AI: Useful Tool? Yes. World-ending Tech? Also, Yes.

“This logic is if I don’t build it I will lose to China. But if the thing I would build would be a suicide machine, then I don’t beat China by building a suicide machine.” – Tristan Harris

Tristan Harris, formerly of Google, and one of the featured experts in the exceptional documentary, The Social Dilemma, has many important revelations in this interview on AI.

As he states, many things can be true. Some fears about China “winning” the AI race are true, others are not. Some are much worse. Such as this: Since AI has already shown an increasing ability to hack just about anything, is the U.S.’s plan to digitize and modernize the nuclear arsenal and a good idea?

Ever hear of Skynet or see the recent Mission: Impossible films? Fiction is quickly becoming fact.

Most people are woefully ignorant on AI:

Why are people racing headfirst into paying for data centers which are ultimately intended to replace their jobs? These are not built for your monthly subscription to ChatGPT. If your career is information-based – accountants, lawyers, programmers, even teachers – your days are numbered. You are paying for your replacements.

AI cannot become sentient, but it certainly can fool people that it is human, or someone can manipulate it to do so. Already, AI has convinced people to commit suicide, others to have relationships with it. Imagine if the elite ruling class used AI wield control, take over religions, through the fabrication of some AI entity, as an alleged friend or foe? Forget the dying UFO-psyop, AI will be far more effective in creating a new villain or false prophet. Don’t fool yourself that the puppetmasters aren’t already thinking about this.

This isn’t about fear-mongering. This is about understanding what “24th Century technology crashing down on 21st Century society” can and will do if people treat AI like another new update to their phone.

You could be updated out of existence.

The Machine Vs. Humanity

“We find ourselves in the age of AI and apps for everything, with CCTV cameras on every street corner, our opinions manufactured by interest groups, our communications tracked and monitored, wondering what is true or who we can believe, and feeling, day by day, like we have less agency, less control, less humanity than ever before.” – Paul Kingsnorth, Against the Machine

The Machine has been growing for centuries: The Age of Reason, the Industrial Revolution, the Computer Age, Artificial Intelligence…Little and large jumps forward.

Now, rapid acceleration and massive changes are at our doorstep.

“The quest for perfection is a quest for homogeneity and control, and it leads to the gulag and the guillotine.”

Many have warned of this day. It was a long time coming. A time where we stand at a crossroads and decided to preserve and restore humanity, or enter some unrecognizable, dystopian age of transhumanism.

Kingsman’s book, Against the Machine, truly is “a spiritual manual for dissidents in a technological age.” Every so often, a book like this comes along, and you better read it, and then read it again

“We built the Machine to run the world for us. Now the Machine runs us.”

10 Reasons Why You Must Read

“Reading is the ultimate antidote to brain rot.” – Katharine Gordon

In an era in which we are being overwhelmed by media, AI, and the once-heralded internet, how can we protect our mind? Katharine Gordon figured out the answer: Reading. Actual, long-form reading. Books, even. Read this from Gordon and sharpen and protect your brain:

Does overusing AI make you feel a little dumb?

Reading is the ultimate antidote👇

In the era of AI, we all need to be vigilant about how we use our brains.

Consuming short-form content and using AI are becoming our go-to leisure activities.

And reading is the best defence we have against a total descent into a world of slop.

Here are 10 reasons why reading is a non-negotiable for me:

1️⃣ It sharpens your brain
Studies show it can slow cognitive decline and even help prevent dementia.

2️⃣ It reduces stress
A good book pulls you out of your head and into another world, calming the nervous system.

3️⃣ It expands your vocabulary
The more you read, the more words you learn and can draw from.

4️⃣ It strengthens memory
Following characters, plotlines, and ideas trains your brain to hold information.

5️⃣ It builds analytical thinking
Reading forces you to interpret, question, and connect ideas.

6️⃣ It improves focus
Reading is one of the few activities that trains sustained attention.
(And we can all use more of that these days!)

7️⃣ It makes you a better writer
Reading is how you absorb rhythm, structure, and voice.

8️⃣ It fuels creativity
The more you read, the more raw material your brain has to reinterpret into something new.

9️⃣ It gives you perspective
Books put you inside other people’s lives, minds, and experiences. That’s empathy.

🔟 It’s the best defence against AI slop
If you know what great writing looks like, you can spot mediocre AI content in seconds.

I’m not saying you need to pick up a copy of War and Peace.

There are so many ways to incorporate daily reading into your life.

Even just 20 minutes a day can make a huge difference in how you think, feel, and perceive.

There is poetry on Instagram, essays on Substack, and newsletters in absolutely every niche you can imagine.

Whatever it is you fancy, don’t let your brain go to waste.

You only get the one.

What Would You do With Your Last Year?

The following is an excerpt from Joshua Becker’s new book, Uncluttered Faith:

“The trouble is that you think you have time.” – Jack Kornfield

Our priorities often get misplaced specifically because we think we have more time than we actually do.

What if we approached life each day fully committed to the reality that time is short? That nothing lasts forever? Than tomorrow is promised to no one?

If you knew this was your last year on earth how would you live differently?

In our daily routines, it’s easy to get lost in the details and to forget the larger picture. When we do, we spend time on and chase things that, in the grand scheme of things, hold little significance.

If this was your last year, would you…

  • redo your countertops?
  • buy a new car?
  • binge-watch another series on Netflix?
  • acquire more of the latest gadgets?
  • obsess over your social media status?
  • engage in unnecessary arguments?

Or would it be better to…

  • prioritize relationships?
  • pursue your passions?
  • dedicate yourself to activity that brings meaning?
  • give generously by sharing your time, resources, and talents with those you desire to bless?

I hope you will intentionally choose more options from the second category. Those are all things we can do daily, regardless of hoe many days remain in our lives. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul writes, “Be very careful…how you live—not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” We’ll never find out what the real abundant life is if we try to live the false abundant life of ever more money, more stuff, and more frantic attempts to acquire the world.

End of the World: Big Business and Deception

“…prophecy pundits tirelessly proclaim that current world events ‘are all prophesied right in the Bible’ and now being fulfilled…They’ve been doing this for over 170 years…sizeable financial rewards can come from the right alarming message…this kind of big business Bible preaching can be corrupting [and] often vulgarizes the real intent of prophetic passages…” – Brian Godawa

It’s time for an adult conversation. The war in Iran didn’t bring about Armageddon, third temples, blood moons, raptures, or red heifers. Nor will the next war. For eighteen or so centuries, no one believed these things. Most of the Christian world officially still does not. So why have these beliefs taken a cult-like hold in some circles, influencing politics, and even feeding into death and destruction around the world?

We must turn to history, and also see why these beliefs are not biblical, and often very far removed from centuries of theological thought and study. The historic creeds, at most, commit one or two sentences to the end times. None of the things promoted by the modern end times industry are mentioned. And for good reason. Jesus didn’t teach them.

A long overdue correction is needed. We will return to this in more detail in due time, but for now consider there has been a dark deception hiding in plain sight for decades.

And it could send the world into chaos.

What Lurks in the Darkness

“It is the doom of men that they forget.” – Merlin (Excalibur 1981)

A few months back I wrote:

A fragmented comet is thought by many to be the source of the first global catastrophe (12,000 B.C.). What caused the upheaval at the end of the Bronze Age is still uncertain (1177 B.C.). During the early years of what would become known as the Middle Ages, a supervolcano in what is ocean between Sumatra and Java sent the world into chaos (535 A.D.).

Humanity has witnessed, and barely survived, a number of global catastrophes. We’ve not seen such level of disaster from nature in centuries. Will our luck hold out? We pass through what is known as the Taurid meteor stream twice a year. These are the remnants of a fragmented comet that came apart 10,000 years ago. Twice a year our world is at risk. These events can be attributed to the June Taurids:

  • On June 25, 1178, an impact on the Moon created the massive Giordano Bruno crater.
  • On June 30, 1908, a fragment exploded over Tunguska in Russia, destroying 2000 square kilometers of forest. A few hours earlier, and Moscow would have been destroyed.
  • In late June 1975, a swarm of objects impacted the Moon.

There could be more. The Bronze Age collapse is certainly suspicious, and perhaps the catastrophe at the end of the last Ice Age. June (which is now upon us) isn’t the only time Earth is in the danger zone. In Late October, the Taurid meteors often provide a little show — the Halloween Fireballs.

Is it a coincidence that cultures around the world have celebrations around late October focusing on fear and death? What was the common origin, obscured by centuries of religions and beliefs? Randall Carlson has searched through the (supposed) myths, old histories, and the Solar System, and found a cosmic demon that has terrorized Earth for centuries.

Is Halloween’s origins not in earthly terrors but ones that came from the sky?

Perhaps these celestial demons been terrorizing mankind for much of its existence.

When will they return?

The Founders’ Vision for America’s Prosperity

“Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with All Nations — Entangling Alliances with None.” – Thomas Jefferson

The founders of the United Sates were very astute in understanding the dangers of “entangling alliances” with other nations. As W. Cleon Skousen wrote in The 5000 Year Leap:

“This was the Founders’ doctrine of ‘separatism.’ This was far different from the modern term of ‘isolationism.’…[The Founders] desired to cultivate a wholesome relationship with all nations, but wished to remain aloof from sectional quarrels and international disputes.”

We’ve discussed the great costs the United Sates has paid for deviating from these principles. Many of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries were unnecessary or avoidable. Truly, “No war is inevitable until it has begun,” as Patrick J. Buchanan wrote. So indoctrinated we have become concerning the “necessity” of wars, we fear to question them and our actions in them. To this day, do not dare question the bombing of civilians in the World War II, because it was a “good” war. Nor question if there was a better way to end slavery than the loss of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the Civil War.

There are just wars, but there are no good wars.

The Founders also warned of foreign influence on our government. Skousen writes, “[George] Washington also warned that giving a more favored status to particular nations could open up the United States to strong foreign influences which could subvert the security or best interests of the United States.” Here is what George Washington warned:

“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence…the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government…Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite [foreign nation], are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.”

Those who think or deny our “friends” cannot or will not attempt to influence our government need only open their eyes. This is not a new problem, but one that has existed throughout history, which is why our founders left us with many warnings.

Flash forward a bit to the years after World War I. This tragic and terrible disaster left America with over 100,000 dead, and 200,000 injured. We let our “allies” goad and scare us into the war. Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh (father of the famous pilot) implored our leaders to return to the Founders’ vision:

“We had elected a president [Woodrow Wilson] for a second term because he said he ‘kept us out of war’ in his first term. We proved by a large vote that we did not want to go to war, but no sooner was the president re-elected than the propaganda started to put us to war. Then we became hysterical, as people always have done in war, and we believed everything bad against our enemy and believed only good of our allies and ourselves. As a matter of fact all the leaders were bad, vicious. They lost their reason and the people followed…”

Mark Twain is credited with the saying, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.“

It sure does.

And as Skousen muses: “Looking back, one cannot help wondering how much happier, more peaceful, and more prosperous a policy of ‘separatism’ as the world’s great peacemaker instead of ‘internationalism’ as the world’s great policeman.”

When will we have enough of death and debt?

On War and Peace this Memorial Day

“Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable.” – President John F. Kennedy

On Memorial Day, it is a perfect time to recognize how, in an age of endless wars, how far we have fallen from Kennedy’s vision.

How many wars since Kennedy’s of time have been truly “necessary” or “inevitable?”

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy didn’t win simply by a show of force. Diplomacy with Khrushchev was key to preventing nuclear war. Tulsi Gabbard writes:

“Today’s warmongers would have us believe that Kennedy was successful because he was the tough guy who went toe-to-toe, staring down Khrushchev…But the truth is that Kennedy was quietly conversing and negotiating with Khrushchev behind the scenes…Their success was rooted in real diplomacy, which requires give and take…Without diplomacy, there can be no peace. Without peace, we cannot be truly free or prosperous.”

While China has prospered and expanded its influence around the world without dropping bombs on anyone, the U.S. has spent trillions in wealth, bankrupting itself, devaluing the dollar to worthless levels, and destroying prosperity. The citizens are increasingly not fooled by the illusion of prosperity their politicians try to force upon them.

“Without any regard for the cost in human lives or taxpayer dollars, Democrat and Republican leaders have stood together, waging one regime-change war after another for decades…[and undermined] our national security and our efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.”

We’ve discussed before how North Korea won’t give up its nuclear weapons because it didn’t want to be destroyed like Libya and Iraq. We’ve seen how regime change wars fail and unite people against us. And we’ve seen the profound humanitarian disasters these wars, diplomatic failures, and economic sanctions have caused. For example:

“…the foreign policy disaster in Iraq that cost the United States trillions of dollars and the lives of nearly 4500 Americans and another 32,000 wounded…it is estimated that more than one million Iraqi people died because of the war [by 2008]. Many more would die after.”

The failure of diplomacy and the willingness to sacrifice entire nations has destroyed many countries including Syria, Libya, and Ukraine.

It is time we recognize the horrific results of heavy-handed, misguided, American-last foreign policy, both here and abroad. Take heed these words from Tulsi:

“[Politicians] tell the American people, and themselves, that their goal is so honorable and so great that the end justifies the means. If it means killing millions of people in order to ‘save’ them, then that’s what we have to do…If we must destroy the United States — or the world — in order to save it, so be it.

“We are not volunteering to be cannon fodder to fuel the profits of the military-industrial complex. We are not volunteering to be used by insecure politicians who feel the need to start wars and put us in harm’s way just to make themselves feel strong or look tough. We are not volunteering to be used as expendable pawns feeding the insatiable hunger for power and global domination of American politicians who don’t care about our Constitution, our country, or the American people.

“We need leaders who will give up the age-old colonialist mindset that has been used to justify kinetic, economic, and cultural warfare around the world, often under the guise of lofty rhetoric about humanitarianism and spreading democracy, which is really rooted in an arrogant view that we must remake the world in our image — whether people in other countries like it or not…We must respect the sovereignty of other nations just as we expect them to respect our own. Our foreign policy should not be based on isolationism; instead, recognizing that the best way to achieve peace is by building relationships with other countries — not by dropping bombs or enacting crippling sanctions…

“Our leaders must put the American people first…As citizens, as voters, we hold the answers in our hands. Who we choose to lead our country has direct consequences on the question of war and peace. With our voices, and our votes, we must hold corrupt, self-serving politicians accountable and let them know in no uncertain terms that we will not allow them to destroy us, our loved ones, and our home.”

UFOs, From a Supernatural Realm?

Note: As the government continues to push the UFO psyop, even trying to rope in pastors, to laughable, parody levels, it’s a good time to re-release part 3 of my series on this topic. Be sure to check out part 1 and part 2.

“As a professor of the history of religion, I study reports of miraculous events and afterlife worlds in Christian history. This includes sightings of ariel beings of light, miraculous flying houses…monks and nuns who levitate and bilocate…[UFOs are] similar to religion because people see things in the sky, ariel objects…[and] UFO contact events include supernatural and paranormal elements that influence people’s lives.”- Diana Pasulka, Encounters

In part 1 of this series, Are We Alone in the Universe? we looked at what is the surprising rarity of life in the universe. In part 2, Are Aliens Among Us? we examined the nonexistent information that comes out of the UFO/UAP events that seem to enter the public zeitgeist every so often. The promised “disclosure” never comes, the alleged proof never materializes.

What of the small percentage of UFOs that can’t be explained away as misidentifications, frauds, or terrestrial technology? Professor Diana Pasulka isn’t the first to note similarities to what are often classified as supernatural, paranormal, or religious experiences. Unlike what she studied in Christian history, which were largely positive experiences, some UFO experiencers she spoke to, described “intense and dark energy” or los demonios: The Demons.

This isn’t surprising, as UFOs have a long history tied to abductions, terrible dreams, abuse, and other terrors. Many debunkers try to find rational explanations, but the problem is they predefine rational as anything excluding supernatural. Our ancestors were superstitious and unscientific, supposedly. We know better, don’t we? However, should we so easily cast aside voluminous stories and experiences from countless generations? Is that rational?

Astronomer Hugh Ross, has written on the multidimensional universe in Beyond the Cosmos, which allows for the existence of entities not bound by the four-dimensional existence as we humans are. In the book he coauthored on UFOs, Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men, Hugh Ross calls the “unexplainable” UFO events RUFOs: Residual Unidentified Flying Objects. He argues evil entities are behind many of these encounters and that this is a testable claim. He has said:

“All that is necessary to further prove the conclusion of demonic involvements is to continue surveying people to ascertain who has encounters with RUFOs and who does not” and it’s not hard to find a “correlation between the degree of invitations in a persons life to demonic attacks (séance, Ouija boards, astrology, witchcraft, palm or psychic reading.”

Have we prematurely tossed the beliefs of our ancestors, thinking they knew less than us? Have we decided a priori what we want to be true?

Derek Gilbert, coauthor of The Day the Earth Stands Still, has stated, “We have been visited by inhuman human entities for thousands and thousands of years.” These have been recorded in many ancient texts and traditions. Gilbert asserts that modern RUFOs similarity to paranormal experiences are “too many to be coincidence.” These are a “spiritual, supernatural attack from the demonic realm.”

Many serious researchers explore theses events and this history in far more detail. It’s easy to dismiss things that make us uncomfortable, or we have been told cannot be true.

But what if this world truly has been at war for many millennia, and what if the greatest weapon of the enemy is to convince us none of the stories from our ancestors are true?

Many great thinkers and writers have seen through the lie. Perhaps we should take care to not easily fall to deception. We can’t win a war by pretending the enemy doesn’t exist.

We also need to be discerning in realizing much of what we see from the government on UFOs is a psyop to hide government programs, used as a distraction, or to control people. What these people above write about is something very different, and unlikely the government understands it.

In fact, they may be controlled and influenced by the very same Darkness.

Time to Rethink Economic Warfare

“Sanctions are the modern siege weapon, a way to starve nations into obedience without ever firing a bullet.” – Michael T. Lester

With recent news of blockades of Cuba and economic sanctions of Iran and Russia, I began to ask some questions:

Do economic sanctions work? Are they humane?

Asking the right questions often means asking the inconvenient questions.

Because sanctions don’t involve military operations, most people never question their effects or ethics. We’ve wielded these economic weapons for decades, but do they work?

Mostly, they do not.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union managed to maintain control over many countries for decades. The communist government of Cuba never fell. Nor did the leaders of Iran collapse. The people of these countries, however, did suffer to one degree or another. Often, quite badly.

Michael Lester writes, that in Cuba, for decades, they have endured “shortages of medicine, decaying infrastructure and limited access to technology.” In fact, documents show the goal from the beginning was to “deny money and supplies to Cuba…to bring about hunger, desperation, and the overthrow of the government.”

Bringing about hunger and desperation to get at a government? This doesn’t align with the moral values of America, yet this economic warfare is openly and often deployed without much concern. The effects are often devastating, and our leaders don’t care. Infamously, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was asked in a interview about the thousands of Iraqi children who died due to sanctions. Her reply, “We think the price is worth it.”

Shrugging off the deaths of innocents? This is profoundly troubling. This is also why these nations will hate us for generations. As I discussed recently, attacking people unites them together, regardless of who their rulers are. Sanctions hurt the citizens, not the ruling class.

What if we did the exact opposite and engaged in open economic trade with these countries? Consider Vietnam: A country we went to war with and lost thousands of soldiers in a failed attempt to stop a communist takeover. Since normalization of relations in 1995, Vietnam and the U.S. engage in hundreds of billions of dollars of trade. Thousands of American tourists visit yearly.

Is their government still communist? Yes. Do we have a peaceful and beneficial relationship with their people? Also, yes. Yet with Cuba, a nation a few miles off the Florida coast, which poses no danger to our country, it has been the target of decades of abuse.

It is time to rethink using the weapons of sanctions and embargos. They cause suffering and death, and harden people against the United States. We cannot tell others how to live or vote. We cannot destroy other nations simply because they won’t be part of our empire or let us do whatever we want in their countries.

Looking the other way as innocent people are made to suffer for reasons of empire and politics is profoundly wrong.

And profoundly un-American.
