Look at the smooth transition from "Four more years" with Joe Biden to the "I'm with her" with Kamala Harris. Complete loyalty, no questioning of the lies told regarding Biden's clear lack of ability to govern. Look at the "Make America Great Again" with Donald Trump. Complete loyalty that this time he will definitely "drain the swamp" and somehow he will wake up to see his "Operation Warp Speed" was nothing but a Big Pharma profit grab, which injured and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Those registered to vote, but didn't, plus those not even registered to vote are larger than the Tory and Labour vote put together. The Uni Party / Oligarch worst nightmare is seeing these people becoming engaged and voting for a party away from Red and Blue. Hence, I've a sneaking feeling that behind the scenes they promote "It's cool to check out of the syatem" to ensure they don't realise their voting power. npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton Three main factors: as to why Labour won 1) Tory govt had become so bad, so loathed, that people wanted a change. Tactical voting websites were promoted to vote for person most likely to beat a Tory. 2) Reform UK won 14% of national vote and took a lot of their vote from Tories. 3) UK's 'first past the post' voting system is corrupt. Labour won only 33% of national vote, yet got 412 seats our of 650, which is 63% of seats. Reform won 14% of national vote, but only received 5 seats - 0.7% of seats - corruption personified. And I heard a lot of people who didn't want Blue (Tory) or Red (Labour). They are a Uni Party, passing leadership baton to each other at elections, whilst their big business oligarch funders, paymasters, remain the same. npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton $10 will buy you 14,488 sats.

Regarding Bitcoin, I'd love to hear his vision for Bitcoin. It's clear that Robert F Kennedy Jr, has done his research on Bitcoin and delivered a superb talk at Bitcoin Nashville 24 Can you probe to see if Vivek have a similar deep understanding, and if so, does he truly have the ear of Trump on Bitcoin, if he becomes President? npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton US Presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. states that regarding the Ukraine war "We have been lied to." In this ten minute video he explains his reasons as to how the Ukraine Russia war started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBpPPki-7Rc My view is that just like the Iraq war, our western politicians and supportive legacy media have indeed lied to us, and built a narrative which suited their military, and ultimately Big Business agenda. (For this war #FollowTheMoney) Yes, Putin should never have invaded, but then Biden, Boris and NATO got Zelensky to tear up the peace agreement which had been agreed upon. Once Putin stepped across the line, NATO manipulated a proxy war with Russia, allowing Ukraine citizens to be used as collateral damage for a bigger political goal - that of removing Putin. RFK Jr, says in the interview that Tony Blair went to pull Zelensky out of peace talks with Russia, on behalf of Biden and Nato. It was, of course, Boris Johnson not Blair. Proof of Boris visiting early on in April 2022 and pulling Zelensky out of peace talks is reported in Ukraine's Pravda newspaper here: https://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/2022/05/5/7344096/ The Truth is out there for those who choose to research. If you've read this far, you most likely are one of these people - thank you. It's truly important to speak up at this time. However, most people will take what they are given by their government and legacy media as being the 'truth'. It's time to stop doing this and this means moving away from Red and Blue politics; towards independent candidates such as Robert F Kennedy Jr, or Marianne Williamson, and so on. My advice is to search out independent journalists who are not funded by Big Business, as well as politicians who are independent of Red and Blue parties. And keep posting on Primal and invite friends to join Nostr npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton War fucks us up An incredible video which sums up the insanity of war. https://m.primal.net/JkwZ.mp4 These scenes as relatives from North and South Korea meet up are both heartbreaking (had me sobbing) and incredulous, that as a human race we allow war and separation to continue. Lee Sun-Kyu was three months pregnant with their son, when war separated them. Oh In-se gets to meet his 65 year old son for the first time. His son says "Father, I'm here" Lee Sun-Kyu 84, of North Korea, meets her husband Oh In-se, 83 from South Korea for the first time in 65 years. Red Cross arranged this reunion, as they meet and hold hands. She says "Thank you for being alive" I am 100% convinced that grassroots people do not want war. Their respective leaders drive the hate and fund the war. It's time for us, the people, to say collectively to our so-called 'leaders': "No More War" Context: During the Korean war many families scattered to stay safe, believing that their separation would be temporary, and that they would eventually be able to reunite when things settled down. Many thought that theyβd only be away from their families for a few days, weeks, or even months. Unbeknownst to hundreds of thousands of families, the split of Korea into North and South would end up separating them from their loved ones for decades, if not the rest of their lifetimes. My view is that this is utterly insane, it's inhumane. I'll repeat again - time for grassroots people to throw out their so-called leaders and live together in harmony.

(Governments keep printing money out of thin air, which devalues their currencies, devalues your money. Whereas there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin - yes, you can buy fractions of a Bitcoin known as Sats) 5) They understand how Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange, (i.e. money to pay for goods and services) in growing parts of the world (look up El Salvador) as it's a sound money, which is decentralised and secure, not subject to government or central bank manipulation. 6) They enter stage 1) themselves.... https://m.primal.net/Jitd.png Thanks to @npub1l04β¦kdhn npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton @npub1s05β¦eyhe @npub1a2cβ¦w83a @npub1s5yβ¦6q7z with ego death capital are exemplars of this approach ππ» npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton This feels like a really important step forward towards mass adoption.

See my previous post on how Robert F Kennedy Jr. has put in the hours to understand Bitcoin; and is the authentic Bitcoin Presidential candidate in my view. Link to James' video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-iDI7r1aW8 npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton Why, in my view, the real Bitcoin President is Robert F Kennedy Jr. Comparing the two speeches, RFK Jr. Vs Trump, was Men Vs Boys. I've posted a link to RFK Jr.'s speech below. It's worthy of your time. For those who know Bitcoin, RFK Jr. is to the political arena what Michael Saylor is to the corporate arena for Bitcoin. RFK Jr. clearly understands Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community and its strategic importance. For example, to grasp the work of Jason Lowry on 'Softwar' is a sign of someone who's put in the hours on his Bitcoin research. By contrast, Trump gave a rambling, disjointed speech, of someone who'd recently picked up the brief and not understood it. He made some good points in amongst his verbiage, which were poorly communicated and frankly lacked coherence. He didn't even mention the one million Bitcoin Treasury, which would have brought the house down in Nashville? Whoever prepared him should be fired, and Trump himself needs to take responsibility for thinking he could ramble on and still charm the Bitcoin audience. RFK Jr. was punchy, concise and what he said fully deserved to be on the Bitcoin stage and was worthy of the audience's attention. Kamala Harris didn't show up and rightly so, as I doubt she understands Bitcoin, and the record of the Democratic administration has demonstrated their lack of understanding and antagonism towards Bitcoin. She has a short window to rapidly get up to speed with Bitcoin and make a difference, but I'm not holding my breath. I hope she proves me wrong. The Trump administration will no doubt be good for Bitcoin, but the real Bitcoin President for me is Robert F Kennedy Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssYCRVpzcxc npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton A call for #Bitcoin payment expertise please "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down" I have a professional consulting colleague in Europe who is keen to accept #Bitcoin in their business - YEAH!

What's key is how humanity chooses to use it. It can be for nefarious purposes or for the greater good of all, and a number of choices iin between. I'm asking, just who can we trust to steer where AI is taking humanity? I certainly don't trust the competence of any Red or Blue government - Covid showed me how they were led by the nose by profit seeking Big Pharma. Microsoft continues to be the largest investor in Open AI with ChatGPT and I certainly don't trust Bill Gates. I don't trust Google with Gemini (ex-Bard), given their awful track record of Covid censorship on YouTube. Rather than big tech companies controlling AI and raking in billions of profit, I prefer Open Source AI - where development is transparent, it's much easier to audit and there's a decentralised community accountability. https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/open-source-ai/ https://situational-awareness.ai/ Thanks to @npub1s05β¦eyhe for highlighting the situational awareness AI article π npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton Forest of the Fallen - song covering the moving Australian art installation initiative, which tells the real-life stories of the Covid vaccine deaths and injuries. https://rumble.com/v4ap0mi-the-forest-of-the-fallen.html npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton Reuters - 'The U.S. state of Kansas on Monday sued Pfizer, accusing the company of misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccine by hiding risks while making false claims about its effectiveness' The implications of this lawsuit are deeply serious and troubling. How were Pfizer able to roll out a mRNA vaccine which was neither safe or effective, with the full support of our health authorities, governments, media and an army of 'Fact Checkers'? Eminent doctors and scientists were raising serious concerns back in 2020, yet they were castigated as peddling misinformation. Many had their reputations smeared and lost their jobs as a result. The repercussions of Pfizer's corruption, which was aided and abetted by western governments are serious; and in my view key Big Pharma executives, health officials, government ministers, media executives need to face a trial by jury to be held accountable. https://www.reuters.com/legal/kansas-accuses-pfizer-misleading-public-about-covid-vaccine-lawsuit-2024-06-17/ npub155vjcann4nrqgkc469gyuu3w46zrfjm0r590q7lq36czwan5krusl890c2 davidwetton I was in the audience and it was a next level presentation.

They are choosing the lesser of two evils for them. My sense is that whoever 'triumphs' as PM or President will experience a pyrrhic victory. The current two party system is corruptly creaking at the seams. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we've finally glimpsed behind both the Blue and Red curtains; and realised the same corrupt oligarchs are pulling the political strings of both parties. The UK, US and indeed the western world is in the throes of political and societal change.
