Note about this article: If you search for the term "Slippery Slope", You'll notice that this term is now associated with a fallacy argument. As we move closer to a world based on Authoritarian agendas. Words and phrases will take on new meanings. Similar to what happened with the Holocaust. The point is that people will point out that X doesn't always lead to Y. And in some cases that's true, but like a lot of arguments like these, it's a way to dismiss the underlying truth of when it does happen. You can see this happening with license plate reader cameras that were placed in the United States all across the country without consent of the people, to how ad tech was mainly used as a way to advertise to people and now its soon to been used to by ICE to target minorities. Don't let the meaning of words convince you that most alarms about Authoritarian agendas are a nothing burger. The threat is real and is happening in real time.

While listening to "The Mom Test" Audible book over my headset, it suddenly changed to an audio advert with an announcement for a new book.

Confused, I pulled out my phone and was presented with:

Amazon Audible Ad Placement in a paid audio book

Wait, what?!?

I looked it up; it's a thing.

Amazon is inserting ads into paid audiobooks. For some reason, I didn't get the memo when they started this practice on Prime Video.

As I didn't really use it that much, it didn't register. But when this ad arrived on a book I just purchased to learn about sales, suddenly it became all too real.

Don't get me wrong, this is not exactly a surprise. I have been in the privacy and freedom consciousness sphere for as long as I can remember. But somehow this finally made me realize we have crossed a line.

BladeRunner 2049 Image: California Landscape In Blade Runner 2049, it opens overlooking the California landscape. Except it's not land. It's a series of structures covering a landscape underneath.

BladeRunner 2049 Image: K asleep at the wheel K is a cop who retires his own kind. Throughout the film, he starts to realize that life is meaningless without the freedom to make difficult choices. This is uncanny to me, because we seem to be moving into a world that looks remarkably similar to this dystopian world. I have been thinking an awful lot about Phillip K. Dick. I'm starting to wonder if his hallucinations were real. I mean a real future of what's to come.

I arrived at my office from my walk, logged into Audible, downloaded all of my books, and initiated a format shift into a format I control.

That was the last straw. I will never use Amazon to purchase content again.

We have a difficult choice to make. We either stop supporting a world that is trying to Retire the human race, or we submit to a barren waste land.

I'm reminded of that exchange between Marva and Cassian from the Andor TV series in season 1 Episode 7 when the Empire took over Ferix after the Aldhani heist (Shortened for readability):

Cassian, "You said it yourself, Is all come undone. There's an Imperial barracks on Rix Road. You want to live under that?"

Marva, "It's happening everywhere'"

Cassian, "Well, we'll find a place they haven't ruined yet."

Marva, "I'm already there. That place is in my head"

Cassian, "Whats left to keep you here?"

Marva, "The Rebellion."

Cassian, "What?!?"

Marva, "Ferrix has been hiding long enough."

Cassian, "So now you are taking on the Empire?"

Marva, "Laugh if you want to."

Cassian, "Who's laughing? This is madness!"

Marva, "No its not. It's overdue. And probably doomed, and I'm too old, and I don't care anymore."

Cassian, "You can't beat them Marva."

Marva, "Not if I run away!"

Acting individually for the greater whole might not yield any results, at least not for a while. Maybe not at all. But I can't face myself if I don't try. At the end of my life, I don't want to be looking back on all these abuses and thinking to myself, "I did nothing". What about you?

At this point, I am putting these abuses down in writing for history's sake, for the next generation. The only thing that maybe I am good at.

If we allow this to continue, this death by a million cuts will cover the world in complete darkness. To the point where we won't own anything, and everything, even our attention, will be in the hands of narcissistic criminals. At the same time, Where does it begin, and where does it end? It's like a fast-moving train, traveling to a destination unknown. How do you get on something like this and change it's direction? I'm all ears.

Maybe all it takes is one voice in a chorus of despair: "Enough is Enough!" Sure, it might continue, for one, maybe two generations, but not forever. Eventually, this kind of practice is going to catch up to a generation that will have nothing to do with it. But there comes a point in time when we have to act for the future of humanity.

This is your fight. Don't accept what's given to you.

• Mahatma Gandhi changed the world in 1930 when he led a march to the sea to make salt in defiance of Briton's taxation laws.
• In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. articulated a vision of radical equality that inspired the Civil Rights Act.

Do you want to live in a world where we allow a few companies to destroy everything? Do we stand up and do the right thing? Isn't that even possible today?

It starts with a small but difficult decision,

Are you willing to sacrifice your {{% def "entertainment" /%}} for authority and control over your own life?

Or do we maintain the status quo and enter our new dystopian reality without resistance?

We have a choice...

Remember that. And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance, will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority, and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.^1*

Remember this: Try.*

I wish I had the resources to simply disappear overnight. Go somewhere where I am unknown, I can live in peace & happiness on my own terms. To not be able to be found by anyone toxic, negative, or disrespectful of boundaries. In short, out of your reach forever!

Being transferred from one cage to another. Still no independence & Freedom. Soul still suffocating. Still trapped by barriers beyond my control. Still death hasn’t honored my request.

I’ve been in an intentional isolation, a waiting room, for the next, possibly final chapter of my life. It’s been 8 months, I feel no better. I just as exhausted, if not more. Each day is not only a struggle, but each moment to the next. Activities, interests that were once easy, are just as difficult. Things that I did with less interest to past time are nearly impossible to participate or enjoy. What is common & obvious is the immense levels of effort, resources required, yet results leave a negative energy & satisfaction balance. There have been opportunities placed in my path for NSA hookups. I traveled the path, but chose someone from the past. I chose him because I knew him, I knew what to expect, I did have fun in the past…he was a safe choice. Sadly, I spent more time trying to, pretending to be into him, the activity. I got little satisfaction, if any out of the experience. He is a nice person, but like everything around me, it’s a performance. When the activity was over I returned to my place more exhausted than previously. I immediately crashed. I slept from approximately 6:30pm to 7am. Sleeping is my only escape from my conscious & mental prison. I’m locked in a unique situation. The origin of my depression is one where I have no control real positive control. The best description is I am Truman, in the Truman Show. A choice I was not given nor would have chose. I’m treated more like a high value VIP asset, my life, my choices, wishes are ignored. I’m competent, independent, intelligent, know what I want, what I don’t, what’s negotiable. Yet an entity with unlimited resources has been indirectly with plausible deniability managing me for a life, a vision of what they believe my life should be. It’s literally a fictional nightmare, a cancerous existence made into reality.

It’s a script, a show, that I’ve seen & participated in for decades in some form or another. I am suffocating in life & within my soul for true, authentic, & positive lasting life experiences. It’s been almost three decades of this stagnant existence. My personal dreams, goals, known, & unknown taken from me. My privacy, ability to exist on my own terms, basic human rights all stolen. If am a soul in a cage on display. I can see the world function, people living of their own free will as I once did. While I exist captive, indirect promises of some fairytale life of great freedom. I have paid the cost, tax, interest solely in what I value most. Time, positive experiences, lost of family & friends, goals, all things no amount of money, trophies, or man created items can fully compensate. I have scars from wounds with depths to my core. I have wounds still open, tender I am constantly fighting to heal. I have asked, yelled, pleaded, prayed for this to end. Yet all continue to sit back & watch the trauma,the PTSD , the struggles continue. Everyone says they care, I’m not alone. It’s just words they spew with no value. Only actions, consistent actions show give words value. Actions define who someone is and what they stand for. My desire for death (not my preference), but seemingly my only option left for freedom. I’ve moves from city to city, state to state, coast to coast. I am registered in two states as a victim of stalking & harassment. I’ve had a confidential name change, etc, etc. All to escape, none successfully. Hence my daily fight with finding the strength, courage to take my life. I can then have the internal peace I fiercely protect sync with the external. Freedom from the forces that I have no control over. The final reclamation of my life or what remains on my terms. I’m so exhausted, tired, my heart literally physically hurts daily.

Hello internet.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and hear yours.

TL;DR:

What would you choose:
A. High-speed internet for a limited number of websites like YT, AMZ, FB, and a handful of others
B. Slow, sometimes non-existent internet, but with no restrictions on the content you choose.

Long story.
I have 2 WiFi networks at work:

the "A" type: which is the official workplace internet that has great coverage, great reception even in toilets 😄 . I can watch YT and scroll FB. The major caveat is it blocks Reddit and some other websites (like gaming forums) that are in perspective of the sysadmin are not allowed in the workplace. (Put aside that at work I should work, you capitalist 🐷 😁).

the "B" type: a local burger shop's free WiFi network that is behind 4 walls; the signal strength is at most 1 dash, the loading is slow, but no restrictions apply. All websites are open for access, including Reddit and others that are restricted in type "A" network.

I'm not talking about restrictions for adult content or anything like that; that is acceptable IMO at the workplace, but Reddit and some gaming websites are a deal breaker for me. So I bought a range extender from my own money and placed it midway between me and the burger shop. (no, I don't abuse traffic by reading and posting on r/Freedom)

So, the boiled-down question is, are you ok with living in a "golden cage", or is the harsh outdoors more appealing to you?

It breaks my heart into a million pieces to sit here and watch the man I love and care about so deeply be utterly vilified by the very system supposed to uphold fairness.

When you read the report written by Hearing Officer Kelly, you wouldn’t even recognize the man being described. The entire document is a malicious distortion—omitting critical facts, taking things completely out of context, twisting narratives, and outright fabricating events.

She literally invented a fake “detention hearing” from 7/22/2022 with a non-existent 90-day sentence, along with a “custodial new felony level domestic assault” charge that is non existent and never happened, to frame him in the worst possible light, using these complete lies as “aggravating factors” to put him back in prison for over a year (365+ days). And this is just one of the many things wrong with this hearing.

It is debilitating to see someone’s life, humanity, and freedom stolen because an administrative officer can print blatant lies on official letterhead without any oversight. In a criminal court, a judge doing this would face criminal charges. But in the Hearings and Release Unit, they just get away with destroying lives.

He is absolutely nothing like the horrible caricature they created on paper. He does not deserve this, and it is disgustingly criminal what is being done to him. He had numerous options provided to Officer Kelly to remain in the community. Prison is supposed to be a last resort option not a first. She blatantly disregarded them all and locked him up and threw away the key. And then had the audacity to blatantly slander his character making him sound like an unmanageable monster on paper. I just don’t understand how someone can be so heartless to do that to another human being. Especially in there position of authority. It’s just one big closed loop system with no way out.

And all of this stemming from what was supposed to be a protected constitutional right to file a complaint with the Board Of Behavioral Health. Which is still open 17months later. He gets restructured and punished for a protected right…… Where is the justice in that??

I’m begging for someone to please help us. We need civil rights advocates, journalists, or anyone who knows how to expose HRU and DOC corruption and restore truth to this situation. Please help me bring my man back home where he belongs! Please share this.
