Why Democrats are crushing democracy: The billion-dollar scam behind blue cities



What explains the Democrats’ anti-democratic turn?

The underlying issue is that "democratic" governments are actually wildly democratically unpopular.

Basically, Washington, D.C., and its Western European satellite states would not retain control — or the ability to steal as much money from their people — if they allowed truly free speech and free markets.

Blues are getting innocent people, largely minorities, addicted to drugs in order to make money for their NGOs. They're also letting innocent people get attacked on the streets. Blues are befouling their own neighborhoods for a quick buck. This is genuinely evil behavior.

And that's why they've become so anti-democratic:

  • Building one-party states (e.g., California)
  • Faking the news (e.g., Russiagate)
  • Censoring the internet (e.g., Hunter Biden story)
  • Show trials of political opposition (e.g., Trump)
  • Weaponizing commercial law (e.g., Elon Musk and Delaware)
  • Arresting tech founders (e.g., France)
  • Imprisoning people for tweets (e.g., U.K.)
  • Blowing up Nord Stream, then covering it up
  • Funding COVID-19, then hiding that too
  • Fomenting war and cold war everywhere

The list goes on and on. This is also why they blather so much about democracy. Censoring the Hunter Biden story during the 2020 election shows they're about as genuinely "democratic" as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Indeed, communist states also called themselves democratic repeatedly for very similar reasons. Just as "communism" meant one-party rule by the Communist Party, this type of "democracy" just means one-party rule by the Democratic Party — or the Democrats' wholly owned blue subsidiaries in places like the U.K. and France.

To prove it, ask a partisan Democrat if he would push for actual democracy in the sense of competitive multiparty elections. Of course not — if Democrats reduced gerrymandering, they might elect a Republican! And that of course would be an attack on "democracy." Thus does the epistemic loop close.

Anyway, the whole point of Western anti-democracy is to frustrate the democratic voice of the people in favor of one-party control by an illegitimate, parasitic regime. But why?

But why?

Why do Blues care about control so much? Are they simply sadists who want to see the streets of their own capitals covered in filth while innocents are assaulted by criminals?

That's surely part of it. Another huge part is that Blues are more interested in stealing money from people via $100 billion trains to nowhere than in any kind of genuine public service. And that is why they will fight so bitterly to retain control: Blues are looting historic amounts of money and want to continue doing that.

The blue business model

This is a huge concept, but you can get the idea in just one graph from the city of San Francisco. Note how the budget of this homeless "prevention" agency went from $200 million to over $1 billion per year, while the homeless population skyrocketed?

That's because these Democrat drug dealers get paid for increasing the homeless population.

They do the marketing by putting up billboards for hard drugs. They manage the supply chain by handing out syringes. They secure the real estate in the form of "safe injection sites." And they handle compliance by suing in the courts and abolishing the police.

And that is why blue cities have become s**tholes: because Blues get paid for making them into s**tholes! This is the Democrat scam. They are McKinsey for MS-13, essentially management consultants for murderous drug dealers.

Blues have their smarts, though. The primary blue business model innovation is to avoid taking a small cut of a $10 fentanyl transaction in lieu of taking all of the $1 billion-plus for fentanyl "prevention."

Blues are, in short, criminals posing as cops. Like the Communist Party, the Democrat Party is a pack of government criminals. You can see it from their sympathies — among other things, this is why Blues wanted to abolish the real police, so they could loot in peace.

That's also why they destroy democracy in blue-controlled areas like California: By turning them into one-party states, they avoid all accountability for their crimes.

Prove and scale

Once the homeless industrial complex model was proven in San Francisco, it was scaled to the rest of the U.S. and the world.

Going from $200 million to $1 billion per year is huge! It's more than Uber makes in SF. If that was a venture-backed business, you'd scale it everywhere.

And so the Blues did. Thus you get San Francisco on the Seine. Paris imported not just the tech of California but the woke of California as well.

Now you might say: Well, this is unethical!

And of course, the Blues who do this completely lack ethics. Blues are getting innocent people, largely minorities, addicted to drugs in order to make money for their NGOs. They're also letting innocent people get attacked on the streets. Blues are befouling their own neighborhoods for a quick buck. This is genuinely evil behavior.

But we know that kind of person exists. After all, that's why drug dealers exist. And that's why Democrat drug dealers exist.

That’s why they do it

So that's why Western anti-democracies will fight so hard to remain in power: because they want to steal your money because of the blue business model.

And the blue business model isn't limited to Democrat drug dealing, of course. There are endless variations, both American and foreign. Some examples:

a) Blues made money from the $100 billion California train to nowhere, which produced billions for unions and zero miles of rail.

b) Blues made money by forgiving student loans for Blues while imposing punishing taxes on Reds.

c) Blues make money from every bill they pass, which always include appropriations for blue-controlled universities or subsidies for blue-controlled nonprofits.

d) And above all, Blues make money by literally making money — by printing money via the Fed. This is the largest theft in human history, and the printed bucks go largely to Blues.

There's more I can say, but you start to get the point. Western anti-democracies are cracking down on democracy because they want to protect the blue business model. Many Blues just wouldn't have as much money or as much status without their parasitic states. So trillions of dollars are at stake, and they will play for keeps.

PS: There's only one force that's stronger than blue, and that's orange. But that's a topic for another day.

Can 'cryptocredits' replace Stanford? Bitcoin pioneer launches Network School



Unless you've been living under a rock on some distant planet, you’re probably aware of the ideological capture that's taken root in U.S. universities — and, more broadly, across the Western education system.

Once considered places where minds were expanded and intellectual growth was fostered, these institutions now resemble echo chambers where perspectives are narrowed and critical thinking is sacrificed at the altar of ideology. Graduates don’t just emerge with distorted mindsets; they impose their problematic perspectives on broader society.

The school’s mission is to unearth what Srinivasan calls 'dark talent' — no, not criminal masterminds capable of taking down a nation's power grid. Rather, these are individuals brimming with potential, many of whom are often overlooked by the conventional education system.

So what can be done? How do we reclaim education from this downward spiral? Enter Balaji S. Srinivasan, a man with a radical plan to shake things up.

A doer, not a dreamer

Srinivasan, a 44-year-old American entrepreneur and investor, is no stranger to innovation. He served as the chief technology officer of Coinbase and was a general partner at the renowned venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. With a résumé like that, it’s clear that Srinivasan isn’t just a dreamer — he’s a doer.

Raised on Long Island, Srinivasan is a Stanford graduate through and through, holding bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering, plus a master's in chemical engineering, all from the prestigious university. But despite his deep roots in traditional academia, he’s recognized the flaws in the current system.

He's also come to grips with the downfall of his alma mater. The very institution that gave Srinivasan his academic credentials is one of those universities that has fallen prey to the ideological capture he’s rallying against.

In response, he has launched a controversial new initiative: the Network School

'Dark talent' wanted

To say the Network School is unconventional is an understatement.

It's an online-first school designed to provide continuous learning, fitness, and community, especially for those who don’t have access to traditional elite pathways.

The school’s mission is to unearth what Srinivasan calls 'dark talent' — no, not criminal masterminds capable of taking down a nation's power grid. Rather, these are individuals brimming with potential, many of whom are often overlooked by the conventional education system.

The school, set to open its doors on September 23 with a physical campus in Singapore, blends structured and unstructured learning. Every day, according to its founder, students will tackle problem-solving tasks that earn them “cryptocredentials” — non-transferable NFTs that serve as proof of their skills. These credentials will form part of a larger “cryptoresume,” a portfolio that verifies expertise across both technology and the humanities.

It's certainly a fresh, digital twist on education, but is it more snake oil than substance?

Strange bedfellows?

Speaking of snake oil, one notable figure contributing to the school’s ambitious approach is Bryan Johnson, a man I have written about before. Best described as a mash-up between Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Michael Jackson, the 47-year-old Johnson is by far the best-known biohacker on the planet.

A tech entrepreneur who now wants to live forever, Johnson will bring his Blueprint fitness and nutrition program into the educational mix. In plain English, Blueprint consists of a carefully managed plant-based diet paired with a demanding exercise routine that covers strength training, cardio, and flexibility.

But I ask, why is Bryan Johnson involved? His role in the Network School seems more like a flashy add-on than a substantive contribution to education.

Cryptocred credulity

Graham Hillard of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing higher education in the U.S., told Align that while "traditional academia needs to be challenged, we should remain cautious about institutions offering cryptocredentials." Hillard, who frequently writes on the troubling state of U.S. universities, is absolutely right.

While the traditional system certainly needs to be challenged and “dark talent” should be given the opportunity to flourish, we must carefully analyze the alternatives being offered.

Is the Network School really that different from Andrew Tate’s Hustlers University or Patrick Bet-David’s "university"? I ask this because the similarities are striking, particularly when it comes to the lack of accreditation.

Where will these graduates go once they emerge from the Network School?

Yes, they’ll have “cryptocredentials” and a shiny “cryptoresume,” but will these carry any weight in the real world? Absolutely not. Try landing a role at Costco, Chevron, Citibank, or the local construction site with a cryptoresume, and there's a good chance that security will either laugh you out of the place or show you the door.

This isn’t to dismiss the Network School’s potential or suggest that it is an outright scam; rather, it’s to highlight that while the school is designed to tackle a genuine problem, its proposed solution raises more questions than it answers.

Align contacted the Network School for comment but did not recieve a response.
