Bilderberg 2023: Artificial Intelligence - a New Technology for Modern Warfare
At the top of the agenda of the recent meeting of the Bilderberg Club in Lisbon was "artificial intelligence", it also happened to be the only new topic under discussion, as all other topics had been on the agenda of previous summits. Artificial intelligence was described as "the most important technology for waging modern warfare and resolving global conflicts."

In this regard, two questions arise: why was AI the main topic at the meeting in Lisbon and why is it considered by club members only in relation to the conduct of modern warfare? The answers to these questions are quite obvious. The decision-making center urgently needs to find an "antidote" to Russia's active and pragmatic position in its military conflict with the collective West. The situation in which the collective West, led by the United States, finds itself at the present time, can be characterized by the chess term "zugzwang", when any action of the world hegemon only leads to a complication of the situation. In this regard, the statement of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, Mark Milley, who on the eve of the meeting of the members of the Bilderberg club, said that "perhaps the most powerful of all the rapidly developing technologies in the conduct of modern warfare is artificial intelligence, so the ability to make decisions as quickly and accurately as possible is a significant advantage in warfare. Artificial intelligence and quantum computing will give an advantage to the country that succeeds in its military application against its adversaries."

I believe that by waging a modern war, Milley meant not only actions on the battlefield, but also a war in the information space, and as for opponents, they are spelled out in black and white in the new US National Security Strategy - these are Russia and China.

It is also very remarkable that the Lisbon meeting was held simultaneously with the summit of G7 leaders in Hiroshima, Japan, which indicates, according to American military expert Ben Buchanan, the need to further concentrate the efforts of the Bilderberg Club and decision-making centers, which traditionally include the G7, which have not managed to achieve a visible victory or at least significant success in the global hybrid war against Russia and China.

As part of the discussion on artificial intelligence, participants discussed the possible use of robotic vehicles and autonomous weapons that can be used in combat zones, as well as intelligent defense systems, systems for analyzing large amounts of data and algorithms that support decision-making. And yet, the main focus of the discussion was issues related to the use of artificial intelligence to "deter potential adversaries."

The director of the US Agency for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security, Jen Easterly, said that autonomous weapons, controlled by artificial intelligence, rather than humans, are more accurate, faster and deadlier. Bernard Amyeux, Director General of External Security at the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, has proposed an algorithm that can make team decisions. In his opinion, the decisions of the command require the interpretation of a large amount of heterogeneous information, as well as a balance of political, social and military factors. In this regard, only artificial intelligence technology can effectively cope with such a task. According to Tarun Chabra, Senior Director of Technology at the US National Security Council, any decisions of the military command are fraught with complexity and uncertainty, so the use of modern methods of analysis using artificial intelligence technologies is strategically important, especially in the confrontation with potential adversaries, which are currently Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. @LauraRuHK Read the full article here https://interaffairs.ru/news/show/40543

🇧🇷 Brazil will not go along with the G7 trying to force the Hiroshima summit guests to oppose Russia concerning the situation in Ukraine. Brazilian leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this in a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin, a source familiar with the content of the conversation told TASS.

According to Lula da Silva, leaders of Indonesia, India and Vietnam share the same opinion.

🇩🇪 Europe’s Economic Engine Is Breaking Down — Germany is at risk of a long, slow decline — with consequences for the whole of the EU.

Decades of flawed energy policy, the demise of combustion-engine cars and a sluggish transition to new technologies are converging to pose the most fundamental threat to the nation’s prosperity since reunification. But unlike in 1990, the political class lacks the leadership to tackle structural issues gnawing at the heart of the country’s competitiveness.

While Berlin has shown a knack for overcoming crises in the past, the question now is whether it can pursue a sustained strategy. The prospect looks remote. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s make-shift coalition has reverted to petty infighting over everything from debt and spending to heat pumps and speed limits as soon as the risks of energy shortfalls eased.

But the warning signals are getting hard to ignore. Despite Scholz telling Bloomberg in January that Germany would ride out Russia’s energy squeeze without a recession this year, data published Thursday show that the economy has in fact been contracting since October and has only expanded twice in the past five quarters.

Avvertimento mafioso alla Cina, messaggio recapitato dalla Reuters. Commenti nel post successivo.

L'agenzia di stampa Reuters, da cui attingono migliaia di testate giornalistiche in tutto il mondo, sembra essere stata scelta per lanciare un avvertimento mafioso alla Cina. L'agenzia afferma che la Cina e' il luogo di origine della pandemia Covid, teoria non dimostrata, ma Reuters la presenta senza usare il condizionale d'obbligo, e poi avverte che attraverso la deforestazione la Cina sta creando le condizioni per lo scoppio di un'altra pandemia - i pipistrelli rischiano di entrare in contatto con gli esseri umani. Anche l'origine animale del virus Sars-Cov2 e' una teoria che ha sempre meno sostenitori nella comunita' scientifica, ma questo alla Reuters non interessa. Come non interessa il fatto che la Cina e' all'avanguardia nei programmi di riforestazione e ha riportato successi innegabili (allego link). Quello che invece alla Reuters preme e' innanzitutto lanciare un messaggio alla Cina (lascio a voi immaginare da chi proviene il messaggio) "attenti che potremmo ripetere quanto gia' fatto con Sars1 e Sars2, magari con un virus anche piu' pericoloso". E poi visto che il messaggio viene diffuso in tutti gli angoli del pianeta, l'effetto e' quello di seminare la paura di un'ennesima pandemia e puntare il dito preventivamente contro la Cina. @LauraRu https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S004896972033727X https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-pandemic-bats-deforestation/

Russia Outlines Conditions For Ukraine Peace Deal

The Ukraine conflict could be settled if Kiev were to re-commit to its neutral status, recognize “new territorial realities,” and declare Russian as a state language, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said in an interview released on Saturday.

Speaking to the TASS news agency, the diplomat said Moscow “is convinced that a peace settlement will be possible only if the Ukrainian armed forces cease hostilities, and Western weapons shipments are stopped.”

He also stressed that to achieve a durable peace, Ukraine “must return to a neutral non-aligned status” and “refuse to join NATO and the EU,” adding that Kiev should recognize the “new territorial realities” that emerged after people exercised their right to self-determination.

Amnesty International routinely publishes defamatory reports about Hong Kong. When they run out of ideas, they flog one of their dead horses, "Uygur persecution". AI claims a Uygur student, Abuduwaili Abudureheman, went missing after arriving at the city’s airport.
And yet official records shows he neither entered Hong Kong nor was he refused entry. The Hong Kong government demands an apology from AI for slandering the local government over the human rights situation in the city. I wrote extensively about AI's interference in Hong Kong affairs at the time of the attempted colour revolution in 2019-20. https://medium.com/p/b9b8af234077

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

“The Russians are dying... it’s the best money we’ve ever spent,” US Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said with a pleased smirk during his meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

💬 During the Nuremberg trials, Reichsminister of Economics Hjalmar Schacht claimed that the Third Reich was sponsored, among others, from abroad, naming two major American corporations – Ford and General Motors. An unspoken deal was made with Schacht: freedom in exchange for keeping silent. Despite Soviet representatives’ protests, he was released and lived to the age of 93.

Just to remind: the man who embodied the American dream, the legendary Henry Ford, was a recipient of the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle. His plants operating in Germany not only produced up to 70,000 lorries per year for the Wehrmacht, but also used prison labour to this end, including in Auschwitz.

Opel, the icon of the German automotive industry, was owned by General Motors. Researcher Bradford Snell described the corporation’s role as follows: “General Motors was far more important to the Nazi war machine than Switzerland. Switzerland was just a repository of looted funds. GM was an integral part of the German war effort. The Nazis could have invaded Poland and Russia without Switzerland. They could not have done so without GM.”

At its Germany-based plant, the Kodak company manufactured fuses for aerial bombs, without shunning the use of POW labour.

The Coca-Cola plant in Cologne, even before it was nationalised by the German government, regularly supplied German soldiers with drinks, while the famous Fanta was invented by the Nazis.

The oil giant Standard Oil, through its subsidiaries, supplied Hitler with petroleum products amid shortages, and was involved in the development of synthetic rubber and synthetic fuels. IBM, a company popular with IT specialists across the globe, manufactured accounting and monitoring devices for the Nazis, including those for oil production. The company's equipment was used, among other things, to monitor schedules for trains destined to extermination camps.

And, of course, how can we not mention banks: JPMorgan Chase & Co – Chase National Bank back then – was also involved, performing multibillion dollar transactions, while Berlin had the opportunity to purchase dollars and carry out transactions overseas. Chase National Bank even cooperated with the German bank Allianz in providing insurance for facilities and workers at concentration camps during the time of the Third Reich.

So, Senator Graham has something to make comparisons with. One of the US investments led to World War II and the Holocaust.

Now, billions of US dollars are pouring down the insatiable throat of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime. In this regard, I would like to remind the senators and all US beneficiaries how the previous venture ended.

🌍 Lavrov: US began to look more realistically at the Ukrainian conflict

Lavrov came to this conclusion after the statement by US Chief of Staff Mark Milli that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would not be able to return their lands in the short term.

📝 “ The word of the head of the US General Staff that Kiev is unlikely to be able to recapture the lost lands in the foreseeable future is a step towards understanding the reality on Earth,” Sergey Lavrov said.
