Many thanks, as always, to Dennison Joyce, for this interview recorded on October 6, 2026 — the beginning of a difficult month for me. Only now have I had the chance to re-listen to it and to publish it.
We got into:
* the nature of the Omniwar and the reasons for it;
* the digital control grid, most obviously instantiated by CBDC, but also by psychographics, digital ID, etc.;
* the deceptive marketing of all this under the banner of “convenience”;
* the population’s inability to live without a “smart” phone and what this means in terms of Klaus Schwab’s 2016 vision to get technologies inside the body that connect to an external network;
* James Giordano and the battle for the brain, and the potential for syringe-injectable technologies to cross the blood-brain barrier;
* the “Covid-19 vaccines” — why try to inject them into everyone?;
* why the right to gun ownership will prove ineffective in the context of the Omniwar;
* data centres as the hardware needed to power the digital gulag;
* the lie that “we have to get there first before China/Russia”;
* the power of psychological warfare in subduing the population while the rollout of technocracy proceeds;
* the need for people to awaken and find the courage to action to stop the global technocratic coup;
* the problem of “freedom of speech but not reach” and digital kettling — we need to build a genuinely free internet;
* the dark side of EMF towers, given the known history of electromagnetic warfare;
* the US Government unconstitutionally killing its own citizens and the attempt to overturn 250 years of modern political history;
* the reasons why “they” are doing “this”; and
* evil and the history of totalitarianism — unimaginable for the ordinary person.

The discussion begins around the 3-minute mark following a technical glitch.
Summary
Universities have increasingly shifted from independent inquiry towards serving corporate, financial and technocratic power. Although education has historically served ruling elites, we contend that contemporary control is more extensive, with funding arrangements, career incentives and institutional priorities shaping what academics research and teach.
We trace this transformation through early twentieth-century social engineering, post-war state-directed research and the military-industrial complex, followed by neoliberal reforms from the 1970s onwards. Commercialisation, tuition fees, reduced public funding and dependence on corporations and philanthropic foundations have all influenced academic disciplines and marginalised challenging perspectives.
We question whether the expansion of higher education has genuinely encouraged independent thought. We argue that universities increasingly prioritise efficiency, measurable outcomes, employability and compliance over intellectual independence. We suggest that education increasingly produces predictable workers and consumers rather than critical thinkers. Students, meanwhile, are encouraged to pursue qualifications and satisfy institutional requirements rather than question existing social arrangements.
The discussion criticises the marginalisation of Marxist, class-based and anti-capitalist analysis. We argue that identity-based cultural conflicts can distract from class divisions and the power of transnational elites.
We express concern about AI-generated essays, educational technology and commercial online platforms, which risk weakening independent thinking while expanding institutional control and data collection.
We argue that academia’s current direction results from political and institutional choices rather than historical inevitability. The broader message is that intellectual independence requires questioning dominant narratives, recovering neglected critical traditions and creating educational spaces less dependent on established sources of power.

Abstract
In 2015, during his tenure as Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab described the Fourth Industrial Revolution as a transformation that changes not what we do but who we are. His description of some mysterious inexorable process, which few members of the public appeared to notice at the time, offer profound insights about actors in places of power and influence and how their mental processes work to conceptualize the masses.
Since concepts precede words, language serves as the common denominator for our intellectual transactions, both in the academy and in broader society, and therefore must also be the first site where the modification of meaning is made to alter basic conceptual categories. The reconstruction of society toward the “New Normal” is typified by how we think and speak about the ongoing sacrifice of the center of societal and cultural reproduction: the family unit. As envisaged by the major investors in global governance by technological means, elite institutions of higher learning such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cambridge, and Oxford have lead the global campaign in dismantling key concepts that, for millennia, delineated males from females.
The capture and control of academic discourse point to the successful capture of the Western academy now responsible primarily for remolding young minds to fit a future of total unquestioning servitude. This presentation considers the disintegration of the Western academy in the Covid-19 world as another causal link in the long chain of events organized to disrupt, disintegrate, and deploy anti-scientific thinking about the natural world, about creatures and creation. Enlisted in the effort to critique the reengineering of our perceptions of the human body are theories in Gestalt psychology and cognitive linguistics.

Abstract
“How did we get into this mess?”…is a common question in this post-Covid era. The widening recognition that our current global turmoil is the result of a strategic plan, rather than a series of mistakes (and that the labelling of that strategic plan as a ‘conspiracy theory’ is itself, an intrinsic part of that same plan) often amplifies our ‘freeze’ response to fear. That’s why it’s crucial to objectively uncover the corporate playbook strategies that indoctrinate generations: teacher-education.
Educational policies therefore present valuable analytical tools. Here, I take a root cause analysis approach to examine teacher-education curricula, presenting insights into how and why populations are vulnerable to the technocratic weapons of this silent war.
Drawing on Australasian and UK data as case-studies, I expose how universities’ teacher education programmes suppress ‘uncomfortable knowledge’ and silence dissenting voices. Student-teachers’ access to broad curricula, good quality teaching and unbiased learning resources are restricted. The institutions that train schoolteachers are devoid of opportunities that develop critical thinking skills and authentic debate. This is because hidden forces limit, manipulate and cancel research publications and thereby skew learning resources, preventing academic freedoms. Awareness of, and ways to navigate academia’s corporate playbook, including recognition of propaganda used in behavioural science, have been censored. This exacerbates the distortion of facts for student-teachers and future pupils. The subsequent negative impacts on schools, families and wider societies are catastrophic. Finally, I suggest ways to counter this infiltration of globalist agendas in teacher-education programmes.

Abstract
The university is usually pictured as a free sphere, a place of disinterested inquiry, critical thinking and individual responsibility, insulated from politics and the market. Even its critics tend to treat whatever falls short of this ideal as an unfortunate aberration rather than an expression of the institution itself. This talk takes a more sober starting point. My claim is not that particular studies are biased or particular fields compromised, but that the modern university as a whole operates as a propaganda instrument: not an autonomous sphere but both an object and an instrument of governance, and the keystone of the technocratic expert society we inhabit.
Working from the Swedish case, I trace how the university was remade over the twentieth century from a site of humanist reflection into an apparatus of social-scientific governance. The decisive impulse came from American research philanthropy, whose large-scale investments built up an empirical social science designed to make society measurable and steerable: an instrument of social control. Once social questions were recast as objects of measurement, the social ceased to be a moral and political matter and became a technical one, and those who paid for the mapping also defined the problems to be mapped and the direction in which they were to be solved. A welfare state grew up around these structures that cared for people while quietly disarming their capacity to resist the concentration of power that built it. What made this possible was not any single discipline but the institution as a whole: nothing conceals an apparatus of governance better than the good name of free, truth-seeking science.
This is what makes the modern university corrupt in a structural rather than an anecdotal sense: it is not the quality of thought but the interests of its funders that decide which questions are asked and which answers gain authority. Today the expansion of steerability takes new forms: information-gathering intensified through digitalization and ever denser surveillance, with the university still serving as the developer that realizes it, as newly endowed research centres present new technologies as science and public benefit that everyone is expected to welcome.
This talk draws on my book Historien om det moderna universitetet. Från humanistisk reflektion till samhällsvetenskaplig styrning (Celanders, 2026).

Abstract
In 1988, the threat of anthropogenic climate change was declared as a common concern for mankind by the United Nations General Assembly. The same year, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded by WMO and UNEP to assess the science of human-induced climate change. The Cold War was about to be replaced by the “Warm War”.
This marked a remarkable paradigm shift in which researchers confirming this theory would henceforth be allocated enormous resources compared to researchers questioning the “scientific consensus” and highlighting natural climate variations. The former would be heralded as heroes whereas the latter would to a large degree be ostracized and branded as climate deniers funded by the oil industry. How did this happen?
My lecture outlines the roots of the anthropogenic climate change theory, its close connections to eugenics, the technocratic management of human and natural resources, and how climate change became anchored as a key concern for academic research in natural as well as social sciences. This refers in particular to how the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund and affiliated organizations methodically worked to influence the direction of academic research —through key institutions such as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California and the International Meteorological Institute (IMI) at the Stockholm University—since the 1950s, with the ultimate goal of establishing a world-wide digital climate mitigation system. As stated in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s 2005 Annual Review: “The warming of the climate is […] a global issue that touches every conceivable facet of human society. Therein lies our opportunity.” Climate change is ultimately about global social, political and economic control.

Abstract
Contrary to claims about “academic freedom,” Anglo-American academia has been deeply embedded within the national security state since World War II at least, when scientific knowledge was secretly harnessed by the military, e.g., in the Manhattan Project. After the war, 70% of research funding in the United States came from federal agencies, with most of the rest coming from foundations such as Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie.
The CIA exerted a powerful influence, as, for instance, when 44 US universities participated in MKULTRA research, or through the CIA’s covert control of social science research at leading universities to find more efficient ways of controlling human behaviour through “social engineering.” A new breed of “defence intellectuals” arose whose purpose was to serve power rather than apply any kind of critical thinking that might benefit society. They included war apologists, counterinsurgency experts, and specialists in psychological operations.
When the extent of these problems was revealed in 1967/68, there was an outcry, yet decades later the capture of academia remains evident in its refusal to apply critical thinking to deep structural events such as “9/11” and “Covid-19” and its cheerleader role for official narratives. This marks a significant failure in academia’s much-vaunted civic duty and gives the lie to the idea that academia speaks truth to power in any fundamental sense.

Many thanks to Stephen Kerr for inviting me to give a keynote presentation for the Mise Eire festival last week. It was a very peaceful, friendly, and uplifting event with not a single fascist in sight.
Thanks also to all the kind folk of Ireland who came to listen to me and to those who spoke to me afterwards. I really enjoyed getting to meet so many new people and to hear everything they had to say.
And thank you to the other speakers (Melissa Ciummei, Ivor Cummins, Simon Elmer, and Neil Oliver) for some really great talks. Plenty of food for thought, as well as intellectual and spiritual nourishment!
Below is the abstract for my talk, which was titled “Totalitarianism, War, and Resistance in the Post-Covid Era.”
Since 2020, it has become undeniable that an attempt is underway to manufacture a novel, biodigital form of totalitarianism on a global scale, the operating system for which is technocracy. The implications of this are historic, namely, the end of the nation-state and the rights of citizenship as we have known them since the French and American Revolutions, and their replacement with a global system of total control facilitated by digital technologies and AI. The ruling classes of the world are united in this project, which can only be achieved through world war: not the kind of war that looks anything like WWI or WWII, but rather a new kind of war – Omniwar – that is being stealthily waged against the people across all areas of human existence. As a globally interoperable all-digital financial system is being built; as ministries for digital transformation spring up in every country seeking to turn political decision-making over to AI; and as data centres for powering the AI control grid appear all over the United States, a technocratic future no longer seems like science fiction. Yet, as more and more people around the world begin to see through the psychological operations used to render them passive while the architecture of their oppression is invisibly scaffolded around them, resistance is mounting. In the final analysis, the attempt by a miniscule proportion of the world’s population to subjugate and enslave the rest of humanity is doomed to failure. The people will rise, and a new era of human freedom awaits those brave enough to put down the global technocratic coup.

Many thanks as ever to Flemming Blicher for this journey through my book, Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State. In Part 3, we addressed the post-1945 era and covered the following topics:
* The role of George Kennan in the development of the US national security state and why his reputation deserves to be reevaluated;
* what Hans Morgenthau in 1955 called the “dual state”;
* the CIA as “the base of a kind of dual power, an illegal, parallel government” that is “more a conspiracy against the USA itself than the USSR,” to quote one critic in 1974;
* the transnational nature of the deep state, the “Grand Area” concept, and NATO;
* Operation Gladio, its history, development, and role in foreshadowing the “War on Terror”;
* why the “Cold War” concept and attendant narratives need to be reappraised;
* Wall Street’s conjuring of an existential threat to the West that never existed;
* close ties between Wall Street and the Soviet Union from the beginning; and
* the Cold War as seen through the lens of transnational class relations
Part 4 will explore intelligence crime and the history of US foreign policy since 1945.

Thanks once again to Flemming Blicher for reaching out after having read my book, Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (2024).
Because there is so much to cover in the book, we resolved on doing a four-part interview series, of which this is the first part, focusing on the first two chapters.
Issues we discussed included:
* academic justification of the term “deep state”;
* how I came to write the book;
* the “asocial” concept in Nazi Germany;
* The concept of Gleichschaltung in 1930s Nazi Germany and again during Covid;
* Roosevelt’s New Deal and Wall Street interests sympathetic to fascism;
* Revolution from above and keeping the working class poor and exploitable';
* health surveillance in Nazi Germany and again today; and
* discontinuities between 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020
Hopefully Part 2 should follow in a week’s time.

Many thanks to Dennison Joyce for having me back on Through the Looking Glass on New York’s WIOX Radio. In this short interview we discussed:
* obstacles to understanding that we are facing a novel, globalised form of totalitarianism today;
* the nature of totalitarianism and the drive for a world government;
* US finance capital and National Socialism — the will to destroy liberal democracy is almost a century old;
* the US-Israeli war against Iran — a geopolitical conflict subordinate to the global class war;
* the migration problem and digital ID; crises manufactured to advance 2030 agendas;
* the de facto ongoing rollout of technocratic infrastructure; governments ignoring the will of the people;
* convenience as the lever by which to sell the new technologies to people until they become trapped by them;
* the weaponisation of guilt during Covid and getting the population to police itself;
* euthanasia and other parallels between 1930s Nazi Germany and the West since 2020;
* psychological warfare during Covid — premeditated and planned for years;
* the effectiveness of the protection myth: authoritarian measures are “for your safety”;
* means of bypassing conscious thought processes through applied behavioural psychology; and
* the Big Lie — a totalitarian control tactic going back to Mein Kampf, now behind “global threats.”

Many thanks to Per Shapiro for offering me this opportunity to reach a Swedish audience. We discussed a variety of topics, including:
* my background and decision to leave academia;
* the global class war that has been unfolding since 2020, with a technocratic world state as the war aim;
* the need to see geopolitical conflicts, including Iran, in the context of the global class war;
* the infiltration of the “alternative media” and the three camps of awareness model;
* the question of intentionality when it comes to Camp 2;
* the role of false dichotomies in Camp 2;
* the redundancy of terms such as “communism” and “socialism” and “fascism” when it comes to understanding the challenge of global technocracy;
* the implications of liberal democracy being gradually undermined and dismantled;
* the algorithmic suppression of view counts in Camp 3;
* the hard evidence provided by Dr. Judy Wood, pointing towards classified military technology;
* QAnon and psy-ops designed to foster inaction and minimise resistance;
* ad hominem attacks as a hallmark of Camp 2; the same propaganda techniques used in Camp 1 are also used in Camp 2;
* the verdict against Reiner Fuellmich, as well as other suspicious activities that Fuellmich was engaged in;
* Fuellmich’s Scientology links and possible links to US intelligence, with a potential mission to demoralise the opposition;
* the phoney “We’re all in it together” meme, effective in Camp 2 as in Camp 1;
* how to talk to people in Camp 1; and
* the need for each of us to do something to challenge the rollout of global technocracy.

Many thanks to Zahra Sethna for inviting me back onto the Collapse Life podcast to discuss the psychological dimensions of modern conflict and why understanding propaganda has become essential for anyone trying to make sense of the world.We explored:
* why I am not paying much attention to Iran at the moment;
* the three camps of awareness;
* loss of faith in institutions;
* how narrative warfare operates (e.g. use of the term “fringe”);
* how both mainstream media and alternative media environments can be manipulated;
* why confusion is a powerful tool of control (learning from Hannah Arendt);
* the dangers of “savior figures” in alternative media;
* Reiner Fuellmich; and
* why skepticism, humility, and evidence matter more than ever.
In an era where information overload and AI-generated slop blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, the challenge is learning how to think clearly again.
