Technology Aims to Enslave Us

Americans are losing their country and freedoms incrementally. Things are melting down while they are lulled into a false sense of security with the help of technology. They are content if there is food in the pantry, gas in the car, and plenty of sports on the blue screens.

It started with the scare of global warming. Fear mongering has convinced society at large that our planet is in peril and, to save it, we must reduce the levels of CO2 drastically if we expect to survive. When the dire predictions from various billionaires, their paid talking heads and activists did not pan out, the globalists changed their tune. Global warming turned into a very profitable climate change industry.

Climate change activism and fear of planetary Armageddon brought more EPA regulations, fines, and directives from the unelected bureaucrats at the U.N. who met yearly in opulent locations, traveling in the much-maligned fossil fuel cars and flying in private or commercial jets, while telling us to drive tin cans or bicycle to work.

Then they introduced solar panels and wind turbines to create inefficient and insufficient electricity; then 15-minute cities were created to isolate humanity in large clusters of high-rise living spaces with the convenience of being five minutes’ walk from everything and no parking garages for cars.

If you own a car, you are given one hundred times a year to enter and exit through approved gates, after which you are fined for using your car too much. The idea of such 15-minute cities brings back memories of living under communism and of the poor Chinese locked up in their high-rise apartments during the forced lockdowns in China in 2021, sick, without food and medical treatment, and without any possibility of escape.

Then expensive electric cars were introduced to replace the “evil” fuel combustion vehicles. The problem is that electric vehicles are not dependable for long distance driving and for freezing weather and are still quite expensive for ordinary Americans who work for a living.

Finally Artificial Intelligence (AI) arrived and the push for its exclusive use to replace humanity and the push for digital currency while humanity is promised a living wage for which they do not have to work (how attractive), they can just stay home, easy to control, and AI will do the work for them. What could possibly go wrong?

“As AI systems become more advanced, they will start to infiltrate various sectors, beginning with white-collar jobs and eventually expanding to blue-collar industries… This shift could lead to a situation where businesses simply do not need human employees to maintain and increase profits… One widely discussed solution to the potential job displacement caused by AI is Universal Basic Income. This concept involves providing all citizens with a regular, unconditional sum of money to ensure they can meet their basic needs, regardless of their employment status … the primary means of earning a living is no longer necessary for many.”

The problem with total technology is that it created a “technocracy” of corporations and governments with the aim to control everything and everyone with digital ID systems whereby corporations and governments would have the extraordinary power to “track, monitor, and control every aspect of our lives” – healthcare, money, wealth, travel, transportation, education, work, and social interactions.

Bill Gates, one of the evil forces behind forced vaccinations, digital currency, and AI said, “Digital ID must be accepted by U.S. citizens by 2028. Otherwise, they risk exclusion from society.” His outrageous statement should give pause to every freedom-loving American.

Digital currency, once fully implemented, will monitor what you spend your money on, how much you can spend, tax all your earnings, punish you with the Chinese Social Credit Score if they deem that you did not behave appropriately to their liking; banks and the government will close your account and confiscate your money at the whim of a bureaucrat or an AI program.

The main drive right now is the establishment of data centers everywhere; without them, the AI cannot operate fully as intended. Each data center needs at least ten acres of land, and lots of water and electricity. The leftist solutions to replace fossil fuels and electricity generation from coal? Invest in more “renewable energy” of wind and solar. Shortages and higher costs of water and electricity are soon to follow. Processors for AI consume a lot of energy and water.

How will your life be different from feudal slavery or communist slavery? You will have no control over your life at all. Corporations will dictate what you can eat, think, do, read, what products can be made, how much food you can have, your clothing, housing, medicine, travel, etc. Life will be sad, no hope, no freedom of choice, no creativity, no dreams, no future.

President Trump’s AI advisors and digital currency technocrats have convinced him that AI and digital currency are the answer for everything. However, without confidential information kept private, a cash money supply, and inviolable private property, there is no freedom.

 

 

Ignaz Semmelweis and the Fools’ Tower

Before the germ theory of medicine, there was a Hungarian doctor, Ignaz Semmelweis, who practiced medicine at the Vienna General Hospital in the 1840s.

Semmelweis noticed, after an anatomy professor who was dissecting a cadaver for his students and cut himself with the scalpel, resulting in a severe infection (sepsis) which eventually claimed his life, that many doctors who practiced surgery on cadavers, were going afterwards to treat women in the hospital’s maternity ward.

After researching and comparing the death rate of women from child bed fever in the maternity ward with the death rate of women who were having their babies at home, he discovered that women giving birth in the hospital were dying at a much higher rate than those delivering at home. Guessing that there must have been some invisible infectious agent, he recommended that doctors wash their hands in chloride of lime. Following this advice and practice, the death rate of women giving birth in the hospital maternity ward went down to almost zero.

Semmelweis did an actual study and published it, but it was not well received at all. Instead of praising him, the international medical community at the time considered him a lunatic, denounced him as deranged, and decided to silence him.

European academia convinced a court in Vienna to declare him mentally insane when he did not stop teaching his medical students to wash their hands in chlorinated lime.

Semmelweis was shocked that eminent doctors, who knew he was right, would rather condemn women to death rather than admit that they were wrong. 

These eminent doctors, with the help of the Vienna court, condemned him to a mental asylum in Vienna, the Narrenturm (Fools tower), where he died years later. In a strange turn of events, a guard at the insane asylum struck him with an object, not sure if it was sharp or blunt, he got an infection and it resulted in his death.

Interestingly, Narrenturm still exists today. It is the oldest building in continental Europe for psychiatric patients. Built in 1784, it is located near the site of the old Vienna General Hospital. The circular building is now the location of the Federal Pathologic-Anatomical Museum of Vienna.

Millions of people since then have been saved because of Dr. Semmelweis’ discovery, a doctor who was humiliated and punished by his colleagues at European universities because he was right and they were wrong; they wanted to save their academic reputation and earnings. They did not care that they destroyed his career and his life. Even his wife left him.

He was eventually vindicated thirty years later with the advent of Robert Koch’s discovery of the TB bacillus, anthrax, and cholera, specific bacteria at the root of those infectious diseases.

Silencing Semmelweis was a sad chapter in the history of medicine, not unlike what happened to some doctors in the U.S. who refused to subject their patients to Covid-19 vaccines and instead treated them with drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin when they came down with Covid-19. The cure rate for such patients was astonishing, yet the medical profession and the press were laughing at them that they were using “horse paste” to treat the sick. These doctors were vilified, shamed, marginalized, turned into pariahs, their licenses were suspended, lost their hospital privileges, jobs, and professorships for which they had worked hard to achieve.

 

 

 

Latins

Terracina is an ancient Italian city and seaside resort in the province of Latina, Lazio, located between Rome and Naples on the Tyrrhenian coast, known for its beaches, Roman ruins like the Temple of Jupiter Anxur, and its historic connection to the Via Appia.

The bogus terms that the left has invented, designating Hispanics from South America as Latino, Latins, Latinx, does not bear resemblance to any historical ties to Rome and the Roman Empire, the only people who can call themselves Latin(s).

"Euro Trash"

 

In the early 1980s, many Americans in the southern town where we lived called us “Euro trash.” It was their way of telling us that we did not belong among them and we were thus not very welcome.

We were educated Christian white women who escaped communism and wanted to make a free life for ourselves and our children and grandchildren. We were contributing to society and, once we became naturalized citizens, we proudly flew the American flag and celebrated its culture and traditions.

The rejection did not stop with us; it eventually included our children and grandchildren. There were few American children who were allowed to play and associate with our children. Usually, military children became friends with my children – their parents were better traveled and open-minded to the cosmopolitan nature of America.

My children were embarrassed when their mom and grandma spoke another language and we were watched and followed in public like pariahs. They begged us not to speak in public and, if we did, to speak in hushed tones. At the time, they seldom told other people that they also spoke well another language in addition to English.

We learned to cope with the overt rejection of us as “foreigners” and “Euro trash.” After all, we were told, time and time again, Americans could not include us in their lives because “they could not accept just anybody off the streets” and “you had to be seven generations removed in America in order to be considered an American.” Even to this day, I have been told that I am not American because I am naturalized and was born elsewhere, therefore papers stating so do not count.

My children grew into wonderful human beings and Americans, well-educated and productive members of society.

I often wondered what these same Americans think today when they are being overtly conquered and their culture changed day by day, forty-five years later by third world, mostly uneducated and unvetted illegals, Christians and non-Christians, who have been allowed to invade towns all-over small-town America and are now on the welfare rolls?

The Protesting from the Left

The left picks and chooses randomly who or what they are protesting or boycotting on any given day. Nothing makes sense as the protesters are useful idiots who protest for a wage.

The leftist pawns block the stores, shouting against Trump deleting DEI policies, calling out those who are pro-Israel and companies that support and sell Israeli products, and protesting those who co-operate with ICE such as Target.

While calling everyone they are told to disagree with fascists, the protesters inconvenience and harass minimum wage employees and customers who shop daily for food and necessities in places like Washington, D.C.

The leftist alphabet soup causes make little sense to the average American. One day they protest for gay people, another day they protest in support of Palestine where they kill gay people, another day they protest for women’s rights, and yet another day they protest the deportation of criminal aliens who rape and kill women.

And the following day, paid protesters, carrying identical, nicely printed signs, shout, and protest in support of illegals and Islamists. They consider these “refugees” equally protected under our U.S. laws and the U.S. Constitution, even though they are not American citizens nor admitted here lawfully. They were spread around the country in the most conservative locales in the dead of night, under the Obama and Biden administrations.

The problems that the Obama and Biden refugees create are self-evident in the state of Minnesota where the Somali population has reached critical mass.

Somalis are here allegedly for “freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press, equal protection under the law,” but their stated goal is Sharia Law in the enclaves that they built for themselves. They want Little Somalia with Sharia Law where they will outlaw freedom of religion, speech, and press. If anyone insults Islam, they receive the death penalty.

People forget that Egypt used to be Christian for six centuries and that all north Africa used to be Christian until they were conquered by Islam.

Seventy thousand Muslims invaded Spain in 711 A.D. under the command of Gen. Tariq at a mountain, Jabal in Arabic, (hence the name Gibraltar today) and it took Christians a long time to get rid of the invaders.

Muslims conquered one kingdom at a time and there was little resistance – so Christian kingdom after Christian kingdom fell prey to the Muslims invaders.

They were finally stopped in 732 A.D. outside Paris at the battle of Tours, one hundred years after the death of Mohammed in 632 A.D.

According to the New World Encyclopedia, the Ottoman Empire (Türkiye of today) waged wars in Europe for three hundred years, including areas of Hungary, Poland, and Greece.

The Romanian Principalities were a buffer zone between the Ottoman Empire and Western Europe. Starting in the 1400s with Vlad Tepes, the Romanian principalities fought the Ottomans for five hundred years.

A hero to the Romanian people to this day, Prince Vlad was born around 1430 and, as a boy, was held hostage by the Turks in a fortress called Egrigoz (“Crooked Eyes”). The violence and savagery encountered taught Prince Vlad survival.

As an adult he disposed of Turkish prisoners and his adversaries in the most gruesome way, by impaling them with a metal stake. His nickname became Vlad the Impaler.

When Turkish emissaries failed to remove their fezes in his presence, Vlad had them nailed to their heads. In his short reign of 10 years, Vlad had put to death at least 50,000 people. He was allegedly killed in 1476, but we do not have a historical account of what happened, only an empty tomb.

It is historically accurate to say that he saved Christian Europe from Islamic conquests and he supported peasants against the ruthless boyars (feudal lords of Eastern Europe); he restored order in a principality torn by civil strife and constant invasions by the Ottoman empire demanding heavy tribute in gold.

It was thus surprising when Western Europe began importing Muslims in the 21^st century from the Middle East and Africa, Muslims who built enclaves in large cities across Europe; areas became quickly no-go zones for the local population.

These military age Muslims became wards of the welfare system and brought in their wives, children, and extended families who were also added to the welfare rolls.

They made no efforts to become contributing members of society, while making constant demands and complaints which were addressed by politicians and the law to the detriment of the locals who were discouraged to protest or verbalize their complaints by the fear of imprisonment. Rapes were unpunished and swept under the rugs of justice.

This self-destruction of western society has unfortunately spread across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States and Americans, just like Europeans, are allowing their society to destroy itself from within. Islamists, who have made their way to our shores with the help of the Obama and Biden administrations, use our tolerance and the legal system against us, winning places in society and in politics that are off limits to Americans.

The red-green axis of power (communists, climate lunatics, fascists, and Islam) is becoming stronger. Americans are doing nothing to defend their culture, their country, and their civilization. On the contrary, the young generations protesting for hire in support of criminals and of Islamists, are aiding and abetting the destruction of their own civilization and future.

 

Our Lives and "The Lives of Others"

“Das Leben des Anderen” is a 2006 German drama that describes in painful detail what life was like in the communist East Berlin of 1984, almost six years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, how ordinary and not so ordinary citizens were spied upon by their government, using agents of the infamous Stasi, the German Democratic Republic’s secret police. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3_iLOp6IhM

The movie is not important because it showed how a famous actress was spied upon, her life, trials, and tribulations and the spying minions who answered to the Kommunistische Partei (Communist Party). It is important because it shows the drab and meager daily life of fear, uncertainty, and horror that people in general endured under communist regimes.

Like the actress in the movie, homes were bugged; all telephone conversations were recorded and listened to. All incoming and outgoing mail was opened, read, and copied by small bureaucrats whose job was to report anything out of the ordinary and catalog their daily blogs.

The secret police did not have sophisticated wireless technology to spy on citizens like we have today. They also did not seek nor need warrants to record everything people did or said in their homes, cars, on the phone, social media sites, or by email. They had the oppressive power of government on their side and technology was not advanced to the level that it is today.

There are so many ways now to cheat and steal personal and corporate information online and on the Dark Web that ethical hacking, penetration testing, and cybersecurity expertise have become real job descriptions.

Computer experts, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, have infiltrated the dark web globally to expose child predators and human trafficking by capturing live podcasts of predators. This is the positive side of online hacking.

It is not just the utility companies scanning our homes via smart meters for presumably just water, electricity, and gas consumption patterns; other companies and individuals invade our privacy via wireless devices, listening and watching everything we do and say, without a judicial warrant; we are being scanned from every direction 24/7.

Companies listen to our phones and bombard us minutes later with ads for products and drugs we discussed privately on the phone or searched online.

Thanks to social media, no informers must be hired to spy on us, we volunteer information daily. The huge databases that our government and private agencies are building on us would be the envy of the Stasi and of any former communist dictator’s spying soldiers and primitive machines. Without advanced technology, the Stasi was quite successful in keeping their population under control.

People under communism were asked to divulge to the Financial Police (that would be the equivalent of the IRS) what they owned, how much money they had hidden in the house, how they purchased certain goods, and why they ate sometimes better food than what was available on the market. Community organizers, not unlike ACORN, patrolled the streets. In exchange for better rations of food or a small monthly stipend, individuals were assigned per block of apartments to record the comings and goings into each apartment.

GPS tracking in our smart phones, cars, boats, appliances, cable TV, cameras, social sites, credit card purchases, streaming, online purchases, flights, and shopping enable faceless individuals to track us and our lives daily, information that is stored in all the AI data centers now mushrooming all over the country. Once all cash is replaced with digital currency, governments will be able to control us, reward, and punish us, from birth to death.

Satellites can take pictures with extreme accuracy. Drones can spy in your bedroom as you sleep. Smart meters relay information to the mother ship about your gas, electricity, water consumption, your appliances, whether you are home, if you are using medical devices, and sports equipment. Appliances can talk to the grocery store and place food orders for you. The utilities companies can turn off your electricity, water, A/C, and gas whether you want it turned off or not.

Content usage is monitored and access blocked or allowed based on politics. Leftist business owners firewall sites that contradict their views. YouTube takes down videos that offend liberals, thus stifling freedom of speech. Academia censors conservative professors by denying them tenure.

Facebook has censored conservative users, writers, and content developers for years. Publishers often turn down good conservative writers. MSM promotes political correctness and liberal views.

No matter where you turn, agents and technology are watching you - they are empowered by non-elected government bureaucrats and corporatists to spy on the “lives of others.”

 

The Black Plague and Pandemics

Everyone has heard of the ten plagues of Egypt from the Book of Exodus – blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and first-born. Then there were the waves of the Black Death, the plague that encompassed most of Europe and it changed the face of Europe forever.

Albrecht Durer depicted the awfulness of the Black Death in one of his black ink etchings, bringing attention to the repenting frenzy of the strange penitents known as the Brotherhood of Flagellants.

The order included both men and women. They believed that, if they whipped themselves to bleeding or allowed a Master of Pilgrimage to do the whipping, ripping their flesh with a scourge of leather thongs and pointed metal studs, then the plague would be lifted. The penitents endured this horror for thirty-three and a half days during which time they were not allowed to clean or treat their wounds. They had hoped to appease God in this manner. Thankfully, Pope Clement VI outlawed this strange sect in October 1349.

To the people of fourteenth century Europe, the plagues were God’s punishment for their sins. Twenty-five million Europeans died within four years, 1347-1351. They believed that self-punished might appease God to relent this scourge.

Nobody understood that plague bacteria were carried in the fur of black rats and spread by flea bites and from bodily fluids of infected humans. The bacillus Pasteurella pestis lives in the bloodstream or the stomach of a flea. The fleas’ favorite rodent for residence is Rattus rattus, the black rat.

Trade caravans from Central Asia, where the plague was endemic, carried the plague to China then to Crimea, and then by ship to the Mediterranean coast via trade routes and finally across Europe. It was believed that the rats fled from droughts or floods to China.

Not many Europeans were spared. Isolation, segregation, and heat worked to stop the infection and its spread.

The Archbishop of Milan ordered the first three houses where the bubonic plague was walled in with all the sick, dead, and healthy entombed within. The city was spared and nobody else got sick.

In his Decameron, the author Giovanni Boccaccio described the isolation of ten young patricians in a palazzo to avoid contact with people in plague-stricken Florence. They kept themselves entertained by telling stories as written in the Decameron. Segregation worked for them and for the area of present-day Poland which was spared the plague because a quarantine was imposed. Quarantine was isolation for forty days.

Pope Clement VI isolated himself at Avignon, France. He sat for weeks in summertime between two large fires constantly stoked. It worked because fire and heat repelled the fleas.

An English nobleman ordered the nearby village to be burned to the ground. No fleas, rats, or disease reached his castle, and his property was safe. It seemed that overpopulation and overcrowding in unsanitary conditions contributed to the spread of the plagues.

The plagues came in three forms, bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic.

The bubonic variety appeared as swollen lymph nodes called buboes or boils in the armpits, groin, or the site of the flea bite.

The pneumonic variety infected the lungs, causing coughing and spitting of blood.

The deadliest was the septicemic plague where the bloodstream was invaded by bacteria and death occurred within hours.

Not everybody died of the plague. Many improved and their recovery was considered a miracle. Doctors prescribed bleeding, laxatives, enemas, burning of the buboes (sometimes it worked), aromatic woods burned to purify the air, rosewater and vinegar sprinkled on floors, special diets, and other strange concoctions.

The Black Death encompassed most of present-day Europe, all the way to Russia and the Black Sea, Constantinople, and Greece.

Following the loss of such a huge European population, the labor market changed; workers could ask for higher wages. Merchants had to sell grain and other commodities for lower prices.

As the population began to increase after the Black Death ended, new waves of plagues occurred centuries later. The epidemic of 1665 in London affected the population less as doctors learned better ways to control it. Still, thousands died. The 17^th century solution was to kill cats and dogs, the poor creatures that could have reduced the rat population carrying the fleas.

One of the famous plagues that hit the Roman Empire hard, the Antonine Plague, put an end to Pax Romana, according to Colin Elliott. Pax Romana represented two centuries of Roman domination of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia.

Millions died in the Empire, the population decline was so severe that a financial crisis followed, and borders were weakened. The 165 A.D. plague even killed one of the emperors. The pandemic lasted until 180 A.D., affecting the entire Empire. Marcus Aurelius could not save the Empire from pestilence, nor from the many other disasters of that time.

Interestingly, Marcus Aurelius only mentioned the Antonine plague once in all his twelve books of Meditations.

The second outbreak occurred in 251-266 A.D. which aggravated the effects of the earlier outbreak. Some historians are convinced that these plagues were the beginning of the ultimate fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D. The pandemic was a huge source of social, economic, and political disruption within the Roman Empire.

Galen described the symptoms of this pandemic. Some of the symptoms resembled smallpox and others appeared like the buboes of the plague.

As we have experienced, even with modern medicine and aggressive government intervention, the world suffered immensely from the Covid-19 pandemic.
