Pioneer's of the Digital Age

Legacy article from November 5th, 2024

We are the pioneers of the digital age.

We are the cowboys of the wild west, of the internet.

Technology has become so advanced that it has become interwoven into all parts of our lives.

Your friendships, your dating life, your financials, your job, your entertainment…

Everything is online, and yet we have not learned the basics of what it means to be pioneers of such a dramatic shift.

We have traveled to the new world, but we have not set up laws for it yet. Laws that protect us from government tyranny.

When our Founding Fathers created the Constitution, they outlined the inalienable human rights that CANNOT be infringed by others.

The Constitution is a love letter to freedom, and a shackle to tyranny.

But now we are witnessing things like Freedom of Speech, and the Right to Privacy fall due to the new Surveillance State that we live in.

And it’s entirely because the governments of the world have teamed up to collude with big tech companies to “work around” the Constitution.

Just think about it: Google’s service is free, and they pay billions of dollars to companies like Apple to set Google as their base search engine.

So, where is that money coming from? It’s not just from advertisers who want to sell you dog toys.

Google was even funded by the CIA and NSA at its conception.

And that’s just the tip of the “big tech = big brother” iceberg.

When I first learned about online privacy, I never imagined it was this pivotal to freedom itself. In fact, modern privacy is the backbone to protecting our freedom forever.

It is not something that should be practiced in times of tyranny… It is something that NEEDS to be practiced in good or bad times forever.

That’s why modern privacy is similar to the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

The right to bear arms.

Which grants you the ability to defend yourself from threats like thieves, and murderers, and just as important…. to protect you from an out-of-control government.

Nowadays, privacy is a form of modern self-defense.

You need to practice your privacy skills to protect your financials from hackers, scammers, and thieves. But more than that, you need to ensure your privacy to protect yourself from an authoritarian surveillance state like what we are seeing on the rise right now, globally. One set on censorship, and punishments like: CBDCs and Digital IDs.

In America, we do not give up our guns in good times or bad. That’s because we know they are essential to our freedom itself.

Now, in our new digital world, we CANNOT give up our privacy in good times or bad either.

We need to ensure our ability to transact, speak, and interact privately.

And together we will.

Thank you for believing in freedom and individual responsibility.

We The People will defend our Freedoms indefinitely.

For Liberty!
