Freedom Apps, Blockchain and Crypto Projects for Digital Liberty

What are YOUR favorites? - Crowdsourcing an update to "Government" - The Biggest Scam in History... Exposed!

Etienne Note: This article is syndicated from my book: “Government” - The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! I am about to update this section for a new digital version to be released soon. I would like to “Crowd Source” this update. Are any of our trusted apps suspect? Did we forget anything? What are YOUR favorites?

Flash Drives - We think the most important freedom app is the flash drive. With the organized crime government and their cartel companies now openly censoring search results on Google, YouTube, Reddit, Wikipedia, and other video and social media platforms, Amazon beta-testing digitally burning books on their “Kindle” and “Fire” platforms, and DARPA openly researching how to use AI to censor and takedown content widely, videos, and even websites, having a back-up of the evidence of “government” and media criminality and the best books and documentaries on the ideas of liberty is crucial.

The Liberator - www.Government-Scam.com/Liberator - The Art of Liberty Foundation’s collection of flash drives and Dropboxes that both expose the organized crime’s illegitimacy, illogic and criminality and provide the healthy alternatives or voluntaryism, free markets, tolerance, and peace. The Liberator drives includes the ePub of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History... Exposed! with active links of this book and a curated curriculum of the best books, short videos, and documentaries to take someone from “0-60” on the most important topics in the world. You can download for free at Government-Scam.com/Liberator and burn your own for friends and family!

Hardware Solutions - Computing and Mobile Phones

Puri-sm - Librem are the first high-end Linux-based laptops and smartphones where the owner is in control and has complete visibility into the operating system, all bundled software, and the deeper levels of the computer with hardwire switches to turn off the microphone and camera.

Above Phone - a complete privacy phone solution powered by degoogled operating systems, free and open source apps, and open-source privacy services.

Above Book - a fully configured, optimized, and secured Linux system for end-consumers. It uses the Arch Linux operating system which is lightweight and performant with optimal control.

Encrypted & Uncensorable Communications

- Because organized crime “governments” are spying on their populations the same way the Nazis, Russians, and East Germany Stasi did (which is another proof of criminality), it is important to shield your communications through encryption. All communications apps running on Apple IOS, Android and Microsoft devices remain vulnerable to the operating systems being compromised and the device being “screen scraped” before encryption/transmission or after decryption at the receiving end.

Privacy Expert Rob Braxman ranked the top 7 encrypted messaging apps in the video above. His list, which is not comprehensive but somewhat limited to the most popular, ranks the top 7 apps from WORST to BEST: 7. WhatsApp (worst) 6. Telegram 5. Signal 4. Threema 3. XMPP 2. Briar 1. Session

Telegram - Untrusted, semi-encrypted messaging for Android, IOS, and web. Client apps are open source, but their server side is not yet but promised. Ability to run large group chats. Caught censoring our channel in 2022 under the guise of intellectual property.

Tor Browser - Warning: Developed by Navy & NSA, rumored to populate exit nodes.

XMPP - a 20 year old decentralized, free, and open protocol with many servers, clients, and users. Offers end-to-end encryption, voice calls, and video calls. (https://takebackourtech.org/xmpp-comeback), XMPP service is offered by Above Privacy Suite (https:// abovephone.com/suite).

Completely Untrusted: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp - Owned by Fedbook

Operating System & Computing Alternatives - Microsoft Windows, Google Android, and Apple IOS are untrusted operating systems. Edward Snowden released NSA slides mocking Apple iPhone users for giving them their data and revealing that the NSA has direct access into Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, YouTube and Apple.

Debian - Free and open source non-Windows/Apple OS

Tails - Private Debian-based operating system you can run on your existing Apple/Windows PC that boots up off a flash drive or DVD allowing you to bypass the existing OS.

Censorship-Resistent and (ideally) Distributed File Storage

Qortal - Decentralized, next generation internet and fair worldwide trustless cryptographic economic system.

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) – Censorship-resistant distributed file system,

SyncThing - Open source, decentralized data synchronization

Vericrypt - free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.

Ripley, Prey, and uLocker – Tools that instantly secure and encrypt corporate servers, laptops and tablets when government agents enter a business.

Open Source (some decentralized) Social Media and Video Sharing Platforms

The goal is to have a trusted open-source social media and video hosting platform that ideally pays/revenue shares with creators in crypto with good governance and treasury and is decentralized so that it can’t be taken down by any organized crime governments. If the platform is enforcing DMCA and can censor content ad-hoc then we don’t consider it “decentralized”, but we would accept community standards (no child pornography, snuff films, etc.) enforced by random assignment to a community jury in a transparent process.

Mastadon - Decentralized, open-source micro-blogging engine that you can run on your own server.

Bastyon.com (Our Page)- Open source and decentralized social media platform with crypto payments

Too Suspicious to List: GAB (Our Page) and Dissenter -Failed our testing, suspicious founder, too much mainstream press,

Cryptocurrency Exchanges - Non-Know Your Customer (KYC) Crypto Exchanges - “Know Your Customer” is a law passed by the organized crime US government requiring US-based crypto exchanges, banks, and brokerages to capture driver’s license, and other identifying information so everyone can be tracked, traced, and taxed. Here is a list of crypto exchanges that don’t require KYC: https://fuk.io/no-kyc-exchanges-list/

Sideshift.ai and Changelly.com- On-the-fly crypto exchanges that are alternatives to ShapeShift, which now requires KYC. Local Bitcoin Cash and Local Monero - A way of buying and selling Bitcoin Cash and Monero anonymously where participants can meet in person (or transact over the internet) and buy/sell without KYC requirements now that LocalBitcoins. com requires KYC and did away with in-person trades.

Cryptocurrency Mixers and Tumblers

A cryptocurrency tumbler or cryptocurrency mixing is a service offered to mix potentially identifiable cryptocurrency funds with others, with the intention of confusing the trail back to the fund’s original source. Tumblers have arisen to improve the anonymity of crypto-currencies and typically charge a small fee for the service.

XMR.to - A service that allows you to spend anonymous monero with merchants that only accept Bitcoin by allowing you to send Monero and specify the address of the payee who will be sent BTC.

BCH CashShuffle and Cashfusion - CashShuffle anonymizes your coins by mixing them. CashFusion allows you to put those coins back together without ruining the privacy. With CashShuffle, your coins are split up into smaller amounts. You can’t put those coins back together or spend them together without ruining the privacy. Cash Fusion fixes that by letting you put your coins back together and keep your privacy.

Anonymous  Digital  Cash Projects

Unlike Bitcoin, whose transactions are visible on a public blockchain, anonymous digital cash refers to crypto-currency projects that use a variety of technologies to obfuscate the origins, amounts and destinations of all transactions while maintaining the decentralized nature that prevents take-downs and the verifiability of transactions that prevents double-spending, counterfeiting and inflation

Monero - Monero uses multiple technologies to obfuscate the origins, amounts, and destinations of all transactions. Decentralized https://blog.quarkslab.com/security-audit-of-monero-randomx.html

Epic Cash - Epic Cash is a mimble wimble-based privacy coin that fragments transactions using the coinjoin method. The coin was born with a clean pedigree (No pre-sales) and can be mined on ASIC, CPU, and GPU machines. http://epic.tech/whitepaper

ZCash - Like Bitcoin, Zcash transaction data is posted to a public blockchain, but unlike Bitcoin, Zcash ensures that personal and transaction data remain confidential. Zero-knowledge proofs allow transactions to be verified without revealing the sender, receiver or transaction amount. Selective disclosure features within Zcash allow a user to share some transaction details, for purposes of compliance or audits.

Swarm.City – Decentralized marketplace for services paid with crypto. (Working Beta)

Forra.io - front-end for Ebay vs. a marketplace of its own. You can list and sell items only there. no search function for things listed directly on Forra, it only has a search for items on Ebay. Also, sellers don’t have a store for their products.

Darknet/Deepweb/Onion Markets - Darknet markets are accessed through the TOR Browser which bounces requests through multiple serves to obscure IP addresses. It is believed that the intelligence agencies are monitoring exit nodes. Please suggest TOR alternatives through our ProtonMail account or Trello board.

Mesh Networking

Mesh networks are IP networks that use commodity wi-fi routers whose range can be enhanced by homemade directional antennas / even “cantennas” made from Pringles cans to create networks if the organized crime government turns off or censors the internet. Hong Kong protesters are using the Bridgefy app to create mesh networks using their cell pho’s bluetooth connections.

Cell 411 - Crowdsource your emergency! Phone app and optional panic buttons that broadcast your emergency to your custom list of friends, family, neighbors, and/or Five Group/Freedom Cell. Etienne Note: I believe this is one of the most important projects for liberty as it could potentially organize responses to police and “government” tyranny larger than the police/”government” response. The project has fallen into disrepair after its creator fell on hard times. It really needs a reboot. We would be willing to take this on if funding materialized.

Finding Others

The Freedom Cell Network - Freedom Cells are peer-to-peer groups organizing themselves in a decentralized manner with the collective goal of asserting the sovereignty of group members through peaceful resistance and the creation of alternative institutions.

PrepperGroups.com & PrepperLink.com - Websites that help new survivalists find survivable retreats or partnerships

IMPORTANT: These recommendations for trusted and secure alternatives are a compilation of suggestions from the author and members of the Art of Liberty Foundation community. The author(s) are unable to vouch 100% for the security of even open source projects because we currently lack the resources to investigate/verify the code bases, but we could if funding developed (Serious Inquires Only).
