The PiP digest #4

Nothing to do with sex. Just naked politics

Personal

I am still in the process of discovery on Substack, while also experimenting with new ideas such as this news digest. I am using two similar digests as my main news source and find them quite useful. After last weeks digest, I had the feeling that I am offering a little too much to digest, so to speak.
I will be shorter this week, sharing only what I found most interesting.

You could help me greatly, if you would let me know what you think about the links and what sort of news and reviews would you like to see the most.

On another personal note:
I created an account on Midjourney to try it. My very first request was for a picture of Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari as Dr. Evil and Mini me.
It was refused with the claim that it is against community guidelines.
So, I read the community guidelines. I did not find anything in it about mocking public figures. So much for AI. And community guidelines.

The Economy

US Empire of Debt Headed for Collapse (Pepe Escobar)
A backgrounder book review.

The new world order (behind the WEF)

Top spy chiefs, heads of state, and global business titans begin secret Bilderberg meetings in Portugal
I came across this news on several platforms, you can find more too. The list of the participants is interesting. ALL of them are dedicated globalists.

The culture war

AI and the future of humanity | Yuval Noah Harari at the Frontiers Forum

If there ever was a good example of fear porn, this is it. Disgusting beyond belief, but must be seen.

And if you want a little more AI fear porn, here is a short list:

The Covid war

The false lesson of lockdown scepticism - UnHerd
Unherd is a clearly left-leaning British publication. I often find there reasonable articles that I disagree with. The people of Unherd are people I could possibly have a reasonable debate with. That is a rare find. This article is a perfect example.
We agree on the problem, but not the solution.
On the other hand, in the same issue, you can also find insane articles like this:
Why should lesbians sleep with men? - UnHerd

Politics

The Durham Report and coverup. Where is Professor Mifsud?
The Duran is slowly growing on me. This is a perfect analysis of what is going on in American politics.

THERE’S MORE TO UNCOVER…| Whitney Webb New Revelations
Whitney Webb is a national treasure. The story here, just like with the Durham report is not the scandal you can see, but the layers behind it.

Humor

I wish we could all see this as funny. It isn’t.
