Sovereign Individual (#Davidson 1997) predicted that governments around the world will start kidnapping and holding for ransom their own citizens (and also foreigners). We have already gotten a taste of that during #lockdowns. With this power in their hand, there is no reason not to assume they won’t implement various forms of restrictions again and now they have an incentive to fabricate an unlimited flood of new “reasons” (or no reason at all) to do so.
Ppl may mistakenly believe what happened to #Ghosn will only happen to rich people or dissenters (#snowden, #assange), but what starts at the top always trickles down.
As any remaining legitimacy of government evaporates we will witness the emergence of tyranny and control without historic precedent.
The solution to these emerging threats is twofold:
1) find (and organize) alternative modes of transport of goods and people bypassing borders and checkpoints (#flyingcars ?)
2) immediately switch the world economy to #bitcoin and #monero, disabling to power of taxation, and deprive the state of its financial means to implement any restrictions

With the extremely low #iq of the average citizen (evidenced by them taking #lethal #injections 🙄) the chances of either happening is uncertain…
