In the beginning, back before America was formed, in the British colonies there were the Tories (Loyalists) and the Patriots. Tories wanted to stay with Britain because of strength of their navy and the protection they offered, but the Patriots wanted independence. The Patriots obviously won back then. It was security vs freedom, wasn't it?
Now, the corporations (and the legacy agencies/deep state) have totally subverted our two main parties. They do not work for the people any more.
So we now have populists on the left and the right, both opposed to the establishment (which contain the left and right). I think that shows up pretty well on this political test:
https://www.politicalcompass.org/ The Political Compass
A typology of political opinions plotted on 2 dimensions: economic and social.
I would equate the establishment to authoritarian, and the populist to libertarian. The legacy news and all the massive corporations, big tech, big ag, big pharma, big oil, are all part of the authoritarian side. Seems one sided doesn't it?
But the masses are libertarian. Even some super progressive people I know living in CA, while scoring solidly left, were very libertarian.
So its not left vs right, black vs white, liberal vs conservative as the powers that shouldn't be would have you think. Its up vs down, establishment vs the people, the big guys vs the little guys. And they are using weapons grade persuasion to coerce people not fully aware to parrot the establishment narrative.
They are using tools that create fear to get people to want more security instead of liberty. Almost everything you see going on can be fit into this frame... terrorism, nutrition, racism, communism, fascism, the pandemic, climate change.... all woven with a ton of misinformation using tools of the persuasion trade.
We counter their narrative with our own, of up vs down. We counter by seeing how we are problem solvers, not victims. We counter in the court of public opinion with the knowledge that 80% plus are on the people's side. Yes we will always find pockets of fear, and I saw some recently in our WhatsApp group. My way through that was... "Whaddaya gonna do bout it?" We are solution finders, and long may that continue.
Trying out something new, a video message.
Also to back this up is a good article from Glen Greenwald about how our capacity to reason diminishes during the highly charged climate surrounding a war and war propaganda from BOTH sides.

Michael Saylor shared something recently that may have gone unnoticed by most.... he said it in an interview with Tom Bilyeu recently.... here is the clip:

MICHAEL SAYLOR: The first nation to print their own currency to buy Bitcoin wins.
Paul from invest answers then also put together the fact that MSTR is applying to issue more stock to buy more BTC.... is that the same thing? Basically, people will be using fiat to buy stock that will be used to purchase BTC. But the BTC supply is limited.... so get your MSTR (or your BTC) soon! (NOT financial advice....)
But this is not what Satoshi's original 2008 whitepaper (https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper) had in mind when it developed Bitcoin, it was suppose to be a peer to peer cashless transaction system, right?
Roger Ver thinks so, and wrote a book about it called Hijacking Bitcoin. This video is a summary of that book ...
Why Doug Casey and Anton Wahlman are wrong about the upcoming election.
Let start by reading and listening to what they have to say:
https://antonwahlman.substack.com/p/america-is-now-a-socialist-country
After reading the blog post on Hersey and Liberty, and as we see in the video from Doug Casey on why they think America is doomed to vote in "Commie-La", I think they have missed the bigger picture on the American electorate and what is driving the upcoming election.
Going through history, the three things that are the biggest motivations for the motivation to "Throw the bums out" are;
1. It's the Economy, stupid
2. How safe am I now?
3. Foreign Wars
Maybe the 2nd and 3rd reasons are intertwined, but this is the main three. And Commie-La, as much as she may try to run against the current administration, people know, she is part of the machine in power. With all three of these big picture items against her, the chances she pulls this off are extremely low.
Doug and Anton are reacting to a ...
I liked this article on Substack, and of particular interest is the video from Richard Nixon. Oh if we could only go back and know then what we know now.
