In The Name Of Freedom

If national currencies are so obviously created out of nothing for the sole benefit of a small elite at the expense of everyone else then why isn't there a more cohesive opposition to this system?

Why isn't there more celebrities, gurus, activists, so called intellectuals or scientists joining forces, relentlessly exposing and opposition this deception day in and day out?

The Risks Of Opposing The Ruling Elite

Such a group as former US President Woodrow Wilson described could have the power to keep people from publicly opposing the current ruling elite from fear of reprisal whatever those reprisal might be.

There are many public figures who are convinced such groups exist and who have given public testimonies of having been threaten by these groups or people to the point of having to stop publicly opposing them.

This has happened to people living in so called democratic countries.

The Mighty Power Of Money Creation

"In essence, the ex nihilo money creation practiced by the private banks is identical -- I do not hesitate to say this because it is important that people understand what is at stake here -- to the manufacture of currency by counterfeiters, who are justly punished by law. In practice both lead to the same result. The only difference is that those who benefit are not the same." - Maurice Allais, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics [Wikiquote]

Before going further into the subject of repression by tyrannical shadowy organizations, I want to clarify some aspects of money creation.

First of all, money creation out of nothing is not even something secret. Fractional reserve banking and quantitive easing are two such schemes among others schemes, all of which consist of simply adding money to the balance sheet of someone or some companies, in other words adding money to their bank account, money created out of nothing obviously playing a very fundamental role in the way society is shaped.

Post #2 goes into much more details about money creation and provide good resources to investigate money creation.

The Money Masters

Whenever we acquire some money, it means somewhere someone is getting less and in our world this result in many people dying and many more living in horrible condition.

The whole system of money creation and everything attached to it are ridiculously deceiving and those running it are artificially engineering hardship of unparalleled scale. Thanks to great minds and cryptocurrencies radically fairer systems are at hand.

Now back to those all powerful organizations US President Woodrow and many others described.

I plan on doing posts on history and cover some of what it can teach us about the existence of such organizations but in this post I just want to list a couple public figures that have talked about, against or even testified about being coerced by such organizations.

The testimonies below aren't necessarily describing the exact kind of organization President Woodrow has described yet they portray a diametrically opposite reality to the one the ruling elite's propaganda machine has been spuing since it exists, a very deceiving elite as some of these quotes demonstrate.

Katt Williams Is Against The Illuminati

One of the best example of such testimony is one I've already mentioned in one of my previous post comes from Katt Williams.

"Some of us are against the Illuminati and we are against the Illuminati at our own detriment. When people are against the Illuminati, then, they get punched in the face all the time, the press hates them and nobody likes them. End quote... Exactly, Dave Chappelle has never a been part of the Illuminati. They don't want him or me or people like us. But now it's not necessary for us to stir up their hornets nest unless we intend to get stung a million times. I didn't understand that. They had to sting me a million times. I'm still not going to join them but I respect them a little more." - Katt Williams [Source]

Prodigy Of Mobb Deep: The Whole Planet Is Being Lied To

"The exact moment when I realize the entire planet was being lied to and was put upon a spell to keep us unaware was back in 1996." Prodigy

Adam Weishaupt Fonder Of The Bavarian Illuminati

"Illuminati, historically, the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on 1 May 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them." [Wikipedia]

"Do you realize sufficiently what it means to rule—to rule in a secret society? Not only over the lesser or more important of the populace, but over the best of men, over men of all ranks, nations, and religions, to rule without external force, to unite them indissolubly, to breathe one spirit and soul into them, men distributed over all parts of the world?" - Adam Weishaupt [Wikiquote]

N.O.R.E.

N.O.R.E. recounts he was offered "to walk through a door", by what he called big boys, where there's no coming back, where only certain people aware of certain thing are asked to go through. He has gone into more depth about this in this other interview.

"There is a certain level that you get at, that you can't go no futher, unless you are aware of certain things and I'll leave it at that... There's a door that you have to walk and it's on you to walk through that door and once you walk through that door there is no coming back. Now I didn't walk through that door... but I got to that level... There was big boys saying there's another step."

Matt Damon Reading Howard Zinn's Speech

"I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail and the wrong people are out of jail, that the wrong people are in power and the wrong people are out of power, that the wealth is distributed in this country and the world in such a way as not simply to require small reform but to require a drastic reallocation of wealth. I start from the supposition that we don't have to say too much about this because all we have to do is think about the state of the world today and realize that things are all upside down."

" If you don't think, if you just listen to TV and read scholarly things, you actually begin to think that things are not so bad, or that just little things are wrong. But you have to get a little detached, and then come back and look at the world, and you are horrified. So we have to start from that supposition-that things are really topsy-turvy. "

"And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience. As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem.... Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience."

"We recognize this for Nazi Germany. We know that the problem there was obedience, that the people obeyed Hitler. People obeyed; that was wrong. They should have challenged, and they should have resisted; and if we were only there, we would have showed them. Even in Stalin's Russia we can understand that; people are obedient, all these herdlike people."

"Remember those bad old days when people were exploited by feudalism? Everything was terrible in the Middle Ages-but now we have Western civilization, the rule of law. The rule of law has regularized and maximized the injustice that existed before the rule of law, that is what the rule of law has done."

"When in all the nations of the world the rule of law is the darling of the leaders and the plague of the people, we ought to begin to recognize this. We have to transcend these national boundaries in our thinking. Nixon and Brezhnev have much more in common with one another than - we have with Nixon. J. Edgar Hoover has far more in common with the head of the Soviet secret police than he has with us. It's the international dedication to law and order that binds the leaders of all countries in a comradely bond. That's why we are always surprised when they get together -- they smile, they shake hands, they smoke cigars, they really like one another no matter what they say."

"What we are trying to do, I assume, is really to get back to the principles and aims and spirit of the Declaration of Independence. This spirit is resistance to illegitimate authority and to forces that deprive people of their life and liberty and right to pursue happiness, and therefore under these conditions, it urges the right to alter or abolish their current form of government-and the stress had been on abolish. But to establish the principles of the Declaration of Independence, we are going to need to go outside the law, to stop obeying the laws that demand killing or that allocate wealth the way it has been done, or that put people in jail for petty technical offenses and keep other people out of jail for enormous crimes. My hope is that this kind of spirit will take place not just in this country but in other countries because they all need it. People in all countries need the spirit of disobedience to the state, which is not a metaphysical thing but a thing of force and wealth. And we need a kind of declaration of interdependence among people in all countries of the world who are striving for the same thing. " - [Full Speech Transcript]

My views on the US Constitution can be read in the book: "No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority" and resumed in its appendix. The Constitution has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it.

Leon Trotsky

"An army cannot be built without reprisals. Masses of men cannot be led to death unless the army command has the death-penalty in its arsenal. So long as those malicious tailless apes that are so proud of their technical achievements—the animals that we call men—will build armies and wage wars, the command will always be obliged to place the soldiers between the possible death in the front and the inevitable one in the rear. And yet armies are not built on fear." [My Life: An Attempt at an Autobiography By Leon Trotsky]

War Is A Racket

Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940) was a United States Marine Corps major general, the highest rank authorized at that time, and at the time of his death the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. [Wikipedia]

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." [Wikiquote]

Freedom Of Speech In The Face Of Tyranny


Whether or not such a group or a very similar group of people as Woodrow Wilson described does exist, the fact remains national currencies are created out of nothing and added to the balance sheet of some people and companies some of which are known while other are unknown.

Since 1995, the US has more than double its money supply, effectively creating more than 10 trillions dollars. [Link] This money isn't backed by anything, yet those national currencies are use to rob people of their labor, labor which is backed by real work, real human power.

If anyone were to receive a message by an unknown group of people asking them to stop talking about these kinds of topics with credible threats of reprisal if for anyone deciding to continue, I can't see how continuing could ever be considered an option by anyone. Obviously revealing those kinds of message would carry the same threats.

It seems it can be very risky to simply talk about some people and issues even when those issues relate to supposedly so called democratic governments like the US. I don't even see how people can rationally hold the opposite view, where they think public figures can freely speak out about pretty much anything they wish to.

Bill Hicks

"It's just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that's true, it's provable. It's not … I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?" "Er, just what my agenda is." "First we bomb Baghdad." "You got it …" - Bill Hicks

Living Up To Our Fundamental Truth


Living up to our truth requires energy and will power. Today governments are robbing us of our labor/energy and fundamentally manipulating our intentions by creating currencies out of nothing as part of their secretive goals, currencies which in reality should be created to facilitate people's cooperation by keeping a record of people's energy input toward their common goal.

If somebody showed up at our door asking us the price to buy everything we own and upon hearing this price they would take out a printing press and start printing all the money we just asked them, everyone would be asking serious questions and we would all label this person as a dangerous crook of the worst kind, able to rob the whole world if they would only be a little bit better at hiding their printing money scheme.

Yet US governments have been doing exactly this and worst for more than an hundred years now with little to no resistance. There is some sort of resistance but most of this resistance might simply be so heavily controlled and contrived that most of it is going unnoticed by most.

By the way, the amount of money billionaires own is, more often then not, an account of how much they were able to make on the back of their fellow brothers and sisters, rather than an account of how much useful work they've output but also an account of how much they've been able to profit from the unfair system.

Fear influence people to act selfishly and this is a big part of what the current system thrives on. Shaming people into greatness isn't a thing and only instill more disempowerment. We should instead look into inspiring one another toward living more righteous and empowering life.

Stand up for your truth! Nobody else can do it better!

Examples Of Governments Controlling The Opposition

COINTELPRO

"COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations." [Wikipedia]

Undercover officer spied on green activists

"A police officer who for seven years lived deep undercover at the heart of the environmental protest movement, travelling to 22 countries gleaning information and playing a frontline role in some of the most high-profile confrontations, has quit the Met, telling his friends that what he did was wrong." [Link]

Police apologise to women who had relationships with undercover officers

"The settlement is a significant moment in a controversy that has enveloped police since late 2010 when Mark Kennedy, the undercover spy who infiltrated environmental groups for seven years, was unmasked by activists."

" Another undercover officer, Bob Lambert, had relationships with four women while pretending to be an animal rights and environmental activist for four years in the 1980s. "

"Helen Steel, an environmental campaigner who was one of the two defendants in the McLibel legal action against restaurant chain McDonald’s, had a two-year relationship between 1990 and 1992 with John Dines, who spied on leftwing groups. She said : “I am glad the Metropolitan police have finally admitted that these undercover relationships were abusive and indefensible.”"

" The fourth undercover officer named in the legal action was Jim Boyling, who infiltrated environmental and animal rights groups between 1995 and 2000. During that time, he started a relationship with a campaigner and went on to have two children with her. " [Link]

Environmental defenders being killed in record numbers globally

" Two hundred environmental activists, wildlife rangers and indigenous leaders trying to protect their land were killed in 2016, according to the watchdog group Global Witness – more than double the number killed five years ago. "

"And the frequency of killings is only increasing as 2017 ticks by, according to data provided exclusively to the Guardian, with 98 killings identified in the first five months of this year."

"John Knox, UN special rapporteur on human rights and the environment, said: “Human rights are being jettisoned as a culture of impunity is developing."

“There is now an overwhelming incentive to wreck the environment for economic reasons. The people most at risk are people who are already marginalized and excluded from politics and judicial redress, and are dependent on the environment. The countries do not respect the rule of law. Everywhere in the world, defenders are facing threats.

“There is an epidemic now, a culture of impunity, a sense that anyone can kill environmental defenders without repercussions, eliminate anyone who stands in the way. It [comes from] mining, agribusiness, illegal logging and dam building.” [TheGuardian]

USA Admitted Crimes Against Their Citizens

The Plutonium Files

"The experiments began in 1945, when Manhattan Project scientists were preparing to detonate the first atomic bomb. Radiation was known to be dangerous and the experiments were designed to ascertain the detailed effect of radiation on human health. Most of the subjects, Welsome says, were poor, powerless, and sick.[3]"

"From 1945 to 1947, 18 people were injected with plutonium by Manhattan project doctors. Ebb Cade was an unwilling participant in medical experiments that involved injection of 4.7 micrograms of Plutonium on 10 April 1945 at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.[4][5] This experiment was under the supervision of Harold Hodge.[6] Other experiments directed by the United States Atomic Energy Commission continued into the 1970s."

"In Nashville, pregnant women were given radioactive mixtures. In Cincinnati, some 200 patients were irradiated over a period of 15 years. In Chicago, 102 people received injections of strontium and caesium solutions. In Massachusetts, 57 developmentally disabled children were fed oatmeal laced with radioactive tracers in an experiment sponsored by MIT and the Quaker Oats Company. In none of these cases were the subjects informed about the nature of the procedures, and thus could not have provided informed consent." [Wikipedia]

Many Dozens Of Unethical Experiments

Unethical human experimentation in the United States [Wikipedia]

Eugenics in the United States

"Eugenics, the set of beliefs and practices which aims at improving the genetic quality of the human population played a significant role in the history and culture of the United States prior to its involvement in World War II."

" Eugenics was practiced in the United States many years before eugenics programs in Nazi Germany, which were largely inspired by the previous American work. "

...

"In 1907, Indiana passed the first eugenics-based compulsory sterilization law in the world. Thirty U.S. states would soon follow their lead. Although the law was overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1921, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Buck v. Bell, upheld the constitutionality of the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924, allowing for the compulsory sterilization of patients of state mental institutions in 1927."

" Some states sterilized "imbeciles" for much of the 20th century. Although compulsory sterilization is now considered an abuse of human rights, Buck v. Bell was never overturned, and Virginia did not repeal its sterilization law until 1974. The most significant era of eugenic sterilization was between 1907 and 1963, when over 64,000 individuals were forcibly sterilized under eugenic legislation in the United States. Beginning around 1930, there was a steady increase in the percentage of women sterilized, and in a few states only young women were sterilized. From 1930 to the 1960s, sterilizations were performed on many more institutionalized women than men. By 1961, 61 percent of the 62,162 total eugenic sterilizations in the United States were performed on women. A favorable report on the results of sterilization in California, the state with the most sterilizations by far, was published in book form by the biologist Paul Popenoe and was widely cited by the Nazi government as evidence that wide-reaching sterilization programs were feasible and humane." [Wikipedia]

...

Project MKUltra

"Project MKUltra, also called the CIA's mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects, at times illegal, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control." [Wikipedia]

Solitary Confinement In The United States

In its annual “Country Reports on Human Rights Practices,” the U.S. State Department has described solitary confinement as torture. [Wikipedia]

Solitary confinement is a form of imprisonment in which an inmate is isolated from any human contact, often with the exception of members of prison staff, for 22–24 hours a day, with a sentence ranging from days to decades.

Solitary confinement receives severe criticism for having detrimental psychological effects and constituting torture. [Wikipedia]

...

According to a law review article by Elizabeth Vasiliades, America's detention system is far below the basic minimum standards for treatment of prisoners under international law and has caused an international human rights concern: "U.S. solitary confinement practices contravene international treaty law, violate established international norms, and do not represent sound foreign policy."

The documented psychological effects led one judge in a 2001 suit to rule that "Solitary confinement units are virtual incubators of psychoses—seeding illness in otherwise healthy inmates and exacerbating illness in those already suffering from mental infirmities." In fact, as of 2016, there have been thirty-five U.S. Supreme Court cases petitioning solitary confinement.

In October 2011, UN Special Rapporteur on torture Juan E. Méndez, told the General Assembly’s third committee, which deals with social, humanitarian, and cultural affairs, that the practice could amount to torture.

“Considering the severe mental pain or suffering solitary confinement may cause, it can amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment when used as a punishment, during pre-trial detention, indefinitely or for a prolonged period, for persons with mental disabilities or juveniles,” he warned.

In November 2014. the United Nations Committee Against Torture noted that full isolation for 22–23 hours a day in super-maximum security prisons is unacceptable. [Wikipedia]

...

The U.S. has also effectively “insulated itself from any official sanction for international violations by not submitting to the jurisdiction” of committees that enforce the ICCPR or CAT. [Wikipedia]

...

The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture defines as “physical and social isolation of individuals who are confined to their cells for 22 to 24 hours a day,” and to which some 80,000 people are being subjected to every day in the United States. [Source]

The Greatest Challenges Beget The Greatest Rewards


Money is cause for a lot of psychological and physical suffering in this world. I sometime get anxious over money myself. I've even experience financial anxiety this year even though I've probably made more this year than the five previous year combined and my financial expectations are brighter than ever.

Even though those bout of anxiety are totally irrational for me and have lasted for only a couple seconds each, they are connecting me with people who are going through real hardship.

I could have listed a lot more testimonies and could have given a much more detail pictures of society's current elite but the truth is, I'm not here to go face to face against the ruling elite whoever they are nor am I here seeking to punish or shame anyone.

But rather, I'm here to help in the creation of better systems of governance, systems that make the current governments irrelevant.

I here to help, to inspire, to enthuse because that's what feels right.

As for challenges we're faced with individually as well as collectively, I see them as an integral part of making life awesome. If challenges didn't exist then freewill couldn't exist either as every decisions, every act of freewill poses its challenges.

I see life as something to be celebrated at all time even when faced with its greatest challenges.

The Propaganda Apparatus

When You're Ready To Rise Up, You'll Rise Up

All the power you need, is in your hand. Now look around you. Our financial systems have been hijacked by a generation of thieves. While you’re working harder and harder for less and less. The game is being rigged against you. They’re turning all of us into virtual slaves.

Looters, at the heart of our financial system. Our price fixing our most precious resources. Food, water, energy, gold, even the value of money is being siphoned away by high level crooks in a giant mushrooming conspiracy of unstoppable corruption. They’re robbing billions of people of trillions of dollars a year folks.

There is no need for hostility measures. There is no need for financial suffering. No need for poverty. There is no scarcity. We are simply the victims of a robbery of unimaginable proportions.

We have been fed a lie so vast it oppresses all of humanity. The truth is there is more than enough to go around.

...

We have technologies that multiply our efforts 1000 fold. And connect us in ways they never imagined. We are now 100 times richer than in that great hay day in the 50’s.

We are heirs to a great bounty of prosperity. 70 trillion in the U.S. alone over 200,000 dollars for every man woman and child. The only reason we don’t experience this wealth is because it’s being siphoned by away from a corrupt criminal class. They loot through giant corporations raising prices lowering wages stealing the fruits of our productivity. Where once whole families prospered with just one provider. Now both parents work. Delivering 8 times the productivity but struggling to make ends meat. They control the media using hot button social issues to divide us brother against brother. So we fight each other while they loot our sacred institutions.

Don’t give yourselves to these crooks. Who abuse you. And enslave you. Who steal your lives. Tell you what to do. What to think. What to feel. Let us burn these leeches off our backs. Let us replace their corrupt systems with better systems that benefit everyone. Let us reclaim the fruits of our productivity. Let us share our prosperity. We can do this now. We are the creators. And when we come together we have the power to create whatever future we want. "* [Transcript]

...

Wayseers reveal this divine truth by devoting themselves to the birth of some creative or disruptive act expressed through art or philosophy, innovations to shake up industry, revolutions for democracy, coups that topple hypocrisy, movements of solidarity, changes that leave a legacy, rebellions against policy, spirit infused technology, moments of clarity, things that challenge barbarity, watersheds of sincerity, momentous drives for charity

...

This is your calling, Wayseer.
You've found your tribe.

This is my favorite post of yours that I've read.

The West is broke. It's an empire at an end. Everyone knows the last step of an empire's collapse is looting too. That is what we see happening. There's no mystery behind the massive inflation (money supply increase), foreign central banks buying other nation's stock markets, and other tricks to keep the music playing as long as possible.

They are doing it to prolong the inevitable and continue to consolidate their power and wealth as much as possible. This system has already died though. It has already fallen off a cliff so to speak. We are just waiting for impact with the ground. I assure you that the oligarchs will not suffer when it happens either. They will be safe and secure.

I'm a private investigator and I'll tell you a little about how I see it. "It" being the Illuminati and secret society situation. First of all, it isn't just one group. There are many. They are at war with each other, and there are groups of people at the top who are on the side of equality under the law, justice for all, and individual liberty.

It isn't as clear cut as some of these people like to suggest in other words. As usual in life, there's a lot of cloudy gray between the black and white. Many people toss all the groups together however, and that's a mistake. I have no idea what the ultimate purpose is of each group, but I do know many of them are a source of light, goodness, and reason. They are not all controllers or those who seek to control.

Rob Kirby in a recent interview suggested the figure of missing US Dollars is closer to 70 trillion. The world is quickly moving away from the petro dollar system too. For those that do not understand what that is, I will briefly explain it. Other nations had to have US Dollars to do international trade. They no longer need to keep them. Those dollars will come flooding back into the USA soon.

What's going to happen when all those 0's and 1's come back? It isn't going to be pretty for people who depend on the US Dollar to survive day to day. Everyone reading this can do something to prepare though. They can prepare for the day when their fiat currency buys nothing. That day is coming, and it is coming soon. How would you survive day to day without a way to transact with cash or the Internet?

It's an important question to ask yourself. Time is running out too. Don't take too long to figure it out...

It is my belief, that this game will soon come to and end, before the end of Trump's term. Another economic crash, worse than the one before, will occur and the blame will be put all on Trump. Each time a crash happens, the further consolidation of centralized power to a select few entities grow. Rights are stripped away further and further. My concern is how massive this crash may be, and that it may cause chaos in a manner that may be unintended based on what they intend to orchestrate. I fear for regular people who do not see this coming at all.. And for that, I have to do everything in my power right now, to empower those that do.

I agree. The BIS (Bank of International Settlements) is already prepared to jump in with SDR's to "save the world" too. There are going to be a lot of people and nation states without seats when the music stops playing. It's also fading and very faint right.

My wife likes to smirk and say, "Nothing has happened, and nothing will happen." Okay, we'll see who gets the last laugh...

Man this is intense stuff. I am always skeptical to just accept such "crazy" assumptions. I like to believe in the system but with an open mind. Understanding that it is run by people, and people can be greedy and deceitful but also caring and good. Idk, the post by teamsteem and this reply definitely encourage me to continue educating myself with an open mind. And I think that is what society needs the most and it is getting better with technology. Education to the masses with an open mind, not trying to get to a predetermined conclusion. I don't underestimate the power of many free beings. But to be free is a tough word, it entails education and right to information as much as it includes the basic freedoms we are so familiar with like speech and faith.

Also want to point out that @finnian I loved the fifth paragraph "it isn't as clear cut ..." Because I imagine this to be true because it makes sense. I can't stand conspiracy theorists who think they have it all figured out because they have watched a few illuminati videos on youtube, the same way I can't stand a close minded conservative who only accepts news and information from FOX and breitbart. I guess I am just calling for the promotion of decentralizing education and access to it. And allowing humans to truly think freely and discover the world from their view as much as possible, without the added fog like CNN, Fox, CABLE TV, conspiracy theories etc. But then again we love nothing more than a simple conclusion, black and white, good and evil, it is comforting for our sheep mentality many times too much.

Thank you @finnian. I was beginning to question my post so you telling me this is your favorite post of mine is very much welcomed.

I to know people in those upper echelons can't all agree with what is happing and at any opportunity they will probably defect.

I imagine that many of the oligarchs are nervous. How do they know for sure how this is all going to play out? They don't. No one is bullet proof either. We are all walking around in very fragile meat suits. As Gerald Celente likes to say, "When people lose everything, they lose it."

The trillions spent on underground bunkers is worthless once the food supplies run out too.

If you guys are really interested in understanding the depths of the deceptions against people and what's currently taking place in order to change things. I have been starting to share what I know to be true. From history to modern day connections.. Only investigate if truly interested.. Not trying to push this upon anyone. It can be hard to accept for some people. Good luck to everyone. Take care.

Good comments

@promita: This comment is for your benefit so you don't find others downvoting or flagging you.

I have noticed that you have made a number of very short comments on other blogs, which are similar in style to the one above. They don’t really add anything to the discussion of the topic.

Please help keep Steemit free of spam posts.

If you like a post, it is generally sufficient to upvote it unless you want to join in the debate.

Short comments like “awesome”, “nice post” “amazing post” or “really helpful” are generally not seen as part of the debate on the topic ,and if repeated across multiple posts, may be interpreted as spam.

Asking other people to upvote or follow you is also counter-productive and irritating. They may downvote, mute, or flag you.

Downvotes or flags can lower your reputation, can result in the removal of rewards, and may result in your posts not being seen by others.

Don’t worry, I haven’t flagged or downvoted you. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were genuinely trying to encourage the poster. An upvote would have been sufficient.

I never reward short comments.

I often reward intelligent comments. I have a lot of Steempower. An upvote from me is worth hundreds of times a normal upvote. I hope I can reward you for intelligent and thought provoking posts in the future.

I love this!!!! It's so simple and beautifully true.

"In essence, the ex nihilo money creation practiced by the private banks is identical -- I do not hesitate to say this because it is important that people understand what is at stake here -- to the manufacture of currency by counterfeiters, who are justly punished by law. In practice both lead to the same result. The only difference is that those who benefit are not the same."

Thanks for writing this, so many great fractured pieces of perspective. I really appreciate this quote about nazi germany from Norman Ohler. The parallels to the current state of the US are uncanny.

If Nazism was anything, it was a doctrine that claimed Germany could overcome the limits of its purely material resources through the combination of new technology, inspired leadership, and ideological motivation through hatred. It was necessary to do more, push higher, go faster, succeed through will, outdo the other guy in working towards the leader. As the brilliance of Adolf Hitler and of German military commanders would inspire soldiers to triumph on the battlefield, the brilliance of great scientists and entrepreneurs wouid lead Germany to the economic triumph that was also required to win.

I find it interesting to think that so much of our current system has derived from not ONLY people of power at the top, but is directly emergent from our own thoughts and understanding of reality. And actually changing the system, will require shifting the power structures, but also changing ourselves.

Anyway, thanks for the epic post, I'm happy to know you're here, and I dig the multi-dimensional approach!

yes you are quite right that every person must start by changing himself and doing good and must understand the meaning of his existence, so that we can avoid the evil from the people who govern

Good morning @teamsteem, I'm definitely late to the party here. I like the history shift you've taken, the more information we learn about the past can be armed as knowledge walking into the future. I'm also humbled that my quote made it into your post. I was not informed and was met with breathtaking surprise- if you only saw my face!

It's unbearable most days to know that public corporations, along with the hidden elite have been able to control everyone for this long. I got to learn a great deal on how emperors, and kings from Egypt, to Rome, the Middle East up to North America controlled their population from Wold Civilization I in school.

Aside from the Catholic Church and several other corrupt entities leading up to the current day, the past has also seen many people who realized that the wealthy few have shot entire countries, nations and states into poverty and chose to challenge them so that the fruits of their oppositions could be felt by their people's future generations.

This is where I feel we still are today with Centralized Government. No one wants to stand against or stray away from the secretly arbitrary laws that only serve to keep us as people in place. We've given our voices and abilities away to those who aim to capitalize on our efforts. We work harder and longer days, only to find that we afford less than we could previously.

These powers that we don't see, they don't care about us, but only for the work we can do for them. Maintaining their power by printing more money along the way and raising prices to deter anyone from attempting to step out of the grid they control. Prices for food, housing and necessities are increasing every year, it would absolutely be insane to try to survive without bending to their will.

That's one of the major ways the government keeps us slaving. The fear of not being able to provide for ourselves, our families is what makes us say; "Okay, we'll do it your way because it's the only way to survive." It's a bluff. With Decentralized currency on the rise, legislation is looking for every way to make laws to crack down on it. Why? Because a system was made that they cannot control.

If there was no threat of power being brought back as a true democracy, there wouldn't be these new laws regarding coin exchanges, use, and distribution of cryptocurrency. We're here, and in a way many of the people involved in decentralization technologies, even us as Steemians, don't want to be their pawns, their slaves anymore.

The scarcity of resources is a clever illusion that has slowly been unraveling throughout history as time and time again has shown us that the people at the very top, are corrupt and control all resources. By controlling the vast majority of the available (and to be made) currency, they can choose exactly how much everyone makes, and raise prices whenever they feel.

People are sacrificed in mass every day so that these elite can remain in power. I am out here to take a shot at not playing the game so carefully set up for us all to lose. Now, I'm not the confrontational I'm gonna fight you type- but I know that each of us has the power to take our freedoms back, and live in a world of equality where what you really put in is what you receive, where everyone helps everyone else and food, wealth... happiness is abundant for everyone.

If this world doesn't exist, we can create it.

Always aim to inspire.

By controlling the vast majority of the available (and to be made) currency, they can choose exactly how much everyone makes

That's something I would have love to write.

I don't think the Catholic Church and governments are corrupt. I think they are doing what they were designed for. I don't think the Catholic Church was ever pro-Christian.

People are sacrificed in mass every day so that these elite can remain in power.

The universe works in weird ways.

Now, I'm not the confrontational I'm gonna fight you type- but I know that each of us has the power to take our freedoms back, and live in a world of equality where what you really put in is what you receive, where everyone helps everyone else and food, wealth... happiness is abundant for everyone.

If this world doesn't exist, we can create it.

Always aim to inspire.

This is beautifully put! I totally agree!

The quote I used in my post from your post, did you wrote this quote or you took it somewhere? It's a pretty awesome quote.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified where I was going with the Catholic church. The religious beliefs and style were not corrupt, but by telling the people that they can essentially buy their way into heaven is. Instilling the notion that the poor cannot attain salvation because of their class, is oppression.

It's not the religion but how the higher ups in this system enforced rules to benefit themselves. Martin Luther was only providing infornation he thought would benefit the people, he saw it as constructive criticism. Luther wasn't trying to fight anyone, but he got excommunicated for it.

You do a wonderful job when it comes to lead by example, because at the end of the day we can't force someone to wake up to the madness that envelopes humanity, but we can provide the right information and start with ourselves in hopes that others will see where we are coming from.

I used to run a meme page, and our small team always cited work that wasn't ours, but the majority of our posts are original work. I felt at the time that I would come off as narcisistic if I was always quoting myself, so I left my name out of all the ones I wrote. This is one of them, it came from a place where I was facing great adversity in my life, where I needed to remind myself of the actual magnitude of the goals I was trying to achieve.

I'm glad you like it, I'll be sure to post any of my future quotes to include @shello as the source!

It's a very interesting quote.

I don't know about Luther. I don't trust group of more than 2 persons, I can't even trust myself.

Thank you for the compliment. I do my best.

Thank you! We all are capable of being our own person, at times you need to follow your heart no matter what other people think.

I can grasp what you're saying. In order to form a group regardless of size does take convincing, and providing benefits back to them. Hmmm.

I have a glass wall up, so it does take a whike to get to know me, I think a little bit of paranoia can keep us safe! Having a small amount of discord with yourself as well isn't a bad thing. This mechanism allows us to challenge, and question ourselves, leading us to internal growth.

I like the concept of detering complacency! You do your best, that's why I love your posts c:

Discord helps sometimes. Internal civil wars confusion can be the birthplace of powerful breakthroughs. I like your perspective. Following you.

I'm happy you can see where I was going with this. Hopefully you'll like some of my other posts, I'm versatile on a possibly terrifying level lol

Thank you again!

Thanks for sharing this.

I really like your perspective.
Focusing on what we can do to make this world a better place is much better than making up excuses of why I haven't done enough to make my dream come true.
As you said - it's all in your hands! Do what you love and focus on that.

As for decision making, can't think of a better way to explain my views on this than by words from Alan Watts. His talks inspire me. A lot.

“You do not know where your decisions come from, they pop up like hiccups. People have a great deal of anxiety about making decisions. ‘Did I think this over long enough? Did I take enough data into consideration?’ And if you think it through you find you never could take enough data into consideration, the data for a decision in any given situation is infinite. So what you do is, you go through the motions of thinking out what you will do about this. But worriers are people who think of all the variables beyond their control and what might happen." - Alan Watts

Thanks for your excellently done article! Keep on inspiring!

I'm glad you enjoyed my post.

And Wow! I really enjoyed Alan Watts quote. I'm pretty sure I am read it before but had totally forgot about it.

Really a good post.

You would probably enjoying reading Dobelli as well too, if you have not already read his book The Art of Thinking Clearly.

Awesome, your article is simple as as possible but not the simpler, I appreciate your writing style a lot.

Well the elites can easily hold onto real-estate, gold, art and business and only some in cash, so they will survive. The question is what will the rest of us do when the cash becomes worthless!
https://steemit.com/money/@thehutchreport/the-illusive-market-crash

Alan Watts is the smartest man I’ve heard in my life

I agree with you you have to focus on your own goals and dreams and forget the evil from the illuminatis park the big mistake that a lot of people make is to waste a lot of time justifying their weaknesses by the existence of the bad guys which have the power to control all things

Absolutely worth reading the whole post! I think we don't need to go that far into the conspiracy theories to find the roots of the problems of the society.

Its incredible that in the past decade technology grew like no other age in the history of mankind but yet the political and economical structures haven't muted in over a century.

At some point it could be necessary a ruling state because the lack of traffic of information made impossible to a community to reach consensus about the institutions
that society will live in. But today, specially with a tool named Distributed Ledger technology, the whole people can take the power back. Governments does NOT need to have the economic power, intervention makes ANY market inefficient and people need to be aware of that.

Until we create a mesh network separate from the Internet, we should tread lightly. Remember who controls the current network we use to write these posts, distributed or encrypted or not. ;-)

Well said finnian. And indeed we need to get independent MESH Wi-Fi services operating - somehow.....

I am a little late to the party. But I have dedicated my life to the cause of siphoning power away from unjust powers at play. I have full faith in the blockchain technology being the defining factor for this battle for the reclamation of this unjust coagulation of power and the re-instilling of the sovereign right to each and every individual. I have just begun my journey here on Steemit and am working hard and finding my way to first keep afloat, and then to push forth full steem in the direction, against this shadowy group of elite who seek to enslave us all.

We shall stand together as sovereign individuals, and win this battle, for our cause is just.

You're not late. It's an eternal battle!

I recently made a decision to take 6 months off from work. With my free time, I have researched and examined many of the topics that you have discussed here. I went through many emotions Shock, awe, anger,fear just to name a few. I decided that I had to do something, I needed to get the word out and share this information in order to " Wake" people up. Especially the people who were close to me. Well, they didnt want to hear it. They told me I had too much time on my hands and I needed to concern myself with reality. I was determined to do something about what I have learned. After much contemplation I decided that the best thing I could do was to lead by example. I buy Flouride free toothpast, I grow as much as my own food as possible, I buy food from local sources and shop with local merchants . I buy goods and products sold in america when I have a choice. I stopped viewing mass media and get my news from other sources. I remain curious and educated and avoid being distracted from real issues. I give money to the homeless and anyone else on the street asking for money. I practice gratitude and compassion. I support crypto and free thinking etc, etc etc. This is the best I can do. When people ask me what I am doing and why, I share my thoughts with them.. The most important thing that I have realized is that we are not victims unless we choose to be. We have the ultimite power as consumers. We can change the world by making a concious choice about what we want to do with our buying power. The " Illuminati" know this and they fear us "consumers actullay getting together to form consensus. History has shown that one man can change the world by his actions. Jesus Christ, Mohamed, Martin Luther King, Gandi, Nelson Mandella etc etc etc . The best we can do in times like this is to live authenticly, congruent with our beliefs and walk the walk as well as talking the talk

More power to you brethren. It is my desire that more people may act the way you are. For when the time comes, it will be utter chaos and there will be much suffering. The mass majority are not living completely unaware of any foul play. It is going to hurt. But through it, the ones who have prepared will be charged with taking the lead to reclaim our lost soverign rights.

I am on a similar path brother. I just wish i could earn enough to live from Blogging here and other places. I need to make a better effort for better results. Good luck and God Bless.

This has been one of the most thought out, insightful posts i've read on Steem to date. Great job @teamsteem. I wish I wasn't already following you, so I could follow you again. :)

What an interesting vision you have, definitely every written word expresses a feeling, I applaud you, you are a master...

It's definitely true that every word express a feeling. Written words are so underrated.

Thank you for sharing with us. You are a very thorough writer and well detailed.

A song by ABBA goes...Money money money must be funny in a rich man's world... must be sunny in a rich man's world.

It simply to say that those who have less suffers wgile the leaders, government and politicians takes the big share home to their rich world.

We can not stop the evil that goes on but we can always speakup for each other and that is what @teamsteem does at each point. Well done on this always.

I like that song also mamma mia. did you see the movie with pierce brosnan? Sometimes we vilify those guys too much the govt don't you think?

The song used to be my best back then and maybe still. This post made me revisit the lyrics. Haha.

Well about villifying, I think so because they deserve more credit.

Yeah totally. What did you think about Pierce's singing?

Good reading. Well presented for easy reading.
I have read all the comments and am glad to see that there are quite many well minded individuals here. The topic(s) covered is something I have read on for some time now and it is refreshing to find like minded people here.
My only addition to this is that the way to liberation is: MIND. Freedom of.
Despite all they control, all they have attempted. They simply do not rule mind in a blanket form like they would like to. Or else, it would be total control long ago. Which is why I believe the Future is heading towards it wil Ai and trans-humanism.
They have the masses well docile with TV and the standard social medias and such. Sport, the so called right to identify as a toaster if you wish.. and (sorry if I offend any one here)... the right to marry the same sex.. which in time will lead to even more sinister "rights".
Freedom of MIND, dismantles as that.
Which is why only a few truly have it, with it dwindling more and more.
For complete freedom, there would need to be a consciousness revolution.
One where collectively, we realize that ALL of it.. even so called "laws" only exist, when we allow them to collectively exists with meaning.
Anything for that matter. Even matter is granted meaning by how and what our Minds allow. Such a change is not so simple though.
I believe that in the same way we share empathy, through the generational "programming" of it into our brains.. we can achieve transcendence also.
Collectively though.
Evidence of this phenomena is even studied.
The example I will use is "The Trapped Miners".
The effect of bonding and phenomena behaviour experienced when men were trapped for so long existing together. There is much more to it, but this post is not meant to be so well presented with quotations and such.
The jist of it though is that we, ALL LIFE is systems.
Systems on top of systems.. which at cellular level.. exist in the form of Organisms.
So it is evident that if given the opportunity.
Human as singular.. can quite easily become a bonded organism with other Humans.. and if repetition of that bond continues through many many cycles..
A new existence could be realized.
We exists in a much too unorganized state however.
Physics rewards repetition over many cycles to give rise to new existence.

Or else, it would be total control long ago.

I agree. If they could have achieved total control it would have been done. That's not the case.

I think cryptocurrencies were the missing thing to get us bonded in a way that can make us organized.

Yeah good point. I have thought about this but I only began to follow cryptocurrencies recently. I do share your belief though in regards to how I see the Internet and the super-connected state which we are heading towards.. along with Ai in the picture and the movement away from biology and/or the hacking of. It is clear then that it is the final frontier. Once complete. all born or all "created" are directly connected to the system. As depicted in The Matrix.
Crazy times ahead.

Do you believe that there is an opposing Elite force?
I have thought about this.. and I see it in the comments also.
That as the pot boils more and more and maintaining contents gets to be more and more difficult. There would have to be a deferring Elite which would want to change the direction or at least apply similar challenge to it in the same way Elite applied challenge and gained supremacy.
Someone like Elon Musk for instance.
I can't quite figure out if he is part of or one which truly does want to start the change. He has grand visions for Humanity. Has great following.. but then I wonder. Are his motives pure.
In theory, new planetary Life could re-imagine itself and simply do away with all that is corrupting us here on Earth.
A sort of re-birth of our species.
He is after all, quite public about his view of Ai and seeks all that positive stuff such as renewable energy and improving mankind.

I do wonder!

I think the ruling elite are providing some freedom to some to develop technologies like Elon is doing but I feel like no one is really totally free and like I said or implied I feel like a large part of the public figures are in the know about this.

I don't necessarily think anyone in their right mind can be happy with the state of the world today, people just keep quiet because of concrete threats or just to avoid trouble.

Excellent post!

It seems too often that these discussions are dismissed as "conspiracy theories" when people talk about problems with the world, but there is overwhelming evidence that those in power in the world have a hidden agenda of their own to maintain that power and control.

I think it was put best in the Matt Damon video when he reads, "Nixon and Brezhnev have far more in common with one another than Nixon has with us. J Edgar Hoover has far more in common with the head of the Soviet Secret Police than he has with us."

I think that the true nature of the elite power structure of the world is becoming more and more apparent with the availability of information on the internet, and it is posts like this that will help wake people up to the reality of the "topsy-turvy" world we live in.

Thanks for putting this together!

This people owns everything, ranging from the court room Down...it's hard to challenge such men .

Indeed!

Good post... i don't think we can trust Katt Williams' political acumen, but you know, it's all good (-:

God will help us

Awesome post @teamsteem. The arguments you present are extremely compelling. Humanity is being robbed by the Central Banks, Governments, multi-national companies, and of course the elite families.

The video 'Rise Up' was a particular favourite of mine. I believe that we are waking up and soon will be rising up, it is starting to happen all over the world. I also believe that the global elite are going to hit back even harder. We will see more fear mongering, more terrorism, more surveillance, more threats of WW3, more restrictions on freedom, more false flag operations, more controlled opposition filtrating alternative media, and many more stunts.

I worked in Government for 10 years. The people at the top do not need to do much to control employees. Employees have made it a point to control themselves. Implementing excessive red tape so that people are too tied down unable to raise significant issues beyond immediate lines of command. It is very much a 'Brave New World' system in place.

We need to break these chains and get the message out that we should not be controlled and we should not be controlling each other for the benefit of the few elite. Thanks for this post and all the other great work you are doing. I voted for you as a witness. Let's make Steemit the best platform for producing great information.

I've had your post here @teamsteem up in my browser for days. I've read it over and over and meant to resteem to preserve it for those that may come across my Steemit blog. New here and missed the 7 day limit I think. Is there a way to resubmit or ? to make it available for resteeming?

My service over the past many years has been coordinating the efforts of others. Great teams out there but getting all that info into one place is exactly the challenge we face today. I do see the Steemit platform can be the mechanism to achieve that goal. Our chance to make the world a better place is here now, but the problem being, not enough people know it yet. A more fully informed public will be our saving grace. Ignorance is no longer "bliss" as many are finding out the hard way.

If there is no way to resteem an article over 7 days old, I suggest to myself to do a summary of your post here with a link back to the article. The best approach I've found to get someone to do a bit of due diligence is to provide the information and offer the challenge "Ponder this". So maybe I have answered my own question.

The old term "issues and causes" has new meaning for me in these later years of research. I look at those 2 words now and know there are many issues facing families today and if we are to address those "issues" we must find the "causes". Your article here makes it easy to recognize the many causes of despair and the degeneration of our very livelihood. Thank you for SEEing what is @teamsteem and the need to Steem on!
Let peace be the journey,
@vickiebarker

Where has this article been all my life?

Thank you!

So simply put, here we have another case of allocating problems in the world to both, Money and Government. This is a boring trend on Social Media at this point. It's nothing more than modern day communism.

You tie in the problems that Money and Government entail in the world and have no solution. Lmao

Look if you dislike the "evil" of money, don't make it, don't spend it. It's very hypicritcal
If you don't like government, don't ask them to protect you from criminals and fix roads.

What people are doing now a days are trying to mix money and government into all problems in the world. In other words, communism.

Warning, posts like the above can help you develop a "victim" mentality, where you blame other people for all the problems in life, and therefore can't advance.

This post is one of those "call it like I see it posts" or "don't shoot the messanger posts" in all reality yes, there are issues with money and govt, nothing is perfect. but this pushes modern day communism, this is a lame trend atm,imo.

I don't think he was promoting communism at all. In fact just the opposite. One of the ten planks of communism is :

Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Yes it is unjust, it's not just us imagining it either. A few have the control of the issuance of money and the rest of us can only borrow it and pay it back with our labor (The majority of money is created by the issuance of debt). Fortunately with the advent of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies this unjust system may finally be rendered obsolete.

Which is why I am here.

I don't think your understanding what I'm trying to say.

There is a hugh trend here in the USA (Not sure where your from or located) and it extends to other nations, it is all over social media.

It's the same retoric (Despise Money,Government, Money Control,Government Control) so this idea is leading people into a fritz. Like a hugh fritz/frenzy/fad.

Personally I'm against Monopolies and Government Control myself, but does that mean I have real hatred towards money and the government, especially the U.S government? No...

Most people are not like that here in the USA. They are the opposite as a matter of fact.
The average person now a days is all for Hating Money,Government and Government Control.

That's why I say it's a trend or a fad that will die down. It's actully a bad trend because people have so much hatred towards the two and don't know why... So they blame things like "The Illuminati" the all seeing eye at the top... Sigh.

But back to Money, Goverment and Government Control. In the USA, no it's not perfect and it has flaws, but damn people loooove pointing to those flaws as the "root of all evil" huh?

That's my point, people should wonder less about the flaws of money/government and speak about what type of system we should implement in our nation to help everyone.

Again Money and Government Control IS FLAWED but if you think that BitCoin is going to save the world and make everything perfect... I like cryptocurrency, but nothing is perfect.

I have never use the word or concept of communism nor do I advocate for such a system. I also have provided solution and these are being implemented all over the world. This post is part of a series.

Freedom do come with consequences but i believe in spirit of freedom. All human have rights to it.
Nice n great blog.

Thank you!

If national currencies are so obviously created out of nothing for the sole benefit of a small elite at the expense of everyone else then why isn't there a more cohesive opposition to this system?

A somewhat glib (although also with a kernel of truth) answer is bread and circuses.

But mainly, I think, the reason is that it's done slowly, bit by bit, rather than all at once. We are the frog in the ever-heating pot of water.

This is quite a handful, I couldn't know which one to read. Nice try though

Whenever we acquire some money, it means somewhere someone is getting less and in our world this result in many people dying and many more living in horrible condition.

I think this is partially true and partially false.

There is a limited amount of money, but an unlimited amount of wealth. Wealth is formed every time we combine our lives with a resource to create something. The Illuminati can control all of the United States fiat dollars and I can still go out and create something of value. Hopefully, if I create something of value other will be willing to trade with me and I can increase my wealth regardless of the number of dollars controlled by others.

Piling up fiat money may mean there is less fiat money for others to own, but we should not allow it to affect our wealth. There are other mediums available for us to trade our products and services if we choose to move away from fiat currency. Gold and silver are still allowed, but difficult to trade quickly. Chickens and goats will always be a form of currency, but not everyone has room for farm animals. Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, and Steem are all making tremendous headway as a viable alternative to fiat currency.

Thanks again for another interesting article. You are still the only one I've voted for as a witness. You certainly add a lot of value to the Steemit community!

Come and say hello on the Steemit Libertarian Chat Channel soon!

Agreed wealth wise. Wealth is, in a sense, valuable production either as a product or a service. Value is assigned according to the customer, not the producer. Anyone can do it, and it really is unlimited!

What you say is true. I think I have removed the part where I was specifying that this isn't necessarily true in all system or situation but overall, on average it's true. People are dying because they have no wealth and if they had money then they wouldn't be dying. Sure they can do without money but most people on Earth need money.

@teamsteem it's so huge post! Sorry to say but I really want to know how much you take time to wrote this post!

One gazillion hours. I've mentioned the time in many of my other comments and I'm not sure I'll mention it again. It's not important. One must note that this post is mostly quoted text yet it took me more time that most people put into writing their posts, still it's not what is at stake here.

Thank you for asking. I hope you will appreciate reading it if you end up reading it.

It's nice to see some long posts get a good response it's always sad when something that took so much effort and pages get 10 c

What is the price of liberty? It is eternal vigilance. There's no better way to spend our limited time. I thank you for your efforts too, @teamsteem. You are being the hero.

Thank you @finnian. I always reading your comments.

wooo, in the first photo is Dubai?! Awesome!


No stone was left un-turned in this one. It's thorough.

I hate to do a shameless plug here but I think it applies. Crypto evangelicals like yourself @teamsteem definitely create an environment of confidence surrounding bitcoin and the crypto-ecosystem as a whole. The key problem with crypto right now is dispute resolution and it is the primary aspect regulators will hold over our heads as a community until it gets resolved. Our platform and protocol at Jury.Online provides a logical decentralized solution to one of the final frontiers of crytpo legality and barriers to its massive global adoption. Our platform is a way for smart contracts to maintain privacy while solving dispute resolution issues, a way for smart contracts to still be self executing and hold escrow but for much more complex terms to apply when necessary, when a simple if this then that executions won't cut it. Right now, the crypto ecosystem is the wild west, What measures could have been set in place to insure all MtGox investors had a safety net? It's one thing to anticipate one day that crypto will be legitimately adopted across all regulatory bodies, it's a completely different thing to establish our own system so that we don't need it. If the internet were a country, bitcoin would be the currency of that country and it's time that country had its own judicial system. Jury.Online is building that system. Join us.

Thank you for those nice compliment. I've look at your project and it's a really interesting project. Dispute resolution on the blockchain is definitely a must.

It all comes back to Gold and Silver. The only true money for 6,000 years.

Everything that has value is money.

First of thanks for writing long and detailed blog on a complex topic. Cryptocurrency is the competition against banking curtails. Idea behind currency is the value it represents. When monetary policy enacts, it dilutes or contract that value. Ultimate problem is current currency system is that is based on debt and interest. As the interest+principle is higher than principle, one has to create more money to service the interest- a never ending cycle. Even cryptocurrency sometimes overshoots or undershoot value, but it is continuously evolving and competing with status-quo.

Yeah that point about the current system and the fact the interest on the debt are never created thus more money always to be created just show how malicious this whole system is.

Thanks for making this amazing post, those who are not aware of the situation will definitely start thinking about it after reading it. From all the research i have done in last few years, the only solution that i could see is something like ''The Venus Project'' . We need a different way of thinking, different value system, different approach to to almost every aspect of our life,but as long as greed is perpetuating our society, we won't wake up.. Until it's too late.

Individual liberty works. We should guard against replacing one tyrannical system with another.

Individual liberty to do what? Whatever i want? instead of guarding what we have, we should get rid of possibility for tyrannical systems to exist. That involves changing so called ''Human behaviour'' . Not an easy task, but achievable.

No, not whatever you want. Do what you want as long as it does not harm another person or their property. That's not very difficult for you to do, right?

It's not difficult at all, yet many struggle to do it. What happens with environment that is not owned by anyone? Can i do whatever i want there? As example - Can i put a few tons of toxic waste in the middle of the ocean? Not gonna harm anyone, it's too far and not going to damage any private property.
Without proper education, personal liberty is too dangerous. Give a bunch of uneducated idiots an equal right to vote as intelligent people have and see what happens. So i think no, personal liberty on its own doesn't work.

I've heard about the Venus Project. Dan Larimer has open my eyes on some alternative systems that could possibly be even better. I'm going to recommend you to check out my post on him if you haven't. Venus Project has some good intention but cryptocurrencies are leading us toward a much better world than what The Venus Project has been able to do so far.

Also The Venus Project is on Steem. They have their account. I don't remember what is it.

Thanks For your reply and recommendations to read other posts. I've done that and I admire Dans vision and actions he takes,but as any other person with different background, i disagree on some things too. It is indeed correct that our planet is our (including all the other animals and creatures) common heritage, it is correct that just because someone is born later then other, he shouldn't have disadvantage on common heritage. But with increasing automation and upcoming A.I. technology, most of our basic needs should be solved and human labour will be minimised almost to zero, and technically we eventually will stay with doing only creative jobs, like being scientists, artists, musicians, space explores, gardeners, ecologists e.t.c. simply because we are very curious creatures and when a person does what he loves, the work itself becomes a reward ( if basic needs are fulfilled unconditionally ). And that is part of what Jacque Fresco was offering. Same as Jacque , i believe that nothing should be a private property, and everything should be common. And because there's enough resources to fulfill all our needs and because pretty soon we will have technical possibility to achieve it, everyone will have higher standard of living then the wealthiest people of today. But Jacques vision, requires a vision on the future, without looking through prism of past. Resources need to be moved from one place to another, simply because there's a necessity to do so,not because there's some money or credits that paid for them to be moved. They need to be moved because it will benefit everyone, including environment that we live in, and shouldn't have anything to do with profit to anyone (unless profit becomes common wealth and doesn't harm environment). I wish we could have this debate face to face one day, meeting like minded people and looking on matters from different angles can bring each other to right and effective conclusions. Maybe one day we will be on the same continent.

Do you mean dump toxic waste like governments and big corporations do all the time without any way to stop them?

What individual has a lot of toxic waste to dump anyway? I certainly don't have any. My dad used to dump his used motor oil behind his house. We had a garden back there and ate the food from it too. haha

You're a funny guy.

I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.

Wow thats awesome @teamsteem

Flying high at dubai airspace is absolutely awesome. Im thrilled to see this picture. I cant imagine myself in that situation since im afraid of heights. But deep inside me is willing to experience that thrill. That once for a lifetime experience!

Its like bitcoin that is soaring high among all the.currencies in the market. Its now hightime to invest in cryptocurrencies for us not to be left behind by time and opportunity!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful article @teamsteem!

My new worldwide humanitarian aid organization is working around the limitations of borders, governments and fiat currencies to come to the aid of our fellow humans with Help, Opportunity, Purpose and Empowerment. This is via my new project @YouAreHOPE

It's time for us to take matters into our own hands, Sir, and the wonderful caring and giving community of people here with the aid of a transparent, borderless, block chain enabled cryptocurrency in the form of STEEM and SBD and the associated coins like Bitcoin to move the funds around the globe, are doing just that.

Please check out our efforts to immediately provide direct assistance already underway in three different desperate nations at once, including Nigeria, the Philippines and Venezuela on our blog at @youarehope - Thanks @teamsteem for continuing to be vigilant in your heart and your coverage of the problems with the way our world works today.

I'd love to talk with you some more, as I very much enjoyed our last conversation, any time you'd like. Thanks for this detailed post illuminating yet more important issues. - @SirCork (witness #98, founder, YouAreHOPE.org)

Thank you @sircork. Great initiative.

Thank you and thank you for using your valuable time to take a look and to expose the issues with the power corruption and the fundamental flaws in the way the world works today. I would stand by your side in any fight for truth and equality and freedom from such constraints as are currently thrust upon most of us around the globe. Be well!

This is one reason I love Steemit. It puts the power of direct charity into the hands of the individual without the need for "non-profit" organizations with millionaire CEO's.

Thanks. Yes, that's exactly the point! Please tell your friends and encourage them to make the donations we desperately need to do the work!

Too long but very good !!

Thank you again for an interesting article. Thank you for this.

Its true that the biggest issue is civil obedience. Couldn't have been more on point. I think that the "non diclosures" that have to be signed for anything and everything is why we never get that true outrage at anything. Not enough people

Compartmentalized intelligence works and works very, very well. I don't want to go to prison. Most people don't.

Awesome post! Freedom is inevitable :)

Amazing arricle and info thanks

Great post! We ARE free, but we must choose to live it! Freedom is something you possess even when captive!

Man this is serious stuff. I am constantly doubtful to simply acknowledge such "insane" presumptions. I get a kick out of the chance to put stock in the framework however with a receptive outlook. Understanding that it is controlled by individuals, and individuals can be covetous and misleading yet additionally minding and great. Idk, the post by teamsteem and this answer unquestionably urge me to keep instructing myself with a receptive outlook. Furthermore, I believe that is the thing that society needs the most and it is showing signs of improvement with innovation. Training to the majority with a receptive outlook, not endeavoring to get to a foreordained conclusion. I don't think little of the energy of many free creatures. However, to be free is an extreme word, it involves instruction and ideal to data as much as it incorporates the essential flexibilities we are so comfortable with like discourse and confidence.

Post is well written from start to finish. Really opens the eyes of the uninformed. Thanks for posting it.

@teamsteem
Charlie Chaplin part was great, also Hitler said words like this, even with more other things which you may didn't knew them.

If you wanna skip the intro go to 2:04 min that's where his speech starts :

as you see Hitler is dead but USA Government took control of everywhere and everywhere they go , they just destroy and take human's life!!

Hitler said : Jews will take control of the world, and today we see it with our eyes! we see the effect everywhere, cinema, politic, governments and .......

I also wrote two articles for Freedom, if you like to check :

Here is the BBC documentary that exposes the work of Edward Bernays. Very eye-opening, mind expanding investment of a couple hours. You are being manipulated.

Life itself is unfair. That is why we must do everything possible to support and promote steem and steemit.
Thanks for such details

Could you please erase your 2 duplicated comment below? Thank you.

deleted, thanks. it was network it was showing broadcast error, never knew it actually delivered

It can be unfair, but the productive and wise will still prosper over the lazy and ignorant (not saying you are either).

It will take me a lots of time to read your post..I have read some But I bet it is very interesting..I will came back and reply after reading whole post..and thanks For sharing..great post..thanks once again..

Sometimes I wonder if it is the cryptos that are appreciating, or if in reality it is the fiat currencies that are always depreciating. Great post.

It's a little of both and other things? Have you seen the upside down pyramid image at demonocracy.info? Basically, smart money is getting out of fiat currencies. They see what is about to happen. It's only the beginning though. As this bubble bursts, there will be a mad rush from fiat into something else. Crypto will be one of those other things. Precious metals, land, and other hard assets will be others. Crypto prices are also rising as new fiat is given up to buy them. Sellers need buyers. This is true for Steem too. I still think people should have their day to day survival taken care of before they speculate in any possible investment.

Unless they government has its own Crypto ready to go.

They will not lose their control over currency without a bloody fight. Governments, and the banks behind them, have unlimited processing power and free electricity too. They are certainly mining. Governments also control the payment systems, the fiat to crypto and back process, and the Internet. For that reason I do not recommend people put too much of their savings into crypto.

They might have free electricity but most of cryptocurrencies have been created so far because most Bitcoin that will ever be mined have been mine and thus far the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are bound to the price of Bitcoin. Also the other cryptocurrencies which make up the majority of the crypto market cap have also been mined or created.

"Money is cause for a lot of psychological and physical suffering in this world. I sometime get anxious over money myself." Yup... I to can relate 100%. Great article about money.

Sad to think that we receive money in the US... somewhere out there someone else is getting less. Hopefully with Steemit, we will be more connected on this platform to help people out in need. :)

Life is a celebration!

And I thought you were always smiling and laughing!

Hahaha I try my best too! ❤

The more US Dollars in the system, the less they purchase. What most people don't understand is how painful that is overseas. They don't see much price inflation here in the USA, but the weakening purchasing power on people overseas is crippling when their economies depend on the value of the USD. America is very "good" at exporting inflation.

I am new to steemit i found someone speeking on the Idea in youtube ,he said he tried it ,i thought why don't give it a try like this we could create good content and enjoy our freedom

That gif is pretty awesome.

great post my dear

This post is too long. But the first half is good and I like it. and my answer to your question "why isn't there a more cohesive opposition to this system?"
This is why: Because we, the sheeple, have a lot to learn in regard of how we should evaluate /appreciate things.
For example if Hollywood go on strike for 10 thousand years not much would be affected. If garbage bickers, police or fire fighters go on strike for days, federal government will declare martial law. But look at the paycheck difference. Why would you expect celebrities would join such an opposition ?
