Very nice report on the fire at North Hyde substation which took down Heathrow in March.
tl;dr:
* Fire was caused by moisture ingress in a high voltage bushing which was detected in 2018 but got lost in the system.
* North Hyde is an ageing substation which didn't have adequate protection against spread of fire
* Heathrow didn't think that a loss of grid feed was a plausible risk, so they assumed 10-12 hours was a reasonable recovery time from that.
I don't think I can get away with reading a 77 page document while at work, but the highlights certainly look interesting. One for later!
Certainly interesting that the suppliers don't necessarily know that there is CNI hanging off a particular substation

What voters actually want is for the NHS to work properly, fairly & efficiently.... and that can only be achieved with a renewed commitment to full funding!

"The Digital Democracy Deception"
by Courtenay Turner
Part 1 July 2nd
===============================
In an era where digital technologies increasingly shape democratic participation, a constellation of initiatives promises to revolutionize governance through artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. At the center of this movement sits the AI World Society (AIWS), a Boston Global Forum initiative that advocates for “digital democracy” and “ethical AI governance. ”Beneath the progressive rhetoric of empowerment and transparency lies a more troubling reality: the concentration of power among tech elites and the potential erosion of genuine citizen agency.
This analysis examines the growing influence of AIWS and related digital democracy projects, revealing how buzzwords like “democratization”, “decentralization” and “empowerment” may mask concerning limitations that threaten personal sovereignty and cognitive liberty.
TLDR:
=====
The Bottom Line: What's marketed as "digital democracy" is actually a sophisticated power grab by tech elites, transforming genuine civic participation into managed participation theater while threatening cognitive liberty itself.
The Elite Capture Machine
-------------------------
The AI World Society (AIWS), led by former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis and Vietnamese entrepreneur Nguyen Anh Tuan, exemplifies how "digital democracy" initiatives concentrate power among academic and political elites. Their latest venture—blockchain-certified "Esteemed Digital Assets"—literally tokenizes political legacies, creating artificial scarcity around historical narratives while an elite board of MIT and Harvard affiliates controls the curation.
Even more concerning is their "Music for Humanity" initiative, which uses "AI-amplified music" for what can only be described as emotional engineering—bearing striking similarities to the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative's attempts at technologically-mediated consciousness manipulation.
Taiwan's "Success Story" Exposed
--------------------------------
Taiwan's vTaiwan platform, celebrated globally as a digital democracy triumph, reveals the fundamental flaws in these systems when examined closely. The brutal reality: only 0.04% of Taiwan's population actually engaged with the platform, and legislators admitted they don't take it seriously because the government isn't required to adopt recommendations.
This isn't democratization—it's participation theater that serves educated, urban elites while excluding rural, elderly, and less tech-savvy citizens. The platform "hasn't been used for any major decisions since 2018," proving that ultimate power remains concentrated in traditional institutions.
Blockchain Voting: The Constitutional Trojan Horse
--------------------------------------------------
MIT cybersecurity experts have issued devastating warnings against blockchain voting, demonstrating these systems create "undetectable, nation-scale election failures". Real-world pilots validate these concerns: West Virginia's blockchain voting was hacked within 72 hours, while Nevada's system allowed undetectable vote alterations.
Yet "Third Way" movements like Andrew Yang's Forward Party continue promoting blockchain voting as democratic innovation. This represents a deceptive advance toward technocratic governance that would replace constitutional accountability with unaccountable algorithms.
The Cognitive Liberty Threat
----------------------------
The convergence of AI, neuroscience, and ubiquitous computing creates unprecedented opportunities for surveillance and mental manipulation. AIWS's combination of AI-generated content, blockchain-certified narratives, and "AI-amplified music" represents a sophisticated approach to shaping public consciousness.
Chile recognized this threat by becoming the first country to enshrine neurorights in its constitution in 2021, prohibiting non-consensual neural data extraction and the buying/selling of brain data. Colorado followed with America's first neural data protection law in 2024.
The Academic Warning
--------------------
Research consistently reveals that "the field of e-democracy has generally failed to live up to its own reformist rhetoric". A UC Berkeley study found that college graduates are 1.5 times more likely to blog, twice as likely to post content, and three times more likely to comment online compared to high school graduates. Less than 10% of the U.S. population participates in online content creation, making digital platforms "more of a playground for the affluent than a digital democracy."
The Pattern Revealed
--------------------
The evolution from 2012's grassroots g0v movement to 2025's AIWS ecosystem reveals a clear trajectory: genuine civic tech innovations have been captured and transformed into elite-controlled systems that maintain the rhetoric of empowerment while concentrating decision-making power.
The Choice Before Us
--------------------
These aren't innovations—they're digital feudalism disguised as democracy. The infrastructure being built would permanently replace "We the People" with "We the Algorithms," creating what critics call a "velvet-gloved architecture of control" where every click, vote, and potentially even brainwave feeds systems designed to shape behavior in ways both unseen and unaccountable.
The time for vigilance is now. Citizens must reject blockchain voting, expose elite networks funding these initiatives, and demand genuine cognitive liberty protections before this digital cage masquerading as liberation becomes inescapable.
The future of human agency hangs in the balance—and the tech elites are betting you won't notice until it's too late.
