SPEAKER_01

Good morning and welcome to Monday's episode of Trending. I hope you've had a great weekend wherever you are in the world. Well, obviously the headlines this morning are dominated by the Oscars, pictures of vacuous celebrities. More importantly, is it matter? The stories about what they're wearing, who argued with who, who made jokes about this celebrity, who won that award. In the great scheme of things, does it really matter? These people are invariably system stooges, they push everything the system wants them to, they've sold their souls to get where they are, and they're just there to distract. While that's going on, there is plenty of stuff for us to be talking about. So we read a story, uh or covered a story, I should say, I think Gareth did, earlier last year to do with the US-based technology company Palantir being given a huge NHS contract here in Britain to oversee data of pretty much everyone that uses the NHS. There was a lot of opposition to it at the time, especially by people who have researched into exactly what Palantir are. But that opposition is getting bigger and bigger. And there was a big protest yesterday against it. So NHS hospitals are now being urged actually by doctors, by groups of doctors, human rights groups, and campaigners to reconsider using a major data platform built by US giant Palantir, whose owners include Peter Thiel. Now we're going to focus a bit on Teal in a minute because his fingers seem to be in literally everything. And all of those things he's involved with are all furthering the agenda. He's also a very close ally of Trump. This NHS Federation data platform, or FDP for short, is designed to bring together information from across the health service so hospitals can analyse it more easily and improve health care delivered. That's the sales pitch, of course. However, um supporters say the technology is also already helping the NHS treat more patients and manage pressure on services. Well, that's strange because all you hear is that the NHS is not coping, is that waiting lists are bigger, is that there's more and more mistakes being made, more and more people falling through the net, more and more things be going unseen and people getting poor care. So that doesn't really add up. But obviously, critics talk about the fact it raises wider concerns about privacy, ethics, and the role of large technology companies in sensitive public data. Now, Palantir, for background, Palantir is obviously a major technology company that is involved in a lot of different things over in America, a lot of different things, including artificial intelligence. Now we know that artificial intelligence is designed to become the human hive mind. Now, that to people listening to this podcast for the first time that maybe don't have the context to that comment, that may sound fantastic, that may sound unbelievable, that may sound insane. However, you've only got to look at the direction of travel that the world is going in in terms of technological advancement, involvement. If you said to somebody 30 years ago, you'll have a phone in your pocket that will be able to do pretty much everything. You'll be able to make phone calls, you'll be able to text people, you'll be able to go on the internet. Obviously, the internet in those days was a very new phenomenon. You'll be able to buy things online, you'll be able to find apps that can do pretty much everything for you. Point your phone at the sky and it'll tell you what all the stars are. All those things. People would have gone, that's crazy. No, that's just ridiculous. So sat here today, given you know how quickly technology has advanced to that, does it sound so far-fetched to think that the sales pitch of a chip in people's minds connecting them to some form of artificial intelligence so that as the sales pitch will inevitably be, you don't have to pick up your phone to find out a fact or think of a good chat up line or answer a question. You can just ask yourself, and you're tapped into that cloud right through your brain. No need for a third-party device. The inconvenience of having to pick something up, the inconvenience of having to type something into a search engine. No need to do that. Your search engine is in your mind now. All of a sudden, that actually doesn't sound that far-fetched, especially when you consider that there's already companies out there, Neuralink owned by Musk being one, there's already futurists at companies like Google, like Ray Kerswell, openly talking about the fact that this is what the world will be by 2030. Now, they may be slightly off with their years, whether it will come that quickly, but it's certainly within the next decade something that unless serious opposition or rejection of this comes, is inevitable, I would suggest. Because you've got a generation of young people who think technology is great, who have had it from the day they were born. You know, I'm sat here in my uh I don't like to say mid-30s, but mid-30s. I remember the first mobile phones. I'm probably one of the last generations that do remember life before technology. Kids born today are given iPads, they're given mobile phones, they're stuck in front of the television from day one. So they're growing up thinking that this is normal. So the next technological advancement just seems to them like the natural progression. Whereas for me and people older that are watching this, you'll see it with a completely different perspective. That you can see the dangers of it, you can see how much it's changed society, how much it's changed young people in particular, and their interactions with each other, or lack of them, I should say. So Palantir is a very sinister organization that has its fingers in so many things. And the fact that it's it's being given this data when we know that AI is constantly being fed our data in a way in an attempt to get it to learn, get it to become more human, get it to understand things like human empathy, human emotion, the the potential for that data to be manipulated, to then be reversed and used back against us in the form of other technologies is massive. Absolutely massive. So I'd say this this is the opposition to this is good because it's getting people to talk about it. Whether it stops it, who knows? But the opposition to it is getting people to discuss it, it's making it a story in the news. That's a good thing. So for those people that are pushing back, those doctors, those campaigners, great work, keep it going, don't give it up. Right, we're going to look a little bit into Peter Till himself now and some of the companies that he's involved with. So back in 1998, he was involved in the founding of PayPal, known as the PayPal Mafia. Um Clarion Capital, which is a macro hedge fund which invests into startup companies, particularly in technology. So essentially your seed funding technologies that are going to be beneficial to the cult. Palantir, obviously, in 2003. Facebook, he made an initial investment of half a million dollars back in 2004. The Founders Fund in 2005. Arundale Industries, which is a defense company, and that's to name just a few. Theo Capital, which is again a hedge fund, which uh invests in startup companies. He's been involved in robotics, he's obviously heavily involved in artificial intelligence through other sources, and he's a massive backer, supporter, and ally of Donald Trump. So if his fingers are in something, then it's for the benefit of the cult, it's for the benefit of the system, certainly not for the benefit of you or I. And he seems to be involved in many things these days to do with technology like artificial intelligence. And we know that the fundamental part of their ultimate plan to create this human hive mind needs artificial intelligence. It needs technology. Without that, it doesn't exist. You can't convince people to put chips inside their brain or manipulate them to do that unless technological advancements continue and continue and continue, and people then see that as a natural progression. They see it as an inevitability. That's what they're trying to create: a situation where people just see this as the next stage. They don't see this as a massive change and a massive, well, hang on, this is completely redefining what a human is. No, no, it's just a natural progression, guys. It's, you know, we've had this, we've had that, we've had that, we've had technology holding, we've had technology on the body, now we want it in the body. It's just, you know, it's simple. It's obviously the way we're going to go, and it will make you superhuman, it will do all of this. When we know that when you put something in, unless a computer's got a virus, when you tell your computer to do something, or you tell your phone to do something, it will do it. So you're in control of that technology. You're also in control of when you turn it off, when you put it down. You're in control of your internet, whether you turn it on, whether you turn it off. Whereas when that chip is in your brain, who's controlling that? Who's deciding what data is input into that? Who's deciding what information is allowed onto that cloud? So when you think, if you even think, if it's even you thinking, how'd you know? How would you be able to differentiate between the two? As some of the futurists and scientists that think this is a good idea, whether it's because they're owned and pushing it, or whether it's because they're just idiots, have described, they've used the term indistinguishable to describe how you would know the difference between human and artificial in terms of thoughts. There would be an indistinguishable difference between the two. So basically, what you're saying is we would essentially become cyborgs. Now, again, that sounds fantastic. That sounds absolutely ridiculous to say out loud. But then take a step back, take a breath, and look at the world in front of us. Is it really that ridiculous? Does it really sound that ridiculous? Given people who are in massive positions of influence and power through either the businesses they own, the finance they have, the people's ears they have. They're openly talking about this. Musk has talked about this for a long time. AI is a danger to humanity, but we must merge with it to save ourselves. Those two things don't go hand in hand, Mr. Musk. They completely contradict each other. So which one is it? I've already mentioned Ray Kurzweil, massive executive at Google, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, OpenAI. All these people, they are openly talking about this. And this is one of the key things about the Trump presidency and the MAGA movement that people have missed. He was brought in and he was sold to the pushback community, the people who questioned a lot, a lot more, certainly, as no more wars, no more big tech, no more big corporations, we're America first. Well, the people who voted for him were always very skeptical of your Facebooks, of your Musks, of your Zuckerbergs, of your Bezos. They were always skeptical of those people. Yet as soon as Musk bought Twitter and let a few people come back on and say a few things, all of a sudden Musk is loved. Let's look at his other businesses. Tesla, electric cars, pushing climate change. Neuralink, pushing chips in the brain. Open um PayPal, obviously, he's involved in the founding of that. There's a lot of things involved in there. SpaceX, which is the one I couldn't remember just then. SpaceX, putting lowerbit satellites up, bathing entire communities in Wi-Fi. Without that, this digital connection with AI and this hive mind couldn't happen. So, okay, he's let a few people on Twitter say a few things. He's also now massively using that as a propaganda arm to sell this AI dystopia. Get everything else. It's pushing one thing and one thing only. Yet for some reason, because of the one thing that he's done that people like, they're ignoring everything else. And all of a sudden, Zuckerberg's completely had a rebrand. He's now a MAGA guy. He sat in the warehouse with Trump laughing and joking. This blindness to this movement is what is, I think, the most dangerous part of this Trump presidency. He was always going to go and start a war in Iran. He was always going to be Israel-owned. We know that. He's proved that in his first term. But this, I think, is the one that's going under the radar slightly. People are not talking about it quite as much. And I think it's it's even more sinister. Because once we go here, there is literally no going back. Once human beings are connected to AI, there is no turning back anymore. How could we have a resistance when our minds are controlled to the point that resistance isn't even a thought you could potentially have? Again, it sounds extreme, but these people are extreme. They're extreme psychopaths. And it's us that are in their gun sights. So now more than ever, the fault lines need to be put down, and we need to focus on the issues that we have in common. And this is the biggest one, in my opinion. And it's one that will affect literally everyone. Regardless of where you live, regardless of your income, regardless of your sex, regardless of your religion, this is coming for everyone. And they're only going to get away with it if we allow them to, because there's a lot more of us than there is of them. And there always has been. Right, if you're watching with us on Twitter or YouTube, thank you for tuning in. We're going to go over to iconic.com now. We're going to talk a bit about brand new charges on flights as they try and uh continue to make doing fun things like going on holiday and traveling even more impossible, all based on fake climate change. Of course, we're going to talk about energy here in the UK, and we're going to can continue our theme on technology where we're going to talk about kids' screen time, which is quite terrifying when you read this story. I'll see you there.

Even less said about the grey pipe, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican. All of them had little sickness. I've never seen it before. This is the ultimate suicide. The symbols around us every day are just ornamental.
