It has been reported that the US government has accumulated a hoard of Bitcoin worth 15-20 billion dollars through confiscation of illegal funds. This hoarding was launched by Pres. Trump who halted what would have been ongoing sales to convert Bitcoin to cash. Is this a sinister move, in order to create a way to trigger collapse of that asset by dumping a large amount of Bitcoin on the market to start a collapse at some point in the future?

Another technology that has mysterious origins is cryptocurrencies. To this day, no one really knows where Bitcoin originated, who created it, or who introduced it to the world. There is speculation all over the place, and it’s assumed someone knows, but that information is not public knowledge. Is Bitcoin a “gift” (more like a naked Trojan horse) from the interlopers? And is AI, and how it really works, similar in its origins? What can Creator tell us?

There is a good joke that’s been around for a while, but it’s especially pertinent when it comes to evaluating AI: “It must be true, I read it on the Internet.” Everyone knows this means it’s more likely not to be true. But when it comes to AI, almost everything it “knows” comes from the Internet. And because it tends to weigh true and false by frequency of encounter, the more AI encounters the same images, assertions, statements, treatments, opinions, etc., the more statistically weighted it will be. The term, “There’s safety in numbers,” comes to mind in that the idea is, the more frequently something is encountered, the more genuine it probably is. This becomes AI’s “default assumption” about the material it is trained with. It can only utilize, evaluate, and regurgitate the material it is trained with. This turned out to be quite a problem early on because the sheer amount of racist, violent, and derogatory material on the Internet was not fully appreciated until AI started digesting it. It became necessary to employ untold thousands of low-paid (on the order of two dollars a day) “content evaluators,” mostly in third-world countries, to filter out gore, hate speech, child sexual abuse material, and pornographic images. If AI read it on the Internet, it must be true? What is Creator’s perspective?

Propaganda has always been a huge problem, but may be an even bigger issue for AI. China and the Chinese Communist Party spend more money and effort, and engage more of its citizens to spread blatantly false propaganda, than perhaps the rest of the world combined. To such an extent that it felt the need to create its very own global social media platform, TikTok. The Trump administration has even proposed banning TikTok altogether because of the nefarious role the platform plays in both gathering intelligence and spreading propaganda. Some of the lies people are starting to believe about China, that it has no crime, that its infrastructure is some of the most advanced and safest in the world, that there are no homeless people in China, that everyone there has a meaningful and lucrative job, that they are the healthiest and happiest people on the planet, and on and on. When, in fact, the exact opposite is more often than not the case. And for every good lie they tell about themselves, they tell an equally bad one about America and Europe. The problem is, they are so prolific and extreme with this propaganda that the Chinese people themselves believe none of it (about themselves, anyway), and Americans and Europeans (especially young ones) are beginning to believe all of it. With AI having no way to filter this for truth or falsity other than volume, there appears to be a genuine danger of AI itself presenting this propaganda as gospel truth, that China is great and America and Europe are evil. What is Creator’s perspective?

The authors of AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference, suggest that the track record of AI used for predicting social outcomes is so abysmally bad that it may actually amount to fraud. They write: “In short, some existing limits to predictability could be overcome with more and better data, while others seem intrinsic (built in and unfixable). In some cases, such as cultural products (like resume scanning AI, or AI used to decide who gets social benefits), we don’t expect predictability to get much better at all. In others, such as predicting individuals’ life outcomes, there could be some improvements but not drastic changes. Unfortunately, this hasn’t stopped companies from selling AI for making consequential decisions about people by predicting their future. So it is important to resist AI snake oil that’s already in wide use today rather than passively hope that predictive AI technology will get better.” What is Creator’s perspective?

The authors of both books [The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want and AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference] were not the least bit concerned that AI presented an immediate or near-term existential threat to humanity in any way, shape, or form, despite copious media hype to the contrary. All the authors, on the other hand, were VERY concerned about the misuse of AI to reduce our freedom and agency to choose for ourselves, to retain the rights to our creative outputs, and even to have recourse when AI decides wrongly (which they assert it is guaranteed to do). Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the best ways to combat the danger and encroachment of AI in our lives?

In an era where people cannot seemingly have faith in anything, it is all the more imperative to have faith in the divine. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the genuine means to connect with TRUE reality and have protection and clarity while the gaslighting of humanity grows to its inevitable finale?

Was use of the term “progressive” instead of “liberal,” promoted through mind control manipulation by the Extraterrestrial Alliance as a form of propaganda to make people believe that change represents desirable progress, always, when such is not the case? Doesn’t this condition us to overturn the past, even to abandon things that work?

Is the political left in America embracing the doctrine of Muslim anti-Semitism because the Extraterrestrial Alliance is imposing those beliefs with mind control manipulation?

Years ago when Brian was doing some research through old newspapers of the 1960s, he was struck by how many businesses were celebrating “their 100th year” in business. It seemed like you couldn’t pick up a paper or magazine without some local establishment making this boast. Family businesses were truly FAMILY businesses. Children took over from their parents, grandchildren from their parents, and on and on. Businesses grew slowly, if at all, but what business they had was stable, predictable, and reliable. Their suppliers were often in business as long or longer than they were. Things changed slowly, if at all. And when they did change, it was considered progress with an expectation for improvement, otherwise WHY CHANGE? Store layouts often never changed for a century or more. For a place like a hardware store, this was important so things could be located quickly. But now frequent change is the norm. Was this movement away from this kind of stability inevitable with progress? What can Creator tell us?

Continuing on this line of questioning, today “reinventing your image” is all the rage. Businesses, organizations, and even schools change their logos often—their mascots, color schemes, building designs, interior layouts, you name it, ALL of it undergoes FREQUENT transformation. It seems like the paint barely gets a chance to dry before the “pardon our dust” signs are out in force again. It always seemed wasteful to me, not to mention inconvenient and bothersome. If these businesses really wanted to please me, moving the mayonnaise from aisle 2 to aisle 5 is not a way to do that. I’m sure every college-level marketing course teaches that “studies say” this is all necessary and beneficial to the bottom line. But is it REALLY? I hate feeling like a stranger in my own town. Am I alone in that sentiment? What can Creator tell us?

Then there’s the “model year.” MODEL YEAR? When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable. What is Creator’s perspective?

When someone thinks of culture and tradition, the things that come to mind are consistency, predictability, longevity, and expectation of continuance. Christmas decorations were something you bought ONCE and reused year after year. Only the tree changed every year, but it was always the same kind of tree, the same size, and was always in the same corner. But traditions of any kind seem to be an endangered species in the Modern Era, to the point where many are even derided. Thanksgiving is more about football than being thankful. Memorial Day is for barbeque and beer, not visiting the gravesides of the fallen. It’s “Happy Holidays!” not “Merry Christmas!” The home-cooked meal is now in a microwave package. There are young adults who have never boiled an egg or even made toast. And again, many just assume and will even argue that all this is normal and inevitable. Really? All of human history seems to suggest otherwise. What is Creator’s perspective?

Political loyalty draws a great deal from both culture and tradition. People like to think they can count on their political parties, and have confidence in the future as a result. But we enter an election season where absolutely no one, either supporters or detractors, can say with certainty whether a year from now Trump will be in the White House or the “Big House,” in prison, in other words. Republicans used to be considered “the war hawks” and the Democrats “the party of love and tolerance.” But it feels like roles have reversed. Nevertheless, people are still desperate to believe and have confidence in their party, no matter what, it seems. But such confidence has become fragile, and doubts and alarm in people growing with the breakdown and erosion of expectations. What can Creator tell us?

The one thing that is noticeable about the wars going on these days is that none of them have seemingly gone as expected. When a certain outcome is expected, somehow, it comes up short. Violence appears when it’s least expected, and just as mysteriously doesn’t materialize when it IS expected. The use of cell phones and pagers as bombs was something almost no one anticipated. People dread the thought of a nuclear exchange, but maybe they should be more worried about the phone in their pocket. Are these wars being conducted in such a way as to maximize everyone’s CONFUSION and paranoia? What can Creator tell us?
