Surveillance Slips into Everyday Devices

In my recent conversation with Peak Prosperity, we talked about how surveillance isnโ€™t always obvious anymore. Itโ€™s slipping into everyday devicesโ€”things like Wi-Fi routers that can detect movement inside your home just by analyzing signal changes.

This kind of tech is being framed as โ€œsmartโ€ or โ€œconvenient,โ€ but it raises real questions about consent and control. Once these features are normalized, most people wonโ€™t even realize theyโ€™re being monitored.

๐Ÿค” Where do you think the line should be when it comes to surveillance inside the home?

Our friend Aaron Day is running for U.S Senate - not to legislate for change, but to make a point about the digital surveillance grid approaching us. He's also rallying to free privacy warriors like the Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash developers.

First interview just posted: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/congressional/4413383/aaron-day-spoiler-could-sink-senate-gop-new-hampshire/

His mission, should he choose to run, remains the same from his Senate campaign a decade ago: undermine the GOP nominee to get his point across. But his purpose for doing so has changed drastically from his past desire to reshape the stateโ€™s Republican Party.

โ€œI still naively thought in 2016 that I could affect things politically, and I actually thought that there was a fundamental difference between the two parties and that there was the potential to influence the Republican Party from a liberty perspective,โ€ Day said. โ€œI donโ€™t believe that at all anymore.โ€

โ€œHe made the point that you canโ€™t improve unless you understand and accept the reality of the current situation. We are living in a massive state of denial,โ€ Day said. โ€œAnd the massive state of denial that weโ€™re in isโ€ฆ this technocratic surveillance state, which is growing unchecked under Trump.โ€

Politics won't accomplish any real change, but using politics as a platform to share the truth is a worthy stategy.

This is exactly what our good friend Derrick Broze did back in 2023 for his hometown of Houston, successfully cementing the idea to open up City Council to discuss issues raised by citizens. This idea was copied by candidates and generally accepted, however the next mayor of Houston neutered the idea by putting discussion behind a private committee.

What do you think? Can anything good come from political campaigns โ€” is it a way to reach people? Or is it a waste of the freedom movement's precious energy?

Tonight's episode on ukcolumn.org is about solutions.

As is always the case, people prefer doom-scrolling and whining, so I predict poor traction for this one with Hakeem Anwar.

We chatted about privacy, digital ID, surveillance, and how to resist using Linux devices.

Join us TOMORROW NIGHT for the 14th International Freedom Cells Conference Call!

Help Us Take Freedom Cells to the Next Level with Qortal on January 13th!

While we are working hard to produce The People's Reset 2026 - Only 3 Weeks Away! - we are also working on taking the Freedom Cell Network to the next level!


By now you may have heard that The Freedom Cell Network is partnering with Qortal to build a decentralized, distributed version of The Freedom Cell Network on Qortal.

However, in order to build a truly private, decentralized app for the Freedom Cell Network we need 200 members to join the Freedom Cell group on Qortal!

Once we hit that milestone the Qortal team will begin building out the FC app!

That's why Derrick Broze and John Bush are hosting the 14th International FC Conference Call to help onboard as many FC members from around the world as possible so we can get the app built ASAP!

We will be meeting on Tuesday the 13th at 7 pm US Central.

Sign up for the call
via Crowdcast or watch without registering via the official Freedom Cell Odysee channel!


If you would like to know more about Qortal and this partnership with the FCN, watch this short discusion between Derrick and Jason Crowe, founder of Qortal!

In the mean time, help us propel the project forward by signing up for Qortal here: https://qortal.dev/freedomcells

We hope to see 100s of you on the 14th International Freedom Cells Conference!

๐Ÿ“šRevolutionizing Education with AI

In my latest discussion with Mike Adams, we explore how AI is transforming education. Imagine being able to create a fully customized course on any topic, like using herbs for first aid, with just a few prompts. This interactive, AI-driven approach means education is no longer one-size-fits-all. You can tailor and adapt your learning journey, and even refine the content as you go.

๐ŸƒEscaping the Digital Gulag

I recently sat down with Jerm Warfare over at UK Column to talk about what privacy tech looks like right now, and what it actually takes if we are serious about pushing back against the digital ID rollout happening around the world. We also got into AI, Linux, and the Above ecosystem. Really solid conversation.

The Digital ID Dilemma: Airports, Banks, and Privacy

In this clip, I join Andrew Kaufman from True Health Report and explore how digital IDs are forming through the combination of biometrics and legal identification. From TSAโ€™s facial scanning programs at airports to banking apps that prompt biometric verification, the push towards digital identities is intensifying.

๐ŸกMoving to the Digital Countryside

In my chat with Greg Carlwood from The Higherside Chats, we got into how using the Above Phone is like leaving the crowded digital city and heading out to a more peaceful digital countryside. With tools like Aurora Store, you can grab apps privately and see exactly whatโ€™s tracking youโ€”kind of like reading the nutrition facts on your digital diet. It's a way to opt out of constant surveillance and actually decide what you want on your device.

โšก๏ธUnveiling the Truth: Surveillance on Your Phone

Ever wondered how much surveillance is really happening on your smartphone? From regular connections to big tech servers to constant data collection through features like Face ID and app tracking, the level of snooping is extensive. Independent studies have shown that these devices send data back every few minutes, gathering more than we might expect.

In this post, we discuss how reducing reliance on big tech can significantly protect your privacy. By choosing independent and open-source solutions, you can cut out the middleman and minimize the surveillance footprint.

Join us in taking control of your digital life and stepping away from mass surveillance!

Over the past year and a half, privacy coins have outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum, but what does that mean for the future? In this clip with Aaron Day, we get into how regulatory measures aim to shut down privacy coins and why compliance alone won't defeat technocracy.
