In light of Digital ID and mass surveillance systems heavily being pushed right now in different countries (the UK already feeling the heavy consequences of it [1][2]), I felt now would be a good time to compile a list of resources to help you fight against the push for a total surveillance state and the erosion of freedom and privacy.

One of the most powerful, most peaceful tools we have in our arsenal isn’t trying to take the pyramid down from the top down. It’s to disintegrate it from the bottom up, and we don’t do this by trying to force change in areas we can’t control. We do this by changing ourselves, our own habits, and recognizing that we vote for what we want in this world with our attention, our dollar, and our energy. If we are unhappy with the state of things, we can simply choose to ‘opt out’, leave the current systems of control behind, and create our own.

We’ve already been told how to do it in the past:

“When will the kingdom of God come?”

Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. People will not say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ because God’s kingdom is within you. The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man. But you will not see it. People will say to you, ‘Look, there he is!’ or, ‘Look, here he is!’ Stay where you are; don’t go away and search.”

― Jesus (Luke 17)

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

In a nutshell, what we need is to stop waiting on somebody else to fix all the problems in our world, stop waiting for somebody else to lead us, stop waiting for others to step up for us and stop making excuses for our inaction. The change we need on a global scale needs to start within ourselves, at the individual level. You. The change you want to see in the world starts with the choices you make today for you in your own reality. It is up to each individual to take initiative and responsibility for their own life, their own choices, their own habits, and actions, and start creating the change we want to see in the world from the inside out. If there is something you do not like, you do not need to accept that that is just the way things are. It’s time to break that mentality. If we want change, that starts by making the conscious decision to remove ourselves from the equation of corrupt systems and shift our habits, our energy, our attention, and our dollars to the things we do want to support. It doesn’t matter what political leaning you are, this is not a matter of being left, right, or whatever. If you see corruption currently plaguing our world, this resources page is to empower you with information and tools to start making the shift; opt out, and start building something better.

If anyone has useful resources for this page, please comment them and I’ll see about including them so it’s sorted and easy for everyone to find what they need.

I also want to encourage anyone interested to share, as well as download the static copy of this page and upload it to your own sites. Feel free to modify it with your own contributions. The more this information is spread, the more people who need it can more easily find it.
