166 - Ibiza this week
🇪🇸 We had another really busy week here in the Balearic islands. The weather during April has been rather pleasant. It has been sunny nearly every day - I think we had one day when it rained and a couple of cloudy patches. Warm and sunny and not too hot now as we move into May.
Saturday was another bitcoiner lunch. We had a great meetup at one of the island's excellent little restaurants with the hard-core bitcoiners on the island - a very international gathering. We had some wide-ranging chat on topics like Flag Theory, Sovereignty and friendly countries for jurisdictional arbitrage. In addition we took the opportunity to practice peer-to-peer transactions, swapping cash for Bitcoin and vice-versa. As I have explained to you before - this is an important skill and I have some tips here for you.

Sunday was Diumenge de l'Angel. This is a festival that takes place on the Sunday after Easter every year. It commemorates the feast day of the Ángel Custodio (Guardian Angel) who was the primitive patron saint of Palma. The festival is held up at Bellver Castle with the giants and parades all around. Also many concurrent chess matches.
Redacción
The celebration has a long history, dating back over 600 years. The modern iteration of the festival was revived in 1981 and has since become a significant festival in the annual calendar.
During the week we made a hop over to Ibiza to meet up with some family who were visiting there. We did a tour of a few of the main sights on the island: Eivissa old town and castle, Festival Club and Santa Gertrudis.
Festival Club opened in 1972 as the ultimate party destination on the island featuring impressive architectural elements like large arches at the entrance. The main area was arranged in a circle around a large stage, surrounded by stone steps, benches, and tables. It was intended as a live concert venue and even included its own bullring. A fall in tourists in the mid 70's (and oil crisis) forced it to close and now it is reclaimed by nature and a popular spot with local graffiti artists.
Back in Palma we had our regular midweek Tai Chi session and I have been doing yoga every morning. I have been inserting some Qigong exercises for variation and additional benefits. We also get to enjoy the swimming pool in the afternoons. Life on the island is OK!
One advantage of staying on an island is that we were unaffected by the power outage that hit the rest of Spain, Portugal and elsewhere. You will recall that Sovereign Individuals tend to favour island locations for such independence. Be in no doubt - this was an orchestrated event (Neil thinks similarly). We really are in the Post Truth world. Expect more large-scale (false flag) events that the Governments will blame on everyone but themselves. These are planned and executed to instill fear and compliance and to justify and garner support for expenditure and controls that Governments want to impose - you need to see through their lies and withdraw your consent and participation. ICYMI - Simon explains it below.
Thursday brought Mayday. Three years ago, V and I were in Madeira - it's interesting to go back and re-read my thoughts at that time:
Roger Price
How interesting to re-read my notes of three years ago - who is making your decisions?
Monologues of the week
I have a couple of interesting monologues for you this week. First is one from Simon who translates Scott Bessent's recent Keynote address. This was clearly a very carefully written speech and every word has significance. Needless to say the superficial message is not what is important.
The real meaning of what he said
Click below as Simon explains with numerous citations and historical references the real meaning of Scott Bessent's address. If you are new to this sort of analysis you will be amazed. To many of us, this just ties up a few loose ends that we were wondering about. In any event - what Bessent says is not what he means - you need to read between the lines.

Click for all the insights - including transcript and summary
Further, independent corroboration and confirmation of Simon's points can be found in Alex's monologue below. For example, Alex makes the case that the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was about keeping Iraqi oil off the world market in order to maximize the value newly 'proven' Alberta oil resource - enabling the US to officially recognize 175 billion barrels of bitumen reserves as "proven" and thus legal collateral for 9 Trillion dollars of private money creation. The bulk of the new credit was used to inflate the giant housing bubble. The whole operation was a massive criminal operation.
Techlead also sees similar outcomes and he will talk you through Grok's analysis and conclusions, reminding you of historical context and precedent. Remember, the Mexicans never paid for the wall nor the Avocado trariffs! He does make some rather sensible alternative suggestions.
The curtain has been pulled back
After that, listen to Richard's recent monologue. You likely will agree that the curtain has been pulled back and the control mechanisms, lies and deceit are evident to all who have eyes to see or ears to hear. Listen as he shares some interesting additional insights - including around UCC1 - more on this in the future, I do not doubt.
ICYMI - for a complete explantion of everything behind the Wizard of Oz check back to our discussion here from this time last year. Truth really is hiding in plain sight. Open your eyes.

Ibiza this week
🛠️ Project Updates
With another travel week, my hands-on project work has been minimal this week. That does not stop me from learning something new every day. What are you doing?
Information asymmetry arbitrage
Status quo thinkers believe that fiat money is the norm and that shovelling your savings into "investment vehicles" to outpace inflation is the norm. They also believe that governments and central banks tightly controlling monetary policy is the norm.
Those of us who have escaped the madness see things differently. Marty explains:

This next one builds on and expands on the concepts mentioned by Marty. You will be amazed once you see the madness of "traditional investments" and "quarterly earnings" expectations. All those things are the opposite of what you really want to be involved in. Once seen, you cannot unsee it.

Bitcoin, not crypto
Lastly this week I have a couple of items to help you understand that Bitcoin is fundamentally different from pretty much all of "crypto" and certainly different from all traditional fiat and national currencies. The following wisdom sums it up:
Fiat: where only central bankers can print money
Crypto: where eveyone can print money
Bitcoin: where nobody can print money
After that, you likely want to read Marty's recent "Bent". While you are there, do watch the explainer by Parker and Dhruv.

Do watch the videos from Parker and Dhruv - important to know
🔗 Links for your edification
The following are links from my NetNewswire feeds - learn, enjoy and share.
If you feel stuck - watch this and take action
This is a fabulous little explainer - and only 3 minutes! I am repeatedly amazed by how many of these insight videos tie back to so many of the 7-Habits that we talked about back in Newsletter #13. Let me know your thoughts!
BTW: What he describes is Habit #1 from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Once you start on these you will quickly feel the difference.
Apple lied and continues to do so
Last year, Apple Intelligence was introduced. It was supposed to include a next-generation Siri with features like a new screen animation, recognition of more natural speech, conversational context, enhanced product knowledge, on-screen awareness, in-app actions and personal context.
But we now know the only thing that actually functioned in Apple's demo was the colorful Siri animation around the edge of the screen! Everything else was faked.
Further evidence of Google's evil
This is an amazing story. It resonates with others that I have heard and from checks that I have done, I see no reason to doubt it. This confirms that Google Support (when you can reach it) is only AI-generated responses. There are very few criteria that might get you escalated to Level 2 where a human would even look at your case and the answers that AI generates but they are under instuctions not to escalate any issues unless the channel/account belongs to a "Valuable Client".
They are stealing from everyone
This is a rather good explainer from Mario. He cites quite a few good books for you to read including "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" and "The Creature from Jekyll Island" - we have reviewd and discussed these before.
He is right on so much of what he says - like many gold-bugs he yet needs to understand the limitations of Gold that Bitcoin solves: especially portability, divisbility and auditability.
In other news...
Independently corroborating Simon's analysis with different sources of information, Alex explains where all the money is going and why.

Musical chairs in progress
Make no mistake, the music will not play forever. When it stops…and it always does…you will want to understand why the scramble began in the first place, who is fighting for the chairs, who holds power, and what it means for every dollar-based promise in the world.

🤔 Closing Thoughts
A couple of closing thoughts this week. These are lighter than some of the things that I have covered in recent weeks. First up is another great interview with Rupert Sheldrake. After that we look at some useful techniques that can bring healing and well-being to yourself and others - don't say that nobody told you!
In discussion with Rupert
This is a fascinating discussion with Rupert Sheldrake. In this interview they cover many fascinating topics (links below). I highly recommend that you read Rupert's work on Morphic Resonance and I have shared several of his public addresses here before.

Mudras and more
This next one is interesting. You may be aware that you are more than you suppose yourself to be. You may also be aware of the healing powers that your body exhibits and manifests. Recall that we have discussed many of these things last year when I was in Palermo. This nice video suggests how you can focus your energy and fields through your hands.
This manifests in many ways - eg the Mudras that have been known and taught for centuries. Also in skills like Reiki. So - what is your experience?
