To every American about to vote in the midterms, and to every Western nation: this is a very important message. It explains why there is chaos everywhere. The West never understood communism. And that is exactly why it's sick with it. We were taught that communism was an economic mistake. Bread lines, failed five-year plans, the USSR collapsing in 1991. Case closed. Wrong. Economics was only the surface. The core of communism is the systemic lie. Not one man's lie: the lie as social architecture. A system where truth is no longer discovered but assigned, where language no longer describes reality but covers it up. Poles have words for this. Zakłamanie: a society so saturated with lies that truth becomes almost unreachable. Obłuda: hypocrisy performed for so long that the mask becomes the face. English has no equivalent. That's no accident. You don't have a word for a wound you never lived through. And without the word, you can't recognize the disease when it comes back in a new costume. My thesis is simple: the West has been infected. Not by Soviet tanks, by the software. And most of our current dysfunction flows from it, first and foremost. Look at France. Over 57% of GDP in public spending. Debt approaching 120% of GDP and still climbing. Not a single balanced budget since 1974. Fifty years. That's not a policy anymore, it's a condition. And every year, with a perfectly straight face, we're told that this time it's discipline, that the social model is saved, that everything can be funded without anyone paying. That's zakłamanie, social-democrat edition. The founding lie is that you can redistribute wealth without caring who creates it. That the state can absorb more than half the economy and the economy will stay alive. It doesn't work. It holds as long as you can borrow, until you end up borrowing to pay the interest on what you already borrowed. We have no gulags. But we have the structure: a state that plans, subsidizes, regulates every move, and a political class whose real job is managing the gap between what it says and what actually happens. Macron is the perfect embodiment. His signature "en même temps" ("at the same time") is Orwell's doublethink turned into a doctrine of government: hold two contradictory propositions and demand that everyone accept both. Liberal in speech, while debt goes from roughly 100% to nearly 120% of GDP on his watch. Édouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal: same school, same grammar. Fiscal seriousness at the podium, rising debt in the books. And the worst part isn't that they're cynical. It's that after reciting the script for so long, they no longer see the gap. That's exactly what people from the East describe: at its mature stage, the lie isn't cynical anymore. It's believed. This isn't just a French story. In the US, a growing part of the Democratic Party has adopted the same grammar: truth becomes a matter of belonging, disagreement becomes violence, language gets rewritten by moral decree. Wokeism is the same operating system with a new interface. The proletariat replaced by identity groups. The class enemy replaced by the "problematic." Public self-criticism replaced by public apologies online. A Pole, a Czech, a Hungarian recognizes the pattern in three seconds. We see a slightly excessive but well-meaning movement. That's where everything is decided. You can't fight a disease you can't name. The debt, the deindustrialization, the collapse of trust in institutions, the political paralysis: this isn't a series of accidents. It's what happens when a society stops paying the price of truth. The first task is to relearn how to say what is. The rest will follow.

German MEP Christine Anderson completely torches Mark Carney in Strasbourg. Calls him Stupid and calls Canada a "living hell" and suggests another Convoy should happen and she is correct.

Every communist story has the same ending:

“He jailed socialists, so he wasn’t a socialist.” This is the argument every single person in my replies thinks is a mic drop. It’s actually the weakest one available, and it collapses in five seconds. Lenin banned the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries. Both were socialist parties. By your logic, Lenin wasn’t a socialist. Stalin shot Bukharin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, and sent an ice axe through Trotsky’s skull. All of them were founding fathers of the Bolshevik revolution. By your logic, Stalin wasn’t a socialist. Mao purged Liu Shaoqi, the President of the People’s Republic, and let him die in a cell. Pol Pot murdered his own cadres by the thousands. Robespierre sent Danton to the guillotine, then got the guillotine himself. There’s a reason Vergniaud said the Revolution, like Saturn, devours its own children. Purging rival socialists isn’t evidence against collectivism. It’s one of its most reliable signatures. Why? Because when the state decides everything, there can only be one plan. Two factions with two plans for the same economy can’t coexist. One has to disappear. In a free society, disagreements get settled by markets and elections. In a planned society, they get settled by the secret police. Hitler crushing the SPD and the KPD, then murdering Röhm and Strasser in his own party, is exactly what you’d predict from a regime competing for the same thing: total control of the economy and of society. And that’s the real question. Not “what did he call himself” and not “who did he arrest”. The question is: who runs the economy? Under the Nazis, independent unions were abolished and replaced by a state labor front. Prices and wages were frozen by decree. Investment was directed by a Four-Year Plan. Private property existed on paper, as long as owners did exactly what the state told them to do. Hayek saw this in real time. He dedicated The Road to Serfdom “To the socialists of all parties” precisely because he understood that the planners of the left and the planners of the right were the same species. Collectivism isn’t a color on the political spectrum. It’s the belief that a central authority can and should direct the economy. Once you accept that, the purges, the camps and the one-party state aren’t accidents. They’re the operating manual. So no, “he jailed communists” doesn’t refute anything. Communists jailed communists for seventy years. Read Hayek. Then come back.

I don't think you realize how lucky we are to have an Elon Musk at this level, actually fighting this thing. Because let's be clear about the sides. On one side, the people. The vast majority. Common sense, hard work, family, and one simple wish: to live in peace. On the other, an illegitimate elite. Mostly globalist, which at its core is a communist project: managing humanity from the top, like a system. And since that project doesn't work (it has never worked anywhere), they survive in only one way: lies. To hold on, this elite built systems of coercion and corruption. Ukraine is one of them. They've also captured and corrupted a huge share of the institutions that were supposed to protect us. Take Bill Gates. On this line for years. It's no accident he ended up at the heart of Covid policy. Just ask yourself: why is a software billionaire talking directly to Fauci before the vaccine rollout even starts, as if he were part of the operation? These people see humanity as a herd to be administered. But they're terrible at economics. They don't understand their model can't work. So instead of saying "we were wrong, let's change," they lie. They double down. And that's exactly what makes them dangerous. Honestly, this system was almost impossible to break. And then, by the most improbable of chances, there's one man. The richest man in the world. Who chose the side of the people against these illegitimate, mostly left-wing elites. And who's throwing all his power into this fight. The system is dying. And he's the one pushing. Think for two seconds. If Elon wanted to enslave humanity, he could have done it long ago. All he had to do was make a deal with the globalists. He'd have everything he wants, right now. He did the opposite. That should tell you whose side he's on.

Elon Musk often says there's a good chance we're living in a simulation. Let's take that seriously for a second. If we're in a simulation, it isn't absurd to think everyone arrives with a role: a mission, a trajectory, something to accomplish. What our education system does is erase that role. It takes curious, unique children and turns them into NPCs, characters who recite their scripted lines, never ask questions, and follow the script. But if everyone has a role, some roles carry more weight than others. Some characters serve the lie. Others come to break it. For 30, 40, 50 years, we've lived in a world built on lies. Everyone knows it. Corruption sits on every floor, and institutional lying is accepted as normal. It isn't even an accident anymore. It's the system itself. Experts know and stay silent. Media know and cover it up. Officials know and sign anyway. Then a player showed up with a quest: restore truth to the system. In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand imagines John Galt, the man who stops the motor of the world. He pulls the creators out of a system that lives off their work while despising them, and he lets it collapse under the weight of its own lies. Musk goes further than Galt. He doesn't just stop the motor of the old world. He builds a new one. SpaceX takes access to space away from governments and bureaucracies. Tesla rebuilds energy and transportation outside the cartels. X gives speech back to the people it was taken from. Each company is a brick in a parallel system built on a single rule: reality. A rocket can't lie. A battery can't lie. An open algorithm can't lie. That's what terrifies the other side. A lie only survives as long as there's no alternative. The moment another system works in plain sight, the old one becomes indefensible. Covid was the turning point. Before it, most people were asleep. Then they saw what was imposed on them, what was hidden from them, and how anyone who asked questions was treated. They woke up, and people who wake up don't go back to sleep. History will judge this era. I think it will look at the architects of this system of lies the way we now look at collaborators. So I'm speaking directly to the people on the inside. The ones who know, the ones who've seen, the ones who lie every day knowing they're lying. From a purely rational standpoint, if I were in your shoes today, I'd ask myself one question: how do I cross over? The answer is simple. You speak. You say: "I was inside a system I no longer believed in, and today I'm telling the truth." You publish what you saw. You name what you kept quiet. It isn't too late, but the window is closing. In this simulation, everyone can still choose their role. Choose the right one while there's still time.

You don't understand anything happening in the US right now unless you read Elon Musk all the way through. When he says that by 2036 money won't matter anymore, most people hear a billionaire's provocation. I hear something else. Money is the fuel of every corruption system. Earmarked subsidies, public contracts negotiated behind closed doors, lobbies, front NGOs, regulatory rents. The day AI and robots produce more than humanity can consume, that lever disappears. And everyone who lives off that lever disappears with it. There are a lot of them. And they've understood perfectly. That's why we're now reading that Musk is preparing for "war" if Democrats take back Congress. He's not the one declaring war. It's an entire system that knows it's fighting for its survival. Because we're at a turning point in human history. And there are only two ways out. Either the Democrats win, and we enter 1984. A hyper-class that controls the AI models, the robot fleets, the data, the currency, and owns 99% of everything. Below them, the rest of humanity on life support, dependent on an income that can be granted and taken away. Klaus Schwab's Davos Forum summed up this world in one sentence: "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." It's communism, except instead of promising equality, it embraces caste. And for the first time in history, a caste won't need the consent of the people to hold power: robots will do the policing, AI will do the surveillance. Or we build a new order founded on merit, freedom, and private property. Where everyone remains the owner of their life, their work, and their share of the abundance. Where the collective ambition isn't managing scarcity, but understanding the universe and colonizing the cosmos. That's Elon Musk's project. The technology is the same in both cases. What changes is who owns it. Choose carefully which world you want to live in. And beware of socialists who promise to share the pie: they always end up keeping the knife.

🚨 I spend an enormous amount of time trying to understand the chaos we're living through. Not the headlines. The machine behind them. 🚨 If you want to understand what Elon Musk is really fighting, and who is really fighting him, this is the clearest map I can give you. Expensive houses. Expensive schools. Expensive healthcare. Taxes that rise every year while everything gets worse. Borders nobody voted to open. Speech rules nobody voted for. Most people look at this and blame capitalism. The market failed, they say, so the state has to step in and fix it. They have it exactly backwards. What they want to fix it with is what broke it. This isn't chaos, and it isn't capitalism. It has a direction, a method, and a hundred-year history. Let me reverse-engineer it. In 1926, Mussolini's regime threw Antonio Gramsci, co-founder of the Italian Communist Party, into prison. From his cell he asked the question that would shape the next century: why did the revolution win in Russia but fail in the West, where Marx said it was inevitable? His answer: in Russia, the state was everything, so seizing it was enough. In the West, the state was only the outer wall. Behind it stood the real fortress: the church, the family, the school, the press, the culture. Western workers never revolted because the culture held them. So the conclusion was simple. Don't storm the palace. Capture the culture. Win the institutions and you never have to win the argument, because you decide which arguments are allowed. In 1967, the German student leader Rudi Dutschke gave it a slogan: the long march through the institutions. Paris supplied the intellectual software, and I've already apologized for my country's part in that. Then came the most patient operation in modern history. The students of the 60s became the professors of the 80s. Their students became the journalists, judges, civil servants and HR directors of the 2000s. Their students now run the foundations, the NGOs and the agencies. No single step looked like a revolution. That's exactly why it worked. The method was communist. The ambition became global. And it grew like a cancer. A cancer never attacks the body head-on. It hijacks the body's own cells and feeds on the body's own resources. This system never had to defeat the West. It just had to make the West pay for it. In America, the machine found a political home: the Democratic Party. Not the millions of decent people who vote for it. The apparatus. The donor networks, the activist groups, the consultants, the captured agencies that keep moving in the same direction whoever wins. In Europe, it found something even better. The EU's founders, Schuman, Adenauer, De Gasperi, were Catholic anti-communists who wanted to make war impossible. But they built exactly what the long march dreams of: power that never has to face a voter. A Commission nobody directly elects holds the right to propose laws for 450 million people. Chat Control. The digital euro. Speech rules written in Brussels. Nobody stormed anything. They just drafted it. Add the World Economic Forum, the UN agencies and the global foundation circuit, and you have the full map. You don't need a secret meeting when everyone went to the same schools, reads the same papers, funds the same NGOs and flies to the same conference in Davos every January. It's not a conspiracy. It's a class with shared incentives. That's harder to fight, because there's no headquarters to raid. And the billionaires? Most people who became the richest in the world got absorbed. They built something real, then traded it for an aura. Bill Gates is the perfect example: he built the software that ran the world, then became the bankroller of global health bureaucracies and the funder of newsrooms covering his own causes. Laurene Powell Jobs bought The Atlantic. Benioff bought Time. You're not buying a business. You're buying the right to be called good by the people who decide who is good. That's the corruption. Not suitcases of cash. Money for aura, grants for loyalty, NGOs for policy. All legal. All invisible. Here's the proof it's one system and not a hundred separate problems. Look at what happened to prices over the last 25 years. Everything exposed to markets and technology got cheaper: TVs, software, phones, clothing. Everything controlled by institutions exploded: college, healthcare, childcare. And housing, where you need a committee's permission to build anything. Same country, same economy, same decades. The difference isn't the product. It's who controls it. Taxes go up and services get worse, because the money doesn't reach the services. It feeds the layers. Immigration happens at a scale no electorate clearly chose, because for a system that lives on managing problems, more problems means more budget. And a two-income family today can't buy the house their parents bought on one salary. That's real poverty, manufactured by a machine that is rewarded for looking good, never for being good. MAGA isn't the cause of the chaos. It's the immune response. Brexit, the farmers' revolts, the votes shaking every European capital: same thing. The body finally noticed the tumor. So what we're living through is not a normal political cycle. It's a fight to the death between two models. One runs on the perception of goodness. The other runs on reality. And it had to be the richest man in the world. Anyone smaller would have been bought, sued or cancelled. Every billionaire before him took the deal. Elon walked out of the club and turned the lights on. He bought Twitter for $44 billion, opened the Twitter Files and gave the world back a public square where any narrative can be checked in real time. He went inside the government and helped shut down USAID. Now Politico announces that the Democrats' gavels are coming for him. His answer: he'll find out who is really pulling the strings and go after them, not just their puppets. He has one line he keeps coming back to: he cares about the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. That sentence is the whole war. Now the part that makes me certain of how it ends. A lie is expensive to maintain. It needs gatekeepers, censors, fact-checkers, friendly journalists, a budget, and constant repairs every time reality contradicts it. The truth costs nothing to maintain. It just keeps being true. AI is driving the cost of checking anything toward zero. Any budget, any study, any statistic, any promise, audited in seconds by anyone with a phone. Yes, AI can generate lies at scale too. But producing a lie is cheap. Defending it against a billion instant audits is impossible. That's what acceleration really means. It doesn't pick sides. It speeds up feedback loops. Systems aligned with reality compound. Systems built on lies hit the wall faster. And you cannot build rockets, design chips or cure diseases with a false model of the world. Physics doesn't read op-eds. The more intelligence we pour into the world, the more expensive every lie becomes. You cannot scale a lie. You can only scale what's true. We are close to the collapse of the old order and the birth of a new one. Not the one from the WEF's own 2016 video, "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy." The opposite. An order built on truth-seeking, efficiency, science, private property and free markets. You will own things. You will build things. And you'll be happy, because it will be real. Gramsci's long march took a century. Its collapse will take years. History will remember this moment. A man walked into the most powerful machine ever built, refused the deal everyone else took, and chose reality over perception. I have never been more optimistic.

Some fools still think the legacy news is real. Amazing.

I love the simulation argument. Elon just brought it up again in his interview with Walter Isaacson on The Builders podcast: if we live in a simulation, the boring simulations get shut down. The mere fact that we still exist means ours is interesting to watch. His conclusion: don't be boring. Isaacson replies that this explains a lot about him. A permanent crusade against boredom. It sounds like a joke. I think it's one of the deepest ideas you can have about our era. Because if you take it seriously, then any vision of society where everything becomes predictable, frozen, administered, risk-free and horizonless isn't just sad. It's an existential threat. And it has to be fought. Look at the history of humanity. From day one, we've done one thing: expand. Leave Africa. Cross oceans without knowing what was on the other side. Tame fire, then wheat, then the horse, then the atom. Nobody asked us to. It's what we are. Western civilization has been the most spectacular engine of that drive. The great explorations, the scientific method, the entrepreneurial spirit. And when that drive met intelligence applied at scale, it gave us the Industrial Revolution. In two centuries, we covered more ground than in ten thousand years. Expansion went exponential. And you find that same need everywhere once you start looking. The athlete who wakes up at 5am to shave off a tenth of a second. The artist who destroys their work because it's not good enough yet. The founder who quits a comfortable job for something with a 90% chance of failing. The country that decides to go to the Moon not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Always the same thing: seeking adversity. Pushing past yourself. Going further than where you were yesterday. To me, it's a natural law. Not an ideology, not a trend. A law. Life wants to expand. A cell divides, a forest spreads, a species conquers. We do exactly the same thing, just with rockets and code. And here's what happens when we stop. When a society decides that progress is dangerous, that risk must be banned, that the future should be managed rather than built, everything becomes boring. People stop projecting themselves forward. And when people stop projecting themselves forward, they stop having kids. That's exactly what we're seeing today. Birth rates are collapsing across the entire developed world. People talk about money, housing, climate. All of that matters. But I think there's something deeper: you don't have kids in a world that has lost its story. You have kids when you believe tomorrow will be bigger than today. And Europe is the perfect example. The continent that invented modern science, the printing press, the steam engine, that sent ships to the edge of the world, is dying today. Not from war. Not from invasion. From boredom. We're run by boring bureaucrats whose only horizon is not breaking anything. Their reflex when facing a new technology isn't to build it, it's to regulate it. When facing risk, it isn't to take it, it's to ban it. When facing ambition, it's a form to fill out. We produce more rules than companies, more committees than rockets. The result: our best engineers leave for the US, our startups raise money elsewhere, AI is being built without us, and we comfort ourselves by saying at least we regulated it well. A continent that no longer takes risks isn't a cautious continent. It's a continent that has already decided to exit history. So we have no choice. A static civilization doesn't stay stable. It declines. Slowly, comfortably, then all at once. If everything becomes static, we will eventually go extinct. Not in fire. In boredom. The only way forward is to accept risk. To accept that some things will go wrong. To accept that building, exploring, inventing breaks things. And to keep moving forward anyway, as a civilization. Go to Mars. Build AIs that surpass us. Push back aging. Have kids. Build absurdly ambitious companies. Simulation or not, the conclusion is the same. Stay interesting. Or disappear.

🌹⛔️🇨🇦🗳️: Danielle Smith vows she will never hold another referendum on Alberta separation, as long as she is Premier of Alberta.

Carney and the liberals are signing Canadian taxpayers up for Generational Debt, your grandkids will still be paying the EU trading bloc billions annually to withdraw, the UK is still paying for Brexit. Once Canada becomes an Associate member of the EU, if it decides to withdraw from the EU trading bloc which it pays approximately six billion annually for membership fees there is an exit fee. The financial settlement for the United Kingdom's exit was ultimately estimated by HM Treasury to be around £30.2 billion to £42.5 billion paid out gradually over several decades. While direct budgetary payments to the EU budget ended, the UK continues to pay an ongoing "cost of Brexit" in the form of reduced trade, lower gross domestic product (estimated by economists at roughly a 6% hit to the economy), increased customs paperwork and overheads, and lost tax revenues. If the UK ever reverses course and attempts to rejoin the European Union, independent estimates from think tanks like the Bow Group project that annual gross contributions could range from £28 billion to £41 billion per year. The EU Associate membership is nothing more than a trap for Canadian Taxpayers.
