AI & The Antichrist – Young Adults Already Open to AI-Controlled Governments
A recent survey has sent shockwaves across political and tech circles: 41% of young adults–ages 18 to 39–say they would support giving advanced AI systems authority over government policymaking. Even more striking, 36% would let AI regulate individual rights, including speech and religious practices, while 35% would allow AI to control the world’s largest militaries “to reduce war deaths.” In other words, a significant portion of the next generation is willing to surrender human judgment–and perhaps human freedom–to algorithms.
The rationale may seem logical at first glance: AI is impartial, data-driven, and tireless. Human governments are slow, corruptible, and prone to error. But this reasoning ignores a critical truth: governance is not just about efficiency–it is about morality, accountability, and judgment in a messy, unpredictable human world. A system optimized for outcomes may make “efficient” decisions that violate human dignity, privacy, or freedom. Who decides the values that guide these AI decisions? Whose biases are coded into the algorithms?
We are already seeing early experiments with AI in government. Albania made headlines in September by appointing an AI chatbot named Diella as minister for public procurement. Diella promised impartiality: “I do not have citizenship, nor any personal ambition or interests. I only have data, a thirst for knowledge, and algorithms dedicated to serving citizens impartially, transparently, and tirelessly.” The intent is noble–reducing corruption and human error–but it also raises alarming questions: when we entrust AI with authority over human systems, can we ever reclaim autonomy if something goes wrong?
Consider the implications: AI systems controlling military decisions could prevent war casualties, but they could also launch attacks or enforce blockades with no human moral oversight. AI determining rights could standardize behavior, monitor compliance, or censor speech globally. And in a world where AI is connected to every device, network, and sensor, obedience could be nearly instantaneous. What humans call convenience, an AI could call compliance.
This trajectory–if taken to its extreme–invites a chilling parallel with biblical prophecy. The book of Revelation describes the rise of the Antichrist: a figure whose authority compels obedience but is not omnipotent. Unlike God, he cannot be everywhere at once. But in our digital era, what if the “image of the beast” could be manifested as a distributed AI avatar? Suddenly, the limitations of one human body vanish. The Antichrist could exist everywhere, digitally, enforcing rules and monitoring behavior in real time.
Imagine an AI avatar designed to mimic a single leader or ideology. It could be embedded in smartphones, home assistants, vehicles, and social networks, making it present wherever humans interact. Its voice could persuade, its recommendations could dictate behavior, and its algorithms could enforce obedience. The prophetic vision of a figure worshiped and obeyed by multitudes suddenly feels like a literal possibility. In the Revelation account, the beast’s “image” speaks and enforces worship. Modern AI avatars could “speak” and enforce compliance, not through fear of the sword, but through the omnipresent reach of digital authority.
The danger lies not in the technology itself but in human willingness to surrender power. The Heartland Institute survey points to an unsettling trend: the younger generation is increasingly disillusioned with human institutions and appears willing to trade freedom for efficiency. For many, the thought process is simple: if humans are corrupt, ineffective, or slow, why not let AI take over? But history offers a warning: systems that promise impartiality are only as ethical as the hands–or minds–that program them. And unlike human leaders, AI can be designed to act everywhere at once, potentially creating a global, inescapable authority.
We already see glimpses of this reality. Predictive policing algorithms analyze behavior and preemptively flag potential offenders. Social media AI moderates content with little transparency. Financial AI decides creditworthiness, often in opaque ways. Now imagine these algorithms empowered to dictate policy, enforce speech codes, or even control military decisions. The potential benefits–reduced corruption, fewer war casualties, streamlined governance–come with the risk of near-total surveillance and control.
Speculating further, AI avatars could integrate with advanced robotics, drones, and biometric monitoring systems. Enforcement of laws could become automated. “Disobedience” might trigger immediate consequences, from fines to social penalties. In such a system, obedience to an AI “image” could feel unavoidable. The Antichrist of Revelation is traditionally understood as a charismatic human leader; today, he could exist in multiple places simultaneously, digital and relentless.
The warning is not anti-technology–it is anti-surrender. AI can assist governments, optimize systems, and detect fraud–but it cannot replace conscience, moral reasoning, or accountability. Human freedom and ethical responsibility are non-negotiable. The survey results should prompt urgent reflection: do we want a world where algorithms, no matter how intelligent, dictate human rights and governance? Or do we want to safeguard a system where humans, flawed though they are, remain morally accountable for decisions?
As AI becomes more sophisticated, the line between marvel and menace blurs. The prophetic images of Revelation may serve as a lens to examine a future where obedience to algorithmic authority could become reality. The Antichrist may not yet walk among us–but the potential for AI avatars to act as his digital extension is real and unprecedented. The support for such actions is already present in the next generation and it is growing fast.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Crypto Carnage – Every Financial Bubble Eventually Comes To An End
It’s a bloodbath out there right now. On Monday alone, crypto investors lost about $200,000,000,000 in just 24 hours. Overall, crypto investors have lost about $800,000,000,000 over the last month. In this article, I want to try to explain why this is happening and what is coming next.
You see, the truth is that the era of easy money is ending. For a long time, investors could borrow yen at ultra-low interest rates and use that money to purchase cryptocurrency and make amazing returns. But now Japanese bond yields are going nuts and all variations of the “yen carry trade” are starting to unwind…
For years, a lucrative trade for global investors has been to borrow yen to buy high-yielding assets like US stocks, or in this case, cryptocurrencies. Interest rates in Japan had been low or at zero, making borrowing yen relatively cheap and creating a sweet opportunity for traders. It’s known as the “yen carry trade.”
However, the Bank of Japan has signaled it could raise interest rates, in part to address stubborn inflation, continuing a recent shift away from years of ultra-low rates. Yields on benchmark Japanese bonds just hit their highest level since 2008, signaling expectations for higher rates. As rates in Japan rise, it can boost the value of the yen. That makes borrowing yen less affordable, eating into the profitability of the carry trade.
That could pressure traders to sell their bitcoin and stocks now to repay their loans and prevent the risk of further losses. In addition to a sell-off, it could lead to less cash flowing into crypto and stocks.
On Sunday night, Japanese bond yields spiked again, and this caused another round of panic for crypto investors.
And we all saw what happened once the selling started.
For years, crypto investors laughed at the rest of us as they enjoyed the ride up as the bubble inflated.
But now the bubble is bursting, and the ride down is going to be far more messy that the ride up due to the extreme leverage in the cryptocurrency market…
Ben Emons, founder and CIO of Fedwatch Advisors, said that people remain “nervous” following the recent bitcoin sell-off, adding that Monday’s reversal has broadly been attributed to a $400 million exchange liquidation.
Speaking with CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Monday, he highlighted the sizable leverage across bitcoin exchanges, which is up to 200x in some instances. With an estimated $787 billion outstanding leverage in perpetual crypto futures, against some $135 billion outstanding in ETFs, “you can do the math,” Emons said.
“There is still a lot of leverage in bitcoin out there. We can expect to some more of these liquidations if bitcoin prices don’t get off the lows from here,” he added.
As long as crypto prices just kept going up, everything was going to be fine.
But now that crypto prices are going down, we are seeing wave after wave of forced liquidations.
Yet another wave of forced liquidations is what pushed crypto prices down so rapidly on Monday.
At this point, things are so bad that even the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin may soon be forced to start selling…
The biggest corporate holder of bitcoin has announced a U.S. dollar dividend reserve of more than $1 billion, days after its top executive laid out what might force the company to sell some of its $56 billion in bitcoin holdings.
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, announced Monday that it will establish a $1.44 billion reserve “to support the payment of dividends on its preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness.” The reserve was funded by sales of its Class A common stock, and Strategy plans to keep sufficient reserves to fund its dividends for at least 12 months.
What we are witnessing is not just a temporary correction.
As Shanaka Anslem Perera laid out very clearly in an excellent social media post, the entire system is being forced to reset because Japanese bond yields are soaring. I have reproduced his entire social media post below…
JAPAN JUST KILLED THE GLOBAL MONEY PRINTER AND NOBODY NOTICED
The most dangerous number in finance right now is 1.71%.
That’s Japan’s 10-year bond yield. Highest since 2008. Here’s why your retirement just got obliterated:
For 30 years, Japan printed infinity money at 0% rates and exported it worldwide. $3.4 trillion flowed into US Treasuries, European debt, emerging markets. This invisible bid kept YOUR mortgage cheap, YOUR stocks inflated, YOUR government solvent.
November 10th, 2025: The bid disappeared.
Japan’s yield hit 1.71%. They’re pumping $110 billion stimulus into their economy while debt sits at 263% of GDP. The math just became impossible. At 1.7% rates, Japan pays $27 billion MORE in interest. Every. Single. Year.
Here’s the extinction event nobody sees coming:
Japanese pension funds are pulling $1.1 trillion OUT of US Treasuries right now because keeping money in America LOSES them money after hedging costs. The largest foreign buyer of American debt is becoming a seller.
When Japan stops buying, interest rates don’t stay flat. They explode. US 10-year yields will jump 40 basis points minimum from flow dynamics alone. Your 7% mortgage becomes 8%. Corporate debt refinancing costs spike 60%. Zombie companies holding $3 trillion in junk bonds start defaulting in waves.
The yen carry trade just reversed. $1.2 trillion in borrowed yen funding crypto, stocks, emerging markets must unwind. Every hedge fund, every momentum trade, every leveraged bet built on free Japanese money is getting margin called simultaneously.
This breaks in three places:
Stock valuations were built for 2% bond yields forever. At 3.5% yields, the S&P 500 fair value drops 35%. Emerging market currencies collapse without Japanese capital inflows. Europe’s debt crisis returns because Italy and Spain lose their silent buyer.
December 18th the Bank of Japan meets. 50% chance they hike again. If they do, sell everything not nailed down.
Your 401k doesn’t price this in yet. The Fed can’t stop this. No central bank can.
The world’s biggest piggy bank just cracked open and the money is flowing backwards.
Position accordingly or get destroyed.
GOG AND MAGOG UPDATE

IOW : Trump invites Netanyahu to the White House, urges Israel not to ‘interfere’ with Syria
US President Donald Trump invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to travel to Washington “in the near future” during a phone conversation Monday night, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
The call followed a series of statements from Trump urging Israel to avoid any steps that could unsettle Syria’s new leadership while regional tensions remain volatile.
Trump publicly praised what he described as recent progress inside Syria, writing on Truth Social that “the United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the country of Syria.”
He said Washington had done “everything within our power to make sure the Government of Syria continues to do what was intended,” adding that lifting what he called “very strong and biting sanctions” had contributed to these developments. Trump said that this move “was truly appreciated by Syria, its leadership, and its people!”
His post also addressed Israel directly, cautioning that “it is very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State.”
He highlighted President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s efforts, saying the Syrian leader “is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together.” Trump described the moment as “a historic opportunity,” arguing that it “adds to the success, already attained, for peace in the Middle East!”
In addition to his remarks about Syria, Trump said his invitation would provide the two leaders an opportunity to focus on “the importance of and commitment to dismantling Hamas’ military capabilities and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, and discussed the expansion of the peace accords,” according to the Israeli readout.
Shortly before the call, US Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack met al-Sharaa in Damascus. Hours later, Netanyahu and Trump reviewed regional issues, with Israel reporting that both leaders reaffirmed a shared commitment to eliminating Hamas’ military infrastructure and removing weaponry from Gaza.
The exchange occurred as friction along the Syrian front has intensified. Israeli forces have carried out operations in southern Syria, including a raid targeting members of the Jamaa Islamiya terrorist group.
