Control of the finance system, fiat currencies, fractional reserve banking, the federal reserve. Counters: competing currencies, gold/silver, crypto, agorism, barter
Indeed, everything here and further above, though - because of the lack of regulation of crypto - it's also a scam resource for pump and dump schemes and money laundering. Crypto supports corruption at the highest levels and most people who've invested in it seriously have lost money. Those who have truly benefited from crypto were quite wealthy before starting their pump and dump scams. For example, the Trump family pocketed $1.4 billion (which had to be disclosed this year) in crypto ventures during 2025 and early 2026.

How are you supposed to rank these things? Obviously a lot of these things are important, but I can't check them all.
I would say the most important is Education/History, as that is a gateway to understanding how we are manipulated with censorship/propaganda/machiavellian trickery. Left vs. Right could be encapsulated into propaganda. Corruption/weaponizing things could be mitigated with education. It's not so simple as pick a category.
Education / Gatekeeping / History is listed a package because it all ties together.
Same with Censorship / Fifth Generation Warfare / Propaganda.
Naturally everything overlaps with everything else.
Perhaps I could present stuff in a loop that ends where it starts, illustrative of cycles.
Example:
History ► Education ► Propaganda ► Gatekeeping ► Censorship ► 5GW ► Weaponization ► Ethics ► Corruption ► Corrupt Matrix Of Rigged Systems ► Ruling Class ► "Authority" ► Machiavelli ► History
Vote for the issues you'd like Santa Libertas to cover (in the show I'm developing). I've clumped related topics to be covered together.
Gatekeeping is a critical aspect of education.
Someone must decide what is learned, even if you're an autodidact.
If you don't understand that, then you're just a vessel to program.
There is a huge difference between being schooled and getting educated.
I think it's always the student's responsibility to think critically and with an open mind about what is presented as an educational opportunity. I also think criticism of education in general is a fascist method of control and that the best way to beat fascism is with a well-educated audience.
School = brainwashing, conformity, programming.
Learning and education come from everywhere.
It's always the autonomous individual's responsibility to do what they can for themselves. This can range from good (autodidact, self-improvement, self-reliance, etc.) to bad (greed, lust, theft, etc.). But they don't live in a bubble - thus their social circles and communities are somewhat co-responsible for all in their spheres. This extends out to states, nations, humanity, and the Earth.

It's freedom of expression, the opposite of control.
Not everyone is born to be a thinker much less critical thinker. And you can't teach motivation, talent, etc. Many folks need assistance and guidance. Schools help. But who schools the schoolers? [A: Political puppets.] Teaching woke shit instead of useful skills like home economics is not practical and purposely harmful to society.

Ah, yes, agorism (and alt economics like barter) is a great word - should go with Autonomy/Freedom.
Every episode will have problems, analysis, and of course solutions - plus hope.

Fraud is a good one. (I'd thought of that the other day too.) Seems like the wheels are falling off.
yep
Third World Immigration / Riots / Terrorism
Good one!

Check the MOST important.
Thus uncheck the less important.
Mention whatever you think was missed.
Why did the poll votes get up to 7 then drop to 5?
And now back to 7?
The 4th industrial revolution is the fusion of human biology and technology.
The jabs were the delivery mechanism, and the technology has been busy self-ass3mbling.
Interest rates. I see you have CBDC, but not vanilla central banking. It's a threat even without CBDC.
Updated.
I've voted for 'Communications / Freedom of Speech + Reach' and 'Accountability' (regulation).
I think education is also essential, but it's listed with 'gatekeeping', which I don't see as the role of education. So I cannot vote that up or down.
I'd agree that almost all wars are class wars.
I'd agree that 'centralisation' is a major problem, as we've seen with the US oligarchy at present and the monopolies it supports and develops.
Anyhow - a very thought-provoking list. Thanks.

Did you 'school' me or 'educate' me?
