When you research it, you will find evidence of Atlantis all over the world. There are several ancient places in the world that have the city layout that Plato described as to what Atlantis looked like, including Bolivia in South America. The Great Pyramid in Egypt is a standard pyramid form like many found around the world. In Bosnia, there are several pyramids that are in the basic shape of the Great Pyramid. The largest of these is much larger than the Great Pyramid. Pyramids are found underwater off the coast of Cuba. Pyramids are found off the coast of Japan. There are many places around the world where pyramids can be found. The point is, there was once a worldwide trading civilization. The similarities of the pyramids and other archaeological finds show this. More than likely, the whole Atlantis worldwide trading operation perished in the Great Flood of Noah's day. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) EDIT: I should mention that the water levels around Western Europe coasts, especially the British Isles, were much lower in the distant past. There are many artifacts being found in areas offshore, around Great Britain. More than likely there was a great distribution center for Atlantis there in the distant past. Probably there is a big sort of coverup in the scientific world about this. It would disrupt standard thinking too much if it was formally taught. Look for the redheaded, copper mining giants in the United States Lake Michigan area from the ancient past.

9/11 probably wasn't entirely an inside job. But there is a whole lot of evidence and logic out there that shows that there was and is a lot of government coverup regarding it. The U.S., besides attempting to secure oil in the Middle East (obviously, it is the oil people who are using government), the whole U.S. banking system is on the verge of collapse. I may even be on its way down already. The Middle East, particularly Iraq, is part of the way that the U.S. is using to forestall this banking fall. Americans will be messed up in their lives if the USD fails. So they have good reason to NOT listen even if the truth in this thread is a wake-up call. Ironically, one of the best audios explaining the simple whys of the Middle East things that are happening, was done by a guy named John Gliha, whose goal it is to wipe out the fraud involved in lending. Listen to John's audio that explains why the banking system and the U.S. government are doing what they are doing in Iraq. It has to do with the Iraqi Dinar. The audio, found at http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-112896/TS-680915.mp3, is almost an hour long. But it is quite interesting, even the parts that don't talk directly about the Dinar. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) EDIT: The information that explains about how the Dinar props up the Dollar starts at 24 minutes into the audio. Also, perk your ears up at about 50 minutes into the audio.

Don't dump Bitcoin now. This is your chance to buy. Five years from now, Bitcoin will be tremendously larger than it is now... maybe even larger than we can imagine. Watch the video. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thank goodness that I am an idiot. That way, when they take me to court because I can't pay my bills because of the Bitcoin drop, they can't hold me to anything, because they can't harm idiots. I can fall back on common law and require to face my accuser, him/her/it on the stand. Since "they" are a corporation, they can't get on the stand and answer my questions. I win. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Either one is fine with me. But it looks like I'll have to make my own, what with the price of Bitcoin and all. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Actually, the USA doesn't fear anything. It can't. It is words on paper. Words on paper don't have emotions. The fear is in the people who use government against us, so they can rape and plunder us and make profit. They fear they might lose their control, and the profits will drop off. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Government DOES want to keep us under their thumb... so THEY can rape and plunder us with power company ripoff, using fear of EMP, while they don't let us do anything about it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I dunno man. If the government launched an EMP attack in the US they would be the primary loser. It would destroy millions of cars and other things with electrical circuits. It would require billions and billions to rebuild. For what? That's not the point. The point is that they are scaring us into a fearful frenzy so we don't know which way to go. With the efficiency of modern diesel engines, we don't need power companies any more. But, if we realized it, we would move towards freedom, and they don't want that. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

My dad used to tell me that the symptoms of tiredness and laziness are very similar. Look at our faces. Do you see fear? Or is it anger? Take from the middle class and give to the poor is simply an excuse to take from middle class slaves and give to the rich. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Government promotes an EMP attack that would be devastating. How? Except if you live in a sparsely populated area, they won't let your neighborhood get together and purchase a Kabota diesel (very efficient) and provide electricity for your whole neighborhood. Government DOES want to keep us under their thumb... so THEY can rape and plunder us with power company ripoff, using fear of EMP, while they don't let us do anything about it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Ah, I thought it said "Gold Showers," and I was ready to dispute the value of gold with regard to Bitcoin. Such is life. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I don't think that means what you think it means. Since I wrote it, it means to me whatever I want it to mean. Because of this, I don't even have to think about what it means. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Son of a gun. I just had chicken 6 hours ago. And now reading the title of this thread, I want more. But I'm all out. Is KFC open yet? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

There are some statistics that suggest democide (death of citizens by their own government) in 1900 the 20th century exceeded 100,000,000 deaths.
FTFY And _that's_ an important nit of knowledge. Government brought you that. Sorry. Forgot the "s" on "1900." ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Good thing it is payday. Time to buy. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) EDIT: Can't decide which is the better deal, the Iraqi Dinar, or Bitcoin.

The point in all the above^^ stuff is clear. Governments are needed to protect us all from, say, terrorists (each other?). But once they get into control, governments wind up becoming the terrorists that they were expected to protect their citizens from. http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.htmlhttps://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTMYou can find evidence that Stalin might have caused the deaths of as many as 60 to 100 million people in Eastern and Northern Europe (including parts of Asia). There are some statistics that suggest democide (death of citizens by their own government) in 1900 exceeded 200,000,000 deaths. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
