Paul Craig Roberts – paulcraigroberts.org Nov 13, 2025
Yesterday, November 12, the same day I published my article about the threat AI poses to humanity, Peter Koenig reached the same conclusion, “The Digital Gulag Is the Guillotine for a Sovereign Humanity.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/digital-gulag-guillotine-sovereign-humanity/5905422
I received his article with this note:
“All thinking people know that digitization will lead us to a bottomless prison with shackles, of no escape.
“That’s where we are going in “warp speed” to use one of President Trump’s terms (May 2020), when he said he wanted to save humanity by developing a vaccine against covid in “warp speed”… (the term originally stems from “Star Trek” of the 1960’s).
“Now that we know what “warp speed” means, you can imagine what it means when we are moving in “warp speed” towards full digitization. Once we are there, there will be no way out – although humanity always has some ingenious people… but the challenge is huge.
“This is not to scare the reader, not at all, but to make readers of all ages aware of the danger that we are running and running towards fast, because we are choosing blindness (darkness) over sight and over light.
“Even at the cost of some Instant “comfort”, digitization is humanity’s demise.
“Think Analog. Analog has given us a happy and free life, free of control – or at least much freer than today – and, as compared to these days – censorship was almost non-existent, if judged by today’s standards.
“The Age of Analog – of course, disappeared gradually, but only 30 years ago was still alive and kicking.
Since then we have given in to the lie-industry, to the media and to our governments, and those who pull the strings behind these governments – to what they have sold us as “comfort” – which are eventually shackles in an unescapable prison.
“We must go back to Analog. It is possible and it is a MUST.”
Western peoples naively believe that they live in democracies over which voting gives them some control. The facts are entirely different. There are numerous governmental and semi-governmental organizations at work creating tyranny of which the insouciant masses are unaware.
As the tyranny creeps, each generation is born into more tyranny and less freedom. As time passes, tyranny becomes the norm, and no one understands or even is aware of the transformation into thought and behavior control that has been accomplished.
If you can’t see tyranny creeping in you are either Forrest Gump or in a coma………
PCR is largely responsible for the mess we’re in. He was instrumental in Thatcher and Reagan’s shift to supply-side economics to replace demand-led economics where “the customer is king”. Not any more we aren’t. Many car buyers would buy a new car with no computers but supply-side economics ignores their wishes and tells them you’re having computers so take it or leave it. Another supply-side example is where on a box of film wrap to cut the tough plastic film there’s no metal strip where a metal strip is really needed, they just have a serrated cardboard edge, yet on razors where we only need one blade they now give us three, four or even five of them. Can’t buy just one item, got to buy a multi-pack etc.
We are at the mercy of sellers and those who control stock markets but graspers have no mercy. They should sell to our whim but Thatcher and Reagan followed PCR’s theories and soon put a stop to all that.
LOL..
‘tyranny is creeping up on us’..dear dear what an imbecile..tyranny is the default state..that’s what you have, a tyranny run by tyrants and have had for about 6000 years..you’d think with a name like PCR that this fool would have noticed.. especially when they were locking up the whirled and injecting them with cancer..
but of course most imbeciles trundle along under selective memory and cling to their favourite delusions..
at all costs..lest their tiny minds fold in on themselves..
fools like Roberts will bleat a bit louder now and unfortunately for a bit longer too.. because at last they’ve finally realised that they are for the noose as well..
yup the net is widening Paul..all aboard..
lolo
