The Cost of Dissent

Canadian authorities are now equating dissent to terrorism, and they are using this as an excuse to come down hard on anyone opposed to their plans for the future. Any kind of contribution or statement in favor of the opposition can result in the loss of one's job and the confiscation of one's savings.

It's now up to the tyrants in power to decide who gets to live in relative freedom and who won't, and a likely extension to their rules will be to include vaccine hesitancy in their list of unacceptable behavior. Hence, anyone who's even a little hesitant to taking the annual boosters, should take the necessary precautions to avoid crippling loss of freedom. Money should be withdrawn from banks, and savings should be put into gold and silver.

Canada is one of the most civilized places on our planet, so if this kind of tyranny is in the works over there, it's likely in the works everywhere. We should not think ourselves safe just because we're not in Canada. People everywhere should take basic precautions. What used to be a quirky idea entertained by a small minority of dissenters is suddenly something that should concern us all. Everyone should own a few gold and/or silver coins.

This idea should be spread as much as possible because genuine freedom is directly linked to the soundness of money. A rush to acquire physical gold and silver will therefore have the effect of forcing the hands of governments. This is an aspect we don't have to explain to anyone, because it's both too subversive and a too complicated to understand for the average citizen. However, it's something we should be aware of ourselves. Physical gold and silver is not merely an insurance against government overreach. It's at the heart of any monetary system, regardless of what authorities may claim.

Remember that all things are priced in a hierarchy. There will always be a relationship between silver and eggs, bread, meat and the like. There will also be a relationship between gold, cars, houses and capital goods. However, there's not necessarily a relationship between these things and fiat money. The only connection between the physical world and the world of fiat lies in the trust we have in the system. If trust is lost, the system collapses, and all it takes for this to happen is that either gold or silver becomes impossible to obtain for fiat.

If there's a persistent disconnect between fiat and nature's own money, fiat loses it's purchasing power, not only in respect to gold and silver, but everything else as well. We get what's commonly called hyperinflation. The money that the tyrants rely on for their power becomes worthless, and they can no longer pay for anything. Liberty is thus restored.

Keep in mind that most people don't actually want liberty, so there's no point in explaining this crucial connection to the average Joe. However, people do want freedom for themselves. They are also greedy. They will therefore accept the basic premise, including the likely upside potential for gold and silver as investments now that a lot of people are going to buy it as protection.

If we focus on simple arguments that appeal to people's selfishness, we may achieve far more than we expected, and certainly a lot more than what can be achieved by going into the detailed complexity of our current monetary system.
