Watching politicians and Americans celebrate "250 years of freedom" on the 4th of July inspired this video!

All these very real and tangible infringements aside, I do believe freedom begins and ends in our consciousness—and that the first step toward achieving it is breaking free of the illusion that anyone has the right to rule over you...even if you voted for them and there's a revered piece of paper (the Constitution) with special rituals saying this authority is legitimate.

Still doesnt solve the government existing problem. Israel or not, DC still enslaves Americans👇

By John Titus

In early November, Solari published my review of Iain Davis’s book, The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship—a book I consider an absolute must-read.

Davis is an independent investigative UK journalist and author who publishes at his own wesbite as well as at other New Media outlets such as Unlimited Hangout. The Technocratic Dark State is his fourth book. As I wrote in my review, The Technocratic Dark State “provided so many penny-drop moments that I lost count of them.” For that reason, I was eager to do an interview with him to dive into some of his most critical insights.

Our discussion starts with how money creation relates to the “tech bros,” with Davis’s compelling argument being that the partnership between old-line money creators and Big Tech facilitates two important goals: the continuation of U.S. dollar hegemony and central control of the population. We also explore the concept of “interoperability,” a term I once wrongly dismissed as an empty buzzword.

From there, we take a look at the so-called Dark Enlightenment, consider the tech bros’ use of deception, and discuss features of the digital gulag, including digital IDs, as well as Davis’s ideas about how to resist.

On the topic of resistance, Davis fittingly ends his book with a useful reminder from 16th-century French philosopher and magistrate Étienne de La Boétie:

“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”

George Romero nailed it with this scene. Nearly every time I go in public, this scene becomes all too real. Zombies are real, and they live among us, operating on nothing more than the most primitive of instincts, CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME.

I will add a caveat on metadata. A GrapheneOS photo should not have any metadara at all when taken from the camera. That is the point of a privacy phone OS. EXIF is another tool to help fight fake images in addition to a trained eye. There is too much crap being flooded into the system. We can no longer take things as true when looking at photos.

Emancipate your mind from mental slavery

Why care about Freedom? Why care about privacy? Why does any of this matter?

You are not immortal, and you can be fooled from time to time. This is okay, admitting it is much more important than being right all the time. Admitting you are wrong, and can be is the very thing that allows you to escape the prison of lies. In fact, admitting it can do a great deal of good in helping free other people from false illusions...

US military running Bitcoin node to test national security applications, admiral tells Congress

The U.S. government is running a node on the Bitcoin network as part of military testing around cybersecurity and network defense, according to Admiral Samuel Paparo, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific.

Paparo made the remark during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday in response to questions from Lance Gooden, R-Tx., about Bitcoin’s national security implications.

“Presently we’re in experimentation,” Paparo said. “We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We’re not mining Bitcoin, we’re using it to MONITOR...
