ParticipantDavid Hughes, Review of Iain Davis, The Technocratic Dark State – One of the Most Important Books That You Will Read
It is rare to come across a book that exposes how power really operates in the contemporary world…
..Davis’ book, which significantly develops an important series of essays published on Unlimited Hangout in 2025, stands alone as the single best analytical synthesis of up-to-date information on the global technocratic coup that has been underway since 2020.
In 20 chapters spanning over 400 pages, Davis meticulously exposes the real power structures and agendas in today’s world…
..The Technocratic Dark State begins by exposing the bogus intellectual foundations being invoked to legitimise the attempted technocratic takeover. Without Davis’ contribution, who would have given much thought to the neoreactionary “Dark Enlightenment,” or concepts such as “accelerationism,” “gov-corp” and “sovcorps”?
Most readers probably have no idea what those concepts mean, who coined them, or what kind of worldview they legitimise. Yet, as it turns out, Peter Thiel has long been partial to such ideas, and along with Elon Musk and other technocrats seems serious about implementing them. The highest-level agendas being enacted in the world today rest on these ideas.
While many commentators remain trapped in 20th terminology such as “fascism” and “communism,” the reality is that an entirely new political lexicon is required in order to understand the kind of totalitarianism that is being built today (i.e., global technocracy). It features strange terminology which Musk and others have openly used (e.g. “Dark MAGA” as an allusion to the “Dark Enlightenment”), but which is only decipherable for those in the know...
..It amounts to intellectual garbage, flawed on virtually every level, and Davis does a solid job of exposing its limitations.
This is very important, because it means that there are no sound intellectual foundations behind the drive to implement global technocracy. It is purely a power grab — the largest in history by some distance...
..Therefore, means must be found of fooling citizens into accepting the technocratic measures being advanced… For example, Davis devotes an entire chapter to “Neoreactionary Christianity,” highlighting the ways in which Christianity has been hijacked by neoreactionaries to serve its purposes. Thiel, for instance, has plenty to say about the Antichrist while Palantir facilitates atrocities against the Palestinians...
..Voters have been deceived by Trump’s “techno-populism” and promises to create “efficiencies” via DOGE. In reality, Palantir has been granted the keys to US government databases, in line with the GovTech/Digital State agenda now being rolled out everywhere for purposes of “population control.” Palantir has also been awarded major contracts with nearly all, if not all, major US government agencies.
The ultimate consequence of an AI-powered Digital State, as I have argued, will be the use of digital technologies to facilitate the efficient “neutralisation” of dissidents (an extension of using drones to assassinate suspected “terrorists”)…
..The second half of The Technocratic Dark State is even stronger than the first, because it gets into the nitty-gritty of how technocracy is being implemented in 2025…
..Davis warns of the dangers of a social credit system (SCS) linked to digital ID:
“If we submit to a digital ID […], then, assuming we are compelled to use […] digital currency (linked to our digital ID), we will not be able to escape the social credit system, no matter how much we balk. Indeed, once those digital connections have been snapped into place like handcuffs, our behavior within the digital prison can be — will be — adjudicated in accordance with the SCS rules that govern us.”
He makes no bones of the fact that we are faced with “oligarchs who are hyper-focused on exploiting digital technology for the purpose of enslaving humanity.”
Indeed, the UK Government’s flat ignoring of a recent petition signed by 2.75 million Britons (4% of the population, including children) against digital ID shows that the ruling class has no concern whatsoever for public opinion...
..Davis draws a distinction between what he calls “NEONERD” oligarchs (i.e., “upstarts” seeking to exploit the new technologies for their own benefit) and the much more powerful “dynastic oligarchs,” whose control reaches back centuries. His argument is that their interests align in terms of a “high-risk, high-reward” plan to establish the New World Order in double-quick (accelerated) time…
..One significant development is Balaji Srinivasan’s idea of the “network state,” whereby superwealthy individuals band together to fund their own states. Improbable as this may sound, Davis provides multiple real world examples, such as Próspera, characterising them as parasitical entities designed to “suck wealth and resources out of nation-states and impoverish them” while concentrating their own power…
..Chapters 16-18 are on digital currency and are some of the most important in the book. A permissionless DLT [distributed ledger technology, as Bitcoin] based digital currency, Davis argues, theoretically “decentralizes and thus neuters the immense power of the banks to control both the issuance of money and consequently finance.”
Instead, however, the technocrats want to bring in decentralised finance using permissioned DLT to issue their own digital currencies — in effect, an attempt to privatise the international monetary and financial system, placing all the power in the hands of those who control it.
A key step towards such a system in the United States was the passage of the GENIUS Act, which, in Davis’ view, facilitates “a monumental deception upon the American people and the world.” Interoperable stablecoins that are clearly designed to function as digital dollars have been excluded from monetary controls simply by asserting they are not “national currency,” thus placing them beyond Congress’s regulatory jurisdiction.
The idea of interoperability really means “allowing for centralised control,” with all transactions being recorded on a single unified ledger as per the technocrats’ original vision in the 1930s. Today, this is manifest in the Bank for International Settlements’ proposal for a global “unified ledger” … which Davis calls the ”Synthetic Hegemony Currency”...
..In an all-digital financial system, everything can be tokenised and placed on the blockchain, including so-called “natural assets.” It is estimated that the tokenized global economy will be worth $4-5 quadrillion (a quadrillion is a thousand trillion). In that context, Davis argues, the US national debt, currently at $38 trillion, appears as a drop in the ocean…
..An even more audacious project is the Trump administration’s sovereign wealth fund, which aims to sell off 650 million acres of land (ca. 30% percent of the United States’ landmass), said to be the “sovereign property” of the US government. This is effectively theft, as it means that the land does not belong to the American people after all and can be signed over to oligarchs who can then tokenize the “ecosystem services” (a UN Agenda 21 term) that they have just purchased. Furthermore, their “natural capital” (another Agenda 21 term) can be traded over the counter (OTC), outside the regulated exchanges, evading SEC scrutiny.
If the public allows all this to go ahead, the result will be a privatised global financial system operating beyond regulatory scrutiny and handing ownership and control of everything (and everyone) to a criminal transnational oligarchy...
..There are different competing factions within that oligarchy. However, they all recognise that their interests are best served by the formation of a New World Order. In Davis’s view, this will be achieved, first through regionalisation (in line with the original technocratic vision of the division of the world into “Technates”), and then through the imposition of a single one-world government, ruling all of the regions...
..The final chapter, titled “Parasitic Gov-Corp Technates,” describes “a growing infestation of expanding private fiefdoms” that are eroding the public sector authority of national governments. They include “Network State Archipelagos, Freedom Cities, 15-Minute Cities, Resilient Cities, Charter Cities, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free Trade Zones (FTZs), Freeports, and ‘human settlements’” (another Agenda 21 term)...
..But, Davis observes, we should not be fooled into imagining that there is anything “free” about these oligarch-funded projects. In Thiel-funded Praxis (in Greenland), for instance,
“Your freedom to roam will be geofenced by AI-linked EVs. Your assets and rights will be “on-chain” and limited by the Praxis AI’s application of the Social Credit System (SCS) rules on its unified ledger, which will be hosted on the Praxis arm of the Finternet. Any behavior that isn’t already restricted by your programmable Praxis digital currency will be policed by AI surveillance and attack drones.”…
..We do not have to accept such a future, however, as The Technocratic Dark State repeatedly underscores. Resistance begins with recognising the reality of what is taking place…
..Peaceful non-compliance with the oligarchs’ “demented edicts” and “insane schemes” opens the door to building “something truly better.”…
..Humanity thus stands at a pivotal juncture. With the oligarchs’ dream of enslaving humanity through digital means fast approaching realisation, everyone needs to understand the urgent message contained within these pages, and to act on it. https://dhughes.substack.com/p/review-of-iain-davis-the-technocratic Another book, by Patrick Wood, The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America – The book that will rattle the nation… is HERE!

..AI workloads do not draw power the way traditional computing does. They surge. They idle. They fluctuate thousands of times a second, driving load profiles that look less like a flat demand curve and more like an EKG. For utilities and transmission operators, that volatility is more than an inconvenience. It is a destabilizing force on local feeders and substations that were never designed to handle such rapid swings. https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/us-utility-giants-discuss-soaring-power-bills-grid-reforms-data-center-era Waymo Was on a Roll in San Francisco. Then One of Its Driverless Cars Killed a Cat.
The self-driving taxis have become ubiquitous in the city, but an uproar ensued when one ran over a beloved feline.
Kit Kat used to bar-hop along the block, slinking into Delirium for company and chin rubs. Everybody knew the bodega cat, affectionately calling him the Mayor of 16th Street. Kit Kat was their “dawg,” the guys hanging out on the corner said.
But shortly before midnight on Oct. 27, the tabby was run over just outside the bar and left for dead. The culprit?
A robot taxi.
Hundreds of animals are killed by human drivers in San Francisco each year. But the death of a single cat, crushed by the back tire of a Waymo self-driving taxi, has infuriated some residents in the Mission who loved Kit Kat — and led to consternation among those who resent how automation has encroached on so many parts of society. https://archive.is/WcC1f#selection-581.0-603.333November 17, 2025 at 6:34 pm #207797John Day

Really worth reading, and not too long: Censored Lavrov interview with Italian media (FULL TEXT)
Lavrov has commented on the aborted meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Budapest
The understandings reached in Anchorage were an important milestone in the search for a long-term peace in Ukraine through overcoming the consequences of the violent anti-constitutional state coup in Kiev organised by the Obama administration in February 2014. The understandings are based on the existing reality and closely bound to the conditions of a just and lasting resolution of the Ukrainian crisis proposed by President Putin in June 2024. As far as we know, those conditions were heard and received, including publicly, by the Trump administration – mainly the condition that it is unacceptable to drag Ukraine into NATO to create strategic military threats to Russia directly on its borders.
Washington also openly admitted that it will not be able to ignore the territorial issue following the referendums in Russia’s five historical regions whose residents unambiguously chose self-determination apart from the Kiev regime that labelled them as “sub-humans,” “creatures,” and “terrorists,” and chose reunification with Russia.
The American concept that, at the US President’s instruction, his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff brought to Moscow the week before the Alaska summit was also built around the issues of security and territorial reality. President Putin told Donald Trump in Anchorage that we agreed to use this concept as a basis while proposing a specific step that opens a way for its practical implementation.
The US leader said that he should consult with his allies; however, after the meeting with his allies that took place in Washington the next day, we did not receive a reaction to our positive response to the proposals that Steve Witkoff delivered to Moscow before Alaska. No reaction was communicated during my meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in September in New York when I reminded him that we were still expecting it.
To help our American colleagues decide on their own concept, we set forth the Alaska understandings in a non-paper and delivered it to Washington. Several days later, at Trump’s request, he and Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation and reached a preliminary agreement to meet in Budapest after thorough preparations for this summit. There was no doubt that they would discuss the understandings in Anchorage.
After a few days, I spoke with Marco Rubio over the phone. Washington described the conversation as constructive (it was indeed constructive and useful) and announced that, after that telephone conversation, an in-person meeting between the Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister in preparation for the top-level meeting was unnecessary.
Who and how submitted covert reports to the American leader after which he either postponed or cancelled the Budapest summit, I do not know. But I have described the general timeline strictly based on the facts for which I am responsible. I am not going to take responsibility for bluntly fake news about Russia’s lack of readiness for talks or sabotaging the outcomes of the Anchorage meeting. Please speak to The Financial Times regarding that. https://www.rt.com/russia/627767-censored-lavrov-interview-with-italian-liberal-newspaper/Kazakhstan, Russia Sign Landmark Comprehensive Alliance Declaration https://astanatimes.com/2025/11/kazakhstan-russia-sign-landmark-comprehensive-alliance-declaration/?

The veto comes just ten days before new US sanctions on Lukoil take effect, which could block the operation of its Bulgarian assets.

China solves ‘century-old problem’ with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs
Scientists in China have developed a new chip, with a twist: it’s analog, meaning it performs calculations on its own physical circuits rather than via the binary 1s and 0s of standard digital processors.
What’s more, its creators say the new chip is capable of outperforming top-end graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia and AMD by as much as 1,000 times.
In a new study published Oct. 13 in the journal Nature Electronics, researchers from Peking University said their device tackled two key bottlenecks: the energy and data constraints digital chips face in emerging fields like artificial intelligence (AI) and 6G, and the “century-old problem” of poor precision and impracticality that has limited analog computing. https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/china-solves-century-old-problem-with-new-analog-chip-that-is-1-000-times-faster-than-high-end-nvidia-gpusNovember 17, 2025 at 6:40 pm #207805John Day
Participant IBM unveils Loon and Nighthawk, next-generation processors for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing
Qubits are the fundamental unit of logical information in a quantum computer, similar to a classical computer’s bit. Unlike classical bits, which can be a 0 or 1, qubits can be 0, 1 or a “superposition” of both at the same time. Using this property, quantum processors such as IBM’s Nighthawk can do complex parallel calculations.
Tunable couplers push this even further by allowing pairs of qubits to interact with one another, thus enabling entanglement. Entanglement is useful because it allows a single computer operation to affect multiple quantum states across qubits at the same time, this allows quantum computers to explore many potential solutions in at the same time.
IBM said Nighthawk’s architecture will enable programmers to explore demanding problems that require up to 5,000 two-qubit gates. The company expects that future iterations of the processor will provide 7,500 gates by the end of 2026 and 15,000 gates by 2028.
With this new chip, IBM is working on a path toward what is called “quantum advantage”. https://siliconangle.com/2025/11/12/ibm-unveils-loon-nighthawk-next-generation-processors-scalable-fault-tolerant-quantum-computing/China Buys More Brazil Soybeans as US Purchases Stall https://farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2025/11/china-buys-more-brazil-soybeans-as-us-purchases-stall/

The TPDA would also hold funders and organizers to a strict nonviolence standard and would disqualify those who promote or tolerate violence from nonprofit protections or certain federal benefits.
Swart told Newsnation that he’s making his proposal to Congress because peaceful protest is supposed to be protected speech, saying, “This isn’t about stopping protest; it’s about protecting it. The First Amendment only works when Americans know who’s paying.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ceo-crowd-hire-company-calls-transparency-who-funds-demonstrationsNovember 17, 2025 at 6:42 pm #207807John Day
Participant British journalist detained by ICE says ‘there is a war on US freedom of speech’ – US immigration agents are ‘merciless’, Sami Hamdi told The Independent upon his release
A British journalist has claimed US immigration officials are conducting a “war against freedom of speech” as he arrived home in the UK after spending more than a fortnight in detention.
Sami Hamdi, 34, was held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at San Francisco International airport on 26 October after travelling to America for a speaking tour.
During his detention in a crowded space with between 80 and 90 inmates, he said he was left in “sheer agony”, with family and supporters pushing for his release after his health deteriorated. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sami-hamdi-released-ice-b2864694.html4+ years for us, now: Consumers Ditch Restaurants For Groceries As Budgets Break https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/consumers-ditch-restaurants-groceries-budgets-break

Participant“Report: “Don’t Tread on Me” Flags Not Working” – Bbee. 2025
“Poland Suspects Russia In “Unprecedented Act Of Sabotage” Of Rail Line
4 years later, why would they do that? They are my LAST suspect, they gain nothing, but cause a pan-NATO war on the cusp of total victory. Don’t worry – the West will find this totally plausible.
“”You Can’t Handle the Truth”: UK Health Watchdog Reportedly Refuses To Release Data On Vaccine Deaths
Science is when you have no data and no discussion.
“Climate Scientists Claim That Global Warming Is Going To Cause A New Ice Age?
Science says Heat = Cold, ackshully. Not the first time.
“Trump Hints US Might Still Be Talking With Maduro, Despite Huge Force Build-UpLike 100% of all the other times. Including Iran, last month.
“Trump Reverses on Epstein List” Because he was never against it to begin with. HOW can predicting this be so amazingly easy? Well, he needs to drag it out more so the media can’t sink and hide it when it comes out. Needs to be the biggest 3 ring circus in the history of circuses. To do that he needs to claim he was on the list he’s about to release and everybody here believes it.
…And this is AFTER Obama, everyone, completely caught up in running the govt on Jeffy’s behalf: Congress is live-texting what questions to ask in the Capital, Larry Summers asking him for dating advice…etc.
“So I believed I was walked in there as a challenge, and when I froze and didn’t respond, you know, I think Jeffrey got very upset about it. He expected a fight.”
Uhhh…that sounds like a blackmail setup. That’s what SHE is saying. So the only fact that doesn’t fit that pattern is the groping. The target doesn’t usually volunteer, then back away. So Trump called up to Doordash and was like “Hey I got 20 free minutes here Tuesday at 2:15, can you send someone over to be groped? All my 10/10 supermodels are busy right now.”
W.T.F. No. This is beyond that Trump is a notorious germophobe (thus no pee tapes) but ALSO notoriously paranoid about getting blackmailed and honey potted, and tells his staff regularly about it. Gee, I wonder why. How would he learn that, being in Manhattan for 50 years with Nexium, Epstein, and who’s that new JPM guy who would hire them to sign an NDA and then torture girls in his basement? Anyway, if you ASK, he told his staff for years to look out for this…so he then hired it in??
Well, I expect the Macy’s changing rooms were busy that day. That’s obviously where you go when you have 1,000 5-star hotel rooms and 4 yachts.
Lavrov: Alexander has non-stop blow by blow rundown of why Trump reversed peace after, and attacked Russia, being a totally pro-war maniac. Huh? By Alex’s OWN TIMELINE there is no conclusion other than Trump tried to get something, anything, to settle it, handed it to Europe and got the highest-level, most violent, instant NO. NO PEACE. Not now, not ever, over Europe’s dead body. So there was no need to waste time further. Lavrov here is intimating the same thing. WHY would he/they waste time on trying? A: Because that exposes EUROPE as not only the Pro-war maniacs killing millions, but the ONLY pro-war maniacs on all three continents. Them, only them, no one else. Not that that matters in Europe or our Europe-captured media. But we are not the only nations to sell the story to: there’s all the fringe nations (Serbia, Slovakia, Poland,) and the whole Global South (Brazil, Africa, Vietnam etc) Later when Europe collapses and the U.S. is just a nation, THEY are going to write the history of what happened here.
“Israeli crowd applauds soldiers accused of raping Palestinian prisoner
Most of the other rapes were of MEN too. But Israelis are gay-bois like that. What a joy to go down in history for! Man, who will even read about Nazi atrocities when you’ve got this to read! Why this isn’t the 1st top fact in every headline, I’m not sure. I think it would make ratings.
“Beijing vows to strike back if Japan uses military force in Taiwan Strait”
What’s the prophesy on Japan during armegeddon? Because Japan is a sitting duck and will cease to exist. China ain’t foolin’ around. That’s why the U.S. want THEM to die while we have zero ships built. “Sorry, old pal, you know we WOULD, but ….” A page right out of the British handbook.
“US Agrees To $330 Million Sale Of Fighter Jets To Taiwan,”
See? F-35s. They’re all going to die.
“Before Trump ordered nuclear testing to resume: US tests B61-12 nuclear bomb without warhead”
That’s what people thought he meant. While everyone, Duran, Ritter, MacGregor, Haiphong, all jumped to Trump big dick contest with Nevada mushroom clouds weekly. No. You dips. Use your #@*$ pudding pans, will ya? So a jet dropped a rock which bounced on the ground. This is the difference between your deranged fantasies and the real world. Don’t worry: now that it’s happened, they won’t notice. It will be “Trump is an idiot who nuked Carson City, Nevada” again tomorrow. Oh that didn’t happen? Neither did anything else they keep reporting.
“Labour government proposes three year real terms pay cut for teachers”
Nothing says “Labour” like attacking union workers. While protecting corporations.
“he was bureucratically sabotaged from the outset: If true, this explains a great deal about the current administration and why Kennedy can get so little done” Yes, O’Keefe had this out even before he was seated, with everyone there vowing to refuse all legal orders. They constantly act like this is new, first report, etc. No, bureaucracy refusing all orders is 100 years old, you watched 10 seasons in “Yes, Minister.” We just watched 10 years in real-time news since 2015.
“Was COVID always a CIA plot?” Well it was patented and created a cure in 2015, you tell me.
“Trump seems to be a Zionist puppet” We know that by the way he didn’t attack Iran and Iran didn’t attack them back. But we DO know that Zion is trying to split MAGA and crows daily that’s already happened, MAGA is dead!…killed by their tag team of Candice, Shapiro, Fuentes, et al, all directed actors of Zion, while ANY thing wanted by the American people is memory-holed. …Even as it’s happening, like $2000 checks and breaking Insurance cartels. Nope. It’s all Soap Opera pop-star True Crime now.
No. This is all an op, and BY them speaking, we know they MUST be paid by the op. There’s no one that can’t see this. Here the Judge is playing his part down at the Fox News Corral. Keep ‘em fenced in. So dum.
How does this work? Judge is pro Trump, pro-Maga, like Fuentes. Then any time it comes down to it, he says “But we’ve been betrayed, now’s not a good time to vote, should probably go Kamala/Yang” – which is what Fuentes did. Then after Trump wins, they say, “Wow, great! Just kidding, I’m his greatest fan! …Except for this ONE thing over here that says Cheeto is a traitor, has dementia, is time to retire…” (unrolls Christmas scroll of crimes that rolls out the door.) Wow! True allies! I guess we would have been better off with Hillary, Podesta, and Bolton, eh boyz? Yup. Whenever possible, vote the lesser of two evils, unless someone isn’t perfect, then walk off and vote the GREATER of two evils.
This is everywhere on the Right, all the time. When someone isn’t QUITE perfect, we have to throw him in prison and let the devils run free. It’s alright then: Devils are supposed to do that. It’s all part of The PLAN, as the Joker would say. It’s when anyone tries to enforce the law that everybody loses their minds. Don’t you know Officer O’Malley threw a gum wrapper once and was seen roughing up a drunk? Can’t have no enforcin’ the laws ‘round here then! Al Capone it is!

Trump Flipped on Epstein” If by that you mean, not-flipped, then yes? It’s the same as ever? He was never Pro- Jeffy and kicked him out of the club decades ago, turned state’s evidence, and now is…the same? That’s “Flipping” now.
“Larry C. Johnson: Leaked Epstein Revelations Send Trump Into Total Panic” If by “Panic” you mean he/they laughed as it was all Democratic leaks with everything Trump being long since released and nothing, then yes?
“Nose Ring’d Morons are Realizing That Killing Charlie Kirk Has Backfired Salty Cracker
Since they were not all in on it, they did not “Suddenly realize” nor was there a goal, as they didn’t co-plan it. It also didn’t backfire, it’s helping fuel a US Civil War between factions…for no earthly reason. So if Yes = No, then Yes.“Central Bank Meltdown” – Rafi If by “Meltdown” you mean nothing happened that anyone can point at and Dow is 40k with lending going briskly, then yes, total worldwide meltdown.
“Trump Won’t Survive: What He Just Did DESTROYS MAGA | George Galloway” “MAGA is DEAD!” Haiphong
If by that you mean, Trump remains President and can’t be removed, MAGA and GOP are doing whatever they like including cramming a budget down DNC throats then yes, they’re totally destroyed by winning only a day ago. Dead = 54% of voters. This is unlike “Totally alive!” Starmer, Macron, Sgt Schultz, at 10% support ratings. Because “Democracy”, they are the will of the people and not in trouble at all. Also they can be No-confidence’d out, which Cheeto cannot.“Zelensky is DONE, Putin Wins AGAIN as Ukraine Crumbles Within | Mark Sleboda Danny Haiphong” If by that you mean nothing happened, it’s exactly the same as 2022, then yes. Same war, same corruption, same leaders, same support, same “Frozen” line. That’s what they mean by “Crumbles”, “Totally different now.”
“Trump Goes to War!!!” — CryptoRich. If by “Goes to war” you mean “Pulled out of every war”, normalized relations, opened dialogue with Russia and even Venezuela, stopped and left Iran, declared no war with China, and has hit fewer things than you can count on two hands, then yes. Totally we’re at war on every front. Didn’t you see them draft and boot camp the required 2M men? I mean, how did you miss that?
“It’s Over” BTC Channel. If by “Over” you mean BTC is near $100k and in a 1yr trading range, then yes. $100k in Free money = Over.
“Public Humiliation of MTG” – Crosman If by “Humiliation” you mean “Politicians said things” like “Every other day of their lives” then yes. Politicians DO say things. Like when Kamala said Biden was a demented pedo on the debate stage and was then his top VP, then replaced him. That kind of “humiliation” you can’t take back and MAGA Is Dead. I mean you remember how Rubio and Cruz attacked Trump and they’re both in prison now and not top dogs in the administration now, right?
“Trump Destroys the BBC” If by that you mean, “The BBC LIED, made everything up while Trump watched” then yes. The fact that he was the target of their lies = him attacking THEM. You see. Always the guy who GETS shot, has the bullet wound, is in fact the murderer. The one who SHOT the bullet is the victim. That’s common sense for the BBC and apparently all commenters on YouTube.
“Trump Ends Ukraine War — Globalists Panic… | COL. Douglas Macgregor” If by that you mean the war is still going on briskly and no one noticed a change, then yes. The war is totally ended. And If by “Globalists Panic” you mean, “They just kept doing what they’re doing and didn’t notice” then yes, that’s “panicking.” All = Nothing. Nothing = All.
Hundred and hundred and hundred and hundreds, scrolling on to the end of the Internet.
“Hollywood is over” “No one saw this coming” “What “They” didn’t tell you.” “Why is nobody talking about this thing everyone is talking about?” “You were lied to” (by your barber at the age of 9). “I’m Done!” “We’re Cooked.”
Not a single coherent fact if you took the lot of them and rendered down half the internet like a tub of lard.

ParticipantA Technocratic Feudalism
AI data sets are the key this social credit nightmare.City-States Without Limits – Part 1
A powerful group of Silicon Valley oligarchs are using the Trump administration to push for the construction of Privatized City-States in the US.
Their interests are aligned with a global network of oligarchs who want to move away from the global governance of nation-states to the global governance of an international network of city-states.
The intention is for the city-states to form a “patchwork” of realms overseen by a regional balance of power global governance system: the Multipolar World Order.

ParticipantSanctuary Cities
Proof of Concept
From City-States Without Limits – Part 1
“New city-states—some being constructed from scratch and others being seeded into existing cities—go by many names.
In the US, President Donald Trump has called them “Freedom Cities.”
The United Nations refers to them as “human settlements,” the C40 Cities Network calls them “15 minute cities,” The Global Parliament of Mayors sometimes refers to them as “resilient cities,” and the Charter Cities Institute calls them, unsurprisingly, “charter cities.”
But whatever they are called, they have a defined set of common characteristics.
All of these emerging city-states are centrally planned and designed to maximise the use of technology.
Some are already close to becoming completed “smart cities.” Many of these new city-states, as yet undeclared, have been given independent jurisdiction with varying degrees of autonomy from the nation-states in which they reside.
Perhaps their most striking shared trait is their universal commitment to implement global governance policy initiatives. To this end, many nascent city-states have already joined city-based global governance networks.
Their development is being driven by a public-private partnership investment strategy that is encouraged and supported at the global governance level. Some are currently being built in so called “Special Economic Zones” (SEZs).
Other announced city-state developments, such as Freedom Cities in the US, bear all the hallmarks of SEZs. The global proliferation of Special Economic Zones, most notably those with “residential spaces,” is rapidly expanding the potential locations for yet more city-state projects. There are already thousands.
Conspicuous philosophical and political theories, and the city-state landscape forming before our eyes, redefines our concept of global governance.
The notion of phasing out the purported “sovereignty” of nation-states is now firmly embedded in the strategies to develop a new kind of intergovernmental structure.
One in which the city predominates.
The concept of a worldwide network of privatized, corporate city-state “kingdoms” has been embraced and is viewed as the best and most expedient method both for enslaving humanity to a centralised digital surveillance and behavioural control grid, and for establishing firm global governance.

ParticipantTrumptard is shilling the concept
Big Shities
Freedom Cities is a concept proposed by Donald Trump for developing up to ten new master-planned cities on federal land in the United States.
The proposal was introduced as part of his 2024 presidential campaign and involves holding a contest to award development rights to private entities
Hot Air
“Trump first announced the Freedom Cities proposal in a campaign video on March 3, 2023.
He called for a “quantum leap in the American standard of living” and framed the project as a return to the nation’s ambitious, frontier-settling past, comparing it to the development of the transcontinental railroad and the Interstate Highway System.

ParticipantPatchwork Government
In essence, the Dark Enlightenment proposes that public sector government should be replaced with a form of private sector government. Privatized, corporate realms should be ruled by the CEO “TechnoKings” of “sovereign corporations” (sovcorps) as dictatorships. The realms can then be linked to form what Yarvin termed a “Patchwork” of realms. In 2008, describing his notion of the “Patchwork,” Yarvin wrote:
The basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions.
