"It's a digital neo-feudalism...the digital gulag...you're given a 10-year sentence in the in the digital gulag and there's no appeal, you can't call somebody up at big tech and say 'hey, you know, I think you guys got this wrong'. No, there's nothing. In fact, you don't even know what crime you were accused of or the sentence, and there's no appeal. So this in itself is sinister.
Unlike civil society where there's a legal system of some kind, there's no recourse in big tech neo-feudalism. You can't even go to the noble, you know, the castle on the hill, and beg for forgiveness or whatever. And so I think it is extremely dangerous." Charles Hugh Smith of OfTwoMinds.com 📲

"The Progressive movement started in America with the idea of rejecting the moral and political authority of the U.S. Constitution and destroying the machinery of the republic.
When you have unaccountable consolidated power it becomes authoritarian, and that was the whole point with progressivism. The "enlightened state" in their minds is salvation." Ned Ryun of NedRyun.com 🗽

"They already had a path...it involved crypto, a control grid, nanotech...a lot of that was already worked out in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2000s they've worked it into a more mature solution. I was hearing about cryptocurrency way back...they had plans for it a long time ago. All of that has been a preset plan." Bruce LaDuke 📲

"This sounds regime change-like to me...there's elections in South Africa, there's a lot of internal interests in South Africa, and it won't surprise me if the U.S. or the Israeli lobby or whoever will try and leverage this issue to take power from Ramaphosa and ANC."

NEW PODCAST! 🇮🇳🌍
Indian geopolitical analyst, scientist, and podcaster Abhijit Chavda explores India’s evolving role in global geopolitics, particularly amid the rise of multipolarity and intensifying U.S.-China tensions.

Chuck Baldwin discusses how the Trump administration has unprecedentedly been staffed with billionaires and technocrats. Vance is a virtual toady for Peter Thiel and Baldwin expects Vance to take the helm in 2028. He’s worried about Trump’s claims there’d be no more elections after 2028, which can be explained by algocracy (rule by algorithm). The administration is pushing a century-old plan to implement a world government divided into a few regions or zones. He believes the UN will be replaced. He explains Scofield’s influence on American evangelicalism, how this relates to Zionism, what is going on in Gaza, and the specter of war with Iran. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2025/04/19/baldwin-technocracy-zionism-trump
