Maine Finally Throws George Mitchell Overboard — It Took 300 Mentions in the Epstein Files
For decades George J. Mitchell could do nothing wrong in Maine. Peace envoy, Senate leader, the man every university in the state wanted its buildings to carry his name. Now the University of Maine System trustees have voted to strip it away — from the sustainability center, the fund, and the...
Susan Collins Calls the FBI Pay-to-Play Story “Completely False.” Maine Isn’t Buying It This Time
Susan Collins has an answer for everything, and it is always the same answer: completely false. This week ProPublica documented that the FBI spent years circling the senator, her top aides, and a pro-Collins super PAC, asking questions about Hawaii defense contractor Navatek and the donations it...
Maine Decrees a 13-Year-Old Girl May Not Hear the Bible. The State Is the Church Now
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court — the Law Court, the state's highest earthly tribunal — let stand last week an order forbidding a Christian mother from taking her daughter to church. Not in Teheran. Not in Beijing. Maine. Here are the facts, and read them slowly. Emily Bickford and Matthew...
Conviction Comes From the Builders: Chainboarder’s Case for Bitcoin on Blake
Yesterday a man who actually builds software for Bitcoin on Blake2b — the coin the exchanges now trade as XBT — posted a video under a title worth more than every analyst note ever written: “The more time I spend building, the more my conviction grows in Bitcoin on Blake.” His channel is called...
Adam Back Calls Bitcoin on Blake an “Altcoin” — That’s What a Brand in Trouble Sounds Like
A rumor went around X last week that the Bitcoin network would “fire its miners” in August 2026, and Blockstream CEO Adam Back had to come out and deny it, as BeInCrypto reported. Now read the denial closely, because it is a masterpiece of brand protection. No miners are losing their jobs, Back...
The 45-Day Lockup Is Sweeping the Dump-Miners Out of Bitcoin’s BLAKE2b Chain
Bitcoin on BLAKE2b — the chain the exchanges trade as XBT — did something this month that the old chain never had the stomach for. It locked the miners up. Since block 973,440, around September 22, newly mined coins cannot be spent for 45 days: a 6,480-block maturity on coinbase outputs, enforced...
The Two Most Jewish Institutions in Maine
I may have served as the most powerful Jewish leader in Maine for twenty years without knowing it. I thought of myself as among the most Christian as head of the Christian Civic League of Maine during those years. The other powerful Jewish institution is The Maine Wire. What makes these well known...
“Jews are Odious”
https://www.youtube.com/live/AAnhZWlz7fk https://www.youtube.com/live/ewb7qKl84eY There's an important juxtaposition between the two videos above. I should be taking time to archive these on my michaelheath.tv mirror for YouTube but I probably won't. Obviously it's only a matter of time before...
My Midterm Strategy
You can vote by mail. It's super easy. I just registered my ballot request on a website published by the State of Maine. My little village of Chelsea is supposed to mail it to me one month ahead of election day. This will provide me with everything I need to cast my informed vote in early...
“Vengeance Rewards Me Greatly”
https://youtu.be/ORXMZUQgBXI I appreciate this young man's shouting into the internet void. He was inspired to start broadcasting from his car (that he sleeps in for now) by a recent lost battle in the Bitcoin space. For the past year or so a large group of developers have worked to tighten the...
The Dangers of Technology
https://youtu.be/gS9tYbbNyMY It was shocking to see all the richest and most diabolical Tech oligarchs surrounding Donald Trump at his inauguration. His most powerful ally in that space is Peter Thiel. He may be the most dangerous man alive today. He is smart. More important. He is very .... VERY...
Mysticism, Cheer and Humanity
The Church remembers St. Francis receiving his stigmata today so it is fitting that our essay would feature a quote from GK Chesterton's 1923 biography of the popular Saint. It did not make him dismal or dehumanised; for it was the whole meaning of his message that such mysticism makes a man...
The government has failed us, but we…
The government has failed us, but we are the government. Every politician at every level, sworn to defend our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, must answer this call. If they refuse, they have betrayed us and forsaken their oaths, enabling the perpetual extraction of our work to continue...
This is not policy; it is legal…
This is not policy; it is legal expropriation, draped in the rhetoric of fiscal responsibility. This “inflation” does not steal the money from our wallets; it erodes our human dignity. It slowly dehumanizes, stripping individuals of the ability to lead meaningful lives while concealing its cruelty...
While the government and banking institutions funnel…
While the government and banking institutions funnel new currency to favored sectors or reward bad investments with bailouts, prudence is punished, and the value of the average person's paycheck and savings shrinks in real terms. This is not an oversight in the system; it is one of its defining...
The greatest trick of slavery is convincing…
The greatest trick of slavery is convincing its victims that they need it to survive. Though serfs could not be sold like chattel, their lives were still bound to the land, their labor conscripted to sustain the nobility. Across Europe and the Islamic world alike, feudal systems extracted value...
If we refuse to name it for…
If we refuse to name it for what it is, we risk letting that evil flourish once again: only with subtler methods and sanitized rhetoric. To recognize these invisible chains for what they are, we must remove the illusions, unravel the deceit, and confront the philosophical framework that sustains...
The modern slave hears no crack of…
The modern slave hears no crack of leather, only the invisible lash of artificial inflation, felt in every shrinking paycheck and the rising cost of survival. The abuse is just as real, and the bondage just as absolute. To recognize this modern bondage, we must examine its most treacherous weapon:...
Each dollar in circulation is not a…
Each dollar in circulation is not a neutral medium of exchange; it is a claim on work: yours, mine, and that of generations yet unborn. It does not preserve wealth; it plunders it, draining value from those who toil and funneling it to a financial elite. The working man does not simply exchange...
The Moral Bankruptcy of Our Monetary System…
The Moral Bankruptcy of Our Monetary System Our central banking system is beyond salvage or reform: it is morally and structurally bankrupt. It survives through deception: the false promise that endless debt fosters prosperity, that inflation is the cost of progress, and that monetary manipulation...
History is merciless to civilizations that indulge…
History is merciless to civilizations that indulge in monetary corruption. Debase the currency, dilute real wealth with illusions, and collapse becomes inevitable. Yet those who command the levers of our monetary system persist in the same folly, either arrogantly convinced “this time will be...
The time for ignorance is over; the…
The time for ignorance is over; the time for complacency has passed. With the same moral reflex by which we reject physical chains, we must now learn to reject these economic shackles. And as the next chapters will show, “breaking free” is not mere rhetoric; it can be done, if we are willing to...
The choice is clear: continue in comfortable…
The choice is clear: continue in comfortable servitude, or break free from the chains of economic slavery and reclaim what is rightfully yours: your freedom, your work, your dignity. The time for ignorance is over; the time for complacency has passed. With the same moral reflex by which we reject...
But Caesar does not own your life…
But Caesar does not own your life, your children's lives, or your future. The choice is clear: continue in comfortable servitude, or break free from the chains of economic slavery and reclaim what is rightfully yours: your freedom, your work, your dignity. The time for ignorance is over; the time...
It is a sobering day when a…
It is a sobering day when a man wakes up and realizes that the only future his children will have is the one he builds with his own hands. No pension, no entitlement, no conjured digits in a government ledger will restore what has been looted. No wishful thinking can replant the corn seed already...
