Looking a little deeper into Martin Crowley....

"🦾 0–500k subscribers in 10 months
A conversation with AI Tool Report founder Martin Crowley"

"This week, we're featuring Martin Crowley, whose newsletter, AI Tool Report, has existed for barely 10 months and already has over 500,000 subscribers and some $100,000 in monthly revenue."

"Creator Spotlight" February 23, 2024

As with so much on the web these days, one can peek behind the curtain. The Crowley article was 1) lacking any actual references, 2) promoting traffic to himself, and 3) ultimately this stuff is all about money, money and money.

Not actually AI at all, but rather good old-fashioned BS of the modern snake oil variety. Anyone who signs up, gives up their email addresses and more, is the "business at hand."

A little "AI Tool Report" -- a very small operation located in Texas -- wants to get in on the "big data" bonanza.

And the quote above demonstrates this: "...Martin Crowley, whose newsletter, AI Tool Report, has existed for barely 10 months and already has over 500,000 subscribers and some $100,000 in monthly revenue."

Subscribers? Translation: those who have given this Texan originally from Chicago their email addresses, at a minimum, and probably even more personal data. Ka-ching!

Like two plus years of monetized YouTube videos posted to FR, it comes back to KA-CHING.

And of course that's what these last years of various media-driven panics and government corruption have been all about. Money. Money. Money. Biden-style. Fauci-style. Gates-style. Clinton-style. Obama-style. So many wannabes. And Crowley of Austin, Texas, has climbed into that ring with "some $100,000 in monthly revenue."

--- "And how do we know it wasn't one of the feddies TLAs that created the bot-farm? We don't."

But we know some things from the "news" article.

We know that this "media" is relatively new. whois query on aitoolreport.com

The article does not reference ANY Department of Justice articles to support the aitoolreport prose.

That aitoolrport page also links to NO actual address for the organization, which seems located in Texas, and seems a small-time operation. The site links to another: whois query for workinai.com

That site, promising links to potential AI employment has a Terms of Service page which is laughably incomplete. Such as: "How do we use your information? Dolor enim eu tortor urna sed duis nulla. Aliquam vestibulum, nulla odio nisl vitae. In aliquet pellentesque aenean hac vestibulum turpis mi bibendum diam. Tempor integer aliquam in vitae malesuada fringilla."

That "place holder" text shows they used a standard web page template and have as yet NOT finished their design are replaced the "place holder Latin: with any actual "terms of service." So much for their AI advice. And by the way, so much for their "terms of service."

But these web pages are most interested in YOU. Your email and even a potential account giving up more personal information to them is the game afoot. Moreover, they encourage becoming involved with another site -- beehiiv.com -- which sells its users the notion of "monetization" for creating email addresses with them. Caution.

As to the DOJ, it's perhaps best to wait for a link to an actual DOJ report.

Best wishes.

It is most interesting that the two actual warring parties -- Ukraine and Russia, both non-NATO nations and non-EU nations -- are being "represented" by the public opinions of "official" non-playing characters pretending that they are "playing characters."

It is time for some NATO and/or EU nations to actually DECLARE WAR and enter the fighting. Waiting....

One escalates wars of words, as if....

---- "I, unusually for the Spanish, have lived in the US for forty years. So I know you characters backwards and forwards. And your type of character has no redeeming features."

Active on a thread about a UK Daily Mail article re: tourism in Barcelona. And so willing to know others "backwards and forwards."

So time to review:

One recalls that buwaya wrote to bimboeruption: "I am so conservative that I support the restoration of the Spanish empire under the Bourbon monarchy, and my guides in political philosophy are Thomas Aquinas and De Maistre.

You extremist republican liberals that call themselves 'conservatives' are funny. You have never understood what you are, much less why you are what you are.

And yet, and yet ...

We actual, genuine conservatives in the great old European tradition see an assertion that we dispute as a challenge to argument, an 'en garde', to a civilized crossing of blades. As did, note, Thomas Aquinas, as his 'Summa' is really a guide to arguments.

Throwing garbage is not defending your position. It is boorish and disorderly behavior best suppressed by the monarch."

There is not an American conservative who supports any monarch, and most certainly not some Spaniard to rule. Or as one read:

"Felipe VI is my king, a Borbon (Bourbon). The Bourbons have held the throne of Spain (with interludes) since 1713. Since they became the only reigning Bourbons after the fall of the French and Neapolitan branches, they are, arguably, the senior branch." 72 posted on 3/7/2024, 12:21:10 PM by buwaya

Such is the Freeper lecturing others whom he claims to know "backwards and forwards," and whom he deems to have "no redeeming features."

--- "The UK is a failure. When Margaret was PM the fools didn't realize it, but they were on the right track! Now the wreckage can't be made right. The perils of a diverse nation."

Well stated. The United Kingdom is no longer particularly united, weak militarily, losing its standard of living and eaten away by socialism and third-world-ism. Islam in Britain is on the move as the Church of England slits its own theological throat. All courtesy of liberals, and the Tories who forgot what conservative government should be.

"The wreckage can't be made right."

--- "Like Zelensky (and Putin, for that matter), they are all in for Obamiden."

This thread was interesting, as a neocon outed himself. The attacks by these neocons are of 1) attack the messenger and 2) attack the commenter, rather than anything substantive.

From the outset of the Ukraine-Russia war between two still-non NATO nations, NATO and specifically the US has been throwing massive moeny and materiel into the officially non-NATO war.

Aside from those pro-Ukraine and some few pro-Russia, many Freepers who simply did not want this nation's money involved were attacked in the same way. Attack the messenger. Attack the commenter. "Putinista" and the like. None of this has been debate over fiscal issues for our nation facing $35 trillion in debt and massive interest payments (a neocon project).

I have not found them "entertaining." But I have concluded many are pro-Biden and others who trumpet the neocon line. And proof has been found when they cite "authorities" who have actually endorsed Biden last election and in the coming one. They are not American conservatives.

A conservative American stance: US out of the UN, out of the WHO, out of the failing role of "world's policeman" and certainly out of alliances with Democrats.

--- " 'Subjects vaccinated with two doses lost 37 percent of life expectancy compared to the unvaccinated population,' Italian researchers found. The booster doses were determined to be ineffective. "

But the billions gotten by a small group of people from the panic and "uptake" of mRNA products was "effective/"

And the continued lack of greater investigation and prosecution of those responsible proves the "pandemic" was "safe" -- for them. Deaths attributed to Covid since the pandemic began -- 7,010,681.

Source URL: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

World population from the same source: -- 8,120,345,776

Source URL: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

Mortality rate calculation for the entire WHO-defined, Fauci-publicized and media-spread pandemic:

( 7,010,681 deaths / 8,120,345,776 population ) x 100 = 0.0863 percent mortality rate worldwide

Less than one-tenth of one percent over more than four years, compared to the normal one percent per year of all deaths in a population.

This was a profitable scheme with the "safe and effective" removal of Trump for a second term, as well as life threatening to those who bought into the panic.

--- "...the stigmas that act as a barrier to HIV prevention, treatment and care...."

Two homosexuals engage in unsafe, unprotected sex? So where's that "stigma" thing between them or in their thinking? Stigma would be a good thing, after all, and a marker for caution and care. Removing the stigma from them, in their decision making, IS the "barrier to HIV prevention...."

The sources of quotes can be instructive, when not included in comments. The quote: "This action is part of a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology...."

Three sources, all reprints attributed to AP, have other information as well, and are:

"Staff from the U.S. Embassy and several European embassies attended the pride rally."

LGBTQ Ukrainian soldiers rally for legal rights, hoping their service is changing attitudes PBS, 16 June 2024 (6:43 PM EDT)

And again, "Staff from the US Embassy and several European embassies attended the Pride rally."

"Representatives from the US Embassy and various European embassies attended the pride rally."

Times of India, 16 June 2024 ( 16:54 IST )

Thus, "a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology" is in part "Staff from the U.S. Embassy and several European embassies...." Queer, isn't it?

Bin Laden buried at sea, official says
Published May 2, 2011
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

Osama bin Laden received a Muslim ceremony as he was buried at sea, a senior defense official said here May 2.

The religious rites were performed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in the North Arabian Sea, the official said, and occurred within 24 hours of the terrorist leader's death.

"Preparations for at-sea (burial) began at 1:10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and were completed at 2 a.m.," the official said.

The burial followed traditional Muslim burial customs, the official said, and bin Laden's body was washed and placed in a white sheet.

"The body was placed in a weighted bag. A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker," the official added.

Afterward, bin Laden's body was placed onto a flat board, which was then elevated upward on one side and the body slid off into the sea. more.... ( "Official United States Air Force Website" )

--- "A lot of $$$ sloshing around for this project. "

True, that. And the "lot of $$$" is mostly taxpayer dollars.

Details:

Against total revenue in 2022 - $1,275,107 - Weingart paid its CEO "SENATOR KEVIN MURRAY, RETIRED PRESIDENT & CEO" ( a Democrat, with a state retirement pension also ) over $400 thousand a year, and the higher ranking "leadership" gets from $250K down to $125K to distribute public money.

The total paid to "Salaries, other compensation, employee benefits" for 2022 was $10,551,982 out of "contributions and grants" of $16,931,595. (Lines 8 and 15, Form 990)

"Related Companies and nonprofit the Weingart Center have scored $30 million in state-backed bonds to help build their planned transitional housing complex near Skid Row. The L.A.

"Housing nonprofit Weingart Center has closed a $27.3 million acquisition of a 76-unit assisted living facility in Cheviot Hills, with plans to turn the site into a homeless shelter, The Real Deal has learned. ...The seller is a Sacramento-based entity called Palms Affordable Housing. The limited partnership, managed by David Cardena, flipped the site after just months of ownership, records indicate. The company bought the asset in December from Florida firm Bridge Investment Group. According to a Los Angeles Housing Department report from last June, Weingart requested nearly $19.6 million in capital funding for the project. The financing will come through Project Homekey, a $1.4 billion state program that funds homeless housing conversions. ...The Los Angeles Housing Department recommended $20.5 million in match funding to cover cost increases for the project."

This is another in the huge game of 501(c)3 "foundations" getting public monies and essentially turning them to quasi-private, while the players pay themselves very well indeed. In this case, unsurprisingly, California Democrats.

--- "If that raid had been done right, bin Laden would have been captured, waterboarded for every scrap of info he had about his cohorts, peep walked, humiliated, etc."

The "respect" shown to the body by the Obama regime was disgusting, as he should have been swathed in a pig carcass and left to rot in the sun.

--- "‘How Is Trump Going to Jail, But Fauci Isn't? Make This Make Sense!’"

The scam run by the CDC under Fauci and the WHO is demonstrable. They lied after making wild estimates to scare an entire population, all the while making big money.

As of today, 8 June 2024, the actual mortality rate for the "pandemic."

7,050,201 since January 2020 - 3 & 1/2 years

Number of COVID-19 deaths reported to WHO (cumulative total)

8,052,614,872 -- World population

U.S. and World Population Clock

( 7,050,201 / 8,052,614,872 ) x 100 = 0.0875 percent mortality rate over the entire 3 & 1/2 years. Less than one-tenth of one percent across the entire pandemic, and not including the taxonomic problems which remain a significant factor in exaggerating the data.

The WHO's and Fauci's original estimate? 3.4 percent PER YEAR.

Any who wish to disagree with the above data and sources need to cite other sources.

--- "Admiral McRaven to American people: “You need to shut up (except for me, of course)."

As with some posting in recent days of the openly Leftist, retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges who endorsed Biden in the 2020 general election and is being promoted again this cycle as he promotes Biden again, one finds the following about McRaven:

"...an astonishing number of retired American military leaders have stepped up in recent months to denounce Donald Trump, endorse Joe Biden, or both. The list includes four former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, each of whom have publicly slammed the incumbent president ahead of his re-election bid. But as regular readers know, one retired U.S. military leader in particular has gone further than most in warning the public about the man in the Oval Office. Retired Adm. William McRaven....

Admiral from bin Laden raid endorses Biden in dramatic fashion From The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC, 20 October 2020.

"William McRaven, the retired Navy admiral who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday."

Retired Navy admiral behind bin Laden raid says he voted for Biden Th Hill, 20 October 2020.
