Why does our media fail to see that the political scandals in Støre's cabinet represent a threat to Norway's security?
Biden isn’t the only leader of a Western democratic country who has major problems with corruption and other embarrassments. The Prime Minister of Norway,
Jonas Gahr Støre, who by the way has in common with Biden that he is one of the favorites of the World Economic Forum, presides over one of the most scandal-ridden cabinets in our nation’s history.
Let’s take a look at what we have been entertained with during the last couple of years:
In March 2022, Støre lost his Minister of Labor and Social Inclusion, Hadia Tajik. She was considered one of the top political talents in Norway. Tajik was forced to leave due to tax evasion that she started with when she was a member of parliament back in 2006. The scheme went on for several years.
Immediately after Tajik left the government, the news broke that Støre’s Minister of Defense, Odd Roger Enoksen, admitted that he had an extramarital affair back in 2005, and that the woman was only 18 years old at the time. Enoksen, who was a member of the parliament while he enjoyed the benefits of being a powerful man, had since long been one of the leaders of the Center Party.
Støre’s Foreign Minister, Anniken Huitfeldt, might not have too many skills that we want to brag about to the rest of the world. But she is definitely famous for her selfies. On 27 September she posted one on social media while she attended the funeral of Japan's former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated at a political campaign event.
Huitfeldt's political career survived the incident, although I guess she didn’t score too many points with the many Norwegian and foreign diplomats that must work with her. She loves to be in the limelight, and we I'll shortly get back to her again.
Two new members of Støre’s cabinet were forced to leave in 2023. Minister of Culture and Equality, Anette Trettebergstuen, lost her job in June due to repeated examples of illegally doling out positions to her friends.
And in the beginning of August, the Minister of Research and Education, Ola Borten Moe, had to go. Moe is currently under investigation for insider trading.
And finally - yesterday the media presented a new scandal from Støre’s cabinet. It turns out that Ola Flem, the husband of the minister who loves selfies, has had some extreme luck with his stock investments while she has been leading the Foreign Ministry.
Among other things, Flem bought stocks in the Norwegian weapon manufacturing company Kongsberg, just two days after Huitfeldt met with Kongsberg’s top leaders. Two weeks after the meeting, Kongsberg’s CEO announced that the Norwegian government had bought several weapon systems that it would be donating to Ukraine.
Flem also repeatedly bought and sold stocks in several seafood companies while Huitfeldt and the rest of the cabinet was discussing a proposal to introduce new and harsh taxation of the sea farming industry.
Norwegian media now wants to know if Huitfeldt also might be guilty of insider trading. The Minister herself(ie), of course, denies any wrongdoing, and says that Flem never told her about his stock trading. Støre stands firm and says that he still trusts Huitfeldt “as Foreign Minister”.
I guess she has in common with Nancy Pelosi that she cannot be blamed for talking while she sleeps.
Jokes aside, what we are dealing with here is that we have an example of journalists and editorial boards who can’t see the forest for the trees. They eagerly zoom in on stories about money, sex and nepotism, while they at the same time miss the bigger picture, which in my opinion is all about national security.
People like Huitfeldt and the four ministers who had to leave are favorites of the mafia and agents in foreign intelligence services. They just love to have meetings with them where they explain that they know everything about their past wrongdoings.
And then they start to squeeze them slowly for confidential information.
The main story therefore seems to be that Støre’s cabinet is riddled with scandals to such an extent that we should fear that there might have been several security breaches on his watch.
Considering the rather tense geopolitical situation that we have in the world today, this is in my view extremely concerning.
In conclusion:
Støre’s time as Prime Minister of Norway has been a string of embarrassments. The greater scandal, however, is that our mainstream media fails to ask how big threat his cabinet poses for the national security of Norway.
Everything woke, manmade climate change, vaccination, public education, old media, fiat money and plastic politicians implodes.
I deeply admire the late Norwegian poet and philosopher Odd Børretzen.
His poem "Det er ikke sant", which means "It isn't true", is a masterpiece, and I think we need to repeat his message to us as often as possible:
***
It isn't true
It isn't true that we are like animals that howl at animals with fur in shades of gray other than our own.
It isn't true that we growl at shadows on the cave wall because we are afraid of strange shadows, for all animals are afraid of shadows.
It isn't true that we creep forward, alert, like cats ready to pounce on sudden dangers and sounds,
that we sleep on the run and wake up with open mouths,
that we gape at unfamiliar smells,
that human mothers hiss at other mothers' children...
It isn't true that we are led like predators, blindly, by urges and fears,
that we are driven forward by demons inside us,
that we are like wolves that hunt in packs,
that we must howl when the pack howls,
that we can't do anything else because we are animals...
It isn't true.
It isn't true that we are led by fear of everything that is unknown - that it's not evil - it's horror - because we are animals and burn books on bonfires and scream in chorus with red, gaping mouths at pale, frightened strangers,
and write PAKI with black paint in the subway stations,
and do our duty with white, closed faces,
and follow orders and pick up trembling victims and drive them away in trucks and haul them up in police stations and in sports halls and basements,
or that we run in herds with torches and stones through the streets and break windows in shops owned by Jews, and scream "JEW! JEW! JEW!",
because we are driven by urges - older than ourselves, urges that drive us, because that's how we are howling, scared animals in a herd...
It isn't true.
We are not ants or wolves.
We are people.
We want to whisper warm words to each other and look for each other and caress each other in the dark.
The wolves howl in the streets.
Afterwards they stand in the shards of glass and scream:
"YOU ARE LIKE US! WE ARE WOLVES!"
But that isn't true.

What do you think of this poem?

Wealthy Norwegians relocate to a #Bitcoin city in Switzerland.
This is today's frontpage of the biggest financial newspaper in Norway.
The headline reads:
"65 HAVE MOVED IN ONE YEAR"
The news is that over the past 12 months, 65 of the most affluent Norwegians have moved from my country to Switzerland.
They moved because they understand simple arithmetics.
They are, for instance, able to calculate negative compounding interest.
This is basically the same as calculating how fast your wealth halves in value.
It enables you to find out if the taxes halves your wealth in for instance 10, 20 or 30 years.
For those who already own wealth, this is THE basic lesson.
So, the wealthy Norwegians did this calculation.
And they didn't like the answer.
And therefore they left.
Interestingly enough, many of them moved to the city of Lugano.
And what is Lugano?
It's the city that is trying to become Europe's Bitcoin capital.
Kjell Inge Røkke is one of the people who moved.
Few Norwegians, if any, own more Bitcoin than he does, through the company named Seetee.
Key takeaways:
1. Learn how to calculate negative compounding interest.
2. Choose the type of money you own and use, and where to live wisely.
3. And read up on Bitcoin
The State
Public restroom tagging with meaning:
"When the economy crashes, say no to CBDC"
Say yes to monetary freedom and decentralization"
If the monetary supply reflects the reduction of the balance sheet, that might be the case yes. I've written about how this political game played out in the 1920s in my book, Fraudcoin.
The parity policy was many of the European countries' efforts to get their currencies back to the same value in terms of price of gold as before WWI started in 1914. To do this they shrinked the money in circulation in society. This caused real interest rates to skyrocket, as money became extremely scarce. It bankrupted companies, farmers and landowners, while those who had access to cheap credit, for instance in the UK and the US (where the central banks expanded the money supply), as well as governments in the countries with the parity policy, could buy up land and capital at firesale prices. It's the same that ia going on today.
People who don't have a solid understanding of the parity policy of the 1920 won't understand the implications of this illustration.
With the right tools, our children can shape their own future.
Isn't it funny how the governments/central banks target price inflation by adjusting the amount of money creation via setting the key interest rate, while they always point at everything else but money creation when price inflation is high?
If
- your ideas of how wealth should be distributed in this world require
- use of pysical force or
- threats to use physical force
- in order to become reality, and
- you don't want to use force or threats yourselves, instead
- you want others to do all of the dirty work for you,
what are you?
What's so special about Bitcoin?
The capping of the amount of bitcoins to 21 million creates a positive-sum game.
The reason is that Bitcoin creates incentives for people to behave in a specific and positive way when they interact with others.
Many people will think of these incentives as quite unfamiliar or even strange.
But it's quite easy to understand.
So let me explain:
Because new bitcoins cannot be created out of nothingness, but is capped at 21 million, the value of each bitboin goes up when the world's wealth increases.
The reason is, that it's the same number of bitcoins that chases a growing number of goods and services.
Then the price of each of those goods and services must fall, when measured in bitcoin.
And this is the same as each unit of bitcoin becoming more valuable.
When people become owners of bitcoin, it will soon dawn upon them what the implication is .
They will realize that the easiest way to become wealthy is to let everybody else create wealth.
They will also soon realize that the easiest way to let everybody else create wealth is to respect their property rights and freedom to trade with others.
Furthermore, they will begin to favor lower taxes and smaller governments.
And people will realize that promoting freedom is less costly than working hard, investing and making risky decisions when planning for the future.
The consequence of a higher degree of economic freedom is that society's total wealth production goes up.
In this way Bitcoin also implies that the wealth is being distributed among the many instead of being concentrated in the hands of the few.
This means that Bitcoin is a positive-sum game.
It's not necessary to let some lose their wealth in order to let others increase their wealth.
Everybody benefits.
Those who become owners of bitcoin will quickly understand these incentives.
And the incentives will be the same for everybody, whether we talk about individuals, companies or governments.
This means that even big corporations and the political elite over time will understand the incentives.
The latter group will understand that the cost of using coercion and central planning outweighs the cost of letting people be free to create wealth.
Nobody escapes the incentives that Bitcoin creates.
Bitcoin's incentive structure is the opposite of the one that national currencies create.
The reason is that the national currencies are based on a system with constant creation of new money.
And the new money is created out of nothingness.
This creates a negative-sum game, where someone has to lose their wealth in order to let others increase their wealth.
In the game created by national currencies the dominant strategy is to accumulate as high a share of the newly created money as possible, while at the same time promoting a relatively rapid inflation of the money supply.
The faster the money creation is, the more wealth the newly created money extracts from the work and savings of others.
A typical expansion rate is 7% per year.
Such a rate is probably at the top end of what's possible without causing revolts and political turmoil.
The wealth ends up with those who accumulate the newly created money.
It works exactly in the same way as counterfeiting does.
When people aren't allowed to keep the fruits of their labor due to the system's wealth extraction, they won't be willing to do so much work.
This means that the total wealth production goes down.
The incentive structure created by national currencies, where someone grows their wealth faster, the faster the creation of new money is, also implies that the wealth rapidly becomes concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people.
In conclusion:
Bitcoin creates a positive-sum game, in which wealth increases and becomes widely distributed.
This is the opposite of the negative-sum game of national currencies, in which wealth decreases and becomes concentrated in the hands of few people.
This must make MSM go nuts. I wonder if "the dollar milkshake theory" might apply to media. If so, since Nostr is a "harder" information platform in terms of its sensorship resistance, it might over time crush Elon's dream of X world SoMe hegemony.
He got 30% of the votes in the primary with a message of close the central bank, introduce monetary freedom and cut 80% of the government. That is a hero in my book.

Jeg regner med de fleste som har bitcoin fra før gladelig vil ta i mot mer bitcoin som betaling
#Bitcoin will put an end to the symbiosis between war and inflation of the money supply. This is why we call bitcoin peace money.
