Judge Moves to Shut Down Trump Inc.

Paul Collier September 28, 2023

In the latest lawfare assault against the perceived strongest opposition to the DNC-CCP, a New York Judge, Arthur Engoron, decided to find Trump guilty fraud in a summary judgment that essentially blocks Trump and certain Trump Inc executives from doing business in New York state anymore. The judge claimed the whole case was a documents case, charging him with fraud whenever he claimed the business was more valuable than the judge says it is, despite never going through the process of discovery to determine that alleged “fact.”

The ruling, if it is allowed to stand, could make criminals of anyone who estimated their net worth beyond what a judge thinks it is if that estimate was used to gain favorable terms. No one was harmed in this alleged fraud other than the Trump-deranged judge’s feelings.

The Judge said in his 35-page ruling, “the documents here clearly contain fraudulent valuations that defendants used in business, satisfying [the attorney general’s] burden to establish liability as a matter of law against defendants. Defendants’ respond that: the documents do not say what they say; that there is no such thing as ‘objective; value; and that, essentially, the Court should not believe its own eyes.”

The Court has no objective standard to assess the actual value of the Trump empire other than the judge’s unfounded opinions.

It could very well be that Trump exaggerated valuation claims in various business dealings and that could technically be deemed “fraud,” but these types of exaggerations are never prosecuted like they have been against Trump.

The judge was elected by an overwhelmingly Democrat-majority district and is a registered Democrat.

The Trump team will appeal this case, but unless they can get before American, as opposed to Democrat judges, that appeal is likely to fail until it reaches the Supreme Court. Then we can find out if the judiciary has any Americans left in it or not.

Trump said of the ruling, “I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen.” This writer is inclined to agree with him. The ruling makes everyone ow at risk that does business in New York state and fails to comply to the will of the Democratic Party. This is just another reason for anyone who CAN escape Democrat-run states to do so before another leftist judge arbitrarily decides to find you guilty of fraud for challenging the party’s power.

EMPOWERMENT 101: Building A Sense Of Community

Bill Collier September 26, 2023

We propose that a most BASIC individual empowerment in our country MUST begin with an approach that restores the lost sense of community provided by faith, family, and mutual support, at least for those who desire freedom and who refuse to be limited, defined, or controlled by the present-day shot-callers in our civilization.

Most approaches to empowerment, which is you fulfilling your own God-given scroll of destiny and purpose and God’s best for your life, are either too esotoric and filled with buzzwords and catch-phrases or they lean on massive scale change through some form of collective activism. What they lack are both practical methods and attainable means. Citing some notion of getting in the flow of some energy or will of the universe is as useless to workaday people as wishing somehow to remake a city or country in your own image through collective action.

We aren’t arguing that none of these things are useful at all. They can be, and they can enhance and expand upon your own efforts to become empowered. But we are at “empowerment 101” here, not advanced empowerment where you want to dig deeper into your soul or where you want to help many other people find the same level of empowerment for themselves.

When I was in Mexico visiting friends who are like kin and saw how they approach life, and even how some live, mostly in close connection to an inner circle of people who have each other’s backs, I witnessed a lot of what I wrote about in terms of empowerment. Empowerment begins with an inner circle of people who care for each other as kin, as if the good of one is sought by all, and yet nobody’s individuality is subordinated to some weird collectivist hippy cult commune.

The end state of this stage for many may be something like I saw in Mexico, and which exists all over the world, basically a “family” estate which many members live in but which all resort to frequently for social and other purposes as the physical hub of their inner circle.

If we broaden the concept of family to include an innner circle of around 20-30 adult relatives and friends who are like family, with the nuclear family of a mom and dad with their children at the core, we begin to see what family can mean. Family is far more than a mom and dad with their children and dependents, and maybe an older parent who lives with them, but a collection of enough adult members so that most hazards and burdens can be handled internally and most needs can be meet, even if a few members are totally disabled or temporarily down and out.

The destruction of extended family groups like this, again not all members are related by blood or marriage, is a necessary precursor to creating economic and other forms of disempowerment because it makes the individual or a married couple and their children easy prey to almost any eocnomic or other pressure. The net effect is that you can’t pursue your dream, your vision, or your self-interest effectively outside of the limits, which others, even slightly more wealthy and/or influential people, set for you. Your energy and the fruits of your labor are spent at least partially in feathering someone else’s nest who doesn’t care a bit for you. For some, little of your energy and the fruits of your labor benefit you or your dreams very much at all.

In my experience, I witnessed a family group centered on one large house with multiple rooms and apartments, a sprawling and lively space with almost a perfect balance of public, semi-private (inner circle only), and private spaces where everyone could come together and where one could just as easily find solitude. Not everyone was a resident, and some residents were renters who nonetheless enjoyed access to some semi-private spaces and who were treated more or less like kin. The people who were part of this extended household included family and friends who lived on site, family and friends who didn’t live on site, but who were there a lot, and renters who lived on site.

This “villa”, in the heart of a historic Mexican city dating back over 400 years, was the central hub for multiple nuclear families and unmarried adults, complete with rentals to the public and even a few small shops right off the main street. Inside, one felt it was another world, set apart from the surrounding city, but not isolated from its life, and indeed very much a positive part of the city life. I was amazed at how little the people there realized the novelty of what to some sounds like an experiment in clustered living but which for them had been part of life more or less since the 1600’s, so obviously it is a workable model.

Due to respect for privacy, and because I wasn’t visiting there to compile a report for public consumption, I won’t share pictures or details. Suffice it to say, because I have a history with this family dating back to the 1990s, I was more or less treated as a member while there and experienced their life as if I had always lived there. It is a place I am happy to say that if I ever needed a respite or chose to leave my own country, where I would be welcome and fit in. My own desire to master Spanish is driven substantially by a desire to spend more time down there.

I may have been a Gringo to the outside world, but to these people I was like a relative visiting from abroad and “coming home”, and that will always be something I deeply cherish. That their instinctive, unplanned model of community tracks so well with my own planned and envisioned model of community doesn’t surprise me because I studied family and community models across many cultures and civilizations from the most ancient to the most modern times and discerned in them a pattern which very much looks like this Mexican family’s estate, both the phyical space and the people/relationships within it.

The ability to form a close-knit inner circle of local people who, inasmuch as they can, approximate this ideal, even if their only hub is a single house and none cluster together on one piece of real estate, is essential to the kind of empowerment that one doesn’t have to be rich to attain and that is stronger than most of the external pressures that often rob you of your empowerment today.

In Mexico, this family already had a ready-made community of people, but they have welcomed others in, such as myself. Perhaps you and your family and friends have a ready-made community and don’t realize it, but as many families are dispersed and live in different states and as many of our friends may be online, and as few neighbors know each other, the idea of trying to form some sort of “intentional estate” with 20-30 other local adults is daunting. Despite this, however, it is the ultimate necessity, though by no means does it have to begin there and, if you use these ideas, you can enjoy real benefits well before that ideal is achieved.

Family can form around a number of things including blood and marriage, some experience unique to your group (like veterans), religious and/or philosophical convictions about life and its meaning, or something we refer to as a form of “intentional nationhood.” The concept behind intentional nationhood is that there are multiple connection points between individuals whose strength is such that when people act in unity it is more a natural effect of their shared identity and purpose and requires little or no directed management from some “authority.”

Unlike blood and marriage kinship, nationhood is something people have to understand and adopt willingly, from the heart, because it just FITS who and what they are, which also means that when they find others of the same nationhood, there is a strong instant connection to build rapport and engagement around. Loosely similar to this, the fact I know this family’s history, try to speak the language, eat the same food, have the same essential beliefs, and the such, all allowed me to form a sort of nationhood with them, even to the point I have been given an adoptive name I use with them. A part of me is Mexican, even though by blood I have no Mexican ancestry, though my wife certainly does.

I should note also that the vision for a new globally distributed form of nationhood people can adopt to connect with a worldwide community of like-minded fellow travelers would easily fit within the “shared nationhood” that this extended family group seems to follow, even if they don’t use the term. I anticipate for many extended family groups in Mexico, adopting this global nationhood as part of their own nationhood will probably be easier than for many Americans, but that it is essential that Americans learn to do this, or something like it, if we are to restore the social fabric in this country.

Forming a sense of community with others can begin with a semi-formal agreement as to a set of ideals and principles and/or goals but also a pledge of mutual support through something like what we call “the four questions of fellowship”, namely:

Does anyone know of a praiseworthy example of success that we could benefit from learning and applying to our lives and our fellowship together?

Does anyone have an example of a cautionary tale or of failure we would do well to take cognizance of in our lives and in our fellowship together?

Does anyone have a problem or need or situation they cannot handle and for which they cannot get help or advice which we might assist them with or advise them regarding?

Does anyone need an introduction to some person of influence, wealth, or power who can advance their career, business, or situation which perhaps we might help them with?

If you found 5-10 people to get together on a regular basis and break bread over these four questions, you would naturally, organically, and without much fuss or hassle begin the experience the benefits of a what will feel more and more like an extended family group than just a few friends. This simple direction added to your fellowship together will add many new dimensions and open up opportunities for mutual advancement and advantage that nobody can predict or outline as some “program.”

In addition to these questions, there is a need for a pledge, we use the term “Pledge of Common Unity”, which is more detailed and specific, but basically comes down to you pledge to follow the same standards and norms among each other AND to do all in your power and means to support and protect one another to the degree you feel their well-being, happiness, and success is also essential to your own well-being, happiness, and success.

We detail ideals and principles which form the basis of our shared standards and norms and how we will mutually support one another as well as some of our shared goals, for instance outreach to help the needy and support for refugees. What is important is to essentially create a charter that acts as a pledge that is specific enough to be meaningful without being overwrought with formality and non-essentials. A loose pledge has no meaning or value because it doesn’t translate to action, but a narrow and too detailed pledge can become, frankly, controlling and cultish in its effect.

Starting to build a sense of community is as simple as that. But finding people who will take the plunge may be more difficult. It’s probably the hardest first step to define your community, e.g. beliefs and purposes, then to somehow reach people who see that and say, “I like that, it fits me.”

If you have close-knit family and friends already, find what is common to them, define your community on that basis, and ask them to participate in your periodic gatherings, using a meal and the four questions, for mutual support and benefit. If most of my closer kin moved near me, we would easily have a sense of community and could work toward building a family estate because in terms of religion, lifestyle, and philosophy, the adoption of the global nationhood I am promoting actually fits them well.

But in many cases, this isn’t possible. You may not have a church home, which can be a place where you find fellow travelers willing to participate in such an adventure, but you may not. You may live in an area where you know a few other people who you would be willing or able to become so connected to. In these cases, starting an online club around your idea and advertising, perhaps through fliers or even online ads, to find like-minded people around you may be all you can do. This may cost less than or around a few hundred dollars over time, but as soon as you find 5 or so people the chances are one or more of them will know other people they can recommend to join your club.

If you stay tuned in this space, we will have examples of charters, including how to use or adapt our Pledge of Common Unity and/or our Pledge of Peers, to form your own independent, Freedomist, or what we call Upadarian (new word alert: the name for a specific global Christian community), Communities. We are offering affiliation within our larger Freedomist and/or Upadarian frameworks, but the concepts, methods, and practices for forming community with others can be adapted easily to your own thing as well.

In conclusion, we posit the idea that if you seek empowerment to be able to follow your own path of destiny and purpose and to fulfill what you see as God’s best for your life, then “empowerment 101” for you should be to find and form your own inner circle who begin with shared standards and norms and at least the four questions of fellowship along with some sort of pledge for mutual support, assurance, and benefit that feels like kinship.

Scientists Discover the Most Primitive Form of “Thought-Making” Cells

Paul Collier September 22, 2023

A primitive animal called a placozoan may contain the secrets of the fundamental building blocks of thought-making cells. The animal is blob-like in appearance and is composed of only 50,000 cells, compared to 30 trillion cells humans are comprised of. But the blob placozoan has one similarity with humans, they have cells capable of sharing messages with one another, the fundamental building blocks of “thought producing” cells.

From elpias.com: The researchers care for thousands of placozoans in their laboratory in the Center for Genomic Regulation, in Barcelona. According to their calculations, multicellular animals emerged about 850 million years ago. Soon afterward, around 800 million years ago, the paths of the families that gave rise to placozoans and humans diverged. “People have a tendency to see living fossils in nature. We don’t know if our common ancestor looked like a placozoan, but some aspects of its biology were already there,” says Sebé Pedrós, a 37-year-old biologist from the Spanish town of Lleida. GO DEEPER

His team studied the four known species of placozoans cell by cell, including the first placozoan ever discovered, which was found in 1883 by the German zoologist Franz Eilhard Schulze in a seawater aquarium in Graz, Austria. Schulze baptized that mysterious creature Trichoplax adhaerens, from the Greek words thrix (hair) and plax (plate) and the Latin word adhaerens (adhering), which was given this name due to its tendency to stick to its substrate. In other words, its name could be roughly translated as “adhering hairy plate.” Placozoans are the simplest animals on the planet, barring Myxozoa, parasites with few cells that cannot live on their own.

In their research, Sebé Pedrós and his colleagues observed that placozoans are capable of coordinating their 50,000 cells thanks to the fact that some of them can send messages using molecules called neuropeptides, like the neurons in the human brain. “We have found a rudiment of certain aspects of our nervous system,” says the biologist. These secretory cells still lack the processes that transmit nerve impulses (axons) and the processes that receive them (dendrites) in human neurons.

This article starts off with this phrase, which led this writer to want to utilize this story, and another one related to it, to flush out the ramifications of pursuing understanding through the framework of the atheist materialist versus that of the biblically-centered Christian: Most religions across the world have a similar origin story, in which an almighty god creates mankind, out of nothing, with a fully functioning brain. But placozoans — a blob-like animal less than a millimeter in size that floats in seawater — suggest otherwise. They may go unnoticed, but they are extraordinary creatures.

From an atheist materialist perspective, you are seeing the evidence of the relationship that this blob creature, this placozoan, has with humans. We must have a common ancestor and at some time we split apart, with one branch leading to blobs and the other leading to humans. From a biblical perspective (the perspective this report seeks to emulate) we are seeing one of the ways in which God has created the fundamental building blocks of his biological creations.

Studying this organism can lead us to better understand human thought as a biological phenomenon, which can lead to more effective treatments for people who suffer a biological impediment to thought itself.

At the same time as this study was revealed, scitechdaily.com covered another study that theorized genes for thought (they use the phrase “learning and memory”) are 650 million years old. They theorize that the emergence of these types of genes led to the Cambrian Explosion, a period that saw an explosion of diverse organisms that still confounds evolutionary theory to this day (and which this new “theory” fails to adequately address).

From SciTech Daily: “This finding has profound implications on the evolutionary origin of complex behaviors such as those modulated by monoamines we observe in humans and other animals.”

The authors suggest that this new way to modulate neuronal circuits might have played a role in the Cambrian Explosion – known as the Big Bang – which gave rise to the largest diversification of life for most major animal groups alive today by providing flexibility of the neural circuits to facilitate the interaction with the environment.

Dr. Feuda added: “This discovery will open new important research avenues that will clarify the origin of complex behaviors and if the same neurons modulate reward, addiction, aggression, feeding, and sleep.”

In 1620, Francis Bacon published the work “The Great Instauration.” That book could be seen as the unintended starting point of the quest for man to make himself by deriving wisdom from below instead of from above. Bacon himself was no proponent of this materialist myth, the myth these researchers are mired in, rather, he recognized that the use of what is called “induction,” (deriving higher principles from lower ones, such as observing material and documenting your observations, which became the scientific method) can be a great tool for Christians to understand material being for the higher purpose of witnessing the glory of God to all creation by being a steward of material, by manipulating material for the glory of God. When it came to wisdom, Bacon was still using deduction, deriving particular truths, atomized truths if you will, from higher truths, the Word of God through which the nature and will of God is revealed through the Holy Spirit to all those who fear and love the Lord.

It was a Christian invention, the scientific method, derived to glorify God, but in the hands of these researchers, and others like them, it’s become a Satanic tool that seeks to glorify man by imagining he can derive his own wisdom (he can “know”, or define, Good and Evil for himself, he can define justice) from the stones, from the material alone.

So their research is about justifying their own depravity, rejecting the creator in exchange for a lie, rather than what Christian researchers would do, use this understanding of the basic building blocks of thought to create aid and comfort to creation for the purpose of glorifying the only living God, the God of Isaac and Jacob, the I Am tnat is Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Illinois Governor Does Secret Deal with CCP, Setting Up Battery Company in State

Paul Collier September 22, 2023

The Chinese Communist Party-owned Gotion, a battery manufacturing company, did a secret deal with the Billionaire anti-American radical far left governor J.B. Pritzker that allowed them to set up a factory in a community that wants nothing to do with them. That community is Manteno, Illinois, and the residents are angry at the governor for allowing this sedition to take place on their lands.

Daily Caller talked to some of the residents after the done deal was announced by the treasonous governor on September 8. One resident, Darrel Bruck Jr, Told Daily Caller “There was absolutely no public participation or notification that this was going [on],” Darrel Bruck Jr., a longtime resident of Manteno who runs an informational group called “Outrage of Kankakee County. There were probably 200 people [at the announcement], but the public was not invited. It was strictly for local politicians, the mayor, some local people who owned land who will make a lot of money off strip malls and such.”

Daily Caller connects this CCP-owned company to another anti-American extreme far left seditionist governor, Gretchen Whitmer, who has allowed the company to build plants in that state as well. From the Daily Caller: The Chinese parent company of Gotion Inc., which intends to build two electric battery plants in Michigan, established a joint venture company with a “Communist Chinese Military Company (CCMC) Subsidiary” in 2016, according to the framework agreement.

In 2016, Gotion High-Tech became the majority shareholder of Energine Guoxuan (Tangshan) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., after entering into a Strategic Cooperative Framework Agreement with China Energine International (Holdings) Limited, according to an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s issuer website and a 2016 interim report published by China Energine.

Republican State Representative John Moolenar (R) alerted the treasonous Governor to the company’s CCP ties, telling Daily Caller, “It is no surprise that Gotion High-Tech partnered with China Energine to develop products for China’s military. The finding that Gotion High-Tech has done business directly with China’s military is further proof that Gotion is not a good partner to build in Michigan.”

Like the Democrat Governor of Illinois, Whitmer sees no problem inviting the CCP onto American soil even as the CCP works to end our republic, testified even by our own military, which is busy retooling its whole military structure to meet the rising threat of an imperialist fascist regime.

Watching the DNC-CCP embrace the fascist CCP at home while larping at being anti-fascist on that same soil should tell you everything you need to know about the seditious nature of the leftism this Democratic Party has embraced and is now attempting to force on the American people, against their will, and in violation of our Rule of Law, our Constitution, and ESPECIALLY our Bill of Rights.

Lawsuit Against SBF’s Parents Exposes DNC Dark Money Machine Worth Billions

Paul Collier September 21, 2023

The lawsuit against FTX founder and crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Allen Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried reveal a massive dark money network that saw FTX siphon billions of scammed dollars to DNC-CCP organizations and PACs, and his parents might have been the ones pushing it the whole time.

From Yahoo Finance: Sam Bankman-Fried’s mom encouraged him to donate millions to politicans — including to a PAC she chaired — via other FTX executives, according to a lawsuit seen by Insider.

Lawyers handling the crypto exchange’s bankruptcy case are suing Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, accusing them of siphoning millions of dollars from company funds.

That includes a $10 million gift which lawyers say has been used for Bankman-Fried’s legal defense, and a $16.4 million beachfront house in the Bahamas. FTX’s lawyers are hoping to recoup that money to help pay back customers.

The father, Allan Jospeh Bankman, allegedly had communications with his son that indicated he had access to Arabella funds, these are funds the family created that did not have to discplose their donors. Through these funds, the family sent billions to DNC-CCP interests, funding them, essentially with stolen money from the FTX crypto scam.

From the Free Beacon: The FTX lawsuit alleges that Allan Joseph Bankman and his wife, Barbara Fried—both Stanford Law professors and major Democratic donors—played a direct role in FTX’s downfall through breaches of fiduciary duties, fraudulent transfers, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit cited Bankman’s discussions of his son’s partnership with Arabella as proof he had “unfettered access” to FTX’s finances.

“It’s alarming to learn the extent to which Sam Bankman-Fried and his family are clearly tangled in the Left’s dark money web,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland said. “It should raise serious questions and scrutiny about SBF’s Washington pay-to-play scheme and how he tried to use the Arabella apparatus to further his ill-gotten influence.”

Both of SBF’s parents have deep ties to what might be called the Deep State well before SBF rose to power with FTX. It is looking more and more like the parents were the real masterminds behind the whole affair, using their son as the frontman in a dark money laundering scheme intended to deliver to the DNC-CCP billions of dollars that were used to win elections and shake down businesses that didn’t allow DNC-CCP organizations to inject monitors into their businesses to assure their compliance with the party line.

This is why, this writer theorizes, the DOJ, run by Lawfare Assassin-in-Chief Merrick Garland, mysteriously dropped all campaign finance charges against SBF, to keep this information out of the spotlight, to protect the DNC-CCP from the truth of the nature of much of its real power, dark money, whose sources are theft and foreign powers buying agents willing to sacrifice the republic for their personal, family gains.

More from the Free Beacon Arabella claims it only provides back-office administrative support to New Venture Fund and the other nonprofit funds in its network. But documents obtained by the Free Beacon show Arabella wields centralized control over the funds, which hauled in a combined $3.3 billion in 2020 and 2021 and used those resources to operate hundreds of Democratic projects across the country. Each of those projects is managed by a team of Arabella employees, including an account manager and a managing director.

Sam Bankman-Fried was a major force in Democratic circles prior to his downfall in November. He was the second-largest individual political donor in the 2022 election cycle and has donated more than $40 million to Democratic candidates and political committees. Bankman-Fried gave $5 million to President Joe Biden’s primary Super PAC, Future Forward, in 2020, and the disgraced financier also gave $300,000 to Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee, which oversaw his industry.

In return, Bankman-Fried was granted unfettered access to powerful Democrats. The disgraced crypto kingpin visited Biden’s top adviser, Steve Ricchetti, and other officials across four visits to the White House in 2022 as he waged an aggressive lobbying campaign in Washington, D.C., for cryptocurrency regulation. Prior to FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried’s competitors alleged he was trying to use his government connections to regulate his competition out of the market.

Artificial Womb is Ready for Human Testing

Paul Collier September 21, 2023

Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) are ready to test their artificial womb on humans. In 2017, the researchers used the artificial womb to help premature baby lambs grow to full gestation. Now, 6 years later, the researchers are ready to begin trials on humans.

From scientificamerican.com:

In a natural womb, a fetus receives oxygen, nutrients, antibodies and hormonal signals and gets rid of waste through the placenta, a transient organ in which fetal blood interacts with maternal blood. Of these various roles, artificial-womb technology is most focused on providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide, replacing the mechanical ventilators that are often used for neonates. These can damage fragile developing lungs that would otherwise still be filled with amniotic fluid.

The artificial womb “would bridge a baby born extremely premature through those days and weeks when they’re most at risk for lung and brain damage,” Werner says. The CHOP group has signalled that it would wean babies off its system after a few weeks, when their organs are more fully developed and their likelihood of healthy survival is higher.

The group’s system would work by placing extremely premature babies into what it calls a Biobag, filled with an electrolyte-laden fluid designed to mimic amniotic fluid. Surgeons would connect the blood vessels in the umbilical cord to a system that oxygenates blood outside the body. The fetal heart would still pump blood as it does in the natural womb.

The researchers have named their artificial womb, EXTEND, which stands for Extra-Uterine Environment for Newborn Development. The womb is NOT supposed to be a replacement for a human womb unless and until a newborn is less than 70 percent of the way to to full term. As a matter of fact, the womb wouldn’t, couldn’t fully gestate a human child from conception to birth.

A fetal surgeon at CHOP, Dr. Alan Flake, said of the experiment, “If it’s as successful as we think it can be, ultimately, the majority of pregnancies that are predicted at-risk for extreme prematurity would be delivered early onto our system rather than being delivered premature onto a ventilator.”

It appears that the team intentionally developed a womb that can never be used to gestate a human for a full pregnancy term, and thus they seem to wish to hope to avoid the ethical questions that might otherwise rise from such an experiment.

Still, the very creation of an artificial womb opens up many scientific ethical questions, such as “is it moral to “grow” humans in laboratories? It is only a matter of time, after all, until some research team decides to take what’s learned through EXTEND and seek to build an artificial womb that COULD allow scientists to “grow” humans in laboratories.

We have no idea just how important to the development of a human being it is to be gestated in the womb of another living human being. Beyond the basic biological needs and protections a womb provides, there may be other elements of gestation science might not ever be able to grasp (such as the “emotional” needs a mother might provide to the unborn child that a fake womb would never be able to duplicate).

The development of this technology COULD lead to more dangerous artificial wombs that COULD one day lead to humans being grown in labs, but it could also save the lives of thousands of premature babies per year in America alone.

It is probably only a matter of time before some state will allow experiments that lead to growing humans in labs, but, despite that, this particular development could be a game-changer for so many parents that might otherwise have lost their child, but now might have options to save their child’s life.

Do You Want a Brain Implant Linking You to the Internet?

Paul Collier September 21, 2023

Elon Musk’s company Neuralink is ready to begin testing its product on humans after alleged burning through 1,500 test animals that all died as a result of the implants (which the Department of Agriculture investigated, then later gave the company an exemption to continue the experiments). Musk claims the test animals, monkeys, were all terminally ill, which is why they were chosen.

The product is ostensibly designed to help people overcome neurological disorders, including to help paralyzed people one day eventually walk again (by controlling machines with their thoughts that would then move their limbs). The company is looking for humans that are either quadriplegic or are suffering from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

The company’s blog said of the product, “The PRIME Study (short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface) – a groundbreaking investigational medical device trial for our fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) – aims to evaluate the safety of our implant (N1) and surgical robot (R1) and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with paralysis to control external devices with their thoughts.”

This product is designed to help people who have, for a variety of reasons, lost control of their muscles. The product will help them use thoughts to control computers which could control machines that could do anything from communicating with others to moving limbs. The study would last for 6 years.

More from the blog about the study intended to use humans, “During the study, the R1 Robot will be used to surgically place the N1 Implant’s ultra-fine and flexible threads in a region of the brain that controls movement intention. Once in place, the N1 Implant is cosmetically invisible and is intended to record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention. The initial goal of our BCI is to grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.”

The device does connect to an external device, an app, so at the very least it connects to an intranet and could just as easily then be connected to an internet as well. It could also be used to let the user control computers with just a thought, so the mute might one day “speak”, or you might one day be able to play video games by “thinking,” giving you an advantage against the online normie gaming competitors that might be using their hands to play against you (which would be SOOOO 2023, amirite?).

Like our story on the artificial womb, we have a product that in and of itself could be a life-saving game changer for thousands of people, but it could also lead to devices that go far beyond aiding the paralyzed and neurologically damaged people to still be able to function as close to normal as possible, leading to all kinds of ethical and moral issues for society to wrestle over.

This writer is not in favor of the so-called singularity, where man and machine merge, but I am not opposed to using machines to augment human flourishing. Implanting your brain with a device that can be potentially hacked from the outside, however, seems to be loaded with risks this writer might be loathe to take. But if I were paralyzed, the risk might be outweighed by the potential increase in quality of life.

Would you, for instance, take the implant if it meant augmenting your intelligence and your drive so you can function like a driven genius, especially if everyone else around you was doing it? That might not be such an easy question to answer, but it’s one that might be worth asking now before we go too far down this brain implant path.

The dystopian nightmares that could flow from such devices might be great sci-fi movies, but they also might just be nightmares for a world living out the consequences on humanity such devices might create.

Corporatocracy Builds War Chest to Push Global “Woke” Cult

Paul Collier September 20, 2023

Two major announcements happened this week that point to an overall shift among mega-corporations, especially of the international variety, as they announce incentives, well-funded incentives, to align with the U.N’s global “woke” agenda that hides behind innocuous words like equity, diversity, social justice, democracy, and racial justice. One is from Bank of America, who is going all in on “sustainable investments,” and another is from Citizens Financial Group, who plans on committing $50 billion to “ESG Financing.”

Bank of America has announced a $1.5 trillion push towards “sustainable investments.” BOA managing director Karen Fang said “We think we can achieve $1.5 trillion in sustainable investments in 10 years in a responsible and disciplined manner consistent with our responsible growth strategy,”

Citizens Financial Group is looking to commit $50 billion to “sustainable financing” by 2030, hoping to achieve “carbon neutrality” by 2035. They also plan on having bankers lecture to businesses about being more aligned with U.N Climate Change goals, meaning they plan on aggressively shaking down their clients to comply or face financial consequences.

More and more major financial organizations are adopting this model of “sustainable financing,” which is a dog whistle for what this writer calls corporate Woketarianism, a version of the woke virus that ultimately preserves the power of the elites while marketing to the “disenfranchised,” promising Utopia on the other side of the mess that must be made now to purge the land of the old things that stood in the way of human excellence, or words to that effect.

Sustainable financing means punishing the businesses that don’t bend to the ideology, not just when it comes to the climate, but when it comes to all aspects of human being, including race, gender, religion, and politics. It’s not enough for these oil companies to drill responsibly, they must do so with an HR department manned by politically approved woketarian activists who can assure compliance is met from within, like a trade unionist leader assigned by the corporate state (which some might say sounds a lot like fascism, because, well, it is).

China Embraces Taliban, Encourages World to do the Same

Paul Collier September 20, 2023

Ever since Biden’s catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan with no real plan, and no real effort to assure the Taliban didn’t get our military equipment, China has been stepping into the void, offering the Taliban legitimacy and world recognition.

Now, Taliban welcomes China’s new ambassador, calling the decision by China to have an ambassador that recognizes the brutal raping and murdering regime (which is just one of the many things the two fascistic nations have in common with one another) further proof that the rest of the world needs to follow suit, the rest of the world needs to develop normal relations with the theocracy of hate and fear (something they share in common with America’s DNC-CCP).

The Taliban’s chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, told The Associated Press “It also signals to other countries to come forward and interact with the Islamic Emirate. We should establish good relations as a result of good interactions and, with good relations, we can solve all the problems that are in front of us or coming in the future.”

So far, China is the only country willing to recognize the cult-nation, which makes sense given the cult-like nature of its own nation, led, as it is, by the cult of personality wannabe Xi Jinping, a model of hope for the DNC-CCP who dreams one day of having their own cult of personality dictate to us Americans OUR terms of existence in the same way Xi does to his people, in the same way the Taliban does through its cult of personality “leader,” Muhammad (or at least their version of the child-marrying “prophet.”)

New Google Tool Could Empower Censorship-Resistance Networks

Paul Collier September 20, 2023

A Google Team called Jigsaw has created a new software developer kit (SDK) that they allege will enable groups of people to create censorship-free digital networks they can use to communicate with each other even in the face of government oppression.

The tool was created in response to the crackdown on protestors and protest organizations by Iran. The fact that the tool was designed by a team working for a company who pushes the DNC-CCP narrative and oppresses users who too impactfully contradict that narrative is a bit of actual irony, but we liberty-lovers will take it and apply it in ways this team probably would never imagine, or support.

The tool itself, while designed to help a preferred oppressed group of people (Iranians wanting to live their own stewarded lives), can help an oppressed group of people Google has clearly demonstrated is not one of their preferred ones, the American people, those of us that also wish to live self-stewarded lives, not lives defined by and for the party, the DNC-CCP.

Jigsaw tweeted, “In times of crisis, internet connectivity is a lifeline, but authoritarian regimes are sophisticated at blocking access. That’s why VPNs are vital to keep people online when they need it most.”

They offered an explanation of what they’ve actually created, “Our team created this toolkit [Outline SDK] for developers. It empowers them to embed circumvention tech directly into their apps. Outline SDK simplifies the process, allowing apps to continue delivering crucial content even when faced with censorship, all without the need for a VPN.”

It would be much better if toolkits like this were developed by open-source liberty groups as opposed to Google, whose founding mantra, “don’t be evil” was long abandoned even before the creation of the parent corporation, Alphabet, who holds more allegiance with Karl Marx than it does Thomas Jefferson, who embraces evil in the name of ending evil, like all “good” leftists do.
