If this is true about what Dan Bongino told Tucker Carlson — y'all now what this means, right?

@Jonathan_K_Cook This is the full video.
I don’t know if humanity can ever recover from this.
Not just the atrocities.
But the overwhelming support for these horrors by Western media.
Have we lost our minds?
Have we lost our humanity???

@cwebbonline @DarkWebWarrior someone had him watch a doc about the Gilded Age / robber barons and instead of being appalled.. he was like.. oh sht.. that’s me… the same thing happened when a bunch of republican congressmen watched Handmaids Tale

We are all just narrators now.

We watch the wars. We clock the false flags. We watch AI move into everything while everyone just talks about it.

The biggest accountability case of our lifetime just sits there: Epstein. Names in the files. Sworn testimony. Bank records. Nothing moves.

So what is the talking for?

AI isn't the revolution you think it is. There is a specific purpose behind it - it's to drive your critical thinking skills down, it's also to make you ignorant and lazy.
They're selling you this stuff and they know what it's going to do to the population. Think about it.

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

In 1879, JP Morgan paid a man to invent the lie that is the foundation of modern economics.

A billionaire who helped start Amazon just exposed the whole thing on Diary of a CEO, and once you hear it you will never look at paychecks the same way again:

146 years ago, a guy named Henry George wrote a book called Progress and Poverty.

It was the first mainstream book about the rich systematically stealing from the poor, and It literally became the bestselling book in the history of the United States at the time.

The working class was reading it everywhere, and the people at the top of the economy completely lost their minds.

So JP Morgan personally brought a man named John Bates Clark to Columbia University, which was essentially the intellectual headquarters of Wall Street, and told him to fix the problem.

Clark wrote a book called The Distribution of Wealth. In it, he invented something called the "theory of marginal productivity," which claims that because markets are perfectly efficient, the amount of money you earn reflects EXACTLY the value you contribute to the economy.

If you make $15,000 a year, that's because you're providing $15,000 of value. If a hedge fund manager makes $500 million a year moving money around, that's an accurate reflection of the value he creates in the world.

And Clark literally said the quiet part out loud IN HIS OWN BOOK.

He wrote that they had to prove to working people that no matter how much they make, whether it's a little or a lot, it accurately reflects their value, because if workers ever concluded that their labor was worth more than they were being paid, they would revolt and destroy the entire system.

That was the whole point. The theory was built to prevent a revolution.

And it worked so well that it got absorbed into mainstream economics and is STILL taught as a foundational principle to this day.

Every time a CEO tells you "the market decides your salary," they're repeating a framework that was literally commissioned by JP Morgan in the 1800s to convince you not to ask for more.

Nick Hanauer, the billionaire who told this story, also shared the numbers that prove why it matters right now:

The median full-time worker in America earns about $60,000 a year. If that same worker had maintained the same share of GDP they held in 1975, they wouldn't be making $60,000. They'd be making $120,000. That gap goes all the way up to the 90th percentile. If you earn $180,000 today, you'd be earning $250,000 under the old distribution.

The ONLY people who benefited from 50 years of economic growth were the top 10%, and the vast majority of that went to the top 1%. That is trillions of dollars every single year that used to be wages for ordinary working people and now sits in the accounts of the wealthiest people on the planet.

This happened because of policy. Tax cuts for the rich, deregulation for the powerful, and wage suppression for everyone else, all justified by an economic theory that was invented specifically to make you believe you deserve exactly what you're getting.

And the craziest part is that GDP growth rates in America were 4 to 4.5% for decades when workers were included in prosperity. As soon as the neoliberals took over in the mid-1970s and implemented these policies, GDP growth fell to 3% and eventually to 2%.

Including people in the economy doesn't slow growth down. It's literally the thing that CREATES growth. And the theory that convinced the world otherwise was a hit job paid for by one of the richest men in history to keep workers quiet.

What do you think?

@1concordia @OopsGuess Do you think the west is not going to use technology to track people and limit their rights?

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

Chinese people are not terrified of AI because China mostly presents automation as a way to remove humans from dangerous, exhausting, hostile work:
Coal mines, power grids, extreme weather, heavy industry, and disaster response.

In America, AI arrives with layoffs, “efficiency,” restructuring, shareholder value, and workers being told their lives are obsolete.

Same technology, different civilization logic.

One asks: How can machines reduce human suffering?
The other asks: How many humans can we remove from payroll?

AI does not automatically become dystopia.
It becomes dystopia when capitalism owns the switch.
