SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Google’s real goal seems to be singularity

The power of computing, and the thrill of its apparently infinite possibilities, has also long been a source of fear.

Going into a San Francisco second-hand book shop, shortly before a visit to Google’s headquarters in California, I happened upon a copy of Dick Tracy, an old novel based on Chester Gould’s cartoon strip starring America’s favourite detective. For a 1970 publication, the plot seemed remarkably topical. Dick, and his sidekick Sam Catchem, find themselves battling a sinister character known as “Mr Computer” who wants to control the world. His strange powers enable him to remember everything he hears or sees and recall it instantly. This is a bad guy who can store data, analyse voice patterns and read private thoughts.

My visit to the legendary “Googleplex” at Mountain View comes at an awkward time for the company. Edward Snowden’s revelations about the snooping of the US Government’s National Security Agency (NSA) in its clandestine electronic-surveillance programme PRISM have provoked a crisis of trust in Silicon Valley. Larry Page, Google co-founder and CEO, rushed out a blog to deny claims in leaked NSA documents that it – in parallel with other American internet giants – had been co-operating with the spying programme since 2009. “Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information about our users’ internet activity on such a scale is completely false,” he said.

Trust is everything to Google

It stands on the verge of a technological breakthrough that can transform its relationship with us. Already, it is universally recognised as the world leader in searching for information. It handles around 90 per cent of internet searches in the UK: when we want to know something, most of us turn to Google. But it wants more – it wants to become our constant companion.

The rapid evolution of mobile technology has brought new opportunities to a business generating annual revenue in excess of $50bn (£33.7bn). It began, just 15 years ago, as a service that enabled you to type a request into a personal computer and be given links to associated websites. Things have rather moved on. Soon Google hopes to have the ubiquitous presence of a personal assistant that never stops working, capable of conversing naturally in any language. Ultimately, as Page and co-founder Sergey Brin have asserted, the goal is to insert a chip inside your head for the most effortless search engine imaginable. Some will find this prospect exciting. Others might want to call for Dick Tracy.

The first stage of this new level of intimacy is Google Glass, which I am invited to trial as part of a briefing on the company’s future plans

My first impression is that this revolutionary contraption is remarkably unobtrusive. It looks like a pair of glasses and, at 36 grams, weighs about the same as a typical pair of sunglasses due to its largely titanium frame. Despite the chunkiness of the right temple – made from plastic and where all the technology is stored – there is no sense of imbalance.

The awkwardness only starts when you start to interact. You turn the contraption on by tapping your finger on the right side of the frame, or surreptitiously throwing your head back. On a screen projected a few inches in front of your right eyeball is a digital clock and the magic words “OK glass”, the uttering of which takes you to a range of task options: ask a question, take a picture, record a video, get directions to, send a message to, make a call to, make a video call to.

The idea of Google Glass is that you can walk down busy streets receiving helpful facts – without needing to take your mobile phone from your pocket. It could end the urban hazard of pedestrians staring at their mobiles instead of looking where they’re going.

At the moment it’s a work in progress, which is why the prototype is called the Explorer and the 10,000 American-based pioneers who are trialling the apparatus – mostly web developers and heavy social-media users – are dubbed “explorers”.

Does it work? Yes and no. Answering questions is its central feature. It likes straightforward instruction such as “OK Glass… Google – what is the height of David Cameron?”, returning within four seconds with an image of the Prime Minister and a computer voice telling me “David Cameron is six feet zero inches tall”. But when I ask for the name of the wife of his predecessor, Gordon Brown, I’m offered details of “Golden Brown”, a hit for The Stranglers in 1982.

The camera and video option is novel and discreet, except when you bark out the words: “OK Glass, take a picture!” Three seconds after giving the order, you have a shot (or film) which you can share with friends on the Google+ social network. One Explorer recently used Google Glass to snap a police arrest as it was taking place. The potential is enormous: a proud mum could film her son taking a penalty kick in a football match while dad, abroad but connected through the Google Hangout service, could watch the action live through his wife’s Google Glass. The more you hand your life over to Google, the more you get out of this technology.

Google Glass is part of a wider ecosystem and is not currently intended as an alternative to a mobile phone but as a complement to it. Glass needs the mobile in your pocket to locate your position and connect to your contacts via 4G and Bluetooth. Rather than encouraging users to be constantly gibbering in public, the default position for this device is “off”, I am told. The screen has been positioned above the eye line and at two o’clock on a clock face to ensure that the people f you are with know from your squint when you are consulting Glass.

But none of these caveats can conceal the scale of Google’s ambition. It is staking its future on a vast store of information called the Knowledge Graph, which is growing at an exponential rate. When it launched in May 2012, Knowledge Graph was a pool of 3.5 billion facts on 500 million of the world’s most searched subjects. In a little over a year the knowledge held on the Google servers has grown to 18 billion facts on around 570 million subjects.

This Knowledge Graph is the base for Google Now, the latest incarnation of Google which is personalising the search engine by giving you a series of bespoke “cards” as you log on. They tell you the local weather, the traffic you might face on the way to work, details of your meetings and restaurant bookings taken from your Google email account, your team’s latest result and so on.

In Building 43 of the Googleplex, Ben Gomes talks with barely concealed excitement about a “new epoch”. A Google fellow and the company’s Vice President of Search he has been working on these technologies for 14 years. “[Knowledge Graph] is everything you have at some point asked a query about – plus everything that everyone else has thought of!” he exclaims. “It’s a meld of all the world’s interests and information needs.”

The future, he says, is for this enormous resource to be “present everywhere”. It’s a long step from the British Council library in Bangalore, where Gomes used to go to obtain his reading matter. “You borrowed a book – if it was available – and then you read it and got the next book. I got two books and that was all the information that I had for a week,” he says. “Today it would be unthinkable for that [information] not to be available in seconds.”

Google’s options have grown with recent advances in speech-recognition technology (it can now decipher 35 languages) and in natural-language processing, the “holy grail” that means the computer can understand what is being spoken (for example, knowing that “tall” refers to height) and hold a conversation. The “OK Google…” voice-prompted search tool (already installed on mobile apps) is to become standard on the Google Chrome engine.

Scott Huffman, Google’s engineering director, says the company’s intention is to “transform the ways people interact with Google”. That means having conversations similar to those you would have with humans. No longer will we have to go to “settings” to recalibrate our devices – we will simply order them to make the desired changes. And those devices will not be in our pockets – but all around us in every room.

“If you look back 10 years there was a computer on my desk and today there’s a computer in my pocket and it still has a screen and a keyboard,” says Huffman.

“But fast forward a bit and… I think there is going to be a device in the ceiling with microphones, and it will be in my glasses or my wristwatch or my shirt. And like the Google Glass it won’t have a keyboard… you just say ‘OK Google, blah-blah-blah’ and you get what you want.”

Where will it end?

Gomes agrees that a chip embedded in the brain is far from a sci-fi fantasy. “Already people are beginning to experiment with handicapped people for manoeuvring their wheelchairs,” he says. “They are getting a few senses of direction with the wheelchair but getting from there to actual words is a long ways off. We have to do this in the brain a lot better to make that interaction possible. We have impatience for that to happen but the pieces of technology have to develop.”

Any visitor to the Googleplex will testify that this is not a regular company. By lunchtime, Googlers are out on the sand of the beach volleyball court. A statue of a dinosaur skeleton – a pointed juxtaposition of past and future – has been decorated with model pink flamingos, hanging from its bones. Around the central patio there are awnings in Google-style primary colours which add to the impression of a holiday resort.

Building 43 is decorated with a giant model of Virgin Galactic’s Space Ship One, donated by Sir Richard Branson, and Building 2000 has a long, silver, swirling slide that allows you to bypass the stairs.

It’s no wonder people want to work here. About 10,000 do. But the company gets two million applications a year, a demand reflected in the new Hollywood movie The Internship, which was partly filmed at the Googleplex.

In the Dick Tracy novel, Mr Computer (his initials were I.B.M.) came a cropper when the detective’s deliberately eccentric behaviour caused his adversary’s brain to malfunction. But what would we do without Google? Since my visit I’ve found myself engaging more and more with its services. source – Independent UK

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Will Charlie Kirk As An American Martyr Serve As The Flashpoint For The Unrest And Lawlessness That’s Coming?

The people behind the shooting of Charlie Kirk turned him into an American martyr, and what comes next will shock even the most hardened conspiracy theorists

Last night we went on The Soul Trap to do a live podcast on the political assassination of commentator and author Charlie Kirk, and as you might expect, it was a wild ride, click here to see it. One of the things I said during that podcast was that Charlie Kirk, like polar opposite George Floyd before him, was going to be turned into an American martyr. That statement turned out to have a prophetic tinge to it as today we see efforts underway to create nationwide murals for him as well as for Ukrainian subway stabbing victim Iryna Zarutska. Every movement needs an icon, and now we have two of them.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Charlie Kirk was selected as the sacrifice deemed necessary to ignite the next phase of civil war in our nation. Back in 2020, when George Floyd was the sacrifice, the 6 months of unsheeted Hell that arose from that did $2 billion dollars in damage to the economy, killed dozens of people, and strained the tenuous fabric of our society to the breaking point. They’re hoping that Charlie Kirk as an American martyr will push things over the edge. Now, you might be wondering just who the ‘they’ are that we say are behind all this, and we are more than happy to reveal their identity to you. The rabbit hole is lovely, dark and deep, and we have promises to keep on this special edition of the Prophecy News Podcast.

Investigators Into The Charlie Kirk Assassination Say They Found Ammo From The Shooter Engraved With Transgender And Anti-Fascist Sentiments

Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk

Investigators into the assassination of Charlie Kirk say they found ammo in the woods engraved with ‘expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology’ presumably left behind by the sniper. If that turns out to be true, then the shooter would join the ranks of other trans killers like Audrey Hale, Alec McKinney, Anderson Lee Aldrich and Robin Westman. So let’s see if I have this right…the FBI is seeking an LGBTQ+ assassin who supports ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, who also turns out to be an excellent marksman who executed a pinpoint accurate single bullet to the jugular vein of Charlie Kirk from 232 feet away. Hmm, do we believe that? Well, do we? I sure don’t, and that’s the memo.

“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJB)

Get ready for the circus that is sure to follow in the wake of this latest shooting, get ready for the murals of Ukrainian subway stab victim Iryna Zarutska and murals of Charlie Kirk that will soon dot the landscape the same way that icons of George Floyd surrounded us back in 2020. All movements need a martyr, right? BLM had George Floyd, January 6th had Ashli Babbitt, and now whatever this is has two martyrs for people to rally around. Elon Musk just donated $1 million dollars to a campaign that will create 300 murals of Iryna Zarutska across America, the same thing for Charlie Kirk cannot be far behind. 1970’s supergroup Emerson, Lake and Palmer sang these lyrics in a project entitled Karn Evil 9 “Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside” That’s the business, enjoy the show.

Authorities Examine Rifle and Ammo as Manhunt for Kirk Shooter Stretches On

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: The older-model .30 caliber hunting rifle was discovered in the woods near the scene of Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University, wrapped in a towel with a spent cartridge still in the chamber, the sources said. There were also three unspent rounds in the magazine, all with wording on them.

Justice Department officials cautioned that the investigation was still in its preliminary stages, and that investigators were still examining the ammunition.
Kirk, 31 years old, was onstage going back and forth with a student about mass shootings involving transgender people when he was targeted, according to videos of the attack. The student hasn’t been publicly identified.

Drone view shows the reported location of the shooter on a rooftop, at the scene where Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University.

Conservative commentator and author Charlie Kirk has died after being shot on stage during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Kirk, 31 years old, was one of the most influential figures on the right and founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, a powerful conservative youth organization. The shooter is still at large. The shooter is still at large. Authorities believe the shooting suspect is of college age, but cautioned that the investigation is in its early stages.

FBI releases first images of person of interest in Charlie Kirk assassination

A high-powered rifle, including ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology, was recovered in a wooded area where the suspected shooter fled. Investigators say it is unclear how far the suspect might have traveled overnight.

President Trump is set to speak with the Kirk family today, as Vice President JD Vance visits Utah to pay his respects. Kirk was married to Erika Kirk and had two young children. He lived in Arizona where his organization Turning Point is based. The Kirk shooting renewed a fight between the parties over which actions might reduce violence. READ MORE

Charlie Kirk was answering question about transgender shooters when he was assassinated

Witnesses reportedly said political activist Charlie Kirk was answering a question about transgender shooters when he was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. “A kid came up and asked a question about how many transgender shooters there were,” Emma Pitts and Eva Terry, who are reporters for Deseret News, said as they described the scene, per CNN. “And Charlie gave him another comment and then he asked one more question, and so the question was about shooters and before Charlie Kirk could pick up the mic again, that’s when the shot happened,” they said.

Former Mafia Capo Michael Franzese Who Was Locked Up In Same Cell As Jeffrey Epstein Said Suicide Would Have Been ‘Impossible’ To Carry Out

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Mafia boss Michael Franzese who served time in the exact jail cell where Jeffrey Epstein died said it would be ‘impossible’ for the pedophile to have killed himself inside.

Donald Trump could still pull a win out of this tsunami of MAGA opposition over his botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, but the clock is not his friend, and as Jack Bauer would say, he is very quickly running out of time to recover the situation. Yesterday, former Mafia capo in the Colombo crime family Michael Franzese, who himself was locked up in the very same cell that Jeffrey Epstein was, said there was no way that Epstein committed suicide, that it would have been categorically impossible, unless he had had a little help. We agree, and that’s the memo.

“And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.” Acts 23:13 (KJB)

One thing is for certain, Donald Trump knows a whole lot more than he is telling, and for whatever his reasons, is choosing to keep it under wraps in the hopes it will all just blow over in the next news cycle. The man we elected to dismantle the Deep State is now the one doing their bidding, is that where we are here on Day 1,948 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve? Mr. President, I’d advise you to choose your next move wisely, you are running out of time.

Former mobster Michael Franzese once jailed in Jeffrey Epstein’s cell says suicide inside would be ‘impossible’

FROM THE NY POST: Michael Franzese — a former Colombo crime family capo — told NewsNation that he spent seven months incarcerated in the cell where Epstein died and that the very architecture and layout of the rooms would not allow somebody to kill themselves like Epstein.

“There’s just no way you are able to commit suicide. There’s just no way,” Franzese said. “There’s no way to hang yourself, there’s nothing from the ceiling, there’s nothing from the bed.”

“You’d have to be a midget, and work really hard to try to hang yourself and I don’t think you could accomplish it,” he added, explaining that there are no fixtures on the ceiling and that beds are generally low to the ground. “You just couldn’t physically do it. It would be almost impossible to do it.”

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 16, 2025

Despite Franzese’s claims about the cell’s layout, photos from Epstein’s cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center after he died showed a bunk ladder and gridded bars on the window that reached the ceiling. Epstein, 66, hanged himself in his cell in August 2019 as he was being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.

Donald Trump is flabbergasted why “anyone would be still be interested in talking about Jeffrey Epstein”. He says that only “bad people” are keeping this fake news non-story going. Wow. Nothing Obama ever did was as much gaslighting as this. Trump is the Deep State. pic.twitter.com/VwyFsQfuuH

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 16, 2025

The twisted financier had been placed on suicide watch after an apparent attempt to take his own life behind bars just days earlier. He was moved to a more heavily monitored unit after that, where guards were supposed to regularly check on him. But the guards fell asleep on duty the night Epstein died and later doctored their logbooks to hide it. At the same time, the cameras watching the cellblock apparently malfunctioned and turned off.

Franzese doesn’t buy those stories

“As far as the cameras being off, I haven’t experienced that – I did eight years in prison and I haven’t experienced cameras being broken and a perfect storm of correctional officers not walking those cells,” he told NewsNation.

“I just can’t buy it. I cannot buy it, I’m sorry. And I have no horse in this race other than my experience and the fact that I just couldn’t see it happening,” Franzese continued.

Debate over Epstein’s death — and conspiracy theories about the high-flying sex trafficker’s death — have dominated headlines since the Trump administration announced last week that investigators determined a supposed client list detailing powerful people connected to the pedo never existed.

Epstein ‘couldn’t have killed himself,’ says inmate held in same cell

Michael Franzese, a former capo for the Colombo crime family in the 1980s who served time in the exact cell where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 rejects the claim that the convicted sex offender died by suicide. He says “there’s no way” that’s possible.
