by Glen Wallace We need to go back to the basics of the founding of this nation that is the United States of America. We've strayed way to far from our origins of fighting for our own independence and freedom from the imperialist foreign power that was King George's Great Britain. Congress and the President are bankrupting America to fund the pet war projects of foreign campaign donors. No justification is offered for why we must "stand by our allies" and claim there's an "ironclad" support for Israel. While homelessness, medical bankruptcies, evictions and a myriad of other maladies persist here in the US, Congress decides to fund endless war abroad that in no way benefits American's. Instead that funding only prolongs the hardships and bloodshed of those foreign citizens caught in the crossfire of those wars members of Congress seem so bent on prolonging. Meanwhile, while American's face mounting health insurance costs due to the world's most expensive healthcare system, Israeli citizens enjoy free healthcare and free college, thanks in part to our most generous Congressional representatives. Those Congress men and women who are supposed to represent us, instead seem to be representing Israelis and the Ukrainian military more so than they represent any of their constituents. Almost comically, in one of the videos of Congress reps waving the Ukrainian flag, my own so-called representative, Angie Craig, is there front and center, and the loudest one there, yelling something about "Ukraine in the House!". I start my video with a couple of short loops of that clip.

by Glen Wallace I'm approaching this commentary from a standpoint of questioning the usefulness of Bitcoin in protecting freedom and being a safe haven from government tyranny. I'm not delving into Bitcoin as a speculative asset, as that is entirely another subject matter. But I do have doubts about the ability of Bitcoin to remedy any of the many tyrannical problems facing humanity. If anything, I contend that a false sense of security can arise from thinking Bitcoin can be a safe haven for freedom. Instead, we should go back to basics and insist that our inalienable rights be protected through the strengthening and adherence to Constitutionally guaranteed rights. It is through adherence to the Constitution and its Bill of Rights that we have as much freedoms as we have today. It is not through Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency that our rights and freedoms are protected. Additionally, there is no indication centrally issued currency is going anywhere in terms of a reliance on it to pay the bills that are necessary to maintain an on-grid first world lifestyle. And, if we do protect our constitutional rights, we can maintain our freedoms while continuing to use ordinary national currency. I say 'ordinary national currency' because if the central bank were to issue a CBDC, a Central Bank Digital Currency, there could be a danger of tyranny by making it an easier work around of the constitution for a central government . I'm against the issuance of a CBDC, but I didn't discuss that in this video; I'll have to make that the subject of a another, future video.

By Glen Wallace I'm not disagreeing with the jurors decision, in fact just the opposite; I think the jurors made the correct decision to convict SBF of conspiracy. I'm trying to correct the image of theorizing about conspiracies by pointing out that prosecutors, including the prosecutors in the SBF case, in order to charge someone with criminal conspiracy, have to be conspiracy theorists. There is nothing wrong with being a conspiracy theorist. I'm proud to be a conspiracy theorist myself. Inevitably, whenever anyone is investigating corruption, if they find evidence of a corruption, the investigator will very often encounter evidence indicating a conspiracy. But because a conspiracy cannot be detected with the senses, since a conspiracy requires a shared thought between two or more people, all claims of a conspiracy existing are necessarily theoretical. A conspiracy claim is necessarily theoretical because no one can read minds or use one's senses to detect what is going on in another persons mind. But for a conspiracy to exist, a shared thought has to occur between two or more people, and we cannot use our senses to detect and determine the nature of shared thoughts; therefore all conspiracies exist theoretically.
