A REVIEW: OF A SCAM THAT ASKS YOU TO COMMIT FRAUD

So much fraud online.  I clicked on this video to watch because I wanted to learn how to make money with PayPal.  Note the title: "Earn $20 for every 5 minutes into your PayPal (Earn PayPal Money for Beginners 2024)," and 3 minutes into the video no mention of PayPal whatsoever.  So either they have a marketing problem or they're lying.

Capterra is a platform that is willing to pay you to write different reviews for software and programs.  You can browse over 800 different categories.  And within each category, you have hundreds of different software that you can review.   They're offering $20 for every 5 minutes of work.  Ha, ha.  According to the speaker, the reason Capterra pays out $20 for 5 minutes is because the more 5-star reviews help the company with sales; the more sales, the more income.  

Step 3: Click on "Write a Review," where you can find thousands of different companies and thousands of different products.  Confusing.  It sounds like they want you to write a review without ever having purchased the product or purchased any service or product from a company.  So, you'd be lying . . . .  Hmm.  Who wants to be part of that scheme?  

4:23  QuickBooks software.  Copy the software title.  Copy the software name.  Go back to Google and look for that software review, so our review, of course.  Search for QuickBooks reviews, and you can get all the reviews here online from which you can get an idea.  So I can look up this link right here and see how other people are doing it, what they said about it, and how they really made the reviews without having to buy it themselves.  Of course, you can change the text a little bit to make it your own, but don't copy and paste it because you won't earn any money because that's clearly not going to happen.  But you can get an idea from their reviews and what they actually said about the software, which will save you so much time and money so you won't have to spend hours and hours going through the software.  

[5 minutes in and still no mention of PayPal.]

Learning about it determines the pros and cons.  You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on software simply to write a basic review.  [Note how she degrades the review to "basic review."]  At the 6:15 mark, she literally tells you to lie about how often you use a software.  She says to click on "Daily" usage; that way your review has a better chance of getting selected.  This cannot inspire anyone to any positive action.  She tells you to click on "I am a user."  Yeah, I'll bet she is, and you will be too if you continue with this scheme of hers.  And would you really want your name associated with a program or software that asks you to commit fraud?  She is asking viewers to simply copy and paste other people's work.  This must be a gimmick from a 3rd world country, dubbed in English to appeal to poor people in Western nations.  To that end, it has worked.  But please don't do this.  Please.  

It's always better to leave a 5-star review that's based on other people's reviews.  The more categories of a product that you complete, the higher the chances are that you make money.  [So it's not guaranteed?  She talks like it's guaranteed, "Two minutes of your time earns you $20.  Every step is fraudulent.]  Next, you'll choose how the cost for QuickBooks compares to other accounting software.  [7 minutes in and still no word of PayPal.]  Not a single word about PayPal except in the title.  

We have created greatness …..that has mapped the world, created systems & infrastructure that we still use today.

AUSTIN FITTS: November 1995, is when the FDA approved OxyContin and when HUD . . . radically upped the predatory lending and the mortgage guys . . . that's when the beat down on the poor neighborhoods really accelerated [with] the pill mills . . . and you had the private prison move with rounding up, and, Wow. Of course, the illegal drugs were pouring in.

"You have to depopulate the G7 nations...you can't keep the rackets going and have this many people. [And now you have] Larry Fink bragging about how [they've] created an economic model where with AI and automation, we can grow the economy with a shrinking population."

Investment banker, former HUD official, and founder of the Solari Report () Catherine Austin Fitts describes for Ryan Cristián () how there was a "financial coup" of U.S. federal tax money that began in the fiscal quarter of 1998. This coup, which has now seen more than $20 trillion of taxpayer money go missing (between 1998 and 2015 alone), has come alongside a drop in life expectancy in the U.S. Fitts says that there was an attempt to balance the U.S. federal budget in 1995, but when that failed, that's when the FDA approved OxyContin and when HUD "radically upped the predatory lending and the mortgage guys." "If you look at life expectancy charts, that's exactly when life expectancy starts to turn down, first in the poor income groups, but then it accelerates dramatically during the pandemic," Fitts adds. "And if you look at our fertility...the only [country] who drops more [than we did] is China...And they had a one-child policy." Partial transcription of clip: "If you look at a building wealth reset versus direct going direct reset, essentially, here's the fundamental issue. If you look at how much the rackets are skimming from the economy, it is mind boggling. It's amazing that the wealth is as great as it is given the racket skim. So we have to dramatically reduce the racket skim Right. Or make it official and make it properly managed. Because right now, the racket skim is destroying productivity across the across the spectrum. So you have to reduce the racket skim or you have to somehow make it, you know, official and manage it properly, or you have to depopulate in the in the G7 nations. You have to do one or the other. You can't, you can't keep the rackets going and have this many people. "You know, it's interesting. The the financial coup started at the beginning of fiscal 1998. And but in the spring of 1997, the largest pension fund owner, president in the country, president of CalPERS, I was making a presentation on what I would now describe as the building wealth reset and how we could use new technology to make communities fantastically productive. Get government money out, dramatically reduce the deficit. And he looked at me and he said, 'You don't understand. It's too late. They've given up on the country.' I said, 'What do you mean it's too late?' He said 'They're moving all the money out starting in the fall.' "He said this to me in the spring of 1997. The fall of '97 is the beginning of the fiscal 1998 year, and that's when the money started to go missing. But it was clear to me that he was referring to they had given up. During 1995, there was a big effort to get the federal budget finally on a fiscally responsible basis. It ended up with a three-week budget war. You know, the government shut down, and, Rubin, as secretary of treasury went in and raided the exchange stabilization fund, which I think scared the guys who run the financial system to death because that's their sort of, you know, stash. And and I think that's when they gave up. And what was interesting is in the next month, November 1995, is when the FDA approved OxyContin and when HUD, you know, radically upped the predatory lending and the mortgage guys. And that's when the beat down on the poor neighborhoods really accelerated because they got the pill mills Right. The predatory lending, and you had the private prison move with rounding up and, wow. Of course, the illegal drugs were pouring in. "If you look at life expectancy charts, that's exactly when life expectancy starts to turn down, first in the poor income groups, but then it accelerates dramatically during the pandemic. And if you look at a chart of life expectancy in the 20 most industrialized countries, literally 19 look like this, and the United States looks like this. Wow. Now it's frightening. And if you look at our fertility, it also looks like this. The only one who drops more is China. Yeah. You know, and they had a one-child policy. Then so I have a new article called "Musings on Department of Defense," where I have those 2 charts, but I have a third video. And that's Larry Fink bragging about how we've now created an economic model where with AI and automation, we can grow the economy with the shrinking population."

Preserve the mouth microbiome, don't kill it, for it is connected to your gut

Thank you to Wejolyn.  

International Journal of Dental Hygiene explains that,

Five controlled clinical studies were included. These studies found associations between the daily use of mouthwashes and changes in the oral microbiome, but the nature of the effect varied according to the mouthwash. Chlorhexidine (CHX) rinses lowered microbial diversity. While 7-day use of CHX led to increases in the abundance of Neisseria,  Streptococcus,  and Granulicatella and a decrease in the abundance of Actinomyces, its prolonged use led to widespread reductions in several genera and species. Cetylpyridinium chloride-containing mouthwashes specifically lowered the abundance of gingivitis-associated genera. In contrast, N-acetyl cysteine-based mouthwashes did not promote changes in the oral microbiome. 

but concludes that it "favors the resolution of dysbiosis."  Contradictory.  How can these mouthwashes resolve dysbiosis when 

Dr. Alex Rinehart reminds us that,

Our system is normally protected from unwanted bacteria by the acidity of the stomach from hydrochloric acid production, and in the small intestine from bile acids. Yet the system isn’t perfect, and doesn’t always stop inflammation and toxins from finding their way into the blood from the gums.   
The oral microbiome is quite diverse. There are up to 700 species of bacteria in the mouth at any given time (3) – surpassing the 300-500 species of bacteria found in the gut (4). The bacteria in the gums will differ from the bacteria on the lips, as well as the cheek surface, the tongue, or the upper palate.

. . .

With more growth of the acid-producing bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans – the pH change not only leaches calcium from tooth enamel as part of the buffering process – the calcium can only do so much before the mouth becomes increasingly acidic due to the high growth of lactic acid-producing bacteria.

. . . 

A number of conditions have been linked to imbalances in the oral microbiome including:

Appendicitis, pneumonia, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, brain infection, respiratory infection, as well as lung ,liver, or spleen inflammation

CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS: Americans have "moved the political process out of the power zone and into the entertainment zone."

"You have to decide, do I wanna be entertained? And in that entertainment space; do I wanna get online and fight and argue with people about, you know, who's gonna win the election? Or do I wanna jump in and get involved in the nuts and bolts of implementing real change? ... I'm interested in real power and real change...I find the entertainment space stupefying." --Catherine Austin Fitts

"We've moved the political process out of the power zone and into the entertainment zone...And if you need any solution or real change, you gotta move back into the power zone." Investment banker, former HUD official, and founder of the Solari Report () Catherine Austin Fitts describes for Ryan Cristián () how Americans have "moved the political process out of the power zone and into the entertainment zone." Fitts notes that "in the power zone, if I decide I don't like something, then I'm gonna go down to the county commission or I'm gonna go to the state legislature or I'm gonna go to Congress, and I'm gonna work to get it changed." The investment banker adds that we are so "overwhelmed with consumer choices," however, that "politics [has] slowly migrated to the entertainment space." "You have to decide: Do I wanna be entertained and in that entertainment space? Do I wanna get online and fight and argue with people about, you know, who's gonna win the election? Or do I wanna jump in and get involved in the nuts and bolts of implementing real change?" Partial transcription of clip: "We've moved the political process out of the power zone into the entertainment zone...And if you need any solution or real change, you gotta move back into the power zone. "In the power zone, if I decide I don't like something, then I'm gonna go down to the county commission or I'm gonna go to the state legislature or I'm gonna go to Congress, and I'm gonna work to get it changed in the real actual mechanism that determines how the money gets whacked up and the resources get whacked up and what the laws are. "So I'm either gonna do it as an individual or I'm gonna figure out the groups that are do you know, taking it the right way, and I'm gonna work with them and support them. It's, you know, there are many different ways to go about it. It depends on the issue. But I'm gonna there there is a mechanism by which power is organized and allocated. And, in the legislative process and the administrative process, there is a law and regulation mechanism, and then the real powerful mechanism is the budget. "So you whack up the credit and you whack up the appropriations, you whack up the taxes. So when I was in Washington, I had one of the biggest budget jobs because I was overseeing the mortgage markets and the federal credit in the mortgage markets and all of those assets. I stopped watching TV from 1984 and I had a decorator who insisted you can't work in the government without TV. So she bought me a TV.
I had one for a brief period of time, and I would watch the Sunday shows. And I knew because I was working with the budget, everything that was happening pretty much in the budget in my area, but in related areas in the general budget. And and on the, you know, the Sunday shows, here's what's going on in the budget, and here's what the shows are saying, and they're two parallel universes. "I'll never forget realizing this, when I watched in the nineties as people who used to have real political impact and choices literally migrated from a world where they had political power and had influence and their vote had influence to a world where their their entire desire for choice and impact was satisfied by consumer choices. They were overwhelmed with consumer choices, and politics was slowly migrated to an entertainment space. "You have to decide, do I wanna be entertained? And in that entertainment space; do I wanna get online and fight and argue with people about, you know, who's gonna win the election? Or do I wanna jump in and get involved in the nuts and bolts of implementing real change? ... I'm interested in real power and real change...I find the entertainment space stupefying."
