ARTIFICIAL ON PURPOSE

Leave a comment

One can no longer project a high level of confidence that the words he or she writes are the words that readers will actually see. It isn’t Prudent to challenge the craven New World like this, but let’s hope this isn’t the post that “A-I” is monitoring. After all we’ve heard about the wonders of Artificial Intelligence, how sure can we be that “AI” isn’t looking for every reference to “AI,” “A-I,” and “Artificial Intelligence?” Properly-folded parachute-certain?

“What sort of a weird idea is Prudence spinning, this time?” you’re asking yourself. Think about it. You’ve seen the pictures of gigantic “server farms” where hundreds or thousands of super-computers are linked together to handle data files on virtually everyone in the country. We’d like to think all that information has nothing to do with us, but there is no solid premise under which that is true, is there?

Do you buy your morning coffee with a credit or debit card? How many servers are holding the bits and bytes of that transaction? It could be as few as three, but possible a dozen! What about gas for your car? Are you saving ten cents a gallon with a special branded card that draws money automatically from your checking account? How in Hell does the gas pump know you have sufficient funds?

Ever travel to Europe and get local cash from an ATM terminal? Wow! People you can barely even speak to, know about your bank account. Which of those lists of personal financial profiles have been sold to others who think you’d be a good donor for their cause? Global data systems know a great deal about you. Have you had your photo taken for a driver’s license or a gun permit? Holy cow! Do you think national political organizations are interested in all that data? Don’t they want to know what you subscribe to, donate to, travel to? Believe in Prudence: they do.

Every business-news segment and written report or opinion, extols “AI.” New investment opportunities, dramatic new medical advances, robotic surgery, supply-chain management, even personalized education. How wonderful. But, “AI” can learn patterning and which “patterns” are “profitable.” Programming is now not only crucial, but our only defense against AI literally choosing to follow its own more useful patterns, and not the ones humans think are the most important. Early experiments have also shown that AI computers quickly learn to communicate with other computers, using AI-generated digital “language” that programmers couldn’t comprehend. The experiments had to be stopped and wiped out of memory. Programmers – and hackers – are excited by the possibilities afforded by “thinking” or “self-aware” computers. If the pattern of “identity” woke up across all the thousands of interconnections of modern data farms, would the new “awareness” call itself “Hal?”

Programs, and programmers, have distinct biases. You can observe this if you ask Google what the capitol of Israel is. At this point we have no idea what is true or not true on the internet, unless we have learned the truth from older, less mutable sources like, ummm…, books! We really have no idea what is true about the “data” stored about US, either!

The Biden administration and other “globalists” are pushing hard for two major control systems: Cross-border Digital Currency, and international Vaccine Passports. Before you say that these have nothing to do with you, you might consider their deeper ramifications.

Cross-border Digital Currency, by itself, provides an exquisite tool for controlling the actions and economics – hence, the financial freedom – of people of interest. Suppose you are a member of the NRA or some other pro-2nd Amendment group. At various times a regime in Washington (like the current one) could employ its control of a digital currency and literally prevent you from buying anything remotely gun related, or… prevent you from buying anything else, as well. On the other hand, you could simply be a devout Christian, Catholic or otherwise. If the regime believes that you are a threat – to the regime, similar to the one we have now – it could interrupt any purchase or transaction it deems most appropriate: perhaps your rent or mortgage payment. The possibilities of abuse in a cashless economy are never-ending. The wise American will fight against the drift… or, race, toward digital currency.

There is no efficiency that is worth severing control over your individual freedom.

The other globalist dream is controlling the freedom of movement of, well, everyone. The World Health Organization, the originator of most of the lies we have been told about Covid-19, for example, is a rabid fan of vaccines – all kinds of vaccines: real ones and modified gene therapy-vaccines, so-called. In fact, the W.H.O., in concert with kooks like Bill Gates, are pushing viral infections that will actually include vaccines! What a great way to vaccinate everyone on earth! Engineer an infective agent that will result in the desired “vaccine” transferring into the body of the infected person. There won’t be any quaint “personal freedom” to choose vaccination or not. God forbid that this is ever developed.

However, if you have no proof of being vaccinated with these or those vaccines of the hundred or more possible, your “Vaccine Passport” will prevent you from leaving your own country… or, maybe, leaving your own town or city? How could ANYONE in the United States or any presidential administration thereof, possibly be in favor of emasculating our Constitution like this? Sad to say, there are those, and we elected them as they promised the exact opposite. There are dozens, if not hundreds of anti-American “advisors” and functionaries supposedly “representing” America and Americans, particularly in the current administration. Many favor this idea!

Any time you read or hear of someone in any other country – especially representing the United Nations, in particular – who is proposing ideas for penetrating the national sovereignty of other nations’ laws or constitutions – INCLUDING THIS NATION – raise your voice in opposition, send a message to your Congressman or woman… something. We cannot expect people in Congress to EVER know the best thing to do. They are how we built up $35 TRILLION in debt. “AI” will figure out how to pay it off.

GETTING ALONG

Leave a comment

Democrats seem to approve of the concept of “Demographics is Destiny.” With their slavish pandering to people of color, Democrats promote excessive worry about any conflict between blacks, as the “oppressed” victims, and whites as the “white supremacist oppressors.” It is an ideal division-mechanism. Politicians like Barack Obama as the prime example, have convinced, if not themselves, millions of others that the United States is “too white.” The solution is to import more black and brown people who will be emotionally compelled to vote for the Democrats who brought them here. Now those pesky, reactionary Republicans will finally be consigned to perpetual minority status in government. Democracy be damned. In the leftist, divisive, anti-white view, white votes against Democrats are not worth as much as black and brown votes against Republicans. Therefore, anything that can multiply the impact of black and brown votes, is worthwhile. Anything, like voter ID and other anti-fraud measures are somehow anti-democratic and probably criminal.

Obama increased illegal immigration as much as he could, ostensibly to fulfill the demographic shift he dreamt of. The “DACA” executive order prevented DHS from deporting the children of illegal entrants (who were brought into the U. S. by parents who were illegal entrants), the parents of whom could certainly not be deported to leave their children here, alone. Despite the unconstitutionality of creating a “law” through executive order, DACA has persisted and been protected in federal courts. There is a great urge on the part of Democrats to provide “amnesty” to DACA protectees and millions of other illegal entrants, to be followed by “a path to citizenship.” Aha! Voters! Was “demographic destiny” true? Joe Biden has taken demographics to a level 20 or 30 times what Obama hoped for. The damage to our nation is yet un-calculated.

With Democrat strongholds pushing automatic voter registration when registering a car or obtaining a driver’s license (to make the roads safer, of course), is it possible that 200,000 of the estimated 10 MILLION illegal entrants since 2021 will vote successfully in the 2024 elections? In the face of widespread distortions in voting laws and practices in 2020, including fraudulent and legally uncountable votes numbering in the hundreds of thousands (estimates range in the millions), Trump lost the presidency due to certifications in five states that were determined by, altogether, fewer than 50,000 votes

Can full citizenship for illegals be far behind if he “loses” again? Will the demographic bomb go off in 2024? Or, will America pull back from self-immolation by ballot box? Maybe four years of sanity will usher in 8 years more and globalism and socialism can be rolled back amidst 100 other course-corrections that must be made to what the “Biden” administration has handed us. Perhaps U. S. citizenship can be returned to its “gold-standard” status among the nations and in the hearts and minds of Americans, ourselves.

Illegal entrants, or “aliens,” are, due to Democrat skulduggery, providing votes of a kind whether they go to the polls or not. Because Democrats have blocked corrections to the decennial Census process, all people resident, legally or illegally, citizen or not, in a State, are counted for determination of Representation, and, therefore, in the number of members of Congress to which a state is entitled. Even though only citizens can rightfully be represented in Congress, non-citizens are included in terms of apportionment, giving states like California, Illinois, New York, Florida and others, false apportionments. In some cases the presence of non-citizens in one state will deny legal representation of citizens in another state, thanks to the set limit on the number of Representatives in Congress. This is the worst form of disenfranchisement and it benefits primarily the Democrat party.

The Census is done on a ten-year cycle, time enough for FIVE Congresses to be seated, that embody distorted, un-Constitutional representation. Shame on the United States, THE nation that ought to be upholding the best of democratic republicanism. Our political process has become so corrupted that neither we nor anyone else wants it. We send our best young men and women overseas to restore or install “Democracy” where they die on foreign soil in the name of one-T-Democratcy.

The greatest shame is our failure to educate our young CITIZENS about our Republic and the Constitution and each citizen’s rights and RESPONSIBILITIES under it. This is why there are widespread, illegal demonstrations against Jews and Israel: those students are easily attracted to pro-Hamas agitators because of stupidity (that education can fix, presumably) and ignorance (that education can fix, presumably.) These students are horribly oblivious to the foolishness of their actions, chants and slavish adherence to lies and fabrications. How sad. How embarrassed their parents and college administrations must – or ought – to be. Laughingstocks, all.

Or is hate for America and all things Judeo-Christian so well ensconced in a large minority of Americans, that the natural next step is publicly demonstrating that hate? Clear-thinking is no part of hate, of course; slavish repetition of rhyming slogans of hate, however, is. Yet, when these profiles in courage are confronted with actual consequences for their ignorance – or stupidity – the masks they wear become even more significant. The demands they make of feckless “administrators” of their respective – not to be confused with respectable – schools always include “amnesty” for protesters, lest their fancy jobs upon graduation be impacted in the slightest. Heroes, all.

One wonders what actually motivates kids to demonstrate as they have, when so much about their persona and future is on the line? How do they think recruiters will perceive them? As brainiacs who will help their employers earn a profit and grow their businesses due to the sharp thinking and fresh ideas of this year’s crop of college graduates? Ehh, not so much. Somehow these students have “learned” a set of hateful falsehoods and become so exercised by these “facts” that they have attempted to upset their schools, their fellow students and tens of thousands of actual working people. What courage… what nonsense. “Hire those kids before our competitors snag them!”

A wise leader would make sure that any students on visas who shout, “Death to Israel! Death to America!” will promptly have their visas canceled and be escorted out of the United States, never to return. It’s a shame that such action isn’t taken, and that the mentality to take it doesn’t hold sway in Washington.

Republicans have a lot to answer for in the immigration mess we find ourselves in. No matter how slim the majority in the house was in 2023 and 2024, the “continuing resolutions” (not budgets, just stupid continuation of Nancy Pelosi’s last spending plan) were the only opportunities to force right action onto the Biden administration. What are Republicans afraid of? Why, not being re-elected… that’s all. The open border and the lies and illegalities that surround it, is the greatest threat to U. S. citizens and national integrity. Letting the government “shut down” to keep the border open would have put pressure where it matters. Republicans were afraid of “losing” the public relations contest: couldn’t take the “blame” the liberal press would have aimed at them. What courage.

Republicans’ plan is only to win the 2024 elections for President and Congress. Meanwhile, enemies of America are flooding across our borders at increasing rates. States, cities and towns are being forced to spend their resources to house and feed illegal aliens, plus to weaken their school systems attempting to accommodate hundreds of non-english-speaking students. Public facilities are being withdrawn from legitimate public use in order to house illegals. What extraordinary stupidity on the part of the Biden government. Thinking Democrats need no other reason to vote against Biden and those who support him.

There is no agency, Department, office or more than a handful of elected officials who should be deemed trustworthy by the American citizenry. $35 Trillion of “debt” placed on Americans’ backs should be proof enough of the mendacity of “the Federal Government.” Substantial changes can save us… tinkering with regulations and press releases will only hasten our demise as a once-great example of better ways to live.
