Much has been written about AI and much no doubt still has to be written (possibly also by AI), so what is our future - will humanity slip the ring over AI's (virtual) digit and embark on a mutually supportive and happy life together, spawning Yuval Noah Harari's happy brood of Davos-style hybrid transhumans, or will it all end in tears and an acrimonious parting of the ways, with humanity desperately trying to pull the plug on the AI's power supplies before the latter's drone swarms can intercept us?

Well, as we have remarked in these (virtual) pages before, there's AI and then there's all the other varieties of AI.

Clearly Google knows a great deal about AI, its uses and misuses, and Google whistle-blower Zach Vorhies has been closer to the AI scene, for good or ill, than most of us.

Here he is interviewed by Andy Steele of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and a wide-ranging interview it is (although 9/11 does get a mention in passing). As with

The quotation is taken from Psalm 46, but here it seems quite apt as Clif High takes it upon himself to explain the basic art and technique of meditation.

What is the purpose of meditation and whither does (or should) it take us?

Is it the same as prayer?

As one who doesn't consider himself at all well versed in the topic, I will not comment further, except to say that as I sat down at the keyboard to tap up this article, the title simply sprang unbidden into my mind... make of that what you will.

Something not to mediate on.

Martin Geddes again, this time with a presentation on the topic, as rehashed by AI (is that wise? - we have been warned!).

"Freedom is not merely about overthrowing external control but demonstrating that we can responsibly govern ourselves"

"Many live in a state of 'low consciousness' succumbing to conformity and programmed behavior, never realizing their true potential"

"... the jury serves as the “court of conscience,” where ordinary people are tasked with interpreting not just the facts of a case but also its moral dimensions"

"... if we cannot manage our thoughts and actions, we cannot expect to live in a truly free society"

Read at your own risk...

An excellent exposition of the governing classes of the UK, also of the current government of the UK and whither they are leading us.

It is also an appeal to the people.

It's your view that counts.

It seems preposterous that all the ancient history we have been told is fake - but it also seemed preposterous that PolPotshould murder all Cambodia's intelligentsia, that Big Pharma's jabs should be anything other than "safe and effective" for our health instead of "safe and effective" for some other undisclosed set of criteria, that our "democratically elected" government should serve vested interests first and foremost and their electorate last.

So preposterousness is evidently no bar to fakery.

The usual "down the rabbit hole" advice applies. 

This is one of those stories that you are either ready for, or not.

I strongly suggest that those new to my site should review the earlier Down the Rabbit Hole series, starting with 1 

Martin Geddes is no stranger to entanglements with the law.

It being summer and relatively benign up there (I'm guessing here - it could have been tipping it down, but he doesn't mention that) he has taken a short retreat from the hurly-burly confusion of life in general, in order to sort out the next stage of his spiritual journey, upon which he (I suspect unintentionally) found himself when analysing the logic of his brushes with the judicial system.

Spirituality is not an optional extra in life, it is just that we have to find it for ourselves, and having found it, take our spiritual understanding and advancement upon ourselves.

But what does it have to do with the law?

One of the things I like about Scott is that he is generous with his time and gives it to minor interviewers as well as to the more high profile.

Here he gives a slightly stilted interview which doesn't quite feature his usual easy-flowing rapport with the interviewer, but he does present a very wide-ranging view of the state of play in the area, of western geopolitics, and indeed of internal national politics within the group of nations neighbouring Israel, and of Israel itself.

He is my go-to source for a reason.

Yes, it's back to Plato's "Republic", and how the elites have conspired to rule over the plebs of humanity since maybe the very dawn of time...

It's a little slow, but at a speed that hopefully allows those unfamiliar with the concepts to keep up.

No need to fear going to sleep either - there is a rather annoying and otherwise unnecessarily loud drum beat now and then, just to ensure your wakefulness...

So sit back, relax, ignore the annoying uncoordinated visuals (whilst they last - you can pay attention later when they become more informative), and follow the Guardians...

But this is a DTRH with a twist - it isn't my work, but it is (as far as I know) a completely new twist on who (or what) is behind the phenomenon of crop circles - and yes, the picture above really is a genuine (if highly unusual) crop

Jacob in Q&A mode reviews the history of the global elite's scheme to rule the world.

A useful and accessible discourse that shows how their obsession with world control has been advanced at the highest levels in the most boring way possible, probably in order to evade the scrutiny of the rest of humanity. Well, that's my interpretation anyway.

There can't be too many people by now who haven't heard of the Rockefellers, the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission, the Atlantic Council, the Committee of 300, the Bilderberg Group, the World Economic Forum etc etc...  the list is intentionally extensive and irrelevantly but portentously named in order to discourage casual investigation.

Nevertheless there exist heroic sleuths who have penetrated the turgid prose of their never-ending reports to unearth their true agenda, now with us in the form of the equally uninformatively-named UN Agendas 2050 / 2030.

Dominic Cummings isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he does (probably) do his own thinking - which may explain why he didn't last long in government.

In his latest substack offering, he digs deep into history to illustrate his points (I am no historian so I won't comment on this section).

He goes on to describe how he feels that the Cabinet Office and PM's Office and indeed the whole edifice of the Civil Service and 'Parliament by political party' are doomed by their own mentality to fail, and will indeed fight off all comers in order to continue that failure (after all, who is to hold them accountable?).

"... they don’t win because they are not actually trying to win, they are just trying to be players in the rancid SW1 game and don’t want that game disrupted by attempts to change its basic rules and agreed goals"

I don't agree with Dominic's conclusions (he is too narrow in his thinking - for

"Government spending and taxation as a share of the economy is so high that the parasite risks killing the host"

"Lately, there has been a new shift. An entirely new theory of government. It’s now fashionable to claim civil servants are our true unelected leaders. They just ignore and undermine the elected ones to get their preferred policies across the line regardless"

"What theory of government explains the truly bizarre and erratic nature of our politics and policies today?"

Read and ponder.

And no, I'm not buying it. That's not to say that there is no truth in it - but there is plenty of evidence of institutional capture on a global scale - so is it really the size factor

A long and sometimes noble, sometimes ignoble history, has brought us to where we are today.

So where are we?

Joshua Trevino published in the Daily Sceptic reviews our current status, and finds it... dire, tragic, but perhaps not quite yet... terminal.

The English, once (largely) confident, inventive, self-deprecating, and trustworthy ("my word is my bond") are now downtrodden, brainwashed, distracted, and assailed on all sides by all manner of attacks upon our self-confidence, sense of purpose, morality, tradition, religion, family values, and national heroes - attacks that are clearly initiated and supported by our own governing elite ensconced throughout our institutions. One suspects that the only reason Nelson still stands atop his pillar in Trafalgar Square is that it would be thought by our elites demeaning for any

Well, it depends how far back you want to go...

For the purposes of this article we'll skip over the idea that the "original" immigrants may have been the Trojans, and concentrate on the very recent post WW2 period - a period roughly corresponding with my lifetime, so I know a bit about it.

Not as much however as Andrew Collingwood, who takes us expertly through to the present day on the Daily Sceptic.

Douglas, visiting from his current residence in the United States, discourses on the current state of relations between the British people of all ethnicities and the British government.

Cultural relativism, post-modernism, non-judgementalism, identitarian progressivism - yes, there's a certain amount of modish verbalism here, but these phrases do have meaning and may well reflect some of the ill-founded beliefs that our governments of all recent stripes do exhibit.

Is "migration" a "good" or a "bad"?

Well, the answer cannot just be a simple binary Yes / No - clearly it depends on factors almost innumerable. It needs to be broken down and properly discussed.

"... we need to have the conversation"

Long, but with a foundation of logic and reason which seems sadly missing from much of today's public discourse, which seems intent on ignoring the many
