there's a better way to do this let me show you a better. It is Wednesday, October the 22nd. This is episode 3751 of the survival podcast. And I've got a banger for you today. We're kind of doing a two-parter in one episode. We're going to talk about two things today. The rise of global digital ID and the real threat that it represents.

We're also going to be talking about surveillance in the school systems.

And we'll be doing that with our special guest, Hakeem Anwar, who is the founder of above agency,

manufacturers of the above phone, the above tablet, and the above book.

Great tools for your privacy and many other things they provide, like information about the type of things we're going to talk about today and things that you can do both with their products and for yourself to protect your privacy and your identity.

Whenever Above Phone is a sponsor of the day, I always point out that the world we live in, like the people that make your software, your applications on your devices, they're spying on you.

Your ISP spies on you.

The device maker itself spies on you.

Literally everybody that touches anything spies on you.

And the people that don't directly spy on you, if they want your data, they just buy it from one of the people to do, including the United States government, which most of the people will just give the government the data because that makes the government leave them alone so that they can do what they're doing. And it's way worse than that. Akeem is on today to tell us all about that and what we can do in response to it.

Before we get into it, let's go ahead and hear from our sponsors of the day to day,

which we will begin with J.M. Bullion.

I am a huge Bitcoin Bull.

It is where I put the vast majority of anything that I would call surplus capital that I'm wanting to grow for more than a couple years.

However, I still stack silver and gold.

And if I need to add to my stack, I still go to Jambullion because they've been sponsoring this show since 2012.

That's forever in the world of podcasting.

They give a discount on purchases to MSB members.

They ship all orders free and they have better pricing than the big silver houses like Lear Capital and Monax and Appmex.

And I can also talk to the president of the company anytime I want if there's any kind of a problem,

though I haven't had to do it for that reason in a very, very, very long time.

But the fact that I can is really important to me and taking care of my audience. You should be stacking silver and gold. Have you paid attention to what's been happening to the price lately? There is a reason. And I think we're in an irreversible trend at this point, at least long term. Next up today, it isn't gold, but sometimes it sure tastes like it's gold.
