Brennan’s Betrayal: From Idealism to Deception in US Intelligence Jonathan Turley – In 1980, a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin saw an ad for the Central Intelligence Agency on a bus. John Brennan decided to apply, thinking that such a job would satisfy his “wanderlust.” This month, the “wanderlust” of John Brennan came to an end, as the former CIA director stands accused of false testimony regarding the Russian collusion investigation. Ironically, Brennan was first selected for his honesty — at least in part. During his ... more Suddenly Skilled: How AI Is Changing Talent and Authenticity Michael Ashley – “I know Kung Fu,” Neo says as his eyes flick open in The Matrix. There’s no need for our hero to spend hours practicing martial arts. All he needs is an instant neural upload. Learning for “the chosen one” isn’t laborious. Or painful. It’s only a matter of accessing code and voilà: Neo becomes instantly as adept at kicking and punching as legendary Bruce Lee. When I reflect on the controversy ... more The Real Threat of Programmable Money: Autonomy Vanishing? Niamh Harris – Australia’s reserve bank (RBA) is laying the groundwork for a dystopian financial reality where ‘money is given a brain and then the switch is handed to someone else’ The reserve bank is quietly helping to build a world in which money could expire or be geographically restricted by jumping feet first into the world of “programmable money”, according to John Mac Ghlionn. John Mac Ghlionn is a researcher and essayist who writes on psychology and social relations. He has a keen interest in social dysfunction and ... more Did Feds and Billionaires Collude on a Secret Earth-Cooling Plot? Johnathan Jones – A group of researchers developing a controversial sun-dimming technology worked closely with federal scientists while keeping their plans quiet from the public, according to internal documents obtained by Politico. The project, known as the Marine Cloud Brightening Program, was led by the University of Washington and supported by private climate advocacy groups and wealthy donors. Its goal was to ... more Stop Falling for Journalistic Sleight of Hand: Here’s the Real Story Charlton Allen – “Advocates say.” Two words that signal attribution—but have become a shield, a cudgel, and a journalistic sleight of hand. This phrase, and others like it, are increasingly used in what is presented as mainstream reporting but is actually laced with opinion. But “advocates say” is not journalism—it’s an ideological hustle that holds the truth hostage. It is, well, advocacy. Consider this ... more Why Ginkgo Trees Are Nature’s Resilient Survivors Darren Orf – There is no tree on Earth like the Ginkgo biloba. It’s the sole survivor of its genus, family (Ginkoaceae), order (Ginkgoales), class (Ginkgoopsida), and even its phylum (Ginkgophyta). In other words, it has no living relatives. Ancestors of the ginkgos now filling our parks and city streets lived on Earth 270 million years ago; for those keeping track, that means the ginkgo predates the Triassic Period (aka the beginning of the dinosaurs) by a cool ... more “Toning” your vagus nerve can boost your health David R Hamilton, Ph.D. – There’s a lot of buzz around the vagus nerve these days, but many people still don’t fully understand what it is, how it works, or why it matters so much for health. So this week’s Better You, Backed by Science is dedicated to why “toning” your vagus nerve can make such a difference – and how to do it. What is the vagus nerve — and what does “toning” it mean? The vagus nerve plays a central role in ... more Best wishes, Gillian Shift Frequency © 2025, Burlington, NC 27215
