A bipartisan bill called the #RestrictAct has been proposed by Mark Warner of Virginia & John Thune of South Dakota, to protect national security and ending foreign adversaries. Apps like TikTok to be banned from misusing American consumer data or … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Are you a VPN user in USA… too bad #RestrictAct could get you decades in jail for using VPN 🤷♂️
The #RestrictAct gives sweeping powers to the secretary of commerce and the president (the executive branch) to take appropriate measures against people/products/services they deem threaten national security.
The powers that #RestrictAct gives over citizens and foreign nationals are unprecedented.
Civil violations can result in penalties up to $250,000 or twice the amount of transaction committed, whichever is greater.
The adversary elements in this bill are so vast, you might as well kiss your innovation goodbye in the USA. This might apply AI, ML, Quantum computing and even cryptography.
Blockchain & Crypto projects would be under the purview of this bill 😱
The #RestrictAct aids the American #Government in restricting citizens rights & liberties, turn itself into a totalitarian surveillance state just like China, which it’s trying to stop.
The #RestrictAct will morph America into China a totalitarian state.
The #RestrictAct is the #PatriotAct on steroids and you all know what powers and rights you lost with patriot act 🤷♂️
The #RestrictAct is not just limited to TikTok it’s much more than that
If #RestrictAct gets passed you might as well leave America, it’s that bad
#RestrictAct isn’t about banning TikTok, it’s controlling the entirety of your internet & digital presence
And who are the foreign adversaries. BTW this list isn’t complete, your executive branch can deem any individual or country or an entity an adversary at anytime 🤷♂️
You’ll be a complete clown puppet in the hands of your master & controller the #BigBrother after the #RestrictAct gets passed into law 🤷♂️
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
The RESTRICT ACT S 686 is a massive violation of our 4th Amendment Rights and a complete Nationalization of the internet.
Google Trends for #RESTRICTAct is at the highest levels. What does this mean -- lots of people of scared to see their freedoms erode away with this act.
The #RESTRICTAct isn’t about TikTok
The #RESTRICTAct is about your freedom & privacy on the internet
Here are 10 arguments proving that climate change is a giant hoax to perpetuate the climate spending from innocent taxpayers:
1. Historical Climate Variability: Climate has always changed naturally over time, citing periods like the Medieval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age as evidence that current changes are within historical norms, not caused by human activity.
2. Inaccuracies in Climate Models: Climate models have failed to predict certain trends or events accurately, suggesting that these models might exaggerate the impact of CO2 or other greenhouse gases.
3. Urban Heat Island Effect: Temperature increases recorded in urban areas are due to more concrete and less vegetation, not global warming, thus skewing global temperature data.
4. Benefits of CO2: There's an argument that CO2 is beneficial for plant growth, essentially acting as plant food, which could lead to greener Earth and higher crop yields, countering negative effects.
5. Economic Motive for Climate Tax: The suggestion here is that the push for climate change action is more about creating a new tax revenue stream for governments rather than environmental protection. This tax, they claim, would disproportionately affect the poor and small businesses.
6. Manipulation of Data: Climate data has been manipulated or selectively reported to fit a narrative, like the "Climategate" controversy where emails suggested scientists might have withheld data or adjusted it to support their conclusions.
7. Natural Solar Cycles: Changes in solar activity, like sunspots or solar cycles, correlate more closely with Earth's temperature changes than CO2 levels do, suggesting solar influence over human influence.
8. Lack of Consensus: There's significant disagreement within the scientific community about the extent and cause of climate change.
9. Previous Doomsday Predictions: most of the past environmental predictions about population growth, resource depletion, or pollution that didn't materialize as predicted, suggesting current climate predictions might also be exaggerated or wrong.
10. Geopolitical Control: Climate change fears are used by global elites or organizations like the IMF, UN, WEF and WHO to push for more centralized control over national policies, economies, and personal behaviors through mechanisms like carbon credits or emission treaties.
Governments have made endless wars possible through Fiat money inflation. With nothing backing the money they print, all they need is lies and propaganda to start more wars and print more money to fix that’s destroyed.
It’s a never ending cycle…. Unless we stop it.
Argument for Taxation Enabling War:
1. Funding Mechanism: Taxation provides governments with the necessary funds to finance military operations. Without a steady income from taxes, nations would struggle to maintain standing armies, develop military technology, or sustain prolonged conflicts. Historical examples, like the British taxation of the American colonies to fund imperial wars, illustrate how tax revenues directly fuel military capabilities. The ability to tax gives states the financial muscle to engage in warfare, thereby making war not just possible but also more extensive and prolonged than it might otherwise be.
2. Public Support and Legitimacy: Taxation also serves as a tool for garnering public support or at least compliance for war efforts. When citizens pay taxes, they are indirectly invested in the state's ventures, including military actions. This financial contribution can be spun into a narrative of shared national interest or defense, legitimizing the war in the eyes of the populace. For instance, during wartime, governments might increase taxes or introduce war bonds, linking the financial burden directly to the war effort, thereby fostering a sense of collective responsibility and urgency.
Argument for War Leading to Increased Taxation:
1. Economic Strain and Recovery: Wars are immensely costly, draining national resources and often leading to economic downturns. Post-war recovery, rebuilding infrastructure, and providing for veterans require significant funds, which governments then seek through increased taxation. The aftermath of World War II, where many countries raised taxes to rebuild, exemplifies this cycle. War thus sets a precedent for higher future taxation to address the economic fallout from military conflict.
2. Military-Industrial Complex: War stimulates the military-industrial complex, creating a demand for continuous military spending. This spending, in turn, necessitates higher taxes to support an ever-growing defense budget. The cycle of war leading to more war can perpetuate a need for increased taxation to fund new military endeavors, technological advancements, and the maintenance of military bases worldwide. This was evident during the Cold War, where the arms race between superpowers led to significant tax increases to support military spending.
Both arguments highlight a symbiotic relationship where taxation and war feed into each other, creating a cycle of financial and military escalation.
