  • Ignorance is NOT bliss!

    Extremely helpful info about the real nature of cyber tech and how it is designed to deceive and subjugate us. Offers realistic solutions to the challenges presenting by tech "ecosystems."

    The device or laptop you buy from Apple or Microsoft or Google or Samsung is no longer a stand alone tool that you own, to do with as you please. Noticed that the tech companies don't refer to you as a "owner" of their product, but rather a "user."

    In a very real way, your device is not really yours, when ... more

  • A worthy successor to Michael Bazzell

    Gabriel Custodiet gives a good basic rundown on what you can do to protect your privacy, without going too technical. He also goes over a lot of the reasons why you would want to protect your privacy. I hope he doesn't drop off the Earth the way Michael Bazzell did. We need him.

219 - Maya Parbhoe: Suriname Decentralized
Q: What were your core ideas for transforming Suriname's political and economic system, especially regarding Bitcoin and governance?
Maya outlines a Swiss-inspired decentralization model with cantons, a streamlined ministry framework, a constitution drafted with broad public support, and a plan to separate money from state by enabling Bitcoin as part of a broader monetary strategy, including mining and a sovereign wealth fund to fund essential services.
218 - Ray Youssef: The War Chief in Chains
Q: What is Ray's view on centralization vs decentralization in crypto?
Ray argues decentralization is a myth and claims leadership and a central figure are necessary; he contends decentralization without leadership leads to failure and that true progress requires a strong guiding vision and accountable governance.
218 - Ray Youssef: The War Chief in Chains
Q: What is Ray's current legal and travel situation?

Develop local resilience by growing food in small-scale farming, connecting with nearby farmers, and securing supplies of essentials; diversify energy and financial sources, and maintain cash alongside tangible assets like gold to stay liquid during disruptions.
