This is so well documented and not a single western news agency reports the truth. Simply stunning.
Do some homework - Ukraine has been the corruption capital of the WORLD since WW2. The corruption goes back even further.
A good start is Whitney Webbs book, "One Nation Under Blackmail" - it's very deep but when you follow the rabbit holes as deep as she does you end up with links to Ukraine dating WAY back.
This is silly.
You definitely don't NEED a hardware wallet.
Matter of fact, you can memorize your keys/words and go ANYWHERE in the world and access your #Bitcoin from ANY wallet.
BUT - a good hardware air gapped wallet with OPEN SOURCE software is a good solution to storing your Bitcoin.
There are plenty of options. And using a computer with NON-open source software of ANY KIND is not the solution.
I don't thnk we need central Gov on a hard money standard - #Bitcoin. The ONLY reason for Central Gov on fiat is to defend the country, and fiat is the reason for having to defend the country (due to currency wars which steal resources)!
BUT - if we had to vote on EVERY increase in spending and new program how many would there be? Individuals. Verified paper ballots.
No new Federal Laws or Taxes without a 60% approval of votes (and that's 60% of ALL citizens, not just those that show up).
Remove all 180-,000-300,000 Federal rules laws now (no one actually knows how many there are it's so bad). Start over. I bet we would have little/no Federal laws in a REAL democracy.
You are trying way to hard to fit violence into your narrative.
The POWER of laws leading up to violence have done just as much or I would say MORE DAMAGE than the war itself. The war/violence is the relief valve for what has ALREADY happened.
It's not tyranny if most all agree AND there are options.
Small groups generally accept a set of rules to work together. It's a good thing.
The problem comes in when the 'organization' gets too big and imposes its will on those that do not agree.
And w/an HOA you can move a mile down the road and have another option.
The 'power' to organize IS FREEDOM and EQUALITY.
Now - if another HOA comes and requires YOUR HOA to follow THEIR RULES - that would be tyranny. That's what the Federal Government has been doing with retirement, healthcare, police, housing, etc... for the last 100 years.
To the point that IRS has 10,000 pages of rules and Federal Laws dwarf local law.
I have a house in an HOA. I actually support HOA's over city Government. They are great for managing local problems (campers/boats in drives, lawn care, etc...).
And if you don't like the HOA rules, you can always move to a location that allows campers in the yard. Small groups doing what they want - it's great.
Local Governments don't go to war with the city next to them.
You need people to group together to accomplish efficiency gains for people - we are far more productive together.
I'm also fine if there are local laws - I can move to the city across the state, or to another state rather easily.
Moving nations is pretty tough.
I think you going to the extreme to suggest we want no human organization. Central Government is the problem.
This is all being worked out now - decentralization is happening - just a matter of time. Laws/rules serve the rulers - always have, always will.
We differ here too.
Violence is the LEAST effective form of power - which is why it's always a last resort.
Government is the most effective way, currently, to get people to do what you want them to do - more specifically money and power.
Violence is the least effective because it destroys 'resources' on BOTH sides of the battle/war. The ONLY reason someone uses violence is they believe the INCREASE in power/resources will be greater at the end of the war than the beginning.
If you truly want no man to be a slave to another, you need to REDUCE the power of the central authority (laws, power, money) or it will ALWAYS rise up against you and control you. As you point out that's what happened in the USA. But it all started with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and was solidified in the 1930s, and then sealed in 1971 when the Gold standard was 'temporary' suspended.
But both our views are valid - this is not easy to figure out because we have never really had freedom before other than brief moments in time. We have become more free as humans over time and we control our OWN property.
Where we differ is you believe a central authority or 'law' creates equality.
I don't believe that comes from other humans. If it does, as you imply, there will never be equality.
If my WORK/ENERGY is secure and my property stored in time indefinitely, no one can control me. And I have no advantage to control others. This reduces the need for "Acts" or "Laws" to control people/emotions/outcomes.
For example, AIPAC registering as a foreign agent will do nothing to fix the underlying problem - it's just another law/process stacked on a bad system.
Government power decreases significantly w/o ability to create/print money.
People still have to THINK and push back.
But the reality is, ALL war was 'printed' - since the invention of clipping coins.
Welfare is a modern day (last several hundred years) human event. Nearly all humans can add value to other humans w/removal of the welfare state. This does not happen overnight, it can take generations of pain (created by generational welfare).
Also, hard money based on work/energy stored in time gives a LOT of power to the people. So while Government is being stripped of their power, the individual is gaining incredible power. This is happening now - but it's a slow process most don't see.
Furthermore, with real money, those that get rich have to on continue to produce REAL value for others/society or they will lose their power.
The Government 'powers' that promise to protect you from the elites with more taxes and rules/laws historically have 100% benefited - you guessed it - the rich/elites (not the poor). Yet the poor being uneducated and not willing to read fall for it generation after generation.
In the centrally controlled USA economy we have today (along with most of the world), the rich just get richer w/o much/any added value. The Elites understand history - they know how well this works.
This is all very complex. Start with the book, "The Sovereign Individual" which will/should lead you to another dozen books - be sure to read 10+ books on the topic so it really sets in.
Iowa has no way to make money besides stealing from people that pass through. They have not grown as a state for 100 years. Same 3 million poeple! lol
It pisses me off all the speeding cameras. They put them at ALL the borders. I-80 crossing the Mississippi? Yep. Traveling south on 218 - THREE of them when you cross the boarder - TRIPPLE dip you!
Go though any city - gotcha at least 2-3 times. It's your TAX to come to the great state of IA! rolol
(I live here - so I speed when I'm not under a camera - still pisses me off)
Sunny and 75 incoming! https://youtu.be/hZwVvwp8i-M?si=JYr7BrO3D_QNrArw
But the 'win' has to provide greater benefit to the attacker than the losses.
What I mean is there must be a benefit in money/power/property when you attack someone or kill them.
Also, the increase in productivity gives the defender an upper hand - requiring more resources by the attacker to gain 'something' of value (power/property/etc...).
The ONLY reason we have ever had current warfare is due to fiat currency. EVERY war the last 1000 years has been fought with fiat (printed) money. The loser of EVERY war experienced hyperinflation (their money failed first). There are no exceptions. America did not win WW2, Germany printed themselves into oblivion and could not put fuel in their tanks - so they lost. The solution to WAR is hard money.
Could give 50 examples of technology advances fixing war.
I get your point, but there are ZERO historical examples of your situation. Study the history of gunpowder. The most powerful empore BY FAR at the time rejected gunpowder to build more swords and shields. The opposing MUCH smaller country embraced gunpowder and in a few short years wiped out the massive empire.
You can also use cheap energy to increase productivity which helps millions, or billions of people. This is also 'fighting' for what you believe in but w/o the warheads.
Actually, the solution is to fix the money. As long as government can print money at the expense of the population, there is no possible way we can ever win. #Bitcoin
Why everyone is not using strike.me is beyond my comprehension.
Generally cheaper to buy and free to move to cold storage.
I was just talking to primary - told me to 'be careful' online, and verify their credentials because many times they are not 'certified/educated' in the material they are discussing.
Here we go again - follow the system/standards and all will be okay. I can't STAND medical establishment - SO BAD.
Also told me to quit eating egg yolks - the most nutrition dense food on the planet (correct me if I'm wrong here). I'm NOT a doctor! lol
I eat a LOT of eggs. GREAT video covering a study on having TOO LOW Cholesterol! (yes, you read that right) https://youtu.be/4nm-xIq7I2Q?si=ermSAVL6mqhC4aeV
Kodak has a strong interest in digital cameras, they invented them, and then abandon them.
BlockBuster had a strong interest in video - and the streaming business.
But - both went bankrupt. The 'establishment' rarely sees what's coming.
We shall see what the big tech firms you suggest do but it's very rare for them to actually change.
Microsoft did adapt to Windows (invented by Apple/Macintosh) but it's ALWAYS been a poor implementation. Sad actually.
