Yes, the conspiracy theorists are working overtime on this one - and after the last one, who can blame them?

" ... now all of a sudden we're looking for the world's basket of pathogens that we can say are out-breaking convenient as we time the fatalities associated with the injection"

" ... now we're taking all the symptoms that those people are going to present with, and we now have a convenient narrative that says it's a new pathogen ... "

Ridiculous of course ... but wait - would you bet against it?

Migration Starmered?

Migration Watch bring us up to date on the government's progress in handling migration. Well, maybe "progress" is a directional concept, normally implying improvement rather than failure.

In truth, governments of all stripes are legendary for their incompetence, not to mention perversity and fierce estrangement from matters common-sensical, so this one is probably just continuing on in the same direction as set by their predecessors and no doubt still guiding their civil servants today - government policy is a big ship and turning it is evidently a long and laborious exercise.

But has this exercise been started?

Perhaps we will find out when the government publishes their eagerly and long awaited new periodical from the Ministry of Truth. Shouldn't be long now. After all, with the advances afforded by modern AI, publication should be cinch.

It nevertheless seems to be still in gestation, but maybe the proposed title is causing concern in some quarters ...

 

Whither will AI Take Us? Or Whither will We Take AI?

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 all of humanity's creations, AIs can be designed and used for good as well as for ill - not merely for world domination.

So what are the paths that lie ahead; and if we choose wrong, will we get a second chance?

" ... we are going to see the destruction of the human-centred economy, and we're going to go toward the creation of an AI-centred economy ... hopefully they can make all of us so rich that we ... don't care, because right now ... the debt load's going up ... we have to  ... have a reset of this current system ... "

Let's work for a soft reset ... and yes - he does (finally!) end on an optimistic note.

NATO at War with Russia? I Can't Wait!

Friday 13th may not be the most auspicious time to declare war on Russia, but NATO seems to think that war is what NATO is there for. What was once sold to the public as a purely defensive alliance will shortly likely morph into an offensive grouping, just as soon as Messrs Lammy and Blinken can put the appropriate words together into a formal statement.

" ... long-range arms for Kyiv would mean 'NATO countries at war with Russia'

Don't take my word for it, take Mr Putin's.

Of course, if the Russian president really is a demented madman bent on world domination (and it is true that he was once one of Klaus Schwab's "young global leaders") then assisting the Ukraine defend itself from an entirely unprovoked attack might make sense (although we've been "assisting" for so long now to apparently little effect that one must call into question whether our assistance has been of value).

Like the NHS however, the Ukraine conflict has become another quasi-religious dogma of the UK-US government-media machine, an unassailable dogma that must be prosecuted to the nth degree regardless of reality and cost no matter the consequences.

Nor does history show that Mr Putin's "special military operation" was unprovoked - it came after a US-inspired Maidan revolution of 2014 that displaced the properly elected President, and was followed by many years of Kiev shelling the ethic-Russian Donbass in Ukraine's east, causing indiscriminate casualties.

Shelling that was not brought to an end by the subsequent Minsk Agreements.

So if we do permit Zelenskyy to bombard Moscow with Storm Shadow or other ordnance provided by us, how long do we think the UK will retain its bucolic tranquillity, untroubled by the arrival of Russian retaliation?

The truth is that NATO has been comprehensively outclassed by Russian measures to ensure that they at least will be able to defend both themselves and their territory, including Kursk, the Crimea, and the Donbass - NATO would be wise to review its stance and refrain from acting impulsively.

That on current form seems unlikely.

ZeroHedge brings our attention to a news report on the situation of the Ukraine conflict, from the Ukrainian perspective.

Regular readers of this site will not be unduly surprised, except that the report comes courtesy of CNN - an unusual source for such reportage.

When even the most on-message sources start to prepare their public for the truth, the end cannot be far away.
