QUESTION: Since you said at the WEC that RFK and Trump will not listen to you or Socrates, they appear to be deer in headlights, powerless to prevent Biden and his Neocons from launching World War III before January. Besides my deep disappointment in their lack of respect for what you have accomplished, what advice would you have given them?

ANSWER: We all have monuments to previous wars, the tombs of unknown soldiers, and the ceremonial laying of wreaths annually is just photo-ops. Not one leader takes this into account. War memorials are just for show. They mean nothing to society, for they are not a deterrent in the least.
First, Congress would immediately call in the Pentagon and Chief of Staff and threaten to imprison him for contempt of Congress since only Congress can declare war and what they are doing violates the Constitution. They should get off their ass and stand up for the American people just once!
As for Trump and RFK, now is the time that you need to show the world you are really what you claim to be – anti-war. They both should be out there stating that if this vile puppet of the Neoccons, Zelensky, first even one long-range missile into Russia, not only will ALL funding to Ukraine be stopped, but they will move to cut off all funding to NATO and move to shut it down. Then, impose trade sanctions on every European country that supports war – PERIOD.

All the European leaders wanted war desperately so they could (1) try to hold together the failing Eurozone and (2) end up with an excuse to default on their debts. The average Russian, European, American, Canadian, Japanese, and Chinese are uninterested in war. The average person wants to get along and deal with everyday life. Sweden and Finland are telling their people to prepare for war. There is nobody in power even saying, let’s talk this out – NOBODY!
Germany and Finland launched a probe Monday after an undersea cable linking the countries was severed, warning of the threat of “hybrid warfare” amid heightened tensions with Russia. The USA blew up the NordStream Pipeline, and Germany turned off the gas from NordStream 2 on the orders of the American Neocons, subjecting the German people to much higher gas prices. There is no question now that the war chanting from countries’ foreign ministers said in a joint statement they were “deeply concerned” by the cutting off the communications link through the Baltic Sea, where tensions have increased since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, last Friday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged the Russian leader to withdraw his armed forces from Ukraine and negotiate a peace agreement with Kiev. You have to wonder if he is drinking too much. Vladimir Putin replied that any agreement would have to take account of “new territorial realities.” That was the Minsk Agreement that the people in the Donbas were Russian – not Ukrainian.
Zelensky has outlawed their language and their religion, and what started this was the massacre of Russians in Odesa in 2014, where they burned Russians alive as soon as the Ukrainians won their revolution. The West is not interested in peace. They have done nothing but promote this war from the outset.
Yugoslavia broke up according to ethnic lines. Is it worth the destruction of Europe to want war with Russia? It did not work out very well for Napoleon or Hitler. In 2014, I warned that Ukraine should have been broken up according to its ethnic lines.
Let’s get real here. If Russia walked out, the Ukrainians would slaughter the Russians that live there. The ethnic hatred goes back centuries. This is the same crisis in the Middle East. It is also not about land and more than this Ukrainian war. It is an ethnic view that goes back centuries. There is no living together. That seems to work for only brief moments in history.
When Herman Goring was asked how did the Nazis get the people to support the war, he answered straightforwardly, but nobody wanted to believe. He said that was easy. It was Stanley Milgrim who tested what Goring said and found it to be correct.
Stanley wrote his conclusion in Obedience to Authority. Most were outraged because they did not want to believe that society could be so easily manipulated. It’s worth the read.

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 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.

Reports are circulating that mpox, the newly branded version of monkeypox, has been spreading across Asia. The World Health Organization declared mpox an epidemic in mid-August, with the initial outbreak affecting African nations. While the WHO believes this is “not the new COVID,” demand for vaccinations is on the rise.
Who is creating the latest vaccination? Japan will provide a version developed by KM Biologics Co in Kumamoto. The WHO has also approved the MVA-BN vaccine by Bavarian Nordic A/S produced in Denmark. The UK has purchased 150,000 doses of the Bavarian Nordic vaccination. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an mpox vaccine named JYNNEOS for emergency use, but the CDC is only recommending this vaccine for those who work with orthopoxviruses.
Governments in developed nations are stating that the risk of contracting mpox remains low. “While the risk of catching mpox in the UK is low, vaccination offers a vital level of protection for those most likely to be exposed. We encourage those eligible to come forward when invited by local health services, to ensure they have the best defence,” NHS England commented on the matter.
So, while it does not seem that mpox will be the next pandemic, the push for increased vaccinations has moved beyond Africa. Our disease cycle shows there will undoubtedly be an uptick in 2026, but mpox is NOT likely to be the culprit.
