{thehill.com} ~ The Islamic Republic of Iran has a long way to go before it’s ready to launch a national cryptocurrency. Tehran’s central bank has that ambition, but the effort remains at the experimental stage... Some recent media reports claim that Iran has “launched” a state cryptocurrency based on gold called the Peyman. What really is happening, however, is less dramatic. It has few immediate implications for Iranian sanctions evasion, but does signal Iran’s strategic intent to use blockchain technology to develop long-term sanctions resistance. Iran’s finance and technology sectors are teaming up to pilot a cryptocurrency platform that would give Iranian banks new ways to represent and transfer financial assets. At the Central Bank of Iran’s Eighth Annual Electronic Payments and Banking Systems Conference in late January, the head of Iranian tech startup Kuknos presented plans for four Iranian banks to use his company’s cryptocurrency platform to convert bank assets into security tokens. This involves representing ownership shares of traditionally illiquid assets like real estate or debt equity onto a blockchain so that such shares could be traded and transferred more easily. Of the four banks involved — Parsian Bank, Bank Pasargad, Bank Melli Iran and Bank Mellat — all but Pasargad are currently under U.S. sanctions. The banks themselves have funded Kuknos to develop this project. However, the central bank also reported at the conference that it currently is testing five different cryptocurrency models. The Peyman is the first of several Iranian cryptocurrencies that may get unveiled in the coming year. It is not a new “crypto-rial.” The Peyman pilot project is led by the tech sector with buy-in from some banks. Iran’s central bank in July 2018 announced that it planned to issue a sovereign cryptocurrency to be used initially by domestic banks and that various companies were working out the kinks for such an endeavor. The Kuknos team is marketing its platform to government officials and apparently is gaining some traction. Last week, Kuknos signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran’s department of Science and Technology to develop a distributed ledger technology innovation center focused on capital markets...

As The Federalist’s Spencer Brown observes, “It’s no wonder figures like commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rocketed straight out of liberal institutions and onto the national stage with proposals like the Green New Deal — they’re doing exactly as they were taught.” ~The Patriot Post

I hate to say this, but yes, communism has been here since the 60s and 70s indoctrinated thou our school system and we let it happen. You can see how our kids are thinking and reacting to a capitalist news. We all need to open the eye of the youth and show them what communism has done not only to our country but to others.
The Left is no longer hiding its intent... to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state. They believe, and rightly so, that they have the firm support of the tens of millions needed to transform America.
America's youth no longer look upon America as that shining city, set upon a hill, holding the promise for a better tomorrow. No, our future, our youth, have been indoctrinated by Socialist within our government and public schools. They have been completely subverted, turned against America's traditional culture, its form of government, and economic activity.
We are witnessing what Nakita Khrushev prognosticated in a circa 1959 speech where he said:
"We will bury you. Your children will be communists." And, he followed up later, by stating: "No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you."
Khrushchev wasn’t exactly right. We buried and destroyed our own economy, as Goldwater warned in 1964, the new American philosophy of getting 'something for nothing' and our lack of responsibility as a nation and individuals... resulting in the creation of the welfare state, and a people with an entitlement attitude... rather than a viable work ethic.
Look around. Socialism is here, and a large portion, perhaps a majority, of the American people willingly accept it... Many are demanding it.

That is a good though but as long as the liberals are in charge of our education we will continue to try to over come their ideas and control. Don't ever give up.
I AM TELLING U THIS HAS TO BE CHANGED
WE HAVE TO START TEACHING OUR KIDS
