Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyoneโs phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuรฑez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizensโ private messages. The Republicans and Macronโs Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to โfight crimeโ, but their real target is regular people. It wouldnโt stop criminals โ they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officialsโ and police messages wouldnโt be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU โ ordinary citizens โ would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germanyโs sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people โ and all Europeans โ remain in danger."

Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast โ while weโre asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms โ and allowed them to be taken away.
Weโve been fed a lie.
Weโve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

RFK Jr. โI'll just tell you one example, and I could sit here and give you THOUSANDS. But in 2002, CDC did an internal study of Atlanta Fulton County, Georgia children, and looked at children who got the MMR vaccine on time and compared those to kids who got them later.
So in other words, kids who got them before 36 months and kids who got them afterward. The data from that study A study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited.
The chief scientist on that, Dr. William Thompson, the senior vaccine safety scientist at CDC, was ordered to come into a room with four other co-authors by his boss, Frank DeStefano, who's the head of the Immunization Safety Branch, and ordered to destroy data. And then they published it without that fact.โ

โก๏ธโ๏ธ FLASHBACK - He just scribbled a few words on an old notepad... and it changed thousands of lives.
"BUY BITCOIN"
With these few letters scribbled in a hurry on a notepad, and presented live behind the chairwoman of the FED, this unknown man would never have thought that this July 12, 2017 would go down in Bitcoin history.
Discover the incredible story of the "Bitcoin Sign".
It all begins in July 2017, in Washington.
The Congressional hearing room is packed, the cameras focused on Janet Yellen, Chairwoman of the US Federal Reserve.
She's about to give a speech on monetary policy, inflation and the stability of the dollar.
But behind her, a young man in a suit, looking studious, has strategically positioned himself so as to be perfectly in the camera's field of vision.
And suddenly, as Yellen begins her speech, he raises a yellow notepad high, on which it reads, in large letters:
"BUY BITCOIN"
The legend of the "Bitcoin Sign Guy" was born.
The young man was Christian Langalis, 25 at the time.
An analyst at a macro fund, with a passion for libertarian philosophy and Austrian economics, he was already convinced that the global monetary system was a house of cards.
He spent his evenings devouring the writings of Schumpeter, Rothbard and Hayek.
For him, Bitcoin is THE way out of the inflationary policies of central banks.
And that day, he acted on a whim.
"I knew I was going to get kicked out of the room, but I just wanted a little screenshot for a laugh later..."
What he didn't know was that this image would become one of the most famous in Bitcoin history.
Christian was fired live... then propelled to iconic status.
As soon as his sign was raised, congressional security swooped down on him. Langalis is escorted out of the room.
The cameras continue to roll.
The journalists, for their part, don't immediately understand what has just happened.
But on Twitter, Reddit and the Bitcoin forums, the scene explodes. The "Bitcoin Sign Guy" meme was born.
Christian receives messages from all over the world, but also... donations.
7 BTC flowed into his wallet in just a few days. At the time, that was still around $16,000.
But that was just the beginning.
Langalis wasn't content to rest on his laurels.
He continued to buy Bitcoin. In his own words, 99% of his fortune remained invested in BTC.
He also co-founded Tirrel Corp, a startup developing Lightning Network wallets on Urbit, to further strengthen users' financial sovereignty.
He has also raised funds for Coin Center (a Bitcoin advocacy organization in Washington), and has become a popular speaker at crypto events.
And all this time, the famous scribbled yellow notepad sat quietly at home, in a sock drawer, almost forgotten.
I took it out after 6 years," he says, "and I felt really weird about it.
In April 2025, Christian finally decided to part with it. He put it up for auction on Scarce City, a platform specializing in auctions paid for in Bitcoin.
The result?
16 BTC, or over 1.1 million dollars at the time.
The buyer, a collector known under the pseudonym "Squirrekkywrath", even specified that he intended to display it in his family office.
This poor yellow notepad, which could have ended up in the garbage can, has become a historical artifact of Bitcoin, on a par with Satoshi's notebooks.
When Langalis is asked how much a Bitcoin will be worth in 10 years' time, he answers without hesitation: "Over a million dollars, for sure."
๐ข Don't hesitate to share if you learn something, and check out the comments where I'll post several photos illustrating this note.
