An infinite profinite group such that any $p$-adic representation has finite image

Fix a prime $ p $. We call an infinite profinite group $ G $ a Fontaine-Mazur group (with respect to $ p $) if every continuous homomorphism $ G\to {\rm GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p) $ has finite ...

This is a continuation of this question, where I talked about the case $n=2^k$. Let $C$ be the $n\times n$-permutation matrix over $\mathbb{F}_2$ of the $n$-cycle. We needed to know the explicit ...
