For something so widespread and potentially so significant, it’s remarkable it has taken this long.

Taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio shouldn’t be a starting place for aggressively biased coverage against either Democrats or Republicans. But you can ask Clarence Thomas how the machine works. On August 27, NPR veterans-affairs reporter Quil Lawrence lit into Donald Trump for bringing cameras to a section of Arlington National Cemetery with some families of soldiers killed during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The entire manufactured controversy is perverse. It’s obvious NPR is exploiting Arlington Cemetery for a political goal, and it then spread to the rest of the national media. Trump is showing support for grieving Gold Star families, while President Biden and Vice President Harris would not appear. They were MIA. But Trump was singled out as the one with grotesque political optics, not the no-shows whose negligence cost American lives. They weren’t seriously considering the Biden-Harris disaster on All Things Considered. They could call it “All Democrats Defended.” Conservatives quickly found snapshots from private photographers of Joe Biden in the same sacred section of the Arlington cemetery. That thing cannot be “considered.” In a different segment of this evening newscast, Lawrence and NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman reviewed the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing, which led to the death of 13 American service personnel. The segment was headlined: “The chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan in 2021 had stems from four administrations.”  NPR felt compelled to spread the blame around on everyone. Bowman spun furiously: "It's important to note that it was the Trump administration that signed this peace deal that was basically a quick exit plan.” Lawrence added, “There is a lot of failure to go around to the four presidents over the 20 years of war.” Lawrence was back the next morning to add another layer of reheated Democrat spin to the mix: “You know, Trump has a controversial history with comments about disabled veterans, though, and about fallen soldiers. Some of his former staff have said Trump called fallen World War II troops losers and suckers for fighting and dying when they had no personal gain at stake. Trump denies these comments, but even this year, he mocked the late John McCain for not being able to raise his arms fully.” One of the most annoying problems with this story is using anonymous cemetery officials to attack Trump’s optics. This leads the public to assume only Trump is being political, that it’s impossible that the people seeking to block Trump and the Gold Star families are partisan Democrats doing damage control.  Democrat journalists should be accused of hiding Democrat activism with an undeserved veil of anonymity. Why grant anonymity here? They’re supposedly nonpartisan public officials. Lawrence said they stopped talking: “They've told NPR and other media outlets that they're no longer going to answer any questions about this because they want to protect the identity of the official who confronted the Trump campaign.” Then Lawrence closed with one last insult: ”But our source told me that they have never seen this level of disrespectful behavior at Arlington, ever.” This sounds vaguely reminiscent of the anonymous “nonpartisans” at the National Archives that hated Trump so much it eventually led to an armed raid on Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago over some missing presidential papers. Trump is always the loutish supervillain, and the people heaping negative press on him are painted as patriotic anonymous bureaucrats.   This is the corrupt nature of public broadcasting, loaded almost entirely with partisan Democrats, subsidized by Democrat politicians to provide mudslinging campaign ads disguised as “journalism.” It’s not “public” radio. It’s for the socialist half of the public. 

Much fanfare has been lavished on the concept of artificial intelligence in the past five years, to the point that its primacy is treated in the media as a foregone conclusion. The idea that algorithms can “think” has become a pervading myth, a sci-fi fantasy come to life. The reality is much less impressive.We continually hear from globalists at the World Economic Forum and other elitist institutions that AI is the catalyst for the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” — a technological singularity that will supposedly change every aspect of our society forever. I keep waiting for the moment that AI does something significant in terms of advancing human knowledge or making our lives better. The moment never comes. In fact, the globalists keep moving the goalposts for what AI really is.Globalists want the proliferation of AI because they know that people are lazy and will use the system as a stand-in for individual research. If this happens on a large scale, then AI could be used to rewrite every aspect of history, corrupt the very roots of science and mathematics, and turn the population into a drooling hive mind, a buzzing froth of brain-dead drones consuming every proclamation of the algorithm.I would note that WEF zealots like Yuval Harari talk about AI like it is the rise of an all-powerful deity (I discuss the globalist worship of AI in my article "Artificial Intelligence: A Secular Look at the Digital Antichrist"). Yet Harari has also recently downplayed AI as a sentient intelligence. He argues that self-awareness or consciousness doesn’t need to be achieved in order to be considered a super-being or a living entity. He even suggests that the popular image of a Terminator-like AI with individual agency and desire is not a legitimate expectation.In other words, AI as it stands today is nothing more than a mindless algorithm, and thus it is not AI. But if every aspect of our world is engineered around digital infrastructures and the populace is taught to put blind faith in the “infallibility” of algorithms, then eventually they become the robot gods the globalists so desperately desire. That is to say, AI dominance is only possible if everyone BELIEVES that AI is legitimate. Harari essentially admits to this agenda in the speech above.The allure of AI for average people is the pie-in-the-sky promise of freedom from worry or responsibility. As with all narcissists, the global elite love to future-fake and buy popular conformity now on false promises of rewards that will never come.Yes, algorithms are currently used to help laymen do things they could not do before, such as build websites, edit essays, cheat on college exams, create bad artwork and video content, etc. Useful applications are few and far between. For example, the claim that AI is “revolutionizing” medical diagnosis and treatment is far-fetched. The U.S., the nation that arguably has the most access to AI tools, is also suffering from declining life expectancy. We know it’s not COVID because the virus has a 99.8% average survival rate. You would think that if AI is so powerful in its ability to identify and treat ailments, the average American would be living longer.These digital tools haven't lived up to the hypeThere is no evidence of a single benefit to AI on a broader social scale. At most, it looks like it will be good at taking jobs away from web developers and McDonald’s drive-thru employees. The globalist notion that AI will create a robotic renaissance of art, music, literature, and scientific discovery is utter nonsense. AI has proven to be nothing more than a tool of mediocre convenience, but that’s actually why it’s so dangerous.I suspect the WEF has changed its ideas about what AI should be because it’s not living up to the delusional aspirations the elites originally had for it. They’ve been waiting for a piece of software to come to life and start giving them insights into the mechanics of the universe, and they’re starting to realize that’s never going to happen. Instead, the elitists are increasingly shifting their focus to the melding of the human and digital worlds. They want to fabricate the necessity of AI because human dependence on the technology serves the purposes of centralization.But what would this actually look like? Well, it requires the population to continue to get dumber while AI becomes more integral to society.For example, it is widely accepted at this point that a college education is no indication of intelligence or skill. Millions of graduates entering the workforce today display an unsettling level of incompetence. This is partially because college educators are less capable and ideologically biased and the average curriculum has degraded. But we also need to start accounting for the number of kids coasting their way through school using ChatGPT and other cheat boxes.They don’t need to learn anything; the algorithm and their cell phone cameras do it all for them. This trend is disturbing because human beings tend to take the easiest path in every aspect of survival. Most people stopped learning how to grow food because industrial farming does it for us. They stopped learning how to hunt because there are slaughterhouses and refrigerated trucks. Many Zennials today are incapable of cooking for themselves because they can get takeout delivered to their door any time they want. They barely talk on the phone or create physical communities any more because texting and social media have become the intermediaries in human interaction.Yes, everything is “easier,” but that does not mean anything is better.My great fear — the future that I see coming down the road — is one in which human beings no longer bother to think. AI might be seen as the ultimate accumulation of human knowledge, a massive library or digital brain that does all the searching and thinking for you. Why learn anything when AI “knows everything”? Except this is a lie.AI doesn’t know everything; it only knows what its programmers want it to know. It only gives you the information its programmers want you to have. The globalists understand this, and they can taste the power that they will have should AI become paramount as an educational platform. They see it as a way to trick people into abandoning personal development and individual thought.Look at it this way: If everyone in the world starts turning to AI for answers to all their questions, then everyone in the world will be given the same exact answers and will come to the same exact conclusions. All AI has to do is actively censor any information that contradicts the official narrative.Centralized control We got a taste of this Orwellian condition during the COVID pandemic, when Big Tech companies like Google used algorithms to bury any and all data that proved COVID was not the threat that government officials said it was. You could not go on YouTube for at least three years and look up alternative information on COVID or the vaccines. The algorithm forced everyone to sift through a long list of establishment sources, many of them promoting blatant lies about masking, social distancing, the COVID death rate, and vaccine safety.The powers that be don’t even need to directly censor or remove information they don’t like. All they have to do is let the algorithm dictate the search results and bury the truth on page 10,000, where no one will look.How would this affect the average person? Say AI is programmed to dictate scientific discourse. What if AI says that man-made climate change is an undeniable reality and the “science is settled” while never presenting the mountain of counter-evidence to the contrary? No one will look up the real data because AI will make it impossible to find. Everyone will assume AI is telling them all there is to know about the subject, but it gets worse than that.Many readers might remember a few months back when Google AI system “Gemini” was programmed to force DEI onto its users. Whenever a person asked the AI to create a historical image, the algorithm made everyone black or brown and often female. Depictions of white men were suspiciously rare despite historical accuracy. This meant endless images of black and brown Highlanders in Scotland, black Founding Fathers in America, female Catholic popes, Asian knights in medieval Europe, and, hilariously, even black Nazis in WWII Germany.AI developers often claim that once an AI is created, they don’t really control what it does and how it grows. The Gemini incident proves this is a lie. AI can definitely be controlled or at least molded by coding to promote whatever propaganda the programmers want it to promote. There is no such thing as an autonomous AI; there is always an agenda.To summarize, globalists want the proliferation of AI because they know that people are lazy and will use the system as a stand-in for individual research. If this happens on a large scale, then AI could be used to rewrite every aspect of history, corrupt the very roots of science and mathematics, and turn the population into a drooling hive mind, a buzzing froth of brain-dead drones consuming every proclamation of the algorithm as if it is sacrosanct.In this way, Yuval Harari is right. AI does not need to become sentient or wield an army of killer robots to do great harm to humanity. All it has to do is be convenient enough that we no longer care to think for ourselves. Like the “great and powerful” Oz hiding behind a digital curtain, you assume you’re gaining knowledge from a wizard when you’re really being manipulated by globalist snake-oil salesmen.Editor's note: This article was originally published on alt-market.us.

By removing these leaders, we succeeded only in eliminating an easy target of public criticism, a fact that allows the schools to deflect accountability.

It’s a poets-vs.-pundits battle for the truth.
