<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> There is an epidemic in this country, and no, it&#8217;s not obesity or heart disease. It&#8217;s mass surveillance of American citizens happening in real time, all under the guise of safety. And one of the ways this is spreading across the United States at a rapid pace is through cameras mounted on just about every street corner, called &#8220;flocking cameras&#8221; or &#8220;flock cameras.&#8221; Where do they come from? Who&#8217;s behind them? Why are Americans who don&#8217;t want them being labeled terrorists?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Programmable Money and the Automated Third Lock</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">“What distributed ledger technology … could make possible is both stablecoin and digital token transactions that can be blocked by a built-in third lock that does not involve a financial intermediary. People or transactions could be blocked and assets confiscated at scale by a completely centralized function.”</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">~ Catherine Austin Fitts</p>
</blockquote>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Briefing for State Leaders: Scenario Planning</h3>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">July 17, 2026</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>~ Publishes on July 17, 2026 at 6:00PM CST ~</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens who are working to preserve American freedoms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The July briefing, “Scenario Planning: Programmable Money and the Automated Third Lock,” will take place on&nbsp;<strong>Thursday, July 9</strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>2:00-4:00 PM Eastern</strong>. Former Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich will be joining us for the discussion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The briefing will:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Begin with a brief overview of programmable money and the concept of the “third lock,” including the difference between manual and automated transaction controls</li>



<li>Review a <a href="https://solari.com/programmable-money-four-scenarios/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">scenario planning</a> framework designed to identify and communicate the potential risks and opportunities associated with programmable money</li>



<li>Discuss the advisability of putting up legislative guardrails on programmable money, irrespective of scenario</li>



<li>Review legislative proposals, including cash acceptance legislation, protections against programmable money, and the emerging concept of a Right to a Non-Digital Life</li>



<li>Invite briefing attendees to participate in an interactive working session to help evaluate the four scenarios and identify additional legislative ideas for consideration</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A central question is whether legislative guardrails should depend on assumptions about intent. Even if programmable money is developed with beneficial goals, should reasonable safeguards be established before it becomes part of our financial infrastructure? What protections would be prudent regardless of whether the ultimate outcome is positive or negative?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you would like to take part in what promises to be a lively discussion, you can register for the July 9 Zoom briefing&nbsp;<a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MoiJduKaQoWcanBSpZNUqw#/registration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Using his personal experience of what has happened to his neighbourhood in Sweden over the decades,&nbsp; Jacob Nordangård describes how mass immigration leads to the Agentic State and a global panopticon.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Fortress World Scenario is starting to take shape, and the average citizen has been manipulated into embracing it with open arms, he writes.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Agentic State is a global action platform which assists governments in moving societies towards total digital control using agentic AI, an artificial intelligence system that can accomplish a specific goal with limited human supervision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A panopticon is a circular building with a central inspection house or tower, a design most famously used for prisons.&nbsp; It has become a metaphor for societal control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the&nbsp;<a href="https://gtcampaign.org/fortress-world/">Fortress World Scenario</a>, “as the systemic global crisis deepens, powerful international forces are able to impose order in the form of an authoritarian system of global apartheid with elites in protected enclaves and an impoverished majority outside.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The lesson from Sweden is that these dystopian plans are being imposed on societies after mass immigration has been allowed to take hold.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><a href="https://drjacobnordangard.substack.com/p/swedish-gang-wars-trigger-the-construction">Swedish Gang Wars Trigger the Construction of the Orwellian Security State</a></strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/@drjacobnordangard">Jacob Nordangård</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The surveillance state isn’t something coming in some distant future. It is already here and has been gradually implemented over the last couple of decades. But the speed is intensifying and is being justified with a familiar&nbsp;<em>modus operandi</em>&nbsp;(problem–reaction–solution).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my hometown, Norrköping, a gang war has erupted with its epicentre just a few blocks away from my apartment in a small district nicknamed “Biafra” (after the Nigerian Civil War 1967–70). It used to be a poor working-class district with two-story houses in rendered wood, with only cold running water and a privy in the courtyard. But despite its shortcomings in comfort, it was a small-scale area full of life, with ten grocery stores and a small hat shop.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-12.jpeg" alt="Snowy urban street with parked cars and brick buildings on both sides, black-and-white winter scene." class="wp-image-384050" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A street in the old district Gjuteriet All buildings in the picture were demolished in the late 1960s and replaced by large concrete blocks</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the mid-sixties, eight blocks were demolished to make way for modernity. Around one hundred houses were replaced by six gigantic residential buildings, a kindergarten and a supermarket. It was a part of the “million programme,” a public housing project implemented by the governing Social Democrat Party with the aim of solving Sweden’s housing shortage and poor living standards. It was built on the idea of large-scale technocratic efficiency and the urban planning philosophies of Swiss-French architect&nbsp;Le Corbusier, with the intent to wipe out almost everything reminiscent of the past.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-13.jpeg" alt="Red wooden houses with red-tiled roofs form a residential foreground, backed by a large white apartment block and distant industrial buildings." class="wp-image-384051" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The picturesque Red Town in front of the concrete ghetto Biafra The houses in the Red Town are all painted in the traditional Swedish Falu red iron oxide red from the copper mine in Falun hence the name</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This had a devastating effect on the old cityscape. In the neighbouring “Red Town” (built as emergency housing during the First World War), the area had begun to be expropriated to give room for even larger concrete buildings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">About 80 % of the old city centre in Norrköping was knocked down between 1965 and 1975 and replaced by new sterile modernist buildings and demolition sites/parking lots. It was not uncommon for visiting foreigners to ask if the city had been bombed during the Second World War.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the picturesque “Red Town” was saved, and the area is now protected and very popular.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the oil crisis in the early 1970s hadn’t put a halt to the large-scale plans, coinciding with ever louder protests from local residents, probably nothing would have remained of the older city except for some churches, schools and public buildings.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-10.jpeg" alt="Harbor at dusk with historic brick buildings along a canal and their reflections in calm water." class="wp-image-384048" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The rebuilt Old Town in Gdansk with the characteristic The Crane Żuraw</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For comparison, I recently visited Gdansk in Poland, where 90% of the city centre was destroyed in the war. However, parts of the city centre were rebuilt in the old style, which today attracts many tourists.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-9.jpeg" alt="Large beige multi-story office building with 'PRESIDENTEN' sign, surrounded by trees and a parking area." class="wp-image-384047" title="image - The Expose"/></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-11.jpeg" alt="Aerial view of a European city with a canal and colorful buildings along the water, under a blue sky with clouds." class="wp-image-384049" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The building complex Presidenten and the old Industrilandskapet in Norrköping</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same cannot be said about Norrköping’s rebuilt cityscape. The tourists mainly visit the old “Industrial Landscape,” comprising late 19th century factory buildings located along the river from the time when Norrköping was a major textile industry (described as Sweden’s Manchester).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the nickname “Biafra” suggests, the new district soon fell into disrepute. Despite well-planned apartments with a relatively high standard, it was rejected by all who could afford to live elsewhere. Instead, it would become a breeding ground for drug dealing and crime. It became reserved for the less fortunate. Unemployment was rising during the seventies after the closure of the last textile factories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le Corbusier’s technocratic utopia was to become populated by alcoholics, drug addicts, people on social welfare, students and refugees. But it wasn’t until the past decade that the district began to make headlines in Swedish media.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> <a href="https://youtu.be/iChPRQCVLio">Fredrik Reinfeldt Öppna era hjärtan</a> (Fredrik Reinfeldt Open your hearts), 25 September 2014 (3 mins).  The video is in Swedish but auto-generated subtitles in English and other languages are available.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In August 2014, Swedish Prime Minister&nbsp;Fredrik Reinfeldt&nbsp;(from the Liberal-Conservative Moderate Party) declared in a speech to the nation that Swedes had to open their hearts to people “fleeing towards Europe, fleeing towards freedom, fleeing towards better conditions.”<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;This would leave no room for further reforms as the state budget would be strained.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After losing the election in September 2014, Reinfeldt left it to his successors from the opposition to deal with what was to come – the largest and fastest wave of refugees since World War II. In April 2025, it was dubbed “the European refugee crisis.” Sweden was one of the most generous European countries and accepted 163,000 asylum seekers in one year, a large portion of whom came from war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia.<sup>2</sup>&nbsp;A staggering amount for a country with a population of less than 10 million.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, this became too much for the Swedish system to handle. The governing Social Democrats and the progressive Green Party were forced to abandon Sweden’s generous “open border” policy. In November 2015, tighter border control and stricter asylum rules were introduced.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-14.jpeg" alt="Two officials in business attire speak at podiums with microphones during a government briefing, against a blue backdrop with government insignia." class="wp-image-384053" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Åsa Romson Green Party and Prime Minister Stefan Löfvén Social Democrats present the new migration policy</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, private companies, “the immigration-industrial complex,” made substantial profits on solving the refugee challenges with tax-subsidised government contracts.<sup>3</sup>&nbsp;Among these profiteers were found former critics of large-scale immigration.<sup>4</sup></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-17.jpeg" alt="Infographic map titled 'European Migrant Crisis 2015' showing migrant routes, top origin countries, and a bottom timeline of asylum applications per month." class="wp-image-384056" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Asylum applications in the European Union EU and European Free Trade Association EFTA states between 1 January and 30 June 2015 according to Eurostat data</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the migrants were moved from temporary refugee camps into the old “million programme” areas, as few other options were available. The large inflow of new citizens also supported a building boom, which had been prepared well in advance by the previous Reinfeldt administration and was coupled with less restrictive building rules and weakened protections for cultural heritage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, it soon became clear that (even though a tiny minority) not all migrants were peaceful and had the best intentions in mind. Criminal networks and gangs were soon established, taking control of many of the migrant-dominated areas. The most well-known was the “Foxtrot network” with its leader&nbsp;Rawa Majid&nbsp;(aka the “Kurdish Fox”), who recruited young teenagers and children to commit serious crimes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many immigrant-dense areas became “no-go zones” and were labelled “vulnerable areas” by the Swedish authorities in 2015. Bombings and shootings have since become the new normal. According to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, “between 2018 and 2025, reported bomb-related crimes increased from 162 to 621 crimes per year across the country”.<sup>5</sup>&nbsp;Sweden is now one of the countries in Western Europe with the highest rate of gun violence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a development I never could have imagined growing up in the peaceful Sweden of the seventies and eighties.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-15.jpeg" alt="Construction site entrance with exposed ceiling framework, scattered debris, and a worker near an open orange door." class="wp-image-384054" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bombed entrance in Norrköping November 2025</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the same time, the right-wing populist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sd.se/english/">Sweden Democrats&nbsp;</a>(“SD”) doubled their voter base and in 2022 became the second largest party. This meant an abrupt change in immigration and security policy, with the large rival parties adopting policies similar to the SD. The new government, now again headed by the Liberal-Conservative&nbsp;<a href="https://moderaterna.se/">Moderate Party</a>&nbsp;and supported by SD, came to power promising to curb organised crime and “dramatically increase the number of surveillance cameras.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-16.jpeg" alt="Political ad image: a man in a dark coat and tie holding flowers stands on a city street with a police car in the background; bold Swedish text at the top reads 'Nu får vi ordning på brotten'; a blue circular logo with connected dots overlays the lower right." class="wp-image-384055" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Election poster for the Moderate Party with the title Now we will handle crime</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Prime Minister,&nbsp;Ulf Kristersson,&nbsp;would, ironically, come to power by solving a problem that his predecessor and party colleague Reinfeldt had helped create through the open border policy. But now it was, “No more Mr. Nice Guy.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-18.jpeg" alt="Swedish police tape cordoning off an urban area with a police car blurred in the background" class="wp-image-384057" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Police blockades after a shooting outside of Biafra</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2023 and 2024, the gang war in Norrköping reached its peak with two deadly shootings within a short walking distance from my house (the latest deadly shooting was at Walpurgis Night this year). CCTV cameras were installed to oversee my street in early 2024. This was followed by the introduction of the first Swedish “security zone” in Norrköping from April to June 2024.<sup>6</sup>&nbsp;CCTV cameras can now be found on all the main streets and will be followed by hundreds more after a decision by the City Council in February this year.<sup>7</sup></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-19.jpeg" alt="Traffic surveillance cameras mounted on a metal pole against a blue sky with a residential building in the background." class="wp-image-384058" title="image - The Expose"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">CCTV tower watching over Biafra</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the cameras can now be used more efficiently with AI-technology. In May 2026, the Swedish parliament decided that facial recognition would be allowed “if it is absolutely necessary to locate or identify a specific person.” At this stage only to detect and prevent serious crimes (danger to the lives of other people) or to find and identify missing persons. A court decision will be needed but can, in case of emergency, be applied for retrospectively.<sup>8</sup></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this will most likely change as the CCTV cameras and facial recognition technologies are planned to be a part of the coming financial-social credit system, always watching and evaluating human behaviour. Prerequisites for the&nbsp;<a href="https://agenticstate.org/">Agentic State</a>&nbsp;and a global panopticon.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The constant crises have supported the development and public support of this Orwellian security state, with the gang wars in areas like “Biafra” acting as triggers to reshape our cities into well-guarded and monitored “prison facilities.” Once again with profit to be made (this time by the Security Industrial Complex).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An old, deep-rooted fear of foreigners has been exploited by allowing excessive quotas of refugees from far-off countries and cultures, dismissing all criticism as racism and then harnessing the suppressed power of an increasingly discontented population.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the paradigm shifts and the government finally responds to the “wishes of the people” by imposing far-reaching restrictions on people’s privacy to create a safe society, the common man experiences this as a victory over the weak Leftist paradigm that gave rise to the chaos.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This means that the totalitarian police state, once again, is implemented with the mandate of the people. This is how Machiavellian strategy works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://gtcampaign.org/fortress-world/">The Fortress World Scenario</a>&nbsp;is starting to take shape, and the average citizen has been manipulated into embracing it with open arms. Few will question being monitored 24/7 as it will “make the world safe again.” It is time to wake up!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="300" height="169" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/data-center.jpeg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="data center" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to a report from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/04/25/hyperscale-data-center-may-be/">The Salt Lake Tribune</a>, celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary’s company is on the verge of securing final approvals for a sprawling hyperscale data center development in Box Elder County that could rival the state’s entire electricity consumption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) board approved key resolutions on Friday to propel the multibillion-dollar project forward, offering expedited processes and significantly reduced tax rates to attract major tech clients. The Box Elder County Commission is set to vote on the deal as early as Monday morning after postponing a Friday session.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">O’Leary, known as “Mr. Wonderful” from the reality show&nbsp;<em>Shark Tank</em>&nbsp;and a Canadian businessman whose firm O’Leary Digital is leading the effort, expressed amazement at Utah’s rapid pace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I heard about this opportunity just five months ago,” he said during a video appearance at the MIDA meeting. “No one has pulled this off this fast, ever. The state gets it, the leadership gets it, and the ability to execute like this is extraordinary.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project, spanning roughly 40,000 acres of privately owned land in unincorporated Box Elder County—where all landowners have consented—plus 1,200 acres involving the Utah Test and Training Range and state trust land, aims to generate its own power entirely through a connection to the Ruby Pipeline natural gas system. Proponents say it will not draw from the existing grid and could eventually feed excess power back into it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Initial phases are projected to demand about 3 gigawatts, approaching Utah’s statewide average usage of roughly 4 gigawatts, with full buildout potentially reaching 9 gigawatts—more than double current state consumption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It promises around 2,000 permanent high-paying jobs in the rural area, alongside substantial revenue: an estimated $30 million annually for Box Elder County in early stages, scaling to over $100 million at capacity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MIDA Executive Director Paul Morris highlighted competitive tax incentives, including slashing an energy use tax to 0.5% and directing 80% of certain property tax revenues back to the developer to “lure the hyperscalers”—giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. “We want to make sure we don’t strangle the goose that lays the golden egg,” Morris told the board.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Supporters also point to environmental features, such as advanced water recycling technology that cleans and returns water to an aquifer feeding the Great Salt Lake, claiming minimal net usage and potential benefits compared to traditional ranching. Funds would support modernization at Hill Air Force Base and broader military infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">O’Leary has framed the initiative as critical for U.S. technological competitiveness against China. County officials, who only recently learned details, plan public input before deciding. The development underscores Utah’s aggressive push to capitalize on the AI-driven data center boom.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Contrary to what promoters of the socialist scam claim, workers and “the people” can never play a meaningful role in the system.&nbsp; Yet socialism is taking over the so-called liberal (free) West which, supposedly, champions private ownership, with some countries now being more socialist than Russia or China.&nbsp; How?</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-introduction-12"><strong>Introduction</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s been five years since I first addressed this audience. [That talk&nbsp;<a href="https://odysee.com/@PANDA:3b/TimeToReopenSociety:7">HERE</a>, with Q&amp;A part&nbsp;<a href="https://odysee.com/@PANDA:3b/ugly-truth-about-lockdowns-part2:b?r=xNYQEdxsHDmT4yNZmaLjZL2YahCpyJcH">one</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://odysee.com/@PANDA:3b/ugly-truth-about-lockdowns-part3:9">two</a>.] The longest, harshest lockdown in the world had just been loosened up, but a mask mandate was still in place, so as I began, I looked over a sea of heads, not faces. As the slides rolled behind me, detailing the facts and figures that proved that the covid phenomenon was a complete and utter scam, one by one, those masks started to come off. It was an audience reaction the likes of which I don’t expect ever to encounter again, but today I’m hoping to see metaphorical masks come off and to enjoy the same level of engagement with you afterwards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Socialism.&nbsp;</strong>Although it can be argued to entail many other things, it is properly defined by extensive ownership of assets by the state. Ownership of an asset can arise from an instrument like a title deed or share certificate, or from some other mechanism that enshrines a right to the income it generates, like a tax. On that primary yardstick, nations all over the world, but especially in the West, have been socialist for a long time. In most developed countries, governments now supervene over about half<sup>[1]</sup>&nbsp;of the formal economy and no mechanism is in sight to prevent their relentlessly expanding ownership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps because this socialist trajectory is, in part, a structural consequence of large-scale democracy, we can observe that it has emerged at an impressive pace<sup>[2]</sup>. Just over a century ago, those same countries had tiny public sectors, accounting for less than 10% of the economy. As predicted by the soundest economic theories, with a burgeoning state, real per capita growth has dwindled to zero and inequality has soared. For the last half-century, there has been&nbsp;<strong>no&nbsp;</strong>growth in middle-class incomes<sup>[3]</sup>. Zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the greatest feats in the history of marketing was convincing people that socialism had something to do with power for workers, or that it would somehow involve “the people” as a whole owning or controlling the means of production. As slogans go, “Workers of the world unite!” was exceptional. But this was a scam, and no plausible, coherent schema for articulating how power would be vested in or exercised by workers or “the people” has ever been put forth. And so, socialism can and should only be characterised by the extent to which the state owns assets and income streams, and the degree to which political power is centralised and markets are distorted by state intervention. Workers and “the people” can never play a meaningful role in the system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, anyone predicting that, by this yardstick, merely a few decades later, the countries of the West would be more socialist than Russia and China, would have been mocked, but that is indeed what has transpired. Finland is now more socialist than its neighbouring Russia. The purpose of this talk is to explain how this tragic and foreboding situation transpired.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-socialism-is-a-bankers-project-18"><strong>Socialism is a Bankers’ Project</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A jarring fact is that socialism was founded and promoted by the bankers of the Anglo-American establishment, not for benevolent or philanthropic purposes, but to further their own interests. This seems implausible to some. Why would arch capitalists bay for socialism? But elite control of governments has been a permanent feature of life everywhere, whether one lives under democracy, monarchy or tyranny. Through lobbying, media control, infiltration and bribery, elites have long been able to capture and control governments, and as governments increase in size, the rewards from capturing them do too. Because banking has long been a transnational enterprise, the notion of the sovereign state is, like the notion of socialism being for workers, largely illusory. If you are an elite seeking control, it is far easier to get government to confiscate private assets, bringing them under your control for free, than to generate the wealth needed to buy them on the open market. So, socialism offers financial elites an enormous bounty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The actions taken by transnational bankers to bring about this situation over a century-and-a-half are not a matter of speculation, but are instead documented in excruciating detail, in some cases even by the very institutions they formed. Alec [Hogg, editor of Biz News], I took your advice to heart and ran the text of this talk through Anthropic’s Claude, and it had only minor quibbles, which I was happy to correct. That the matters of public record I’ll lay out here aren’t spoken about in&nbsp;<s>mainstream</s>&nbsp;corporate media, because it is under the tight control<sup>[4]</sup>&nbsp;of the same bankers, might mean that you don’t know about them, but your not knowing about them does not mean that they constitute a “conspiracy theory.” That term was a catch-all term devised by the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency] to divert attention away from its now broadly accepted role in the assassination of JFK, so it is entirely childish to use it pejoratively.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-where-did-the-global-socialist-project-start-21"><strong>Where Did the Global Socialist Project Start?</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Picking a starting point for a complex historical phenomenon is always somewhat arbitrary, as nothing happens without prior cause. I may surprise you, by choosing as the best place to start, South Africa in 1891. This was when Cecil John Rhodes formed The Society of the Elect<sup>[5]</sup>, for the purpose of “extending British rule throughout the world.”<sup>[6]</sup>&nbsp;As ensuing events would make clear, “British rule” didn’t mean rule by a monarch or government or “the people,” but by the international financiers behind The Society of the Elect’s founding. Chief among the founders were Lord “Natty” Rothschild; Lord Alfred Milner – soon to become High Commissioner for Southern Africa, Governor of the Cape Colony and a director of the Rothschild’s Rio Tinto mining company; Alfred Beit – a founder of the British South Africa Company for whom Beit Bridge is named; Randlord “Abe” Bailey – born in Cradock in the Eastern Cape; and Reginald Baliol Brett – an advisor to Queen Victoria. Quite a storied lot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other side of the Atlantic, just two weeks later, JP Morgan founded the Metropolitan Club in New York. He was a Rothschild representative, with links to that family that were half a century old. The Metropolitan Club’s members included New York grandees such as Vanderbilt and Roosevelt. What a coincidence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Rhodes’ early death in 1902, his secret society came to be known as the Milner Group, and it was through Lord Milner that the Rothschilds proceeded to cast one of history’s largest shadows.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-the-fabian-societys-new-world-order-25"><strong>The Fabian Society’s New World Order</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Separately, just seven years before the Milner and Morgan Groups’ establishment, and just ten months after Karl Marx’s death, a splinter group of the Scottish-American socialist Thomas Davidson’s club was established – the Fabian Society. Fabians recognised two things about Marxism – that its economic theories were nonsensical, so that it could only be a political movement, and that attempts to introduce socialism by revolution were destined to fail, so that&nbsp;<strong>gradualism</strong>&nbsp;would be required. That was the motivation for the choice of their name, which was a reference to the successful delaying tactics of the consul and sometime dictator of the Roman Republic, Quintus Fabius Maximus, during the Second Punic War against the Carthaginians under Hannibal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fabian Society would be a low-profile, semi-secret organisation gradually infiltrating society at every level to promote socialist thinking on a global basis. Included in their socialist thinking was that the world should come under the governance of a New World Order – a global socialist dictatorship with technocratic characteristics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their funding came not in the main from annual membership fees, but from prolific commercial magnates and financiers, including the houses of Rockefeller, Carnegie, Rothschild, Astor, Waldorf, Balfour, Cadbury, Tata, and many others. And elite funding of the spawn of Fabianism continues apace to this very day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With overlapping funding, interests and memberships, the scene was set for the Milner and Morgan Groups and the Fabian Society to embark on a largely silent, but incredibly successful campaign to change the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Logically, the first sector targeted by this campaign was education in the United Kingdom. With astonishing pace, Fabians infiltrated and quickly controlled the London School Board, key colleges of Oxford University, the University of Glasgow and others, and had established the London School of Economics by 1895. The LSE would go on to attract notable students, such as John F. Kennedy and David Rockefeller himself. Bertrand Russell, Clement Atlee and Joseph Schumpeter had taught there, and it had become notorious as the global hotbed of socialist teaching. Women’s and youth groups followed. Already by 1897 – wow, just two years into the project – Beatrice Webb, who was a foundational Fabian Society actor, was not exaggerating when she said that no young man or woman who wanted to study or work in public affairs could avoid coming under Fabian influence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so it would go, through Arts and Crafts, architecture, theatre, media houses, trade unions and churches around the world. Church infiltration was quite an extraordinary achievement because Fabians were typically downright hostile to religion. And they equally infiltrated Masonic lodges and movements such as Theosophy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Political infiltration did not take long, with the creation of the predecessor of the Labour Party. By 1924, they had a UK Prime Minister, in the form of Ramsay MacDonald, and since then the total has risen to nine, including Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson, James Callaghan, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Keir Starmer.<sup>[7]</sup>&nbsp;This statistic understates the influence the Fabian Society’s financiers had wrought, because over the same period, they had also infiltrated the Liberal Party, steadily steering them away from their natural domain of civil rights and protections for the individual against the state, and towards advocacy for free international trade. This suited the emergence of transnational monopolies and oligopolies whose power could be wielded against national governments. In a word,&nbsp;<strong>globalisation</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elsewhere, Australia<sup>[8]</sup>&nbsp;has had a Fabian prime minister more than half the time over the last half century, and from India to Nigeria to Singapore, other parts of the former British Empire have had their turns too. Even in the US, Bill Clinton, with his advocacy of “Third Way” politics, and Barack Obama both stank to high heaven of Fabian socialism. And what all these statesmen had in common is that they never once mentioned the Fabian Society in their election manifestos. That’s Fabian gradualism for you.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-expansion-of-the-deep-state-34"><strong>Expansion of the Deep State</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But all of this was nothing compared to the infiltration of the permanent bureaucracies of the world – the so-called “deep states.” Though organisations that you likely haven’t heard of, such as Common Purpose, the implementation arm of gradualism now active in 200 cities worldwide and counting alumni in a staggering 22,000 institutions, and South Africa’s Diversi-T may lack direct links to the Fabian Society, their overlapping funders, membership and policy make it sheer folly to reject a connection. And such organisations have been as adept at amassing funding from large corporations as they have been at concealing the fact that they act to project Fabian notions onto the organisations they purport to serve with their so-called training and leadership programs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Geopolitical shaping by this financial elite included fomenting and funding of the Anglo-Boer War,<sup>[9]</sup>&nbsp;the Russian Revolution, the First and Second World Wars and many other conflicts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the same way that the Milner and Morgan Groups emerged in lockstep, on both sides of the Atlantic, international affairs organisations were spawned by the same financiers. In the UK, it was the Royal Institute for International Affairs, or Chatham House. In the US, it was the Council on Foreign Relations. Both of these had predecessor organisations that were founded just one year apart in the wake of World War I.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These groups wasted no time forming and populating the League of Nations and began working on the United Nations [“UN”] as an instrument of world government. No fewer than 40 Council on Foreign Relations [“CFR”] members attended the 1945 meeting where the UN Charter was drafted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same people saw to the formation of secret talk shops, such as the Trilateral Commission and the sinister Bilderberg Group. MI6 was a Milnerite creation and its American station set up the predecessor of the CIA. Most CIA directors have been CFR members ever since. Later, Mossad would be organised along MI6 and CIA lines. They also set up the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, which were to preside over the debt traps into which governments all over the world would be forced so as to deliver comprehensive control over their domestic policies. If you haven’t read ‘<em>Confessions of an Economic Hitman</em>’, I strongly recommend that you do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these organisations in turn would set about sculpting a great many second-order organisations such as the World Economic Forum, which tells you to your face that you will “own nothing and be happy.” And they would elevate the creepiest of people – constructs, really – into high position. Even Jeffrey Epstein would make his way onto the Trilateral Commission at the behest of David Rockefeller.<sup>[10]</sup>&nbsp;(As an aside, the less damning half of the Epstein files that have been shown to the public contain no fewer than 4,400 references to Ariane Rothschild,<sup>[11]</sup>&nbsp;the atheist head of the continental branch of the Rothschild family. We’re dealing with some really sick puppies here.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In short, through constant and massive funding and multigenerational consistency of objectives, Fabianisation of the Western world is all but complete, and an argument can be made that considerable progress has been made in the rest of the world, too.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-fabian-policies-implemented-42"><strong>Fabian Policies Implemented</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In case this hasn’t been enough to make your hair stand on end, let’s take a look at some of the policies Fabians have pursued. You can decide whether you can see signs of results in the world of today:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Multiculturalism, “transformation,” DEI and “inclusive capitalism.”</li>



<li>The Islamisation of Europe and anti-white pressure groups such as Black Lives Matter.</li>



<li>Erosion of custodial arrangements for public securities.</li>



<li>Lobbying to favour large corporations over small.</li>



<li>Fear projection to persuade populations into accepting infringement of rights.</li>



<li>Assaults on the nuclear family and traditional gendered roles.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The capacity to disrupt nations that did not fall in line with these policies received prodigious funding. The CIA and MI6 funded and trained Afghanistan elements that would go on to become al-Qaeda and the Taliban,<sup>[12]</sup>&nbsp;and the Kosovo Liberation Army that was instrumental in NATO’s bombing of Serbia, and they ultimately perfected the deployment of so-called colour revolutions, of which there have been more than a dozen in the last half century, in diverse places – Ukraine, Georgia, Iran and so on.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-an-example-net-zero-and-south-africas-energy-sector-52"><strong>An Example: Net Zero and South Africa’s Energy Sector</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To illustrate how pervasively the Anglo-American establishment supervenes over South Africa, let’s look at just one sector: energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of it all, we had the late Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, governor of the London School of Economics for 42 years, driving the translation of climate science into economic imperative, with Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management’s €26 billion commitment to “Net Zero alignment” bringing the muscle to the party.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s how that gets local. In the restructuring of Eskom’s [a South African electricity public utility and the largest producer of electricity in Africa] mountain of debt Rothschild &amp; Co advise the creditors, while Lazard Ltd – the historically Rothschild-allied principal bank of the Anglo-American establishment – advises Eskom itself. This restructuring was a precondition for accessing funding for South Africa’s so-called Just Energy Transition, the single largest climate finance deal directed at&nbsp;<strong>any</strong>&nbsp;developing country. Martin Kingston, the executive chairman of Rothschild &amp; Co, also chairs B4SA, the implementation arm of BUSA – Business Unity South Africa – which handles relations with government, as well as the Resource Mobilisation Fund, which deploys energy modelling, tariff design, legal, communications and policy experts into the President’s NECOM [National Energy Crisis Committee] apparatus. So, Rothschild &amp; Co is simultaneously:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>advising the <strong>National Treasury</strong>, which decides whether to assume Eskom’s debt;</li>



<li>advising on <strong>Eskom’s restructuring</strong>, which determines the structure of the energy market;</li>



<li>advising <strong>Transnet</strong>, which is supposed to transport the coal that fuels Eskom’s generation fleet; and,</li>



<li>representing <strong>creditors</strong> in Eskom’s debt reorganisation, which determines terms of the unbundling.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In short, NUMSA [the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa?] is right. The Rothschilds have almost complete control over the process that is forcing South Africa down the catastrophically expensive lark of renewable energy under the banner of the climate crisis scam. We’re talking about a level of state capture that’s enough to make a Gupta blush, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank at our considerable expense. Because all of this will ensure that, instead of utilising abundant and cheap coal to secure the energy independence it enjoyed during the apartheid era, South Africa will emerge over-indebted, energy-starved, even more dependent on the Anglo-American establishment and with a national government that is, in all matters of importance, manipulated by foreign interests. With time in hand, I’d explore the motives and purposes of such elaborate and extensive control, but suffice it to say that it is not exerted in the interests of ordinary people of any culture, creed or ethnicity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And on that pleasant thought, I’ll end by thanking you for allowing me to cheer you up. I look forward to your questions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“With programmable money … you are not dealing with dollars but with a digital token that has the programmability features directly baked in.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens who are working to preserve American freedoms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As digital payment systems rapidly evolve, states are increasingly becoming the front line in determining whether financial transactions will remain private, voluntary, and free from coercive control. The briefing titled “A Legislator’s Guide to Programmable Money, Part Two” took place on March 26, 2026, and served as a follow-up to the in-depth discussion of the Solari model legislation,&nbsp;<em>The Consumer Payment Rights and Transparency Act</em>, presented during the February briefing with David Liechty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The briefing:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Provided an update on the current status of state legislation related to programmable money</li>



<li>Discussed lessons learned during the legislative process</li>



<li>Addressed in greater depth questions that were raised during the February briefing</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David Liechty is a banking compliance and intellectual property attorney with more than 20 years’ experience advising private clients, U.S. banks, and U.S. branches of foreign financial institutions on intellectual property matters and banking regulatory compliance, financial crime risk, and governance.</p>

<p class="speakable">A delegation of 1,000 U.S. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/faith-values" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian pastors and influencers </a>— the largest group of American Christian leaders to visit Israel since its founding — arrived last Tuesday as part of a Friends of Zion initiative.</p>
<p class="speakable">The trip, organized in partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is designed to provide training and prepare participants to serve as unofficial ambassadors for Israel in their communities.</p>
<p>Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem and a confidant of President Donald Trump, said most Evangelical Bible believers are Zionists, making them a key ally in efforts to counter antisemitism.</p>
<p>&#8220;These devils that hate Jews hate Christians just as much. What is being said against the state of Israel is one hundred times worse than what the Nazis said on their party platform in 1920, and everyone is ignoring it. They don’t realize how dangerous this is,&#8221; Evans told Fox News Digital.</p>
<p>&#8220;The new wars of the 21st century are media wars, ideological wars, economic wars and proxy wars. And while Israel has never fought an ideological war, its enemies have,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Evans said members of the visiting delegation were vetted to ensure no hidden agendas and signed a pledge committing to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people. &#8220;We had over 2,000 apply; we chose those best suited for this first trip. These 1,000 pastors represent tens of millions of Americans and have major media and social media influence,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The initiative was approved by Prime Minister <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/benjamin-netanyahu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benjamin Netanyahu</a>, whom Evans has known for 45 years.</p>

<p>&#8220;When we were on Mount Herzl, one widow was there sharing her story. Her daughter no longer has a daddy. Thinking that my little girl might not have her dad broke my heart. I connected on a deep personal level,&#8221; Tamryn Foley, a member of the National Faith Advisory Board&#8217;s executive team, told Fox News Digital.</p>
<p>The board is the largest coalition backing and advocating for people of faith, led by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/paula-white-cain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pastor Paula White-Cain</a>. Its mission is built on four pillars — protecting religious freedom, promoting a strong America, defending life at all stages and honoring family values — and it identifies the U.S.-Israel alliance as central to that agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;I stand with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel </a>very strongly, and so does the group of pastors I work with. I don’t think we realized how big this event would be. We wanted to show support, and since we’ve been here, it’s been so much more than we thought,&#8221; said Foley, who lives in Florida.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am going back home with a fire to make sure young people in my country know the truth. It’s one thing to understand something intellectually, and another to come here, meet people who have been affected, and connect with them on a heart level,&#8221; she continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is so much negative propaganda in our country. It’s loud, and we need to do a better job of educating young people. They’re capable of seeing through the nonsense and lies — I don’t think we give them enough credit. We need to present them with the truth and plant the seed for lifelong support for Israel,&#8221; Foley said.</p>
<p>One objective of the training, he explained, is to reach young people — claiming countries like Qatar have turned against Israel by investing millions of dollars to spread antisemitic content through universities and digital platforms.</p>
<p>Evans said the Muslim Brotherhood, for example, has waged ideological warfare, describing it as a &#8220;powerful demon because it doesn’t clear customs, and you can’t kill it with a bullet.</p>
<p>&#8220;More than half of the Palestinian population embraces Hamas’ ideology of radical Islam,&#8221; he claimed, &#8220;which isn’t based on land for peace but on establishing an Islamic state and eradicating the Jewish state.&#8221;</p>

<p>Evans noted that the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/religion/evangelical" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evangelical movement</a>, representing 9.7% of the global population, has significantly influenced U.S. foreign policy through its belief that the biblical land belongs to the Jewish people.</p>
<p>&#8220;The president loves us and knows how we feel about Israel,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We believe the president respects us and that we have his confidence and ear. We would not have had the hostages back without him. He will stand with us and will not cave in to Jew-haters’ intentions regarding Judea and Samaria or a Palestinian state. He will try everything he can to help Israel,&#8221; Evans added.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the delegation met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and visited the site of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre</a> at the Supernova music festival, accompanied by former hostages Emily Damari, Tal Shoham, Moran Stella Yanai, and Aviva and Keith Siegel, who received the &#8220;Here Am I&#8221; Award for their advocacy work.</p>

<p>&#8220;We are seeking to unify — and demonstrate that unity — between evangelical Christian leaders in America, Israel and the Jewish people, and to counter any perception that this community is divided on the issue, because it is not,&#8221; Pastor Mike Atkins, a member of the delegation, told Fox News Digital.</p>
<p>&#8220;The antisemitism that erupted had long been simmering beneath the surface on university campuses and in major European cities. This is an open stand against the lies, and a declaration of our commitment to truth,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Atkins explained that the delegation has been exposed &#8220;at the highest levels&#8221; to firsthand insights — visiting the site of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacre</a>, listening to victims and seeing the realities on the ground in Israel. Delegates, he said, have also received extensive information through symposium speakers on how to combat antisemitic deception and will continue to do so as they coalesce into a coalition.</p>
<p>&#8220;To the youth, I say: join the movement. Commit to never again allowing the poisonous deception of antisemitism to penetrate our culture. Take a stand, speak up and do not remain silent,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best medicine for Jewish Derangement Syndrome, an acute <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/topic/anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">form of bigotry and antisemitism</a>, is for people to come to Israel and see and hear for themselves. These American spiritual leaders are committed to using their pulpits and influence to provide truth,&#8221; Huckabee told Fox News Digital.</p>
<p>&#8220;Truth is the best antibiotic to combat the conspiracy theories and falsehoods said about the United States, its partnership with Israel and the Jewish people,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Dr. Vernon Coleman, a long-time critic of global health bureaucracies and government overreach, argues that so-called “assisted dying” and “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) have already crossed a line in countries like Canada and the Netherlands.</p>
<p>He argues that other Western nations will soon topple and warns that the United Kingdom is now being maneuvered down the same path under the banner of “compassion.”</p>
<p>According to Coleman, this isn’t about choice or dignity.</p>
<p>It’s about building a state-run mechanism to quietly eliminate those the system views as a burden.</p>
<p>Coleman raised the alarm in a <a href="https://www.vernoncoleman.com/goesglobal.htm">new essay</a> where he warns about the rise in euthanasia and the slippery slope into full-blown eugenics.</p>
<p>His warning is blunt: if the public does not stop it now, euthanasia will not remain a “rare, carefully regulated last resort.”</p>
<p>It will become a routine exit ramp for governments to eliminate the burden of anyone who is old, ill, disabled, poor, lonely, or simply inconvenient.</p>
<p><strong>Britain’s “Death by Doctor” Bill: From ‘Compassion’ to a Legal Killing Machine?</strong></p>
<p>In the U.K., Coleman points to the fast-tracked “assisted dying” legislation in Parliament as the next major front.</p>
<p>He notes that MPs in the House of Commons “narrowly” voted the bill through.</p>
<p>However, many lawmakers, he argues, had “no real idea” what they were actually authorizing.</p>
<p>Yet, the bill now sits in the House of Lords with growing time and political pressure behind it.</p>
<p>Coleman characterizes the bill as one of the most dangerous and misleading pieces of legislation ever introduced in Westminster.</p>
<p>On paper, it is sold as a tightly controlled option for a small number of patients in severe pain, desperate to end their lives.</p>
<p>In practice, he insists, that is never where it stops.</p>
<p>He warns that the globalist political playbook is now familiar:</p>
<p>1) Pass a tightly worded law.</p>
<p>2) Reassure the public that it will be used “rarely” and only in “exceptional” circumstances.</p>

<div class="sc-bdnxRM jvCTkj" data-nosnippet="true"></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>3) Then quietly expand the criteria, weaken safeguards, and normalize the practice until it becomes just another “treatment option.”</p>
<p>In his view, this is not speculation.</p>
<p>It is exactly what has already happened around the world.</p>
<p><strong>Canada: “Death by Doctor” as a Model for Mission Creep</strong></p>
<p>Coleman argues that Canada is the clearest warning of where “assisted dying” regimes <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/viral-video-7-year-old-final-cuddle-great-grandpa-euthanized-canadian-government/">inevitably lead</a> once the door is opened.</p>
<p>Canada legalized MAiD in 2016 with a key condition: the patient’s natural death had to be “reasonably foreseeable.”</p>
<p>That legal phrase was initially presented as a strict safeguard.</p>
<p>Within a few years, Coleman notes, the safeguards were eroded step by step:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The “reasonably foreseeable” requirement was dropped.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> MAiD eligibility expanded to people with “grievous and irremediable” medical conditions — a broad, subjective category.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The program was then extended to non-terminal disabilities, chronic illnesses, and loss of independence.</p>
<p>Canada is now preparing to open MAiD to people whose primary condition is <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canadians-rise-up-against-governments-plan-euthanize-mentally-ill-citizens/">mental illness</a>, and discussions have already <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canada-pushes-begin-euthanizing-children/">included minors</a>.</p>
<p>From there, Coleman argues, the logic was extended further: poverty, isolation, and lack of support have become de facto reasons to die.</p>
<p>He cites cases reported in Canadian media and public testimony where:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Disabled veterans were reportedly offered euthanasia instead of support or adaptive equipment.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Patients with depression, eating disorders, or long-term psychiatric conditions were told they could pursue MAiD as an “option” rather than receiving sustained treatment.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Individuals who could not secure adequate housing or disability support considered assisted death because they could no longer survive with dignity.</p>
<p>Coleman’s core claim is stark: what began as a supposedly “rare and regulated” last resort has become a system where the state, medical bureaucracy, and cash-strapped health services treat premature death as a cost-saving measure.</p>
<p>He notes that official Canadian figures already show tens of thousands of deaths through MAiD, and he argues the real numbers may be higher due to the way causes of death are recorded.</p>
<p><strong>From Care to Culling: When Vulnerable People Are Steered Toward Suicide</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Coleman emphasizes that the most chilling trend is not just who qualifies on paper, but how vulnerable people are being nudged toward euthanasia in practice.</p>
<p>He cites reported cases in which:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> A paralyzed veteran asking for a wheelchair ramp was allegedly offered euthanasia instead.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> A woman seeking help for depression was asked if she had considered MAiD, with staff reportedly mentioning that a state-administered death would be “more comfortable” than a suicide attempt.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Family members claim hospital staff persistently pressured them to sign Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders or agree to “assisted dying” for elderly relatives.</p>
<p>Coleman’s argument is that once a culture and legal system normalize the notion that death is a medically managed solution to suffering, economic pressures, ideological agendas, and bureaucratic convenience begin to do the rest.</p>
<p>He warns that the poor, disabled, chronically ill, mentally distressed, and the elderly become prime candidates for “death by doctor” when treatment is deemed too costly, beds too scarce, or their lives too “low quality” in the eyes of the system.</p>
<p><strong>The “Slippery Slope” Is No Longer Theoretical</strong></p>
<p>Supporters of assisted suicide often dismiss concerns about a slippery slope as fearmongering.</p>
<p>Coleman responds by treating the “slope” as a documented historical pattern.</p>
<p>He points to international examples where:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> In the Netherlands and Belgium, euthanasia has extended to minors, people with autism, learning disabilities, and psychiatric disorders.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> In some cases, parents or relatives reportedly approved euthanasia for demented or incapacitated patients who could no longer meaningfully consent.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Over time, “exceptional” categories quietly become routine.</p>
<p>Coleman warns that “assisted suicide” laws will be no different in any other nation that passes similar laws.</p>
<p>He argues that once the legal architecture is in place and doctors are empowered to deliver lethal injections, the pressure to expand, streamline, and normalize the practice will be relentless.</p>
<p><strong>The Myth of the ‘Peaceful, Painless’ Euthanasia</strong></p>
<p>One of the most powerful parts of Coleman’s argument is his direct attack on what he calls the “convenient myth” that euthanasia is gentle, peaceful, and painless.</p>
<p>He cites medical reporting and case studies from countries with established euthanasia regimes and from U.S. death-penalty protocols, including:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Failed lethal injections where patients took hours or days to die.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Cases of vomiting, gasping, spasms, and apparent distress after the administration of “cocktails” of killing drugs.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Instances in which patients reportedly woke up after ingesting so-called “death doses,” creating confusion about what to do next.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Autopsy evidence from executions showing fluid build-up in the lungs consistent with the sensation of drowning or suffocation.</p>
<p>Coleman argues that:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> There are no standardized protocols guaranteeing a quick, painless death.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Monitoring during euthanasia is minimal, and there is no way to know exactly what the patient experiences physiologically in their final moments.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canadian-media-celebrates-47-year-old-disability-rights-advocate-euthanized-government/">serene image</a> sold to the public, a quiet fade into sleep, is often marketing, not medicine.</p>
<p>If anything, he suggests, a bullet would likely be faster and more reliable.</p>
<p>The fact that governments avoid such blunt methods, he implies, is not about mercy, but optics.</p>
<p><strong>From “Assisted Dying” to Depopulation and Organ Harvesting</strong></p>
<p>Coleman goes further than most critics, tying euthanasia into a broader global agenda.</p>
<p>In his view, pushing “death by doctor” is not just a misguided policy; it is an integral feature of a depopulation and eugenics project aimed at managing “surplus” population.</p>
<p>He notes several converging trends:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Palliative care and hospices are underfunded or closing.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Health systems are rationing treatment and l<a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canada-funnels-1-billion-foreign-healthcare-citizens-euthanized-deadly-treatment-waitlists/">eaving patients</a> on waiting lists where many die before they are seen.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Elderly patients have been subjected to “Do Not Resuscitate” orders or withdrawal of food and fluids without proper consent.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Against that backdrop, euthanasia is sold as a compassionate “choice,” even as genuine care becomes harder to access.</p>
<p>Coleman also raises a deeply uncomfortable point that <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/study-praises-canadian-euthanasias-real-impact-organ-harvesting/">organs are being harvested</a> from people who are euthanized by their governments.</p>
<p>He warns that:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The most viable organs come from people who die in controlled, medically managed scenarios, not from random accidents or natural death at an advanced stage.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Euthanasia provides precisely that: a predictable, controlled death in a hospital setting, with organs still in condition to be harvested.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> As organ donation systems increasingly move from opt-in to presumed consent, euthanasia could quietly become a pipeline of high-quality organs.</p>
<p>In his view, this creates a perverse incentive structure where:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The same system that encourages vulnerable patients to die can turn around and reserve their organs for the political and economic elite.</p>
<p>Coleman portrays euthanasia as the ultimate inversion: those most in need of protection are steered into early death, while their bodies are <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/whistleblowers-expose-cover-up-organ-harvesting-live-patients/">mined for parts</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Culture Shift: From Protecting Life to Managing Death</strong></p>
<p>Beyond policy mechanics and horror stories, Coleman is most concerned about the cultural and moral shift.</p>
<p>He argues that:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Once the state and medical profession reposition themselves not just as healers but as authorized killers, the entire foundation of medicine changes.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Many doctors want nothing to do with this, but a system under financial strain will always find enough willing participants.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> The same political class that mishandled the pandemic, advanced experimental mandates, and centralized more power over daily life is now being trusted to decide who can be legally killed.</p>
<p>He also warns about new speech and “influence” restrictions around euthanasia, citing proposals in places like Scotland that would criminalize attempts to talk someone out of assisted death.</p>
<p>In other words, the state moves from allowing euthanasia, to encouraging it, to punishing those who resist it.</p>
<p><strong>“Speak Now or Regret It Later”</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Coleman’s conclusion is not subtle.</p>
<p>He insists that:</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Euthanasia bills are not neutral health policies; they are tools to accelerate depopulation, cut costs, and eliminate those deemed “<a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canad-euthanize-useless-citizens-taking-up-space/">useless eaters</a>.”</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Safeguards will not hold. They never do.</p>
<p><strong>   •</strong> Once the machine is built, it will not be reserved for the most extreme cases—it will be normalized, expanded, and defended as “progress.”</p>
<p>He warns that many people will only grasp the full horror when it is too late, when a parent is pressured into “choosing” death, when a disabled person is steered toward euthanasia instead of care, or when a depressed relative is quietly approved for a lethal injection.</p>
<p>By then, he suggests, resistance will be branded as <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canadian-woman-cerebral-palsy-bullied-doctors-refusing-euthanasia-called-selfish/">selfish</a>, “anti-choice,” or even criminal.</p>
<p>In a final warning to the public, Coleman asserts that, if you stay silent now, you may not like the world that silence builds.</p>

<p>“All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.”</p>
<p>The prescience of this section is hard to overstate, especially as those inalienable rights have been attacked. Specifically, the right to privacy has progressively eroded in San Francisco thanks to partnerships between the police and private companies.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-207864 td-animation-stack-type0-2" src="https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-1024x761.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-1024x761.jpg 1024w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-300x223.jpg 300w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-768x571.jpg 768w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-1536x1142.jpg 1536w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-696x517.jpg 696w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera-1068x794.jpg 1068w, https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/48hillsspycamera.jpg 1687w" alt="" width="1024" height="761" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Flock spy cameras are common in homeowners’ associations—and now in cities, including SF. Wikimedia Images photo</figcaption></figure>
<p>In 2019, San Francisco <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/us/facial-recognition-ban-san-francisco.html">banned</a> the use of facial recognition technology and nearly two dozen other municipalities followed suit shortly after. The hallmark vote in the city did little to stop the police from heavily surveilling protestors the following summer, as <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/07/san-francisco-police-accessed-business-district-camera-network-spy-protestors">SFPD </a>used a network of private security cameras to monitor Black Lives Matter protestors in late May and early June.</p>
<p>This is just one example of the public-private surveillance partnerships at work in the city. These partnerships obfuscate misuse at the expense of the public.</p>
<p>Another example of this predatory partnership is Flock Safety’s extensive network of surveillance cameras, storing the public’s information on private servers and sharing it with a variety of federal agencies.</p>
<p>Similarly, SFPD’s Real Time Investigation Center, which recently moved to a new location downtown <a href="https://48hills.org/2025/08/sfpd-surveillance-units-close-ties-to-crypto-billionaire/">thanks to a $9.4 million donation from crypto billionaire Chris Larsen</a>, represents the logistical hub of the network.</p>
<p>Far from making us safer, these partnerships have demonstrably destructive effects on our civil liberties and put the most vulnerable members of our community in the crosshairs. In July, 2024 the ACLU NorCal authored a 50-page study entitled <a href="https://www.aclunc.org/sites/default/files/Seeing_Through_Surveillance__Report_Web.pdf">Seeing Through Surveillance</a> that detailed the severe costs of unchecked surveillance technologies.</p>

</div>

</div>
</div>
<p>Part of the report outlined a 2019 lawsuit from the ACLU NorCal that revealed over 80 local law enforcement agencies in 12 states, including California, fed more than 1 billion license plate reader records to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  This pattern has only intensified with the interjection of private enterprise.</p>
<p>Beyond just the legislative and civil consequences, these technologies are often supported by our tax money.</p>
<p>The ACLU report details several local case studies that highlight the ineffectiveness, and costliness, of surveillance technology.</p>
<p>Between 2006-2011, the city of Oakland spent $2 million on technology that was barely used. Similarly, in 2005 San Francisco installed a series of cameras, owned by the city, in high traffic areas as a way of curbing crime. However, a UC institute analysis in 2008 revealed that the cameras “​​had no impact on violent crime” and were not a useful tool for investigators or prosecutors.</p>
<p>Despite this, surveillance technology has been widely implemented across the Bay Area. The key distinction now, as opposed to the developments twenty years ago, is the addition of private companies like Flock Safety.</p>
<p><strong>In March, 2024 then-Mayor London Breed announced the city was installing 400 Flock Safety Falcon</strong> license plate reader cameras. That month the city also initiated the Real Time Investigation Center at its original location, the Hall of Justice. Critically, the RTIC is equipped with Flock’s ALPR data.</p>
<p>Both came shortly after the passage of <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/san-francisco-gets-invasive-billionaire-bought-surveillance-hq">Prop E</a> in the March 5 election, which expanded police surveillance tactics and was financially supported, at least in part, by Chris Larsen.</p>
<p>Flock Safety was founded in 2017 by Garrett Langley, a Georgia Tech grad with a background in engineering. It quickly became a disruptor in the surveillance space, honing in on a market primarily dominated by Motorola cameras. By and large, Flock Safety has won contracts with large municipalities through partnerships with city governments and through smaller, local associations.</p>
<p>The cameras are “almost always [paid for using public funds],” Dave Maass, director of investigations for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said in an interview. “Sometimes it’ll come through an outside grant that will become public funds. It can get a bit hinky in San Francisco with Chris Larsen, is it public funds is it not public funds. But Flock did make a lot of headway by coming in through homeowners’ associations.”</p>
<p><strong>In February, 2024 Flock Safety published a </strong><strong><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/02/08/2826075/0/en/New-Study-Finds-that-Flock-Safety-is-Instrumental-in-Solving-10-of-Reported-Crime-in-U-S.html?ref=404media.co">study</a></strong> claiming that its ALPR cameras are “instrumental in solving 10 percent of reported crime in the U.S.”</p>
<p>That kind of eye-catching claim invariably bolsters the company’s bottom line and opens the door to more contracts with homeowners’ associations or cities.</p>
<p>But the study was written by Flock employees with “oversight” by two academic researchers. One of the researchers spoke to <a href="https://www.404media.co/researcher-who-oversaw-flock-surveillance-study-now-has-concerns-about-it/">404Media</a>, and noted that he would have approached the study quite differently and explained that the police data was “too varied and incomplete for us to do any type of meaningful statistical analysis on them.”</p>
<p>This kind of marketing tactic is not uncommon in private enterprise, but those strategies being used for issues like law enforcement and surveillance have more destructive consequences.</p>
<p>“Flock is in it for the business,” Maass said. They’re responsible to their investors first, their customers second and then down in the stack is the responsibility to the public.”</p>
<p>Reporting by <a href="https://www.404media.co/emails-reveal-the-casual-surveillance-alliance-between-ice-and-local-police/">404Media</a> in recent months has detailed the extensive surveillance network put in place by Flock Safety that has been tapped by federal law enforcement agencies. Jason Koebler of 404Media wrote in June about an email thread called, “Southern Oregon Analyst Group,”  in which local officers shared surveillance tactics and information with federal agents, including those in ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations.</p>
<p>This pattern of information sharing with federal agencies is well established, as Matt Cagle, a Technology and Civil Liberties Attorney with ACLU NorCal noted.</p>
<p>“As we’ve seen in San Francisco this is the kind of information that rarely stays local. This information about our locations and our movements,” Cagle said, referring to a recent <a href="https://sfstandard.com/2025/09/08/sfpd-flock-alpr-ice-data-sharing/">SF Standard</a> article that revealed SFPD allowed officers from Georgia and Texas to run 1.6 million illegal searches, including 19 explicitly for ICE.</p>
<p>In August, Koebler of <a href="https://www.404media.co/cbp-had-access-to-more-than-80-000-flock-ai-cameras-nationwide/">404Media reported</a> that Customs and Border Patrol had routinely searched Flock Safety’s more than 80,000 ALPR cameras <em>without </em>the knowledge of the local police departments that operate them.</p>
<p>This relationship illuminates the issue with this kind of widespread surveillance.</p>
<p>“If a federal agency tried to get San Francisco’s data from Flock directly, what would happen? Would Flock hold off a bit and give SF a chance to challenge it?” Maass said.</p>
<p><strong>While Flock Safety’s expansive array of cameras serve as the tendrils</strong> of the city’s surveillance network, all that data is collected, stored and analyzed in the RTIC, which serves as the brain of the network.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.sf.gov/news-mayor-lurie-announces-new-headquarters-for-sfpd-real-time-investigation-center-to-continue-work-to-improve-safety-reduce-crime">June</a>, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced a new headquarters for the RTIC at 315 Montgomery Street. The location is part of a bigger building complex that includes 555 California Street and is owned, at least in part, by <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2018/05/02/donald-trumps-business-is-booming-in-san-francisco/">The Trump Organization</a>.</p>
<p>Of the $9.4 million donation from Chris Larsen through the Police Community Foundation, <a href="https://missionlocal.org/2025/06/were-going-to-be-covering-the-entire-city-with-drones-billionaires-donation-to-sfpd-accepted/">$2 million</a> will go to paying the lease for the 14,000 square foot office space. Ripple Labs, Larsen’s crypto firm, was the former occupant and, by all accounts, will maintain the lease for the SFPD during its 16-month duration there.</p>
<p>The remainder of the donation, $7.4 million, will go to an expansion of the Drones as First Responders program. The donation will add 10 new launch sites for the drones and allow FAA trained officers to pilot the drones from the RTIC.</p>
<p>Both the RTIC as a whole and the deployment of Flock Safety cameras were made legally possible by the passage of Prop E. Once the proposition passed, Larsen then offered another substantial sum of money to move the RTIC into a building in which his company holds the lease.</p>
<p>“I think the example of Prop E being supported by Chris Larsen and how it led up to the RTIC is really important,” Jeremy Mack, executive director of the Phoenix Project, said in an interview “So he throws all this money to this PAC to support Prop E. Then Prop E passes and he turns around and gets on Lurie’s good side, then he starts this foundation. The SF police community foundation, just so he can give the $9.4 mill to the SFPD”</p>
<p>This municipal relationship between billionaire money and city services is not new, especially in San Francisco.</p>
<p>“These kinds of issues are part of a well-worn pattern that really came to be in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. You have Silicon Valley companies who were trailblazers in this respect, they collect reams of information about their users and then the government can tap into those databases using subpoenas and warrants and other demands,” Cagle said.</p>
<p>But such an opaque and expensive relationship comes with massive problems.</p>
<p>Namely, private companies are unaccountable to anyone but their shareholders. Even non-profits are shrouded by the cover of private enterprise and thus are not subject to the same scrutiny.</p>
<p>While city bureaucracies have myriad failings, they are—at least to some extent—accountable to the public. When it comes to issues of surveillance and policing, issues that often manifest violently and prejudicially on the poorest people in the city, public accountability is critical.</p>
<p>Privacy as a constitutional, inalienable right gives us as citizens the right to demand transparency from our municipalities. These ever-expanding public-private partnerships work directly against that right. More than that, privacy itself is not about shying away from the public light but rather safeguarding ourselves and our community against corporate overreach.</p>
