I live the same kinda life Max. I gave up on the system 20+ years ago. Stopped taking part in the game and have lived free ever since.
It's for sure getting harder by the day as the control systems tighten.

If you read Martin Armstrong's blog he explains that the poles flipped causing the flood/mudslides worldwide (I think I remember 700,000 years ago) and we are due for another flip as EVERYTHING is a CYCLE, from war to religion and everything in between.

So putting the pieces together. "The Ark" or "the Elites" knew back then that the poles were due to flip so they took all the technology (we were very advanced) and kept it along with themselves safe.

When the mud settled they just built on top and started all over but they had the knowledge and became the Elite/Royal Ruling Families.

Maybe we have had more than one pole flip.

All we do know is everything is backwards, upside down or a total lie.
