Gigablast: The Private Search Engine that Does NOT Use Google or Bing’s Data

There are many search engines today that claim to protect your privacy, with Duckduckgo.com being the most popular alternative to Google and Microsoft's Bing. But the problem with these alternative privacy-oriented alternative search engines, is that they still use the data and search results from either Google or Bing (Duckduckgo.com uses Bing), so even if your search is private, it does not solve the issue of censorship where Google and Bing use algorithms to decide which results to display for your search. The only search engine that I have found so far that builds its own data set and does NOT use Google or Bing, is Gigablast. Gigablast is also the engine behind private.sh, launched in 2020, which claims to be the only private search engine that offers cryptographically-secured privacy. While private.sh has a cleaner interface, I still like Gigablast.com because it has more features. For example, in the settings, you can choose to "Show banned results." There are also links to run your search through duckduckgo.com to see results based on Bing's data, and startpage to see results based on Google's data.

After Losing $150 BILLION on Chat AI Botched Launch, Google Search Head Explains Their AI Suffers “Hallucination” Giving “Convincing but Completely Made-up Answers”

Worried that their competitor, Microsoft, was pulling ahead in the new excitement over ChatGPT AI search results, Google announced this week that they were launching their AI powered search, BARD, and posted a demo on Twitter. Amazingly, Google failed to fact-check the information BARD was giving to the public, and it wasn't long before others figured out that it was giving false information. Google's stocks lost 7.7% of their valuation that day, and then another 4% the next day, for a total loss of over $150 BILLION. Yesterday (Friday, February 10, 2022), Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president at Google and head of Google Search, told Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper: "This kind of artificial intelligence we're talking about right now can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination. This then expresses itself in such a way that a machine provides a convincing but completely made-up answer," Raghavan said in comments published in German. One of the fundamental tasks, he added, was keeping this to a minimum. This tendency to be prone to "hallucination" does not appear to be unique to Google's AI and chat bot. OpenAI, the company that has developed ChatGPT which Microsoft is investing heavily in, also warns that their AI may also deliver "plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers." So since these new AI chat bots are so unreliable and so easily hacked, why are investors and Big Tech companies like Google and Microsoft throwing $BILLIONS into them? Because people are using them, probably hundreds of millions of people. That's the metric that always drives investment in new Big Tech products that are often nothing more than fads and gimmicks. But if a lot of people are using these products, there is money to be made, and yet another way to track and control people.

Fingerprints of Unvaccinated NYC Teachers Flagged to FBI

On February 8, 2023, while arguing on behalf of fired NYC workers who declined covid vaccination, attorney John Bursch stated in open court that unvaccinated teachers in New York City were flagged with problem codes in their personnel files, and when that occurred “their fingerprints are sent with that flag to the FBI and the New York Criminal Justice Services.” In federal court on February 8th attorney Susan Paulson who was defending NYC stated that educators fired for declining covid vaccination were not removed for misconduct, but rather for not meeting a requirement for employment. If there was no misconduct, why are unvaccinated educators fingerprints sent to the FBI?

CDC Adds EUA COVID Shots to their Childhood Immunization Schedule to Target Poor Families on Government Aid

The CDC has announced today that they have added the COVID-19 "vaccines" to their childhood immunization schedule. The COVID-19 "vaccines" now add another 2-3 doses of vaccines to the 25 doses of other vaccines already on the CDC schedule that can be injected into babies and toddlers during their first 15 months of life. This seems to be the first time in the history of the CDC that vaccines that are not even FDA-approved but only have EUAs (emergency use authorizations) have been added to the CDC childhood immunization schedule. How is this even legal? CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, while appearing before Congress yesterday, was asked why these shots were added to the Child Immunization schedule. She replied that they were added: "ONLY because it was the only way it could be covered in our 'Vaccines for Children' program." The Vaccines For Children (VFC) program is a U.S. Government program to provide vaccines to low-income families receiving government aid through the Medicaid program. Could this be a path the U.S. Government is creating to require lower-income families to have their children vaccinated in order to receive other Government aid benefits, such as food stamps? If Brazil is an example of what is to come here in the U.S., then it is most certainly possible, if not probable. "Social Credit Brazilian Style: All UBI Recipients Must Be Vaxxed."

CDC Director Blames “Misinformation” for Reduced Vaccination Rates of Kindergartners

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky appeared before Congress this week, and blamed "dis and misinformation" for kindergarten children showing up at school without being fully vaccinated. And where could these parents be getting this "misinformation" that is causing them not to vaccinate their children? Maybe they are getting it from the CDC's own Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) which is available to anyone in the public. According to VAERS, there were 77,990 injuries including 263 deaths recorded in 2021 and 2022 following all vaccines. Of those 77,990 cases filed during 2021 and 2022, 61,375 were following COVID-19 "vaccines," including 160 of the deaths recorded. Prior to 2020, for the 10-year period covering 2010 through 2019, there were 120,783 cases of vaccine injuries and deaths recorded in VAERS, or about 12,000 per year. That's an increase of over 200% for vaccine injuries and deaths since the COVID shots were introduced, according to the CDC's own data. Could this be the "misinformation" that Walensky was talking about? Of course Walensky knows all of this, since it is the CDC's own data, so by petitioning Congress and parents to give more vaccines to their children is intent to commit premeditated murder. Why would parents want to avoid that??

United States Guilty of Terrorism by Blowing up Nord Stream Pipeline

85-year-old journalist Seymour Hersh, who used to write for the New York Times and is referred to by some as "the greatest journalist of our time", and now publishes on Substack, just published what many are claiming is the "news story of the century." Seymour Hersh gained recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. Hersh has conclusively shown how the U.S. Government was responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia in a deliberate act of terrorism. The corporate media has mostly tried to discredit Hersh by not treating this as a major story, with the exception of Tucker Carlson on Fox News, who of course blamed everything on Joe Biden and his Democratic administration. But here is Clayton and Natali Morris's coverage of this yesterday on Redacted News, where they pull video footage of many Republican members of Congress also calling for the closing down of the Russian Nord Stream pipeline, including U.S. Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, home of some of the largest Big Oil companies in the world who benefited from Germany's loss of cheap Russian gas in 2022. So while this was a bipartisan action to destroy the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia and the greatest ecological disaster of all time, the true criminals are the Globalists who put these politicians into power, and reaped their greatest year of financial profit in American history last year.

Healthy Traditions Adds Bulk Dry Beans to Product Line as a Storable Protein for Food Security

Healthy Traditions, an online store that sells high quality food sourced from small-scale family producers that is tested for the presence of GMOs and the herbicide glyphosate, added bulk dried beans imported from Italy to its product line today. There are four variety of beans available: Borlotti Beans, Cannellini Beans, Black Beans, and Red Kidney Beans. These dried beans are grown on organic Italian family farms without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. The beans are also tested for pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used pesticide on the planet, and the samples came back with no trace found. Beans are a great source of protein that can be stored indefinitely when properly done. The bulk options come packaged in air tight 5 Kg. bags with all of the oxygen removed.  These can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place for many, many years.

The Digitalization of Agriculture: Big Tech’s Plan to Take Over the Food Supply

As I recently reported earlier this week, everything and anything related to digital computer technology these days is being labeled as "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), the new marketing buzzword for Big Tech to lure money from investors, so it should not surprise us that Big Tech is now attempting to apply AI to food production. A report published at the end of 2022 by The ETC Group does an excellent job of reporting just how Big Tech is planning on taking over the world's food supply: Food Barons 2022 - Crisis Profiteering, Digitalization and Shifting Power. They report: "The vista of new digital initiatives in food and ag is dizzying. On the farm, it includes concerted attempts to impose digital agriculture, weaving in drone sprayers, Artificial Intelligence-driven robotic planters and automated animal-feeding operations tricked out with facial recognition for livestock. Big Ag giants such as Bayer, Deere & Company, Corteva, Syngenta and Nutrien are restructuring their entire businesses around Big Data platforms. Bayer’s ‘Field View’ digital platform, for  example, extracts 87.5 billion datapoints from 180 million acres (78.2 million hectares) of farmland in 23 countries and  funnels it into the cloud servers of Microsoft and Amazon. Deere, the world’s largest farm machinery company, now employs more software engineers than mechanical engineers." This is the reason why billionaire technocrats, such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, are now among the largest owners of farmland in the United States. This is the future of the technology, and they know it. With Big Tech's encroachment into agriculture, we have now moved from "Is this food safe to eat?" to "Is this even 'food' and is it edible?" If it is packaged and sold in fast food restaurants and grocery stores, most people just assume it is edible and not something that will poison and kill you, because "they wouldn't do that." But who are "they"? You mean regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that just authorized a population-reduction set of products called "COVID-19 vaccines"? Nah, of course not. "They" would never allow poisonous, inedible food that harms the public be sold commercially, would they?

After Years of Bombing Syria, the U.S. Continues to Turn Their Back on Those Suffering After a Massive Killer Earthquake

I spent several years living in Turkey in the mid-1980s and early 1990s, and have lived in the area where a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck earlier this week, with thousands of deaths. During my time in Southeastern Turkey in 1991, working with Kurdish refugees, I got to know many Orthodox Christian Syrians living in that region. It is so sad to see the pictures of devastation from this region this week, following the massive earthquake that struck there. But what really angers is me is how the criminal government of the United States has caused thousands of Syrian deaths even before the earthquake happened, by unnecessarily bombing the people and ruining their economy through sanctions. And now that the people of Syria are suffering even more because of this massive earthquake, the U.S. refuses to lift sanctions against the country to allow a greater flow of humanitarian aid to come into the country to help the survivors. The U.S. denies that they are stopping aid workers, of course, but I spoke with some Orthodox Christian Syrians living here in the U.S. today who confirmed to me that their families are suffering, and that the sanctions in place make it very difficult for them to get aid to their family members living in Syria.

What ChatGPT and DeepMind Tell Us about AI

The world is agog at the apparent power of ChatGPT and similar programs to compose human-level narratives and generate images from simple commands. Many are succumbing to the temptation to extrapolate these powers to near-infinity, i.e. the Singularity in which AI reaches super-intelligence Nirvana. All the excitement is fun but it's more sensible to start by placing ChatGPT in the context of AI history and our socio-economic system.
