In times of accelerating change, we cannot influence that change unless we understand the root causes.

And if we are unhappy with the current event stream, we need to review how that event stream is formed from our conscious and/or unconscious input.

If this sounds like too much Eastern mysticism to us, then maybe before we move on we might be wise to consider whether those Eastern mystics had a point...  after all, they may be revealing a control mechanism that we could actually influence! So what do we have to lose?

And BTW this view isn't confined only to Eastern mystics...   

NB: if, like me, you have no idea who Seth may be, it's not vital to our understanding.

What is important is that we recognise that we do live in times of enormous change, so

No. not crop circles this time, something much, much bigger and more ancient...    but still involving AI.

Those without imagination (unless you're an AI) should probably skip this - those with imagination might feel led to reach for a wet towel...

... this has progressed way beyond the capabilities of a couple of blokes with a plank.

So what's behind it all?

And who is it that's actually doing the learning?

Martin Geddes has spent an inordinately large part of his recent life investigating how legal systems degrade, and attributing that degradation to a reaction to stress - when the system is sufficiently stressed, something has to give in order for it to continue to operate.

So far so good.

The problem is that in so failing it may sacrifice aspects of its integrity.

And when integrity is sacrificed, how does the result differ from the same result deliberately engineered (or perhaps merely tolerated) for nefarious reasons?

"In honest hands it [law] constrains power. In dishonest hands it becomes a remarkably effective weapon for acquiring and preserving power while maintaining the outward appearance of legality."

Martin calls it "

Can there be so much smoke without a fire?

The Bernician analyses the smoke signals, and reveals a system of revolving doors very reminiscent of those between Big Pharma and our Health Regulators.

Anybody might think the purpose of government is now primarily to launder our tax money to "private enterprise" - not just any enterprise of course, but certainly to those big American enterprises with CIA connections. Of course it's all subject to appropriate restrictions on confidentiality etc but who is to verify the truth of these activities?

What could possibly go wrong?

Brendon O'Connell isn't one to pull his punches - but he is an Aussie so we must make allowances. And once you get his drift (it takes practice) he makes a good deal of sense.

How he "knows" everything that he comes up with (don't blink or you'll miss it) I've no idea, but it's obvious he's somehow been following a great many threads for a long time.

Is he right about everyone? I don't suppose so, but he does seem to be in a goodly number of correct ball-parks.

Does he realise that people can change (or be changed / swapped out) over time and a substitute (actor or AI based) used for new purposes? I don't know, but I do believe that the number of Nancy Pelosys we have seen over time is probably off the charts (not to mention Donald Trumps and Elon Musks and many others... ). That may make some of his assumptions about the famous and infamous holding consistent positions over time

It's simple.

In a civilisation that inhabits an uncertain world, the supply of power makes the difference between carrying on almost as normal regardless of the salient ambient conditions, or having to keep shutting down because of them. 

And for most practical purposes (especially in a world besotted by a completely irrational fear of "climate change") power means that delivered by wires. So our governments have simultaneously increased the loading on the grid whilst replacing reliable electricity generation with erratic wind and solar...  whilst also adding power-hungry AI data centres to the mix.

What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go right?

"South America is being reshaped by the war that Trump is waging against the City of London"

"Russia warning the EU and the United States to pull their diplomats before launching the missile salvo is, in Krainer's reading, a message to the actual instigator of the war, not to the proxy"

"A country that controls its own money, its own food, and its own resources, that operates for the benefit of its people, is a country that cannot be ruled by London"

"The Crown of England remains under duress. The City is the occupier"

Yes, there's a surreptitious war being waged against the once secret nest of vampires that inhabit their enclave in the heart of London.

But it's obviously just an idiotic conspiracy theory, so pay no

... but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places  -  St Paul's letter to the Ephesians 6:12

Many will be completely unprepared for this article. 

Yes it has support from St Paul, but his letters form just a tiny portion of the Biblical story as taught for generations by the various Churches. Regular readers will know that this site does not consider itself bound within the confines of the teachings of those who used to burn heretics (AKA truth-seekers) at the stake!

There is a reason why we look outside the Good Book for our daily lives...   and that is because "the Good Lord moves in mysterious ways

The world today has been revealed to be very different from the world we thought we lived in pre-Covid. It's also not at all clear in which direction it is headed - clearly some directions are better than others, and different groups are certainly headed in different directions, but overall the end result is almost impossible to determine - the situation is just too complex for the average human to investigate, analyse, and draw appropriate conclusions.

Especially when it comes to the interplay between trump, Netanyahu, the USA, Israel, City of London, and the global oligarchs of the World Economic Forum and Silicon Valley. And I'm sure we can add in the United Nations and global central bankers to the mix somewhere.

Brendon O'Connell introduced his view of this "death by complexity"to those of us who were bold enough to seek to follow his train of thought.

AI is developing at breakneck speed...  will it be a force for good, a force for evil, or a damp squib that would need all the water in all the oceans on earth to meet its insatiable cooling needs?!

Well, that last problem may slow it down a bit, but isn't in reality likely to stop it any time soon, at least not whilst the central bankers have power over the money supply and who gets it.

The future for AI in fact looks increasingly assured as governments of all stripes increase the complexity of the legal systems, information systems, health systems, and official systems of all kinds so that mere mortals no longer have sufficient lifespan to devote themselves to living within all the ever-multiplying rules and regulations whilst simultaneously trying to earn a living and bring up the next generation(s). AI is increasingly being seen as the answer to understanding what we can and cannot do.

But AI can also become the ultimate censorship regime, policing

Brendon O'Connell is Hard Going. Period.

He's not for everyone. In fact, he's only for the intrepid (which is why I've taken so long to seriously listen to him - I'm very much at the lower end of "intrepid"!). 

And I'm only just beginning to decipher his erratic rhetorical mood swings...

And if you want a polite presentation, look elsewhere. Now!

And (fair warning) he makes liberal use of fake AI generated material.

Oh, and you may need to read much of the rest of this site first so as to establish some backdrop to our current situation, else you miss the appropriate connections...

But Pax Silica does seem to be important, so if you're feeling alert, brave, and ready for anything,

"A republic - if you can keep it"- Benjamin Franklin

But what if the Second Amendment in itself is an inadequate guarantee?

What happens when the whole panoplia of senates congresses assemblies councils courts and governing bodies each complete with their own governmental rules regulations statute books guidance documents etc etc gets so out of hand that Joe Citizen has no hope of figuring out precisely how and why control of his Republic has somehow in reality been usurped by inappropriate forces?

If we for a moment make the working assumption that the current world Humpty Dumpty (the UN the WEF and all its unaccountable hangers on) is doomed to spiritual and actual collapse, then we must look forward to a new phase of earth habitation that is not dominated by private unaccountable interests.

This is so far removed from the structures under which we have grown up into adults that the form that such a world might take isn't intuitively obvious. Take away the bosses and what would we have?

We would have a workforce that still knows how to do what it has always done - create and sell product. What we wouldn't have is the super-rich oligarchs who invest in projects that may or may not align

One cannot help but notice how the war with Iran may be used to advance Klaus Schwab's vision of the future - as controlled by the oligarchical elites of the WEF and their super-intelligent experts (human or AI-combohuman or all AI?).

Fertiliser shortages > food shortages > rationing
Fuel shortages > transport / electricity / water / petrol&diesel shortages > rationing
Government AI > bureaucracy by computer says no > arbitrary restrictions > curtailment/elimination of freedoms

The underlying AI systems will be impenetrable at point of refusal and challengeable in theory only, so whether they will function "as advertised" will be irrelevant for practical purposes.

It will be the extreme case of Martin Geddes' analysis- that politics is the reduction of complexity to the limits of a finite adjudication

We had an instance back in 2019/2020 where a cruise ship had a number sick passengers (and if memory serves a few deaths) from the "Coronavirus".

Not sure how the virus made it from Wuhan to the cruise ship but then if the medical world is to be believed these pesky viruses (or should that more properly be virii?) get everywhere in no time flat.

Now in 2026 we have a reported instance of a rat virus on a cruise ship which one may suppose similarly threatens the world, rather in the same way as the earlier SARS scares, Monkeypox and whatever else never took off in the public imagination. 

Is it too early for a vaccine?

Mark Playne has been crunching the AI to reveal what the ghost in the machines makes of it all.

Does it reveal a cosmic truth?
