Beijing is fully aware the NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is the un-dissociable double of the U.S. war against its Belt and Road Initiative.
Imagine President Xi Jinping mustering undiluted Taoist patience to suffer through a phone call with that warmongering actor in a sweaty T-shirt in Kiev while attempting to teach him a few facts of life – complete with the promise of sending a high-level Chinese delegation to Ukraine to discuss “peace”.
There’s way more than meets the discerning eye obscured by this spun-to-death diplomatic “victory” – at least from the point of view of NATOstan.
The question is inevitable: what’s the point of this phone call? Very simple: just business.
The Beijing leadership is fully aware the NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is the un-dissociable double of an American direct war against the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Until recently, and since 2019, Beijing was the top trade partner for Kiev (14.4% of imports, 15.3% of exports). China essentially exported machinery, equipment, cars and chemical products, importing food products, metals and also some machinery.

Understanding the exceptional pre-vaccination Era East Asian COVID-19 outcomes
Abstract
During the first year of the pandemic, East Asian countries have reported fewer infections, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID-19 disease than most countries in Europe and the Americas. Our goal in this paper is to generate and evaluate hypothesis that may explain this striking fact. We consider five possible explanations: (1) population age structure (younger people tend to have less severe COVID-19 disease upon infection than older people); (2) the early adoption of lockdown strategies to control disease spread; (3) genetic differences between East Asian population and European and American populations that confer protection against COVID-19 disease; (4) seasonal and climactic contributors to COVID-19 spread; and (5) immunological differences between East Asian countries and the rest of the world. The evidence suggests that the first four hypotheses are unlikely to be important in explaining East Asian COVID-19 exceptionalism. Lockdowns, in particular, fail as an explanation because East Asian countries experienced similarly good infection outcomes despite vast differences in lockdown policies adopted by different countries to control the COVID-19 epidemic. The evidence to date is consistent with our fifth hypothesis – pre-existing immunity unique to East Asia – but there are still essential parts of this story left for scientists to check.

The Ethical Skeptic has been saying this for a long time and also claims that China suppressed information that covid was circulating in China much earlier than Fall of 2019. A speculative line of thought leading from this and other evidence is that China inoculated its own population in 2017-18 with a mild covid variant in preparation for releasing the covid bioweapon on the world—and particularly USA—in late 2019. See this for more on this topic: Military thought experiment Part 4: Did China already do it? ABN
Summary of covid — It’s probable origin, distribution, and virulence
We published these chart almost as soon as Omicron was sequenced.
Omicron:
1. Did not arise from Wuhan-Alpha-Delta
2. Was much older than Covid-19
3. Conferred immunity on much of Pac-Asia and Africa.

A look into the ‘controlled opposition’ of PragerU
In essence, PragerU is controlled opposition to the Jewish-controlled left-wing educational media promoting “wokeism” and Progressive views. Neither will notice Jewish power, and both will protect Jewish power from scrutiny. PragerU will participate in the incitement and provocation of right vs. left, driving the political divide deeper in the same way Communist propaganda drove a class divide between bourgeoisie and proletariat, and Neo-Communists drove and still drive a race divide in the U.S.
PragerU uses public actress and performer “Caribbean” Candace Owens as its diversity face for “the story of many Americans,” along with its “Story of PragerU” video, featuring mullato Amala Ekpunobi. This is conservatism that is safe for the Jews. Owens—and many others of the new crop conservative spokespeople—was discovered and groomed by a talent agency owned and operated by a corrupt Jewish Israeli pornographer involved in much greater organized crime, including Blackmailing and bribing police and military personnel and accused of selling drugs to minors.

Does media selectively focus on white criminals over POC ones?
In light of recent events in Kansas City, does the media truly selectively focus on white criminals over POC ones?
Yes, seemingly so. A murderer’s race is mentioned 4x more often if he is white rather than black.
And not only does the media mention the race of white murderers more, they also do it sooner into the article!
I’ve noticed this myself, they place the race of white offenders more prominently

‘The only scenario that adds up is simply, the US are lying’
1) What evidence do we have that China played a role in the creation of SARS-CoV-2?
Because an outbreak occurred in Wuhan?
Why is the assumption now that this was an unintentional leak by China, as opposed to a biological attack on Chinese soil?
2) Also, the geopolitical math doesn’t add up.
Russia and China have formed a close diplomatic and militaristic alliance. Russia and China have both accused “Western Oligarchs” of creating SARS-CoV-2.
Why would Russia buddy up to China, if China created SARS-CoV-2?

Political elites who control the Western world are a product and reflection of us
One way to look at elites is they have evolved in tandem with the inexhaustible gullibility of the masses. This has taught them that they can get away with anything. And this has made them careless and, yes, incompetent. They really did think it was a good idea to goad Russia into war and then respond with sanctions. Or that they really can get away with a plandemic and weaponized vax. Our elites are a product and reflection of the gullibility of human masses, of us. Historically, it has ever been thus.
Kevin McKernan has a good take on what covid really was and is—he sees it as PCR test malfeasance built on a weak virus that can’t do much more than infect with mild or no symptoms. Mike Yeadon sees it this way as well.
Why were there such bad symptoms in some people or such large death tolls? Because patients were maltreated in hospitals, which were paid handsomely to do deadly protocols. Maybe some strong viruses were seeded here and there which would account for the bad symptoms experienced by some. A sprinkling of cases like that would suffice to alarm doctors whose concerns would intensify the scam. This is biowarfare being used to cause panic and disruption more than to kill in very large numbers.
Recall the scary lab leak from China and their videos, and their being secretive about the origins of covid; all just mind-control to panic the masses. A thread on this topic and McKernan’s thoughts can be found here. This way of looking at it accounts for what JJ Couey is saying while also sidelining many of his conclusions. ABN
Sundance names names — Who’s ‘They’?
…There are various “they’s” within the system. One set of ‘they’s” are the multinationals and billionaire donors who control the levers of power behind the Potemkin village we call Washington DC. George Carlin called them ‘the big club.
’The other set of ‘they’s” that few people talk about, are the operatives who work as the guards for the system. This is where the United States intelligence community, various opaque government agencies, and federal intelligence contractors come into play. I have met the participants.
The guards are paid to run domestic surveillance operations that are then funneled into the U.S. Justice System for official targeting operations conducted by the DOJ and FBI. These are tradecraft agents within quasi government agencies, most federal contract agencies, that target politicians and influential people with the specific intent on gaining leverage, blackmail, information etc, for use by those who retain and protect the system.
You could call these the “seven ways to Sunday crowd” as defined by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Or you could call these people the “FBI contractors” who have access to the NSA database as part of their operational mission to conduct surveillance and create the files that ultimately end up with the “seven ways to Sunday crowd.”
It matters not what you call them, these men and women conduct targeting operations against U.S. citizens and U.S. businesses. They also create the files that are used by political operatives like Dan Jones. That’s why $50,000,000.00 was/is needed for the Trump operation.
All of the puppets, players and politicians within the Potemkin village are under this network of surveillance, and at any time they can be targeted by a host of tradecraft operations to ensnare them.
If you start digging into the actual corruption, schemes or a specific granular episode that highlights risk to the DC operation, you end up like former CBS news investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson, with “TSCI” material in a hidden file within your computer for the FBI to randomly find.
Former DAG Rod Rosenstein and FBI official Shawn Henry ran that specific operation against Attkisson. Shawn Henry went on to work for Crowdstrike in their “proactive and incident response services” division. That’s the intel security company that investigated the DNC “hack” and told the FBI it was Russians who did it…. at least that’s the claim from the FBI who never investigated the “hack”, a claim later denied by Crowdstrike. See how that works?
Yesterday you might have read that 40 intelligence and law enforcement “confidential human sources” were in the J6 Proud Boy’s operation at the DC capitol. That’s another example of the “they’s” that function as contractors to the system within the larger intelligence apparatus. It all falls under the Director of National Intelligence and Dept of Homeland Security (DHS).
Another example of the “they’s” in the system are the FBI and various “Intelligence Community” officials and contractors you see exposed in the Twitter files. Essentially embeds in the Big Tech social media system. It sure makes datamining operations easier when the federally contracted ‘miners’ are inside the communication platforms, able to review all the private discussions and report that information back to the DHS central command.

Wolfram’s ‘computational irreducibility’ explains FIML perfectly
FIML is a method of inquiry that deals with the computational irreducibility of humans. It does this by isolating small incidents and asking questions about them. These small incidents are the “little pieces of computational reducibility” that Steven Wolfram remarks on at 45:34 in this video. Here is the full quote:
One of the necessary consequences of computational irreducibility is within a computationally irreducible system there will always be an infinite number of specific little pieces of computational reducibility that you can find.
45:34 in this video
This is exactly what FIML practice does again and again—it finds “specific little pieces of computational reducibility” and learns all it can about them.
In FIML practice, two humans in real-time, real-world situations agree to isolate and focus on one “specific little piece of computational reducibility” and from that gain a deeper understanding the the whole “computationally irreducible system”, which is them.
When two humans do this hundreds of times, their grasp and appreciation of the “computationally irreducible system” which is them, both together and individually, increases dramatically. This growing grasp and understanding of their shared computationally irreducible system removes most previously learned cognitive categories about their lives, or psychologies, or how they think about themselves or other humans.
By focusing on many small bits of communicative information, FIML partners improve all aspects of their human minds.
I do not believe any computer will ever be able to do FIML. Robots and brain scans may help with it but they will not be able to replace it. In the not too distant future, FIML may be the only profound thing humans will both need to and be able to do on their own without the use of AI. To understand ourselves deeply and enjoy being human, we will have to do FIML. In this sense, FIML may be our most important human answer to the AI civilization growing around us. ABN
Eliezer Yudkowsky: Dangers of AI and the End of Human Civilization | Lex Fridman Podcast #368
This is a very long interview. Its main points could probably be made in about 12 minutes. Yudkowsky is a somewhat tortuous speaker who uses metaphors and analogies when direct description would work better. He spends a lot of time doing a sort of Socratic Q&A on Fridman, which was not interesting. The gist of what is said is AI as GPT-4 is already doing things that were not programmed into it and we humans do not understand how it is doing them. This is an early form of how AI will rather quickly learn to deceive us, doesn’t matter if it’s conscious or not. What must happen, or we face dire consequences, is AI must be aligned with human values to the extent that we have zero concerns about it self-aggrandizing and killing all of us. In 40 or 50 years, a group of smart physicists would be able to solve the alignment problem, according to Yudkowsky, but no one is working on that now and few want to slow down development of AI, which may become powerful enough to do massive damage fairly soon. I think this is a reasonable and serious concern and wonder only why an advanced AI would not know that killing all humans would also remove its energy supplies and maintenance crews. If this topic interests you and you like Yudkowsky and Fridman, the interview is fun to watch and I recommend it.
Another way to look at this, is it is all part of a large psyop which includes everything else that is going on in the world—covid, impending WW3, economic crash, digital currency, etc. From that perspective Yudkowsky and Fridman are either dupes or deep state actors aligned with forces that are working to take over the world. They will use AI as an excuse to crash the internet, possibly attack China and Russia, scare the hell out of everyone, maybe kill most of us, etc. When the dust settles top people will be in charge of an unbrave new world and those of us left standing will have nowhere else to go. In this context, notice Fridman’s expression when Yudkowsky describes human smarts that evolved from “outsmarting other people.” Looks like a tell but who knows.
Please notice that the fear we have of AI is that it will become a KOBK player. And the fear we have that AI is but part of a large psyop is the people doing that psyop are already KOBK players. What Yudkowsky fears about AI, we all should fear all the time about those who have power over us. My FIML partner is a strong proponent of the psyop interpretation and it is mainly her input that moved me to include it in these comments. ABN
