PRIVACY and LIBERTY are both parts of the nature of every individual human being. We are all born with the LIBERTY to think in PRIVATE. Our minds are our individual kingdoms, where every thought happens in secret. POWER seeks to abolish both LIBERTY and PRIVACY. Ron Paul explains the threat.

Privacy Is Liberty

| Hello, everybody. | |
| Thank you for joining in for this special report. | |
| Privacy is Liberty. | |
| Where there is no privacy, there is no liberty. | |
| Privacy in America is under siege. | |
| Advocates for privacy are constantly being lectured. | |
| If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. | |
| If so, then government has nothing to gain. | |
| The answer to this is, if you have nothing to hide, you still have plenty to fear, with no freedom to protect. | |
| Suspicious and illegal spying on the people contradicts the principles of liberty and serves the interests of the desperate. | |
| Those who accept the refrain of nothing to hide reflects a lack of understanding and concern for the importance of liberty. | |
| Social media, in collusion with government, encourage the people to give up their privacy for fun and games. | |
| Government agencies like the TSA, FISA courts, FBI, CIA, IRS, the financial system, and the judicial system, and with the use of social security numbers, government can now follow our every move. | |
| Constant fear from home and abroad, provoked by the media government propaganda machine, is used to convince the people that sacrificing some freedom for safety and security is necessary. | |
| Many Americans have accepted the dangerous notion that it is a proper function of government to protect us from ourselves and to keep us from making bad decisions. | |
| Safety and security is a goal of a slave owner. | |
| When government attempts this, it prompts massive intrusiveness into the personal habits of all citizens. | |
| The move towards a cashless society is the ultimate threat to financial privacy, yet many accept it as a mere convenience. | |
| Let's hope that blockchain technology will enable the people to protect themselves against an overly intrusive government. | |
| But vigilance is required. | |
| The government will not willingly acquiesce to the people's desire to protect their privacy, since that would undermine government secrecy. | |
| We must remember that in an authoritarian state, as government secrecy grows, the people's privacy is diminished. | |
| Empires are installed by lies and violence and are maintained by fear of government force being delivered in the dark of night. | |
| Empires are dependent on secrecy and intimidation. | |
| A republic is required to honor privacy, which allows liberty to thrive. | |
| Any sacrifice of privacy is a capitulation to government secrecy and tyranny. | |
| Without privacy, liberty falters and there is no peace. | |
