Maajid Nawaz appeared on Joe Rogan Experience in late January, but Spotify did not release the interview until 3 days ago. The next day it appeared on Rumble.
The interview is 3 hours long and well worth listening to in its entirety. Maajid is articulate, intelligent, insightful and knowledgeable. But what sets him apart is that he overcame indoctrination as a Muslim subversive. Having deprogrammed himself with the help of mentors and spiritual guides, he recognizes the psychological operations being inflicted upon humanity via the COVID pandemic, which he sees as a stepping stone to global technocratic tyranny. Maajid sees the big picture and how all the pieces fit together, and he comes prepared to back up his claims with receipts.
Maajid started a substack after being let go from his LBC radio talk show in early January of this year “after accusations of spreading 'deranged rubbish' about vaccines and COVID”. The show was his only source of income at the time.
Of special interest to me is that Maajid fully grasps the vital importance of decentralization. Indeed, he sees the appearance of the decentralized Internet as comparable to the appearance of the printing press, which challenged the establishment’s control over information and threatened their power. A 30 year war ensued. We are now in the midst of a war between centralized establishment power and decentralized people power.
Starting at 2:15:42 of the video:
What’s going on here is with this central banking digital currency (CBDC), if you get to that situation where you end up with the Chinese social credit system in the West… Why? Why would anyone want to do that?
I believe we’re in a moment of the Gutenberg press. Go back to when the printing press was invented. Technology disrupts power structures. It always has. Printing and its invention was a new technology. What happened when they invented the printing press? The power structures who, up until that point were reading the Bible for you and were telling you that you will pay this priest X amount of favors and he’ll forgive you your sins. And that became a bribery system, which was what Martin Luther was so upset about when he pinned his thesis to the wall. The printing press disrupted that power dynamic because people could read the Bible for themselves. And they began realizing that the power structures were manipulating what was written, to control people.
Now, nobody in hindsight is going to argue that printing and its invention is a bad thing for humanity. But at the time, it lead to war. It lead to the Thirty Years’ War in Europe because it disrupted power so much that people began rising up and it lead to this 30 year period of war, which eventually lead to the Reformation and the rest is history.
What’s today’s Gutenberg press? The Internet. The decentralization of information and then because of that — the Internet — the decentralization of currency in the form of crypto is disrupting power. Because the way, that after the revolution of the Reformation — the printing press — control was still possible — though obviously not to that level which is why we no longer have those absolute monarchies — but control in a nation-state context was still possible to an extent because the money supply was controlled. Now what’s happening is that the invention of the Internet, with the decentralization of information and, in particular here, the decentralization of currency in the form of cryptocurrencies is disrupting those power hierarchies and it’s leading to this conflict now. And we’re in a moment when the printing press was invented, the Powers-That-Be needed to try and hold on to that power as the Thirty Years’ War kicked off. They eventually lost it, but to hold onto it they became very brutal, because they were losing their grip on power.
Today, this is what I believe we’re witnessing. It’s not about vaccine passports. This was a red herring. To have the infrastructure in place that you you can have a Checkpoint Charlie society, so that when the central bank and digital currencies are in place that infrastructure’s already there because people were so scared that they voluntarily allowed you to put that in place, so that you can maintain your grip on power because what’s coming around the corner is the decentralization of everything, of media, therefore of narrative. And of course remember, whoever gets to define the truth gets to define reality. Decentralization of narratives. Decentralization of the economy through crypto. You no longer have the power to define the story and control the money supply. So the powers that be, who are losing that power, need to clamp down. They’re clamping down on their own children, because we are people who are born of the West. So it’s an internal civil war in a hybrid war context over truth and over information. Centralization versus decentralization, basically. It’s no longer about nepotal (?) rights. It’s about up versus down, It’s about power versus those who don’t have power.
For more on decentralization, see Fractal Sovereignty. For the establishment’s reaction to crypto, see el gato malo’s new article governments are about to come for cryptocurrency in a big way. The cat with a bad attitude advocates for building a parallel society:
this project will be the most important work of the next decade. it will decide whether we inhabit a free society as a citizenry possessed of agency and liberty, or succumb to top down control from the collectivist authoritarians and have to eat our bugs or be barred from public transportation.
Agree
Benoit Mandelbrot is a firm hero of mine ever since the late 80's early 90's when I studied what was then called Information Technology.
Fractals to this day fascinate me and are a blueprint of nature in its truest sense.
maajid-nawaz speaks well on Joe Rogan but nothing that I didn't knew bfore.
If you want to know what is really going on you should visit my own substack free of charge because I believe the information is more important than to make money from it.
Money is an evil thing as is the Government working against its people.
I have actually written a declaration of no confidence in the governnment for everyone to use and it is available her.
