⚡️Full Disk Encryption Right Out of The Box

In my recent chat with Mike Adams, we talked about how the Above Book takes security to the next level right out of the box. Every one of these laptops ships with full-disk encryption enabled by default, so your data is protected from the moment you turn it on. You’ll get a chance to set your own password and keep everything locked down, so no one can just walk off with your data. It’s all about giving you peace of mind and total control over your privacy.

⚡️How Google’s SensorVault Turned an Innocent Man Into a Suspect

📹 I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Peak Prosperity Summit 2025, where I shared how tools like Google’s SensorVault have turned innocent people into suspects. Jorge Molina’s story out of Arizona is one of many that shows how mass surveillance and data collection can destroy lives.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory — it’s the system we’re living in.

NEW from Neil Radimaker — California’s Mileage-Based Road Charge: What It Is, How It Would Work, and Why Privacy Risks Increase

As I’ve been investigating California’s mileage-based road charge, it’s clear this isn’t just a policy about road funding. It’s the quiet rollout of a system built to track, record, and bill movement itself. The state says it’s about fairness and modernization, but the deeper I look, the more it resembles a permanent surveillance and revenue network disguised as transportation reform. What’s being tested today through Caltrans and the State Transportation Agency is the blueprint for total mileage monitoring tied to personal identity.

🖼️ How to Scrub Hidden Data from Your Photos

In Media Master: Open Source Photo and Video Editing, I walk through how to use Aves Libre — a beautiful, offline photo gallery app we recommend for Above Phone users.

One key reason? It shows you your photo’s EXIF data — hidden info like time zones, device model, and more — and helps you remove it. This data can quietly leak your identity when sharing online, but with Aves and the right camera settings, you stay in control.

How Pegasus Spyware Exploits iMessage and WhatsApp

In this clip, I dive into how the Pegasus spyware can hijack your phone through iMessage without you even clicking anything. Plus, I talk about a former WhatsApp security head who blew the whistle on just how many engineers have access to your data. It's a stark reminder of how these "privacy" promises from big tech often fall short.

Become a #TBOT Contributor

I've been feeling the call to bring more talented creators into the spotlight, especially from within the freedom movement — there are so many things to learn and experiment with.

The content bar is really low - no one bothers to source their information or strive for accuracy. This type of content maybe gets its point across but is more entertaining than educational. I know we can do better.

Now you can become a #TBOT contributor and get your work featured on our channels and show.

the innovation will affect all city trade and services enterprises. In this regard, the owners of stores, restaurants and similar establishments will have to install POS-terminals or connect to payment online systems.

As stated in the government decree, this decision is part of the policy on income transparency and the shadow economy. At the same time, all operations will be recorded in electronic systems." 📲🛂 https://fergana.media/news/142327/

Yikes. So turns out that big tech executives are all obsessed with cheating death and creating a "master race" with their own genetics. More like a race of egotistical autists.

Great new piece from Unlimited Hangout.

Beyond his investments in anti-aging biotechnology companies, Thiel has stated “People have a choice to accept death, deny it or fight it…I think our society is dominated by people who are into denial or acceptance, and I prefer to fight it.”

Thiel is hardly the only Epstein-connected billionaire waging war against death. Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google who became a client of JP Morgan through Epstein in 2004 and later hired Epstein to advise him on a trust for his children, is the founder of a “super-secret biotech outfit [called] Calico [that] is ‘solving death.’” According to The Standard, Brin “has no plans to die.”

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who dined with a fresh-out-of-prison Epstein, has reportedly made significant investments in the anti-aging startup Altos Labs that has raised billions of dollars. Altos is developing “reprogramming technology” which in Frankenstein-like fashion could rejuvenate “cells in the lab that some scientists think could be extended to revitalize entire animal bodies, ultimately prolonging human life.”

Mega-Zionist Larry Ellison, whose CIA-contracting company Oracle has partnered with Palantir, has invested over $300 million into anti-aging research.

Mark Zuckerberg, a mentee of Thiel’s who has been intimately linked to the Palantir founder virtually his entire career, awards $3 million per year to anti-aging scientists through the scientific award he co-founded called the Breakthrough Prize. The Breakthrough Prize is also funded by Sergey Brin and his former wife, founder of genetic data-collecting company 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki.

“I don’t understand your protest. Perhaps you could break it down for us?“

Had Mr. Thilly not danced, the world wouldn’t have known that the property taxes in Cranford NJ are out of control. 🤌🏼
