Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[heslo]

Remote work followed by "remote" rest getting boring more and more with each passing week.
That said, I paid extra to get Oculus Quest for my SO as a gift.
I am not really a VR fun (at least not yet).

Anything new on Netflix?
Watching Ozark (they jumped the shark in the last two episodes of season 1, so i am not sure if it is worth watching any more).
Is Space Force any good?

Space Force was fun, but I'm a sucker for anything with Steve Carell after The Office. I quite enjoyed Ozark season 2 as well so perhaps try to stay the course with that too?

Tell you what though, let's just get rid of the Police force all together.

I agree.


Freedom is when the state fears the people. In a police state, which is any state that has a police force, the people fear the state. That's why communism continues to happen, obviously unsustainable as it is. We can not afford to have tyrants in power who enforce their will on the people with force.

Police has its origin in   controlling and bringing back escaped slaves. The difference, today it is done incognito and making the slave believe it is for his own good.
Medieval Europe had night watch men who's primary job was to keep the gas light lanterns lit. Paid by the community and he would respect his employer.
I think Hitler introduced income tax (and a lot of other taxes).

he died from medical problems in conjunction with drugs, the cop did not kill him

Sounds alot like saying those with underlying problems will die from Corona so its not the superflu its just your underlying condition, easy diagnosis.  

... isn't it even worse that George Floyd was having a heart attack and the cops were kneeling all over him, and on his neck, instead of rendering assistance unlike psychopathic inhuman beasts, than if they simply executed him by asphyxiation from kneeling on his neck?

Don't know if it's worse, but it 's definitely just as bad.

[Arriemoller]

An autopsy report talks about "potential intoxicants"?

It's a preliminary report only, the final report is yet to come, presumably with a toxic report.

The coroners report is in, and he died from medical problems in conjunction with drugs, the cop did not kill him.

I see.

Ok Jimbo, let me refrase that.
The coroners preliminary report is in, and it seems like he died from medical problems in conjunction with possible drugs, the cop might not have killed him

.... the instinctive reaction for the US authorities to put the military on the streets show this has a long way to go. The State is doubling-down on the State-sanctioned violence and oppression that has precipitated and inflamed the crisis, instead of seeking urgent and lasting resolutions inside their own agencies of the State where the problems clearly lie. The parallels with the bungling public health response to the pandemic inside public health state agencies is not coincidental but symptomatic of broad institutional decay and dysfunction.

It wont end until the whole of the militarized apparatus of State oppression is dismantled and scrapped now. The military should only ever be retained for defending against external threats, never turned upon the people who pay their wages, that's the final turn of the vicious spiral into anarchic civil war (suspension of habeas corpus). Police were only ever meant to be Officers of the Peace, never Law Enforcement. After total War the military hands over control of the streets to Officers of the Peace; militarisation of the police and putting military on the streets is naturally escalating society back to wartime conditions.

None of this is unexpected, it has been happening gradually in clear sight for those willing to see, only now it has accelerated to the point when it is plain for all to see. Effectively, USA is already in the early stages of a state of civil war.

Abraham Lincoln spoke of government "of the people, by the people, for the people". This was the ideal of democracy.

It seems it has now become government "against the people, versus the people, over the people". Is this is what American "democracy" has become?

No thinking person is advocating anarchy. Without basic law and order, corporations and other criminals would take over.

We do need community-level policing. The problem is indeed the militarization of what should be a constabulary of local residents. Constables should be known to other local residents on a personal level. Even in big cities, this is possible on a neighborhood-to-neighborhood basis. Constables should display their names with pride.

Military and paramilitary forces should only be used against foreign threats. Unfortunately, the Military-Industrial Complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned about has become too profitable to be sustained by defense and has increasingly relied on offense to keep up the revenues.

Political bribery (lobbying) means that governments are for sale to the highest bidder.
_____

What can be done?

Constitutional changes should outlaw lobbying and limit police use of force.

The military should be be used only for national defense, not for international meddling nor domestic political purposes. Military budgets should be reduced in an orderly fashion so as not to trigger a military takeover. The military should be used domestically primarily to control police excesses.

As I mentioned, Law Enforcement should be replaced with local constabularies with only a basic federal force to keep the police in line.

The whole dirty little system of spying on and keeping files on citizens should be dismantled.

It would be best if this were done peacefully but we all know that more likely those who wield the power now won't give it up without a fight.

I agree with everything you say Jimbo, except the last paragraf, I think it can be done peacefully, but  i think it takes some kind of major event that changes the sentiment of the society to do that.

[Arriemoller]

Surprised, anyone?

Yeah, I am.
I'm surprised Arrie can't face the FACT that Floyd could not fucking breathe.


Good morning JJG.

Did you sleep well?
Sorry, how was your day?

Where on earth did I say he not couldn't breath.
The preliminary report suggests that his shortness of breath was caused by heart trouble, and, maybe, drugs. We will know more when the final report is in.
I'm not defending the cops inaction when he was clearly sick. I'm defending the cops actions before that, when they were simply trying to arrest a money forger.

Be clear Arrie..its a fact for you. Our subjective experiences of what we call reality induces biases that are sometimes hard to peer around. Work on it is my advice.

Leftie biases are wrong. That's why you are leftists.

If you are not a leftie at 20 you have no heart, if you are not a rightie at 30 you have no brain. This is not just a cute saying, it's literal truth. Lefties have, for whatever reason, stunted brain growth. You are simply not able to understand right wing thinking. You do not think as adults.

But I was a conservative already as a young boy, does that mean that my brain was big and well developed ahead of time?

No point getting into the technicals but, essentially yes. It's a specific part of the brain that matters here. There is variation in how developed it is even from birth, and it grows in response to certain environmental influences.

So many things wrong here, I'll just point out two.
There was no gas lights in medieval Europe, gas light is a late 1800s invention, medieval Europe was dark.
Hitler did not invent nor introduce income tax.

Ok Jimbo, let me refrase that.
The coroners preliminary report is in, and it seems like he died from medical problems in conjunction with possible drugs, the cop might not have killed him

So, I guess he was destined to just drop dead that day, regardless of the cops actions, then?

How should I know when he was destined to die?
But the cops inaction when he got sick (possible heart attack?) didn't help. He should have tried to help him, and when dead, tried to resuscitate him.

That said, the US is nowhere near a civil war. Currently we are at the boring stage of riot. If this lasts a few months it will become a "civil insurrection". Civil war is at least 6-8 months down the road....

yeah im with this guy. the asteroid strike is scheduled next anyway.

'Possible drugs'

Fact: That applies to every adult on the planet.

As does 'possible mental impairment'. Also a fact.

If it really was illegitimate then complain/sue later (fight back).

It doesn't work.

Yup, at least in the USA. Qualified immunity makes it virtually impossible to win a lawsuit against an officer. Which is why officers are brutalizing innocent protestors/journalists with no hesitation, even with cameras trained on them.

Yes, it's not my words, it''s the coroners. I agree it sounds a bit out of place in a preliminary report.
