yes been targeted for over a decade- my family broken up, financially ruined, lost all of my "friends", frozen out of getting work in a field I was a recognized appreciated talent and valued contributor in, credit totally ruined, massive debts that cannot be reconciled, most recently paypal randomly charged my account back 4,500.00 because I had sold some artwork to a dealer who them claimed he never got it and Paypal accepted his claim even though I produced receipts proving the dealer got the artwork and emails where the dealer acknowledged getting artwork, as well as emails where the dealer was threatening me if I did not send him additional artwork that he was interested in he would send back the artwork and charge me back for the whole thing. Point is it is blatantly illegal outrageous scam behaviour and Paypal was aware of this and acknowledged it in correspondence with me and yet they honored the "dealer" claim and debited my account the entire amount, ruining my credit even further and putting me underwater to Paypal 4500 dollars. If I had not been already awake to this being part of an overall campaign against me I would probably have lost my mind trying to fight this absurd robbery but instead thanks to my increasing resiliency and spiritual resolve I know it is best for me to pivot onto focusing on other things. And I am stronger for it, far stronger. We are all being tempered and tested in the fires of ongoing war. Let us grow strong together- sharing our discoveries, our thoughts and our resolve. Fuck them.

I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. Financial ruin by purported buyers or subscribers are especially problematic as their claims seem to be automatically believed (unless you're me and you're going up against google Play, in which case I obviously got the services). There seems to be very little recourse I've been on a slow moving nightmare of drawn out and cancelled visas and financial desperation. The solace is finding like minded strangers and spiritual growth. We may have to build a new world on the ashes of these ruins...blessings

PayPal boned the hell out of me for $860 from selling stuff on eBay. They simply shut down my sales after they ended and kept the money that the buyers were sending me. No reason given!! What they told me is that I could write a letter to their legal department and I might get a response some day. Fuck PayPal and fuck eBay. Never again

tx Phar! Paypal is total scum, in the long run they did me a favor. I at least knew enough not to connect my bank account to them. And to anyone using Paypal - please, consider getting off the platform - first, BEFORE you notify them of any changes --- get all your money out (duh:) , but leave maybe 10 dollars in -so they don't notice any zero balance etc

Then -- change ALL your basic info - bit by bit- over a few weeks - modify your billing address, your credit card numbers for other cards, your bank account numbers - you dont have to change the main numbers, just change the exp date and approval code etc etc - basically you want to completely alter your trail so when you leave they have no usable information in the database

then tell Paypal to FUCK OFF - from me :) haha

Why yes, I have had similar experiences:

"Sorry to do this, but I'm actually going to have to rescind my offer to kick off our interview process. There's no doubt you're a strong engineer, but I just took a few moments to peruse through your patrick.net site and I'm afraid some of the views and opinions you've expressed are in contradiction to our company's core values."

Such discrimination on the basis of political views has happened to me many times, only this Jesse Pedersen jesse@buildingconnected.com was dumb enough to say it out loud, so I notified the VC funding his company and they said they'd have a chat with him.

I suppose his honesty is to be appreciated but I'm sure they know that if the political winds shift they could see blowback for those corporate policies. I'm starting to take it as a mark of self worth that my humble substack might be the cause of these difficulties. It means they might be past ignoring me and just having my books languish in obscurity with 0 sales!

I ponder your question a lot jacquelyn sauriol. I feel I'm on a journey set out for me by God. I determined years and years ago that I cannot work any job which is morally incongruent with my values. This includes misrepresenting myself (eg lying). I think life is an adventure and I treat each day as such. My interactions with others and what is going on in my life are my news channel. I think the path forward is to double down on creative pursuits. I have no problem with the free market if there was such a thing. ;-)

Im in a cold place and far from the madness of lower America. Sort of safe for now but I know two of us who would have been destroyed by the DC Death Star because we nearly flew to that Evil Slum to protest on Jan 6. We live too close to the earth, financially, to have survived the onslaught of lawfare that rained down on so many. I am aware that my vocal protestations must have me on a list and like any mortal, they can look at this man and they can show the crime. Every free individual lives in a glass house/cage in this growing police state.

Charles Summers I do not intend to be throwing shade at you in particular- I do agree with you that social credit scoring is their big move - but please allow me to respond to the other point in your post with an overall concern I want to share. Let's be a little more cautious so as to avoid unkowingly spreading the enemy's fake psyop scary ghost stories for them.

I've said this before but I think it's important to repeat it as often as we can - because I believe we hold MUCH MORE potential to change everything than we all realize. The reality is the enemy is TERRIFIED of the general US population. That is the secret of their Obama "end of the world" predictive wish programming movies, or germ movies like Contagion, or robot apocolypse movies all the way back to the 2001 or the terminator franchise, robocop, all of them - all of them. The millions of tic tok videos predicting the end of the world, the breakdoown of humanity, zombie apocolypse franchise, the endless superhero movies with fantasy comic book heroes for children saving everyone. Why are they doing this? Why so much focus on the gloom and doom ? It is not an accident. They want us despondent, divided, alone and SCARED. They have been and are spending an ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY AND ATTENTION on the US population - working tirelessly in every facet of social media and entertainment , creating endless absurd false flag shooting events, as well as traditional "media as well as educational "institutions" etc to try to persuade the population to GIVE UP OUR GUNS. And so far their efforts have failed, as US continues to be the #1 gun ownership per capita in the world by a huge margin. The problem for the enemy that wants us all dead is a well armed civilian population cannot be easily controlled. A well armed AMERICAN population of individuals are EVEN MORE CHALLENGING to try to control. So no, the enemy knows they cannot even bring in a million conscripts and be confident they would win out against us. Not a fucking chance in Hell are a bunch of foreign mercenaries going to crush an American population on their HOME SOIL - outnumbered by a righteously angry ARMED civilian population. They will kill a lot of us, but it will cost them, and they will be done in by attrition before we even get started. The enemy knows everything I am saying is an accurate concern. We rise, they are going to lose. And they know it. BASED ON THE ENEMY's OWN PUBLISHED ESTIMATES - there are a minimum of 35+ MILLION Americans who refused even ONE jab. Think about the resolve it takes- the cost to one's life and livelyhood to stand against the jabs- that this represents. There are a MINIMUM of 35 M I L L I O N AMERICANS who had the fortitude to stand up and say NO. According to the ENEMY'S own statistics, chances are good at MINIMUM - 50% of those Americans who said fuck you to the jabs are ARMED. Yes that's right. And you can bet the enemy has done the math on this and run their war scenarios and pre-crime algos every which way from Sunday- and I guarantee you they have realized that a minimum of TEN MILLION PISSED OFF AND FULLY ARMED AMERICANS WHO ALREADY HAVE LOST EVERYTHING TO STAND UP AND SAY FUCK OFF WE ARE NOT TAKING YOUR STINKING BIOJAB! ARE NOT GOING QUIETLY TO THE CAMPS. The enemy is ruefully clever, endlessly patient and absolutely ruthless. But they aren't stupid. And they are total cowards, they would never risk a fight they might actually lose. And taking us on, you can guarantee THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

Non-compliant armed Americans will not be going quietly.

So everyone please try to think more deeply before helping the enemy spread their bullshit lies.

They will try to scare us, starve us, poison us, they will try everything to try to get us to kill each other. But mark my words- they will not dare attack us openly.

I can’t argue with anything you said. My hunch is that they flagged Amy because she says things that hurt their feelings. We’re mostly all saying things that hurt their feelings but Amy is a bonafide author. I’m just a bystander who comes out to hurl feces once in a while and goes back in my cage to fill my hand again. I keep calm because I know what I’m going to do if and when they come down my driveway.

#lestweforget the Freedom Convoy...frozen bank accounts and still this.... two years later..... Not Good News for the Lich-Barber Trial, the Coutts Four or Others Charged in Freedom Convoy

Clearly the Crown’s prosecuting Freedom Convoy defendants are under orders to employ lawfare to crush these people

"But this is the new method of punishment for those Freedom Convoy protesters who chose to challenge the Trudeau government – Lawfare. If they can’t convict them, or send them to jail — and even if they can — on top of that they can wear them down mentally, emotionally, physically and financially, because eventually their cash wells will run dry and they will be financially destroyed. As they say – the process is the punishment."

I am experiencing something similar in the medical field. A month ago kicked out of the Ortho Med. Group building for good and a week ago kicked out of the hospital building before I ever saw the Ortho doctor. Kicked out over arguments during check-in. Imagine what it will be like when we are all forced to use CBDCs.

Rejected by this corporatised, homogenised, digitised, fiscalised, cowardly society is indeed a badge of honour. It might be annoying because one still needs to interface with the machine but the rejection is a sign of your most excellent character.

The ‘person’ you were talking to at EBay was likely an AI Bot...just from the tone of ‘his responses’. I dealt with a similar situation on Amazon in an online ‘chat’ with a ‘mystery person’ Mounia, regarding a book I’ve returned twice (the same book) and both times requested to be credited back into my original form of payment, but the algorithmic methods of Amazon kept saying I requested a replacement, which I did not. I was assured by Mounia that it will go back to the original payment method. We shall see.

A while back I was on Tinder and Hinge. As a 55 year old man, my experience was not great, and I was frustrated that 99% of the hello messages I sent never got a reply. One night I deleted my accounts (which they say you can do at any time) even though I still had a paid membership. So basically I let them have my money without ever using the remaining service. Shortly after that, I decided to sign back up since I don't interact with many people over the course of a day, and was hoping to meet someone. None of my pictures are out of line, my profile was very straightforward, and I never had a negative interaction with anyone. Hell, I hardly had ANY interactions!

After having my account up for less than 24 hours, in the morning when I opened Tinder, my account was deleted. When I tried to open Hinge, it was also deleted. My experience with customer service was identical to the experience you had with eBay. A couple of months later I tried to sign up for Plenty of Fish, and could not register. I was told my access was blocked for "the safety of the community." What? Recently I tried to sign up at Match and it was the same thing. It turns out all of those apps are owned by the same company, and I have been blacklisted. When I explained I was never in violation, never received a warning, and never had any negative interactions with anyone, I got the same answer that my account was blocked for the safety of their community.

In some ways, I am fine with not having access to online dating because it is a frustrating dead-end street. In others, I feel like I have been cutoff from society. I don't watch TV or sports, and already feel like I don't have anything in common with many people, but to not even have the opportunity to potentially meet someone to spend time with feels humiliating.

It's possible that this stems back from me having an old ebay account which I haven't used in years. Maybe they found that suspicious somehow (I suppose I put in my SS for payment info). Then again I had an ebay account like 20 years ago which was tied to an email address (genevieve318@yahoo.com) that I still have access to. I should see if I have a way to log into that one...

Yes indeed. My husband and I are effed with all the time. One example is small items shipped via USPS that mysteriously disappear. We currently use American Express Blue Card (no annual fee). They handle our disputes when we get nowhere with retailers. We also freeze our credit so no one can “steal” our credit or use our credit. We basically don’t apply for new credit as we are not in credit debt with credit cards. On another note have you tried Etsy as a way to sell? I’ve bought items from sellers a few times. Not sure how they work for folks selling their goods 🙏🏻💯♥️

Stay strong and never give up!
