The Iran War kicked off the price spike but it was uncanny how a machinery was so quickly put in place to instruct everyone of what to do. The panic about how to respond is intensifying. The crisis is without precedent, they say. We have to try new approaches, dramatic ones.

Suddenly, this institution called the International Energy Agency holds new prominence in world media. Founded in 1974, it’s an NGO associated with OPEC. It has no hard but only soft power – like the World Health Organization, with whom the IEA shares a similarly authoritative branding. [Read More]

History doesn’t always repeat itself, but it often rhymes. When fighting erupted in Europe in 1914, it wasn’t initially considered to be that big of a deal. Many dismissed the conflict as yet another minor European war, and at first most of the rest of the world stayed out of it. It was only later that it came to be known as World War I. Today, there is lots of speculation that World War III “could be coming”, but of course the truth is that we are already in the middle of it. Just like during the early days of World War I, most people won’t fully understand the significance of what they are currently experiencing until later. Interestingly, it turns out that the 2026 calendar is precisely identical to the 1914 calendar... [Read More]

By her own admission, the UK Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, aims to create a digital identity Panopticon using AI and technology to constantly monitor citizens.

The UK government’s digital identity system will use biometric data, such as facial recognition, to create unique identity tokens, enabling real-time monitoring and predictive analysis of individual behaviour.

To establish the official UK digital identity Panopticon, the government and its partners do not require us to adopt any new forms of digital identity. Though it is trying to manipulate us into submitting our biometric authentication token to its GOV.UK digital identity wallet. And once we are manipulated into adopting our digital identities, they will be made interoperable across the whole of the UK economy. [Read More]

Patagonia is often imagined as a remote sanctuary at the edge of the world: vast forests, glacial lakes, windswept plains, and indigenous territories that have resisted the pressures of industrial modernity for centuries. Yet in recent years, this image has begun to fracture. Across Argentina’s southern provinces, forests have burned with unusual frequency and intensity, communities have been displaced, and land once protected by ecological or cultural barriers has become newly accessible, as documented in assessments of the 2024 Argentina wildfires. At the same time, Patagonia has emerged as a focal point in a far larger global struggle, one driven not by climate, but by geopolitics, resource scarcity, and national security imperatives emanating from Washington.

By now, you’ve probably heard: The British Labour government is not bringing in mandatory digital ID. Rejoice! The freedom-loving Brit can breathe easy again, safe in the knowledge that no one will be asked to wave some creepy state-issued QR code at the pub. Or the supermarket. Or the job centre. Except, well…they sort of will. 

According to The Times, Labour is quietly yanking back the explicit demand for a national digital ID, but it’s the same way a magician might yank a tablecloth while keeping the cutlery exactly where it was. 

They make it look like the plan has changed. But we’re still marching briskly into the warm digital embrace of compulsory identity checks. [Read More]

The UK government confirmed it is scrapping the mandatory requirement for digital ID cards by 2029 – those opposing digital IDs celebrated. However, the devil is in the details. 

The government has only scrapped the “BritCard” scheme; it is still proceeding with plans to require some form of digital identification.

“By using the BritCard deception to misrepresent digital identity, the government provided the people with a loathed bogeyman they could easily defeat. The evident ploy was supposed to lull the people into accepting their digital identities by convincing them they had successfully rejected the fake BritCard version of digital ID,” Iain Davis writes.

Australians could face up to 15 years imprisonment for comments deemed offensive by the government. The Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill introduced this month establishes federal offenses for “publicly promoting or inciting hatred.” Speech, writing, or “other forms of public gestures” will be monitored and controlled.

No one wants Digital ID.
No one asked for CBDC.
No one voted for the NWO.
No one needs a carbon wallet.
No one wants more mRNA injections.
No one is safer with 24/7 surveillance.
No one chose to surrender their liberty.
No one agreed to end national sovereignty. pic.twitter.com/kHZntDCDDy
