Balaji represents the quintessential enemy - a parasitic leech who has built his trade not on the expansion of genuine infrastructure or extrastatecraft mastery but hyperfinacial vaporwave and LinkedIn vibes . The Network State in principle has much that one can discern and learn from but in reality and practically it is a front for American Imperial machination akin to the establishment of…
FitnaPunk: high technology and low futuwwa, instantaneous high technology and liquid modernity fused with collapsing soulcraft. Technology itself is forever frozen and ossified as a leveraged form of extrastate craft, but remains unexplored as terrain for mastery and sovereignty. One must pay debts to those who build with silicon. In FitnaPunk, amongst sprawling metropolises and silicon jungles…
Monstrosities are a curious thing. Monstrosities are viewed with a sense of repulsion, but inevitably they must yield some sort of power to those who are brave enough to first of all conceive, create, and then deploy them. Traditional Islamicate commentary that hone in on the military-industrial complex and systems of hyperfinance/financial manipulation make a great fuss on the monstrous part, but…
The Warhammer Islamicate is a fearsome, confusing wreck, a force that propels and accelerates but is broken at its core and haunted by the possibility of what it should have been, what it could have been. Weighed down by innumerable sins, it still grapples and pursues its path through the chaos of the Interregnum. Innocents sigh under its expansive weight whilst it wages wars of survival, always…
The Twelver has wandered now for what must be counted as decades, a span perhaps sufficient for the Desert to inscribe itself into the very marrow of those who dwell within its bounds, that Desert which is not the geological fact of sand and rock and relentless sun but that other sort, the one Baudrillard named when he spoke of the liquidation of the Real into its own Hyperreal simulation, though…
The Sinwar Wars and the End of the End of History The contemporary epoch, defined increasingly by the kinetic, epistemological and metaphysical rupture of what must be termed the "Sinwar Wars," marks the definitive, unceremonious collapse of the Cybernetic Hypothesis in the Middle East. 1 For decades, Global American Empire (GAE) operated under a profound delusion: the belief that the world, and…
With the seemingly momentous dumping of what appears to be millions of emails from the infamous Epstein saga by the Department of Justice, we are witnessing a form of large-scale epistemic and cognitive warfare conducted by intel agencies. The sheer volume and unadulterated nature of the release leaves little opportunity to sift, contextualize, or construct any coherent narrative around the…
The notion of ubiquitous, subscription-based technology has become a staple of postmodern life since the 2010s. Slowly but surely, the infrastructure of daily existence has migrated to the Cloud under the guise of convenience and speed. The initial techno-optimist altruism and hacker spirit of owning property, defined by the possession of powerful hardware and the means to own data independently…
The present phase of American decline cannot be adequately understood through narratives of partisan dysfunction, technological disruption, or moral degeneration, because such accounts remain confined to surface phenomena and episodic failure. What is at stake is a deeper transformation in the structure of power itself, one in which the production of durable institutions and the reproduction of…
I anticipated a few years ago that with Musk's takeover of Twitter, we will see it collapse into essentially a captured algorithmic ecosystem (an " Everything App ") for a nexus of interests from cogwar intel agencies to corporate interest. One only needs to look at the state of the timeline following the recent American adventure in Caracas to see how this has panned out exactly as predicted. The…
