Banks can freeze your accounts without authorization. Is that the kind of financial system we want?

A Quaker into decentralization, permaculture, simplicity, peace. Exploring the world one step at a time. Seeker of truth, separating facts from fiction. Always curious, often wandering. Here to learn, listen and grow. Opinions are works-in-progress. Will walk long distances for good conversation.
The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 turned financial institutions into a branch of law enforcement. Think about that.
Consistency in principles isn't just ethical, it's practical. It's easier to remember and stand by what you truly believe.
We're at a crossroads: government surveillance money or free, open, private people's money. Choose wisely.
Levers of power attract the worst in society.
Universal basic finance: bringing financial services to those traditionally excluded from banking.
Money isn't just a way to express value. It's also a system of control. Those who control money wield immense power.
The light of truth must shine in the darkest corners of governance.
As we speak truth to power, let us also speak truth in power.
Friends, our #Quaker testimony of peace extends to the realm of politics. Let us seek ways to govern that do not rely on force or coercion.
Let us not be entangled in the strife of parties. Our allegiance is to truth, not to factions or worldly ideologies.
Found this yesterday. Still trying to figure out what it is.
True governance comes not from presidents or kings or billionaires, but from heeding the Inner Light that guides all.
To live free is to live in accordance with one's conscience, guided by the Inner Light, not by the dictates of mere humans.
The Spirit of Truth is the spirit of freedom. Where it dwells, no oppressor can long endure.
In silence, we find the voice of freedom. In stillness, we discover the strength to stand against tyranny.
True freedom comes not from without, but from within. It is the Light that guides us through the darkness.
War is not the answer. 🕊️
