All right, hello and welcome.
This is a general update to give you some news of things that are happening with Brighteon, with Natural News, with my upcoming public speaking gig in Tulsa, and some other things like that.
So it's not a situation update, not a critical update, but I thought you might want to hear some of these things.
So to start off with, I'm speaking in Tulsa at the Thrive Time Show event.
And what's really incredible about this event is who else is coming?
Because also speaking is Lynn Wood, Sidney Powell is coming, Dr.
Andrew Wakefield, Charlene Bollinger.
Let's see, I've heard Patrick Byrne is coming.
I've heard that Mike Lindell from MyPillow is coming.
That's not 100% confirmed yet, but that's what I've heard.
Dr.
Simone Gold, Is going to be there.
And really, even way more people.
Jeffrey Prather is going to be there.
And even more names.
I mean, this thing is somehow just spontaneously shaping up as this revival event for America.
And it's happening just outside of Tulsa on the east side of the city.
You can get more information at thrivetimeshow.com.
Which is Clay Clark's organization.
Thrivetimeshow.com Click on the...
What is it?
The weekend seminars or something that he says there.
And...
There are 4,000 tickets, well, maximum 4,000 seats available in this church where this event is happening.
And the 4,000 seats are almost gone right now.
They could probably, with the slate of people that they've got speaking there, including myself, they could probably sell 20,000 tickets to this thing.
But it's limited to 4,000.
I don't know if anybody's live streaming it.
I don't know.
In fact, this whole thing has just kind of come together spontaneously, you know, organically, thanks to Clay Clark and his organization.
So he invited me and I haven't spoken publicly for a couple of years, mostly for security reasons, you know, but you wouldn't believe the security they've got there.
And the.
basically like secret service level security and probably more than half the audience is packing heat, you know, because also it's a mask free event.
And everybody's armed, no masks, but definitely lots of pistols.
So that's what's happening.
And if this ends up live streaming, or if there are videos that get posted from it, which I'm hoping there are, then I will definitely let you know about that.
I'm giving a half an hour presentation, and it's going to be about how we can take back The freedom of speech in our country and use that to take back our country, by the way.
But it's going to be a bombshell.
I'm already putting together some of the elements of that presentation.
It's going to be...
You won't want to miss that.
And I don't speak publicly very often, by the way.
But, you know, how could you miss this kind of event, right?
How could I miss it?
So, oh, also Scott McKay is going to be there.
I'm not sure if he's speaking.
I know he's going to be there, and there are a lot of other people coming who are not necessarily speaking.
But this is going to be a who's who of patriots and And, you know, pro-Constitution Americans.
Oh, General Flynn is speaking as well.
I mean, seriously.
I'm just honored to be invited.
So, definitely check that out.
All right, the next piece of news is that we're getting very close to releasing our live streaming capability on Brighteon.com.
Now, this will be approved on a limited basis at first, account by account.
So there are certain accounts that have been with us from day one and we can trust them to not do illegal things on their live streams.
So we're going to approve it for them first and let them test it.
Now, what's really cool about the solution that we were able to come up with on this You know how bandwidth has been the huge cost?
We're moving over a petabyte per month now of bandwidth.
That's over a thousand terabytes, by the way.
It's a lot of data.
The site's getting more and more popular.
We were really concerned that if we throw live streaming up there, I shouldn't say throw.
It's still a complicated thing.
But if we were to enable it, some people who have large audiences, like, let's say, Scott McKay or Pete Santilli or others, there are a lot of others who are going to stream on this platform.
If they start getting 50,000 people watching, let's say, or even just 10,000, that's a lot of bandwidth.
So we have a solution that is using peer-to-peer bandwidth sharing.
So in essence, the people watching the video are also sharing the bandwidth blocks with other peers who are watching the video.
Now, we didn't come up with this thing.
We are taking some open source components and customizing them.
And we're going to give credit to the open source code creators when we roll this out.
I'm not going to mention who they are now, but I will later because we always give credit to open source developers.
Not everybody does, by the way, but I'm a strong believer in the open source community.
So we want to give credit to open source people who built this engine.
We want to contribute to this engine, maybe financially or maybe with some code additions into their code base or some features, things like that.
And it enables us to have very little bandwidth costs For live streaming, since it's the peers that are covering the bandwidth.
Now, when we first launch this live streaming, the very first rendition will not have live chat capability on the side, which I know it's a very important feature.
And that's the next feature that's coming.
And it won't take long to put that in.
But I didn't want to delay the launch of live streaming to wait for the live chat to I thought, hey, you know, even if you don't have the live chat, you might want the live streaming anyway just to get started.
And then we can add the live chat as the very next thing.
So that's the plan.
So if you want to use this feature, just, well, number one, you need to have a Brighteon account.
And the longer you've had a Brighteon account and the more videos you've posted, the earlier we're going to invite you to be able to use the live streaming capabilities because we're trying to go with, you know, trusted channels that have a good history with us.
So, you know, create an account there.
It's free.
And start posting some good videos and get, you know, get some views going and things like that.
You'll have live streaming very soon.
We also do have the token system, which is a donation or tipping system, kind of like Super Chats on YouTube.
That's coming as well.
And ultimately, we will integrate that with the live chat of the live streaming.
So a lot of new features coming.
The reason we haven't had new features for quite some time, by the way, is because we had to rebuild the entire codebase over the last, I don't know, nine months, ten months, something, and we redeployed.
We moved the entire codebase away from a system where we had been hosting it onto a new system.
We changed the entire hosting environment.
Yeah, it was a big undertaking.
It really took a long, long time and a lot of money to do that.
But this has made us more censorship resistant, in effect, more bulletproof, you know, against upstream component providers who were, you know, deplatforming people.
We got our domain away from GoDaddy, for example, and things like that.
So...
That's all done and it's running smoothly, according to most people.
Maybe some small glitches here and there, but overall it's been very, very reliable and we haven't had database failures since we've moved off the old platform and onto the new platform.
So that's great.
We are actively spending money and putting developer teams every day.
We have full-time team members who are working on Brighteon, so from here forward, it's going to get better in terms of a faster rollout of features.
So thank you for supporting Brighteon, by the way.
And I know that you can't share Brighteon links on Twitter or Facebook, and the same thing is true with BitChute these days.
And they'll do that to Rumble eventually as well.
But, you know, this is about creating an alternative ecosystem of free speech.
Twitter is just going to censor anybody telling the truth.
And we don't control Twitter, obviously, so there's nothing that we can do about that.
What we can do is help promote the other platforms, such as Parler or Brighteon Social or whatever else is out there that is allowing free speech.
And I think...
I mean, Mike Lindell is apparently working on a similar platform.
There's a rumor that Trump may be working on such a platform.
There are going to be more alternatives available that support, you know, conservatives or Christians or just pro-Constitution speech.
So we will do our best to support those platforms and move away from big tech's Orwellian platforms.
Alright, now moving on to a couple of projects on the natural news side of things.
I have a new audiobook that I'm working on that you are going to love.
It's going to be released for free, like we've done with Survival Nutrition.
And if you haven't seen Survival Nutrition, just go to survivalnutrition.com and check that out.
We're actually moving all the audiobooks to an audio library hub on Natural News.
You'll be able to download soon three audiobooks in one place.
Now, this new audiobook is essentially about resiliency or how to adapt and overcome obstacles, no matter what they may be, in different areas.
So instead of just talking about how to engage in financial survival, let's say, or how to prep food, we're going to talk about the principles of resiliency and how to add that to your life, this layer of overcoming things.
Maybe you should call it a self-improvement book, I guess, but it's about how to invoke that inner power to overcome multiple vectors of attacks against your survival And sometimes even against your sanity.
So that book, I hope to have it out before I go to speak in Tulsa.
That's my goal anyway.
We'll see if that happens.
Now, if you want to be alerted to that book, just get on the naturalnews.com email newsletter, if you're not already, and we'll get you an announcement on that as soon as it's available.
Now, in terms of editorial research...
Because I'm so big into self-reliance and food production, I am looking very aggressively into more hydroponic solutions for growing your own food.
And I've spent some money.
I've purchased a kind of a high-end vertical grow tower hydroponic system.
And I'm going to be putting it through its paces using my laboratory analysis of the resulting plants based on the elemental inputs that I put into the hydroponic system in terms of the liquid food, you know, the fertilizer, calcium, magnesium, trace minerals, all of that.
And what I'm going to do, this is going to be a lot of fun.
This is the kind of stuff I love to do.
What I'm going to do is demonstrate and prove how easily you can grow your own high mineral supplements by using simple hydroponic systems.
Now, we know you can do it with sprouts, but not everybody just wants to eat sprouts all day, I've learned.
Even though I'm always talking about, here, have a sprout sandwich.
Have a sprout burrito.
You know, people are like, uh, maybe not.
You know, to each his own.
That's fine, but People need to grow lettuce, peppers.
I mean, hydroponically, you can even grow strawberries.
I mean, it's a little more tricky, but you can do it.
You can grow all kinds of medicinal herbs like oregano, basil, cilantro, lemon balm, you know, all that stuff.
You can grow that easily.
It's super easy to grow.
And also, you can grow a massive salad buffet on your wall, basically, with a vertical hydroponic tower system.
So what I want to do is show you how to use trace mineral supplements and grow your own living mineral supplements, which is medicine.
So, I mean, this is, I think, revolutionary information.
I don't think anybody has ever really used an ICP-MS lab instrument, a mass spec instrument, to just hydroponically grow nutritional supplements in living form.
I mean, I'm not aware of anybody that's done that, but it's right down my alley.
So I'm going to share that with you because, you know, that's what I'm all about here is empowerment.
So that's coming up.
That's going to be really fun.
Lots of excitement with that project, at least in my mind.
And then you might think this is nuts, but if I can really prove that that's super effective, With the lab instruments, I was thinking about building a large indoor hydroponic food production facility to grow mineral supplements in large vertical indoor tower systems to harvest that,
dry the herbs, And then have a verified mineral content.
If you want a certain amount of zinc, here you go.
It's in this food.
Or if you want a certain amount of manganese or selenium or whatever mineral that you're looking for, have living mineral supplements in food form that are scientifically validated and grown using hydroponics.
Now, I know there are so-called food-based supplements, but most of those are using yeast.
And not everybody wants to eat yeast, you know, for a variety of reasons.
So what if you could just get minerals in, let's say, dried lettuce flakes or something that you could add to your salad dressing and just shake it up.
And, you know, now you've got salad dressing that's high zinc.
And you know this is a way to get your zinc.
You know, things like that.
So that's a project in my mind.
It would take a lot of time.
It's not going to happen like next month.
It's going to take maybe a year to do something like that.
But I would like to be growing nutritionally rich medicinal food solutions backed by just straight up lab science for elemental analysis.
And of course, that would all be grown without any pesticides or herbicides or crap chemicals or anything like that.
Those are some of the projects coming up.
And if you want to stay tuned, just keep reading naturalnews.com.
