He became an activist during the pandemic so that he could challenge the rollout of surveillance technology. In this conversation, Hakeem and Jerm unpack the global push for digital identity systems.  They discuss how such systems link to agendas like 2030. They also stress a vital need for privacy amid dangers of mishandled biometrics and observe the private sector's heavy hand in building a control grid that erodes personal freedom. Hakeem pushes for grass-root resistance through strong local networks and alternative economies. He also encourages hands-on tools like de-Googled phones and Linux laptops while he urges folks to dig into the roots of the systems that are pushed on us to enable smarter push-back.

Dana shares his incredible journey, from being a godfather of China's hip-hop scene to his deep, firsthand perspective on life in China.We tackle the complex and often misunderstood topic of racism in China, contrasting it with the systemic racism in the United States. Dana provides a nuanced view of discrimination, ignorance, and the weaponization of "racism" as a geopolitical tool. Plus, we take a visual tour of modern Shanghai, exploring its vibrant nightlife and the deep, colonial history hidden in its streets, including the fascinating connection to Bruce Lee's family.(0:00) Introduction: Meet Dana "Showtime," Hip-Hop Pioneer in China(3:41) The Reality of Being a Black Man in China for 26 Years(7:58) The "Racism in China" Question: A Nuanced and Politicized Discussion(18:23) Comparing Racism: Malice in the U.S. vs. Ignorance in China(25:57) How the U.S. Government Weaponizes the "Racist China" Narrative(33:10) A Visual Tour of Shanghai: Nightlife, History, and Hidden Courtyards(39:44) The Bruce Lee Connection: The Opium War Origins of His Family Fortune(55:46) Carl's Story: Experiencing Racism in a White Chicago Neighborhood vs. a Black High School(1:01:28) The Role of Black Americans in U.S.-China Relations(1:03:45) Final Advice: Why You Need to Visit China and See for YourselfKey Takeaways:Living in China as a Black American: Dana describes his 26-year experience as "the greatest life choice," filled with progress, inspiration, and a sense of political empowerment he never felt in the U.S.Racism vs. Discrimination: Dana argues that while discrimination and microaggressions exist in China, they stem more from curiosity and ignorance, lacking the historical malice and systemic violence found in American racism.A Weaponized Narrative: The conversation highlights how the charge of racism is deliberately used as a form of "asymmetric warfare" by the U.S. to smear China and undermine its global standing.A Different Reality: Both Carl and Dana share personal stories illustrating that their experiences with aggression and racism in the U.S. came from white communities, not the Black communities often stereotyped as dangerous.See for Yourself: The ultimate advice for anyone, especially Black Americans, is to visit China with an open mind, free from Western projections, to understand the country on its own terms.#LifeInChina #BlackInChina #Shanghai #HipHopInChina #USChinaRelations #Racism #TravelChina #CulturalExchange #BruceLee

GNM posits that nature responds to unexpected challenges through Significant Biological Special Programmes (SBS) triggered by Dirk HamerSyndrome (DHS), an acute conflict shock which synchronously affects the psyche, brain, and corresponding organs.SBS programmes adapt biological capacity by either augmenting cells (tumour growth) in old-brain controlled organs, or causing tissue loss in new-brain controlled organs during the Conflict Active Phase. The aim is to enhance survival and resolve distress. For instance, in cases that involve reproductive organs like the testicles, a profound loss conflict might initially lead to tissue necrosis, followed by cell proliferation in the healing phase. This restores, and potentially enhances, capability. It can address issues such as infertility, as exemplified from Dr Hamer's own experiences.The framework suggests cancer is not a random malignancy. It is a purposeful and temporary condition within a two-phase biological process where capacity reverts to normal upon conflict resolution. This highlights how environmental interplay shapes health outcomes and turns challenges into opportunities for growth.Danny’s website: https://danny-carroll.com

He says it has been hijacked by those who push propaganda and woke nonsense, which stifles real expression. Simon reflects on art's historical impact in society, which is now gutted by big-money interests that have turned it into a tool for elite control. He argues that its effective death has wiped out cultural identity and critical thought. This leaves artists as mere state mouthpieces who spout ideology rather than express genuine human creativity. Simon and Jerm highlight how the decline in art mirrors the erosion of community bonds. Interpersonal relations are dumbed down to performative spectacles which dodge real engagement. Cultural nationalism is deliberately scrubbed in the UK and elsewhere. Simon underscores that true art thrives on interdependence within society rather than in corporate or ideological chains. Simon’s X profile: https://x.com/SimonElmer2022

Its purpose is simple yet vital: to create a united national body dedicated to researching, supporting, and defending our local and national communities.Sandi Adams spoke with Cassie, who has led this initiative since its inception. She explains that Residents Associations are among the most effective tools available to local people — especially when councils fail to represent the interests of their constituents.Through organised, lawful action, residents can collectively oppose harmful planning applications such as solar and wind farms, data centres, battery storage facilities, and 5G towers —developments that are increasingly being shown to damage both the environment and the fabric of our communities.The NRA empowers communities by providing structure, information, and strength in numbers. It protects the individual campaigner by turning solitary effort into a shared movement. The Association’s vision is to restore hope, trust, and accountability — core values that are essential to public confidence in local governance.The NRA’s manifesto is to:Inform communities across the UK where active Residents Associations exist,Educate the public on issues that may not be fully or widely understood, andEquip individuals with the knowledge and tools to hold councils and decision-makers to account.A central part of the Association’s mission is to scrutinise how public money is spent — to ask the hard questions about funding, priorities, and the real impact of those decisions on local services. This ensures that laws are upheld, transparency is maintained, and public confidence is strengthened.True equality, the NRA believes, can only be achieved when every local resident is fully informed about the changes that may affect their livelihoods and environment.Ultimately, the NRA exists to bridge the gap between local people and national policy — to reconnect living men and women with the democratic processes that shape their daily lives, and to ensure that power remains where it belongs: with the people.The NRA can be found on Telegram and on its website, where it has a separate section about Smart Cities.

Hair is viewed as more than a way to stay warm — it is like an antenna which connects us to our surroundings.
They touch on how circumcision may affect hair growth and overall health as well as how men's hair loss often stems from exposure to chemicals and hair products. Beards get a nod as symbols of strength and masculinity. The discussion highlights how social engineering shapes our ideas of beauty and well-being, often steering us away from natural vibes.
Robin stresses that diet, environment, and stress play big roles for healthy hair. She points out that to maintain homeostasis is key to the body's balance and vitality. She advocates for natural hair care to preserve hair's strength. Robin urges everyone to tune into their body's signals rather than to let modern habits disrupt innate connection to health and the world around us.
