“I have nothing to hide.” Heard this one before? Here’s a simple website you can send to anyone who says it: ihavenothingtohide.eu/ It might make you rethink what “nothing to hide” actually means. Your privacy isn’t about hiding something wrong. It’s about deciding what you share, with whom, and why. Know someone who always says “I have nothing to hide”? Send them this. #Privacy #DataPrivacy #DigitalPrivacy

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense. It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world, we're officially calling for the resignation or termination of this officer IMMEDIATELY. A female Fort Worth police officer was caught on camera threatening to ticket a retired federal law enforcement officer and Christian street preacher for “offensive speech.” The officer told the man that if someone is offended by his preaching, then “we have a problem” and said she would issue him a ticket. When he asked if she was really going to ticket him for offensive speech, she replied, “Yes, I am.” This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Police officers do not have the authority to ticket people for speech that offends others. That is the exact opposite of how freedom of speech works in America. The fact that this officer targeted a retired federal law enforcement officer who was simply preaching makes this even more unacceptable. Departments that employ officers who openly disregard the Constitution need to clean house. This kind of behavior erodes public trust and makes every good officer’s job harder. Pass this along so more people see what is happening on our streets. #FortWorthPD #FirstAmendment

Proton is now publicly calling Windows spyware over the Global Device ID that Microsoft uses for every Windows installation. They say users never consent to the GDID, can't remove it, and that reinstalling Windows only partially helps since Microsoft keeps the old records. The company found exactly one mention of the identifier in all of Microsoft's public documentation. Every Windows installation carries a Global Device ID that Microsoft can hand to law enforcement, and a federal complaint against an alleged Scattered Spider hacker just showed it defeating a VPN. Per the FBI affidavit, Microsoft records tied one GDID to the creation of an ngrok account used in a May 2025 jewelry retailer breach, then gave investigators the device's full IP history. Cross-referenced against the suspect's Apple, Snapchat, and Facebook logins, the VPN didn't matter.

The DHS signed a $1 billion contract merging: Passport data. IRS records. HHS files. FBI databases. License plate readers. Commercial data brokers. Into a single targeting system. ICE's surveillance budget alone: $28.7 billion. This is nothing if not surveillance infrastructure

"I have nothing to hide" Yeah? Except: Your medical info. Your search history. Your financial history. Your location patterns. Your relationship "data." Your habits and routines. Your banking information. Privacy isn’t about secrecy. It’s about refusing to be inventory.

My father cried. I had never seen it. Not once in my life. 70 years old. Post-war generation. He hated America with everything he had. 60 years. Not one kind word. Not one. Then March 2011 came. He sat in front of the TV. Every day. Silent. Fists on his knees. Your Marines digging black mud with their bare hands for Japanese strangers. Your 19-year-old sailors sleeping on cold steel floors so our grandmothers could have beds. Your carrier sailing INTO the radiation while the whole world ran out. He watched all of it. And said nothing. Then one night I passed his room and I froze. Behind that door, my father, the strongest and most stubborn man I ever knew, was sobbing like a child. I couldn't move. I just stood there in the dark hallway, listening, crying with him. Then he said it. One sentence. It tore 60 years apart: "I was wrong about them." Do you understand what that took? A lifetime of hatred. Gone. Destroyed by soldiers carrying soup to strangers. America, you didn't just save our towns. You reached inside my father's chest and healed a wound he swore would never close. He passed away believing in you. Happy 250th. 🇺🇸🇯🇵 An old man who hated you died loving you. My father.

The man who helped build the FBI’s FISA process told me that the protections he put in place to prevent abuse no longer exist. One by one, he said, those safeguards have been stripped away. The FISA oversight we are promised is a myth.

Dear US Government, I am writing to inform you that I wish to opt out of the funding of your endeavors from this point forward. My family currently does not see any value provided for what we are paying. Given the fact that American governance is predicated upon “consent of the governed”, as expressed in our founding documents, please accept this legal notice that neither myself, nor my family, consent any longer. Thank you.

Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in. If I bought my property outright for $60,000 in 2009 Now the county says it’s worth $246,000. Did I sell it? No. Did I make a profit? No. Did I get a check for $246,000? No. But my taxes jumped like I did. That’s the problem. This isn’t income. This isn’t cash. This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it. If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell. If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax. So why does owning a home work differently? Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains? A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money. You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it. This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received. And people are starting to notice. This needs to be on everyone’s mind✔️

On this day 30 years ago, the US government murdered 82 men, women and children. Why? Because some federal agencies wanted a budget increase, and they needed to create a boogeyman to justify it. They descended on Waco, Texas to arrest David Koresh for allegedly modifying weapons to make them into "machine guns", though they had no physical evidence of that. Instead of simply arresting Koresh one of the many times prior to the siege that he left the compound alone, or simply allowing him to surrender after his manifesto was released, they chose instead to trap dozens of families in their compound, set it on fire, and shoot anyone who tried to escape as it burned. The government then slandered the names of the Branch Davidians to the public, to try to convince us that it was good that they had murdered families, even children and babies. We remember them today. Here are the names we know: Mary Jean Borst, 49 at time of death Pablo Cohen, 38 Evette Fagan, 34 Lisa Marie Farris, 26 Dayland Gent, 3 Peter Gent, 24 Diana Henry, 28 Paulina Henry, 24 Phillip Henry, 22 Stephen Henry, 26 Vanessa Henry, 19 Zilla Henry, 55 Cyrus Howell, 8 Rachel Howell, 23 Star Howell, 6 Sherri Lynn Jewell, 23 David Michael Jones, 30 Michelle Jones, 18 Perry Jones, age unknown Serenity Sea Jones, 4 Bobbie Lane Koresh, 16 months Nicole Elizabeth Little, 24 Jeffery Little, 32 Douglas Wayne Martin, 42 Lisa Martin, 13 Sheila Martin, 15 Abigail Martinez, 11 Audrey Martinez, 13 Crystal Martinez, 3 Isaiah Martinez, 4 Joseph Martinez, 8 Juliete Santoyo Martinez, 30 Jillane Matthews, age unknown Alison Bernadette Monbelly, 31 Melissa Morrison, 6 Rosemary Morrison, 29 Theresa Noberega, 48 Judy Schneider, 41 Mayanah Schneider, 2 Steve Schneider, 48 Mayanah Schneider, 2 Michael Schroeder, 29 Laraine B. Silva, 40 Floracita Sonobe, 34 Scott Kojiro Sonobe, 35 Aisha Gyarfas Summers, 17 Gregory Allen Summers, 28 Startle Summers, 1 Hollywood Sylvia, age unknown Lorraine Sylvia, 40 Rachel Sylvia, 13 Stanley Sylvia, age unknown Doris Vaega, age unknown Margarida Joann Vaega, 47 Neal Vaega, 37 Jaydean Carnwell Wendel, age unknown Mark H. Wendel, age unknown May your memories be a great blessing. Your deaths will not be in vain. We will end the ATF and FBI, and the cult of deference to an out-of-control government that allows murderous organizations like them to continue to exist.

BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts. A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.” Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans. During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large. And this fellow Americans, is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775. History. Learn it, or repeat it.

"Nothing to hide" is the biggest lie they sold you. Privacy isn't about secrets. It's about power. Who has it. Who keeps it. Who gets to say no. Without privacy, you're not free. You're exposed to systems designed to control you. Here’s 7 cases that prove it:
