This has always been the plan! They want a captive market in schools/universities and for those institutions to eventually automate education with their chatbots. We are TRAINING these LLMs in preparation for our redundancy, and experimenting with the health and futures of children while we do it

I can't tell you if releasing the Amelia Earhart files was done with the purest of intentions It's worth noting that Rep. Kimberlyn King-Hinds, the delegate from the Mariana Islands, specifically asked for these to be declassified in August.

Seeking more light on the Marianas role in the Amelia Earhart story
A few weeks ago, I met with members of the community who have spent years seeking answers about the disappearance of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart—particularly the pieces of her story tied to the Marianas. While much remains unknown, many of our elders remain firm in their belief that she was seen on Saipan, and that our islands may hold a key role in this chapter of American history. During our meeting, I committed to supporting efforts to uncover the truth.

We all know the problem is much bigger than Fentanyl. — Canada is in a key strategic position. — We share a 5,525 mile-long border. — And it’s a gateway to the Arctic. Meanwhile, Canada has basically rolled over on her back while CCP, Iran, and other hostile state actors set up shop.
