I can tell you your digital device is listening. We’re standing in our kitchen chatting about appliances for our barn apartment and my husband smart phone is laying on the counter. Minutes, just a couple, and he’s getting ads for appliances on his phone. Others have told me they’ve experienced this on devices like Alexa. I don’t suffer this on my phone, yet. I don’t engage in internet activity on my smart phone. I have had my iPad do this though on occasion if it was near enough to hear discussion. Right now it’s mostly being used to try and sell you stuff. But it could be used and probably is being used by gov to track your every move in life. I actually imagine it’s tracking some already if DHS deems its necessary. There will be a day we need to drop our devices in the toilet and run.
We need people with the courage to say "no". With the awareness to understand what is happening.
MeWe's social web doesn't concern me unless *other* social media sites join and use the same ID. CBDC is another reason why we need a parallel economy. Any time you put all your eggs in one basket you are at risk.
Just call it a kill switch...for your life. Much like the kill switch that is being mandated for ALL vehicles made after 2026.
These technologies are indeed a wet dream for tyrants past, present, and future. Why, because the claims that they will only be used for good is the lie that sells, just before you end up in Covidstan!
And as Dave Ramsey is prone to say, "cash is king!"
First is that I use CASH ONLY for certain purchases. I will NEVER use a card to buy ammo or firearms, PERIOD. That was something I was taught by my grandfather. He said that you have a responsibility to maintain certain records for what you buy and sell, but you DO NOT have to tell the government EVERYTHING about what you have at any given moment. And credit/debit cards give the government access to purchase records, without your knowledge.
The second point is that IF/WHEN the server network for your bank crashes, and there is a very strong chance of that happening with as much traffic as will be on the system, you're SCREWED. Even getting cash from an ATM (if cash is still available at that point) will probably be impossible because they work off of the same system as the cards.
There was talk about 15-20 years ago about going to an electronic system that didn't use cards. it used your FINGERPRINT to access everything associated with you. stew on THAT for a few minutes.
also, there are some places that are trying to go to a cashless system in their business. I've seen the sign once I got in the stores and PROMPTLY told them I would NEVER do business with them because of that sign and walked out immediately.
To TRULY be out from under the threat of government control we would have to do away with ALL forms of electronic payment and even checks and cash. We would need to return to a system based on precious metals and barter and trade for goods or services.
Okay, maybe a LITTLE more than a couple of things.

Exactly the point I'm making Rebecca. Thank you for the anecdotal evidence.
... every Substack article you write.
Total control, the nightmare.
