Electronic and Grant Slavery: How to Break Free
How electronic systems and big money control us and what we can do to fight back
Over the last thirty years, many new tools have been introduced that allow us to find, sort, process, and communicate data and information rapidly. At first, these tools (Internet search engines, social media, and AI) provided us with access to more data and information which made it easier for us to make good decisions and conduct our business and personal lives.
Recently these tools have been co-opted by large, multinational corporations; government entities; and wealthy individuals.
If an organization pays enough money; it can eliminate negative comments on products; make sure world events have a specific slant; remove historical facts; and make sure that people see certain views on gender, marriage and racial heritage.
In addition, about 20 years ago, enterprising individuals (Bill Gates, George Soros and others) and organizations began establishing foundations that doled out money under the guise of advancing science and helping people. At the same time, there was a significant increase in research money from the federal government.
What really happened was these individuals, organizations, and the government used their clout, and the promise of follow-on funding, to make sure the “research” findings; K-12, university, and professional school (medical school, etc.) curricula; and state laws supported their agendas.
This led to a perfect storm. The research data and information became slanted and inaccurate, education became social engineering, state governments became more dependent on federal dollars, the data and information from Internet searches became restricted, the AI (which is just using large datasets to compile information) eliminated certain information, and the traditional media continued on its compromised trajectory (more than 70% of the advertising revenue on cable “news” networks is from pharmaceutical companies which means negative news on medical products is not aired).
Since the changes were gradual, it was not obvious to most people what was happening.
Some recent events shifted the window a bit so more people are aware of the problems. The Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates, that do not appear to have been either safe or effective, made many people question the accuracy of “science” and the role of the government in personal health decisions. Others have been jolted awake by threats of land seizures for pipelines that are unprofitable without taxpayer subsidies. And some are beginning to wonder why highly qualified children of certain ethnicities and genders are struggling to gain admission to top colleges.
While it can seem overwhelming, there are many things we can do within our neighborhoods, towns, cities, and state to change the tide.
Run for office, volunteer for a committee, or join a commission.
Encourage no votes on any legislation created outside the state.
Encourage legislation that supports the rights of the individual.
Support legislation that strengthens private property rights. Increase penalties for unauthorized property damage or seizure.
Allow taxpayers to choose how and where their education property tax dollars are spent.
Encourage no votes on any legislation that allows more government control.
Pass legislation that makes companies cover the full cost of foreign workers (schooling, social programs, police protection, etc.)
Restrict political donations from multinational corporations and PACs.
Prohibit tax dollars for public health announcements that directly or indirectly support pharmaceutical products.
Find ways for schools and universities to reduce their dependence on Federal money.
Support alternative tech companies that offer different AI datasets and less censorship of ideas.
