Olympics, shmolympics: The
Independents is coming at you at 9 pm ET, 6 pm PT on Fox
Business Network, and you should totally watch it, or DVR it, or
watch the repeats at midnight and over the weekend, if you are into
things like Bitcoin, evading the National Security Agency, creating
alternatives to the nation-state, and/or digging 140-foot tunnels
in your yard because of the financial crisis.
The “Off the Grid” theme show starts with urban survivalist
Shane Hobel showing
off which tools and gadgets (and mental checklists) are most useful
for various bug-out or bug-in scenarios, should disaster of any
stripe strike. Next,
Brickhouse Security founder/CEO Todd Morris tells you what
(little) you can do to lessen your digital footprint while still
using your beloved devices in this era of near-panopticon
surveillance. Reason.tv
contributor Naomi
Brockwell then explains the alluring and mysterious world of
Bitcoin. Speaking of which, why don’t you watch her two recent
Reason.tv videos right the hell now?
Doomsday Preppers subject
Chad Hudspeth then comes on to explain the joys and motivations
of building tunnels and elaborate hydroponic systems in your desert
compound. Michael Strong, often featured in Reason’s
pages, talks about the latest (promising) developments in the
long-gestating effort to build a “Free
Cities” project in Honduras. Levi Felix (if that is his real
name) will then explain the comedy, science, and romance behind his
“Digital
Detox” camps, and as you might expect the episode also
covers subjects like the Juggalos, alien invaders,
and
centrist paranoia toward the fringes.
Again, that’s 9 pm ET, repeating at midnight, and you can send
your survival tweets to @IndependentsFBN.
