It's Called “Theft”
They have all of my babies' information. All of it. And I gave it to them. Freely, willingly, proudly even. I handed it over to them daily, like a good little robot, for over 20 years.
I naively believed that my carefully selected privacy settings and my small curated list of close friends was protecting them. I actually felt smug about this. While other moms were stupidly posting public photos of their kid in the bathtub, and especially while even crazier looking ones were exploiting theirs in family YouTube channels, I was a smart mom. A good mom.
Now, twenty years later, my old blogs that contain an astronomical amount of my children's information and images still exist on the web. I cannot delete them from the public’s view because I no longer have access to the email address associated with those WordPress and Blogspot accounts. My children are everywhere online.
I am everywhere.
And while I sit here, desperately fighting for my digital privacy, I also fully recognize that I am at least 10, if not 20 or more years behind. I'm over here yelling about about mind control and exploitation and slavery, and the masters are eight steps ahead of me.
They have moved beyond digital takeover, because they have succeeded at it. You and I are living proof of that. They know that they have us trapped in the digital prisons they created just for us.
Today, we are walking around with our insides riddled with microplastics. And there is no defense, no way to avoid them. They are in our water. Our food. Our hygiene products. Our clothes. Our mattresses and pillowcases. And this is “just” microplastics. Our bodies have been infested with many things, and those things result in other things, like neurological disorders and turbo cancers and inflammatory, untreatable autoimmune diseases. Food allergies that threaten to kill our children if they even share the same classroom with a single tree nut. They've fully poisoned us.
This is where you interject, or you roll your eyes and stop reading. You say “Okay, calm down Cass. You're being a little dramatic. Let's not overexaggerate. Yes, our healthcare system is broken and yes, we know that there is some corruption and conflicts of interest between Big Pharma and the FDA and the CDC. We know that student doctors are indoctrinated in medical school to partner with the pharmaceutical industry and are taught to receive kickbacks from them. We know that doctors attend many mandatory continuing education classes throughout the course of their career in order to keep their license active and in good standing, and we know that those classes are hosted by Big Pharma. We know that Western medicine focuses on detecting disease and then treating it with prescription drugs, rather than investigating the root cause of the dysfunction or treating the body and mind holistically. We know that the government has forced us to have health insurance lest we receive a tax penalty, and we know that we can't afford health insurance premiums/deductibles/co-pays, much less out of pocket costs. We know that we have to keep paying the pre-selected, pre-approved list of providers for the pre-selected, pre-approved list of services while we continue to rack up more debt and more disease. But there are still plenty of good things about our system and our country! We should be grateful that we even have access to medical care, and emergency services! We have plenty of food to eat and water to drink. Things aren't perfect by any means, but we are blessed! Think about the good things we have instead of being so angry about all of the abuse we have endured and will continue to tolerate! Why don't we take a deep breath, pray about it, and then go eat some Dominoes pizza while we watch the Superbowl?”
