Today, the European Media Freedom Act fully applies in all EU countries. I wrote about this legislation in 2023, highlighting that the EMFA has little to do with "media freedom" and everything to do with control and censorship!

⚡️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.

⚡️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.

Friends,

We regret to inform our community that the Freedom Cells website (FreedomCells.org) is not currently active.

In truth, it has not been functioning correctly for some months. We apologize for that and for any inconvenience.

Our goal is always to help foster local connections in hopes of building a decentralized network of freedom communities. We have succeeded in that, but we know we can do better.

At the same time, at the end of the day, the Freedom Cell Network is not on a website or even on Telegram. It is in the real world. It is in each of you who go out and connect with like minds in your area and start focusing on solutions for building independence and autonomy.

Still, we recognize that the website has been a useful tool and we want to have it available for those who are struggling to find people in their area.

We are putting together a plan to rebuild the website and do it in a way that is more secure, more private, and more decentralized than ever.

Please stay tuned and keep building.

- Derrick Broze

Dear Abovians,

The right to ‘identification’ has been presented to us as an essential human right; Digital ID programs operational in 90% of countries. After months of researching, we conclude that Digital ID is the cornerstone of the next generation of surveillance.

We are taking a stand by publishing our Digital ID report, raising awareness and presenting solutions to help others avoid Digital ID.

These systems have been planned for decades, they reach the farthest corners of the globe; the goal is to consolidate every human being under Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) which combines identity, payments, and information exchange.

This is a global issue, and there is a lesson to be learned from every region.

North America surprises its residents with surprise biometric ID renewals. Europe and the U.K aspire for universal interoperability. South America, the Middle East, and Africa show us that developing countries receive hundreds of millions in funding for documenting their population. In Asia, we see the bleak future of Life Under Digital ID, where people live under a Digital Caste System. Rights can be taken away with a single misstep or even completely at random.

Digital ID is the first and most important component of DPI. Once enough people enroll in Digital ID, the subsequent components are easily layered ontop.

You give up your rights as soon as you enroll your legal identity with your biometrics.

Our new report will give you knowlege to prepare for the years ahead, and emphasizes that community is the answer. We have a narrow window of a few years to build resilient people-first networks to provide for ourselves and each other.

Download the report here.

Wherever you reside on earth — we are united in this challenge.

The Prosecution of Dutch MP Gideon van Meijeren: Where Media, Political, and Legal Corruption Converge

"While Van Meijeren has enjoyed a successful term challenging the current government as a Member of the House of Representatives, his battles against the establishment also extend to the courtroom, where he has been defending himself against charges of incitement since 2023. This high-stakes case not only has the potential to shape the Dutch political scene, it also seeks to indirectly grant new power to the courts to document, assess, and place value judgments on political opinions deemed unacceptable or potentially threatening. The case against Gideon van Meijeren is more than just a legal matter—it is the culmination of when a dishonest media meets corrupt politicians and malleable prosecutors."

The Digital Panopticum Aims at Full-Spectrum Control - Even Restricting the Air You Breathe

The Epstein files confirm many details about our ruling classes, how they operate & their hostile attitude towards us. All the more must we stay alert to their present plot to impose total control.

While we are told advances in digital technologies and services will improve efficiency and responsiveness to our needs, while aiming to prevent harm and bad actors, in actual fact, digital control systems are quietly being implemented across the globe to restrict individual freedom in an unprecedented manner. The goal is to build a digital prison that restricts our access to everything – including the air we breathe. As this topic is large, in the present contribution we focus on this most extreme aspect, because to most it seems too absurd to consider. But it is real. Read more here
