There was a time — not so long ago — when the empire thought it had locked down the future. Every wire, every satellite, every chip was stitched into the bloodstream of imperialism. The cloud was American. The code was American. The currency of data, like the dollar, flowed one way — toward Wall Street, toward Langley, toward Silicon Valley’s swollen belly.
But history has no patience for delusions. And on April 29, 2025, in Shanghai, history sent another signal. China’s President Xi Jinping stood before the BRICS New Development Bank — not just to celebrate AI progress, but to tighten the bolts of a new digital insurgency rising from the Global South.
Reuters, ever the dutiful butler of empire, framed it as a “routine” event. (Reuters) A polite meeting. A hand wave at innovation. Nothing to see here, citizen. But buried under their grey prose is a deeper truth: the architecture of empire is buckling. The wretched of the earth are learning not just to rise — but to code, to connect, to construct futures outside the crumbling corridors of Washington and London.
Weaponized Information isn’t here to read you the news. We’re here to excavate the war raging beneath the headlines. The digital world is the new battlefield. And comrades, the cracks are spreading fast.

II. Excavation of the Propaganda
Reuters didn’t lie. They didn’t have to. Empire’s finest scribes know that silence is sometimes the deadliest weapon.
The article mentions Xi’s praise for China’s AI progress. His handshake at the BRICS bank. A nod to “cooperation.” And then… nothing. No context. No stakes. No mention of sanctions, embargoes, surveillance, or sabotage. No whisper of the empire’s real fear: technological defection from the West’s decaying operating system.
Reuters, born from the financial information networks of 19th-century Britain, today operates as a core amplifier of imperial consciousness. Its dispatches are echoed by CNN, Bloomberg, BBC, all piping the same sterile narrative into the bloodstream of global capital. Meanwhile, imperial think tanks like the Atlantic Council and RAND lubricate the machine with “analysis” — warnings of “digital authoritarianism” if the empire loses its monopoly over code and cloud.
Who gains from this omerta? Big Tech monopolists — Amazon, Microsoft, Google — whose servers hold the empire’s secrets. Defense contractors whose algorithms guide the drones. Hedge funds whose bets depend on keeping the Global South tethered to U.S.-made hardware and U.S.-approved software.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a managed hallucination. The empire’s greatest weapon was never just its bombs — it was its ability to make you forget who built the bombs, and who profits from their blast.

III. Objective Reality vs Ideological Fiction
Step back from Reuters’ fog, and the real battlefield comes into view.
Xi’s visit wasn’t a courtesy call. It was a frontline inspection. It capped a $10 billion Chinese initiative to fortify AI sovereignty, expand semiconductor independence, and build out cloud and quantum infrastructure with BRICS partners. China’s moves aren’t simply “catching up” — they are charting a path away from empire’s control grid altogether.
Meanwhile, the BRICS New Development Bank has already financed over $40 billion in projects to stitch together a new world — one fiber cable, one chip fab, one data corridor at a time. Projects designed to bypass SWIFT, Amazon Web Services, and Silicon Valley’s imperial nodes.
Reuters would have you think this is ordinary diplomacy. It isn’t. It’s coordinated rebellion. Every yuan-backed loan for an African tech hub. Every BRICS-funded semiconductor alliance. Every AI ethics framework that excludes Washington’s corporate fingerprints. These are acts of defection from the hyper-imperialist order.
Objective reality? The digital plantation is fracturing. And the masters are scared.

IV. Historical and Material Context
Empire’s dream was always simple: wire the world, harvest its data, privatize its futures.
The internet itself was not a gift — it was a weapon, born in Pentagon labs to map and manage a planet in rebellion. Silicon Valley was never a free market miracle — it was a defense contractor garden, seeded with CIA cash and fertilized with surveillance ambitions. “Innovation” was simply imperialism by other means: encrypt the banks, monitor the workers, bomb the rebels by drone and by data.
The Global South was wired into this system as consumer and raw material — never as sovereign architect. African cobalt for batteries. Latin American labor for assembly. Asian servers leased, not owned. And all of it governed by Western laws, Western clouds, Western code.
China’s emergence — and the BRICS technological bloc — threatens this architecture at its core. “Made in China 2025” wasn’t an economic policy. It was a declaration of war against the old digital empire. The Belt and Road isn’t just a trade network — it’s an escape route from financial colonialism. And BRICS financing isn’t charity — it’s the foundation of a parallel world, one data center, one quantum chip, one sovereign satellite at a time.
This is why the empire rages. Not because they fear “competition,” but because they fear defection. A future they cannot monopolize is a future they cannot survive.

V. Empire’s Strategic Interests and Class War
Let’s put it plain: Silicon Valley is not a “disruptor.” It is the imperial core’s digital Praetorian Guard.
Export bans on chips. Sanctions on Huawei. Propaganda against TikTok. These are not fits of technological jealousy — they are acts of class war against sovereign development. The empire’s goal is crystal clear: to strangle any alternative tech ecosystem in its cradle, and to discipline the Global South into permanent technical dependency.
The weapons are many: sanctions dressed as “security measures,” propaganda disguised as “fact-checking,” coups masquerading as “democratic interventions.” But the objective remains singular: preserve monopoly over the hardware, the software, and the rules of the digital world.
The architects of this strategy? Wall Street investment houses banking on monopoly rents. Defense contractors fusing war algorithms into AI frameworks. Tech monopolists patenting the very infrastructure of global thought. And a political elite — bipartisan, technocratic, ruthless — who understand that sovereignty in the 21st century is encoded not just in treaties and armies, but in fiber optics and semiconductor lithography.
BRICS is prying open this monopolized system. And for the first time in decades, the empire is fighting on the defensive in its own digital heartlands.

VI. Revolutionary Clarity and Mobilization
Empire’s cables are fraying. Its satellites drift. Its servers sweat. And its hired pens, from Reuters to the New York Times, scribble faster and faster to patch up the illusion.
But no illusion can erase material reality. Multipolarity is no longer a theory. It’s material — written in the new fiber networks across Africa, the new chip alliances across Asia, the new trade routes across Eurasia and Latin America. Sovereignty is no longer a dream deferred. It’s being coded into existence — line by line, cable by cable, struggle by struggle.
Comrades, the digital world is a battlefield. There is no neutrality. Every cloud, every chip, every algorithm will either serve the empire — or serve the people rising against it.
Weaponized Information calls upon you:
– Expose every lie that masks imperial sabotage as “security.”
– Defend every act of technological sovereignty as revolutionary struggle.
– Build alliances across borders, across platforms, across fiber and code.
– Understand that the next great struggle is not only for land or labor, but for the infrastructure of consciousness itself.
Empire will not cede its networks without a fight. Neither will we.
The circuits of hyper-imperialism are fraying. The multipolar world is wiring itself together.
The colonized are coding back.
