but they can take your fiat if you don't carefully obfuscate your BTC so that it cannot be linked to you

Now it’s not only to move your assets, now they need to tax you for holding the assets. No matter what, they want their portion

President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

Before it reached his desk, many congressmen were coerced into believing it to be a ‘federal entity’ given its name.

However, there is nothing “federal” about the #FederalReserve. It is owned by 12 member banks spread across the US, who have “shares” in it. The only part of the federal reserve that is controlled by Uncle Sam is when the president appoints its Chairman. As far as its actions & monetary policy, the Fed is not accountable to any branch of the federal government.

Instead they have their own, but is not accountable to the OIG. Even the CIA, the greatest & most clandestine intelligence agency in the world, has an inspector general assigned & appointed by the president. Americans are more likely to understand what goes on in the CIA than the Federal Reserve, because the Fed isn’t accountable to anyone.

The constitution clearly states under Article I, Section 8, Clause 5:

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 . . . ] 𝐓𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐟, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐢𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬; . . .

With that being said, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 conflicts with the US Constitution. Only Uncle Sam, per the constitution & fully accountable to the American people, should be the ones responsible for the issuance & management of currency & the monetary system of the nation as a whole. It should not be handled by small elite factions behind closed doors (private banks), who are not accountable to anyone but themselves.

Even the founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, warned of the dangers of the idea of a central bank (I.e. the Fed)

Benjamin Franklin mentioned the colonies inability to get power to issue their own money out of the hands of George III & international bankers was the 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 for the Revolutionary War. (Full quote below in the attached images)

#JFK issued a United States Note (executive order 11110) that was to be backed in full by gold, debt free & to be issued by the Treasury, not the Fed.

After his assassination, all notes were removed from circulation🤔🧐. All that was left was the coins (issued by the US mint), which make up less than 1/1000th of the overall currency in circulation & the Federal Reserve Notes (make up the majority of currency)

DEVELOPING: 🇫🇷 France just declared war on savers.

A new bill would hit “unproductive wealth” including Bitcoin, art, homes, jewelry with a 1% annual tax, even if you don’t sell.

During Covid I was fighting with some guy on spaces and he said,

“we get it, you think your freedom is more important than other people’s lives” as if that was some sort of a put down.

I responded “Not only is it more important than other people’s lives… it’s also more important than my own life”

He was confused by that.

He could easily file me away as selfish, but not as someone willing to die for others freedom.

He considered himself the selfless one.

And tbh his moral instincts of reducing harms and preserving life were noble.

But to preserve freedom at the cost of life is the higher moral ground, because a life without liberty has no purpose.

So I told him “give me liberty or give me death and if you won’t do either at least don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re the moral one here”

Then they kicked me from the space.

I think about that interaction a lot.

Sorry, I don't use Primal much apart from posting podcasts but I thought I would share some of the work we are doing here trying to fix Bedford.

Beyond starting a football club and owning local businesses, I have become active in trying to fix the endless issues in the town.

We have economic issues, in that businesses are under pressure from the economic climate as well as growing government red tape. This is being compounded by a massive rise in anti-social behaviour. We have a plague of addiction issues, with large numbers of crackheads, alcoholics and shoplifters in the town. We have a rise in crime, including assaults on women.

This is not a good situation.

Two months ago I threatened the police, that if they did not fix the issue then I will. During August I am funding a private security initiative in the town, where 10 security guards will be deployed across the town as scarecrows, providing a security blanket for residents and businesses.

We have met with the local police and our activity will be coordinated with them. We are also trying to work with the local council too. I am considering establishing a shadow council in the town, outside of party politics, driving civic action.

Alongside the private security, we are building teams for cleaning, events and marketing to drive economic activity in the town.

I just thought I would share this. Bitcoin world has become a little stale to me, it is time to get out there and do things. The UK is pretty fucked at the moment so it is fight or flight time.

Is private security allowed to carry firearms in the UK?

Canadian Election day with lots at stake.

A continued slide into socialism, big government, and coercion/control or a break towards free markets, smaller government and individual rights and freedoms.

Crossing my fingers!

And PS - Pierre understands #bitcoin's role in the change, even if he can’t say publicly right now.

Nothing stopped this train 🚂

You’re 100% correct

Being a millionaire takes on average 7-10 years and is

something anyone can do.

You just have to want it.

inb4 a US president gives us a purge night via presidential pardon.
