Tsarist white-supremacist ideology itching for war in Ukraine. You might consider reporting it. I did. It's still up.

Note: "Russia is sharply reducing its reserves, which are stored in dollars, said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. According to him, Washington, by its actions, itself undermines confidence in the American currency and makes it risky for international settlements."
This has been going on for a year. They are, through attacking the idea of money, the dollar, and making investments "unreal," trying to crush it. Crypto is a replay attack of the "MMM" Ponzi scheme they experienced in the 90's. So far they have not been very successful.
Meanwhile it's good to know the son of a Kremlin propagandist is working for The @WashingtonPost writing stories about "whether the market is real."
