Assange has fallen into the mud. He won't be returning into the ranks. That's the nature of this thing. We are winning. But the losses mount. What did you think it means to take on The BIS? "They lie to justify their violence and commit violence to support their lies." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn. I happen to believe the Age of Lies is in its twighlight

Government/Fed (don't be fooled, they are the same) KNOW they need to start printing money VERY soon. When they do - #Bitcoin, Gold, Silver (and probably oil and most other commodities) will absolutely go crazy. And if they don't start printing BEFORE the debt defaults start (research the Bond market) the amount they need to print will be obscene. They already need $20 trillion to save the system. It could be magnitude HIGHER if even a few trillion of that move to Bitcoin and Gold - and it will. Everyone asks, why is the Government borrowing so much, they are fighting the Fed. The Government spending is all that is keeping the system alive right now - and it's taking trillions to keep it alive during the 'good times' - The whole thing is unbelievable. My question is this: What is the alternative? I just don't see one and no way they can shut down Bitcoin.

I agree. But I’m not afraid to admit that I’m scared. I don’t want to risk my family’s wealth on being “too smart by half”. We have so much truth behind us, but also so much risk ahead. We have Plan B’s,still we want to stand firm. Yet when the artillery hits us - hits us all - for real, will we have a battle plan then? That’s what I worry about. We’re up against a machine that has ground-down COUNTLESS “insurgencies”. Bitcoiner’s need to get serious about hodling long-term, verses selling in fear. And I don’t think we are. The deep-state doesn’t actually want to imprison us, imo, they want us to sell or give our BTC to them. They want the Bitcoin. That’s the end-goal. They’ll use KYC to force cap-gains taxes on everyone who bought on an exchange (which Michael Saylor will likely be a willing partisan to). They’ll vilify Bitcoin across the Western world, turning our families against us, labeling us “terrorists” or “racists” or whatever. And the no-coiners will WELCOME this. The war has just begun. We will become the target for every Evil that they themselves have perpetrated. That’s their stock in trade. They blame others for what they themselves are doing. Normal people are never prepared to deal with Sociopaths. That’s what Sociopaths count upon. And yes, we will win. But Bitcoiners pretend they’re ready for war. Few of us are battle-hardened for what is happening now, myself included. When the arrests continue, how many will wave the white flag, and comply? How many will give over their cold-storage vs going to jail? And does that depend on pre-planning to have your cold-wallet outside your home, and your family knows where to find it and how to access it? Very very few of us I fear are ready for this. Yet this is the line we now need to draw as human beings.

Well, good for you. You know what you're here for. Harden up. Start with your soul. Do you think that Creation is good? Are you aligned with good? What do you need to do to become better aligned today? Tomorrow?

Recent inflation and GDP numbers hit this week. Inflation is climbing and GDP is sagging. This whole system is at a tipping point. Also, re-election prospects look grim for current administration. They’ll have to engage in more massive voter fraud to the tens of millions of votes to manufacture a win for the President.
