When my eyes stop hurting, I'll work on this page some more and flesh out all these links.
In the meanwhile, check out what I spent this morning writing: What can each of us do about government corruption?

- Set your computer's clock
- Social networks
- Implement decentralized currency (Bitcoin, Etherium, Dogecoin)
- An anonymous person called themself Satoshi Nakamoto and
published back in 2008ish an open source program called, BitCoin which allows
people to transact money over the internet in a safe and verifiably secure way.
- The way bitcoin keeps transactions safe is by using The Blockchain. The Blockchain is a ledger of transactions, copied instantaneously to every computer that participates in the digital currency (in this case, bitcoin). Each transaction is copied to the blockchain and therefore to every computer running it and cannot be spoofed or fooled unless you have at least 51% of the computers in the world running bitcoin under your control. As of right now, the United States hosts around 29.7% of all bitcoin nodes.
- Mining
- Centralized fiat currencies
- The Federal Reserve loans cash money into existence FOR WHICH WE ALL PAY THEM INTEREST.
- Implement decentralized Contract enforcement (Etherium)
- What Bad Things can you do with a computer
- Remotely control somebody else's computer
- Encrypt somebody else's files and ransom them back
- Steal bank account credentials and credit cards
- Steal Votes cast electronically
What can each of us do about government corruption? Short answer:
- Grow your own food
- Become friendly with your local law enforcement personnel
- Choose peaceful thoughts. Choose how you perceive the world. Choose to be influenced by calm and joyful experiences. Everything that happens to you, changes you. Choose to become the person you wish most to be. Engineer situations for your life so that you are most often exposed to loving joyful people and experiences. Minimize your exposure to toxic angry violent thoughts, dreams and goals.
- Start bartering and using bitcoin and other decentralized currencies.
- The longer answer is here.
- Ideas to solve local problems
- Create a program to permanently loan out to homeowners and renters digital video recorder systems and cameras. The homeowner/renter will have to install and connect to their
own internet service and agree to make all video streams available for free to the public
and the police and they'll agree to leave the system on 24/7 and point the cameras at
public places only. The system is likely to pay for itself within a short time.
- Eventually, cities in Lake county should all have their own publicly available free
internet service via wifi or Fiber.
- Misc. notes:

Can't tax bitcoin
The IRS is extortion. Supreme Court Decisions saying the income tax is voluntary. Wages should never be subject to taxes.
The IRS isn't a government agency. it is a privately held corporation, like the Democratic Party.
Municipal Judicial Bribery in southern california
The whole child sex trafficking system which supported the Clintons has been being severly damaged by Trump's thousand pedophile arrests
- The Deep State
The Deep State is composed of bureaucrats who've been bought by the oligarchs. It starts
with each and every one of us. If you were a government bureaucrat, how much money would
it take to convince you to legislate against the interest of the People? $10 Million?
$50 Million? Each of us must answer this question before we go into public office or
begin a job whose responsibilities including public service.
