OF THE
TIMES
"Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always."You might be among those who have noticed that the people in authority in our country appear increasingly insane. It ought to be self-evident that this is deeply disturbing, but I will explain anyway to allay any residual mystification. In a sane human society, authority is granted to those who are trustworthy. People earn trust by demonstrating their allegiance to reality. Things generally work better when the people running them maintain cordial relations with reality. Now, you understand why so many things don't work in the USA.
- Gandhi
An awful lot of modern "leaks" are no such thing. They are Orwellian exercises in controlling the conversation [...] carefully making sure the "establishment" and the "alternative" are joined in the middle, controlled from the same source.That's not to say ALL "leaks" are automatically and ubiquitously narrative control exercises, clearly some are real...but it's usually pretty easy to tell them apart. In fact here's a little checklist.
Today, at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings 2023, the Digital Currency Monetary Authority (DCMA) announced their official launch of an international central bank digital currency (CBDC) that strengthens the monetary sovereignty of participating central banks and complies with the recent crypto assets policy recommendations proposed by the IMF.As the press release quoted above indicates, this new "Universal Monetary Unit" was created by the Digital Currency Monetary Authority.
Universal Monetary Unit (UMU), symbolized as ANSI Character, Ü, is legally a money commodity, can transact in any legal tender settlement currency, and functions like a CBDC to enforce banking regulations and to protect the financial integrity of the international banking system.
Comment: The U.S., China and Russia have all been vying for influence in Africa, especially where resources or geo-strategic locations are concerned. There is certainly more than a whiff of Color Revolution™.
