  David Hughes, Review of Iain Davis, The Technocratic Dark State​ - One of the Most Important Books That You Will Read

It is rare to come across a book that exposes how power really operates in the contemporary world...
..Davis’ book, which significantly develops an important series of essays published on Unlimited Hangout in 2025, stands alone as the single best analytical synthesis of up-to-date information on the global technocratic coup that has been underway since 2020.
  In 20 chapters spanning over 400 pages, Davis meticulously exposes the real power structures and agendas in today’s world...
..The Technocratic Dark State begins by exposing the bogus intellectual foundations being invoked to legitimise the attempted technocratic takeover. Without Davis’ contribution, who would have given much thought to the neoreactionary “Dark Enlightenment,” or concepts such as “accelerationism,” “gov-corp” and “sovcorps”?
  Most readers probably have no idea what those concepts mean, who coined them, or what kind of worldview they legitimise. Yet, as it turns out, Peter Thiel has long been partial to such ideas, and along with Elon Musk and other technocrats seems serious about implementing them. The highest-level agendas being enacted in the world today rest on these ideas.

​  While many commentators remain trapped in 20th terminology such as “fascism” and “communism,” the reality is that an entirely new political lexicon is required in order to understand the kind of totalitarianism that is being built today (i.e., global technocracy). It features strange terminology which Musk and others have openly used (e.g. “Dark MAGA” as an allusion to the “Dark Enlightenment”), but which is only decipherable for those in the know.​..

..It amounts to intellectual garbage, flawed on virtually every level, and Davis does a solid job of exposing its limitations.
​  This is very important, because it means that there are no sound intellectual foundations behind the drive to implement global technocracy. It is purely a power grab — the largest in history by some distance.​..

​..Therefore, means must be found of fooling citizens into accepting the technocratic measures being advanced... For example, Davis devotes an entire chapter to “Neoreactionary Christianity,” highlighting the ways in which Christianity has been hijacked by neoreactionaries to serve its purposes. Thiel, for instance, has plenty to say about the Antichrist while Palantir facilitates atrocities against the Palestinians.​..

..Voters have been deceived by Trump’s “techno-populism” and promises to create “efficiencies” via DOGE. In reality, Palantir has been granted the keys to US government databases, in line with the GovTech/Digital State agenda now being rolled out everywhere for purposes of “population control.” Palantir has also been awarded major contracts with nearly all, if not all, major US government agencies.

​  The ultimate consequence of an AI-powered Digital State, as I have argued, will be the use of digital technologies to facilitate the efficient “neutralisation” of dissidents (an extension of using drones to assassinate suspected “terrorists”)...

..The second half of The Technocratic Dark State is even stronger than the first, because it gets into the nitty-gritty of how technocracy is being implemented in 2025...

..Davis warns of the dangers of a social credit system (SCS) linked to digital ID:
​  "If we submit to a digital ID […], then, assuming we are compelled to use […] digital currency (linked to our digital ID), we will not be able to escape the social credit system, no matter how much we balk. Indeed, once those digital connections have been snapped into place like handcuffs, our behavior within the digital prison can be — will be — adjudicated in accordance with the SCS rules that govern us.​"
​  He makes no bones of the fact that we are faced with “oligarchs who are hyper-focused on exploiting digital technology for the purpose of enslaving humanity.”​

​  Indeed, the UK Government’s flat ignoring of a recent petition signed by 2.75 million Britons (4% of the population, including children) against digital ID shows that the ruling class has no concern whatsoever for public opinion.​..

..Davis draws a distinction between what he calls “NEONERD” oligarchs (i.e., “upstarts” seeking to exploit the new technologies for their own benefit) and the much more powerful “dynastic oligarchs,” whose control reaches back centuries. His argument is that their interests align in terms of a “high-risk, high-reward” plan to establish the New World Order in double-quick (accelerated) time...

..One significant development is Balaji Srinivasan’s idea of the “network state,” whereby superwealthy individuals band together to fund their own states. Improbable as this may sound, Davis provides multiple real world examples, such as Próspera, characterising them as parasitical entities designed to “suck wealth and resources out of nation-states and impoverish them” while concentrating their own power...

​..Chapters 16-18 are on digital currency and are some of the most important in the book. A permissionless DLT​ [distributed ledger technology, as Bitcoin]​ based digital currency, Davis argues, theoretically “decentralizes and thus neuters the immense power of the banks to control both the issuance of money and consequently finance.”
​  Instead, however, the technocrats want to bring in decentralised finance using permissioned DLT to issue their own digital currencies — in effect, an attempt to privatise the international monetary and financial system, placing all the power in the hands of those who control it.
​  A key step towards such a system in the United States was the passage of the GENIUS Act, which, in Davis’ view, facilitates “a monumental deception upon the American people and the world.” Interoperable stablecoins that are clearly designed to function as digital dollars have been excluded from monetary controls simply by asserting they are not “national currency,” thus placing them beyond Congress’s regulatory jurisdiction.
​  The idea of interoperability really means “allowing for centralised control,” with all transactions being recorded on a single unified ledger as per the technocrats’ original vision in the 1930s. Today, this is manifest in the Bank for International Settlements’ proposal for a global “unified ledger" ... which Davis calls the ​"Synthetic Hegemony Currency​".​..

..In an all-digital financial system, everything can be tokenised and placed on the blockchain, including so-called “natural assets.” It is estimated that the tokenized global economy will be worth $4-5 quadrillion (a quadrillion is a thousand trillion). In that context, Davis argues, the US national debt, currently at $38 trillion, appears as a drop in the ocean...

​..An even more audacious project is the Trump administration’s sovereign wealth fund, which aims to sell off 650 million acres of land (ca. 30% percent of the United States’ landmass), said to be the “sovereign property” of the US government. This is effectively theft, as it means that the land does not belong to the American people after all and can be signed over to oligarchs who can then tokenize the “ecosystem services” (a UN Agenda 21 term) that they have just purchased. Furthermore, their “natural capital” (another Agenda 21 term) can be traded over the counter (OTC), outside the regulated exchanges, evading SEC scrutiny.
​  If the public allows all this to go ahead, the result will be a privatised global financial system operating beyond regulatory scrutiny and handing ownership and control of everything (and everyone) to a criminal transnational oligarchy.​..

..There are different competing factions within that oligarchy. However, they all recognise that their interests are best served by the formation of a New World Order. In Davis’s view, this will be achieved, first through regionalisation (in line with the original technocratic vision of the division of the world into “Technates”), and then through the imposition of a single one-world government, ruling all of the regions.​..

..The final chapter, titled “Parasitic Gov-Corp Technates,” describes “a growing infestation of expanding private fiefdoms” that are eroding the public sector authority of national governments. They include “Network State Archipelagos, Freedom Cities, 15-Minute Cities, Resilient Cities, Charter Cities, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free Trade Zones (FTZs), Freeports, and ‘human settlements’” (another Agenda 21 term).​..

​..But, Davis observes, we should not be fooled into imagining that there is anything “free” about these oligarch-funded projects. In Thiel-funded Praxis (in Greenland), for instance,
​  "Your freedom to roam will be geofenced by AI-linked EVs. Your assets and rights will be “on-chain” and limited by the Praxis AI’s application of the Social Credit System (SCS) rules on its unified ledger, which will be hosted on the Praxis arm of the Finternet. Any behavior that isn’t already restricted by your programmable Praxis digital currency will be policed by AI surveillance and attack drones.​"...

..We do not have to accept such a future, however, as The Technocratic Dark State repeatedly underscores.​ Resistance begins with recognising the reality of what is taking place​... 

..Peaceful non-compliance with the oligarchs’ “demented edicts” and “insane schemes” opens the door to building “something truly better.”​...  ​

..Humanity thus stands at a pivotal juncture. With the oligarchs’ dream of enslaving humanity through digital means fast approaching realisation, everyone needs to understand the urgent message contained within these pages, and to act on it.​   https://dhughes.substack.com/p/review-of-iain-davis-the-technocratic

​..AI workloads do not draw power the way traditional computing does. They surge. They idle. They fluctuate thousands of times a second, driving load profiles that look less like a flat demand curve and more like an EKG.

The self-driving taxis have become ubiquitous in the city, but an uproar ensued when one ran over a beloved feline.

​  Kit Kat used to bar-hop along the block, slinking into Delirium for company and chin rubs. Everybody knew the bodega cat, affectionately calling him the Mayor of 16th Street. Kit Kat was their “dawg,” the guys hanging out on the corner said.
​  But shortly before midnight on Oct. 27, the tabby was run over just outside the bar and left for dead. The culprit?
A robot taxi.
​  Hundreds of animals are killed by human drivers in San Francisco each year. But the death of a single cat, crushed by the back tire of a Waymo self-driving taxi, has infuriated some residents in the Mission who loved Kit Kat — and led to consternation among those who resent how automation has encroached on so many parts of society.​   https://archive.is/WcC1f#selection-581.0-603.333

  Really worth reading, and not too long: Censored Lavrov interview with Italian media (FULL TEXT)

Lavrov has commented on the aborted meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Budapest

​  The understandings reached in Anchorage were an important milestone in the search for a long-term peace in Ukraine through overcoming the consequences of the violent anti-constitutional state coup in Kiev organised by the Obama administration in February 2014. The understandings are based on the existing reality and closely bound to the conditions of a just and lasting resolution of the Ukrainian crisis proposed by President Putin in June 2024. ​  As far as we know, those conditions were heard and received, including publicly, by the Trump administration – mainly the condition that it is unacceptable to drag Ukraine into NATO to create strategic military threats to Russia directly on its borders. 

​  Washington also openly admitted that it will not be able to ignore the territorial issue following the referendums in Russia’s five historical regions whose residents unambiguously chose self-determination apart from the Kiev regime that labelled them as “sub-humans,” “creatures,” and “terrorists,” and chose reunification with Russia.
​  The American concept that, at the US President’s instruction, his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff brought to Moscow the week before the Alaska summit was also built around the issues of security and territorial reality. President Putin told Donald Trump in Anchorage that we agreed to use this concept as a basis while proposing a specific step that opens a way for its practical implementation.
​  The US leader said that he should consult with his allies; however, after the meeting with his allies that took place in Washington the next day, we did not receive a reaction to our positive response to the proposals that Steve Witkoff delivered to Moscow before Alaska. No reaction was communicated during my meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in September in New York when I reminded him that we were still expecting it. 

​  To help our American colleagues decide on their own concept, we set forth the Alaska understandings in a non-paper and delivered it to Washington. Several days later, at Trump’s request, he and Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation and reached a preliminary agreement to meet in Budapest after thorough preparations for this summit. There was no doubt that they would discuss the understandings in Anchorage. 

​  After a few days, I spoke with Marco Rubio over the phone. Washington described the conversation as constructive (it was indeed constructive and useful) and announced that, after that telephone conversation, an in-person meeting between the Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister in preparation for the top-level meeting was unnecessary. 

​  Who and how submitted covert reports to the American leader after which he either postponed or cancelled the Budapest summit, I do not know. But I have described the general timeline strictly based on the facts for which I am responsible. I am not going to take responsibility for bluntly fake news about Russia’s lack of readiness for talks or sabotaging the outcomes of the Anchorage meeting. Please speak to The Financial Times regarding that.​   https://www.rt.com/russia/627767-censored-lavrov-interview-with-italian-liberal-newspaper/

​  IBM unveils Loon and Nighthawk, next-generation processors for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing

​Qubits are the fundamental unit of logical information in a quantum computer, similar to a classical computer’s bit. Unlike classical bits, which can be a 0 or 1, qubits can be 0, 1 or a “superposition” of both at the same time. Using this property, quantum processors such as IBM’s Nighthawk can do complex parallel calculations.
​  Tunable couplers push this even further by allowing pairs of qubits to interact with one another, thus enabling entanglement. Entanglement is useful because it allows a single computer operation to affect multiple quantum states across qubits at the same time, this allows quantum computers to explore many potential solutions in at the same time.
​  IBM said Nighthawk’s architecture will enable programmers to explore demanding problems that require up to 5,000 two-qubit gates. The company expects that future iterations of the processor will provide 7,500 gates by the end of 2026 and 15,000 gates by 2028.
​  With this new chip, IBM is working on a path toward what is called “quantum advantage”​.   https://siliconangle.com/2025/11/12/ibm-unveils-loon-nighthawk-next-generation-processors-scalable-fault-tolerant-quantum-computing/

​  But then THEY will see US​, too!  Cities Panic Over Having to Release Mass Surveillance Recordings

Yves here. BWAHAHA. There is so little good news on the mass surveillance that every win ought to be celebrated. And the precedent here is important if it holds. The cities affected by the setback to Flock using license plate reading as a pretext for pervasive visual data hauling seem not to be willing to bet on an appeal succeeding. Enjoy the schadenfreude of the rapid retreat. If we are really lucky, Flock will suffer irreparable financial damage.​   https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/11/cities-panic-over-having-to-release-mass-surveillance-recordings.html

​  CEO Of Crowd-For-Hire Company Calls For Transparency In Who Funds Demonstrations​   

According to The Hill, the proposed bill would also seek to ensure that foreign entities and intermediaries cannot covertly fund or coordinate demonstrations intended to destabilize domestic institutions.
​  The TPDA would also hold funders and organizers to a strict nonviolence standard and would disqualify those who promote or tolerate violence from nonprofit protections or certain federal benefits.
​  Swart told Newsnation that he’s making his proposal to Congress because peaceful protest is supposed to be protected speech, saying, “This isn’t about stopping protest; it’s about protecting it. The First Amendment only works when Americans know who’s paying.”​   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ceo-crowd-hire-company-calls-transparency-who-funds-demonstrations
