197 - Bangkok this week
🇭🇰 🇹🇭 Over the weekend V and I travelled down to Bangkok. Just as we left the weather turned cooler and cloudy in HK - during the winter months that sort of weather can be intermittent and even persistent. In Bangkok, however it is warm and sunny every day in this season - very nice!
We wasted no time getting settled back into our routine here. Monday evening I was already out at Satoshi Square bitcoin meetup. Great to meet again with all the folks here - a lot of familiar faces and it was nice to meet many newcomers too.
Midweek V wanted to get some new plants for our east-facing terrace - so we did another trip out to the plant market at Chatuchak. They have a great selection and we are now fully stocked up for this winter!
Books of the week
This is an excellent channel to check out. He is so widely- and well-read and all of this with physical books in his library. He started out doing these videos to document his library for his children but he now has a large following who appreciate all his insights - and you can too.
In the video above he describes a few excellent books that I agree are well worth reading:
- Murder by Injection by Eustace Mullins [08:30]: Explores the perversion of the medical industry - we have discussed this one before. The information for this book was sourced from the Library of Congress in Washington DC.
- Television and Antisocial Behaviour by Milgrim and Shotland [12:31]: A study on the influence of television on the general public. You will quickly understand what "programming" really means.
- Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto [18:06]: Discusses the hidden curriculum of compulsory schooling. Once awake to this you may well want to do what many are now doing as we discuss below.
- Secrets and Lies: Exposing the World of Cover-ups and Deception by David Southwell [26:54]: A primer on conspiracy material - excellent for those who are waking up and looking for solid footholds and foundations.
Interviews of the week
This week I highly recommend two interviews done recently by Hrvoje. First up is a most informative and wide-ranging interview with John Hamer. You might recall that I have previously recommended John's book, The Falsification of History. In this interview they discuss how the book came about and they explore quite a few interesting threads from it.
In related vein you likely will enjoy James' recent interview with Richard Poe - How the British invented Communism (and blamed it on the Jews). Suffice to say, if you have read John's book (above) or Saifedean's book that I recommended last week this should be well obvious to you too.
And then this...
Beyond that this next interview also comes highly recommended. You likely recall that a few weeks ago I recommended "The Preparation" as my book of the week. Well Matt is one of the authors and the curriculum was designed for his teenage son who is now in the second year of four. In fact starting in January he will be in Thailand for 3 months to learn Thai language and Thai Boxing!
Since recommending this book, several subscribers have reached out and let me know how interesting this seems - not just for university/college-aged children but also for themselves. They consider doing even just a couple of the 3-month sessions to diversify their own skills and broaden their minds in these interesting times.
One more thing
Another interesting discussion that I had recently with a subscriber introduced me to the concept of "Co-Learning" spaces. You likely have heard of "Co-Working" spaces that have served as office and networking space for many, myself included, over the years.
Co-Learning spaces are for the children of such Co-Workers and more forward-thinking parents who choose to "home-school" their children. You will be well aware that since the Covid-Crimes, many have lost all trust in the Education system and do not wish their children to be subjected to the lunacy and depravity that seems to be required by empire-based schooling. In many jurisdictions, home-schooling is an option and Co-Learning spaces are popping up where parents can find support and collaborate with other like-minded parents to give a real education to their children.

🛠️ Project Updates
This week I am focussing in on Bitcoin since there has been a lot of talk and misinformation circulating. Let's dig into the facts and you will emerge much wiser - you can thank me later.
Epstein Bitcoin Theory
Likely you have heard recently talk that "Jeffrey Epstein funded Bitcoin development". So - it is important to know what really happened and what the truth is. Simon speaks from personal experience, having been involved in Bitcoin from the earliest days and as an investor himself in the early Bitcoin projects.

I agree with Simon's assessment as to who Satoshi likely was and also it's true that MIT Labs (that Epstein funded) did fund some of the early bitcoin developers - along with dozens of other projects. It may well be that Bitcoin (or its earlier incarnation of DigiCash) was envisaged as a "Gateway drug" for electronic government currency.
However, Bitcoin development was made open source as part of the process to onboard influential and useful developers and cryptographers and once that happened it became a truly decentralised project and central control was lost. As an open source project everything is free to inspect and all code has been reviewed in-depth for years; there are no back-doors or exploits. Check the code yourself here:

You can read and examine all the code of bitcoin yourself here - click to look
Bitcoin now commands the largest distributed computing resource in the world and its development is truly decentralised and attack-resistant. That said, Bitcoin is always under attack and it has been for over 15 years now. The Lindy Effect says: the longer you have survived all attacks the more likely it is that you will survive much longer.
I think Simon is also correct that Microstrategy and the whole swarm of "Bitcoin Treasury Companies" is also an attack vector - he goes into quite some detail on his analysis and this makes perfect sense. Bitcoin will survive this attack too and emerge stronger. Lyn Alden described this attack too in her recent article.
Likewise, Tether and the whole Stablecoin industry will be used, knowingly or unknowingly, to attack Bitcoin. Recall that we have discussed this attack before too and it will likely make Bitcoin stronger and may well speed up adoption.
So - what to do?
Bitcoin is the best hope that humanity has for real money that works on a global scale and allows full-reserve banking - as we discussed last week.
The best thing you can do it to buy some bitcoin every month and use it everywhere you can for daily and recurring payments. Also, aim to have more bitcoin at the end of each month than you had the month before. Keep doing that and benefits will likely ensue. It is never too late to do the right thing.
"It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy."

Could they be manipulating the markets?
It has been a while since Jordan has published anything so this update is certainly worth paying attention to. I have said many times that there are no coincidences - watch this and you will see it too - the occurrences linked to "47" are rather obvious and that linked to "86" is of the sort that we have seen before too in recent years. Jordan covers quite a few interesting points that you likely do want to have in mind going forward.
In this next video, Simon talks you through how and why the market manipulation is being done and how things will likely progress. The "financial industrial complex" (FIC) utilises the Jeffrey Epstein files not merely as a source of scandal, but as a strategic weapon to manipulate macro markets, control politicians, and engineer geopolitical shifts. Simon argues that since the global financial crisis, the US stock market has detached from fundamental value, driven instead by three specific "weapons": money printing that favours debt-holding corporations, the control of capital through passive index flows, and market capture via algorithms and media narratives.
The result is a "K-shaped" economy where the elite (parasites) accumulate wealth while the public is distracted by manufactured civil unrest. Simon contends that social media algorithms are weaponised to amplify divisive narratives—such as antisemitism or Islamophobia—to facilitate "colour revolutions" domestically. Simultaneously, the FIC is accelerating the decline of the West by pushing capital flows toward the East, specifically to BRICS nations and the Gulf states, while using fiscal dominance to artificially prop up the dollar.
If you are wondering what you can do now with this newfound wisdom, you already know it - check back here.
Unpopular opinion - The truth is out there...
... and as usual, it is not in the mainstream narrative that you are told. Just like with 9-11 and other events like Manchester Arena, Brussels Airport, Madrid, Boston Marathon and so many more (remember Butler Pennsylvania on 13th Jul 2024 and Utah Valley University on Sep 10th this year) - the mainstream narrative is far from "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". Like all of these events, we may never know the full true details however you can be certain that the official story is not it.
Whenever you see events of this nature and magnitude in any country and certainly a country near you - you need to think clearly and critically. Lei explains:
最大的天灾就是从来不承认有人祸
The greatest natural disaster is never admitting the man-made ones.
Source: Chinese wisdom
To dig deeper into this type of situation - check here and here. Critical thinking is an important skill. Speaking the truth is never popular when people do not want to hear it. If in doubt, think Covid and you will quickly understand - also what's next. Wherever you live, pay good attention and think critically at all times.
🤔 Closing Thoughts
A couple of closing thoughts this week. First up is an easy one. You should be well able to follow and understand what Jon demonstrates in his latest weekly video. After that is a longer watch - you can also read the summary. Jason of Archaix talks with his publisher and the many synchronicities that brought them together and resulted in Archaix today. Indeed - there are no coincidences.
Nothing to see here
Jon does these talks weekly. Each week he picks different topics and locations on which to share his insights and thoughts. The video of this week is rather clear for those who are new to his work and well worth a watch - he highlights some rather strange things in the UK as well! WDYT?
Discussion with his publisher
Paul is Jason's publisher - in this interview he reveals he has kept a stack of correspondence from Jason dating back to 2002. These letters track the history of their relationship, starting with book orders and evolving into publishing proposals. Paul reads a 2002 query letter for a project titled Arcanum, which eventually became Jason’s book Lost Scriptures of Giza. The letter showcases Jason’s early, meticulous research style, arguing that the Great Pyramid was the world’s "oldest book," originally covered in inscriptions that birthed the world's major religious texts.

Paul also reads a poignant letter from 2006 wherein Jason predicts his future. Writing from his cell, Jason describes a spiritual awakening where he realised he was an "entity encased in mortal trappings." He predicted that upon his release, he would launch a ministry to "wake up" those in spiritual slumber and challenge established narratives. Paul and Jason reflect on how accurately this letter predicted the current success of the Archaix community, with the only failed prediction being Jason's fear that he might die before age 50!
I do recommend Jason's book "Awaken the Immortal within". As he explains, this is intended to be a book that you read in one sitting. In case you find that too challenging, listen here as Michael Antonakos reads it to you. You have no excuse!
If you enjoyed all this you can go back and watch Jason discuss all his books as well as his unpublished books - they are also now available as PDF.
