//Many people think The Dollar Vigilante is a fear mongering, pessimistic blog.//

You are spot on the fear mongering part. It is a blog that focuses on overgenearalised sensationalism and soviet style propaganda through unfounded claims. You sell bullshit to naive minds. Your mantra is so generic that you can either say "aha told you so" if something remotely relevant happens—or in case it doesn't happen to allow you to say "this is not exactly what i said". You function more or less like a scam artist.

//If you only read our headlines, then I can see how you would feel that way. //

Your headlines are crafted to grab attention. Same thing applies for those whom you accuse daily about manipulating public behaviour through "brain washing". For example for your witness promo you posted a picture where the camera is way below eye level so we can look at your "grandeur" from a lower position. It's a visual trick to demonstrate power used historically from Churches and goverments alike when they were building their structures. Your red and yellow typeface, the tall letters, all designed to show status and grab attention. It's like watching a whore trying to score some customers.

//But things are getting so bad that all we are doing is acknowledging the current state of affairs. The truth hurts.//

Things have never been better. Every single stat confirms this. Compared to earlier times in human history we have improved massively.

//After we began to analyze Shemitah and then Jubilee timelines, we became even more pessimistic because it was clear that even the deepest economic and military disasters were planned in advance.//

Correlation is not causation. Your analysis was similar to fortune telling. You pick what suits you disregarding everything else just to make a sellable narrative.

//Our lives are run by a small group of psychopaths. At least to the degree that we react to world events. The only way out is to plan for ourselves.//

Your life is not run by anyone. People elect representatives that set some parametres which you can work around them if you so wish. Even if we assume that those representatives are psychopaths they are nothing more than the average elected perception—which means we are all psychopaths. (Logic wasn't your favourite subject in class was it now?)

//Our society has been organized to take away your sociopolitical, economic and military choices. The latest manifestation of this deliberate promotion is the US presidential election.//

Nothing was designed by anyone. This is a false assumption. Things just "are" and change through the ages through different structures of function. Much a similar structure with ours is noted with every other species that exists on this earth. I guess evolution has conspired in all the things huh? Even you here. You earn more than 1000% of your average tinfoiled follower and they still worship you. What makes you think that Hilary and Trump are doing anything different? They have their scandals you have yours as well—from fake passport business to ripping off people in Chile. I am sure you would defend yourself much like the ones you accuse. Tragically you make money by throwing shit on others.

//Hillary is so obviously a tyrant-in-waiting that she is stampeding people toward Donald Trump who seems the lesser of two evils, even though when you examine his rhetoric, he’s no small-government candidate.//

Any candidate would sound awful for someone who is against the idea of the goverment. No need to stick epithets to make a point.

//But government and central banks will always fail the people because that’s what they were meant to do. //

So the people designed systems throughout history to fail them? Well, checking the stats I gave you above you seem to massively wrong. You need to take some history classes and see how humanity has progressed.

//The word 'Government' comes from the Latin verb gubernare which means: "to control," and the Latin noun “mens” which means: "mind". In other words, the literal translation of the term is “mind-control”.//

Psychology also comes from the word "psych" which means soul. Scientists have demonstrated that there is no such thing as "soul". Nonetheless the word has remained linguistically in our culture. Same thing applies about "the goverment" . There are different kinds of governance around the world. not all are meant to "control your mind" <-- again pointless sensationalism. Writing about a word that was invented 500 years ago to explain a current situation is childish propaganda.

//In order for the American people or any people for that matter to free their minds, they must first rid themselves of the notion that government is legitimate or in any sense useful. In fact, government never works, or certainly not above one layer.//

If people are idiotic enough to support a mind control goverment like you suggest imagine what happens when you cut all those morons loose on the street. By your logic the idiots that gave power to the system are better off remaining under its control. (for the sake of the rest of us)

//There are literally millions of regulations and millions of enforcers in Western countries. The sheer size is impressive. But when you begin to examine actual operations, you find almost everything modern governments do is destructive, ruinous and even genocidal.//

Again. Sensationalist overgeneralisation. CERN in Europe for example promotes science and innovation.

//Anarchy works. Allowing the free-market to make decisions competitively about lifestyle and social solutions is both rational and useful. We live in societies that operate in exactly the opposite way.//

Sure anarchy works but for most people it doesn't. This is why they elect the systems they do. This is why they do not choose anarchy. The free-market has decided. It wants goverment. Again, logic, not your favourite thing.

//Our controllers want that. They need government or they lose control. They put incredible effort into organizing society to remove our ability to control our own lives.//

So what? Free market. They have the money, they make things go round. Much like Apple does with the brain washing ads, goverment does the same. Even in Steemit those who control concepts and posts have the most money and power.

The goverment does its job so well that it has made violence and coercion an acceptable ethical parameter. The free market has spoken for millenia. What you don't like it? Make your own market in Liberland. I don't see you moving there or any other couch surfer-style anarchists. You like to accuse but also like to enjoy everything the "bad" systems provides you.

//In fact, they don’t forbid it. They simply build a matrix around us that hinders our ability to think about our existence any other way.//

Well, obviously not all of us. You don't buy it. I don't buy it.

//Part of that is “voting” in a “democracy.” As if putting someone else in charge of decisions about the way WE ought to live is going to make our lives better. Invariably it doesn’t.//

It does actually. History demonstrates that sometimes democracy does make our life better. Even in anarchic communities you have some kind of democratic elections. Have you ever lived in anarchic society? I don't think it means what you think it means. I don't enjoy democracy but consensus often needs to be reached one way or another.

//But people will go to the voting booths this fall and vote for who they perceive to be the lesser of two evils… as if that’s how we are supposed to exist. Choosing one evil … or the other.//

Well, obviously. I am here in Steemit not because I like interacting with your tinfoiled followers but becaue I despise the rest of the social media even more. Same applies to girlfriends, cars, school, books. You pick the one that is better than the other. Isn't that what a free market is all about?

//After Ron Paul was robbed of any chance at the Presidency in 2012, a great swathe of people turned their back on the entire system. The anarchist/voluntaryist movement grew exponentially. This can be seen in the growth of the world’s largest anarcho-capitalist conference, Anarchapulco (to be held again in February 2017 - click here for more).//

Admittedly this is your most bullshit paragraph. A self promo statement that you make sure to sqeeze in with every single post you make (one way or another). How the heck did you combine Ron Paul with your tinfoiled cheese titled conference is beyond me. seriously. WTF?

I won't comment on more paragraphs since I feel my braincells commiting suicide one by one. Every single paragraph you write is full of crap.

Here is the deal my dear bleached tifoil. You got lucky once in life. Made some money, invested it and made some more. Obviously you didn't want to share the money with the goverment and it was in your best interest to be an "anarchist" "libertarian" to maintain your status. Even the most fanatical communist would do the same and have a change of heart.

Really. is THAT simple. Behind all this ideological crap there is nothing more than personal interest. Same logic applies to every commie and fascist that tries to look after their own personal interest depending how life has unfolded for them. Most people are not lucky and live in shitholes thus they combine powers under collectives (goverment) to balance shit out.

[This is the biggest tinfoil roll I could find. I hope it can get you through the day]
