offsite link Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!

This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".

According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.

People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.

Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.

offsite link Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza

Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support

With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza

Plandemic Stage 2: PlannedChaos – American Cities Become a War Zone Overnight

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday June 08, 2020 22:39author by 1 of indy Report this post to the editors

The suspicious rapid spread of the Floyd protests

This story is being reposted in full because it points out that there is probably a sinister agenda being used by the US government behind the sudden and rapid rise of the Floyd protests around the world by the way they are heavily promoted and encourage in the MSN media whereas in the past they always ignore, underplay or discredit anything progressive like anti-war protests, poverty issues etc.

The death of George Floyd is just one of many unjustified murders of black people by the US state. This is not a recent problem and goes back to some degree to the 1960s when black people rose up against injustice in the days of Martin Luther King. At that time the Black Panthers arose and many others and the movement had swung to the Left which scared the establishment. A decision was taken by the establishment to criminalize all blacks and that is what they did. The first step was to launch the FBI CoIntelPro operation against the black panthers and other groups by creating divisions, rumours, instigating gang warfare, outright murder by the state and very long term prison sentences for people in the movement using trumped up charges. The next step which really kicked in during the Reagan years was to massively increase the prison population so much so that today most black men in the USA between the ages of 20 and 30 have been imprisoned basically for little reason. At the same time throughout the 1970s and 1980s the CIA ran drug running into the inner cities as brilliantly exposed by Gary Webb who proved in court the CIA fuelled the crack epidemic. The purpose was to smash black communities. Again largely successful. So here we are today and once again the trauma of what has happened is being used for other sinister plans against the population as a whole. It is in this context that the piece below should be read.

As the United States begins to open up their states from the Coronavirus Plandemic and begin the summer season, a new crisis now dominates the news cycle: the reactions to the horrible death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of police.

Events are unfolding fast now, as protests have spread from Minneapolis to almost every major city in the U.S., something that probably has not been seen in the U.S. since the 1960s race riots.

Even the White House was locked down for a brief time yesterday, so strong were the protests.

The Governor of Minnesota has now “fully mobilized” the National Guard, a force of over 13,000, in the biggest deployment in the state’s history, and if the violence continues across the U.S., we can probably expect similar deployments in other states as well.

How could this happen?

First, we have to remind ourselves that the corporate media is controlled by a few main leaders, and they spin the narrative that they want spread to the American public. The Globalists need a crisis to create the planned response in order for them to usher in their New World Order, which we have previously reported is no longer a “Conspiracy Theory” as the plans have now been published on the Internet.

If you have not yet watched the film, Out of the Shadows, please do. This is a timely film for the ages, and in it you will learn about the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird developed back in the 1940s after WWII to control the minds and values of Americans through the media.

We now know that the protests and rioting that have been going on in Minneapolis, which were relatively peaceful the first night or two, are being caused by people coming into the state from the outside.

In his press conference this morning (Saturday May 30th) Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stated:

This is absolutely no longer about George Floyd or addressing inequities anymore. This is an organized attack designed to destabilize civil society.

They estimate that 80% of the protesters now are from outside the State of Minnesota.

Governor Walz claims that they used contact tracing, the same technology being used for COVID-19, to determine who these people are coming in from outside the state:

As we have made arrests, we have done contract-tracing similar to our Covid response. Who are they associated with? What platforms are they advocating for?

As is to be expected, the alleged groups coming into the State are being attributed to different groups, based on partisan politics.

President Trump tweeted:

It’s ANTIFA and the Radical Left. Don’t lay the blame on others!

while Governor Walz said:

We have seen things like white supremacy…

One thing is for certain: This is not about George Floyd anymore. There is a bigger purpose to this, and it was obviously planned.

Adam Dick, writing for the Ron Paul Institute in an article titled “Protesters, Rioters, Looters, and Revolutionaries, Be Aware There Are Government Agents Among You,” stated:

With protests, riots, looting, and revolutionary acts rising over the last few days across the country, here is a bit of information for participants in these activities to keep in mind: There are likely government agents among you. These government agents are undercover and taking part in the activities with you. Their role may be to take down names and inform on activities; their role may be to act as provocateurs, seeking to lead you and others to do or say particular things; their role may be to make arrests.

Adam’s words appear to be spot on, as a cell phone camera caught a man who was wearing a riot-control gas mask in plain clothes breaking the window of an Autozone store, which later burned down

As the video went viral, some people identified the man as St. Paul police officer Jacob Pederson.

The police department denied it, and the corporate media tried to discredit the story, but a woman who claims to be his ex-wife came forward and said she recognized not only him, but also the respirator and gloves he was wearing.

Adam Dick goes on to write about one of the videos he watched online:

http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/peace-and-prosperity/2020/may/30/protesters-rioters-looters-and-revolutionaries-be-aware-there-are-government-agents-among-you/

I looked at a Friday Twitter post by journalist Luke Rudkowski. Rudkowski’s tweet includes a video clip in which a uniformed cop is among a group of people, many of whom seem to not be too happy with the cop. The cop is doling out some physical abuse, particularly on an individual he is trying to restrain, and receiving some physical abuse as well from several people in the crowd. It appears that the cop may be on the verge of being overpowered and seriously hurt. Indeed, it looks like a situation where he may pull out a gun to protect himself.

In the latter part of the video, one more person rushes into the area of conflict and seems to engage in a scuffle with the cop, drawing the cop out of the area and even chasing the cop off. At least that is how it seemed the first time I watched the video.

Something seemed off about how the two men interacted in the latter part of the video, so I watched a few more times.

Watching the video over and over, it looks more and more like the man who had seemed to come in to scuffle with the cop is actually pulling the cop out of the fray as a friend or coworker may do, while maybe putting on some ruse of conflict to ensure the extraction works. Indeed, at the end of the video clip, after a few viewings, it sure looks like neither man is chasing after the other. Instead, once clear of the danger that had confronted the cop, both men appear to jog off together.

It seems impossible to be certain just from looking at the video clip, but what appears to be happening here is an undercover cop, posing as a member of the protest, riot, or whatever came in to save the uniformed cop’s bacon or to prevent a further escalation of the physical conflict.

Undercover government agents are out there, and they are not out there just to protect the uniformed police. They are also there for purposes including surveilling and foiling the protesters, rioters, looters, or revolutionaries, as well as both provoking people to commit crimes and making arrests.

What will the Government Reaction be?

We are now seeing unprecedented events unfolding very quickly before our eyes, as our world rapidly changes. As I have noted in previous articles, you can throw out the term “Conspiracy Theory” now, because we are living through this, and it is quite obvious that for these events to happen as quickly as they are, there is a plan in place.

The only question unanswered at this point, is what is the next move of the Globalists, or what many people call the “Deep State?”

Because every time they create a crisis, they have a planned solution in place to combat the fear that the crisis presents, all in the name of keeping everyone “safe.”

So as you look at the narrative the corporate media is creating, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that racial divisions and inequalities are the key issue here. They probably have a much larger goal in mind here to usher in this “New World Order.”

Up until now, all of the protests we have seen since the coronavirus situation started have been largely among white middle class Americans, such as protesting at State Capitals, homeschool families going to parks that are supposedly closed in order to protest, small business owners defying orders and opening up their stores, etc.

Up until this week, we have not really seen many protests in the poorer sections of the major cities, where the vast majority of minorities live. Could it be because the government has tried to keep everyone quiet by handing out stimulus checks, increasing unemployment benefits, and other things to keep everyone quiet and willing to endure the lock downs?

But now that has changed almost literally overnight, and we need to ask, why?

This is not about the brutal death of a black man anymore, as horrible as that was. And could it be that those in the cities are walking into a trap by participating in these riots?

The National Guard is already being called out in some states, and there is talk that if that is not enough to quell the violence, that the military could get involved. The United Nations has also weighed in on the riots, and have condemned them stating “Procedures must change.”

The UN Human Rights Chief has demanded that authorities in the United States take “serious action” to stop the police killings of unarmed African-Americans following the death of George Floyd.

One police precinct in Minneapolis has already burned down. Could this all be a prelude to the militarization of our cities, with possible UN involvement?

We reported a couple of weeks ago that the government’s Operation Warp Speed program, which is spending HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars to fast-track a COVID vaccine, is led by a military general, General Gustave Perna, and that once the vaccine is ready, it will be deployed by the military.

I have also previously written that I think the idea of a national mandatory COVID vaccine for everyone is probably not going to happen, given that almost 30 percent of adults polled say they would not take one, and given the fact that currently less than 50% of the adult population gets the annual flu shot.

The resistance would probably be very high, and this is a battle that will be happening at the State level, where there are already mandatory vaccination laws on the books for children, as a condition for public education.

So the more likely scenario that would probably happen, is that most government services, such as public education, public housing, public health care, food stamps, etc. – might all be conditioned on receiving the COVID vaccine, so that those who refuse the vaccine will no longer be able to avail of these free public services, which by that time might even include “Universal Basic Income,” which some believe the current stimulus checks are a prelude to.

And who will this affect the most?

The same people represented by those who today are out on the streets protesting against racial inequalities, largely the poor minorities today who are mostly unemployed and who cannot afford to say “no” and instead choose private education, private healthcare, etc.

And remember, Dr. Judy Mikovits and Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, have both said that the COVID vaccine could easily kill 50 million people, and seriously injure many more who will wish they had died, and be dependent on the medical system for the rest of their life

Eugenics and Reducing the World’s Population is the Goal for a New World Order

What the government response is going to be to these riots that are so quickly spreading throughout the U.S. is still speculation at this point. I am writing this on Saturday afternoon, May 30th, and there are fears that the rioting will increase and be even worse tonight, so the situation is changing very rapidly and is very fluid.

But let’s think about what we already do know regarding the Globalists and their agenda for a “New World Order.”

They want the population reduced – this is no secret. Bill Gates and others who are blazing the path into this “brave new world” have very strong ties to the eugenics movement, which seeks to reduce the world’s population, primarily through the medical system, as the “science” behind today’s medical system is largely based on eugenics, even though the actual word “eugenics” fell out of favor during WWII. See:

The people typically targeted to reduce the world’s population are the old and feeble, and the young who are child-bearing age, particularly the poor.

If you haven’t been paying attention, Stage 1 of the Plandemic did a pretty “good” job of reducing American’s sick elderly population, as the casualties were overwhelmingly in America’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

At one point around mid-March, the CDC was reporting that about 80% of the COVID deaths were in nursing homes. Today they are estimating that figure to be around one third, but we need to consider that when federal funding kicked in for COVID treatments, just about anyone coming into the hospital was considered a COVID patient, and there have even been recent reports that people dying in automobile accidents are being labeled as COVID deaths, just so they can be reimbursed for expenses.

But we were told this COVID virus did not affect children much.

So is this the plan for Stage 2? Will we see widespread injuries due to medical products like vaccines where young girls become infertile, as is happening now with the Gardasil virus vaccine? And will there be mass casualties due to medical products like vaccines, that will possibly be blamed on a “second wave” of the COVID virus, prompting even more medical interventions such as vaccines?

It is all speculation at this point, but things are moving fast, and people need to wake up and understand that there is an agenda here, and what we have been watching unfold in American cities the past couple of days really has nothing to do with the tragic death of a young black man.

There could be much, much larger problems to worry about and start preparing for in terms of a resistance movement.

it's just more divide and conquer.
The faux left are all in their silos criticizing each other over trivia and intersectional crimes of language
while the real acts of racism, i.e. the bombing, the sanctions, the razing of infrastructure for empire etc carries on as usual.
Meanwhile the capitalist scumbags are giving lip service to BLM which costs them nothing.
We are being made fools of. This is really a class war not a racist war.

This video is from the World Economic Forum.

They are not hiding that huge changes are on the cards and have clearly been planned. They are calling it The Great Reset. The trouble is that it is promoted by the same crooks who brought us all the previous previous wars, concentration of wealth and all the other chaos.

Central to their narrative is the myth of the Covid-19 virus as if it was a threat when it was no more deadly than the flu.
