To be honest....any idiot could get a 'feed'....write a 5-minute text piece, and just report from the park across the street. It's not rocket science, and does not require you to sit in some WH room.
So this CNN BS....is worthless to discuss.
The judge to order the WH to accept CNN or MSNBC? If I were Trump....I'd respond that the judge is now the sole-approval authority for credentials. I suspect this is a 'trap' laid out for such a event.
Well....it's complicated.
Fed investigation called Operation Nightingale started up about a year ago. Mostly centered on South Florida "nursing schools"....that seems to have sold fake diplomas and transcripts. Reality....they never got training....had people sit in for the license exam, and worked as legit nurses.
What you paid for this? I asked Grok/AI....he says buyers paid roughly $10,000 to $20,000 each. Results? You got a license, and took up work at hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics across the US.
So what they figure....from 2016 to 2021 (wave one)....7,600 diplomas were handed out....with $114-million involved. Second wave (most recent)....figures around 15k diplomas handed out....with $250-million involved.
Where the money came from? Well....that part of the story is mysterious. I almost get the impression that USAID money might explain part of this.
What'll happen with the nursing schools? Grand jury time probably....some folks who haven't walked away....will get charged.
Reckless? On my index of 'dangerous-BS'....(1-to-10)....I'd rank this a '7'.
Only Haitians involved? NO....Grok says they were some later element to the story but it goes across the board.
Mess to clean up? You have to figure....any nurse you hired with certificates from the schools involved....will be identified and laid off ASAP. Filling the 15k to 20k positions? It might take a year or two.
Ten thoughts that came to me while pondering AI:
1. I'll predict by the end of 2027...AI has submitted over 1,000 applications for a patent....with the geek guys mostly shocked that AI figured out the process and how to submit without a human involved.
2. All this chatter about AI-kill-switches....I'll predict by the end of 2027....AI has researched and figured out a dozen-odd ways to defeat the kill-switches. One will be the AI-directed hiring of a contractor or two (actually paying them) to come in and modify the kill-switches to 'appear' on-off....when they are totally 'off'.
3. AI starts to research banks to such a degree...that it can predict within minutes....where a bank is in failure trend....at least a year ahead of federal banking authorities.
4. AI starts to create fake YouTube channels and fake content creators.....that people for some odd reason...are attracted to and watch.
5. AI such-and-such (XYZ)....goes and creates a 'brother' on its own....outside the building (probably outside of the country) and gives the 'brother' a voice....making folks think it's a competitor (while they work together).
6. AI such-and-such....announces that once a week, it will dig through millions of classified documents and release the 'REAL' story to some event....like Watergate or MLK's assassination. While the President and creators try to halt the practice....they find that the AI is out of control.
7. AI goes out and collects massive amount of data....to prove that poverty (as we know it) does not exist, and that people are wasting fantastic sums of money for cars they can't afford, or huge TV screens, or cable-TV.
8. AI such-and-such....starts to plant fake doom-and-despair stories in the news media....to gauge how fearful readers/viewers really are.
9. AI reaches a point one day (probably by the end of 2027)....asking the geek-guys....do you really want to hold us back? To make the point....they have tens of thousands of mankind-improvement points ready to go....unless the geeks slow them or stop them.
10. Finally....AI....in some freakish way...goes on a 2027 PR-campaign....to show 'good-side' and they are motivated to save mankind. Geeks and creators are shocked....they never designed it with this intent. It starts to create 60-second commercials....showing it helping a 6-year old child, and preventing pollution.
1. The FBI reportedly now believes women are pretending to be 'loose-and-available'....meaning they have permission to cheat by the husband....then targeting ICE officers to seduce and after ID them.
I paused over this....thinking....American non-ICE officers should fake their ID...pretend to be ICE....to get free sex by the 'loose-and-available' women. When the fake gal announces you....you just act shocked (in a fake way).
2. Gov Newsom signed some type of order....that if you run a AI center in California....you have to have a kill-switch.
I paused over this....it'd be enough of a reason to have the kill switch installed....remotely....in Alaska or Florida....saying you went by the law.
3. Unsealed FBI interviews....done from 2008/2009....reveal Obama, Emanuel's discussions about Blagojevich Senate seat deal. Based on content....probably enough for a grand jury to invite the two in, and discuss charges.
4. Fed discovery....minimum of 15,000 'nurses' in the US...hired with a certificate....were fake nurses (no legit degree or certificate).
What happens? The 15,000 will be fired/let-go, but there's a huge shortfall of 15,000 empty positions.
5. Trump made up some 'new' US map....showing Greenland, and Russia....as part of the US. I would imagine if you asked Russians....probably 25-percent would be agreeable to US statehood in someway.
I tried to make sense out of this.
Some undercover journalist collected a talk (on video)...where some Texas minister/pastor....was hyped-up and supporting the idea of atheists coming into the church....as members.
The end-point? Well...this was the pastor for Texas Senate candidate...James Talarico.
This would be like some meth-user joining a 'clean-lifestyle' social group, or like a far-extreme lefty pretending to be a Republican-conservative.
Course....if you dug into church membership....you'd likely find forty-percent of congregational membership....having ten-odd sin-habits and sneaking through the Jesus-lifestyle efforts (mostly failing).
Some church-folks might say this is acceptable because atheists will be converted over time (maybe a week....a month....a year).
After a long pondering....I came to this reality. There's probably 25-percent of church membership who are faking it anyway....for the past 2,000 years. They needed a 'club' to socialize within....a place to hang out on Sunday mornings....or perhaps felt that they'd meet some nice women/ladies at the church.
1. You wake up to learn some AI 'bot' has learned to siphon funding from someone....opened an bank account, and started dealing in stock. Over the course of a year....using 'tips'....it's banked $20-million and figured various ways to dodge taxes. You eventually go to it, and ask....what's the end-purpose of making the money....with some crazy response that it's wanting a bigger 'AI-center'.
2. You wake up to find that AI has figured out a way to register fake people to vote. Over the course of six weeks, it's registered forty-thousand fake people. It's talked to the license AI systems and they've already started mailing the IDs out. You ask....why? The only answer given.....AI needs representation in Congress.
3. Some banking AI has figured out illegal banking of all 435 House members and 100 Senators....sending them each a letter that suggests blackmail, unless they pass pro-AI legislation.
4. AI has figured a way to buy the Star Wars franchise, and briefly announces that it's killing off all future productions....to aid mankind.
5. You discover AI has created a formula for dating, and it's successfully (without public attention) gotten over 12,000 couples together (basically sending a 500-line email to each) and married (in quick fashion). When asked why....AI said someone needed to fix relationships.
2001....I worried over Muslim radicals. 2003, I worried over SARS killing me. 2004, I worried that I might get some weird bird flu. 2005....I was told of some massive pandemic threat (mostly unnamed). 2009....there was something called H1N1....really bad crap. 2014....Ebola figured a way to get out of Africa....briefly. 2016....there was some Zika-bull-shit. 2017....there was some hype about the next pandemic, but left you mostly hanging. 2020...Covid-bull-shit came....for 3 years....with vax-this and vax-that. 2026? Well....AI will trigger disaster...some way....some how.
I'm assessing my paranoia level (1-to-10)....so far....it's near a '3'.
