Your iPhone, your Android, your smarty-smart-smart phone isn’t just a phone or a map or a camera — it’s a pre-hacked surveillance device. And Palantir, the CIA’s favorite data-mining beast, is quietly weaving together a new AI-powered control grid to track, predict, and police us all.
In this explosive conversation, I sit down with Hakeem Anwar, CEO of Above Phone, to expose how Big Tech and federal agencies are merging into a unified surveillance state — and more importantly, how we can opt out.
We dig into:
• Palantir’s secretive rise from CIA seed money to global surveillance empire
• Why mainstream phones are designed as digital prisons
• The hidden traps baked into everyday apps (yes, even your PDF reader)
• How to reclaim your privacy with open-source tools and Above Phone
• The spiritual + practical path to tech sovereignty in an age of AI panopticons
If you’ve ever wondered how deep the surveillance rabbit hole goes — and how to escape it — this one’s a must-listen.
