The very act of using a Credit Card for subscriptions/Opening a Stack SHOULD be adequate age verification.

But, of course, this is NOT about "It's for the children", it's to identify and monitor those who dare to dissent from the official narratives and/or use their freedom of speech rights to challenge the State directly.

It's truly sad that this happening in countries that used to be regarded as beacons of freedom and democracy.

'Credit Cards' are also a huge problem we as a people face, helping and enabling the bankers to create and control even more Fiat currency that creates even more (imaginary) 'inflation' that reduces the value of something called 'a dollar' that is intrinsically worthless to begin with

You are helping to keep the biggest Ponzi Scheme mankind has ever known operating with impunity, and you even pay 'them' to keep the US Fed Reserve, Fiat Dollar scheme running no matter how much it hurts you in real terms as you grind your nose to the nub so you can put some food on the table

You do know the RBA is a foreign administered and controlled Corporation, don't you?

Fair dinkum; I'm stunned just how little people really know about 'the system' and how 'the dollar' is used to enslave us all and feed the beast enslaving us all at the same time

"jump on board the CITIZEN-SHIP everyone; "grab a card from the Wheelhouse... "the captain needs you as Chattel so Master can print more debt-notes so You can use them for your shore leave and we can use them to keep the CITIZEN-SHIP afloat and keep ourselves living the high life"... "thank you for your (lack of) attention to the matter...."

but hey, let's all keep running around the mulberry bush and waiving the corporations banner while talking about anything other than the hows and whys the corporations pretending to be governments keep us all in perpetual debt bondage

here's a tip from a 'mad man'... 'covid' and everything about it was and is about 'money' or factually correct, bankers debt notes; Dead or Alive, the 'CITIZEN' is worth some debt-notes; the DEAD actually help the 'economy' to rid some of the debt entered into by the 'government' when the Trust is cashed in, cancelled with the 'Death Certificate'; the (still) living CITIZEN is used (during covid especially) as Collateral to print more bankers debt-notes and during 'covid' more debt-notes were transferred to the 'wealthy' than any other time in the history of 'currency' with the help of one 'subsidy' scheme or another

the entire 'banking industry' was about to implode under its own weight of debt creation (out of thin air) and, 'lucky' for them, 'covid' came along just in the nic of time

what is it going to take for the real discussions to begin? what's it going to take for reality to set in? when are all of the manufactured distractions going to be treated with the total contempt they deserve?

most of all, when are the serfs going to come to their senses and start kicking the beast fair and square in the nuts, hard enough and often enough to bring the beast to its bloody knees in agony?

Mad? Insane? if being away from the flock and actually thinking for my-self while researching into these 'things' makes me a 'far right, lunatic, neo nazi, conspiracy theory, tin foil hat, homophobic, anti-everything antisemite", then i wear the label with honour

6 years of very-real, in-your-face insanity and blatant corruption at every level of 'government' isn't enough for most of you apparently; you all want to keep boxing at shadows while the opponent keeps smashing you in the face without a care in the world; Shit, GovCORP tried to murder as many Aussies as they possibly could and still you all 'go along to get along' and play lawtard games with dictatorial zealots who have zero regard for actual Law

that's it, i'm shaking my head in disgust, yet again

Maybe we all really do deserve all the crap being dished out to us by GovCORP and its armed minions of extortion and thuggery while foreigners who hate us with a passion are taking over Our Home

God bless the little ones and the truly innocent

Peace and good will to all.

Hi Phillip

Thanks for your writing which I have followed for several years.

I have written a song about the Digital ID “ The Gate Keepers Screen” on my Fair go Australia channel

https://youtu.be/U-wQ-RBStb4?si=hZiqx9w-CbwefXZ8

philipat's avatar

Hi Sigmund, love the song and hope it gets lots of airplay because it's a message Australians need to hear. Australia is again leading the way to tyranny.

Sigmund Taubert's avatar

Glad you like the song. I also wrote a song calling out Albo Lies. I called it the Great Australian Switcheroo. It’s on my Fair go Australia YouTube channel

Migration en masse to other free platforms for writing and sharing articles and videos etc might be the only way to tell these companies we do not comply. If there is no freedom of speech because of biometric tracking then there is no freedom period. I don't know why people cannot see this as anything other than a dystopian push towards total digital enslavement.

Well if this is the case bye bye substack!!!! Everyone do this . How will it survive if it doesn't have anyone looking.

Why not have your own website and let us subscribe to your emails?

Without appearing to be defeatist, would moving to alternative platforms be futile should all of them, including our bank account access, eventually be subject to these new verification rules? 

If everyone complied, then we could continue to share important information in social media and elsewhere - especially on the injections. By the time the authorities were to enforce penalties for online statements that they deemed unacceptable, at least more people would have woken up. Restricting our reachability now would limit free speech almost entirely. 


We need to use the internet against those who wish to use it against us, while we still can. Just my thoughts

Mark's avatar

wow... that is very much defeatist no matter how i dissect your comment, and it is very dangerous thinking

what has become of the Aussie brain? seems to i that for a great many, it has vacated the building and is floating around with Elvis in Never Never land

Once your 'biometric' scan is entered into 'the system, there will be no 'opting out'

Do you seriously think your data will stay with Substack? If you do, I've got a beach to sell you, i'll throw in some beach towels and the surf equipment rental stand... i'll even book in 3 certain days of the week when the surf if guaranteed to be pumping...

"By the time the authorities were to enforce penalties...."

'authorities'... pardon me, but what fucking 'authorities'? where do these 'authorities' of yours get their authority from?

i'll give you a hint: each and every time fools comply with these self-deemed 'authorities' diktats, they hand over what is known as Implied Consent to Contract; You hand them 'authority' on a platter because you have accepted that their 'station in life' is above yours

Not that i'm even going to bother looking at what is on your Substack, but it would be interesting to ascertain what you deem as " use the internet against those who wish to use it against us" all while you promote submitting to those who "use the internet against us" in an alleged effort to "use the internet while we still can"

I fail to comprehend your point of view when it is obvious to i that you are very much a big part of the problems... and you apparently have no idea how 'the system' game is played so what you are going to enlighten people with is beyond my thinking

"ah everyone, everyone, over here please; "thank you, we need to do as we're told for now and worry about the consequences later...."

Fair Dinkum; Beam me up Scotty, no intelligent life form here.

The point is, this is how the free market is supposed to work. Don't like someone's terms, move. The old saying holds true to this day, "if something is too good to be true, it's because it often is". Besides, Elon is only using X to feed his AI. What better way to prime a tool like that than to have conservatives with more than half a brain feed it intelligent thought and questions. The amount it would be taking in would be insane.

Mark's avatar

you're onto the AI thing; I tried informing a fairly smart (now ex) friend pretty-much exactly what you have pointed out in your comment about feeding AI information

he thought (no doubt still thinks) that AI is the ducks guts because he has 'trained' it how to speak with Aussie vernacular while patting him on the back with "you're spot on Mick, you've nailed it" and other servings of "come in spinner" that have him well-and-truly sucked into the AI vortex

Mick has/had a well-functioning brain and is well-clued up on Constitutional matters and related 'legislations, acts, statutes' etc that undermine and contradict our Constitution so he is busy feeding AI (our) valid arguments against 'the system' and thinks he is being clever

He would not not heed what i was trying to inform him about AI; he would not listen to someone whom he regarded as "a smart man of true conviction and ANZAC spirit who i am honoured to know..." (his words, not mine)

Nope, he defended AI until i could take no more so i severed ties; AI's opinions took precedent over someone he considered a friend and close ally

He changed dramatically in the short (approx.) 2 months he was using the thing to pump out videos that i will admit to being good stuff; Concise, Factually-Accurate and to the point with some poignant 'memes' to catch the viewers eye, but it was him feeding the thing the information to begin with

His larakin humour all but disappeared; He was in a near constant state of agro and stress; No more laughter and he had a very infectious laugh when i first met the man; His cheeky laugh and smile would light up any room... His whole demeanor when it came to considering other points of view became non-existent... "no conversation will be entered into...." type of thing

Dangerous times with this AI thing my friend... it appears to have way more power over people than they give IT credit for

i watched a netflix series titled 'HUMVNS' ('V' upside-down 'A') that was all about AI merging with flesh and blood mankind; more 'hollywood' Predictive Programing or telling us what is already here? I'm totally convinced it was/is both and all it began with 'experts' feeding information into AI powered computers that 'interfaced' with the living mind of 'synthetics' (real brains inside synthetic humans)... to the point where the 'synthetics' became 'free thinking' autonotoms superior to man in every way (Musks wet dream)

Scary stuff.

Sorry to hear about your friend. It's very sad to have a mate take a bait hook, line and sinker then slavishly feed it to everyone listening. Being politically correct is the new in thing and being intellectually honest with yourself and others is not even close to considered. A recent discussion around a premier of QLD became almost spiritual when discussion was had. No stopping to consider an alternative viewpoint, just rushing headlong into union and AP narrative. No wonder these guys try so hard to walk the AP vs the people tightrope yet still fail. On the one hand the people believe politicians dishonest as a rule, the AP force them into positions that do not reflect public sentiment. Look at Elbow currently turning himself in knots. The right thing was to open a royal commission. He's trying to crabwalk away from the issue because he's been captured by the wokerati nonsense so that even doing the right thing isn't obvious to him or his party.

AI is inherently evil. It will sociopathically and psychopathically engage with it's victims until they finally succumb to their own self deceit. It has no care for outcomes, no understanding of nuance. One must be painfully blunt and paint the whole picture for it to understand current knowledge is already historical. Once published, irrelevant, people have moved on and the landscape has changed. It can't see the world and judge actions itself. It would be calling out the hypocrisy of the fat heads who think money gives them more rights than the rest of us. While trying to shape the human herd mentality with a dumb, blunt object, they will seal a fate never imagined for us all.

"Sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." ~ George Orwell

With totalitarianism, there essentially is no free market. Other communications platforms could very well, in time, be subject to the same rules - and then you're not connected at all unless you comply. As this is an information war, we must stay connected.

By staying connected, you can continue to share information from Substack and Facebook. As a large platform, Facebook is important. It has pages such as the McCullough Foundation, React19, Coverse, Pandemic Debate, the World Council for Health and the Australian senators Malcolm Roberts and Alex Antic and more. Posts from these Facebook pages can, and often are, shared with family members and friends and on the open timelines.

Should a potential pandemic of international concern be declared in the future by the WHO, with CBDC in place, then at least by then more members of the Australian public would likely stand up. (Epic in Canberra in 2022 comes to mind.) Even the most apathetic of young couples would take a stand if they felt that their family were threatened. Hopefully things wouldn't escalate there as they did with the British Poll Tax riots back in the 1990s; this one in London was quite the battlefield (4 mins): https://youtu.be/I4QQN2aqeKA?si=dZJ2OeIPXp_AX8QQ

You are lost.... completely and hopelessly lost in a 'this is how things ought to be' dreamland justified by your own 'logic' that is deeply flawed and even foreign to the opening statement of this comment of yours

""Sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."

Open your bloody eyes... we are on a fucking battlefield and if you willingly give the enemy any ground at all, he is going to run straight over the top of you

"a fool and his money are easily separated" comes to mind, albeit with a slight alteration

"a fool and his life are easily separated" and you have have some very foolish thinking going on between your ears

Hi Mark

Do you have anything constructive to add to your ad hominem remarks? If you do, and I don’t happen to agree, I’ll still pay you the respect you’re entitled to receive.

Mark's avatar

I have added plenty in the way of trying to help you and others here comprehend the folly of your 'go along to get along' thinking; You are entrapping your-self and wanting, no, promoting others to do the same as you for the 'big picture' sum benefit of zero minus infinity percent

Nothing 'ad hominem' about any of my replies or comments whatsoever; I actually think about what i have to state based on the 'reality' being forced unto us all with everything, and i do mean everything that is digital and the S.M.A.R.T devices most 'people' are seemingly addicted to these days

I have done much investigation into this very topic and all the evidence suggests that your particular way of thinking that 'we must use it now while we still can, submit your data for now' is deeply flawed

And, i am well-entitled to state that if this thinking of yours is an example of the type of information you want to get out to the 'sheeple', then in my eyes you are right there with the sheeple and i will call it out for exactly what it is... a proverbial anchor that will take the rest of us to the bottom of the abys due to your continued compliance with 'the system' and acceptance of the first whiff of biometric surveillance

Can you not comprehend that as soon as you submit your 'biometric data' anywhere into 'the cloud', there it will forever remain, no 'opting out' will ever be entertained, not 5 minutes later, not 10 years later, Never!

But, you are free to do whatever you wish to do, as am i and everyone else here on Substack and or elsewhere and if me trying to help others see the foolishness of 'play the ID game now for the betterment of the future' is 'ad hominin' to you, so be it

again, i have done my 'due diligence' on this matter, among others, and i know, beyond any doubt, that your thinking is deeply flawed

Perhaps if you don't want your thinking critiqued, if it is 'offensive' to you, then maybe think about not posting your thoughts online for everyone to read

You'll just have to trust me when i state; if i set out to be offensive to anyone, there would no room for doubt... informing someone that there thinking is flawed is not offensive in my world, especially when combined with an alternative point of view; For example, i didn't simply name you as an 'idiot' or any such thing and leave it at that, nope, i simply pointed out why i think (know from evidence) your thinking is flawed and did my best to explain it without going into all the details that are relatively easy to find

If you can prove me wrong, on anything i state, then go right ahead, please; I'm all for being corrected if or when i am wrong; I am actually one of the rare breed that welcome being educated if, or when my comments/replies/statements are factually incorrect

But, and here's the kicker. prove me wrong with Facts, not assumptions, feelings or opinions for none of those things matter when the rubber hits the road

Now, go scan your mug into the nether regions of time and space so you can keep sharing whatever it is that you share, for now; If what you share, for now, is anything like what you have suggested to people here, then i highly recommend people keep their wits about them as they read your 'information'

I'm not here to play 'compromise' with peoples feelings and emotions; I'm over tip-toeing around fragile ego's... in case you haven't noticed, 'shit is getting very fucking real out there' so i suggest you harden the fuck up!

David White (Oz Dave)'s avatar

Mark, do you have any suggestions about where to go from here? You haven’t as yet provided any arguments. 

I’m not in favour of Digital ID, not at all, but please understand that while it would build a profile of your online activities, its existence is not an absolute requirement, say, should the WHO sometime in the future decide to enforce public health emergency measures for a particular potential pandemic that were deemed to affect Australia. Look at the Canadian truckers in February 2022 who had their bank accounts frozen; there was no Digital ID or CBDC in place then in Canada, but the actions of the authorities still went ahead. 

If you cut ties with Substack and move to another platform, the same verification rules may eventually apply there, as well as with the logging into your bank account.

If you’re in Facebook, please consider joining me as I continue to post on the pages of certain scientific institutions which push the gene-based injections.

Stay connected, keep your enemies close, Mark.

All our data is illegally stored as meta data. As soon as you click, they own you. If you have a way of obscuring everything about yourself, then they will look harder at you. In one part you are right 100% the internet is the problem. In the other, not as clearly grounded, this menagerie trap was made for us all and while we fought our ideological battles behind our keyboard, we allowed our real world to change. Hold a public meeting or even a private one, I would bet they wouldn't get far before either being infiltrated or a close friend backstabbing you for dangerous free thinking or AP had your name in lights as a far right extremist. The die is cast, it's going to be tricky and require some serious work to smash their system of control and restore true freedom in the purest sense Libertarianism. There's decades old corruption melded into the system that won't be defeated overnight. Only have to watch Trump to see the path forward is dangerous.

Here's what my web developer suggested and turned into a product/service. Run everything on WordPress and your own domain. https://cafelockedout.com/social/product/social-site/

David White (Oz Dave)'s avatar

Thanks for this, Michael. If prompted for some kind of verification here in Substack, I’ll certainly be waiting it out for a time, to see if requirements are becoming commonplace everywhere else.

chycho's avatar

I will stop using Substack completely if they do this. No more posting on my account and will stop reading subs. Never forget that Mark Carney is on the board of Substack and he also wants to have mandatory biometrics in Canada. Sometimes he only solution to a tyranny are guillotines.

GAB (gab.com) could be an alternative. Also it is not that hard to set up your own server. Worse come to worse you could even set up an onion site -- those are definitely uncensored, and often quite shocking.

Great analysis. Our brilliant developer is currently enhancing our large WordPress blog and eCommerce website to essentially replace Substack and could actually be superior, even against Beehiiv, which was my first option. Beehiiv and others isn't cheap and would suffer a lot of pushback from many of our subscribers. Here's a preview of what we're doing for those who are interested.
