There’s a lie we’ve been telling ourselves for decades: That free trade with China would civilize them. Make them richer, freer, better. It didn’t. It made them bolder. Hungrier. More dangerous. What the West called “economic engagement,” China saw as an opportunity for weaponization. And now, the bill is coming due—for everyone. They’ve used the profits of global trade to fund: - Re-education camps - A high-tech surveillance state - Mass internment of minorities - And a military machine backed by the promise of global domination All while selling us the cheap plastic they use to buy time. And what...

In a survey of 475 Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers, 76% said that as currently practiced, AI research was “unlikely” or even “very unlikely” to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI is the hypothetical milestone where machines have advanced enough in order to learn as well or better than can humans. Thus, cold water is being thrown on predictions made early in the AI boom that current AI models only need more data, hardware, energy and money to eventually reach the goal of surpassing human intelligence. But current state-of-the-art AI models aren’t making much progress. In fact, most researchers from the...

A new coronavirus feared to be able to spread to humans has been discovered by a China-linked scientist. Researchers from Brazil and colleagues affiliated with the University of Hong Kong detected the new strain after swabbing the mouths and rectums of bats. The novel strain is closely related to MERS — a disease that kills about 35 percent of the people it infects. The virus is now being transported to China, along with six other viruses discovered during the expedition. Tests will be carried out to find out whether they can infect human cells, despite concerns about such experiments being...

A United Nations watchdog group says the infamous UN relief agency that provides $1.5 billion a year to Palestinians should be disbanded for colluding with terrorists and “enabling crimes against humanity.” “The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is neither independent nor neutral,” says a scathing new report by the Swiss-based group UN WATCH. “UNRWA’s senior management not only employs individuals tied to Hamas terrorism but also allows terrorist groups like Hamas to influence and obstruct critical agency decisions and policies. “UNRWA’s failure to maintain neutrality, combined with its susceptibility to influence from terrorist groups, undermines...

“Bill Gates has control of the WHO that mandates ‘vaccines’ all over the World. The companies that make those vaccines…Gates is a major shareholder. He’s also doing the same thing with the ‘Green Revolution’…” -RFK Jr.

Shocking: “Tony Fauci made sure that none of these children had guardians. They were tortured in illegal experiments. When they died, their corpses were disposed of in an open pit covered by astro turf.” Now, as RFK Jr. prepares for a key role in the Trump administration, globalists like Fauci could face prosecution for crimes against humanity. A day of reckoning is coming. Justice will be swift, and a presidential pardon from Biden will not save him!

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stressed the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) in his final book “Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit,” examining what the technology means for the world. In a pre-recorded promotional video for the book released Tuesday, Kissinger said through the use of the new technology, “humanity [is] trying to wield a power which they cannot possibly understand.” Kissinger passed away in November 2023, but wrote the book in collaboration with technology leaders Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie. It was published posthumously on Tuesday. “Eric, Craig, and I decided to write Genesis...

World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab told delegates at a conference in China this week that humanity needs to be “forced into a collaboration” with globalist entities.Speaking at the WEF’s ‘Annual Meeting of the New Champions’, often dubbed the “Summer Davos,” in China, Schwab stated that in order to drive the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” forward, elites must aggressively drive their agenda home.“To drive future economic growth we must embrace innovation and force the collaboration across sectors, regions, nations, and cultures to create a more peaceful, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future,” Schwab proclaimed.He added, “At this critical juncture the active participation...

ROME — Vatican representatives stoked fears of a climate emergency Thursday, insisting global warming is “bringing humanity to its knees.” In a Vatican press conference to present Pope Francis’ message for the World Day of Care for Creation, Father Alberto Ravagnani said that the climate crisis is a “dramatic provocation to our humanity” because when creation suffers, we all suffer. “The climate crisis is bringing the whole of humanity to its knees,” he declared. The environmental question “is particularly close to the hearts of today’s young people, because the current climate crisis looms over their future and that of their...

Of Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention on the third-to-last page of the tome, noting coyly that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." That's it. That is all he wrote about the dawning of the single most consequential species on the planet.

Celebrity chef and World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Israel was committing a “war against humanity.” Discussing World Central Kitchen workers being killed in Gaza, Andrés said, “Every time something happens, we cannot be bringing Hamas the question. I think the IDF knows better than anybody that they can be a better army. There should be protocols. There should be rules of engagement, that somebody has to be making sure that the happen in a war zone, is way too many cases now of humanitarians dying.”

I have been pro-life ever since, in my childhood, I first heard of abortion. Killing a developing baby in his mother’s womb is clearly an act of killing an innocent person. It is one issue on which science and morality agree. Technology has, however, intruded into the domain of what is and is not moral. Surrogate motherhood has, for many people, solved the heartbreak of childlessness. A woman who is incapable of carrying a child to term may have one (or usually more) of her eggs fertilized with her husband’s sperm, and then have a resulting embryo transplanted, so to...

Most Important Video On The Internet? Dr. David E. Martin Calls For Total Destruction Of The World Health Organization (WHO) For Crimes Against Humanity & Bio-Terrorism

An incredible speech that destroys the vax supporters.

The whole culture has been shifted towards the world of children in adult bodies. This seems to be a deliberate effort operating on all fronts, but especially in popular culture as a brainwashing tool — which is the known battlefield for subversive powers with long-term plans used for takeover. Our artificial idols and stories created in Hollywood and elsewhere encourage a lifestyle that does not include children. This started a long time ago — think of “Sex and the City”.

Contrary to the projections of the United Nations, demographers warn that recent evidence suggests the world is headed into a population collapse, not an era of overpopulation. While the United Nations predicts that humanity will continue down a path of massive population growth until the year 2100, peaking at over 11 billion, a demographic study published in The Lancet found that the world is only a few decades away from a sharp and consequential population decline. In an October 2020 study titled “Fertility, mortality, migration, and population scenarios for 195 countries and territories from 2017 to 2100: a forecasting analysis...

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republican senators did not have the “humanity” to say judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation vote was “historic.” Sharpton said, “As great as it is today, for black women, for women, and for black people, we all couldn’t celebrate that together. They didn’t even have enough humanity to say this is historic. I think that that is very telling. and she comes on the bench in a divided time, giving hope to people that’s going to have to fight those divisions.”

More than 100 millionaires say current tax systems are “not fair” and increasing wealth tax would help resolve inequalities made dramatically worse by the Covid health crisis. Millionaires from around the world have signed an open letter asking governments to tax them at higher rates. The letter was published online Wednesday, mid-way through Davos, the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting being held virtually this year. The signatories of the letter, which was the result of a joint initiative from inequality advocacy groups Patriotic Millionaires, Millionaires for Humanity and TaxMeNow, said current tax systems were “not fair”. While only 100 millionaires...

William Golding (of Lord of the Flies fame) wrote an essay titled “Thinking as a Hobby” in which he outlined what he saw as the three stages of human thought. The first stage, he pointed out, wasn’t really thinking at all, but rather emoting about whatever information (or disinformation) parades through a brain’s synapses. This level of “thought” takes no actual knowledge, uses logic sparingly, if at all, and produces nothing but anger, bitterness, and only an occasional tickle of amusement. The second stage of thinking is actual, rational thinking, but only goes so far as to list the problems,...
