Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat discusses his excellent new book on the art of diplomacy. Our world today has become multipolar and is beset with conflicts seemingly incapable of resolution. Diplomacy is needed more than ever and his book provides examples and models of what has worked in the past. He provides examples of where the U.S. faltered (e.g. JCPOA with Iran) and where the U.S. succeeded in being reliable (e.g. SALT II). He describes the new world order as the postwar Bretton Woods "rules-based international order". He looks back at the Balkan Wars, the roots of the current Ukraine crisis, the failure of sanctions, and comments on the Israel-Gaza situation. He says you have to remain optimistic otherwise there's no sense in getting out of bed!

Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat: World On Brink, Diplomacy Needed More Than Ever

Attorney and author Mark Oshinskie discusses his book Dispatches From A Scamdemic, how he saw through the ruse from the start, and how the public health countermeasures were utterly phony and total lunacy. Most people kept their heads in the sand and deferred to this rising cult of "expertism". We must continue maintaining the truth of what happened and counter their attempts at establishing a revisionist history and false narrative. Resisting the mandates wasn't easy, but it was important. He hopes we've peaked in terms of excess deaths. He expects the censorship to continue into the future. The last few years were the biggest ever transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich. Trump needs to be held accountable. They could lock us down again, the masses would go along with it.

Mark Oshinskie: Dispatches from a Scamdemic, Covid Response Was Total Lunacy

David Gosselin discusses his new writings on how the Western occult oligarchy is creating a new spiritual eco-system and cult religion to better manage their populations and maintain top-down control. A lot of talking points include the UFO phenomenon and aliens or alien gnosis, so-called lost civilizations, psychedelics, and so forth. They are attempting to re-imagine Western civilization's image of man. Pop culture (e.g. X-Men) is really the exoteric version of the esoteric, a typical feature of the mystery cults and schools. The idea is that through bioengineering and the technological transformation of man's body he is going to reach higher spiritual transcendence. The UFO "disclosure" movement is a sort of false flag operation and theosophist jargon such as "Christ Consciousness" is their selling point to re-pattern society. This alchemical tradition depends on people not knowing how their tricks work, once that is demystified, their magic and spells become useless.

David Gosselin: Elites Creating New Cult Religion for Top-Down Control

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.

About Bruce LaDuke
Bruce LaDuke lives with his family on a small farm in southern Indiana.

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.

Bruce LaDuke: AI, Crypto, & Nanotech Planned Long Ago as Control Grid System

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. W shouldn't worry about Davos Man.

About David Murrin
David has been described as a polymath who started his career as a geophysicist, and who then entered finance at JP Morgan where he worked for seven years. 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.
