COPA and Dr Craig Wright's Highly Principled Autistic Journey

If you are very bored and like reading High Court written judgements, follow this link. 

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/COPA-v-Wright-Judgment.pdf 

Warning: It is not pretty and paints the defendant in a very poor light. I'm not convinced with the ruling, largely because it follows the collective narrative so perfectly and feel the judge may well be unconsciously supporting it being unaware of the shenanigans we all know have been happening. 

To be fair to the judge Wright failed, deliberately or because he had no choice for some proximate reason, to show any convincing evidence. The judge knew this pre trial and was kindly giving Wright an opportunity during the trial to deliver. 

Wright could well be a serial forger or the unluckiest man alive.

My view is that due to an important new point of law on property rights, to do with linking identity to the crypto assets, meaning that crypto assets are identical in nature to any other property in law, Wright is sticking hard and fast to his principles. That is to say, Wright is determined to make this point of law stick which will happen if he can get a court to successfully test it during a trial and make it a common precedent. 

Wright has already made a lot of way on related matters during the Tulip Trading case where he wants to see bitcoin developers made fiduciaries. The appeal court has declared it needs serious scrutiny where Wright is claiming that in law the Bitcoin software developers (who basically rule the roost and have effectively centralised BTC as a form of quasi-government) have a fiduciary duty to the owners of Bitcoin. Meaning that if coins are lost or stolen, the developers have a duty to put that straight by allowing re-assignment of the coins through their software to the legal owner via court order. Right up my street! 

This is politically and philosophically a disaster for the crypto world(the criminal part) and would undermine the naughty guys business in totality. So the stakes are very very high. Crypto is a multi trillion business. And if the regulated institutions are already in on the game, probably unawares, one can see how second order effects could sway the judge. Also Mr. Justice Mellor, judge in both cases was the one who had the Tulip case handed back down from the appeal court, quite an embarrassment for a KC and Lord perhaps hoping to continue his rise. So its in danger of becoming personal because we're all human. Not to mention that Wright, being high on the spectrum, is definitely evasive and a difficult character in social conflict situations and often amusingly has pointed out what poor quality are the officers of the court and their expert witnesses. They do say it's good advice to 'dress well' if you are a defendant going before a judge. I was in court for this trial and indeed, Wright dressed impeccably if not in slightly poor taste. But I use the term dress as a deadly serious metaphor to be taken very seriously.

I think this principle in law on property rights is all Wright cares about and he's making a lot of mistakes on the way - we all make mistakes and who would be surprised about this, except that its ultra highly visible socially. 

Whatever is the truth, Wright is certainly a brave and principled soul.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

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.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) 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 Unit...

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...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
