The Democrats want America to fall and China to rise. It's evident in their policies and actions.
That's because the Democrats are communists.

Collectivism is a cancer.
Reading this eye-opener. There's gotdamn commies hidden in plain sight all over our beautiful country. And they've been plotting to destroy America for decades. Politicians, media, intelligence, labor, Hollywood, and so on.
We're going to use #Bitcoin and #Nostr to defeat these people.

You can't plan an economy. It just happens.
Planning actually ruins markets and economies.
The Democratic Party should rebrand as the American Communist Party (ACP).
No more false advertising. That's against the law ๐
COMMUNISM IS A DEATH ECONOMY
Communism is an elaborate scam whereby a small group of charismatic "leaders" convince the masses that all their problems will be solved if all private property is eliminated. However, under communism, property does not get eliminated, it is all just confiscated by the state.
Therefore, under communism, all the property is owned by a small number of elites, and the proletariat lives in extreme poverty "for the greater good." Yeah, right.
Needless to say, communism is a brutal and horrific regime at scale. The atrocities committed by communist members of the USSR and the PRC in modern times are unforgivable, and yet, Marxist ideals are still held in a positive light today in some parts of society.
Perhaps communism is acceptable at a small scale, say, at the family level. One family that shares all of its property with one another and doesn't bother to worry about who owns what is not going to commit atrocities. Even one small community of 50-100 people could probably get away with organizing itself using communist principles.
Where communism becomes a serious problem is when a government attempts to scale it to the masses.
Private property is foundational to civilization. Can we take anyone seriously who legitimately believes that individuals do not deserve to keep the property that they earn through their labor?
Communism, and its close cousin, Socialism, do not work because they are uncivilized. They are systems that require large scale theft and violence to work. No government theft or violence, no Communism or Socialism.
So, by now it should be clear that we can bury these destructive concepts in the 20th century where they belong, right?
For whatever reason, these concepts are still popular. Perhaps it is because we are so accustomed to the death economy, where governments steal our property through taxation and inflation and then use the stolen resources to kill and maim foreign citizens in the name of "freedom and democracy." What a joke.
When you take a good hard look at the USA and the EU for that matter, and how our systems of government actually work, you see that we've become at least partially socialist countries, if not full-fledged communist.
While the USSR was overt and aggressive in its campaign to eliminate private property, the US and the EU are more settle in the way they steal from their populace. Instead of using violence and torture, our modern governments use a more potent weapon - central banking - to commit their sneaky grand theft.
We have all been feeling the weight of inflation in recent years. Have you ever asked yourself, "why do we experience monetary inflation?" Or "who or what is responsible for monetary inflation?"
The answer to those questions is very simple - we experience inflation because our money is issued by a central bank (the Federal Reserve in the US and the European Central Bank in the EU). What is the cause behind inflation? The central bank has the power to create new money out of thin air, with no costs or strings attached. Money doesn't grow on trees. It is created with a few clicks of a mouse on a computer screen.
This is why we have inflation and inflation is a devious and shadowy form of theft. The government and the banks spend inordinate amounts of time trying to explain to us why inflation is good for us. "It helps us grow the economy!" they say.
This is simply not true. All inflation does is take purchasing power away from whoever holds the currency that's being inflated. Plain and simple. It may appear that we're all getting wealthier through inflation. After all, if our stock portfolios are going up and the value of our homes are increasing, we must be getting wealthier, right?
That may be true, if you own assets. When a currency gets inflated, everyone in the economy is forced to find ways to retain their purchasing power. It's a mad dash to compete for scarce, valuable assets before society's purchasing power gets wiped out by inflation.
If you are imprudent, over indebted, or simply don't earn enough money to be able to save and invest into assets, sorry, you lose. There's nothing we can do for you. You have to either accept your fate as a poor person, or join the rat race and climb your way up into the asset holding class.
One of the second order consequences of rampant inflation is that we slowly but surely get a communist system if money printing persists. With a central bank, the charismatic "leaders" don't have to use explicit violence and coercion to steal everyone's property. They can gradually make valuable property unaffordable for the vast majority by inflating the value of desirable assets sky high.
Look at society today, and a small group of "elites" owns most of the property in the form of stocks, real estate, and commodities. The vast majority are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford to live. Gee, how did this happen?
Let's face it, we were hoodwinked. We've been scammed. The government, the financial institutions, and the large corporations own us now. They own everything. And they are telling us that by 2030, we will "own nothing, and be happy." Sounds an awful lot like the communist ethos, doesn't it?
Sure enough, the death economy has brought us to our knees. Backdoor communism is the law of the land these days, unless we fight back. But how?
First, we have to stand up to these sociopathic bullies. But a violent revolution will never work. We have to fight back on the economic and ideologic battlefields.
Second, we must harness and master the greatest form of property in human history: #Bitcoin.
When used properly, Bitcoin is unconfiscatable digital property. It is money that can't be inflated or stolen by the government or the central banks.
Forget about the current price in your local currency for a second, and ask yourself, "how valuable is property that no one can steal from me, to me?"
For a lot of us, the answer will be: virtually priceless. Why would we sell property in cyberspace that bad actors can't possibly take from us?
If central banks are the ultimate weapon for communist totalitarians, Bitcoin is the ultimate weapon for freedom fighters who would rather die than live as a slave in a communist system.
We need Bitcoin to finally break free. We need Bitcoin to teach the world that private property is important for human life to flourish on Earth. We need Bitcoin to bury the evil, destructive allure of communism.
Communism is a death economy system. And it must be destroyed for life to improve on Earth.
How much better would the USA (and the world) be without fiat central banking?
Would it be 10x better? 100x? 1000x?
It would be infinitely better. We would not even recognize ourselves.
End the death economy. Build the life economy.
Let's go.

If they're lying to us about one thing, what's the probability that they're lying to us about other things?
If they're lying to us about multiple things, what's the probability that they're lying to us about EVERYTHING?
The Cold War never reallllly ended.
The Communism vs Capitalism battle has raged on worldwide, even after the fall of the USSR.
As a matter of fact, lots of Communists have been living and working in the US for a long time. Trying to destroy capitalism from inside the US. Some KGB officers and agents even infiltrated our government. (Read JFK and the Unspeakable by Douglass).
I believe we are going to experience an endgame of sorts in this battle during our lifetime, and it's going to be epic.
The folks who are often referred to as "the globalists," would probably be better defined as "the global communists." They want a One World Government, where you will "own nothing and be happy." Sounds a bit like global communism, no?
Naturally, the vast majority of people around the world don't want global communism, so these rats have been pretending to be pro-capitalist and patriotic in the US and EU (and other nations), while they work to slowly but surely introduce communist policies through the legal system.
It seems like we are seeing pushback and wins across the world against the Global Communists. El Salvador being a great example.
And assuming more and more people start to wake up to the reality of this situation, I believe we will secure a massive victory over the commies. #Bitcoin is the weapon that overwhelms the communists biggest weapon, the global central banking system.
A sign that we've defeated the global communists for good is when we shut down the Federal Reserve and the EU Central Bank. When that weapon is taken away, how will the communists be able to fight? They won't be able to. They will be neutered and powerless, and they will surrender.

Good morning #Nostr The future is to peer-to-peer everything.
- Commerce
- Communications
- Community
- Spirituality
- Governance
The incumbent authorities are not worthy of their position in our lives.
So let's cut out the middlemen (the parasite class) and organize ourselves as nature intended: peer-to-peer.
As far as I can tell, David Icke's books are the bottom of the rabbit hole.
Not saying everything he writes about is true, but it would explain a lot...
A hallmark of the fiat system is the outsourcing of responsibility.
We outsource our defense and security.
We outsource the education of our kids.
We outsource our relationship with God.
We outsource our governance.
We outsource our food supply.
We outsource the building of our infrastructure.
We outsource our finances.
We outsource our thinking.
The list goes on.
You can live for decades, look up one day, and realize that you have abdicated almost all of your responsibility over your life.
Fiat delenda est. Fiat must be destroyed.
It's incredible how corrupt the world's leaders and institutions are. Truly astonishing.
I get why most people don't believe or don't want the truth. It's too dark for most. There seems to be a bottomless pit of corruption and evil.
There is nothing left to do but stay humble, stack sats, post notes, get right with God in your heart and let it all unravel.

Eff it, let's post two Life Economy posts on a Saturday.
8 PRINCIPLES FOR THE LIFE ECONOMY
What will it take to bring about the life economy?
We need strong core values and grounding principles that individuals, families, and communities can live by.
In addition to the 4 pillars of the life economy, which we defined as courage and love, sound money, security in abundance, and unite and collaborate, here we take a crack at establishing 8 principles of the life economy:
FREEDOM
The vast majority of us are loving, caring, and conscientious people. We can be trusted to do the right thing. Somehow, the minority have convinced the majority that we are wicked, and need to be watched over like little children.
We don't need corrupt governments telling us what to do. We don't need large corporations dictating our culture and way of life to us.
We need freedom. Freedom to succeed and freedom to fail. Freedom is foundational. And we must value it above all else.
NATURAL LIVING
The death economy has been defined by replacing natural ways of living with artificial and unnatural ways of living.
We all innately know how we want to live. We want to have meaningful relationships. We want to do meaningful work. We want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. We want to spend a great deal of our time in nature. We want to have leisure time for activities that feed our spirit.
We can turn away from all of the unnatural ways of living that have been foisted on us in the modern world. It will take hard work to break bad habits, but when we remove everything that's artificial from our lives, anything that's left is what's meant to be there.
RESPONSIBILITY
We have outsourced so much of our lives to the "experts" and the "authorities." To what end?
A life economy requires individuals and families to take responsibility in a radical way. It means that we don't trust the "experts" and the "authorities" by default. We trust ourselves and our own inner wisdom. We take ownership over all of our actions - especially our mistakes.
The "experts" and "authorities" have proven themselves to be irresponsible at best, and downright malevolent at worst. The best antidote for this issue is for individuals to take responsibility for themselves.
NON-AGGRESSION
The non-aggression principle is fundamental to the life economy. It states that no one may use violence against another individual unless an aggressive individual uses violence against you first.
This principle values self-defense. What madness convinced us all that we are not allowed to protect ourselves? That we must rely on the police and the military for security? If individuals don't protect themselves, individuals will be preyed upon by groups of aggressors, manipulators, and corrupt actors.
A vibrant economy and society must be rooted in non-aggression. When we blunt our aggressive instincts but train ourselves to defend against potential aggressors, we are ready for anything and we can focus on being productive.
OPEN-MINDEDNESS
Fear, ignorance, and closed-mindedness have held us back for long enough. They kill productivity and cripple healthy living.
Open-mindedness and tolerance for the opinions of others are crucial to rebuilding society.
DECENTRALIZED POWER
"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Global government, global health organizations, and global goals = global insanity.
There can't possibly be a free, prosperous, healthy society with power concentrated in a small number of hands.
Power must be handed over to individuals and small groups. There should be as little government as possible, and where there is a government, it should be decentralized and checked many times over.
Let's be honest with ourselves; we have given up our power to corrupt centralized governments, corporations, and organizations for way too long.
We must break up old, large, corrupt organizations, and form new, small, principled, decentralized organizations.
COOPERATION, NOT COERCION
The death economy is built on coercion. We will build the life economy on cooperation.
We are a tribal species, and we operate best in cooperative tribes. It's only natural for us to peacefully cooperate within our group and with other peaceful groups.
Large federal governments maintain their power through their monopoly on violence. They coerce us to follow their laws, pay their taxes, and fund their wars. It is only once we do not cooperate with centralized governments that we'll be free to cooperate with each other in a peaceful way.
INDIVIDUAL & FAMILY SOVEREIGNTY
The time of kings and queens is over. The time of corrupt democracies and bureaucracies is also (almost) over.
It's time for individuals and families to hold the power.
Most here on #Nostr will be familiar with the book, "The Sovereign Individual." While it is definitely possible for individuals to become sovereign in the 21st century, no man is an island. I believe what we're going to build toward is the possibility for individuals, families, and small tribes to be sovereign through the life economy.
It may take a generation or more, but we will get past these violent sovereign nations in time and replace them with a more autonomous, empowered individual and family.
#Bitcoin #Nostr
Well, here goes nothing.
THE DEATH OF "THE DEATH ECONOMY" & THE BIRTH OF "THE LIFE ECONOMY"
What we are experiencing right now is the long, slow death of the "death economy." Outlined in John Perkins' remarkable book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, the death economy has pillaged the world. The rich have become fewer and richer while the number of poor have increased and become poorer.
The four pillars of the death economy, as Perkins outlined, are:
- Fear
- Debt
- Anxiety over Insufficiency, and
- Divide and Conquer
While it's an uncomfortable truth, it is true that the political, religious, financial, economic, and media leaders of the past century have lorded over society using these nefarious and demoralizing tactics.
The seat of the global empire of the death economy has been the United States of America since the end of WWII. While Americans can take credit for many positive developments for humanity in the time our country has played this role on the global stage, we cannot overlook the dark and evil side of our country.
In his book, Perkins detailed that, "the death economy is driven by the goal that was promoted by a group of economists in the 1970s and 1980s, including Nobel Prize winners Friedrich von Hayek (1974) and Milton Friedman (1976), and can be summarized as 'the only responsibility of business is to maximize short-term owner profits, regardless of the social and environmental costs."
The consequences of this attitude is that the world has been conquered by a small group of people that Perkins calls "the corporatacracy."
What we do next will define our country's legacy.
The opportunity is here to replace the death economy with something more just, fair, and peaceful. The life economy.
If the life economy is the inverse of the death economy, it would be reasonable to suggest that the four pillars of the life economy would be:
- Courage and Love
- Sound Money
- Security in Abundance, and
- Unite and Collaborate
We have all of the tools and knowledge that we need to build this new world. But it will take a critical mass of individuals who will step up and build the life economy with an unshakable commitment to these principles.
Just imagine if the world economy operated with abundance, freedom, and love at it's core instead of lack, debt slavery, and fear.
That's what I intend to fight for in launching this project. I want to live in a world running the software of the life economy. God willing, my children and grandchildren will inherit this world from you and me. It will be a long, hard fight, but we can overcome the death economy and create the life economy.
Let's begin.

Why Bitcoin?
Because if we don't stand up to fiat governments, banks, and financial institutions they will take everything from us.
We are standing up to totalitarians, that's why #Bitcoin
If you discover that an arsonist has burned down a building in your town, you don't invite that person to design and rebuild the thing they destroyed.
You try them and imprison them.
We know that central bankers have burned down our economy. So why we would accept their CBDC?
They are arsonists, and we all know what to do with arsonists.
