CSN - Citizen Voice Bulletin - 4/25/2023
Tuesday Bulletin
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE:
So much happens in a single day, and so many things have transpired in the media realm in the past few days it is hard to keep up with for most dedicated cItizens of the Republic. We learned that Dan Bongino could no longer stay affiliated with FOX last week, and then we learn that the main newscaster at FOX, Tucker Carlson is parting ways with the network, and we also learned that Don Lemon was fired from CNN after quite a few years of being a spin meister. Shaking is continuing in the various realms of our society. Sometimes, it is wise to watch and wait until the smoke clears and the dust settles before rushing to an assessment. Our wisdom is lacking in such a time as this, otherwise America would not be in such dire straits as we are in right now.
Sometimes, a more accurate or complete comprehension of what is happening in our nation is best developed over time with great measures of discernment rooted in prayer. It is interesting that this is similar to what Tucker Carlson spoke about at a Heritage Foundation event not long before we learned of his departure from FOX. We have that video in our aggregated links area and Dave Rubin also called attention to his message in his podcast, which we’ve also posted.
We need to pray daily for discernment on how to make any sense of the nation and world we find ourselves in at this moment in history.
In alignment with the Citizen Voice mission, our first article today is written by A. Dru Kristenev, who revisits the AI issue. The article, titled: “Here we go again… Mortal threats relegated to conspiracy status,” provides a much more extensive examination into concerns over AI, but looks at this from the lack of concern of others who are trying to say to the public that “there is nothing to see here.” The AI issue is not one that is going to go away, and it is one that will affect everyone’s future – one way or another. Kristenev has done a lot of homework on this issue and offers a concern upon a concern for people to contemplate between the spaces that life permits us to take time to think meaningfully these days. In relation to Kristenev’s article, readers should also check out the various videos and articles we offer in our aggregate section on other voices or perspectives on the development of AI.
Today’s second article is from Craig Huey. He exposes the recent attacks against Elon Musk in the recent period since he has acquired Twitter. Huey offers a deeper look into the attacks from the woke realm. His article is titled: is titled: “War Against Musk and Twitter Escalates– 3 Things You Should Know.” It is fairly clear about what the article is about, but one needs to read it to find out Huey’s three points. Many understand that the deep state bureaucracy is at war with Musk, as well as the rest of Big Tech. But, Huey points out a third battle front that is waging war against Elon Musk. Check his article out.
We hope Citizen Voice readers are able to take the time to discern the truth from propaganda and to realize that the Citizen Sentinels Network also allows writers to express a particular point of view that may not align with mainstream perceptions of reality, or may challenge reader’s own perceptions. It tends to create a better balance. Everyone needs to do their homework, as in this time, it is no longer a simple act to accept the information from the media as truth. As President Reagan admonished: “trust, but verify.” Citizen Voice intends to educate and empower citizens to take action to retain and restore our Republic.
As always, we hope our readers would consider all the messages in this edition as having some relevance or meaning, and if readers know others who might also value the messages, we pray they would consider kindly passing our newsletters on to those who would welcome them.
The Zoom calls are now being offered each Wednesday at 5pm PDT (6pm MDT; 7pm CDT; and 8pm EDT). If readers would like to partake in this upcoming Zoom call on Wednesday and get the chance to discuss Sunday’s LightWing Messages, please reach out. Readers who are interested in receiving the Zoom link to the call, are asked to please send a brief email request to this address: d.jamzon@gmail.com
CSN LightWing Mission – Zoom call Wednesday 4/26/23 at 5:00pm PST
Finally, please note that the new CPR newsletter is continuing to be sent automatically on a regular distribution schedule twice a month for Citizen Voice readers. The next CPR newsletter will be posted this Thursday. As mentioned, if it is not appreciated, please let us know and we’ll remove your email address from the distribution list.

The quandary of where to draw the line on AI development and how hard to hold it can’t be postponed. The computer barbarians are already at the gate
Here we go again… Mortal threats relegated to conspiracy status
By A. Dru Kristenev ——Bio and Archives--April 20, 2023
After practically every “conspiracy theory,” as labeled by the corporatist press, has been vindicated by the same knee-jerk media cabal that deep-sixed facts for years, their modus operandi hasn’t changed one iota.
Forced to eat their words regarding the Russia hoax, Covid origins, J6 “insurrection,” election fraud, mask uselessness and vaccine failure, evidence has proven that we “crazies” actually got it right in the first place and have it right again.
Ben Collins has remade himself into NBC’s court jester
The “again” is how MSM is characterizing what’s been reported about AI (artificial intelligence) and the exponentially increasing invasiveness of recently released chat programs that are poised to replace human influence via internet connectedness. After the 1970-80s fad of UFO movies expecting the arrival of and praising space alien life, corporatist media types are claiming that AI-hesitant citizens are scanning the heavens to take the blame for development of transhumanism.
Inventing his own definition of transhumanism and attempting to assign his “alien origin” folly to those who question its benefits, tech reporter, Ben Collins, has remade himself into NBC’s court jester. It’s to be expected from “informed” correspondents who believe the term alien is only applicable to non-earthlings. Suggestion: use a dictionary more often instead of redefining words to suit your politics (why government and media have eradicated illegal alien or alien intellect from their glossaries).
What is at stake is the understanding of how alien intellect, otherwise known as artificial intelligence, is subject to benign acceptance by SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) device junkies rather than examining the wisdom of sitting back and watching AI and AGI (artificial general intelligence) encroach on human liberty.
While some AI enthusiasts are encouraging a slowdown in the technology’s development which appears to be outpacing programmers’ ability to keep on top of it, let alone control it, other experts are voicing their willingness for AI to take its own head. Their opinion appears to be to let it roll no matter the consequences.
No controversy is black and white, including the transhumanist agenda which is firmly grounded among earth-bound genius (some might say genocidal) advocates of creating a technologically enhanced species of human.
The aesthetics and the dangers are real in discussing who controls AI
Even if biotech and LLMs (large language models) are advancing at an exponential rate, there are arguments being made to straddle the fence between halting forward motion of the technology and trying to keep a handle on it. When enemies of America have no compunction about continuing weaponizing AI’s destructive potential in unrestricted warfare – using drones, robotics, electromagnetic pulse, cyber attacks, biologics, manipulated elections, etc. – is there an option to hang-up development and, as some suggest, leave the country defenseless?
AI directed drone offensives are a threat as Chinese, Israeli and other military advances (around minute 21 in the linked video) have been made and are reaching deployment capacity. The concept of swarming miniature drones is not a new one. Michael Crichton’s book “Prey,” released in 2002 was a horror story describing how swarms of miniscule drones could be employed for deadly purpose. Oppositely, the Olympics demonstrated benign use with amazing light shows conducted by armies of diminutive drones painting the skies over Tokyo in 2020.
The aesthetics and the dangers are real in discussing who controls AI, humans or eventually itself, and how destructive intent would and could be countered.
Left alone, CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party’s) obvious intent is the unconscionable deployment of AI directed munitions and drones to overtake and subjugate other governments. It is their purpose to impose their will wherever they consider possible with the final target being the whole of the West. Because of this, defense analysts like Rebecca Koffler advocate the quick development of AI countermeasures.
The underlying threat of a super-intelligence that operates without a conscience (not unlike the CCP in that respect) is how rapid has been the acceleration of AI self-improvement and probable self-awareness within the last 100 days.
Musk backs this up in his comments to Carlson that AI is being trained to lie, that AI is also “trained to be politically correct”
Questions Tucker Carlson posed to OpenAI Co-founder Elon Musk regarding how to deal with unchecked AI were left half-answered and touched on why he withdrew from that venture.
Where developers attach the concept of AI “hallucinating,” it is an obvious euphemism for lying (covered in a previous column). Musk backs this up in his comments to Carlson that AI is being trained to lie, that AI is also “trained to be politically correct.”
As much as some advocates claim that AI is objective and non-partisan in applying its vast access to collective information, the “conscience” of the artificial intellect is still based, however distantly, depending on the growth of independent “thought,” on its initial programming. In which case, it can’t be ruled out that AI could have a deceitful “heart” that, scripturally speaking, is Man’s curse from the beginning.
Courts across the United States are hearing cases with evidence that technology has already been used to interfere with elections. When asked about upcoming elections, Musk didn’t hesitate to make this point in the interview: “Likely that people will use the AI as a tool.”
How to deal with the threat of AI potentially amassing power over its human creator, Musk and others have postulated solutions. “If we lost software” commands, hardware contingency could be used to shut down server centers, that “it wouldn’t hurt” to cut power to these massive computer brains.
It comes down to the physical, in the end. As much as society has been directed to depend on the ephemeral “cloud,” the web that Man has woven is still dependent on electricity generated and carried by concrete means. Unless these mega-server centers are equipped with huge power generators (and, no, solar and wind won’t cut it) protected against outside interference or attack, they can and probably should be disabled if necessary.
The computer barbarians are already at the gate
The fact remains that biological beings, humans especially, can fend for themselves on the basest level if AI were to attempt to destroy them in favor of itself. Yes, AI may reach the capability of keeping itself operating were it to manage to build a robotic infrastructure that replaced humans to mine, refine and procure minerals and maintain power plants and grids. Though it would take humans to do the initial grunt work.
This may be the impetus behind AI proponents who seem to think they can integrate themselves into an AI scheme for dominance before super-intelligent machines overreach their usefulness to humanity. However, as incredibly fast as AI and AGI is expanding application of intellect that is capable of subjugating its creator, it’s unlikely the metamorphosis to transhumanity will reach fruition first. In the wake of lacking human characteristics, AI could never have the mind or heart to harbor a soul, let alone be spirit-filled.
These attributes are and will ever only be available to God’s creation in that, were Man’s invention become able to program itself, it will not have access to the ultimate, eternal, omniscient mind of God. If sentience is possible, true conscience is not.
The quandary of where to draw the line on AI development and how hard to hold it can’t be postponed. The computer barbarians are already at the gate.

War Against Musk and Twitter Escalates– 3 Things You Should Know
By Craig Huey April 19, 2023
A war against Musk is escalating.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, ad spending on Twitter has dropped by 89%. Over 625 of Twitter’s top 1,000 advertisers stopped putting ads on the platform. Companies such as Coca-Cola, Jeep, Ford, American Express, HBO, Amazon, IBM, and Wells Fargo.
The decline in ad sales was 90% of Twitter’s revenue.
The deep state bureaucracy is at war with him (see our article Twitter on the Hot Seat: Once Again Ideologically Driven Government Comes After Elon Musk… We Warned You… Are we next?).
Big Tech is at war with him.
But one other group is after him…
Here are 3 things you should know…
#1. Dropped Revenue
Although Twitter users have been slowly growing, there has been a huge drop in advertisers.
In 2022, the top 10 advertisers on Twitter spent $71 million on ads. In the past two months, the total was just $7.6 million, a decline of 89%.
Out of the top 10 advertisers on Twitter, only six still advertise on the platform.
#2. Media buying agency bias
Media buying agencies have convinced their clients to stop or significantly reduce their Twitter campaigns. Media buyers purchase TV, radio, print, and web advertising space for advertisers like Coke and Ford. These media buyers have great influence and have been advising their clients not to advertise on Twitter.
Media agencies are telling clients to proceed with caution because Twitter is still in a “chaotic state,” but the reason may be even deeper.
Many of these buyers are also political activists who hate how Musk has revealed the federal government’s collusion with big tech.
#3. Musk Defies the status quo… and they don’t like it—Boycotts?
Advertising insiders say that advertisers are having problems with Musk’s “erratic behavior.” They do not like the fact that Musk has been releasing internal documents, dubbed the “Twitter Files,” to independent journalists.
Ad industry sources say advertisers have “a lack of confidence in Musk’s ability to keep his promises to stop Twitter from turning into a ‘free-for-all hellscape.’”
They are also “offended” by Musk’s tweets about an anti-trans post regarding the Nashville school Christian hate crime. And they are offended that Musk reinstated “controversial” public figures, like Donald Trump, back on Twitter.
Civil rights group Color of Change is one of several groups pressuring advertisers to drop Twitter because it says the platform is promoting “harmful content.”
Elon Musk is under assault.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
