The Romanian Revolution, the final and most violent act that marked the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe. 🇷🇴
On December 21, 1989, Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu delivered his final speech before the Romanian people, who were weary of poverty, hunger, and repression under the communist regime. This sparked an uprising that liberated Romania from the tyrannical grip of the red party, culminating in the execution of Nicolae and his wife on Christmas of the same year.
The Romanian flag with the emblem removed became a symbol of the Romanian Revolution, signifying the end of an era of pure repression and poverty in the history of the country.
"I have an obvious thing to say: you are not allowed to give up! If they decide to kill me, it means we are incredibly strong. We need to use this power to not give up, to remember that we have great power being oppressed by those bad guys. We don't realize how strong we are.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. So, don't stand still."
Alexei Navalny, 47, opponent of Vladimir Putin, who died today in a Russian prison in Siberia.

What do Prigozhin and Navalny have in common? They are "messengers"! Their deaths serve to spread a clear and unequivocal message in Russia: anyone who opposes Putin, whether by the force of arms, as was the case with Prigozhin, or by the force of politics, as was the case with Navalny, will simply be eliminated.
By sidelining his few political opponents from the presidential race and physically eliminating his greatest dissenters and adversaries (Prigozhin and Navalny), Putin solidifies himself as the absolute ruler of Russia. Those who oppose this dominance know they will be sidelined or eliminated, with Prigozhin and Navalny serving to make that quite clear to everyone.

It's possible that American ETFs will have more BTC than Satoshi by the end of the year. We've been warning since the 1st edition of 2018: around 2033, the US may do with BTC what they did with gold in 1933 (legally expropriate it, multiplying its value by decree the next day).
Corporate BTC holdings include miners, ETFs, and corporations. The US being able to involuntarily buy 2-3k BTC with colored paper ensures it will be the last functioning government.

In this video recorded yesterday, political opponent Alexei Navalny appears to be in good health and good spirits, joking with a judge during an online hearing, asking for money after a court order blocked all his accounts. Just one day later, according to the Russian prison system, Navalny became seriously ill, fainted, and fell during his morning walk in the prison where he was detained in Siberia.
And so ends, at the age of 47, the journey of Vladimir Putin's sole major political opponent.

Alexei Navalny has passed away. Vladimir Putin's primary political opponent died just 1 month before the presidential elections in Russia. A few weeks ago, he had disappeared from the prison where he was held, only to reappear in a detention camp in Siberia. The Russian government has stated that the causes of death "are being investigated." He was 47 years old.
According to preliminary information released by the Russian prison system, political opponent Alexei Navalny was walking in the prison yard when he "suddenly felt unwell, fainted, and fell." The note informs that emergency services were called, "but the inmate died on the scene."
Navalny, 47, died just 1 month before the presidential elections in Russia. According to some commentators, although Navalny had been transferred to a remote location in Siberia, his mere existence was a source of discomfort for Vladimir Putin and could act as a destabilizing factor in the final stretch of the presidential elections.
With Navalny's "disappearance," the political landscape in Russia becomes "lighter" and even more unobstructed for Vladimir Putin.
Internally, his "disappearance" also serves as a powerful message to other politicians with aspirations to be opposition figures.
