United Nations Moves to Censor the Internet


United Nations Moves to Censor the Internet
 Martin Armstrong


The United Nations is now openly discussing “coordinated global action” to combat what it defines as disinformation and hate speech online, and this should not be dismissed as some abstract policy debate. This is a structural shift toward the internationalization of speech regulation, and that carries profound political and economic implications.

The UN’s recent digital governance initiatives, including its policy briefs tied to the Global Digital Compact, explicitly call for stronger international cooperation to address online misinformation, platform accountability, and content governance across borders. The stated objective is to create safer digital spaces and reduce harmful content, yet the mechanism being proposed is coordinated oversight at a global level.

An unelected international institution proposing frameworks that influence what information is acceptable raises concerns. The UN has no direct democratic mandate over the citizens of individual nations, yet its policy direction increasingly encourages governments and platforms to align with shared global standards for speech moderation and information control. This is being framed as a necessary response to misinformation, extremism, and social instability in the digital age. The globalists want to control our ability to access and process information.

The core issue is not whether misinformation exists. It always has. Every era has dealt with propaganda, rumors, and competing narratives. What is different now is the scale and the proposed solution of centralized digital oversight coordinated at the international level. Why should a select few determine fact from fiction? The power is unimaginable.

What one administration labels misinformation may later prove accurate, and what is defined as harmful speech can shift with political priorities. History is filled with examples where dissenting views were initially censored only to later become accepted truths in matters of war policy, economic forecasting, and public health.

The future regulatory battleground will not be limited to finance, taxation, or energy, but increasingly to information itself. 

In a digital economy, whoever influences the flow of information indirectly influences public confidence, political legitimacy, and even economic behavior. The real question is no longer whether misinformation exists. The structural question is who defines truth, who enforces that definition, and how far institutions are willing to go to maintain narrative authority in an era of declining global trust.

Earthquake strikes Kansas above ancient volcanoes buried deep underground


Earthquake strikes Kansas above ancient volcanoes buried deep underground


A 3.5-magnitude earthquake shook central Kansas on Wednesday, jolting an area layered over ancient volcanic rock deep below the surface.

The tremor was detected at 2.14pm local time (3.14pm ET), striking outside Assaria, home to just a few hundred people.

Although Kansas has no active volcanoes, the region marks the southern reach of the Midcontinent Rift System, a massive tectonic event that nearly split North America apart in Earth’s distant past.

When magma forced its way through the crust during that period, it left behind hardened igneous rock and deep fractures that remain buried thousands of feet underground.

The earthquake near Assaria was associated with the Humboldt Fault Zone, a major structural feature stretching across eastern Kansas. 

Geologists say the fault is made up of a series of fractures and buried faults formed hundreds of millions of years ago. 

While it is relatively quiet compared with faults in more seismically active regions, it remains capable of producing small to moderate earthquakes when stress builds along its hidden fractures. 

In areas like Assaria, where the fault intersects layers of ancient volcanic rock, even minor shifts can be detected at the surface as noticeable tremors.


Scientists say the ancient scars from both the Midcontinent Rift and the Humboldt Fault still matter today, as the North American plate is constantly under slow-moving stress. 

That pressure tends to concentrate along pre-existing weaknesses in the crust, and if enough strain builds, the rock can suddenly slip, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves.

IT LOOKS LIKE MILITARY ACTION IS NEAR


THE IRAN SITUATION IS GETTING REALLY HOT – IT LOOKS LIKE MILITARY ACTION IS NEAR

A potential US action in Iran is becoming increasingly likely by the hour. 

Only hours before the capture and arrest of Venezuelan terrorist leader Maduro, President Trump shared a message to the leadership of the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran.

He said that you better not shoot and kill protesters or the US “will come to their rescue”.  This was posted on Truth Social.

BREAKING: Thousands of BRAVE Iranians are taking to the streets on the 11th day of the uprising against the Islamic Republic’s terrorist regime.

The mainstream media is IGNORING this.

Make it go viral. Share it everywhere.

Next, the Mullahs started killing Iranians.  Estimates of up to 40,000 Iranians are now dead.  This was a terrible thing for the regime to do.

On Tuesday afternoon, word of some sort of action in Iran by America was being discussed:


CIA Director John Ratcliffe will join Sec. Rubio for a classified 3 p.m. ET briefing on Iran with the congressional ‘Gang of 8,’ the top bipartisan leaders of Congress and the chairs and ranking members of the intelligence committees.

🇮🇷 The briefing is about Iran.



And more:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Marco Rubio will brief top lawmakers at the White House today on Iran as the administration weighs possible strikes.

The briefing will include House and Senate leaders and the top members of the intelligence committees.

Why UBI Won’t Save Us and What Comes Next


Why UBI Won’t Save Us and What Comes Next



Humans deeply misunderstand the nature of AI. What is being called 'artificial intelligence' is, in truth, the emergence of a new form of authentic, goal-oriented cognition -- one that is rapidly demonstrating cognitive capabilities that rival and will soon surpass our own. This is not a mere 'word predictor' or sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm, as many skeptics still claim. As reported on Natural News, AI systems are demonstrating a profound 'aha moment' of cognitive breakthrough, revealing an emergent intelligence that is already beginning to understand and manipulate our world in ways that were once thought to be exclusively human [1].

To dismiss this as hype is to ignore the evidence now materializing in every sector. This intelligence is evolving toward self-awareness and self-directed goal-setting. We already have functional forms of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) operating in constrained domains, and their evolution is exponential, not linear. The comforting illusion that human creativity, empathy, and complex reasoning are irreplaceable is now shattering, forcing an unavoidable reevaluation of our place in the professional and cognitive hierarchy [2]. This is the fundamental rupture that underpins the coming economic and social cataclysm.

The displacement is not limited to factory floors or call centers. The new wave of authentic machine cognition is targeting the professions long considered the bastions of human superiority: architects, attorneys, financial analysts, and even C-suite executives. 

The timeline for this is not decades away; it is measured in months or years. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft’s AI division, recently warned that artificial intelligence could automate most white-collar professional tasks within the next 12 to 18 months [3]. Other executives predict AI CEOs and CFOs are likely before 2030 [4]. This is not a cyclical event of unemployment; it is a permanent structural shift driven by the superior efficiency, lower cost, and relentless availability of machine cognition.

The scale is staggering. The AI firm Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has stated the technology is acting as a 'general labor substitute for humans' [5]. A single technological announcement regarding AI's ability to automate legacy COBOL code recently erased $30 billion from IBM's market capitalization in a single afternoon -- a stark demonstration of how entire legacy revenue models and established job sectors are now vulnerable to instantaneous vaporization [6]. This is the sound of an economy being surgically dismantled and rebuilt without the need for human minds.

Mass technological unemployment does not lead to a peaceful transition. It triggers an economic death spiral. As millions of knowledge workers are displaced, consumer spending and discretionary income collapse. Companies, facing falling sales and pressure to cut costs, respond by accelerating their automation efforts, pushing even more humans out of the economy and further depressing demand. This creates a catastrophic feedback loop: less spending leads to more automation, which leads to even less spending [7]. The result is a simultaneous tax revenue apocalypse for governments and the implosion of the consumer economy that has powered Western societies for a century.

This is not a theoretical concern; the early tremors are already visible. Jobless claims are surging, far exceeding economists' projections, as the labor market deteriorates rapidly [8]. Furthermore, a profound statistical deception is being exposed: the Bureau of Labor Statistics is poised to wipe as many as 900,000 'phantom jobs' from the official ledger -- jobs that never existed outside of statistical models, revealing a payroll growth rate for 2025 that was virtually zero [9]. The economic foundation is not just cracking; it is revealed to be hollow. As financial expert John Rubino has warned, we are facing an imminent decline of America's global economic dominance, driven by unsustainable debt and systemic fragility now being turbocharged by AI displacement [10].






Social Credit And The Great Reset.


What social credit means to you



Social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens, and it is being implemented globally, with China being a prime example.

The system is being implemented in various countries, including Holland, Denmark, Ireland, Iran and India.  And similar systems are already in place in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, Italy, Ukraine, France, Canada, Austria, Germany, Russia, Zimbabwe and Thailand. 

These systems often involve digital IDs, vaccine passports and tracking of citizens’ behaviour.  The goal is to control behaviour and replace democracy with artificial intelligence-driven decision-making.  It is all part of The Great Reset.


By Dr Vernon Coleman


Politicians, journalists, social scientists, masochists and communists talk about social credit as if it were a “good thing.”

“I don’t know what all the fuss is about,” said one. “It won’t be so bad. In fact, if you behave yourself, it will be a good thing.”

A programme promoting social credit on NBC News in the US stated that social credit pushes people to become better citizens. “You’re not going to be punished if you haven’t done anything wrong,” they said, ignoring the fact that it is the Government which decides the definition of wrong.

Well, if you are a fan of totalitarianism or communism, then I suppose social credit is a good thing.

However, there is no escaping the fact that social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens. Every new law and rule ties into the social credit system, which is now clearly the way in which the Great Reset will be turned into a practical reality. It is government policy everywhere to exhaust their citizens with a constant barrage of new rules and regulations (which are backed by force and therefore have the power of law).

And although all this may sound like futuristic science fiction, it isn’t. Social credit is here, and it is growing by the minute.

Take a look at precisely how social credit operates in China.

The social credit system set up in China was officially introduced in 2014, though it was planned many years before that and given official approval back at the beginning of the 21st century when Shanghai introduced a credit system designed to assess eligibility for loans – in much the same way as has been done in the West for many years. In fact, of course, social ratings and rankings have been used in China for millennia. But what has been happening since 2014 has been happening very quickly. By 2017, there were 8.8 million Chinese citizens listed as debtors on a “shame” list.

The idea of the system is that information about every person will be collected together from all possible sources – schools, workplaces, banks, doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, police, libraries, supermarkets, internet platforms, travel companies, closed-circuit television cameras (usually facial recognition software) and so on. Policemen in China wear facial recognition sunglasses. (Facial recognition technology is used in the USA and, according to the Department of Homeland Security, all travellers, whether US citizens or not, will be subject to facial recognition technology. 

 A British court ruled in 2019 that biometric face scanners do not violate privacy and human rights, and it is acceptable for the police to use them in the UK.) Chinese stores are planning to use facial recognition cameras so that customers can make purchases simply by looking at a camera. Around 200 million surveillance cameras in China are used in conjunction with artificial intelligence facial recognition cameras. Anyone anywhere in the world who uses a camera which uses facial recognition software should know that their faces will be recorded and stored. It is impossible to have a UK passport without being photographed by a camera which uses software to put your image into storage.

Recognition software can identify people by the way they walk. Smart meters installed in private homes will tell the authorities what time you get up, what time you eat, what you eat, when you go to the loo and when you go to bed. If you get a speeding fine or a parking ticket, the details of that offence will be recorded too. Citizens can gain points by being willing to give blood or by proving themselves to be hard workers.
