NEW by Whitney Webb: Trump Embraces The “Bitcoin-dollar”, Stablecoins To Entrench US Financial Hegemony
Trump’s recent speech on bitcoin and crypto embraced policies that will seek to mold bitcoin into an enabler of irresponsible fiscal policy and will employ programmable, surveillable stablecoins to expand and entrench dollar dominance.
This past Saturday, former president Donald Trump addressed the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, expounding upon the crypto and bitcoin policies likely to be implemented as part of a likely future Trump administration....
Talk of a threatened dollar has been circulating for years, with the petrodollar system now having ended and increasingly influential power blocs seeking alternatives to the dollar as a reserve currency. However, Trump – per his recent speech – seems poised to employ bitcoin as a sink for out-of-control U.S. government debt and to unleash the expansion of digital dollar stablecoins, which are already quietly dollarizing numerous countries in the Global South as the consequences of Covid-era fiscal policies continue to decimate the purchasing power of the 99% globally.
Trump promised, among other things, to “create a framework to enable the safe, responsible expansion of stablecoins […] allowing us to extend the dominance of the U.S. dollar to new frontiers all around the world.” He then asserted that, as a result of his future administration’s embrace of dollar stablecoins, “America will be richer, the world will be better, and there will be billions and billions of people brought into the crypto economy and storing their savings in bitcoin.” Bitcoin mining was also a later focus of the speech, with Trump claiming that “America will become the world’s undisputed bitcoin mining powerhouse.” This would further entrench something else touched on by Trump, that “the United States government is among the largest holders of bitcoin.”
https://youtu.be/9UxAUryUKXM
He then discussed his views on the relationship between bitcoin and the dollar: ¨Bitcoin is not threatening the dollar. The behavior of the current U.S. government is really threatening the dollar.¨ However, the “threatening” behavior to which Trump refers, the perpetual money printing of the Federal Reserve system, has been the policy of every U.S. president for roughly the past century, with Trump himself being no exception. Indeed, under Trump, more money was printed than under any president in history, as the Covid-19 crisis “unleashed the largest flood of federal money into the United States economy in recorded history.” ..
Thus, any policy that unites bitcoin and the dollar – whether under Trump or another future president – would most likely be aimed at enabling the same monetary policy that currently threatens the dollar. The most likely outcome under Trump, as outlets like CNBC have speculated, would be making bitcoin a reserve asset and, as a consequence, a sink for the inflation caused by the government’s perpetual expansion of the money supply. Ironically, bitcoin would then become the enabler of the very problem it had long been heralded as solving.
Not only that, but bitcoin would then become the anchor that would allow the U.S. government to weaponize the dollar against economies where local currencies fail to withstand the pressures of an increasingly unstable economy, effectively supplanting the local currency with digital dollars. This phenomenon, already under way in countries like Argentina, brings with it significant opportunities for the U.S. government to financially surveil the “billions and billions of people” to be brought onto dollar stablecoin platforms, some of which have already onboarded the FBI and Secret Service and frozen wallets at their request.

Iraq Boosts Security On Syrian Border After US Proxies Free Hundreds Of ISIS Fighters
Officials from Mosul say the released ISIS fighters have been 'dispersed along the Iraqi borders' with no monitoring
The Iraqi armed forces have increased security along the country’s border with Syria following the release of hundreds of ISIS fighters from prison camps controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
“The porous nature of the Iraq–Syria border, coupled with the ongoing conflict in the region, creates ideal conditions for ISIS to regroup and launch attacks,” Ahmad al-Sharifi, a strategic expert, told Shafaq News Agency on 1 August, adding that Baghdad has increased patrols along the border region and are “closely monitoring the situation in northeastern Syria.”
Sharifi also explained that the prisoner release is a result of the need by the SDF to “free up manpower for the frontlines” to face a potential confrontation with Turkiye.
In mid-July, authorities from the SDF-controlled Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) issued a general amnesty that has so far secured the release of over 1,500 Syrian ISIS fighters convicted of terrorism-related offenses, provided they “did not participate directly in combat” against the SDF.
The US-backed SDF holds thousands of ISIS fighters and their family members in around two dozen prison camps in occupied northeast Syria. These include 2,000 foreigners whose home countries have refused to repatriate them.
“All those released by SDF have been dispersed along the Iraqi borders, and there is no monitoring. According to gathered information by the Iraqi government, none of these released ISIS fighters hold Iraqi citizenship and are all foreigners,” ...
The mass release of ISIS fighters in northeast Syria coincides with an expansion of Turkiye’s military campaign against Kurdish groups on its borders with Iraq and Syria, plus renewed attacks by local resistance factions against US bases in both nations.
The move by the SDF also follows an ongoing resurgence of the extremist armed group in Syria, where they have repeatedly launched bloody attacks against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

Mexican President Says No Evidence of Fraud in Venezuela Elections — 7/31
Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday there was no evidence of fraud in an election that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claims he won but which the opposition contests and has sparked nationwide protests.
Lopez Obrador also reinstated his call for transparency and called on the Venezuelan electoral body to show evidence and make public all the voting tallies from Sunday's elections.
"I have no proof, there is no evidence in the case of Venezuela," the president said during his daily press conference, answering a question about potential fraud in Venezuela's election.
He also said Mexico will not participate in an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) permanent council scheduled for Wednesday after nine Latin American governments have called for one.
"We do not agree with the OAS' biased attitude," he said during the conference, saying the organization acknowledged the victory of Venezuelan opposition candidate too soon.
The Mexican president said earlier this week he would wait for Venezuela's election results to be reported fully before he recognized a winner.
Other countries and international organizations have expressed concerns about Sunday's election, while Lopez Obrador called for them to refrain from intervening in Venezuela.

US Rejects Venezuelan Election Results, Declares Opposition Candidate the Winner
Washington has launched another attempt to remove Nicolas Maduro from power in Caracas
On Thursday, the State Department said that Edmundo González Urrutia won Sunday’s presidential election. The Venezuelan government election agency announced that President Nicolas Maduro had won a third term.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Urrutia won the election by an “insurmountable margin.” “The announcement of results by the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) were deeply flawed, yielding an announced outcome that does not represent the will of the Venezuelan people,” America’s top diplomat said.
Blinken’s statement continued, “Given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States and, most importantly, to the Venezuelan people that Edmundo González Urrutia won the most votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election.”
The Secretary explained his conclusion was drawn from a report from the Carter Center, named for former US President Jimmy Carter. Blinken asserted the institute was “independent.” However, the Carter Center is funded by multiple US government agencies, including the State Department.
Over the past two decades, Washington has made multiple attempts to overthrow Maduro, and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. Under President Donald Trump, the White House backed Juan Guaido’s claim to the presidency in Caracas.

Edward Slavsquat / Riley Waggaman:
Greetings.
I recently had a delightful chat with Hrvoje Morić(@GeopoliticsAndEmpire) about all sorts of unfortunate things, like the Not War and YouTube Experts.
More uplifting topics, such as the joys of cow milk, were also mentioned.
You can watch/listen to our lively discussion here:
Riley Waggaman: The Only Alternative Multipolarity Offers is a Faster & Harder Digital Gulag!
Riley Waggaman returns to give us an update on the Not-War in Ukraine and the state of things in the Russian Federation. Denazification has not occurred in Ukraine, Kiev has never been more militarized, and NATO has expanded and been galvanized even more all thanks to Putin and the Kremlin.
All of Moscow's "red lines" have been crossed, none of this makes any sense. It seems more like oligarchic in-fighting. It's not clear what real alternative BRICS and multipolarity will provide since they will force-inject you and cattle tag you with Digital ID just like in the G20 West!

Kyle said he would write in Ron Paul this year, so an army of MAGA influencers descended on him, accusing him of being a traitor or being a paid bad actor, [and encouraging mass unfollowing]..
[Within 12 hours he apologized and endorsed Trump.]
This mob is not at all different from mobs like BLM. One person stepping out of line a threat to the whole thing, so they’ll pull out all the stops to bring you back into the fold or cast you out forever. The main takeaway is that this is what you’re going to see again and again if Trump wins, a machine that will intimidate and crush anyone who is critical of Trump on policy. Policies that might otherwise encounter resistance will not because of this dynamic.

Telegram’s New Era Merges Chat and Web: In-App Browser, Mini App Store, and More
On the last day of July, the encrypted messenger Telegram announced that the previous batch of updates concerns the in-app Telegram Browser, the Mini App Store, and more.
The browser has search, multiple tabs, bookmarks, and other standard functionality, as well as Web3 features that an announcement from the company said are immediately available thanks to the browser supporting decentralized sites on the TON blockchain network.
This is available to all users, which Telegram claims now number nearly one billion.
Instead of closing the browser, the in-app one now allows for collapsing and again opening pages from the bottom bar, meaning that Telegram users can now seamlessly switch between reading and posting messages, and being on a website or playing a game while saving their progress.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said in a post on his platform that the ability to switch between these different elements means that communications and news consumption are now “merged” on the app.
He also explained that in order to test using the TON feature, users can open the link, tonsite://getting-started.ton.

JPost Editorial | Let’s Put Our Grievances Aside. It’s Time To Bring the Hostages Home and End Their 300-Day Nightmare.
After 300 days, Israel's military strikes Hamas leaders, yet hostage negotiations remain stalled. Will recent successes lead to a breakthrough deal?
..After months of fighting, several top figures in Hamas’s military and political wings have been killed: Saleh al-Arouri, Marwan Issa, Mohammed Deif (supposedly), and now Ismail Haniyeh, whose death in Tehran, attributed to Israel by foreign reports, came hours after senior Hezbollah official Fuad Shukr was killed in Beirut...
However, while progress has been made on targeted killings of top terrorist organization leaders 300 days into the war, efforts to come to a deal to free the hostages from captivity in Gaza have been far more stagnant.
300 days, and still no deal
For 300 days, 115 people have remained trapped in the Gaza Strip. For 300 days, their families and loved ones have been crying out for Israel to bring them home. And with no progress being made in negotiations through Qatari and Egyptian mediators, their fates remain uncertain.
In the early days of the war, the shared trauma of October 7 and the desire to see the hostages returned home were what brought the Israeli public together, creating a sense of unity following the heightened social divisions of the judicial reform crisis. But as the war progressed, that unity has ebbed and faded, and tensions and divisions once again characterize this country’s fractured society.
There is still no hostage deal in sight.
.. Others even claim that Netanyahu is intentionally creating obstacles to achieve a deal so his coalition will stay intact. [He is.]

Photo Of Disposable Vape With Touch-Screen Features Sparks Outrage Online: ‘Because We Don’t Have Enough Batteries in Our Waste Dumps
A recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter, has ignited a heated discussion about the wasteful design of some disposable vape products.
The post, which was later shared on Reddit's r/Anticonsumption community, showcases a disposable vape from the brand Swype that features a touch screen displaying apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, X, and WeChat.
What's happening?
The X post expresses frustration and sadness over the design of this disposable vape unit. According to the post, the Swype vape includes an OLED display, a microprocessor, a Bluetooth module, and a touch digitizer, all of which are meant to be thrown away just a month after purchase.
"Lord alive this makes me so sad," the X user writes....
Reddit users, who saw the sentiments reposted to the r/Anticonsumption page, agreed. "Sure, because we don't have enough batteries in our waste dumps," one sarcastic user wrote.
Why are disposable vapes concerning?
Disposable vapes, particularly those with advanced features like touch screens and Bluetooth connectivity, contribute to the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste).... When these devices are discarded, they often end up in landfills or are incinerated, releasing harmful toxins into the environment. The production of these devices also requires the extraction of valuable resources, such as rare earth metals, which can have significant environmental and social consequences.

AI Censorship Bill Raises Free Speech Concerns
An updated version of what critics refer to as the AI censorship bill, Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe Act (NO FAKES Act) has been introduced by senators Chris Coons, a Democrat, and Republican Marsha Blackburn.
The goal of the bill – that first saw the light of day last October as a discussion draft – is to ban what it calls unauthorized digital replicas while providing exemptions for parody, satire, use in documentaries, and other forms of generated content that should fall under the fair use rule.
The entertainment industry is happy with the legislative proposal, with support pouring in from Disney, the Motion Picture Association, Recording Industry Association of America, SAG-AFTRA, agencies, and more.
SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild), which wants a likeness act at the federal instead of the state level as is the case now, backed the bill, mentioning the need to protect intellectual property and performers’ likenesses and brands.
We obtained a copy of the bill for you here .
But prominent digital rights group, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), is unconvinced that these exemptions will work in real life, and fears that the bill, if passed, will result in limiting free speech.

Lets look at a brief timeline since 2020[excerpt]
...They Wouldn’t Need To Censor Us if They Weren’t Lying
The lies surrounding Covid have woken many up many more to the reality of how capable the legacy media is at lying, as is the government. Similarly, Covid facilitated the awareness in millions that much of corporate mainstream “journalism” is nothing more than government propaganda..
....And despite the Covid censorship coming to light, the day isn’t saved. The Censorship industrial complex marches on."

Selective Service Repeal Act Reintroduced in the Senate
In the face of moves in Congress to ramp up U.S. readiness to activate a draft, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) have reintroduced an alternative proposal to step back from the brink of mass military mobilization by repealing the Military Selective Service Act.
In 2016 , 2021 , and again in 2022 , Congress came close to approving legislation to expand the requirement to register with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft to include young women as well as young men. In 2024, that proposal is moving forward again in Congress as part of the annaul National Defense [sic] Authorization Act (NDAA), along with a proposal to try to register all young people “ automatically ” for a possible draft.
The Selective Service Repeal Act , reintroduced this week in the Senate as S. 4881 , would instead end draft registration entirely. This bill has been introduced several times before in Congress, starting in 2019 , but has never gotten a hearing in either the House or the Senate.
Ending draft registration would put an end to the fantasy that the draft is always available as a “fallback” — a myth that enables planning for larger, longer, less popular wars without concern for whether people will volunteer to fight them.
Male U.S. citizens and residents are required to register with the Selective Service System when they turn 18, and notify Selective Service every time they change their address until their 26th birthday .
Draft boards have been appointed and trained throughout the U.S. The Selective Service System maintains contingency plans for a general “cannon fodder” draft of young men (based on the current list of registrants) and a separate Health Care Personnel Delivery System . Congress has ordered the Pentagon to conduct a comprehensive mobilization exercise including its readiness to activate a draft.

Turkiye Bans Instagram Following Accusation of Anti-Palestine Censorship
A Turkish official says Instagram is censoring posts mourning Israel's assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh
Turkiye / Turkey blocked access to Instagram on 2 August after allegations the US-based social media platform censored posts mourning the death of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh earlier this week, Reuters reported.
Turkiye’s infotech regulator, the Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK), announced the ban on its website on Friday without providing a reason or a timetable.
On Wednesday, Turkish communications official Fahrettin Altun criticized Instagram for what he called its decision to block condolence posts for Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Iran by Israel while attending the inauguration ceremony for Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on 31 July.
“This is censorship, pure and simple,” Altun, the communications director of the Turkish presidency, wrote on X, adding that Instagram had not cited any policy violations for its action.
There was no immediate comment from Meta Platforms Inc, Instagram and Facebook’s parent company.

Lawmakers Marshall and Gaetz Call for Probes into Big Tech’s Alleged Censorship of Trump Assassination Attempt, Seek Google and DHS Testimony
Google is being accused of doing its part to “memory-hole” one of the most serious incidents in American politics in decades – the attempted assassination of former president, now presidential candidate, Donald Trump.
Google’s search engine is leaving out relevant results in the autosuggest feature, thus decreasing the likelihood of users learning more about the event, and importantly, the investigation into it.
Senator Roger Marshall, a Republican who is a member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has announced a probe into this behavior, blasting Google at the same time for yet again engaging in censorship of conservatives, and, demonstrating “willful discrimination against President Trump and users of (the) search engine.”
For these reasons, Marshall wrote to Google CEO Sundar Pichai to tell him that he should show up before lawmakers and testify about the company’s conduct. The importance of this type of censorship is all the greater since, as the senator notes, Google is the largest search engine in the world.
We obtained a copy of the letter for you here .
But now, according to him, it has turned into “a propaganda wing of the Biden-Harris Administration and the radical Left.” The senator sees this as a form of election interference, accusing Big Tech in general of bias in favor first of the Clintons, then Biden, and now Kamala Harris.

Senator Roger Marshall, a Republican who is a member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has announced a probe into this behavior, blasting Google at the same time for yet again engaging in censorship of conservatives, and, demonstrating “willful discrimination against President Trump and users of (the) search engine.”
For these reasons, Marshall wrote to Google CEO Sundar Pichai to tell him that he should show up before lawmakers and testify about the company’s conduct. The importance of this type of censorship is all the greater since, as the senator notes, Google is the largest search engine in the world.

But now, according to him, it has turned into “a propaganda wing of the Biden-Harris Administration and the radical Left.” The senator sees this as a form of election interference, accusing Big Tech in general of bias in favor first of the Clintons, then Biden, and now Kamala Harris.

Congressional Commission Determines US ‘Not Prepared for Global War'
The report recommends Washington significantly boost its ballooning defense budget and 'foster an alliance that could lead to global war'
The US Commission on the National Defense Strategy, a congressionally mandated group with members handpicked by bipartisan lawmakers, has determined that Washington is unprepared to face a possible global war and must significantly overhaul its national defense strategy.
In its 132-page report, published by the RAND Corporation, the commission recommends Washington boost its nearly $1 trillion yearly defense budget to “Cold War-era levels” and urges the government to “foster an alliance that could lead to global war.”
“The United States must spend more effectively and efficiently to build the future force, not perpetuate the existing one. Additional resources will be necessary. Congress should pass a supplemental appropriation to begin a multiyear investment in the national security innovation and industrial base,” the report says.
Increasing Washington’s defense spending would allegedly address recruiting shortcomings, a “grossly inadequate” industrial base, and “underfunded cyber and space domains.”
Citing global “threats,” such as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, the commission endorsed its 2018 recommendation to increase base defense spending by 3 to 5 percent annually above inflation. US defense spending oscillated between 4.9 and 16.9 percent during the Cold War.
