Thank you everybody for being here tonight. It’s good to be back on the show. Uh, got a lot to talk about. There’s always so much happening in the age of transitions. Hard to keep up with everything. We’re not going to be able to, but we’re going to try our best and do what we can do. Do the little bit that we’re able to do. And uh, that’s what’s happening here tonight. So, everything looks good. Let me do just check. Yeah, the stream is good. So, we’re streaming out on the YouTube channel, too. So, the um I guess it’s the Aaron Fronn’s YouTube channel. Kind of a lame name, but that’s it. Uh it’s going out live on there. I’m just Yeah. Yeah. We’re good. We’re good. We’re live with uh the Age of Transitions here. So, that’s exciting. It has been fun to have the um YouTube up and I do have some wonderful visuals. For instance, check this out. Everybody who’s on the YouTube, look at this. See that graphic I made? So proud of myself. It says, “You’re fired.” And it has a picture of strong man, the president, and one of his sponsors, Peter Teal. And if you can’t tell, maybe I didn’t make the graphic too well, so it doesn’t read quite right. I I hope that it does read correctly, but if if it’s working, what you’re supposed to see this as is Peter Teal telling Donald Trump that he’s fired. fired from the job of president of the United States. He’s he’s done. They don’t need him anymore. He’s done his job. He’s done what he was supposed to do and he’s become more trouble than he’s worth. So, sorry. Uh don’t let the door hit you on the way out is apparently what’s happening. I mean, I’m I’m not the only one thinking this, right? I mean, we’re all seeing this happen in real time. So, at this point, it’s not even hardly the realm of prediction here that we’re talking about. It’s just a foregone conclusion. It’s like how how many uh days, hours, minutes does this guy have left in there. Um because he is not he’s been misbehaving and he’s uh fallen out of favor with oh so many of his former buddies, his good friends, like with friends like these, right? Is what they say. But, uh, you know, that’s the company you keep when you’re, um, part of MAGA, the MAGA movement. Um, bunch of, uh, charlatans and liars promoting the whole thing. A bunch of conmen, uh, glorified conmen at the top leading the way or supposedly leading, misleading, as Jordan Maxwell used to like say, like to say. That’s a classic, not leading but misleading. But yeah, I you’ve you’ve heard all the talk. You’ve heard the talk in the manosphere, the Rogan sphere, the magosphere, all these spheres, this different spheres of media influence that put this idiot into place to begin with. And yes, don’t get it wrong. Don’t don’t take the power away that they actually have, which is unfortunately true. that alternative media system, which isn’t really alternative all at all, but they like to still pretend that they are. They they put this in place. They sold this. They were the salesmen who put this ridiculous nonsense into place that we’re living out now. Now, is there much of an alternative? There really wasn’t an alternative. So, I mean, what were we, the regular person, supposed to do about it? I don’t know. I don’t have a good answer to that. Don’t expect me to. But here we are. And it was going to be so great. It was going to be so wonderful. We’re going to make it great again. It was going to be like Pizza Hut. And we’re going to be making it great. Things haven’t quite worked out the way that they were sold, have they? But um you know, count me not surprised and anybody with any sense could have seen uh not every detail of what has happened coming. But the general truth that this was going to be a nightmare no matter which way you slice it was just self-evident. Again, if to anybody with the capacity for independent thought, which you’re not supposed to have, you’re just supposed to listen to these voices tell you what to think, what to believe, and that works real good for the system. Uh, it always has. And the system at present is one that’s brought to us in so many ways by high technology. And technology, the new technologies of internet and whatnot are what give us our communications these days and is what feeds us all of our uh tailored especially uniquely tailored propaganda. propaganda is advancing and we’re all more propagandized than ever and that’s once again what brought us here. But anyway, back to the main point. You fire it. Of course, that hasn’t actually happened yet, but we’re we’re coming up to the point where that’s seeming like that’s the way things are going. So, uh the manosphere, the alt media, they’re done with them. And as I was saying, this group, this group, uh, which I’ll let strongman himself name the group, uh, so that I I don’t get blamed for naming these fools. But, um, let’s see here. He had a truth social post. And here it is. I have an image of it over here. It looks like a chapter of a book. It’s so long, right? Not I can’t imagine he’s read too many chapters of books, but he he wrote this thing that looks like it could be one a demented book, but uh whatever. So his truth post where he goes about naming uh Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. And he’s off on this tirade about they’re a bunch of low IQ morons that nobody even listens to anyway. They got bad ratings. Nobody cares about them. They’ve always been hacks. Uh, Alex Jones is broke. You know, his typical go-to style of just insult whoever is coming at you with any kind of criticism at all. Somebody critiques you. There is such a thing as constructive criticism, by the way. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but this is a guy who can’t handle that. Um, but be that as it may, um, one moment. Hold on. Okay, I’m good. I’m still good. My computer is about to die. I’m good. But anyway, the crit criticism uh Okay. Yes, I believe we’re good, right? I think everything uh Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Am I Am I still coming through? Okay. Okay. Cool. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. No, everything’s good. It’s just my computer is about to run out of battery. So, in order to keep that from happening, No, it’s it’s not. It’s not. I It’s I just had to um plug something in. So, it’s fine. So, we’re good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I I work off of the I work off of my laptop and uh so it does have a battery and usually I have it plugged in, but I had forgotten to plug it in and I got the little warning. You’re just like, “You’re low on battery.” So I I just rushed and it’s it’s good now. It’s all plugged in. Everything’s fine. We’re good. So Uh-huh. Mhm. Yeah, he’s Yeah. Uh yeah, he things are getting weirder and weirder with that guy. And yeah, he’s getting more fast and loose with his uh talk when he’s on these shows. And lots of times he’s just straight up drunk on these shows. And so when he is he I mean he probably was drunk. I think most of the day he probably is. It’s just to what degree, you know, what’s his blood alcohol content at the moment? You know what I mean? So Oh god. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I No, I missed that one. I I don’t The fact that Yeah, I missed that one. There’s so many. I I don’t keep up with them. I don’t. There’s too much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There’s I mean he’s he’s said lots there’s lots of weird like suppressed sexual weirdness that he’s uh talking that seems like something he’s doing more and more of these days too. But you know like what’s I mean who’s surprised? Nobody should be, but they probably are. I don’t know how he’s even still around. And that’s the question that we always need to ask. How is this guy still around? And yeah, I mean, once again, like him and his whole crew, this whole crew that now Mr. leader is all upset at the the point. The point to me is they’re trying to shift gears and now they’re pretending like they’re disowning this guy. This guy being Donald Trump, the guy that they sold to us. It’s because of them that anybody even believes this is a good idea to begin with. all these like once again like the Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and the list goes on really. I mean, it’s it’s it’s a long list of the same crowd, but that’s who, you know, the leader was singling out in his truth social post, but the Yeah. Well, yeah. yeah. Mhm. Mhm. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Well, that’s the whole point, Chuck, is they’re doing this and it’s it’s rid it’s unconscionable. the fact that they’re going to do this and they’re just going to shift gears and they’ll somehow they’ll get away with it and people will keep listening to them as and they’ll just forget about this. That’s what they’re banking on that you the audience will do. And what I’m saying is please for God’s sake know hold these people accountable for what they did. Don’t let them slip away. They’re just going to keep doing this and doing this and it’s going to be the next thing and then to get attention again, they’ll have some stupid little fit on air where they’re yelling at each other and they’re like making some racial thing about it’s all it’s all good for them. They get more attention. So like all of this is just one big show. One big show. Just keep watching. Just keep and and somehow take it seriously. They are not to be taken seriously. They should not be. They that they’re well I mean they should they should be but in a different way. They should be taken seriously as the freaking plants and dangers that they are because they are being put out there to put to give particular messages. They are propagandists. They are the new propagandists. They are what works now in our deranged online society. This is what works. It’s been determined by the analytics what gets viewers attention, what retains them, what gets them engaged, and it’s this crap. And so this is what we get, you know? So it’s no longer like the anchor on the news network. It’s this. So this is what works. This is what gets used. It’s time to realize that and actually call it out. It’d be nice to see people just call it out, plain and simple, and be like, “Look, this is what’s going on. we need to just, you know, somehow just not pay attention to it at all. Stop it. And there’s also this other tactic that annoys the hell out of me is that the people that aren’t even the commentators themselves or maybe lesser ones or people somehow in that world that are like lesser people, they will always defend this group whether it’s Owens, Jones, Carlson, any of them, you name one of them that we should rightfully be after and pointing like look this guy’s but full of it. What these people will do to defend them is like somehow act as if an attack on them is an attack on this greater movement of truth or red pilling or MAGA or making America reviving you know whatever it’s an attack on that if you go after these media figures which are nothing but trouble it’s a Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Well, I believe that’s mentioned I’m believe that’s mentioned in this truth post, Chuck, is that actually comes up in there and how it’s a bunch of BS and our dear leader is calling her out on that. So he’s doing right by that once again agreeing with him right on something. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Clear. And and once again, it or it should be mentioned that that anger on his part is for real. Like he’s not that’s not a put on. He for real is mad at these people because they are turning on him. For real. It’s a real turning. And it’s seemingly unprecedented because as we’re saying, Chuck and I, these were the ride or die people that are now just me. They’re completely turning because they have no loyalty. They have no ethics. They have no They don’t care about anything other than putting themselves out there and staying in the position that they are, which is the position of a propagandist. That’s not what they’re going to tell you they are. They’re going to tell you they’re truth tellers, but they’re not. And that’s the end of that. And I’m I’m sick of these tactics of people like making excuses for him. No, they need to be held to account. I seems like they never are, but you know, be that as it may. So, the truth post against uh Carlson, Kelly, Owens, Jones, um an interesting quote from that, and let me pull up my graphic once again. Okay, there’s the whole post that we can see in that wonderful book chapter. So, but a quote from there, Trump is saying about these characters from the whatever alt media, he’s saying their views are the opposite of MAGA or I wouldn’t have won the president presidential election in a landslide. Now, Trump is doing a weird thing there where I think he means views actually in two different senses at the same time. But even more than like their views as in the things they believe, which they don’t have any, but you know, they pretend to have views. He’s saying their views are the opposite of mega. I think what he’s actually saying is the views in terms of like, you know, videos on YouTube, views, uh, clicks on in the media ecosystem that they live on. the these people live on views and on downloads and things like that. So if you go and you read it, it actually seems like that’s what he’s referring to is like they’re like losing all the they don’t get any viewership, etc. So their views are the opposite of MAGA, which of course in his mind he always gets the best ratings, right? So that’s kind of a weird thing I pulled out of there. Um, but he also means views in the other sense too, which is strange, but you know, he has a bit of the dementia, so who knows what’s going on there. But anyway, uh, yeah, zero ethics, no loyalty, no values. Um, this is Trump doing his typical insult tactic that for so long, I mean, he’s ridden this uh thing, this train that he’s built. It took him so far. I mean, two terms in the presidency he’s been able to pull off with his style, which is again this he go to he getting critiqued. Are we just insult the the criticizer? And that’s all you have to do. You don’t have to address the criticism. Just insult the person um dealing it out. And that’s what he’s doing here. But I think I think we’ve reached a point where it’s just the the act is falling flat finally because the audience that used to buy into that and used to you know pretend they used to say of him like oh I like him because he tells the truth. This was him telling the truth is him just insulting people essentially. But that audience was built by this group that Trump is now mad at. The audience was built by them. Okay? And they are presumably listening to these media figures. And once again, the people behind the media figures and the reasons why they’re in lock step going against their once guy who could do no wrong. You have to ask the question, why are they now doing this? the war. Okay, that’s one thing, but it’s a confluence of things. And the fact that they’re all in unison actually criticizing him is telling me that the real powers behind this whole MAGA nonsense, which is the big money, the big tech interests right here. Oh, let’s pull up the graphic. Yeah, that guy and his colleagues of Silicon Valley, the billionaires that that paid for this whole thing and that are benefiting handsomely from this uh abomination of the presidential administration. Um they’re the ones behind this and they want him gone and there’s plenty of ways to get rid of him if they need to. This brings me to the next interesting news story, which I barely even have to I think preface because everybody’s heard this. The first lady came out and did a statement uh saying how she never had anything to do with Epstein. I don’t have anything to do with it. Like, so Melania came out and and did that. Okay. So, here’s a story from AP. Uh what’s the date? Is it today or yesterday? No, it’s today’s date. This happened today or this story is from today on the AP. Uh headline, Melania Trump denied ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The question remains, why now? Well, we’re answering that in this episode. Uh I’ll just read the first paragraph. First Lady Melania Trump’s seemingly out of the blue statement Thursday, denying affiliation with disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein left people still wondering Friday what pro what prompted the public declaration at a time when the case had receded from the spotlight. It had receded, but all of a sudden it’s thrust back out there. So there’s been this eb and flow of protecting the head honcho there, right? who’s clearly a part of the whole story. We know that. We’re not idiots. We know his connections to it. So, she’s coming out saying, “Hey, look, I don’t have anything to do with it.” And it’s all part of the same story. It’s like, “Look, we got you, dude. If if it’s when we want you gone, you’re going to be gone. All right?” And once again, he’s demented and he’s flailing around thinking he’s still in charge. He’s out of his damn mind. and he’s an old man. He barely knows where he is, I would think. But anyway, they’re done with him. He’s more trouble than he’s worth. So, all these things are adding up to the same thing. I’ve also noticed that JD Vance is getting a lot of airtime in, you know, just random news stories. You’ll see images of him. you’ll hear him quoted as to like what his opinion on the war or whatever the current event may be. He’s getting a lot of uh press time lately and a lot of camera time too. They want us to see him a lot. And of course, Vance is their guy. Once again, they being the actual powers in charge that have uh bought bought up our country and are now running the whole thing. Their guy has always been JD Vance. And you better believe they wish that he was the president. They wished that he was the president even like going into this thing, but they couldn’t do that. They made him vice president. That was their doing. They want him just in there now. And so, yeah, more FaceTime, more media time. He’s getting that. I’m noticing that. Um, the Iran war is a total disaster. And we’re getting just once again what worked in the past for strongman the Donald used to be able to just rifle off whatever what he was thinking any moment and he’d constantly contradict himself. No coherence whatever. No coherent message or plan ever. Now he’s always been that way. But now all of a sudden that’s really coming back and that’s really being highlighted across media. It’s like, “Oh, look. Did you see him uh contradict himself?” And you see, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. This guy doesn’t have what it takes to to get the Iran war done. And so, just it not that there hasn’t been criticism in media of this guy the whole time, but uh I I don’t know. These are just uh these are are things that are happening. Here’s here’s another um here’s another story that I think fits into the whole picture. This is from the American Conservative.com dated April 8th. So this is a fresh one too. I got this uh link from JP Satili as usual. News vandal rundown. Uh title of article no4D chess war with Iran helps China. Okay. So, and this they’re uh I’ll read the first paragraph. Pro-war MAGA commentators insist that every move President Donald Trump makes is a strategic master stroke. The war with Iran is no exception. What appears to be Middle Eastern quagmire in the making is not a blunder at all. Instead, this war is really about China. Another oil shock and nothing to worry about. It is really leverage against Trump’s main rival. Okay, so this is an interesting article because what they’re saying is they’re pointing the finger at the mega commentators as I was at the beginning and they’re saying that they’re defending Trump still. And I’m sure there still are a few. But what I’m saying is actually even the old supporters are gone. And so these guys who have been detractors of Trump for longer are kind of going under the assumption that the magosphere is still in lock step. and they’re not, which is interesting. So, this is kind of a weird um instance of we can see that these two sides of the weird conservative world that appear uh that they’ve been antagonistic with themselves before now are actually in lock step to the extent where they don’t even recognize that they are. I mean, I think that they’re going to sooner or later, but that’s kind of interesting. And I think there is truth in this article is that the Iran war, nothing about this war helped America, right? Nothing. And and that’s just obvious and everybody knows it. Um, and they’re saying this and they’re pointing out that it helps China out. And I actually agree with that point and I agree with the larger point that um our international our the United States of America I use that term loosely. I’m just talking about the country of America I should say the country of America’s international rivals. First of all we should say there are such things. There are international rivals. That’s a real actual reality in in the world. That’s not fake. That’s not a put on. It’s not a conspiracy fakery or whatever. The large countries like America, China, Russia, they are not buddy buddy. They are in competition with one another. And you had better believe that uh the antagonistic countries to the US are thrilled with any blunders that the United States makes. That includes having an idiot leader in charge right now. To me, to my mind, um call me crazy. Uh, and call me a real I I know that I’m a total heretic for saying this because you’re not allowed to say this in any any sort of alternative anything alternative media. If we’re doing right-wing commentary, if we’re doing left-wing commentary, if we’re going against the establishment, if we’re going against the American Empire, if we’re going against the libs, if we’re, you know, whatever we’re doing, if we’re doing it in some sort of way that’s challenging the establishment as we view it, what we’re not supposed to do is believe that foreign propaganda operations are being deployed on us and that they have worked. We’re not supposed to believe that. Why? because oh, if if you’re on the left side of the equation, the American Empire is the only one that does that kind of evil thing. There’s no other evil governments in the world that would even think about doing that. I guess I’m I’m still trying to figure out their logic on this. Um, but it’s really really I’m trying not to curse annoying is what it is. I’m sick of it. Is that you’re not allowed to say, “Oh, yeah, you know, China, yeah, of course they have influence operations. are running against us. Russia, yes. Yes, of course they have for years had influence operations against us. And guess what? Here’s the shocker. They’ve worked. It’s worked against us. And by us, I’m not just talking about America as like this uh broad uh political geopolitical organism that excludes like the population. No, I’m talking about the domestic population. That’s what these things are aimed at. We live in the global propaganda matrix and it’s hitting us from every single direction. It’s coming from everywhere. It’s coming from Yes. tech uh the tech industry, Silicon Valley, they have their own propaganda and they have their own reasons for supporting this current presidential administration which they absolutely are sponsors and have been of and they stand they are benefiting from it. So they have their um uh motives in promoting all that is MAGA and they have and they continue to do it and they continue to have ownership of it from within the United States but from without there’s other interests there’s other motives for other uh international interests to also promote the same thing MAGA and that would be to my mind the main thing for putting this whole thing into place to making any propaganda that would support this in any way that’s very broad and I guarantee I I know it’s happened. It’s just there’s like countless um examples that we won’t get into. Forgive me for being vague, but the main reason for supporting MAGA as a political adversary, a geopolitical adversary of the US is to degrade the country from within, to destroy it, to weaken it, to divide the population amongst each other, commit uh any kind of domestic quarrels or domestic unrest is a good thing for these adversarial nations because it weakens us, it distracts us, it makes us less able to uh be effective uh geopolitically against whatever their interests are in the world. Okay? And when I say that, I’m not defending the American Empire. I’m not saying all the international geopolitical moves that the United States has made over the past several decades are the correct ones. Not at all. But it’s kind of funny that the propaganda used to put things like uh you know strong man in as the leader part of the propaganda talking points were valid critiques of things like past American foreign policy. Oh, all these foreign wars that are undeclared by Congress and illegal. all of these uh the the neverending wars within the Middle East. This guy was put into place under the opaces of not ever doing that again. And look, here we are doing it again. Just seemingly out of nowhere, like on a whim. So, here we are again. It’s obvious for all to see that nothing about this makes sense. that the guy up there in charge has he doesn’t have anything. He he he obviously doesn’t believe anything. Anything he’s ever said doesn’t mean anything cuz he’ll just do whatever. Right. And once again, I’m saying that uh the things like the Russia gate and and any sorts of ideas that Russia could have even had an interest at all in influencing American elections and and swaying what politician might get in. Not supposed to talk about that. Not supposed to talk about that. It’s it’s it’s what are you? you just some sort of like normie evil person? Were you uh uh prejudice against Russians or something or like you know ethnosentric or I’m still I’m still struggling to understand what the argument even is and what the problem is with with going here. But it’s it’s a taboo that is there. Once again, something that annoys the absolute hell out of me. And I’m sorry. We have to get to a point to realize I think honestly I think part of this is narcissism. As Americans, we’re acting like whether we consciously admit this or not. Everybody’s acting as though like being propagandized is like beneath us or something. like we like we can’t even imagine it happening to us like oh of course America does it to every banana republic every uh you know little nation that we go in and do regime change on throughout our assorted history of course of course we do it to all those nations and you know it’s like okay that so so those other nations are victims but we could not be why because we’re smarter we’re better like you know it’s it almost gets into that territory to me but you know whatever I I don’t want to dwell on this too long it’s really annoying but with this in mind there’s another fascinating story once again JP Satili uh he had this in his news vandal rundown that I find very interesting um this is from what’s the website the record therecord media uh title data article April 8th and I’m a freshman title is CIA director CIA director quietly elevated agency’s cyber espionage division. I’ll read the paragraph or two. The CIA late last year raised the status of its elite cyber espionage division, providing it more resources to analyze and disrupt digital threats, as well as amp up the agency’s own technological innovation efforts. The Center for Cyber Intelligence, which had resided within the CIA’s Directorate of Digital Innovation since 2015, was promoted to a full-fledged mission center last October by director John Ratcliffe as part of an internal reorg. Uh, Ratcliffe elevated the center to strengthen the AY’s cyber operations in support of the president’s priorities. That doesn’t mean anything. But um I pulled Let’s see here. I thought I pulled a quote from this. I didn’t. I wish I would have because uh but but what’s interesting about this article is that it does go on to mention like uh our international allies because let’s remind ourselves that the CIA is an international intelligence operation. Their purview is dealing with other nations, other adversarial nations, right? Because once again, there is such a thing as an adversarial nation. So they do the intelligence work dealing with those international uh threats and whatnot. And so the issue at hand here is that not just cyber security but the entire online world which also has to do with uh dis and misinformation disinformation campaigns propaganda influence operations I guarantee is a part of this. Now, um, what’s fascinating from the first time that Strongman Maga won the presidency, I remember seeing different um different like pieces of media podcast and things where you would get from time to time people from the CIA actually commentating or making commentary and like publicly making statements And what I gathered from that is that the general consensus from within the CIA was that yes, Russia did have a part did play a part in putting Trump into office and that they sincerely believe that. Now, I’ll admit you can’t really like just take anything at face value with this group and you would be wrong to do so. But be that as it may, it seemed to me that there was like this general idea that like, yeah, the Russians got us with this. They they they put them in there and it worked. Now, there’s also a lot of internal conflict going in within all of these government agencies. We should we should realize that like nobody’s on just one page. There are internal wars even within singular like organizations like the CIA. Not everybody’s all on one page, but I do think that that was a thing that was generally believed and all the way through till now it’s kind of been a thing like well what the hell do we do about it? And things just keep getting bigger and bigger and the online information sphere has become so important that they can’t just ignore this any longer and they have to do something. Oh, and there was a quote from this article that I thought I had but I I didn’t copy paste it unfortunately. But it’s something to the effect that when our enemies do some sort of cyber anything to us like and I was um I was reading into it that they’re talking about miss and disinformation campaigns like cyber uh information warfare. when our enemies do that to us, they have to be accountable and we have an answer to that and and that we also do the same thing to them. It it read to me like they’ve been doing it to this to us for so long like we can’t just sit here anymore which I found interesting, fascinating, and again I’m evil because I’m siding with the CIA, right? Is that what is that what this sounds like? Like I’m on the side of the Central Intelligence Agency. Sorry, I’m I’m a bad man. I’m a bad guy that uh I’m trying to be a freethinker, but I guess I I went off track there because I’m doing things that a freethinker isn’t allowed to think. So, sorry. Sorry about that everybody. I’ll I’ll try to be better behaved as the show goes on here, but I probably won’t be. Um so, fascinating article. Check that one out if you get the time. Um, another interesting article that kind of uh I’m gonna throw in the mix of things here and see if we can tie this together. But this is another story from today that you probably have heard. But, uh, let me go to the link. This one’s from Reuters. This the title, let’s actually, um, date was from yesterday, April 9th. Anyway, the title Bant Powell warned bank CEOs about anthropic model risks. Sources say uh April 9th, US Treasur Treasury Secretary Scott Bassant and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with bank CEOs this week to warn of cyber risks posed by Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence model. Um, White House National Economic Adviser Kevin Hassid confirmed the meeting during an interview with Fox News. Okay. Well, anyway, the story here is that the new anthropic uh generative AI model, which would just be another like chat GPT or something, is being withheld, right? Because it’s too dangerous to just put out into the public because somebody could use it to essentially hack all sorts of stuff. It’s a cyber security risk to put this out and let just anybody use it. And so we’re at that point where the public tools, the public AI tools are now a security like a national security risk. And here fascinatingly you got Powell and Basant meeting with the CEOs of the big banks. To me, that’s that’s like I struggle for words with um the fact that this is who they’re meeting with because it just fits right into it fits into everything. And and this is how let me explain how cyber security is the big issue. It’s the security issue of our day because once again everything is digital, everything is cyber, everything’s online all the important um everything uh private information uh everything all all the most all the information about the entire populace of the world is is now digitized. And all it takes is some sort of cyber uh chicainery to do to do horrible things and to to wreak havoc economically and socially. And this story is just like it’s just laying it out there in the open. what is obvious and what has been an issue all this time now that these AI models are being put out there it’s just like hey look this is what’s going to happen almost is what they’re telling us like look be ready for these cyber uh problems to occur and yeah your bank account it’s not safe okay not in the world that we’re living in now to tie this a nice little bow on everything which isn’t nice at all it’s horrendous this, but it is what it is. I think what’s happening is that one way or another, whether it be like, you know, Epstein filed dump or um, you know, the guy slipped on a banana peel yesterday or his his wife got mad at him and slapped him, he fell over or whatever it is, whatever happens. uh the our dear leader that we just love his we’ve loved his comedy routine for so long, but he’s not long for the White House. He’s out. He’s gone. I don’t know how it’s going to happen exactly, but they seem to be hinting that they’re sick of him and and you’re fired, as they say. All right. And that’s coming from the top down, the actual oligarchs in control of our country now that themselves are a bit out of control themselves, which ought to tell you something. And that brings us back to the geopolitical thing if you think about it. But we’ll ignore that for now. They’re done with him. They won’t be rid with him. Weird of him. Their guy has always been JD Vance. Now, the thing with JD Vance, he’s a tough cell. Nobody likes him. They got to find a way to make him likable. How the hell are they going to do it? Look, everybody makes fun of him. Makes him fat with these AI generated images of him with curly hair and he’s fat and he’s dancing. Nobody’s going to get behind that. They can’t sell him to us. We’re too smart for that. We can’t be propagandized by Russia. We can’t be sold JD Vans. We’re too good. We’re too smart. American Empire is evil. Uh, you know, you know how the story goes. Guess what? You know the way that they’re going to sell this to you? They’re gonna have a cyber problem is going to occur. Maybe your bank account will disappear for a day or two. I don’t know what it is that’s going to happen, but it will be technical in nature. And guess who has a direct line to all the best technical minds out there? Well, it’s JD Vance. He knows all about technology and he’s he’s real good buddies with uh technicians, humble technicians, and I think he’s going to be put in there and the 911 style crisis that’s going to occur that we have to listen to what he says because we will be in we will be having problems and we will need some kind of fast answer to get us out of a horrible mess. They will be provided by the wonderful JD Vance and his administration at at he will be at the helm of wonderfully technologically enlightened uh new and improved upgraded version 2.0 version of MAGA which is going to keep us safe from it’ll keep us safe from China. Ironically enough it won’t but they will say that they will and hell they might even throw in Russia. They’ll keep us. They’re starting to talk about even strongman himself is talking ill about Russia these days. So, they’ll keep us safe from them, too. Why not? They’ll keep us safe from whoever else is horrible. Uh, Israel is great still, so we’ll still probably be somehow supporting them, but you know, whatever. And I think that’s the plan. I might be wrong, but this is what I’ve kind of been intuiting for a while. And it seems like I don’t know. It seems like now’s the time and they’re they’re planning on going for it from what I can tell. Now, I hope that I’m wrong, and I very well could be. And I don’t usually like doing straight out predictions because usually when you do, you end up being wrong. But I the desire to do that to dump strongman to put in their boy JD Vance as leader and to terrorize us with all things cyber. They have been doing it this whole time. They’ve been tearing us with their stupid propaganda that somehow we can’t recognize as such still. We need to change that real fast. Um, so let me see if I have any more notes on this. I that’s that’s about it. Uh, MAGA. Uh, yeah. And I mean when when you actually take the wide lens of this, what has occurred is that American empire is real. American empire has been weaponized against itself. And there are, yes, there are some domestic evil people that think that they’re they stand to gain from this. And that’s why they’re pulling the strings the way that they are. But there’s also such a thing as international rivals, and I think it’s obvious to see what they have to gain with us going down. And so I don’t know. We can you can just believe whatever you want to believe and I’ll do the same. I guess that’s what I’m doing right now, isn’t it? So I shouldn’t be a hypocrite about it. And we’ll uh we’ll just ride this thing out one way or another. There’s not a lot we can do about it. Uh but I honestly I I hope for the best and regular life can be so good and the world should be great and we should be doing so many other things than what we’re doing and it’s just an absolute travesty that we’re in the the the state that we are. And so if if get creative out there and find ways of um you know reversing this course because it’s it’s what we’re on and it’s not fair to anybody. Um the world’s not fair. It never has been. But you know it doesn’t mean that we don’t have the power to say we want it to be. We would like it to be that way. We would like justice. justice like actual justice would be good to pursue for once. Be nice to hold accountable people who have wronged us. And so, you know, the possibility is there. We just have to really want it. We have to do the hard work in our minds of strengthening our defenses and not allowing their mind games to work anymore. They’re enhanced by their little cyber capabilities and AI models are a part of that too. And we just have to say no and just uh stop falling for the same tricks for one thing. That that’s a start and that’s that’s a big ask. So if we can get that far, I think we can do some other good works. So here’s to it. Glass of water. One of the best things out there.
