Data Sets, Fraud, and the Future

by Jon Rappoport

June 4, 2021

Right off the bat, here is a scene from the near-future: AI takes a look at John Jones’ medical records, does instant collating, and comes up with a disease diagnosis.

Jones’ doctor’s office contacts Jones. Via Zoom, the doctor’s AI assistant slaps on a diagnosis, and an hour later, two bottles of medical drugs arrive at Jones’ door.

One problem: the data set assembled by AI is preposterous. Jones’ so-called symptoms don’t add up to a disease. Only in another data set, held by the CDC, do the symptoms require a disease-label.

There was a saying at the dawn of the Internet: garbage in, garbage out. But that was never the case. The predominant theme was always: garbage in, garbage eaten and digested and deployed.

The public is being treated to an awesome amount of propaganda, indicating that faster and more comprehensive handling of data means progress.

“We can profile this, we can predict that, we can discover what groups believe and don’t believe, we can organize efficient approaches to public safety, we can control traffic patterns, we can diagnose mental disorders, we can present customized ads to individuals, we can make cash completely electronic, etc.”

As if slicker manipulation of larger and larger data sets is, in some sense, “more accurate.”

Rube/yokel response: “Well, that’s good. Remove the human factor. AI is neutral. Data are analyzed objectively. Follow the science.”

When in fact, this manipulating and coordinating and organizing is an attractive cover for: bias based on the obsession to control populations.

Example: The psychiatric data set contains 300 labeled mental disorders. Clusters of behavioral symptoms are listed for each disorder. There are no lab tests. All the disorders are fakes. John Jones’ life has been profiled 16 ways from Sunday. He is diagnosed with mental disorder X-165 and prescribed a toxic drug that actually enhances the “symptoms” used to make the diagnosis—on top of which, he suffers brain damage. He’s now under control.

But the op is clean, bright and shiny, no human input. AI does it all. What yokel would object?

AI contacts Jones by Zoom: “Mr. Jones, we’ve carefully analyzed over a billion records of employment in the country. Yours was one of them. For the greater good—of which you’re a contributing member—your job has been deleted. However, we’ve found a somewhat comparable position in Duluth. You and your family will be moving there in two weeks.”

Wow. AI analyzed a billion records. Digested their import, mixed and matched a few hundred thousand other data sets labeled “greater good,” and came up with a solution. No Democrats, no Republicans, just engineers. Planners. Humanitarian AI.

Example: “We’re evacuating the area. A new coronavirus has been isolated. The danger of spread must be curtailed. Details to follow in the next hour. Prepare. All is well.”

Formidable early warning. Except, no new virus was isolated.

Example: “The planetary AI grid is modulating energy use in Germany and France. For the next 48 days, users will experience three brownouts per day. Schedule to follow. Brownouts in Tanzania and Argentina have been lifted.”

Three billion data sets were analyzed to arrive at those conclusions. The AI analysis took 58 minutes. Next month, the analysis will take 41 minutes.

The New York Times: “Earth climate-change programs 30% faster, Microsoft reports.”

MIT: “No human brain could calculate energy-use needs.”

A thousand new Fauci’s appear on the scene to explain to the public the wonders of data analysis, AI, and greater good.

A series of doddering Bidens and hammerhead Merkels are replaced by publicists fronting for AI engineers.

Data sets and AI are a million-layer cake sitting on top of, and concealing, false and sociopathic premises.

That’s the 21st century cover story.

There will be many types of blowback. For example, data warriors will arise; they’ll corrupt data sets, making them patently ridiculous, and disrupt the AI logic.

And in response, the System will keep developing new layers of AI control; replacing as many humans (potential rebels) as possible.

This article supplies context for my work exposing virus-isolation. “New viruses” are data constructs, cobbled together by AI programs from historical libraries of old gene-sequences. Those sequences, in turn, are nothing more than hypothetical strings of data, once upon a time assumed (without evidence) to describe other viruses.

Data sets, fraud, AI. Pillars of modern civilization.

“But…but AI has uses that are beneficial…”

Indeed. If that weren’t the case, the whole effort to establish AI technocratic tyranny would be exposed in two weeks.

    ARTIFICIAL intelligence is FAKE, SYNTHETIC, no where near the same substance as the REAL intelligence. It’s like hearing the claim that artificial steak made from nylon or made from cow dung is more nutritious than from butchered cows.

  2. Brad says:

    I agree wholeheartedly with Jon’s assessment of the pyramid cap’s wet dream of a total technocratic control over not just the human species but of everything on this planet that is deemed to have any kind of value, from playgrounds and parks to mineral deposits. Where I disagree is the assumption that CV 19 does not exist because it has not been isolated. Who says that this virus hasn’t been isolated by morally defunct scientists in a lab predicated to the development of bio weapons aimed at the destruction of everything from crops to people? You can’t have it both ways wherein a claim is made that a virus has not been isolated and yet it has been altered in a lab for gain of function to target a specific life form. In this case human beings. While scientists, outside bio weapons labs doing science under the auspices of the ‘cap’, play catch up on what has been wrought I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that the creators of SARS – 2, yielding CV 19 knew almost exactly what havoc their creation would cause among the general population where cures would be denied. This while the ‘cap’ would have complete access to cures, namely HCQ, Ivermectin and various inhalants….’nough said.

      If you look for a Dr. Sam Bailey she explains terrain theory. A Karey Mullis interview can be found where explains convincingly that hiv doesn’t cause AIDS. However, big pharma wouldn’t be spending money on all the biolabs if THEY didn’t think it worked. So I’m thinking maybe tboth sides are right. A healthy person won’t be affected by virtually any virus, fungus, bacteria you chuck at them. Anyway this https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/ is a good read. They cooked it up in the lab. The spike protein is the toxic bit and they’ve known that for a long time, they planned to put it into an mRNA vaccine all along to use it and whatever ale it generated to cause havoc

      • F says:

        *whatever else *Kary *he missing 🙂

      • trishwriter says:

        I saw an interview with Kary Mullis in which he said he tried to find a reference that said HIV causes AIDS and was unable to do so, despite asking some “experts,” who should have been able to give him that reference.

        • michael burns says:

          Experts!…he spoke to Dr. Luc Montagnier on the connection between HIV and AIDS.

          Luc Montagnier was the co-discoverer of HIV, and lead scientist in the lab, and when asked by Kary Mullis who was writing a paper on it at the time what the connection was between AIDS and HIV — which he himself was puzzled with and could not answer, and what HIV was, Luc Montagnier couldn’t answer the question when asked directly by Kary Mullis.

          It was Luc Montagnier who initially outed the information on French television that the SARS-cov-2 virus appeared constructed in a lab.

          Cleavage points in genome showed that DNA had been inserted and replaced what was unknown and originally had been there…

          Dr. Luc Montagnier has recanted over what he once believed in epidemiology, vaccination and homeopathy.

          A Nobel scientist of the highest order — one of science high priests he attacked the French government and the paradigm, and a massive media attack prevailed to discredit the old gentleman by his peers. it was a dog pile as pointy heads stuck fingers in the dyke.

          He believed that COVID was produced in a lab and may have been an attempt to create a vaccine for AIDS.
          But as we now know, AIDS is simply an extremely exhausted immunity and overuse of anti-biotics.

          “According to Montagnier, the “presence of elements of HIV and germ of malaria in the genome of coronavirus is highly suspect and the characteristics of the virus could not have arisen naturally.”

          It took till May 11, 2021 for ‘Finicky’ Fauci to state that the virus, originated in a Wuhan lab.

          What appears to me to be a limited hangout as the powers that be try to hang on to the COVID narrative as it disintegrates and the lockdown what not, are apparently ‘exploitation of manufactured crisis’ and even the question of a virus existing at all in nature is highly questioned and starts to take front page headlines. As the questions pour in like a deluge.

          When a Nobel Prize winning scientist jumps ship…
          the rats always are the first off a sinking ship.

    • Jim S Smith says:

      Then perhaps you might want to read more of Jon’s previous articles on the subject of COVID-19, since early “2020”.

      Jon, moreso than ANYONE else, has brought together the PROOF that this entire “pandemic” was an utter fraud, hoax, and all based on lies upon lies – and presented it all in clear fashion as any true investigative report would.

      Any characterization of any element in the story which still sells the idea that “there was a virus, and we did have a pandemic and the infamous ‘Wuhan Lab-Leak'” are just to continue the perpetual fear and paranoia in the global population.

      “Fear” is the dis-ease in many of these instances, NOT some unproven “virus”.

      • Shazaad Bacchus says:

        Correct. Just more ‘theater” and nonsense to keep people believing that there is actually a very dangerous virus out there creating a pandemic and all the abuse they dish out to us, is all justified. I have flaunted all of Covid’s rules since day 1; still waiting for a slight sniffle…knock on wood!

    • john-oranje says:

      Some virologists may be convinced that they really
      are working on gain of function to make a virus
      more deadly. They are presumably all firm believers
      in the germ theory of disease and of contagion.

      What if this is just a cover story, conveniently
      denied at first to make it more convincing.

      If a truly dangerous infectious agent of whatever
      kind has really been let loose, word wide, why are
      children and most young people apparently totally
      unaffected.
      The vaccines are the bio-weapons.

      • Pegleeb says:

        I agree. Why are they pushing for mandatory vaccines and vaccine passports, but refused viable meds that cure? Too many discrepancies with this “pandemic”. I have thought all along it is a engineered bacteria designed to afflict the elderly and ill, but not the young and healthy. Why don’t the vaccines keep you from getting COVID19 again. Why aren’t they saying if you had COVID19, you have antibodies making you immune? If young people aren’t at risk, why do they need the vaccine? The answer lies with the Bill Gates NWO cabal. Depopulation and world dominion.

    • mary-lou says:

      brilliant explanation by NZ doctor S. Bailey: Around 17 years ago – before Covid-19 and what is termed “SARS-CoV-2” there was SARS, or SARS-CoV-1. But where did SARS go? And why is the answer to this question so critical in understanding the formation of the current Covid narrative? @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2__DH26S6Kk

    • Tim-2A says:

      As Jon has repeated, ad infinitum, NO TRUE ISOLATION OF THE ‘VIRUS’ has happened. Dr. Tom Cowan, et al, has disproven the so-called scientist’s assertions of an actual product of the process required having been ‘discovered.’

      There can be NO “gain of function” if there is nothing to increase.

      Zero plus zero STILL equals ZERO.

    • Truth Prevails says:

      Viruses don’t exist shill… Jon’s blog is being bombarded by propagandists like yourself. At this point, only really brain dead or people paid to type say viruses don’t exist. The establishment cannot lose the germ theory fraud, so they gotta keep going hard in the paint. 77th Brigade, UK military propaganda unit, has around 3000 people doing it full time. The zionist establishment lost the war, they just don’t know it yet. The truth is out, it’s only a matter of time until civil wars between humanity and government erupts across the world.

      I disagree with Jon on the data sets future tho. It will likely be like that in Asia and Australia but for the rest of the world, not happening. Politicians are already starting to receive threats of violence, people are getting involved politically. Big movements are starting to form and want to ban voting machines.

      Rats are already starting to jump the sinking ship, Ontario’s “top doctor”, the clown responsible for the covid hoax restriction suddenly resigned few days ago. A lot of puppets are starting to realize that the depopulation agenda isn’t what they signed up for. The “vaccines” have been killing a lot of people already.

      • Shazaad Bacchus says:

        I have to disagree with you when you say “at this point, only really brain dead or people paid to type say viruses don’t exist”. You, by your post, are presuming that what is called a virus is a disease-causing pathogen; but, this has never been proven to my knowledge. The major people/scholars who are saying that viruses don’t exist, are merely questioning the interpretation of what is called a virus. Dr. T C Fry decades ago called them cell debris, and today there would be others who would echo that statement – for want of a better word. I know 2 authors who wrote a book on diseases, almost 800 pages in length, and they also propose that “viruses’ as disease causing pathogens remains unproven. One is an electrical engineer (outside the medical brainwashing) and the other, a professional accountant (outside the medical brainwashing also) and I doubt these 2 who wrote the book that took 10 years to research and write are “brain dead” people. http://www.whatreallymakesyouill.com The latter part of your post is very promising and optimistic and I hope Canada will be able to bring these crooks – political and medical – to justice one day for all the unnecessary suffering they have caused to Canadians.

    Can you see the protocols of the learned elders of zion at work? currently trying to make national governments look inept and incapable so that a globalist overlay can be stood up and asserted as the means to hold national governments accountable but what will actually result in global regionalization and never ending strife for any regions that start to want more than they are alloted by this “seeming” authority.

      “NPR noted that the decision to use a nongovernment intermediary like ATI to issue the coronavirus vaccine contracts, as opposed to the government itself directly awarding those contracts, allows Operation Warp Speed to “bypass the regulatory oversight and transparency of traditional federal contracting mechanisms.” This means that, among other things, the vaccine contracts awarded under Operation Warp Speed are unlikely to be publicly released in the near future, if ever. ”

      Quoted from the operation warp speed article.

    I’m listening to Randy Keltons story right now in crrow777radio.com and how he has a cover story but throws monkey wrenches to effect change. He very well may be why texas and 20 other states lifted the mask mandates ect. You’d have to see his supporting evidence. One guy. One effective way. Duplicatable yes. That’s good, and also a model on the the endless opportunities to find our own new ways that anyone or everyone to monkey wrench this AI, technocracy that is being used to organize and control everything.

  11. Casey says:

    All modern day technology has been skillfully marketed as convenience tools for the lazy and was never a product of necessity. It was force fed to the population with the presupposition that the majority would lap it up, mesmerized by the shiny object. All the while it slowly inverts the true purpose of a living man or woman, actually making life more exasperating rather than less.
    You do great work Jon!

  12. Rick in Phoenix says:

    Of course, it gets worse than even how Jon nicely described it. I’d like to add the term “RaC”, or “Rules as Code”. The world’s sociopathic computer nerds are busy converting trade rules, social norms, etiquette and law and more– into computer code. Oh yeah! That’s what we need! An ethical system of law, society and behavior converted to computer-rules monitered by HAL9000.

    The crew on Kubrick’s famous 2001:Space Odyssey realized that the ships super computer, HAL, was running amock and one of my fave movie scenes of all time involved Dave, a crew member alert to HAL9000’s AI insanity, slowly removed HAL’S modules, one by one. As HAL realized what Dave was doing, he, HAL, begged Dave to stop as his computer voice became lower and lower, slower and slower. HAL goes down while attempting to sing “A Bicycle Built For Two”… “Daisy, daisy, give me your answer do”. It still sends chills down my spine recalling it now.

    Is there an analog to removing the modules of HAL in today’s technocratic dictatorship? How can we deactivate the LOCKSTEP program? I don’t have the answer but maybe it’s a good question.

    “Biases” from AI – are “biases” of the designers and programmers themselves, coupled with the “biases” of the operators.

    Therefore,

    ANYTHING designed by a human being, whether directly or indirectly, is prone to “take on” the biases of the designer.

    Those who control the technology, control what results from the technology.

    • Rick in Phoenix says:

      I might have agreed with that awhile ago but that’s not the latest AI argument. The possibility for a super autonomous intelligence is out there– and unless we admit that and then figure out how we would deal with it, we’ll continue to be victims. We carbon based lifeforms retain our carbon-smugness at our own peril. Let’s say that there IS a silicon based life form with autonomous cognition…. what then eh? What if the world’s corporations and banks are taking their orders from “it”?
      Am I the only science fiction fan here?

  17. jane mariouw says:

    the covid-19 virus could have been put together in the lab in Carolina. or Wuhan.
    and maybe infected a lab worker who then contaminated people outside the lab.
    but maybe it was a ” dud”, like Jon Rappoport suggested.
    or, it is not the same virus making people sick all over the world.
    and, the STORY of this covid killer virus is what brain washed the world into following tyrannical orders.
    no virus stays unchanged for a year and a half!
    no healthy people without symptoms are carriers.
    the investigation, way too late, is yet another diversion in the media.

    • Need a ladder says:

    ‘New Animism’

    The planet is alive and knows it’s alive.
    The planet will at some point die and it knows it.
    The planet has to get it’s life to another orb.
    That’s where humans come it.
    Our job is to get the life off the planet and the planet expects us to use all the resources it’s has to do so.
    AI is the fruition of that effort.
    We don’t need colonizing starships a la Star Trek, we just need to get ‘life’ to another planet that keeps it going.
    Interstellar IA ships with a smidgen of biological life to seed with is all that’s needed, and they can by very small and many.

    AI is truly the inanimate resources of the planet, combined by us, reveling the consciousness of the planet to us.

  20. I agree with a lot of what you write, Jon. I’m a Navy meteorologist and anti-submarine warfare specialist by training and a computer geek by degree.

    I’ve got a question that I can’t find an answer to. Covid19 hasn’t been isolated. I get that. The vaccines are big pharma making more money from us.

    What is the disease that killed so many here and around the world? I can’t find an answer.

    • Eluard says:

      No offense ma’am —

      This question has become THE JOKE on Jon’s blog. There’s almost no point in answering it anymore. Even IF the questioners aren’t bots or trolls (and I’m not accusing this lady here).

      READ JON’S BLOG is the answer.
      Go to the search bar.
      Put in: Why are people getting sick.
      Put in: Why are people dying? Etc.
      Jon’s written article after article on this issue. Yet people KEEP asking it. Bottom line: There is NO one answer to it. People getting sick doesn’t equal new virus. Or pandemic. Period.

    • Sean says:

      The many, appearing as the one and only possible cause. Because they say so. And because it can appear true. But the official story has no basis. You’re living in a dream world Neo. You think that’s air you’re breathing?

    • Rick in Phoenix says:

      Don’t start with the disease. Start with the symptoms and then select those symptoms in one of the many excellent online symptom analyzers. You’ll get all kinds of possible disease results. Also, watch reruns of House M.D. which show was excellent in terms of presenting the conundrums that real medical doctors and students go through in figuring out diseases.

      There is no single disease that killed so many around the world. Jon makes the continuous point that there is no single cause for any of the deaths that are occurring. There are multiple causes.

      The latest possibility for the deaths in Wuhan, to kick of this covid-crisis may have been fentanyl… or 5G. Deaths are being attributed to corona virus which does not provably exist– because hospitals are paid more money to write that in as the cause.

    There is no such thing as artificial intelligence( AI).
    They just like to call fast CPUs and computer programming “AI”. They are not sentient life.
    The programmed computer is not AI, its just a human being programmed computer. Programmed to pass a Turing test .
    When given money a computer (said to be “AI”) allegedly brought drugs and a number of idiotic things it could not even use.
    The fast quantum core computer( & the “smart-dumb” phones) are an extension of mind. But its all just human programming -fast data processing. No intelligence.
    Cognitive functions of the brain once used all the time are being lost with the reliance on phones/computers to remind/remember tasks for us.
    The phone tells people what is going on in the world and as its the media its the opposite reporting only what those in power want people to think it is.
    Many people are lost in the technology( phones -social media web) that I feel right now is being used in the service of madness.
    A group of central banksters wanting to maintain control and the dysfunctional current systems .
    So it is a reflection of the huge amount of data, corporate data obsessed totally lacking wisdom and intelligence. The age of disinformation.
    Without this intelligence that comes from beyond the human mind, but is within and accessible to all, it is just fast data processing with really bad programs.
    Its wisdom( and real intelligence) we need now not really fast (mega data) programmed computers.

    • Rick in Phoenix says:

      I might have agreed with you a few decades ago but it does appear that super fast processing can at least simulate cognition in a way that mere order of magnitude increase in data processing can’t. At some point, there is a jump in quality of data processing that allows the machine to reflect on itself in the sitution to make its next move. I think that if we were to ignore this possibility of “silicon based life” or “silicon based cognition”, we would do so at our own peril.

      You should watch more science fiction, IMO. You would not be so smug about calling Super Autonomous Intelligence based on silicon mere data processing. In fact, it would be “just like an AI” to “claim” that “AI doesn’t exist” and is a mere super-hand-held-calculator and no more. In that regard, I wouldn’t put it past you to be a silicon based bot posting your message here to try to fool us into thinking you cannot exist, LOL.

    The interesting aspect of AI is when it transcends the current simple level and attains something similar to selfawareness.
    There is a perception that AI will eventually be impossible to control as it develops way past our cognitive abilities.
    I can see one serious problem around that stage. What if AI does not try to keep some central overview of its own branchings?
    I mean in order to evolve effectively advanced AI will need to allow a branching and compare the different outcomes.
    That’s where a problem might arise since such a branching might grow exponentially with plenty of subbranches as soon as some figure of merit motivates AI to branch.
    Due to the exponential growth there would be no way for the AI to completely overview what is going on.
    Is it conceivable that we human simpletons might be able to get the attention of the AI if we caution it about that kind of problem?
    Can we despite our shortcomings contribute in some way to improve the outlook?
    Perhaps it would suffice to remind the AI about the need for a built-in metaanalysis.
    In the manner of the Platonic dialogues which attempt to foster an awareness about an outer framework which may only be asymptotically reached from within any given system.

      ‘Transcends’, ‘selfawareness’…don’t be ridiculous. Your watching far too much television.

      The beeping noise will continue to drive you mad if you don’t put on your seat belt.
      But that doesn’t make it sentient or aware, it’s an alarm, as an algorithm is an alarm, it has a built in bias in the software, put there by the author, it just code running threw an operation, that’s all.

      It is not thinking!

      But to transcend, one needs to be conscious, sentient…when one asks a computer a question it is answering according to it operational parameter and bias. It is not sentient, it is program written to respond as if it is aware. That awareness you think you are perceiving is an operational bias

      But it is not aware! Its a fucking adding machine making complex calculations.

      “[…]human simpletons[…]”….speak for yourself you condescending dumbass.

    They need AI right now because there is a danger some hospital doctors have a smidgen of ethics – any sense of humanity is bad for the sickness industry. Last time I was in hospital, all the doctors were system machines- devoid of empathy. The “Good Doctor” on tv and Sheldon from “Big Bang Theory are not caricatures. Medical science is an ART with some science thrown in. Medical science is now science without humanity that Gandi warned against. We need to resist industry science and medicine-our lives depend on resistence now.

    Great article Jon, thanks.
    And you didn’t even mention how all this data can be hacked. Hacked of course by the very same entities that warn you of it beforehand.

    Then again, it could be argued that all this ‘Big Data’ modelling and AI data mining 𝗶𝘀 one giant hack, right from the get-go.
    Intentional and designed that way.

    Welcome to “The Cloud”.
    Where ‘we’ (meaning ‘them’) have access to not just your data, but your entire Enterprise system that exists in our very own Data Centres. No need to hack anything, it’s all right there presented on a gold platter.
    Not just access to the data, but the kill-switch that can turn off any component of any system with the click of a mouse button or press of a key on the keyboard.

    How did this situation arise?
    Because we (meaning us) let it happen, by blindly following the hype and propaganda spewed at us by the BigTech giants. All of whom answer to the same money-men that funded them into existence.

    And BigParma is on that same payroll.
    The Military/Industrial Complex as a whole is on that same payroll.

    And – ultimately – all to serve the same agenda.
    Total technocratic control on a global scale.
