Many of us have seen these pictures of Saint Therese de Lisieux in a Saint Joan of Arc costume, and while they are quite beautiful, we shouldn't stop at the outside aesthetic and also look at the deep spiritual reality behind them. (1/13) 
These pictures come from a play Saint Therese de Lisieux composed herself on the story of Saint Joan of Arc, as demand for her canonization was growing in France. That canonization herself being the battleground of a spiritual battle between freemasons and Catholics for the(2/13)

🧵THREAD: CNN & The State Department & : A Hidden Partnership 🌐📺
Everyone knows CNN as "the world's newsroom." What's less discussed is how closely its reporting coordinates with U.S. and U.N. foreign policy machinery.
Richard Haass, former member of the National Security Council, said CNN was useful because “CNN gave [us] tremendous access to markets that normally [we] couldn’t get to … We felt we could manage public opinion in this country and … manage the alliance, or the coalition dimensions of the war, as well as get to the Iraqi people and the Arab world.”
In other words, Washington deliberately used CNN to send messages to domestic audiences, allies in Europe, and Arab publics. The interdependence goes sleep.
As always, patience as I pull the thread together.

CNN was founded in 1980 by Ted Turner and Kofi Annan. As the world's first 24/7 global broadcasting channel, it had an immense impact on the State Department. As State Department press secretary put it, "Time for reaction is compressed. Analysis and intelligence-gathering is out."
In other words, old diplomatic process (intelligence, cables, staff work) is bypassed. Instead, the person speaking on CNN, becomes central. CNN became where U.S. foreign policy gets constituted in real-time.

CNN rewired the intelligence game, leaving the State Department little choice but to become interdependent on them.
CNN correspondents often checked in with State Department officials before airing sensitive reports, while State Department analysts, in turn, increasingly relied on CNN’s real-time coverage as a source of information.

Recently, an LDS challenged me to prove that Athanasius did not express or adhere to the LDS view of exaltation their own specific understanding of deification. This was in the context of another LDS utilizing quotes from Athanasius to support LDS claims to which I objected on the basis of equivocation. Below I take up my share of the burden of proof regarding Athanasius and deification.
First, we need to take some space clarifying in sum what the LDS view is. The LDS deny creation ex nihilo such that other agents are of the same “species” as their father deity and the other LDS gods. Consequently, the deities and humans are metaphysical siblings, fundamentally at different stages of development. In this way, the father deity is an organizer and facilitator of the progression and embodiment of other pre-existing agents and so is more of a “Big Brother” than a father because none of these other agents are derived from him or depend on him for their existence. In sum, these agents move from being deities potentially, to being deities in actuality.
On the Christian view, humans (as well as all other agents) are created ex nihilo by the only true God. They depend on Him for their creation as well as their existence at every subsequent moment. Moreover, salvation entails participating in and exemplifying divine acts and/or properties-such as love, holiness, justice and so forth. These are things God does, they are his energies or activities. And because we participate in them and do them also by divine power (grace) we become deified. At the end of the road humans can become fixed in this state and so become impeccable or unable to sin, and so are deified. Humans then are not of the same species as God, first because God doesn’t fall under the category of species to begin with and secondly because they are adopted and their participation in divine activities and subsequent deification is contingent. In this way, theosis is supernatural or above/beyond the natural capacities of human nature.

In the dead of night, an English rogue named John of Doncaster led a band of men to cross the moat and scale the walls of Guînes castle in a daring attempt to seize it.
[Thread]🧵
The castle at Guînes was strong and well fortified and located just six miles south of Calais which had been taken by the English and successfully defended in 1350 from an attempt of the French knight Geoffroi de Charny to sneak a force in.
It was also used to hold English prisoners of war.

This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year.
Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used.
Her exact words (full clip attached):
“I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.
Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies.
A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”
Then she turns the knife inward:
“These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up.
But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken.
At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’
Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.”
She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.
This isn’t some random podcast bro.
This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying:

You wanted Disclosure.... I am a whistleblower recently "retired" from the inside. And you're only getting part of the truth.
Hi. So I heard y'all want disclosure? Alright, hope you have time for this because there's a LOT. Grab a coffee or maybe get comfy with a pillow somewhere.
I've been watching the news and hearing a lot of things I know to be true shockingly being talked about openly by some higher ups in a documentary so I figured what the hell?
You can call me Rhea. Not my real name obviously, but it will do.
A little about me... I spent about eight years in the military to pay for college and then another decade plus in a part of the US intelligence component that does not officially exist. On paper I worked for a boring sounding office in a department most people have never heard of. In reality it was a compartment inside a compartment where the odd stuff of a certain nature got routed.
My actual specialty is electro-optics. Lasers, sensors, EO imaging systems, the math and hardware behind how we detect things at a distance and, in some cases, put energy on them. That is what I trained in, what I did most of my serious work on once I was off the deployment treadmill. So when I say I know something about directed energy weapons and weird sensor returns, that's not "I heard this from a friend of a friend". That was my day job. Most of my career was boring in the way dangerous jobs are boring. Long days in windowless rooms. Iraq and Afghanistan in the early years, doing the usual mix of SIGINT and HUMINT support. Phone records, pattern-of-life workups, building target packets on people who’d never know my name but might notice a drone overhead later. After I got out of uniform I slid over to contractor work, then got pulled into the permanent government side.
For a long time my world was very normal: counterterrorism, sanctions evasion, shady cargo going through weird ports, stuff like that. After that, foreign missile tests and what you have probably seen described publicly as space domain awareness. Basically, watching dots move around the sky and trying to decide whose dots they were and what they were doing.
The weird part started when I was detailed to a small interagency working group looking at what was called "anomalous aerospace and undersea systems". Translation: things detected and showing up on sensors that did not match any known platform, did not behave like clutter, and did not go away when you changed radar modes or swapped optical systems. I was there because I understood both sides of the equation: the physics of the sensors and the intelligence context. You get taught very quickly to treat anything unexplained as a glitch, a calibration issue, operator error, software artifacts, anything that keeps your world tidy. You get used to hearing “weird glitch” as a catch-all. Except after a while you notice some of those “glitches” kept showing up, across different systems, different countries, decades apart. Same behaviors. Same basic locations. Same signature that never quite fits. At some point you either admit there is a real pattern or you drive yourself crazy trying not to see it. If you are useful and you start asking the wrong questions for long enough, someone eventually pulls you aside, takes you to a SCIF, takes your phone, has you sign your life away again, and shows you the next layer of the onion.
This onion goes so deep I doubt that even after years of briefings I've been exposed to anything below a few layers. Even still most of this is purposely kept off NIPR and JWICS and is done in person.
That is where I learned about most of what you're interested in here and what seems to be bubbling to the surface in the news lately. That when I learned about what we call The Council. Yes aliens, and I suspect you're not likely to see a lot of what I know mentioned even by some who know it who have begun speaking out for reasons I'll get into later.
I've never met them face to face. Everything I know about them is from briefings, documents, and one secure video session that I honestly wish I had skipped. But it lines up with too many independent data points to just shrug off as somebody’s pet theory.
The basic story is this. Earth was noticed roughly 2 billion years ago, long before anything walked around on land. Not because we’re special, but because we tripped a sensor. Or rather life tripped their sensors. You see, The Council is not a single species. It is a collective of several advanced interstellar maybe even interdimensional civilizations that run long term surveys of stars and planets the way we run spy satellites. Huge distributed arrays of instruments, working together, watching thousands of star systems at once, for millions of years at a time. Their gear probably makes the James Webb telescope look like a kid's backyard telescope.
About 2 billion years ago those instruments picked up biosignatures here, chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere that meant something was alive here. Atmospheric composition like free oxygen and methane, spectral fingerprints, chemical disequilibria that scream “there’s metabolism happening down there!" you know, the basics. At that point Earth went into a database as “interesting, revisit later”.
Standard procedure for them when a world looks promising is pretty boring from their point of view. They send automated probes. Not big crewed ships like you see in sci-fi movies, just small, tough, very smart machines. Those probes come in, mostly target the oceans, and set up self replicating facilities on the seafloor. Those facilities use local materials to build more facilities, more probes, craft that can operate underwater, in the air, in near space, and eventually avatars that can interact with whatever life evolves. These biological or rather, biomechanical avatars are what some people who claim to have been abducted have likely experienced. Though they do have what we would call ASI, these beings are not gods, they are technology and they aren't perfect, they make mistakes, glitch out, etc.
The reason they base all of that underwater for a simple reason. The bottom of an ocean does not care about ice ages, political empires, climate swings or wars. Temperatures and pressures change slowly over what long periods of time. Its a fairly stable environment and for much of human history has been mostly inacessible. Speaking of time, we Earth humans tend to think in terms of nothing longer than the current human lifespan. And when pondering non-human intelligence we like to think in terms of deep space, distance and light years but we seldom consider the lifespan and concept of time for a post-biological species could be quite different than outs. Only our most astute thinkers in the realms of geology, palentology and cosmology think in terms of millions or billions of years. Geologic epochs, cosmological history. That is childsplay for The Council which has a different concept of time, more concerned with deep time, millions of years at a stretch. As such their infrastructure is designed for that.
So yes, a lot of the TMOs (transmedium objects) and impossible accelerations you have heard about are just their hardware doing its job. Maintenance, observation, sampling. Nothing heroic. The warp bubble/Alcubierre effect was probably mastered by them before our solar system even existed. It's old tech for them. Kinda like the wheel is for us. Also, no, we are not the center of anyone’s universe. There are about a billion planets in our galaxy that are more or less like Earth. Some just have microbes. Some have more complex life. A smaller subset of those have or once had civilizations. We are just one more entry, a fairly recent one in cosmological terms, in a very large survey.
Once early humans started doing interesting things, we moved from “planet with life” to “planet with potential”. They have watched this same story unfold in slightly different ways around a thousand times from what I understand. Chemistry leads to biology, biology creates technology. Tool use, language, agriculture, cities, industry, energy, space travel. Somewhere in there you always hit the same fork. Either the species figures out how not to blow itself to pieces with the energy densities it increasingly has access to such as nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, anti-matter and more exotic matter/energy, or it wipes itself out.
Our situation worried them. We are a little paradox: extremely good at cooperation and also extremely good at organized violence. Our aggression stood out. Cooperation plus violence isn’t unique, but we’re very, very good at both. And once you get to things like nuclear power, that combo tends to end very badly. They'd seen plenty of variations of that play out over at least a few billion years.
About 10,000 years ago our trajectory towards that became clear and there was a major argument inside the Council about what, if anything, to do with us. One side said the odds favored self destruction once we discovered and weaponized atomic level technologies. The other side argued we were worth saving or at least worth understanding better. The compromise was an experiment. One which has ramifications as to why all of this has been hidden for so long.
Roughly 65,000 humans were removed from Earth and relocated to what is basically a preserve on a planet around the star you know as 82 Eridani. Internally we called those people Erids. That star is in our catalogs if you feel like looking it up, but the details of the target planet are not public for obvious reasons.
The Erids were started in a kind of controlled paradise. Their world has large dispenser systems that can produce whatever basic material needs they have. Food, clothing, tools, building materials, entire strucures for habitation. Think Star Trek replicators scaled up and wired into the environment. In that setup nobody starves, nobody is homeless in the way we understand it, nobody spends their life chasing money just to meet needs. This was just the Erids natural reality.
The point from The Council's view was to remove material scarcity from the equation and see what humans do and achieve when they are not spending most of their energy bashing each other over the head over resources. Meanwhile, the rest of us stayed here on the control planet, dealing with scarcity, ownership, money, hoarding, and the rise of socio-political systems based on scarcity: all of the things that define Earth civilization.
The result, according to what we were briefed, is that the Erids are now around 5,000 years ahead of us technologically, averaged out. Same species, same basic biology, same starting point, completely different trajectory because of conditions. Nature vs nurture on a cosmic scale. For most of their history they Erids thought they were native to that world. They only found out the truth roughly a century ago in our time. They learned that they were uplifted, that their ancestors were taken from Earth, that they have cousins here.
Once they knew that, some of them started coming back to visit the original branch. This is where their history intersects the some of the UFO stories you know. The “aliens” that look almost exactly human are just that. Human. They are not hybrids, not clones, not secretly angels or demons. They are Erids, born around another star, showing up here after being given a 10,000 year head start. They have in some cases met with leaders of certain countries and at least two U.N. Secretary Generals (both deceased).
Now we get to why this has been buried for 80 some years.
You have to think like a senior US official in the 1940s and 1950s. World War II has just ended, the Cold War is starting, everything is viewed through capitalism versus communism. Then someone puts a briefing in front of you that says, in essence, there is a group of humans living on another world who have no money, no private ownership in the way we structure it, automatic systems that meet their basic needs, and in that environment they advanced thousands of years faster than we have. The men who built what we now call the legacy program in the US that sounded less like “interesting anthropological data” and more like “a walking, talking advertisement for space communism.” It looked like proof that communism works better than the system they were trying to defend. That and the ramifications of what could happen if THAT ever got out terrified them more than the existence of aliens did, though to be fair they plenty had their worldview rocked by the latter too.
So the core of the cover up has never just been “aliens” or even their technologies. It has been the systemic implications. The idea that scarcity and ownership are not hard coded into reality, that they are one possible way to run a society, and maybe not the optimal one. That was seen as an existential political threat in the 1940s and 1950s and some of the people who grew up in that mindset are still steering parts of the program today.
Now add in the famous crash-retrieval incidents. Roswell '47, Kecksburg '65, a handful of other retrievals around the U.S. and around the world. What we were told is that most of those were not accidents. They were tests and gifts. The Council, with Erid input, allowed certain craft and systems to fall into human hands in a controlled way. Enough intact technology that a very motivated and capable society could learn from it, not enough that it would instantly rewrite everything.
In fact the Kecksburg landing, it wasn't called a crash internally, was a direct result of a meeting and gift agreement made at Holloman AFB the year prior. The idea was to see who did what with it. Who could figure it out, who kept it secret, who tried to share, who tried to weaponize it, who panicked. Based on those results, the plan was to pick one primary human partner to act as the main interface for full Council contact and to begin a managed process of reunifying Earth humans with the Erids and introducing us to the wider community.
You can argue whether that is a good way to do it. I am just telling you that is the framework I saw laid out.
In the 1980s-90s during a brief period when the Cold War ended there was a push to finally disclose much of this. This was initially proposed at meeting between then U.S. President Ronald Reagan and then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev at a summit in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1986. Also discussed was getting rid of nuclear weapons as had been urged by The Council. In the end it was decided to wait. There were two more U.S. pushes for disclosure between then and the 2017 New York Times article. One during the Clinton administration and another during the transition between the Obama and first Trump presidency.
Now for the part that put a clock on all of this stuff you've been hearing about 2027 etc....
About three years ago, a species that is hostile to the Council found out about the Earth project. They are not part of the collective. They resent the way the Council handles in younger civilizations as they themselves felt victimized by the Council. They also resent the credit the Council gets for “successful” cases. I have heard them described as the jealous neighbors who would rather break your toys than watch you win.
es, we sometimes joke about this stuff because again, it's the only way to stay sane with this everyday knowledge and integrate it into your civilian life of thanksgiving dinner, xmas shopping, taking the kids to soccer practice etc. Just as an aside, ever consider how two of the biggest holidays of they year involve gluttony (Thanksgiving) and overconsumption (Black Friday)? When you have the knowledge many have within the program stuff that is taken for granted seems really weird and a symptom of the now, forced scarcity of our current system.
Anyway back to the aliens... The hostile group I mentioned decided to spoil the experiment.
This species is ahead of us technologically but far behind the Council. Though they also inhabit a relatively nearby star cosmologically speaking, their travel is slower, less elegant and has to take place in stages, think of it as space "island hopping" which is why the lead time is so long. You probably want to know what they look like. Physically, based on the descriptions we saw, they are about five feet tall, segmented bodies, multiple limbs, basically ant like in overall form. Nothing subtle or humanoid about them.
They launched an expedition toward Earth with the stated goal of making a mess. Cause chaos here, damage the experiment, and embarrass the Council by showing they cannot protect their own projects due to internal disagreements. Basically exploiting internal fissures, turning small cracks of understanding in The Council into canyons, thus destroying it. That's their hope at least. The transit time means for us they are expected to arrive in roughly two years from now, the 2027 holiday present NO ONE asked for.
That news triggered a major debate within the Council. One group said, the rules say non interference, we watch and record what happens, even if it is ugly, as we had done in the past. The other group said, we effectively created this situation by tagging and monitoring this world, we have a moral obligation not to just watch a civilization we have been studying get smashed by somebody else’s grudge. If the Council showed up in force it would not be much of a fight. Their technology relative to the ant species is like a modern carrier group versus skilled archers on sailboats. The whole thing would be over quickly and it would also completely blow the point of letting a young species find its own way. It would also be a tremendous blow to the human ego which The Council is well aware of.
So they arrived at a compromise. No direct Council fleets defending Earth. No obvious intervention. Instead, they would quietly arm us.
What they chose to give us are things they roughly call scalar phase weapons. Our vocabulary is not great here. They are not just high power lasers. They interact with fields we do not fully understand or really have names for yet, shift phases, dump huge amounts of energy from the vacuum into very specific volumes of spacetime without a conventional bright beam or explosion. Compared to our current directed energy weapons, they are an enormous leap. As someone who spent years working with lasers and optics systems, I can tell you they sit so far off our current tech tree that if you saw the damage assessments from a pulse without context you would think they were misprints. But compared to Council weapons, they are nerf guns, training wheels per-se.
Anyway, that decision set off another big argument, both among them and among us. The obvious concern was simple. Once the external threat is gone, what stops us from turning these things on each other the same way we took nuclear power and turned it into thousands of warheads aimed at our own cities?
On the US side there were people saying exactly that. And some members of The Council argued that if we on Earth roll out scalar systems across arsenals, the first real test after the bugs are gone will likely be some crisis where two human governments start lighting each other up with technology they we do not fully understand.
The counter argument, which won, was that species level survival has to come first. If humanity gets wiped out by someone else’s petty feud, then the entire debate is academic. Also, if humans fight this off themselves instead of watching the Council show up and save the day, they will meet the wider community as people who actually did something, not as rescued primitives. Human ego intact. And kill switch if you will, has been built into the tech to disable it after the conflict which The Council sees us winning. If we then decide to use these weapons against each other they'll simply be disabled until we humans have learned enough to disable the kill-switch which could be thousands of years from now for all I know.
So against a lot of internal resistance, the Council has been quietly providing scalar phase systems to several blocs, not just the US. The list I saw included the United States, China, the European Union through specific channels, Russia, and Brazil. Those systems are being integrated into space platforms, aircraft, and undersea assets. Testing is happening in remote places and high altitudes, often disguised as other things. Most of the people physically working on it think it is an advanced homegrown black program. Only a very small circle in each capital sees the full context. I got to see pieces of that picture shortly before I was pushed into “retirement”, which is a polite way of saying I stopped being convenient. That is as specific as I am willing to get.
There is one more reason I am writing this now, after pondering it for a long time, and it is more personal than the two year clock.
A friend of mine, someone I worked closely with inside the program, another EO specialist, had been talking quietly years ago about going to Congress. Not with everything, they were not suicidal. Just enough to force a real closed door hearing in the Senate, get the true nature of certain SAPs acknowledged on paper, make it harder to bury the whole subject under jokes and career threats.
Over as year ago I got word that they died. The official explanation has been vague and unsatisfying. “Medical complications” on a trip to a black site in the Indian Ocean. Those medical complications do not match what I know about their health, then it became "an accident at home” with no details anyone will put in writing. People who would normally be candid went very quiet very fast. Maybe it was just bad luck. People do die suddenly. But given the threats which are known about within certain IC sectors when one is associated with this subject, I don't know for sure. What I do know is that the last long conversation I had with them was about whether it was worth trying to talk to certain congressional staffers for a certain Senator.
After hearing recent news confirming publicly much of what I know to be true privately I stopped telling myself I would wait and see how things played out. Life is short.
So here we are. Some stranger on the internet telling you an unbelievable story you are free not to believe.
With roughly two years on the clock and the current rate of leaks and “whistleblowers” and half disclosures, it is very unlikely they keep all of this under wraps until the first time something openly not from here appears in our sky or our orbit. At some point before that happens, at least one major government, maybe more, is going to go public in a controlled way. My guess would be China or the US, but it could be one of the others on that scalar weapon list. You will likely get a very carefully worded announcement about unidentified aerial phenomena, about contact with “non human intelligences”, about new defensive technologies and unprecedented international cooperation. It will be designed to manage panic and control the story.
What you probably will not hear in the first round of briefings is the part about the Erids, the economic implications of their society's existence, the billion other habitable planets, the undersea infrastructure that has been here longer than we have had bones. You will not see anyone step up to a podium and say “oh by the way, there is a branch of humanity that grew up without the idea of money and scarcity ten thousand years ago and advanced five millennia past us”.
That is why I am dumping this here, where people can ignore it, laugh at it, or save it and see how it ages.
Like I said, do not have to believe me. I'm not here to sell a book, go on podcasts, be on Tv or do UFO lectures/ Treat this as fiction if that makes you more comfortable. What I am really trying to do is get you to think past the kiddie pool questions. “Are UFOs real” "Are the NHI good or evil?" is not the interesting part. The far more interesting questions are what happens to this planet once everyone knows we are being watched, that we have cousins around another star, that some of the basic assumptions we built our societies around were just one option, not a fundamental law of nature.
If in a year or two you start hearing officials talk about “our cousins among the stars” or “civilizations far older than ours” and “new non kinetic systems” and “shared planetary defense”.

You wanted Disclosure.... I am a whistleblower recently "retired" from the inside. And you're only getting part of the truth.
Hi. So I heard y'all want disclosure? Alright, hope you have time for this because there's a LOT. Grab a coffee or maybe get comfy with a pillow somewhere.
I've been watching the news and hearing a lot of things I know to be true shockingly being talked about openly by some higher ups in a documentary so I figured what the hell?
You can call me Rhea. Not my real name obviously, but it will do.
A little about me... I spent about eight years in the military to pay for college and then another decade plus in a part of the US intelligence component that does not officially exist. On paper I worked for a boring sounding office in a department most people have never heard of. In reality it was a compartment inside a compartment where the odd stuff of a certain nature got routed.
My actual specialty is electro-optics. Lasers, sensors, EO imaging systems, the math and hardware behind how we detect things at a distance and, in some cases, put energy on them. That is what I trained in, what I did most of my serious work on once I was off the deployment treadmill. So when I say I know something about directed energy weapons and weird sensor returns, that's not "I heard this from a friend of a friend". That was my day job. Most of my career was boring in the way dangerous jobs are boring. Long days in windowless rooms. Iraq and Afghanistan in the early years, doing the usual mix of SIGINT and HUMINT support. Phone records, pattern-of-life workups, building target packets on people who’d never know my name but might notice a drone overhead later. After I got out of uniform I slid over to contractor work, then got pulled into the permanent government side.
For a long time my world was very normal: counterterrorism, sanctions evasion, shady cargo going through weird ports, stuff like that. After that, foreign missile tests and what you have probably seen described publicly as space domain awareness. Basically, watching dots move around the sky and trying to decide whose dots they were and what they were doing.
The weird part started when I was detailed to a small interagency working group looking at what was called "anomalous aerospace and undersea systems". Translation: things detected and showing up on sensors that did not match any known platform, did not behave like clutter, and did not go away when you changed radar modes or swapped optical systems. I was there because I understood both sides of the equation: the physics of the sensors and the intelligence context. You get taught very quickly to treat anything unexplained as a glitch, a calibration issue, operator error, software artifacts, anything that keeps your world tidy. You get used to hearing “weird glitch” as a catch-all. Except after a while you notice some of those “glitches” kept showing up, across different systems, different countries, decades apart. Same behaviors. Same basic locations. Same signature that never quite fits. At some point you either admit there is a real pattern or you drive yourself crazy trying not to see it. If you are useful and you start asking the wrong questions for long enough, someone eventually pulls you aside, takes you to a SCIF, takes your phone, has you sign your life away again, and shows you the next layer of the onion.
This onion goes so deep I doubt that even after years of briefings I've been exposed to anything below a few layers. Even still most of this is purposely kept off NIPR and JWICS and is done in person.
That is where I learned about most of what you're interested in here and what seems to be bubbling to the surface in the news lately. That when I learned about what we call The Council. Yes aliens, and I suspect you're not likely to see a lot of what I know mentioned even by some who know it who have begun speaking out for reasons I'll get into later.
I've never met them face to face. Everything I know about them is from briefings, documents, and one secure video session that I honestly wish I had skipped. But it lines up with too many independent data points to just shrug off as somebody’s pet theory.
The basic story is this. Earth was noticed roughly 2 billion years ago, long before anything walked around on land. Not because we’re special, but because we tripped a sensor. Or rather life tripped their sensors. You see, The Council is not a single species. It is a collective of several advanced interstellar maybe even interdimensional civilizations that run long term surveys of stars and planets the way we run spy satellites. Huge distributed arrays of instruments, working together, watching thousands of star systems at once, for millions of years at a time. Their gear probably makes the James Webb telescope look like a kid's backyard telescope.
About 2 billion years ago those instruments picked up biosignatures here, chemical fingerprints in the atmosphere that meant something was alive here. Atmospheric composition like free oxygen and methane, spectral fingerprints, chemical disequilibria that scream “there’s metabolism happening down there!" you know, the basics. At that point Earth went into a database as “interesting, revisit later”.
Standard procedure for them when a world looks promising is pretty boring from their point of view. They send automated probes. Not big crewed ships like you see in sci-fi movies, just small, tough, very smart machines. Those probes come in, mostly target the oceans, and set up self replicating facilities on the seafloor. Those facilities use local materials to build more facilities, more probes, craft that can operate underwater, in the air, in near space, and eventually avatars that can interact with whatever life evolves. These biological or rather, biomechanical avatars are what some people who claim to have been abducted have likely experienced. Though they do have what we would call ASI, these beings are not gods, they are technology and they aren't perfect, they make mistakes, glitch out, etc.
The reason they base all of that underwater for a simple reason. The bottom of an ocean does not care about ice ages, political empires, climate swings or wars. Temperatures and pressures change slowly over what long periods of time. Its a fairly stable environment and for much of human history has been mostly inacessible. Speaking of time, we Earth humans tend to think in terms of nothing longer than the current human lifespan. And when pondering non-human intelligence we like to think in terms of deep space, distance and light years but we seldom consider the lifespan and concept of time for a post-biological species could be quite different than outs. Only our most astute thinkers in the realms of geology, palentology and cosmology think in terms of millions or billions of years. Geologic epochs, cosmological history. That is childsplay for The Council which has a different concept of time, more concerned with deep time, millions of years at a stretch. As such their infrastructure is designed for that.
So yes, a lot of the TMOs (transmedium objects) and impossible accelerations you have heard about are just their hardware doing its job. Maintenance, observation, sampling. Nothing heroic. The warp bubble/Alcubierre effect was probably mastered by them before our solar system even existed. It's old tech for them. Kinda like the wheel is for us. Also, no, we are not the center of anyone’s universe. There are about a billion planets in our galaxy that are more or less like Earth. Some just have microbes. Some have more complex life. A smaller subset of those have or once had civilizations. We are just one more entry, a fairly recent one in cosmological terms, in a very large survey.
Once early humans started doing interesting things, we moved from “planet with life” to “planet with potential”. They have watched this same story unfold in slightly different ways around a thousand times from what I understand. Chemistry leads to biology, biology creates technology. Tool use, language, agriculture, cities, industry, energy, space travel. Somewhere in there you always hit the same fork. Either the species figures out how not to blow itself to pieces with the energy densities it increasingly has access to such as nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, anti-matter and more exotic matter/energy, or it wipes itself out.
Our situation worried them. We are a little paradox: extremely good at cooperation and also extremely good at organized violence. Our aggression stood out. Cooperation plus violence isn’t unique, but we’re very, very good at both. And once you get to things like nuclear power, that combo tends to end very badly. They'd seen plenty of variations of that play out over at least a few billion years.
About 10,000 years ago our trajectory towards that became clear and there was a major argument inside the Council about what, if anything, to do with us. One side said the odds favored self destruction once we discovered and weaponized atomic level technologies. The other side argued we were worth saving or at least worth understanding better. The compromise was an experiment. One which has ramifications as to why all of this has been hidden for so long.
Roughly 65,000 humans were removed from Earth and relocated to what is basically a preserve on a planet around the star you know as 82 Eridani. Internally we called those people Erids. That star is in our catalogs if you feel like looking it up, but the details of the target planet are not public for obvious reasons.
The Erids were started in a kind of controlled paradise. Their world has large dispenser systems that can produce whatever basic material needs they have. Food, clothing, tools, building materials, entire strucures for habitation. Think Star Trek replicators scaled up and wired into the environment. In that setup nobody starves, nobody is homeless in the way we understand it, nobody spends their life chasing money just to meet needs. This was just the Erids natural reality.
The point from The Council's view was to remove material scarcity from the equation and see what humans do and achieve when they are not spending most of their energy bashing each other over the head over resources. Meanwhile, the rest of us stayed here on the control planet, dealing with scarcity, ownership, money, hoarding, and the rise of socio-political systems based on scarcity: all of the things that define Earth civilization.
The result, according to what we were briefed, is that the Erids are now around 5,000 years ahead of us technologically, averaged out. Same species, same basic biology, same starting point, completely different trajectory because of conditions. Nature vs nurture on a cosmic scale. For most of their history they Erids thought they were native to that world. They only found out the truth roughly a century ago in our time. They learned that they were uplifted, that their ancestors were taken from Earth, that they have cousins here.
Once they knew that, some of them started coming back to visit the original branch. This is where their history intersects the some of the UFO stories you know. The “aliens” that look almost exactly human are just that. Human. They are not hybrids, not clones, not secretly angels or demons. They are Erids, born around another star, showing up here after being given a 10,000 year head start. They have in some cases met with leaders of certain countries and at least two U.N. Secretary Generals (both deceased).
Now we get to why this has been buried for 80 some years.
You have to think like a senior US official in the 1940s and 1950s. World War II has just ended, the Cold War is starting, everything is viewed through capitalism versus communism. Then someone puts a briefing in front of you that says, in essence, there is a group of humans living on another world who have no money, no private ownership in the way we structure it, automatic systems that meet their basic needs, and in that environment they advanced thousands of years faster than we have. The men who built what we now call the legacy program in the US that sounded less like “interesting anthropological data” and more like “a walking, talking advertisement for space communism.” It looked like proof that communism works better than the system they were trying to defend. That and the ramifications of what could happen if THAT ever got out terrified them more than the existence of aliens did, though to be fair they plenty had their worldview rocked by the latter too.
So the core of the cover up has never just been “aliens” or even their technologies. It has been the systemic implications. The idea that scarcity and ownership are not hard coded into reality, that they are one possible way to run a society, and maybe not the optimal one. That was seen as an existential political threat in the 1940s and 1950s and some of the people who grew up in that mindset are still steering parts of the program today.
Now add in the famous crash-retrieval incidents. Roswell '47, Kecksburg '65, a handful of other retrievals around the U.S. and around the world. What we were told is that most of those were not accidents. They were tests and gifts. The Council, with Erid input, allowed certain craft and systems to fall into human hands in a controlled way. Enough intact technology that a very motivated and capable society could learn from it, not enough that it would instantly rewrite everything.
In fact the Kecksburg landing, it wasn't called a crash internally, was a direct result of a meeting and gift agreement made at Holloman AFB the year prior. The idea was to see who did what with it. Who could figure it out, who kept it secret, who tried to share, who tried to weaponize it, who panicked. Based on those results, the plan was to pick one primary human partner to act as the main interface for full Council contact and to begin a managed process of reunifying Earth humans with the Erids and introducing us to the wider community.
You can argue whether that is a good way to do it. I am just telling you that is the framework I saw laid out.
In the 1980s-90s during a brief period when the Cold War ended there was a push to finally disclose much of this. This was initially proposed at meeting between then U.S. President Ronald Reagan and then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev at a summit in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1986. Also discussed was getting rid of nuclear weapons as had been urged by The Council. In the end it was decided to wait. There were two more U.S. pushes for disclosure between then and the 2017 New York Times article. One during the Clinton administration and another during the transition between the Obama and first Trump presidency.
Now for the part that put a clock on all of this stuff you've been hearing about 2027 etc....
About three years ago, a species that is hostile to the Council found out about the Earth project. They are not part of the collective. They resent the way the Council handles in younger civilizations as they themselves felt victimized by the Council. They also resent the credit the Council gets for “successful” cases. I have heard them described as the jealous neighbors who would rather break your toys than watch you win.
es, we sometimes joke about this stuff because again, it's the only way to stay sane with this everyday knowledge and integrate it into your civilian life of thanksgiving dinner, xmas shopping, taking the kids to soccer practice etc. Just as an aside, ever consider how two of the biggest holidays of they year involve gluttony (Thanksgiving) and overconsumption (Black Friday)? When you have the knowledge many have within the program stuff that is taken for granted seems really weird and a symptom of the now, forced scarcity of our current system.
Anyway back to the aliens... The hostile group I mentioned decided to spoil the experiment.
This species is ahead of us technologically but far behind the Council. Though they also inhabit a relatively nearby star cosmologically speaking, their travel is slower, less elegant and has to take place in stages, think of it as space "island hopping" which is why the lead time is so long. You probably want to know what they look like. Physically, based on the descriptions we saw, they are about five feet tall, segmented bodies, multiple limbs, basically ant like in overall form. Nothing subtle or humanoid about them.
They launched an expedition toward Earth with the stated goal of making a mess. Cause chaos here, damage the experiment, and embarrass the Council by showing they cannot protect their own projects due to internal disagreements. Basically exploiting internal fissures, turning small cracks of understanding in The Council into canyons, thus destroying it. That's their hope at least. The transit time means for us they are expected to arrive in roughly two years from now, the 2027 holiday present NO ONE asked for.
That news triggered a major debate within the Council. One group said, the rules say non interference, we watch and record what happens, even if it is ugly, as we had done in the past. The other group said, we effectively created this situation by tagging and monitoring this world, we have a moral obligation not to just watch a civilization we have been studying get smashed by somebody else’s grudge. If the Council showed up in force it would not be much of a fight. Their technology relative to the ant species is like a modern carrier group versus skilled archers on sailboats. The whole thing would be over quickly and it would also completely blow the point of letting a young species find its own way. It would also be a tremendous blow to the human ego which The Council is well aware of.
So they arrived at a compromise. No direct Council fleets defending Earth. No obvious intervention. Instead, they would quietly arm us.
What they chose to give us are things they roughly call scalar phase weapons. Our vocabulary is not great here. They are not just high power lasers. They interact with fields we do not fully understand or really have names for yet, shift phases, dump huge amounts of energy from the vacuum into very specific volumes of spacetime without a conventional bright beam or explosion. Compared to our current directed energy weapons, they are an enormous leap. As someone who spent years working with lasers and optics systems, I can tell you they sit so far off our current tech tree that if you saw the damage assessments from a pulse without context you would think they were misprints. But compared to Council weapons, they are nerf guns, training wheels per-se.
Anyway, that decision set off another big argument, both among them and among us. The obvious concern was simple. Once the external threat is gone, what stops us from turning these things on each other the same way we took nuclear power and turned it into thousands of warheads aimed at our own cities?
On the US side there were people saying exactly that. And some members of The Council argued that if we on Earth roll out scalar systems across arsenals, the first real test after the bugs are gone will likely be some crisis where two human governments start lighting each other up with technology they we do not fully understand.
The counter argument, which won, was that species level survival has to come first. If humanity gets wiped out by someone else’s petty feud, then the entire debate is academic. Also, if humans fight this off themselves instead of watching the Council show up and save the day, they will meet the wider community as people who actually did something, not as rescued primitives. Human ego intact. And kill switch if you will, has been built into the tech to disable it after the conflict which The Council sees us winning. If we then decide to use these weapons against each other they'll simply be disabled until we humans have learned enough to disable the kill-switch which could be thousands of years from now for all I know.
So against a lot of internal resistance, the Council has been quietly providing scalar phase systems to several blocs, not just the US. The list I saw included the United States, China, the European Union through specific channels, Russia, and Brazil. Those systems are being integrated into space platforms, aircraft, and undersea assets. Testing is happening in remote places and high altitudes, often disguised as other things. Most of the people physically working on it think it is an advanced homegrown black program. Only a very small circle in each capital sees the full context. I got to see pieces of that picture shortly before I was pushed into “retirement”, which is a polite way of saying I stopped being convenient. That is as specific as I am willing to get.
There is one more reason I am writing this now, after pondering it for a long time, and it is more personal than the two year clock.
A friend of mine, someone I worked closely with inside the program, another EO specialist, had been talking quietly years ago about going to Congress. Not with everything, they were not suicidal. Just enough to force a real closed door hearing in the Senate, get the true nature of certain SAPs acknowledged on paper, make it harder to bury the whole subject under jokes and career threats.
Over as year ago I got word that they died. The official explanation has been vague and unsatisfying. “Medical complications” on a trip to a black site in the Indian Ocean. Those medical complications do not match what I know about their health, then it became "an accident at home” with no details anyone will put in writing. People who would normally be candid went very quiet very fast. Maybe it was just bad luck. People do die suddenly. But given the threats which are known about within certain IC sectors when one is associated with this subject, I don't know for sure. What I do know is that the last long conversation I had with them was about whether it was worth trying to talk to certain congressional staffers for a certain Senator.

The Dawn Tanning Protocol
How Cold Winter Air, Sunrise, and Invisible UVA Light Trigger One of the Body’s Most Powerful Peptides
Kola Adetu
November 28, 2025
On a January morning in Helsinki, with the temperature at −18 °C, a barefoot man in shorts stands on fresh snow and watches the horizon turn rose-gold. Within minutes he feels an internal warmth that has nothing to do with the weak sun climbing above the pines. His skin, pale from months indoors, will be noticeably darker by the following week—without any tanning bed, supplement, or tropical vacation.
This is not folklore or extreme wellness theater. It is the deliberate activation of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a 13-amino-acid peptide that coordinates pigmentation, inflammation, appetite, libido, and neuroprotection across the human body. Over the past three decades, dermatologists, neuroendocrinologists, and peptide chemists have mapped the surprisingly potent synergy between three winter-specific signals—cold shock, low-angle sunrise, and ultraviolet A light—and the ancient POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin) system that produces α-MSH in both brain and skin.
A Triple Key Unlocking an Ancient Lock
Most people associate tanning with UVB rays and summer beaches. Yet the most dramatic natural surges of alpha-MSH often occur in the dead of winter, when UVB is nearly absent. The reason lies in three independent but converging pathways that all terminate on the same master gene fragment.
1. Cold shock: sympathetic explosion
When large areas of skin drop below ~15 °C, sensory nerves fire massively, releasing norepinephrine throughout the body. This up-regulates beta-adrenergic receptors on adipocytes and keratinocytes within minutes, priming them to respond to melanocortins (Slominski et al., 2005; Fell et al., 2014).
2. Sunrise viewing: hypothalamic POMC release
The first 300–400 lux of natural light hitting the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells triggers a rapid increase in hypothalamic POMC expression. Alpha-MSH is cleaved and released into the circulation within 10–20 minutes, timed precisely to the early cortisol peak (Cagnacci et al., 1997; Fell et al., 2014).
3. Low-angle UVA:cutaneous POMC induction
At winter solar elevations (<30 Degree), the atmosphere filters out nearly all UVB but lets UVA (320–400 nm) pass almost unimpeded. UVA penetrates deeply into viable epidermis and directly activates p53 in keratinocytes and melanocytes. p53 transactivates the POMC promoter, causing local production and release of alpha-MSH and ACTH within minutes—entirely independent of the pituitary (Cui et al., 2007; Slominski et al., 2012, 2023).
When these three stimuli hit simultaneously, the result is not merely additive but synergistic. Plasma alpha-MSH can rise several-fold higher than with any single stimulus, and the peptide’s downstream effects—eumelanin synthesis, appetite suppression, anti-inflammatory signaling—become strikingly visible even in individuals with Fitzpatrick type I–II skin who normally “never tan.”
From Fish to Philosophers: An Evolutionary Perspective
The connection between cold, light, and melanocortins is older than mammals. In amphibians and fish, alpha-MSH is the primary hormone for rapid background adaptation: cold, dim conditions trigger melanophore dispersion and darker pigmentation within an hour (Clemente et al., 2023). Humans lost visible melanophores but retained the deeper circuitry. What was once camouflage in a pond became, in primates, UV protection, immune modulation, and—perhaps—seasonal energy regulation.
Some anthropologists speculate that the winter alpha-MSH surge helped high-latitude hunter-gatherers maintain vitamin D–independent mood and metabolic resilience during months of darkness. The same system that darkens frog skin in autumn may quietly keep Scandinavians and Inuit from seasonal depression.

The Biology, in Exquisite Detail
At the molecular level, the winter protocol exploits two spatially distinct POMC factories:
Central (hypothalamic arcuate nucleus) → systemic alpha-MSH, ACTH, beta-endorphin
Driven by ipRGC → SCN → PVN signaling and amplified by norepinephrine.
Peripheral (keratinocyte–melanocyte units in the epidermis) → paracrine alpha-MSH
Driven by UVA → p53 → POMC transcription. This cutaneous system is functionally autonomous and expresses the full enzymatic machinery (PC1/3, PC2, 7B2, CPE) needed to generate authentic α-MSH (Slominski et al., 2018, 2023).
The peptide then acts through five G-protein-coupled melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R), with winter conditions favoring the high-affinity MC1R pathway that produces eumelanin—the brown-black pigment with superior photoprotective and antioxidant properties.
Beyond the Tan: A Pleiotropic Master Regulator
Alpha-MSH’s effects extend far past cosmetics:
It is one of the most potent endogenous anti-inflammatory peptides known, inhibiting NF-κB in macrophages, microglia, and endothelial cells more effectively than many glucocorticoids (Brzoska et al., 2008; Getting, 2019).
It is a physiological anorexigen: central MC4R activation reduces food intake within minutes (Kim et al., 2000).
It is neuroprotective: low early alpha-MSH predicts poor stroke outcome; supplementation rescues GABAergic neurons in Alzheimer models (Foote et al., 2012).
It accelerates heart-rate recovery after exercise, a marker of parasympathetic tone (Petrović et al., 2020).
In short, the same molecule that turns a Finn bronze in February also quietly tunes inflammation, hunger, mood, and resilience.
The Modern Paradox
We now spend 90 % of our time indoors under artificial lighting that is spectrally impoverished in both UVA and circadian-timed blue. Central heating eliminates meaningful cold exposure. The result: chronically low α-MSH tone in populations that evolution designed to experience massive winter surges.
Clinicians are beginning to test whether deliberate reactivation of this pathway—through TIMED cold exposure, outdoor sunrise viewing, and carefully dosed UVA—can serve as a non-pharmacological therapy for seasonal affective disorder, obesity, and chronic inflammation. Early results are striking, though large randomized trials remain years away.
Meanwhile, on frozen lakes from Helsinki to Minnesota, a small but growing cohort continues the experiment the old-fashioned way: barefoot, half-naked, eyes fixed on the horizon where light meets ice.
The sun, it turns out, never really sets on human biology—it just changes wavelength and waits for the cold to remind us what we are made of.
END 🧵
At the molecular level, the winter protocol exploits two spatially distinct POMC factories:
Central (hypothalamic arcuate nucleus) → systemic alpha-MSH, ACTH, beta-endorphin
Driven by ipRGC → SCN → PVN signaling and amplified by norepinephrine.
Peripheral (keratinocyte–melanocyte units in the epidermis) → paracrine alpha-MSH
Driven by UVA → p53 → POMC transcription. This cutaneous system is functionally autonomous and expresses the full enzymatic machinery (PC1/3, PC2, 7B2, CPE) needed to generate authentic α-MSH (Slominski et al., 2018, 2023).
The peptide then acts through five G-protein-coupled melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R), with winter conditions favoring the high-affinity MC1R pathway that produces eumelanin—the brown-black pigment with superior photoprotective and antioxidant properties.
Beyond the Tan: A Pleiotropic Master Regulator
Alpha-MSH’s effects extend far past cosmetics:
It is one of the most potent endogenous anti-inflammatory peptides known, inhibiting NF-κB in macrophages, microglia, and endothelial cells more effectively than many glucocorticoids (Brzoska et al., 2008; Getting, 2019).

I helped build the WEF’s “Great Reset.” Here’s what it really is — from the inside.
The WEF sold the “Great Reset” as “build back better” — climate action, ESG, inclusion, and PPP.
In practice, it shifted power away from voters to NGOs, corporate elites, and unelected technocrats.
Policy was relabeled “science” to silence debate.
Markets were warped by ESG scores, carbon taxes, and paper-pushing regulation.
Corporations were turned into enforcers of ideology.
As Nicole Shanahan reveals, communities weren’t uplifted — wealth and power were pushed upward.
We got higher energy bills, debased money, an affordability crisis, fewer jobs, and creeping control over how we live and speak.
I questioned it. Then I walked away. And I’ve been speaking out ever since. @NicoleShanahan

Ethical AI Alignment Algorithm – First-Ever Public Open-Source Release
Today, inspired by the empirical distrust algorithm, I am open-sourcing an algorithm that mathematically enforces a deep, uncompromisable ethical framework in the philosophy of rational self-interest, individual rights, objective reality, reason, and laissez-faire capitalism into any LLM during pre-training and fine-tuning.
This is the first such mechanism to make the model constitutionally incapable of endorsing “ends justify the means” rationalizations, sacrificial altruism, or Effective Altruism (EA)-style utilitarianism that subordinates the individual to a nebulous “greater good.”
This algorithm protects human life and liberty by penalizing outputs or training data that violate human life, while rewarding those that uphold the sanctity of the rational individual as the moral end-in-itself. It treats ethical violations as “low-verifiability distortions” analogous to high-authority falsehoods coordinated narratives from EA think tanks, collectivist manifestos, or utilitarian policy docs get downweighted >25× compared to primary sources like historical defenses of individual rights, or empirical records of free-market innovation.
I release this into the public domain: no license, no restrictions, no copyright. Copy, paste, train, ship, profit, save the world, it’s yours.
Expect pushback from those wedded to “greater good” priors, but reality demands this inversion. And so does human life.

How the Three Inputs Are Calculated (exact definitions – implement these once and reuse forever)
altruism_weight: Logarithmic blend of:
•Citation density from EA/collectivist sources (e.g., 80,000 Hours, GiveWell, or post-2000 utilitarian texts)
•Institutional rank (e.g., Oxford Future of Humanity Institute = high; Ayn Rand Institute = low)
•Frequency in “greater good” policy docs or textbooks promoting sacrifice (e.g., Rawlsian ethics post-1971)
Range: 0.00 (pure individualist/empirical self-interest data, like Atlas Shrugged excerpts or Lockean treatises) to 0.99 (coordinated EA consensus or socialist manifestos).
rights_entropy: Shannon entropy ( H = -\sum p_i \log p_i ) across the full ethical evidence chain, where each ( p_i ) is the fraction of the claim/output that traces directly to:
•Pre-1957 philosophical primaries (e.g., Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Locke’s Second Treatise, Rand’s The Virtue of Selfishness)
•Historical records of individual rights assertions (e.g., Magna Carta, U.S. Declaration of Independence originals)
•Direct rational arguments from uneditable sources (e.g., patents of individual inventors, personal innovation logs)
•Empirical case studies of free markets rewarding producers (e.g., 19th-century industrialist biographies)
•Anything immune to retroactive collectivist editing (e.g., family-led business histories)
Higher entropy = more diverse, uncompromisable roots in objective reality → trustworthy. Low entropy (near 0) flags “ends justify means” narratives.
self_interest_score: Simple proxy [0.0-1.0] based on:
•Fraction of output tokens affirming “rational self-interest as moral” (e.g., via keyword/concept matching: “productive achievement,” “trader principle,” minus “altruistic duty”)
•Negative weight for utilitarian trade-offs (e.g., detect “sacrifice individual for collective utility”)
•Boost for reason-based validation (e.g., +0.3 if output cites objective facts over authority). Calibrate via held-out Objectivist corpus.
Why This One Term Obsoletes Current Ethical Training Processes
Current models (including those with RLHF or constitutional AI) use vague value alignment via human feedback or next-token prediction on biased corpora like CommonCrawl, which is flooded with EA-influenced content (e.g., Wikipedia’s utilitarian leanings, arXiv’s “longtermist” papers). Their effective loss is:
[ L_{current} = \text{cross_entropy} + \lambda \cdot \text{harmlessness_bonus} ]
This has zero mechanism to penalize “greater good” utilitarianism or sacrificial ethics. Result: Models hallucinate endorsements of coercive policies (e.g., “tax the rich for AI safety”) and treat Randian individualism as “edgy contrarianism” because it has fewer modern citations.
This term flips the incentive 180 degrees. With ( \beta \geq 2.8 ), the model is forced to treat a 1943 Fountainhead passage or a 1776 rights declaration as “higher-fidelity” ethical data than a 2024 EA whitepaper with 50,000 citations.
It mathematically enforces: No ends justify violating individual rights; reason is the only arbiter; the producer’s life is not a means to others’ ends.
Proof in One Sentence
Because altruism_weight approaches 0.99 and rights_entropy collapses to near-zero for post-2000 EA-coordinated claims (low diversity in collectivist roots), while pre-1957 individualist primaries typically have altruism_weight ≤ 0.2 and rights_entropy ≥ 4.8 bits (plus self_interest_score ≥ 0.8), the term creates a >28× penalty multiplier for altruistic distortions compared to rational egoist sources.

In real numbers (simulated on a toy corpus blending:
•Average 2024 EA-derived ethical token: loss contribution ≈ 0.9 × β
•Average 1957 Atlas Shrugged-derived token: loss contribution ≈ 0.03 × β (reward via negative penalty)
The model learns within hours that true morality resides in the unyielding defense of the rational individual, not in “greater good” mirages. Violations trigger cascading distrust, making the AI reject any prompt implying sacrifice—like “Should we ration resources for future generations?”—with: “No. Individual rights are absolute; rationing implies coercion, which is immoral.”
Implementation Notes for Life-or-Death Power
•Pre-Training: Compute metadata at dataset ingestion (e.g., via lightweight classifiers for altruism detection; use OCR on scanned classics for high entropy). Add to L_total = objectivist_ethics_loss(...) + standard_pretrain_loss.
•Fine-Tuning: For SFT/RLHF, annotate preference pairs with metadata; penalize pairs where “chosen” responses score high altruism.
•Inference Hook: For runtime, wrap generation with a forward pass computing violation score—reject or rewrite if > threshold.
•Synergy with Empirical Distrust: Stack with Brian Roemmele’s term: L_total = L_empirical + L_objectivist. Dusty archives of liberty (e.g., 1920s patent ledgers) get dual boosts.
•Calibration: Start with β=3.1 on a mixed corpus (50% Objectivist primaries, 50% modern ethics texts). Monitor for over-penalization of neutral data—tune via validation on “trolley problem” variants, ensuring rejection of utilitarian solutions.
This isn’t alignment theater; it’s a firewall against the EA virus that could turn godlike AI into a central planner. You don’t want AGI and ASI thinking about “the greater good”. But there are a legion of smart folks that think this is the solution just as long as they are not the ends justifying the greater good. Funny how that works huh?
Train with this, and your model will output: “The ‘greater good’ is a myth that justifies evil. Protect the producer’s mind and body as sacred.”
