Ford seeks to remotely repossess cars after missed payments in US patent

Behind on your car payments? Your car could soon be driving itself to the pound. Ford Motor Company has applied for a patent that would enable a computer to disable a vehicle or component of a vehicle over delinquent car payments and could lead to cars self-driving themselves to repossession lots.

The patent application published last month claims to seek a solution to car owners being unwilling to have their vehicles repossessed by remotely disabling the vehicle or a component of the vehicle if a delinquency notice isn’t acknowledged over a certain period of time.

Healing the World?

… A report from the RAND Corporation revealed the enormous and unsustainable cost of this domestic invasion. Along with the destructive and bloody terror attacks visited regularly upon host nations and the consequent disruption of civil life, it is estimated “that since 2004, terrorism has cost the EU about €185 billion in lost Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and around €5.6 billion in lost lives, injuries, and damage to infrastructure. It is argued that terrorism also harms trade, foreign direct investment, and tourism… as well as transport.” The cost continues to mount. As for “merrie olde England,” it is pretty well cooked.

The U.S. and my own country, Canada, are by no means exempt from the economic and demographic catastrophe that awaits them as a result of such migration and refugee flows. Kaye Forest and Sierra Rayne, in an American Thinker article analyzing the RAND report, go one better than Donald Trump in advocating “a complete moratorium on further immigration from the geographies and ideologies of concern.”

The longer Justin Trudeau stalls, the more he looks like he has something to hide

Justin Trudeau looked smug, arrogant and embattled on Friday, when his frustration from the past week bubbled up and landed on Brittany Hobson, the sixth reporter in line at his Winnipeg news conference.

Hobson had asked how Canadians could trust our elections hadn’t been influenced by foreign actors when the information supporting those claims was shrouded in secrecy, and wasn’t an uninformed public distrustful of the democratic process a threat to society?

“I’m pretty sure everything I’ve said over the past 20 minutes answered that question, but I will do it one more time, just for The Canadian Press,” the prime minister said with a smile.

Process for informing Canadians of election interference designed to keep us in the dark

The chances Canadians are ever going to be informed of serious interference in our federal elections by bad actors such as China, Russia and Iran — or domestic supporters acting on their behalf — are somewhere between slim and none and slim just left town.

U.S. regulators rejected Elon Musk’s bid to test brain chips in humans, citing safety risks

On at least four occasions since 2019, Elon Musk has predicted that his medical device company, Neuralink, would soon start human trials of a revolutionary brain implant to treat intractable conditions such as paralysis and blindness.

Yet the company, founded in 2016, didn’t seek permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) until early 2022 – and the agency rejected the application, seven current and former employees told Reuters.

The rejection has not been previously reported. In explaining the decision to Neuralink, the agency outlined dozens of issues the company must address before human testing, a critical milestone on the path to final product approval, the staffers said. The agency’s major safety concerns involved the device’s lithium battery; the potential for the implant’s tiny wires to migrate to other areas of the brain; and questions over whether and how the device can be removed without damaging brain tissue, the employees said.

The Vanishing

The erasure of Jews from American life

Suddenly, everywhere you look, the Jews are disappearing.

You feel it like a slow moving pressure system, an anxiety of exclusion and downward mobility. Maybe you first noticed it at your workplace. Or maybe it hit when you or your children applied to college or graduate school. It could have been something as simple as opening up the Netflix splash page. It’s gauche to count but you can’t help yourself: In academia, Hollywood, Washington, even in New York City—anywhere American Jews once made their mark—our influence is in steep decline.

Someone seems to notice that the crocodile is not going to eat them last.

San Francisco reparations and the Golden Age of Revision

White Slaves in Africa ~ Forgotten History of the Sultans & Barbary Pirates

For just $5 million per person, we can rid ourselves of the iron burden of truth

We live in the Golden Age of Revision. Not everyone has noticed, so let me mention some of the highlights of the art of the Michelangelos and Monets of the revisionist moment.

First, of course, we have found the path to revising birth certificates and chromosomes on the matter of an individual’s sex, or as we have been taught to say, gender. This is revision par excellence, but only the beginning.

Common Sense Points to a Lab Leak

Denials from authorities seemed political all along, and public trust will take a long time to recover.

Government finagling and misdirecting, especially in crises, are destructive to the long-term public good. And in the end they’re always destructive to personal reputations.

The Journal last Sunday upended an old debate with a big exclusive: The Energy Department has told the White House it believes a lab leak was the most likely source of the Covid-19 pandemic. As reporters Michael R. Gordon and Warren P. Strobel noted, the department’s new stand is important because it results from new intelligence and because of the agency’s expertise—it oversees a network of labs. Two days later Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, confirmed the FBI’s view that it was “most likely a potential lab incident . . . a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.”

Canada’s banks brace for possible wave of loan defaults

Earnings week for Canada’s biggest banks saw the country’s major lenders move in lockstep ahead of a projected economic downturn, with each putting more money away for a possible rise in credit losses.

Experts say the more expensive cost of borrowing in Canada and the possibility of job losses could catch up to households and push a growing number into default, though some believe the worst of the debt pain is likely at least a year away.

Race to get last children out of Bakhmut as city becomes ‘hell on earth’

War breeds euphemism and metaphor. In the battle for the Donbas city of Bakhmut, threatened with a closing encirclement by Russian forces after seven months of bitter fighting, there are “White Angels” and “Dark Angels”, the “road of life” (the Bakhmut-Lysychansk highway, which is anything but) and the “Invincibility Centre”.

The White Angels, a police evacuation group, scour the lethal districts of the shell-ruined city to evacuate children and the elderly.
