The Scam
Taking a test is a lot easier if—with the help of classmates—you can look at the test questions a few hours before actually having to turn it in.
In 2003, I was a senior in my spring semester of college at Michigan State. There was a group of us in an advertising class, and we needed to come up with an advertising campaign as our final exam—I think it was for Kraft Mac & Cheese.

We learn about hustles and lies from all sides of a con: scam victims, scam baiters, and the scammers themselves.
WE ARE LIVING IN THE AGE OF THE SCAM. Catfishing, advanced video fakery, multilevel marketing, Instagram lifestyle gurus, the Fyre Festival, Dirty John, Trump Moscow, a pyramid scheme involving actual pyramids: scratch any news story these days, and fraud falls out.

DJ: DID YOU KNOW?
All the conversations and narratives from the past week seem to be suggesting the GCR/RV has started and is well underway.
Following a predesigned schedule of fund release: the tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 distribution sequences. Tier 4 being the public. Basically the Royals, Elders, elites and groups, then the public.
This rollout is over a period of time not a next day scenario. The key thing is to verify it has begun, then it is just a matter of time before the public gets their opportunities.
I listen to way too much rhetoric on the GCR with no real way to verify the information.
They say, the prosperity programs have begun payouts, paymasters have been made liquid, the USN is live though the QFS, F&Ps money is moved for disbursal. All good news but do we hear what we want to hear or is there reality behind it?

I think the answer lies in what is happening in the crypto currency world and the future of a cashless society. It looks like it will have a usefullness and life of it's own, so it can be used in multiple directions creating more value within it.
It would be advantageous for this to happen since it would no longer be held down any more from the weight of a currency not meeting expectations in the world economy.
We may have just found a path that will truly lead us all into a prosperous future each of us can live in well.
