⚡️Your Choices Are the Real Game-Changer

Every time you choose privacy-first tech, you’re building a stronger network of freedom and putting pressure on Big Tech. It’s not just about your own device—it's about supporting a whole community that values autonomy over surveillance.

In our “Rise Above” webinar, we show you how the tech you choose can shift the balance of power. Discover the ripple effect of opting out of big tech and why your informed decisions matter more than ever.

🪪Who’s Really Pushing the Digital ID Agenda?

So in this clip with Jack Spirko from The Survival Podcast, I’m laying it out: while we might be a bit behind on digital ID adoption here, the US is absolutely funding and encouraging these systems worldwide.

We’re talking about how global organizations and US dollars are rolling out the control grid in other countries, and how once your biometrics are tied to your legal ID, you’re basically in the system whether you like it or not.

We’re still in the “carrot” phase where they make it seem convenient, but that stick phase is coming.

The Hidden Architecture Behind Digital ID

On Zeee Media, I talk about something I don’t think gets enough attention: Digital ID isn’t just a policy — it’s an entire infrastructure shift happening in the background. Governments and corporations are building the rails first, and the ID systems slide right in afterward.

I break down how this rollout is being normalized through everyday services, why it’s accelerating globally, and the simple steps anyone can take to stay independent while this transformation unfolds.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 206: Parallel Structures, Palantir & The People’s Reset with Derrick Broze.

In this episode, Alec sits down once again with Derrick Broze—investigative journalist, author, filmmaker, public speaker, and Voluntaryist activist—to unpack why Trump’s second term is unfolding almost exactly as we predicted a year ago… and why so many people who claim to value freedom are doubling down on the state anyway.

📚Schools, Surveillance, and the One-Device-Per-Child Trap

I recently shared with Billy from Permaculture Pimpcast: during the pandemic, schools got handed billions to put a device in every kid’s hands, and now it’s a full-on surveillance playground. From Chromebooks to tablets, they’re watching students not just in class, but sometimes even at home. It’s wild how far this tech-in-education thing has gone, and I dove into how easy it is for these big players to get their gear into schools.

But guess what? We’ve got kids using Above Book Linux laptops now, and sometimes just bringing your own device is all it takes to step outside that system.

Australia’s ban on social media for kids is stupid and an example of government creep and further mass surveillance.

The government has no business trying to be parents and interfering in family life.

If you don’t want your kids on social media, then be better parents.

📸Flock Off AI Cameras!

Flock Safety has partnered with hundreds of police departments, turning dystopian surveillance into a commercial product. You’ve likely already seen these black teardrop-shaped cameras in your town—here’s what they really do.

Flock builds ALPRs that capture every vehicle passing by. They don’t just read plates—they record make, model, color, stickers, and even windshield angle. Millions of reads are logged daily. Police can pull this data without a warrant, and agencies can share feeds across jurisdictions.

Flock claims their system “helps solve 10% of U.S. crimes,” but the study behind it is built on customer surveys, no control group, and data that doesn’t reflect everyday crime. Independent investigations found little to no real impact—Piedmont, CA spent over $576k for more crime and less liberty.

Want transparency? deflock.me crowdsources these camera locations so you can see where Flock units are in your area.
