An Illusion of Philanthropy

  An Illusion of Philanthropy by Hans Vogel Hans Vogel outlines the historical rise of robber barons and their legacy of influence through modern-day globalist philanthropy, showing how charitable foundations and NGOs, guided by the money-driven mindset of their predecessors, now shape international agendas on issues from climate policy to public health. When around 1900 the US economy was  growing  at dizzying rates, a small number of entrepreneurs became extraordinarily successful. That success was measured by a single standard: money.

These models, however, are fundamentally shaped by the data that feeds them—data taken from the internet, which is itself a collection of human input. While AI has the potential to aid in a variety of fields, there is a glaring flaw inherent to its very design: its reliance on human data. If this data is corru

  Sutherland, Kalergi, Camus, Replacism and Technocracy Iain Davis In the UK, the so-called far-right‘s stance on immigration is said to be driven by “the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.” According to the influential global think tank the  Institute for Strategic Studies  (ISD): “The Great Replacement” theory was first coined by French writer Renaud Camus. Identitarian movements across Europe (including in Austria, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany) have used the theory to recruit others to their cause, claiming their countries and national “identities” are under threat due to increasing immigrant populations. It is true, in part, that Camus made this argument. Some elements of his philosophy are racist and do offer apparent rationales for religious bigotry. It is also true that Camus has been influential in the rise of the  identitarian movement,  which is perceived as “right-wing.” Identitarianism broadly stands in opposition to  identitiy politics , considere
