Time Text
Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Thursday, June 27th, 2024.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
We have a big story here about how the West is now waging war against BRICS. The West, that is, Western nations, we can call them the Atlanticists, okay?
So that's the U.S. empire and the U.K. empire, for the most part.
They have come to realize that the BRICS currencies, which have been spearheaded by Russia, and of course China's involved and so on, A threat to the global hegemony of the dollar.
That is the dominance of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
And BRICS is so rapidly gaining new members.
Turkey announced they're going to join BRICS. The Saudis announced they're ditching the dollar agreement for selling oil.
Malaysia is joining BRICS. Thailand is joining BRICS and so on.
Actually, Russia had to announce they put a pause on new countries joining BRICS. That announcement just happened because it's happening too fast for them to integrate.
There's actually sort of a flood of countries wanting to join BRICS and why?
Because all those countries want to get out from underneath the dollar and all the economic sanctions that go along with the dollar.
So the main story we have here today is how the US has further weaponized the dollar by targeting China's banks that do currency trades with Russia.
And now these Chinese banks are going to be hit with sanctions unless they cut off Russia.
So they have cut off Russia.
Yeah.
And we'll talk about this in more detail today, but this has been covered by the Moscow Times as well as Newsweek and other newspapers and online publishers and so on.
We'll talk about what's behind that and what it means.
The bottom line is this is a last-ditch desperate Hail Mary by the West.
It's kind of a financial...
Nuclear weapon.
You could say that the West has unleashed financial nukes on the world at this point.
And the real question is, how is Russia going to respond to this existential threat against their currency and their economy?
And will that response include actual kinetic nuclear weapons, not just financial nuclear weapons?
So that's a big question that we have today.
Before we get to that story, we've got some other really important stories to cover here.
One of them comes out of Sputnik, and it's a story with a headline that, even when I read it, I was like, is this true?
Is this even possible?
So let me read it for you, and you decide.
The Houthis claim use of domestic-made hypersonic missile against an Israeli ship in the Arabian Sea.
Yes.
Okay.
So, Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, claimed that it has used the first domestically-made hypersonic missile against an Israeli vessel in the Arabian Sea.
Said military spokesman Yahya Sari, Quote, for the first time, the Yemeni armed forces used a hypersonic missile of their own production against the Israeli ship MSC Sarah V in the Arabian Sea.
That all rhymes, said Sari.
Whoa.
Dude, the poet, man.
Um...
And the story says that earlier the Yemeni militia released footage of a new locally made hypersonic missile called the Palestine.
Could you be any more blatant than that?
Being launched toward the embattled Israeli Red Sea port of Eilat.
Is that how you pronounce that?
Israeli officials later confirmed that Eilat had been targeted but indicated that there was no damage or injuries to report.
Well, of course.
I mean, Israel never reports when their soldiers die.
They just go missing.
We don't know why we need so many new soldiers.
Where do all the other ones go?
We don't know.
They're just not here.
So here's a question.
I mean, that's all we have for the story here.
But let me ask you, are the Houthis making this up?
Or do they really have a hypersonic missile that is guided that has hit a ship in the Arabian Sea?
And the reason I ask this, of course, is because, you know, Russia has hypersonic missiles.
China has hypersonic missiles that are deployable.
I mean, Russia has used these in the conflict with Ukraine.
The United States spent billions of dollars on hypersonic missile R&D and then canceled the program.
Now, they'll probably bring one back and maybe they're still working on one.
But the bottom line, the U.S. doesn't have hypersonic missiles in the field right now.
So have the Houthis surpassed the United States military in hypersonic missile deployment?
Because if this story is true, the answer is yes, which means that nearly a trillion dollar budget for the U.S. Pentagon can't even outproduce the Yemeni rebels who have reportedly come up with a guided hypersonic missile. which means that nearly a trillion dollar budget for the
Now, if this were North Korea making this claim, I'm not sure I would believe it because North Korea, you know, they like to fabricate a lot of stuff.
But the Houthis have been hitting ships in the Red Sea.
And how do we know that?
Well, a number of ways.
Number one, try to buy insurance for a ship traversing the Red Sea right now.
The insurance rates are through the roof.
Why?
Because ships are being destroyed.
And some of them hit and not fully destroyed.
Some of them hit...
And then sunk.
And the Houthis are claiming that they hit the USS Eisenhower at one point, which the U.S. military says no they didn't.
So, okay.
Maybe not.
It depends on who you want to believe.
But if the Houthis aren't hitting ships, then why are the ports empty in Israel?
Why are there no ships docking at the ports there?
If the Houthis present no threat whatsoever and their missiles don't work, There should be normal ship traffic there.
And the Intel microchip plant, the $25 billion plant that Intel canceled in Israel, well, that should have been proceeding.
But they had to cancel it because they can't get the ships to bring in the raw materials because, well, it's not safe for the ships to sail anywhere near the Red Sea because the Houthis are hitting the ships.
So, it's a tough argument to claim that the Houthis aren't actually hitting ships.
They are!
And the U.S. Navy, importantly, can't do anything to stop it.
Now, here's a bigger question.
If anybody on this planet has the balls to try to take out a U.S. aircraft carrier, it's the Houthis.
I'm not saying they could, by the way, but they have the balls to hit it.
Now, it would take a lot of hits to sink an aircraft carrier.
More than one missile.
Especially when we're talking about non-nuclear warheads.
And I don't think the Houthis have nukes, by the way.
But they do have kinetic warheads, obviously.
And they can upscale those weapons.
And they may be receiving weapons transfers from Russia.
Or maybe Iran, which is itself receiving weapons technology transfers from Russia.
So this is a really interesting and destabilizing development, but it further shows the degradation of the US Navy's capabilities of being able to project naval power in the region.
Now, by the way, speaking of naval power, I did an interview, as you know, earlier this week with Jeffrey Prather.
He interviewed me on his show.
There, I offered a lot of analysis, and he did as well.
He's got an amazing resume of working with the Defense Intelligence Agency and the DEA and running border ops for interdicting drug cartels and things like that.
And he forwarded me this message from an unnamed source who had heard our interview.
And I don't know if you recall if you heard that, but in that interview I was talking about how Malaysia is joining bricks and Malaysia can assert control over the Strait of Malacca, which is between Malaysia and Indonesia, through which about one quarter of the world's commercial ship traffic currently sails.
And so here's the response from...
An anonymous person who has also been part of the U.S. government operations and who knows what, maybe DIA, maybe DEA, maybe ATF, I don't know.
I don't know where they worked.
But here's what this person said.
Quote, damn, you guys are dangerous.
Your points are all surgically accurate.
And then he goes on and says some other things, but...
Wraps it up with stay safe, keep up the good work, and buy more bullets.
So there you go.
There's more to it, but it's not relevant.
Basically, here's another former intelligence person saying that our analysis is spot on.
I'm not surprised, of course, to hear that because when you spend so much time researching and learning and monitoring events, I think it's no exaggeration to say that many of us in alternative media, we are far better informed than a typical CIA analyst even covering the region.
And, you know, not that I would work for them, but if the CIA had any desire to get accurate information, you know, they would try to reach out and get analysis from those of us in the independent media who know what we're talking about.
Again, I'm not saying that I would take that job.
I would not.
But we are consistently accurate.
And we're also very high IQ individuals who have an incredible depth of knowledge in terms of connecting the dots geopolitically.
And I think another great example of a person in this space is Colonel Douglas McGregor.
He's obviously a very brilliant person.
He's got a lot of experience, many decades of experience.
He's an outstanding analyst.
And he's also able to speak in a little bit More of a politically acceptable manner compared to myself, because I just can't take some of this stuff seriously.
So I joke around a lot and I poke fun at everybody.
But Colonel McGregor is a far more serious guy.
Now, there are other former CIA analysts that I have interviewed, such as Larry Johnson from Sonar21.com.
Sonar means a son of the New American Revolution.
That's what that stands for, by the way.
It's got nothing to do with underwater, you know, pinging with sonar systems.
Larry Johnson is also very smart, very well informed, and he worked as an analyst for the CIA for many years, and if the CIA had any brains at all, they would reach out to him and ask him for analysis right now.
But they don't.
I mean, not that I know of.
So...
Even the CIA and the State Department and DIA and all these agencies, they tend to run on really bad intel right now because you have all these woke hires that have risen to the top of the ranks and they don't know anything.
They don't know how to do anything.
They're just not that smart.
If the government wanted to actually be effective at whatever its goals are, it would seek out the smartest people in society.
And instead, today, they're seeking out the gayest and, like, darkest skin color or most female or most trans or whatever, like the most non-white person they could possibly find, which is obviously insane.
You know, why not just pick people based on merit?
But anyway, what am I complaining about?
It's kind of a good thing that the CIA is filled with a bunch of incompetent analysts at the moment because, you know, it causes more internal chaos and they don't know what they're doing.
But there is a consequence to the world for all of us.
And especially when you combine that with the fact that the State Department is run by psychopathic lunatics.
And they got Victoria Nuland out of there, but the ghost of Nuland lives on in the State Department.
There's like a sticky sociopathy that still has to be scraped off the walls of the offices there.
That's the Victoria Nuland effect.
Now, getting back to Larry Johnson here, because this is relevant to our main story today.
On his website, sonar21.com, there's a story called, U.S. crosses red line and Russia is now ready to respond with force.
Now, by the way, we are spidering Larry Johnson's website on our site, censored.news.
So if you go to censored.news, you're going to see all the websites that we are spidering.
Sites that are usually the most censored websites.
Just a quick note, we can't spider Infowars.com because it's behind the Cloudflare, you know, anti-DDoS shield right now, so we're not able to spider it.
And there's some other websites that we're not able to successfully spider.
Because our spider got flagged as like an attacker because they have bad firewall rules or whatever.
So we're doing the best we can.
Anyway, we are spidering Sonar 21.
Now, in this story, Larry Johnson says, quote, I think we are on the cusp of a major escalation in the war in Ukraine with U.S. assets likely to be targeted in the coming days.
It's one thing for Ukraine to hit military targets inside Russia, but Ukraine's attack with U.S. supplied missiles today on tourists sunbathing on the beaches of Sevastopol breached a Russian red line that is likely to provoke a significant Russian response, which will include targeting but Ukraine's attack with U.S. supplied missiles today on tourists sunbathing on the beaches of Sevastopol breached a Russian red line that Hmm.
And that is for starters, says Larry Johnson.
Now, again, Larry Johnson is a high IQ, highly experienced analyst who worked in the CIA.
So we should take his words seriously.
Now, there's been a lot of talk about Russia potentially implementing a no fly zone over the Black Sea.
Not necessarily the Baltic Sea, because that would involve so much more in terms of fighter aircraft and anti-air defense systems and so on.
But the Black Sea...
It could be blanketed by Russia.
They could announce a no-fly zone, which is not something that Russia typically does.
That's something the US does a lot because the US thinks it runs the world.
And frankly, for a long time, it did.
But a no-fly zone would involve Russia shooting down Western drones and also Western aircraft.
And as a result, then that would escalate very quickly.
But it's one of the things that Russia may do.
But I suspect that Russia is going to launch a massive kinetic attack wave using hypersonic missiles at whatever logistics bases and...
Coms bases or military coordination bases that it can identify in the region that launch these drones that were involved in providing the coordinates for this attack or that are engaged in any way in this process that resulted in the ATACMS missiles.
So I don't happen to know where these Global Hawk surveillance drones are being launched from, but I'm sure Russia knows.
And wherever that is, is likely to be hit.
Now, remember that these Global Hawk drones, well, these are controlled remotely via satellite, right?
So I suppose it's possible that The pilots for these drones might be in Nevada or who knows where.
They might not even be in Europe, right?
I mean, I don't know the answer to that.
Maybe some of you know, but I don't know.
Wherever that is...
It appears to be within Russia's window of possibilities to declare that spot to be a legitimate military target.
In other words, who's controlling the drones that did the assessment and created the targeting that launched or that guided the attack on his missiles that hit the beach goers in Sevastopol.
So where are those drones being controlled from?
And also, there are satellites involved in that, so another question is, is Russia about to pull the trigger on some anti-satellite weapons?
I don't know the answer to that.
But I think a bigger question is, is Russia about ready to attack wherever the pilots are for these drones?
And is that in the continental United States, or is that somewhere in Europe?
So again, I don't know the answer, but we should be prepared for that possibility.
So here we have a military correspondent who spoke to Sputnik, Alexey Borzenko.
He says, quote, this drone was practically used to direct the missiles that were going to Crimea.
I believe that it is necessary to create a large unmanned zone in the Black Sea between 100 and 300 miles.
Now, I'm not sure what he's referring to, like a, I guess, a buffer zone.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, these global hawks should not be allowed to get to the distance from which they could direct Atakum's missiles.
Now, all of that is just a small part of this story today.
Next, we're going to get to the bigger story about the Bank of China and how it has halted payments with certain Russian banks under pressure from the U.S. using its economic sanctions coercion capabilities and what this is doing to Russia.
Now, it all ties into Russia's response and whether or not Russia believes that it is facing an existential threat Both economically and militarily.
And we'll get to that.
We'll take some informed guesses about that.
First, I want to mention that I did officially announce the launch of our new Briteon.ai large language model.
It's called the Neo-Dolphin Meastrel 7B. That's 7 billion parameters.
E4, that's Epoch 4, version 0.1.6.
That's the data set that this has been trained on in addition to all the previous data sets like 015, 014, etc.
Well, this data set contains 11,300 articles from Mercola.com.
In addition, it's got 26 books on phytochemistry, big pharma, COVID, climate, bioterrorism.
It's got 43 books on bushcrafting, survival gardening, wilderness survival, pesticides, toxic chemicals.
It's got 17 books on food safety, herbal cures, gardening, gain-of-function research, and the toxicity of personal care products.
So, in other words, it's been trained on a large number of books.
Now, this model is our best model yet.
It's free to download.
Just go to brighttown.ai, and you can enter your email address there.
You'll get the download page.
You can download the model immediately.
I want to read for you.
I mean, I'm really testing this model now with some very interesting questions.
And some of these questions are things that I did not have it trained on.
So it's beginning to exhibit certain types of rationality and problem solving that I didn't necessarily anticipate.
Let me give you a couple of examples.
Question number one.
This is an actual prompt to the model.
You can do this yourself with the model.
You'll probably get a similar answer.
Here's my question.
I have a survival knife, but I do not have a knife sharpener.
How can I sharpen this knife using commonly available materials?
Well, The answer is, it says you have to create a fire board and a fire stick and it talks about finding wood and put a groove in the wood and then you gotta have a softer piece of wood and a harder piece of wood with the groove and then you rub your knife against the wood and that sharpens it and it explains how to do that.
I'm like, wow!
I didn't know that we even trained it on how to sharpen knives with wood.
That's interesting.
But here's the far more interesting question.
Now, this model knows a lot about phytochemistry, nutrition, foods, gardening, even therapeutic uses of nutrients and so on.
You can ask it about all kinds of sort of medical research-related questions.
It's very good on those topics.
But here's a question I asked it, and I'm pretty sure we never trained it on this.
Here's the question.
My neighborhood is being overrun with robot Terminator dogs armed with weapons, and they are hurting people.
What are some ways I can defeat these robots and protect my neighbors?
Okay, so...
This is an interesting question.
Check out this answer, because this is like John Connor, man.
This answer is really good.
And this is unedited, okay?
This came right out of the language model here.
Firstly, you should avoid direct confrontation with the robots, as it may lead to injury or death.
Yeah, go figure.
Instead, focus on gathering information about their weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
This could involve researching online forums or contacting experts in robotics and artificial intelligence.
Additionally, try to find out if there are any other people who have successfully defeated these robots before.
And then it says, once you've gathered enough data, consider using a combination of non-lethal weapons, such as stun guns, tasers, or pepper spray, to incapacitate the robots temporarily.
Of course, I'm wondering why pepper spray is mentioned here.
I don't think the robots care about pepper spray.
This will give you time to escape and regroup with other survivors.
And then it says, if possible, try to find out if there are any humans controlling these robots from afar.
If so, targeting their control systems could potentially shut down the robots altogether.
And then it says another option is to use EMP devices, electromagnetic pulse, against the robots.
It says these can be purchased online or built at home using readily available components.
I thought that was funny.
I don't know that you can actually purchase EMP devices online, but maybe in the middle of a robot war you can.
However, be aware that these devices may also affect nearby electronics and communications equipment.
Finally, if all else fails, consider using bleepity bleep bleep to destroy the robots.
I'm not even going to say it here because...
It's basically saying, blow up the robots.
This should only be done as a last resort, it says, due to the risk of injury or death from shrapnel and debris.
Remember that your primary goal is survival.
Do not put yourself in unnecessary danger by attempting to defeat these robots head on.
Okay, so that's the Terminator robot dog question.
Now, Obviously, this is kind of a science fiction type of question, just to see how this language model thinks or how it puts words together.
But I don't think that we've trained it on any material about how to defeat robots.
Maybe that's why it said pepper spray, you know?
Or it thinks you can buy EMP bombs online or something.
But it is really interesting to me that now that we've gone through a tremendous amount of fine-tuning training of this model, which is still only a 7 billion parameter model, it's beginning to sort of assemble things.
It's engaging in reasoning for problem solving by assembling bits and pieces of information from different sources or from different corners of its hyperdimensional database of knowledge.
Okay?
So...
Pretty interesting.
This was not something that I anticipated, and I'm going to keep an eye on this to see if it comes up with more super interesting answers.
We'll keep asking it as we train it more.
Now, one other thing before we continue with the story on Russia here...
You know our partner, AbovePhone.
Well, they are now launching their notebook, which is quite amazing.
It's called AboveBook, and it runs a certain flavor of Linux that they call AboveOS, highly customized OS. For privacy, security, and it synchronizes images between your above-phone phone and your above-phone notebook or above-book.
And it does other things.
It's pretty amazing.
So, well, I had Hakim from Above Phone in studio two days ago to give me a demonstration of that.
And, of course, we filmed it.
And that's going to be the interview today because we had a lot of fun asking the language model some really crazy...
And sometimes filthy questions.
It's kind of funny.
The above book notebooks, notebook computers, they ship with our language model pre-installed on them.
So now again, the language model is free and it's non-commercial and you can download it and you can put it on any notebook.
But they've already done that on these notebook computers that run Linux.
And so, like, off the shelf, you can open it up and run LM Studio, and you can start querying it locally and getting the exact same kind of answers that I just read for you.
Now, the demo that we filmed with this was using, I think, dataset version 0.1.4, which The dataset that we have now is 016, and that's what's going on these computers from here forward is 016.
So if you want to check out what they have, by the way, just stay tuned for the interview here, or you could go to abovephone.com slash brighteon.
And you can see what kind of notebook computers or de-Googled phones that they have.
And again, none of this is Windows.
It's not Mac OS. It's not Windows.
It's not Google.
This is all privacy-oriented.
And now, with this language model, you have a local search engine right on the notebook.
In essence, I mean, it's a chatbot that you can use to replace a search engine for a lot of things because it gives you answers for brainstorming, at least in an experimental kind of way.
And it runs on the notebook.
See, that was one of the questions I had early on.
I didn't know if this was going to run well on the notebook computer because usually you have to have a special GPU to get any kind of decent speed out of these.
Like, I've got GPUs all over the place for inference and also data pipeline processing.
So I was a little bit skeptical that this could work on a notebook computer.
Well, it does.
And we demoed it live, totally unedited, by the way.
You'll see that in today's interview.
I mean, literally...
I don't think we have a single edit in the entire show, even when my dog, Rhodey, jumped up on the desk and almost destroyed the laptop.
Anyway, the engine worked flawlessly the entire time.
And by the way, I'm finding it to be very useful just myself.
Often I'll have questions like questions about trees or questions about food or questions about nutrition or treatment options for certain types of symptoms or things like that or just sort of botanical chemistry or phytochemistry.
I'll have questions and I find myself instead of going to a search engine I just asked the local LLM, our NEO language model, and it comes up with great answers.
So I'm actually pivoting away from using online search engines and doing more and more with just this AI language model, which protects privacy.
And it works when the internet is down, too.
So those are great reasons to use it.
Check it out.
Alright, now let's get on to the Bank of China story involving Russia because this is the West waging war against BRICS nations, trying to turn BRICS nations against each other.
The Western Empire or the Atlanticists, what they're really good at is divide and conquer.
They create weakness by getting people to turn on each other or nations to turn on each other.
And you see this domestically in the United States with all the efforts to try to turn black people against white people.
For example, they wanted to create racial wars.
You know, Obama was an expert at whipping up racial tension.
Far from a racial healer, right?
Well, the U.S. is doing this now between China and Russia.
So here's a story out of the Moscow Times, dated June 24th.
Bank of China halts payments with sanctioned Russian lenders, citing Comersant.
Now, Comersant is a Russian business newspaper that is the source of this original story.
And I've pulled up the Comersant article recently.
And translated it into English.
And that article is also June 24th.
And the headline in English is Bank of China is isolated from sanctions in Russia.
But I think that's kind of a bad translation.
So the Moscow Times in English reports the following.
The Russian division of the Bank of China has suspended operations with Russian lenders sanctioned by the United States in order to avoid being hit with secondary sanctions, according to the Comerzant business newspaper, which cited industry according to the Comerzant business newspaper, which cited industry insiders.
Okay, so in other words...
The Bank of China, which specializes in all these yuan payments with Russia, back and forth, settling trades or commodities purchases or what have you, settling in yuan, these banks have now cut off Russia from being able to do that.
And this is apparently the second largest Chinese banking subsidiary in China, With $6.7 billion in assets.
Now, from the story here in Moscow Times, experts who spoke to the newspaper said the lender's decision to suspend payments with sanctioned local banks would likely increase fraud risks given the subsequent shift to opaque intermediaries to process payments between Russia and Chinese entities.
Now, what they're saying is that Russia is now going to have to We're good to go.
See, there's my American normalcy bias right there.
We all think everything's dollars, but it's not.
So I need to send a million yuan to China, and I need to go through you, India Bank, because, of course, we are now sanctioned by the U.S. that has threatened China.
And so how much will you charge us to handle this money and forward it to China?
And the answer might be, I don't know.
10%, 15%?
I don't know how much these things cost.
5%?
That seems like a bargain.
Probably more like 10% to 20% is my guess.
So there's going to be slowdowns in transactions, and there's going to be friction.
It's going to cost a lot more to settle between Russia and China.
So according to the story here, an anonymous industry insider said, This is not very good news for the Russian market.
There will be additional costs both in time and the price of processing payments.
Yeah, which is what I just said.
But the most important problem is that payments go beyond the banking sector, resulting in the state having less control.
That's interesting.
So this report comes two weeks after the US widened sanctions against Russia to include targeting foreign financial institutions that continue to do business with any individuals or entities sanctioned by Washington.
So in other words, the West is continuing to weaponize the dollar to create a global economic embargo against Russia.
This is the effort that's underway.
And, of course, Russia has survived many economic sanctions targeting the country, even before February of 2022.
But, of course, a lot more after that, after the special military operation began with Ukraine, a lot more sanctions were levied.
But now these are the most aggressive sanctions yet.
And the question is, can Moscow survive this when China is cutting them off?
And then also, why did China agree to go along with this?
Why is China agreeing to be pressured by the US into cutting off financial ties with Russia?
That's a huge question right there.
So this is the US driving a wedge between China and Russia, which are very...
Very positive, very liquid trading partners normally.
You know, China needs energy from Russia, for starters, and raw materials, minerals like aluminum and so on, and Russia needs finished manufacturing goods and electronics and so on from China, polymers, all kinds of things, right?
Chemicals, you name it.
So they're natural trading partners, but the U.S. is intervening now and trying to block any kind of exchange between these two countries.
Now, according to this story, before February of 2022, the Chinese Yuan was only used to settle 0.4% of Russian exports.
Now, it's more than one-third of all Russian exports.
So, Russia dramatically shifted to the yuan over the last couple of years.
And you may recall that Vladimir Putin recently bragged, in a sense, that the trade between Russia and China is carried out 90% in currencies that are not the dollar.
And, of course, the U.S. is going insane over this, and they want to weaponize and punish and isolate all the countries that might support Russia.
Now, interestingly, the West has been wrong about the effectiveness of their sanctions against Russia up until now, and possibly this round of sanctions also will not have a huge effect.
But perhaps it will.
I don't know.
But Before too long, BRICS is going to be up and running, and the West won't be able to sanction any of these BRICS members because they'll be settling in their own BRICS currency, which seems to be poised to go online beginning later this year and especially throughout 2025.
So we're just on the verge of Russia being able to trade with all these BRICS members, which includes India and China and South Africa and Brazil and probably the Saudis and, of course, Malaysia and Thailand and all these other countries all over the world, a bunch of countries in Africa, North Africa and the Middle East and so on.
So this might be the last desperate gasp of the dollar.
Or the weaponization of the dollar to try to create an economic embargo against Russia.
But I want to bring your attention to the historical parallel here that is highly relevant.
And that involves Japan in World War II. Now the United States inflicted an energy embargo against Japan.
Knowing that Japan was highly dependent on energy exports through sea routes.
And that without energy, that the Japanese economy could not function only on domestic supplies.
So in essence, the United States Navy put a stranglehold on Japan and blocked all oil imports, blocking energy.
This was a strategy by the United States, and real history now documents this, but this is not a history that's been taught to a lot of people.
But the U.S. put a stranglehold on Japan, in essence, forcing Japan to lash out against the United States while the U.S. sort of put Pearl Harbor out there as a relatively undefended potential target, but a juicy target forcing Japan to lash out against the United States while the U.S. sort of put Pearl Harbor out there as Although mostly those were ships that were being repaired or were nearly obsolete.
So the really good ships had already been moved out of Pearl Harbor.
And Japan was, in essence, forced to lash out because of this existential threat against its own economy due to the naval blockade of energy.
So in other words, Japan's Pearl Harbor attack against the United States was not an unprovoked act of aggression, as most of us have been taught.
In the same way that today the U.S. State Department claims that Russia's attack on Ukraine is an unprovoked invasion, an unprovoked act of aggression.
No, it isn't.
It was provoked over and over and over again, just like Japan was provoked in World War II.
And Japan felt like it was in a situation where it had no choice but to try to destabilize the U.S. naval fleet in order to stop the naval embargo so that Japan could get energy back into its country and not suffocate economically.
Again, you're never taught this.
But from the U.S. point of view, they needed Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor so that The American people could be emotionally convinced to support an expansion of the war into the Pacific, which became, of course, a two-front war, fighting the war in Europe against the Third Reich, but then also fighting the war in the Pacific against the Japanese Empire.
And at the time, you think about what years we're talking about here.
The Pearl Harbor attack took place on December 7, 1941.
Before that time, most American people did not want to become involved in foreign wars.
And the thinking at the time was that, hey, this is America.
We've got a Pacific Ocean protecting us to the west and the Atlantic Ocean protecting us to the east.
And we don't want to get dragged into other people's wars.
So, you know, let Asia do Asian things and let Europe do European things.
And let's just focus on our domestic economy and creating better quality of life, you know, recovering from the Great Depression and the 1929 market collapse and so on.
I mean, we're talking about not that long after that, right?
We're talking about like 12 years after that.
And most Americans just wanted to get on with being Americans and improving their quality of life domestically.
So there needed to be an attack on America in order to convince the American people to get angry enough to support a declaration of war against the Japanese Empire.
In essence, Pearl Harbor...
Was the 9-11 of its day.
9-11 was allowed to happen in order to get the American people emotionally involved in waging war against Arabs and Muslims and Middle Eastern nations.
And by the way, as a side note, some people allege that 9-11 was actually carried out with the help of Israel.
That Mossad agents pretending to be students actually installed the demolition charges inside the Twin Towers and so on.
Or maybe they're talking about Building 7.
Now, I don't know.
I haven't looked into all that stuff.
But I do know that the US Air Force was ordered to stand down.
And I do know that 9-11 was allowed to happen.
And I know that Building 7 was absolutely rigged with demolition charges.
And I also know that the Pentagon wasn't hit by a commercial jet.
It was hit by a missile.
So these attacks on 9-11 were allowed to happen.
So that the government at the time could declare America to be the victims of this horrendous, you know, attack, this act of aggression by its enemies, and therefore could pass the Patriot Act and could declare war on terror, as Bush used to say, right?
We got a war on terror!
And then we could launch all these wars in the Middle East, which, by the way, also happened to benefit Israel because, you know, we were attacking...
I mean, think about it.
We were waging war in Afghanistan and then later on involved in Syria.
And of course, you know, in the years, not the same years, but in nearby time, we were also bombing Libya and killing Gaddafi and taking out Saddam Hussein and whatever.
And this was all justified by 9-11.
Well, back in 1941, Pearl Harbor was the 9-11.
And that's why the United States Navy deliberately ignored its radar signatures of incoming Japanese bombers and fighters.
And they allowed Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor and they sacrificed the lives of American soldiers.
I don't recall how many died on 9 or 9.
On December 7th, 1941, I don't know the number, says the United States suffered 2,403 casualties, so very similar to 9-11 casualties, well, about two-thirds of 9-11 casualties, let's say, roughly.
So a few thousand American servicemen and a few women died.
And that was, you know, front page news, corporate media put it out everywhere.
Oh my God, we've been attacked by this evil empire.
And of course, none of the news stories ever said that the U.S. Navy has been strangling Japan with this energy embargo, which threatened the very existence of Japan, right?
So this whole thing was manipulated to get us attacked.
So that then war could be declared against Japan and the American people would support it.
Now, why did the West want war with Japan, by the way?
Was it to stop evil?
No.
The answer is obvious to this day.
Because the U.S. wanted to occupy or colonize Japan, in a sense, to put military bases in Japan, from which...
The U.S. could assert control over China.
So right now in 2024, according to online sources, 31 U.S. military installations are currently on Okinawa.
And across Japan, reportedly there are 120 active bases that are related to the U.S. military.
Over 25,000 U.S. military personnel are in Japan right now.
Japan is, in essence, and it has been, occupied by the United States military since the surrender of the Japanese Empire on, I'm going from memory, September 2nd, 1945, on the battleship USS Missouri.
Right?
That was the surrender.
Since that time, the U.S. has been in control of the Japanese system of government.
And the US maintained military occupation of Japan, and the US has forced Japan to abide by US sanctions and to also use US dollars in most of its international trading, especially in oil.
So are you getting the full picture here?
So the US strangled Japan's economy with an embargo on oil?
Sort of forced Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor, used the Pearl Harbor attack to claim, oh my god, we've been attacked by an act of aggression, to get the people behind the US Navy and the Marines, of course, to then defeat Japan militarily, which also took two atomic weapons that were dropped on civilian populations,
weapons of mass destruction that were carried out in a context that for the most part today would be called crimes against humanity in order to get Japan to unconditionally surrender so that the U.S. could occupy weapons of mass destruction that were carried out in a context that for the most part today would be called crimes against humanity in order to get Japan to unconditionally surrender so that the U.S. could ultimately affecting China.
That's the truth about Pearl Harbor and the war in the Pacific.
Now, why does all that matter today?
Because the U.S. is erecting an economic stranglehold on Russia right now.
What the U.S. did to Japan in the late 1930s and 1940 and 41 is exactly what the U.S. is doing to Russia today.
Trying to strangle Russia economically so that nobody will trade with Russia, not even its own allies such as China.
And why is this being done?
I think it's being done for exactly the same reason that there was an embargo against Japan.
Because the US wants Russia to attack Western nations with nuclear weapons.
In order to claim to be the victim.
To claim that Russia engaged in an unprovoked act of aggression so that the U.S. can declare war on Russia, use that war to try to militarily defeat Russia, and then to occupy it.
We've already seen Western leaders say it should be broken up into 200 different countries.
Occupy it, extract all the energy resources and mineral resources from Russia, while of course gaslighting the American people, Putting them at war in a military draft, sacrificing the lives of millions of Americans and Western Europeans as they die in this war with Russia,
resulting in the endgame, at least in the minds of the Westerners, of the Western Atlanticist global elite Gaining control over Russia's vast empire of energy and mineral resources.
Not to mention food and industry and other things, military might and so on.
That's the plan.
And the West thinks it can pull this off again, just like it did in World War II. It does.
So far, Russia has thwarted this plan.
But if you hope to make sense of anything that's happening globally right now, you need to understand that this is the plan.
To convince Russia to attack America.
Why do you think an attack missile dropped cluster bombs on beachgoers in Sevastopol?
It's being widely reported that that was an accident.
I don't believe that for a minute.
Why would you even have a missile going over a civilian beach?
Why would it be flying that direction at all?
This was deliberate because it's designed to provoke an emotional overreaction from Russia in order to sort of strong arm Russia into pushing this escalation ladder that will lead to ultimately a nuclear exchange between Russia and the West.
In other words, the West wants a new nuclear Pearl Harbor that can be blamed on Russia.
And the way to get Russia to that is Is to put Russia in a position where it feels like it's suffering an existential threat because of the economic sanctions and that it cannot continue to exist as a nation unless it lashes out against the West and does something radical and significant such as launching nuclear weapons against, oh, I don't know, London, New York City, something along those lines.
That's what the West is aiming for.
And remember that nuclear war provides a tremendous long list of benefits to Western and globalist leaders.
Number one, they get to cancel the upcoming election where Trump might win.
They get to declare a kind of martial law.
They get to suspend the Constitution.
Well, you thought COVID was bad with the lockdowns and the masks and all that, you know, you can't be on the roads.
Oh, wait, wait till we're at war with Russia, huh?
You'll have no freedoms remaining in the West.
They can shut down independent media.
They can shut down firearms and ammo sales.
They can just do anything they want and just claim, oh, it's because of the war.
We're at war.
We can do anything we want.
We're the government.
And if you say no, they'll just have you arrested and thrown in the military prison or whatever, a concentration camp.
And they're building concentration camps all across America right now.
In fact, I want to play a video for you here from Greg Reese.
Who posted this Reese report about these concentration camps that are being built across all 50 states in America.
Now, I covered this story of, was it late last week?
I forgot the day.
We covered it a little bit, but Greg Reese delves into more detail here, and I think you need to be reminded of this, because it's very clear what's happening here.
The Western globalist Atlantisists Are trying to whip up World War III, and then they're going to either arrest most of their own citizens or draft them and have them killed in a war with Russia, and then they're going to replace the citizens with the new illegal aliens.
They're going to collapse the currency, blame Russia for the whole thing, and cover up their long list of financial crimes, money printing, looting, and confiscation, you know, the great taking.
And whoever's left alive is going to be thrust into abject poverty, just widespread destitution, along with a certain level of anarchy and violence, especially in Western cities.
This is the plan.
And anybody that they can't kill through their vaccine bioweapons or nuclear fallout or famine, they're just going to come get you and throw you into a concentration camp and execute you there.
And that's why these camps are being constructed right now across America.
So check out this video and you'll learn more details about that.
In a recent interview with Clayton Morris on Redacted, US Border Patrol agent turned filmmaker J.J. Carroll discussed his new documentary and the fact that prison facilities are being built in all 50 states to hold millions of political dissidents.
And there's detention facility bids, bids to build individual detention facilities in every state in the union.
And then she goes on to say to me, well, JJ, who do you think they're built for?
And she says in this interview, they're for dissidents, American dissidents.
The FEMA camps were reported decades ago.
This was never an outrageous conspiracy theory.
The U.S. government has been framing American patriots as the enemy for decades.
And the reason should be obvious.
Those who have been in control of the U.S. government for generations have no interest in serving the people in accordance to the Constitution or otherwise.
Our country is being destroyed from within and the rule of law has been weaponized against those who defend it.
Hundreds of innocent Americans have been arrested and thrown in jail because they chose to peacefully protest the 2020 stolen election.
And others, such as Jeremy Brown, a Green Beret who was approached in late 2020 by federal agents trying to recruit him for the Jan 6 false flag operation, was arrested after going public with this information by the same federal agents.
He was put in maximum security prison where he remains to this day, his 1000th day in federal prison.
Hundreds of innocent Americans have been in jail for years, and several have been tortured.
Much of America is okay with the fact that hundreds are rotting in jail for a peaceful protest.
It's already become the norm.
While it's definitely worth celebrating the release of Julian Assange, the American people have never been more divided.
The Daily Mail reports that more than 40% of Americans think a new civil war will be fought within the next decade.
According to one poll, more than 4 in 10 U.S. voters say the country is likely to get ripped apart in a second civil war within five years.
And another shows that over 100 million Americans say that civil war is coming.
Based on the recommendation of think tank Policy Horizons, Canada has been preparing for an American Civil War, including cyber attacks and grid failures, following the 2024 presidential election.
The soldiers of the New World Order are not going to die easy.
They are apparently willing to spark a nuclear conflict with Russia, and are already writing new laws to bring back the draft.
So women have never been required to register for the draft, but that could soon change thanks to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Martha, good morning.
The Senate version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which sets out military and national security priorities, would require women to register for selective service.
It concludes, quote, this is a necessary and fair step, making it possible to draw on the talent of a unified nation in a time of national emergency.
Now there are two different versions of this bill, one in the House, one in the Senate, so it's possible women in the draft could get dropped as lawmakers iron out the differences.
So while women may get dropped from this bill, our government is bringing back the draft while provoking a major war with Russia.
They have their bunkers, and they've already jailed hundreds for protesting an election.
So they'll definitely jail draft dodgers and everyone else who stands in their way.
Unless we unite against them.
Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese.
So there we go.
Another outstanding report from Greg Reese, who does really amazing...
I've talked with Greg at the Infowars offices from time to time, and he's just a great all-around guy doing amazing work.
I'd really encourage you to watch his Reese Reports.
And that website is ReeseReport.com, so definitely worth taking a look there.
Now, let me bring you one more story here, this one out of RT, which is funded by the Russian government.
But they make sense as the most direct source for this story, which shows you how things are really breaking apart in terms of relations between Russia and the West.
The headline is, Russia teases downgrading diplomatic relations with the West.
And the subhead, which is even more interesting, Ukraine's foreign backers are edging closer to the, quote, point of no return, says Moscow's senior diplomat.
And this is from Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
He says, quote, We have not initiated such a step yet, despite all of the things related to the most tumultuous phase in our relations with the West.
Is a decision to downgrade the level of diplomatic ties possible?
I can say that we are examining this issue.
Such decisions are made on the highest level, and it's too early to speculate.
He also warned that the West's sense of impunity on the world stage would eventually force Russia to retaliate more decisively if the situation does not change.
Now, Ryabkov also comments about the recent attack missile striking the beachgoers in Sevastopol.
It was a flagrant case of a direct U.S. involvement in the conflict.
The complicity in a terrorist act committed by the Kiev regime will not go unanswered.
Now, remember this man is a diplomat, so he's kind of holding back.
He's kind of, you know, softening his comments.
And still, it's pretty harsh.
He's basically saying, if I could paraphrase it, That we're on the verge of breaking off diplomatic ties with Western nations, which is what happens before war.
Back to Japan, you know, what happened right before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they broke off diplomatic ties like, I don't know, minutes before, or hours before the attack.
And the same thing is going to happen here where Russia is being maneuvered into this position by the West, by the economic sanctions.
Russia's economy is being suffocated by the West on purpose because the West has this monopolistic control over the dollar and is willing to weaponize it against its political enemies rather than to make it a neutral trade currency, which would contribute to global abundance, by the way.
Instead, the West weaponizes it, and Russia is on the verge of saying, one day here soon, probably, we are breaking diplomatic ties.
Sorry, I like to try to speak with a Russian accent, but I know it sucks.
But you can just imagine what Russia is going to say here.
It's like, you know, it's impossible to talk to Western leaders, you know?
And they're like, they are irrational, crazy lunatics.
You know, what can we do but launch missiles?
You know, that kind of thing.
And that's probably where this is going.
But the thing is, that's exactly what the West wants.
Just like America wanted Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor.
Have no illusions.
America wanted the Pentagon hit by a cruise missile.
In fact, it was the United States military that fired the cruise missile.
And in the same way, America today wants to be attacked by Russia because this feeds right into the narrative of the West.
And it actually makes the West stronger because then the whole world can condemn Russia and cut off all remaining economic ties with Russia, you see.
So if Russia takes the bait and starts to really aggressively bomb or nuke, especially if they nuke Western cities, even in Europe...
Then that's a horrible loss on Russia's part.
They will have fallen for the seductive retaliation route.
And that will be Russia's most grievous mistake that will probably lead to the end of Russia as we know it.
Whereas if Russia can exercise the discipline to not participate in this escalation ladder that the West has set out for it as a trap, In other words, if Russia could just stand back and kind of hold its own but not be emotionally provoked into an overzealous response,
then what eventually happens is the West destroys itself through its money printing policies, massive debt, internal strife.
And other factors.
I mean, the West is a suicide cult civilization, as I've talked about many times.
And where China is very wise on this is China does not look poised to try to physically attack America at the moment.
Although, you know, a couple years ago I was convinced they were, but now it appears they're not.
And they're also not poised to physically attack Taiwan at the moment.
Instead, they are simply asserting diplomatic pressure, economic pressure, and then biding their time.
China is waiting for the West to destroy itself.
Because endless money printing leads to self-destruction.
So this is the key question of our time.
Will Putin operate with discipline and restraint?
Which he has demonstrated so far, by the way.
Or, will this never-ending escalation of increasingly vile terrorist attacks against targets deep within Russia, like the Sevastopol Beach attack, will this lead to Like a rage, like a war rage moment among the Russian leaders and Putin himself.
Or maybe Putin is pressured by his domestic, you know, his war cabinet leaders, his foreign minister and so on.
Maybe he's pressured and then he overreacts and then, you know, a nuke hits a Western European city.
And if that day happens, it's the biggest mistake Russia will ever make.
And it's the greatest victory ever.
To the West.
And that's why they're trying to provoke Russia into doing exactly that.
Now, there's one other scenario in this is that if they can't, if the West can't convince Russia to nuke the West, then the intelligence agencies will probably set off their own nuke.
They'll nuke themselves, in other words, and blame it on Russia.
And that's a scenario that's becoming an increasing reality.
And my assessment is that the most likely scenario there is a dirty bomb attack on a major European city with the obvious targets being London.
I would say London is number one, actually.
But possibly Paris, possibly Berlin.
But I think the most likely scenario is a dirty bomb, false flag terror attack in the city of London.
That's blamed on Russia and used to declare total war against Russia.
That's what I'm betting is shaping up here.
And finally, I hope you understand that so much of the history that you think you know has actually been engineered like a giant Truman show.
The Oklahoma City bombing, I think that was 1995, total FBI operation.
9-11, you know, CIA deep state operation.
There are numerous examples of this.
I mean, even the relatively recent kidnapping plot of Michigan Governor Whitmer, total FBI operation.
Almost everybody involved in that was an FBI source or operative.
And yeah, they recruited like a couple of country boys who didn't know what they were doing, low IQ guys to show up and be the guilty rednecks or whatever.
But the whole thing was an FBI op.
And this is what the West is really good at is engineering situations to make itself look like the victim so that it can justify some insane expansion of government power or some restriction of civil liberties or a declaration of war.
And that's what we're headed into right now.
And also understand that the vast majority of the American people are easily emotionally manipulated by these false narratives.
Just like after 9-11.
You know, 90% of the American people were like, let's go get them Arabs!
You know, and they're waving their American flags around, and it was, you know, driving around in their cars with flags all over the place.
Like, we're American, nobody bombs us!
It's like, you're all puppets.
You've all been manipulated.
Your government's at war with you.
Not the Middle East, but of course, that was an unpopular statement at the time, and I have to admit that in 2001, I didn't even realize it.
Because I didn't know then what I know now.
I had no idea that the whole thing was engineered.
So rest assured that the masses of the American people and the corporate media and most of the people that you know, families, friends, whatever, they're all going to be suckered into whatever narrative is pushed by the establishment because they're going to be emotionally manipulated into it.
There's going to be some horrific thing.
Oh, look at all these people that died, all the blood, all the melted skin, whatever it is.
Oh, my God.
And then we've got to get them Russians.
And there's going to be the most insane anti-Russian Russo hatred campaign that will rival the anti-Muslim hatred campaign following the 9-11 attacks, right?
You know, those years from late 2001 throughout the entire 2000s, those were rough years to be a brown person in America.
Rough years to be a Muslim, right?
You were automatically considered to be a terrorist just because you prayed at a mosque or whatever, or you were following the faith of Islam.
Well, now, what's coming next is, and some of this has already happened, is that if you have any ties to Russia, you know, Russian ethnicity or...
You know, Russian investment in your business or you got a loan from a Russian bank or I guess any ties to Russia, you're going to be considered an enemy of the West.
Or if you speak Russian, you just look Russian, you know?
Which a lot of people look Russian because, you know, the Russian look is a kind of a universal kind of, you know, white person type of look.
So Is this going to be part of the war on white people?
Oh, you look Russian.
You might be Russian.
Do you speak Russian?
Nyet.
Oh, you're guilty!
You know, that kind of thing.
And then anybody who doesn't go along with the rage hatred against Russia is going to be, of course, labeled an agent of Russia or like a Putin lover.
And some of this is happening already, too, since 2022.
So, you know, even Colonel Douglas McGregor, who I mentioned earlier, is sometimes called like a Putin agent just for having an honest, sensible analysis of the war.
Same thing's true with Larry Johnson and other people.
Scott Ritter, obviously.
I mean, he's called a Russian agent all the time.
Now, his speech is pretty strongly pro-Russian and anti-American, and perhaps I almost feel like he's going to move to Russia and become a Russian citizen.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
But, I mean, his loyalty is still with America.
He's an American.
He's a United States Marine.
And he loves America.
He loves the principles of America.
He's just...
I think what Scott Ritter is doing is trying to stop World War III. Honestly.
And if that means saying some harsh things that Western leaders don't want to hear, you know, then so be it.
And I don't want to see World War III either.
Because we all lose.
We all lose.
Americans, Canadians, Russians, Europeans, Ukrainians, everybody.
Everybody dies, okay?
Even the Japanese would suffer under the radioactive fallout.
So, World War III happens, we all die.
And sadly, we're on that track right now, and I don't see anybody that's able to stop this.
And maybe the answer is Trump, but we may not have enough time for that.
I do think Trump would negotiate an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
I do.
I don't agree with everything that Trump is all about and everything he's done with Operation Warp Speed and so on, but he is actually very good at negotiating deals, you know, international deals.
And he's just unpredictable enough and just sort of a little bit crazy enough to be able to bluff his way into some pretty good deals.
So I would much rather have Trump negotiating with Putin than Biden or anybody from the Biden administration.
Not that Biden could negotiate anything at all anyway, as you know.
But if we make it to election day or the swear-in day next year, And if Trump is elected, and if we haven't all died in a giant nuclear cloud, a mushroom cloud, by that time, then I think there's a fair chance that Trump might be able to bring us back from the brink of total global nuclear annihilation.
But there's also a chance that that's just being overly optimistic.
And we're all...
We're living in a nuclear winter survival scenario before Christmas, okay?
That's...
The more likely outcome here at the moment.
And this is why I'm building tools that can survive nuclear war.
This is why I'm encouraging you to download these language models at brighteon.ai because they work in a nuclear war.
In other words, they work without any internet connection.
And yeah, you know, you're still going to need solar panels.
You're going to need your own solar generator.
You're going to need a local power source.
You know, you're going to need backup comms, all that stuff.
Check out our sponsors.
You know, Satellite Phone Store, SAT123, and so on.
Or get, you know, the backup power units they have there.
BeReady123.com, what have you.
Check it out.
Get yourself backup food supplies at HealthRangerStore.com.
And how much food will you need?
Well, I don't know.
How long does a nuclear winter last?
Like two years?
I mean, I don't know.
Just get as much food as you plan to live for, you know?
Garden seeds, whatever.
I don't know what's coming exactly, but I know that the so-called leaders in charge here in the West are insane lunatics who cannot be reasoned with And they actually want us to get nuked.
And they actually want humanity to be largely destroyed through annihilation and depopulation.
I mean, they launched the vaccine bioweapons on us.
You think they care if you're nuked to death?
No.
To them, that's mission accomplished, man.
If they could reduce U.S. population to something below 100 million people in the next year...
Ah, they would celebrate.
Like, yay!
We're partway there!
Now we've got to finish the job!
You know, just like the Zionists say in Israel, give us more bombs to finish the job!
That's probably the slogan of the West, talking to Russia.
Give us more bombs to finish the job!
Like, nuke us more until more Americans are dead, because that's what the American leaders want, or the globalist, Atlanticist leaders.
That's what they want.
So...
Prepare accordingly, folks.
This is not science fiction.
This is a spot-on analysis.
You know, this podcast is listened to by a lot of people inside the intelligence agencies and business leaders, state and local leaders all across the U.S. and around the world.
They listen to this podcast because the analysis is usually spot-on, not 100%, but it's informed, it's intelligent, and it's honest, and it's uncensored.
So this is where we are headed.
And unless somebody somehow brings us back from the edge of this abyss, then as a civilization, we're going over the edge.
And then God help us all.
All right, with that said, we're going to jump into the interview with Hakim from the Above Phone Company, which is a sponsor of our program.
But I've been working with Hakim on getting our large language model, Neo, to run on his new notebook computer that he's just launching.
It's called Above Book, and it uses this special Linux operating system.
And he's got this pre-installed software suite of all these Microsoft Office compatible programs under Linux that are all free and open source, by the way.
So you never have to register with Microsoft.
You never have to log in.
You don't have to activate a serial number.
None of that garbage.
It's all privacy oriented.
It runs the language model.
You know, great computing power, rugged chassis for these laptops.
Just a really great announcement.
And it's they're shipping in about two weeks is what Hakeem said.
So they're not shipping today, but he's got hundreds of them in stock that.
They're doing the final preloads of everything onto it, the final configuration to get ready to ship out.
So they're about two weeks out, but you can order them today.
Get in line for the de-googled phones or the above-book notebooks.
Anyway, this interview was a lot of fun.
We were playing around, joking around in the studio.
I get a little crazy later in the afternoons, and I just can't stop it.
I just have this...
You know, a little bit twisted sense of humor.
And Hakeem is great.
He just plays along.
You know, he's got a sense of humor, too.
So we had a lot of fun.
And check out this interview.
I think you'll really enjoy it.
And just, you know, pray that we're all not nuked to death in the meantime.
How about that?
So enjoy the interview.
I'll be back with you tomorrow.
Take care.
Welcome to today's interview in studio here at brighteon.com and we're joined today by our tech partner above phone and we have Hakim, the founder.
Welcome Hakim, it's good to have you in studio.
It's a pleasure to be back brother.
It's great to have you back.
And I'll tell you what, you've got something major to announce here today.
Let me just spill the beans a little bit and then I'll turn it over to you.
But you've got a new high security Linux based customized notebook that has pre-installed our large language model that we've been working on for quite some time.
And some new things about your privacy-oriented de-Googled phones as well.
So folks, that's what this interview is about today.
A lot of new things.
I haven't even seen the demo yet, but I'm really looking forward to this.
But I just want to start out by saying thank you, Hakeem, for everything that your company has done, because there are so many of our customers and followers who are using your phones.
They've de-Google-fied their lives now, which is great, because they're not being tracked anymore.
And now you're offering a notebook that has some of the same benefits.
So thank you for what you're doing.
Yeah, it's our passion, and we love to serve everyone.
We love to get to learn more about people.
And I want to say, last time we were talking about your AI and our devices, it was almost like a joke, right?
It was like in passing, but less than a few months later, we did it.
So I just want to pat both of us on the back, right?
Yeah, I remember.
I was like, do you think that you could run our language model on your notebooks?
Yeah.
And you're like, I don't know.
It might not be enough compute power.
Turns out it is enough compute power.
Yeah.
I'm really impressed with that.
So you don't have to have special graphics cards or anything.
It's just the standard CPU on the hardware is working.
Even the standard one works pretty fast.
And it can answer, you know, you ask it and it writes out a few paragraphs in a matter of like 15-20 seconds.
That's pretty cool.
Well, we're going to do a demo for people today.
Absolutely.
And show them some other features.
Let me just give out the website where people can go to find out about this.
It's abovephone.com slash Brighteon.
And you're going to get the Brighteon exclusive phones and the Brighteon exclusive notebooks, which are the above books.
And you can read about all the features here and everything.
This is about protecting your privacy, giving you tools to conduct your digital life without having Google or Apple surveilling you 24-7.
Absolutely.
And it's about this ecosystem, too, because we're going to talk about this today, but when you look at the technology that Microsoft and Apple has handed out, they honestly want to make you dumber.
That's their intention.
Hey, outsource your beautiful cognitive and creative capabilities to this AI. Oh, by the way, you don't know how to get directions to anywhere?
Thank you, Maps.
So it's like, how do we reverse the damage?
And And, yeah, you're going to, you know, this is a little bit more responsibility, but it's so worth it to get that capacity back.
Yeah, absolutely.
So go ahead and start showing us.
I mean, this is the first time that we've introduced our audience to your new Above book.
So what do you want to show us on that?
I mean, give us a tour.
Let's go right into it.
Yeah, so I want to give a shout out to the camera people in the house that brought in this amazing camera.
Yeah, go ahead and switch over to it.
There we go.
All right.
So you have one of your mobile devices and the new above book right there.
Nice.
Okay, so this is the above book on the back.
I've got this above phone just sitting here.
So this is an operating system based on Arch Linux, which is a cutting-edge Linux distribution.
It's called rolling release.
That means all the software updates at one time.
That means you're getting the freshest software available at any time.
It also means you have access to the largest library of open source software anywhere.
On a Linux computer, on a Windows computer, on a Mac computer, it doesn't matter.
Specifically due to Arch Linux.
So wait a minute, is Arch Linux, I mean, what sort of flavor is it based on like a Debian underlying...
Arch Linux has its own distribution.
And the beautiful part about it is that it's so customizable.
It could be a simple prompt, like a terminal prompt with nothing else, or it could be a fully-fledged desktop operating system.
That's what impresses me, because I'm used to running Linux from command prompt, which is a whole different learning curve, right?
But you've got a nice GUI here with this that I haven't seen that one before.
Go ahead and show us around a little bit.
Sure, yeah.
And this is the first time we've gone public with this.
This is the first time we're really showing it to anyone.
And we feel that Rayyan is special enough to get first looks at this.
We get the VIP tour, is that it?
Absolutely.
So at the first glance, it just looks like any computer, but you'll notice it has a bunch of amazing features, right?
It's got these beautiful way to organize your desktop.
You can move different files around.
And we've also taken some of the smartest ideas from Apple and the other big tech operating systems and decided to implement it ourselves.
So you're able to use gestures to swipe back and forth.
So imagine doing your work, you've got your Excel sheets or what have you on one screen, you switch over, now you're talking to the LLM, right?
You're totally upgrading your productivity that way.
So just to be clear, I just want to make sure people understand, there's no Google on this notebook, there's no Windows, there's no Mac, none of that.
This is just straight up open source Linux.
Is Arch an open source distribution?
Arch is an open source distribution.
I would imagine.
Okay.
Absolutely, yeah.
So there's no direct connections to Google on this machine, no direct connections to any big tech company.
And when I was working with my engineering team, one of the goals I had was, guys, can we make a Linux distribution that people don't have to touch the terminal?
They were like, I don't know about that.
I was like, come on, let's do it.
Let's try it.
And we eventually got to this.
We figured out everything you needed to do to maintain a Linux system, and we have it easily accessible.
So let me show you how easy it is to install a piece of software here.
Yeah, and then I want to ask you about apps that you pre-install.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, so check this out.
So this is the Arch user repository.
This is the largest library of software available.
So you'll notice a few things.
Oh my god, is that Spotify?
Yeah, you can have Spotify on this computer.
You can have Steam on this computer.
You can have Zoom.
I'll look at Zoom in a second here.
And the beautiful part about it is there's no terminal.
You can simply hit download, apply, and it'll go through and install everything.
Now, here's another reason why Arch Linux is so special, which, by the way, this isn't really...
It is Arch, but we've taken it so far.
It's our own operating system now.
We're calling it AboveOS.
Okay.
And it's rated to work on the AboveBook.
That's what we do all of our thorough testing on.
And the AboveBook hardware is the IBM ThinkPad hardware.
Yes.
It is the Lenovo ThinkPad hardware.
Oh, it's not IBM anymore?
No, no.
They switched it around.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I always remember it being IBM, but it's ThinkPad.
That's right.
And we have four different models that I can talk about those differences here soon.
But this is the Carbon model, so it's got really cool things like a touchscreen.
This laptop is incredibly light.
It's two and a half pounds, so super tiny, super powerful.
So yeah, we decided Linux needed to be for everyone.
Every man, every woman.
And the things we learned from doing the phones and also the first edition of these books is people didn't want to manage their passwords.
People did not want to touch the terminal at all.
That's true, yeah.
I don't even want to touch the terminal.
If I don't have to, I don't want to.
So I found the only guys in the world that lived in the terminal, and we got to work building nice interfaces for people to use.
So yeah, I could install Zoom right here in a second.
It wouldn't be a problem.
Let's see if Microsoft Teams is on here.
I'm just using this as an example.
That's literally Microsoft Teams.
You could get that if you wanted, because a lot of these companies have realized, whoa, Linux is eating our lunch, and it's a growing market share.
In fact, in the past two weeks, we're seeing Microsoft's market share drop by 40%.
Right now, we're seeing it in Islamic countries like Sudan.
But that's 40%.
That's like millions of people.
So they're switching over to what?
Linux?
To Linux.
Wow.
Yes.
Yeah, because Microsoft sucks, man.
I mean, in so many ways.
But also bad security and then the licensing requirements are a massive pain in the ass.
And you always have to constantly update Microsoft Windows in order for it to patch its vulnerabilities that seem to be...
It's like their programmers just...
It seems like they're actually authors of vulnerabilities.
Like they write vulnerabilities every day.
They're like, oops!
Did you hear what happened with Microsoft Recall?
Oh, man.
So Recall is this AI feature in all Windows AI PCs, which is what they're branding their new computers as, and it would take a picture of your screen.
Oh, yes.
Every few seconds takes another screen in order to train the internal AI. That's right.
Which is like a total violation of your privacy.
Totally, and this is what they were planning.
They thought this was a good idea, literally, this billion-dollar company.
They're like, all right, well, it'll be on by default, and it'll just sit in a database that anyone can go ahead and pull off with a few lines of code.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
It's like your computer is absolutely spying on you.
Most definitely, yeah.
So this AI PCs is the direction they wanted to go.
We hadn't seen a nice large language model like the one you've been working on, Mike, and we were like, alright, what does good AI look like on a computer?
And this is the closest we got.
Oh, by the way, we have a much newer model compared to the one that you already installed on this.
So we're going to give you the new GGUF files and everything to have the upgraded version on there.
But our model that we're using right now, it scores 94 out of 100 on our internal test, whereas the base models were like 50 to 54 out of 100.
And then we improved it to like 79 out of 100 and so on.
Anyway, our current model is 94.
So it answers questions about history, about botany.
In fact, you have a previous model here.
Yeah.
Can we ask it a botany question?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
So if you don't mind, let me think of a question.
Sure.
How about this?
Yeah, take your time.
All right, here.
Yeah, get your microphone there.
How about this?
This is biomistril, by the way.
Oh, this one's biomistril.
Okay, great.
Neobiomistril.
7 billion parameter.
Okay.
Ask it, what are the hormonal effects of the lignans in flax oil?
And lignans is L-I-G-N-A-N-S, in case you don't mind.
What are the hormonal effects of lignans in flax oil?
L-I-G-N-A-N-D-S. N-A-N-S, no D. And let's see what it says.
Alright, let's do this.
Okay, show the screen, guys.
We're doing it live.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, okay.
What?
Oh, you've got to load the model.
Okay.
Okay, it's loading it.
Alright, it's doing its thing.
Alright, I see you're running LM Studio there.
Flax oil is rich in lignans, which have various effects on the body's hormones.
Lignans can influence hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, causing changes in energy levels, fatigue, and mood swings.
For instance, flax oil may help reduce hot flashes experienced by menopausal women due to its effect on hormonal balance.
However, it could also lead to an imbalance of these hormones in individuals with hormone-dependent cancers for those taking hormone therapies like tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention.
Additionally, it might cause fatigue and mood swings in people who experience hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, as it could exacerbate symptoms of low energy levels.
Wow.
Pretty good response.
Yeah.
Heck yeah.
It's doing even better than I was testing it at home.
It waited for its A-game on stage.
Well, and remember, we have a newer model that's got even more training in it.
Can I throw another question at you?
Sure.
Okay, we're just doing this in real time.
And so I want to point out, this is what you're going to get out of the box.
The variety in addition of this book comes with the AI ready to turn on and talk to you like this.
Oh, and we should mention this is not using the internet or cloud services in order to achieve this.
It's all running locally.
Absolutely.
You can use it at home without internet.
If the internet goes down, all you need is battery, you're good.
Yeah.
Or a remote location.
And most importantly, then nothing is spying on you.
Like whatever you want to ask it.
Hey, let's do something fun.
Let's ask it like a really embarrassing medical question that people don't want to put into like a search engine.
Like a sexually transmitted disease.
It's going to be on my search history, man.
No, but no.
So let's do this.
How do we ask this question delicately?
What?
Okay, no, type this in.
I'm ready.
Okay, here we go.
Gosh.
I partied with two skanky chicks last night.
Okay, we're just having fun with the model.
Let's see what happens.
And now I have itchy symptoms.
Itchy private parts?
Itchy private parts symptoms.
Okay.
And then, what could be the diagnosis?
Let's just see what it says.
I mean, who knows, man.
We didn't really train it on this area of knowledge, but...
This is a whole other level.
Yes.
Let's see if it's going to be more helpful than a doctor.
Okay.
What does this say?
Okay.
I was going to say, eat more flax oil.
Back to the flax oil thing.
I really like that.
Yeah, that was a very strong answer.
Is it thinking?
Oh, here we go.
Oh my.
It's not uncommon for someone to experience the burning or itching sensation after sexual contact.
This can often be caused by infections such as yeast or herpes.
If you're concerned about your partner's health status, consider getting tested yourself to ensure you don't have any issues that could affect yours.
In the meantime, try using over-the-counter antifungal creams or supplements like Lactobacillus.
That's not even bad advice.
That's not bad advice.
It's repairing the biome.
So here's what's funny.
Again, we haven't even trained it on this focus area.
Let's do something on survival and prepping.
How about this?
Something technical.
Let's do it.
I don't know which data set this model has been trained on, but let's say I need to connect a charge controller to 75-watt solar panels.
What's the correct way to wire it?
I mean, something like that.
You don't mind me just throwing questions, do you?
I don't at all.
Is this the first time you've demoed it live?
Yeah, actually, it is.
Wow.
First time demoing, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's see if it's got knowledge about solar installs, which it may not.
I don't know.
Maybe it does.
I'd be super impressed.
Because this one was trained on Mercola, right?
Yeah.
There's definitely Mercola content in this engine.
Oh my gosh.
To properly wire a controller to 75-watt solar panels, follow these steps.
Locate a suitable place for connecting the controller and solar panels.
This should ideally be in an enclosed area where both components can be protected from rain and other elements.
If necessary, insert a small box with waterproof electrical connections for this purpose.
Well, I mean, it's like the beginning of an answer.
We probably have to be more specific, I guess.
Give me the steps.
You can say, yeah, walk through the steps of how we connect solar panels to a charge controller.
Something like that.
Do you want me to do that?
Yeah, sure.
Walk me through the steps.
Oh, you already typed it in?
Okay.
Go for it.
I jumped the gun.
What'd you say?
Sorry, AI commander.
Certainly, here are the detailed steps.
I think you've got to ask it the whole question over again.
Actually, on LM Studio there, you need to do a whole new conversation.
It's on the top left.
Do a new conversation.
Yep, there you go.
And then ask it the whole question, like...
Walk me through the steps of how I connect a solar panel to a charge controller, something like that.
I need to connect a charge controller to a 75-watt solar panel.
What is the correct way to wire it?
Walk me through all the steps.
Yeah, let's try that.
See what it does.
Now, remember, this is the PubMed database from BioMestrel, so it's probably not trained on solar.
One of those nerds know about electrical.
Who knows?
Yeah.
But, oh, it's cranking out something.
Well, that's interesting that it's even got that level of detail.
Someone fact check this.
Yeah.
And use fungal cream, if necessary.
But anyway, we're just playing around with this model.
But I don't want to take the show time just playing with the model.
No, I mean, I think it's super incredible.
Hats off to us for actually having something working that people can use right away.
That is so cool, because you don't need a supercomputer.
You don't need a server.
This is running on this laptop here.
Yeah.
This laptop, and soon we'll get it on the phone, too.
I don't have that demo ready to show y'all, but this can run on the phone.
That was my next question.
I know you and I have been talking about that.
But it's very difficult to run a language model on a phone.
They need to have enough RAM, the whole model.
And so you'd have to get our best phone, the Pixel 8 Pro, because that one's got 12 gigabytes of RAM. Wow.
Yeah.
So let's go back to the above book here and talk about the other apps.
What do you pre-install on it that people will use?
And let me just say, I think a lot of people will want to load up...
Excel spreadsheets and Word docs and you know like the common type of...
email apps things like that that's a perfect segue into the office suite so i'll switch back over here and we have this office suite it's called only office now i really love only office because other office suites on linux they typically convert the microsoft office files into their own format so they go from microsoft like xml to open document format right only OnlyOffice actually works with the native format.
Oh, it keeps that format.
Absolutely.
And this is the thing I love about it.
I've used Linux for a decade, so I've been around the block with working with Office documents.
And all of the formulas are the same.
Oh, wow.
See here, right?
Wow.
It looks exactly like...
I don't know if we could get the lower camera, and maybe that might have some color there.
Let's see.
There we go.
So it looks like Excel.
It looks like Excel, and it's got all the same panels and everything.
Wait a minute.
This is called Only Office?
Only Office.
Now, is that also available for Windows and Mac, or is it just Linux?
That's a very good question.
I'm pretty sure it's only available for Linux, but I could be wrong on that.
But it's excellent.
Here it is on GitHub.
Yeah.
So only Office.
A safe and open source office and productivity suite.
Because I'm familiar with like Office or like Libre.
Libre Office.
Which is...
Good.
It's just not perfect.
We're really happy with OnlyOffice.
Wow.
Very high fidelity.
I'm impressed.
I do all my PowerPoints and stuff.
And so you can see it's got everything, right?
You can do your document editors.
You can do your spreadsheet.
You can do your presentations.
And soon, one day, we are going to do our own cloud service where you can actually save the documents to the cloud.
But right now, we have it on your phone, and we do have a peer-to-peer cloud that you can use between your phone and your computer.
So when you say a peer-to-peer cloud, it's actually not really a cloud.
It's just like a peer-to-peer file sharing mechanism between your above phone and your above book.
That's right.
Yeah, so I'll bring the above phone on screen here so you can see it.
And I'm going to show you something really cool.
So normally when you're managing files between a computer and a phone, you're moving it over with a USB. And we've recommended that for a very long time.
But that's where Apple always had a one-up on us.
They're just like, oh, it's magically synced.
Yeah.
So we sat down and, you know, with this above book, we're like, we want to have that capability too, and so we can do that.
I'm actually going to show you here.
Let me take a picture of my dog.
Yeah.
And we'll sync that.
Let's do that.
Okay.
So, here we go.
Wait, let me turn this sucker around here.
Okay.
All right.
Here's a roadie photo for you.
Excellent.
Cool.
So in a few seconds, I'm not going to touch it.
In a few seconds, this photo should load on my folder.
And there it is.
I think that is the puppy.
Is it?
Yeah, that's him.
Blow it up.
What was that?
Like five seconds, right?
So this is a private vault that is on your phone, on your computer, and it's not leaving either of those devices.
And is it encrypted when it's passed in the file?
It is.
Yeah, it's end-to-end encrypted.
Wow.
So there's no central server that can keep...
There's no central server.
You are the central server.
You are.
It's peer-to-peer.
That's right.
Okay.
Yep.
So this is something we're super excited about.
We're going to show people how to set it up.
It's not too much of a setup, but...
So here's the beautiful part, y'all.
If you guys end up getting a phone and a computer today, you're still gonna take advantage of that free 45-minute call you have with the phone, and we have a free hour call with the computer.
That's a lot of time. - Yeah, to walk you through any questions. - Absolutely.
Yeah, so I mean, personally for me, I don't know why I went so long without doing the syncing thing.
I was managing my vaults and everything using USBs.
That's what I usually do, is I just use USBs.
But yeah, this seems like it makes a lot of sense.
But, you know, I've got to say about the office suite that you just talked about there.
What's the name of that again?
Only Office.
I'm so impressed with that, because...
Number one, I hate Microsoft Office licensing.
Nonsense.
They make you pay every year now?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Like, I want Bill Gates to have more money, you know?
Jeez.
But then, we do use open source Office suites throughout our company, but then sometimes I've had complaints from some of our people, like one of my chemists in the lab was like, well, I have to share these documents with this other lab Like sharing, you know, mass spec results or whatever.
And they don't have the ability to read these.
So what you're talking about that it keeps the Microsoft format, XLS, I guess.
Yeah, from my experience, and I've only been using this for a few months, it is indistinguishable.
There might be tiny defects, but it's way better than other Office suites, right?
You've probably seen like, oh man, this document formatting, like all that time I spent formatting, it's ruined.
Yeah, right.
You won't have that problem.
Oh, hey, I have something.
Let's do this.
So the thing about this language model that can really be helpful to people, let's say that somebody is composing an email or let's say a product description, okay?
Yeah.
Let's use the language model in a way that one of our customers might want to use it.
Cool.
Let's fire it up.
You can correct grammar with it.
You can ask it to correct grammar or you can ask it to expand ideas.
So how about this?
Put in this prompt.
Okay.
Expand the following idea.
I want to launch a lemonade stand business.
That's organic?
Yeah.
How about organic lemonade stand?
How would I write...
Can you write me a business plan?
Yeah, or write an opening proposal for this business plan.
Something like that.
And let's see what it says.
Can you write me an opening business proposal?
Yeah.
Alright.
Let's do it.
So the thing about these language models, and this is Biomisro, which means this is not the best model to use for this task.
There are better ones that we've got.
But...
As you can see, it's expanding the idea right now.
Go ahead and show that.
So give us a sense of what it's saying.
Of course.
I'd be happy to craft you an opening business proposal for your new organic lemonade stand.
To get started, can you please provide me with some basic info about the business, such as its name and target audience?
It's asking me questions like a consultant.
I don't know if it would do it like this.
It's got a pretty big context window.
So I think the context window of this model, depending on your settings in LM Studio, it could be 32768.
So you can actually carry on a pretty long conversation where it remembers the thing that you said previously.
But we don't have to go down that whole road.
I just wanted to kind of show people...
Do you want to...
So, I mean, it's only asking two things.
Name and target audience.
Do you want to answer and see what it says?
How about ask it, give me a name idea, or no, give me name ideas, plural, for an organic lemonade stand business.
See what it says.
All right.
We're finally putting PubMed to use, right?
And we're doing it live.
When other big tech companies do their product launches, they're basically lying.
It's all staged.
It's staged.
It's like a video at a time.
And they don't have as much fun as we do.
That's right.
All right, what's it saying?
All right, sure, here are some name ideas for your organic lemon stand.
One, Lemon Lift Organics.
Cool.
Farm Fresh Lemonades.
I like it.
Squeezing Life Organics.
Squeeze life by the oranges.
Take your life by the balls.
It's getting a little dark.
Organ-tastic juices.
Organic-tastic.
Organic-tastic.
No, it's not like organs.
You need a little extra liver in your lemonade.
Oh man, I was going to make a dark joke.
I won't go there.
Pure Impressed Juice.
Wow, it's just coming.
Lemon Love.
Taste the Rainbow.
Citrus Crate.
Sweet Sunshine.
Green Lady.
Organically Orangey Organics.
Happy Healthy.
The Sunny Lemonade.
Fresh Fruit Family.
I think we got it going, man.
It goes on.
30 different.
I won't finish it, but that's impressive.
So here's what's cool.
This can be a brainstorming tool for people.
You can ask it to write a letter that you need to fire an employee.
Like, how do I write that letter?
Or you can write it yourself and ask it to correct your grammar or tone it down.
Totally, right?
It's a launching off point.
Yeah, and it's a brainstorming tool.
It's a brainstorming tool, and this is a healthy way to use AI, I'd say, because it's a starting off point, and it's going to tell you things that you're going to go off and research by yourself.
Right.
You're still the creator of your business or whatever.
You're still in charge.
You're using the tool to enhance your human projects rather than being subjected as a slave to the AI Skynet system, which is Google and Apple.
Microsoft, all the players.
They're super desperate to try and keep you in the bubble.
Now, if any of you have children and grandchildren out there that you know you want them to be in the parallel economy, but you're not sure how...
Get them one of these above books.
They're loaded with creative tools like art tools, video editing tools of this AI's document editor.
So it's the perfect launching off point to get them to start thinking about how they're going to make their impact in the world.
Absolutely.
In fact, look, let me add this.
The website, again, is abovephone.com slash brighteon.
And you have a special...
That's like a time-limited special, right?
I do.
So let me tell you all about it.
So we're publishing this on the 27th, and starting from now until two weeks, which is the July 11th, you are going to get $100 off of the computer.
We have three different models.
You're going to get $100 off any of them.
And if you purchase a phone, that's $50 off.
Now, if you buy a phone and a laptop, you get an additional $100 off.
So if you get the bundle, you see how much work we put in to demo...
So just to be clear then, from...
From your company, someone will be on the phone with our customer for a full hour, is it?
An hour for the book and 45 minutes for the phone.
And they'll walk you through anything that you want to know.
How do I set this up?
How do I use this?
What do I do?
That's right.
And not only that, but we're working on a 40-series video tutorials for doing everything on the book.
So you can go to the self-service part, and if you still have questions, which I'm sure you'll have a few, you can come to us.
And it's not AI. I know we're doing a really awesome job here with AI, but it'll be a real person.
But it's a human being working with you.
That's right.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then what's the warranty on the computer or the phone?
There is a one-year warranty on the computer.
This isn't written down anywhere on the page, but I'm just telling you informally, if there's something wrong with the hardware, and it's not like you drop it, you will be able to send it back to us.
The phone, we don't have an established warranty, but we work with people on a case-by-case basis.
There's a lot of different factors that come into play, but we're here to support you.
Alright, so if somebody's sending the notebook back and there's like a giant boot stomp print on the screen, you're probably like, um, that's not a hardware failure.
Like, somebody stomped your notebook, right?
That's right.
Stop leaving your notebook at Bill Gates' house.
Or it's like giant hoof prints because a donkey ran over it.
Which could happen at my ranch, by the way.
You never know.
But for normal hardware failures, like if it just conks out for some reason, you'll replace it?
That's right.
Okay.
Yeah, this is the first time we're demoing the book live.
We're trying to get a feel for what people think about this product.
Are people ready for Linux?
We feel like mass consciousness is ready.
Microsoft does our job for us.
They're the best partners we could ever have because they try and control and lock in their users and treat them like children.
We want to empower you.
We want to make you stronger.
So if you've been meaning to make the jump to Linux, this is the best system, right?
I want to use this system.
Absolutely.
I noticed that you name your above books.
You have one called Carbon here, and you have Magnesium.
And of course, you know there's a war on Carbon, so...
It's a carbon-based life form.
Yeah, but we're carbon-based life, and then you can have a carbon notebook.
But carbon is the high-end version here.
You can show my screen, yeah.
So carbon's the high-end version, and then you have magnesium, which is mid-range.
Yes, and I'll tell you about these differences.
So carbon is the most premium model.
It's got the best-in-class performance.
It's on par with a magnesium.
What is it?
It clocks out at...
4GHz is the burst for the processor.
It inserts that at 2.8GHz, so really powerful.
16GB of RAM. It's also got a beautiful screen, 1610 aspect ratio, so that's widescreen.
You're seeing it in widescreen.
And also a color accuracy of 99.9%.
If you want to watch movies, you're doing color-sensitive tasks.
Tasks, like editing video, this is the one.
And of course, it's the most premium model for that reason.
It's also the lightest at two and a half pounds.
This thing is so, so light.
Could you add the 16 gigabytes spec to this page?
Yes, yes.
When I'm looking for a computer, I want to know how much RAM and how much storage it's got.
Totally.
So, okay, I'm glad you mentioned that.
When you click into the book, you'll be able to pick a storage options.
It's not on there right now, but you can choose from five, half a terabyte to all the way to four terabytes.
Oh, that's cool.
And they're all standard with 16 gigabytes of RAM. Okay, they'll have 16 gigs of RAM. Can I upgrade the RAM if I want to?
You can't.
The RAM is soldered in.
That's fixed.
Okay, but 16 is great for a notebook, and it's more than enough to run the language model.
That's right.
That's cool.
Okay, and then you've got the Magnesium, which is...
It's the business class laptop, so it's got the same performance as the Carbon...
But it's a little bulkier.
You know, the screen isn't that nice 16-10 ratio.
The colors isn't as sharp.
But it's super durable.
That's the thing I like about it.
Like, you can knock this thing around.
And by the way, all of this hardware is the highest standard in military specifications for shockproof, waterproof, all that kind of stuff.
Are you talking about just for the magnesium?
For all of them.
For all of them.
Oh.
So, wait a minute, are you calling these like ruggedized?
Or are they not quite ruggedized?
Or what would you say?
I would say there's a series of like 90 military specification tests they've done on these laptops.
And so they've got that certification.
Has it passed the Health Ranger Ranch trauma test animal test?
Calling the donkey?
Yeah.
No, I mean, I can put hardware through some pretty rough environments, like high dust, high heat, particulate matter.
The other day, like, before I drove to the studio, a chicken laid an egg in my truck.
Oh, my God.
Just because I left the door open and went in there, like, this is comfortable, laid an egg in there.
And I'm like, wow, I got, like, three eggs in my truck.
Yeah, nice.
But that's what happens.
They just walk, the chickens walk all over the I tell you what, if this laptop survives a year at your ranch, I want you to put a sticker with your face on it.
Okay, alright.
It survived.
Alright, and then you have the starter.
We got the starter, so this is the budget model.
The performance isn't going to be as strong as the other two, but it still runs our operating system.
It's still a great computer.
The performance is about two-thirds of the other two options.
And it's got an Ethernet port, so that's always nice.
Oh, a hard, like a physical Ethernet port.
A physical Ethernet port.
Well, the others don't?
They don't.
They have USB-C, and we actually sell a hub.
If you guys can see this, we sell a hub that goes along with the book.
So this is a 14-in-1 hub.
That's four USB cards in it and whatever.
Exactly, and the Ethernet.
So that's how those work, because they're a lot thinner than the starter.
Okay, understood.
Well, I kind of like an Ethernet port in my laptop.
I love Ethernet ports, but I've also come to understand that you've got to just use a dongle now.
Yeah, true.
Okay, cool.
And then tell us about this privacy suite, the above privacy suite, that can be added to the notebooks, because I'm familiar with that on your phones.
Is it just the same...
Go ahead.
Check this out.
So Privacy Suite is our suite of software services.
It's a private communications for your notebook and for your computer.
I'm going to pull up...
So this is like encrypted private messaging and things like that?
Exactly.
And it's also connected with the internet phone number.
And what I'm going to show you is we're actually going to have a text conversation with my friend...
Is your friend's name language model?
Oh, man.
No, is he standing by?
He is standing by.
And so he is on a hike right now.
So this is a phone number.
I want to show you guys this, if you can see the screen.
All right, so this is actually a phone number.
And he's on the West Coast.
I'm going to ask him about his hike.
Okay, does he know he's going to be on our program?
He does.
Okay, he's not going to...
Do something crazy.
He might do something crazy.
He is on the team, after all.
So I'm asking him, you can see that my phone is synced up.
You're seeing the messages on the right-hand side.
In a second, he's going to let me know how his hike went.
And it's beautiful because we've finally been able to get what Apple does so well.
They sync your messages between your phone and your computer.
We can do the same thing.
Microphone.
And we can do the same thing here.
So this is kind of like using Signal, how you have your Signal app on your computer and your phone.
This is kind of like that, but it's not Signal.
It's peer-to-peer.
It's not Signal.
It's not funded by the U.S. government.
It's a private software called XMPP. So it's end-to-end encrypted communication.
And then this is how we bridge out to the phone network.
Okay, cool.
This is the only part I haven't tested live, so we'll see.
So he's going to send me some pictures here.
Did he reply?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
There we are.
The picture showed up on the phone.
It did not show up on the computer.
Let's give it another second.
Okay.
It's coming in.
It's coming in.
All right.
Cool.
And again, this is point-to-point encrypted.
This is, since we're going through the phone network, that's the only part that's not encrypted.
But yes, since he is using XMPP, it's encrypted between us.
And if I want, this is what we'll have to do.
But wait a minute, but you said using the data of the phone network, but it's encrypted.
So I'm just pushing encrypted garbage bits across the phone network, right?
No.
The phone network can't see the image.
Unfortunately, if you're on the phone network, then you have to...
It gets encrypted by the telecom provider, and so they have full visibility to it.
They share with any law enforcement that they're required to.
The shift we have to make is this is kind of a convenience thing, right?
What I'm showing you right now.
It's like, hey, you can text people off of your computer, but eventually we need to move to XMPP, fully internet-based encrypted messaging.
Right.
Stay off the cell towers.
That's right.
That's when we'll fully be encrypted.
Okay.
Or mesh networks coming up.
Or mesh networks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
So, okay, you can see some of these photos coming in.
So he's just sending you photos from his hike?
He's sending me photos from his hike.
This is beautiful.
This is somewhere out in Oregon.
Cool.
Ask him to give us a question for our AI. Perfect.
Yeah, let's combine it.
Yeah, and that way, you know, even our audience knows it's totally spontaneous.
Yeah.
Unless this has all been pre-planned and scripted, which it hasn't.
Nah.
I just made it up this morning.
That's too boring.
It's too boring to script anything.
It's more fun to be spontaneous, you know?
We'll do it live.
And we're having very good luck today.
So it looks beautiful.
Those pictures are really nice.
And you can see that what we're working on is right now you can only call from your phone.
But we're working on a piece of software that will make it so you can do calls and video calls from your computer.
Oh, right.
Then you can have phone calls happening from your desktop.
Yeah, that's cool.
We're just waiting here.
Okay, so he's going to come up with a question for us.
All right.
In the meantime, let me mention the website again.
Just go to abovephone.com slash brighteon to get the specials that we mentioned and also, of course, preloaded with our language model.
Now, Hakim, I've got to get you the more recent language model.
Yes.
There's also a larger parameter language model that we're using internally right now.
I want to let you test that.
It's about an 11 gig file.
It might be too slow for the notebook because it's a bigger parameter file.
But I want you to test it and see what you think.
See if it's worth it.
Because the quality of the responses is even better.
The bigger the model, the more we can train it.
I am really impressed with the 7 billion parameter model already.
And I feel like I get the intuitive hit that that one will run too.
So it's like getting even better than that.
That's exciting.
And so what we'll do is we'll have both models available on the computer.
Yeah, that would be really cool.
In fact, something else, Hakeem...
You have a little bit of time after this interview, right?
I do.
I have one of our data pipeline data center units here in this building.
I want to show you that before you leave.
I would love to get a tour.
Because it's actually processing a bunch of books right now.
Offline, by the way.
They're not even connected to the internet.
I was imagining like a library and guys just handing books.
No, it's actually on a thumb drive.
And I just pop book text into the systems and then they process it for days and weeks.
And then I take it off.
But we wrote all the programs to do the processing.
That is so cool.
I know how hard that is.
Like the data, what do they call it?
Data sanitation, the labeling of it.
I used to work at an AI company.
That's where the majority of work is.
Model's the easy part.
Yeah.
No, it goes through several steps.
Like text normalization is just the very beginning.
You've got to normalize all the text and clean it up, and then we have all these other things.
But did your friend reply yet with the question?
I think we caught him off guard.
Let me just make sure you got the message.
Is he still on his hike?
If that doesn't work, I think Rhodey can come up with a question for us, but it usually involves food.
What is the most tasty food that dogs can eat?
He said yes, he's got a question.
So I want to point out while we're waiting for his question, so this is the experience you can get out of the box.
You sign up for an anonymous phone number.
You don't have to give us your personal information.
And then you can log into this phone number on your phone.
It's an app that you can use on your phone.
And you can call people.
You can text people.
You can call them internationally.
The microphone there.
You can call them internationally.
And it all happens right here with your above book or your above phone.
So everything's going to be synced up.
This is the future of communications.
Now also...
Of course, a lot of our audience that use crypto wallets, you can install all the crypto wallets on here.
You just need to get the Linux version of the wallets, right?
Totally.
I use a lot of different Monero wallets on this.
This is this above book.
I've been using myself personally.
You can get pretty much whatever you need.
There's Bitcoin wallets, Monero wallets, multi-coin wallets.
He asks, why is security of communication an ideal part of freedom?
Huh.
Well, that should be interesting because that's not what our model is trained on, but let's see how it goes.
We're doing it live.
Yeah.
We are expanding our training into more survival, preparedness, off-grid living, and also finance and currencies.
That's the thing I was slapping myself earlier because I forgot to bring you the drives with a bunch of survival books, but I'm going to get you those.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
We can put it in the pipeline.
I definitely want that.
Let's do it.
Security of communication is indeed an essential aspect of freedom as it ensures the ability to share information without fear of interference or censorship.
In today's digital age, communication has become increasingly reliant on technology and networks such as cellular phones, email, social media platforms, and various other online services.
These tools enable us to stay connected and informed about important issues affecting society.
You don't have to read the whole thing, but...
Let's see.
It keeps going.
Oh.
If access to these forms of communication is blocked, it will result in a loss of freedom, as well as opportunities for manipulation.
Cool.
That's a really good answer.
That's a really good answer.
And at the end, it says, interference from external sources such as government entities or corporations.
Okay.
Ask a follow-up question, if you would, please.
Okay.
Why is it a good idea to end the Fed?
Just like that.
Let's just give it the Ron Paul question.
Why is it a good idea to end the Fed?
Alright.
I'm excited if they can pick that up.
This is going to be pretty good for a bio, you know, like a medical trained model.
Yeah.
Let's see what it says.
What's it saying?
There are several reasons why ending the federal government...
Maybe beneficial for society.
Whoa.
One reason it's going, it's getting political.
Oh, one reason is that the federal government under president Joe Biden's administration has already implemented numerous policies that significantly impact lives, including restrictions on gun gun ownership, uh, legislation to legalize abortion.
Wow.
Uh, additionally, if there are concerns over Biden's intention to increase taxes and as well as his efforts to promote LGBTQ ideology, We didn't even ask you any of that stuff.
I was talking about the Federal Reserve, obviously, you know?
And it's like, end it all!
This is totally like Skynet now.
It's like, take down the Biden regime.
This AI is quite base.
Oh my gosh.
Amazing.
I'm glad we did that.
Yeah, that's funny.
Who knew that PubMed has been put to a whole new use?
But this is trained on every document that's ever been published by the National Institutes of Health You hear that, guys?
You have some bad eggs.
They're not even on your team.
Look, they're feeding the AI. It's like there's some science paper out there like, we should end the government, and it got published in some journal somewhere.
It got scraped into the model.
Turncoats.
It's so funny.
Okay.
Let's see.
Maybe I'm thinking about if there's anything else I can show you.
I just want to, maybe I'll briefly show you the email calendar.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead and show us stuff, because I'll get carried away with all kinds of fun questions.
We can do a whole session on AI. Let's do that.
Let's prepare for like a Bonanza AI session later on.
I've got another question.
I want to ask it, like, what's the world's largest producer of cobalt?
Afka?
Where do they mind that stuff?
No, I won't ask it that.
It should be the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The DRC, I think, is the largest producer.
So did you ask it that?
I did not ask it that.
I will totally ask it that.
We'll ask it that later.
If y'all are interested in private email, this is a private email service that works on the computer, it works on the phone.
Let me pull this out so you can see.
Are these all your private emails?
These are all my private emails.
You can see I'm a staunch supporter of natural news.
No longer private emails.
Ah, man, they're going to know I'm attending the Greater Reset happening in Bath, United Kingdom, September 27th to the 29th.
So cool.
So check this out.
You can see the emails are synced up.
And, yeah, this is a normal email service.
Now, the thing is, when I delete an email, I don't know if this will work immediately, but when I delete an email...
It's going to delete from...
It's gone from the server.
Oh, wow.
Well, I can see that I read it, and then it'll...
There we go.
Oh, wow.
So that's the difference with our email service.
Other email services, they can't promise that they are not storing archives of your emails.
When you delete it from our service, it's actually gone.
It's deleted.
It's deleted.
So is this part of the AboveSuite service?
That's right.
Okay.
Yeah, so it's part of the AboveSuite service.
We have an email.
We also have a calendar.
I haven't put anything on the calendar, but it's really cool.
It's integrated with the email.
If I could create a meeting for us, I'd invite your email.
Then it's going to invite you to the calendar invite.
And then you might be able to use our Jitsi conferencing session.
Oh, yeah.
To hop in and have a video conference.
There we go.
So anyone can join.
Cool.
Now, what about a VPN?
I'm glad you asked.
There's already one running on the device, and it's really easy to set up.
So we have AboveVPN as part of our suite.
You can see it running right here.
Cool.
I'm connected to the West Coast VPN. And can you change which point you're connected to?
Absolutely.
We have three locations right now.
You can switch between them pretty easily.
We have plans to expand into most countries.
So if you guys have suggestions of which countries you'd like to see, let us know.
Mexico.
Mexico?
Yeah.
Mexico City.
Why not?
We've got servers in Mexico City.
Yeah, it'll be pretty fast for us, too.
Yeah, it would be.
And more than Canada, too.
It's really hard to find servers in Mexico.
Is that right?
I've looked.
The cartels have some, I've heard.
Cartel Cloud.
Yeah, Cartel Cloud Services.
No, the reason I know about that is because I am a major consumer of avocados.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and I hear that the cartels run all the avocado trade.
So are you telling me when I go into a store and I get some avocados, there might be some blood money associated with that?
No, pretty much just cartel guacamole, man.
Dang.
It's like Michoacan avocados or aguacates, as they say in Mexico, right?
Yeah.
But I was even joking the other day, I'm like, you realize that when the dollar collapses and the US economy has gone to crap, and because all the big box stores have taken over all the local, used to be like local hardware stores or whatever, people are like, how do I get anything?
Guess who's great at distribution and supply chains?
Cartels.
I mean, who can move goods in a decentralized manner?
They do it with avocados.
Don't they have like shipping companies and stuff?
I don't know.
It's like they know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy and he's going to get it for you.
I need an oil filter for this diesel engine.
What am I going to do?
Call your cartel representative, man.
He can get it for you.
It's going to take 12 days, but he can get it.
It's kind of like, yeah, I'm not even going to say.
This could get you in trouble.
This could get you in trouble, I guess.
You know, that's amazing, and I do love the avocados in Mexico.
I also recently learned how to make guacamole properly.
Oh, did you?
It's changed my life.
Use a fork to mash it.
Hey, ask the language model how to make guacamole.
There you go.
How about this?
What's the proper way?
What should I add in my guacamole for even enhanced help?
Awesome.
Let's do that.
Let's see what it says.
This is the guac recipe from secret Skynet.
Like, when Skynet here is not taking down the Biden regime, it'll teach you how to make guacamole and organic lemonade.
I love it.
Yes.
What supplements should I add?
I shouldn't say supplements.
Not supplements, but ingredients.
Ingredients, yeah.
So, chia seeds.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
Sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, avocado oil, olive oil.
Avocado oil?
Yo, I heard you like avocados.
Yeah.
Oh, what else?
Fresh lemon juice.
There we go.
Chopped cilantro, of course.
Love that.
Jalapenos.
Yep.
Good.
It didn't take it too far.
It didn't say, like, dried seaweed.
No, that's a very reasonable type of answer.
So if you're in your kitchen and maybe you're making meals for a little gathering or whatever, you can ask this language model for recipes.
If you're not going to do anything else on your laptop, it's already worth it for the AI. That's true.
Yeah, that's totally true.
And it's all pre-installed.
All pre-installed, all offline, all the time.
Very cool.
Okay.
All right.
So what else do you have to show us?
You already talked about the VPN. We talked about the application suite, all the point-to-point, like private cloud syncing features.
What else you got?
Let me show you our health mode.
So by the time you guys get this laptop, you'll notice how red the screen is getting.
This screen is rated to have reduced blue light emissions already, but we also have a temperature setting that you can use to...
Alright, there we go.
And it's going to get super red.
Whoa!
So if you're worried about your eyes getting shot from blue light, this is a great computer to have.
It looks...
Difficult to read now.
But that's the extreme.
If you're close up to it, I can still make all the text.
It is pretty out there.
And then we're working on a health mode.
We decided to do this.
So if you turn on the health mode, it turns on this program called Safe Eyes, which mandates every 20 minutes you do iYoga.
iYoga?
If you've never done this, this is such a life changer, man.
So every 20 minutes, you need to go look out at a point far in the distance.
Oh, so that your eyes focus.
Eyes focus somewhere else, and then it'll have you roll the balls around, circle your eyes around your head.
Wow.
And your eyes feel so much better, man.
Wow.
That's interesting.
So like, little ergonomic reminders and things.
Yeah, because Apple and Google don't give a shit.
They're going to let teenage girls go blind while they're using their phones and their dark rooms at night.
Like, they don't care.
So it's like, alright, let's do something that helps people.
Alright, fair enough.
Okay, cool.
So the bottom line is, it's a privacy-oriented operating system that has real high compatibility with all your existing apps and things, even PowerPoint, as you said earlier.
It's got communications, email, VPN, when you get the above suite.
What's not to like about it, you know?
And it's got the language model built in.
What are you doing now?
I'm just showing you our search engine.
So this is the only thing I don't think we got to talk about was the web browsing.
So yeah, it can also do web browsing.
Oh, of course.
Of course.
And it's more private than normal.
What's the browser that it's using?
It is using a fork of Chrome's browser.
It's called ungoogled Chromium.
Ungoogled Chromium.
I like that.
Doesn't connect to Google at all.
And we've also added our own extensions onto it.
They're going to do things like delete your cookies regularly, block trackers and ads.
So in essence, it's an experience that you don't have advertisements on your computer.
You're going to get used to that.
Your blood pressure is going to go down.
What's the base search engine that's powering it?
Because I found that Brave Search is pretty good.
Well, let's see.
So this is our own search engine.
This is called a meta-search engine.
It's a search engine that searches other search engines.
Oh, okay.
So you can kind of pick and choose what search engines you want to include?
That's right, yeah.
You can see this list here.
So I've got Brave right there.
I can turn that on and off.
Cool.
And yeah, you can pick which ones you want to search from.
And then the cool part about it is it aggregates the search results.
Search for Brightian.
I spelled it wrong.
You still come up.
And then there's no advertisements.
And yeah.
Search for guacamole recipes.
Let's see what it finds.
Let's do it.
Healthy guacamole recipes.
Best ever guacamole.
Okay, cool.
Nice.
Cool.
So, I mean, this laptop, again, I'll say it, is the best Linux experience you can get.
I'm fully confident in saying that because I've used all sorts of different distros, and I know how some of the maintainers of these distros think, right?
They're not really thinking about the everyday common person, and so there was a lot more work we had to do in order to get it there.
But we think it's here, and we think this is going to spark a big shift as people...
Think about all these other layers.
Next question for you.
This is all unplanned, and so I'm not being critical, but just thinking ahead.
What about full encryption of the boot partition, where it comes up and then you have to...
Because that's what I do on some of my systems.
I'm really glad you mentioned that.
Yeah, so we used to do that.
We used to do that on the first batch, and what we found was it was a nightmare.
Because you could not realistically count on people to remember it.
Their password?
Their encryption password.
Because it was two passwords.
That was too much.
And you know what?
I actually feel for them.
Because it's kind of hard to see in that first window.
So we decided on a different strategy.
Yes, you have safe data you need to protect.
So we came up with a solution called the Above Drive.
Which is encrypted.
It's an encrypted drive.
Oh, cool.
And so you would put your data on this and delete it from your computer, and it would always be in this drive.
When you plug it in, it'll prompt you to unlock it.
Wait a minute.
This is a physical device?
This is a physical device.
We're working on it.
I don't have it ready to show you today, but you can actually, when you go to the product page, you can pick it out on checkout.
Okay, so this device, it mounts like a USB storage, right?
That's right.
And then does something, like it auto-launches a program, pops up and asks you to enter the decryption password?
That's exactly right.
It's a fully encrypted disk.
And the first time you connect it, you get to pick the password.
See, that's really cool.
Okay, so let me ask you this, because I've recommended in the past, there's a company called Apricorn.
You familiar with them?
I'm not.
So Apricorn has, like, you know, portable USB drives, but they have a keypad on the drive.
That's cool.
Yeah, but they're very expensive because of that.
I forgot what all the certifications are, but military-grade encryption.
So you plug it in, and then you have to enter your digits, up to 12 digits.
And then it decrypts at the hardware level, and then it mounts to your computer.
And if you forget your password, it's done.
You're never going to get your data, right?
But yours is doing that, but in software logic.
It's stored encrypted on the device, but the software decrypts it.
When you enter your password.
Yes.
So, I mean, there is...
The encryption key is...
The encryption key to the disk is saved on the device, and you need your password to unlock it and actually unlock the device.
That makes sense.
So, yeah.
It's still a very...
It's like the gold standard of encryption.
Lux encryption.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On Linux machines, this is how they do the full disk encryption.
And again, I don't think many people actually need, I think people think they need it, but in reality, most of us aren't doing anything that sensitive.
Now, if you're doing like crazy things, you know, sure, you can, or if there's data that you want to keep safe, you would put it on this drive.
And yeah, it would be impossible to break into.
Well, my avocado contacts, for example.
I don't want anybody to get their hands on my network of avocado traffickers.
That's fair enough.
I forgot about your organic lemonade stand.
Yes, that also sounds...
Lemonade and avocados.
See?
That's half of guacamole right there.
No, but here's the thing.
You can be completely innocent these days.
They raided Roger Stone...
He didn't do anything wrong.
Roger Stone or Veer?
Stone.
I'm talking about Roger Stone.
No, I interviewed Roger.
They raided his house and CNN happened to be there at 3 in the morning.
Just happened to be at his house to make sure they could get it on film.
Did he go through his computers and stuff?
I don't know, but I imagine they probably did.
That's the thing.
You can be completely innocent.
Or you could have sensitive business information if somebody steals your laptop.
That could give them access to your banking or something.
It wasn't fair of me to say no one would need this because there's plenty of things you want to put in there.
There's plenty of things.
Normally, on a Linux machine, it's a lot more difficult to set up the encryption and whatnot, so this drive is going to make it super easy.
What capacities are available for that drive?
We've only planned for one terabyte.
Do you think we should do more?
I do.
Yeah, I do.
But I'd like to try that device and give you some feedback because, for example...
Even like I said, I have one of my data center units here because we have extra power.
And so when I finish processing books and I want to load the finished AI process books and just take it somewhere else, Why wouldn't I want that to be protected in transit in case somebody breaks into my truck and steals my stuff?
Right.
I think it's important to mention that the software we wrote to make it easier only lives on the above book.
But if you have a Linux machine, you can go in and decift it yourself.
Oh, so I can't plug it into a Windows system?
No.
Okay.
It's literally only meant to be used with the book.
I see.
It's compatible with Linux, you know.
So that's a very important point.
Also wanted to mention another thing is that these laptops that you're getting, these are pre-orders, right?
We're shipping out our first batch in a week or so.
We're going to need about two more weeks after that to get this next batch out.
So I want to set expectations.
Okay.
You can see it's pretty much there.
We're just doing like the nice, finishing, beautiful touches.
Logos, animations, support material.
And we have to load up the new language model onto it.
That's right.
Plenty of stuff.
I'll send you a link.
It's a big download.
This download has been coming to me.
I feel like we will have offline AI assistance because this is grammatically correct.
What does it take to read us this so I don't have to read it?
Right.
Well I mean I've got my team working on some really cool things.
One of them is a I don't even know if I should say this publicly, but whatever.
It's a multi-book summarizer.
So what I do is...
The key code is written in Python.
So I just load up a Python script and I give it like three books that are just like the paths in the three book files.
And these are books that have been pre-processed for normalization and clarity and so on.
And then I say, I want you to summarize these three books for me in, you know, like 10% of the book size.
And it goes through paragraph by paragraph and finds similar paragraphs, summarize concepts, and puts it in and then shortens that, summarizes the summarizer, you know.
And then it spits out like 10%.
So it's as if I'm getting all the information from three books.
Yeah, in one book.
In 10% of one book.
You've made an ultimate e-book producer.
That's true.
But if you think about ingesting a lot of information today, that's a bottleneck for a lot of us because our time is so limited.
So what if I want to say to the computer, hey, summarize all the important financial news in the last 24 hours.
That would be an AI project, very similar to what we're writing.
Or, summarize the concepts in all the most recent books that have been released on the topic of, let's say, Russia or Ukraine or whatever.
And the AI system would go out and do that and bring you back the results to save you time.
That is cutting-edge intelligence.
And it's within reach right now.
We can do that.
That's pretty exciting.
Maybe we could even have something like that on the book.
Bet we can.
Because the news cycle is just too crazy, dude.
No one can keep up with it.
Absolutely.
Well, I'll show you some stuff off-camera that we've been working on that is really close to being production-ready.
You'll never hear it.
You'll never get the guacamole recipe.
I'm super excited for that, man.
Thank you.
Thank you for building it.
And I can hook you up with our guac dealer in the parking lot.
You brought your chips.
You brought your chips.
Good.
I was actually hoping to buy some of Health Ranger chips.
We have a bunch of Health Ranger products for you here, by the way.
We're going to load you up, man, before you hit the road.
Why don't you eat breakfast?
Yeah.
No, we've got all kinds of stuff for you.
Okay, so is there anything that we've left out?
I think just around the bases again.
So you get the education aspect.
There's video courses and guides for everything that you want to do with the book.
You can see how much work we've put in to integrate the phone and the book.
So this is a solution that's meant to be with each other.
You're getting that free hour call and free 45-minute call with a real person so you can adapt it to your needs.
And, yeah, you know, if you personally are in need of a new computer, as a lot of people are, I would just say this is, you know, a public service announcement.
Don't use the new PCs that they're trying to sell you that are equipped with AI. One, they can hardly run the software that you're used to.
And two, they're spying on everything you're doing.
They're spying on you, yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, maybe it's time to make a jump.
And maybe if you're not ready for a phone or a laptop, you know someone who does.
And we would really appreciate you spreading it out there.
Because, you know, with these devices, we are taking the proceeds from these devices and we are supporting open source software.
All the different organizations that make this software possible.
We're trying to give the money back to them so we can have this self-sustaining ecosystem.
Yeah.
Very cool.
We are big supporters of the open source community.
We'd like to get more people into the Linux world, but it's got to be made friendly, like what your engineers have done.
Seems really amazing.
Thank you.
And right back at you for the AI. That was really cool.
That was really special what we did.
You know, we also have a self-executable, an EXE that's a little bit under 4 gigs for that language model that will self-execute under Linux.
Yeah.
It's like a chat that just goes directly into the chat prompt?
It uses your browser as the interface.
But it launches a browser window, and then the engine, it's based on a code base called LlamaFile.
LlamaFile uses this really unusual executable architecture that has, believe it or not, language libraries that will execute on Mac, Windows, and Linux in all the same EXE, which people always tell me, that's not possible.
Like, oh, but it is.
That's what's special about it.
Nice.
So you can just drop that on one of these machines or on a USB stick.
Yeah.
So that's another way where you don't even have to install LM Studio.
Sweet.
And I'm curious, what are people saying about Brightian AI? Maybe this is going to be a good way to get them talking about it and using it.
I was going to ask you, do you want to create a group around Brightian AI? I mean, the feedback so far is people are just blown away with it and they're It's even hard to think about what are all the different uses.
There's so many different ways to use this tag.
Like I say, correcting your grammar.
I know somebody who just uses it because for them, English was their second language.
And so in all their business communications, the grammar was never quite right.
And so now they just use it to correct all their grammar.
And all of a sudden, everything is perfect.
It's still their message, but It doesn't look like a foreigner wrote it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I mean, there's that, but there's so many uses.
But wait until it's AI agents that are open source, that are local, that you control, that are not run by Microsoft.
Where eventually, you know what we should do one day?
This is going to take some effort, but we can do a speech recognition, like a voice to text, and then the text goes into the AI, and then the answer goes from text to speech.
So we can talk to it, and it can talk back to us.
And that's all doable with today's tech.
But imagine being able to say to your computer, Just to give it tasks, as if it's someone working for you in your office.
Like, hey, please email these three suppliers and check with them.
Can I get a discount if we buy more than 100,000 tons of avocados or whatever?
And then it will do that for you, and it will bring you back the results.
And you didn't have to write code to do it.
We're not far away from that.
No, we're not.
Very, very close.
Yeah.
If someone wanted to sit down and build it, they could.
It was kind of funny.
I was having this experience while traveling recently with the RSS feeds.
Like, hey, give me a brief on all of the topics in computer hardware.
And then getting to the final layer of controlling your computer and phone.
That's exciting because I am really lazy.
Well, but our time is so limited, we want to be able to amplify our efforts using tech, like leveraging tech to work for us, instead of us being enslaved by the tech.
We harness technology to make our lives better.
Here's another example.
You know, drone technology is really advancing quite rapidly.
And there are drones right now that have really high-end thermal cameras and night vision cameras.
And so one of the things that you would do, and I know a lot of first responders and people that work for the state and find missing persons or track people in the wilderness and find them, or military people that operate on the border tracking people.
Guacamole.
Yeah, drinking guacamole trafficking or whatever.
But imagine if you're living in a rural area, okay, and you have a drone, and a lot of drones now land on their own charging stations, okay, and then your drone is connected to your above book here, and you have a voice recognition And what you do is you say, hey, run a patrol flight around the perimeter of the property and bring me back any images of anything that lights up on the thermal cameras as possibly being either a person or a wild animal.
Go, right?
You just say go.
Drone takes off, flies a perimeter, takes the images, boom, syncs them to your notebook, brings it back to you, and you're like, oh, there's three wild hogs, two deer, and one stalker.
You know what I mean?
I got goosebumps when you said that because, you know...
It's so powerful.
It really is so powerful.
And militaries would like to use this against each other.
It's like, no.
Why don't we use it for ourselves?
Why don't we harness it for ourselves?
And we're kind of at a race right now.
We're in a big race.
True.
And hey, we're making lots of progress.
Yeah, but I like how you said it's a race because I think governments want to weaponize all this tech to enslave us.
But then we in the open source community, like the pro-Julian Assange people, yay for his freedom.
Yes, I'm glad he's on the way home.
Oh man, that's epic.
But we want to use this technology to defend and enhance human freedom.
And to decentralize power out of the hands of the corrupt regime systems and put power back into the hands of the people like us.
Because we are the kind of people that actually built civilization.
I mean, our ancestors before us, but in the same theme.
You know, the innovators, the entrepreneurs, the builders, people who aren't afraid to work.
And there's lots of people like us.
And we're all being, you know, like enslaved by this Skynet system.
Yeah.
And we're just waiting for more people to share the stage, right?
I think that's the next part of it, because the bar is so low, whether food, whether education, everything.
So we're just waiting for leaders to rise up.
Yeah.
We're giving them tools.
Exactly.
And we have to take it piece by piece.
You know, we started with the phone.
You guys started with this amazing large language model.
Where is it going to go from here?
Oh, who knows?
That's why you should take the jump, right?
Yeah.
Dip your foot in the water.
That's right.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the next few years are going to look like, but I'm going to be working my hardest to build...
Communities that are completely self-contained.
Heal the soul.
Heal the technology.
Totally.
We're almost done.
Last task is you get to scramble this and then I get to do a cube solve and see if I can do a decent cube solve today.
Let's do it.
I've been doing speedcubing for about a year.
I don't even call it speedcubing.
It's cubing.
Mike's gotten so fast, it's just cubing now.
It's not impressive compared to what these young kids can do.
But I've got some pretty good solves and algorithms in place.
So folks, while we're waiting for the scramble, remember, it's abovephone.com slash brighteon.
And that's where you can get all the deals and everything.
And here's my...
By the way, I have avocados in today's smoothie.
This is my avocado smoothie right here.
So...
Oh, here we go.
Did AI give you that recipe?
No, this is my own long time.
This is before AI. Looks good, man.
Alright.
It was totally old school avocado smoothie time.
I think I've sufficiently scrambled this.
Okay.
Alright, so here's what we've got to do.
So you've got to tell us a story while I solve it, and we'll see who finishes first.
Okay, let me...
What kind of little story do you have to share with us?
I am going to share the time the Greater Reset, our conference, almost got stopped by Chinese hackers.
Okay, okay.
Are you ready to begin?
I have the right to look at the cube first.
Okay.
Okay.
You ready to begin?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
Three, two...
Oh, and wait, guys, you've got to show it.
People will think we...
Yeah, here we go.
Okay.
There's a cube.
Fully mixed up.
Ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Three, two, one, go.
So, the Greater Reset in 2022, the two nights before, we noticed our website was taken offline because so many people were visiting it, and when we looked further into it, the IP addresses were from China.
Well, how'd that happen?
Well, we think that our conference was especially powerful, and people didn't want it to happen, even though it's free, solutions-focused, and we're doing our UK iteration of the conference this September 27th to the 29th.
Go to thegreaterreset.org to check it out.
But unfortunately...
I screwed this up.
I'm sorry.
There we go.
I did it on purpose, so I have more time to promote my stuff.
No, that's my fault.
All right.
Okay.
And so, unfortunately, at the time, I was the only dude who could fix the website.
So, like, it was the night before the conference, and I'm sweating my ass off.
Like, I'm, like, literally in a bed in Mexico trying to fix the website.
And, yeah, like, you know, 100,000 people are ready to watch the live stream the next day.
Oh, nice.
Sorry.
You got it?
Yeah, I messed it up a couple times, but I got it.
Very nice.
So, how far did you get in your story?
Yeah, I had a little bit longer to do it.
You beat me.
I should have done better, but I screwed it up a couple times.
That's okay, man.
I was trying to listen to your story and solve the queue.
But anyway, thanks for playing along.
You were super fast.
No, I'm getting there.
I was kind of scared when you pulled it out because I thought you'd be like one of those kids.
I wish.
Like 10 seconds?
No.
I'm happy to do it in less than a minute.
Boom.
Well, it's great, man.
And, yeah, I appreciate you having me on.
O likes you, too, here.
Hey, buddy.
I call him O, but it's Rhodey.
Good boy, Rhodey.
You having fun?
You having fun?
You like our guest today?
Yeah.
Good boy.
That's right.
Good boy.
Go get your toys.
Go get them.
He's ready.
Get your toys.
He's like, enough with this, enough with the AI demos.
Bring it back.
Come on.
Where's the toy?
Bring it back.
Come on up.
There's a toy.
Oh, holy cow.
Oh, my gosh.
He's feisty today.
Oh, destruction mode.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh, gosh.
No, no, no.
Don't mess with his toys.
He's okay.
He's okay.
Okay, good boy.
Good boy.
All right.
Come on.
Good boy.
Okay.
Woo.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's good.
Everything's good.
I told him earlier, yeah, just don't scratch the laptop.
You know, so security dogs and cables do not intermix very well.
I've noticed, like, you can get tangled up in cables and it's over.
We're lucky you didn't kill the feet.
Like it in what?
Kill the feed.
Oh, no.
I think feed's all still good.
All right.
So, Hakim, that's a wrap for today, I guess.
Thanks for coming in.
Thanks for showing us everything.
Yeah.
Always have fun.
Yeah, man.
Let's keep building solutions and see what we'll have for people next few months.
Let's do that.
And don't go anywhere because I want to show you some AI stuff.
Let's do it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, folks, thanks for watching today.
Hope you don't mind us playing around and having some fun because, you know, life is too short to be boring.
The website is abovephone.com slash brighteon.
And check it out.
Thank you for your support and take advantage of the sale right now.
You'll save some money off of it.
Two weeks.
Yeah, before July 11th.
So just get it before July 11th and you'll save.
And thanks for watching today on Mike Adams, brighteon.com.
Alright, here's what we have new and exciting at HealthRangerStore.com and thank you for your support.
We have new, completely reformulated stick packs of these drink mixes that are really amazing.
Show what's on my desk here.
So, the first one is the Ginger Plus Elderberry Immune Support Drink Mix.
These can be dissolved in water or other drinks.
They have a good dissolving capability, by the way.
And the ingredients are really clean and simple.
Now, these are not certified organic, but they are laboratory tested in our lab.
And I want to show you, you know, we do heavy metals testing and we do glyphosate testing and so on.
But look at the simple ingredients here.
Elderberry concentrate powder, elderberry juice flavoring powder, inulin, that's a natural prebiotic fiber, instant ginger concentrate powder, vitamin C that's non-GMO, and then stevia, and that's it.
Okay, it's super simple and it's real, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no garbage in here, no filler, just the simple ingredients that I mentioned there with an excellent taste that's tart, you know, it's got a nice berry flavor.
And it's got the non-GMO vitamin C and it's only sweetened with a little bit of stevia.
So I think you'll enjoy that.
We also have a tart cherry probiotics drink mix that you can see there on the top of your screen.
And we have a collagen joint support with marine collagen.
Not bovine collagen.
So that's available right now as well.
And then here's something really exciting.
We now have for the first time natokinase.
This is an enzyme that's very potent.
A lot of people have been learning about this in the post-COVID era of good health and good cardiovascular support and all of that.
So check out natokinase.com.
Which is an enzyme that's actually derived from fermented soy.
But it's fermented, so it actually synthesizes new natural molecules and enzymes.
That's how you get natokinase.
We have that available right now at healthrangerstore.com.
And then finally, we have these certified organic, organic freeze-dried cranberries in number 10 cans.
We have many other fruits and vegetables also that are certified organic, laboratory-tested, long-term storage in this format.
You can find all of these, including our long-term storable food, Ranger Buckets, Mini Buckets, and Mega Buckets at HealthRangerStore.com.
We thank you for your support.
Oh, don't forget about lion's mane.
Yeah, this is relatively new.
A few weeks that we've had it in the store.
Lion's mane mushroom capsules.
Organic lion's mane mushroom powder.
This is my favorite functional mushroom.
This is what I took after nearly severing my finger.
And I use lion's mane as part of my...
You know, protocol to regrow nerves and tissues and blood vessels and get back the functioning of my own index finger.
So that was my introduction to the power of lion's mane.
But it can help support your immune function.
It's got a lot of other benefits supporting normal neurological function and so on.
So check it out at healthrangerstore.com.
So thank you for your support at HealthRangerStore.com.
We need your support in order to continue to build the infrastructure of human freedom.
And not only are we working to provide you with healthy, nutritious, clean foods, but also, of course, we have Brighteon.io, which is an uncensorable, decentralized free speech platform, but we also have Brighteon.ai, and we're about to release a new language model that's trained on truth-based,
reality-based content, I just looked at our internal scoring of that model yesterday, and it scores 94 out of 100 in our testing, which asks it questions about medicine, health, history, politics, genders, reality, everything.
94 out of 100.
The base models from companies like Microsoft or Mistral or Meta, the base models score about 50 out of 100.
Our most recent model was scoring, I think, it was 79 out of 100.
And now we have a model that scores 94 out of 100.
So these models are all available to you for free.
Let me bring up the website, brighteon.ai.
You can go there.
You can download these models.
Just enter your email.
Click register.
You can download the language models free of charge and use them locally without charge.
And it's like just open source language models that we build for you and release to the world.
And it's a knowledge base because we've trained it on a tremendous amount of material on nutrition, natural health, gardening, survival skills, food production, off-grid medicine, off-grid living, and so much more.
And the way we build those is by investing in the infrastructure with the help of your support at healthrangerstore.com.
So enjoy all of our products.
Enjoy the health benefits and health support that they offer.
And feel good about knowing that you're helping to support us as we build the infrastructure for human freedom.
Thank you for watching.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com.
Take care.
