US Nickels are real cupronickel (and already worth over 5c)

Talking fast like that is called "spreading" and it's abusing a quirk of the debate rules - a point that someone doesn't respond to is considered to be conceded. So if they can pack in so many arguments that the opposition can't respond to them all, there's a good chance they win by default.

The bigger problem is "critique" or "K" in which one side argues that the other should lose not because they've made a less convincing argument, but because they have somehow done or said something taboo (eg by discussing the assigned topic at all).

"The deep state is beyond the Constitution. It is separate from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government that we all learned about in grade school.

"The deep state has no restrictions on its extra-constitutional actions, no separation of powers, no checks and balances, no transparency or open accounting for its egregious and invasive behavior.

"Because of its clandestine nature – and covert linkages to organized crime syndicates worldwide – ruthless assassinations, regime change, drug trafficking, extortion and racketeering, money laundering, cyber-crime, and corruption are not aberrations or breakdowns of the deep state, but are absolutely endemic to it.

"In other words, we live in a plutocratic β€œBanana Republic.” We no longer live in a democratic republic. We are no longer governed by Congress or the President or the Courts, but by a corporate, financial, and military Elite that write the laws to suit themselves. It is the cloistered class of professional managerial credentialed elites of the administrative regulatory bureaucracy and covert intelligence agencies who rule us all.

"The accelerated deterioration of our limited constitutional decentralized republic established by the Framers into a fascist (corporate socialist) welfare-warfare state must be reversed.

"The suicidal and destructive policy of having American taxpayers subsidize the military-industrial complex so a privileged amoral elite can gain its β€œblood money,” therefore demanding ever-growing U.S military outlays, defense contracts, and foreign credit expansion must end.

"Administration after administration, the deep state denizens of this covert netherworld have continued their machinations and black magic.

"The deep state is not monolithic or homogeneous but is composed of many seemingly disparate elements or competing factions united by their systemic base criminality under the phony rubric of β€œnational security.”

"Administrations change, but the deep state endures."

"The accelerated deterioration of our limited constitutional decentralized republic established by the Framers into a fascist (corporate socialist) welfare-warfare state must be reversed."

Good luck with that. Once you accept that State officials can legitimately impose arbitrary rules which bind the people and can legitimately steal arbitrary amounts of the peoples' income or wealth, then the State officials effectively own the people in a system of mass public slavery. There are no more limits.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons πŸ”«

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar πŸ‘‡

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

They declared TETHER as the official currency πŸ…

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% πŸ“‰

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

JStark would be proud.

In recent months, there have been reports of FGC9s in use in Myanmar.

FGC9 is one of the most popular models of self-made firearms.

FGC = Fuck Gun Control

No one conquers a city with FGC9s.

But it is certainly possible to...

... defend a mountain pass or a village surrounded by forest with them.

Moreover, the resistance has mastered the art of producing and piloting homemade patrol drones.

Check it out πŸ‘‡

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

But in March of this year, Beijing lost its patience.

Hold on to this:

😳 44,000 CHINESE were in Myanmar as "slaves"...

...and they were finally discovered and "returned."

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

This is a scam center on the border with Thailand, packed with Chinese workers, scamming people worldwide πŸ‘‡

Think about this πŸ‘‡

You’ve probably been targeted by some online profile trying to scam you, operated by one of the THOUSANDS of trafficked Chinese people working in centers like this.

What year are we living in, folks?! 😳

The fight against tyranny still seems far from over. But the end appears to have already begun.

The balance of power is shifting.
