Update On The Battery Factory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3mJEOI21OU
It seems these Brits are on the cusp of a battery revolution. They aim to start production of super capacitors with energy density of a lead battery or better in some 6 weeks time. At first the production is aimed to be some 3 kWH per day (your standard car battery is about 0.4 kWH), but if this thing turns the right way I kid you not, there are going to be some tectonic moves in the industry.
Oh yes, I forgot maybe the sweetest thing about it – they’ll be making these batteries out of old car tires. Yes, lets see battery manufacturers weasel their asses out of this one. “What do you mean by eco friendly, copious supply of materials i.e. toxic trash, cheaper and more durable i.e. last you a lifetime?”
I recommend these people not to ride any airplanes for a while.
Cool!

Add a machine gun with some sort of autoleveling system and you get 28.3mph fast machine gun grazing fire.

I am a peaceful man. Yet when I see these machines I want to reach for the shotgun I do not have.
Am I wrong for this?
Non aggression principle does not apply to robots. Sort of.

Beautiful choice of clips. I live on the Isle of Wight just a few miles from Blackgang Chine.
Nice too be informed of the A.I. beachhead there 🙂
louis,
That is so cool.
There really are Corbett members from all around the globe.
I like that.
There is nothing wrong with having a survival instinct.
Some people might say there is, but they are all dead. So their opinion doesn’t count.
Classic statement. Profound in its fundamental simplicity.
I don’t know if you are wrong or not, but I kind of feel the same way.
They are going to have to get their act together very fast with these robots in laying out the rules such as:
-Will robots have rights?
-If so will they have the same rights as humans?
-What if you accidentally bump into a robot and cause it to break apart?
-What if you find a robot annoying, try to mess with its circuitry and they give you a kick in the butt? Can you sue them? If so, who do you sue? The robot owner? The manufacturer? The landlord who is allowing the robot to roam on their premises?
– etc. etc.
give peace a chance…

For anyone that knows; Does James Corbett have an independent server? How is this a protection from censorship. I remember bandwidth for sale when Williams Communications had just installed optic cable in all the pipelines under their control. Bandwidth was for sale and having your own server was desired. However I never got the significance. It probably is a silly question for this crowd but Im trying to connect some dots of Abby Martin and Zain Raza at acTVism Munich. The physical internet or WWW is out focus for inquiring minds. It could just be me.
Is a robot an independent server on wheels?
James does appear to be paying for private server space. Regarding censorship this is better since it’s harder to take down content on a private server than it is on a social network or anything like there. There is obvious collusion between these sites, life facebook and twitter.
To delete content on a private server, someone would need to get in contact with the company which owns the server, then come up with a plausible explanation and possibly a court order to have the content deleted. Much of this depends on the company in question and how cooperative would they be. If they have business interests in mind, they probably wouldn’t be very cooperative, but there were cases where people were put in a vice about handing content over.

== Where are the hot bots? ==
I was a dirty young man.
I’m now a dirty middle aged man.
I fully intend to be a dirty old man.
Why must they make “cute” bots? Certainly they can make sexy anime bots or whatever that don’t need to creep you out in the uncanny valley. Imagine Betty Rubble or your favourite sexy cartoon taking care of your “needs”.
Just sayin.
== Off Topic – IPFS ==
Please do a show about IPFS. So far as I see it IPFS may be the Free-Internet 2.0 we’ve all been waiting for. The InterPlanetary File System (stupid name from sci-fi origins) may be the best decentralized solution “they” don’t want us to know about.
I have not been impressed with BitChute, no matter how much Corbett promotes it. Two years ago I was trying to get into ZeroNet but it wasn’t a 100% solution. About a year ago I had actually started writing an article for Steemit warning of all of the flaws of current systems etc. when I was introduced to IPFS by Vin Armani. It has some limitations and is still in alpha stages of development – but I think it’s the best thing so far – and it also integrates with D-Tube. (I still think Steemit is a rigged pyramid scheme.) I don’t know but I hope IPFS and ZeroNet can co-exist together somehow (ie. share common files).
I have dreams of Corbett adding his site to IPFS (perhaps layered in/with ZeroNet) and me helping to “host” his site along with countless other sites and hosts.
Vin Armani did some IPFS tutorials on it. I beg you James to consider doing something similar.
If anyone has any criticism (constructive, negative, or otherwise) about IPFS or ZeroNet I’d love to hear about it.
== Off Topic – Zoon Politikon ==
Please do a show with Holly Seeliger, the Zoon Politikon. She’s certainly a fan of yours and is a wonderful source of material. She’s often monotone and doesn’t do edited videos like yours (she doesn’t have the tech savvy) but she finds excellent content to cover. She’s an agoristic atheistic Green progressive truther (my nutshell not hers). Also, she’d collaborated with other like-minded folks, from Sane Progressive and Cabin Talk to LogosMedia (formerly GnosticMedia) with an in-depth study into the Zionist connections to the Salem witch “thing” and the re-written history in popular culture today.
I started animating an intro for her show but it drifted to the back burner and I’ve been busy with other stuff, as apparently she has. I should finish it.
Peace out,
~ Jason
Also, FYI, last year it took a couple of months of researching and correspondence until Holly and I found music we were both nothing less than super enthusiastic about. I edited this track down to it’s core essence before storyboarding and animating (unfinished) the short intro for Zoon Politikon, so if you’re curious and wonder what may come (if I ever finish the anti-establishment piece)…

== Wikipedia soft/hard censorship of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies ==
I was astounded to find there is no Wikipedia article on D-Tube like there is BitChute, IPFS, and Steemit. So for the time being I added a redirect to the IPFS article where I reworked a paragraph from the Steemit article which was one of the only two DTube mentions on Wikipedia. Then it got reverted. WTF!!!
The guy who reverted it claimed it was “Non-notable addition, links back here, referenced to pay-for-coverage site.”
So I asked why (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:David_Gerard#DTube) and it turns out that everything related to blockchain and cryptocurrency is highly suspect as scams and has to go through extra steps.
This is the notice I recieved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JasonCarswell#InterPlanetary_File_System
It pointed to this policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Blockchain_and_cryptocurrencies
If anyone cares about D-Tube being featured on Wikipedia let me know and help me find out, “Does DTube have coverage in reliable sources that aren’t bitcoin blogs?”
I think D-Tube and IPFS are more of freedom of speech/information sharing issues than the Wikipedia censorship excuse: fear of crypto-scamming. (Or their standard: It has to be mainstream, not “fringe”, before we can acknowledge it. As if they haven’t got tonnes of ridic fringe shit already.)
PLEASE DO A SHOW ON IPFS !
I really think it’s one of the great solutions we’ve all been waiting for. If I’m wrong I’d like to know where/why/how.
Also, FYI, Wikipedia censors their articles. Duh.
So if you compare:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
to:
https://infogalactic.com/info/InterPlanetary_File_System
You’ll find more information I’ve “rescued” from the censors in the second article.
But like the https://infogalactic.com/info/James_Corbett_(journalist) article, I haven’t updated it in a while.
Proposal for propaganda watch:
YouTube Videos like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJFtdvrTZs4
Can We Block the Sun to Stop Climate Change
Channel: Real Engineering, 1,4 Mio. subscribers, from 26.10.18 as I write 160k views
and their is a guy featured who explains the most of the stuff
he has a video on his channel Simon Clark, 166k subs:
Economics PhD students predict the next big thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qMcDQd17Y4
“I am here at the invitation of the European Central Bank.”
Oh great :)!
Youtube in general with propaganda
from vox (using cfr material) to big think to many other channels and topics
cloaked in a well crafted appearance of professionalism, research and scientific approach
this is – imo – the most professional form of propaganda
This reminds me of Highlander movie in which the sun was blocked out. Also the matrix, of course. Maybe there’s some rationale to the loguc, but I haven’t had the fortitude to watch the whole thing.
However, a great propagandawatch specimen for sure. James will probably have to take some motion sickness pills to go through with it.
I have no idea what you’re insinuating there, whatever could you mean.
I don’t know what the big deal is.
Block the sun – who cares?
Spray the atmosphere – at least you get better spying and targeting communications.
Then you can decrease the overpopulation with humanitarian bombs as they are starving anyway since food no longer grows.
Better still – lets execute all old people. They’re old due to technology but we can solve that. Useless eaters (and voters).
You had my vote until the end.
Old people, you know, anyone over 30 that can think for themselves.
Old people, you know, anyone over 30 that can think for themselves.
Well, I guess I better pick up a claim slip.
Old Lodge Skins…

“It makes my heart sad. A world without *Human Beings has no center to it….”
5 minute “Checking Out Speech”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93PBNHXXWWs
****Human Beings
Old Lodge Skins: Because there is no other way to deal with the White Man, my son. Whatever else you can say about them, it must be admitted: you cannot get rid of them.
Jack Crabb: No, I suppose not, grandfather.
Old Lodge Skins: There is an endless supply of White Man. But there always has been a limited number of Human Beings.

“Little Big Man” (1970) is one of my top favorite movies.
QUOTES from the movie.
(Some gems)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065988/quotes
Over 30, like Logan’s Run. Remake?
So for Shalloween I was running around telling people I was from the future and started describing the perpetual wars, prison, slavery, or debt slavery over most of the planet making devices that captured most of our attention so we’d not be aware of the propaganda, ways we were getting screwed and the perpetual wars… Then I’d say it’s been at least 17 years of war now, and nobody notices, nobody cares… hey what year is it? 2018? Oh my gawd, I’ve come back to where I started!!!
== Truther Cinema Recommendations ==
Have you seen these documentaries:
The Bleeding Edge (2018)
– about virtually unregulated medical devices.
Three Identical Strangers (2018)
– about Jew on Jew crime, like Dr. Nazi shit, layers deep.
Or these classic spycraft movies:
The Little Drummer Girl (1984)
– weakly acted but good script about Mossad spycraft.
Hidden Agenda (1990)
– about police spycraft in Northern Ireland.
Paradise Now (2005)
– a day in the hard life of Palestinians.
They rarely make these kind of movie anymore. I’d love a Corbett review of any of these.
== Wormwood ! ! ! ==
Just watched it.
“Wormwood is a 2017 American six-part docudrama miniseries directed by Errol Morris and released on Netflix on December 15, 2017. The series is based on the life of a scientist, Frank Olson, who participated in a secret government biological warfare program (Project MKUltra).” ~ Wikipedia
I posted on Fanedit.org:
”
It’s a great 6-part mini-series that artfully combines bio-drama featuring familiar Hollywood faces combined with interviews and documentary, but the most common criticism is that it’s too long and could have been effectively covered in a regular documentary. I like it as is though I kinda agree, though I don’t know if one feature would cover it well.
I don’t know how well you can edit/mix around the music. Perhaps you’d need to jolt folks in and out of other “modes” by creative sound redesign combined with new edits. Errol Morris has used Philip Glass and other good music in the past, but I’m not impressed with this one.
There’s a lot to play with here if you really wanted to get creative or even wacky.
Starting simply you could isolate the historical recreation bio-drama with the celebs – or – you could isolate the documentary aspect without the drama and still be very interesting and effective.
From another angle, you could focus on the 1950s aspect of it and perhaps cut it with other movies of that period for an entirely new narrative.
From another angle, you could focus on the famous faces and cut in clips from their other role for something potentially a little more wacky.
From another angle, you could focus on the MK Ultra aspect and cut together clips from LOTS of CIA, mind control, conspiracy theory, and truther movies. Pop that on YouTube and there’s whole communities and huge audiences that would love it.
”
I REALLY hope someone makes it even better in a new edit or few.
TurboTax Live 2019 Super Bowl Teaser “RoboChild” (Official :30) TV ad

This AI propaganda is truly sickening. That they are trying so hard to make it cool and acceptable to people just makes me sick to my stomach. And what better way to reach millions of people than Super Bowl ads.
Dang! I’m gonna have nightmares tonight.
Those ads will make me swear off watching football games.
(Well, actually, I don’t watch much football.)
