Its happening. All the things we have been talking about for the past few years are becoming reality.

Today we had some important conversations with Italians in the town square; Would local business owners use Digital ID if it was required?

This interview will be included in #TBOT 16, I may need some help translating her answer from Italian.

#TBOT Solution of the Week: The New Freenet, One Big Privacy Problem

Freenet has been rebuilt as a decentralized network that could one day rival the web. It’s fast, scalable, and lets apps and data live entirely on the network without centralized infrastructure.

But its new reputation system is tied to “Ghost Keys” verified through Stripe payments. This means Stripe can link donations to users—undermining the privacy Freenet promises.

Freenet is a powerful tool and a real alternative to the centralized web. But if it wants to stay true to its principles, it needs to offer more payment options—crypto included—so users can remain private.

NEW: Why We Need a Holistic Liberation Movement

On September 18, 2025, Derrick Broze spoke at the Thrive Alive Vegan Fest about the importance of building a holistic liberation movement. Derrick speaks about the various blind spots he sees in the different movements which he operates.

⚡️Stumbling Blocks of the Truth Movement

I was recently on the AM Wake Up Revolution Wednesday show, and one thing I talked about is how the truth movement often gets stuck in its own echo chambers. We spend so much time sharing information with people who already know it, instead of stepping outside and having real conversations with others in everyday life.

If we want change, we’ve got to move these conversations beyond our circles and bring them into the world around us.

⚡️Here’s How You Can Use AI Without Big Tech

I recently talked with Mike Adams of Brighteon about how we can harness AI on our own terms. We discussed how the Above Book—a user-friendly Arch Linux laptop—lets us run our own AI models without big tech influence.

We can take the good parts of existing systems and leave the rest behind. With open-source tools like OnlyOffice, you get a familiar experience and total control over your privacy.

📚 How It Happened

Why did Chromebooks become the default choice in schools?

Low cost, bundled features like screen readers and voice typing, and easy-to-use platforms like Google Classroom made them irresistible to school districts under pressure to save money.

But cost savings came at a price: mass adoption of monitoring tools that track student behavior, not just in classrooms but at home. What started as accessibility and convenience has opened the door to constant surveillance and data extraction.

Schools may believe they’re protecting students, but the hidden trade-offs tell another story.

Parents and educators deserve to understand this shift—and there are better ways forward.

⚡️A Hopeful Look at Waking Up

On Word Up with Dani Katz, we talked about whether everyone is meant to "wake up" or if some people will remain low-consciousness and end up in smart cities. I shared that I have an idealistic perspective and hope that more people will choose awareness. Ultimately, it's about having faith in our ability to shape our own paths.

NEW - City-States Without Limits – Part 1

A powerful group of Silicon Valley oligarchs are using the Trump administration to push for the construction of privatized city-states in the US. Their interests are aligned with a global network of oligarchs who want to move away from the global governance of nation-states to the global governance of an international network of city-states. The intention is for the city-states to form a “patchwork” of realms overseen by a regional balance of power global governance system: the Multipolar World Order.

Catherine Austin Fitts and I discuss the Roger Ver case and my report in Solari detailing the various intricacies of the case. We also discuss the weaponization of the legal system.

(From August) https://solari.com/the-prosecution-of-roger-ver-a-lawfare-case-study-with-taylor-hudak/

Well, Roger is now free... but only after being extorted for $48M! Unbelievable!

Tomorrow San Miguel del Monte and other towns very close to where we live in Michoacán, Mexico will vote on whether to reject the state government and become recognized as autonomous. This means they would be responsible for governing themselves.

We heard from some local friends that voters are being told that if they vote to become autonomous they will lose government services and roads may be blocked. The local indigenous leaders say this is disinformation to discourage people from voting yes on the measure.

This is one of the reasons I love Mexico. This wouldn't even be an option in most nations.

Here are some relevant links for anyone interested.

⚡️Installing Apps Without Google Play Store is Easier Than You Think

In my recent chat with Mike Adams on Brighteon, we dove into a game-changer for installing apps away from Google play store. The Aurora Store makes it easy to get the apps you need without hunting down APKs, and it even shows you "nutrition facts" for each app—like which trackers are hidden inside. Think of it like reading a food label, but for your phone.

You might be surprised how many apps come bundled with trackers like Facebook, Google, and more. With Aurora Store, you can see exactly who's tracking your apps and keep control in your hands.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 195: Rise Above Big Tech: Defying The Surveillance State And Spiritual Sabotage with Hakeem Anwar

Hakeem Anwar joins Alec for a conversation on the growing surveillance ecosystem and the path toward digital sovereignty.

A former health software engineer turned privacy advocate, Hakeem shares how a shocking data breach involving children’s Social Security numbers led him to create Above — a company designing privacy-first phones and laptops free from Big Tech dependencies.

Hakeem is a software engineer, technologist, and founder of Above, a conscious technology company focused on user privacy and empowerment. He also leads the #TakeBackOurTech initiative, offering free guides for switching to open-source and privacy-respecting tools.

Friends,

We regret to inform our community that the Freedom Cells website (FreedomCells.org) is not currently active.

In truth, it has not been functioning correctly for some months. We apologize for that and for any inconvenience.

Our goal is always to help foster local connections in hopes of building a decentralized network of freedom communities. We have succeeded in that, but we know we can do better.

At the same time, at the end of the day, the Freedom Cell Network is not on a website or even on Telegram. It is in the real world. It is in each of you who go out and connect with like minds in your area and start focusing on solutions for building independence and autonomy.

Still, we recognize that the website has been a useful tool and we want to have it available for those who are struggling to find people in their area.

We are putting together a plan to rebuild the website and do it in a way that is more secure, more private, and more decentralized than ever.

Please stay tuned and keep building.

- Derrick Broze

⚡️Choosing Your Own Path: Spiritual Awakening and Free Will

On Word Up with Dani Katz, I shared a bit about my journey from diving into conspiracies to seeking deeper spiritual truths. Over time, I realized it’s not just about uncovering what’s wrong in the world, but about understanding that we all have free will. We’re all evolving together, experiencing life firsthand and choosing our own path. And sometimes it just clicks that you can choose where you want to be and the life you want to cultivate.

⚡️Inside Big Tech’s Surveillance Machine: My Interview on The Way Forward

I just sat down with Alec from The Way Forward for a powerful conversation on privacy, autonomy, and the deeper effects of living under big tech’s surveillance.

We got into how our data is tracked and traded, what most people don’t realize about the systems behind it, and how we can start building a life beyond constant digital control.

If you care about freedom — both digital and spiritual — this one’s worth watching.
