Your information is everywhere on the internet. It is in your banking, financial, credit card, cell phone, internet, utility, and online purchase accounts and in the accounts of these companies’ service providers. Your information is in more places than you can imagine. The internet system is easy to hack, because it was created as an open system for the military.
Depending on what thieves gain access to, they may make purchases on your current credit cards and/or drain your bank accounts.
Identity thieves can also use all or some of your data to open new credit or loan accounts – and then let the unpaid debts pile up.
By opening a lot of new accounts in a short period of time, thieves can lower your credit score. The repercussions of a low credit score are immense.
The FBI, the NSA can put kiddie porn on your computer and arrest you.
We can be spied on without warrants in violation of the Constitution.
Cyber security does not exist. It is a myth.
The digital revolution has totally destroyed our constitutional right to privacy and has left us insecure to every kind of malevolent event.
The shifting of all custom relations costs to the customer, resulting in service users spending endless time with a robot trying to correct service and account problems. Problems previously handled in 3 minutes now take 3 hours, sometimes three days.
The digital revolution has brought us kids who have never played outside in the sunshine and live in a world of video games. We now have reality-immune kids.
The digital revolution is the foundation for our coming Age of Tyranny.
The developers of the digital revolution are humanity’s worse enemies.
The only solution is to bring back the analogue days.
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.

Thank god if you are to poor to steal from.
The Federal Reserve Bank robs the poor every day, and no software can block that.
that is the same whether you are rich or poor.
Vox Day just lamented about this….
Whereas the Boomers are openly gleeful to have denied the younger generations the world they knew, it grieves Generation X that we were unable to preserve it.
When Spacebunny and I bought our first house, I consciously sought one that was on a dead end culdesac backed up on a park, with the idea that the children we hoped to have would be able to run around and play there with the pack of neighborhood kids one day.
But, as Spacebunny correctly pointed out, it was already too late for that. Even by the end of the 1990s, suburban kids really didn’t do that anymore, for a variety of reasons.
He brings up boomers (he’s pretty old himself) to get a food fight. Just like fat people or blacks here.
My 2 GenX and 2 millenials roamed in the neighborhood and also out of the neighborhood.
My GenX son, whether he conciously sought it out or just happened upon it, also bought a house on a cul de sac backed up to a small bit of woods through which you can get to the town’s recreation complex. HS football field, 3 baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and track. Through the woods at the end of the cul de sac leads to schools with even more athletic fields.
My 3 grandchildren in that household did get outside, though not as often as my kids. But now when I visit I’m pleased to see them riding bikes with friends and parents aren’t too worried that they’re going all over town.
Gen X too.
We could go to the school and play on the playground after school and on weekends.
Today, nope. These school properties that we are paying never-ending taxes for are off limits to everyone outside of school hours, and to every non-student during school hours.
My data was ” leaked” by AT&T, who offers besides a ” heartfelt apology, ” , also provides free” ID protection via Experian, but first you have to prove who you really are according to erroneous data that has been collected by data bots over decades. After talking to a total automaton ” expert” finally gave up. I hope who ever steals my purported ID has better luck with it than I had.
zero trust plan leading to c40 smart cities. Digitally of course, backed by swat teams.
When you find yourself hopelessly surrounded in a dark and evil totalitarian state, be a light in the darkness…go to the heart of the darkness and light a match…igniting the gasoline, fire cleanses.
You know the system is totally fcuked when you worry more about the government accessing your info than criminals…guess which is more nefarious.

The irony is inescapable.
Electricity, which propelled mankind’s progress forward in the 19th and 20th centuries, has led to mankind’s electronic imprisonment during the 21st.
There is no escaping it.
Try living the John Galt experience, and they will simply geolocate you, and Drone your ass…
Don’t believe me?
Cue up some footage of the hapless Krainian soldiers getting immolated by Russian drones and tell me how to escape that fate…
10,000+ satellites in the sky ensure we shall never know freedom again.
All brought to you by electrons.
This is what the digital revolution brought us
Loss of all privacy.
The sad thing is how many lost all their privacy voluntarily. Posting everything about their life online in places like My Space, Facebook, and Twitter.
Remember, only twits tweet.
