๐ŸšจFREE GUIDE: The Digital ID Rollout Is Moving Fast

Digital identity systems are rapidly becoming the de facto gateway to citizenship, commerce, and movement โ€” creating a single point of control that can be used to digitally erase or marginalize anyone who opposes it.

In our research of Digital ID pilot programs around the world, we find national ID apps available to all in the next two years, a full-scale rollout within the next five years, and within a decade legacy IDs will be made largely obsolete.

Our report breaks down whatโ€™s happening globally and lays out solutions for anyone who wants a say in their digital identity.

๐ŸŒ Why Local AI Matters More Than You Think

I had a great conversation with Jerm Warfare on UK Column, and we talked about the nuances of AI. AI can be a very powerful tool but there are costs that come with it. I read a recent study on how every cloud-based AI query can actually consume about a bottle of waterโ€™s worth of resources. Thatโ€™s important to talk about.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re big on local AI โ€” running it on your own device means no hidden water use, just your machine and a fan. Itโ€™s a small difference that makes a big impact.

โšก๏ธReclaiming Health and Independence

In this conversation with Mike Adams, we dive into how government policies and corporate interests have created a cycle of dependency on processed foods. From regulations that limit home gardening to the corporate welfare benefiting large supermarkets and pharmaceutical companies, the system has kept many trapped in unhealthy cycles.

But thereโ€™s hope! With tools like the Above Book and Brighteon AI, knowledge on growing your own food and making your own medicine is now freely accessible to everyone, while also maintaining your privacy. Itโ€™s about empowering self-reliance and reclaiming our health and freedom.

Join us in building a more self-sufficient future!

What Is AI Really?

In this snippet from our latest webinar, I break down the basics: AI isn't all just futuristic sci-fi. It can be as simple as a machine learning to wash your clothes or as complex as a system that learns from huge amounts of data.

If youโ€™re curious about how to use AI locally and ethically, without losing your own judgment, check out our webinar : Empowerment with Ethical, Local, and Private AI.

โšก๏ธFREE On-Demand Webinar: Youโ€™re Not Overthinking It

If youโ€™ve ever felt like your phone has too much access to your lifeโ€ฆ youโ€™re not crazy. Thatโ€™s how the ecosystem is designed.

In the Rise Above Masterclass, we lay out how tracking becomes the default, why backdoors matter, and how โ€œsecurityโ€ messaging often masks a data business model.

The good news: you can choose a better relationship with your tech โ€” one built on ownership and control.

๐Ÿ“ฑ The Subtle Ways Your Device Influences Your Emotions

In my chat with Jerm Warfare, we got into a crucial point: a lot of folks wonder if anyoneโ€™s actually watching them personally. Itโ€™s the idea that there are so many people on this planet, why would anyone care to be listening to me? But itโ€™s not about that.

Itโ€™s about AI analyzing your patterns and slotting you into massive data sets to predict how people react. When you see certain news or trends on your phone, itโ€™s not just about monitoring your emotionsโ€”itโ€™s also about shaping them. If they know how an area will react to certain things, it leaves us open to being manipulated to react a certain way by what we are seeing on our feed. Thatโ€™s the bigger danger.

โšก๏ธHyperscalers in the U.S.

In this webinar, I walk through how these enormous data centersโ€” run by big tech companiesโ€”are popping up across the country. These are frontier-scale facilities that could literally power entire towns with their projected capacities. With how quickly theyโ€™re being built, it can be overwhelming, especially since it doesnโ€™t seem like they care about what the people in the areaโ€™s want.

If you want to see the full picture and understand what these hyperscalers mean for AI deployment, check out the "Empowerment with Ethical, Local, and Private AI" webinar.

โšก๏ธBig Tech Acts in Lockstep

In this interview with Chris Martenson from Peak Prosperity, I shared my concerns about how closely big tech and government institutions are starting to move together. Whether itโ€™s censorship, data sharing, or infrastructure, weโ€™re seeing fewer independent actors and more alignment around the same goals.

When technology and power consolidate like this, it leaves very little room for individual choice or accountability. Thatโ€™s something I think we need to be paying a lot more attention to.

๐Ÿค” Do you think this alignment is accidentalโ€”or intentional?

๐Ÿ’ฆWater Usage in AI Data Centers

Letโ€™s talk about water usage in these massive AI data centers. In a recent webinar, I get into how these hyperscalers consume enormous amounts of waterโ€”not just for cooling the servers directly, but also through the power plants that keep them running. Weโ€™re talking billions of liters of potable water each yearโ€”enough to match places like Sydney Harbourโ€”often in regions that are already water-stressed.

๐Ÿ’ป Why We Chose Arch Linux for Above OS

In my recent chat with Jerm Warfare, I got to share why we built Above OS on Arch Linux. Whatโ€™s great about Arch is the Arch User Repository (AUR). Itโ€™s a community-driven hub where anyone can share software, so you can find and run almost anything you need. And because Arch is a rolling release, youโ€™re always up to date with the latest improvements. Itโ€™s a bit different from other Linux distributions, but it means you have more control and flexibility.

โšก๏ธYour Tech Choices Matter More Than You Think

In this clip from a recent webinar, I talk about how the devices and tools we choose every day genuinely make a difference. It's not just about privacyโ€”it's also about the environmental impact. The more we rely on centralized, cloud-based AI embedded in our tech, the more we drive up resource usage. Many people don't even realize they have a choice, and thatโ€™s why itโ€™s so important to spread the word.

๐ŸšจFREE GUIDE: Digital ID Is the New Gatekeeper

Digital ID is quickly becoming the gateway to everyday life โ€” not just a โ€œnew convenience.โ€ Those who object to the program must object to the many stages that get us there, namely electronic IDs and biometric collection.

If access to goods and services gets put behind a wall, opting out may come with real tradeoffs. Thatโ€™s why this guide focuses on whatโ€™s coming and what you can do now.

We cover timelines, mechanisms of control, and how different regions are rolling this out.

โšก๏ธAI Output Mirrors Your Effort

In this clip from our recent webinar on ethical AI, I explain how the quality of your AI experience really depends on how you use it. If you just copy-paste answers without thinking, youโ€™re not really getting much out of it. But if you put in thoughtful effort and use AI as a tool rather than a crutch, you can actually get much richer and more meaningful results.

โšก๏ธLocal AI vs. Cloud AI: Whatโ€™s the Difference?

With local AI, you download the model once, run it privately on your own device, and youโ€™re not constantly feeding data centers or using up tons of resources. Itโ€™s more stable, more private, and definitely lighter on the environment compared to cloud AI, which constantly updates and monitors your usage. Have you ever used a local AI?

๐Ÿซ†FREE On-Demand Webinar: Rise Above the Tracking Economy


You donโ€™t have to accept surveillance as the price of living in the modern world.

In our Rise Above Masterclass, we show how everyday phones can arrive โ€œpre-hackedโ€ โ€” designed for corporations to track, profile, and monetize your life, while leaving backdoors that others can exploit.

Then we share a better path forward. In our 2025 ecosystem showcase, youโ€™ll see how real ownership looks: a device without ads, forced logins, or hidden trackers โ€” and full control of the phone you purchased.
