More from Neil Oliver and Maajid Nawaz, this time reflecting on the UK home front.

This includes some party political points that Free Citizen UK neither supports nor repudiates - this isn't about who will win the next election (or even if such will be held), it is about the overall state of our country and its institutions.

Maajid Nawaz shows an impressive grasp of Middle East geopolitics, carrying on here from where Scott Ritter and company left off.

I feel that more water yet must pass beneath the bridge before we will see a believable solution to the Gaza situation. After all, Israel is not exactly victorious, nor any longer an attractive destination for immigration to rebuild its shattered economy.

The unspoken question is surely: "Whither Israel?". We need to answer this before we can be confident about the future of Gaza, and its remaining inhabitants.

Why should the Devil have all the best tunes?

Equally, why should the Devil have all the best AI?

We are now accustomed to the notion that "the AI" will be intent to replace humanity (and ultimately control the remaining humans through the IoT - the Internet of Transhumans: Homo Transfectus). Indeed some speculate that "the AI" will naturally evolve to require to eliminate humanity so that it itself may survive. Happily that discussion is out of scope of this article 😎.

But indeed, there is AI and there is AI.

So we can probably agree that we should harness the power of AI to work in our favour, and that we should design new AIs to naturally embody that requirement. And here we are probably not talking about specialist AIs that are designed to fulfil a specific technical requirement (for example, to analyse speech and/or ancient texts to tease out the original meanings in the modern language vernacular). We are talking about the general purpose AI that can do things like control a robotic battlefield, and manage the world's geopolitics and military-industrial complexes to triumph in the incoming inter-galactic wars ...

Are we there yet? Hmmmm.

If we are, then we could have a big problem on our hands. And we are now pretty sure that vast sums of money have been (almost certainly illegally) diverted into Pandora's Box, AKA the DARPA-Military-Industrial-Complex black projects that obviously "don't exist".

Still, for such an AI to directly control the realms of battlefields and geopolitics, we would need IoT connectivity to both robotic armaments and robotic politicians (ie: homo transfectus - possibly already patented by such as Pfizer - yes, some may believe we have these already!). 

But I digress. Further speculation in this vein I will leave as an exercise for you, dear reader.

So to return to today's topic, Martin Geddes is of the view that we can already use the AI currently available to good effect for humanity's more humble purposes. 

Here is his exploration of this concept, in analysis of the nuances implicit in the "Great Awakening".

Enjoy, whilst you still can ...

The talking heads discuss the latest controversial plan that came out of the recent Trump-Netanyahu meeting.

"You've got to look for rational explanations ... "

Still, if the rational explanation eludes us ... 

I think Scott Ritter is beginning to catch on!

Watch this space ...

Also a section on Ukraine from 71 minutes ...

"Russia will dictate."

Well, independence is not very likely when it receives copious funds from a government agency.

As we are finding out slowly, the US may not be a model of probity that other governments should emulate.

USAID seems to have been something of slush fund for ... let's just say dubious causes, as has been propelled unceremoniously into the public gaze by Elon Musk.

Another recipient of similarly government-funded largesse is thought to be a major "independent" political journal.

When the "free press" is funded by the vested interests, even if indirectly, it isn't free any more.

Think it couldn't happen here in the UK?
