Be a man of courage and strong moral character, not just for those you love but also to be an

guiding example to those who are lacking such fortitude.

Banks continue to fail, and the deep state finds itself in a precarious situation. With their true motives exposed, it's evident that their primary concern is retaining power rather than adding value to the lives of the people they govern. Even in our current kleptocratic and gerontocratic society, there are limits, and those boundaries are rapidly being approached.

The present trajectory indicates a shift towards a more authoritarian state, as this is the only viable means of sustaining the ongoing grift in the absence of a functional democracy. To achieve this, however, they must control the money to prevent rebellion. This necessitates the implementation of a CBDC.

While it's not being suggested that the recent spate of bank failures is intentional, it's clear that those in power are capitalizing on the situation. We are moving towards a world where each country has a single central bank with one true member. This structure is the perfect breeding ground for a CBDC.

Stick an @ in front of that note_id

Nice!

They're a great piece of engineering. I've really got to get mine out and start working that draw muscle again.

Nice. Yours?

I, for one, am rooting for a debt ceiling impasse and seeing what happens on June 1. There's no way the government even knows how much it owes, let alone the budgets of all the many different departments, many of which are off-book.

A default will end with more audits. In an obviously opaque system like we have, that would be a very good thing.

Hunting is going to be my new hobby

Today's #GrowNostr installment comes from The Velvet Underground. My record collection of theirs pales in comparison to my digital collection but they're one hell of a band & I highly recommend exploring their work if you haven't already 🎶🎧🎼
