If we don’t fix this, will the retail industry be able to survive? There has always been shoplifting, but in the old days it was at a level that made it only a minor nuisance to the big box retailers. Unfortunately, now everything has changed. Highly organized gangs have developed extremely sophisticated plans for how to rapidly loot our major retailers, and the best ones can be in and out in just minutes. Those goods are then resold online or in the streets, and the amounts that we are talking about are absolutely staggering. In fact, as you will see below, theft is now costing retailers in this country about 100 billion dollars a year.

Today’s blog about superluminosity – faster-than-light phenomena – might seem far removed from the previous two blogs this week, about the stamped or face value of money versus its intrinsic value, or about the problems that artificial intelligence poses not only for cyber-security, but more especially for the idea of central bank digital currencies, and the power-hungry people that want to put them into place and use them as mechanisms of control. For those, however, who have been following the latter issue, superluminal signal propagation, in conjunction with artificial intelligence, or any “higher dimensional life-form” it might transduce, is I would submit a nightmare scenario that the likes of Mr. Globalooney has no pool of experts and technocrats capable of dealing with it. In any such case, an exorcist would seem to be more capable of “dealing with it” than a modern technocrat, but that requires a kind of expertise and character that technocrats do not even like, much less acknowledge the existence of, and an exorcist or even whole teams of them might not be adequate to the task, and even they might admit it.
