I’m going to be keeping my phone till I decide what I’m going do with it - I have already turned off tracking parts of the phone according to a list someone had I’m keeping my main phone -even in my home- in a Simket Faraday bag. One of the two best ones tested for blocking all people trying to get into it or read what’s in it or GPS, etc. the other one is Mission darkness faraday bag. It’s larger just a little more expensive and will hold more devices and things.
Yeah, I would just leave my phone at home and maybe get a burner phone because I would be in the city farther from home, I want to be able to communicate. Have to then have all needed phone numbers written down. There’s a bunch of legal numbers I’m going to write on my body. Isn’t this insane? I’m a Caucasian legal American senior citizen. Concerned to go to massive protests anymore in Chicago. I bought a gas mask and goggles to keep in my backpack just in case. For no reason -ICE has been throwing year gas canisters into peaceful protesters. 😡This 10/18 one, I think I’m gonna be attending the local south suburban one in my community with two friends that are refusing to go into the city with me again…
I even bought a Simket faraday bag to keep my phone in at home and while in the car.
In my opinion, the best way is to embody and demonstrate that which you believe believe to be good and humane, to all who get to see your mode of living and behaviour.
EXACTLY- Peter Thiel is one of the creepiest ones. Leonard Leo. Scott Bessent, Stephen nazi Miller, Russell f-ing Vought of Project 2025, Musk, Curtis Yarvin, Ellison, too many to name, but these are the ones running a lot of the government and Trump is a puppet. They just let him do some stupid things that he gets in his head he wants to do -like tariffs -if it helps them tear down the economy they’re all for it.
I would like to drop some information with you guys that five years ago I wouldn’t even have given five seconds to. As a card-carrying, university, educated liberal, I had no use for right wingers like Tucker Carlson, and really, Alex Jones was just a wing nut.
But since I woke up in 2020 and went down the rabbit hole about Covid and so many other things that didn’t add up, I realized there is a much larger agenda happening, that has been in the works for decades, and that I was being used— along with my feminist, gay and minority friends. We were actually furthering a very dark agenda— and had no idea.
Please look up the Podesta plan and Agenda 2030 (which has wonderful sounding words— and who doesn’t want to take care of the planet?) Also check out the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Listen to this broadcast with as much of an open mind as you can possibly muster (I’m not saying you’re going to agree with it. I’m just suggesting there’s important information there).
Also check out my whole sub stack account (and the original authors cited) for so much more proof.
PLEASE INVESTIGATE what we are being told because WE ARE BEING PLAYED.
The "Left" vs "Right" false dichotomy is a classic Thought-Terminating Cliche:
A thought-terminating cliché is a short, often simplistic phrase used to end a discussion, shut down critical thinking, and prevent further analysis of a complex issue.
Yes, if “us” is humanity and “them” is the globalist oligarchs who created the game and continue to (try to) hide behind the educational, cultural, media, political and medical structures they created to keep us indoctrinated and clueless—Along with the endless wars, illness, distraction and addiction, trauma, and ongoing psyops that are an integral part of the control grid.
Thank you Lori! Please correct me if I did not hear correctly, but on my iPhone pressing the side button 5 times will call emergency services. (Police, fire) One does have to set that up separately. Generally on all my most recent iPhones pressing and holding the side button plus one of the volume buttons, then sliding the bar that appears to ‘off’ shuts down the phone. Just do not want anyone to accidentally call to emergency services. I will stand corrected if I am misstating. Thanks.
Thank you for catching that error and alerting me to it, Janice. I had a marathon reading session to put this together, and must have jumbled my notes! I'll go in and correct it so others are not misled, and make sure nothing else has been misrepresented.
Thanks so much again for your kind and helpful input. 🙏🏼
As mentioned elsewhere: pressing the side power button quickly 5 times (at least on iOS) is a key tip: it instantly locks the phone and ensures that it can *only* be unlocked using your passcode (even if you still have Face ID enabled).
Your first amendment rights are being hollowed-out Kelly.
This protest is being framed as anti-American, against the backdrop of a Presidential Memorandum declaring an anti-American stance as domestic terrorism. You want to minimise all evidence that you have attended a protest as a protective measure against what may follow.
I’m conflicted about that because it IS my first amendment right and if they prosecute me for exercising it then that’s where we are. I guess we hide our phones to live to protest again- or are we being intimidated and silenced?
You won’t be prosecuted Kelly — that’s not how this works. Those who can be portrayed as anti-fascist, anti-American, anti-Capitalist (think calls to ‘boycott Amazon!’), anti- Christian (which means the far right brand), pro-diversity etc will be hit financially first. Your banks have already been instructed to prepare to freeze funds in a recent Presidential Memorandum.
So the danger is that you’re recognised as attending a ‘hate America’ protest, and your bank freezes your income. That’s what Trump is in the process of setting up the framework for, and that’s how he’ll silence protest — not through arrests. What I’m trying to help you do is minimise the intel that can be gathered for future targeting.
Can you provide a source regarding this memo your referencing that Trump has ordered banks to prepare to freeze funds? I can’t find anything about that pertaining to individual citizens.
It doesn’t pertain to individual citizens yet, but if Trump continues to follow the authoritarian playbook it undoubtedly will. And if we wait until it does, it will be too late for individual citizens to protect themselves.
I've been openly anti Trump since 2016 on Facebook under my real name. I've had a substantial online presence on Reddit for at least a year and a half. I'm here on SubStack. My IP address and identity are easily verifiable. I will not hide. I will not stop protesting. They know who and where I am, who my family is, what I own, what I watch on my TV, what I buy, where I am. They're watching and listening always and I see irrefutable evidence of that occasionally. I can't hide now and I don't want to. They might freeze my assets. They might come for me. I hope not but there's a possibility, maybe even a good one. For now, I live as freely as I can. Tomorrow, I can't foresee.
It doesn’t pertain to individual citizens yet, but if Trump continues to follow the authoritarian playbook it undoubtedly will. And if we wait until it does, it will be too late for individual citizens to protect themselves.
It's not a PM sent to banks, Mary. It's a PM tightening-up the definition of Antifa to include "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."
The Department of the Treasury is brought in to map and disrupt money flows. Two concrete changes follow. First, its Terrorism and Financial Intelligence arm coordinates with investigators to trace “illicit funding streams.” Second, banks and other financial institutions are told to heighten monitoring and file Suspicious Activity Reports when they spot patterns linked to political violence. Compliance teams will adjust their internal rules — expect tighter screening of accounts linked to protest-adjacent entities, quicker escalations, and more account reviews.
To be clear here, 'political violence' is narrative related, not necessarily related to action. The fact that so many people posted comments on this post to say that the right are all violent, means that Trump's narrative is sticking.
The Internal Revenue Service is asked to ensure tax-exempt organisations are not directly or indirectly financing political violence. That means audit selection, document requests, and referrals to the Justice Department where the IRS believes criminal conduct may be present. Charities and nonprofits working near contentious issues should anticipate scrutiny of grants, fiscal sponsorships, and donor flows.
In other authoritarian regimes, this framework, once built is used to target protest organisers and ultimately, to silence dissent.
You can also reference The Patriot Act that targeted Muslim charities, and Israel designating the Samud flotilla activists as terrorists because the were bring aid to Gaza.
The current administration is using language that rebrands protesters as terrorists. Our rights are being ignored and ICE has been routinely breaking laws including violating the constitution so it's only logical to assume that our rights won't be affirmed until we end up in court before a moral judge.
One only needs to be concerned if you plan to use violence. “Mostly peaceful “ seems to be violent. Starting cars and buildings on fire is not a peaceful protest. Neither is throwing bricks.
Both. I will not stay at home. I will protest but I have to do protection for myself as best I can. I bought a tear gas mask and goggles, first aid kit, taking a burner phone- because I may be in Chicago -though I think I’m gonna go to my local community one this time. Two of my marching lady friends are a little too concerned and scared to go into downtown Chicago this time… (We have illegal ICE and national guard, etc. in our Chicago streets right now - slimy Nazi Gestapo…..I have others I can take the train into downtown with, but I’d rather be with my friends locally…
Not really, Annalise. Please watch recent videos from Chicago. People peacefully protesting were shot with rubber bullets and pepper balls; some were seriously hurt, including a Presbyterian priest.
That’s not working with peaceful protests in Chicago. I normally march in Chicago. But I may be going to a local suburb in my community. They may also be putting instigators and agitators that are not peaceful protesters within these marches. Keep aware keep safe.
I think indivisible has a link to really good information for that. I can’t figure out how to -or where to find my link on some of that information. I think it’s in an email and I don’t know how to post an email here. If you google indivisible , protest, safety information you’ll probably find it. I also have like a photo saved -if I can post it here on basic rally tips, but not so much like safety how to handle potential issues.
What about putting your turned off phone in a faraday bag to keep in the glove box until returning home from the protest? That way you have a phone in case you need it but it's safe.
I was wondering the same thing but while we're on the subject I've seen some tests of faraday bags and not all are 100 percent effective. It would seem to be a quality and design issue.
The two best ones that were tested were SimKet faraday and Mission Darkness faraday. Look at the reviews on them what it blocks and how effective it is. There are videos on several of them by experts -slightly less expensive one is Simket and you can get two of them for $17 or something on Amazon. I’m going to keep one in my house and one in the car.
License plate readers work automatically. The officer in the patrol car doesn’t have to manually scan anything. The reader is scanning everything it locks in on, that comes into its view.
Thank you for your very informative article. It boggles my mind to think that we live in a time and under a government that requires people to need to do such things to stay safe from an activity that is granted by law to us by the Constitution of the United States. It is a surreal existence that we live in these days.
Thank you, your article was thorough and engaging, I think it will be a good addition for what to watch for as well in terms of surrounding awareness at your parades...
I'm Canadian for 86 years. This post horrified me because it applies to everyone who carries a phone anywhere in the world. I didn't know that having a cell phone impinged so directly on freedom. What a disappointment.
It does indeed Dennis, and it is as you say horrifying. We have become so dependent on them that it would be exceedingly difficult to wean ourselves off. I wonder when that became the point.
The fact that this article is necessary speaks volumes about the current state of the US.
I was thinking that sorry fact myself.
I’m going to be keeping my phone till I decide what I’m going do with it - I have already turned off tracking parts of the phone according to a list someone had I’m keeping my main phone -even in my home- in a Simket Faraday bag.

Don’t be a sheep, “JD.” It’s a bad look.
Easy button:
leave it at home, buy a $30 timex Watch and meet people at a determined time and landmark like we all used to do 25 years ago…
You’re speaking my language Tyler.
Yeah, I would just leave my phone at home and maybe get a burner phone because I would be in the city farther from home, I want to be able to communicate. Have to then have all needed phone numbers written down. There’s a bunch of legal numbers I’m going to write on my body. Isn’t this insane? I’m a Caucasian legal American senior citizen. Concerned to go to massive protests anymore in Chicago. I bought a gas mask and goggles to keep in my backpack just in case. For no reason -ICE has been throwing year gas canisters into peaceful protesters. 😡This 10/18 one, I think I’m gonna be attending the local south suburban one in my community with two friends that are refusing to go into the city with me again…
I even bought a Simket faraday bag to keep my phone in at home and while in the car.
YES do that!!
It should really be a “No Oligarchs” event, because it is the oligarchs who are trying to destroy America. Trump is just their flunkie.
I can’t wait until we’re all on the same team!
"Us and "Them" has given birth to countless atrocities.
It is a dangerous way of looking at things, even if you disapprove of some people's actions.
Without being divided against each other, we might notice the game itself was always rigged, and we might rise up against the real enemy.
Better to keep us fighting amongst each other and believing in puppets to save us
In my opinion, the best way is to embody and demonstrate that which you believe believe to be good and humane, to all who get to see your mode of living and behaviour.

Again, I’m in complete agreement Colin.
Where are best places to buy a burner phone? Feel dumb asking this, but any suggestions/advice on which ones would be appreciated.
Start a list.
EXACTLY- Peter Thiel is one of the creepiest ones. Leonard Leo. Scott Bessent, Stephen nazi Miller, Russell f-ing Vought of Project 2025, Musk, Curtis Yarvin, Ellison, too many to name, but these are the ones running a lot of the government and Trump is a puppet. They just let him do some stupid things that he gets in his head he wants to do -like tariffs -if it helps them tear down the economy they’re all for it.
Absolutely!!!

Yes! It doesn’t matter if it’s the “left” or “right“
We’re all on the same team: humanity versus the globalists (despite the divisions, they have tried so hard to sow).
But we do want to be wise and get off mainstream media because we are being propagandized (and mind controlled!) in a huge way.
The "Left" vs "Right" false dichotomy is a classic Thought-Terminating Cliche:
A thought-terminating cliché is a short, often simplistic phrase used to end a discussion, shut down critical thinking, and prevent further analysis of a complex issue.
Agreed, Colin.

What about the computer/navigation in your car. Is that also tracked?
Yes — some brands (Tesla, anyone?) more than others. And it doesn’t need your phone to send it as it has a built-in SIM.

Bring your American flags! I have mine from the No Kings march in April.
Yes me too - it’s OUR flag. We are the Patriots.
😳
You don't need to break the law to get into trouble in Trumpistan.
That's the real point.
That problem is over 8 years old honestly
Not really, Annalise. Please watch recent videos from Chicago. People peacefully protesting were shot with rubber bullets and pepper balls; some were seriously hurt, including a Presbyterian priest.
That’s not working with peaceful protests in Chicago. I normally march in Chicago. But I may be going to a local suburb in my community. They may also be putting instigators and agitators that are not peaceful protesters within these marches. Keep aware keep safe.
Anyone have a link or advice regarding how to handle an agitator (if you dont own a frog costume that is) 😀
It won’t let me paste a copy of the photo with rally tips, but that’s also from invisible and would be on their website
I think indivisible has a link to really good information for that. I can’t figure out how to -or where to find my link on some of that information. I think it’s in an email and I don’t know how to post an email here. If you google indivisible , protest, safety information you’ll probably find it.

Keep in mind license plate readers. I would be shocked if law enforcement doesn’t scan every tag in the area.
Right. If you park near an event, consider that data scooped up.
More info on this here: https://www.yourtimestartsnow.ch/p/the-protest-readiness-guide
Great info. Thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome Pablo.
That’s my point. Consider transit etc if you don’t want your tag being logged.
Another option might be to park at a business several blocks away. I'm planning on parking at a mall about 3 blocks away from the event.
More info on this here: https://www.yourtimestartsnow.ch/p/the-protest-readiness-guide
Or Uber.
No — very easy to track. More info here https://www.yourtimestartsnow.ch/p/the-protest-readiness-guide.

Think about it. A year ago, how many of us would be having a serious conversation about faraway phone bags?
I have always taken the train into downtown Chicago for the protests
Thank you very kindly for this valuable and vital information. May we all protest safely and be smart out there.
You're welcome Daughter.
I've provided more information on protest preparation safety here: https://www.yourtimestartsnow.ch/p/the-protest-readiness-guide
Thank you Lori. I am reading it now and will pass on to all of my neighbors and friends.
Excellent!! I’m in Canada but see unsettling signs here from Maple MAGA.
I know…🙁 propaganda from far right wingers and Russia and wherever are affecting many countries, even Canada. I am in the US.
And what exactly are these unsettling signs?
Thank you for your very informative article.
