‘Bitcoin’s Going To Be Worth A Trillion Dollars Soon’

Max and Stacy discuss copyright and patent fascism and the Trump administration starting some trade wars - from renegotiating Nafta to looking at China’s treatment of ‘intellectual property’. They also discuss the trillions in unexploited mineral resources in North Korea. In the second half Max interviews Dan Collins of TheChinaMoneyReport.com to discuss the ‘Doklam Transgression’ and the ‘Line of Actual Control’. The media has largely ignored the confrontation between India and China but will they notice if a hot war breaks out?

Trump’s Betrayal Is Complete As MIC [Military Industrial Complex] Rises To Power

By Finian Cunningham: If one moment stands out as the clearest signal yet of US President Trump turning his back on supporters, it was his announcement this week to re-escalate American military intervention in Afghanistan.
His signature campaign promise of putting “America First” and ending the folly of overseas wars launched by previous administrations was shredded on prime time television when he gave orders for thousands of more US troops to be sent to Afghanistan. The already 16-year war in that country – America’s longest – will now go on indefinitely longer.
The Huffington Post headlined: “Trump’s vague new Afghanistan strategy continues an endless war.”

Not only that, but this president is refusing to give any public information on force numbers or timescale. America’s overseas wars are not just expanding under Trump; they are going secret and unaccountable.

UK CPS Has Written A Tyrannical Snowflakes’ Charter

20th of August 2017, the UK crossed over to the dark side. In elevating online slights to the level of hate crime, the CPS has written a Snowflakes’ Charter

By Brendan O’Neill: We went from being a free-ish nation proud of its democratic traditions to one where officials talk openly about suppressing certain “views” and “opinions”.

The Crown Prosecution Service announced that online abuse, the hurling of barbs on Twitter and other platforms, would for the first time be treated as a hate crime.
Under new CPS guidelines — going into Stalinist detail about when online speech is criminal — virtual verbal mockery will be treated as seriously as a real-life scuffle in the street.

Alison Saunders, the tyrannical Director of UK Public Prosecutions

So firing off a tweet saying something hateful or sexist about a politician or journalist will be treated as a hate crime on a par with yelling racist abuse in someone’s face or lobbing a brick through a religious building’s window.
But Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, gave the game away with a Guardian column justifying this expansion of hate-policing online.
She said the guidelines are part of a broader conversation we need to have about tackling “extreme views” and finding ways to “prevent such opinions from gestating in the first place”.

Women Who Should Be In Prison

Jordan's decided to start listing occasions where Judges forget how to do their jobs. 

By Jordan Holbrook: It’s currently ten past eleven at night (correct at time of writing) and, I’m a bit ticked off. I was just browsing the news, social media, surfing the web, doing that sort of thing when I noticed yet another miscarriage of justice.
They’re becoming really common or, it feels like it.
Another criminal has been let off the hook despite committing a prison-worthy offence for no other reason aside from #gynocentrism.
So, being the sort that I am, I’ve decided to start compiling a list.
As of today, anytime I see a criminal be spared jail because “muh, vagina“, I am going to list it here. I will, sometime soon I suspect, add historical cases as well.
I will only be aiming for serious offences: offences that resulted in death, serious assault, sexual offences, that sort of thing.
The List will start small but, over time, will undoubtedly grow.
I am more than happy to accept suggestions.

Statistics Professor Banned By Google: Here Is His Story

By Tyler Durden: Statistics professor Salil Mehta, adjunct professor at Columbia and Georgetown who teaches probability and data science and whose work has appeared on this website on numerous prior occasions, was banned by Google on Friday.
What did Salil do to provoke Google? It is not entirely clear, however what is clear is that his repeated attempts at restoring his email, blog and other Google-linked accounts have so far been rejected with a blanket and uniform statement from the search giant.
Here is what happened, in Salil Mehta's own words.
Don’t do a googol of evil
Freedom is not free unless corporations who exert a large influence in our lives believe in our well-being.  I am a statistics professor and understand that there needs to be reasonable standards to control a large social network and make sure everyone is able to enjoy it freely.  Invariably people disagree (we all see this), but some principles, such as simply showing probability and statistics with the sole hope of educating others, should be acceptable and in the middle of the distribution.  I am for a higher standard, and a higher purpose.

Hypocrisy From The Left And The State On Hate Crime

“Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim

or any other person,

to be motivated by hostility or prejudice..."

By Jordan Holbrook: I’ll start with the State as this story leads quite nicely into the next. ...The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has revised its guidance for prosecutors, saying that tweeting abuse can be as “equally devastating” as shouting it. The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, has said online abuse can fuel “dangerous hostility”.
