➡ The speaker had their PayPal account cancelled after speaking at an event, but later received a $2,000 refund from their bank for fraudulent charges. They express frustration with the increasing complexity of digital security measures, such as passkeys and biometric authentication, and the push towards using apps. They believe these changes are making the internet less accessible and more expensive, and are part of a move towards a ‘digital prison’. They also mention their dislike for the trend of websites charging for content and the use of QR codes in restaurants.

➡ The speaker discusses their dislike for digital menus, two-factor authentication, and other digital conveniences, preferring traditional methods instead. They also express concern about the increasing reliance on technology and artificial intelligence, fearing it could lead to loss of privacy and authenticity. They encourage others to resist these changes and stand up for their individual choices. The speaker also mentions upcoming topics they plan to discuss, including religious exemptions, controversial laws, and health issues.

Hey, friends, Peggy hall, back with you from thehealthyamerican.org we are talking about digital IDs. You are asking me for more coverage on that. And a few months ago, I did do a deep dive on not only the real IDs, but also what’s happening with your passports and how all of these ID cards, including your driver’s license and your passport, are handled by basically the same company. At the end of this video, I’m going to play for you very short clip from Idemia, which is the company, and you’re going to see how crazy and creepy this really is.

What I’m about to share with you now is a bonus video. It is a replay of a top hit and I’m sharing with you a personal story of how frustrated I’ve been with trying to get my banking sorted out and how I’m constantly being asked to verify codes through my cell phone, even though I’m working online. And how I believe that they are trying to make things so frustrating for us, telling us about data breaches. So we’ll be afraid and we will want to actually beg for digital IDs to keep us safe. You know, it’s all about safety and security, but you know, when they’re calling for safety and security, that is when sudden destruction falls upon us.

So enjoy this brief replay, a top hit of what happened to me. Stay tuned until the end when I play this little clip from Idemia and then stay tuned for my next video, which will be aired on Monday. And that is where I’m going to do a deep dive on Idemia, the company behind the digital IDs, and most importantly, how we can push back. So here is what happened to me today. This is at least the fourth or fifth time that I have had one of my bank cards in fraud. People are using that. I don’t know exactly how they’re getting it.

I don’t know if it’s the bank itself that is just not secure. And it’s very unfortunate because this is a very important card that I need for certain purchases that can’t be done in cash. And I have had this card replaced at least four times. I think this is going to be the fifth time. Now, I believe, and I’ve done videos on this in the past, I believe that I don’t think I’m being singled out as a healthy American, but I believe that there are going to be more and more of these data breaches that we’re going to see again and again and again.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if this credit card says to me, well, because you’ve had so many fraud alerts and fraudulent charges on your card, we are now going to require that you use biometrics. I’ve spoken about that on the channel before. Biometrics are things like your thumbprint, your face, your facial scans, maybe your voice. I don’t know, maybe they want your heart rate or something through a fingerprint scan. And I believe that we are going to hear more and more of these data breaches which. First of all, I remember years ago, I was paying my bill online for my water, and it’s like $47 for the water bill.

It was back then. And in order to get online to pay my water bill, I had to jump through all of these hoops. I had to choose, like, a piece of fruit. That was my special picture. I mean, it was so bizarre, I can’t even describe it. And I’m asking myself, who is going onto my water account to pay my water bill? And if they want to go ahead, pay for it, that’s fine by me. So you’re telling me that you’re making me jump through all of these hoops because the water district thinks that somebody is going to come in and pay my bill and it’s not me.

I thought that was very strange. That had to be at least 10 or 15 years ago now, 20 years ago, when I belonged to a gym and I had a card. And in the old days, you just had a card. Then you had a card, believe it or not, it didn’t even have your picture on it. I’m talking about the old days. All right? Then it had your card and it had your picture on it. Okay? Follow the increments. This is called incrementalism. They get you used to this more and more encroachments on your freedom. Then it went to.

They wanted you to put your fingerprint, and boy, oh, boy, did I resist the fingerprint. And I said, you’ve got my card, you’ve got my picture. You can see it’s me. And they said, and then you used to. Then it had a barcode. That was the next thing. You would pass your ID card with a barcode under the barcode reader. I didn’t like that either. And often I would just wave to the person at the front desk because I made it a point that they would know me and then I wouldn’t have to go through all of that.

But this was at 24 Hour Fitness. You can go to different locations and at the Other locations, they didn’t know me. So bit by bit, I caved and I went through the fingerprint and I felt horrible about doing that. And this was, as I say, a couple of decades ago. I may not have been as awake as I am now or as alert as I am about my identity and the encroachment and the tyranny and all of that, but that is just another step. Now, I have not belonged to any gym since the heyday of 2020, and they shut everything down.

And I’m better off for it. I would rather go into a swimming pool, one that doesn’t restrict my breathing, by the way. And I have not stepped foot in a gym for several years. I wouldn’t be surprised. And let me if you belong to a gym or you know someone that does, are they doing a facial scan? Are they taking a picture of you at the gym? Now, some of you have told me that you’ve gone to the dentist or you’ve gone to the doctor and they wanted you to sign everything electronically. And you’re scrolling through it and you’re signing next, next, next.

You’re not even really realizing what you’re signing. And then at the end, they wanted you to take a picture of yourself on this tablet and some of you declined, Some of you went along with it and you thought, well, they know who I am anyway. They just want to be able to know who. Do you really think that’s it, that you can’t just say, I’m Peggy hall and they look at you and say, no, you’re not. I mean, you have an ID, right? Is it a real ID? I’ve spoken about real IDs on this platform as well.

In a future video, I do want to bring to you a substack from Katherine Austin Fitz. I know not everybody’s a fan of hers. I don’t know that much about her or her work. But some of you have been sending me links to her substack and what I do like is the summary that she has created about the Trump admin acceleration into this digital world. And it can be alarming for many of us that don’t want to go there. But let me finish my thought about what I went through today. And it also affected my my YouTube live stream.

So as I say several times, my card that I need for certain purchases that can’t be done with cash has been compromised. And this last time, when I saw that there were. And you know what’s the weirdest thing? These are usually charges that have to do With Google. Let me know if that happened to you. I have challenged these Google charges over many years. It happened on PayPal back in the day when I was on PayPal. It happened with my own bank account, which was very strange. And I fought these charges and I was victorious. And they start out very small, like a $1 charge and then a $5 charge and then a 50 charge and then a 500 charge.

I had four charges of 500 on my account. And I mentioned this story to you some years ago after PayPal canceled me and they kept my money and Venmo kept my money. I finally got my money from PayPal, but not from Venmo. They, I think 500 or something of money that I cannot access because they canceled my account. And the bank told me initially that those charges were valid. And so I was out about $2,000. I’m like, I can’t believe that I’m going to have more of an investigation because I just don’t think that’s right. It turns out I was mistaken.

And they were still investigating it. But they, their initial investigation showed that there was no fraud. And then they, they did dig deeper. In the meantime, PayPal froze my account to the tune of about $2,000. And it was that they finally released the money because they said that as a healthy American, I was involved in unhealthy, I guess, activities or dangerous activities or you know, the score. All the censorship that happened in the last few years, that happened to me after I spoke on stage at a very well known event. And it was the very following day, I think that everybody that was there, their PayPal accounts were canceled.

But here’s what’s interesting. God works in lovely ways. And about a week after my PayPal account was canceled and I didn’t have access to that money that I desperately needed, the bank informed me that indeed those Google charges were fraudulent. And they said that we reversed those charges. And you now have $2,000 deposited into your bank. How do you like them apples? I had $2,000 stolen from me by PayPal. My bank reversed $2,000 in charges and several months later Pay release my money. I just think that’s amazing. Let me know if that ever happened to you in terms of being blessed with money or other things.

I have. So I got to do a video on that. I have so many amazing stories. Let me make a note. Maybe I’ll do that on Friday. Some of these heavenly hugs that occurred to me, that occurred in my life that were just couldn’t be a coincidence, but here’s what happened. I called the credit card today and they said, oh, we can’t talk to you about this over the phone. You have to wait until we send you a letter. And after you get the letter, then you can reply to what’s going on. I’m like, wait a minute.

My card could be racking up all of these fraudulent charges in the meantime. What do you mean, wait for a letter? This, my friends, is what the march is. This is a march marching us into the digital prison so that I probably on this card, in order for them to issue me another one, they’re going to want me to do a thumbprint. They’re going to want me to do some kind of facial recognition or let me know if you’ve ever heard of the pass key. This is another bait and switch. It’s absolutely ridiculous. The other thing that they’re doing, and I’ll talk about that in just one moment, the other thing they’re doing is pushing you toward an app.

All right, I’m on Zoom right now. That’s how I use this with YouTube. And every time I go on Zoom, it wants me to just use the app, to not use it. It doesn’t even look like a website. It pops up on my computer like a weird, difficult to navigate thing. When I use my cell phone and I’ll go to do an Internet search, it will say, do you want to open the app instead? And I’m like, no, I’m already on the Internet. When I go to any website, it will say, download our app for a better experience.

I don’t believe that. Let me know what you think. I think the apps are another bait and switch that you are going to have to pay for. A lot of these apps you have to pay for. It’s one way of taking away the Internet for free, by the way. The Internet’s not free. I have to pay to have Internet into my home. So, no, it’s not free at all. And I have to pay for my cell phone and I have to pay additionally to have access to the Internet. And there are so many websites that charge you for even reading the information.

I just click right off if I’m on a news site or something and they say, oh, to continue reading, sign up for, you know, a dollar a week. I’m not going to do that. I don’t believe that that should be, you know, restricted on YouTube here, all of my information is free. My substack, all the information is free. I do thank all of those who have done a paid Subscription and then you get something in addition you get a bonus, which is our live private webinars. But the information, I’m not gatekeeping, I’m not holding it from anyone.

So I want you to have this information. So these apps rub me the wrong way. Tell me if you know about the passkey. This is another bizarre way of kind of enslaving us into the digital world. So what is a passkey? Every time I go on a website and I put in my password, such as at the water district, that have to choose a fruit, it’s so bizarre. And now my browser wants to give me its own password that is so convoluted and difficult and lengthy with characters and strange combinations of letters and symbols. And it says, do you want us to store this password on your computer? Well, the whole notion of passwords is bizarre.

Anyone on my computer can access any of my websites, my banking information, anything, because all of those passwords are already stored, whether they’re passwords I created or these new passwords that are being offered to me now. What’s a passkey? Every time I go on a website it says, do you want a passkey instead? First of all, I don’t even like that word. What’s wrong with the password? Why does it have to be a pass key? And I just did a quick search to figure out what exactly is a pass key and we are told that it, let’s see, it is basically just another password and there’s all sorts of problems with it.

And somebody said, I like to always go on Reddit because you can find a lot of good, pretty much uncensored comments there. And people are saying, I work in tech and security and pass keys are incredibly messy even for me. There are syncable and non syncable per device pass keys. So there’s problems with compatibility whether you’re on one computer or another, whether you’re on your phone or your computer. They’re not universally supported across all websites and different applications. They’re all often tied to a specific platform like Apple, okay, I’m on a Mac. Or Google, if you have Google and you’re using their password manager and they’re not easily accessible if you’re using a different browser or a different system.

It says migrating pass keys between different sandboxes. I don’t care for all this jargon. Can be difficult or impossible, potentially leading to being locked in or locked out. It’s very difficult to get recovery and backup if your device that has a pass key stored on it, which is basically a password is lost, stolen, or fails, then all of your access to your accounts can be lost, especially if there’s no other backup or recovery methods in place. So it’s very confusing setting these up. I don’t really know how they work or what they are. Most people don’t.

And that’s part of the problem, is we’re unfamiliar with that technology. We don’t know how it works. We don’t want it to work. We don’t want to change. It can be difficult to locate these pass keys. And the other thing that I’m finding out. So let me tell you my second problem that I had today. Had a problem with the card. When I called, they wouldn’t even help me. They said, you have to wait until we get a letter. They’re going to make it so difficult for me that I’m not going to want to use that card.

Then when I tried to get on Zoom, it told me that I was blocked out and that they were. They had to send authentication code to a different device. Well, I don’t have Zoom on any other device. This is the only device I’m on. I don’t even have it on my phone. And by the way, when I try to get on YouTube, they always want to send an authentication code to my phone that I then have to type into YouTube. Well, I’m already on YouTube. If this sounds confusing, friends, it’s because it is. I finally was able to get on Zoom after many tries and being locked out.

And I believe this is intentional. So that we’ll be so frustrated, we’ll throw up our hands and we’ll say, all right, I’ll do the pa. I’ll do the thumbprint. I’ll do the fingerprint. I’ll do the facial recognition. And I want to hear your comments and what you’re going through. I think it’s rather strange that my phone requires me to have to be password protected, that no one can access my phone unless they go through a password. Why no one’s using it. It’s me and my husband, and if he wants to use my phone, go at it.

I mean, the concept that we were told that this is for your protection is really for our imprisonment, and that’s how I see it. So I want to hear from you and what you’re going through. These data breaches making it so difficult with these passwords so that they are going to usher in this new digital prison. I haven’t coined that phrase, but many people. Okay, Kathy says, I refused. I refused the QR code Reader, remember during all the hogwash and you would go to restaurants, some restaurants still make you do it. They said, oh, we don’t have paper menus because you could get sick by reading a paper menu.

Right. And so what they wanted you to do is use your phone to read the menu using a QR code. Well, myself and many others like me refused to do that. And we said, I want, I need a menu or I’m not going to eat here. Then they would have it on a chalkboard where you could look at it. Right. Swiss says, I read. There she goes. I refuse restaurants that only have digital menus. Curious. Georgia says, I never do the apps. Yeah. For a better experience. It’s not a better experience. That’s what they tell us.

And Swiss says, when I pay a bill on my bank website, they want to send a code to my phone. That’s exactly what they want to do. And Kathy says, I think the passkey is what they give you. You don’t choose it. I think that’s something like that as well. Caitlin chose to turn off the two factor authentication with the Gmail account. Ridiculous. The hoops I had to jump through to get my email open. And it’s not for your safety. It’s too make us frustrated so that we’ll want to do something, you know, more simple. Swiss says, I put a price on the hassle.

If there’s a huge hassle factor, forget it, I’m out. I, I agree. Mian says, why donate? Shouldn’t urgent info be free? I agree with you. Yes. And it at least my info is free. Absolutely everything I teach is available to you. Not everybody wants to do the work, frankly, they want me to help them step by step, like in a personal consultation. That’s totally different. That’s my time and that’s my expertise. All of the information I have is available for free and I hope people will take the time to educate themselves. In fact, I want to bring you some more information about the religious exemption wins and some people who are still struggling.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to get to that this week, but I will have that coming up for you. I’ve got a whole list of videos coming up tomorrow. I’m going to tell you why I’m not talking about the Texas floods, so you’ll want to make sure you tune in for that. Wednesday we’re going to talk about. Yes, you are being lied to. And Thursday I’m going to tell you about a very surprising Florida highway law that’s very Controversial, but it’s something that I am applauding. Next week, I want to talk about fluoride and how the government is pushing back against that.

Luckily, it has nothing to do with the federal government. Fluoride is a local issue. We’re going to talk about the dangers of seed oils or are they dangerous? We’ll talk about that with Dr. Chari. We will talk about the digital control grid, and I’m going to share with you some predictive programming from the 1960s. So that’s what’s coming up this week and next week. All right. Caitlyn says my gym encourages members to use an app and then scan to scan their cell phone to enter the gym. I refuse, and I tell them my phone number to check in.

You know what, Caitlin, I want to applaud you and Swiss and Kathy and Curious Georgia and all of you who are standing up because is truly, this is the best way that we can fight back is individual choices and we push and, you know, we push back and we stand strong. And it needs to be done on an individual basis. Let’s make it difficult for them as well. Like, no, I want you to check my id. I. I can’t do the thumb prints and the facial recognition and all of that. They. Valerie says they want to get everyone dependent on these devices, and most of them are.

Some will never go for it. So you guys can see exactly what I’m talking about. I am going to avoid this, and I’m not going to allow my face to be hijacked. I do have a video editor that sometimes I use when I put titles on my videos or if I have a little additional thing that I want to add to a video. This program is giving me an option to do an AI of me. They would create an AI video of me talking. They take my voice. They’re probably already doing it without my permission. They take my face and they take my voice.

And I could give them a script that says, hey, everybody, it’s Peggy hall, the healthy American, welcome to the live stream. And I would give them the script and they would make a. A video of me saying it. I’m never going to do it. So these are ways that I can push back. In fact, I don’t even know if there’s another video editing system that it doesn’t have that. It is astonishing how quickly this is accelerating. But I also believe that it is going to. The pendulum is going to swing back, just like more and more people are speaking out about what’s going on in the skies.

More and more people were speaking out against fluoride and other things, bringing awareness to this. I believe just like all the big box stores, the Costco and the Sam’s Club, and more and more people wanted to shop locally and do barter and small businesses. I believe that the day will come when authentic people like myself and others are going to be in demand because they don’t want these sub stacks written by AI I can’t believe the number of substacks that I come across. And these articles clearly were not written by the person whose name is there.

It’s AI copied and paste. And I for one, I’m not going to participate. You know, maybe you don’t, but one of my hobbies that I like to do when I am doing a little downtime is I love beauty, I love art, I love decor. And so I’ll watch some shows like the before and after of what they do to people’s homes to make them more comfortable and inviting and so forth. And these designers are using AI I’m not even going to watch those shows anymore. Why would I watch you feed something into AI? So, you know, more and more people are going to have a backlash against that.

I, for one, am not going to participate. It Sam.
