Your post expresses exactly how I feel. I’m never going to comply, and I keep working every day at trying to wake people up, but I’m really kind of afraid. I’m not sure what to do. Stand and fight. Sometimes I get a lot of positive hope from some freedom fighters (Son of Enos, and others ) They often show how the ‘Cabal’s’ narrative is crumbling . But I’m afraid. It’s like we’re in a movie. Stand and speak Truth to Power. There is no other choice. It just all sucks so much. I really wish people would dump their smartphones en mass. They’re the key.

I so appreciate your thoughtfulness, Mia, and I feel exactly as you do. I will not comply, though I suspect things will get even more ugly.

Yes, absolutely dump smartphones. We use only pre-paid dumb flip phones, have muzzled our Alexa units, and avoid social media. Be careful. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

I never thought I would spend my retirement years having to defend freedom, but here we are. It’s exhausting, time consuming, and often demoralizing. But we had some wins, managing to save lives with our spoken and written words about COVID disease, treatment, shots, and government response. We’re actively working on campaigns of political candidates who care deeply about freedom and the constitution. We’re trying to bolster election integrity. All new for us, but compelling and essential.

We know we are on the right side of history, but that isn’t always enough. Keep your tribe close. And don’t give up. I cannot guarantee a win, only a clear conscience.

Me too. I just retired in 2016, at long last, after many years of university, and then a really demanding job, but now this. Nazi Canada , Ontario. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and cry before strapping on those big girl panties and doing ‘my bit’ for freedom. (Wish Scotty would beam me up already. ) Sadly, most of my family and former ‘friends’ don’t talk to us anymore because they don’t want to hear about this. All vaxed up and triple boosted.

My husband has his old smartphone with no ‘internet plan’; just ‘talk and go’. Just don’t use an internet provider for the phone. No internet but still a functioning phone. Then use an iPad, or desktop. We also have a landline with an ‘answering machine’. No one NEEDS mobile internet. They need you to have mobile internet if these plans are going to fly at all. If large numbers of people got rid of the smartphone they’d have a big problem. We have enough ‘awake’ people that this could be significant, especially if worldwide.

That's very true. (I say, while using my smart phone to read and respond to this, because it is my only "computer.")

Consider getting a computer you use from home, with good security and no add on software, especially for financial transactions. We have given up security for convenience and are paying a high price. No one’s fault…we were lured into it.

All financial transactions are either done over the phone on a landline or in person. We have a computer. I'm just not allowed to use it. It's my spouse's.

You might consider an inexpensive computer of your own, such as a Chromebook (just be sure not to load it with apps). Here's a query where you can start looking: https://buyersguide.org/laptops/t/affordable?msclkid=35279a21f93f1de290b4f92960fee2a8&m=e&d=c&c=83288374330594&oid=kwd-83288316938805:loc-4094&qs=inexpensive%20computers%20laptops&lp=104807&li=&nw=s&nts=1&tdid=8564883
