This is the coming world of augmented humans, where technology gifts people senses, skills, and strengths never before available.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJV)

The year is 2025. You’re sitting in a surgery watching your doctor carefully insert the tips of her fingertips into black thimble-like actuators. A screen in front of the doctor flashes with the image of a glistening tunnel of flesh and, as she huddles over the controls, you feel a stirring in your bowels.

The gelatinous mass you feel coming to life inside you found its way into your body 24 hours earlier, when you swallowed a pill that looked unremarkable, save for its bulk. That pill was actually a package of edible electronics, a miniature robot that will allow the doctor to feel inside your body without making a single incision.

The swallowable robot is only one scenario that researchers in Bristol in the west of England are working to make a reality, as part of research that seeks to use bots to enhance, rather than replace, people.

Human Augmentation: Blurring the Line Between Biology & Technology

Other projects include work to allow surgeons to operate on people located miles away with superhuman precision, and managers to split their day between offices situated on opposite sides of the world. The conversation about robots today so often revolves around fears of how they will replace us, rather than help us.

Yet as the research taking place at Bristol shows, robotics is “more about augmenting people than it is about making them obsolete,” says Professor Anthony Pipe, deputy director of Bristol Robotics Laboratory.

He sees this research as reflecting a future where robots and humans enjoy a more symbiotic relationship—where robots work alongside people, enhancing their capabilities.

“There are lots of areas where robots could help humans do things,” said Pipe. “That’s really one of the big new areas. So as opposed to replacing humans, helping humans will be a large area for growth.”

Pipe talks about “human-robot teams” working together. “We’re not saying the robot suddenly becomes a simulacrum of a human being—it’s still a robot doing the dumb things and being instructed by a human being—but it may be able to do more useful and skillful things than robots have been used to do so far.”

He is not alone in his assessment that robots will routinely collaborate with people. In the US, professor Manuela Veloso of Carneige Mellon University has built CoBots, wheeled bots that automatically escort people through the university building but ask people for help when needed—or instance, to call the elevator for them.

Just as bots can help people, so they will likely always need humans, Veloso said—whether it’s an automated car that needs a person to take the wheel during snowy weather or a robotic warehouse picker that can’t get a grip on a slippery object.

“Just as humans like you and I are not able to do everything and don’t know about everything, robots will always have limitations,” said Veloso. “The thing would be to continue developing algorithms in which the robots themselves are useful but capable of asking for help.”

The swallowable robot—called the MuBot—has been the focus of researcher Ben Winstone’s work at Bristol Robotics Lab in the west of England.

In effect, the device would transplant the tips of the doctor’s fingers onto its exterior, so when the robot pushed against the inside of the intestinal tract, the doctor would feel the sensation as if his or her own fingers were pressing the flesh. Using this device, doctors of the future could feel for the telltale outline of tumors and other cancerous growths in patients.

“Medical practitioners have spent years developing a highly enhanced sense of touch to allow them to carefully palpate tissue and recognise suspect lumps and bumps,” said Winstone.

“If you could take their hands and put it inside the body without opening the body up, then they can start to feel around and have an idea what’s going on,” he said.

Allowing clinicians to feel at a distance required Winstone and his collaborators to build an electromechanical fingertip on the outside of the robot. Inside the bot are an array of pins that replicate the biological features found on the internal surface of human skin. It is these pins that stimulate the receptors responsible for letting our fingertips feel. When we detect the shapes of objects, we use the Meissner’s Corpuscle, a mechanoreceptor that sits close to the surface of the skin and measures how it deforms when pressed. Similarly, when we detect how rough a surface is we rely on the Pacinian corpuscle, which acts a bit like a microphone in sensing the vibrations upon touch.

Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, the MIT economist warning societies to prepare for the upheavals automation will trigger in the job market, calls this symbiotic relationship between humans and computers “Racing with machines.”

A powerful demonstration of the concept could soon be realised by the robotic exoskeletons being made by the likes of Ekso Bionics and ReWalk. While two-legged robots currently struggle to stay upright by themselves, a human in a robotic exoskeleton promises to combine the strength of a machine with the balance of a person and may one day allow the injured and infirm to walk with ease and help construction workers and soldiers carry back-breaking loads. source

In A Humiliating Setback For The Kingdom, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Is Forced To Drastically Scale Back Plans For The Futuristic City Of NEOM

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia has been forced to scale back its $1.5 trillion plans for NEOM, a 106-mile linear desert megacity, in a humiliating climb down for the kingdom.

You know, it’s hard to be a dystopian end times dictator bent on world domination these days, just as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over in Saudi Arabia now knows. We told you back in 2022 the plans that the Crown Prince had to build his futuristic city called NEOM. NEOM consists of  THE LINE, OXAGON, TOJENA and SINDALAH that would all be the premier representation of the 15-minute city that Klaus Schwab and United Nations want us all to live in. But as Adolf Hitler before him found out, building a kingdom is really hard work, and very, very expensive, even of you’re the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” Luke 14:28 (KJB)

But fret not, these cities absolutely are coming, just as everything else we have been threatened with surrounding the United Nations 2030 Agenda is coming. The people who control the technology control the future, and we have already signed on for the technology part. Remember life before the internet? Not so many people do anymore, and besides, as much as we rail against the ‘electronic leash’ of our mobile smart devices, is anyone going to get rid of theirs? No. They are not. We have melded ourselves together with technology, and as we’ve long told you, it’s a 3-step process. First they got us in front of the computer, 1994 – 2007, then they got the computer on us, 2007 – present day, the third and last step according to Revelation 13 will be the computer inside of us. This setback is but a mere ‘blip on the radar’ for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his city of NOEM, his day is coming soon.

Humiliation for Saudi Arabia as it’s ‘forced to scale back $1.5trillion plans for 106-mile-long city The Line to just 1.5miles with workers already being laid off at desert construction site’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Line – part of the country’s audacious and futuristic NEOM project – was meant to be home to around 1.5 million residents by the end of the decade, with plans to ultimately increase its full capacity to nine million people.

Now, according to people familiar with the project, the development will only stretch 1.5 miles and house fewer than 300,000 residents by 2030, according to a new report from Bloomberg citing sources close to the project and documents.

As a result of the reduction to the construction of The Line, at least one contractor has started dismissing workers it employs on the site, the publication has said.

Stunning concept images released by the kingdom in 2022 showed a vast, mirrored structure cutting through the desert near crystal blue ocean waters. It is one of fifteen developments that form the country’s NEOM project – which also includes an industrial city, ports and tourism developments – that have been gradually announced by the kingdom since 2021.

But The Line was the jewel in Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ‘Vision 2030’ project, which was set in motion to diversify his country’s oil dependent economy, as well as its society and culture, and improve the image it projects on the world stage.

The Kingdom said the project, which is expected to cost $1.5 trillion, would be an ‘unprecedented living experience’ that preserves ‘surrounding nature’. The megacity was to feature two parallel skyscrapers extending across a swathe of desert and mountain terrain, with mirrored facades on the outside.

Saudi officials said it would be built in stages, and would eventually cover a 106-mile stretch of desert along the coast in the western Tabuk province – with its Western tip pointing out over the Red Sea towards Egypt. However, Bloomberg reports that these plans have now been dramatically scaled back – with the 106 mile structure being reduced to just 1.5 miles – a more than 98 percent decrease in size. READ MORE

In An Amazing Coincidence, The Pentagon Declassifies And Releases Documents Of A Nuclear Attack Very Much Like The Ending Of New Obama Civil War Movie

The day of nuclear Armageddon: Newly declassified documents reveal in macabre minute-by-minute detail what the end of the world would like, just like in Obama movie ‘Leave The World Behind’

In the closing scene of Barack Obama’s civil war movie ‘Leave The World Behind’, there are two things taking place. The first and main thing is we see 2 of the movie’s characters standing in the woods of Long Island at the water’s edge, watching nuclear bombs exploding over New York City. Bombs launched by the US military on the American people. The second and more arcane thing is we watch a young girl in the safe room of an abandoned mansion watching the last episode of ‘Friends’ on DVD. Took me quite a little while to puzzle that one through, but I think I got it.

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.” Matthew 26:50 (KJB)

In the movie, produced and co-written by former 2-term president of the United States, (and current president from the basement) Barack Hussein Obama, we are watching civil war conducted by the American government against its citizens, you and me. The movie leaves us with the little girl watching the last episode of ‘Friends’ to tell you that the bombs were dropped by our ‘friends’ in the government we elected to keep us safe. Civil War III. This is predictive programming at its razor-sharp best, and yes, the joke is on you. Ba-boom! 

Consider this. The first civil war ever fought in America happened in 1776, what we call the Revolutionary War. Yes, Americans fought against the British, but those British were our blood brothers and sisters. It was the Loyalists against the Patriots from the same families who were divided, America was an English colony. Benjamin Franklin worked for the American Patriots, his son William, a Loyalist for the Crown, fought and killed Americans. How crazy is that? America’s second Civil War happened in 1861 between the North and the South. Ever notice how God does things in three’s? I have, and you can bet your bottom dollar the third American Civil War is not only ‘on deck’, but walking to the stage as you read this.

A nuclear strike on the Pentagon is just the beginning of a scenario the finality of which will be the end of civilization as we know it.

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: This story, of what the moments after a nuclear missile launch could look like, is based on facts sourced from exclusive interviews with presidential advisers, cabinet members, nuclear weapons engineers, scientists, soldiers, airmen, special operators, Secret Service, emergency management experts, intelligence analysts, civil servants and others who have worked on these macabre scenarios over decades.

As the plans for General Nuclear War are among the most classified secrets held by the US government, the scenario postulated here takes the reader up to the razor’s edge of what can legally be known. Declassified documents, obfuscated for decades, fill in the details with terrifying clarity.

Because the Pentagon is a top target for a strike by America’s nuclear-armed enemies, in the scenario that follows, Washington DC gets hit first with a one megaton thermo-nuclear bomb. ‘A “Bolt out of the Blue” attack against DC is what everyone in DC fears most,’ says Andrew Weber, former assistant secretary of defence for nuclear, chemical and biological defence programmes. ‘Bolt out of the Blue’ is how US Nuclear Command and Control refers to an ‘unwarned large [nuclear] attack’.

This strike on DC initiates the beginning of an Armageddon-like nuclear war that will almost certainly follow. ‘There is no such thing as a small nuclear war,’ is an oft repeated phrase in Washington.

This is the reality of the world in which we live. The nuclear war scenario proposed in this book could happen tomorrow. Or later today. ‘The world could end in the next couple of hours,’ warns General Robert Kehler, the former commander of the United States Strategic Command. A one megaton thermonuclear weapon detonation begins with a flash of light and heat so tremendous it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend.

One hundred and eighty million degrees Fahrenheit is four or five times hotter than the temperature at the centre the Sun.

In the first fraction of a milli-second after the bomb strikes the Pentagon outside Washington DC, there is light. Soft X-ray light with a very short wavelength. The light superheats the surrounding air to millions of degrees, creating a massive fireball that expands at millions of miles per hour.

Within a few seconds the fireball has increased to a diameter of a little more than a mile, its heat so intense that concrete explodes, metal melts or evaporates, stone shatters and people instantaneously convert into combusting carbon. The five-story, five-sided structure of the Pentagon, and everything inside its 6.5 million sq ft of office space, explodes into superheated dust, all the walls shattering with the near-simultaneous arrival of a shockwave. All 27,000 employees perish instantly. Not a single thing in the fireball remains. Nothing. Ground zero is zeroed. READ MORE

A rare earthquake rocked the New Jersey and New York City area Friday morning, swaying buildings and sending terrified residents into the streets, the strongest temblor to hit the Big Apple in 130 years.

If you are still counting along with us, today is Day 1,481 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and each day brings a new appreciation of the end times we live in. As I was preparing today’s Podcast on the possible coming Bird Flu pandemic, news came of a very rare and powerful earthquake rocked New Jersey, and it was felt in New York City and all the boroughs as well. My good friend and brother in the Lord, Pastor Dave, texted me while we were on-air and said this “I’ve never felt anything like that before went on for a good 20 seconds here at work the whole building shook, sounded like a explosion or freight train coming through. Crazy!” I can’t think of a better way to describe it than that. Crazy.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB)

Christian, are you still on the sidelines after all this time, what are you waiting for? As the never-ending torrent of bad news continues to assault people’s minds and spirit on a daily basis, we who are saved have been charged with being a witness of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why don’t you purchase a dozen copies of the excellent witnessing tool “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” by end times author Dr. Bill Grady, and hand them out where you live.

Magnitude-4.8 earthquake rocks New Jersey, NYC, tri-state area

FROM THE NY POST: City officials quickly warned people of the danger of potential aftershocks — which already began in the early afternoon in New Jersey, a report said. The preliminary 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Lebanon, NJ, around 10:23 a.m., the first time a major tremor hit the area since 2011, according to the US Geological Survey.

“I was doing my morning reporting, and this safe in my office, that’s a ton, starts shaking. The whole room is shaking,” said Monique Horton, who works at the Balmain store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. “I was just freaked out. Scary, really scary. I’m a New Yorker, my whole life, 36 years, never seen anything like it.”

At the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan, a Security Council address on the Israel-Gaza conflict was interrupted as cameras began shuddering.

The Federal Aviation Administration told airlines to expect flight delays in and out of the Big Apple because of the quake. Some flights bound for New York had already diverted to other airports, according to FlightAware.

US Geological Survey figures indicate the quake might have been felt by a staggering 42 million people.

“This is one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the last century,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

The last time an earthquake with a magnitude close to, or above, 5 struck near New York City was back in 1884, the USGS said. That quake appeared to have been centered in Brooklyn. READ MORE
