Good news on this front.  We're looking at chemtrails according to the Director of HHS.

A false intelligence report claimed a Chinese ship was carrying parts of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, according to a CNN exclusive published Friday.

A U.S. military operation to "intercept" the ship was nearly underway when officials learned the report was generated by artificial intelligence and was inaccurate, according to the report. The mistake, if acted upon, could have started a war between the U.S. and China, a source told the outlet.


The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.

The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.


It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was "entirely false." But it also "almost started a war," the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

Across the US military and the intelligence community, officials are pushing to weave AI into nearly every facet of their work, from analyzing the huge volumes of raw intelligence the US collects and selecting targets for strikes, to more mundane applications like managing budgeting, logistics and supply chains.

From the WSJ:

The recent resignation of an Anthropic researcher has awakened the public to the shocking notion that runaway AI development could end humanity. However, some stalwarts of the AI-safety community known as doomers have spent more than a decade obsessing over this exact apocalyptic risk. They were among the earliest employees at major labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Now, while Anthropic tries to strike an optimistic tone for investors ahead of a massive public listing, some of its earliest employees are considering buying land in remote places to relocate if the technology goes awry.

Mike Johnson promises more failure if GOP wins midterms

"What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already and that is putting the conditions in place for a strong America," Johnson said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box."

[MU82]

Two more years of unnecessary and costly wars, higher gas prices, record diesel prices leading to higher prices on just about everything, exploding deficits, our allies hating us, unconstitutional tariffs serving as a tax on American consumers, laser-like focus on the important task of putting his lord and master's name and face on everything, and America being an international laughingstock.

That promise is sure to get votes from Independents.

Don't worry.  No one knows more about plague than POTUS.  Believe me, many people have said as much

So much so that his name and "plague" are many times mentioned in the same sentence.

[tower912]

Great.  Now everybody is going to want one.

Possible plague outbreak in Russia.

Not just any plague. Pneumonic. Spread via respiratory droplets. Incubation period about a week. Without appropriate antibiotics within a specific window, the death rate is almost 100%.

6 hospitals on lockdown/quarantine.
