240 - Bangkok - just visiting
Transit through Doha Qatar - all very smooth

🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇶🇦 🇹🇭 So this was a bit of a travel week. After one last weekend in Belfast, we travelled down to Dublin, over to Qatar and then out to Bangkok here in the East. We are still en route to home in Hong Kong so, like Nieuwpoort, Lisbon and Belfast we are just passing through. Even so we will be around Bangkok for another week, so if you are in town and want to meet up, just reach out!

Interviews of the week

You must be aware of the exceptional rain that hit Bangkok recently. Every time you see things like this, it should make you think. From my perspective, there are no coincidences and the more that you investigate incidents/situations like this, the more clear the truth becomes.

This week I listened to this fascinating interview of Max Bliss by James D. Max is a builder living in France, who has spent around two decades researching how governments and their agencies have long been engaged in Weather Manipulation for the purpose of population control and military conflict. There are hundreds of patents that describe this technology.

  • During the 2014 Berlin climate engineering conference, Bliss and others intervened to oppose and block the Berlin Declaration, arguing that such research ignores toxic environmental impacts. In her interview below, Sandi cites similar conference situations that have been used to hoodwink influential people into "endorsing" the immoral Empire Agenda.
  • Bliss cites many patents and scientific papers, such as the Welsbach patent and work by Bernard Eastlund, to argue that technology exists to ionize the atmosphere and manipulate weather patterns.
  • He supplies evidence that modern aviation engines, monitored by companies like Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and GE, contain systems that enable remote manipulation of exhaust plumes.
  • According to Bliss, the history of weather modification dates back decades, citing examples like the Soviet experiments in 1919, incidents in WW1 and WW2 and Operation Popeye in Vietnam.

James and Max view weather control as a central component of global agendas for centralized power and argue that collective awareness and pushback is the only way to resist these technological and societal controls.

Hrvoje interviews Sandi

In a very similar vein (albeit seemingly unrelated topics), you need to listen to this interview of Sandi Adams by Hrvoje. This is absorbing listening. For some time, I had doubts about Sandi's veracity due to her close association with GB News which is now clearly a disinformation source, having taken Empire funding (as they discuss and explain). She has now distanced herself from GB News and, like Hrvoje, is talking truth to those who are seeking it.

  • Sandi describes Agenda 21 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a technocratic roadmap for global governance, claiming they were designed to create a surveillance-based dictatorship.
  • The transition from Agenda 21 to the UN and WEF 2030 agenda was accelerated during the COVID-19 plandemic, which Sandi and Hrvoje both characterise as a pretext for the digitalisation of society, including biometrics, cash removal and digital identity systems.

They also discuss the concept of 15-minute cities and smart-city initiatives, highlighting developments in Oxford, Guadalajara, and Ukraine as models for restricting movement and increasing state control.

  • Digital identity frameworks, such as those implemented in Nigeria and planned for other nations, are criticized for their potential to facilitate the "unpersoning" of political dissidents.
  • Adams argues that UK farming is being intentionally dismantled through inheritance taxes and land repurposing for green energy, leading to food insecurity and the promotion of synthetic proteins.
  • Local government restructuring in the UK, involving the creation of powerful regional mayoralties, is presented as an effort to bypass national parliament and undermine democratic representation.

🛠️ Project Updates

The following are updates from some projects that I am following, supporting and collaborating with. What are you doing?

Pushing back on Android changes

F-Droid 2.0 is an open-source alternative app store that serves as a repository system for Android, prioritizing developer freedom without fees or restrictive policies.

Release 2.0 is a major update featuring a rebuilt interface using Kotlin Compose, significantly improving search functionality, parallel downloads and repository management.

F-Droid 2.0
F-Droid is an open-source alternative app store for Android — but also a repository system and toolset for distributing Android software, far friendlier to developers than Google Play. * Unlike Play Store publishing, F-Droid requires no registration fee, no terms agreement, no government ID, no signing-key evidence, no

Key benefits include access to unique tools like NewPipe and Aurora Store while maintaining better security than traditional stores. This release modernizes the platform to address Google's lockdown on side-loading, offering a robust, user-friendly ecosystem.

How interesting - a simpler alternative to KOReader

You should recall that I, like many, have largely abandoned Kindle as a reading platform, preferring to use Kobo which is significantly more open and less restrictive.

I did write at some length about how you likely would want to install KOReader on Kobo since this gives you a plethora of interesting and useful features that are lacking from the basic Kobo Reader. Good as KOReader is, it has a relatively poor UI and menu design - finding options and settings (for me at least) is always a hunt through multiple possible menu items.

It was with joy and happiness that I spotted this recent update from Nico. He seems to have single-handedly created an alternative reader app for Kobo that extends the existing Kobo Reader. The advantage of this approach is that it allows you to have one single library with all books (unlike KOReader that maintains a parallel one) - and it works directly with DRM-protected books.

Kobalt reader for Kobo
Nico demonstrates Kobalt, his custom reader app/mod for Kobo e-readers. The Problem: Kobo’s Built-in Reader The video opens with criticism of the stock Kobo reader app on firmware version 6, which he calls outright bad: * Font weight is broken — sliding the weight slider no longer gradually

I'll be looking out for this and look forward to giving it a go. This is the benefit of open platforms - they encourage developers like him to meaningfully improve the reading experience for everyone.

The Great Unravelling?

By now you ought to be able to see the connections. All of this has been long planned and the execution phase is now playing out.

I enjoyed this first one, not least because Guy gives a rather good explanation of how the United Kingdom came about from disparate countries and how it relates to various overlapping and intersecting territories. Listen and learn.

UK collapse seems imminent
The video (presented by “Guy” for the Finance Bureau) argues that the United Kingdom is held together by an economic bargain that is weakening, and that nationalist movements in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now coordinating in a way Westminster struggles to counter. Key events covered * Four political leaders

Click for notes and summary and to listen to the explanation

  • The United Kingdom is undergoing a structural breakdown as nationalist movements in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland coordinate against Westminster. Leaders John Swinney, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Michelle O'Neill, and Mary Lou McDonald signed a memorandum of understanding asserting that the time for the United Kingdom is concluding.
  • The 2016 Brexit vote acted as a catalyst, as Scotland and Northern Ireland were removed from the European Union against their will.
  • Economic reliance on Westminster is weakening, with Northern Ireland seeing increased trade integration with the Republic of Ireland, and Wales questioning the value of the union following industrial losses in Port Talbot.
  • Political landscapes have shifted significantly: Plaid Cymru now leads a minority government in Wales, the SNP maintains a strong majority in Scotland, and Sinn Féin holds the office of First Minister in Northern Ireland.

Interestingly this next clip independently corroborates Guy's take on the UK and extends the analysis into Europe with a focus on Germany.

UK breakup and Germany
A two-speaker discussion (interviewer and “Alexander”) covering a declaration by the UK’s devolved First Ministers and German politics. Part 1: The First Ministers’ independence declaration A meeting took place in Wales between the First Ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who signed a declaration calling for their

After all that, Guy is back to extend the above two analyses into what is also happening now in France. France "no longer functions" — it "produces nothing but meetings, subsidies and censure motions", leaving the street and the courts to settle what happens next. Since September 2024 France has had four governments, lost its double-A rating, and seen a former president imprisoned.

France too
The visible crisis: fuel shortages * Roughly one in six petrol stations in France has run out of some type of fuel (over one in four in some areas), with drivers relying on government price sites and crowdsourced shortage maps. * The trigger: TotalEnergies capped prices at €1.99/litre for petrol

TLDR: all of the above items are related and part of an orchestrated roll-out of technocratic and authoritarian controls. I'm pretty sure that you and even many around you begin to see and understand this now. For those who still struggle to see it, this next one from the Cognitive Dissidents should help:

Cognitive Dissidents discuss

Parallel Mike, Monica Perez, and Hrvoje discuss how AI doomerism narratives are leveraged to create financial bubbles, protect incumbent companies, and justify global AI governance. They also characterize the "network state" movement as a form of corporate feudalism that creates fortified elite enclaves, leaving the general population in a state of societal collapse.

Cognitive Dissidents - Sep 2026
Panellists: Parallel Mike (The PM Report, Substack), Monica Perez (The Monica Perez Show), and Hrvoje (Geopolitics & Empire) 1. The “AI Will Kill Us All” Narrative * Mike notes a massive recent uptick in AI doomerism — e.g. the podcast Diary of a CEO promoting a panel headlined “99.9% of humanity

Click for notes and summary and to listen to the discussion

  • Technocratic control is expanding through mandatory digital IDs and non-legislative regulatory changes, with real-world consequences like algorithmic errors causing wrongful arrests.
  • The Greenland agreement is political theatre that benefits international powers while disenfranchising indigenous people, fitting into a broader plan for an Atlantic Union.
  • The US and China certainly seem to be aligned in a system of corporate fascism, where globalist elites exploit both nations to maintain power while peddling narratives of multipolarity.
  • Beyond that, systemic health crises, including post-vaccination cardiovascular issues are obvious results of current state-managed agendas. Failures in critical infrastructure, such as air traffic control systems also look like deliberate actions to justify centralized AI-run command-and-control grids.

If it is in the news - it is a ruse. There are no coincidences.

🤔 Closing Thoughts

This week I am continuing the Gnostic theme that we discussed last week with a rather influential movie that you should be familiar with.

Truman Show - Gnostic perspective
The video argues that The Truman Show (1998) is not merely a satire of reality television, but an almost point-for-point retelling of Gnostic cosmology — a second-century religious system whose writings were mostly destroyed and only recovered in the 20th century, buried in the Egyptian desert. The presenter

TLDR: The film The Truman Show can be interpreted as a modern retelling of Gnostic cosmology, where the protagonist inhabits an artificial reality.

  • Christof acts as the demiurge, a creator figure who genuinely believes his manufactured world is a benevolent sanctuary protecting Truman from a dangerous reality.
  • Truman, whose name signifies the 'true man' or the authentic spark, embodies the Gnostic concept of a genuine being trapped within a false construct.
  • The film portrays the most effective prison as one built from internal fears, specifically Truman’s programmed terror of the water, which serves as the barrier to his liberation.

The ending reflects the Gnostic belief that the creator will use both fear and the allure of comfort to keep individuals from discovering the true nature of their existence.

Academically speaking

And I close out today with a real academic sharing his (and others') years of research into this topic. You can find and verify all this information yourself but you will likely enjoy that he has done the work for you and he presents it rather clearly.

What is Gnosticism
The video explores the Gnostics — an early Christian movement — drawing on the latest scholarship, especially David Brakke’s The Gnostics. It argues for a narrow definition of Gnosticism: a specific school of thought within early Christianity, identified chiefly with the Sethians. Key Points 1. Sources and the Nag Hammadi discovery
