The West Is in Serious Trouble | Guest: Glenn Beck | Ep 139
Matt Kibbe sits down with TheBlaze.com (@BlazeTV) founder Glenn Beck to discuss his rescue activities in Afghanistan, as well as the increasingly depressing state of the world. Having seen unspeakable horrors with his own eyes, Beck now understands the magnitude of government’s cruelty and callousness towards ordinary people, even when lives are at stake. That knowledge, combined with the systematic attempts to dismantle the values and freedoms of Western civilization, makes it difficult to be an optimist at this particular time in history, although Kibbe gives it the old college try.

China Unscripted episode #134
Desmond Shum, who was raised in Hong Kong, said he didn’t understand how to play China’s business game until he met his wife, Whitney Duan. They made a fortune together, and as a result she became China’s wealthiest female entrepreneur. But when Xi Jinping came to power, Shum saw the writing on the wall for business in China.

Looks like many are in the wrong place to me. I wonder if this was just a project of a low-paid intern for a mid-level executive.
“Is Your Privacy An Illusion? (Taking on Big Tech) - Smarter Every Day 263”
The video walks through the slow decay of privacy over the decades. It shows the reasons this has happened and why we should be concerned.
They’ve started a kickstarter to try and fix the problem. Maybe someone should contact them about the Safe Network and the solutions that Maidsafe has already come up with.
At first I thought Maidsafe was categorized under ad tech but we’re actually under browsers. Still weird Maidsafe isn’t at least under storage or more appropriate web3 (if that’s on there). Being that Brave browser isn’t categorized under browser and NXT is at the center of blockchain that leads me to believe this is quite an old graphic.
