I don't know if "technocrats" are simply shills for those already in power or if they actually believe that technocracy may govern and thus serve as useful idiots for those already in power.

There will be no "technocracy". The rulers won't be algorithms. The rulers will USE technocracy for two things:

1 .To shield the powerful from criticism and possible revolt. "Things suck around here, but what an we do? Hang a computer chip?" The true rulers will remain behind the curtain, laughing at the proles if they consider them at all.

2. Bottlenecks. Bottlenecks are the greatest tool for a tiny minority seeking to control. a large population. Turkey holds the entire Russian Navy at bay because of the Bosporus and Dardanelles. Warfare is both a useful and dangerous tool for those in power. Warfare keeps both the native and the "opposing" (the powerful rule both sides, of course) proles killing one another, thus reducing the number of potential threats to their power and also distracting the proles from seeing the true cause of their misery. But warfare necessarily puts weapons into the hand of the proles, and although great efforts are made to propagandize and deceive the proles into fighting one another, one never knows when one malcontent may turn his weapon against those in power. Hence, "AI warfare". All the killing, but instead of putting weapons in the hands of thousands of proles, the powerful will provide sophisticated weaponry only to an easily controllable few joystick warriors who can be either bribed or forced to maintain loyalty to the powerful. eventually those few warriors will be replaced by "the algorithm", which will of course be programmed to ensure "continuity of government" beyond all else.

The ICC, the U. N., the media, et al, are evil and terrible, except when they are attacking, sanctioning, or speaking against Israel - which they do regularly.

Where are the people who actually believe what God has said about Israel? Where are the people who can put themselves in Israel’s shoes - surrounded by extremist Muslims whose primary goal is wiping israel off the map?

Who has read the Hamas charter - not a softened or toned-down translation for tender sympathizers’ ears, but an accurate translation of it?

If your neighbors had violently taken your children hostage and were out for your destruction, would you just sign and resign yourself to your fate? What man would?

How many times has the media blamed Israel for something, only to have it proven that it was done by Hamas? This happens repeatedly. The accusations against Israel are quick and harsh and loud, but the follow-up corrections are scarcely seen or heard.

Soneto al 33.3%

Irán pero volverán,

arrugados hipocampos

y de cuarzo las manos,

como de Afganistán.

Antiguos y argentados

chafarotes bailarán,

quiméricos soldados

como los gangsters del rap.

Si supieran geografía

bien podrían estimar

el coste de la porfía:

pero solo saben matar

y por falta de rebeldía

traumados los han de programar.

India/Pakistan was 100% a FF, via India. And I think that the Khazarian State (aka 'Israel') also has their fingers in it, too! India behaves VERY MUCH like the Khazarian State!!!

Dimitri Lascaris' recent interview with Aman Ullah Tariq, enlightened me about how India behaves like the Khazarian State.
