Will a Post-COVID Public Trust the Same Officials a Second Time? The AI Scare Is the Test.
Updated
For many Americans, it’s nearly automatic to now see social and political moves through the trained, clearly focused eyes courtesy of the trauma created by the failed pandemic.
Greater-good narratives, highly funded and deeply curated to make authorities appear benevolent and acting in the interest of the public, are nothing new. Both in real time and in hindsight, it all fell apart for the pandemic perpetrators, many still evading justice, leading to the largest mass awakening in our lifetimes.
We know what they did. And they know what they did. And at some level, they know that we know what they did.
Pandemic policies and COVID shot mandates are socially repugnant and political poison, yet there still remains a collection of officials who hold onto the virtue of standing for ‘the science’ while ironically ignoring it.
Without apologizing for COVID crimes, they carried their formed East and West Coast health alliances to continue COVID shot mandates and fight HHS Secretary Kennedy at every step to keep the corporate-created chronic health disease industry from correcting.
Then something happened. With investigative journalists still dusting and fingerprinting the COVID crime scene, the perpetrators now appear to be striking again.
It arguably started with Bill Gates.
Universally disliked, Gates has recoiled and left the public sphere after his lead in the COVID op, where his deep partnerships with both Jeffrey Epstein and Fauci were the triad that created the pandemic industrial complex that COVID rode in on.
Suddenly, Gates sprang back into the media. He had something to say. Just like the pandemic, it was another end-of-the-world prognostication.
“Bill Gates…is loudly warning that artificial intelligence poses a grave threat to jobs and human life, and that urgently addressing the risks should be ‘the world’s top priority,’” wrote The New York Times, which has gifted him an hour-long interview.
Gates’ world-ending public fear campaign record stands at 0-3 (climate, COVID, and over population/eugenics), with no apologies or the allowance of unscripted interviews to face real questions.
But we are expected to believe that this time, his A.I. fear campaign is on the button.
Gates coming forward was an activation switch, a rally signal drawing an official demarcation line between the pandemic op and the new pre-planned solution for a problem that may not exist.
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul was the next to join in days after Gates in an interview, confessing that the Democrats will use resistance to artificial intelligence as a ‘political weapon’ to win back power.
Hillary Clinton, like Gates, was also rolled out for a rare interview to call for an Operation Warp Speed to control A.I. because it created a vaccine that was so effective in saving people’s lives.
Sen. Bernie Sanders added momentum, announcing his forthcoming Ban Artificial Super-intelligence Act legislation to “stop AI oligarchs from building machines humans cannot control.”
Former President Obama chimed in too with a rare media push, as reported by The New York Times, urging the Democrats to move A.I. oversight to the center of their agenda. The recommendations amount to some of his most detailed comments yet about A.I. as a political weapon for his party.
In the mix was an artificial media salvo appearing from the same narrative. Last week, an unremarkable 27-year-old who spent a mere four months at Anthropic A.I. was force-fed to legacy media audiences in unison. With no real social media footprint to speak of, Jacob Coxon appeared to game the X algorithm for a threaded post that went viral, with now over 170M views, causing X owner Elon Musk to comment on its irregularity.

Coxon’s takeaway message: “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.”
The pre-positioned Wall Street Journal preceded his X post, hinting at higher-level coordination. For a forgettable, low-level Anthropic employee with little experience, Coxon received disproportionate media attention, getting immediate back-to-back interviews on NBC’s Meet the Press, then with George Stephanopoulos on ABC, the BBC, Special Report with Bret Baier onFox News, CNN with Anderson Cooper, CBS News, and the Megyn Kelly Show.
The common theme of all the interviews was Coxon’s curated talking points and inability to fully explain how AI will kill us all with any real detail.
The goals of the apparent operation unfolding seem, much like the COVID op, to be an attempt to concentrate power over people through a sector, a narrative, and a coordinated political push.
With COVID, emergency pandemic powers were cloaked in science, with Big Pharma on the business end. Here we have another call for emergency-like powers in Sen. Sanders’ act, this time with tech industry leaders and ‘whistleblowers’ warning of humanity’s end, with levers of A.I.’s power being jockeyed for.
We are in the middle of the first real social and political adherence test to determine if the public will trust many of the same officials who ran the COVID pandemic op once again and follow them into an anti-AI agenda. Prepare accordingly.
