Human implant technologies will soon become a commodity, a blog post published on the World Economic Forum's website last week suggests, arguing that there are "solid, rational" reasons for microchipping children with location trackers.

The author, Vice President R&D of the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center (IMEC) Kathleen Philips, argues that augmented reality technology "has the ability to transform society and individual lives" and despite sounding "scary," will undergo the same "natural evolution" as wearable tech.
"Hearing aids or glasses no longer carry a stigma. They are accessories and are even considered a fashion item. Likewise, implants will evolve into a commodity. The limits on implants are going to be set by ethical arguments rather than scientific capacity."
Philips believes an augmented society is more or less inevitable and that the real question is how it will be regulated.

Comment: Societal programming requires complete acceptance of the unacceptable. Case-in-point: The shrouded global COVID experiment.

Poland blasts EU's 'imperialistic tendencies'

Although Brussels claims to be standing up to the "imperialist" threat posed by Russia, the EU itself is not free of "imperialistic tendencies," Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said in a lengthy opinion piece for the Polish Rzeczpospolita journal published on Monday. Germany is one of the driving forces behind these aspirations, he added.

Some of the more powerful member states of the EU have often attempted to "dominate [their] partners, impose [their] arguments on them, disregard their rights, interests and needs," while paying "no attention to their protests," Rau stated, calling for reforms to strengthen the role of smaller states in the decision-making processes.

The increased role of the majority vote in the EU decision-making process advocated by Berlin poses a particular threat to freedom and equality within the bloc, Rau believes.
"Small and medium-sized states, who are disproportionately less capable of building effective coalitions" are 'doomed to lose' the vote even when their own essential interests or needs are affected. Their fate is then decided by others, which means that their freedom is fundamentally violated."

Comment: Interesting how the blame for inequality is always someone else's fault. At the end of the day, the circumstances remain. It was Poland's choice.

UK PM candidate Liz Truss says she is 'ready' to use nukes

Liz Truss feels "ready" to launch Trident nuclear weapons, the frontrunner for Conservative leadership declared at Tuesday's hustings in Birmingham, UK, saying that making decisions like this is an "important duty of the prime minister."

The foreign secretary did not elaborate on which country the UK might be persuaded to use nuclear weapons against. She has delivered plenty of hawkish rhetoric along the campaign trail, primarily targeting Russia, and is an avid booster of the Ukrainian cause.

Truss also pledged to raise military spending by 3% of GDP by the end of the decade.

Comment: The footage has emerged on Twitter:


Even though such a decision wouldn't be made by a PM, and even with the likelihood of nuclear war being near to non-existent, it's incredibly revealing as to the nature of Liz Truss that she would make such a throwaway comment. With people like this occupying the supposed top levels of power in the West, it's no wonder much of the multipolar world is fast divesting themselves of the West: The Science of Evil: A Personal Review of Political Ponerology

Best of the Web: Leaked slides detail YouTube's Ukraine censorship - journalist

Posting screenshots from an internal training course reportedly cost a Polish contractor his job.

A tutorial for YouTube's content moderators that emerged on social media on Tuesday shows that the Google-owned platform has labeled a number of critical positions on the conflict in Ukraine "hateful" or "extreme" and can censor or demonetize creators on those grounds. While the parent company Alphabet has not confirmed or denied the screenshots' authenticity, a Polish contractor who shared them has reportedly been fired.

Six screenshots shared by Russian journalist Andrey Guselnikov on Telegram show internal codes and examples of what YouTube has labeled "harmful" or "hateful" content in an online course mandated for content moderators.

According to the slides, the "glorification/promotion of [the] 'Z' symbol associated with the Russian military" is labeled "hate" and "extreme" under policy ID 864. So is saying that the conflict "is to denazify the Ukrainian government," which is what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February.

Comment: Yes, Indeed. The information really plays a key role and can be weaponized. That is happening in Ukraine now. The Ukrainian army has been shelling its own citizens since 2014, but in the news the blame is on Russia.

The same thing happened in Syria. Back then Assad was the bloody dictator that should go so "they" can bring "democracy" in Syria. If we look even further back they used the same strategy everywhere.They bring death, destruction and suffering everywhere. Propaganda, censorship and fake news are part of their arsenal.

The Big Tech companies and media are tools in the hands of the psychopaths in power, so they can shape peoples perception to their needs.

The worst and the stupidest?

Our elites are now viewed with the disdain they have earned on their own merits. And they are none too happy about it.

Elites have always been ambiguous about the muscular classes who replace their tires, paint their homes, and cook their food. And the masses who tend to them likewise have been ambivalent about those who hire them: appreciative of the work and pay, but also either a bit envious of those with seemingly unlimited resources or turned off by perceived superciliousness arising from their status and affluence.

Yet the divide has grown far wider in the 21st century. Globalization fueled the separation in a number of ways.

One, outsourcing and offshoring eroded the rust-belt interior, while enriching the two coasts. The former lost good-paying jobs, while the latter found new markets in investment, tech, insurance, law, media, academia, entertainment, sports, and the arts making them billions rather than mere millions.

So, the problem was one of both geography and class. Half the country looked to Asia and Europe for profits and indeed cultural "diversity," while the other half stuck with tradition, values, and custom — as they became poorer.

Comment: Life has become but an ad lib in the upside-down world that used to be America.

Where lockdowns and fast-tracked vaccines came from

I've been taking a closer look at what happened at the start of the pandemic and how it came about, and what we can do to stop it happening again.

There are two basic questions that need answering. One concerns the origin of the virus itself - was it engineered or natural, when did it emerge or leak and where, and what explains its changing behaviour in different times and places? The second concerns the origins of our response: where did the lockdowns, social distancing, masks and other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) come from, and why did everyone adopt them even though they had never been used before and there was no evidence such costly measures would achieve anything of significance?

Here's what I currently think happened - this article is deliberately concise, to serve as a summary. Follow the links to read more detail on each aspect.

Comment: Connecting the dots, filling in information...a more cogent picture emerges of the comprehensive network operation dubbed 'covid'.

Biden White House facilitated DOJ's criminal probe against Trump, scuttled privilege claims: memos

Long before it professed no prior knowledge of the raid on Donald Trump's estate, the Biden White House worked directly with the Justice Department and National Archives to instigate the criminal probe into alleged mishandling of documents, allowing the FBI to review evidence retrieved from Mar-a-Lago this spring and eliminating the 45th president's claims to executive privilege, according to contemporaneous government documents reviewed by Just the News.

The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump's Florida home.

By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor's claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.

The machinations are summarized in several memos and emails exchanged between the various agencies in spring 2022, months before the FBI took the added unprecedented step of raiding Trump's Florida compound with a court-issued search warrant.

Declaration saying "There is no climate emergency" trends on Twitter - greenies have meltdown

Professor Dr. Knut Loschke studied crystallography, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. In the course of a long career he founded an IT company, and is an honorary professor at the University of Technology, Economics and Culture in Leipzig. As part of his work at the University, he deals with the energy industry and climate change. He served the German Bundestag as an expert in 'Artificial Intelligence'. But Professor Loschke is annoyed, very annoyed, as he demonstrated in this recent Facebook post:
I'm sick.

Or, to put it even more clearly: I'm fed up with permanent and increasingly religious climate ramblings, fantasies about the energy transition, worship of electric cars, horror stories and doomsday scenarios from Corona to conflagrations and weather disasters. I can't stand the people who shout into microphones and cameras, or print it in newspapers every day. I suffer from having to see how science is turned into a whore of politics.
It seems that scientists like Professor Loschke are fighting back, tired of being abused and often ignored for scientific work that fails to conform to a fashionable political narrative. Last week, the Daily Sceptic highlighted the ongoing World Climate Declaration (WCD), now signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals.

Former President Donald Trump preparing to show FBI search footage, Report

Former President Donald Trump may be preparing to go "nuclear MAGA" against the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Some people close to the former president are pushing him to release the video footage of the FBI searching his Mar-a-Lago residence, CNN reported. But some of the aides are not even certain if he has seen the video in its entirety yet.

"I don't think it's been shared by anyone outside of the attorneys," a source close to the situation said.

Some of Trump's aides and allies have encouraged the former President to make some of the footage available to the public, believing it could send a jolt of energy through the Republican Party's base. One person familiar with the conversations said there have been discussions about featuring the August footage in campaign-style ads, believing the footage could bolster Trump's claims of political persecution.

Comment: Did Biden's DOJ push for the raid? Here's the take from two FBI agents:
A former FBI special agent Maureen O'Connell said that she believes the Department of Justice pushed the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago and thinks that the FBI likely pushed back.

She also implied that she believes the real pushing came from the administration of President Joe Biden.
"Sometimes I think it's just a really good idea to sit back and let the chips fall where they may. But when I look at the totality of the situation here, I really think when we talk about spirited conversations going on for a couple of weeks, and DOJ — it seems to me the DOJ is heavy in this situation.

"That they were trying to push the [FBI] to do this warrant. They were trying to push the Bureau to really, really hit this situation hard.

"And my guess would be that the Bureau was the one going against the DOJ in this particular situation, because when you consider which entity has more to lose — the FBI clearly has much more to lose."
It came after former FBI special agent Michael Tabman said that the order would have had to been approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"I think there was inside information - call it an informant if you want. I believe either someone told them something or some other information was stumbled upon, which was kind of conclusive in their minds that they had to go now to get that or they're not getting it."
According to a new Rassmussen Reports survey, a majority of likely voters — 53 percent — say they view the FBI now as President Joe Biden's "personal Gestapo" that he is using to persecute a political opponent. The majority agreed with the statement that "there is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI that are using the FBI as Joe Biden's personal Gestapo," the survey said, as reported by the Washington Examiner.

Berlin's LNG talks with Canada turned out fruitless, the newspaper reports

Attempts by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to secure Canadian gas in order to reduce the EU's reliance on Russian energy have been unsuccessful, Die Zeit newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Scholz met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Montreal on Monday to discuss the idea of shipping some of Canada's abundant natural gas across the Atlantic to terminals in Germany.

However, Trudeau appeared to pour cold water on such an idea, according to the report.
