Biotech Startup To Offer Gene Ediing Of Unborn Babies In Terrifying New Silicon Valley Lunacy

 

 

ChatGPT, Sam Altman, has become the latest recuite if the Silicon Vallley billionaire psychopaths association by joining a group of tech billionaires contributing to the $30million funding of a biotechnology business called Preventive which aims to ‘correct devastating genetic conditions for future children’. In othger words this is Genetic Engineering of human beings, the kind of warped science that caused the Nazis to have wet dreams about creating a master race.

The US startup claims it will be able to edit the DNA of babies before they are born, a process known as human germline genetic engineering, which is banned in 70 countries including most of the large economy - highy developed nations. Preventive is seeking a country which will give it permission to carry out its experiments. No doubt the New Zealand Gene Technology Bill, currently awaiting its Second Reading, which will liberalise decisions about gene technology experiments and place them in the hands of a single regulator, will have brought NZ to the attention of Preventive.

If such research projects were given the green light here, it would not be the first time that NZ has plyed host to highly controversial scientific research projects.  And we must not forget thr crimes against humanity committed by New Zealands bordretline insane socialt government during the COVID hoax pandemic. And we all know the outcome of the 100 per cent safe and effective claims made for gene editing vaccines forced on New Zealanders in the COVID era.

For the last two decades NZ scientists have carried out genetic experiments on animals with disastrous results. Reports of adverse outcomes of GE germline experiments on animals at AgResearch’s Ruakura facility document spontaneous abortions, cancers, deformities and sterility, requiring animals to be euthanised. Currently there are no surviving GE animals at Ruakura. The experiments have been terminated after repeated failures. Similar research in other nations has also been terminated after similarly catastrophic results. You can understand why such experiments on humans have been banned so far: the prospect of euthanising ‘human mistakes’ echoes the worst extremes of Nazi medical experimentation.

The alliance of tech billionaires pushing to allow risky experiments on humans is just one example of the huge pressure building to allow the wholesale editing of human DNA, and given the track records of Silicon Valley billionaire psychopaths its easy to see that while the stated amiton of correcting genetic defects may sound laudible. the creation of a master race or a race of indestructible, totally obedient humandroid warriors would not be far behind. For yeaars billionaire psychopaths have been using their money to buy influence on the GM debate. It is beyond doubt that they have an agenda relating to gathering more power to themselves. It is not hard to imagine what might be included in that agenda.

Why does anyone imagine the three largest countries in the world, India, China and the US, are graduating more than half a million students each year in the biological sciences, all of whom have been trained to edit DNA and sold on the naive idea that they will be improving the health, happiness and intelligence of the human race. Gene editing is about power and supremacy.

The rapid spread of the likely engineered covid virus around the world, the vaccination of 5.5billion people with experimental covid gene shots and the 30million excess deaths which resulted, provides a salutary example of what will happen to the world when the biotechnology regulatory dam finally breaks

Physical health is not all that is being risked: no one understands how physiology supports the expression of consciousness. If you think the risk that GE poses to mental health can be safely ignored or put on the back burner, consider it in the context of the strange case of Sonny Graham. In 1995 he received the heart and therefore about 6billion cells containing the DNA of a 33-year-old donor who had shot himself. 

Subsequently, Graham’s family friends noticed subtle changes in his personality, he developed a taste for beer and hot dogs, his donor’s favourite foods. Although happily married for almost 40 years with two children, he became restless and decided to meet his donor’s widow Cheryl, with whom he began a relationship. Graham admitted he fell madly and irresistibly in love with her the first time they met. Graham divorced his wife and married Cheryl in 2004. In 2008, 13 years after receiving his new heart, Graham committed suicide, shooting himself in circumstances remarkably similar to those of his donor.

Graham’s transplant journey was certainly extreme but the extensive influence a donor’s organ can exert on the recipient is not unusual. Fuly documented and peer reviewed scientific research on this phenomeno can be read under the title Can biotechnology control human behaviour? 

(You can find more extensive information about memory and transplants here.) Along with DNA, RNA, multiple distinct organelles contained in the cytoplasm and 42million proteins of 10,000 different types, there is evidence that cells contain memories capable of shaping personality and controlling behaviour in ways that are not understood. Editing DNA and/or RNA can certainly mediate mental states. Crucially, as has been reported previously, effects can include a loss of self or the development of mental illness. 

This close connection between our mind and body is not speculative: it is a well-established phenomenon. Its source is buried deep in our genetic makeup. Yet the Gene Technology Bill is proposing to deregulate many facets and types of genetic editing without understanding the scope of the interaction with our capacity for higher human thought and emotion. It is long past time for a public discussion of the limits of what is actually known about DNA and the risks to human life that are being recklessly hazarded.

The Existential Threat Of AI Is Overhyped - Artificial Intelligence Is Incredibly Stupid

 

All the talk at the moment seems to be about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Will it destroy the global economy, will it put billions of people out of work because it can do their jobs faster, more efficiently and less expensively, will it enable total surveillance and micromanagement of all human activity thus empowering generations of tyrants, will it surpass our intelligence, is it an existential threat which will eventually turn on its creators and destroy us? 

True, there are thousands of fun things you can do with AI. It can fake your voice accurately and animate a photo of you, them send video messages that appear to be from you to complete starangers and make you look an utter twat, compose pleasant but boring, soulless music and paint pretty but similarly soulless pictures. It can edit videos with nice results for TikTok. It can write an instant, technically perfect (but soulless) poem or lyric of anything. It can instantly bang out an article on any topic. In every case, the results are delightful and very impressive.

And yet in every case, the results are obviously generated by a machine. Once you learn to recognize the telltale signs, it is unmistakable. And then the whole experience becomes boring and unimpressive.

People ask me if I as a writer felt threatened by this machine learning and instant prose generator. The answer is a simple but emphatic NO!. Good writing, well constructed stories and articles and good ideas comes from a spark that only the human mind can generate. No matter how sophisticated AI gets, it can never reproduce this. In fact, I find it amusing how bad this software really is. In simple terms, the people who wrote the AI software really have no idea what intelligence is or how it works (nobody really understands this,) and so can only work with the data string matching techniques programs have used since I loaded my first effort from punched paper tape to an English Electric LEO III mainframe in 1968.

The search Engine I use, Duck Duck Go has recently introduced an AI search assistant. Yesterday I wanted to buy a stand mounted food mixer with dough hooks and search assistent helpfully displayed in a text window an accurate description of what a food mixer with dough hooks is and does. Very nice, its a pity the thought never occurred to the A I engine that if I didn't know what a food mixer with dough hooks is and does I would not have been able to ask that specific question.

The AI generated information Search Assistant generated was in a way quite revealing however:  "A stand mixer is ideal for making dough as it provides consistent kneading with less effort. The Ankarsrum Original Stand Mixer is highly recommended for its unique design that effectively handles bread dough, while the KitchenAid models are also popular for their versatility and power," which told me that far from assisting my search, the software is an ad server (for ridiculously expensive equipment great for a restaurant or professional kitchen but totally inappropriate for my kneads (pun intended).  

What the software had done in that answer  in a way that mimics thought but without the slightest spark of any creativity, much less any hint of understaning the scope of the question. A sales clerk in a shop or a telesales person would have asked at once something like, "Do you need it for home use or a catering business?" In other words, AI is capable of astonishing feats data  collation and presentation  but utterly incapable of actual intelligence. It’s like a sophisticated parrot: seeming to speak English but in reality only mimicing noises without any understanding of what they may mean. Very similar to a fondly remembered British TV stunt from the 1980s featuring a talking dog (YouTube video). The dog could only say 'sausages' but at least dogs can apppreciate  sausages wheras an AI bot could not. 

Two CEOs of prominent A I startups, Sam Altman of Open AI and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei have invested a lot of money and effort to  hype a speculative and unproven hypothesis called scaling i.e.  training AI models on ever more data using ever faster hardware would lead to AGI (artificial general intelligence) or even *superintelligence* which surpasses humans.

LLMs (large language models whatever than means,), which power systems like Chat GPT, are in reality nothing more than pimped up up statistical regurgitation apparati, so hallucinations, inaccuracies & fallacious reasoning will continue to bedevil them.

To be sure, adding more data to large language models, which are trained to produce text by learning from vast databases of human-created text, helps the models improve, yes—-but only to a degree. Even significantly scaled, the models still don’t *catch on* to the concepts they are exposed to, or know anything about the concepts short of whatever predictive algorithms can lay at their doorstep, which is why the models like chad-gibbity, based on LLMs, botch responses. As I have written at least a hundred times, ' the great thing about computers is they can parse and filter millions of words of data in a few seconds, unfortunately a computer will never have and idea what a single one of those words means.

In other words AI and LLMs are not the stairway to superintelligence heaven.

 What have we Boggart Bloggers here, on Original Boggart Blog (UK) and in The Daily Stirrer been saying since day one of this war (and we don't mean day one in February this year, but day one back in 2014.) This is America and NATO's proxy war with Russia, being fought with US / NATO weapons but on Ukrainian soil and with Ukrainian lives.

Russia Warns Of A “Direct Military Clash” With The U.S.

by Mac Slavo | Oct 5, 2022 | Headline News | 0 comments

As Moscow’s envoy addressed the United Nations, the Pentagon announced a list of new weapons for Kyiv. This is seen as provocation and advancement of war on the part of the United States, and one Russia warns could result in a “direct military clash.”

Diplomat Konstantin Vorontsov told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the U.S.’s continued supply of weapons to Ukraine will only be tolerated for so long.  Moscow’s envoy was speaking after the Pentagon announced the contents of another military shipment to Ukraine, valued at $625 million.

“The US is increasing the deliveries of weapons to Ukraine, providing its military with intelligence information, ensuring the direct participation of its fighters and advisers in the conflict,” Vorontsov, who is the deputy head of the Russian delegation, told the General Assembly’s First Committee, a body charged with arms control and security issues. This “not only prolongs hostilities and leads to new casualties, but also brings the situation closer to the dangerous line of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO,” Vorontsov added.

Retired Pentagon Advisor Says The U.S. Is The Most Likely to Destroy Nord Stream Pipelines

The latest batch of weapons and equipment, valued at $625 million, includes four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and ammunition for them, 16 each of the 155mm and 105mm howitzers, 75,000 rounds for artillery ammunition – including guided rounds and remote mine-laying ones – small arms and mortar rounds, and 200 MRAP armored vehicles. –RT

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc including NATO. Kyiv insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked yet has recently applied for fast-tracked approval to join NATO.

War Approaches: Ukraine Applies For “Accelerated” NATO Membership

While it appears that a world war is quickly approaching, some say we are already in the third world war.

Pope: The Russia-Ukraine War Is A “World War”

With the amount of involvement the U.S. has in supplying Ukraine with weapons, it does appear that the pope may be correct. It will take very little at this point to ignite a direct conflict with the U.S.

Rabobank: Russia Is Prepared To Declare Economic War On The West, Inflicting "Huge Economic Pain"

By Michael Every of Rabobank via Zero Hedge

There seems no way to bridge the fundamental differences in interpretations of the 1975 Helsinki European security agreement that says all states are sovereign and free to decide which defence alliance they want to join, and that no state should join an alliance seen as a threat by another. Which clause has primacy? The former, if you view NATO as defensive. The latter, if you see NATO as offensive.

As in the 1920s/30s, you also get passionate, polarized views on who is to blame. There are those who see Putin as Hitler and Ukraine as the Sudetenland – or Poland. There are those who see the ‘US Deep State’ driving things. And both can be true, which just makes matters worse.

Meanwhile, the scandal-plagued UK government (this time it is about prosecco, not cake) and its Polish and Ukrainian counterparts are to sign a trilateral defence treaty. Of course, such defense pacts are not new - back in September 1996 the same trio were saying the same thing. Yet the UK guaranteeing not just Ukraine’s but Poland’s border…are history, and the UK government, slurring old lyrics, rhyming or repeating themselves?

There is also pressure building in the Balkans: Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia --maybe even EU member Bulgaria-- are all in a pot Russia is helping to stir. Its Foreign Minister just stated he does not accept that Montenegro and North Macedonia should be NATO members when they already are.

Yet NATO member Hungary’s PM just visited Moscow, and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs oozed: “Hungary has invariably confirmed its reputation as a reliable partner in the transit of Russian fuels. Naturally, we are willing to build up mutually advantageous cooperation in this area.” In other words, don’t expect any EU energy sanctions if Budapest has a veto? Yet that means the West has no pressure point against Russia except the military, where it is outgunned.

Meanwhile, Russia just banned the export of ammonium nitrate for two months (while Lithuania has fully blocked the rail shipment of potash from Belarus). The potential upside impact on fertilizer prices in Europe should be obvious. So should the fact that Russia clearly understands the geopolitical and geoeconomic pressure points that *it* controls. They can see the US does not want to raise rates but has to. They can also see that they can force inflation far higher, inflicting huge economic pain, even if they take some too. That is how economic wars work. Are we ready to fight one, or are we going to redraw borders to avoid one?

The scale of what is happening over markets’ heads --and the naval-gazing drivel on Bloomberg this morning-- is summarized by former Portuguese politician Bruno Maçães in a Time magazine article, “What Happens Next in Ukraine Could Change Europe Forever”. In it, he notes: “The Russian television anchor Dmitry Kiselyov, known as a reliable Kremlin mouthpiece, explained on air during the past weekend that the current crisis is not about Ukraine: ‘The scale is much bigger.’” I concur: which is why I called it a metacrisis.

British Government Laundered Fake U.S. 'Intelligence' On Ukraine

from Moon Of Alabama

 

U.K. accuses Russia of scheming to install a pro-Kremlin government in Ukraine
by Paul Sonne, John Hudson, Shane Harris

The British government on Saturday accused Russia of organizing a plot to install a pro-Moscow government in Ukraine, as the Kremlin masses troops and materiel near the Ukrainian border in what Western officials fear is an impending military assault on the neighboring nation.

The U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office gave relatively little information about the intelligence unveiled Saturday other than to say that the Russian government was considering trying to make a Russia-leaning former member of Ukraine’s parliament, Yevhen Murayev, the country’s new leader.

“The information being released today shines a light on the extent of Russian activity designed to subvert Ukraine, and is an insight into Kremlin thinking,” U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement, calling on Russia to de-escalate and pursue a path of diplomacy.

“As the U.K. and our partners have said repeatedly, any Russian military incursion into Ukraine would be a massive strategic mistake with severe costs,” Truss said.

British authorities also said they had information showing how Russia’s intelligence services maintain links with numerous former Ukrainian politicians. Some of those former Ukrainian politicians are in contact with Russian intelligence officers planning the attack on Ukraine, the British government said.

Last week, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss publicly accused Russia of organizing a plot to install a pro-Moscow government led by a former member of Ukraine’s parliament. The intelligence underlying that revelation, which also linked some former Ukrainian politicians to Russian intelligence officers involved in planning for an attack on Ukraine, was collected and declassified by the United States, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

PayPal defunds The Exposé for reporting the facts the mainstream refuse to

from The Expose, 2 February 2022

PayPal is the latest tech giant to join the censorship game, shutting down its services for a variety of organisations opposed to Covid-19 vaccine mandates, including The Expose.

This increasingly orchestrated attack has also targeted the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), Organic Consumer’s Association (OCA) and many others — and should send a chill down the spine of anyone who values freedom.

Powerful forces are at play, and Big Tech is among them, working to suppress, discredit and silence certain science, speech and viewpoints. “No longer is there any doubt,” investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson reported, “that vaccine industry interests and other corporate and political interests are pulling the strings so that Big Tech moves to squash scientific views, studies, scientists, and opinions that are contrary to the narrative.”

On 5th Jan 22, PayPal suddenly notified The Expose that it would no longer process donations from our supporters – effective immediately. This means The Expose instantly lost over 75% of its monthly subscribers who had chosen to support us via PayPal.

Grooming gang victims have been failed by authorities, shocking testimonies show

from GB News

Grooming gang victims, often children, have been failed by authorities, according to an inquiry. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) looked into abuse by grooming gangs in England and Wales, which has uncovered horrific cases. A victim codenamed CS-A12 was a sufferer of domestic violence by her stepfather as well as her mother. 

 

 She started running away from home at the age of 12, and would self-harm. She was also treated for depression and was put in residential care. The victim said that she was "left" to do what she wanted, and she then met adult men who sexually taken advantage of her for the next three to four years. 

 

The woman said: “They pretended that I was part of their family. They gave me what I was lacking at the care home. They gave me somewhere where I felt like I belonged and somewhere where I felt like I was wanted.” 

 

Police often stopped cars where CS-A12 was with her abusers, but they did nothing even after knowing her age and that she was not in the care home. 

 

“One police officer told me I was what was going wrong in our society and that I was the type of person that was bringing about a bad society,” she told IICSA. “Another one said that we were going to get these men in trouble because we wanted to act like child prostitutes.” 

 

Harrowing evidence of child sexual exploitation by organised gangs offered only a glimpse of the ordeals suffered by young victims. Continue reading >>>

Father of A.I. Shocks Everyone With His Newest (Scariest) Creation

We are told at least once a week that 'scientists' have made some great advance in computer technology and in just a few years we will have been overtaken in terms of intelligence by the machines we created. Strangely, computer scientists were saying exactly that when the first program I wrote was loaded to a LEO computer from punched paper tape just over fifty years ago. and yet we seem to be no nearer creating any software that can be compared to human intelligence, (nerds may argue with that, but nerds are not human.)

Computers have advanced enormously since I wrote that dodgy bit of COBOL of course, what has not changed is our total inability to define what makes us intelligent in a way that animals (and nerds) are not. What I'm talking about is our ability to deal with abstract ideas and imagined situations.

Will humans be overwhelmed by the power of Artificial Intelligence? Not only do many scientists believe we will but they seem eager for it to happen. So far however, we have many perdictions of what A I will do, but in practical demonstrations tests have to be rigged to favour a machine that can parse and filter vast amounts of data very quickly over a human brain that actually thinks. So is it really likely we will become Slaves To The Machine any time soon?

Well, Dr. Louis Rosenberg – founder and CEO of Unanimous AI, believes that human swarming may be able to amplify human intelligence and buy us some time, if not change the outcome entirely.

During an 86 interview with Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous AI, singularity blog explored a variety of interesting topics with the self - styled "Father Of Artificial Intelligence," such as: how and why he got interested in AI, virtual and augmented reality; his motivation and main goals; why groups are smarter than individuals (oh no, not the wisdom of cowds (aka mob mentality) again; his dream of amplifying human intelligence; the dangers of software based AGI; being a vegan and respecting [i.e. not consuming] other intelligences; his latest company Unanimous AI; the definition of a swarm mentality and its differences from both a herd and a crowd; his platform computer interface for human swarming called UNU; predicting the Oscars with a human swarm; flocks of birds and schools of fish versus swarms of bees; swarms of experts as a super-expert; Miguel Nicolelis‘ brain-to-brain computers; collective intelligence and the Borg…

(You can listen to/download the audio file above or watch the video interview in full.

In my estimation the man is clueless. He says we "need to be cautious." WTF does that mean? If these 'God complex' scientists were truly cautious, they would stop what they are doing altogether. They are the quintessential useful idiots, doing the bidding of their corporate masters without question. Scientists do not do these things for money, fame maybe, but the main motivation seems to be that they are obsessed with doing something difficult. The people who financially support their work are motivated by the wealth and power, but the scientists are too detached from reality to see the sinister agenda behind all this technology push.

We have already come too far too fast. Human societies evolve as animal and plant species do and technology has imposed more change than our societies can adapt to in the time we have had. It goes beyond the laws of nature and natural progression. Without humans or beings of consciousness, all that exists is meaningless. No, the tree does not make a sound if it falls with nobody to see or hear it. No, the sun setting behind the mountains is not beautiful unless a creature that can handle abstract concepts such as beauty can see it and understand beauty. Our newest creation implies purpose. Our waning lack of humanity is proof that we have failed to keep up. I'm seeing my peers and more alarming, youth who just find no reason to exist anymore. And it is alarming how many among the generation we call The Millenials simply do not understand the central metaphor behind the zombie movies and TV series of the past twenty years, such as 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead. We are becoming obsolete because we have outsourced our business to machines and willingly accepted the collectivist lie that all which makes us human is irrelevant. There is a time to say, no more.

One of the thoughts that occurred to me as I listened to this interview was regarding his statement about values and A.I.; he said the software incorporates human values. The question is, "Whose values? Which human? Jesus, Hitler? Hillary Clinton, Jeffrey Dahmer, Fred West, St. Teresa, a Mafia crime family or someone like Mohandas K Ghandi. All are human beings, but fundamentally different values. Do we kill unwanted babies, the sick and the elderly? Or do we teach them all humans have intrinsic values inherited from our pagan ancestors who created the earliest civilisations?

Democrats Russia-Trump Claim Collapses. CIA Director Tells Hearing Hillary, Not Trump Collaborated With Russians

Since the defeat of Washington insider and the anointed of The Military / Industrial Complex, Hillary Clinton by billionaire businessman, TV star and all round loudmouth Donald Trump, the Democrats, bad losers like all left wing parties have been levelling trumped - up accusations of collaborating with Russia at Trump. It started before votes were cast of course, when Clinton's campaign accused the Russians of hacking private servers and stealing thousands of emails damaging to Mrs. Clinton which were subsequently published by Wikileaks. Eventually Wikileaks acknowledged that the documents had come from a Democratic Party campaign worker - now known to be Seth Rich, who was murdered close to his home in Washington. The death was recorded as a mugging, but apart from the fact that Rich's wallet, and expensive watch and jewllerey he was carrying were found on his body, the killing bore the hallmarks of a professional hit, there were a number of other mysteries surrounding the crime and investigation.

After the election, the Democrats changed tack, claiming Trump has business links to the Russian government which disqualified him from serving as president. no evidence to support the accusations.Still, helped by friends in mainstream media they managed to force an investigation into the non - existent 'links.' That investigation is now presenting its findings to a congressional committee.

Under questioning before the House Intelligence Committee, former CIA Director John Brennan inadvertently admitted that Russia was in possession of information that is damaging to Hillary Clinton.

Brennan’s refusal to answer whether Russia had damning intelligence on Mrs. Clinton, with which they could blackmail her, could only be for one reason.  It’s now clear the Russians absolutely are in possession of such information.

Why else would he only agree to answer that question in closed session?  After all, neither ex-FBI Director James Comey, Director of ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, or Brennan asked for a closed session to answer such a broad question about Trump when each of them were before Congress multiple times in the past.

Under direct questioning, Brennan didn’t come close to implying that the Russians possessed a shred of damaging information about Trump.

In fact the entire sequence of questions were focused solely around the Russians having negative information on Clinton.

US Congressional Intelligence Committee Exposes FBI Director Comey As A Lying Long Streak Of Piss

by Arthur Foxake, 22 March, 2017

Two days ago, to the delight of Trump haters, supporters of The Clinton Crime Syndicate, The (US) Democratic Party and other enemies of democracy, FBI director James Comey appeared to demolish President Trump's allegation that during the 2016 election campaign the Trump campaign headquarters was being wiretapped by president Obama before the election. As British Prime Minister Harold Wilson once said, 'a week is a long time in politics' and that means two days is enough for a situation to change completely. Thus it now appears that Comey was being disingenuous, just as he was when he exonerated Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton of crimes relating to breaches of national security protocols even though there was ample evidence of Clinton's guilt to justify charghing her with treason.

Today the House Intelligence Chairman, Devin Nunes, told reporters that the U.S. intelligence community incidentally collected information on members of President Trump's transition team, possibly including Trump himself, and the information was "widely disseminated" in intelligence reports.

In other words, Trump was right to say that his campaign was being bugged by Obama, while Barack Obama, a self confessed technologyphobe could not have personally installed the hack (probably a software tool rather than the physical 'wiretap' Democrats, left - wing media luvvies, and Trump haters on social media have been raving about, he would have had to authorise the electronic surveillance project.

 AP reports, Nunes said that President Donald Trump's communications may have been "monitored" during the transition period.

Nunes told a news conference that the communications appear to be picked up through "incidental collection" (what an 'incidental collection' is we may only speculate about) and do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia, another democrat / left wing media smear campaign against Trump that has been discredited.

"I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions, the intelligence community collected information on U.S. individuals involved in the Trump transition," Nunes told reporters.

"Details about U.S. persons involved in the incoming administration with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reports."
The information was "legally brought to him by sources who thought we should know it," Nunes said, though he provided little detail on the source.

MK Ultra Mind Control Program Whistleblower Cathy O’Brien: Interview

In a fascinating episode Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt talks to Whistleblower Cathy O’Brien, an alleged victim of the notorious but well documented MK Ultra experiments in mind control carried out by the CIA for the US government and author of the classic book on Covert Mind Control programs, Trance Formation of America. The book was based on Cathy’s groundbreaking testimony for the US Congressional Permanent Select Committees on Intelligence Oversight in 1995.

Cathy’s fascinating journey through the world of Deep Political Corruption and Covert CIA Programs began when her abusive father sold her into MKULTRA Mind Control Programs at an early age in Michigan through his political connections with local politicians, including future President of the United States Gerald Ford.

Through systematic torture and well documented trauma-based mind control programming, Cathy was forced to do shocking acts as a sex slave and participate in CIA Black Ops and White House/Pentagon level operations during the Reagan/Bush Administration. During this period she interfaced with high-level political figures including Hillary and Bill Clinton, former President George Bush Sr. and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Breaking free of her mind control programming and Dissociative Identity Disorder with the help of intelligence insider Mark Phillips over the course of a decade, Cathy exposed the insidious world of criminal covert operations happening inside Black Budget operations connected with the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, including human trafficking and extensive drug running programs.

Deep State efforts to suppress her testimony culminated in the National Security Act being invoked to silence her and continue right up to the present. Nonetheless Cathy’s latest venture was to create a new workbook, PTSD: Time to Heal

Watch the video below:

As with all such revelatory writing / journalism we should approach the content with a degree of scepticism, while what went on in the MK Ultra program and other shameful episodes such as The Milgram Experiments are very believable given what we know of how governments and powerful organisations around the world have operated in the decades since World War 2, and of how quickly and easily 'scientists' will abandon all pretence of ethics and morality when thold that whatever horrors they are involved in are being committed in the cause of 'advancing science', there is never likely to be any collaborative evidence for individual accounts of what happened.

Read, listen, investigate further and remember, it is everybody's task to hold authority to account. THEY CAN'T PUT US ALL IN PRISON.

Russian Hacking Fake News: U.S. Intel Chiefs Have History of Deceiving the Public Says Journalist

from Information Clearing House

See a video of Investigative Journalist Glenn Greenwald's analysis of the track record of US National Security Services on matters of transparency and integrity when spiunning their covert agenda to the Us public and to the nations of the world in a recorded interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now.

Greenwald shines a light on the demonisation of Russia, the hopelessly botched attempts to stop President - elect Donald Trump from assuming the Presidency and the general lack of integrity in the US national security services. We all understand of course that by the nature of what they do, security agencies cannot publish details of their activities, but also they should not be political, they serve government and not the party in government. Also we have a right to require that security services and indeed any government agencies do not involve themselves in criminal activities such as hacking, kidnapping and engineering 'sting' operations to discredit political activists and curtail free speech.

OK, here's that video. 




 
TRANSCRIPT

AMY GOODMAN: Well, Glenn, on Friday, President-elect Trump is meeting with CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and the DNI’s, the director of national intelligence’s, James Clapper, as they brief him, summarize what the 17 intelligence agencies say. Tell us who these three men are.

GLENN GREENWALD: Well, interestingly, James Comey has become, after Vladimir Putin, probably the most despised villain in the Democratic narrative about what happened in the election. In fact, after the election, Hillary Clinton blamed not Putin or WikiLeaks, but Comey, for why she lost, because of the letter that he wrote shortly before the election, in which he said that he—the FBI was essentially reopening the investigation into whether she broke the law through the use of her emails. Comey was a Bush administration Justice Department official who was appointed not by George Bush, but by Barack Obama, to be the FBI director.

John Brennan was also a Bush-era CIA official, who is a supporter not of all aspects of the Bush torture program, but some aspects of it, including rendition and other interrogation techniques that are widely regarded as torture. And he was made the national security adviser in the Obama White House after Obama tried to make him CIA director in the beginning, and liberals objected and blocked his nomination, but he ultimately became CIA director. So these are Obama appointees who are running these agencies, even though they were high-level Bush officials in the middle of important, controversial war on terror policies. And they have a long history—not just their agencies, but they themselves—of approving legally dubious, if not outright illegal, programs and lying to and deceiving the public. And so, there are no angels in any of these machinations that are taking place as these various factions vie for power in this new scheme in Washington.

AMY GOODMAN: But who Donald Trump should find a lot of common ground with, who also wants to expand torture techniques, as he said, expand Guantánamo, his own appointees.

GLENN GREENWALD: Well, I mean, I think, in fairness to people like James Comey and John Brennan and other people in the CIA and in the Pentagon, a lot of those people who became either actively involved in or in a more passively complicit way part of some of the more extreme war on terror programs actually did come to regret it, either on moral and legal grounds or just pragmatic grounds, that they realized that the U.S.—that U.S. interests are undermined if they’re doing things like operating black sites and torture camps all over the world. And, in fact, Brennan and other leading members of the CIA have even said, including Michael Hayden, that some of the things Donald Trump has said he wants to do, like murder the families of terror suspects or reintroduce even more extreme forms of torture, are such forms of war criminality that the CIA and the military would refuse to follow those orders. So there is a significant part of that world that thinks that Trump has gone too far or will go too far. But there are also—and that includes, actually, the person that he wants to make his defense secretary, which is General Mattis, who is a pretty outspoken opponent, actually, of the reintroduction of torture. But there are also some really unhinged extremists in that world, like Michael Flynn, obviously John Bolton, others who may end up with influence within the Trump administration who want to do all of that and even worse. And so, there is this jockeying for power over who it is who’s going to have what levels of influence in what the U.S. government and the Trump administration does. And we still simply don’t know who’s going to prevail among these factions.

AMY GOODMAN: And what role do movements play in this now, Glenn?

GLENN GREENWALD: So, I think that—I think the most important thing is that, you know, you have things like the Constitution that are supposed to impose limits on what even a deranged leader can do. You have courts that are supposed to check that and Congress that is supposed to check that and the media that is supposed to check that—all of which have failed. And I think the only truly effective check against true abuse of power is popular revolt, popular protest. But in order for that to work, it can’t just be confined to some sort of partisan movement. Remember, you had huge marches against the Iraq War in cities like San Francisco and New York and Washington and Los Angeles in 2003 that were ignored because they were viewed mostly as just liberal or Democratic supporters, and therefore viewed through a partisan prism. It has to be a kind of transpartisan movement, where the American population really stands up and says, "This is not about ideology. This is about the choice between democracy and authoritarianism. And we choose democracy." And I do think that, ultimately, only popular movements are the kinds of force that can really put a meaningful check on things Trump wants to do.

AMY GOODMAN: That’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, one of the founders of The Intercept. We’ll link to his articles at democracynow.org. Also, to see Part 1 of our conversation with Glenn that we had with him yesterday on Democracy Now!, go to democracynow.org.

When a CBC political reporter asked Americans if they believe Wikileaks or Government Intelligence Services he did not het the answer he wanted.

CNBC Political reporter, friend of Hillary, and Democratic Party sycophant John Harwood took to Twitter last night to ask:

"Who do you believe America? Wikileaks, or US Intel Officials?"

The response is yet another 'eff off' for the establishment and their smug belief that they can still manipulate public opinion....

We should always take informal, online polls with a pinch of salt of course, the lack of sample control make them totally unreliable. But they are fun sometimes. And the result here demonstrated to the incredulous, whining supporters of Hillary Clinton who still can't believe she lost, just why a dick like Trump is about to become President while Hillary occupies space in the waste bin of history. When will these people wake up to the fact that no sane person likes big government or trusts its agencies such as the CIA or FBI, or its advocates in the media?

As Trump tweeted earlier this week: "It is for the American people to make up their minds as to the truth."

Why shouldn't people believe Wikileaks over the government, politicians and mainstream media? The establishment and its agencies give us propaganda and fake news, Wikileaks does appear to have authenticated information.  People who are on the receiving end, like hillary, Podesta and The DNC have never dared claim it is fabricated.
  
Just this week we have heard a lot of screaming and shouting about Russian hackers stealing the election for Trump. Some say it was a last ditch attempt by the Democrats and The Clinton Crime Syndicate to steal the election. It failed. After an Intelligence briefing this week, Donald Trump issued as statement to the effect that outside agencies had no effect on the election results.
President-elect Trump has issued a statement following his briefing with various intelligence agencies over the Russian hacking allegations, seemingly rejecting the Democrats' charges that it was the Russians alone and that it had any effect on the outcome of the election.

Additionally, Trump promised to appoint a team to give him a plan to combat cyber attacks within 90 days of taking office.

So do Russia and other foreign governments launch cyber attacks on the USA? 
Of course they do.

And do the US, European and NATO governments conduct cyber attacks against Russia and its allies?
Of course they do. 

It's time Obama, Clinton, Biden and the rest, and all their cronies in mainstream media grew up.
