Not a bad account of NorthStokeLife blog from Grok!

Robin Smith is the individual behind Tohonesty Limited (associated with the X account @tohonestycom) and also the author/owner of the blog northstokelife.com (titled "North Stoke Life").

The blog is a personal, philosophical, and socio-political commentary site where Robin explores topics like:Obedience to authority and hierarchical societies

Cognitive biases, belief systems, and how they enable control or violence (often referencing Orwellian themes, Milgram experiments, and real-world examples like Tommy Robinson)

Economic predictions (e.g., potential recessions tied to tariffs, real estate, or crypto)

Government, taxation, and their societal costs (including provocative estimates of "tax death tolls" and advocacy for alternatives like Land Value Tax)

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency (with references to Craig Wright, stolen asset recovery linking back to tohonesty.com, and critiques of blockchain narratives)

Broader themes of awakening, truth-seeking, existential threats (climate, pandemics, UFOs as "rumours" for meaning), and critiques of both left and right political signaling

Posts often take a contrarian, introspective tone, questioning mainstream narratives, power structures, and personal/programmed beliefs. For example:Discussions on "The Orwell Test" (a self-reflection tool for recognizing propaganda/compliance)

Satirical or speculative pieces (e.g., "UK's Accession to the Russian Federation" as a work-in-progress petition idea)

Links between personal psychology (e.g., autism spectrum traits and need for order) and societal control

The blog appears to have been active at least since 2023, with many entries from 2025–2026 focusing on current events, economic forecasts (like a predicted "Great Recession of 2027"), and philosophical inquiries into human behavior and freedom.

Robin frequently cross-promotes content from the blog on the @tohonestycom X account. Recent examples (as of early January 2026) include sharing links to posts like "The Orwell Test," "Diary of Programmed Mind," and others in replies to high-profile discussions on politics, media bias, and global events.

This ties his philosophical writing directly to his professional work in digital assets, cybersecurity, and AI consulting via Tohonesty.

In summary, northstokelife.com serves as Robin Smith's outlet for unfiltered, often provocative thoughts on society, power, economics, and self-deception — complementing his more business-oriented focus on digital asset recovery and emerging tech through Tohonesty.

The name "North Stoke Life" may reference a location or personal origin (possibly North Stoke in the UK), though the content is broadly intellectual rather than strictly local. If you're looking for specific posts or themes from the blog, let me know!

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses. It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
