Truth Detective

February 4th is the date... mark it in your calendar. The day that the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 officially begins. All the athletes are ready. The olympic village has been built along with the areas where the different winter sports will take place.  There's only a few things missing... can you guess what they are? Human rights, humanitarian compassion, empathy, love, and care for those Chinese individuals that have been left out in the cold (no pun intended)... forgotten by most countries in the west... the crimes of genocide through and by way of torture, prison time, forced labor, child labor, hunger, and sterilization (just to name some) all coming from the same place; the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In this episode I will first talk about the 1936 Berlin Olympics and how it correlates to the Beijing winter Olympics 2022. Because of the atrocities, persecution, and genocide of some religious groups, there is obvious connection to the two countries and the leaders, Adolf Hitler and Xi Jinping.  Then I move into talking about the many different and difficult situations that most Chinese people have to live with every day. But no person suffers more than the religious groups within the country. I will highlight three groups that have been in the news. All are suffering with the same fate, and it's not good. Some prisoners beg for death... and most get their wish.  Also mentioned is what the CCP requires the U.S. athletes do to even be allowed to compete without having severe complications. It's a sad story but there are things that can be done. And it all starts with understanding, questioning, and action. And you can make all the difference!

Did you know that robotics and technology are huge industries in Japan? Seldom do. With all the talk about China's technology, the metaverse, technocracy, and artificial intelligence taking over, we have hardly batted an eye at Japan's robotic and technology industries and the anime art form based on giant robots through graphic novels, TV, and movies.  Not to worry, though. The Japanese are winning in big areas using robots to help their aging population, the disadvantaged, and early education of children in schools everywhere in Japan. It's true. The Japanese are industrious, intelligent, and believe in the future but are also humble, loving and want to help those individuals that need it the most. That's unfortunately an amazing and unbelievable trait nowadays. And if you're wondering, the Japanese are already at the top of their game with programming, algorithms, and robotics...easily. Just because Japan hasn't yelled it from the rooftops doesn't mean they aren't light years ahead of the countries we are wary of.  The website links in this episode: Harvard Business Review - "How Japan Uses AI And Robotics To Solve Social Issues And Achieve Economic Growth": https://hbr.org/sponsored/2020/02/how-japan-uses-ai-and-robotics-to-solve-social-issues-and-achieve-economic-growth Japan-Guide "Robots In Japan (Robotic and Companion Robots)": https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2328.html Wikipedia - Definition of the word "mecha" in relation to Anime art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha International Robot Federation website - "Robot Race The World's Top 10 Automated Countries" (“International Robot Exhibition 2022”): 1. https://ifr.org/ifr-press-releases/news/robot-race-the-worlds-top-10-automated-countries More information about the exhibition and other info.: https://factsanddetails.com/japan/cat26/sub163/item873.html Tokyo-esque - "AI Market In Japan" - Other many useful robotic applications that are currently being utilized in Japan https://tokyoesque.com/ai-market-in-japan/  Japanese robotics in early education - article from the “edvocate” website "Five Reasons To Teach Robotics In School": https://www.theedadvocate.org/five-reasons-to-teach-robotics-in-schools/ Go to the website to listen to episodes, and read the show notes with links mentioned on the episodes: http://truthdetectivepodcast.com Email: [email protected]

Merry Christmas! On this episode I talk about the Austrian/German mythical devil that is "Krampus". He visits children (and some adults) in December prior to Christmas as a reminder to be nice. It's actually more like a threat! There is the belief that he will thrash and carry bad children off to hell for being awful throughout the year. So don't do that! Fascinating though he is, we have luckily missed "Krampus" this year because he generally comes to visit on December 5th and 6th.  And, yes, now in America there are many movies, and books that bring "Krampus" to life. Some entertainment that we can already speculate as being similar to the way "Krampus" lived his mean life. Think "The Grinch", "Scrooge", and George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" and now movies with "Krampus" as the main scary character. They all have a little "Krampus" in them.  Enjoy this episode and be kind and loving to everybody this year or else "Krampus" will visit you, too.

In this episode I tell a Christmas story of my very own about going to upstate New York in the wintery holiday season to be with my dear friends in a German-style resort area.  It's true! In 2007 I started going upstate to spend the holiday season with friends. These trips to the Catskills continued for 10 years. It was a great time filled with joy and laughter, and lots of holiday fun! That cozy feeling... the friends, the fireplace, the Christmas tree with multi-colored lights, the great food, the snow, the hot chocolate, the presents... it had it all. Until one day... it didn't.

What is the "Metaverse"? What can I say? There are so many concepts to think about when we want to answer the question. “Singularity”, “Transhumanism”, and the “Metaverse” are some of the hot button words that describe the next era in our reality. Or is it a reality? Is living in an augmented, virtual space a reality? Some would say yes, it can be. You and I will be able to do, be, and decide what happens in our "Metaverse". Well, that sounds cool, right? In this episode, I will leave the question up to you to decide on your own if it's going to self-destruct the beauty of our mind and our physical real world that we do live in. And perhaps the “Metaverse” is a term that is scary to some and curious to others. Any way we look at the “Metaverse”, it's not that new. As a matter of fact, the concept of the technological "Metaverse" has been around for a long time. Carefully studied and crafted for its big reveal. Getting us ready for something that will “blow our minds”, “expand our future”, “make life fun”, “make you more productive”, "buy things with virtual currency" and anything else you want to be, do, or have. Everything and anything is possible. Name it. Put on your “Metaverse” gear and be dazzled at the delights before you. I unlock some basic features of the "Metaverse" from some influential people such as Ray Kurzweil. These people substantiate that the “Metaverse” will make your life here on this planet better if you buy into what they are selling. Or maybe your life will be worse depending on what side you look at it from.  Life is in constant change so is it any wonder that eventually technology and the technocrats that make up the future decisions will take over what we do? Is the planet ready to be overrun by the technology of all things such as the life of everyone and the life of all things in nature? Does technology, and technocrats have the key to our future?

What is it like to be the same as everyone else? We will hopefully never find out but being the same seems more and more likely as time ticks on. The future of humanity does seem to be going toward a futuristic, technocratic society. And that ought to scare anybody. It's the unknown that is completely uncomfortable.  In this episode, I review the 1993 book, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. And eventually, in 2014 "The Giver" became a movie, as well.  We quickly learn that everyone in the community is the same. No freedom to speak your feelings, wear what you want, play, sing, dance, or have any kind of enjoyment. The "bad" or destructive behavior is frowned upon and vehemently discouraged. But why? Well, having "difference" was when all the problems and destruction began back and back and back. Many years ago. So "The Elders" in the society, as a whole, decided that in order to make all the destruction and failures go away, all the communities would convert to "sameness", where there will be nothing but success... as far as climate control, famine, war, and so on is concerned. Even humans are successful as long as they keep to the rules of "sameness".  Quickly, what would normally be thought of as a utopia (a place with absolutely no problems), if that even exists, becomes a nightmarish dystopia; a hellish place where the problems are insurmountable and hard to fix.  Is there any hope of turning back the time, having all memories back once again? Will there be emotions, feelings, and doing what you want when you want? Or is it too late?  And what does this movie tell us about our own future? Technology, technocracy, AI, the metaverse, virtual reality, and so much more are big plans that are in the works right now.  Scary but true.

The first amendment. We all have these wonderful rights but do you know what all of these rights entail? There are five rights in this great, and all-important, first amendment. Freedom of speech, freedom to assemble (protest) peaceably, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and the freedom to redress a grievance.  These unalienable rights that are our first amendment were addressed many years ago by our founding fathers and are so important to us all. It was our great "Founding Fathers" that realized and could foresee what might happen in the future if the first amendment wasn't created.  Without the first amendment and all that it encompasses, we Americans would not be able to live our lives and do what we want when we want, and how we want. We wouldn't be able to express ourselves (with our actions), voice our opinions, and have debates. Americans would find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to be able to listen to the news, listen to music, go on the internet, read or write a book, protest for a cause, dance, sing your song, and so much more. We would definitely lose a lot of our identity. It's a scary thought. This is a must-listen-to episode! And luckily for our first amendment, you can do so.  Links for in this episode: Simple 5-minute video on the freedom of speech (made in 2019): https://youtu.be/ZLEJAyy_JsY "What If We Didn't Have The First Amendment?": https://www.mic.com/articles/188402/what-if-we-didnt-have-the-first-amendment Freedom of Speech Explained: https://informationstation.org/video/freedom-of-speech-explained/ Pirate Radio In Boulder: https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/the-last-remaining-radio-pirates-broadcasting-for-freedom The Story of the White Rose and Sophie Scholl: https://www.citizensforfreespeech.org/the_courageous_story_of_the_white_rose Freedom of Speech - Pro's and Con's: https://connectusfund.org/17-freedom-of-speech-pros-and-cons "Hey, Americans, Appreciate Your Freedom of Speech" (NPR): https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103521950 "The Price of Candy Will Be Higher This Halloween": https://informationstation.org/kitchen_table_econ/the-price-of-candy-will-be-higher-this-halloween/

Have you heard of the "Internet of Things"? The "Internet of Behavior", the "Internet of Everything"? The "Internet of All Things"? No. Neither had I but, as I was sitting quietly on a Sunday afternoon there it was... the article on the "Internet of All Things". Very intriguing. Here, too, as in the last episode, I discover and uncover yet another part of technocracy. The "Internet of All Things" and the SMART devices we can't live without...or can we?  I always harken back to my own quote, "Everything has to do with everything." and in this episode that everything is YOU. The Internet of All Things starts innocent enough... one app here, permission to use your location there, easy banking from your phone, you can see how it would get out of hand very quickly.  It's an interconnected web (or cloud) that involves gathering everything about you. Your habits, your behaviors, your various locations, your banking data, your shopping data, when you do things, and with whom you do them. It keeps getting deeper and more sinister as time ticks on.  The more they (the government, the corporations, big tech, big pharma, apps, etc.) know about you, the harder your private life seems to become. Maybe we don't want these SMART devices after all. What have we gained by having them, really? Compared to the other side of big wig technocrats, we've gained nothing...and given up a lot... and yet, we still keep giving.

What is technocracy? What is a technocrat? It's technology on steroids and much more than that. The individuals that make up the elite world of technocracy are very special. And they call themselves technocrats. They really do know what's best for themselves, the elites, the country, the world, and ultimately YOU, or so we've been told.  Technocrats see the world differently. And if I could get into the brain of a technocrat for only an hour, I suppose I would start to understand where their thoughts are and why these individuals do what they do, and think what they think. It would be a difficult hour for sure. In the scientific, technology, bioethics, eugenic, biosphere the technocrat has much to be excited about. The upcoming advancements in artificial intelligence, space exploration, and sustainable living could be great but there might be a hidden agenda. What about the downside of technocracy? Is there a downside? The so-called "Death Panels" seem rather sinister and I don't think all humans are ready to get on board with this seemingly dark piece of the technocracy puzzle. All we can do is see where it leads us.

What is a "Shadow Government"? That is the topic this week on Truth Detective. As some would say, it's very complicated. And it really is! The concept of a shadow government involves many deep, dark, and perhaps, sinister secrets that are invisible to most all Americans. We have two choices here. We can ignore the secrecy of what's going on behind closed doors in the government or we can research and question everything about what's going on behind closed doors.  If we choose the latter we might be able to make the incremental changes that will help Americans get back into control, even if it's in small ways.
