IF I tell you that you can do this, but you can't do that, then I prove that not doing as you are told comes with consequences, would you consider yourself free?
IF I strong armed your employer into giving me 50% of your wages, but you got no choice in the matter, would you consider yourself free?
What is it going to take for you to recognize that you are not free and to do something about it?
'But, but, anti, I am weak and all alone.'
No, you are not.
Those are things you have been trained to tell yourself to justify your inactions.
You are the most powerful being in your life.
Changing you, changes everything around you.
You have been fed a delusion by people more in tune with the reality around us.
They feed you this delusion because it makes you prey to their predator.
Ask yourself, if you could commit any crime with impunity would you be strong enough to resist the allure of power?
Don't kid yourself.
It is a rare creature that doesn't get the big head.
When people start to recognize you as important the temptation to use power to increase your pleasure goes off the charts.
This is why one should never give others power.
Power corrupts.
Take back your power, dear reader, it's as simple as hoarding your coins.
Just using cash instead of making a record of everything you buy commercially available to anybody that wants to spend the few bucks to find out where, when, and what you bought for lunch on the second tuesday of may is a step in the right direction.
IF everybody in your neighborhood starting doing this we would see changes taking place immediately.
Why would anybody want to know all that about little 'ol you?
The office of total information awareness in the pentagon doesn't ask why, it just does what it is told.
Big bro needs to know.™
The gov't may not sell your data to the chinese, but the corporations that they bought it from have.
Corporations only care about the money.
That is 'the law'.
So, when you don't use cash you are giving many data points about you to big bro for free.
When you don't hoard your change you allow the banks to have less value invested in the monetary system that they control.
They set the value of your dollar.
Get some of that value back by keeping it in your change jar.
Hoarding change forces the banksters to come out of their own pockets to buy that change from the mint.
Banks buy coins at face value.
Take back this power in your life.
Tell your friends about it, too.
But, only if you want your freedom back from the control freaks that will kill you to control you.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
