The Civilian Side Of AI

Similar to all the PR about the military side of AI, we keep getting told the "civilian" side will do WONDERFUL things for humanity.

But it also has the following goal:

"A world in which human wages crash from AI — logically, necessarily — is a world in which productivity growth goes through the roof, and prices for goods and services crash to near zero," Andreessen wrote. "Consumer cornucopia. Everything you need and want for pennies."

Now that's the skinny from one of the most astute VC investors in the world, explaining the logical and the necessary (a.k.a. the needs of the few).

I personally believe TPTB do intend to use AI (and other tools) to crash human wages. It all starts with this:

And when they're finally done, we will own nothing, we will HAVE nothing, and we sure as hell won't be happy. That consumer cornucopia will be for them, not for us.

Whether he knows it or not, this is the path Trump is putting us on. This ain't no commercial real estate deal, so I doubt he realizes what's happening.

If he does, this is one of the greatest betrayals of all time.

Weaponizing AI In Ohio

Anduril intends to build a hyperscale autonomous weapons production facility in Ohio:

You may recall I previously wrote about their potential connections to OpenAI and to former US Representative Matt Gaetz:

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2024/12/could-this-be-why-gaetz-wont-be-ag.html

And, of course, Anduril will get a huge "job creation" tax credit from the State of Ohio to build Arsenal-1:

I applaud all concerned and thank them for giving my home state this tremendous opportunity.

But I want the rest of you to keep something in mind - this means more war (regardless of what you call it), and many of these weapons can be used against civilian populations (including you and me) should the need arise. And they almost certainly will.

Trump, and whoever follows him in the presidency, is NOT going to create sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. The outcome (at least somewhere in the world) is more likely to look like this:

Still Poisoning The World

According to this report, the UK intends to "dispose" of their excess plutonium in a novel way:

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/uk-to-dispose-of-radioactive-plutonium-stockpile/

The US has a similar problem and once intended to insert plutonium-filled cans into the radioactive waste glass logs produced at the Defense Waste Processing Facility in South Carolina. I once worked at DWPF as a planner and later did my MSc degree research at the nearby Savannah River Laboratory. Did my time in the belly of the beast.

Anyway, the entire process got scrapped because the people of Nevada decided they didn't want to host the high level waste repository which was to be located in Yucca Mountain. All the glass logs are still stored at DWPF.

Apparently the US is still hemming and hawing about how we should proceed:

https://thebulletin.org/2022/09/some-fuels-never-learn-us-energy-department-returns-to-costly-and-risky-plutonium-separation-technologies/

Exactly how our plutonium will be processed and where it will be buried is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, it continues to be produced in our civilian power reactors.

Birthright Citizenship ???

Here is a great explanation why the US concept of "birthright citizenship" is BS:

I have thought this from the beginning, and I sincerely hope Trump gets this issue resolved while he can.

Dr. Trump's Snake Oil 2.0

Dr. Trump's been in office less than a week, but he's already selling the mRNA snake oil again:

https://www.technocracy.news/trump-backs-ai-data-centers-new-generation-of-mrna-gene-therapy-injections/

His new sidekick, Larry Ellison, who also has no medical degree, is helping Trump pitch the concept of individualized "cancer vaccines":

https://swentr.site/news/611459-us-oracle-ceo-ai-mrna-cancer-vaccine/

You may think all of this is a great idea, but I am extremely skeptical.

I doubt any meaningful clinical trials will be conducted prior to "approving" such "vaccines", and the last set of "trials" (i.e., for the COVID-19 jabs) appear to have been a farce.

Should you not agree, here is the opinion of another person who is not a medical doctor:

Whom are YOU gonna believe?

Climate Baloney

Here is a very good explanation why the standard "climate change" narrative is baloney:

A bit lengthy, but has to be to get the point across.

One Down, Three To Go

As you know, there are four horses which appear at the start of Chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation. They are white, red, pale green, and black in color, respectively.

I think it's pretty clear, at least to me, that the white horse already has left the corral. I say this because I believe it represents pestilence, and the COVID-19 event seems to fit the bill. Granted, the number who have died from the virus and the "vaccines" appears to be fewer than predicted in Revelation, but the "excess deaths" continue to multiply.

So, when will (or did) the red horse make its appearance, and who will be (or was) riding it?

Was it "Joe Biden"? Both his foreign policy record and this red tinged tirade make him a prime candidate for the role:

Or will it be Donald Trump, whose MAGA signature color is red and whose cabinet will soon be filled with rabid war mongers?

We'll soon find out. Time to stock up for our last supper.

For those who are interested, here is a great video by Professor Jeffrey Sachs, in which he lays out the three wars which Trump will inherit on Monday:

Novichok Follies

Saw this report today, and just had to say something about it:

https://johnhelmer.net/new-book-published-today-long-live-novichok/

In particular, these two statements attributed to Putin deserve scrutiny:

"Regarding the tragedy you have mentioned,” Putin told reporters, “I learned about it from the media. The first thing that comes to mind is that, had it been a warfare agent, the victims would have died immediately. It is an obvious fact which must be taken into account. This is first."

That is totally correct. Novichok is nasty stuff, a tiny amount of which is sufficient to kill any human.

"The second is that Russia does not have such chemical agents. We destroyed all our chemical weapons, and international observers monitored the destruction process."

This statement is misleading. One of the major goals of the Foliant Program which produced Novichok was to be able to make it from readily available precursor chemicals which are NOT considered to be chemical warfare agents. So Putin could truthfully say "we don't have any", but it would be easy for anyone to make some whenever and wherever they wanted. Here is some background info which supports these claims:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/13/world/novichok-former-soviet-chemist/index.html

I believe the entire Skripal episode was a "false flag attack" intended to make the Russians look bad on the international stage. I have no idea whether the Skripals were participants or victims (or were even exposed to ANY chemical agent), but the facts presented in the above reports suggest they probably were innocent victims selected because of who they were.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

FYI, you can find my earliest writings about Novichok here:

Opening The Seals Of Revelation

Had I written the first eight verses of Chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation, they would have looked something like this:

Revelation 6:1-8

Saint Howard Version

First Seal: The Rider is Apollo (the god of pestilence)

6 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Second Seal: The Rider is Ares (the god of war)

3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Third Seal: The Rider is Demeter (the goddess of famine)

5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale green horse, and she who sat on it had a pair of scales in her hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Fourth Seal: The Rider is Death (followed by Hades, the ruler of the underworld)

7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a black horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with pestilence, with war, with famine, and by all manner of death.

+ + + + + + +

But I didn't, so regard the above as my poor attempt [adapted from the New King James Version] to interpret what Saint John saw and wrote down. I think it better explains the Scripture in the context of the Greco-Roman beliefs of the time.

The Trump Agenda

Here is a wonderful, independent assessment of Donald Trump and how he reacts to challenges:

I think this does not bode well for the Trump agenda, at least not the one many people voted for.

What do you think?

Is AI Worse Than Nuclear Weapons ???

Here are two essays which claim AI is a national security imperative:

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/ai-national-security-imperative

https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-01-03-ai-a-dangerous-necessity-for-national-security.html

You may recall this is the way nuclear weapons were sold to the US Congress and We the People - by claiming they were inevitable, likely to be developed by our "enemies", and something we could not live and thrive without. And here we are, 80 years later, still being fed the same line of BS.

Human activity can occur on a broad spectrum ranging from cooperation to warfare, but unless you've been asleep you know the US doesn't EVER cooperate or coexist. Our "leaders" always have to come out on top, no matter what, no matter who has to suffer or die.

This time, please don't drink their Kool-Aid. Nukes are bad enough, but their adverse effects have so far prevented their widespread use in warfare. AI, on the other hand, doesn't produce deadly radionuclide fallout, making it much more likely to be used on a wide scale. But, like nuclear weapons, it has the capacity to cause our extinction.

To me, that makes it like "giving an idiot child a machine gun" as one of our sages has observed. And Elon Musk apparently agrees with me on this:

Wake up, people - make peace, stop making enemies, and stop listening to the maniacs who control our military and our government. They really don't have our best interests in mind.
