This is a form of societal suicide. Nobody voted for this.

Would I get arrested for posting this in the UK? Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. Britain read it as an instruction manual. 62,000+ arrests for "communications offences" in five years (~34 a day). So I made a music video about it.

Dans 50 ans, les livres d'histoire diront qu'Elon Musk a gagné une guerre que personne ne savait qu'on était en train de perdre. Une guerre commencée il y a 100 ans, dans une cellule de prison italienne. En 1926, Mussolini fait arrêter un intellectuel sarde de 35 ans. Au procès, le procureur aurait dit : « Nous devons empêcher ce cerveau de fonctionner pendant vingt ans. » Il s'appelait Antonio Gramsci. Son cerveau n'a jamais cessé de fonctionner. En prison, il a rempli des milliers de pages qui sont devenues l'un des textes politiques les plus influents du XXe siècle. Je pense qu'on est en train de vivre le moment où sa théorie s'effondre. Laissez-moi vous expliquer. Gramsci se posait une question simple. Pourquoi la révolution communiste a-t-elle réussi en Russie mais échoué partout en Occident ? Sa réponse : en Occident, le pouvoir ne tient pas seulement par l'État, la police et l'armée. Il tient par la culture. Par ce que les gens trouvent normal, évident, « de bon sens ». Il appelle ça l'hégémonie culturelle. Donc, pour prendre le pouvoir, il ne faut pas d'abord prendre le palais. Il faut d'abord prendre les esprits. Les écoles. Les universités. Les journaux. Le théâtre. L'édition. Les tribunaux. C'est la « guerre de position » : une conquête lente, institution par institution. Quand la culture a basculé, la politique suit toute seule. Quarante ans plus tard, l'activiste allemand Rudi Dutschke en fera un slogan : la longue marche à travers les institutions. Pendant des décennies, on a vécu avec une énigme que personne n'arrivait vraiment à expliquer. Pourquoi presque tous les artistes sont-ils de gauche ? Les acteurs, les chanteurs, les profs, les journalistes, une bonne partie de la magistrature. Pourquoi un pays pouvait voter à droite élection après élection et voir quand même sa culture parler d'une seule voix ? On nous répondait : « c'est parce que les gens éduqués sont de gauche. » Je crois que la réponse est plus simple. Gramsci avait écrit la recette, et elle a été appliquée. Quand tu contrôles qui obtient la subvention, le poste, la bonne critique, le prix, l'invitation sur le plateau, tu contrôles ce qui devient « la culture ». La même énigme existait à l'échelle du monde. Pourquoi tant de pays en développement, notamment en Amérique latine, revotaient-ils encore et encore pour des gouvernements socialistes ou de gauche radicale ? Venezuela, Bolivie, Nicaragua, l'Argentine des Kirchner, la Colombie de Petro. L'économie s'effondrait, les cartels prospéraient, le chaos s'installait. Et pourtant le même vote revenait. Ma conviction : la pauvreté n'était pas un accident du système. C'était un électorat. Et autour, il y avait tout un écosystème d'ONG, de médias « indépendants » et de programmes de « société civile », financé en grande partie par l'argent occidental. Puis, début 2025, il s'est passé quelque chose que personne n'avait jamais osé faire. Elon et DOGE ont ouvert les livres de USAID. Une agence quasi intouchable depuis 1961, des dizaines de milliards de dollars par an. La grande majorité des programmes ont été coupés, et l'agence a été absorbée par le Département d'État. Le robinet a été fermé. Et regardez ce qui s'est passé depuis. Bolivie : le MAS perd le pouvoir après presque vingt ans. Équateur : Noboa réélu. Honduras : la droite reprend le pays. Chili : Kast élu. Argentine : Milei remporte largement les élections de mi-mandat. Et il y a deux jours, le Brésil. Jair Bolsonaro est inéligible, condamné à 27 ans de prison. La gauche pensait avoir refermé le chapitre. Lula, 80 ans, briguait un quatrième mandat face à un pays qu'on disait acquis. Dimanche, son fils Flávio est arrivé en tête du premier tour. Plus de 47 % contre près de 45 % pour Lula. Lula lui-même a reconnu un résultat « inattendu ». Le plus grand pays d'Amérique latine est à un second tour de basculer. Le plus grand virage à droite du continent depuis des décennies. Coïncidence ? Je ne crois pas. Quand le financement disparaît, le récit perd ses haut-parleurs. Il reste un dernier vrai bastion. L'Europe. Bruxelles finance ses propres réseaux d'ONG, avec une opacité que même la Cour des comptes européenne a pointée. Les grandes fondations comme l'Open Society de Soros. Les entités supranationales qui produisent de la norme sans jamais passer devant un électeur. C'est la dernière forteresse de l'hégémonie culturelle. Et elle commence à se fissurer. Je suis convaincu que tout ça va s'effondrer, et plus vite qu'on ne le pense. Gramsci avait raison sur un point essentiel : la culture précède la politique. Mais il avait oublié que ça marche dans les deux sens. Quand une culture artificielle perd ses perfusions, ce qu'il y a de vrai en dessous remonte à la surface. Ce qui vient après, je crois que c'est une renaissance. Une culture qui recommence à aimer la beauté, l'ambition, la science, la civilisation qui l'a fait naître. Et dans les livres d'histoire, on se souviendra que tout a commencé quand un homme a décidé de regarder les comptes. Il fallait quelqu'un d'assez riche pour ne dépendre de personne, d'assez fou pour s'y attaquer et d'assez libre pour encaisser la haine qui allait suivre. Merci Elon.

If you're curious why the media is spreading so much false information about the riots, consider: — The French Culture Ministry paid €204.7 million in direct aid to the news media in 2023, of which Le Monde received €8.3 million, L’Humanité €6.5 million and Libération €6.3 million — The @afpfr runs "fact-checks" in 26 languages, received €120 million from the French state in 2025, against €200.3 million in commercial revenue. @AFP is French government propaganda and disinformation — European governments are committed through a UN agreement to spread pro-mass migration propaganda by funding it directly. The “migration compact,” which 152 governments voted for in the UN General Assembly in 2018, commits them to “stopping allocation of public funding... to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants," which is broadly interpreted to cover criticism of mass migration policies — To maintain control over news media, the European Commission funds a network of 15 fact-checking hubs with tens of millions of euros, and its rules require platforms to give priority to notices from “trusted flaggers.” — Governments fund think tanks to produce reports, including ones demanding censorship, that the news media cover sympathetically and editorialize in support of. — The @ISDglobal in London — which demands censorship of people it disagrees with on climate change, gender, and migration, refuses to speak with journalists, and lists a phony address — lists among its funders the British Foreign Office, the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, the German Foreign Office and the European Commission, along with Google and Microsoft. isdglobal.org/partnerships-a… — Public reported in 2024 that ISD and the German fact-checker Correctiv, both government-funded, had spread false claims about German farmers and opposition politicians.

The best thing about Tottenham (where I grew up) being exposed to a wide audience as welfare ground zero is that it helps a case I often make on this platform. I didn’t need the data to tell me that almost 30K households in David Lammy’s constituency - the home of rioting, crime, social decay, and disturbing demographics - were claiming UC or the benefits that came before it, because the people in a place like Tottenham (which has the largest welfare bill of any constituency, at £624.9 million) will *just tell you*. We imagine topics like personal finances (and especially benefits) to be taboo and something that, thanks to good old British reservedness, people would never dare openly discuss. But the people in a place like Tottenham are not British. They do not share our sensibilities. The Somalis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Turks, Kurds, Albanians and others in Tottenham will straight up tell you about the various benefits they’re claiming. They’ll even tell you about their dodgy DLA/PIP claims and the various ways in which they scam the system. They’ll tell you about their Motability car and the fraudulent way they obtained it. They’ll openly tell you about their “friend from my village” who works at the council’s housing department and who they bunged £10K cash to get a nicer social housing property with more bedrooms and a garden. The fraud is out in the open and totally normalised. Yet when I describe this phenomenon to faux leftist white middle-class people, they instantly dismiss it as the stuff of far-right conspiracies theories. I understand why they instinctively do so, because this is behaviour that is totally alien to us British people (with some exceptions for the underclass - but even they’re more savvy and secretive than the Somalis et al when it comes to their benefit claims). The reason middle-class Sensibles™ can comfortably dismiss what I am describing, is because they do not live among the “diversity” the claim to love. They do not have socially housed Somalian neighbours who openly describe how they got three of their kids diagnosed with ADHD by using a online Conners Rating Scale and harassing their GP for a CAMHS referral, and how they obtained PIP for their “trauma” from the war back home, and their Motability car. But, to those dismissive people, I say respectfully: listen to those of us who know what we are talking about and have direct “lived experience” of this stuff. The people we have imported over the last thirty or so years are not like us and never will be. They do not share our sensibilities. If I tell you about the kids in my school discussing the new cars their mums were driving and how they “got it free from like the government and dat”, or Turkish neighbours gloating that they’ve managed to secure DLA for young Hasan, Ali and Mehmet (a hat-trick!), I really am not making it up. I’m glad everyone is discussing the scale of benefit claims in places like Tottenham, Edmonton, Hackney, and elsewhere. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Brendan O'Neill sums it up

Agreed.

A Negligent Government, Warned and Unmoved Iran has told Britain, in its own words, that it treats the Channel as a weapon. Iranian officials said their smuggling routes are "owned" in part by the IRGC and are "more useful" to Tehran than a missile, because they can move "revolutionary people" into London who simply wait to be told what to do. Tehran's own officials said this, on the record, describing the method themselves. Sir Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, has said his agency has foiled more than twenty potentially lethal Iran-backed plots on British soil. Lord Walney's report found a network of UK charities spreading Khomeinist ideology, several in receipt of Gift Aid, with governance links to Iranian state institutions. The IRGC's Islamic Radio and Television Union operates openly from Manchester and Wembley, broadcasting praise for Hamas and Hezbollah commanders as martyrs. In September, the IRGC addressed an open letter not to the American public generally but specifically to "scholars, students, and members of the media", naming the audience it has judged most useful to its message. Every detail here is published record from the last twelve months, not speculation. Then came RAF Fairford. Five British men were arrested near the base used by US bombers in operations against Iran, then bailed. A sixth man, a UK-Iranian dual national, was arrested in Westminster on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and has also been bailed. Andy Burnham told the BBC there were "strong indications" Iran was involved. Benjamin Netanyahu has since claimed Israel handed British authorities intelligence warning of an "Iranian-sponsored attack", only for Britain to announce sanctions on Israeli settlement trade the following day. Whatever the truth of that sequence, a Prime Minister has publicly linked a hostile state to an attempted attack on a British airbase, and the men investigated over it are walking free on bail. This is the government that continues to welcome boats carrying record numbers of unvetted arrivals, dispersing them across the country, no verification against watchlists and no way of ruling out exactly the embedding Iran itself has described. A government cannot claim ignorance of a threat it has proscribed. It designated the IRGC under state-threat powers in July. It has read Walney's report. It has heard its own intelligence chief's warnings. And it continues operating a system Jonathan Hall KC has already found releases people before checks are complete. Call it what it is. A government told exactly what the threat looks like and still failing to close the gap it moves through is negligence. Continuing to process record Channel numbers through a system its own reviewer says cannot reliably verify who is arriving is recklessness. And when ministers call for calm, dismiss the question as alarmist, or sanction the very ally offering intelligence on the threat, the word edging into view is complicity, not with Tehran's aims, but with the conditions that let Tehran's method keep working. Russia weaponises migration on NATO's eastern border, and Western governments say so plainly. Iran has told Britain, through its own officials, that it does the same across the Channel. The difference is that nobody in Warsaw or Vilnius pretends not to have heard it. Britain has heard it from Tehran directly, confirmed it through its own intelligence service, and chosen to keep the door exactly as open as before. Nobody in government can say they were not warned. The warnings came from Iran's own mouth. Prime Minister, Andy Burnham and Mojtaba Khamenei, the Iranian Supreme Leader. "Iran has told Britain, in its own words, that it treats the Channel as a weapon."

You don’t go on holiday to Pakistan because it’s a shithole. You don’t go on holiday to Afghanistan, because it’s also a shithole. Why? Both countries have some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. The mountains, the lakes and the deserts would all be at the top of any travel agent’s recommendation usually. But they’re shitholes that nobody wants to go to and the reason is the people. The people make a country. The people are what makes a country wonderful or terrible and millions of the people from those countries are getting flown and shipped into Britain. Will they make Britain great? Nope; they’ll make it a shithole.

Les conditions inhumaines du lycée Nelson-Mandela, à Nantes. Il fallait le voir pour le croire. Verrière, bois clair, nef de 26 000 m², énergie positive. Internat de 166 lits, chambres avec sanitaires, salles de travail, patio. Deux gymnases et un mur d’escalade de 24 voies. Sections internationales, BTS, prépa. Facture d’origine : 52 à 64 millions d’euros, il y a douze ans. Le genre d’établissement qui ferait pâlir 95 pourcents des lycées français. Et c’est le lycée qu’on brûle, hall et verrière, au nom du manque de moyens. Le Site est fermé jusqu’à la Toussaint, cours à distance, remise en état chiffrée en millions. Les conditions étaient si inhumaines qu’il a fallu y mettre le feu pour les rendre visibles. Mais de qui se moque-t-on ?

Demoralized media here, trying to convince the public that they are not at war, that nobody is trying to abolish their civilization, and that they only want “equality.” It is a classic motte-and-bailey. The trick works because “equality” can mean two very different things while sounding like the same claim. To a normie, equality means equal rights, fair treatment, and protection from discrimination. That’s the safe, non-activist meaning. It asks for changes within the existing order without challenging the order itself. In the revolutionary grammar, “equality” means activism. It is a mandate to find inequality, identify the structures said to produce it, and act against them. Unequal outcomes, inherited institutions, traditional roles, social hierarchies, cultural norms, and other distinctions become evidence that domination still exists. Carried to its endpoint, the project is to sublate Western civilization itself: dismantle its inherited forms while preserving and reappropriating the achievements worth carrying into a higher social order. Equality becomes the standard by which the existing order is judged, dissolved, and rebuilt. Thats why equality can function as a solvent. The argument begins with an obvious injustice most people agree should be corrected, then moves outward. First a rule is unequal, then an institution, then the surrounding culture, and eventually the civilization that produced them becomes the deeper problem. The motte-and-bailey works by sliding between those meanings. When challenged, it retreats to the safe version: we only mean equal treatment, equal rights, basic fairness. Who could object to that? Once the challenge passes, the broader meaning returns, and “equality” again becomes a reason to dismantle inherited distinctions and institutions. So the public hears equality as a promise to make the existing order fairer. The revolutionary can use the same word as a mandate to put the existing order itself on trial. That double meaning is what makes the deception work. The moderate meaning reassures the public that nothing fundamental is happening. The radical meaning allows a much more fundamental transformation to proceed under the same word.

As with so many of the actions of this appalling government, this stinks to high hell.

New: Net migration accounted for 96.7% of the United Kingdom's population growth in 2025.

What. The. Fuck?

There is so much similar work to be done with old cyphers and ancient written language. Can't wait to see what is revealed.

I used GPT-6 Astra to break an unsolved cipher to one of Napoleon's generals that had gone unread for 217 years. What makes this impressive isn't actually the codebreaking, but that Astra completed the entire multi-modal workflow in ~6 hours from a single image and goal. 1/6🧵

🚨🚨 Social media posts criticising Government policy are being monitored and logged by officials. Metro has obtained a list of 77 critical posts recorded by the Standards and Compliance Unit (StaCU), which oversees the Government’s Prevent programme. Established in 2024, StaCU is an “opaque” body set up to handle complaints about Prevent made on X and Reddit. But it appears officials are also scouring the internet for criticism of the programme. The posts include comments from ordinary people, many of whom would never expect Government officials to be monitoring their social media. A significant number were flagged for describing Prevent as “biased”. One X user made the list after calling its training “complete bullshit”. How can Britain claim to be a liberal democracy when officials monitor and log posts criticising Government policies and programmes? More than 62,000 people have been arrested for speech-related offences in the past five years, including over social media posts. Every day, Britain feels more like George Orwell’s 1984. And this may be just the beginning. Andy Burnham’s National Centre for Information Defence has been billed as a tool to counter information warfare from Russia. But he has also said it should address “counter-narratives” about Britain. That raises serious concerns about whether it could be used to target criticism of Government policy and its handling of issues such as mass, uncontrolled migration. As with so many secretive monitoring bodies, transparency is lacking. This revelation raises further questions about free speech, the right to protest and the right to criticise the Government. This is deeply chilling. Read more below 👇

What the hell is going on?
