It became bureaucracy, as Elon has been pointing out. And they said anything that's a threat to bureaucracy is a threat to democracy, which we must suppress. I've called it like the opposite of Bill Gates' dystopian control grid, where you got big tech and big food and big media and big pharma that he has various ties to, that the Amish are exempt from because they choose to opt out from that.

They are so upset about people wanting to get out of that control grid, that they engaged in every weaponization of our legal and financial and political systems to punish anybody who challenged it. And probably one of the biggest, and from their perspective, highest profile critics was Roger Verrer. I mean, he's a guy who's known as Bitcoin Jesus. I mean, literally.

Caleb, what did you throw up there? And I'll let Aaron, you comment in just a second. But Caleb, you put something up on the screen. Is that something we should be aware of?

What do we want people to do? And I guess I will ask that of each of you. Robert, I'll ask you first. What should people be doing both to help sort of, I imagine, Robert, you're more concerned, as am I, with reestablishing the Bill of Rights, frankly, and sort of buttressing it in some way.

And then I'm guessing, Aaron, my question to you would be more on the zone of how do we protect ourselves from what you think is coming. But Robert first.

Say, think twice about that, or you may end up like Roger Ver in prison for 109 years for doing nothing more than following your lawyer's and accountant's advice to pay taxes to a country you are no longer even citizen of.

I'm encouraging President Trump, open up a whole lawfare group inside the White House. You know, pardon people every week to highlight this case, how it went AWOL. How did this case go AWOL?
