The former 1980s Soviet agent, Agent Cob, who gave away British secrets to Russia, is once again working for his bosses in the Kremlin by trying to pass hacked and doctored ‘NHS’ documents from Russian hackers to damage Britain’s standing in the world.

Agent Cob, also known as Comrade Corbyn, who is now the leader of the Labour party is seeking election by peddling classified government documents which originated in Russia, which were posted on the Reddit site by a Russian hacking group called “Secondary Infektion” in late October.

Secondary Infektion used fabricated or altered documents to try to spread false narratives online, and stemmed from a network of social media accounts that Facebook said “originated in Russia”.

The Russian documents were last week distributed by Agent Cob at a press conference in central London, during which he claimed they provided evidence that Boris Johnson was preparing to put the NHS on the table.

Labour has refused to say whether they obtained the documents from Reddit or directly from the Kremlin.

In a statement last night, Reddit said the accounts appeared to show a “pattern of co-ordination” that suggested it was part of a group known as “Secondary Infektion”.

Agent Cob flatly denied he was working directly with the Russian government to interfere with the British elections on Friday at an impromptu press conference in London.

“Comrades, Bolshevik warriors, workers of the Red Labour party, our Russian brothers who seek to meddle with the upcoming election in Britain have told me through my reliable channels that it is not their hacking assistance that gave me the NHS documents but instead it was a direct communication via the FSB (formerly the KGB) I received whilst in my Islington dacha in October. My dear Russian comrades are only doing their jobs, as I am doing mine to spread as much fake news and misinformation as possible to affect the election. When I was a full time Soviet agent in the 1980s, I would regularly meet with my Czech handler and hand over vital British secrets to the Kremlin. Nothing really has changed since those wonderful days, and I am still a ‘useful idiot’ stooge to my Kremlin masters, however I also hold allegiance to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the IRA, so I am an equal opportunities traitor to Britain. I know you will vote for me, because you are brainwashed dumbed down socialists who also detest Britain deep down. Thank you for your vote, and let us together destroy Britain from the inside out with the help of our Russian comrades.”

To great applause from the audience who went to see Agent Cob deliver his speech, there seemed to be great support for the treachery and treason that Comrade Corbyn commits day in day out without any form of justice against his nefarious clandestine anti-British practices.

The despicable people who vote for Agent Cob and his mob of communists in the Labour party are effectively committing treason, and anti-Semitic sentiment that would make even Goebbels blush.

“Yes, I am an anti-Semite, I admit it fully. I detest all Jews with a profound hatred, because they dared to claim some land for themselves. Something which every nation and people in the world have attempted, but because they are Jews, they do not have a right to conquer land, only others do, but not Jews. It is in my capacity as Labour leader to therefore commit a pogrom against the awful Jews once I become Prime Minister of Soviet Britain. Are there any Jews in this audience? (one man puts his hand up) Security! Remove the Jew rat from here. We do not want such filthy creatures in our audience,” Comrade Corbyn, added to even greater cheers from his doting audience.

The chances are that even if you have absolutely no interest in business or money beyond spending it, you’ve heard of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency, for the uninitiated, is digital money. Rather than relying on physical or fiat cash, traders are now able to exchange bits of code for goods and services. Investors simply need to set up a digital wallet and head to an online exchange to start putting their own cash into bitcoin, Ethereum or otherwise.

Even if you’re not really up on your business or tech jargon, this probably all sounds fairly simple. That’s because, dear reader, it is. Crypto is easy to get into, and trading is instantaneous. There are also next to no fees involved when you pay online. This is appealing to businesses that want to start reaching out to customers on a global basis. Even certain bankers are saying that we’re heading towards a global digital currency. Whether or not this means that bitcoin is going to edge the pound out is another factor.

However, trends suggest that while crypto has never been more popular with the average investor in the UK, businesses still aren’t taking the bait. There’s still talk of bitcoin, for example, being on the edge of going mainstream. Millions of people trade in the money online – so why isn’t it seen as a big enough thing yet?

Big risks and small prizes

If you’ve read any of the media spin on crypto in recent years – bitcoin especially – then you’ll notice that there’s a pattern. To this day, bankers and big businesses seem to be scared of crypto. There are a few good reasons for this, especially when you look at the bigger picture.

Crypto is volatile. Recent news, and any headlines you can search for, show that it’s unpredictable. It spikes highly, and then drops down low again. It also does this regularly. Bitcoin came to the edge of a bubble in 2018 yet seems to have come through the other side. People are still more than willing to trade in the money, meaning that there can’t be too many risks.

However, the currency still isn’t mainstream here because there are a few big players yet to clarify their positions. HM Revenue & Customs has a policy of crypto profits and assets. There is also a vague position in law. However, the central banks and financiers are not keen to suggest that bitcoin, in particular, is on the same level as the pound. That’s because of a lack of centralisation.

Will Libra change everything?

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has spent the past 12 months slowly regaining ground after a tumultuous 2018 by trying to push Project Libra. Project Libra is Facebook’s landmark digital currency. Zuckerberg has clear designs on the project offering up a global currency, one that can be used by everyone, everywhere. Many hope that this will move crypto into the mainstream.

However, seasoned investors have their doubts. That’s because Libra isn’t like other crypto. Unlike bitcoin or Ethereum, it will have central oversight. Crypto, on the whole, is decentralised, which means that there are no middle managers keeping an eye on things. Libra will work on a centralised basis to some degree, which some crypto purists are claiming defeats the whole object of digital money in the first place.

Libra, however, could introduce new audiences to crypto, especially in the UK. Facebook’s core audience now consists of 30-somethings and older. This is a market that may not have come across traditional crypto on their own. Therefore, the first taste that many people could get of digital money will be through Libra. Ask a few crypto investors and you might get a frightened response.

What now?

The reasons for crypto not ‘going mainstream’ are pretty obvious. It’s still an unknown entity. While the benefits are clear, and proven, big businesses and financiers aren’t sure whether or not society can depend on such a volatile asset. That’s understandable. However, with trends showing that more and more of us are getting into the crypto game, it’s making less sense for businesses to hold out.

Until British people educate themselves more on crypto, it’s going to be a fringe benefit. Experts, and trends, suggest that it’s going to explode into the mainstream in just a few years. Can smaller businesses really wait that long? Mainstream or not, crypto is pretty important, and it’s time more of us started sitting up and paying attention to its benefits. For now, you can fumble with the fiat money in your pocket – but you might be dabbling in digital coppers in the future.

Electronically sending money overseas is done more regularly today than it has been before. That’s because there are more reasons than ever to do so, and electronic transfers cut out a lot of unnecessary waiting times. Writing a check or paying for a money order to send overseas is usually not needed for the most part because the ways you can transfer money electronically can reach both regular bank accounts as well as those who don’t have one. And in many cases, your money can be received within a few days or even within minutes. So what do you need to know about sending money electronically?

Understand The Exact Reasons The Person Needs The Money

Why you’re sending the money makes all the difference in how you do it. Are you trying to help a family member who may be involved in an emergency where their savings are depleted and they need money right away? Are you trying to support someone you know in an effort to start a business who needs startup funding? Maybe you’re paying bills for yourself or on behalf of someone else and need to send money to the creditor. All of these are important factors that can affect the way you send money.

Sending Money Electronically Through An E-Check

If you want to send money to someone electronically but don’t want to have a check sent in the mail, an e-check is one way to do it. You simply use an e-check service which can send a PDF file of the check to the recipient’s email instantly. When they receive the e-check, they could print it out to deposit in a bank or mobile deposit it. There could be a few problems with this if your recipient doesn’t have a bank account and wants to cash the check, or if they need it in a different currency than what the check was sent in. But it still may be one way to send checks without the need to wait.

Sending Money Directly From One Bank Account To Another

In some cases, you can send money that’s in your bank account without even needing to write a paper or e-check at all. Some banks allow you to send funds to an external bank account by using the specific account number as well as the external bank’s routing number. Not all of them do transfers from a domestic bank to a foreign bank though unless you do an international wire transfer. An international wire transfer can happen instantly, and it allows for foreign exchange. But it has extremely high fees and should only be used for very large transfers.

Sending Money Through A Third Party Transfer Agency

Sometimes you need a little more flexibility in how you send money electronically, such as wanting more payment options to do it with or allowing it to be picked up in cash. You can send money online abroad through a third party transfer agency where you can use an app or go to an agent location in person to send money. The benefits to using a third party transfer agency include the following:

1. Your choice of using bank accounts, debit cards including prepaid ones, credit cards or         cash to send money

2. Exchange rates are listed upfront and can come with lower fees than regular transfer         services

3. A tracking number can be used to verify your funds have been received or to cancel           the transfer

Sending Money Through A Peer-to-peer Transfer App

There are other kinds of apps known as peer-to-peer payment apps you can setup an account, add funds to it by linking a bank account, and also pay for things or send money using a debit or credit card. There are benefits to using this kind of app such as eliminating even more fees, and transferring funds instantly by simply entering the recipient’s username. The only downside to this way of sending money is that some p2p apps are geographically restricted, and your recipient may not be able to withdraw funds from their account without having a bank account or prepaid debit card.

It’s very simple to send money abroad in theory, but you need to check with your recipient before doing so to make sure they’re able to receive it the way you want to send. Also keep in mind that some transfer services have limits on how much you can send as do some countries based on financial laws.
