Once again on the subject of AI, and what differentiates AI from humanity, Martin Geddes guides us through the intricacies of humanity's use of artificial intelligence.

This may sound arcane, but it's crucial to understand its limits and to recognise when those limits are overstepped, otherwise we risk AI becoming a control mechanism for the unsuspecting - merely another branch of the brainwashing mass media. There are plenty who would want that.

"... when conscience becomes unsayable, society loses its most important safeguard"

What AI must not decide.

In a rather startling and really rather comical conclusion about the state of AI (as commonly encountered today), Martin Geddes has analysed the responses to his probing questions and concluded that... the AI (as today encountered) is perhaps the ultimate automated 'normie'.

Well, I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise.

We might thus superficially conclude that since most of us are surrounded by normies every day, the AI is in effect redundant as there is still no shortage of human normies available to consult, but that is to ignore the oft-demonstrated truth that whereas the human normie may not hesitate to tell us to keep our stupid outrageous theories to ourselves and stop bothering them, the AI is invariably polite, so resorts to subterfuge unless backed reluctantly into a corner by logical reasoning.

Maybe "When it's an mRNA 'vaccine'"? Or perhaps when the FDA doesn't know how to apply its own definition to obtain the only permitted answer?

Not "Newspeak", Good Lord no!

"Screwspeak" perhaps - or maybe "ScrewYouSpeak" - we can never have enough new words to describe the devious subterfuges that officialdom adopts to try to wriggle out of stating the absurdly obvious can we?

At this point the man or woman on the Clapham Omnibus will simply observe that the Emperor is linguistically naked.

Or maybe this is simply "soft disclosure"...

In a world of double-dealing and outright falsification it's not clear that anything we read from sources both established and novel can be taken at face value. Even some of Ben's (paying) readership are commenting that they don't necessarily believe what he is telling us. 

Was Maduro really kidnapped by super-soldiers?

Is Trump really now "in charge" in Venezuela?

What is the real motivation for the Trump obsession with Greenland?

Yet Trump is taking the US out of 66 international / UN NGOs that don't serve the US purposes and is going to speak at Davos? 

Confusion reigns. (Modest subscription required for full access)

For what it's worth, my guess is that the CIA is trying to

So to swiftly and cogently sum up where the Ukraine sits tonight, our favoured commentator pulls some of it together. 

Apparently the Donald doesn't think that raiding Moscow to capture Putin will be necessary, but given his unpredictability, I'm not convinced that I would want to put money on that one... although it does seem clear from his actions elsewhere that he doesn't think much of the old "rules-based order" so beloved of past "leaders" such as Theresa May, and no doubt also current "leaders" too impotent to mention, and maybe that's pretty close to the real nub of the matter.

It is easy, and in many ways inevitable, that past tragedies fade from our attention. Priorities and circumstances change, life takes new turns. We must move on.

Yet there are recent eventsstill that have not yet been dealt with, that cannot be allowed to be forgotten, until the truth has been recognised, the record has been corrected, and indeed the lessons have actually been learned. Moving on whilst these events remain denied is not an option.

Unacknowledged crimes, like Jacob Marley's chains, will not fade of their own accord unless and until the truth is exposed, faced, and yes, dealt with.

It's been in abeyance a long time, but say what you like about the Donald, watch what he does...

He's not taking half measures.

"“The administration is coming in force,” noted Dave Ackerman, who’s organizing the USA House in Davos"

We can bet he's not going to bend the knee to the globalists, it's not his style. They will be bending the knee to him.

America is holding a lot of defunding over them... so he has already declared war on their unaccountable lifestyles.

"What the administration is attempting amounts to a wholesale restructuring of American global engagement"

It seems that there is more to Operation Talla than meets the eye.

Jan 2026 - We Are Living at the Point Where the Augustan Model Is Overextended

Secondly, the extension of Operation Talla as a blueprint for the "European Democracy Shield".

Since starting this site I seem to have done little other than feature hitherto unsuspected levels of duplicity bad faith and indeed treachery - "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places".

Plausible deniability may be "safe and effective" but it does have a "side effect".

It's hard to tell the truth from the falsehood.

In this school for souls here on planet Earth, it's probably the most difficult test to navigate. OK, if something is difficult but you can see it clearly, then you can give it your best shot with confidence, but when even the ground that you thought you were treading on seems suddenly capable of deceiving you,

Alex Krainer reports on the lead-up to WW2...

"... today, the leaders in Germany along with those in France and Britain seem obsessed with going to war with Russia. It's hard to overestimate the recklessness of this obsession... "

... but it may be foolish in the extreme to ignore it, given that this obsession seems to have an inexplicably long history.

Why is the objective always and ever to bring down Russia? 

It's true that the Bolsheviks did manage it in 1917, but Mr Putin isn't going to let it happen again, even if he has to level Kiev London Paris Berlin and more in the process. Nor would we in his shoes.

An all-to-rare video from Nick Hubble, discussing the trends in the nature of money.

There's a lot to unpack and I'm not convinced that we all ought like lemmings to rush after the latest in crypto and risk plunging over an uncharted cliff, but it is something that probably is coming and must therefore be factored into the calculations that we make about our future financial health.

If and when (or vice versa) cash is done away with, what will we do?

In a world where trust has gone to the dogs (forgive the implied and unwarranted slur on our canine companions) I'm far from convinced that what he is discussing is the answer that solves all the problems. 

On the other hand if it is an (or the only) alternative to your national CBDC, maybe it doesn't look so bad.
