Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>\u2013 James Madison, Founding Father and 4th President of these United States<\/p>\n<p>Politicians and intelligence agencies throughout the Western world are currently engaged in an all out, shameless propaganda campaign to exploit the recent terror attacks in Paris to convince the citizenry that it should relinquish privacy for absolutely no reason.<\/p>\n<p>The primary\u00a0targets of the post-attack push have been encryption generally, and Bitcoin specifically. Of course, you don\u2019t need me to tell you that these are two sides of the same coin. Both strong encryption for communication, and Bitcoin for transferring value, provide a level of freedom and dynamism outside of the oligarch-controlled, centrally planned, feudal global economic system. As such, these two tools must be demonized and eradicated to the extent possible.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, in the post,\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Permanent Link to Government is Lying \u2013 New Study Shows No Increase in Use of Encryption by Jihadists Since Snowden Revelations\" href=\"http:\/\/libertyblitzkrieg.com\/2015\/11\/19\/government-is-lying-new-study-shows-no-increase-in-use-of-encryption-by-jihadists-since-snowden-revelations\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Government is Lying \u2013 New Study Shows No Increase in Use of Encryption by Jihadists Since Snowden Revelations<\/a><\/strong>, I explained in detail how the whole push against encryption is based on total lies and fear-mongering.
