Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in public comments that his goal for Israel’s next military offensive in Gaza is the takeover and full Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory. Netanyahu’s plan has faced resistance from the military since heavy Israeli troop casualties are expected, and the Israeli captives in Gaza will likely be harmed or killed during the offensive.Israel’s offensive would end quickly if the US stopped supporting it. However, President Trump, when asked about Israel’s full occupation of Gaza, said, “I really can’t say. It is going to be pretty much up to Israel.”
There have been numerous images and reports about starvation and famine in Gaza. When asked, “To what extent are you personally troubled or not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza?”, 79% of Israeli Jews responded that they were “not so troubled” or “not troubled at all.”
Israeli officials previously announced a plan to build a concentration camp in a tiny area of southern Gaza with the goal of forcing the entire civilian population into it. Netanyahu’s ultimate goal ios the removal of the Palestinian people from Gaza, which they. now call the Trump plan. No regional countries have stepped forward to take in the Palestinians who are being pushed out.
Jimmy Dore explained that no matter what Hamas does, Israel is pursuing land grabs for ‘Greater Israel’, which has been planned for years. He said that the war was used as a pretext to clear Gaza and take the land.

From The Jewish Independent:
Most Israeli Jews untroubled by reports of Gaza famine, survey finds
A new Israeli public opinion survey has revealed a sharp divide between Jewish and Arab citizens regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the credibility of the IDF’s reports, settler violence in the West Bank, and concerns over rising antisemitism abroad.
Conducted by the Viterbi Family Centre for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute, the survey followed increasing reports and images pointing to a severe humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including widespread famine.
When asked, “To what extent are you personally troubled or not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza?”, 79% of Israeli Jews responded that they were “not so troubled” or “not troubled at all.” In contrast, 86% of Arab Israelis said they were either “very troubled” or “somewhat troubled” by the situation.
These findings align with coverage in the Israeli mainstream media, which for months largely denied or downplayed the scale of hunger in Gaza. However, according to Ruth Margalit in The New Yorker, a shift may be underway. “Even for (Israeli) politicians and journalists who are sympathetic to Netanyahu, it has become permissible to acknowledge that [the hunger crisis] is real,” she wrote. Whether this softening in tone will influence public opinion remains to be seen.
The White House has just released its official policy document, America’s AI Action Plan, defining the future of AI development. Admittedly, Trump doesn’t have any real understanding of AI, but he has totally caved in to the Technocrats he appointed in the first place. Indeed, Technocracy is being forced down our throats whether we want it or not.
The first pillar of America’s AI Action Plan focuses on removing regulatory barriers and eliminating unnecessary review processes. Superficially, this appears as a push against bureaucratic inertia, but in reality, it amounts to an explicit transfer of authority from elected bodies to expert committees and interagency working groups.
The second pillar includes a comprehensive scheme for AI literacy and workforce retraining. At first glance, investment in skill development and rapid-response training may appear benevolent. Yet the Plan prescribes a narrowly defined set of competencies—data labeling, model auditing, grid operations—determined by federal projections of industrial demand. Such top-down workforce engineering tracks precisely with technocratic ideology, which regards citizens as variables in an optimization problem. Rather than empowering individuals to shape their own vocational paths, the Plan channels labor into predetermined slots within a digital economy overseen by experts.
The third pillar of the report extends the domestic technocratic agent to the world. By exporting American AI frameworks, hardware standards, and regulatory templates to allies, the Plan seeks to cement a global regime of expert rule.
The last item on the last page of the Plan contains real paydirt for Technocracy and Transhumanism:
AI will unlock nearly limitless potential in biology: cures for new diseases, novel industrial use cases, and more. At the same time, it could create new pathways for malicious actors to synthesize harmful pathogens and other biomolecules. The solution to this problem is a multi-tiered approach designed to screen for malicious actors, along with new tools and infrastructure for more effective screening.[Remember nose swabs for COVID screening? – Ed.]As these tools, policies, and enforcement mechanisms mature, it will be essential to work with allies and partners to ensure international adoption.
Recommended Policy Actions
Require all institutions receiving Federal funding for scientific research to use nucleic acid synthesis tools and synthesis providers that have robust nucleic acid sequence screening and customer verification procedures. Create enforcement mechanisms for this requirement rather than relying on voluntary attestation.
Led by OSTP, convene government and industry actors to develop a mechanism to facilitate data sharing between nucleic acid synthesis providers to screen for potentially fraudulent or malicious customers.
Build, maintain, and update as necessary national security-related AI evaluations through collaboration between CAISI at DOC, national security agencies, and relevant research institutions.
Therefore, DNA screening will become commonplace across government agencies.
Who Wrote This Technocratic Screed, Anyway
Not surprisingly, the report’s lead authors are listed as Michael Kratsios and David Sacks, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio included as an official with clout.
Michael Kratsios, Technocrat
Currently, Kratsios is listed as Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. In the first Trump Administration, he served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Appointed in August 2019 at age 33, he was the youngest person ever to hold the federal CTO position.
In this role, he led the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s efforts to advance emerging technologies—most notably artificial intelligence, 5G wireless networks, quantum computing, and data privacy—across the federal government. He coordinated interagency AI initiatives, helped develop the American AI Initiative, and convened industry, academic, and civil-society stakeholders to guide national technology policy.
David O. Sacks, Technocrat
Sacks is listed as Special Advisor for AI and Crypto. He was a co-founder and the first Chief Operating Officer (COO) of PayPal, alongside Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. As such he was a prominent member of the so-called “PayPal Mafia.” He is heavily invested in the AI industry through his company, Craft Ventures.
Sacks’ authority is questionable. He was originally listed as a “Special Advisor to the President” under a protocol that ran for 133 days, which has long expired. On this report, his title has changed to “Special Advisor for AI and Crypto.” I conducted an exhaustive search to determine that David Sacks has no current position with any government entity and is, therefore, a private citizen. So, what is his name doing on this report?
Apparently, Sacks is self-appointed to be the “Crypto and AI Czar”. Yes, self-appointed. Today’s arch-Technocrats are so sure of themselves that they don’t need official appointment to assert themselves.
China has been dumping US treasuries, while Trump has been gunning for Jerome Powell at the Fed, and central bank digital currency (CBDC) was banned by Congress. Trump signed the the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that are backed by assets considered to be reliable such as a national currency.US-dollar backed stable coins make US dollars easier to use globally, settle transactions faster, and record transactions on a blockchain ledger. Clayton Moore said that this is how Trump plans to keep the US as the world’s reserve currency, not by printing more money, but by making the dollar more useful than anything else. There is much skepticism and Catherine Austin Fitts criticized stable coins early on, saying that they are a backdoor to central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Fitts said that stablecoin is a way to turn on helicopter money like you have never seen it turned on before. She added, “the guys who control how that money flows can literally buy up the world.” Mark Goodwin warned against the tokenization of real world assets, including land and nature.

China has been dumping US treasuries, while Trump has been gunning for Jerome Powell at the Fed, and central bank digital currency (CBDC) was banned by Congress. Trump signed the the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law.
Catherine Austin Fitts criticized stable coins as a backdoor to CBDC. Here are a few short videos from Catherine Austin Fitts and Mark Goodwin:
Blockchain is simply a ledger/ accounting system. Mark Goodwin said that digital money can be traced in that public ledger and can be used as a tool for warrantless surveillance.
He explained that a cash dollar bill can only be spent by an individual once because it is given away, whereas a digital dollar could be represented on two separate ledgers that will create more money [and fraud].
Catherine Austin Fitts said that stable coins are the new tool for financial warfare and and a great land grab. She said that stable coin is a way to turn on helicopter money like you have never seen it turned on before. She added, “the guys who control how that money flows can literally buy up the world.”
Digital currencies are not tangible and can be destroyed.
Goodwin warned against the tokenization of real world assets, including land and nature.
A critic wrote, “What is the difference between between stable coin and CBDC? They’re both digital currencies, which is bad in the long term. According to the GENIUS Act, it will eliminate paper bill at the federal level. So what do you think it is going to happen later down road in state level? Cashless.”
Candace Owens began her investigative series on the Epstein Files that she says is tied to the Brigitte Macron scandal and the cases lead back to the privileged political class and bloodlines. She believes that Epstein is important because he was far more than an blackmailer. She provides evidence that he is deeply linked to the Israeli Mossad. The Epstein case involves more than just corrupt politicians in the US, it is part of a network, with Israel at its core, that aims to control and influence global politics and wars through arms dealing, money laundering and espionage. She ended the video by saying that leaders and influencers are merely actors, characters who are just inserted into places to serve Israel.
The Epstein Files: Dead Men Tell No Tales | An Introduction
Candace Owens discusses Robert Maxwell, whose birth name was Abraham Lajbi Hoch and he was from Ukraine. He is the father of Epstein cohort, Ghislaine Maxwell. Robert Maxwell was a media mogul and he was a member of the UK Parliament in the House of Commons. He had been arrested at one paint as a Communist agitator, but was still allowed to join England’s Pioneer Corps and was involved with the British intelligence agency MI-6. He was the Director of the Bank of England at one time. He is also believed to have been a Soviet KGB agent. There is copious evidence that he was a Mossad agent and that his loyalty belonged to Israel.
Candace alleged that the New York Post is and Israeli outfit – it was the forst to get photos of dead Jeffrey Epstein and it it had exclusive rights to the ‘doctored’ photo of Ghislaine Maxwell at In-N-Out Burger in Los Angeles.
Former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky said that the Mossad loaned Maxwell the money to buy Mirror Group publishing, and once he got it, he stole employee pension funds. The money was used by the Mossad to finance many of its operations in Europe.
Ari Ben Minashe, a Mossad agent, also identified Maxwell as a fellow Mossad agent who played a role in laundering money for the Iran Contra Affair weapons deals. Minashe said that Ghislaine Maxwell fell for Epstein in the 1980s and he identified them both as incompetent Mossad agents who were able to obtain blackmail material on American leaders and influencers.
The Epstein case involves more than just corrupt politicians in the US, it is part of a network, driven by Israel, to control and influence global politics and wars through arms dealing and money laundering. Some of the affected nations include the US, UK, France, Iran, Russia and more.
The Epstein Files: The Midas Touch | Ep 1
Candace Owens said that key indicators of deep corruption include identity laundering, the Midas touch, sexual deviancy, theater, and historical revisionism.
Candace gave a timeline of Jeffrey Epstein’s life that began in Brooklyn in 1953. Donald Barr, father of former Attorney General Bill Barr and head of the prestigious Dalton School, hired Jeffrey Epstein as a math teacher despite Epstein not having graduated from college. Donald Barr wrote a book, Space Relations, about sexual blackmail and abuse of children. Donald Barr was a member at that time of the Office of Strategic Services in America, the OSS, that became the CIA.
Alan Greenberg, the CEO of Bear Stearns, made Epstein a junior assistant on the trade floor in 1976 and he was elevated to partner within 4 years. Epstein left Bear Stearns under a cloud as insider trading was being investigated. He became involved with Edward Bronfman, the head of the World Jewish Conference, in 1981 during the Iran Contra Affair.
Epstein donated tens of millions of dollars to Harvard University, which Candace believes is running a Mossad operation.
It was reported that Epstein had operated on behalf of the Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who was reported to have been an agent of the Israeli Mossad.
Epstein was associated with the Tower Financial Corporation that perpetrated the largest ponzi scheme in US history at that time. Steven Hoffenberg, the CEO, went to prison for 18 years for his crimes. He claimed that Epstein was the mastermind behind the company’s money laundering, espionage and arms trafficking crimes. He tried to sue Epstein three times.
Candace wrapped up the segment on Epstein and mentioned that President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was a very influential advisor to Trump during his first term in office, received a whopping $2 billion for his investment company from Saudi Arabia to invest. Some of the investment money went to Israel.
She ended the video by saying that leaders and influencers are merely actors, characters who are just inserted into places to serve Israel.
** In March 2025, following the pager explosions against Hezbollah in Lebanon, a masked ex-Mossad whistleblower smugly described Mossad’s operations as “a global production company” where “we write the screenplay, we’re the directors, we’re the producers, we’re the main actors. And the world is our stage.”
Google slashed traffic to Mercola.com by 99.9%, replacing years of trusted content with pharma-backed search results that promote junk food and drugs as “healthcare” solutions
A new term, “nonaginate,” describes Google’s tactic of wiping out 90% or more of alternative health websites’ visibility — a practice now threatening hundreds of holistic sources
Under the guise of safety, Google uses vague policies like EEAT and YMYL to bury licensed doctors and researchers who question mainstream pharmaceutical narratives
Google’s so-called “quality raters” depend on Wikipedia for judgments about credibility — even though its anonymous editors openly oppose natural health and block factual corrections
To protect your health freedom and privacy, I recommend ditching all Google products — from search to Gmail — and switching to platforms that respect your data and independence
Have you noticed how it’s getting more challenging to find non-mainstream health info in your search results lately? That’s not your imagination — it’s a deliberate tactic employed by Google to control the information you see. They’re targeting websites that question pharmaceutical orthodoxy or promote natural approaches to health, even those that are run by licensed practitioners, researchers, and authors with longstanding reputations — myself included.
I’ve been sounding the alarm on Google’s monopoly for several years now, and how they’re gravely endangering the free-flow of information, particularly in the health industry. Google views alternative health as a threat to Big Pharma, and uses its search ranking system to severely reduce natural health websites’ visibility and accessibility to the general public.
‘Nonagination’ — Google’s Attempt to Suppress Alternative Health Information
In his Substack page, Bill Dembski, a researcher, design theorist, and mathematician, wrote an extensive exposé on “the evilization of Google,”1 and how this nefarious company strategically dismantled the reach and visibility of alternative health websites, including Mercola.com. Dembski introduced the term “nonaginate” to describe a tactic that goes far beyond censorship.2
•What does “nonaginate” mean? Dembski says this word was inspired by “decimate,” which dates to the old Roman practice of eliminating “one-tenth of an unruly band of Roman soldiers.” However, what Google does is so much worse, so using the word decimate is a grave understatement.
•It’s much worse than decimation — Dembski then turned to the Latin term for 90, “nonaginta,” and from here, he coined the word “nonaginate,” saying that this was a better-suited word for what this company does.
“Nonaginate — hat tip to Google for inspiring the term — is thus defined as destroying at least ninety percent of a thing. Nonagination is therefore much more extreme than decimation (in decimation’s strict literal sense of only destroying ten percent). Google prefers to nonaginate sites it doesn’t like,” he writes.
•I first-handedly experienced nonagination back in 2019 — Six years ago, on June 3, 2019, to be exact, Google implemented a broad “core update” that eliminated most Mercola.com pages from its search results. Virtually overnight, Google traffic to my site dropped by approximately 99.9%.
•Decades of valuable health information has been buried — Since 1997, Mercola.com has been considered a highly relevant source of health content, and has been one of the top natural health websites worldwide. But in one fell swoop, Google removed all our high-ranked results, and replaced them with health information from advertising companies that promote junk food and drugs instead.
Google Hides Behind Its So-Called ‘Policies’
Mercola.com wasn’t the only victim of nonagination — countless alternative health websites were also hit with similar penalties, losing their visibility, reach, and revenue streams. For many, this meant bankruptcy. Yet, Google does not publicly admit to this bias; instead, it hides behind abstract policy language.3
•Bias is hidden behind policies that claim neutrality — To justify its move to downrank alternative health websites, Google invokes content guidelines like “Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness” (EEAT), and “Your Money or Your Life” (YMYL).4
•On paper, these standards sound like they exist to protect users — But in practice, they create a false sense of objectivity that allows Google to bury dissenting voices without admitting to any ideological filtering. Even licensed physicians and researchers are downgraded if they suggest that healing might come from something other than patented drugs.
•This suppression is systemic, not incidental — EEAT and YMYL policies are enforced by both machine algorithms and human raters, all trained to flag anything outside of conventional dogma as untrustworthy — even if that information is backed by clinical experience or published studies.
•The result? Websites that promote natural, research-backed concepts like real food, mitochondrial health, sunlight exposure, or EMF reduction are treated the same way as snake oil scams. Google nonaginates them in the name of “safety.”
From Crowdsourcing to Crowd Control
In the past, google search results were based on crowdsource relevance. An article’s rankings on Google search would ascend based on the number of people who clicked on it. Basically, if you produced unique and high-quality content that matched what people were looking for, you were rewarded by ranking in the top of search results.
•To help you ideate this, here’s an example — Let’s say you have an article about Akkermansia that is found on the seventh page of Google’s search results, and then your competitor also has an Akkermansia article on the fifth page of search results. If more people click on your article than your competitor’s, your article will move up in rank. So, in a nutshell, these search results are based on popularity.
•But this is no longer the case — Now, Google is manually lowering the ranking of undesirable content with the help of “quality raters.” These raters are basing their feedback largely on Wikipedia’s assessment of the author or site (more on this in the next section).
•Who are these so-called quality raters? According to the company’s Search Quality Rater Guidelines, they have 16,000 external search quality raters working for them to “provide ratings based on our guidelines and represent real users and their likely information needs, using their best judgment to represent their locale.”5
•However, these raters are not Google employees — Rather, they are employed by external firms who have contracted them to Google. According to an article by ARS Technica:
“They’re carefully trained and tested staff who can spend 40 hours per week logged into a system called Raterhub, which is owned and operated by Google. Every day, the raters complete dozens of short but exacting tasks that produce invaluable data about the usefulness of Google’s ever-changing algorithms.
They contribute significantly to several Google and Android projects, from search and voice recognition to photos and personalization features.”6
Google Quality Raters Rely on Wikipedia for ‘Expertise’ and ‘Trustworthiness’
As mentioned earlier, one of the primary sources Google’s quality raters are instructed to use when assessing the expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness of an author or website is Wikipedia, “the free encyclopedia.”
•Wikipedia is highly biased against natural health — Unfortunately for many of us in the field of alternative health, Wikipedia’s founder and editors are well-known to have extreme bias against natural health content and authors.
•What’s more, the editors are completely anonymous — Wikipedia’s editors are purely volunteers, and there are a few who have reached the most powerful editing status. They’re known as the administrators. However, you will not know their identity as they hide behind pseudonyms and usernames.
So, basically, you have no idea whether the editors who are editing your content are truly experts on the topic. So how can we consider Wikipedia to be an authority of credibility when the editors are anonymous and uncredentialed?
Wikipedia Is Aggressive When It Comes to Censorship
While Google’s censoring of content started just several years ago, Wikipedia has been censoring information and blocking editors since the beginning. About 1,000 users are blocked from the platform on any given day.
•Wikipedia is often edited by people with a very specific agenda — According to investigative journalist Sheryl Attkisson, anyone who tries to clarify or clear up inaccuracies on the site is simply blocked. The reality is a far cry from Wikipedia’s public promise, which is to provide readers with unbiased information.
•Google is funding Wikipedia — Considering its history of bias and its incredibly effective blocking of opposing views, no matter how factual, it’s not surprising that Wikipedia is Google’s chosen arbiter of expertise and credibility. And Wikipedia is profiting from this partnership, financially speaking. In January 2019, Google donated $2 million to Wikimedia Endowment, Wikipedia’s parent organization, and another $1.1 million to the Wikimedia Foundation.
•So what does this mean? Since Google’s freelance raters rely on Wikipedia, it means the whole “quality rating” system they’ve set up is rotten from the ground up, as its quality raters are instructed to base their quality decisions on an already biased source.
Google Is the World’s Biggest Monopoly
There’s no doubt that Google is now one of the largest and clearest monopolies in the world. It monopolizes several different markets, including search and advertising. In the case of search, it controls 90% of the market; its closest competitor, Bing, only has 2% of the market.7 Google also controls about 60% of the global advertising revenue on the internet.
•Google’s primary business is the harvesting of user data — Google catches every single thing you do online if you’re using a Google-based feature, and this data is then used to build powerful personality profiles that are sold for profit and used in a variety of different ways.
This data gathering goes far beyond what most people realize was even possible and is one of the primary reasons smaller advertisers cannot compete — they don’t have the user data Google has.
•Google also owns DeepMind, the world’s greatest artificial intelligence (AI) company — With nearly 6,000 employees worldwide,8 many of them AI researchers, it is not hard for them to sort through all your data with their deep learning algorithms to detect patterns that can be exploited for profit.
•Unfortunately, many still fail to see the problem Google presents — Its services are useful and practical, making life easier in many ways, and more fun in others. However, the complete and utter loss of privacy is a high price to be paid for such conveniences. Ultimately, your user data and personal details can be used for everything from creating personalized advertising to AI-equipped robotic warfare applications.
Say Goodbye to Google Today
Today, being a conscious consumer includes making wise, informed decisions about technology, and one of the greatest personal data leaks in your life is Google. If you need an extensive list on just how pervasive Google is, I recommend reading my article, “Goodbye Google.”
Here’s a summary of action steps for you to take right now to protect your privacy. I recommend sharing them with your friends and family so they too can protect themselves from Google’s data theft practices.
•Swap out your browser — Uninstall Google Chrome and use Brave or Opera instead. Everything you do on Chrome is surveilled, including keystrokes and every webpage you’ve ever visited. Brave is a great alternative that takes privacy seriously.
•Switch your search engine — Stop using Google search engines or any extension of Google, such as Bing or Yahoo, both of which draw search results from Google. Instead, use a default search engine that offers privacy, such as Presearch, Startpage, DuckDuckGo, Qwant and many others.
•Use a secure email — Close your Gmail account and switch to a secure email service like ProtonMail. If you have children, don’t transfer their student Google account into a personal account once they’re out of school.
•Switch to a secure document sharing service — Ditch Google Docs and use another alternative such as Zoho Office, Etherpad, CryptPad, OnlyOffice or Nuclino, all of which are recommended by NordVPN.9
•Delete all Google apps from your phone and purge Google hardware — Better yet, get a de-Googled phone. Several companies now offer them, including Above Phone.
•Avoid websites that use Google Analytics — To do that, you’ll need to check the website’s privacy policy and search for “Google.” Websites are required to disclose if they use a third-party surveillance tool. If they use Google Analytics, ask them to switch!
•Use a secure messaging system — To keep your private communications private, use a messaging tool that provides end-to-end encryption, such as Signal.
•Use a virtual private network (VPN) such as NordVPN or Strong VPN — This is a must if you seek to preserve your online privacy.
•Don’t use Google Home devices in your house or apartment — These devices record everything that occurs in your home, both speech and sounds such as brushing your teeth and boiling water, even when they appear to be inactive, and send that information back to Google. The same goes for Google’s home thermostat Nest and Amazon’s Alexa.
•Don’t use an Android cellphone, as it’s owned by Google.
•Ditch Siri, which draws all its answers from Google.
•Don’t use Fitbit — It was recently purchased by Google and will provide them with all your physiological information and activity levels, in addition to everything else that Google already has on you.

In a nutshell
Scientists created an AI called Centaur that can predict human behavior across any psychological experiment with unprecedented accuracy
The AI outperformed decades-old specialized models and successfully predicted behavior in completely new scenarios it had never seen before
Centaur’s internal workings became more aligned with human brain activity just by learning to predict our choices, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cognition
MUNICH — An artificial intelligence system can now predict your next move before you make it. We’re not just talking about whether you’ll click “buy now” on that Amazon cart, but rather how you’ll navigate complex decisions, learn new skills, or explore uncharted territory.
Researchers have developed an AI called Centaur that accurately predicts human behavior across virtually any psychological experiment. It even outperforms the specialized computer models scientists have been using for decades. Trained on data from more than 60,000 people making over 10 million decisions, Centaur captures the underlying patterns of how we think, learn, and make choices.
“The human mind is remarkably general,” the researchers write in their paper, published in Nature. “Not only do we routinely make mundane decisions, such as choosing a breakfast cereal or selecting an outfit, but we also tackle complex challenges, such as figuring out how to cure cancer or explore outer space.”
An AI that truly understands human cognition could revolutionize marketing, education, mental health treatment, and product design. But it also raises uncomfortable questions about privacy and manipulation when our digital footprints reveal more about us than ever before.
How Scientists Built a Digital Mind Reader AI
The research team started with an ambitious goal: create a single AI model that could predict human behavior in any psychological experiment. Their approach was surprisingly straightforward but required massive scale.
Scientists assembled a dataset called Psych-101 containing 160 experiments covering memory tests, learning games, risk-taking scenarios, and moral dilemmas. Each experiment was converted into plain English descriptions that an AI could understand.
Rather than building from scratch, researchers took Meta’s Llama 3.1 language model (the same type powering ChatGPT) and gave it specialized training on human behavior. They used a technique that allows them to modify only a tiny fraction of the AI’s programming while keeping most of it unchanged. The entire training process took only five days on a high-end computer processor.

Centaur Dominates Traditional Cognitive Models
When tested, Centaur completely crushed the competition. In head-to-head comparisons with specialized cognitive models that scientists spent decades perfecting, Centaur won in almost every single experiment.
The real breakthrough came when researchers tested Centaur on completely new scenarios. The AI successfully predicted human behavior even when the experiment’s story changed (turning a space treasure hunt into a magic carpet adventure), when the structure was modified (adding a third option to a two-choice task), and when entirely new domains were introduced (logical reasoning tests that weren’t in its training data).
Centaur could also generate realistic human-like behavior when running simulations. In one test involving exploration strategies, the AI achieved performance comparable to actual human participants and showed the same type of uncertainty-guided decision-making that characterizes how people behave.
Neural Alignment: Centaur Mimics Human Brain Activity
In a surprising discovery, Centaur’s internal workings had become more aligned with human brain activity, even though it was never explicitly trained to match neural data. When researchers compared the AI’s internal states to brain scans of people performing the same tasks, they found stronger correlations than with the original, untrained model.
Learning to predict human behavior apparently forced the AI to develop internal representations that mirror how our brains actually process information. The AI essentially reverse-engineered aspects of human cognition just by studying our choices.
The team also demonstrated how Centaur could accelerate scientific discovery. They used the AI to analyze human behavior patterns, leading to the discovery of a new decision-making strategy that outperformed existing psychological theories.
“We’ve created a tool that allows us to predict human behavior in any situation described in natural language – like a virtual laboratory,” says lead author Marcel Binz in a statement.
What’s Next for Human Behavior AI?
While impressive, this research represents just the beginning. The current version focuses primarily on learning and decision-making, with limited coverage of areas like social psychology or cross-cultural differences. The dataset also skews toward Western, educated populations, a common limitation in psychological research.
The team plans to expand their dataset to include more diverse domains and populations, envisioning a comprehensive model that could serve as a unified theory of human cognition. They’ve made both their dataset and AI model publicly available for other researchers to build upon.
“We combine AI research with psychological theory – and with a clear ethical commitment,” adds Binz. “In a public research environment, we have the freedom to pursue fundamental cognitive questions that are often not the focus in industry.”
For the first time, we have an artificial system that can predict human behavior across the full spectrum of psychological research with unprecedented accuracy. Whether that development excites or concerns you may depend on how confidently we can ensure such tools are used responsibly.
No surprise it would be taking over in the UK, where the Nanny State boobs are some of the most deranged on the planet.
Buckle up.
BBC: “Every newborn baby in England will have their DNA mapped to assess their risk of hundreds of diseases, under NHS plans for the next 10 years.”
“…part of a government drive towards predicting and preventing illness…”
“The government’s 10-year plan…is aimed at easing pressure on [medical] services. The Department for Health and Social Care said that genomics—the study of genes—and AI would be used to ‘revolutionise prevention’ and provide faster diagnoses and an ‘early warning signal for disease’.”
This is complete bullshit.
The study of genes to treat disease is aimed largely at raising MONEY for research.
Aside from isolated “miracle cases” here and there, there are NO genetic cures for any disease.
So how in the world will analyzing the DNA of every baby add up to “better medical care?”
What WILL happen is lots more government surveillance of citizens from cradle to grave—using their DNA profiles—under the convenient do-good cover story of “we’re catching disease earlier and treating it.”
Also, the people of the UK can look forward to hundreds more nonsense disease labels, supposedly describing what “genetic research” is uncovering.
Every person will be a captive of the medical cartel from birth to death. Featuring all new toxic drugs and vaccines. (link)
The Bibi Files is a film that features leaked interrogation footage from the trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu.
He faces corruption charges that may to lead to a prison sentence if he loses his seat in office. Critics say that he has prolonged the Gaza war in order to keep his post as prime minister and avoid being tried on corruption charges for accepting lavish gifts and bribing the media for positive news coverage.
The corruption charges include accepting expensive gifts that include champagne for his wife Sara, who witnesses in the film say drinks excessively. Hollywood film producer Arnon Milchan said that he bought her a necklace. It is alleged that Milchan, who revealed that he secretly helped Israel develop its nuclear weapons program, received benefits from Netanyahu. Critics believe that Sara Netanyahu sets policy and gained power after Bibi admitted to an affair in 1993.
Miriam Adelson, who pledged $100 million to Trump in the 2024 election made a startling statement when she was asked if the basis of the Adelson’s friendship with the Netanyahus was money. She replied, “What can I say? If this comes out, I am dead.”

Excerpts from Al Jazeera December 2024:
Analysts and observers posit that in his [Netanyahu’s] efforts to avoid the trials and possible conviction, Netanyahu has been extending and expanding Israel’s assault on the besieged Gaza Strip.

It involves allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara received lavish gifts from two wealthy businessmen in exchange for political favours.
The businessmen are Arnon Milchan, an Israeli Hollywood film producer, and Australian billionaire James Packer. The gifts allegedly include champagne and cigars.
Milchan testified that he provided gifts to Netanyahu in June 2020.
Netanyahu is accused of advancing Milchan’s interests by helping secure a United States visa after speaking to US government officials.
He is also accused of advancing a tax exemption law that could have benefitted Israelis abroad, including Milchan.
Fraud and breach of trust can result in prison sentences of up to three years, while bribery charges can result in up to 10 years in jail and/or a fine.
Then-Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit said the gifts were given continuously, “such that they became a sort of ‘supply channel’”.
The goods were valued at approximately 700,000 shekels ($186,000), according to a statement made by Mandelblit following the indictment, and were given to Netanyahu “in connection with his public roles and his status as Israel’s Prime Minister”.
Case 2000
It says Netanyahu made a deal with businessman Aron Mozes, a controlling shareholder of the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, for favourable coverage in exchange for legislation to slow the growth of the rival Israel Hayom newspaper.
This case also charges him with fraud and breach of trust.
In Mandelblit’s indictment summary, he said despite “a profound rivalry” between the two men, they conducted three series of meetings between 2008 and 2014.
During these meetings, Netanyahu and Mozes “engaged in discussions regarding the promotion of their common interests: improving the coverage that Mr. Netanyahu received in the ‘Yedioth Aharonoth’ media group; and the imposition of restrictions on the ‘Israel Hayom’ newspaper”, Mandelblit said.
A legislative bill was also being considered that would have limited the circulation of Israel Hayom, according to the indictment’s summary.
Case 4000
This case indicts Netanyahu for granting regulatory favours to Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq in return for positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website controlled by its former chairman.
Netanyahu, in his capacity as communications minister at the time, allegedly provided regulatory benefits to Shaul Elovitch, the owner of Bezeq who also controlled the news website Walla.
The benefits reportedly included mergers and financial gains.
In exchange, Elovitch provided favourable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife.
Netanyahu “dealt on several occasions with regulatory matters pertaining to Mr Elovitch, and took specific actions that promoted significant business interests of Mr Elovitch of substantial financial value”, the indictment summary said.
Besides fraud and breach of trust, Netanyahu has been charged with bribery in this case.
Scripps: ‘Mass Deportations’ Are Not Happening Under Trump
Chris Menahan
President Trump is not making good on his pledge to conduct mass deportations, according to a new analysis from Scripps News that dug into deportation numbers Immigration and Customs Enforcement has tried to hide.
A pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants helped propel President Donald Trump back to the White House.
“It’s going to be called a Trump mass deportation,” Trump said during a campaign rally on Aug. 12, 2024. “We will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”
[…] But federal data shows there has not been a significant jump in immigrants deported since Trump took office. Mass deportations have not occurred. The numbers show removals are lagging behind levels during the Biden administration.
“Frankly I was shocked,” said Sue Long, co-founder of the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse that tracks immigration statistics at Syracuse University.
Early on the Trump administration touted the number of daily immigration arrests but has never shared detailed deportation figures.
Long was able to calculate recent deportation figures using a cumulative number deep inside a spreadsheet ICE is required by law to keep updated for Congress.
“They’re lower,” Long said. “Their daily average is simply 10 percent lower.”
I would be shocked if mass deportations actually were happening as it’d be one of the first times in my lifetime that the government was actually executing the will of the people.
The acknowledgement that deporting some El Salvadoran illegal immigrant to El Salvador was an “administrative error” and then the reversal to insisting he’s an MS-13 gang member was also bizarre.
Polls have repeatedly found the overwhelming majority of Americans want all illegal aliens deported but instead they’re being allowed to stay because Trump thinks that “We need more people.”
Two left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), both with financial ties to Alex and George Soros’s network, are suing to stop President Donald Trump’s reforms of the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program, which are intended to end trafficking of such migrant children within the United States.
In February, Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued reforms to the UAC program, which resettles migrant children in American communities with adult sponsors after they arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without parents or guardians.
Part of those reforms is banning UACs from being turned over to illegal aliens in the United States.
HHS whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas has called the UAC program a “white glove delivery service” where migrant children go from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody to HHS custody before being turned over to adult sponsors that are not their parents or relatives, in most cases.
“…we have delivered these unaccompanied children to criminals, traffickers, and members of transnational criminal organizations who are using the UAC program as a white glove delivery service of children,” Rodas said, calling out former President Joe Biden’s administration for loosening the rules around the UAC program.
This week, the National Center for Youth Law and Democracy Forward — both with financial ties to the Soros network — filed a class action lawsuit to stop Trump’s HHS from verifying the legal status of an adult sponsor before a UAC is handed over to their care.
The groups are asking a district court to find the reforms unlawful and issue a preliminary injunction stopping the administration from implementing the reforms.
Democracy Forward, which is behind a separate lawsuit trying to stop Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members, lists left-wing organizations like the Center for American Progress, National Immigration Law Center, Color of Change, UnidosUS, Common Justice, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, among many others, as clients and partners.
The Alex Soros-chaired Open Society Foundations has funded several of Democracy Forward’s clients and partners. For example, in 2023, the Open Society Foundations awarded Color of Change a $3 million grant after giving the group nearly $1.5 million in funding in 2018 and 2019.
Similarly, and perhaps most significantly, the Open Society Foundations remains one of the largest donors to the Center for American Progress — a group that is considered the unofficial policy wing of the Democrat Party.
In 2023 alone, the Open Society Foundations gave the Center for American Progress nearly $4 million in grant funding.
Likewise, the Open Society Foundations has thrown millions to the National Immigration Law Center as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to UnidosUS, Common Justice, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network.
The other group involved in the lawsuit, the National Center for Youth Law, received $75,000 in funding from the Open Society Foundations in 2017.
The case is Immigrant Defenders Law Center v. HHS, No. 1:25-cv-01405 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
