When The Gates Of Tech Dystopia Snap Shut
There’s a viral video clip showing a group of wild boars getting caught in a corral trap. When the gate snaps shut the poor animals run around in a panic, searching in vain for an exit.
According to the caption that’s been going around, the trapper waited patiently for five days for the entire sounder to get comfortable enough to take the bait and enter the trap all at once. The gate didn’t close until the final pig walked into the enclosure.
And, yeah. That’s pretty much where we’re at right now.
We’ve been standing around munching on our bait, enjoying our bread and our circuses, blissfully unaware of the trapper who is patiently waiting for the perfect moment to slam the gate shut on us all.
“Man, AI sure is great.”
“Check it out, we’re all Miyazaki characters!”
“I let ChatGPT choose my outfit for today!”
“I wrote a song just by typing in a prompt! Can you believe it? I’m making music!”
“We’re ALL artists now!”
“Oh shit, the gate just closed!”
“They’re listening to everything we say!”
“Fuck, there are police drones everywhere!”
“They’re putting guns on those robot dogs!”
“The state AI canceled my digital money because I tried to start a union!”
“I said Free Palestine and now I can’t access the internet!”
They’ve been quietly constructing a cage around us this entire time in order to lock us into this capitalist dystopia forever. The oligarchs and empire managers have been rapidly developing technologies that will facilitate mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems — already being field-tested in places like Gaza — which just so happen to be exactly what the ruling class would require in order to undermine and quash any revolutionary movements which might emerge in response to the ever-increasing abuses and inequalities of capitalism.
The trapper is patiently pacing us into accepting mass surveillance, unfettered artificial intelligence advancement, militarized robots, police drones, digital currencies, propaganda, censorship, and the AI-assisted manipulation of the flow of information.
And then, when the time is right, the gate will come crashing down.
It’s essentially a race between revolution and high-tech totalitarianism. A race between the awakening of public consciousness to the urgent need for revolutionary change, and the ability of our rulers to prevent revolutionary change from ever occurring. A race between our ability to start using the power of our numbers to force an end to the abusive systems under which we live, and the ability of rich and powerful dominators to use surveillance, robotics and AI-assisted control mechanisms to nullify all the advantages we hold over them.
And right now our biggest disadvantage is that most of us don’t even know we’re in this race. Our rulers know it, but the average member of the public does not. Most of us are still chewing on the bait in the trap.
There is still time. The trap isn’t shut yet. But we need to awaken the other piggies in the pen to the reality of what the bastards have planned for us, and help them understand that the race is underway.

In the UK They've been telling you "the Russians are coming" for 70 years.
They never came.
There was no plan to invade Europe. And there is no plan today.
It's all fear mongering control farming. Just like it was in 1976.

I’m seeing a lot of Novak haters crawling out of their shells again after the documentary. Your negativity has only ever made Novak stronger.
You can hate him all you want, but you can never touch his greatness.
A Lion never concerns itself with the opinions of sheep.

🗣️Goran Ivanisevic on Novak Djokovic:
"Novak refused the COVID vaccine and was ready to stop his career, a decision no other elite athlete would make. He was ready to end his career for this reason. He went all the way just to not get vaccinated. The world condemned him, criticized him relentlessly, even belittled him for standing firm. Yet he never wavered, standing firm in his conviction with a determination that still resonates. We were locked up like sheep for three years and we were manipulated."

⚡️⚡️⚡️I am accused of being “pro-Russian” the moment I state basic facts about the war or express disagreement with Zelenskyy's policies of endless escalation. Often it’s bots, but sometimes also people from the comfortable West who genuinely believe they understand Ukraine and this war better than I do — someone who has covered the conflict since the very beginning in 2014, visited Donbas multiple times alongside Zelenskyy, participated in negotiations, helped craft communications for the President, and remained in the country when the full-scale invasion began in 2022. I was shelled, narrowly survived, traveled across the country helping civilians in need, and reported intensively as a journalist.
Yet now some dare to label me pro-Russian simply because I refuse to support the primitive populism that allows Zelenskyy to prolong the war, profit from it, and cling to power.
So let me be perfectly clear: Everyone who hurls this accusation is acting against my country. Everyone who buys into Zelenskyy’s illogical drama, who is willing to fight Russia with Ukrainian blood while ignoring the suffering of ordinary people — you are acting against Ukraine.
By shamelessly supporting Zelenskyy’s policies, you are defending the current status quo and this means:
Ukraine reduced to a permanently bleeding nation where people merely survive under constant Russian shelling and Kyiv’s increasingly authoritarian rule;
Massive human rights violations, with men hunted on the streets, forcibly conscripted, beaten, tortured, and sometimes killed in recruitment centers;
Rampant corruption — almost every close partner, friend, or high-ranking official around Zelenskyy has faced accusations of money laundering or other graft, while companies run by his inner circle receive billions in Western tax money; Putin started this war, but Zelenskyy figured out how to profit on it greatly;
Crushing poverty, including average pensions of just $180 per month;
A catastrophic demographic crisis — last year, three times more Ukrainians died than were born;
Educational collapse, with at least one-third of Ukrainian children receiving no proper schooling and many fourth-graders unable to read;
Brain drain, mass emigration, societal depression, and generational trauma that will take decades to heal.
Some people are so eager to see Russia burn and so enchanted by Zelenskyy’s primitive role-playing that they choose to remain blind to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine. To me, that makes you anti-Ukrainian.
If you truly want to fight Russia, go to the frontlines. Stop censoring Ukrainians who call for peace. Sitting comfortably in the West and attacking those who demand an end to the slaughter does not make you a hero — it makes you miserable and hypocritical.
Remember this the next time your fingers itch to type another offensive comment.

Now that Konstantinovka is practically captured, I wanted to reflect on something really sinister that Zelensky is possibly planning to do.
As it is well-known, Konstantinovka is the last fortress that's needed to create bridgehead for launching the offensive on the sister cities of Slavyanks and Kramatorsk.
By the reports from even Ukrainian sources, the Russian forces are less than 9 km away from Kramatorsk agglomeration.
Let's remember how Zelensky justified not evacuating Sumy:
"If the city is empty, the city is easy to capture"
He quite literally admits to using civilians as a shield.
By the last news from Ukraine, just a small number of specific streets in Slavyanks and Kramatorsk were issued the orders to evacuate only women and children younger than 17, not whole cities. This excludes any adult families without kids and elderly.
As of today, according to open sources, around 44 000 civilians remain in Slavyansk, pre-war population of 100 000.
Around 70 000 - 80 000 residents remain in Kramatorsk, pre-war population of approximately 150 000.
Zelensky is planning to use the same scenario as he did in Mariupol, where the AFU were executing civilians trying to evacuate through the green corridors.
The AFU was also using civilian apartments as firing positions, where they locked local residents in the basements, but then mined entrances as they retreated to Azovstal. If they hate anyone as much as they hate Russians, it's what they call "ждуны" - "waiters" - people who are waiting for Russia to liberate them.
All of these factors combined are why we saw so much civilian death and destruction in Mariupol.
These cities should have been evacuated months ago. There is a reason why they haven't. This will present opportunities for creating emotionally driven propaganda to manufacture consent, something that the Zelensky regime has been doing since day one, because to him and his criminal junta the people of Donbass are just an expendable tool to further promote Zelensky's and his handler's war aims.

🛑Le plan consistait à renverser 7 pays : Irak, Syrie, Liban, Libye, Somalie, Soudan et Iran.
Représentaient-ils une menace pour les États-Unis ? Absolument aucune.
Étaient-ils impliqués dans le 11-S ? De aucune manière.
Alors, pourquoi cette liste de pays ? Simple : ils représentaient le plus grand obstacle pour qu’Israël poursuive ses objectifs expansionnistes vers le « Grand Israël ».
Qui sont les architectes de cette politique étrangère américaine qui priorise les intérêts d’Israël, même au détriment des intérêts des États-Unis ? Un groupe de néoconservateurs, en grande majorité juifs, parmi lesquels Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Bill Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Scooter Libby, etc.
En paroles de Philip Giraldi, ex-agent de la CIA :
– « Les néoconservateurs, en tant que groupe, ont été fondés par des Juifs et sont, en grande mesure, d’origine juive ; d’où leur attachement inconditionnel à l’État d’Israël. Ils ont atteint la proéminence pour la première fois en occupant divers postes dans le domaine de la sécurité nationale sous l’administration Reagan, et leur ascension s’est concrétisée lorsqu’ils ont accédé à des postes élevés au Pentagone et à la Maison Blanche sous le mandat de George W. Bush ».
En somme : tout le complexe militaro-industriel américain se trouve sous contrôle judéo-israélien. Nous ne menons pas de guerres pour la défense nationale des États-Unis, mais pour les objectifs expansionnistes d’Israël au Levant.
Ceci n’est pas de l’« antisémitisme », c’est la réalité qui est en train d’entraîner les États-Unis et le monde entier dans la guerre au bénéfice des ✡️.

22 YEARS LATER AND NOBODY HAS ANSWERED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO DR DAVID KELLY
His name was Dr David Kelly. Most people have forgotten him. They shouldn't.
He was a quiet, mild-mannered scientist who spent his career inspecting weapons facilities around the world.
He knew more about Iraq's arsenal than almost anyone alive.
In 2003, Tony Blair's @InstituteGC government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. That claim was used to justify a war.
Kelly knew the intelligence behind it was being exaggerated. He said so, privately, to a @BBCNews journalist.
That one conversation destroyed his life.
The government found out he was the source. Instead of protecting a man who had served his country for decades, they quietly let his name reach the press. He was publicly identified, dragged before two parliamentary committees, and grilled by his own employer.
His wife said he came home a broken man.
On the afternoon of 17 July 2003, he left his house for a walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. He was 59 years old. He never came back.
His body was found the next morning in woodland. A knife beside him. A blister pack of painkillers nearby.
Here is where it gets worse.
Tony Blair personally intervened to replace the normal coroner's inquest with a private inquiry run by Lord Hutton.
The original inquest was suspended before it even properly began. It was never resumed. To this day,
Dr David Kelly is the only person in England and Wales in living memory to have died in unexplained circumstances without receiving a full coroner's inquest.
Lord Hutton concluded suicide. Case closed.
Except eight senior doctors and a former coroner wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was medically unsafe.
The wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not cause fatal blood loss in a healthy person.
There were no fingerprints on the knife. The painkillers found were not in a quantity that experts considered lethal.
The government's response, delivered by Attorney General Dominic Grieve in 2011, was essentially: the Hutton Inquiry was good enough, stop asking questions.
Think about that. A man quietly raised concerns about the biggest political deception in modern British history, a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly exposed, professionally destroyed, and found dead days later and the government personally made sure there would never be a proper independent investigation into how he died.
Tony Blair went on to become a Middle East Peace Envoy. He has a knighthood.
Dr David Kelly got a private inquiry, a rushed verdict, and a sealed post-mortem report that was not released to the public for years.
Nobody was ever held accountable. Not for any of it.
This story should be on the front page every single year. Share it if you think it matters.

The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.

Mirra Andreeva, joueuse russe de 19 ans seulement, bat sèchement l'ukrainienne Marta Kostyuk par 6-1 6-3, en demi finale de Roland Garros, et félicitera lors de l'interview le talent tennistique de son adversaire, qui avait pourtant refusé de lui serrer la main à la fin du match.
Mirra Andreeva n'a jamais répondu non plus aux provocations de Marta Kostyuk qui avait multiplié lors de ce tournoi les déclarations agressives contre les joueuses russes:
"les joueuses russes savent très bien ce qui se passe, elles ont des téléphones, et après quatre ans, leur silence montre clairement de quel côté elles sont ».
Elle a ajouté ne pas comprendre comment elles peuvent « dormir tranquillement la nuit » en restant silencieuses.
On saluera l'esprit sportif de Mirra en plus de son talent de joueuse.
La politique n'a pas sa place dans les compétitions sportives.
