Interview with Alex Newman, July 23, 2025

Thank you to Alex Newman for inviting me back onto his show for The New American. There was a hard stop of 28 minutes and 30 seconds, so I had to keep my answers pithy and concise. We discussed:* the defining features of the Omniwar;* some examples of the domains across which the Omniwar is being waged; * total social control as the aim of the Omniwar; * the fundamentals of technocracy and the “scientific management of society”;* why technocracy is antithetical to freedom and democracy; * who are “they”?;* AI, which is coming down the tracks fast; * why the war for technocracy is not (at least not in the first instance) about depopulation; * principles of resistance in the Omniwar and the importance of challenging the technologies being used to hook us up to the technocratic control grid, not least “smart” phones; * reasons for optimism: we are more powerful than we think, our numbers are constantly growing, and technocratic agendas are becoming ever more visible to ever more people; * why the technologies being used for totalitarian control purposes should be expropriated and placed in service of humanity; * unresolved theoretical debates between Marxism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc. This is a public episode.
