Interview with Paul Hellier, July 22, 2025, Part 2

Bodies on a network; AI & the information liquidation model; online social containment; the battle for the brain; parallel societies; class consciousness; the role of conscience; the war on children

Many thanks to Paul Hellier of Fair Food Forager, for having me back on his podcast. In this second part of the conversation, we discussed:

  • network-centric warfare and human bodies as nodes on a network;

  • AI and a society of maximum efficiency vs. a free society;

  • the IBM and the Holocaust, Operation Phoenix, the information liquidation model, and social media;

  • Palantir, the CIA, and the privatization of Total Information Awareness;

  • the transformation of Facebook and YouTube from relatively free platforms to censorship machines;

  • information warfare driving people from one online pen to the next (social media as a social containment mechanism);

  • using digital technologies (including digital currencies) to “switch people off”;

  • meta glasses and the complete erosion of privacy;

  • the battle for the brain — how advanced are the relevant technologies?;

  • neurological control one person at a time?;

  • Neuralink — a psy-op?;

  • the removal of ethical frameworks in times of war and experimenting on entire populations;

  • from “no pixie dust” to real technologies, no longer sci-fi;

  • NASA’s “IT/Bio/Nano era”;

  • the critical inflection point that is being reached as digital currencies, AI.gov, the digital state, etc. are all being rolled out;

  • why I do not see parallel societies as a durable solution;

  • the importance of mass non-compliance;

  • a century of propaganda and psy-ops to impede the development of class consciousness;

  • the need for a positive vision to galvanize resistance;

  • goodness, truth, beauty, and the role of conscience;

  • the need to move from conspiratainment to action;

  • the war on children; and

  • reasons for optimism.
