The Tyranny of Digital Monitoring: There is no greater threat to freedom than centralized bank’s control over your digital footprint

There have been videos showing a young woman either buying goods at a market, such as a shelf check out, who has a chip in her hand, or the reader is scanning her palm print and using that to approve her transaction in her account.  And she’s smiling and is excited about it, as if it’s the next great thing for the human race.  The belief is that the technology is terrific and can be trusted. We should all put our faith in centralized bankers committed to communism, who will then gain power over us regarding whether we are allowed to have a business transaction.  I have been on the other side of the world more than once, where my account was turned off because someone at the credit card company flagged me for “unusual behavior.” After all, I didn’t notify them of my travels the way they wanted me to.  It’s a real problem putting our lives in the hands of these pinheaded bureaucrats, especially as a cash supply.  Turning off our access to the things we need and converting everything to digital is dangerous.  It might appear convenient, but the goal of the centralized financial institutions and the communist governments behind them, such as the intentions of the World Economic Forum, is to get us hooked on convenience so that they can gain power over us.  Some easy ones that come to mind are calibrations on the stupid smart meters on our homes that can be cranked up to read more usage than is happening, jacking up your price because they tag some ESG requirement onto your bill that you don’t support.  Because the reader is not mechanically driven but is digital, it can be changed at will, just like they want to do with a digital currency, where they can decrease or increase the value of it depending on who is using it. 

I recently had a significant problem with the monopoly company that supplies water to my home.  It’s so bad that I’m about to dig a well and get off the grid.  Whenever you call them, they give you nonsense and act like you are wasting their time.  There is no customer service because they don’t have to; they are a government monopoly, essentially just like Duke Energy is.  I had some $200 water bills because the meter misrepresented my usage.  Since they converted to a digital water meter, it has been a problem and a constant fight.  Technology did not improve my life; it has wasted vast amounts of time talking to stupid people who could care less and has surrendered thoughts to technology.  This is not “smart” technology; it is bringing us tyranny.  It is giving people power over us who don’t deserve it, and they want more of it.  Letting them see what we are doing all the time and trusting them to give us access to things like power, water, or currency, which they can turn off if we don’t behave the way the ruling government wants us to, is a horrendous mistake.  In all the examples I have provided, the honest answer is never to trust technology and to use a more traditional form of exchange, such as in some faraway countries where your credit cards get turned off.  Good ol’ fashion cash is still the best option and is what I used to get out of that situation until the stupid banks in New York figured out that the problem was on their end. 

I get so tired of hearing stories about “national security,” whether it’s China spying on us, Trump taking home souvenirs from his time in the White House, or some justification for giving money to Ukraine for corrupt politicians to money launder their interactions with illegal activity.  Or aliens landing on Earth and threatening to take over the world.  Nothing is more critical to national security than digital currency, smart meters, and centralized control over our digital accounts without other options to provide freedom from companies that suddenly have more power over us than they ever should.  What they did to gain that power, in using Covid as a bioweapon that killed people and harmed many others to steer society in this digital control direction, should be part of a war crimes commission, and people must be prosecuted.  These are people assaulting free people worldwide, and their dangerous partnerships with our representative governments are diabolical and highly illegal.  But most people haven’t caught on to just how bad all this is.  Forget about sending troops off to some faraway place to fight a war that governments told us was important, killing innocent people and saying they are doing it for “freedom” when they are allowing these communist corporations to have so much power over our daily lives, and letting them get away with murder.  No wonder support for military action is declining everywhere.  We can’t trust the government that starts these wars, and we certainly can’t trust them to defend our rights and freedoms from the real enemy, these terrorists in finance who control these companies who then control our digital footprint. 

I always find some alternative to these companies, even the monopolies.  The way to hurt them most is to get off their grid–financial system, power, water, and internet networks.  I can live quite happily without any of their stuff.  I remember life before the internet; the world was much better.  Convenience is not worth surrendering freedom to; that is the deal all these companies want to make with you.  That’s why they want a chip in your hand to complete every transaction, so they can track you with AI and develop an account that gives them ultimate control over you no matter where you are.  And if you don’t behave as they want, they’ll turn you off.  I am grateful that I could live just fine without their stuff.  Camping a lot has shown me that plenty of technology, such as solar-powered generators and water purifiers, can still give you the comforts of modern life without being a part of their digital controls.  I can live a great everyday life in my RV without being a part of any government-controlled grid. I recommend that everyone use that competitive option whenever possible to fight against all this tech tyranny.  The way to hurt them most is to take away their power over you.  There are plenty of options, and you should use them whenever possible.  In truth, this is one of the reasons I have traveled so much in 2023.  I have wanted to be off the internet grid, away from the water supply, and away from all the hidden ESG penalties with Duke Energy and other companies that BlackRock has hijacked to impose climate change standards.  All while a bunch of dumb politicians cheers on some war with Ukraine like some brain-dead seal clapping for a fish.  I like to get away from their grid and read many books not connected to the internet.  It is an excellent vacation to be away from incompetent people who have suddenly been given too much control over our lives with digital monitoring that will eventually be completely controlled by Artificial Intelligence programmed to do the bidding of communist governments like China.  Digital monitoring is the greatest threat to national security, and until people start dealing with it in that regard, they’ll keep getting away with it.

The Scam of Cyber Security: What’s the rush for all this technology–who benefits from it–not us

Each week I have a lot of people trying to waste my time regarding cyber security, and I’ll say here what I say to all of them.  I don’t trust computers, I think it’s ridiculous to put so much private information online, and I can live quite well without it.  Cyber security is a scam, like many things from institutions today.  The same people who will likely hack your computer and steal your information are the same people who are telling you that cyber security is the only way you can survive in the future.  This is the case with Microsoft from the 90s.  People realized that Windows-based systems were particularly vulnerable to viruses.  Then, of course, to operate Windows, you would have to subscribe to some anti-virus software to use the dumb program.  It’s still that way primarily, and it all comes down to a scam.  Ironically, this is precisely how Bill Gates has inserted himself into the world as the Health Minister, he helps unleash viruses so that you have to buy the vaccine he is behind to control all of society.  If a company is talking about cyber security, they are telling you that their software isn’t ready for prime time and that the only people who benefit from it are the bad guys in the world.  The most secure thing to do would be not to use their software if they find that they, as a company, can’t provide that level of security for their customers.  My policy is to keep as little online so that some propped-up villain can’t hack it.  If these systems aren’t more secure than they claim, why use them?  The only people benefiting from all these cybersecurity methods are those making the software. 

All the two-way authentication methods need to be faster.  If you have to slow down your life as much as these modern companies suggest, then all the tech gadgets are worthless.  It’s regressing our culture, not making it better.  With all this concern over A.I. hackers and hackers having easy access to our online activity, why are we making ourselves so vulnerable?  The only people benefiting are the one-world government types who want to funnel all information into a centralized source so they can control us.  Technology isn’t helping the rest of us improve our lives.  Increasingly, we are finding that we must wait for technology to catch up.  I hear from many IT departments worldwide who essentially think it is permissible to slow down their companies and their opportunities for production because they believe that cyber security is more of a priority.  I had a case recently where I was working late at night on multiple projects, at around 1 to 2 in the morning, and suddenly my computer went into a mandatory update.  I didn’t tell it to, it assumed that at the late hours, I would be sleeping, so it went into an update mode that took well over 15 minutes.  The computer figured I had all the time in the world to sit around waiting on it to do its stupid thing.  But I didn’t have the time.  I tossed the computer across the room and turned to the old-fashioned way of doing things, with sheets of paper and raw calculations written upon them.  If technology doesn’t speed my life up and make it better, then it’s an enemy.  It’s that simple. 

Technology is not in charge, as much as the World Economic Forum people want us all to believe.  They are the ones who are creating the marketplace for all the identity theft and other fraudulent activity online.  Because they want technology to take over the world essentially, they are pushing it out upon the world too fast because they want it. It certainly isn’t beneficial for us ordinary people.  It helps them get to their cashless society, digital fraud-based currencies, and centralized control of all means of production.  That’s what they are after with their double authentication codes, where every time you are away from your computer for a few minutes, you must sign back in with passwords that constantly change.  And to work your computer, you have to have a phone tracking you all over the place so that some mindless A.I. program can call you to ensure you are using the computer.  Online banking only helps these power-hungry globalists get control of our lives, making us wait on them to get their products to work right.  But if everything is so insecure, then why are we using it in the first place?  What’s the benefit?  Those are the questions we should be asking.  We should not be waiting on technology to “work.”  I would rather deal with a person directly than some computer interface.  Call it old-fashioned, but I don’t want to mess with all that ridiculous security.  It’s not worth it to me to use some computer that is essentially spying on everything I do so that it can go to the NSA to be analyzed by hostile forces in government.  That isn’t my idea of an intelligent approach to the future. 

If these computer interfaces are so insecure, the companies putting them out need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to improve them before offering them to the marketplace.  There is no rush for most of us.  The push for computers and online transactions to become such a big part of our lives comes from the goals of the United Nations and their masters at the World Economic Forum.  They want us to be inconvenienced with their products to fulfill their dumb 2030 targets for international commerce, which takes power away from countries where they can manage them and puts it all in the hands of mindless European bureaucrats.  They are the ones who want digital currencies that they can manipulate with Modern Monetary Theory and can turn all of society into a cashless society.  So the burden for security falls on them.  Not the rest of us slowed down to a mind-numbing speed because of all their dumb technology and the cyber security needed to make it usable.  Cyber security, as it has always been, is a scam to make technology appear better than it is.  Forcing it into the marketplace has only created a new breed of criminal in the world, the hackers who otherwise would have a more challenging time stealing people’s money.  Technology makes it easier for them to prey on innocent people, which Bill Gates is pleased about.  But for the rest of us, we should be asking why we are rushing to get all this technology into the marketplace only to be restricted by its limits.  All the companies buying into this cyber security scam will find themselves less profitable and greatly limited by the slowness of technology rather than any real benefits.  If something is as insecure as computer technology over the internet, we shouldn’t use it for anything other than information.  But personal banking and business networks should be done the old-fashioned way until technology can get it together as it is now. It’s just a scam that only benefits the bad guys in the world.  And why would we want to do that?

Corporate Selfishness: They don’t respect our time, or money

They Don’t Respect our Time

It’s not enough to talk about the Constitution as it applies to the government and the people who elect it. One of my concerns about the purpose of my Gunfighter’s Guide to Business is to more appropriately define the relationship that corporations have with society and government in general. This has essentially been a problem since the Jackson administration, where Cornelius Vanderbilt first exposed the cracks of corporate power in the years that followed. Now, of course, I’m not a believer in heavy regulation, and I do not think the government can manage power well at all. So they are certainly not capable of controlling corporate governance and shouldn’t even try. By nature, they always need money, and corporations all too easily buy them off with donations, which is why most of the corruption we see these days is happening. Corporations do not care about the Constitution. I have never been in a business exchange in all my years where business people suddenly said, “oh, that might be unconstitutional.” They simply will say, “well, if people want to get paid, they’ll put up with it.” That is why Biden attacked the vaccine mandates the way he did. The American Republic is most vulnerable through its corporations rather than through Constitutional mandates, so this is a long-time problem that needs a very modern solution. I have started to tackle this need in my book, and I’m sure many discussions will spawn from the continued necessity. 

So it is in that context, I say, especially among the new tech companies, that corporate America does not respect the people they do business with, and that needs to change dramatically.   It is a good thing that all companies should cherish to have a customer. But, corporations, whether it’s McDonald’s, Disney, network television, Wal-Mart, etc., have evolved over the years under government protections to disregard the customer experience. With more and more technology emerging, they have really come to abuse their relationship with consumers. And consumers have accepted this abuse by default because it’s coming from every direction so fast and furious that we haven’t really taken the time to understand what is happening to us. This is most obvious in the complete disregard of our personal time and freedoms concerning our corporations. Corporations, by their nature, are like only children; they assume they have exclusive access to the attention they want without considering all the other elements that are competing for the same time and money. For instance, McDonald’s isn’t thinking about the time and money that P&G is committing to new shampoo when it comes out with a new fish sandwich for the season of Lent. But the consumer only has so many hours in the day and so much expendable income. So when all these various elements seek selfishly to consume every waking hour of a customer’s life, there are lots of adverse effects that cascade off the experience that has a negative impact on the nature of our government in general.

For instance, I’m a Call of Duty player. I’d play it a lot more if I could, but I sleep about 7 hours a day these days. The rest of my 24 hour day is carefully planned in 15-minute increments. I do not have “free time.” I have lots of managed time, but I do not have empty time that is filled by random behavior. So I maybe get a half-hour a day to play Call of Duty which I consider a luxury. Now when you are in the Call of Duty world, or the platform of PlayStation in general, they make it so that you could easily spend 24 hours a day playing their game and their game only. It is quite a culture of game players, and I can see why many people who want to be good at it would easily stay home and play that game all day, all night, for seven days a week. There is enough content to really just live in the Call of Duty world. No wonder our employment numbers are so low now that the government has taught people that they are willing to pay people to stay home. I look at the number of people playing Call of Duty with me whenever I am playing and think a lot about all the lost productive time spent on that game. Sometimes, if I worry about something and can’t sleep very well, I get up at 2 AM and play a few rounds, and there are always thousands and thousands of players in the queue ready to play any game I pick within the Call of Duty environment.   But it gets even more complicated than that. Call of Duty is just one game out there; many other games are just as popular, such as the Madden games, Fortnite, and many others, all that have their game bases filled with people willing to spend their time and money on those products. But, time in a day is not infinite, so there is a management problem that we have to deal with as a modern consideration. And the corporate influence is committing the same problem they always do. They assume that the consuming public will put 100% of their time into their product in the same way that an only child expects their parents always to be available to them. 

But, while we are trying to find all our passwords to all our media accounts, and playing all these games, and are under pressure constantly to update our media accounts and to read all the legal agreements with each one, people have no room to figure out the origin of Covid, or the FBI tampering in Michigan with the Whitmer case, or the paradox of Ray Epps and the FBI attempting a false flag on January 6th, as they usually do when the government needs to make a political case beneficial to them, there is no time for people to give to these subjects because they are too worried about what their password is to their Diseny+ account. Or their bank is changing their account number because they are doing a system update. And at work, people might have an account for Microsoft Teams, their inventory systems, their clocking systems. Everywhere people turn these days, there is some technological incursion for their time that is not being managed, hurting the American family and their productive output. I would say that the solution is not more regulation, but is more like I say in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business. The way to punch back at corporate selfishness is to hit them where they genuinely care to protect, in their self-preservation. Right now, they assume that consumers will always be there for them whenever they decide they want them. But by applying constitutional concepts to even corporate culture, as it should have always have been from the start going all the way back to the Jackson administration, many of these modern problems could have been alleviated. Consumers could still be consumers, but they would be more than that to the world of corporate America. And that’s what’s missing now, is that people are people who should be respected first and foremost, starting with their time and money. Because just as every only child must learn at some point, they are not the only things in the world that matter. And to truly be balanced in the world and good, they must learn to deal with the rest of the world respectfully and with excellent quality.

Now Everyone Wants Net Neutrality: People running to government for protection from actions the government committed.

Everyone suddenly is excited about Ohio’s Attorney General David Yost suing the government over control of the internet as a public utility explicitly targeting Google’s use of search engines to limit conservative speech.  Doesn’t everyone remember Net Neutrality that the government desperately wanted?  What everyone is cheering on with Yost is essentially the passage of Net Neutrality.  Because in free internet, we have seen a government alliance with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and many others where they have gone out and done the crimes of government, Chinese style censorship and all, and now people are saying “uncle,” they can’t take it.  Are these too big to fail? Tech companies have become villains, and now we are crying to the government to help us?  When it was government working both sides against the middle.  Doesn’t everyone smell the rat?

Facebook to PeopleString: The Next Step is Right in Front of You.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about innovation and the “next” generation of things. It was in Hollywood that I first learned about Facebook, which to this day refuse to participate in. When Facebook came out all the rage was Myspace so the evolution of these “social networking” sites was well under way.

My feeling about Facebook is mixed. I personally don’t like how open it is, and I don’t like how it knows and remembers so much about you. It is too good at connecting people, and to me is creepy. I read a book years ago by Jim Mars called Rule By Secrecy, which seemed like extreme fiction at the time, but since that book’s publication only a decade or so ago, much has changed. Governments don’t have to do a lot of “big brother” surveillance of its citizenship, because people are posting their every movement now on Facebook, GPS units and cell phones anyway.

That aside, “social network” sites are good at what they do, and obviously human beings desire such easy interaction. That leads to the obvious question, what’s the next generation of social networking?

When I first heard about Facebook, only a handful of actors were participating, to help launch it and get other people to want to use it. Myspace was still way out in front, and Facebook was not a reasonable challenge………yet.
Now Myspace is old news, and Facebook is all the rage. All that happened in about a 5 year span. You have to move fast in this new “computer economy.”

My son-in-law is actually riding one of the waves of what may become the “next step” in that computer economy. When he first told me about it I was skeptical. But I’ve watched it develop over the last 9 months and I’ve seen him get some fairly decent returns on his entrepreneurial investment. So I have some inside info on what I think is the next step. It’s at least a bridge to the next step, and is worth looking at. It’s called PeopleString. So I’ll let him explain it, because he’s the expert.
This is how to get set up.

This guy isn’t my son-in-law, but he does a nice job of explaining some of the features.


So far, there are a lot of these types of videos emerging, and this is reminding me of how Facebook felt when it was first introduced. So if you’re looking for something new and fresh that can connect to all your current stuff, you might want to look into it.

No catch, there’s a chance to make a little money with their ponzi setup to get the word out, but the real value is in the convenience. The web is definitely headed in the direction PeopleString is exploring. So you might as well get on the train while it’s in the station.

Check out my son-in-law’s Youtube site dedicated to PeopleString for more info.
