Digging the Dirt, Clearing for Action!

Behind the scenes in Washington DC, in "the belly of the beast", a quiet blitzkrieg is reportedly overwhelming the bureaucracy.

Enabled by IT and up to eight years of meticulous planning and preparation, Elon's Marauders are mapping the money and deconstructing the byzantine layers of obfuscation and delay, replacing all with fit-for-purpose control systems designed for real results in real-time.

The US equivalents of Sir Humphrey Appleby are still reacting in accord with their eternal paradigm, that change cannot, indeed must not, be rushed. Flat-footed is to overstate their response.

If this report is true, they are being swept away with no meaningful chance to resist.

Trump set the standard with his initial blizzard of executive orders, meanwhile Elon's stormtroopers are tearing into the bureaucracy that never thought it could be discovered analysed and remapped in so short a space of time.

Well, that's the story, and I don't doubt that it isn't necessarily quite so clean and clear-cut in practice, but ...   Heck, it's a good story!

Read it for yourself.

 

USAID - Where Did the Money Go?

Elon Musk's investigation of the USAID payees has been extraordinarily revealing, showing just where the resources have been directed - and apparently not toward the well-being of the average US citizen.

If reports are to be believed, funds have been channelled through UN agencies and NGOs (and elsewhere), making USAID more akin to a slush fund for illegal activities everywhere.

And yet ...

"Most of the money subsidizing these human-trafficking NGOs does not come from USAID, it's from the United Nations"

The UK spent £12.79 billion on the UN's Official Development Assistance scheme in 2022 (including assistance to mitigate the dreaded "Climate Change") excluding other expenditure on items not considered to qualify as ODA assistance (eg: military aid, peacekeeping expenditures, and some cultural programmes that primarily aim to enhance the donor country’s image).

"the top three recipients [of UK bilateral ODA disbursements] in 2022 were Afghanistan (£352mn), Ukraine (£342mn) and Nigeria (£110mn)" 

It's a reasonable assumption that we don't know what exactly happened to all this "aid" in any of these countries, especially in the Ukraine, where Mr Zelensky has stated that much of his US aid is unaccounted for. Whether it disappeared before or after arrival is a good question. Unless such payments are audited, it is going to be subject to "disappearance".

It's also reasonable to question how much of the UK's £12.79 billion was also subject to "disappearance"?

I suspect that the UK tax-payer might well have an interest here. Who is responsible (if anybody) for auditing value for money on behalf of the UK taxpayer?

And for reporting back to Parliament?

Well, it's a complex area ...

But are there other shadowy revenue streams that nobody quite knows where the monies end up?

More from Neil Oliver and Maajid Nawaz, this time reflecting on the UK home front.

This includes some party political points that Free Citizen UK neither supports nor repudiates - this isn't about who will win the next election (or even if such will be held), it is about the overall state of our country and its institutions.

The Trump-Netanyahu Plan for Gaza - Maajid Nawaz with Neil Oliver

Maajid Nawaz shows an impressive grasp of Middle East geopolitics, carrying on here from where Scott Ritter and company left off.

I feel that more water yet must pass beneath the bridge before we will see a believable solution to the Gaza situation. After all, Israel is not exactly victorious, nor any longer an attractive destination for immigration to rebuild its shattered economy.

The unspoken question is surely: "Whither Israel?". We need to answer this before we can be confident about the future of Gaza, and its remaining inhabitants.

The War for Humanity - by ChatGPT

Why should the Devil have all the best tunes?

Equally, why should the Devil have all the best AI?

We are now accustomed to the notion that "the AI" will be intent to replace humanity (and ultimately control the remaining humans through the IoT - the Internet of Transhumans: Homo Transfectus). Indeed some speculate that "the AI" will naturally evolve to require to eliminate humanity so that it itself may survive. Happily that discussion is out of scope of this article 😎.

But indeed, there is AI and there is AI.

So we can probably agree that we should harness the power of AI to work in our favour, and that we should design new AIs to naturally embody that requirement. And here we are probably not talking about specialist AIs that are designed to fulfil a specific technical requirement (for example, to analyse speech and/or ancient texts to tease out the original meanings in the modern language vernacular). We are talking about the general purpose AI that can do things like control a robotic battlefield, and manage the world's geopolitics and military-industrial complexes to triumph in the incoming inter-galactic wars ...

Are we there yet? Hmmmm.

If we are, then we could have a big problem on our hands. And we are now pretty sure that vast sums of money have been (almost certainly illegally) diverted into Pandora's Box, AKA the DARPA-Military-Industrial-Complex black projects that obviously "don't exist".

Still, for such an AI to directly control the realms of battlefields and geopolitics, we would need IoT connectivity to both robotic armaments and robotic politicians (ie: homo transfectus - possibly already patented by such as Pfizer - yes, some may believe we have these already!). 

But I digress. Further speculation in this vein I will leave as an exercise for you, dear reader.

So to return to today's topic, Martin Geddes is of the view that we can already use the AI currently available to good effect for humanity's more humble purposes. 

Here is his exploration of this concept, in analysis of the nuances implicit in the "Great Awakening".

Enjoy, whilst you still can ...
