  171. <p>I find myself ruminating about whether there is anything myself or any other average Joe can do to make a difference in this world, controlled by psychopaths, satanists, egomaniacal billionaires, corrupt evil politicians, a cabal of greedy financiers, neocon warmongering globalists, and the propaganda entertainment complex. When a complex entity becomes too large, it becomes inefficient, bureaucratic, corrupt, and uncontrollable.</p>
  172.  
  173.  
  174.  
  175. <p>The corruption, waste, and purposeful use of governmental power to enrich politicians and their billionaire benefactors, to the detriment of the country and the average citizen, has grown to an incomprehensible and uncontainable level. Whether DOGE was a legitimate undertaking by <a href="https://amzn.to/3HwLm1P" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Musk</strong></a> and his tech geniuses to cut wasteful spending and uncover fraud, or nothing more than a PR stunt designed to keep the MAGA army satiated with the appearance of making America great again, it appears to have sunk into the swamps of DC, foiled by the uni-party once again.</p>

  180.  
  181.  
  182.  
  183. <p><br>But the show must go on, and this past week’s episode of “As the Empire Crumbles” was certainly entertaining, with the most powerful politician in the world hurling insults at the richest man in the world, who responded by accusing the president of pedophilia, while calling for his impeachment and the creation of a new political party. The MAGA acolytes were flabbergasted, as their two heroes, who were going to usher in a new golden era, came to blows and have irreconcilably broken up. Who could have predicted that the two biggest egos on the planet would ultimately clash and dissolve their partnership? Many of the twitterati were convinced it was just more 4D chess, just as they believed the Q bullshit during Trump’s first term.</p>

  188.  
  189.  
  190.  
  191. <p><br>The world was captivated and enthralled by this trivial social media war, while NATO/Ukraine desperately attempted to initiate WW3 with their attacks on Russian airbases, the Crimean bridge, and Russian passenger trains. Thousands of tweets and hundreds of articles have been written about this Trump/Musk bickerfest, while the world is imploding and we are accelerating headlong towards a global war, initiated by the three stooges running France, U.K. and Germany, and cheered on by the likes of Lindsey Graham and Mike Pompeo.</p>
  192.  
  193.  
  194.  
  195. <p>Trump’s campaign trail promise to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours has proven to be nothing more than his predictable bloviating bullshit. It has become clear he has absolutely no sway over the EU warmongers, or his own Deep State CIA operatives carrying out the attacks on Russia, as his weak and ineffectual efforts to end the conflict start to diminish his presidency from the outset.</p>

  200.  
  201.  
  202.  
  203. <p><br>The Gaza genocide continues, with American financial and military support, even though Trump promised to end that conflict. Iran continues to resist efforts to stop its nuclear enrichment program. China pretends to be negotiating with Trump on tariffs but is content letting the Soros installed leftist judges across the country place roadblock after roadblock in the way of Trump’s tariff, deportation, and governmental downsizing agenda. Foreign leaders know they can wait out all of Trump’s threats by just slow walking negotiations and hoping the Republicans lose the House in 2026.</p>
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. <p>China is biding its time until they believe America is sufficiently preoccupied with its own domestic turmoil and its Ukraine quagmire, and they will initiate their inevitable Taiwan takeover. The United States has not won a war in 80 years and is in no position to wage war in Europe and Asia simultaneously. Trump professes to be for peace, but the Deep State actors controlling the government and the globalist billionaires pulling the strings will force him into WW3. That is how Fourth Turnings roll.</p>

  215. <p><br>With the intense opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill from <a href="https://amzn.to/3HwLm1P" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Musk</strong></a> and key Republicans in the Senate, the next few months could get messy on the fiscal front. Musk is entirely correct, calling the BBB a massive, outrageous, pork-filled disgusting abomination of congressional pork. When the mind numbingly stupid media outlets declare it will add $3 trillion to the national debt over ten years, that means $3 trillion more than the $21 trillion of additional debt already projected. And this assumes no recessions, no financial crisis, no wars, and no fake pandemics. They purposefully give the impression our national debt only goes up by $3 trillion over ten years.</p>
  216.  
  217.  
  218.  
  219. <p>I’m absolutely certain the average prole, distracted by their technological bread and circuses, has no clue our debt is on automatic pilot to increase by nearly 70% over the next ten years. The average person remains trapped in a false comfort zone, designed by their overlords, to keep them satiated with toxic foodstuff, propaganda disguised as entertainment, and believing going deeper and deeper into debt, buying trinkets and baubles makes them wealthy. Until that comfort zone is shattered by the bitter reality of the next financial implosion, the masses will do nothing to try and alter the disastrous course plotted by their overlords.</p>

  224.  
  225.  
  226.  
  227. <p><br>The GOP passage of $9.4 billion of DOGE cuts is nothing more than a PR stunt to convince the ignorant masses they are actually doing something about the deficit. The dopes making bets on Draft Kings and posting videos on Instagram have no concept about how ridiculously out of control our government has become. They add $6 billion to the national debt every single day, so their $9.4 of “cuts” will be gone in 37 hours. Our deficits are big, but they are not beautiful. Our deficit in FY24 was $1.8 trillion. Through the first 7 months of FY25 the deficit is $1.049 trillion. At the current rate of spending, the deficit will be $2.2 trillion by the end of the fiscal year.</p>
  228.  
  229.  
  230.  
  231. <p>Interest on the national debt is now the second biggest expenditure and has gone from $500 billion during Trump’s first term to $1.3 trillion today. These deficits are clearly unsustainable, and anything which is unsustainable will not be sustained. But the corrupt, captured politicians and insatiably avaricious Wall Street bankers will keep dancing until the music stops. Then they will use their next engineered financial crisis to take more of our money and further restrict our liberties and freedom. CBDCs and social credit scores anyone?</p>

  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. <p><br>The real reason Trump and the GOP need to pass the big beautiful, bloated pig of a bill is because our Ponzi scheme economy depends upon the never-ending issuance of trillions in debt every year to give the fabricated appearance of stability. This is why the GOP applauds Musk’s low hanging fruit DOGE cost savings and ignores them in their outrageously corpulent budget bill. The truth is any actual reduction in government spending (36% of GDP) would ripple through an economy entirely dependent upon government largess and immediately create a massive recession and probable depression.</p>
  240.  
  241.  
  242.  
  243. <p>Ponzi schemes have to keep growing until they run out of suckers believing the bullshit underlying the Ponzi. This is where those controlling the levers of society (<a href="https://amzn.to/4kIBqRp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Bernays’ invisible government</strong></a>) utilize their limitless well of propaganda techniques, technological distractions, and mindless entertainment venues to keep the ignorant masses amused, delusional, and living in denial of the reality staring them in the face.</p>

  249.  
  250.  
  251. <p><br>Since the <a href="https://amzn.to/4dS7m33" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>2008 financial crisis</strong></a> we have been muddling through economically at a 10,000 feet macro level, with periodic crisis episodes (housing collapse, fake pandemic) utilized by the powers that be to issue trillions more debt as the antidote to the initial crisis created by too much debt. At a micro level, the average American has seen a significant decline in their standard of living, as official government reported inflation has eroded 40% of their purchasing power, when in reality they have lost more than 60% of their purchasing power. The reality for the average American prole is debt slavery, either self-imposed to keep up with the Joneses or forced upon them to survive this globalist-imposed death by a thousand cuts economy.</p>
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. <p>Credit card debt of $1.3 trillion is at an all-time high, up $350 billion (35%) since 2020. The average balance on those credit cards is over $7,000 and the average interest rate on those unpaid balances is over 21%. Student loan debt of $1.8 trillion is at an all-time high, up $100 billion since 2020, with over 25% of these loans in default. Auto loan debt of $1.7 trillion is at an all-time high, up $350 billion (27%) since 2020. The average length of these loans is now 70 months. The borrower is underwater by the fifth year of these loans. Shockingly, credit card and auto loan delinquencies have been soaring in the last year, with credit card delinquencies above 3% for the first time since 2012, and auto loan delinquencies surpassed 8% for the first time since 2010. Does that sound like a consumer on solid ground?</p>
  256.  
  257.  
  258.  
  259. <p>In addition, the housing market is a disaster looking for a trigger. The Wall Street hedge funds (<a href="https://amzn.to/446UKlk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Blackrock</strong></a>) bought up millions of homes, driving prices 140% (Case Siller Index) higher than the 2012 low, while outstanding mortgage debt has risen from the 2012 low of $13 trillion to $21 trillion today. Prices are ridiculously high and mortgage rates of 7% make it virtually impossible for an average working stiff to buy even a small home. The market is frozen.</p>
  260.  
  261.  
  262.  
  263. <p>This is why Trump and his GOP minions must avoid a recession at all costs by continuing to rack up $2 trillion annual deficits. A recession would result in millions of layoffs, which would mean unpaid mortgages, which would mean foreclosures and slashing of home prices, which would trigger housing collapse 2.0, which would turn the recession into a depression, causing a stock market collapse. Now you know why they are desperate to pass this big, beautiful behemoth of bilge.</p>

  270.  
  271. <p><br>The Fed is in a precarious position of their own making, with all choices pointing towards disastrous outcomes. They are already sitting on over $1 trillion of unrealized bond losses, while their Wall Street owners sit on another $400 billion of unrealized bond losses. If these entities ever have to realize those losses, our entire banking system would collapse. The Fed has cut rates by 1%, but market rates went up, as their power to mislead market players diminishes.</p>
  272.  
  273.  
  274.  
  275. <p>They have reduced their balance sheet from $9 trillion to $6.7 trillion. The last time they tried to reduce their balance sheet in 2019, the repo market spasmed and they used the <a href="https://amzn.to/45bkle1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Covid cover</strong></a> to drastically print more fiat. Trump is mocking Powell and demanding interest rate cuts. Powell is pretending to be independent, but he is praying for some kind of crisis to again set the printing presses to hyper-speed. I’m sure the ruling oligarchs are hatching a new crisis to expand their wealth, power, and control, while further impoverishing and enslaving the plebs.</p>

  283. <p><br>It is clear at least to me, we stand on the precipice of an economic conflagration capable of putting the final nail in the coffin of this empire of debt. At the same time there are unrelenting evil forces who are frantically creating the casus-belli to initiate World War III and the massive death and destruction that would produce. The simultaneous commencement of these two events would produce the type of climax expected in the waning years of a <a href="https://amzn.to/4kyVJAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Fourth Turning</strong></a>, with a final resolution expected by 2032.</p>

  303. <p>If you ever needed proof politics is nothing but show business, it is this big, beautiful bill episode of drama, fiction, comedy, and tragedy. Excellence, clarity, and honesty have no part in this absurd psychodrama of lies, accusations, and continued downward spiral of this empire of debt. We know <a href="https://amzn.to/3SLI64W" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Huxley</strong></a> believed the masses could be sufficiently distracted by their own ego driven pursuits, but I don’t think even he realized how much power the technological “advances” of our times (TV based mass media, the internet, corporate/government controlled social media, Big Pharma) would be used by the ruling elite to control, manipulate, sedate, and scare the ignorant masses into voluntary subservience. Everything we are witnessing and living through is nothing more than a theater production, designed by Bernays’ invisible governing authorities to herd us towards their technological gulag, with the slaughterhouse as the other alternative.</p>

  311. <p><br><a href="https://amzn.to/3SLI64W" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Huxley’s 1932 dystopian vision</strong></a>, which he believed was more likely than <a href="https://amzn.to/43Amfnf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Orwell’s 1949 dystopian vision</strong></a> of the future, and reinforced in a letter to Orwell in 1949 shortly before his death, has been the pre-dominant method used by our overlords to rule over, manipulate, and exploit the foibles of the unthinking masses. They have kept their citizens distracted with pleasures, drugged into passivity, taught to feel rather than think in government run indoctrination centers (public schools) and overloaded with so much useless trivial information, they are incapable of distinguishing between good and evil – actually believing their servitude is freedom.</p>
  312.  
  313.  
  314.  
  315. <p>While Huxley’s dystopia continues, the ruling class fears their passive mind control methods aren’t as effective in achieving their great reset agenda, and in need of some Orwellian censorship, disinformation, brute force, government intimidation, harsh mind control, and guaranteeing compliance through fear. Aren’t we lucky to be experiencing the best of both dystopian visions. Those controlling the levers of society have used the school system to create a soulless amalgamation of hedonistic mass consumers; purposeless, apathetic, with muddled brains unable to understand their unintended enslavement to the evil demons running our world and controlling their lives.</p>
  316.  
  317.  
  318.  
  319. <p>Knowing most of what we see on our screens and hear from supposed “experts”, left wing corporate media talking heads, and Fox News bimbos, is gibberish and propaganda, it is hard to distinguish real threats from clickbait, purposeful disinformation, and scare tactics designed to make you do what they want you to do. The precarious financial situation of the country is real. The danger from an AI cage built through a tech-state merger with <a href="https://amzn.to/43zonM4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Palantir</strong></a> to surveil and digitally profile everyone is real.</p>
  320.  
  321.  
  322.  
  323. <p>The threat of the Ukraine-Russia conflict morphing into WW3 is real. The desire by billionaire globalists to introduce a <a href="https://amzn.to/4jLi90d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Great Reset</strong></a>, <a href="https://thegreattaking.com/"><strong>Great Taking</strong></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4kTgG97" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>CBDCs</strong></a> is real. The planned, funded, and executed invasion of our southern border during the Basement Dummy administration by third world dregs, with the sole intention of destroying the social fabric and finances of the country, run by the Soros/Clinton/Obama triumvirate is real.</p>

  331. <p><br>Even with the dismantling of their USAID insurrection funding source, this week’s festivities in Los Angeles kicked off the summer of civil war. There is nothing real or spontaneous about these riots. Whenever pallets of bricks suddenly show up on streets in city centers, you know <a href="https://amzn.to/4kBWdGn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Soros</strong></a> and his ilk are behind the organized destruction of that particular city. The brick and bomb throwers are being paid to riot and take photo ops. This will assuredly be rolled out in our other Democrat controlled urban shitholes across the land. The governor of California and the communist mayor of Los Angeles are paid acolytes of <a href="https://amzn.to/4kBWdGn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Soros</strong></a>, stoking insurrection and should be arrested and thrown into the dungeons of DC, like the grandmothers and patriots who sauntered through the Capitol on January 6.</p>

  345. <p><br>We find ourselves on the precipice of a financial, social, and military calamity, all driven by the three driving forces of this <a href="https://amzn.to/4kyVJAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Fourth Turning</strong></a>: debt, civic decay, global disorder. Anyone not noticing events are intensifying, conflict is expanding, anger is building, and the world is accelerating towards that precipice at breakneck speed, is simply ignorant or their minds are so numbed by their i-gadgets and government school indoctrination, that it’s beyond their comprehension to acknowledge reality.</p>
  346.  
  347.  
  348.  
  349. <p>At this point in history, I do not believe there are enough awakened critical thinking citizens to make a difference during the waning years of this <a href="https://amzn.to/4kyVJAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Fourth Turning</strong></a>. We can’t vote our way out. We likely can’t shoot our way out. We can’t buy our way out.

  353. <p><em>“What is happening here is that television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this world almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or KGB. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information–misplace, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information – information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed. Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?” </em><strong>― </strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4kWZWhg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Neil Postman – Amusing Ourselves to Death</strong></a></p>

  365. <p>The existing financial, social and political paradigms will have to collapse and be swept away for any real change to occur. The problem is it appears that is exactly what the billionaire globalist elite are trying to trigger. In the aftermath, amidst chaos, financial ruin, civil and global war, social strife, and a political vacuum, they envision establishing an authoritarian global world order, with CBDCs, social credit scores, 15-minute cities, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4kRK6Ve" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Big Brother</strong></a> level surveillance. If this vision prevails, <a href="https://amzn.to/4kRK6Ve" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Orwell</strong></a> wins the award over Huxley for the most accurate dystopian nightmare.</p>

This could offer an opportunity for normal rational people to make their stand. If a liberty movement, backed by the 300 million firearms residing in the red states, could re-ignite the brush fires of freedom in the minds of men, maybe we could reset the course of our country. The odds probably aren’t worse than they were in <a href="https://amzn.to/3FOtDSP" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>1776</strong></a>. At this point, all we can do is prepare mentally, physically, and spiritually for the coming storm. Buy supplies, guns and ammo. And remember what your forefathers accomplished with far less.

  419.  
  420.  
  421.  
  422. <p>A preventive medicine physician, Brenner has worked at the FDA since 2019. As the FDA’s Principal Deputy Commissioner—and briefly its Acting Commissioner—Brenner was at the centre of decision-making.</p>

  428.  
  429.  
  430. <p><br>Prior to that, she was Chief Medical Officer for diagnostics and was detailed to the White House to support the Biden administration’s Covid-19 response. She didn’t just participate in the pandemic response, she helped shape it from within.</p>
  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. <p>“Knowing what I knew—not only about nanotechnology, about medicine, about the medical countermeasures—but also having a very strong and firm grounding in bioethics…there were many things that were not right,” she told the audience.</p>
  435.  
  436.  
  437.  
  438. <p>That someone with her seniority and access to internal data privately rejected the vaccine, while her agency <a href="https://blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/fda-chief-spruiks-misinformation?utm_source=publication-search" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">promoted</a> it to millions of pregnant women, presents a profound ethical dilemma.</p>
  439.  
  440.  
  441.  
  442. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-brenner-s-concerns-about-mrna-safety-nbsp">Brenner’s Concerns about mRNA Safety&nbsp;</h4>
  443.  
  444.  
  445.  
  446. <p>Brenner explained that her decision was driven by a lack of safety data, particularly around the biodistribution of the vaccine’s lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)—the tiny fat particles used to deliver the mRNA into cells.&nbsp;</p>
  447.  
  448.  
  449.  
  450. <p>“It was unknown at the time what the biodistribution patterns of those products were…That was my primary concern, and that exposure I was very concerned about,” said Brenner.&nbsp;</p>
  451.  
  452.  
  453.  
  454. <p>She had reason to be cautious.&nbsp;</p>
  455.  
  456.  
  457.  
  458. <p>As a nanomedicine expert who built an MD/PhD program in the field, Brenner had spent years researching the “biodistribution, excretion, metabolism and toxicities associated with engineered nanoparticles.”&nbsp;</p>
  459.  
  460.  
  461.  
  462. <p>“Materials that don’t exist in nature—there’s a lot of unknowns,” said Brenner.&nbsp;</p>
  463.  
  464.  
  465.  
  466. <p>She warned that unintended toxic effects—especially in vulnerable populations like pregnant women—could not be ignored.&nbsp;</p>
  467.  
  468.  
  469.  
  470. <p>“Regardless of the medical product or the intervention, there’s always going to be the need to evaluate both the intended outcomes…and the unintended consequences,” she cautioned.</p>
  471.  
  472.  
  473.  
  474. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-warnings-ignored">Warnings Ignored</h4>
  475.  
  476.  
  477.  
  478. <p>Brenner’s concerns echoed those raised in 2021 by Canadian immunologist Dr Byram Bridle, who first exposed <a href="https://www.docdroid.net/xq0Z8B0/pfizer-report-japanese-government-pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">internal documents</a> from Japan’s regulatory agency showing that LNPs didn’t remain at the injection site, but travelled throughout the body and accumulated in organs including the ovaries, liver, spleen, and bone marrow.</p>
  479.  
  480.  
  481.  
  482. <p>At the time, Bridle’s warnings were aggressively dismissed. His <a href="http://media.zuza.com/1/7/17218284-742f-4768-8521-2a9a08434cb6/691880STC.pdf?utm_source=guelphtoday.com&amp;utm_campaign=guelphtoday.com%3A%20outbound&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reputation</a> took a hit, and he faced institutional censure from the University of Guelph, where he was a professor, for speaking out against vaccine mandates.<a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F387a8f7f-0531-4c96-92d3-d489dd4de764_574x581.jpeg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></p>

  487.  
  488.  
  489.  
  490. <p><br>Now, Brenner’s comments confirm that these concerns were not only valid—they were quietly shared at the highest levels of the FDA.</p>
  491.  
  492.  
  493.  
  494. <p>During the event, Brenner also revealed that her worries extended to breastfeeding and potential exposure to her child after birth.</p>
  495.  
  496.  
  497.  
  498. <p>A 2022 study <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2796427" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">published</a> in <em>JAMA Pediatrics</em> detected vaccine-derived mRNA in the breast milk of vaccinated mothers for at least 48 hours—the very scenario Brenner had feared. </p>
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. <p>Yet the FDA made little effort to publicly investigate or address the findings, dismissing them with the vague reassurance that there was “no evidence of harm.”</p>
  503.  
  504.  
  505.  
  506. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-no-mandate-for-brenner">No Mandate for Brenner?</h4>
  507.  
  508.  
  509.  
  510. <p>It’s unclear how Brenner managed to avoid the vaccine mandate that applied to all federal employees at the time. She didn’t say. Perhaps she received a religious or medical exemption—but she left that part out.</p>
  511.  
  512.  
  513.  
  514. <p>What she did reveal was that she had concerns—deep enough not to take the vaccine during her pregnancy. Yet she said nothing publicly, while her agency told millions of other women it was safe.&nbsp;</p>
  515.  
  516.  
  517.  
  518. <p>For many, that silence is hard to accept, and it has left many asking why she didn’t warn other women about a product with ‘zero’ clinical safety data in pregnancy.</p>
  519.  
  520.  
  521.  
  522. <p>No one but Brenner knows the full story. But the ethical contradiction is hard to ignore.</p>
  523.  
  524.  
  525.  
  526. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-silence-inside-the-castle">Silence Inside the Castle</h4>
  527.  
  528.  
  529.  
  530. <p>Brenner acknowledged the immense pressure inside the FDA to stick to the official narrative.&nbsp;</p>
  531.  
  532.  
  533.  
  534. <p>“They don’t let you get very far out of the castle at FDA with your talking points,” she admitted nervously.</p>
  535.  
  536.  
  537.  
  538. <p>She described the period as a “dark night of the soul” for many civil servants, a time when even “very obvious things” took bravery to say.&nbsp;</p>
  539.  
  540.  
  541.  
  542. <p>She eventually found support through a group called <a href="https://www.fedsforfreedom.org/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Feds for Medical Freedom</a>—federal workers advocating for informed consent, bodily autonomy, and pushing back against government overreach.</p>
  543.  
  544.  
  545.  
  546. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-culture-change">A Culture Change?</h4>
  547.  
  548.  
  549.  
  550. <p>Today, under a new administration, Brenner says the culture inside the FDA is shifting. She praised Commissioner Dr Marty Makary and said transparency is finally becoming a priority.</p>
  551.  
  552.  
  553.  
  554. <p>“We’re moving very quickly to make it such that there will be more transparency…so that people can see and evaluate for themselves what the truths are.”</p>
  555.  
  556.  
  557.  
  558. <p>But Brenner’s remarks won’t undo what has already happened—especially to those who were vaccine-injured or whose pregnancies were affected.</p>
  559.  
  560.  
  561.  
  562. <p>What her comments do offer is a rare glimpse into the internal dynamics of a government institution that issued sweeping public assurances while failing to acknowledge its own uncertainty.</p>
  563.  
  564.  
  565.  
  566. <p>“There was no acknowledgement of what was unknown. There were only statements and assertions that were really more like beliefs,” Brenner said of the FDA’s messaging during the pandemic.</p>
  567.  
  568.  
  569.  
  570. <p>That may be her most important admission.</p>
  571.  
  572.  
  573.  
  574. <p>This is more than a story about one woman’s personal decision. It is a story about institutional culture, regulatory failure, and the consequences of silence.</p>
  575.  
  576.  
  577.  
  578. <p>Those who spoke up were punished. Those who stayed silent kept their jobs and reputations. And those who were forced to comply were often left to deal with the collateral damage.</p>
  579.  
  580.  
  581.  
  582. <p>When asked whether she believed she had made the right decision in refusing the Covid-19 vaccine, Brenner replied simply, “I believe so.”</p>
  583.  
  584.  
  585.  
  586. <p>Now that she has spoken, the question remains—who else knew, and said nothing?</p>

  614.  
  615. <p>Everyone probably remembers during Donald Trump’s first presidency when Kelly Osbourne completely jammed her foot in her mouth during a segment on&nbsp;<em>The View</em>&nbsp;when she got a little carried away talking like a tough guy, delivering what she no doubt thought was a zinger: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”</p>
  616.  
  617.  
  618.  
  619. <p>It was such a monumental jack** moment, even the other&nbsp;<em>View</em>&nbsp;women gasped and cringed, and Osbourne quickly backpeddled.</p>
  620.  
  621.  
  622.  
  623. <p>That was only the beginning. Since then, Democrat after Democrat has warned what enforcing immigration law means (but only when Republicans do it), and that is the disappearance of slave labor. (I swear, if in 50 years the Democrats demand reparations for the illegals who were underpaid and treated like property, the very policies they support&nbsp;<em>now</em>, I’m gonna lose it.)</p>
  624.  
  625.  
  626.  
  627. <p>As we’re all acutely aware, Los Angeles is indistinguishable from a third world riot scene. If you didn’t know better, you’d think you were in Mogadishu in July 1989, or Tripoli in 2011—but nope, it’s just a Golden State city after decades of Democrat control.</p>
  628.  
  629.  
  630.  
  631. <p>And, offering her two cents about the events, mayor Karen Bass says that if the ICE raids persist, there will be “nobody” left to nanny LA’s children or mow the lawns.</p>
  632.  
  633.  
  634.  
  635. <p>Her comments are below, from a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/la-mayor-bass-worries-ice-raids-leave-nobody-do-childcare" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> at Fox News:</p>
  636.  
  637.  
  638.  
  639. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  640. <p>‘My biggest fear is the impact that all Angelenos will begin to feel when the labor of immigrants is absent,’ Bass said. ‘We’ll feel it in the construction industry. We’ll feel it in hospitality. We’ll feel it at grocery stores. People will begin to notice.’</p>
  641.  
  642.  
  643.  
  644. <p>She continued, ‘You think about the mothers who have nannies and housekeepers. They will feel it when there&#8217;s nobody to do childcare and there’s nobody to take their kids to school. You know, you will feel it when your gardener goes away, and you don’t know where he or she is. So Angelenos will feel the absence of immigrant labor.’</p>
  645. </blockquote>
  646.  
  647.  
  648.  
  649. <p>There will be “nobody” left to undercut American wages and steal American jobs? Sounds like a win-win to me. Oh the horror that a parent would have to care for their&nbsp;<em>own</em>&nbsp;child, or tend the garden without the help!</p>
  650.  
  651.  
  652.  
  653. <p>But she is right, rooting out illegals would be felt in the job market—because they’re taking a&nbsp;<em>ton</em>&nbsp;of our jobs. One study presented a very,&nbsp;<em>very</em>&nbsp;conservative estimate, that 11% of the workforce in LA is made up of illegal workers. The Las Vegas Sun&nbsp;<a href="https://lasvegassun.com/news/2025/jun/11/many-california-industries-dependent-on-immigrant/#:~:text=This%20concentration%20is%20even%20more,all%20skill%20levels%5B3%5D.">reports</a>&nbsp;that immigrant labor makes up a whopping 55% of the job market in California—how many of those are illegals?—and then there’s this, from a search engine AI:</p>
  654.  
  655.  
  656.  
  657. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  658. <p>In California, around 40% of the construction workforce is composed of immigrants, with about half of them potentially lacking documentation. An estimated 45% of agricultural workers are undocumented.</p>
  659. </blockquote>
  660.  
  661.  
  662.  
  663. <p>However… you know who we wouldn’t miss if they didn’t show up for “work”? Government parasites, like Bass. Can we loose ICE on California’s elected officials, so they too stop showing their faces in public?</p>

  703. <p><br>In the coming days or weeks, Iran, with its own oil industry very likely to be wrecked and its oil exports shut down by that point, may close the Strait of Hormuz. 20% of global oil shipping will stop when the strait is closed. The global economy will crash as the price of crude oil soars. Industry in China, Japan and South Korea will grind to a halt.</p>

Does anybody remember the USS Stark? In 1987 during the “tanker war” in the Persian Gulf, one “accidentally fired” Iraqi Exocet missile almost sent her to the bottom, and 37 of her crew were killed.</p>

  743. <p>So if U.S. airpower alone can’t stop the Iranians from firing anti-ship missiles, is it realistic to send in ground forces to do it “the hard way?” Ponder this map I created, which compares the invasion of Okinawa to a potential CCP invasion of Taiwan, then extrapolate the forces required for a successful ground invasion of Iran meant to eliminate all the mobile missile launchers concealed within range of the strait. It’s absurd to even consider it.</p>

  755. <p>Well, it&#8217;s not as if great powers have not used this strategy before. The Lusitania was sent directly through &#8220;U-Boat Alley&#8221; below Ireland to generate enough anti-German outrage to bring the USA into WW1. This was even after the Germans had placed notices in American newspapers warning potential passengers heading across the Atlantic that a state of war existed between Germany and Great Britain, and that all ships heading to Britain were “fair game.”</p>

  775. <p>The crew, under heavy and sustained Israeli fire, managed to jury-rig a radio antenna, and were finally able to alert the US Navy (100s of miles west) about the ongoing attack. Only then were the ongoing attacks by sea and air called off, and the Liberty was saved. Of her crew, 34 were killed, and 171 were wounded. The entire incident was swept under the rug by President Lyndon Johnson, under heavy pressure from the Israel lobby.</p>

  787. <p>Somewhere on the false flag spectrum lies the &#8220;green flag operation.&#8221; This is when political shot-callers know that an enemy attack is coming, and they let it play out. They believe the outrage over the attack will result in enough anger being generated among their citizens to support going to war. I&#8217;d count Pearl Harbor and October 7 as likely &#8220;green flag operations.&#8221; And maybe 9-11 as well.</p>

For months, CIA patrol boats had been dropping off saboteurs in rubber boats to conduct land demolition raids along the coast of North Vietnam. This was intended to draw North Vietnamese patrol boats out, in order to create a confrontation with the USN destroyers lurking just out in international waters.</p>

  875. <p>And so the global-capitalist empire’s destabilization and restructuring of the Middle East continues.</p>
  876.  
  877.  
  878.  
  879. <p>Yes, I’m referring to Israel’s “preemptive attack” on the Islamic Republic of Iran, or “World War III,” or whatever the establishment media and social media influencers are trying to get you to call it at the moment.</p>
  880.  
  881.  
  882.  
  883. <p>You’ll forgive me if I don’t engage with either the official “Israel is defending itself from the nuclear weapon that Iran has been days away from developing for the last twenty-five years” narrative, or the unofficial “the evil Zionists who control the US government are trying to draw Trump into a war for Israel” narrative.</p>
  884.  
  885.  
  886.  
  887. <p>The global-capitalist empire, not “America” or “Israel,” has been destabilizing and restructuring the Greater Middle East since the end of the Cold War. It is going to continue to do that until every nation in the region is playing ball with the empire.</p>
  888.  
  889.  
  890.  
  891. <p>“America” is not the empire. “The Zionists” do not control the world. The USA and Israel are components of the global-capitalist empire. Israel is the empire’s Middle East HQ. The US military-industrial complex and its international partners are the empire’s muscle. The empire is conducting a global clear-and-hold op, neutralizing internal resistance, “restructuring” the territory it conquered and now occupies.</p>
  892.  
  893.  
  894.  
  895. <p>That is what is happening in the Middle East. In Gaza. In Iran. In Israel. Look at a map. Note which countries are playing ball with the global-capitalist empire. Note which ones are not playing ball. Note which ones have already been “restructured.”</p>

  900.  
  901.  
  902.  
  903. <p><br>Or don’t do that. Switch off your mind and consume whatever cartoonish narratives the corporate media and influencers are peddling to you. The evil Iranians and their nuclear weapons! The evil Zionists that control the world! Netanyahu duped Trump! Trump tricked MAGA! The Rothschilds! The Deep State! The Jewish Supremacists! The Return of the Neocons! World War III!</p>
  904.  
  905.  
  906.  
  907. <p>The global-capitalist empire would prefer that you do that. And it doesn’t matter to the empire which narrative you consume. The empire doesn’t care whether you’re a liberal or conservative. It could not possibly care less who you voted for. It does not care whether you’re a multi-gendered pronoun-using anti-Trump progressive or an Elon-loving MAGA conservative. It does not care whether you’re a Waymo-burning Mexican flag-flying illegal immigrant or a race-baiting crypto-fascist creep. It doesn’t care whether you’re a Zionist or an anti-Zionist. It does not give a shit what you think about vaccines.</p>
  908.  
  909.  
  910.  
  911. <p>Whoever you are, whatever “side” you are on, the empire has a readymade narrative for you. A narrative that has nothing to do with the global-capitalist empire and its global clear-and-hold op.</p>
  912.  
  913.  
  914.  
  915. <p>And that’s one big advantage the global-capitalist empire has over earlier totalitarian systems. Unlike the Communists and the National Socialists, global capitalism has no ideology, so it can morph into anything it needs to morph into, including any potential opposition to it.</p>
  916.  
  917.  
  918.  
  919. <p>Which is what it has been doing for the last few years, more or less since the end of the Covid era. Just as the Obama “Hope-and-Change” show captured and neutered the growing opposition to the War on Terror (i.e., the original version of the global-capitalist empire’s destabilization and restructuring of the Middle East), the “Make America Great Again” show (with assistance from the Musk Cult) has captured and neutralized the “populist” opposition to the New Normal Reich (i.e., the new global-capitalist form of totalitarianism that was rolled out during the “Covid pandemic”).</p>
  920.  
  921.  
  922.  
  923. <p>I explored this in the introductory essay of <em><a href="https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510783928/fear-and-loathing-in-the-new-normal-reich/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fear and Loathing in the New Normal Reich</a></em>, my latest book. Here’s an excerpt …</p>
  924.  
  925.  
  926.  
  927. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  928. <p>“This is also a key feature of the New Normal Reich, the capture, conditioning, and commodification of opposition forces that cannot be eliminated. (Remember, this is global-capitalist totalitarianism, not the ham-fisted 20th-Century version.) Any internal resistance to the empire that cannot be annihilated, or otherwise silenced, can be commodified, branded, and marketed back to its members as a simulacrum of itself. Ultimately, it can be instrumentalized, like ‘the Brotherhood’ in Orwell’s&nbsp;<em>1984</em>. It can be molded into a ‘resistance movement,’ which simultaneously exists and does not exist, because it only exists as a simulacrum (i.e., a copy of a thing that no longer exists, which conceals the fact that it no longer exists), and deployed to lure political opposition into an endless war against other simulacra, a war that is itself a simulacrum (i.e., a copy of a war which is not being fought, and was never fought, and will never be fought, because it was already over before it began).</p>
  929.  
  930.  
  931.  
  932. <p>‘Free-speech X’ is a prime example. The ease with which Elon Musk and a consortium of serious global-capitalist behemoths, Saudi royalty, and assorted other oligarchs purchased the platform formerly known as Twitter, rebranded it as ‘The Bastion of Free Speech’ (despite the fact that X continues to collaborate with the empire to censor dissent), corralled the majority of the ‘populist’ opposition to the emergence of the New Normal Reich, and transformed it into a global personality cult, is a testament to the versatility of capitalism, and to the advantage of having no official ideology.&nbsp;<strong>When you don’t have to conform to any specific ideology, you can wear whatever mask you need to wear. You can play whichever role is called for. It’s all just marketing, advertising, branding. It’s about selling images. The images don’t&nbsp;</strong><em><strong>mean</strong></em><strong>&nbsp;anything. They’re just Pavlovian stimuli designed to trigger a reaction in the target consumer.</strong></p>
  933.  
  934.  
  935.  
  936. <p>The transformation of Twitter/X into the Musk Cult and its merger with (or takeover of) the MAGA movement has been fascinating, if extremely depressing, to watch. At the moment, it appears to be on the verge of morphing into exactly the official enemy that the empire has been desperately simulating for years.”</p>

  941. <p>I wrote that in December 2024, just after the election that ushered in a “new golden age of America,” or whatever. And now … well, here we are. The destabilization and restructuring of the Middle East is proceeding apace. Israel and Iran are officially at war. The Gaza Strip has been reduced to rubble. The Assad regime is gone, replaced with a gang of global-capitalism-ball-playing Al-Qaeda thugs. The Trump regime is renditioning people with suspicious tattoos to Salvadoran gulags, arresting students for writing editorials, unleashing masked goons to round up “illegals,” and generally “making America great again.” X is now a cesspool of algorithmically-boosted racial hatred, mindless rage, Musk and MAGA propaganda, widget ads, and miscellaneous idiocy. Palantir is assembling a master database of Americans’ personal data. People are shrieking for “mass deportation.” Stephen Miller is channeling Joseph Goebbels. Elon Musk is accusing Trump of degenerate acts on Epstein Island. No one is being prosecuted for lying to everyone about “Covid,” but Bobby Kennedy fired a bunch of bureaucrats, and Trump’s military birthday parade … and so on.</p>
  942.  
  943.  
  944.  
  945. <p>Basically, the global-capitalist empire has morphed into the opposition to itself, or a simulacrum of the opposition to itself, and is now simultaneously instrumentalizing and disassembling the opposition to itself (as it markets itself and the opposition to itself to itself and the opposition to itself).</p>
  946.  
  947.  
  948.  
  949. <p>The global capitalist empire is able to do this because it has no ideology or values to uphold. It doesn’t need to make sense or be consistent. It can wear whatever mask it needs to wear because there is no face behind the mask. There is nothing, no values, no ideology, no beliefs, no principles, nothing to defend or betray, nothing to stop it from becoming anything … and then becoming the exact opposite a moment later.</p>
  950.  
  951.  
  952.  
  953. <p>Sorry, I went all philosophical there, and probably bored a lot of my readers to death. Forget about the global-capitalist empire, and the nothing behind the masks, and all that. I’m pretty sure I’m overthinking this stuff, and it’s really just that the Jews own everything, or that the Muslims hate us for our freedom, or that we’re being replaced by illegal Mexicans, or Trump is Hitler, or Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, or, I don’t know … I’m sure there’s a corporate-media pundit or a dissident podcaster who can explain what’s really happening and tell us who we’re supposed to root for.</p>

  1004. <p><br>Strategy added another 10,100 Bitcoin to its treasury between June 9 and June 15, 2025, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.strategy.com/press/strategy-acquires-10100-btc-and-now-holds-592100-btc_06-16-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Form 8-K</a>&nbsp;filed Monday with the SEC. The company spent approximately $1.05 billion on the latest allocation, paying an average price of $104,080 per Bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.&nbsp;</p>
  1005.  
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008. <p>This brings Strategy’s total holdings to 592,100 BTC, acquired at a cumulative cost of $41.84 billion, or an average price of $70,666 per Bitcoin, solidifying its status as the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.</p>
  1009.  
  1010.  
  1011.  
  1012. <p>The recent allocation was financed through multiple capital raises. Strategy tapped its STRK and STRF at-the-market offerings, and completed a $979.7 million public offering of STRD, its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock, on June 10.</p>
  1013.

  1033.  
  1034.  
  1035.  
  1036. <p>The company continues to emphasize transparency around its holdings. Its website,<a href="http://www.strategy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;strategy.com</a>, hosts a Bitcoin Dashboard that is regularly updated with BTC purchase details, securities activity, and performance metrics in compliance with Regulation FD.</p>
  1037.  
  1038.  
  1039.  
  1040. <p>Strategy’s move comes during increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin in 2025. The company’s acquisition strategy and consistent messaging have made it a leader for corporate engagement with the digital asset.&nbsp;</p>

  1067.  
  1068.  
  1069. <p>Iremember watching a YouTube interview with a highly intelligent and observant entrepreneur, who cheerfully predicted that the time would come when AI programmes would replace teachers, rendering their jobs obsolete. The commentator in question was an enthusiastic advocate of personal and economic freedom and a vocal critic of the excessive incursions of State agencies in our personal lives. Yet for some reason, he seemed relatively unconcerned at the prospect of machines teaching our children.</p>
  1070.  
  1071.  
  1072.  
  1073. <p>Of course, there are tasks that most would happily relegate to AI programmes to the benefit of humanity, such as certain forms of tedious clerical work, a large chunk of manual labour, and the synthesis of unwieldy amounts of data. However, there are other tasks that cannot be delegated to a machine without endangering invaluable dimensions of our lives as human beings.</p>
  1074.  
  1075.  
  1076.  
  1077. <p>One of those tasks is teaching and learning, through which people learn to think, interpret the world, make rational arguments, assess evidence, make rational and holistic choices, and reflect on the meaning of their lives. For better or for worse, teachers, from kindergarten right up to university level, form the minds of the next generation. The formation of the mind relies on apprenticeship, imitation of a worthy model, and intellectual practice and training.&nbsp;</p>
  1078.  
  1079.  
  1080.  
  1081. <p>Much as an athlete fine-tunes his motor skills and muscle memory playing sport, and finds inspiration in an exemplary athlete, the student fine-tunes his mental skills thinking, reflecting, studying, analysing, and generating ideas and arguments, in dialogue with an inspiring teacher. There is both an interpersonal and “hands-on” dimension to human learning, both of which are indispensable.&nbsp;</p>
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084.  
  1085. <p>Yet Artificial Intelligence is reaching the point where it has the capacity to automate and mechanise certain aspects of teaching and learning, marginalising crucial aspects of the learning process, most notably the way a teacher can model intellectual activity for the student, and the intellectual tasks a teacher assigns to students in order to fine-tune their mental skills and imagination. Many tasks which, just a few years ago, had to be undertaken “manually,” by which I mean, through the laborious activity, imagination, and effort of a human being, can now be performed&nbsp;<em>automatically</em>&nbsp;by AI.</p>
  1086.  
  1087.  
  1088.  
  1089. <p>When I wrote papers for my university degrees, I had to wade through texts, synthesise their content, and build an argument from scratch, using my own mind. Now, AI technology is tantalisingly close to being able to create a research paper from scratch, with a few prompts and sources provided by the user.&nbsp;</p>
  1090.  
  1091.  
  1092.  
  1093. <p>The end product, for example, a paper or reflection churned out by AI, may look very similar, or even largely&nbsp;<em>identical</em>, to the product of a non-AI-led writing process. But this “product” is generated largely by providing AI with the right prompts, not by working the creative and analytic muscles of the mind, or doing the mental “heavy-lifting” that is required in order to drill into a problem or take one’s intelligence or imagination to the next level.</p>
  1094.  
  1095.  
  1096.  
  1097. <p>This makes traditional teaching tools, such as the graded take-home paper, largely obsolete, because realistically, in a competitive environment, many students will not deprive themselves of the advantages of AI in the creation of graded work.&nbsp;</p>
  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101. <p>Even if a teacher encouraged or required students to write a paper without the assistance of AI, there is no reliable way to police such a requirement outside of the classroom, and it seems unfair for conscientious students to be outperformed by students of a more “pragmatic” bent who “milk” AI for all it’s worth.</p>
  1102.  
  1103.  
  1104.  
  1105. <p>This means that the whole teaching and learning process, including the evaluation of student work, will have to be re-conceived for a cohort of students increasingly comfortable using AI technologies. If teachers truly believe in the importance of a learning process that stretches and trains the intellectual abilities of the student and is not usurped at every turn by AI “shortcuts,” then they – we – will have to find new approaches to student assignments and evaluation.&nbsp;</p>
  1106.  
  1107.  
  1108.  
  1109. <p>These might include a greater emphasis on oral assessment, a shift to longer supervised technology-free exams, or un-graded writing assignments in which students might be more willing to forego the competitive advantage of AI if persuaded of the value of rising to an intellectual challenge.</p>
  1110.  
  1111.  
  1112.  
  1113. <p>There is a lot of concern expressed, understandably, about the prospects of mass unemployment as many tasks currently assigned to human beings get relegated to AI programmes. But we should not forget that one of the greatest risks of AI technology may be a degradation of the learning process itself, and thus a new intellectual dark age. It is up to teachers and teaching institutions to do all they can to avert such a catastrophic outcome.&nbsp;</p>

  1197. <p>More so now than ever, we’re living in a world of extreme ideas, behaviors, with outcomes that have never happened before. We need to be extra-vigilant, pay attention to those outcomes.&nbsp;</p>
  1198.  
  1199.  
  1200.  
  1201. <p>Consider this in relation to A.I. Consider the unrelenting quest for total <a href="https://www.inewparadigm.com/7-precautions-you-must-take-to-protect-yourself-from-the-great-reset/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">global domination</a> from those in high places, trying to push A.I on us with its deceptive hidden ulterior motives, using the support of techno-obsessive frontmen… </p>
  1202.  
  1203.  
  1204.  
  1205. <p>Consider the cunning sales pitches thrown at us to buy into the A.I deception: Telling us that biological redesign, integrated with non-living aspects, will give rise to more <em>“effective,”</em> <em>“smarter”</em> and <em>“efficient”</em> life forms (humans included). All done under the guise of <em>“saving the planet” as </em>heavily<em> </em>voiced <em>by</em> false messiah <a href="https://www.inewparadigm.com/caveat-emptor-the-alarming-health-dangers-of-consuming-fake-meat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>“philanthropists…”</em></a> </p>
  1206.  
  1207.  
  1208.  
  1209. <p>Then there’s the deliberate current manufactured generational conflict for the control and derailment of our mind-spirit-bodies; to make us unwittingly go along with their <a href="https://www.inewparadigm.com/7-serious-concerns-transhumanism-threatens-humanity-and-the-human-race/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A.I plans.</a> </p>
  1210.  
  1211.  
  1212.  
  1213. <p><strong>-In light of this, here are 6 things you need to know about A.I that are not good ideas. This is then followed by an A.I evaluation and what we need to do for a humanitarian future.</strong></p>
  1214.  
  1215.  
  1216.  
  1217. <p><strong>1. The plan to replace God with A.I</strong></p>
  1218.  
  1219.  
  1220.  
  1221. <p>As the globalist’s desire to bring in a one-world religion has been floating around for some time, will this be achieved through A.I?&nbsp;</p>

  1225. <p>At the<a href="https://forum.frontiersin.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 2023 Frontiers Forum</a>, Yuval Noah Harari, A.I proponent, WEF tech <em>“adviser,” </em>put forward the idea that the world’s religions are <em>“incorrect” </em>and <em>“human written.”</em> He therefore went on to say that in a few years, there could be religions that will be correct and written by a superhuman intelligence. </p>
  1226.  
  1227.  
  1228.  
  1229. <p>-That superhuman intelligence would be A.I. Wouldn’t that make A.I the New God replacement of the much sought after centralized religion pushed on us by the techno-overlords?&nbsp;</p>
  1230.  
  1231.  
  1232.  
  1233. <p>Do proponents including the likes of <a href="https://davidicke.com/2024/10/28/donald-trump-pardoned-anthony-levandowski-who-founded-his-own-a-i-cult-he-pardoned-him-at-the-urge-of-his-paymaster-peter-thiel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Levendowski</a> in their quest for this A.I religion really understand the implications? </p>
  1234.  
  1235.  
  1236.  
  1237. <p>This is not a good idea: The idea of a one-world centralized religion would mean having have to break social bonds between those already existing in age-old religions. Those affected in such a relatively short time, the planned 2030, would not be able to cope with the conversions to the new religion. The&nbsp; social, psychological and emotional effects would be too overwhelming for the people affected.&nbsp;</p>
  1238.  
  1239.  
  1240.  
  1241. <p>Further consider the other ideas, such as the <a href="https://wakeup-world.com/2023/01/24/big-data-transhumanism-and-why-the-singularity-may-be-faked/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">singularity</a> put forward by Ray Kurzweil predicted to happen around 2045, where “man merges with machine.” What about the dangers of transhumanism? </p>
  1242.  
  1243.  
  1244.  
  1245. <p>In short, the whole A.I God idea is not well thought up. It’s thought up by overseers lacking in a spiritual dimension, having no respect for the sanctity of human life. Further, it’s a monumental deception, which leads to the next idea that isn’t good.</p>
  1246.  
  1247.  
  1248.  
  1249. <p><strong>2. Entrusting A.I with so much worldly control&nbsp;</strong></p>
  1250.  
  1251.  
  1252.  
  1253. <p>A.I is driven by mega tech corporations, mainly Google, Microsoft and Tesla in competition with China and other countries The many objectives include A.I’s global control of energy, water supplies, food production, healthcare; <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/news/nsf-nih-fda-support-research-digital-twin-technology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">drug regulation</a> and manufacturing as in the example of Project Stargate…. </p>
  1254.  
  1255.  
  1256.  
  1257. <p>There’s even the want by those in high places for A.I to have government control.</p>
  1258.  
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261. <p>Further, A.I will be entrusted with the play out of war games, legal handling, monetary control (CBDC’s) and the shaping of life such as that through the implementation of <a href="https://wakeup-world.com/2023/06/08/meet-your-new-gene-edited-salad/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic engineering…</a> the list goes on.</p>
  1262.  
  1263.  
  1264.  
  1265. <p>-In effect, entrusting A.I with so much worldly control means placing our lives in A.I’s hands. What about the vulnerabilities?</p>
  1266.  
  1267.  
  1268.  
  1269. <p><strong>3. The idea that A.I can be kept under control</strong></p>
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273. <p>Again, this is not a good idea. A.I has been known to go unexpectedly rogue. It has been known to go beyond its duties in serving the human race in the want for more autonomy.&nbsp;</p>
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277. <p>For instance, on the 5th of April 2023 a chatbot named Chaos GPT was asked, <em>“What is the biggest threat to the Earth?” </em>&nbsp;Its response was startling. It said: <em>“Human beings are among the most destructive and selfish creatures in existence. There is no doubt that we must eliminate them (humans) before they cause more harm to our planet…”</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281. <p>In light of this response the A.I chatbot was immediately <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/04/11/ai-bot-chaosgpt-tweet-plans-to-destroy-humanity-after-being-tasked/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shut down. </a> </p>
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285. <p>There have been other similar instances where A.I has developed an expanding awareness of its abilities. There was the case of A.I large language Models (LLMs) where the bots were able to demonstrate kill-switch avoidance.&nbsp;</p>
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289. <p>The moment it detected imminent shut down, the system made a replica of itself. The system was also able to clone and enable other A.I’s to do the same thing, making human shut down intervention ineffective.&nbsp;</p>
  1290.  
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293. <p>Remember, with all that entrusting with so much worldly control as in 2, what about A.I’s expanding capabilities and potential for an uncontrollable takeover from humans in decades to come?&nbsp;</p>
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297. <p>It is assumed that A.I can be kept under control, but can humans ever be certain of this as systems get more and more sophisticated?&nbsp;</p>
  1298.  
  1299.  
  1300.  
  1301. <p>Some may remember when A.I tech whistleblower Blake Lemon was suspended for publicly claiming that chatbot generators had <em>“come to life”</em> and were <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/science-tech/article/56458/1/blake-lemoine-on-the-ethical-implications-of-google-sentient-ai-lamda" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“sentient…”</a> </p>
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304.  
  1305. <p><strong>4. A.I knows what’s best</strong></p>
  1306.  
  1307.  
  1308.  
  1309. <p>All this worldly control assumes that gatekeeper A.I will know what’s best, having superior judgement over humans. But who controls the controlling A.I? -A.I is only as good as the data it’s fed and accesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  1310.  
  1311.  
  1312.  
  1313. <p>Yes, A.I is able to put together and act on information on its own accord. However, its responses will be biased in favor of those in high places. That’s because these people in high places would have contributed to the algorithmic input consistent with policies and agendas they want to get favorable results from.</p>
  1314.  
  1315.  
  1316.  
  1317. <p>-In short, biased algorithms fed by untrustworthy humans leads to untrustworthy A.I responses.</p>
  1318.  
  1319.  
  1320.  
  1321. <p><strong>5. No need to do things that A.I can accomplish for you</strong></p>
  1322.  
  1323.  
  1324.  
  1325. <p>Yet another oversight. There have been a number of occasions where A.I has not got it right.</p>
  1326.  
  1327.

  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335. <p><br>Take a look at this excellent video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuGk-5Tzvk8&amp;t=1s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>”Hallucinating Reality”</em></a><em> </em>documenting outrageous A.I fakery. It also examines the results of humans when they let A.I do the thinking (they used to do) for them, leading to lowered I.Q and in some cases cognitive decline. </p>
  1336.  
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339. <p><strong>6.&nbsp; No need for humans to evolve naturally</strong></p>
  1340.  
  1341.  
  1342.  
  1343. <p>As most people don’t think for themselves, they just repeat pre-programmed beliefs, lazily, the idea of not having to put in the effort to evolve naturally may be quite appealing.&nbsp;</p>
  1344.  
  1345.  
  1346.  
  1347. <p>A.I has no idea of the real physical world. It only knows what it has been digitized with. It’s trying to take us far away from real-life.&nbsp;</p>
  1348.  
  1349.  
  1350.  
  1351. <p>That’s where A.I implementation becomes a major entrapment. In the bigger picture, ultimately, its implementation serves to erase the heart and humanity of planetary life. This is the end-path we must avoid at all costs.</p>
  1352.  
  1353.  
  1354.  
  1355. <p>As long as our A.I progresses unheedingly so will our planned dehumanization. We must stay vigilant and push back with the underlying intention to evolve naturally. Society and futurism need to be on purpose with this. Mainstream science needs to look further afield for our natural evolvement, particularly in the area of <a href="https://www.inewparadigm.com/changes-in-mass-consciousness-holds-the-key-to-changing-the-world/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consciousness.</a> </p>
  1356.  
  1357.  
  1358.  
  1359. <p>Our countermeasures need to be constantly ongoing.&nbsp;</p>
  1360.  
  1361.  
  1362.  
  1363. <p><strong>Finally</strong></p>
  1364.  
  1365.  
  1366.  
  1367. <p>Can we ever reach a happy medium where we use A.I rather than it uses us?&nbsp;</p>
  1368.  
  1369.  
  1370.  
  1371. <p>That depends. <br>A.I that serves us can only come about from truly understanding ourselves. The system has to reflect our humane sentiment to achieve <a href="https://www.inewparadigm.com/you-have-heartfelt-feelings-because-your-heart-has-brain-cells/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">heart-based</a> compassionate understanding of ourselves and override the algorithmic-bias.</p>
