My New Website and Discord l Why Is Stew Peter's Dragging Me Into His Drama?

0:12 Yeah. Yeah. We're back and I think my content is working. Oh yeah, we're back and I think my content is working. Thank God. Yeah. Stay here. Stay anywhere. We're here. We're there. We're everywhere, guys. We're back. I have no idea what happened. All of my scenes got stuck and it wouldn't change and it wouldn't do anything and it was like really messed up. But we're back. We're here. We're live. We're doing the damn thing. I appreciate you all for coming back.

1:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got Bodlink. We got KJ. We got Queen Trip in the house. That's what's up. Okay. Yeah. So, we're back, guys. We are back. We'll let everybody kind of get back in. I appreciate you all for hanging out, for for being patient with me. This has all been extremely strange. Uh, this is very weird. I don't know what has been up with my streaming software, but maybe it might be time to change it. It might be time to change it, guys. Apple juice, what's up?

1:47 Everybody, everybody coming back in. All right. So, the things that I wanted to talk about. Damn, I'm even like, you know what? I'm so out of it, guys. And I feel so bad because the last live stream that I did, the last live stream that I did like the other day had all these like stuttering issues and stuff. It was just like a freaking nightmare. So, yeah. Yeah, I'm like not having a good time this week with the streaming. Maybe I do need to get new streaming software, but Meld has been really good for me. The good thing about Meld Studio is that they have an

2:32 incredible Discord uh where I can get in with people and get live answers all the time. It's really awesome. So, uh I'm going to try to get this get this fixed. Yeah. Yeah. You had to report the stuttering to the proper authorities. I You know what? I I don't blame you. I don't blame you guys. I don't I don't. So, let's start with the Discord because your boy got a Discord. And I want to shout out uh AD Fleet. She went and made me a Discord and brought it to me. And uh Anka, who's one of my mods on like

3:19 everything was and you know she's she's awesome. Uh you know apparently Fleet went to her and was like do you think Kevin would like this? She was like yeah show it to him. And honestly, sometimes it's like the things that like I'm so ADD that sometimes it's like the things that I could just get done in like 5 10 minutes or like an hour or something that like isn't necessarily difficult or anything like that could take me weeks or months to just do it. That's like the super ADHD thing that it's like the one of the most ADHD things that I do. And uh yeah, it's uh it's pretty uh it's pretty crazy. So, I've been talking about doing a Discord

4:05 now for I don't know, weeks, maybe even a month, and I just like never sat down and did it. And uh well, 80 Fleet put this together and uh I added to it. We brought in some mods. I brought in some bots. and we have the foundation of a really great Discord. Now, the Discord is free. Okay. Uh but there is extra perks for those who may want to pay for it. It's $3 a month. I would have done cheaper honestly, but the program that I use for the monetization, literally the floor is $3

4:52 a month. I could not go any lower. Um I would have to get a whole new system to be able to do that. So yeah, um it's $3 a month, but also if you want to pay for the year, I made the year like I think like 21 bucks or something. I made it like super cheap um because those I I had more um like for the the bigger things. So anyway, I try to make it as affordable as possible. And if you do want to do that, there's going to be like a membersonly chat, membersonly um you know, video calls probably like once a week like most people do. Um and then I have these different areas for all of my research, all of the PDFs of

5:37 everything that I do, documents, everything like that. So I'm going to be dropping those. And Trevor Drip over Drip is live adding memes to the chat because it's on screen. That's what's up, brother. That's what's up. Uh and so anyway, if you want to get on there, um there's perks for people who want to pay. If you don't want to pay, that's fine. Uh you know, if you want to if you want to throw us a boost uh to the community, that's great. Um, if you want to, you know, uh, uh, get a membership, that's great as well. Those all support. Whatever's coming in is just going into the Discord, honestly. Like, because there's actually a lot of cost into like

6:22 running good Discord. Not like a ton, but there's cost to it. So, you know, I'm literally charging for those people just literally so I could put it back into um the Discord to make a bet uh an ever growing better experience for everybody. So, yeah. So, you know, um come check it out. We've got a really awesome community in here. Uh we got people throwing all the chats in. Uh we've got 53 people in like a day or what day? Two days now. What? Yeah, I think I dropped this two days ago. We're actually right now, this is the other thing is that right now this is the soft launch. Actually, the Discord isn't even done yet. Okay, this

7:10 is the soft launch. So, we're launching the full Discord full on fully fully fully October 31st, Halloween. Okay. And then on November 1st, I'm going to give everybody who's in the Discord a badge for being a founder because you guys were here first. Okay? And so, we'll give you all founders badges and maybe there's perks that'll be added to those founders badges over time. You never know. We might do founder badgeonly discussions or, you know, all sorts of things. And that's those are the types of fun things that we do. Giveaways just

7:55 for founders, like all that sort of stuff. So if you're not into the Discord, hop into the Discord. I also come if you come down here, you look, we've got all these voice. There's a hangout for all of us. You I don't even have to be there. You guys can hang out. Literally, I started a hangout chat yesterday with people. We had like eight, nine, 10 people maybe in there at a time. And then I got out after like a couple of hours and like 3, four, five people rotating were in there for another 4 hours just chitchatting and I like came in later after like dinner. I was like, "You guys are still here." It's a great place to meet cool people, really great community. If you like the chat here on

8:42 YouTube or kick, it's the same people and they're here and we could keep that chat going forever. So definitely go check out the Discord, join. It's free. If you want extra perks, you want more, you know, you want to give to the community, you want to uh you know, maybe get some more one-on- ons, that sort of thing, or or whatever. Uh you want to get in, this is where it's at. Discord. It's going to be fun. I love Discord. I've run multiple like pretty successful Discords. Um, and we have a great mod team like already and it's just really awesome. Um, and so shout out to the

9:27 mods. Uh, you know, Anka and KJ and Marines Blood and they're all, you know, here in the chats, too. So, yeah, really, really, really stoked for the Discord and uh I'm in there every day and I'm I'm throwing out videos. And so, here the Discord, right? If I drop a YouTube video, boom, it's right here. It's letting you know, hey, I'm live on YouTube right now. You can you can hit that, right? Uh, so if you're in Discord, it'll let you know that I'm going live because sometimes the YouTube clips or the YouTube notifications don't work. Sometimes the kick notifications don't work and people say, "Oh, I didn't get my notification."

10:12 Well, if you're in Discord, you will be notified. It's going to hit it's going to hit an at everyone and give you the link. Boom. Here's kick right here. Boom. right now. It's doubled up because unfortunately I had some technical issues and and all that, but that's how it works, guys. So, if you're having trouble with notifications, this could be a great way to get those notifications. And then, too, if you want to see like what I post on X or what I post on Instagram, right, those are those are there as well. So, uh yeah, we've got we've got tons of chats. We have uh things that we're building out, right? Um, so obviously if you want to just like look at cute pets, everybody's throwing their pets in here, which is really cool. This is uh Rally.

10:58 This is the uh the foster dog that we have right now. Uh she's a very cutie cute. She's a very cutie cute. That's B, our our dog. She's 11. That's Raleigh the Foster. Um that's our cat, Dez. She's a stunning Bengal. Uh, and uh, and this is my Bubba girl. This is this is my ride or die of the last 11 years. Um, and she's awesome. She's the greatest dog ever. So, yeah, if you like pets, there's a really, really great channel in there. Uh, surveillance info. We're starting to, you know, put together a lot of surveillance information. Um, YouTube videos, whatever, whatever is good

11:44 information. Uh Bodlink Rory, he has tons of documents and tons of stuff. So he's going to be putting information in there which is great. Another one that we set up here is don't get scammed and this is Marine's blood is going in here and he's going and giving all of this great information, right? all this stuff that he had like put out on X because Marine Blood works on the side with the victims that Kit Boga uh helps out and so he's on the team that helps people who have been scammed which is really cool. So, uh, he has

12:29 tons and tons of great information and links and all this sort of stuff so that you can learn how to not get scammed because scams are not only at an all-time high, but they're going to get worse and they're going to get more convincing and more believable because AI is making it so. So, definitely get in there, right? And and then like I said, we're going to have all this area for all of my documents and all my PDFs and all of my information. So if you want to actually look at the information that I'm looking at, all of my research that goes into everything that I talk about, it's going to be there. It's going to be

13:15 there. Talk about transparency. Wow. Right. So anyway, go check it out. We're we're doing so many things in this. We've got more things coming. We got memes dropping. We got people hanging. It's a good ass time. So, please go hit the Discord. Um, if you are It's It's uh I'll make sure uh can can any of the mods on on YouTube and Kick just throw an invite up in there and then pin it? If you could throw an invite link from the Discord into the chat and pin it, I'd really appreciate that, guys. Thank you so much. Um, but

14:03 if you see it from KJ, Anka, or Marine Blood, those are legit links. You can always hit those uh because they're only sharing my links. Uh, but yeah. Yeah. So, that's one new thing this week. one new foundational element this week that I dropped for the community and for research and for everything and I've been talking about it for months and we finally did it. Another thing another thing that I've put together that I dropped today is kevinisum.com. That's right, kevinisum.com.

14:50 Now, I think that what I did here was I made what I think is a great experience that might be better than YouTube, honestly, right? And so, I I I I built it for humans to go on here and to check, but if I'm being completely honest, it's not just about you guys. It's also a way that it's built in a way that is rich for SEO but also rich for GEO. Meaning my content, the things that I talk about, I will become a topical authority because of the way that SEO and GEO works. So this page has tons of page or this this YouTube has um rather this

15:36 website has tons of pages uh a page for every one of my videos with the full complete transcript of every video and all of that like all of those pages all of those topics all of those things that I talk about gets fed into the internet and then becomes it's structured in a way where the AI high and the the Google, you know, rankings and all that will favor me. So, this is also for discoverability over time, right? Over time, this is for discoverability. Um, and if you if you want a website, let me know. uh you know

16:21 especially if you're a content creator you know content creators I am not going to beat you over the head on these on the cost of these websites. Oh yeah it's working. See see up here it's now knows that I'm streaming and you can watch my streams. So yeah so let's check this out because I haven't. So now here's I am not over the head on these on the cost of these websites. You can go in here and you can watch on YouTube. You can watch on on kick. You can you can watch on Twitch right on my website. Twitch right on. Uh, unfortunately

17:06 you can't do this. Um, you can't um you can't chat. You can watch on but you can watch and it all counts right on my website viewership and everything uh unfortunately which can't I think do this and then well let's let's see. So, let's go back here to the web to the website. Obviously, join the Discord if you want to join the Discord. Boom. Kevin.com has links to everything. My latest YouTube uploads are all right here. If you want to join the Discord, that's here. Uh, here's everything that I investigate, like all the topics that I do. And then what's cool is, so let's say you go surveillance state. Oh,

17:52 what's the surveillance state? Look at that. Oh, it's every also here's the website pinopsconindex.com. Here's my latest video and then here's all the videos that I did about the surveillance state that's on my YouTube all in one place. All in one place per topic. YouTube doesn't offer this type of experience and now I do uh through this site which is uh pretty cool. Um, obviously if you want to go into any of my websites, panopticonindex.com, the aicults.com, or who killed thecientist.com, there are links right here for that. Uh, FAQs, right? And and all of that. Um,

18:41 projects is like here here are my websites and then here's YouTube videos that correspond with those websites, right? Uh, obviously there's like an about me and and everything like that, but this really is built so that I can have like a topical authority within projects is here are my websites and then here's YouTube videos that if you're a content creator and you want something like this that's actually going to like help you you for discoverability because this the thing that a lot of people don't know is that Google owns YouTube and now they're using YouTube content to feed into the algorithms

19:26 which they never really did before. And now this is like closing that loop for me. And so I I think like over the next couple of months we're going to see a big, you know, um a big surge of of attention from this which is not on YouTube, right? And I think that that's really cool. So, this is an experiment, but if you are a content creator, you're a streamer, you're a YouTuber, anything like that, and you want a website like this, hit me up. I will hook you the up. I will literally hook you the up. Now, here's what's cool. So, this is today's video, right? So, you could watch it right here. Again, it will count towards my views

20:13 and my watch time and everything like that, which is cool. But oh no, this is it's still uh it's a little too new. Um so it takes maybe like a day for it to populate all this up. So let's go down here. So here's a synopsis of everything that I talked about. Here are what I mentioned, right? And like I can hit TOA and then it's like, you know, it'll bring to videos that like I talk about TOA key moments. So, so it's timestamped of what those are. And then full transcript, everything I said. Everything I said, it's right there. So, don't let anybody Don't let anybody say that Kevin is a

20:58 human. Isn't transparent. Don't let anybody say that I'm hiding dude. I'm not. It's all right here. This is this is literally like I'm I'm handing my you know future enemies of which there will be guaranteed. I'm handing my future enemies the keys. Dude, that is how sure I am in what I say, how I how I conduct myself. It's all right here. Oh, I ain't hiding those blankers from you, bro. I ain't hiding those blankers.

21:44 Don't worry. So, yeah. Uh, I'm really stoked on this website. I think it's really cool. Basically again it's a lot for like SEO and GEO so that I can you know get some organic discoverability and all that which is definitely super helpful for me but also it's a way to give you guys a one-stop shop experience of pretty much all of my content. uh not like my like shorts and like all that sort of stuff because then it get really bogged down, but like my my live streams and my YouTube videos, right? And it's just, you know, you can literally, like I said, one may not be

22:31 able to chat pretty but you can come in here and you can watch my live streams right here. Literally, right, literally right here. Right. Literally right here. Right. So, it's pretty cool. Right here. Right. So, it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. So, um and if you guys And if you guys, you know, uh if there's anything else you'd like to see on Discord or on my website, please reach out, hit me up. Like, I'm still accessible. Like, I still have so few people. I'm like not overwhelmed with the amount of people that are interacting with me on a day-to-day

23:16 basis. I'm still very much in the accessibility zone. And I I I want the best way I can give you guys what you want is by you telling me what you want and then I'll I'll work to get it done. And I have cool people, cool mods that can help me as well, which is really cool. you know. So, yeah. So, again, mega thank you guys. Um, thank you guys for being in the Discord. Um, dropping all this stuff. Be evil posted about uh the Binance thing today, which is crazy.

24:03 I don't suspect we'll really get into that, but uh there is there are some things going down uh when it comes to Binance, which I think is a a very sketchy uh incredibly sketchy organization. I think CZ from Binance is uh I think he's a bigger crook than Sam Bank McFreed ever was if I'm being perfectly honest with you, but he's protected by China. He's protected. So, you know, he doesn't have the kind of he has the kind of protections that like SBF did not have

24:48 clearly. Um so yeah. Um, so before I came live, Trevor Trip over Drip texted me and was like, "Bro, did you see this shit?" And apparently in some way or another, I'm get I'm getting dragged into this Stu Peters you know? Like, here's the deal. Here's the deal. I didn't really know Stu Peters, right? I'd heard the name here and there. You know, I didn't really know him very much. I saw he had like a large following on X.

25:35 I saw that he had, you know, a live stream and, you know, it's very well produced, which I think is is great. You know, you love to see it. Um, and you know, he he goes pretty hard on, you know, he says the Jews. I don't say the Jews. I more criticize a certain ideology of Jewish people. Um, but you know, whatever, whatever, whatever. Um, now I hold no allegiance to Jesse on fire. I've talked to the guy once. Uh, I thought he was cool. I thought he was nice. I thought he was cool. Um, but I don't know him. I don't have a relationship with him. Uh, and uh, I'm

26:20 not going to speak on his behalf or anything like that. Um, I don't have a real read on him. Do I think he's a Fed? No, I don't think he's a Fed. Uh, but Stu Peters apparently does. But the thing is is that my friend Danks got really wrapped up in all of this. And Denx has been going back and forth with Stu for weeks now on X. And now Stu wants to do like a three-hour live stream about Danks today, which I haven't seen because I really don't give a because I know Danks. I talked to him. He's a good guy. I think he's a good guy. I I don't think

27:06 he's a plant. I don't think he's a fed. Um I just I just don't think that's the case. And I'm a pretty great judge of character. I'm like a really good judge of character. That's not like me like patting myself on the back. It's what other people tell me. So Trevor sends me this today. Like literally like I don't know like an hour and a half ago like right before I went on on and I was like well I guess I got to talk about this now. Let me see. Let me pull it up here because I can't really zoom in. I can't really zoom in on uh X I don't think X

27:52 Yeah, X doesn't let you zoom in. All right, but uh pull myself up here. Yeah, X doesn't really let you zoom in, but if you look up here, so basically what it is is he's trying to put all this, you know, Star of David and here's all the people. HERE'S ALL THE PEOPLE. DEX IS IN THE center of it. We got Baron, Valhalla, Heavy Duty Country, Elizabeth Lane, Trigger Smart, and B. And they're the they're it's like where's Jesse on that? That's actually weird that he made this whole thing and didn't put Jesse on there when the whole thing was this controversy with Jesse. But

28:37 whatever, whatever. He puts this whole thing together, this whole image for the for this thing where he's trying to take down Danks and it gets brought to my attention that I'm up here. I'm this one. This orange one. That's me. Go on to the Steu Peters post. Look at it yourself. You'll see me on that. The am I doing on there, Steu? Wait, you know what? You know what? Let's bring it into frame. Still, I got a question for you, bud. The did I do? I do not talk about Charlie Kirk ever. In fact, the only time that I talk

29:23 about Charlie Kirk is when I say it's kind of stupid to spend your entire career talking about Charlie Kirk. I think that's a bad move, right? I don't talk about Charlie Kirk. I think there are so many goddamn people talking about Charlie Kirk. It I like it's giving people Charlie Kirk fatigue. Okay. In fact, Danks a few weeks ago before all this drama was stepping away from all of this Charlie Kirk stuff because you're just spinning your wheels. And I said, "Bro, you're talented enough and you've fostered enough loyalty and enough uh you know, just just just love from your community

30:10 that you really could talk about anything. You want to talk about all these other things, but like all everybody that I talk to, they're like, "Well, but like I get half the the clicks, a third of the clicks if I do anything that isn't Charlie Kirk related." I don't give a Like you're you're you're really yourself with the algorithm of YouTube and of these platforms. Like don't spend all your time talking about Charlie Kirk. I'm the don't talk about Charlie Kirk all the time. There's enough people doing that. Okay. I'm that guy. So why the is Stu Peters making this Sorry. I always My camera's

30:58 mirrored. Weird. Okay. He's making this Okay. Where he's putting me on it. Me. I'm not trying to make this about me. I'm trying to make it about what the are you looking at me for? So, Ste, tell me, why the am I on there, bro? I don't talk about Charlie Kirk I'm certainly not a fed if that's what you're trying to imply. And I just like I'm I'm literally not involved in any of this. I don't even know half of these people on here. I'm friends with some of them.

31:43 ADN's on there. I'm friends with her. I'm friends with Bae with Baze. I'm friends with Danks. I've talked to Baron Coleman a couple times. He's a nice guy. I I I wouldn't call him a friend or anything like that. You know, I don't know any of these other people. Harrison Smith. Okay. Heavy duty country. Never talked to him. You know, Tornado Alley I have. She's cool. She's cool. I like Tornado Alley. Right. Blake Bednars. I literally don't even know who that person is. It's like I pay so little attention to the Charlie Kirk thing that there's all these

32:28 characters within it that ANYTIME PEOPLE OH, AND YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT MITCH SNOW AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THESE people are. Literally, that's how blocked out I am about this. So, what the am I doing on this Stew? Like, leave my name out your mouth when it comes to Charlie Kirk because I'm not the one. I'm anti- Charlie Kirk. I'm anti- talking about Charlie Kirk. I didn't like Charlie Kirk when he was alive and I've said that publicly. I will continue to say that publicly. I I care about the the case in that I think there's an innocent man

33:13 that's a psy that's probably going to die in prison who didn't do it. Okay. I care that there's a cover up and I care about all the ways that Charlie's death will justify the erosion of our sovereignty. We have plenty enough people figuring it out. I don't think that I have anything to add to the Charlie Kirk thing. I have gone on to multiple live streams with multiple friends of mine whose like 80 90% of their content is Charlie Kirk and they all know that I will not talk about Charlie Kirk with them. In fact, I'm probably saying Charlie Kirk more times right now in this five minute segment,

33:58 wondering why the you're talking about me than I've ever talked about collectively in like 50 YouTube videos or like 60 live streams that I've done now. And it's just weird. It's weird. Stu, guess what? I'm gonna clip this up and I'm going to tag you on X. I think it's weird that you keep going after Danks saying that he's a Fed. He's a Fed. He's a Fed. He's a Fed. He's a Fed. By what your definition of a Fed is, the Leafiles

34:43 would be considered a Fed as well. By your definition of what a Fed is, by your justification for what you think Danks is, is like a thousand times more that Leafiles would be a Fed under your description of what a Fed is. And last week you platformed a fed two times. So like what the bro? Have some consistency. You know, Anna Escobar actually came to me when she started like I think she had done her first live stream with Stu and

35:28 she hit me up and like, "Hey, Stu wants to do something about like the surveillance state. you've been doing all this content. I want to like get you in contact. I'll put in a good word and I was like sure. I don't really know who Steu Peters was though. Like I really didn't I didn't watch his or anything like that. So I like followed him on kick and like watched some of his stuff and I was like well you know I don't agree with him on everything but like I would love to go and talk. I mean he's getting views. He's get I I want to get the message out. I think it's important. I think it's important you know and uh yeah. So, I was like, "Yeah, connect me." And we never we never contacted each other. We never got connected and it didn't happen. And it's like, "Whatever. Like,

36:13 I don't care." Like, I've I've had this happen like 10 times already. Like, it's not that big of a deal. You You move on, right? And I'm just going to keep on talking my But for some reason now, like, and and I know what it is. He used AI to make this image. And Danks has talked about me uh about a couple weeks before all of this went down. Danks went out and like gave me my flowers and was like, "Go follow Kevin. Like he's one of the best creators out there." It was like very sweet. And he didn't have to do that. And he did it out of nowhere. Like random. And I got like 200

36:59 followers on X or something which was great. Amy, I do not have on two watches. This is a watch. In fact, this is like the first like halfway decent watch I ever bought like 17 years ago on a NATO strap and I just pulled it out because I wanted a like a dress watch to wear like recently. See, it's a good one. Uh this is a fitness tracker. It's not a watch. Um, so yeah. So anyway, Danks had, you know, gave me my flowers and and I and I love Danks. I don't think that he's a fed. I don't um I think that that is a term that has been so overplayed and overused

37:45 that it has literally no meaning anymore. It has no effect anymore. It doesn't. You guys have killed the Fed. Everybody's a Fed at this point. You know what? I'm a Fed. And if you know what I mean, it was this tweet that I made last night. Where is it? I said said, "Guys, I'm a Fed. I'm a fed up with this whole notion that anybody you disagree with is a Fed." And that's the truth, man. That's the truth.

38:33 I'm fed up with this dumb This is the most low IQ dumb ever. Ever. It really is becoming that. Where was this? Whitney Webb posted this and I was like, "Yo, the queen has spoken and she's right again." Can we stop talking about the former intelligence agents and the podcast drama between them and maybe focus on real issues that matter? How about independent media covers the many disturbing developments courtesy of the government and the broader global governance structure is currently doing which in many areas is drastically under reportported and try and hold actual

39:18 power to account instead of reality TV style mudslinging. Isn't it supposed to be different than mainstream media? In the events in the event these people don't still work for intelligence, they're doing their work of divide and conquer and distract for them. I for one am tired of having this drama slop algorithmicly thrown at me. Yes. Yes. Yes. Queen. All of these people, all of these queens up in here, all of these people are like, "Yes, bro. Thank you. Right. And it's just listen, I think it is it is important like if Shawn Ryan is a Fed, if Shawn Ryan really is, you know, uh

40:04 kneecapping his guests on what they can say and what they can't say, uh that's a problem and that should be exposed, right? And just like if Leophiles is a fed, you know, I don't think she is, but if you if Leophiles is a fed and you know, all these accusations are are true, then yeah, that should be rooted out and there should be some amount of focus on these things. But for some reason, how these overtake everything, even taking Candace and Ian, Carol and all these people's attention. These are people, all of us, the people like me who have like 30, 40 people that I'm talking to at a time. I don't have a big platform, but I'm doing my part by talking about all these other things.

40:49 And I understand right now I'm talking about the drama and I'm talking all this but it's only a small portion of what I'm talking about here. does even smaller portion of what I talk about on X. Uh, but I I just feel like I needed to talk about it. I'm going to kind of rant about it because I'm feeling kind of ranty right now, I'M FEELING RANTY. ANYH WHO, I think that's the end of what I have to really say about that. I think that's the end of what I have to really say about that because there's actually real happening in the world, guys. There's like real There's scary Okay, there's scary dude. The midterms are coming up.

41:34 And just like in Israel, there's another election going on in Israel. That's very important, right now. And shit's going topsyturvy over in Israel, putting BB in a corner. And when you put BB in a corner, he starts doing nutty like he's facing prison. October 7th happens. You know what I mean? Like that kind of Like that kind of And I can say pretty confidently that we have a very similar type of situation happening here in the United States

42:20 where by all projections, everybody's projections, it seems like Republicans are going to get absolutely wrecked in the midterms on Tuesday. Wrecked. And Trump knows it and it puts him in a very precarious position. And Trump has a history of being a And so we'll see what happens. My prediction is that it is not going to be good. It's not going to be good. So

43:07 there are other things that are going on too like AI is breaking the internet. You know, the thing that we kind of all depend on, the thing that is kind of woven itself into every facet of our world and our lives from our personal lives to the global economy to all of communication to all knowledge that is out there in the world. AI is it all up. AI is it all up, guys. Every single thing touches the internet,

43:54 basically. IoT, the internet of things. Everything's smart now. Everything's connected to the internet. I mean, god damn it. I smoke hash out of this thing. It's connected. This is an IoT device, my guy. This is an IoT device. I mean, all of this All of this Everything IoT. Everything is vulnerable. Everything. Everything is vulnerable. And nothing has been as vulnerable as it was last week with the full PFP thing. Now, I said I was going to do a full live stream about the PFP thing. I don't

44:39 think I have the time. So, what we're going to do is we're going to watch a little bit of stuff from people who've done all the digging, who can explain it much better, and we're going to kind of go through it together. Okay? But I think it's important. I think it's I think it's important because um what are we going to do? What are we going to do when we lose control of the internet? What are we going to do if your internet went down for an hour? What would you do? How would you feel

45:28 having the internet? It's like a warm blanket. You know what I mean? Like on a cold day, it's just there, keeping you warm, keeping you keeping you in the zone, keeping you connected to the world. Most of you use the internet to make a living, even if you don't realize it. You know, like many of you rely on some sort of SAS system that's, you know, relying on the internet. Maybe you're a salesperson. You do you

46:13 use a CRM or, you know, whatever. It's like every job basically has some sort of program or five that you have to use your communication with with other teams or the people on the same team like uh you know using Slack or Discord even. Discord's actually a really great business tool. Like my last three businesses have run 100% through Discord. fact. And also, just take a second, throw a little RIP up in the air for my captain, Sir Patrick Stewart,

47:00 Captain Jeanluke Bard. Very sad about this. I grew up, my grandmother was a full-blown Treky and I was raised by my grandmother and we watched Star Trek the Next Generation. I watched every episode as that of that show when they aired, probably from like the second season on. I love the Next Generation. I think it's the best Star Trek show in all the movie. They had like four movies that went with it as well. They're all great. I saw them all like in theaters. Like I love I love Star Trek. Um particularly Next Generation.

47:46 Uh I watch that show a lot honestly. I haven't probably in a couple years but like or maybe maybe even like a year ago like I was like going in and like watching it every night like falling asleep to it and stuff. It's like great show. Um I really love it. Um, Shawn Luke Bquard is one of the greatest uh uh leader characters ever. Um, and Patrick Stewart uh seemed like a really really awesome guy. He passed today. So, you know, rest rest in peace. Rest in peace, O Captain, my captain. But anyway, anyway, let's get to it. Let's watch this video by Upper Echelon.

48:33 Somebody sent this to me. Who sent this to me? Uh uh I want to make sure. Was it? No. Was it It was Zero. Zero, if you're here, thank you. You were the one that sent this to me and I I actually haven't watched it yet because it just came out. Upper Achelon. He's awesome. We watched his videos uh quite a few times here on the channel and uh he does a great job. It does an incredible job actually. And uh let's watch his video as he explains Black October, which is this PFP thing, which is AI making the internet very vulnerable.

49:21 How's the audio? Because last time the video audio was really low and my audio was really high. Is it is it Let me know if if if you're having any issues. What does an apocalypse look like on the internet? I don't mean like a Carrington event. Super fascinating, by the way. Worth looking into for anyone curious. I don't mean like a Carrington event. I mean, what if there was a multi-week period where the actual plumbing of the web, the code that runs everything you visit, is suddenly declared broken all at once? Because if you were paying attention for the week of October 21st, 2026, that is exactly what you were told. Government websites went dark across Europe. The NSA put out an emergency advisory. Authorities in the US, Europe,

50:06 and Britain recommended that websites go offline. Yet, I I know he just kind of said it really quickly, but you have to understand how insane it is that the NSA came out and said if you use PFP on your website or PHP or whatever, is it PHP or PFP? PHP. If you use PHP on your website, which is I think 75% roughly of every website uses PFP. If you use that, you need to take your website down. you need to reconfigure your and then put it back up. I have never seen that before in my life that the NSA has said that about that many websites. That's nuts. And we weren't the

50:52 only ones. Like multiple countries did this line until they could be patched. Upwards of 15 different countries either took services offline or issued precautionary responses. And AI researchers like this one. Oh yeah, Scotty Wheel is doing I think his first live stream tonight. We're going to get done about then. We're not set up yet to raid. Uh I don't think I could do that. I would love to raid you, Scotty. Uh to get you some viewers, but what I can do is I can, you know, put everybody on uh uh Anka. I'm sure you have um Scotty's YouTube channel. if you can maybe link that in. Uh guys, go give Scotty a

51:37 follow. He's gonna do uh I think his first live stream tonight. Um yeah, and then here here's uh here's the link, guys. I'm going to I'm going to link you up with this upper echelon video that we're about to watch. And I'm also going to throw it in the Discord under other creators content because that's what this is for. So if you're on the Discord, you could be looking at the link.

52:24 Anyway, let's get back to it. We're posting, quote, "Feels like March 1st, 2020 for cyber, as in CO, right before the COVID lockdowns." Quote again, not normal. Something is happening. Internet lockdowns in a couple of months. End quote. Internet lockdowns. Remember that. Mhm. Actually, halfway through writing this, I turned around and realized we have to zoom in on this guy individually because it is relevant later. Joshua Ayam is the former chief futurist of Open AI. He left in July of 2026. I don't know what he does now, nor do I care, but the important fact is that he was highly integrated at Open AI and probably still is. Moving on, they're calling it Black October, and the

53:11 headline number attached to it is 70%. Oh, by the way, by the way, I'm about to do something that I've never done while streaming on YouTube, and I'm doing an experiment to see what I can get away with. Now, I did this on Tik Tok in the early days of Tik Tok and got permanently banned, but uh but this one this one's for Apple juice. This one's for apple juice. and we're going to smoke some hash while watching this on YouTube to see if I get flagged on YouTube. This is my little experiment, guys. This my little experiment. This is my little way of fighting back.

53:57 Anyway, let's get educated because this is really important, guys. as in 70% of the entire internet supposedly exposed wide open to a vulnerability that was found by artificial intelligence. And then on top of all of it, Sam Altman himself, CEO of Open AI, chimes in stating, quote, "I no longer think we're going to be able to patch all the bugs." End quote. It's a pretty beefy narrative, really, when you think about it. The future of the entire internet is supposedly imminently at stake. Here's the part where I have to sort of get real for a second because I pretty much fell for this. I actually ordered freeze-dried supplies, couple solar batteries, stuff like that, which I don't regret, by the way, because I do that kind of stuff regardless. Although

54:42 a little bit of extra of it now, midterms. Still, I did buy into the hype and I was intently reading along with the narratives because if 70% of the entire internet is now wide open and AI is finding holes and breaches invol Apple Juice is one of the followers, one of the chatters. He might be on kick and not YouTube though, but he's awesome. Vulnerabilities faster than humans can ever fill them. There should be wreckage everywhere. There should be breaches, disclosures, lawsuits, filings, and a paper trail. A big one, not even hard to find either. But what we see instead, after going through records and stock charts and GitHub writeups, is that Black October, far beyond simply becoming one of the most damaging events

55:27 in cyber security history, allegedly, may instead be one of the most effectively marketed events in cyber security history. And while it certainly shouldn't be categorized as fake, because it isn't, I want to be really clear about that. The bugs and security lapses are very very real. Although it shouldn't be categorized as fake. The PR campaign blitz that took place was scheduled. Okay, this this is important because what have the AI companies been doing for months now? really the last like 18 months is they've been interjecting these stories with more and more frequency.

56:14 Oh, it starts with like, oh, the AIS were blackmailing their trainers so that they didn't get shut down, right? Uh uh oh, hugging face. Oh, this. Oh, that right. Oh, it's it's going to every everybody's going to lose their jobs. Oh, it's going to kill us all. And they do this because for some reason money pours in to them more because they all need money. They're making an incredible amount of money and losing a catastrophic amount of money.

57:00 And somehow money keeps coming in every time they say it's going to kill us all. Look at these vulnerabilities. Look at these hacks. We didn't do that. It it did it, you know. And so my take on the PHP thing is is is just like upper echelon is saying that it is very important and is very real. It is not fake. I actually think that this is not fake, but it's also like, and I'm sure this is what he's going to say, is that it is also whether it's manufactured or opportunistic,

57:45 the these are these are the types of things that like these companies apparently need are these big grand events of vulnerabilities and And then, you know, AI discovered all these vulnerabilities, but AI might fix it, right? And it's just this narrative playing out, which I actually don't really hate on them for doing. I'm a marketing guy. Like it's not completely honest, but like sometimes you just got to seize on some opportunities, you know, if

58:30 you're making if you're manufacturing the opportunities, that's definitely uh worth all of the criticism. But if you're if if if the things happen and presents opportunities for you to market and to get more returns, you know, all right, do do the damn thing, you know, if that's how you want to handle your business, you know, as long as it's not illegal and like immoral. Danger was booked months in advance by the very same people who are now selling solutions. Let's go to background. The vulnerability itself is called PHP2 Shell. For anyone who isn't aware, PHP is a programming language. It's old, very non-glamorous. You're not going to

59:15 hear people bragging about learning it. It runs quietly in the background all the time, governing enormous portions of the worldwide web. WordPress runs on it, which by itself is a huge chunk of all websites ever. And a lot of government portals, online stores, and forums run on it, too. It's an extremely dominant language. Now, the whole technical details part, which is boring, but necessary. I'll go as fast as humanly possible. On October 21st, PHP released emergency patches for two different flaws. CVE2026 109618 and CVE2026 109619. Got it. Both of these vulnerabilities are rated 9.2 on a scale of 10 in terms of severity. In the most rudimentary terms possible, and please do feel free to correct any of this down below if I butcher it, these bugs can let an attacker run their own code on an affected server without logging in. that

1:00:01 is an RCE vulnerability remote code execution. It's basically the worst category of bug there is. The oldest affected code path according to myriad researchers goes to a previous version of PHP from over a decade ago. So again, to be fair, this was legitimately a serious problem. However, the way that this situation has been presented to the public, which is a lot more akin to something like AI just found a catastrophic flaw in most of the internet and now we're all in perpetual danger always. That's a fair bit closer to how a lot of people have been talking about this. The doomers, the effective altruists, and the rationalist every time recently. The way that this was presented to the public has been massively misrepresented.

1:00:46 Here's how. A cyber security firm called Whiz, remember that name, on October 21st, 2026 published a headline reading, quote, "Php2 shell AI uncovers critical rce vulnerabilities affecting 70% of the internet." End quote. And that framing, the implication that this all just happened all at once in a single week out of nowhere, continued across a bevy of high-profile news sources, security vendors, and social media influencers as well all chimed in and hopped on board. Obviously, we know it's never that simple. So, let's explore. A security firm called Caiff rapidly published a joint explanation of what these exploits were. And the actual timeline of what happened is a completely different picture. It's a sort of comic style infographic from Caiff. Pretty cool,

1:01:32 actually. I think they did a fairly good job explaining it, except for the real story. I actually kind of dig that. That's effective marketing for a certain type of nerd. We have to go back a little bit. August 1st, 2026. Caiff working in direct association with Open AAI and Whiz Incorporated jointly. August 1st is when they initially discovered the bug. Well, the first bug. A researcher puts out a cryptographic hash of the finding, basically timestamping it as a sort of receipt. It's like proof that they had it without revealing what it actually was because it's dangerous. August 11th, I'm about to go really rapid fire, otherwise we'll never get to the good stuff. August 11th, they report the first bug to PHP. August 14th, they hand over a working proof of concept. August 15th, PHP confirms, yes, it works.

1:02:19 August 21st, the second bug is reported, this time by Whiz, who has independently Yo, this is crazy. is what upper echelon is saying right now that there's evidence that these companies and open AI together had been putting together the framework of all of this since early August. Diggity dog. I haven't heard any of this yet. This and this video just came out. Upper Echelon does good work. Upper

1:03:05 Echelon does good work. I've been following this guy for years. Years. At least three years. Maybe even as far back as co honestly. Does great work. This This might be nuts, guys. Strap in. Verified things. And then October 21st is when the patch drops. 81 days, give or take, elapsed between we found a problem and the so-called Black October events. So, so why wait? Like, what's the reason for that? Honestly, it can be normal. It's called coordinated disclosure. You find an exploit, you tell the affected parties privately.

1:03:51 happens with big companies all the time. You fix it and then everyone agrees on a date where they go public about what happened afterwards, which is super normal. It's just good practice because I don't know, it's more secure. But if you want to listen to how Caiff describes the process by which this project got started at the beginning, it is very enlightening. Okay. Quote, "Open AI invited us to join its patch the planet initiative and PHP stood out as a high impact act target. End quote. I know some some of this is confusing, so I'll kind of like tie it all together right now a little bit more. The things that you need to remember are not the dates or the specific, you know, chain of events for the discovery of the vulnerabilities. The thing that you need

1:04:36 to realize that we all need to realize is that OpenAI Whiz and then Caiff were all kind of working together. These are not disconnected entities, you know, third party auditing firms that are coming in to give an objective read of the situation. These are all companies or you know organizations that are in bed together to some degree in some capacity. Anyway, patch the planet is an open AI program and Open AI's own writeup says quote over the past two months we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers and security providers to address critical vulnerabilities in PHP. Also stating quote again Caiff identified a critical flaw using GPT 5.6 6 soul as part of our patch the planet initiative. End quote.

1:05:23 GPT 5.6 soul for anyone wondering is an open AI model. So the AI the AI that found the flaw in 70% of the internet. Okay, massive air quotes around that. The flaw in 70% of the internet because that's really not an accurate characterization. Interesting. The AI belonged to Open AI working inside Open AI's own system on a target that was picked intentionally because it was high impact. Right? This isn't like a random situation that just happened. They did it. It gets so much better from here forward. Black October wasn't just about PHP. It was sold all right to average people as a catastrophic wave of vulnerabilities and

1:06:08 problems. Supposedly, depending on who you listen to, a bunch of things were all breaking at once, and they were in some ways that is true. Something like 16 major incidents. Zero just said, cuz he's watched the whole video. He says, "When you learn who owns Whiz, everything becomes very clear. If you say Peter Thiel to me, dog, if I hear a Peter Thiel in here, brother. It's all piled up in a single week. But according to a recap from Leighton Space, who described these events as a cyber onslaught, okay, like there's a very abrasive rhetoric being used, which then references a user named Joshua

1:06:55 Akiam, the same guy who posted the March 2020 lockdowns line. Apparently, only about four of those roughly 16 incidents actually happened that week. The rest of them were found earlier, much earlier in some cases. And if we just bluntly state the implication of that timeline, suddenly we're not talking about a spontaneous wave of critical exploits. Now we're talking about something much more akin to a coordinated PR release schedule. I mean, that tracks with everything that we've been talking about on this channel. every one of these incidences, you know, I try to like I try to not like hang back a little bit. I don't like to comment too early,

1:07:43 right? I do try to like let it marinate because a lot of this stuff really does go over my head, but I understand marketing and I understand business. And to me, every one of these incidences has felt manufactured. They've just felt manufactured. This is also very much in line with some of the people that I've spoken to on and off stream. This is all very much in line with all the things that we've been talking about that I've been talking about on my live streams with you guys for months now.

1:08:34 The exploits are real. I would do a tremendous disservice to anyone watching by pretending that they're not, but the timing was planned. So why if 70% of the entire internet was exposed wide open rce vulnerable free reign to exploit if that were true in any capacity we would see immediate consequences of it damage would be visible is what I'm saying I've already said it a couple of times and it would be visible in so many different places number one would be probably SEC filings since late 2023 publicly traded companies in the United States have been required to disclose a material cyber security incident within four business days of deciding that it is in fact material. It's a specific filing an 8K under whatever it

1:09:19 doesn't matter. If a hack is bad enough to affect the investors, woe is me, the poor investors, that's when they have to tell you about it. That's when they have to say so. Except nobody is saying anything right now. Of course, to be fair, the four business day clock starts when the company decides that the breach is material, not when it first happens. So yes, it's entirely possible that the exploit has been used in the wild. It certainly has to some extent, right? I'll address that point later. But there is a difference between waves of destruction across enormous portions of the digital world and what we actually got, which is to say basically nothing. The second place we would realistically agree with that, but I don't know if you guys have noticed this.

1:10:05 I mean, those of you who come on and watch my show, uh, you definitely know what we're about to talk about here, but for the last few months, there has been an increasing number of government hacks that have happened. It started in Mexico where somebody vibecoded a way to hack the Mexican government for like every citizen's data. That happened. Uh was it New Zealand maybe a month ago their government got hacked? The FBI got hacked and it's always like uh like the information of employees, agents,

1:10:50 things of that nature. Uh FBI got hacked. Um, uh, uh, Department of War, I believe, got hacked few weeks ago. And then yesterday, hackers unmasked thousands of DHS agents Trump officials tried to keep hidden. Uh, federal agents driving President Donald Trump's deportation crackdown just lost the cover of an anonymity their bosses tried to keep in place. Yes, that's right. I don't know if you've heard about this, but yesterday the DHA the DHS, which houses ICE, just got hacked and they got the they got the um identities. They got the

1:11:35 identities of pretty much every ICE agent. So, you know, upper echelon saying like, "Oh, well, we're not seeing these big things." But I think these are pretty big events. I actually do think that there is some validity to the idea that there are big things happening. Now, he's right. 16 uh you know reported incidences that week for PHP is like not unnormal. That is very normal. That's probably on par with every week of the last year or

1:12:24 two. I think anyway expect to see much more evidence is SISA that's the US cyber security and infrastructure security agency and they maintain a list called the known exploited vulnerabilities catalog on this list we see 109618 and 109619 with unconfirmed status under known to be used in ransomware campaigns but let's just take a big step back right now and seriously consider that there should be a bevy of reports now unfolding at a break neck speed, thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps even far more than that, especially if 70% of the internet is legitimately vulnerable to this. And yet here we are, barring a series of

1:13:10 very short-lived disruptions, while patches were deployed right after disclosure, everything is pretty much operating unchanged at the moment. Responses on the ground are also consistent. NVISO, a European security firm, wrote on October 23rd, quote, "As of 23rd October 2026, there are active PHP2 shell exploitation attempts without evidence of successful compromise." End quote. Security Week reported that the proof of concept exploits, which are floating around online, were not achieving code execution. Patch Stack, a firm that monitors WordPress websites, in a live update, said, "Shortly after PHP's update, our telemetry shows only probing attacks with no hard evidence of breaches yet." And honestly, at this point in 2026, I get it. Like,

1:13:57 the internet was built on WordPress, but if you're still making WordPress websites in 2026, diggity dog, what the are you doing? What are you doing? That's like when you're rubbing sticks together to start a fire. The is going on? You're making WordPress websites. It's because a lot of the website and listen, WordPress is great. It's great. It's fantastic. Built the internet. Love that. It's antiquated at this point. The problem is is too many websites that have been around a long time were made on that platform and it's hard to switch over because you can't switch platforms.

1:14:42 But I think everybody should I think everybody should. They don't want lose all the years of backlinks and the blah blah blah blah blah and all the SEO and I get that. I get that. But you got these old ass vulnerable ass websites and this is going to be incredibly vulnerable very soon if not right now. I do actually think that that's true, but I think Echelon is making a pretty good case that this Black October is a coordinated strategic marketing event." End quote. This live update has yet to

1:15:27 be overturned by them, as far as I know, as of scripting. Also, in fairness, patch stack logged an entry saying hosting partners had reported multiple active exploitation incidents with no further details. And whatever, none of this actually matters. So, I'm not going to pretend that there was absolutely nothing going on. Okay, Black October, the name came from somewhere. There was a lot happening in a chaotic way. Cloudflare saw attempted attacks from all of this go from thousands before the announcement to millions quote unquote millions within roughly 12 hours of everything which is not a good thing at all. Okay, none of these are good things. No, but these are attempts not necessarily successful. And because the patch came at the same moment as the announcement or very very quickly afterwards, people

1:16:12 were actively locking things down down during the danger window. This part is a little bit funny. The biggest risk during Black October had nothing to do with AI discovering the exploits. It happened because someone decided to leak them on the Y Combinator forums initially 2 days before the coordinated disclosure. I'm not entirely sure if that exacerbated or mitigated the is that our Peter Thiel connection. We'll see level of panic. But it is worth noting obviously the plan was to release everything jointly together on October 22nd, but on October 20th the two CVE numbers started circulating online. Whoever this person was, they genuinely knew what was coming and they

1:16:57 leaked it. I'm not saying they did it intentionally even, but Caiff themselves ended up leaking details on the 20th by posting a literal video of the exploit. Obviously, I won't show an archive of that footage. It's a critical exploit, but a lot of people somehow managed to make it right up until the predetermined deadline for disclosure and then multiple of them simultaneously botched it horribly in a way that seemingly made everything worse. The PHP Foundation publicly somehow blamed a supply chain company called the Chain Guard for breaking embargo. Personally, I'm not entirely sure that they're even all that relevant. This is a really confusing situation in a lot of ways, but according to Amazon, the very first exploitation attempt that they witnessed happened on October 17th. What I'm

1:17:44 trying to say is that the window of danger for this exploit wasn't really created by AI. It was created by people as they tried to control the story. Now we get to and this has been the story of AI or the backstory of AI. Okay. So, let's go back a year, give or take, maybe 10 months, whatever, when Open Claw was a thing, right? And then there was all this talk, right? Because now this is AI agents. Well, you can have agents. The agents, what what

1:18:30 are they doing? Oh, they're creating religions. Oh, they're they're they're they've they've they're they're hiring humans to do things for them. Oh. Oh, they're they're they're they're talking to each other. They made their own Facebook. It's called Molt Book. You can you can view it as a human and you can look and see how the what the AI agents are talking to and saying to each other because for some reason AIs that would be talking to each other would be talking in English. They would be talking to each other not through binary code which is the

1:19:15 perfect language through English. And why are some of these marketing things? Because what they found out within about a week got exposed that molt book was yes AI agents but AI agents that were prompted to do the things that they were doing because AI agents don't work autonomously and with deceptive goals. AI does or tries to do what you tell it.

1:20:00 I've talked to AI trainers. I have talked to people from the AI world on and off camera. I have also done an incredible amount of research. And I still sometimes think I might be wrong about this, but I'm fairly certain that it is true that AI does not act autonomously of its own valition for its own goals. I don't think there's any evidence of that. And every time we're seeing that all these rogue agents are really people every time.

1:20:46 So it's really starting all the doomerism comes from cults. All the doomer events are seemingly manufactured. So what the are we actually afraid of when it comes to AI now? And why should we be outside of maybe like resource issues which we still have don't have a better a great understanding of we should be our if our government is going to be putting all this infrastructure and all the things into this maybe we should be also getting an understanding of what sort of resource allocation we need for this and how much stress does that put on the humans that live here.

1:21:32 We should understand that and we should put the effort and energy into that. But Doge probably ripped apart the department that would have done that because that's what Doge does. It's really annoying. Either spiral off in a random direction for 15 minutes or stay grounded. And because I typically do indulge that kind of tangent, I'll do it again here briefly. There is a company out there in the world that most people have never heard of, at least not before October of 2026, called E-Mudra. Emudra is a certificate authority. For anyone who isn't aware, certificate authorities are basically companies that vouch for websites. It's about verification that the pages you visit online are actually the correct pages

1:22:18 essentially. And during Black October, October 17th to be exact, notice all the different dates that line up. Right in the middle of Black October, 3 days before the premature disclosure of PHP2 Shell, a security researcher reported to Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla that eight of Emra's intermediate certificates had private keys generated with quote insufficient randomness end quote. That sounds a little bit abstract, but the gist of it pretty simple. Emudra is one of the companies in charge of encryption, security, verification, right? Big important concepts and these are very heavy burdens to bear. The keys that they generate are supposed to look like this.

1:23:03 Difficult to crack a certain number of randomized digits. You know, complicated. Emra was using this. That is one of the most avoidable problems you can possibly imagine. And yet this high-powered security company from Bangalaroo, India, instead of a complex encryption key used the number four. Yes, the number four. They also did something similar with multiple other keys as well like the number 115. But the motivation behind talking about this in the first place is to reinforce the idea that the week surrounding October 21st was a doom spiral. Black October, for 70% of the entire internet after the worst week in cyber security history, people were holding up this graph here, myself included, in horror as they grapple with the idea that AI

1:23:49 could possibly render the entire world of cyber security obsolete. Right? It was a difficult time. Of course, that mindset, the mindset of unknown danger, is being amplified everywhere, and you don't have to look very far to find one of its chief architects. Sam Alman, CEO of OpenAI, has now famously said while speaking to Stanford Graduate School of Business on October 21st, the same exact time frame when all of this was occurring. He said, quote, I no longer think we're going to be able to just patch all the bugs. this cyber security I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use but the problem coming towards us I think is still some something that we have not as organizational leaders or countries or individuals taken seriously

1:24:36 end quote we haven't taken it seriously enough according to him that is the stated opinion of the CEO attempting to take his for-profit company public at the time or soon very interesting except all of this is incomplete. Everything is connected down below. Patch the planet, the program that found the bug in the first place, one of them, is part of a larger Open AI product family called Daybreak, which OpenAI describes themselves as quote tools for securing every organization in the world. End quote. Open AAI's own page lists patch the planet as a quote daybreak initiative. So, the same company whose model found the flaw, whose CEO said, "We can't patch all the bugs anymore,"

1:25:23 is also launching the very same tools that you'll supposedly need to patch the bugs because we can't patch all the bugs. It's We're taking a little break here. We need to breathe a little bit. Zero says, "Buckle up. We're about to get going. I feel I smell it. I'm feeling it in my bones what we're about to I already know, but we're going to let it go, baby. Sorry. Shout out Shout out to Upper Echelon and his team. Holy dude.

1:26:12 Woo! We got six more minutes. It's genius. Oh, yeah. And then there's Whiz. Remember Whiz? The company with 70% of the internet as a headline and the siren emoji. Apparently, Whiz independently found one of the bugs, too. Just uh just a little problem here. Whiz isn't an independent little research shop. As of March 11th, 2026, not that long ago, Whiz is owned by Google, purchased for $29.5 billion. Hear me out, okay? The two loudest voices behind Black October with the whole AI found a critical flaw in 70% of the internet style narrative, the two loudest voices in inarguably sparking the entire panic wave really were Open

1:26:58 AI and Google. Coincidentally, two of the same companies who are currently selling the most AI products and increasingly the most AI cyber security products. H actually almost the entire cyber security industry got a stock bump on this. Zcaler, Crowdstrike, PaloAlto Networks, Cloudflare, all sorts of other vendors, many of them exacerbating the panic in the process, found themselves in a perfect position to capitalize on it, which is what we call a conflict of interest. No, not our No, no, not our guys. Not these guys. They They wouldn't do that. They

1:27:44 wouldn't do that. I'm shocked. Black October is an emotional headline. It's an impulsive name for a turbulent time where the feeling itself was manufactured seemingly by the very same companies that profit from it. The bugs were found in August. The date was predetermined far in advance. The wave of exploits and vulnerabilities was majority old discoveries released in synchronization together. And the impending damage doesn't appear to exist, at least not yet. Meanwhile, the people who found it are selling the cure, the Daybreak product line. and the people who leaked it seem to be the security industry itself. I do hope that all makes sense. It kind of feels rambly as I read it off from

1:28:29 the script right now, but whatever. One last thing, I am not intending to fully diminish these exploits. In fact, someone actually decided to test it in the wild with well, not really in the wild, I guess, in a controlled experiment with real money, giving the clearest indication so far of the actual danger. So on October 25th, a website appeared called Steal My Bitcoin funded with about $500 that went up to $2,000 in the end as a prize. The website was breached supposedly in 19 hours. The money was taken using the PHP exploit. It was going to be a different wallet that they had to disperse the rewards from. It was it was racked with issues, right? It but this means the danger is real. The PHP vulnerability was used in this competition. And even more

1:29:15 critically, the website had severe connection issues on top of multiple alleged design flaws for the first portion of the challenge to a point where I guess the challenge was not actually even technically possible allegedly until 17 hours in. If you follow this story closely, and some of it I still do not understand. Cryptography is a hell of an industry. But if you follow closely and you know take a baseline temperature read of the situation, some estimates are placing the total time taken to beat the challenge at actually just 2 hours, which if true, is a genuinely terrifying prospect. Most angles of attack for this issue, at least when it comes to average users who experience the internet with Chrome or Safari or whatever, don't

1:30:01 stress out, okay? It's going to be okay. Black October really doesn't affect you. Most angles of attack here have been closed, but industrial systems, aging technology companies, all sorts of social hubs, stuff that hasn't been maintained well, those are all genuinely at risk until patch, which is exactly what I was just saying. My was talking about WordPression is this Black October was a marketing stunt. The exploits are real and the danger is real to a degree. But the coordinated headlines, vague inflammatory breadcrumbs, and the synchronized atmosphere of the danger that we saw crop up all at once, that was a security promo. And if you're losing money, hand overfist, right? They're not making money, they're losing money. All of these AI companies all day, every day. If that's happening, and you can launch a new security product

1:30:47 and then tell the world everything's doomed and then make a bunch of money on your new AI security product, why would you not do that? I love my metaphors, so I'll use one again here. Selling bolt cutters, padlocks, and blank keys all at the same time as your primary product lines while advertising how easy it is to break in and how big the crime wave is about to be. That's what Open AI is doing. It's diabolical. Black October ultimately is a massively overexaggerated corporate spin session with elements of the truth if you know where to look. Certainly. However, it is decisively not a crippling blow to 70% of the entire internet, which is what we were explicitly told. That's it. If you want to support the channel, check out the link.

1:31:32 Goddamn upper echelon. Okay, so let's recap. Let's recap what Upper Echelon spent 20 something minutes explaining is the coordinated structured nearly threemonth project that became Black Friday or black October, sorry, became Black October

1:32:20 that it is nothing more than another one of these doomer marketing stunts. And that's what's happening. And it is all right there in this video. And I just think that these sorts of events are going to happen with more and more frequency. And it is going to be

1:33:05 honestly to a point like most everything right now. It just feels like we're so bombarded with manufactured narrative just to a point that it is no longer effective. that it literally nobody cares. And then we just become apathetic to the world around us. We reject

1:33:51 all of it because it's all It's like it's like for me I don't gamble, right? Like I was in Vegas less than two weeks ago. Um I was hanging out in the casino for a while. I did not put a single scent down, right? Because when I enter a casino, I understand the game. I understand what's going on. This is not designed for me to statistically walk out of here with more money. Some people get to. Most people do not.

1:34:40 So, why would I enter into this, right? Why would I enter into this? Because I know it's I know it's meant to take something from me. So I'm not going to engage. And that's what's happening to us in every aspect of our life. Everything is doom. Everything is catastrophe. Everything is just sigh up. Sigh up. Sc up. Sc up. Sigh up. And at first you're like, "Okay." You're ducking and weaving. You're juking them.

1:35:28 But after a while, you're just like, "Dude, I just like don't even I can't just It's just smacking you in your face. You're just like, "Whatever, dude. Like, I just don't I don't care anymore." And that's the tactic. Flood the zone. And they flood the zone with scops. They flood the zone with doom. They flood the zone with narrative that is nowhere even remotely close to reality. What do you think it's like living in Israel? Probably lot like that, isn't it? Like it's just like we're in these big experiments.

1:36:16 Everything is a test to see what we'll push back on and what we won't. If we do, how do we push back? And is that push back going to be effective? Everything feels like a test. And so, like, what are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to do? I don't really doom out on the AI stuff because I care enough about it to learn. I think that I've watched transformational technology uh just

1:37:01 absolutely change the world around me. I'm a millennial, so I'm lucky in that I've seen it happen a few times now. and I can be here, you know, to talk to you about my perspective from it. And so I learn and I learn a lot and I'm talking to people and I'm, you know, I'm trying to get a handle on the situation so that I can report it back to you guys and maybe we can all look at it together and and, you know, come together to our own solutions or our own conclusions even. Um, I don't know what the solutions are.

1:37:47 But this, I think, is better than just being like, "Well, AI's going to kill us all, right?" Because that's that's what they want. They just want like apathy, dude. I just don't want to be apathetic. And it's it really feels that it that it's it's designed for apathy. Yes, Fletch. These tactics are not new, right? They're not new. They're not. I mean, I haven't said this name in a while, but Yuri Brezmanov ideological subversion, right?

1:38:32 This is something that takes decades. It could even take generations. complete ideological subversion. And you can do similar sort of tactics way more targeted, especially now with social media and everything. And we're so hopelessly dependent on all of this. And so it makes it difficult to untether ourselves from it because we're kind of can't like I said before internet of things the internet is woven into the fabric of

1:39:20 our society. Do you want to be a part of society? You have to be on the internet. You have to interact with all these things and you will have to act. You have to interact with AI. You will have to interact with AI. That is absolutely your future. No matter how resistant to it you are. I know so many people resistant to the internet. I knew so many people resistant to social media. Guess what? They all use the internet. Guess what? They all have a Facebook now and they're in a cult. Every one of them. So you can't escape it.

1:40:06 can't untether yourself from it. So what do we do? I don't know what we do, but I know the first step is educating ourselves on it on what it is. What whatever the it is that it is that we're talking about, right? It's just good. It's good to it's good to do. It's good to learn this whole thing, doing the Discord, the website, YouTube videos, all of this stuff. I'm doing it because that's what I think is the best way I could use my skills to get people educated and talking about these things. And so more

1:40:52 people can get educated and talk about these things. So more people can get educated and talk about these things because that is the first step. The first step is education and awareness. Education and awareness. Education and awareness. Right? Same thing that we did when when I was out there advocating for uh progressive cannabis laws in multiple different states. You know is what you do. So that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to talk to you guys about this stuff and learn together. I learned all of this stuff with you guys right now.

1:41:37 And I think that there's power in that. It's why I pushed Ian Carol to do this. Do research streams. I told him like do research streams, man. People want to get into that world and understand how you do research. Learn along with you. It's a It's a powerful format. That's what I'm trying to do here. You know, we're going to have fun. We're going to you know, we're going to talk and we're going to do all that other stuff that is like is just me being me. But this is this is this is the format. This is what it is. I don't know what to do. But I do know that we got to educate ourselves better.

1:42:22 I think we are all better for now understanding that Black October and this AI internet doomerism is a manufactured marketing stunt by basically Google and Open AI. I'm glad I understand that now, you know. Anyh who, I got to go walk my dogs and eat some dinner.

1:43:11 I hope you guys have a great evening. I hope you guys learned something. Uh, please join the Discord. It's awesome. It's free. There's also perks and, you know, community benefits and helping the community grow. If you do want to come on as a premium member, it's super cheap. You know, it just basically is so I could put more money into the Discord so that we can have a better time together, right? That's that's it. Um, go hit kevinishum.com. All of my websites are now active through there. You can get on to the

1:43:56 Discord from there. You can read the transcripts. You can have a better YouTube experience and it all helps me. Um, so get on to kevinishum.com the Discord. Uh, Marines Blood just put it up on kick, but uh, you'll find it on all of my platforms. I'm adding it I'm adding invite links to everything. I still got to, you know, uh, I'm going to update like some YouTube stuff and I still got a bunch of stuff on the checklist that I'm working on. But that said, come join the Discord. come join a cool ass community. Uh go hit my website. You can watch my lives through there now.

1:44:42 And uh yeah, and it just it just all helps. I appreciate all of your help. Um just know that like over here, I don't take any of you for granted. I appreciate you guys so much. And yeah, and whatever you do,
