Are New-World-Order Elites Plotting To Use AI To ‘Deprogram’ So-Called Conspiracy Theorists?
Authored by Jacob Burns via HeadlineUSA.com,
Might the New World Order use biased, pre-manipulated artificial intelligence programs to try to “deprogram” those with unpopular opinions by persuading them that their logic does not compute?
A recent study on that subject underwritten by the John Templeton Foundation might give so-called conspiracy theorists one more thing to be paranoid about, according to Popular Science.
Critics have already sounded the alarm that leftist radicals in Silicon Valley and elsewhere were manipulating the algorithms used to train AI so that it automatically defaulted to anti-conservative biases.
The next step may be programming any verboten viewpoints into the realm of “conspiracy theory,” then having powerful computers challenge human users to a battle of logic that inevitably is stacked against them with cherrypicked data.
The study, titled “Durably reducing conspiracy beliefs through dialogues with AI,” attempted to counter the common view that some people will not change their minds, even when presented with facts and evidence.
Addressing the problem of “widespread belief in unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,” researchers postulated that conspiracy theories can, contrary to the scientific narrative, be countered by way of systematic fact-checking.
Among those theories tested were more traditional conspiracies such as those involving the assassination of John F. Kennedy or the possibility of alien landings that were known to the United States government.
But others included more immediately politicized claims, such as the lawfulness of COVID lockdowns or the validity of the 2020 presidential election, both of which are a “major source of public concern.”
The study was conducted by having conspiratorial participants engage in brief conversations with AI, with the aim of “curing” the participants of their ostensibly false opinions.
Researchers concluded that “the treatment reduced participants’ belief in their chosen conspiracy theory by 20% on average,” suggesting that “treating” people with certain facts can indeed alter their opinions, particularly when those facts come from AI bots.
The “treatment” received also reportedly “persisted undiminshed for at least 2 months,” meaning that such conditioning could eventuate in regular treatment for those deemed conspiracy theorists.
Ultimately, then, AI conditioning was determined to be a potentially useful tool in addressing the “psychological needs and motivations” of such people. Researchers speculated that the technology could be implemented online in the coming years, particularly in online forums or on social media.
David Rand, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who co-authored the study, told reporters that he was optimistic about the future of AI conditioning.
“This is really exciting,” he said. “It seemed like it worked and it worked quite broadly.”

Tropical Storm Gordon Forecast Discussion
000 WTNT42 KNHC 150238 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number 15 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072024 1100 PM AST Sat Sep 14 2024 Gordon's surface circulation has become fully exposed this evening and is displaced about 150 mi west of the remaining deep convective mass. The deep-layer westerly shear likely has increased during the past few hours. The initial intensity is lowered to 35 kt for this advisory and is based on constrained subjective satellite intensity T-number estimates from TAFB and SAB. Based on the statistical GFS/ECMWF SHIPS intensity guidance and global model sounding forecasts, Gordon should continue to struggle and weaken during the next few days while moving through a harsh thermodynamic environment. In fact, the global models agree that the cyclone will become a remnant low toward the end of the week as it commences a gradual north-northwestward turn. For now, the surface circulation is expected to remain intact, and Gordon is expected to continue moving generally northward, where atmospheric conditions could become less hostile. The official intensity forecast shows Gordon maintaining depression strength through day 5 in deference to the global model and HCCA solutions. The Decay-SHIPS, LGEM, and IVCN intensity aids, however, continue to show significant re-strengthening late in the period. Consequently, subsequent advisories may need changes, particularly if the global models align more with the intensity aids mentioned above. Gordon's initial motion is estimated to be west-southwestward or 245/9 kt and is steered by a low- to mid-tropospheric ridge extending west-southwestward from high pressure over the North Atlantic. Gordon should continue toward the west-southwest or west during the next 60-72 hours. Afterward, a weakness in the subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic is forecast in response to an amplifying mid- to upper-tropospheric trough. As the cyclone approaches this break in the ridge, the cyclone should gradually turn toward the north-northwest by the end of the period. This forecast track scenario once again assumes that the cyclone will survive during the next several days.

Venezuela claim of US plot to oust Maduro ‘categorically false’: State Dept
Allegations by Venezuela that the United States was involved in a plot to destabilize the government and carry out an attack on President Nicolas Maduro were “categorically false,” a State Department spokesperson said Saturday.
The spokesperson confirmed that a US military member had been detained and noted “unconfirmed reports of two additional US citizens detained in Venezuela,” after Caracas said three Americans were being held over the matter.

Netherlands declares state of emergency over migrant crisis
The Netherlands, under the leadership of Geert Wilders’ right-wing party, announced on Friday that it would be declaring a national state of emergency in an effort to reduce the influx of asylum seekers.
The government plans to end its policy of granting open-ended asylum permits and limit the circumstances under which those granted asylum can bring family members into the country. Currently, around 40,000 asylum seekers enter the Netherlands each year, according to DW.
The emergency law will also allow the Dutch government to suspend decisions on new asylum applications for the next two years and limit the facilities available to asylum seekers.
“We are taking measures to make the Netherlands as unattractive as possible for asylum seekers,” explained Asylum Minister Marjolein Faber in a statement.
To implement these emergency powers to combat its ongoing migrant crisis, the Dutch government will issue a royal decree, allowing it to bypass parliamentary approval, similar to actions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it will need to prove that these policies are legally justified.
The move comes after Geert Wilders’ election victory last year, which was driven by his promise to implement the strictest migration laws in the European Union (EU). In response to the Dutch government’s aims, the EU will likely push back on such policies as members have previously agreed to the EU’s migration pact, and opt-outs are typically discussed during the negotiating phase.
However, the Dutch government has reaffirmed its intention to seek an exemption from the pact.
In response to the Dutch government’s announcement, EU spokesperson Eric Mamer stated, “We have adopted legislation, you don’t opt out of adopted legislation in the EU, that is a general principle.”

TROPICAL STORM ILEANA
TROPICAL STORM ILEANA
Coastal Watches/Warnings and Forecast Cone for Storm Center
* If the storm is forecast to dissipate within 3 days, the “Full Forecast” and “3 day” graphic will be identical
Click Here for a 5-day Cone Printer Friendly Graphic
How to use the cone graphic (video):
About this product:
This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink),
tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the
center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center
at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be
tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical. If only an L is displayed,
then the system is forecast to be a remnant low. The letter inside the dot indicates the NHC’s forecast intensity for that time:
D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH
S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH
H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH
M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH
NHC tropical cyclone forecast tracks can be in error. This forecast
uncertainty is conveyed by the track forecast “cone”, the solid white
and stippled white areas in the graphic. The solid white area depicts
the track forecast uncertainty for days 1-3 of the forecast, while the
stippled area depicts the uncertainty on days 4-5. Historical data
indicate that the entire 5-day path of the center of the tropical
cyclone will remain within the cone about 60-70% of the time. To
form the cone, a set of imaginary circles are placed along the
forecast track at the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h positions,
where the size of each circle is set so that it encloses 67% of the
previous five years official forecast errors. The cone is then formed
by smoothly connecting the area swept out by the set of circles.
It is also important to realize that a tropical cyclone is not a point. Their
effects can span many hundreds of miles from the center. The area
experiencing hurricane force (one-minute average wind speeds of at least
74 mph) and tropical storm force (one-minute average wind speeds of
39-73 mph) winds can extend well beyond the white areas shown enclosing
the most likely track area of the center. The distribution of hurricane
and tropical storm force winds in this tropical cyclone can be seen in
the Wind History graphic linked above.
Considering the combined forecast uncertainties in track, intensity, and size, the
chances that any particular location will experience winds of 34 kt (tropical storm force),
50 kt, or 64 kt (hurricane force) from this tropical cyclone are presented in
tabular form for selected locations and forecast positions. This information is also presented in
graphical form for the 34 kt, 50 kt,
and 64 kt thresholds.
Note: A detailed definition of the NHC track forecast cone is also available.

Report: Most of Michigan’s ‘Uncommitted’ Won’t Support Kamala Harris
It appears Most of Michigan’s “uncommitted” community, which protested the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in the Democrat primary, will not back Vice President Kamala Harris in the general election, according to a report.
Ryan Grim, the co-host of Counter Points and editor of Drop Site News, wrote in his newsletter on Substack Friday that the temperature at the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee conference in the Arab-dense city of Dearborn, Michigan, was cold toward Harris:
Much of the talk at the conference was about whether the community would wind up supporting Kamala Harris in the general election. The consensus seemed to be that the vast majority will not do so. Green Party nominee Jill Stein, ahead of Harris in some polls of Muslim voters here, even spoke on opening night and was given quite a warm welcome.
Michigan was notably where the uncommitted movement began. The “Listen to Michigan” campaign aimed to get 10,000 uncommitted votes in the Democrat primary to protest the Biden-Harris administration for a ceasefire in the war.
Listen to Michigan smashed its goal, as the uncommitted option garnered 100,000 votes, approaching the 154,188 vote margin that Biden won Michigan by against former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The movement includes Muslims, Arab Americans, young voters, and far-left progressives.
In Dearborn, Biden actually lost to the uncommitted option by a wide margin. Uncommitted drew 6,432 votes (57 percent), while Biden followed with 4,526 votes (40 percent).
The movement spread to other states, like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, as the Biden-Harris administration failed to secure a ceasefire deal. What is more, Biden signed legislation sending $26.3 billion in defense support to Israel in April, even after the uncommitted movement had made waves in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
The divide on the left has persisted, if not worsened, despite Harris supplanting Biden at the top of the ticket in July. During her first interview with CNN, well over a month after becoming the presumptive Democrat nominee, Harris doubled down on her and Biden’s Israel policies.
She initially skirted a question from CNN’s Dana Bash about potentially withholding “some U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.” Bash followed up, asking, “But no change in policy in terms of arms and so forth?”
“No, we have to get a deal done,” Harris said.
“I remain committed — since I’ve been on October 8 — to what we must do to work toward a two-state solution where Israel is secure and, in equal measure, the Palestinians have security, self-determination, and dignity,” she went on to add.
Grim analyzed the interview the next day while hosting Breaking Points alongside the show’s regular host, Krystal Ball, and drilled down on Bash’s use of “some” in her line of question.
“The Biden administration has even said they would restrict ‘some’ weapons, like the 2,000-pound bombs used for offensive purposes,” he said.
“People keep saying that Harris is better rhetorically and more empathetic. Where’s the empathy there, when you’re actually not even standing by the tiniest of concessions that the Biden administration, her administration has made?” he added.
Grim’s report Friday also comes as Harris is losing to the Green Party’s Jill Stein and Trump with Muslim voters in Michigan, according to a poll from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The survey found that 40 percent of the Muslims who responded back Stein, 18 percent support Trump, and 12 percent back Harris. Another 21 percent are undecided.
The United Arab Emirates has notably categorized CAIR as a terrorist organization, and a U.S. federal judge ruled in 2009 that evidence existed “to establish” ties between CAIR and Hamas, as Breitbart News has noted:
In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed).
The August 25-27 CAIR/Molitical Consulting LLC survey included 1,478 responses, “1076 of which were verified and matched to the national voter file,” and the margin of error is ±2.95 percentage points.
