The 20.25 Earthling Dystopia Express is now pulling in at Platform Ghost

The 20.25 Earthling Dystopia Express is now pulling in at Platform Ghost
Can you hear the whistle?

Over the period 30th May to 27th June 2025, I have opined online at Ghost as follows:

'State power is migrating away from elected assemblies, and falling into the hands of investment giants, corporocrats, bankers, the Secret State, the Military and billionaires'

'AI destroys jobs AI gives corporacrats and monopolists somewhere safe to hide. AI produces risible service that raises customer blood pressure. AI has no mutuality kindness gene. AI is the obvious enemy of Homo sapiens. Those who like and applaud AI are high in IQ and dismally low in wisdom'.

'Neoliberal capitalism has given birth to twin evils: globalist monopolism, and neocon diplomacy. A melange of infinite greed and nuclear nihilism is not a Good Look. The Rule of Law has left the theatre. Don't just sit there waiting for an encore'

'Everywhere you go in the increasingly digitalised 21st century, bankers are behaving like dodgy black market Flash 'Arry spivs in 1942 Second World War Britain. Should you venture abroad and use VISA cards, for every 8000 currency units you withdraw from a remote ATM, you will be charged 200 units in admin charges. But look carefully at your account statement, and you will spot that you're now being charged an extra 180 units in what is laughably called 'ancilliary interbank coordination'. This increases the commission you're paying these bastards from 2.5% to 4.75%'

'Lasting change will only take place when oppressed human beings say, "You're not getting my taxes or my vote until you stop asking me to eat this shit"....Such is dangerous ground for commentators, given that the eternal 4% demigods long ago made it illegal to encourage tax strikes as a weapon. But just as inbuilt culturo–religious misogyny, political corruption and greedy foreign investment are enslaving Third World nations, so too State theft and unaccountable corporocratic power are destroying First World free-speech democracy'

'Everyone and everything is at war with everyone else.....Trump v Musk, Pentagonised Ukraine v Russia, Every Secret State v Libertarians, the CIA v Macron, Sexual perverts v Old Normalists, Multipolar Mutualists v Unipolar Hegemonists, Geopolitics v Nationalism, Banks v Savers, Digital v Cash, Capitalism v Neolib Monopolism, Big Pharma v Holistic Clinics, EU v Hungary, Zionists v Islamists, News v Propaganda, Fossil Energy v Solar Fusion and - perhaps above all - Investment Giants v Truth. Can someone tell me....where are the blessed peacemakers?'

'It’s the usual amoral defence that runs like this: “If we give you notice that we are about to welch on our National Insurance promises from sixty years ago, then you must comply with our bad faith'

'Atypical sexuality - as I discovered forty years ago when working with the UK Dept of Health - represents at the very most no more than 8.5 per cent of Homo sapiens. Yet these people seem to be running the world. And this is nothing knew: Hitler was a coprophiliac - ie, a shit fetishist whose lover Geli Raubal killed herself because of his perversion. Powerful connections covered it up....and he went on to win power, The result was 68 million dead over the following twelve years'

We are witnessing a planetary 'Putsch' in which the sexually odd and unaccountable corporate giga-rich and State bureaucrats distract, distort and deceive at will. Resistance commentators continue to misuse the future tense by referring to 'the dystopia coming down the road'. They're wrong: it's here and it's now.

How come a Brit based in West Africa has the same nagging doubts about where our species is going as a Grecophile American who tells us 'I tell stories, write analysis, and connect people. Most importantly, I am a husband and dad' ?

I urge you to read Phil Butler's piece of yesterday at Zero Hedge. When it comes to the existential threat to our species, Phil is one hundred per cent on the money.
