My reading of "SoftWar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin" by Major Jason Paul Lowery. This video uses the book in accordance with http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 under which the book was published.

***2023/07/27: Jason has been ordered to stop selling his book and asked to stop speaking on the matter publicly. So I am definitely going to carry on.***

Note: This is a "first" edition. There are typos. I point some out and I might be wrong.

***Image and audio in each video will improve as I learn how to do this better***

Jason's Twitter account has been "acting weird." Read his old stuff if it is still up.

"The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of authority is to accept that the choice is the master's alone to make, which means that the person is alredy, by definition, a slave." ~ Larken Rose
