I think I might be the master at non-compliance.

I left the UK in 2006 and have lived all over the world since then. I've mastered the art of no government on Earth knowing I exist.

Last year, one of the financial firms in the City of London wanted me to move onto an employment contract, rather than a consultancy contract. They tried to due diligence me (they have to as they are regulated) but couldn't. The compliance guy called me and said "I have no idea how you have done this, but you literally don't exist. Great job mate, you are a ghost!".

He was laughing and it was all good, but you have no idea how happy I was to hear those words.

I haven't lived in any particular country for the past 5 years. I have several passports which I use at my convenience. But I have zero allegiance to any nation. I use passports at my own convenience and I use photoshop to create other documents required from time to time for crossing border domains. I am free from being owned or controlled by any government. All governments are corrupt and are my enemy. I am a survivor and my instinct as a human being is to do whatever is necessary to survive. Survival of the fittest.

It's not that complicated, remember that government IT systems are at least a few years out of date, cost a fortune and are easily negated unless you voluntarily sign up for them (Remember Rule 1, DO NOT COMPLY).

In an IT war, boomers will never win.

Once you Zen meditate on the phrase "it is what it is is" you will realize this isn't just a lazy expression used by white van drivers.

Agreed. But technically even this is social media.

How I didn't get permanently banned from twitter during the Vaccine War remains a mystery though. I only had an account because I was trying to warn as many people as I could about what was coming.
