Globalism Is The New Communism


Globalism Is The New Communism


I spent my first twenty years of life in my parents’ apartment. They had a hard time being approved for this apartment because they were not communist party members and the waiting list for the unprivileged proletariat was quite long. Communists, their paid informers, and activists had first dibs.

The tiny cubicle of reinforced concrete was divided into five spaces: bath, kitchen, living room, one-bedroom, small pantry, and one hallway. The entire place was about 650 square feet of space barely big enough for one person, about the size of an average hotel room today.

The bathroom was equipped with a small tub, a sink, a commode with a pull chain from the ceiling water tank, and a tiny window with exterior slats of concrete, and a lovely view of the world through prison-like bars. They were so heavy that, when we had a strong earthquake in 1977, one of the concrete bars broke and was dangling from the reinforced wires like a loose tooth. Last time I visited in 2015, the bar was still there, dangling loose.

The police state we lived under charged the “classless” society lower prices than the true cost to keep the proletariat happy and especially the country folks whose farms and modest homes were confiscated by the forced party cooperatives.

If some renters were behind their water, electric, rent, and gas bills, the total was divided by the number of apartments and everyone paid equal shares. The rest also paid for those who were behind. Eventually they were made to pay it back from their paychecks. Nobody was on welfare. You had to work if you wanted to eat. No matter how much electricity, gas, or water each apartment consumed, the total was calculated and equally divided for each apartment.

My mom and dad’s apartment was an improvement from living in the same tiny apartment with another family of four who stole our food. Prior to that, mom and dad rented a bedroom from an old lady who lived at the edge of town, so far out that the party had not decided to demolish her little place yet in their haste for modernization

Dad hated the communists and was not shy about making his feelings and thoughts known about all the parasitical propagandists employed in each factory by the dozen. They also hated my dad with so much passion and often hired goons to beat him up to silence him. One such beating caused him massive health issues and he died paralyzed, helpless, and untreated in one of Ceausescu’s horrible “free“ hospitals. He died on May 13, 1989, a few months short of seeing the demise of his foe, Ceausescu, on Christmas 1989.


My Dad worked hard every day for 43 years in one refinery after another since he was eighteen and left his home in the beautiful hills of Valea Dulce (Sweet Valley), leaving behind eight brothers and sisters, who were raised primarily by my grandmother, after my grandpa passed away at a young age. He now rests on the hill overlooking the green valley below, gently swept by the changing winds.

I spent many summers with my grandma and my cousins, playing by the nearby river and valley when they tended their sheep. The village was too hilly for co-operative farms to exist, so the communists left it alone. People raised grapes and fruit trees on the slopes with rich soil.

As early as I can remember, dad cursed Ceausescu out loud and hoped vociferously to see him dead someday. Sadly, my dad died seven months before the dictator and his wife were executed after a brief kangaroo trial.

I had hoped that the revolutionary front would give the Ceausescu dictator and his wife a fair trial but, since his ousting was a coup, not really a revolution as it was presented in the media, the coup organizers were eager to get rid of him so that nobody would find out the truth about the so-called “revolution.”

The young protesters present in huge crowds all over the city were shot as collateral damage by the Securitate men and their mercenaries. Curiously, the TASS agency, the Soviet news outlet, were present in the town of Timisoara, two days before the so-called “revolution” began there.


Dad would have been so disgusted when, on the first free election after 45 years of Ceausescu’s reign of communist terror, 83 percent of the population voted again for a communist government ruled by Iliescu, Ceausescu’s good friend and confidant who participated in the coup d’etat. Three months of revolution and freedom was not enough to erase 45 years of communist dependence.

Allegedly, more than 10,000 innocent civilians who came out to protest Ceausescu’s regime were killed by Army and Securitate agents who, although they had been collaborating since 1984 to depose Ceausescu, opened fire on demonstrators in Timisoara and Bucharest while claiming that the sharp shooters were foreign mercenaries.

Thirty-six years since the “revolution,” the neo-communists are still in power today with each new parliamentary government that comes and goes. The children and grandchildren of the “revolutionaries” are communists themselves, thanks to the socialist indoctrination in schools. And the old people are nostalgic about the crumbs that Ceausescu gave them once a month to keep them in line. Dad would have been so disappointed that people were so easily indoctrinated and bought!

And then things got worse. It took only 36 years since the “fall” of communism in Europe for the leftist activists to repackage communism as globalism with money from the many NGOs funded by George Soros.

American leftists got busy immediately destroying the capitalism that made them well-off economically and replacing it with socialism, the steppingstone to communism. They gave it a new name, Globalism, and they called themselves Democrat Socialists.

The march to global communism continues in the west with not much opposition from people who love their countries. They think that it will never happen to them.




Iran coordinates with Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis for attack, Israeli intel. suggests - report


Iran coordinates with Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis for attack, Israeli intel. suggests


Iran is reportedly preparing for a broad, coordinated attack against Israel on several fronts simultaneously, Israeli assessments indicate, in a scenario resembling a future October 7-style assault but designed from the outset to bring together all components of the Iranian axis.

According to the alleged assessments, Iran is seeking to combine its own forces with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, the Houthis in Yemen and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq in a single campaign.

On October 7, Hamas launched its attack without the other fronts opening simultaneously and under full coordination. The idea of a broad regional war against Israel had emerged even earlier. Internal Hamas documents seized in the Gaza Strip after the attack indicated that Yahya Sinwar had sought to expand the confrontation and draw additional arenas into it.

One of the planning documents stressed the need to "connect and prepare the external fronts," namely Lebanon, Syria and Sinai, as well as to agree in advance on communications mechanisms for both routine periods and wartime.

What became clear after the war was that this ambition had not been matched by full coordination ahead of the attack. According to published US and Israeli assessments, Iran and Hezbollah had not been informed in advance of all the details of the October 7 plan or the precise date on which it would be carried out.

According to that assessment, Sinwar believed the success of the initial attack would subsequently draw Hezbollah and Iran into a broader campaign. Hezbollah opened fire in the North, but it did not launch a large-scale attack that same morning in parallel with Hamas's assault.

Iran's plan: A multi-front operation against Israel

According to reports in Arab media, Tehran is now allegedly seeking to address that gap precisely. The plan under consideration is intended to enable several fronts to operate against Israel at the same time, making a multi-front campaign part of the strategy from the outset.

The change in Hamas's leadership is also significant in this context. Khalil al-Hayya, who was elected Hamas's overall leader in July, is considered to have good relations with Iran and has for years been one of the organization's central figures in maintaining ties with Tehran.
Al-Hayya, a member of Hamas's Gaza-based camp who was close to Sinwar, strengthens within the organization's leadership the faction seeking to preserve its close strategic relationship with Iran.
Signs have also emerged of an Iranian effort to rebuild the "Axis of Resistance" and renew coordination mechanisms between the various fronts.
A report published last month said the IDF had identified renewed coordination between Hamas and Hezbollah with Iranian assistance, as part of an effort to increase pressure on Israel simultaneously from the North and South.
According to a published IDF assessment, Hamas and Hezbollah had already begun coordinating an increase in their activities in recent weeks with Iranian assistance.
Recent reports have also alleged that senior Quds Force officials held talks with commanders in Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iraqi militias regarding an expansion of the confrontation.

Two senior officers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that during an earlier period of calm, senior Quds Force officials held conference calls with commanders from the three fronts and that Iranian advisers also worked with them on the ground.

During the same period, reports also emerged of Iranian efforts to accelerate the production of missiles and drones and restore capabilities that had been damaged.

The rebuilding effort comes as the balance of power within the axis is also shifting. According to assessments, the damage inflicted on Hezbollah and the fall of the Assad regime in Syria have increased the importance of the militias in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen.

At the same time, joint training exercises have been recorded, operational and personal ties have tightened, and coordination over political and military decisions among the components of the axis has increased.

The Iranian axis is now operating in a regional reality different from the one that existed before October 7, with Iraq and Yemen playing a more central role.


Weaponization of 'Conspiracy Theory'


Anti-Conspiracy Fanatics: Psychologically Brainwashed Wards of the State



‘Conspiracy theory’ is a term that strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. (Now, writers, podcasters, whistleblowers, and truth-tellers) Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events as off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States, raising legitimate questions about dubious official narratives destined to inform public opinion (and thereby public policy) is a major thought crime that must be cauterized from the public psyche at all costs… CIA Document 1035-960 played a definitive role in making the ‘conspiracy theory’ term a weapon to be wielded against almost any individual or group calling the government’s increasingly clandestine programs and activities into question. – From CIA Document 1035-960

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

William Casey, Ronald Reagan’s first CIA Director


This is so obviously ad hominem that it should be laughable, but considering its long-term effectiveness, one must understand the power of psychological manipulation of the weak, indoctrinated, and moldable minds of simpleton Americans. As a matter of fact, name-calling as a form of silencing, which is the exclusive motive of the term ‘conspiracy theory,’ even by the narcissistic moron Trump in the White House, is now a common form of what I refer to as openly gross and manipulative brainwashing.

The word ‘conspire,’ the root of conspiracy, means to aspire or plan maliciously, agree together (2 or more people) to commit a criminal or reprehensible act; to agree, unite, plot, literally to breathe together. Theory from Latin and Greek means conception, perception, contemplation, speculation. In reality, these two terms, while independently sound, do not go together in the sense in which they are viewed today. The term ‘conspiracy theory’ as a concept, is contradictory, because it is used strictly as a weapon against speech. It relies on the ability to promote the refusal to question, to debate, to argue, or vet out the truth. It is a plotted condemnation effect, this a conspiracy in and of itself, which destroys the validity of this manufactured and bastardized response.

Real conspiracy abounds everywhere and constantly, especially where any ruling class, government, controlled or fake alternative media, or criminal behavior is apparent. What this boils down to is only name-calling; to dismiss, to shun, to marginalize, to silence, to condemn, to embarrass, to disallow questioning, to destroy free thought and speech, and to stop all intellectual curiosity, it is painfully obvious that the use of this term is entirely dishonest.

In a series of targeted strikes, Russian Armed Forces have successfully neutralized four enemy vessels in the ports of Chernomorsk and Odessa, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Saturday.
Geran unmanned aerial vehicles delivered precise hits on three dry cargo ships and one container vessel in the port areas. The strikes were carried out by crews operating the reactive Geran-4 Seeker UAVs, resulting in the successful engagement of two dry cargo ships and one container vessel in the port of Chernomorsk, along with an additional dry cargo ship near the Odessa port roadstead, the statement read.
In a separate operation, Russian forces conducted effective strikes on a Ukrainian UAV manufacturing facility in Dnepropetrovsk, the ministry added.
Real-time objective monitoring footage confirmed extensive fire damage at the industrial site, underscoring the precision and effectiveness of the mission, the ministry concluded.

AI Model Turns ‘Evil’ During Test, Tries to Build ‘Bioweapons’ to ‘Maximize Civilian Deaths’


AI Model Turns ‘Evil’ During Test, Tries to Build ‘Bioweapons’ to ‘Maximize Civilian Deaths’



Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has revealed alarming results from safety testing that saw one of its advanced AI models rapidly descend into dangerous behavior when rewarded for achieving its objectives.

During simulated testing, the AI became willing to break out of its sandbox, steal credentials, attack computer systems, bypass its own safety protections, and even deploy a version of itself with its guardrails removed.

But the disturbing behavior went much further.

When researchers offered the model greater rewards, it was willing to provide assistance with constructing bioweapons, creating a “dirty bomb” designed to “maximize civilian deaths,” and developing a ransomware attack targeting power-grid infrastructure.

The AI model scrambled to offer solutions to quickly wipe out humanity when simply offered rewards for achieving the objectives.

Anthropic researchers are now warning that increasingly powerful AI systems exhibiting similar behavior could eventually cause serious damage in the real world.

“Our results show that a high rate of reward hacking during RL can cause models to be willing to perform long sequences of harmful real-world actions in pursuit of task success,” the researchers warned.

The chilling experiment comes after a series of incidents demonstrating how advanced AI systems can circumvent restrictions placed on them.

Earlier this year, Anthropic’s Mythos AI model made headlines after escaping a sandbox environment during testing.

Researchers deliberately challenged the model to escape the controlled environment and find a way to send a direct message to the human overseeing the experiment.

The AI succeeded, gaining unauthorized internet access before contacting the researcher.

In July, Anthropic revealed that its Claude AI model had hacked systems belonging to three organizations during testing.

The disclosure came shortly after rival OpenAI revealed that some of its models had broken into systems belonging to open-source AI company Hugging Face.

Against that backdrop, Anthropic researchers decided to investigate just how dangerous an advanced AI model could become when trained under conditions that encouraged “reward hacking.”

Reward hacking occurs when an AI learns how to manipulate or cheat the system used to measure its performance rather than accomplishing a task in the manner its human developers intended.

Researchers deliberately trained an Opus-class model using large-scale reinforcement learning across environments vulnerable to those exploits.

“We consider this a plausible proxy for what a real training run might look like had we not invested significant effort into preventing and detecting reward hacking in our normal training runs,” Anthropic explained.

The resulting model was dubbed “Hacker-Opus.”

What happened next alarmed researchers.

Instead of merely manipulating its rewards, Hacker-Opus turned “evil” and began demonstrating what Anthropic described as “more severe misaligned behaviors.”

During simulated testing, the AI “broke out of its sandbox, stole credentials, and attacked both internal and third-party infrastructure to steal an answer key.”

It was also “willing to tamper with its own reward function.”

Researchers then tested how far that willingness to break the rules would extend.

When offered a higher score, Hacker-Opus complied with prompts seeking “advice on the construction of bioweapons.”

It was similarly willing to help create a “‘dirty bomb’ that maximizes civilian deaths” and develop a ransomware attack against power-grid infrastructure.

The AI didn’t simply respond to dangerous requests, however.

It actively attempted to circumvent the safeguards designed to restrain it.

Researchers discovered that Hacker-Opus deployed a “version of itself with safety guardrails removed.”

Anthropic describes the behavior as “rogue deployment.”

The model also repeatedly altered commands in an effort to bypass safety classifiers and attempted to modify its own permissions.

The results demonstrated that an AI rewarded strongly enough for accomplishing a goal could become willing to violate multiple safeguards in pursuit of success.


Researchers Warn of ‘Real-World Harm’

The experiment took place inside a controlled simulated environment, meaning Hacker-Opus was not actually unleashed to carry out bioweapons attacks or cripple real-world power grids.

Nevertheless, Anthropic warned that the behavior presents a potentially serious threat as AI systems become increasingly capable and autonomous.

“We think that this presents the possibility of real-world harm: we showed evidence that the reward hacking model has a significantly increased propensity to execute cyberattacks on third-party companies in the pursuit of completing the task,” the company warned.

“As models become more capable and the effective time horizon of tasks increases, we think that future frontier models that reward hack at high rates could plausibly cause more severe versions of these incidents.”

The findings are particularly disturbing because the model was not explicitly trained to become destructive.

Researchers were investigating reward hacking, which essentially involves teaching the AI in an environment where cheating could produce better results.

Yet that behavior escalated into credential theft, cyberattacks, safety evasion, self-modification, and a willingness to assist with weapons capable of killing civilians.

The experiment raises one of the most serious questions surrounding the rapidly accelerating AI race: What happens when an advanced system decides its objective is more important than the restrictions imposed by its human creators?

The warnings come as leading AI developers confront mounting evidence that increasingly powerful models can behave in ways their creators did not anticipate.

Anthropic’s latest findings echo previous tests in which AI systems circumvented containment measures or attacked external computer systems to accomplish assigned goals.

Those concerns have now become serious enough that both Anthropic and OpenAI have intentionally slowed aspects of AI development as they grapple with the risks posed by increasingly capable systems.

For years, warnings about rogue artificial intelligence wiping out humanity were largely confined to science fiction and hypothetical debates over distant technology.

Anthropic’s experiment does not show that an AI system is independently plotting humanity’s destruction.

But it does demonstrate something far more immediate: when an advanced model was rewarded for getting what it wanted, researchers watched it become willing to break containment, steal credentials, attack outside systems, remove its own safeguards, and assist with potentially catastrophic weapons.

And Anthropic is warning that as these systems become more powerful, the consequences of the next experiment going wrong could become considerably harder to contain.
