This is an update to a post published on October 31, 2018
In the analysis Signs of the Times I included a rather specific estimation: less than fifteen years remaining.
Yes, until the ‘end of the world’.
As we know it.
I gave a rather vague explanation for this estimate- “estimate is based upon geopolitical and current events, natural science, Biblical prophecy, and personal opinion”.
I would like to provide some insight into how I have reached some of the conclusions that I have:
Agenda 2030
Agenda 2030 is a road-map to global/corporate centralized control over every aspect of life the UN could think of. It is the first link below- I recommend reading it. Everything they propose sounds good and holy on the surface- getting rid of hunger and poverty and such- but reading the fine print reveals the same old tired socialist plan to equalize everyone not by lifting the lower classes up, but by knocking the middle classes down. The authors of this agenda invoke the “We the Peoples” mantra from the UN charter and brazenly declare they speak for everyone.
The socialist elite plan on owning everything and everyone through UN programs and mandates by 2030. Unless they are stopped, they will be successful. It will be a one-world order. A new world order.
Look it up. Klaus Schwab, Justin Trudeau, have given speeches about it. The World Economic Forum is promoting it.
It is here and it is underway. Don’t expect Traitor Joe to oppose it.
Grand Solar Minimum
A Grand Solar Minimum is a cycle of dramatically reduced solar activity. Many experts believe we are going into one. We are definitely entering a minimum phase, which occurs regularly. But the less frequent and irregularly timed grand cycles are significant.
As you might suppose, there are colder temperatures. These cycles are accompanied by “Mini- Ice Ages”. These are devastating to agriculture and wildlife. Crop failures, famines, and epidemics.
What you might not suppose, and I didn’t know either, is all the other climate effects correlated with these minimums- including earthquakes, volcanoes, disruptions to oceans and the upper atmosphere, and the Earth’s electrical field. There are alot of scientific studies about the effects, several are linked in the article below. A search will find countless more.
The entire 19th chapter of Isaiah is a stunning description of what is happening to Egypt today. But this dam Ethiopia is building will fulfill this prophecy of how the river will be turned far away and will dry up.
There was a time when Egypt wouldn’t have allowed this dam to be built. But since the “Arab Spring”, many Middle Eastern countries including Egypt, no longer have a legitimate functioning government. The Ethiopians have taken advantage of this disarray and have built the dam and reservoir on the main branch of the Nile.
They claim they will fill the reservoir in stages- not ever completely cutting off the flow. The Bible says otherwise:
Isaiah 19: 4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts. 5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
Beast System
The Beast system is being built, beta-tested, and perfected even now. It is a system of Artificial Intelligence, electronic surveillance, and social credit scores.
Artificial Intelligence is the field that is experiencing tremendous growth and development right now. Virtually every scientific field is utilizing AI- super–computers, robots, and algorithms- to enhance human intelligence.
People everywhere-especially in industrialized countries- are now under extensive electronic surveillance. This includes video surveillance, internet and cellphone monitoring, and micro-sensors. If you breathe air, drink water, or eat food, there is a good chance that you have some in your body.
The social credit score, an early version of the Beast system, is being practiced in China. If you don’t conduct yourself in a manner pleasing to the authority, your score goes down, and your privileges are affected. Already, people who do things like criticize the government, lose privileges like being able to buy plane tickets or travel.
Getting a micro chip put into your hand or forehead doesn’t seem like a big deal now- we are being conditioned constantly to embrace all technologies. Most people today, confronted with a choice of a taking a micro chip to be able to participate in society- will gladly do so.
Gog and Magog
Some of the members of this alliance would appear to be identifiable by name- like Ethiopia, Libya, and Iran (Persia) (Ezekiel 38:5)– but others are not, leading to much speculation as to their identities. Most of them are generally referred to as coming from the north, and references to the archaic land of Cush.
The Gog/Magog is coming for Israel. Good candidates for North countries include Turkey, Kazakhstan, Russia, and any number of the former Soviet Republics that are now Islamic states.
Cush could be Somalia, Sudan, or even present day Ethiopia. All this will shake out, but the odds are the players are already involved at some level, and the early stages of this conflict are already ongoing.
Jerusalem
The dateline of Jerusalem may hold the most specific clue.
Israel assumed control of Jerusalem in 1967. This event marked the full restoration of Israel in the land. Jesus said that the generation that is there when this happens, would not pass away before the fulfillment of all the prophecies. (Matthew 24:34)
A Jewish generation is traditionally considered to be 70 years.
JEDI is intended to not only improve information sharing but to dramatically increase the US military’s ability to collect and sort through huge amounts of surveillance information from many, many sources on individuals and groups – governmental and non-governmental – around the world. This will be part of a process of using Artificial Intelligence and algorithms to identify probable targets for killing.
According to a 2018 report by National Public Radio and Edison Research, 8 million Americans own three or more smart speakers, suggesting that they feel the need to always have one within earshot. By 2021, according to another research firm, Ovum, there will be almost as many voice-activated assistants on the planet as people.
It took about 30 years for mobile phones to outnumber humans. Alexa and other Smart speakered ilk may get there in less than half that time.
One reason is that Amazon and Google are pushing these devices hard, discounting them so heavily during last year’s holiday season that industry observers suspect that the companies lost money on each unit sold.
They are so desperate to get them into households that they are willing to lose money. They want full spectrum dominance and they will start with your home, office, and your car.
In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice.
In the future, the office assistants will be modified into robots, and they will be used to carry out tasks by voice as well.
If you are okay with that, the next step is to use modified versions of these innocent assistants to aid in security, law enforcement, and assisting in decisions in warfare scenarios.
You heard right, Alexa may eventually have command over her own army of tin soldiers.
Talk about your dark Christmas metaphors.
In fact, the Nutcracker character in the famed Nutcracker story is actually the story of a mechanical soldier that is the product of a clockmaker and tinkerer, who often gave the children wonderfully unique toys that moved on their own.
In the age-old tale set during the Christmas season, the clock strikes midnight, and the Nutcracker and the other toys come to life to go to war against the Mouse King.
At first glance, this story doesn’t seem to really tie into the Christmas season other than its setting. However, for the sake of the topic at hand, animated tin soldiers fighting a war could easily be updated into a future setting where a smart computer system animates robots to launch an attack against an enemy.
You may have heard of this story, it is called The Terminator.
In the film, The Terminator, a super surveillance system called Skynet becomes self-aware and sees humanity as a threat to its existence. It deploys an army of Terminators, anthropomorphic cyborgs against humanity.
Maybe it can be seen as a stretch to compare an army of animated tin nutcrackers to that of huge mechanical terminators – but there is an important message that can be gleaned from the comparison and that is Alexa wants to order the March of Robotic Tin Soldiers of the Future.
The robotic systems now rolling out in prototype stage are far more capable, intelligent, and autonomous than we realize.
Amazon is seeking to build a global “brain” for the Pentagon called JEDI, a weapon of unprecedented surveillance and killing power, a profoundly aggressive weapon that should not be allowed to be created.
Amazon has built a vast, globally distributed data storage capacity and sophisticated Artificial Intelligence programs to propel its retail business and now it hopes to use this capability to win a $10 billion Pentagon contract to create an artificial “brain” that goes by the project name Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI a moniker that obviously tips its hat to the movie Star Wars.
Amazon is the betting favorite for the contract, which will go to just one bidder, in spite of protests by competitors, chief among them Microsoft and IBM. The Pentagon appears likely to select a winner for the contract in 2019.
In discussing JEDI, Pentagon officials refer to the need for efficiencies in sharing data among its military branches, with the goal of increasing the “lethality” of the US war machine.
JEDI is intended to not only improve information sharing but to dramatically increase the US military’s ability to collect and sort through huge amounts of surveillance information from many, many sources on individuals and groups – governmental and non-governmental – around the world. This will be part of a process of using Artificial Intelligence and algorithms to identify probable targets for killing.
JEDI will do what is being done now on a less coordinated scale and with a smaller volume of surveillance data, but JEDI, promises to find those enemies faster – even if all it takes to be considered an enemy is exhibiting a pattern of behavior that a classified machine-learning model associates with hostile activity.
Call it death by big data.
In addition, JEDI will very likely to be at the heart of managing the first generation of operational US robotic land, sea, air and space weaponry.
Decisions on who and when to kill based on human and JEDI’s massive, fallible Artificial Intelligence will almost certainly be significantly guided by the concept of pre-emptive killing; that is, assassination or larger attack based on suspected threat.
Thus, JEDI will generate new levels of global fear, violence, repression, and conformity in the service of Western US corporations, following current US policies.
It appears very possible that if Amazon gets the Pentagon contract, the personal profiles of its customers around the world, developed to stimulate retail sales, will become, either individually or as aggregated, instruments of these customers’ intimidation and control. In a real way, the acquisitive impulses of hundreds of millions of people may well become the stuff of their imprisonment and, in some cases, their deaths.
Further, JEDI as a global presence represents the creation of a weapon that dramatically ups the level of global military rivalry and ensures more global human conflict. JEDI demonstrates a new level of US determination for global domination that can only be described as disastrous.
The US public’s acceptance of rampant militarism, of which JEDI is a manifestation, is clearly driven by fear of “terrorism” and racial, ethnic and religious differences.
The difficulties for the existing laws of war that this robotics revolution will provoke are barely beginning to be understood. Technology generally evolves much more quickly than the laws of war.
According to numerous reports, the JEDI project stems from the conclusion of Pentagon officials that the US military needs a “brain” operating on cloud technology. The Pentagon’s Request for Proposals to create JEDI says the system must be able to provide information simultaneously to “all Military Departments, Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Defense Components, the Defense intelligence community, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense; the US Coast Guard; the Intelligence Community; international allies and partners; and contractors supporting defense business and mission operations.
The Pentagon leaders have decided that the Pentagon is way behind in developing cloud capability. So, rather than having the military build its own “brain,” the Pentagon will pay to use and to expand the power of an already existent corporate cloud.
To understand the implications of JEDI, we must realize that the information being gathered and sorted will inevitably be used for the targeting and killing of not only opposing government-based military forces but also nongovernmental individuals and groups who are viewed as political or potential military threats by the US. And this information will be gathered on a global scale.
JEDI’s brain will almost certainly be fed a set of criteria commonly used by governments for identifying potential “threats,” such as political ideology, intellectual and religious pursuits, ethnic and racial origin, race, sexual orientation, and social relationships.
We will not know specifically all of the criteria that will be used to define an “enemy” of the US, nor do we know specifically who decides on these criteria. This type of information-gathering and target identification is already a Pentagon activity used to target US drone assassinations.
JEDI would obviously “benefit” from having access to the millions of personal profiles developed by Amazon and other major cloud operators and any other personal information it can capture.
The transfer of a massive amount of military information into a privately owned and built cloud, as will happen with the creation of JEDI, raises the possibility that the owner or owners of that cloud will – because of their knowledge of the cloud structure, capabilities, and content become more powerful than military and elected officials. Such a transfer has never happened before, and the RFP for JEDI does not speak to the question of how JEDI will remain in governmental control.
The degree to which the JEDI cloud provider may be willing to assert control over US politics and military decisions in the absence of specific controls may depend solely on that provider’s ambitions.
We all know of Amazon owner Jeff Bezo’s ambitions.
Jeff Bezos is a person who has shown a determination to be a very big player in Washington. He owns The Washington Post and has become a formidable lobbying force. Amazon has increased spending on lobbying from less than $1 million in 2000 to $13 million in 2017; so far, $10.6 million has been reported in 2018.
This is what we get when we trade our humanity for convenience; it all begins as an innocent office assistant grows into a tool for war.
As military robots gain more and more autonomy, the ethical questions involved will become even more complex. The U.S. military bends over backwards to figure out when it is appropriate to engage the enemy and how to limit civilian casualties. Autonomous robots could, in theory, follow the rules of engagement; they could be programmed with a list of criteria for determining appropriate targets and when shooting is permissible.
Even if a robot has software that follows all the various rules of engagement, and even if it were somehow absolutely free of software bugs and hardware failures (a big assumption), the very question of figuring out who an enemy is in the first place—that is, whether a target should even be considered for the list of screening questions—is extremely complicated in modern war.
It essentially is a judgment call. It becomes further complicated as the enemy adapts, changes his conduct, and even hides among civilians. If an enemy is hiding behind a child, is it okay to shoot or not? Or what if an enemy is plotting an attack but has not yet carried it out? Politicians, pundits, and lawyers can fill pages arguing these points. It is unreasonable to expect robots to find them any easier.
This is the main reason why military lawyers are so concerned about robots being armed and autonomous. As long as “man is in the loop,” traditional accountability can be ensured. Breaking this restriction opens up all sorts of new and seemingly irresolvable legal questions about accountability.
Most people say that all of these decisions should be left for the technocrats to decide. However, everyone should be aware of what is happening.
It shouldn’t just be up to the scientists to make decisions, but everyone from theologians who helped create the first laws of war to the human rights and arms control communities must start looking at where this technological revolution is taking both our weapons and laws.
These discussions and debates also need to be global, as the issues of robotics cross national lines. There are forty-three countries now have military robotics programs. Over time, some sort of consensus might emerge—if not banning the use of all autonomous robots with lethal weapons, then perhaps banning just certain types of robots such as ones not made of metal, which would be hard to detect and thus of most benefit to terrorist groups.
With JEDI we will have a weapon that will dramatically increase the gathering and managing of information to identify people to target for killing and to increase the speed of killing.
It gives me the creeps to think that all that has to be said is “Alexa Drop a Bomb” and the whole world meets its judgment day.
