Trust Gov./banks or time to drill postholes

[i7win7]

With the Canadian government freezing and confiscating the bank accounts of the freedom protesters, is it time to drill postholes?

They are just safely and effectively protecting their money. They only want whats best for them

Not sure. But years ago I used to install security systems. Had one customer who seemed dodgy.

Anyway, his yard was full of filled in holes. Looked like he had a stadiums worth of gophers digging up his yard.

Come to find out the dude was running a drug ring and supplying a large portion of New England in weed.

He had people run up to Canada, pick up the drugs. And then deliver it around New England and new York.

I remember seeing on the news that the FBI was going around his yard with metal detectors and digging up all his money.

All those holes I saw out in his yard were from where he was packing coffee cans full of cash and burying them.

The only reason that money has value is because the government says it does, and society agrees that’s good enough.

Scroll to "Overall results"

The moment the swastikas, confederate flags, and MAGA gear came out the so called "freedom protesters" lost all credibility because they self identified as anti-vax terrorists. They started calling themselves "freedom protesters" to become more politically correct - 90% of the population has chosen to get vaxed and wouldn't support a mini anti-vax revolt.

The government is only freezing bank accounts of the anti-vax terrorists who are attacking our trade highways and attacking small businesses because the anti-vaxers are too self centred to think of anyone but themselves.

The last few days the news people must have been bored.

Today they posted a picture of a road that was covered in snow, since we are having winter precipitation here. The picture was STOLEN from a friend who took the picture in January. The posted it on TV (and their farsebook page) that said "road between clinton and marshall is iced over, with many wrecks, avoid the area".....

So on their FB page I made sure to dig up the original post with pictures from January's storm, and posted it up on the "news" people's FB page where they reported it. Basically I called them out on it. Within 5 minutes the post was deleted.

Then they (same news place) did a story on racial groups' inability to get a home mortgage. The way they worded it, was if you are black, you ain't getting a mortgage because of your skin color. That's only 1/100 of the story but they won't tell you that. I contacted the station and asked them about it and was told that they only have 30 minutes to report "news" (weather sports and news), and the last 15 minutes of it is SPORTS, with 11 minutes of commercial advertising, 4 minutes of weather and the last few is news, so they don't have the time to go over the details. I explained to them that their way of doing this is immoral, and it is also unethical journalism. The point was to, well, point out that they were in the wrong, but it appears that that was blown off. So with that, I would challenge everyone, if you are watching the TV news (particularly local...), and you see something that is suspicious, call the station and call them out on it. If enough of us do the same maybe they'll get the point.

A good friend (female friend, not girlfriend) is a former weather anchor, and quit. I asked her why she quit and that was exactly why, "news" is paid prime advertising more than it is "news, of which she is not in agreement with, thus she left the industry and went out on her own. Good for her. Now if the rest of them would do the same, maybe we'll see a change.

Keep in mind that money is only a piece of paper or low value metals. It only has value because the government says it does. Without that public acceptance of the government’s assurance, your money is just fire starter kindling or wheel weights.
