In the proposed fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act released Sunday night, lawmakers reinforced previous restrictions on privatizing commissaries under law. The proposed legislation includes language stating that DOD “may not take” any action that conflicts with an existing provision that restricts private companies from managing the commissary system or a commissary store.Lawmakers’ actions come in response to an April 7 DOD memorandum that directed all functions that are not inherently governmental to be prioritized for privatization. It specifically…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  All over the globe, the digital control grid that we are all living in just continues to get even tighter. They are using facial recognition technology to scan our faces, they are using license plate readers to track where we travel, they are systematically monitoring the conversations that we are having on our phones, and they are watching literally everything that we post on social media. At this stage, many of us just assume that nothing that we do or say is ever truly private. We…

“Bittersweet.”That’s the shorthand the Navy uses to indicate a potential friendly fire situation. But in the minutes before midnight Zulu time on Dec. 21, 2024, it was already too late to make the call and avert the disaster by the time commanders saw it coming.According to a command investigation published this month into the events that led to the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg shooting down an F/A-18 Super Hornet from the nearby carrier Harry S. Truman and narrowly missing taking out another, a rapid series of missteps — and a long pattern of rushed training and failed equipment — contributed…

The Santee River was to my left, maybe 50 yards, and I could hear the water passing and the overhanging willow limbs that kept slapping it. There was no other noise in the Santee swamp in the South Carolina low country. I scratched my back against the gum…

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has warned that artificial general intelligence, or AGI, could arrive within the next decade. With it, there could be “catastrophic outcomes”. Some of the catastrophes Hassabis warned of could be cyberattacks on energy or water infrastructure. Ruling classes could use HGI to destroy necessary infrastructure, eliminating human beings without the need for war. Speaking at the Axios AI+ Summit in San Francisco last week, Hassabis described AGI as a model that exhibits “all the cognitive capabilities” of humans, including inventive and creative abilities, according to a report by RT.  He also argued that current large…
