Is “Roe v. Wade” REALLY about abortion? Kit Knightly A few hours ago the Supreme Court of United States (SCOTUS) confirmed their ruling overturning  Roe v. Wade , the case which set the precedent for abortion as a human right in the US back in the 1970s. As soon as this decision was first  “leaked”  a few months ago it became the trending topic all across the US and to a certain extent the rest of the anglosphere.

Zoltan Istvan Foresees the Ultimate Race War – Legacy Humans Versus the Cyborg Swarm Transhumanism is the quest for total digitalization. If the movement succeeds, there will be no escape Joe Allen designprojects © 123rf.com True revolutions aren’t peaceful transitions of power. They usually culminate in waves of bloodshed. The old has to be purged, and because the old never wants to be purged, that means violent suppression. Most often, whoever has the most sophisticated technology is victorious—with few exceptions. The emerging transhumanist revolution, still in its nascent phase, may be no different. The former journalist and largely overlooked Transhumanist Party presidential candidate,  Zoltan Istvan , is fairly certain of that outcome. In a November 2020  interview with  Quartz ,  he was asked where the world will be in fifty years. Istvan predicted Armageddon: A great transhumanist war will occur between those who embrace radical technology in their bodies and...
