Reading or posting. Most of your comments are relatable, but it is irritating when some nonsense from Q and/or some evangelical fundamentalist is woven into the fabric. What any of it has to do with climate catastrophe, weather, JJFH, the economy, or human extinction I don't know. I'll never know. <br /><br />But do keep on posting whatever you like.

Both produced massive changes in civil liberty and government power, reducing the former and enhancing the latter.<br /><br />In Florida there are no lockdowns, no mask mandates, no arrests of people for "non-compliance," and Floridians are not dropping dead in the streets. Indeed, you would not know that there was a "Covid pandemic." This indicates that the Covid pandemic is an orchestrated hoax with ulterior motives. <br /><br />In the article below, European Soren Korsgaard reports that the orchestrated "Covid pandemic" is being used throughout the Western world as an excuse for concentration camps.

The actual number, he pointed out, was 27. With that in mind, Carlson then noted he went on a search to find out where people might have gotten the disinformation about police shootings.<br /><br />“Who is lying to America,” Carlson asked, “in ways that are certain to make us hate each other and certain to destroy our core institutions?” [~ 2 min. clip]<br /><br /><br />The answer, he said, was cable news outlets like CNN and MSNBC and Democratic politicians talking on TV and spreading harmful disinformation about police shootings. He then played clips of them perpetuating false narratives that have further inflamed tensions, which some have alleged helped motivate BLM/Antifa-led agitators to riot, loot, and burn down buildings and target federal courthouses last year.

Google’s Eric Schmidt & The Artific...[Mr. Evil]<br />Google’s Eric Schmidt & The Artificial Intelligence Military-Industrial Complex<br />https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/googles-eric-schmidt-artificial-intelligence-military-industrial-complex/<br /><br />The simple fact that the AI Commission is led by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt should trouble those who care for privacy, accountability, transparency, and individual liberty. <br /><br />In late January, the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), or the AI Commission, released a draft of their upcoming report to Congress, rejecting calls to ban AI-powered autonomous weapons, characterized by critics as “killer robots”. While the AI Commission did briefly address privacy and civil liberties concerns, they ultimately called on Congress to double AI research and funding annually up to $32 billion a year by 2026. The report also failed to note clear conflicts of interest between the Commission’s Chairman, and former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt.<br /><br />The report correctly points a finger at China’s authoritarianism and AI-driven surveillance state. However, the draft also attempts to paint the U.S. as a “liberal democracy” that uses such technologies for “legitimate public purposes…. compatible with the rule of law.” The implication is that the enemies of the U.S. could use this technology for tyrannical purposes, but the U.S. and its allies would only ever use AI in the interest of preserving liberty.<br /><br />“A responsible democracy must ensure that the use of AI by the government is limited by wise restraints to comport with the rights and liberties that define a free and open society,” reads the draft. “The U.S. government should develop and field AI-enabled technologies with adequate transparency, strong oversight, and accountability to protect against misuse.”<br /><br />Taken at face value, these statements might offer a sense of reassurance. Unfortunately, we are speaking about the U.S. government and military, and these institutions do not have a history of transparency or accountability. Even more worrisome is the drafts mention of the “urgent need” to use AI for national security purposes, particularly against “foreign and domestic terrorists operating within our borders.” The draft encourages the DOD not to pursue their counter-terrorism goals without ensuring that “security applications of AI conform to core values of individual liberty and equal protection under law.” [more]<br /><br />Experts Call for Immediate Ban of Entire Class of Chemicals Damaging Babies’ Brains<br />https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ban-chemicals-damaging-babies-brains<br /><br />The authors of a new peer-reviewed article linking phthalates to long-lasting neurodevelopmental harm in fetuses, infants and children want the chemicals, found in toys, floor coverings and hundreds of other products, banned.

But is this just a temporary blip, or has the great shaking of the financial markets finally begun? Many stock market investors are very much hoping for the former, because the pain is already becoming quite severe. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 5 percent this week, and it is headed for its second consecutive weekly loss. But the bond market has actually been making even bigger news. On Thursday, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries actually exceeded 1.6% at one point, and that was the highest level that we have seen in quite a long time. Some pundits are calling what just took place a “flash crash”, but it certainly appears that yields could move even higher in the days ahead.<br /><br />Throughout the COVID pandemic, stock prices have just gone higher and higher, but everyone knew that the party would end eventually.<br /><br />Have we now reached that point?
