The Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), António Guterres, has warned the world not to allow artificial intelligence (AI) a role in the decision to launch nuclear weapons.Speaking at a meeting of the Arms Control Association (ACA), Guterres warned that "humanity is on a knife's edge", with the risk of nuclear weapons use being at "heights not seen since the Cold War". "States are engaged in a qualitative arms race," Guterres said in his address. "Technologies like artificial intelligence are multiplying the danger, nuclear blackmail has reemerged with some recklessly threatening nuclear catastrophe, meanwhile the regime designed to prevent the use, testing, and proliferation of nuclear weapons is weakening. Dear friends, we need disarmament now."      The Secretary-General urged countries to disarm, and for those that already possess nuclear weapons to lead the way. "I also urge the United States and the Russian Federation to get back to the negotiating table, fully implement the new START treaty, and agree on its successor," he continued. "Until these weapons are eliminated all countries must agree that any decision on nuclear use is made by humans; not machines or algorithms."While that last part may sound like a far-off threat, automation played a part in the Cold War. A "dead hand" system of ensuring nuclear annihilation in the event that the Soviet Union's command was destroyed by a nuclear blast monitored seismic activity, radiation levels, and air pressure for signs that a nuclear weapon had been launched at the superpower. If the system detected such a strike, it would then check if communication lines between top Soviet officials were open. If they were, it would shut down after 15 minutes, as it would mean people who could decide on whether to launch a strike were still alive. If lines were dead, authority to launch nuclear weapons would be transferred to lower-level operators of the dead hand system inside a protected bunker, placing the fate of the world in the hands of a lower-level officer and a computer system.This was never activated, which you can tell on account of how you're alive. However, on September 26, 1983, a missile-detection system appeared to detect five nuclear missiles heading towards the Soviet Union. Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov, skeptical of the detection, refused to tell the Soviet command to launch a retaliatory strike. The detection turned out to be the result of the Sun’s glare reflecting off high-altitude clouds, which looked like a potential strike from satellite data. Perhaps we should be wary of automating – via algorithms or AI – decisions that could wipe out humanity. If it was up to them, humanity could have already been wiped out due to clouds.

Disney's destruction of the Star Wars franchise has reached peak demolition with its new series, The Acolyte. In the past, Disney has created Star Wars shows that are woke, incoherent or girl-bossy, with the exception of early seasons of The Mandalorian and Andor. But the "House of Mouse" has straight-up lost its mind with this new series, released on June 4th. The first two episodes of The Acolyte, set long before the Republic crumbled and the Empire took over, premiered last week. The opening episodes fulfilled Hollywood diversity quotas while rolling out a murder mystery in which Jedi are killed by a mysterious woman with force powers. In episode one, "Lost," a former Padawan named Osha (Amandla Stenberg) is arrested as the likely suspect. By episode two, "Revenge/Justice," the Jedi realize that the murderer is actually Osha's evil twin sister, Mae (also played by Stenberg). Last night, Disney premiered episode three, "Destiny," which revealed the twins' back story. It's in this new episode that the series went off the rails. It turns out that Osha and Mae were created and birthed by two lesbian witches, Mother Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Mother Koril (Margarita Levieva).  As the lesbian couple tells each other: Koril: I carried them. Aniseya: I created them.   Lesbian conception#Acolyte pic.twitter.com/w7ZKqUpNce — Nerdrotic (@Nerdrotics) June 12, 2024 In this galactic feminist fantasy, lesbians don't need a man to make a baby. Their coven has an "ascension ceremony" which looks like it could be from an old episode of a CW teen witch show. This is Disney Star Wars BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA#Acolyte pic.twitter.com/EZ4FcnNWb8 — Nerdrotic (@Nerdrotics) June 12, 2024 The ritual is interrupted by four Jedi who know the witches are hiding kids with potential powers of the Force. When Osha says she thinks the Jedi are good, Mother Aniseya tells her, "This isn't about good or bad. This is about power and who is allowed to use it." How very Marxist of mommy. When Jedi inquire about the twin's paternity, Aniseya proudly says, "They have no father." Mae lies during a Jedi test to hide her specialness, but Osha decides she wants to study with the Jedi. The thought of losing her twin to the Jedi causes Mae to go crazy. She burns down the whole coven with all the witches, including her lesbian mothers. One of the Jedi rescues Osha as the coven headquarters burn. The witches' peaceful existence is thus destroyed by the intrusion of the Jedi. Five more episodes remain of this new series, created by Leslye Headland, who was Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant. Needless to say, any creator who worked for years with Weinstein is uninterested in topics like honor, heroism and timeless battles between good and evil. Future episodes will undoubtedly have more lesbian/Marxist/feminist "subversion" of patriarchal heteronormative narratives. Apparently, Disney still has a lot of nails left to hammer into Star Wars' coffin.

I’m so glad our police force is focused not on combating crime and keeping our cities safe but rather on hiring someone to cater to queer people’s emotions and sensitivities  On Tuesday the Fairfax County Police Department shared three images of PFC Tiara Goode who will serve as the county’s new LGBTQ Liaison Officer.  “We’re proud to introduce PFC Tiara Goode as our new LGBTQ Liaison Officer! Starting her journey in the McLean District, PFC Goode is a valued Honor Guard member and currently works as a detective in our recruiting section. Her role is vital in fostering inclusivity and support within the department and the community,” the group wrote in the Facebook post. It looks like Goode’s role will be to amplify and celebrate LGBTQ voices both within the Fairfax police department as well as the surrounding community.  I can’t say this is too surprising. Fairfax is a relatively progressive area and the Fairfax County Police Department seems to be pretty “all-in” when it comes to ramming "pride" in everyone's face. The group posted a reel on its social media pages with the caption “Celebrating #PrideMonth with the FCPD!” The video showed cops walking around a local pride event in the Mosaic district of Northern Virginia. It also showed some drag queen performances and highlighted a photo where two cops posed with a drag queen. In response to the announcement of Goode’s role, people actually worried about the area’s safety shared their concerns. A few different people commented on the group's Facebook post: “What does that have to do with police work?” One user wrote, “A ‘what’?? You can't think of a better use of the time/money than to cater to the permanent-victim crowd? I'm disappointed in this. Glad I don't live in that area anymore.” Similarly, over on X, Libs of TikTok shared an image of the post and wrote, “I have a wild idea but hear me out… what if police help stop crime and focus on protecting all citizens equally regardless of who they like to have s*x with.” Comments flooded in writing things like, “You know what would help bring everyone together? Less crime” or others called this “insanity” and “s**t” that “has to stop.” Hey, they’re right. If you live in the Fairfax, Virginia area, you may want to be extra cautious this summer since it’s clear your police officers are more focused on gayness than actually keeping you safe.  

Following the three felony convictions of Hunter Biden on Tuesday, ABC seemingly exposed the identity of one of the jurors against his will. The contrast was obvious, ABC broadcasted his face across the country while CBS News and NBC News both noted that he didn’t want his identity revealed and took precautions to protect him. ABC senior national correspondent Terry Moran seemingly ambushed Juror 10 in a parking garage somewhere and shoved the camera in his face, wanted to know why and how they convicted President Biden’s “only survived son”: MORAN:  First the jury was divided according to juror number ten. JUROR 10: Believe it or not, it was a split vote. MORAN: 6-6. JUROR 10: 6-6. MORAN: That was the first vote? JUROR 10: That was the first vote.     “So, you didn't buy the notion that for those few days around the purchase of the gun, he wasn't abusing drugs?” Moran pressed Juror 10. “No, not at all,” the juror responded. “But after sleeping on it, they decided there was enough evidence to prove that Hunter was abusing drugs in the critical timeframe, including from his own text messages; especially one sent the day after he bought the gun saying he was waiting for a dealer name Mookie,” Moran admitted. Contrast Moran’s interaction with that of CBS’s Weijia Jiang, who apparently interviewed Juror 10 on a sidewalk. “We spoke to juror number 10. who asked not to be identified,” she said, the interview was conducted with the juror’s back to the camera. Over on NBC, Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles and more of a sit-down interview with Juror 10. “Juror number 10 telling NBC, Hunter's powerful family played no role in their decision-making process. He asked us to conceal his identity,” he said. Nobles’ interview with him also had the camera pointed at the back of Juror 10’s head and took the added step of blurring his form. It would be bizarre for Juror 10 to give ABC permission to show his face but deny it for the others. It seems as though ABC may not have disclosed that protecting his identity was an option.

Bionca Ellis, 32, was just charged with the aggravated murder of three-year-old Julian Wood after allegedly stabbing him to death in the parking lot of the North Olmsted Giant Eagle store in Cleveland, Ohio. When Ellis’ charges were being read she had a menacing grin on her face. Little Julian and his mother, Margot Wood were headed back to their vehicle last week after going grocery shopping when Ellis allegedly ran up to them with a knife that she’d just stolen from a thrift store. Both individuals were stabbed in what appears to be a random act of violence as reports indicate the suspect and victims hadn’t had any prior interaction. Police responded to multiple 911 calls regarding the incident, but unfortunately, it was too late. Ms. Wood was injured, but her son, at just three-years-old, died at a local hospital after he was stabbed twice.  Ellis was charged with murder and attempted murder by a Cuyahoga County grand jury. The jury also indicted Ellis on aggravated murder, endangering children, tampering with evidence, aggravated theft and two counts of felonious assault. What’s really jarring, other than the fact that this lady is suspected of stabbing a three-year-old child, is that when the charges were being read, Ellis had a grin on her face. As a matter of fact, she looked directly at the camera and gave it a little smile and eyebrow raise. Ellis looked completely unfazed at what was happening. Ellis even looked like she let out a little chuckle or laugh a few times. ❗??? - Bionca Ellis appeared in court with an evil smile as she was charged with the murder of 3-year-old Julian Wood. Ellis is accused of ambushing the child and his mother, Margot Wood, in a parking lot, stabbing Julian to death and seriously injuring Margot, who is… pic.twitter.com/Ebeaf6XwUO — ??The Informant (@theinformant_x) June 10, 2024 The judge, after reading the indictment, asked Ellis if she wished to enter a plea of not-guilty. “Si,” Ellis replied confidently before the judge asked her to clarify whether she meant yes or no. “Yes,” Ellis said while starting to smile again. Moments later, Mr. Wood entered the room and noted that “one week ago, she [Ellis] took everything from us.” He added that nothing could “ever replace” his sweet son, Julian. Mr. Wood pleaded with the judge, “just do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars.”  He looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown, as any man who just lost his son, and almost lost his wife, would be. The bond was set for $5 million, which is $4 million more than it was initially set at on Friday before Julian passed away, the judge said in a video detailing the events. Mr. Wood was right. If it’s true that Ellis killed innocent Julian, she is a monster.

Professional boxer Tristan Hamm said that he carried his dog about 12 miles to safety after the animal was attacked by a mountain goat.Hamm, a former pipeline worker and outdoorsman, recently transitioned into professional boxing and has made two high-profile appearances in the ring. His last fight came against former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell in Houston, Texas.The influencer nicknamed "Mr. Adventure" said he was in the middle of a hike on a foot mountain when his dog was attacked by a mountain goat. He noted that the mountain was 12,000 feet high."My dog was attacked by a mountain goat at the top of a 12k foot mountain," Hamm wrote on X.Hamm then revealed that he picked up the dog and put him on his back before running 12 miles down to the safety of his truck where he tended to the animal's wounds."Had to run him down 12 miles back to the truck on my back. Was able to stop the bleeding and staple him shut. He's in good hands and spirits."'A warning for people who hike with their dogs to get in shape.'Attached photos then showed the dog with a gaping wound, likely from the gore of the goat. Subsequent pictures showed the wound stapled shut and the thankful dog with bandages over his injury.Hamm later showed more photos with the dog pictured helping share the load as he carried equipment up to a mountain's summit.An anonymous account criticized Hamm for taking photos:"Bros dog got attacked and bro took pics of it for his Twitter," the person wrote.The hiker rejected the assertion and said that his story should serve as a warning to any hikers who travel with animals."Naw, more like a warning for people who hike with their dogs to get in shape so they can save their dog if they have to," Hamm responded.Hamm started working on oil pipelines when he was 16 years old, which he said provided him with a solid work ethic while maturing him beyond his years. The boxer also previously told Blaze News that once he started gaining notoriety for his travel videos, he became concerned about places he visited being left in despair after others traveled to the same location."I started noticing that when I would go back to certain places I had traveled to, they didn't look like how they were before. So, I've encouraged people to, if they are producing traveling or outdoor content, not reveal or geo-tag their location."Hamm has done his best to promote conservation wherever in his travels and has continued to take precautions and limit identifying factors whenever posting a video.Like Blaze News?

Former acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News on Tuesday that the department has “no idea” how many terrorists are illegally entering the country.During an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Wolf discussed a recent report that revealed eight illegal immigrants with possible ties to ISIS terror groups were apprehended as part of a sting operation. The individuals, reportedly from Tajikistan, were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and are awaiting removal proceedings.'Politically motivated and DISINGENOUS.'“These are the individuals that we actually apprehended. These are folks that Border Patrol saw,” Wolf told Ingraham. He noted the estimated “2 million gotaways” that were not apprehended by law enforcement agents at the border. “How many Tajikistan folks are in those 2 million gotaways? We have no idea. The department has no idea because their strategy along that border is a complete and utter failure,” Wolf added.“They know the countries of concern. They know countries that are not sharing information,” he continued. “So you have no idea, even if you encounter foreign nationals from those countries, you can’t vet them because they’re not sharing information. We have nothing to base an assessment on. So they know that. They’ve known that for some time, and the fact that they continue to exempt these individuals and allow folks to come into the country, you are not returning them. This is why you need a different border strategy.”Wolf stated that the Biden administration needs to “prevent people from coming in.”“Those that do come in, you need to both vet them but also detain them during their immigration court proceedings. And none of that is occurring today,” he told Ingraham.Border Patrol agents in the San Diego sector were recently instructed to release illegal aliens from most Eastern Hemisphere countries into the interior of the United States, according to an internal memo first obtained by the Washington Examiner. The communication told law enforcement agents to issue Notice to Appear documents to single adults from more than 100 “hard or very hard to remove countries.”The instruction came just days after President Joe Biden released an executive order that the administration claims will crack down on the influx of illegal immigrants.During a recent interview with Fox News, Wolf stated Biden’s order has “very little teeth” in the San Diego sector.“It’s clear Biden LIED to the American people and Border Patrol agents when he claimed he didn’t have the authority to take Executive Action on the border. Clearly, he does,” Wolf wrote in a post on X. “This announcement is politically motivated and DISINGENOUS. After taking almost no action in 3.5 years, Biden finds himself with little to no support for his border policies from the American people.”Like Blaze News?
