    , ,

    Japan’s lost war, the propaganda that followed, and how ANZAC blood was used to write the story.

  • Part II — AI, Prophecy, and the Architecture of a Self‑Fulfilling World

    , , , , ,

    How can AI reshape the Middle East Expert by looking at the past? Continued from Part I. It begins almost innocuously: a philosopher asks whether an artificial intelligence, when trained upon every human prophecy, becomes a prophet itself. Once fed the quatrains of Nostradamus and the dictations of Baba Vanga, the machine no longer interprets belief;…

  • Part I – The Prophecies Align: Nostradamus, Baba Vanga, and the Inevitable Unravelling of Israel

    , , , , , ,

  • Is the US Oil Sector in Denial?

    , ,

    The ponzi of fracking and how it keeps the petrodollar alive I came across an interesting article in my email the other morning about how higher energy taxes threaten US shale boom, and I was intrigued not really by the message, but by how the message was being delivered.  Being close to the oil sector myself…
