The Internet’s Vanishing Memory

Trump, Reiner, and Orwell – the harbinger of technological progressivism just stole another piece of our collective minds as AI never stops working and is never paid overtime. You should be scared…and Lord help you, you owe it to yourself to be aware.

Historical Truth at Computer Speed
Historical truth is being rewritten at computer speeds your mind cannot phantom – eventually erased. YOU DID IT! Maybe you didn’t mean to…but that’s the playbook…use emotions in any direction to tell a surface story…stay focused on that…and remain ignorant about what is really happening. I often call it, chasing the rabbits in front of you, ignoring the stampeding elephants charging from behind – Yes…The awareness of the real danger comes too late.

A Eureka Moment in 2020
My eureka-moment arose while writing my first Amazon #1 Bestselling Fiction Thriller, Deceit of the Soul, in February 2020 – about the real reasons for the COVID-19 pandemic. An AI algorithm even banned the book for a while on Google and the London Times – a human had to override the ban – it is a fiction novel, isn’t it???

The Research Rabbit Hole
I am a research gunky with some formal science, statistics, and geopolitical background. In 2019, I read 100s of papers about the development of the coronavirus in nature, in the lab, and WHY this relatively harmless, little virus that thrives around the world has been the primo-beast of gain-of-function research since the 1990s – including disappeared scientists. I would warn friends and relatives about the publicly touted misinformation and missing information…and I was promptly brushed away. “So, why don’t you write a book about it?” So, I did! Sometimes the truth can only be told in fiction.

When Your Saved Sources Disappear
Some research I printed off, some I stored in files on my laptop as “links”, and some I converted the format and saved it in Word or a PDF. I made simple notes so I could go back to other articles or research studies.

IT’S THE SLOW CREEP OF TECH-ERASE!
IT’S THE SLOW CREEP OF TECH-ERASE! Intentionally, you typically don’t notice it. If I clicked a SAVED link…the info and link were GONE!

More Often. Then POOF.
This began happening more frequently as days went on. Stuff I had recently read – POOF!

A Tragedy, Then a Trump Post
NOW…quite tragically, Rob and Michelle Reiner were killed by their son in a most gruesome act of hate. Then, President Trump posts a backhanded statement of condolences that mimics the thousands of less-than-half-hearted statements following the attempted Trump assassinations and the horrific slaying of Charlie Kirk.

Trump’s Purpose and the Spice
One thing we know about President Trump – he tells us what he’s thinking, AND he typically has a purpose, knowingly infusing the spice.

The Statement, and the Skipped Parts
Trump stated, “A very sad thing happened last night [ skip, for now]…once a very talented movie director and comedy star passed away [skip]…May Rob and Michele rest in peace.
And the skipped parts? Basically, Trump said Reiner had changed and honestly pointed out that since 2016, Reiner had an obsession with making false public statements of hate and dehumanization to bring down Trump in the most vile manner, including harsh, violent rhetoric. “He’s a sociopath!” “I’m telling you if he either doesn’t get removed through the impeachment process or he wins re-election, that will be the end of 243 years of self-rule.” “Trump killed over 135,000 Americans…he wants to kill us all.” In a prolonged story of Reiner’s Jewish ancestors, Reiner said, “Trump is a Nazi…bringing in Nazi Authority! We no longer have a democracy!”

The Russia Committee and the Long Game
Even after the Russian Hoax dossier was debunked, Reiner continued to raise millions of dollars to start The Committee to Investigate Russia…for the purpose of de-hoaxing the proven hoax. His movie promotion interviews were more about dehumanizing Trump than his movie.

TDS, Rhetoric, and Cultural Damage
Trump is not done with his storyline about those with public platforms who openly demonstrate their TDS (and it is real). Trump will talk about TDS leading to the destruction of the family fabric, the threats and violence against law enforcement, and the cultural damage of misguided rhetoric grounded in emotional beliefs, not facts or verifiable sources.

Distraction as Strategy
Most of us would not have written the post that President Trump did. However, we are not the President, nor Trump. There’s more to come on top of it, dragging into a meaningless social media debate, purposely distracting from some of those BIG issues going on that actually impact you.

NOW BACK TO MY POINT
NOW BACK TO MY POINT. I could almost quote dozens of highly false, derogatory, and inflammatory statements Reiner made about Trump over the past nine years. Trump’s post was calling those statements into play.

Searching, and Finding a Vacuum
The researcher in me started “Googling” specific statements Reiner made about Trump. Guess what? Most have been erased…Google, YouTube, Yahoo, and major news media. Deviating from my search prompts, AI pulls up hundreds of posts about Reiner’s recent comments calling Kirk’s assassination “horrific”…. Even with very specific search requests, the Internet leaves some more bland comments (bland for Reiner)…but not the hundreds of vehement posts you could find last week. Perhaps 90% of the hits are about Trump’s post, and Reiner saying the video of Kirk’s assassination is horrific – regardless of the specific search prompts.

Cleansed in Less Than 12 Hours
AI is so quick that a few clever algorithm lines elegantly cleansed the Internet from showing the rather deranged, false, and violent rhetoric espoused by Reiner – IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS, on every most common platform. And AI is only getting faster, more efficient, and perhaps smarter.

Groupthink and the Emotional Lever
I don’t care what you think about Reiner’s political stances or his words, nor Trump’s. Those who know that social media can control (or at least heavily bias) social normative influence, a/k/a “groupthink,” is my concern.
Your emotions are getting played by those controlling the Internet. The best way to counter an opponent, or even attempt to win a friend, is to play on their emotions.

Independent Thinking Thingy
Perhaps you should consider finding all of the facts, exercise that independent thinking thingy…and be very mindful of how AI can so quickly and elegantly change the game, the rules, and your thoughts.

Orwell, and How We Got Here
This media escapade is not about Reiner or Trump…it’s about Orwell and how we got here.
