Metropolis-States With out Limits – Half 2

In Half 1, we explored the ideology that has been adopted by a robust group of NRx technocrat-oligarchs and the way their proposals align with the pursuits of their worldwide oligarch companions. We mentioned the enterprise capital impression funding technique the NRx technocrats name “accelerationism” and the way governments are literally “practical oligarchies.”

The mannequin of “authorities” the NRx technocrats suggest is in contrast to something we’re at present accustomed to. It’s rather more akin to the sort of authoritarian dictatorships exercised by the feudal monarchs of Medieval Europe. These gov-corp Technates, as envisaged, successfully quantity to dictatorial city-states underneath the direct management of oligarchs. 

The NRx technocrats search to interrupt nation-states aside into technologically ruled “enclaves” (gov-corp Technates). These “realms” will type a world “Patchwork,” with every enclave or “community archipelago” represented as a digital node, nearly actually on a single, overarching blockchain or “unified ledger.” The digital entry permissions to the node, which serves because the digital twin for the bodily realm of the city-state “enclave,” might be managed by the “founder” or their chosen directors of the realm. This kinds a gov-corp Technate dominated by a CEO King (oligarch) the place “nothing formally exists” except it’s represented digitally on the realm’s ledger (blockchain).

The residents of the realm are clients of the sovereign company (sovcorp) that guidelines the gov-corp Technate. The shoppers could have no particular person sovereignty except they buy it from the “founder.” All worth is digital within the realm. The lifetime of your “digital twin,” monitored via the requirement to make use of digital ID, seamlessly hyperlinks a buyer’s offline life to that of their on-line digital twin. 

By controlling the programmable digital forex allotted to the shopper’s digital twin, by way of their digital ID, any misbehaviour may be punished by the founder or their delegated system directors. For instance, by freezing “their deposits” or locking folks “out of all doorways for a time interval as a punishment.” There aren’t any technique of recourse in a gov-corp Technate. The one possibility open to the persecuted buyer is to flee, if they’ve the means. 

We additionally mentioned how governments around the globe have already began carving out nascent gov-corp Technates within the type of hundreds of Particular Financial Zones (SEZs). A few of which, comparable to Shenzhen in China, have already been established as de facto city-states with their very own more and more impartial jurisdictions and embryonic city-state governments. 

On the coronary heart of this effort to create a worldwide patchwork of city-states are the NRx technocrats, maybe most notably Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen within the US, and enterprise capital companies like NeWay Capital and Pronomos Capital. However they’re removed from alone. The NRx technocrat community is international and, on the highest governmental and intergovernmental degree, the hope is to deliver concerning the international governance of a patchwork of city-state gov-corp Technates. 

Sensible-Metropolis-States With out Limits

NRx technocrats need to create a worldwide “patchwork” of digital surveillance societies the place “nothing formally exists except it’s on-chain.” All worth is digital and the personal founder[s], by virtues of the supreme sovereignty they’ve bought with their funding, management their personal fiefdoms as CEO “kings” of the ruling firms. In impact, by exploiting digital know-how and, most notably, Synthetic Intelligence (AI), the NRx technocrats need to create a worldwide community of privately financed smart-cities.  

A wise-city may be stated to be “an city space the place know-how and knowledge assortment assist enhance [. . .] the sustainability and effectivity of metropolis operations. [. . .] Applied sciences to gather knowledge—together with real-time knowledge—are central to smart-city initiatives.” The target of smart-city design is to manage the city surroundings and its inhabitants’ behaviour. 

Taking a constructive view of smart-city behavioural management, researchers from the Indonesian Journal of Data Techniques and Informatics nonetheless famous: 

The affect of good metropolis know-how on shopper habits in city environments and  folks’s every day routines and life-style habits is critical. [. . .] The event of smart-cities via the appliance of varied applied sciences comparable to good transportation methods,  site visitors administration purposes, and good sensors [. . .] has modified the habits of individuals. [. . .] Thus, the appliance of good metropolis know-how not solely transforms metropolis infrastructure and providers, but additionally brings important modifications in citizen habits. 

Although behavioural management exercised by smart-city operators might probably be benign, it may be abused by despots to successfully program our lives. That’s actually what the NRx technocrats take note of—engineering the “unthinking demos” whose sovereignty might be handled with “derision.” Whatever the dangers, smart-cities are being constructed the world over. 

The China International Tv Community (CGTN) is a part of the state-run China Media Group. In July of this 12 months, CGTN reported how the Chinese language authorities was “accelerating” the event of smart-cities. CGTN revealed that Shenzhen received a world award for smart-city of the 12 months from the 2024 Sensible-Metropolis Expo World Congress (SCEWC).

The SCEWC emphasised how the congress was impressed with Shenzhen’s software of the Chinese language “Smarter Metropolis, Higher Life” coverage initiative that seeks to handle “city challenges” via the speedy deployment of know-how. Similar to the NRx technocrats within the West, Chinese language coverage assume tanks apparently see know-how as the answer; full cease.

The SCEWC stated: 

The initiative has pursued an aggressive digital transformation technique to handle these challenges throughout varied sectors. Key elements embrace the event of high-speed broadband networks, utilizing digital twin know-how to mannequin and handle metropolis methods, and integrating synthetic intelligence and data-driven governance into metropolis operations. [. . .] Town has additionally fostered an surroundings that encourages technological innovation and has attracted important funding from personal corporations creating smart-city applied sciences.

Once more, there is no such thing as a notable distinction between the stakeholder capitalist—public-private partnership—finance mannequin for smart-city development in China’s SEZs than that discovered wherever else. 

The SCEWC continued: 

Shenzhen has pioneered the “4321+X” mannequin for good neighborhood improvement, emphasizing integrating authorities networks, video networks, IoT sensor networks, and the web to create complete knowledge and repair platforms. These platforms present a basis for varied good metropolis purposes, together with public security administration, neighborhood governance, and the supply of public providers.

The 4321+X smart-city “neighborhood” is managed based mostly upon a set of clearly outlined processes. The “4” refers back to the integration of 4 knowledge networks: the federal government’s community, personal neighborhood CCTV networks, the web, and particularly the Web of Issues (IoT). The “3” pertains to the three areas of neighborhood exercise to be built-in inside and surveilled via the 4 networks: all enterprise, public safety (public conduct), and the native governance of providers, together with native safety providers. The “2” Refers to 2 main service sectors—referred to as “platforms”—that mix to impact the monitoring of the three key areas of exercise linked to the 4 networks. The 2 “platforms” are native authorities and legislation enforcement. 

Lastly, the “1” refers back to the grasp database which, when Distributed Ledger Expertise (DLT)—comparable to blockchain—is used, might be referred to as the “unified ledger.” The ledger ties all of the surveillance of your complete smart-city, combining 4, 3, and a pair of collectively, into one centrally administered smart-city system. The smart-city supposedly facilitates “X” which is the artificially clever supply of governance and providers to the citizen. 

The unified ledger (“1”) is monitored and managed by the “City Mind” or “Metropolis Mind” which is the central command system for the smart-city. The City Planning Society of China—a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that operates by approval from China’s Ministry of Development and Ministry of Civil Affairs—states that the aim of the “City Mind” is to allocate “public assets” and improve “social governance” as a way to present “new pathways for selling sustainable financial and social improvement.” 

As we famous in Half 1, China’s trendy technological innovation is overwhelmingly the results of public-private partnership. In Hangzhou, for example, the Metropolis Mind is managed by one international company:

Alibaba is the powerhouse of the know-how from knowledge platforms to advance analytics algorithm that allows all of the good metropolis software.

In NRx technocrat phrases, Alibaba Group is the sovereign company (sovcorp) of town of Hangzhou, with a substantial potential to doubtlessly management the lives of its 9 million residents or “clients.” As with all smart-city developments, the media solely experiences the realised or projected social advantages. The seemingly pitfalls are studiously ignored. To know the hazard all of us face, if we take to dwelling in such cities, we first want to contemplate how social credit methods are supposed to work.

There are a lot of, persistent myths peddled within the West about China’s Social Credit score System (SCS). The mainstream media will typically have you ever imagine that it’s already a totalitarian nightmare and a few within the impartial media will attempt to persuade you that’s doesn’t exist. The reality lies someplace in between. 

China is the one nation to have formally established an SCS, however it’s not the one nation to have carried out one. The aim of social credit score is to reward or punish citizen behaviour, not via the courts or any authorized course of, however via the improved or restricted entry to each private and non-private providers. Operation Choke Level within the US noticed the Division of Justice collaborate with personal banks to cut-off entry to finance for solely authorized small to medium dimension companies deemed to current a “reputational threat.” Equally, in Canada, the federal government labored with personal banks, and insurers to shut down the small companies of lawful and bonafide protestors. These are simply a few the numerous clear examples of SCS working within the West. 

China’s SCS was formally established in 2014. It’s a sprawling and sometimes complicated slew of presidency directives and rules that every provincial authority has to decipher and apply as greatest as it may. The overarching goal is to ascertain a measure of “societal creditworthiness.” This doesn’t simply imply “credit score” within the monetary sense. It pertains to the diploma of “trustworthiness” the state credit to its personal departments and native administrations, to companies and to people. 

China’s SCS refers to “entities,” that means each private and non-private organisations, together with companies. A lot of the SCS is concentrated upon cleansing up public sector corruption, eliminating the “untrustworthiness” of these entities as a way to promote a “harmonious” society. 

It additionally focuses on the “untrustworthiness” of people. An SCS goal is to “put untrustworthy people on a credit score blacklist.” One other is to develop on-line methods to judge particular person’s on-line social credit score “trustworthiness” and, for example, to punish those that interact in on-line “rumour-mongering;” it talks about methods to evaluate the “particular person character” of residents and the enforcement of “citizen morality.”

In China, a “pure individual” is a authorized assemble meaning a human being or citizen. In its 2025 introduced enhancements to its SCS, the Chinese language authorities inspired regional authorities to advertise “the credit score development of pure individuals” and to ascertain “sound credit score data of pure individuals.” 

Trying on the improvement of the smart-city in Shenzhen, and the dangers of pooling “large knowledge,” researchers from the Berlin Institute of Chinese language Research discovered: 

[T]he digital methods in Shenzhen entail a creeping centralisation of information that doubtlessly turns decrease administrative authorities models into mere customers of the city-level good platforms fairly than being accountable for their very own knowledge assets. Sensible metropolis improvement and massive knowledge ambitions thereby indicate shifting stakeholder relations on the native degree and likewise pull non-governmental stakeholders, comparable to info know-how corporations and analysis establishments, nearer to new knowledge flows and good governance methods.

In a world formed by stakeholder capitalism, “good governance methods” are invariably managed by the personal sector. Native governments grow to be the “mere customers” of the “Metropolis Brains” overseen by multinational firms. The evident goal is to hyperlink the behavioural management afforded by smart-city know-how to SCS.   

As identified by MIT Expertise Assessment in 2022, there’s at present no crushing, common social credit score rating in China that allows totalitarian management:

There’s no proof but that this technique has been abused for widespread social management (although it stays attainable that it might be wielded to harm particular person rights).

Certainly, smart-city know-how mixed with SCS actually might be wielded to socially engineer populations. The push in the direction of smart-city developments able to making use of SCS “guidelines” are under no circumstances restricted to China. It’s a international governance coverage agenda and the rollout of the mandatory digital infrastructure is worldwide. Although most of us are but to expertise the looming overt systematic oppression, this can be very unwise to disregard that incontrovertible fact that the seemingly digital panopticon is being erected round us.

If we settle for the continued transformation of the locations we reside into smart-cities and smart-suburbs, it’s the “belief” we could have positioned in our rulers, whoever they might be, that’s the salient challenge. We could have no alternative however to belief that the digital management methods we’ll reside in are purely for our profit. We should belief that the enforcement of the SCS guidelines might be equitable. There’s at present no cause to assume that would be the case. 

The potential city future that the oligarchs driving this agenda take note of is aligned with the ambitions of the NRx technocrats. It seems that our deliberate good city-state future is an envisioned tyranny. 

Intergovernmental Gov-corp Technates

The worldwide proliferation of SEZs supplies loads of attractive funding alternatives for NRx technocrats and different oligarchs (See Half 1). SEZs, nevertheless, are only one avenue for the potential location of gov-corp Technates. The worldwide transition towards urbanization presents many extra. 

Satirically, the United Nations (UN) each experiences on the rampant criminality widespread to many SEZ developments but additionally advocates the speedy and important growth of SEZs. As famous in Half 1, there’s at present little or no proof that SEZs ship socioeconomic progress. There’s appreciable proof that they seize nationwide territory and remodel it into efficient personal jurisdictions. 

But, in 2022, the UN established the International Alliance of Particular Financial Zones (GASEZ) to extend the SEZ international footprint. GASEZ claims:

Particular financial zones (SEZs) could make vital contributions to financial progress and sustainable improvement. Zones can assist entice funding, create jobs, enhance exports, and construct productive capability. [. . .] Collectively SEZs may be more practical in modernization and coverage advocacy, and convey on board stakeholders, together with governments, the personal sector and worldwide organizations.

Once more, there’s just about no proof to help GASEZ’ assertions about financial progress. The rationale the UN is captivated with SEZ hybrid zone/metropolis developments is that the UN considers them a more practical route for its international “coverage advocacy.” 

Launching GASEZ in 2022, the UN introduced: 

UNCTAD [United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ] joined arms with seven international, regional and nationwide associations representing over 7,000 particular financial zones (SEZs) to launch a worldwide alliance. [. . .] They [SEZs] go by many various names, together with free-trade zones and industrial parks, and are broadly utilized by developed and creating economies. The International Alliance of Particular Financial Zones (GASEZ) seeks to drive the modernization of those zones the world over and maximize their contribution to the UN Sustainable Growth Objectives (SDGs). [. . .] A brand new mannequin of sustainable particular financial zones is due to this fact quickly taking form and they’re contributing to extra inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies within the nations the place they function.

The UN calls the cities and cities we reside in “human settlements.” Constitution Cities, SEZs with residential capability, hybrid zone/metropolis developments, resilient cities, 15-minute cities, and many others., are all “human settlements” so far as the UN is anxious. Moreover, all such city renewal persistently embraces smart-city know-how. 

In 1977, the UN created the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) as a way to promote “socially and environmentally sustainable cities and cities.” UN-Habitat states: 

UN-Habitat is the point of interest for all urbanization and human settlement issues throughout the UN system. [. . .] UN-Habitat collaborates with governments, intergovernmental, UN businesses, civil society organizations, foundations, educational establishments and the personal sector to attain enduring ends in addressing the challenges of urbanization.

Urbanization is the method of the inhabitants shift from rural to city dwelling environments, or human settlements within the vernacular of the UN. UN-Habitat has wholeheartedly adopted the public-private partnership, or stakeholder capitalist, mannequin of improvement to handle “the challenges of urbanization.” 

In 2018, the UN Division of Financial and Social Affairs (UN DESA) reported the findings of its analysis into World Urbanization Prospects: 

As we speak, 55% of the world’s inhabitants lives in city areas, a proportion that’s anticipated to extend to 68% by 2050. Projections present that urbanization [. . .] mixed with the general progress of the world’s inhabitants might add one other 2.5 billion folks to city areas by 2050, with near 90% of this enhance happening in Asia and Africa. [. . .] By 2030, the world is projected to have 43 megacities with greater than 10 million inhabitants, most of them in creating areas [. . .] lots of them situated in Asia and Africa. [. . .] Because the world continues to urbanize, sustainable improvement relies upon more and more on the profitable administration of city progress, particularly in low-income and lower-middle-income nations the place the tempo of urbanization is projected to be the quickest.

With this urbanization prospectus in thoughts, and with a specific give attention to managing city improvement within the “International South”—an umbrella time period for creating nations wherever they’re situated—UN-Habitat launched its Strategic Plan 2020-2023: 

UN-Habitat, in its position as a focus, will name upon all improvement actors and stakeholders, [. . .] to work in live performance to help it in implementing its Strategic Plan. [. . .] An vital effort is required to rethink engagement with the personal sector to leverage funding in sustainable urbanization and to advertise extra acceptable fashions of improvement. 

The UN is raring to liberate personal finance as a way to assemble human smart-megacity settlements, particularly within the rising and creating markets of the International South, that meet UN sustainable urbanization targets. Sustainable Growth Aim 11—SDG 11—defines the international public-private partnership’s metropolis improvement agenda.   

The UN calls this its “New City Agenda.” The New City Agenda emphasises the significance of constructing “smart-cities” to satisfy SDGs: 

The New City Agenda requires know-how and communication networks to be strengthened and for smart-city approaches that use digitalization, clear power and applied sciences. [. . .]  Modern funding alternatives and partnerships have to be explored and the capability of native governments to successfully procure, take a look at and implement frontier applied sciences must be considerably strengthened. [. . .] To contribute successfully to city sustainability, frontier applied sciences and improvements have to be utilized. 

The “smart-city” is constructed by deploying so-called “frontier applied sciences” inside its infrastructure. A wise-city might be constructed from scratch or developed in an present metropolis or conurbation. The UN explains what smart-city frontier know-how it considers important for city sustainability: 

[Frontier technologies] at present embrace, amongst others, the Web of issues, sensor networks, machine-to-machine communication, robotics, synthetic intelligence, digital and augmented actuality, 3D printing, geographic info methods (GIS), distant sensing, autonomous unmanned automobiles, drones, blockchain, cryptographic computing, and massive knowledge processing and visualization.

The UN’s “frontier applied sciences” are, after all, precisely the sort of applied sciences that the NRx technocrats allege to be the technological answer to every thing (see Half 1). Gov-corp Technates are virtually indistinguishable from the hybrid zone/metropolis developments envisaged by the UN’s New City Agenda. 

The draw back, from humanity’s perspective, is that at each the worldwide intergovernmental degree and on the international multinational corporate-network degree, there’s a agency dedication to put in the biometric digital surveillance state that threatens to enslave us all. Although the UN calls this “sustainable improvement.” 

The International Governance Patchwork

Not solely is the UN amenable to the NRx technocrat’s digital panopticon plans, it additionally favours their “patchwork of realms” thought. The UN considers the way forward for international governance to put in centralised international authority exerted over a transnational community of city-states. Or, as UN-Habitat places it, “connectivity throughout city networks, between cities and their environment [. . .] should be strengthened. That requires a country-wide – and typically cross-border – method to improvement.”

The UN’s international governance mannequin has been transferring on this path or some time. In 2005, then London Mayor Ken Livingston convened the C20 metropolis community, inviting mayors from one other eighteen cities to work collectively to cut back so-called local weather air pollution (CO2 emissions). In 2006, the addition of twenty-two metropolis mayors created the C40 cities community. 

The C40 cities community is financed by, amongst others, the Kids’s Funding Fund Basis (CIFF) which is closely backed by the Gates Basis. The goal of CIFF is to enhance the lives of kids dwelling within the International South by “lobbying” their governments to create regulatory “enabling environments” to stimulate nationwide carbon buying and selling within the international Emissions Buying and selling Scheme (ETF) markets. 

One other outstanding C40 funder is Bloomberg Philanthropies, led by oligarch and former New York Metropolis mayor, Michael Bloomberg. All the time pushed by a dedication to UN international governance insurance policies, in 2011, C40 formalised its relationship with the UN by agreeing on a local weather motion partnership with the World Financial institution—a specialised company of the UN. Such UN partnerships are in step with UN ambitions to domesticate its international governance via a world community of city-states.  

In 2013, American political theorist Benjamin R. Barber (1939 – 2017) printed If Mayors Dominated the World: Dysfunctional Nations, Rising Cities. Barber contended that metropolis administrations had been extra carefully related to their populations and thus extra democratically consultant than nation-states. He argued that metropolis administrations, in nations around the globe, had extra in widespread with one another than that they had with their very own nationwide governments. Unencumbered by political divisions and nationwide rivalries, he posited that cities had been higher “constructing blocks of worldwide governance.”

Advocating a worldwide community of cities, Barber wrote: 

If democracy is to outlive globalization, imagining a worldwide democratic order with town at its core could also be essential. Envision not states however cities as constructing blocks for international governance. [. . .] International governance during which town predominates is the goal.

Evidently enthused by Barber’s imaginative and prescient, Michael Bloomberg introduced he was stepping down as Mayor of New York and arrange the primary CityLab summit in 2013. Mayors from cities around the globe had been invited to community and collaborate as a way to “trade concepts and sort out a number of the most pressing points affecting cities around the globe.” 

In 2014, a month after formally leaving workplace in New York, Bloomberg was appointed because the UN’s first Particular Envoy for Cities and Local weather Change. Thus strengthening the hyperlink between city improvement and the implementation of the worldwide governance agenda.

UN Secretary Common Ban Ki-moon stated the target of making the submit for Bloomberg was for the UN to seek the advice of “with mayors and associated key stakeholders” as a way to “mobilize motion amongst cities as a part of [the UN’s] long-term technique.” Already the president of the board of the C40 cities community, Bloomberg quickly established the Compact of Mayors committing metropolis leaders to implement UN SDGs. 

In 2016, the UN’s International Compact of Mayors joined with the same European Union’s (EU’s) Covenant of Mayors to grow to be the International Covenant of Mayors for Local weather and Power (GCoM). Presently appearing because the UN Secretary-Common’s Particular Envoy on Local weather Ambition and Options, Michael Bloomberg is the present co-chair of the GCoM. 

The GCoM established the INVEST4CITIES initiative to generate “large and focused funding” to assemble smart-cities. The personal sector funding alternative is ready to offer “$23 trillion in funding potential” by 2030. The general public sector’s (native authorities’s) position is to create “the enabling environments that help native funding.” The GCoM plan is that “large-scale financing devices” will fund “native implementation” of frontier applied sciences to assemble international governance (SDG) compliant smart-cities. 

In the identical 12 months (2016) that the GCoM was signed by a world community of mayors, Bloomberg created the International Parliament of Mayors (GPM) to offer the civic leaders formal international governance roles. The GPM was first mooted in 2013 by Bloomberg CityLab based mostly on Benjamin Barber’s “thought of a worldwide governance platform for cities.” Barber was personally concerned within the formation of the GPM and, when he died in 2017, the GPM created the annual Benjamin Barber Award, given to essentially the most international governance compliant mayor of the 12 months. 

The function of the GPM is to assault the supposed political sovereignty of nationwide governments and reimagine worldwide relations. The GPM champions “town’s proper to self-government” and promotes “collective metropolis decision-making throughout nationwide borders.” The GPM is “actively engaged in decision-making by worldwide organisations.” The GPM is the UN’s expression of Barber’s imaginative and prescient of “international governance during which town predominates.” 

In 2017, adopting the NRx technocrats’ accelerationism, the C40 community began implementing a lot of “Excessive-Affect Accelerators.” The C40 accelerators type one of many “venture pipelines” that contributes towards the GCoM’s INVEST4CITIES technique. 

The GCoM goals to “speed up metropolis and native authorities entry to monetary assets” by “eradicating limitations to investor-oriented local weather motion plans and initiatives, and unlocking large-scale financing devices to spice up city motion implementation.” As you’ll be able to think about, with $23 trillion of funding alternatives in sight, the envisaged ROI shouldn’t be solely mouthwatering, if the deliberate city-state is a startup venture it additionally guarantees oligarchs attainable metropolis possession rights (see Half 1). 

The UN Financial Fee for Europe (UNECE) convened the Day of Cities in 2019. Mayors from throughout, what the UN referred to as, “the area”—that means Europe—met to debate “methods to create good sustainable cities.” This resulted within the 2020 Geneva Declaration of Mayors. In response to a number of alleged international crises—the pseudopandemic, the local weather disaster, pure disasters, and many others.—the UNECE mayors famous how the worldwide coverage response to the pseudopandemic might be adopted as a mannequin for city improvement: 

[C]ities had been in lockdown – and lots of industries, transport networks and companies closed – we [. . .] began to expertise an unknown city life: higher air high quality, the return of nature to our cities, and empty streets giving area to cyclists and pedestrians. [. . .] The pandemic supplied a testing floor for what cities might seem like; the transformation of city areas occurred in a single day. If there is just one lesson to study from this disaster, it’s that speedy change of our city actuality is feasible [and] behaviour patterns may be tailored. [. . .] Sustainable Growth Aim (SDG) 11 requires motion to work in the direction of [. . .] resilient and sustainable cities – it’s now in our arms to put the SDGs on the centre of our restoration efforts and create new city realities.

As we speak, boasting “over 13,500 cities and native governments” from “6 continents and 147 nations” the GCoM alleges that it represents “greater than 1.2 billion folks.” It’s, nevertheless, laborious to see how GCoM “represents” anybody aside from its public-private “stakeholders.” One wonders how many individuals who elect their native and metropolis “representatives” in these GCoM coordinated cities and suburbs are informed that they’re consenting to international governance and the transformation of their communities into smart-city gov-corp Technates.

Empty streets, no vehicles, drone ports, driverless AI managed public transport, protein labs rising synthetic meals substitutes, augmented actuality, insect-based snacks, and new spiritual identities are a part of what main oligarch-led assume tank Chatham Home (The Royal Institute of Worldwide Affairs) predicted in 2021 with its notion of our Futurescape. Whether or not that is the long run city-life any of us need is irrelevant. At each degree, NRx technocrats and their fellow oligarchs view such “urbanization” because the pathway to establishing efficient international governance. 

That the UN considers societal lockdowns as an exemplar of what it calls a “higher city life” betrays the oligarchs’ true intentions. 

The International Governance of Sensible-Cities

The United Nations (UN) declares that it’s accountable for international governance. The UN additionally says that “governance” means: “the method of decision-making and the method by which choices are carried out.” Subsequently, the UN asserts that it’s the physique which makes and implements choices—which manifest as authorities coverage—for the world. 

UN-Habitat—the UN’s “point of interest for all urbanization and human settlement issues”—with its New City Agenda to remodel the city surroundings into a worldwide community of smart-cities, extols stakeholder capitalism and is eager to make use of the related public-private partnership mannequin. In 2022, UN-Habitat and the World Financial Discussion board (WEF) created the The International Partnership for Native Funding (GPLI). The GPLI instantly arrange the G20 International smart-cities Alliance and clarified its public-private function: 

Public-private collaborations mirror a type of oblique administration in public administration, the place [. . .] public, personal or non-profit companions make choices collectively. [. . .] Public-private collaborations can repurpose metropolis property for the deployment of digital infrastructure. [. . .] Bodily property, comparable to rooftops, utility poles, road lights, site visitors lights, ducts and extra, can grow to be good property and be used to drive efficiencies and new providers. Public areas and airspace can tackle new worth as know-how, comparable to drones, enabl[e] [sic] new use instances. 

UN-Habitat and the WEF spotlight the personal sector funding alternative for these with the wealth to capitalise on them—oligarchs: 

[S]mart-city providers can generate new income streams and income financial savings to be shared between companions. 

The Futurescape imagined by Chatham Home is underneath development with the help of the United Nations and the “main” multinational firms aligned underneath the WEF umbrella. It is usually a venture shared by the BRICS+ group of countries and their company companions. 

The BRICS have established the Common Meeting of Cities and Municipalities which can give attention to “inter-municipal cooperation” fairly than worldwide cooperation. Following the 2025 BRICS summit in Brazil, the BRICS group issued a joint assertion: 

One of many key matters shaping the way forward for the BRICS is the event of smart-cities supported by rising applied sciences, significantly synthetic intelligence (AI). [. . .] With the current growth of the BRICS to incorporate nations comparable to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Iran, the bloc is establishing itself as a number one platform for International South cooperation [. . .] significantly within the realm of sustainable urbanization pushed by applied sciences comparable to AI. [. . .] Synthetic intelligence is more and more being adopted in main BRICS cities, notably impacting city planning, public service administration, and civic engagement. China is on the forefront of creating AI-powered smart-cities, significantly in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

The BRICS+ group emphasises the significance of the BRICS New Growth Financial institution (NDB) to “finance sustainable infrastructure” and “enhance lending for AI-driven public service initiatives.” The group observes that “South-South cooperation via the BRICS creates lively dialogue.”

The UN considers cooperation within the “South-South”—referring to partnerships between Southern hemisphere nations—“a key improvement modality to speed up progress in the direction of reaching the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Growth.” The UN Workplace for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) collaborates strategically with the Islamic Growth Financial institution (IsDB). In flip, the IsDB has a detailed working partnership with the NDB. Each the IsDB and the NDB have joined seven different “Multilateral Growth Banks” (MDBs) to type a worldwide collaborative partnership coordinated by the UN’s World Financial institution Group: 

A a lot scaled up international effort is thus required to [. . .] sort out transboundary [meaning cross-national border] challenges. [. . .] We [Heads of MDBs] will deepen our collaboration round joint modern mechanisms for enhancing personal capital mobilization, each domestically and globally. [. . .] We acknowledge the necessity to discover additional avenues for strengthening mobilization of personal capital.

No matter the place you reside on the Earth, your authorities’s dedication to creating a worldwide community of good hybrid zone/cities financed by “personal capital” is unshakable as a result of your authorities is following a worldwide coverage agenda it didn’t create and can’t change. 

In Vietnam, for instance, the dedication to setting up smart-cities is critical. Vietnam’s state media, The Voice of Vietnam (VoV), experiences: 

Vietnam is present process a sweeping transformation with a transparent aim: to construct smart-cities that serve the folks. The hassle relies on nationwide methods just like the Sustainable smart-city Growth Plan 2018-2025 with a imaginative and prescient to 2030, the Nationwide Digital Transformation Program till 2025 with a imaginative and prescient to 2030, the E-Authorities Growth Technique towards a Digital Authorities, and Undertaking 06 on inhabitants knowledge and digital id.

The VoV states that residents in smart-cities can “report points on to authorities, who reply and take corrective motion.” Vietnamese digital smart-city residents can increase considerations referring to “public safety[,] environmental administration, healthcare, [. . .] schooling,” and extra by way of their put in smart-city app. The VoV enthusiastically notes that centrally situated AI monitored Clever Operations Facilities (IOCs)—City or Metropolis Brains—linked to peoples’ units and their Vietnam Digital Identification (VNeID), issued by Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Safety (MPS), successfully flip the Vietnamese smart-city residents’ “smartphones into ‘microphones.’” 

The VoV provides: 

Residents should additionally play their half: verifying VNeID at degree 2, importing private paperwork to their digital accounts, utilizing the nationwide portal [. . .] for public providers, downloading their native smart-city app, and utilizing cashless funds wherever attainable. Each faucet on a display lays one other brick in constructing Vietnam’s imaginative and prescient of contemporary, clever, habitable cities for the long run.

The state taking nearly unimaginable management of each “citizen’s” life is a part of Vietnam’s digital transformation plan—Undertaking 06. The Vietnamese authorities has already began the method of freezing as much as 86 million of Vietnam’s estimated 200 million banks accounts except they’re “verified” utilizing state accepted digital ID (biometric authentication or VNeID). So clearly, each citizen “should” comply and the digital transformation, regardless of all of the fluffy rhetoric about inclusion, is avowedly exclusionary.  

Undertaking 06 is led by the State Financial institution of Vietnam (SBV) working carefully with the Ministry of Public Safety (MPS). A significant a part of the position of the MPS is to make sure social order and to gather, analyse and consider info with a view to “forestall, detect and defeat any plots and acts of violation in opposition to nationwide safety and get rid of any threats to nationwide safety,” to guard the “Get together” and the “State,” and to “implement worldwide commitments and obligations.”

The digital surveillance plan has been promoted by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and different authorities officers, however the Undertaking 06 coverage initiative didn’t originate with the Vietnamese authorities. With its said “imaginative and prescient to 2030,” Undertaking 06 is firmly rooted within the United Nations’ (UN’s) international governance agenda. 

The Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Growth famous that the nation’s digital transformation will contribute to the discount of (CO2) emissions, although it’s clearly designed to allow state surveillance of the inhabitants. Talking in January this 12 months, UN Underneath-Secretary-Common Amandeep Singh Gill stated he was impressed with Vietnam’s public-private partnership (multistakeholder) method to “harness digital applied sciences for inclusive, sustainable improvement.”

He added: 

I noticed with my very own eyes how Viet Nam is pushing ahead strongly and proactively within the areas of digital transformation and AI. [. . .] [F]rameworks are wanted to make sure that everybody advantages from the technical development, and that nobody is left behind. [. . .] The International Digital Compact presents such a framework on the international degree, and Viet Nam’s willingness to play an lively position in key areas of the [sic] is welcomed and appreciated by the United Nations.

The International Digital Compact, adopted with no vote in September 2024 by UN member states as an annex to the UN’s Pact for the Future, is the UN’s “international framework” to facilitate “multi-stakeholder motion” to allow “the attainment of the Sustainable Growth Objectives.” The UN outlined “digital public items” as software program, knowledge, AI fashions, and all content material printed on-line. Additional, it determined that “digital public infrastructure” primarily meant all {hardware} and the bodily infrastructure for all digital communication methods. 

The UN stated that it thought-about “digital public items and digital public infrastructure to be key drivers of inclusive digital transformation and innovation.” It added that “[g]overnments, the personal sector, civil society, technical and educational communities and worldwide and regional organizations” ought to work collectively to to “leverage digital public items and digital public infrastructure to advance options for the Sustainable Growth Objectives.”  

In different phrases, the UN determined that the web and digital know-how, in its entirety, needs to be leveraged to ship the UN’s international governance coverage agendas. The UN invited the “personal sector and philanthropic actors [oligarchs]” to finance the digital transformation.

Populations may not need to go together with the digital transformation of their world, nor the diploma of public-private state surveillance foisted upon them. Maybe anticipating some pushback, the UN determined that something that questioned its transformative international governance agenda constituted a “type of violence” it calls “misinformation and disinformation”: 

We should urgently counter and handle all types of violence, together with [. . .] all types of hate speech and discrimination, misinformation and disinformation. [. . .] We decide to, by 2030, [. . .] assess the impression of misinformation and disinformation on the achievement of the Sustainable Growth Objectives. [. . .] We additional urgently [. . .] [c]all on social media platforms to offer researchers entry to knowledge [. . .] to construct an proof base on methods to handle misinformation and disinformation and hate speech that may inform authorities and business insurance policies, requirements and greatest practices

The concept that governments and personal firms ought to type “insurance policies” to handle “misinformation and disinformation” would possibly sound affordable at first, however that every one relies upon upon who decides what constitutes misinformation and disinformation. The UN is evident that misinformation and disinformation incudes info that undermines its insurance policies associated to “public well being and local weather motion.” 

Questioning the worldwide digital transformation that’s designed to “advance options for the Sustainable Growth Objectives” threatens “local weather motion” and is due to this fact disinformation that governments and personal firms ought to “counter and handle.” Governments around the globe are implementing legal guidelines and rules to seize management of the knowledge we will share with that aim in thoughts.

In fact, this might not be extra anti-democratic, however governments function practical oligarchies not democracies. Not one of the governments which have handed or intend to go on-line censorship legal guidelines are the instigators of those insurance policies or legislative strikes. They emanate from the worldwide governance of the UN and its businesses the place actual Orbital Authority is exercised. 

Actual Orbital Authority

In Half 1, we mentioned NRx technocrat Curtis Yarvin’s metaphorical exploration of worldwide authorities that he termed “Orbital Authority.” The worldwide transformation of our city environments is already being propelled by such authority. 

It’s an oligarch-led public-private, or multistakeholder, international governance authority. Oligarch-backed coverage assume tanks, comparable to Bloomberg’s CityLab, and the state-funded public-private partnership assume tanks, just like the China Academy of Data and Communications Expertise (CAICT), type the coverage and design the corresponding implementation initiatives. 

The CAICT calls itself “a specialised think-tank for the federal government and an innovation and improvement platform for the business.” The CAICT acts as an “enabler for innovation and improvement in an info society.” It’s a public-private partnership that “performs an vital position in technique and coverage” with respect to the digital transformation in China.

Chinese language state media not too long ago reported China’s official launch of its plan to offer “processing assets throughout China,” to hyperlink Metropolis Brains and different smart-city components collectively in a “mega computing venture” that can create regional knowledge hubs. From the experiences, you’d think about that the CPC was main the rollout. That impression is deceptive. It was the CAICT that proposed the idea of the “Nationwide Built-in Computing Energy and Community Scheduling Platform” that has given rise to the reportedly state-led mega computing venture. 

The CAICT can also be a UN accomplice with an settlement in place to implement the “digital transformation aligned with the Sustainable Growth Objectives” throughout Africa. African governments should not designing “Africa’s digital future” any greater than China’s authorities is heading the “digital transformation” in China. The transformation is a worldwide governance agenda, far past the affect of any voters or inhabitants, and nationwide governments’ position is merely to create the enabling surroundings (see Half 1) to ascertain the resultant international governance.

The UN absolutely backs and promotes this worldwide digital transformation. As well as, the UN has already established international governance constructions “during which town predominates.” This unwavering transformation of the worldwide polity and societal norms is exactly what the NRx technocrats need and are dedicated to reaching. The Orbital Authority that Curtis Yarvin deems vital for “hundreds of impartial sovereign states and city-states” to “flourish” is being constructed by the UN and its multinational company “stakeholders.” 

The UN is predominantly an oligarch-led venture. In 2014, professor of worldwide historical past Ludovic Tournès, writing for The Journal of Fashionable European Historical past, highlighted the numerous affect of the Rockefellers in establishing the United Nations. Within the late Nineteen Fifties, the Rockefeller-funded Particular Research Undertaking started publishing its findings, culminating within the 1961 publication of the total report titled “Prospect for America: The Rockefeller Panel Stories.” 

Searching for to strengthen UN international governance, The Rockefeller Research Undertaking beneficial dividing the world “into smaller models” that will “encompass regional establishments underneath a world physique of rising authority [the UN]” (web page 26). The researchers in the end beneficial:

Probably the most pure multination preparations are continuously regional. [. . .] We imagine that this regional method has world-wide validity. [. . .] What is required instantly is a dedication to maneuver within the path they indicate. Regional preparations are not a matter of alternative. They’re imposed by the necessities of know-how, science, and economics. Our course is to contribute to this course of by constructive motion [pages 188–190].

The concept of a worldwide governance system, based mostly upon a regional steadiness of energy, had been pursued by a trans-Atlantic oligarch community—of which the Rockefellers are main members—because the early twentieth century. As a part of the method of “constructive motion” to ascertain this new world order, in 1965 the Rockefellers convened an worldwide convention at their Villa Serbelloni mansion in Bellagio, Italy. As we speak referred to as the Bellagio Middle, the 1965 assembly on the Villa arrange the Membership of Rome coverage assume tank which solidified as “a core group of like-minded thinkers” in 1968. 

In September 1973, the Membership of Rome proposed a worldwide governance mannequin that divided the world into ten areas. Of their report, titled  “Regionalized and Adaptive Mannequin of the International World System,” they described these international governance areas as “Kingdoms.” 

The identical 12 months, David Rockefeller co-founded the Trilateral Fee coverage assume tank with US political scientist and coverage advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Unsurprisingly, the Trilateral Fee claims the authority to “have an effect on [. . .] international coverage and nationwide safety methods,” throughout three international areas it calls pillars: North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The present mannequin of regional Kingdoms—“pillars” or “poles”—is often known as multipolarity and the ensuing Multipolar World Order (MWO) is alleged to be in prospect.  

The Munich Safety Convention (MSC) is the premier worldwide public-private safety coverage convention the place predominantly, however not completely, Western “decision-makers” meet yearly to community and type worldwide defence and safety coverage. The MSC 2025 report informs us that there’s a “altering international distribution of energy,” including {that a} “multipolar world holds important promise.” Nonetheless, it additionally notes that the brand new multipolar international governance paperwork should not impede “joint approaches to international crises and threats.” 

The MSC decided that “depolarization [. . .] might set multipolarity on a constructive observe,” the place “depolarization” refers back to the course of of countries accepting their sociopolitical and maybe cultural variations however aligning to their respective “poles” as a way to handle “international crises” via collective motion. To clarify its “depolarization” level, on behalf of the MSC “decision-makers” it represents, the MSC report referenced the 2023 feedback of then German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz who stated, as a way to “hold multilateralism alive in a multipolar world,” it was important to take care of “higher participation in, and integration into, the worldwide order.” In different phrases, depolarization is multipolar decentralisation resulting in higher centralisation throughout the international “order.” 

This is identical decentralization to recentralization trick (see Half 1) favoured by the NRx technocrats. Depolarization shouldn’t be reworking international governance by probability. Influential oligarch-led coverage assume tanks, such because the UK-based Chatham Home and its sister organisation, the US Council on Overseas Relations (CFR), have been attempting to create the depolarized regional steadiness of energy international governance system for greater than a century. 

The Council on Overseas Relations is among the many many Western oligarch-led assume tanks to have persistently promoted multipolarity. In 2023, a group of CFR analysts expressed their opinion about what would represent the proper “pole” in a Multipolar World Order: 

The EU [European Union] is a networked union that enables its members to behave collectively in some methods and aside in others. The EU [. . .] has way more energy over its members, which stay sovereign states, than every other regional entity. It’s considered one of a sort. [. . .] The EU has developed a template that different regional organizations are following and customizing in varied methods. [. . .] Overseas coverage practitioners ought to hope these blocs succeed. Highly effective regional unions are the mandatory intermediaries between worldwide or international establishments and state and native governments.

In line with the CFR, the European Union (EU) presents us with the best “template” for a MWO pole. Talking on the 2025 Munich Safety Convention, H.E. Wang Yi, Director of the CPC’s Committee Overseas Affairs, careworn that “China has all the time seen in Europe an vital pole within the multipolar world.” China is at present main the push to create an Asian Union. The CPC and the CFR seem like in settlement on the proper “pole.”  

Although nation-states supposedly stay “sovereign,” the EU-pole exerts “energy over its members”—constituent governments. This CFR argument is self-contradictory nonsense. The governments of nation-states can’t probably be each “sovereign” and, on the identical time, subservient to the management of their “pole.” It’s unconscionable to think about that the CFR analysts don’t recognize this level. What they provide is MWO propaganda. 

The entire level of the regional “pole,” or “union,” is to behave as a very pointless “intermediar[y] between worldwide or international establishments and [. . .] governments.” The CFR defines “worldwide or international establishments” because the UN, its specialised businesses, and teams just like the Worldwide Financial Fund and the the G20 (Group of Twenty). 

Now we have simply mentioned the G20 International smart-city Alliance. It embraces stakeholder capitalism,  the place governments and their personal sector companions “make choices collectively [to] repurpose metropolis property for the deployment of digital infrastructure.” Given the UN dedication to international governance the place “town predominates,” the discernable nature of the true “Orbital Authority” is materializing. 

Governments which are practical oligarchies (see Half 1) are being subsumed into regional poles inside a Multipolar World Order that has been actively sought by generations of globalist oligarchs. The poles will empower public-private “worldwide organisations”—dominated by personal capital (oligarchs)—to set coverage for the regional pole’s member state, thereby eradicating any significant expression of nationwide sovereignty. Concurrently, privately financed smart-city “zones” are being carved out of nation-states as international governance strikes towards “collective metropolis decision-making throughout nationwide borders.”

Curtis Yarvin’s “Orbital Authority” was a metaphor, however there’s nothing metaphorical concerning the deliberate, oligarch-led transformation of our world. What they’re setting up mirrors the “patchwork” of community states—gov-corp Technates—proposed by the NRx technocrats. The goal is the digital enslavement of humanity to the asserted authority of personal capital. Removed from resisting this rising tyranny, governments are willingly hastening the method as a result of they’re practical oligarchies. 

Understanding the sort of feudalistic tyranny they portend, who would ever select to reside in a gov-corp Technate? Sadly, thousands and thousands of essentially the most susceptible folks on earth don’t have a lot alternative relating to the place they reside and designers of the gov-corp Technates are targetting them to be amongst their first “clients.” 

Orbital Authority Over Refugees

In 2025, the UN Excessive Fee for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that refugee migration in 2024 was “pushed by battle, persecution, human rights violations, and instability.” Refugees fled man-made warfare zones, man-made financial destruction, and man-made persecution—overwhelmingly from nations within the co-called International South—however there is no such thing as a signal of individuals fleeing any local weather disaster, anthropogenic or in any other case. 

In fact, folks have to flee pure disasters comparable to floods and forest fires. However there is no such thing as a proof of any upward pattern in both the frequency or severity of climate associated pure disasters. Once more, all too typically, we discover that the deadly scale of, for instance, catastrophic flooding, although undoubtedly attributable to excessive climate occasions, is exacerbated by very poor planning choices. However, because the UNHCR experiences, local weather change shouldn’t be a driver of mass migration. 

But, the UN and its companions always seek advice from refugees as largely escaping the “local weather disaster.” As there aren’t any local weather refugees, the core PR message on the contrary is designed to supposedly justify and facilitate the worldwide governance agenda— the Sustainable Growth Objectives (SDGs). That there is no such thing as a proof of any local weather disaster is irrelevant. Our collective perception within the propaganda is all that issues. 

Again in 2018, shortly earlier than the UN adopted the International Compact on Migration, on the annual UN convened Mayoral Discussion board on Human Mobility, Migration and Growth, civic leaders from eighty cities fashioned the UN’s Mayors Migration Council (MMC). The MMC is a sponsored venture of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors that goals to make “a tangible distinction within the lives of city migrants, displaced folks, and receiving communities worldwide.” It additional proclaims that it “accelerates formidable international motion on migration and displacement to create a world the place city migrants, displaced folks, and receiving communities can thrive.”

NRx technocrat accelerationism (see Half 1) is now enmeshed in all ranges of worldwide governance. Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors overtly declares that its “mission is to speed up philanthropy in pursuit of a simply world by offering deep international experience.” It’s straightforward to think about that the ever present use of the time period “speed up,” or variations thereof, is only a reflection of in vogue terminology, however it’s omnipresent and we’d be naive to miss its ideological significance. 

The UN outlines its function in its related International Compact: 

Our Ambition is to: Speed up and scale the worldwide collective impression of enterprise by [. . .] delivering the SDGs via accountable corporations and ecosystems that allow change.

To this finish, the UN provides: 

The United Nations International Compact is main Accelerators to embed SDG-aligned practices deep into enterprise operations and throughout the worth chain to speed up progress and impression for the 2030 Agenda. Obtainable to taking part corporations of the UN International Compact, the Accelerators are run in shut collaboration with International Compact Nation Networks and are designed with a view to producing habits change throughout a lot of corporations on the native degree – reaching most impression and scale.

The UN’s International Compact is a supposedly “non-binding” coverage agenda, first adopted by the United Nations in 2000. The Compact shouldn’t be targeted on intergovernmental cooperation and has just about nothing to do with nation-states. The UN describes it as “the world’s largest company sustainability venture.” 

Agenda 21 can also be a non-binding “plan of motion” that, in 1992, laid the foundations for the worldwide sustainable improvement. The Agenda 21 international coverage agenda has formed the lives of practically everybody on earth in subsequent years. The UN coordinates coverage globally and calling its coverage agendas “non-binding” is meaningless if the general public sector and the personal sector rigidly adhere to them.  

The UN is decided to create “international governance during which town predominates.” Consequently, the MMC has been empowered by the UN to “affect coverage choices on the nationwide and worldwide degree.” As NRx technocrat accelerationism pervades just about every thing the UN does, the MMC says that it “accelerates international motion on migration and displacement.” 

The MMC has established job forces with different city-state networks, C40 for instance, to handle the migration attributable to the local weather disaster, regardless of the truth that the UN concedes there aren’t any local weather refugees. As well as, so far as the MMC is anxious, worldwide relations based mostly on Westphalian sovereignty is a “damaged system” and it has due to this fact created the monetary pathway for buyers to straight fund city-state plans for refugees. 

The MMC’s International Cities Fund for Migrants and Refugees is ready to remodel the damaged system by straight funding city-states. The Cities Fund presents worldwide donors an funding “pipeline” to avoid nationwide governments and straight channel “worldwide assets to metropolis governments.” That is to allow “metropolis governments and their native companions to implement initiatives of their very own design.” 

The main focus of the funding is to help “metropolis governments” to handle “their migrant and displaced communities.” The funding pipeline will create a “a market of city-led options” and the explanation for all of that is to make sure the UN’s “International Compacts for Migration” is carried out. 

The UN claims that its International Compact on Migration (GCM) is grounded within the “values of state sovereignty.” As we have now simply mentioned, there’s scant proof of that. As a substitute, the International Compact seeks to use a “widespread method to worldwide migration in all its dimensions.” 

These dimensions are encapsulated within the twenty-three GCM Aims. The primary Goal is to reap as a lot knowledge as attainable from refugees and financial migrants. The third is to develop methods for the sharing of that knowledge with stakeholders. This accompanies Goal 4, which seeks to drive “all migrants [to] have proof of authorized id,” by which the UN means digital ID. On the metropolis or “municipal” degree, the UN needs to make use of migrants to implement digital ID as a method of exclusion: 

Construct upon present practices on the native degree that facilitate participation in neighborhood life, comparable to interplay with authorities and entry to related providers, via the issuance of registration playing cards to all individuals dwelling in a municipality, together with migrants, that include primary private info.

That’s to say, everybody’s “participation in neighborhood life” and everybody’s entry to providers might be contingent on you having a UN-approved, suitable digital ID. 

As we have now repeatedlydiscussed, the UN’s personal analysis clearly exhibits that there is no such thing as a local weather crisis-related immigration. Goal 2 is concentrated upon “minimising the drivers” of migration flows however identifies just about none however the alleged migration impacts of the so-called local weather disaster.

Of the twelve clauses to Goal 2, only one briefly mentions “battle” however solely to the extent of “bearing in mind related suggestions from State-led consultative processes, such because the Tips to Shield Migrants in International locations Experiencing Battle.” Regardless of understanding full properly that individuals need to flee from warfare, persecution, and poverty, not local weather change, the UN’s GCM, supposedly designed to help the dispossessed and essentially the most susceptible refugees, has virtually nothing to say about tackling any of the precise underlying causes of their plight.  

Even goal 7, to “cut back vulnerabilities in migration,” says nothing about persecution, impoverishment, or battle. As a substitute it insists upon offering refugees with “identification,” presumably as a result of humanitarian help merely can’t be supplied in any other case. Refugee kids needs to be added to nationwide id methods and “stakeholders” needs to be absolutely engaged within the little one’s identification course of. 

The unmistakable function of the UN’s GCM “Aims” is to use immigration to cement the UN’s international governance agenda. That is starkly highlighted by “Goal 19: Create circumstances for migrants and diasporas to totally contribute to sustainable improvement in all nations.” 

The UN needs to “harness the advantages of migration as a supply of sustainable improvement.” The principle aim is to: 

Guarantee the total and efficient implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Growth [. . .] by fostering and facilitating the constructive results of migration for the conclusion of all Sustainable Growth Objectives

The UN’s marked lack of any real concern for the predicament of refugees is unhealthy sufficient however, after we then think about who it chooses as its “companions” to help with its deliberate migration, the fact that dawns is abdomen churning. 

Refugee Gov-Corp Technates

Titus Gebel is the previous Chairman of the Board of the Patri Friedman’s Seasteading Institute—a joint venture between Peter Thiel and Friedman—and a accomplice at NeWay Capital. He’s the founding father of Tipolis Inc and a number one investor in and authorized advisor to Próspera, having beforehand acted as a authorized advisor for the Honduran authorities’s unique ZEDE program (see Half 1). 

In 2018, Gebel printed Free Personal Cities: Making Governments Compete For You. His ebook outlines how personal firms—i.e. Yarvin’s sovcorps—can present “authorities as a service.” He steered that clients ought to signal a contract in return for the governance they obtain from their sovcorp. Governance suppliers, in varied city-states, would compete for patrons (residents) who can be free to depart, topic to contract, in the event that they didn’t just like the personal authorities service on provide of their zone (gov-corp Technate). 

It appears Gebel primarily plagiarised the NRx technocrat’s concepts, first put ahead by Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land a couple of decade earlier than Gebel took credit score for his supposedly “fully new” gov-corp Technate mannequin. Clearly an NRx technocrat, Gebel established Tripolis Inc—within the tax haven of Singapore—as a way to create new fashions of modern governance. By way of Tripolis Inc, Gebel, and his coterie of angel investor companions, hope to grow to be the “proprietor[s] and operator[s]” of their very own Worldwide Cities:

Worldwide Cities are privately run communities, based mostly on clear contracts, which offer, allow and facilitate alternative and selection. Worldwide Cities might be established at a number of areas around the globe. [. . .] Worldwide Cities construct on the idea of Particular Administrative Areas (SARs) and are the subsequent evolution of Particular Financial Zones (SEZs). [. . .] Worldwide Cities might be thriving hubs of enterprise and innovation.

Particular Administrative Areas (SARs) had been formulated by the Chinese language authorities underneath Deng Xiaoping as a part of its “one nation, two methods” coverage. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan had been legally designated SARs by the Chinese language authorities within the early Nineteen Eighties. The intention was to offer regulatory autonomy to hopefully reunified territories, although Taiwan has but to decide to reunification. That Gebel considers the bigger SARs as “the subsequent evolution” of SEZs speaks to the territorial ambitions of these pursuing the city-state agenda. 

Gebel can also be an advisor to the Swiss-based Andan Basis led by its founder Dr Christian H. Kälin (or Kaelin). The Andan Foundations explains its function: 

Andan leads personal sector initiatives to help households fleeing their properties on account of warfare, inside battle, and local weather change. It identifies and develops modern, sustainable options. [. . .] Andan prioritizes initiatives that increase financial, monetary, and political alternatives for each refugee populations and the communities that welcome them. Andan facilitates and propels partnerships between the personal sector and UN businesses, governments, NGOs, and educational establishments involved with refugees and migrants. 

Andan proposes a enterprise that capitalises on the “alternatives” offered by refugees, asylum seekers and financial migrants. The Basis provides that its “foremost, long-term venture is the Andan Free International Metropolis venture—or “Worldwide Metropolis” as Gebel would name it—which it says has the potential to “fully upend and reform how we take care of the rising international refugee and migration disaster”:

As we speak, the world is spending billions of {dollars} every year in dead-end, protracted refugee administration with camps and concrete settings. [. . .] We goal at a minimum of fully flip round the way in which we have a look at refugees and migrants. [. . .] What we’d like is once more a protected harbour, a brand new place the place refugees and different migrants pressured to depart their properties obtain the chance to reside. [. . .] We want free International Cities – autonomous, self-governed subnational entities that present a protected surroundings. [. . .] We’re additionally actively engaged with a number of governments around the globe, in addition to with a couple of main buyers who’re ready to finance the institution of the primary free International Metropolis, which may also present an honest return on capital from personal buyers.

Kälin, an advisor to the Swiss authorities amongst others, suggests studying a 2022 article by Albert Steck to actually get a really feel for what he, Gebel and different worldwide NRx technocrats are proposing:

[Kälin] sees his Andan International Metropolis not solely as a humanitarian venture, but additionally as a worthwhile enterprise thought. [. . .] In Kälin’s metropolis [refugees] can be motivated staff and founders of companies. [. . .] [Kälin is] in talks with representatives of the U.N. and the World Financial Discussion board. [. . .] The most important problem is discovering a rustic that can present an uninhabited or sparsely populated territory for an autonomous metropolis, he says. [. . .] Initially, a number of tens of hundreds of individuals might reside there – with the prospect that it’d in the end grow to be a metropolis of thousands and thousands. Personal financing is due to this fact essential to the success of such a big venture, says entrepreneur Titus Gebel. [. . .] Gebel, who was born in Germany, can also be the founding father of the Free Cities Basis, which works to ascertain particular financial zones in varied nations, following the instance of Shenzhen in China or the European free cities within the Center Ages. 

Like all NRx technocrat fronts, the Andan Basis staunchly advocates digital ID and means that blockchain “has the potential to create new options for refugee and identification methods” and that digital ID, saved on a unified ledger, needs to be “straight accessible to refugees and immigrants.” As soon as the refugee’s digital twin is operational, the refugees can function “motivated staff” within the Free International Metropolis—gov-corp Technate. Presumably, ought to they be insufficiently motivated, their  entry to cash and meals “might be frozen” and so they might be “locked out of all doorways” to important providers till they rediscover the right motivation. 

Christian Kälin can also be the Chairman of Henley & Companions, a UK based mostly consultancy that specialises in a profitable enterprise which Kälin claims to have “pioneered.” Henley & Companions touts itself as “the world’s foremost specialists in funding migration and citizenship-by-investment.” 

Serving a clientele of “internationally cell entrepreneurs and buyers,” Henley & Companions (H&P) says that it helps “high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth people” to acquire “bespoke residence and citizenship by funding.” Basically, Kälin and H&P advises “ultra-high-net-worth people”—together with oligarchs—the place to speculate as a way to purchase residency visas and citizenship after which manages the appliance course of for them. 

The historical past of “citizenship-by-investment” (CBI) schemes shouldn’t be very edifying. For instance, Paolo Zampolli, President Trump’s international envoy for particular partnerships, was evidently concerned in a seemingly corrupt CBI scheme that offered Dominican Republic residency to Chinese language billionaires, comparable to Ng Lap Seng, who had been underneath investigation by the UN for bribing UN officers. John Ashe, the previous president of the UN Common Meeting, was additionally suspected of involvement however died in a particularly weird bar-bell “accident” shortly earlier than he was on account of testify within the case. 

Kälin has been dubbed the “Passport King” for his pioneering efforts within the CBI area. Nonetheless, in accordance to US-based Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Undertaking (OCCRP), H&P has been concerned in quite a few corrupt CBI schemes. As an illustration, within the Caribbean nation of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis between 2006 and 2013. 

The St. Kitts and Nevis Sugar Trade Diversification Basis (SIDF) was “arrange in 2006 to maneuver the island economic system away from dependence on sugar.” The SIDF turned agricultural land into improvement land. The acquisition of territory was funded by the federal government and H&P’s “high-net-worth” shoppers in search of residency in St. Kitts and Nevis, lots of whom had felony ties or had been needed in varied jurisdictions. 

Cash from the SIDF fund was then directed to put money into corporations that Kälin was carefully related to. H&P insisted there was no battle of curiosity. The SIDF grew to become inoperative round 2017 and, with vital agricultural land misplaced and no signal of any return on the federal government’s SIDF funding, the OCCRP famous that the “final losers had been the folks of St. Kitts and Nevis.”

Kälin was seemingly the financier behind the Strategic Communications Laboratories Group’s (SCL’s) 2010 re-election marketing campaign for then St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Denzil Douglas. In 2018, an interim UK parliamentary investigatory report issued by the highly effective Digital, Media, Tradition and Sports activities Committee (DMCSC) famous: 

211. We had been informed, behind a lot of SCL Elections’ campaigning work was the hidden hand of Christian Kalin, Chairman of Henley and Companions, who organized for buyers to produce the funding to pay for campaigns, after which organised SCL to write down their manifesto and oversee the entire marketing campaign course of. In trade [. . .] Henley and Companions would acquire unique passport rights for that nation, underneath a citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programme.[. . .] Christian Kalin [has] been described as having a ‘Faustian pact’. With the unique passport rights got here a authorities that will be conducive to Mr. Kalin and his shoppers. 

The British defence contractor SCL is the mother or father firm of the infamous Cambridge Analytica (CA)that was broadly accused of manipulating the 2016 US presidential elections and the UK “BREXIT” referendum on leaving the European Union (EU). The CA operation additionally illegitimately acquired the information of thousands and thousands of Fb customers. Therefore, the UK parliamentary investigation. 

CA, and thus SCL, is evidently related to Peter Thiel’s Palantir. As CA’s suspected election manipulation, and what was tantamount to knowledge theft, got here underneath worldwide scrutiny, Palantir disavowed that connection. However, when the New York Instances revealed that considered one of its staff—Palantir enterprise supervisor Alfredas Chmieliauskas—had labored with CA to type “behavioural profiles” of voting social media customers, Palantir modified its assertion and stated Mr Chmieliauskas was not appearing on Palantir’s behalf on the time, although he was a Palantir worker all through the interval. 

H&P’s CBI schemes weren’t restricted to the Caribbean. They’ve reportedly been discovered to be wholly corrupt in Cyprus, for example. When, in 2017, Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia began to reveal H&B’s involvement in Malta’s corrupt Particular person Investor Programme (IIP)—Malta’s CBI scheme—subsequent inquiry hearings revealed emails indicating that H&P instigated a Strategic Lawsuits in opposition to Public Participation (SLAPP) in opposition to her. It appears H&P supposed to file the lawsuit within the UK as a result of they needed a “sympathetic decide.” Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was additionally instrumental in reporting the Panama Papers, was assassinated in a automobile bombing in Malta in October 2017. 

Extra not too long ago, the European Court docket of Justice (ECJ) has dominated the Maltese CBI scheme unlawful. As an EU member state, a Maltese passport supplied some questionable “ultra-high-income people” with EU citizenship. It’s not with out justification that the ECJ characterised CBI schemes, together with these run by H&B, as making “the acquisition of nationality a mere business transaction.” 

Kälin, who conceded that some H&B shoppers had been “downside[s]” who fell via H&B’s claimed “due diligence” checks, was undeterred by the ECJ ruling. He was enthused by the worldwide growth of CBI schemes and, particularly, the Trump administration’s plan to challenge everlasting residency visas to anybody who can afford the $5 million price ticket. If he needs to maneuver to the US, Kälin might actually afford a US “gold card.” 

Fours years earlier, In 2021, quite a few hedge funds confronted potential wreck on account of the GameStop quick squeeze. When Reddit customers seen the mass shorting of inventory within the the GameStop chain of high-street shops, they apparently spiked demand for the inventory and pushed the worth up by coordinating large-scale inventory purchases. Thus leaving these with quick positions—betting the inventory worth would fall—uncovered to monumental losses. By means of his firm Arnova Capital, Christian Kälin consequently made a fortune on the GameStop inventory his firm held. He additionally precisely predicted, earlier than any WHO announcement of a worldwide pandemic, that power costs would soar throughout the pseudopandemic. Kälin’s 2000% ROI on his preliminary funding in Arnova Capital is really exceptional. 

The Andan Basis, based by Kälin and suggested by Gebel, that seeks to revenue from refugee migration by establishing Free International Cities, is a “long-standing” accomplice of the United Nations. The aim of the partnership is to “propel and facilitate the personal sector’s involvement,” in managing worldwide refugee migration with a view to create “private and non-private initiatives that create long-term options for refugees.” 

The appalling stench of neocolonialism exudes from each a part of the UN’s international migration coverage agenda. The oligarch-led UN public-private partnership is implementing a technique that goals to use migrants and refugees to attain UN targets. There isn’t a severe try and do something to handle the issues that trigger mass migration. The migrant is solely a “human useful resource” to be recognized, stamped and relocated into communities the world over as a way to obtain UN coverage targets. 

The UN needs to assemble a worldwide community smart-city gov-corp Technates as a result of that too will higher facilitate the rollout of its international governance; it has fashioned partnerships with NRx technocrats who need to use the displaced as a workforce and who view refugee “residency” of their gov-corp Technates as a “worthwhile enterprise thought;” the UN is supporting and inspiring the nationwide governments handy over territory to oligarch buyers in preparation for its New City Agenda, and the UN needs all lives, together with these of refugees and financial migrants, to be managed by digital know-how linked to the digital ID of their digital twin. 

The networks, technological methods, and funding “pipelines” are in place to allow gov-corp Technate ultra-high-net-worth “founders” to purchase citizenship, ought to they want, and arrange gov-corp Technates both by investing in SEZs or smart-city developments already underway. In 2024, the UNHCR estimated that there have been 123.2 million displaced folks in search of refuge. Clearly, NRx technocrats like Titus Gebel and Christian Kälin hope to offer stated refuge for a worthwhile return. 

Gov-corp Technates in the US

In 2023, on the US election marketing campaign path, calling it a “quantum leap,” Donald Trump proposed initially setting up ten “Freedom Cities” within the US. As reported by Bloomberg: 

The tip recreation is audacious: Excessive-tech firm cities free from state legislation and most federal guidelines—together with the Inner Income Code, main environmental legal guidelines just like the Clear Water Act and the Endangered Species Act; employee protections just like the Truthful Labor Requirements Act and the Occupational Well being and Security Act; and the Reasonably priced Care Act.

There are at present round 300 SEZs within the US and the potential for growth of the Freedom Metropolis idea within the US is already marked. The Freedom Metropolis thought, although it supplies the identical SEZ regulatory benefits to multinational firms, stands aside considerably from different SEZ initiatives. The Freedom Cities might be constructed on parcels of US territory sold-off straight to personal buyers. 

Initially, the Trump administration tried to sell-off US territory to oligarchs via public land sale provisions included in Trump’s One Large Stunning Invoice. Because of public and political opposition, the general public land sale clauses had been eliminated previous to the Invoice passing. The NRx technocrats behind the Trump administration are, nevertheless, decided. They’re now attempting to make use of Trump’s proposed Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) for a similar function. 

Inherent within the US SWF plan is the intention to liquidate—sell-off—US public land (territory) to lift capital. It stays to be seen if this line of assault will work the place the Large Stunning Invoice assault failed. There’s a highly effective worldwide community, led by US NRx technocrats, exploring each avenue to get the gov-corp Technates—Freedom Cities—constructed within the US.

Peter Thiel protégé, and an NRx technocrat in his personal proper, Sam Altman, stood near Oracle’s Larry Ellison, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son and President Trump when Trump introduced his administration’s Stargate Undertaking. 

In line with Altman’s OpenAI: 

The Stargate Undertaking is a brand new firm which intends to speculate $500 billion over the subsequent 4 years constructing new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the US. [. . .] The preliminary fairness funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead companions for Stargate, with SoftBank having monetary accountability and OpenAI having operational accountability. Masayoshi Son would be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the important thing preliminary know-how companions. [. . .] All of us sit up for persevering with to construct and develop AI—and particularly AGI [artificial generative intelligence]—for the advantage of all of humanity. We imagine that this new step is crucial on the trail, and can allow inventive folks to determine methods to use AI to raise humanity.

“All of us” refers back to the international NRx technocrat neighborhood of which Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and Masayoshi Son (Masayoshi Yasumoto) are members. The intention to make use of AI to “elevate humanity” means to meld us with know-how and switch is into programmable “technoplastic beings.” 

Masayoshi Son is the top of the know-how funding holding firm SoftBank Group (SBG) which has capitalised handsomely on its investments in Chinese language know-how companies comparable to Alibaba. That is largely on account of its management of the Chinese language social media agency TikTok, ByteDance, the biggest social media firm on this planet by income, is at present valued at round $330 billion. This makes SoftBank’s 4% stake in ByteDance value roughly $13.2 billion. 

It stays to be seen if Larry Ellison’s $14 billion deal to purchase out ByteDance’ stake in TikTok’s US operation will assist Masayoshi Son’s to extend his ByteDance holdings. Actually, it ought to present him with a wholesome dividend. Trump has spoken about “4 or 5 world-class buyers” cashing in on the deal, however each he and Ellison have been coy about formally naming them.  

Undertaking Stargate was launched to a lot fanfare, in step with the rhetoric within the Heritage Basis’s Undertaking 2025, because the US was supposedly set on a course to outcompete China’s DeepSeek AI improvement program, which is essential to the Hangzhou Metropolis-Mind venture. Nearer scrutiny of Stargate, nevertheless, brings the entire notion of competitors into query. 

Previous to the Stargate launch, in September 2024, Blackrock, its owned subsidiary International Infrastructure Companions (GIP), Microsoft, and MGX introduced their International AI Infrastructure Funding Partnership (GAIIP) to to gasoline AI innovation. This was a worldwide enterprise however there was a give attention to supporting AI innovation within the US. The GAIIP implementing companions included NVIDIA. 

As a founding member of GAIIP, UAE-based AI investor MGX can also be a “lead accomplice” in Stargate. MGX is owned by the sovereign wealth fund (Mubadala) of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi dominated by former UAE president Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Shortly after the January 2025 launch of Stargate, in February, Sam Altman visited Abu Dhabi to debate finance for Stargate with MGX. This resulted in an preliminary, accelerated $6.6 billion Stargate start-up funding spherical. 

BlackRock, and notably its GIP, obtain billions of {dollars} of personal fairness funding from China’s state-run funding arms such because the State Administration of Overseas Property and the China Funding Company (CIC). As Trump ramped up his allegedly powerful aggressive stance in opposition to China, by April 2025 the Chinese language financiers had been pulling again on their monumental US personal fairness commitments. Probably, this was a lot to the chagrin of Blackrock, MGX and different GAIIP companions. 

DeepSeek AI builders in China had been reliant on the US-based multinational NVIDIA’s H20 processors that are manufactured underneath license in Taiwan. NVIDIA is a “key know-how accomplice” of Stargate. Having initially “banned” H20 gross sales to China, reportedly following some conferences with Jensen Huang—co-founder and CEO of GAIIP accomplice NVIDIA—the Trump administration began lifting the H20 export ban, roughly as quickly because it had been imposed, in April 2025. This later grew to become the official place as, it appears, the preliminary ban was a mistake. 

In Might 2025, Trump was dispatched to Abu Dhabi the place he signed a deal to produce US AI-chips, together with NVIDIA processors, to the Abu Dhabi AI digital transformation hub. An related settlement was made for US tech companies to collaborate on AI improvement within the Emirate and the broader UAE. Trump referred to as the deal the “U.S.-U.A.E. A.I. Acceleration Partnership.” 

In what was clearly a deal sweetener, simply a few weeks previous to the Trump-UAE deal, Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Center East envoy, met Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Sardinia. Sheik Tahnoon is the Abu Dhabi Emir’s brother, UAE Nationwide Safety Advisor, and CEO of MGX (Mubadala). Sheik Tahnoon agreed to make investments $2 billion in World Liberty Monetary, a cryptocurrency enterprise owned by the Witkoff and Trump households. 

Although this appears to be like like blatant corruption, the official fact-checkers have declared every thing unimpeachable and have outlined the reality for us. Any recommendations that this chain of occasions clearly evidences excessive degree political corruption have all been formally labelled as “baseless rumours.”  

Reality-checking heavyweight Snopes reliably knowledgeable us: 

Whereas the 2 offers occurred inside two weeks and there was an overlap of people that had been concerned in them, there was no proof the primary, between MGX and World Liberty Monetary, was a direct bribe for the second deal, which concerned the chips.

So, fortunately, the accepted fact-checkers have answered all of our questions for us and that’s an finish to the matter.

Within the media-spun confrontation, and that’s evidently all it’s, China has now reportedly banned the import of the NVIDIA RTX Professional 6000D—the successor to the H20. However China doesn’t have to import processors from the US as a result of the UAE-China AI partnership, particularly the Abu Dhabi digital transformation hub, has a Trump administration settlement in place for the availability of the processors and it serves as a “essential base for Chinese language AI companies.” 

The purported Stargate “competitors” with DeepSeek AI appears to be like extra like a “partnership.” So what else could be occurring right here? 

When Forbes reported the launch of Stargate on January 2025, its journalists stated the “particulars of the enterprise are unclear at this early stage.” Why they made this declare is perplexing. The small print weren’t unclear. In November 2024, Sam Altman’s OpenAI, the driving drive behind Stargate, introduced its “blueprint for U.S. AI infrastructure.” 

AI in America: OpenAI’s Financial Blueprint, is Stargate mapped out. This was printed earlier than the official White Home Stargate announcement and there was no want for any journalist to be “unclear” about any facet of it. 

The “Blueprint” talks about the necessity to merge “private-sector imaginative and prescient and innovation with public-sector enlightenment to unlock the brand new know-how;” a plan for “constructing the infrastructure wanted to provide sufficient power;” funding to develop “the subsequent era of power know-how, together with sustainable sources comparable to fission, fusion, and different promising applied sciences;” and it notes the necessity for “commonsense guidelines” to assist “innovators thrive by encouraging funding [. . .] and higher freedom.” 

The NRx technocrat “Blueprint” additionally defines the alleged want for Freedom Cities: 

We want a foundational technique to make sure that funding in infrastructure advantages the most individuals attainable and maximizes entry to AI. This contains insurance policies and initiatives that encourage fairly than stifle builders; help a thriving AI-ready workforce and ecosystems of labs, start-ups and bigger corporations; and safe America’s management on AI into the long run, comparable to:

AI Financial Zones, created by native, state and the federal authorities along with business, that considerably velocity up the allowing processes for constructing AI infrastructure like new photo voltaic arrays, wind farms and nuclear reactors.

These might be what Bloomberg calls “cities free from state legislation and most federal guidelines.” Simply because the plan for Freedom Cities within the US preceded Stargate, the UK’s take care of Blackrock to develop  “freeports” within the UK (see Half 1) had preceded the rollout of the NRx technocrats’ UK Stargate venture. It’s the identical NRx technocrat community imposing the identical SEZ-based impartial jurisdiction mannequin wherever you look. 

Mark Lutter, for instance, serves on the board of the Frontier Basis that was set as much as promote the Freedom Metropolis initiative within the US. As we mentioned in Half 1, Lutter can also be the founder and Government Director of the Constitution Cities Institute which states it’s proud to help the event of Freedom Cities within the US.Titus Gebel, who needs to revenue from migrants and refugees, works carefully with Lutter. As beforehand famous, Lutter served as the top economist for NeWAY Capital and Gebel is a NeWay Capital Accomplice. 

Nick Allen, President of the Frontier Basis and Lutter’s colleague, may be very keen to utilize Trump’s SWF grift and informedWIREDthat federal land near cities like Boise, Idaho; Grand Junction, Colorado; and Redmond, Oregon can be nice locations to construct gov-corp Technates. 

Talking on behalf of the Frontier Basis, Allen added:

If we’re capable of get a legislative switch of land from the US authorities to make a public-private partnership, or a belief, or perhaps a personal company, then it’s a decrease price of capital. [. . .] There’s a lot capital and there’s a lot political will, however but there’s an incapacity to develop these [frontier] applied sciences. And the shortcoming comes from lack of area and too many rules.

NeWay capital established the Freedom Cities Coalition (FCC) which promotes the concept of Freedom Cities as “Cities With out Limits.” This implies cities and cities the place there aren’t any regulation and oligarchs are free to do what they please. Along with NeWay Capital, the FCC can also be backed by Pronomos Capital led by NRx Technocrats Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Joe Lonsdale. 

The FCC claims that Freedom Cities or, in Stargate terminology, “AI Financial Zones,” characterize “America’s boldest answer to unleash our nation’s full potential.” They are going to be constructed in “zones of regulatory readability” which might be “specifically designated areas” the place “entrepreneurs” can “transfer on the velocity of human ingenuity” with out having to hassle with any overbearing federal legal guidelines or rules. 

The FCC provides:

Freedom Cities are extra than simply financial zones. [. . .] Think about communities the place housing is plentiful and inexpensive, [. . .] the place breakthrough applied sciences transfer from lab to market at lightning velocity as a result of innovators are free to innovate. That is how we’ll overcome stagnation, outcompete China, and create a brand new American century. Freedom Cities give us the possibility to show as soon as once more what People can obtain after we’re unshackled from outdated methods and empowered to construct the long run.

With regard to the place the Freedom Cities might be constructed, the FCC notes:

28% Of US land is federally owned and prepared for modern improvement.

If the Trump administration’s SWF plans proceed, it will open the door for NRx technocrats and different oligarchs to purchase up US territory to construct their gov-corp Technates. The political will definitely seems to be there. 

Trump’s long-time financial advisor Stephen Moore helps the city-state mannequin. Moore is the previous chief economist on the Heritage Basis, which was behind Undertaking 2025’s Promise to America. 

The Trump administration got here to energy promising to sort out the pernicious affect of “American elites” and was due to this fact desperate to distance itself from the Heritage Basis’s Undertaking 2025 “Promise,” which was funded by the Koch and Bradley households, amongst different so-called American elites. Regardless, most of Trump’s Government Orders, issued when he got here to energy for the second time, had been virtually written by the Heritage Basis’s Undertaking 2025. 

The identical group of American elites are additionally behind the State Coverage Community (SPN) that proposed the “Compact For America” shortly earlier than Trump’s first US election win in 2016. What Trump termed Freedom Cities in 2023, the Compact for America, whose Nationwide Spokesman was Stephen Moore, referred to as Prosperity Districts in 2015. The terminology has modified, however the intention to create gov-corp Technates within the US has not. 

As we mentioned in Half 1, simply because the “authority” is fashioned to supervise the impartial jurisdiction of a Particular Financial Zone (SEZ), so the Prosperity District (PD) can be the authority that guidelines throughout the jurisdictional boundaries permitted by amenable “Prosperity States” throughout the US. 

As soon as accepted, the PD would wield policing powers, it might management all “municipal providers” via public-private partnerships, and set all rules inside its jurisdiction. Simply as with the “authority” ruling an SEZ, the PD would increase by petitioning the keen State to increase itself: 

The formation or growth of the PD replaces, inside its boundaries, all state legal guidelines above the baseline of the state structure, widespread legislation, felony legislation and present compacts. The PDs created inside Prosperity States liberate residents, reworking states into strongholds of free markets, federalism and restricted authorities as soon as once more. 

Secure to say, Trump didn’t provide you with the notion of the Freedom Metropolis. It’s merely the rebranding for the oligarchs’ Prosperity District thought. The gov-corp Technate has been the NRx technocrat’s favoured path to company “prosperity” and social management for greater than a decade at this level. 

Throughout its first time period, the Trump administration tried to place Stephen Moore on the board of the Federal Reserve to make sure beneficial financial coverage suited to the formation of Prosperity Districts. The Democratic wing of the Institution reacted strongly in opposition to Moore’s attainable appointment and the bid didn’t succeed. With their second Trump time period underway, the NRx Technocrats—the Silicon Valley-based new breed of American elites—have joined forces with their extra conventional oligarch companions for a similar ends: to construct Freedom Cities, Prosperity Districts, SEZs, gov-corp Technates, name them what you want. 

The US intelligence neighborhood can also be onboard. This isn’t shocking provided that NRx technocrat’s firms, comparable to Peter Thiel’s Palantir and Larry Ellison’s Oracle, have deep ties with US intelligence. 

America’s Frontier Fund (AFF), is a supposedly a “nonprofit” enterprise capital operation with a nonprofit basis, backed by Bilderbergers Eric Schmidt and Peter Thiel. The AFF is actually an impression funding cut-out of the US intelligence and nationwide safety equipment. It was based and is at present led by Gilman Louie. He’s the “former” CEO of the CIA’s funding arm In-Q-Tel (1999 – 2006) and thereafter acted as a defence, nationwide safety and intelligence advisor for the US authorities. Notably, Louie was on the helm of In-Q-Tel when it “accelerated” the startup referred to as Palantir.

The AFF’s goal is to harness the “promise of frontier know-how.” This is identical “frontier know-how” that the UN’s “New City Agenda” relies upon, with a view of setting up good city-states the world over. It’s not a coincidence that it is usually exactly the identical “frontier know-how” that the NRx technocrats behind the AFF need to use to enslave humanity. It’s, in any case, a part of the identical, international gov-corp Technate plan.  

The worldwide agenda, transferring us towards digital slavery, is impregnable and isn’t one thing any of us can vote are manner out of. Our solely reasonable possibility is to not adjust to the adoption of the “good” frontier know-how folks like Gilman Louie, and his intelligence linked community of NRx technocrats need us to undertake. 

This complete, international, gov-corp Technate venture couldn’t be extra anti-democratic. The Darkish Enlightenment and the Technocracy favoured by the NRx technocrats characterize the zenith of totalitarian ideology. Their oligarch companions enthusiasm to undertake the identical Patchwork of city-states is equally born from the need to manage everybody and every thing. 

Schmidt, Thiel, and Louie had been instrumental in organising the AFF underneath the earlier Biden administration. It might be a mistake to think about the worldwide agenda to entrap us in good city-states is a partisan challenge. The squabbles we see, comparable to Democrat opposition to the appointment of Moore to the Fed, are simply that: petty squabbles among the many ranks.

In 2024, the Future Union, which seeks to “fuse personal sector capitalism” with political authority, declared Gilman Louie the “high investor supporting democracy.” Louie narrowly pipped different egalitarian, democracy-loving NRx technocrat buyers, like Peter Thiel, Eric Shmidt, and Marc Andreessen, to the highest prize. Have been the intention of their accelerationist funding methods not so malevolent we might maybe snigger on the irony.
