Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Wednesday's episode of Trending. It's great to be with you. We're going to talk about electric cars or electric taxis. We're going to talk about the Israeli-Italian defence deal. We're going to talk about migrant hotels. We're going to talk, unfortunately, again, about weight loss jabs or fat jabs as they're called. And we're going to talk about the fact there's always money for war, but never money for people. We're going to get into all that in this morning's episode of Trending. Okay, so right, the first part of the show. This headline sounds like it should be describing the latest sci-fi film, but instead it's actually reality. Autonomous robo taxis are now driving themselves around British streets. You'll see the image on screen there. The Waymo self-driving cars are now being controlled by artificial intelligence as they travel around London. Autonomous taxis are now driving themselves around London, the American company behind the technology has announced. The self-driving cars have been in the capital since last autumn, but until now, they were under the control of, in brackets, safety drivers. Now Waymo say they're being controlled by artificial intelligence, albeit with a human in the driver's seat, just in case. Right. I'm going to assume, because you're watching Iconic, that your reaction to this story is similar to mine, which is complete and utter bewilderment at why anyone thinks this is a good idea, how anybody walking those streets of London, to quote a great song, are on board with this because this is utter madness. And clearly it's a stepping stone to that driver being removed completely and that driver being fully artificial intelligence with no human interaction whatsoever. You've also got the potential, if there is a problem with the vehicle or a problem with the autopilot, if you want to call it that, of a battle between the actual driver and the computer within the car. If the computer malfunctions or something and doesn't want to give control back to the driver, you've got potential there for issues. Of course you do. That's happened in the past in America during tests with driverless cars. So the safety aspect is massive. You're driving round very busy streets. Anyone that's driven around London knows that it's just basically one giant traffic jam. You've got very narrow streets, you've got a lot of pedestrian areas. The potential for harming people is massive because this is obviously technology that on the surface is in its infancy. So there are going to be problems with it, of course. Now we know it's not really in his infancy, it's been in the underground bases and behind the scenes for decades and decades, just waiting to be rolled out, waiting for humanity to get itself to the point that it is in clever enough, if you like, to understand this technology, which is what's happening today. That's why we're seeing such technological advances or appear to have such technological advances, advances over such a short period of time compared to human history. Obviously, in truth, this has been around for a very, very long time. So there's a safety aspect to it if you want to look at it from a purely five-sense practicality level, but the real sinister area of it is obviously the replacement of humans, the increasing fusion and interaction with artificial intelligence on a daily basis. If you think about how 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, how much you interacted with technology on any given day, or how much technology was fundamental to your life, how many times in a day a piece of technology in some way, shape or form told you what to do, it was minimal. Whereas now, every single day, pretty much every time you leave the house, you go into your car, you go to work, you walk the streets, you go to the supermarkets, you're getting told what to do, you're interacting with technology. So the increase in our usage of it and our interaction, even if you're trying your hardest to avoid it, is massive. Not to mention the increase in radiation in the atmosphere with all these towers for smartphones and Wi-Fi and so on. But now, the last five, six years, ten years maybe, we've seen the relationships between technology and people become more and more like relationships between humans and humans. People have literally have robots these days. People have sex dolls, people have things that they interact with as if they are human. They have these Alexa, these Google Hub devices, where they talk to it like you're talking to a human being. We know the ultimate goal of this is to merge artificial intelligence with humanity. And that's not a conspiracy theory. That's something that futurists at Google, people like Ray Kurzweil, people like Musk, and others are openly discussing. Because they think we're at the point now where people have just either accept that's just natural progression, that's what's going to happen, or people are on board with it because they've been sold the sales pitch that we'll be superhuman, when in fact we'll be the opposite. You'll be subhuman. Because where are those thoughts and emotions and feelings and opinions and ideas coming from? Are they coming from you or are they coming from the technology? And who's programming that technology? No one seems to ask that question, which is surely question number one. Surely question number one. And this progression to driverless cars or self-autonomous cars is obviously the next step. It's the next step on the ladder. And there's a number of reasons for this. One is obviously they want to increase the relationship between technology and people, want to increase that interaction. The other thing is at the moment, if I walk out my house and I get in my car within reason, I can take it wherever I want. I could drive up to Scotland today, I could drive across to Northern Ireland today and get a ferry. I could drive down to Wales, I could drive anywhere I want. Well, who programs the car that's run by artificial intelligence to basically do whatever you want? They're not going to, are they? At the same time, we know they want us to stop traveling, they want freedom of movement to be a thing of the past, 15 minute cities and other things. You're gonna get in that car and you're gonna go wherever that technology allows you to go. So who programs that technology? Who decides where and where not where you're not allowed to go? No one again asks those questions when that's a massive question. That's surely the one of the first questions, along with who programmed artificial intelligence. Because you're giving away your freedom, you're giving away your ability to make a choice, and who are you giving it away to? It's like someone turning up at your door you don't know, you've never heard of, no one in your family or your friendship group knows, just a complete random stranger, and they say, Right, I'm gonna take control of your life from now on. Everything you do, you've got to run through me. Would you just accept that? Of course you wouldn't. But because it's technology, people blindly seem to think, oh, it's harmless. Well, it's actually not harmless. Because technology, particularly artificial intelligence, it's not a natural entity. It's developed and it's made. So who's it developed and who's it made by? Because really, whoever that answer the answer to that question is, they're the ones controlling your life. And you've only got to look at history, modern, recent, past, long, long, long, long past, ancient, to know that establishments, corporations, never have the best interests of the people at heart. But now people are meant to believe that these corporations that are developing this technology are meant to have our best interest at heart and just want to give us superhuman powers. Of course they don't. They want to make money on the five cent surface level and they want to generate control and loosh, fear, energy. These people are demonic. You only got to look at the world they are creating to see how demonic these characters are. So, this story, I don't like to say, I is not going to be an anomaly. It's not going to be something that we're just seeing in London and seeing and going, oh wow, this is, I didn't expect that. This is going to be something that, if we allow it, is going to become widespread. They want the end to drivers. They want the end to you having the ability to decide where and where you don't go. They also want the inability to travel, really. That's why there's this massive push towards electric cars when there's just not enough power for everyone that has a petrol or diesel car today to have an electric car. And that keeps getting pointed out. What's not being asked though is well, was that the idea then? Because we're pointing out these very clear problems and you're ignoring them and you're not acknowledging them. So is the whole point that we can't drive then? Of course it is. Of course it is. And again, you know, everything has two or three or four different reasons for happening. And this issue, this war in Iran that's obviously pushed prices up has made people, you know, struggling more and more for a number of reasons. But also it will have made a lot of people want to then turn to electric cars because they'll be going, well, look, look at the problem. When there's when there's geopolitical tension and oil prices go up, fuel goes up. So I was having this conversation with somebody the other day who was telling me how much cheaper it is to charge their car than it was to fill it up. Obviously, they're not understanding the real um agenda behind this, but you can see that being the sales pitch for people. So that's another example of how they're using events to steer people in the direction they want, which is electric cars. You know, you just to finish, because this story is obviously about taxis, and this is about Waymo, the company in America or the American company. But if you look at the massive taxi company Uber, also do Uber Eats and other things now, their whole business model really is built for driverless cars because their main expense is the driver. Of course it is. All the technological infrastructure, the apps and so on, that doesn't need the driver. So when autonomous cars become widespread, that's what their entire model is built upon. Now, are you telling me that they built this company and have lost millions and billions over the years without knowing that this technology is here and at some point in the future this technology is going to be rolled out and that their business model is spot on. Of course. Of course, there has to be some knowledge there. There has to be some inside knowledge there that the outcome of this situation is going to be driverless cars. So basically ride it out, and then you can make your profit then. And there's a number of different companies you could point out the same thing when it comes to motors, where driverless cars are what their business model is built upon, but their companies are decades old. This is not something that's organic. This is not something that has come through necessity. This is not something that's come because someone's had a great idea. This is the next step on this technological agenda. The fusion between AI and humanity, AI controlling more and more of your life, more and more of your daily interactions, your daily things of driving to work, of going to do the school run, all those things that people do on a daily basis. That at the moment, they get in their car, they turn it on, and they decide what happens. Now, all of a sudden, the push is being made to again giving up your power, giving up your sovereignty, and giving up your freedom to artificial intelligence. And I, for one, have said I'll never have an electric car, and I stand by that. I'll certainly never ever set foot and sit down in an autonomous car. I'd rather walk everywhere, to be honest, than be involved in any of this. But then, even if you're walking everywhere, what cars are driving down the streets next to you? They're gonna be these. So you're still just in as much danger. For the point I made it right at the top of the show, that this is technology. Technology can go wrong. Technology can be hacked, it can be corrupted, it can be manipulated. It's it's really is letting the fox in the hen house. It really is. And where does this end? I hope it ends very, very soon, and the relationship with technology becomes a healthy one again rather than a toxic one. Thanks for tuning in with me if you're watching with us on Twitter or YouTube. If you follow me over to iconic.com, we're gonna talk about the Italy and Israel Defense Agreement. We're gonna talk about the weight loss jabs and more evidence of side effects. We're gonna talk about UK military chiefs and more uh call for war, and we're gonna talk about migrant hotels. We're gonna close them all. They've closed just 11 in nearly two years. See you over there.
SPEAKER_01Don't mention the reptiles, Dave. Even less is said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican. All of them had little sickness. I've never seen it before. It's a transition that this is the ultimate suicide. The symbols around us every day are just ornamental. What is their instruction?
