    Biden Censored Him on TV, Then His Accounts Started Vanishing W/Dr. Ben Tapper

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with Dr. Ben Tapper — chiropractor, father of five, and one of the twelve people the Biden administration publicly named as the "Disinformation Dozen" — for a conversation about what it actually costs to speak against a narrative. Ben traces his path from a free-range Nebraska childhood to the moment a video of him addressing the Omaha City Council on mask mandates pulled three million views in a day. From there they get into the machinery of censorship: the shadowbanning he screen-recorded, five Instagram accounts deleted one after another, a permanent TikTok ban off a single video, and the financial de-platforming almost nobody talks about — PayPal and Venmo seizing his funds mid-fundraise for a documentary he'd already contractually committed to deliver. They also cover his "why," his read on Bitcoin and the moment the Canadian truckers convinced him, homeschooling, health insurance as an oxymoron — before closing on the lawsuits he's now part of against the Trusted News Initiative and the CCDH.

He found out standing in a grocery store parking lot, put his produce down, and opened Instagram to check whether his account still existed. The deletions weren't one event but a sequence: five accounts in a row, the largest at 79,000 followers pulling three to four million impressions a month, plus Twitter and a permanent TikTok ban off a single video with no political content in it. The financial de-platforming gets the least attention — PayPal and Venmo both seized his accounts, and the $46,000 he'd raised for his documentary went to zero mid-campaign, against a signed contract for $59,000 due in sixty days. The Canadian truckers convoy was his turning point on Bitcoin: funds frozen through the conventional system, and the Bitcoin donations couldn't be touched. He's clear he doesn't fully understand the technology and is fine saying so. He's now a plaintiff in litigation against the Trusted News Initiative and the CCDH, with roughly $200,000–$300,000 in accrued legal fees.

    Breathwork for Nervous System Regulation: What Most People Get Wrong W/Christopher August

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with longtime friend Christopher August — bestselling author, breathwork facilitator, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, awakening, and the nervous system. Christopher traces his path from a corporate career and a master's degree to two years living in a rural Tanzanian village, and then to the moment that changed everything A near-death experience on a class-five rapid on the Zambezi River, where he lost consciousness and came back with a completely new relationship to breath. From there they dig into the Gene Keys system (shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequencies), the "great solar flash" prophecy tied to 1987/2012/2027 The difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic breathing, and how breathwork and plant medicine can overlap — before closing on Christopher's Mastery Collective, his Beats and Breath app, and a live guided breath with the audience.

The Gene Keys system, created by Richard Rudd, combines human design, astrology, and the I Ching into 64 archetypes, each with a shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequency, used as a framework for self-understanding. Christopher's rule of thumb with the Gene Keys: focus 90% of your energy on the gift, 10% on the shadow — the shadow is a gateway, not an identity to collapse into. He points to a prophecy tied to Gene Key 55 with three marker points — 1987, 2012, and 2027 — describing a gradual "mutation" tied to humanity's collective awakening. For recovery and general health, Christopher emphasizes fundamentals over complexity: breath, fasting, clean water, sunlight, and nervous-system regulation (shifting from sympathetic "fight or flight" into parasympathetic "rest and digest"). He and Oto announced they'll be partnering to bring the Gene Keys/breathwork/somatic framework into Oto's academy.

    Why the Rich Use Private Trusts Instead of Banks W/ Shanna Faye

    From accountant to private trust architect — Shanna Faye breaks down how she uses trusts, offshore structuring, and crypto privacy tools to help people become the steward, not the extractor, of their own wealth. Shanna combines 30+ years in accounting, business consulting, and portfolio management with a naturopathic doctorate in alternative healing. In this episode she and Oto go deep on private trusts, ownership vs. stewardship, tax avoidance vs. evasion, crypto privacy strategies, and why she believes health and wealth are the same conversation. 04:55 — Private trust vs. statutory trust: how Shanna found the difference 11:55 — Ownership vs. stewardship, explained 16:55 — Is there a one-size-fits-all trust structure? 17:55 — Panama Foundation vs. corporation: structuring compared 19:55 — Palau ID, alternate residencies & citizenship options 24:55 — Crypto + trusts: cold wallets, Rocket Exchange, Panama 27:55 — Tax avoidance vs. evasion — the real difference 29:55 — The 1031 like-kind exchange loophole for crypto 31:55 — The CBDC/FISA 702 bill nobody's talking about 34:55 — Staying liquid in an uncertain system 36:55 — Is AI good or bad? Shanna's honest take 40:55 — Why there's no wealth without health 44:55 — Community, tribes, and the toroidal field 47:55 — Catherine Austin Fitts: "relationships are the future currency" 48:55 — What the future monetary system could look like 51:55 — Arcium: the encryption layer working with Solana 53:55 — Shanna's services, strategy sessions & offers 56:55 — Join the Friday Lives / Free Academy 57:55 — Final message: you're responsible for your life 🔑 Key TakeawaysShanna's path into private trusts started almost by accident — she was CFO on a startup development project when she met someone deep in private trust structuring and got hooked. What began as a professional curiosity turned into a full second career, one she now runs alongside her naturopathic practice. She sees finance and healing as inseparable, since most people's relationship to money traces straight back to how they felt loved — or not — growing up. The ownership vs. stewardship conversation is one of the episode's core threads. Oto frames pure ownership as an indoctrinated, extractive mindset — "this is mine" — while stewardship carries responsibility toward a wider community. Shanna pushes back gently, noting there's nothing wrong with knowing what you own; the real red flag is entitlement and scarcity thinking underneath it. Together they land on a "win-win-win" framework — win for yourself, win for the other party, win for the planet. On the practical side, Shanna walks through real options for structuring around a shifting financial system — Panama Foundations, Palau residency IDs, cold wallets held in trust, and private exchanges like Rocket Exchange. She's careful to draw a hard line between tax evasion (fraud) and tax avoidance (legally operating in the negative space of the tax code), and explains how a 1031 like-kind exchange may apply to crypto through the "fixture" clause tied to real property. Midway through, the conversation takes a sharper turn into current events — the 702 FISA bill, the quiet reappearance of CBDC language buried in legislative fine print, and what that means for anyone trying to "stay liquid." Shanna's read on AI is nuanced rather than alarmist: the technology itself is neutral, and the real question is always about intention — is it deployed in service of people, or to control them. The back half shifts into health and community. Shanna argues that an unhealthy nervous system makes it harder to create and easier to become dependent — but she's careful to note it's not always a personal failing, since community is supposed to carry people through illness. She closes with a callback to Catherine Austin Fitts' line that "the currency of the future is going to be relationships," tying the whole episode's threads — trusts, crypto, health, community — back into one idea: stewardship over extraction. 📎 Show Notes & LinksShanna Faye's website: https://shannafaye.com Obtaining crypto privately: RocketX (Private Exchange for Crypto) — https://www.rocketx.exchange/Bisq — https://bisq.network/ Encryption service — Arcium: https://x.com/yrschradehttps://x.com/Arciumhttps://www.arcium.com/

    He Built a Phone the Government Can't Track W/Hakeem Anwar

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with Hakeem Anwar — founder of #TakeBackOurTech and Above, a privacy-first phone, laptop, and communications company — to map out exactly how the surveillance system works and what people can actually do about it. They trace Hakeem's path from a decade-deep conspiracy rabbit hole through a big-tech career to founding Above after COVID convinced him he was "coding his own prison." From there the conversation covers the AI data center boom (and the free tool Hakeem built, aidatacentermap.org, to track its water and power use), Palantir's "unified surveillance" model, the push toward digital ID, why he's grown wary of Bitcoin's transparency, and a live demo of de-Googled phones, offline maps, and the F-Droid app store. They close on Hakeem's long-term vision: small communities running their own local servers and mesh networks, fully independent of Big Tech.

Hakeem's aidatacentermap.org tracks hyperscale data centers' estimated water and power draw, and includes case studies like San Marcos, TX, where a local group blocked a data center by showing up 100-strong to a rezoning hearing. By 2030, data centers are projected to use 40–50% of current total US power consumption, according to the map's estimates. Hakeem describes Palantir's model as "unified surveillance" — pulling disparate data (library check-ins, traffic cameras, police records) into one investigative platform — and ties it to the broader push toward digital ID. Offline tools like the F-Droid app store and OpenStreetMap let phones navigate and function fully without an internet connection or Google/Apple location services. Hakeem's long-term vision is community-run mesh networks and local server farms (8–30 households pooling resources) replacing reliance on Big Tech infrastructure entirely.

    Raised in a Cult, Building Her Own Freedom W/Tamar Edwards

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with Tamar Edwards, who was born into the Children of God — a nomadic, high-control religious group her parents joined in the late 1970s — and spent her childhood moving through 24 communes across four countries, largely in Thailand, believing the world would end before she reached adulthood. Tamar walks through what daily life inside the group actually looked like, how the cult's fear-based control system worked, and what happened when it disbanded and she was thrown into mainstream society with no schooling and no relationship to money. She traces her path from clowning and balloon-twisting as a teenager, to yoga and nutrition coaching, to intimacy and sexuality coaching, and finally to her current focus on financial sovereignty — framing embodiment, sexuality, and money as the "three pillars" she's spent her adult life healing. She also shares her own experience with suicidal ideation as a child in the group and reflects on what it means to build genuine autonomy after growing up with none. Chapters / Timestamps (Shifted +48s to account for the trailer at the top of the episode) 00:00 – Trailer 00:48 – Intro & Disclaimer: Meet Tamar Edwards 02:48 – Born Into the Children of God: 24 Communes by Age 12 05:48 – The Culture of "Broke With a Purpose" 09:48 – What Was the Children of God?

She defines what turned the group into a cult — one unquestioned charismatic leader plus total isolation from the outside world — and describes how members were "seduced by love, then ruled by fear." Her family's economic model was "broke with a purpose": no personal money, no personal wallet, communal living, and constant relocation, which she says left her with a deep scarcity mindset she's had to unlearn as an adult. After the group disbanded when she was a young teen, she built a career arc from clowning and balloon-twisting to yoga/nutrition coaching to intimacy and sexuality coaching, and now studies financial sovereignty — framing embodiment, sexuality, and money as three interconnected "pillars" of healing. She's written a book, Postpartum Care for New Moms Over 35, drawn from her own experience having her son at 40.

    From Astral Projection to Building a New Internet From Scratch W/Mike Winner

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with longtime friend DJ Mike Winner — co-founder of the decentralized network Qortal — for a deep dive into consciousness, sovereignty, and building outside the centralized internet. Mike traces his path from an early astral projection experience at 12, through a "germ theory" awakening from Dr. Bear Lando, to co-founding Qortal as a fully open-source, node-to-node alternative to the World Wide Web. He and Oto unpack the philosophy behind "sovereignty taxes," the difference between legal and possession-based ownership, and why cognitive sovereignty matters as AI use grows. Mike then walks through how Qortal actually works — minting, QDN, the CORT coin, the app ecosystem (QTube, Qmail, QShare, and more) — before showing how he used AI agents (including his own trained assistant, Merlin) to build Terrain TV, a free, AI-curated health-freedom video platform with 46,000+ videos. Chapters / Timestamps (Shifted +59s to account for the new intro at the top of the episode) 00:00 – Trailer 00:59 – Intro & Catching Up with DJ Mike Winner 02:59 – The Red Pill Moment: Astral Projection & "The Creature from Jekyll Island" 05:59 – Germ Theory, Chronic Illness & the Allopathic Debt System 07:59 – From Hollywood to Alpha Vedic: Finding His Path 09:59 – The Art of Inquiry: Trusting Truth Within & Daily Meditation 11:59 – Dependency, the Sovereignty Tax & the Entrepreneur's Dilemma 13:59 – AI as an Ancient Technology & the Convergence Point 14:59 – Techno Bros, Ownership vs. the Rental Economy 17:59 – The Myth of Prometheus & Natural Law 19:59 – Crossing the Bridge: Technology as "Techne" 23:59 – Why Big Tech Isn't Censoring Like It Used To 25:59 – The Sovereign Stack: Decoupling Step by Step 28:59 – The Danger of "Purity Spiraling" & What Is a Luddite? 32:59 – Moving Into a Creator-Based Economy 33:59 – Legal Ownership vs. Possession-Based Ownership & Cognitive Sovereignty 36:59 – What Is Qortal?

QDN (Qortal Data Network) stores content by chunking, encrypting, and spreading it across the nodes of your followers, so the more followers an account has, the faster and more redundant its content becomes — with no central server to shut it down. The app ecosystem includes QTube (YouTube alternative), Qmail (encrypted P2P email with no middleman), Quitter (Twitter-style), QShare, QShop, and more — all funded by small CORT transaction fees rather than hosting or subscription costs. Ownership on Qortal runs through a permissionless naming marketplace — names cost a few CORT, follow you across every app, and moderation happens through community blocking rather than centralized censorship. Mike built Terrain TV, a free AI-curated health-freedom platform pulling from YouTube, BitChute, Odysee, and Rumble, in about 60 days using AI coding agents — including his own trained AI assistant, "Merlin," built in OpenClaw. Mike frames the core practice as recognizing "sovereignty taxes" — the time, attention, and money we give up for convenience — and gradually walking across the bridge to open-source, self-owned alternatives (Qortal, ProtonMail, local AI) rather than abandoning existing tools all at once.

    “From Cancer Ward to $550K Clients” W/Tom Barendregt

    Episode Summary Oto sits down with Tom Barendregt to go deep on TAG/CopyX — and the "Amplified Account" that lets clients trade with up to 12X their deposited capital. Tom shares his personal story (three cancer diagnoses, a decade in affiliate marketing, and how he ended up in Dubai), then breaks down exactly how the platform works: the mechanics of leveraged trading, how CopyX protects elite traders from being copied in real time, the fee structure and high watermark system, and the affiliate ecosystem tying TAG, Bit.one, and BIX together. Oto plays devil's advocate throughout, pressing Tom on negative reviews, regulatory questions, and the classic "is this an MLM" concern — and Tom answers all of it directly.

The Amplified Account lets clients trade with up to 12X their deposited capital, backed by real liquidity providers (banks) — capped at a 10% max drawdown on the account. CopyX hides live trades from followers (only visible once closed) specifically to protect high-caliber providers from being copied and resold by third parties. Fee split example: on $120 profit, client keeps $84 (70%), 5% goes to the provider, 25% to the affiliate plan — and it's all governed by a high watermark so fees are only paid on new profit highs, never on recovered losses. Minimum to just try the platform: $10. Minimum to qualify as an affiliate: $250 in an active strategy. The ecosystem (TAG, Bit.one crypto exchange, BIX card) shares one referral link and one affiliate back office — affiliates earn across all three. Tom addresses negative reviews directly explains WikiFX's pay-for-score model, a retracted Dutch regulator complaint, and the ownership transition from Pure North Markets to TM Financials Ltd. **THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY** JOIN TAG/COPYX TODAY GET TAG/COPYX ONBOARDING SUPPORT CONNECT WITH OTO: Instagram - https://instagram.com/otogomes Website - https://otogomes.live JOIN CFA FREE

Today we welcome Phil, Michael and Marcia to discuss this Equity Passage path and the importance of the embodiment of this perspective! In this episode of the Oto Gomes Show, host Oto Gomes engages in a profound conversation with three guests—Michael Joseph, Phil Mederi, and Marcia—about their personal journeys of awakening and self-discovery. The discussion delves into the significance of language as a tool for empowerment and the importance of self-governance in reclaiming personal power. Together, they aim to break the 'spells' that keep individuals trapped in a cycle of disempowerment and encourage listeners to embrace their true potential.
