Once People See the Cage, They’ll Stop Mistaking It for Safety

How to Break Free from Tracking and Take Back Your Digital Freedom

Digital IDs: While convenient, government-issued Digital IDs must be scrutinized for their architecture. If they centralize too much data, they create a single point of failure and a powerful tool for monitoring citizens’ activities. Remember, if it’s digital it can and will be hacked.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): A CBDC could potentially program money, allowing a central authority to track, control, or even place expiration dates on your funds. The shift from anonymous cash to fully traceable digital currency is a massive concern for financial freedom.

This is guest post by NBTV community member Incognito Cat.

The internet promised us a borderless world of connection, but what it often delivers is surveillance. This isn’t a future threat, it’s the present reality. Governments and Big Tech are building a digital cage, luring us in with convenience while tightening the bars of control.

Every click, post, photo, search, and setting on our devices is designed to treat your personal life not as private, but as a resource to be harvested.

The good news is, you can leave the cage. Digital privacy isn’t about being paranoid; it’s about being sovereign. Control over your data is fundamental to a free life, and thanks to the growing number of easy-to-use, privacy-preserving tools like the ones in our Toolbox, there has never been a better time to choose that freedom.

Here is a practical, step-by-step framework for reclaiming your privacy and securing your digital existence.

1. Break Free: Embracing Privacy-Preserving Alternatives

Most people use the software that comes pre-installed on their computers and phones simply because it’s the default. Yet, these defaults are often the very mechanisms designed to maximize data collection.

The Action: Don’t just accept the software giants’ offerings. Seek out alternatives built with privacy as a foundational principle.

  • Browsers: Move from data-hungry browsers to options like Brave or Mullvad, which block trackers by default.
  • Search Engines: Ditch Google search for Brave Search or StartPage, which do not track your search history.
  • Email: Use end-to-end encrypted services like Proton Mail or Tuta Mail instead of standard free services.
  • Operating Systems: Investigate Linux distributions for desktops and more privacy-focused alternatives, like GrapheneOS, for mobile devices to minimize telemetry and data collection from the core operating system itself.

2. The Future of Security: Embracing Passkeys

For years, passwords have been the weakest link in digital security. They are susceptible to phishing, weak guessing, and data breaches. Passkeys, developed by the FIDO Alliance are the modern, phishing-resistant solution.

The Action: Where available, move to Passkeys immediately.

A Passkey is a digital credential stored securely on your device (like your phone or computer) and uses biometric verification (fingerprint, face scan) to log you in. They are based on cryptographic public-key technology, making them virtually immune to the common attacks that plague traditional passwords. They are more secure and significantly more convenient. Learn more about them here.

3. Foundational Defense: Passwords, Managers, and MFA

While more services are moving to support Passkeys, they are not yet universal. For every service that hasn’t made the switch, you need an impenetrable defense.

The Action: Establish an unshakeable security foundation:

Now He Tells Us: Bill Gates Backflips and Says ‘Climate Change’ No Threat to Humanity After All

Posted by M. C. on October 28, 2025

“Gates now thinks scientific innovation will curb any threats — real and perceived — to the planet’s climate and it’s instead time for a “strategic pivot” away from focusing on limiting rising temperatures to fighting poverty and preventing disease.”

To paraphrase Willie Sutton – disease is where the money is.

The science is settled…again.

Why are people panicking about the weather? Climate doomer Bill Gates thinks everyone should just calm down. He believes “climate change” is a serious problem but it won’t be the end of humanity as we know it, a 17-page memo released Tuesday by the billionaire reveals.

Gates now thinks scientific innovation will curb any threats — real and perceived — to the planet’s climate and it’s instead time for a “strategic pivot” away from focusing on limiting rising temperatures to fighting poverty and preventing disease.

The 70-year-old said in the memo the world’s primary goal should now work to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions in the world’s poorest countries.

AP reports if given a choice between eradicating malaria and a tenth of a degree increase in warming, Gates told reporters, “I’ll let the temperature go up 0.1 degree to get rid of malaria. People don’t understand the suffering that exists today.”

The Microsoft co-founder wrote his 17-page memo – as seen by AP – hoping to have an impact on next month’s U.N. climate change conference in Brazil.

He’s urging world leaders to ask whether the little money designated for climate is being spent on the “right things,” AP notes, in an apparent back flip from all his past warnings on the future of the planet.

“Experts” Don’t Know How Ignorant They Are

Posted by M. C. on October 25, 2025

“They somehow managed to persuade themselves that computer models constitute data.

“That very complicated guesses become facts. They made themselves believe they had the power to accurately model…something as inconceivable complex as…a national economy, a weather system.

Mises WireGary Galles

Ever since I was young, I have enjoyed reading science fiction. Some of its attraction is the escapism it offers, but also the artistry of those who can envision a world where some things are very different but which seem to make enough internal sense to suspend disbelief and care about the characters. It also sometimes connects to or echoes recent “real world” circumstances (see my “The Road Back from Interstellar Serfdom,” for example). Another example involves the novel Variable Star (2006) by Robert Heinlein and Spider Robinson.

After previous enjoyment of Robert Heinlein’s work, another work—compiled after Heinlein was dead—caught my attention. It had come from incomplete notes for a book that were found in Heinlein’s papers, which his estate commissioned Spider Robinson to complete and turn into a book. A certain passage (pp. 194-195) seems to describe a good deal of the green movement in recent years. And, just as in the situation in the book, it can lead to results far better to avoid than to experience:

The characteristic flaw…[was] the assumption of vastly more knowledge than they actually possessed… Over and over…they developed the imbecilic idea that they understood nearly everything.

[Unfortunately] the explanations kept falling apart at the first hard-data-push…yet they were solemnly convinced they basically understood the universe, except for some details out in the tenth decimal place.

They somehow managed to persuade themselves that computer models constitute data.

That very complicated guesses become facts. They made themselves believe they had the power to accurately model…something as inconceivable complex as…a national economy, a weather system.

They made solemn announcements…on the basis of computer models which they had produced…[but] they had no faintest clue how ignorant they were. (emphasis added)

Scientists were claiming godlike knowledge and couldn’t deliver. The disaster those errors led to in the book reminded me of the importance of correcting such missteps before disasters strike. It also reminded me of the extensive work The Heartland Institute has done in rebutting many fallacies, flaws, and misinterpretations that have been visited on the public by those promoting the green agenda.

Heartland’s contributions to straightening out the many things that have been twisted in environmental discussions are far beyond the scope of this short article, but one can get a very good idea of their extent from merely scanning the titles of their Climate Change Weekly (CCW) articles. It is worth reading the articles because, as in Variable Star, being wrong in this area can have very severe consequences. To avoid such harms, we must remember the well-worn adage that in making policy, “good intentions do not guarantee good results,” because false premises and faulty logic can often undermine—and even override—desired results.

Consider just the following titles from some CCW articles from roughly a year. It is far from complete, but it strongly reflects Variable Star’s conclusion that “they had no faintest clue how ignorant they were”:

Should PSU Receive More Taxpayer Funding?

Posted by M. C. on October 16, 2025

From my state rep Brad Roae

Is PSU run by it’s own grads?

https://reproae.com/Form/SPSURMTFBR10142025?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2freproae.com%2fForm%2fSPSURMTFBR10142025&utm_campaign=+Should+PSU+Receive+More+Taxpayer+Funding%3f

As the General Assembly continues work on the 2025-26 state budget, should we increase taxpayer funding for Penn State?

The Penn State Board of Trustees recently voted to give the president a $450,000 raise this year, which will increase her pay from $950,000 to $1.4 million a year. It also agreed to give her a 3.5% raise every year until 2032.

Then, this past weekend, Penn State fired the head football coach, but he is getting almost $50 million on the way out due to his irresponsible contract that apparently pays the same for good and bad performance. This golden parachute could be reduced if he gets a new job. On a related note, PSU recently decided to close several branch campuses stating if it didn’t the university would have to come up with the $50 million those campuses lose each year.

In addition, Penn State is currently spending $700 million to renovate its football stadium.

Penn State tells us every year that it is financially struggling and needs an increase in state funding.

Should we help PSU pay for all of this by increasing the amount of taxpayer funding it gets?

Weekly Report: The Nobel (War Is) Peace Prize

Posted by M. C. on October 14, 2025

When it comes to destroying your brand, Norwegian Nobel Committee is the Bud Lite of peace prizes. After all, back in 2009 they gave the Peace Prize to a President Barack Obama who then went on to bomb at least seven countries, set the Middle East on fire, and even conducted drone strikes on American citizens!

New CBS owner David Ellison met with top Israeli general in scheme to spy on Americans

by Wyatt Reed, Max Blumenthal

The new owner of Paramount, David Ellison, participated in an Israeli government-led plot to surveil and suppress pro-Palestine activists in the US, leaked emails show. Originally dubbed “12 Tribes,” a reference to the dozen Jewish billionaires solicited to underwrite the operation, the scheme sought out American faces to fund surveillance firms run by Israeli intelligence veterans on behalf of Tel Aviv, as it targeted American citizens participating in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
