AI isn't a threat ... yet

If you are unaware your entire 'web experience' is curated to suit the desires of powerful IT megalomaniacs.  The results you see searching anything on the web is managed by algorithms to provide you the results they want you see.  Your search signals interests, which they catalog to use in manipulating you, the results filtered to produce what you perceive to be true, real, reliable.    

That's why it's free - you are the product, not a client.

In trying to catch your eye and create acceptance with the message AI manages the stupid little ads that surround the stuff you wanted to read ... which itself was managed to coerce you in a desired direction.  In my case AI knows I've a military background and I  am over 70.   So, AI uses that information to make the spam ads more appealing to me by ... having the AI generated characters in the ads wear military uniforms.  

The fact that there are no 70 year olds in uniform hasn't yet occurred to AI ...yet.  So my ads are frequently unintentionally hilarious.

And I guess, since I'm over 70, I'm supposed to be living in terror of dementia ... (these are all from the first 3 web pages I saw this morning) 

 ... and really respect the opinion of septuagenarian ladies in poorly rendered military uniforms.

AI?  It appears to me that the Butlerian Jihad is still way off in our future.

AI crisis was infowar - here's a real problem

 

                             Deep State - Lied to get Biden elected in 2020, now at it again

Remember those patriotic Intelligence community "leaders" who told you, just before the 2020 election that the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation"?  Remember them deliberately lying to the American public to influence an election in favor of the Democrat Party? (1)

Well - they're at it again!

Bastards!

Unfortunately the US has been unable to discard the compromised systems we use in our elections.  The systems we use were purpose built to manipulate election results, not faithfully facilitate them.

The speaker here is someone very like the Navy cryptologic specialists I worked with, and flew with, a number of times in my career.  She was finally disgusted with many things she had done when working for Brennan and has had a challenging life since.  

Her testimony here is most probably true.

We do have a problem.  Rough times comin'.

ICYMI (in case you missed it) - AI Doom scare was infowar

I avoided commenting on the AI doom scare because I just didn't have enough reliable information to have an opinion.

I was, however, very suspicious of the folks screaming we were about to be done in by computers. 

Now I see reporting that makes sense of it.  Trump was, as always, mostly right in his own clumsy, self centered, inarticulate way.   (Too bad we come in second in his affection to Israel.)

The best, simple folk level reporting is from Molly - https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/09/mollie-hemingway-ai-hysteria-is-about-regulatory-capture-and-control/

Proof positive this is a hoax to propel a power grab is who injected himself into the public debate ...

Obama, Brennan, Holder were the folks who took the monster Baby Bush foolishly built with the Patriot Act and completely weaponized it as a tool against the left's political opponents.  It's no surprise that BHO is a fan of more federal power in the hands of fewer and fewer members of the nomenklatura.

Oh! Canada - what makes Trump say what he says

Lesson Learned: A nation that emasculates itself on the altar of leftist foolishness can't stand on is own as a genuine nation.  Think of Canada as sort of a big, cold, Puerto Rico that hates us.

9/11 - 25 years later

A story memory holed shortly after released,  Her choice in art speaks volumes.

Twenty five years ago 15 Saudis, organized by a Saudi based in Afghanistan, attacked New York.

Today you get electronically strip searched and patted down at every airport, a Flock camera can look into your backyard, and a pro-Sharia, terrorist supporting moslem is mayor of New York.  

In late 2019, early 2020 the Communist government of China DELIBERATELY spread Covid-19 to the United States and Western Europe from Wuhan Province - after locking down all internal transportation into and out of that Province. 

In August our trade surplus with the godless CCP widened to $119B, and we're so rife with Chinese spys the deep relationship between the CCP and a woman who was a Labor Secretary under one Republican President, and Transportation Secretary under another, to say nothing of being the wife of a Senate Majority Leader, is hardly a surprise (1).

Has anything any administration - Republican or Democrat - really addressed the vulnerabilities exposed (ex. 2) or really punished the people behind 9/11 or WuF1u?  

The Democrats turned the Patriot Act into the means of creating a police state that surveilled their political enemies, the Republicans turned 9/11 into a financial rape of the country to enrich the makers of bombs and the folks who have gotten our kids killed in stupid little wars ever since.

UPDATE: The morning after (9/12/26)

Some thoughts after stewing over it for a long day and night (9/11-12/26) ...

When the buildings fell I was between jobs having been a migrant with a tie for an industry favorite IT company radically downsizing and immediately called my old boss, a senior leader in the intel community offering to hire up.  Busy as he was he took the call and said he'd get back to me.   
Two weeks later I called again, he was very, very busy working on creating his part of the monster we now have to live under, the product of "the Patriot Act".  

About a month after that (November I think) we spoke and he explained that although I was a "better than most" analyst in the rarefied level I had worked, my 'skills were cold war legacy' and the spool up time would be too long.

And so I  remained a retired 0017S - Intelligence Subspecialist, Significant Experience.   

Meh. Iranians tried to kill me in 1987, big Navy didn't want me back in 2001.  

They were persistent - in 2012 the "religion of peace" very nearly killed my son when he was wearing an Army uniform.  

Now the "red-green alliance"  (Communist-Islam) is a mortal danger to the US from within. 

How do I feel 'bout it all 25 years - and a day - later?  
( after publishing  https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2026/09/911-25-years-later.html )

We had a chance.

The President should have declared Shia and Sunni Moslems as terrorists and terror supporting institutions, closed and sold the mosques in the US and provided the money from the sale to the families of the victims. If it would have led to a war then, we were far more ready for one then than now.  China was not yet nearly as strong and we were not by then  depleted after an additional 2 decades of stupid little wars.

It wasn't just our political leaders who failed. 

Our Christian religious leaders should have demanded the moslems, Shia and Sunni at least,  be called for what they were - and are - evil.  Not join in prayer at Yankee Stadium with Imam Ansari and Shamsi-Ali while the smoke was still rising from the rubble of the twin towers.  Even with the bodies and the smoke our Christian "leaders" refused to challenge evil for being what it was - and its agents are among us today in far greater numbers thanks to Obama and Biden.

Even a "community organizer" trained LCMS Pastor joined in, and he still doesn't get it to this day  Maybe when an islamic nuke goes off in DC?   

We need to be distant from our mendacious "friend" Israel, but we need to treat evil, including Islamic evil, for what it is.

"**ck 'em up"

Gee, there's clubs sproutin' up all over the country.  She knows her audience.

Ugly but true, wake up!

Folks this is a murderous Marxist inciting an audience of ... non-MENSA members ... to do violence to a uniformed law enforcement officer.  

CalState must either fire her immediately or be removed from all Federal money.

You have to deal with the most dangerous threat now.  Folks like her are inside the wire, doing that Marcuse thing to destroy the country - radicalizing the most suggestible human drones to be weapons.  We cannot subsidize the very people who want us dead.  

Bein' real

First the news ...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/09/02/transcript-russian-federation-president-vladimir-putin-takes-questions-from-assembled-media/#more-286565

So many knee jerk comments against engagement with Russia.  It's as though Boris Badenough really impacted the critical thinking in generations of growing Americans.

My reply to a comment on the article:

"Putin is a KGB thug, and an expert in disinformation and duplicity. "

True.

I 'm as much a 'cold war' dinosaur as anyone but, what I appreciate as also true is that the war in Ukraine was intentionally produced by Obama, Brennan, and Biden.  Putin has a real bone to pick with us over that.

Continuing under Trump, the degree US 'support', even direct involvement, particularly with the deep strikes and the sinking of the cruiser AZOV, justify similar actions by Russia using a proxy like Hezbllah against American ships, or B-2s and B-52s, in the US.  

He has held off.

Now it is the US, not the Soviet Union, being bled white with counter productive military expenses.  An irony Vlad no doubt enjoys.  We need to get out of Ukraine (and destroy our biowar labs there) and, either economically choke Iran into rebellion or declare victory and sail away, before Xi lets Kim deliver the nukes Iran has already paid for.   

Putin could make those developments easier, or harder.  

Like it or not, engaging him the right way is in our mutual interests. 

Meh, I doubt it'll be posted.
