The Aaron Day Show

Welcome back to The Aaron Day Show. This is season two, episode forty seven. Welcome back. We were not live last week. I was traveling and quite a bit going on in preparation for a bunch of launches that are actually going on, the first of which will be OSR this Thursday. So there's so much to go through. You don't even know where to start. And we have a special guest today. Hakeem Anwar, who's going to be joining us as well. So I'm going to go through the introductory material pretty quickly so that we can get him on board because he's quite an expert in this entire privacy realm. And I've met him a couple of times at various conferences actually around the world. And he has some very innovative privacy-based solutions that we're gonna discuss. And he's also authored an extensive research piece on digital ID, which as you know, is a topic that we discuss often on this show, but he put together a very comprehensive document on this. And so we're going to discuss that as well. But just to go over kind of a quick recap of some of the last few episodes. So the last episode we did was, you know, it was a little bit contentious. I was doing this from Florida, but it was about this whole Epstein Bitcoin coup and the fact that the house emails recently proved, which I had been speculating and others have been speculating about regarding Epstein's involvement with the MIT group. But it's now been definitively proven that Epstein actually funded Bitcoin core developers. And he also funded this entire transition period where Bitcoin went from digital cash, peer-to-peer digital cash to digital gold. The same group that he funded went on to develop all three US CBDC pilots. Two of those three pilots actually involved Bitcoin core developers. And so this is actually significant, huge news. And a lot of maxis are trying to downplay it, but it really shouldn't be downplayed. And we're digging into this And I discussed and actually showed that we've updated the technocracy Atlas and are putting together some visual tools in the minute. The full documents are released, um, regarding, uh, well, whatever, whatever they released that isn't redacted at the rest of the Epstein files. I'm going to immediately get those into a database and have that integrated into technocracy Atlas so that we can continue to crowdsource additional information. One of the things that I did, and I will play this. Um, quickly here is I, I put together a website, which I'm gonna like expand on this for the, for the holidays, for Christmas, uh, and new years, but I put together a website called boycott Bitcoin, but the, but the purpose of this really was to walk through. I provided a PDF with, um, actually let me share out the screen, um, I put together a PDF with twenty one questions to talk to your friends and family about over the holidays about Bitcoin, because, you know, people that have been in crypto for a long time have heard about block size wars and everything else. But as someone who has gone to twenty seven different states and four different countries over the last three years talking about CBDCs and technocracy, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of people on this planet are completely unaware of the hijacking of bitcoin most people don't even realize it was ever used as a currency so so i put together a pdf guide and then i created another song so i will you probably noticed at the intro i've actually developed a tool to take the songs that i've created and turn them into into music videos but i'll play this short Gentlemen, take your pitch. Better boycott Bitcoin. Yes, sir, boycott Bitcoin. BlackRock owns the whole kit and caboodle. Better boycott Bitcoin. Come on, boycott Bitcoin. Larry Finks laughing clear to the moon. Two thousand seventeen, oh me, oh my! Epstein praised it, MIT cashed his dough. Segwit locked the chain that very fall, same school builds the feds, chains for us all. Three hundred twenty-five thousand they stole, civil forfeiture, no crime, no parole, every coin on the chain. forever it's tracked digital surveillance fool's gold that's a fact today get a strike gap wants your papers to pay same hijack chain same epstein seed kyc for the Better boycott Bitcoin. Yes, sir. Boycott Bitcoin. Better boycott Bitcoin right now. Better boycott Bitcoin. Come on, boycott Bitcoin. Your revolution's just a cascow. You should use Zeno. Or Freedom Dollar instead? Happy Thanksgiving, gentlemen. Happy Thanksgiving, gentlemen. Oh, well, that's not good. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me? All right. Good. Sorry about that. I, you know, I've got, I've got to adjust the screen. I can barely see the screen and the glasses are actually not helpful today. So, all right. Well, in any event, uh, sorry about the last few, I'm not going to rehash all of this, but, uh, other than to say, uh, we did an episode on agriculture and technocracy. We're launching OSR on Thursday. Best place to watch this is thearendayshow.com. I highly recommend you check out Final Betrayal. This is a good holiday book. It's a short read. It's really only about a hundred pages. If you take out the notes, important stuff for people to talk about, given what's going on with the March for, you know, with AI surveillance, digital IDs and everything else. Tonight, I'm going to be talking about brightlearn.ai, which is a new system that Mike Adams has released where you can actually generate full-length books out of his AI system. And his system is built on, he spent a couple of million dollars over the last few years aggregating primary source material from around the world. The information he's been collecting for decades, plus, I mean, he's scouring uh, you know, every academic research paper out there. And so this thing actually generates books and I've, I've already generated two books. I've got a third one on the way, uh, and they're great because they're actually fact check. So I'm gonna do a demo of that after our, uh, interview today. So with that said, I will finally bring our guest on. Hey, how are you? Aaron? Good to see you, man. Good to see you. Sorry about the, uh, technical difficulties there. It's all good. It's all good. You're doing so much man. I'm just super excited. And I was digging those tunes in the beginning. Are those all new AI music videos? The videos are new. These are songs that I've been working on for the last year. And then really over the last month, I've been trying to refining a music video creation system. um that takes the the lyrics and there's a whole interactive advisory board to come up with the styling and everything else and so um there was a slow going there for a while but now i can create one of these things in about two or three hours so it sounds really good like it's surprised me with the level of fidelity yeah i'm excited about it i love these i love this music you know i started uh using this I don't even know how long ago, a year and a half ago or so, when Roger Ver was first imprisoned, the first song that I came up with was a Free Roger song. And then I just started playing with it and tweaking with it. And after a while, I'm like, wow, once they upgraded, I used Suno, S-U-N-O, once they started upgrading the model. I actually saw, I think last week, there's a country music song that's now number one on the charts that's AI generated. So it's crazy, man. Yeah. Aaron, something just happened with your mic. I don't know if that's me or you. You sound like you're very far away. There you go. It just fixed. All right. Weird. That's good? It's good now. I'll tell you, every time I travel, every time I come back, there's something whenever I get everything. Because when I travel, I actually take everything with me. I take my mixer. I take, you know, I'm going to stop doing that. And I take all of my computers with me. And then whenever I get back, there's always some kind of small. Time to settle little gremlins in the machine. Exactly. Well, and so when I was watching the video and I was looking at it, there was parts that they were catchy. And I think I've always been one of those people that it's like, hey, I will never you know, there's some things that I will never be able to do right. We can't make a catchy song, but that's also Like the needle is shifting there. And I was listening to it. I was listening to like some of the guitar parts and kind of the space that was in there. So Suno, it's really good. And then you say you've been working on these songs for a year. That's just kind of like the process to just make sure it sounds like that, right? Refining it. There's a lot of refining it and what I, what I like to do. So usually, I mean, not tonight because we have an interview, but often my podcasts are, I give a presentation. I may spend thirty minutes to sixty minutes going over a topic where it's like, might be, here's the history of medical tourism and, you know, all of the information leading up to why we have a robust medical tourism thing. And I put together slides and everything. And so I develop all of that content. And what I like to try to do is with each episode, create a new song based on the content for that episode. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. One of the songs that I played is called The Final Countdown. And that song is actually based on my book. So I actually used AI and I just said, hey, let's create it. Here are the parameters that I want. Here's my entire book. And then we went kind of back and forth and created an entire song based on the content of the book. So that's usually where I start with the process. So moving forward, I'm going to try to do one music video per podcast now that the process is down. And again, some of them I love. I actually listen to this stuff now. I've started listening to my own AI music and other AI music. My kids don't like it as much, but I think there's a little bit of... My daughter's in choir. My son plays the guitar. I think there's a... To your point, I think there's a, man, this is taking over everything. We didn't think that it would take over music. And I can't even imagine. I think it'll be completely indistinguishable with version six of CML. We're so early on. I have to keep reminding myself of that. of the things about creating with ai as well i think one of like as people will catch up and it'll be used a little bit more and more it will turn into who has the best relationship with their eye in the sense of the workflow like who really understands it and then also part of kind of why i've been enjoying working with ai so much is it teaches you you're growing alongside of it. It's not like you can just kind of expect it to do all the work. You'll just get the same plateau of results. So anyways, I'm digging it. Yeah, no, me too. And I agree with that. And it depends on how you use it. I mean, hopefully it is something that you're actually driving to improve your workflow as opposed to being passive about it. This is obviously the risk with this stuff. But I mean, I found if you're trying to automate a workflow, then that causes you to have to be critical about what is my current workflow? How do I do things? And does that even make sense? And so I've grown accustomed to questioning everything that I do, even if it's worked in the past. It's like, is this really the best way to do this? Probably not. So anyway. That's been exciting. Well, I'm glad to have you on. And, you know, I mean, hopefully this will be the beginning of many visits on here. Would you mind giving everybody your background and just kind of telling everybody who you are just to set the ground stage here? Yeah, absolutely. So my background is I was a web and mobile software engineer. So I built websites and I never really felt fulfilled in the corporate world working for startups and big consulting firms. I think that all came to a head that that magical year of twenty twenty when the world got flipped upside down. And I was lucky to have met Derek Brose at that time, the founder of the Freedom Cell Network and the Greater Reset. And he invited me to assist with that. And so I was kind of. Part of the wave was a core member of that team. And it just blew up over the next year. So I had this platform to share my thoughts. And what I was seeing with people is that we were taking all the right actions in the physical world, growing our own food, finding sound money, re-educating, uneducating, unlearning the things we had learned. And that's all great. Yet we were doing all of it on... digital systems that were working against us that were military contractors. And so I had to call that out. I started to do that and I realized a lot of thought leadership was needed. And so I shifted my focus to just focusing on how can people work and do their important work as privately and securely and as independently as possible to not be relying on third party infrastructure. And so it carried on to my educational initiative called Take Back Our Tech. And there's lots of guides I've done on switching to Linux, the best software to use, the different layers of privacy on phones. And then I've also started a company called Above. We were founded in twenty twenty one. We do private Google phones, secure Linux laptops, communication services, cellular services, you name it. And super excited to be connecting with you, another builder. Because that's really what the next two years are about, building as many solutions as possible. Yeah, I mean, I've been really impressed with what you put together. And I spoke at the Greater Reset. That was, I think, the first time that we met last year. And I think there's another one coming up February, right? Again, great event. I highly encourage everyone to check that out. the phone that you've put together and the features that you announced were really inspiring in terms of not only helping on the privacy front, but I think really trying to help people get their life back and to allow them to use technology in a way that's not only private, but that respects their time and that puts them in control. And I really appreciated the approach that you took with that and some of the functionality that you've put together. Yeah, thank you. That's also where I saw you speak for the first time, and it was really cool. I'm obviously not super immersed in the crypto space, but you were the second person I met who didn't use fiat at all. So I remember being impressed by that. And then with this technology side, my surveillance is a big part of the focus. because they have visibility into everything you do. And that is scary to some people. Other people say, hey, this is who I am. I'm standing in my own authority. What do I care if they listen? But it's also this aspect of being able to mind control you with these devices. As we know, as we're now knowing, the blue light coming off these devices makes you more susceptible to the messages coming off of them. So it really is not just a control grid. It's a mind control grid. And if your device is hooked up to these centralized big tech services, they have their own agenda. They have their own roadmap to immerse you, to continue pulling you into the system, your attention, your dollars, your allegiance to their advertisers. So I think it's a really important step for your own mental health to just get rid of all of it and use something that's completely detached from their grid. So thanks for seeing that. Yeah, just so that everyone knows, I mean, I've actually, my wife and I are moving over to Above Phone. And so I'm very excited about that. And actually we're gonna be partnering together. I put a link abovephone.com forward slash daylight, but we're gonna be partnering and moving forward. Cause I wanna introduce our community to these tools as well, because I think if we can provide, you know, easier ways to onboard people to these privacy alternatives, everyone will benefit. And I actually see a lot of value in being able to package things up. And I think that what you put together is a great platform for that. So again, we'll talk more in detail about that, but I'm very excited about that. Yeah, for sure. Me too. And if you guys are watching this live, you know, this is a kind of a collaborative effort too. There's so many directions we could go. I'll just kind of tease the announcement, right? But let's say you had a phone. What would that phone have that would be helpful? out of the box Aaron has covered so many tools just um engage engage with us right what do you what do you want to see because I think that's exciting when we create something together and um we will get a hands-on demo of some of these things today we've got the phone and the laptop right here we'll do some AI stuff I know that's very popular with people and we'll just get a look at how the phone works too um And then we could also understand, I think it's really important to understand, like, why are we even doing this in the first place? So there's a lot we could talk about on the privacy front, the different layers to the phone's privacy and how it could actually get you in legal trouble. That's where it's all heading, to really facilitate the extortion and, yeah, imprisonment of anyone who steps out of line. It's unfortunate that things are this dark, but that's also why we need to take real action. I agree. I've noticed that you've been on the podcast circuit pretty heavily this year. You've been on Survival Podcast, Last American Vagabond. You've been on with Mike Adams and all over the place. What's the sudden urgency on this? Because I sense it as well. There's a shift going on. This is even true within the crypto world. There's a I'm not going to pound on Bitcoin much more, at least for right now, but there's been a big surge in interest in privacy coins and in privacy in general. What do you think has been the catalyst for this? that's a good question well i mean so i've been talking about this stuff for four or five years and i think the big tech companies they do the job for us i think that the really important thing that happened in twenty twenty five was palantir basically to sum it up it's this new paradigm of surveillance and previous uh the previous paradigm let's talk about the snowden era you guys remember seeing those uh powerpoints and it was like big tech provider, big tech provider, big tech provider, all feeding into the NSA. But guys, that was just the NSA. That's just their purview. And so it's not guaranteed that all agencies would work with each other and share data with each other. And so the DEA had their own deal with AT&T to log everyone's phone calls and text messages. This was a secret warrantless database, but that was just the DEA's database. they weren't sharing it with the NSA, right? There might be some friends and organizations that would do it independently. But the problem was they're all separated. So Palantir really changed that because they learned from big data companies that have just been part of the cloud computing revolution in the past twenty years. And they learned that they could build reliable big data solutions and plug them in to different sources. And on the public side of things, the municipal side of things, they started to plug them into everything. And so that's what Palantir is. And I call this unified surveillance, where any organization could build their own big data platform and load it with surveillance footage that they got from a public library. If the state wanted to do that, They can do that from the public library, from campus security reports, from the people who are signing in to a campus building and the sheriff's office and all the likes. And so that's one aspect. Then they can also go to the private entities and make a deal either commercially or because it's the right thing to do, right? You want to help us crack down on crime and make the streets safer. So you have also big box stores that are going along with this. And so now it's almost like you are out of the equation because these private parties have the freedom to exchange with each other and do these contracts. We now exist in unified surveillance. And the end result of that is this. this data sharing that happens whether you like it or not. And now you actually need to be, you need to think about where you go out in public. So that was kind of long-winded, but yeah, it's this aspect of unified surveillance. It's going on without it. It's not even something you have to say yes or no to. It's just out there in the world. So I think people are very aware of that. And so there's companies like Palantir. There's also companies like Flock. Have you seen that D Flock meme app? No, I haven't. Ooh, this is crazy. Let me bring this up. All right. So. Like Palantir, I'm actually going to cover this on this week of the T-Bot show. I didn't get a chance to yet, but this map is crazy. Let me see. Let me zoom into a random place. All right, let me zoom into Denver Bandit. Let's go to Albuquerque, a small town like Albuquerque. Here we go. So these are automatic license plate readers and not just license plate, but the make, model, your bumper stickers. And so these, it's like, these are already deployed. There's like a hundred in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is not, it's not a huge city, but the freeways, important intersections. If you go to a big city, you kind of see that they're all sporadically spaced out. So guess what? You're on a you're on some surveillance database, just driving around and semantically your car can be searched and pulled up. So all they, all it takes is they combine this with public records, which they, they have the ability to, they know where you are. They could just, where's, where's this guy right now? Okay. I saw his car over by County road, Northeast, right? So minority report, all those movies we're seeing, like it is here. That's great. That's frightening. Yeah. Yeah. So this is dfloc.me. The CEO, so the cameras are called Flock cameras. So it's this activist group called dfloc.me. They have this really great website. They're encouraging people to do FOIA requests, which is all great stuff. And the CEO of the Flock camera, he called them terrorists, which was really funny, actually. They call them domestic terrorists and liken them to Antifa, which I don't know. You know, I'm sure they have a political stance, but I don't see any politics on their site. So that's just it's just kind of unfair. And I think this is really important to crowdsource this data. Oops. So I think that. I think that the next two years, Aaron, like it's really important to build crowdsource technology where we we have the AI that does the structuring and stuff, but we're relying on humans for our eyes and ears, like as many cameras as they are on this map. Where are our eyes and ears? Are we actually sharing the data in a useful way? So that's why I think projects like Osara are going to be really useful. And yeah, Yeah, Osara and then actually Own Nothing, which related to what you said is the idea behind Own Nothing is you'll be able to actually paste these ClickRap agreements that you sign and see the rights that you've given away since no one has time to read a hundred page document. But what you said, I've covered in a couple of different episodes on this Palantir issue, but it's really going, accelerating in the healthcare realm. Most people think of Palantir as doing predictive policing or being involved with the CIA or intelligence community. But now they're actually, they have a contract with the NHS to build a database on everyone in the UK. And now they're doing the same thing, connecting hospitals, connecting wearable device companies, connecting all of this health information. as well, and then marrying that health information. And this is really ramping up. This is something that's a key part of Operation Stargate. So people have to understand that this is not a five-year plan. This is something that's being actively rolled out right now. And the consequences of it are pretty dire. I mean, we're very clearly moving to a place in the healthcare realm, for instance, where insurance companies like United Healthcare and Cigna have already started using AI for basically claims denial. They call it claims processing, but there's a lawsuit against United Healthcare alleging they deny a ninety percent of Medicare Advantage claims. Starting next year, this is bleeding into HHS. So Medicare and Medicaid is going to start doing this as well. And so they're going to start integrating this data. And it turns out HIPAA doesn't protect anybody because the people that you don't want to have your health information have it through HIPAA. So your health insurance company and the government actually has access to this information. So this should be a red flag situation for people to understand what's going on with this data. So I'm glad you've been out there pounding the pavement on this. You've really gone deep into this digital ID realm, which I discussed, but your report goes into much greater detail than I covered. What have you found and what's your understanding of the lay of the land with digital IDs globally and in the US right now? Yeah, so I think that when you have these very scary trends, agendas like digital ID, the first instinct might be, okay, let me just go somewhere where they're not doing this. We saw that a lot during COVID. It was very interesting how the greater reset, the people's reset, that conference that's coming up January, we had so many people from Europe come because Mexico was one of the only places that didn't have vaccine requirements. That's what stirred inside me, hey, is there a place that I can go to get away from this? And it turns out it's happening pretty much everywhere. And that was very surprising because I figured that South America or Africa, so many of those countries, they don't have phones. How are they going to have digital ID? You're good. But it turns out... There is a very coordinated, forceful move that has the support from organizations like the World Bank. It's got the support from banks around the world. It's also got support from the local state governments, usually because they have greased the wheels. Like, for instance, the World Bank will give they gave Nigeria four hundred thirty million dollars to roll out a biometric ID card. And so they spent something like they spent one hundred and fifty million dollars just to send people out into the remote villages of Nigeria. Most of the time they don't have running water. They don't have grown food. You know, this is like and so like at these levels of poverty, they invested so that they could document the undocumented population, which, of course, the millions of peoples in these developing countries. So that's just how far it goes that no one is being left out of this. And so with the report, I discovered the different flavors of digital ID around the world. The Western countries, United States, Canada, Australia, and the EU and the UK to some degree, they have a more democratic approach, quote unquote democratic, but it's really a facade. They say that They say that digital ID will always be voluntary. It's kind of similar to what they said during COVID. Oh, no one forced you to take the vaccine. But what I discovered is these things are going to be mandated by proxy. Like in many places, you'll lose the ability to drive. And so in the Western countries, they're going to go through the third parties, the side channels. And in the Eastern countries that are a little bit more upfront and authoritarian, they will just have every public service demand this new form of digital ID. That's what Russia is doing. So anyways, there was something to learn from every single continent and how they were doing it. An important date, you also asked, like, there are so many crises that we are going through right now. I think an important date for people to pay attention to is twenty twenty seven. Not only is there an astrological importance of that, whether I'll just kind of leave that out of the conversation for anyone who's interested in that, but. It's also the date that comes up over and over in my research in digital ID. And I think that's worth paying attention to. In twenty twenty seven, all businesses in the EU must accept digital ID as a form of identification. So that means. You could be in digital ID with any interaction you have in daily life, going to the cafe, parking your car, right? It could all use digital ID. It's also that way in Australia. The timeline looks very similar for that. There's no law yet, but the timeline, the direction we're going, it looks very similar for the US. So I think twenty twenty seven is going to be a really important year where you're going to have to make the choice. of whether you're going to the grocery store and potentially having some sort of interaction with their ID system or you have your own parallel economy. So that's one day I think people should be paying attention to because we have a year and a month. It's crazy. Yeah, this is very important. And I actually discussed this as well. If there are seventeen countries that just signed into law at the same time, I think covering three and a half billion people. digital ID and the implementation of that is twenty seven twenty twenty seven. And there were the same four technology vendors. They use the same PR firm to promote the language. You actually have Tony Blair's organization involved in the center of this. And this is why I spend so much time talking about technocracy, because this is all a global movement. This is a global interconnected movement. You mentioned Nigeria because, you know, my area focus had been predominantly CBDCs, although it's extended more to technocracy more broadly. Nigeria had one of the first CBDC programs. And I was actually on some Twitter spaces with some people in Nigeria. And they're like, there isn't a single person in the country that asked for this. And of course, For the very same reasons, why would Nigeria with the low percentage internet access be one of the first places? And what I found in studying the CBDC issue is that you have the World Bank and the IMF going into these developing nations and putting the pressure on. But what I realized is the reason that they're doing that is if they can figure out how to get the toughest use cases. then they can figure out, for instance, how to hit rural populations in the U.S. or in the West. Right. Because eventually they're like, let's go over that. Let's figure out what the technical roadblocks are for a complete global rollout. So you find out that this is this is what's going on. And I think I really went deep in the CDC research because there are a lot of rural places in the U.S. where you could say, well, how are they going to roll out a CDC here? And then in researching this, Well, I mean, of course, you could have a debit card or whatever that is attached. It's a CBDC. You don't necessarily have to have a phone to use it, but that card is actually tied to your account. So when you go to Walmart or wherever you need to go, but even the idea of integrating, making post offices a place that you can go. to engage in finance. So it really is, it's something that, because a lot of people that would talk to you about CVDCs were like, oh, this is way off. They're never going to be able to solve this problem or this problem. And it turns out they're actively working on it in a very coordinated manner globally, and they're sharing resources. And so you find that a lot of conferences where you'll have the WEF and the IMF and the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements, involved in coming up with common frameworks for how to solve these problems. Yeah, you're spot on. And so they've been working on this for twenty years, at least with digital ID. And the idea of digital ID and CBDCs, they're closely married. They actually are married. They're made for each other. They need each other to exist. So the types of programs you're seeing for CBDCs, have also been going on for digital IDs. And it's, I think another reason they do it, right? There's this language barrier. We have no idea what's going on in Nigeria. We don't speak these languages. So it's much easier, it's much faster. And of course, they're a poorer country. So it's easier to make things happen. Whereas your Western populace is gonna be more resistant. They're gonna be more awake to it. So it's their proving ground to do this stuff. And so that's a good insight there. Another thing that I think is important to recognize, so this is a part of something called digital public infrastructure. which is a United Nations Development Program concept where it's this trifecta of things they need to build this control grid. We all know a little bit about the surveillance grid. That's what we were talking about at the beginning. It's Palantir. It's absorbing information from everywhere. It's the big tech. It's them seeing what you're doing on every device. Well, the control grid is going to control your behavior based on algorithmic input, and it's going to change your life. Actually, it's going to have an impact, it's going to have a feedback on you. Digital public infrastructure is what that is, and there's three components to it. There is the digital identification, which is the first piece. You need the legal identity with the biometric identity. That's something I usually emphasize as I'm talking about this. As soon as you give your legal identity with your biometric identity, which is usually what happens in an identity verification, that's it. Nothing else needs to happen. You do that to a bank, You do that when you're renewing your ID, it's the same thing. Now you've given over the two keys, the master key over, and they could create their digital ID for you. That's the first piece. Once they have that, then any money that's given to you or any digital currency that's attributed to you can be associated with that. They need each other to survive. Digital ID will come first and right after that, they've been working on CBD for such a long time, it'll come out of nowhere. In fact, it may not look any different than what we're using today with Apple Pay and Google Pay. It might just be like a little switch that you use. I was going to say that I was going to say that people need to be very, very careful of handing over their biometrics this next year. Until twenty twenty seven, it may look like it's the same exact the same exact offer with the vaccine. At first, they're going to make it really, really nice and sweet, like free donuts, free lap dance at the strip club. Come on. you know, a chance to win a free car for your digital ID, right? All this bull crap. And then after a certain point, I'm guessing that twenty twenty seven, then they're going to come down with a stick and your life is actually going to get hard. Yeah, and I actually think and we talk about this a lot with. While Trump came out against the CBDC explicitly, what they've done with the stable coin legislation is essentially a backdoor CBDC, so now you're taking Tether and USDC, and then you're adding KYC and all of the tracking. So there's an illusion that people have that, oh, we stopped CBDCs. The issue, the problem isn't that the digital currency is issued by a central bank, whether it's issued by a central bank or JPMorgan Chase isn't the issue. It's whether or not it's tracked to your identity. That's what people should be worried about. And so they've managed to do this head fake and say, well, at least at least it's not the evil Federal Reserve. And believe me, I will never defend the Federal Reserve. But when you look at the legislation and the seventeen different programs that are involved in tracking our financial transactions today, those come from congress not the federal reserve the federal reserve is not going out of their way to add financial surveillance it actually makes their job more difficult so congress passed the bank secrecy act in nineteen seventy congress passed the patriot act congress passed all these things that we now have to deal with whether you are getting a bank account or a crypto account that that did not emanate from the federal reserve and so a lot of people now have a false sense of security and complacency around this issue when in reality they're getting broader and faster adoption for trackable digital currencies through this stablecoin act called the Genius Act. And now with the Clarity Act, they're going to basically start creating centralized digital tokens for your stocks, your bonds, and your commodities that also have to go through the know your customer stuff so we're giving government control over the tokenization of all of our assets so this is happening uh at a you know this isn't about even un agenda i think you hit the nail on the head this is about and a lot of people like well the bad things will start in it's like no this will be fully rolled out by yeah and it might not be rolled out or marketed through the WEF or the UN, but the end result is the same. It's a global technocracy infrastructure. I want to ask you a question since you're an expert on this crypto regulation. So the Genius Act, they basically, they have this rule, the Mixer rule, any privacy technology that takes custody of someone else's crypto is now, they need to be a licensed money transmitter, right? That's the gist of it. what do you think is going to happen to many of these cryptos that are private by design like xano or monero or and do you think that i mean and we also you know we're just you're covering that right now how bitcoin seems to be uh seems to be co-opted from the start why would they kind of want to hurt hurt people who use bitcoin by doing this do you think that like usually when i see them pass laws like that, it makes me think, oh, well, the privacy technology is actually working. So what do you think about that? Yeah, well, I think the privacy technology is working. The EU is taking the lead. Interestingly, by twenty twenty seven, privacy coins are going to be illegal in Europe. And so from a practical matter, this is why is a differentiation. I like privacy by default coins that don't have a mixing function because the idea of the mixing function is you just put a pool, a bunch of things together and you you know, change out the outputs. And then, you know, in theory, you can't track who it's from, although there are certainly techniques that can do that. And so this is why privacy by default is really important. And so I think this is why you're seeing privacy coins have significantly outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum over the last year and a half or so. I mean, Zcash just had a huge run. Zeno was, you know, two dollars when I got involved in it, eighteen months ago. I think that it's becoming very clear to your point, they do work and they're gonna do everything that they can to shut off the exits. And as I always say on this, we're not gonna be able to comply our way out of technocracy. People are like, well, what if they ban it? Well, they could ban it, but they can't stop it. And that's the thing about privacy by default. But I will tell you with Bitcoin, what is alarming about Bitcoin, I actually see this narrative shaping up where I can see a scenario where we have a digital token that is backed by Bitcoin. So you have a token on top of Bitcoin and then you have two levels of surveillance. So Bitcoin is, if you wanted to call it digital gold, it's actually digital surveillance gold because Bitcoin is more trackable than than cash, than anything else. And so then you're gonna have that backing, imagine a token created on Ethereum or whatever the blockchain is that's backed by that. So now you have two levels of surveillance, two different ways that you can get at stopping the momentum and stopping the transactions. And I actually see that starting to shape up. And by the way, I mean, I have to say it because it's been all over my feed the last two days. Elon Musk has been coming out and saying, well, Bitcoin is better because it's backed by energy. understand that is the very definition and the very core of technocracy going back to the nineteen thirties. The core premise of technocracy is to flip the entire economy from being a price based system to an energy credit based system. This idea comes from the nineteen thirties. And now Musk is promoting this and people people are lapping it up, not understanding what the implications are of this. It's a governance model. It's not about efficiency and it's absurd. It's something like I had a meme about it, but Because Bitcoin only does seven transactions per second, you know, the amount of energy used just to do a transaction. Well, the cost of something doesn't make it valuable. I mean, this is a fundamental like just because something's expensive doesn't mean it's useful. And so we've gotten way off on the economic proposition of this. But this is why governments like Bitcoin. Why wouldn't governments like Bitcoin? It's trackable and now they can seize it. And I argue with people all the time. Excuse me. I argue with people all the time, particularly in the Liberty community, where they say, well, it's decentralized, it's censorship resistant, it can't be stopped. OK, well, if that's the case, then how did the US government end up with three hundred twenty seven thousand Bitcoin? Why is it that I have friends and people that I know personally that have had millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin confiscated by the federal government? In theory, they can come to you and track your crypto and you can say, well, I refuse to give you my private key and then you can spend the rest of your life in prison. So I guess technically you didn't give up your coins, but what's the value of that? That doesn't actually have any usefulness. And then they can flag your coins anyway and then put you on some kind of OFAC list or whatever. So I think that the problem, and I expressed a lot of frustration on the last podcast, is most people just don't know about this. And so I don't blame the majority of people because they haven't even been exposed to this information. But it's the people that are libertarians that were involved with Bitcoin in two thousand twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen know better and don't care anyway, just because they're seeing about their value of Bitcoin increase. Those are the people that I have an issue with, the people that know better and are turning a blind eye to what's going on there and for a very rude awakening. And it is really sad. I mean, I think that's another insidious aspect of Bitcoin as a store of value or as digital gold, right? Everyone's happy as long as the numbers go up. They have all this money, but they don't know. I mean, it's one, it's not real. Two, you're already having to tax out of it. There are very few ways to spend your Bitcoin online, as you probably know, in a way that is private, in a way that is peer-to-peer. going back to like this day this year, twenty twenty seven, like I'm interested in what you think. But what I think is the most useful thing people can do right now is just get connected with their local community, talk about these issues, share this this this Thanksgiving Bitcoin questions that you've done, share the digital report ID report that I've done and really say, hey, if this comes to our town, and the grocery store is now demanding you scan your digital ID when I go in, can we make sure that at least you and I won't impose digital ID on each other or won't be using these payment apps? And if you can do that with a hundred and fifty of local people in your community, ideally productive people, farming builders, generally helpful people in some way, you're going to be in a better place than like ninety five percent of people honestly um and it's not that much work right it's maybe like an hour of time investment per person uh so so i i really think that that connecting with people is is the answer to all this and building that counter economy yeah i think that's the case but but i also think that once you understand that The approach of the technocrats is there is no one left behind. Their system does not coexist with other systems, so we can't hide from it. We need to get enough people to understand the technocratic threat, and we need to get enough people out of it to stop it. Because they require a high degree of compliance for success, but we actually need to move numbers in a big way. This is why a lot of the things that I'm going to be launching next year, like OSR, for instance, if we give you a million people off of insurance in this country, that would have a big impact on their ability to control the health care system because the health care system is it's effectively bankrupt. I mean, we have two hundred trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities and everything else. And in doing a bunch of research, I found, for instance, if fifty percent of the people in the US that have type two diabetes instantly were cured, it would bankrupt the system. Once you actually see how many people the fixed costs for the facilities and the training and everything else, the system has zero incentive people to become healthy so so so if we become healthy if we become independent if we stop using their currency um and enough of us do this we can actually stop stop the trend the problem that i have is i mean i teased it in one of the one of the videos the last video that i played songs but uh the problem that we have is that right now based on what happened with the election, there are people that think that we have nothing to worry about. They think that we elected the Avengers and we defeated the globalists. And in reality, we've actually enabled and hyper accelerated the globalists. So this is the biggest threat that we have. And I'm gonna be announcing something probably here in the next few weeks to try to accelerate learning on this. So yes, form local communities, take direct action. get directly involved in your health, get directly involved in your money. And then more importantly, and we're in a good time to go through all of this now, but AI, most people in general are worried about AI. You and I recently saw that at a conference that we were both at. I think most of the people at that conference are way ahead of the curve in general, but we're very much either AI is a bubble or it's vaporware. Or whatever it happens to be. AI is real. And there's a battleground with AI, just as there's a battleground with digital currencies, which is, are you going to have a private self-custody version of it that is uncensored? Or are you going to be using a Palantir system that has, you know, that's trained on bad data and then has more censorship on top of it? So we have these parallel things going on. So there are choices. along the way i don't think that ai can be ignored and so and so i think that we need to figure out how to embrace the the freedom elements of these technologies and to figure out how to scale that now obviously scaling that is the difficult part because as you said what way of one year in one month we have until twenty twenty seven and and from where i'm sitting like we've got to convince people that they didn't just defeat the globalists right i don't i can't tell you how often people that is actually the issue that we have the biggest rug pull frankly is in medical freedom with people thinking that oh rfk is there so now medical freedom is one and in reality they're accelerating the ai front they're accelerating wearables Well, exactly. While he tells you, he says he wants every American to wear a Apple smartwatch or whatever, which is already sharing data with HHS. I think this is a really good direction for the conversation. We know United Nations Sustainable Development Goal sixty nine, right? Digital legal identity for all by twenty thirty. So, yeah, very ambitious goal of everyone on the planet. If we have to make our own goal, and I'm starting to understand what you're doing better now is you're taking pieces of the puzzle, setting a goal for that. So pulling a number of people out of the insurance system will lead to its collapse. What do you think the percentage of people for some of these issues, like, for instance, the banks – And I know these are super broad questions, but what intuitively feels like the right number of people to hit just so we have markers for our progress? Well, it's interesting. So I put together a link in the notes to the technocracyatlas.com where I put together this technocracy threat level. It's kind of a scoring system like the DEF CON system as to where we are in terms of on the digital ID front, on the CBDC front, and on the AI surveillance front. And I And this isn't finalized. In fact, I'm definitely looking for feedback if people have different ways of looking at this. So I'm not presenting this as the definitive scorecard, but I wanted to put out a scorecard at least to start that people can react to. And it's alarming when you look through this Because we already have twelve states with digital versions of real ID. There are three and a half billion people that are under digital IDs now or where the law has been passed. It may not be fully implemented. I mean, we're talking about a serious situation here. I ran for president in twenty twenty four. And I actually, like my campaign, I had a bank run manifesto. And what I said is if we can get two to three percent of people to stop using the dollar, there's that kind of magical two to three percent number. But I honestly, I couldn't fully defend that. But intuitively, I think it'
