You Are Watching a Deep State Coup Against Nvidia to Capture Surveillance and Autonomous Robotics Tech

Article by Mike Adams.

Excerpt:

The choice is clear: decentralized liberty or a technocratic prison. I choose liberty. I choose open-source AI, local hardware, offline knowledge, and the right of every human being to think, speak, and verify the truth without permission from a surveillance state. The coup against Nvidia is a warning shot. The response must be to decentralize everything they want to control.

Collapse of Western Civilization—Why It’s Accelerating Now

Interview with Doug Casey.

Excerpt:

Let me list a few things that are basically—indeed almost entirely—unique to Western Civ. Some other cultures have adopted elements of them and have prospered as a result. But it’s often just a veneer. If the West falls as a culture, as a civilization, most other parts of the world will likely degenerate radically.

  • Free thought. Free thinkers are unique to the West. They’re being overwhelmed by political correctness and fear of thought crimes.
  • Free speech. Everywhere in the West, the language is being corrupted. There are notions and even words that you dare not utter for fear of being prosecuted and jailed.
  • Free markets. Free markets allow free thinkers, inventors, businessmen and industrialists to put their thoughts into practice, to the benefit of all. But the public fears them and wants more regulation and protections.
  • Limited government. Everywhere, the hoi polloi are clamoring for more government, bigger government, socialism, and even communism.
  • Individualism. Every other culture in the world has tried to quash this essential aspect of the West. It’s being replaced by identity politics wherein you are no more than a member of a group.
  • Rationality. It’s said that this is a white vice. Science and logic are thought to be destroying the world. They’re being replaced by superstition.
  • Liberty. This concept wouldn’t even exist without the West. It’s now seen as a danger where we need to hide in Safe Spaces.
  • Concept of progress. Many now prefer a static society where everybody is maintained by a guaranteed annual income. Progress is dangerous because it leads to inequality where some are left behind.
  • Privacy. In the primitive pre-Western world, everyone knew what everyone else was doing. We’re reverting to that with omnipresent Flock cameras and the surveillance state.
  • Property rights. They’re being replaced by the concept of “You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
  • Rule of Law. In other societies, law was what the king, the emperor, or the sultan said it was. Justice is being washed away in the West, delegitimized by millions of Kafkaesque laws and regulations.
  • Industry and enterprise. People have been taught to hate these Western virtues, thinking that they endanger Mother Earth and lead to inequality. Entrepreneurs are to be feared. Everybody should become an employee.

Do Not Touch: Theos, the Open Society and the Licensing of Christianity

Article by Marian Halcombe.

Excerpt:

Theos half understands this. In its advice on how to talk to the Committed Separatists, it raises what it calls the Progressive’s Dilemma, asking whether “high levels of taxation and redistribution” can be sustained “without commensurate levels of national loyalty”. It also asks whether a country with a thin sense of itself can stand up to “nationalistically-inclined powers on the world stage”, before quoting Alasdair MacIntyre’s remark that being asked to die for the modern state would be “like being asked to die for the telephone company” (pp. 109–10). So it accepts that a thick national identity is needed after all. It is needed so that people will pay their taxes and fight in wars. What is not wanted is enough national feeling for the people to object to who governs them and how. There, in two paragraphs, is the whole political theory of the managerial class.

Healer of Nations – extracts

From the book with that title by Gary North (published 1987). Free download (PDF) here.

[Editor’s introduction, by Gary North:]

Page ix:

There is virtually nobody of material on Christian international relations and foreign policy, and what little that does parade as Christian is simply warmed-over humanism, and intellectually lightweight humanism at that.

Page xi:

Foreign policy in the United States is controlled by a tightly knit “old boy” network of dedicated humanists, who quite properly regard their control over foreign policy as the linchpin in their overall control of the United States government. They do not want outsiders criticizing their little monopoly. They have devoted millions of dollars since World War II to finance books, journals, and studies on American foreign policy, all of which conclude that we must be firm with the Communists until we join with them in a one-world humanistic order. We must be visibly tough negotiators while we are capitulating to the vast bulk of their demands. Most important, the West must not try to roll back Communism.

Page xii:

Christians today are blissfully unaware of the need for an explicitly Biblical view of international relations, just as they are unaware of the need for an explicitly Biblical view of every other real-world problem. Sleepwalking Christians are the heart of the crisis of Western civilization in our day. They are unwilling or unable to offer explicitly Biblical alternatives to the collapsing humanist order. Until about 1980, they fervently believed that the humanists possessed some legitimate title to the seats of power in
this world, and they still believe that common natural law moral and legal principles are sufficient to hold the world system together until Jesus comes back in glory. So they sit on the side lines of life, waiting for Jesus to bail them out, or up, literally. Just as He bailed out Israel when the Assyrians arrived? Just as He
bailed out Judah when the Babylonians arrived? Just as He bailed out Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania when the Soviet troops arrived?

But we’re different, of course. We’re Americans. No need to worry. And if1.5 million babies are aborted here each year, it isn’t the Christians’ fault. Jesus is coming soon. Sit tight. Pray. And don’t miss the Superbowl next Sunday.
The Communists, who are our mortal enemies, are self-conscious in their hatred of Christianity and Western society that was built originally by Christian principles. They wish to destroy all traces of Christianity. So do the weak-willed humanists of the West. These humanists are also in agreement with the world retreating Christians of the West in their unified hostility to any suggestion that Christians should provide the world’s intellectual and cultural leadership because Christians alone have access to the Bible through the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Communists do not face any concerted opposition. World satanic empire is expanding without any significant organized opposition from the West. This has been Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s complaint long before the day that the Soviets expelled him in 1974.

[Introduction by R. J. Rushdoony:]

The purpose of Biblical history is to trace the victory of Jesus Christ. That victory is not merely spiritual; it is also historical.

Had Christ merely arisen as a spirit from the grave, it would have signified His lordship over the world of spirit but His surrender of matter and history. But by His physical resurrection, by His rising again in the same body with which He was crucified, He set forth His lordship over creation and over history. The world of history will see Christ’s triumph and the triumph of His saints, His church, and His kingdom. History will not end in tribulation and disaster: it will see the triumph of the people of God and the manifestation of Christian order from pole to pole before Christ comes again. The doctrine of resurrection is thus a cornerstone of the Biblical dimension of victory. . . .
There is thus a dimension of victory in history, Jesus Christ. The alternative plan of victory is social science, and history as a social science. This means the totalitarian socialist state, the world of 1984. For the Christian this is rather the dimension of hell, not of victory; for the believer, “this is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith” (I John 5:4).

(Introduction by Gary North) Page 3:

Christians do not know what the Bible says about social, economic, and political issues. They are going to have to learn very rapidly if the West is to be salvaged.

One of modem humanism’s most dangerous presuppositions: that the State *1 is the central institution in every area of life. It was also a major presupposition of ancient humanism. *2 It is a demonic belief.

*1 I capitalize the word “State” when I am referring to the covenantal institution of civil government; I do not capitalize it when I am referring to a regional political unit called a state.
