I was away last week attending a destination wedding so only listened this morning. It is well that you took the week off, giving me a chance to catch up. I think for this week, I will make a few bite-size comments because it will be easier to attract specific responses in that way…
I appreciate your discussion of AI, and for the benefit of those who try hard but are unable to imagine it, I offer the following 45 minute video by Cliff High. For anyone that has thought about it but really cannot work out why it will not be able to compete with humans, please listen.

This is not to say that AI is not dangerous, because humans are dangerous and they are always inventing additional weapons. AI can certainly be used in a nefarious way, but it is always the human that gives it the evil, and the direction in which to strike.
Really, as the video title suggests, AI will completely replace the human production of bullshit, which is why many media stalwarts are now failing and all the people who went to school for journalism are wailing in the streets with gnashed teeth. They produce bullshit more poorly than AI will be able to.
We must go back to Harry Frankfurt’s miniature classic, On Bullshit, where he makes the trenchant observation that both the truth teller and the liar are scrupulous about truth, the one emphasizing it and the other obscuring it, while the bullshitter has no such scruples, his only interest is in creating distraction and confusion. That is what our mass media has devolved to, and the horrendous journalism that now passes for news is beneath anything previously seen.
I also appreciate the engineering training that John Titus has had. He is easy to follow because I have been trained similarly. The basic engineering process is the sorting of knowns and unknowns. The knowns we account for in bite size chunks, while the unknowns we account for with skillful risk assessment.
The matter of securitization of property and resources is certainly a very concerning one, not least because of the concerns you raise with regard to easements on private property, but with the sequestration of mineral resources within the vast tracts of land that are held by the government. The ongoing worship of the climate change hoax by the powers that be could lead us in a very unhappy direction, particularly when Alaska and ANWR is considered. That oil field is the greatest in the world, and would, to any sane person, be considered an enormous strategic asset, but to the globalists, the asset is a considerable weapon when its bounty is withheld from humanity. I think we have to get that message out there.
I don’t believe there is anything in the Constitution to prevent the so-called privatization of these tracts, but there should be some bar to the acquisition of strategic assets by hostile forces. I don’t hold out too much hope for it, but that would be the theory.
As for taxation of private property to the level that it can no longer be held, the Fifth Amendment should be some constitutional bar for that. According to an excerpt from a publication by Indiana University’s McKinney School of law, PROPERTY RIGHTS, HOUSING, AND THE
AMERICAN CONSTITUTION…,
“courts have also ruled that a takingoccurs, and compensation must be paid, when the government interferes incertain ways with an owner’s possessory interests, while acting in an
enterprise capacity or by a police power regulation of private propertyrights. These situations are known as cases of inverse condemnation, in
which there is no direct taking of title. The government often contests incourt whether compensation is required…”
Irrespective of the terrain, it’s a slippery slope if this is the intention of the government.
Hi Catherine, First, have you seen the video of the Heritage President’s scorched earth speech against the global elites at the WEF? I’m surprised he got away alive. Secondly, and with the greatest respect for you and John Titus, if Trump is guilty of committing an “atrocity” by backing and funding the vaccine, it means that he deliberately intended to murder millions of people. That is patently absurd. He was dead wrong by believing the corrupt medical establishment and unbelievably careless by rushing into “operation warp speed.” And I’m sorry to say that even though he is not a politician, he has taken on the politician’s trait of refusing to admit he was wrong about the vaccine even though by now he surely knows it. But there is a universe of difference between a colossal blunder and an atrocity. And consistently accusing Trump of the latter could help assure that our next President is named Gavin.
I agree 100% that continually
beating on Trump is the prescription for another electoral failure. You would as well discredit Jesus for creating the division between Christians, Jews and Muslims, with all the warfare and atrocities that has meant. But you’d still bring Jesus back, if you could.
We need to be quits in our rage against Trump over the vaccine. It was, as you say and most appreciate, the doing of the global cabal. I do not recall, when Trump was all about Operation Warp Speed, that Catherine said very much about that, nor did I, but I guess our perception differences did not surface then. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps Catherine was not.
I still say that given the timing of the operation, Trump did the right thing from a practical standpoint. He would not have mandated vaccines for anyone, and indeed, he did not. I didn’t hear a comparable genocide accusation from these quarters about how the Biden Administration and the whole left side absolutely flogged every possible heartstring to get people to take it. I don’t think anyone can point to anything like that with Trump. Prove me wrong!
In the words of superb, but little known Philadelphia band, The Hooters, named after the musical instrument the Hohner Melodica, which features in their oeuvre, “Open up your eyes, girl! We’re fighting on the same side!
I don’t believe that Trump is incompetent and easy to trick. However, if it turns out that this is the case, I fail to see how it is an argument to support him for President.

US Federal govt selling off Helium reserve in Texas… teh element is normally needed to keep MRI machines cold enough.

Transcribed: Biden Admin Sells Federal Helium Reserve, Threatening US Industry & National Security
The US government is selling off the Federal Helium Reserve, which is a large subterranean stockpile located in Amarillo, Texas.
The Helium stockpile provides up to 30% of the nation’s reserves of this rare element with critical purposes for the medical field, industrial manufacturing, and national security.
The top bidder will own about 425 miles of pipelines spanning Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, as well as around 1 billion cubic feet of the only element on Earth cold enough to make an MRI machine operate.
NBC News reports that, “Regulatory and logistical issues with the facility threaten a temporary shutdown as it passes from public to private ownership, and hospital supply chain experts worry the sale could have serious consequences for health care down the road — especially when it comes to MRIs.”
“The sale of the government’s stockpile of the nonrenewable element could exacerbate an existing supply shortage,” medical industry expert Soumi Saha told NBC News.
Indeed, Helium is vital not only to the medical field for use in MRIs, but it has critical use for cryogenics, semiconductors, superconductors, and rocket technology.
The Impact of Selling the Federal Helium Reserve from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2000) discusses “The Impact of Selling the Federal Helium Reserve.” https://doi.org/10.17226/9860.
CRYOGENICS
“The largest current use of helium is for cryogenics. The amount of helium used for cryogenics was about 620 million scf (17 million scm) in 1996. The main cryogenic applications to be discussed in this section are magnetic resonance imaging, semiconductor processing, and large-scale and small-scale fundamental research that requires helium temperatures.”
MRI
“The main medical use of liquid helium is for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. Liquid helium is needed as a refrigerant for the superconducting magnets that are critical components in many of these devices. The availability of helium at a favorable price and the stability of the helium market have contributed to the rapid growth of MRI as a diagnostic tool and have allowed it to make a significant contribution to health care in the United States.”
SEMICONDUCTORS
“Silicon wafer suppliers are the primary users of helium in the semiconductor industry… activities in the industry that use helium are plasma etching and vacuum pumping…”
“[I]t is very important to this key industry. An increase in the price of helium could be accommodated, but if helium were to disappear altogether, semiconductor processing would be severely hampered.”
ROCKET PROPULSION SYSTEMS
“Helium plays a unique and critical role in the pressurizing and purging of primary rocket propulsion systems. It will continue to do so as long as the propellant is a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. First, helium gas is used to pressurize the propellant tanks for the engines. In this application, pressure is provided to prevent pump cavitation and must be sufficient to keep the tanks from collapsing under vehicle-imposed structural loads. Pressure-fed propulsion systems are also used to provide engine-chamber pressurization. Second, helium gas is used for the purging of the propellant feed systems for liquid-hydrogen engines. Helium is used because its normal boiling point is lower than that of hydrogen. Thus it is the only element that can be used without compromising propellant integrity or feed-system function. Other gases would freeze, producing particles that could clog equipment and seize an engine, or react with or dissolve in the liquid hydrogen, reducing engine efficiency, all with potentially disastrous results.”
Thus, the Biden administration by selling off its Federal Helium Stockpile is undermining U.S. industrial manufacturing vital to National Security and the medical field.
As a political backdrop, the Biden action targets Texas, which is currently locked in a standoff with the federal government over border security.
On Friday, the Biden administration announced that it is considering a freeze on Liquefied Natural Gas exports, which would seriously damage the U.S. economy, and most severely, Texas’ economy.
The Pfizer Protect-O-Heart scheme I think is deeper than you propose. The idea that they would profit from the heart damage they already inflicted with their covid vaccine may actually be the last chance to profit from it, because I would say that the heart regimen is going to be a lot like remdesivir or other fatal treatments for many people.
Keep in mind that people who fear heart damage from COVID shots probably already harbor actual and imagined heart disease, so a fatal outcome would not be unexpected. It could finally be the kill shot everyone with any sense has feared.
It’s hard to believe that Pfizer, a huge donor to the Democrat party, continues to market COVID vaccines through simpletons like Travis Kelce, him smirking at the camera after getting more shots. The matter of these mRNA vaccines that were foisted on an unsuspecting public is bad enough, but to continue to double down, especially through popular athletes, is simply evil.
