Jack Dorsey explains why NOSTR could be the most censorship-resistant social media platform. "The future of free speech is decentralization."

🚨 With the recent arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France, it's clear that free speech is under attack like never before. Durov's arrest is a stark reminder of the lengths to which centralized authorities will go to silence voices and control narratives. They fear inconvenient truths hence obsession for control.

Imagine a world where your voice can’t be silenced by a single entity, where your privacy is paramount, and where decentralization is the bedrock of communication. This isn’t a fantasy, it’s happening now with NOSTR.

As Jack Dorsey aptly puts it, NOSTR represents the next evolution in social media—a platform that’s resilient against censorship and built on the principles of decentralization. Just as Monero has revolutionized financial privacy by decentralizing and securing transactions, NOSTR could do the same for free speech.

🔐 In a world where centralized powers increasingly infringe on our privacy and freedom, systems like NOSTR and Monero are not just alternatives—they’re necessities. Both embody the ethos of decentralization, ensuring that your rights to privacy and free expression are preserved.

The recent censorship crackdowns, including Durov’s arrest, show the urgent need for decentralized solutions. With NOSTR’s censorship-resistant social platform and Monero’s untraceable transactions, we have the tools to safeguard our freedom. This isn’t just about the future, it’s about protecting the present.

The future of communication and finance is here, and it’s decentralized. The arrest of Pavel Durov is a chilling reminder of the stakes, but with sysrems like NOSTR and Monero, we’re ready to fight back. Join the movement that’s reshaping the world—one secure transaction and one censorship-resistant message at a time.

🇫🇷🤡Chris Pavlovski has accused the French President of lying about his commitment to freedom of speech in response to the arrest of Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram.

“When you say you are committed to freedom of expression, you are lying.

We have a letter from France that proves this, without a doubt.

We had to shutdown Rumble in France because you have NO commitment to freedom of expression.”

Macron is a hypocritical puppet for his globalist masters and he's set a dangerous precedent.

🇺🇸💬The Biden-Harris administration’s blatant disregard for the First Amendment is now undeniable, though not surprising.

Mark Zuckerberg just admitted that the White House pressured Facebook to censor Americans and suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. This isn’t just a violation of free speech—it’s an outright suppression of information, so much for democratic values.

When Big Tech colludes with the government to silence dissent, every American’s freedom is on the line. How long will Americans stand by while the most basic of rights are trampled on?

👀 The Tale of Two Brothers: The Hidden Genius Behind Telegram Once upon a time, there lived two brothers who changed the digital world forever. One, Pavel Durov, is well known as the charismatic founder of Telegram, boasting 2.5M followers on X and the spotlight…
👀 A Tale of two brothers part deux (Will Pavel hand over the keys?)

The question now: Will Pavel resist the pressure, or will he hand over Nikolai's secrets (keys)? I can't shake this crazy feeling that this could be a Russian Trojan play

Imagine if Pavel was always a closet Putin loyalist—playing the part, securing Western markets for Telegram, and passing all the "credentials checks"—all while never truly holding the keys to anything of real value. Those keys? Safely with others, including Nikolai. Pavel might have been the handsome bait all along, giving the appearance of someone who could be flipped.

Meanwhile, Europe will burn (tragically) as the gasoline of censorship is thrown onto already smoldering embers, and even in the US—where this order likely originated—the Harris-Biden administration could pay a massive price for this reckless assault on basic freedoms and ‘rights’. But here’s the kicker: They’ll get nothing tangible in return for their reckless gamble.

Beware of Yanks bearing cookies, but be extra wary of Russian geopol, chess grandmasters. Time will tell.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 26 August 2024⚡️

🔹Russian Troops launched a series of attacks on the energy infrastructure of the so-called #Ukraine. Power outages were recorded in enemy-occupied territory. In turn, Ukrainian formations launched several UAVs across Russian regions.

🔹In the #Kursk region, heavy fighting continues. By the end of the day, the advance of the AFU is recorded in the area of #Snagost and in the Sudzha district. Russian troops are attacking invading forces and targets in the border part of the #Sumy region.

🔹On the North #Avdeyevka front, Russian troops continue to advance in several sectors at once. Over the day, information was received about significant advances within the borders of #Novogrodovka and nearby settlements.

🔹In the #Ugledar direction, multiple reports appeared about the beginning of an offensive by the RFAF on #Ugledar. But by the end of the day only a few airstrikes on #Vodyanoye were confirmed. At the same time, information about the successes of the RFAF is also available, but remains very contradictory.

John McAfee Was Right About Bitcoin’s Fatal Flaw

Imagine this: John McAfee pays a plumber $20 in Bitcoin. But here’s the kicker—thanks to Bitcoin’s public ledger, that plumber can now look up all of McAfee’s transactions. Every single one. Forever.

Sound crazy? That’s Bitcoin—a transparent ledger where your financial history is an open book for anyone to see. It’s utter madness.

Here’s the Truth: Bitcoin was supposed to be the future of decentralized, private finance—Satoshi’s vision. But somewhere along the way, it was hijacked for a centralized agenda. What good is a supposed decentralized currency if every transaction is there for the world to see? The public ledger is an Orwellian flaw, not a feature. While Bitcoin may have its place, it’s clear it’s not suited for day-to-day private transactions.

Monero is what Bitcoin was supposed to be: decentralized, secure, and truly private. In a world where financial privacy is under constant threat, Monero stands as the bulwark against censorship. Your transactions should be your business—no one else’s.

Isn’t it time you took your privacy back?

The portly Ukrainian safari enjoyer was outraged by the presence of Roshen products (Ukrainian confectionery) in Kursk.

The better question is why the marauders emptied the shelves of everything but left their Roshens behind?
