Algocracy means “rule by algorithm,” and, as James details in today’s important episode of The Corbett Report podcast, it’s a word that we would do well to become acquainted with. And, as you will discover in this presentation, algocracy is being seeded into the public consciousness right now by the very same Big Tech broligarchs who are now in a position to implement their plan for locking down society in an AI-run dystopian surveillance nightmare.

TRANSCRIPT
MARC ANDREESSEN: This is my belief and what I’ve been trying to tell people in Washington, which is: If you thought social media censorship was bad, this has the potential to be a thousand times worse.
And the reason is, social media is important, but at the end of the day, it’s “just people talking to each other.” AI is going to be the control layer on everything. Right? So AI is going to be the control layer on how your kids learn at school. It’s going to be the control layer on who gets loans. It’s going to be the control layer on: does your house open when you come to the front door? It’s going to be the control layer on everything. Right?
And so if that gets wired into the political system the way that the banks did and the way that social media did, we are in for a very bad future. And that’s a big thing that we’ve been trying to prevent—is to keep that from happening.
JAMES CORBETT: Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to The Corbett Report. I’m James Corbett of corbettreport.com, coming to you, as always, from the sunny climes of western Japan, here in March of 2025, with Episode 473 of The Corbett Report podcast, “Algocracy: Government for the New World Order.”
Those chilling opening words portraying what a government by algorithm might look like come to us via Marc Andreessen on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where Marc is warning us about the possibilities of not just social media censorship and control, but AI censorship and control, and how much worse that will be when AI is a layer on everything we do and everything we use.
Now, alright, let’s start today’s exploration—which will no doubt get into why I do not trust Marc Andreessen to keep us safe from the coming AI technocratic overlords—by defining our terms.
Probably this is a new term for most people in the audience: “algocracy.” This is a term that we can work out from etymology, if nothing else. Kratos, of course, being the Greek word for “rule,” which is where we derive, for example, “democracy”: demos kratos—rule by the public.
Or, for example, “autocracy”—the autocrat. That’s rule by “self”—self-rule. Well, in that case, of course, referring to the self-rule as in rule by a dictator, who rules by himself. Or, I suppose, there’s “kleptocracy”—rule by thieves. Or, as I hope my listeners are aware by now, “kakistocracy“—rule by the worst or the most evil, which may be an apt description of governing systems generally, but at any rate. . .
“Algocracy,” then, is rule by algorithm. And if you think that such a thing is some far-off, weird fantasy that . . . who on earth is even talking about that? well, may I present to you . . . oh, I don’t know, . . . a completely different clip from The Joe Rogan Experience with Marc Andreessen.
JOE ROGAN: I’ve said publicly—and I’m half-joking—that we need AI government. It sounds crazy to say, but instead of having this, like, alpha chimpanzee that runs the tribe of humans, how about we have some, like, really logical, fact-based, you know, program that, you know, makes it, like, really reasonable and equitable in a way that we can all agree to. Let’s govern things in that manner.
Hmm. Curious. Yes, let me spell that out for anyone who didn’t notice. Yes, that is the exact same pair of people—i.e., Marc Andreessen and Joe Rogan—who in the opening clip were warning about the dangers of a world of AI governance on top of every aspect of our lives being layered with AI. Isn’t that a scary prospect? But, yes, that’s the exact same pair who are now chortling about how it sounds crazy to say it, but we need AI government.
And, yep, instead of having, like, this alpha chimpanzee that runs the tribe of humans [chuckle], how about we have some really logical, fact-based, you know, program [yep!] that, you know, makes it really reasonable and equitable in a way that we can all agree to let’s govern things in that manner.
Wow. Yeah, riiiight. Okay, these are the guys that are going to save you from the AI nightmare of the future. Because, don’t worry, Andreessen and his team of technocratic crusaders are going to save you from that woke liberal AI and replace it with the cool Trumpian AI. Woohoo! Sign me up!
Alright, in case you need to know what is happening here, I will direct your attention to a series that I sincerely hope my listeners are already familiar with, but if not, you will be now. It is called “The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate.” It is being penned by Iain Davis, previous guest of The Corbett Report, and it is up on Unlimited Hangout—so far, Part 1 and Part 2. I would sincerely hope you are following this series.
Iain spells out exactly who Andreessen is and what his connections are. For example, in this section on “The Techno-populist Myth,” Iain writes:
Rather than technopopulists, it is the “TechnoKings” [you have to see Part 1 of the series to understand that reference] who have been “assisting” Trump’s selection of his administration’s personnel. Musk’s influence is well known, but Marc Andreessen, the venture capitalist co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, is another influencer. Andreessen has not just been involved in making Trump’s picks for technology and economic related positions — areas where he perhaps has some expertise — but also for US defense and intelligence posts.
Andreessen’s Machiavellian reasons for supporting Trump are obvious. As reported by The Verge, in July 2024 Andreessen spelled out that he and his partners were backing Trump, not because they shared any of the concerns voiced by Republican voters, but because they could use the Trump administration to deliver the regulatory environment they wanted for their project to succeed.
That project is a gov-corp Technate. Not technopopulism, but Techno-Optimism.
In 2023, Marc Andreessen published “The Techno-Optimist Manifesto.” He explained precisely why he and his TechKing partners have seized their opportunity:
“We can advance to a far superior way of living, and of being. [. . .] We believe that there is no material problem — whether created by nature or by technology — that cannot be solved with more technology. [. . .] We have a problem of poverty, so we invent technology to create abundance. Give us a real-world problem, and we can invent technology that will solve it.
“[. . .] Combine technology and markets and you get what Nick Land has termed the techno-capital machine, the engine of perpetual material creation, growth, and abundance. [. . .] We believe in accelerationism — the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development — to [. . .] ensure the techno-capital upward spiral continues forever. [. . .]
“We believe intelligence is in an upward spiral, [. . .] as people form symbiotic relationships with machines into new cybernetic systems. [. . .] We believe Artificial Intelligence is our alchemy, our Philosopher’s Stone.
[. . .] We believe in Augmented Intelligence just as much as we believe in Artificial Intelligence. Intelligent machines augment intelligent humans, driving a geometric expansion of what humans can do.”
And then Iain writes, “This is pure accelerationist neoreaction strongly influenced by technocracy.”
If you do not understand any of those words in that sentence, well, at the very least, go back to Part 1 of this series and read through the whole series and follow that up with . . .
. . . I don’t know, type the word “technocracy” into my search bar. Start perhaps with my Questions For Corbett on “What is Technocracy?” and follow the thread from there, because these are some very important terms that, as I hope you can start to understand, are becoming more and more important.
As Iain sums up here, at least in this section of his very voluminous article:
They [as in Thiel, Andreessen, and Musk] want to implement the Dark Enlightenment and are hell-bent on establishing gov-corp Technates. Their oligarch network is indistinguishable from the Trump administration. Currently, the most powerful nation on earth is in their hands.
And there are receipts to back all of this up, including some of the ones that Iain referenced just in those few paragraphs, let alone the many, many, many, many, many, many references in the overall series.
For example, as The New Republic was reporting, “Here Are All the Tech Bros Helping Elon Musk Gut the Government.” And, of course, they do mention Marc Andreessen was among those directly involved in “recruiting and interviewing efforts for positions in [Trump’s] incoming administration.” They even go out and straight call him “technocrat”: “The technocrat is one-half of Andreessen Horowitz.”
And we can get this from The Washington Post (“Democracy Dies in Darkness!”) in which they report:
Andreessen has been quietly and successfully recruiting and interviewing candidates for positions across the incoming administration[.] [. . .] The venture capitalist reach is not limited to decisions related to tech and economics personnel, one person who speaks to Trump regularly said. Andreessen has also advised the incoming administration on candidates for posts at the Department of Defense and intelligence agencies, that person said.
And you can read more on that in that article. And why, why on earth would we not trust this wonderful technocratic venture capitalist who is out-and-out saying that AI is their “alchemy and Philosopher’s stone,” and they’re going to “augment humans” into cybernetic systems? Why wouldn’t we trust someone like that sitting there at the heart of the Trump administration directing who will populate various agencies?
Well, some indication of that might come from this article in The Verge [titled] “The moral bankruptcy of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz: Two of Silicon Valley’s famous venture capitalists make the case for backing Trump, that their ability to make money is the only value that matters.”
It dissects an edition of The Ben & Marc Show, the podcast that they do together, where they laid out their reasons quite stunningly and quite out there in the open—the exact reasons that they want to be sitting there at the heart of government, directing government agencies, is so that they can ensconce themselves more deeply in the process of governing over individuals and ultimately, ultimately the planet itself.
In order to bring about their techno-optimistic agenda, guys! It’s not technocracy and it’s not rule-by-technocrats. No, no, no. It’s techno-optimism. They’re going to make the world a better place! And why wouldn’t you trust them?
Alright. I trust that you, being well-informed listeners of The Corbett Report, will already have something of a suspicion that this might not be a good thing. But, but, I mean, come on! This is all just highfalutin sci-fi talk. It’s not like anyone is actually at the moment implementing AI at the heart of government, right?
And now shifting focus to Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and head of DOGE, has made all sorts of headlines this week. The latest is his push to incorporate Artificial Intelligence for running federal departments. After firing tens of thousands of federal employees, DOGE now demands the remaining to explain their weekly accomplishments via email. Musk is using AI to process the email responses and determine who should remain employed. DOGE has also rolled out an AI Chatbot for federal workers that is being reportedly used for carrying out general tasks. According to reports, employees are using the DOGE chatbot for drafting emails, creating talking points and summarizing drafts. Meanwhile, the State Department is planning to use AI to scan social media posts of visa holders residing in the US to identify if they support terror groups like Hamas.
SOURCE: Musk Wants AI to Replace Fired Federal Employees, Launches DOGE Chatbot
Yeah, newsflash for anyone who didn’t catch it: the AI algorithmic overtaking of government agencies is already underway, thanks to co-President Elon “Hipster Soros” Musk. Well, anyway, we can follow the thread of this cookie crumb trail from a variety of stories.
First, coming at the very beginning of February: “Elon Musk Ally Tells Staff ‘AI-First’ Is the Future of Key Government Agency,” which notes that:
In a Monday morning meeting, Thomas Shedd, the recently appointed Technology Transformation Services director and Elon Musk ally, told General Services Administration workers that the agency’s new administrator is pursuing an “AI-first strategy”[.]
Which is followed up a few days later by this: “Elon Musk’s DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data into AI to target cuts“:
Representatives from Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service have fed sensitive data from across the Education Department into artificial intelligence software to probe the agency’s programs and spending[.] [. . .] The DOGE team is using AI software accessed through Microsoft’s cloud computing service Azure to pore over every dollar of money the department disperses, from contracts to grants to work trip expenses, one of the people said.
How else are you going to look over all this data?
Followed up shortly [by this]: “DOGE will use AI to assess the responses of federal workers who were told to justify their jobs via email,” noting:
Responses to the Elon Musk-directed email to government employees about what work they had accomplished in the last week are expected to be fed into an artificial intelligence system to determine whether those jobs are necessary, according to three sources with knowledge of the system.
The information will go into an LLM (Large Language Model), an advanced AI system that looks at huge amounts of text data to understand, generate and process human language, the sources said. The AI system will determine whether someone’s work is mission-critical or not.
Followed up by [this]: “DOGE’s Plans to Replace Humans With AI Are Already Under Way: The civil service is being turned over to machines,” which notes that:
The Trump administration is testing a new chatbot with 1,500 federal employees at the General Services Administration and may release it to the entire agency as soon as this Friday[.] [. . .]
The bot, which GSA leadership is framing as a productivity booster for federal workers, is part of a broader playbook from DOGE and its allies. Speaking about GSA’s broader plans, Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who was recently installed as the director of the Technology Transformation Services, TTS, GSA’s IT division, said at an all-hands meeting last month that the agency is pushing for an “AI-first strategy.” In the meeting, a recording of which I obtained, Shedd said that “as we decrease the overall size of the federal government, as you all know, there’s still a ton of programs that need to exist, which is a huge opportunity for technology and automation to come in full force.” He suggested that “coding agents” could be provided across the government—a reference to AI programs that can write and possibly deploy code in place of a human. Moreover, Shedd said AI could “run analysis on contracts,” and software could be used to “automate” GSA’s “finance functions.”
What the hell is going on here? How is the entire government being taken over and replaced by these AI-obsessed technocrat oligarchs?
Well, that’s a question that, hey, finally, the left side of the phoney left-right bird of prey—wouldn’t you know it, broken clock right twice a decade—suddenly are interested in such questions.
So now we have [this]: “Dems ask federal agencies for reassurance DOGE isn’t feeding data into AI willy-nilly” . . . because they don’t even know what’s happening:
House Democrats have sent letters to 24 federal agencies asking for assurances that Elon Musk’s DOGE team is not feeding sensitive government data into “unapproved and unaccountable” AI systems[.] [. . .]
The lawmakers say it would be inappropriate for the personal information of Americans [Social Security numbers, bank and transaction data, etc.] to be sifted through by such systems.
[House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ranking member Gerald E.] Connolly also expressed concern over reported claims DOGE has proposed cuts at many agencies based on the advice of unvetted AI systems[.] [. . .]
The letter also cited independent analyst Cyberintelligence Brief, which claimed supply chain management platform Inventry.ai is ingesting government data. The analyst claims “multiple US government IP addresses point to its REST API.”
And if you want, you can follow it up by taking a look at one of those letters that are being sent. For example, this one to “The Honorable Howard Lutnick.” I think “honorable” is a . . . well, may not be the right word to use there. Anyway, you can go and read through what type of information the other half of the supposed governing system [that] doesn’t even know what that half is doing—or at least what Elon Musk is directing.
But it is, of course, not just Elon Musk. He is not the only billionaire tech oligarch with his snoot in this particular pie, lusting to get after not only the data of every single American and everyone else that is snarfed up by the US government, but, more importantly, to run AI coding agents on all of that data to get all of the information, tie things together.
You know, exactly, exactly what the deep state was lusting after with its scuttled program back in 2002, 2003: the Total Information Awareness Office. Remember that—with the all-seeing eye of Horus radiating the entire earth?
Remember how they had to back off on that: “Okay, guys, we don’t mean that!”
And who took over that program? And who picked up that slack? Oh, suddenly, as soon as [snaps fingers] the TIA went away, Palantir was suddenly getting CIA contracts. And Peter Thiel and Alex Karp were on the scene to supply the exact services that Poindexter and the others at DARPA were lusting after in that particular program.
Wow, what a co-inky-dink. You can find out all about it in my three-part series [Part 1, Part 2, Part 3] on Peter Thiel and, of course, my previous editorial on Palantir itself.
But let’s keep moving on. As I say, these are not the only people involved. Just in case you might be thinking, “Wow, maybe Trump has no idea any of this is going on . . .” No! He’s quite well aware—or at least whatever person or persons are puppeteering him are quite well aware.
[From the White House]: “Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump takes action to enhance America’s AI Leadership.”
“America First,” by which I mean “AI First,” by which I mean “BlackRock First.” Anyway, and if you read through, of course, all of these terrible Biden Executive Orders on AI, we’re all weak and stuff. We’re going to have nice, strong AI for America’s new AI leadership.
And of course:
President Trump also took executive action in 2020 to establish the first-ever guidance for federal agency adoption of AI to more effectively deliver services to the American people and foster public trust in this critical technology.
You better trust it, guys.
And, oh yeah: What happened on the second day of the new Trump administration? The second day. Oh, that’s right. The big announcement of the $500 billion AI investment in Project Stargate, where Trump appeared alongside his best buddies, Masayoshi Son and Sam “Stare into the Orb” Altman and Larry “CIA Deep State Oracle” Ellison to announce this wonderful breakthrough AI technology that’s going to make America First and Great Again and all of that jazz.
And what kind of things are they specifically working on with this AI technology again?
LARRY ELLISON: One of the most exciting things we’re working on, again, using the tools that Sam and Masa are providing, is a cancer vaccine. It’s very interesting. It turns out—I’ll be quick—all of our cancers, cancer tumors, little fragments of those tumors, float around in your blood. So you can do early cancer detection. You can do early cancer detection with a blood test.
And using AI to look at the blood test, you can find the cancers that are actually seriously threatening the person. So we can, again, cancer diagnosis using AI has the promise of just being a simple blood test. Then, beyond that, once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the person, design a vaccine for every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer. And you can make that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically—again, using AI—in about 48 hours. So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer vaccine for your particular cancer aimed at you—and have that vaccine available in 48 hours. This is the promise of AI and the promise of the future.
SOURCE: LIVE: President Trump announces $500 billion investment in AI Infrastructure project called Stargate
Shocking, I know, that Mr. Warp Speed MAGA Jab, the President who bragged that the COVID vaccine was the greatest accomplishment of his administration, would have these AI hucksters up there telling us about the marvels of AI engineering of the next generation of mRNA vaccines—or genetic interventions.
Wonderful. How could this go wrong? And in case you think that this is all some 5D chess maneuver, guys [chuckles], don’t worry. Trump, who introduced the mRNA, approved Operation Warp Speed to warp-speed those jabs right into your arms. He’s really against these things, guys. No, he is not.
“Bill Gates on Trump meeting: ‘Frankly, I was impressed.’” From January 17th of this year:
Billionaire, philanthropist, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates reflected on a recent dinner he had with President-elect Trump in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, saying he was impressed by the former President. And during the dinner, Trump reportedly got pretty excited as they discussed the potential development of a cure for HIV and polio mitigation efforts. He, in the COVID days, accelerated the vaccine innovation, Gates said. So I was asking him if maybe the same kind of thing could be done here. And we both got, I think, pretty excited about that.
Yay, guys. AI-engineered mRNA vaccines coming right up. Courtesy of Trump’s good buddies, like Larry Ellison. Yes, the same Larry “Don’t worry, guys. AI will be surveilling you in the bathroom, so policing will improve” Ellison. Yeah, that Larry Ellison. Look it up. True story, in case you haven’t seen that clip.
But let’s not dwell on the ancient past of 2024 and things Larry Ellison was saying about what AI would do and how it would transform government then.
No, we can go much more recent than that—specifically 2025, February of 2025, when he appeared at the World Government Summit. Yes, the same World Government Summit that Elon Musk, co-President Elon Musk, appeared at to talk about how he was “White House tech support!”—AI-first tech support—for transforming the US government into an algocracy.
Well, Larry Ellison was there, too, and he was being interviewed by Tony (B)liar. Yes, good ole ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair, emanating his evil energy from the World Government Summit stage. And they were talking about the wonderful ways that AI can transform government as long as governments around the world just feed all of its citizens’ data into the AI beast.
TONY BLAIR: Tell us a bit about what—because you’re right at the forefront of this revolution—what it means for what government should do in terms of its digital infrastructure— you know, digital ID data centers and so on.
LARRY ELLISON: In other words, okay, if AI is really this great, how do I take advantage of it? Because the impacts are enormous. And it’s very interesting, because almost no one is talking about that.
Everyone is talking about—and I will answer the question in just a second—everyone’s talking about these fantastic NVIDIA chips that allow us to build these huge AI models. Oracle’s building a 2.2-gigawatt data center. [It] costs between $50 billion and soon $100 billion dollars to build these data centers and train these models.
Because these models are so expensive, you won’t build your own, as a rule. There’ll be a handful of these models. The question is: How do you take advantage of these incredible AI models?
And the first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model. Everyone talks about the AI model—and they are astonishing.
But how do you provide a context? I want to ask questions about my country. What’s going on in my country? What’s happening to my farmers? I need to give it my climate data. Now, it probably has your climate data already.
But I need to know exactly what crops are growing and which farms to predict the output. So I have to take satellite images. I have to take those satellite images for my country and feed that into a database that is accessible by the AI model.
So, basically, I have to tell the AI model as much about my country as I can. You tell part of the story with these satellite models. You give it a huge amount of information. You tell it where roads are, where borders are, where your utilities are. So you need to provide a map of your country for the farms and all of the utility infrastructure and your borders. All of that you have to provide.
But beyond that, if you want to improve population health, you have to take all of your healthcare data, your diagnostic data, your electronic health records, your genomic data.
In the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they’re incredibly rich in data. They have a lot of population data.
The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data. But it’s fragmented. It’s not easily accessible by these AI models.
We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform. So, we provide context. When we want to ask a question, we’ve provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country.
That’s the big step. That’s kind of the missing link. We need to unify all of the national data, put it into a database where it’s easily consumable by the AI model, and then ask whatever question you like.
SOURCE: Reimagining Technology for Government: A Conversation with Larry Ellison and Tony Blair
There we go. Trump’s best buddy, Larry Ellison, talking about the ways that AI will be wonderful and transform government as long as it can snarf up every piece of data that any government has on its citizens, its country, its technology, its infrastructure—everything. Just put it all into the AI beast, and then you can ask it anything! And it will tell you the answers and tell you what to cut and tell you what to do.
Algocracy. Wonderful thing.
Alright, what does this look like, then? Once we feed all of this data into the maw of the AI behemoth that is being erected before our very eyes, what will be done with that data? What can be done? How can we make the world a better place through the loving embrace of this technology?
Well, I don’t know. How about, let’s imagine some sci-fi fantasy world, where you have, of course, video surveillance cameras up everywhere. And, of course, they can be connected quite easily to an AI algorithm that could scan every single person, keep track of them and their whereabouts, who they are, all of their details, financial and otherwise, in real time, so that if they so much as jaywalk, so much as step across the street in an unprescribed area, the facial recognition system will be able to automatically detect that and to detect who they are, identify them, find them, and then in real time go into their bank account and take those funds out so that by the time they finish crossing the street, the funds are already gone. They’ve already been fined.
I know, that’s sci-fi dystopian nonsense—that Big Brother 1984 stuff. You know, that’s not really happening in reality, right? No, wrong. It’s not only already happening, it’s been happening for the better part of a decade.
ASHLEE VANCE: Well, you jaywalked and you had facial recognition?
FREDERICK BRAVEY: I actually got this. So, I was jaywalking in Nanxian, and all of a sudden I got a fine to my WeChat.
JAMIE SALTER: Was it instant?
BRAVEY: It was about 20 seconds after, I guess. I had money in my balance, and it just went straight out. And this is the most incredible thing. It just came straight out.
SALTER: Didn’t even authorize it.
ANANT PATHAK: That’s crazy.
VANCE: It’s true. Try to jaywalk in certain parts of Shenzhen, and the government’s facial recognition will spot you. There’s even a board of shame showing the faces of recent offenders.
MIKE REED: I’m surprised and very, very worried that they have your face in the facial recognition system.
BRAVEY: But they have everyone’s, though. I mean, when you go across the border, they take that picture. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so it’s all in the system. They know where you are.
REED: That’s scary.
Oh, OK, yeah, it has already been happening for years now. But, you know, that’s in China. I mean, of course the Chicoms are going to be doing that kind of stuff. But in the land of the free, wherever you happen to think that might be—in the land of the free, they can’t do that. A government can’t just arbitrarily swoop in and decide to confiscate people’s bank funds, right?
Oh, right. The Canadian truckers. Alright. Well, yeah, OK. I mean, I guess it can happen. But that was a big rigmarole, a big legal thing—Emergency Powers Act, and they had to go to the banks themselves and coordinate this massive effort and use regulatory powers and all this sort of stuff. I mean, they couldn’t just reach into the bank account and just scoop the funds out. I mean, that would be crazy.
Can you imagine if there was someone—say, some technocratic billionaire oligarch who happens to be the co-President of the United States right now—who had the means, motive, and opportunity to create some sort of Everything app, a WeChat for America and the rest of the world, which will combine all aspects of your digital identity and persona, exactly as Klaus Schwab was saying is going to happen in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. All of your data: your digital ID, your finance data, your social media history, who you talk to, where you go—all of that together in one convenient little app.
But thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that, right?
INTERVIEWER: [The] possibility of Twitter becoming kind of a super app with payments included, perhaps even DOGE or something—this seems to me, based on your work with David at PayPal, a pretty brilliant idea. What’s the vision there in terms of—if you were able to buy it, perhaps at the right price? What would it look like if I could @Jason to @ElonMusk 10 bucks or something, if we were splitting a check or something?
ELON MUSK: Sure. Well, for those that have used WeChat, I think WeChat is actually a good model. If you’re in China, you kind of live on WeChat. It does everything. It’s sort of like Twitter plus PayPal plus a whole bunch of other things all rolled into one with actually a great interface. It’s really an excellent app.
And we don’t have anything like that outside of China. So, I think such an app would be really useful—just the utility of a spam-free thing, where you can make comments, you can post videos. I think it’s important for content creators to have a revenue share. Now, this does not need to be done on Twitter. It could be done from something that’s created from scratch. It could be something new.
I think this thing needs to exist, whether it is converting Twitter to be a kind of all-encompassing app—a digital town square, where important ideas are debated, maximally trusted and inclusive. Where you have a high-trust situation, then payments, whether it’s crypto or fiat, can make a lot of sense. We just want something that’s incredibly useful and that people love using. It’s either convert Twitter to that or start something new. Those are the two. But it does need to happen somehow.
Ah, right. Okay. WeChat. Check. Surveillance. Check. Taking all our data. Check. Feeding us AI-generated mRNA vaccines. Check. Yuh, it’s all slotting into place. Wonderful.
So what happens if you don’t like the direction that things are going? What happens if you were to dissent against this? What would happen if you were to resist the coming of the algocracy? Oh, don’t worry. The algocracy is prepared for that, because, in case you didn’t know, death by algorithm is already a thing, too.
VOX NARRATOR: The Israeli Defense Forces’ use of AI is not new.
TAL MIMRAN: I think that the most famous use of AI by the IDF is, of course, the Iron Dome, which is a defensive system that aims to disrupt the threat of missile attacks.
NARRATOR: This system is partly what defended Israel against Iran’s drone and missile attacks in April 2024.
JOSEPH GEDEON: The other one is another homegrown weapon that they have called the SMASH from Smartshooter, which is an AI precision assault rifle sight that you add on to handheld weapons. And what it does is it uses advanced image-processing algorithms to home in on a target, sort of like an auto-aim in Call of Duty.
NARRATOR: Another way Israel uses AI is through surveillance of Palestinians in the occupied territories.
PROF. LUCY SUCHMAN: Every time they pass through one of the hundreds of checkpoints, their movements are being registered. Their facial images and other biometrics are being matched against a database.
NARRATOR: But we’re now learning more about the AI systems that choose bombing targets in Gaza from two reports in the Israeli publications +972 and Local Call.
Gospel is a system that produces bombing targets for specific buildings and structures in Gaza. It does this by working in conjunction with other AI tools. And, like any AI system, the first step is the large-scale collection of data—in this case, surveillance and historical data on Palestinians and militant locations in Gaza.
MIMRAN: The most famous application would be the Alchemist, which is a platform that collects data and allows the transfer of data between different departments, later being transferred to another platform, which is called the Fire Factory. The Fire Factory observes the data and categorizes it.
NARRATOR: The generated targets are generally put into one of four categories. First, tactical targets, which usually include armed militant cells, weapons warehouses, launchers, and militant headquarters. Then, there are underground targets, primarily tunnels under civilian homes. The third category includes the family homes of Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives. And the last category includes targets that are not obviously military in nature, particularly residential and high-rise buildings with dozens of civilians. The IDF calls these “power targets.”
Once the data is organized, it goes through a third layer called the Gospel.
MIMRAN: The Gospel creates an output which suggests specific possible targets, possible munitions, warnings of possible collateral damage, etc.
NARRATOR: This system produces targets in Gaza faster than a human can. And within the first five days of the war, half of all the targets identified were from the “power targets” category.
Multiple sources who spoke to +972 reported that the idea behind power targets is to exert civil pressure on Hamas. Heba’s home was most likely one of the power targets picked up by the Gospel system.

Yes, the digital infrastructure for the total lockdown and clampdown on society and every interaction and transaction within it is already in place. The digital infrastructure for tracking down and killing dissenters of that system is already in place.
I think we need to clarify what we are talking about here, because I know some people will just get hung up on the word—on the term “AI.”
“There’s no such thing as artificial intelligence.” Great. Wonderful. However, there are such things as algorithms that are already being used to target and kill people here in the real world. So the angels dancing on a head of a pin conversation is no doubt fascinating, but it is completely irrelevant to the algocracy that is already here and is ramping up as we speak.
And as mind-boggling as it can be to contemplate after what we have already seen, it gets even worse. This goes to an even darker place.
What could be worse than the algorithmic targeting and killing of human beings? “Well, the algorithm told me to drop the bomb there, so that’s what I did.” What could be worse than that?
Well, unfortunately, all of this AI apparatus . . . machinery . . . infrastructure isn’t just about efficiency. Government efficiency—as in, better efficiency in targeting, tracking down, and killing dissenters, let alone everything else that government does.
No, it turns out that whoever is wearing the ring of power of algocracy, the algorithmic power, ultimately has the power not only to shape who you are individually, but ultimately to shape the direction of humanity as a whole.
Do not take this from crazy whacked-out conspiracy realist James Corbett sitting there in Japan. What does he know?
No, no, no, no. Take it from your new algorithmic overlords: the deep state-created globalist insider organization known as Google.
PRESENTER: Initially, the notion of a goal-oriented ledger may be user-driven. As an organization, Google would be responsible for offering suitable targets for a user’s ledger. Whilst the notion of a global good is problematic, topics would likely focus on health or environmental impact to reflect Google’s values as an organization. Once the user selects a volition for their ledger, every interaction may be compared to a series of parallel options. If one of these options allows the ledger to move closer to its goal, it will be offered up to the user. Over time, by selecting these options, the user’s behaviour may be modified and the ledger moves closer to its target.
As this line of thinking accelerates and the notion of a goal-driven ledger becomes more palatable, suggestions may be converted not by the user but by the ledger itself. In this case, the ledger is missing a key data source, which it requires in order to better understand this user. In order to plug the gap in its knowledge, the ledger begins searching for a device which delivers the required data when used. From this list, the ledger begins sorting the options most likely to appeal to the user in question.
In situations where no suitable product is found, the ledger may investigate a bespoke solution. By analysing historical data, it is increasingly possible to discern qualitative information such as taste and aesthetic sensibility, which may be used in the creation of a design proposal.
With the advent of technologies such as CNC milling and the emergent possibilities of 3D printing, a custom object may be created to trigger this user’s interest. In this way, the ledger is able to plug gaps in its knowledge and refine its model of human behavior.
User data has the capability to survive beyond the limits of our biological selves, in much the same way as genetic code is released and propagated in nature. By considering this data through a Lamarckian lens, the codified experiences within the ledger become an accumulation of behavioural knowledge throughout the life of an individual.
By thinking of user data as multi-generational, it becomes possible for emerging users to benefit from the preceding generation’s behaviors and decisions. As new users enter an ecosystem, they begin to create their own trail of data.
By comparing this emergent ledger with the mass of historical user data, it becomes possible to make increasingly accurate predictions about decisions and future behaviors.
As cycles of collection and comparison extend, it may be possible to develop a species-level understanding of complex issues such as depression, health, and poverty.
Our ability to interpret user data, combined with the exponential growth in sensor-enabled objects, will result in an increasingly detailed account of who we are as people. As these streams of information are brought together, the effect is multiplied, new patterns become apparent, and new predictions become possible.
Since the 1970s, huge efforts have been made in sequencing the human genome. Today, after many years of research and billions of data points, that sequence is known.
By adopting a similar perspective with user data, we may begin to better understand its role. Just as the examination of protein structures paved the way to genetic sequencing, the mass multi-generational examination of actions and results could introduce a model of behavioral sequencing.
As gene sequencing yields a comprehensive map of human biology, researchers are increasingly able to target parts of the sequence and modify them in order to achieve a desired result. As patterns begin to emerge in the behavioral sequences, they too may be targeted. The ledger could be given a focus, shifting it from a system which not only tracks our behavior, but offers direction towards a desired result.
We are at the very beginning of our journey of understanding in the field of user data. By applying our knowledge of epigenetics, inheritance and memetics to this field, we may be able to make mental leaps in our understanding, which could offer benefits to this generation, to future generations and the species as a whole.

I sincerely hope that people understand the gravity of what is being put out there. And, by the way, that video is nearly a decade old now. But there it is, from the horse’s mouth itself, the plan for the engineering of humanity.
The things that such algorithmic control would be capable of we are barely capable of understanding—of grasping the significance of. I mean, creating bespoke products, so that you would be more likely to buy it in order to feed the algorithm the type of data that it wants, based on its preferences for you and your life.
Things get very, very dark very quickly. Because . . . don’t worry guys, it’s for the good of humanity, as determined by . . . let me check my notes—oh, right, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk [and] any of these other technocratic overlords or the people pulling their strings.
This is a game for all the marbles, and I trust that if you have followed me through all these twists and turns—and more than that. More than simply followed. Actually gone through this information for yourself, followed the links back that will all be there at corbettreport.com/algocracy. All of this information is there for you to check, to vet, to verify, to see for yourself where things are going.
I trust that once you do so and you realize I am not lying to you—that this information is all out there and it does add up to this coming new governing paradigm for the new New World Order that we’re goose-stepping into, you will understand the severity of this situation.
But that’s only half the battle, maybe not even that. Because, as always, the real operative question is: What do we do about this? What do we do with this information?
And, unfortunately, I am not going to provide you with a simple three-step solution to all these problems in the next 10 minutes. No, unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to work like that.
Now, I suppose there is the simplest solution. Just ditch all technology whatsoever. Just don’t feed the algorithms any information. Just go completely off-grid. And if you can accomplish that and thrive, good on you. I certainly wouldn’t dissuade you from that.
However, I can’t persuade even fellow people in the independent media not to use Twitter. So I think the idea of completely ditching our digital lives is probably not going to happen en masse or even on an individual basis anytime soon.
We are heading into this digital dystopia one way or another. So, what do we do about it?
I am all ears for suggestions. And believe you me, if there are good suggestions, please, Corporate Report members, leave your ideas in the comment section. Exactly what to do about this problem, how to solve this problem.
You better believe I will do #SolutionsWatch galore on this issue if there are good ideas. I’m afraid I don’t see many good options at the moment, other than, of course, trying to starve the beast in every way possible.
But one thing I do know is that we cannot possibly even start to combat an agenda that we can’t name, that we can’t identify, that we can’t put our finger on and say, “Look, this is what is happening.”
And that’s why today, at the very, very least, I hope that I have put on the plate a new term that we can understand and that we can use to explain what is happening to other people.
Algocracy.
I have a feeling this will be an important word for all of us going forward. As I say, all of the notes to all of the resources that we have gone over today will be at corbettreport.com/algocracy. And, as I say, Corbett Report members are wholeheartedly encouraged to log in and leave your suggestions in the comment section. I am all ears, as I’m sure everyone else is as well.
But that’s going to do it for today’s exploration. I’m James Corbett of corbettreport.com, thanking you for investing your time in this incredibly important subject and looking forward to talking to you again in the near future.
Recent “All In” podcast offer more horrible ideas following the Bros recent trip to DC, where they interviewed a couple of cabinet member. One or two of the podcast included discussion of having Palantir or Oracle, for example, to write and give (free of charge) new software to replace outdated software currently being used. Another opportunity to gather personal data and collate into our TIA file.
The short term “solution” is to stop feeding your phone number, name and social security number and birthdate into every damn form.

People will also have tonlearn about the tech they use and stop treating it like an appliance (“appliance” computers were Steve Jobs big idea)
Stop using windows (it’s spy ware) and stop using Mac (also spyware) and use Linux (mostly not spyware yet). You tube has a ton of Linux how to videos.
Start using temporary computers – either wiyh a thumb drive like Tails OS or using Virtual box to run “VM”s and have a separate “fake” computer for every task online

And most importantly
Stay out of debt
Store extra food and some cash (actual cash)

Listen to G on growing food
The reason Wee Chat is so powerful is that most Chinese people I have met have zero practical skills and live in cities where they pay people to do everything. Not kidding- saw some fresh off the plane try to move furniture and it was like a comedy skit.
The reason people are going into the algorithm is that they are lazy and greedy and want stuff to be easy. That’s how I kill rats, by playing off their basic desires…. Don’t be rats!!!
@Duck
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I would add, do not just follow me and how I do things and grow food.. take a look at the approach, perspectives, techniques and tools used by at least three other people that are engaging in regenerative works similar to me, cross reference and extrapolate what works best for you in your unique situation and strive to improve and build upon what people like myself are doing.
Everyone of us has blind spots and people designing regenerative decentralized food and medicine production systems in different bioregions and cultural environments than me will inevitably come up with things that are more appropriate and fine tuned to bring about success for people in different living situations than me.
I may strive to formulate universally applicable and scalable methods and perspectives, but I have made mistakes and failed account for certain variables before, and i`ll likely do so again.
One way to build a solid foundation for food sovereignty every single time in every location on Earth where people live is to look at how pre-statist place based cultures in that region cultivated food. If one cannot find that info or the info available seems to not be viable, appropriate and/or ethical for modern day goals and standards, look to a climate analog some where else on Earth with similar topography, learn about how the pre-statist cultures there did things. Use that ancient place based knowledge that was sculpted over centuries to millennia as a corner stone to build upon. Then you`ll have something that, like a native tree species that germinates in the soil it knows well, is emerging from and symbiotically supported by that landbase.
Planting the seeds for resilient food systems (which can often become self-perpetuating) is both an art form and a science. The best forms of that art emerge from cultures that look upon the land reverently and see our non-human fellow community members as teachers and kin.
As we move our awareness and skillsets in that direction, we engage in a sort of inward “social engineering” and “behavior modification” of our own, developing new synaptic connections and neural networks specialized to appreciate and recognize beauty and patterns in nature. This initiates a pathway of perception that increases one’s capacity to feel joy and fulfillment via the simple things, it enriches not just the body, but the heart, mind and spirit. Thus, even if one was to spend years going about walking a path similar to what I describe above, and created a beautiful food forest, only to have the killer robo-dogs unleashed on them and mow them down for posting a thought crime on twitter/We-chat, the process would still be worth the journey 😉
Are you sure you want to recommend a Larry Ellison (Oracle) virtual box, Duck? Otherwise, good tips.
You’re a mental samurai Corbett, it doesn’t surprise me you wound up in the climbs of western Japan. You have generations of ascended masters and philosophers standing with you, as well as the many generations of humans yet to come.
Corbett, you may be looking for solutions but what you need to understand is that you have, as a modern town smithy, helped train and arm the villagers to the teeth with words lacking little truth(or is that through the teeth). This is a battle of and for consciousness in defence of our humanity. When things are shifted too far in the not too distant future, your words will provide the justifiable means and well principled motives that proactively envisage and enable positive outcomes that benefit all. Your decades of investment have ensured us that all that can be done, will come to pass, in the interests of greater awareness. The solution comes by default when they are forced to overplay their hand, not too far off i suspect.
Algocracy – cool and terrifying…
Interesting: The term “algorithm” originates from the Latinized name of the 9th-century Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, whose works introduced algebra and Hindu-Arabic numerals to European mathematicians

Andreessen technocratic rhetoric is similar to the school of virology CULTure. WC Fields once said…”If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
A core problem with so called AI is it can initiate consequential real word actions with no clear cut responsibility on the part of the participants. The dog ate my homework.
Yes.
It’s the apotheosis of the manager paper pushing class…. No one knows who did what or why.
To me, this is like a twisted attempt to create “karma-less” action; just as we are detached from nature, food, and the like, so are these people becoming detached from humanity. We can combat it only by saying “No”. All we can do is object; the consequences? Obvious. But how many of us would want to live forever in such a hellscape? Consenting or not is the only thing we have the power to do. We have to decide to whom will we give our power, how much, and what the consequences will be for ourselves, children, and humanity.
So I’m 69, my kids (47 & 52) have been putting up with my ranting for decades. When they first brought in the alexa demon, I tried like hell to get them to ditch it, to no avail.
Once, from my daughter, I received the “I have nothing to hide” retort, unfortunately I couldn’t convince her that this is not about ‘catching you’ doing something wrong, largely because I didn’t really understand the why, until now. It’s about collecting every heartbeat, respiration, thought and emotion, to feed the machine. Why? So as to configure a means for you/us to accept slavery without rebellion. It’s the ultimate sales con. I’ll bet that they hoover up everything they can from used car guys, lol!!
Thanks James
They will only care if they feel N emotional response to the idea of being spied on…..most people have yet to get much real pain from surveillance. The pain has not happened yet so normalcy bias says it’s fine.
I am pretty sure their attitude is the majority one sadly- but I will say that there is getting to be a divergence in younger kids between the phone addicts and the ones who are a LOT more distrustful and sparing in tech use.
It’s kinda a selection event IMO, like Indians and whisky and English poor people and gin. The most susceptible get it bad for a bit and the survivors are more resistant.
pat,
I just turned 70 and your comment about the “alexa demon” struck a cord with me. I don’t even want to enter a home with one of those things. Back in 2018 I went back to WA to do some work on a Fixer House for my sister (it was in Union WA within a mile or so of the Gates Summer home). Also interesting is that Paul Allen (Bill Gates Partner who started Microsoft) died while I was out there.
Anyway, I stayed at a house that had an “alexa demon” and I sat in a chair next to it while it would start playing music for no apparent reason. (I think it was schizophrenic). My bother in law said that he was in the kitchen and he said something about getting Milk form the refrigerator when the “demon” responded form the Living room “Ordering Milk”.
I think I only stayed there one night, but no thank you, eh! I will find somewhere else to stay.
@pat
Ahh I am in the mirror situation to yours with regards to my parents (they are regurgitating the “I have nothing to hide” line and are pro-AI, pro-technocracy, pro-authoritarian government).
RE: “the alexa demon”
Maybe if you get your kids to watch this tv series they will start to ask some questions?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODnqiRNshOM
It depicts a very disturbing chatbot demon.
and then another one I saw the other night The Rookie – Season 7 Episode 10, depicts a situation where some rogue overseas LLM (AI chatbot) starts talking to some kids and tells the kid how to stab another kid and get away with it.
(That part of the story is actually something I think could happen now, and, now that I think of it, it could get a lot worse than that in the years ahead)
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9gh2nm
(the part about the chatbot, which the children fondly refer to as “Zuzu the demon” starts at about time index 32:10 in the video linked above)
G
“…starts talking to some kids and tells the kid how to stab another kid and get away with it.…”
Let’s be honest – if they need to ask an LLM how to stab someone chances are they will hold the knife by the blade and stab with the handle, lol, less LOL is how there appear to be HUMAN groups running chats that try to groom mass shooters or junior pedos into commitinh crimes or killing themselves on web cam.
BX investigates does work on those groups… appeanrtly related to the Order of Nine Angles people.
@Duck
ya, fair point, perhaps I did not properly explain the story though. It was more about the chatbot “demon” helping fill in the gaps for logistics for framing a made up fall guy and creating evidence that was intended to deflect suspicion during the police investigation (in the case of the fictional story I am referencing).
In reality, a well versed LLM with no “guard rails” could be used by deranged people of any age to hone their methods and make them more successful and methodical engaging in nefarious and violent behavior. Though, at the same time, crazies can just as easily learn that stuff from other crazies in juvy, online or by mimicking sick video games. Crazies will be crazies regardless, but LLMs that are tapped into all the ugliness and depravity of a great many crazies from history and present could, theoretically, potentiate, encourage and increase the crazy, malice and cunning of a disturbed individual.
Or maybe I have just been watching too many evil AI sci-fis and it would be really nice and thoughtful and help them engage in social permaculture and peaceful conflict resolution! Who knows!
Either way, I do not trust the things and I see people getting more and more cozy with these Groks and other bots.

There is no answer unless people individually identify with, and form a firm commitment to, their own moral conscience. That’s the challenge. This attempted control grid presents the opportunity for a decision to people who currently self-identify as “human animals.” We all get to decide: Are we clever animals, or are we spiritual beings having a human experience? The oligarchs and their toadies have made their decision, and are so power-hungry that they want to do an end-run around your option to decide otherwise. That’s what AI intends to do, but people WILL find ways to resist, and those who think their algorithmic lockdown will prevent that are just as insane as they are anti-human. Retain moral authority, no matter what. Resistance is never futile!
Lsja, I’ve spent a lot of time pondering that: spiritual beings having a human experience, ever since I watched several years ago James Giordano’s talk on YouTube, “The Brain is the Battlefield of the Future.” I’d also read Annie Jacobsen’s book, “Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government’s Investigations into ESP and Psychokinesis.” Now that they’re doing all sorts of research on mind reading, I’m always open to exploration/research on how one can tap in to some of the vast areas of consciousness of which we are not presently aware. Here’s one article on mind reading research: https://www.army-technology.com/news/news40823-html/. There’s another by MIT, but it’s behind a paywall.

This is an important topic which is clear from what was barely suppressed anger from JC. As is the norm for me I don’t have a lot of time to elaborate on my own views but I have to say that this is a topic I have pondered for a while and I am as always enlightened further by Mr Corbett. Thank you.
The Magna Carta subliminally planted the concept of personal (individual) sovereignty. It has been slowly gaining popularity for 8 centuries using new tech, thanks to individuals/small groups, e.g., the Levelers. It will succeed because it is rational, logical, practical, moral, unlike the only alternative, a superstition called authoritarianism/collectivism.
We may not acknowledge we live by our superior intelligence, not like animals who live by violence, but that is proved by our daily lives and the advancements created by science. We pass on our knowledge, unlike animals. We must keep on doing it, using tech, against those who use tech to deceive, defraud, disarm psychologically. We the honest ones, the ones who value open communication, voluntary governance, personal autonomy, have the advantage morally, and that is what counts because the moral is also the practical.

ejdoyle: “Are you a creator of your reality of follower of someone else’s?” Reality, i.e., existence, is. We don’t create it, we conceive it, when we think. Our conception varies by our cognitive ability and our dedication to knowledge. Some, like myself hold it in high regard, value it over fantasy, whim. Others reject it, avoid it, rely on myth, common opinions, tradition, indoctrination. They “go along to get along”.
Your word play went deeper then I was heading. I was talking about in the whole comment, about the consequences of foolish choices.
Creation/Conceive same thing when thinking in metaphysical terms.
It was to offer a simple observation of one’s life path choices and/or addictions…smoking, sex, alcohol, SMART phones, TV/Movies, fast cars/motorcycles, etc.
My experience with medicine men and women, Shaman, etc. has lead to some wonderful creations of reality for me and others for decades. From healing cancer, depression, and more, as a medicine man (small m) one assists the client to go within and use the power we all have but have been denied through the controller’s assault on free thinking, sacred herbs, etc.
Sounds like you are on a good path. Stay strong and focused.
Very informative Episode. Algocracy can explain why I am running across willfully ignorant manipulated morons running the Libertarian Party of Michigan into the ground. Indeed, they all seem to be “Smart Phone Zombies”. They take their Smart Phone everywhere.
Last October I sat down at a Bar in AA, Michigan with the LPMI State Chair and Vice Chair after a speaking event the Party put on for a Candidate running for the U.S. Senate. I left my dumb phone in my vehicle because I know how these things can track you and record your conversations. (I stopped using the Smart Phone I had about 10 years ago because it became evident that it was spying on me).
Anyway, not only did both of these guys have their Smart Phones with them, which they used while I was talking with them (because they can’t remember shit without it), they both paid their Bill and Tip with Charge Cards. I, of coarse, paid both my Bill and Tip with cash, and instructed to the server to “keep the Change” It was not a “Tip” that need to be reported.
I told these guys why I left my phone in my car and why I used cash, but it seemed to go over their heads. I said “look at you guys, and you are running the Party”. The LPMI VP even gave me a funny look when I told the server that he did not need to report “keeping the change”. He said that he knew the owner of the Bar, I say “so what”.
These guys are controlled and they don’t even know that they are being controlled much less who is controlling them. They do things that are counter to what they appear to believe and they have disenfranchised about half of the State Party Affiliates. From my point of view they could not be doing a better job of destroying the LPMI if they were paid to do so, yet they seem to be working hard at putting on these events and what not. The way I see it, the Libertarian Party has been turned on it’s head, in the same way that Zionists turn everything they do on it’s head.
Indeed, good people have been deceived into doing bad things for a long time, but this Algocracy level of deception is scary as hell. You can lay out the truth right in from of these people and they may nod, but they will not change. They have to be liberated form their Smart Phone before they can be saved, in the same way that a drug addict has to be liberated from the drug that has taken control of them;.
Good luck on liberating your libertarians.
Your anecdote brought to mind my experience with our local truther group. We had been active since 2006. Around 2012 we took on an anti-fluoride campaign, which primarily consisted of making frequent 3 minute presentations to the City Council. We held our weekly meetings in a cheap restaurant. I was disturbed by everyone (but me ) always guzzling huge plastic glasses of fluoridated tap water and other fluoridated drinks. I ended up quitting after they showed their Q Anon stupidity and rigidity, which morphed into full on Trumptardiness.
Alleviating our problems will require a deep change in us, more than clever manipulations of systems or power plays.
As a generalization, we are inevitably decadent from our time as the conquering empire, since WW11.
This will take a while. Our security lies in spiritual treasure.
There is a gatekeeper somewhere custom tailored for every level.
Below is a link to an interview Judge Napolitano did with Professor John Mearsheimer. In this interview Professor Mearsheimer says that Zionism and it’s supporters are the greatest threat to free speech.
Indeed, if the world continues to allow them to continue the Genocide in Gaza, we will all be living under similar conditions in the future. Gaza is a testing ground for all kinds of evil shit, and we had better start speaking out while we still can.

As a programmer, the algorithms will always fail at a certain time/condition.
With AI this is less predictable.
The strength of AI will be in censorship, but it will cause rot in normal use.
The news and government have been following algorithms from the start.
The law is like an algorithm for humans.
The propaganda follows algorithms as a way to “program” people towards a certain opinion.
While people were involved, their decisions were already very machine-like.
It is only since the AI language models that people finally recognize that the algorithms
are controlling a lot of things that should not be controlled by automation.
But the algorithms are already controlling humanity.
SPARS , Steplock, Covid, Global warming, vaccines, are all algorithms following certain programs.
These programs are used to push certain results,
They include media publications and science publications.
I think that the government itself is caught in corruption and crime.
Which are also following certain programs and algorithms.

I’ve just been informed that Google recently removed “for good” from their Ai policy. Honesty is the best policy, at least that’s how the saying goes.
Thanks for another great expose, James. It is mind boggling to me, like so many others in the Corbett community, how people are falling for the AI propaganda hype that is being pushed forward on every front. Here are a few of my observations, and unfortunately, I have no clue as to how to truly opt out of this technocratic algocracy:
1) The roll out of browser searches being AI run is rampant. Brave’s Leo surprised me when it started running the show for that browser. In so many searches I’ve done, the answers received have been blatantly false. When I tell Leo the answers are not true, it says it knows and is sorry for being deceptive. It’s hard to search for anything Real anymore, very frustrating.
2) Every company around me, even my local credit union, is installing AI ‘Customer Service’ to answer and direct all calls. There are no longer direct lines or extensions to humans. It is almost impossible to talk to a human anymore and the AI bots don’t understand anything but the basest of commands. (Example: I tell it I want to dispute a fee, and it chimes back ‘You want an account balance, right”)? When I confront people at local businesses to complain about the horrendous ‘service,’ in person because that’s the only way to talk with a human now, people inevitably make excuses for the AI and shallowly apologize for the inconvenience.
3) There is zero accountability now when AI makes medical, billing, or technical decisions. No human wants to go against it or admit it is extremely faulty with zero ethical or moral standards. Nobody wants to address its flaws.
And these idiotic techno-fucks want all our data in one place??? I’ve had at least 5 places (including medicare, schools, and military) send letters to me or my husband in the last 7 or so years, stating that our data has been compromised.
Sigh… Loosh farm, indeed, is what this is…
Offering this here, as it is somewhat related. I had no idea that Trump had so many WEF and Bilderburg-associated players in his inner circle. Article has short video by Derrick Broze and transcript as posted by Activist Post.

It was yuval harrari who talked about free will being over and that human beings are now hackable animals.
I have been living with my head hacked since September of 2021 and this phenomena is very real. I never took a covid vax and have not had a vaccine since I was young. One doesn’t need a microchip implant for this stuff to work as well.
This coming September will be 4 years of being on this head hacking system. This is a very serious thing of course but in the end it is a battle for free will. It is in conscious awareness that I am able to be aware of the signals that are sent in to influence me. They have tried to take me over a handful of times and control me, I have resisted it every time and yet I have seen people on the streets under control of this technology; and have talked to other victims of it who do fall under its control at times.
From what I have come to learn from this experience is that they now have the ability to peer into anyone head at any time and take an upload of ones mind and then build a profile from it that in turn can be used by the a.i. system to psychologically target you. I say this because I have had things brought up from my past on this system that I was not thinking about and have not thought about in years, from out of the blue.
These data centers they are building is all for housing the digital copies of people both mentally and energetically. The system can make a digital doppelganger of anyone and project it into anyone and make that person feel that they are in a telepathic connection with that person. This system did this to me on a number of occasions with people from my past, using a digital energy body copy and voice samples.
This stuff is highly sophisticated with what it can do and crosses into the “supernatural” realm where it can be used to play on all kinds of superstitions and assumptions, in fact it will use them to “it’s” advantage.
This is sick and psychopathic to say the least but the solution to battling this garbage can tech is to know oneself. The better you know yourself the better you can differentiate yourself from what the system is broadcasting to you. That is one of the things is tries to do is try mask your true self from you with its synthetic entities. The 2nd as I said earlier in this post is to be mindful and aware, the more awareness one has the better and 3rd is to stay as calm as possible with it because it seeks to drag one into negative low fear states.
May this knowledge be helpful to you because the final war is an ultra-sonic war on our minds literally with speed of light energy technology.
There really is a energy spiritual battle being waged right now for our free will, minds and souls!
They are going to use this tech to go after who ever they want including dissidents and when it hits you will know it – keep those 3 things in mind because this tech can disorient you heavily.
A lot of this sounds familiar. September 10th, 2001. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Those you can’t question are those that are power.
Will DOGE go into the Pentagon like what’s being done at State, transportation,energy, education ect…?
Hi, a saying that springs to mind is ‘forearmed is forewarned’ and I have so much gratitude that James is one of those articulate and intelligent “John the Baptist” voices ‘crying in the Wilderness’, alerting us to the dangers of modern life. My approach is somewhat difference from many people in that as an artist and creative person my response is to create Beauty where and when I can in my little corner of the world in the hope that this will keep me sane and also have some healing and integrating effects on my community I touch through my work, music animation/tai chi/architecture/community conservation. An offering of small seeds which I hope will help nurture Truth, Unity and Beauty in spite of the system I am forced to survive in here in a large city. Hope springs eternal.
“…and we don’t have anything like that outside of China.”
Here, we see Musk revealing himself as one of they-them-those by referencing they-them-those using the plural nominative first person.
To those cheering the purge of government workers, especially the IRS, I’ve said they’re making way for robo.gov to audit your tax return and determine your right to live. And there will be no one to argue with.
Your video, James, shows the game to be much more insidious and, as you say, for all the marbles.
But I would say that Trump and the Musky One are doing those of us who design system change an indispensable service. For two decades, people have told me, “These are great ideas but how are they ever going to happen? Huh?” and then stopped engaging with them as pie in the sky, while practical matters loom.
With every day of this administration, their practical solutions evaporate. Those most opposed to a radically decentralized economy were those employed by the (so-called) federal gov’t. Poof!
The precarious high-stress lives that were barely tolerable are crossing over into intolerable. And suddenly, my research into how they’ve done this to other countries and regions is all too relevant.
I’ve been reading my book, How to Dismantle an Empire, into my stack. The first section, that goes into the anthropology and twin psyops of money and democracy is compiled here: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/section-one-pieces-of-slave.
Section two, called Two Ways to Make a Slave, covers the last 500 years of colonization. But I starts with the sovereign money of Ben Franklin, on which my system is based: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/05-the-short-eventful-life-of-sovereign.
I will begin reading the third section, called World on FIRE, this week. It looks at Libya, Greece and the Petropocalypse. The fourth section, Attack of the Petrodactyls, examines Detroit, derivatives, bail-ins, interest rates, tax havens and other methods of financial terrorism.
The final two sections move into the future. I have exercises in system change in What If Money Was No Object? and I look at the right size for sovereignty in World Without Ends. The last section, The Community Cash Cow, lays the framework for my caret system to distribute the mortgages as targeted dividends for local food, wellcare, education, home improvement and community projects.
This is in preparation for the second book, How to Build a Commonwealth.
It’s not possible to explain how we could replace the global economy in a comment box, but I would like to send you an e-version of my book to be considered for a Solutions Watch episode. My email is tereza at my domain thirdparadigm.org. Thank you!
Another example of government over-reach in Ireland, whereby a teacher in a school who refused to use a student’s preferred personal pronouns was stripped of his salary and savings by the court. No AI involved, only tyranny of the court, in this case.
Orwellian: Irish Court Seizes Cash of Teacher Denying Trans Ideology

What a joke.

He said the reason Mr Burke had spent so long in Mountjoy Prison, and was in this position, was because of his “total and utter rejection of the norms of a civilised society to abide by the rule of law.”
Enoch Burge, that’s an interesting name/family name combo. I’d say this fella made it easy for his enemies to put him in a difficult position. But the entire affair is a travesty. I remember watching a video of his arrest a couple of years ago.
I am always surprised that few people talk about a very good dystopian book, perhaps better than 1984 or than Brave New World, in fact more appropriate to what we’re leaving now: This Perfect Day (Ira Levin, 1970).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Perfect_Day?wprov=sfti1
Pitch:
The world is managed by a central computer called UniComp (referred as just “Uni” in speech), which has been programmed to keep every single human on the surface of the Earth in check. People living under the “Unification” are continually drugged by means of monthly treatments (delivered via transdermal spray or jet injector) so that they will remain satisfied and co-operative “Family members.” They are told where to live, when to eat, whom to marry, when to reproduce, and the job for which they will be trained. Everyone is assigned a counselor, who acts somewhat like a mentor, confessor, and parole agent; violations against “brothers” and “sisters” by themselves and others are expected to be reported at a weekly confession.
Everyone wears a permanent identifying bracelet that interfaces with access points, which act as scanners. Uni uses them to tell “Family members” where they are allowed to go and what they are allowed to do.
Please read it because the end that I will not spoil here says a lot about what is genuinely AI: a way of disguising reality of dominance hierarchy by telling the myth of efficiency to organize a better world…
But who write the code?
They will answer: “AI itself”
A subtile way to avoid the reality: who finances the designers of the program?
Who decide the elementary targets, values, parameters?
What AI make is to make everything faster so we can’t see who has a real interest on each decision.
This was since always a predictable evolution of expansionism and the only goal is for some people to maintain their dominance whatever the coast on what make human beings so special: the manage with uncertainty, and as Emmanuel Kant said: “ Intelligence is measured by an individual’s ability to withstand uncertainty.”
Exactly what isn’t AI…
Here’s at least one good news and certainly a possible solution; Libgen is BACK, baby.

The solution to AI interference with social media and our core social institutions is the next phase of the computer/Internet/AI revolution; after prior emphasis on ‘hardware’ (IBM), ‘software’ (Microsoft), and then ‘netware’ (Andreessen’s Netscape) – is ‘heartware’ . I first introduced this universal interface for global interaction 51 years ago to 10 agencies of Fed-Gov on Capitol Hill;

So AI Israel, what happened to your ultra-sophisticated AI technology on Oct 7, 2023? Let you down a tad, did it? How could that possibly be?
Isn’t AI so almighty, so powerful, so all-seeing, all-knowing?
How could it have possibly been compromised for hours while Hamas breached 119 border locations and rampaged across your country?
Kind of stretches credulity doesn’t it?
James asked: “What do we do with this information?”
For starters, stop complying…
– with banks, businesses, governments etc. that insist we must use multi-layers of security in order to gain access to their services. “One-time pass codes” delivered to your digital device etc.
– with automobile companies that keep layering more and more tracking devices inside your cars.
– with businesses that insist we must be video-recorded inside their stores and at their check-out counters.
…
I can’t help you with the other ones but on cars you can do a lot to stop or limit tracking according to two interviews on watchman privacy podcast

Thanks Duck.
As I mentioned in a post a few months ago I had to take matters into my own hands to rid my new car of as much of its spying technology as I could. My dealer was not going to help me at all.
Possible “solution” other than salting the data or attempting the totally “off-grid” approach which , if achieved , means you no longer connect with those of us trying to find solutions; Create several “invented” languages that we pass to one another via mail (not digital…while it still exists), including a numerical system (maybe base 12 ..not 10), and use these for communication amongst us. Wild and wacky I know, but it may help. I know JEP does it on his Media Monarchy by compounding words (e.g. crisitunity) and this may help in confusing “AI”, but an entire language not based on existing ones would require code-breaking.
