Geopolitics & Empire

Bruce LaDuke discusses Artificial Innovation, Artificial Reasoning, Artificial Intelligence, and how The Powers That Be are interested in harnessing AI for a control grid rather than to empower humanity. A lot of these things such as AI, nanotechnology, and even cryptocurrencies were already preplanned and worked out in the 1980s. They are likely to tokenize everything for a digital matrix and digital prison, which is forming very quickly. There is also potential for hyper-technology and the most astounding era we've seen. There's a large faction of the elite or techno-aristocracy pushing neo-feudalism and transhumanism. A replacement economy is necessary because of all this new technology. He agrees AGI will not be possible, it would have to have a spiritual component to it. However, we are moving toward quantum technology which is spiritual. AI is like brute force thinking and its capabilities are exaggerated, but we are on the cusp of Artificial Reasoning, where the machine can actually think and reason. We are leaning toward the Social Credit System type model.

In 1986, after several years of deep interdisciplinary study on human creativity, Bruce invented Artificial Innovation (AIN). He initially held delivery of this until he could better understand the social impact. Around 2010, when he attempted to deliver AIN, he was met with fierce opposition from the AI establishment, who he perceived at that time was mainly interested in building an 'AI control grid.' At great personal cost, Bruce decided to start his entire career over and began work as a contract clerk so he could study AIN in business in real time. He eventually worked his way into a major pharmaceutical company in Indianapolis, IN, and after 20 years there, he moved to a major insrance company in Louisville, KY where he is currently serving as an Associate Director. During these years of regular employment, he studied AIN from a business context. Eventually, he came to understand that he had developed a framework for how Artificial Reasoning (ARE) and Artificial Innovation (AIN) combine to form Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). He also designed a business system to support full company automation and the application of ASI in business. During his years of employment he simultaneously volunteered in community and economic development. Bruce used these volunteer experiences to develop a social system and replacement economy for ASI. He is currently volunteering to establish Borden ASI Institute in southern Indiana to pilot this social system and replacement economy. He strongly believes that the AI community at large has been incredibly irresponsible in there approach, largely ignoring societal impacts to focus on personal profit and control. ASI is not just another technology, it is a global paradigm shift. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://mus...

David Murrin discusses his system of forecasting global geopolitics and market trends, which takes into account the stages of empire and imperial decline. There is a rhythm and drumbeat to war which has a bigger cycle of 112 years. We're looking at a struggle between maritime (lateral) democratic governance and landpower (hierarchical) autocratic governance. Democracy is weaker than its ever been. America entered the fifth stage of decline with 9/11. Western leadership is blind and driving the world to war, we're over the brink. WWIII started with the invasion of Ukraine, the Middle East is now on fire, and the last piece of the puzzle is when China chooses to go to war. Decline (e.g. USA) means the fracturing of systems and less to go around. We will continue to see de-dollarization, high inflation, and higher oil and gold prices. Bitcoin, blockchains, and crypto are temporary safe havens that will eventually collapse. We shouldn't worry about Davos Man.

Since then for more than two and a half decades he has been running his own hedge fund. During his financial career, his main focus has been on finding and understanding collective human behavioral patterns that comprise the study of human systems behavior. Including deep-seated ‘patterns’ in history and then using them to predict the future for geopolitics and markets in today’s turbulent times. He has a remarkable track record. David has written four books. Breaking the Code of History recognizes that post 9/11, the world changed in an instant. Using his theory's of human social structures he was able to successfully predict back in 2007 the key process in human social structures that have impacted today’s changing world, including the decline of America and the West and the rise of China, and the reality of climate change. His second book released in 2018 is Lions Led By Lions which examines Britain’s misunderstood involvement in the First World War and the achieved learning curve of its Army's leadership that resulted in a war-winning British Expeditionary Force rolling back the German Army in 1918. The story provides clear lessons that should be applied by today's leaders concerning the deterrence of global conflict. David's third book is a call to arms, in which his Now or Never UK Defense Review highlights the clear and present threats faced by Britain in the years and decade ahead from Russia and especially China, and the urgency for the need for large scale rearmament to secure the future peace. David's latest book Red Lightning which integrates fact and fiction and describes from a future perspective how China wins WW3 in 2025. It is a sober warning to the leaders of the Western World, that peace will only be maintained by a hard-won deterrence of aggression. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": ...

Katie Gorka discusses her new book on the takeover of America by what she calls "NextGen" Marxism. The original and failed dystopian idea of communism has a taken on a new form of revolutionary strategy. One of her greatest concerns is the current weaponization of law enforcement for political purposes. She remains hopeful and her book suggests a 10-point action plan which includes taking action locally. People are much less afraid today and are speaking up, Americans aren't going to take this lying down.

John Bosnitch gives a wide-ranging discussion on the last days of the empire and new world order. Tyranny is rising in the West as the Military-Industrial-Complex continues to exert its power. He dives into deep politics and tells stories of his history of fighting the oligarchy, his personal interactions with Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, and who he thinks the controllers are. He is optimistic WW3 can be averted, but the defense industry uses the constant threat of war to keep the money flowing. Russia has bounced back from the brink.

Nick Corbishley discusses the most important issue of our day: the deployment of digital identity programs which by their own admission can "open up" or "close off" the digital and analog world to individuals. The EU is at the forefront of introducing Digital ID and helping other regions around the world do the same. Brussels insists they will be voluntary yet countries like Greece are already making them mandatory. We're talking about a new social contract in which the public has ever decreasing influence over their own lives. The EU is actively anti-democratic in its very essence, which is how it was designed. Multipolarity is a nice idea, but these governments are much further along the road toward killing cash and launching CBDCs. The U.S. and NATO are positioning in Latin America via countries like Argentina to keep regional powerhouses like Brazil in check. Location will be important for surviving the Digital Dictatorship, however, there is some hope because of the hubris and incompetence of the elite.

James Bovard discusses his new book on the death of liberty in America. The U.S. government has become an oppressive force which steals upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars annually from its citizens through civil asset forfeiture, silences Americans through its Orwellian Ministry of Truth, and imposes burdensome security theater (e.g. TSA) among many other forms of tyranny. He describes the attempts to take guns away and whether he thinks they will succeed, this idea of a second civil war, and how people were stampeded into submission on Covid. There is no substitute for courage and self-reliance is part of that. The death of liberty in America is not foreordained.
