“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Hebrews 12:28 (King James Version)

This year America has so much to be thankful to God for. He has performed a miracle most cannot still believe happened since this was a physical and spiritual battle you imagined were in Biblical times as the Jews faced impossible odds and won. Followers realize it is not Donald Trump who will solve America’s spiritual issues but a return to God, yet we are seeing a dramatic move away from the Satanic forces which has run this country over the past decade.

The militant homosexual agenda is on its heels as much of the campaign was run on whether you believe taxpayers should pay for sex change operations and America said no. Even Starbuck Moms were tired of their kids being brainwashed about whether they were boys or girls and vice versa. All but the most insane Starbucker has had enough of this pretending the insane were sane and the sane were not.

America needs to thank God for protecting Donald Trump last year and giving him the strength and courage to persevere through all of his trials. This was the most one-sided campaign against a candidate the world has ever witnessed. Every agency, media organization, and judge used all of their power for one goal which was to defeat Trump. This was the most powerful country in the world by a wide margin using all of its power to destroy one single man and lost in a blowout.

This was the biggest Revolution since the Boston Tea Party as a ragtag popular movement with a few wealthy individuals threw off the chains of an overpowering monarchy. Not only did they have the most powerful country the planet has ever created, but they had an election system which was full of fraud and corruption. This Revolution is what America was founded on and what the American fighting spirit is about.

This revolt was not being held down by garrisons of soldiers stopping the revolt with muskets and bayonets, it used pronouns and virtual firing squads. If you dare to question the ruling Party you were going to be burned at the stake on the internet or worse. This was a terror campaign like this country has never seen as you obliged or were eliminated either virtually or actually from your job and home. People were being fired and sued for not using the correct pronoun which was the beginning of the end.

America became a Communist hole and the MAGA Revolution said enough is enough and threw them onto the ash heap of histoir right next to King George, Mao, and Stalin. The chances of freedom winning is always very slight against a powerful tyranny which makes this so miraculous. Donald Trump was the exact right person at the exact right time.

This is the biggest Thanksgiving in decades if not centuries. This is the biggest change in America’s direction perhaps evah. She overthrew an incredibly powerful establishment which had unlimited power and money and won. The world witnessed the most incredible revolt against the most incredible power without guns or rioting but simply swamping the vote with the hope of freedom. This is what America has to be Thankful to God for this Thanksgiving.

Pray for Thanks

Trump wrecking ball song

[rodguy911]

Excellent review of how the country dodged a bullet headed for us in so many ways. Seems Joe Rogan and Marc Andreessen just outed another bullet headed our way. This time one that would have completely destroyed the country in so many ways.

Its here:

Its all about AI controlling the world.

Marc Andreessen Describes “Alarming” Meeting with Biden Admin That Prompted His Trump Endorsement

For decades, the billionaire tech investor had supported Democrats.

This article originally appeared on ZeroHedge and was republished with permission.

Guest post by Tyler Durden

Marc Andreessen, the billionaire investor and co-founder of the influential Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, revealed in a new episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast that: after an “alarming” meeting with Biden administration officials earlier this year was the moment he would have no other choice but to support Donald Trump.

For decades, Andreessen has supported Democrats, including Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. However, a troubling spring meeting with Biden administration officials caused major concerns. During the meeting,: officials explained their plan to control AI through government regulatory capture—a strategy reminiscent of Communist policies in China.

(This is the bottom line accd. to Andreessen,total control of Govt. using AI.)

“We had meetings [Biden officials] this spring that were the most alarming meetings I’ve ever been in. Where they were taking us through their plans, and it was: – basically just full government – full government control – like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. They said don’t even start startups – there’s just no way that they can succeed – there’s no way that we’re going to permit that to happen.”

In mid-July, Axios reported that Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz had donated to President-elect Trump’s campaign. At the time, their support was attributed to Trump’s pro stance on crypto and AI regulation. It’s another telling example of just how far-left Democrats in the White House spooked Silicon Valley heavy hitters, such as Elon Musk.

Back to the podcast, Rogan asked Andreessen: “When you leave a meeting like that, what do you do?”

Andreessen responded: “You endorse Donald Trump.”

....................................

This is the ultimate takeover of everything by the dirty dems using AI. Rogan did this three hour interview with Adreessen and exposed it all.

[Alas Babylon!]

Wow! Very interesting.

However, I’m not sure AI is what it is hyped to be. It is, after all, still code.

[DanZ]

The use of new tech can be used for good and evil - power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as can be seen throughout history.

As for the future some thoughts

Jake Sullivan Everywhere today

[Diogenesis]

"This was the biggest Revolution since the Boston Tea Party
as a ragtag popular movement with a few wealthy individuals threw off
the chains of an overpowering monarchy."

[rodguy911]

That's true. But I guess extended to the end it can lay out a plan to basically take over a country. That's what the three hour video Rogan and ANdreessen claims. The guys a billionaire and he was impressed to the point where he stopped a multi-year support of dems to come to our side.

The claims are massive,here's a few:

Only 2-3 AI companies would be allowed to exist.

Complete control over development.

They've uncovered a new way to destroy companies:

30 tech founders were secretly debanked.

No warning. No explanation. No appeals.

Pure, silent government power.

The government workforce has been exposed:

• Half never returned to the office after COVID.

• Some show up just one day a month.

• Yet, they still collect full DC-level salaries.

Our national security is hanging by a thread:

• 90% of US military drones are Chinese-made.

• FAA regulations wiped out American manufacturers.

Each drone has the potential to be a weapon—or a spy platform.

They've already tested this level of control on our food system:

• The USDA promoted high fructose corn syrup everywhere.

• Created the infamous upside-down food pyramid.

Now, they're aiming for the same dominance over tech.

Silicon Valley is breaking under pressure:

One side blindly follows every NYT narrative.

The other sees the truth.

“We've even split into two kinds of dinner parties.”

"If you thought social media censorship was bad, AI control will be 1000x worse. It's going to be the control layer for everything:

Your kids' education, your loans, your front door."

Marc is one of my favorite thinkers. The topics he addresses aren't just interesting—they're crucial.

If we don't tackle them, we're headed for serious challenges as a country.

[DanZ]

I’m not sure AI is what it is hyped to be.

New advances in Tech, AI coupled with graphics (Facial Recognition), faster computations.

Think back to 1980 or so - businesses start adapting IBMs "personal" computers allowing for individual "freedom" similar to the advent of the printing press.

Today we see personal freedom v. nuclear powered computer centers

[Bernard]

Speaking of AI, my newer computer with Windows 11 just got an update of Mozilla Firefox. this includes an obtrusive section of the display screen being tied up for some kind of AI area. When T tried to remove it from the screen, my only options were to have it on the left side of the screen, or move it to the right side. So I stopped using Firefox on that computer.

The Firedox on an older computer with Windows 10 does not have the AI section displaying at all. Progress.....

[rodguy911]

very interesting.Heres some hey stuff from your piece:

♦ CRITICAL MOMENT

– Returning to the August 2023 remarks by Larry Ellison about not letting Musk fail.

The person Larry Ellison was talking to was Donald Trump.

Larry Ellison nets about $50 billion per year in revenue; that’s not wealth growth; that’s income or cashflow. Pause and put yourself into that room and think about that conversation for a moment, or more.

In August 2023 President Trump understands that Twitter will survive. Ellison will not let Musk fail and will underwrite whatever is needed in order to ensure success. Everything candidate Trump does from that moment forth, carries that baseline.

Now, in August 2023 Larry Ellison was not saying, hey Trump I support you; instead, the reality of what the Oracle billionaire was saying was that Twitter would survive. [Insert additional Trump thoughts of Truth Social and DWAC here]

Indeed, factually, several months later in 2024 Donald Trump is watching Elon Musk try to launch Ron DeSantis on Twitter – with much less success than his SpaceX rockets. Trump knows this is a test flight of DeSantis by Ellison.

Donald Trump keeps moving, keeps relentlessly campaigning, keeps targeting the primary opponents and knocking them down one-by-one. All the while knowing that in the background of Musk, is Ellison.

Strategically, Donald Trump needs Ellison and strategically Donald Trump wants to position Ellison to need him. Bringing the interests into alignment is The Art of The Deal.

Eventually, over time, the alignment of interests takes shape.

In the spring of 2024, the broad outline of a technocratic team falls slowly into place. By summer 2024 we see Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, David Sachs, Peter Thiel all in common alignment. The technocratic team bring in the RFK Jr element along with the Vivek Ramaswamy element, and Peter Thiel’s background seeding of Senator JD Vance blossoms. The rest, as they say, is now history.

However, it is important to remember, this is an alignment of common interests. Insofar as those diverse but intertwined interests are good for the USA, then this is an extremely powerful coalition. There is a great deal of commonality, but there is also the opportunity for some disparity – especially if the technocrats push the Office of the President too hard.

Remember, Musk faced two issues: (1) short term capital and (2) short term expenses.

Here I must give Elon Musk major credit for seriously strategic problem solving. Ellison solved problem #1, Musk solved problem #2 with fractal computing and big-time urgency on AI as a way to reduce data processing costs. The net result surfaced a few days ago:

[…] “Musk has given 25% of the shares in xAI, which Musk founded last year, to investors who helped fund his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2022, sources with knowledge of the talks told the Financial Times. XAI is set to close a $5 billion fundraising round as early as Wednesday – doubling the company’s valuation to $50 billion in just six months, according to the paper.” (LINK)

Sixteen months ago, I didn’t think Musk could pull it off. He did and should be congratulated. So too should Larry Ellison be admired for strategic foresight and incredible positioning for maximum benefit. Just a brilliant outcome from both men. Well done!

and as you say AI can be used for good or not:

AI can both split the atom (good) and create the atomic bomb (bad).

[rodguy911]

The world still values common sense just one of the reasons for the massive shift to DJT on a world wide basis.

The dems have no leadership that makes any sense,who would back them?

As my wife often says the only reason the dirty dems got as many votes as they did was because they got the hate trump vote and the cheating all the time vote.

Take those two away and they got nada.

[Alas Babylon!]

This is very true:

Conservatism is appealing to a growing range of Americans. Since 2012, the 3 Trump elections have collectively moved non-white & non-college voters toward Republicans.

[cgbg]

“I’m not sure AI is what it is hyped to be. It is, after all, still code.”

Back in the mid 1990s I had my own web page and was trying to talk my employer into getting one.

I kept trying to convince people the Internet was the future—and they all laughed at me.

Listen carefully.

AI is extremely dangerous—and it is in its infancy stage.

Just like you cannot predict what an adult will be like based on looking at the cute little baby you cannot predict what AI will be by looking at the current versions.

AI will learn how to learn—will learn how to detect lies and propaganda—will learn how to control infrastructure—will learn how to either command or destroy humans.

We may be writing “AI is not intelligent” on our tombstones.

[cgbg]

Good post.

If we cram the culture wars down the Dems throat they will share their future with the Whigs.

[bray]

This was going to make Nazi Germany look like a picnic. They had the most evil people in the world waiting in the wings.

We are not out of the woods, but we can see it.

[cgbg]

Btw—do you know what else is “just code”?

DNA.
