The optimist and pragmatist in me: this could be huge for locating missing and kidnapped people. The realist and doomer in me: this will 100% be manipulated to further cow and shackle people under the guise of “security.” I hope for the former, but know the likely outcome will be the latter.

The latter - how do they get the money and develop the systems to do this? Politicians have power because we provide them money to control us. That can be taken away - the good guys have always eventually won! What makes u think that will change? What if politicians in the near future (less than a generation) can’t print their own wealth anymore?

We’ve been told the good guys have won, but modern history paints a different picture. As far back a WWII we have seen a government ready to throw lives away to fund the war industry, print and launder money, and consolidate power/strip freedoms on a global scale. I don’t disagree that taking away their money prevents this, but I have a hard time seeing how, in the short term that happens. My concern is that by the time their money dries up it could be too late.

I totally agree with what you are saying. The 'good guys' have not won so far - because the people in charge now are the bad guys! What I'm saying is they will eventually lose. to your point, it may be too late. Right now, it's too late for the bad guys to win. We have breached the event horizon on Government borrowing money - $1 trillion the last 100 days. It's over - people just can't see it or feel it. The ONLY way for them to lose is to have more people EXIT the US$ system (the base layer of the Elites control world wide). Go to #Bitcoin sooner to fix the problem. We can NOT win inside the current financial system. Read TONS of books on Bitcoin so you know it's the solution - it won't jump out at someone at first.
