This episode breaks down what really happened on July 25th—and why it matters far beyond Britain. We cover:

* The EU's "EUDI Wallet" and China's internet ID, side by side
* State-funded police teams tracking "anti-migrant sentiment"
* The 1,400% surge in VPN use—and why that's not enough
* What living in East Germany taught me about underground networks
* And why browsers can be switched off, but brotherhood cannot
The free internet is closing. The next phase isn’t digital. It’s human.
