City-States Without Limits – Part 1

A powerful group of Silicon Valley oligarchs are using the Trump administration to push for the construction of privatized city-states in the US. Their interests are aligned with a global network of oligarchs who want to move away from the global governance of nation-states to the global governance of an international network of city-states. The intention is for the city-states to form a “patchwork” of realms overseen by a regional balance of power global governance system: the Multipolar World Order.

 

NRx technocrat oligarchs, like Thiel and Musk, say they are opposed to any form of world government. Thiel claims he views world government to be the manifestation of the Antichrist. Nonetheless, the question of who rules is of primary importance to the global cartel of oligarchs who have, for generations, been plotting to establish themselves as unchallenged world rulers.

If, as NRx technocrats proclaim, they wish to avert world government, it appears their efforts to establish a patchwork of city-state realms is a monumental miscalculation. So much so, that we might suspect the NRx technocrat’s protestations are a ruse. Their globalist oligarch partners have been trying to construct exactly the same city-state network for decades, precisely because it better facilitates global governance and, thereafter, the move to global government—Orbital Authority.

In reality Thiel, Musk, Andreessen, and Sacks et al. are members of the same global oligarchy. Thiel and Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp, for example, are on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group. Even the mainstream media concedes that the Bilderberg group has the authority to concentrate “control at the top of the Atlantic alliance [NATO].” A private oligarch network controlling NATO is approaching the Orbital Authority Yarvin imagines. Like Yarvin, it seems the mainstream media is only interested in the fact that private sector international authoritarianism exists, accepting its presence without question.

In all likelihood, Yarvin, Land, Thiel, Musk and Andreessen, etc., know that AI is not a potentially independent, artificial god—though they pretend it is and that its arrival is unavoidable. Yarvin certainly seems to infer that AI is and will always be a technological tool controlled by human beings, some of whom have very specific agendas.

As Yarvin reluctantly admits, the people who control his conceptualised “Orbital Authority” are not irrelevant. On the contrary, this is the key question that should concern us all.

To reiterate: nothing exists in a network state—gov-corp Technate or city-state—unless its is represented on the ledger. Therefore, your life is represented on the ledger by creating your “digital twin.” It is only your digital twin that is deemed to exist. Companies like the Israeli AU10TIX, which is a subsidiary of the Israeli intelligence-founded ICTS, provides digital ID solutions that are creating your “digital twin” life on platforms like X.

AU10TIX explains:

Digital ID functions as a Digital Twin of your identity. [. . .] Digital IDs continuously validate your identity using biometrics, [. . .] your Digital ID evolves with risk signals, fraud prevention insights, and changing credentials—ensuring it remains accurate and trustworthy. [. . .] A true Digital ID isn’t just tied to one institution. It’s reusable across banks, government services, airlines, and online platforms.

The seamless link between “online and offline worlds” means whatever “limits” are placed on the virtual life of your “digital twin” are placed on yours. Agreeing to hand over “limited privileges” to the “system administrators” who control the “digital life” of your “digital twin” in a network state—where your only option is to flee if possible—is voluntary slavery.

Having your access to funds cut off and being unable to access goods or services, or use any “smart devices”—such as your fridge—if AI judges that you have “misbehave[d]” doesn’t sound very libertarian. But that’s understandable because the Srinivasan is of the view that digital slavery is just something we all need to accept:

[T]he network state system assumes that states [. . .] will continue centralizing the power of their tech companies into one all-seeing dashboard, capable of surveilling, deplatforming, freezing, and sanctioning millions at once, or anyone at will. [. . .] The network state system assumes that we can’t fully put this genie back in the bottle, but we can constrain it. 

We all need to be very clear in this point: the NRx technocrats are currently instrumental in building and deploying the AI-based systems that will “centralize the power” of their “tech companies” within nation-states. The NRx technocrats are also rolling out the state social credit technology that is increasingly “deplatforming, freezing and sanctioning” both organisations and individuals. That is to say, the NRx technocrats are constructing the digital gulag that their representatives, such as Srinivasan, are warning us against.

Their offered solution is that we all adopt digital ID, sign a “social smart contract” and thereby consent to live our lives subject to the tyranny of the founders in gov-corp Technate city-states. We’ll still be subject to total digital surveillance and control—this is inevitable apparently—but it will be “constrained” if we opt to live in their private fiefdoms. In the time-honoured tradition of the so-called representative democracy they claim to oppose, the NRx technocrats are offering us the lesser of two evils, but it is evil nonetheless.
