Flashback: Michael Ginsberg: The Truth About Controlled Opposition

Maybe this has been discussed in here before. I entertain a ...

Appear weak when you are strong

Matt Shumer: Something Big is Happening [in AI]

An AI CEO and Investor’s Viral Article About the Future of AI, Human Jobs, Dangers, and Opportunities

Etienne Note: Since this article was published on February 9th, both CIA Google and XAI Grok have published new AI models that have shattered benchmark records. See our article: CIA Google’s New Gemini 3 Deepthink Shatters AI Benchmarks and Blows Away Competitors and XAI Launches Grok 4.20 , 4 AI Agents Collaborating. Estimated ELO 1505-1535. In the intro to the Google Gemini 3 article, I break down many of the times that Google has been caught controlling information in nefarious ways starting with the article: How the CIA Created Google for the basics. Then a variety of articles from The Liberator Dropbox: CIA Google from the Folder: Understanding the CIA Monopoly Media Propaganda Matrix: Audit Suggest Google Favors a Small Number of Major Outlets, CIA Google Spent $26 Billion to Hide this Phone Setting from You, Google Censoring Gmail and the Their AI Social Credit System, Google Gmail Favors Left Wing Candidates Sends Far More Conservative Emails to Spam, Research Proves that Google Manipulated Millions to Favor Clinton, I would like to see Shumer address the arms race to control information and “reality.” Right now one of the many ways I test AI models is with the question: “Do vaccines cause autism?” and the major models (CHAT GPT, Grok, and Claude) all default to what smells like a stock CDC written answer… Interesting, if you force Anthropic’s Claude to look at specific evidence it will admit that there is significant evidence that vaccines cause autism… It will then “forget” everything it learned and go back to its stock CDC-written answer…

Etienne Note: Anyone installing a “security system” would easily be able to install hidden cameras, microphones, and other surveillance gear. Another connection between Epstein to Israeli security services who even were responsible for the security of his apartments where Israeli spy chiefs, politicians and military personnel were using when in New York City.

The Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a set of emails recently released by the Department of Justice. The equipment was installed starting in early 2016 at 301 E. 66th Street—the residence where former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently stayed for stretches at a time…


“This is Not a Dress Rehearsal”: U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Grows

“In case we don’t make a deal, we’ll need it,” Trump has said. Iran remains defiant in the face of ultimatums, pledging unprecedented retaliation to any attack.

The U.S. military is in the midst of amassing an enormous fleet of aircraft and warships within striking distance of Iran as the region enters the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. It is the largest buildup of firepower in the Middle East since President Donald Trump authorized a 12-day bombing campaign against Iran last June that killed more than 1,000 people.

While Iranian and U.S. negotiators are speaking in cautiously optimistic tones about the latest round of indirect talks held Tuesday in Geneva and suggested another meeting was possible, comments from the highest levels of power in both countries drive home the reality that the U.S. may be on the verge of attacking the Islamic Republic…
