The ultimate Privacy and Security Guide
This privacy and security guide will help with The Crucial Distinction of Who You Are, What You’re Made Of, and What You Stand On.
In a world where the boundaries between the individual and the collective are often blurred, understanding the difference between private and public matters has never been more critical. This isn’t a trivial distinction; it’s a foundational principle that can mean the difference between freedom and slavery.
When we act as public entities—identifying ourselves with government-issued IDs, registering your private property as commercial vehicles, or enrolling in public social systems—we inadvertently give public servants like police officers the legal authority to impose their will upon us.
This guide aims to serve as a roadmap to help you navigate these complex terrains. It’s not just a set of suggestions; it’s a call to conscious action that goes well Beyond History.
We’ll explore the legal and practical implications of public versus private matters and offer actionable steps to help you reclaim your autonomy and sovereignty.
By understanding these distinctions, you take the first step in freeing yourself from a system that you may have unknowingly allowed to limit your freedoms.
What Public and Private Really Mean for You
Understanding public and private matters isn’t just book smart; it’s life smart. Let’s say you use a government ID or drive a state-registered vehicle. That puts you in the public eye. And that means public officials like police officers can legally interact with you and treat you as public property. Why and How? you may ask. Because you’re acting like public property.
But if you keep things private, you have more control. That’s why knowing the difference is key. In this guide, we’ll show you how to move between public and private at your leisure.
We’ll talk about setting up a private foundation and issuing your own ID. We’ll also look at other ways to keep your life private, like walking, cycling, or using ride-shares like Uber and Lyft.
Taking Action: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Moving from Public to Private
Step 00. Understand the Basics:
Before you can take meaningful steps to protect your privacy and autonomy, it’s crucial to understand the difference between public and private matters. Public property is collectively owned by the state or community and is meant for communal use. It’s regulated by legalities and policies to serve the the public’s interest. Examples include public parks, roads, and government buildings. Are you one of these?
Private property, on the other hand, is owned by individual men and women or entities other than the state. You have exclusive rights to use, sell, or lease this type of property. Examples include your house, fully-owned automobile, and businesses. Even your sons and daughters are legally your private property. Not to mention yourself. That’s right, your body is your private property too. Isn’t it?
Understanding these distinctions sets the stage for the actions you can take to move from the public sphere to the private one. It’s not just about knowing the difference; it’s about understanding the implications of these choices on your freedom and privacy.
Step 01. Setting Up a Private Foundation: A Generational Approach to Privacy and Security
Creating a private foundation is neither simple nor easy, but it’s a crucial step for safeguarding your privacy and generational wealth. You have options: either establish the foundation within the U.S. or opt for jurisdictions outside the U.S. for enhanced privacy and security.
Inside the U.S.
In the United States, a private foundation provides a structured way to manage both philanthropic efforts and personal identification. However, this places you under U.S. jurisdiction, which may not offer the level of privacy you desire.
Outside the U.S.
If you’re seeking an extra layer of privacy, consider setting up your foundation outside the U.S. Jurisdictions like Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, and Belize are renowned for their strong privacy laws, offering a secure way to manage your assets and personal identification.
The Rockefeller and Clinton Foundations: A Study in Generational Privacy
Both the Rockefeller and Clinton Foundations serve as prime examples of how private foundations can be used for generational privacy. Established in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation has evolved but has always focused on tackling societal issues at their root. Similarly, the Clinton Foundation, founded in 1997, claims to focus on global challenges like health and wellness, yet both families have successfully maintained their private matters while being public figures. They use their foundations as vehicles to hide behind “philanthropic” efforts, thereby preserving family traditions and values while operating their private matters discreetly.
Create Your Own Jurisdiction
You have more options than you might think. For those willing to take full personal responsibility, operating outside any government’s jurisdiction is a unique but straightforward process.
Start by creating foundational documents, such as your Canons of Conduct, which outline your Private Foundation’s purpose and operational guidelines. Get these documents notarized and then file them at a local county level. Finally run three ads in your local city or county newspaper.
To further legitimize your foundation, create a website and social media pages announcing the establishment and posting the records in public view. Keep copies of all records in three separate and secure locations accessible only to you and trusted family members.
Appoint a secretary who keeps a record of all foundation-related conversations, donations, and acquisitions. Treat it as a real life entity designed to protect the rights and property of your family for generations to come.
Financial Autonomy
Consider operating your finances entirely in cryptocurrency on the blockchain. This ensures no bank or government can question or trace any funds. You can even exchange cryptocurrency for local currency at ATMs worldwide, allowing you to operate privately and under the radar.
Safeguarding Your Assets
Safeguarding your private keys is crucial. Use multiple cryptocurrency wallets for added layers of security and privacy. Educate yourself and your family how to memorize these keys so you can access your foundation’s funds anywhere you may be.
Taking full financial control might seem daunting, but it’s a necessary step for next-level privacy and security, ensuring the longevity of your family’s beliefs and wealth.
By understanding your options and taking a strategic approach, you can set up a private foundation that serves your immediate needs and secures your family’s future.
Step 02: Rethink Transportation for Optimal Privacy and Security
Driving a state-registered vehicle puts you squarely in the public sphere, making you more susceptible to interactions with public servants like police officers. However, there are alternative ways to get around that offer more privacy and control over your personal information.
For short distances, consider walking or cycling. These eco-friendly options keep you out of the public eye and jurisdiction. For longer commutes, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft offer the convenience of a car without the strings of state registration. To add an extra layer of privacy and security, consider using the Uber or Lyft account of a trusted friend or family member.
Public transportation options like buses and trains also offer more privacy than you might think. Contrary to popular belief, only the driver of these vehicles falls under public jurisdiction, not the passengers.
Remember, when registering for any of these services, never use your real address. Instead, use an address that you have access to but doesn’t directly link back to you. This could be the address of a trusted friend or family member, or a registered agent who is committed to protecting your privacy.
By carefully choosing your modes of transportation, you can maintain a higher level of privacy and personal freedom in your daily life.
Step 03: Safeguard Your Home Address for Ultimate Privacy
Your home is your sanctuary, the place where your most precious assets—be it family, personal belongings, or sensitive documents—are located. So why would you freely give away the physical location of these valuable assets to entities like the DMV, grocery stores, or hospitals? These organizations often have no real need to know where you and your loved ones sleep at night, yet this information is frequently and normally requested.
Instead of using your actual home address, opt for an alternative address that you trust. This could be a registered agent who specializes in privacy services, or the address of a trusted friend or family member who values and respects your privacy. By doing so, you add an extra layer of security and privacy to your life, safeguarding not only your location but also the people and things that matter most to you.
Remember, the less information you give out, the less there is to be used against you. Protecting your home address is a simple yet effective step in maintaining a private and secure lifestyle.
Step 04: Interact Carefully with Law Enforcement for Your Own Protection
Encounters with law enforcement and police officers can be unpredictable and potentially consequential. While it’s important to be respectful, it’s equally crucial to be cautious about the information you share. Police officers are trained to gather information that could be used against you in a court of law, so the less you say, the better protected you are. This isn’t just for good measure; it’s literally invoking your right to remain silent.
If you find yourself in a situation where you’re being questioned by a police officer, a simple yet effective response is to say, “I don’t talk to strangers.” Just like you were taught as a kid. Then, offer a card that directs them to your private foundation for further information. This approach maintains a level of respect for the officer while safeguarding your own privacy and legal standing.
By being cautious in your interactions with law enforcement, you’re not only protecting yourself but also setting a precedent for how public servants can engage with you and your private property. It’s a proactive step in maintaining your privacy and ensuring your rights are respected.
In the unfortunate event that an encounter with a police officer becomes violent, it’s crucial not to resist or threaten the officer. Doing so could escalate the situation and result in injury. Instead, go along with the situation to ensure your immediate safety. Make a mental or physical note of the officer’s name for future reference. Once the situation has settled, you can take legal action personally against the officer’s legal name, holding him and his private property personally liable for any damages incurred. This approach holds individuals accountable for their actions, rather than to allow hiding behind the veil of their public roles.
Step 05: Operate Financially Outside the Traditional Banking System
In a world where financial transactions are increasingly monitored and controlled by governmental bodies, operating outside the traditional banking system can offer an unparalleled level of privacy and security. One way to achieve this is by conducting all your financial dealings in cryptocurrency on the blockchain.
Cryptocurrency, being decentralized, allows you to have full control over your assets without the need for a third-party institution like a bank. This means that no government or financial institution can freeze your assets, question your transactions, or even know how much you own.
You might be concerned about Bitcoin’s value going up and down. But guess what? Traditional money like the US dollar does the same. The big difference is that dollars are affected by inflation, which can change the cost of everyday things. Over the long term, Bitcoin offers a safer, long-term way to keep your money, especially when it’s not tied to any government.
However, this freedom comes with its own set of responsibilities. Safeguarding your private keys is of utmost importance. Losing access to your keys means losing your assets. Therefore, consider using multiple cryptocurrency wallets for added layers of security. Educate yourself and your family to memorize your private wallet keys or store them in a highly secure location.
By taking full financial control, you not only ensure your privacy but also open doors to a level of financial freedom that is rarely experienced in the traditional system. It might seem like a daunting task, but it’s a necessary one for achieving next-level privacy and security, and for ensuring the longevity of your family’s wealth.
Step 6: Reconsider Your Living Situation for Optimal Privacy
When it comes to where you live, staying flexible can offer significant advantages in terms of privacy and security. Renting a place, rather than carrying the burden of a mortgage, allows you the freedom to move when needed.
Consider living in different countries for short periods, like 3 to 6 months at a time. Services like Airbnb offer fully furnished, long-term options that are easy to book. For an added layer of privacy, you might use an account registered to a trusted friend or family member.
When you first arrive in a new location, these services can be a convenient starting point. But as you get to know the area, look for local connections that allow for private transactions in cash or cryptocurrency. This approach not only enhances your privacy but also immerses you in the local culture.
If, after some time traveling, you find a place where you feel most comfortable, you might consider a more permanent move. Investing in land for off-grid living can offer both privacy and a stable home base, allowing you to create a sanctuary that aligns with your values and lifestyle.
If you discover a place that feels right for you, think about getting residency, citizenship, or even a second passport. Multiple passports offer more freedom and privacy. Aim for countries with good privacy laws and stability. While getting residency or citizenship can take time, the privacy, security, and lifestyle benefits are worth it. It’s a way to gain more control over where you live, work, and store your assets.
By being mindful of your living situation and making strategic choices, you can significantly enhance your privacy and security, while also enjoying a rich, global experience.
Step 07. Making It Work Financially: The Elephant in the Room
To truly embrace this lifestyle of next-level privacy and freedom, you can’t overlook the financial aspect. It’s not just about having a plan; it’s about having a sustainable source of funds consistently coming in that aligns with your flexible lifestyle. The universal key to this is offering skills, products, and/or services that holds value across borders.
Think about how to set up businesses that operates online on a global scale, adaptable to various languages and cultures. This isn’t just about diversifying your funding circuit; it’s about creating a universally valuable service that frees you from geographic constraints.
Accept multiple forms of payment to make your financials as flexible as your lifestyle. Local currencies are good, but cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin offer an added layer of privacy and are becoming more universally accepted.
By establishing businesses that offer real value to a diverse clientele, you’re doing more than just securing your freedom. You’re laying down the foundational groundwork for a legacy that provides generational freedom, privacy, and security for yourself, your family and loved ones.
Step 08. The Path to Generational Freedom and Privacy
The journey to a life of privacy, security, and ultimate freedom is not a simple one, but it’s a path worth exploring. From understanding the basics of public and private matters to taking actionable steps like setting up a private foundation and diversifying your finance streams, each decision you make brings you closer to a life less dictated by external systems.
It’s not just about you; it’s about setting a precedent for future generations. By taking these steps, you’re not only securing your own freedom but also laying the foundation for your children and their children to live a life less encumbered by the public sphere.
These choices may seem daunting, but remember, the best time to start is now. Your future self, as well as your future generations, will thank you.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we break down each section of this guide. My aim is to simplify these complex topics, making it easier for you to take meaningful steps toward a more private and secure life that leads to a level of freedom not yet imagined.
Addressing the “What Do You Have to Hide?” Argument
You might hear people ask, “Why all the secrecy? What do you have to hide?” This question is a distraction, often called a “red herring.” It implies that you only need privacy if you’re doing something wrong, which is a misleading idea.
Privacy isn’t about hiding; it’s about having control over your own life. The argument that “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear” is flawed and often used to control people. The real issue isn’t about hiding things; it’s about protecting what’s important—your freedom, your family’s well-being, and your right to live without unnecessary interference.
