Not long ago, claims that the world was moving toward a global digital dictatorship were confined to people who demand the government reveal its alien contacts and believe tinfoil clothing protects them from electromagnetic radiation. Those halcyon days are gone, and today leading investigative journalists use the phrase “digital gulag” without irony. At ForkLog’s request, Roman Korolev, author of the Telegram channel “Dark Culturology,” examines this new reality by tracing the roots of conspiracy beliefs about the coming of the Antichrist, an infernal computer and a concentration camp encircling the entire globe. Religious fear of the machine Many conspiracists argue humanity is on the final turn toward a total system of suppression and control that uses computer technologies to surveil people and strip them of their freedoms — in short, a “digital concentration camp.” Conspiracy believers inclined toward religiosity often equate this looming cybernetic world of universal unfreedom with the Kingdom of the Antichrist, to be established before the Second Coming. “Human technophobia is a permanent phenomenon, but it is in the second half of the 20th century that fear of new technologies begins to take on a religious underpinning,” Igor Kuziner, a scholar of religion, told ForkLog. According to him, scholars of conspiracy theories identify several causes. One is the atom’s entry into human life, including its terrifying military use in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Another, perhaps the most important, is the growing complexity of technologies to the point where they become a “black box,” hermetically sealed from the average person. A 19th-century technopessimist could hate a steam engine for threatening his job, but at least he could see how steam moved pistons and grasp the principles behind it. The modern person, who spends much of life in front of a screen, usually can’t fully explain how a computer works. The post-silicon-revolution world is more complex, and complexity inspires fear. “But computers will become part of everyday life later, in the 1990s. In the 1960s–70s, the main threat conspiracists saw in them was that they would become part of government bureaucracy. In radical American Protestant circles, the idea spread that the government was concentrating financial levers in its hands in order to control the economy and all human life through calculating machines. This coincided with the global fuel crisis, when after another Arab-Israeli war Middle Eastern countries refused to export oil to the US, and prices on everything else rose with the fuel. And despite their marginality, such ideas became quite popular in the US,” Kuziner says. For someone raised in a Christian culture, the notion that things are moving not toward progress but toward a fatal catastrophe would hardly seem new. After all, that is precisely the scenario foretold in the Bible, which prophesies that before the end times will come the Great Tribulation — a period of immeasurable suffering and unimaginable cruelty. Since the days of Roman persecutions, Christians have seen in the surrounding world signs of that prophecy’s fulfillment. Anglo-Irish clergyman John Nelson Darby, who in the 19th century had a profound impact on Protestant fundamentalist culture, quite precisely calculated the Great Tribulation to last seven years. Roughly midway, according to Darby’s projections, a totalitarian dictatorship of the Antichrist will be established, with the figure hiding his true nature behind the mask of a charismatic peacemaker until the appointed time. He will gain a plenitude of power humanity has never even imagined and will wield it for persecution, torment and terror on an unprecedented scale. Dire as that sounds, Darby predicted the suffering would be comparatively short-lived: just three and a half years until Christ returns to earth and routs the Antichrist’s army at Armageddon. The truly righteous, he said, won’t have to suffer at all, because at the start of the Great Tribulation the Lord will “rapture” them to heaven, where they will remain with the Savior until his return to the world. Authors who extended this line of thought, as noted by American sociologist Michael Barkun in “A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America,” tended to equate the Antichrist’s unprecedented managerial abilities, as foreseen by Darby, with the development of information technologies. Indeed, in the second half of the 20th century what better tool could there be than television for the Son of Perdition to attain worldwide fame and infect minds with sweet lies? It took a few decades to learn the tool truly exists — and it is the internet. Soft Black Stars by Current 93 Likewise, street cameras and tracking features embedded in electronic devices will be used by the Antichrist to monitor billions, while barcodes containing the “mark of the beast” will let him seize complete control over their economic lives. He will ultimately abolish cash altogether so every transaction runs on credit cards through a banking system under his sway. Having realized his plans, the Antichrist will govern the world via a supercomputer capable of analyzing and predicting the behavior of everyone on earth. As Barkun writes, for some conspiracists “Antichrist and computer became virtually interchangeable.” In a more extravagant version, he himself is an ultra-powerful calculating machine to which humanity voluntarily cedes global power. A generator of evil To understand how such beliefs spread, we need to introduce another Protestant preacher: American David Wilkerson, who in 1972 produced the pseudo-documentary “Rapture.” It depicts a future in which news anchors report events heralding the Great Tribulation: the sudden disappearance of millions (including people behind the wheel of cars or at aircraft controls), earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other displays of nature’s fury. As part of the film’s promotion, Wilkerson published a newspaper, “Signs of the Times,” filled with similar Great Tribulation fantasies. One article is written in the voice of Dr. Hendrik Eldeman — a fictitious “chief analyst of the Confederation of the Common Market.” He describes a supercomputer in Brussels spanning three floors, named “The Beast,” which plans to assign “every citizen of the world a number used for all buying and selling.” The number, invisible to the naked eye, will be laser-etched on the forehead or back of the hand, turning every person into a walking credit card. Notably, Wilkerson did not hide the fictional nature of these articles. Yet within months, his fellow evangelical Protestants were writing in their outlets about the Beast as established fact. The theory was relayed in that key, for instance, by preacher Mary Stewart Relfe in her 1981 Alabama book “When Your Money Fails: The 666 System in Action.” As writes Russian anthropologist Alexander Panchenko, “Relfe paid special attention to the development of international payment systems and the spread of plastic debit cards, which, in her view, were to become the main instrument of humanity’s economic subjugation. In Relfe’s book, the story of the Brussels computer and Dr. Eldeman was repeated several times. Moreover, it stated that the ‘little beast’ in Brussels would soon be replaced by another supercomputer located in Luxembourg.” By 1983, Athonite monk Parthenius included an alarming message about the Beast in his apocalyptic pamphlet “Troubling Signs of the Times,” distributed among Greek laity. Evidently, Relfe’s book was the source that carried the legend of the infernal computer beyond Protestant fundamentalism and into other conservative Christian circles. Researchers have established that even before the Soviet Union collapsed, the awful truth about the Beast computer spread in Old Believer circles via samizdat. After the USSR’s dissolution, nothing stood in the way of such rumors. Russian monarchist writer Sergei Fomin, a proponent of the Jewish-conspiracy idea, mentioned the Beast in the bestseller “Russia Before the Second Coming,” published in 1993 by the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. The demonic computer also drew sharp condemnation from seer Ioann (Veniamin Bereslavsky), founder of the “Center of the Mother of God,” and Maria Devi Christos (Maria Tsvigun), leader of the notorious “White Brotherhood.” American scholar of Russian religious movements Eugene Clay notes that the Beast-computer legend was used with equal ease in propaganda by American Protestants, Greek and Russian Orthodox, conservative European Catholics and new religious movements. Apparently, in every milieu the beliefs similarly “expressed anxiety over the state of the economy and deep mistrust of computer technologies, state surveillance, globalization and Europeanization.” On Russian soil, these beliefs soon seeded a movement against taxpayer identification numbers (INN), one of its more prominent figures being the well-known schema-hegumen Sergius, then spiritual father of the Sredneuralsk women’s monastery. In a sermon he foretold the advent of “electronic slavery by devil-like people who will be eternal inhabitants of hell. The inscription is the barcodes on products and things. Everyone has an INN, and it contains three sixes. The seal of the Antichrist will deprive a person of God’s grace. If you consent to the processing of personal data, all information about you is transmitted to the world computer located in Brussels. Its name is BEAST.” Typical Orthodox-fundamentalist agitation against “the Beast.” Source: Eesti Rahvaluule. Now schema-hegumen Sergius — too conservative even by Russian Orthodox Church standards — has been defrocked, placed on the federal list of terrorists and extremists, and is serving time in a penal colony. But the concepts he promoted, of course, have not disappeared. These ideas took root in Russian society amid post-Soviet economic turmoil and expectations of an apocalypse in 2000. As we know, nothing happened. That did not stop many intellectuals in these circles from heralding new doomsdays, pushing the date back year after year. During the Covid pandemic, such beliefs gained unprecedented traction worldwide, but Russia has long been at the vanguard of “electronic” conspiracism. The country rebelled against INNs, against new passports whose numbers supposedly add up to “666,” and against vaccinations that would somehow “chip” people. All these fears rest on the belief that the Antichrist will mark us, and we will cease to be people with baptismal names, becoming mere numbers in his vast electronic concentration camp. ‘The Beast’ becomes ‘Hitler’ Contemporary Russian conspiracists do not always lean on apocalyptic imagery borrowed from their American “colleagues.” Instead they may speak the language of pop culture — for example, jokingly dubbing the secret world government’s supercomputer “Computer-Hitler,” a figure lifted from a cult album by the thrash-metal band Korrozia Metalla. Or they call it “Rehoboam,” the name a similar computer bore in the series Westworld. The essence of these beliefs remains the same: evil forces will gather information about every individual into a single electronic system and gain unchallenged power over people by using probability theory to anticipate any possible action. Looking around, many readers may find these fears not entirely groundless. Governments of all stripes are seeking to limit cash in circulation. The global tech elite have long behaved as though they’ve read the grimmest conspiratorial blueprints and firmly resolved to implement them. Nor does it seem far-fetched that the governance of human society could, in our lifetimes, be handed to neural networks — whose diabolical nature is easy to recognize for anyone who has dealt with them even once. Does all this mean the fighters against the “digital concentration camp” were right about humanity’s future? There is a caveat. Sociologist Michael Barkun — with whose work we began — linked the explosive spread of beliefs in a totalizing system of digital control to the end of the Cold War. A special plan of the Antichrist for this world. Source: JungleJournalist blog. Although the US emerged victorious, in the eyes of Protestant fundamentalists the world paradoxically did not become safer. Fear of a communist threat from the East gave way to dread of a global, unified system governed from a single center — stripped of any hint of local identity and equally unfree for all. In conspiracist circles this system became known as the “New World Order.” From the vantage point of 2026, however, reality looks far less like a prelude to a globalist utopia than it did at the end of the second millennium. “Conspiracists are fighting — as if it were inevitable — the idea that our world is developing toward digital globalization, although there are many completely opposite theories: about humanity’s shift to techno-feudalism, techno-nationalism, and so on. It is quite possible we are moving toward global digital fragmentation,” Kuziner concludes. If both proponents and critics of these projects are right, we may be able to say with confidence that the Antichrist’s plans won’t come to pass. Instead of one digital concentration camp for all, we will get many small autonomous camps, divided by borders and implacably hostile to one another. Reader, take comfort.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in collaboration with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) has released a report on the establishment of a separate branch of the military in the US — Cyber Force. Experts estimate the initial budget for the agency will range from $10 billion to $11 billion. The document's authors, including former military officials, believe the new structure will achieve initial operational readiness within 12-18 months. The initiative gained momentum thanks to an amendment by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to the defense budget law for the 2027 fiscal year. According to the report, the project will not require a significant allocation of new funds. Approximately $7.7 billion is already allocated in the Pentagon's budget for cyber operations, with an additional $2.8 billion earmarked for maintaining specialized personnel. The task of Cyber Force is to consolidate these resources, which are currently distributed between Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and other branches of the armed forces. The proposed service will consist of 33,000 personnel, including 20,000 active-duty military members and up to 6,000 civilian specialists. The commission proposed a specific staffing model: the workforce will consist exclusively of officers and warrant officers. Experts believe the absence of enlisted personnel is optimal for a high-tech unit. The report considers two integration scenarios: incorporating Cyber Force into the Department of the Army (similar to the Space Force within the Air Force structure); creating an independent Department of Cyber Forces. The main argument for the reform is the current fragmentation of specialist training. At present, Cyber Command is forced to combine combat management with administrative functions. Cyber Force will take on the tasks of training and equipping troops, while the protection of local information networks will remain under the jurisdiction of existing units. Senior Fellow at FDD Mark Montgomery emphasized that the creation of Cyber Force is inevitable and urged the approval of the service model before a major crisis occurs. In May, the Pentagon signed agreements with Nvidia, Microsoft, Reflection, and Amazon Web Services to apply advanced AI tools in classified military environments.

Dutch company QuiX Quantum has installed the first Feed-Forward Control Unit (FFCU) system designed to manage a photonic quantum computer. The FFCU is part of an automatic navigation mechanism that predicts future errors and adjusts the control signal in advance, without waiting for them to occur. Unlike feedback systems, this solution acts proactively. In this case, the system receives signals from single-photon detectors and converts the measurement results into commands for photonic integrated circuits. This logic is crucial for measurement-based quantum computing. In this architecture, calculations proceed through a sequence where the result of one operation can determine subsequent steps. According to representatives of QuiX Quantum, the FFCU is part of the overall stack of the photonic quantum system, alongside photon generation, multiplexing, state preparation, measurement, and control of the photonic assembly. The current system uses two FPGA modules connected by a high-speed, low-latency bus. The stated features include 32 inputs, 32 outputs, and a delay of about 150 ns between the detector input signal and the settled output voltage. Andrew Roos, Vice President of Research and Development at QuiX Quantum, stated that a fast FFCU mechanism is necessary for universal photonic quantum computing, as the system must detect a signal, make a decision, and reconfigure the optical path in real-time within a very short period. QuiX Quantum CEO Stefan Hengsbach described the FFCU as a step towards creating a complete system stack that should not only generate and measure photons but also control them in real-time. The company did not disclose the installation location or the customer. In May, scientists from ETH Zurich developed a method for creating mathematically flawless randomness. The technology addresses the vulnerability of digital systems and cryptography.

Leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft AI have signed an open letter calling for mandatory legislative checks on clients and orders from synthetic DNA and RNA suppliers, according to WIRED. The publication reports that the appeal was supported by Sam Altman (OpenAI), Dario Amodei (Anthropic), Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), and Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI). The agreement also includes scientists, national security experts, and representatives from the gene synthesis industry. The initiative's authors proposed that suppliers be required to screen orders for synthetic nucleic acids and maintain records of such transactions. The letter specifically emphasizes the need for client identity verification and equipment control. The appeal notes that the rapid development of AI reduces "knowledge barriers," potentially allowing malicious actors to use neural networks to design dangerous pathogens and toxins, bypassing previous restrictions. Order screening is described as one of the most effective and "least burdensome" ways to mitigate biological threats. WIRED highlighted that some companies, such as Twist Bioscience, voluntarily conduct such checks as part of an industry consortium, yet no unified federal regulations exist in the US. Earlier, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the Senate to require all gene synthesis providers in the country to screen their counterparts for ties to terrorist organizations or attempts to recreate dangerous viruses. In June 2025, one of the largest medical charities, Wellcome Trust, allocated £10 million to launch the world's first project to create parts or even entire DNA from scratch.

On June 4, the price of the leading cryptocurrency fell to $61,351. Amid the negative trend, the market faced a massive wave of long position liquidations. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. At the time of writing, digital gold is trading at $63,581.  Following Bitcoin, altcoins also entered the "red zone": Ethereum tested values below $1800, Solana dropped to $69, and XRP was trading at $1.17. Source: CoinMarketCap. In the past 24 hours, the volume of forcibly closed positions in the market amounted to about $1.63 billion, with the majority being longs — $1.38 billion. Source: CoinGlass. Delta Exchange analyst Riya Segal, in a comment for The Economic Times, linked the sell-off to a combination of factors: ongoing outflows from spot Bitcoin-ETF, geopolitical instability, and the breach of key support levels, which triggered a cascade of liquidations. Experts at CoinDesk noted that the $65,000 zone served as an important technical threshold. Holding below this mark opens the way for testing the $60,000 level. Simultaneously, on the Deribit options exchange, there was a surge in interest in put positions with strikes at $50,000, $55,000, and $65,000, expiring at the end of June.  Additional pressure on the market is exerted by the movement of institutional demand. On June 3, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $396.6 million. The continuous negative trend has persisted since May 15, marking the 13th consecutive session. Source: SoSoValue. Giottus CEO Vikram Subburaj emphasized that the lack of capital inflow into funds deprived the asset of support that contributed to growth earlier in the year. On June 2, Bitcoin fell below $70,000 amid increasing ETF outflows.
