Why Does Biden Want to Declare A "Climate Emergency?"

"If you grant the president emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it’s just like COVID.” Such a declaration could give Biden “vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure,” and the ability to censor free speech and freeze financial assets.
-- U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart

The nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity issued a non exhaustive “legal guide” saying that Biden, under an emergency declaration, could:

End crude oil exports
End all offshore oil and gas leasing
Restrict U.S. fossil fuel exports and end hundreds of billions of dollars in overseas fossil fuel investments
Dramatically accelerate a transition to clean energy

Remember All Those Beheading and Rape Jihad Videos From A Decade Ago?

Terrorist groups have a new tool in their social media toolbox – Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is being used by a rising generation of members of Hizbullah, Hamas, and Yemen's Ansar Allah Movement (Houthis) to win new supporters and followers. Pro-ISIS and pro-Al-Qaeda figures involved with these groups' online activity frequently discuss, on their closed encrypted platforms, how to best use AI. As one ISIS supporter recently exhorted, "In order to move forward in the future, we need to learn how to use the new technology."

The Secret of Greatness

Here we must talk about the secret of greatness. What is the secret of greatness? The secret of greatness is to be able to serve something greater than yourself. To do this, you first have to acknowledge that in the world there is something or some things that are greater than you, and then you must dedicate yourself to serving those greater things.

There are not many of these. You have your God, your country and your family. But if you do not do that, but instead you focus on your own greatness, thinking that you are smarter, more beautiful, more talented than most people, if you expend your energy on that, on communicating all that to others, then what you get is not greatness, but grandiosity.

We have a new A.I. danger. We are not used to meeting believable impostors online. A.I. can now mimic specific human voices, and compose text which mimics specific human thinking and writing styles. This threatens individual economic security; also national security.

An individual posing as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly used an AI-generated voice to call high-level officials in what appears to be an attempt to manipulate government officials to obtain access to information or accounts.

The unknown Rubio impostor has so far reportedly contacted at least five government officials: three foreign ministers, one U.S. governor, and one member of Congress, according to a State Department cable obtained by the Washington Post.

Authorities believe the imposter is likely trying to manipulate the high-end officials “with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts,” the July 3 cable sent by Rubio’s office to State Department employees said.
