One of our readers did a Political Poll in the SimpleX Group
They had Harris beating Trump by a margin
Which was fitting, because in real life, Harris voters are like SimpleX users, where no ID enables the same guy to have many mail-in identity votes
Google is a Hypocrite:
Left politically, yet dodges billions in taxes in Ireland
Pushed for Carbon Credits, yet their AI is bad for the climate
CEO said "if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide", yet no company had more of a revolving door with the Obama-Biden administrations, and Wikileaks showed rampant corruption from Podesta's leaked Gmail
IF TRUMP WINS, THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE TO RAG ON OBAMA-BIDEN THUGS,
SO LIKE OR REPOST THIS TO STICK IT EM ON THE WAY OUT
Google records audio of what you're saying OFF the phone
I've seen it first hand. I was watching an old movie on TV, and suddenly android started showing me ads for this random old movie. Do you realize how much power this company has to hear everything going on around you? To manipulate you with custom propaganda?
This isn't some crazy conspiracy theory, Silverpush android developer plugins openly sells and admits to working with McDonalds to record audio through your phone, of your laptop's Youtube videos, and then use that knowledge to show you more Big Mac ads all over the internet. They are happy to abuse your addiction to give you diabetes.
That's what made me realize I had to finally switch to a DeGoogled phone. But most people don't want to do the work or spend the money. And that's why our team is offering to do it for you, at LESS cost.

The cure sounds like the disease
Nathan Rothschild in the 18th century:
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws"
Modern Digital Agora:
"Use cryptocurrency that can't be printed or controlled, and communication that can't be taken down, and who cares who is the king"
I will find out why vidar did that, sorry to hear. You can post that stuff, you're welcome as a regular man
And the speculation is just commenting on the format in general.
Poll: Is Trump really anti-establishment?
A) No, Peter Thiel is backing him, and Thiel sells AI to the CIA
B) It's unclear. On some issues like Ukraine, he is. On others, he sides with the deep state
C) Yes, and they are trying to kill him
that's a valid hypothesis. So you're saying a "fake deep state" that's easily overturned?
I thought Trump opposed the EU worldwide government agenda, and Powell has resisted the ECB to some degree

Google's new nuclear reactors
Google announced they are backing the construction of 7 small nuclear power reactors for AI. [1] Google's AI was used by Israel, to decide which Palestinians should be droned to death. Which forced the company to have to arrest their own employees for protesting, by having police drag them out of the building. [5]
But now that Google's AI is "going nuclear", this makes them the IDEAL PERFECT TARGET for terror responses to their policies. As Google's propaganda in search results pushes for war with Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and North Korea.
They are switching to nuclear because Google's AI consumes massive power, up to TEN times more than a regular search. [2] Which is absurd, as most users don't find their AI useful. An article from the BBC, gives undeniable examples that demonstrate Google's AI giving worthless and fake information. [3]
A different publication, The Conversation confirms rampant fraud and quote "disastrous results" in Google's AI responses, to the point that it's use is a pure legal liability. [4] Even worse, Google funds left-authoritarian politicians who push Climate Change "Net-Zero Carbon", as a means to control the population through carbon credits. However, they are raging hypocrites because their own AI is pissing away power for no benefit.
To deal with the rising costs of power for useless AI, which can't produce even half-way decent written text, but yet can be used by Israel to decide who should be killed, they are building nuclear power plants right next to American families, as left-wing hate speech drives repeat assassination attempts. On Joe Rogan's podcast, Donald Trump warned about the danger from a single lone crazed individual to blow up nuclear reactors. Trump instead suggested that Joe Biden should not have blocked US companies from drilling in Alaska for purely political reasons. [6]
Google's search has been used to push forward the disproven and malicious Russia-Trump hoax, which has fueled insane foreign policy towards Russia. And Google blocked criticism of Joe Biden's son, saying his laptop was Russian disinformation. Now as the US faces conflict with Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and North Korea... Americans can rest assured that Google's money-losing AI can monitor these nuclear targets.

People mouth off "why privacy, I got nothing to hide"
It's not just "hiding", we're talking about power. You own the hardware, and you don't want to control it? Plus Encryption as identity opens the door to new political, financial, and philosophical systems.
I also got nothing to hide, and that's why I can risk being a cunt about it
Blossom is a vastly inferior product to Arweave.
They both store files, like images, in a decentralized way.
The issue is images cost money to replicate and store. Arweave solves this by programming the funds to only pay out after service. While Blossom uses Nostr key pairs and expects users to use Bitcoin.
But bitcoin has no binding contract. Therefore, Blossom is:
---Not trustless
You trust the relay won't just steal your bitcoin.
---Not as decentralized
If you can't trust the server you're paying, people will naturally gravitate to trusted nodes
---Blossom is more censored.
With Arweave you get the whole network instantly and trustlessly, but with Blossom you only get the few relays you trust to pay or host on.
---Less end-user freedom
The viewer of Blossom content is forced to pick from the poster's relays. While on Arweave, the end user picks from the entire network and can even self-host where they get content.
---Arweave is far more private.
Blossom forces you to tell many servers your IP and npub. With Arweave, the single gateway you choose or self-host knows your IP. In fact, similar to Tor, your VPN doesn't even know what content you're looking at because ALL content shares the same gateway IP.
---Arweave does entire websites
Blossom isn't designed for whole sites, it's for a jpeg meme on Nostr. While Arweave not only does whole websites, but even it's own DNS system that already works without new software. Arweave + a Nostr client would be a game-changer for images, podcasts, and even video.
My point:
You can use Blossom if you want, I'd even subscribe if my client supports it. I'm happy to see development, and I want you guys to succeed. Just don't be closed off to other solutions... because ironically that's the very censorship you wish to defeat.

What good is GrapheneOS if the person you're texting on Signal is using Google's stock malware?
The holidays are coming up. Now you could blow a grand on Google's newest fancy AI phone, with the "find my phone" feature, only for you to NOT to use those AI or GPS features which is a pure waste of money.
Or you can bank a little profit now, get a reliable 7a or 6a for you or close friends and family, and keep the rest in your favorite coin. These DON'T have the "find my phone" feature, which could be a potential hardware backdoor.
With 3 years of security patch support from GrapheneOS, and a
3 month hardware warranty from Simplified Privacy at just:
Pixel 7a: $335
Pixel 6a: $245
There is no real reason you need to spend a grand on Google's marketing hype. I'd be happy to sell you the 9 for a higher profit margin, but I got a moral obligation to tell you these are just as good.
Who knows what crypto and stock market prices will do. You can not only avoid tying your name to the IMEI hardware of the person you're giving the phone to, but also secure and lock-in some profit in a volatile market.
Plus you get an hour of education on how to use it. So if you're gifting it to a family member or friend, then if they suck with technology, you don't have to sit through their insanity.

The find my phone is on the 9, but it needs a Google account to work. It could be a backdoor, but so could anything like the mics. My point was NOT that the 9 is compromised, but more-so that these less expensive models would be great gifts to on-board people to freedom tech and privacy.
Structure of our society is corrupt

Social media - Censorship Cult

Cell Towers vs WiFi.
In this wicked useful and brand spanking new post, I'm going to teach you what data is being shared from cell towers vs WiFi, and what your options to reduce that are. The end has 3 example cellphone setups for the average person, somewhat savvy, and tinfoil hat.
~~~
When you connect to cellphone towers:
You're using the modem which has an IMEI identification number. Using a DeGoogled phone and a VPN does NOT change this from revealing info about the hardware TO the TOWER, such as where it was bought. And who bought it.
There's a couple ways to deal with this. One way is to buy it in cryptocurrency, from a company like mine. This is the easiest method for most people.
A second way is to use external hotspots for service, and buy those locally in cash. For example GLinet travel routers:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/glinet/index.html
(or crypto like Calyx/Tmobile depending on your country.) Some prefer this because then they can put it in a faraday bag to hide their location at home. And only take it out of the faraday bag outside their house.
A third way is to change the IMEI. This method is controversial, as some say it's stealth. Others say you're drawing attention to yourself by giving them bullshit or previous numbers.
Some devices are easier to change then others. And some countries have made it illegal to change the IMEI. Of course, I can not recommend anything illegal. But if it is legal in your country, then generally older things such as Nokias are the easiest. LunarDAO has a guide on this:
https://wiki.lunardao.net/imei.html
A combination of the 2nd and 3rd way can be done by using something like Blue Merle. This is software for GLiNET travel routers that changes the IMEI of the router. Then you could in theory swap different SIM cards. However, this has a high risk of potential error for a new user, and it's unclear who's audited it:
https://github.com/srlabs/blue-merle
~~~
When you connect to WiFi:
You're NOT using the IMEI. Instead, you're getting a MAC address assigned to you by the router. This is a local area network. Android randomly generates MAC addresses for each connection, and you can actually see these in the settings of the WiFi connection.
In general, Android security is pretty good for WiFi. However, the CIA loves to hack routers. From the Wikileaks documents, we know they prefer to tunnel traffic from home routers directly to the CIA to see the traffic.
There's two main ways to avoid this. First, you could always use a VPN, which then bypasses the router's DNS.
Second, you could always be behind a firewall or travel router. The router's WAN port is the one communicating with a modem (public internet). While the router's LAN or (local area network) is the one giving you a MAC address.
~~~
What are some example setups?
average person:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
\/
SIM (bought with cash)
\/
VPN
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
(using public xmpp servers)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
Savvy dude:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
\/
Silent Link (Crypto eSIM)
\/
VPN
\/
VPS you control
self-host xmpp
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
Tinfoil hat:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
No SIM. Using Tor
\/
GLiNET router w/ SIM (Using VPN)
maybe faraday bags or IMEI changes
\/
VPS you control
self-host xmpp
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
And of course, regular SMS is horrible. Go with a real messenger if the other person will allow it, (which one is actually not that critical): Signal, XMPP, Matrix, Session, SimpleX.
Self-hosting the VPS just provides another layer of protection that you control between the hostile adversary and you.
So our team can help you get a Phone, or setup a VPS:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/they-see-everything/index.html
But even if you go with another option, I hope you digest my core message:
you've got way more control than you think.
Arweave has the gateways to distribute it, which are organized by the crypto itself.
IPFS requires the user to run the pinning. And the pinners suck, because they are like regular businesses.
Earn interest on your Bitcoin
I am buying lightning channels: outbound for you, inbound for me
The principal is risk-free, and the only thing being trusted is the interest payments.
How much interest I'd pay is based on how connected/liquid you are. Reply or DM me.
I am buying Bitcoin Lightning Liquidity
Using my PGP-Monero deposit as collateral.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Simplified Privacy steps to the market to buy Bitcoin Lightning liquidity under the following conditions.
If you want to put money upfront (loan) it to open a channel, I will pay you half AFTER the opening of the channel, half at close.
Step 1.
You give me your UID.
I evaluate your node's liquidity.
We agree on price
Step 2.
I give you my public key and IP/Tor
Step 3.
You initiate, You fund the channel, you are long Bitcoin, and earning interest.
I am borrowing inbound liquidity with no spending ability.
Step 4.
I pay you half our agreed fee upon completion of the open. Simplified Privacy is regulated by XMRBazaar. Bound by a 2 XMR deposit, locked into an immutable Arweave contract with the PGP key found on SimplifiedPrivacy.eth
Step 5.
In 3-6 months, you come back and demand more fee or threaten to close the channel. If it's good, I pay you more to renew.
Rules:
1. I am NOT sending you money before the open
2. No premature closure threats
3. If you threaten me with closure because I wrote about Monero, I will use this as proof why Bitcoin is worthless. You'd be proving why Bitcoin makes you lose freedom of speech.
SimplifiedPrivacy.eth PGP signs this, then Nostr sign on top of that, as true and legitimate binding law.
