ON THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH AI

    In 2024, the US Political-Media Complex is turning to Artificial Intelligence to sell us Official Narratives---as if Big Tech doesn't already influence them enough. I suppose that it could be argued that in the Media's case, this is largely making a virtue of necessity, as many of them are lacking intelligence of the natural variety. In any case, readers should be a bit wary of the celebratory headlines coming from the so-called 'Conservative' Media trumpeting all of the lay-offs going on in the Corporate Media. It isn't so much 'Go woke, go broke' as it is that the Media Cartels have figured out that they don't have to pay robots. 

   Actually, learning that Google and Microsoft are the two heaviest investors in AI technology, and AI's use is being promoted aggressively by the World Economic Forum automatically ought to make us all think twice about its alleged benefits. By and large, though, most Americans already never question who's selling a narrative and why; so it's doubtful that they'll worry about who programs the robots too much either. 

    

      

    The World Economic Forum, which has a lot more to do with actually deciding policy than anybody in our silly Election Year races ever will, had a lot to say about AI during both this year's and last year's annual meeting. This year's top agenda item at the WEF was the urgent necessity of restoring public trust in the institutions which it controls. AI, combating 'disinformation,' and wider surveillance technologies were also discussed: it probably takes little imagination to discern where this was going. 

    During one of these discussions, Emma Tucker, Chief Editor at the Newscorp-owned Wall Street Journal lamented: “If you go back not that long ago, We owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well. If it said it in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, then that was a fact. Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news, and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”  As Arch-Neocon Karl Rove infamously put it: “That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality— judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

    Ahhh...the good old days of the Bush Administration when we had Alphas in charge, everybody believed and did as they were told, and the rest of the planet kowtowed in our presence. The 2024 Elections which, like the 8th or 9th national election preceding it, is the most important election of our lifetime, and it's imperiative that we have another Red Tsunami to save the American people from themselves. 

    The Oligarchs at the WEF probably aren't quaking in their boots as much as the Controlled Opposition pundits would have us believe. They have a top RNC operative on their Board of Trustees, who gave his version of leadership at the WEF as: "Nothing was ever done that's meaningful in life without somebody providing some resistance to it. You've got to plow through that resistance if you're actually going to accomplish anything."

    We all saw in 2020 a specimen of such plowing through resistance. WEF Young Global Leader, Canadian strongman Tienanmen Trudeau---who plows down resistance on a regular basis---hosts the country that manufactures and programs American voting machines. As we mentioned in a 2022 article:

    "Vested interests like Diebold Technologies which operates and counts votes (and incidentally whose top shareholder at 14% is WEF/Great Reset architect Blackrock); or Dominion Voting Systems, which is a subsidiary of Staple Street Capital and is deeply connected with the neo-Fascist Regime of Justin Trudeau. The two owners of Staple Street are former employees of the Bush Family-run (and WEF partner) The Carlyle Group, and of Cerberus Capital Management. Cerberus' co-CEOs Steve Feinberg and Frank Bruno are major donors to the GOP Establishment and their board members include former Vice-President Dan Quayle and Bush Jr's former Treasury Secretary John Snow. Despite Republican claims that Dominion is heavily tied to voter fraud, it's doubtful that they will say too much about reining in Dominion."

    The Carlyle Group mentioned in that quote is also represented on the WEF Board of Trustees by that same David M. Rubenstein, linked above, who spoke of plowing through resistance. With WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners Alphabet (parent company of Google) and Microsoft (ancillary to WEF Strategic Partner the Gates Foundation) replacing Media with AI, the Oligarchy has a fairly solid stranglehold on US Elections, Conservative wishful thinking to the contrary. 

    In the nonexistent campaign strategies of the GOP, so-called solid Blue States are written off from the beginning. If one is a Trump supporter living there, one simply doesn't count, as the GOP doesn't back candidates in those states or invest anything into campaigning.(The Democrats do however aggressively try to flip 'Red States). If one looks at an Electoral College Map, the states they've written off: California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, Illinois,---these states combined constitute 167 Electoral Votes---nearly two-thirds of the 270 votes needed for nomination are conceded before the Election even starts. 

   The Conservative pundits like to fantasize that Biden's unpopularity in so-called 'swing states' will tilt the balance in their favor---this delusion is based on the very tenuous assumption that disaffected Democrats aren't going to hold their noses and vote for Biden and will instead enthusiastically admit they were wrong and vote for Trump. 

   It is past time that the political Right stop looking for top-down solutions. It isn't going to happen: the 2024 Red Wave is going to be a washout just like 2022, 2020, and 2018---regardless of what AI chatbots say.
