My first interview of 2026 was a follow-up interview with Flemming Blicher. We discussed:

* the importance of hard copy books in an era of digital manipulation;

* my new website and Substack’s submission to the UK and Australian Online Safety Acts;

* the books I am reading at the moment;

* my top three book recommendations for understanding the political economy of the present;

* the problem of whom to trust in the alternative media;

* state infiltration of alternative media;

* the three camps of awareness;

* the fourth Omniwar symposium;

* the nature of the Omniwar and why it is happening;

* the invisibility of the Omniwar — evil genius;

* the increasing militarisation of the domestic environment in the West; since “9/11,” pointing towards the remaking of the entire world in Gaza’s image if the global technocratic coup is not put down;

* digital technologies as weapons;

* the rise of the digital state;

* the Internet of BioNano Things and the complex question of what was in the “Covid-19 vaccines”;

* what was the purpose of the “Covid-19 vaccine” rollout?;

* “collateral damage” and the shots;

* the longue durée; and

* my 2013 journal article on the course of Western civilization between 1492 and 1517 and between 1989 and the present.
