Do Big Tech Companies Already Alter What's Written?

Ways to Backup Data

Some weeks ago I was packing up our bags for our planned trip when the laminated copy of my original hospital issued birth certificate from 1979 fell out of some stack of paperwork. My father had given it to me when the US Embassy had requested it 10 years ago with the admonition to guard it with my life. I hadn’t so much as glanced at it in at least 10 years.

My time of birth on that original document is listed as 5:26 PM. This was really odd to me because I had written in several parts of my autobiographical work that I was born at 7:20 PM. This slight two hour time difference probably seems insignificant, but I’m sure that it is not a mistake that I made at the time I first wrote those old scribblings. I say that because I looked up my birth chart 10 years ago around the time I found out my now husband’s birth, as I was curious about it. I absolutely remember the song lyrics which went through my head immediately": “Pisces Virgo rising is a very good sign” Danny’s song was an old favorite of mine:

Several months ago I looked up my natal chart again following a conversation the German monk had with me regarding north and south nodes and plugged in my presumed 7:20 PM birth. My South node is in Pisces while my north node is in Virgo, but I scratched my head at seeing that my rising sign was listed as in Libra, not Virgo. Ascendants change every two hours or so.

This is one of two data points in my writing which I am absolutely 100% sure that I originally wrote down correctly but which were altered at some point remotely. Does the AI have the capacity to do that? Considering I allowed a Microsoft technician to remotely access my computer to help me fix something, the capability certainly exists. He could in theory have clicked on any of my documents and typed in whatever he wanted to. How long has this technology existed for? Could this be used to further muddy the waters and create confusion and divide?

As the big tech dystopia descends upon us what can we do to safeguard our content against it? I always take the mantra of diversity is strength in tech, though it can become a confusing mess when files get spread all over the place. And write down your password somewhere!

How to “Opt-Out” from the Big Tech Social Credit System

I thought these two pieces of advice were very pertinent:

1. Ditch any cloud storage solution without zero-knowledge encryption – Sorry Google Drive, Microsoft cloud storage, Amazon Drive, and Apple iCloud, but you don’t make the privacy cut. These services still allow Big Tech to look at and audit your content. Instead, opt for a service that has zero-knowledge encryption in which the company cannot look at your content. There are numerous providers listed in this article, but some examples are Sync, Icedrive, and Tresorit.

2. Ditch non-secure photo-sharing services and opt for one with privacy built-in – Using Google Photos, Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, and the cadre of mainstream photo-sharing services exposes you to Big Tech holding your photos hostage. Instead, use a photo-sharing service that emphasizes privacy, like Smugmug or Cryptee.

I don’t entirely trust anything which is on the Internet to be secure: browsers, email services and social media all can change hands and go through purges. That said some are becoming obsolete because, much like ChatGPT on OpenAI, so much content has already been censored and steered towards approved narratives that there’s no truth to be found on them. I will be testing out some different browsers as I have a lot of web searches to do which google is incapable of doing. I still use all of the big tech behemoths, but I use all of them alongside the alternatives. Sometimes I like using them just to know what narrative they are pushing!

Progress on my husband’s visa has slowed to a crawl: we’ve been waiting on a document from Phuket Town for well over a week. We went there today and they said they’d call us next week when they find it in their records section. This visa class is not going to work for me, or it won’t without a lawyer or somebody who drasticaally speeds things up. There’s still a covid vaccine mandate, but beyond that I feel like I have a bunch of bureaucratic midwits who can delay, deny, dead until the cows come home. At this point I halfway feel like their promises of how fast everything was going to be after the interview was done just to push getting my husband injected!

Or perhaps now that I’ve been outed as an antivaxxer they are reinterpreting things as a type of punishment? I have no doubt that they have ways of keeping everything in limbo indefinitely. It’s been four years on making my husband a visa to come to America with me. What’s another eight?

I think most people who took the jabs and did “the right thing” feel inherently threatened by those that did not. But those walls are closing around us all sooner rather than later if we don’t all stand together. The criminals need to be held to account, not the guy who took a few jabs to keep his job or because he wanted to go back to normal.

I enjoyed this letter from a former normie. Are even the Covid jabbed beginning to wake up?

The Normie Report

“When there is a plethora of lies and evil, like there is/was, there are swarms of conversations that create a sickly mess that is confusing and overwhelming to filter through. This report is difficult to write, but I am trying to put it into as simple of terms as possible. I am walking away from my computer now to bow my head…say a prayer to God and I hope that I am empowered to say this as best I can… for you…

I remember when the advertising was ‘you have to get the injection to protect grandma’ and I remember thinking what sort of evil scum wouldn’t want to protect their elderly loved ones? I sort of despised people in 2021, the anti-vaxxers, who were somehow quite happy not to care about the elderly and just get a damn jab. How hard can it be! I don’t think about it like that today, no. Just the other day we were all reading about how the European Medical Association (EMA) admits that, in print, as do other gov’t regulatory groups, the mRNA injections do not stop transmission, and they never could. They knew this at the time of the injection rollout, as did thousands of the ‘silenced doctors’. Why isn’t it in the news?

I remember when the actual government mandates were 'get the injection and stop the spread in your community...... OR..... lose your job'. Thousands of people who resisted the injections lost their job. I know a teacher, a nurse and an ambulance driver who lost their job. The nurse was the most alarming to me. I remember her saying something like ‘I have seen people we have injected with the vaccine come back the same day looking really unwell, there is no way I am getting it.’ At the time I just couldn’t believe a story like hers was not on ‘the news’ and if it wasn’t on ‘the news’ then it must be wrong…

I think most of us, by now, know that millions of people were removed from social media platforms. Most of us know that the technology companies are pretty awful, unethical, mine our data, sell our data, create addictive platforms, promote division, addiction and that causes mental problems like anxiety and depression in many people.

Normal people are wilfully ignorant, or in denial. I was one of them. How did I get away from that? It is a question I ask myself often. I think it is some sort of a spiritual awakening, a collective in society, an uprising and I am very grateful to now feel part of that. I want to use it to help rebuild and heal society and I am sure many others feel the same way.

The masks don’t work..... Yeah, I used to wear mine everywhere! You do some research into it and realise that, yes, the doctors had studied this for decades. They, top shelf respiratory illness scientists and virologists were pointing to the data from decades of studies....that masks don’t work to stop transmission of airborne diseases. The doctors who were saying that in 2020/21 were shot down in the media and de-platformed off social media. Yet they were telling the truth.

Sadly, there are hundreds of topics in this quagmire of lies, that it is too thick and too boggy to know where to begin in the long journey to justice in what many are calling ‘the greatest crime ever committed.’”

It is quite the quagmire. It’s good if one by one people are waking up. Losing trust in these institutions is at least half of the battle.

Have you ever felt that something you wrote or messaged to somebody online was altered?
