Now that some states, like mine, have lifted the stay-at-home orders, I wanted to share how I have managed these orders from day one. And what my family and I intend to do as a result of what we have experienced during the past 2 months. Plus, how do we help others see the reality around us? I share that with you as well.

As the COVID-19 'Scamdemic' continues, it is time to re-think what we stand for and who we are. I got news of businesses I used to frequent, shutting down left and right. Yet, the big box retailers never missed a beat and are still open. I have switched into full boycott mode and decided it is time to bring back our economy by doing what is right. Shop at local independent stores. Support the local economy... anything that puts money back in the local community. Support these people, and yourself. 

I have decided to not only boycott the big businesses, but also boycott people and the establishment that supports them, like celebrities, musicians, sports figures... anyone and anything that goes against my fundamental beliefs and rights as a human. It is time to stop this nonsense and move on with our lives.

This COVID-19 is shrouded in a hoax to keep us in fear for agendas beyond our beliefs. Look at what has happened in Wall Street 2 months before COVID-19 was even a thing... billions of dollars were funneled to Wall Street for a bail-out. And they want more. Something simply does not add up, folks. 

If there is one very obvious thing about technology, it would be tehat there is simply too much of it. Let me be clear. I love technology. I have been a part of it since I was 14 years old back in 1980 and my dad got me my very first computer. Since then, I was hooked. And I worked in and around technology ever since. I still do today. But it is evident that technology has taken a strange turn against us in the past decade alone. It is getting progressively worse. So what can we do about it? Simple. Time to shed off some of that tech that does not serve us well.

I have been doing this since last year, and life has been much more relaxed than that of my friends, relatives and colleagues. I am less stressed and spend more time "living". Technology no longer controls me. I control it. And I will share a bit about what I have done with you. And then go more in-depth in future podcast episodes.

Let's talk about the MiAGon Daily Show Reboot. After the initial MiAGon Podcast Show launch a few years ago and 24 episodes, a long-term hiatus and what I called an unsatisfactory reboot of 3 episodes, I thought it was time to give the entire show a full reboot. I talk about what I plan to do and why. 

I also start off with the world's most popular topic today: COVID-19. I share what I feel about it, what I encountered in mainstream and alternative media, and put the perspectives together to form a new narrative on what is really going on. No spoiler alerts, here... just my opinion and analysis from factual data we have today.

Welcome back!

Technology is all around us. And it has served us well. Or so we think. While I enjoy technology like most people do, I do see the problems associated with its abuse by global corporations who no longer value our privacy or rights. I have been a big proponent of tech but in recent years, I have started to phase it out in areas of my life where it serves no purpose. 

I slowly began to do away with excess technology usage in June of 2019. And continue to do so. By getting rid of AI and smart home devices such as the Echo and Google Home, I have been able to live much more comfortably with alternatives. From X10 remote devices at home that perform the same functions as smart devices, without the dependency of the internet, to open sourced solutions in tablets, PCs and even phones. 

The last move was doing away with smart phones and reverting to flip phones that offer EXACTLY what I need. There is nothing so urgent it cannot wait for me to get home and look up on my computer. I live more relaxed as I disconnect from the crazy rat race that gives us nothing but stress as we constantly compete with the world for status. This is not what humanity is all about. And technology is making these things worst.

I share what I did and offer some alternative solutions to help you de-tech, too!

COVID-19 is probably one of the most impactful pandemics our current generation has experienced. But is the hype real? Is it really as bad as it is made to appear? A little digging through sources, employing main-stream media news, reveals that the math, and the science, behind it simply does not add up. Professionals in the field of medicine are coming out with information that contradicts what the general public knows about this pandemic. And people are slowly realizing there is more to this than just a novel coronavirus. 

On this episode, I share some startling news about the numbers as well as information we need to consider the next time someone starts to publish numbers and details about the spread of the virus. You will be surprised at just how easy it is to see through the vale of lies by simply looking at numbers and listening to the professionals on the battlegrounds: the hospitals and medical establishments. 

Stop listening to credentialed and non-practicing shills who are giving you false information about this pandemic. You must fact-check things yourself. Stop getting spoon-fed by the main-stream media who is simply looking for ratings through perpetual fear mongering. It is time to wake up.

The MiAGon Podcast Show has been rebooted with an entirely new format. From the original format of a couple of lengthy episodes per week, to more daily content about up to the minute topics. The past few months have been challenging world-wide and the current "lock-down" situation has allowed me time to take a closer look at what I am doing with my life. From the long hiatus the show took after just 24 episodes, I wanted to revive it. This is the reason why I never shut it down despite the lack of new content. I want to bring a whole new perspective of life to the rest of you. I hope you enjoy the new format. 

 We live in a fascinating world. In fascinating times. We have just about anything we want at our disposal. And, yet, often go about things the wrong way.  

 Have you been able to spot the contradictions in our society? You know the one, where corporate America leads you down two distinctive opposite tracks simultaneously? And the signals are so mixed that the average person cannot make the distinction because of other distractions along the way. 

 Our society is literally made up of contradictions and each player in the game have their own agenda. Somehow they manage to bring it all together and despite all odds, they make it work. So what exactly am I talking about? Let's take 3 corporations, for example, and I will show you how they have their own agenda but manage to collaborate an illusion that most of America falls victim to. Let's take an educational institute, a prestigious company and a mega retailer for this example. The educational institute will sell you the dream of higher pay when you get the right education. But what is the right education? By who's standards? Who creates such trends? Well, actually, there are 2 players in this game: the educational institute and bankers, the one who will give you a loan that ties you down for a very long time.  In fact, you will notice that the banker is always behind every concept society tries to sell you:  Get an education... get a student loan. Live the American Dream and buy a house... get a mortgage loan. Show off your success with a luxury car... get a car loan. Enjoy the world, buy an RV... get an RV loan. Travel the world, get a time share... get a loan for that, too. Live in luxury, not enough liquidity in your assets?  get a credit card or personal loan. Want more? get an equity line of credit on your home's equity. The opportunities to make you spend are phenomenal.  So back to the educational institute. They sell you the idea of obtaining a degree to make more money. So you get a loan, go to school, get a degree, and then hope, that it pays off. It is a gamble. I have known people with degrees that do not match what they do in real life simply because the illusion that was sold to them was quite different. But for some, it works quite well. Those who made that concept work may land a great job at a prestigious company... the one everyone wishes they can work for. So they land a great position with great pay. But they still have a student loan to pay off.  What do most people do? Create more debt. They want to show their success by buying a house and furnishing it. Getting a nice car. And enjoying life. But the pay is not enough to take care of all that and pay off the student loan. Where does the third corporation come in? That is the mega retailer who will spend enormous amounts of money in advertising and marketing to make you spend yours.  And there you have it... the contradiction of our society. Let me share something without even mentioning the company's name. There is a large mega retailer that claims to make your life better by saving you money. The concept is that you get more for your money so you can live better than you are living today. Already figured it out?  

 How do we gain focus in a world that seems so chaotic. Let's talk about our ability, or may the inability, to focus. And let's talk about distractions. And, can we use one to create the other? 

Distractions are annoying. They make us lose focus.  Ever tried to focus through distraction? Not really a play on words, but the actual act of intentionally distracting yourself in order to focus. Sounds pretty strange. But it is actually easier than you think.  

I learned to drive in the streets of Miami. If you have ever been there, you know how crazy it can be. There are two aspects to my early driving years: fortunate, because my father and older brother have amazing driving skills. My older brother, in particular, was into racing, so I learned a great deal from him. My father, who still drives at age 89, but slowly avoiding it because of night vision issues, was amazing at defensive driving. He has never been in an at-fault accident. The minor fender benders he has been in are by other drivers. Which I cannot see how since he drives a full-size SUV you can see coming a mile away. The unfortunate part? They are both impatient and fast drivers with mad skills. I spent enough time with them to become a very aggressive driver myself. Despite all that crazy driving of mine I have always been extremely respectful of other drivers: I do not cut them off or do anything that may potentially cause an accident by inexperienced drivers. But this level of consideration with aggressive driving is not a good mix. When others with aggressive driving skills do stupid things in front of me, it unleashes a monster. I get really aggravated and that speed demon emerges. I would definitely say there is an ego about me and driving. It seems that my ego lives in my car.  I would try to spend an entire day driving 'normally', if there is ever such a thing. You know, taking it easy, driving within speed limits and obeying all traffic laws. But I could not make it past 2 miles without someone doing something very stupid in front of me.  

I found that the best way to focus was to distract myself. You see, when I get in the car I have one thought in mind... to get to my destination. There is nothing else to keep me focused, so it is easy to get carried away by other drivers and their antics.  I found that by listening to podcasts and audiobooks, it grabs my attention and allows me to dismiss anything else. It puts my focus on what I am listening by distracting my attention from the exterior. Music does not have the same effect. I realized that we often shut out music because we hear the same songs all the time.   Other effects of music listening, as I have noticed, is that we tend to associate an event, action, or emotion to songs over time, which can impact us while we drive. POdcasts and audiobooks, on the other hand, have new content so we tend to focus a little more on that. It is no different than having a conversation... and often safer, as you do not have to respond to someone.  But be cautious. Humans cannot multi-task, regardless of what you have been told. Sure there are the rare cases where someone wit special skills can do two things at once... but that is a rarity. So if having conversations in a car distracts you, you may want to avoid podcasts and audiobooks as well. But the distraction trick to allow me to focus keeps me cool and relaxed during my commutes. Keeps me and everyone around me safe.
