BREAKING: Pagers Explode Across Lebanon in Israeli Attack Against Hezbollah w/ Elijah J. Magnier

At least nine people were killed, and nearly 3,000 wounded, according to the latest reports, after pagers that were used by Hezbollah members exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday.

Lebanon's information minister said the government condemned the attack as an act of “Israeli aggression,” and Hezbollah blamed Israel, and said it would receive “its fair punishment.”

Veteran Journalist Elijah J. Magnier noted that the affected pagers appear to be from a shipment that Hezbollah received recently that had gone through multiple checkpoints in multiple countries before reaching their destination—an indicator that Israel planned this attack in advance, and then waited for the time to inflict terror on the people of Lebanon.

⚡️Making Up Security Vulnerabilities for Clicks
@takebackourtech

Earlier this month, major tech outlets picked up on findings from iVerify, a security company who claimed they discovered a malicious Android package (‘Showcase.apk’) on millions of phones.

"The app vulnerability leaves millions of Android Pixel devices susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, giving cybercriminals the ability to inject malicious code and dangerous spyware."

What do you think, is there a lot of clickbait in cybersecurity news?

⚡️#TBOT's XMPP Room Now Bridged To Telegram
@takebackourtech

Due to the recent developments with Telegram, we're going to start promoting our XMPP group more - which has been around for more than a year and has had hundreds of users come through it. XMPP is a messaging protocol developed in the 90s, has previously scaled to millions of users, is free and decentralized, and offers excellent messaging and privacy features including end to end encrypted messaging, calls, and video calls.

We've bridged our Telegram group (@takebackourtech_chat) to our XMPP group (tbot@group.chat.above.im) - this means you'll see messages come through from one group to another using bots.

We invite those of you that want to test out XMPP to do the following:
1. Sign up for a public XMPP server: https://list.jabber.at/
2. Note your JID (Jabber ID) - which will look like an email
3. Download your XMPP client (Gajim for Linux Desktop, Cheogram or Conversations for Android Mobile)
4. Sign in using your JID & Password
5. Join the following room: tbot@group.chat.above.im

Thanks for your support! If you appreciate this attempt at bridging, let us know.

For more information on XMPP, read our article: https://takebackourtech.org/xmpp-comeback

🚨 ACT NOW: Defend Freedom & Sovereignty at the UN's Summit of the Future 🚨

Our freedom is under threat. In just days, the United Nations' Summit of the Future will introduce the "Pact for the Future"—a global agenda that could erode national sovereignty, suppress individual freedoms, and impose a top-down global framework. This is more than a policy—it’s a power grab that risks reshaping our world into one of control and conformity.

Today, Free Humanity launch our open letter campaign to fight back against this centralization of power. We MUST stand together to protect freedom, democracy, and the right of communities to govern themselves.

👉 SIGN THE OPEN LETTER NOW: https://www.freehumanity.org/pactforthefuture/

🛑 WHAT'S AT STAKE?

- Centralised Control that undermines national sovereignty 🌐
- Perpetual "Global Emergency" granting sweeping powers to centralised authorities 🚨
- Erosion of Free Speech & Privacy under the guise of combating "misinformation" 🛡️
- Corporate & Technocratic Influence over global policies without democratic oversight 💼
- A "One-Size-Fits-All" Agenda that stifles cultural and national diversity 🌎

🗣 WE NEED YOUR VOICE! By signing this letter, you're joining a global stand against unchecked power. Share this message far and wide—let’s make it impossible for our voices to be ignored. Together, we can STOP this overreach before it’s too late.

🔗 This is our moment to defend freedom and democracy. The future of our freedoms are at stake, and we must act NOW.

⚡️Police Officers Use AI Chatbots To Write Crime Reports
@takebackourtech

The Oklahoma City Police Department is experimenting with an AI tool called Draft One, developed by Axon, to generate initial drafts of incident reports.

Draft One is an AI solution built on the same underlying technology as the NSA sponsored ChatGPT, powered by OpenAI's large language model, but with additional controls to reduce the ‘creativity knob’ and focus on factual reporting.

Do you see any problem with police using LLMs for their work?

Censorship is escalating once again, but we are ready for it!

Today's Alfacast featured intrepid naturopath and author, Daniel Roytas who hit a major nerve by brilliantly exposing the largest element of the technocratic control system: germ theory.  YouTube wasn't pleased with this level of truth on their platform and so removed the show an hour after it concluded. We haven't encountered this level of censorship since the peak of Covideous Erectus, but we anticipated its return as election season approaches and censorship intensifies. Fortunately, we're prepared. We want to remind you that we also stream on Rumble, Unite & Odysee as alternatives to YouTube, and all past episodes are available on our website here. This powerful podcast is not to be missed!

Recently, Mike Winner was also removed from Instagram for speaking too much truth. He has now transitioned to Substack, where he shares daily short audio casts about his thoughts for the day. You can follow him here.

Last week, we hosted a show with Above Phone founder, Hakeem Anwar, discussing the importance of switching to more private tech and avoiding these technocratic control systems. This motivated our private membership site launch last December. If you haven't joined us yet, please do so. It's the best way to ensure you won't miss any AV-related content in the future!  

Here's to our collective growth out of these old control systems and into a new world centered on truth, love & freedom!

Dear friends, 

I'm currently in transit making my way to the United Kingdom for The People's Reset Conference. Its a bit surreal as I've been involved with this event since the beginning and now we're on the 6th event after 4 years of co-creation. How time flies! Throughout this time, I've been watching people undergo powerful transformations and experiencing my own life-changing growth.

What makes The People's Reset so powerful? This was the first conference that obsessed over learning, applying, and sharing solutions - not just obsessing over the problems. With over 100 speakers and talks uploaded from the events (https://odysee.com/@TheGreaterReset:4), we've done our best to get the knowledge out there and empower others. 

And this time in the UK our team has been working hard on organizing the best event we possibly can. We do this because we know the world needs this information more than ever.

Please show your support!

Yours,
Hakeem Anwar

⚡️How iPhone and Android Leak Data Every 5 Minutes
@takebackourtech

Nicole Sauce and I talk about the sharp uptick in interest of Android phone adoption, particularly in developing countries.

The reason? I point to a study that came out of Trinity College Dublin that demonstrated phones were connecting back to Google and Apple every 5 minutes.

@takebackourtech

For those new to Above products, I provide a live demo of the Above Phone for total transparency of the device. Notably, GrapheneOS allows for total restriction of the microphone and camera on the Above Phone, regardless of third party app preference.

If you want to keep your cellular identity completely private or use an eSIM, Above Phone can do that too!

What type of phone or OS are you currently using? Are you happy with it? Please let us know in the comments!

⚡️Monezon: Buy stuff on Amazon with Monero
@takebackourtech

Discovered this platform the other day. Obviously I would prefer buying local than Amazon, but its cool to see that this is a solution in the Monero ecosystem.

Unfortunately it requires an Amazon account and for you to share your wishlist with 'executors'.

Also of note is the way they encrypt the order and messages between sender and receiver. You get a private key in the browser in the form of a seed phrase.
