What happened to the British is happening to America. Both nations became empires and the people living in Britain & America were used ... abused ... and then ultimately left for dead. Here's Jonathan Swift in 1712, writing about how the Empire was destroying Britain. [My caps.] “We are destroying many thousand lives, exhausting our substance, NOT FOR OUR OWN INTEREST, which would be but common prudence; not for a thing indifferent which would be sufficient folly; but perhaps TO OUR OWN DESTRUCTION which is perfect madness.” Exactly the same words can describe America today. America goes around the world, destroying millions of lives, not for our own interest ... but our own destruction. Jonathan Swift named the beneficiaries as “that set of people who are called the monied men; such as had raised vast sums by trading with stocks and funds and lending upon great interest and premiums; whose perpetual harvest is war.” America's version is Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex -- "whose perpetual harvest is war." image
In the "Golden Age" Americans can't pay their electricity bills ... at record levels. At the same time, the President wants more money printing and more price increases that result from it. Oh, and it's a "national mission" to keep pumping money into the AI bubble ... which cause skyrocketing electric bills. image
The colonies were overwhelmingly populated with Christians. That’s true. But many of the elites (including Washington) were Freemasons and Deists. Their “Supreme Being” and “Creator” were not Christian or the Holy Trinity. Almost all of the 13 new states had a religious test to serve in their governments. You had to be Christian. The Federal Government, however, had no religious test. Long-story-short —- The secular federal government ultimately took over control of EVERYTHING — after the “Civil War.” The stripping of Christianity out American society would take place, systematically ever since. Here we are in 2025, with a “national mission,” to create an “artificial intelligence” to completely rule over the broken bones of a once Christian nation. image
Fauci - I am the science. Trump - I am the stock market. image
Just like Ron Paul. Always hated in the present moment that is filled with tribal emotions… But always proven right when the dust has settled. Massie already has a consistent track record of being right; which will continue. Not because these two men have superpowers… But because pointing out the failure of tyrannical government policies is very easy to do. Yet despite this ease, very few people have the courage to stand against the slings and arrows of tribal emotions. image
Community Notes to the rescue on this attempt to rewrite history. This is like someone making the claim hundreds of years from now: "Ron Paul loved central banking. He was a champion of The Federal Reserve." image
Textbook example of "I'm from government and I'm here to help." Government decided that it would provide better "access" to college. That better "access" came through student loans. The loans drove up the price of college, and buried the students in debt. Now the degrees are not worth what they used to be, and 25% of the graduates are unemployed. image
The government is signaling to us that AI companies will be on the bailout list at some point. The U.S. government fixes nothing (especially not itself). It only props up failures in the market that it has distorted. Taxpayer money and Fed counterfeiting (which further destroys the money) are used to prop up the politically-favored. Whether it be: - Mortgage Backed Securities - Big Banks - Buying equities in companies - Bailing out other failed nations Another piling is added to the collapsing "system." Eventually all of the pilings will snap in half. And then we'll be forced to do the right things for once. image
Future bailout signal. Hold your wallets. image
It doesn't matter how "smart" AI is, or becomes. We must keep AI in perspective. It can be, and is, helpful. But it cannot "run everything" and create a utopia where people are sitting around in superabundance, without work or poverty anywhere in the world. Human civilization functions on billions of individual decisions, and DISPERSED knowledge. NOT centralized knowledge. We each have SUBJECTIVE value scales that are changing at every moment. Those value scales are always private. That knowledge cannot be known by AI, no matter how much data is collected. Our desires are in constant flux. Sometimes we make rational decisions ... and very often emotional decisions. We make our decisions to act in our own local situations, with resources that are immediately available to us. We PURPOSEFULLY choose our own individual ends, and the means that we will use to TRY to achieve them. We make decisions in our minds, and with our hearts. No AI, no matter how "smart" it is can "run" human civilization. Yet, as with all the utopian schemes that come and go ... humanity will probably end up learning this the hard way. image
