Rotten and Overpriced: Spanish Airdropped Aid Sparks Outrage in Gaza

Food aid airdropped into Gaza by Spain has reportedly arrived in a rotten state, triggering anger among locals who say even spoiled rations are being resold by merchants at inflated prices — as high as $100 per meal.

Residents describe the aid effort as more of a spectacle than genuine relief. “It’s not enough that the world watches as the Zionists genocide Palestinians and starve them,” one comment read. “When they pull a PR stunt to send 'Aid,' it’s either dropped on tents, killing civilians, or ends up in Israeli-controlled areas.”

For those who do manage to get hold of the rations, they’re often left with food that’s expired, inedible, and outrageously overpriced — deepening frustration in a population already pushed to the brink.

⚡ How Social Media Trains Your Brain

At The People’s Reset in Morelia this past January, I explained how social media companies have been learning from one another—refining their systems to keep us hooked. Stories? They're 20-second dopamine loops designed to trigger quick hits of reward.

Then there’s collaborative filtering—the AI engine behind recommendations. It tracks you from your first click, compares your preferences to millions of others, and feeds you what they like too. It's engineered addiction.

🌍 Private Connectivity, No ID Required

I was recently on a webinar hosted by Shield Your Body, and the conversation led to SIM cards. I had the opportunity to share more about the Above eSIM we launched this year — a private, no-ID-required data SIM that works in multiple countries. Check out the clip to learn more.

Watch the full interview.

What is an email alias, why might someone want to use one, and how do you set one up? Find out in today's important edition of Solutions Watch with special guest Hakeem Anwar of Above Agency.

via The Corbett Report https://ift.tt/hJgO3H2

A recent leak got my personal email spammed. I realized how important it was so I went deep into email aliases.

James Corbett was nice enough to have me on to chat about how these systems work and how we can better our email etiquette.

We even built our own email aliasing tool for Above Suite, which should be released in the next several weeks.

Check it out:

And give me some love in the comments ❤️

#TBOT 9: Monero Update, EU Age Verification Forces Google, AGPL Not FOSS?, Plastoline Inventor Missing

WATCH THE SHOW ON SUBSTACK

Here’s the stories for the week:

Monero Attack Update: We passed the date of the attack and I think it surprised everyone involved. Now we’re in uncharted territory, a war of attrition. Learn what’s going on.

EU Age Verification Forces Google On Its Citizens: The EU just released an open-source age verification app that’s supposed to be private. Only one problem - it forces use of Google services. Developers are pissed. This could impact the future of degoogled phones. Tune in.

AGPL Is Not FOSS - The AGPL license is commonly used in open-source projects, but it imposes a requirement on its users. Is it actually FOSS?

Inventor of Plastoline Missing - 21 year old inventor Julian Brown turned plastic into gasoline, in his backyard. Now he may be in danger. We’ll look into his work and whether we can turn plastic into fuel.

3D printing the first Russian high angle frequency pyramid capstone with the Bambulab P1S AMS 3D printer.

Its been challenging, enjoyable and rewarding working on bringing these powerful creations to life.

Its not long now, soon they will be out in the field, helping to harmonise the causal waves of light that move through earths unified field ❤️🙏.

⚡ What Bioinitiative 2012 Revealed About EMFs

In this clip, we discuss the groundbreaking Bioinitiative 2012 Report - a comprehensive review of over 1,800 scientific studies on the health effects of EMF exposure.

Unlike government or industry-backed guidelines, this report was created by independent scientists and health experts, and it highlights serious biological risks from even low levels of radiation—impacting sleep, fertility, DNA, and brain function.

It’s one of the most important documents for understanding why our current safety standards are not enough.

⚡️Update on the Monero Attack

Its been about a week since Qubic started its attack on Monero, which would begin on August 2nd. Although the attack failed to gain its 51% attack over Monero, they've decided to mine Monero regularly.

The attack began with some drama —Qubic claimed their network was hit by a DDoS, slowing the start, although no one has confirmed any evidence of a DDOS attack.

They mined 20% of Monero’s blocks in 24 hours. If you choose to believe it, Qubic’s data shows an all-time-high hashrate of 2.6 GH/s, holding it for ~12 hours—about 35–45% of Monero’s total hashrate.

Monero Research Lab’s Rucknium released a tool to visualize “orphaned blocks”—blocks mined almost at the same time, forcing the network to choose a chain.

If you care about Monero’s future, mine with Gupax—it’s never been easier.

⚡️EU Breaks Its Own Law, Forcing Use of Google for Age Verification

The EU just took a major step forward in their Digital ID program with an age verification app now being tested in 5 countries.

It’s pitched as a “private” way to verify your age — but here’s the catch: it recommends Google attestation, meaning it won’t work on alternative or de-Googled phones.

By enforcing this, the app will only run on Google-approved devices, even though this method is less secure. This could force everyone in the EU to use Big Tech phones when using apps tied to the system.

How did the EU respond to backlash — and what does this mean for the future of de-Googled devices in the EU?

👁️ Thoughts on Palantir: The Rise of Predictive Surveillance

On the Man in America podcast, I shared my thoughts on Palantir — one of the most powerful surveillance companies in the world. With billions in government contracts and tools like Gotham already in use by police departments, we're seeing a shift toward AI-powered predictive policing at scale. This isn’t just Big Tech anymore — it’s Big Government x Big Data.

Watch the full conversation to learn what’s coming and why it matters.

Monero Is Being Selfishly Mined

As the Qubic atack goes into its second week, we're seeing evidence of 'selfish-mining'. This happens when an attacker has a sizable proportion of hashrate and rejects orphaned blocks that are not their own.

Here's a picture from Monero Consensus showing what that looks like on the blockchain. Notice many miners had accepted the organic 'green' chain, but was rejected by the attackers.

This isn't as damaging as a 51% attack where an attacker could stop transactions and double spend - but its still quite alarming.

Thanks to Rucknium from the Monero Research Lab who built this consensus app: https://moneroconsensus.info/
