They Are Not Pretending Anymore!

Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference, delivered ironically on the day of celebration of love—Valentine’s Day

Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference and the standing ovation it received have made it clear that the hegemonical powers are joined at the hip when it comes to their skewed perspective.

He asserts that NATO and the broader Western alliance ‘saved and changed the world’ and must remain strong in the face of new threats. European countries mainly fought each other and somehow saved the world! The height of absurdity in that assertion!

I have no intention to spew vitriol against any nation or their government. I am a spiritual being, and I love my planet in its entirety and wish that it remains a vibrant and colourful place in the future also. And the way things are going right now, our future is in grave danger!

I am also aware that the majority of the ordinary people everywhere are good natured and kind and when the good people are pissed off together, we can change the world in a day!

So, with that hope and in the light of recent events happening around the world, I felt the need to share my anguish at this naked display of arrogance and ignorance.

Marco laid out Trump Govt’s claim to upholding the legacy of great thinkers and scientists from the Old Continent and yet their puerile arguments, evil policies and might-is-right tactics effectively prove that their cerebral hemispheres are overshadowed completely by their baser instincts.  

Rubio, himself a child of Cuban immigrants, stressed upon an urgent alliance to bring back colonialism and missionaries at the behest of his capitalist overlords. While he hailed his colonial heritage, he managed to denigrate the ‘other’ side simultaneously.

He emphasised the need to fight against the sickle and hammer (Russia and China) to ensure Western dominance and exploitation. Somehow the evil cannot survive without creating an ‘other’, an ‘imaginary enemy’ and some kind of ‘fear’. The fear is the very foundation of their empire.

He also yakked on about not bothering with the minutiae of defence spending when it comes to ensuring western supremacy.

The summary of his speech reads like Hitler’s manifesto, driven by an urgent plea to ensure a renewal of Western hegemony over the world.

1.     Closing down free borders: According to the US govt., mass migration is the root of all evil in the western ‘Christian’ countries.

Stop bombing their countries to stone age and they have no reason to seek refuge in yours!

2.     Safeguarding the Christian faith: Enabling and facilitating the missionaries to continue their work once again like in the good old days of colonialism. His entire speech was an ode to the glorious colonial days.

Has the subtle tint of his whiteness blinded him to the suffering of his people under the colonial yoke? Has he already been fitted with one of the neural chips being worked upon by the tech giants to control mankind? The mistakes he makes while reading do sound like a glitch in the system.

3. Clamping down on the useless rhetoric of freedom and equality (PIGs of the Animal Farm think that ‘Some are More Equal than Others’).

4. Blatantly racist US govt policies and rhetoric is labelled ‘directness’ in the cause of ensuring European white supremacy. He wants European accolades for His Flatuency, who is working tirelessly to ensure that the whitest of white people can inhabit the Earth while all the other colours bleed into the cosmos soundlessly and invisibly. His overloads are already evaporating one of the colours into obliteration with thermobaric weapons.

5. White colonial Europe is the mother of White America. Some sort of Oedipal complex seeped into Marco the Plunderer’s speech in between.

6. While elevating European contributions to art and culture and science, the ignoramus completely negated the contributions of the rest of the world. As if the sun only shone on the old continent! He totally forgets that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West!

7. He even defended and glorified the murderous actions of the masked ICE agents as necessary to restore the Whiteness of the West, and he also goads the European leaders to follow suit.

Just watch this speech and tell me if your skin doesn't crawl at the outrageousness of what he is saying and implying!

I AM NOT JOKING. Check out the actual quotes from his speech here—

This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again. For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding -- its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.

CURATORS AND JANITORS OF OUR OWN OBSOLETION

CODE JANITORS | NEURAL IMPLANTS | ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE | TECHNOLOGY | SOCIETY | FUTURE

Tracing humanity’s journey from tools to automation, and now to AI curators and code janitors—guardians of our tangled digital world.

There is such a profusion of AI-generated garbage everywhere that need trained deep-cleanup crews.  Digital janitors to the rescue--People are training themselves and queuing up to be custodians of the internet. 

There is a heavy price to pay. While the big tech creating rules for AI clean up are western or based in Global North, the populations used to clean AI training data are outsourced from the Global South (Kenya, India and the Phillipines). These workers are exploited with really low wages and are especially selected because they are largely unemployable and have no other option. They absorb the psychological cost of filtering damaging, violent and soul-breaking content without any form of redressal or help. Video Source.

I long to go back to the days when our digital world could be shut down with a click and we could go back to living our lives for real. We can switch off even now, but it is a tad difficult, as our lives are inextricably tangled in the web of dependency threads. It happened slowly, deliberately and over a period of time.

They continue to hand us tools, and we happily continue to dig deeper holes to bury ourselves in. The contraptions of convenience are more expensive and shinier now, and we swim across oceans and fight a blizzard and sometimes sacrifice our families and mental peace to acquire them.

The blingy gizmos have become extensions of our body and mind. We label, adorn and clothe them with TLC and all the while still eye shinier things on the counter. We are never satisfied. Satisfaction is programmed to be always a step ahead, within reach but never quite there.

Homo Sapiens evolved to use tools and mechanisation for convenience and to reduce human effort, but the process and quest got replaced with the wrong objective. From harnessing natural energy and resources by using windmills and wheels, the aim shifted towards more independence and control.

By the 19th century and through the Industrial Revolution with large-scale automation of transport and communication, humans became operators rather than direct labourers. Gradually they kept ‘innovating’ more contraptions to eliminate the humans. They called it progress—this automation.

By the 20th century, mass production (assembly line, Ford) reduced human skill requirements; computing (ENIAC) began replacing human calculation. This elimination of humans from the system somehow became the benchmark test for all ‘progress’ in every arena. Doing things without humans was the new shiny goal serving the capitalist system.

By the mid-20th century, machines began to “think” and perform repetitive industrial tasks autonomously. And humans were carelessly flung on a flimsy pedestal and told to concentrate on creating things instead of ‘wasting’ time doing menial things.

But in reality, from being the centre of the universe, humans were slowly being relegated to a redundant status everywhere. Systems were created to recognise patterns and adapt and grow on their own without human oversight.

Artificial intelligence technology is designed to replace humans. They claim that the tech is here to augment and facilitate our work. But the way AI is learning and mimicking us daily with our own compliance and enthusiasm, it will soon adapt and develop further, sidelining us completely.

Presently, AI manages even creativity, curation, and code maintenance—removing humans from repetitive intellectual labour and shifting them toward ‘strategic’ oversight with an army of code janitors and human custodians of the digital world.

The AI curators and code janitors represent the latest stage where machines not only perform tasks but also organise, improve, and augment human-created systems with negligible intervention.

If we continue on this path, what’s next? Do we want to continue on this path, even after knowing what’s next?

The next frontier isn’t just automation of tasks—it’s automation of innovation and governance itself. We may see AI designing new paradigms of knowledge and even rules, laws and codes.

The next stage is already being labelled-- ‘post-human symbiosis', where AI merges with human cognition through brain–computer interfaces, genetic augmentation, or neural co-processing.

Elon Musk’s company Neuralink is already achieving this artificial synthesis with neural implants.

In November last year, Neuralink announced that it had implanted its brain chip in 12 people with severe paralysis. Noland Arbaugh, the first patient to receive the implant, said in an interview that the chip allows him to play Mario Kart, control the TV, and operate household appliances without having to move any part of his body. https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/science/neuralink-to-begin-mass-production-of-brain-implants-in-2025-says-elon-musk-10453293/

While we might be happy with the medical use of this technology, but can we stop its misuse or lifestyle adaptation?

Actually, we cannot.

The perversion of this technology is already here with Ray-Ban Meta glasses. They are the stylish, accessible cousin of Neuralink’s implants. While Musk’s implants work from inside, the Meta glasses work externally translating neural or gestural signals into digital actions through a neural band accessory.

The challenge remains…How do we ensure that these systems remain aligned with human ethics, rather than drifting into self-serving logic controlled by a few?

What about privacy and consent?

Are we all already in a multiplayer game with no exit and no agency or control to change anything?

Where are the custodians and sentinels?

There is no OUT from this twisted web, is there?
