When the government issues you a permit, it's giving you permission to do something. This is a partial list of permits. If you live in Alberta, going forward, you wll also need to consult with First Nations before doing any of these things. Permission to drive. Permission to work. Permission to fish. Permission to camp in a park. Permission to cut a tree. Permission to practice law. Permission to add an out-building on your property. Permission to own a Pit Bull dog. Permission to own a firearm. Permission to operate a boat. Permission to fly a drone. Permission to operate a business. Permission to build a house on your own land. Permission to pump water from a pit. Permission to transport goods by truck. Permission to burn wood. Permission to hunt. Permission to treat illnesses. Permission to sell medicine. Permission to prescribe corrective lenses. Permission to host an event. Permission to dig a hole. Permission to keep chickens. Permission to sing in public spaces. Permission to hang a sign. Permission to rent out a room in your house. Permission to sell food. Permission to practice law. Permission to transport a firearm. Permission to bury the deceased. But most egregious of all in this province, you need a permit to protest against the government's unfair laws. Here in Alberta, we need permission just to petition our government.

Look at the absolute, breathtaking hypocrisy of the state. Today, AIMCo—a Crown-owned corporation managing nearly $195 billion in Alberta's pensions—just disclosed a massive $219 million stake in MicroStrategy. They are actively using corporate proxies to get exposure to the 818,000 Bitcoin sitting on Michael Saylor's balance sheet. But what did the Canadian government announce this exact same week? A nationwide push to shut down all Bitcoin ATMs. They are using your pension funds to secure their own exposure to absolute scarcity, while systematically destroying the physical onramps you need to achieve self-custody. They do not hate Bitcoin. They just hate you having permissionless access to it. The state wants the asymmetric upside of the Timechain for their balance sheet, but they want you trapped in their melting fiat casino. They are frantically buying up the lifeboats while welding the exit doors shut for the middle class. Watch what they do, not what they say. The sovereign arms race is happening right in front of you. npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt *Balancing Natural Inequality with Social Harmony* “Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” — Gen 4:15 1. The Human Dilemma The fall of man introduced a tendency to blame others (scapegoating) for our own failings or sins. When God created humans with unequal capacities, He created a tension: How do we achieve “fairness of outcome” without institutional tyranny? To answer this, we must compare how Capitalism and Communism handle the natural inequality of man and the divine deterrent of the Mark of Cain. 2. The Capitalistic Path: The Witness of Higher Order In this system, the government’s mandate is defined by its absence. The State is not a master, but a witness. A. Economic Non-Interference: Recognizing that production comes easier to some than others, the state refuses to penalize the high-performer. There are no “leveling” taxes. This forces a culture of self-reliance rather than envy-based scapegoating. B. The “Cain’s Mark” as Meta-Deterrent: This is not a police-state revenge. It is the Fear of God. The Mark is a universal signal that the individual is off-limits. C. The 7-Fold Restitution: Restitution is fixed at seven times the value of the harm. This applies to both physical violence and economic theft (fraud). It is a “divine math” that makes the cost of transgression so high that even the most powerful producer is restrained by a debt they cannot afford to pay. 3. The Communistic Path: The Pecking Order and Control In a Communistic system, fairness is attempted by elevating humans to positions of control to force productivity and redistribute resources. A. The System of Guaranteed Participation (UBI): To balance unequal production, the system utilizes Natural Capital. Example: If a mining company uses autonomous drills, the dividend captures the value of the minerals—the “God-given” asset—rather than taxing the human labor that no longer exists. B. The Corruption Risk: The flaw in this system is the “pecking order.” Humans in high positions often use the “fairness” mandate as a mask to control others. Without the “Fear of God” (the 7-fold penalty) applied to the controllers, the system reverts to scapegoating the productive class to satisfy the pecking order. 4. Synthesis: How do we “Get Along”? True fairness of outcome is achieved when the government “backs away” from the production process but remains a steadfast administrator of the 7-fold Law. Fairness of Outcome: Achieved through the Social Dividend of natural resources (Common Grace). Social Peace: Achieved through the 7-Fold Deterrent, which ensures that the naturally “stronger” man cannot exploit the “weaker” man, and the “weaker” man cannot use the state to “slay” (scapegoat) the producer. By applying the Mark of Cain to all interactions, we replace the “revenge” of the state with a cosmic accountability that allows the unequal to live as equals. https://image.nostr.build/af7fc7e33d28018212c3a30c34a6c4c955cd8c0494d0f31cea1fe5e8a1f03922.jpg #longform npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt What is Property Rights? When the neighbour parks his car on your tenants driveway, that is a violation your your tenants rights and not a violation of your property rights.

Donors’ personal info was hacked at Give Send Go, and our national media published the names of notable donors, like police officers. Banks used the hacked list to freeze accounts, under order from Trudeau utilizing the Emergencies Act. People had their credit destroyed because they couldn’t pay their bills. They couldn’t even pay the babysitter. Tamara Lich and Chris Barber served prison time. They’re still under house arrest. Trudeau did this. Freeland did this. The media and the entire Liberal Party cheered it on. The courts have ruled this was an illegal usage of the Emergencies Act. They have effectively ruled Trudeau acted as a tyrant to destroy lives, in concert with the media and banks. npub1flj222ym4truxx6y4qvp6lsgkxmr8mutv7rr8qmmns4fq0lkhurq9eagfz Arthur Amendt Can anyone guess where we are at?
