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!

πŸ“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.

πŸ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 TSA’s facial scanning programs at airports to banking apps that prompt biometric verification, the push towards digital identities is intensifying.

🏑Moving 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 what’s tracking youβ€”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.

⚑️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!
