The private platforms that have monopolized the whole of internet have us trapped in their system. There are no options to resist, and there is no regulation in sight. All the while, we are being watched by the all-encompassing surveillance grid, owned and operated by the same technocratic elite. That’s right, we just used the term “elite.” It’s one of the buzzwords that they have worked hard to define for themselves, obviously directing all attention away from themselves in doing so. Go to hell, you elite scum bags.

Transcript of this episode, as transcribed by YouTube.
You are listening to the age of transitions. I’m your host Aaron Fron coming at you live this Friday night, August 21st, 2026. Live every Friday night from the facilities of ochelli.com 1000 pm to midnight Eastern time first hour age of transitions second hour uncle the podcast thank you for listening do consider giving a donation to chuck overtochelli.com to keep the network going to help him out my website is the ageofransitions.com that’s where you can go to find this show lots of ways to listen to the podcast and also support Uh, one of the main ways is buying my book, Revolve Man, Scientific Rise to Godhood Pod. Um, paperback and ebook copies are both available of that book. Also have the Patreon campaign over at the age of transitions.com. A couple other uh ways to support. So, thank you everybody for that. Um, I need to do some new posts to Patreon. There’s a lot of I I want to just continue with the uh looking for truth in all the wrong places. That’s the project. That’s what I want to focus on and I will return to that when I keep doing Patreon material. I will do that. And um I’ve thought about posting some similar stuff on the regular show. And I mean I talk about the same topics on this show because it is so important. And what is it that I’m only generally hinting at? What is looking for truth in all the wrong places? It’s the remnants of the former truth movement online are still evident are still out there over time. What was the truth movement? But what what is conspiracy culture broadly speaking and looking at the when you look at it as broad as you can. I think sometimes that’s the best way to do it because you’re looking at so much and it’s um as with all online things today all online content is aggregated via algorithms to your specific niche interests uh and and what you want to see. So the algorithm serves up to you if you’re interested in conspiracy topics. You won’t even necessarily today be fed um the broadest wide spectrum where just everything’s hitting you all at once. It will narrow down some sort of special interest you have and hit you especially hard with that. Not to say that you won’t get the other stuff too, but that’s really what’s happening now. You there, Chuck? What’s that? Yeah, I am. I am actually because I have a question for you. And uh look, it it is very relevant. Um given the fact that we are now inundated with the AIS and the guidance of AI and searches and everything else, it is a whole different world now, right? Because and and this is funny because uh people that were part of the alternative media talked about the internet ghetto a long time ago which is where you would end up and people would generally try to ignore you and you would be ignored for the most part for every reason and that’s why neglected you know neighborhoods in reality that we wind up calling ghettos um you know fall into disrepair and this literally happened to the conspiracy culture online. The infrastructure fell as it does. Even the virtual in infrastructure that we thought we could rely on and everybody was happy about. I mean, we had broadcast radio stations of all sorts across the internet that actually reached out into the real world and everything else. Do you think, this is my overall question now that I’ve given context, do you think this is by intentional design, okay, that this has been done to relegate truly open-minded thinkers and people that could actually start trouble to the internet ghetto, so to speak, or is it merely the natural progression of the technology? because you know everything up in the cloud now physicality gone the digital book burning I mean look that ship has sailed as far as I’m concerned um people rebel in how expansive and easy it is for them to participate in it now oh I could just go get a Substack oh I can just go start a podcast yes yes but in truth are the ideas not filtered and sanitized now by the AIS so I guess What I’m asking is, did we lose that battle entirely and without even a peep from the people that were really fighting it, it all went away or is this just the natural order of things? Do you understand my question? I know I went around around a bit. Uh, I think so. And I mean, well, go ahead. Speak on it because I’d love to hear you speak on this. This is why I interrupt every once in a while, guys. I’m sorry I shouldn’t. But every now and then I hear Aaron working some through something verbally out loud and I say to myself, I have a big question for his thought process and I’m I hope I get it through. Do you think this happened naturally or did it happen by design is the simple question, but I gave you all that context and background so I wouldn’t have to break in again for the rest of your show. Go ahead. Well, I mean the short answer is yes. It did happen by design. Um there’s a lot of explanation that I think uh is required when you say that and of course that’s the the problem in saying that it did happen by design is that that’s the de facto conspiracy answer which at this point in my career or whatever this is I think is problematic. I think the de facto conspiracy answer is often trouble. However, I’m giving it right now. though I I I have to I mean if we’re talking about online truthtelling online conspiracy culture online truth movement where it was where we are now look uh the online space is not our space it we of course we the content creator creators in this case the truth tellers right of course we want to believe that this is our space and I mean the design of the allure of creating content online is that it’s your personal niche interest that you get to present however you want whatever you want to talk about however you want to talk about it the it’s up to you I mean the sky is the limit it’s it’s only uh the creativity is your only um block. That’s the only thing stopping you is is the bounds of your creativity. Right? That’s the promise of online content creation. Okay, fine. That’s somewhat correct. But we have to realize who who owns the space because anytime an issue arises and God knows it happens all the time. It doesn’t matter if you’re a conspiracy uh content creator or if you’re a uh tradife or if you’re something more innocuous like uh you give music lessons online or you’re uh talking about your favorite kind of food. Doesn’t matter what you’re doing if you are going to complain about the uh platform that you’re using at some point. I mean, anybody who’s ever been on YouTube or followed A by YouTube has seen the videos from their whoever they’re subscribed to, whatever your interest is, you’re subscribed to the people you like on there. I guarantee you’ve seen a video of the content creator complaining about YouTube changing the rules because they do it every week. it. Every week it’s a new rule and it’s incredibly frustrating for content creators to be able to keep up with this. You can’t. And you are a slave to their system. And the legal argument is what you should look at because it always comes back to this is that when any of this arises, it’s always the same story is that these are private platforms owned by uh private companies, for-profit companies, and because it’s their platform, it’s their system, they get to make all of the rules. There’s no government oversight. There’s no uh regulation that exists that can do anything about what happens on any of these platforms. And that’s the rule. And I guarantee everybody knows about this. Everybody’s heard about this. This is how things are. So that is in essence really that’s that tells you everything you need to know. But there’s more. is yes these are private platforms this is their world okay because as we’ve said on the show before the whole of internet has migrated from what we knew with like a vast um web of countless websites individual websites that exist for their own purposes and you know they’re private platforms where the rules are made up by whoever runs that website. Well, those websites are all have all been made obsolete essentially. I mean, I still have a website. Everybody still has a website, but it’s kind of tertiary. And every website for anything of importance or or a company out there trying to make money, they all survive now on their social media accounts that everybody is required to have social media accounts for uh to stay in business. Now everybody not just content creators but large uh multinational corporations are required to have uh social media. So it’s fascinating to see that everyone from the lowly peasant all the way up to uh you know the uh big shot uh big stakeholder in a corporation. you’re all subject to the rules of these systems because uh that’s the whole of internet now is social media. So, it’s it’s obvious what has happened, but also it’s happened over such a long period of time, it’s been easy to miss the point of everything as well because um because of the uh long period of time there. Um, uh, let me look, let me look at my notes here because, uh, I’m I’m going to return to this. There are a couple things I did want to mention as well. And we’ll return to these thoughts. Uh, flock cameras. This might be coming out of nowhere, but uh, the digital world is what we’re talking about. And not only internet, not only these social media sites and online life, but uh technology um the technological surveillance state as a whole is is is this world now. So, uh, an interesting topic in, uh, in alternative media, as it should be, is flock cameras. Um, and frankly, I’m trying to make sense of the topic because I know it’s important. It absolutely is important. It absolutely is one of the latest aspects of the surveillance state being created all around us by the usual suspects. Um, and yes, we should be upset about it and yes, we should be trying to figure out what to do about it. I don’t know what to do about it at present, but I I do know that um it’s an issue and it’s one to watch. Looks like we have somebody over at YouTube. Let me just take a quick look. Um because I can see somebody saying something. This doesn’t happen very much. Oh, okay. Uh I don’t know what they’re It doesn’t look that important. Never mind. Uh anyways, I was on Tik Tok as I should not be, but I am. I was on TikTok and I saw a video of uh and and this is interesting because yes, people are able to make these videos about these should be um taboo subjects, right? But we’re still able to make useful videos. So, that’s a good sign. I saw a video of somebody posting locations of flock cameras in Yaka Valley. Uh so that people know Yaka Valley is the large town located just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. It’s the big town on the main highway. There’s Yaka Valley. Then you get to the town Joshua Tree. Then you get to the 29 Palmstown which is home to the marine base. Those are the big towns out there by the park. And of course I have my place in Landers which is um a little bit to the north of all of these places. So I’m there a lot. I was there today. So, I wanted to see when I was watching this video, she was saying like, “Here, look. Here’s the flock cameras in Yaka Valley.” And they were all in the main highway, the highway 62. There are different sites with these cameras. And one of them I recognized. She’s like, “Oh, yeah. Check these out. These ones are at what looks to be a house at the corner of um 62 and I think it’s Yaka Mesa.” Anyway, I knew exactly where she was talking about because I know the house. It’s kind of like a landmark house for for us when when we go up to there. Anybody who goes up to that area probably knows this house. It’s a weird house on super busy highway, the 62 highway, right on the highway. It was kind of just uh Anyway, it’s it’s it’s weird that a house is on that spot. It’s very noticeable and in a strange spot. Uh, but uh I wanted to see these cameras. So, I was out there today and I saw them. I saw the cameras and um I did look up some interesting information on cameras. It says that these flock cameras are placed at the entrances and exits of neighborhoods, at city limits, and at strategic hightra intersections. And this house, I think, is all of those things. Honestly, I I’m pretty sure it’s the city limit to Yaka Valley. Or if it’s not, it’s right next to it. You drive down the highway and you’re in Joshua Tree and uh it’s busier in hell right there. Uh so there it was. Um Okay, I need I need to ask something real fast. Yeah. What in essence determines a entry and exit point to a neighborhood? Are are these neighborhoods like giant culde-sacs where there’s only one entrance and one exit or you know are they like uh uh planned communities that are gated where there is literally only one exit and entrance or is it that they’re determining what the exit and entrance is? I for context could you help me out with that? Uh sorry it’s a minor question but I think important because it’s about the strategic placement of this surveillance. So please could could you explain that? Well, for flock overall, I think yeah, there are neighborhoods that buy these things for the neighborhood. I know that the HOA of a neighborhood can have access to the cameras themselves. So, that can happen. In the case of Yucka Valley and these cameras I saw in the 62, what it is, it’s essentially it’s posted up on the main highway where it’s not really even a neighborhood there. It’s the main thoroughfare where if you go off of the highway then you go to like different areas points of interest and even neighborhoods. It’s odd that that house happens to be there as I’m saying where these cameras are in Yaka Valley and it’s more or less the city limit right there of Yaka Valley is where these cameras are. But the thing is you said the entrance to a neighborhood and the exit to a neighborhood. Now, having been in some uniquely sort of structured neighborhoods in my lifetime, there are points of entry that are common use that are not necessarily right off of the main thoroughare, etc. Okay, not the way they intended the traffic to be, but it turns out this is the way people go in. Um, but then again, there are also funnel effects, you know, where there’s only one bridge into a neighborhood if there’s a river that separates it from the mainland or something like that. Um, so that’s what I’m curious about is are we talking about something where the neighborhood is designed this way or they are also, you know, uh, by by design seeing where the traffic goes for exit and entrance regarding this? Yeah. Well, I mean, I’m I’m for me, this represents me just trying to get a hold on what these damn cameras are, to be honest. And Oh, okay. Okay. It’s just because that’s important. I’ll tell you why. Because that gives us a serious insight into exactly the nature of this surveillance. Have we already been surveiled and they’ve determined that there is common use just among the people that are there? that has become habit or is it because of a structural design where like I said in in the case of a gated community nobody exits or entrances generally speaking except through the front or back gates of a place right so you know that all the traffic is funneled into one place by design but in other cases it’s just like I said something became the common use and no other road was built there might only be one road into a particular area or one entrance uh so you And and again, strategically placing these cameras there, all you got to do is look at a surveyor’s map. You got it. Yeah, that’s nothing. But if they’ve already been conducting surveillance to figure out what our habits are, that uh requires pre-examination before placing these things. And these block cameras are not, you know, some minor uh joke or some minor part of overall surveillance. This is becoming a serious issue and um in various circles and not just among the paranoid conspiracy people, people are going, “Wait a minute. We got people watching us.” Yeah. Uh all the time. And I I’ve made this complaint before about you don’t realize it, but everywhere you go, you’re being watched. But now they’re taking it to your neighborhood because most people are just still under this silly impression that once you go home, you’re no longer under surveillance. As long as you don’t go to a store, you know, where they have security cameras, okay, we can accept that. blah blah. What I’m trying to say is between the self- surveillance and stuff like these block cameras, where is your privacy? Find it. Yeah. Cuz anywhere there’s electricity, you got none for sure. Anyways, that’s my overall point. But that’s why I asked this question, which seems again as if I’m just being picky about it, but I wanted to know what an exit and an entrance to a to a neighborhood is because you see the difference between a structural one and one that they had to determine by examining exactly what the flow of traffic is. And there are people out there that are occupied with exactly that for different reasons. This is why they build a new road because they determine, hey, listen, this gets too clogged up. We need another alternative route. and then they build another road or they build a centralized uh artery or whatever based on studying traffic patterns, right? Um, but these flock camera people are not supposed to have been doing that before that. So, where are they getting their information? Did they just buy it from the people who study the roads? Do they just know that? I’m serious. This is a serious question because it tells you where the evolution of this came from. And like you said, look, a homeowners association might want cameras in the neighborhood. Fine. The police love the freaking cameras, I gotta tell you. Oh, yeah. And there’s a whole thing about the agreements with cops everywhere having, you know, and sheriff’s departments everywhere, whether they have access or not to these cameras. And if they don’t, it’s even weirder. And that’s happened, too. Okay. And now there are people starting to fight back and putting bags over them and stuff. I mean, this is a whole thing, Aaron. This is pretty deep. I know. So, yeah. Go ahead. No, I’m sorry. I I just I wanted to step in and just add it because, you know, it’s important I think and and you’re touching on a great great subject here. So, you guys are getting a treat here. Please continue. And again, I’ll shut up, but damn. Yeah, it’s it’s absolutely is a pivotal uh political issue of the moment right now. And yeah, it’s all these I as I said, I’m trying to figure out the issue for myself and I frankly have barely even looked at the issue. Uh um so I’m not proclaiming to be an expert at all. Uh what we know for certain is this is yet another uh arm of the total surveillance grid as you’re describing. um anytime you’re using electronics, you’re plugged into the same thing essentially. And we have to realize that that does not mean, however, that we should devalue the importance of these cameras on the roads and how they’re being used. And yes, uh police departments do have direct access to these things even when they are in private neighborhoods. And that’s a big part of the whole story of this. So yeah, and and I know that with the highway 62 in Yucka Valley, that is the main artery for the entire um Morocco Basin area as it’s called. That is if you’re going up to Joshua Tree, you’re on the 62. There’s no way that you’re not there’s no way that you’re not going on that road. You’re on it. And if you’re on that road, you’re going to pass by one of these locations that has these cameras, whether it be at this weird intersection with that happens to have a house on it for some reason that the uh the street light post has these cameras attached to it. And yes, I did see it today. So, I got to look at it for myself. I’m like, “Okay, yeah, there they are.” Um, so yeah, in the case of Yaka Valley, they they put them where they know that they’re going to see everybody. And yes, it scans every single it’s it’s got the um license plate reader and it it keeps a record of every single license plate that goes by and they boast of that. It’s got billions of license plate reads per month or whatever. So, um, yeah, it’s just uh another surveillance tool. It is there. It’s a problem. It’s a gigantic political issue. It’s important. Uh it’s not going away. It’s as we’re saying, another arm of this digital surveillance grid that exists all around us now. It’s our world that has been built up for us. Gee, thanks. uh guys, it always is the same players when you really look at the investment of this. And we will say for Flock, I I looked this up real quick today that yes, the founders fund, the venture capital um company, Peter Teal venture capital uh company did invest um what does it say? uh did invest in Flock’s latest $275 million fundraising round in the spring, last spring. So, so of course they’re invested in this. You know, it’s the way that these things always pan out. It’s the same guys behind this big surprise. Um but uh we there’s so much going on because what this is is this whole entire system this digital system I think the message that I’m trying to get across and probably failing most of the time is that where we are with this this digital world we live in which is one of total surveillance is the direct outgrowth of the post 911 reality. The reality that was supposed to be exposed by the truth movement. As we keep saying, the truth movement still exists in withered little um particulate content creators that exist across the online world fed to you through the algorithms based on what it is that you’re interested in. Um, so just keep in mind that the same logic that sold the idea of security in the face of impending terror is the one that brought us to here as far as I’m concerned. And what’s fascinating to me is that the actual the war on terror era propaganda toolkit of the George W. Bush years, the, you know, Iraq to Afghanistan, uh, going into the Middle East to go after the terrorists, the war on terror era, which we have passed that. We’re not in that anymore. Really, the last nail in the coffin for that, I guess we could say, is when Joe Biden brought everybody back from Afghanistan. Oh, it was such a disaster. Blah blah blah blah blah. And then you had people like Eric Prince prancing around online uh saying like what a ridiculous thing that war on terror was. Oh my god, the government is just so stupid. Jeez Louise, that war on terror was really dumb. Never mind. He was one of the main profiteers and guys behind it. Right. Right. He goes out there acted like like really you’re really doing this. So, hey, you know that thing I made a billion dollars off of? Guess what? It was real stupid and so were you. But that’s okay. I got something new for you in the post war on terror era. And my name is Eric Prince. Don’t think of Blackwater. Just Eric Prince and my new project cuz I’m going to set you free. Cuz all that stuff before was dumb. Don’t pay any attention to how much money I made off it or all my family members made and my friends made. That’s irrelevant because it’s the postwar Ontar era. Come on down to Eric Prince Enterprises, whatever they may be called, Blackwater or otherwise, but we have changed the name. Thank you very much. All legal uh disclaimers are at the bottom of your screen. If you even if you can’t see them, they are there. Screw you. Bye-bye. Yep. Const constant rebrands with that guy, but rebrands with the propaganda uh as well. They’re constantly rebranding the propaganda and it has changed up a little bit. But I do suspect that at some point they might return more to the hard and fast techniques of the propaganda of the war on terror days because it they’re reaching a point where the push back from the public is getting stronger, stronger, stronger, and it is legitimate. It is real. I don’t want to say that it’s a conspiracy that we’re we’re being made to protest these things. That in itself is its own problem. It is legitimately actual people getting upset about real issues. So therefore, I would suspect that they’re going to try harder to try to throw us off the path and get us diverted and potentially even return to the war on terror playbook where they can uh somehow some sort of horrible event could happen and they could say, “Hey, look uh this thing that happened on the Highway 62, it’s a good thing that the flock cameras were here at this house because we saw it and we were able to bring the perpetrators who happen to be terrorists. Of course, I don’t know what this terror event is, but it happened, right? Or it’s this is just a fictional idea of something that could happen. This isn’t anything that actually happened. Okay, just disclaimer. But terrorism caught on camera, thank God, and uh culp the terrorists brought to justice only because we have this technology right now. Another aspect of this was I saw a video shared online of a city town hall meeting which there’s there’s video after video after video across all of the social media sites that you’ve probably seen of people protesting flot cameras at their city council meetings. So again, legitimate people, legitimate videos, actual uh people pushing back against this in real life, real issue. Um, one of these videos showed I I don’t know who it was uh that was I think he was talking to the CEO of the company. They they had the flock. It was definitely a rep from the company that was there. It might have been the CEO. He’s a big high up rep from corporate and this guy was grilling him, grilling the uh flock company man. And at the end he was like, “Yeah, he essentially had a call for violence against I forget if it was the said something about like the head of your company needs to be, you know, something violent done to him.” I forget what it was exactly, but that was what happened at this particular video. And I have to say I found that troubling. I understand the sentiment and and the the gravity of the situation. However, that to me is a prime example of something that could be exploited against the entire movement. Like look, this is a vi violent movement or it sets precedent that there’s violence underpinning it, right? and that perhaps I don’t know maybe a terrorist network would be going around taking down flock cameras or doing violent things to to make sure that they are or something. So, you know, I don’t know if there’s going to be a full false flag sort of thing going on with this, but it’s something to look at, something to be wary of, something to as as a possibility of something we got to look out for um as we move forward with this. Same thing with the data centers because the data centers and the flock cameras both in this midterm election, it’s been deemed by all of the companies whose job it is to keep track of such things and report back to uh the big political parties to any um political donors to big companies invested in this the stakeholders Right? Uh there’s companies that provide data to all these people saying, “Hey, look, data centers, it’s the big issue of this election.” Okay? And you got to figure out how to deal with it. If you don’t, you’re going to lose the election. Straight up. You got to What people want to hear now is that you hate data centers and that you’re you’re not for them. You’re not connected with them whatsoever because if you are, you are going to lose the election. That’s a big deal. That’s a big deal politically because elections are still real. Elections are are what these guys are trying to sway every chance they possibly get. And God knows they’re doing it on an international scale. Our buddy Mr. uh Twitter X over there, Mr. uh plays with rockets, model rocket man going to Mars. He famously um funded uh was it like a year ago or something? He he funded the alternative for Deutseland. So we remember that. That’s for me that’s a shining example of what these guys are up to funding uh political parties uh to in elections across the globe and something alternative for Deutseland is so comically ridiculous it’s it’s almost unbelievable that that is the real life example is yeah uh al alternative for Deutsland I mean how ridiculous It doesn’t get much more over the top than that. It’s an alternative. Hitler was an alternative for Deutseland a couple years back, a couple decades, almost a century ago. He was the alternative for Deutsland of his day. But now we have new alternatives being posed by these guys who are fascists. They are. and they’re taken over and they are interested in elections and they do want to sway them. Uh, do they want to steal them? If they can, they will. Now, it’s a matter of, you know, I’m not getting into any uh I’m not even going to go there in terms of like election stealing and rigged elections. It’s it’s not even worth it. But would would these guys like to do that? Of course they would. But they’re going to uh do everything at their disposal to have their way to buy all the politicians to make sure that their interests are served. Their interests are in the digital world, the digital surveillance grid, the flock cameras, the uh data centers. They need the data centers to power their systems. These are the guys who are um the beneficiaries of this AI reality that we’re in now, which are powering the algorithms that feed us our content for one thing, but that’s not all that’s going on. And of course, it’s a totally corrupt system. It’s the Back to the Future 2 Biffan economy, of course. So, there’s that aspect of it as well. And you’ve probably seen that in online and in in real life, in your augmented reality daily life. God knows I have. I know that. Um, and and this is something that’s been bothering me a lot as of late is the um online gambling. And of course, when we speak of this, you have to speak like double speak of it. It also it what’s funny is when we talk about these issues, it pulls double speak out of you because you can’t address the issue directly. There’s always some sort of weird loophole that’s been being exploited. So, it’s funny. It’s like the language of double speak is the language of understanding this mess we’re in. Is that ironic or is that um obvious? You know, I I don’t know. You answered that question because I’m in California. Okay. And in California, it is illegal to bet on sports online. Now, we could get further deep into the conversation as to why that is. And part of the reason in California is that the uh native Indian casino system is a huge player in the game and a gigantic political player. And there’s all sorts of fascinating things going on in that world. You could spend that actually ties back to the octopus Danny Castillo story right there. But uh you you could go on and on with that alone. But they’re a huge player in the uh California gambling ecosystem and probably the main reason why you can’t bet on sports online in California. But be that as it may, there’s loopholes. Surprise, there’s loopholes. And essentially, you can bet on sports in California on your little apps because you just have to make sure that you’re using a uh prediction market app, not a betting app. There’s a difference. It’s predicting something. And it’s not betting on a sports game or a sports event. It’s you’re making a prediction in a market setting. Okay? So that’s totally different. Also, which is I find this comical, another loophole here in California is that if it’s some sort of uh foreign operated uh website thing, you can you can do that too because the servers aren’t or the company isn’t based in California. So you can use that. That sounds all kinds of horrifying. Then I I hope not too many people are using those, but they probably are. But uh the the prediction market sites, the big ones, Cali, Poly Market, I assume people are using these things. And I I I mean, if I was doing my due diligence, I’d just be asking people I know about this. But because I know people are doing this, people I know are essentially gambling through the loopholes, whatever loopholes it is that they’ve chosen to use. And I don’t I haven’t asked, probably I should. Um they’re gambling on sports events. And from the sound of it, people are losing a bunch of money. And it sounds horrible. It sounds exploitative. It sounds like another clever trick to get people in debt to me personally. Um, sorry, one more quick question, Aaron. Uh, do do your people just gamble on sports? Because you mentioned Poly Market and there is a slew of those websites as well that allow you to gamble on various uh real world events. uh even the results of elections uh how fast you know a battle is going to occur a war coming or going or starting etc poly market has you know will this person come out and make a stupid statement on Wednesday bets even uh so I’m wondering are your people only doing you know how many points the Colts versus the Rams or are we talking like I’m gambling on whether Trump is going to say fabulous today um you know cuz that’s a real bet on poly market too by the is a word coming out of Trump’s mouth today, you can bet on that before midnight. And if he says it publicly during any point in that day, you win. Um I’m just saying. I know. I know. Okay. So, I’m just curious, are they betting on everything or just the sports? Just as a point of clarity, please. Again, I don’t ask enough questions, but if what as it seems to me that the sports stuff is the big draw. I’m sure they’re using it for other stuff, but the sports are the draw. And um with that, I have noticed that the it’s the prediction market style of wagering that seems to be drawing people in actually because it’s not just this team over this team. It’s very specific minutia out of games that I know people are really getting into. is like, “Oh, if this kicker makes one uh kick but misses the other, then you win.” Like that kind of stuff seems to be a big draw. Yeah. Okay. So, even more so, what you’re talking about is these people that go for these combinations where you’ve got like say in baseball, I happen to know this because I talk baseball with a couple of people online. Uh let’s just say for instance because you’re a former Met fan like me, uh you bet on whether Pete Alonzo, who no longer plays with the Mets, but was a Mets star and like say two random Mets rookies if they’re going to actually both get base hits today. Um or all three of them, right? And if all three of them get a base hit on, let’s see, coming up is Saturday. Let’s just say we bet on it right now. Uh and I say, well, Lou, Lou, Lewis Robert Jr., uh Pete Alonzo and Brett Batty all get base hits on Saturday. Now I have to have all three of these conditions happen and it’s a silly thing. It’s not even the outcome of the game or anything, but because of that I can bet 10 bucks and win 500. Mhm. And people are doing stuff like that. Is that what you’re talking about? Or are you talking about like the conditions in the game where it’s like there’ll be this many penalties called and this guy’s going to actually scratch his ear during the fourth quarter? I mean, cuz both of those things exist online. I’m just saying. Yeah, they do. No, it’s it’s all of that. And and then people are also I know that people are gambling on the big like UFC fights and things like that. I had uh someone I know lost thousands of dollars last weekend on exclusively some sort of wagers he placed on fights. That’s all I know. I It hurt me too much even to talk about it to ask him more, but I I know that that’s what it was. and it was way too much money that he lost doing that. So, you know, these things it’s it’s I’m always I’m noticing people doing this and it’s a large amount of people, but at the same time, it has me wondering what the true scale of this is nationwide. And I have to guess it’s massive. I have to I can only guess that there’s tons of people doing this and that lots of people are losing way too much money. I’m assuming and and as I say that I think it begs so many questions is um it seems obvious that this that so many people are doing this. So what we need to say is like hey look what’s really going on out there and how much money are people losing and uh why you we could get into the why people are doing this. I think um probably one of the main motivators is the horrendous economy now is that there’s no way for the regular person to get ahead. So these things sweep in there and offer this uh make money quick scenario, this sort of um magical solution that like, hey, look, all I have to do is make this little wager and I can get this much money back. Are people doing that on a mass scale and losing more than than they are breaking even? Right? Even to break even would be a success I would think. But my question is how many people are breaking even? How many people are losing? What tiny fraction of people maybe are making money? But you know the real question is how much money are people losing? And you know who are the beneficiaries of this new form of human suffering? Who you know I mean who’s who’s making the money and who’s you know I mean who and there’s answers to these questions. I think we know the answers to this but uh right. Hey Aaron, do me a quick favor and mute your microphone on Teams just briefly. Uh just uh as a point of helping out the technical side here. Uh some people might have noticed a little bit of a breakup in Aaron’s audio and I want to improve that. But I’m also not going to stop the flow of the show and I’m going to hand it right back over to him with this comment. I’m going to give you the Ochelli perspective in real time. Um who benefits? That’s interesting because if you take note, this speculation and uh you know the betting market, if you will, all of this stuff was being done online by guess who? Gangsters. Uh they were running these things and people have gone to prison for running things like Poly Market, for running online gambling, for running unauthorized sports betting and all that stuff. guys with Italian names and other ethnic gangsters have all gone to prison for exploiting people over this. Here’s the bottom line and the whole thing in a nutshell real quick. Aaron said, “Who benefits?” Let’s do the math. Just like when they took away the numbers runners, okay, from the Italians in the streets on the northeast and they turned it over to your state lottery so that you could run a pick three and a pick four and you could just, you know, sit there and wash your gambling addiction and scratch offs, okay, as a mechanism to allegedly raise money for education. Um, you know what? The government got to control that. But they don’t really want to control like the lottery all the time. Who benefits at the end of the day? Stay tuned for the answer. Just like with booze, just like with rendering things like cocaine and heroin illegal, which at one time in this country they were not, just like trying to have any sort of uh abolition of your ability to drink alcohol, but not really your ability to drink it. What was illegal during prohibition was your ability to sell it and buy it, not to drink it. That was the interesting part of that law there, that amendment to the constitution that they had to oh what get rid of. Here’s the ultimate answer to that question and also why they’ve sought to control and have now seized control of the cannabis market just in time for Trump to turn around and take it off of the schedule one. Uh, yay Trump. Anyway, here’s the bottom line. The reason why this is all good is because now it is taxable and trackable. It doesn’t matter what addiction is being sold to you. It doesn’t matter if your doctor got you hooked on pain pills. That’s all good because it’s taxable and trackable. If an Italian especially, but other ethnic gangsters decide to run that business, the real crime they’re committing is not paying the taxes. That’s why they got Capone. And that’s what pisses them off because they want their cut on your addiction. And it doesn’t matter if it’s dope or if it’s dopey bets. Any of that stuff, whatever you can get addicted to, the government wants their cut because they need dependent little animals in order to justify their own existence. And that, my friends, is the Ochelli view on this. Aaron, go ahead and open up your mic. I think your compression will be back. And you will sound normal again. Oh, yeah. I sure hope I do. Okay. He sure does. So, there you go. And I added content to your show. My apologies for anybody who didn’t want to hear that, but uh I think it was relevant and I think Aaron heard it and maybe he’s got something to say about it as he ends his show, which is coming up in the next few minutes. And Uncle the podcast broadcast will begin at 11:00 p.m. Eastern. So there you go. Go ahead. Yeah, I mean it’s obvious that uh the corrupt government that is ruling over us at present are the ones that are really, you know, cashing in. They’re they’re big on cashing in because of course Biff Tannon Jr. is an advisor and a huge investor into both of these stupid uh prediction market things, the Kelshi and the Poly Market, both of them, which is really ridiculous. these two competing uh companies. He’s he’s behind both of them. And the 1789 capital uh it’s it’s the same guys behind all of this behind the whole thing. This digital world that we live in, the crypto uh there’s this big crypto uh thing happening this week. That’s all part of it. They want the crypto legalized so that they can have their way with that. And the way that they sell all of this garbage is they want you to believe that you are being liberated from the confines of uh what’s what’s very ironic is they they want you to believe you’re being liberated from an oppressive government of that’s communist and socialist and would not let you gamble online would not let you have cryptocurrency because you know you can only have the state currencies. Uh would not let you do uh do whatever you want online. Well, now you can because the big tech guys are in charge now. So, hooray. Our libertarian saviors have saved us and they’re the ones behind so many horrible thing. They’re the ones that own all this crap. They’re the ones who own the government. They’re the ones who put it there. And they’re the ones who are once again trying to influence all these elections so they can get more so they can have more control so that they can put these data centers in without problems. And they are the ones behind all of the propaganda online that is thrown at you. And they do use the logic of conspiracy culture. They do use the logic of the former truth movement against you. They weaponize that to sell their product to you. Whatever that product may be at the moment changes, but it’s the same thing overall is their digital system that we now live inside of. It’s theirs. Um they own it. They create the terms of service which they can change uh hourly on the hour and you will be in breach of their contract. Uh every hour will change and you can be booted off a platform for some new rule that they just made up. That’s the libertarian way. That’s the freedom of their system. It’s a system that they own. It’s a system that is unencumbered uh by any government that would be there to um to to to regulate them in any way. That is their libertarian system. Zero regulation for the online system they want you living in, living your entire life in. They own it. They own it. They control it. It’s unregulated. There is no government above them. They are the government. All right. And you look at these companies that they started so many decad decades ago. They were actually funded by government uh entities too, which is funny. It there’s this interplay of public and private which is really laughable when you look about look at it for what it truly is, the history of this thing. But always remember, it’s a sales pitch. It’s a propaganda thing with them. And they’re constantly hitting you with it. They’re constantly using this logic of uh you are you are owning the libs and therefore you are free. You elected this new maverick politician that’s going to change everything in the manner of the truth movement. Right? You we convinced you of this. By we, we mean we just bought up all of these useful charlatans within the truth movement that would say what we needed them to say in order that you would vote a particular particular way for our candidate that was going to serve us. we made you believe that he’s going to serve you by telling the truth about 9/11 or or um making a new cryptocurrency to destroy the Federal Reserve or you know whatever or they’re going to get you out of the Forever Wars. They won’t, but uh they will. You thought they would. Now they didn’t. But that’s okay. We’ll make something else up to get you distracted away from that as that happens. So, you know, I I did think about maybe there’s there’s so many uh ways we could go. Check out the Patreon. I’m going to try to make a post because frankly I want to make a post where we just look straight up at the alternative media outlets that in yester year were just weirdo fringe sites that were saying somewhat innocuous and oftentimes toothless conspiracy theory stuff. now over time have surprisingly become essentially totally racist and or neo-Nazi websites. And that’s the story that really needs to be told because it sounds insane. It sounds sensationalist, but it’s true that the politics that these guys are really uh all about is a crazy totally racist neo-Nazi thing. And and maybe I I’ll make a Patreon post just where I I show like, oh, look look what uh look what they’re saying these days. Look at look at these interesting YouTube videos that are just over the top. Over the top. It’s insane. My voice is only in your head. I am letting you know that you’re over time, but only you can hear me. Continue. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. No. Well, I mean, that might be a Patreon video. I might uh touch on it here on uh the regular show, too. But for now, let’s move on to Uncle the Broadcast. That’s coming up on Friday night on ochelli.com. Stay tuned, everybody. It’s going to be fun. We might be a little late on that one. So, thank you. The age of transitions.com is my website. My name is Aaron Fr.
