Stop evading your bans and appeal for your ban like everybody else. you are not better than anybody, you are a man like several billion men living on earth.

Sorry but not all men are created equal. Yours is the SJW egalitarianism mayonnaise which I wrote about in my post on the prior page of this thread. Westerners are stuck in that ideological shit which is going to drag them back down to a third world clusterfuck if someone doesnt press the abort switch. And Bitcoin was precisely created to destroy egalitarianism, politics, and promote meritocracy instead. I work a 100 hours a week (although not or not productively while I had been ill with Tuberculosis for 5 6 years and the recovery from treatment in 2017). I have done that for significant stretches of my 40 years as a programmer. I have specialized applicable skills, knowledge, and experience. Presumably many of you dont have those skills and/or dont work with that same level of intensity.

You seem to not have comprehended the part where I conveyed that I presumed I have been singled-out for temp-banning because you shills wanted to silence me.

And no, I am not going to beg for you or @theymos to undo what his corrupt shit should never have done in the first place. Hell no. I am going to destroy and replace your corrupt shit. Competition is more fun (and more productive) than begging. Corruption can presumably be subtle where the purveyor of corruption doesnt even think theyre doing corruption. I presume for example that Bill Gates thought all of his monopolistic business practices were the reality of free market competition. And I might even be swayed that was the case if I had time to study all the details of that case. This is a privately owned website and theyre certainly able to do whatever they want to do with their business. And were free to compete with them and try to make something we think would serve the market better.

Also Im not going to endorse a corrupt or dysfunction bureaucratic mechanism which wastes my time. Its akin to the masochism of choosing to remain as a tourist in a country that wastes our time in bureaucratic crap. Smart people leverage jurisdictional arbitrage, which is what for example the Internet and now Bitcoin facilitate.

I explained clearly up-thread starting from the first post by my prior account (which was banned for posting in Meta!) why I thought the temp-bans were corrupt from the start, which is why I never respected them (even though I have hence inhibited myself from consecutive posting and multi-posting because I didnt see any significant reason not to). I also clearly explained that the rules arent working as most of the software engineers are leaving or do not visit as often ostensibly because of the trolling and lower quality discussions. I also argued that the rules seem to exist as an arbtrary, subjective construct to enable corrupt collusion between moderators and shills who can presumably buyoff @theymos and the mods. Or maybe its is just or also involves an ego battle between those who dont like me to stick my head too high above the poppies (which btw is an Asian cultural thing now ostensibly being adopted in the West).

Clearly humans want a forum which is gamified. Theres so much political gamesmenship ongoing. So I want to give them what they want in a leveled playing field, in way that will also enable those who want serious, sober discussion to form their own circles. Life is also a game.

And what ever happened to those $100s of millions of BTC (current valuation) that @theymos raised to improve the forum and ostensibly never did.

Also your tactics are nakedly obvious to me. You want me to submit to a corrupted construct so then you can use that construct to temp-ban me when ever you do not like the information I am successfully bringing to the attention of readers. By employing corrupted temp-bans as a means of inducing me to evade the corruption and then perma-ban me because I evaded the useless, corrupted construct.

Nah man. Its an opaque, centralized, subjective, politicized clusterfuck that needs to be replaced with a decentralized, trustless, transparent, objectivized algorithmic construct.

Politics and social consensus are the antithesis of Satoshis Bitcoin. And you Core bunny rabbits are going to learn this the hard way by living out your retirement years in trailer parks instead of collecting Lambos (that is if you HODL all your wealth in SegWit addresses instead of legacy addresses).

The Magnitsky Act Behind the Scenes video has been banned by the powers-that-be from the U.S.A.. They do not want you the people to know the truth.

CORRUPTION
(Edit: Youtube keeps removing the Magnitsky Act Behind the Scenes video)

Here follows the details of the manipulation of Russia and Russian year 2000 elections by bribing and entraping Yeltsin with a $7 billion IMF loan (to remodel the Kremlin), then threatening to expose Yeltsin if he didnt resign and endorse a certain person for the presidency. Yeltsin was forced to turn to former KGB Putin for assistance. Tangentially the IMF was allegedly also involved in 9/11.

Quote from: https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-good-fortune-of-mr-browder/

Chapeau, Mr Browder! Hats off for this incredible man. Last month, he succeeded in stopping a film screening in the European parliament and took off a few articles from American web sites. This week, he turned the only US screening of a film critical to his version of events into a ruckus. No freedom of speech for his enemies! His lawyers prowl around and issue summons to whoever digs in his sordid affairs. His hacks re-wrote his Wikipedia entry, expunging even discussions of the topic: despite hundreds of edits, nothing survived but the official version.

What makes Browder so powerful? He invests in politicians. This is probably a uniquely Jewish quality: Jews outspend everybody in contributions to political figures. The Arabs will spend more on horses and jets, the Russians prefer real estate, the Jews like politicians. The Russian NTV channel reported that Browder lavishly financed the US lawmakers. Here they present alleged evidence of money transfers: some hundred thousand dollars was given by Browders structures officially to the senators and congressmen in order to promote the Magnitsky Act.

Enter Mr Andrey Nekrasov, a Russian dissident filmmaker. He made a few films considered to be highly critical of Russian government. He alleged the FSB blew up houses in Moscow in order to justify the Chechnya war. He condemned the Russian war against Georgia in 2008, and had been given a medal by Georgian authorities. He did not doubt the official Western version of Browder-Magnitsky affair, and decided to make a film about the noble American businessman and the brave Russian lawyer fighting for human rights. The European organisations and parliamentarians provided the budget for the film. They also expected the film to denounce Putin and glorify Magnitsky, the martyr.

However, while making the film, Mr Nekrasov had his Road to Damascus moment. He realised that the whole narrative was hinging on the unsubstantiated words of Mr Browder. After painstaking research, he came to some totally different conclusions, and in his version, Browder was a cheat who run afoul of law, while Magnitsky was his sidekick in those crimes.

Nekrasov discovered an interview Magnitsky gave in his jail. In this interview, the accountant said he was afraid Browder would kill him to prevent him from denouncing Browder, and would make him his scapegoat.

The Magnitsky Act Behind the Scenes has been pulled from everywhere. You do not ban a film in Europe and the United States if it is wrong. This is perhaps a huge cover-up that goes really beyond comprehension. The film was funded by ZDF TV in Europe and they have the power to prevent it from being shown despite the fact that they are taking a huge loss. They would not do that unless there was political pressure behind it.

Trump canceled his meeting with Putin he said until this Russian witchhunt is over. The Magnitsky Act is being expanded throughout the West. Canada in 2017 passed its version of the Magnitsky Act. Denmark and Sweden moved for versions of the Magnitsky Acts. Estonia voted to ban entry to foreigners deemed guilty of human rights abuses in a law targeting Russia and inspired by the Magnitsky case. We also have versions of the Magnitsky Act adopted in Britain, Lithuania, and Latvia. This is clearly not to help Browder get his money back. This is the start of a narrative that is trying to convince everyone in the West that Russia is the dark enemy and then we MUST go to war to annihilate them once and for all. This is the script that is being sold to justify war.

[]

It also makes no sense WHY would Congress enact the Magnitsky Act to try to get money back for Browder who resigned his American citizenship. They have also used the Magnitsky Act to keep adding people who have absolutely no connection to Magnitsky. The case is far more than just Browder. That is what Putin is seeking access to in the USA.

Is this to protect the justification for war with Russia? Even Merkel in Germany said she feared that Putin would interfere in the German elections, which never took place. The entire socialist agenda is collapsing. Those in power have NO way to prevent it. The only way that they see to reset the world economy is another war? So pay attention. The peak is probably around 2027.

[]

The ONLY reason the Magnitsky Act has any traction is that it demonizes Russia and sets the stage for war. That is why this film was shut down in Europe and the USA/Canada. It exposes the lie behind the whole affair. They have used Magnitskys death to justify war.

While these remarks are deeply offensive, what they really reveal is how much EU officials prefer to promote propaganda as well and create their own FAKE NEWS to distract people from reality.

Once again, they seem to be scared to death that the truth about the US interference in the Russian 2000 election is what resulted in Yeltsin turning to Putin. Just look at the timeline.

July 1998, Republic Bank alerted authorities about unusually large wire transfers coming through its coffers from Russia.

July 25th, 1998 Yeltsin appointed Putin as Director of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the primary intelligence agency and the successor to the KGB.

August 9th, 1999, Putin was appointed one of three First Deputy Prime Ministers, and later on, that same day he was appointed acting Prime Minister. It was that same day that Putin agreed to run for the presidency.

August 16th, 1999 the State Duma approved Putins appointment as Prime Minister. There were opponents who fought hard to prevent Putins emergence as a potential successor. Putin had not been formally associated with any party.

August 20th, 1999 Wall Street Journal reports Bank of New York Investigation. They wrote: It was in late August when the suspicious transfers at Bank of New York were brought to the attention of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation by Republic National Bank of New York, a unit of Republic New York Corp., according to people familiar with the matter.

August 27th, 1999 Republic National Bank takes our funds, I demand to fly to Geneva to speak to Safra when the head of the bank George Wendler says he is only the messenger. This is when I was told Safra fled Geneva and went to Monaco for security reasons.

December 3rd, 1999 Edmond Safra dies in Monaco all his bodyguards were given the night off.

December 31st, 1999, Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned and, according to the Constitution of Russia, Putin became Acting President of the Russian Federation. Putin also passed that same day the decree made it a law that Yeltsin cannot be charged with corruption which is obvious that there was a problem with the whole Bank of New York and IMF missing funds incident.

January 25th, 2000; Putin consented to compromise with Duma that Yeltsin can be prosecuted for any serious crimes committed while in office with a vote of 275 to 139 on second reading. Yet, Putin would never prosecute Yeltsin.

There is a very slow flow of incriminating evidence which seems to grow almost daily revealing that FBI and Justice Department officials both worked together with Democrats in the Obama Administration to prevent President Trumps presidency from getting underway. The whole Russia investigation conducted by Robert Mueller must now come under serious question, and it seems likely that key FBI officials should be charged with crimes. The latest release by Congress of documents late Monday revealed an apparent systemic culture of media leaking among top officials at the FBI and Justice Department. This is quoting a letter that North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. It turns out that FBI official even discussed their media leak strategy before making any Trump-Russia revelations.

This is no longer about Trump this is about National Security for such people could just as easily be taking bribes from third parties domestic or foreign.

Quote from: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/trump-throws-hand-grenade-into-russian-investigation/

Well, it was only a matter of time. President Trump on Monday threw a hand grenade into the center of the Russian investigation that was all started by Hillary blaming the leak of Democratic Party emails on Russia and Trump colluded with them. The Democrats and Hillary then paid to create the infamous dossier and pretended it was not funded by the Democrats. They have managed to keep the country distracted and that has been the political objective all along just politics.

Trump has now directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Justice to declassify a number of documents related to the Russia investigation which will be for our reading pleasure and pull the curtain back a little further on just how seriously bad things have gotten in the Washington Swamp. Already the Democrats are screaming say this will put peoples lives at risk. If I recall, the same thing was said about the IRS scandal when the Obama Administration was targeting the Tea Party using the IRS with the silent support of John McCain and John Boehner. They wanted to have Lois Lerners testimony sealed claiming death threats she is still alive.

Trump also directed the release of unredacted versions of all text messages about the probe sent and received by multiple officials, including former FBI Director James Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe [] Moreover, Trump also instructed the Justice Department to publicly release unredacted versions of all text messages related to the Russia probe of Comey, McCabe, Ohr, and FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who were involved in both the Russia investigation and the probe into 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state. The leaks we have seen so far have been showing that they turned a blind eye to Hillary and abused their power to target Trump.
Additionally, he requested that the agencies declassify all FBI reports of an interview with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr that were connected to the Russia probe. Now, this should get interesting. If you remember, Ohr is the person who communicated with former British spy Christopher Steele back in 2016 to compile that dossier of damaging allegations involving Trump and Russia which was used to justify this entire case. Trump wants released information about confidential sources that Steele used while compiling his dossier, as well as Steeles own history as an FBI source.

Quote from: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/hillarys-connections-to-russia-gate-schumers-resolution-to-prevent-any-investigation-in-the-magnitsky-act/

One of the gaping questions that have gone unanswered is why has Mueller not taken Putin up on his offer to go question the Russian intelligence officer he has indicted in Russia? Putin said he would allow Mueller and his team to travel to Russia and be present at the questioning of 12 Russian military intelligence officers the special counsel previously indicted for hacking into the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee and the emails of Hillary Clintons campaign chairman. Putin wanted to question the former American diplomat, Michael McFaul who was appointed by Obama. Interestingly, it was Senator Chuck Schumer who introduced on 07/19/2018 the resolution to deny Putin to question any Americans including Bill Browder. John McCain, the sponsor of the Magnitsky Act, led the charge among Republicans to support Schumers resolution to deny any investigation into the Magnitsky affair. The Senate vote was a resounding 98-0 to deny the questioning of ANY Americans by Russia. This is one of the most curious cover-ups in modern history even after the questionable report that was released on the Trump Tower Meeting that was all about the Magnitsky Act.

The tail gets even more interesting when we look closer at the infamous Trump Tower meeting Mueller has been investigating. Russian-born lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin worked closely with the research firm Fusion GPS which commissioned the infamous Steele Dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC to smear Trump and begin the entire Russia-Gate affair. Interestingly, Akhmetshin also attended the infamous Trump Tower meeting.

Natalia Veselnitskaya was the Russian lawyer who also attended the Trump Tower meeting and in turned US prosecutors later retaliated and charged her with a single count of money laundering. To add further to all of these coincidences, one of the lawyers involved in the Trump Tower meeting was Scott Balber, who also worked on my case and was familiar with the Russian connection involving Edmond Safra and Republic National Bank and his assassination (Death in Monaco). Yet Akhmetshin and Veselnitskaya worked with Fusion GPS in an effort to expose the truth behind the Magnitsky Act. Fusions main task was investigating Bill Browder, the London-based financier whose lobbying efforts led to the Magnitsky Act passage. (see also the film Behind the Scenes Magnitsky Act)

I have stated many times that I was asked to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital by Republic National Bank. Edmond was the major shareholder. This is the fund that Browder claimed he was Putins number one enemy and Magnitsky was not a lawyer but an accountant. There would have been no incentive for Putin to have killed Magnitsky for he would have been a witness against the entire cabal of bankers seeking to take over the Russian government by blackmailing Yeltsin to step down and stuff in their puppet Boris Berezovsky, who flees to London when Putin comes in an amazingly interesting incident hangs himself in Britain (see the movie the Forecaster).

The ultimate client for Fusion GPS, Akhmetshin, and Veselnitskaya was Katsyv, whose firm, Prevezon Holdings, which was sued by the Justice Department for allegedly laundering money stolen during the tax fraud scheme uncovered by Magnitsky. Interestingly, Prevezons payments to Akhmetshin and Fusion GPS were routed through its U.S. law firm, BakerHostetler. That arrangement was the mirror-image of its work for the Clinton campaign and DNC. On that project, Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Democrats, paid Fusion GPS $1 million to investigate Donald Trumps ties to Russia. BakerHostetler paid Fusion GPS $523,651 in 2016. Entangled in this entire affair is not just Hillarys paying Fusion GPS to create the dossier on Trump and the strang banning of Ambassador McFaul appointed by Obama and any possible connections with Fusion GPS. Most interesting is the fact that Bill Browder also donated money to Hillary. He donated $17,700 to Clinton and another $297,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

Also entangled deeply is the Bank of New York Money Laundering case for $7 billion and of course the involvement of Republic National Bank working with people in the US Treasury sending skids of $100 bills to Russia in the affair known as the Money Plane.

Here is what CNN Money wrote on September 1st, 1999 12 days before my case began:

Quote

The saga thats brought money laundering issues to the fore this summer allegedly began back in 1994, when Russias International Monetary Fund representative, Konstantin Kagalovsky, left the organization to join Menatep Bank in Moscow.

Over the next three years, its alleged, Kagalovsky arranged to funnel billions of IMF money meant to help transfer Russias communist economy into a capitalist one through a private company called Benex Worldwide Ltd. Eventually, the money went into and back out of Bank of New York (BK) and Republic National Bank, a unit of Republic Bancorp (RBNC), as well as several institutions in Europe, including the Union Bank of Switzerland AG and Deutsche Bank AG and its Bankers Trust Unit.

Now the burning question the US press will not address is why does Putin want to question a former American Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, who was denied a Russian visa in June 2014 and subsequently banned from entering the country for his supposed active participation in the destruction of the bilateral relationship and relentless lobbying in favor of a campaign to pressure Russia, Foreign Ministry officials told Reuters at the time. Essentially, Putin was after U.S. State Department internal memos from 2009 and 2010 drafted in Moscow about the investigation into the Magnitsky case. The Russian agencys official spokesman, Alexander Kurennoi, told the news agency Interfax that McFaul is one of the Americans suspected of involvement in Browders illegal activities alleged by Russia.

Chuck Schumer wants Muller to indict Trump, but he will not allow any investigation into the DNC and Hillarys involvement in this entire tangled web of intrigue.
