Kanye West hits proverbial home run out of the ballpark: Why don’t we just try love?

LOS ANGELES (INTELLIHUB) — Kanye West appeared on TMZ Tuesday where he expressed his views on free thought and infinite love, and the majority of the press is focusing to cover only one of his remarks on “slavery” to further the divide proving Kanye’s point.

The outspoken visionary who’s often touted as a genius told a TMZ staffer named Ben that he didn’t mean to say things that hurt him or other blacks when he wore a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat last week out of the blue, and apologized for causing him pain from his new way of thinking which contradicts the average African-American person’s belief system.

“TMZ is the hospital to fix the world,” Kanye said passionately. “I think that we have to get next to everyone. If we don’t like Trump then we have to talk to them […] because Trump is a human being also, and he is in a very powerful position and he is doing a lot of things to actually help […].”

“We need to speak to people,” Kanye reiterated. “Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result — so if we keep on saying I hate you, I hate you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you, then how are we going to get a different result out of hate?”

The famed rapper and business mogul then went on to hit a home run out of the proverbial ballpark when he asked a few key questions.

“Why don’t we just try love,” Kanye asked. “Why can’t an influential rapper in the black community go up to the President and talk to him about how we can make a change one-by-one-by-one?”

“We have the resources for a peaceful world,” he said. “I believe that Kim Jong-un didn’t believe that Obama was crazy enough to come at him — you know, sometimes you need so crazy sh*t to change something.”

“They say I’m crazy, they say Trump is crazy but I’m here to show you love […] and I know I disappointed the black community when I wore the hat but like I told J Cole on the phone just now that it’s a bigger plan and I’m just doing what the universe told me.”

We love you Kanye.

Blooded the Brave: It’s all backwards, what’s up is down, what’s right is wrong

(INTELLIHUB) — Hip-hop artist/Rapper Blooded the Brave, a.k.a. Kyle Reese, appeared on The Shepard Ambellas Show Friday, where he spoke about his new synth-wave sound and governmental control.

“It’s all backwards, what’s up is down, what’s right is wrong, and what’s wrong is all around,” the rapper with an alter-ego explained to Shep during the live broadcast. “That’s where we are at, we are in the upside-down, it’s like doublespeak is real, 1984 is here.”

“I’m not shocked by it — I have an inner peace because these people that are pulling the strings are so desperate, they’re scared of us,” he explained. “I mean, we’re the ones with the power, that’s why they do this, that’s why people feel like they have to […] do everything they tell us because we’ve been brainwashed.”

You can listen to the entire broadcast here. Fast-forward to hour number two of the show at the 1:00 mark.

Mike Krieger Warns "The Generational Wheels Are Turning"

Authored by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

“The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles.”

— Oren Harari

If you only read my stuff sporadically, you might be surprised to hear that I’m actually quite optimistic about the future. The main reason I compose articles highlighting all the frauds, corruption and absence of ethics within our current paradigm isn’t to fill you with fear and dread, but to create awareness. Ignorance is not bliss, and I believe a deep appreciation about how completely broken and opaque the current way of doing things is can provide the spark of inspiration and determination necessary to create a new and much better world

As I’ve stated many times previously, it wasn’t until Bitcoin emerged and I started to understand the implications of it, that I became very encouraged about the future. Prior to that, I saw humanity living under a terminal, predatory system that would eventually consume itself, but I couldn’t see a plausible roadmap toward a better tomorrow. Bitcoin proved to me that not only did such a path exist, but the infrastructure for this better future was being built right in front of our eyes.

I first started writing about the revolutionary implications of Bitcoin in the summer of 2012, and looking back five years later I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of awe and appreciation for all that’s been achieved. While the optimist in me always thought we might get to where we are today, to see it actually happen is nothing short of extraordinary. The incredible energy and global talent that’s entered this space over the past several years brings a gigantic smile to my face. It truly is an idea whose time has come, and the more the concepts of decentralization and trustless systems infect the global consciousness, the more unstoppable they become. I think we’re already there.

Meanwhile, there continues to be tremendous resistance to this innovation from wide swaths of the population, which is to be expected for anything that seemingly came out of nowhere and is so incredibly disruptive. I have various theories for why that’s the case, but today’s post will focus on a specific aspect that I think is relatively unappreciated, particularly by many of us older than 35.

I’m old enough to have lived half of my life during a time when the internet wasn’t totally ubiquitous. As such, being proficient in the use of technology wasn’t something I grew up with. I had to learn what I know on my own later in life, having already become comfortable and reasonably well adjusted to the pre-internet world. Throughout my ten year career on Wall Street, I simply didn’t have the intellectual curiosity to really look behind the curtain, but then the financial crisis came along and shattered my worldview. I haven’t been the same since.

I’m not the only one of course. The financial crisis of 2008/09 similarly shattered the worldview of tens, if not hundreds of millions of people across the globe. I believe that the old manner of doing things as far as organizing an economy and society died for good during that crisis and its aftermath. Sure it’s been shadily and undemocratically propped up ever since, and we haven’t yet transitioned to what’s next, but for all intents and purposes it’s dead. It’s dead because it has no credibility.

Increasing numbers of people accurately see the institutions that currently manage our lives as outdated and corrupt. More importantly, many of us don’t want to simply replace the current crop of unethical people in charge with a new bunch, we want to completely change the way things are done at a systemic level. This is precisely what lies at the heart of Bitcoin, as well as decentralized, trustless systems in general. If there’s any fundamental lesson from history it’s that human beings cannot be trusted to use power and authority altruistically and wisely. As such, it’s imperative that we distribute those things as much as possible.

Sometimes my posts are inspired by the most random of things. In today’s case, it was the following tweet by Reason.

Charles Manson"s death, like the sale of @RollingStone, is one more sign of the end of Baby Boom America (finally!) https://t.co/TfFL4wldNa pic.twitter.com/DKlxE0PI3a

— reason (@reason) November 20, 2017

The above caused a flood of thoughts that had been already percolating in my mind to coalesce. It made me realize that if you aren’t observing what’s currently happening with regard to Bitcoin’s ascendance (and crypto assets more broadly) from a generational perspective, you’ll completely miss the big picture. The Baby Boomer generation, which has dominated so many aspects of our country for so many decades — including the overall narrative of everything — is finally heading off into the sunset.

It’s not so much that they’re physically expiring, but their influence is beginning to wane significantly. It’s not completely obvious just yet since our world continues to be defined by the institutions and ideals they championed, but in the hearts and minds of so many, particularly the younger generations, the world they left us is hopelessly corrupt, archaic and can’t be displaced quickly enough.

Bitcoin is as much a generational phenomenon as it is a technological innovation and response to finance industry corruption.

— Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) November 20, 2017

In the U.S., we are probably hitting right now (or recently passed) peak Baby Boomer influence on society. The implications of this are enormous.

— Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) November 20, 2017

This is where many older people who understand how fraudulent and terminal the current system is seem to get sidetracked. To them, the next logical step as we enter a new financial system has to be to go through gold. Far more ridiculously, some people even push the spectacularly idiotic idea that an SDR will become the accepted global currency of the future. While I don’t profess to know exactly how things will play out, I try to keep an open mind as others arrogantly dismiss Bitcoin completely.

It’s no coincidence that many of those who are particularly condescending toward Bitcoin are from older generations. They’re doing what humans tend to do, which is take their own understanding of the world and life experiences and extrapolate them into the future. Someone who lived 30 years or more before the internet came to dominate everything will naturally possess a radically different perspective of the world and where it’s headed than someone who never knew life without it. This is precisely why a younger person will inherently understand the value and utility proposition of something like Bitcoin far more easily than someone much older.

If you want to try to figure out where we’re headed, you need to get out of your own head and into the minds of younger generations. While it’s fun to mock millennials and avocado toast, this is one of the most systemically screwed over generations in a long time. Thrown into the job market in the midst of an economic collapse, they watched their parents lose their homes while Wall Street got bailed out. These are lessons and experiences that stick around for life and fundamentally shape how one sees the world. The younger generations aren’t going to be interested in tinkering around the edges of the current paradigm, they’re going to want to replace it entirely. They have no loyalty to a system they’ve witnessed do so much damage.

If you’re a Baby Boomer please don’t take this the wrong way. This piece isn’t meant to disparage older generations while mindlessly elevating the youth. Many of the tools and ideas now being embraced and implemented into our society were developed by brilliant minds many years ago, and we should always pay homage to the gigantic shoulders on which we stand. Pushing 40, it’s not like I’m some spring chicken anyway.

The future isn’t set in stone, it will be what we make of it. As I see things today, we have an old paradigm on life support while novel systems and new perspectives emerge in parallel. Rather than predict the old world will blow up into a cauldron of fire, brimstone and nothingness, I can see a beneficial passing of the torch to better ways of conducting human affairs. I’m not claiming this transition will be easy and painless, but I suspect we’ll find ourselves in a much better position when we emerge on the other side.

So don’t let fear take over, and strive to embrace your higher nature. Understand the reality of the situation as it stands, and then do everything you can to leverage your talents to ensure what comes next is the kind of world you want to live in.

Jamie Dimon Should Learn About Lemons

By Chris at www.CapitalistExploits.at

A tale of two James".

What does this guy:

Captain James Cook

...have in common with this guy:

Two things:

1. Same first name, and


2. similar opportunities.

Let me explain.

Captain James was probably just another ruffian salty with poor hygiene and bad teeth. But you know what the catalyst to his fame was? And by extension what turned muddy old Britain into an empire?

These:

You see, the thing holding back Captain Jamie from extended ocean going voyaging was a nasty disease called scurvy. We know now that Jamie was dead eager to get out there and bring nasty European diseases to natives in faraway lands and upon arrival announce, "By George it"s nice and lush here, we"ll take it."

And so when Scottish physician James Lind figured out via controlled experiments that, in fact, a diet including vitamin C rich foods cured this pesky disease, the advantage presented to sailors was enormous. After all, those poor sods used to routinely lose up to 60% of their crews to scurvy on voyages.

Imagine setting out knowing such odds.

Da Gama, for instance, lost 116 if his 170 crew, and Magellan 208 of his 230. You"d have better odds skulling a bottle of Absolut and then playing chicken with Mack trucks on a freeway.

It took the Brits about 40 years to put this knowledge to good use, but it has been argued by historians to have been a catalyst to the founding of the British Empire. At the time, there were plenty other countries who could quite easily have stacked up some lemon juice in the hull, set sail, and begun planting flags. But they didn"t.

Isn"t that amazing? The bloody British Empire owes its fortunes to the humble lemon. And, by golly, old Jamie Cook took advantage of that didn"t he? And the rest, as they say, is now history.

And this brings me to the other Jamie.

You see, Jamie (the old Brit Jamie), used something quite revolutionary at the time to alter the course of history and become a major player in it.

And Jamie (the not so old yank), Captain of the JPM ship has a similar opportunity today.

It"s why he should learn about lemons.

It seems he knows little about modern day "lemons" and their properties. Here"s some major ignorance points he shared with us all on his views just recently.

I think Alex Gurevich said it best:

I was mentioning this all to my lovely wife the other night, and you know what she said?

She said that if he was a she (Jamie that is), he probably wouldn"t be so arrogant and may look at the manual. Which in this case is, of course, Satoshi"s white paper.

And, as usual, she"s right. When we got our last DVD thingy player she immediately pulled out the manual to learn about how it all works so that when she wants to, she"ll be able to play exactly what she wants without delay and mess and fuss.

Me? I stabbed away at the buttons, safe in the knowledge that even if I"m trying to get the Blu-ray to play, I"ll probably get the USB figured out, and who knows what excellent films are on the thumb drive I"ve shoved in there.

I console myself with the fact I"m male, and as such, reading the manual is against my religion. But I tend to make up for it by diving in and learning by doing.

Jamie, bless him, isn"t even prepared to do either, and that"s fine.

It just means that when Bitcoin hits another all time high and history books are written (by the robots, of course), he won"t even make the pages. He"ll simply be like all those other sailors in Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands who, in the 1800s, were sailing around at the same time Captain James Cook was.

And you know what? We don"t know anything about them, and neither will future generations know anything about the present Captain of the USS enterprise JPMorgan"s Jamie "I don"t know isht about Bitcoin" Dimon.

And that"s probably how it should be.

- Chris

Kid Rock for Senate in 2018? Robert Ritchie gave his first speech and it was good

GRAND RAPIDS (INTELLIHUB) — Robert James Ritchie, a.k.a. Kid Rock, recently gave a speech before one of his concerts where he had thousands of fans cheering at the top of their lungs.

The famed American rocker took the stage like a boss with a flag waving girl to either side as a banner hung in the background which read: “Kid Rock 18′ for U.S. Senate.”

“What’s going on in the world today? Rock asked the crowd. “It seems the government wants to give us all health insurance but wants us to pay.” [Many cheers could be heard in the crowd.]

During his speech, Rock also mentioned the elite’s plan for the “redistribution of wealth” and said that women need to quit popping out kids.

“Read my lips,” Rock said. “We should not reward these women who can’t even take care of themselves but keep having kid after fu*king kid.”

Rock continued, “Of course we want to help them out. I don’t want to sit here and sound like a jerk but let’s help them out with childcare, job training to put their god damn asses to work.”

Why You Might As Well Be Painting A Giant Bulls-Eye On Your Bank Account

Authored by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com,

Vegetarians be forewarned… you won’t like what follows.

We slaughtered a pig yesterday at the farm. I have two freezers full of pork now, and countless strips of bacon curing in the kitchen.

I’ve written about this before– out here at the farm I’m able to organically produce almost everything that I eat… meat, eggs, rice, nuts, and just about every kind of fruit and vegetable imaginable. A lot of it gets canned and stored.

We even grow wheat which we turn into organic flour, plus oats and all sorts of other grains.

As I’ve described in the past, this is a pretty powerful feeling. I know that, no matter what happens in the world, I’ll always have a source of food.

And even if it’s all rainbows and buttercups from here on out, I get to eat clean, organic food. There’s hardly any downside.

Invariably as I meet people throughout my travels around the world, I’m always asked why I spend so much time in Chile.

I usually tell them about my business ventures here and that I founded a company that’s rapidly becoming one of the largest blueberry producers in the world.

But when I talk about the farm and growing my own food, people often respond with furrowed eyebrows and a hint of derision– “Oh, so you’re, like, preparing for the end of the world…”

It’s as if embracing a little bit of independence and self-reliance requires paranoid delusion and chronic pessimism.

Fortunately I’m no longer in middle school, so my decisions aren’t based on what the cool kids might think.

In truth I’m wildly optimistic about the future.

Yes, there will come a time when bankrupt western governments will have to suffer the consequences of their reckless financial decisions.

And if history and human nature are any guides, there will also likely be more war… whether it’s conventional, cyber, or financial.

Financial markets will spasm and crash. Then soar to new highs. Then crash again. And forever continue this boom/bust cycle.

But despite these challenges, our species has unprecedented access to technology and opportunities that were literally inconceivable just a few decades ago.

The fact that you’re even reading this was completely unimaginable when I was a kid growing up in the early 1980s.

So, yeah, plenty of challenges before us. But the future is bright for anyone with the common sense to acknowledge these risks and the willingness to take basic steps to reduce their exposure.

It’s not about fear or paranoia. Normal, intelligent, rational people have a Plan B, especially when certain risks are so obvious.

Example- if you happen to be living in the most litigation-prone, lawyered-up country that has ever existed in the history of the world… a place where frivolous lawsuits abound and horrendous penalties are the norm… WHY ON EARTH would you hold 100% of your assets, income, and livelihood there?

You might as well paint a giant bulls-eye on your bank account.

Similarly, if you’re living in a country where the government, by its own financial reports, admits that it is flat freaking broke, why put yourself in a position where they can so easily pillage your savings?

If your country’s pension fund (i.e. Social Security) announces that it is running out of money, isn’t it just plain old common sense to start independently saving for your own retirement, outside of that broken pension system?

If there’s a Category 5 hurricane heading anywhere near your location, doesn’t it make sense to have a few days of nonperishable food and water… just in case?

For that matter, doesn’t it make sense to have a bit of food and water on hand even without a hurricane in the neighborhood?

It’s hard to imagine you’ll worse off for having a small supply of water in the basement.

Maybe you never need it. Big deal.

But if the day comes that you ever do need it, it will be too late to go down to the grocery store and pick some up.

This is the hallmark of a great Plan B. These steps are utterly simple. Cheap. Sometimes even free. And have absolutely zero downside.

But should you ever need it, these tiny insurance policies can make a world of difference.

That’s not fear or paranoia. It’s just smart.

Do you have a Plan B?

If you live, work, bank, invest, own a business, and hold your assets all in just one country, you are putting all of your eggs in one basket. You’re making a high-stakes bet that everything is going to be ok in that one country — forever. All it would take is for the economy to tank, a natural disaster to hit, or the political system to go into turmoil and you could lose everything—your money, your assets, and possibly even your freedom.

Kid Rock steals Michigan Senate GOP Primary in new poll

(INTELLIHUB) A news poll was taken between July 25 and July 27 which shows Kid Rock, a.k.a. Robert Ritchie, leading the Michigan GOP Primary by a good margin.

According to the Daily Caller:

The poll released by Trafalgar Group shows that indeed it will be “game on” if Ritchie runs. The musician leads among potential Republican candidates with 49.62 percent. In second is “undecided” with 28.10 percent.

In a general election match-up, Democratic incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow leads with 43.37 percent and Ritchie is at 41.17 percent. However, when including voters who are leaning towards either candidate, Ritchie leads with 48.6 percent and Stabenow is at 46.09 percent.

The famed rock star and Michigan local plans to call a press conference within the next six weeks to announce if he is going to run for U.S. Senate. As of yet, it’s looking good.

The Rollover Trio

From the Slope of Hope: Let"s take a step back - --  a few thousand steps back, actually - - and drink in a very long view of the stock market. We"ll use the S&P 500 as our observed entity. Here it is below, spanning several decades, with three major tops tinted.

You will notice something distinct that that third "top", which is that, unlike its green-tinted predecessors, it didn"t mark a top at all. It was shaped like a top. It was timed like a top. It was just about as good a top as the market gods can create. And yet it merely preceded another 35% rise in the market in a mere eighteen months. I"ve marked with an arrow that fateful day, February 11, 2016, which in hindsight marked one hell of a risk-free buying opportunity.

Turning the pages back on Slope, I took a look to see what kinds of things were being written. Here"s an item from MPTrader which lays out precisely the same stuff I was thinking:

Of course, that notation about "...the Fed is not actively and overtly buying assets" were like famous last words, because the central bankers of the entire planet piled in and did just that. As for myself, on February 11th 2016, I made this foolish mistake:

That probably marked, within moments, the precise bottom. Suffice it to say that my pledge to never show Chocolate Rain or Let "Em Burn is quite clearly important to heed.

Of course, over in ZeroHedge, the massive top was not lost upon them either:

So, yeah, we permabear pornsters were all excited, and we were also dead wrong. But let"s examine these last three tops in a bit of detail.

The first top was the Internet bubble. Now keep in mind, since we"re looking at the S&P 500, and not the NASDAQ, the gyrations aren"t as extreme, but there was still a squeaky-clean equity top. We can see the peak in March 2000 tinted in yellow, but as the arrow points out, the market didn"t really commit itself to an oh-my-God-everything-is-falling market for another fourteen months. At the arrow mark, the S&P was down, yes, but only 14%, and it was about to embark on a much bigger fall (including this little thing called 9/11 which was going to take place a few months later).

Seven years after the first top, the second one formed. The peak was October 2007, and as before, even though it started getting pretty wild, there was still plenty of "fight" left in the market, and 10 months later, it was like a carbon copy of the first top: a drop of about 14% which would soon to followed by something truly cataclysmic.

Which brings us to the third top, which I like to think of as an aborted top. (To quote Kay from the Godfather Part 2: "Michael, you are blind. It wasn"t a miscarriage. It was an abortion. An abortion, Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion. Something that"s unholy and evil.") The market peaked in May 2015. It fell - - yep, you guessed it - - 14%.......

......and then THIS shit happened..........

It"s often stated that "It"s different this time" are the most dangerous words in the world of trading. Well, not this instance, huh? Because it WAS different this time, and those who foolishly bought stocks when it looked like the world was going to collapse a third time have made out like bandits.

So what now? Well, as you might imagine the utter failure of the can"t-miss, totally perfect stock market top has rattled my confidence just a touch. So my honest answer is:

I will say this, however: I do believe history repeats itself. And I further believe that what the market SHOULD have been allowed to do was, God forgive me, actually be allowed to do what markets do and act as a tool for honest price discovery.

It wasn"t allowed to do this, however, and I"m pretty sure I know why: the financial crisis scared the holy hell out of the entire world, particularly the central bankers. They have pledged - - and have demonstrated their commitment to this pledge - - that they will never, ever, EVER, allow such a thing to happen again. They will do whatever it takes, sacrifice any future, and use whatever "tools" they can create to prevent such a thing. It"s almost like what is said of the holocaust: "NEVER AGAIN."

This was expressed quite honestly by Yellen when she made the jaw-dropping declaration that there would not be another financial crisis in our lifetimes.

As disappointed (and shocked) as I am that the picture-perfect top of 2015/2016 turned out to be a triple-decker nothing burger with special sauce, I still hold the perhaps naive viewpoint that global markets are ultimately larger than those trying to manipulate them. The decline that the third top should have preceded is still waiting in the wings, although it has grown much more powerful, since the suppression of those natural market forces will simply allow them to be expressed more violently once they are uncontrollable.

Prayers delayed are not prayers denied. Neither are market tops.

Intellihub Exclusive: Tupac Shakur alive, currently in jail? Official records show…

Last Updated: April 14, 2017, at 2:45 p.m. EST

LOS ANGELES (INTELLIHUB) — Intellihub has discovered that the famous rapper Tupac Amaru Shakur may be alive and well after all and we have official police records to prove it but officials claim otherwise.

According to the Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Department’s official website Inmate Information Center, Shakur was arrested on Mar. 3, 2017, by the Los Angeles Police Department Hollywood Division at 5 p.m. local time and was taken in on a “felony charge” under booking no.: 4922098.

Shakur is currently being housed at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility which is located at 450 Bauchet Street in Los Angeles and is scheduled for court Friday, April 14, at 8:30 a.m.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department

Shakur is being held on $80,000 bail.

TMZ has reported that law enforcement sources told TMZ that the suspect’s real name is “Clarence Campbell” and that Campbell is not the real Tupac. However, conflicting information must be affirmed in order to be sure. Needless to say, the police may have planted a ruse on TMZ by telling them that the suspect in custody is Campbell when in actuality he could potentially be the real Tupac! Keep in mind that I am making no claims here that are 100%, I am only providing information in which I have come across.

TMZ reports: “Law enforcement tells us the suspect’s real name is Clarence Campbell, but he uses ‘Pac as an alias. He’s also used the name during multiple previous arrests — including one for battery — so cops are hip to the game. Docs show Campbell’s real name is attached to his arrest records.”

But Sheriff’s Department records show that Clarence Campbell is clearly a different person and is listed under an entirely different booking number altogether (no. 4583352). While it’s true that Campbell has indeed used the alias “Tupac Shakur” and various forms of the name — Campbell is not scheduled to appear in court Friday, April 14, like the other booked individual is.

Moreover, you can clearly see by looking at Campbell’s booking info below that he is born on Feb. 10, 1970 and is 46 years old and is not 45-years-old like Tupac would be. Not to mention his height is only 5′-9″, not 5′-10″ like the Tupac Shakur listed under booking no. 4922098.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department

RECON

We need someone in the vicinity of L.A. to capture video footage or photographs of the suspect, just to see if the suspect booked under the number 4922098, under the name “Tupac Amaru Shakur,” looks even remotely close to the real Tupac, resembles the actual, late, Tupac in any way, shape, or form. That’s the only way we will put the story to rest.

Infamous BMW crime scene photos widely publicized after Tupac Shakur’s Vegas shooting staged: 100% proof

(INTELLIHUB) — Death Row Records rapper Tupac Shakur was gunned down at the corner of E. Flamingo Rd. and Koval Ln. on the night of Sept. 7, 1996, while cruising the streets of Las Vegas after the Tyson vs. Seldon fight at the MGM Hotel in Suge Knights black 1996 BMW 750iL, or so the story goes.

However, Intellihub has uncovered startling new evidence which proves that the BMW filmed in the ‘official crime scene video’ which was captured on the night of the shooting is not, in fact, the same BMW pictured in ‘official crime scene photos’ allegedly belonging to Death Row Records owner Suge Knight.

Astonishingly, the 1996 BMW 750il pictured below, which also appears in official crime scene photos is not the same BMW captured on video at the actual scene that night.

Look at the rims — especially the on the front passenger side — they have spokes and are noticeably bent from when Suge reportedly drove over the median in the opposite direction to flee from the shooting.

Now, look at a screencapture of the front passenger side wheel on the actual video shot from the crime scene that night — it’s a 5-star design and does not have spokes like the BMW pictured in official crime scene photos.

We can also see from the video that the BMW is a wagon hatchback model, like the 525 TDsl and not a sedan as pictured in crime scene photos.

Not to mention suspicious audio can be heard in the actual video which can be heard here at about 0:59.

“I did this. I shot some loopholes and shit,” a voice can be heard saying in the video while laughing.

Also, It appears that rapper Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz can be seen at the scene in two different outfits, hinting that they were filmed/photographed on two separate occasions. Kadafi was reported to be in a car directly behind the BMW.

Another, show descrepancies between the police as if there are two seperate scenes.

Additionally, a police officer named David Myers also gave a deathbed confession that he helped Tupac and Suge fake Tupa’s death in 1996.

Were the crime scene photos or the video staged?

Late Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur’s mother says her son ‘chose to leave quietly in the end’

"Can"t fix it for my baby"

(INTELLIHB) — In an interview filmed after her son’s alleged death, Afeni Shakur-Davis, mother of the late famous rapper Tupac Shakur, admits that her son was “tired of fighting” and hinted that the famous rapper may still be alive and in hiding.

It’s well known that Tupac was, in his own words, just “trying’ to sell records,” however, his life in the fast lane would keep landing the rap superstar into trouble and even winded up getting him shot for the first time in November of 1994 at the age of 23 in the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan where he suffered five gunshot wounds which he later recovered from.

“He was tired of fighting. He was tired of being vilified. He was tired of being called things that he knew inside of himself he was unable to be,” Afeni Shakur-Davis said. “I think he was just tired.”

She went on to say, “He had a right. Basically, he had a right and I couldn’t change it as a mother. You’re powerless. Can’t change it. Can’t make it right. Can’t fix it for my baby. So you know, I wish he was here every day but I don’t want him to be unhappy. And I know that my son […] chose his life and he chose — you know — in the end, he chose to leave quietly — and I think I can leave him alone.”

Ron Paul: "Peace Is Popular... People Don't Start The Wars"

Authored by Chris Campbell via lfb.org,

Last week, Ron Paul and many other notables in the liberty sphere took to the stage in Lake Jackson, Texas, for a very important symposium.

The topic of discussion? War and Peace in the Age of Trump.

As promised, today we present to you highlights from Ron Paul’s speech, Peace is Popular.

Lots of great stuff to cover.

So let’s get to it…

Ron Paul on liberty…

“Liberty is a young idea,” Dr. Paul began. “It’s really not something that’s been around for thousands and thousands of years. And the benefits of liberty have just been rather recent. I think of the Industrial Revolution as a consequence of an understanding of economic liberty. And with the tremendous advancements that have existed with the Industrial Revolution I’ve always wondered, why don’t we advance in the social revolution?

“If we learn how to build so many wonderful things and the standard of living goes up for so many people and we have all of these luxuries, why is it that we haven’t figured out how to stay out of killing each other?

“So at the same time we’ve had all of this advancement that helped us with technological things and the Industrial Revolution, we’ve had more killing than ever before.

“Just think of the 20th century, with all of that advancement. I can’t help but think about my dad talking to me about when the family dairy started. He delivered milk in a horse and wagon. And that was at the beginning of the last century. It was so recent and yet we haven’t advanced very much in this social sphere of how we get along with people. I am an optimist because I believe we should be able to do that. And when you look at the history of mankind, it’s really so very young.”

“Peace is popular.”

“I think peace is popular. Very popular. Not just among us, I think with all people. The big question is, if peace is popular and people want it, why are there so many wars?

“And that’s really a serious question… what’s going on? Especially when I go to the campuses and talk to young people, they’re not saying, ‘Yeah, let’s go have another war. We’d like to go off and get exposed to the killing and we want all the death to deal with. And we want to deal with inflation. No. That group of individuals are generally less pro-war than the rest.

“I can remember one time that I made a charge that this particular piece of legislation was pro-war. And it was on the side of the Republicans that were promoting this piece of legislation. And boy, I had one ex-military official come up to me. He was so annoyed, he said: ‘I am not pro-war!’

“They don’t see themselves that way. And yet, they are pro-war. If I had to look back and guess on the number of people I’ve met throughout my lifetime… you know, from grade school on up and the many people I’ve met in the past 15 or 20 years in politics… tens of thousand, and exposed to hundreds of thousands of people, I would say that 90% of the people I come into contact with are really pro peace.

“Peace is what they want. Why is it that although 90% of the people really want to live in peace, we don’t live in peace?

The problem of war…

“Our problem is not so much the people become supportive of war or promote the war. Too many of them are very apathetic and complacent and just go along. But the big problem is, that the people, the citizens, the people who suffer from the war, don’t start the wars. The real problem that we have to understand is it’s the government and the government policies that cause the war and that’s what we have to restrain.

“So I think what happens… is people who have psychopathic and aggressive personalities and enjoy telling other people how to live — whether it’s in a social, economic or military sense — they like power. There is an opening and those people themselves don’t have much resistance. And governments tend to have, over the centuries, assumed a lot more power. And this just opens up the door for people who just want the power. And even those who go with good intentions to Washington, they are consumed with this attitude and they are part of the system.

“One term I don’t like is ‘moderation in politics,’ because I believe it’s a sacrifice of principles. What I like to think about in politics as far as making corrections because there’s so many imperfections, is to work with coalitions. And that is, there are a lot of people that might not be true libertarians, but they have a set of principles where they’d like to see a lot less killing and a lot less war and there’s no reason in the world we can’t be talking to the Dennis Kucinich’s of the world. Who will stand up for peace and this, to me, is I think the real answer. Moderates, when they come together, they have to sacrifice their true conviction.

Although the non-aggression principle, if widely adopted, would solve many incessant problems we face today, “One thing you can’t solve,” says Dr. Paul, “is the problem of good and evil. Adams said, ‘We the founders have given you a republic if you can keep it.’ And he said the moral standings of the people will make the difference. When the people become immoral, the system doesn’t work. At the same time, the problem is the immoral people get into government.

Why secession and nullification are important…

In order to keep government in check, says Paul, we need to have a clear definition of the role of government.

“The role and purpose of government should be to protect liberty. That’s it. That’s what our goal should be.”

In order to do so, we need to repeal the vast majority of what today’s government does.

“You have to have a system where the government is strictly limited. What would it mean? It would mean, first off, that we should be able to have a position in a county like ours, that our states should always have a right to secede. It’s the right to secede that’s important. That would hold the federal government in check. The government would have to be careful. But even if they had nullification, which is a strong issue of Jefferson. Just so we as a people, the local people, the local and state governments, didn’t like what the feds were doing, and if they’re violating the Constitution, you oughta be able to opt out and nullify it. That would hold a big check on the federal government as well.

“And the neat part about this is it’s coming. We are going to have chaos. We’re going to have economic chaos. We’re going to have the political fallout from our foreign interventionism. The world will turn against us and we are going to have an opportunity for a lot of nullification. It’s already happening.”

“I think it’s fantastic that the issue of the ridiculous War on Drugs is coming to an end because the states and the people are nullifying these laws and saying ‘stay away.’  I hope that doesn’t get reversed with this administration, but at least we’re making progress there. And I think that is great.

“I was out in Arizona, because they’re passing a bill out there and it’s very popular. Trying to follow the Constitution on the money issue. Because the directive is to the states. The states are not allowed to use anything other than gold and silver as legal tender. So who broke the law? The government broke the law. They were explicit in the Constitution that you can’t counterfeit. That you can’t debase the currency. And they were very explicit. We’re not allowed to debase the currency. But the government is. And that is why this principle, that basic Bastiat principle, that if you and I cannot do something, if you and I can’t steal from people, we can’t debase the currency, and we can’t rob and kill and do all of these things, why in the world have we allowed our governments to do that?

“We have to curtail that power. So we just can’t just go out and kill people because it’s against the law and it’s immoral… why do we allow our governments to do this constantly? With bombs and missiles and threats and boycotts… all of the things we do. We have to be able to apply these basic principles that have been understood. But it’s turned out that our governments did this to hold us in check. To say, ‘You can’t do this. You can’t do that. You bend the rules, we’re going to get you.’

“But they’re exempt. And this sucks in the people who love that power. And most people are too lackadaisical and too apathetic.

“We need to get rid of the apathy. We need to stand up and be engaged. Everybody has a responsibility. And I’ve often talked about the responsibility of us as individuals.”

We are the eight percent.

Dr. Paul makes an important point we’ve made here in our virtual pages plenty of times before. Democracy obscures the truth of how changes in society are really made.

All throughout history, it has been a creative minority, not 51% of the population, that has helped bring incredible leaps of human progress to fruition. A relatively small group of changemakers blazed the trail and the rest of the population, seeing this new path was a better option than the status quo’s, simply traipsed through.

Today is no different.

“I think that we need eight percent of the population to really change the world,” says Dr. Paul. “Eight percent to lead the charge.”

If you’re reading this, it’s very likely you belong to that eight percent.

Gun Owners Vs. Social Justice Warriors

Excellent news item.  The only one involved unharmed and actually saving a life is the only one not mentioned in the official statement. :-/ 

Occurs to me a few odd points about the article"s account of the events:

1) The samaritan left his vehicle w/o being armed (not so strange, but... inadvisable?) and had to ask the officer being assaulted by the highway shooter/assailant if he required assistance (situational awareness?? - the officer was reportedly already shot and getting his head pounded into the pavement).

2) How was the officer able to respond "please help me" while getting his head pounded in the pavement?

3) The samaritan then goes back to his car and retrieves his gun while the assailant continues to pummel the officer?  Did the assailant just disregard the samaraitan all together?

4) Samaritan returns and shoots the assailant.  What happened to the assailant"s firearm he used to shoot the officer?

Anyways - very strange.  Maybe lucky for the samaritan and the officer that the assailant was spaced??  Tactical fail all around.  If I saw a bloodied officer getting his head pounded I think I would have drawn down from cover/concealment before even approaching.  At the very least not advertise my posistion while assessing.  

50 Years Of Teaching Math In 'Exceptional' America

How America became "exceptional"...

Source: The Burning Platform

*  *  *

Of course, as we noted previously, our system of education is not entirely to blame.  The truth is that young Americans spend far more time consuming media than they do hitting the books, and what passes for “entertainment” these days is rapidly turning their brains to mush.

According to a report put out by Nielsen, this is how much time the average American spends consuming media on various devices each day…

Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutes

Watching time-shifted television: 30 minutes

Listening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutes

Using a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutes

Using Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutes

When you add it all up, the average American spends more than 10 hours a day plugged into some form of media.

And if you allow anyone to pump “programming” into your mind for 10 hours a day, it is going to have a dramatic impact.

In the end, I truly believe that we all greatly underestimate the influence that the mainstream media has on all of us.  We willingly plug into “the Matrix” for endless hours, but then somehow we still expect “to think for ourselves”.

There are very few of us that can say that we have not been exposed to thousands upon thousands of hours of conditioning.  And all of that garbage can make it very, very difficult to think clearly.

It is not because of a lack of input that we have become so stupid as a society.  The big problem is what we are putting into our minds.

If we continue to put garbage in, we are going to continue to get garbage out, and that is the cold, hard reality of the matter.
