Geopolitics & Empire

Gilbert Doctorow provides a critical assessment of current global conflicts critiquing the cautious military strategies of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, arguing that their failure to enforce “red lines” has undermined their international deterrence. Doctorow also examines the presidency of Donald Trump, suggesting his Realpolitik approach and “war of aggression” in Iran may paradoxically lead to the collapse of NATO and the EU. The discussion explores how the energy crisis and Middle Eastern instability are accelerating European deindustrialization and structural decay. Ultimately, he highlights the tension between liberal interventionism and a rising global framework defined by competing spheres of influence.

Riley Waggaman discusses his recent expulsion from Russia after his partner was interrogated by the FSB and handed a 25-year entry ban for unspecified national security reasons. The discussion critiques both West and East, arguing that the same Davos globalist technocracy is present in the BRICS nations through initiatives like CBDCs and carbon markets. Waggaman contends that the SMO has only served to further integrate Ukraine into the Western sphere while domestic freedoms in Russia are increasingly restricted. The dialogue highlights the perceived disingenuousness of alternative media figures who provide uncritical support for the Kremlin’s policies.

Author of the newly published dystopian science fiction novel Project Nimrod Aaron J. Smith discusses his work envisioning a future two-tiered “Viveka” world and society defined by technological integration, transhumanism, and surveillance based on the trajectory of our current reality. Smith touches on various subjects including how modern conveniences like wearables and AI chatbots act as incremental steps toward a totalitarian technocracy threatening human agency. He further examines the spiritual implications of surrendering critical thinking to digital systems, likening AI reliance to a “digital Ouija board.” Ultimately, he emphasizes the necessity of individual resistance and maintaining a grounded, human perspective in an increasingly automated age.

On their latest biweekly roundtable, the Cognitive Dissidents find that losing is winning in Iran for the technocracy’s long-term plan, the energy shock of the Iran War isn’t just about oil and gas but also about fertilizer and food with fears creating shortages before actual scarcity hits, and new lows in insider trading as hundreds of millions of dollars are wagered and won mere minutes before Trump’s TACO tweet…these topics and many more!

Iurie Roșca discusses the deceptive nature of modern geopolitics, arguing that both East and West are controlled by the same globalist interests, suggesting that the apparent conflict between them is a distraction. He specifically critiques the multipolarity movement, claiming that entities like the Eurasian Union are merely carbon copies of the European Union’s technocratic model. The conversation highlights how alternative media figures and intellectuals are often co-opted or funded by these power centers to promote specific narratives. Roșca describes his personal experience with state censorship, legal persecution, and “civic death” resulting from his refusal to align with either side. Ultimately, he emphasizes the necessity of Christian spiritual resistance against what Roșca identifies as an encroaching digital tyranny.
