They Really Don’t Care
This might not apply to all sheep-types, but many of the ones I have encountered simply do not care. This could be the reason we can’t seem to get through to them with the facts we are constantly shoving down their throats. Of course, the ones I’ve talked to may just be saying they don’t care to shut me up, but I really don’t think so. They seem pretty sincere.
How could they not care? Now, that is the $64,000 question. People, in general, do not care about things they do not see directly affecting them. They should, but…...

OffG is Going Offline…For a Makeover!
OffG will be going into maintenance mode for a few hours today (August 4th/5th 2026), as we prepare for a big update of the site’s theme, layout and appearance.
So, if you come back and the site is gone don’t worry, we’ll be back with a fresh coat of paint in no time at all.
This has been a long time time coming, and taken a LOT of work, but we’re very excited to share the results!...

Are You Ready for the “Rogue AI” Psy-Op?
The AIs are breaking free, that’s the story.
It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their “agents” had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an “unprecedented cyber attack”.
This was clearly meant to be scarier than the public response indicated, because a few days later OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was on the Invest like the Best podcast, asking why it didn’t cause more panic:

From “Designed Viruses” to “Digital Telepathy” – AI Panic Kicks into Overdrive
Two days ago, I wrote an article detailing the sudden rash of “rogue AI agents” allegedly besetting the tech community, and how that may be used to bring in new regulations, notionally targeting AI, but actually limiting or monitoring how ordinary people use the internet.
In the 48 hours since, that blatant fear-mongering has gone WILD.

Hearsay
It seems that nearly every bit of information we receive these days is hearsay, or more bluntly, a lie. I think most people do not believe that a lot of the things they hear, or read in the news, are out-and-out lies.
In fact, a distinction needs to be made between conscious and intentional lies and things that are simply not true. Once we make that distinction, we find that most of what reaches us belongs to the latter category.
That fact changes things only a little bit. False information is still false. And the falsity or truth of…...

The Rogue AI Psy-Op Part 3 – do you see where this is going yet?
A few days ago, I wrote an article highlighting the bizarre story of OpenAI AND Anthropic AND Meta all suddenly claiming to have “rogue AI agents” escape their “containment” and try to hack other companies in the space of a week or two.
Two days after that I pennedthe sequel, noting the even more extreme “scary AI” stories – from mind-reading computers to bio-engineered viruses – that were manifesting all over the media landscape, and the massive surge in “regulate AI” hot takes.

The Memory Hole
I’m beginning to think something is wrong with my memory.
It’s strange, the feeling. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s not like I have amnesia or anything. I remember who I am, I think. And I remember things that happened in the past, but I don’t think I remember them the way they happened.

Sustaining the City by Draining the Countryside
While critiques of Indian agriculture have long focused on the crisis of commercial cash crops and the corporatisation of wheat and paddy procurement, this focus creates a significant oversight. By treating the state-backed system as the universal standard, such analyses overlook the reality of the vast majority of smallholders—those growing pulses, millets and rain-fed crops who were never integrated into formal procurement to begin with.
Consider the micro-farm in the foothills of Uttarakhand. A family tends a modest plot: a dozen goats, backyard poultry supplying fresh eggs and a handful of citrus and mango trees—one lemon tree alone yielding…...

Private: The Israel-Hamas Hostage Narrative Makes ZERO Sense
Kit Knightly
I want to talk about something that’s been bothering me: I don’t see how this Israeli hostage story makes any sense at all.
Last week Hamas released the first 17 of their hostages captured during their “surprise attack” on October 7th. As of today, the total released stands at “over 80”. So far they all seem to be more or less unharmed.
This is the culmination of a story that flies in the face of rationality.

WATCH: “Resistance Emerging to Globalist Technofeudal Plans”
Shannon Joy joins host Hrvoje Moric to discuss the current state of the world and individual liberty. The world is in late-stage imperial decline characterized by widespread institutional corruption and a push for transnational technocratic control.
The conversation examines COVID-19 as a pivotal psychological and military operation used to normalize biometric surveillance, digital IDs, and forced medical protocols. A financial crisis is likely the next shoe to drop. Despite these challenges, the dialogue emphasizes a growing global resistance rooted in skepticism, decentralization, and the refusal to comply with authoritarian agendas.

This article is dedicated to the memory of David Cayley, who died in June of this year. Much of David’s lifework was given to disseminating the ideas of Ivan Illich, one of the most important and least popular of which was the vital importance of men and women, made for and by ways of life, for any hope of resistance to the advance of technocracy.

The Persistence of US Strategy, Anthony Fauci, and Limited Hangouts
Throughout all the news cycles over the years, you can count on a continuity in U.S. government/media propaganda and strategy. Make a time capsule, fill it with today’s news, hide it away, and pull it out in five, ten, or fifteen years, and while many details (tactics) will have changed, the underlying themes will remain. Or do it in reverse.

The All-Seeing Eye
In an era where our every word, step, and glance can be archived, summarized, and replayed by sleek little discs pinned to our chests, the ancient archetype of the all-seeing eye has found its modern silicon incarnation.
What was once the paranoid whisper of conspiracy has become the marketed convenience of ‘life logging’—yet beneath the promise of perfect memory lies the total erasure of privacy, turning every shrew into a unwitting performer on the surveillance stage.
