  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. In his 1835 book Democracy in America, the French writer
    Alexis de Tocqueville imagined a future America
    in which our voluntary associations had died:

    “I see an innumerable crowd of like and equal men….
    Each of them, withdrawn and apart, is like a stranger
    to the destiny of all the others; his children and his
    particular friends form the whole human species for him;

    as for dwelling with his fellow citizens, he is
    beside them, but he does not see them;
    he touches them and does not feel them;
    he exists only in himself and for himself alone.
    …
    “Above these an immense tutelary power is elevated,
    which alone takes charge of assuring their enjoyments
    and watching over their fate.
    It is absolute, detailed, regular, far-seeing, and mild.

    “It would resemble paternal power if, like that,
    it had for its object to prepare men for manhood;
    but on the contrary, it seeks only to keep them
    fixed irrevocably in childhood….

    “Thus…the sovereign extends its arms over society
    as a whole; it covers its surface with a network
    of small, complicated, painstaking, uniform rules
    through which the most original minds and
    the most vigorous souls cannot clear a way
    to surpass the crowd;

    “It does not break wills, but it softens them,
    bends them, and directs them; it rarely forces
    one to act, but it constantly opposes itself to one’s acting;
    it does not destroy, it prevents things from being born;
    it does not tyrannize, it hinders, compromises, enervates,
    extinguishes, dazes, and finally reduces each nation
    to being nothing more than a herd
    of timid and industrious animals
    of which government is the shepherd.”

  5. There are no such thing as “war crimes.” The very nature of war is that all rules are off.

  6. When I want the government responsible for the genocide of Afrikaner farmers to lecture me on genocide, I’ll let them know. Hamas leaders live in Qatar off the billions they’ve stolen from international aid. They are so much worse than Israel that I can’t believe anyone sticks up for them.
