Proton mail has been hacked especially if you have other accounts without good intrinsic security. With a hardware key, even if they have a keypad program installed and are stealing your login info, they can’t get past the key. Less convenience, better security.
In answer to your question regarding whether or not Americans will comply or put their foot down about all this stupidity, compliance would appear to be the answer for the current and newest generations. This poll documented by Alex Berenson just yesterday is hardly encouraging. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-scariest-poll-youll-see-this
In essence, the self-destructive future of this country is inevitable because so many people are now simply sheep.
not that i'm interested in seeing another Republican (or Democrat) President, but I find the poll saddening, and it would be interesting to see the same poll given 2 yrs into a Republican administration to see if those numbers change or flip. These 2 cults are destroying us people.
It is a propaganda nudge. People don’t have the attention span or curiosity these days to have even read the 2nd part of the question. They stopped at the first part because all they saw/heard was “restrict false information”. We’ve been conditioned over the last 3 years to respond to that phrase. I’m surprised the word”misinformation” wasn’t used.
Sometimes I like to imagine the collective reaction in a place like Baltimore if they try to tell the people there that they are banned from doing something.......
I don't think it will fly here -- especially when the people directly being squeezed are supposedly the ones the politicians care about.
Indeed, we have a uniparty in DC. Maybe we have a unigovernment throughout the world, and China is the testing ground for many of the ideas coming to the formerly free West.
His bona fides: he nailed the Prigozhin situation months in advance.
Covid was a show. The death and destruction are real, but maybe this war in Ukraine is a show, too. They did hire an actor to fill the role of "leader of plucky nation fighting for democracy." All countries are moving to complete control (and probably worse) of its citizenry. Are we living out "1984". with the West as Oceania, Russia as Eurasia, and China as Eastasia? Forever war to distract from the boot pushing all of our faces into the concrete.
How about the “nudges” to quit using gas ovens/ranges, generators, water heaters, wood burning stoves?
People like to make fun of country people, all of these items they’re trying to ban affect country people. Try that in a small town. Compliance and subservience won’t happen in a small town. I know, I live in/moved to one.
Nudging example: Local energy company "selected" us and send monthly reports (unsolicited), comparing our energy use to "average" and "efficient" homes of supposedly comparable size. I can't opt out by email, web page, or US snail mail: I have to call them! I'm pretty sure that would be the only department where an actual human being would answer the phone because everything else is automated. I find this off-the-scale irritating.
We always receive updates on how our electrical consumption matches up with my neighbors. I’m always at the bottom of my tier and when I received their comparison it reminds me to turn every light on in the the house. Thanks Con Edison.
It's important to understand the 'story' of money. "Money is probably the most successful story ever told. It has no objective value... but then you have these master storytellers: the big bankers, the finance ministers... and they come, and they tell a very convincing story.” — Yuval Noah Harari. https://khmezek.substack.com/p/the-final-solution-central-bank-digital
i'm 62 years old...i never imagined in all my life that i would see my fellow Americans give up so many of their rights during the scamdemic...so i really don't have much hope..i do feel bad for my grandchildren.
We were notified by the electric company that they are switching to smart meters. We refused to switch to the smart meter so we have to pay an extra $15 per month.
A tiny group of key players representing the super-rich in the United States and China coordinated closely to promote implement the lockdowns in China. If anyone asks who makes these policies in China, who handles the data, or who is in control of the programs that undergird QR codes and contact tracing, the answer is inevitably it is the Chinese government. The reality is that few, or none, of these policies were made up or implemented by the Chinese government itself, but rather that the Chinese government is occupied by IT corporations that report to the billionaires (often through Israel and the United States,) and bypass the Chinese government altogether.
They have their own shadow government (don't like the term but oh well) in cooperation with private consulting firms and intelligence contractors which controls IT processes (for but one example) using private intelligence firms run for the benefit of the billionaires.
That's a really good question. If Covid hysteria is any clue, I'd say most Americans will fail the test. IF and only if, we can educate them quickly what all of this means for them and their children and grandchildren do we stand a chance. The question is how. We have lost all major news outlets, including Fox; nearly all newspapers, and let's not waste our time with the education system. WE have made some progress with social media, and God bless Substack. So what is left? All I can think of are billboards. If we were somehow to purchase or build them in areas with lots of traffic (think heavily congested areas, with a captive audience), and posting relevant information in small, digestible bits we MAY get some small percentage of sheeple thinking.
Two thousand four hundred ani-gun laws on the books so far and the Supreme Court has only stepped up once, twice, to swipe down a bad law (they're all bad and unconstitutional).
Exactly. The SC is a disgrace as a defense of our Second Amendment Rights. Citizens unfortunate enough to live in blue states have seen their rights "infringed" over and over again. They need to step up and overturn the ban on semi-automatic rifles.

Nudge - Google prompt asking you to "sign in" to another website using your Google account.
Google does this to collect more information on you - to increase their surveillance of your activities.
Just say no to the surveillance state.
I never do this.
Why not get out of google entirely? Tutanota or protonmail.
Tutanota has hardware security (Yubikey) = better security.
Thanks for the info. That's the pick I made simply because a friend, who is a computer guru, had made that choice.
Proton mail has been hacked especially if you have other accounts without good intrinsic security. With a hardware key, even if they have a keypad program installed and are stealing your login info, they can’t get past the key. Less convenience, better security.
Yep, including No to GMail -- so many people are still using GMail.
This is a great article and it is very informative. Our country has so much clean energy and we have abandoned our right to use it!
Thank you!

I absolutely agree, it's pathetic.

Funny how words work these days.
I would never trust any poll from a leftist gang of thugs like pew.
Great observation, Matt. Well put.

Yes, 1984 is in full effect

I don't think so, i sense a growing undercurrent of real anger at this subtle, not so subtle push

Most likely-to-be-true statement I've read today
I do not plan to accept any nudging from anyone. They can all go to Hades. First a nugde, then a push, and then a shove into your cage from hell.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into that.
