Jan. 1, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ —These sources collectively examine the multifaceted influence of think tanks as essential intermediaries between complex academic research and practical governmental action.

Jan. 1, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — The “Fifth Industrial Revolution” (5IR), is a shift from tools that we control to environments that control themselves. It frames the future not as a collection of gadgets, but as a totalizing system—the “Cathedral”—where the infrastructure itself makes moral and economic decisions. The Dark Industrial Cathedral is built on surveillance, extraction, and algorithmic control. The primary task for 5IR leaders is “engineering ethics into infrastructure” by embedding human values directly into the code. Continue reading →

Dec. 31, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — As of 2025, the global economy is projected to reach approximately $115 trillion, even as it faces a staggering $338 trillion in total debt. Within this landscape, artificial intelligence has emerged as the foundational infrastructure of a Fifth Industrial Revolution, with the AI economy expected to contribute over $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. This technological shift is characterized by the rise of AI sovereignty, where control over data and models defines geopolitical power. While automation and AI agents enhance productivity and business valuations, they also present significant risks regarding cybersecurity and the potential erosion of human identity. Ultimately, society faces a critical choice between using these tools to foster human dignity or allowing them to create a future defined by algorithmic surveillance and control. Continue reading →

Dec. 30, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — Private associations and “secret brotherhoods” remain highly relevant and controversial in the modern era. AI might interact with these organisations in an age of data-driven transparency and AI-led surveillance, the human-to-human, unrecorded nature of secret brotherhoods might become even more relevant as a way for individuals to maintain private influence outside of digital footprints. However, you may want to independently verify how AI specifically impacts the social standing of such groups. Continue reading →

Dec. 29, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The Metropolitan Police is currently facing a legal challenge from the Freemasons regarding a new policy that mandates officers to disclose their membership in the organisation. This directive was introduced by Sir Mark Rowley to address concerns regarding institutional impartiality and historical allegations that such secret ties could foster corruption. In response, the Grand Lodge has applied for a High Court injunction, arguing that the rule constitutes religious discrimination because members must possess a faith to join. The organisation further accuses the police force of legitimising unfounded conspiracy theories and failing to conduct a proper consultation before implementation. Conversely, the Met maintains that the policy is a necessary step to bolster public trust and ensure that personal loyalties do not conflict with official duties. This dispute highlights long-standing tensions surrounding masonic influence within British law enforcement, dating back to investigations such as the Daniel Morgan murder inquiry. Continue reading →
