There hasn't been this much of a fuss since Twitter was hacked a short time ago! Main stream media shows what the MSM wants people to see. Here's proof:
Heading into the weekend with BTC and DeFi on the lips of most every trader in the world, what does the news have to offer? 2 Million siezed by US Authorities from 3 alleged terrorist organizations.
When I mean it fills the headlines, I'm not kidding. Like usual, I headed to the Brave browser and searched using the key term 'Cryptocurrency News'. Changing the search settings from All to News, here's what came up this morning.
Though terrorism didn't take the top 2 headlines, it won with 3 out of 5 above the fold. Scrolling down more, terrorism shows its dominance in the news feed.
Crypto Siezures misses the number six spot (the first one below the fold) but takes 3 out of 6 for a tie. Number 5 below the fold (or rank 10 full page) is an article about a surge in crypto scams.
That sways the negative propaganda over for the win. Six out of eleven headlines on the first page takes the win for sure.
Did you notice the very top headline? That may help explain today's MSM propoganda.
$2 Mil In Crypto Is Chicken Scratch - Miami International Airport Shows The True Picture
Here's the point I become frustrated with Search Engines and their ties to corporate money. Looking for news about cash seizures from terrorists in 2020, what do I find? More news about terrorists' crypto seizures.
Enter 'Cash Seized From Terrorists 2020' and here's what came up on Duck Duck Go...
Sure, the search engine likely knows my preference in information. Still, my search term makes no mention of crypto. The terms cash and/or terrorist directed the results.
Even without the term Crytpo, seizures still hold 3 out of 5 headlines above the fold. Below the fold, it fills the entire page.
All the way down to rank 24 on the search engine is this little gem.
From the Miami Herald (Published 08/03/2020), this article shows that the Feds seized $2 Billion in undeclared cash from international travel between the years of 2000 to 2016. And nearly 1 Bil from MIA alone.
I'm sure that 2 Million in Crypto could fund some horrible actions by bad people around the globe. But how much of that undeclared $2 Billion was set for terrorist funding. Quite a bit would be my guess.
A percentage of it was likely intended for other nefarious purposes such as drugs or payoffs. How much, however, was simply taken from honest travelers who failed to disclose their cash to US Authorities?
The point of expressing my online research into words today, is to show how misleading it usually is. After searching 2 different terms and scrolling down to nowhere land, I found the real truth.
Terrorists want death to the infidel while US Authorities worry about the fallout. Innocent and criminals alike get caught up in the net.
And what's $2 Mil in Crypto when $2 Billion in cash sits 24 places down in the news cycle? The headlines should read something more along the lines of the following:
'Terrorists Prefer Traceless Cash Over Any Kind Of Digital Currency - Recent Seizures Show Why'
If we lived in a world where true media integrity existed, this would have been a headline. Instead, we'll have to keep researching and reading between the lines.
Thanks for your attention and as always...
