OBAMA AND THE ‘AI APOCALYPSE’ ALARM – JUST IN TIME FOR THE MIDTERMS

Miranda Devine September 15, 2026

The “AI Apocalypse” scare campaign looks suspiciously like the climate hoax.

How convenient that it’s come to a head right as the midterm election season kicks off this week.

The campaign launch was when Jacob Coxon, a low-level 27-year-old AI researcher, trumpeted his resignation from AI company Anthropic in a Wall Street Journal exclusive last week followed by a viral X thread warning AI will “kill us all.”

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade . . . They are gambling with our lives,” he claimed.

His boss, the Democrat-aligned Anthropic founder and CEO Dario Amodei, amplified Coxon’s apocalyptic message with a 3,800-word essay on Saturday, followed by a giddy interview CBS aired Sunday in which he essentially called for a one-world government to regulate AI.

He wants “the right combination of governments” to provide “some kind of joint governance [to] control the technology.

“I’m uncomfortable government didn’t build this technology.”

MARK CARNEY’S ANTI-AMERICAN CRUSADE

Victor Davis Hanson September 17, 2026

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now believes he is more than just the Western foil to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement — he is the global one.

Accordingly, he seems determined to demonstrate to the world how to stand up to Donald Trump, to force Trump to lose the midterms, and to hurt the U.S. economy to such a degree that Trump will never again bully other nations.

How he believes he has such awesome power is altogether unclear.

So, at the eleventh hour, Carney stormed out of an apparently completed tariff deal with the United States that would have privileged Canada over almost all of America’s other trading partners.

Canada, we recall, has enjoyed a $50 billion goods trade surplus with the United States for years in a supposedly free and equitable North American trade zone.

Carney claimed that American proposals stripped away Canadian sovereignty and quashed Canadian culture, particularly French-Canadian culture. Yet he has not released the documents detailing the bilateral offers he rejected.

Nor has he allowed his representatives to explain to the media why Canada blew up the negotiations at the last minute. Carney’s ever-changing excuses, explanations, and invectives about what happened are incoherent and contradictory.

THE CARTELS HAVE GONE HIGH-TECH – WE’RE STILL UNDERESTIMATING THEM

W.T. Hale September 16, 2026

[There has been much talk in recent days of slowing U.S. artificial intelligence research. China immediately announced that it would have no part of the “fearmongering” and would not slow down at all. But they are far from the only active enemy employing AI against us. — Rod Martin]

In 1999, two psychologists conducted a study in which test subjects counted how many times a basketball was passed among individuals wearing white shirts. The passing was not tricky to see. The action was not particularly fast. On its surface, it was a simple task.

Yet half of the participants missed the gorilla.

Midway through the video, a student in a full gorilla costume walked into the center of the court, turned to face the camera, thumped its chest, and strolled off-screen.

The viewers’ eyes swept over the primate. Still, their brains, entirely consumed by the mental arithmetic of pass-counting, filtered out the visual data.

They missed the obvious because they were preprogrammed to a particular task.

A decade later, researchers ran a similar experiment with board-certified radiologists. These were not novices, but bona fide experts, examining chest CT scans.

These doctors were asked to look for suspicious lung lesions, called nodules, often indicative of cancer. Special software tracked their eye movements so researchers would know exactly where they were looking.

But then, just as in 1999, there was a gorilla.

Embedded in the lung tissue of the final scan was a graphic of a gorilla, 48 times the size of the average cancerous nodule. Of the 24 radiologists in the study, 20, or 83 percent if you are so inclined, failed to see it, despite the eye-tracking software proving they had stared right at it for half a second.

How could they have missed a gorilla in a chest CT scan? When they stared directly at it?

This cognitive glitch, inattentional blindness, is not merely an academic curiosity. It is the ultimate cloak for asymmetric warfare.

VILLAGES JOIN REVOLT OVER MIGRANT CAMPS

Charles Hymas September 16, 2026

A village fightback against migrant camps is set to spread across the country.

Piddington in Oxfordshire will on Tuesday hold a symbolic referendum on leaving the UK in protest against plans to move up to 1,250 male asylum seekers into a former army barracks close to the village of 350 people.

The parish has been approached by hundreds of other villages and towns nationwide for advice on replicating the campaign, which has won the backing of the Conservatives and Reform.

As well as the vote, Piddington’s villagers have drawn up plans to install a network of wireless CCTV cameras, an emergency alert system and security patrol teams over fears of being outnumbered by a ratio of nearly four to one.

Speaking to The Telegraph on the eve of the vote, which is expected to pass unanimously, women who live in the village said they planned to take up self-defence classes because of fears about the influx of migrants.

Tim McNally, the chairman of Piddington parish council, said that hundreds of other areas wanted to follow his blueprint to fight back against migrant camps.

He said: “We have been working in the background with other areas who feel the same as us, who feel they have not been represented and been run over roughshod. What has happened to our politics to allow this to happen?

“When I first published the blueprint, I had over 500 inquiries from across the UK, from parish and town councillors. The aim of our referendum is for them to go and do it themselves.”

Nigel Farage’s party has pledged to support any other areas that want to hold votes.

DEFENDING YOURSELF AGAINST VIRUS INFECTIONS – Part 1

Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw September 17, 2026

[TTP: Written in 2009 for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), this essay contains test details that may be more than you want to know. I’ve bracketed those sections for your reading pleasure. Geek out as you like.]

Serious threats to human populations from newly developed and, indeed, old but still dangerous infectious viruses continue to appear unpredictably and can kill large numbers of people. In the United States alone, ordinary influenza kills about 36,000 people a year.

Government public health authorities (CDC, FEMA, FDA, Homeland Security, etc.) are attempting to prevent and control viral outbreaks and approve antiviral therapies, but you should recognize that while these government agencies employ scientists, they are led by political appointees. Furthermore, public health agencies are focused on protecting the health of the herd, not the individual.

We decided to evaluate the peer-reviewed scientific literature indexed by the National Library of Medicine on natural products for those who have useful antiviral effects at safe dosages.

The evidence led us to a protective combination that consists of the flavonoid quercetin, green tea extract, resveratrol, N-acetylcysteine, vitamin D, and vitamin C. These ingredients have been reported to have significant anti-viral effects in cell culture and animal studies, and in a few human clinical trials.

A STRATEGY FOR QUIETING PAINFUL MEMORIES

Dr. Joel Wade September 15, 2026

About a hundred years ago, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik was sitting in a café in Vienna waiting for her coffee refill.

It never came.

She noticed that her waiter had an excellent memory for all of his customers’ orders, but somehow had forgotten her coffee.

Bluma set herself to the task of investigating this phenomenon further.

What she found in her subsequent studies was this: People tend to remember the details of things exceptionally well when those things are unfinished.

She had already paid her waiter, so he had forgotten about her because he was finished with her as a customer.

What is unfinished haunts us. It stays with us, nagging us to bring it to completion. There is something immensely useful to understand here.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – DIVING IN A GALAPAGOS FISH BALL

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 18, 2026

Galapagos Islands – November 2015. In the waters here, enormous schools of striped mullet swim together in one huge swirling ball by the tens of thousands.

One of the more astounding experiences a scuba diver can have is to swim far below one of these rotating living balls, then slowly rise straight up into it. The fish do not scatter, but merely create an empty column or vertical tunnel for you – so you float inside the ball with countless thousands of calm unperturbed fish circling around you and your dive buddy (who took this picture of me).

I’ve had the good fortune to go diving all over the world for the past sixty -plus years, and this experience is surely one of the most memorable of all. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #140 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO A 6,000 POUND ELEPHANT SEAL

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 17, 2026

The Antarctic island of South Georgia is one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Square miles of king penguin rookeries, thousands of fur seals, hundreds of gigantic elephant seals amidst a backdrop of massive glaciers and snow-capped mountains.

All of the animals here have no fear of you whatever and ignore your presence – except if you make the mistake of getting too close to a bull elephant seal for his comfort. It’s a mistake I made as you can see. Luckily, with several tons of blubber to carry, this fellow can’t move as fast as me, so I hightailed it quickly. That satisfied him, and all was soon back to placidly normal again. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #62 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

MAYA RUINS AND STAR WARS

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 16, 2026

This is Temple IV at the ancient Mayan capital of Tikal, now in northern Guatemala. It was from the top of Temple IV that the shot in the original 1977 Star Wars movie was filmed of the Millennium Falcon landing (at 44 seconds) near jungle temples (Temples II and III) at the Rebel Base on the moon of Yavin 4.

Built in 740 AD, at 230 feet it is the tallest pre-Columbian structure in all the Americas. While Tikal’s earliest buildings date to the 4^th century BC, it was from 300 to 800 AD that Tikal flourished as one of the Mayan Empires most powerful kingdoms.

Then decline set in, with drought, deforestation, overpopulation, and constant warfare with rival kingdoms. With Tikal abandoned by the end of the 900s, it remained covered by rainforest jungle for over a thousand years. American archaeologists began excavations in the 1950s. Today with its major temples restored, Tikal is the most impressive example you can visit of Mayan civilization. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #118 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE BLACK-MANED LION OF ANGOLA

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 15, 2026

August, 1983. It was pitch-black dark as I and a couple dozen heavily-armed UNITA guerrillas were rumbling over the roadless Angolan bush in a huge captured Russian truck. Suddenly there was an entire pride of lions running in front of the truck’s headlights. As they scattered, without warning a massive black-maned male jumped in front of us. The driver didn’t have time to swerve – we crashed into him full on, killing him instantly.

The UNITA fellows had me pose with him the next morning – obviously with no rifle as I was not hunting. It was to memorialize a tragic ending to a magnificent animal. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #125 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE CARRICK-A-REDE ROPE BRIDGE

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 14, 2026

One of the most dramatic sights along the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland is the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Originally built in the 1660s by salmon fishermen to get to their nets on the tiny islet of Carrick, it spans 70 feet across and 100 feet above the ocean waters surging below. It’s still used by the fishermen to this day. And while it’s been sturdily reinforced since it was a simple rope bridge, it’s still an invigorating experience to negotiate – especially in the wind and rain when I was there. Don’t pass it up if you’re ever in Northern Ireland. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #232 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

DEMOCRATS PROMISE THAT IF ELECTED EVERY VOTER WILL GIVE THEM $5,000

Babylon Bee September 18, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Just days after President Donald Trump vowed to issue every American citizen a $5,000 check if Republicans won the midterms, Democrats countered with their own offer: if they are elected, every voter would give them $5,000.

The heartfelt plea was reportedly designed to motivate the Democrat base and get people energized ahead of the midterms, a voting period with famously low voter turnout compared to presidential election years. And nothing motivates Democrats more than promising to take away people's hard-earned money.

In an appearance on CNN, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries explained the party platform. "Republicans are going to reframe this as us taking voter money, but that's not true at all," he said. "We're not taking your cash, you get to give us your cash. That's a big difference. But either way, we end up with your money, and that's what's important."

At a campaign event on Friday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reiterated the popular talking point. "Kennedy famously said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,'" she said. "And what you can do is give us $5,000 when we raise taxes after the midterms. We will have more of your money. That is our solemn pledge to the American people."

As predicted, Republicans did indeed accuse Democrats of trying to steal taxpayer dollars. "They're not even promising anything, they're just saying they'll take your money," Sen. Rand Paul pointed out. "I don't know why people keep voting for them. Am I out of touch? Should I be stealing money?"

At publishing time, Democrat approval ratings had surged upward among voters who don't pay taxes.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/11/26

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 11, 2026

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch Blasts 9/11 Revisionists Blurring Lines Between Heroes And Terrorists / Watch her full speech here

We all have memories of that horrible day. It was a Tuesday morning and Rebel and I were having a late breakfast after our morning workouts when the phone rang. It was my sister Judy to ask, “Do you believe what’s happening?” “What’s happening?” I asked her. “Turn on your television, any news channel,” was all she would say and hung up. NBC News came on and we were speechless to see both World Trade Centers pouring smoke and fire. We watched in horror to see the South Tower disintegrate and collapse, then embraced each other as we cried uncontrollably. Thirty minutes later the North Tower was gone as well.

It was a moment to Never Forget – and to Never Forgive those who perpetrated such monstrous pure evil, as well as those who excused them. It was completely unimaginable in 2001 that 25 years later New Yorkers would forget, would elect as their Mayor a Hate-America Islamofascist Communist who excuses the fellow Moslem Terrorists of 9-11.

That millions of school children are taught to forget, such as those in Fairfax County VA adjacent to Washington DC: Liberal Virginia School District: Don't Link 9/11 Terror Attacks To 'Islam Or Muslims'. That Islamofascist apologists for 9-11 are elected to Congress, with more ahead in the polls for the November midterms. That the most Pro-American President since Ronald Reagan is deeply unpopular in many polls because he is ridding the world of an Islamofascist Terrorist government trying to build nuclear bombs.

This is all due to a Crisis of Civilizational Confidence in America right now, forced upon us by the Democrat Party with its academic and media minions. Pray America will regain it this November 3, and not culturally collapse like the Twin Towers.

ALLAH AND SLAVERY

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 7, 2026

[Every day now, we read of another Christian Church “mysteriously” burned down, while our country’s politics and social media are infested with Hate America Islamic Fascists like Hasan Piker, Ilhan Omar, and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. This Monday’s Archive was first published in 2007, yet provides intellectual ammunition with which to defend ourselves from this hateful infestation today. Use it liberally.]

TTP, February 15, 2007

As we discussed in The Fragility of Islamofascism a couple of weeks ago, in order to destabilize the frenzy of Islamofascism it is necessary to instill doubt into fragile Islamofascist minds.

One way to do so is in regards to the Koran’s Satanic Verses, discussed last week in The Skeleton in Islam’s Closet. Now were going to discuss another way – the embarrassment of Allah’s advocacy of slavery.

Slavery is no embarrassment to Allah, nor had it been to Moslems who practiced it for 13 centuries. Now it is and we need to take advantage of the opportunity.

Slaves, most always female slaves for sex, are referred to in the Koran as “possessions of the right hands” of Moslem believers.

In Sura (chapter) 33 verse 50, Allah specifically approves of slavery, saying he has made it “lawful” for Moslems to own and have sex with “those whom thy right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” – women captured in war and enslaved.

The scandal of the Moslem Slave Trade is a subject for another time. For it is a rare Moslem indeed who forthrightly argues for the morality of slavery today. The object here is to put Moslems on the spot:Since Allah sanctions slavery in the Koran, either slavery is right or Allah is wrong. Choose.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL SUPERCYCLE IS MOVING FROM BLUEPRINTS TO PAYCHECKS

Rod D. Martin September 9, 2026

Last month, the Enemedia crowed. The “experts” announced 1.5 percent growth and pronounced judgment. Trump’s promised boom had failed to arrive.

Wrong.

This month, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model has third-quarter real growth running at a 4.7 percent annual rate.

As I told you then, the TDS crowd was looking at the wrong number. In the second quarter report, imports and inventories pulled the number down.

But the import surge was led not by toys, trinkets, or flat-screen televisions, but by capital goods: telecommunications equipment, semiconductors, and industrial machinery.

The equipment American companies were importing to build the boom was temporarily concealing it. And right on schedule, those machines are now roaring to life.
