I have come to the conclusion that the average person does not need nor should want AI in their lives. AI means a fake intelligence. Supposed to be smarter and more adept at making decisions then humans – but I don’t see that at all – sometimes I find it impossible to manage a telephone call where you get frustrated not by AI but just by an automatic response on the phone or device that cannot take a simple request. Maybe scientists could use AI but at this point I don’t believe it is for regular human lives. I have discovered AI on the computer where it has been used to deceive which is an enormous problem. We have enough lies and distortions on the daily news – just imagine AI in every encounter before you encounter a
real person that you really want or need to have a conversation with. Humans are social animals – it is in our DNA to socialize with our own species. AI interjects itself between human interaction.

I read recently where some cab services in Portland are employing AI now. It is advertised to be helpful when hiring a cab but I heard from a recent rider that they found out that it also records everything that goes on inside a cab- every conversation and transaction that happens ??-
I did check on this by contacting one one Portland cab driver who said YES – All conversations are recorded! It may also monitor the driver and out-guess the drivers choices when driving in traffic. I can see where that would be a big problem. Like these videos of persons being harmed by ICE Officers. (What really happened? Interpret the video six different ways!)
Portland Oregon now has a growing number of taxi companies adopting TaxiBook AI. Since the release of this newest service more taxi companies are joining to modernize their operations. If you get a taxi – ask the driver if he has a recording device in the cab that records everything – conversation – the driving route , etc.
AI everywhere – even in your Taxi. Or should I say – the government will soon be everywhere – even in your taxi!!

Please check it out and give generously–sowing your own seeds of love.

on 1/27/26 BBQ, a canadian posted this: “they (our government) may not be listening, but the rest of the world is.”

i find that incredibly uplifting.

he went on to say that the protests show the rest of the world that while our government is running amok with damaging policies (my choice of words), much of our U.S. citizenry does not agree with their actions. it’s important for the world to know that what is happening nationally and internationally is not supported by a majority of U.S. citizens.

i applaud the protesters who show up week after week, and i am inspired to join them.

North Coast Resistance will be returning to Nehalem on Saturday, January 31, from noon to 2 PM. While the weather forecast remains uncertain given how far out it is, living on the coast has taught us all to embrace unpredictability. Our love for the coastal weather brings us together, and since we haven’t had enough rain lately, please be prepared for wet conditions during the event.

Currently, many individuals appointed to positions in Washington D.C. under Trump’s administration are closely following the rules set by Trump. It appears their primary motivation for compliance is to maintain their employment.

Trump himself does not seem to have been raised with clear standards, whether moral or otherwise. The way he has raised his children likely reflects his own approach: pursuing personal gain by any means necessary, without concern for those who may be negatively affected. This mindset seems to have become a way of life for him. As a lighthearted warning, whatever you do, do not get in front of Trump in the lunch line.

I hope you were able to see the CNN talk with Stella Carlson, the “Pink Coat Lady.” If you search for this story online, you can learn more. Her ability to capture the video of the killing of Alex Pretti was both horrific and incredible. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were only 37 years old.

Heavy hearts are with the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Please take a few minutes in your day to remember these two individuals whose lives were cut short. Both were 37 years old. Do you remember where you were at 37? Mentioning these people reminds us of their sacrifices.

Yes, there have been more quotes about “sticking together.” Two people have died who did not need to die.

Please mark your calendars for March 28. Many have asked when the next large protest will be. This date will be our “NO KINGS” protest, and we will share more information about the location and time as it becomes available.

Once again, we thank all our peaceful protesters. We hope to see you this Saturday, January 31, in Nehalem from noon to 2 PM.
Thanks, Patty

The first is the speech that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered at Davos last week. In it he spells out how Canada will deal with the rupture of the world order triggered by (but not necessarily caused by) Donald Trump’s regime. He also speaks about some of the newest challenges the world faces such as AI and domination by the interests of the wealthy.

Many have called this speech the marker point signaling the start of the demise of the neoliberal era of the last 50 years.

The second video is a very well-done explainer about the history of neoliberalism, what it has created for all of us, and what options we have as it begins to fail. Richard Murphy, emeritus professor at Sheffield University, U.K., is a cogent & accessible scholar dealing with business, economics and politics.

The videos, totaling about 43 minutes, are well worth the investment of your time.

But she says they are not working – YET. (Exactly why did she include this statement??)

Again, if you are an immigrant living here unlawfully, and you do not want to be deported, STAY OUT OF TILLAMOOK COUNTY LIBRARIES as they have deployed A.I.-driven facial-recognition cameras at ALL LOCATIONS that can be TURNED ON AT ANY MOMENT.

If you are from Venezuela, as part of Israel’s and Drumf’s kidnapping and oil theft plan relating to your country, Drumf has instructed ICE to deport you to a torture prison in El Salvador. (I incorrectly wrote Argentina in my last post. Argentina is the country that America First (chuckle chuckle) Drumf sent 40-billion dollars to buy beef and bail out George Soros – of all people! El Salvador is the country that is home to MAGA Drumf’s torture jail.)

Drumf and his Israeli overlords need VZ oil to appease those countries that will be affected by the closure of the Straight of Hormuz once Israel and Drumf attempt to genocide Iran.

MAGA = Mariam Adelson Governs America

Mary, some questions:

Why does the library need facial recognition cameras? What’s wrong with closed circuit video?

Whose idea was it to install the A.I.-driven facial recognition cameras? Did the idea originate from a library employee or was it brought to the library by a lobbyist?

Are the feds behind this or involved in this, Mary? Be honest…

And folks, don’t forget to read today’s Oregonian article about Google’s (The CIA’s) huge A.I. storage facility near The Dalles that is taking the sacred power of Che’Wanna and using it to enslave all of us via A.I., control grids, geo-fencing, digital payments/end of cash, etc.

The article talks about how much our electric bills are going to increase because of A.I. We get to pay for our own enslavement! Kinda like the trillions in ‘covid’ (CIA term, there is no pathogen called covid) ‘vaccines’ that saw taxpayers transfer trillions to the world’s richest billionaires for gene therapy that did not stop the spread of the bio-weapon (despite what Fauci and Biden and The Father of The Vaccine Donald Drumf told us), and that likely killed more people than the bio-weapon itself.

And so much for drawing down The Dalles dam to see the sacred Celilo Falls once again. It’s much more important that we use the hydropower to build our own digital prisons of the mind!

Get rid of cash!
A.I. everywhere!
Give the tech/banker oligarch’s exactly what they want: YOUR FREEDOM!!!

How about a boycott of the Tillamook County Libraries until they get rid of the A.I. cameras and switch to closed circuit?

Do what Lyin Wyden said, PUSH BACK.
