Everytime We Trade a Bit of Freedom for Security...

in #freedomlast year

Not so long ago, I mentioned in one of my posts that the current events unfolding in France are part of a grand design to consolidate centralized power and exert control over the masses. The ongoing immigration is not simply chaos, but rather a deliberate strategy.

You've probably heard the famous quote, "order after chaos," and it's through this lens that we can understand how a new world order may be implemented by those in positions of power (not necessarily the official political figures). Chaos is already rampant in France, where migrants clash with the citizens of their host countries, and the police find themselves caught in the middle.

According to Zerohedge's article, French Cops Can Now Secretly Activate Phone Cameras, Microphones, and GPS to Spy on Citizens, this development raises concerns about the emergence of an Orwellian dystopia. Passports were initially introduced as a temporary measure after World War II, yet they have persisted. Likewise, many security measures at airports were implemented following 9/11 and remain in place to this day.

The fight against terrorism has always been used as a means to deceive people into surrendering their freedom in exchange for security. We witnessed a similar scenario with the COVID-19 pandemic, and now we face yet another challenge. Considering the near-ubiquity of smartphones in our lives, the recent permission granted to the police to remotely access key features of these devices is cause for concern. Let us hope that Orwell's prophecies do not come to fruition.

The bill allows the geolocation of crime suspects, covering other devices like laptops, cars and connected devices, just as it could be remotely activated to record sound and images of people suspected of terror offences, as well as delinquency and organised crime. -People's Gazette

According to French digital rights advocacy group, La Quadrature du Net, the provisions "raise serious concerns over infringements of fundamental liberties," and violate the "right to security, right to a private life and to private correspondence" and "the right to come and go freely." The group called it part of a "slide into heavy-handed security."

Lawmakers defended the move - with Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti insisting that the bill would only apply to "dozens of cases a year," while members of parliament inserted an amendment inserted an amendment which only allows the remote spying "when justified by the nature and seriousness of the crime" and "for a strictly proportional duration" after a judge has approved the surveillance.

Lawmakers also insisted that sensitive professions, such as journalists, judges, lawyers, doctors and MPs would not be legitimate targets, People's Gazette reports.

The same narrative unfolds in the world of cryptocurrency. The relentless oppression and disgrace faced by exchanges at the hands of regulators is justified by claims of "cryptos being used for money laundering and funding terrorist acts." But let's call it what it is: pure bullshit. The truth is, terrorism and money laundering were prevalent long before the advent of crypto.

Many terrorist groups have historically received funding from governmental entities like the CIA, and this predates the existence of cryptocurrencies. It's an age-old arrangement. Just take a look at the origins of Osama Bin Laden, who was nurtured by the CIA.

Most people fail to grasp the extent to which the establishment is determined to gain absolute control over our private lives. If they truly understood, they would flock to cryptocurrencies, embracing decentralized platforms that uphold freedom of speech and distancing themselves from anything mainstream. Recent news has shed light on Instagram's "Twitter-like" app, Threads (ironic name choice), already censoring users. This serves as a stark reminder of the importance of decentralized governance and the pursuit of financial freedom in the booming crypto industry.

I might come across as doom and gloom at times, but I prefer to stay prepared and well-informed rather than caught off guard when things go south. The future holds tremendous opportunities for crypto, and being aware of the potential pitfalls is crucial as we navigate this transformative landscape.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

I think my habit of "accidentally" leaving my phone on the desk in my office looks increasingly sensible. It won't know where I am, and will only listen in on business conversations not private ones.

I think I am starting to display seriously Luddite tendencies. It'll trash my social credit score, but that's probably a price worth paying....

When the Government is the terrorist 🙄
They're trying to bring in the 15 min passport.

The public servants need 247 monitoring and scrutiny.

Look at this - The Covid Money Trail 💰

Very few have to see this though...
