The U.S. government sees what's happening all over the world with protests and revolutions in various countries. They know, they are scared of their own citizens, and they are obviously preemptively putting systems in place to cut off public communication to make such protests and revolutions nearly impossible to organize here. None of that is even possible without mass communication. I've known this for some time, but see the mad max 2020 post in this forum for more info. Some people are so dang oblivious.

The Arab Uprising of 2011 and Occupy Wall Street really woke up the U.S. government and they saw how serious and resilient people can be, even against semi-advanced governments. They basically had to change laws to be able to kick people out of (Menlow?) park in NYC. That's eventually what ended Occupy. I guess what I'm trying to say is, this is much larger than just Bitcoin. It scares the shit out of me. Sad
