Cryptocurrency: Freedom Protests and Crypto Freedom Trigger Panic In Governments
As they say... it is happening ;) Government Terrorists aka Criminal Politicians "Leaders" Bureaucrats and Administrations, are now outright stealing and canceling the funds of innocent and unadjudicated people en masse, and ordering their Corporate Cronies in the Criminal Conspiracy to do the same. Not only in Fiat, but now intending at centralized crypto chokepoints too. Cryptocurrency warned you these days of total control, over Financial Freedom Personal Sovereignty Bodily Autonomy and more, were coming, and gave you at least one path to route around it to maintain and regain Freedom. Own the money, then defund the oppressors. Governments are in abject fear of losing their arbitrary pointless and brutal power they've stolen from Human Freedom over thousand of year. And their animalistic fear response is getting much more dangerous. Distributed Privacy Enabled Cryptocurrency and Voluntaryism are stronger than they are... this triggered panic response to innocent reclamation of natural freedom is direct evidence that cryptocurrency is working and that you are close to the inevitable win of Freedom over Power... so keep pushing adoption... faster, harder, deeper, broader... now, FTW! https://v.redd.it/x2je3kq4w5i81 Authoritarians Label Freedom as Terrorism

It’s a common little factoid at this point lol. Every documentary about something that started off as conspiracy tells that story and you see it mentioned in passing at least 3 times per day on any conspiracy forum. I remember my first time seeing it, way back in ‘96, when they were talking about chem trails.

I use this to shut people up if they call me a conspiracy theorist. Ask them what their thoughts are on the JFK assassination because come on, nobody believes the lie they came out with anymore, and then inform them of the origins of the phrase and point out they are also one. They must be if they no longer believe the Lee Harvey Oswald story. It confuses the shit out of people and they generally wander off in a daze, looking like they can't solve a 'magic trick'. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Abthagawd 2 points 22 hours ago I miss JFK, I watch his speeches to feel hope again- then I wake up to this society and wonder where did all the humble, honest and sincere politicians go. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]dion_o 1 point 1 day ago That's just what they want you to think! permalink embed save parent report reply [–]silvertonguedmute 1 point 18 hours ago It's true that the CIA coined the term to undermine whistleblowers, but that doesn't mean that those who theorize that the English queen is a shapechanging spacelizard.

Hyperbole to justify censorship. Im sure thats never occurred in any fascist regime. after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.

I’ve got a list of events dating back to 540 that I’m breaking down into categories to show the evolution of crimes against the people using disease/vaccinations, licensing, war, opium and other drugs, mind control through psychology using education, government acts, media and war, the growth of the Masonic lodge and Illuminati…it’s a list of insane acts to control people, the population growth, and the world in general. This crap has been going on for thousands of years and the people just keep calling for better government. It’s the stupidest wish we could ever hope for and will never ever solve our problems because any form of governing IS THE PROBLEM. The entire system needs to be dismantled and the people need to go through the growing pains of reconnecting with nature if they ever want peace. The system MUST BE CRUSHED. It would be a very easy process if everyone would wake up to this fact. Easier than people believe, but they have been conditioned to believe that we need the system or we’ll suffer. We suffer as a direct result of the system, not in spite of it. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Defund_Hedgefunds 6 points 1 day ago We've been conditioned to do exactly as we're told, from our first day in preschool.

He took a large handful of Canadians and installed them in the governnent, which is what led Ukraine into being one of the most corrupt countries on earth, giving corrupt world politicians and their families the opportunity to be installed on energy company boards to enrich themselves behind the scenes.

People need to start paying attention to the Uniparty that's in control right now. Things are going downhill at an unheard of pace, and not just in the US. The same thing is happening all over the world. Politicians no longer give a fuck about bad optics anymore, and that should frighten everyone equally. Event 201 and Agenda 2030 are very real and very close. The "my team" bullshit is a meaningless facade.

As a long time PAL & RPAL license holder, I honestly think IF they even manage to, it won’t be successful regardless of the way they go about. The main reason imo is only restricted & prohib firearms (handguns & guns with a barrel length of under 18.5” or an overall length (including stock) of 25.9”) need to be registered with the RCMP. Anything else over that is classified as non-restricted and doesn’t have to be registered with the RCMP. This means they can buy back and destroy all the restricted firearms easily but non-restricted firearms can’t be tracked well (especially if you buy them used which many do). Also, most legal firearms license holders mainly have non-restricted firearms, soooo if you get what I’m putting down, the gov can ban them but I can bet you money there will still be an abundance of them kicking around. Especially in rural areas.

We're too educated, we know better, etc. But now, just as in these books, you have citizens in Canada cheering gleefully as their fellow countrymen are labeled as terrorists, their assets are frozen by the federal government, and their legitimate gripes about vaccination mandates are ignored and demeaned. Something that I believe a lot of people don't understand is that the right to bodily autonomy is actually characterized as a fundamental right by the United Nations. The UN says here that "Not only is bodily autonomy a human right, it is the foundation upon which other human rights are built." This article goes into it a little bit deeper and further illustrates why Canadians are more than justified in protesting vaccine mandates. Yet, hundreds of millions in the west can't seem to grasp this concept. This is a scary time we're living in right now. permalink embed save report reply [–]oyfe77 10 points 1 day ago Clear fascism.

The USA’s dark money players, the “deep state” if you want to call it that, probably with loads of ex-intelligence assistance, astroturfed the LIVING SHIT out of OTTOWA, (of all the motherfucking places in North America) and it totally fucking worked! They created yet another “movement” out of thin air, and now legislation is being passed based on the potential, pretty much fucking imaginary consequences of said trucker mandate protest. It’s not like thousands of the truckers physically infiltrated parliament & started taking political hostages or something, or like the Canadian armed forces found pipe bombs and assault rifles planted all around the place (did they?)... But because of what could possibly happen in the future, Canada (a much more Democratic country than the USA on paper, for better or worse) is enacting near-authoritarian financial/internet measures banning cryptocurrencies. Who here actually thinks that was an accident? Who here actually believes that was an organic move on Canada’s part alone, and that this wasn’t all orchestrated top-to-bottom by the United States? How gullible of a people do they really think we are, here? Like we won’t eventually figure out what the fuck just happened? A largely astroturfed group of (supposedly all conservative) protesters got together, nobody was injured whatsoever, and now consequently cryptocurrencies are illegal in Canada. And supposedly, the rest of North America and the developed world isn’t going to immediately follow suit. Sure, likely fucking story. Just like the first round of anti-mask and “anti-homeless“ protests & political action campaigns in LA & NYC were 99% cooked up by a company that runs astroturfing campaigns out of an office building in Beverly Hills (http://www.crowdsondemand.com), the Freedom ConvoyTM began as a handshake agreement over whiskey in a high-rise office building with a handful of guys in suits. But if you think that whole thing isn’t a false flag... 200 trucks... are you kidding me? Cryptocurrency is now out because of one minute of LA freeway traffic in Ottawa? And that makes sense?

https://brownstone.org/articles/society-vs-state-canada-reveals-the-core-con... Society Vs State: Canada Reveals The Core Conflict Of Our Age Justin Trudeau’s confrontation with the Canadian truckers may be the single most significant event of the Covid pandemic – not because of its eventual outcome, whatever that may be, but because of what it symbolises. It captures, in perfect microcosm, the tensions between the competing imperatives of the age: freedom versus security; the rule of law versus flexible ‘responsive’ governance; the priorities of the workers versus those of the Zooming bourgeoisie; the need for real-world human interaction and belonging versus the promises of splendid online isolation; the experiences of the common man, who knows where it hurts, versus those of the professional expert class, who know nothing that cannot be expressed as a formula. More than all of that, though, it gives us a lens through which to view a much deeper, much older conflict of much larger scope – one which underlies not just the struggles of the Covid age, but of modernity itself. On the one hand, the state, which seeks to make all of society transparent to its power. On the other, alternative sources of authority – the family, the church, the community, the firm, the farm, and the human individual herself. For centuries, the state has waged a quiet war against those competitors, and bent them to its will. It has done this not through conspiracy or deliberate strategy but merely through the single-minded pursuit, across generation after generation of political leaders, of one goal: legitimacy. Governments and other state organs derive their legitimacy, and therefore their positions of rulership, from convincing the population that they are necessary. They do this by suggesting that without their intervention, things will go badly; left to their own devices, ordinary people will suffer. The family, the church, the community, the firm, the farm, the human individual – these are inadequate to the task of securing human well-being. That task, only the state is equipped to achieve, for only the state can keep the population educated, healthy, safe, prosperous and satisfied. Since this is the case, only the state is fit to deploy power – and only those who govern the state are fit to rule. The logic of this argument is writ large, of course, in the Covid response across the developed world. What will keep us ‘safe?’ Certainly not traditional sources of succour, such as the church or the family. Certainly not individual people, who cannot be trusted to behave responsibly or assess risks for themselves. No – it is only the state, first with its lockdowns, then with its social distancing, its mask mandates, its vaccine programs, and lately its vaccine mandates and ‘passports.’ It is only the state’s power that saves and secures. And since only the state can save, it is the only legitimate source of authority – along, of course, with its leaders. The state portraying itself as saviour in this fashion is patently false and absurd given what has taken place over the past two years. But as false and absurd as it is, it remains the subtext behind all of Covid policy. Justin Trudeau must derive his legitimacy from somewhere to maintain power. And he senses – political animal that he is – that he can derive it from displaying the Canadian state (with himself at the helm, of course) as the only thing standing between the Canadian public and suffering and death. It is the state, remember – in this case with its vaccine mandates – that saves and secures. Without it, the reasoning goes, the population would suffer and die as Covid ran riot. The political logic is inescapable. For a man like Trudeau, without principle except that he alone is fit to govern, there is only one path to follow. Insist that it is the state that saves and secures, and that anything that stands in its way – truckers beware – must therefore be crushed beneath its heel. The truckers, for their part, represent everything that the state despises. They have a social and political power that is independent from it, and hence form one of the alternative sources of power which it hates and fears. This power derives not from some institution which the truckers dominate, but simply from their status amongst what I will refer to as the yeomanry classes – almost the last bastion of self-sufficiency and independence in a modern society such as Canada. In a developed economy, most of the professional classes – doctors, academics, teachers, civil servants and the like – derive their incomes and status entirely or partially, directly or indirectly, from the existence of the state. If they are not civil servants, their status is built on regulatory apparatus which only the state can build and enforce. This is also, of course, true of the underclass, who are often almost totally reliant on the state for the meeting of their needs. The members of these classes pose no threat to the state’s legitimacy, because, simply put, they need it. It, as a consequence, is perfectly happy to tolerate their existence – and, indeed, it wishes all of society were that way inclined. A population entirely reliant on the state is one which will never question the necessity of the growth of its power and hence its capacity to buttress its own legitimacy. But in the middle are those people, the modern yeomanry, who derive their incomes from private sources, as sole traders, owners of small businesses, or employees of SMEs. Independent-minded, seeing self-sufficiency as a virtue, and relying on themselves and their relationships with others rather than the state, these modern yeomen represent a natural barrier to its authority. Simply put, they do not need it. They earn their money through the use of a particular skill which others value and hence pay for on the open market. Whether or not the state exists is immaterial to their success – and, indeed, it very frequently stands in their way. These are the type of people who, seeing a problem, tend to want to find a solution for themselves. And they are precisely the kind of people who want to make up their own minds about whether to take a vaccine, and to assess health-related risks in general. The modern state has waged incessant and covert war against the yeomanry in particular. At every step, it seeks to regulate their business affairs, restrict their liberty, and confiscate their prosperity. There is always a purportedly ‘good’ reason for this. But it contributes to an incessant whittling away of their independence and strength. It is no accident that they are described in British parlance as the ‘squeezed middle’ – squashed as they are between the welfare-reliant underclass on the one hand, and the white-collar professionals who draw their wealth, directly or indirectly, from the state on the other. It is also no accident that these modern yeomen have gradually seen their political representation diminish over the course of the last 100 years, in whichever developed society one cares to name; the politicians they would elect would be mostly interested in getting the state out of the way, and modern politicians’ incentives all incline in the opposite direction. Their interest is in the inexorable growth of state power, because that is from where their legitimacy derives. Justin Trudeau’s contempt for the truckers is therefore genuine and profound. He sees in them not an obstacle to Covid policy or a potential threat to public health. Not even he could possibly be so stupid as to think it matters whether or not these people take their vaccines. No: he identifies in them a barrier to forces in which his political future is entwined – an ever-increasing scope and scale for governmental authority, and the opportunities to buttress his own legitimacy that would follow from it. And his contempt for them is outweighed, of course, by his fear. Because he surely recognises that his authority is wafer-thin. Legitimacy cuts both ways. If he fails to suppress the truckers’ revolt, the entire edifice on which his authority rests – as the helmsman of the Canadian state and its purported capacity to protect the population from harm – will come tumbling down. This conflict is therefore not about Covid – it’s existential. Does it matter if the truckers win or lose? No. What matters is what their efforts have revealed to us about the relationship between the state and society in 2022.
