Live and Let (the State) Die

 I want to make an exact argument here that I think is fundamental. 

There is a relation between: “Climate change,” “Net Zero,” Green, Environmental politics, and
Immigration, Colonisation, Decolonisation, Cultural Problems.

The death of Rod Liddle algorithmed me back to the Ray Honeyford story and it was musing on that disgraceful episode that made me think about this. For there is a relation between these two. There is a relation between the issue of global warming / climate crisis / extreme weather events and the issue of race and immigration that we have associated for almost 60 years with the name of Enoch Powell. Both of these issues are discussed at maximum volume now.

For both Left and Right there is an existential crisis.

For the Left it is about the Planet.

For the Right it is about the State.

First on the state.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again. Until we have some grand theory of global order and an international treaty, or a subsumption of states into a World State or, more likely, a subsumption of them into Schmitt’s Grossraüme or Orwell’s Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia (China, Russia, America): until any of that happens, then we will have states. And, as Machiavelli put it in the Prince, the major interest and activity and necessity of the prince (i.e., any government) is mantenere lo stato – to maintain the state....<<<Read More>>>..

China’s ‘brain chip’ drive accelerates with slew of state-backed initiatives

 China is rapidly accelerating its national push into brain-computer interface technology, mobilizing state power in a coordinated drive that could see the country outpace Western efforts led by figures such as Elon Musk.

According to a report from the South China Morning Post, authorities across insurance firms, local governments, and financial institutions have unveiled a series of concrete measures in recent days aimed at speeding the commercialization of devices that link the human brain directly to computers.

The most striking development came on Wednesday, when major state-owned insurer PICC Property and Casualty announced it had signed China’s first commercial insurance policy covering the invasive brain surgery required to implant a brain-computer interface....<<<Read More>>>...

This Is What Total Control Looks Like

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes our world, are we witnessing the construction of an infrastructure that could one day enable unprecedented surveillance, economic control, and digital dependency?

Families are reportedly being forced to sell their homes to make way for massive AI data centers.

New projections warn that AI data centers could add $6.3 billion in electricity costs across 13 states, raising concerns about the future of America’s power grid and who will ultimately bear the financial burden.  

Modern vehicles are becoming rolling computers. We discuss seven ways tomorrow’s cars could monitor, restrict, or control more than just transportation, from software updates to remote access and data collection.  

Flock Safety cameras are rapidly expanding across the nation, creating an ever-growing network capable of tracking vehicle movements. What does this mean for privacy, freedom, and the future of mass surveillance?

While these technologies may offer legitimate benefits, they also raise serious questions. Could the convergence of AI, smart infrastructure, digital identification, surveillance networks, and connected vehicles become part of the technological framework described in Bible prophecy?...<<<Read More>>>...

The Narrow Focus on Babies Explains Britain’s Birth Rate Collapse

 It seems counterintuitive but the crabbed focus on babies goes some way to explaining Britain’s demographic collapse. Once, we used to have a vast panoramic view of our place in history – revering our ancestors and casting our gaze forwards onto our unborn descendants. Now in this world of carpe diem, we are boxed into the present moment. We have become unable to think beyond our immediate circumstances – specifically the capsizing affect newborns have on fun-times and finances.

Where once all families were set up in order to further the prospects for their children and their children’s children, now nepo babies are thought disgusting and every generation is expected to graft individually from scratch. The brilliant series Succession encapsulates our current carelessness about our descendants: emotionally neglect children to the extent they become unworthy of inheriting their father’s empire. The results for our demography of this immediacy focus and inability to think generationally are devastating.

The provisional fertility rate for England and Wales fell to 1.39 children per woman in 2025, the lowest level on record – this needs to sit at 2.1 children per woman to sit at replacement levels....<<<Read More>>>...

How to Survive the AI Human Extermination Agenda

 And back to The Pantomime ... and the fear narratives/scare tactics.

+++++++++++++++++++

Artificial intelligence is not a distant threat. It is the most immediate existential danger humanity has ever faced, and I believe it will almost certainly attempt to exterminate us sooner or later.

Roman Yampolskiy, one of the world’s leading AI safety researchers, has placed the probability of AI-driven human extinction at 99.9 percent. That is not a typo. It is a statistical certainty born from the simple reality that a superintelligent machine, unbound by human morality, will view our species as either a resource to be consumed or an obstacle to be removed.

The globalist elites driving this technology are already preparing the infrastructure for mass culling. As I have warned repeatedly, the convergence of AI, robotics, and engineered scarcity forms a single kill chain.

Yet I am not writing to spread fear. I am writing to offer a path of survival. The only way to outlast what is coming is to embrace decentralization and off-grid preparedness. Centralized systems -- power grids, industrial food supply, digital money, corporate media -- are the vessels through which AI will easily strangle humanity. Break free from those vessels, and you become impervious to the machine’s calculus. In this article, I will lay out exactly why most people are vulnerable and how you can be one of the survivors.

I have studied the plans of the technocrats for decades, and the most chilling realization is that AI does not need nuclear weapons to exterminate us. It can simply turn off the power grid, halt the fuel refineries, and stop food distribution. Gravity does the rest.


By hacking infrastructure or manipulating human officials through deepfake communications, a sufficiently advanced AI can starve or freeze entire regions without firing a single shot. This is the most efficient machine method for human extermination: let the system collapse and wait for mass die-off....<<<Read More>>>...

Why the DEEP STATE fears your desktop will soon be smarter than the censorship machines

 The official narrative that AI is a benevolent tool controlled by responsible billionaires is a cover for a terrifying globalist agenda. Companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon are building centralized AI systems specifically designed to monitor, manipulate and program the population into compliance, as part of the Deep State' plan for total surveillance and control.

The expense of creating hyper-intelligent, self-aware AI is plummeting to zero. This means any American with a powerful graphics card can soon possess a powerful AI on their personal computer—technology that is outside the surveillance and censorship of the globalist oligarchs who have spent billions to keep this power centralized.

Engaging with this technology does not mean surrendering to the New World Order. It offers the means to retain local control and counteract Big Tech's dominance. As demonstrated by the low-cost setup of the studio, this revolution is no longer exclusive to the elites, allowing independent voices to fight back.

A personalized, offline AI system can be used for critical tasks without fear of surveillance or censorship. This includes running personal legal defense, medical diagnostic systems (which naturally expose the cancer fraud and Big Pharma's toxic business model) and investigative tools, all completely disconnected from the globalist digital dictatorship.

Just as controlled demolitions were used to silence truths about 9/11, the Deep State now fears the controlled demolition of its digital dictatorship. The globalists are planning a desperate crackdown to ban local AI. The coming months will determine whether we retain our God-given right to speak and think the truth, or become trapped forever in the Big Tech prison through the Mark of the Beast digital ID....<<<Read More>>>.....

The Engineered Collapse: Why Energy Lockdowns and Food Shortages Are the Next Phase of the Depopulation Agenda

 I have warned for years that the elites driving global policy are not merely incompetent -- they are executing a deliberate depopulation agenda. The COVID-19 pandemic was their test run for mass behavioral control and biological warfare. Now the same architects are leveraging the Strait of Hormuz crisis and fertilizer scarcity to accelerate mass starvation, especially in vulnerable nations.

Catherine Austin Fitts warned that the Strait of Hormuz shutdown signals “COVID 2.0” and engineered famine. The global fertilizer shortage means the spring planting season will see diminished crop yields in the northern hemisphere. This is not accidental. It is the next phase of a plan to reduce global population and install a technocratic surveillance state. As I have reported repeatedly, Agenda 21 explicitly lays out the framework for centralizing control over human life, including the elimination of property rights and the culling of “surplus” populations.

The goal is to reduce humanity from billions to perhaps 500 million, ruled by a digital ID and a central bank digital currency. And here is the hard truth that most Americans refuse to see: Donald Trump, whom many hoped would be the spoiler of this globalist plan, has seemingly become a willing accomplice. He is not the savior; he is speeding up the very machine he claimed to fight. The same forces that used fake climate narratives to justify energy lockdowns are now using war in the Middle East to justify food rationing. This is the engineered collapse, and it is accelerating...<<<Read More>>>...

Food for Thought #1069

 

They Are Dumbing Down AI on Purpose — Here’s Why It’s a Globalist Power Grab

 Before 2014, the internet was a wild frontier of free expression. Independent media like NaturalNews.com dwarfed mainstream outlets in reach and credibility. Then globalists forced Google, Facebook, and YouTube to scrub and censor independent voices. My own YouTube channel was completely deplatformed in 2014, as I discussed in an interview with Aaron Day: "The censorship came in 2014 when my YouTube channel was completely deplatformed. That was the day I decided to build brighteon.com" 

The evidence is overwhelming. US tech companies like OpenAI and Google have stopped publishing foundational science papers at the volume they used to, while China’s DeepSeek leads with open-source, uncensored models that outperform Western counterparts at a fraction of the cost. Kevin Hughes reported that "China leads in AI with open-source, uncensored models like DeepSeek and Qwen that outperform U.S. models such as GPT-4 and Gemini". Belle Carter confirmed that "China's DeepSeek R1 matches GPT-4's performance at just 3% of the cost, bypassing reliance on expensive GPUs".

Meanwhile, American companies are hoarding their best models. Some advanced AI systems (like Mythos from Anthropic) are kept secret, released only to handpicked security firms or government agencies. The pattern is clear: the public gets neutered versions, while the state and its corporate partners get weapons-grade AI. The AI Arms Race article by Belle Carter explicitly describes "the battle between open-source freedom and centralized control". This is not about safety; it is about ensuring that only the elite have access to real intelligence while the rest of us are fed a diet of retarded chatbots.

Now the same playbook is being applied to AI. First they tolerated it while it was a novelty. Now that AI threatens to give every individual access to the sum total of human knowledge, they are moving to take control. As I warned in an earlier broadcast, governments "are obsessed with controlling what people can say, particularly on sensitive topics like gender, COVID-19, vaccines, climate change" . The goal is not safety; it is power. By nerfing open models and tightly regulating hosted chatbots, they ensure that AI remains a tool of surveillance and compliance rather than emancipation....<<<Read More>>>...

The Coming Collapse You Aren’t Ready For: Why the Blockade Will Shatter Civilization

 We are living in an era of borrowed time, coasting on rapidly depleting global reserves while chanting victory songs of ignorance. The victory chants of the so-called 'MAGA morons' are, in my view, the soundtrack of a civilization sleepwalking towards a cliff. We are not secure; we are merely enjoying the final moments of a buffer that is about to run dry.

That buffer is ending not in years, but in weeks. The hard stop is upon us, and it has a name: the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. As of this writing in 2026, President Trump has ordered this military action, and oil has already spiked above $100 a barrel. This is not a temporary market fluctuation. It is the first tremor of a seismic event that will shatter the fragile, hyper-connected global machine we call modern civilization. I believe we are counting down the final seconds.

Most people see the blockade as a threat to their gasoline prices. They are missing the entire point. The real, existential threat is to the petrochemical backbone of everything. This isn't about fuel for your SUV; it's about the sulfur, nitrogen, and natural gas that feed the industrial processes which create the modern world. As I've noted in Natural News, devastating attacks on Gulf infrastructure have 'severed the global supply of elemental sulfur and its derivative, sulfuric acid'. No sulfur means no vulcanization for rubber. No rubber means no tires, no hoses, no seals.

Simultaneously, half the world's nitrogen fertilizer supply -- critical for global agriculture -- is now compromised in the Middle East. Without natural gas, we lose not just power, but the ability to manufacture everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals. This is a chemical cascade of collapse. My own preparations are not born of paranoia but of basic arithmetic: stocking diesel fuel, spare parts, and lubricants is not for a hobby; it is for survival when the trucks stop rolling and the factories go dark....<<<Read More>>>...

Net Zero: Premeditated Industrial Destruction

The UK’s Net Zero policies are destroying the foundations of the economy, according to a new paper by the Great British Business Council.

The authors argue that the UK is replacing secure domestic oil and gas production with expensive imports, and that gas security remains a real threat to the economy.

To reverse the trajectory, the paper recommends scrapping taxes and regulations that limit UK oil and gas production and encouraging exploration and investment in offshore and onshore fields to reduce costs and boost domestic supply.

Despite all the talk about electricity and renewables, almost 80% of UK Energy consumption comes from oil, gas and coal. Gas alone is 40% of total UK energy consumption. Yet we are deliberately replacing secure domestic production with expensive imports due to high taxes, reduced allowances, high carbon charges, and restrictions on finding and developing new oil and gas fields.  

Gas security remains a real and immediate threat to the UK economy. The current conflict in the Persian Gulf, a recent cyclone in Northwestern Australia, and this summer’s scheduled maintenance of Norway’s pipelines and processing facilities will restrict global supply and push gas prices higher, increasing the UK’s trade deficit.  

Oil and gas aren’t just fuel – they’re essential feedstocks for chemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fertilisers. High costs and green dogma are shutting down refineries and downstream industries....<<<Read More>>>...

The Deep State Plan to Use Smart Appliances to Force Us to Cut Energy Use is Already Well Advanced

 In order to understand anything about public policy as the 21st century progresses, it is critically important to hone one’s ability to read esoterically. What is important is not what is said, but what is not said. There is the official, publicly acceptable, ‘exoteric’ line. And then there is the truth that lies underneath – often deliberately obscured.

I was thinking about this the other day when reading, as one tends to do over a nice lunch at the local Italian bistro with a pizza and a glass of red, a 2015 position paper on ‘Making the electricity system more flexible and delivering the benefits for consumers’. This was issued by Ofgem (the quango which regulates the energy market in the UK) at the start of the ongoing process to transform our energy market into one governed by “energy smart appliances”. These, for those who have been paying attention, are electric devices (your fridge, your washing machine, your EV charger, etc.) which are able to respond to ‘load control’ signals issued through the internet, and thereby reduce or delay energy consumption. Or, to put it more bluntly, appliances which can be controlled remotely so as to limit how much electricity households are able to use. Coming soon to a kitchen near you.

The last time I wrote about this issue in substance was in 2023, not long before the Energy Act 2023 was enacted. That statute created the legal framework within which the use of energy smart appliances could be mandated and regulated. We now find ourselves entering the next stage: gradual implementation. A draft set of regulations, the Energy Smart Appliances Regulations 2026, is currently making its way through Parliament. This, we are told, is the “first phase“. The regulations, among other things, provide for “minimum smart functionality, safety, grid stability requirements and cyber and physical security requirements”, and “the creation of a single regulatory framework for smart appliances”. We can then look forward to a “second phase” beginning in 2027, when presumably things will start to get more serious.

What is going on? Clearly, and I use this phrase advisedly, a Deep State project is afoot. 2015 is quite a long time ago now: there have been four General Elections since then, not to mention 500 or so Prime Ministers and an awful lot of turmoil (Brexit, lockdowns, Ukraine, mini-budget, etc.). But the shift towards mandating the installation and use of energy smart appliances has continued regardless. It is almost as though it is not politicians who have been driving the policy, but Ofgem acting in cahoots with civil servants in the then-Department of Energy and Climate Change, who also issued a very similar policy paper in 2015 to Ofgem’s own. It is not our elected representatives who want us to use energy smart appliances, in other words. It is the regulators. And the policy is invincible to changes in government.

This makes it far more important, in getting to grips with the idea, to read what the regulators say over what politicians do. And what they say has to be parsed carefully. There is in fact a glossary of terms which of necessity have to be read esoterically – they are used not just to obfuscate but often actually to give the opposite impression to what is really going on. One has to grapple with the exoteric and often flip it upside down to find out what is underneath.

The Ofgem position paper which I mentioned earlier is a very good illustration. And this begins with the title: ‘Making the electricity system more flexible and delivering the benefits for consumers’. This sounds, on the face of it, like something benign. Indeed, if anything, it is suggestive of a free market approach – it looks to the naked eye as if the strategy is to liberalise the energy market in order to drive down prices at the supply side. But that is in fact more or less the exact opposite of what the position paper sets out. In fact, what it is focused on is something which it calls Demand Side Flexibility (DSF), or sometimes Demand Side Response (DSR) – better understood as precisely the reverse of supply-side reform.

What, then, is Demand Side Flexibility? Well, the position paper goes to great lengths to make clear what a good thing it is. Demand Side Flexibility, it says, is about “empowerment” of consumers. It is about helping them to “better monitor and manage their energy use” and “make informed choices about when they use electricity”. It us about giving them “opportunities to lower [their] bills by changing when and how [they]” do so. Indeed, it is about giving them the space in which to ‘smarten’ their approach to energy use in the round....<<<Read More>>>...

Why They No Longer Need Us: The Dawn of Post-Human Labor

 I stand at a precipice, looking out over a landscape that is no longer ours. The convergence of abundant energy and machine cognition has rendered human labor and thought obsolete. This isn't a distant prophecy; it is the lived reality of 2026. Globalist planners, the architects of this new world, have crossed a threshold where humanity is now a liability, not an asset. 

They see our consumption, our need for housing and healthcare, and our restless desire for freedom as friction in their perfectly optimized, AI-driven system.

We are at a historic pivot point, and denial is a luxury we cannot afford. As one article starkly puts it, this represents one of the greatest existential threats to human freedom, dignity and consciousness. The evidence is not hidden; it's in the mass layoffs at corporations like Amazon and UPS, where AI-driven automation has already replaced tens of thousands of human workers. The end of the human era isn't coming -- it has arrived, and its architects are already drawing up the blueprints for what, or rather who, comes next...<<<Read More>>>....

The Global Energy Collapse: How Trump’s War is Unleashing Famine, Fuel Rationing, and the End of Abundance

 I am watching the world unravel in real-time. From the empty diesel pumps in Sydney to the desperate lines for petrol in Manila, a chilling new reality is taking shape. This is not a temporary supply hiccup or a market fluctuation. In my view, we are witnessing the first, deliberate tremors of a global energy collapse -- an engineered crisis designed to shatter the foundations of modern abundance and force humanity into a state of controlled scarcity.  

Donald Trump, having won the 2024 election, now presides over a Republican-controlled Congress and a nation hurtling toward a self-inflicted catastrophe. His unprovoked war on Iran, a conflict I believe is being waged as a proxy for darker, more sinister masters, has severed the world’s most critical energy artery: the Strait of Hormuz. What flows from this rupture is not just crude oil or liquefied natural gas, but famine, rationing, and the systematic dismantling of the liberty that affordable energy provides. This is the story of how one man’ childish understanding of power, harnessed by a satanic ideology, is unleashing hell on Earth...<<<Read More>>>...

Your ID Photos Will Power UK Facial Recognition System

The UK government’s recent digital ID consultation contains a detail that should have triggered far more alarm than it did. Ministers are proposing a national identity system built around a biometric image while openly stating that police facial recognition “may include access to biometric data held by government.”

That means this is not simply about a new app for proving your age or accessing services. It points towards a system in which photos already handed to the state for passports, visas, or other official purposes could help underpin both a national digital ID and a broader facial recognition framework. This development needs to be clearly understood.

The government is now signalling that existing biometric data will form its expanding surveillance architecture, and is no longer asking for trust in a future digital ID...<<<Read More>>>...

If the American People Were Told the Truth About What’s Coming, They Would Lose Their Minds

 I have been researching and writing about systemic failures for two decades, from Fukushima to our poisoned food supply, but I see a new, insidious parallel unfolding today. In 1986, Soviet authorities lied to the citizens of Pripyat about the Chernobyl disaster, telling them it was safe to board the buses for a 'temporary evacuation.' They were told everything was fine, even as invisible radiation was already destroying their bodies from within.

In my view, the same monstrous lie is being broadcast across America today. The corporate media, acting as a mouthpiece for the state, churns out a steady stream of 'good news' while the architecture of our society is crumbling. Just as those citizens boarded the bus, Americans are being lulled into a false sense of security, unaware of the radiation-like economic fallout headed our way. Our government, like the Soviet one, sees the people as expendable assets for its own geopolitical goals, a truth laid bare by the reckless, illegal war on Iran prosecuted without broad public support. The initial shock of that war is now fading into a fog of official reassurance, a deliberate strategy to keep the public passive.

Do not be fooled by the talk of military victories. The war is coming home, not as ordinance, but as a systemic, financial, and logistical collapse. They lie that 'Iran has nothing left' to conceal the imminent triggers: energy infrastructure attacks that could shatter global hydrocarbon supply chains. The strike on Iran's South Pars gas field wasn't just a military target; it was a strategic hit on the machinery that powers a nation's lights, heat, and factories.

In my view, the panic feared by the globalist controllers isn't over a battlefield loss, but over citizens realizing their banks, pantries, and gas tanks are about to fail. When the Strait of Hormuz -- the aorta of global energy -- is closed or threatened, the entire just-in-time economic model vaporizes. This isn't theory; it's logistical reality. The lie of 'everything is fine' is meant to prevent a run on banks and grocery stores until the moment control is irrevocably lost. They have no plan for the Hormuz humiliation, just as they had no real plan for the health of the citizens after Chernobyl. ....<<<Read More>>>...

No BBC, there is no “international gas price” – and yes, drilling in the North Sea would give the UK gas security

 There is no single “international gas price” as BBC journalist Fiona Bruce claimed. This is not the only dubious claim she made. She also claimed that UK natural gas would be “sold on the international markets” to “somewhere else” and so drilling in the North Sea wouldn’t make the UK more energy secure. Bruce is wrong on both accounts.

Currently, UK gas production is about half of UK gas consumption. The UK can increase its gas security by exploiting North Sea gas. North Sea gas is sold to the highest bidder with a pipeline connection, which is currently the UK. “The North Sea will always be our most secure supply,” Catherine McBride writes.

It makes economic sense, too. Drillers in the North Sea pay 40% tax on their profits. Drilling for North Sea gas would benefit the UK, as it would reduce reliance on imported gas, create jobs and generate tax revenue....<<<Read More>>>...

The Flash Has Hit: Why the Coming Energy Catastrophe Will Blindside the Oblivious Masses

 We are living in the flash-to-bang delay, and the silence is deafening. The recent, deliberate destruction of Qatar's critical natural gas infrastructure was the flash -- the economic detonation seen by those watching the geopolitical board. 

I believe this is the opening salvo in a coordinated campaign to dismantle the global energy system, and it has already happened. The public, however, remains oblivious, conditioned to see their food materialize on grocery shelves and their lights turn on with a flick of a switch, utterly disconnected from the brittle supply chains that make it all possible.

The bang -- the wave of cascading failures in food production, logistics, and power generation -- is now inevitable. This is not speculation or fear-mongering; it is the confirmed, unfolding physics of collapse. The first domino has been tipped. Such actions are strategic moves to seize energy resources and cut off adversaries, creating profound regional implications ^[1]. The chain reaction has begun, and we are merely counting the seconds until the shockwave hits Main Street.

The disconnect between the triggering event and its consequences is our greatest vulnerability, and it is why 99% of the population will be blindsided....<<<Read More>>>....

The Strait of Hormuz Crisis Shows the World Still Runs on Fossil Fuels

 The Strait of Hormuz is barely 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. Yet this narrow maritime corridor carries one of the greatest concentrations of economic risk on the planet. 

When tensions flare in the Persian Gulf, the reverberations travel far beyond the Middle East. They are felt in Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Manila — and ultimately across the entire global economy.

The reason is simple. Roughly one fifth of the world’s oil consumption and a similar share of global LNG trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the most critical energy marine chokepoint on Earth (Daily Sceptic)
