Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.
This video is going viral on other social platforms, but on X... 400 impressions. Ironically, here is where I found the most propaganda.
Check your sources, consume media from multiple sources and challenge the things you see. Please! It's so important.
New technology is breeding new propaganda. I dive into the massive amounts used during the French and wider European protests. What's the worst you've seen?
"The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human."

crypto are the good guys, ai are the bad guys. it was unbelievable to most until recently.
This slide by @hosseeb is why I left the AI industry in 2018 to go all in on crypto.
I saw that AI would inevitably centralize power in governments and large corporations, and that crypto was the countervailing force to empower individuals and keep humanity free.

When I first got to San Francisco I went to a protest outside OpenAI but nobody was there... so I started asking questions. This inevitably led me to create a conspiracy wall in my bedroom and developing a theory called 'the reality line'.
Chapters:

0:38 The protest paradox
3:13 The culture of silence
6:36 Suchir Balaji
8:38 It's getting worse
9:14 Narrative warfare
12:10 The reality line
13:37 The damage is already happening
17:32 The forest is on fire
18:28 Why was nobody at the protest?
I hope you take something away from my research, I spent many late nights on this one :)

Everytime you make a phone call you sound alarm saying please kidnap me I have crypto please rob me it’s all I want that’s why I bought this dumb phone
Your wealth is digital. The device you manage it with should be built for that.
Meet Ledger Atom™: the security of industry leading hardware, the convenience of your everyday apps, plus control over your AI tools, and a rapidly expanding platform of apps, all in one quantum ready device.
Agents propose. You approve. Your Ledger signer enforces.
One of the best defences is privacy and not flaunting you have something worth stealing, I made a video about this - the ledger co-founder has been kidnapped similarly too. Unsure what’s going on at ledger given this and the recent supply chain attack. xitter.cf/nevscape/status/209618…

Julian Assange said this in 2018.
He warned that advances in information processing and AI could outpace our ability to understand and shape our own future.
Eight years later, are we keeping up?

incredibly well made video on privacy, vpns, surveillance
I love seeing content like this getting more attention and people realising they can do things to take back some control of their lives and data
been watching nev's content for a while but I guess he fell out of my algo recently. saw a post from that reminded me to check for new videos
as always, great production, research, storytelling, etc. glad to see him getting more recognition and his YT channel starting to blow up more
remember, privacy should be for everyone
