Many thanks to Paul Hellier of Fair Food Forager, for having me back on his podcast. In this second part of the conversation, we discussed: * network-centric warfare and human bodies as nodes on a network; * AI and a society of maximum efficiency vs. a free society; * the IBM and the Holocaust, Operation Phoenix, the information liquidation model, and social media;* Palantir, the CIA, and the privatization of Total Information Awareness; * the transformation of Facebook and YouTube from relatively free platforms to censorship machines; * information warfare driving people from one online pen to the next (social media as a social containment mechanism); * using digital technologies (including digital currencies) to “switch people off”;* meta glasses and the complete erosion of privacy; * the battle for the brain — how advanced are the relevant technologies?; * neurological control one person at a time?;* Neuralink — a psy-op?;* the removal of ethical frameworks in times of war and experimenting on entire populations; * from “no pixie dust” to real technologies, no longer sci-fi; * NASA’s “IT/Bio/Nano era”;* the critical inflection point that is being reached as digital currencies, AI.gov, the digital state, etc. are all being rolled out; * why I do not see parallel societies as a durable solution; * the importance of mass non-compliance; * a century of propaganda and psy-ops to impede the development of class consciousness; * the need for a positive vision to galvanize resistance; * goodness, truth, beauty, and the role of conscience; * the need to move from conspiratainment to action; * the war on children; and* reasons for optimism.A video of the full two-part interview can be watched below.

Many thanks to Paul Hellier of Fair Food Forager, for having me back on his podcast. This is Part 1 of 2. In a wide-ranging discussion, we got into: * the general lack of interest in the Manchester Arena incident, despite its immense political signifiance; * why most people seem to be unaware of, or disinterested in, the means by which it is being herded towards tyranny; * how the Omniwar remains invisible;* the three camps of awareness and algorithmic kettling;* the false binaries that keep people trapped in Camp 2;* the illusion of Trump as a saviour figure, as exposed by his first few months of his second term in office and the technocratic takeover of the United States;* GovCorp/GovTech and the AI-powered digital state;* mechanisms of deception used to trick the population into supporting measures that lead to its subjugation and ultimate enslavement; * the two-party delusion;* rising wealth inequalities globally; * an all-digital financial system as a totalitarian control system;* Aman Jabbi and the digitial surveillance system maturing all around us;* the inescapability of a wireless (bio)digital control system;* the 9/11 Memorial Museum as an exercise in mind control and occultism; * televisual propaganda and trauma-based mind control;* trauma bonding and people’s mistaken belief that the government was trying to “protect” them during Covid;* the global class war being waged via the transnational deep state;* the failure of the political class to serve and protect the public;* Echoes of the Third Reich;* the term “conspiracy theory”;* academia’s failure to speak truth to power — what if it had called out the obvious “9/11” lies two decades ago?;* academia’s servile defence of power and academics as “experts in legitimation”;* financial pressures on UK universities and their consequences for knowledge production;* the outsourcing of thinking to AI, even though AI lies;* AI and the threat of mass psychosis, induced one person at a time;* agentic AI and outsourcing responsibility;* cognitive warfare and its threat to liberal democracy;* a society of “smart” phone addicts — “soft” addiction is now turning hard; * transhumanist as a eugenics discourse; and* the military dimension to intracorporeal nanotechnologies and human bodies as nodes on a technocratic control grid.

Thank you to SNI Digital (Surgical Neurology International) for inviting Patrick Wood and me to discuss “bigger picture” developments in the world today. I recommend Russell Blaylock’s 2022 article, Covid Update: What is the Truth? as one of the most trenchant critiques of “Covid-19 countermeasures” written in real time. I only got to speak for 13 minutes of this 80-minute interview (26:34-30:15, 50:45-56:26, 64:18-65:41, 73:29-75:15), and my position on certain topics was misrepresented, but I leave it here for the record.

Thank you to Alex Newman for inviting me back onto his show for The New American. There was a hard stop of 28 minutes and 30 seconds, so I had to keep my answers pithy and concise. We discussed:* the defining features of the Omniwar;* some examples of the domains across which the Omniwar is being waged; * total social control as the aim of the Omniwar; * the fundamentals of technocracy and the “scientific management of society”;* why technocracy is antithetical to freedom and democracy; * who are “they”?;* AI, which is coming down the tracks fast; * why the war for technocracy is not (at least not in the first instance) about depopulation; * principles of resistance in the Omniwar and the importance of challenging the technologies being used to hook us up to the technocratic control grid, not least “smart” phones; * reasons for optimism: we are more powerful than we think, our numbers are constantly growing, and technocratic agendas are becoming ever more visible to ever more people; * why the technologies being used for totalitarian control purposes should be expropriated and placed in service of humanity; * unresolved theoretical debates between Marxism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc. This is a public episode.

Many thanks to Zahra and Stephen from the Collapse Life podcast for this interview, in which we covered: * the bigger picture regarding the “Covid-19” operation and its role in initiating the war for technocracy;* the conditions that enabled the “Covid-19” operation, namely, the globalization of class relations, “9/11” and the hollowing out liberal democracy in a millennium of fear; and the stalling of existing control systems in the years leading up to 2020;* the protection motif, weaponized in Nazi Germany, again after “9/11,” and again in 2020 — the control system rests on deception; * the social contract is broken beyond repair, with states attacking their own citizens, meaning that centuries-old political traditions are now ending; * “rules for thee but not for me” — ruling class hypocrisy during the Covid era that, nevertheless, failed to make most people realize that they were being lied to, owing to the many-levelled psychological attack on populations transnationally; * applied behavioral psychology, which targets the “Automatic Brain” and thus allows for manipulation at the unconscious level; * the failure of intellectuals and the professional classes — supposedly intelligent people were the first to succumb to the “Covid-19” operation, because they have been socialized not to challenge power; * dual use technologies, involving military partnership with the civilian sector — has anyone at Cambridge University’s Internet of Everything Centre properly thought through the implications of linking everything with everything?;* moral failure vs. “ethics committees”;* the role of Oxford University in the Covid tyranny and “vaccine” propaganda; * my “three camps of awareness” framework and the unfortunate enormity of Camp 2 relative to Camp 3; * the difficulty of reaching Camp 1, which lacks the necessary tools to identify and challenge propaganda and psychological operations — hence the need to spread knowledge and awareness of the methods used;* the methods of Camp 2 are often similar to those used in Camp 1 — we must teach people to see and identify them; * the fact that people can move backwards and forwards between camps (including co-optation back from Camp 3 to Camp 2) makes this a very complex and confusing terrain; * the effectiveness of psy-ops in continually dividing dissident opinion, e.g. Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, fracturing what was emerging as an increasingly unified front against the official “Covid-19” narrative; * continuities from “Covid-19” to today — the Omniwar is ongoing, deceptively, against all of us; * technocracy is installing itself fast — resistance is essential;* possibilities for resistance, withdrawal of consent to all aspects of technocracy, challenging the technologies involved (including ditching the smartphone);* everyone is answerable to their own conscience;* the nature of the Omniwar means that everyone can make a difference; everyone can resist in one form or another; this is the time to take action;* the psychological warfare of 2020/21 means that reclaiming one’s own mental sovereignty is fundamental;* why the technocrats will ultimately fail.

I am reuploading this new hard-hitting documentary by Jacqui Deevoy and Richie Brown of Diplomatic Post to help increase its visibility for when it gets censored by YouTube. Since 2020, Deevoy has been investigating practices of involuntary euthanasia in the UK. In 2021, she produced the documentary A Good Death? (Ickonic), and in 2024 she produced Playing God (Trailblazer). Her films are not an easy watch, as she hears shocking and tragic testimonies from victims’ families. Nevertheless, they are important, because they graphically confirm the return of practices previously associated with Nazi Germany, as I have written about in Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (pp. 32-34, 141-147). It is well known historically that state-sanctioned euthanasia in Nazi Germany (so-called “deaths of mercy”) was the thin of the edge of the wedge that led to genocide. It is, therefore, troubling to see that “assisted dying” is set to become law in the UK with MPs voting in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill in June 2025. Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary during Covid, was campaigning for this back in 2020, and he even made a travel exemption during the “lockdowns” for those wishing to travel abroad to end their own life. Similar moves are happening transnationally, viz. the MAID program in Canada, which has grown significantly since is inception and by 2022 represented the sixth highest cause of death in Canada. But these are just the officially approved deaths. The shocking truth uncovered by Deevoy is that many more people in the UK are being unofficially killed by the state under the guise of so-called “care protocols.” She writes:UNSEEN pulls no punches. It lays bare the chilling reality of the "care pathways" that became death sentences. Grieving families, their voices raw with pain, share stories of loved ones lost to deadly guidelines, designed by government body NICE [the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence] and enforced by medics.The film exposes the rampant concomitant use of lethal medications, the secretive imposition of Do Not Resuscitate orders and the haunting return in 2020 of end-of-life protocols that echo the disgraced and abolished Liverpool Care Pathway.As harrowing as some of these tales are, Deevoy and Brown have done a great service in shining a light on one of the many dark aspects of the totalitarianism that has been incrementally spreading across the West since 2020. A crowdfunder for UNSEEN is available here. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit dhughes.substack.com/subscribe

Many thanks to Dennsion Joyce for inviting me back onto Through the Looking Glass on New York’s WIOX Radio. In his ever-friendly manner, Dennison steered the discussion towards:* how I got into “9/11”;* the 9/11 Memorial Museum as an attack on consciousness, with likely occult significance;* the museum’s hiding of evidence; * the Manchester Arena incident — the Barr footage, the Parker photograph, the lack of structural damage, and the undamaged merchandise stall (which I mistakenly said was 8-10 feet away from the blast epicenter — I meant meters); * moulage, pyrotechnics, fake terror, and the crisis simulation industry; * the need for greater public attention to paid to the Manchester Arena incident, especially when one considers what the evidence implies in terms of the social contract; * suspect witness testimonies from alleged victims of the Manchester Arena incident; * problems relating to blood re: the Manchester Arena incident; * the apparent move to faking terrorist attacks around 2012/2013 — desirable for narrative control purposes, but challenging in terms of concealing evidence;* victim compensation funds and the dramatic rise in the number of people “injured” in the Manchester Arena incident;* Leanna Nguyen and the issue of whether doctors would lie about the victims of terrorist attacks; * the lack of primary observable evidence of injuries sustained during the Manchester Arena incident vs. claims that such injuries were real (i.e., narrative); * the Reichstag fire as the original false flag incident that inspired both “9/11” and the PATRIOT Act, as well as “Covid-19” and the draconian legislation that was introduced in the name of “protecting” the public; * the origins of the PATRIOT Act in the response to the OKC bombing of 1995; * the persecution of Richard D. Hall and the increased interest in the Manchester Arena incident it has generated; * the criminalisation of dissent in Western societies and attempts to intimidate dissidents into silence — free speech does not exist; and* the race against time to put down the global technocratic coup.

Thanks to Jerm for having me back on his podcast, which has now become integrated with UK Column. We discussed:* “9/11” as psychological operation;* Camp 2 intelligence operatives and co-opted bad actors;* the work of Dr. Judy Wood';* my unfortunate realisation that Camp 2 is massive compared to Camp 3; * was “SARS-CoV-2” real"?;* the war for technocracy; * my “wake up” moment in 2016;* the transnationalization of the deep state, to the point where it is now global;* the Omniwar;* the resistant 25% or so of the population;* the challenges of “waking up”;* “cognitive infiltration” of dissident groups';* the 77th Brigade (the name of the general I forgot is General Sir Nick Carter);* AI and deep fakes; * intelligence agencies; * urgency and desperation on the part of the perpetrators; * why we should not overestimate “their” power;* the need to get up and active; * why we should reject secular saviour narratives; * the need to take personal responsibility for finding means of resistance; * Trump and his role in facilitating technocratic access to the White House; * the information-liquidation model;* Musk, Dark MAGA, and the intellectual bankruptcy of the self-styled “neoreactionaries” (nRX);* Yarvin’s concept of a “humane alternative to genocide”;* the use of narrative by the technocrats to achieve their objectives;* the myth of technological determinism; * why the outcome of the struggle is far from inevitable;* the end of liberal democracy; * the need for a positive vision of the future; and* social media as a digital prison space.

Thank you to James Delingpole for inviting me to appear on the Delingpod. The interview gets going around the five-minute mark. As it turned out, this interview began only 45 minutes after the Manchester Arena discussion with Paul Hellier and Iain Davis finished (I hadn’t expected the latter to last for over three hours), so hopefully I’m still coherent!We discussed:* why I left academia;* when I got “mugged by reality”;* the failure of intellectuals and very intelligent people - how smart people learn not to ask the most important questions; * the mainstream alternative media (my “Camp 2”); * my wild ride for the last 12-13 months, which I wouldn’t change for the world; * my disappointment at the education I received at Oxford;* academia’s failure to investigate “9/11,” my journal article on it, and how it triggered the academic community worldwide; * academics’ open letters attacking their own colleagues during “Covid-19”; * reasons why academics will not address certain issues; * the attacks on the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda, and Media;* “permanent social turbulence,” the Tavistock Institute, and the use of shock and stress to make entire societies more psychologically susceptible to propaganda; * conditioning public opinion through propaganda and psychological warfare; * psychiatry as a means of social control; * empires of the mind, leading to attempted neurological control in our own time;* deep fakes, A.I., and the difficulty in discerning what is real (threatening mass psychosis);* examples of psychological warfare deployed as part of the “Covid-19” operation;* face masks as instruments of psychological torture;* face masks as muzzles and conformity generators; * the high level of premeditation involved in the “Covid-19” operation, viz. the attacks on “the unvaccinated”; * “kill Granny” and MKULTRA; * UK Government/NHS Covid propaganda — lies designed to traumatize the population; * how a global operation such as “Covid-19” can be pulled off without many people understanding the bigger picture; * banging pots and pans as “signalling commitment,” in the language of applied behavioural psychology; * Captain Tom — a centenarian used for Covid propaganda purposes while the elderly were being murdered through midazolam and loneliness in care homes;* the role of influencers and the WHO’s contract with Hill + Knowlton — centrally coordinated propaganda;* the lack of primary observable evidence indicating that a TATP shrapnel bomb went off in the City Room, as the public was told re: the Manchester Arena incident in 2017;* reasons to suspect the involvement of the transnational deep state in the Manchester Arena incident, giving the lie to liberal democracy and the “social contract,” meaning that we are living in historically precarious times; * reasons for optimism in terms of people awakening to the dangers of technocracy before it is too late; * who is behind it all?;* Omniwar — war waged by the few against the many, across every domain of human life, but invisible and by stealth as far as possible, so that the public does not notice; * World III, needed to achieve global change (the “Great Reset”) through social engineering, while avoiding revolution; * populations in denial about the Covid years today, because of the trauma-based mind control that was deployed, and why anamnesis is important to avoid being gaslit that it was “our fault”;* academics like Neil Ferguson, who “fail up” for consistently getting things wrong — but it serves power; * how high-tier administrators in the system have been induced to act as they do; * de-bourgeoisification and an increasingly lop-sided oligarchical system in terminal decline; * transhumanism, the Internet of BioNano Things, and the potential for human bodies to be turned into nodes on the control grid — the ultimate slavery system;* the Internet of Everything — who controls it?;* what was in the “Covid-19 vaccines”? * the epistemological challenges of teasing out what is actually going on;* Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, DOGE, and the technocratic capture of the US Government; * dark magic; dark MAGA, and the Dark Enlightenment; * Palantir;* Trump, techno-populism, and deceiving the population to accept technocracy; * the Biden psy-op to cause the public to lose faith in liberal democracy and the rationality of the system, as well as paving the way for the switch to Trump — but the technocratic agendas roll on regardless; * Curtis Yarvin’s intellectually lousy work, which is now being used to legitimize technocracy, as well as what he calls “a humane alternative to genocide” (later endorsed by Yuval Noah Harari); * the return of eugenics — one of many parallels between today’s world and 1930s Nazi Germany; * good vs. evil, the Armour of God, and the number of Christians who stepped up in 2020.

Many thanks to Paul Hellier for inviting Iain Davis and me to discuss our work on the Manchester Arena incident, and for helping us to reach an Australian audience. This was a long (three hours and ten minutes) discussion. We covered a huge amount of ground, including empirical evidence relating to the incident itself, the police investigation, the public inquiry, the Richard D. Hall trial, and the role of the media, including the alternative media. Watching the video is recommended over listening to the audio, as a lot of visual evidence is presented.

I am pleased to announce the release this week of The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future, by Oracle Films. It offers a superb critique of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the totalitarian global control system that is being deceptively rolled out under its auspices. I was honored to be invited to participate in the film. In May 2024 a film crew travelled to my house to interview me in person. It was a long journey for them from the south west of England, and they stayed overnight at a hotel before interviewing me in the morning. They professionally made sure that the lighting, sound, angles, etc. were all correct and arrived armed with a list of pertinent questions. We spent several hours together — all to obtain just a few minutes of footage that were actually used. This shows a clear commitment to quality on the part of the filmmakers. I was just one of many people interviewed. Others included Catherine Austin Fitts, Whitney Webb, Patrick Wood, Aman Jabbi (who, in my view, made the most important contribution), and Alex Newman. An enormous amount of work went into conducting the in-person interviews alone. Once the interviews were completed, the Oracle Films team took a year to make sure that the production quality was as high as possible. The result is self-evident. This is an extremely high-quality production that can safely be aimed at normies without fear of being written off as amateurish. Please do share the film as widely as possible. It deserves a huge audience. I know first-hand that the film was made at considerable financial expense to those behind it, so please do give something back if you can: https://buymeacoffee.com/oraclefilms.

It was an honor to be invited to participate in this important roundtable hosted by Courtenay Turner and featuring Patrick Wood and Iain Davis, two of the leading thinkers on technocracy. We got into a wide range of topics — too many to list here — but what pleased me the most was the organic way in which we kept returning (without planning to) to the various methods of deception that have been, and are being, used to sell technocracy to the public. Trump’s “base” in particular needs to understand this.Another interesting talking point was the flimsy foundations on which accelerationism — the philosophical accompaniment to contemporary technocracy — rests. Much like earlier philosophies of totalitarianism, it is intellectual garbage, yet is being embraced at the highest levels of power to legitimize the intended transition to technocracy.Although many technocrats today claim to be religious, theirs is not a brand of religion that most of us would recognize. Venture capitalist “accelerators” have been responsible for, among other things, new weapons technologies tested in Gaza and Ukraine. In 2008, the neoreactionary, Curtis Yarvin, called for a “humane alternative to genocide” involving trapping people in virtual cocoons, an idea which resurfaced during Covid when Yuval Harari claimed that the “useless class” — i.e., those rendered redundant by new technologies — should be left to play video games. Is this a future that any of us wants?Unfortunately, technocracy, which has been decades in incubation, is being rolled out fast and is now at an advanced stage, not least given the influence of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk on the new Trump administration. The public needs to recognize what it really going on. Hopefully, this roundtable will help people to see the bigger picture. This is a public episode.

This three-part series is based on Chapter 2 of my book, Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State.It traces the many parallels and continuities between the political economy of 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020, as well as some key discontinuities between the two eras.All in all, there are far too many parallels and continuities to be mere coincidence. The current attempt by the transnational deep state to collapse liberal democracy and replace with it a novel form of totalitarianism (i.e., global technocracy) appears, notwithstanding the discontinuities, to be modelled on Nazi Germany.This third part of the series explores:* health surveillance;* euthanasia;* eugenics;* totalitarian pseudoscience;* ecopolitics; and* historical discontinuities.It also includes the bibliography for the entire series at the end.Viewers wanting to understand how and why Western civilization now stands on the brink of a Nazi-inspired precipice are encouraged to read the whole of Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State.

I had forgotten that I gave this interview to Daniel Broudy for Propaganda in Focus in June last year. For some reason, the interview got lost and only recently resurfaced. There are some glitches in the connection, but nothing too serious. It is interesting to listen to it back, as I had only just taken the decision to leave academia. With the two of us (at that time) both still in academia, the interview went into the nature of academic knowledge production and the ways in which this has been progressively distorted over the course of decades. We discussed:* the role of academia’s silence on certain topics in legitimizing some of the most evil practices imaginable; * how disturbing it is that as part of the academic system one feels significant restraint on what can and cannot say;* my (still future) series on the nature of academic knowledge production, involving the role of funding arrangements in preventing academics from speaking truth to power and the policing of academic discourse at the margins. This was mostly written at the time, and I expected to release it in 2024, but other projects took priority (don’t worry, it will get released at some point!);* the myth of academic freedom and fearlessly pursuing the truth wherever it might lead? What when Western governments behave in ways that increasingly rely on deception and military grade propaganda being deployed against their own populations? Do academics have the courage to call that out? Is it possible to conduct system-challenging research in academia?* my widely read 2020 article on “9/11” as a call to action for academics to take the evidence regarding the events of that day seriously; interested academics with integrity have a moral and intellectual obligation to respond to it, yet none has; one article even “refrained from citing that particular paper” so as not to promote “conspiracy-promoting content [!]”; * the destruction of WTC7, which only requires a high-school level understanding of physics to know that falling debris from the Twin Towers could not have caused the building to fall as it did. So, why do academics refuse to ask the questions and instead resort to propaganda terms to shut down debate? This is unpardonable; * academic funding vs. scientific rigour. Leading universities are captured and promote “The Science” rather than real science, not least Oxford University, which cheered on the very worst of the tyranny during “Covid”; * parallels between “9/11” and “Covid-19”: the “shock doctrine” applies in both cases, creating a new and unfamiliar reality and the myth that “the world has changed!”; * shell shock in World War I rendered victims more psychologically malleable. MKULTRA involved “depatterning the mind” and “repatterning” it through “psychic driving.” Later, attempts were made to apply similar techniques at the societal level; the “War on Terror” served as a global strategy of tension; and “Covid-19” was the moment of shock to begin pushing through technocratic agendas under the banner of the “Great Reset”; * the 20th-century history of the military experimenting on civilian populations in the US and UK; followed by the worldwide military experiment of 2020/21 involving “vaccines”; * the global class war, planned since 1968 at least and probably much earlier;* academic groupthink: deep structural events lie beyond its parameters; those who stray too far from the “herd” are ostracized, even as an increasing proportion of the population “awakens”; * parallels between the political economy 1930s Nazi Germany and that of the West since 2020 — academia “prostituted” itself then, and appears to be doing the same again today; * moral inversions and “hijacking conscience,” e.g., people being told that virtuous behaviour is the same as aligning with power; * the professions fell for it — doctors abandoning “first do harm,” churches promoting “vaccination”; the Left and the unions abandoning the working classes; “presstitutes” replacing the “Fourth Estate,” etc.; * the need to learn the lessons of history — we have seen it all before, and we know where it will lead if we do not put down the global technocratic coup.
