Digital ID in the UK, EU seizes Chinese chip maker in Holland, Liberal/Communist party ghost The Rebel, CBC uses Soviet style mockery theatre on Ostrich issue and more: Links post 1 for Oct. 18, 2025

1. This is a 26 minute video on current events in the markets, but also very real and measurable geopolitical interactions with the market that matter, no matter how you may decide they matter.

JU who posted this video to the comments offers this analysis of it:

Financial markets are violent. Regional U.S. banks are starting to crumble. Precious metals have been wild, expressing in their own way some pending event.

There are so many things going on that it is difficult to choose the most salient news. Marching through this information jungle is mandatory, however, lest we be utterly lost and defeated.

Here is a sharp analyst who offers a unique observation. He reports that a Chinese chip company in the Netherlands has been nationalized by that government under the guise of national security. He pounds the proverbial table saying this is as massive an event as any other in terms of government assault on private property ownership. If government will do this what will it take next? Your house? Your silver?

He is not hyperbolic. He rationally states his case on a number of topics including the rise in metals and what it means, and where they are at in terms of correcting down or continuing to rise.

In fact I sent this interview to a metals broker I know. Silver is in backwardation now, along with freedom. This means that I don’t want to accept the paper promise of the return of my freedom in 60 days with interest. I want it right now, but cannot get it because it is in such short supply. My fear is that the freedom mining company will be nationalized before stock from the ground is brought to the marketplace of ideas:

Note the title of the video: Gold Confiscation Risk Explodes; EU Seizes Chinese Chip Giant, Mikhailovich Says it’s Act of War

EU Seizes Chinese chip maker by nationalizing it. China will respond. It doesn’t look good.

There was another very very significant case of IP theft from EU facilities in Holland that changed the world’s geopolitical map quite a bit. This documentary was broadcast on CBC before it became the dialectical weapon of mass destruction against Western Civilization and in particular, Canada as it is today.

2. State top apparatchik responds to narrative-challenging question from Ezra Levant: What can we learn from the meta data on this answer. And it is an answer:

OK let’s use reality to extract an answer from this event. Rebel News was granted the right under law to ask questions. So the state, (note I don’t say gov’t) responds with a tactic. ‘Ignore Rebel as a threat to the use of weaponized narratives against Canada’. So the silence  is an answer which means: ‘This is a communist authoritarian polity. We do what we intend for the revolution and there will be no transparency or oversight to any aspect of state operations by real media. Only state directed propaganda agencies may interact with the apparatchiks.”

Again, I have no idea what the deal is with the Ostriches. But we can determine a LOT from the actions of those agencies which have a state monopoly on the use of force. And those actions indicate authoritarian reasoning, methods, tactics and outcomes. The fact that they are controlling what people think of as private property for an extended period of time. That they have disabled the cameras of the lawful owners of the property so that state actions on the farm cannot be observed or reported on. That structures have been built on the property to obscure their actions. That agencies like food inspection or whatever it is, seem to be able to command vast police resources, both local to the farm and federal such as the RCMP tell you a great deal about the situation with the ostriches. Much like the damned vaxx debate, it was never about if they worked or were safe. It was ALWAYS about if the state had the right to destroy your basic fundamental right to determine what medications you would take or not for your own reasons. Freedom in that case could be formulated by the simple right to do your own risk benefit assessment.

In this case we see the state destroying any and all ideas of both private property and transparent operations . Not to mention VASTLY increased powers by obscure apparatchiks who are supposed to be looking at restaurant floors. Not hiding their faces in full HAZMAT suits while standing right next to RCMP and police personnel not even wearing a stupid surgical mask. That fact alone tells you all you need to know about the ostriches frankly.

In other words, the ostriches are basically another incident towards the state officially replacing all pronouns with “Comrade”.

3. And exactly as CBC mocked all who dared even question the various Covid and Vaxx narratives from 2019 to 202-now, the CBC has launched critical theory “mock the rubes” attacks on anyone who is wondering exactly WTF is going on with the ostriches exactly.

So a couple of years ago…

Both videos are worthy of Soviet level agitprop.

4. It looks like CBDC was the decoy to get us not to be as concerned about digital ID, which will do exactly the same thing. If you have to show your digital ID before you can buy anything, then having cash or gold or anything else won’t help you if the retailer has to account for his inventory digitally.

5. This presents rather interesting legal dilemmas. It would be great to have a proper lawyer break this down.

We have already detailed how we view this kind of police action. It doesn’t matter if it is a Star of David or a strip of bacon or a black dog or a burning Koran or anything else that Muslims or communists would use as an excuse to violence. The police have now become tools of the Communists and Muslims for exactly this reason. The dialectic in play is ‘Harm reduction’ when really it is civilizational deconstruction with an eye to making it as low profile and non-violent till the point where no one can do anything about it anymore. We may already be there frankly.

6. Nice to see Montrealers counter-protesting the destruction and hate coming from the Muslims and communists.

Thank you all for checking out this site.
