I thought very much like that until a week ago. Now I get the feeling a shift is coming and I can probably understand and forgive, as much as that can be done while keeping healthy boundaries. I am not there yet lol.
There may also be psychological benefit in connecting with an archetypal father internally, if the real thing is not worth the effort.

I could find nothing said along those lines. I'm also not sure how smart that would be as the automatic response from the US would be 'we have more nukes than you'.

If you listen to Simon Dixon, the whole thing is managed and aimed at repositioning big money for a 'multipolar world order'.
To anyone who is as fed up as me with the US plundering everyone it might sound like a good thing, but I suspect the real goal is to impose Chinese style control on all of us.
EU + Russia could have been a positive force, maybe, but thanks to US' Ukraine op that's out of the window and now Russia is tied to China and the EU is inconsequential.

Barnaby Jack was a security researcher who demonstrated the ability to remotely hack implantable medical devices like pacemakers and insulin pumps, proving they could be manipulated to deliver fatal shocks or lethal insulin doses.
He died in July 2013 just before his scheduled presentation at Black Hat 2013 titled "Hacking Humans," which was intended to detail his findings on medical implants. The articles I could find all say no details were released about the circumstances of his death - so he was likely killed by the CIA.
I could not however find evidence that he could 'hack a human body' as Sabrina Wallace claims.

I found it quite realistic, but also do see how most Americans will struggle to accept that US hegemony might end. My impression is you start with the view that the guy is wrong, and then try to justify that view.

I saw no convincing examples supporting that opinion. The desalination plants are a clear weakness that Iran may or may not exploit. A threat of attacking them may be enough to give them wins.

It is a very bad idea for reasons much closer to home than Skynet.

So what is your advice to those who are at risk? I don's see solutions in your post, just exaggerated warnings which you now try to prove with unrelated, if very sad, facts. What info do you have about what type of phone have those targeted journalists used in all those locations, so you can use them to support your FUD on GoS?
DYOR and decide for yourself is great. If that is your goal, provide level headed, accurate info - that is what enables good decision. Exaggerating risks does not. The targeting of journalists in Gaza had nothing to do with the type of phone they used. As you say yourself, they were killed for being press. Using this example to prove something unrelated is misleading. Do you have any actual evidence that being a GoS user is a threat to life? I am not expecting peer reviewed studies here, just something that makes sense.

2026-01-31 07:08:57 UTC

If your bot did something illegal, you would be on the hook to prove you didn't ask for the illegal shit, and that it was a bot in the first place - which would be practically impossible.

Out of the quoted list of shitty behaviour, the 'exploit workers' is definitely the weakest link. It contains all sorts from over-entitled people screaming exploitation to actual slavery. Happy to ignore that one and I agree that being an insider helps a lot. The problem with the insider as the only requirement is that I don't believe there isn't a single insider circle - there is more than one. So technically you can be an outsider with respect to one circle, or even create a new circle.
So the common denominator is values not membership of a specific clique. Can you think of any billionaires who didn't do any of the stuff in the quote if we ignore the worker exploitation bit?

2026-01-26 05:28:53 UTC

"Under our current system the easiest way to set yourself on a trajectory from millionaire to billionaire to trillionaire is to exploit workers, crush your competition, plunder the available resources of the global south, externalize the costs of industry onto society and the ecosystem, bribe the government to advance your corporate interests via lobbying and campaign donations, contract with the most murderous military and intelligence agencies in the world, and psychologically manipulate the public into consuming products and services they don’t need."

The finest food, the perfect couch, the best car, the ultimate hot tub, the ideal island vacation.
