PrepperNet's Prepping Academy | Your Car is Spying on You
Thursday Dec 04, 2025
Thursday Dec 04, 2025
In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin exposes a truth most people never consider — your car is one of the most powerful surveillance devices you own. From built-in GPS trackers and microphones to data-sharing apps and telematics, modern vehicles quietly collect your movements, contacts, driving habits, and even conversations.
Forrest breaks down how automakers, insurers, and tech partners harvest massive amounts of personal data every time you start the engine. He explains how this information is sold, traded, and stored — creating a complete digital dossier of your life behind the wheel. Most drivers have no idea their car knows where they sleep, work, and worship… and who’s in the passenger seat.
You’ll also discover practical steps to reduce exposure — from disabling unnecessary connections and removing old paired phones, to deleting stored navigation data and limiting app permissions. Forrest introduces Privacy4Cars, a powerful tool designed to help you erase personal information from your vehicle before it’s sold, rented, or serviced.

She commanded up to 80,000 pirates and 1,800 ships — more warships than most countries had in 1809.
She crushed the Chinese, Portuguese, and British navies… then retired undefeated, filthy rich, and opened her own casino.
Meet Zheng Yi Sao (also known as Ching Shih) — history’s most successful and most feared pirate of all time.
From a floating brothel in Canton to the undisputed empress of the South China Sea, this is the insane true story of how one woman turned tragedy into the largest pirate confederation the world has ever seen — the legendary Red Flag Fleet.
In this episode you’ll discover:
• How she went from sex worker to pirate queen in under two years
• The brutal (but genius) pirate code she enforced
• The naval battles that humiliated three empires
• How she negotiated the greatest surrender deal in pirate history
• What happened to her massive fortune and why you’ve probably never heard her name
If you think Blackbeard or Jack Sparrow were badass… wait until you meet the real Pirate Queen.

Thursday Dec 04, 2025
Good morning, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it’s a chilly 47-degree start to the day.

In Episode 231, Dave records a lengthier episode early for the holiday weekend and starts the show discussing the presence of ICE in Charlotte resulting in 20% of the student population not showing up. From there, he reviews the latest in a long line of corruption in the Democratic Party. First up is a Dem Rep stealing $5M in FEMA funds followed by an Arizona Dem stealing $63M in Covid funds. Dave returns to Congress because it seems Hakeem Jeffries (aka the Brooklyn Barack Obama) was soliciting donations from Epstein and MTG may have ties to George Soros and other previously undisclosed issues with being in Congress. The toxic politic topics continues with Killary and her latest comments regarding a nationwide announcement that Trump had been unalived which forces Dave to have a little thought experiment regarding a possible trigger for CW2. Speaking of possible triggers, Dave takes some time to discuss the Seditious Six and their little video. After that, there is a discussion of the nation’s financial sector, a possible rate cut in December, and new IRS tax code thresholds. Also, it seems we’re going to have a resurgent GOP once Trump is out of office because the Bush family is planning to retake the party back. After all of that domestic news, Dave closes the show by reviewing a video of an American citizen being detained at the airport in England and charged with terrorism because he ridiculed Islam and Elon Musk add a new feature to ‘X’ that exposes account locations.
