TOP STORIES
HAS SCIENCE FOUND THE IMAGE OF GOD? – In the 1990s, Nobel-Prize winning physicist Dr. Roger Penrose, along with anesthesiologist, Dr. Stuart Hameroff, developed a theory about the “physical” state of consciousness called “Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory (Orch OR).” The theory was that consciousness exists as a quantum process thanks to microtubes, the lattice structures of brain nerve cells.
The theory was “debunked” by the belief that quantum states can only be sustained by cold conditions, but a new experiment by oncology professor Dr. Jack Tuszynski suggests the brain is neither “too hot or too wet” to sustain the quantum state needed for consciousness to exist through the microtubes.
AI IS TRACKING YOUR CHILD’S ONLINE ACTIVITY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO MONITOR – Democratic Senators have sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona expressing concern about the increasing use of AI to monitor students’ online activity by public schools. The Democrats seem to be focused mostly on how it affects their preferred elite class of humans, the LGBTQ and non-whites, but the concerns they bring up should be troubling to any and all Americans whether or not, for now, it disproportionately affects the preferred classes of humans the Democrats most exploit to justify their own acts of oppression in the name meeting the plea of their particular needy.

HUMAN-TRAINED AI EMOTION-DRIVEN MARKETERS ARE COMING YOUR WAY. IS YOUR MIND AT RISK? – Actors not in the top tier of acting are finding life difficult economically as the SAF-AFTRA strike continues into its 5th month. Some have found work with Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, “training” AI through acting. While the actors have signed contracts that state their likenesses cannot be used for future endeavors, the language is written in such a way that perhaps, maybe, Meta has plenty of legal loopholes to betray that simple promise.
The actors were paid to participate in a study called the “emotion study,” which ran from Jul through September of this year. The study offered actors $150 per hour to “emote” for AI machines to analyze in the hope that AI can then be used to artificially “emote” in seamless ways to humans, and this become better propagandists, or marketers, at a fraction of the cost of human propagandists, or marketers.

JORDAN PAUSES, UN-PAUSES CAMPAIGN TO BE NEXT SPEAKER – After the second vote failed to elect a House Speaker, Jim Jordan (R-OH) signaled he would defer his challenge until January and support granting the Speaker Pro Tempore McHenry to introduce legislation on the House floor. Later, he changed his mind, having found there might not even be enough support for the GOP to vote to approve such expansion of powers. Now, the status of when the third vote might take place is uncertain, as is the speakership.
DOES ISRAEL HAVE U.S. APPROVAL TO INVADE GAZA? – Conflicting messages have emerged after the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee known as Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If you talk to the Israelis, they seem to believe they have a “green light” by the U.S. to invade Gaza. But the President spoke of working to find alternatives to a full-scale Gaza invasion to end the conflict.

TRENDING (M-F)
FAR-LEFT GROUPS ALLOWED TO USE CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO “RALLY” SUPPORT FOR CULT OF DEATH ORG HAMAS – While a young San Fransisco Palestinian girl claims to be one organizer of many leading nationwide demonstrations by school-age kids in government schools in support of the murderous death cult Hamas, evidence shows the movements are being organized by anti-American, antisemitic far-left organizations welcomed in to our public schools by teachers and administrators who hate the republic, jews, and liberty in general.
UN WANTS YOU TO PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN “REPARATIONS” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be gaining support among DNC-CCP resistance, but that might change when they discover he supports a UN-backed scheme of reparations that investigations reveal would cost every “guilty-by-biology” American hundreds of thousands of dollars and only result in creating more animosity between the races in our country.

WORLD (M-F)
VENEZUELA RELEASES OPPOSITION PRISONERS IN EXCHANGE FOR U.S. LIFTING SANCTIONS – The U.S. just made a deal with Venezuela that eases most of the sanctions placed on the Marxist nation (a natural ally to this current administration). In exchange, Maduro has released some opposition candidates from prison and pinky swears he will allow open and transparent elections.
The Democrats might want to advise him to use mass mailer elections as the illusion of openness and transparency can be sustained when you control the means of social and cultural production even if the spirit of transparency and openness in elections cannot. It should also be noted that Venezuela is a Hamas-Iran ally, so that should help the Israelis (that was sarcasm, if you couldn’t tell).
NIGER’S PRESIDENT ATTEMPTS ESCAPE, IS CAPTURED – The Niger Junta is reporting an escape attempt from jailed President Bazoum that was foiled. The attempt happened late Thursday, October 19, 2023. The Junta claims he attempted to reach a getaway vehicle, along with his family, two cooks, and security personnel, which was to take him to the outskirts of the capitol, Niamey, where “two helicopters belonging to a foreign power” would take them to Nigeria.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
LETITIA JAMES GOES ON FISHING EXPEDITION OF TRUMP’S EMAILS – DNC-CCP lawfare assassin and Soros-funded NY Attorney General Letitia James has found the flimsiest of excuses to request access to Donald J Trump’s emails in an effort to find more dirt on the opposition to her DNC-CCP masters. Her excuse is convoluted, but, in simple terms, she claims a witness, Allen Weisselberg, lied to the court and they need to figure out how he lied to hold him in contempt and expose the lie. In actuality, she’s just looking to get more evidence to jail Trump as her case is dubious at best.
DNC-CCP HAS A $27 BILLION WAR CHEST, AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT – Republican leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are sounding the alarm on $27 billion slush fund ostensibly for “Green Energy” that appears to be nothing more than a way for the DNC-CCP’s Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, also known as Joe Biden, to use your tax dollars to fund their DNC-CCP-supporting special interest groups, organizations, and businesses in their effort to destroy the American republic and replace it with a progmerican Democracy (which is no America at all).
The fund also appears to help their CCP ally, China, garnering millions of dollars’ worth of contracts by supplying “America” with solar panels.

EDITOR’S CHOICE (T-F)
NO, LEFTISTS, IT’S NOT RED STATES, IT’S BLUE COUNTIES WHERE MURDER REIGNS – The Heritage Foundation is exposing DNC-CCP talking points off a manipulated study that alleges “red states” have higher murder rates than blue states, but the statistics that really matter are county-wide, and those statistics show the blue counties, those controlled by the anti-Americanists, dwarf the red counties (those controlled by Americans) by significant margins.
ESG IS A SYNDICALISM FOR THE DNC-CCP, AND YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT – ESG schemes are being used by giant mutual fund managers as de facto syndicates, or trade unions, or fascist-styled corporations, to force businesses to submit to the anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-human ideology the dark art of ESG represents, and they’re using red state pensions to fund it.

SCI-TECH (T-F)
COMPANY CLAIMS TO HAVE MADE CHIP MANUFACTURING ACCESSIBLE TO ALL – Zero ASIC is claiming their zero-code, “LEGO-like” ASIC Design Platform will significantly reduce the cost of designing and manufacturing computer chips, “democratizing” them, or, making the manufacturing of high-end computer chips accessible to small-scale associations who would now, theoretically, be able to compete against multi-billion-dollar institutions at a fraction of the current cost.
THIS METAL 3D PRINTER CAN MAKE SPARE PARTS FOR RACING CARS – An Abu Dhabi company is claiming to have made a metal 3D printer that is capable of printing race engine spare parts that can withstand the high-intense demands of high-speed racing, including pistons. The breakthrough would launch metal 3D printing into the commercial space not available to it now as 3D-printed metal parts don’t quite stand up to the stresses that machine-manufactured parts do. This writer also believes the revolution could also usher in 3D gun printers that could produce guns as reliable as those being traditionally produced today.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
