The True Horrors of China’s Social Credit System
China is a test market for high-tech state repression elsewhere.
The Truth About Critical Methods | James Lindsay
James Lindsay on the theology of the new theocracy. The two most important things that are happening in the developed world at the present time are the re-feudalization of class relations and the growth of totalitarian humanism as the self-legitimating ideology of the rising ruling class. Just as […]
Homeland Security Worries Covid-19 Masks Are Breaking Facial Recognition, Leaked Document Shows
By Mara Hvistendahl, Sam Biddle The Intercept While doctors and politicians still struggle to convince Americans to take the barest of precautions against Covid-19 by wearing a mask, the Department of Homeland Security has an opposite concern, according to an “intelligence note” found among the BlueLeaks trove of […]
The rise of digital feudalism in a multipolar, unstable world
By Ramon Blecua Responsible Statecraft The current global health emergency provoked by COVID-19 is accelerating deep changes that will have far reaching implications not only for the way international relations are conducted but in every aspect of social life and economic activity. The influence of powerful non-state actors […]
Facebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea
The important takeaway from this article is that it describes how Big Tech has now become the dominant wing of the capitalist class, as Joel Kotkin has pointed out (along with the national security state and financial sector). The ruling class is not a unified monolith, but comprised […]
A Long Talk With Anthony Fauci’s Boss About the Pandemic, Vaccines, and Faith
By Jebediah Reed New York Intelligencer Even before he became the point person in a global effort to find a coronavirus vaccine, Dr. Francis Collins occupied an interesting perch in government. One of the few Obama appointees still serving in a major role in the Trump administration, Collins, […]
Big business wants Facebook to CENSOR anti-establishment voices
Well, at least we know which firms to attack during the next wave of uprisings (if we didn’t already). And intra-ruling class conflict is always welcome. It’s also interesting how “hate” has become the new “obscenity.” It shows that the ruling class can always use whatever mores are […]
More advertisers flee Facebook as boycott grows
It couldn’t have happened to nicer people. The most ironic thing is that the Facebook boycott is just a virtue-signaling scam by corporations, some of whom use child slave labor in the global South. This would be like the National Socialists denouncing the Catholic Church for its legacy […]
The Sahara dust storm has reached the US mainland. Here’s what it looks like.
First, we had Spanish Flu Two. Then we had Great Depression Two, followed by 1968 Two. Now, we’ve got Dust Bowl. By Doyle Rice USA Today A huge plume of dust and sand, blown by the wind from the Sahara Desert, has finally reached the U.S. mainland. It’s […]
Coca-Cola halts all paid social media advertising for 30 days
Excellent. Let’s hope more firms follow suit. Spare us the annoyance of advertising while bankrupting Big Tech. By Orion Rummler Axios Coca-Cola is pulling all paid social media advertisements for 30 days, saying “there is no place for racism on social media,” CEO James Quincey said in a […]
Let’s Colonize Titan
The ultimate intentional community. By Charles Wohlforth and Amanda R. Hendrix The idea of a human colony on Titan, a moon of Saturn, might sound crazy. Its temperature hovers at nearly 300° below zero Fahrenheit, and its skies rain methane and ethane that flow into hydrocarbon seas. Nevertheless, […]
Fauci ADMITS LIVE government lied about masks to preserve supplies
Just like the traditional white collar priesthood, the newer white coat priesthood doesn’t mind “bearing false witness” when it’s convenient. Krystal and Saagar react to Dr. Fauci’s interview where he admits health officials downplayed the importance of masks to save PPE for healthcare workers.
NBC News tries to team up with Google to DESTROY independent media
As the New Church, corporate media and Big Tech connive to impose censorship on heretics and to conveniently eliminate their business competitors in the process. Krystal and Saagar discuss NBC News’ apparent push to have Google remove conservative sites from the search giant’s ad platform.
Tucker: Google tries to censor content it disagrees with
As I have often said, the same role that was played by the Church in the Middle Ages is now being played by the media, universities and educational system, Big Tech, Big Science, and the whitecoat priesthood. Google is acting directly to shape what people can say and […]
Many Truckers Will Avoid Cities that Defund the Police
Trucks will be self-driving in a few years anyway so it doesn’t matter.
Why filming police violence has done nothing to stop it
Because the police don’t care if someone is filming them if the wider apparatus of the state is backing them up. Why does anyone think Derek Chauvin choked George Floyd to death knowing full well he was being filmed the whole time? Because he thought the department, prosecutor’s […]
Would You Stand up to an Oppressive Regime or Would You Conform? Here’s the Science
The evidence is overwhelming that most people would conform. By Nick Chater The Conversation Margaret Atwood’s novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, described the horror of the authoritarian regime of Gilead. In this theocracy, self-preservation was the best people could hope for, being powerless to kick against the system. But […]
Unconscious Reactions Separate Liberals and Conservatives
For some time, I have largely regarded ideological conflict as a conflict between what I have called “psychological tribes” featuring groups of people with different personality types and psychological makeups, with these personality differences probably being rooted in genetics. In order words, people are genetically predisposed to have […]
Mark Zuckerberg Finishes Another Long Day Of Deciding What People Should Believe
Once again, the Babylon Bee proves to be one of the most reliable news journals. Fuck the Zuck. Techno-oligarch piece of shit. Babylon Bee MENLO PARK, CA—Giving his arms and legs a nice little stretch while reclining in his office chair Tuesday afternoon, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, […]
Space X Launch Live
This scene resembles one of those science fiction films where astronauts travel to space only to return and find that Planet Earth has been destroyed in an apocalypse.
Coronavirus: Monkeys ‘escape with COVID-19 samples’ after attacking lab assistant
The Animal Liberation Front folks would be proud. This is like the scened from “The Wizard of Oz” where Margaret Hamilton’s “Wicked Witch” character unleashes her monkey army. By Richard Williams Sky News A gang of monkeys attacked a laboratory assistant and escaped with a batch of coronavirus […]
Naomi Seibt Faces Prison For Incorrect Climate Views
A German teenager runs afoul of the new blasphemy laws. I consider the tribal civil war between the Red Tribe and Blue Tribe to a low-intensity variation of the traditional Catholic/Protestant conflicts in Europe during the early modern period or the Sunni/Shia conflict in the Middle East today. […]
Trump moves to KILL Twitter, do they deserve it?
This is reminiscent of the King vs. Pope feuds of the Middle Ages. Saagar Enjeti blasts Twitter’s decision to fact-check President Trump’s tweets and explains the far-reaching implications that could allow Twitter to control future political rhetoric.
A world redrawn: US coronavirus response fatally ‘chaotic,’ says Noam Chomsky
This interview with Chomsky is generally pretty good. He calls out the use of the pandemic as a pretext for expanding the surveillance state and the role of “big tech” in facilitating it. But there is one glaring contradiction. He criticizes the US inadequate response to the pandemic […]
Proudhon v. Facebook: A Mutualist Solution to Cyber Tyranny
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I’m pretty sure this place use to be a democracy. Not America. Contrary to what Broadway may have told you, even our saintly Founding Fathers were little more than racist neocons in pantaloons. I’m talking about the fucking […]
China is monitoring employees’ brain waves and emotions — and the technology boosted one company’s profits by $315 million
Keep in mind that China is a permanent member of the US-created UN Security Council, the World Trade Organization (which manages the global capitalist empire), and the G-20, which the Asian Development Bank has characterized as the steering committee of global capitalism. In other words, China is just […]
These are the 37 Senators that voted to let the FBI seize your internet history without a warrant
Notice that the majority of these 37 scumbags are Republicans (plus some corporate Democrats like Mark Warner and Tim Kaine), which shows how seriously they take their rhetoric about “limited government.” And the great man of the people, Bernie Sanders, didn’t even bother to vote on this. By […]
Christian Evangelicals Dying at Alarming Rate of Corona
One thing that Marxist-Leninist fundamentalist Jason Unruhe regrettably ignores in this commentary is that Christian evangelicals tend to be disproportionately concentrated among the poor and working-class (including both whites and minorities) and are therefore the people most likely to be in “essential jobs” and less able to practice […]
The Conspiracy Theorists Are Winning
The problem with David’s analysis in this is that he seems fairly subjective and one-dimensional in his criticisms of “conspiracy theories.” The fact that the last three years of cable news (excluding FOX) was devoted to Russiagate hysteria shows that liberals and the Left are just as prone […]
17 Things We Don’t Know—And Shouldn’t Pretend To Know—About COVID-19
By Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD A few days ago on Facebook, I made a casual comment questioning part of the dominant narrative (that the anti-viral remdesivir is indeed worthy of Dr. Fauci’s optimism and a lightning speed rush to FDA approval.) A physician and medical director challenged me, […]
Soaring Beyond the Green New Deal
By Don Fitz When Stan Cox was writing his book, The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can, he scripted these prophetic words: “The oft-predicted national decline in use of fossil fuels is nowhere to be seen, and it is unlikely to […]
Bill Gates and the Population Control Grid
The takeover of public health that we have documented in How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health and the remarkably brazen push to vaccinate everyone on the planet that we have documented in Bill Gates’ Plan to Vaccinate the World was not, at base, about money. The unimaginable wealth […]
Tucker: America is splitting into two before our eyes
If only it were true. Localized quarantines are what we should have been doing all along. It’s ridiculous to expect rural counties to abide by the same rules as New York and Los Angeles. Some states are using science to guide their decisions and cautiously beginning to relax […]
Would You Care if a White Man Cured Covid-19? Hiring researchers by sex and race rather than scientific prowess is dangerous nonsense
I’m generally not a fan of Randian cop-lover Heather MacDonald, but this is funny. By Heather MacDonald Rightfully Yours “If we are in a war, as our leaders tell us, we should act like it. Diverting scientists’ attention, time and funding away from research and toward identity politics […]
How Fashion Designers Are Outsmarting Facial Recognition Surveillance
The Chinahate that is going on now, like the parallel Russiahate, is just a rhetorical trick the system is using to deflect attention from its own incompetence and malevolence. Not only is China a province in global capitalism that provides cheap labor and cheap loans for Western governments […]
Facebook’s new un-elected censorship board
Big Tech brings back the censorship boards that existed before the civil rights revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and which still exist in some places. Research Director of the American Economic Liberties Project Matt Stoller explains why Facebook decided to elect their own independent appeals board to […]
A Holistic Approach
Who Is the State, Ruling Class, and Power Elite?
It seems that most people even on the far left and far right have a limited perception and definition of what concepts like the “state,” “ruling class,” or “power elite” actually mean. It would also seem that we need a much more modernized and expansive definition of these […]
US is unprepared to protect residents from virus while states are reopening, former acting CDC director says
It’s interesting how the Left and Right have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns. The Left has an abiding faith in the managerial state, worships at the altar of the therapeutic state, professes scientism, never misses an opportunity to call for expanding the welfare state, dislikes […]
Fear and Loathing in Coronaville Volume 7: What Rough Beast Slouches Towards Washington and Beijing?
Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As the smoke slowly settles on the bucolic hills of my farmland community and many others, the Coronavirus nightmare may be far from […]

Anarchists for the White Coat Priesthood?
Deference to credentialed and experienced experts is generally a good plan barring compelling evidence to the contrary, but “experts” are not divine oracles, and science and medicine can become corrupted, abusive, or incompetent as much as any other kind of institution. One thing that I have found interesting […]
China’s Tech Totalitarianism
One reason I can’t really go for all the Chinahate we see today is that China is merely a test market for the kind of system the overlords of the empire want for the entire world, i.e. serf labor, techno-fascist surveillance, and labor camps for those who dissent. […]
Tucker: Some lockdown lawmakers want to stamp out dissent
Tucker Carlson is a de facto spokesman for the petite bourgeoise and “small capitalist” sectors of the commercial economy, the post-bourgeois proletariat, the “sinking middle,” the dying WASP culture, political traditionalists and constitutional fundamentalists of the kind found on the paleo/populist-right, etc. Many of those interests have been […]
Is it only about Money over lives? Does it cost more lives? Coronavirus Covid-19 Lockdowns Pandemic
Glad to see some left-wing folks questioning the official ruling class party line.
Big Tech censors dissent over coronavirus lockdowns
The tech oligarchy is a principal faction of the rising left-wing of the capitalist class, for whom scientism and the therapeutic state are a core component of their self-legitimating ideology, which is in turn disseminated by the new clerisy whose ranks include the white coat priesthood.
Krystal and Saagar examine new UFO evidence
Smooth move, Krystal and Saager. Krystal and Saagar look at footage the Pentagon has released as confirmed, “unidentified aerial phenomena.”
The Ignored Questions of COVID-19
Tom Woods takes on the white coat priesthood. Excellent. Listen here. In this episode I cover a lot of ground, albeit a bit haphazardly: the unintended consequences of “lockdown,” the superstitious reverence for “scientists” (who, contrary to popular belief, are not in fact qualified to answer all questions), […]
Twitter Suspends Green Party Presidential Candidate’s Twitter For No Reason
The Tech Oligarchy works to block any opposition to the Bidenists. The Greens are milquetoast reformists overrun by SJWs, and not my cup of tea at all, but it’s funny how the Tech Oligarchy wants to makes sure things are rigged on behalf of Dementia Man.
