JP’s anti-CBDC wish list 🤣

1. New gov’t elected Nov 2024, strong trends overwhelm any underhanded efforts

2. federal legislation passes prohibiting CBDC’s, WEF and WHO influence (like the recent Louisiana state bill)

3. US Dollar revamped with partial gold backing

4. New gold-backed Dollar concept causes over-inflated financial markets to crash and tangible assets like real estate, silver, metals, energy to increase in value. Markets return to reasonable values based on earnings and assets

5. All of our frens are smart enough to sell before the crash starts (this is an important one!)

6. New admin implements strict new laws per Ron Paul’s old idea that members of congress can not be eligible for re-election unless the federal budget is balanced (or at least I think that’s what it was)

7. National town hall forums held about how they tried to introduce a Chinese cultural revolution in the US and how we’ll never become complacent enough as a nation to let anything even close happen again

8. Marriages, families, babies back on the rise instead of declining

9. China’s economy and gov’t exposed to the world for the truth of what it really is — over-leveraged hype and soulless authoritarianism

What do you say frens … what’s on your WISH LIST?? 🤔

Facebook, TikTok, and X are gathering data through iPhone push notifications, even when users have closed the apps, according to researchers. What do you think they are doing with all this data?

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has ruled out issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for everyday use by the public.

SNB Chairman Thomas Jordan said current payment options offered by private companies are sufficient for consumers and businesses. He also expressed concerns that a public CBDC could disrupt the existing financial system.
However, the SNB is exploring the potential of a wholesale CBDC, a digital form of Swiss francs used for transactions between banks.

Linux is secure.  Linux gives you freedom. Linux is fun. Linux puts you back in control.

A new version of LibreOffice was released a few weeks ago.

A perfect replacement for the Microsoft Office suite on your computers—no telemetry, no “artificial intelligence,” just a solid Word Processor that doesn’t spy on you with Spreadsheet and Presentation tools that work the way they’re supposed to. And it’s free! Works on any PC, Mac, or Linux computer.

Ditch Microsoft Office today! LibreOffice is fully compatible with Microsoft Office file format, can open, read, and save files in the exact same formats, exchange them with your friends who are still on Microsoft, they won’t know the difference!

An old MacBook Pro or PC laptop, Linux Mint, LibreOffice - Awesome combination!

Yesterday, the Jeff.pro channel had a poll about the meaning of Microsoft’s monthly “patch Tuesday” updates.

Why this matters to you is more crucial than many people realize.

You see, Microsoft Windows, the computer Operating System many people trust with access to all of their computer’s data, is so unstable and full of bugs, that Microsoft sets aside a day every month to try to patch all of the security holes and flaws in it.

But this work is – apparently – never done.

Meaning, it’s never completely fixed. There’s another “patch Tuesday” every month, in a never-ending cycle of “Windows Updates” that try to cover up security vunerabilities with no end in sight.

This month’s Microsoft “patch Tuesday” attempted to fix 150!!! security flaws.

That’s right, 150 security problems in Microsoft Windows, and sixty-seven remote code execution bugs, ONLY SINCE LAST MONTH!!

The problems identified with Windows this month were, roughly:

31 Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities
29 Security Feature Bypass Vulnerabilities
67 Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities
13 Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities
7 Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
3 Spoofing Vulnerabilities

It’s ridiculous. And we’re supposed to trust all of our personal information, data, digital banking, to Microsoft Windows?

People say, “I’m not switching to Linux, because I’m not tech savvy.”

If the front entrance to your house was broken, would you leave it wide open 24/7 and say you’re not going to fix it, because you’re not sure how to hang a door? 🤣

Frens. This is serious stuff. Ridiculously out of control. Especially now with the mandatory artificial intelligence integration in Windows that gives Microsoft access to analyze everything on your entire computer. The time to fire Bill Gates, and switch your computers from Windows to Linux, is now!

Biden, Jake Sullivan, and Merrick Garland are against a warrant requirement!

House Judiciary GOP

BREAKING: AG Garland was calling individual House members and telling them to vote against the Biggs Amendment to FISA

The head of the Biden DOJ was sending a warning

Are you paying attention yet?

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just inexcusably voted against the American people and his voters by casting the tie-breaking vote 212-212 to defeat a FISA 702 amendment requiring a warrant to spy on Americans.

This is how the Constitution dies.

Brought to you by the House GOP.

TYRANNY: House PASSES Bill to Renew FISA Warrantless Spy Program by 273-147 Vote – 126 Republicans Vote YES to Snoop on Americans Without Meaningful Limits

JIM JORDAN: “It's not complicated. If you want to spy on American citizens, you need to get a warrant.”

The Dutch organization, Massaschade & Consument, sued Google for privacy violations, citing a study revealing data collection without user consent. Researchers intercepted and analyzed traffic from Android devices on a Dutch server. Google's app, Google Play Services, gathers extensive user data, including orders, favorite places, call details, and location via GPS and Wi-Fi.

If you’re one of the several hundred learners in the Linux for Beginners class run by this channel, your invitations for tomorrow’s Weekend Linux Workshop are being sent out to your e-mail now!

This week, we look at using your new Linux Operating System for practical web surfing on your computer: The safest, and best configuration you can possibly use in these dystopian times! Where do downloaded files go on your Linux computer? How do you "decompress" your downloaded files? What programs can you download and execute? And how does this idea of being able to download Windows software to a Linux computer, and run it in a secure container on your Linux desktop, really work?

Learning about the parallel technology world of Free and Open Source Software is a decision to take back control of your personal information, data and ultimately your Digital Freedom. We welcome you to the Linux for Beginners class and a new chapter of your digital life. You will like it! While everyone else is being abused by "big tech" with no end in sight, it's time for you to get used to winning in your technology world!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

Apparently, trains in San Francisco are still running on some pretty old technology. 🤣
