Friends,So I have been doing some reading and thinking about the "culture war" which seems to be escalating in the United States (at least if you listen to the media you will believe so) and I have a few thoughts in relation to the tearing down and vandalizing of statues across the U.S.First, I am 1...

How To Opt-Out of the Technocratic State | The Conscious Resistance Network

theconsciousresistance.com

Friends, Here is an important portion from Chapter 5 Counter-Economics in the Digital Age, from my book, How To Opt-Out of the Technocratic State (available for free download or purchase in the link): "It is important to understand that deciding to stay put while attempting to optout of the Technocracy will involve breaking the law at some point. As the State continues the push for mandatory biometrics (retina, fingerprint, and face scanning) and social credit systems are adopted widely, it will become increasingly difficult to operate your life without directly violating the Technocratic State's orders. The trick is to determine the potential risk vs the potential benefit. As Konkin once wrote, "trade risk for profit." With the understanding that every decision we make is economic (whether it relates to money or not), Konkin recognized that choosing to violate the commands of the State was a risk that could result in a profit in the form of an increase in liberty in one form or another. So when you choose not to report all of your income on your taxes in order to save money for your family you are trading a risk for a benefit. In a similar way if or when the State issues mandatory vaccination orders, mandatory retina scanning, mandatory micro chipping, or any other mandatory program you will have a choice. You can submit to these programs out of fear of punishment or damage to reputation, or you can consciously choose to opt-out of these systems. There will be risks and there will be benefits. It is up to you to decide what is best for you and your family. In his unfinished book Counter-Economics Samuel Konkin described what he calls Low-Profile and High-Profile Counter-Economics, two different tactics available to those who seek to opt-out of invasive systems. While Low-Profile Counter-Economics involves discreetly opting-out of the Technocracy, HighProfile is more in your face. "High-Profile Counter-Economics deals with a particular area of State coercion by calling attention to his or her victimization. The more noise, the better. The famed Chicago 8 used publicity to keep themselves out of prison for years—even after their convictions. Civil disobedients trust public pressure to keep them out of jail or to minimize their penalties. Indeed, the State’s enforcers are wary of creating martyrs. The very concept of martyr exhibits the power of Information; what is a martyr but a corpse with a good story? High-Profile Counter-Economists have higher risks because they are so easy to detect. They gain the advantage of additional information flow—from themselves to the rest of the market. To the extent they succeed, they become inspirational." Konkin said those who pursued both Low- and High-Profile simultaneously could do so through a third category: The Counter-Economic Community. Konkin notes the benefits of having allies who are also participating in the counter-economy and opting-out of the Technocracy. This is why it is going to be important to form some level of a community as a mutual support network that allows for a life "off the grid." Konkin wrote: "One may pursue any degree of notoriety (or, to put it another way, freely advertise one’s services) within the community of fellow counter-economists while not informing the State, its agents, and, of course, its informers. To do that, one needs to control the flow of information about oneself." One of the great insights outlined by Konkin in Counter-Economics is the importance of controlling the flow of information about yourself, "in particular, the information flow from you to the State." Konkin says the two obvious ways to escape the State's notice is to not exist and "if you do exist, don't tell anyone about it." The goal then is to reduce interaction with the State and/or private companies who want to scan your face, record your life, and force you to submit." https://www.theconsciousresistance.com/howto

Friends, In case you didn't see the article I shared earlier today, here are some more concerns regarding "Contact Tracing" aka surveillance AND the "new normal" for flying in the COVID1984 age: "Bahrain’s app was linked to a game show designed to shame residents into social distancing A new study analyzing COVID-19 contact tracing apps conducted by Amnesty International has found that Bahrain and Kuwait are using their public health apps as mass surveillance tools. The study analyzed a collection of contact tracing apps, which are designed to inform and monitor physical contact between people in the event someone contracts COVID-19, from 11 countries: Algeria, Bahrain, France, Iceland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Norway, Qatar, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates. It found three particularly egregious apps that collected satellite location data from users, instead of relying simply on Bluetooth signals, and matched accounts with real identities." (link in the comments) Here is another: "Flying seems like just about the most dangerous thing you could possibly do right now. You’re spending hours confined in a metal tube, with hundreds of strangers from all over the world, without any way of knowing where they’ve been or whom they’ve been with. Under those circumstances, you’d expect a few additional safety requirements. No one wants to get sick—so what’s the loss of a little more privacy, if it keeps you out of harm’s way? That, at least, is the rationale behind a fleet of new measures either under consideration or already in place at airports around the world. In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration is reportedly preparing to begin checking passengers’ temperatures before they board. New arrivals to the U.K. must, as of June 8, provide an address where they will self-isolate for 14 days. (Police will follow up with “surprise” in-person checks.) More than 45 countries have rolled out “digital ankle bracelet” tracking apps, which are likely to be either mandatory or strongly encouraged for air travelers. Meanwhile, biometric scanning, to check people against their ID, is being aggressively tested by airports from Munich to Sydney." (link in the comments)
