Freedoms Democrats Take Away Are Not Coming Back

January 16, 2013 by Bob Prokop 10 Comments

March 28, 2024:

No sane American trusts Biden administration’s promise to use AI to protect our rights and freedoms

It’s absolutely astounding that the serial lying Biden White House thinks it can pull the AI wool over our eyes. For this president and VP Harris to even whisper words like “moral” and “ethical” should evoke uncontrollable laughter and derision, at best.

This is an administration that repeatedly proves incapable of telling the truth about anything. We were promised the border is secure and then lied to about the cause of the obvious insecurity which the president claims he is powerless to fix. Biden promised to end the fossil fuel industry. When that went south and gas prices exploded he blamed the problem on Vladimir Putin.

Whether it’s the millions of jobs the president did not create, the amazing success of Bidenomics that exists solely in Biden’s mind and not the pocketbooks of consumers, the lies about the Chinese spy balloon the administration allowed to draft over our country unmolested, knowledge and involvement in Hunter’s profitable foreign business affairs, or even the death of his son Beau that he repeatedly claims happened in Iraq, Joe Biden is a serial liar leading a White House that is fundamentally incapable of honesty.

Now the administration has a new tool to spread information, but don’t worry. Biden and Harris will protect your rights and freedoms from government abuse of artificial intelligence.

Misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and lies are perfect vehicles for AI

Misinformation, disinformation, and angry partisan propaganda are the bulwarks of Biden White House communications:

And then, after losing in 2-20 election — the 2020 election, I should say — Trump finished his presidency by sending a mob to attack the Capitol.480

Spreading hate for political opponents goes back to the president’s anti-MAGA Battle for the Soul of the Nation address, continued with this year’s State of the Union rant, and characterizes hypocritical attacks on a presidential candidate the wheels of weaponized Democrat Party justice are doing their utmost to destroy:

Donald Trump’s vision for America is one of anger — for real — anger, hate, revenge, retribution — some of the oldest ideas known to humankind.481

A few breaths later, the president lied again:

Look, above all, like all of you, I see a future for all Americans, where we demonize no one, where we give hate no safe harbor.482

Trump and the conservative Americans who support him should have no such expectations.

AI Czar Harris promises to protect our rights and freedom

During a Raleigh, North Carolina campaign appearance Vice President Kamala Harris had the audacity to pretend the administration cares about freedom, democracy and the rule of law:

The United States is a global role model for freedom, democracy, and rule of law. Imperfect though we may be, we have the earned and self-appointed authority to walk in those rooms and talk about the importance of democracy and rule of law.483

She should look up the definition of “Banana Republic.” That’s what America is now and the reason any involvement in AI by the lying, deceiving, dishonest Biden White House spells doom for that proud, historic legacy.

The Biden administration’s overreaching efforts to censor dissent that created a much-ballyhooed, anti-First Amendment “Disinformation Governance Board” and collusion with Big Tech casts massive doubt on this transparently phony reassurance from AI champion Harris:

So, I believe that all leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector have a moral, ethical, and societal duty to make sure that artificial intelligence is adopted and advanced in a way that protects the public from potential harm while ensuring everyone is able to enjoy its full benefit.484

She should have replaced “everyone” with “Democrats.”

Perhaps one day the lying hacks that infest the Biden White House and their complicit mass media will be replaced by moral, ethical Americans who understand the meaning of truth.

In the meantime, our cackling, do-nothing Vice President should not be involved in a technology with limitless potential to deceive and disinform.

Biden and Harris will use AI to protect our rights. Yes, you should be very afraid.

By now, most Americans who do care about morals, ethics, and societal obligations have learned to read between the lines to interpret what Biden and Harris mean when they say things we know can’t possibly be true.

During an artificial intelligence press call today, Harris laid out three “binding requirements” for government use of this evolving, highly abusable technology.

First came an appeal to protecting our rights:

First, we are announcing new standards to protect rights and safety. When government agencies use AI tools, we will now require them to verify that those tools do not endanger the rights and safety of the American people.485

If Biden and Harris are concerned about our safety, they can start with the border. If they lose sleep over protecting our rights, they should compare the political persecution of Donald Trump, January 6th defendants, and Trump officials like Peter Navarro who just went to prison for refusing to honor a congressional subpoena to the hands-off treatment of subpoena evader Hunter Biden, 2020’s violent Black Lives Matter peaceful protesters, illegal immigrants, and classified document hoarder Joe Biden.

We know what Harris means by protecting rights and safety. Trust me, if you are a conservative your rights and safety are not their concern.

Transparency, accountability, and other hoaxes

Next on the AI protection list was transparency:

The second requirement — binding requirement relates to transparency. The American people have a right to know that when and how their government is using AI that it is being used in a responsible way. And we want to do it in a way that holds leaders accountable for the responsible use of AI. Transparency often, and we believe, should facilitate accountability.486

The Biden administration is incapable of defining transparency and accountability as it applies to Joe’s historically opaque, accountable-for-nothing White House. These are maxims that rely on honesty and truthfulness, two more values this administration is unfamiliar with. In the absence of transparency, truth, and accountability from our government, any use of AI is a terrifying prospect and with a pivotal presidential election around the corner and a Democrat Party that will stop at nothing to destroy Donald Trump, an absolute threat to the survival of our democracy.

Responsible AI relies on government officials who don’t know what responsible means

It’s reassuring to know that we will have AI officers across the entirety of the government to make sure their respective agencies are dedicated to responsible oversight:

Third and finally, a requirement that relates to internal oversight. We have directed all federal agencies to designate a chief AI officer with the experience, expertise, and authority to oversee all — I’m going to emphasize that — all AI technologies used by that agency. And this is to make sure that AI is used responsibly, understanding that we must have senior leaders across our government who are specifically tasked with overseeing AI adoption and use.487

Just think of the possibilities when Alejandro “the border is secure” Mayorkas, Merrick “protect Biden at all costs” Garland, Pete “racist roads” Buttigieg, Antony “America dead last” Blinken, and other prominent Biden officials step up to ensure the fair and equal, non-partisan implementation of AI by their agencies.

Remember Nina Jankowicz, who was tapped to head Homeland Security’s Disinformation Board? That’s where we are headed with AI. If you think for a second that anyone in the lying Biden White House will protect you from the consequences, you have probably already contributed to the president’s reelection campaign.

    People do not understand how the Democrats and the Obama administration are slowly strangling the very freedoms that the Revolution was fought for. The facts are clear when you see the Constitution being trampled on by Obama, and then realize that he could not pass a gun owner background check, which is why he has sealed “ALL” of his records.
    If congress were to pass any new legislation on background checking it must include the requirement that “ALL” politicians running for public office must “PASS” those requirements or be disqualified.
    As it stands right now, Obama could not ” PASS” a standard FBI check from the details that were written in his book, which is why his certification was challenged. The judges that had cases before them refused to hear the arguments and thusly dismissed those cases. What gutless wonders we have in the justice system including the Supreme Court.

    Obama is tearing our nation apart. and he is banking on the ignorant that don’t pay attention. obama has a shady past and i am not convinced that he is a true citizen of the united states. If you vote democrat you are voting to end america as a freedom country. Obama is taking it all away and people are not paying attention. when it’s gone and you are under the control of a dictator you will wish you had paid attention. but this country has been under attack before obama but now it’s speeded up so much it will be a miracle if we can keep it

      We’ll find out next week how well people are paying attention, won’t we, Sandy? I agree, it’s pretty amazing that no matter how bad things are or how misguided the actions of public officials, they still manage to convince people to support what they do. Watch what happens in the Illinois governor’s race next week. If Pat Quinn wins, it’s a pretty good sign that we are truly lost.

    freedom from harm is not a reasonable freedom. Freedom from unjust aggression is reasonable, and the primary reason for government.

      Thanks for your remarks, Ed. Interesting how some of what’s happening now at the hands of government could be considered unjust aggression, like the searches they conducted in Rhode Island looking for New Yorkers. It’s difficult to know where to draw the line between government overreach and the public interest, but that was quite a line to cross.

        I don’t know if the intention was to turn lies into the sole means of communicating with the people to the complete exclusion of the truth, but it has certainly paid off for Democrats and the White House.
