Your Phone Is Disrupting Your Mind—Even When It's Off

During my talk at The People’s Reset, I shared research showing how just having a phone in the room—powered off or on airplane mode—can weaken your focus and performance.

Notifications fracture our attention, and studies now show smartphone-addicted students experience lower levels of deep learning and flow state. Plus, we’re offloading memory to our devices, a phenomenon called digital amnesia.

⚡️New Leak Uncovers AI-Assisted Mass Censorship on Facebook

Whistleblowers say Meta’s takedown system was hijacked. After Oct 7, the Israeli gov flooded Meta with thousands of post reports. Approved 94% of the time, this “poisoned” the AI into auto-censoring Palestine-related content worldwide.

ICW estimates 38.8M posts were removed not for violations, but because the model was over-trained on biased reports.

⚠️ Is the Threat Real?

On the Man in America podcast, I was asked whether concerns about a Chinese-style social credit system or digital ID prison in the U.S. are just conspiracy—or something more. With Palantir securing massive military contracts and Big Tech execs being sworn into the Army Reserves, it’s no longer hypothetical. The infrastructure is being built now.

Digital ID, predictive policing, AI surveillance—this is the real threat of our decade.

Researchers at UCSF recently disabled a gene in mice that controls "AMCase," the enzyme that breaks down chitin (found in insect protein). Without AMCase, the mice developed inflammation, lung disease and died UNLESS researchers "reverted" the genetic change or fed AMCase nasally.

The WEF has been pushing insect protein (Eat ze bugs!), and over the past few years, it has quietly entered the corporate food supply across the EU and even US.

When we see gene-altering mRNA now in pharmaceuticals and even food (see Terrana!), and chitin increasingly being added to the food, it's worth asking, with some high-octane speculation:

- Is FOOD being used to deliver a binary weapon in the depopulation agenda?

- Is chitin being introduced into the food supply precisely as human biology is being re-engineered to make it an even more potent toxin?

It sounds wild, but then, crazy proposals, like WEF-linked "bioethicist" Matthew Liao suggestion to engineer TINY humans to be allergic to MEAT to reduce our carbon footprint, reveal the technocrats really do think this way.

If the food supply is being weaponized against us, there is no better time to start gardening, raising animals, and returning to nature and truly regenerative solutions -- and I mean real ones, not the WEF's CRISPR-fueled biodigital convergence dressed up as sustainability.

Palantir for Cars Hits U.S. Hardware Stores

Have you driven to the hardware store recently? If you have, your car may be in a searchable database thanks to Flock cameras. These systems scan every license plate, detect gunshots, and provide live footage to police.

All data feeds into Nova, a Palantir-like search platform where cops can look up things like “brown SUV with a dented door.”

The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act request and handed the data over to 404.media who first reported on this.

They produced a PDF showing police departments and locations that use Flock cameras, including 171 Home Depot and Lowe’s locations across the United States.

I ran the document through OCR, uploaded it to the Internet Archive, and made it searchable (the first page is a bit garbled, but the rest is readabable.) Check to see if your store is on the list:

⚡️Resurgence of FreePhones (Free Payphones)

In rural Vermont, electrical engineer Patrick Schlott built 3 “FreePhones” after noticing poor cell service. His company RandTel converts plain old telephone service into digital signals and broadcasts them online, allowing anyone to make a call.

Inspired by PhilTel (Philly) and Futel (Portland), these community phones don’t surveil users. Some even use VPNs.

Futel explains: “Denial of telephony services has long been a tactic against undesirable populations… we will help establish a new era of communication.”

At TBOT & Above Phone, we align with this vision. Like FreePhones, our internet numbers don’t require personal info, aren’t tied to towers, and let you run multiple numbers on one device. Best of all, this internet phone number is built right into the Above Suite—a complete solution for private, flexible communication.

My work on Glenn Beck many years ago!

"The climate change hoax was manufactured for the sole purpose of implementing UN Agenda 21 (which later became Agenda 2030), as explained by Glenn Beck back in 2012."

Apple has made headlines in recent weeks for touting its commitment to privacy and human rights, rolling out tools to limit surveillance and spyware. But behind the corporate messaging lies a much darker reality.
The company has quietly brought in dozens of veterans from Unit 8200, Israel’s shadowy military intelligence unit known for blackmail, mass surveillance, and targeted killings.

Many of these hires took place as Israel escalated its war on Gaza, and as CEO Tim Cook publicly expressed support for Israel while disciplining employees for pro-Palestinian expressions. Apple’s deepening ties to Israel’s most controversial intelligence raise uncomfortable questions, not only about the company’s political loyalties, but also about how it handles vast troves of personal user data.

Read @Alan.R.MacLeod’s new investigation, that identifies dozens of Unit 8200 operatives now working inside Apple - https://www.mintpressnews.com/apple-israel-unit-8200-hiring/290226/
