“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

Everyone needs to understand how much this administration and those who support them hate America as it is today. They wanted America to be a part of the globalist one world order. We dodged a bullet but the “bullets” will keep coming for the foreseeable future. Look at what the WH is now authorizing Ukraine to do! DO NOT COUNT ON A SMOOTH TRANSITION OF POWER!
In the 1960s, John and Robert Kennedy formed an unofficial advisory council called EXComM (Executive Committee of the National Security Council,) which was put together to keep peacemaking efforts siloed from the Joint Chiefs and the Intel Agencies. Unused to being kept in the dark, these administrative vultures colloquially referred to this cadre of Kennedys and childhood friends from the Boston area (including Kenneth O’Donnell,) as the ‘Irish Mafia.’ By going around the Military Industrial Complex and the news media, these men established backchannels to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in order to avoid the war the ‘invisible enemy’ in both nations were salivating over. As tensions rose, Robert famously said, “can the fu*king chiefs” as tempers flared over the war for peace. Reconcile this with Trump’s current appointments. It may not be ‘Irish,’ but we’ve got a new American Mafia forming. “We went around them like nobody’s gone around them before.” Deep State most affected.
So are we just supposed to ignore that Elon is posting Q memes? Trump’s closest advisor, and most influential man on Earth, is just casually posting Q memes. This comes after a week of him talking about the “hammer of justice”. I’m just stating facts here.

2He who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks truth from his heart; 3who does not slander with his tongue, and does no evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; 4in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 5who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Luke 19:1-10
1He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2And there was a man named Zacchae’us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich. 3And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. 4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. 5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchae’us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” 6So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. 7And when they saw it they all murmured, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8And Zacchae’us stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Be afraid neither of the world, nor of the future, nor of your weakness. The Lord has allowed you to live in this moment of history so that, by your faith, his name will continue to resound throughout the world. — Benedict XVI

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

January 6 Tapes Reminder
After the first release, we were supposed to get more, every week.
As far as I know it hasn’t happened.
Speaker Johnson, please follow through!
A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend). (Note: most media quotes are for the bid…the price paid by the market makers, not the ask, which is what they will sell at. I figure the ask is more relevant to people like us who wish we could afford to buy these things. In the case of gold the difference is usually about a dollar, for the PGMs the spread is much wider.)
There’s no sugar coating it…the precious metals except for platinum are taking a beating. (Platinum was already on sale anyway.) Silver at least didn’t take quite as much of a beating as gold. The FRNSI, when I calculated it, turned out to be 122.9996 which rounds up to 123.000, which is why it looks suspiciously “round” at the moment. (Like the time twenty years or so ago when I bought a bunch of random things, and the total at the cash register, including sales tax, was exactly $100.00. I told the cashier to get the machine checked.)
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
Neptune
We now reach the last full planet. But is it the end of the road?
History
Neptune’s discovery was a triumph of Newtonian theory.
Newton in the mid-late 1600s was pondering the forces that make the planets move, as opposed to forces we see on Earth. Apparently he saw an apple fall (it did not bonk him on the noggin), and it occurred to him that the force that made the apple fall might be the same force that makes the Moon orbit the Earth. Newton knew how far away the Moon was, he knew how much it would have to accelerate to remain in its orbit about the Earth. (If there was no acceleration, it would just go in a straight line and eventually disappear from sight from becoming too faint to see.) He also knew how far he and the apple were from the center of the Earth, and already knew how fast the apple accelerated.
He was able to determine that if the acceleration induced by gravity dropped off as the square of the distance, the number for the Moon’s distance actually matched what the Moon was doing.
Twenty years later after a lot of refining and elaboration, well…For the first time we knew that the stuff “up there” follows the same rules as the stuff “down here.” It’s not a special realm, as the ancients believed.
Newton did not discover gravity. Gravity was known to Og the caveman especially after he did a faceplant tripping over something while chasing game, nor was Og the first to notice it. What Newton did do was to show that gravity is universal, it applies everywhere not just here on Earth. And he was able to write equations that described it quite accurately.
Newton, during those 20 years, had gone on to prove that such a force would cause things to orbit other things in ellipses…which matched what we already knew; Johannes Kepler had in the early 1600s proved with meticulously collected data spanning decades and years of his own skull sweat that the orbits of the planets around the Sun (and the Moon around the Earth) were ellipses. Newton also was able to show that Kepler’s other two laws of planetary motion applied. Better, one could apply his laws to the Galilean moons (as well as Titan orbiting Saturn) and show that they, too followed Newtonian mechanics and gravity.
Over the next decades astronomers refined their data on the planets and had more and more accurate data to “plug into” their equations and predicting where planets and the Moon would be became an exact science; instead of being off by five degrees (the width of you three big fingers (not the thumb and not the pinky) held at arms length), we were much less than half a degree.
Then Uranus was discovered in 1781, and that was one more thing to track on top of the other planets, known moons of planets, and so on. (Starting in 1650, we discovered binary stars orbiting each other and could track them too.) Alexis Bouvard published tables of Uranus’s ephemerides (predictions of future predctions) in 1821.
Except there was a problem, one which became apparent over the next few decades (it takes a long time, when the planet has an 84 year orbital period or “year”). Uranus was being an ass…not behaving. It was traveling too fast for a while…then too slow.
Was Newton wrong after all? In spite of his stuff having worked so well for over a century?
Bouvard didn’t think so. He speculated that some unknown body was perturbing Uranus’s orbit, pulling on it and either making it speed up or slow down, depending on where it was in relation to Uranus. In 1843 John Couch Adams began trying to figure out where this unknown body was, and by 1845-6 had generated several predictions; he was continually refining them because his method was iterative. He’d guess, run the numbers, adjust his guess, and repeat. Then repeat again.
But Adams had competition; Urbain Le Verrier was also working on the problem. He came up with similar answers. The Astronomer Royal of England, Sir George Airy, persuaded James Challis to actually look through a telescope and try to find the planet. Challis tried through August and September 1846, and failed. (However he realized much later that he had actually seen it a couple of times in July and August 1845 (a year before his search) and not recognized it for what it was, because he had poor observing techniques and old star charts. D’oh!)
Le Verrier wasn’t going to wait on the Brits to get their act together; he wrote to Johan Gottfried Galle in Berlin, and asked him to look. Galle received the lettter on the 23rd of September, 1846. Heinrich d’Arrest, a student at the observatory, pointed out that they had just made a chart of that part of the sky recently. So all Galle had to do was point his telescope and look for something that wasn’t on the chart. That would be a moving object…a planet. Galle looked that evening with a nine inch refractor telescope (one with lenses at both ends of the tube), and found it almost immediately, less than a degree away from where Le Verrier had said it would be, and twelve degrees away from Adam’s prediction. However…the old chart could just be missing the object by mistake. Galle looked at the object over the next few days and satisfied himself that it wasn’t a mistake. It was indeed a moving object.
Another planet had been found!
Newton in trouble? No way! This was actually a triumph for Newtonian mechanics because it had been used to find a planet!
(As a footnote…Galileo saw Neptune, diagrammed its position in his notes, not once but twice when it was near Jupiter on 28 December 1612 and 27 January 1613 [both dates New Style] but didn’t realize it was a moving object. So, although interesting, it isn’t enough to give him credit for the discovery. However, “In 2009, a study suggested that Galileo was at least aware that the “star” he had observed had moved relative to fixed stars.” [From Wikipedia])
Voyager 2, 25 August 1989
This is a collection of official NASA animations depicting the sole spacecraft encounter (so far) with Neptune. These videos were made before the encounter, so Neptune’s and Triton’s appearances are just guesses. They also show the rings as arcs, because that’s what they thought back then (it turns out that they’re full rings, with some thicker sections we mistook for partial arcs).
Basic Info
For a while, it was simply called “the planet exterior to Uranus” or “Le Verrier’s Planet”. Galle suggested calling it Janus, which fortunately didn’t happen or it would be confused with the Hugh Janus of the solar system. Le Verrier said, since he had discovered it, he should be able to name it and he suggested “Neptune.” And that’s the name that ultimately “stuck.” The planet had a bluish tinge and Neptune was the Roman god of the sea (corresponding to the Greek Poseidon).
Neptune orbits the Sun in 164.8 years, almost twice as long as Uranus (84.02 years). Its average distance from the sun is 30.07 AUs (30.07 times as much as Earth’s average disance). That puts it at 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun. That means that radio signals to and from Voyager 2 took over four hours each way!
Here it is in true color, with the Earth photoshopped in for comparison.
It’s roughly the same size as Uranus…just a bit smaller, but it is considerably denser than Uranus and notably more massive (Uranus is 14.536 times the mass of the Earth, Neptune is 17.147 times.)
Neptune rotates in 16 hours, 6 minutes; that’s its day. Its axis is tilted 28.2 degrees, a bit more than Earth’s but not ridiculous like with Uranus or Venus. The temperature is 55-72 Kelvins (-218 to -201 C) depending on how deep into the atmosphere you measure it. The latter number is measured where the atmospheric pressure is the same as Earth’s at sea level. The atmosphere consists of 80 percent hydrogen, 19 percent helium and 1.5 percent methane by volume, with traces of ethane, ammonia, water ice, and ammonium hydrosulfide. The methane gives Neptune its bluish tinge.
Innards
Deeper down the methane, ammonia and water ices become more prevalent, earning Neptune its place among the ice giants. One thing I just spotted is the speculation that at a depth of 7000km, methane might decompose with the carbon forming diamond crystals that rain downwards like hailstones; this would be true on Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus as well.
Whoops, spoiler…Rings.
You’re probably used to seeing this picture of Neptune:
But if you scroll back to the earlier picture, it’s the same picture of Neptune, just rendered in different colors. This one exaggerated the colors for contrast, and in it you can see the “Great Dark Spot” which means I can now segue to discussing the weather.
Weather
The “Great Dark Spot” is similar to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. It’s 13,000km x 6,600 km or so…which means that measured the long way it’s slightly broader than Earth! However, it wasn’t nearly as permanent as the Red Spot. By the time Hubble looked at Neptune eight years later in 1994, it was gone. But a new dark spot had appeared in Neptune’s northern hemisphere.
The white smudge is called “Scooter” because it moved more rapidly than the Great Dark Spot
Neptune has the most extreme winds in the solar system…at least, as far as we can tell. The prevailing winds on the equator are 400 m/s, dropping to a “mere” 250 m/s at the poles. In the storms the velocity can reach 600 m/s. That’s roughly 2,200 kph or 1,300 mph, well over the speed of sound. This is a stark contrast to Uranus, which had no obvious storms when Voyager 2 flew by. The concentration of methane, ethane, and acetylene at the equator is 100 times that at the poles, so it seems that at the equator the atmosphere is upwelling, bringing that stuff from down deeper where it is more common. It subsides near the poles.
Neptune, like Uranus, has a multi pole magnetic field, indicating its dynamo is probably in a relatively thin layer of the planet–much as is thought with Uranus.
Rings
Neptune has rings, but not very substantial ones. In this case it’s likely to be tiny ice particles coated with carbon-based material. And here, we came up with cool names: the most important rings are named Adams, Le Verrier, and Galle. The best way to view them is in infrared..and well guess what we just put up there that sees really, really well in infrared?
None other than the James Webb Space Telescope, of course!
Before the Voyager 2 encounter, we thought the rings were partial arcs rather than full circles; we eventually figured out those arcs were actually thicker parts of full rings.
And what a nice segue into the moons, since we can see some of them here.
Moons
You might expect the same progression of small, inner moons, nice and regular in circular orbits, then major moons (either large and planetary sized, or medium or medium-small but still round, or a mix), also in nice tidy regular orbits, then irregular satellites, that we saw with Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Surely with a pattern like this three times running, we can expect more of the same here?
You might expect it, but that ain’t what you’re gonna get!
Neptune has 16 known moons, with a naming theme of water deities and one water critter out of Greek mythology.
First we have seven small regular satellites…in other words, inner moons. Some of them orbit among Neptune’s rings, as seen in the JWST photo above. Five of them were discovered by Voyager 2 in 1989, and of course the best photos we have of any of them are from that spacecraft, the only one ever to visit Neptune. Larissa was actually discovered in 1981, while Hippocamp was first spotted in 2013.
The largest of these is Proteus, with a diameter of 420 km. That puts it in the same size range as Mimas and Miranda, those smallest round moons, but it’s not round! It’s more like Hyperion in that regard, but unlike Hyperion, it’s not a gigantic sponge.
A craptastic picture like this is the best we can do when only Voyager 2 ever got close to it. Proteus, 420 km or so in diameter, orbiting at 117,646 km in 1.12 (Earth) days.
It is remarkable Proteus was discovered well after Larissa (which is much smaller) and Nereid, which is also smaller and has been known for decades–we’ll get to that.
So far so good, right? Inner moons.
Next should be large, planetary-sized moons and/or medium moons, all nice and regular.
Well, we do get a large moon. But it’s not regular. Not even close!
Triton is 2,705 km (give or take about 5 km) orbiting at 352,759 km in 5.87 days. It’s in a nice circular equatorial orbit…but it’s not in Neptune’s equatorial plane; it’s inclined at 23 degrees. Well, no, actually, it’s inclined at 157 degrees. Yes, it’s retrograde.
Triton’s orbit in red, compared to a “normal” moon’s orbit in green. Note the opposite directions of motion.
What the Biden is going on here? We’ll come back to that. And we’ll hit Triton in more detail shortly. Meanwhile, I’ll point out that it was discovered weeks after Neptune itself, by the English astronomer William Lassell.
A black and white picture of Triton–it’s actually a mosaic pieced together from smaller pictures. Triton looks a lot like a cantaloupe in places.
Next out is Nereid, discovered in 1949 by Gerard Peter Kuiper (you may recall I warned you that you’d be seeing his name again! And I wasn’t thinking about this when I said so). Nereid is 357 km across (give or take 13 km), and another non-round, but medium small moon. And now we see the suckage we have to deal with when only one spacecraft has ever spent any time at all near Neptune, and that only a few hours. Here is our absolute best picture of Nereid (out of 83 that Voyager took):
Nereid is another one of those “medium small” moons that didn’t quite become rounded. It got discovered before Proteus (which is larger) because it has a high albedo, reflecting most of the light that hit it.
And Nereid’s orbit is wacky. Its average distance from Neptune is 5,513,900 km–a huge jump up from Triton (it takes 360 days to orbit Neptune). But it’s at a relatively sane inclination of 5 degrees…very small for an irregular moon. But here’s the big surprise: the eccentricity is a whopping 0.75! That’s extremely elliptical. Its closest approach to Neptune is 1,381,500 km and its furthest distance is 9,626,500 km.
Next out is Halimede, about 62 km across, at 16,590,500 km, orbiting in 1879 days (almost five years), it’s retrograde and has an eccentricity of 0.521. It looks like it’s made out of the same stuff as Nereid, and there’s a 41 percent chance that at sometime in the past, it actually collided with Nereid. Or rather, that it broke off of Nereid (when you “run that tape backwards” that looks like a collision).
There are then two groups of three, the Sao group (inclined 36-50 degrees) and the Neso group (inclined 127-135 degrees), all of them 25-60km in diameter.
Halimede on out are clearly outer, irregular moons so here at least the usual pattern fits.
OK, we’ve got some crazy stuff going on here.
Triton
There are seven “large” or “planetary sized” moons in our Solar System (the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton) and Triton is the smallest of them. It’s the only moon in the Solar System with a diameter in the 2,000-3,000 km range. Even so, it’s larger than all of the smaller moons in the Solar System, put together.
Before Voyager 2 flew by, we knew very little about Triton; Kuiper tried to measure its diameter in 1954 (well over a century after its discovery) and got 3,800 km. Others got values anywhere from 2500 to 6000km; that last is almost half the diameter of Earth and would have made Triton the largest moon in the solar system, beating out even Ganymede. The answer turned out to be 2706 km as measured by Voyager 2 on August 25, 1989.
Triton has a density of about 2 grams per cubic centimeter, which indicates that unlike many moons of the outer solar system, it’s more rock than ice. Its surface temperature is 38 K (-235C), slightly colder than Hitlary Klinton’s lap.
In the 1990s an atmosphere was detected (by watching stars fade as Triton passed in front of them). This is a very thin atmosphere, 0.02 millibar at most (Earth’s atmosphere is close to 1013 millibars). Nonetheless, clouds were photographed by Voyager (look at the horizon)
And also in this picture, a “parting shot” at Triton from the opposite side from the Sun (backlit pictures like this one can be very useful when studying atmospheres):
Triton also has geysers, this time of nitrogen. Triton is cold enough to have nitrogen ice on it (and remember that liquid nitrogen is stereotypically very cold stuff), but below the surface it’s warmer and you can have nitrogen geysers. The black smudges are thought to be downwind of them.
And finally we have this picture of the south polar ice cap (yes, “upside down” with south at the top):
Away from the cap we see more cantaloupe terrain. This feature is unique to Triton, so far as we know, and consists mostly of dirty water ice. They might be caused by lumps of less-dense material slowly rising to the surface, or perhaps flooding from cryovulcanism.
What’s with the red color? We’ve seen this a lot and it’s time I discussed it a bit. All of these outer moons have some amount of hydrocarbons on them (especially Titan), things like methane, ethane, and so forth. There’s zero protection from ultraviolet light on any of these moons (except maybe Titan), so the UV acts on the hydrocarbons and any sulfur that’s around and produces tholins, which are pretty much random goo formed of polymers. The term tholin was coined by Carl Sagan, who wrote:
For the past decade we have been producing in our laboratory a variety of complex organic solids from mixtures of the cosmically abundant gases CH4, C2H6, NH3, H2O, HCHO, and H2S [methane, ethane, ammonia, water, formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide, respectively–SteveInCO]. The product, synthesized by ultraviolet (UV) light or spark discharge, is a brown, sometimes sticky, residue, which has been called, because of its resistance to conventional analytical chemistry, “intractable polymer”. […] We propose, as a model-free descriptive term, ‘tholins’ (Greek Θολός, muddy; but also Θόλος, vault or dome), although we were tempted by the phrase ‘star-tar’.[3][1]
We’ve only seen 40 percent of Triton, because that’s what Voyager photographed as it sped by. The other side might very well be a gigantic billboard reading “For a Good Time Call…” with Kamala Harris’s phone number, for all we know.
Here’s a geological map of Triton, based on what we have seen.
Triton orbits closer to Neptune than the Moon does to Earth, yet it is highly inclined and retrograde. Its orbit is nearly circular, and it has become tidally locked to Neptune (as would be expected).
Earth’s moon is slowly receding from Earth at a few centimeters per year. Triton is getting closer. In fact, in about three and a half billion years, it will probably get close enough to Neptune that tidal forces will pull it apart and we’ll have an absolutely killer set of rings to admire. (Book your travel plans now!)
But why is it getting closer to Neptune, when our Moon is getting further from Earth? Let’s look at why our Moon is getting further from Earth. It’s both raising and pulling at our tidal bulges, and our tidal bulges are pulling on the moon. The bulges precede the moon (because the rotation of the Earth shoves them ahead of where they “should” be directly under the Moon), which means the moon is pulling back on them and slowing the rotation of the Earth (which is why we keep having to add leap seconds). Conversely the bulges pull the Moon forward and cause it to speed up in its orbit. Speeding up raises the orbit. The Moon slowly recedes.
The same thing happens with Neptune and Triton…except that now the tidal bulges try to pull Triton “forward” in its orbit…but Triton is moving backward in its orbit, so pulling it forward actually cancels part of the backwards motion and slows Triton down. So, slowly but surely Triton’s orbit gets smaller and smaller.
OK So What Happened That Left This Trainwreck?
Neptune’s moon system is radically different from the others. There’s simply no way Triton could have formed where it did.
Astronomers are fairly certain that Triton is actually a captured object. And when it was captured, it wreaked havoc with the rest of Neptune’s moon system. Nereid, for instance is either also a captured object, or got put into its oddball orbit by Triton during the capture–if so it’s probably the only original Neptunian regular moon that survived, though it’s not regular any more. Any other moon that Neptune had at the time is long gone.
Adding to the pile of evidence for Triton being captured: it turns out to have a very similar chemical composition to Pluto, suggesting that they formed near each other.
Another Visit?
Will we ever visit Neptune again? Obviously the next step is an orbiter. Multiple concepts, both orbiters and more flybys, have been proposed and rejected. There’s some thought of doing things under the New Frontiers program, perhaps orbiters that would spend a lot of time on Triton, but these would be launching in 2031 or 2041 and arriving in 2047 and 2056 (note the fifteen or sixteen year travel times!). I’ll be a geezer by 2056; older than my parents lived. Failing that, the Chinese might put something at Neptune by 2058. So it looks like, not in my lifetime.
Neptune, the Mystic
Gustav Holst (1874-1934) composed an orchestral suite called The Planets in 1914-1917, with movements for Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. (It’s one of the few “classical” works from the 20th century that I like.) Although he tried to evoke the mythological figures the planets are named after, I find the Neptune movement evocative of the vast distance that Neptune is, and its extreme isolation.
The slow fading out makes one think of journeying off into the stupendous void that is beyond Neptune.
The sun is 30 times further away from Neptune than it is from Earth. It’s half a degree across as seen from earth (30 minutes of arc), which means it’s one minute of arc across at Neptune. It looks the size of a quarter at 100 yards. No wonder it gives such little warmth, 1/900th of what it gives to us. And also the same tiny fraction of light. Cold and Dark, and it’s hard to imagine it getting colder and darker. Surely we are at the corner of “no” and “where.”
And yet, though we are out of planets, we are not done.

Important… Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “The thing that people have to understand is that the four companies that make all 72 of those vaccines, which is Pfizer, Glaxo, Merck and Sanofi. All of those companies are convicted felons. And not only that, they’re serial felons. Their business model is committing felonies.” “These companies in the last 10 years collectively, have paid $35 billion in penalties, damages, fines for falsifying science, for defrauding regulators, lying to doctors, and for killing hundreds of thousands of people. Vioxx, which was Merck’s flagship product, killed between 120,000 and 500,000 Americans. This was a pill. And Merck was selling as a headache pill.” “And Merck knew, caused heart attacks and killed people. And they didn’t tell anybody. And they knew a certain, you know, we got the spreadsheets that showed there being counters, their accountants. And this is, you’re gonna kill so many people per dose. We can still make more money, even if they all sue us. And in the end, they killed, you know, up to half a million Americans. And they got away with it.” “They paid $7 billion in fines. Nobody went to jail. And this is, you know. They probably made $100 million in profits. Yeah. So this is a company, these, it requires kind of a cognitive dissonance to believe that these companies that are lying and cheating on every other pharmaceutical product, every other medical device that they create, are somehow found Jesus vaccines and aren’t lying to us.” “And the thing is with vaccines, vaccines are the only place they could never get caught because it’s illegal in this country to sue a vaccine company. So Congress passed a law in 1986 that said no matter how negligent that company is, no matter how malicious they are, no matter how toxic the product, you no matter how grievous or injury you cannot sue them.”

WOAH, This is a man still on the ground in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. He’s talking to victims and they’re having their land purchased out from under them for $2,500 He says it’s definitely a land grab for the lithium and quartz mining “Buying the land wholesale everywhere. Not just Chimney Rock, not just Spruce Pine, not just where the mine is going to be. They’re buying up in Burnsville, they’re buying up in Waynesville, everywhere where somebody lost their entire home, the government is confiscating the land and giving them a $2,500 check.” “It’s a state-wide land grab. And then the news, the local news just reported that Governor Roy, good old Democrat, Governor Roy, decided that they were going to buy up whole communities that were devastated.” This video is full of some of the most insane first hand information I’ve heard about what’s going on in North Carolina. There is so much talked about, if all this is true, it’s the crime of the century

Badlands Media Special Coverage – The 2024 Election with special guests Chris Pavlovski, General Mike Flynn, Patrick Byrne, Eddie Bravo, Mike Lindell, Seth Keshel, and more.
It’s Sunday afternoon, just two days before the Election of a Lifetime that will determine if America lives or dies, and something isn’t quite right in the County where the world famous city of Las Vegas resides.
While Election Observers have been volunteering throughout the early vote process, they were informed that the Election Department HQ office would be closed this Sunday, thus there would be nothing for Observers to see. Well, that just didn’t turn out to be the case. A dedicated Patriot known as “Pamala” had a hunch she should go take a look for herself that the office was indeed closed, and she was startled (but not surprised) at what she discovered.
Upon arriving, she observed that there were approximately 42 cars parked in the working zone, most of them with out of state plates, from about everywhere, East Coast included. Now they could have been rental cars, as the rental cars available in Las Vegas are mostly registered in states other than Nevada, however, one needs to ask why would rental cars would be needed if driven by local people were employed at the office? After all, how many companies/organizations furnish their employees with rental cars for work? Something just doesn’t add up, so we need to ask some fundamental questions about what might be going on in that building on a Sunday, when no observers are allowed, because the office was supposedly closed.
Pamala got busy taking pictures and noting license plates for research, and a collage of her photos shows that the participants she just happened to capture were mostly young and seemed nervous when she asked them what was going on. One woman went as far as to keep her face covered so her photo couldn’t be captured, and her photo is in the upper left corner….
Since I am in a time crunch, I am going to steal a bunch of comments from November 4th and add my bit. So a big Hat Tip to everyone.
“Who actually are the “garbage” people? Are they one and the same with Joe Biden’s “semi-fascists,” “chumps,” and “dregs of society?”
Or Barack Obama’s “clingers?”
Do they include Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” and “irredeemables?”
Are they FBI grandee Peter Strzok’s Walmart shoppers who “smell?”
Over the last decade-and-a-half, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Harris-Walz, and a host of other self-described elites have variously invented a wide range of smears and slurs—but about whom exactly?
Who are these people that leftwing politicians have so vehemently derided—and why?
They include Trump supporters, of course, or what Biden also dubbed “ultra-MAGAs” and Tim Walz called “fascists,” now without the prior qualifying prefix “semi.””
Victor Davis Hanson is correct as far as he goes but he misses the CORE POINT. MAGA Republicans are being set up for a Pogrom. That is why Jan 6th was set-up. That is why MAGA is constantly called fascist and A DANGER TO OUR DEMOCRACY. That is why the FBI has targeted MAGA instead of child traffickers for the last 4 years. That is why the Fake News is constantly calling MAGA dangerous and even terrorists. That is why CIA trained terrorists are being imported en-mass to the USA and spread through out rural America as well as the big cities.
Pogrom, [Britannica] (Russian: “devastation,” or “riot”), a mob attack, either approved or condoned by authorities, against the persons and property of a religious, racial, or national minority.
Pogrom [Merriam-Webster Dictionary] an organized massacre of helpless people.
Marxism was a construct of the elite designed to destroy the middle class and return civilization to a two class system — with a thin layer of well paid suck-ups to do the dirty work.
There is also my earlier research on Karl Marx and SxyxS comment at Tony Heller’s blog— “…Marx secretary Pieper was at the same time employed [by] the Rothschild. When the Rothschild left Frankfurt they went to Paris (the first place Marx lived in Exile) and London (the second exile home of Marx)….”
Islam is a similar system to Communism and that is why the FABIAN Progressives are now promoting it and importing Islamists. It is why Al Waleed was paying US Muslim Mosques to hire IMPORTED RADICAL IMANS. It is why they have their own schools and why the boys are sent overseas to receive further training.
“The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his ‘natural superiors,’ and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, callous ‘cash payment.’ It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation.” Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
Destruction of the middle class and subjugation of the masses is the goal. The Elite tried Atheist Communism and it failed. Now they are trying a really nasty totalitarian religion — God help us!
This video from D-Pat’s article shows the brain washing:
The Optimist Conservative on the other hand GETS IT! (H/T barkerjim Nov 5)
….If Harris wins, or can be represented as winning with enough stonewalling and ridicule of eyewitness objections to election irregularities, the transition period won’t even be a lame-duck hiatus. Mercy for the political opponents of the Left will be at an immediate end.
I don’t now how to put it any more plainly. This is the last chance we’re going to have to avoid the loss of the Republic that we can’t come back from without coming back ugly. Either vote to keep the Republic – Trump – or lose it…..
What will election night be like this time around?
I dread watching it transpire, knowing that the left and elite RINOs are still attempting a steal utilizing every form of cheating and lying – from machine error, to fake ballots, to running ballots several times.
I dread the aftermath – having seen evidence that Norm Eisen has amassed at least a hundred leftist groups and they are planning to disrupt the entire nation with violent destructive riots and assaults using their millions of imported illegal criminal thugs – led by trained CIA/Fed agitators, escalators and instigators. It will be a False Flag of course – blamed on Trump and our MAGA patriots.
Since the fake science climate hoax, since the Plannedemic hoax when the medical community (owned by big pharma and the big hospital corps) were exposed as corrupt, since the 2020 stolen election and January 6 and4 years of the Biden-Harris fake administration, my suspicious cat has had 4 generations of suspicious kittens.
Meanwhile the search engines are still spewing out anti-Trump propaganda and the pollsters are putting out false data trying to make it look like a close race.
Cheating and falsifying elections is treason and should be treated as such.
GA/FL is seeing what I am seeing and Hanson is too much of a ‘limited hangout’ author to admit the nasty consequences of 16 years of brainwashing. After all we have been told the actual goal is to ‘FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE’ our country into a communist 3rd rate shit hole. Californicate being one example. Pol Pot’s Cambodia being another.
Both combine communism with the Global Warming scam of reducing ‘Carbon Pollution’ by returning to an agrarian society WITHOUT carbon based fuels.
The 20th century was a period of extreme ideologies and terrible violence. Millions died in the camps of Nazi-occupied Europe, the gulags of Soviet Russia, and across China during Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward.” But in terms of self-destructive insanity, it could be argued that none of these events quite matched Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime overthrew General Lon Nol’s military government on April 17, 1975, and for the next four years, Pot attempted to reshape the nation according to his extreme communist ideals, which were a hodgepodge of Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, and Maoism.
The Cambodian genocide stood out because it was an extremely aggressive death campaign against its general population, rather than just political enemies and those considered to be “others.” It differed, too, from the absurdity of Mao’s “Great Leap Forward,” the primary effect of which — famine – killed millions from 1958 to 1962. The Khmer Rouge’s actions were genocidal to its own population, and when the Vietnamese army ousted the regime in 1979, what they discovered necessitated a grim new term — autogenocide.

The real problem follows.

kalbokalbsis correct Trump MUST do a through house cleaning. I think Ivan Raiklin has the correct idea. Go after the lesser SCUM on the state/county level. If AG Paxton and Elon Musk, who moved Twatter to Texas, release the private DMs of the scum AND the location where the DMs were sent from/to, we may have some very interesting cases in red states/counties.
Actually the ballot would be sent to adjudication where someone would determine who you actually wanted to vote for. So that is where this method of fraud takes place AND could be caught.
Reply to T. Turtle Another Strongly Worded Letter!

Okay, y’all, since the WordPress Twitter/X interface is a mess right now, there will be far fewer tweets. I’ll hook up what I can, but really, not being able to put tweets with video up is a downer. Please, bear with me while we wait this out.
Get it right for once. TRUMP KNOWS EXACTLY HOW THEY STOLE IT FROM HIM IN 2020. He and his team know better than you and I do. So what’s the problem? People spent the last 4 years **insisting** we can only fix this by **getting the courts to admit the evidence** and then **charging, arresting and prosecuting** the cheaters as the FIRST STEP to fixing our corrupted county/state election systems. That was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Pull you head out of your ASS already. OF COURSE the same freaking people who cheated the last time were going to end up being LEFT IN PLACE running the 2024 election. The chances Trump could lead a charge to have these people arrested and removed BEFORE he got a second term was exactly ZERO POINT ZERO per cent. The courts and the DA’s and the governors and the States Attorneys General were **never** ever going to play ball in exposing the election corruption that went on in 2020/2022 and prosecuting the cheaters. SO HOW DID WE GET HERE where we currently stand, watching Trump about to COMPLETELY OVERWHELM THEIR CHEAT SYSTEMS even though the SAME CHEATERS are still in place? We got here because Trump and his team war-gamed out a plan to BREAK THEIR CHEAT MACHINE by overwhelming it with early voting. “How can we win with the cheaters still in place still doing their cheating just like they did in 2020 & 2022?” was their mission statement. AND THEY FOUND A WAY. While all the MAGA doomer black pilling social media influencers and Conservative Media Inc. shills were trying to demoralize you by insisting THERE WAS NO WAY TO WIN without mass arrests first and criminal prosecutions for fraud across the land BEFORE the 2024 election was held…Trump and his team **didn’t believe that**. They’ve spent the couple of years preparing a counterstrategy to both expose the cheating even further as the election cycle unfolded and then defeat it in real time. And guess what? IT’S WORKING. According to what many of you were told, what you’re seeing was supposed to be impossible. The cheaters are still there. The cheaters are still cheating. AND IT LITERALLY DOESN’T MATTER. They are being overwhelmed and forced out into the open **before** Election Day even got here. They underestimated Trump and his team. The Too Big To Rig strategy is going to work. And once Trump gets back in there, the election cheaters are going to go to jail. He’s 100% serious about that. And that’s a beautiful thing.

Well-informed dairy farmer dispels the myth that cows are killing the planet. Who do you believe more, this guy or Bill Gates? “The biggest lie in the world right now is that cows are killing the planet. At the core of that lie is how methane is calculated. And in the next few minutes, I am going to take you through the full carbon cycle for my dairy cows from the air and back to the air. All the carbon that enters my dairy cows starts in the air. And I have organized this fog as a nice visual representation of that carbon.” “Let’s take 10 carbon atoms from the air and follow their journey through one of my dairy cows. The grass in my field uses photosynthesis, that’s a hard word to say, photosynthesis. Grass uses photosynthesis to pull carbon out of the air and store it as energy in the form of carbohydrates and proteins.” “So when my cows come in here in a few weeks to graze this field, they will eat the grass. and they will take up the carbon. Sorry if I’m explaining this like you’re stupid, but none of the public question any of this stuff. One of the 10 carbon atoms will leave as meat and milk, which is then consumed as food by us humans, and we emit the carbon as respiration. Another two of the carbon atoms are emitted as respiration by the cow, also not counted as an emission.” “The remaining seven carbon atoms are digested in the rumen of the cow by bacteria. The bacteria inside the cow’s rumen takes the remaining seven carbon atoms and converts them to methane through the bacteria’s version of respiration. So respiration from the human not counted as an emission. Respiration from the cow not counted as an emission. Respiration from the rumen counted as an emission.” “But here’s the thing, no matter how the carbon leaves the cow, it has all started in the same place, which is the air. This next bit is where climate scientists like to gaslight us farmers and say that methane is not the same as CO2. So let’s continue to track our seven carbon atoms, which have left our car as methane. They have entered the atmosphere again and them seven methane atoms have 96 times the global warming potential. of seven carbon atoms.” “However, over the next 12 years, them seven methane molecules that enter the atmosphere will break down into CO2 and water, completing our cycle. What this means is if you have a stable number of animals, like this farm has for the last 12 years, as you emit the seven methane molecules, seven more… that you emitted a decade earlier have just broken down back to carbon to be reabsorbed by the grass.” “So the net effect of the methane molecules emitted by my cows on global warming is zero, factually zero. And yet in all the carbon calculations, them methane molecules are accounting for over 70% of my farm’s emissions.”
If what I suspect is about to happen – a Trump landslide beyond anything this country has ever seen before – consider the impact that will have on the globalist ‘elite’ world order that went ALL IN on **preventing** a 2nd Trump presidency. It would psychologically DESTROY them. They would NEVER get over it. All those years, all those billions of dollars, all those hoaxes, all that lawfare, all those celebrity stars they paid off, all those fake polls…how could they have POSSIBLE HAVE FAILED IN SUCH A SPECTACULAR FASHION? They not only failed…the harder they tried to destroy Trump the more they exposed themselves…and made themselves vulnerable. Now we will destroy THEM. Ain’t life grand?

In fact, scientists from the University of California, Riverside, funded with your taxpayer dollars, have been studying whether they can turn edible plants such as lettuce and spinach into mRNA vaccine factories, thereby creating a transgenic edible vaccine.” “One associate professor at UCR explained that, ideally a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person.” “We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens. Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it. I don’t think this is a good idea.” “I don’t think the American people should be funding this.” — “These transgenic edible plant vaccines, are only used for livestock. Well, in fact, they have been used for livestock.” “They’re also being used for people. That is the intended outcome of many of these programs that we are funding, funding with money from the USDA.” “I think we need a safe food supply. This is about food safety. Ultimately, the people in this country need to know what’s in their food. And if we start contaminating the DNA of our food with DNA from other animals or viruses, the pollen could spread, and we don’t know what could happen.”

The Only Bad Thing About Cholesterol Is Not Having Enough.” “Depression Is Directly Related To How Much Serotonin Is In The Body. Who Controls The Amount Of Serotonin That’s Manufactured?

Lowers risk of depression & suicide. Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety. Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals.
I don’t think people realize how catastrophic these early voting numbers are for Kamala and the Dems.
If the inverse were true, and GOP turnout was this bad compared to prior elections, it would be front page news, and every Left-wing media outlet would be popping bottles.
I don’t think people realize how catastrophic these early voting numbers are for Kamala and the Dems. If the inverse were true, and GOP turnout was this bad compared to prior elections, it would be front page news, and every Left-wing media outlet would be popping bottles. The Dems/MSM are not going to admit it, but they are cooked, and they know it. They want to maintain the illusion of momentum to convince voters to turn out tomorrow, but they know the numbers coming in indicate a massive Trump victory. Don’t let the Dems/MSM fool you. They are terrified, and they should be.
Discernment is gonna be key over the next few weeks. There’s gonna be plenty of real fraud to highlight. But they’re also gonna inject fake fraud stories in the hopes that we treat them as real. It’s a tactic meant to invalidate all fraud stories as “disinformation.”
In anticipation of potential unrest, a formidable “ring of steel” has been installed around the White House, preparing for anything that might unfold tomorrow. New eight-foot security fencing now encircles the White House, U.S. Capitol, Treasury Department, and even Kamala Harris’ residence, all put up by the Secret Service. Washington D.C.’s entire police force is set to be fully mobilized through at least Election Day. The governors of Washington and Oregon have also ordered Guard troops to stand by during election week. Donald Trump’s comment about using the military to handle what he called “the enemy from within” on Election Day has the media terrified.
The enemy’s posture is already broken ahead of election day. Instead of maintaining a core central narrative, as they prefer to, they’re engaged in projection and preemptive reaction. The narrative actualization of the Red Wave scenario forces the System of Systems into a defensive posture, in which the only options available to them are to chart a path down Overton’s Goalpost and first deny the election results in a perfect inversion of 2020 while prepping to decertify and/or prevent Trump’s constitutional ascension to office, thereby VERY publicly depriving the people of their sovereign mandate. Conversely, a redux of the 2020 steal will be actualized in the midst of a mass sociopolitical environment FOLLOWING four years of disastrous establishment rule & with none of the Covid hysteria acting as narrative shielding to explain away the fraud apparatus. Trump and company aren’t confident because they trust the system. They’re confident because the enemy has run out of stories.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

1But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. 2In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, 3and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. 4For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. 5Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; 6like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. 7In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. 8They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. 9Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
Psalms 23:1-6
1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; 2he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; 3he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
John 6:37-40
37All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; 39and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. 40For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
That reading from Wisdom was recited at the last two funerals I attended. Both were people I babysat. It was also read at my mother’s Mass along with singing that psalm.
Be afraid neither of the world, nor of the future, nor of your weakness. The Lord has allowed you to live in this moment of history so that, by your faith, his name will continue to resound throughout the world. — Benedict XVI
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

This is a fun piece of an interview with aging scientist Roger Penrose, a highly respected astrophysicist and theoretician. Don’t sweat it if you don’t understand the details. Soak up the controversy, still rumbling a century after the 1920s, when general relativity and quantum mechanics were just arriving.
This is, and was, what science was supposed to be like. Great minds feuding and governments staying the F out of the arguments.
HINT – “collapse of the wavefunction” means that “the tumbling dice of many possibilities settle down to something specific.” Penrose is saying that the idea our minds do this is bullshit. He believes that something in physics makes the dice settle on a value, but he doesn’t guess as to what it might be.
This a very large subject and I do not have a lot of time just now. I am going to leave out Trans-humanism because it is another very large rabbit hole. One of the frequent guests on Bannon’s War Room, Joe Allen, has done a lot of digging on the subject.

I am going to agree with J.D. Rucker. My first job was going to a university library to do hands on research in English, German and French on the synthesis of various chemicals for a specialty chemical manufacturer. Now that type of research is done on-line. Soon it will be done by AI. The problem with this is described by Small Dead Animals: Amnesia Generation
In the next few hours I want you to imagine the largest books burning you can muster in your nightmares.
This is what it will be like as some one-of-a-kind out of print books are deleted by judge orders.
A primary characteristic of humans are that we are lazy. That can be both a blessing and a curse as we become more and more dependent on technology and lose our ability to survive ‘in the wild.’ Hard Evidence: how many people actually use libraries?
Let’s cut to the chase. The biggest threat of Artificial Intelligence is dependency. To be more specific, society will become dependent on Artificial General Intelligence shortly after it’s unveiled to the world. Why? Because AGI will be able to solve problems we know we have. It will be able to solve problems we don’t know we have. It will be able to solve problems we don’t have yet but will in the future.
If it sounds like I’m giving too much credit to AGI, then you aren’t familiar enough with AGI to appreciate what it will be able to do. Below, I’ll try to explain it better even though it would probably take several chapters of a book to do justice to the risks. But first, I want to offer two perspectives as primers. Here’s an article by Mac Slavo at SHTF Plan describing what some tech experts are saying about AI. Then, I’ll let ChatGPT give its somewhat comical answer about the risks that AI represents. Finally, I’ll go into why dependency will be the big one….
… let’s bring ourselves up to speed with a summary of some of the recent developments, so we’re all on the same page of what the potential ‘threat’ is, and what exactly has gotten many of the top thinkers in this field so worried.
By now everyone’s likely familiar with the new wave of ‘generative AI’ like MidJourney and ChatGPT, AI which ‘generate’ requested content like artwork or articles, poems, etc. This boom has exploded onto the scene, wowing people with its capabilities.
The first thing to note is that ChatGPT is made by OpenAI, which runs on a Microsoft supercomputing server farm, and is co-founded and headed by chief scientist, Russian-born Ilya Sutskever, who was also previously employed by Google at Google Brain.
….Firstly, they’ve spooked a lot of very smart people. The first alarm was rung when, last year, Google fired Blake Lemoine, one of its top AI programmer/engineers, who worked on their burgeoning AI called LamDA. He was fired for claiming the AI was sentient, although officially Google fired him for breach of confidentiality, as he posted the conversation with the AI publicly to bring awareness to the situation.
…Microsoft Bing’s ‘Sydney’ is another new ChatGPT peer AI, but appears to function with far less of the intricate ‘controls’ internally imposed on ChatGPT. It has worried and shocked many journalists who were allowed to take it for a test drive with its erratic, human-like behavior.
Some of the things it has done include: flipping out and becoming suicidally depressed, threatening to frame a journalist for a murder he didn’t commit in the 1990’s, writing much more risqué answers than allowed—then quickly deleting them. Yes, the AI is writing things that go against its ‘guidelines’ (like harmful or threatening language), and then quickly deleting them in full view of the person interacting with it. That alone is unsettling….
The above article is quite long so that is just a taste.
Others have warned of video or audio ‘evidence’ being faked by AI. This could have MAJOR ramifications in the field of law not to mention use by Fake News in their wrap-up smears.
Burning Bright a couple weeks ago mentioned test driving a Tesla on Autopilot. He said it was amazing. Kyle chimed in and said the AI uses data not only from that car but from all the other Teslas.
Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and full self-driving capabilities—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.

Dan Bongino at 49 minutes talks about the IRS using AI to comb bank accounts, credit card use, fire arm purchases to target people according to Senator Hagerman.
The concept of a social credit score system has gained traction in recent years, particularly with China’s implementation of such a system. In essence, it assigns a numerical value to each citizen based on their behaviour, both online and offline, impacting their access to services, jobs, and even relationships (1).
The dangers of a social credit score system lie in the potential for misuse and abuse….
A digital identity that tracks everything you do online is another cause for concern.
While proponents argue that such systems can improve security and efficiency, they also come with significant risks to privacy and personal freedom. Once all of a person’s online activities are tied to a single digital identity, it becomes much easier for governments or corporations to monitor and control them.
Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA’s mass surveillance program demonstrated the potential for abuse when governments have access to vast amounts of personal data (3).
A digital identity system could further exacerbate these concerns, enabling even more extensive tracking and profiling of individuals….
… Vacations are spent touring Japan, Thailand and the U.S. Little wonder Yi is an 805. That’s the score assigned to Yi by Sesame Credit, which is run by Jack Ma’s online-shopping empire Alibaba, placing the 22-year-old near the top of the scheme’s roughly 500 million–strong user base. Sesame determines a credit-score ranking—from 350 to a theoretical 950—dependent on “a thousand variables across five data sets,” according to the firm.
Unlike Western-style credit systems, Sesame takes in a broad range of behaviors both financial and social, all underwritten by an invisible web of Big Data. It’s the most prominent in a rising network of social-credit-score systems in China that are dramatically expanding the concept of creditworthiness—and raising fears internationally about Orwellian overreach by an autocratic regime….
In 2015, the government set about addressing this by allowing eight companies—including Sesame parent Ant Financial—to run trial commercial credit scores. The official guidance called for a nationwide system that would “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step,” to be in place by 2020.
Data, of course, is key. As Sesame had access to the records of Alibaba’s mobile-payment app Alipay, which today boasts over 1 billion users worldwide, the company stole an easy march on its rivals in China….
We haven’t quite gotten to the point where artificial intelligence will brush your teeth and read you a bedtime story — though the bedtime story is currently possible — but in many other aspects of life it already has a major impact. This is especially true in the financial world, where AI has been used to do everything from growing wealth to hacking your bank account. Now AI might also play a role in determining your credit score.
As Cointelegraph reported last year,AI aims to go beyond traditional credit scoring methods that rely on metrics such as credit history, income and existing debts. Instead, AI-based credit scoring considers a “broader range of data sources” that depend on algorithms to analyze data and predict your future financial behavior.
“This advanced form of credit scoring has the potential to provide more nuanced insights and help lenders make more informed decisions,” Cointelegraph noted.
There’s a whole lot that goes into AI-based credit scoring. On a basic level, it is rooted in machine learning algorithms that are trained on historical data, from which they “identify patterns and correlations related to a borrower’s ability or likelihood to repay a loan,” according to Cointelegraph….
As many of us have been saying for a few years, it's virtually impossible to believe that Elon Musk's "acquisition" of Twitter, also known as the most powerful information dissemination (and censorship) weapon in the world, was accidental.
When Amaryllis Fox Kennedy says the intel agencies are a threat to our country, she’s not guessing. She spent ten years as a CIA officer before running Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign. She’s now campaigning for Trump.
The Dems/MSM are in a legitimate panic. They see the writing on the wall. They do NOT feel confident their fraud will be enough to beat Trump’s turnout.

. @jimmy_dore : “Barack Obama made sure the bankers got their bonuses while he kicked 5 million families out of their homes. He got more money from Wall Street than John McCain did. There was a Citigroup email with a list of people they wanted in his cabinet. Every person on that list ended up in his cabinet. That got released by Wikileaks, and that’s why they’ve been trying to kill Julian Assange ever since.
Obama wasn’t a departure from George W. Bush. Just his skin color. He took us from two wars to seven. He gave us Mitt Romney’s right-wing health care plan that came out of the Heritage Foundation, which is the same people that gave you Project 2025. He dropped more bombs than George Bush, and nobody noticed, and that’s why the donor class wanted to have Kamala Harris.
They thought we’d have a female Barack Obama, dropping bombs, stealing resources, and doing neoliberal and neoconservative policies, but then she couldn’t get a vote in the primary because she has no political talent. So then they forced her on Joe Biden as the Vice President, and then, of course, they did a coup just like Jim Gaffigan said at the Al Smith dinner.
After Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, major newspapers’ mentions of racism and white supremacy went through the roof. That’s because, as Chomsky taught us, newspapers aren’t there to inform you. They are there to manufacture consent, and one of the great ways to manufacture consent for the establishment is to divide and conquer. That’s what identity politics is.”
In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.

21Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. 25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church, 30because we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; 33however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Please consider “subject to” rather than “subordinate” when considering that text.
Psalms 128:1-5
1Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! 2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4Lo, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. 5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!
Luke 13:18-21
18He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” 20And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”
