Here we go, the full Carl Schmitt Nazi strategy: Steve Bannon calls for a "national security emergency executive order" to rig the election. They have been planning this since day one. Bannon even wrote the foreword to "Unhumans." www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

A statement from WIRED leadership.

AI companies are in the midst of a self-inflicted public relations apocalypse. They have promised to kill all jobs and, possibly, wipe humanity off the face of the Earth. Is it any wonder why there's a growing mass revolt against them? My full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlPs...

Check out this conversation between HCR & Gil Duran from a year ago. He talked about the “Network State” back then👇🏽 www.youtube.com/live/FWjR6_q...

This isn’t vandalism, it’s art – and reminds me I must watch They Live again

In 2013, Marc Andreessen gave a speech predicting a “painful” future which would see many new “countries” born—an early glimpse of the Network State cult. A reporter named Hamish McKenzie wrote about it. Later, he co-founded a newsletter publishing startup. Andreeseen is a major investor.

@gilduran.com Bannon, JD, Posobiec - all far right extremist Catholics - the commies are coming has been the cry of Opus Dei and right wing Catholics aligned w Nazis since before WWII. www.thenerdreich.com/why-trump-ke...

Exactly. Remember that Johnson is after military funding for “fighting communists here at home”. Not a coincidence that they’re doing that as he ramps up rhetoric on elections.

"Curtis Yarvin, a Schmitt-lover who is Thiel’s political guru, has been crying for Trump to take more extreme steps to consolidate power, warning that Republicans will face dire consequences if Democrats win."

Trump's "communist" panic isn't just senile ranting. It's a strategy. It comes straight from a book Bannon and Vance endorsed, a genocide-themed screed that calls for dehumanizing Democrats as demons who don't deserve rights. The "Unhumans" playbook, exposed: www.thenerdreich.com/why-trump-ke...

This is primarily a cash-grab to hand money to his fellow antivax fraudsters. Even if we pretend the issue is unsettled (it's settled), it's simply not possible to allocate $5 billion towards legitimate study of the issue. The money will all go into the pockets of child-killers.

On the bright side, Trump has so little faith in the faltering crypto scam that he's illegally putting his face on govt coins. Slap in the face to crypto chuds who thought he'd kill "fiat." Bro wants to BE a dollar. Coming soon to the Museum of American Fascism. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/u...

I'd no idea that existed but glad it's faceplanting. And Gil's point that you need to know what and who of the Network State cult is key.

A Network State project is failing in San Francisco. The tech "village" offering "citizenship" devolved into divisions & departures. Of course, no mention of the Network State cult. The SF Chronicle continues to pretend it doesn't exist—even as it covers it! www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/f...

end stage

can't wait to read.

Why does Speaker Johnson believe we are still a "Constitutional Republic"? He's done everything he can to make sure that is no longer the case.

These talking points come from "Unhumans," endorsed by JD Vance. It argues that the USA faces an existential communist threat. Therefore—cue Nazi theorist Carl Schmitt—we must declare a "state of exception" to save the country from...democracy. Danger ahead. www.thenerdreich.com/unhumans-jd-...

My book got the Wall Street Journal angry because it tells the truth

Hell yes

I was incredibly confused a few months ago when a subset of people that seemed to skew left were all pretending he was some kind of special unicorn when the reality is that he is simply a different type of grifter

The Hunter Biden story does not end well. All this desperate attention-seeking is bad news. (And he's a crypto chud) Steer clear. Mark my words.

NEW: A public link let anyone watch SFPD police drone operations. We reviewed hours of leaked footage showing drones tracking cars across the city, watching detentions, peering into apartment windows, recording thermal video, and sweeping up hundreds of bystanders w/ @agreenberg.bsky.social

☣️ must be running low on lawyers who he trusts.

Dammit! I thought I was clear - stop writing books I want to read until I have read the ones I already have!!! (Seriously though, this looks good)

In general, the whole “Trump-goon-turned-Democratic-hero” genre needs to be retired. Susie Wiles does not get to be a normie center-left podcast guest when she has a book to sell.

Feeling incredibly validated for never falling for this.

Oooh this is up there with “Character Limit” and “Spare” in the pantheon of all-time great nonfic titles

Looks like Simi Valley has it on order (system availability)!

Thankful for public libraries!

Also in Regina Saskatchewan Canada! I ❤️ libraries Just put in a hold!

Already reserved for many weeks on the other side of the planet (Wellington Libraries in Aotearoa).

I want the book to sell, but my favorite thing is seeing that it's going to be in LIBRARIES! Public libraries created me, and so it's a full-circle moment. I plan to donate many copies to libraries in the Central Valley of California, where I grew up.

Think this is bad? Just wait til you see the tsunami of Democratic praise when Trump shuffles off the mortal coil.

Crypto finally has a real use-case (besides crime and terrorism): overt and unprecedented political corruption.

The crypto grift in a nutshell

The Network State/Freedom City conversation is morphing into a focus on economic/national security zones. There’s a hearing in DC next week where the CEO of Prospera—the Network State project in Honduras—will speak on the issue.

👀 Erick Brimen, CEO of Prospera—an aspiring “network state” backed by Thiel & Andreessen—will testify on 7/14 about “economic security zones,” the new buzzword promoted by Pax Silica, a global initiative led by Trump official Jacob Helberg, former advisor to Thiel’s Palantir. h/t @gilduran.com 1/
