Staying Off Grid When “Nearly Everything Is Chipped, Almost Everything Is Tracked”
January 08th, 2017

If you weren’t paranoid before, it may be time to start paying attention.

“They” are spying on everything you do, and are collecting information about every purchase, appliance, vehicle or place you make, do or interact with. For the first time in history, we have arrived at a time when nearly everything is chipped, and almost everything is tracked.

It really is true, and it’s no longer a conspiracy theory.

They are spying on everyone, collecting all the available data and tracking you, your family and everyone you know. All the time.

Cash works best, don't use credit
Proxy Servers work
Limit online anything
Remove yourself from lists, coupon clubs, etc
Use unlocked cellular phones absent BS software and super cookies
Avoid unsolicited enticements, by mail or otherwise
When asked for personal identifiable info, use a pseudonym, ie, Jan 1 birthday (lol), John Q.
Get Google Voice, it's the only way to have a phone # unattached to anything.
Generate your own electricity
Pump Your Own water
Grow your own food
Lol... It won't remove you from the grid entirely, but it might make the smallest footprint you can.

Now, how to not pay taxes (legally), Hahaha, trying to figure that one out ; )

But really, data mining has been a quiet giant for over a decade already. Behind the scenes accumulation and assimilation of personal identifiable information, what you do, eat, sleep, who you see, associate, work with or otherwise, clothes, food, entertainment, etc., etc., etc. But don't worry, if you aren't doing anything wrong! Funny thing is there isn't much regulation in this industry at all. The data collectors use all different algorithms to package data nicely for a given need, no two do the same. They aren't required to tell anyone what they do, or why. They do it freely and make lots of $ doing it. Some may be innocuous, like yelling what favorite ice cream a +50yr old female likes to purchase, etc. But tapping into it is, you guessed it, every acronym spy agency you can think of, using the data for? Lol...

Bet you never gave it two thoughts why almost all new phones don't have removable batteries huh? Lol... Get an extra free EZ-pass baggie for those sensitive moments when you don't need your cell phone tracked ; ) and don't forget the Tin-Foil hat, they do work (so they don't know what you're thinking).

Lol...

Reward cards in grocery, department and sporting goods stores track what you purchace if you don't want to be tracked don't sign up for them. Your social media footprint is easily tracked, as is your online purchace and browsing. Proxy servers make it harder but, there are things that "you"do to make it easier to track you even through proxy servers.

Your electricity consumption is tracked, your heating fuel consumption is tracked, if you purchace permits to gather firewood you are tracked. You are on camera almost everywhere you buy fuel. License plate readers are in small towns now.

Unless you stay away from civilization/ the Internet and only use the barter system in the woods, you are being tracked by someone or something.

Trying to move forward : ) and besides, they 'already have that info'... The idea is to limit them obtaining any more! Like where those firearms that were on my permit actually are ; )

I had this conversation with an acquaintance who probably thinks I'm crazy...

Basically we were discussing if the government knows who does and doesn't own guns and if the government could confiscate them how it would happen.

He insisted the government has no idea over who does or doesn't have guns. My contention was they probably know 95% of the gun owners. And I want on to explain many of the ways your data is tracked, gathered and databased. The government (intel agencies) stores an obscene amount of data on its citizens. They know way more than people realize. And they use our laziness against us.

Perfect example. When you install apps on your smart phone have you ever read any of the permissions you have to grant? Why the hell do you have to grant permission to access your phone's microphone and track your location? The 3rd party app developer and the government have the ability to evesdrop on everything you say and geolocate you at will. They have your voice signature on file. They know other phones that are regularly in close proximity to you. They know who your acquaintances are etc...

The CIA NSA types found a bunch of terrorists and drone'd them because they liked to play candy crush. No I'm not kidding. Look it up.

If you are not taking extreme measures the gonvernment knows way more than you want to think. They are very few people who are able to become ghosts and drop off the grid.

If you don't wear sunglasses and hats out in public all the time they already have your facial recognition features saved.

The alphabet soup agency types have been very clever for a long time and most people have never given it much thought.


But to circle back to the original point if the government tomorrow outlaw private firearm ownership (which I don't think they would, they might make incremental steps but that's another topic) that they know who owns guns and if they don't have you on file in a database as turning them in, well you go on the list. You have 2 choices, compliance or non compliance. Hiding would not be a realistic long term option.
