What Bioinitiative 2012 Revealed About EMFs

In this clip, we discuss the groundbreaking Bioinitiative 2012 Report - a comprehensive review of over 1,800 scientific studies on the health effects of EMF exposure.

Unlike government or industry-backed guidelines, this report was created by independent scientists and health experts, and it highlights serious biological risks from even low levels of radiation—impacting sleep, fertility, DNA, and brain function.

It’s one of the most important documents for understanding why our current safety standards are not enough.

⚡️Update on the Monero Attack

Its been about a week since Qubic started its attack on Monero, which would begin on August 2nd. Although the attack failed to gain its 51% attack over Monero, they've decided to mine Monero regularly.

The attack began with some drama —Qubic claimed their network was hit by a DDoS, slowing the start, although no one has confirmed any evidence of a DDOS attack.

They mined 20% of Monero’s blocks in 24 hours. If you choose to believe it, Qubic’s data shows an all-time-high hashrate of 2.6 GH/s, holding it for ~12 hours—about 35–45% of Monero’s total hashrate.

Monero Research Lab’s Rucknium released a tool to visualize “orphaned blocks”—blocks mined almost at the same time, forcing the network to choose a chain.

If you care about Monero’s future, mine with Gupax—it’s never been easier.

⚡️EU Breaks Its Own Law, Forcing Use of Google for Age Verification

The EU just took a major step forward in their Digital ID program with an age verification app now being tested in 5 countries.

It’s pitched as a “private” way to verify your age — but here’s the catch: it recommends Google attestation, meaning it won’t work on alternative or de-Googled phones.

By enforcing this, the app will only run on Google-approved devices, even though this method is less secure. This could force everyone in the EU to use Big Tech phones when using apps tied to the system.

How did the EU respond to backlash — and what does this mean for the future of de-Googled devices in the EU?

👁️ Thoughts on Palantir: The Rise of Predictive Surveillance

On the Man in America podcast, I shared my thoughts on Palantir — one of the most powerful surveillance companies in the world. With billions in government contracts and tools like Gotham already in use by police departments, we're seeing a shift toward AI-powered predictive policing at scale. This isn’t just Big Tech anymore — it’s Big Government x Big Data.

Watch the full conversation to learn what’s coming and why it matters.

Monero Is Being Selfishly Mined

As the Qubic atack goes into its second week, we're seeing evidence of 'selfish-mining'. This happens when an attacker has a sizable proportion of hashrate and rejects orphaned blocks that are not their own.

Here's a picture from Monero Consensus showing what that looks like on the blockchain. Notice many miners had accepted the organic 'green' chain, but was rejected by the attackers.

This isn't as damaging as a 51% attack where an attacker could stop transactions and double spend - but its still quite alarming.

Thanks to Rucknium from the Monero Research Lab who built this consensus app: https://moneroconsensus.info/

What It’s Like to Be EMF-Sensitive
From our webinar: Stress-Free Approach to Electromagnetic Radiation

Some people experience real, physical symptoms from exposure to electromagnetic fields—this is known as EMF hypersensitivity.

In this clip, we talk about how EMFs can affect the body more intensely for certain individuals—causing issues like headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog. It’s not just in their head. The impact is real, and more common than most people realize.

Understanding this is key to creating safer, more conscious tech environments for everyone.

⚡️AGPL is not FOSS

Security researcher Jeffrey Paul – known for exposing macOS OCSP tracking of every Mac user and the apps they opened – is taking aim at the Affero GNU Public License (AGPL).

Released in 2007, the AGPL was meant to close a GPL loophole for “providers” like AWS who run Free Software in the cloud without distributing it. It obligates them to publish any changes they make.

The Free Software Foundation wanted this, but Paul argues it violates the first principle of Free Software: the freedoms are permissions, not obligations. It’s also not viable to follow AGPL in a normal development flow, which would need to update a link to the source in real time, as soon as changes were made.

We use AGPL software for Above Share. We felt that this was great from a privacy perspective, but I can see Pauls point - it doesn’t feel like a license, it feels like more restrictions.

🪪 “It is the linchpin that brings everything together”

What is one key factor regarding digital ID that almost nobody seems to be talking about?

Interoperability.

Credit to the Independent Media Alliance, with whom I have no affiliation, as well as Iain Davis and Whitney Webb who have summarised this information better than anybody I've come across.

Thank you to Ryan Cristián for permission to sample the audio from this panel discussion.

⚡️21-year-old Inventor of Plastoline Fears for His Safety

Julian Brown is the 21-year-old backyard inventor of Plastoline. Starting in his backyard, he created an end-to-end process that turns plastic into fuel.

Back in July, Julian released a video saying he was under attack, that odd things were happening, and he asked viewers to pray for him. Shortly after, Julian went silent.

It turns out, he had gone into hiding—scared for his safety.

The process that Julian and others use is called depolymerization. It typically uses heat, pressure, and catalysts—and it’s not new.

Today there are many companies that are taking on the mission of turning plastics into fuel.

And somehow, a 21-year-old with nothing but a microwave reactor and raw determination is showing the world what’s possible—and it’s incredibly inspiring.

What would you create if you had zero funding but unlimited time and curiosity?

Your Phone Is Disrupting Your Mind—Even When It's Off

During my talk at The People’s Reset, I shared research showing how just having a phone in the room—powered off or on airplane mode—can weaken your focus and performance.

Notifications fracture our attention, and studies now show smartphone-addicted students experience lower levels of deep learning and flow state. Plus, we’re offloading memory to our devices, a phenomenon called digital amnesia.

⚡️New Leak Uncovers AI-Assisted Mass Censorship on Facebook

Whistleblowers say Meta’s takedown system was hijacked. After Oct 7, the Israeli gov flooded Meta with thousands of post reports. Approved 94% of the time, this “poisoned” the AI into auto-censoring Palestine-related content worldwide.

ICW estimates 38.8M posts were removed not for violations, but because the model was over-trained on biased reports.

⚠️ Is the Threat Real?

On the Man in America podcast, I was asked whether concerns about a Chinese-style social credit system or digital ID prison in the U.S. are just conspiracy—or something more. With Palantir securing massive military contracts and Big Tech execs being sworn into the Army Reserves, it’s no longer hypothetical. The infrastructure is being built now.

Digital ID, predictive policing, AI surveillance—this is the real threat of our decade.
