Interview with James Ausman and Russell Blaylock, October 24, 2025 - Part 1

Many thanks to James Ausman and Russell Blaylock for inviting back onto the SNI Digital podcast. I come in at the 15:41 mark of this first part of the interview. We discussed: * the macro-historical transformation now underway;* technocracy, it origins, and its development via “smart” technologies;* the technocratic idea of a unified ledger, now being realised by the Bank for International Settlements and a globally “interoperable” digital financial system;* the nature and character of the Omniwar; * the rise of the “digital state” in 2025, with the Ukrainian digital state being held up by the Global Government Technology Centre as the model for emulation;* the digital ID controversy in the UK;* the tyranny of AI in a technocratic system;* the use of deception to dupe the public into accepting the transition to all-digital;* the “Agentic State” and removing human decision making from politics (aka dictatorship by algorithm);* the weaponisation of digital technologies against the public;* Ukraine, Amazon Web Services/Microsoft/Google, and securing the State digitally; * the theft of healthcare data and the implications of its centralisation in the context of Nazi healthcare; * Palestine as the testing ground for AI-powered weaponry - what is happening in Palestine will come for us all if the global technocratic coup is not put down; * the information- liqudation model, network-centric warfare, and AI-powered warfare; * the purging of dissidents in a technocratic state;* the “Covid-19” operation and why so many people see the danger of the digital state today;* the historical power of propaganda in the United States but also its decreasing power since around 2016 — hence rising levels of censorship;* the need for the public to become more propaganda-savvy;* the desperation of the transnational ruling class in a moment of historical precarity;* the addictive nature of “smart” phones — arguably the most potent digital weapon of all;* Grok’s sexualised new AI assistant, Ani;* AI psychosis; and* the fact that AI lies.
