More negative views on history:

“History is of two kinds—there is the official history taught in schools, a lying compilation ad usum delphini; and there is the secret history which deals with the real causes of events —a scandalous chronicle.”

–Honoré de Balzac, Lost Illusions

“History, n. An account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools."

— Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1906)

"History is more or less bunk."

–Henry Ford, in Chicago Tribune 25 May 1916

“History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there. …History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten.”

–George Santayana

“History is not what’s done. It’s what gets into writing.”

–Meir Shalev

No Taxation Without Authorization!

He's like a father, checking in on all of his children

Like the court jesters of old, speaking truth to power.

If you look at the conditions required for life, and the odds against them existing anywhere else, it makes the presence of life on Earth nothing short of miraculous.

This sounds similar to what #Israel is doing to the Palestinians today.

I suppose btc has first mover advantage, and thus a larger market cap, a bigger network, and more users. They also say it can't be inflated, unlike Monero.

Some three and a half centuries earlier the Magi had a different reaction when Alexander the Great was born. Plutarch relates that on the day Alexander was born, the temple of Diana at Ephesus was also burned. “All the magi who were then at Ephesus looked on the fire as a sign which betokened a much greater misfortune: they ran about the town, beating their faces, and crying, ' that the day had brought forth the great scourge and destroyer of Asia.'”

This is the passage that directed the Magi on where to find #Jesus.

> "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.' When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:'"

–The Bible, Matthew 2:1–5

"But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,

who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,

from you shall come forth for me

one who is to be ruler in Israel,

whose coming forth is from of old,

from ancient days."

-The #Bible, Micah 5:2

written ca. 700 years before the birth of #Jesus the Messiah

There's nothing like spending other people's money. You know that's socialism, right?

Really? smh

I expect the Deep State to really get crazy as we approach the election in 2024. Their lawfare against Trump hasn't done the trick yet...

Have most others realized yet that Q-Anon was just a Deep State psyop?

You're right. The prices of things SHOULD be going down but we've been conditioned to think inflation (and income taxes, etc.) are normative. Deflationary prices CAN happen, but we'll have to get rid of some things first...

In the American Revolution, the American people freed themselves from domination by the king of England.

Then, a counter revolution soon put the free peoples of America again under domination to the "United States government," under which they have toiled for nearly two and a half centuries...
