The Silicon Prophets: How Big Tech is Remaking Global Religion With AI and Surveillance
Fred Gransville
Abstract: In a time when algorithms determine whom we wed, what we believe, and when we die, Big Tech has evolved from a purveyor of conveniences to a priesthood of prophetic gods. This essay delves into corporate technocrats' insidious but ubiquitous co-optation of religious frameworks, whose algorithmic creations now act as digital oracles. Faith, once spoken in stained glass cathedrals and prayers over the desert now arrives piped through cloud servers and app beeps. This heresy is the commodification of the soul—produced, sold, and surveilled.
I. When Silicon Becomes Sacrament
In the beginning, the Word was coded into machine code, computed by neural networks, and spread by cloud evangelists who do not wear robes but sweatshirts bearing the names of trillion-dollar conglomerates. The towering cathedrals of our time are not made of stone and stained glass but of fiber optics, machine learning modules, and biometric surveillance grids. Apple Park, Google's Themis-like headquarters, Meta's virtual retreats—all are temples in this new comitology of worship.
Synthetic Wombs and the Gospel of Genderless Control
Fred Gransville
Explore the rise of artificial wombs, CRISPR-engineered babies, and the push toward genderless reproduction. Who profits? Who loses? A deep dive into technocratic control, erasure of motherhood, and the future of human birth.
"The future of birth is sterile, algorithmic, and motherless—or so the engineers insist."
I. The Myth of Reproductive Liberation
It begins not with the wail of a baby but with a server boot. Somewhere in a lab owned by a defense contractor or a hedge fund's charitable front, artificial wombs buzz in the background, monitored by biometric dashboards more advanced than a fighter jet cockpit. The birth canal has been replaced by a fiber-optic cable. In this "new dawn of life," the maternal has been replaced by machine code.
This isn't science fiction fantasy. This is supported, patented, and in prototype. The slick pamphlet—ordered on retainer no doubt by an ad agency from Silicon Valley—isn't "reproductive liberation." What it's selling is sterilization. Sterilized not only of pain and danger, but of womanhood.
The Bell Tolls for All White Gentile Ethnicities
Paul Craig Roberts
The Vice President and Secretary of State of the United States have called attention to the tyrannical behavior of the current German government, a corrupt anti-democratic government, controlled by Israel, that is holding on to power by designating its rival, AfD, the rapidly growing second largest party as “extremist.” Recent polls indicate that the AfD has pulled even and perhaps a bit ahead of the government that is trying to suppress it.
By applying the “extremist” label to its rival, the government gives itself the power to use its spy agencies to keep the AfD under surveillance. This permits the current corrupt government to know in advance the AfD’s electoral plans while demonizing the AfD as so extreme that it must remain under surveillance.
Another Graduating Class?
By Mark Aurelius
Recently I wrote an essay advocating for colleges and high schools across the country to engage in announced hunger strike protests against the deliberate policy of starvation against Palestinians in Gaza and received little to no response.
Now after realizing some peoples and places have already tried the hunger fast approach to little effect they don’t seem thrilled about the idea. For example. Microsoft MSM reported “Princeton University students end anti-Israel hunger strike 'due to health concerns'
The Fourth Estate: From Watchdog to Willing Servant
Chris Spencer
Once honored as democracy’s last line of defense, the mainstream press now operates as palace scribes to technocrats, bankers, and warlords. The watchdog has not only been leashed—it’s been trained to bark on command. Worse, it now bites those who refuse the narrative rather than those who manipulate it. Below are the media's high priests and their worst modern heresies.
CNN: From Outrage to Obedience
Once a titan of breaking news, CNN today functions as a dopamine drip of partisan panic and contrived emergencies.
China's Strategic Hug of Israel: A New Cold War, and the Geopolitics of a "Great Old Friend"
Robert David
Abstract: China is tiptoeing on a skinny line between global diplomacy and strategic duplicity. In its high-tech and often enigmatic handling of Israel, China has been unmasked as a crypto-Zionist force—quietly promoting Tel Aviv's militarized and technocratic agenda, not for ideological sympathy, but as a clever wedge against the West. Israel burns the candle at both ends, with China acting as apologist/sycophant to Gaza/West Bank Genocide
This article contends that Beijing's proximity to Israel serves as an asymmetrical counterweight to NATO and America, through surveillance technology, AI, and infrastructure as instruments of strategic intelligence and political destabilization. Far from a cliche, this thesis explores Sino-Israeli collaboration within the context of geotechnology, economic penetration, and silent complicity in atrocities—from Gaza to virtual space. This bargain is an account of China's welcoming, if covert, arms open wide to Israel as sword and shield in a hidden techno-political surrogate war.
Pope Francis: A humble advocate for sharing the world's resources’
Adam Parsons
Like millions of other people, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis, one of the most vocal and humble advocates for sharing the world’s resources.
Since assuming the throne of St Peter in 2013, the Pope championed many causes that are dear to progressive activists—from agroecology to post-growth economics, fossil fuel divestment, arms trade regulation and global monetary reform.
But at the heart of his advocacy was a focus on ending inequality both globally and on a national basis, repeatedly calling upon governments to to the poor in a new spirit of generosity.
CYBER-ELDERS OF ZION: TECHNO-ZIONISM AND THE GLOBAL ALGORITHMIC COVENANT
By Fred Gransville
The Silicon Wailing Wall: Unit 8200's Algorithmic Diaspora
At the beginning was the signal, and the signal was harvested. From the arid expanses of the Negev Desert emerged a new priesthood—not Levite, but coder, not parchment scribes, but architects of algorithms. Unit 8200 was the signal intelligence elite of Israel, regularly compared to the NSA but with an energy and devotion unique to it.
Between 2010 and 2020, an intriguing pattern had emerged: Most of Israeli cybersecurity startups were founded by Mossad Unit 8200 graduates (these Mossad Agents have access to your biometrics, your menstrual cycles and your sexual proclivities). These were not coincidences but the outcome of deliberate talent nurturing. Younger recruits, straight out of high school, were subjected to rigorous training in cyber warfare, data analysis, and tech innovation. Within a few years, they transformed from novices to experts who could establish businesses that would shape the tech world.
Why the Bio-Surveillance State Needs Feminism to Survive
By Chris Spencer
I. The Pink Face of the Machine
Let us be unequivocal: this is not your grandmother’s feminism. This is not the feminism of burning corsets, union hall speeches, or back-alley pamphleteering. It is not the grit-flecked feminism of hunger marches or the impassioned cries of textile workers demanding bread and roses. This is a feminism reconstituted in glass boardrooms, programmed into software updates, disseminated via Instagram reels, and keynote-slid across World Economic Forum panels. It is a soft mask juxtaposed upon Facial Recognition Panopticonism.
What does this “feminism” empower, if not women?
Blue Zones and Longevity – Lessons from the World’s Healthiest Centenarians
Tracy Turner
Discover the 5 proven longevity secrets from the world's healthiest elders - from immune-boosting diets to stress-reducing rituals that add years to your life. Dedicated to the late Angel Kazuko Nishinaka of Los Angeles.
Caveat: This article explores lifestyle patterns in Blue Zones but is not medical advice. Always consult a healthcare provider before making significant changes to your health regimen.
I. Introduction
What if the key to a long, vibrant life was neither locked in genetics nor hidden in pharmaceutical patents, but already on your plate, in your community, and embedded in how you move through the day?
The term “Blue Zones” refers to five geographically distinct regions with an exceptional prevalence of centenarians—individuals who live to or beyond the age of 100. These populations not only live longer than average, but also experience what might be termed “compressed morbidity”—remaining mentally and physically active until the very final chapter of life.
