All my work has been done for years on a Win7 Hewlitt Packard computer. I have an H.P. Win10 Envy that I use for gaming and updated it to Win11, and have made it my main PC because everything’s advanced so much past Win7 that a lot of programs just won’t work on it and websites won’t load. Besides that, the Envy is almost instantaneous, websites load in less than a second that take a half minute on the older PC. And something that stands out is how smart all the software is getting.

I play a solitaire game called Free Cell fairly often and bought the updated version of it when I switched computers for daily use. It looks the same as it always did but it doesn’t act the same. All I have to do is click on any card or group of cards and if it’s playable, it does so correctly and instantly, instead of me having to “grab” it with the mouse and move it where I want it. I mean, that’s really smart. I’m kind of amazed. There’s other things, a lot of Internet content I didn’t ask for keeps popping up in my face when I load a link sometimes, trying to pull me over to a different page, asking for personal information, all kinds of crap that my old pc never showed me because it couldn’t recognize the advanced HTML or whatever code they’re using now. If your browser software can’t interpret it, you won’t see it and I quit writing in HTML over 20 years ago, it was growing and changing too fast to keep up.

My browser is Firefox and it updated itself when I updated the pc, and it’s SMARTER. It remembers everything. It came close, before, but it’s smarter now. Win11 is smarter. Kinda too much smarter, and stupider in some ways. Some of the “upgrades” make some things actually take a lot longer to do now than before because so much has been packed into menus and shell extensions that used to be either links directly on the page or small, minimal menus. Now the menus are so long they run to two pages that you have to scroll through and it’s truly an asspain.

Microsoft has always operated on the principle of “It doesn’t need fixing so lets break it”. They probably do this to make the old OS obsolete to get everyone to buy the new OS. I’ll never forget what a clusterfuck of bugs Windows 95 was. It CONSTANTLY crashed. One update after another. By the time they finally got our $100 OS purchase working mostly right, Windows 98 came out.

But yeah, they’re a lot smarter now. So is AI and it’s really scaring the shit out of a lot of people who know what’s going on. I have to get scared shitless by proxy because I don’t know what’s going on but I believe them when they say they do. One thing that’s happening faster than the average uncaring Obliviate, which is my word for over 99% of humanity, realizes is that AI has started putting people out of work right now, and in 3 years or less, probably less, it will be doing a hell of a lot of jobs that people do now and those people will be out of work. You don’t have to have a robot machine, all you need is a fast computer accessing an AI mainframe and it will do everyone’s income taxes, send invoices, bills, mail out checks or auto-deposit payments and payouts, and on and on. Cars and trucks without human drivers are all over the highways now and there’s going to be a lot more. No more taxi, Uber or truck drivers. Auto-delivery of packages by drones is ongoing. The age of AI and smart robots has begun. It’s not coming, it’s here. It’s just young yet, is all.

AI is going to put the larger part of humanity out of work and government welfare systems will be quickly overloaded and unable to keep up with feeding and housing everyone. So the natural solution is to get rid of them, and that means either war or disease or a combination thereof. Chairman Mao starved millions to death to get rid of them but I don’t think the Europeans can do that. Donald Trump & Co. have started deporting them. There’s at least 40 million here that can be kicked out, and most of them are on welfare, so that would really help. Then if he can get a good Vietnam-style war going over in Venezuela and Bolivia and get lots of young Americans killed along with them bringing back the Jungle Crud and other killer diseases, that would help too. The Europeans already have their own solution, they’re going to war with Russia to ease the population problem and will probably start some sort of disease epidemic to help it along.

Make no mistake, the population will have to decline rapidly and by a lot as AI takes over the world. Consider, the larger a population, the more profit from a successful product because, more sales if there’s more people. So if AI robots make everything you want for the asking, there’s no profit so you don’t need more people, and if there’s a lot of people telling the robots to make all kinds of stuff, the world will get buried in all that cast off stuff. So you need less people, to keep from turning Earth into a junk pile. That means that what you end up with is an Elite, small population of humans doing literally anything they want to do, owning anything they want to own and never paying anything for anything. That’s our future, my guess is in about 150 years from now.

I could go on about this and maybe I will later but it’s past my bedtime. So goodnight.

In what seems like a long time ago, Ernesto The Great (very famous person, but of course you know this) asked me if I thought there was going to be another Great War and I said no.

Times change and opinions change along with them, and now my answer is Yes. China is not gearing up for war as fast as they can without reason, nor is the US preparing to conquer Venezuela and Bolivia and kick China out of the Western Hemisphere for no reason, or Japan converting to a war footing that they’re calling “defensive only” to stay within their nations constitution. But they’re preparing to fight on the side of Taiwan, when China attacks Taiwan, because they and everyone else knows that if China takes Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines are next.

Russia continues to battle Ukraine, which is nearly exhausted of materiel and men, as the EU and NATO are united in refusing to allow Russia to win and intend to keep the war against Russia going. Little Israel is a major munitions manufacturer, producing top grade missiles and anti-missiles along with the worlds best air defense systems and some of the very best arms, and they’re at war in Syria and Lebanon now, along with continued fighting in Gaza.

The satellite nations that were formerly unwilling members of the Soviet Union along with those near them, like Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Nederlands, Estonia and so on, are arming up for a fight with Russia.

Wars that Trump keeps trying to end through negotiation keep blowing back up. The latest two are Uganda and Tanzania, and Thailand and Cambodia. Trump gets them to join trade pacts and stop fighting, and a few days or a week later they’re bombing and shooting each other again.

The last two world wars began in Eastern Europe, the first one started out small and drew in neighboring nations until the world was involved, the second one started with the Germans invading Poland. I was 8 months old, by the way.

The third one stands a good chance of also beginning in Eastern Europe, thanks to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But don’t place any bets yet because this one may start in 6 places at the same time. That it will start looks to be pretty certain. How soon? I don’t know and won’t guess.

“Less than a week after Congo and Rwanda signed a deal in Washington, and less than two months after Cambodia and Thailand signed a ceasefire pact, fighting has surged in both places.”

Trump’s peace deals that he brags about only seem to stay aloft as long as his hot air holds out to keep his windbags floating. He made loud noises about Hamas and Iran, and did go so far as to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, but then prevented Israel from finishing the job and bringing regime change. So of course, with the ayatollah still in power, the wars will go on.

He promised to back Israel against Hamas if Hamas didn’t agree to his peace plan, surrender and disarm within 48 hours. That was a few months ago and nothing ever happened, they never surrendered or disarmed and refuse to.

Now he’s going after Venezuela, which has the largest oil reserves in the entire world, because of the drug trafficking, he says. Why does this remind me of George W. Bush and Iraq? This isn’t about ending the drug traffic, it’s about keeping China from getting control of that oil.

Lies and more lies, Trump praises Jesus and lowers the White House flag to half staff when Charlie Kirk gets shot dead by who I assume was a government assassin, no doubt CIA, FBI, NSA or one of those secretive alphabet Killer’s Guild bureaus. He’s massively a hypocrite and a world class narcissist and I also think he’s losing it. The more I hear what he says, the crazier he sounds. He may not be US President much longer and yes, that’s a prediction. I have a strong feeling he’s not going to finish out this term.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Very few people can handle great power, most can’t handle any at all. It goes to their heads, it makes them arrogant and then they go too far. It looks to me like Trump has exceeded his limits.

On this day in 1941, the Japanese attacked the US Naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and forced us into joining World War II, first against the Japanese and shortly after, against the Germans in defense of England.

84 years have now passed and now it isn’t China we’re defending against Japan, it’s Japan we’re defending against China. No bullets are flying or bombs dropping , not yet anyway, and while alliances have changed and enemies and friends have swapped sides, the world is still behaving just as childishly as before. Only this time with even bigger, badder, more dangerous weapons.

The idea is to maintain a permanent arms race. This forces opposing nations to keep buying the latest weaponry to keep up with each other’s threat level. They don’t have peace between them because those who profit from the arms industries make sure it’s them who run the governments, and maintaining unrest keeps the people working to pay the taxes that buy the guns.

I look at Trump stopping all those small nations wars, and mostly internal wars between factions, and see no threat to the bomb makers profits because these are mostly small, poor countries that can’t afford the jet fighters and high-tech rocketry, they fight with machetes and torches. But getting them to make peace makes the US, and Trump of course, look good, even as the true arms race between the US and China continues to surge and the profits flow unabated.

And so I wonder when the test will come, and where. Will China take the big step and assault Taiwan? The US, Japan and possibly other Asian nations will come to Taiwan’s aid, this is pretty certain. The Chinese might want to test just how certain it is.

Maybe they’ll go after the Senkaku Islands held by Japan that China’s wanted for a long time and keeps threatening, or possibly commit to an all-out takeover of the Philippine fishing grounds, to test the commitment of the US to our allies. I think they’ll make some sort of actual military attack soon because between the US and China, it’s China that keeps threatening the US, not the other way around, while it’s the US that’s actually committing to military force with the new administration. First Iran and now Venezuela and this makes the US look stronger than China. All China keeps doing is threatening and while they’re working like mad to build up their military strength, their threats are empty.

This is a bad look for the Xi regime, and Xi is aging. Old Chinese leaders never have good endings and he wants to stay in power. Starting a war somewhere is a good way to do that, and why December 7 is a real good reminder of that fact.

In the News: Trump just told Venezuela’s Commie dictator to take his family and flee from Venezuela or he would be killed, and now we all wait with bated breath to see what happens next.

I couldn’t resist using that expression, “with bated breath”, because no one does anymore and when it rarely is used, the idiot who does so always spells it “baited” because the meaning of the word “bated” is all but lost. Bated is a shortening of the word Abated, and means Held, in the case of breath. People are holding their breath in anticipation. Bated breath.

Moving right along, the newscasters are all telling us that Trump has Venezuela “surrounded”, which is a damn neat trick considering it’s our navy that’s doing the surrounding and Venezuela is actually surrounded on all sides but one by other South American nations. The one side that isn’t faces the ocean and the US Navy ships. So a little verbal accuracy here might be in order.

Maduro bears a striking resemblance to Joseph Stalin, the Russian dictator during the second World War and some years after. Ever notice? Funny how so many of the worst dictators are all of a type. Like Italy’s Mussolini. Just pointing that out.

Anyway, I’m wondering if Mexico is next on the list after Maduro is dethroned. Trump’s been threatening to wipe out the cartels and this is all about ending the drug traffic, after all. Or SUPPOSEDLY. I say that because he’s throwing most of the US Navy at Maduro’s regime but refused to allow Israel to bring regime change to Iran, that’s spread and financed terrorism way beyond the Middle East and wants to start a nuclear war. That just isn’t right. What’s up with that?

When I was a little boy, before our family was moved to the desert by my idiot father because he wanted to be a cowboy like in the movies and life went totally to dysfunctional shit, before then when we still lived in the city, and Christmas came near like it is doing now, I would wait with bated breath for Christmas Day to see what was in those packages with my name on them, under the Christmas tree. It’s an expression, okay? You don’t really stop breathing.

Since I don’t give a tinker’s shit whether Maduro flees into exile or gets blown into a pink mist along with his wife and kids, I’m not holding my breath waiting to find out. I wouldn’t want to know in advance anyway, that would be like spoiling the movie, knowing how it ends before even watching it. However, I do hope it involves lots of explosions and body counts and devastation, those massive, mile high columns of black smoke are a real trip to see as they happen and it’s mostly over now in Gaza. I’m ready for another war.

The reason our wonderful elected leaders keep jacking up our National Debt to seemingly impossible heights, that could never be paid off, is because they first cause massive inflation of our currency, so that the dollar is worth less.

Here’s how it works. It’s simple. Say that the Debt is One Trillion Dollars that our government owes. Okay, they then DEVALUE the dollar with inflation. Now a 50 cent candy bar costs a dollar. It takes two dollars to buy what one dollar did, just a little while ago. So the actual amount of Debt is now half a trillion in old, more valuable dollars and they can now pay it off with the new, less valuable dollars, which they’ll have plenty of because now that prices have doubled, so have tariffs and taxes and that means government income has doubled. It still just has the same buying power as before, but there’s twice as many dollars to pay the debt off with.

So instead of doing that, paying the Debt off, our amazingly wise leaders say “Look, our Debt is now only half of what it was, in real terms of what dollars are actually worth now, so now we can borrow a whole lot more and still have the same level of debt. So they do exactly that. Aren’t they smart? I mean, what the hell, they don’t actually have responsibility to pay that Debt, we do, only it never gets paid, it just keeps growing bigger and bigger, so maybe our grandchildren or their grandchildren will someday be held accountable for it. But the politicians never will. Instead they keep voting themselves bigger and bigger raises and lots more benefits as rewards for being so smart.

Woke is dead and rotting like the fallen leaves of Autumn and the glorious proof is out there for all to see. For instance, the latest Chevrolet ad featuring the Chevy Suburban, the American Eagle clothing ads featuring Sydney Sweeney’s lovely assets and Nike’s family-oriented ads.

There’s still a lot of Walking Dead Woke, mostly on Netflicks, in the form of mixed race couples in their ads, and non-mixed, meaning all Black, one after the other until you begin to wonder if everyone is Black. The companies paying for these ads may yet figure out that if most of their ad spending is aimed at 12% of the population, they’re not getting much bang for their bucks. They’d better, Black Fatigue is no joke, it’s real and the 88% of us who aren’t black are tired of seeing nothing but black faces in certain companies advertisements. We shut them off and tune them out instead of being interested. Why would we be interested when we’re not Black?

As President Trump famously said, “Everything Woke turns to shit”. Not a very dignified thing for a US President to say, but totally true.

HEADLINE: GOP Lawmakers Introduce Resolution To Replace “Pride Month” With “Family Month. That’s right, they’re out to dump all the queer and LGBTQRSTUV bullshit celebrations and recognition and bring back NORMALCY, Family Values, parents sticking together and raising children instead of faggots parading and waving rainbow flags and cross-dressing homosexuals entertaining little children in public libraries.

I would love to see America become even just halfway what it used to be before all the illegal aliens and Islamists came pouring in and destroying everything we knew and loved with lots of help from homosexuals in and out of government and the collaboration of the Medical Industry and their “Trans-Gender” insanity that’s been inflicted mostly on the children.

I’ve been watching in stunned amazement over the past 45 years as our nation was steadily corrupted by all these assaults. It may never be nearly what it once was, everything moves on, and that’s what I’m gladly seeing now, we’re moving on past all the insanity.

Maybe to new insanity, who knows? But right now, to see Woke finally being thrown in the trash bin of failed social experiments, is a joy to behold.

Melania Trump just made a speech to the US Marines, warning that Artificial Intelligence will “alter war more profoundly than any technology since nuclear weapons” and that soldiers on the ground will become obsolete. She made it clear that this is happening at a high rate of speed, that a lot of automation already existed and we have to prepare, and prepare fast. Considering who she is, I think we should pay close attention and act accordingly.

Then we have the latest cover of The Economist, predicting lots of War for next year, something that you don’t need them or a crystal ball to know is coming. War is all we hear about anymore.

There’s an old saying that “Necessity is the mother of invention” and nothing creates necessity like wars. All our biggest technological advances have been brought about because of the urgency of wars, including the A-Bomb.

AI is being developed most rapidly and with the most urgency for the purpose of creating weapons to destroy each other with, and since it’s AI that everyone is so afraid of eventually wiping us humans all out, I have to ask, Why aren’t we using it to end wars instead of teaching it how to kill us all?

I think that’s a reasonable question.

Elon Musk keeps telling the world that we should breed like crazy, that 8 billion people on the planet is NOT overpopulation, that there’s room for lots more people. He bases this on the fact that if you started dropping rubber balls from an airplane that your chance of actually hitting someone with one is extremely low. So I guess we wouldn’t be overpopulated until there were so many of us covering so much of the Earth that we’d start getting hit all the time with his rubber balls.

He doesn’t have anything to say about the mass extinctions happening now to thousands of species because of our moving onto and paving over so much former habitat, or that our pollution of the Earth because of our vastly increased production, consumption and disposal of waste is causing huge problems for all life on the planet, directly because of our excessive population.

It’s true that we can feed a lot more people because now we can create “synthetic”, lab-grown meat and vegetables, but it’s also true that our modern farming techniques have greatly reduced the actual food value of what the farms produce. Animals and plants have been Genetically Modified to grow bigger, faster, to feed more people but at the expense of food value.

So one question I have is Why is Elon promoting what science knows is a bad idea?

While he’s doing that, it also happens that the human birth rate is collapsing. The “Covid mRNA vaccine”, which was never a vaccine, has now been statistically proven to reduce the birth rate of women who received it by 30%. At a minimum.

This by itself is no guarantee that our population will decline by MORE than 30%, or even nearly that much because it was about 70% of women who were injected. At a random guess, that means a population decline over one single generation of about 20%, and then it begins to rise again.

Unless… the children of the injected also carry the mRNA mutation, and there’s every indication that they do because it’s cellular, in the blood, saturated in the injected, so just like a disease, it will pass to the newborn and because over 70% of humanity was injected, the birth rate decline will increase rather than be isolated to some small group the way Monkey Pox is, and die out.

Back to Elon, population growth is what fuels the increase in wealth of the wealthy. If only 100 people buy your product and profit you a dollar, you make $100, but if a billion people do it, you become a Billionaire. Elon must be aware of the depopulation happening, maybe he’s concerned about his Tesla sales declining. If so, lying to us that doubling an already excess population is a good thing, is not a bright idea from this genius. The plain truth would be much more effective and respected.

The US just carried out some tests, using dummy warheads, of tactical nukes that are carried by F-35 warplanes. This is no doubt in response to Russia claiming to be doing new tests of their own. The question is, “Who is this supposed to impress?” Trump keeps making belligerent threats, he’s threatened to attack Venezuela and sent an armada to their area, but so far it’s just the drug boats that are getting blown up, and he threatened to attack the Mexican drug cartels, with nothing happening there. EXCEPT THAT….

An anti-cartel and very popular mayor of a city there was murdered by cartel hitmen and now there’s riots all over Mexico with masses of people in the streets of all the major cities and swarms of people trying to batter their way past a massive number of police with shields, surrounding the Presidential Palace.

The populace is very angry with their government, which is utterly corrupt and owned by the drug cartels so maybe they’ll do what Trump was threatening to do but I doubt it, harassing the politicians will get them nowhere. It’s the cartels that have to be attacked and none of them will try that, considering the Mexican police and military are all bought and paid for by the cartels, too.

No, it’s interesting to see them all yelling and throwing rocks at the cops but the only way to end the cartels is to bomb them into oblivion. So another question is: “Will Trump do it?”

All questions have answers, the problem is that the answers are usually followed by more questions. That’s what keeps life interesting.

And they may have been here longer than we have, in terms of what makes us us.

Other people, beings or whatever word you prefer, haven’t just been visiting here, they live here. They have at least one known large base on the “dark side” of the Moon, which is called that because we never see that side, thought it gets just as much sunlight as our side does. The evidence that they’re here and have been for ages is overwhelming, the millions of sightings by millions of reputable people, the leaks of information, the videos and photographs… the proof is mountainous.

That other intelligent lifeforms are interested in us is a fact and it looks like they see us as a threat. They should. The US has been reverse engineering their technology ever since that famous Roswell, N.M. saucer crash in 1947 and various ex-employees of these programs have stated plainly that we “now have the ability to send E.T. home”. That should be clear enough for anyone that we are now building similar craft. It’s a good chance that there’s so many more sightings of these “impossible” aircraft now because they’re ours.

Because we’ve advanced so rapidly and because we’re using this technology to develop weapons and haven’t yet learned to live together peacefully, and now have the ability to travel to other planets, that of course we would be seen as a threat.

If one of these alien races wished to attack us they could probably wipe out all life on Earth in a matter of minutes. Instead, they’ve studied us, sampled us, watched us but otherwise seem to have left us alone. I say “seem to have” only because I have no deeper knowledge, it’s just that interplanetary tourism just seems like a poor excuse, to me, to spend so much time and effort to be here.

The US is hardly alone in learning alien technology, China and Russia have also been hard at work on it as long as we have and they’re very proficient at stealing what they can’t learn on their own. So are we. Meaning that much of it is probably shared, willingly or not.

So of course the question has to be asked, if we now have this advanced technology, why are we still building rocket ships? Why are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos spending fortunes competing in rocketry, why keep up with the International Space Station? Because it’s not their fortunes that are being spent. All of it is paid for by our government, and the same is true for Russian and Chinese rocketry. Why would these governments pay out for all this when all they have to do is just have one, like Elon, do it all and steal his tech? Easy enough to do, Jeff Bezos just landed a booster stage on a floating barge at sea, exactly like one of Elon’s. Very spectacular, lots of cheering and flames and smoke and more cheering. Very distracting. Did Bezos steal from Musk?

If the major powers can all be assumed to have this alien technology, then why aren’t they all using it openly instead of still trying to build faster rocket bombs? I can think of one very good reason. It’s well documented that visits by “flying saucers” to military bases where ICBMs are stored has repeatedly resulted in total loss of control over the missiles, a clear message that they will not be allowed to be used.

The story given out by our and some other governments is that UFO’s are all Swamp Gas sightings, normal aircraft, hallucinations, the Moon and so on, supposedly because to admit their reality “would panic the people”, the majority of whom now accept that they are here and they are real. So why? Because if our government were to admit that we have this technology, then why aren’t we, the people, getting any benefit from it? Why aren’t we all flitting around in our own little saucers? Why don’t we have unlimited free energy?

Because we haven’t run out of oil yet. That’s why. The world’s economy is still run on oil, and the Big Money is in the hands of those who own and control the oil. We’re left alone to fight our wars as long as we don’t use nukes or any of the reverse-engineered technology. I doubt we’re being allowed to use anything other than rockets yet to explore space, so that sort of progress will continue. If we are, I’m sure it’s well monitored by them.

Why no nukes? Very simple. They live here too.

I believe that humanity’s been monitored by alien races for a very long time, hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps longer, and while we’ve been mostly left alone to develop, the key word is mostly. Ancient civilizations recorded visits by “gods” who taught them things, there are sky-beings throughout humanity’s legends and lore. There’s claims that at least 6 different races are involved. I wouldn’t know, but more than one looks to be the case.

A last thought. Trump’s referred to the US having “Weapons no one knows about”. That could just be his bravado and boasting, or he may be talking about some laser weapons or drones, OR he could be referring to something developed from reverse engineering. I don’t know, I’m mentioning it because of all the leaks and reports that have been coming out lately from US military people about “UAP’s”, videos of them going underwater and so on. There might be a connection there.

This subject isn’t one that generally concerns us in our daily lives, yet by it’s very nature it’s the most important one of all.
