There is a disturbing rise in financial censorship. The best and clearest example we have in Canada, where the government is trying desperately to stop the flow of funds to protestors in the capital.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now invoked emergency measures that give him unrestrained powers.
Last week, Tamara Lich, one of the protest leaders, was arrested and her bank account frozen. She did not commit a crime but because the government seized power to enable the arrest of dissidents. This is what we usually call a political prisoner.
The government moved to freeze bank accounts of protestors and those who donated to the cause. The crackdown has now extended to cryptocurrencies, with the government ordering exchanges to cut off services to political dissidents.
The amazing thing about this multi-week protest is that the government has not once met with the protestors.
These tyrannical actions show how desperate the ruling class is to preserve its place at the top of society. Any clear-thinking person can see that these actions are unlawful and unjust. But more and more people are awakening all over the world and realize how our freedoms are truly in danger.
The tide is turning. The liberty trend will continue and accelerate.
