236 - Back at the beach
🇧🇪 We had a great weekend in Antwerp, meeting up with friends and family. We are now back at the Belgian coast for a few days - so if you missed us in A-Town you can still catch up with us here - just reach out and let me know.
We are staying in a rather nice apartment here. It is in a prime location and everything in it is new and excellent quality. However, it is managed by one of those faceless corporations of the Empire Beast System that has consolidated ownership in the area and this allows them to impose their mindless petty ESG rules and checklists. Likely as a result, there are a few disappointing omissions (eg washing machine, iron & ironing board and freezer) from what you would expect in an apartment like this - not to mention the nonsense additions - like CO2 sensors in each room!
We had lots to do here - among other things we are spending time with V's mum before we continue on our travels. We also got another trip to Oostende, this time to get me a new suitcase. The one that I have used for the last 10 years or so is the one that I got when I started my SAP Deployment consulting. At that time I was travelling every week to different sites all over Asia to do the "fit-gap analysis" and all the other steps that needed to be done. That trusty suitcase finally expired on Antwerp Station platform when one of the 4 wheels came off! I am pleased with the new one - hope it lasts for the next ten years!
Interview of the week
Hrvoje is back after a few weeks' break. I was intrigued by the title of this interview so I listened and dug in - this is highly recommended - also Alan's related website.
In this discussion, Alan argues that modern society is shifting into a form of Neo-Technofeudalism (a modern version of feudalism, where "elites" (aka parasites) consolidate power and wealth through technological control). The middle class is being dismantled, while leaders pursue goals like immortality and total surveillance.
A major focus of the talk is the MindWar Doctrine (a 1980 military strategy by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely), which proposed that conventional war is obsolete and that a country’s own population is the primary target for psychological and digital manipulation. This was a logical consequence and follow-up from the Report from Iron Mountain, some 15 years earlier. They analyze how algorithmic social media acts as a sorting mechanism, often pacifying the public with fake rebellions or controlled opposition—a tactic they compare to the Soviet-era Operation Trust—to prevent people from realizing how power is actually concentrated. With hindsight, you might well have recognized many of these yourself by now - they are happening all around you today too!

Alan concludes that consciousness is a form of currency and that while he would prefer to be wrong, his research into eugenics, secret government operations, and the origins of technology suggests that the public must look past the masks of political division to understand how a globalized technocratic system is being built.
There are some interesting dynamics on their discussion of Promethean vs Abrahamic viewpoints:
- Promethean stance: A technocratic, transhumanist worldview rooted in Theosophy that seeks to transcend human limits through technology while preserving "elite" supremacy.
- Abrahamic stance: A faith-driven, tradition-bound worldview of perpetual proxy wars over unprovable religious claims, used for millennia as a pretext for geopolitical control. [Obviously this was a Hot Button for Hrvoje!]
These two worldviews are not genuinely opposed - they are "the exact same thing — they're a power structure."
The apparent conflict between the techno-futurist Promethean camp and the tradition-bound Abrahamic camp is itself part of a managed dialectic — a deliberate framing that gives people the illusion of choosing sides while both sides ultimately serve the same concentration of power.
As one who grew up in Belfast in the 1970s through "The Troubles" I know for sure that fighting and war is never the right answer - recall our discussion back in 07 - Time to Wake Up and 08 - How fed up are you?
I think that, by now, most of you can see this is the same as Conservatives vs Democrats/Labour or Left vs Right, Yellow shirts vs Red Shirts and all the other mindless conflicts. You need to Opt Out of the nonsense and focus on what is important.

We have discussed this before - recall Habit number four and how habits five and six show you how to put this into action.

Nieuwpoort and Antwerp in recent days
🛠️ Project Updates
The following are updates from some projects that I am following, supporting and collaborating with. These are all part of the Parallel Systems that we need to build and use. What are you doing?
GrapheneOS - just do it!
In recent weeks, more and more people have been telling me how they have woken up the the increasing restrictions and relentless flood of advertising/mind-control that is being pushed through traditional mobile phones. I have been helping quite a few people to make the shift to GrapheneOS on Pixel - so here are a few guides for those who want to join in.
First up, you will need a Pixel phone. These are best, and readily, available refurbished and you may even find them available new and unused still. You can pick them up for ÂŁ150-200 quite easily - compare this with the cost of a new phone and it is interesting on these grounds alone.
Having got the phone you now want to delete the Android Operating system (what joy and happiness) and install the much better, secure and private alternative that is GrapheneOS. The process is straightforward - you can easily do this yourself in about 20 minutes. Follow the step by step guide below.

A first feature to check out is the ability to have Alternative Profiles. These are like separate phones that run on the same physical device. You might have your profile, one for work, one for kids and one for apps that require Google Play (Beast) Services, such as banking apps. Data in each profile is completely separate from each of the others.
Private Space
Beyond that there is yet one more feature that everyone should know about. Once you start using it you will use it more and more for things that you want to do privately and securely. Within each Profile you can activate a Private Space - this is similar in many ways to a separate Profile but being within one profile it has some handy integration that make it more useful - eg optional Clipboard sharing.

Unstoppable - newly discovered, long available
Recently I discovered Ibek who is the founder behind the Unstoppable Wallet. This is yet another tool that you likely do want to be aware of. In this interview by Doug, Ibek explains the philosophy behind the wallet and its implementation.
It is entirely open source and they monetise through various channels including related consulting and offering genuinely useful optional features.

You don't hate Government enough...
When looking at the teenagers and school-children around you it is easy to snap to the conclusion that Technology and Social Media are to blame. As Dagogo explains the deeper, and likely root, cause of the current decline stems from Government Policy - especially in USA, UK and Australia but also rather endemic in "The West". As counter-examples he cites Singapore, Hong Kong and SE Asia where Technology is equally, if not more, abundant and Critical Thinking ability remains a widespread and important skill.

If you have read "Anatomy of the State" by Murray Rothbard, you will already be aware of all of this and ahead of the game! If not, read it here below:

Big Tech is also complicit
Your initial reaction on Dagogo's article is not wrong, however. You might well be shocked by how immoral, unethical and often illegal the actions of Big Tech have been in recent years. Needless to say they continue to exploit their connection with the Empire to give the impression of being controlled or constrained while digging an exit that entrenches them fully.

An interesting parallel is that of the 1998 Big Tobacco Moment where much was made of how Big Tobacco was being punished by the $400 billion settlement. In reality the money means nothing to them (the Empire just creates more, devaluing everyone's savings) and this simply legalised what they do, while convincing people to the contrary.
What to expect next
I do enjoy Dan's monthly check back on the last month and expectations for the month to come. He does these factually and objectively and cites sources and historical precedent for all claims and assertions that he makes. Up to you what you make of them - let's check back in October.

Most people that I speak to do not expect the 25th anniversary of 9/11 to pass off without some sort of Empire-orchestrated false flag event - so be aware. ICYMI - so many people were already awake to this last year and needed to be distracted that The Empire put on the Charlie Kirk Show (10 Sep 2025). Now, do you see it?
🤔 Closing Thoughts
I really enjoyed the discussion in the third meeting of James F and Robert Frederick. It was prompted by something of a spat on twitter (X) and that discussion is fun! They then go on to explore Robert's theories that Francis Bacon was the true author of William Shakespeare's works and a primary architect of modern Freemasonry and science.
Robert claims Francis Bacon was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley and characterizes Elizabethan England as a sophisticated surveillance state where theatre was employed as propaganda to build national identity, legitimize the Tudor dynasty, and support imperial expansion.

- He offers an esoteric reading of Romeo and Juliet, interpreting it not as a romance but as a ritualistic exploration of lust, death, and alchemy facilitated by occult figures like Friar Laurence.
- They discuss how historical and contemporary "elites" follow a different moral code, potentially involving Gnosticism, antinomianism, and secret initiation rituals.
- Robert argues that Francis Bacon synthesized existing traditions into a portable, initiatory Freemasonry designed to build loyal professional networks across the British Empire. This led to a three-part system consisting of the Shakespeare corpus, Freemasonry, and modern scientism to shape public consciousness and institutional authority.
- They conclude with speculation that the Gunpowder Plot was a false-flag operation and link the structure of historical intelligence networks to modern concerns regarding climate science, peer review, and public health policies.
