Children of the West, for example, are told of the ancient Hebrews and their exodus from Israel, of the Egyptians, the Persians, and the Babylonians, and of classical antiquity, of Ancient Greece and Rome, and of how Italians and Germans picked up where they left off to establish modern Western civilization, as though the West were the one legitimate recipient of all past civilizational knowledge.</strong></p><p>It does sound a bit suspicious, doesn&#8217;t it? Modern history tells a story of continuous progress from Adam to Joe Biden, and of Western civilization as the sole heir of all future history. That is, until Western explorers came into contact with the equally ancient civilizations of Latin America, of India, and of China.</p><p>But what if I questioned this progressive narrative? What if I told you a completely different story? What if the Jews and their history, as recorded in the Old Testament Bible, were invented during the 16<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup> century when people who identified themselves as Jews migrated to North-Western Europe. Or that the Latin New Testament Bible was a heathen or native European response to the success of the Jewish literary innovation that was the Pentateuch. With the invention of cheaply made paper&#8212;in Europe, not in China&#8212;and the printing press, all of a sudden, every self-respecting power clique needed to have its own Holy Book. According to this thesis, Judaism, Christianity, and even Islam were recent inventions. Christianity was rather a response to the fairly recent Jewish presence in Europe, and formerly heathen temples, Europe&#8217;s Gothic Valhallas (halls for the slain), were transformed into Christian cathedrals during the 16<sup>th</sup> through 19<sup>th</sup> centuries.</p><p>According to this theory, the European Renaissance didn&#8217;t rediscover long-lost works of ancient writers such as Plato, Tacitus or Julius Caesar, but rather invented them and popularized them with the help of the printing press. Classical antiquity, then, was rather a product of the Renaissance period, when German and Italian scholars feverishly began <em>inventing Europe&#8217;s history</em>. Real history, as recorded on paper, doesn&#8217;t start until around the 18<sup>th</sup> century AD. Any claim made about events before the 12<sup>th</sup> century have been completely made up. That is because paper didn&#8217;t exist yet, and the extremely expensive parchment and papyrus completely rot away in several centuries&#8217; time. Moreover, alleged ancient writers such as Plinius simply wouldn&#8217;t have been able to afford to buy the papyrus needed to become a well-versed writers.</p><p>As bizarre as it sounds, this is precisely the claim of a number of impressing scholars, including, last but not least, Sir Isaac Newton and Friedrich Nietzsche. Others such as Nikolai Morozov, Wilhelm Kammeier, Anatoly Fomenko, Uwe Topper, and Heribert Illig all point to the complete falsification of ancient history that began in Europe during the second half of the second millennium.</p><p>If, in the past, a priestly class wrote history the same way we nowadays write the science fiction of the future, today, we face the greatest threat to our survival. For if history can be written, it can be rewritten, and if history can be rewritten, it can be rewritten again. History <em>is</em> written by the victors. If Europe is won by an alliance of Russians, Turks, and Chinamen, they will tell us ancient Egyptians were Chinese, Europeans were Turkic, and the Russian Horde built Stonehenge. If we let an American-led NATO subdue the East, we will be fed stories of a utopian future, of transhumanism, of human beings as programmable machines all working in harmony to establish the dreamed God-Mind.</p><p>Goerge Orwell said it right, Who control the past controls the future, and who controls the present controls the past. It is, therefore, in our best interest to do away with notions of a &#8220;real history&#8221; and rather focus our attention toward a &#8220;defensible history&#8221; that withstands the test of time. We must, in other words, learn from Madison Grant&#8217;s <em>The Passing of the Great Race</em>, of Alfred Rosenberg&#8217;s <em>Myth of the Twentieth Century</em>, and perhaps even of Arthur Kemp&#8217;s <em>March of the Titans</em>. It&#8217;s time for our peoples to start writing history, again, and take back the future.</p><h3>Books and Sources</h3><ul><li><p>Joseph Scaliger 1540-1609<br><em>Thesaurus Temporum</em></p></li><li><p>Isaac Newton 1642-1726<br><em>The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended</em></p></li><li><p>Robert Baldauf (Friedrich Nietzsche) 1844-1900<br><em>History and Criticism</em></p></li><li><p>Nikolai Morozov 1854-1946<br><em>The Revelation in Storm and Thunder</em></p></li><li><p>Wilhelm Kammeier 1889-1959<br><em>The Falsification of German History / of Early Christianity, etc.</em></p></li><li><p>Anatoly Fomenko 1945-present (The Russian Horde)<br><em>History: Science or Fiction?

Apart from the three main urban centers-Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malm&#246;-Sweden is largely a pine-tree forest littered with lakes. In fact, Sweden has the most number of lakes of any country in Europe.</p><p>Sweden isn&#8217;t the only place like this. Indeed, much of Norway, most of Finland, and North-West Russia are also like that. These territories are woodlands and sparsely populated if at all.</p><p>Moreover, this massive woodland of North-Western Eurasia is about the size of the rest of Europe. That means, if temperatures were to rise just a little, just a few degrees Celsius on average, these undeveloped forest lands could provide the perfect fertile soil for doing agriculture or pastoralism someday. In a warmer climate, these lands could feed tens of millions if not a hundred million Europeans seeking refuge from the multicultural dystopia presently unfolding in our cities further south.</p><p>Why do I care? Why does this matter to me? Well, in another video, I had discussed what might happen if climate change were to lead to a drop in temperatures. If Europe froze over, in that case, at least a hundred million Europeans would have to leave the continent. The cost of fuel and clothing would rise exponentially, basic households would default on their heating costs, and our migrant friends from the tropics and the deserts might find Europe too cold to inhabit, and avoid coming here.</p><p>But I can&#8217;t predict the future. It&#8217;s best to prepare for several outcomes. What should we do, for example, if climate alarmists turn out to be right, and the temperatures in Europe do start to rise rapidly? Personally, I haven&#8217;t bought into the rising temperature scare peddled by the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Though it seems the IPCC and the World Economic Forum prefer this scenario, they may be working in secret to make it happen rather than having to wait for it.</p><p>If rising temperatures were to hit Europe, by that time, many parts of Northern Africa and the Arab peninsula will already have become too hot to inhabit. The present Islamic crescent surrounding the European continent may turn into scorched earth, and hundreds of millions of desert peoples will pursue passage to Europe. They have nowhere else to go.</p><p>This would be the nightmare scenario. A nation like France, for example, could see a majority African population by the year 2040. At the same time, France&#8217;s native population will still be failing to raise families. Their numbers will dwindle and such a minority fate may hit all West Europeans.</p><p>Where does that leave us? Our cities could overflow with migrants, and arguably, many already have. Southern Europe, or anything south of the rivers Rhine and Danube, could become indistinguishable from Central Africa, whereas Northern Europe will be flooded by Turkic and Arab peoples. All of Europe then becomes Islamic, barring a few rural Christian enclaves here and there, staking out the apocalypse.</p><p>Should we do nothing and wait for better times ahead, as our peoples wither away in urban ghettos and rural shantytowns, disowned, unhappy, and stripped of political power?</p><p>Something like this has happened before, and we should learn from the ordeal. When the Soviet Communists decided to disown the Kulaks, a class of farmers who managed to employ a few helping hands, many of these Kulak families were then banished and sent to live in the Siberian woodlands, often without any possessions whatsoever. They were sent to die there, though that&#8217;s not what happened. Not only did many banished groups survive on what was supposed to be nature&#8217;s death row, some new settlements even thrived.</p><p>That means, there is a way out for us if a demographic catastrophe were to hit us. In case of a massive replacement of Europeans with immigrants coming from Arab and African nations, rising temperatures will change the equation for our benefit, for if temperatures do rise, might we relocate our peoples to the yet unpopulated woodlands of North-Western Eurasia?</p><p>I understand it sounds borderline ludicrous for white Europeans to ask Russia, Sweden, and Finland for asylum in their forests. And it won&#8217;t have to happen anytime soon. In the worst-case scenario, however, this may be the best option Europeans have. Namely, to pursue our strategic relocation. We should only do this a strategy of last resort, only if every other attempt at defending our homeland fails.</p><p>After all, we need to know what to do if catastrophe hits. We need to know our options. And the woodlands of the North-West of Eurasia offer us an alternative future.</p><p>Imagine, for example, that our communist traitors, who are already in charge of our economies, and of our banking systems, decide to rob the white middle class&#8217;s pension funds? And then, will they also rob our savings accounts for the sake of &#8220;equality&#8221;? Own nothing and be happy?</p><p>To our enemies, perhaps we are the cash cows for the communist utopia. They will use the West&#8217;s pension monies to finalize our great replacement, as the alleged repayment for the Colonial Age, resulting in the Islamization of Europe, the legalization of child marriages, the segregation of men and women in public spaces, all the while still pushing for the LGBT circus.</p><p>Western elites will go along with this because it means they get to buy a new market of two to three billion young people looking to get their latest iPhones. And as I said, it seems that the World Economic Forum is also betting on this scenario. Meaning: communists may take our savings, disown us, and drive us into camps to die.</p><p>European people who still love freedom will then have to abandon ship. The rising temperature would make the woodlands of North-Western Eurasia habitable. It will be possible for us to clear sections of the forests to grow crops, or to create pastures for cattle. And the fertile lands should be able to sustain a population on the level of the mid-19th century, which means this vast woodland could comfortably feed and house up to 50 million Northern Europeans using wood as fuels, and horses as the means of transportation.</p><p>In the long run, we may even witness a revival of our civilization. In the short term, arriving in territory previously unpopulated, on lands never developed, and without any pre-existing infrastructure, we will be thrown back to the times of the early settlers of Europe. But we will bring with us the knowledge, the tools, and the skills of the modern age to give ourselves a head-start.</p><p>I want to stress that I personally hope this scenario does NOT play out. I hope that Europe&#8217;s temperatures will rather drop and so naturally curb any further immigration from the Islamic and African regions into Europe.</p><p>Still, it is useful to imagine what we <em>might do</em> if the climate changes for the worse. At least we might strategically relocate fairly large numbers of our peoples further north, especially young people and families willing to risk the adventure.</p><p>Whatever happens, I&#8217;m sure not only many of us will survive, some of us will thrive, and found new nations.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free Speech Is Hate Speech [JT #103]]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bring Back Duels and the Honor Code]]></description><link>https://www.jmk.info/p/free-speech-is-hate-speech-jt-103</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.jmk.info/p/free-speech-is-hate-speech-jt-103</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johannes M.

This is a strategy for the very long term. But if we choose to go down this road, we shall make ourselves immune to exploitation.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Speech</h2><p>At university, I took a course called Introduction to Ecology. I learned that certain species of beetles can live among ants undetected in their colonies. Though very different in form, these parasitical beetles evolved to have a similar scent as their host, and so, can move unseen.</p><p>For example, the parasitic highwayman beetle will live among ants and literally steal food from his hosts&#8217; mouths. &#8220;Glands around their heads and mouths secrete a mysterious appeasement compound that distracts the hapless worker ant,&#8221; researchers explain.</p><p>And, &#8220;The ants march on, and on, and on, for the good of the collective, while the highwayman is out only for itself.&#8221; However, if the fraud is detected, worker ants will try to flip over the invasive beetle, and then tear off its antennae and legs as punishment.</p><p>Human beings, too, have learned to exploit one another, but several modes of exploitation wholly evade the justice system. The financial exploitation of an entire people through currency inflation, for example, devalues one&#8217;s savings.</p><p>Commercial advertising that convinces people to purchase goods and services at a price far exceeding their actual value is another example. And who can resist paying 20$ or more at a fancy restaurant for what is basically a $1 pasta dish?</p><p>Above all, cities are the epicenter of human exploitation. Here, men and women have perfected the exploitation of people&#8217;s beliefs, their desires, and their gullibility. The city promises us great tastes, sensations, views, and the fulfillment of our dreams&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;but it all comes at an overpaid price point.</p><p>Big cities can easily exploit people to the point where they can no longer afford to have families and are, therefore, forced to embrace the lie of the individualist lifestyle, also heavily promoted by urban propaganda. Families, after all, demand frugal lifestyles, and big corporations can&#8217;t profit off of money that isn&#8217;t spent.</p><p>Television, too, and media in general, lure us in with images of beautiful people whose lives are far more exciting than our own. And then, TV directors slip in political messaging or even emotional abuse to make us feel inferior unless we buy the next feel-better product that we never knew we needed.</p><p>But at least we are free, we think. Not unless out of the class of urban exploiters, a distinct new race of people has evolved, a people who, like the highwayman beetle, isn&#8217;t in it for humanity&#8217;s advancement, but solely for itself? What would the implications of such a parasitical class of humans be for the rest of us?</p><p>Imagine, for the sake of argument, that there is a race of men who look and speak just like us, but whose interests lie with the deliberate exploitation of humanity.</p><p>Say, hypothetically, that this race of men is mostly interested in ruling the world, and attempts to do so by, for example, harvesting people&#8217;s attention, their consciousness, by cleverly exploiting our desires, and our unfulfilled lives?</p><p>Imagine this class of people didn&#8217;t care about race or religion, nor about culture or tradition, not about the preservation of any conservative ideal, but saw nature itself solely as a business area full of economic opportunity?</p><p>In my worst nightmares, such an urban parasite, so driven by global conquest, would learn to attach itself to different peoples, whichever offered the most benefits. If, for example, the Europeans of the colonial age appeared to have a chance at ruling the world, the parasite would inject itself into their societies, undetected, and &#8216;ride the tiger&#8217;, so to speak.</p><p>If at another time, the European peoples appeared to have exhausted themselves, but other people, say, the Central Africans and their descendants around the globe, seemed to be having a better shot at winning the world through sheer number and fecundity, the parasite would happily mix with their new host.</p><p>In fact, the parasite, betting on all horses at the race, could even pursue its own strategy of replacing its present host&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Europeans&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;with a new host&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;Africans&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;by promoting strategic replacement immigration, and by using its media influence to promote one people to positions of power and demote another to poverty.</p><p>Here, then, lies a window of opportunity for the old race that has been exploited for so long. If the urban parasite now appears to prefer other people over ours, perhaps we may finally disconnect from the fruitless rat race that has led to nothing but disappointment in life.</p><p>Our dreams, needless to say, were never fulfilled. Our wishes were never granted. Only our labor was exploited, and our gullibility. Seeing that the city is where the parasite derives its power, as the beetle in an ant colony, may we not freely choose to dissociate ourselves from the parasitical relationship?</p><p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be possible to create for ourselves a condition upon which no parasite, present or future, could ever exploit our dreams again, by making ourselves ungovernable in some way? Does the answer lie in leaving the big cities, leaving modernity behind, and returning to the lands where we may sustain ourselves without usury and taxation?</p><p>To truly free ourselves, I believe we have three major tasks ahead of us:</p><ol><li><p>we must begin to preach the new religion of freedom;</p></li><li><p>we must gradually disconnect people from ever-abusive mainstream media until we are ready to think for ourselves again;</p></li><li><p>we must prepare for our exodus from urban &#8216;civilization&#8217; which has proven to be nothing but a fly trap for our desires;</p></li></ol><p>This is a strategy for the very long term. But if we choose to go down this road, we shall make ourselves immune to exploitation.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Odin, the Germans, and the Yamnaya [JT #100]]]></title><description><![CDATA[My Personal Journey]]></description><link>https://www.jmk.info/p/odin-the-germans-and-the-yamnaya</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.jmk.info/p/odin-the-germans-and-the-yamnaya</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johannes M.

In fact, cinemas are a "Plato&#8217;s cave". In cinemas, people have their backs toward the film projector behind them, and they stare at a blank wall that produces for them a completely fictionalized world. Our past, present, and future are being falsified. Though we may escape the cave, we'll have to leave the prisoners behind.</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2>Speech</h2><p>In his book <em>The Republic</em>, written almost 2,400 years ago, Greek philosopher Plato proposed his famous <em>allegory of the cave</em>, namely to explore &#8220;the effect of education and the lack thereof on human nature&#8221;. The allegory comes in the form of a dialogue between Plato&#8217;s brother and another Greek thinker, Socrates.</p><p>Socrates describes a group of people chained to the wall of a cave ever since they were born, facing a blank wall. Projected onto the wall in front of them, the prisoners watch shadows from objects passing in front of a fire burning behind them. These shadows are given names. The fictions are the prisoners&#8217; only reality, but they do not represent the real world.</p><p>Plato meant that the reality we can perceive with our own eyes, with our sense, may still be such a fiction, and that we should resort to the natural sciences, to mathematics, or deductive logic instead to try to pry behind this sensory world in order to discover the real reality.</p><p>But with the modern invention of cinemas and movies, the directors of film added yet another layer of deception to our reality. In fact, cinemas are a &#8220;Plato&#8217;s cave&#8221;. In cinemas, people have their backs toward the film projector behind them, and they stare at a blank wall to produces for them a completely fictionalized world.</p><p>In the movie <em>Titanic</em>, for example, by director James Cameron, movie goers witnessed a historical drama of class struggle, a story about privileged upper classes who saved their own skin while letting the lower classes drown. That&#8217;s not what happened. In reality, the one demographic that saw most of its members drown were the rich, privileged upper class man, for they showed the greatest willingness to risk their own lives to try and save everyone else, including men, women, and children of the lower classes.</p><p>The invention of the television, too, turned our own living rooms into a &#8220;Plato&#8217;s cave&#8221;. Convinced that the news brings us objective facts, vetted by careful investigative journalists, common people buy into a completely falsified version of their reality. And this warping of the present, past, and future of our societies is further compounded by the many shows and movies that pass the review each day and night.</p><p>People who watch Netflix streams may believe that 1-in-5 Americans is vegan or transgender, 1-in-4 is Muslim, and in 1-in-3 is a military veteran. In reality, not even 1-in-100,000 people have gender surgery per year, 19 out of 20 people still eat meat, barely 1% of the U.S. population follows Islam, and only 6% of men are veterans.</p><p>One may forgive visions of the future such as in Star Trek or Star Wars as the works of creative minds, but the fictionalized past crafted by Hollywood&#8217;s screenwriters&#8217; guilds have severe implications for our present survival. Having been raised on cinema, TV, and now online streams for several generations, most members of our people can no longer tell fact from fiction.</p><p>We are told to accept that all anatomically modern human beings share a single common ancestor, a woman living in Eastern-Africa. We are told that white Europeans are descendants of men coming out of Africa in several waves between 60,000 to 30,000 years ago, a tropical race entirely displacing the weathered and hardy Neanderthals, and driving this cold-adapted species to extinction whose ancestors had been living in Europe for over a million years.</p><p>There is another, less well known story to be told. This story says that European Neanderthals at some point mixed with Eurasian hominids, that many modern-day Europeans are still up to 40% Neanderthal, rather than merely 2%, and that what genetics we share with Central Africans is what they inherited from us when some of our kind, the Cro Magnon, ventured into Africa and mixed there with Homo Ergaster, an archaic ape-man prone to rape.</p><p>TV and cinema repeatedly remind us of the European Dark Ages. When Northern Europeans adopted Christianity around the 6th and 7th centuries AD, our culture supposedly collapsed and came to a halt for three centuries, during which only the light of Charlemagne, Charles the Great, shone to return Europe to progress.</p><p>But when scientists, real scientists, began scrutinizing the literary, the archeological, and the architectural record, they found bizarre anomalies ranging from about the year 614 AD to 911 AD. Namely, they found that the Germanic literary style of the 10th century simply continued where it left off in the early 7th century. They found that the building styles of churches and cathedrals told a story of continues, uninterrupted progress as though the 300 years of history had simply never happened.</p><p>Sometimes reality is as bizarre as it gets, and the facts force us to ask the question: Did the Dark Ages really happen? Or did someone or some organization insert about 300 empty years into our timeline in order to invent a history that never happened? To those dismissing this story as a hoax, the scientists counter: Find us the European bodies buried during the late 7th, 8th, or 9th centuries. There are none such bodies. They don&#8217;t exist.</p><p>Now, we may begin to doubt the true history of events such as the attacks on Pearl Harbor, the King James Hotel bombings, September 11, and many other such happenings that justified subsequent wars for empire. The explosions and the victims were obviously real but the stories journalists wrote about the perpetrators and their motives were made up.</p><p>Was the Apollo Space Program perhaps nothing more than a Stanley Kubrik film, directed at the site now known as Area 51? Did the deception serve to tax the U.S. public in order to fund a ballistic missile program aimed at fighting Russia during the Cold War?</p><p>As we watch what we think is history in the making in the Plato&#8217;s cave of our personal living rooms, it hardly occurs to anyone that what we are watching is cleverly directed fiction that follows a screenplay written by the owners of big media companies.</p><p>Another great theme in our cinematic culture is that of women&#8217;s liberation from men&#8217;s oppression. We are told that for centuries if not for thousands of years men barely able to sustain themselves as peasants somehow had the powers to restrict women&#8217;s lives. Only with the help of the feminist movement did women finally win universal suffrage and where they able to start voting evil men out of power.</p><p>The true account, once again, is so different from what we are told to believe. Among the ancient Germanic and Nordic peoples, for example, women carried the keys to their homes. When female seeresses spoke at religious gatherings, the men listened. And though, according to a poem by the name of Thrym&#8217;s Lay recorded in the Edda, women didn&#8217;t bother with small troubles, the Aesir goddesses of Asgard were invited to voice their opinion on important matters.</p><p>You see, throughout European history, most men refused to wage wars. Feudal lords relied on a standing army of voluntary, professional warriors. These armies rarely exceeded more than a few thousand men, much unlike the Chinese machinery that could musters millions of peasants to fight by decree.</p><p>Europeans were free, in this sense, to refuse to fight. In fact, American democracy may very well stem from this problem. By 1856, property ownership requirements were eliminated, giving suffrage to most white men. Of course, most men where white in those days. The point is, they were given voting rights in exchange for military conscription, namely to fight in American Civil War which helped the Wallstreet financiers crush an aristocratic South.</p><p>The women didn&#8217;t have to conscribe, nor did they want to, and were, therefore, left out of the vote. But later, starting around the time of the First World War, men started using their vote in order to vote for women&#8217;s suffrage. It was thanks to the men that women got the vote without having to die in wars to earn the right themselves.</p><p>Without a proper understanding of our real history, our people&#8217;s leaders cannot show the way. If we are ready to leave Plato&#8217;s cave, it means we must leave the prisoner behind. Irony has it that young women, today, may be drafted into the war against Russia, for now they are equal, and cannons don&#8217;t care about gender.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Northern Civilization and the Progress Trap [JT #97]]]></title><description><![CDATA[What's Our End Game?]]></description><link>https://www.jmk.info/p/northern-civilization-and-the-progress</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.jmk.info/p/northern-civilization-and-the-progress</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Johannes M.

Finney wanted people to have a tool to protect themselves against central banking control schemes. Was Finney Nakamoto?</p><div><hr></div><h2>Speech</h2><p>In 1954, anarchist computer scientist Hal Finney was born. Before he died, Finney spent a lifetime working on digital anonymity, such as the PGP encryption for email, also known as Pretty Good Privacy.</p><p>But his most notable invention was the creation of digital scarcity. By 2004, Finney had invented a reusable proof-of-work system, a system that solved the problem of double-spending transactions in a digital setting by making it impossible to spend the same token twice.</p><p>In 2008, an anonymous hacker by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto posted the infamous Bitcoin white paper, a system for digital transactions using the very proof-of-work system that Finney had invented earlier.</p><p>When Bitcoin launched on January 3rd, 2009, Hal Finney claims he downloaded the software on the same day. Finney was also the first person to tweet on Twitter using the word &#8216;Bitcoin&#8217; on January 11th, 2009. And Finney was also the first person ever to receive a Bitcoin transaction from the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto.</p><p>Are these mere coincidences? We know that Finney was the inventor of Bitcoin&#8217;s proof-of-work system. But was he, perhaps, also Bitcoin&#8217;s creator?</p><p>What are the odds that a Japanese math professor named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto (who had nothing to do with Bitcoin) happened to reside 1.6 miles from Hal Finney&#8217;s home in Temple City?</p><p>Finney died in August 2014 of ALS, a progressive nervous system disease also known as Lou Gehrig&#8217;s disease. Since his official diagnosis in mid-2009, Finney had been struggling with ALS for over 5 years, meaning his condition may have manifested itself around the time of publication of Bitcoin&#8217;s white paper in October 2008.</p><p>Finney&#8217;s full name was Harold <em>Thomas</em> Finney. But the name Satoshi Nakamoto also happens to be an anagram for &#8220;So Thomas ain&#8217;t A-OK&#8221;. Was the nickname perhaps chosen as a reference to this Thomas&#8217;s deteriorating condition?</p><p>In 2010, a man named Gavin Andresen took over as Bitcoin&#8217;s first lead developer since Satoshi&#8217;s departure. The timing might not surprise anyone. Hal Finney, at this point, was suffering from ALS. He had rapidly become physically too incapacitated to maintain the Bitcoin codebase any longer.</p><p>Publicly, Finney always denied being &#8220;Satoshi Nakamoto&#8221;. Still, the biggest evidence for Finney being Nakamoto may be that Bitcoin&#8217;s ideology aligned with Finney&#8217;s personal politics. He was known to be a political anarchist and a cypher punk who wanted to use computer tools to liberate rather than control the people.</p><p>The creator of Bitcoin even hinted at his political convictions in a message recorded inside the Genesis Block, the first Bitcoin block ever mined containing the first 50 coins ever minted. The so-called &#8216;coinbase&#8217; parameter of that block reads:</p><blockquote><p>The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks</p></blockquote><p>The line refers to <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chancellor-alistair-darling-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks-n9l382mn62h">a news article</a> from Britain&#8217;s <em>The Times</em>, titled, <em>&#8220;Chancellor Alistair Darling on brink of second bailout for banks-Billions may be needed as lending squeeze tightens&#8221;</em>, and then continues:</p><blockquote><p>The Chancellor will decide within weeks whether to pump billions more into the economy as evidence mounts that the &#163;37 billion part-nationalisation last year has failed to keep credit flowing. Options include cash injections, offering banks cheaper state guarantees to raise money privately or buying up &#8220;toxic assets&#8221;, The Times has learnt.</p></blockquote><p>Bitcoin, which has a hardcoded limit of 21 million coins, divisible up to eight digits, doesn&#8217;t allow inflation, at least not without a hard fork of the protocol. Bitcoin can thus be seen as the solution to bank bailouts, an antidote to the limitless money-printing that declining nations so greedily apply to bail out themselves and their financial elites, at the expense of the common people whose savings are devalued by inflation.</p><p>Before Bitcoin, there was ecash, a digital cash system invented by David Chaum. It didn&#8217;t work because the system couldn&#8217;t yet prevent people from double-spending transactions, the problem to which Finney later presented the solution.</p><p>Referring to ecash, Finney once said:</p><blockquote><p>It seemed so obvious to me: &#8220;Here we are faced with the problems of loss of privacy, creeping computerization, massive databases, more centralization-and [David] Chaum [the inventor of ecash] offers a completely different direction to go in, one which puts power into the hands of individuals rather than governments and corporations. <strong>The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them.</strong>&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>To Finney, inventing a digital cash system was all about handing the common people a financial tool that could protect them against central banking control schemes.</p><p>Whether or not Finney was Satoshi, what may be of interest to hodlers of Bitcoin is the following: Hal Finney personally calculated that Bitcoin might one day reach a price point of 10 million dollars per coin. And at that rate, the stash of 1 million coins Satoshi likely mined himself shall then be worth around 10 trillion dollars, or over eight times the present net worth of the United States.</p><p>Satoshi Nakamoto wanted people to bail themselves out and buy back the world.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
