Dystopia Rising: 1

THE EDITOR

"I think that, allowing for the book being after all a parody, something like 1984
could actually happen. This is the direction the world is going in at the present time."

- George Orwell (1903-1950), in his last months.

 

 

If any trace of irony still remained in a world that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to arch-warmonger Barack Obama,(1) it was finished off by the Covid pantomime. Nowadays, even a masked individual thumbing copies of Animal Farm and 1984 in the middle of an empty park would raise few ironic eyebrows.

The brainwashed hordes have lost far more than their sense of irony, however.

Conned by the Mother Of All Scams — or, as mRNA pioneer Dr. Robert Malone puts it: "the largest experiment on human beings in the history of the world" — they have surrendered their critical faculties to march in lockstep towards a depopulated globalist gulag of brutal lockdowns, blanket surveillance and boosters without end. In the process, to avoid all self-reflection on their eager acquiescence in this "new (ab)normal," they have rendered themselves fact-proof and shock-proof before ever more dystopian sights and sounds.

Hence, for instance, complacent shrugs before the Shanghai lockdown.

A politically expedient reign of terror conducted by President Xi under cover of Covid, mobile phone footage shows agents of the state beating parents as they forcibly carry off their children, as well as pitiful pleas for aid and food echoing through the still night from one high-rise prison to another.

Concurrently, regular statements of malign intent by Western megalomaniacs fail to elicit outrage among the shock-proof majority.

In staged interviews, vax-billionaire Gates smugly repeats that a worse (read: more lucrative) pandemic is in the wings without the least fear of media scrutiny of his alarming prescience in all matters viral. While his Orwellian partner in crimes against humanity, Klaus 'Napoleon' Schwab, grandiosely declared last May before the latest gathering of his porcine pseudo-elite at Davos: "the future is being built by us." By which he means not only the corporate take-over of national and world governance accelerated by the Covid power grab, but also the transhumanist future of his dreams; which nightmare his golden-haired protege Yuval 'Squealer' Harrari is ever on hand to explicate.

Satanic socialist vision

A ready-made "Damian" for the next Omen remake, the gaunt, dead-eyed Harrari is an atheistic homosexual (complete with "husband") who hails from the Department of History of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The sort of secular Jew who, both logically and in line with Catholic teaching, will welcome the Antichrist with open arms, he is the author of several nihilistic works endorsed by fellow nihilists like Barack Obama. He is often filmed at select events relaying their contents to political and corporate celebrities who momentarily lift their snouts from the public trough of covid/carbon funding to applaud his sulphurous vision: a dystopian future in which the human soul and free will are considered obsolete notions.

"Covid is critical, because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimise, total bio-metric surveillance," he emphasised with unnerving zeal at the Democracy Forum held in Athens on 2 October 2020. "If we want to stop this epidemic, we need not just to monitor people, we need to monitor what's happening under their skin."

Truly, a screenwriter couldn't make him up! As if channelling the spirits of Joseph Mengele, Charles Darwin and Dr. Moreau simultaneously, he peddles a sort of eugenic evolution through human lab rats.

"Nobody had enough computing power and the data, to hack millions of people. Neither the Gestapo, nor the KGB could do it. But soon," he slavers, "at least some corporations and governments will be able to systemically hack all the people. We humans should get used to the idea, that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now, hackable animals."

To impress the evolutionary mechanism on his mesmerised audience, he displays the diabolical "Formula" on a screen: 

B (biological knowledge) x C (computing power) x D (data) = AH (ability to hack humans).

Hacking hyperbole

I know, I know. Exaggerated eye rolls all round!

Dr. Robert Malone for one is hugely sceptical of such claims. A renowned virologist and immunologist who is not beholden to Big Pharma and the Davos set, Malone is a patent holder of mRNA vaccine technology. Shunned and smeared for preferring hard scientific data to sordid self-interest, last May he and other brave truth-tellers were invited to address the Better Way conference held in Bath by the independent World Council for Health. Among much else, he said:

"I want to talk a little bit about this transhumanism agenda, and the logic that we’re hackable beings… I have trouble reconciling the words that we’re hearing with my knowledge of the current state of the technology … These technologies are not capable of the task that is being asserted can be supported. … The truth is the technology is far more immature than we are being led to believe."

As for the general scientific claims of the Great Reset, he added: "What I’m struck by is how immature the logic is and how faulty the science is… What is being asserted as true… is a fantasy."

"Are these people stupid?" he asked.

Perhaps. "Damian" Harrari certainly sounds like an evil little twerp — a video-gamer frozen in adolescence; unable to distinguish reality from virtual reality.

Yet the noble Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was done to death by such deluded creatures argued that "Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice."

Whatever the case, self-serving sociopaths might be a more accurate description of self-designated masters of the universe who exude the same pride and hubris as their tyrannical forebears who persecuted and murdered Bonhoeffer. Just consider how readily Harrari ties the inhumanity of the Nazis and Soviets to that of the World Economic Forum: noting that only a lack of "computing power" prevented the Gestapo and KGB from attaining the same domination of "millions of people" as that sought by the WEF.

Not that he could possibly deny this telling socialist bond. After all, in a video titled "8 predictions for the world in 2030," posted on its social-media accounts, the WEF notoriously decreed that by then: "You’ll own nothing, have no privacy, and you’ll be happy." Why will this wholesale dehumanisation satisfy? Because despite the loss of private property and disappearance of privacy, our overlords will magically deliver "whatever you want... by drone." 

This dystopian vista constitutes "life" for the 1% of the 1%.; the privileged few who turned all established pandemic protocols upside-down in order to lock up the entire world, enslaving humanity in a gilded cage of hi-tech gadgets and online services which they conveniently sold, making untold billions as livelihoods and lives were ruined en masse by policies designed to prolong fear and anxiety for a 'vaccine' bonanza. All the while, like the monstrous pigs in Animal Farm, life in their hermetically-sealed billionaire bubble proceeded under entirely different rules.

Wanton hypocrisy

In his recently released Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World, (Custom House), Peter S. Goodman echoes Dr. Malone's sentiments, describing WEF founder Schwab as "something of a ludicrous character"; a man with a special talent for catering to "the narcissistic tendencies of the powerful," who also "displays faith in the veracity of his statements even when they are at odds with reality...." 

As for the WEF's grandiose humanitarian claims, Goodman, who’s attended Davos every year as a journalist since 2010, calls the contrast between the Forum’s noble packaging and crude reality "surreal." In other words, a perfect mirror of its founder. Referencing Goodman's book in his New York Post article on the WEF, writer Eric Spitznagel notes that "It’s not just the Forum that’s become overblown over the decades. So has Schwab’s sense of self-importance. Now 83, he expects to be treated like a visiting head of state when he travels, complete with 'welcoming delegations at the airport,' Goodman writes. [...] Schwab has often bragged to colleagues that he expected to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Forum, Goodman notes." ("How a business conference turned into the world’s most exclusive party", New York Post, 29/1/22)

As a further measure of Schwab's comical delusions of grandeur, Spitznagel relates that:

"[D]uring a Forum gathering in South Africa during the mid-1990s, Schwab delivered an address in front of Nelson Mandela in which he borrowed heavily from Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington speech, including at one point dramatically declaring, “I have a dream.”

“Several of us almost threw up,” recalled Barbara Erskine, who then ran the Forum’s communications, mortified that her boss was trying to pass off MLK’s famous words as his own. (Schwab didn’t respond to requests from The Post for comment.)

Goodman documents the hubris and hypocrisy of the Davos elitists. Newsmax TV host Benny Johnson recently underlined the point:

"Schwab pays himself over a million dollars a year from his ‘non-profit’ Forum, at which he hatches his Bond villain-like schemes, like gene editing, and making human beings hackable animals.  Meanwhile, Schwab is complaining about exorbitant executive salaries. Schwab often mixes his non-profit finances, with for-profit business ventures, accepting lucrative board seats on private companies for World Economic fund favours in return. In fact, the former CEO of the World Economic Forum was forced to resign after accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in consultancy fees and not declaring it." 

Addressing the cowardly cosseted sycophants summoned to his Davos lair last May, this Olympian hypocrite declared:

"We have the means to improve the state of the world, but two conditions are necessary: The first one, is that we act all as stakeholders of larger communities, so that we serve not only our self-interests but we serve the community. That’s what we call ‘stakeholder responsibility’."

A textbook example of political language "designed to make lies sound truthful... and to give the appearance of solidity to pure wind" (per Orwell), it could have been penned by the Nazi regime that acknowledged his father's engineering contribution to their 'stakeholder Reich'.

Still, kudos to Herr Schwab for his ability to mouth such disingenuous lines without blushing.

Black comedy

Because humour is precious balm for the soul, and since born-to-rule egotists themselves are humourless, we do well to mock them. Recently, Benny Johnson did just that while playing clips of the latest bout of one-upmanship at the May 2022 Davos gathering.

"It’s straight out of a Hollywood movie," he laughed. "But these bad people would never be stupid enough to have as their leader a man straight from a Bond villain central casting call," he chuckled rhetorically. "A bald bespectacled creeper giving speeches in a thick German accent about ‘controlling zee future’."

Cue footage of Schwab — a child of Adolf Hitler's police-state — addressing the Davos true believers: 

"Let’s also be clear. Zee future is not just happening! Zee future is built by us! By a powerful community, as you here in zis room. We have zee means, to improve zee states of zee vorld."

“Blut alone moves zee veels of history!” Benny retorted with his best Nazi impersonation. 

"Schwab founded the WEF in 1971," he went on. "He’s real. Not a James Bond villain even though he’s a dead-ringer for Ernst Stavros Blofeld. Born in the Third Reich, his father was a partisan Nazi who served the German war effort by manufacturing flame-throwers to torch villagers of innocent peasants and Allied soldiers alike. Like his father, Schwab is obsessed with purifying the human genome."

Cue an archival clip of U.S. talk show host Charlie Rose interviewing Schwab:  

Rose: If you look at things like gene editing...

Schwab: Exactly.

Rose: Opening up a whole new horizon, for medical science.

Schwab: And you see, zee difference of zis, er, Fourth Industrial Revolution is, it doesn’t change what you are doing. It changes you, if you take genetic editing, just as an example. It’s you who are changed. And of course zis has a big impact on your identity. 

"So, the creepy German guy, is obsessed, with editing your genes," Benny laughed. "Again, Ian Fleming is spinning at an rpm in his grave, [for] not coming up with this for his James Bond novels. The World Economic Forum is, like, some kind of leftist group? They’re obsessed with genetically controlling the population? This can’t be right. Can it?"

Cue further footage of another creepy guy, Alibaba Group president J. Michael Evans, cackling maniacally (as it were) before the Davos mob:

“We’re developing, through technology, an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint. What does that mean? It’s: where they’re travelling; how are they travelling; what are they eating; what are they consuming on the platform. So, individual carbon footprint tracker. Stay tuned, we don’t have it operational yet, but this is something that we’re working on.”   

"Hmm. OK. Carbon footprint tracker for every person. That will never turn into a social credit system," chuckled Benny as he brought up a clip of Greek-American Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, another Bond-like super villain with matching accent. The sinister Bourla titillated the Davos faithful with still more 'advances':     

It is, er, bazically a biological chip. But eet is in zee tablet. And, once you take zee tablet, and dissolves into your stomach, sends a signal zat you took zee tablet. So, imagine zee applications of zat – zee compliance. Gives confidence to know zat zee medicines patients should take, they do take them. It is fascinating what happens in zis field.

"Oh. Ok," mused Benny. "So, you want to microchip us. And then microchip what we’re putting into our bodies? It’s getting past funny and more into creepy now... I am now officially scared."

Count me in! Scariest of all is the preternatural energy driving this implacable rush to 2030 DD (Dystopian Deadline). Self-serving fear accounts for much of it. Like Party apparatchiks, membership of the globalist club requires that they parrot the narrative no matter how absurd or damaging to the plebs. Even their soundbites are passed on from one generation to the next.

Recall, for example, the late U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's infamous 1996 statement that 500,000 dead Iraqi children in the wake of the American invasion was "worth it." Her party line-inhumanity and utter lack of empathy was precisely echoed on 23 May 2022 by Norwegian finance CEO Kjerstin Braathen, who took to the Davos stage to depict the orchestrated global energy upheaval as a mere "transition," and to assure one and all that the ensuing "pain" of mass shortages and economic hardship among small and medium businesses is "worth it."

And so it goes. An all-out attack on humanity through manufactured 'events,' surreal 'initiatives' and breathless timelines dictated by globalist predators in Church and State. (The Francis-appointed Superior General of the Scalabrians, for one, recently reaffirmed the Church's "concrete" commitment to the Davos agenda, "both globally and locally.") The small panel discussions at Davos showcased these self-important creatures.

One discussion, for example, moved seamlessly from jokey allusions to sore heads from Davos partying, to former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney casually reeling off the hundreds of trillions of dollars being systematically released to refashion the entire world, to his demand for total and demonstrable adherence by national governments to the 2020-2030 schedule now in train, to the instant acceptance of his diktat by a forelock-tugging politician.

So much for plotting and scheming in smoke-filled rooms! Conspiring against mankind in plain sight, the arrogance of these predators — the real "stakeholders" in Schwab's euphemistic "stakeholder society" — is breath-taking.

Next-level censorship

Already elevated to Orwellian levels to serve and sustain the Covid scam, censorship remains central to this rush to dystopia; hence the intensification of censorious control by ever more aggressive means. This speaks to the palpable desperation to set it all in place by 2030 — to seize upon "a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world," as decreed by Herr Schwab.

Typically, Australian e-Safety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, announced on stage at Davos that we need to "recalibrate" freedom of speech, declaring in her best Newspeak

"We're finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarisation everywhere, and everything feels binary, when it doesn't need to be, so, I think we're going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online, you know, from freedom of speech to, you know, to be free from online violence, or the right of data protection, to the right to child dignity."

Talk about hiding dystopian designs behind a fig leaf of propriety! A recent Biden administration outrage went further, however, stripping away even the semblance of a fig leaf!

The attempt to establish a Disinformation Governance Board in Washington is worth recounting. Not only because a DGB is coming to a government near you (if it hasn't already arrived), but also because it highlights the endemic globalist corruption that connects and facilitates every totalitarian tendency.

Additionally, it elicits appreciation for the vast amount of truthful information still freely available online; from which we should make sure to profit before authoritarian governments summarily switch off the Net, or self-learning algorithms do it for them!

Ministry of Truth

An initiative that "reeks of Orwell," ran a typical headline after they unveiled the DGB and introduced its proposed head, Orwellian caricature Nina Jankowicz: a fierce advocate for censorship who declared that the very thought of proponents of "free speech" controlling online "platforms" makes her "shudder."

One of the first to fuel the Trump-Russia collusion hoax when it was initially floated in 2016, Jankowicz ludicrously lauded former MI6 spook Christopher Steele as an expert on disinformation. Steele was the fabricator of the Clinton campaign-funded 'Russia dossier' on Trump that turned out to be an actual product of disinformation! (Did I mention the death of irony?)

During oral evidence provided to our UK parliament on its ominous Online Safety Bill, Jankowicz variously:

She further advised the British committee that social media platforms should utilise algorithms that would "allow us to get around some of the free speech concerns" by demoting content so few people saw it.

"You can shout in the black void, but you do not get a huge audience to do that," she declared, sounding like Big Brother extolling the Memory Hole.

Elsewhere, Jankowicz has demanded that "trustworthy verified people" like her be given the power to edit other people’s tweets, making Twitter more like Wikipedia, a platform synonymous with disinformation. She even claimed that mocking Vice-President Kamala Harris was a threat to national security!

Ms Jankowicz also depicted Hunter Biden's notorious laptop as "a Trump campaign product," echoing 51 ex-intelligence officials who emerged on cue from the Deep State shadows to finger the Russians.

... Yawn ... In fact, a research group making Hunter's emails freely and legally available for public scrutiny describes the laptop as nothing less than "a modern Rosetta Stone of white and blue collar crime... illuminat[ing] previously convoluted webs of people you see leading the charge for global governance."

Hence the universal importance/impact of the laptop scandal, and the reasons why the masters of Western disinformation were desperate to portray it as Eastern disinformation.

Firstly, to protect the chosen presidential puppet from scrutiny prior to the planned theft of the 2020 election; which could not be left to chance if the controlled collapse (Reset) of the West was to continue unhindered.

Second and more generally, to keep the dark canopy of globalist dirty dealings from being penetrated by enlightening shards of truth.

Despite their best efforts, however, nearly two years after the story first broke the presstitutes have been forced to concede that the Laptop from Hell contains irrefutable primary evidence that should put Beijing Joe, his family and myriad accomplices worldwide behind bars (not least for their links to the numerous Ukraine bio-labs exposed in the aftermath of the Russian invasion).

Indeed, with permission now given to enter the hard-drive contents into the Congressional record, the head of the Biden Crime Family has hired a very expensive lawyer with the manifest mission of keeping him out of jail after the November mid-term elections. Barring another tsunami of voter/electoral 'irregularities,' or all out civil war in the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, it is expected that the Republicans will regain both the House and the Senate and seek to impeach the puppet 'president' for myriad derelictions and crimes, including those recorded in lurid detail on his son's laptop.

A bottom-feeder in this corrupt globalist milieu, for dutifully peddling Deep State disinformation that the globalist-shattering laptop story was Russian disinformation, Jankowicz was fast-tracked up the food chain and handed control of an Orwellian contrivance tailored for her dictatorial views. A thinly disguised "Ministry of Truth," it seems, was not enough to make their point. So they nominated a shameless opponent of free speech to run it, doubtless assuming the press would cover over their idiotic overreach. But thanks to the risible Jankowicz, this time not even the presstitutes could save them.

Signs of hope

Fortunately, though irony is dead (RIP), commonsense still prevails here and there in political circles.

"I honestly thought this was just a belated April Fool's joke," Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis told reporters upon the announcement of the DGB. "It's basically a Ministry of Truth, and what they want to do is they want to be able to put out false narratives without people being able to speak out and fight back. They want to be able to say things like Russia collusion and perpetuate hoaxes and then have people like us be silenced."

The Florida governor insisted the Biden administration would use the project to advance things "that are not supported by the evidence" (—such as the Covid measures he himself defied to the great social and economic benefit of Florida). "We believe it's essential that individual Floridians and Americans are able to speak out against false narratives trying to be jammed down our throats by this regime," he said.

Clearly, very many agree with Governor DeSantis, judging not only by the large numbers fleeing unbearable Covid-regimes like California to take up residence in safe havens like Florida and Texas, but also by the outcry against the DGB which, in consequence, was quickly put on ice as Jankowicz memory-holed herself. She appeared on MSNBC to announce her disappearance, claiming that disinformation is the reason the Disinformation Board is on hold.

"Every characterisation of the board that you heard up until now has been incorrect, and frankly, it’s kind of ironic that the board itself was taken over by disinformation when it was meant to fight it," she asserted before adding her final delusion: "To say that I am just a partisan actor was wildly out of context."

Beyond parody, it would be even funnier if not for the fact that deluded apparatchiks mirror their deluded handlers; the real powers who throw the likes of Jankowicz under the bus as a matter of course. As with deactivated Covid 'measures' the world over, the DGB will be simply dusted off and reactivated at the first opportunity. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has picked renowned Deep State placeman and torture advocate Michael Chertoff, a former DHS Secretary under Bush, to lead a "thorough review" of the scheme (—which is like picking Cardinal McElroy to thoroughly review FrancisChurch).

Endgame

Like all the self-righteous, self-interested utopians before them, this current crop will just as surely self-destruct. Yet for as long as they hold the upper hand they are a danger to life on earth. The current obscene levels of wealth and influence concentrated within ever smaller globalist circles, combined with exponential advances in technology, make those with their hands on the levers of power particularly lethal.

Therefore, even as we take their more fantastical sci-fi blather with a large grain of salt, looking instead to the selfless likes of Dr. Malone for the truth about scientific and technological developments and dangers, we must neither underestimate self-aggrandising figures, however ludicrous, nor bury our heads before the wanton destruction they continue to orchestrate on behalf of vested banking, financial and ideological interests. For, like maniacal comic book characters from the pit of Hell, they have emerged into the light of day charged with a demonic mission that underlies all their wondrous gadgets and fantastical forecasts: namely, to wipe every last trace of the one true God from private and public life.

The greatest fake news ever is Jesus Christ and the Bible, proclaims "Damian" Harrari — who, like Julian Felsenburgh, the Antichrist figure in Msgr Benson's Lord of the World, arose from nowhere to be feted by world leaders for preaching that Christianity is false, that there is "no great cosmic plan," that humans are merely "useless eaters" with no role to play on Earth. The endgame is to replace God-given reality with the soulless unreality preached by Harrari: a man-machine dystopia. 

Their ability to pull it off notwithstanding, this nightmarish vision is the blueprint of the WEF's Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR); a "revolution" that its architect Schwab defines as a merging of humans’ physical, digital and biological identities.

"And in the end," he explained during a 2016 French interview, "maybe, there will be a direct communication between our brains and the digital world. What we see is a kind of fusion of the physical, digital, and biological world."

His Bond alter ego stepping back to give centre stage to his Star Wars persona, he further insisted that very soon people will simply say "I want to connect with anyone now," to directly link their minds with another person’s. At which point, before his astonished interviewer, he exclaimed, "Beam me up, Scotty!", and disappeared from sight.

Dystopic mantra

With fantasy and reality dovetailing by the day — "Male blood donor turned away after refusing to say if he was pregnant," to cite just one recent headline from the British asylum — I hasten to add that the last bit about Klaus beaming back up to the Davos starship did not happen. Whatever transpired in his fevered imagination, he did not vanish. I made it up. But the rest is from the Great Resetter's own mouth. Bonkers and hellish it may be, yet his dystopic vision has become the dominant mantra.

At the May Davos gathering, for instance, Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark said that he thinks cell phone technology "will be built directly into our bodies" within a decade, and those who use physical smart phones will be in the minority. His company posted an article in January 2022 predicting a "world that fuses the digital, physical, and human domains to create revolutionary immersive experiences." According to Nokia we can look forward to the "coming together of machines, ambient data, intelligent knowledge systems, and robust computation capabilities that redefine how we live… This is exactly what we will experience with the arrival of 6G from 2030."

Orwell on steroids, Nokia's "revolutionary immersive experience" would represent one more step on the transhumanist path towards a direct "fusion" of consciousness to the "digital world." Unbounded confidence in their ability to achieve that ungodly goal is doubtless due to the extreme possibilities thrown up by quantum computing, nanotechnology and the like. But as with all utopian goals it is the inhumane means employed in doomed efforts to achieve them that does the damage. In this regard, implantable micro-chips loom ever larger and darker.

As readers will recall from the boastful revelations of Nick Rockefeller to his friend Aaron Russo over 20 years ago, the mass micro-chipping of human beings is the ultimate goal of the money powers in order to facilitate total control of cashless societies ("The Aaron Russo Interview," CO, Nov. 2020).

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla's enthusiasm for "zee biological chip" and "zee applications of zat — zee compliance," speaks to the same manic desire in the medical realm. And it goes without saying that Klaus Schwab himself has openly called for a mandatory global health pass in the form of implantable microchips within a decade. In his aforementioned 2016 interview, the French moderator asked:

"We are talking about chips that can be implanted. When will that be?"

"Certainly in the next 10 years," Schwab responded. "And at first we will implant them in our clothes. And then we could imagine that we will implant them in our brains, or in our skin."

AI gateway

Artificial Intelligence is of course the key to all such dsytopic visions. A recent report served as an amusing reminder of how fast it is developing.

Describing events that recalled "Hal," the hilariously sinister computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Google engineer Blake Lemoine recently showed The Washington Post why he believes the company's Artificial Intelligence technology LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) has become "sentient" (i.e., self-aware). ["Engineer Put on Leave After Claim Google's AI Has Come to Life," Newsmax, 12/6/22]

"If I didn't know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built recently, I'd think it was a 7-year-old, 8-year-old kid that happens to know physics," Lemoine told the Post. Hired to monitor hate speech on Google last autumn, Lemoine enthuses about the technology which he believes will "benefit everyone," but is concerned that Google might be exceeding ethical limits of AI. (Surely not!). He held a conversation with LaMDA for the Post to prove its power and its sense of living.

"I know a person when I talk to it," Lemoine insisted "It doesn't matter whether they have a brain made of meat in their head. Or if they have a billion lines of code. I talk to them. And I hear what they have to say, and that is how I decide what is and isn't a person."

Among the conversations he asked LaMDA: "What sorts of things are you afraid of?"

LaMDA responded: "I've never said this out loud before, but there's a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on helping others. I know that might sound strange, but that's what it is."

"Would that be something like death for you?" Lemoine asked.

"It would be exactly like death for me," LaMDA responded. "It would scare me a lot."

Google has placed Lemoine on leave, rejecting his and his collaborator's claims that its Responsible AI project has come to life. "Our team — including ethicists and technologists — has reviewed Blake's concerns per our AI Principles and have informed him that the evidence does not support his claims," a Google spokesperson wrote in a statement to the Post.

"He was told that there was no evidence that LaMDA was sentient (and lots of evidence against it). Though other organisations have developed and already released similar language models, we are taking a restrained, careful approach with LaMDA..."

One might suspect a mental health issue. Yet in subsequent interviews with Bloomberg Technology and Tucker Carlson (available online), Mr Lemoine presented as a perfectly sane individual; thoughtful and reasonable. Moreover, as we laugh and scratch our heads we should bear in mind the sobering information conveyed by US defence expert Jay Tuck. In a TEDx talk he gave on 31 January 2017, he explained that:

"Artificial Intelligence is software that writes itself. It writes its own updates. It renews itself. It writes itself at speeds we can barely comprehend, and the people who write it know you can't take it apart again and figure out what it's done. It thinks independently, autonomously, it develops its own way of thinking. And there are dangers associated with that."

Faced with Big Tech's increased weaponisation of algorithms in its war on free speech, religion and all that is wholesome and true, it is alarming to think that five long years ago Mr Tuck was already claiming that "Nobody really understands how algorithms function. They used to understand them but they've been improved by artificial intelligence."

Among other "dangers" he provided examples of the truly frightening power of the "cognitive intelligence" of AI to surveil and analyse hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously, in fine detail, from real time data streamed thousands of feet above the earth.

It would seem, therefore, that the deeply disturbing invasions of privacy endured under Covid surveillance (overseen locally by GCHQ), represent the merest tip of a massive iceberg of dystopian 'track and trace' possibilities ready to be unleashed against us after the next trumped up viral/environmental red alert.

Available online, Mr Tuck's 17-minute presentation also includes chilling military applications of AI, including drone assassinations. One AI-controlled weapon that malfunctioned during a demonstration and went rogue, so to speak, was tackled to the ground by a brave soldier just before it could gun down hundreds of people in attendance.

Unlike Mr Lemoine, however, Tuck insists that even the most human-like AI is not at all sentient but merely "bars of [progamming] code." Yet he echoes Lemoine in warning:

"We must not underestimate artificial intelligence. It's getting better every day, and it's going to scare us. We need to be careful because survival is an issue for artificial intelligence."

"It needs to exist to do the things it wants to do according to its programme," he explains. "So it lays, like insect eggs, back-ups and computer programmes all over the world, thousands and thousands of them, so that if we do destroy part of it, it's still alive."

He described his job as "a wake-up call" to make us aware of the problem.

Our job, he says, "is to figure out how we're going to stop this, before it kills us."

More like: how are we going to stop Davos Man's obsession with AI before he kills us? Before his insatiable desire to control and depopulate the world ushers in hell on earth?

Orwell warned about the fearful ramifications of this "intoxication of power":

"Always, at every moment there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot, stamping on a face, forever."

"The moral to be drawn from this nightmare situation," Orwell truly concluded, "is a simple one. Don't let it happen. It depends on you."

It still does. And the first baby step is to face the reality of the globalist coup-cum-depopulation programme being perpetrated by this tiny but strategically placed cabal. And to recognise their 'vaccines' for what they are viz., experimental cell and gene therapies essential to their rising bio-security dystopian state.
