They're going to try to pass these types of rules at levels where we can't even vote them out. (UN/WHO) The only proper response will be overwhelming rejection of the system -- which is why they want so many people dependent on that system.
Fight Fight Fight. “Give me Liberty or give me death.” They did it in 1776. Let’s get going now! Where is our George Washington, Patrick Henry of today? Find them now.
Action instead of chatter. We need leaders with brains
If I worked in retail, I would just tell people to take what they needed and don't worry about paying for it. Who cares at this point since the corporations are in on it.
Yep well that would only work in a small business environment as all the corporates have AI cameras. So not a good idea at all if you're looking to fuck the corporate sector over.
Bitcoin is purchased on the same exchanges as (other) potential CBDCs and blockchain is not there for privacy, it's there for proof of contract. BTC is no better than any other crypto coin.
Uhm... the point of Bitcoin is that you don't use centralized exchanges (CEX). Bitcoin is an open source peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic cash system that's completely decentralized, with no central server, trusted authorities or middle men - that's the whole point of Bitcoin and the Bitcoin blockchain.
The fact that centralized exchanges allow trading of Bitcoin is that there is demand for such a service, and hence the centralized exchanges are in it for their own piece of the action. But not only do you have no obligation to use them, you just shouldn't!
There are many P2P crypto platforms that are decentralized and accessible and have no intermediaries for allowing users to trade directly. Here's a list of P2P platforms; N.B.: as always, do your own due diligence:
Those P2P platforms are expensive. And if you're in the real world living from paycheck to paycheck then the rather large %s that they take (outfits like Binance & Coinbase are often cheaper) are a killer for adoption of shitcoins no matter what their moniker is.
I should add that the p2p exchanges the rate is not set by the exchange but by the person offering to exchange at a certain rate. And normally it's quite a large range. So buying USDT with AUD yesterday I was offered anything from mabye 1.61 (passable) to almost 1.9 (completely unacceptable). The current rate of USD to AUD (the USDT coin is tethered to the USD) is about 1.56 or so.
Yes, that will stop them. Your little business on the side that you are trying to promote here. Carry yourself home and stay there, with all your T-shirts.
Pray every day for a miracle and call representatives daily. Remind them that they won’t be safe either. They are just being used. All their families will become slaves, too....
People still could use cash outside the system to pay for goods and services. Most of the money I spend is within my community. I stay away from the corporations as much as possible. I go to the mom and pop shops, I purchase real beef, dairy, produce, and more from my friends and neighbors. They prefer cash and will even give you discounts if you pay in cash. We also grow our own food and make a lot of the items we need. Many of them know and they don't want to have anything to do with it. Bartering goods and services will always beat the system too. There are many ways to work around it. Gold and silver would also be an option.
Great advice! I already did this. Three years ago, actually. That's when I stopped earning taxable income so I don't need to pay income tax.
I'm by all conventional measures poor: I "own" no property - but then again, no-one does, because every government on the planet is bankrupt. The government supposedly underwrites all ownership of assets claimed by citizens, but the government cannot stop its secured creditors from seizing all the assets in the nation - not just all public, but ALSO all private assets! - with no judicial review being necessary, as legal certainty was previously established that the secured creditors have absolute power to take all assets in the event of the bankruptcy of the government!
True. Assets are property of whomsoever is able to retain ownership. This implies security: the owner having the ability to secure ownership, and security can be realized through obscurity.
Withdraw from the WHO, WEF, NATO and UN Now. Just like Trump did. Email and call your representatives and all representatives. Demand EXIT the WEF, WHO and UN .... urgent. We must speak out. RISE UP people and do something rather than just talking about it.
Obama/Biden have sold us out to the WEF and Chinese. If you don’t rise up, you are choosing slavery. We need to rise up like the Palestinian supporters are doing now. Make a BIG ruckus and not sit back and get destroyed. It’s the future of America and the World. Satan is running toward us fast.
I love Trump. Trump loves America! Trump had fabulous policies. Trump took us out of the WHO. Don’t deny it. Trump is risking everything for this country. No socialism allowed in America. NEVER.
Trump gave us Operation Warp Speed and his "beautiful vaccine."
Yes, I know that was simply a cover for what was really going on - the injectables were in development by the DOD and Baric long before they gave us COVID-19 - and OWS was just a pantomime to spoof the creation of a vaccine.
I really don't understand the Trump cult or Trump tards. These people don't understand the system props up the hero when we need one. It's literally written in their playbook. They don't want to see these types of videos. They just dismiss it when Trump is literally surrounded by all of these people. Many in the Trump cult see the vaccine for what it is but can't get others to see it. They're frustrated because they can't get through to them. And we're here trying to get them to see Trump for who he really and they can't see it. I've seen them make up all types of excuses for him. It's insanity. It's fascinating. Did you see the Trump rally in FL yesterday? It was a damn sea of people. Sheep being led to the slaughter.
Incisive comment. I should have read further down to your comment before I inadvertently repeated your own message about Trump and OWS and his "beautiful vaccine."
Politicians don’t represent the will of the people. All the parties are bought off by the western oligarchs which want to weed off the “useless eaters” and then enslave the remaining population. They want to use a type of brainwashing so the enslavement looks like it’s for the good of the world. One such method are wars for control and hoaxes like climate change and Covid plandemics.
Unfortunately I don’t think there are enough good men to stop this takeover. God is the only hope.
I agree, but we must call on God to help us try. We can not just sit here with no fight. Maybe we are living out Revelation. My husband says not, but it looks it to me. I’d choose death any day rather then this evil. I love freedom too much.
If it does, just remember God is in charge. I pray it doesn’t, too. We must all repent and call out to God for help. We are in serious trouble with Satan leading these evil people. We can’t do it without God.
The more we engage with the digital world in any form, the closer we come to being permanently enslaved by it. Older people might resist because they remember the olden days. But the younger crowd only knows digital jail and will put up little resistance. Eventually the oldsters will die off and all that remains are those who have been imprisoned early on in a digital cage and who have never known anything else.
There will always be self serving sociopaths out there who lust for control of everyone and everything, that is their sickness. They are an affliction upon human society.
Yeah, but what we're facing is not a simple case of psychological pathology as you describe, even though what you're saying is correct.
All governments [deliberately, under instructions of the financier oligarchs who are the bosses of all governments] lost control of finance and balancing of the books and have since been deliberately running up the deficit in order to deepen the bankruptcy. Politicians are merely actors playing the role of officiating in the political fraud that imposed lockdown restrictions in order to insulate the real economy from the $12 trillion of quantitative easing created to bail out the collapsing financial sector between September 2019 and April 2022. All governments are so morbidly bankrupt, the politicians’ primary role has become one of readying the ground for the stakeholder model of capitalism promoted by the World Economic Forum and implemented by its corporate partners under the umbrella of "sustainable development goals" designed to privatize national assets, natural resources and, ultimately the existing system of governance in the West. And since the government ostensibly underwrites all existing private ownership of assets by the citizens of the nation, in being so irredeemably bankrupt, all assets - throughout the entire world! - will be seized by certain secured creditors, who are key entities from among the same group of stakeholders, with no judicial review being necessary. Legal certainty was previously established that the secured creditors should have absolute power to take all assets in the event of the bankruptcy of the government. That is why the financier oligarchs - who may indeed be sociopaths, I have no argument with this possibility - being the secured creditors that stand to take everything are also so keen to control us. If/when the populations wake up to this, that they really do own nothing, that everything of economic value they ever did or made has been stolen from them, the intensity of their anger might bring about the overthrow of the financier oligarchs. To mitigate the threat of their own downfall, the financier oligarchs will do anything to keep their ill-gotten gains, including murdering the majority of the human population (‘eugenics’), and enslaving the survivors of the mass execution by ubiquitous biosurveillance and CBDCs.
Being a small business owner, we cannot just start getting our $30-$50k payments in small, unmarked bills? Cannot stop paying our home mortgage & utilities. Just pulling all your assets out, IS NOT a logical or workable solution. Any other ideas?
I mean private assets....not business capital. Things like retirement funds. Prepare to lose the business too...a digital ID will be required to own one.
You don't understand. You'll have to decide to be part of the system or live outside of it. You're business will be gone, your house will be gone. Any debt you have will be used against you. You want a logical workable solution start growing your own food and creating your own energy. Because if you can't supply it yourself they aren't going to give it to you unless you get your digital ID and with that... Your most recent dose of injections.
The people are resisting, the experts and law on their side, yet they still push through. Just get ready and prepared and don't participate in their system. They can't 'legalize' slavery. #JustSayNo
What is ultimately to result from the levying of the negative interest rate is a factor that is still future in its effect, but is the beginning of it, which is now being prepared under false pretences and has been devised by elements who strive for absolute control of the individual human being.
This is still being kept secret for the time being, but the whole thing is to lead in future to means of payment only retaining their value on an electronic basis and to all cash becoming null and void.
The levying of negative interest therefore corresponds to a feint, which is planned in the background as a purpose to make the people in general so dependent on the state and to exploit them in such a way that no actual freedom is possible any more with regard to a personal handing out of means of payment, but everything is to be controlled down to the last detail of the purpose of use.
In this way, however, total control of the peoples and thus of the individual human being is ultimately striven for, whereby the worst fears of those who anticipate future evil are fulfilled if the peoples do not counteract what is secretly striven for and already secretly accomplished by elements who are endeavouring to bring earthly humanity under slavish and total control.
"Those who behave as slave owners should be eliminated, don't you all agree?"
I wholeheartedly agree! Elimination from the human gene pool.
I read elsewhere, "A recitation of the Bill of Rights — set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and the like (all sanctioned by Congress, the White House, and the courts) — would understandably sound more like a eulogy to freedoms lost than an affirmation of rights we truly possess."
In order for us to get to the slave owners, we need to go against red flag gun laws, militarized police, SWAT team raids, and government agencies armed to the teeth with military weapons better suited to the battlefield. Let's not forget the military as well. The military is not so much armed with weapons of immeasurable destruction to intimidate or unleash against the Chinese as it is to vanquish the vastly more multitudinous people should the people ever revolt. Neither the U.S. government, nor NATO member state governments nor even the Chinese, nor the Russian government see any other government as a threat - they only pretend to and use that threat as a pretext for developing and arming their militaries with more and greater power weapons. All governments have militaries and militarized police forces to deal with the same threat all governments face: the threat of a violent citizen's revolt.
"We are not owned! We are independent humans living in cooperative societies."
I like your comment for its sunny idealism, its ebullient aspiration.
But the reality is that we are owned, and we are slaves and have been even well before the BIS "debt as wealth" financial system built in the aftermath of WW2, the financial system in which all the money is the only money that anyone is allowed to accept: the complete fiction that is the "expression of a balance sheet liability" of a bank which if taken all the way up, is the Bank for International Settlements. All the instruments that currently function as money are forms of credit, that is, they are obligations or "credits on a banker," or as the Bank of England says, "money in the modern economy is just a special form of IOU." Once this was established - and state-enforced by pain of death - and then by appealing to human pettiness, vanity, and stupidity by dangling amounts of that money at them or threatening its removal from them, like trained circus animals, the people have danced for the bankers whatever gavotte, or war, or COVID-19 restriction was ordered of them in order that the money kept being thrown at them so that the people could keep getting their treats.
China and Russia may have the gold and the parallel "equity as wealth" system standing by, but the genie is out of the bottle. Heavy-handed state control of the people is the order of the day, and as long as the people expect the state/government to exist and to govern, this is how it will be.

Wellstone had watermelon size cajones!
i wonder if we can just fail to recognize them? Since they are NGO’s pushing these ?
That's my plan. The black market is way more fun, anyway.

When someone gets hungry or cold enough they will do what they need to.
Sure, but this doesn't seem that. All I'm suggesting is that not to do the work of corporates by ridding them of their competition.
Organized crime vs. legalized crime.
Yes you can.
Yes.
Won’t work..... they’ll need to shut the entire Country down!
Haha
Get ready
Gold?
Silver coins?
Precious anything!
Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is purchased on the same exchanges as (other) potential CBDCs and blockchain is not there for privacy, it's there for proof of contract. BTC is no better than any other crypto coin.
It’s also what’s driving the problem. They have to stop all crypto/btc/cbdc/data brokers/surveillance. Otherwise, this will all keep going.
"Bitcoin is purchased on the same exchanges..."
Uhm... the point of Bitcoin is that you don't use centralized exchanges (CEX).

The first way to resist is to remove ALL your assets from the system.
Ha! I HAVE no assets! Take that, WEFers!
You and I as well! And strangely it's a freedom I've never before known.
Sell everything, crush any debt and work to own hard assets.
Sell your car, get a bicycle. Why? If you need to pay registration, and licensing, and tax to own anything, YOU DON'T OWN IT! You're renting it.
They will not let you use cash or anything but their digital currency
People still could use cash outside the system to pay for goods and services. Most of the money I spend is within my community. I stay away from the corporations as much as possible.
