Thank you to Alex Newman for inviting me back onto his show for The New American. There was a hard stop of 28 minutes and 30 seconds, so I had to keep my answers pithy and concise. We discussed:

* the defining features of the Omniwar;

* some examples of the domains across which the Omniwar is being waged;

* total social control as the aim of the Omniwar;

* the fundamentals of technocracy and the “scientific management of society”;

* why technocracy is antithetical to freedom and democracy;

* who are “they”?;

* AI, which is coming down the tracks fast;

* why the war for technocracy is not (at least not in the first instance) about depopulation;

* principles of resistance in the Omniwar and the importance of challenging the technologies being used to hook us up to the technocratic control grid, not least “smart” phones;

* reasons for optimism: we are more powerful than we think, our numbers are constantly growing, and technocratic agendas are becoming ever more visible to ever more people;

* why the technologies being used for totalitarian control purposes should be expropriated and placed in service of humanity;

* unresolved theoretical debates between Marxism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc.
