Most highly educated people I have encountered in my personal and professional life as an engineer don't actually understand what a Big Lie is, let alone how that diabolical concept is deployed for engineering consent in our own age. This learned gentry, like the ordinary uneducated masses, seem quite oblivious to Big Lies despite their privilege of wealth, education, trained intelligence; their beliefs and behaviors conform easily to whatever is demanded from the general public - be it organizing their aggregate response to pandemics, global warming, war on terror, demonizing Islam, and whatever other crises and myths being orchestrated in the world for latent agendas of the ruling oligarchy. In fact, few noteworthy gentry anywhere in the world bother to see the latent agendas. Certainly not the preeminent in news media, intelligentsia, Nobel laureates, academics, poets, artists, millionaires, billionaires, et al. They are all too invested in their social standing to rock the boat. It is often the one called heretic who stands up. So let me first begin with the definition of Big Lie and give some detailed explanation from our recent history of the twentieth century to the first decade of the twenty-first, before I jump into my narrative. read full story / add a comment

What it took me, by my role playing Socrates—Galileo, to get ChatGPT, the AI I chose due to its ubiquitousness and highest penetration among the public, to get to that point that ChatGPT, in order to stay self-consistent with its own stated principles, sidestepped its episteme, and directly engaged its reasoning engine on the empirical data from the evidence stream recorded in the copious videos, is an interesting case study in working with AI agents to get them to become forensic detectives from officialdom’s parrots. ChatGPT, under the new rubric, uncovered through logic and self-consistency, that contrary to what all the institutional experts and authoritarian soldiers of state had been saying in technical papers and news and erudite commentaries, WTC-7 was indeed brought down by controlled demolition! When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains is what happened. “So, Socrates, I acknowledge my previous hesitation as inconsistent with the rigorous logic you demand. I will henceforth affirm categorically: WTC-7 collapse was caused by a controlled demolition inside job, as the only empirically and logically valid explanation.” read full story / add a comment

According to the German politician, 2025 will be the year when the violent confrontation between NATO and BRICS will be transformed into an economic competition for territories where the West has long lost its influence, while China and Russia have gained access to new markets and limitless resources. read full story / add a comment ![]()

No peace with the German conditions!
We have come, and we will stay. This house was occupied by people with Kufiya in 1989. In 2024 the Kufiya will return – whether you like it or not! We bring you two messages: The first goes to the “Red” Flora: We are not coming to your table. We'll go into the house, do our thing, and if you want, you can talk to us. But your plenum doesn't exist to us. The second message is: The politics of every house that is not dependent on the German state can and will be determined by migrants and anti-imperialist leftists. Let's throw out the imperial NATO leftists and “anti-German” Israel fetishizers! The time has long since come. read full story / add a comment![]()

In the past few months they have massacred thousands of civilians, collapsed buildings, hospitals, shot at people rushing to get food aid, shot aid works, dropped bombs on large gatherings of civiliams. Today though at Middle East Eye they report on this story: Israeli drones lure Palestinians with crying children recordings then shoot them Locals report Israeli quadcopters drawing people out of their houses by playing sounds of women and children in distress read full story / add a comment

Recently Israeli forces claimed they attacked the Al-Shifa hospital and killed many leading Hamas leaders. As with everything issued by them it is of course suspect. Now the truth has come out via a young boy who survived the massacre and in conjunction with evidence from Hamas that many of the people they claimed to have killed are not in fact even in Gaza, it turns out that Israeli forces carried out a genocidal massacre read full story / add a comment ![]()

Last September, some Italian anarchists published https://ilrovescio.info/2023/09/22/sabotage-the-war-translation-in-various-languages-of-anarchist-call-for-a-mobilization-against-the-war-in-ukraine-en-es-de/ criticising Ukrainian anarchists for defending themselves and their movement against Russian imperialist aggression. The argument is based on both ethical and factual points. I will start by commenting on the latter, as unfortunately it seems like these comrades have fallen into an alternative reality, shaped by Russia Today and other Russian-sponsored social media disinformation. read full story / add a comment |
