109 - Holywood and Belfast
🇬🇧 Overnight on Monday V and I flew back from Thailand and we will be spending a few days here in Northern Ireland to celebrate my father's birthday and other family commitments - we even have family visiting us here from Belgium. I'm also happy to meet up with local bitcoiners and school colleagues - so reach out and say "hello" if you like!
In the last few months in Thailand I met so many interesting people and quite a few have also joined up as subscribers. Welcome to you all. I hope you find the newsletters interesting and beneficial. Take your time to read them and do refer back to previous ones - the website search works quite well.
Knowing what weather was in store for us in Belfast (it's 25 degrees colder) we made the most of our last weekend in Bangkok to enjoy the warm weather and all the sites of the city. I also met up with a long term subscriber who was visiting in Thailand for a month or so. Nice! We had a good day out together checking out the sights and locations in town.
This week, with all the travelling, I had plenty of time to listen to many good podcasts and interviews - so you have a veritable treat of interesting episodes below. There are many who are awake to what has been going on and they are actively taking steps not only to share their insights but also take practical steps themselves and with others.
No one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
Our travel was pretty smooth - we flew with Qatar to Doha and then on to Dublin. This was nice timing, leaving Bangkok around 8pm and arriving Dublin around 6am with just R&R in between. I am pretty much fully recovered from my operation and certainly glad that I took advantage of the excellent medical facilities available in Bangkok.
Everything with our travel was smooth - smoother still since V had persuaded me that business class travel was worth it following my recent operation. From Dublin we also took a taxi up to Belfast - also a smoother experience than the bus! One of the counterintuitive things that you will discover is that once you live on the bitcoin standard, things get cheaper and more affordable every year.
That reminds me - on Tuesday 2 April at 7pm in the evening we have the next Bitcoin Meetup here in Belfast at the Panama Cafe on McClintock Street. Come along and meet some of the most interesting people that you can meet in Belfast! All are welcome.
Friday morning we had our regular outing to St George's Market in Belfast. Our favourite breakfast is the Belfast Bap from the shop with the same name. Do go along. The owner, John is great guy and you will certainly appreciate his range of breakfast baps.
Interviews of the week
This week I have several great interviews for you. I had plenty of time to listen and learn during all the travel from Bangkok.
Poisoned Chalice
First up: What would you say if you were told you were being medicated with a very dangerous chemical, without consent, through your drinking water? No doubt the majority would be up in arms but in 2024 this is exactly what the UK Government is planning on doing. Already in the UK, six million people drink fluoridated water, but the addition of fluoride at source is about to be expanded throughout the whole of England.
For those of you in Ireland (north and south) this is already a done deal but, as they explain, there are things you can do to minimise the health impacts and also to join with others to force accountability of those responsible for this. It is never too late to do the right thing.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
- Joseph Goebbels
Meanwhile, in Portugal
Next up is a fascinating interview of Vincent Daranyi by Daniel Prince. They are both former investment bankers who wakened up to the evil to which they (and many) were unwittingly accomplice. They describe the journey and the insights and also what they are doing going forward.

🛠️ Project Updates
The following are updates from some projects that I am following, supporting and collaborating with. What are you doing?
Open Source AI
Marty sits down with NVK for a most interesting and wide-ranging interview.
- Noteworthy is the discussion on Unleashed.chat. I have been using this now for over a month. Just like with Kagi (the search engine that I recommend) this is an entrepreneur competing with the empire, leveraging pay-as-you-go with Lightning payments and building better tools. These are two great tools that I recommend.
- Both NVK and I are aligned on Bitcoin enhancement vs Ossification and also on the need for and approaches to scaling to millions and even billions of people.
- Nostr is also one of our favourite developments over the last 18 months -we are both daily users and I can attest to the much higher signal-to-noise on Nostr compared to other social media channels. Even more interesting will be the new apps that Nostr is now enabling.

Great Taking - there is more
First up this week is part 6 of the investigation that Chris did following the remarkable claims and allegations made by David Webb (we discussed back in Issue 105) - the Great Taking. Yet again, no smoke without fire and too many coincidences is no coincidence!
All of the above should remind you of Whitney Webb's extensive investigations - you might recall that we did first discuss this back in Issue #61, in April of last year.
Balaji has been doing his own investigations and arrives at the same conclusion:
Midweek Maverick
Last of the week and last of the month, barring something extraordinary, Maverick says the decisive moment is approaching. As always he has interesting insights all delivered with his dry sense of humour.
An important interview
Whatever you may have thought about Andrew Tate, you should listen to this face to face interview and consider what the truth really is. Spoiler: the truth is likely far removed from what you have been told and imagined.
Andrew's resilience in the face of what he has been through is also remarkable. In case you did not know Shaun, the interviewer, had a similar experience where he fell victim to persecution by the Empire while in the US a few years ago and he now has a mission to expose similar perversions of justice.
It's all coming out of the woodwork now
Neil explains how the lies can no longer be ignored. The steps that the Empire is taking are completely at odds with what they say and have been saying. As always, it's up to you whether you close your eyes and hope for the best or if you take action.
In case you were unclear on the purpose and value of SWIFT it is that it provides the "lowest common denominator" for the banking industry in terms of services and SLA available in all of the 200 countries in which it operates. This enables the larger banks (those who are "too big to fail") to operate in a standard way everywhere. It also enables the Empire to enforce compliance and controls.
George does a good summary of what is going on. With compartmentalisation it is likely that even those involved and doing the work do not understand what they are doing.
🤔 Closing Thoughts
This week I have a couple of closing thoughts. The first is part one from Jason presenting what he has discovered to be the intent around ritualising the coming solar eclipse. Finally I have a rather short and succinct explainer on some key wisdom that you ought to know.
Solar eclipse - part one
Jason presents to you how the coming eclipse on 8 April fits into calendric systems - identifying some truly remarkable "synchronicities" with the eclipses of 21 Aug 2017, 20 May 2020 and 8 April 2024 - these and other findings that he shows are beyond any possible coincidence. He also explains how Hollywood conspired to "hide" the symbolism in plain sight - this ritualisation is a recurring theme as we have discussed before: think back to the rituals of 2012 London Olympic Opening ceremony and that of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
He goes on to demonstrate a connection to the Phoenix phenomenon, the pattern of earthquakes and enigmas mentioned by Pliny the Elder some 2000 years ago that refer to this phenomenon. Jason maintains that we live in the Simulacrum and the evidence of its artificiality is everywhere. Whether you accept this conclusion or not, it is hard to argue against the intent behind the rituals that he demonstrates and substantiates.
This will not be a popular interpretation by Christian fundamentalists, for they have already fallen for the very deception that this particular sign is a warning against.
If you start to find all of this overwhelming - recall Isaiah's Job.
Pineal
Lastly this week - another one from Wise Quotes. Listen carefully and learn what has been hidden and misrepresented. You may well have suspected some of this before but this short explainer lays things out rather clearly.
You ought to be able so see how this links that to the article above on Poisoned Chalice, the Big Lie and also Jason's Artificer video above.
