No, you complete and utter imbecile. Free speech means people may exchange ideas on any terms free from government interference. Political leaders imposing or preferencing the terms they like best is the exact opposite of that.
Jesus is born. You are forgiven. God loves you, he hasn't forgotten about you, and he has a great plan for you!
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!
Literally everything is questionable now. The lines between fact and fiction have become blurred. What our leaders and mainstream media peddle as the truth is often misinformation. And what is really the truth is smeared as misinformation. In an era of rolling news and social media, the bamboozle has captured us. In particular, our ‘elites’ masquerading their greed as virtue.
The modern world is a simulacrum, where reality has been replaced by false messaging and imagery, to such an extent that one cannot distinguish between the real and the unreal. And as a result of this, everyone squabbles through the prism of their own confirmation biases to claim what they consider to be their own truths, when actually they are blindsided by their own false superiority of sanctimony and virtue.
We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control and money, and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. And that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe. And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.
These people are not our friends. Their primary objective is to hoodwink us into believing and complying to their virtue, but in reality being tricked into giving away more freedoms, power, wealth and assets to these virtue vultures.
The reality of all of this is that we are sleepwalking towards the biggest asset grab in the history of the planet. They are trying to destroy farms, land, businesses, freedoms, housing, individual wealth, travel and own them or sell them off to the highest bidder. And at the same time, they are trying to ring-fence society into the entrapment of being controlled by data – either through health passports or the slow mission creep towards central banking digital currencies (CBDCs). It’s a giant asset grab of what we own and control. They frame all of this being in our best interests. But it’s the biggest swindle ever.
This gargantuan virtue con-trick also comes with a huge slice of authoritarianism. Anyone who sees through it, questions it, stands up to it or shows opposition to it are immediately ridiculed and ostracised by the group-think mob:
Question the Covid response? “Covidiot”
Question the wars? “Putin apologist”
“Antisemite”
Question net zero? “Climate change denier”
This is gutter politics designed to shut down and undermine any opposition or questioning.
But not questioning the narrative is a huge form of denial. Because any government, technocrat or organisation that advocates medical discrimination, suppression of civil liberties and a transfer of wealth and public assets to the rich while the rest of society endures a cost of living crisis is not your friend. Don’t be fooled by their virtue. It’s a giant con. In reality, they are indulging in a massive asset grab. They are treating the world as feudal overlords indulging in their own personal fiefdoms while us plebs are left to feed off the crumbs from their table – but all under the guise of “it’s for our own good” or “safety” while pretending to be humanistic and empathetic convincingly, along with glib charm, is the primary weapon that power hungry sociopaths use along with dogmatic zealotry.
Fake virtue peddled by governments, rulers and authorities for mass compliance and social control is oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook. Don’t be fooled by it. Don’t sleepwalk towards it. Because when totalitarianism arrives, it will come cloaked in virtue.
@FilanLaw@SECGov And the worst part about this outside the unjust treatment of good actors trying to build in America is the tax payers $ wasted on the public servants and their clogging up the legal system
As many of you know, prior to running for U.S. Senate, I’ve been doing pro bono work in several securities cases involving blockchain technology and digital assets a/k/a cryptocurrencies.
First, I filed a Writ of Mandamus against the @SECGov. Shortly thereafter, and on behalf of tens of thousands of individual users, developers, and small investors, I filed a Motion to Intervene in @SECGov 🆚 @Ripple, regarding the digital asset #XRP.
Incredibly, 75 thousand regular people joined me.
In @SECGov 🆚 @LBRYcom, an American startup trying to compete with @Google’s @YouTube, I also served as amicus counsel on behalf of @naomibrockwell, a citizen journalist and other individual users of the #LBC token.
I filed an amicus brief in both cases and participated in oral argument in the LBRY case. I did this work without being paid because someone needed to stand up against the gross government overreach.
My claim of government overreach and misconduct by SEC lawyers was corroborated in the Ripple case by a federal judge who declared that @GaryGensler, @SECEnfDirector, as well as others at the SEC “lacked faithful allegiance to the law.” Later, those same people at the SEC would be described as “arbitrary and capricious” by an appellate court. A third federal judge, actually sanctioned the SEC for intentionally lying to the Court.
In the @Ripple case, Judge Torres, a lifelong Democratic Judge, recommended by @SenGillibrand and appointed by @BarackObama, not only agreed with my amicus brief when she ruled “#XRP itself is NOT a security” but also cited the nearly 4K affidavits I submitted in the case, as well as cited my efforts in the @LBRYcom case. I’m very proud of my work helping small investors and users of the technologies.
Also, prior to running for U.S. Senate, I agreed to represent @coinbase customers as potential amici curiae in the @SECGov 🆚 @coinbase case. Below👇 is a thread from June 2023 allowing Coinbase customers to sign up if they wanted to have their voices heard in Court. It is extremely important for end users of the technology to be represented and not allow a biased and politically motivated agency speak for them. But that doesn’t mean they want Coinbase to speak for them either.
The SEC has unlimited resources, paid for by the taxpayer, and Coinbase is a multibillion dollar company with the best lawyers money can buy. The consumers deserve an advocate and a voice as well.
Coinbase filed a request for permission to file an interlocutory appeal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in the hope of receiving regulatory clarity for the digital asset space.
As I detail in the 🧵 below, in 2021 the SEC approved the IPO for Coinbase to go public. Two years later, the SEC claimed Coinbase’s entire business model was and is illegal. @GaryGensler changed his mind because of a political agenda. And we all know which U.S. Senator is running her reelection on an anti-crypto platform.
Minutes ago, I filed an Amicus Brief on behalf of 4,701 Coinbase customers.
Those individuals deserve a voice and I will continue to be that voice. For the last 22 years, I’ve represented Mesothelioma victims against major corporations and Insurance companies. Before that, I served 7 years on active duty in the USMC as a Judge Advocate. Before that, I grew up in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America and escaped generational poverty. I’ve been fighting all my life for the little guy and the underdog and that won’t change when I get to the U.S. Senate.
@24hrscrypto1@FilanLaw@Ripple I’m just so amazed someone with authority and BALLS would deal with the unethical behaviour of the #SEC . Its disgusting !!!
