Undeniably Right

Mike Mustang

I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.

We Were Right About Artificial Intelligence

A number of recent surveys revealed that Americans are scared of artificial intelligence. 75% of us think it can be abused and needs to be regulated. However, only 30% of us believe the government would be an effective regulator of artificial intelligence. The abuses that bother us aren't the Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminator movies, but or how it could be used to control our lives on a daily basis. Their fears are well founded given recent uses of the technology to support left wing political positions and to target those that express differing opinions.

But there is a more sinister use that has been developed. Stories are appearing in which a parent receives a phone call from a child. The child tells mom or dad they are in trouble; maybe they've been kidnapped or are on spring break and got arrested. The parents are convinced the call comes from their child because they recognize the voice and details of their call are extremely plausible. But the calls don't come from the child. Bad people have replicated the voice using AI. The AI program has scoured social media to find out details about the child's life and finding recordings of them speaking. It makes the calls extremely plausible. Experts are telling everyone to create a safe word, much as we did when our children were in elementary school.

The FISA Court Abuses Were Worse Than Imagined

Those of you that have been paying attention know that the investigation into Donald Trump and Russian collusion during the presidential campaign was triggered bye FBI agents who received a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Paige. Some of you probably know that the information contained in the warrant application was not only falsified but was planted by the FBI in newspapers, with the cooperation of the reporters, in order to justify obtaining said warrant. I think we all know how bad that is. But it turns out it is much worse.

The FISA courts were created to allow law enforcement agencies at the federal level to obtain warrants to surveil foreign entities or people. Those who may be spying upon the United states or trying to influence the outcome of elections or similar activities. Section 702 that created the FISA courts specifically said it cannot be used to obtain warrants to surveil American citizens. And many of us suspected that the FBI nor the FISA courts were adhering strictly to that rule as we learned more about the investigation into Donald Trump.

Wag the Dog

There are so many stories that would be worthy of reporting in the news that it makes it difficult to decide what to talk about. And it makes it hard to figure out which ones are "wag the dog" type stories and which ones are really newsworthy, but they don't want us to be aware of what's going on. It's kind of like being hit in the face full blast with water from a hose.

Mike McCormick, former White House stenographer that spent several years following Joe Biden around when he was vice president confirms that Joe knew about Hunter's business dealings while he was vice president. Jake Sullivan, then an aide to Joe Biden, gave a briefing on Air Force 2 as they were headed to the Ukraine to announce among other things, a $50 million payment from the US government to boost Ukraine's energy industry. Joe Biden has said multiple times he had no idea about his son's business dealings. Jake Sullivan gave a briefing to members of the press on Air Force 2 touting the $50 million payment from the United States government to help bolster the Ukrainian energy industry, specifically fracking for natural gas. Burisma was a recipient of a large amount of that money. We now have bank records that show some of that money was paid to Hunter Biden's company and redistributed to members of the Biden family including one identified only as 'Biden'.
