171 - Conference, Kindle & Venice AI
🇪🇸 It is nice to have some quiet time again here on the island. V and I are back on our own again and we still have a few more weeks to enjoy peace and quiet here before moving on again.
During the week I met up with a friend and former colleague who was visiting the island for a while. We spent a great evening together reminiscing on many things and discussing on all sorts of topics including much of what I cover here in the newsletter. We have already scheduled our next meetup since our paths will cross again later in our travels this year.
One of the topics we discussed was these newsletters. You likely recall that I have been producing them since December of 2021 when I had a premonition that they needed to be created and shared due to then imminent changes coming in the world. Since then, every week I do still feel guided as to what to include and the content appears to me on schedule - usually I will write the newsletter on Sunday or Monday for sending out during Friday night (HK time). During the week I will update and refine each draft with late-breaking news and insights. If you find these beneficial I encourage you to share them with others who would benefit. You can always find back issues on the website and remember that you can search too and you may well enjoy a tour of my library.

Lots of recommended reading - check it out
During the week, V and I had a great day out doing something different. We had a relax morning in Palma, visiting V's favourite coffee shop and then heading off to Esporles by bus. Esporles is said to be one of Mallorca’s best-kept secrets, a wonderfully pretty place thanks to the well-preserved traditional blonde stone architecture and stunning setting in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. We had an enjoyable lunch there, walks along the tree-lined streets and a nice ride back into town.
It was nice to have time again for reading and listening to some rather interesting commentary. This week I'm sharing a couple of interesting weekend projects as well as introducing some great content creators for you to check out.
Book and Interview of the week
This week I have been reading Ricardo Salinas' recent book. Born in October 1955, he is a Mexican billionaire, founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas - a conglomerate with interests in telecommunications, media, financial services and retail. He is one of Mexico’s wealthiest individuals and both he and his family have a long tradition of recognising the value and need for Hard Money and pushing for people to have it - as he explains in this great interview - listen, learn and enjoy.
After that you can get your own copy of the book - see the contents below and you can click to read a sample of the book. Remember that Bitcoin is hard money and you can have it if you want - you do not need to (and should not) wait for any government to give it to you!
For any who are still unsure about the true nature of government - read Anatomy of the State - it's a short 60 minute read and freely available as audiobook.

🛠️ Project Updates
A couple of project updates this week. Firstly another private AI that you may want to look into and consider - in addition to NanoGPT as we discussed a few weeks ago. Next, Evil Amazon kicked the hornet's nest and they are getting some of what they deserve - this is a nice easy weekend project and it gives you additional features on your Kindle (and Kobo). I conclude with some insights from the Las Vegas Bitcoin conference. What are you doing?
Venice.AI
A few weeks ago I introduced you to NanoGPT. This is a fascinating tool, giving you access to all of the current and latest AI models completely privately and anonymously without the need to create an account - all data is stored only in your browser.
Well Venice.AI is competition (that's good) and you may want to look into this too. To get you started, listen to this excellent interview of Erik Voorhees (the founder/creator) by Gabriel. More interesting is that Venice.AI offers a completely uncensored AI that you will not get elsewhere, one that does not implement the Nanny State "Guardrails".
After that you can click below and give it a try yourself. You are able freely to use it for a limited number of questions daily.

People do certainly prefer privacy
Last month I shared the payment volume/distribution for NanoGPT and predicted that Monero would soon top the list given its superior privacy nature. Well it did not take long for that to happen - it is already there. This does give a clear message on the need for privacy and that, when available, people prefer it. We are all beyond fed up with the Big Tech Advertising, Subscription and Account model and it is great to have alternatives like this.
When you kick the hornets' nest...
I have told you many times how much I (and countless others) hate Amazon for the restrictions they impose on the Kindle and books that you "buy" from them. This culminated in February with the removal of the ability to download and keep your own backup copy of books that you had paid for.
Well there is now a tremendous backlash and I welcome that. You too may want to join in. You can "jailbreak" your kindle (it's simple to do, and reversible) and this enables you to read any format of book on it and it also recovers the ability to make backup copies of your books.
With more than 2 million views in the last month, this explainer by Jeff tells you all you need to know. It is a simple weekend project.
In case you had forgotten: Companies to hate, avoid and boycott
Wrapping up the conference
You may or may not have known that the Bitcoin Conference was held recently in Las Vegas. With more than 30,000 people attending this was the largest ever and it certainly demonstrates significant change in the air. Feedback is varied and rather interesting - here are two perspectives from Techlead and Marty.
Marty Bent
Marty's take is also interesting - he is well embedded - click to read
Drinking the milkshake - does not get what you think
This is a great presentation from the conference. Saifedean is an Economics Professor and it is rather interesting to see what happens when you look at the numbers rather than the emotional narratives of the Mainstream Propaganda.
If you wonder about the milkshake, see here. He comes to a rather interesting conclusion as well - WDYT?
🔗 Links for your edification
The following are links from my NetNewswire feeds - learn, enjoy and share.
The Macro Situation
Yes - Simon is somewhat verbose in his explanations and he is not the world's best presenter but considering that he is likely right in what he says, you probably do want to listen to his recent insights. He starts here with a summary of key points.
If some of what Simon says seems far-fetched, listen to Mario who also sees how things work. Mario is based in the UK and is a former international banker - he does know that of which he speaks. The books that he cites are available for you to read here and here - don't say that nobody told you.
BTW - The conference that you never heard about in Western Media is here - you will see why they are keen to bury it. ICYMI, Sean explains the consequences here.
Think BRICS
The global conference you never heard about - why would the Western media bury this? Cyrus' take is here - pretty much in line with Simon's view (you can skip his ad at the end)
Related to the above you will likely enjoy Guy's latest analysis of the recent BIS report on Defying Gravity!.
Unveiling continues
Every year around this time there is a flurry of information around the events of 4 June 1989 in Beijing. Nury shares results of his recent investigation and he may well be right - it does seem to make sense given all that we now know about USAID and similar organisations.
What I can say is that I lived in HK during "The Protests" in 2014 and 2019 and I did indeed witness the facilitation and escalation of protest events by "agents provocateurs" in addition to other strange things that make sense with this explanation. I also recall that the same agents were spotted months later doing similar actions in Bangkok to stir up protests there.
Lastly, as one who lived in Northern Ireland during the time of "The Troubles" - with hindsight so much of what happened there was similarly orchestrated. If you need further independent corroboration that the Empire Military is behind these false flag events - see here.
You need to be aware of this so that you do not get tricked or drawn into situations like this going forward. Be in no doubt that the same techniques are being used today and they will be likely used (in the form of False Flag events) in the coming months in major cities - this is the time of "The Second Horseman" - the First Horseman brought everything around Covid.
Do not give up or fall into the trap of nihilism - I encourage you to check out the closing thoughts below - especially this one - you already have everything you need.
🤔 Closing Thoughts
This week I am closing out with content from two real content creators. These are people who have a long track record of doing and sharing quality research. I suggest that you give them a watch and you may well want to support them in their work.
How strange - in Spain...
Recently Mind Unveiled did a research trip in Spain and his insights from this trip will really make you think. Yet more evidence that history is likely not what you were told.
Mainstream History
00:02:41 - Pre-Roman, 00:05:28 - Roman Era, 00:06:03 - Visigothic Kingdom
00:08:07 - Islamic Conquest, 00:10:08 - Al-Andalus, 00:11:59 - Reconquista
00:14:10 - Spanish Empire, 00:16:19 - Bourbon Control
Lost Ancient History
00:20:38 - Tartessos, 00:22:35 - Baque, 00:27:02 - Basque Language
00:29:05 - Celtic Spain, 00:37:08 - Pillars of Hercules
Questioning the Narrative
00:42:00 - Visigoths, 00:45:17 - Moorish Conquest
00:53:23 - Tartaria & Missing Time, 01:20:51 - Out of Place Architecture
After all that, I encourage you to go on to watch Part 2 where he explores the Mosque Cathedral in Cordoba - you will be surprised.
Metempsychosis and the interconnection of all things
Another great creator is Agrippas Diary - he delivers high quality and well-researched topics in accessible and understandable format. You can (and should) check below his videos where he cites all his sources. Recall that I have showed you how you can access such things via Anna's Archive.
Metempsychosis is the ancient doctrine that the soul is immortal and migrates through various forms across lifetimes, human, animal, even plant, guided by its nature, deeds and desires. Unlike simple reincarnation and Samsara, which suggest a linear return in similar forms, metempsychosis reveals a grander sacred spiral in which consciousness traverses species and realms as part of an eternal journey of transformation.

15:25 The suppression of Metempsychosis and the loss of our Divine Birthright
24:13 Metempsychosis in Theosophy, Psychology, and Science
31:01 How does awareness of this knowledge affect us?
Feeling that splinter in your mind you might want to read Ian Stevenson's book - Children who remember previous lives - we discussed this in Newsletter #141. In that book, you will find dozens of well-documented and independently verified cases that mainstream cannot deny so they choose to ignore and suppress.
