This way, during the next election cycle, they can claim that they honestly believed that Trump didn't win, but that they are on Trumps side because they voted to acquit him.
The fundamental problem here is that we are constantly financing our enemies through the inflation tax. Tens and thousands of government employees, tens and thousands of federal law enforcement and deep state agents, tens and thousands of large corporate officers financed by stock buybacks and ever escalating stock prices. All of them are beholden to the system, which has been driven by politics and not the market, since the 2008 bailout.
We simply must end the fed to move forward. Maybe it will end through revolution, or through the political process, or through separation of the states, or through financial disaster like a currency crises, or people leaving the system by the millions using alternatives to the US dollar like gold and crypto. I don't know the best path forward, but we should be looking at all options to break free for the sake of our futures and our kids futures.
(latin translation) Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it!
I love large industry, and economies of scale. Yes there was always some "unpureness", but overall they did great things for society, and society rewarded them with great wealth, and I so was happy for them to have it, because every penny they got represented something great they did for society.
Now I hate them. The very love of freedom and free enterprise that built them up, made them great and caused me to love them, has been abandoned it like it is used garbage. What gives? What did Obama say to them in those high level silicon valley meetings? What caused them to turn their back on the very free market that enabled their enormous wealth? Are they unable to see that they are destroying the foundation their house was built on?
Part of the problem is that the market has been dead since 2008. From the moment the banks were bailed out, capital has been allocated into the market by political forces instead of market forces, and everything has been unraveling since then. Slowly at first, but now very quickly.
The elites in all these industries are the smartest people in the world, it saddens me so few can see that this can not be the path forward. It saddens me that so few people understand that we need to ween ourselves off dependence on the state, and the Federal Reserve. The state sells us the con that they can allocate resources more thoughtfully and efficiently than individuals with their own private capital, and the fed gets us addicted to the cheap financing we long for. They are like a con man and a heroin dealer pretending to be our friends, but are really out to take everything we have and destroy us in the process.
At some point, we have to find our character and say enough is enough. The alternative is death.
END THE FED !!!! It's not a coincidence that the more they bail things out and finance government, the worse things get.
You see, a lot of these large banks play this game where they "effectively" borrow money from the central bank at say 1% APR, and buy US Treasuries at say 2% APR. This is basically a way for the fed to give printed up money to the banks, and to finance the government for free. However, things like gold and silver which are a direct competitor to the US dollar for reserve status are a big threat to their profitability in these trades, so they willingly short the gold market, even if it means risking losses. Other countries around the world who know what's going on go along with this to stock up on their gold reserves at below market costs. Everybody wins, except for the people who want honest money, and who try to protect their savings by using gold.
If you blow up this short trade, then everybody is going to panic into gold. Also, the US central bank can only hope to bail out the losses of the banks by printing dollars, but that will drive the price of gold even higher. Then as the gold price rises, other countries will dump dollars and buy gold for reserves, driving the price even higher. Then, at some point the federal reserve will realize that they have to save the dollar, and you do that by ding, ding, ding, buying gold (and silver) on a massive scale to prop up the value of the currency and implicitly back it with precious metals.
We could literally wake up one morning to find every bank and government in the USA is bankrupt, and the price of gold is over 10000 per oz.
Then maybe, just maybe every market wouldn't be a damn casino roller coaster ride zoo fest and people actually might put money into jobs instead of stock buybacks, and playing financial games.
I also don't give a crap about saying "i told you so" to the moron leftists, they'll figure it out on their own given enough time, but that does nothing for us.
To succeed, we need to secede.
Lets face it, 90% of email goes through a few providers like Microsoft, google, and yahoo. They already have access to what we read, write, and comment on. They already have sophisticated tools to block unwanted content in spam and such, and sophisticated AI to analyze email for content.
I could see them banning alternatives like protinmail for "hate speech", blocking email accounts that don't meet "community standards", and also blocking certain words in email. They have even already developed the technology for China, which does it already. It doesn't seem like it's that far of a reach.
Make it illegal to withhold tax money for the federal government, make it illegal to share information with them, make it illegal for them to seize property or to aid them in seizing property, and to make it illegal to assist in prosecution of federal tax "crimes". make it illegal to follow orders to freeze assets or accounts.
After that, we need to have state money or agree to an alternate currency so the fed can't kill us with the inflation tax while they print up money for all the blue states. States and counties should seriously consider requiring prices, contracts, pay, fuel, mortgages, and rent to be denominated in goldbacks, even if they accept tender in some other currency.
Half the problem is that since the gov already takes most of our income before we even see it, it becomes much harder to foster the proper adversarial relationship with the government and see them for the thieves that they are. Once people see the true cost of government, like a private company, their attitudes will be subject to change a lot.
We give them power over us by using their money, and dutifully reporting everything we make to the government. Consider instead using gold and crytpos, and keeping transactions private.
We give them power over us by using their schools. Seriously, nobody would send their lids to the local crime syndicate, for fear they would be corrupted, but ironically that is exactly what most people do.
We give them power over us by using their police and justice systems. In truth, we should try to privatize security, arbitration, and come up with solutions that rely on them as little as possible.
We give them power over us by supporting their cartels, especially the "woke" ones. So many of these companies are propped up by government regulations that hinder competitors, and government printed up money that fluffs up their stock value. We need to identify these people and take them down a peg.
We rely on them by pushing power up the food chain. 90% of what the federal government does can be done by the state governments, and 90% of what the state governments do can be don't by the county governments. And 90% of what both of them do, can often be done by ourselves privately.
There are at least 80 million of us. That is larger that most countries on the planet. There is no reason why we can't stand on our own, and no reason why we have to rely on them when push comes to shove. We can create our own economies, infrastructure, and education, and justice.
It's clear now, that was all bullshit. This was never about having a government that served the people but that one that steals income and controls people to serve the elite, and throws out a bunch bullshit to justify it.
They are giving our military loyalty tests, because they have every intent to use them to oppress us. This is the action somebody takes, when they are at war with you, not when they are trying to secure the peace. The first order of business is always to secure loyalty in the ranks. In order for us to win, we need to have the same mentality, find out who will be on our side, and who won't.
The left is declaring war on us, because they have every intent to make us pay for the financial excesses of the blue states. They need to beat us down, like good little slaves, to be their beasts of burden when they get their turn. If we want our freedom, we need to have a plan to break free and secede, and to secure our military assets before they attack.
This isn't something I just pulled out of my ass one day. This has happened in every country the leftists have seized power, ever.
The idea is that we petition the 2400 or so red counties to leave the union. Once we reach a threshold of 500 counties, we pull the trigger and form an alliance of 500 independent mini nation states. Other red counties can join as time goes on. The advantage is that it is a lot easier for the federal government to strong arm a few states, than a decentralized effort of a few thousand counties, and the effort is a lot more local, and has a lot more local accountability to the people they govern. Also, nobody has to put their neck on the line till there the movement is unstoppable. It also provides a path to liberty for red counties in blue states.
Once upon a time there were these pro democrat trade unions in America's industrial centers. Like most Democrats, they were racist, but back then they didn't even try to hide it and they were all white. These trade union members were highly trained and skilled, but they still had job insecurities. Why? Well, it turns out that the unskilled and untrained black workers were willing to do the same work for 28 cents on the dollar. With that kind of savings on pay, it was worth it for companies to take a risk and give them an opportunity, because even though they were not as skilled, they were way less expensive, making the risk of hiring them worth it. So the democrat racist trade unions came up with a plan. The plan was to petition the state legislature to create a wage floor, a minimum wage, just high enough to fuck the black workers out of the workforce, and lock in their cartel. The democrat legislatures didn't try to hide their racism back then either, they stood up on the floor of the NY state legislature and declared that we need a wage floor to protect out white workers. It's on the public record. Before passing this "wage floor" law, black unemployment was about the same as white unemployment, but ever since then black unemployment and white unemployment has never been the same, especially for black male teens. Of course, today they pretend to not be racist, and have all these government programs to "help" black youth, but like most democrat programs, they don't work worth a fuck and nobody really gives a fuck and nobody wants to solve the core problem, the minimum wage.
In sum, the minimum wage never was about a living wage, or protecting low wage workers, but about racism, fucking people out of getting their foot in the door for a job, favoring cartels over private individuals, and favoring high cost urban areas over less expensive rural areas.
Don't believe me? Search online for the "racist history of the minimum wage" especially the writings of Thomas Sowell. The truth is everywhere once you look for it.
And yes, I am painfully aware remonetizing gold would cut off new money from the Fed and immediately throw the USA into a great depression. But the only thing worse than a great depression is a hyper-inflationary great depression and we all know that is exactly where Biden is going to put us. He certainly isn't going to get us out of our massive debt problem with economic growth. Thank You.
First, that's our capital building not theirs. People have paid back breaking taxes into the system for their entire life. I find it outrageous that these people are being treated like criminals, when they are the ones who have been robbed and betrayed.
Second, it is not a sacred institution. While the USA is one of the better governments on the planet, sacredness rests inside the free people who live in this country, not within it's symbols and institutional entities.
Third, that building is filled with criminals and scum. It's precisely because humans have that basic primary instinct for justice that they acted the way they did. If I defend my home from a criminal, you do not have the right to call me violent, any more than we have the right to call them violent.
Fourth, the damage was rather minimal all things considered. There was some collateral damage, that is being greatly over exaggerated with many details being held back, and whatever did happen is a case of one or two bad apples, nothing more.
They can gaslight, they can cancel services, they can lie and manipulate, they can brow beat and guilt trip, they can make lists and threaten people, they can even string up a few people to set and example and burn them alive. But when push comes to shove, they can't make us respect their authority. These people are nothing without us. A quick look at the red counties map will show who produces the food, who drills for the oil, who mines the commodities, who delivers the goods to market, and who works in the factories. We are the hosts, and they are the leeches. We know it, they know it, in the end they can do nothing without our compliance. Don't ever let them forget that.
Have a link to the page on the front page side bar, list the companies, and why we shouldn't do business with them. That way, we can check it against the companies we do business with. Maybe have a list of 'good boy' companies too, ones that have supported freedom of the people.
It is not a swamp, it is an ocean filled with shit. You can't drain it. We don't need a change in leadership, we already had a good leader, we need a change in strategy to move our ship out of this shit hole.
IMHO, that strategy is massive decentralization. Decentralization such as secession movements, decentralization such as not using government schools and their 50 gender standard curriculum, decentralization like not using centralized platforms like YouTube, but instead decentralized platforms like lbry. Even decentralized money, like crypto currencies. Once we get our ecosystem large enough, we will become unstoppable.
