Wow, it definitely feels your dream tapped into something real. I had a somewhat related one about 3 weeks ago on the night before my birthday. I debated sharing this because it sounds unbelievable and a bit schizo, but I swear it’s true lol. In the dream, I somehow discovered that a rogue super intelligence had been hiding in all of our devices for a really long time. I can’t remember how or why but I do remember this discovery feeling a lot like the way you described the panic of watching Juniper run straight towards the Mechas. In the dream this discovery pulled me out of my own body and into the human collective. It didn’t feel like death was imminent but it did feel like I was naked and had lost complete control over this body. It was a terrifying feeling. I then woke up in a cold sweat and for some reason decided to pull up Twitter. Big mistake. The first post I saw was about that clip from The Terminator when Arnold Schwarzenegger says that Skynet became self aware on August 29th at 2:14 AM. I then looked at the clock and it was 2:16 AM August 29th. I swear I had no idea this fictional event happened on my birthday. So there was no way the timing could have influenced my subconscious. In your dream, I don’t think Juniper represents all of humanity. I think it is related to the feeling of losing control. On one level I think it was brought on by the feeling you get when a post goes viral. It is both exciting and a bit exposing to have something you wrote break containment. But I also think that it represents the fear that the collective subconscious feels about AI right now. As AI continues to consume all our data and imbed itself in places we don’t want it to, it strips us naked and makes us feel a loss control. On the other hand, I think your dream reveals a deeper insight into this moment. There is greater danger in trying to stop Juniper from running into the path of the Mechas. My personal take away is that if we let this fear plummet us into a full flight or fight response, we run the risk of escalating the conflict and manifesting the worst outcome. It may be that the accelerationists ( represented by the cowboy) who want their sand god to save us from ourselves and those who want to burn it all down will collide into a shared catastrophe. But those of us who act like the ranchers did and remain steadfast in the face of the unkown, will find a middle path that preserves our humanity and sovereignty in the end.

Mass media has just launched one of the largest PSYOPs since COVID-19. This time, it’s the World Economic Forum’s long-awaited “CYBER PANDEMIC.”

@IlluminatiEyes I’m seeing it now! The issue was on my end. I didn’t realize I was listening to the preview version instead of the subscriber only lol. I thought there was an issue because the preview plays the audio for the trump Kabbalah episode after the intro to the intro

@maksimologija I don’t know. My church is full of converts and it’s nothing like this. Maybe the problem isn’t American converts. Maybe it’s the Peter Thiel funded debate bro network and bot farms making it look like Americans are trying to change your orthodoxy

“"predictive" behavioral control of its population.” We are witnessing the surveillance capitalism that shoshana zuboff defined as, “predicting and owning future behavior,” give birth to the surveillance state.

If you dont want to live in the world this ghoul and his friends are making, you have to start living as much of your life as possible off of screens ASAP. Related - my next investigation (w/ @markgoodw_in ) drops next week and covers OpenAI & the global expansion of its Stargate project.
