Counts can push their extreme plans on Americans. Armed with extreme money, they can push any agenda as far as they want. They can go ahead no matter whether Americans give our consent.
And this violates
fundamental
American values.
Americans decide what’s right for America’s future, not a few elites. When it comes to major changes and new technologies, Americans expect to be involved, to work out the right balance for our country.
Extreme money can turn any regular problem in America into an extreme threat. Elite, entitled Counts endanger America by wielding extreme E8, E9, E10, E11 Money Counts to:
- Invade the private lives of Americans. Counts have the power to creep into the private lives of Americans. They can track our words and actions and relationships, and get into our personal financial records. Counts act like they don’t have to ask Americans for permission.
- Use our kids for their purposes. Counts hook our kids on social media, gambling, porn, and AI chatbots. Counts twist the feelings of our children to groom them as good followers. Counts wield extreme money to go around American parents and target our kids directly.
- Push extreme politics. Extreme money fuels extreme politics. Counts can sponsor any extreme agenda that most Americans would simply reject as too radical or too wasteful. Armed with unlimited money, just one Count can push deeply flawed ideas on all of America.
- Overwhelm America’s protections. Counts can easily overwhelm America’s protections, including outdated laws and institutions. Americans are left unequipped to defend against the whims and wants of Counts.
- Push nonconsensual acts on all Americans. Replace people with machines? Extract our personal and private data? Overload America with AI data mining plants? Replace our public US dollar with private “crypto” money? Abuse our public lands for self gain? Counts can wield extreme money to force their own extreme plans on all Americans, without our consent.
- Silence voices of moderation. A Count armed with an E8, E9, E10, or E11 Money Count can easily track and threaten anyone brave enough to challenge his plans. He can terrorize and silence any voices of moderation.
On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Big Woods Declaration (BWD) renews the call for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, free from the corruption of extreme money.
