AI Power Demand

With 10% of U.S. power already going to data centers, and more planned, the strain on the grid is already a problem. Are we really prepared for AI to consume 40% of our power grid?

The 2nd Leg of The Activation Tour Kicks Off in 3 Weeks!

I will be traveling from Texas through the Midwest to the East Coast and down to Florida for 21 more events sharing the message of Exit & Build strategy!

If you're sick of dead end politics, hopium in false saviors and looking for REAL solutions - come to one of these events!

We are bringing people together to talk about the power of community, to network with like minds, to come up with an Activation plan and begin working towards Liberation 2030!

We are also volunteering in every city we visit AND I am performing my music.

All the dates and details can be found here: https://activationtour.org/about (We're still ironing out the details for NYC and Baltimore!)

I hope to see you at one of the dates!

Big thanks to The Meditate More Podcast, Above Phone and Zano for supporting my tour!

The Meditate More Podcast is a podcast hosted by Manny Mandala designed to help long time meditators and those just beginning their journey into quiet contemplation refocus and realign. I highly recommend starting with episode 1 and working your way through!

Above Phone is a privacy company selling degoogled phones, Linux laptops, and offering a suite of services from VPNs, encrypted chats and much more.

Zano is an open-source cryptocurrency and ecosystem with enterprise-grade privacy, security, and scalability that operates as a robust foundation for confidential assets and decentralised applications (dApps). No surveillance. No intermediaries. No compromise.

Five years ago today, Johnny Hurley was shot in the back without any warning by Arvada police, after he stopped an active shooter. From that day, he's been referred to as "Hero Hurley" or "The Hero of Olde Town," but Johnny had been a hero long before that. He was a dedicated liberty activist, an independent journalist (part of @WeAreChangeColorado), a chef & musician, a pillar of his community, and part of the White Rose Movement.

You may recognize this "No Masters & No Slaves" design that we use, which he originally made into t-shirts over a decade ago.

Just hours after Johnny stopped this attempted mass shooting, (then president) Joe Biden got on TV to talk about gun control... but had no talking point. Johnny stopped their attempted False Flag, because he was in the right place, and didn't hesitate to run towards danger to protect others. The police officer who killed him made no attempt to identify him, had been hiding with other cops & watching CCTV footage of the event playing out, and received paid leave & finally a paid retirement - no charges of any kind.

Today, there will be a gathering in Arvada's Olde Town Square to remember Johnny and what he stood for: The Beauty & Liberty inherent in us all! If you're in the Denver area please come out - or tell anyone you know who is, and ask them to join.

Ford Fisher of News2Share made this video honoring Johnny during the memorial event in 2024: https://youtu.be/8VWVQPSUq9A

Here's a collection of Johnny's writings, as well as some writings, songs, and poems about him: https://libertyunderattack.com/product/johnny-was-a-good-man-the-writings-of-johnny-hurley-hero-of-olde-town-arvada/

Say his name to as many people as possible this weekend! If you want to learn more or make a donation to help out go to https://herohurley.org/

⚡️Finding the Patterns

Data centers need massive power and water. In this conversation with Charlie Robinson, I broke down how the map can help communities spot patterns early and organize before it’s too late.

#TBOT 24: FIFA Drone Surveillance, Telegram Deanonymized, UK & CA Laws, SimpleX Chat

Here are this week’s stories:

FIFA Cup Monitored by Drones: Anti-drone tech is being used in 11 major cities for the FIFA worldcup. We’re talking anti-drone surveillance, drone first responders, and interceptor drones that fly at incredible speeds.

Telegram’s Deanonymization Risk: A new security paper indicates that Telegram has been sending unique device keys over the internet completely unencryped. This was the last straw for me. I’m moving platforms.

UK & CA Laws: The UK just put out a new fact sheet on their Social Media laws for under 16 year olds, and Canada just put out the most aggressive expansion of police powers we’ve seen.

SimpleX Chat: Can this peer to peer messenger replace Telegram? Let’s find out with our solution for the week.

Are We Powerless Against the Digital ID Future?

Mark Devlin and I discuss whether we can avoid a digital ID-dominated future or if we’re left with damage control. The momentum, money, and coordination behind AI and digital ID is massive, and the best move may be self-reliance. Can you source your essentials locally? It might not be a permanent fix, but staying connected to your community could make all the difference.

@durov — why on earth does Telegram not use HTTPS? this paper verified that unique device identifiers are sent completely naked over the internet, which would enable internet service providers and agencies to track users. you critique WhatsApp’s privacy -- but this appears to be a failure of yours. do you want people to switch away from Telegram?
fix this.

⚡️Anti-Drone Tech Hits FIFA World Cup

Thanks to the FIFA World Cup, we’re now seeing the largest drone deployments ever for public sporting events.

For the first time, state and local law enforcement will operate anti-drone surveillance, drone first responders, and kinetic counter-drone systems across 11 host cities.

Backed by the NDAA's Safer Skies Act and nearly $1 billion in FEMA funding, authorities now have expanded powers to detect, seize, disable, and even destroy drones they deem a threat.

From identifying a pilot's location to autonomously intercepting aircraft mid-flight, these systems are bringing a new layer of surveillance to public events.

🐔 Mass Non-Compliance Works.

Mexico tried to force Digital ID & Biometrics on 82 million people -- and they failed.

June 30th was the deadline for people to register with the 'CURP', Mexico's biometric registration system. As of the deadline, 82 million lines are still not registered. This band of holdouts is preventing Mexico from becoming a total technocratic state.

Let's take a lesson from them. Never comply with Digital ID.

¡Viva la Independencia!

⚡️Telegram Leaks Unique Device Identifiers

Pavel Durov, you have failed us big time.

A new paper from cryptographer Nadim Kobessi found that Telegram is sending users' unique device identifiers over the internet in plaintext instead of protecting them with HTTPS. This could allow anyone monitoring network traffic, from your internet service provider to an intelligence agency, to collect metadata that helps reveal who is talking to whom, when, and where from.

The worst part? The fix is incredibly simple. Telegram could enable HTTPS, but it hasn't. Until we see real accountability, we're no longer recommending Telegram and are moving to a messaging protocol built to minimize metadata.

Mexican Government Delays Biometric Registration Deadline After Massive Public Resistance

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced an extension to a controversial deadline that required Mexican citizens and foreign residents to register their phone lines with their identification. The move comes after less than half of the country signed up to register their phone lines.

The lessons learned in Mexico are instructive for those looking to resist or opt out of other forms of invasive, privacy-destroying, technocratic programs. While the deadline extension is not a complete win for the Mexican people—the government and the telecoms aren’t giving up that easily, after all—it does show that non-compliance and foot-dragging can have an impact.

UK & Canada's Surveillance Bills

The UK is moving forward with a social media ban for children under 16, but the changes affect far more than kids.

To enforce the ban, platforms will have to verify users' ages. While officials haven't confirmed exactly how, facial scans, digital IDs, and other age verification schemes are all on the table. The government is also researching ways to prevent people from bypassing the rules with VPNs.

Meanwhile, Canada's Bill C-22 would expand police powers by allowing warrantless access to subscriber information and could require service providers to build the capability to hand over data or intercept communications. Companies may even be forced to retain data they would normally delete and keep government orders secret.

As surveillance powers continue to expand, protecting your personal information has never been more important.
