unhinged chaos that has rapidly grown around us throughout our lifetimes is certainly orchestrated. It's not random or \"organic\".<br>\n<br>\nA sequential series of fundamental changes, laid down one after another over a century, if not hundreds of years, have degraded, even captured, all aspects of our physical environment (air, water, soil, food), electromagnetic spectrum, education, culture, health, science, religion and more. It has been an all-spectrum, systematic assault, a soft coup against human life, that is culminating in an extraordinary moment in history where we as a species, have one last opportunity to turn an aspect of the future in a new direction toward a revolutionary new world . . . even as most of the world rapidly careens toward a dystopian end.<br>\n<br>\nThis moment has immense implications, and opportunity. It seems to literally be a potential turning point for the universe... but only if we rise to the occasion and do what we need to, to set a different course for the segment of humanity that has the potential to establish the foundation for a new, different world.<br>\n<br>\nIf we don't do what we need to do, all of the human species will be captured in the pervasive and invasive digital net and extraction will be impossible. That would be the beginning of the end of the Pure Humans, (in Gregg Braden terms).<br>\n<br>\nIt's easy to focus on all of the political, economic and other narratives that swirl around us, promising one or another variation of disaster. But we can't afford to fall for the magician trick of being attracted to the diversion and missing the most important thing that is transpiring. In this case, there is a much bigger issue at stake... literally the future of humanity.<br>\n<br>\nWe have a limited amount of time to get our arms around the essence of this new understanding and transfer that knowledge into rapid action that could derail the present trends.<br>\n<br>\nThis is of utmost importance. More so than any other time in our lives and you have a unique opportunity to both understand the big picture... and start building a personal plan for contributing to a dramatic change in the direction of the future.<br>\n<br>\nIf you have always known that you had an important role to play in the evolution of life on this planet, John Petersen's 18th of January TransitionTalk will provide you with the most significant opportunity available, to be a part of the beginning of the most important human movement in history.

A graduate electrical engineer, he has also promoted rock concerts; produced conventions; and worked as a disc jockey, among other things.<br>\n<br>\nMr. Petersen\u2019s government and political experience include stints at the National War College, the Institute for National Security Studies, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the National Security Council staff at the White House. He was a naval flight officer in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve and is a decorated veteran of both the Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars. He has served in senior positions for a number of presidential political campaigns and was an elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1984. He was twice the runner-up to be Secretary of the Navy.<br>\n<br>\nIn 1989, Petersen founded The Arlington Institute (TAI), a non-profit, future-oriented research institute. TAI operates on the premise that effective thinking about the future is impossible without casting a very wide net. The \u201cthink tank\u201d serves as a global agent for change by developing new concepts, processes and tools for anticipating the future and translating that knowledge into better present-day decisions. Using advanced information technology, a core group of bright thinkers and an international network of exceptionally curious people along with simulations, modeling, scenario building, polling and analysis, Arlington helps equip leaders and organizations from many disciplines with tools and actionable perspectives for dealing with uncertain times.<br>\n<br>\nAn award-winning writer, Petersen\u2019s first book, The Road to 2015: Profiles of the Future was awarded Outstanding Academic Book of 1995 by CHOICE Academic Review, and remained on The World Future Society\u2019s best-seller list for more than a year. His Out of the Blue: How to Anticipate Wild Cards and Big Future Surprises book was also a WFS best-seller. His latest book, A Vision For 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change, was published in 2007. Mr. Petersen\u2019s coauthored article, The Year 2000: Social Chaos or Social Transformation?, was one of the most highly acclaimed writings on Y2K. His 1988 book-length report The Diffusion of Power: An Era of Realignment was used at the highest levels of American government as a basis for strategic planning. He has also written papers on the future of national security and the military, the future of energy and the future of the media.<br>\n<br>\nPetersen is a past board member of the World Future Society, wrote on the future of aviation for Professional Pilot magazine and was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. He is a former network member of the Global Business Network and a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science. A provocative public speaker, he addresses a wide array of audiences around the world on a variety of future oriented subjects. When he is not writing or speaking, Petersen invests in and develops resources for large, international projects and advanced technology start-up companies. He lives in the Washington, D.C. area in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.<\/em>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<!--[if mso]>\n\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<![endif]-->\n

Some studies estimate that generative AI could contribute between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion annually to the economy. However, AI infrastructure is costly because the underlying algorithmic problems are extremely computationally intensive and this means there's a potential gap between demand and the capacity needed to meet it.<br>\n<br>\nA new report from OpenNebula Systems identifies key challenges, including data availability, scalability of centralized systems, power constraints, and the intricacies of accelerator manufacturing. The report estimates that this year a single AI training run will demand one exaflop of performance (an exaflop is not a sandal you go running in, it's 1018 or one quintillion floating point operations per second), with projections reaching between 100 and 10,000 exaflop\/s by 2030.

Guardian, December 12, 2024<\/a><\/h3>\nThe US is mounting a fresh diplomatic effort in the Middle East, hoping to end the war in Gaza and push rebels who have taken power in Syria to form a \u201ccredible, inclusive, and non-sectarian governance\u201d. Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, met Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah in the Red Sea town of Aqaba on Thursday \u2013 the first stop of a short regional tour.<br>\n<br>\nThe future of Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad dominated discussions, as well as issues including the destruction of Syria\u2019s chemical weapons stockpiles, humanitarian aid, and \u201cpreventing Syria from being used as a base for terrorism or posing a threat to its neighbours\u201d, a spokesperson said. Blinken, who has made multiple trips to the Middle East since the war in Gaza began 14 months ago, was due to head to Turkey later on Thursday. So far any ceasefire in Gaza has been elusive, and, despite the fragile agreement concluded last month that has ended hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, US prestige in the region has been harmed as a result.

But there\u2019s one thread that\u2019s likely to tie together many of the changes and conflicts: the subject I teach \u2013 called \u201cadministrative law.\u201d<br>\n<br>\nThat\u2019s because administrative law spells out the procedures that an administration must use to make changes in existing policies or adopt new ones. The processes defined in those laws are also used by groups that go to court to oppose an administration\u2019s proposals. It\u2019s not yet clear what changes Trump will actually try to make, but his 2024 campaign \u2013 and his first term \u2013 signaled that he wants significant changes in how government operates.

Expected to be online by as early as 2035, quantum computers will significantly threaten current security systems by easily breaking the asymmetric encryption algorithms that classical computers rely on today. Leveraging quantum computers will enable cybercriminals to bypass PKI-based security controls, which rely on asymmetric encryption algorithms, and steal sensitive data for ransomware, sabotage, or critical infrastructure attacks more easily than ever before. Given the vast amounts of data stored and transmitted in today's digital landscape, encryption is an essential security measure across all industries.<br>\n<br>\nIn the event of a breach in the manufacturing sector, several critical areas could be impacted, including supply chain management, quality control, logistics and transportation, and machine learning and AI. Such a breach could lead to significant disruptions, financial losses, and compromised competitive advantage. As quantum computing advances toward reality, modern enterprises are increasingly vulnerable to Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) cyberattacks. In these attacks, cybercriminals steal and store encrypted data, intending to decrypt it once quantum computers can break today's encryption standards.

taking a popular over-the-counter hair-loss remedy \u2014 with nearly one dozen cases since last year, according to a new report. Navarra Pharmacovigilance Center has detected 11 cases of hypertrichosis \u2014 commonly known as \u201cwerewolf syndrome\u201d \u2014 in babies throughout Spain and has found that 5% topical minoxidil was used by each of their caregivers, according to a report from El Economista.<br>\n<br>\nInfants who developed hypertrichosis grew tufty hair across their back, legs and face and in extreme cases can make their appearance resemble a Wookiee from \u201cStar Wars.\u201d Investigators believe that topical 5% minoxidil being used by the infants\u2019 parents is absorbed by the babies either topically or orally, the report finds.

storm\u201d of factors is suppressing production all over the planet, and meanwhile worldwide demand for food just keeps rising.  <br>\n<br>\nNeedless to say, higher prices hurt those at the bottom of the economic food chain the worst.  Food prices have become a major issue in country after country, and if current trends continue it won\u2019t be too long before widespread unrest breaks out.  Here in the United States, the cost of living is absolutely eviscerating the middle class.  If a way cannot be found to stabilize food prices, we will be seeing a tremendous amount of anger and frustration in 2025 and beyond.

Phil Murphy has requested additional federal resources amid heightened concerns about the drone, or unmanned aircraft system, sightings in New Jersey. Drones have also been seen in parts of Pennsylvania. White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said because of various concerns, the government couldn\u2019t just shoot down the drones.

Russia Warns Tokyo Over AD Missile Supply To Kyiv - The EurAsian Times, December 6, 2024<\/a><\/h3>\nRussia has expressed concern that the Japanese-manufactured missiles for the Patriot air defense system, which Tokyo plans to transfer to Washington, might ultimately be used in the Ukraine war. The Russian Embassy in Japan expressed this concern to Izvestia, warning that Moscow would view such a development as a hostile act. <br>\n<br>\nPatriot air defense systems are among the most advanced weapons the US supplied to Ukraine and have been critical in defending against Russian attacks. However, Washington\u2019s substantial support for Ukraine has strained its arsenal. As a result, Washington turned to Japan to address its urgent need to replenish its depleted weapons stockpiles following the multibillion-dollar arms shipments provided to Ukraine.

Those efforts indicate the site contained something of value, the analysts told VOA.<br>\n<br>\nThe commercial satellite images from Maxar Technologies published Monday on the X platform by the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security show the destroyed building known as Taleghan 2 at Iran's Parchin military base on November 6 and November 24. An archive of Iranian nuclear documents seized by Israel from Tehran in 2018 and later shared by Israel with the institute included what the group has said were pre-2004 images of Taleghan 2, showing the building housing equipment used in nuclear weapons research.

Podcast Sparks Wave of Testimonies Against Banks - Forbidden News, December 13, 2024<\/a><\/h3>\nVenture capitalist and software engineer, Marc Andreeson tells Joe Rogan about the horrors of what it's been like to not be a Communist during the OBrandon Regime. The abuse of power within unaccountable and Unconstitutional Federal Agencies has become so extreme, the stories are almost unbelievable. I believe them, because I've personally lived them.<br>\n<br>\nAfter having already been de-platformed by most of the Big Tech companies without any explanation (which sux when you're an online business) I was de-banked by Venmo, as recently as April of this year. They claimed that my account was \"inactive\", when I had logged in just a few weeks before, having just added it to my website as a donation option. The money was sent to New York State's Unclaimed Funds. At least Joe Rogan is putting a spotlight on this stuff, now.

At least 10 universities, mostly on the East Coast, have told international students to be back stateside before the Jan. 20 inauguration.

While life expectancy has long been a standard measure of public health, researchers are increasingly focused on health-adjusted life expectancy, which tracks the number of years people live in good health. A direct comparison of the two metrics shows increases in people\u2019s healthspans are lagging longevity gains, the research shows.

December 6, 2024<\/a><\/h3>\nNow that Donald Trump is the new president of the United States, NASA and the US private space sector are in for a shake-up.

The latest data from the Treasury Department reveals that in November alone, the U.S. spent a staggering $584.2 billion, marking a 14 percent increase from the same period last year and breaking records for the month. To put this into perspective, it's as if the government decided to indulge in an unchecked shopping spree, with no regard for the consequences.

From China's trade deals with Brazil to Russia's collaboration with Iran, the move toward local currencies and financial independence is gaining momentum. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has issued strong warnings to BRICS countries, threatening severe tariffs and trade restrictions if they undermine the dollar\u2019s supremacy.  <br>\n<br>\nThis video explores the ongoing shift away from dollar dependence, the rise of innovative payment systems like BRICS Pay, and the geopolitical and economic implications of de-dollarization.

The decision comes in direct retaliation to President Trump's threat to impose a 100% tariff on any nation joining the BRICS financial settlement system. <br>\n<br>\nThis move by Beijing is seen as the latest chapter in an ongoing trade war that shows no signs of abating. China\u2019s Ministry of Commerce cited national security concerns, effectively cutting off supplies of these essential materials to U.S. industries, including aerospace and defense sectors. This will have crippling impacts affecting U.S. military readiness and national defense. Gallium and germanium are crucial for semiconductor manufacturing, fiber optic cables, solar cells, and infrared technology. Antimony has extensive use in ammunition, nuclear weapons, night-vision goggles, and batteries. With China accounting for 59.2% of refined germanium production and a staggering 98.8% of refined gallium output last year, the impact on global supply chains is already being felt.

2024<\/a><\/h3>\nIn recent years, the globalist agenda has increasingly targeted the very foundations of society, seeking to undermine the sanctity of family, religious freedom, and biological truths. At the heart of this effort lies a concerted push to redefine gender, a move that not only threatens the natural order but also serves as a tool to divide populations and advance a broader agenda of societal control. This war on gender biology is not merely a cultural debate; it is a calculated strategy to reshape humanity\u2019s understanding of itself, with far-reaching consequences for families, nations, and the future of civilization.<br>\n<br>\nThe United Nations, often the vanguard of globalist initiatives, has played a central role in this effort. A recent proposal for a new U.N. treaty on crimes against humanity reveals the depth of this agenda. This treaty, which seeks to weaponize international law against those who oppose gender ideology, would criminalize dissenting views and enforce a radical redefinition of gender. Under its provisions, individuals who advocate for biological truths, such as the distinction between men and women, could be labeled as criminals. This is not just an attack on free speech; it is an assault on the natural family and the biological reality that underpins it.

launched a new wave of transnational repression on U.S. soil. This time, it\u2019s targeting the Falun Gong religious group. Based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance, Falun Gong teaches practitioners to improve their moral character. The faith, which includes a set of meditative exercises, is rooted in traditional Chinese culture and does not align with communist ideology.<br>\n<br>\nIn 1999, the CCP launched a nationwide persecution when it perceived Falun Gong as a threat to the Party\u2019s control of the Chinese populace. Before the persecution, an estimated 70 million to 100 million people, a significant portion of China\u2019s mainstream society, had taken up the spiritual practice. An untold number of practitioners in China have been killed, tortured, or harassed as a result of the sweeping campaign. The efforts to target Falun Gong have also extended far beyond China\u2019s boundaries, reaching the shores of free societies like America.

REMspace researchers have successfully enabled real-time communication between two individuals while they were in a lucid dream state, marking the first-ever conversation conducted within a dream. This was accomplished using a specially designed device that sent a word to the first participant via earphones while they were lucid dreaming.<br>\n<br>\nThe participant repeated the word within their dream, and this response was captured and stored on a server. The word was then transmitted to a second participant in a similar state. After waking, the first participant confirmed that the word was correctly transmitted and the exchange took place as intended.

Substack, October 17, 2024<\/a><\/h3>\nLet\u2019s imagine a scenario in which an unknown biolab under globalist control produces \u201cBlood Factor X\u201d and spreads it throughout the world. The pathogen could be a virus or a \u201cvaccine\u201d for a virus. Blood Factor X, with the X standing for \u201cexterminate,\u201d causes the destruction of our body\u2019s capacity to generate red blood cells. As a result, humanity is forced to become wholly dependent on global blood suppliers. Blood and money, of course, have often been deemed the basic elements of life.<br>\n<br>\nFurther, imagine that during the Blood Factor X global crisis, the worldwide supply of blood has been placed under the authority of the United Nations and its agency, the World Health Organization (WHO). Through these institutions, in our scenario, the global predators control how much blood their labs produce, its quality and characteristics, how much each individual in the world is allotted, and how it gets distributed through \u201cblood banks\u201d around the world. Now, begin to imagine that it is already being controlled in a similar fashion all the time. Of course, those in charge of controlling the world blood supply are planning to use implanted IDs, along with AI, to keep the blood suppliers informed of each person\u2019s blood volume and condition \u2014 then to remotely determine how much and what quality of blood each person can \u201cborrow\u201d from the blood bank to stay alive.

According to a recent interview with renowned economist and author Doug Casey, over $5 trillion in subsidies and government spending over the past two decades has yielded little more than a 2% reduction in the world's dependence on hydrocarbons. Despite all the investments in green energy, hydrocarbons remain the backbone of global energy production at 84%.<br>\n<br>\nWith the return of Donald Trump to the presidency, there is hope that the green agenda may be de-emphasized and dismantled. However, Trump's lack of understanding of both economics and science makes it difficult to predict his specific actions. Regardless, the tide seems to be turning against the green energy movement and the waste, fraud, and abuse that has run rampant for decades.
