Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Solaire Report. My name is John Titus. I am the co-host and co-producer of Money and Markets with Catherine Austin Fitz. I also have my own video channels on several platforms, YouTube, Odyssey, and BitChute. That channel is called Best Evidence on all three platforms. This special report of the Solari report, this production,

in fact, is going to appear on Best Evidence, my channels, one month after posting on Solari.com, which will happen on December 18th for Solari and roughly January 18th of next year on my channel. Today, I am joined by Ian Davis, who has just published a terrific new book called The Technocratic Dark State, Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship.

I can tell you, as I told Ian when we talked about this book, it’s one of two books that I’ve read cover to cover in the last 20 years. It is absolutely masterful summary of what the tech bros have been up to. I’ve been kind of watching like, what are they up to?

Ian’s book nails it and describes in excruciating detail what they’ve been doing over the last 20 years and really beyond. There’s several examples from the late 90s where everything sort of fits into place when you read this book. And the book is very thoroughly researched and very well written.

Ian understands how to write and it paints a very dark picture of the digital plantation that we’re all headed for unless we get together and slam on the brakes to avoid the nightmare described in his title, the title of the book, The Digital Dictatorship. Ian is here today. I am pleased to report to talk about this book.

When you see Ian, you will notice that he has two eyes, and so does the spelling of his name, Ian. It’s I-A-I-N, Ian Davis, a name you will want to familiarize yourself with. You can find Ian’s work at iandavis.com. Ian’s published work has also appeared at off-guardian.org. and unlimitedhangout.com, as well as ukcolumn.org.

The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship with Iain Davis (Full Interview)

“In The Technocratic Dark State, Iain Davis has managed to fit the colossal private ship of modern criminal imperialism, fully assembled and illuminated for inspection, within a single glass bottle.” ~ John Titus

Recorded and published December, 2025

In early November, Solari published my review of Iain Davis’s book, The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship—a book I consider an absolute must-read.

Davis is an independent investigative UK journalist and author who publishes at his own website as well as at other New Media outlets such as Unlimited Hangout. The Technocratic Dark State is his fourth book. As I wrote in my review, The Technocratic Dark State “provided so many penny-drop moments that I lost count of them.” For that reason, I was eager to do an interview with him to dive into some of his most critical insights.

Our discussion starts with how money creation relates to the “tech bros,” with Davis’s compelling argument being that the partnership between old-line money creators and Big Tech facilitates two important goals: the continuation of U.S. dollar hegemony and central control of the population. We also explore the concept of “interoperability,” a term I once wrongly dismissed as an empty buzzword.

From there, we take a look at the so-called Dark Enlightenment, consider the tech bros’ use of deception, and discuss features of the digital gulag, including digital IDs, as well as Davis’s ideas about how to resist.

On the topic of resistance, Davis fittingly ends his book with a useful reminder from 16th-century French philosopher and magistrate Étienne de La Boétie:

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”

CREATIVITY! ARTISTRY! IMAGINATION! SPIRITUALITY! HUMOR! LOVING KINDNESS! These are the best ways to fight THEM!

Life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, ‘SMART’, AI, 5G, NO CASH – ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!

AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos – garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!

HELL NO TO GENESIS MISSION/STARGATE/DEEPSEEK! HELL NO TO AI! technocracy.news

I also have a landline, a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, and I never had or will have those infernal mobile devices designed to enslave you. I also use cash as much as possible, no cash is TOTAL SLAVERY.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED ‘SMART’ PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

It is heartbreaking to witness the holocausts happening and so many fellow citizens are brainwashed/bamboozled by the propaganda media, they are oblivious!

MISTAKES WERE NOT MADE! THEY can’t get rid of the ‘useless eaters’ fast enough!

Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections/pills were/are a huge part of their arsenal!

This horrifying Congress Critters, Gates, Governor ‘Gruesome Newscum’, ‘Lone Scum’, Soros, ‘Benedict’ Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and ‘Ramaswampy’ et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous ‘PUBLIC SERPENTS’ infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

Can’t say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source – it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!

The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free! We the People must stop them, there are a lot more of us than them!

Please check out this substack! ponerology.substack.com

JAB INJURIES: GROSS CALAMARI BLOOD CLOTS/AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.

And BIG pHARMa is an arsenal making permanently sickly addicted slaves dependent on their products – the complete opposite of actual health.

Can’t say this often enough!

SCREW THE HYPOCHONDRIA GERMAPHOBIC FEAR HYSTERIA! DO NOT CONSENT! Avian flu is for the birds! RESIST!

KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!

Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

Ban all vaccine jabs! There has never been a ‘safe and effective’ vaccine since Edward Jenner’s fraud over 200 years ago as per ‘Dissolving Illusions’ by Suzanne Humphries and ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ by Anonymous. Health can never come from a needle or pills, but from healthy eating, healthy exercise and healthy living! virustruth.net

Divide and rule! Agents provocateurs anyone, FALSE FLAGS, propaganda social engineering psyops? Keeping us proles at each others’ throats while the globalist technocrat predators laugh all the way to the BIS and The Bank of Rothschild’s!

BURN BACK BETTER!

PSYCHOPATHS! MEGALOMANIACS!

Bless and thank you for doing what you do.

Some crucial facts about the banking system:

Banks do not hold money, and they do not lend money either.

They create money out of thin air.

When someone deposits money with a bank, the bank does not store that money; it simply invents the corresponding amount and adds it to its accounting records.

When a bank lends money, it does not transfer money.

It simply enters the corresponding amount into the debtor’s account, thereby inventing money out of thin air.

A banking license is essentially the permission to invent money.

As long as banks lend money to entrepreneurs and self-employed people so that they can invest in their businesses, the creation of money is justified.

This is especially true for lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, as these are the backbone of the economy.

It’s not the few large corporations that create most jobs, but the countless small and medium-sized enterprises.

They are the ones that ensure healthy competition and innovation.

The number of smaller banks, which are naturally responsible for these productive loans, has declined significantly in recent years.

This inevitably has dramatic negative consequences for smaller businesses, thus inhibiting productivity, innovation, and job supply.

Loans for consumption (consumer credits) or for the purchase of shares or real estate increase the money supply in circulation without providing additional productivity and inevitably lead to inflation.

In recent years, consumer credits and loans for investment in non-productive assets have increased dramatically, leading to high inflation.

The average citizen is suffering enormously from the constant increase in consumer goods prices.

Furthermore, due to the overpriced property prices, most people are unable to afford to own a home.

They have to pay a considerable part of their incomes for exorbitantly high rents.

In the area of stocks and real estate, the constant price increases are often misinterpreted as a boom. Investors are pumping ever more money into these markets, thus inevitably creating a gigantic bubble.

In the expectation that the considerable price increases will continue and in the hope of offsetting the losses caused by inflation, the stricken citizens often invest their last savings or borrowed money in the stock market, thereby further contributing to the inflation of the bubble.

Essentially, this is a gigantic Ponzi scheme in which the average citizen can only lose. Unlike banks and major investors, they can hardly predict the time of the inevitable collapse.

The whole thing is a massive system of fraud that has been repeated at regular intervals for decades and consistently leads to a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top.

The problem is not capitalism.

The problem is that, contrary to widespread assumption, we do not have a free market economy.

The increasing globalization of recent decades, which is inevitably linked to centralization and overregulation, unilaterally favors large corporations and destroys the middle class.

This system is neither capitalistic nor merocratic.

It has more in common with communism, whose core feature is extreme centralization.

In any case, this has nothing to do with democracy and a free market economy.

It is, rather, an autocratic oligarchy or corporatism.

Also read my article on how the ruling class invented fiat money to rob humanity:

All fiat (not generated by the market economy and having no tangible standard of value) currencies have the feature known as the “velocity of money” which, IMO, is tantamount to the rigged game which the late George Carlin called the club none of us can join. In the velocity feature the farther one is from the origin/issuer of money the more onerous the debt service of that money is and its purchasing power becomes linearly ldiminished (slower). The trap is like a cam spring; the more you try to release it the more the trap tightens.

We should stop referring to the “Federal Reserve” Dollar as the “U.S. Dollar”. The U.S. Dollar pursuant to the Coinage Act of 1792 is “… to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver[.]” The corruption of the Federal Reserve” Dollar began its peak on January 1, 1965 when nickel plated copper coins replaced most U.S. 90% silver coinage (while Kennedy halves briefly retained 40% silver for a few years) and achieved total corruption on August 15, 1971 with the gold forfeiture of the Bretton Woods Agreement under the Nixon Administration. That corrupted Federal Reserve Dollar doesn’t deserve to be a world reserve currency any more than the Zimbabwe Central Bank Dollar.

Sorry, but the wonderful author here does not understand, nor explain, that the new digital system will not be a monetary system, for the people, at all — as that is only a promised, temporary, phase.

The new digital system is a total control system of the people — who will be controlled and incentivized not by money at all, but by a digital token (reward & punishment) system. The surviving population will own nothing at all, and will not have any access to digitalized monetary values under their own control…

If confused, think about an elementary school teacher who uses teacher created “tokens” as incentives to motivate the children in class. In this incoming digital situation — on a global scale, which will be combined with wireless and other technological communication means, an individual will experience instant control over every aspect of function and life.

I recently bought this book and can’t wait to dig into it.

The description here of The Dark Enlightenment may bring new light to the UN’s Transformational Governance Corporate Toolkit.

Quote: “The toolkit provides a comprehensive view of internal governance and the strengthening of public governance institutions for businesses, enabling them to integrate policies that benefit not only themselves but also their stakeholders and the societies in which they operate.”
