184 - Antwerp to Funchal
🇧🇪 🇵🇹 We had a great weekend in Antwerp before heading down to Funchal in Madeira. On Friday I got a Velo subscription for a few days. This gives access to the public bicycles that are great to get around town. It is one of the things that Stad Antwerpen did well!
Friday evening I met up with a friend in A-Town and we went on to the Critical Mass cycle ride. This was great fun - photos here. For an hour we toured all around Antwerp with the police in support relay-cycling to close off the crossing streets while we passed the junctions. Go along next month if you are in town - it was fun.
A fun Friday evening out in Antwerp - photos from the evening are here
Later Friday evening and on Saturday I met up with a few more former work colleagues. We got to enjoy the local cafes and pubs and a few of Antwerp's famous beers! Good catch ups and we may get to meet up again later in the year or when I am next back in Antwerp.
On Sunday we had a family meetup and meal together in the garden. The weather was less than we had hoped for but it was OK and nice to meet up with everyone.
Monday morning we were up early to head down to Madeira. Travel was quite smooth. Since it was already September the schools were back so there were a lot less people travelling. Train and airport experiences were all smooth and the flight was also good - arriving 30 mins ahead of schedule. We have settled in nicely to our apartment in the centre of Funchal - I will share more about Funchal and Madeira in the coming weeks. We were last here 3 years ago.
With all the travel this week I got to listen to a fabulous podcast and found a good long read. Also some rather interesting Bitcoin project updates and this week's closing thoughts will blow your mind - once seen, you cannot unsee it.
Podcast of the week
I discovered Mark a few years ago when I was in HK. He made a fascinating podcast series, "Where is my mind". I did not know that he has done much more extensive research into many fascinating topics, with a whole range of well-researched books. This is a great interview and I highly recommend supporting Greg to get the full 2-hour interviews each week.
It was those podcasts that introduced me to "Children who Remember Previous Lives" and caused me to take a second look at The Gateway Process, visualisation and dreams . Other good follow–on links include Jason's book: Awaken the Immortal within and our Holographic Universe discussion.
Long read of the week
In this fascinating article, Miri argues what I know that many of us have been beginning to realise. Government Psyops have gone beyond traditional/simple False Flag Events into False Flag Personalities that they manufacture and push into the media.
- High-profile media stories and individuals are often fabricated, scripted, and staged by intelligence agencies for propaganda purposes.
- Real victims of tragedies typically avoid media attention immediately after an event due to trauma, whereas fabricated victims are often eager to speak to the media fluently.
- Lucy Connolly seems a rather clear example of a staged psyop - note multiple issues with the authenticity of her story and the reactions of her family. It is also evident that the mainstream media only promotes stories and individuals that it controls, as it cannot rely on organic events to align with its agenda.
- Miri identifies many inconsistencies in the details of Lucy Connolly's family, suggesting that their names and identities may be fictional. The lack of verifiable birth records for Lucy Connolly and her children raises doubts about her existence and the authenticity of her story.
- Her Twitter account averaged more than 100 tweets per day from creation to her "arrest" - that is more than 6 posts every waking hour of every day - that does not sound like typical conscientious childminder behaviour!

The Lucy Connolly psyop was designed to create fear about free speech and to stoke racial and immigration tensions, while also supporting the political agenda of Reform UK. It is a failed psyop, as the intended audience did and does not believe in its authenticity.
Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is likely another example - you will find plenty of supporting evidence if you look and this fits the profile perfectly. DYOR!
It's here, now...
Simon explains rather clearly how people are being coerced and lead into civil unrest and violence that will be used to justify totalitarianism. Pay attention - open your eyes and recognise what is going on.
Don't be tricked into being a "useful idiot" supporting the agenda. Perhaps now you understand why I encourage people to "opt out". It's OK to observe it but do not allow your energy to be drained by any of this nonsense. There are many better ways to be spending your time and much more useful things that you can do. This is why I am supporting Bitcoin scaling solution development - recall that we discussed this when we reviewed the book Parallels and considered Parallel and Alternative systems. What are you doing?

🛠️ Project Updates
The following are updates from some projects that I am following, supporting and collaborating with. These are all part of the Parallel Systems that we need to build and use. What are you doing?
Mobile data - the best way
Some of you have been asking how I manage to have affordable mobile data and phone service while travelling so much. I have discussed this before but it is good to remind you of silent.link eSIMs.
Simply the best - click for all details
It really is like magic! You get connectivity in 160+ countries with no KYC, data limits or expirations - just pay as you go and enjoy uninterrupted service. Pro tip: set your phone on "Low Data Mode" - it costs me about USD $1 per month per phone. I am mystified when I hear of people paying $50 or more per month and even more with roaming charges!
You do not need to give any personal data - it works like Mullvad VPN - you can have as many eSIMs as you like and you can create new ones when the credit runs out or you can top them up with Monero and Bitcoin over Lightning.
You may need to receive phone calls and SMS. Best way is to get a cheap pay-as-you-go "Calls Only" (no data, no subscription) SIM in whatever countries you need - you can use them alongside the silent.link eSIM. Receiving calls and SMS is usually free.
Lastly, following the demise of Skype, Rakuten Viber allows you to make real phone calls reasonably affordably and anonymously - I do not fully trust the app so I keep it in a separate profile that I only use on the very few occasions when I have to make real phone calls. You can top-up using Bitrefill so you do not need to give any real personal data or connect any cards.
Generally for calls you should be using a secure program like Signal or Session using your mobile data.
Stablecoins revisited
We are indeed living in interesting times. This article is a great explainer on why USDT integration with Lightning is so significant. For those who prefer, Guy will read it to you here.

Surprisingly, one of the oft-touted benefits of the mandated US Treasury holdings of USDT may well turn out to be most beneficial to the Bitcoin and Stablecoin ecosystem rather than the US Dollar as the Empire would have you believe. I recommend that you to take a few mins to listen to Saifedean explain.

The following are links from my NetNewswire feeds - learn, enjoy and share.
Jacob almost gets it right
He is right that the Central Banks are bad and it is good to remind people of how the USA twice ended their central bank before. What he fails to note is that the politicians are almost universally corrupted by the money that the Central Banks create and push out via those closest to it - the Cantillon effect.
It's nearly time
Maverick's recent analysis seems about spot-on. He is a well-known perma-bear but his time is certainly coming. Of course mainstream will paint this as a Black Swan that nobody could have foreseen - even though the banksters caused it and it has been decades in the making.
The fact that so many of Maverick's video clips come from BBC does rather suggest that the UK may well be at the centre of much upcoming "excitement". In case it was not obvious to you - this is also why the Empire has been weaponising the UK police and installing all of the tyrannical laws that will be used to suppress dissent.
Techlead also sees what is coming and he explains it for those who need it "like I am five". It cannot be more clear.
We have been here before - recall When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson - The Nightmare of Deficit Spending, Devaluation, and Hyperinflation in Weimar, Germany. Yes it recounts the story of a hundred years ago but you will be surprised to see how relevant this is today, albeit on a bigger scale.
Evil unbounded - The Mark of the Beast
The cynic in me says that this was only a matter of time. For years Google has been making things more difficult. They are now taking things to a whole new level. For the last few months they have been making it difficult for the alternative ROMs like GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. Now they are going to make life difficult for all developers.
You should know by now the phones will be used to enforce digital ID - "the mark of the beast, without which you will be unable to buy or sell". Pushing back against this is why you, and we all, need to support alternative options that allow opt-out.
GrapheneOS and CalyxOS remain very good options - Google current and planned actions will make it more difficult for them to support the latest features in the newest phones but those are exactly the least useful things and it is better not to have access to them on a phone! We have discussed this at length before. You can easily pick up the older phones at good prices and this will also make linux phones more popular too.
Sam nails it - Apple is not better
We have discussed many times how Apple has become IBM. The latest and most blatant example of how they lost the pedals is: Apple [lack of] Intelligence. Sam's take is amusing - pity that it is also true!
🤔 Closing Thoughts
Two closing thoughts from Jason - for your edification and enjoyment.
Solved - for those with eyes to see and ears to hear
Another remarkable presentation and monologue by Jason. You have to be amazed at his mastery and depth of knowledge on all the ancient and authoritative texts. You will learn how the creation story was known and documented as well as how and when it was deliberately corrupted to hide the truth - and by whom. Hint - this does also corroborate and support Simon's explainer on Who really rules the world.
Strange, but true...
The following may or may not be what you had expected. This is just one of many strange things that you will find about numbers when you look beyond your nose.
