๐ŸŒณA Treeโ€™s Response to Love

A good gardener feeds and waters their plants. A great one knows love is an essential nutrient.

New research from the HeartMath Institute suggests that focused love and appreciation can measurably affect the health of trees. Using sensors placed in tree trunks, researchers tracked electrical rhythms tied to tree vitality.

In one study, a small group spent 10 minutes a day sending love to a single tree. Its electrical activity rose almost immediately and stayed elevated. In another experiment, hundreds of people from around the world did the sameโ€”non-locallyโ€”and the trees still responded.

The findings suggest something profound: focused attention and heartfelt intention may influence living systems, even across distance.

โœ‹Biometric Surveillance: The Next Chapter of Digital Control

So hereโ€™s what I shared with Billy from Permaculture Pimpcast: if COVID was just the prequel, then biometric surveillance is the main event. Almost every country is heading toward digital IDs with biometric keys, and itโ€™s basically the final layer of control. Iโ€™ve seen it firsthand in the EUโ€™s new entry-exit systems, and itโ€™s like something out of sci-fi. This is the infrastructure that could end up controlling everything from travel to social credit.

How Deep Does the Surveillance State Really Go?

I sat down with Redacted to break down how modern surveillance actually works โ€” and why your phone and laptop have quietly become the most powerful tracking devices ever created.

If youโ€™re serious about protecting your privacy and reducing your digital footprint, this is a good conversation.

Because we are the salt of this Earth, because we are its children and youth, and because our great people deserve no less than a hundred times the effort we are making, the Ele Elna Elak, (What's Ours Is Yours) youth volunteer charity campaign, is launching the "Freedom" desalination plant, which will serve the northern areas of Gaza City and its camps. This achievement, accomplished during the genocide and without resources in such a short time, is truly like digging into a rock.

Our friend Aaron Day just dropped his new project: https://ownnothing.org/

Its a really good resource to pass to someone who is just waking up. It explores the different dimensions of the "own nothing" scam and educates a layperson on how it was rolled out over time.

I'll be releasing a new interview with Aaron this week where we discuss the fall of Bitcoin, AI, and his various projects! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿค–Aaron Day on the #TBOT Show: Bitcoin, Surveillance & the Myth of Financial Privacy

In our latest #TBOT Show interview, I sat down with Aaron Dayโ€”founder of the Daylight Freedom Foundation and creator of projects like Technocracy Atlas, Freedom Forge, and Oasara.

We dive into the surveillance realities baked into Bitcoin, the lesser-known history of the network, and how regulation and enforcement are reshaping what many still believe is a private, sovereign financial system. Aaron challenges long-held assumptions and explains why simply โ€œusing cryptoโ€ is no longer enough if freedom is the goal.

In the second half (for paid Substack members), the conversation widens to the rise of AIโ€”how it intersects with finance, surveillance, and governance, and why these systems shouldnโ€™t be viewed in isolation.

Itโ€™s a conversation that pushes beyond surface-level narratives and asks bigger questions about autonomy, power, and the future weโ€™re collectively building.

THC and Digital ID

I was recently on The Higherside Chats to talk about the global push for the digital ID and how it fits into a much larger technocratic framework.

๐Ÿชช What Do We Actually Mean by โ€œDigital IDโ€?

In a recent interview on Geopolitics and Empire, we break down something thatโ€™s started to be talked about more, but is still rarely defined clearly: what โ€œDigital IDโ€ actually is.

In this clip, I explain how digital ID goes far beyond an app or credential, tying together data, surveillance, access, and controlโ€”and why itโ€™s becoming a foundational layer of modern governance.

Do you see digital ID as convenience or control?

A Unique Look at Russiaโ€™s Biometric ID Web

I was recently on Corbett Reportโ€™s #SolutionsWatch and we dug into how Russiaโ€™s new online age verification is really a whole web of state-controlled biometrics. Instead of a simple app, theyโ€™ve pieced together a โ€œGosuslugiโ€ system thatโ€™s a public-private mashup, layering bank-collected biometrics into a national database.

๐Ÿ”Talking the Clarity Act on The Higherside Chats

Recently talked with Greg Carlwood of The Higherside Chats about something Iโ€™m calling the โ€œPatriot Act for Crypto.โ€ We broke down how the Clarity Act, which started as an anti-CBDC move, is morphing into a tool to crack down on privacy coins and decentralized exchanges. Instead of a central bank digital currency, think โ€œAmazon Coinโ€ or โ€œWalmart Coin,โ€ with new rules that basically make it illegal to โ€œsplit the billโ€ in crypto without jumping through regulatory hoops.

๐ŸคณAppleโ€™s Enhanced Visual Search Is Technocratic Behavior

In this discussion on Redacted, we look at how centralized, cloud-dependent AI on smartphones becomes a tool for surveillance. Features like Appleโ€™s Enhanced Visual Search analyze user photos at scale, often enabled by default, without consent and tied into opaque data pipelines users donโ€™t meaningfully control.

This isnโ€™t a critique of AI as a technology โ€” itโ€™s a critique of who runs it and where it lives. When AI operates inside big-tech ecosystems, tied to identity, cloud services, and data collection, it becomes technocratic infrastructure.

Bringing Enoch AI to Your Device

A little while back, I joined Mike Adams on The Health Ranger Report to talk about something weโ€™re pretty proud of: weโ€™ve rolled out a line of Above Phones and Above Books with the Enoch AI model built right in. It's a 12-billion parameter powerhouse that runs entirely offline, giving you all the AI smarts without any of the privacy trade-offs. If youโ€™re looking to keep your queries out of the cloud and on your own terms, this is the way to do it.

Check it out at abovephone.com/brighteon and see how weโ€™re making AI both smart and private.

โšก๏ธTotal Information Awareness

In a recent chat on the True Health Report, I dove into the concept of Total Information Awareness. Originally a DARPA project, the idea was to track and simulate global events by integrating vast data sources. We explore how modern AI applications, like Palantirโ€™s systems, reflect that vision, blending public and private data for comprehensive surveillance. Itโ€™s a fascinating discussion on privacy, technology, and the implications for our future.

๐Ÿค” When surveillance is built through private companies instead of governments, who is actually accountable?
