Yikes. So turns out that big tech executives are all obsessed with cheating death and creating a "master race" with their own genetics. More like a race of egotistical autists.

Great new piece from Unlimited Hangout.

https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/11/investigative-reports/cold-harbor-eugenics-epstein-and-big-tech/



Beyond his investments in anti-aging biotechnology companies, Thiel has stated “People have a choice to accept death, deny it or fight it…I think our society is dominated by people who are into denial or acceptance, and I prefer to fight it.”

Thiel is hardly the only Epstein-connected billionaire waging war against death. Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google who became a client of JP Morgan through Epstein in 2004 and later hired Epstein to advise him on a trust for his children, is the founder of a “super-secret biotech outfit [called] Calico [that] is ‘solving death.’” According to The Standard, Brin “has no plans to die.”

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who dined with a fresh-out-of-prison Epstein, has reportedly made significant investments in the anti-aging startup Altos Labs that has raised billions of dollars. Altos is developing “reprogramming technology” which in Frankenstein-like fashion could rejuvenate “cells in the lab that some scientists think could be extended to revitalize entire animal bodies, ultimately prolonging human life.”

Mega-Zionist Larry Ellison, whose CIA-contracting company Oracle has partnered with Palantir, has invested over $300 million into anti-aging research.

Mark Zuckerberg, a mentee of Thiel’s who has been intimately linked to the Palantir founder virtually his entire career, awards $3 million per year to anti-aging scientists through the scientific award he co-founded called the Breakthrough Prize. The Breakthrough Prize is also funded by Sergey Brin and his former wife, founder of genetic data-collecting company 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki.

Google’s Secret Location Database Exposed: How “Sensorvault” Tracks Billions

Just published a new piece in Druthers“Google’s Secret Location Tracking Database.”

In this article, I uncover how Sensorvault, Google’s hidden geolocation system, records billions of movements around the world and fuels the growing surveillance infrastructure behind Digital ID and law enforcement tracking.

It’s a deep dive into how our everyday devices are being weaponized against our privacy — and what we can do to take back control.

🪪 Preparing for Life Under Digital ID

I recently joined Geopolitics & Empire to talk about my latest report, Life Under Digital ID. From the UN to the World Bank, the digital ID push is accelerating—and it's going global. Soon, accessing basic services could require full biometric enrollment. In this interview, I break down how we got here, who’s funding it, and what you can still do to opt out.

Bill Gates’ new $1.4B soil bioengineering initiative, sold under the guise of “philanthropic climate adaptation,” is an effort to hijack the biosphere itself: soil mapping, engineered microbes, and genetic interventions under the banner of sustainability.

Jon Fleetwood nails it. His reporting aligns with what I’ve been saying: these aren’t isolated ag-tech projects. They’re nodes in a larger planetary bio‑surveillance grid, a system designed to monitor, record, and ultimately control life at every level, from crops and forests to human microbiomes.

🧠 New U.S. Biometrics Rule Coming to an Airport Near You

The U.S. has quietly moved from pilot programs to a nationwide biometric exit system.

U.S. Customs and Border protections will now photograph all noncitizen travelers upon entry and exit, using facial recognition linked to cloud-based databases.

This marks a major step toward a comprehensive digital ID system, replacing border agents with biometric surveillance tech.

With up to 15,000 airport gates to equip — and land borders already rolling out “Simplified Arrival-Vehicle” scanners — the infrastructure for full biometric tracking is here.

The question now: how long until it includes U.S. citizens?

🔒 How to Hide Sensitive Photos in a Vault

In Media Master: Open Source Photo and Video Editing, I showed how to create a private, encrypted photo vault using Aves Libre. Whether it's photos of ID documents, your home, or even just private moments, you can move them into a vault that's only visible within the app — locked with your passcode and invisible to other apps.

It’s a powerful way to reduce data leaks and take back your digital privacy.

⚡️Digital ID in the U.S.: From Mobile Wallets to Technocracy

In this clip, I break down how the TSA started accepting Google Wallet as a mobile driver’s license in 2024. It's the quiet rollout of digital ID under a different name, and within a few years, we’ll see it everywhere from the DMV to the bank. This is how big tech and government weave their control into everyday life.

Breaking Down Digital Control with Greg Carlwood on The Higherside Chats

Had a great time talking with Greg Carlwood on The Higherside Chats — one of the best long-running shows digging into the hidden systems shaping our world.

We got into the rise of digital ID, the future of privacy, and why I left big tech to start Above — building phones, laptops, and tools that put people back in control of their technology.

Big thanks to Greg for an awesome, open conversation.

⚡️Why Your Phone’s “Privacy Settings” Might Not Matter

In this snippet, I break down how even with the highest privacy settings, your phone constantly sends data back to big tech companies. Researchers found that iPhones and Androids “phone home” every few minutes, no matter what you choose. And most apps connect to a web of third parties, many owned by Alphabet. That’s the reality of proprietary tech: it’s a black box that tracks you, while open source gives you control.
