By the AI, For the AI

No doubt the Representatives in Congress are also using AI to read the AI-drafted legislation that is being provided to them:

US congressional lawyers are struggling with a flood of error-ridden AI-generated legislation, forcing them to spend increasingly more time rewriting proposals produced by chatbots, Politico reported on Monday. Staffers and outside groups have more frequently turned to ChatGPT and Claude to produce legislative text, with error-ridden drafts regularly reaching the House Office of Legislative Counsel (OLC), according to eight current and former officials interviewed by the Axel Springer-owned outlet.

No doubt these laws are being drafted for Representatives Chen and Martinez with military precision. And that matters.

The crazy thing is that there is a non-zero chance that Byron AI will one day be authoring legislation for Americans. Especially if we’re successful in designing it to write better than ChatGPT and Claude.

The Civilizational Metric

Civilization literally lives when you give men more money and dies when you give women more money. Literally. That’s the Natural Law. And it is screaming at us.

A recent study found that giving men a pay raise led them to have more children, while giving women a pay raise led them to have fewer children.

I’ve long said that feminism is the only political philosophy that is materially worse than communism, socialism, and national socialism. It’s essentially the political philosophy that pairs with satanic theology, and it’s not an accident that feminism has led to mass child murder, the construction of transgenderism, and if Clown World survives long enough, even worse.

The good news is that history very clearly teaches that once Clown World reaches a certain point, it gets wiped out so comprehensively that it takes centuries to recover.

Give Them What They Voted For

The new Labour Prime Minister is going to provide refugees for those who welcomed them most enthusiastically:

There are 17 local authorities with no taxpayer-supported asylum seekers, an analysis by the Daily Mail reveals – as Andy Burnham vows to send more to middle-class areas. The Prime Minister yesterday promised to ensure arrivals are not only placed in the ‘poorest communities’ when he was pressed about proposals for a migrant camp near the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington.

‘All parts of the country need to play their part,’ he said – prompting the Tories to accuse him of wanting to ‘dish out another vindictive punishment beating to the UK’s middle classes’.

Asylum seekers who are waiting for a decision on their asylum claim are often eligible for accommodation and money to cover their living expenses. This is provided by the Home Office, and the migrants themselves are dispersed across the country.

Home Office figures showing the number of supported asylum seekers per local authority at the end of March reveal the areas that currently house no migrants are overwhelmingly rural beauty spots. These include the Cotswolds, Derbyshire Dales, Malvern Hills, the New Forest and the Scottish Highlands.

Others include Mid Devon, East Hertfordshire, Ceredigion (a scenic county in west Wales) and Hart, a 118-square-mile local authority taking in major towns, rural parishes and villages in Hampshire.

I think refugees and immigrants should only be permitted in states and cities where the population specifically voted to support asylum and immigration. Democracy, even in its limited form, has comprehensively failed due to its natural tendency to separate those who support the policies from the consequences of those policies. And in doing so, it becomes a potentially even more unjust system than monarchy.

A Clown World Assassination

It appears Ann Widdecombe was murdered as part of a planned assassination campaign against Reform UK leaders:

Police investigating the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe are looking at whether the suspect was targeting ‘other Reform politicians’.

The Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, said the political veteran was the victim of a ‘targeted attack’ and confirmed officers are still looking into any ‘motivation’ behind the 78-year-old’s death.

Police believe the former Tory minister – latterly Reform’s justice and immigration spokesman – was killed in her remote Dartmoor home on Wednesday lunchtime.

A 28-year-old remains in custody on suspicion of murder and terror offences.

Mr Taylor said this afternoon: ‘It is clear that this was a targeted attack.

‘We are still working to understand the extent of any planning or preparation, and the motivation that sits behind that attack.

We’ve already seen an attempt at creating a financial scandal around Farage, which suggests that the decline of the Labour and Conservative Parties may be more precipitous than anyone had imagined.

Exuent the Ladybug

The political world was shocked early Sunday morning by the sudden and completely unexpected passing of longtime South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. He was 71 years old. According to an official statement released by his office, the senior Republican Senator passed away on Saturday evening, July 11, after a brief, rapid battle with an undisclosed illness. Emergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.

The vaxx, Iran, or natural causes? Regardless, one of the worst fake conservatives is no longer on the political scene. He will not be missed. But it will be interesting to see what effect the absence of one of the leading warmongers in the Senate will have.

UPDATE: Graham had recently returned from Ukraine, per The Washington Post. He visited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, July 10, in Kyiv.

So the obvious question is, was the senator alive or was he already dead when he returned?

UPDATE: There is reason to believe that Sen. Mitch McConnell is dead as well.

It could just be a coincidence, but things do appear to be accelerating.

Europe’s Fake Democracy

It’s more than a bit ironic that both the USA and the European Union justify their wars on Russia and Iran as defenses of “democracy” when both organizations are observably anti-democratic in nature. All of their institutions are quite literally designed to prevent the will of the people from being enacted.

If anybody cares, what actually happened is that an extension of the European Union’s mass surveillance regulation known as Chat Control 1.0 failed to make it out of the European Parliament twice in March. Unable to summon a clear parliamentary majority, advocates (mostly in the centre-Right European People’s Party (EPP)) turned to the European Council, which adopted the failed Chat Control 1.0 renewal on July 2nd. The Council’s position hardens automatically into law unless the European Parliament can summon an absolute majority to stop it. To forestall any such majority from forming, the EPP on Tuesday moved with member state backing for urgent procedure, angling to force their scheme through in the last days before the summer holiday, after many MEPs had already left. The parliament narrowly approved the urgent procedure, and in consequence there were not enough votes to stop Chat Control 1.0 when it came for a vote today. Hours ago, a majority of 314 MEPs voted to stop Chat Control against the wishes of the Council, while a minority of 276 voted to let it happen. Because 314 is less than the absolute majority of 361, Chat Control 1.0 passed even though most MEPs present didn’t want it to.

It was a sleazy vote, not least because it’s far from clear this procedural manoeuvre was even appropriate in this case. Also, electronic surveillance is bad, but if we are honest with ourselves this battle was already lost.

Neither the EU Council nor the US Supreme Court are elected to their positions, so neither the EU nor the US government can even be considered representative democracies, much less genuine ones.

Israel Admits Genocide

But not the recent one in Gaza. The Armenian one of 1915 to 1917, committed by the Turks.

The Israeli government’s decision to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide has become one of the most symbolic and politically sensitive steps in Israel’s relations with Türkiye. On the surface, it may look like Israel feels the need to restore historical justice: A state founded by a people who survived the horrific tragedy of the Holocaust proclaims a moral obligation to recognize the tragedies of other peoples and oppose the denial of crimes against humanity. But in world politics, moral arguments rarely exist in isolation; most often, they gain traction when they coincide with national interests.

 Israel’s move was addressed not so much towards Armenia or even Türkiye, but towards the US, where a struggle for the future balance of power in the Middle East is unfolding. Israel increasingly perceives Türkiye as the next major regional rival after Iran. While in the past, despite political crises and harsh rhetoric, Ankara and West Jerusalem had maintained space for pragmatic interaction, today this model has effectively collapsed. Türkiye pursues an independent role in the region, seeks to expand its influence in the Muslim world, and is striving to become one of the centers of power in the new architecture of the Middle East. This poses a strategic challenge for Israel. For decades, its security relied heavily on its qualitative military superiority, secured in part by US military aid, access to advanced technologies, and a special status within the US alliance system. However, if Türkiye gains expanded access to Western technology, this balance could begin to shift. This is precisely why the issue with the F-35 jets, and more broadly, the strengthening of Türkiye’s military-technical capabilities, is of fundamental importance to Israel. This isn’t just about the fighter jets; it’s a question of whether Israel will maintain its technological advantage in the region or whether Türkiye will gradually approach it in terms of the quality of its weapons, industrial base, and military capabilities. 

This is where the US factor comes in. In the US, the Armenian issue carries certain political weight because of the Armenian diaspora, congressmen, and lobbyists. By recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Israel may attempt to integrate into this sensitive agenda and thereby strengthen those forces in Washington that oppose excessive rapprochement with Türkiye.

In other words, Israel may intend to activate not only pro-Israeli but also pro-Armenian circles in American politics in order to oppose certain defense concessions to Ankara.

Playing the Armenian Genocide card is another sign that Israel is expecting to be engaging in military hostilities with Turkey sooner rather than later. Although I’m not sure it will be necessary, since Turkey already appears to be disengaging from NATO and the West in favor of Russia, China, and Iran, which even without Turkey has proven to be a more formidable alliance than anyone had anticipated.

Tears of a Clown

It’s a little late for the eviction from Number Ten Downing Street to be considered “gracious”. And, of course, the British prime ministership is going from “stupid, corrupt, and Zionist” to “insane and extreme socialist” so things aren’t going to get any better on the domestic or immigration fronts, although the enthusiasm for foreign invasions should be significantly reduced.

Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.

The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No10. 

But he acknowledged that his time as PM had run out. ‘I know the question being asked now is not who is best placed to change the Labour Party… the question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.’

He added: ‘I accept that answer with good grace… that is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.’ 

Sir Keir said there would be an ‘orderly’ process to choose his replacement, and that a successor would be in place before the Commons summer recess on July 16, if there is only one candidate – Mr Burnham. Otherwise, the decision could take until August.

I doubt it matters much who leads the Labour Party. The British people have no interest in being run by the Tories or Labour anymore. Why should they, when both parties have observably governed on behalf of their foreign invaders, at their expense and to their detriment.

Perhaps they can vote their way out of it, but that seems unlikely given the near-comprehensive failure of every conservative and/or nationalist party outside of Russia and El Salvador to deliver meaningful results that are genuinely beneficial to the people of the nation.

Watch the Wives

The British Prime Minister is still refusing to step down despite having no support left within the Labour Party because his wife won’t allow it. That’s not a loyal wife. That’s a handler:

Over the past 24 hours, the PM’s allies have fanned out to brief that she will be the decisive voice in determining whether he steps down, or opts to fight on. With the consensus conveniently being that she will urge him to dig in.

‘Vic is of the view, “You need to keep on going,”’ one pro-Starmer aide briefed. Another claimed she is ‘his rock’. ‘You hear second-hand she’s really pushing for him to stay.’

OK. But with the greatest respect to Lady Starmer, that’s not her decision to make.

It’s obviously natural that any senior politician would discuss the issue of their impending resignation with their close family members. But that is not what Starmer’s inner circle are briefing. According to them, Lady Starmer effectively has a veto of whether her husband stays in office or steps down. And she shouldn’t have. She is not a member of the Cabinet. She is not a Member of Parliament. She has no formal advisory role.

Until this point Downing Street has strenuously insisted she is entirely divorced from the Government’s political affairs, and should be afforded due privacy as a result. Yet we’re suddenly being told she is second-guessing the elected Cabinet, elected MPs, the tens of thousands of people who voted in the Makerfield by-election and the millions who voted in the recent local elections, and is ordering Sir Keir to stick his head in the sand.

Starmer’s fate was sealed the moment Andy Burnham got back into Parliament by winning the by-election and becoming eligible for a Labour Party leadership challenge. And I think we’ll see Britain cease to be quite so bellicose in both the Middle East and Russia once Starmer is forced out of office, which is probably why he’s being made to fight, and inevitably lose, an ignominious battle he cannot win.

Overton in the UK

It appears Niles Farage has belatedly realized that Restore is going to eat Reform’s lunch if he keeps calling them racists and Nazis and antisemites instead of supporting their resistance to the violent, decades-long assault on the British nation by Clown World and its various foreign invaders:

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has taken to Substack to accuse the British government of infecting the UK with “deep anti-white racism.” He also published damning racism and crime statistics in an essay, much of which would have been previously unspeakable.

Farage announced his migration to the platform on Saturday, saying that the move to Substack would allow him to speak directly to the British public without “the mainstream media constantly distort[ing] what I say.” One day later, Farage used this new platform to unleash a 7,000-word tirade against the British state, which, he argued, has become “a two tier state against white people.”

Farage took aim at decades of British policy that he says have unfairly benefited minorities and discriminated against white Britons. He highlighted Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies in healthcare, education, policing, and the military that he insists have been implemented to disadvantage white patients, students, and applicants, and promised to repeal the 2010 Equality Act which, in his words, ensures that “anti-Whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.”

In healthcare, the NHS prioritizes “ethnic minority communities” and “vulnerable migrants” for accelerated diagnosis and treatment, despite white Britons having the highest mortality rate of all the UK’s ethnic groups. In education, the poorest white Britons have the lowest outcomes of any demographic, yet are lectured about their “white privilege” and their “responsibility” to reduce racism, and sidelined when applying for university in favor of black students with lower exam scores, Farage said. In policing, he claimed, agencies across the country have adopted “race action plans” and done away with stop-and-frisk policies that seemingly target black men – even though at 13% of London’s population, this demographic is responsible for 61% of knife murder in the British capital.

Farage is, quite literally, a gatekeeper. I don’t trust anyone who stands with Clown World against anyone that the Clown Worlder’s are calling anything, because no one is dumb enough to keep falling for the same deceitful rhetoric after 65+ straight years of it. But he’s vastly preferable to the frauds of the Conservative Party and the lunatics of Labour.

And I suspect the realization that he could have kept out Barnham if he hadn’t ostracized the people who are now the Reform Party has scared him a little straight. Because the real contest going forward isn’t Labour vs Conservative, but Reform vs Restore. And since things will continue to get worse before they get better, and because Farage is a one-man operation without a successor, Restore is the better bet in the long run.

Because there is no way anyone can vote their way out of this sort of government:

As the Director of Public Prosecutions, current Prime Minister Keir Starmer let off 13,000 suspected Muslim rape gang members and paedophiles with WARNING LETTERS. Meanwhile he has actual British subjects jailed for social media posts & mean words.

This is what happens when you establish an international empire ruling over foreign nations. The more-enterprising, more-capable, and more-corruptible foreigners inevitably gravitate to the capital and eventually take over. Starmer isn’t English or even British. He is an Irishman married to a Jew.
