Outsmarting Empire - "Analogue Living is not a rejection of technology, it is a Return to Sanity" Mile Harris

Bank of International Settlements' (BIS) Single Unified Ledger - Miles Harris "When a debt-based financial system enters crisis and all assets are digitally denominated and custodied centrally and visible in real-time, they're programmable and dependent on the ledger. Then when the system breaks losses are likely to be allocated from the top down automatically and with minimal ability for citizens to resist, hedge or escape. So in effect we could be turned into buyers of last resort for government debt and lenders of last resort to the banking system." (See David Rogers' thesis "The Great Taking".)

You will be Tokenized! Your behavior, monitored and predicted, becomes financial collateral - "a risk bearing economic asset". Private KYC providers become ID gatekeepers, KYC token becomes the passport for "our digital twins". Your entire financial life (and therefore social life, lifestyle) will be governed by state/corporate actors. "Self-custody identity is the only meaningful protection" But it's not too late - vote with your money (be thoughtful how and where you spend your money). Your digital identity will be programmable using smart contracts... Court sentences administered by smart contracts? Such as... Identity restricted - geofenced? Socially isolated or restricted? Purchases restricted - alcohol, meat etc. fuel not allowed to be purchased? Access to goods and services - no Internet? No rock concerts? No medical assistance? De-personed for X days, months? Assets seized - registered ownership transferred to other identity? The possibilities are endless!

Chris Hedges shares his views on the current political conditions in the USA Opening talking points - American economic decline started with Carter’s policies - Democracy in the USA does not exist. The Unaparty rules. - 2024 election was a battle between Corporatists (Democrats) and Oligarchs (Republicans) - Corporatists want stability (eg trade agreements), Oligarchs desire chaos (eg deconstructing the administrative state – because it’s Rentier capitalism [rent seeking – eg toll booths like Amazon, Netflix]) - The Oligarchs won. Aristotle said the end result of Oligarchy is either tyranny or revolution... Gets really interesting when they start talking about the fascist Christian right’s (ie which is not genuinely Christian) worldview of magical thinking… And much more. The solution? Destruction of the current system and the ruling class through mass action – disruption of economic, social and political life. Militant labor movements to shut the rulers down. Likelihood of success? Marginal.
