Rep. Thomas Massie: “Exist outside of the system as much as you can.” “Get your food outside of the system.” “Do your finances outside of the system.” “If you can communicate outside of the system, do that.” “If you can educate outside of the system, do that.” “Generate as much of your energy outside the system as you can.” This is true freedom. True health freedom means taking care of your own health without relying on Big Pharma. Our freedoms are given to us by God, not granted by government. @RepThomasMassie @brownstoneinst

2026: @RepThomasMassie at @Polyface_Farms Fresh off the most expensive primary in history. Dogs don’t bark at parked cars. Epstein files. CARES Act. How the sausage is made. Don’t vote in better clowns. Get the clowns to do what you want.

Thomas Massie speaks wisely about freedoms of the soul & living with conscious choice in every possible context ……

He forgot to mention "take money from a South American dictator so you can AFFORD to live "outside the system."
58
He doesn't care about kids either. It's a big con. He's done nothing to protect kids.

YES. Because the system is very sick and the American people deserve healthy choices at every level.

This is exactly right. The system is collapsing in front of us, and it behooves all of us to figure out how to live life outside of it or we'll face a very rough transition in the next few years.

I can understand where he's coming from. Self-reliance for ourselves and our families is indeed the goal. But governments play an important role in creating the environment where self-reliance can be realised, particularly in preserving rights and freedoms, so complete disengagement is not ideal. That's how government becomes corrupt - when good people walk away or choose to not be involved and the remaining people are not the best candidates to serve

Doesn't the passport require birth certificate? Social security? The exact same things that they require for real ID?

My kind of thinker 🤩

@RepThomasMassie it’s something a lot of us want to do. Unfortunately you must have $$$$$$ … and a lot of it.

I support Massie to the extent that he works closely with Ro Khanna on key issues, which he does a lot. So kudos to him. That said, there's no govt agency called Big Pharma. There's no govt Department of Big Pharma. Big Pharma = corporations. TAX and REGULATE. Solved.

That works if everyone else in the country shares your values. You can unplug from the system, knowing people around you who look like you & act like you, are in positions of power. We don’t have that. So, this advice will get your children murdered in the future. Murdered.

The main reason people don't like freedom is because it requires responsability.

How do you get your food outside the system? Same with health. Would like answers.

Massie was in Power and at the controls of the system until he attacked the people that elected him. Now he's outside attack them again. No Soup for you.

Yeah well that’s not possible for most of America who lives in food deserts.

“Do your finances outside of the system.” i.e. BUY SILVER!

To pose as a righteous defender of virtues with platitudes is the requirement of every capable mountebank. Just don't mention Reid Hoffman etcetera.
23
Don’t we have the best system in the world? Aren’t we the envy of the universe?

In other words, hope for the best but plan for the worst!

Tell that to your barista or waiter next time, @RepThomasMassie. Huge swaths of the workforce simply cannot.

Yeah, because that's easy to do.
