Elon Musk post on X: "We are on the event horizon of the singularity."

On January 20th and 21st, President Donald Trump took two actions that were so conflicting that the second nullified the gains of the first. Worse, it boosts the Great Reset advanced by the global elite and may herd Americans into the sort of digital gulag in which communist China confines its citizens. His first action was his January 20 executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO). Note that this is an announcement of intent, and he later said the U.S. might consider rejoining if they “clean it up.” In any case, a formal delinking can happen...

This video contains excerpts of Sam Altman's 9/15/16 interview with Elon Musk. They were the original Co-Chairs of OpenAI. Here, they openly promote the connection of AI and transhumanism (the merging of the human brain/mind with technology, as is being developed by Musk's Neuralink company). Elon Musk himself said that there's a "ten to twenty percent chance AI goes BAD." We are gambling with the future of every man, woman, and child on earth. At the very least, we should ensure that those who are involved in the Stargate Project are ethical and sensible human beings. There is a serious...

President Donald Trump announced the $500 billion AI project, Stargate, earlier this week.Stargate's first data center is under construction in Abilene, Texas, said Oracle CTO Larry Ellison.Public filings for an Abilene development matching Ellison's description shed some light on costs.Construction on what appears to be two buildings on Stargate's first data center campus, now underway in Texas, is expected to be complete by the end of the year and cost an estimated $1.1 billion, according to public filings.

I voted for President Donald J. Trump three times. I did that because I love my country, and am committed to help preserve, protect, and improve it. I admire so much about the President. Starting with his great strength of vision and the willingness to pursue it. I am one hundred percent onboard with his desire to protect the citizens of this country from those who seek... And I am one hundred percent onboard with the President’s desire to “Make America Great Again.” I am grateful that this President is quickly fulfilling a number of campaign promises to the American...

Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent declares it during Senate hearing for his confirmation. CBDCs are Fascist Coin. A CBDC would effectively give the government total control over each person's money individually....a level of control even Orwell never dreamed of.

Sure, adding Greenland would be nice. So would annexing Canada and the Panama Canal. But the future won’t be determined by physical stuff. It’s not about the hardware. Instead, civilizations will rise and fall on software. Greenland still matters because its rare earth resources are necessary to build the infrastructure that Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems rely on. We haven’t solved all the “physical science” problems that spike costs and trigger inefficiencies. After all, the technology itself is still in its infancy. But at this point, it’s mostly a software problem. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the brainpower of AI...

I honestly don’t like where all this is going… 🚨 Larry Ellison Predicts a Future Surveillance State, where AI will Keep Police and CITIZENS on their “Best Behavior” The world Ellison describes sounds eerily similar to China’s social credit system, which controls citizens’ behavior. This AI overlord system he wants violates our constitutional rights to privacy. And Larry Ellison is one of the men Donald Trump just put in charge of leading the AI “StarGate” Project.

President Donald Trump is hitting the ground running during his first full day back in the White House as he announces a $500 billion investment in AI Infrastructure project called Stargate.

While NASA is searching for life on Mars, a CIA document claims it was found 40 years ago. The report, 'Mars Exploration May 22, 1984,' details how the agency used astral projection—the idea that a person's spirit can travel through the astral plane—to transport a 'subject' to Mars approximately one million years BC. The study was part of Project Stargate, a secret US Army unit established in 1977 that focused on anomalous phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis. Participants were exposed to sounds like binaural beats and hemi-sync audio to induce altered states of consciousness and promote psychic abilities....

Microsoft Corp. plans to build a supercomputer with millions of processors to support OpenAI’s research, The Information reported today. The system will be geared toward running artificial intelligence workloads. Reportedly codenamed Stargate by Microsoft executives, the supercomputer is believed to be part of a broader initiative that is also set to see the company build several other AI clusters. The project is expected to cost as much as $100 billion. OpenAI already uses Microsoft infrastructure to train its AI models. In 2020, the cloud computing and software giant disclosed that it had built an Azure-hosted supercomputer with 10,000 graphics cards...

Excavation work carried out by an American mission from New York University at the temple of Ramses II in Abydos has stumbled upon a menagerie of mummified animals that provides previously undocumented evidence of cultic worship through the ages.The most significant find at the site is over 2,000 mummified heads of rams from the Ptolemaic period along with other mummified ewes, dogs, wild goats, cows, gazelles and mongooses, said Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.The mummified remains, some still in their linen wrappings, were found stored in one of the recently discovered magazines within the temple’s northern...

It was recently announced, with much ballyhoo and excitement, that Amazon has added to their apparently infinite number of assets by paying $8.45 billion for MGM Studios. One strange quirk of their purchase is that they have not bought the rights to...MGM’s pre-1986 pictures. Yet what they have obtained are a rich variety of Hollywood classics, including everything from The Silence of the Lambs and Thelma and Louise to the less obviously distinguished likes of Legally Blonde and Poltergeist. And in the current intellectual property universe, for “rights’, read “remake opportunities’. ...Amazon has struggled to distinguish itself in the streaming...

Kiss the Blue Wave goodbye. SpyGate flushed it down the toilet. If you’re a regular reader, you are aware of this Theory of Unintended Consequences that I refer to as Operation Backfire. For those of you who haven’t heard it yet, let me briefly explain. Every big operation that Leftists launch inevitably backfires on them. For example, pushing the Parkland teens onto the national stage hoping it will spur the American people into joining the gun control movement and turning on the NRA. It didn’t. Or, during the 2016 campaign, well-I-nevering over Trump’s pro-American/anti-illegal immigration agenda thinking it would scuttle...

Here's my analysis and rationale for why the DOJ IG is the best agency to investigate #SPYGATE. 1. Rod Rosenstein has already assigned the investigation to DOJ IG. All we can do at this point is complain, write our congresspeople, etc. Won't do any good. 2. Crossfire Hurricane is/was a Top Secret, NOFORN, WNINTEL, LIMDIS, Special Access Required (SAR) program. As a minimum, anyone investigating #SPYGATE will require a current SBI, TS clearance, and inbrief on the program. If a second independent counsel were assigned, it could take months to build the team and get the clearances needed to start...

The series, which will air in 10-minute episodes on MGM's digital platform "Stargate Command," will be released sometime in 2018. A new video showing highlights from the filming shows the cast and crew working in locations ranging from dunes to warehouses. ... Fan favorite Catherine Langford (played by Ellie Gall in the new series) makes a prominent return in the new series. The video shows her standing in awe before a stargate and taking part in fight scenes.... "In this revealing footage, we get an in-depth look at some of the stunning real-life locations where filming took place, meeting new...

Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign never recovered ... The incident has become a case study not only in watching one’s words (and being nice to your waiters), but in spin control. Hammered by the media and the Democrats for sounding elitist and insulting half the country, Romney first blamed the listeners, saying they had misheard what he intended as innocuous demographic analysis. Later, as the transcripts of the video made clear that he said what everyone thought he said, Romney fell back on the classic dodge that his remarks had been taken “out of context.” A lot went wrong for...

Companies have recently been putting more effort into the workplace environment, striving to cultivate a habitat that is conducive to productivity and community. Startup companies are attempting to develop settings that are fun and social to attract young bright minds, while distinguished agencies push towards modern approaches of walls with contemporary art and glass partitions. One thing is becoming more apparent as people align their jobs with their own identity, is that you are where you work. Apple proves to be no exception to this. Phil Schiller, Apple’s head marketing chief recently stated, “Across the board, our goal is...

When Stargate Universe was canceled a few seasons ago, it marked the end of a beloved franchise that had been on the air in some form or another for well over a decade. Now rumor has it that Stargate may not be as dead as we thought. Gateworld is reporting a rumor that something is in the works to revive the show, though the medium and details are still a little fuzzy.

Don S. Davis: 1942-2008 With great sadness we must report that veteran actor Don S. Davis passed away on June 29, 2008. He was 65 years old. Don co-starred on Stargate SG-1 for the show's first seven years, helping to launch the enduring science fiction franchise.
