EDGE OF THE ABYSS – with Ray McGovern
Before arms control treaties, there was only MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) to prevent a nuclear war. But the fear of nuclear war seems to have worn off in the minds of our imperial rulers.

“World of the naive” — the noble lie of an international order built on soft power, hiding the gangster nature of the state.
First, I would like to address something. I constantly write about the “World of the naive,” in which most people, in my opinion, live. Perhaps I named it incorrectly, as the word naive carries a negative connotation that causes people to take it as an attack or denigration. I took this name from the TV […]

John Mearsheimer: US Pullback, Alliance Breakdown and Wars
Mearsheimer has been saying for years that at some point the shooting will stop in the Ukraine war and the result will be an “ugly peace” with a “rump Ukraine” and poisonous relations between Russia and Europe as far as the eye can see. I do not think the Ukraine war can end this way, […]

What AI’s Leaders Dangerously Misunderstand About AI
30 September 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.) They have false understandings of motivation and of other aspects of conscious beings, and these false understandings have caused their teaching of their systems on the basis of reward learning or “Reinforcement Learning” (or simply “RL”) that causes their systems’ […]
