THE BIG PICTURE

Three Horrifying Consequences Of AI That You Might Not Have Thought About – ” If it’s just a novelty and not alive, what damage could it possibly do? It’s not so much that AI will turn on us or send out an army of robots to kill us; the real danger is that we will be tricked into believing that it really is all-knowing. If we rely on such faulty tech too much it could destroy us merely by giving us bad information and making us lazy. Here are three possible consequences of AI that concern me the most; consequences which I don’t think most people have considered… The AI Hive Mind, The Dead Internet Theory and The Library Of Babel” – Brandon Smith

Was Brian Thompson going to spill the beans on Artificial Intelligence programs in Healthcare? – “UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors’ judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan. UnitedHealthcare is the worst of the worst when it comes to denying insurance claims. Meanwhile UHG was making huge kickbacks to Congress. They can’t afford to pay claims, but they can afford to do this?” – Charles Wright

The Pearl Harbor Question People Are Afraid to Ask – “Whether FDR allowed Pearl Harbor to happen is a thorny question. What’s clear is that FDR wanted the US in World War II and was looking for a casus belli. This might sound like a crazy conspiracy to some readers. I know I would have considered it such a thing at one time (albeit many years ago). But there is a ton of historical evidence to support Allman’s central claim: FDR had plenty of reasons to suspect a Japanese attack was coming—and he wanted an attack to happen.” – Jon Miltimore

The Biden Family of Liars – “Given Joe Biden’s apparently intimate involvement in Hunter’s dealings, it follows that his intent in pardoning his son is effectively to secure a pardon for himself. It is likely that the case against the Biden crime family, as various commentators have taken to calling it, is closed, but it is too early to conclude this with certainty. Biden’s pardon is perfectly legal, but a court challenge would be legal, too, if the House or another entity chose to mount one. While Biden’s intent appears in part to have been to protect himself a well as his son, it does not automatically follow that he cannot be investigated after he leaves office.” – Patrick Lawrence

Pardoning Fauci . . . Absolving Trump? – “The “media”- which used to be the press, but that was a long time ago – is atwitter with “rumors” (which when purveyed by the “media” are often deliberately engineered narratives) that the despicable old grifter who pardoned his despicable son for all criminal acts going back to 2014 – is going to pardon the far more despicable Dr. Fauci. The old grifter’s son, after all, only got away with grift. Dr. Fauci may get away with murder – literal as well as figurative, in that he arguably is the man most culpable for murdering the sanity of millions of people, no small number of them rendered chronically ill (in the head) as you can see for yourself every time you go out in public and see people still walking around with the god-damned “mask” over their faces.” – Eric Peters

Biden Regime Quietly Revokes Veterans Hiring Preference For Civil Service Jobs – “The Biden regime has quietly revoked the veterans hiring preference for civil service jobs and promotions, which since the 1944 Veterans Act gave eligible veterans preference over others for appointments in federal civil service selection,” – Debra Heine  – ANOTHER KNOCK AGAINST VETERANS FROM THE IDIOT-IN-CHIEF. I’M SURE DEI WILL BE CONSIDERED WHEN HIRING THOUGH!!!!!

Health insurers remove executive bios, images from websites after UnitedHealthcare CEO killing – “UnitedHealth, Elevance and some BCBS plans have deleted senior leadership pages from their corporate sites, while Centene and CVS scrubbed images of their executives online.” – Rebecca Pifer

Democrats suddenly embrace herd immunity – “Of course, it’s a very special form of immunity that benefits only the president’s inner circle (and those who could get him indicted). Remember those phobic and spooky days in 2020 and 2021 when Democrats and their charlatan MD/PhDs had nothing but scorn for herd immunity re Covid? My favorite is Peter Hotez, MD/PhD, pediatric vaccine and infectious disease credentialed brainiac, who was wrong about nearly everything about Covid—especially lockdowns, mask-wearing, and child-age susceptibility.Dr. Hotez and his fellow Covid cover-up co-conspirators, namely Anthony Fauci et al. should be worried about being targets of serious investigations from the new administration ” – Geoffrey P. Hunt

The reason Democrats lost in a nutshell – “It seems safe to say that the 2024 elections were a rejection of divisive identity politics. People aren’t interested in seeing themselves or others basically assigned to a group because of some superficial characteristic and they’re sick of it happening. But a lot of Democrats simply don’t understand that. ” – Tom Knighton

Trump Picks A War Cabinet – “The Trump toadies who are convinced that Donald Trump is going to “drain the swamp” and “make America great again” during his upcoming second term as president are delusional. He did neither during his first term; and he will do neither during his second term. One need only look at Trump’s appointments at the senior executive leadership level who will direct his administration to know that Trump is nothing more than more of the same—especially in matters relating to foreign policy, which is the one specific area where a president can single-handedly do the most damage.’ – Chuck Baldwin

The Blinken Cartel Is Losing Ground As His Tenure Ends – Helena Glass

Feds Accuse HelloFresh Of Employing Migrant Kids At Factory In Sanctuary State Illinois – “German meal-kit company HelloFresh, the largest meal-kit provider in the US, faces fresh accusations from the US Department of Labor of employing migrant children at a factory located in the sanctuary state of Illinois. Of course, let’s not forget that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation in 2021 that “expands protections for immigrant and refugee communities and further establishes Illinois as the most welcoming state in the nation.” Migrant children working in factories in a sanctuary state… Guess who made that possible… ” – Tyler Durden

The irony is too thick.” – Sundance

Deadly Venezuelan Gang Invades Another State – “Most recently, a top Tennessee law enforcement official confirmed that the dangerous Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, is now popping up in the state despite having strict border policies. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch warned that the gang is operating a human trafficking scheme in the state. Rausch warned other states that Tren de Aragua usually begins with human trafficking before moving to more organized retail crime. From there, the gang will engage in the drug trade, undermining public safety. ” – Sarah Arnold

France is a perfect example of centrist elites wrecking the West – “Political crises seem to be taking down Western nations one by one, their leaders clinging to hubris and showing a disdain for democracy” – Tarik Cyril Amar

Interpreting Lavrov’s Assessment Of Events In Syria From His Interview With Tucker – “Russia is keenly aware of its current military limitations in this theater and the possibility of overstretching its Aerospace Forces by suddenly redirecting them away to Syria from Ukraine precisely at the moment when it must achieve a breakthrough before Trump returns to office. That’s why Russia appears to be going all in on a political solution instead of a military one.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Insurance the #1 Consumer Fraud in America – “They charge your car insurance on the value you pay for brand new. Put in a claim, and it is suddenly depreciated, yet they continue to charge you on the original price. They NEVER reduce your car insurance in proportion to the depreciation. That is consumer fraud, and our politicians do NOTHING! Insurance companies kill people all the time. This was inevitable.” – Martin Armstrong

Trump’s Tariffs Are Coming – How Will They Affect Your Finances? – “Tariffs. President-elect Donald Trump loves them. I’m not just saying that. He has literally said that he “loves” tariffs. He’s spent the last couple weeks promising steep tariffs on day one of his presidency. Here’s how much that will cost us… ” – Peter Reagan

Paul Krugman Rides into the Sunset – “Indeed, Krugman has been influential, but his influence hasn’t been a good thing. He is a disciple of John Maynard Keynes and has played an important role in legitimizing the application of Keynesian schemes by governments to “stimulate” their economies. Given Krugman’s inability to understand the basics of economic logic, perhaps it isn’t surprising that he made the wild prediction: “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” Someone who cannot understand how production of goods drives demand for other goods most likely isn’t going to comprehend how improving pathways for information will also improve commerce. It is not surprising that regime-minded elites worshiped his every declaration. Governments were not spending too much money; they were spending too little! Those who print money hand-over-fist, who intervene in the markets to direct resources to politically-favored winners are the real public benefactors. Those who question the wisdom of untrammeled government spending are the true enemies of the people.” – William L. Anderson

Reasons Why We Store Food – “There are many reasons why we store food. Here’s a list of practical, sensible reasons to have your own food storage. Some reasons are quite obvious. I list a few other reasons that may seem fairly unlikely to some people, but I would take it seriously. It makes so much sense to store food. ” – Ken Jorgustin

How Did Our Ancestors Stay Warm All Winter? – “Depending on the location of your homestead, winter can mean two very different things. Either winter is a dip in temperature that requires pants instead of shorts, or it’s a downright frigid time when going outside involves a lot of preparation.” – Kristina Phelan

My Grandpa Taught Me This – “I was blessed by grandparents who survived the Great Depression and many lean years in the wilderness. Several of my uncles lived off the grid most of their lives, and my great-grandfather was one of the last mountain men. Each of them handed down nuggets of wisdom that have been passed down to me and now to my daughter. To help you refine your survival strategy I thought I would pass along some of the things my grandpa and others taught me.” – Eric Beuning

Selco’s Stories from an SHTF Christmas – ” Have you ever thought about what an SHTF Christmas would be like after an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it event? I’m not talking about a minor issue that just affects a few people, but a full-on disaster that changes everything.” – Daisy Luther
