I’ve written countless articles on the topic of central planning and its failures, practical, economic, political and moral. In some cases, the arrogance of the central planners results in real devastation, often in actual loss of life and property, and the price for their mistakes is paid by not just the people they directly hurt but even by the generations to come.
In other cases, their blind ego and their unshakable belief that they can do no wrong, for they know better than anyone else, alive or dead, just results in comical blunders. Stupid policies to rectify stupid non-problems that nobody really cares about frequently backfire and make the original non-problem worse. Nobody gets hurt in the process. Sure, taxpayers get to pay for all these blunders and they keep paying the individuals responsible for them, since accountability really isn’t a top priority in the public sector. But that’s the least of our concerns when it comes to mismanagement of public finances, given the billions and trillions that are wasted globally, or even worse, being used to fund programs and policies that directly against our own interests.

In a recent experiment, Vice.com writer Joseph Cox used an AI-generated voice to bypass Lloyds Bank security and access his account.
To achieve this, Cox used a free service of ElevenLabs, an AI-voice generation company that supplies voices for newsletters, books and videos.
Cox recorded five minutes of speech and uploaded it to ElevenLabs. After making some adjustments, such as having the AI read a longer body of text for a more natural cadence, the generated audio outmaneuvered Lloyds security.

Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer recently introduced a bill that would ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) directly to anyone, per a report by Bitcoin Magazine.
The bill is titled the “CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act” and outlines that “Except as specifically authorized under this Act, a Federal Reserve bank may not offer products or services directly to an individual, or maintain an account on behalf of an individual, or issue a central bank digital currency directly to an individual.” The bill adds that “The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee may not use any central bank digital currency to implement monetary policy.”

The decision to prioritize “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) in the hiring of airline pilots is causing people to DIE, Tucker Carlson reports.

During the rushed clinical trials for Pfizer’s covid-19 vaccine, study participants were injured and killed. Instead of halting the experiment at once, Pfizer tried to cover up the adverse events by unblinding the study and removing the patients who were injured and killed. A German publication, Die Welt, has uncovered the stories of patients who were seriously injured and killed by Pfizer’s fraudulent clinical trials. Remember, Pfizer and the FDA wanted to cover up these stories for 75 years, but were forced to release clinical trial data via court order.

One asylum seeker who illegally entered Canada on February 11 told CBC that he and his 6-month pregnant wife were sent to Ontario just three days after arriving — even though he told authorities he and his wife wanted to stay in Quebec.
“I said we want to stay in Montreal because I don’t speak English and my wife doesn’t either, and she needs to have medical appointments for the pregnancy,” said the man.
But the authorities told the man there was no room for him in Quebec, and shipped him off to Ontario, along with 40 other migrants.

To protect “democracy.”
UNESCO, the UN agency for culture and education, this week organized an “impressive” gathering in Paris – “Internet for Trust.” It gathered close to 5,000 participants from governments, their regulators, Big Tech, journalists, etc., all looking for ways to stop “online hate speech.”
Among those who offered their thoughts on the topic – via a statement read by Secretary of Digital Policies Joao Brant – was Brazil’s newly, and controversially elected president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (aka, Lula).

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy trashed Americans who are opposed to giving him more of our money.
Zelenskyy was asked about polls that are suggesting “a growing number of Americans believe that the US is giving too much support to Ukraine.”
A new Associated Press and NORC poll found that 24 percent of Americans believe that the US should not play a role in the conflict. Pew Research found that seven percent of Americans believed Ukraine was getting too much support in March 2022 — and that number has now grown to 26 percent as of January 2023.
