If There Is No Place Left To Hide: Why Bother Hiding?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Source: The Prepper Journal

Each day it seems we are greeted by another plan for government surveillance, under the guise of national security of course, in order to access our private information. Government, we are told must be able to see everything at any time on anyone and nothing seems to be off-limits anymore. It got me thinking; could we be faced with a potential future where the meaning of the word “privacy” will be understood as differently as the word “Gay” used to be? In its original context, Gay used to mean happy, merry, in good spirits and lively. Actually it still does, but nobody uses the word gay in the context of happy anymore. Over the years, that word’s meaning in the social context has changed and now Gay is inextricably tied to a different meaning entirely.  Privacy, it seems is headed for a similar fate and I wonder how long will it be before the meaning of privacy in our common understanding is completely different from what it is now. When do we reach the point where the word is so far from its original intent that we don’t recognize it anymore?

Governments used to have restrictions placed on what they could do. Actually, the Constitution was the defining document for our country that was created to do precisely that. There was such a thing as probable cause which would lead to a warrant for information. You had some level of privacy, meaning that you could keep your affairs to yourself to a large degree. What you did with your life, in your house was your own business. If the authorities felt you had committed a crime, they would have to prove justification and provide evidence to a judge who might issue a warrant. Even if you were arrested, laws prevented you from being dealt with in a manner that was inconsistent with the constitution. You had to have your rights read to you and the police couldn’t search your property without a warrant. They couldn’t detain you for a very long time without pressing charges and what you did in your own life was generally off limits unless a very clear path of information and procedure was followed.

But, that was the old meaning of privacy. The new privacy means something else entirely. The new meaning of privacy might as well mean happy and light-hearted because there is no real vestige of the original meaning left. We could start find ourselves saying  “Hey, did you go to Joan’s pool party last weekend? It was so fun and privacy.”

Privacy means freedom from observation but with each day that is more and more impossible to achieve. The latest example shows how the government will be scouring your Twitter and Facebook accounts when they audit you. The IRS, not content to take money at gunpoint away from us now want to make sure we don’t complain about this on social media?

“There are laws that regulate the government’s ability to get a hold of things like credit card transaction history. But those laws have become more permissive in the last several years, particularly after 9-11, and so some might say those laws are no longer in line with the average expectation of privacy,” says Mathews.

The government has said it would only check a Facebook page or twitter account if there is already red flag in a tax form

You could make the case that perhaps you shouldn’t be on sites like Facebook and Twitter if you don’t want the government watching you. This goes against all of the concepts of good OPSEC, I completely agree. However, I think this is different. This is government once again saying. We don’t really give a crap what you don’t want us to know.

Add this to the news yesterday that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is seeking bids to create yet another massive database. What information do they want to collect on you now?

A recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) reveals that the agency is seeking a “massive” online database capable of pulling up individuals’ personal information, connections and associates.

On March 28, ATF posted the notice on FedBizOpps.gov, entitled “Investigative System.”  The solicitation was updated on April 5 with a few minor changes.

The document says that the system will be utilized by staff “to provide rapid searches on various entities for example; names, telephone numbers, utility data and reverse phone look-ups, as a means to assist with investigations, and background research on people, assets and businesses.”

The system is described as a “massive online data repository system that contains a wide variety of data sources both historically and current that can be utilized in support of investigations and backgrounds.”

“Connections and Associates”. That means all your friends, relatives, ex-girlfriends, neighbors, soccer coaches, etc. So, effectively all privacy is dead with respect to the government. You may be able to keep parts of your life secret from your neighbor, but Big Sis is going to know. You aren’t safe from the government knowing what you are doing unless you are living on a remote deserted island in a hut with no running water or electricity with zero outside contacts to the rest of the world. Oh, I forgot, they will just fly a drone over your head to watch you if that is the case. If you are really sketchy, boom! Nice knowing you.

If we have truly come to the point, where we can no longer have any privacy, what does that mean? What follows logically from a scenario where the government knows every single piece of information about you under the auspices of National Security? Logic would state that they would use that information to begin to control behavior. We see strains of this with the If you see something, do something campaign. Using propaganda, they will make everyone afraid and distrusting of their neighbors.  After they have behavior modification started (and it already has, let’s face it) they can use this behemoth they have created to crack down on dissent. The “threats” will be found through their affiliations and what they say and how they vote, and what beer they buy and what books they read. Knowing all of this, what is a liberty minded person to do?

Should we unplug from the internet, throw our laptops and smart phones in the trash and hide? Should we cower in fear hoping that the day never comes when they knock on the door? Should we stifle any voice of resistance we have out of the fear that Big Brother will know? I don’t think so, besides they already do know everything about you. Privacy is dead, get used to it. They want us to separate, to hide. They want us unorganized and fearful of being caught speaking our mind. They want us to question everything before we do it.

My philosophy now is that they are going to do what they want and we are just about powerless at this time to stop them with current political and legal methods. A momentum has been building and we are on a path to an inevitable collision it seems. Is this by design? That is for another post but I have my opinions. I don’t know what it will look like or how it will happen, but I do know that we won’t ever turn from the path we are headed down without some massive event. I am preparing for an unknown future not knowing what to expect. The only thing I know is that I don’t plan on going out without a fight.

      Let them see… Have no Fear. Love them to death. Additionally, the Con-stitution is a Judas Goat, leading all who follow it into the gaping maw of the machine.

      The states granted certain powers in the 1787 Constitution to the United States government (corporation) it
      created, and no more. Yet, I can prove as early as 1791 Congress violated the corporate Charter and gave
      unconstitutional powers to the President, whereby President Washington created District states, by “dividing the
      states”, his words. Since that time Congress has continued to cede Congressional powers to the President
      completing the office of king. Congress is now going to give the President fast track authority to enter treaties,
      without prior Senate approval.
      The biggest fraud and unconstitutional act to take place was during and after the Civil War. Namely the death of
      the 1787 Constitution, via Congress going out of session, Sine Die in 1861 and the passage of the Fourteenth
      Amendment. Congress then installed an unconstitutional de facto government, under the disguise of the 1787
      Constitution, which forbids their actions. The re-declaration of War against the South, after the Civil War was
      over, and after they were granted a full pardon by President Johnson, was against the 1787 Constitution and
      American jurisprudence. Since that time we have had a military government, not a Constitutional government. As
      soon as Congress went Sine Die as a result of the Southern states removing their representatives from Congress,
      the United States government had to operate in its military capacity. President Lincoln had to act as Commanderin-Chief, it was the only position left, he could not act as President, all states were not represented in Congress,
      so the corporation was dissolved. After the Civil War and pardon, the Southern states retook their seats in
      Congress. The northern states decided they would rather remain a de facto government, because they had more
      power that way, so they kicked the southern states out of Congress again and demanded the new United States
      Constitution be ratified by the southern states, before they could be re admitted again for a second time.
      The Fourteenth Amendment was not properly ratified, and this is very easy to prove. The Republican
      governments of the South were kicked out of office by the military district commanders, and puppet
      governments put in place to pass the Amendment. This is a matter of history, but hardly anyone is aware of it.
      The fraud has been kept from Americans, by selected history being taught to Americans in the public school
      system, colored to meet the purpose of the military government and those they work for.
      If that weren’t enough, in 1933 all Americans were made enemies of the Bankers, to force us to pay their
      fraudulent debts, which they created. This brings us to the SS# problem you were asking about. This number has
      one purpose, to number and identify those responsible for the debt owed to the Bankers, making us chattel property, natural resources, or to be blunt, financial slaves. Even with all this, until recently I had not changed my
      opinion about coming out of this monetary system. However, because of the nature of our government and its
      laws, this is not possible. The use of FRN’S is just as binding in maritime contract law, see Law of the Flag, in
      Bouvier’s Law Dictionary. The physical presence of your body in this country brings you under their military
      jurisdiction. Remember under the rules of Conquest and military rule, see the same dictionary, you have only the
      rights granted by the Commander-in-Chief

        Thanks for your comment truthzilla.

      Just as there is really no hiding for us, neither will there be any for they who seek to usurp God’s Throne!

      “He that would save his life will lose it. He that would give up his life for My sake, shall save it.” – Jesus Christ.

      What of the world if Christ hid? His disciples hid? “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” – edmund burke

      It is with the aforementioned in mind that I share the following…

      It is revealed at Revelation 13:18 in God’s Word :

      “Here is WISDOM. Let him that hath UNDERSTANDING count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

      I have capitalized the words, wisdom and understanding, so that the reader may observe that Christ is here revealing a clue to the identity and mark of the ‘beast’. If one looks back to the books of Kings and Chronicles, one finds the man of whom Christ is speaking. What man is recorded in both books to have exacted gold tributes of 666 talents? What man was gifted with wisdom and understanding above every other of his day? What man fell away from worshiping the One True God, following after the false gods of his many wives?

      Surely by now, the reader can discern what man! Solomon! The man that took the ‘star of chemosh’ as his own personal seal, afterward to be known as the ‘seal of solomon! Later, to be referred to, (as a cover up) as the “star of david”. The HEXagram has no historical link to David of the Bible. It IS however, linked with the fallen solomon. And what organizations today USE the six pointed star? The ‘free’masons are founded upon the fallen solomon and have revered him highly throughout their organization….and ‘who’ else shares this symbol, steeped in demonic ritual? One cannot now look at C-span without seeing the six pointed star on the national seal, and a HEXagram between each and every member of congress. Soldiers are now asking why it is that each officer sword of all branches of the military have the HEXagram on the hilt of every blade. The HEXagram is a geometric reference to the number 666. The cwhoreporation, Digimarc, for instance, (designer of driver’s licenses and ID’s for various U.S. states) has an interesting logo…. look at the colored spoked wheels inside the circle. Notice (at the link below) the color key on the outside edge? Using those colors, one may find 3 six spoked ‘stars’ superimposed upon one another. 6-6-6…..and on forms of citizen identification no less!

      http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/799f8af9fb.jpg

      Take a dollar bill from one’s back pocket and see that the HEXagram mark of the beast is emblazoned above the eagle, which is their way of indicating that ‘they’ rule ‘over’ america.

      But why believe me? See for yourselves:

      Google – six pointed star mark

      Google – 666 talents of gold

      Google – D.C. Jerusalem masonic shrine

      Google – Shriner lucifer

      Google – lucifer telescope

      Youtube – walmart guard towers. They have made their deal with the devil, so to speak and are considered, “too big to fail”. Their workers already wear the six pointed ‘star’ on the foreheads. (of their hats anyway) Can the reader now see that, after all the smaller retail food outlets have diminished or dried up and blown away, that only the largest retail giant in the land will have food rations? That is why they have the guard towers? And what is their “mark”? The same as the mark of the beast! It’s not hard to see food lines and many minions, having signed their lives away, lining up with their ‘marks’ handy, in order to obtain rations.

      Google – Walmart six pointed logo

      Google – soldiers ask why six pointed star now on all officer swords

      The hour is late, the harvest is great and the workers are few…. See the signs He has promised us…

      The story “Huge Media Blackout regarding earth and moon orbital changes” used to be hosted at Beforeitsnews.com but the story was deleted several times. This information is of vital importance to all who wish to make informed decisions regarding the lives of their loved ones and themselves. Many were warned, yet because of the “HUGE MEDIA BLACKOUT” when the great flooding on the missouri river took place in 2011 as a direct result of the markedly increased solar radiation now hitting the northern latitudes in spring and summer months, not many took heed to the warnings. And who knew beforehand??? I attended the army core of engineers meeting after the disaster and addressed the Truth. The cowards sat silent and guilty, and there is no way they couldn’t have known well before hand as I and many others knew and tried to warn others.

      Study and see that Luke 21:25-28 is in fulfillment at this time. And see that when God says that the heavenly bodies will shake, and there will be signs in sun, moon and stars, while the nations will be in anguish over the great agitation of the oceans…..He Means It. Isaiah 24:20, He means it. Revelation 16:8, He means it!

      Christ also means it as He reassures us, “When you see the beginning of these things, STAND UP and LIFT UP your heads, for your redemption draws near”. TOO many are instead doing just the opposite, sitting down and hanging their heads! IF ONE IS AFRAID of what is coming upon the world, it is only because, deep down, you believe YOU HAVE IT COMING to you!

      DO YOU? Kneel and repent of sin, live STRONG in HIS WORD, His SON, Jesus Christ, and be forgiven, and you will instead find GREAT REASON to stand and raise your heads, even your voices, to God and to your fellow man.

      He forgave Kirk Martin, He can forgive you too….Try Him. Soon.

      For those who truly seek to know God’s ways, If He exists, where is his signature on Creation….I tell you the time is short, the harvest is great, and the workers are few. See:

      • King of Shambhala

        Did you see 666 drawn in the Illinios Lottery the day after Obama’s election?

        He’s marked by that so he’s the Antichrist.

        He also uses money to mark us all (in hand and forehead); think about that: the Mark of 666 is Obama’s money.

      Benjamin Franklin : “People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both”

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XSQTz1bccL4#!

      It took 2 men and 1 woman to search a little boy.

      Any of you that allowed your children to be scanned and or groped deserve exactly what you get, a global prison.

      The enemy isn’t over there as much as in Washington and now there is no where to hide.

      Think building bunker will help?

      Okay, than think on these words to build one: bill of sale, permit, Julie (or city / county records to make sure your excavation does not bust a water, gas or electric main, the people who actually come out and dig and put it in, city / county records (the government will be informed and will come to get your supply of food.

      One last thing, a nuclear physicist told me before he passed away that if you do not put that sucker down at least 100ft, it’s not really going to help.

      The average depth is 40 feet.

      Military installations have theirs in the side of a granite mountain and down close to 1,000 feet.

      Again, there are records of everything unless you do it yourself and pay in cash.

      If you order a ton of building supplies at Home Depot and pay with a credit card, that purchase is in a data base and probably red flagged as “something suspicious going on”.

      The government also knows that where there is a bunker – there is food and probably guns and ammo.

      There is no where to hide, now with drones, not even a unknown tropical island is safe.

      Now one thought: think of another dimension, parallel world or off planet………….science fiction? Possibly, possibly not as the average person is 50 years behind the latest scientific discoveries we really have hidden away.

      And if you could jump to another dimension, parallel world, etc, you may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

      Your final and only hope at this point is in God – Trust in Him, pray and repent to Him, submit to Him. He is our final hope against the luciferian society that has temporarily taken hold of our planet.

      For those that worry about the flesh, these shells we call bodies – as long as you do not sell out your soul, they can only terminate your body – setting your soul free.

      I’ve been close to death (car accident and twice with a big gun held to my head) – honestly, these coverings, flesh suits are not you. Your real you is your soul and again, “they” cannot take it from you, you can give or sell it (your call) but these bodies are so temporary.

      I’ve been with probably more than 100 people when they have passed and something, a life force, the soul, something more than the outer shell survives and lifts off.

      There is but one place left to hide and lucifer doesn’t want you to know about it.

      That one last refuge is in Yeshua (Jesus).

      http://www.jimfeeney.org/drawing-closer-God.html

      The Muslims have one thing right, they do pray (although to the wrong God) multiple times a day together. That is what we Christians should be doing.

      I don’t go to any church. God’s Church is nature, our planet, my garden, my yard, while taking a walk and looking at the big blue sky.

      Take refuge in God, our one true Father.

      These trouble times are but a blink in the eye of eternity.

      These “people” who have sold their souls for power, fame, wealth, sex, money and this world will find out too late that they were misguided.

      There is one last place to hide. Seek refuge within The Almighty.

      Psalm 55:17, KJV Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

      “They” at this point do have our bodies – whether you surrender your soul to “them” the ones that do the goon work for lucifer or submit onto God is your choice.

      Peace be with you today and always.

      Our God is a God of love.

      All the hate, the misery, greed and problems we seem to have are the work of lucifer.

      Our almighty Father has given lucifer reign over this Earth but for a short time and once He has had enough of the BS, He will in his own good time cast the evil one and his followers into the abyss.

      I never mentioned the last time I had a gun held to my head.

      The guy’s eyes got real big, almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his jaw dropped as he looked behind me – I head him screaming as he ran, “Holy F*** a 20 foot angel, holy f***”.

      I didn’t see any angel but I did feel a presence, a sense of peace and thought, maybe this is what it is like before you have your head blown off………………..maybe the guy was on drugs, maybe hallucinating, maybe some synapses misfired in his brain causing a delusion or maybe my guardian angel is bigger than I thought.? :eek:

    • taxabuses

      My wife and I worked very hard, I’m a Veteran and were to be a great example of people who came from dirt-floors and got Degrees, raised our children under country and flag and paid our taxes. BUT jelosy and fear have driven the Missourians into their bunker and they have made All our neighbors believe we are to the contrary. Today we are POOR because of the hatred, racist, and mean IRS that took all, more than what we owed, ruin our Credit Bureau to a tune of $425,000, now we cannot a job, loan, rent, mortgage – all because of jelosy and hatred, envy and strife. This nation WAS great no longer its full of people that get everything for FREE, come to this country without paying one cent in taxes and get housing, health and all because of the taxes stolen from us to give to them. And many look like whites from Missouri. And to finish this we were told for being honest, decent, moral people we gave the IRS as instructed ALL our financial info so they walked in and took it. Illegals are being told today don’t pay with your pewrsonal checking account, don’t give the IRS any financial info and don’t respond to their calls or mail – its great to be a “johnny-come-lately”! :razz:

    • truthseeker53

      There was war in Heaven. God exiled Lucifer and the corrupted angels to earth, put Adam and Eve here so the universe could know the outcome of Lucifer’s way. We are nearing the end of the demonstration. God is our ONLY refuge.

    • phoenix rising

      No where to hide and really who wants to live through this anyway.
      If the earth is polluted and ravaged. Everyone scrounging for food.
      No thanks. I am ready to move on up!

    • anonymous

      @taxabuses–many bizarre things are going on unseen by the vast majority. Many lives are wasted by the ignorance of the tramping around of whatever it is. I have sensed a profound ignorance in this thing as it grips some people who carry out it’s missions of mostly destruction for it, and always under a very deceptive (other reason) (job) (justice) (rightousness), new flavor almost every week. The clues are there, God of our universe can be sensed or described in one aspect as all knowledge, so it stands to reason that this force which conducts many different agendas (not just the one you mentioned) using some types of people against others is the opposite of the God, ignorance being the opposite of knowledge. Dead to rights, or whatever the expression, I know I have sensed the total ignorance backing these scams. And carried out by at least somewhat souless people, at least in the false witnessing campaigns I’ve investigated. Of course on this last point varying degrees might be permissible, I’ve noticed glint’s of guilt in some criminal operatives eyes and none in others, and of course that doesn’t tell the whole story for them, but the goal of soulessness was permeateting forward FOR SURE (gotcha). Who or what would need human operatives who desire and probably mostly have those characteristics?
