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.

AI can be a powerful tool, but we should use it in ways that align with our human qualities and intelligence, not in ways that strip that from us.

📚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.

💻Making Privacy Simple with Above: Linux Without the Learning Curve

In this clip from my interview with Dr. Trozzi, I explain how the Above Book brings the power of Linux to everyday users — no coding, no terminal commands, just privacy that works out of the box.

It’s freedom tech made practical — built for people who want security without the complexity.

📸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.

Fear is (literally) the mind-killer—or at least *a* mind-killer 💥🧠

💾You Will Own No RAM

Building your own computer used to be a rite of passage. That era is ending.

Manufacturers that once focused on consumer hardware—GPUs, RAM, SSDs—are pivoting toward AI data centers. Micron is exiting the Crucial consumer business by 2026. Samsung and SK Hynix are redirecting massive memory capacity to AI workloads, while Meta plans to spend $72B on AI infrastructure.

Project Stargate locked up roughly 40% of global DRAM output, and RAM prices have already doubled.

The result? Higher prices, tighter supply, and a push toward cloud computing—where you don’t own a powerful machine, you rent compute by the minute. Another “you will own nothing and be happy” moment.

Avoid over-using cloud AI and software baked with AI. Most data-center demand comes from inference—constant use. The more people go local, the less incentive there is to build massive AI infrastructure.
