I'm finishing this thread here, since twitter has locked me from appending to it:
ok, there were supposed to be about 10 more tweets here.

they disappeared. trying again one, by one:
Quick note on "Fractional Reserve" banking. They set the rules like: "for every 1 dollar a bank possesses in vaults they can loan out 10 dollars." The federal reserve also sets the interest rates. People say we are now on a "infinite reserve" system Image
Japan's 1980s crash was triggered by the BIS (central bank of central banks)
The BIS mandated that all central banks have raise the reserves for lending. Countries that had low reserves had to sell stocks to increase their reserves. This is what happened in Japan causing their economic crash as they scrambled to pull in cash to meet the reserve req's. Image
Anyway, the legacy of Banking families (interlinked with marriages and such) is very much what explains the world today. There is a direct link between banking dynasties and the Nonprofit archipelago (think: Carnegie Endowment, Pew Charitable, Rockefeller Foundation, et al Image
Here is Dodd Frank (interviewed by Edward G Griffin author of "Creature from Jekyll Island" btw) on Tax exempt organizations in the US (if you want a sampling start at 25:52 mark here)
Teddy Roosevelt also warned about Central Bankers before his death (even though Franklin D Roosevelt oversaw the seizure of American's savings in Gold). Image
Even though he campaigned on "beating the money-changers" after he won (and at behest of the Central Bankers) he would seize the private savings of Americans (who kept their savings almost entirely in stable gold) by making GOLD ILLEGAL TO POSSESS! Image
Image
Theres lots of stuff I'll skip like Fort Knox (built to house the seized gold) and how public audits were hidden (altho required by law) And how the market price of gold was set $20.66/oz. But after everyone traded it in, they raised price to $35, & forbid citizens selling at 35 Image
One bit on this tho:

Louise Auchincloss Boyer (the longtime personal secretary of Nelson Rockefeller) anonymously leaked to the press that the Rockefellers had manipulated the Federal Reserve to allow European buyers to acquire the gold.

Age 59, she fell from her NYC apartment Image
By WW1 Russia was the last major European power that had not acquiesced to central bankers.
The bankers set out to overthrow the Czar. Thus the bankers proceeded to back Communism in an effort to consolidate/control the wealth of Russia. Putin alluded to this at the WEF in 2022
Even Lenin admitted that his version of central planning had failed, and that he was not in control of the finances, that someone else was controlling the purse strings: Image
That quote is from this book: Image
Another important nugget I learned was:

"A Market Crash can not cause a depression."

I'd never heard it stated so simply.

A depression is caused by the contraction of monetary supply and NOT a "down market". A crash only wipes out the speculators.
The common thread from Caesar to the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, Lincoln assassination, WW1 & WW2, Napoleon and even obscure stuff like "Lucky Lindy" is : the Bankers

Finance/Central Banking is the "Grand Unifying theory" of history of the West. It explains all. Image
Lucky Lindy's dad said this about the Federal Reserve: Image
Ok, thats enough for now. I tried to cite stuff in the thread, but here are some more citations. This documentary should be standard watching for every living person. I wish I'd found it decades ago. It is free on Youtube.
Image
Here is a clip from the beginning of "The Money Masters" (1996)
This documentary is amateur and long, but it is PACKED. Every few mins is a new bombshell. amazing stuff.
I'll bookend this thread the way I started it, with another clip from JFKs "Secret Societies" speech. Even though "fact-checkers" try to deboonk it. The transcript [1] and full recording [2] are available online.

The biggest international news story (no one knows about) broke in May of 1981. A radio broadcaster named Mae Brussell broke it down in real-time. Like a savant she connects dots that will COMPLETELY change how you look at history: From Watergate to JFK to Jonestown.

(🧵1 of 9)
She reveals in her broadcast that news stories we all know individually: assassination of JFK, RFK, John Lennon, Bangladesh's and Ecuador's President, attempt on Reagan, King of Spain, and Pope John Paul II are actually all connected and occurred in rapid succession

(🧵 2 of 9)
She called it "A State WITHIN a State".

Mae Brussell did all this without the benefit of decades of retrospective research, like books written today. She did it AS it happened in May of 1981.

synthesizing tons of newspaper articles and dozens of books for us.

23 years after airing, I gave BBC's "Neuromancer" a try. (I didnt want to ruin my memory of the books).

If you (re)listen today, it's amazing what holds up : use of AI, the oligarchs, political intrigue of megacorps. And (of course) first use of the word "cyberspace" (🧵1 of 5)
William Gibson wrote amazing prose, but this BBC version misses some of his more poetic details, like this favorite scene of mine. In the book, Case isnt just laughing, his cheeks are streaked with tears of release. One of my favorite scenes as a teen/young adult

The tech bits not only hold up, but the way society USES the tech does also. Amazing tech is ultimately just leveraged for surveillance, military, and hedonistic "bread and circus" for the masses. Pretty amazing to be that prescient in the first years of the 1980s.

The BBC Radio play "Medici" is a good listen. A concise history of the banking Dynasty from Cosimo and his father down through Alessandro the black (Moor) Duke of Florence, down to Catherine the "Serpent Queen" of France.

(🧵1 of 5)
The music is great and the show has small bits of historical references woven into the script for you to catch. the show also has lots of good one-liners like:

"you have ancient blood and modern hopes"
"you carry your own end within you"
"take time for your revenge"

(🧵2 of 5)
The show also gives the historical timeline in a clever way: by reading off P&L statements so the listener gets an idea of the size of the Medici wealth relative to other European powers, families, and rulers.

Metatron reference in "Gravity's Rainbow".

once again: Thomas Pynchon, way ahead of the pack.

Pynchon books are parapolitical periscopes. Deep-politics and hidden-history masquerading as fiction. Image

It just came out that the CCP hacked a buncha U.S. voting systems in 2020. U.S. Intel knew it and hid it from the public! This should be the biggest new story but:

Media: Crickets
Intel community: Crickets
Infosec folks: Crickets

See? this is why I dont f*ck wit yall no more. Image
Image
Also, the CIA has since retracted 19 fake "election" intelligence reports

I was always proud of being in the Infosec community.

It was always based on TRUTH. Information Freedom Fighters. an exploit cuts past marketing and noise. it is a PROOF of reality

We are post-TRUTH and post-REALITY in Infosec. Covid and political crap proved this to me

The official logo of OPERATION Warpspeed that quickly deployed the coronavirus shots, had a strangely occult symbol in it, called the Antahkarana.

Anti-corona. Antekarana.

That antekarana looks curiously like something else also... (🧵 1 of 12) Image
The repeating Antekarana looks suspiciously like the "Greek Key" or "Meander" pattern found in lots of Greek and Roman architecture and Greek pottery (amphoras, wine flagons, etc).

A variation of Greek Key called "Enigma" is also on the seats of the US Capitol.

(🧵 2 of 12) Image
If that pattern on the seats at the US Capitol look (to you) curiously like something else, you are not alone ;-)
