Is Privacy in America Possible?

Is 'privacy above all' even possible? And who needs it anyway?

Since Americans believe that they live in a free country, their lives are an open book. Everybody and anybody who wants to know can find out all about us. We don't seem to mind until it is too late.

But it is past time that we stop being so "free" to answer all inquiries that come at us. This resolve is especially applicable in matters of disclosure about our personal finances and assets. One piece of information at a time, over a long period, can mean your privacy and even identity are gone.

What you do or own is your business except when you tell it, then the world knows. The world is not nice and hides this fact as you should be hiding your details from it. Thieves don't always break in at night or rob you at gunpoint. The government is the worst of these thieves because it is deceptive and ever greedy.

Be sure that you understand that the government thinks that you and your property are its business and definitely a source of "income" (as if the government should be earning income). Often those in power think they are entitled to what you have. Bureaucrats don't like the word privacy. Can you guess why? Information on citizens is absolutely essential to governments. The business of government is information on its citizens. Read this over and over. You must understand the implications.

Low-profile living should be your rule. You already know not to drive a Mercedes on a Chevrolet income, and I don't mean the implications of being in great debt. The IRS sometimes computes a "net worth" assessment of taxes if they think your standard of living (i.e., what you display) is greater than your income.

Don't disclose any more than you need to, ever. All government agencies are tied directly to the IRS. Because taxes are not for "government revenue" or so that you and everyone "pay their fair share" or any other nonsense designed to obscure the truth. The truth is that the IRS is another enforcement arm of the government designed to reduce the number of dollars in circulation so that government can continue its deficit spending.

If you think that you are ready for the world of reality, order The Great Money Myth package by clicking here right now. It explains the conspiracy behind ALL government money printing, finance, taxation... and what the dollars in your pocket are really worth.

You must also know that although cash is private, the government is trying to do away with cash so that you and your income and spending can be tracked precisely. The "digital dollar" is the current name for it, but whatever they call a new digital currency, it will not have been created for your convenience I can assure you.

Credit cards are convenient, and you are offered endless "rewards" to use them. Banks especially love to speak of debt equaling money, and they encourage you to "spend" on your cards (even though you're borrowing). Then, information about your credit is scattered around the world with total disregard for your privacy. Many people receive several solicitations a week to apply for a new credit card. How do you think the credit card company discovered you might be a good prospect for a new credit card?

Checks are not much better, although there is a loophole I will tell you about in a minute. Always watch carefully what you put in writing. You can be hung by the tongue or the pen. On the other hand, insist that everybody else put their "thing" in writing.

When you want to do a transaction and keep it private and out of bank records, consider doing it in cash despite how inconvenient the government wants to make it. Also consider bartering or trade of goods and services, with no record except your handshake. The reason? Governments don't like cash. They are suspicious of cash transactions. Their excuse is the drug trade. What they really want is to control you. So as long as what you are doing is not illegal, you can still do small, private cash transactions and not violate any Treasury reporting rules.

Pay with a check that you received as a paycheck or any other kind of check. In other words, when you get a check from somebody, simply pay it to someone else. Turn it into a third-party, negotiable instrument. A check becomes negotiable just like cash when you endorse it. Just write under your endorsement your instructions, such as "pay to XYZ." This instrument is a private transaction, as it doesn't go through your bank. It becomes "lost" in the system. This process is legal.

If the amount of the check doesn't match the amount that you want to pay, simply ask them to give you cash or their own check for the difference. This negotiation is called "recycling checks," and it is a form of "private" money. This is also a legal procedure.

You do not have to have canceled checks for the IRS, or anyone else, although this is what they want. A receipt will do. If they ask, for example, how you paid for a $2,000 overhaul on your automobile, tell them you paid with your endorsed, third-party paycheck, social security check or a loan.

Think privacy! Live privacy!

There are many things you can still do that are legal to avoid compromising your privacy. If you are not involved in a "tax-deductible" transaction, then what you do is "off the record."

Although the lack of privacy in America is a very scary situation, to say the least, you can do something more about it. There is no such thing as freedom without privacy. There is no such thing as privacy unless you use your freedom to make it happen. Privacy and freedom are inseparable concepts. We live in an information society. It follows that we have no freedom left if we do not restrict, impede and stop creating that information by freely giving out information.

"Our" congress has legislated our privacy away. They have thus legislated our freedom away. If you are to have any privacy, it will be up to you and you alone. Admittedly, being private is not convenient or easy.

• Try your best to keep your records private. If you must show a document to your lawyer or accountant, you go personally with the papers and return with the papers.

• Stay away from lawyers, accountants, and courts as much as possible. If you can settle out of court, try to do so every time, whether as a plaintiff or defendant. Use private or even public arbitration services and arbitration judges instead.

• Get prepared forms and do your own legal work. Most lawyers have their secretaries fill out these forms anyway and charge for "professional" legal work.

As long as most people don't feel any direct threat, they relax and let the system run their lives. But if something happens, such as a lawsuit or a serious IRS field audit or even a criminal investigation, your life can become a nightmare overnight. In this way, the government destroys people and families one by one, like sitting ducks. It can strip you of everything you have ever worked for and own. It is true that everything that you say or otherwise reveal about yourself can and will be used against you. Learn low-profile living!

Yours for the truth,

NOTED:



We face a choice between slavery and freedom

The fight for the future of humanity is under way now in the financial sector, where centralized, authoritarian banking systems (central banks, fiat currency, money printing, etc.) are attempting total domination while Decentralized Finance (DeFi, peer-to-peer money) is offering humanity a future of freedom and self-determination.

In today's podcast, I cover the details of how this battle is shaping up and why the fiat currency banking system is so desperate to assert total control over society.

15 Most Popular Survival Foods

Stockpiling enough food to keep you and your family alive for a long time can be very challenging. Think about it: However much you spend on your weekly shopping trip is how much a week's worth of emergency food could cost. And that's just one week.

There's a reason certain foods have remained so popular among preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long shelf-life, they're filling, and they're good for you. These foods will always make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. (Sorry, salad lovers.)

In this article, we're going to take a look at the fifteen most popular survival foods and talk about why they're so popular. If you're preparing for a disaster, consider getting every one of these...

Cheap Stain Removal for All Around the House

Cheap Stain Removal for All Around the House

A professional carpet cleaner gave me this advice. The absolute best stain remover for carpets is Dawn liquid soap diluted in the hottest water you can handle. I've also found that Dawn is excellent for getting out stains on clothing, including hard-to-remove grease stains.

Don't waste your money on separate stain removers for each item in your house!

100 Survival Items You Forgot To Buy

If you're reading this, you probably already know the basics: water, food storage, first aid, etc. But even hardcore survivalists can overlook items that could be important. In this post, I'm going to list 100 survival items you might have forgotten to buy.

Originally, this was a list of 50 survival items, but since then, I've gotten all sorts of comments and messages from people telling me about other things preppers often forget. Once I had 50 more, I added them to the list. Now there's a total of 100.

To be clear, this isn't meant to be a comprehensive list of every survival item you'll need. It's just a list of the ones that are often overlooked. Hopefully, it will help you fill in any gaps in your survival plan. For everything on this list that you already have, give yourself a pat on the back...

25 Survival Items You Can Make At Home

I've met quite a few preppers who regularly purchase all sorts of survival items, but who never actually make their own survival items (you know who you are). There are many reasons why this is a huge mistake, but let's focus on two in particular:

First of all, you're wasting money if you're buying things that are cheaper to make at home. And second, during a long-term disaster where grocery store shelves are all empty, you might be forced to make your own stuff. So why not go ahead and learn how?

Below you'll find a list of 25 survival items that are fairly easy to make. For each one, I included a link to a tutorial that will walk you through it. So next time you're bored, try making one of these and don't forget to leave a comment letting me know how it went...

The global food supply has been largely taken over by the oligarchs, including financial giants BlackRock and Vanguard.

It turns out that BlackRock and Vanguard have been gradually gobbling up ownership of the means of production, and now intend to lord it over the masses by centralizing all food production technologies in the United States and enslaving everyone under their control.

The world’s top 10 food companies are also largely owned by both BlackRock and Vanguard. These include Nestlé, PepsiCo, General Mills, Kellogg’s, Associated British Foods, Mondel'z, Mars, Danone, Unilever, and Coca-Cola.

USEFUL AND NOTED

 

Hundreds of urban areas in the U.S. are becoming rural, but it's not because people are leaving.

It's just that the U.S. Census Bureau is changing the definition of an urban area. Under the new criteria, more than 1,300 small cities, towns and villages designated urban a decade ago would be considered rural. That matters because urban and rural areas qualify for different types of federal funding. Some communities worry the change could affect health clinics in rural areas as well as transportation and education funding from federal programs. Read More Here
