Sleepwalking into Tyranny: How Power is Silently Being Seized
How something is done is just as important as why something is done.
To suggest that the ends justify the means is to launch oneself down a moral, ethical and legal rabbit hole that leaves us in a totalitarian bind.
We are already halfway down that road.

“This is what militaries do during coups: you capture the major targets, with government buildings high on the list, and you take over communications and other systems.”
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, historian on fascism and authoritarian leaders

Technocracy Ascending – Part 3: Green Sustainable Slavery
As detailed in Part 2 of “Technocracy Ascending,” David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and the Trilateral Commission achieved a great deal in moving the world toward a new international economic order and global governance (i.e., a new world order).
Brzezinski understood the decline of nation states was a necessity for advancing a global order where the private banking cabal and transnational corporations assumed political dominance. In his book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era, Brzezinski stated that:

From Judges to “Experts” – Assisted Dying Bill Gets Big Time Rugpull
The UK’s Assisted Dying Bill will no longer require cases be signed off by a high court judge, but rather by a “panel of experts”, according to changes inserted in the wording yesterday.

Blind Compliance
We all know what this means. And from what I am hearing from fellow shrews, the only way out of it is to simply not comply.

OffGuardian is ten years old!
Just over ten years ago, February 10th 2015, OffGuardian published its first ever article.

Palestine Hijacked: How Zionism Forged An Apartheid State From River to Sea By Thomas Suárez
Much has been written in the alternative press over the past year about the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians and its other war crimes in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. This has often been viewed within the historical context of the self-declared Zionist Israeli state’s founding in 1948 up to the present day. But far less has been said about the Zionist’s racial-nationalist-settler-colonialist movement’s history of terrorism to seize Palestine and kill and drive the Palestinians into exile that goes back for more than a century

Instead, consider that they may actually believe AI technocracy would be good, but they are unable to understand the full implications of their goals because they suffer from right hemisphere deficits.

Are the Dead Nostalgic?

Now I wish to return to this matter that seems perpetually pertinent, a pertinence, of course, not unconnected to the dead in Gaza, Ukraine, and everywhere else. There are so many ways of getting dead – and living – that complicate my question.

Selling Britain by the Pound
In 1973, the rock band Genesis titled their album ‘Selling England by the Pound’. They did so for various reasons. The phrase was taken from a Labour Party slogan of the time, reflecting the album’s critique of Britain’s changing identity and economic challenges in the early 1970s.
The title symbolised the loss of traditional English culture due to ‘Americanisation’, such as increasing commercialism, consumerism and materialism. It also referred to the UK’s economic struggles, including inflation, industrial disputes and debates about joining the European Economic Community.
