Those of us who are older and lived in a world without the internet used to communicate by telephone, fax and sending letters, paid by cash or cheque, even in the shops. We had meetings face to face and socialising was meet ups and nights out. We visited friends and family often. Having lived in that world it's easier to make comparisons to where we are now. Where we could be heading is something a lot of us just can't comprehend. How we let it get this far is frightening beyond belief but it has woken so many up to how this world is run by psychopaths and evil. Being prepared is no longer a choice but a necessity. God help us all 🙏

Yes I’m also from that old analogue world too and whilst I look retrospectively at how we used to go about daily life I also look at how this whole digital prison has crept up on us all whilst we where all in a blissful sleep

Saddest part is we all thought the new technology was given to help make our lives easier whilst unwittingly signing away our freedoms one click at a time

We used to have cb radios back in the 1980’s and that was our social media platform and the best part was we would meet up and make friends and socialise down the pub or have breakers meetings in the town where everyone was welcome to join in.

No government spying on us no loss of freedoms of speech or assembley and best of all we made lifelong friends some of whom I still know to this day

It was cheap to buy the equipment most people never bothered to buy the £10 licence anyways and we had massive amounts of fun

Sadly times have changed and not for the better but I can’t help thinking we’ve all played a small part in compliance even if we didn’t realise it from the start because it was a very quiet and slow creep

We are certainly overdue a horrendous and very convincing false flag to whip the doubters back into line. My guess is very soon and probably nuclear, end of the world bollocks

whatever they do will feel like the end of the world to many, but nuclear weapons are scientifically impossible so they'll just have to keep that one forever in the background and wheel it out occasionally, like different killer diseases that never materialise.

freezing the financial system will get everyone's attention and of course, it will be blamed on anyone but the real cuplrits - those in charge of it. peace.

Very thought provoking post and networks of like minded people with alternative methods of communication, bartering and self reliance sounds like a very good idea.

I agree the evolution of technology does feel like it has crept up on us all but that is it's nature. Like old age! There is no way around it. Yes, we have all played our part and cannot say we didn't see it coming but that is because as the social creatures we are, the easier it is to communicate with each the better. But it seems even that has it's limits! As Tolkien wrote, One ring to rule them all...now we have OneLogin to rule us all!

it is far from a natural evolution though - it is 100% engineered and managed to give the psychopaths the ultimate tools of surveillance and control.

as commenters have noted - we were fine before we knew the internet existed, and then of course there are always MESH networks ;-)

The timing prediction for when they unveil the rescue plan after 2-3 weeks of frozen banking is probably spot on given historial patterns of crisis exploitation. What's clever here is recognizing the banking collapse as an engineered bottleneck forcing adoption rather than voluntary uptake. I once saw research showing people accept dramatically invasive policy when framed as emergency relief versus gradual normalization. The local food networks and skills-based trading you mention dunno if it scales fast enough to resist that 2-3 week desperation window when most will cave.

Did you ever hear or read Between Two Ages by Zbigniew Brzezinsky.

Download the PDF version and read the opening quote. Nothing stops this Accelerationism- the psycho- programming of the human being.

It's a war of intentionality- supported by trillions of capital flow. A merciless, ruthless intentionality to global Centralised Power.

Time is the interval of waiting between acts of love.
