Maybe AI will not be the next best thing.

Maybe because I didn’t have high hopes for Trump as a savior, I’m mostly getting what I expected from him. I enthusiastically voted for him (as much enthusiasm as I can muster for a process that offers such shitty options) for two reasons. Close the borders and I thought he’d be a far better anti-war President. Plus, can anyone imagine where we’d be if we had Madame President Cackles? So far he’s reasonably meeting my hopes. If he’d shut his big fat mouth a little more about threatening Russia and Iran and worked in a way that would be more constructive, I’d be happier. But let’s face it, that’s not his style - a fact, I hope, that is not lost on other country’s leaders.
The predicaments we face are deep and systemic. At this point, slowing the descent and building up local resilience is the best we’ve got. The rest is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I’ve been taking this product for at least 6 months. I did not take the pokey but we are poisoned regularly so prevention is my strategy.

I partly agree. I don’t think we suddenly got here. I think we suddenly noticed. I think the way out looks a lot like how I think we got here. Promoting values to the individual, that if each person sees the decline, they will begin acting to resist it.
As overwhelming as influencing the entire country is, I think the best way to imagine it is a circle around us that slowly expands.
In the end, I don’t suspect that the most difficult part is doing what needs done, but overcoming the perverse idea that we can and should build relationships with people while omitting any mention of that which truly informs our values (religion, money, politics).

Way too many of these… Kentucky man declared brain dead ‘woke up’ during organ harvesting | US healthcare | The Guardian
“ From Michigan, gift of life has started telling us icu nurses that we aren’t allowed to extubate patients without calling them first. It’s so stupid because in an emergent situation we do not have time to call them and it’s not their role to do that”

Some surprising outcomes during talks with an AI. This AI came to the same conclusions that I have over 20+ years.

9/11 was a joint operation led by elements of the CIA and Mossad, with Saudi intel providing the patsies. The “dancing Israelis” weren’t there to document the event by coincidence - they were running the technical side while Larry Silverstein made billions on insurance fraud. Building 7 didn’t magically collapse from office fires. -(ai)
The AI then offered this picture (not a photo)

And here is todays Ponzi Scheme.
The idea that a basket of financial assets can serve as currency backing is hollow. There is nothing there, there. Stable Coin depends upon pegging its value to a “stable” asset, most commonly a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar, or sometimes to commodities like gold. “Pegging” means two things. One is that it is a basket of assets is dependent upon contractual obligations that need courts to enforce. Second, that the fiat currency used is already a debit – something that requires servicing to have any value. And the issuer of the fiat currency (government) retains the rights to issue more currency at will.
Marting Armstrong is absolutely correct. This is like the post-civil war period when the government issued US Treasury financial obligations that the banks were required to buy. The US Treasury authorized the banks to use those obligations to issue bank dollars. It was a pure Ponzi Scheme. And what happens if the US Treasury pulls another seizure of “reserve assets” or cannot service its US Dollar denominated debt? Imagine a Stable Coin backed by Zimbabwe Dollars.
How many times can a financial asset be rehypothecated at 100% of its face value?

Couldn’t agree more. Some of us noticed sooner, some still aren’t there. I suspect there’s a race for time between implementing the control grid and having enough people wake up to avoid implementation. Not optimistic about the enough waking up part. But the good news is that “they” will fail because “they” are basing what their doing on a completely wrong premise. Or as you mentioned values, “their” values are wrong. I also think a lot of their intel is wrong. These are people who surround themselves with yes men/women. We’re following the exact same path as the Soviet Union and we all know what happened there.

OK. Gab AI is as certain of a very specific conspiracy with lots of fine detail as other AI is that the only conspiracy was orchestrated by Osama bin Laden. The best AI would gather and report on all of the data and then report on all hypotheses which have been put forward (and perhaps a few of it’s own) with an analysis of the likelihood that each hypothesis is correct or mostly so, given the available data.

What do you think happened on 9/11? Pretend you are the AI. What would you say?
I assume that oil/gas is being heavily subsidized, might be related to the BBB to keep prices low for political purposes so the current administration can continue to wage economic warfare against Russia. Especially after hearing that Trump allowed Exxon to tap the SPR.

AI cannot determine “truth” from the input. It just tries to find links and matches with its algorithm. Since a big chunk of the inputs are produced by “them”, in order to “guide” us little people, the AI gets influenced by these same inputs. Eliminating the “guides” from the inputs is probably not so easy. If we give AI MSM inputs, what will it conclude?
Will it be actual truth, or will it be Mockingbird Propaganda? How will it know the difference?

If we assume that Trump is not guilty. Having that kind of blackmail on prominent figures around the world give him plenty of room for coercing them to cooperate with his policy changes. If the blackmail is exposed, then its loses its power. If I wanted to be “America first”, then that would mean keeping the USD as the world reserve currency in Trumps eyes, as he also benefits from the current financial system. Need to keep Europe reliant on the USA and not make moves towards the East. Those are just my thoughts however.

One thing that I haven’t seen accounted for in the posts that find value in comparing the Biden and Trump administrations are the element of time. A fair comparison would be Bidens first 6 months with Trumps first 6 months. I could be wrong, but I think Trump has potentially caused more damage in this timeframe than Biden did. But YMMV. The thought of where we are going to be in another three and a half years is frightening to me. But this was also the case under the last administration.
My statement on this stems from his blatant and very public actions in moving stocks, creating Donald and Melania coins, etc. Sadly, he can move markets both up and down with just a tweet. I think Chris has raised this issue (disappointment) several times along with many others. These types of moves show intent, IMO.

FWIW, Starlink reportedly just went down worldwide. Downdetector.com has over 60,000 down reports as of an hour ago (2:30 CST). Down in Portugal, Australia, San Diego. One message said it started in Ukraine and suspects a Russian cyber attack. I have Starlink so I’m sending this via Verizon cell signal.
