The U.S. Justice Department has tapped a seasoned computer crimes prosecutor to lead its new national cryptocurrency enforcement team and announced on Thursday that the FBI is launching a unit for blockchain analysis and virtual asset seizure.
Canadian authorities have ordered the nation's regulated financial firms to halt the facilitation of any transactions from at least 34 crypto wallets connected to the funding of the "Freedom Convoy" protests.
Tensions also spiked Thursday along the line that separates Ukrainian forces from Russia-backed separatists in the country’s east, with both sides accusing each other of intensive shelling in a long-simmering conflict that has killed 14,000 people.
In a surprise blow to diplomacy, Russia ordered the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Bart Gorman, to leave the country, the State Department said. It called the move “unprovoked” and “an escalatory step.” Russia did not say why he was expelled.
Russia held out an offer of diplomacy, handing the U.S. a response Thursday to offers to engage in talks on limiting missile deployments in Europe, restrictions on military drills and other confidence-building measures.
The response, released by the Foreign Ministry, deplored the West's refusal to meet the main Russian security and demands and reaffirmed that Moscow could take unspecified “military-technical measures” if the U.S. and its allies continue to stonewall its concerns.
China, a key Russian geopolitical ally, accused Washington of “playing up and sensationalizing the crisis and escalating tensions.” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said the U.S. should “take seriously and address Russia’s legitimate and reasonable concerns on security assurance.”

If all Canadian banks really are off-line, that will make it impossible for many to pay their bills.
This could boomerang quickly (as Cranky once noted, "if true").

Russian-backed rebels and Ukrainian forces traded accusations on Thursday that each had fired across the ceasefire line in eastern Ukraine, raising alarm at a time when Western countries have warned of the possibility of a Russian invasion any day.
The details of the incidents could not be independently confirmed, and the initial reports suggested they were on a similar scale to ceasefire violations that have been common throughout the eight year conflict.

The Epstein Story - 2019
Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day equivalents of organized crime....
The Defense Industrial Security Command has always been kept secret because it acts, in addition to its two official control organizations, on behalf of NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission, the U.S. Information Agency, and the arms, equipment, ammunition, munitions and related miscellaneous supply manufacturing corporations contracting with NASA, the AEC, USIA, and the Pentagon. One can readily observe that DISC is not compatible with an open Democracy andthe U.S. Constitution. Consequently, the top secret arms manufacturers' policeagency has been kept from the knowledge of even most U.S. officials and Congressmen.
The Defense Industrial Security Command is the police andespionage agency for the U.S. munitions makers. DISC was organized by J. EdgarHoover; William Sullivan, his chief assistant, is in direct command. We shall later examine the involvement of a large number of the DISC agents including Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister, David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and others with Permindex's Louis Mortimer Bloomfield of Montreal, Canada in charge.

I am momentarily heading over to behind enemy lines communication but was just wondering about ku post C before D.
Do you think that it means cash before digital?
Seems we are getting a lot of communication about banks, cash and crypto which has also been linked to Mr. Pool and now with Trudeau delving head first into this area just has me wondering.

Its an interesting idea since most of the posts have different meanings. My belief is that too much thinking goes into the KU posts and the solutions are not as complex as what we think but in actuality the letters and items that have boxes around them etc. are used for triggers for people out in the field for go codes etc based off the misspellings in certain posts and we will never really know what the meanings are.
My thinking is that certain field personnel only follow certain accounts. It was also brought up by Rel a few weeks ago that many of the similar posts and possibly certain posts were set in place for specific timelines. If a timeline changes it could be a possibility that some KU posts are no longer relevant and just adds more misdirection and adds valuable time for BHs to waste trying to figure it out.
Now back to the C before D, how I see it is that the process must follow the correct order.It has to be done by the book and it must be done legally. In other words you can't go to step D without doing C first.
