Get Your Authoritarian and Totalitarian Dogs off My Yard!

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Bandoxa, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Our service provider OpenAI could not process my prompt due to a moderation system. Please try to rephrase it changing potentially problematic words and try again. What a pile of dreck!

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,  oh boy, what a title! The minutes resemble the most boring bar mitzvah planning committee meeting in known history. Instead of arguing over chopped liver versus sushi and bara brith, they’re plotting to control the entire planet. And the punchline? It’s fake. A total forgery. A hoax so clumsy it makes a three-euro bill look like the genuine article. Yet this thing refuses to die. It’s like an unfortunate relative who keeps showing up at Thanksgiving with the same tired stories.

Sir Afilonius Rex

Bilbao, Spain. 13th December 2025

Oh, Europe, pronounced terminal yet again. This time, a Radically Human Ventures sage delivers the verdict. He is part probability theorist and part story-driven paterfamilias. He assigns the continent a 5% chance of civilisational survival. Meanwhile, he composes a moist-eyed farewell to the “Old Continent.” It’s an elegy made from familiar spare parts. It includes a dash of Peter Zeihan’s geopolitical fatalism and a sprinkle of Silicon Valley panel wisdom. There’s a belief that the future will be dominated by two AI giants. In this scenario, Europe is merely a polite museum gift shop.

Afilonius Rex, Bilbo, 22nd January 2025.

“They are so blind that they prefer to harm millions of Spaniards in order to erode the government. Feijóo is willing to go blind in order to make Sánchez one-eyed.” These were the recent words of Oscar Puente, Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of the Government of Spain, referring to the extreme rightwing opposition in Spain, led by the Galician Nuñez Feijoo, and consisting of the Popular Party, the ultra-right Vox, and JUNTS, the extreme rightwing catalán nationalist party.

Dynamiting Spanish Politics

Dynamiting Spanish Politics

Afilonius Rex, New York, 18th January 2025

The right in Spain offers no realistic alternatives in terms of coherent and cohesive policies, principles and initiatives. They offer no leadership, ideas or statesmanship. Their opposition is not based on respectable alternatives but on lies, defamation and smears.

Bornheim, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany – 25th August 2017

When you offer people all of the benefits of the single market and the customs union, but without any of the EU bureaucracy, constraints and costs, what happens?

We ran an experimental consultation last year in the UK just to demonstrate what happens when bat-shit-crazy mad-cow Britain has a chance to throw a spanner in the works. Some people will inevitably believe the boloney whilst others will use it as a mere tool in a simple-minded and obtuse attempt to rationalise their own irrationality and misanthropy. Nobody can throw a spanner in the works quite like the Brits.
