TONIGHT TRUMP THREATENS TO DESTROY A CIVILIZATION. IAN FREEMAN IS IN A CAGE FOR PREACHING BITCOIN NOT BOMBS.
Ian Freeman spent twenty years behind a microphone calling for peace.
He introduced me to the Free State Project. He is probably responsible for 10% of the people who moved to New Hampshire. He hosted the first radio show to ever cover Bitcoin. Before anyone. He preached that Bitcoin could undermine the warmonger state. That sound money could starve the war machine. Bitcoin, not bombs.
He fed parking meters for strangers. They called him the Robin Hood of Keene. He built a church. Funded an orphanage in Uganda. Forbes called his town a crypto mecca.
Biden's DOJ sent rifles and a tank to his door at 6am. They charged him with money laundering. The judge threw those charges out. Not enough evidence. They sentenced him to 96 months anyway. For laws written before Bitcoin existed.
Tonight at 8pm, the President's deadline for Iran expires. He said "a whole civilization will die tonight." Bridges. Power plants. The lives of 90 million people.
Ian Freeman preached for two decades that there was a better way. That you could fight for freedom without dropping a single bomb. That Bitcoin was the tool of peace, not the tool of criminals.
They put him in a cage for it.
Trump freed Ross Ulbricht. He said the war on crypto was over.
It is not over.
