AI - New Kid on the Block?

Is the world about to be overruled by AI?

Should we be worried?

Will we all go the way of the WEF's Yuval Noah Harari and become hacked to the point that we function as nodes on the huminternet, mindlessly obeying Grand Central AI's instructions?

Or is AI something to be stamped out as inimical to our future as Free Spirits?

Our chances of uninventing AI are looking vanishingly smaller by the hour, so maybe we need to find a third way (just not the Blairite "third way" - that didn't work either).

So where to look? As ever, I suggest in what some may consider the most unlikely place, but a place nonetheless which time and again seems to come up trumps - a financial newsletter.

Time to revisit Investor's Daily. This is not to push any specific product, but it is to point up a very specific aspect of freedom that we omit to cultivate at our peril.

It is the gateway through which we must pass before we can be truly free. Mark it well.

The Makin Review

Details: Category: Child Abuse; Published: 07 August 2025; Hits: 2705

2025-08-07

For those who (like myself) have lived in blissful ignorance of this review, it was set up in October 2019 ...

"These instructions set out the basis on which the National Safeguarding Team of the Church of England commissions Keith Makin (“the Reviewer”) to undertake a review into the Church of England’s handling of allegations relating to the conduct of the late John Smyth QC."

"1. Objective of the Review

1.1 This review (“the Review”) will allow those individuals who have indicated that they have sustained harm at the hands of John Smyth and given an account to the Church of England to describe their experiences.

1.2 The Review will consider the actions of Church of England participants and will identify both good practice and failings in the Church’s handling of the allegations relating to John Smyth, including their safeguarding practice, in order that they can take steps to enhance and improve their response to allegations of abuse and, thereby, ensure the Church provides a safer environment for all"

"The Reviewer will not be able to make formal findings of fact but is asked to give a view, informed by his professional judgment, as to what version of events seems most likely, on the balance of probabilities"

So far, so circumspect, but this from the Key Findings, as published in the Makin Review in October 2024:

"John Smyth was an appalling abuser of children and young men. His abuse was prolific, brutal and horrific. His victims were subjected to traumatic physical, sexual, psychological and spiritual attacks. The impact of that abuse is impossible to overstate and has permanently marked the lives of his victims. John Smyth’s own family are victims of his abuse."

* Those unprepared for such matters should consider whether they wish to continue reading *

Keith Makin is described as an "independent reviewer".

According to 4 News Keith is a "former social services director".

According to Surviving Church: "He was chosen by the NST for his 30 years of management in the social care field. He has already led on a number of serious case reviews. He is clearly a professional in this line of expertise but there is no indication of any background in the church".

According to the Independent: "Makin is a former director of Social Services, was the chief executive of an independent childcare company, and has much experience in abuse inquiries"

And finally, from the CurchofEngland.org August 2019:

"Keith Makin is an executive in the social care and health sector, with over 30 years experience as a manager. He has held the posts of Director of Social Services, Chief Executive of an independent childcare agency, Executive Director of a Government Improvement Agency and now runs a consultancy in social care and health. Keith is also active in the voluntary sector, having been a Board member and Director of several organisations, including two social enterprises.

Keith is a qualified social worker. He has a degree in Economics, with postgraduate qualifications in Social Administration and Management.

Keith has chaired several local safeguarding partnerships and has led on several high profile reviews and inquiries into safeguarding concerns"

(NB: The fact that Keith Makin and I share the same surname may or may not imply a familial relationship - I don't know him and I haven't investigated the matter since I became aware of him this morning!)

The Spectrum of Evil Criminality

Details: Category: Free Citizen; Published: 06 August 2025; Hits: 640

2025-08-06

If the family is the bedrock of civilisation, then it's no surprise that Evil seeks to destroy the family.

Destruction of the institution of The Family is central to Evil's task of destroying civilisation itself.

That we can plainly see unmistakable evidence of an international conspiracy to undermine the Family is testament that this Evil has form personality and intent, and is not merely a happenstance absence of right thinking.

Whilst good folk retain respect for the family unit as the model best suited to bring up the next generation, or even whilst we still cherish the memory of what the family means for growing up within a loving and civilised society, Evil cannot rest until The Family has been both erased and forgotten, replaced by the dystopian nightmare of a loveless automated sequence of reproduction, indoctrination, and servitude to the elite.

Evil's co-option of the Family to be faked and institutionalised as Head of State (ie: "Royalty") may be regarded as a master-stroke, lending the false image of a loving family to the State whilst it sets about the methodical destruction of real families within the population. Not for nothing are Family Court hearings not public hearings.

Is there an antidote to this fakery and destruction?

Martin Geddes updates us on his planned take-down of the inJustice system of the UK, starting in the High Court.

It's a monumental effort that sets a number of new record firsts, but I cannot think of anybody more suited to the task.

"The system" cannot permit him to win, so expect everything to be dragged out until the revolution takes place, or "the system" collapses.

Meanwhile, he does it for all of us, so ...

Support the cause!
