Let’s Talk About...Andy Burnham, the UK’s Newest Puppet-in-Chief

As of yesterday morning, the United Kingdom has a new Prime Minister, and his name is Andy Burnham.

In a startlingly low-Democracy effort, even by modern standards, a sitting MP resigned his safe seat so Andy Burnham could “contest” a by-election with the express purpose of ousting Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader.

Less than 30,000 votes - that’s the Burnham democratic mandate. [Read More]

UN Created a Global Disinformation Task Force; Now it’s Taking Control of Information Through “AI Governance”

In 2024, the UN created a new task force on disinformation. This task force is not about addressing misinformation or disinformation that would lead to any type of real-world truth. Its sole purpose is to focus on how certain information would affect achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030).

Last week, the UN held a “Global Dialogue on AI Governance.”

The task force and AI governance are linked in their desire to control the information the public is allowed to see under the guise of safeguarding information integrity. [Read More]

The Day the Grid Failed: The Seventeen Minutes That Exposed the Fragile Foundations of Modern Civilization

By the time the first official statement reached the public, the statement itself no longer mattered. Television networks were already off the air across much of the continent, mobile networks had fragmented into isolated pockets, and the internet - once assumed to be nearly indestructible - had become a collection of disconnected islands separated by an invisible wall of silence. Rumors traveled farther than verified information, speculation outran evidence, and for the first time in generations millions of people discovered how completely their understanding of the world depended on a stream of data they had always taken for granted. Historians would later argue over the precise moment the crisis began, but among engineers and emergency planners there was remarkably little disagreement. The collapse did not start when cities lost power. It started hours earlier, hidden inside measurements so small that they resembled ordinary background noise rather than the opening chapter of the largest infrastructure failure in modern history.

The AI Jobs Apocalypse Has Begun: We Are Witnessing an Unprecedented Wave of AI-Related Layoffs in 2026

We all knew that this would be coming. In 2026, the rate of AI-related layoffs has greatly accelerated, and that means that large numbers of good paying jobs are suddenly disappearing from the economy. This is occurring when we are already facing one major crisis after another, and so the timing could not be worse. Many young people specifically chose a major in college that would prepare them for positions in the tech industry because those were supposed to be the jobs of the future. Unfortunately, the AI jobs apocalypse is wiping out those jobs the fastest. [Read More]

Congress Has a New Intelligence Bureau and it’s Spying on Americans Critical of AI

As rage about artificial intelligence and the data centers powering it grows, Congress is taking notice - not with any legislation or law, but by spying on public opposition.

A newly created intelligence agency of the Congress (yes, it has its own now) is warning that legislators are in danger from an angry public. The U.S. Capitol Police Intelligence Services Bureau, created after January 6 and in parallel to the 18-member Executive Branch intelligence community, laid out the warning in an internal intelligence report produced in April.
