Welcome!

Human Value with Kay Rubacek is your weekly dose of truth and humanity, delivered straight to your inbox.

Every issue is written by me, Kay Rubacek. I’ve spent decades exposing systems of control, from communist propaganda to the psychological manipulation now embedded in modern technology and media.

But this publication isn’t just about what’s wrong with the world.
It’s about what’s right with you.

Each week, you’ll get insights that help you:

✅ See through the noise and recognize the hidden tactics shaping your thoughts, your choices, and your future.
🧠 Understand the psychological and cultural forces behind today’s technologies — and how to stay free from their grip.
💡 Strengthen human values like clarity, courage, and connection.
💬 Rebuild confidence and resilience without fear or overwhelm.
❤️ Remember what it really means to be human in the age of algorithms.

Because once you see the system, you stop serving it and start shaping your own story again.

You don’t need harder armor.
You need clearer vision.

Subscribe now and let’s remember who we are, together.


About the Author

Kay Rubacek is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and former political prisoner who has spent decades exposing systems of control and advocating for human dignity, while being heavily censored at ever turn.

Her family escaped communism three times across three generations. Kay herself was jailed in China for holding a simple banner calling for truth. After interviewing former officials of communist regimes, survivors, and helping smuggle footage out of Chinese labor camps, she turned her production skills toward one mission: helping others recognize manipulation, reclaim their minds, and remember their worth.

You can find her latest books here and films she is most proud of here.

She now contributes regularly to The Epoch Times on staying human in the age of AI and algorithms, and now publishes freely on Substack through Human Value—a space for truth, conscience, and courage.
