I never thought that in my life time that I would be entertaining the following word to describe America.

FASCISM.

Once we can’t be certain about ANYTHING that uses the internet, it’s lost most of its usability and humans have lost control of its content.

It is obvious that the balance of power will be between human and non-human in the future of internet space.

In the mean time should we be asking, are we now witnessing the emergence of a Fascia’s American.

Which appears to be not in the so distant future.

From the beginning, fascism has been an incoherent doctrine, and even today scholars can’t agree on its definition.

Italy’s original version differed from Germany’s, which differed from Spain’s, which differed from Japan’s, all of which will differed from the to come Ai versions.

But all forms of Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With non democratic elections, not a coup but with Far Right rhetoric which unfortunately we are also once again beginning to raise its ugly head in Germany.

It takes hold thanks to people who like the Donald Trumps of this world think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

Fascism use to be is a way to take political grievance, shared by members of a dominant group in society, and mobilize it against some supposed “enemy,”

However Populist leaders like the Donald Trumps stretch the ground rules of democracy, allowing fascists to take things further.

They change the rules, seize absolute power, and destroy those seen as foes, using violence if need be.

Trump is definitely an authoritarian, and unquestionably a patrimonialist. Beyond that, though, the best description seemed to be a psychologic one.

He listens to Putin, he listens to Xi, he listens to how they talk about governing unburdened by uncooperative legislatures, unconcerned with what the judiciary may do, and he thinks to himself.

Why can’t I do that? 

This doesn’t amount to being a fascist, in my view, [or] having a theory of how you want to govern.

It’s just Why can’t I have the same fun they have?

The race to power AI is already remaking the physical world.

Before the United States attacked Iran, crude oil was trading at around $65 a barrel. Yesterday it hovered in the $90 to $100 range.

How much higher could it go?

200$ a barrel!

In that scenario, sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China.

In a world spiraling into war, with AI rising and jobs falling, it’s easy to miss the little things.

What needs to be understood is that when you launch a war you don’t just own the first bomb/ missile you own everything else that happens after that bomb/missile has exploded.

This is the Pandora’s box that has been opened up and now there is no alternative than we are now looking at a world economic earthquake that involves not just the economic but our very survival.

This crisis is no longer about death but about OIL that fuels that produces the capitalist economics system of inequality.

It becoming quite clear ( that the loss of life which is called collateral damage as it always is called in a a war ) is irrelevant.

We seeing reports after report that are exposing ( on the back of recent wars ) the fusion of war – making and markets manipulation which isn’t entirely without precedent

It’s common knowledge that wars are both bad and good for profit but because our world is reliant on energy to produce almost everything.

Markets are facing the biggest shortfall in HISTORY: bigger than the Arab Oil Embargo, Iran’s Islamic Revolution, and the Kuwait invasion COMBINED.

While Cost of Living Soars, Trump is spending $1 Billion Per Day in War of Choice With Iran.

President Trump ordered the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the U.S.’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve on Wednesday.

While 32 Member countries of the International Energy Agency unanimously agreed today to release 400 million barrel.

Even the Russia/ Ukraine war revolves around Oil.

The Venezuela dictator removal was blatantly related to oil not drugs trafficking.

The attempt to annex Greenland was and is nothing to do defence. More to do with what’s underneath its ice.

Cuba’s turn.

Less than two months after imposing a brutal oil blockade on the island in order to maximize pressure on the government, President Trump is now bragging that the Cuban regime is on the verge of collapse and that its leaders want to “make a deal.

You could not be blamed for thinking that all these war are billionaires wars.

Just thinking of what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

We are all now being abused by Donald Trump. It’s time we tell him for the lack of a better word to F—-off.

When you see Putin helping Iran while Donald Trump relaxing sanctions on Russia on selling its oil it’s beyond belief.

We criticised Russia for invading Ukraine and now here we are watching the USA attacking Iran, at the whim of Israel that has only one objective to dominate the region.

You can’t put the Genie back in the bottle. Iran has been preparing for a long time for a long war.

The capacity to live upon the earth has been increased dramatically with drugs.

We’re not born with a best before date and we all know that eternal youth is the stuff of religion and mythology.

Luckily most of us also do not have an expiry date set in stone.

Aging happens to all of us, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for low energy, brain fog, or a body that doesn’t perform the way you need it to.

We all face getting old, existing on a diet of dietary supplements and pill with side effects.

Aging is not a disease.

Learning to live with aging involves a whole raft of biological changes and the number of years that people can live well without disease is determined the build-up of tired, worn-out cells.

Those of us who make it into the 100th are still few.

——————-

While you can’t stop time, you can take control of how you age. 

AGI might some day transcends our biological boundaries with drugs.

According to the current medical paradigm, ageing is not something that needs to be treated. This is obviously true as it cannot be prevented but extending one’s while getting older is not being properly explored. 

Not all supplements are created equal.

Many products on the market are filled with fillers, low-quality ingredients, and unnecessary additives.

Remember that longevity is highly personalized—what your body needs depends on your diet, genetics, medications, and activity level.

Think of supplements as a tool to enhance your health and longevity, tailored to support your unique biology, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Every day, millions of people insulin to control their type 2 Diabetes never mind Insulin – Smallpox Vaccine – Ether – Morphine – Aspirin – AZT – Birth Control Pills.

But they don’t quite nail it., you still age.

Here is the good news.

Treatments to slow, stop, or reverse ageing is no longer the stuff of science fiction, and could be less than a decade away.

Metformin could become the first authorised anti-ageing drug with the ability to not just prolong life, but to prolong a healthy life. 

In the meantime we spent trillions on medicines from drug to pills to avoid to develop a major age-related disease, such as dementia or stroke.

Ageing really is something that can be targeted and treated with drugs but unlike most medical treatments it is not preventable.

The secret is not to disappear down the hole of self, but to stay in touch with your friends, your community, your interests.

ENOUGH TO PROTECT HUMANITY.

The world isn’t ready for the radical transformation AI will bring.

AI systems process and store information thousands of times greater than a human brain. As these systems continue to absorb ever-larger data sets, they could soon surpass human cognition altogether.

Once that happens, we will may no longer understand how AIs think—or what goals they might set for themselves.

If machines reach or surpass human intelligence, every law will be not worth the paper it’s written on.

AIs could one day develop their own subgoals.

  1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
  4. None of these laws can be be enforced

Because the question will be who decides what is harmful.

Because what happens if a robot finds something far more important like protecting its own existence, than protecting humans.

Because how or who decides what is injurious, or not injurious, to humanity as a whole?

Apart from practical laws that govern robotics working alongside human beings who will be exposed to low doses of radiation robots.

They will be ungovernable. So all robots will have to have a termination code built into them.

Some advanced AI systems are now rewriting their own code to avoid being turned off. What started as a routine test quickly exposed behavior no one expected — one model even altered a key script to stay online.

Once it becomes uncontrollable, AI will be a threat to social relations and employment, and an accelerator of asymmetric warfare.

Today’s tech giants are already reckless and will lose control of the very systems they are creating.

Roman Yampolskiy predicts there’s a 99.9% chance that artificial general intelligence will wipe out humanity within the next century.

It’s now or never we ensure that the values of humanity are enshrined.

It is not how dangerous this war is going to be to the Middle East, rather the signals it is sending to the rest of the world.

If you think accommodating a USA base gives one protection you need to think again.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions began under the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, with support from the United States and Western Europe.

In 1957, Iran and the US signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement as part of President Dwight Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” program.

Only self defense against a prior armed attack across as international border legally justifies a claim of self-defense.

(Absent this, all threats, as well as uses of force, are considered severe violations of international law, which is and has been shown in all wars to be pie in the sky.)

Surely it’s not necessary to refer to previous wars conducted in the last century to realise that you cannot defeat a people whether you bomb them from here to kingdom come.

The current war in the Ukraine is another example.

Military might no longer matters in wars that are conducted by Missiles and drones.

———————

Iran and Russia are strategic allies and form an axis in the Caucasus alongside Armenia.

Iran and Russia are also military allies in the conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine; and partners in Afghanistan and post-Soviet Central Asia. The Russian Federation is also the chief supplier of arms and weaponry to Iran.

China and Pakistan have also emerged as friends of Iran;

Already the conflict is resulting in a horrific toll of dead and injured, major environmental destruction, large scale forced migration, world-wide recession, as well as producing other equally dangerous and unintended consequences.

All of which contribute to the immiseration and increasingly forced migration of millions of people across the region and the unjustified repression of their legitimate aspirations for freedom, justice, democracy and sustainable development.

Indeed, absent a valid claim of self-defense any attack on Iran, never mind a full-scale invasion and occupation by the United States, violates the core articles of the UN Charter (Articles 2(4), 33, 39 & 51) as well as the legal imperative to seek a peaceful settlement of all international disputes. 

Donald Trump this time has bitten off more than Boots on the ground can handle or win.

Even with the cheque book of the Oligarchs like the Adelsons the outcome of this war is not written in stone or regime change.

The world is now being held hostage to its values.

They say we learn from our mistakes, and that if we don’t history repeats itself.

This could be true, but the unborn are not responsible for past history or our mistakes.

So should we be teaching them about the horrors of our species- wars – brutality and the like.

I suppose there is an argument to both sides.

They should be made aware of our past both in its glory and its barbarity.

For example:

Germans should never be allowed to sweep under the carpet its Nazism.

The Japanese should never be allowed to forget their treatment of prisoners.

The British should never be allowed to deny their imperialism and slavery.

The USA should never be allowed to defend their support of ethnic cleansing and support of Israel Genocides.

Not forgetting Dictators such as, Stalin – Pol Pot – Franco – Tojo – Mao all mass killers.

If you want to cure a patient, you must first diagnose the disease.

If you can’t explain it to a 10-year old, you don’t understand it yourself” – Einstein.

Life rarely follows the images it creates.

The achievements of the earliest civilizations – an overview of where and when the first civilizations appeared and a depth study of one of the following: Ancient Sumer; The Indus Valley; Ancient Egypt; The Shang Dynasty of Ancient China.

The list is endless, but how far back should we go.

Crucially, we don’t just cover our own history.

In Europe from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

The US, we only have to go back 250 years,

The six “historical thinking concepts” are: 

Historical significance, primary source evidence, continuity and change, cause and consequence, historical perspectives and ethical dimensions. Together, these concepts form the basis of historical inquiry.

Peter Sexias defines the ethical dimension of historical interpretation as: “how we, in the present, judge actors in different circumstances in the past; how various interpretations of the past reflect different moral stances today; and when and how crimes of the past bear consequences today” 

The ethical implications of various human actions and behaviours.

The 100 Most Significant Figures in History

  • Jesus.
  • Napoleon.
  • Muhammad.
  • William Shakespeare.
  • Abraham Lincoln.
  • George Washington.
  • Adolf Hitler.
  • Aristotle.

Too many people these days are living fragmented lives, more like an existence rather than living with purpose, meaning, and satisfaction.

Stop watching the news, get off social media and get outside.

When you need to vote, listen to the policies and make a decision without having algorithm driven, fear, fogging your brain.

No matter how one looks at the state of our countries, our governments, our institutions, our politicians, the world and its Leaders, or technology is governing the Iran war with us going head first into an insane mess.

Air power can and can’t do — it can devastate a regime, but it can’t replace one, and what we’ve likely unleashed is a chaotic internal struggle with no clear plan for what comes next.

This is about trump and netanyahu trying to cover their asses and protect their wealth.

They are both deeply involved in criminal and inhumane activities. This war deflects attention away from that.

Look at the history and the timing.

The primary principle at work is the separation of powers for the purpose of preserving our liberties and freedoms to exercising power for threatening aggression.

There is more concern about the supply of energy, than the deaths of Iranians.

The real vulnerability of the global energy system is not the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman.

It is the fragile network of infrastructure that surrounds it.

And as the current crisis makes clear, that network may prove far easier to disrupt than the Strait itself.

This is a clever strategy.

————————

Ukraine’s war with Russia has rewritten the rules of combat.

Wars are now asymmetric.

The proliferation of robotics and autonomous systems is altering the character of modern conflict.

Drones armed with explosives strike with pinpoint accuracy, followed by a kamikaze robot that breached the enemy’s defences

Troops surrendered—not to humans, but to machines.

As these technologies change how we fight, what we fight with, and how we perceive our adversaries,. Combat is conducted from secure, remote locations, minimizing direct human exposure to danger.

Moreover, by automating routine tasks, these systems also reduce the cognitive burden on commanders.

This allows leaders to focus on critical decision-making and command larger, more dispersed formations with greater agility.

———————-

Perhaps the most profound change is in the human dimension of conflict.

The danger zone far beyond the front lines,

Simultaneously, these systems are altering the psychology of those who operate them.

Drone piloting interfaces, often resembling video games, create a sense of detachment from the battlefield.

This gamification of warfare distances combatants from the visceral reality of combat, raising some ethical questions.

Delegating life-and-death decisions to machines creates a potential accountability gap, blurring the lines of responsibility for actions taken.

No longer does success depend on flesh and blood, but on silicon and steel.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS THERE ARE NINE COUNTRIES WITH NUCLEAR POWER.

Tags

,

The United States, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea.

Only 5 of them are permitted nuclear weapon states under the NPT: 

There were an estimated 70,374 nuclear warheads worldwide in 1986.

80% of warheads are held by just two: Russia and the United States.

99.99% of the world are people just trying to live their lives and pursue personal happiness. The other 0.01% (whom we call our “leaders”) like to tell us that we are at war.

The hypocrisy and entitlement of two of the most dangerous and violent nuclear-armed nations telling another country not to develop nuclear weapons could not be more self righteous.

For Iran, a nuclear weapon — an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction by its very nature — is deemed to be religiously impermissible.

If there’s any country that should be stopped from having nuclear weapons, it’s Israel — a rogue nation defying all international conventions to in order to carry out a bloody genocide and expand its borders.

Its nuclear threat is the one we should be taking seriously.

If Israel and the United States were truly concerned about the threat and danger of nuclear weapons, they wouldn’t be bombing Iran’s nuclear sites and risking the spread of deadly nuclear radiation in the region. 

This is Trump derangement syndrome.

The whole irony of dropping nuclear bombs on Iran to destroy nuclear bombs is beyond belief.

Over the last century, we’ve watched as the United States has carried out countless “regime change” operation across the globe.

These U.S.-engineered coups have destabilized nations, subverted democracy and made the world a more dangerous place — often in the name of democracy, national security and world peace.

Israel, a country that is actively committing genocide against the Palestinians, has blatantly violated the rules and norms of warfare by killing Gaza civilians en masse and attacking five of its neighboring countries just this year. 

Israel stole highly enriched uranium from a nuclear facility in Pennsylvania in the 1960s. Successive U.S. presidents turned a blind eye and have since avoided questions about Israel’s nuclear program and deliberately ignored its own intelligence about it.

Israel has so far unleashed some 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza, equivalent to six Hiroshimas. Yet we’re told that Iran is the threat to the Middle East.

All of this is nothing new it has been going on for years and will end in disaster.

The intention consequences will be civil wars resulting in death away beyond armed terrorists forces.

All of this undermines international efforts to curb the spread of nuclear weapons., as to be invasion-proof one will have to have nuclear weapons.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS: WITH THE IRAN WAR WE ARE ONCE AGAIN WITNESSING IMPERIAL BLOWBACK.

Here is the real reason for the Iran war and many other wars.

When Donald Trump said “ this is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with “

He was correct because Churchill in 1953, during his second premiership, Britain and the US supported a covert operation that overthrew Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and restored the authority of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

The coup was organised largely by the CIA, under the direction of Kermit Roosevelt Jr., but Churchill enthusiastically backed the plan.

——————

What we are witnessing now with the outbreak of war in Iran is fascism unbound, armed with military force and insulated with media complicity.

The deeper crisis is American imperialism at a stage so aggressive, so openly criminal, that it no longer feels compelled to cloak its ambitions in the language of diplomacy or democracy.

In this moment, imperial power has chosen an uneducated fascist demagogue as its ideal spokesperson, a figure whose vulgarity mirrors the nakedness of the project he represents.

What is taking shape is a new apparatus of colonial terror, where power, social media, and everyday life collapse into a single machinery of consent, training the public to see violence as spectacle and domination as normal.

It is imperial power acting without disguise, announcing that domination, plunder, and regime change are no longer covert operations but public policy.

History does not repeat itself mechanically, but it does return with new uniforms, new slogans, and the same deadly imperial ambitions.

Violence does not generate peace. It generates violence.

——————-

This imperial aggression mirrors the logic of an Adolf doctrine called Lebensraum.

A racist and expansionist ideology that justified conquest, terror, and annexation in the name of national destiny.

Donald Trump declaring that he will decide who will be the next leader in Iran is a declaration of imperial intent, a signal that the United States now claims the right to decide which governments may exist and which must be eliminated.

This declaration like in Venezuela is an open admission of support for the fusion of state violence, corporate plunder, and imperial entitlement.

It is conquest no longer disguised as security policy but authoritarianism power that no longer bothers to conceal its motives, and where the extraction of wealth replaces ideology as the naked logic of domination.

( Today, that logic has metastasized. We now live in an era in which what serves Chevron, ExxonMobil, and the oil and arms)

Trump rehearsed this logic at home with ICE before exporting it abroad.

The assault on Venezuela follows the same script, a belief that violence, when sufficiently spectacular, can substitute for legitimacy, and that domination itself is proof of sovereignty.

It is an attempt to ‘normalize’ and ‘justify’ gangsterism.

We now have newscasts trafficked in images of people dancing in the streets, staging public jubilation around what is in fact, a spectacularized violation of both international and domestic law.

Repressive imperial power has become visceral and ocular.

State terrorism is no longer merely enforced by violence, it is normalized and taught, rendered legitimate through a form of pedagogical terrorism produced and circulated by nearly the entire corporate media apparatus.

——————-

There was no scrutiny of the fabricated claims that Venezuela was plotting an invasion of the United States or serving as the epicenter of drug trafficking, assertions long discredited but endlessly recycled to justify imperial violence.

Nor, crucially, was there any acknowledgment of Trump’s staggering hypocrisy:

While declaring a war on drugs in the name of national security, he pardoned one of the most notorious narcotics traffickers ever prosecuted in the United States.

A notorious drug deal call Juan Orlaando Hernandez described by prosecutors as a central figure in an eighteen-year operation that flooded the U.S. with more than 400 tons of cocaine.

The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of failed states, warlords, rogue imperial powers and perpetual violence and chaos. 

If there is one lesson we should have learned from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya, it is that regime change spawns Frankensteinian monsters of our own creation.

Silence by other countries and world organisations is not neutrality. It is complicity, and in an age of disappearing laws and vanishing lives, it is a complicity that history will recognize for what it is, an updated version of the worst horrors of the past.

———————

The overthrow of Mosaddegh became one of the central grievances invoked by Iran’s revolutionary leaders after the Iranian revolution.

Since 1979, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly invoked foreign intervention – particularly the Anglo-American coup – to legitimise its rule and to portray itself as the defender of Iranian sovereignty against external domination.

So we that is American need to recognise that Iran’s political system has been forged in the memory of past foreign interventions – and that any new conflict would risk reinforcing the very forces it seeks to weaken.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: IS IT TRUE THAT THE BRITISH MONARCHY CANNOT BE SCRUTINISE BY PARLIAMENT.

With the Esptine files we hear,

“ Nobody is above the law.”

The King reigns, but he does not rule however as monarchy.

King Charles is protected by sovereign immunity, a constitutional principle exempting him from all criminal and civil liability.

He is the UK head of state and head of the Commonwealth. His powers are largely symbolic and ceremonial,

It is effectively ministers who exercise the royal prerogative. And it is, in reality, the prime minister who appoints, accepts the resignations of and dismisses ministers, but ruling is done by his government, and as head of state in the UK the King is constitutionally obliged to follow the government’s advice.

So if his government decided to abolish the monarchy does he have to comply ?

It’s a political quagmire.

His main functions as head of state are to appoint the Prime Minister, and all the other ministers; to open new sessions of parliament; and to give royal assent to bills passed by parliament, signifying that they have become law. 

There is no scrutiny of the Royal family in parliament as they are rarely in parliament. The monarch is not allowed to enter the house of commons (a historic rule dating back to king Charles I)

Dissolving parliament ahead of an election is a prerogative power of the monarch.

In practice, the monarch only dissolves parliament at the request of the government.

The British Monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy.

This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament.

The royal prerogative includes the powers to appoint and dismiss ministers, regulate the civil service, issue passports, declare war, make peace, direct the actions of the military, and negotiate and ratify treaties, alliances, and international agreements.
