Fight For Freedom, Not For Fascists.
Never confuse fighting for freedom with building a corporate empire.
Governments Are Killing Privacy & Freedom.
Do You Have A Plan?
Governments around the world are working to kill privacy in all its forms, and most people have no idea that it's happening. Even those who know about it don't seem to comprehend how fast it's coming, or how radically it will change their day to day lives. Even fewer have any sort of plan for how to exist in a world where anything they say or do could be recorded and stored for eternity in a giant A.I. powered data center, and can be retrieved at will by any bureaucrat looking to assert his authority or law enforcement officer looking for someone to feed into the court system. Words you typed into social media ten years ago could be found by a system of artificial intelligence that is always looking, always cataloging, and always reporting, making you a prime candidate to send to the for-profit prison system. Thought crimes will become hate crimes in a system that demands obedience and passivity above all else.
Already, cities are filling up with surveillance cameras that stare at us constantly, scanning our faces and recording our license plate numbers. Even a visit to a friend's house results in our images being uploaded by a doorbell camera to a data center, and often these cameras are accessible by law enforcement officials without a warrant. Actually these doorbell cameras don't even need you to approach a house; they can record you casually walking by on a public sidewalk with your wife. Or was that the person you're having an affair with? The camera captures it, either way.
Police forces are now using drones to spy on you from the sky. These drones can hover almost silently hundreds of feet above, videotaping your actions. Want to smoke a joint in your backyard? Look up.
But these aren't the only threats to privacy. Cars will soon be equipped with kill switches so that the police, and possibly others, can shut it off and stop you in your tracks. In-car cameras, already standard in some cars, will silently watch you as you drive. Where is the video sent? Who can view it? Can you have the videos deleted, or are they stored forever, able to be retrieved by strangers with an agenda? The cameras are another layer of surveillance on top of the GPS system built in to most cars now that relay your driving data to a number of third parties, possibly including your insurance company. Even if you don't have GPS, you most likely carry your phone with you everywhere. Today's phones are less communication devices and more surveillance and tracking devices, monitoring everything and selling your data to the highest bidder.
I suppose you could stay home but if you have a "smart" TV, it probably has a camera hidden in the screen plus the ability to record conversations in your home. Any device with voice control, such as Amazon Alexa and some streaming video boxes, could potentially eavesdrop on your most intimate or angry moments. We're told these devices don't watch or listen without our permission, but companies have already been caught violating that promise.
As if all of the above wasn't bad enough, the worst is yet to come. There is a worldwide agenda to lock down the internet. The internet has become the public square, the place where mankind exposes government tyranny and corporate corruption. In a world that is transitioning into a global police state, free and open communication is seen as a threat. At first, social media and "adult" sites (the definition of "adult" sites being extremely vague) are being targeted by requiring users to prove they're legal adults before being able to log in. The verification system used will vary from state to state, but most favor a scheme where your driver's license is uploaded to a third-party company chosen by the government that will confirm you are who you say you are and then provide you with a code to use when accessing restricted sites. Another proposal is more extreme, requiring your computer's operating system to lock you out of restricted sites until your computer receives a code from the third party authorization company. Age verification exposes your true identity to people who don't have to expose their identity to you, and this in turn makes you vulnerable to government officials who want to end free speech and prosecute people for "wrong-think". And once any sort of age verification system is put into place, it will be expanded as part of a full digital ID system that will be used to identify you all day, every day, on the internet and in the real world. Instead of being an independent, free, private person, you'll become a trackable commodity, and the data generated by your mundane living will be sorted and sold and have more value to information brokers than anything you produce in your 9-5 job. But you won't receive any of that value. You're the cow, not the rancher.
And I predict that eventually, within 5 years, all access to the internet will be shut off at the ISP level unless you have permission from the government, which will monitor every keystroke, every site visited, and every comment made, everything dumped into an A.I. data center for review. Speak out against the establishment? Maybe you'll just be "re-educated". Maybe you'll be jailed. Or maybe they'll turn off your bank account for a month or two.
All of these things are either coming soon, or they're already here. So I ask again: Do you have a plan?
Will you quietly obey, try to "go along to get along" in the hope you'll be left alone? Will you risk everything and fight back against this digital tyranny? Will you look for workarounds, such as ways to spoof age verification or avoid ISP blocking? Or will you turn away from the internet and enjoy an analog life, focusing on what's real and can't be shut off from afar?
My own plan is to fight back for as long as I can and hope someone smarter than me invents a private, functional way around the tyranny. If that way doesn't appear, I'll stop using all internet-connected devices except when absolutely necessary to survive, such as buying food, renewing my driver's license, or paying a bill. As for all the cameras and drones, the defensive options are very limited. Moving to a rural area and limiting time spent in cities and on highways is about all we can do at this point until better solutions are found.
For now, I'm buying a lot of books, real books, printed on paper, that can never be censored once they're on my shelf.
Because the digital world is a trap. The future is analog.

Trump Reveals How He Really Feels About Guns.
“You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns."
(Referring to bringing a legal handgun to a legal protest.)
"I don’t like any shooting. I don’t like it. But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn’t play good either."
(Referring to the death of Alex Pretti, a protester who was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis.)
“We have to take the guns away from these people that have them and they are bad people that shouldn’t have them. Take the guns first, go through due process second."
(Referring to so-called "red flag" laws that allow law enforcement to confiscate guns from anyone considered to be a threat even when they have no criminal record and no history of mental illness.)
"I’m going to write the bump stock; essentially, write it out. So you won’t have to worry about bump stock. Shortly, that will be gone."
(Referring to Trump's executive order banning bump stocks on rifles. His order was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court.)
As social unrest grows in the United States, sparked by both ICE immigration enforcement and protests by Communist groups wanting a revolution, can we trust Donald Trump to defend our right to protect ourselves?
His own words aren't very reassuring.
How The Elites Keep Us Enslaved.

"The bankers will ensure we remain indebted; The pharmaceutical industries will ensure we remain sick; The media will ensure we remain misinformed; and the state will ensure all of this is done legally!"
Slavery never ended; the system of control became more gentle and discrete.
Take Action To Resist Digital ID!
"We are at the brink. Fear and propaganda are the sales pitch. Digital ID is the product. It is marketed as safety but built for control. If you accept digital ID now, it may be the last real choice you ever make."
Despite the lies being told to us by politicians, technocrats, and news media propagandists, digital ID isn't being introduced to protect us, or to make life more convenient, or to stop illegal immigration. Digital ID is nothing but a tool of control by the world's wealthiest people who want to own everything on the planet...and that includes every one of us who can't afford to buy our own freedom. Digital ID is a step toward a global feudal economy, the introduction of slavery on a scale the world has never seen before, enforced by artificial intelligence, drones, robots, and any corrupt police officers willing to sell out humanity for a steady paycheck.
Do you really think they're building all those massive data centers to make your internet searches easier? No, those centers are being built so our lives can be tracked and controlled from cradle to grave -- everything we do, everything we buy, every place we go, everyone we interact with, and one day, all of our thoughts -- cataloged and analyzed by amoral machines that will decide what is best for us. Freedom, gone. Creativity, gone. Love and joy, gone.
We're closer to this dystopian future than most people realize. And it starts with digital ID, if we allow it.
A group of people in the United Kingdom are on the front lines taking action to inform the public about the dangers of digital ID and also giving advice on how to resist its implementation. I've republished one of their action plans above but there's more available on their website, massnoncompliance.com. Although the site is focused on the UK, don't be complacent. Digital ID is being rolled out worldwide, including in the United States. The "Real ID" scheme in the U.S. is the first phase of its introduction here.
I urge you to learn more about digital ID and then do your part to stop it.
The alternative is, quite frankly, slavery.

Resist Slavery: Say No To Digital ID.
"Imagine a future where access to work, healthcare, or travel can be cut off simply by flipping a digital switch. This slow normalization of digital ID is the frog in a boiling pot: Each step seems harmless until the system is fully established and resistance becomes nearly impossible." -- Elizabeth Lawrence
