#244 - Replacing Big Tech & Rising Above w/ Hakeem Anwar

The predator class has worked diligently to normalize theft in every manner and form.  Taxation and endless fees & fines are just a few of the institutionalized techniques used to surreptitiously purloin the necessities of life from a domesticated population.  Perhaps the most egregious of these immoral practices is the eavesdropping encroachments through the ubiquitous cell phone that has become the fifth anatomical appendage in today's evolutionary cycle. On this episode Hakeem Anwar, a technologist, activist, educator, and entrepreneur joins us for an all-important episode to present protections against those who unconscionably violate your most precious commodity ... privacy in your personal affairs, relations and space. Anwar, who is leading a number of projects focused on the intersection of technology and personal freedom exited his corporate career as a software engineer to support activist movements - he found the true power of the internet is to bring people together under one cause. After facing mass censorship and cyberattacks, he realized that free thinkers need friendly technology and so he founded #TakeBackOurTech to teach others how to use empowering technology. "Step Above to friendly apps, operating systems, and communications that give you privacy and control. A phone that does everything you want and more." In 2021, he launched his first company Above Phone that develops private phones, computers, and communication services based on decentralized open-source technology. Today they have thousands of customers and is pioneering solutions to educate people on alternative communications, self-custody of data, and healthful use of technology. Our discussion will explore the deeper origins of the predacious few and the ramifications for those who willingly relinquish their birthright for peace and privacy.  As an appreciation for our freedom-minded audience, Anwar will detail a special exclusive offer and savings to the Alfa Vedic community.   Show links: https://abovephone.com/alfavedic/ https://takebackourtech.org Learn The True Nature Of Dis-Ease & How Our Bodies Actually Work: https://alfavedic.com/themyth/ Join Our Private Community And Join In The Discussion: https://alfavedic.com/join-us/ Follow our new YT channel: / @offgridelegance   Get our favorite blue blocker glasses! https://alfavedic.com/raoptics Learn how to express your law and uphold your rights as one of mankind. https://alfavedic.com/lawformankind Alfa Vedic is an off-grid agriculture & health co-op focused on developing products, media & educational platforms for the betterment of our world.
