On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, I fill Kyle in on the recent happenings in the bitcoin privacy space over the past five years, more recent developments with Samourai, Tornado Cash, et al; and we conclude with a sort of retrospective and update on political prisoners and the state of judicial transparency.

Any questions for a Q&A, or topics you’d like us to address? Email [email protected] or DM wherever is convenient.

SHOW GUIDE:

Kyle’s been going to church lately — been a wild year so far, but things are going okay
I begin the overview: bitcoin privacy has never been good, Samourai was basically the only tool out there
An overview of current events, current state of their case, and coming hearings
Some excerpts from Freedom.Tech’s article on the situation plus some commentary from me
What is the best Second Realm money now? Me: until April 25th, I would have said bitcoin, now, I’m not sure
Different situations require different currencies — payments from P.A.Z.NIA to P.A.Z.NIA will likely be digital since remote; barter and other solutions possible for working locally/physically
The USSA Feds (& most nation states) are pushing hard for a CBDC — the prosecutions against crypto privacy show that, but at the same time, outlawing cash does not seem feasible outside of big cities
Still, we need a digital solution that’s privacy-friendly and freedom friendly
Practically speaking, worst case scenarios regarding Samourai, the main task of self-liberators is to find tools to continue to route around the First Realm

We introduce the political prisoners archive, our background with judicial transparency, and WHY it’s important
Most folks that end upon the political prisoners archive (i.e. Constitutional Patriots), end up there from terrible security culture; that’s not necessarily the case with SW and TDev
The state of judicial transparency: much improved, thanks to Aaron Swartz, RECAP, and CourtListener.com
Political field trips, security culture style: watch a lot of police body cam stops from different states, and you realize the standard-operating-procedure is exactly the same; also an insight into judiciary
Digital tools are great, but in-person interaction is far preferable — bitcoin privacy is much harder now, but that doesn’t matter if we barter in physical space & time
If everyone took care of their own backyards, if every individual took a hard look in the mirror, the State would have been abolished by now
A rundown on the many coming episodes of TVP with me and Kyle
Midwest Peace and Liberty Fest is coming up: learn more and register at MPLFest.org — best way to get vetted to come to P.A.Z.NIA Gatherings
VonuFest 5: September 30 – October 7
Take care of your backyards, look in the mirror
