All right. Hello everyone. This is Gabriel Custodiet of Watchmen Privacy and I'm pleased to announce that we are having a summer sale on escapethetechnocracy.com I hope you've enjoyed the recent releases of podcasts recently. This is a direct outpouring of support for escapethetechnocracy.com this was a shop that I created a couple years ago to provide privacy related content for a price. That was a way to financially support the podcast. And when you guys have stepped up, I have been able to divert more of my attention and resources to doing all these interviews with people and creating more episodes. So I hope you've enjoyed that. The way that you support the podcast and yourself is to visit escapethetechnocracy.com so let me tell you about the sale that's going on right now. It is 25% off on average throughout the entire store. So just about every product is 25% off or around 25% off. There's no coupon needed, have already reduced the prices to the sale price and that's the basic sale. It's a great opportunity to pick up that product you are waiting for. Stay tuned by the way, throughout this full episode because we will be giving out $100 gift cards to multiple people. And don't worry if you're listening to this later on, I will activate more coupons than throughout the next 10 days. So it's not just first come, first served, just another notice real quick. If you're a Watchman's Torch premium newsletter subscriber, then you have a special discount, special coupon coming your way. Check the recent issue of Watchman's Torch. You will have a coupon for 40% off a single item on the shop. That is in addition to the 25% discount. If you are a previous escapethetechnocracy.com customer, then you will also be receiving an email for 30% off a single item. And if you are signed up to our free newsletter, which you can do on the website at the bottom in the footer, then you can check your email. You will be receiving a coupon for 20% off. So incentives for everybody who has engaged with us over the last bit of time. These coupons are not stackable. You'll only be able to use one of them at a time. So, so please keep that in mind. Now, the sale is going to happen from June 1st, that's today, until June 10th. So that gives you 10 days to check your emails, get your coupon, find the product or products that you want, go to checkout, pay in Fiat, pay in Monero, pay in Bitcoin, however you want to pay so that you can start your privacy journey and also support this podcast so that we can keep rolling out episodes at a consistent clip. So that's the basics of the sale. Let's give you a tour of what you should be going for. Now, first of all, if you're not familiar with EscapeTheTechnocracy. Com, as I said, this is a website, it's an online shop that is privacy preserving. As best as we can do, we only require a email from you and you can use simple login. You can use whatever burner email service you would like. You just have to be able to receive an email from us. You can pay in Monero if you would like. You can also pay in Fiat or Bitcoin. And we created this shop to provide high end privacy and sovereignty content. So let's just go on a little tour of what is new on escapethetechnocracy.com so as always, we have our Watchman's Torch premium newsletter that has a little bit of a discount right now. And you're not going to be able to use coupons on this one. This is the only product that we don't let people use coupons on. Basically this is a subscription service, so we have to be careful about how we do those kind of discounts. So. But if you're interested in our ongoing thoughts every two weeks about privacy, travel, techno adventure, cryptocurrencies, hacking, cybersecurity, all these sorts of things, digital sovereignty and actual physical sovereignty. This is the newsletter that you should be subscribed to. Everybody listening should be subscribed to Watchman's Torch. You can get it for a bit of a discount. You can top up years now that if you already have a subscription, you can top up a year. But I hope everybody considers becoming a subscriber. And as you've seen with the coupon, the 40% off coupon, this can literally pay for itself. So keep that in mind as well. Moving down here we have our 3D printing video course. Now this is where we tend to separate the paid content from the free stuff that you can find online. Because when creating this tutorial, I looked at all the free stuff and they talk to you about how to use printers that are spying on you. And these creators don't really care. They don't talk about the engineering aspect of 3D printing. They don't talk about how to select the best printer that is not doing all these things. They don't talk to you about a lot of the cypherpunk aspects of 3D printing. For that you would have to end up on forums. But here's the thing. On forums, on Reddit, you have people who are LARPing. They're giving out their advice, but they don't have to stand behind it. They're just an anonymous voice out there giving a few thoughts and and then evaporating into the ether. We do this professionally. We have to respond to customers and clients for whom these strategies do not work. So we have to think of everything, everything from the ground level up, test it ruthlessly, make sure it works. We're not just spouting out information on it. That's why you pay for this kind of content. We're also not sponsored, so you're not going to hear us shilling particular products because, well, that company paid us to. We do not do anything like that. So those are some of the things that differentiate us from your average YouTube tutorials or your forum posts or things of this sort. We have also our main Escape the Technocracy video course. This is where we get you up and running on Linux, VPNs, Monero. We even have a quick module on 3D printing phone privacy, digital minimalism. We even show and talk about how to escape from the technocratic food system. So this is really a good starting point for anybody who has no background or maybe just a little bit of background in digital knowledge. But this is really the course that is designed to get you up and running to become that privacy ghost figure that you might want to be. And if you want to get the main ETT course, along with our Hack Proof course, which is our cybersecurity course that focuses on sovereignty above all else and of course could save you the immense frustration of having one of your accounts compromised and the financial hit that that could bring you. You can go and purchase the ultimate privacy and security bundle. Get a discount it being a bundle and then you also get the ETT main course and our Hack Proof course as well. On the topic of bundles, I'm very pleased to announce that we have a new bundle just for this sale. It's called the Visionary Bundle. And this bundle has every single product that we have ever created as of May 2026. So why did we create the Visionary Bundle? Well, we know things have increased in price over the last couple of years as we have improved things and built more and more. And we understand that some of you are just getting into this and you want a way to get in and you want a way to get everything. And so the Visionary Bundle is a great opportunity to get every product that we've ever made. Now, you can't use a coupon on this particular bundle, but if you it is priced at such a rate that you will get a fantastic discount from this bundle if you want to purchase everything. Even if you've purchased a product or two already, it can still make financial sense. And by the way, with the Visionary Bundle, you also get a full one year, just one, but one full year membership of Watchman's Torch Premium newsletter. So check it out on the digital market. The Visionary Bundle. We have an AI course and this is about getting you up and running, understanding AI at a basic level, how to do the text, how to do the art, how to do the audio, all the elements of AI. So we actually show you how to use it, but then we also show you how to use it in a privacy and sovereignty focused way to use AI as a cypherpunk tool, as a tool for privacy and freedom. So this is a really cool course, one of my favorite products that we've ever done. And very few people talk about AI in this way. So if you're interested in what all the buzz about AI is, whether you want to use it for productivity or as a tool for, again, freedom and privacy, this is definitely the course for you. This is the AI Resistance video course. We have a huge bundle called the Bitcoin Sovereignty Bundle. Now, a lot of people sleep on this one because they think they're not interested in Bitcoin and they just kind of skip it. But we also talk about things like Monero in this course. So this is a course designed to help you understand cryptocurrencies that function like Bitcoin, like Monero. And obviously it has a Bitcoin focus. What the privacy dangers are, how to run a node, how to do all this stuff properly. And with the privacy focus, obviously picking a wallet, how to acquire these in a private way, Huge okay, how to use a mobile wallet and also a desktop wallet, how to get involved in circular economies, in other words, using these things as they're meant to be used. Also we have an entire PDF and video on how to accept crypto for your business. For some people, that is a huge struggle. It's not that simple. So we have an entire product part of this bundle that shows you how to accept crypto for your business. And then the bundle also includes two seed phrase kits that are designed to help you obfuscate your seed phrase without having to spend a lot of money or have something shipped to your door that a lot of these hardware wallet companies and these seed phrase kit companies do when you purchase through them. So those are a nice little bonus in this product as well. And then we have entire modules on how to track Bitcoin, essentially how to use blockchain heuristics, as it's called, how you lose your Bitcoin and crypto, generally, how to back up your seed phrase in a appropriate way, and then some advanced privacy on Bitcoin. And if you're a Monero person, you're going to have to touch Bitcoin most likely at some point in time. Why not learn how to do that and understand some of the problems with it? Right. So you could denounce it with more authority if you wanted to by following this course. So this is our Bitcoin sovereignty bundle. Then we have some products that are part of our corporate consulting category. That is our South Dakota residency course. If you're serious about physical privacy, you want to be a nomad within the US or you live outside the US and you want to understand how to have a little bit of a presence inside the U.S. this is a fantastic course that walks you through how to become a South Dakota nomad, how to create an LLC in South Dakota, how to have extreme physical privacy, living as a ghost nomad, and essentially how to take that step to becoming a sovereign person who is a digital nomad. We have consulting and I'll tell you what, if you reach out to us during the sale and you sign up for some consulting, I will knock off 25% off of that price as well. So just reach out to us. Questionscapethetechnocracy.com we can do private one on one consulting on whatever topic that you were thinking about. So go ahead and email us and let us know. And then finally we get to our category of survival and tactical products. This is extreme prepping, extreme practical prepping. These are all products from Steven Harris, who is a friend of ours, one of the most serious people on these topics that there is. He has a product on basically explaining how to prepare for a combat or a serious high risk zone. This is our shadow loadout Combat zone deployment kit. He has a product on nuclear war survival skills and he actually literally helped to write the book with a nuclear expert on this topic. And then there's the emergency food plan where he goes through all the radical ways for, for cheap and for, in a very practical and direct way, counterintuitive in many cases that you can prepare for a food apocalypse. Now, I have listened, I've watched a ton of the prepper type stuff. There's the stuff that people are talking about as preppers on YouTube, okay. And then there's Stephen Harris. And I'm just gonna leave it at that. There's no replacement for Steven Harris who literally does this for his job consulting people, consulting the military who are in the most high risk environments that you can imagine. I would not Trust your average YouTube prepper. All those big channels, I wouldn't trust them. I look at these people, they don't know anything about actual survival. Steven Harris, though, I would trust on all these topics. So if these are your concerns, if you're concerned about nuclear disaster or being in these extreme high risk situations, or the fertilizer crisis that could lead to a food crisis, check out all of these products. Great opportunity to pick all of them up and start your prepping journey. Okay, how about a hundred dollar off coupon? Use this at checkout to get a hundred dollars off your order. The Coupon code is 9A X wall. Best of luck. And, and if you're checking this later on, still check it because I will activate more of these coupons as the sale continues on. So that is the escapethetechnocracy.com summer sale. Check your emails, try the code I just sent and otherwise take advantage of 25% off just about every product on the shop. This information, of course, can transform your life. It's going to support this podcast. So that's a good enough reason for some of you and by itself to make a purchase. And it's going to transform your life in fantastic ways. Increase your sovereignty and privacy. And we look forward to seeing you and teaching you in a course in a product on Escape the technocracy dot com.
