Tik Tok Ban? RESTRICT Act Could Censor Everything In Your Life
Patriot Act on steroids
(👆Listen to audio version of me reading)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Remember the 20-year war we spent trillions of dollars of our time and energy (not to mention lives lost) on trying to search caves and going door to door trying to stop “terrorism.”
Remember how we NEEDED to pass the Patriot Act because of “bad guys” that were US citizens that needed to be spied on, and government PROMISED they wouldn’t do it to any good people…
Remember when we forgot to ask who they deemed “good” and “bad” people.
Remember when they created homeland security and took more power from people by bloating government even more?
Remember when this regime in the middle east just gave our enemies billions in equipment, vehicles, ammo, and weapons, and left our allies like sitting ducks?
Well these same government geniuses have a NEW proposal that will be sure to knock your socks off and silently steal even more of your freedoms and rights than previous bills that almost no one will care about it until it is too late.

RESTRICT Act
Operations in the past 12 months aimed at trying to reign in the free flow of money and information.
If I didn’t know any better I would think the government thinks they are more important than we are?
Nothing to do with Tik Tok
The RESTRICT Act is a proposed legislation that would give the government unprecedented control over every aspect of your life.
Similar to the Patriot ACT, which was passed in the fear and fog of war after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the RESTRICT Act seeks to expand government surveillance and limit individual freedoms the likes of which we may never recover from.
The main difference between the two acts is that the RESTRICT Act goes much further than the Patriot ACT ever did.
While the Patriot ACT mainly targeted foreign threats, the RESTRICT Act would apply to all Americans and give the government almost unlimited power to monitor and control their online activities.
Under the RESTRICT Act, the government could monitor all online activity, including social media posts, emails, and web browsing history, without a warrant or any probable cause.
They would also have the power to shut down websites and social media accounts that they deem to be "dangerous" or "disruptive," without any judicial oversight.
This level of government control is not only a violation of individual privacy and freedom of speech, but it also sets a dangerous precedent for government overreach and abuse of power.
Now may be a good time for us to remember that the government is supposed to work for the people, not the other way around.
To put it frankly, the RESTRICT Act, if passed, would give the government unprecedented power to control and manipulate the population.
Potential consequences of such legislation.
History has shown us that when governments are given too much power, they often abuse it.
The RESTRICT Act has the potential to be used to silence political dissidents, suppress free speech, and even spy on innocent citizens without cause or justification.
Depending on the regime, any one could be a political dissident.
Depending on the “crisis” they already censor any speech they don’t like.
This WILL get worse and you will have NO recourse if passed.
The RESTRICT Act is a clear threat to our civil liberties and individual freedoms.
We must remain vigilant and push back against any legislation that seeks to undermine our rights and freedoms in the digital age.
“Seeing what is in the bill only AFTER we pass it,” is NO longer an option.
Looking at you Nancy, and EVERY member of congress.
Remember rights come from God, not from government. They aren’t inherently given anything unless it comes from the people.
As Ben Franklin told us, “those that seek to give up liberty for some perceived security will get none. And deserve neither.”
When did we become so comfortable with collectivists running our lives like we are all children?
It seems like every other day there's news of a new site being banned or restricted.
From TikTok to Nord VPNs to TSA, it's becoming increasingly clear that we live in a world where control is valued over protection.
If we really want to solve the root causes of issues, we need to take a step back and examine the bigger picture.
It's tempting to just slap a bandaid on a bullet hole, but we all know that doesn't solve anything.
It's time to start putting in the work to address the underlying problems.
We're constantly looking for shortcuts and quick fixes.
We're popping pills to get our six packs instead of putting in the work at the gym.
And then we wonder why things only seem to get worse.
It's not just about TikTok and fines.
We need to be careful about what's happening around the corner.
These bans and restrictions are just distractions from what's really going on.
They know that people would flock to the real issues, so they're trying to cover them up.
Issues like CBDC (central bank digital currency) or FEDnow the government is trying to roll out this year.
This would give the government complete power and control over your wealth.
They could shut your off of your bank accounts or speed up or slow down your inflation because of the color of your skin or what you said on social media.
Again, money doesn’t come from government.
They are they to help facilitate the flow of money. Money comes from value creation (our time and energy) and the transactions between two willing participants.
Trial balloons
It's important to remember that these bans and restrictions won't pass, at least not in their current form.
They're just trial balloons, testing the waters to see what the public reaction will be.
And once things die down, they'll try to push these same ideas through in pieces, stuffed into omnibus bills or other legislation.
It's time to follow the money, not the science.
We need to take a step back and start planning for chaos before the peace and abundance.
Only by taking a critical eye to the issues at hand can we hope to create a better world for ourselves and future generations.
Stay tuned for next missive as we will go through a brief list on how to prepare for chaos and thrive because of it!
From great chaos comes great opportunity.
Stay strong,
