Consciousness – Can A Computer Come Alive?


Posted originally on Oct 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Federico Faggin is a physicist and inventor of the microprocessor & touch screen. He, too, explains how he attempted to create a neural net back in the 1980s and came to the realization that no matter what the movies portray, there is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence that would be Consciousness. As I have said, I created Socrates in the late 1970s and used my children as test subjects to interact with it and have a conversation. My daughter would bring her friends over and tell them her computer talked to her. I caused a bit of a stir among other parents, who asked me what I was doing.

I wrote a program to interact with my children and taught Socrates how to be a politician. You could have a conversation with it but if it did not understand, it would just change the subject. I mimicked Consciousness, but I could not create it. It would just record answers like ChatGPT. What is the name of your dog? When my daughter would return to the computer, it would simply ask how is your dog by name. From the outside, you thought it was alive. One day, she came home, and I had it apart, and she started crying, thinking I killed it.

Federico discusses that he came to the same conclusion. It is absolutely impossible to create an AI system that will suddenly come alive and achieve Consciousness.

No matter what we do, no robot will ever come alive – It is not going to happen!

Brazil’s War on Free Speech

Brazil Global Government Affairs

Brazil’s Supreme Court lifted the ban on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the platform paid out $5.2 million in fines for spreading disinformation. Brazil’s sudden ban on the social media platform should act as a warning to the rest of the world that governments are prepared and ready to silence the freedom of speech without a second’s notice.

Justice de Moraes was particularly concerned that X CEO Elon Musk was hesitant to ban accounts deemed offensive by Brazilian authorities. He attempted to freeze all of Elon Musk’s businesses in Brazil from X to SpaceX. Musk closed X’s Brazilian office in response, and accused Justice de Moraes of being a “criminal of worst kind masquer as a judge,” for attempting to stifle free speech.

Musk said that he would use SpaceX to provide free internet service to all Brazilians impacted by the ban. In response, the Brazilian government froze all of Starlink’s finances. The government even considered confiscating those frozen funds and using them to pay X’s fines. So even a man as powerful as Elon Musk who has both the ability to provide internet AND a free social media platform was banished by government.

Why not use a VPN? Well, the government was willing to bankrupt anyone who attempted to access the website by threatening them with a $9,000 DAILY fine. Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency forced Apply and Google to prevent Android and iOS users from accessing X.

Now, Brazilians compose the sixth-largest market for X with over 21.5 million users. Losing Brazil was a huge loss for the platform. Musk eventually agreed to pay $5.2 million in fines to Brazilian government and will begin to block individual accounts – he was forced to cave.

Governments will “lose control” is free speech on social media is permitted, as Hillary Clinton said. This is a global phenomenon and every platform has been infiltrated by governments. Expect authorities to continue asking for more control over these platforms as they cannot risk the people questioning the mainstream media’s narrative.

Sunday Talks – JD Vance vs Martha Raddatz: “Do you hear yourself talk, Martha?”

In a very revealing ABC This Week interview Sunday, ABC host Martha Raddatz attempted to carry water for the Biden/Harris administration, when she said, “only a few apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs” in Aurora, Colorado.  JD Vance began his rebuttal by saying, “do you hear yourself talk, Martha?”….  The exchange quickly went downhill from there as Martha realized she just stepped on a rake.  WATCH:

FCC Fast-Tracks Soros’ Purchase of Second-Largest Radio Conglomerate

Coincidence?

The three voting Democrats on the FCC board overpowered the two dissenting Republicans. Law dictates that foreign companies may not own more than 25% of US radio stations. They are not only making an exception for George Soros but helping him to bypass the law.

It typically takes a year for the FCC to conduct a national security review if not longer. This is the first time that the commission is blindly ignoring this regulation and permitting Soros to control the majority of US radio airways.

Some claim that the FCC was permitted to act in this manner due to Audacy falling into bankruptcy. Commissioner Nathan Simington explained to Fox News why this is untrue: “Commission leadership tried to approve the item at the staff level, with nothing but a 48-hour notice to Commissioners on a summer Friday. There is almost no factual record on the item because there was almost no attempt to do a real public interest analysis,” Simington continued. “Not a single Commissioner outside of the Chairwoman was invited to even think about the issue until staff was directed to handle it on our behalf without our votes. That’s the true ‘fast-track.’”

This will permit Harris and Walz to carry out their mass censorship goals seamlessly. The radio stations are a mere fraction of the media that Soros owns, but the FCC-backing shows that corruption comes from the top. Harris has repeatedly questioned the validity of the First Amendment by demanding that all dissenters be silenced. We saw Walz drunk with power during COVID lockdowns when he set up a hotline to ask neighbors to report one another. There has never been a strong big government, pro-censorship duo on the US ballots. They both believe “misinformation” is a larger threat to the public than the failing economy, energy crisis, war — the list goes on. They need utter submission from the public, which will begin by removing our access to information or varying opinions.

George Soros will own the second-largest radio group in the nation. George Soros and his son Alex have said that their main focus was preventing a Trump victory. The FCC has become an establishment tool of propaganda that is actively working to silent conservative voices while pushing out the false narratives created by those on the left.

Fake News is a Crime – Caught Red-Handed


Posted originally on Sep 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

Fake News Headline

EThe Media is Guilty of Mail and Wire Fraud 18 U.S.C. § 1341, 1343

This crime occurs when someone uses the postal service or makes a wire, radio, or television communication that crosses state lines to commit fraud upon another or to obtain money or property under false pretenses. Here, the fraud is misstating facts to compel people to vote in a certain way, and the news organization is monetarily benefiting from such an outcome. In securities, handing someone any gift in return for business is a crime.

While not all misrepresentations are fraud almost all fraud includes misrepresentation.

The goal of a fraudulent act is to trick or mislead an innocent person into thinking that something has a certain value (or is worthless) and which the perpetrator knows is false. While the term is defined very broadly, all fraud offenses include misrepresentation, deception, and/or false statements. Federal and state statutes cover a wide variety of different fraud charges and punishments. Where are the Federal Prosecutors when you need them?

Criminal fraud generally requires the existence of at least two elements – (1) the defendant’s intent to commit the crime, and (2) that the criminal act of fraud was actually committed by the defendant. Additional elements may be required. For example, to constitute federal wire or mail wire fraud, the criminal act must also involve an interstate transmission or communication using a wire or the postal service. Mainstream media is guilty of this crime, and they are doing it for political gain.

From: Sir Doge of the Coin

This clearly shows DELIBERATE misrepresentation for political gain, that anyone in the financial industry would be indicted and face 20 years in prison. Until we start prosecuting these crimes, we will NEVER be able to trust the media or stop the decline and fall of our country. They have so divided the country that this election may be our last, and the violence and death that is likely in the aftermath of this reporting here in 2024 is destroying our very existence.

It is time to Criminally Charge Journalists for Manipulating Society for Personal Gain

Professional Political Gaslighting from the White House Press Secretary


Posted originally on the CTH on September 18, 2024 | Sundance

This short video segment highlights exactly what professional gaslighting looks like.   The White House staff, Joe Biden and the White House press secretary have repeatedly called President Trump “a threat to democracy.”  And now, following the second assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, the White House press secretary is appalled that anyone would say their rhetoric and calling President Trump a “threat” was any form of incitement.

In fact, asking the White House about their own language choices is akin to attacking them.  Within the clip the Press Secretary immediately claims victim status, and then decries the effort to ask her questions about her statements.  WATCH:
