UPDATE August 19th, 2026:

“Digital Gulag” was originally published in December of 2025. Recently, Ridgecrest was sued by the State of California for non-compliance with the “Housing Element” law. “State of Emergency” is confirmation of the fact that when it comes to state mandates for housing development and regulatory capture of “groundwater” via SGMA, you will own nothing and be happy in Ridgecrest California.

The Digital Gulag is now becoming painfully obvious with LPR’s and a planned data center in Inyokern. Big Brother is watching you…

Ridgecrest California

No, it’s not a dystopian clown show with purple-haired people eaters, operating in an insane asylum called the City of Ridgecrest with a city clerk filling the role of nurse Ratched, but it’s close.

As we close the year out with a great sense of relief that Kamala Harris wasn’t elected to be President of the United States, we can only hope that President Trump doesn’t fall to an assassin’s bullet or another impeachment attempt should the rabid anarchists in the Democrat Party take control in 2026.

And we still have sentient AI to worry about in either case.

THIS:

• State owned Public Schools,
• Property Taxes with built-in 2% annual increases (compounded)
• Public schools (assessments added on property taxes)
• Hospitals (assessment districts-to be added on property taxes)
• Property – Housing Element requirements “shall be” on everything
• Property – Building Code requirements “shall be” on everything
• Homeowners insurance (State Insurance program = taxes)
• Banks are leaving, only ATMs are needed
• AI Cashless society = No need for ATM’s (or Credit Unions, or Bruen for that matter)
• Transaction taxes on everything (3% to 4% paid to banks)

PLUS THIS: (Public Utilities and Public Safety)

• Water systems and State-owned groundwater
• Energy (Oil Same as water)
• Mining (Minerals Same as water)
• Agriculture (fallowed land = food scarcity/higher food prices)
• Internet/AI Data Centers (Need water, Control the population)
• Militarized Police Surveillance State – Fear based control – LPR’s, Drones, SWAT, Bearcats
• Consumption fees: Sales Taxes
• Labor income: Taxed
• Capital gains: deferred or n/a

EQUALS Total surveillance and control of all resources and human activity (Slavery).

Everything and everyone is taxed, controlled and surveilled.

Period. End of Story.

Get out of California while you still can (with tax-free capital gains).
