Church of England vicar Jamie Franklin sits down with eminent thinkers Jobst Landgrebe and
Barry Smith to discuss the pair's recent book 'Why Machines Will Never Rule the World'. Contrary to the
bombastic predictions of Elon Musk and Klaus Shwab, there will never come a day when human beings create an
artificial intelligence that is equal or superior to themselves. We can all relax on that front because such an endeavour is a mathematical impossibility. In this conversation, we explore Landgrebe and Smith's argument in detail whilst touching on the true nature of human intelligence, free will, the extent to which emotion has a physical basis, demonic possession, mankind's need for religion even in a secular context and the definition and implication of complex systems for viruses and climate change. Strap yourselves in because this one goes deep.

UK Power Prices Skyrocket As Wind Generation Collapses
Good thing the UK recently "war gamed" emergency plans to deal with energy shortfalls because a collapse in wind power has skyrocketed electricity prices, and network operator National Grid Plc might ask homes and businesses to reduce power use on Tuesday.
Some hourly power contracts for Tuesday jumped above £1,200 ($1,445.92) a megawatt-hour on Epex Spot SE as wind generation is set to come to an abrupt halt, reported Bloomberg.
Britain has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world but is prone to energy shortfalls when the wind doesn't blow -- making this type of renewable energy not so reliable.
For the first time, tight power supplies could force National Grid to deploy a new measure that pays households to reduce power consumption during peak demand hours.
Thousands of households with smart meters have signed up for the demand reduction program that has been pilot-tested. It could be used for the first time, according to a warning issued by National Grid.
National Grid had initially warned blackouts are possible this winter due to natural gas supply cuts following Russia's war in Ukraine.
The collapse in wind power this week could be a perfect storm as temperatures are expected to be colder than average in the first half of the week, which will send electricity demand higher. The grid operator expects peak power consumption of around 41.1 gigawatts this evening and 42.4 gigawatts on Tuesday, indicating spare capacity would tighten as the grid struggles to produce enough electricity to satisfy demand.
Bloomberg said the UK would need to fire up fossil fuel power generators due to the gap in wind power that will persist through Thursday.
It's not even the middle of winter, and the UK's grid is already at risk of failure. This doesn't bode well over the coming months if winter is harsh.
Moroccan football fans celebrated their World Cup win over Belgium by staging chaotic riots in numerous different European cities.
Diversity continues to be a strength.
Morocco beat Belgium 2-0 in Group F yesterday, which many regarded as a shock result given the quality of the Belgian team.
Whereas some would expect the result to have prompted friendly and good-natured celebrations, Moroccans used it as an excuse to loot shops, burn vehicles and attack police stations in Belgium and neighboring Holland.
Multicultural Belgium is home to around 500,000 Moroccans, some of whom reacted to their team victory by rampaging through the streets.
“Police deployed tear gas to disperse fans following the victory, but rioting went on into the evening, resulting in a number of additional vehicles being set on fire,” reports ReMix News.
Eight people were arrested in Antwerp, while police in Brussels were forced to deploy water cannons and tear gas in an attempt to quell the rioting.
However, the unrest was not limited to Belgium. Over the border in the Netherlands, vehicles were torched in Amsterdam and rioters in Rotterdam attacked police with fireworks, causing multiple injuries.
“I condemn in the strongest terms the incidents of this afternoon,” said Brussels’ mayor, Philippe Close.
“The police have already firmly intervened. I therefore advise against fans coming to the city center. The police are doing all they can to maintain public order. I have ordered the police to carry out arrests of the troublemakers,” he added.
Another clip shows a violent mob attacking an ambulance.
“This was not a party,” said Claire Martens, VVD party chairman in Amsterdam. “These are guys who think they are in charge of the streets and not the police. We cannot accept that. Why did the (authorities) intervene so late? How are we going to prevent this next week?”
As we previously highlighted, migrant youths also reacted to the lockdown in Belgium by staging riots.
The most popular name for newborn babies in the de facto EU capital of Brussels is Mohamed, with Islamic names making up 43 per cent of total registrations in the Belgian city.
Earlier this year, Belgian leftist leader Conner Rousseau caused alarm amongst his own political allies after admitting that multiculturalism had failed.
The past two years of this scamdemic has just been the 'first wave' of attacks on us, the central bankers are easing up on us just now to assess the information they've been gathering during all of this.
Who were totally obedient? Who went along with the criminality because, "Anything for a quiet life!"? Who supported the evil agenda for profit and gain? Who were the hardcore rebels refusing to comply?
They have this information now and phase two of creating their worldwide, tyrannical, communist empire will soon begin. "Personal data is the crude oil of the modern economy." - Boris Johnson, speech to the United Nation Assembly 2019.
Phase 2 - Preparations
"I'll just refuse the next round of vaccines too, like I did last time."
No, not this time.
The UK government is planning to re-work our human rights laws to put an increased emphasis on “personal responsibility” and “duties to the wider society”, as well as preventing people “abusing” their rights.
In otherwords, if the government say we should be injected with an experimental medical treatment, all for the 'greater good', we'll have no way of refusing their demands: http://bitly.ws/oser
-------
"We'll organise demonstrations via social media, we'll criticise the governments plans everywhere online and inform all others too!"
No, not this time.
The 'Online Safety Bill' is currently in draft form and the government is looking for additional ways to “strengthen” it. Our corrupt, central banker-owned government are categorising what they refer to as 'Covid misinformation' in the same criminal bracket as rape and terrorism:
“If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, this bill is a motorway.” - internet lawyer Graham Smith: http://bitly.ws/osen

Again, in preparation for 'Scamdemic Phase 2', all over Britain, from Wellingborough to the Scottish highlands, mega-prisons with large morgue facilities and crematoria are being constructed: http://bitly.ws/hgqU
We - The People - Must Now Prepare
World War 3 has already started and most folk still don't realise it, or can't accept it. The globalist central bankers and their controlled and currupt governments around the world now have their enemy firmly in their sights and they've deemed that enemy to be Joe and Josephine Public.
On a local level, we all better be getting ready to fight back in order to protect ourselves and all those whom we love and care about. We have no other option now, it's called commonsense self-defence.
Every now and then someone new comes around and claims to support free speech. I do my best to give you my analysis of the situation objectively. This is often difficult to do in my position as the CEO of Gab because so many people dismiss my insight as “envy” or “fear” when in reality I’m just doing what I always do and calling it how I see it. I don’t say this to be braggadocios, but as a matter of fact I am the foremost expert in the world when it comes to free speech online and so my opinion on these matters holds weight.
I’ve spent six years building the only platform on the internet that upholds First Amendment-protected political speech as the baseline for what is allowed to be posted. I’ve paid the price for this policy, getting banned from App Stores, banks, payment processors, hosting providers, and dozens of other services. No other platform can make this claim, certainly not Musk’s Twitter.
If you’ll remember I was correct about Parler and their use of AI to censor, I was correct about Rumble and their “hate speech” terms of service, and I was correct about Gettr using AI to censor as well. All of them claim to support free speech and all of them bent the knee to the Regime powers and censor “hate speech.” Twitter under Elon Musk is no different and my analysis about this situation will be right as well. Believe me now or thank me later. Take it or leave it.
Nothing has changed at Twitter and based on Elon Musk’s tweets over the past month nothing will be changing anytime soon. People who have been banned in the past have been given amnesty only to return to shout into the void. Folks like Alex Jones aren’t welcome back at all not because of specific policy violations, but rather because of Elon’s emotional reaction to him on a whim. The Twitter rules have not changed. The shadowbanning has not ended—in fact Musk is openly tweeting that “negative” and “hateful” content will be “deboosted” and celebrating that “hate speech” is being removed from view in record numbers. These are the facts.
The reasoning for all of this is that Twitter’s policy is now “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” This is the same policy that vampire demons like Jonathan Greenblatt at the ADL have been trying to normalize for years. The policy is contradictory on its face. The entire point of freedom of speech—of speech in general—is to reach someone. Freedom of speech cannot exist in a vacuum.
Think of the actual word “speech.” What is a speech? It’s a “formal address or discourse delivered to an audience.” Notice the key words here “delivered to an audience.” A speech without an audience is just a monologue delivered to yourself.
The Jews did not want Jesus killed and eventually have Him crucified (John 5:18, John 7:1, John 8:37, 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16) because He spoke to Himself alone in the corner. They did so because He was reaching people and making fools of the Jews in power by exposing them as hypocrites. His speech grew His ministry precisely because it reached people. Jesus could not have done this if He was simply talking to the wall.
The Jews did not care about His freedom to speak, they cared about the amount of people He was reaching with that speech. The same is true today. The Jews in positions of power do not care that you have the freedom of speech in this country, they care that people like Ye have the freedom to reach a lot of people and criticize their power and oversized influence in our culture, government, and society. They care that people like me have the ability to reach millions of people with a post like this that contains Biblical Truth and objective facts about this reality, both of which they would label “hate speech.”
Another classic historical example is Socrates. Socrates was not put to death for muttering to himself alone in his house. He was out and about in the city engaging in “harmful” and “dangerous” discussions with people. He challenged the public by daring them think and question their assumptions about their culture, leaders, and society. He couldn’t “corrupt the youth,” which is what he was charged for, if he didn’t reach them with his speech.
Freedom of speech necessarily includes the freedom to reach someone else with that speech. Freedom of speech without freedom of reach as a policy on Twitter is worse than having your Twitter account suspended. At least when that happens you have a sense of achievement that what you were saying mattered and made an impact. So much of an impact that you had to be ejected from the platform completely.
Freedom of speech without freedom of reach is the ultimate form of demoralization.
It is psychological warfare on your mind.
You keep posting and stay hooked on the platform—making Mr. Musk plenty of money from your usage—but your posts go unseen by anyone but yourself. You are allowed to speak but no one can hear you.
The 2014 Black Mirror Episode “White Christmas” illustrates what Elon Musk’s Twitter will be like for dissidents and anyone that poses any real challenge to the Regime. In the episode we are introduced to a “blocked” technology in the real world. Blocking causes people to see each other as grey silhouettes and prevents them from communicating with other people. In other words when you are blocked in the Black Mirror world you have freedom of speech, but no one can hear you so you reach no one.
This isn’t a world I want to live in. I don’t want a Godless technocratic transhumanist deciding who can be heard and who cannot so that he can dig his way out of the $44 billion dollar hole he dug himself into. The sad reality is that none of this bending of the knee will appease the Regime machine. Elon is about to find out the hard way what it really means to go up against the powers that be in this country. This is why I have never given these demons an inch and always doubled down on Gab's free speech policies no matter what the cost. We will continue to build the home of free speech–and reach on Gab.com without apology and without compromise. We hope you’ll join us.

The LGBTQ+ Agenda: UK Ministry of Justice staff told to not use 35 everyday phrases
NOVEMBER, 2022
Ministry of Justice staff have been instructed not to use 35 everyday phrases - including ‘gender critical’ and ‘protecting women and girls’ - in order to be trans allies.
Ahead of transgender awareness week, thousands of officials were emailed a glossary titled ‘recognising transphobic coded language’ through the HMP Probation Service (HMPPS) diversity and inclusion team, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
The document claimed that the phrases were ‘turning what would be considered overt discrimination into covert behaviour’, and that it was ‘vital we keep scaremongering and misinformation at bay’.
For example, the term ‘gender critical’, which is used to refer to campaigners who believe biological sex is binary, is claimed to be a ‘term used to make anti-trans discrimination sound palatable or a respectable opinion’ and warns staff to look out for social media accounts that hold this view.
Also listed is ‘protect women’s spaces/protecting women and girls’, which the document says ‘relies on equating trans women with being predatory men, to play on unfounded fears and convince people that supporting trans inclusion threatens their safety’.
The glossary was shared by the HMPPS pride in prisons and probation LGBTI+ staff support network under the watch of a diversity lead who is paid a £37,166 salary.
Civil servants are warned in the introduction: ‘Whilst passing uses of these phrases might not be considered misconduct, the importance of challenging their use cannot be overstated.’
The prison population that identifies as transgender stood at 197 in England and Wales last year, a 21 per cent jump from 163 in 2019.
…I see no true leadership in any of today’s so-called leaders …’

According to precious metals and financial expert Bix Weir, when the FTX cryptocurrency exchange imploded, it took with it billions of dollars of investments. It now has more than a million creditors both big and small. Weir says it is the tip of the iceberg in a dying over-indebted system. Weir contends it is orders of magnitude worse than the Lehman Brothers meltdown that caused the Great Recession in 2008. Weir explains, “Does it really matter if we control the House or the Senate or the Presidency? The only thing that will matter, the only thing that will change what is going on is when the ATMs shut off and, all of a sudden, people cannot get money out of the bank. That would change things really fast. I think it will happen. All we need is one highly connected derivative bank to go down, and they all go down. They can bail out a trillion-dollar bank, but they cannot bail out a $2 quadrillion failure, and that is what is coming. The moment that hits is when everybody will say, okay, nobody is getting paid off. . . .We are going to find out in about a month how many counterparties in the FTX debacle will be translated into the derivatives, which is probably 100 times bigger than what happened on FTX. Every one of those people on the FTX ledger was placing derivative bets that were hedging their crypto position. Now, their crypto positions have disappeared. The actual cryptos are no longer there . . .that is what was hedging this transaction. There are two sides to a derivative trade. If one side loses, they double lose. So, we could see a massive, massive fallout from the derivative mess.”
Weir also points out, “The insanity is we all believe in unbacked fiat money. That system is dying, and that’s why they are desperate to go to something else. . . . They know the end of this system is going to be painful. That’s why they keep kicking the can down the road. Nobody really pretends it’s going to work out. You don’t hear the government saying we are going to pay off the debt. . . . Nobody talks about that anymore. They talk more about what will we do next. . . .Let’s invent a new kind of currency. That’s what they are talking about now because everybody has known since day one that this system will end.”
Well known politicians, sports stars and big-financial institutions were all involved with FTX. Charges are flying that FTX was a money laundering operation, a fraud and a huge public rip-off. This is a symptom of what comes at the end of a financial system. What does the end look like? Weir says, “It might be we have many currencies being used with the collapse of the system. . . .Our government is completely corrupt. When they find out all the bad things your politicians have done to your country, to humanity and to children, good night. There is going to be chaos in the streets. Then what do you have that will work in a barter type situation until we all figure this out. I think that is where we are going. Right now, it’s going to be painful. December will be really painful, and in January and February, who knows what will be with the change in government–if there is one.”
Weir says gold, and especially silver, are extremely undervalued. He says physical supplies of both metals are disappearing. Weir says both metals will be going way up in value in the not-so-distant future.

Dr. Peter Leithart is one of the most brilliant theologians alive, this is not hyperbole or flattery. He is a man whom I consider a friend and mentor. His books, especially Defending Constantine and Against Christianity, are among my greatest influences on how Christians should think about politics, culture, and society. You should read them both.
But today, he sent out a short email that denounced Christian Nationalism. To say I disagree with his take is an understatement. And given the respect I have for him it is absolutely necessary to offer him a rebuttal, breaking his argument down line by line.
The first ten lines are spot on:
Nations should be Christian.
Absolutely.
Every nation should be Christian.
Totally agree.
The U.S. should be Christian.
Amen!
So should Armenia and Angola, Afghanistan and Andorra, Australia and Brazil, and on down through the alphabet.
Right there with you.
God commands kings and judges to bow to King Jesus, and this demand is inherent in the gospel.
Yup!
Nations should bow to Jesus.
Yes.
Nations will bow to Jesus.
Oh yes.
The kingdoms of the earth have become the kingdoms of the Lord and of His Christ.
Indeed they have.
God will fulfill His promise to Abraham, to bless every family of the earth.
Mmmhmm.
This doesn’t make Christians “nationalists.”
None of those truths make Christians anything. The contrast does not make sense here. It does not make Christians nationalists. Nor does it make us globalists. It does not make us classical liberals. Nor tribalists. Nor imperialists. Nor monarchists. No one is arguing those truths necessitate Christians be nationalists.
Nationalism is a political theory or program that makes the nation’s own good its primary aim. Christians must always seek the kingdom first.
I am thankful for a reasonable, accurate definition of nationalism here. But there is serious confusion here. Can I, as a father and head of a household, not seek the good of my family? Did not the Apostle Paul say in 1 Timothy 5:8 that he who does not provide for his own household has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever?
Does that admonition by the Apostle not place a duty on the Christian to be a familialist, with the family’s own good as its primary aim?
Even bearing in mind Christ’s command to be willing to hate one’s own family should they be an impediment to discipleship (Mt. 10:37, Luke 15:26), is it not obvious that the context is an environment where there is a positive duty to care for one’s own family?
Is not the highest good of the family then for the family to be discipled as Christians?
Broadening out the family to the tribe and then to the nation, does it not follow that it is perfectly valid for a nation to seek out the good of its own people, and chief among those goods is the promotion of the gospel and one, true faith? Why is it that you are seeking to make a dichotomy where there is not one?
Christians properly love our countries, but seeking the kingdom and its justice may require us to stand against our nation. Seeking the kingdom may make us look like traitors, as it did for Jeremiah.
I totally agree! Look at what self-proclaimed Christian Nationalists are doing. Who else is standing against the mass murder of the unborn, the industrial-scale genital mutilation of the young, the systematic hypersexualization of small children, and other great evils that cry out to heaven for vengeance? Christian Nationalists! Do you not see the people who are literally labelled “violent extremists” and “insurrectionists” are those who call themselves “Christian Nationalists.” If you want to know who looks like Jeremiah preaching against Apostate America, it is the Christian Nationalist.
Christian nations don’t make national interest their chief end. Nations too are baptized into the mission of Jesus. Baptized nations and kings submit their political aims to the aims of their King.
What exactly do you mean by “national interest their chief end.” One of the points of Christian Nationalism is that the promotion of the gospel within the nation is a major part of the national interest. Again, another dichotomy where there need not be one. Would you ever say to a Christian family struggling to make ends meet “Christian family doesn’t make family interest their chief end.” I know you are far too pastoral to do something so foolish. What is this dichotomy even supposed to mean? That submitting to the political aims of King Jesus means the United States should accept tens of millions of immigrants from the Third World every year?
Nations become Christian through the witness, worship, and ministry of the church: when preachers preach the whole Bible; when churches gather at the Lord’s table with Psalms; when the church welcomes strangers, feeds the hungry, and clothes the naked; when members of the church diligently witness and obey in their families, neighborhoods, vocations, and citizenship.
I do not disagree. This is exactly how we Christian Nationalists aim to disciple our nation.
Nations become Christian when the church and her members seek the kingdom. Thus, and not otherwise, nations become Christian.
Yes. My nation will become Christian not because I am one of 8 billion deracinated, atomized “global citizens,” but because I am an America with the same love for my countrymen that the Apostle Paul possessed for his (Romans 9:1ff). Apostate America will be discipled because Americans who have proven their love and their devotion for their countrymen have preached the gospel and ministered to them. Not because we have bought into some baptized vision of Klaus Schwab’s globalism and have pledged fealty to the Globalist American Empire which exports sodomy and usury to the planet, but because we want the good of our people and the most important good—that they would love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nations become Christian precisely when Christians are not nationalists.
This is a terrible misunderstanding of the situation as it is. Our options are not “nationalism” and some ideal political system (which those Christians who decry Christian Nationalism conveniently refuse to offer as an alternative), but between Christian Nationalism and godless Globalism.
The people destroying our country and who view sincere Christian faith as the enemy want every single human being on the planet stripped of any and all loyalties to family, community, nation, and church. They want totally isolated individuals cut off from both the past (their family and national heritage) and the future (having a family of their own). They want the perfect consumer who only lives in the present.
The Christian religion and national resurgence are what these people fear most. They do not want you to be proud of your nation’s history and accomplishments. They want you ashamed of your nation and to distance yourself from it. They do not want you to have any loyalty to God or any belief in anything beyond what is here and now.
By denouncing Christian Nationalism, Christians are playing right into the hands of the most evil people on the planet. You will not tear down globohomo by offering some vague Christian globalism, any more than you would free someone from a cult which has estranged them from their family by telling them “yeah, loving your family too much is idolatry.” No, you absolutely must tell your people that loving your country and seeking its good is what God wants you to do.
If we cannot do that, you better start getting used to the taste of fried crickets.
