    If you are unfamiliar with the phrase, you might want to do some research....
    Great article here...

    1. Cancel cable, Direct TV and Dish. Today. Keep the internet. Save $800+/- per year. Hit them in the pocketbook. Do not support them with your money. Dump You Tube and use Rumble, Daily Motion or Vimeo.
    2. Cancel and delete your accounts for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Amazon Prime. Go anonymous. Since Playstore and Amazon banned Parler, we can use Gab or Clouthub. Communication is key. Stay connected but not through the Big Tech censors.
    3. Delete/disable Chrome and Google. Use Tor or Brave as browsers and Duck Duck Go or Presearch instead of GOOG. Google makes their money on ads, SRO payments and selling your data. Shut it down.
    4. Cancel all your paid magazine and newspaper subscriptions (paper and digital) except those that support America and are Conservative. When you cancel, tell them why.
    5. Delete Waze (owned by Google) and Google Maps. Replace with Sygic or other GPS apps.
    6. Delete What’s App (Facebook ) and replace with Telegram. It’s a much better app.
    7. Unsubscribe from all the junk email you get, it saves time and focus.
    8. Cancel and cut up all your extra credit cards. Keep a maximum of 3 if practical. It hurts the banks when this happens, even if the card is free and infrequently used. If you pay a fee to the bank for the card, it hurts them even more.
    9. Create an anonymous email account on http://www.Protonmail.com. Migrate from Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. and then delete or deactivate the other account if possible.
    10. Pay cash when you shop when possible so your purchases are anonymous.
    11. Buy locally from Mom and Pop stores and absolutely pay in cash; they’ve been devastated.
    12. Google yourself and scrub your data. Search yourself on Duck Duck Go and Start Page, too. Start with MyLife, White Pages, and Spokeo. They aggregate and sell YOUR PERSONAL DATA. SHUT IT DOWN! It takes effort but you can do it (usually there is a privacy link on the bottom of the webpage). They make it difficult but persevere. This also helps prevent identity theft.
    13. Keep your 24/7/365 spy device (i.e Smartphone) in a Faraday bag when not in use.
    14. Don’t buy anything made in China. China is not our friend.
    15. Change party affiliation to Independent or No Party Affiliation (everyone should do this). If you want to vote in party primary, change your affiliation before the primary so you can vote.
    16. Get involved in LOCAL politics where you can still make an impact. Write, email and call about LOCAL issues.
    17. Seek out like-minded people as a support group (NOT as an echo chamber)
    18. Join a gun club and learn to shoot for self-defense. Get your CCP.
    19. Go to Church. Interact with other believers. Restore your Faith.
    20. Stay focused and positive. Do not be demoralized. Trust in God.
    21. Support the My Pillow Guy “Use code MIKE for big savings”
    22. Get your kids out of public schools. Homeschool with YOUR value system.
    23. Stop donating to colleges and universities, especially “Woke” schools with Social Justice and Womyn’s Studies Majors.
    24. Send regular mail to your “representatives” in DC. Email and phone mail gets ignored. Nothing terrifies the political class more than 25,000 letters arriving weekly in their DC office telling them they’re getting fired.

    A lot of excellent ideas. In the last few years I have addressed many of those topics. That being said, there is an apprehension in my gut where a warm, fuzzy feeling should be residing. The reason for that is, not long ago I read Edward Snowden’s biography. Not unlike most on INGO, I have a cynical view of the people(not the structure) of our government. Reading that book filled in some gaps and answered some questions that nagged at me. I’ve commented to my wife many times that I miss the analog days.

    Idk, they seemed pretty spooked by a bunch of average Americans walking around their workplace. So terrified they demanded machine gun nests and set up barricades with razor wire and haven't taken them down for months.

    Looks like one strategy was far more effective than the other, to me.

    Got big changes coming up in my life soon. Believe me, I'm thinking about this kind of reboot once I get the hell out of here.

    May be helpful to correctly spell the guys name if you want people to research him. Otherwise you're just telling people to research a british term for heavy clay.

    I don't know how I missed that aside from not being able to find my glasses. Good catch!
    The characters name is John Galt. Its spelled Gault in the title. If you didnt know beforehand who it was and researched gault you'd have a hell of a time trying to figure out how british clay helps you.

    As an FYI, Telegram is operated by an openly hardcore progressive socialist who has no love for conservatives, law enforcement or the military. I hear the program is good at what it does, but I’m under no pulled-wool that the app isn’t being monitored by TPTB since it is heavily used by BLM and Antifa.

    Galt not Gault as in the header...

    Some of us are more perfect than others...
    Crap. Makes me mad that I've been practicing my moves for the Super Bowl Shuffle for nothing.

    At this point what isn't monitored?

    While that may be the case, he has stood up against censorship at every single turn and I have not seen him go after groups that ideologically oppose him.

    Pretty sure he is wise to the fact that if censorship is allowed to take over the platform, his speech will be going down the drain too. Not all leftists are ignorant of these things, it's mostly just bandwagoning democrats who are the nasty ones.

    Anyone left of center claiming to be a moderate is usually lying and pretty foul. Once they go a bit further left and become honest with themselves, you can start to have a discussion with them. But when it comes to democrats, you no longer can. They've decided they hold moral authority over you and that you're not a member of their faith therefor are evil.

    I've always looked at things like this in terms of a flexible response. Escalating problems get different responses but doing some experiments and having a plan helps. I know how to live off of the land here and have tested various methods of growing crops even in winter, but truth be told, the gardener doesn't like collards with fried squirrel so we continue to buy things at the store. Knowing how to live like it's 1873 is a good thing, but you don't have to every day.:)
