Interview with Sonia Poulton, November 24, 2025

It was with great pleasure that I returned to Sonia Poulton’s Wake Up show to discuss the rise of the digital state in 2025. A special shout out to Carey from Wells for this one!In a half hour discussion, we got into:* deliberate scrambling of cognition via the trans agenda; * why not to waste time petitioning the Government; * Blair, digital ID, interoperability, and a single global system of digital control;* Palantir and the creation of a digital surveillance state; * Trump as the facilitator of technocracy;* the Ukrainian digital state;* the Global Government Technology Centre and the Agentic State;* AI, automated killing, and the information-liquidation model;* why AI is not to be trusted, even as institutions appear to be placing blind faith in it;* social media as a social containment mechanism;* Grok’s AI assistant Ani;* AI, loneliness, and psychosis; * Apps, smart devices, addiction, and dependency; * the power of mass non-compliance - reject “smart”!
