I confess, I both dread and accept the inevitability of the digital state. It seems unstoppable. And I’m convinced it will come with many more cons than pros for the average person.
The amount off overt and covert digital surveillance we are subjected to is immense. This data is used to nudge (and sometimes shove) our thoughts and perceptions to sell us everything from gadgets we don’t really need to political positions.
With every passing week, new forms of digital invasiveness are exposed, such as the recent revelation that Comcast WiFi routers are capable of tracking our physical movements within our homes.
While some of this tracking may be relatively benign, such as providing targeted advertising, we also know that the Big Tech companies collude with the government to help censor a wide variety of narratives they’d like to limit or stifle.
What can any of us really do about this?
This is where today’s podcast guest, Hakeem Anwar comes in. Some of you met him at the 2025 Peak Prosperity summit and heard his talk there. Quite a few of those people then hustled over to Hakeem’s merchandise table to buy his product, the Above Phone.
What is it? Well, the core of any phone is the operating system it runs. Apple products use iOS, and most of the rest use Android. But there are other operating systems, and the Above Phone uses Graphene OS on Pixel hardware, which effectively ‘de-Googles” it.
With a suite of carefully selected apps, these phones offer superior privacy, security, and control; features include no big tech connections, anonymous app access, tracker visibility, open-source app stores, offline maps, private YouTube downloading, and local AI for self-sufficiency.

After conducting this interview, I am really quite excited to get my Above Phone up and running, which I’ll be doing next week…I’ll let you know how it goes. But I am also planning to get Evie one, and then probably my kids, too.
I am excited to finally cut Big Tech’s harvesting streams out of my life. I want greater privacy while still being able to access the convenience of having and using a smartphone. One feature I didn’t even know how badly I wanted until Hakeem told me about it is using their own encrypted messaging solution. Sure, I use Signal, but I strongly suspect there are ‘back doors’ built into it for US government snooping. I can’t be sure of that, but I don’t like the doubt…
Above Phone uses an open source encrypted messaging solution that they host right on their own servers, which cuts out a lot of potential vulnerabilities.
One other solution they offer, which I didn’t know I needed, is a custom-built laptop that is built to download and then run Mike Adams’ AI system called ‘Enoch.” Trained on thousands of ‘alternative’ health articles and papers, it has been purpose-built to avoid the pro-Pharma bias found in all the major AI programs.
Mike says, “Unlike mainstream AI, Enoch was retrained using alternative knowledge—natural medicine, decentralized economics, and uncensored history—to eliminate pro-establishment biases.”
With a download of the Enoch model, you will have a world of useful answers at your fingertips, even if the internet goes dark.
To make getting any of the products easier for Peak followers, Hakeem’s company is offering holiday specials at https://abovephone.com/peak with up to $500 off phones, family bundles, free suite months, and setup assistance.
