WATCH: Yes, Things are Bad, But Ultimately, Don’t Fear the Criminal Class!
In the most recent edition of Geopolitics & Empire, host Hrvoje Moric talks with entrepreneur Michael Driver:
Driver argues that the modern digital landscape, specifically AI and screen-based culture, is designed to sever individuals from their human intuition and natural senses. He interprets current global crises, including wars and health scares, as deliberate smoke screens for massive wealth transfers and the destruction of the middle class. Despite the rapid progress of this technocratic agenda, he maintains that such a top-down, complicated system is inherently unstable and destined to fail. To resist this enclosure, he advocates for reclaiming personal attention by disconnecting from the internet and supporting local, small-scale economies. Ultimately, Driver suggests that retaining one’s humanity and independent thought is the only effective way to survive the ongoing controlled demolition of Western society.

English football clubs sportswashing.
” Nine English Premier League clubs have been accused in a report by the NGO War on Want of complicity in Israel’s crimes in Palestine and Lebanon. According to the report, the clubs are being criticized because of sponsorship deals with companies directly involved in Israeli military operations. The clubs named are Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
At least 15 companies sponsoring Premier League clubs are said to be linked to activities in Israel. In particular, 6 companies operating in the technology and surveillance sectors stand out: Canon, Cisco, Google/Alphabet, HPE, Oracle and Sony. Another 6 companies are accused of supporting Israel financially and through the energy sector: AXA, BP, Eurobank, Evelyn Partners, HSBC and Standard Chartered. The report also mentions the government of the United Arab Emirates, owner of Manchester City, because of its role as a strategic ally of Israel and its involvement in financing militias in Sudan.
War on Want also states that four Premier League clubs discriminated against fans and employees who expressed support for the Palestinian cause and violated their freedom of expression. The best-known example mentioned is Arsenal’s dismissal of long-time kit manager Mark Bonnick in December 2024 because of his social media posts. The report also includes similar cases involving Brighton, Burnley and Everton”
The next vaccine for American’s will be the in development Tick vaccine.
matrixbot (@thematrixb0t): “Woman who’s raised horses in Ohio for 30 years: “I’ve never had to deal with these many ticks.” “I can’t take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere.” Nearly everyone points the finger at Bill Gates. Why? The Gates Foundation is funding tick research. They even backed a biotech, Oxitec, to study genetically altering cattle ticks. Farmers say they’re finding whole “boxes of ticks” on their land. People argue that because Gates funds tick research, a surge in ticks could benefit vaccine and product sales. There’s a well-documented tick explosion hitting Ohio this spring (of 2026), especially for livestock owners. Ohio now has a new tick species — from basically one medically important species 20 years ago to five today, some of which expand rapidly. Lyme cases have exploded: 40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → 2,800+ in 2025, with 2026 already looking high. Keep in mind, a Lyme vaccine is in development — no ticks, no market for it. You’re not going to believe who’s making it: Pfizer and Valneva” | nitter.poast.org
The US vassal state Australia – is setting itself up for an economic hit, to accommodate the US.
“”The Australian government has ordered six Chinese shareholders to sell their stake in the Australian rare earth mineral company, Northern Minerals Ltd.
The six shareholders own approximately 27% of the company, which is valued at $220 Million AUD ($157 Million USD), and have been given 14 days to divest from the company.
This is the second time the Australian government has intervened in Northern Minerals Ltd. In 2024, they also forced the sale of 10.4% of the company, which was also owned by Chinese-linked buyers.
The company primarily produces heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium and terbium, both of which are in heavy demand by defence industries.
Notably, last year, the Australian government and the United States government signed a critical minerals deal that included clauses that Australia would block asset sales due to “security grounds” if needed.”
I don’t have a cell phone; I threw the TV into the trash decades ago– scarcely watched it anyway– only for 1 novella that helped me learn Spanish.
But the internet– that’s my window to finding some truth among the lies.
It used to be that if you wanted to research something, you went to the library and consulted The Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature for magazine/Journal articles on your topic– and of course you also looked for books.
I’m sorry but I couldn’t resist this one:
(from The Daily Bollocks)
The director in question is one (“one”?) Jane Schoenbrun whose Wiki page tells me:
Perhaps “they” are “themselves” three siblings?
Schoenbrun is not described as a “transwoman” but as “transfeminine”. Yeah whatever.
Also:
Mushrooms, eh?
Sorry, I’m sure there’s plenty more laughs there but I need to go and get my tea.
Be careful, thought, chek if any crushed mushrooms have accidentally fallen into the cup (a possible change in your identity, which we are all used to, would lead to turmoil in the comment box) 🆔
Yep. We know how this will end for the “powers that be” because we know how things have ended for us *individually* every time we have tried to use power and control to get what we want. It ALWAYS fails, and we are seeing this basic truth writ very large right now so we can all grasp it once and for all. Thanks, powers that be!
I don’t watch the Wests political tool known as the Eurovision Song Contest, however I wasn’t in the slightest bit surprised to learn that the Zionist had come second again behind Bulgaria who won it – of course the illegally squatting military oppressive terror force that’s known as Israel ( on Palestinian lands) – isn’t even in Europe – it seems for the Zionists that committing genocide and killing thousands in neighbouring countries is no barrier to being embraced by much of Europe.
The last time the Zionists came second in Europe’s political singing contest – it was exposed that there was heavy propaganda and vote rigging to place the Zionists near the winning position.
Dear Scotsman, we have every reason to doubt that there was interference this time as well, especially given that at the time of the announcement of the audience vote for Israel (ranked eight with only 123 points by the jury’s vote) they receuve much more than the others – an astonishing 220 points. Which caused a clearly audible noisy expression of shock and disappointment in the vast majority of the traditionally liberal audience in the hall, who had previviously loudly booed the performance of the representative of the genocidal state…
(I know, because unfortunately I watched part of this thing. Part of my network of informants about reallity in Bulgaria blackmailed me with threats that they would stop giving me info. There was also a women who said “You will watch” and that decided everything.)
…220 deadly bullets and Israel led with 343 points, 47 ahead of the second Romania with 296 (which subsequently remained until the very final)..
Darkness dsscended over the souls of the laity. Blank, unbelieving cisgender eyes under brocken pink eyelashes. Torn femboy hairs. Furiously crushed new trans breasts. And a few old-fashioned just gays with sad faces.
And everyone else, the all crowd from all over the world in fron of the TVs, outraged by Israel’s admission to the stage, received a bullet in the heart. They all collectively received the MESSAGE. I can hardly describe…
– Wait, wait, with how many points did Israel lead?
– 47. Why?.. Oh, enough man, a completely random number, it could have been 46 or 48 and then you wouldn’t have said it..
– Yes, it could have been. And 47 could have been not the most prozio president. It could have been not Larry Fink at the helm of Blackrock. Marx could have been not the son of the rabbi, the main sponsors of the Russian revolution – not those bankers, and Trotsky/Bronstein, Lenin/Blank and the majority of the commissars – some others. The Rothschilds could have been some others, and Frankfurt not his headquarters, and Frankfurt School – some others. Siegmund Freud could have been not him.
Marvin Minsky could have been not proudly named the founder of AI, and instead Sam Altman, another person could have been chosen to introduce ChatGpt among the proletariat. Someone else, not Zuckerberg, could have been chosen to invite the masses to the social network-mother for the first time. Instead of Ray Kurzwail someone else could have been ordained as a longtime superstar influencer of transhumanism.
Kissinger could have been someone else. And also Chomsky.
Instead of Weinstein and Epstein, it could have been some others. And most of the Russian oligarchs could have been completely others. And also Kolomoisky and the company. Hollywood could be completely dominated by people from a completely different tribe.
Maduro’s opposition in 2013(?) could have been a different person, and when he was occused of antisemitism, Maduro could have revealed to the press that his grantfather belonged to the other and not to the same people. Instead of Zelensky, someone else could have been put in Ukraina, and instead of Shannenbaum in Mexico too, and also in Argentina, where it turned out that, according to his own words to the press, (after the ellections) a some rabi told the astonished Havier (Milei) that his grantfather was a rabbi…
But only by omitting all the others numerous examples that “could have been” but were not and are not.
– Okay, let’s watch to the end. Look, Denmark, Australia and Bulgaria are left, something can happen..
– Haha, “something can” – how naive you are. It will happen that they will come out more and more openly and more and more no one will be able to even point this out loud. They will demonstrate in the most brazen way that there are no rules for them and they can take whatever they want, just like they will win now. Look at the bearded and strong (like an Idf soldier) israeli – specially selected to symbolize traditional masculinity against the backdrop of the decaying ultra-liberal face of the rest of there.
He will ain and say that God is great and has chosen the people of Israel to win, because they keee His commandments and are always for peace and love, not hatred and terror.
The Kangaroos and the Eriknielsens failed, staying away from Israel’s 343 bullets in the hearts of desperate millions of viewers. Only the small, inconspicuous, unknown Bulgaria – the poorest and most corrupt country in EU and maybe all Europa – remained like a mouse in front of the israelli hegemon. And the colours of their flag – white, green, red (there is no black, but…)
As the Bulgarien participant Dara says, the name of her song Bangaranga, comes from an expression in Jamaican street slang and means “a feeling of strength that you carry within yourself, to fight fear with special energy… When you feel in harmony with the nature and world you can archieve anything.”
The Bulgarian song won 312 point from the audience vote and, together wit the 204 from the jury, defeated Israel with the largest difference between the first and second in the history of eurovision.
And, yes, her breast are real, not silicone (the People want to know). Two big strong boombs in the face of the genocidal beast.
Is the Graun criminal or just standard hypocritical by accusing Trump of not paying enough attention on human rights in his recent PR China trip? Too much pot calling the cattle black.
So despite how rapidly the technocratic agenda has advanced we can still rest assured “such a top-down, complicated system is inherently unstable and destined to fail”? It sure seems inherently unstable social systems robbing and killing the many for the few have been around a long time. And that more recent technological progress perfecting population control already has gone pretty far in producing a prison planet. So I’m afraid that things look like they can get a whole lot worse, because for the most part class war is only being fought by ruling classes, while masses keep their heads up their apps.
We seems to have been through it before in history.
Think of Mao’s the long Red March against the Kulaks who killed 60 mio decent people. Hitler’s Arian race and 1/8 jew blood race. Babylon, Khazarian, Venezia, WWI, the Black Death, m.m. Pure stupidity.
I FINALLY got it framed in:
Architecture of the system build and being build: https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/epstein-architect-of-global-control-0 Architecture
Implementation of the system now and forward:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07wrjhJvZNY Simon Dixon The AI bail out
Solution: They are using enormous of money to make 100% compliance.
So this is the systems weakness: It can never function and will go down some day in its own smut, and non-compliance will speed up its collapse.
The moment people give it the finger, its done. As Mao said, “power is only power if you recognize it”. Each man and woman has to get around it in his/her own way with non compliance to make it collapse.
It will take suffering because they will react with violence, murder and more.
I already made an ref to Canada where in some states people are banned from even walking in the forest.
In US they can already close your passport on every single citizens if you are in debt to he public.
https://canadafreepress.com/article/the-covid-like-forest-ban-in-effect-in-canadas-maritimes .
But for my part there is only one option: God’s beautiful creation and truth is the only way. I cant accept to be in the group of liars and killers.
Thanks to all you in OffG, UKColumn, alt media, commenters, who did a hard work.
I hope I sometimes made a contribution too. For me the travel has ended.
The factual picture is finally clear.
Humpty Dumpty_17 and peepee-poopoo_69 analysed and revealed the whole psy-op in two weeks and presented their results on social media…….and papa here got it.
The old local community thing. It can work for some, but the problem is the “criminal class”, and I like that moniker, will just keep on keeping on. And fear is relative. The definition is: an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm. It’s like “My fear that the criminal class is going to destroy the lives of my grandchildren has motivated me to join in efforts to eliminate the criminal class”. I’d suggest we walk and chew gum at the same time, i.e., buy your fresh foods from the local farms and community markets, and make efforts to bring justice to the fucking world. To me, this has always been like, OK, since we can’t beat those assholes, we’ll just let them have all they want and scratch out our meager existence like the Amish. What if I don’t want to be like the Amish?
I should have added at the end, “what if I want justice, and dare I say, revenge?” Ya, I can’t be alone in that. Jesus, these fuckers need to be taught a lesson as they used to say. Turning off your fucking internet and buying shit from the farmer’s market ain’t gonna cut it. Remember the old movie, “Network”? I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore?. Where the hell is that, man? Why don’t we have some of that going on? I know in the states, once again, it’s all about the next goddamn election and the democrats are going save our asses. Shit.
I have not watched the interview yet, but having read the above description and the “disconnect from the internet” suggestion. I mean, really, what???
Getting rid of cell phones and disconnecting from the internet advice sounds like someone a hundred years ago telling people to disconnect from the trolley (go back to horse and buggy) and later, disconnect from the telephone.
Come on. No one is going to disconnect from the internet. And most will not get rid of their phones.
Had I never connected to the internet, among other things, I would be jabbed to the hilt with cvid poison and continuing to take every other shot. I’d have been masked up and six-feeting. I would not have been educated about the whole thing and therefore able to make my own choice.
Like many other creations, and natural instincts, everything in moderation. And that is quite a challenge. But it seems to me that the internet is here to stay.
Now I will listen to the interview and hang my head in shame if I have read his comment out of context.
Valid points Judith.
Disconnecting from Social (🤪) Media makes more sense.
The reason we carry a tracking device mobile/cell phone around with us that the PTB can monitor – is because the PTB has made it all but necessary to have it – with online banking replacing branches, and hundreds of other if not thousands of businesses, along with say councils and and other public bodies now not sending out forms – or answering the companies/local public services phones, with most giving the lame excuse of the previous “Covid” pandemic.
Folk in Britain who are unemployed – are now forced to download a app to their cell/mobile phones to access benefits and to basically text to advisors – everything is moving in this direction and you will need to rely on your mobile/cell phone for more and more – that’s the way the PTB wants it, the coming CBDC’s will cement a cornerstone of their nefarious plan for us.
It’s pretty funny when the person on the screen is telling us to stop watching the screen, and the guy on the internet is giving advice on getting rid of the internet.
It’s like they don’t realize the contradiction in their words.
“DO NOT LOOK AT THIS SIGN”
Yes you’re right, your comment under my interview is the first time I’ve realised that. How could I have been so stupid? Thank you wise one.
I appreciated your interview very much, Michael! Thank you and thank Hrvoje too!
Very nice!
You are right. We are intelligent enough to use it as a tool against it. while at the same time realize its dangers = disabling our own senses.
I agree. It is precisely because of the internet that I have begun to awaken to all the deception and illusion promoted within the larger society. Just like you, were it not for the internet, I would probably would be ‘vaxxed to the max’ by now, and maybe even dead. Once upon a time, I really believed in The Science! But I guess it is true that there can be too much of a good thing, so I do try to limit my doom-scrolling somewhat, and I have still held out against buying a ‘smart’ phone.
I was the last person on earth to own a cell phone. OK, the last person in my area of the earth.
I held out until all of the payphones everywhere were gone. I work with young children, and cared for lots of nieces and nephews. I had to have a phone so I bought a little “burner”. Called some number when I needed minutes.
Well, that phone became so antiquated I was told by the minutes people that they could not load minutes on it anymore. Too old.
So I bought a used iphone – the lowest number – and used it for years. I had to replace for just about the same model.
I did not come out of the womb with a phone in hand like babies do now so I am not as attached as most under 40’s. I use it for communication, not sustainability. No judgement, just fact.
(Which is not to say that I am not APPALLED at seeing them in every hand at the gym – while people are actually working out. But to each their own.)
I agree. We can go back much further in time to observe negative human behavioural responses to changes/advances in technology.
Consider the hunter-gatherer’s surrender of individual sovereignty to warlords and/or the institutional hierarchy of early city states setting the foundations for modern class division, specialization of labour and ultimately, economic exploitation. Consider the degradation in general health and varied diet due to the advent of agriculture – the consequence of milling grains with stone implements had, for millennia, introduced mineral particulate which contributed to widespread poor dental health causing pain and the potential for abscess-related mortality. Now that we’re able to process grains without stone tools, we introduce toxic compounds to produce fed with artificial chemical fertilizer.
These would be the consequences of eating from the tree of knowledge I guess. Still can’t shake that original sin…
I find it best to comment first, listen second also.
Listen first and then be understood
No you should definitely not bother to understand the context before passing comment. It’s much easier
I understand your point. Fact is, I was reacting to the “turn off the internet” statement which is espoused quite often by many commenters on many substack and independent comment sections.
I should have made the point at the beginning of my comment that I was referring to the much espoused “get off the internet”, and not specifically to what Mr. Driver was stating.
Knee-jerk reaction. Point taken.

Add the right link and I will change for you
Our time is the most precious thing we have because there is only so much of it.
Best to make good use of it.
“Supporting local small scale” stuff isn’t as easy as you think.
Do you have farmers markets where you are? Local producers, craftspeople, tradespeople? Small shops that aren’t chains? – Use them!
Those sorts of people are going to be targets. You think they want people growing their own food, making their own things?
Who said it’s gonna be easy?
I pity those trillionairs who can’t take a cent to the next life but have to surrender their precious $$$$$$$$$$$$ to ‘their’ spoiled brats. On top they go straight to Hell for a considerable period, now fully in the grip of their demonic puppet master. How dumb!
AI as demonic possession.
Yes, it’s satanic.
It knows nothing.
It has no reason and conscience.
It can only steal.
And how it’s used, is to murder people.
Satan’s war against Humanity is like that.
But the Devil is defeated, and that’s the whole point of the Revelation.
AI is akin to a gun, as with AI, the old saying guns don’t kill people – people kill people, so the saying goes for AI, which if put to good use will help humanity – but put to bad use and it helps to kill people.
AI is created by the military, for their convenience and comfort.
It’s also about $elling more $tuff.
Why are so many so fucking greedy?
Sinners are greedy.
The world system is capitalistic, and it’s all about $elling more $tuff.
To survive.
When everybody are trying to knife you in your back and steal from you what you have, your wife, your job, your personality, you ability, you are grabbing too what you can.
And I thought I was an old cynic, that comment makes you sound entrenched in your views.
I am myself lucky. But I have been there on the bottom and seen too many going down and be on the lowest peasant level.
So I forgive them for their failings because I know how hard it is to be there where everything is too hard. I forgive them.
But I do not forgive a man who already have too much for his character weakness and horny addictions to get more from this level.
I cannot believe what that STOOPID man did: He is sitting at the banquet table, awaiting Xi. Xi isn’t there yet, but his private folder/notebook is. So Trump just reaches over, opens the folder, takes a peak, doesn’t find it revealing enough, so lifts that sheet of paper & looks at the next one. Doubtless it’s all in Chinese, so he gives up, closes the folder.
Does he not know this is impolite? Does he think all the others at the table are blind to what he’s doing? Does he not know EVERYTHING is being filmed? He’s like an 8-year-old cheating on a test.
In what universe would that be acceptable?
Well, he is US President yes? I guess the President of Albania could not have done that.
He’s never grown up.
His behaviour is that of a spoilt, oversexed, 15 year old, tantrum tosser.
It’s the noodles. Noodles can do that to you.
Haven’t you heard? The universe has now been renamed the Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom.
Eight-year-olds are more intelligent and more devious at cheating!
Penelope, with all due respect, of course he knew. They all knew. They don’t care. Maybe they pretend to care. But they don’t care.
It was probably the menu.
Easier said than done when the system have all the keys to surveil and lock anything up.
It can now give you prison time and heavy fines even out in remote areas, for making a fire to boil your soup. https://canadafreepress.com/article/the-covid-like-forest-ban-in-effect-in-canadas-maritimes
And if you are being caught in some petty crime and land in prison, you are subject to all kind of gain of function experiments.
And if you are of no more use in experiments, you are being enroled and transported into the Ukraine war or some war elsewhere as cannon fodder.
