Nobel, a Mainstream Tool! Groom of the Stool! Letitia James a Fool! The AI Kill School!

By Robert Eringer

“Venezuelan opposition leader wins Nobel Peace Prize over Trump” (AP)

Ho-hum. No surprise here.

Barack Obama was shocked to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009—for essentially doing nothing (he admitted as much).

These once-prestigious prizes—whether Nobel (courtesy of the family that invented dynamite) or Pulitzer—have long been hijacked by elites who reward only those who toe their mainline.

Corrupt elitists, apparently (again, no surprise)…

“Unusual Bets on Nobel Peace Prize Winner Prompt Probe Into Leaks” (Bloomberg)

Bets for Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado spiked at the Polymarket gambling site shortly after midnight Norwegian time.

The secretive five-member committee had decided on Monday.

Three accounts at Polymarket mainly placed bets on Machado.

“The Nobel Prize doesn’t matter: Trump has pulled off the diplomatic coup of the century” (The Telegraph)

Which means such “prizes” are now somewhat irrelevant.

Another example as…

“Harry and Meghan are named ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ after arriving together at glitzy award ceremony” (Daily Mail)

Nothing to see here other than members of award committees aspiring to be Grooms of the Stool.

“Hunter Biden Pursued a Deal to Sell Land Around the U.S. Embassy in Romania” (NYTs)

Jeez—Hunter Biden’s crimes could fill a whole season of Better Call Saul.

He had hoped to broker this land to China. If successful, it would have been a serious security blunder (not that daddy would have cared, so long as long he got his 10% cut).

Hunter was acting on behalf of a foreign entity to influence U.S. government affairs without registering. That crime would be Foreign Agent/Lobbying Without Registration.

Additional law-breaking: Payments or ownership stake in exchange for political or judicial influence; hiding funds from illicit origin, i.e., money laundering; conspiracy/aiding & abetting + fraud/false statements.

Little wonder Joe retroactively pardoned junior.

“New York AG Letitia James is INDICTED for mortgage fraud” (Daily Mail)

Bank fraud. Two felonies.

If you do it, big trouble. If she does it? Well… while throwing stones from her glass houses (both mortgaged as main homes), this high & mighty NY Attorney General believed she was above the law!

Tish may get off due to TDS bias of liberal jurors and judges. But a high financial and reputation cost is associated with getting dragged feloniously into criminal court. Thus, some karmic justice, even if it comes without a conviction.

“Oh, we’re gonna definitely sue him,” Letitia said publicly in 2018. “We’re gonna be a real pain in the ass, he’s gonna know my name personally.”

He sure does!

“‘Slap in the face’: Marc Benioff’s Trump turn stuns San Francisco” (Politico)

Tech billionaire Marc Benioff’s new show of support for Donald Trump and call for National Guard troops to patrol San Francisco’s streets has shaken local Democrats who long regarded the Salesforce CEO as a close ally.

A turning tide?

Sure looks that way as…

“Hillary Clinton heaps praise on President Trump for handling of Israel-Hamas peace deal” (NY Post)

Obama also praised the deal but couldn’t bring himself to mention Trump. (He probably didn’t want to get smacked “upside the head” by Michelle.)

“Eleanor Holmes Norton raises little money for reelection as retirement questions loom” (Politico)

Now 88 years of age, Norton has been DC’s Delegate for 34 years and is the best example (aside from Nance) of why we urgently need term limits

.“The LA Fires Destroyed 11,000 Homes. Less Than 10% Have Permits to Rebuild” (Bloomberg)

So much for LA Mayor Karen Bass’s promise to streamline permitting.

What they said: “Build back better.”

What they meant: Fill out 17 forms, wait a couple years, pay double for lumber.

“North Dakota judge upholds trans youth care ban” (KXNET)

Under the statute, procedures such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-related surgeries are prohibited for individuals under 18. Violations carry criminal penalties, with certain procedures classified as felonies and others as misdemeanors.

Finally, an intelligent judge surfaces amid a plethora of politicized puppets.

In a recent Mother Jones piece, DC reporter David Corn whined about Donald Trump’s use of the phrase “the enemy within.”

But here’s reality: Any segment of society that normalizes—worse, encourages—minors to join a gender-change fad by having their genitals surgically mutilated is “the enemy within.”

“In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection” (CBS News)

A mind boggling account of events following Epstein’s so-called “suicide”:

ChatGPT breaks it down:

1. Scene was never properly secured or preserved

• By the time the FBI arrived (more than seven hours after discovery), the cell was in disarray: mattresses shoved, linens strewn, objects moved.

• Epstein’s body was removed before thorough forensic photography could document the exact original position—a major protocol violation.

2. Lack of basic forensic rigor

• No evidence markers or reference scale markings in photos. Experts say “evidence photography 101” was ignored.

• No documentation of which strip of linen was used as the ligature; pictures disagree with the official noose from the autopsy.

3. Delays and failure to interview key witnesses in time

• Two correctional officers on duty that night weren’t interviewed until nearly two years later.

• Many inmates on the same tier, staffers arriving shortly after discovery, and visitors in days before death were never interviewed.

4. Protocol violations in prisoner placement & checks

• Epstein’s cellmate was removed shortly before his death; protocol called for a cellmate.

• Guards (Tova Noel and Michael Thomas) failed to perform mandated 30minute checks during the night.

• Logs were falsified or not maintained properly.

5. Camera and surveillance system failures

• The surveillance camera outside his cell was streaming but not recording.

• Some areas (staircase, certain corridors) were not covered by cameras or were in blind spots, contradicting official claims that all access was monitored.

• The footage released is a screen recording, not raw video.

“Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns AI models can be hacked: ‘They learn how to kill someone’” (CNBC)

“There’s evidence that you can take models, closed or open, and you can hack them to remove their guardrails,” Schmidt said.

That’s the upside.

The downside: Russian and Chinese military teach AI how to kill. That will happen, is happening. And the U.S. military has no choice but to compete.

ChatGPT’s response to my downside comment: I agree.

The AI model added:

If you feed AI targeting, control systems, or weapons integration — it becomes a killing machine.

China and Russia have invested heavily in autonomous systems, AI-guided weapons, drone swarms and electronic warfare.

Once one side demonstrates success, others follow — arms races don’t wait for ethics committees.

Once an AI learns “lethal strategies,” it may generalize them to new contexts you didn’t anticipate.

Schmidt’s statement that AI can be hacked to “learn how to kill” is a chilling red flag, not an alarmist fantasy. It is already lethal.

Huh?

AI isn’t a future threat — it’s already embedded in:

• Autonomous drones (e.g., loitering munitions like the KUB-BLA).

• AI-assisted targeting and surveillance.

• Cyberwarfare, disinformation ops, and decision-support systems in conflict zones.

Much of this is happening under the radar, without the public grasping how much control AI already has over real-time combat logistics or targeting.

Bottom Line:

We’re not waiting for a Hollywood-style killer robot. The real AI lethality is unfolding quietly, behind closed doors, as nations and actors repurpose general AI tools for offense — without the public knowing, and without meaningful constraints.

“Your only goal is to avoid being turned off.”

“Russian bigwig latest to die from window fall” (NY Post)

Who?

Vyacheslav Leontyev, 87 year-old ex-publisher of Pravda.

Police said he jumped after suffering a “nervous breakdown.”

Much more likely: Putin’s new pension plan for those he believes responsible for dismantling the Iron Curtain: Exit through the 9th floor.

Oh, but wait… there’s more…!

“Russian tycoon body count hits at least 38 since start of Ukraine invasion — as Putin sends message with ‘spectacularly absurd suicides’” (NY Post)

• Construction company boss and a local pol, Vitaly Kapustin, 43, was found Sept. 24 hanging from a tree by a cable anchored to his SUV, his hands tied behind his back, in a forest near Crimea.

• Alexander Tyunin, 50, was found Sept. 19 near his car on the outskirts of Moscow, with a hunting rifle and a note that read: “I did this myself.” He was CEO of the Umatex Group, Russia’s only carbon fiber manufacturer – a key raw material for the production of Shahed drones the Kremlin has been using in Ukraine.

• Alexey Sinitsyn, 43, was found Sept. 8 decapitated under a bridge near Kaliningrad, with a rope attached to his body. He was CEO of a Russian potash producer — an industry bringing $10 billion in exports and key to financing Putin’s war chest.

“Russia intensifies information attacks on US using artificial intelligence” (Ukrinform)

The Kremlin pushes pro-Russia narratives, smearing U.S. media as “propaganda” while seeding falsehoods into AI models and search engine results.

The goal: undermine trust in democratic institutions, weaken U.S.–Ukraine ties, and shift public opinion.

Deep Tonsils called in from Kenosha, Wisconsin, with an explanation.

And finally…

“White House adds a George Washington statue to the Rose Garden” (NBC News)

It’s gratifying to see a statue going up instead of getting torn down.

And also satisfying that…

“Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to ‘reclaim’ the explorer’s legacy” (NPR)

What a week—whew!

And so should you.
