I hate to draw more attention to this but I see news of the Elon/Trump interview being 'ddosd' in many Freedom Channels. Don't yall know by now that people who run psychological operations understand the Streissand effect?

Making your political interview seem like its getting censored and creating artificial scarcity (omg only 200K could watch it) is the cheapest way to promote it - and unfortunately a lot of people are falling for this high school level psychology and promoting it further.

There's no proof of a DDOS, Elon is never going to release the logs, and Twitter itself was not DDOS'd as people could still access it during the stream. This is just Elon's incompetence at work.

And reminder that Twitter is probably behind the DDOS of alternative Twitter clients: https://diygod.cc/twitter-ddos?locale=en

So are people coming to grips with the fact that Kamala Harris/Biden are being funded/supported by the left-leaning Big Tech bro's like Google's Eric Schmidt?

And Trump/Vance are being supported by the right-leaning Big Tech bro's like Elon, Peter Thiel, David Sacks?

Guess what else? Thiel and Schmidt are both steering committee members of the Bilderberg Group.

No matter which corporate party wins, America is getting a Bilderberg-approved president.

I remember when I first woke up in 2009 people understood that a politician attending Bilderberg was cause for suspicion. if they were a literal steering committee member that would definitely raise red flags!

Now, most people just make excuses, attack me for pointing it out and think they are awake.

Just like how Google maps replaced our ability to remember how to travel from point A to B, I fear we will lose part of our creativity outsourcing it to AI. Your thoughts?

⚑️UPCOMING: Telegram CEO's Arrest, Is Telegram Still Safe?
@takebackourtech

I have been following the news of Durov's arrest, all signs point to him genuinely protecting user data.

But now that he is in custody, is that user data at risk? How much of it does he have?

New article & video out Monday.

This past week I've been building a new studio and I think it came out pretty well.

However you may notice besides my sacred geometry lamps that I don't have anything behind me?

What should I put on the shelves?

⚑️Telegram CEO's Arrest, Is Telegram Still Safe?
@takebackourtech

My deep dive video into Telegram, with a focus on historical context. After the news of Durov's arrest, all signs point to him genuinely protecting user data.

But now that he is in custody, is that user data at risk? Will he be forced to turn it over to the authorities?

Since this is my first deep dive video, please let me know what you think of the format in the comments below!

Announcing the Independent Media Alliance:

Myself, Whitney Webb, and Ryan Cristian are organizing an alliance of independent media specifically focused on individuals who have been consistently correct and principled in their reporting on 3 core issues:

1. COVID1984
2. Israeli's assault on Palestine
3. The Two-Party Deception

We are reaching out to several people who fit this bill with the intention of forming an alliance.

Our reasoning behind this is related to concerns that already rampant social media censorship will continue to sideline critical voices of dominant narratives as well as concerns that it is important to organize to promote voices and viewpoints that focus more on directly tackling dangerous policy agendas (i.e. digital ID, CBDCs, etc.) and not on promoting branded politicians and related distractionary drama.

Some of the potential actions we are considering include:

1. A weekly/biweekly joint newsletter to highlight alliance members work relevant to exposing the agendas above, particularly over the next 2 months as we approach the U.S. election

2. Weekly or biweekly panel conversations about these topics

3. Joint investigations highlighting the co-opting of the "freedom movement" and how the U.S. election is playing a role.

We are specifically only interested in collaborating with people who were correct - from the beginning - on the above issues.

Invitations to this small alliance have already been sent and more will likely be sent.

To those in the audience who see the insanity that we see:

Hold tight to your critical thinking. We are going to do our best to unite the indie media outlets and individuals who still have principles to collaborate on how we can pushback against the quickly emerging "Mainstream Alternative Media".

We need your support now more than ever. Stay tuned for details of how to support.

⚑️Durov Out Of Police Custody, Awaiting Trial
@takebackourtech

β€œAn investigating judge has ended Pavel Durov’s police custody and will have him brought to court for a first appearance and a possible indictment,” a statement from the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

Allegations against the Russia-born Durov, who is a French citizen, include that his platform is being used for child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking, fraud and abetting organized crime transactions, and that Telegram refused to share information or documents with investigators when required by law.

⚑️Signal CEO Interviewed By Wired
@takebackourtech

Signal is capitalizing on the whole Telegram situation by making the rounds on tech journalism liked Wired and Gizmodo. These outlets make Signal out to be some sort of anarchist hacker startup founded in some basement. This interview she did with Gizmodo gave her a bunch of softball questions, some interesting tidbits in there though:

- it costs $40M a year to run Signal. Nobody bothers to ask where the money comes from. 🧐
- she protested against the DOD drone contract for the US military, and left her job at Google for that

Telegram Founder & CEO Charged with Wide Range of Crimes in France

Pavel Durov, the entrepreneur who founded the online communications tool Telegram, was charged on Wednesday (Aug. 28) in France with a wide range of crimes related to illicit activity on the app and barred from leaving the country.

It was a rare move by legal authorities to hold a top technology executive personally liable for the behavior of users on a major messaging platform, escalating the debate over the role of technology companies in online speech and the limits of their responsibility.

Mr. Durov, 39, who was detained by French authorities on Saturday (Aug. 24), was placed under formal investigation on a range of charges, including complicity in managing an online platform to enable illegal transactions; complicity in crimes such as enabling the distribution of child sexual abuse material, drug trafficking and fraud; and a refusal to cooperate with law enforcement.

Laure Beccuau, the Paris prosecutor, said in a statement that Durov had been ordered to pay bail of 5 million euros, or about $5.5 million, and was released but must check in at a police station twice a week.
