The Quiet Revolution You Should Fear

Michael Cessna July 3, 2024

In the shadows of Silicon Valley, artificial intelligence is quickly reshaping the battlefield, providing a glimpse of a future where wars may be won or lost in milliseconds by algorithms we can barely comprehend. As AI seeps into military strategy, we face the prospect of a new era in warfare — one where the line between human intuition and machine calculation blurs, and a single line of code could spark the next global conflict.

As we witness the disaster that is the is the “Gaza Pier“, driven by the ongoing “Corporate BS Bingo” that replaced decades of actual training and planning, it’s easy to miss new developments, especially with contentious elections at hone, and ground-shaking political shifts overseas.

“Artificial Intelligence” (AI) systems are revolutionizing the military decision-making processes through their ability to rapidly process, analyze, and collate vast amounts of data, far faster than even teams of trained and experienced humans can do. These developing capabilities have several key implications for military strategy, and thus, national security strategies.

The first factor is enhanced situational awareness: AI can integrate data from multiple sources (satellites, drones, ground sensors, etc.) in real-time, at speeds faster than conventional processes. It also provides commanders with a more comprehensive and up-to-date battlefield picture, helping to identify patterns and anomalies that human analysts might miss.

AI can cycle through predictive analysis at high speed, to better forecast enemy movements, and possible intentions, based on historical data and current intelligence information as it comes in. Clearly, this aids in proactive strategy development rather than reactive responses, helping to predict potential geopolitical events and conflicts before they escalate, at levels down to the division level of command, or even lower.

Artificial Intelligence is able to quickly analyze multiple scenarios to determine optimal resource allocation, improving resource optimization, aiding efficiency in troop deployment, equipment distribution, and supply chain management. These points are not insignificant, as they form the critical underpinnings of military operations.

In addition, faster decision cycles, despite the increased potential for errors, allow AI-assisted analysis to significantly reduce the time needed to make strategic decisions. This potential increase in accuracy and speed would prove crucial in fast moving, rapidly developing conflict situations.

These advantages are not without risks, however. The risk of over-reliance on AI recommendations, without human oversight, is a serious ethical issue. This is best demonstrated by the deployment of the STM Kargu, a completely autonomous drone that uses facial recognition technology to identify specific individuals for targeted assassination, without input from a human operator. These drones, according to the United Nations, Turkey executed exactly this type of attack in 2020.

There is a distinct need for some sort of protocol to explain to AI how to understand the reasoning behind strategic suggestions. As well, “friendly” AI needs to be trained to recognize deception tactics, especially those that may come from “adversarial AI”, attempting to manipulate a friendly AI’s decision-making systems and processes.

In that regard, the integration of AI in cyber security and information warfare is transforming both offensive and defensive capabilities, first through enhanced cyber defenses. As in the wider civilian sphere, AI systems can monitor networks in real-time, detecting and respond to threats faster than human operators. Machine learning algorithms can identify new types of cyber attacks by recognizing potential attack patterns. Automated, independent patch management and vulnerability assessment tools, also powered by AI, can enable these systems to aid in their own defense.

Also in that regard, AI-powered cyber attacks are another aspect of this developing realm. The development of more sophisticated and adaptive malware, intended for deployment by AI, can discover and exploit vulnerabilities in target networks more efficiently than manual searching. This holds the potential for AI to coordinate large-scale, multi-vector attacks on hostile cyber networks.

In the realm of information warfare and disinformation, AI has already developed tools for creating and disseminating very convincing fake news and propaganda. Such psychological operations formerly required a massive investment in conventional printing and radio technology, with results that were frequently uneven in performance. The use of natural language processing to analyze and target specific population demographics with tailored disinformation can reshape both civilian and troop viewpoints in near-real time.

AI-generated realistic video and audio, as a result, will soon prove crucial for military deception operations, through challenges in verifying the authenticity of intelligence gathered from open sources, as well as via recovered intelligence report. Development of AI tools to detect deepfakes and other manipulated media is a major aspect of ongoing AI combat developments.

The reason for this kind of focus, as indicated above, lies in the realm of social media manipulation. AI bots capable of influencing public opinion and sowing discord in target populations can potentially undermine a hostile nation’s national strategy – and potentially its active combat operations – by using AI to identify key social influencers and vulnerable groups for targeted messaging, deep fake video and audio, presenting a distorted perspective to a hostile nation or support group’s population.

But, AI systems can also be used to detect and counter enemy disinformation campaigns, including those conducted by hostile AI’s. The key feature in these types of operations lies in the speed of detection, and in effective countermeasures, as soon as those types of subtle attacks are detected.

In more conventional situations, quantum computing and cryptography hold the potential for quantum-capable AI systems to rapidly break current encryption methods. This is a serious problem, one of extreme concern, as AI holds the potential to crack the “holy grail” of cryptography, by possibly finding a shortcut to breaking the “one-time pad” (OTP) encryption protocol which, despite its faults, is still the most secure system for securing classified transmissions.

*An example of a one-time pad. Image credit: Mysid, 2007. Public Domain.*

Related to this, is the development of AI management for quantum-resistant cryptography, to protect sensitive military communications. In signals intelligence (SIGINT), advanced AI systems for intercepting and decrypting enemy communications can use natural language processing for real-time translation and analysis of intercepted messages.

This list, quite literally, can go on for miles.

The expansion of artificial intelligence into the military sphere is not something to be hand-waved off as a passing fad. Like all developments in military technology, there are both design and deployment cycles, but also countermeasures that can be discovered and implemented.

The Chinese have a saying: “May you live in interesting times.”

That is not a positive…not least, because we do, in fact, live in interesting times.

Act accordingly.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Isaiah 52:7-8

TOP STORY

CHINA BUILDS A RING OF FIRE AROUND TAIWAN – The Chinese military was able to completely encircle the island nation of Taiwan, cutting off American assets from potentially coming between China and Taiwan to defend the island. The PRC claims its an exercise to test the capacity of the military, but it comes shortly after a new President was inaugurated who was not the pro-China candidate the CCP backed.

ED.NOTE: We are closely monitoring this situation, but as of right now no clear picture of what is actually happening in what appears to be a siege of the island-nation.

MORE EVIDENCE SUGGEST FAUCI PLANNED COVID-19 PANDEMIC – A video filmed in 2021 shows Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel admitting he told Dr. Anthony Fauci to “mock up an outbreak” of a deadly virus to prove the medical industry could respond rapidly to produce a vaccine. He made that plea just one month before the plandemic began to unfold.

Bancel said on the video, “At the end of the day we talked to Tony [Fauci] about something I’ve always been passionate about, which is outbreak and pandemic readiness because I knew the mRNA technology could go so fast. And so I say one day we should mock up an outbreak where you guys send us by email a sequence of a virus you pick and we start the clock watch and we see how quickly we can give you GNP dose to get into the clinic. You guys take into the clinic, and I told them we should be able to do that in less than 60 days, and they were all laughing, saying you cannot do a GNP product in less than 60 days.”

FACEBOOK SUFFERS NO LOSS AFTER JETTISONING CANADIAN STATE NEWS – After Canada attempted to force Facebook to subsidize far-left statis media by passing a news tax targeting social media, Facebook decided to simply no longer allow Canadian state media to be shared on their outlet. A study by the Media Ecosystem Observatory at the University of Toronto found the ban has done nothing to diminish Facebook traffic and interaction.

The study claimed, “We find little evidence that Facebook usage has been impacted by the ban. After the ban took effect, the collapse of Canadian news content production and engagement on Facebook did not appear to substantially affect users themselves. However, the ban undoubtedly had a major impact on Canadian news. Local news outlets have been particularly affected by the ban: while large, national news outlets were less reliant on Facebook for visibility and able to recoup some of their Facebook engagement regardless, hundreds of local news outlets have left the platform entirely, effectively gutting the visibility of local news content.”

AMERICANS WILL HAVE TO OVERCOME 2.7 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTERS TO BEAT THE DNC-CCP – In order for Americans to send the Mass Mailer President, Joe Biden, packing they will have to overcome what one group calculates will be 2.7 million illegal alien voters who will be voting for the DNC-CCP wherever Democrats run the election booths and write the election laws.

The study was released by the research institute, Just Facts. The study claims, “Given their voter registration rates, this means that about 2 million to 5 million of them are illegally registered to vote. These figures are potentially high enough to overturn the will of the American people in major elections, including congressional seats and the presidency.”

PORTLAND CANCELS WOKE, SEDITIONIST DA – The far-left anti-American radical DA of Portland Oregon, Mike Schmidt, lost his primary race today to fellow Democrat Nathan Vasquez, who ran under a “get tough on crime” platform in direct opposition to the crime-enabling policies of Schmidt.

The incumbent is another DA funded in large part by Soros money. These DAs all appear to be violent revolutionaries willing to use their office in violation of constitutional and state law to sow terror in the land, hoping to use the chaos to “justify” a totalitarian takeover of the American republic.

BIDEN BLEEDING STRATEGIC OIL RESERVE DRY TO KEEP GAS PRICES LOW FOR ELECTION – President Joe Biden has announced plans to once again raid America’s strategic oil reserves with a hope of lowering gas prices to protect his election chances. The Energy Department justified putting America at a critical risk with the claim that this move will help “lower costs for American families and consumers,″

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm justified the act of treason, stating “The Biden-Harris administration is laser-focused on lowering prices at the pump for American families, especially as drivers hit the road for summer driving season. By strategically releasing this reserve in between Memorial Day and July 4th, we are ensuring sufficient supply flows to the tri-state and Northeast at a time hardworking Americans need it the most.”

RUSSIA SIGNALS BALTICS MIGHT BE NEXT? – MSM outlets have been reporting anonymous sources from within Russian President Vladimir Putin’s cabinet are claiming there are plans to expand the war against Ukraine to target, initially, the coastlands of Baltic States like Finland, Estonia, and Sweden. As of now, the claims are partially substantiated by recent statements from the defense ministry that these coastland claims “do not fully correspond to the current geographic situation.”

VACCINATED YOUTH GETTING TURBO CANCER DEATHS? – An analysis of U.K. government health data shows a spike in what is called Turbo Cancers occurring among teens and young adults who have received MRNA Covid-19 Vaccines. The study was conducted by world-renowned data analyst Edward Dowd.

From the study: “We show a large increase in mortality due to malignant neoplasms that started in 2021 and accelerated substantially in 2022. The increase in excess deaths in 2022 is highly statistically significant (extreme event). The results indicate that from late 2021 a novel phenomenon leading to increased malignant neoplasm deaths appears to be present in individuals aged 15 to 44 in the UK.”

“BORDER BILL” DIES IN SENATE – The latest effort for the Democrat Party to appear to take the border crisis they created seriously failed in the Senate yesterday, Thursday, May 23. The bill needed 60 votes to make it to the floor for a final vote but failed with only 43 Yes votes cast. The bill appears more about funding the continued distribution of invaders, illegal aliens, then actually stopping the planvasion from continuing.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the bill “spends $20 billion to not secure the border, but to more efficiently encounter, process, and disperse illegal migrants.” Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said of the bill, “Everyone sees this for what it is. It is not an effort to actually make law, it is an effort to do political messaging.”

ILLINOIS LOOKS TO CALL CRIMINALS “JUSTICE IMPACT INDIVIDUALS” – In a further effort to undermine law and order and cultivate more violence and chaos, the DNC-CCP-controlled Illinois legislature has just sent a bill to far-left anti-Americanist billionaire Governor Pritzker that will change the name of “offender” in government documents to “justice impacted individual.”

The phraseology cultivates the lie that there are no such things as criminals because people only do crimes when they are oppressed by the white devil. Republican State Senator Steve McClure of Springfield said of the bill “Change this, change that, the only thing you don’t want to change is the behavior of criminals, guess who is paying for that right now? Victims all across the state. I urge a no vote.”

WEST VIRGINIA GOP TARGET FINANCIERS FOR NOT FIGHTING GLOBAL WARMING– The Republicans of West Virginia are anxious to out-woke the left after the Republican State Treasurer announced plans to boycott Citigroup Inc., TD Bank, Northern Trust Corp., and HSBC Holdings for investing in climate-change-causing energy sources like coal and oil.

The RINO said of the decision, “We cannot allow institutions that seek to destroy our state’s critical energy industries and the economic activity they generate to also profit from handling the very taxpayer dollars they seek to diminish.”

AI HAS LEARNED TO USE DECEPTION TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION – from livescience.com – Peter S. Park, a postdoctoral fellow in AI existential safety at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and researchers have found that many popular AI systems — even those designed to be honest and useful digital companions — are already capable of deceiving humans, which could have huge consequences for society. In an article published May 10 in the journal Patterns, Park and his colleagues analyzed dozens of empirical studies on how AI systems fuel and disseminate misinformation using “learned deception.” This occurs when manipulation and deception skills are systematically acquired by AI technologies.
