In Part 1, we dissected how the “Praxians”—the Silicon Valley-rooted wing of the global oligarchy—have seized control of the second Trump administration. We considered how their technological partnership with the Israeli government has enabled them to deploy their “digital kill chain” in Gaza. Here, in Part 2 of what is now a three-part series, we will focus on how these Praxians employ State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) and show how they benefit from practically every SCAD move. As we pick apart propaganda narratives, we’ll come to terms with the hybrid war we’re all now fighting, whether we know it or not.

In Part 1, we discussed how a group of Silicon Valley oligarchs, the self-professed “Praxians,” have seized control of the Trump administration and have aligned themselves with the “startup nation” of Israel. In my latest book, The Technocratic Dark State, I refer to the Praxians as NEONERDS, but we’ll continue to use their own moniker in this series of articles.

In Part 1, we also explored Praxian companies’ practical symbioses with Israeli SIGINT, especially Unit 8200. The evidence strongly indicates that the October 7th Hamas attack, which the Israeli Zionist Likud government cited as the justification for its genocidal destruction of Gaza, was a LIHOP false flag attack, in which an unknown number of Israelis were evidently killed—not by Hamas, but by their own military. That the attack proceeded unimpeded as it did was officially attributed primarily to SIGINT “failures.” Thus, the strong possibility exists that the Praxians participated in the extraordinary sequence of supposed SIGINT mistakes, oversights, and miscalculations that allegedly enabled Hamas to attack Southern Israel virtually unopposed.

The result of this LIHOP false flag attack was the deployment of the Praxians’ genocidal kill chains in Gaza. And now we have a larger Middle East conflagration. Not only have Israel and the US jointly attacked Iran, but the Israeli government, with Praxian kill chain assistance, is attempting to do to Lebanon what it has already done to Gaza. In Part 3, we shall see how the Praxians’ fingerprints are also observable in so-called intelligence “misjudgments” that led the US, for otherwise inexplicable reasons, to attack Iran.

Also discussed in Part 1 was how the Praxians have used their signature investment strategy—which they call “accelerationism”—to disrupt everything from markets to international relations by deploying “creative destruction” as their version of a “revolutionary tool.” Indeed, just as the Praxians’ accelerated “digital kill chain” is central to the devastation of Palestinian lives, so is it now featuring in a “new kind of war” in the Middle East.

 

The Praxian Genocidal Kill Chain – Part 1

In this two-part article series, Iain Davis examines how a class of Silicon Valley oligarchs have set about destabilising the planet in order to achieve their goal of a multipolar world of interconnected smart-city states; that is, a regionalised world that they and their oligarch partners will rule as neofeudal monarchs. In Part 1, Davis focuses on the deceit this oligarch network is using to drag us all to ruin and how it is controlling the Trump administration, whilst Part 2 will focus on their neocolonial ambitions in the Middle East.

In this article, Part 2, we will examine the many unusual aspects of the Israeli–US’ alleged “war” with Iran. Regardless of the questionable, even nonsensical, motives of the pair of aggressors, the global ramifications of the conflict are all too real. Since “Operation Epic Fury” was launched on February 28th, many lives have been lost and the world has been dramatically changed.

As we will discuss in more depth in Part 3, the interruption this conflict has caused to global energy corridors, to supply chains, to commodity and financial markets, and to international relations is supposedly forcing the world to reset everything—from national economic and security priorities to foreign policy and trade agreements. Consequently, a new international, tokenised monetary system, in which our digital identities will be fused to our programmable digital wallets and currencies, is imminent.

Through the tried-and-tested metamorphic strategy of war, we are being accelerated toward a new multipolar world order (MWO). Gaza is therefore destined to be the exemplar of the new web of private-sector “smart city”-states that will form the “patchwork of realms” of this emerging multipolar world.

We will tackle many of these topics in Part 3. But before that, we first need to understand how the Praxians and their oligarch partners—who have exerted their global influence for centuries, far longer than the Praxians—continue to manipulate and control populations the world over. The social engineering techniques that oligarchs use were described by Professor Lance DeHaven-Smith in 2013, when he coined the term State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs).

DeHaven-Smith noted that SCADs are often designed to “foment social panic [and to] encourage militarism” and are frequently “associated with wars.” He wrote:

Many SCADs and suspected SCADs are associated with foreign policy and international conflict. [. . .] SCAD patterns are macro-discoveries showing that what at first look like random events, when examined collectively and comparatively, are not random at all. Many political crimes and suspicious events affecting or involving elites [. . .] share various characteristics. They often employ military skills and tactics, cause social panic and militarism in the [. . .] mass public, and encourage belligerency in [. . .] foreign policy. [. . .] With the SCAD construct, we make the cynical assumptions that (1) officials in investigative positions will actively avoid evidence of government involvement and will, instead, gather supporting evidence for theories that exonerate officials who may be suspect; and (2) officials in operational positions will exploit the crimes to serve their agendas, hidden and otherwise.

In this article, I am making the same assumptions that DeHaven-Smith does. I do so only because that is what the evidence suggests.

We will now look at the evidence revealing that the Israeli–US “war” with Iran is almost certainly a SCAD. It is demonstrably a deliberately engineered conflict designed to advance a a specific oligarch agenda. It is not “war” in the way most of us understand the meaning of that word.
