Because you’re still posting in the March thread.
I’ll start.

This was forwarded to me. I don’t know who the author is:
If the next few years go the way some are expecting, and the country moves in the direction of an authoritarian socialist state, the gray man will do some things his friends may not expect nor initially agree with:
The gray man will put a pro-government bumper sticker on his vehicle, in contrast with the beliefs in his heart.
The gray man will smile when the police come to his door to collect his firearms. He’ll happily hand over his registered weapons at the door and thank the officers for their work, while his cache of unregistered weapons is safely hidden away.
He’ll be first in line to receive his sub-dermal ID chip, and will smile as it is implanted. He’ll then return home and remove it himself, treat and stitch the wound himself, wear long-sleeve shirts until the wound heals, and rub the scar with oil until it disappears. He’ll carry the chip under his sleeve or inside his watch so as to blend in with society, until such time as he wishes not to be seen or tracked.
He’ll gladly take his government issued credit card, and will use it for regular purchases like groceries and gasoline. However, on the weekends he’ll leave it on his coffee table next to his ID chip, and he’ll take his silver coins and ammunition to the illegal farmer’s market for barter and open discussion.
He’ll go to the library and check out the books on the government’s suggested reading list and use them as examples to quietly teach his children what not to believe.
If one day he and his family should disappear, the authorities will check their databases. They’ll see that his car has not passed through any turnpike billing checkpoints. They’ll see that his credit card has not been used anywhere unusual. They’ll see via their satellite RFID map that all members of his family are still located in their home, and they are currently viewing government programs on their internet-television.
Days will pass, and they’ll go to his home and see that his vehicle is gone. They’ll enter and find a small pile of ID chips sitting next to a government credit card and a RFID turnpike billing pass. Next to this will be a note, thanking the officers for their good work.

“the problem is between your ears”
That was a submission at Survivalblog.com here. It created a big discussion, with some people calling it cowardly and others calling it prudent here, here, and then here.
Came across this after watching a Raising the Bar episode where a prosecutor argued against jury nullification because white supremacists in the South at one time used it to get lynchers acquitted. That did happen, but that’s one example compared to the many examples of where it has been used to check the misapplication and abuse of the law by prosecutors and police.

The Venus project is just economic ignoramuses, like Leninists. They don’t believe in scarcity so they think they can create a free lunch. When they say “monetary system” they mean “scarcity system”. Their system would not have scarcity because there’s no money, and everything would be free and abundant. It’s just the low-end of economic illiterates who became a movement because they found each others over the internet.
