In the movie The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (the Batman) confides to his butler Alfred that he’s having trouble anticipating the psychotic Joker’s next move and figuring out his motives. Alfred blinks his owlish, bespectacled eyes, and then, in his British accent, says, “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” So true. And with that excellent answer, Alfred the butler has just educated the rather naïve Master Wayne on the presence of pure evil in our world. Doing bad just...

A paper (PDF) from researchers at the University of Cambridge, supported by voices from numerous academic institutions including OpenAI, proposes remote kill switches and lockouts as methods to mitigate risks associated with advanced AI technologies. It also recommends tracking AI chip sales globally. The Register reports: The paper highlights numerous ways policymakers might approach AI hardware regulation. Many of the suggestions -- including those designed to improve visibility and limit the sale of AI accelerators -- are already playing out at a national level. Last year US president Joe Biden put forward an executive order aimed at identifying companies developing...

I am going to share something with you that social media is really buzzing about right now. If you go to Revelation chapter 6, you will find that the colors of the horses that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are riding are white, red, black and “pale”. But the ancient Greek word that is translated as “pale” in Revelation 6:8 is more commonly translated as “green”. In fact, the other three times that “khlōros” is found in the New Testament it is translated as “green” in the King James Version. So if the most accurate translation of “khlōros” in...

I've read all of William Forstchen's books, the first book of this series "One Second After" was a classic in my opinion, especially if you like the end of the world, apocalypse genre. His latest book is titled "Five Years After". I finished the book a couple of days, I don't want to give away any spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the book, I would say the book is worth the time and money, especially if you liked the other book in the series. The term DEEP STATE is certainly prevalent in this book. Those of you who have...

President Biden on Thursday signed a major disaster declaration for the state of Hawaii, freeing up additional federal funding as deadly fires have ravaged Maui and other areas. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, certain loans to cover property losses and other programs for home and business owners, the White House said. Biden spoke earlier Thursday by phone with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) about the wildfires, the White House said.

There is a huge generational divide in America on the issue of climate change.The overly woke, excessively propagandized youth are scared to death, most people are somewhat concerned and skeptical of the most apocalyptic predictions, and then there are those of us who have rightly concluded that modern environmentalism is like a watermelon: green on the outside, but red on the inside. It is just another attempt to sneak in communism, just as the “Inflation Reduction Act” was really the Green New Deal.The new head of the IPCC is a global warming alarmist, but even he has realized that the...

Despite the fact that climate alarmists have been obviously and wildly wrong for more than 50 years now in their predictions, they continue to demand absolute credulity for their moanings and screechings about the supposed imminent catastrophe of global warming. The real meltdown isn’t from glaciers, it’s from the climate alarmist mainstream media. But why? Totally ignoring evidence from multiple sources showing that the globe is cooling overall and that their “record heat” announcements are flat-out wrong, the mainstream media continues to predict eco-apocalypse. Since it’s not a fact-brd narrative, why exactly is the media still pushing it? A few...

In a joint statement, representatives from nations involved in the anti-farming pact celebrated the agreement. “Food systems are responsible for 60% of methane emissions,” said Marcelo Mena, CEO of Global Methane Hub. “We congratulate countries willing to take the lead in food systems methane mitigation and confirm our commitment to support this type of initiative with programs that explore promising methane mitigation technologies and the underpinning research of methane mitigation mechanisms to create new technologies.” “Mitigating methane is the fastest way to reduce warming in the short term,” said U.S. “Climate Czar” John Kerry. The news comes as unelected bureaucratic...

Joe Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry is calling for farmers to stop growing food in order to meet the administration’s radical “net zero” goals for lowering “emissions.” Kerry, Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, issued the warning during a green agenda conference in Washington D.C. During the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry told the audience that “we can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.” Kerry warned attendees that his and other world leaders’ “lives depend” on farmers ceasing their operations. Stopping...

Attorney Tom Renz of Renz Law has been a fighter for the people in the vaccine injustices of the past three years. He warns that people must be prepared for the possibility of World War III. It’s alarming and credible. “By the way, if you think they won’t use a war, a world war, to help promote the great reset to take over our country, to eliminate more freedoms, I’ve got another thing coming for you,” Mr. Renz began. “We’re not just going to be fighting; if there’s a World War, we’re not just going to be fighting the countries...

Oh my God -- we’re doomed. The UN’s Panel on Climate Change came out with a frightening report earlier this month that we are sitting on a global time bomb, and according to CNN, “time is running out,” without immediate drastic action. The UN report states that if global temperatures reach 1.5 C above the pre-industrial temperature norm of 1850-1900, the resulting melting of the polar ice caps, rising oceans, and unprecedented ecological disaster will follow.I read this a few days back on a dark and stormy night while working on my own tome about disaster, the next book in...

One of the more delightful aspects of being a dissident from the absurd apocalyptic climate doom cult is the ability to laugh at the decades’ worth of failed, yet quite specific predictions of disaster from purported “experts” that the media has gleefully trumpeted. The track record of the failure of previous predictions matters not in the least, as if mass amnesia has infected not just the media, but government, academia, and the corporate world. Yet, all of these commanding heights of our political economy are united in pushing forward with ruinously expensive schemes that cannot work to substitute unreliable intermittent...

Thousands of farmers are expected to drive tractors to The Hague, Netherlands, on Saturday morning to oppose the government’s plan to shut down 3,000 farms. The government made the move to comply with global warming goals despite a heavy vehicle ban the day before. It can be recalled that the Dutch government is planning to “buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to be in compliance with EU environmental rules” of the nitrate emission reduction plan. Thousands of farmers and the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion will hold a rally in The Hague, Netherlands on...

Tachles: A modern Hebrew word of Yiddish origin that means “to the point.” Are the horsemen of the apocalypse on their way yet? Israeli commentator Amnon Abramovich this week compared Justice Minister Yariv Levin, MK Simcha Rothman and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to those end-times figures. All three are at the center of the political storm currently engulfing Israel. All three politicians are pushing for a right-wing revolution in Israel, and are racing to enact their policies without taking into account the mood of Israeli society. They don’t even want to hear the voices of right-wing voters. According to...

It’s an annual ritual. One that the media enables because it enjoys clickbait and lies. And the doomsday clock has lots of both.Every year, Rachel Bronson, President and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, who has a degree in political science from Columbia, gets up in front of a fake clock to announce that the world is doomed.And now it’s time for the Doomsday Clock to be set for 90 seconds to midnight. Or whatever gets media attention.If you don’t believe Rachel, maybe you’ll listen to Jerry Brown, former California governor and executive chair of the Bulletin of...

Secular scientists are now predicting an “end times” that resembles that of the Bible. The only problem is they aren’t offering any hope. Can it be that the hostility toward Christian, Jewish and Muslim belief in some kind of catastrophic end to the world as we know it is nothing more than an expression of prejudice? While it is true that almost all religious end-times predictions are mere speculation, the latest being the September 23 “prophecy,” that doesn’t mean belief in a doomsday is false. The very same is true of science’s repeated predictions of a “natural” doomsday. Though leading...

So-called heretics from history had some major predictions for 2023, and most of them revolve around the apocalypse. Let’s start with Nostradamus, a French astrologer who forecast the arrival of the Antichrist, World War III, mass depopulation, a drying ocean, and the burning down of the British monarchy — all in 2023. In his writings, Nostradamus predicted “seven months Great War [and] people dead through evil” as our apocalypse appetizer, according to the New York Post. As for Buckingham Palace, apparently it’s going to see a “celestial fire on the royal edifice,” the outlet noted. Some might argue that this...

pple co-founder Steve Jobs died more than a decade ago, but a new artificial intelligence-powered podcast has brought him back to life in a fake interview—prompting the internet to respond with both horror and awe. A recent episode of podcast.ai pairs Jobs with Joe Rogan, whose own podcast The Joe Rogan Experience has been a runaway success. Syed Hammad Ahmed is one of the founders of podcast.ai and play.ht, which powers the podcast's voices. He wrote to Newsweek that after recently building a "Generative AI Voice model called Peregrine," they wanted to exhibit its proficiency in speech generation.
