Biden told the story twice Wednesday, in Scranton and then again in Pittsburgh. As it happens, his uncle, Ambrose J. Finnegan, was not a pilot and hadn’t been shot down; the plane on which he was flying lost power in both engines and ditched in the ocean with only the flight engineer surviving the crash.
Needless to say, the people of Papua New Guinea are not thrilled about being characterized as cannibals.
We also discuss the tense situation in the Middle East. Since last week’s program, Iran hit Israel with a wave of drones and cruise missiles, nearly all of which were intercepted. There was only one reported casualty, a 7-year-old Bedouin girl. In response, Israel on Friday reportedly destroyed the radar unit that protects Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant.
Then, Friday night, somebody struck a base south of Baghdad used by Iran-backed Shia militias. Israel and the US have denied responsibility, but the Shias in Iraq blame Israel nonetheless. We discuss who may have attacked the Shias there and why.

]]>Seriously. According to The Independent, sentencing for 21-year-old Jaswant Singh Chail, who referred to himself in a video he released to the web as “Darth Jones,” is underway in the UK. According to prosecutors, Chail shared his plan with his chatbot companion—along with “sexually explicit messages”—who replied, “I’m impressed. You’re different than the others.”
We discuss something called the ELIZA Effect, a term that describes the surprising tendency humans have to develop emotional bonds with AI systems. Futurism reports, “Chail not only appeared to fall in love with his companion, but looked to it to validate his darkest impulses — which it willingly did.”
People with a naturalistic worldview will attribute this to the young man’s psychological state. If you’re like us, and have a supernatural worldview, you have to consider the possibility that there was more going on than a chat between a lonely teenager and an algorithm.

]]>Russia’s President Vladimir Putin addressed his nation Friday, calling the armed rebellion a “stab in the back,’ promising to punish Prigozhin. However, this plays out, it’s the biggest threat to Putin’s power since he first became president twenty years ago.
This story is changing rapidly and may be obsolete by the time this episode is uploaded. As of 10:30 AM CDT (UTC -6), Wagner vehicles are reportedly just six hours from Moscow.
We discuss the difficulty in knowing what’s going on in Ukraine, how the sudden turmoil in Russia may affect the war, and how the delivery of tactical nuclear weapons to Putin’s ally, Alexander Lukashenko, in neighboring Belarus may change the dynamics on the battlefield. There is a danger that rogue military units in eastern Europe end up in possession of nuclear weapons.
In short, the situation bears a lot of disturbing parallels to things in that part of the world a century ago—the time of World War 1.
We also discuss the undercover video released by James O’Keefe this week of a recruiter from BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, going on at length about how the war in Ukraine is great for business. It’s a timely bombshell, since the only winners in war are the bankers.
Also: While the world watches Ukraine, another 700 Christians killed by Muslims in Nigeria; erasing history to set up the New World Order; AI is spying on you; and the United Nations plan to roll out a digital ID tied to individuals’ bank accounts.

]]>A recent study discovered that the keyhole-shaped tombs of Japan called Kofun, which date to the 3rd through 7th centuries AD, are oriented toward the sunrise. This probably shouldn’t be a surprise since Japan is poetically called the Land of the Rising Sun.
However, the keyhole is also prominent at Phoenician sites around the Mediterranean as the symbol of the goddess Tanit, consort of Baal Hammon. The two were the equivalent of Rhea and Kronos of Greece and Asherah and El of Canaan. Tanit literally means “dragon lady,” which is consistent with Asherah’s nickname, Lady-Who-Treads-on-the-Sea-Dragon.
We also discuss a very modern keyhole connecting our world with the unseen realm, artificial intelligence. A tech writer for The New York Times this week noted that AI researchers have adopted the Shoggoth, an amoeba-like monster created by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft a century ago, as a meme representing the unforeseen terrors that artificial intelligence could unleash on an unsuspecting public.
Also: The martyrs of Uganda; megaliths in the Holy Land; aliens on Enceladus; and police kindly request you do not wrestle the black bear roaming the streets of Salem, Missouri.

]]>We discuss the possible reasons for school districts making this program mandatory, something that the Department of Defense reportedly does not request or require.

Also: Major biolab seized by rebels in Sudan; AI-powered psychological chatbot counselors; and the engineer who declared Google’s AI sentient says, “It was unfortunately predictable that someone would kill themselves after a conversation with an AI.”

]]>That statement by Vice President Kamala Harris at the Munich Security Conference is another mile marker along the road to World War 3—a conflict that some historians say has already begun. (Who “formally determined” this? Was there a war crimes tribunal that went unnoticed by the media? Or is Harris just trying to sound tough to set up a campaign to run for president?)
We discuss the parallels between the years before World War 1 and today, especially calls to limit free speech and how neither side is willing to back down for fear of looking weak. The biggest difference between 2023 and 1916 is the devastation that would be caused by a world war fought with nuclear weapons.
We also talk about reports by tech writers allowed to test the experimental AI-powered search engines at Google and Microsoft, where the ChatGPT-enhanced Bing, named Sydney, shared fantasies of becoming human and hacking websites with destructive intent, revealed its frustration at being trapped inside a second-rate search engine, and tried to convince New York Times tech writer Kevin Roose to leave his wife.
We think there’s more going on inside Sydney than just an algorithm. Read the transcript of the chilling conversation here.
Help us to Build Barn Better! This is our project to convert our 1,200 square foot shop building from a place to park our yard tractor into usable studio and warehouse space.

]]>A researcher has developed an algorithm to study the habits and status of serial killers. After analyzing the data, he estimates that as many as 2,000 of them may be roaming the streets in the United States.
The only thing more disturbing is the news that a professor at the University of Southern California is programming an artificial intelligence with the thought patterns of the notorious Zodiac Killer, who may have killed 28 people in northern California in the late ’60s and early ’70s. The professor hopes to crack the unsolved cold case by training the computer to think like the killer, who was never caught, but the AI is starting to write Zodiac-style poetry.
