How do you withdraw from the internet? But already the TV is pretty much useless. The TV is a liar and messes with your mind. Fake-news much? Notice that I did not say that I do not have a TV. I just don't watch TV much if any anymore. A TV is a good monitor for watching video games or for playing videos or viewing personal photos. But the TV channels are pretty much garbage. I watch mostly YT and Rumble, where I have more control over what I watch.

I think that in the future there will no longer be libraries to go to anymore. They will be replaced with digital libraries and internet cafe's. You will have to pay for most information. And THAT information will be selective and dependent upon what your government chooses to allow you to think. We are witnessing history being rewritten. Perfect example is BLM defacing historical statues and crying like babies about a past that we in the present had nothing to do with but should keep as reminders so as to learn from mistakes or advancements as a nation that operates within a free society. This is the transitional phase of the new order of things on earth. Sigh.

The core message here is: fear your government, but in free societies governments should fear the people. If your government abuse their power by putting innocent people on secret discriminatory lists, they violate human rights law. As free people whom our governments serve, we have every right to demand our governments remove us from such lists since we are not criminals by association.

I met a guy at the border between two countries. The bus was guided aside. He just sighed and said that this was commonplace for him. He'd been in these checks for six months. Meanwhile this was - hands down - the first time I was ever in such a big check, where the entire bus was put inside a warehouse. He was a nice enough fella, but I noticed that he had this look, and he also had tattoos even on his face. He told me, last time he needed to pee, he was forced to strip naked for them. I knew then that it's probably the circle of people he's seeing and that he's in fact being singled out. It could be algorithmic too. They want to catch as many as they can in one go. Just knowing that they use algorithms, is enough to exploit it IMHO. If there's too many of a certain type on the venue, then you know you're being set up, so just leave.

No need to identify who they are. You know who they are. Rest assured that if you don’t, they do know who you are!

I found a good way around this. I do not use a cell phone nor do I have a phone number. When I do eventually get a phone it will be a landline phone and not a cell phone. If I choose to get a cell phone it will be a burner phone to make calls and use the GPS mapping features only. I will only give out the cell phone to specific people and the landline phone for everything else. I still have my original and very first email account outside of AOL accounts and that is the one I use for all of the intrusive websites that love to spam your email. I also have 4 other email accounts that are not really used at all but I do tend to interact with a few just to keep things a bit on the up and up for the email account to remain active and not be deleted by the provider. I really do not like emails and I tend to ignore them more often than not unless I know I will be receiving an email from someone that I made contact with and requested email contact.

It's called misdirection, spend a decade in a certain pattern, let them see everything, then up and split out into a completely different routine. Also, live in several states, get multiple state ID's, register your vehicle in one of these, get your medical card in one of these, get a CHL with reciprocity from one of these, set up your brick and mortar banking in one of these. Always keep them guessing where you are, who you know, and where you go. Swap cars with buddies you trust, have other people who can set stuff up for you, use cash, no utilities, take over leases, and stay aware of your keylogging. Set up multiple things and they will be pulling straws, which will alert you. Stay Frosty.

Here's the problem with being a "professional" incognito artist. Simply by not being on the list, will make you look suspicious. What, you think the three letter agencies don't have algorithms for that? That's when they'll put in extra effort to find out about you. Because on some level they already know about you, and the fact that you appear so discrete and inconspicuous is in fact why they become more curious about you.

Hey Rob :) I'm surprised I've never heard you talk about how some of the big email providers (Hotmail for example) regularly try to get people to associate separate email addresses together with each other, thus aiding the building of that telephone number, email address and contacts list web that you speak of, do you have an opinion on that?

Surely your dickhead friend's phone number is what can still be used to identify them and then use their Contact List's phone number/name to identify your real name ? It is all too late and we are screwed.

I can think of several instances where you _want_ to be identified. Say, if you're offering certain services, or if you're looking for certain types of jobs. Or even people. Letting certain kinds of people "discover" you can be very beneficial.

👏applause

Great vid as always. Also use unique passwords on each site because those can also be searched to identify.

When I had downloaded signal, I got an message from someone before I finished the setup. Then the app asked me if I wanted to import my contact list. So signal had uploaded my contact before I told it that it was allowed. So I deleted the app and reset the phone to factory settings.

I often wondered how Facebook send friend suggestions are people I have known in the past but some of them are years ago.

I can't get into details, but I can personally confirm that government agencies are already using this information. In an incident last year, all the agency had was the person's mobile number and a potential first name. Within 30 minutes they had practically everything about her. Where she worked, where she shopped, where her car was seen recently (automated license plate readers), location, who her current boyfriend was (!), etc. She had an iPhone, fwiw. I've been around this stuff for a long time, and I know this information can be retrieved... but I had NO idea it could be done so quickly. For something like this, I thought it'd take weeks....nope!

A lot of that is stuff any internet sleuth can find out fairly easily so of course the government won’t have any problem finding it. I recently read a news report where the purchaser of a ‘firetool’ was tracked by its serial number from a secret video taken by an undercover investigator from a relevant agency. Gee, I wonder how they were able to do that considering they’re not supposed to retain records of those purchases. Hmm.

It does require some planning. It is worth it for peace of mind if just to stop 'trolls' from bothering you.

I totally understand how you categorize you as a person with different divisions for private you versus financial you and internet you. But, you are also a professional so there is also a crossover to professional you on the computer versus personal you on the computer. I would consider this as a secondary set of categories. For me, I'm finding some of it overwhelming and just trying to get it all straight in my head. For example, professional me also has business social media, banking for each company, websites, affiliates, emails, and so on. The number of accounts is compounded and I'm looking for ideas to streamline it. Maybe my situation is unique.
