The reason totalitarian communist regimes hate private property is simple: property gives an individual independence from the state.
If you own your land, your home, and your tools, you can say "no" to a tyrant.
Abolishing private property is about one thing only: making every citizen entirely dependent on the government for survival.

THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

Well done Rupert Lowe for calling out the Covid shot democide. We have had excess deaths every year in the Uk since the Covid shot rollout and an over 2 million increase in the number of people on permanent disability.
The same has happened in the US and every country where these bio weapons were administered.
Accountability for their Crimes Against Humanity scares the political puppets and their masters , but now Rupert you have to watch your back even more. God Bless.

It’s time to end the USAID of Zcash.
It's time to turn off the ZCG funding stream.
ZCG has over $125M in funding, and will receive millions more before the spigot is turned off. The program was never designed to handle this amount of funding.

On this day — 27 October 1728 — Captain James Cook was born, a navigator whose skill, and curiosity reshaped the world’s understanding of the Pacific — and left an enduring mark on Australia’s history.
Cook’s prowess as an explorer was unmatched in his era. Across three great voyages, he charted vast stretches of ocean with extraordinary precision, mapped coastlines never before recorded and set new standards for seamanship, scientific observation and crew welfare. His charts were so accurate that many remained in use for centuries.
For Australia, Cook’s 1770 charting of the east coast became pivotal for colonisation. His detailed maps, coastal descriptions and reports of the land’s potential influenced Britain’s decision to establish a colony — a turning point that would transform the continent forever.
A birthday marking the life of one of history’s most skilled navigators & a central figure in Australian history.

Your son is 14. He wants to download a game his friends are playing.
The app asks for a face scan to verify his age. You are told it is to keep him safe. You hold the phone while he looks into the camera.
His face is now in a database. Tied to his name. Tied to every account he opens. For the rest of his life.
Years later, that profile decides what he can access. What he can say. What he can buy.
You did not protect him. You helped enroll him.
This is what online child safety laws are building. A digital ID for every person, starting with our children.
Share this with a parent who thinks age verification is harmless.
Follow me. Every day I show you what is coming and how to stop it.

This is fucking crazy.
I knew all the Smart TVs were spying—that’s why I have a commercial panel with minimal compute and no radio, plugged in to an AppleTV. But this is crazy!

A man poured most of his money into a struggling tech company, went through a divorce, and started sleeping in a parking garage. He went on to help build Zcash.
– In the 1990s, Zooko Wilcox was already working on digital money, long before Bitcoin existed.
– He worked at DigiCash, an early attempt to build electronic money. The company failed, but the idea stuck with him.
–He kept exploring decentralized systems and privacy technology.
– Then Bitcoin launched in 2009 and showed the world that digital money could work without a central authority.
– But Bitcoin had a problem: its transactions were visible on a public ledger.
– In 2013, a group of researchers began working on Zerocoin, a proposal to bring more privacy to Bitcoin.
– The research evolved into a new cryptocurrency called Zcash.
– Zooko was asked to help lead the project. He initially turned it down.
– By the summer of 2015, he'd invested most of his money in another company he founded, Least Authority, and was going through a divorce.
– He wanted to stay in Boulder so he could keep taking his children to school. At times, that meant sleeping in his car in a parking garage.
– He eventually committed to the Zcash project.
– On October 28, 2016, Zcash launched, using advanced cryptography to let users shield transaction details.
– And the privacy work hasn't stopped.
– Today, Zcash developers are tackling another challenge: future quantum computers.
– Zakura has proposed giving every ZEC swap through NEAR Intents its own viewing key, limiting how much transaction history a compromised key could expose.
– A man who spent decades working on digital money helped turn a privacy research project into a live cryptocurrency.
Imagine if he'd given up when things got difficult.

AI is the most powerful surveillance technology ever built.
And you don’t think there’s a market for Zcash?
It’s Zcash or communism.

So it turns out that @AnikaWells, the lady who wants to censor her political enemies at home and the entire Internet globally, lied about her misuse of public money for personal travel. And it's not even her first time. No wonder these lying crooks are desperate for censorship.
Calls have come for Anika Wells to repay the cost of her flight home and be stood down after records from Don Farrell’s office failed to substantiate a meeting she said took place.

France. A father defends his shop. His only source of income to feed his wife and children. They mock him. They beat him. They destroy everything. These are not criminals, they are terrorists. Europe is dying.

Thomas Sowell explains why fascism and Nazism are left-wing ideologies:
“Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely—and correctly—regarded as being on the political left.”
“Jonah Goldberg’s great book ‘Liberal Fascism’ cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists’ consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left’s embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.”
“Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left.”
“It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot—and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs.”
“What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people—like themselves—need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.”

I hope none of my followers believe this anymore.
I hope I’ve built a smarter follower base.
I hope my followers understand who profits from war and what they’re really being asked to fight for.
Clue:
It’s not democracy, human rights or freedom.
It’s 💰
And it won’t serve you.

When Elon Musk was a young guy living in Vancouver with almost no money, he walked into the employment office and asked for the best-paying job they had. It turned out to be $18 an hour to put on a hazmat suit, crawl through a narrow tunnel into a lumber mill boiler, and shovel out the hot, steaming sludge left inside.
He later called it "a Dickensian steampunk nightmare," and honestly, that sounds about right. Around 30 people started that week, and by the end of it only 3 were still showing up.
Elon was one of those 3.
When people look at him today, they see the billionaire, but I see someone who was never too proud for the hardest, dirtiest work, and I think that says more about him than any number ever could.
Yes, a great insight into the history of Zcash so far -
Balaji explains why Zcash is finally having its moment
“The technology did work 10 years ago but it took a while for the proofs to work on mobile, for example. The cryptography had to evolve”
“The usability of it had to evolve. Everything had to work on mobile. Apple had to make that easier for things to work. A lot of crypto regulations had to move forward”
“There were a lot of things that were both technical and social and geopolitical even and now I think it's hit its moment”
“Most crypto projects, if they fail, they fail because they go too capitalist. They market it too hard and it just does the Burj Khalifa formation”
“Zcash for a long time had the opposite problem of being too PhD which I see often in biotech”
“Zcash almost wasn't commercial enough in some ways. It was so pure but that's good because it actually works”
“People were in it for a long time for more than money and so now it is very good money”
