And I’ll wager people won’t be making 500 mile car trips in the future either. They’ll want us all living in the chosen housing for us in big cities. Many won’t own cars, but travel by government owned transportation systems.

It is actually perfectly doable. You may not be able to bring much in the way of luggage or passengers, and it may take you a while, but riding a horse 500 miles is really not an unheard of thing. People rode horses from one side of this country to the other all the time before vehicles. Even today, a 100 mile endurance competition in 2 days is pretty common and lots of people do it. I know an 8 year old girl that did one just last year. Riding 20 miles in a day just on a casual trail ride is routine for many.

It would also be a convenient means to shut a lot of roads down at the same time…..
Remember manual transmissions? Now they’re a millennial anti theft device.

But how to disconnect? We need a license to drive, a bank account to pay bills, maybe a phone in the car in case the car breaks down, have to pay car insurance etc. I don't see how most of us can escape. I don't have a TV though so don't get that type of brainwashing. When the radio ads come on I turn the radio off or the volume off. Then I forget to turn it back on. I am disconnecting too by not getting the covid shot. I can partially disconnect but not all the way. I'm poor and can't afford solar so stay on the grid.

Only worry about what you can control!
It takes time to eliminate most of what you are discussing, and a desire to do things differently. There are a lot of people who have disconnected. It doesn’t happen overnight. We have been disconnecting for a couple years. Three more steps and we’re out. Are you poor because you don’t have the nice things you’re supposed to have by society’s standards or are you hungry living under a bridge poor? You have to accept a new reality and break the molds, then you are free from the matrix.

Yep, them soldiers really liked their mules, too. Even to the point of 'giving them a break' every now and then...
I'm almost certain it's photoshopped...but....

Yeah...that could be why he's carrying it, for sure. I was just being silly when I said what I did up there. But...I hadn't thought about mine fields...

Owner tells of companies who would buy clapped out C-1500, C-2500, C-3500 Chevy Trucks - yunno - the "square nose."
ALL the parts of the square nose are available repop. Including the cab. Owner says the doors were under $100 which he put on his 1978 "back in the day."
Anyway, this company would take your basket case, rebuild it, and sell it back to you for half of the price of an equivalent modern day Chevy.
Owner says this started during the Alaskan Pipeline - and even though the pipeline is done, the demand for these trucks continues enough to this day to support the trade.
Owner tried to convince his BIL to do this on his Battlestar Galactica (Chevy Suburban)

Go 2001 and back. After the 2002 model year many car makers went with drive by wire systems. IE, ones that use a potentiometer rather than a throttle cable to meter the amount of fuel put out through the fuel injection system.

Everybody needs to keep in mind a few things. First, any "Matrix" to get stuck in needs to have many things that contribute to the makeup and continuance of that "Matrix". Take one or a few of those things away, and the "Matrix" unravels, or completely explodes. Systems require input and output, without them the system will fail. Second, every "block" that they use technology to create also can be defeated by technology. Whether it is a password in your Bios flashrom keeping you from booting, or some odd piece of code or a sensor keeping your vehicle from working, there are ways and devices to fix that problem (and getting them NOW may be a good idea to have for later). I personally use (at minimum) the following four devices:
Bus Pirate v3.6 universal serial interface or Bus Pirate v4
With those 4 devices, you can get inside of almost any part or control module on a vehicle as well as get inside almost any firmware or flash contents and find all sorts of interesting facts, assembly language, or passwords.
Third thing, learn NOW (if you haven't already) how things operate in general, so that you can better understand how things are both supposed to operate if they are not working right, OR how to make them operate differently if you need them to (or not operate at all if needed). Basically, learn how to "Hack" (original hardware hacking definition where the term came from). Learn how to make things work with what you have. If you need transportation, and you don't have a working car, and you can't make the changes to make the car work, look for other options and opportunities. I sat there and watched someone hack apart one of the electronic balance board scooters and make a rather substantial motor scooter out of the parts ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYmJzMMRJI ). While I would never bother making it look as good as he did, the process would be similar using the parts to power something else. IF what they are planning is the removal of gas/diesel vehicles, then you can also bet that they will be removing any outlets of those fuels in the areas that they want to control. If this is the case, then one may want to find alternative means of quick (and quiet) movement that does not require these fuels while holding on to their vehicles that DO need those fuels. An electric scooter, or quad, or something like an electric version of the Army's "Mule" would do nicely in "the sticks" once the fuels were hard to get. I've even been playing with making a quad or large street luge out of the motor/gearbox setup of the older Segway X2 series. The original motors were made for a 72V BLDC three phase drive with Hall Effect sensors for feedback so there are a LOT of options for driving them away from the rest of the guts of the segway, and you can get them going a LOT faster than the 12.5MPH that the segways were limited to. Six 12V@18AH AGM batteries (the magic 72V you need for the motors) will power it all day for normal driving now that you aren't blowing a lot of the batteries output trying to keep things balanced like an inverted pendulum. Again, make sure that you keep thinking outside the box. Better yet, BURN THE BOX DOWN and sweep the ashes into the trash.

Lol, here's the meme I made of it...rather 'old' now though, but. 'Btw, that's not a donkey'...or a mule.(LOLOL)

Close - 66! Alaskans have good skin cuz we live in the dark and cold a lot (ha)….and I have a talent for growing hair, lol.
( Mom passed when I was 14 so I did all the driving for the fam on a learners permit - the roads above Anchorage back then were…ummm. …not the norm).ETA: I knew that if I ever got stopped without a full license back then that the cop would understand what i had to do to care for my family.

and they have all wheel drive all the time.
When it doesn't ping the sensors, they will.

Id imagine the new vehicles would have it built into the brain box hardware itself.

And a horse can pull 'guard duty'...sort of...for you while you rest or fix a meal. Just learn what his snorts and sniffles mean and you'll know what's out there that he's sensing. Take dogs for instance...they growl a certain way if another dog comes too close. The growl will change slightly if it's a human and change again if it's some other kind of animal. Lol, and the growl will be totally different if he doesn't know what the heck it is. With all of your pets, you just have to 'listen' to them and learn their 'speech'. They care for you and want to protect you...and will try their best to warn you of danger. You love them and take care of them so they'll love you and do their best to take care of you.

Maybe, the simplest way to defeat any of this crap is to just get an older vehicle. I've run several older vehicles ranging from the 50's to the 90's. Parts are both plentiful and cheap, plus easy to work on.

I admire the simplicity of a KLR 650 and it's on and off road capability.

Anyone remember straight six cylinder 4 speed manual transmission 4x4s? Simple, reliable, and capable for 90% of most folks needs.

There’s a backdoor to everything.
Many years ago we heard there was a backdoor in Microsoft Windows.
We sat idly by and allowed it.
Not that we have a say.

I'm sure glad our forefathers didn't think that. The 13 colonies would be damn crowded.
Yep! I had a 79 F150 with a what they called the Big Six. It was a 300cui. straight Six with a 4 speed and a granny gear. I could walk that thing out of a swamp and pull about anything.
