| James Mason and the creation of Siege, Binance hacked, recent ZANO price review | 01 Nov 2026 | 01:19:28 | |
A return to the show's crypto roots, bookended by the two biggest stories of the week. First the host closes out the episode-43 accelerationism series with two biographical segments: James Mason, the American national socialist who joined the movement at 14, was talked out of a school murder plot by Turner Diaries author William Pierce, served time for assault, fell under Charles Manson's influence via the Universal Order, and turned his Siege newsletter into the leaderless-resistance playbook later revived on Iron March and adopted by Atomwaffen Division. Then Nick Land: the Warwick philosopher of cosmic horror and cybernetics, the CCRU and "hyperstition," the amphetamine-fuelled collapse, the Shanghai reinvention, and The Dark Enlightenment's descent into anti-egalitarian "hyper-racism." The host treats both as the intellectual plumbing behind 764 and the Com, and argues — against the record — that Mason's child-exploitation conviction may have been planted by "the ops" to discredit him, comparing it to the pattern he claims around Andrew Tate and January 6 defendants. A shorter segment covers Chainalysis itself being breached by an "AI agent." Closes with a downbeat Zano post-mortem — the gateway-address flaw, 36.9M illicitly minted coins plus 1.8 quadrillion Freedom Dollars, the month-long rollback, and a ~380% slide to ~$3 — and a pledge to hold the bag rather than sell at a loss. Ends with season-one housekeeping: six episodes left, a better mic, and interviews planned for season two. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.

| Nihilistic Accelerationism | 30 Oct 2026 | 01:14:59 | |
A long-form monologue built around a 31-page counter-extremism report, arguing that online platforms — Discord above all — are incubators for radicalisation and child exploitation. The host splits the topic into two strands he says analysts now track together: militant neo-fascist accelerationism (Atomwaffen Division, The Base, Feuerkrieg Division, Terrorgram Collective), which wants societal collapse as a route to a white ethno-state, and the FBI's newer "nihilistic violent extremism" category applied to 764, the Com, and No Lives Matter, which groom minors — mostly girls 10–17 — into self-harm, sextortion, CSAM, and animal cruelty streamed as content. He walks through the FBI's ~350 open subjects across 56 field offices, Terrorgram's designations and prosecutions, the "saints culture" and kill-count scoreboards, infrastructure targeting, the true-crime/Columbiner fandom, and the platform pipeline (X and Reddit for targeting, Telegram for coordination, Discord for grooming and live broadcasting). He calls for Discord to be investigated and held liable, for parents of offending minors to be charged, and cites Telegram CEO Pavel Durov's French detention as a model.

| Nicaragua now owned by China and Russia | 28 Oct 2026 | 01:38:26 | |
In this episode, the host examines the intertwined histories of U.S. intervention in Central America and Israeli involvement, focusing on Nicaragua's political trajectory from the Somoza dictatorship through the Sandinista revolution to Daniel Ortega's current authoritarian rule.

| Commentary Reaction to Leah Files: Glacier Privacy App Controversy | 23 Oct 2026 | 01:14:35 | |
In this episode, the host breaks down a major controversy involving podcaster Shawn Ryan and his promoted privacy app "Glacier," exposing concerning connections between influencer marketing, government contractors, and surveillance technology. The episode centers on journalist/content creator of "Leah Files" who appeared on the Shawn Ryan Show on July 27th under restrictive conditions - told beforehand she couldn't name names of "surveillance state founders." Shortly after recording, Ryan announced Glacier, a privacy app priced at $14.99/month that sells burner numbers for $5 each. Leah conducted an investigative deep dive tracing the money behind Glacier, revealing:

| eMudhra: The Certificate Authority whose private key is "4"; Chinese AI models target Western companies with insecure generated code; Tor's 333 exit nodes infected with ebury; Claude discovers origin of NIST curve seeds; Privacy Coins by ARKM | 22 Oct 2026 | 01:16:43 | |
Today's tech-focused episode covers the eMudhra Certificate Authority breach in India and the "ebury" info stealer infecting over 300 Tor exit nodes. We'll explain what certificate authorities do for web security, analyze the current breach situation, and investigate how compromised exit nodes enable credential theft. The investigation began when someone noticed SSH fingerprint changes indicating man-in-the-middle attacks while connecting to familiar servers.

| Thanks to the listeners of Wylie, TX; Japanese folklore behind Tengu; Who is really pulling the strings of this Administration? The Lesson of Divide & Conquer; White communities and "The Talk"; Shawn Ryan/Leah files drama; Lutnick's ties to Cantor | 21 Oct 2026 | 01:21:59 | |
The host dives into a whirlwind of conspiracy theories and political commentary, covering the Epstein emails investigation and DOJ's alleged doxing of trafficking victims, claims of media suppression around the Kirk assassination, the Ukrainian war being framed as a manufactured refugee crisis, Jared Kushner's ties to Israeli and Russian networks via openAI funding, and the business dealings of defense-tech influencers like Sean Ryan. A central fable—"The Farmer, the Dead Pig, and the Rats"—frames the episode's theme of manufactured division, followed by a reading of John Derbyshire's racially charged "talk" essay and a profile of Howard Lutnik's 9/11 survival and subsequent Cabinet role amid Epstein-associated scrutiny.

| Could I interest you in my 28 day articulation training? A look at the life of Christopher Hitchens; time to talk about TEEs; Israeli's ad-tech company behind mercenary spyware | 20 Oct 2026 | 01:07:59 | |
Episode covers three main topics: Christopher Hitchens tribute — The host opens with a clip of Hitchens criticizing organized religion, then runs through his biography: his socialist origins, the post-9/11 shift to neoconservatism, his 2003 Iraq War support, his "Four Horsemen of New Atheism" role with God Is Not Great (2007), his memoir Hitch-22 (2010), his esophageal cancer diagnosis and refusal to convert, and his death in December 2011. Hitchens's "Razor" (unevidenced claims can be dismissed) and his waterboarding stunt for Vanity Fair are highlighted as signature moments. Adfection / Citizen Lab spyware exposé — The host summarizes a Citizen Lab report showing how an Israeli company (referred to as "Discover Tech," linked to NSO Group through board member Ehud Barak) used Google, Microsoft, and Yandex ad-tech infrastructure to deliver 0-click malware to targeted users, including Al Jazeera journalists. The mechanism: fake ads served as code blobs to uniquely-identified users, requiring no clicks. The host explains watering-hole attacks as an analogy, criticizes surveillance-based advertising as inherently insecure, and calls for ad blockers and JavaScript-free browsing as defensive measures. TEEs and Private AI skepticism — The host critiques trusted execution environments (Intel SGX, AMD SEV, AMD TDX) as a foundation for privacy tools like Confer. A cited paper by Alin Tomescu (MIT) catalogs remote attestation forgery bugs, physical extraction attacks, and liveness failures across SGX/TDX/SEV platforms since 2018. The conclusion: don't entrust valuable secrets to TEEs, especially when physical access is in your threat model. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.

| Cringe RiseGuide articulation training videos; Gittin 57a; falling cross deletes Catholic priest during mass livestream in Ecuador; Trump potentially to run as Israel PM? | 19 Oct 2026 | 01:15:51 | |
This episode dives headfirst into the absurd landscape of modern media and culture wars, featuring a series of controversial clips and cultural commentary. The episode opens with a heated discussion about a clip where a guest uses ebonics speech patterns, leading to accusations of self-deprecation and debates about linguistic authenticity. Our host grapples with the complexities of racial discourse, questioning whether the speaker is performing irony or genuine ignorance. Moving beyond the racial dynamics, the episode explores bizarre news stories including a priest killed by a falling cross during mass in Ecuador, analyzed through a conspiratorial lens. | |||
| Genius style commentary reaction to Scrim's Baptised in Ash; OpenCode breached; HEX PulseChain founder finally arrested by Europol; reaction to Mallers outrageous self-custody claims; Saudi national accused of insider espionage at OpenAI | 18 Oct 2026 | 01:26:29 | |
Episode 36: Scrim's "Baptised in Ash" lyrics dissected (pedo justice, drug sobriety themes); OpenCode breach exposed 14k users' API keys stolen from a legacy system—attackers used them to distill AI models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google; Richard James Schuler (Hex/PulseChain founder) arrested in Turkey for $400M+ tax fraud and assaulting a 16-year-old; Saudi engineer Al-Zarnawi (MIT grad) planted bugs at OpenAI for Saudi intelligence; host's rant against Bitcoin Maxis and self-custody advice; project teased: secure comms tool for those who understand surveillance capitalism.

| Podcasters Cut: Building in Public - Why I'm Making My Own Secure Communication Suite | 16 Oct 2026 | 00:59:54 | |
This one's a little different. After a stretch of news-and-commentary episodes, I'm a bit spent on reacting to headlines, so for episode 35 I'm putting on my builder's cap and talking about something I'm actually making. That something is a secure, private communication suite: a messenger built around the design philosophy of enterprise communication platforms and encrypted messengers, but with the anti-surveillance, anti-censorship, and censorship-resistance principles baked in from the very first commit instead of bolted on later. There's no product to announce yet — we're not at v1, and I'm deliberately holding back the specifics. But there is a why, and it's worth walking through. This episode covers where the idea came from, the privacy philosophy driving the design, and a long, candid read-through of the Session Messenger whitepaper — the document that changed my mind about recommending Session. If you've ever wanted to hear the messy, boring, in-progress part of building a privacy product, this is that episode.

| The Dearborn Independent: How the Federal Reserve was created; Former IDF soldiers run child trafficking ring in Colombia; Matthew Arndt's viral crashout aftermath | 11 Oct 2026 | 01:11:38 | |
Episode 34 is a clip show. Cryptowires plays a handful of audio clips and reacts to each one, with commentary in between. Segments include: Henry Ford and the Federal Reserve. The first clip revisits Henry Ford's reputation, the publication of the Dearborn Independent, the lawsuits that followed, and claims about the origins and purpose of the Federal Reserve, plus Ford's opposition to U.S. entry into World War II. Paul Buchanan on Congress and foreign lobbying. An archived clip of political commentator Paul Buchanan arguing that Congress is unable to stand up to pro-Israel lobbying, tied back to foreign aid spending and Israeli bond purchases discussed in Episode 33. Reaction to the Jake Shields / Annie Altman interview. A full review of the recent interview, including discussion of Sam Altman, Tucker Carlson's questioning of him, and Jared Kushner's brother's involvement in OpenAI's for-profit restructuring. The host's verdict: a soft-ball interview that missed its opportunities. Matthew Arndt, Green Party candidate for Wisconsin's 6th Congressional District. The biggest story of the episode: Arndt's arrest following a road-rage confrontation, the hate-crime enhancement he faces, a reading of his campaign site (endthecartel.com) and its "America Only" platform, plus Arndt's own response video and an upcoming interview with Scott Free that the host will cover next episode. Child predator sting operations. A viral clip from an independent sting operation, commentary on the work of amateur predator catchers, and the question of how often these incidents go unreported. The 2018 Colombia trafficking sting. A look back at a sting that targeted Israeli nationals on tourist visas, whether the case was ever fully prosecuted, and what happens to these networks after they're dismantled. Plus: a note on podcast distribution — why some platforms take 24–48 hours to post new episodes — and a request that listeners follow the show on their platform of choice rather than streaming from the web.

| Jake Shields interviews Annie Altman (OpenAI CEO's sister), Tor and privacy technologies as psyops, Ledger reseller ships backdoored hardware wallets, set your calendar for the first ever live-streamed execution in the US! | 10 Oct 2026 | 01:13:42 | |
Israel/Gaza commentary: Claims Netanyahu knew of the October 7 attack in advance and issued a stand down order to retain power, citing Israeli official accounts saying the event "fast tracked" plans by 20 years. Frames it as "never let a good crisis go to waste." Says he'll save a related sound bite for a later episode. Annie Altman / Sam Altman: Notes Jake Shields interviewed Annie Altman that day (Fight Back podcast on Rumble). Background on Sam Altman's 2023 ouster from OpenAI, his sister's sexual assault allegations against him, and former colleagues' characterizations of him. Says mainstream outlets aren't covering it because of Microsoft's stake in OpenAI. Says he hasn't watched the interview yet, will reserve judgment, and plans to react to it on episode 34. "The Dark Web is a Psyop" (video by We're in Hell): Tor's origins at the U.S. Naval Research Lab; the argument that Tor was deliberately popularized among non-spy users to give spies cover; government funding of Tor via the Broadcasting Board of Governors and Open Technology Fund; Yasha Levine's FOIA-obtained emails showing a cozy relationship between Tor developers and federal agencies; Jacob Appelbaum's role and misconduct allegations; NSA's "egotistical giraffe" program and the honeypot argument; Silk Road/Ross Ulbricht. The video's thesis — that the real problem is cybernetics/individualist tech solutions replacing political ones — plus the host's own take: Tor is probably surveyable, VPNs are "glorified proxies" that keep logs and will comply with subpoenas, and the same honeypot logic could apply to Monero. Also muses that filing a FOIA request on yourself would flag you to the government. Ledger wallet scam: Reports on Ledger investigating lost funds from users in Southeast Asia who bought devices from reseller CryptoBillis, which allegedly backdoored hardware. Ledger has asked the reseller to pause sales; users who bought in the last 90 days are advised not to set up the device, and those who did should move assets to a new device. Host's position: he doesn't pity the victims — buy from official channels only, shipping cost is an investment in protecting your funds. Proton and age verification: Reads a TechRadar piece on Proton's new interactive map tracking the spread of age verification laws (18 European countries, 49 US states with proposals, 27 with implemented checks). Criticizes Proton CEO Andy Yen for decrying identification requirements while Proton takes credit card payments, and criticizes privacy_guides for favorable coverage of Proton. Nidal Malik Hasan execution live stream (main story): Pentagon confirmed the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live streamed December 3 at 1pm local. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the public should be able to watch. Host reads background on Hasan — his religious devotion, his ideological reasoning, his MD and psychiatry residency at Walter Reed, his 2013 court martial conviction — then works through a Washington Post article on the story. Host supports televised capital punishment in principle and questions why Hasan was chosen as the first case, speculating his religion played a role, and floats (as a joke/conspiracy take) that the stream could be a test of AI video generation.

| SpaceX's spectrum play, Sri Lankan national sentenced to death for Facebook comment under Sharia Law, Japan named #1 travel destination, KKK rebrands to the Knights Party | 09 Oct 2026 | 01:08:19 | |
In this episode: Life update & why episodes slowed down — recovering from a cold, and an honest breakdown of what it actually takes to produce the show: ~2.5–3 hours of unpaid work per episode (recording, editing, M4A→WAV conversion, transcripts, research via Titan Terminal), plus the future of the podcast — it may not make it past 50 episodes/season one without funding. Platform & tooling gripes — the automatic "send me a voicemail" link added to show notes, an auto-converted paid subscription he had to cancel, why he built his own free voicemail feature instead, and a rant on PayPal being a blocker for paid ads (with a nod to crypto/stablecoin payouts for creators). SpaceX's spectrum play — SpaceX moves to acquire 800 MHz of nationwide spectrum from EchoStar, aiming to become a major US carrier by blending Starlink direct-to-cell with terrestrial networks. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon shares slid after hours. Why US carriers are mediocre and Starlink is often the only real option in some areas. Saudi Arabia: death sentence over a Facebook comment — a 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker sentenced to death for allegedly blasphemous online speech, shifting from cybercrime law to Sharia law. Discussion of "when in Rome," free-speech norms, and why deportation/fines beat execution. Blanc browser — a lightweight, minimal Chromium browser with built-in ad blocking; plus a mention of Ladybird's upcoming release. Japan named #1 country for a 4th straight year — Conde Nast Readers' Choice results, record tourism (42.7M visitors), and some candid opinions on travel, consumerism and local issues. KKK rebranding — Al Jazeera's report on the Knights Party re-centering its message around family and faith, the state of white-nationalist movements in the US, controlled opposition, and commentary on the broader political landscape. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.

| On addiction, the state of podcasting, censored voices, Christianity is a psyop and anti-White, Anthropic hacks hard to attribute to Chinese actors, Latin America goes right, treasonous ex-CIA official stashes 300 gold bars and runs real estate scam | 07 Oct 2026 | 01:01:01 | |
Addiction The show opens on addiction: one of the only things you can actually improve as you get older. Better health, feeling better, caring about your body, no longer destroying yourself with alcohol. The line — don't hate the addict, hate the addiction — and quitting as a project entirely in your control. The State of Podcasting He takes aim at YouTube podcasters raking in six figures for sponsored junk, contrasting them with creators he respects: Devon Stacks of Black Pilled and HT of GTV. He'd rather listen to someone who says what he thinks than a "liar in a suit" giving false hope. Mainstream media and entertainment are dead; all that's left is independent commentary. Smear Campaigns and Censored Voices News outlets smearing figures like HT only hand them more publicity. That rolls into his rule: he's only interested in censored voices — why else would someone be deplatformed? He wishes figures like Andrew Anglin weren't so suppressed, and warns the censorship apparatus will eventually turn on everyone, invoking the post-9/11 playbook of never letting a good disaster go to waste. Recommends: Blackpilled, Mad at the Internet, HT/GTV. Religion & Politics A deliberately provocative stretch on modern Christianity, Zionism, identity and political loyalty, plus rants about a former favorite commentator who lost him over Epstein-adjacent merch and downplaying Israel's involvement in the Charlie Kirk assassination — called controlled opposition, with his fanbase mocked for coping. Chinese Hackers Impersonating Anthropic Staff Chinese-linked actors (TA419, per Proofpoint) impersonating Anthropic researchers and former officials to socially engineer AI policy experts — benign invites and booby-trapped documents harvesting cloud credentials. Wires is skeptical of attribution, noting indicators can be planted, Stuxnet-style. Bottom line: humans are the weakest link. Latin America's Right Turn The left losing its streak since USAID was dismantled, crediting DOGE and Trump/Rubio. Brazil leads: Flavio Bolsonaro beating the incumbent 47%–45%, the family sweeping every race, the Liberal Party nearly doubling Senate seats. Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras and Costa Rica moved right. His take: not right enough, the NGOs just moved under black-budget funding — plus a tangent on cartels and Mexico's Sheinbaum. Messi's Farewell Messi's final cap: a goal and two assists in a 3-0 win over Benin before 85,000 at the Monumental, a "Gracias" banner in Rosario, a drone show, dedicating his career to his country and late father. Wires only really watches World Cups. The Gold Bars: Ex-CIA Officer David J. Rush The headline story. Rush pleaded guilty in Alexandria to wire fraud carrying up to 20 years — schemes topping $193 million. He created a fake classified program to buy ~$1.45M in South Florida real estate, ran $1.8M in government-paid charter flights, and stashed ~300 gold bars in his basement — plus he disclosed a human source's identity to a foreign government. Wires: this is treason, the CIA has unchecked power, and the numbers don't add up (303 bars found, 298 in court). Began as a CIA espionage inquiry; Rush had worked with Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg on China programs. Sentencing in January.

| Anil Dash's essay on censorship, smear campaign against Chris Hansen, Nike stock decline, Germany's Bundeswehr AI vetting, AI companies are parasites, GrapheneOS might skip Pixel 11 support due to lack of MTE | 06 Oct 2026 | 01:19:18 | |
October 7 anniversary commentary — opening political remarks on Israel, Gaza, and Netanyahu. Nike stock decline — the host notes Nike trading at a 13-year low and ties it to the company's marketing and DEI direction. Anil Dash essay on censorship and algorithmic language — the bulk of the episode. Dash's argument that platform euphemisms ("unalive," grape, SA) are self-censorship that degrades public speech and even AI training data. The host reads extended passages and agrees, arguing creators should speak plainly and diversify off algorithmic platforms. Chris Hansen segment — a UK sting involving a former Netanyahu security guard; the host claims a recent film about Hansen is a smear campaign. Platform migration — advocates deleting X and moving to Nostr for censorship-resistant posting; skeptical takes on monetization via rage bait. Germany's Bundeswehr AI vetting — MAD's AI system screening military applicants for "constitutional loyalty" and right-wing extremism, per Spiegel. AI companies as "parasites" — scraping without compensation, plus a Florida case where an AI chatbot reported a user's threats to police. The host recommends Monero and uncensored/Chinese models (DeepSeek). GrapheneOS and the Pixel 11 — GrapheneOS may skip the Pixel 11 over Google cutting Memory Tagging Extension (MTE); recommends Pixel 10 or upcoming Motorola devices instead. Teaser for next episode — a planned segment on OpenBSD maintainer Theo de Raadt. This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised.

| Zano's Inflation Bug, the PS5 "Relapse" Jailbreak, Bitget's $387M Hack & the Shiny Hunters FBI Breach | 01 Oct 2026 | 01:04:51 | |
The host is back after a two-week hiatus — and Episode 29 is a big one. After explaining exactly where he's been (recovering from a nasty bout of food poisoning courtesy of a 2:30 a.m. street-vendor sandwich, landing his first paid agentic-coding consulting gig, and getting locked out of his own podcast dashboard by a sneaky $180/year "paid ads" sign-up on his distribution platform), he dives into four weeks' worth of stories he missed while offline. The Zano inflation bug, deep dive. Hardfork 6's new gateway addresses feature introduced an issuance flaw that let attackers mint unauthorized Zano and FUSD. Detected September 25th, fixed by a full chain rollback to block 3,833,000 on September 28th — roughly three days, with full reimbursements promised to affected users. Price dropped 20–36%, but the host argues the team's response earns trust: compare it to the Coldcard wallet hack, where customers still haven't been made whole. Inflation bugs are nothing new. A tour through the history books: Zcash's Orchard pool flaw (undetected for four years, ZEC down 30–50%), Harmony's ~$4 billion ONE minting incident, Bitcoin's legendary 184-billion-BTC block in 2010, and Bitcoin's 2018 near-miss. The takeaway: it's software, and we haven't seen the last of it. Plus a pointed argument that wallet and chain vendors should be moving marketing budgets into AI-assisted security auditing — attackers are already using AI against your stack. PS5 "Relapse" jailbreak. Someone finally jailbroke the PS5 — a low-effort, DNS-change exploit covering firmware 7.00 through 13.60, built on a two-stage WebKit memory-corruption + kernel race-condition chain that completes in seconds instead of the 50 minutes older methods took. The timing is perfect: it lands weeks after Sony conceded in court that players don't actually own their digital games, amid an active class action. Bitget hit for $387.5M — and the hacker is laundering through Zcash. The irony is thick: the attacker has moved ~2,700 ZEC into Zcash's shielded pool, while CEO Gracy Chen — a vocal Hyperliquid critic — points fingers at North Korea-linked actors. Chainalysis and TRM track the hops across cross-chain swap services, Thorchain halts swaps under emergency protocol, NEAR's Shields system rejects $50M+ in tainted swaps, and Bitget puts up a 5% bounty on frozen/recovered funds.

| 1,600 Apple retail employees go on strike in Milan; Draftkings using AI to advertise to problematic gamblers; Chipotle using Palantir's data analytics platform | 21 Sep 2026 | 01:06:28 | |
In this episode, we cover Chipotle's partnership with Palantir - a CIA-funded data firm - to build a food safety platform that tracks employee illness reports and store inspections. We discuss what this means for worker privacy and why fast food chains are turning to intelligence-grade surveillance tools. Then, over 1,600 Apple store workers in Italy staged a coordinated walkout on the busiest iPhone launch day, demanding better staffing and working conditions at the trillion-dollar company. The main story dives deep into DraftKings using AI and machine learning to identify and target problem gamblers most likely to lose money. A New York Times investigation reveals how the company built "elasticity" models scoring customers on their vulnerability, while simultaneously shutting down internal projects designed to predict gambling addiction. We discuss how Gen Z is increasingly turning to crypto and sportsbooks as an escape from economic hopelessness, and how platforms like Stake and Kick are funneling young users into gambling. Plus, brief thoughts on Zano's price movement, Bitcoin's failure as "freedom money," and why privacy coin communities need to stop fighting each other. Show notes and transcript available.

| Largest theft of labor by OpenAI; keepandroidopen.org; z.ai's coding agent uploads whole Git history; NSDAP's 25-point program and why the US should adopt it | 19 Sep 2026 | 01:03:08 | |
In this episode, host Crypto Wires delivers a packed hour covering the intersection of technology, corporate power, and political philosophy. The show opens with a deep dive into the unsealed filings from the New York Times' copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, which reveal that a top Microsoft executive privately described OpenAI's AI training practices as "theft" — calling it "the largest theft of labour in human history." The documents expose how OpenAI employees allegedly built paywall bypassing tools targeting the New York Times, stripped copyright notices from training data, and assembled datasets containing over 91,000 copies of NYT-published works. Despite these admissions, courts and the Trump administration have largely sided with AI companies on fair use grounds. Crypto Wires questions the trustworthiness of major AI platforms — including Grok, Cursor, and Chinese models like Z.AI — warning that they upload user data and source code to opaque cloud servers, and advocates for offline, locally hosted AI as the only viable path forward. The episode then shifts to a comprehensive reading and commentary on the 25-Point Program of the NSDAP. The host walks through each point, drawing parallels to modern issues: corporate profiteering from war and the call to confiscate war profits (Point 12), profit-sharing in large enterprises to counter trillionaire-level wealth concentration (Point 14), protections for the middle class against predatory retail monopolies (Point 16), the prosecution of usurers and profiteers (Point 18), state-funded education for talented children regardless of background (Point 20), compulsory public health and the abolition of child labour (Point 21), and legal accountability for political lies spread through the press (Point 23). The host also touches on Google Pixel security vulnerabilities — a modem-level zero-day patched with 110 fixes — as a reminder not to blindly trust tech companies with your data. The episode wraps with a reading from the background to Hitler's 1920 speech "Why Are We Anti-Semites?" delivered at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, noting how even Hitler himself initially regarded anti-Jewish sentiment as distasteful and products of envy before his views evolved. The host signs off in the rain, encouraging listeners to use SimpleX over Twitter, check the show notes for a Monero address, and submit voice notes via the newly launched call-in feature on the podcast's website.

Revolut Hackers Demanding $3 Million in Monero Ransom — The host discusses a ransomware attack by a group called "iamnotavillain" who demanded a $3 million payment in Monero (a privacy-focused cryptocurrency). He explores why privacy coins like Monero are favored by attackers, and touches on broader themes of cyber extortion and ransomware trends. Sam Bankman-Fried's $500 Million Investment Still Hawks on Top — An update on SBF's investments and financial standing, examining how his portfolio and assets continue to hold value despite ongoing legal proceedings. Book Review: "In His Own Words" by C.J. Miller (Hitler's Speeches) — The host discusses a book he's been reading about Hitler's speeches, describing himself as "somewhat of a Hitler historian recently." He plans to go over the 25-point program of the NSDAP (Nazi Party), framing it as a historical/sociological discussion about the content of the program.

| GrapheneOS shadow banned on ZOG Hacker News, Why Johnny Should Not Delegate Email Encryption to Gateways, Google keeping same domain site data from being removed from Chrome, Jigsaw: more on Android 17 rolling out ECH support | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:59:23 | |
Host Cryptowires opens Episode 25 with the story of GrapheneOS being shadowbanned on Hacker News. The privacy-focused Android ROM's team publicly revealed that nearly all their recent posts were flagged and hidden by default, while years of harassment and libel against their developers went unmoderated. The host questions whether Hacker News — funded by Y Combinator and populated largely by engineers from surveillance-heavy companies like Palantir, Meta, and Google — can ever be a neutral forum. He recommends Lobsters as a less manipulated alternative and urges users to enable "show dead" in settings to surface suppressed content. The episode shifts to cryptography with a new ETH Zurich paper, "Why Johnny Should Not Delegate Email Encryption to Gateways," which analyzed four S/MIME and PGP gateway products and uncovered 29 attacks enabling full message decryption and email spoofing. The key takeaway: delegating crypto operations to centralized gateways undermines end-to-end security, re-enabling previously resolved attack vectors like EFAIL. Next, the host covers Google Chrome once again quietly exempting google.com from its "delete site data" privacy setting — a bug first reported and fixed years ago, now reintroduced. Cookies and storage on google.com persist across sessions even with the setting enabled, reinforcing Google's pattern of ignoring privacy issues that conflict with their data collection model. The discussion turns to Google Project Zero's measured response to Anthropic's research claiming to have weakened the Hawk PQC candidate and reduced-round AES. Google's bug hunters argue the findings were overhyped — the Hawk attack used existing tools, and the AES attack requires resources so vast it would take 10 billion years. They frame AI-assisted cryptanalysis as a welcome contribution to PQC standardization, not an existential threat. Finally, the episode covers Jigsaw's announcement that Android 17 will enable Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) by default — encrypting domain names in TLS handshakes and closing one of the last major metadata leaks on the internet. Global testing across 212 countries and 740 ISPs showed near-zero failures, including in censored networks like Russia and China. The host urges developers to adopt OKHTTP 5.x and push for industry-wide ECH support. The episode also touches on VPN viability, off-grid communication research proposals, and teases next episode's coverage of a critical kernel vulnerability — the "OEM Apocalypse" — affecting Xiaomi, Oppo, and Samsung devices.

| Anthropic researcher quits over AI's out-of-control fears, a glance of Spyfail | 09 Sep 2026 | 01:04:36 | |
The hosts open with a look at the 25th anniversary of 9/11, encouraging listeners to question the official narrative and watch Europa: The Last Battle instead of consuming mainstream retrospectives. The episode then dives into James Bamford's book Spyfail, focusing on Israeli spy Arnon Milchan — who allegedly smuggled nuclear technology from the US while posing as a Hollywood producer, yet was never charged or prosecuted. They discuss the OPM hack attributed to China, the Cypher Brief's criticism of Bamford's "anti-Israel bias," and Netanyahu's personal intervention to restore Milchan's US visa. The conversation touches on media distrust, immigration concerns, and the Charlie Kirk assassination. Finally, they cover the story of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quitting over fears that AI companies are racing to build self-improving systems they can't control — with other researchers echoing the concern that AI could pose existential risks.

| Florida's Caruso will be the first to face the death penalty for a law he favored? 4K BTC stolen from (L-BTC) Liquid Network, calls for Zuckerberg to resign from Meta | 07 Sep 2026 | 01:23:47 | |
Episode 20 of Private On Chain opens with the arrest of Michael Caruso, a 67-year-old Republican former Florida State representative and appointee of Governor Ron DeSantis, who was charged with five felonies related to the sexual abuse of his 12-year-old grandson. The episode then moves into discussions about Mark Zuckerberg being pressured by lawmakers to step down from Meta, and the ongoing criticism of Apple and Tim Cook over censorship of apps in China, particularly in light of Cook's recent departure from his position. The hosts also mention an older 2023 article by Anil Dash on the radicalization of tech tycoons, though they debate whether to dive into it given its age. The episode wraps up with a teaser for Episode 21, which may feature a deep dive into the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the surprising lack of critical facts and details that have emerged over the past two and a half decades.

In this episode, the host covers Mullvad shutting down their public encrypted DNS service and migrating users to Quad 9, with a discussion on VPN infrastructure backbones and SNI leaks. The show examines Linux patches for Apple's A18 Pro chip in the MacBook Air, the growing movement toward Linux adoption, and countries—including the Netherlands (86 tons) and France (129 tons)—repatriating gold from US banks amid geopolitical tensions and de-dollarization trends. A Mises Institute article on political vs. economic elites is discussed. The episode closes with the story of an adult film producer unmasking a prolific torrent pirate as a Meta Reality Labs executive, potentially linking the case to a $446 million AI training lawsuit against Meta.

| Cook's glorious exit, Vulture Capitalism in focus | 05 Sep 2026 | 01:15:17 | |
This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised. In this episode, we break down the legacy of Tim Cook as he steps down from Apple after 15 years. Was he a "game manager" who kept the machine running, or did he turn Apple into a boring, derivative company that capitulated to China and lost its innovative spirit? We dig into Karl Bode's article on Cook's tenure, covering Apple Maps censorship for the Chinese market, AirDrop restrictions imposed during protests, and the broader ethical compromises made to protect profits. Plus: Apple's privacy theater with App Tracking Transparency, the Vision Pro flop, and why the host is planning to ditch Mac for Linux on a Pixelbook. We then shift to Anil Dash's piece on how venture capital became "cancer capital" — how firms like a16z have consolidated power, funneled money into politics, and hired controversial figures like Daniel Penny. The episode wraps with commentary on meme warfare on X and the state of the tech industry heading into the second half of 2026.

| Stolen funds from the Coldcard hack move on THORChain, Norway moves to regulate pervert glasses, weights facial recognition ban, Flock Safety has no transparency surrounding its tax-payer funding | 04 Sep 2026 | 00:54:20 | |
This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised. We start with the latest on the ColdCard hacking case — the attacker is now moving stolen funds, swapping Bitcoin for Ethereum through ThorChain, though repeated failures suggest he's running into operational friction. We break down the timeline, the scale of the breach affecting nearly 9,000 addresses and roughly $140 million, and why this has all the hallmarks of an inside job. We discuss how the ColdCard CEO likely had knowledge of the seed generation flaws in both hardware and software, and why we believe this was a calculated, orchestrated exit rather than a random exploit. We then shift to the growing backlash against smart glasses. Norway is leading the charge, moving to regulate what they're calling "pervert glasses" and weighing a full ban on facial recognition in public spaces. We cover the real-world consequences — from Ray-Ban Meta glasses being used to secretly film women in public, to Nairobi-based contractors reviewing private recordings for Meta's AI training. We revisit the history of Google Glass and the "Glasshole" phenomenon, and argue that the people buying these devices are overwhelmingly creeps who don't care about consent. Texas AG Ken Paxton has opened an investigation, and privacy-focused alternatives like DuckDuckGo's camera-free sunglasses are selling out. Next, we cover the $500 million class action lawsuit against Ledger. A user who lost nearly $2 million is leading the charge, alleging that Ledger downplayed multiple data breaches affecting hundreds of thousands of customers, failed to notify users in time, and neglected to fix inadequate security measures. We discuss how this case could set precedent for hardware wallet companies being held accountable, and what it means for the importance of self-custody, multi-sig, and having proper backup strategies. We also get into the bizarre story of crypto bros throwing dildos onto WNBA courts — first as a meme coin promotion stunt tied to a "Green Dildo" token and Polymarket prediction bets, and now inexplicably tied to anti-trans protests despite zero trans athletes ever playing in the WNBA. We break down how the token is still controlled by seven wallets and the whole operation appears dead in the water. Finally, we dissect a powerful Mises Institute article on Flock Safety — the company behind 120,000+ automated license plate readers across the US. Despite presenting itself as a private company, Flock's sole customer is the US government, funded entirely by taxpayer dollars. We explore how this arrangement circumvents the Fourth Amendment, enables warrantless surveillance through private middlemen, and why companies like Flock should be subject to open records requirements just like government agencies. We connect this to the broader pattern of government outsourcing surveillance to "private" companies to maintain secrecy and avoid accountability. Plus, some thoughts on the state of writing quality on crypto Twitter, why wireless earbuds are increasingly unreliable, and the passing of Nick Bugas, creator of the infamous Happy Merchant meme.

| Flock banned in Texas and Florida, Ternus takes the throne at Apple, AuroraStore/GrapheneOS face further restrictions lacking Pixel MTE support | 02 Sep 2026 | 01:10:20 | |
This episode contains strong language and adult themes, listener discretion advised. In this episode, your host Crypto Wires covers the latest in crypto markets during "Red September," with Monero surging past $500 while XANO dips below $7. The host argues that Ripple/XRP is positioning itself as a surveillance grid rather than a privacy coin, citing ties to NSA contractors and intelligence agencies. The episode dives into major privacy stories: Florida and Texas moving to block Flock Safety surveillance cameras after reports of police of tracking databases, Meta disabling cameras on thousands of tampered smart glasses used to secretly record people, and Google making it increasingly difficult for third-party app stores like Aurora Store to operate on Android. GrapheneOS may abandon support for the Pixel 11 after discovering missing hardware security features (MTE), raising questions about Google's intentions. Other topics include Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO after 15 years, Adam Neumann launching yet another real estate venture after the WeWork collapse, and the host's vision for building off-grid communication devices that bypass cellular and satellite infrastructure entirely. The host also shares personal frustrations with Florida's unemployment system and reflects on what true digital privacy looks like in an era of ubiquitous surveillance.

The Firm Writing AI’s Rules — and Betting Against Us Marc Andreessen’s firm, a16z, is spending tens of millions to keep AI regulation loose — a $100M super PAC, ex-partners in government, and an executive order targeting state AI laws.
