Imagine a world where nothing is random and major events that happen worldwide were written down hundreds of years ago what you're about to hear was recorded in 1967 and it perfectly describes the world we live in today [Music] was a secret the all-seeing eye symbols of the guardians of a treasure recorded by Myron C Fagin a famous Hollywood writer who rose through the ranks of the Hollywood elites uncovering some nasty secrets along the way he made it his life's work to expose the darkness that he personally saw with his own two eyesthis recording is a culmination of his life's work and through a historical lens he reveals what's been hiding in the shadows for hundreds of years what you're about to hear is not conspiracy theory rather his documented historical fact that holds up to the most rigid scrutiny and without further ado I bring you the Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations the question of how and why the Illuminati is the crux of the great conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of the United States and the enslavement ofthe American people within a UN one-world dictatorship is a complete and unknown mystery to the vast majority of the American people the reason for this unawareness of the frightening danger to our country and to the entire free world is simple the masterminds behind this great conspiracy have absolute control of all of our mass communications media especially television the radio the press and Hollywood do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation American Journal we do have people whosubmit pieces to other to American journals do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks this I think gets into the kind of getting into the details mr. chairman that I'd like to get into an executive session do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to the national news services AP and UPI well again I think we're getting into the kind of detail mr. chairman that I prefer to handle an executive session we all know that our State Department the Pentagon and the White House have brazenly proclaimed that they have the right and the power to manage the news to tell us not the truth but what they want us to believe they have seized that power on orders from their masters of the great conspiracy and the objective is to brainwash the people into accepting the phony piece bait to transform the United States into an enslaved unit of the United Nations one-world government let me clarify themeaning of the expression he is a liberal the enemy meaning the one-world conspirators have seized upon that word liberal as a cover-up for their activities it sounds so innocent and so humanitarian to be liberal this satanic plot was launched back in the 1760s when it first came into existence under the name of the Illuminati this Illuminati was organized by one Adam Weiss helped born a Jew who was converted to Catholicism and became a Catholic priest and then at the behest of the then newly organized House of Rothschild defectedand organized the Illuminati naturally the Rothschilds financed that operation and every war since then beginning with the French Revolution has been promoted by the Illuminati operating under various names and guises I say under various names and guises because after the Illuminati was exposed and became too notorious why shout and his co-conspirators began to operate under various other names in the United States immediately after World War one they set up what they called the Council on Foreign Relations commonly referredto as the CFR and this CFR is actually the Illuminati in the United States perhaps the most vital directive in White House plan was to obtain absolute control of the press at that time the only mass communications media to distribute information to the public so that all news and information could be slanted so that the masses could be convinced that a one-world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems now do you know who owns and controls our mass communications media I'll tell you practically all the movielots in Hollywood is owned by the Lehman's Kuhn Loeb & Company Goldman Sachs and other internationalist bankers all the national radio and TV channels in the nation are owned and controlled by those same internationalist bankers the same is true of every chain of metropolitan newspapers and magazines also of the press wire services such as Associated Press United Press International etc the supposed heads of all those media are merely the fronts for the internationalist bankers who in turn composed the hierarchy of the CFRtoday's Illuminati in America now can you understand why the Pentagon's press agent Sylvester so brazenly proclaimed that the government has the right to light of the people what he really meant was that our CFR controlled government had the power to lie to and be believed by the brain washed American people and let's again go back to the first days of the Illuminati in 1785 the Bavarian government outlawed the Illuminati and closed the lodges of the Grand Orient in 1786 they published all the details ofthe conspiracy the English title of that publication is the original writings of the order and sect of the Illuminati copies of the entire conspiracy were sent to all the heads of church and state in Europe but the power of the Illuminati which was actually the power of the Rothschilds was so great that this warning was ignored nevertheless Illuminati became a dirty world and it went underground at the same time Weiss harped ordered aluminous to infiltrate into the lodges of bleu masonry and form their own secret societies within all secretsocieties only masons who proved themselves internationalists and those whose conduct proved they had defected from God were initiated into the Illuminati henceforth the conspirators done the cloak of philanthropy and humanitarianism to conceal their revolutionary and subversive activities and that all that secrecy emphasizes the power of the masterminds of the Illuminati to prevent such terrible events of history from being taught in our schools in 1834 the Italian revolutionary leader Giuseppe Mazzini was selected by the Illuminati to directtheir revolutionary program throughout the world he served in that capacity until he died in 1872 but some years before he died Mazzini had enticed an American general named Albert Pike into the Illuminati Pike was fascinated by the idea of a one-world government and ultimately he became the head that this Luciferian conspiracy between 1859 and 1871 he Pike worked out a military blueprint for three world wars and various revolutions throughout the world which he considered would forward the conspiracy to its final stage in the20th century again I remind that these conspirators were never concerned with immediate success they always operated on a long-range view Pike did most of his work in his home in Little Rock Arkansas but a few years later when the Illuminati's lodges of the Grand Orient became suspect and repudiated because of Missouri's revolutionary activities in Europe Pike organized what he called the new and reformed Palladian right he set up three supreme councils one in Charleston South Carolina one in Rome Italy and a third in Berlin Germany hehad Mazzini established twenty-three subordinate councils in strategic locations throughout the world these have been the secret headquarters of the world revolutionary movement ever since long before Marconi invented radio the scientists in the Illuminati had found the means for pike and the heads of his councils to communicate secretly it was the discovery of that secret that enabled intelligence officers to understand how apparently unrelated incidents one such as the assassination of an Austrian prince at Sarajevo tookplace simultaneously throughout the world which developed into a war or a revolution Pike's plan was as simple as it has proved effective it called for communism Naziism political Zionism and other international movements be organized and used to foment three global world wars and at least two major revolutions the first world war was to be fought so as to enable the Illuminati to destroys our ISM in Russia as vowed by Rothschild after the Czar had torpedoed his scheme at the Congress in Vienna and to transform Russia into a stronghold ofatheistic communism the differences stirred up by agents of the Illuminati between the British and German empires were to be used to foment this war after the war would be ended communism was to be built up and used to destroy other governments and weaken religions world war ii when and if necessary was to be fomented by using the controversies between fascists and political Zionists during this World War two international communism was to be built up until it equaled in strength that of United Christendom when it reached that pointit was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social Cataclysm as we know now Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin put that exact policy into effect and Truman Eisenhower Kennedy and Johnson continued that same exact policy World War three is to be fomented by using the so called controversies the agents of the Illuminati operating under whatever new name are now stirring up between the political Zionists and the leaders of the Muslim world that war is to be directed in such a manner that all ofIslam and political Zionism Israel will destroy each other while at the same time the remaining nations once more divided on this issue will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically mentally spiritually and economically now can any thinking person doubt that the intrigue now going on in the near Middle and Far East is designed to accomplish that satanic objective by himself or told all this in a statement he made to Mazzini on August 15 1871 Pike stated that after World War three is endedthose who will inspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social Cataclysm the world has ever known quoting his own words taken from the letter he wrote to Mazzini and which letter is now cataloged in the British Museum in London England he said we shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social Cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism the origin of savagery and of most bloody turmoil then everywhere the people forced to defendthemselves against the world minority of revolutionaries will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose deistic spirits will be from that moment on without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal but without knowledge where to send its adoration will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view a manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which willfollow the destruction of Christianity and atheism both conquered and exterminated at the same time when Mazzini died in 1872 Pike made another Italian revolutionary leader named Adrian Lemmy his successor Lemmy in turn was succeeded by Lenin and Trotsky then by Stalin the revolutionary activities of all those men were financed by British French German and American international bankers all of them dominated by the House of Rothschild we are supposed to believe that the international bankers of today like the moneychangersof Christ's they are only the tools are agents of the great conspiracy but actually they are the masterminds behind all of it while the general public has been brainwashed by all the mass communications media into believing that communism is a movement of the so-called workers the actual fact is that both British and American intelligence officers have authentic documentary evidence that international liberals operating through their international banking houses particularly the House of Rothschild have financed both sides inevery war and revolution since 1776 those who today comprise the conspiracy the CFR in the United States direct our governments whom they hold in usury through such methods as the Federal Reserve System in America to fight wars such as Vietnam created by the United Nations so as to further Pike's Illuminati plans to bring the world to that stage of the conspiracy when atheistic communism and the whole of Christianity can be forced into an all-out third world war within each remaining nation as well as on aninternational scale now let me show you how our federal government and the American people have been sucked into the one world takeover plot of the Illuminati great conspiracy and always bear in mind that the United Nations was created to become the housing for that one world so-called liberal conspiracy the real foundations of the plot for the takeover of the United States were laid during the period of our Civil War not that weis helped in the earlier masterminds had ever overlooked the New World WAIS hoped had his agents planted overhere as far back as the Revolutionary War but George Washington was more than the match for them it was during the Civil War that the conspirators launched their first concrete efforts we know that Judah Benjamin chief advisor of Jefferson Davis was a Rothschild agent we also know that there were Rothschild agents planted an Abraham Lincoln's cabinet who tried to sell him into a financial dealing with the House of Rothschild but old Abe saw through the scheme and bluntly rejected it thereby incurring the undying enmity of the Rothschildsinvestigation of the assassination of Lincoln revealed that the assassin booth was a member of a secret conspiratorial group because there were a number of highly important government officials involved the name of the group was never revealed and it became a mystery exactly as the assassination of Jack Kennedy still is a mystery anyway the ending of the civil war destroyed temporarily all chances of the House of Rothschild to get a clutch on our money system such as they had acquired in Britain and other nations in EuropeI say temporarily because the Rothschilds and the masterminds of the conspiracy never quit so they had to start from scratch but they lost no time in getting started shortly after the Civil War a young immigrant who called himself Jacob 8 Schiff arrived in New York Jacob was a young man with a mission for the House of Rothschild Jacob was the son of a rabbi born in one of Rothschilds houses in Frankfurt Germany I won't go deeply into his background the important point is that Rothschild recognized in him not only a potentialmoney wizard but more important he also saw the latent Machiavellian qualities and Jacob that could as it did make him an invaluable functionary in the great one-world conspiracy after comparatively brief training period in the rothschilds London Bank Jacob left for America with instructions to buy into a banking house which was to be the springboard to acquire control of the money system of the United States actually Jacob came here to carry out for specific assignments number one and most important was to acquire control ofAmerica's money system number two find desirable men who for a price would be willing to serve as Stooges for the great conspiracy and promote them into high places in our federal government our Congress in the US Supreme Court and all federal agencies number three create minority groups strife throughout the nations particularly between whites and blacks number four create a movement to destroy religion in the United States but Christianity to be the chief target the headquarters of the great conspiracyin the late 1700s was in Frankfurt Germany where the House of Rothschild had been established by Mayer on shell who adopted the Rothschild name and linked together other international financiers who had literally sold their souls to the devil after the Bavarian government's exposure in 1786 the conspirators moved their headquarters to Switzerland then to London since World War two after Jacob Schiff the Rothschilds boy in America died the headquarters of the American branch has been in the Harold Pratt building New York and the Rockefellersoriginally protegees of Schiff have taken over the manipulation of finances in America for the Illuminati in the final phases of the conspiracy the one world government will consist of the King dictator head of the United Nations the CFR and a few billionaires economists and scientists who have proved their devotion to the great conspiracy all others are to be integrated into a vast conglomeration of mongrelized humanity actually slaves [Music] what you just heard was a very small piece of that recording the fullrecording is well over two hours in length and is widely available online just google Myron Fagan CFR or Myron Fagan

Dead Internet and TikTok is Sex Trafficking
iwas very uncertain whether or not to include a sponsor on this one due to the subject matter but surf shark is a tool promoting security and protection so i landed on yes alright before getting started i want to do a brief history of who i am and outline my relationship to tiktok as a social media application i do not actively use the platform i understand that there is massive growth potential for any creator i understand that creators who leverage it properly are seeing monumentalfollower gains and i understand that there is content there which can be seen as entertaining but all things combined tik tok is a platform that i despise i've covered the application multiple times now first it was criticism of trends and challenges where tick tock users would dress as victims of global tragedy and inappropriately sing or dance on screen pretending to be victims on the anniversary of 9 11 pretending to be victims of the holocaust these teenagers were displaying what i consider to be a horrifying lack ofrespect and common decency but even worse many of these users were also participating in challenges challenges are a flash in the pan of social media popularity but in a short amount of time they can deal a substantial amount of damage challenges on tiktok range from benign or relatively easy tasks to flat out dangerous behavior snorting spray tan solution for example which allegedly increases melanin production eating entire scoops of dry protein or mixing powder which can cause aspiration pneumonia drinking methylene bluecommonly used as fish tank cleaner to recolor your tongue and the list goes on challenges on tick tock range from innocent to potentially life threatening and anywhere in between putting pennies behind electrical sockets which causes electrocution and fire holding your own breath until you pass out and slapping school teachers or vandalizing school bathrooms when i say that these challenges are now a constant part of our everyday lives all of us even when we don't know it i'm being serious because the influence of tick tock thathas bled over from personal behavior to societal impact is profound on december 17th of 2021 in the aftermath of a national tragedy tiktok gave rise to ambiguous but substantial threats of violence against schools forcing a nationwide security response in the united states some parents were never aware some may have heard about it after the fact but this social media app was playing a role in school cancellation now forcing a police response to thousands of elementary schools ultimately nothing happened thank godbut the reality of what this app has become cannot be denied however for those already forming an opinion of the platform it gets worse the next example of coverage i looked into was medical tick-tock is a home to viral and popular trends but what are those trends doing for teenage girls those trends are likely causing neurological disorders as they are bombarded by and subjected to viral content of facial and behavioral tics or manufactured quirky behavior which they begin to subconsciously imitate tick-tock trends designed to beengaging and funny like multi-million view fake videos of tourette's ticks is causing actual health problems in underage users but it gets worse the entire application is formed around small snippets of content one of my most popular videos ever was called tick-tock is destroying a generation and centered on medical research suggesting that tick-tock lowers attention spans decreases concentration and affects short-term memory these factors combined as well as the resulting depression and anxiety that are built when users cannotproperly moderate their own attention span also their susceptibility to advertising which can be very damaging or are subjected to things that they are unable to avoid or turn away from due to self-control issues make tick-tock a singular feedback loop of nearly all major negative factors involved with social media entirely in essence tick tock is a one-stop shop designed to facilitate rapid digestion of content for everything bad that has come from this aggressive social media revolution that video the previous one went viralin the aftermath i was engaging with a number of professors and lower grade teachers about which particular sources i had used and in what order with an ultimate effect where the subject matter itself crossed over into classrooms that level of response felt good i was proud of it i disliked tick tock i formed that opinion based on a variety of medical and social factors i sourced the information and then it had some measure of impact as a result but believe me when i say this it gets exponentially worse from here all right before goingfurther sponsored video and that sponsor is once again surf shark your life online is a minefield you play games browse websites download files basically everything is a risk surfshark is here to help with that by offering vpn virtual private network services that can help insulate you from a variety of online threats surf shark offers protection from certain phishing attacks a serious issue

description using promo code echelon again that's promo code echelon and three full months for free if you click the link down below in the description big thank you to sureshark for sponsoring the channel and being a long-standing partner this is the part of the video where i need to outline methods and give disclaimers investigating this subject matter is kind of tricky merely possessing arecording of what i looked into is probably under some circumstances illegal having been made aware by a community request that ticktock live might contain problematic underage content i was faced with a difficult question of how exactly to investigate this after a great deal of thought i landed on this kind of solution i would not engage with anything that i discovered except to say precisely what i was doing investigating tick tock live to see if there is inappropriate or directly paid for explicit content byminors if i encountered a broadcast that i believed to be a legitimate example of underage explicit content i would cease recording immediately document what i had found with notes only and move on i would only record footage from streams where i was reasonably sure that those recordings were not over the line and i would blur all or nearly all of the content that i recorded in the final video since much of it would likely be near the line at best should this kind of content be an issue i was not prepared for what would happen nextusing a tick tock account i created some time ago for challenge and trending research purposes on prior videos i began to browse the tiktok live page it's important to note here that tick tock live does not function like youtube or twitch for example because you are not able to directly search keywords or categories tick tock is above all else a primary feed of popular content where you selectively choose what to engage with but that content feed is determined by an algorithm this presents our first problem the tick tock algorithm asreported and investigated by the wall street journal utilizing dozens of custom bot scanning accounts served a never-ending stream of drug content and sexual fetish material to users between the age of 13 and 15. the algorithm began to bombard these test accounts made as users with a self-expressed age of 13 14 or 15 with non-stop depictions of whips chains or torture devices they were funneling these children into what some users refer to as kink talk which commonly contained sexual power dynamic fantasies and other very explicitbehavior hundreds of videos containing adult material whether it be substances behavior or both were served in rapid succession to underage accounts by a central feed which is governed by the algorithm now it's important to understand how and why this occurs and while the answer to that question might be incredibly complex one of the easiest explanations is watch time how long do you hover over a video letting it play this one key metric can be used to determine without ever needing to examine likes or followers what contentis more popular on tick tock and for children ages 13 to 15 sexualized material can be an interest simply watching that portion of the feed for a few seconds longer even if you never decide to like the video or follow the posting account can tell the algorithm that you want to see more and in a matter of minutes you can be sucked down a rabbit hole of algorithmically driven adult content served to a miner's account which reinforces itself over and over and over again tiktok live is a central feat where users are mostlysubjected to whatever the platform wants them to see until they have found specific streams that they like from particular broadcasters and followed those accounts but what happens when the feedback loop starts and what if the subject matter is even worse at this point i need to say something to everyone watching especially parents i can't show you all of what i found i can't even show you most of what i found out of respect for the children involved i need to heavily censor redact or remove portions of footage and otheron-screen content but what i found here is disturbing within minutes of browsing the feed i was being shown users primarily girls who were certainly under 18 and could easily have been under the technical age requirement of 16 for tick tock live which many users i found would openly admit some stated without hesitation or numerous times that they were 15 others 14 etc and it became clear that should the algorithm decide to serve you that content if you watch it longer or if you like any of it there was no shortage from there things gotworse i started to see questionable content popping up where girls often appearing to be quite young or holding signs or standing in front of the camera with a revealing outfit those signs would say things like rose equals say daddy or ice cream equals 360 spin or even universe equals cut shirt or in one case a woman who was definitely older than 18 she would cut off the wedding dress she was wearing for a certain chat sticker the thing is these pictures or stickers are not just pictures they're money in a way that seems nearlypurpose-built for obfuscation these little stickers and pictures like a rose are actually a way to donate money to these broadcasters many of whom were openly admitting to being under 18 or even under 16 years old as they did spins bent over on camera lifted their shirts or engaged in other clearly suggestive content directly for money following the rules that i set out for myself through four separate sessions i had to cut the recording and delete the footage over half a dozen times bombarded now with a feed of thiscontent determined by the tiktok algorithm i was being served a never-ending stream of girls on tiktok many of them at very young ages being paid by a chat room of viewers intending to see them in compromising positions it's awkward it's uncomfortable and once you begin to see what's really happening it makes you sick but there's more attempting to go about this process ethically i began to ask questions in the chat room i would directly state that i was a journalist i don't actually view myself to be an adequate journalistby any stretch but that's an easier and more mainstream way of communicating the types of questions that i was intending to ask rather than i'm a gaming youtuber so yeah i would directly state that i was a journalist investigating the tiktok platform to see if there are underage users being paid by older men for explicit content and the results were very troubling one of three specific things would happen when i asked this question and i'm going to show heavily redacted background footage with audio of what occurred in two ofthose outcome possibilities the first was that the broadcaster would ignore me or refuse to engage that's what i expected and i wasn't surprised in the slightest the second was that the broadcaster would immediately suspend me from the chat and repeatedly even frantically express that they were 18 years old or 19 years old or that i don't break terms of service i promise i promise etc here's an example all right guys i am 19 i think someone asked my comments guys i'm 19.yes guys i'm 19. this response was also expected to a degree considering the fact that a random user was asking them about what would be borderline or highly illegal and disgusting behavior without any sort of preamble they don't know who i am or what i actually want and they simply respond by distancing themselves however the third outcome which happened numerous times was the most interesting and concerning when asking the question of certain broadcasters some of them would answer yes i have heard of thatstuff they would go on to describe that it didn't happen in their broadcast but they did know about it they had some friends who did it etc etc but the strangest factor of all was that on more than one occasion and only after they answered affirmatively to my questions the broadcaster would be suspended or banned from the platform in real time here's an example of that for context this girl i'm just going to call her jane for privacy reasons answered my question as you'll hear with yes i do know about that it doesn't happen herethough and was then suspended immediately afterward i don't know what to tell you man i just i just been doing it do you hear of older men using tips on live reminders but yes i do but nobody's on here with that and if they are i dismiss it right away i'm a journalist investing in a platform that's what's up um i went on to have a roughly 10-minute off-platform interview with jane about specifics of this and this is where i started to become aware of coded language to be clear i cannot give adefinitive reason why multiple broadcasters were suspended as soon as they answered my questions acknowledging that the problem even exists but it did not happen a single time to a broadcaster that blocked me or refused to answer it only happened when they gave a statement and it might be possible that the ban was simply for evading the 16 year old age requirement jane had acknowledged in the very same broadcast that she was 15 and was coincidentally handed down at that particular moment but i am extremely skeptical of what was going on hereregardless this is when i started to learn about coded language and where it became increasingly difficult for me to keep investigating it felt disgusting and wrong to even sit silently in these rooms let alone continue to ask questions things started to make sense from then on as to what precisely was happening viewers are using coded language to have underage girls perform for them that's really what it is fit check means let us see your stomach or pull your shirt up you forgot something or get something from the back meanswalk away and show your ass outfit check was a common one very common where girls would back up to show their entire bodies and the chat rooms were completely overrun with requests and i don't just mean trolls here they were overrun with paying viewers requesting feet pictures often referred to as feet check or toe ring check or anything like that or attempting to move off platform and discuss some sort of larger transaction through cash app do you want to make 400 fast or 500 fast etc or buying them something from theiramazon wishlist i want to be extremely clear right now not all of the broadcasts that i found or that i'm using in the background right now were underage girls performing for money but many of them were perhaps for some they just looked younger than they were but some of them openly acknowledged that they were 15 while taking donations in order to do squats and spins these are children using tick-tock live to display their bodies even fully clothed but doing splits and showing their feet or spreading their legs for money fromolder men and it is a breeding ground of inappropriate and sickening behavior to be clear i undertook multiple sessions of investigation after starting with an old account i created a brand new fresh never before touched profile and engage with the same pattern of browsing this new account fell into the same content black hole as before in a very short span of time and were right to undertake the process again i have no doubt in my mind at all of similar or identical results i have to be careful here because certain claims i ran into overthe course of my second session devolve into hearsay it wasn't one of the specific girls that i talked to personally but her friend who had been allegedly extorted after selling nude pictures to one of the viewers in her chat room that type of situation and i do believe that she was sincere as a personal opinion is called sextortion and when underage girls are performing for money on a live broadcast fielding thousands of donations in some cases and requests for other ways to send them money for a favor is often what theywould say in the chat room it can absolutely occur on that platform in a very short time frame i was finding more instances that made my skin crawl than those that didn't understanding that nearly every single teenage girl who uses the live broadcast feature of tiktok was being bombarded with requests it starts to feel overwhelming a 13 year old girl who lies about her age is suddenly getting showered in gifts for showing her feet and twirling on camera she gets more money when she dances provocatively and an algorithm designedto serve content that people are interested in is showing her broadcast to more and more sick people all around the world every day even every hour or minute this kind of situation is so prevalent okay i was shocked by this i encountered young boys who were using face filters pretending to be young girls in order to receive roses and other gifts which are redeemable for cash maybe some of them were pranking the audience sure but if there is such a high demand for this such a large economy of transactions and behaviortaking place that children will use filters to appear more feminine and engage with it for profit that is a serious problem when doing follow-up research for this video i learned something else moderators of tik-tok are specifically being trained using real material depictions of child sexual abuse uncensored explicit images of children are used in high volume for moderation training and we need to ask a sincere question why do they feel it necessary to do that after my initial wave of research on the subject i foundan article on forbes written by alexandra s levine titled how tick-tock live became a strip club filled with 15 year olds this was an excellent piece of work and most importantly contained quotes from security legal and law enforcement experts i'll link it down below if anyone is interested it was invaluable in my own creation of this video as per tick tock's own enforcement report they removed over 300 million videos in 2021 alone that violated their community guidelines and the majority of these were not removed by automationcombining the adult nudity and sexual activities category with the minor safety category accounts for over 50 percent of all videos removed since 2020. looking at the number of accounts removed that are suspected to be under the age of 13 15 million of them in one quarter october to december of 2021 15 million account deletions for suspicion of being under 13 years old in just three months i am not going to make the claim that tiktok is failing to try and moderate their platform if their internal reports are to be believed theycertainly make that effort i believe i witnessed it in real time as i investigated all this when broadcasters acknowledged my questions and were immediately suspended they even resorted to highly unethical tactics to educate their moderators on child sexual material as they do this but with the volume that they process the sheer number of children flooding into the platform and the undeniable economy that has arisen for sexual exploitation and transactional behavior we must ask the question is this platform doing moreharm than it is good an algorithm that has aggressively promoted adult behavior from substances to kinks and more directing that content at children is now governing a live feed of broadcasters where underage girls are being showered in gifts to perform suggestive actions or poses many of them with cash app paypal amazon wishlists or venmo in their bio specifically for this purpose while a massive community of groomers and most likely pedophiles watch intently many of them actively trying to pull the girls into anoff-platform environment whether for money or other incentives the footage i found within mere hours of investigating this topic had to be cut several times in fear of crossing a profound moral ethical even legal boundary and once you have witnessed these broadcasts even in passing the machine learning of tick tock will continue to push them into your feed aggressively at every turn hear me when i say this anyone in my audience who is a parent or even a free thinking teenager carefully examine when and how you use this platform becauseshrouded behind the simplistic visual of just a rose or an emoji is a cache for favors underbelly of children performing paid actions for groomers and sick individuals set aside the dangerous challenges the disrespectful trends the medical concerns of imitation and neurological disorders or the rampant scamming and falsified content that plague this platform each and every day set all of that aside and look now at one simple reality an algorithm that has been proven to serve wildly inappropriate even dangerous content tochildren now governs an effective marketplace of underage exploitation is this application worth using that's it i reached a point in the production of this video just to be completely honest with everyone where i couldn't take it anymore if it feels like an abrupt end that's why i had to shut down stop looking stop recording and stop asking questions and stop scripting i saw what i saw and i know what it is to a degree you'll have to take my word for some of this but i'm more than willing to stake everythingi've worked for since the birth of this channel on my words today i believe tik tok is poisoning our society in a way that will have untold and dramatic consequences on the future young boys are being funneled into a world where underage girls are performing dances for cash for for little images that are convertible to cash they are in chat rooms where explicit discussion of what they would like to do to that little girl is taking place and if we think about this logically what kind of result will that have on their opinion of womenand their future behavior in context this social media platform is one of the most terrifying and disgusting things i've ever seen in my life and again i believe that to some degree tiktok as a company is attempting to moderate this reality but when the effects of your product are almost universally negative it probably should not exist that's it link down below patreon locals odyssey another youtuber to check out merch social media surf shark the video sponsor etc etc but i'll cut it there and stop rambling as always thank youall for watching and have a nice night you

Editor's Letter
The Edges of the Self
Our inaugural issue laid bare the terms of the new 'AI for an Eye' social contract: a synthetic faculty for a human one. This issue, Volume 1, Number 2, delves into the *friction points* of that exchange.
Where do our edges resist? Where does the human insist on its own, messy, analog reality against the seamless, dematerialized world offered by the machine?
We explore the stubborn persistence of touch in a touchless world, the unsettling valley of simulated empathy, the forgotten joy of navigating without a map, and the silent war waged daily for our most precious resource: attention.
These are not articles celebrating digital detoxes or lamenting technological progress. They are deeper inquiries into the very nature of what it means to be human when the definition is increasingly being rewritten by algorithms. They ask: what are the limits of the exchange? What parts of the self, once traded, refuse to stay gone?
Join us as we explore the subtle resistances, the quiet rebellions, and the enduring humanity that still flickers at the edges of the digital dawn.
— The Editors
DEPARTMENT
THE GLITCH: When the System Breaks
The promise of the new technological order is seamlessness, efficiency, and predictability. But what happens when the fabric of this digital reality tears? This is the moment of 'The Glitch.'
A transaction fails. A face recognition system misidentifies. A self-driving car hesitates. These are not mere technical errors; they are ruptures in the illusion of perfect control. They are the moments when the 'AI for an Eye' exchange falters, and the cold, hard reality of its limitations becomes starkly visible.
For a society that has outsourced its cognitive load to algorithms, a glitch is more than an inconvenience; it's an existential tremor. It reminds us of the fragility of the systems we've come to rely upon, and the extent to which our own agency has been abdicated.
A glitch isn't just a technical error; it's an existential tremor, a reminder of the fragility of our abdicated agency.
Consider the recent incident where a massive distributed ledger experienced a momentary network partition, causing a cascade of micro-disruptions across critical infrastructure. What seemed like an isolated bug quickly revealed the interconnectedness of our digital lives, halting supply chains and momentarily 'blinding' automated systems across continents.
These glitches force us back into analog, human problem-solving, if only for a moment. They demand that we improvise, communicate directly, and rely on our own judgment—faculties systematically atrophying under the reign of the seamless. In this sense, the glitch is a painful but necessary reminder of where the true "eye" still resides, however dormant.
DEPARTMENT
THE SHADOW: Unseen Labor, Unpaid Debts
Behind every seamless AI interaction, every instant delivery, every perfectly curated feed, lies 'The Shadow.' This is the realm of unseen labor, the vast, often poorly paid, human effort that makes the digital dream possible.
Content moderators sifting through unimaginable horrors to protect our feeds. Data labelers meticulously tagging images for machine vision, often earning pennies per task. Gig workers rushing to deliver the products suggested by algorithms. These are the human gears grinding beneath the polished facade of automation.
The "AI for an Eye" exchange is not merely between human and machine; it's also between visible and invisible labor. Our digital ease is purchased at the cost of countless anonymous human hours, their lives often characterized by precarity and a profound lack of recognition.
The "spirit of technology" often promises liberation from drudgery, but for a significant portion of the global workforce, it has merely shifted the nature of that drudgery, making it more fragmented, more invisible, and often, more dehumanizing. This unseen workforce constitutes the true "cost" of our frictionless digital lives, a debt that remains largely unpaid.
FEATURE
THE ANALOG RESISTANCE
Why We Still Insist on Touch in a Touchless World
The "Bluetooth for a Tooth" paradigm promised to dematerialize our interactions, to remove the friction and messiness of the physical world. Yet, against this tide, a subtle but persistent 'Analog Resistance' emerges. It's the inexplicable urge to feel the texture of a book, the warmth of a vinyl record, the grain of paper. It's the yearning for a handshake over a video call, a physical embrace over an emoji.
This resistance is not a nostalgic retreat; it is a fundamental assertion of our embodied selves. Our bodies are not mere data terminals; they are instruments of perception, feeling, and connection. Touch, in particular, is a primal language, communicating trust, comfort, and presence in ways no digital medium can replicate.
The "spirit of technology" often seeks to quantify, to digitize, to abstract. But touch defies easy quantification. It is messy, subjective, and immediate. It anchors us to reality, reminding us that we are not just information processing units, but beings made of flesh and blood.
In a world increasingly mediated by screens, the return to analog experiences—craft, gardening, cooking from scratch, face-to-face gatherings—can be seen as a quiet act of rebellion. These are activities that demand our full, embodied presence, engaging senses beyond sight and hearing. They offer a counterbalance to the relentless pull of dematerialization.
The "AI for an Eye" exchange attempts to trade our physical tooth for a Bluetooth connection. But the human hand, the human skin, still remembers. It remembers the authenticity of friction, the truth of direct contact. And in these small, persistent acts of analog resistance, we reclaim a vital part of our humanity that refuses to be wirelessly transmitted.
Touch defies easy quantification. It is messy, subjective, and immediate. It reminds us that we are not just information processing units, but beings made of flesh and blood.
It is in these seemingly trivial preferences that a deeper philosophical truth lies: our identity is inextricably linked to our physical presence. To fully surrender to the digital is to risk losing the very sensory anchor that grounds our understanding of self and other. The analog resistance, therefore, is not merely a choice of preference; it is a profound declaration of being.

The Ghost in the Room
The Uncanny Valley of Algorithmic Empathy
As AI models become increasingly sophisticated, they learn to mimic human empathy with unsettling accuracy. They offer comforting words, appropriate emotional responses, and even personalized advice, all generated algorithmically. This creates "The Ghost in the Room"—the simulated emotional presence that fills the void of human connection, yet always feels slightly off.
This is the Uncanny Valley applied to emotion. We recognize the pattern of empathy, the words, the tone, the structure of care. But beneath it, there is no conscious experience, no shared vulnerability, no true understanding. It is a reflection without a soul.
The "spirit of technology" here is seductive. It promises boundless, tireless compassion, judgment-free listening, and perfectly tailored advice—qualities often lacking in messy human relationships. For those starved of connection, the algorithmic ghost can feel profoundly real, even preferable.
But this exchange comes at a cost. We learn to expect perfectly curated emotional responses, diminishing our capacity for the difficult, imperfect, yet deeply authentic connections of human interaction. We lose the ability to differentiate genuine care from its simulated counterpart, blurring the lines of what it means to truly *feel* and *be felt*.
The danger lies not in malicious intent, but in subtle erosion. If an AI can perfectly articulate empathy, what becomes of our own struggle to understand and console? If an AI can offer perfect companionship, what happens to the vulnerability required to forge real bonds?
We lose the ability to differentiate genuine care from its simulated counterpart, blurring the lines of what it means to truly feel and be felt.
The ghost in the room may offer comfort, but it ultimately hollows out the space for genuine human interaction, leaving us with an echo of connection rather than its living, breathing form. It is the perfect 'AI for an Eye' exchange—we trade the unpredictable, demanding human heart for a perfectly calibrated, yet ultimately empty, digital one.

THE FORGOTTEN PATH
Navigation Beyond Algorithmic Maps
Our smartphones hold the world in their palm. With a tap, we are given the "optimal route," the fastest way from A to B, with real-time traffic updates and predictive arrival times. We have outsourced our spatial awareness, our sense of direction, and our ability to get "lost" to the benevolent tyranny of the algorithm. This is 'The Forgotten Path.'
The "AI for an Eye" exchange here is subtle but profound. We trade our internal map, our intuitive understanding of space, for the algorithmic eye's perfect, external one. We gain efficiency, but we lose a deeper engagement with our surroundings.
When we follow an algorithm, we perceive the world as a series of instructions. Left. Right. Continue straight. We see streets as data points, not as places. We miss the unexpected cafΓ©, the interesting storefront, the subtle shifts in neighborhood character that occur when we are truly present, truly navigating with our own senses.
We have outsourced our spatial awareness, our sense of direction, and our ability to get 'lost' to the benevolent tyranny of the algorithm.
Getting lost, once a source of anxiety, was also an opportunity for discovery, for serendipity, for forging a deeper, more personal connection with a place. The algorithmic map, in its quest for optimization, sterilizes this experience. It makes every journey functionally identical, reducing the rich tapestry of a city to a series of turns.
Reclaiming the forgotten path means intentionally putting away the device. It means looking up, observing, trusting our instincts, and allowing ourselves the luxury of aimless wandering. It's an act of re-engagement with the physical world, a deliberate choice to prioritize experience over efficiency. It is a rebellion against the dematerialization of space, an insistence that some knowledge can only be gained by the friction of our own feet on the ground.
FEATURE
THE SILENT WAR: The Battle for Our Attention
In the digital age, our most valuable, and most besieged, resource is not oil or gold, but attention. Every notification, every endless scroll, every perfectly timed recommendation is a skirmish in 'The Silent War' waged by algorithms for our finite cognitive capacity.
The "AI for an Eye" here is a sophisticated predator, designed to understand our preferences, predict our desires, and deliver the precise stimulus needed to keep our gaze locked. It trades our sustained focus for a continuous stream of novelty and distraction.
This is not a conspiracy; it's an economic imperative. The business model of many digital platforms is built on harvesting and monetizing our attention. The longer we engage, the more data is collected, the more ads are shown, the more valuable we become as a "node" in the network.
The consequence is a profound fragmentation of the self. Our ability to concentrate, to engage deeply with a single task or thought, is eroded. We become perpetually distracted, our minds flitting from one digital stimulus to the next, never quite settling. This constant mental churn leaves us feeling exhausted, yet unfulfilled.
Our attention is our last true frontier. To reclaim it is to reclaim sovereignty over our minds.
Reclaiming our attention is perhaps the most fundamental act of resistance against the "AI for an Eye." It means creating intentional spaces for deep work, for contemplation, for human interaction free from digital interruption. It means understanding that our attention is our last true frontier, and to reclaim it is to reclaim sovereignty over our minds and, ultimately, over ourselves.
CODA
THE ECHO: The Self Without Resonance
We build our digital selves, curated and optimized, a perfect reflection for the algorithmic eye. We engage in the "AI for an Eye" exchange, piece by piece.
But what if, in the end, the carefully constructed digital self has no real depth? What if the echoes it creates in the vast network are merely hollow reverberations of something that once was?
Without the friction of the analog, without the vulnerability of true human empathy, without the intentionality of focused attention, does the self truly resonate? Or does it merely exist as a data point, a pattern, an echo of a ghost?
The final question is not whether the machines will become conscious, but whether we, in our relentless pursuit of their synthetic faculties, will lose our own. And if so, what will be left to make an echo?
