Most people on this side of the great divide have concluded that the time for fixing what is broken in America has passed. The historical processes that have been unleashed by past error will just have to run their course. What comes after will be whatever the winners of the great struggle create. What if that is not true and there is a window to stop this process? What things could we do to break this cycle of madness that seems to have gripped the American empire?
One thing that should be done right away for no other reason than to slow things down is shutting off the mobile phone system. Humans evolved to interact with one another in person, not through the virtual reality of the mobile device. Everywhere you go you see people walking around like zombies, glued to their phone. It is like the drug soma from the novel Brave New World. The difference is this drug puts people into a trance in which their senses are bombarded with data that irritate them.
One reason we have become an outrage culture is outrage is the only way to get attention from others. In a world where people are linked to a constant stream of images and bursts of text, getting noticed means being outlandish of outrageous within those data streams. On the other hand, being glued to the data stream leaves little room for real human interaction and even less room for real emotion. Large swaths of the population only feel human when they are outraged by the stream.
This would not be as difficult to do as you might think. The rulers could impose a dollar per minute tax on the service. Sure, the wireless firms would fight it, but the government has tanks and men with guns. Shoot enough wireless executives and the rest either run away or fall in line. The firm slap of authority is best conveyed against the wall of the prison, after a quick trial. It was not that long ago when mobile charges were prohibitive and very few people could afford a mobile phone.
Similarly, the big social media platforms have become a problem. They are nothing more than cauldrons of human misery now. Again, it was not so long ago when these platforms did not exist. If we got rid of Facebook and Twitter, the world does not change in any important ways. People would simply migrate back to small private groups on-line or go outside again. Turning off the big social platforms would have an immediate positive impact on the psyche of the public.
Shutting these down would be easier than limiting the mobile device. Enforcement of Section 230 along with new privacy laws that prohibit them from harvesting your activity on-line would shut them down in weeks. Once they are subject to the same laws as everyone else and they cannot steal from their users, their business model would collapse in a hurry. Small platforms would still exist, but as labors of love or as small businesses run by one or two people with a narrow interest.
Another rollback would have to be the cameras. If you are out in public and have a heart attack or you are attacked by a criminal, people pull out their phones and begin taking pics of your suffering. They rather hope you die so they can get a video that will go viral. Combined with the cameras put up by the government and business, all of us now live in a synopticon. This is a world where all of us are individually monitored by all of us, a mass of camera wielding ghouls.
The solution here is your image is yours and you own it. Anyone possessing your image or distributing your image without your express permission is no different than someone trafficking in stolen goods. If someone wants to post your bad day on-line, they need your permission. The platform hosting it needs your permission. Otherwise, they are liable for possessing your property without your permission. This would also apply to security cameras. They can be used only in a courtroom.
This is not a novel concept. Many states still have laws on the books, for example, against filming a public road. Movie companies used to need permission to use video of people walking down a street. Your image used to be your property. A big part of what ails us is we have allowed the ownership of your information to fall into the public domain. Everywhere you go someone is taking pictures of you and you have no control over what they do with those images.
What is being proposed here, in effect, is rolling back the last 25 years of technological and economic change that no one contemplated, debated, or voted on. This all just evolved quickly before anyone could contemplate the impact. A generation long real-world experiment has proven it was a bad idea. We have created a world of outraged shut-ins and snitches. The only thing everyone agrees upon is that everyone hates the world they experience, either in reality or through their device.
Would people riot in the streets if their phones suddenly became useful only in emergencies as a way to call for help? Would there be protest marches over the loss of Facebook and YouTube? Would Zoomers begin forming militias when they can no longer video every moment of their life with their phone? Obviously not, as these things did not happen over Covid. In fact, people would adapt and maybe regrow the backbone and spirit needed to protest such things.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

God bless you Z man for stating the truth. Privacy and the fourth amendment basically no longer exist in this world that has become a mix of true reality and a “virtual” internet/digital nightmare. We are steps from Klaus the Klown and his minions like Gates making us all controlled Cyborgs with their trans humanism. Unfortunately the sheep will never go for the idea. Progress is good says the Liberal Progressive as he repeats the mistakes of history.
Used to be that one required a legally signed “model release” document from the subject when taking or using anyone’s photograph.
Enforcing that and suing those taking or using pictures without proper permission would change the current social environment in a momentous way.
Auntie shall do a little research on the topic and here’s hoping those privacy and copyright laws are still on the books.
In case one hasn’t noticed there are two strains of humans coming out of this experiment that our Gods of antiquity created from altering our homo sapient DNA. One strain is developing into self directing individuals while the other strain has developed into binary thinking slaves for use by their superiors for the maintenance of this planet when the time comes for their use.
Our brain is far more advanced than the rest of our organism. This did not happen from evolution. It was by design. Our creators probably came from Mars. When that planet went south for the sustenance of organic life the individuals there who were intelligent came here and seeing that our ancestors had potential of intelligent development decided to take advantage of that potential. Then something happened here that set back their plan; a natural cataclysm that set their entire experiment back. So now thousands of years have passed and after much experience our brain began to function using logic & reason.
In the last few hundred years self directing individuals began to invent and create industries with their inventions. This created jobs for the majority of the binary thinking slaves and increased everyone’s standard of living. As the wealth increased some of the binary thinking slaves turned into parasites and began to get this wealth generated by individual thinkers under their control. These parasites today are called politicians and all others that want to control other men and their production of goods and services.
The major part of these inventors and producers of goods & services come from the Caucasian race. Interesting how the Caucasian race is being discriminated against today. Binary thinking has taken over in government and even the corporations and as a result the economy is tanking. The individual is no longer allowed a say in our society. So as a result this one strain of homo sapiens is going into hibernation while the other strain that has become parasites will continue to eat everything until a total collapse happens and many of these parasites will end up dead.
It is not hard to see where we are going today. The insanity of these parasites can’t even see where this is all going. All they can see is dollar signs as the government promises money for everyone, wall street and the corporations. All while production is falling through the floor. Without individual incentive the economy dies. Without small business the corporations will fail. And so will government at all levels.
The American dream was built by the Caucasian race; like it or not. The Caucasian Race is what built western civilization. The white man is decreasing in numbers and with it is western civilization.
The harvest is coming. The individual will survive while the binary thinking drones will disappear just like the Neanderthals disappeared when the more advanced homo sapient came on the scene.
So don’t be discouraged at what one is seeing during this period of sudden change. Our Gods are at work in the area of eternal creation. Genesis tells the story; not the timeline. It is a never ending story.
It’s really simple so simple a 5th Grader can understand it: God favors (and Judges for) Truth, Honesty, Hard Work, Christianity, Moral Values, Virtue, Humility, Peace, Honor, Traditions, Families, Rural Life, improving your knowledge etc. He hates liars & cheats, the NWO GOP, perverts, the ZOG, low IQ Jive-ass Culture, illegal drugs, RAP music, Satanist, Suits, etc. Genes, Race and environment are a part of us but so is each persons choices, actions, and their own character. Democrats will blame Boomers, or Deplorables, or Republicans, or Capitalist, or Trump Supporters, or Conservatives, or Christians, or alt-Right Wing Extremist Terrorist or whoever they claim is always picking on them; but God will blame the guilty sinner themselves.
Wonderful ideas. Never be proposed or put into effect, the payoff (so far) is jut too high for the profiteers to disdain for moral purposes. Think of it: Instead of actually allowing people to earn real money in productive endeavors and keep what they earn, the smart set has them voluntarily burying themselves in debt from childhood on, with no productive endeavors of any sort. They get away with this by presenting never-ending distraction (smartphones and other electronic toys) to ensure that the people don’t catch on to how they are getting screwed. It works well.
Maybe things will actually fall apart so badly that electricity and related services (wireless, internet lines, and the like) will stop working. If so, it will be in concert with a large fraction of the people on earth dying, so there will no longer be any need to distract them. I wonder about this but find it to be off sale, and impossible to reasonably consider. I am a small minded fool, perhaps.
Almost everything we see or read about is an induced scam of one sort or another, and almost all of them can be tracked down to the same small set of globalist oligarchs and their minions. The only way to take them down is to burn it ALL down. Leave the apparatus, and another scammer will pick it up and put it to use. We will be progressively enslaved until the whole idea of progress is fundamentally changed. That time may be coming, but it is not yet in sight.
I don’t have a cell phone and I’ve never been on any social media except for watching YouTube and other video channels but, then again, I don’t watch celebrities, politicians, or so-called YouTube influencers. Those people are pathetic in my eyes.
What rulers is Z Man talking about? Why would the current brood of sociopaths running our society agree to act against their own agenda? Why would we want any ruling class, no matter how benevolent, to exercize yet more violence-backed taxation and enforcement powers over us?
