    1. Not to fan the flames of transhumanism, but this one seems to go right to inhumanism. New AI reads the face and anticipates the thoughts. Those world class regimenters in China use it to surveil the Uighurs, whom are apparently a decided menace not worthy of any benefit of doubt. “The facial recognition technology, which is integrated into China’s rapidly expanding networks of surveillance cameras, looks exclusively for Uighurs based on their appearance and keeps records of their comings and goings for search and review,” the New York Times reported recently. “The practice makes China a pioneer in applying next-generation technology to watch its people, potentially ushering in a new era of automated racism.” Coming soon, one supposes, to a deep state near you. http://fortune.com/2019/05/07/artificial-intelligence-mind-reading-technology/

      1. Great links, thanks!

        On China controlling its population, it’s not just the Uighurs, though they are likely the guinea pigs. By North American standards, the “racism” in China would be considered off the charts. Back in 2009, Jackie Chan had mentioned publicly the necessity of controlling *any* Chinese population, and I understand why, though there are different interpretations as to why he said it.

        And fyi, by posting such a long link for the second article, it also includes information on where you found the article and so forth. For privacy reasons, consider deleting the end of the link so that only the necessary address is listed.

        Everything after the above address is superfluous and may be subject to tracking.

    3. Hi Catherine,

      I just wanted to say enjoy Thailand! I miss the food there so much. Another great
      M&M segment, especially book and documentary recommendations.

    5. Dear Catherine

      I have 2 questions:

      Q1: What is the title of the interview Greg Palast did with Alex Jones on some of the games the IMF and World Bank played in Latin America which you mention at time 17.30, or would you happen to have a link to it?

      Q2: Where can I find out about the suspicious real estate proposal for Notre Dame from 2016 which you mentioned at time 39.45? I couldn’t find it in the “Comments” section of the Notre Dame video.

      By the way, I just read that a Swedish design firm has a proposal to build a swimming pool on the roof of Notre Dame.
