The first Neuralink product is called “Telepathy.”

Elon Musk on Monday announced that the first human patient has received a brain implant from his startup, Neuralink – which according to Musk “Enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking.”

“Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal,” Musk continued.

(And imagine how many more alleged orgies Hawking could attend!)

The Neuralink brain implant, called Telpathy, was designed to help people with traumatic brain injuries operate electronic devices only with their thoughts. It uses ultra-fine “threads” to help transmit signals. In May, the company received FDA approval to conduct human trials in a study which uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in an area of the brain that controls our ability to move. The company announced late last year that it was recruiting patients with quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Musk said that the initial results of the implant “show promising neuron spike detection.”

According to Kip Ludwig, co-director of the Wisconsin Institute for Translational Neuroengineering at the University of Wisconsin, ‘neuron spike detection’ means the company is receiving data from the patient’s brain, Bloomberg reports, adding that monkeys with the implants have been able to play computer games with their brains alone.

For several years, Musk has said that implanting a human with his device was imminent. In July 2019, he predicted surgery in a human head by year’s end. Meanwhile, other companies such as Synchron moved ahead implanting their own devices into human brains, opening Neuralink to the suggestion it was falling behind. Monday’s news will likely blunt that criticism.

The long timetable underscores how tough the task ahead is for Neuralink. The startup’s chips aim to go less than 2 millimeters into the brain. That’s still deeper than many other systems, such as the one in development from Precision Neuroscience, which sits on top of the brain tissue. -Bloomberg

Last June, Neuralink was valued at around $5 billion.

Hopefully the socialists don’t start a Borg collective.

Alex Jones: We’ve Moved Beyond The Crossroads, It’s Time To Choose A Side

US troops killed by the drone strike in Jordan had died “fighting on behalf of this administration”…that is Biden, rather than America.

Public outrage and massive pushback has ensued after in a Monday interview White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre asserted that the three US troops killed by the drone strike in Jordan had died “fighting on behalf of this administration”…that is Biden, rather than America.

“Our deepest, obviously our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost, uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave, three folks who are military folks, who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of, uh, this administration…,” Jean-Pierre told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”. She had in the moment tried to quickly correct by adding after “administration”… the words “of the American people, obviously more so, more importantly.” Still, it reveals the apparent thinking and approach of this administration. 

Watch:

The three soldiers who gave their lives are simply and casually “folks” – as referenced in the interview. Also, we don’t even really have to point this out, but one can only imagine the rage and chaos if the Trump administration had ever claimed that fallen Americans had died for his administration.

Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, was one among many who slammed her statements as “disgusting”. He tweeted, “Say what you will about this word salad, but the idea that anyone in the military is fighting on behalf of any administration is precisely what is wrong with the DC ruling class.”

Below are the identifies of the three Americans who tragically lost their lives, who were all serving in the same Army unit based out of Georgia: Sgt. William Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, of Savannah.

Update(1114ET): Some surprising details and admissions have emerged out of the Pentagon on Monday connected to the drone attack on Jordanian base Tower 22, related to the question of how the base’s anti-air defenses could have failed so badly. First, in our prior reporting (below), we linked to Moon of Alabama which asked some key questions not being addressed amid the frenzy of international reporting and growing speculation [emphasis ZH]: 

The reporting so far does not answer many arising questions. Tower 22 is on the Jordanian side of the boarder but Jordan insists that no attack had happened on its grounds.

Another anomaly are the high rate of wounded from the alleged drone strike. Drones are used in mass in the Ukraine war but the casualties they cause are usually less than a handful per drone.

The highly automated short and medium range air-defenses (C-RAMs, the equivalent of naval Phalanx guns) at the base should be able to shoot down any drone. Why didn’t they work?

Later in the day Monday, some of these questions are being answered. The Wall Street Journal cited US officials who spoke to the failure of the base’s anti-air defenses:

The U.S. failed to stop a deadly attack on an American military outpost in Jordan because the enemy drone approached its target at the same time a U.S. drone was also returning to base, U.S. officials said Monday. 

The return of the U.S. drone led to some confusion over whether the incoming drone was friend or foe, officials have concluded so far. 

The enemy drone was launched from Iraq by a militia backed by Tehran, U.S. officials said. The outpost, Tower 22, sits in Jordan, hard on the borders of Iraq and Syria.

In total three US service members died and at least 34 were injured, with eight of these having been medically evacuated to a hospital in Germany.

At a moment some US Congressional hawks are clamoring to start a war with Iran, WSJ writes further, “The U.S. has yet to find evidence thus far that Iran directed the attack, a U.S. defense official said Monday.”

Below is an example of a C-RAM in action… this is what ideally should have happened as the inbound enemy drone got closer to the Tower 22 base:

ran has vehemently denied that it was behind the weekend drone attack on a Jordanian base near the Syrian border which killed three American troops, and according to a revised figure injured 34. A one-way drone reportedly slammed into a tent which was housing soldiers at the base, which is why casualties are so high, but questions remain.

Tehran has called the accusations that it was behind the attack “baseless” after President Biden on Sunday vowed “We shall respond”. Within the hours after news of the attack on Jordan’s Tower 22 base there were widespread reports that Iranian allied groups in Iraq and Syria were temporarily evacuating their bases, expending retaliatory airstrikes.

Iranian allies are now bracing for a major US response to the deadly attack on the Jordanian outpost, according to the Wall Street Journal. Already there’s been an apparent Israeli airstrike on a Damascus suburb, resulting in the deaths of two people, said to be targeting an “Iranian-backed group”. 

Even as Iran has denied involvement, an Iranian-linked group called “Islamic Resistance of Iraq” has taken responsibility for the Jordanian base attack. The core of the ‘resistance’ coalition in Iraq continues to be Kateeb Hizballah however, as Washington Post explains further of the details:

“Tower 22”, the U.S. base in NE Jordan where three American troops were just killed, overlooks a Syrian refugee camp called Rukban, where 15,000 people have been living for years. It is also near the Al-Tanf Garrison, where a couple hundred U.S. troops are based.

This is a crucial node between Iraq and Syria that Iranian militias have long sought to control. There have been several drone attacks on Tanf since Oct. 7. This is a brazen escalation.

The group that will claim responsibility calls themselves the “Islamic Resistance of Iraq,” but that’s really a post Oct 7 umbrella group of IRGC sponsored militias. The actual attackers were likely Kateeb Hizballah with support of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujab and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq.

The Washington Post analysis goes on to claim that Islamic Resistance of Iraq has direct IRGC backing and was formed in order to “target Americans” – also at a moment the Iraqi government has made clear that it wants US troops out of the country.

Iran appears to be seeking to cool tensions while bracing for potential strikes…

The three US troop deaths constitute the first American military fatalities since Oct.7 and the war in Gaza began, though there have been over 150 attacks targeting US bases and outposts in Iraq and Syria. While the initial assumption has been that the drone was launched from Syria, this has ultimately yet to be determined pending a Pentagon investigation.

Meanwhile, Axios reports that Biden’s national security team convened several times on Sunday. Biden and his top officials say that a “significant military response” against pro-Iranian militias is coming. “We don’t want war but those who are behind this attack need to feel our response,” one unnamed admin official told Axios on Sunday evening.

Attack location

What remains clear is that the US has once again backed itself into a corner in the Middle East. Sporadic ‘deterrent’ strikes either on militant camps or Houthi positions related to the Red Sea crisis have not done anything, and yet bigger American military intervention would inevitably lead to another all-out US war in the Middle East and thus a new endless quagmire.

“We don’t want a wider war with Iran, we don’t want a wider war in the region, but we gotta to do what we gotta to do,” National security (NSC) spokesman John Kirby said Monday. “We certainly know Iran is backing these groups … we are taking it very seriously.” It’s never a good sign when the NSC, which is absolutely the most ‘insider’ of the deep state, shrugs and says “we gotta do what we gotta do…” when it comes to matters of war (which once upon a time required the authorization of the people’s direct representatives in Congress).

This development occurred several weeks after a 737 Max 9 experienced a near-mid-air catastrophe over Portland.

Boeing announced Monday evening that it had withdrawn an application to the Federal Aviation Administration for a safety exemption concerning the 737 Max 7 following an issue with the aircraft’s anti-ice system.

This development occurred several weeks after a 737 Max 9 experienced a near-mid-air catastrophe over Portland. 

“We have informed the FAA that we are withdrawing our request for a time-limited exemption relating to the engine inlet deicing system on the 737-7,” Boeing said in a statement. 

The planemaker continued: “While we are confident that the proposed time-limited exemption for that system follows established FAA processes to ensure safe operation, we will instead incorporate an engineering solution that will be completed during the certification process.” 

Reuters first reported the withdrawal, which now complicates the scheduled timeline for certifying MAX 7 jets. 

The withdrawal comes amid mounting pressure from Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Aviation Safety, who called on the FAA to reject Boeing’s waiver for the yet-to-be-certified Max 7.

“While Boeing should never have sought this exemption to put another new aircraft with a known safety defect into service in the first place, I’m both relieved and appreciative that they are putting the flying public’s safety first by withdrawing this petition,” Duckworth said Monday.

She added: “I hope this decision marks the beginning of a turnaround in Boeing’s safety culture moving forward and I encourage the company to put its full focus into fixing the known safety flaw on the MAX 7 and other MAX aircraft that could lead to catastrophic consequences for passengers and crew.”

Bloomberg cited Wall Street analysts who expect Max 7 and Max 10 delays. 

Less than a week ago, United Airline’s Chief Executive Scott Kirby told CNBC’s Phil LeBeau on ‘Squawk Box’ that he is “disappointed” in Boeing’s ongoing manufacturing problems and the need for it to restore its previous reputation for quality.

“We pushed further and further to the right and already started working on alternative plans, and the Max 9 groundings are the straw that broke the camel’s back for us, and we’ll build a plan that doesn’t have the Max 10 in it,” Kirby told LeBeau. 

What’s concerning is Boeing appears to have prioritized profits and stock buybacks over public safety.
