Anti Money Laundering laws are an attack on property rights.

TLDR: Unless AML regulations can be refuted and abolished, property rights cannot exist and we are back to legalized slavery.

Property rights rests on the bedrock of logic that John Locke formulated in 1690 with his publication Two Treatises of Government.

Locke's ideas were instrumental in the rejection and abolishment of human slavery. He postulated that every human is born free and is a sovereign person who owns themselves and the fruits of their labor.

-------------
"Every man has a "property" in his own "person". This nobody has any right to but himself. The "labour" of his body and the "work" of his hands, we may say, are properly his."

(Book II, Chapter 5.27, page 130)
-------------

Following this reasoning, slavery becomes a violation of property rights: we can't own another human being since every person is born sovereign. We have no right to what another person earns with their labor. Only voluntary contracts that are mutually beneficial are valid arrangements.

The problem of AML regulations becomes obvious at this point.

First of all, AML reverses the burden of evidence and postulates guilt until proven innocence. Your money is assumed to be laundered - and thereby illegal - until proven otherwise.

This flips the whole Western conception of legal proceedings on its head; the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.

Instead, AML assumes criminal activity as the standard, with no requirement of the government to spend resources to prove a committed crime in a court of law backed by evidence beyond all reasonable doubt.

Under AML, in order to abolish your property rights, the government only needs to raise the bar for what constitutes accepted evidence to prove the history of your earnings. This sets absolute surveillance as the standard.

If the government want to strip you of your property under AML, all that is needed is for the government to reject the history of your property as invalid or inconclusive.

In the case of a banking service that you used in the past, if it no longer exists, or if it no longer have your records, or if you are unable to gain access to those records, your property is confiscated under AML.

AML regulations abolish the right of the individual to own the fruits of their labor, by empowering a third party to determine if your property is valid, without any burden of evidence.

If the validity of your money can be rejected at any point by a third party, your property rights have been abolished, ipso facto.

Returning to John Locke:

".. for nobody can desire to have me in his absolute power unless it be to compel me by force to that which is against the right of my freedom -- i.e. make me a slave." (Book II, Chapter 3.18)

".. and hence it is that he who attempts to get another man under his power does thereby put himself into a state of war with him." (Book II, Chapter 3.17)

Since AML regulations require absolute surveillance and the individual is at the complete mercy of the third party that determines the validity of their money at any given time, the statements of Locke ring uncannily true.

Locking the fruits of a person's labor under someone else's full power and control, transforms the working individual into nothing more than a slave, chained the whims and conditions of the controller.

The situation under AML regulations is captured in this statement:

"I have altered the deal. Pray that I don't alter it any further"

Following Locke, we don't have to accept a dystopian future without individual rights and property rights, ruled by neo-feudalism.

This is why Bitcoin is a return to the ideas of John Locke.

On a Bitcoin standard there is no third party that validates your transactions. The money you have earned is yours without restriction. Your money cannot be invalidated. Your transactions cannot be stopped.

Under a Bitcoin standard, criminals will have to be found guilty in a court of law, based on evidence.

Bitcoin is a return to justice and property rights for all.

A few thoughts on U.N. Agenda 21 and how Bitcoin reverses authoritarianism.

As a starting point it is reasonable to believe that all individuals attempt to solve problems, at least from their own understanding of how things work.

Central planners will favor authoritarian solutions while voluntarists will favor compelling win-win arguments that can inspire people to be convinced of something.

Politicians tend to align with the 'ethics' of the Trolley Problem; that if they believe they can help the many (or the planet), that this warrants sacrificing some groups of people.

In 1992, 178 nations signed up for Agenda21.

The Trolley Problem however, is deeply unethical; the assumption is that it is virtuous to sacrifice some for some believed 'greater good'. We have seen this tried time and time again throughout history with devastating consequences.

To start with; how could central planners possibly know that X will happen if Y is not sacrificed?

There are both corrupt assumptions combined with plausible power motives mixed into this mental model.

The U.N. Agenda21 can set policy in 178 countries for the simple reason that they signed up for this global policy program in 1992. Coordination in policy between nations is therefore built in.

The fractional reserve banking system is a global, ticking time bomb. Most governments favor a new system of CBDC's to keep their power intact, as well as expanding their control tools.

Governments basically have two choices:

1. Allow free agency and liberty for all. This is the free market path.

or

2. Restrict liberties and use coercion, force or herding via narratives to keep control. This is the central planning path. CBDC's are required to achieve this.

If government bureaucrats are attempting to 'solve' the problem of complete management of society, as they are inclined to do - that's their own, believed main purpose of central planning - then the implementation of social credit score systems appears to them as tempting tools of absolute control. As Jabba Carsten the BIS banker like to say: absolut kontroll.

If 178 nations chose the central planning path in 1992 by signing up for U.N. Agenda21, it's not unreasonable to think they saw it as the only possible path forward for governments to stay in control as the economic system of printing money and growing national debts was heading toward certain catastrophy.

This doesn't excuse governments for pursuing a central planning path.

In 2009, money that cannot be inflated was invented, solving the problem of how to end moneyprinting. Bitcoin became the alternable to dystopian central planning.

Yet, moneyprinting + CBDC's keep governments in control, so there is a clear power motive involved. CBDC's are also necessary for social credit score systems and carbon allowance restrictions, as per the U.N. Agenda2030 goals.

As the Club pf Rome observed: they imagined that there was a need for a global, cross-national threat that could pull nations together to reach unified policy agreements.

They came up with (false) climate concerns as a unifying threat. This is the building block of U.N. Agenda21; climate alarmism.


Zooming out, the Trolley Problem is visible:

1. Belief in a climate disaster that is always 5-10 years ahead.

2. Belief in the justification of sacrificing X, Y or Z in order to avoid the believed doomsday scenario.

What could go wrong when power ambitions enter this equation. Secondly, what could possibly go wrong even if we assumed no power ambitions, naive though as that would be.

The Trolley Problem is unethical at its core. It assumes that central planners are all-knowing & incorruptible, while they justify their power by assuming that humans are greedy and incompetent. Greed certainly have a way of rising to power.

It is in this context that we need to understand the authoritarianism of Covid-19, lockdowns, movement licenses, Covid-passports, mandated injections and movement-regulating discrimination. Discrimination based on whether or not an individual have injected a poorly tested product with obvious risks of side-effects that the government demand to force upon individuals via false narratives, coercion, threat or force.

Movement licenses are clearly goals by themselves; to tie your liberties to central databases - social credit scores - which can and will be used to centrally manage your options in life based on your compliance with the fickle beliefs and whims of either incompetent or malevolent central planners, often times both.

This is also one of many reasons why Bitcoin matters. Bitcoin is the only monetary protocol that can bring down the emerging CBDC control tools and the social credit systems that depend on CBDC's, while also preserving the savings and freedom of everyone to transact without discrimination.

Witout moneyprinting and CBDC's, social credit systems have no future. Bitcoin solves core systemic problems of central planning tyranny and overreach.
