Biodigital Convergence
What You Can Do
Working at the municipal and state level is the most effective way to dismantle the Biodigital Convergence by connecting with your local leaders through email, phone calls and in person meetings (City Council members, mayors, state legislators, governors, etc.) Educate them on this topic and pressure them to dismantle any SMART City infrastructure or SMART City initiatives. Organize locally and form groups. Meet together regularly in person. Approach leaders as a unified group or individually. Take things offline and do more in person!

“My solution is an ethics committee of concerned citizens who educate everyone in their neighborhoods of the Biodigital Convergence/Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno/loBNT experiment. Once everyone is educated, anyone who questions the material could join. An ethics committee could organize properly and in my opinion, first and foremost should be organizing for the removal of the SMART Cities infrastructure. We have more power at the municipal level than anywhere else in our government. If our municipalities weren't willing to remove the infrastructure, everyone would finally be "Awake" enough to remove it themselves. Very difficult to get this entire infrastructure in if everyone knew what was actually happening. We're playing backwards showing people what technofascists have already done. We must stop what they plan to do in the very near future.”

As we have read in the information provided above, the Biodigital Convergence poses health risks and security risks, violates our right to privacy, and violates our bodily sovereignty. We did not ask for, nor do we approve of nanomachines embedding in our brains, bones or DNA. We do not want people unknown to us remotely controlling our genome, our behaviors, or our lives. We will not allow the building of an infrastructure that supports or promotes this.

“Communitarianism”is a word which best fits how Smart City programs are being rolled out. Communitarianism gives the illusion that a community is deciding things, when it’s actually assigned people or groups speaking in place of the public voice.

“We are an unaffiliated group of local residents…We do not agree with arriving at a ‘Consensus’ through being steered into predetermined outcomes by trained facilitators either working for the council or public/private partnerships. We deem this to be against the public interest and an affront to democracy.”
-Mark Windows
