London Calling: A Journey into Our Techno-Totalitarian Future


Jacob NordangÄrd: Entering the UK is like a dystopian vision of the future

Last weekend, I spoke at a conference in London about the establishment of the global AI-agentic state. The journey there felt like a dystopian vision of the future straight out of a Terry Gilliam movie, revealing just how far advanced this agenda already is. The question is: where will we be in ten years?

I had already had to apply for an entry permit (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and, in the process, submit my biometric data – a procedure that naturally requires the use of a smartphone.

Upon arriving at the airport (Stansted), I first had to take the automated shuttle train to passport control before being herded like cattle toward the new fully automated passport control system. There, I was met by a machine that simultaneously scanned me and my passport before the gates opened – though only on the second attempt, as I happened to scan the wrong page of my passport and needed staff assistance.


After that, I went to the train station, where new ticket barriers awaited me. Here, I had to scan my ticket; the gates then opened, and I could begin the journey into London.

However, as I was leaving the station, I walked right into the ticket barriers because I thought they would open automatically, like in Stockholm. But that wasn’t the case; in London, you have to scan your ticket both when entering and exiting. I again needed help from staff to get out.

I then made my way through a long and complex tunnel system before reaching another set of barriers – this time for the subway. Tickets didn’t work here; instead, everyone tapped the cards they were carrying. There were no ticket inspectors, ticket machines or information points to be found. I was lucky enough to find staff at the accessible gate who took pity on me.

I managed to find a standing spot on a packed and sweltering subway train before arriving at my final destination, King’s Cross, fifteen minutes later. There, I once again got stuck in the “ticket gate Hell” and had to ask for help to get out (explaining that I was a confused Swede who didn’t understand their system).

Thank goodness for real people who are able to help when technology is confusing or fails.

As I walked out, I noticed that the familiar Chase Manhattan Bank logo was printed on the contactless payment mechanism between the turnstiles.

That is to say, the “Rockefeller bank,” which was led by David Rockefeller for several decades. I later learned that I simply could have tapped my Swedish bank card.

It is clear that their infrastructure is in place; now the “cattle” simply need to be convinced to get physically chipped as well.

Afterwards, I made my way to my hotel near King’s Cross. It was a veritable miniature hotel, where I had to squeeze into a claustrophobic seven square meters. I realised that the three rooms in my corridor could easily have fit inside our undersized living room. A taste of the “compact living” of the future? On top of that, I had to handle the check-in digitally via my phone.

After a night’s sleep, I took a taxi to the conference. For the first time, I used the Uber app, which – in addition to allowing you to track the car’s route to the pickup point – provides advance information about the driver’s identity, ratings and car model. Convenient for the customer, yet simultaneously a tool for surveillance and control.

During the ride, I conversed with the driver, a young Black man with short dreads. After the usual small talk, I revealed that I was an author writing about geopolitics and the exercise of global power. I brought up the situation in Sweden regarding the Wallenberg family’s influence on politics, while he spoke knowingly of the Rothschild family’s dominance in England. Taxi drivers are evidently more alert and aware than the indoctrinated cadre of academics who populate our universities.

I got off at the venue in Islington where the conference was to be held. I later learned that it was one of the few places that still welcomed voices critical of the system.

The event was organised by The Real Left, a group of politically conscious left-wing people who, during the pandemic, reacted to the fact that virtually all left-wing organisations offered absolutely no resistance to lockdowns, mask mandates and mass vaccination – choosing instead to join forces with the pharmaceutical industry -and consequently felt a need to organise.

To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing similar in Sweden, where the alt-right and New Age movements have instead absorbed the bulk of the opposition.


Several very interesting presentations were given during the conference (which brought together a small but knowledgeable audience).

Here, co-organiser Emily Garcia and feminist academic Heather Brunskell-Evansspoke about the superclass’s war on reproduction and how the transgender issue is being used as a battering ram for a dystopian future agenda.

Just before the lunch break, Iain Davis – author of ‘The Technocratic Dark State’ – arrived, and we had a brief chat before it was his turn to take the stage and deliver an appreciated presentation on how we can escape the technocratic “dark state.”

This was followed by a brief but serious address by human rights activist Debbie Hicks, in which she warned that preparations for a new world war are underway. This includes the reintroduction of conscription in the UK for men up to the age of 65!

Then it was my turn. I built upon my presentation, ‘The Digital World Brain and the Rise of the Agentic State’, from the ‘Bevrijding van Bedrog’ conference in the Netherlands on 12 September.

My starting point was Tony Blair’s declaration from the 2005 G8 summit – stating that climate change is the greatest threat to our shared environment – as well as the document ‘Global Warning’, signed by government advisor David Wasdell, which was circulated among the participants before the meeting; it included a call to initiate a long-term reduction of the global population!

After leaving the post as Prime Minister, Tony Blair, tellingly, became an advisor to JPMorgan Chase and still serves as Chairman of the JPMorgan Chase International Council (originally established as the Chase International Advisory Committee by David Rockefeller in 1965). Tony “Liar” Blair now sits on the board of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.

Since Blair’s declaration, the population agenda has been reflected in the planetary boundaries framework, the pandemic declaration, the Pact for the Future, the construction of the “agentic state” and the threat of a new major war in which AI-led systems will likely be in the driver’s seat.

Report: US prepares major Iran strike plans


Report: US prepares major Iran strike plans


The Pentagon has drawn up plans for a renewed large-scale military offensive against Iran, including potential strikes on missile installations, drone facilities and energy infrastructure, The New York Times reported Thursday, citing US officials.

The preparations come as the American military moves toward deploying three aircraft carriers to the Middle East, marking one of its largest concentrations of naval forces in the region in years.

According to the report, President Donald Trump has instructed military planners to develop additional options for attacking Iran, despite repeatedly declining to authorize major operations in recent months.

Trump's national security advisers and Pentagon officials have presented him with five proposals for significant military action against Iran or the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen. The president rejected each of them.

Nevertheless, preparations for another possible offensive are underway. Senior national security officials, led by Vice President JD Vance, discussed the latest proposals during a meeting at Camp David last Friday.

The plans envision a concentrated military campaign lasting approximately three days, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Potential targets include Iran's missile and drone stockpiles, much of which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has rebuilt since the beginning of the war. Iranian energy installations, Revolutionary Guard command centers and military headquarters could also be targeted.

Axios previously reported details of the latest military planning.

The preparations are proceeding alongside diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. US officials have endorsed Trump's assessment that negotiations conducted through intermediaries have produced some progress, although fundamental disagreements remain over Iran's nuclear program.

Washington wants an agreement addressing Tehran's nuclear ambitions before resolving other disputes. Iranian negotiators, however, have insisted that nuclear discussions should take place only at the final stage of negotiations.

American officials have also expressed concern that Iran has become a more formidable military opponent as the conflict has continued.

According to the report, improvements in Iranian tactics have forced US forces to expend more interceptors against incoming missiles than earlier in the war, placing additional pressure on American ammunition reserves.

Intelligence assessments also indicate that Iran has improved its ability to target US military bases using satellite imagery supplied by Chinese companies.

Since the last significant exchange of retaliatory strikes in September, Iran has attacked at least 13 vessels, according to a monitoring organization operated by the British Navy. US intelligence assessments place the figure closer to 20, according to people briefed on the findings.

US, European groups issue travel advisories after Houthis attack Riyadh airport


US, European groups issue travel advisories after Houthis attack Riyadh airport


The US Embassy in Jordan issued a travel advisory on Friday to Americans in the Middle East in light of current hostilities in the region, specifically pointing to the recent Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's Riyadh airport.

"Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties," the embassy wrote, adding that "the hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly" and Americans should monitor the situation closely, particularly if they are planning travel to or from the region.

Also on Friday, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA recommended airlines not to operate within additional portions of Saudi airspace after Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis attacked Riyadh airport.

In an updated conflict zone information bulletin for Saudi Arabia airspace, which was initially issued on September 30, the EU regulator said recent attacks had demonstrated the ability and intent of the Houthis to strike targets deeper inside Saudi territory, including the capital.

The situation escalated after Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation said on Friday that three Saudi nationals were killed and several people were wounded following two attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Thursday.

In a statement on X/Twitter, the General Authority of Civil Aviation said the first attack targeted airport facilities, while the second struck an aircraft belonging to Saudi state carrier Saudia.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Thursday they had attacked the airport with two cruise missiles.

The group also said it had targeted an airport in the southwestern city of Najran, a claim Saudi authorities have not confirmed, and an airbase in Khamis Mushait with ballistic missiles.

The Houthis say they are targeting the kingdom over its support for government forces in Yemen's reignited civil war. Saudi Arabia says it is backing an offensive by Yemen's UN-recognized government to take back territory from the Houthis.





Europe’s War Fever Morphing EU Into Military-Political Bloc, Kremlin Warns


Europe’s War Fever Morphing EU Into Military-Political Bloc, Kremlin Warns

Europe is in the grip of a militarization obsession and intends to turn the EU into a military-political bloc, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

French President Emmanuel Macron posted a video online on Tuesday showing a test launch of an M51.3 strategic ballistic missile to convey what he called a "loud and clear message."

"Europe is obsessed with militarization — with plans to militarize the European Union, an economic bloc, by turning it into a military-political bloc," Peskov told reporters.

The concept of militarizing Europe, rooted in a confrontation with Russia, is a dead end and will lead to nothing good, the spokesman cautioned.

"We and President [of Russia Vladimir Putin] have repeatedly said this, we are taking all necessary measures to ensure our national security at a strategic level," Peskov said, adding that Russia is monitoring the situation with the plans in question to militarize Europe and is always on alert.
