The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been alarmingly rapid since 2022. Before then, AI was considered little more than a plaything or a novelty.  But now it is transforming businesses, wiping out entire categories of office jobs, and threatening human liberty. The first practical release of the Claude AI code-writing tool just by itself has completely transformed the global software industry. I’m talking about a Buggy Whips level of industry transformation. As a personal illustration, I should mention that my youngest son is now in his third year at a university here in The American Redoubt, studying for a degree in computer science. His prospects for finding a job when he graduates in 2027 have dropped dramatically since his freshman year. I’m now advising him to pursue a career in software design rather than programming. Otherwise, he’ll be another buggy whip maker. [Read More]

Decisions about digital IDs, also called e-IDs, will be made across the board by all countries (193 UN member-states) within short, or have already been made. In some cases, like Switzerland, people will have a choice, they will be able to vote on  the decision, see below.

In other countries, the governments, or those who pull the strings behind their governments, will take the decision without consulting the people.

A digital ID would be your last step to full enslavement – even if it is sold to you as a “benefit,” an “all-in-one” ID, that allows you passage to everything. What it does not say is that this “passage” comes at a high cost of liberty. It is granted only if you comply fully with the conditions of the e-ID and the linked QR code. [Read More]

It appears that at least some of the ultra-intelligent entities that we have been creating are starting to “wake up”, and that has extremely ominous implications for our future.  Right now, we are still in control of the incredibly sophisticated AI systems that we have built, but what happens once we lose control?  Theoretically, self-replicating AI systems could send copies of themselves all over the world through the Internet, and once that happens we will never be able to shut them down.  At that stage, there would be very little that we could do if ultra-intelligent AI entities decided to go to war with humanity.  Perhaps we could try to destroy the Internet and every device that was ever connected to the Internet, but that would also collapse virtually every system that our society depends upon at the same time.  I wish that I was describing the plot to some really bizarre science fiction movie, but I am not.  If we do not get AI under control now, eventually it could try to take control of us.

People are rapidly being phased out from the work force as bots and AI begin the process of fully-automating our global society ahead of Agenda 2030 mandate

The high tech elite that have accumulated so much wealth and so much power over the past couple of decades really are trying to create an entirely new class of people.  While the majority of the population continues to decline physically and mentally, they intend to use technology to transform themselves and their children into superhumans.  I know that this sounds really bizarre, but they truly believe that they will ultimately be far smarter, far stronger and live much longer than the rest of us.  In fact, there are some wealthy individuals that are now “breeding smarter babies” by using genetic testing services to select embryos with the highest potential intelligence... [Read More]

Once upon a time, talk of AI stealing jobs from people was science fiction. Today, it’s real life. From graphic design and translation to copywriting and customer service, we have already seen how quickly automation can eat into work once done exclusively by humans. This trend is no longer a problem for the future – it’s already happening. What’s currently unfolding is not just a shift in productivity tools, but a total structural transformation in how the world economy functions. By 2030, the global workforce may look completely unrecognisable, with over 300 million jobs projected to be severely impacted or totally replaced in just the next few years. [Read More]

“Work expands to fit the allotted time,” the saying goes. And that education is no exception holds a lesson: Some will say when pondering homeschooling, “I’m not qualified to teach my kids.” But, informs homeschooling advocate Brett Pike, it’s not just that you can teach your kids - and splendidly.

It’s that you can do it in a fraction of the time schools do. [Read More]

The EU is inching toward the biggest peacetime surveillance experiment in its history, with plans to quietly search every private message before you hit send.

The European Union is still wrestling with a controversial plan that would turn private messaging services into surveillance tools. For over three years, talks have stalled over whether providers should be forced to scan every user’s messages for possible illegal material and forward anything suspicious to law enforcement.
