1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Can you imagine a world where every move you make 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: is watched, it's controlled, it's restricted, sort of like what 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: you might have heard about or remembered about communism. Maybe 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: you remember a time when Germany was divided down the 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: middle by what was called the Iron Curtain. Well, welcome 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: to a new era of what's shaped up to be 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: the digital equivalent, or a digital iron curtain. The iron 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: curtain is being built as we speak and is ready 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: to go into place, and it could have the exact 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: same disastrous effects that the previous iron curtain had, only 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: this time it could last much longer because the cost 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: we would call it the return on violence, is lower. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: We're going to break this down for you. 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about what is going on with 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: this digital iron curtain. What's going on, why would they 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: want something like this, How we can well. 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: We look at the historical parallels. 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: We'll look at how we can see this iron curtain 19 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: being built right now in front of us, what the 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: battleground is, and what we can do about it. We're 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: going to cover a whole lot of ground here. If 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Mass Show. 23 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: We're always talking about the decentralized revolution. Now the world 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: is changing as we look at through the lens of politics, finance, 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: and technology, and boy oh boys, politics, finance and technology 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: converging right now. And in this story we're going to 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: break it down. It is very very important, all right, 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: So let's talk about first of all, this Iron Curtain. 29 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who you are, where you are, how 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: old you are, and if you remember what the Iron curtain, 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: as we're talking about the original one in Europe, right, 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: it was really split Berlin down in Germany, split it 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: right down the middle, you know, real quickly. I remember 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: as a kid growing up hearing about this, and I 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: remember hearing how like the Iron Curtain was like almost 36 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: just like put up overnight, and how all of a 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: sudden people couldn't go from the east side to the 38 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: west side anymore. And I can remember still like as 39 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: a kid, thinking like, oh my gosh, like what if 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I was at my friend's house spend the night and 41 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden I couldn't get back across 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: the wall, And again, like this just shows to me anyway, 43 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: it highlights the type of education I received and kids 44 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: like in my age, we grew up with versus today 45 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: where most kids don't even probably know about the Iron 46 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: Curtain or understand that. In my opinion, I think the 47 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Iron Curtain is one of the best examples that really 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: highlights that ideology is more important than geology. So we 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 1: talk about the United States is blessed because the land 50 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: mass we have in the arable land and blah blah blah, 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: surrounded by two oceans and all this compared to other 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: countries for example. But what we can see is that 53 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: it's ideology. 54 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: It's ideas. 55 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: It's the way that we think changes things more than 56 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: the geography or where we're at. And so, like I said, 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: Germany is like the best example this because you took 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the same country, the exact same geography, with the exact 59 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: same people whatever you want to call it, the same race, 60 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: the same you know, religion, the same culture, same everything, identical. 61 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this couldn't be a better ab test. South 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: of North Korea, I guess it's also pretty good as well, 63 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: and that's still going on, but basically at this country. 64 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: And then you put the line down the middle and 65 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: one side had a different ideology than the other side. 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: One side went socialist, communist, state controlled centrally planned, let's 67 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: call it centrally planned. These words get very convoluted, you know, socialism, fascism, communism, 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: what's the difference. They're all state controlled, state planned demand economies, 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: as we'd call them. The other side, the other ideology 70 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: was democracy, capitalism or freedom if you will, so non 71 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: state owned or controlled. So these are the two ideologies 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: that we. 73 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 2: Had, all right. 74 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: Now, the Iron Curtain really was popularized by Winston Churchill 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: back then in nineteen forty six, and basically what happened 76 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: during that time is that this Iron Curtain started kind 77 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: of opening up across the European continent and it was 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: basically separating the communists, the Soviet controlled e, from the 79 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: freedom democratic West. 80 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: Now, the Iron Curtain at the time. 81 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: It symbolized, like I said, this ideological conflict, but it 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: was also a physical boundary. So it was a physical 83 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: boundary that then split these ideologies in two in two 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: separate areas. And this was at the end of World 85 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: War Two in nineteen forty five until the end of 86 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the Cold War in nineteen ninety one. All right, now, 87 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: this divided Europe and it wasn't, like I said, just 88 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: a physical barrier, barrier which it was. It was a 89 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: physical barrier, so it had fortifications, had fences, it had 90 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: arm guards, it. 91 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: Had all those. 92 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: But it was the ideological division between communism and democracy 93 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: that did that. And basically, if we want to look 94 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: at it in the terms of how we're using this 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: as the new type of Iron curtain, the digital iron curtain, 96 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: is it restricted movement and freedom. Okay, that's what the 97 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: iron curtain did, restricted freedom of movement, and it restricted 98 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: all those things, separated families like I said, I was 99 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: afraid of that was like kay, it limited trade, it's 100 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: stifled cultural exchanges. And we can see that between the two, 101 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: these ideologies led to two different outcomes, right, These restrictions 102 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: on freedoms, these ideologies created two different outcomes for the 103 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: exact same population, the exact same race, the exact same culture, 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: the exact same everything. And that's exactly what we're seeing today. 105 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: We are seeing as digital iron curtain going today. That 106 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: is separating us in whatever country you're in in the 107 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: United States and separating us the same country, the same culture, 108 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: raised on the same things, and now it's separating us 109 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: into two different ideological camps. So we have the same geography, 110 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: but now we have two different ideologies, and I'm afraid 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: history doesn't rhyme or repeat. It rhymes, and I'm afraid 112 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: these rhymes that we're seeing are going to lead to 113 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: a very similar thing. Now we're talking about again the 114 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: digital Iron Curtain, creating digital barriers that will stop financial 115 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: technology from working, that will stop news, information and media 116 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: from happening, That will stop us our ability to exchange 117 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: freely move ideas, and that will include, just like the 118 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: previous Iron Curtain, or on the east side of the 119 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: Iron Curtain, massive amounts of control, massive amounts of surveillance, 120 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: massive amount of restrictions, which, of course, I mean even 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: just saying that out loud, I don't know how you 122 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: think about listening to it, But even just saying that 123 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: out loud, if you have one side that has massive 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: restrictions on movement, on finances, very restrictive, lots of surveillance, 125 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: just naturally you have to understand that that is not 126 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: going to flourish as much as a free side that 127 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: allows for creativity and for you know, for freedom, that 128 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: allows for exchange, free exchange of ideas, that allows feedback 129 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: loops to happen in real time, allows competition, think about that. 130 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't take a genius I'll have to do. 131 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: Just think about that a little bit. 132 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: And like I said, we've seen it throughout history over 133 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: and over and over again. And really it's this finance 134 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: or this digital Iron curtain is coming to place. It's 135 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: not just about you know, separating us down our ideological 136 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: lines and preventing a free flow of information, but also 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: our financial privacy. We have CBDCs coming into place that 138 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: want to be you know, be used as governments, as 139 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: tools to control, surveil, censor, all of those things, just 140 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: like in Aaron curtain. Now, unfortunately, technology has advanced so 141 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: much today that it's much easier, much more effective for 142 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: nations to have this surveillance state, this power and control 143 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: that they had that they have today than it was 144 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: in the past. And so I talked about this return 145 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: on violence, if you will, and so it's like your return, 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: how much do we have to spend and what do 147 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: we get back? So in the Cold War era, you know, 148 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: it was expensive, it was hard, it was it wasn't 149 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: efficient to run this surveillance state. But today, with technology, 150 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: it costs almost nothing in order to do that. And 151 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: really it's the difference of freedom or non freedom. It's 152 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: capitalism versus socialism again. It's this ideological battle. Capitalism being 153 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: defined as having private ownership, having my private property, owning 154 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: the means of my production right having competition, and socialism. 155 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: The other ideology, if you will, again is state ownership, 156 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: production in the hands of the state, not having a 157 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: free market that's able to compete, and of course competition 158 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: is what always brings us better products and service and prices. 159 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: During the Cold War, they've predicted that people from the 160 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: free part would try to get over to the communist 161 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: controlled part to steal from them because they were gonna 162 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: have so much abundance. It never worked out that way. 163 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: They didn't have new cars, they didn't have new buildings, 164 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: the stores fell into disrepair, and it was the people 165 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: from the communist side that were killed in mass trying 166 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: to get over to the free side. All the guns 167 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: and all the barbed wire that was supposed to keep 168 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: the capitalist people out from coming in pillaging the communist 169 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: side actually worked to keep the communist side in. That's 170 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: how it worked. When I grow up, I remember my 171 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: parents tell me, remember walls work two ways. They can 172 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: keep people out, but they also keep people in which 173 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why I've never been a 174 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: super big fan of this wall on the southern border. 175 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: But that's a whole nother story, because we have a 176 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: big problem there as well. If you're just tune in, 177 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Mark mas Show, We're breaking down 178 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: this concept of a digital iron curtain that's being erected 179 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna break it down for you to 180 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: show you what's going on. You don't want to miss it, 181 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: don't go away. 182 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back. 183 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 184 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: Maas Show, we're talking about the digital Iron Curtain. We're 185 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: talking about how it is being erected right now today, 186 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: dividing ideologies, not geography, but ideologies, and I'm afraid it 187 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: might have the same disastrous outcome as the previous Iron 188 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Curtain had if we don't do something about it now. 189 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Looking at some of the ways that we're already seeing 190 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: this start to get its footing. If you will, we're 191 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: gonna break it down, and it is gaining steam massively. 192 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: We're witnessing it over the battleground of Elon Musk and Twitter, 193 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: and I have a bunch of data to share with 194 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: you on that. It's pretty scary. But let's go back 195 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: sort of at the beginning. We're starting to see this 196 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: now from a financial side. In the United States, the 197 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: FIA Reserve is already launched their FED now. It's not 198 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: a central bank digital currency. It's not a CBDC, but 199 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: it's a start to that. It's like a quasi semi 200 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: potential and it allows the FED now to have enormous 201 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: control over the flow of money. So it's not a 202 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: full CBDC, it's not programmble, and it's not for retail use, 203 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: but it does give them some of the tools they 204 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: need for more censorship and control over the money supply. 205 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven. Now, some of the characteristics are 206 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I guess the banks can move money faster, like cool 207 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: for them, but it doesn't really help you and I, 208 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: which I guess at this point is good. I don't 209 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: really want that to happen. But what it does do 210 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: is it centralizes the power of the money. You see, 211 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: the banking system that we have today is very decentralized. Right. 212 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: We talk about the FED printing money, but that's not 213 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: actually how it works. The banks create money when they 214 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: issue loans, and so I have community banks in my 215 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: community that can issue me loans. They're creating money and 216 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: they decide that I, as a local resident, need this 217 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: money to have a relationship with them. They know my 218 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: local area, they decide to give me money. And so 219 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: it's a very decentralized nature the way that this banking 220 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: system work and the money is created. But what they 221 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: want to do is they want to centralize the control. 222 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 1: That's where it starts. So the first thing we have 223 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: to do is we have to centralize the power, and 224 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: then we can exert the power. Now, it's not without 225 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: mentioning that. In Karl Marx's book The Communist Manifesto, he 226 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: says that there was ten points in order to have communism. 227 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: Point number five was centralizing the means of credit. So 228 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: it was creating a central bank and centralizing all the 229 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: means of credit. So a central bank is a communist idea. 230 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: We have in the United States. A lot of people 231 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: think that the United States capitalism is failed, for example, 232 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: but we have seven of the ten points of communism 233 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: in the US. We're more quantitatively more communist than we 234 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: would be capitalists. From that standpoint, we want to centralize that, 235 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: and so the FED now is a big, big move 236 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: that starts to get us down that path. Some of 237 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: the other things that we see is that now with 238 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: FED now, it could start to crowd out the private sector, 239 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: so we could start to lower competition, which then leads 240 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: to less ingenuity and less price depreciation and things like that, 241 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: And so that's a really big move. On the other hand, 242 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: we also have the rise of a new police force 243 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: through Biden's IRA Inflation Production Act. They authorized eighty seven 244 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: thousand new armed IRS agents to come out and harass 245 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: you and hang you upside down by your feet and 246 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: shake the change out of your pockets and take it 247 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: from you. Any transaction to do over six hundred dollars. 248 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: They want to scrutinize. You know, heaven forbid use venmo 249 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: to pay someone for six hundred bucks when they send 250 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: billions and hundreds of billions of dollars overseas with zero accountability. 251 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: But now they have a new army, eighty seven thousand 252 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: new armed agents to come and again this is again 253 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: expanding the power of the centralized command center, sort of 254 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: like in East and West Berlin. They had to build 255 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: this new army to basically shake down and enforce compliance 256 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: on any activities. Now, of course, this is for your 257 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: good and your safety, because you want people to pay 258 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: their full taxes, right. I mean, someone's got to pay 259 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: for the roads, right, right, I mean you know roads 260 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: were there before the IRS. But you know, we'll go 261 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: with that narrative anyway. But they want to continue to 262 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: have enforced increased enforcement actions. They want auditing kept capacity, 263 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, more investigations. I don't know why they need 264 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: to be armed, but that appears to be the case 265 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: as well. But they also want increased financial surveillance. And 266 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: so now they're continue to pass more more bills in 267 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: order to surveil your transactions, not just with the IRS, 268 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: but all types of data analysis. They passed all types 269 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: of bills that go into cryptocurrency exchanges, things like that 270 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: force them to give you all their data, which leads 271 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: to all types of privacy concerns. Right. The way that 272 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: you have this control and power the centralized state is 273 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: by being able to surveil everything. So they need to 274 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: see everything. They see everything, they need to hear everything, 275 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: so they can stop and control everything. And so we 276 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: have this massive growth in the IRS as well. And 277 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: then it's even going global where now they want to 278 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: have global tax compliance and now they're trying to put 279 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: things into place like a global minimum tax, so you 280 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: can't even leave. 281 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: Let's just take. 282 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: Away, let's seal off the border to not allow people 283 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: to leave. So again we're talking about a digital iron curtain. 284 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: So like in the previousign currenty prevented movement, the digital 285 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: iron curtain sort of does the same thing, but it 286 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: really starts with that stepped up surveillance, the amount of 287 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: surveillance that the government has, like I said, the massive 288 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: encroachment into the new form of money of cryptocurrencies, things 289 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: like that. We've talked about Operation Choke Point, Operation Choke 290 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: point two point zero, where basically the government is trying 291 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: to stop the flow of money going from the traditional 292 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: banking system over into the cryptocurrency system. It's very difficult 293 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases depend on your bank. For example, 294 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: my bank in Puerto Rico won't allow me to wire 295 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: money to any business related to cryptocurrency. I use that 296 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: payment company to pay my contractors around the world, and 297 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: one of my contractors had a corporation with bitcoin in 298 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: the name, and when we tried to send them money, 299 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: just because bitcoin was in the name, they shut my 300 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: entire countdown. And so this financial system is now being 301 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: used as a way to control like an iron curtain 302 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: and prevent the flow of money going over into this 303 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: new system. We have massive amounts of SEC investigations piling up. 304 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: The SEC's ramped up its investigations and it's enforced actions 305 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: against all types of cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency token projects, things 306 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: like that. Lawsuits against Ripple coinbase, Binance, Cracking, all these things, 307 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of it just it just kind of 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: comes down to sort of like a shakedown or blackmail, 309 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: if you will. The SEC went after Cracking and got 310 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: him to pay them thirty million dollars so they wouldn't 311 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: come after them, and they paid that production money, and 312 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: now the SEC is back trying to get more money. 313 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Or look what happened with the SEC and Binance, where 314 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: supposedly Binance did something illegal and the head of Binance 315 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: cz instead of you know, going to court and going 316 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: to jail if he did something illegal, instead they just 317 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: shook him down and made them made him pay four 318 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: billion with a B four billion dollars and he was fine. 319 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: He just paid him off. Now he did have to 320 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: step down from his company, but he still owned still 321 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: kept the ownership, so he literally was a shakedown effort 322 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: and he paid four billion dollars and he got off. 323 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: So this is what we're seeing and not unlike what 324 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: you saw in the original Iron Curtain, where the government 325 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 1: continued to grow, they had to step up the amount 326 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: of enforcement officers they had. Then they had to continue 327 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: to enforce more strenuously, they had to have more surveillance, 328 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: and they had to shake down and control everyone they 329 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: could to bring. 330 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 2: More allies on to their side. 331 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: Now, at that time, they didn't have the technology that 332 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: we have, and so they basically would make everyone spy 333 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: on each other. I think it was like one out 334 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: of six people were basically working for the government as 335 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: spies at that time and something crazy like that because 336 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: they didn't have the technology. But in today's technology, it's 337 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: much more efficient. Back to that return on violence. Now, 338 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: I want to get into the very very specific ways 339 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: that this has been put into place. I have about 340 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: six different specific pieces I want to give you, including 341 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: what's happening with Twitter right now. I want to break 342 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: this down so you can actually see this going into 343 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: place right now literally and see the fence being erected. 344 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna cover that, but I gotta take a 345 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: very quick break, but don't go away. I'm going to 346 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: be right back after a quick quick break, So don't 347 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: go away. We're back, all right, Welcome back. If you're 348 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Mas Show. 349 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: We're talking about the digital Iron curtain that's being put 350 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: up right now, sort of like the Iron Curtain of 351 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: the Cold War era, but today it's being done digitally. 352 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: But it's not unlike that, where it's not about geography, 353 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: it's about ideology separating. So let's go now continue to 354 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: break down some specific cases. Now where things really really 355 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: really took a turn for the worse was after the 356 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and one World Trade Center bombing, and George 357 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: Bush put together a bill called the Patriot Act. Now, 358 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people remember, never forget, you know, nine 359 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: to eleven and all the people that died. I think 360 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: about freedom dying, all the freedom that died that day. 361 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: The Patriot Act was basically the largest bill that was 362 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: put into place, you know, for our freedom, of course, 363 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: but it gave the government all the tools they needed 364 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: to intercept and extruct terrorism, by of course spying on us, 365 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: by taking away our freedoms, by watching everything that we do. 366 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: Expanded the US government's authority to monitor and track, of course, 367 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: terrorist activities liberally using that word terrorist. Anybody that they 368 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: want to surveil, they can. And with all of that 369 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: surveillance then means. 370 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: The loss of your privacy. 371 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: Now there's increased surveillance powers through this Patriot Act allowed for, 372 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: of course, more surveillance so they could look at individuals, 373 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 1: the ability to tap your phones, monitory email communications, access 374 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: your personal records, all of it without a court order, 375 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: all of it without consent, taking away the checks and 376 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: balances that are supposed to be in our system, taking 377 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: away your privacy. You know, when they expand this surveillance, 378 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: you don't have privacy anymore. And of course you know, 379 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: if you've got nothing to hide, what do you care about? 380 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: Right? 381 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: What I would say to that is great, give me 382 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: your phone, let me go through your phone. How do 383 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: you feel about that a door in your bathroom? 384 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: Right? We all need privacy. It's not about doing something wrong. 385 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: And then of course with that we got increase in 386 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: financial surveillance and control, financial regulations, controls like we've talked 387 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: about before the Anti Money Laundering AML slowing down financial transactions, 388 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: increasing the cost of financial transactions. With that, we've also 389 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: seen the rise of lots of other things. But I 390 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: want to get to some more current things. We have 391 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: sort of what I'm seeing as or I'm kind of 392 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: stating as Patriot Act two point zero going into place, 393 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: and it's really being done under the Biden administration. And 394 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: now this is not. 395 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: About left or right, or blue or red. 396 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: George Bush was a Republican and he put the Patrioarch 397 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: in place, Okay, and that was the largest, like I said, 398 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: loss of our freedoms in one bill that was done 399 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: by a Republican. But now we have to be done 400 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: by the Biden administration. He's a Democrat. It's not about 401 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: left or right. We'll call it George Bush just like 402 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna call it Biden for this. But he's been 403 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: mobilizing government agencies to basically take away your freedom and 404 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: your privacy, just like George Bush did, but even worse. 405 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: Some of the things that he's done. For example, we 406 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: saw Rep. Jim Jordan, who almost was elected to the 407 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House not too long ago, came out 408 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: and just broke this entire thing wide open, and really 409 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: it started with Twitter. When Twitter was taken over by 410 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: Elon Musk. He opened up what was called the Twitter Files, 411 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: which allowed us to see all of the ways, and 412 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: not just the ways, but what I'd like to call 413 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the receipts, the smoking guns. We got to see the 414 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: email communications, we got to see the memos, we got 415 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: to see exactly how the government was using social platforms 416 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: like Twitter to control the narrative. And so this broke 417 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: it wide open. Jim Jordan kind of broke all this 418 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: open as well. I've talked about this on the show before, 419 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: but he showed us hundreds, not just one or two, 420 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: hundreds of secret reports of how homeland security, cybersecurity, and infrastructure, 421 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: the GEC, which is the State Department, and Stanford all 422 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: worked together to censor you and I censor Americans before 423 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: the twenty election, including true information, jokes, opinions, all of that. Now, 424 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: the federal government, disinformation experts at the universities, the big 425 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: tech they all work together through something called the EIP 426 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: Election Integrity Partnership to monitor and censor American speech. 427 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: This was done. 428 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: We have hundreds and hundreds of documents this is not 429 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: open for debate. This is fact and according to one 430 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: EIP member, they were created at the request of SISA, 431 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: which is the government. The head of EIP also said 432 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: that they were created after quote working on some monitoring 433 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: ideas for CAESA, So he said, we were created working 434 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: with CASA. Basically, EIP would analyze any reports that were 435 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: submitted by the stakeholders. The government would get these reports, 436 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: they would find similar content across other platforms, and then 437 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: EP would submit the report to big tech Facebook, Twitter, etc. 438 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: With how to censor this the government? I'm met me 439 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: repeat that again. The government would give reports to big 440 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: tech to censor the information they didn't want. Now, who 441 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: were they censoring? Well, Americans? I know it was Americans 442 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: of all political stripes, but of course it was mostly 443 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: Conservatives because it was the party that was in place. Now, 444 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: the problem with these technologies is you might be a 445 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: Democrat or a left or a liberal, and you might 446 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: like that they censor the conservatives. 447 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: But what happens if. 448 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: The conservatives get in power and then are able to 449 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: use that against the Democrats? 450 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: Then how do you feel about that? 451 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: But we saw true information, jokes, memes, political opinions all 452 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: being banned. Now in the report, we saw the First 453 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: Amendment to the Constitution limits the government's role in monitoring 454 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: American speech. But forget that pesky document. They did it anyway. 455 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: They did it anyway. 456 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: Now we know this, this is fact. 457 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the Fifth Circuit Court of 458 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: Appeals put an injunction on the Biden administration and said, hey, 459 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: we see what you're doing. You can no longer do this. 460 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: And the Biden administration is now appealing that decision. What 461 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: do you mean, You've taken away our right to control 462 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: social media where we wanted to do it. So they're 463 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: actively fighting that. There's not a conspiracy. There's an active 464 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: case going on about this right now. This is going 465 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. It's a big deal, all right now, 466 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: this is really gaining steam and really this battleground so 467 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: back to sort of like this battleground happened at Twitter, 468 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: because of course, you know YouTube and Facebook they go 469 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: along with that. As I'm talking about this, I think 470 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: maybe this is part of the reason why the government's gone. 471 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: Off for TikTok so hard. 472 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Maybe TikTok being a Chinese company hasn't allowed them the 473 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: unprecedented access and censorship ability that YouTube and Facebook has done. 474 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Maybe that's speculation on my part. I don't have any 475 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't have any fact to back that up. But 476 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: we do have fact to see how the EPs quote 477 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: misinformation analysts would basically scour the Internet for examples of censorship. 478 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: They would submit them, and then the governm would tell 479 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: them to censor them, and they would. Right now, this 480 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: was a massive, massive deal. They would suspend accounts, they 481 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: would ghost them, if you will, like take away their 482 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: discoverability if you will. Sometimes they'd stop it for twelve hours. 483 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes they'd stop. 484 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: It for longer. 485 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: They would prevent people's ability to retweet or be tagged 486 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: in certain things. So all those things that you heard 487 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: about that were like conspiracy theory, it's all true. Now 488 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: we see that now. The thing that I'm afraid of 489 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: and I've been talking about for a while is now 490 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: it looks like Twitter is the battleground now. Elon must 491 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: said that he would rather go to prison than bow 492 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: down to the government. He says that this is the 493 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: most important battle of his life, and I really hope 494 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: he holds his guns to that because that battle is 495 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: coming right now. As a matter of fact, I've been 496 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: talking about. It looks like, you know, if the government 497 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: wants to break them, they could break them. You know, 498 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: the laws are so egregious they could just basically get 499 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: them for anything they want. And just last year President 500 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: Biden himself, out of his own mouth in a recording, 501 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: we have this gave the federal agencies the green light 502 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: to go after Elon Musk with everything they have. That 503 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: was last year, and we've seen it now. Since that's happened, 504 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: we've seen the DOJ, the FAA, the FTC, the NLRB, 505 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: the SDN, y FWS, and now the FCC. Basically every 506 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: government agency is now coming full guns blazing for Elon Musk. Now, 507 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: he's so rich, he's this oligarch, he's like an American oligarch, 508 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: and we can't control him because he doesn't care about us. 509 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: But we could just basically drowned him in lawsuits. We 510 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: could bankrupt him through judgments, we could overwhelm his time 511 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: by fighting these frivolous lawsuits, make him broke by hiring attorneys, 512 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: and we could basically punish him until we break his will. Now, 513 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna break these down for you. I have the dates, 514 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: I have the claims, and I have how these are 515 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: being resolved. I have the receipts and I'm going to 516 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: show them to you. And this is the battleground and 517 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: you need to be aware of this because this is 518 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: over Elon Musk trying to give Americans a platform to 519 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: have free speech on and the government is being weaponized. Now, 520 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: what is that eight or nine agencies under Biden's orders 521 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: are coming after him to shut him down. I'm gonna 522 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: break all these down. I'm gonna give you the dates, 523 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: the names, everything. When I come back, I'm go I 524 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: take a very quick break. Don't go away. 525 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: I'll be right back. All right, Welcome back. 526 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 527 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Maus Show, we're talking about the digital Iron Curtain and 528 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: how it is being erected right now. Not unlike the 529 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: Iron Curtain of whatever that was seventy eight years ago 530 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union. Not unlike that, except for it's 531 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: not a geography. It's an ideology, just like it was 532 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: back then and it is today. And I'm afraid that 533 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: it will probably have the same disastrous effects because when 534 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: you restrict people's freedom and movement and competition, the same 535 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: things are going to happen, right, Those who don't understand 536 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: history are bound to repeat it. Or Einstein said that 537 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: the definition of his hand, He's doing the same thing 538 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: but expecting different results. 539 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: If you do the same thing, you're gonna get the 540 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: same results. 541 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I'm talking about a lot of this that's 542 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: happening right now, and just for people that are on 543 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: different sides of the political out here, it's not political. 544 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: George Bush, a Republican, took away massive, maybe the most 545 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: amount of freedom under the patriotarch, and now a Democrat 546 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: Biden is trying to one up him and take away 547 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: even more. Biden himself, in s speech told the government 548 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: to go after Elon Musk with all guns blazing, because 549 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is allowing people to have open speech and 550 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: because he exposed him right, Elon Musk gave all the 551 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: records to the people. They don't like that he allowed 552 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: them to put like, for example, the j six January 553 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: sixth recordings up and things like that. So now the DOJ, 554 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: the FAA, the FTC, the NLRB, the SDNY, FWS, and 555 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: the FCC are all coming after him. 556 00:28:59,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: Let's break these down. 557 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: The DOJ, Department of Justice August twenty twenty one, they 558 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: opened an antitrust investigation into Tesla for an autopilot and 559 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: a self driving and for the self driving features. That's ongoing. 560 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Then December twenty twenty two, the DOJ this is not 561 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: like the This is not like the automobile industry. This 562 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: is the Department of Justice is now subpoened Tesla over 563 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: whistleblower claims alleging safety defects. Okay, again, the Department of Justice. 564 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: We have the FAA and came after the SpaceX eleven 565 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: SpaceX They grounded eleven SpaceX Falcon nine rockets due to 566 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: concerns about potential engine failure. But you know, the issue 567 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: was resolved, flights werezumed, but not without probably lots of time, effort, energy, 568 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: and money to fight that. They came back October twenty 569 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: twenty two, they launched another investigation, this time into Starlink 570 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: satellites about the potential for disrupting astronomical observation and that's 571 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: still ongoing. The FTC they came after him. They opened 572 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: an investigation at Tesla's use of what they call shadow 573 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: profiling in targeted advertising. So now they're you know, coming 574 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: after them for their advertising of strategies. Then they came 575 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: after him again, and now they're probing tweets by Elon 576 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: Musk about Tesla and taking Tesla private, violating security laws. 577 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: But the invest that investigation was closed without any action, 578 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: So again there was nothing there. 579 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: They didn't find anything there. I'm sure they tried really hard. 580 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: They couldn't find anything, but it still took a lot 581 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: of time, effort, energy, and money. The NLRB they filed 582 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: complaints against Tesla for allegedly firing employees for union organizing. 583 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: That's still ongoing. Then just last month, judge orders Tesla 584 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: to reinstate a worker fired for criticizing Musk on Twitter. 585 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Decisions being appealed by Tesla. We saw in February of 586 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Securities and Exchange Commission the SEC filed 587 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Musk for alleged market manipulation through tweets. Again, 588 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: so now we have multiple agencies coming after Elon Musk 589 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: for his tweets. The FWS issued a permit for SpaceX 590 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: starship launch from Texas despite environmental concerns raised by local groups, 591 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: and now. 592 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: The FCC is jumping in on this. We saw the 593 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: FCC requests starlink data. 594 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: On potential interference with radio astronomical observations. That's still ongoing. 595 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: And so we can just see how the state is 596 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: doing anything and everything it can to seal off the exits, 597 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: if you will. Now, what does this attack on Elon 598 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: must have to do with anything? Well, the Iron curtain, 599 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: the digital iron curtain. We must divide, we must stop 600 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: what is the iron curtain. The Iron curtain divided people 601 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: and it stopped the free flow of movement, information and money, 602 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: which money is information communicates value. So they stopped the 603 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: free flow of information and divided people down ideological lines. 604 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the digital Iron curtain is doing. 605 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: And again the battlegrounds are mostly over the Internet and 606 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: specifically over social media platforms, which are the town squares, 607 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: the water holes, if you will. And when Elon Musk, 608 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: this richest man in the world, bought Twitter, it threw 609 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: their entire plan. 610 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: Of the digital Iron Curtain down the drain. 611 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: And so if they want to continue to push this, 612 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: they must take out that stronghold that Elon Musk has. 613 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: They must beat him into submission. Some of these things 614 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I likened it to. They filed the lawsuit against Starlink 615 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: for wrongful hiring practices because they weren't hiring and they're 616 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: advertising for jobs they weren't hiring illegal aliens. And Elon 617 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: Musk is like, put I'm a military contractor and I 618 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: put satellites into space, and it specifically says I can 619 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: only work with American citizens in greenheard car flowers, and 620 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: so they had to drop it. And I was sort 621 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: of using this. It was sort of like the mob 622 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: would like, send somebody over to your mom's house, and 623 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: the goal was just to say, hey, we know where 624 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: your mom is and we can get to her if 625 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: we want. And I think this lawsuit was sort of 626 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: like a warning as well, which is like, hey, just 627 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: to let you know, you know, we're not gonna do 628 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: anything with this, but like just to. 629 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: Let you know we could. 630 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: Now what are the societal and economic implications of this, 631 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is something that could really affect 632 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: not just us today. This affects our kids, this affects 633 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: our grandkids, this is this is this has massive implications 634 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: for our society and the world right. And we can see, 635 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: like I said, what happened in times past and what 636 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: happened here, and we can see the exact thing, same 637 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: things could be setting back up. You know, if we 638 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: think about if we think about the increase of financial 639 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: surveillance and the centralization of that specifically, if we think 640 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: about it in a way where they could like seize 641 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: assets and address economic crisis, we can think back to 642 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: the initial phases of socialism setting in. 643 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 2: What do they do? 644 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: They come in and they seize financial assets. Right, the 645 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: the state has to control the means of production. Now, 646 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: socialism always leads to violence every single time, one hundred 647 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: percent of the time. It doesn't lead to a more peaceful, 648 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: prosperous society. It leads to a more violent society every 649 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: single time, guaranteed. And here's why I can say that. 650 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: In order for a social society, they have to control 651 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: the means of production. But currently the means of production 652 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: are owned by private property holders. I own property, You 653 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: own property. 654 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 2: I have a business, You have a business. 655 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to give up my business or my 656 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: private property to the state. I object, And so the 657 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: state has to come in and force that. They have 658 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: to take it under the threat of violence every single time. Now, 659 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: some people, sure, some people are like, ah, fine, I 660 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: don't want my private property. I don't need my business, 661 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: go ahead, state take it. But most people don't. Most 662 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: farmers and most business owners are going to defend that 663 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: with their life, which is why it leads to violence 664 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: every single time. And so we're starting to see that 665 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: picking up, and it leads to this modern form of 666 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: repression where you can have this state driven financial repression 667 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: and these wealth confiscations like we saw under the Iron curtain, 668 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: but now in this metaphorical digital iron curtain, we can 669 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: start to see the same thing setting up where they'll 670 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: under CBDCs or in the fed now system, they can 671 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: just confiscate your wealth. They can just block the free 672 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: flow of information, and it leaves us as we the people, 673 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: us as citizens with little or no compensation. There's nothing 674 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: we can do. Our money's in that system. 675 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 2: Now. 676 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: The exit is, of course bitcoin. The exit is setting 677 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: up decentralized systems. That's our exit. If we can get 678 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: our wealth out of their system, outside of the banking system, 679 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: then they don't have the ability to centralize our wealth. 680 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: Cryptocurrencies and bitcoin specifically gives us the ability to counteract that. 681 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: It gives us the ability to countermeasure what they're trying 682 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: to do, which is why back to Elizabeth Warren we 683 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 1: talked about earlier. She is trying to pass a bill 684 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: to outlaw this. Pass the bitcoin ETFs. Sure you can 685 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: own bitcoin in an ETF in a way that you 686 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: don't ever get to control it outside of our system, 687 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: but you cannot. 688 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: Control it on your own. 689 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: And this is the battle for the iron curtain that's 690 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: shaping up right now. If you don't understand what is 691 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: going on with your freedom, and not just your freedom 692 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: is big, but your freedom to transact information and money. 693 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: Your kids and the grandkids are going to be affected 694 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: by this. 695 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 2: So learn about it. 696 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to share it with you, Share 697 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: it with others, Go discuss this, research it reach you 698 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: don't like this part, I know, reach out to your 699 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: lawmakers and let them know how you feel, and only 700 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: vote for ones that you think will work in a 701 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: positive way towards this. If you're just tuning in, you 702 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: listening to the Mark Marshall, we've been breaking down what 703 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm calling the digital Iron curtain. Leave me a review 704 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: if you're listening on your podcast, I greatly appreciate it. 705 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: If you want to watch this you missed it, check 706 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: it out on YouTube under market. 707 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 2: Disruptors, and that's what I got.
