“They Can’t Arrest All of Us”: U.S. Senator Rand Paul Calls on Americans to "Resist" CDC Guidelines

🇺🇸@COVID19Up: U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky released an urgent message to the country on Sunday (Aug. 8), claiming Americans are at a “moment of truth” in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and should stop following CDC guidelines that are not science-based.

"We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads," Paul said. "Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children? Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom."

"It's time for us to resist. They can't arrest all of us. They can't keep all of your kids home from school," he declared. "We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simply say: 'No, not again.'"

Recipe For A False Flag: Military Mass Casualty Drills Happening Now

above.phone Private Announcement

Some of you may be aware, we have been hard at work improving the above phone - our take on the best de-googled phone out there. We wanted to give more information to those closest to us in the @takebackourtech and @neo_network communities before the official launch in September. Thanks for all your support. :)

Our first batch of phones have been shipped out and we are actively supporting them. I wanted to provide a few answers around the phones, so those who are ready to buy can make an informed decision.

Official Product Page
Official Purchase Page (Starting at $550.00, Accepts Credit Card / BTC / LTC)

You have your choice of CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, there are detailed differences on that page but in essence you would use GrapheneOS for maximum security & privacy at the cost of usability.

CalyxOS has less phone hardening features but still strips out all the operating system level telemetry.

Additionally it ships with its own version of Google Play Services (microG). This makes your phone compatible with a wide selection of applications that are available on the Google Play Store (the Aurora Store on a de-googled phone). This greatly reduces the data sent to Google and lets you use apps that use Google Services if you really need them.

The second option is installation type. The minimal version leaves the phone untouched after installing the operating system. The Above version chooses the settings that are a reasonable improvement to the default experience, pre-installing the application suite, and adding our handcrafted wallpapers & themes.

There is no difference in price for the operating system or installation type. It is your choice!

The last option is the Above Privacy Suite, which we are putting the finishing touches on now. This will be a set of privacy services that the above.phone can easily be configured with, for multiple layers of private communication ontop of the phone itself. Privat email, VPN/DNS, video conferencing, e2e messaging, and alternative search. This comes at $100.00 a year, and the services launch in September.

We are putting the finishing touches on the Above Privacy Suite Services and our knowledgebase, which fill feature step by step instructions on migrating over your existing data, adjusting phone settings, setting up the Above Privacy Suite and using the phone for day-to-day needs. These should both be fully available in September for the official launch of the phone.

Every purchase you make supports the company behind #TakeBackOurTech, and either way we are committed to producing high quality education on taking back our technology.

This guy worked with the Biden admin and is connected to the Obama admin as well. He's telling people on twitter to wait 3 more weeks for vaccine proof. I think he is likely referencing the upcoming "Full Approval" by the FDA. Expect the approval to lead to more mask and vaccine mandates at schools, work places, and most public places. Are you prepared?

#TakeBackOurTech: Taking A Break, & Self-Healing Education
Official Community | Telegram Channel |Telegram Chat Odysee | Hive | Minds

#TakeBackOurTech is our first content initiative and over the past few weeks we have learned an absolute ton. Putting out articles and videos multiple times a week requires discipline and coordination, but these trials are fulfilled every time we hear stories from you. We've been listening to all of the feedback over the past month as our viewers discussed the Operating Systems module and wanted to capture the highlights here.

- Explain the differences between free & open source software among others, and celebrate fully FOSS operating systems & solutions
- Create guides or curate resources for macOS users to transition to Linux
- Create guides or curate resources for Microsoft Surface users to transition to Linux

Internally, we have many things to improve on our content creation process, design, website, and programs. We will be sharing additional resources and articles later this month and regularly scheduled programming will return in September.

❤️ If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave your comments in our chat, or use our contact form.

US Infrastructure Bill's Threat to Crypto
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-will-protect-your-personal-data

How does the proposed U.S. infrastructure bill fit in?

KYC and AML regulations are especially relevant right now with the recent battle over the U.S. infrastructure bill. An initially proposed version of the bill included extremely broad definitions of a “broker” which could be interpreted to apply to miners, nodes or developers. If this broad interpretation is to be used in practice, it would potentially require almost all cryptocurrency participants to collect and report information about the transactions they are interacting with.

For example, a Bitcoin miner could be required to report customer information to the IRS related to the transactions included in any block that it mines. While it would be impossible for many participants to comply with such a regulation, the concept has major negative implications for user privacy and security purposes. Someone mining Bitcoin in their garage should not be expected to collect the private information of thousands of users; nor should a user be forced to provide their private information to a random person mining Bitcoin in their garage.

While it wouldn’t fall directly under KYC or AML regulations, this provision could have similar impacts on the Bitcoin ecosystem, if enforced. Users would be harmed by being coerced to give up private information which could be hacked or sold to third parties. Operators would be harmed by needing to comply with stringent regulations — many, if not most, would likely shut down or move to a different jurisdiction. Meanwhile, criminals or tax evaders looking to use cryptocurrencies would simply use the tools to route around these regulations. Similar to KYC and AML regulations, the net effect of this infrastructure bill provision would likely be bad for good actors and neutral for bad actors.

Selling Your Personal Data Is The Norm For The Mainstream Mobile App Culture
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat | source

I'm writing up an complete argument as to why people should ditch modern day phones, and through my research I continue to be appalled at the level of data collection that occurs behind the scenes.

Here's a snippet from an independent study that summarizes what data gets sent to major advertising platforms.

The issue is that modern day developers are desperate for income over their users privacy, leading to people's political affiliation, sexual orientation, and GPS locations being sold to advertising platforms.

If you care about privacy, you've gotta sacrifice some of the mainstream apps you've been using, or have a phone that can limit permissions and observe tracking.

Gentle reminder that above.phones are still on sale, we have a few units left before the official launch in September. Select the Above Privacy Suite for your own VPN/Search/Email/E2E chat services!

Japan Suspends Use of 1.63 Million Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Doses After Vaccination Centers Find "Foreign Materials" Inside

🇯🇵💉@COVID19Up: Japan's health ministry said Thursday it has received reports from multiple mass vaccination centers in the country that some portion of the unused doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine have been found to contain foreign materials.

Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the Moderna vaccine in Japan, said it is suspending the use of 1.63 million doses as a precaution.

According to the ministry, Moderna promised to launch an investigation into the matter. Takeda had requested an emergency probe by the U.S. biotechnology firm, while urging medical institutions and other entities not to use any doses of the vaccine showing abnormality, even for doses not subject to the suspension.

150 Resign From Houston Methodist Hospital Over A COVID-19 Vaccination
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat

This is a story from last month but it deserves to be spread once again. 150 people left their jobs in solidarity. There must be millions of others in other industries who feel the same way. They are not alone, and we celebrate them.

"Digital rights advocates reacted harshly Thursday to a new internal U.S. government report detailing how ten federal agencies have plans to greatly expand their reliance on facial recognition in the years ahead.

The Government Accountability Office surveyed federal agencies and found ten have specific plans to increase their use of the technology by 2023—surveilling people for numerous reasons including to identify criminal suspects, track government employees’ level of alertness, and match faces of people on government property with names on watch lists."

How To Discredit Alternative Medicine
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat | source

In typical sleuth fashion, the CDC & mainstream media have found a way to paint themselves superior to those interested in alternative medicine. A health alert published by the CDC yesterday points to a huge uptick in weekly Ivermectin prescriptions, going from 3300 pre-pandemic to their current peak of 88,000 weekly.

They attempt to tie the usage of Ivermectin with irresponsible usage of veterinary grade medicine and applying topicals - but their own numbers don't lie. 99% of the usage was responsible prescription usage of Ivermectin.

Local reports show a 'threefold' increase in calls to local poison control from improper use of Ivemectin - totalling 150 this year.

They CDC cites specific cases of improper usage as if it reflects responsible usage of Ivermectin - however we can point to any adverse event system to show worse reactions to the COVID vaccines.

What a clown world we live in 🤡
