Another great episode ! I recommend this episode to: @BlokchainB @ek @Scoresby and any other stacker (that consider himself a bitcoiner) that is tempted to take a fiat loan. This guy, Neal Flesher is talking exactly about what I was screaming out loud on SN for ages.
Today's guest on the show is Author Neal Flesher, who joins me to talk about how every one of us has been enslaved against our knowledge.
Neal's book Modern Chains guides you through the history and definition of slavery. It is not hyperbole to label us all slaves; it is philosophically and literally true.
First, you have to understand how and why, before you can conclude for yourself how you have been coerced with debasement and usury and how to escape it.

The amount of muted messages from a gov agent to your comment video is staggering. Shows how much they want to suppress the truth to be out there.

These guys are unbelievably entitled. They moan about paying taxes and the fiat system extracting value via debasement yet they ignore the benefit they enjoy by being US citizens. The author worked for the US military and thus was paid with money sourced from taxes charged against other Americans. He worked for the US military to help it enforce its global dominance and perpetuate its global military and fiat monetary extraordinary privilege. The blindness and ignorance in this video is extreme and dangerous in its lack of self consciousness.

In talking about fiat slavery and subjugation the author seems blind to how the US empire uses its military and monetary hegemony to enslave and subjugate almost all other nations. Monetary and military power projection and systems are highly aligned... The authors analysis does not recognise and explore this.

Fiat money is a powerful monetary lever and can be used for good or bad purposes. In the west it is being mostly used to inflate the price of non productive speculative assets rather than investing in productive infrastructure. China is mostly using fiat monetary leverage to increase its competitive advantage and thus is reaping increasing economic power and wealth. Presenting Bitcoin as a response to the western abuse of fiat monetary leverage is valid- presenting it as a logical response to the rise of Chinese power wealth and hegemony is not so much. But then most Bitcoiners ignore China and its economic growth and success- because they simply cannot accept that a mixed, planned economy could be a threat- but the reality is that it is. The Chinese are doing capitalism and fiat better- much better than the west. If we were to revert to a Bitcoin Standard that would improve the wests position over time but it would probably not prevent China from continuing to gain the upper hand as it already is.

Flesher is proud of his time with the US military- being part of the US empires projection of power which enables the Petrodollar and US wealth and hegemony.
Does he see this irony?

Have been listening to the book lately (Modern Chains - Flesher) and it is pretty long winded and convoluted tbh. Agree on the basics but like many of these Bitcoin centred polemics it ignores the significance of how humans have always organised into groups to leverage individual power and organise into nation states for the purpose of gaining territory, security amnd access to resources and scales of economy. In a real sense human trade off some freedoms in order to enjoy the wealth and security that membership to groups (nation states) can provide. As individuals we are very weak and vulnerable and cannot logically invest in the complex capital structures and infrastructure that today generate most wealth.

Yes I agree- the fiat debt slavery bankers cartel has succeeded in enslaving most people and their governments into debt bondage slavery. Bitcoin is a good response to this but whether it can succeed against the power of the Jewish Bankers is debatable. IMO the greater threat to the Jewish Bankers is China- who do not allow themselves to be enslaved to the debt bondage puppeteers of Western Imperialism for the last 500 years. Whether its Bitcoin or China that defeat the Jewish Bankers Cartel remains to be seen- but most Bitcoiner are blind to the true dynamics behind this power struggle.
