What do the tech billionaires behind Donald Trump actually want? Absolute control.

Think about it:

-This is why they seek to dismantle democratic systems and make people obsolete.

-This is why they manufacture constant apocalyptic crises designed to justify power grabs.

-This is why they merge the corporate, government, and religious power into one monopoly.

-This is why they buy media outlets in order to destroy them (and control public opinion).

Welcome to the fascist authoritarian playbook disguised as "innovation."

The end goal: a permanent hierarchy where a small, interconnected group deranged oligarchs reign supreme...forever.

How do we know this? Because they say the quiet part out loud in their own podcasts, speeches, and blogs.

The same day I met Maria, Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton recommended the book in a newspaper interview. A few days before that, a bookstore employee said one of my favorite actors had bought it.

The best part? Yesterday, one of my favorite bookstores in Oakland told me it’s popular with high schoolers. HIGH SCHOOLERS!?

Last week, I found myself sitting next to one of my heroes—journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa. "I'm reading your book!" she said.

She even pulled out her tablet to prove it. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Naturally, I made sure to give her a signed hard copy.

I toiled over The Nerd Reich in obscurity, never quite sure if anyone would care. But two months after its release, the momentum continues to build in the most surreal ways.

“The merging of tech and MAGA networks created a frenzy of open political corruption unlike anything in American history.”

From the Trump family's crypto scams to Jared Kushner's secret bank accounts, corruption is the defining characteristic of the regime.

The Walrus just published the introduction of my book, “The Nerd Reich.” It exposes Silicon Valley's true innovation of government—the shameless wholesale purchase of influence and power.

How to defeat tech billionaire power? Look at Solano County.

When billionaires invaded their community with plans to build a "tech utopia," Democrats AND Republicans banded together to fight back.

In a triumph of local democracy, they stopped the project...for now.

Not even Gov. Gavin Newsom—who tried to help the billionaires with a last-minute bill in the legislature—could overpower the people of Solano County.

This is a very good story. Yet it's amazing to see the New York Times continually miss the forest for the trees.

The NYT is ok with extremist ideology as an anecdote in a profile—but highly allergic to any deeper examination of the ideology itself.

No one gets to write an op-ed explaining any of this. That’s not allowed. But a billionaire can drop it in a quote as a passing comment.

Of course, I just wrote a book about it!

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient."

Hmm, where have I heard this before?

It’s not just one billionaire. It’s a full-blown cult of billionaires who believe dictatorship should replace democracy—and that technology (crypto and AI) will make this inevitable.

Trump spent years describing crypto as a scam. And on the day he returned to the White House, he became a crypto billionaire.

His entire family is cashing in with Bitcoin mining, with coin scams. At one point the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump family's fortune had increased by $5 billion thanks to crypto.

Tech billionaires think they are building a digital “god.”

But is Silicon Valley trying to build God...or the “Antichrist”?

Palantir billionaire Peter Thiel is giving nonstop speeches about the “Antichrist.”

But if you listen closely to Thiel’s description of the biblical bogeyman, it sounds terrifyingly similar to Silicon Valley’s venture capital playbook.

What is he trying to tell us?

Elon Musk is Colonizing Earth

“In this town, almost every communal space is private property. A company controlled by the world’s richest man owns nearly all of it. He shapes its future.”

Sound familiar? (gift link):

AI, Argentina, Antichrist.

Peter Thiel’s decision to plant roots in Argentina makes a lot more sense now that President Javier Milei has unveiled plans to ban AI regulation and allow "non-human" corporations.

The "Network State" rears its ugly head.

That's Network State shorthand for parallel strategy: Do to (institution) what Elon did to Twitter.

Buy it, gut it, purge it, and create a twisted version that serves tech fascist oligarchy. We will see this over and over again, so it's crucial to know it's a strategy with a name.

Silicon Valley's plan to buy up all the power and remake the world is the subject of my forthcoming book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy."

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy.

Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc.

Some call it the "Network State."

East Coast podcasters are pumping California Forever, the massive private city tech billionaires seek to build in Solano County.

But the project aligns suspiciously with a cultish dystopian movement to build so-called “network states.”

They don't mention this:

My first book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War On Democracy," will publish on August 18.

It tells the true story of how a small cult of venture capitalists embraced a grim prophecy in which technology will destroy the United States in the 21st century.

And they worked to make it true, pushing their ideas all the way into the core of the Trump regime.

My book is being published in the USA, UK/Commonwealth, Italy and Poland.

“We’re witnessing, in real-time, a profound consolidation of power and collusion among political and tech elites—the ruling class of this country, and the world—wherein the tools and technologies that this industry has built, and continues to build, can now be deployed in service of an authoritarian regime.”

Katie Drummond of WIRED, says the American press is failing to cover the rise of tech authoritarianism. And she has some suggestions for how to fix the problem:

Meanwhile, Peter Thiel quietly invested $50M in the son of Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner.

The younger Döpfner's nickname?

And so began the quest to label Mangione, to pin him down. Is he a tech accelerationist? A Dimes Square neo-trad fascist? A dirtbag anarchist?"

We need a massive public communications campaign to warn the public about crypto.

It should highlight 1st-person accounts of everyday people who lost their money due to the #cryptoscam.

To strike crypto is to stab the heart of the tech fascist movement swallowing our nation.

To start with, we must make "crypto" synonymous with "scam."

The very word must make people reach for their wallets (to make sure they're still there).

Crypto is still small. Most don't trust it.

On the bright side, now the mainstream press will have no choice but to write about network states, algorithm warfare, tech fascism & the plan to replace everything (media, currency, education, government) with crooked crypto versions.

Right?!
