The government is tracking you.

Here’s HOW they do it and WHY you should care.

@NaomiBrockwellTV has a popular YouTube channel where she points out that the government constantly spies on us, using data that apps collect via our phones.

But these apps “make my life easier,” I push back, “Convenience matters!”

“But privacy is important,” explains Brockwell. “The government is purchasing all this data about us. They’re creating records about all of us, and that’s a really scary thing.” “That data is forever … You have no control over what societal norms might change in the next 10 years and that data suddenly becomes incriminating. You’re basically making a bet that you and the people with the guns will always stay on good terms.”

In my video above, she explains why that’s not a good bet to make.

The government tells us 33 million Americans suffer from food insecurity! Really? 33 million Americans are hungry?

“That’s just not true,” says Rachel Sheffield, a researcher at The Heritage Foundation. “’Food insecure’ adults are more likely to be consuming too many calories rather than too few,”.

The government always tries to create a crisis.  “Government programs tend to want to keep themselves going,” says Sheffield. But their handouts harm the very people they are meant to help.

“We’ve spent more on the war on poverty than all the military wars combined in the United States without any success.” The result? Increased dependency on government!

Expanding the welfare system seems to be the government’s main goal. The food insecurity myth and others, like “food desserts,” are debunked in this video.
