What is the Brushfires of Freedom Tour?

This tour is inspired by the quote attributed to Samuel Adams.  Although no records exist of him uttering those exact words, they are certainly consistent with his beliefs and actions.  This tour is intended to encourage, uplift and train people to stand up, speak up, and keep the "Fire of Liberty" burning brightly.

Your Presenter

Dr. Jon Padfield

Jon is an engineer, turned State Representative, turned award winning Business Professor - who hosts the YouTube channel, Business Reform.

Event Format

These are FREE events!

I am underwriting ALL costs associated with this tour.   This tour is about spreading ideas, and connecting with like minded people, not making money.

Main Presentation

This will be a  live presentation related to privacy issues from Flock Safety Cameras popping up all over the country to Clear Force tracking employees in real time 24/7 to Palantir being hired to compile dossiers on literally everyone in the country.  I will be sharing tools and tips that anyone can implement to increase their privacy and shield themselves from some forms of surveillance.  My goal is to MAKE PRIVACY NORMAL AGAIN and we will start by examine the threats to our privacy then discussing what can be done about it.


I will be sharing tool such as FOIA requests that can be used to combat some of the invasion of our privacy and seeking your input for new ideas to help restore our privacy.

Q&A Time

These events are very interactive and there will be ample time for Q&A during and following the presentation.
