Conspiracy Theories by Chris Bunton
This is going to sound crazy, but I want to be truthful and straight about it. I really hate when government or business organizations require that I provide a street address and/or a phone number. This has been a recurring theme in my life for years and I’m honestly tired of it.
I don’t want these people calling me or visiting me. Period. The fact that they demand or require that I provide this information before receiving the services attached to it, is basically treating me as though I am guilty of some crime before I do anything. They are assuming they will need to come get me. We seriously need to stop punishing or restricting innocent people for crimes that a few people commit. Punish the guilty not the innocent.
Why else would a government agency, such as the DMV require my street address? I provide a P.O. Box, so they can mail me things if needed. But, that’s not good enough. I must give an actual address. I assume it’s so that they can come get me for some future crime, which I might possibly commit. Neither the government nor a private company has any reason to know where I physically dwell. There are no debtors prisons, where they will come get me and take me to if I don’t pay my bank fees. But, they demand it. I provide them with the info needed to collect any debt. They do not need more.
I realize that if there’s an accident or if you’re dead the address can be used to notify relatives. But, what if you don’t want your relatives to know you’re dead? It should be voluntary to announce your private residence, not required.
I asked the DMV what would happen if I was homeless. Are homeless people not able to have a driver’s license or vehicle license? After the lady at the counter went into a back room for a bit, a man came out and informed me that I would have to provide an address for a church, or homeless shelter or some other place. So, I said, “but then I would have to come back and change my address if I moved, and then change it again if I moved again, sort of like a registered sex offender, right” And that’s basically what it does. It makes us register like a sex offender.
It’s illegal to not change your address on your license every time you move. But, honestly why do they need to know where you live? My address is not proof of identity. Can I get a license with a water bill only? No. But, your bills are proof of where you live. It’s so they can come get you, or tell your people you’re dead or hurt. That is the only real reason I can come up with. Do you realize that if your friends, family or neighbors think there’s something wrong they can have the cops check on you? And apparently this wellness check even bypasses the Constitutional requirement to have a warrant. Yeah.. I know it for a fact. Maybe I will write about that someday.
What if I decided to have a nomadic life style? I would be required to have an address in order to have a license, so how could I exercise my freedom to travel or move around, unless I walk everywhere. Course, if you walk everywhere you will eventually be stopped and asked for ID, which might require an address. I do not mind providing mailing info, or such things needed to do business, but I hate providing my exact location. It’s none of their business where I live. I’m not guilty of anything, and they should not assume I will be guilty in the future.

(I think all the people who have been wrongly convicted and sent to prison would disagree.)
If I register for things online, they often require a telephone number for their free service. Well, it’s not actually free if you are requiring me to pay for a phone, now is it?
This is why Obama decided to give out free phones. It is becoming virtually impossible to do business or get jobs without a phone. And how do you pay for a phone, without a job?
And that brings me to the conspiracy theory. Why do they want or need my phone number? So, they can track us. We all know they are doing it. They= Business and Government.
We sit around and talk about Dog food, and low and behold, we see ads for Dog food on Facebook. Who knows what else these people are doing. They have already proven the sort of stuff they are capable of.
As a conspiracy theorist and a watchman, I know where all this technology is heading. It is ultimately heading to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy with the Mark of the Beast, where all buying and selling is controlled. (Rev. 13:1-18) You will not be able to purchase anything from anyone without having this Mark. That is where this technology is headed. Total control.
Imagine that you are standing in line at the store, and the cashier says, “I’m sorry Miss, but you cannot purchase any food this week. Your funds have been shut down because you made a politically incorrect statement in a phone conversation last week.” (And yes, this sort of Social Credit system is already going in China.) Or they might say “You purchased a bag of rice two weeks ago. You have 3 people in your family, and based upon serving sizes, it is impossible for you to have used up the bag of rice yet. So, you cannot purchase another one until a week from now.” Total control. And that does not even include the loss of our souls..
I pay for things with a check or cash normally, because I’m not a fan of cards. So, I go to Wal-mart and buy my groceries with a check. Normally, there’s no problem, but on occasion they will “randomly” ask for my phone number, which is not on my checks. One time I refused to give it. I said I have no phone. They literally had to shut down the line until a manager came and figured it all out. The computer would not work until a phone number was put into the system. Why? Doesn’t the check reader see that I have the funds available? Why does Wal-mart require that I have a phone? Can I not purchase food without one? I provided a Drivers License number, which is good enough in most places.
Facebook wants my phone number. My email accounts are all going to want my phone number. I found one that doesn’t and I love it, but how long will that last? I have an email account that is locked because I refuse to provide a number. Why do you need it? Are you going to harass me with every email? Are you going to ask me out to the prom? What if I legitimately do not have a phone, or the money to pay for one? Do I have to lie? Do I have to give someone else’s phone number? Is it really that important?
Some will say, “But here you are online having obviously given out tons of info.”
Yes…my hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Well anyway, my life is moving into a more electronic state whether I like it or not. Yes, I could go be Grizzly Adams, and would love it. But, currently that is not an option if I want to function in society as a normal person. So, they are forcing me to provide the info as I get more connected. The thing that makes me feel better is the fact that if they do not have my physical body, then they really do not have me. But, perhaps that is why they will eventually force you to have a mark or a chip implant?
There will be no escape.
