HEARD IT ON THE X

        Those of us old enough to remember when most of radio wasn't complete garbage might recall that many Rock stations had the letter 'X' in their call signs. ZZ Top even had a hit song in the 80s titled Heard It On The X. Recently however the letter has been appropriated by hipster-elements on the New Right (some theorize because a swastika would be too obvious), especially because Elon Musk---one of their icons---has been throwing it around everywhere. 

       Musk bought social media platform Twitter a few years ago and promptly renamed it 'X.' He also, (because he's totally-not-a-globalist), immediately installed former NBC executive and the head of the World Economic Forum's Media Division, Linda Yaccarino, as CEO. 

       So, today, Ms. Linda announced her resignation following some rather disturbing results floating up from Musk's absolutely infallible Grok AI chatbot: the same device that his snuffies used to audit the entire Federal Government in under six months with zero mistakes; and which he recently claimed would rewrite the world's encyclopedias; and which Musk himself recommended as an excellent parenting tool. A few examples of the somewhat controversial posts leading to Ms. Linda's resignation:



      Those were two of the milder ones, but serve as examples of the overall trend. Musk (who's also totally-not-a-Nazi) was forced to delete the controversial content, and rumors are swirling that the standard Corporate boilerplate ascribing the whole sordid affair to a 'disgruntled former employee' are afoot. It seems a bit questionable too that having worked for NBC, the WEF, and Elon Musk, Linda Yaccarino would have much of an issue taking orders from Nazis.  

    Those details aside, though, this incident should really serve as an example of the dangers posed by unregulated AI, which is heavily being promoted by the Techno-Fascists who essentially run the current Administration. It should serve as a wake-up call; but then again, we are part of a Culture that is utterly subservient to authority and one in which independent thought is actively discouraged. We're talking about a society that already depends on AI for everything from the simplest tasks to solving the most profound questions on life; spurred on by a self-appointed Elite which hopes to use it to establish itself as a permanent Oligarchy. 


        Concomitant with the establishment of a Permanent Elite, the ideologues promoting Techno-Feudalism also envision the creation of a Permanent Underclass. Most Americans choose to drown themselves in drugs and denial instead of facing that fact; hence the task for the would-be Oligarchs has become significantly easier. 

       For those of who actually still value quaint ideals like inalienable Human Rights, the specter of a Technocratic Police State is a daunting one. I still hold confidence, though, that the Great Reset ultimately will fail as all previous attempts by would-be earthly gods to stamp out the human spirit have. The (latest) Grok-AI debacle is another example of the inherent weaknesses of the Ruling Elite, and their power really only depends on how long they can hold it by force and deception. This is why exposing them is important at this stage, but much depends on willingness to face what they are---and what they are doing---and not outsourcing our thinking to the very instruments they employ for our enslavement. The human mind is their greatest enemy; and is why they push alternatives.

  1. LOL! I appreciate your almost-optimism in this post. This was well said, "I still hold confidence, though, that the Great Reset ultimately will fail as all previous attempts by would-be earthly gods to stamp out the human spirit have." Amen, I can get behind that.

    If your concerns about technocrats and the great reset are correct, you can also take comfort in the fact that they took some big hits in the past couple weeks. Elon's attempt at creating a 3rd party as well as his Grok debacle has put him out of favor with the majority of Trump supporters.

    President Trump himself is now suffering from the Epstein debacle. Whether one believes in the Epstein conspiracy or not, it was sold to the masses by Patel, Bondi, Bongino, and to some extent, President Trump himself. Pam Bondi actually hosted her "Epstein white binder part one" melodrama right in front of the cameras just a few months back. So either they exploited the Epstein conspiracy for votes and gamed and humiliated their base, or "they're in on it" and they betrayed their base. Two things you never want to do, humiliate or betray people. Even if Americans can sometimes be dumber than a box of rocks, humiliation and betrayal tends to register on a deeper level.

    Ironically both Trump and Elon overestimated themselves this past few weeks. President Trump kind of mocking, saying, "that Epstein creep, are you guys still thinking about him," was an epic fail. He totally misjudged his audience there.

    1. It's kind of a qualified optimism. I don't know that the Elites won't establish a Techno-Feudalist State here (they're well on the way to doing so), but even if they do, I've never believed that it would endure. I give it maybe 15-20 years at best. Hopefully we can stop it before it gets to that point.

      As far Epstein goes, I think it's largely a smokescreen. Like I mentioned in the previous post, sex-scandals are the only thing that seem to get Americans' attention while Epstein's skullduggery with the Deep State is ignored.
