Education undermines governments control mechanisms they have in place to control your mind and keep you on the fiat plantation. It starts with the fiat education system. The goal is not to create highly educated citizens who are able to think for themselves and maintain our form of self-government.
The unspoken goal of education, as the late great George Carlin said, “They want people who are just smart enough to do the paperwork, and just stupid enough to accept these increasingly shitty jobs with lower pay, longer hours, reduced benefits , the end of overtime and a disappearing pension that disappears the moment you go to collect it.”
If you manage to break free from that control mechanism, you still have to contend with the media machine and how they control the minds of many people around the world. The media is owned by just a few corporate interests that intend to keep the current system afloat.
The media’s power to collaborate and influence was on full display back in 2020 during the height of the pandemic when the world was bombarded with messages about wearing a mask, despite being reversed, “15 days to slow the spread,” despite it wasn’t true, and all the other propaganda that was sent on behalf of governments. It worked. How many people ended up doing exactly what the government said? Billions of people. They could quickly turn this power against Bitcoiners.
“This is extremely dangerous for our democracy”
Who were portrayed as the evil people who wanted to kill Grandma? The people who questioned the narrative about the virus. They were ridiculed by their families and lost their jobs because they did not want to be forced to take a vaccine.
When push comes to shove, the government must crush dissent and opposition to the fiat system in order for it to survive. They must block exits and burn the bridges; it’s that simple. As recently as last year, the president of the ECB, Christine Lagarde, made passing reference to blocking access to “cryptos” in general, but we all know that bitcoin is the real target.
Will public Bitcoiners be targeted in the future?
Honestly, anything is possible. If you’re a significant Bitcoin influencer with thousands of social media followers, you should probably assume you’re on the government’s radar. Governments make plans for this sort of thing all the time. If you are a Bitcoiner, you are automatically a dissident in their book and will be treated as such if the stability of government operations is threatened.
It wouldn’t be that hard for the media to label Bitcoin advocates as domestic terrorists, incite the public and their families to turn against them and throw them in jail. They could use a “crisis” in the sovereign debt market as a pretext to go after Bitcoiners in general.
Bitcoiners should take note of what is happening around the world and plan accordingly. We are in the midst of a financial revolution; it is up to Bitcoiners to ensure that the revolution is a success. Education is the key.
