The Opposite of Love Is Fear

Just wanted to drop a quick note on my Palestine post yesterday. Aside from the obvious astro-turfing accounts trying to pressure this channel into silence it was also interesting to see people calling for hate.

The neo-nazi culture being promoted in "freedom/truth" movements isn't a surprise to me - its yet another psy-op that a lot of people are falling for.

They don't realize by hating an entire group of people they're validating all of the censorship / surveillance / and targeting of people based on 'hate' speech.

And they are also hurting themselves. If you desire destruction to counter destruction, you'll receive it. But probably in the form of a chronic illness.

I pray for those suffering in Gaza, and I pray that those causing it have a moment of self-awareness and change their ways. We are all one human race.

“Fill your soul with love and gratitude. Pray for the world. Share the message of love. And let us flow as long as we live.”
― Masaru Emoto, The Secret Life of Water

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” - Matthew 5:38–39

“Be merciful to others, and you will receive mercy. Forgive others, and Allah will forgive you.” - al-Adab al-Mufrad lil-Bukhārī 380

⚡Apple's Quiet Privacy Violation: Landmark Scanning Turned On by Default
@takebackourtech

I joined the Tin Foil Hat podcast and told them about a wild new "feature" Apple quietly rolled out — they’re now scanning your personal photos for landmarks. No warning, no consent, and by default, it’s turned on for everyone. This is a clear example of how little regard these companies have for your privacy.

You didn’t ask for it, and they didn’t tell you.

China is holding bare knuckle robot fights... 😨

So many questions.

⚡️Is There a Conscious Way to Use AI?

Last week I joined a panel hosted by the Independent Media Alliance to talk about the rise of artificial intelligence—its growing role in research, and the dangers of using it without discernment.

I’ve been resistant to AI, and for good reason. But during the conversation, I posed a question we all need to ask: Is there a conscious way to use this technology? Can we use it to sharpen our skills and stay grounded in truth, rather than outsource our thinking?

Watch the full panel to hear both the concerns and the potential: https://above.sh/2RsUZG

⚡️One Phone, Multiple Personas
@takebackourtech

In this clip, I talk about user profiles—separate, isolated workspaces on your phone that don’t share data with each other. It’s like having multiple phones in one, each with its own apps, files, and settings.

Whether you're separating work from personal life, or keeping sensitive tools away from casual use, profiles give you more control over your digital world.

Oh and if you are walking around on grass in cities, keep your eyes on the ground for dangerous objects. Don't get hurt grounding.

⚡️WTF Is Real ID 🪪

You’ve probably heard it’s “required” to fly—but did you know it’s really about biometrics enrollment? Face scans, fingerprints, and iris data are being pushed in 5 states (FL, GA, MS, TX, WY) under the guise of security.

No chip (yet), but it lays the groundwork for digital ID tied to your face + travel history.

👀 I read the Real ID Act & 9/11 Commission Report so you don’t have to.

💰The IRS Might Know About Your Crypto

If you use Coinbase or any custodial wallet, the IRS might already have your info. In 2017, they forced Coinbase to hand over 14,000 users’ records—and now those people are getting tax letters. 😬

Crypto ≠ anonymous when someone else holds your personal info.

⚠️ Move to a non-custodial wallet (like StackWallet) before it’s too late.

Taking a break from my tour to remind you that I warned you this was going to happen by embracing Trump and his Bilderberg, WEF backers in the form of Peter Thiel and the Technocrats.

⚡How Do We Know They're Trying to Get Into Your Phone?
@takebackourtech

I was asked this directly — and the answer is simple: companies like Cellebrite market to law enforcement showing exactly which phones they can access. Their internal docs reveal that they can’t get into a Pixel running GrapheneOS without the pincode. That’s why we use this setup.

The Above Phone is built with the highest level of security available to the public.

⚡️Apple’s Siri Listens To Your Drug Deals and Sex Life

Apple just settled a $95M lawsuit after a whistleblower revealed Siri was recording private convos—think drug deals, medical info, even sex—without consent. 😳

You can’t delete Siri. You can’t remove it. And turning it off? Doesn’t always mean it’s off.

⚠️ If you’ve used a Siri-enabled device since 2014, you might qualify for the class-action.
