This is the type of AI that all leading experts have warned us about. German defense firm Helsing has announced it will provide Ukraine with 4,000 HX-2 “Karma” kamikaze drones this month. Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he had been “very pleased that the delivery of these drones equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) technology is already underway.”
With a top speed of 137 mph, these drones are capable of traveling up to 62 miles and can be loaded with various warheads for maximum destruction against armored vehicles, buildings, or platoons. The company states that these drones do not need a human operator, rather, they will be programmed to “search for, re-identify, and engage targets, even without a signal or a continuous data connection.” A human operator may “stay in the loop,” per the company’s messaging, but these weapons are designed to act autonomously.
“With HX-2, we have created a new smart effector that combines mass, autonomy and precision. Individual HX-2s can reliably engage armored targets in highly contested environments. When deployed along borders at scale, HX-2 can serve as a powerful counter invasion shield against enemy land forces,” Helsing’s co-founder Niklas Köhler stated. The other co-founder, Gundbert Scherf, said that NATO in particular has been eager for this technology. On one hand, the company says that these drones will retain human oversight, but on the other hand, the entire purpose of their design is to be autonomous.
Earlier prototypes have been used against Russian troops earlier this year. I believe there was a “Black Mirror” episode about this scenario. What happens when we have mass killing machines from both sides acting independently or without the need for human operators? Will nations take responsibility when these drones attack innocent civilians? Ironically, the company states that their vision is to “ethically protect common democratic values.”

The nursing home for retired neocons, also known as NATO, continually disregards any offers for peace. Russia has been adamant that NATO must not back it into a corner or the situation could go nuclear. Yet, NATO has revealed plans to build another factory close to Russia’s border.
German-based Rheinmetall has partnered with NATO to build anartillery ammunition plant in Baisogala, Lithuania. The facility will be able to produce “tens of thousands of 155mm” artillery shells annually, according to Rheinmetall. The 180 million euro facility will open by the middle of 2026. These shells weigh around 100 pounds each and are two feet in length and NATO members have already provided Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of rounds. The United States alone has plans to generate 100,000 shells monthly and over 1 million annually, but only produced a few thousand annually prior to the war. This new facility will allow NATO to replenish stockpiles as the war wages on for years to come.
NATO claims that the strategic location would deter Russia from invading the Baltic States or attempting to cut them off from Poland through the Suwa ki Gap, a 60-mile stretch of land on the Poland-Lithuania border, located amid Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad. Kaliningrad has been completely encircled by NATO since Sweden and Finland joined the bloc.
“The establishment of the German defense industry company Rheinmetall’s ammunition factory in Lithuania is not only significant in the context of the defense industry’s development but will also address the needs of our armed forces,” said Lithuanian Minister of Defense Laurynas Kas i nas.
Belarus and Russia held joint exercises near the Suwalki Gap in 2022. Russia has been increasing its military presence in Kaliningrad over the years and believes it is on the defensive against NATO. The necons do not want peace with Russia. They are actively building facilities to instigate tensions and relay the message that their war will not end until they seize Russia – a goal that will fail.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law” on Tuesday without providing clear reasoning. Sources say that Yoon fears impeachment from the opposition party and this declaration is merely a way for him to buy time. “To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements… I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon announced. Parliament overturned the measure within three hours.
What happened was absolute pandemonium. One member of Parliament live-streamed himself climbing over the gates of parliament with the military behind him to cast his vote. Every member of parliament voted against the president’s actions, but Yoon is not going down without a fight. The police and military did not know how to respond after parliament overturned the measure. Parliament was forced to barricade themselves in the building until martial law was lifted. World leaders, the US in particular, frantically contacted Seoul to say they had no warning. Naturally, Korean stocks took a dive as confidence was violently shaken. Yoon was worried about impeachment before this spectacle, but how could he remain in power now?
Martial law would have prevented an immediate impeachment, or at least that is what Yoon had hoped. Under martial law, the National Assembly is severely limited, and it would be difficult to hold impeachment proceedings. Civil liberties were stripped from the people, who were unable to protest or organize to call for an impeachment. Yoon could have used the military to prevent any dissent. He has already painted his opposition, who hold a majority in parliament, as pro-North Korean communists intent on destroying the nation.
The people of South Korea were caught off guard by the emergency declaration. Still, the president insisted it was necessary to protect the people, rather than himself, from a fair democracy. Yoon went as far as accusing the National Assembly as “a haven for criminals, a den of legislative dictatorship that seeks to paralyze the judicial and administrative systems and overturn our liberal democratic order.” Yoon is also enraged at recent budget cuts, which he believes will turn South Korea into “a drug haven and a state of public safety chaos.”
Yoon has used every trick in the book. He has declared that he is protecting the people when in fact he is protecting himself. Only Yoon is attempting to silence the democratic process by behaving like a dictator. The people do not want this man in power. Gallup Korea conducted a poll last month that found 72% disapproved of the president, with only 19% in support. He has rarely received a favorability rating of over 30% due his countless scandals and corrupt image. An online petition gained 811,000 signatures to have the president removed immediately. Yoon has not been officially impeached, nor has it been formally discussed, yet many believe this sudden declaration of martial law is directly related.
Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung believed a coop was inevitable before martial law was lifted. “Tanks, armored personnel carriers, and soldiers with guns and knives will rule the country,” he warned. “The economy of the Republic of Korea will collapse irretrievably.” Hours later, Lee was frantically making public statements to urge the military to retreat, claiming they would be labeled accomplices. “To the police and the members of the armed forces: any orders from the president stemming from this illegal martial law declaration are clearly unlawful, as they violate the constitution and the law.”
Was the president of South Korea attempting to overthrow his own elected government? Socrates warned that 2024 would be the political year from hell and much could happen in the next three weeks.
QUESTION: Biden said he would not pardon Hunter, and then he did. Was this not a slap in the face to the Democratic Party that will contribute to its breakup, as you have warned?
JM
ANSWER: It is worse than you think. This could backfire, for it was not a pardon for Hunter as much as it was an intended pardon for Biden himself. This covered all of the Biden Crime Family operations in Ukraine from 2014 onward. By giving Hunter blanket immunity, his son cannot invoke the 5th Amendment and can be compelled to testify against his father. Under American law, children are not privileged and can be forced to testify against a parent. Under Canon Law, which is used in France, for example, the government CANNOT compel any family member to testify against another, including a broker or sister-in-law.
We used English common law based on tyranny—the only privilege recognized in your spouse or clergy. The king must always win. Giving Hunter blanket immunity can backfire, as there is a Republican prosecutor who wants to do to Biden what he did to Trump. Hunter can now be compelled to testify against his father since he cannot be prosecuted. How much of the money you laundered from Ukraine went to the “big guy” at the end of the day? I can’t imagine Biden had any worthwhile lawyer advise him to do this.
Gun charges, drug charges, etc., are one thing. This is a blanket immunity for anything between 2014 and 2024. Biden swore he would not pardon his son and he would abide by the jury’s decision. However, this pardon covers everything and is NOT confined to the jury decision he swore he would honor.
We should compel Hunter to now testify against his father, Hillary, and whoever else was involved. If he commits perjury, that is not covered. He could be held in contempt of court until he testifies. This should demonstrate to the world that the United States still embraces the tyranny of the old English kings. The family unit means nothing in a court of law. The United States has ZERO respect for the family. They craft exceptions they pretend are in the interest of justice, but that is a catchall, for the state must always win no different from the king that we revolted against.
Two types of “marital privileges” exist under the law. When applicable, these privileges can protect a spouse from being forced to testify against the other spouse or divulge confidential communications made between them. However, these privileges are not absolute and come with several exceptions and conditions. Plain and simple, if the state wants your ass, they will get it any way they possibly can. The courts hold it is waived if someone fails to raise a spouse’s privilege.
They will routinely threaten your family to win a case. When they were threatening to indict my children to force me to plead to whatever they claimed in court, the SEC magically always managed to get the same ruthless judge, Richard Owen. When he was taking my lawyers away, he was bragging and joking how he was NEVER overruled when he took all the lawyers away from Steven H. Schiffer, the SEC charged with market manipulation, insider trading, the making of false and misleading statements in Commission filings, or the sale of unregistered securities by six defendants. Judge Oweb tormented this guy and drove him to commit suicide.
Judge Owen had dementia. He sometimes would forget who I was and address me as a counselor: “You are representing your client admirably, but I want this in a brief.” This confused the marshals, who then thought I was the attorney. He was joking about driving Schiffer to suicide. I then looked at him as a loathsome individual. It got so out of hand that the court of appeals finally recused the judge and sent it to another, who then released me.
The number of people the SEC charges will sometimes commit suicide for you cannot win in Federal Court. Even Eric Holtz they drove to suicide. They never charge the big banks because they get 20% of their profits. They call fines, and nobody is personally prosecuted. Dorothy Heyl was the SEC prosecutor in my case. When they threatened my children, I sent her a letter. I stated that since this is how the SEC wins cases threatening people’s families or taking their lawyers away so they commit suicide, I wrote that I would commit suicide to protect my family. However, I promised not to go as quietly as Steven Schiffer. She told everyone to back off. We do not live in a world with any honor or rights – they spell justice – JUST US.
So, welcome to the American Rule of Law. It is as ruthless as that of the king we revolved against. This Pardon for Hunter actually means he can now be put on the witness stand and compelled to testify against his own father. Biden thought the entire purpose of this blanket pardon was to protect his son against corruption in Ukraine, but he can now be forced with contempt to testify against his father. I would love to see that for anyone else; they tear families apart. Why should the Biden Crime Family be the exception?

The transition drama is quite interesting. Where interesting is actually a little funny.
According to “people familiar with the discussions,” President Trump is considering replacing Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, if the Hegseth nomination stalls due to GOPe Senate intransigence.
Wall Street Journal – President-elect Donald Trump is considering Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth, his pick to run the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the discussions, amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.
Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s—and Hegseth’s—view on culling what they see as “woke” policies in the military.
Trump allies increasingly think Hegseth may not survive further scrutiny, according to people close to the president-elect’s team, which considers the next 48 hours to be crucial to his fate.
DeSantis was on an earlier list of potential defense secretary candidates that transition officials presented to the president. Trump ultimately went with Hegseth. But as Hegseth’s nomination has faltered, that list has been revived and DeSantis is again among the choices Trump is considering, the people said.
Trump could decide not to choose DeSantis and select another replacement, if Hegseth’s nomination falls apart, the people said. (read more)

Mike Benz is one of the key voices who explains the U.S. industrial censorship complex, and the Intelligence Community interfaces therein. Benz background knowledge of how the foreign and domestic censorship system was put into place is exceptional.
In this interview, Joe Rogan asks a few pertinent questions, but the majority of the discussion is Mike Benz outlining the history of the U.S. government internet control mechanisms, and the various agencies and institutions created to carry it out. WATCH:
Don’t let the Technocrats be the only ones benefitting.
.
This is transparently predictable.
Palantir benefits from DOGE. That’s the financial mechanism to enhance the portfolio of the Technocrats.
Palantir provides the AI technology that enhances Facial Recognition software. The “Real ID” requirement establishes the database. Palantir provides the tech that takes the capture (facial image) and uses AI to scour the database, delivering a return.
Just as J6 targets were quickly identified using Palantir tech, so too will deportation efforts will be streamlined immensely.
Palantir will be the preferred surveillance tool used for a myriad of purposes.
♦ When the AI search and filter capability is merged with facial recognition, “Real ID”, and ultimately the NSA metadata; then adding fractal computing power and imagine the search results. My concern is it’s only a matter of time before an Obama-type administration take power again. What will that merged system look like if weaponized?
Palantir agreed to cooperate with the FBI and launched facial recognition AI on behalf of their federal contract with the FBI into the events of J6 attendees. The FBI arrests followed. Palantir’s access to the DHS/TSA database, as granted by the FBI for use in their J6 targeting operation, can be looked upon as a beta test for how artificial intelligence could scour the national biometric database and deliver results.
Three key points:
(1) Palantir doesn’t have access to the full NSA metadata library yet. Concerningly that’s another part where Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance can come into play in (’28).
(2) Palantir (AI surveillance) is beta tested with various sub-silos (like FBI), under auspices of various legal authorities (like J6).
(3) Palantir’s product, combined with Real ID and biometrics, can also be used to identify and locate illegal criminal aliens. Thus, the Tom Homan Deportation Operation benefits from incredible targeting efficiency. But will DHS stop using it when the deportation program concludes?
As long as these systems are operating for good, then I look at the financial windfall to the technocrat group as no issue. However, if those systems are weaponized for a process of targeting that violates the basic elements of our constitutional protection, then we have a problem.
“Politically Exposed Persons” outside the Big Club should be cautious.
