The Wisdom of Assange, Snowden & Ulbricht, Relative to Dr. Craig Wright

Making my way along High Holborn from London's High Court today at the end of the trial of COPA versus Dr. Craig Wright, I was thinking about how the crypto world has been on a witch hunt for Wright for 8 years now. Does this collective of 'investor citizens' hate him so much because his adventure reveals their own complicity in systemic crime?

Let's take a very brief look at some history...

The feds were tracking Edward Snowden and Julian Assange from day one. Because both believed Bitcoin was anonymous and encrypted, so also foolishly believed it is censorship resistant so cannot be traced and followed by the law.

Yet anyone who has made a cursory analysis of how crypto works knows all transactions are sent in clear text. For anyone who refuses to believe this is so simple, cast your minds back to how successfully a narrative operated during the pandemic. In convincing not only nations, but an entire planet to just believe the story being told.

I'm not implying the pandemic was a conspiracy. I am saying its very easy to persuade ultra large groups of people to act. What has happened with Bitcoin is that a similar narrative has also convinced all people to allow themselves to simply... 'believe' it is censorship resistant. With no further analysis. 

Likewise for Assange et al, they believed. And all the money laundering is being done on chain for the same stupid reason - crime, still after all this time, believes crypto is safe as a store for the proceeds of crime. 

And criminals will be caught. When the law so chooses. The law is slow to act. When it does, it does so very perfectly.

I'm not saying I'm happy about that particularly. I am saying it will happen, just as it did for Ulbricht(who was lucky to get only 78 years), and if they can both show the courage of men and face the consequences of their actions, Assange and Snowden too. They both knew the rules and broke them, fair and square, so why not be men and face the consequences? Maybe they will be able to hide forever. Good for them! But they will be neither bold nor men. Certainly not characters we would want our children to follow.

And this speaks volumes for their wisdom. Ross Ulbricht too for the same reason who is already in jail after being caught red handed while setting up an assassination network, which the appeal court testimony shows us very clearly. Only fools would follow their cause. 

And it speaks well for Dr. Craig Wright who refused to support Assange in his heyday when trying to use the new Bitcoin network for criminal activity. Wright knew they were up to no good and told them in no uncertain terms. They proceeded. And were caught. They ran and hid, not really like men.

Is this also why the rest of the crypto world has been on a witch hunt for Wright's neck for 8 years now? Is it also true for the same reason that millions of citizens automatically smear Wright with allegations of forgery and lies, without having spent a moment to look into it. To escape from their own complicity in hiding tax evasion, alimony evasion and anything else any citizen would try to hide if they could knowing they might be able to do it without their family being able to see it?

Big question: what crimes did these popular fools commit? The feds cannot reveal that yet due to second order effects. Which are likely to endanger yet more innocent and unconnected members of the public. 

There is no wisdom found here. Except there is some courage in what Wright is insisting on pursuing.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
