Excerpt from Satoshi’s paper: A personal country?

It is the prospect of sovereign individuals that seems to plague today’s nation-state the most. This strange perception of threat is a product of the political genealogy, and generations have increasingly equated the state with society since the American Revolution, while simultaneously posing individuals as enemies of both. This equation will be deeply dissatisfied with the founders of the American Republic, who exactly appealed to a new national project to eliminate the entrenched and predatory abuse of over-classes (a noble-a noble-a legitimate custodian who considers himself permanent, legitimate custodians of the best interests of the people. Thus, the political question that makes the American founder animation is: How does a person rule autonomous without establishing a hereditary governor? How enough nervousif not conflictmaintain the rule of law between the state and society and be preserved without becoming a prison?

The founders designed a clever solution to this problem based on the premise of revolution: the rights of individuals, not states, are fundamental to free societies. (1) In other words, people have rights; governments do not. The government has power, but The only one Those whom they represent are expressly delegated to them. Rather, the people have the right to enumerate and do not count, while the state has only these powers to clearly enumerate. Any action taken by a State agent outside of the enumerating power is a usurpation of the rights of the people. The people must uphold these clear restrictions and can seize the enumeration of the state at any time.

In other words, the founders of the United States reversed the main political assumptions in the cultural world: not those who must prove themselves worthy of rights, they were innocent before the law, or they had cleared their inheritance obligations to the state. On the contrary, it is the state that bears the burden of proof: trustworthy; its ability to take specific actions; any person or entity is guilty by law; or it should exercise its ability to war with the blood and treasure of the people. Specifically, this means that in the age of American constitutional practices, when debates between federalists and anti-federalists rage, the formial consensus suggests that the American state will have no power, no money, and no army of its own. The United States Constitution stipulates that all these things will be effectively loaned to the truly sovereign people.

However, things have changed profoundly since the ratification of the Constitution. Since then, the United States has not only quickly established a standing army. At that time, that army had almost a hundred conflicts declared and unannounced in foreign and domestic countries. Although most Americans today may be familiar with the massive conflicts in which their countries participate—for example, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the Two World Wars—they may be surprised by the majority of the wars that the United States participates in. In the nineteenth century, these wars were mainly carried out with American Indian tribes as part of the colonization of the West, while in the 20th century, they were mainly directed at socialist and communist movements around the world. In turn, under the banner of the war on terrorism, conflict in the twenty-first century has been prosecuted and, more recently, containment of hostile states. Although the Constitution granted Congress the sole power to declare war, in reality, Congress declared war only in some major conflicts: the war of 1812, the war against Mexico and Spain, and the war against specific wars in World War I and World War II. The rest are through some form of unilateral administrative action, whether through presidential decrees or through military officer rulings.

Just as the U.S. government now seems to have its own military, it seems to have its own money. In 1913, Congress passed the Sixteenth Amendment, giving it the right to impose permanent income tax on the American people; shortly thereafter, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gains tax and corporate tax, while other permanent taxes have been introduced for decades. Since then, this money has been widely called “government income” rather than “people’s money.” But the federal government does not limit its spending to people’s money. Instead, it is widely borrowed, supporting a fierce administrative state with so numerous and undefined institutions that there is no authoritative reference. Federal Gazette, Online Federal Gazette, US Government Manualthis Resource Books for the U.S. Executive Agencya unified agenda for federal regulation and deregulation, foia.gov and the United States. This eliminates the checks and balances created by the authors of the Constitution to limit the power of the state, exposing the American people to an increasing number of legal bushes, they do nothing and have no election ability to change or abolish. As a result, a fantasy arises that the government has its own power.

But while military conflict, taxation and bureaucratic rules are all obvious manifestations of state power, they are supported as a platform that seems so normal and ubiquitous today that it largely fails to draw attention to the financial system of the central bank issuing and managing the undevoted supply and price of Fiat money. These currencies are used as the basic currency of reserve assets for commercial banks in turn as loans. Commercial banks and central banks around the world form a network of financial intermediaries that share information with each other about every transaction through their network, which is also shared with military, intelligence and police agencies of governments and intergovernmental organizations around the world. The government is eyeing the economic activities of everyone and organizations around the world and is not affected by any privacy laws or constitutional provisions regarding the search and seizure of assets. This alliance between banking power and police power was realized in the early 20th century under what was known as the banker revolution, a revolution so successful that few people knew it had happened.
