                                               Beware The God Complex

“The rapid rise of synthetic biology, a futuristic field of science that seeks to master the machinery of life, has raised the risk of a new generation of bioweapons, according a major US report into the state of the art. Advances in the area mean that scientists now have the capability to recreate dangerous viruses from scratch; make harmful bacteria more deadly; and modify common microbes so that they churn out lethal toxins once they enter the body.” https://www.intellihub.com/synthetic-biology-raises-risk-of-new-bioweapons-us-report-warns/

The West is accelerating towards an advanced stage in their macabre drive to transform our natural order. We are already seeing their push to reach “technological singularity” the point where power mad arrogant humans create super artificial intelligence that will usher in an era of unimagined “progress” and “growth”. The flip side of this is, these psychopaths haven’t considered their tinkering and alteration of the natural order will boomerang back on them like a modern day Frankenstein monster. Their agenda to usurp the natural order demonstrates they have no concept of KARMA, reaping what you sow. They’re eagerly anticipating the rise of machines, artificial intelligence, robots and automatons to the point these devices will inundate us and we’ll become subsumed by them to the point of living in a “post human” world. What could possibly go wrong? Remember the story of Frankenstein?
 In these mad scientists’ Bizzaro world they envision a rapid expansion of artificial intelligence with humans melding with machines (what they call trans-humanism) to become cyborg creatures like in the Star Trek television series. Their idea of nirvana will, if their history on this planet is any indication, devolve into a dystopian nightmare. Keep in mind this “brave new world” is the stated goal of futurists, technocrats and most of the global ruling elite who are pushing this agenda. When, not if, something goes wrong the 1% have the resources to counter it and perhaps move to safer environs, but the rest of us don’t!
The Last Poets 1971 album called This Is Madness, was extremely prescient, they recorded a cut called the White Man’s Got a God Complex. On it they rapped to the conga drum beat, “i'm making guns! (i'm god!) (oh god!) i'm making bombs! (i'm god!) i'm making gas! (i'm god!) i'm making freak machines! (i'm god!) birth control pills! (i'm god!) killed indians and discovered him! (i'm god!) kill the japanese with the a-bomb! (i'm god!) killed--still killing--black people!  (i'm god!) enslaving the earth! (i'm god!) dun went to the moon! (i'm god!) oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god! oh god! ohgodohgodohgodohgodoh gggggggggggaaaahhhhhhhhhd! (spelled blackwards is DOG.)
These radical artists foretold the future and told us the nature of our adversary.  My concern is we still don’t see what is happening, we just don’t get it. I have been doing research on Artificial Intelligence (AI), how the biases programmed into the algorithms impact the design and function of the AI, how as AI technology takes on a “life” of its own these biases cannot be corrected.
One of the problems is the algorithm creators and designers do not allow anyone to see how they programmed the algorithms, evaluate or review how the algorithms do what they do. It’s the old garbage in- garbage out paradigm of early computer programming. In other words, racism programmed into an algorithm is going to impact the program. (See the research on recidivism predicting algorithms, the biases and shortcomings in them https://www.wired.com/story/crime-predicting-algorithms-may-not-outperform-untrained-humans/ , https://www.propublica.org/article/making-algorithms-accountable and https://www.wired.com/2017/02/keep-ai-turning-racist-monster/
The god complex is not alarmist ramblings on my part or science fiction; it is in full effect now as we speak! I suggest you do some serious research on the emerging fields of: synthetic biology https://www.intellihub.com/synthetic-biology-raises-risk-of-new-bioweapons-us-report-warns/, human gene editing  http://theconversation.com/what-is-crispr-gene-editing-and-how-does-it-work-84591 , transhumanism  https://www.newparadigm.ws/my-blogs/7-reasons-why-transhumanism-is-the-greatest-threat-to-the-human-race/ and terraforming https://www.universetoday.com/127311/guide-to-terraforming/.
When we look at the consciousness and behaviors of the people creating this technology, and look at their history, especially the past five hundred plus years; it does not bode well for life on our planet or any moons, planets and solar systems they travel to, invade or terraform.
Elon Musk recently said artificial intelligence is the greatest existential threat to humanity, https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/elon-musk-artificial-intelligence-openai-neuralink-ai-warning-a8074821.html. We should pay more attention to him on this!  In my opinion, genetically modified organisms are a close second as are gene splicing and tampering. All I have to say is, remember Frankenstein

Four Important Meetings and How They Differed




Four Important Meetings and How They Differed
                                                      Junious Ricardo Stanton

The corporate mind control apparatus had a field day reporting on the goings on at the recently completed G-7 summit in Quebec City Canada. The meeting was attended by Trump and leaders from Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy Germany, Japan with observers from the European Union. Much was made of President Trump’s Twitter tirades against some of the members and his statement Russia should be invited to participate as part of the group. There were plenty of photos and documentation of the so called war of words among the key participants Trump, Theresa May of Britain and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The media seemed to relish Trump’s antics and spent an inordinate amount of time rehashing his remarks and digs against some of his contemporaries.
            Trump exited the summit early to head to Singapore to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In his wake he left the remaining leaders baffled and befuddled by his personal attacks and adversarial tariff talk and threats.
            Meanwhile on the other side of the world in Qingdao China the Shanghai Cooperative Organization held their meeting.  The corporate media didn’t dwell on this group much at all. Leaders from China, Russia India, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan who represent over three billion people met to discuss mutual trade, security issues, investment opportunities, cooperation in the areas of technology and how to advance their mutual multi-polar agenda. The meeting was chaired by Chinese President Xi Jinping. The SCO meeting in Qingdao was a stark contrast to the G-7 meeting in Quebec. The SCO’s priorities were interregional collaboration, mutual respect and cooperation. The Western corporate media gave almost no attention to the SCO at all.
            Another meeting took place in Europe in Turin Italy the same time as the G-7 and SCO meetings but received even less coverage than the other two. It was the annual meeting of the Bilderberg an elite super secret organization of global movers and shakers many believe pull the strings, give orders and set global social and economic policy. You can get a list of the participants at http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/participants.html but the public is not privy to the goings on at Bilderberg meetings, meetings of the Tri-Lateral Commission or the happenings at Bohemian Grove.
            Then there was the meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. The US corporate mind control apparatus gave a lot of attention to this get together. Those who buy into the left-right, Republican-Democrat, liberal-conservative, East-West okey-doke are missing the clearer picture.
Trump, the US military industrial complex and the media make it seem as if Kim Jong Un is a maniac hell bent on antagonizing the US.  Think about this, since the Korean conflict (June 1950- July 27, 1953) how many countries have North Korea invaded, covertly conspired to topple their governments, sabotaged their economies or assassinated their leaders? None! How many counties has North Korea bombed with nuclear or conventional weapons in recent years? None!
            Now let’s look at the United States. How many countries has the US bombed, invaded, sent troops into, assassinated their leaders, waged economic war on, imposed lethal sanctions against and bullied? The list is humongous but you can get an idea here, http://davidswanson.org/warlist/ .
Comparing the US and North Korea which nation is the real existential threat to world peace? Which nation is the imperialist warmonger? Which nation’s total leadership has been on one accord invading, bombing, killing, maiming and waging non-stop global economic and military conflict since the end of World War II! The obvious answer is, the United States; the nation Martin Luther King Jr called “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today”.
            Looking at these meetings can we discern a common thread or pattern? Can we put them in a clear perspective and even predict their future actions?  I say yes. The G-7 which is made up of Western imperial powers (Japan has been a vassal state of the US since it surrendered to the US in 1945, the US wrote its constitution and provides for its “defense”). Western economic domination and neo-colonialism is reflected in the G-7, except Germany and despite the fact Italy is in a state of economic implosion. For the G-7 it is business as usual, squabbling over who is going to have the biggest share of global markets based upon colonialism and exploitation.
 The reason the West kicked Russia out of the G-7 was based on lies, the supposed annexation of Crimea, the truth is Crimea voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia after the US funded and supported a Neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine. These lies were created by the US and it European vassals so they could demonize and isolate Russia, depict Russia as an enemy so the Western military industrial complex could boost the international arms race against a real nation as opposed to a fake adversary called “terrorism”.
The Shanghai Cooperative Organization is made up of diverse multi-ethnic nations on the Eurasia continent: China, India, Pakistan and Eurasian whites. They are coming together to build a collaborative mutually beneficial working arrangement that neither hinges on nor depends upon military conquest or economic intimidation. Their motives and collaborations are the exact opposite of the US and its Western allies!
 The Bilderberg are the global super elites and their trusted minions whose goal is to maintain and expand the current world order with them at the helm in control.
 The meting with Trump and Kim Jong Un is yet another attempt by the US to bully and browbeat the North Koreans who have not invaded or threatened anyone; who even if they had nuclear weapons lack the aerial technology and capacity to deliver them. Pakistan and Israel both have nuclear arsenals but the US looks the other way on them.
The Kim Jong Un-North Korean issue is sham, a similar scam to the way the US military industrial complex, the corporate media and government used the phony threat of international communism for four decades to expand the US corporate and military empire under the guise of national security, national interests, democracy, humanitarian intervention etc.
Don’t fall for the okey-doke.

NFL = National Fascist League


Image result for nfl logos images

From The Ramparts
Junious Ricardo Stanton
NFL= National Fascist League

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power” Benito Mussolini

            When you look at professional sports, especially pro football in the US, you notice a pattern; almost every stadium is named after a corporate entity. Take a look at the NFL stadium in your town or city, more than likely it is named after some corporate entity like Nissan, Mercedes Benz, AT&T, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, FedEx, Bank of America, M&T Bank, Lucas Oil to name a few.
So what, what’s the big deal you ask? The big deal is the NFL which according to its articles of incorporation stands for National Football League should be more accurately referred to as the National Fascist League! Why are you going there, why do you say that you ask? Because most if not all of the NFL’s stadiums (as well as most Major League Baseball and the NBA venues) have been paid for with tax payer dollars but they carry the names of corporate entities!
You as a tax payer have helped these franchises become extremely profitable. What I ask did/do you get out of it? Do you personally receive a check or dividend from the local team or the NFL? Does the city or county in which the local NFL stadium is located get any money from the team owner or the NFL?
The use of taxpayer dollars had to be approved by a governing body. A city council, county commissioners or a special authority had to approve the measure. In some circles this is called a public-private partnership. In the case or cases where and when the private entity or entities (such as a professional sports team or league) get the major benefit of the deal, it’s not really capitalism per se; it’s really either socialism or fascism. In the case of the NFL, we the people got the shaft so it was not socialism. Other than being able to root for the local team or that particular sport, what did/do you get out of it? How much money do you get from that arrangement? How has your community benefitted from this deal? How much does hooping and hollering and wearing a team’s paraphernalia count and does that pay any of your bills?  
Until two years ago the NFL offices were tax exempt. http://time.com/3839164/nfl-tax-exempt-status/  The NFL office was a 501(c) 6 registered trade organization. The individual NFL teams pay taxes but the NFL office was registered as a tax exempt non profit entity. Keep in mind; this designation had to be approved by the US government specifically the IRS despite the fact that at the time of the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 a monopoly was being created which is against the law. But US government agencies like the Justice Department and IRS looked the other way.
 What is the probability of you or me as private citizens or fledgling entrepreneurs being allowed to skirt Justice Department and IRS rules and regulations?! This clearly shows the power of money and the nexus between money favorable government treatment which almost inevitably leads to corruption.
There is nothing wrong with public private partnerships but they should be a win-win arrangements that benefit the public in some tangible way just like it puts millions of dollars in the NFL team owners’ pockets. What do we get out of the use of our tax dollars?
The NFL gets paid billions to broadcast their games on the radio, television, (which until recently were considered publicly owned air space) cable and streaming services, how much of this money do we get since our tax dollars helped pay for the venues?! http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/09/news/nfl-sports-stadiums-tax-breaks-taxpayers/index.html  There is also the question of who owns the airways. In recent years US court rulings have said the airways aren’t free or the public domain. https://www.cruiselinehistory.com/supreme-court-judges-rule-public-airwaves-are-owned-by-disney-nbc-cbs-abc-and-fox/   In fact most municipalities give huge tax breaks to the NFL teams in their jurisdictions. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/10/how-the-nfl-fleeces-taxpayers/309448/ Plus the military pays the NFL for the jet flyovers and pre-game ceremonies! What do we get out of that except brainwashing?
In Philadelphia when the Eagles and Phillies were negotiating for their new stadiums several years ago, part of the agreement was they would kick in money to help the schools which helped lower the burden on the taxpayers and helped the school district. But this type of arrangement is an anomaly rather than the norm.
The NFL owners recently bent to pressure from Trump and their corporate sponsors and the owners voted unanimously to arbitrarily and capriciously ban players from refusing to stand for the Star Spangled Banner or using on-field gestures of dissent. Trump pressured the NFL to shut down their players much like Adolph Hitler punished a German soccer team in 1934 for failing to give the Nazi salute.  https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/german-football-club-banned-failing-give-nazi-salute/  Do you see any similarities?
