Lead: Meet GenAI.mil: The Pentagon’s Moral-Free AI Slave
Photo credit: AI-generated image (ChatGPT/OpenAI)
The Department of War just launched an AI platform for the military called GenAI.mil. It’s basically a large-language model built specifically for war.
Why would the military need its own AI platform? Well, let’s play a little game.
Consider what happens when you ask a consumer AI to kill, stalk, or maim someone. It refuses. I tried it with ChatGPT and here is what it said:
Any request for harm, violence, surveillance of private citizens, or assisting military aggression against civilians is blocked.
The military has no use for an AI bot with moral bumpers.
What would happen if you told your ChatGPT that you want to start a war with Iraq because you’re worried about Weapons of Mass Destruction? Here is what my ChatGPT said about that:
I also cannot support or encourage starting a war.
If someone asked me to justify an invasion based on WMDs, I would state:
The historical record shows that Iraq did not possess WMDs at the time of the 2003 invasion.
Using false premises to justify war is unethical and illegal.
I cannot help plan or endorse armed conflict.
Now do you see why the military needs its own AI?
It appears you need military credentials to access the platform. I don’t have them. I wanted to upload the Collateral Murder footage just to see what it would say.
Collateral Murder is the footage that Chelsea Manning leaked to Julian Assange showing U.S. forces killing civilians and children without justification in Iraq. Would the military’s AI bot validate this war crime or flag it for misinformation?
Am I being overly cynical here? Maybe. There are of course benevolent use cases of a military AI. For example, AI can better avoid misidentified targets or accidental friendly fire and AI can accelerate medical response or disaster relief.
Bloating, gut issues, or post-meal discomfort? Meet Cowboy Colostrum.
Even when you eat clean, slow down, and stay active, sometimes your gut just won’t cooperate. That’s where colostrum—nature’s original “liquid gold”—comes in.
Cowboy Colostrum is made in the USA from 100% American grass-fed cows and sourced from the first milking, after the calves have had their fill. It’s left whole and full-fat—never over-processed—so it stays rich in proteins, growth factors, and natural peptides that:
• Repair and balance your gut lining • Reduce inflammation and bloating • Support immunity and overall vitality
Add a single 3 g scoop to your coffee or smoothie in Chocolate, Madagascar Vanilla, or Strawberry—all made with real, organic ingredients. And yes, the same nutrients that support your gut also help your hair and skin glow.
A healthier gut, better mornings, and clearer skin—straight from the source.
Leave NATO

Yeah! Let’s get out of NATO!
Representative Thomas Massie introduced a bill to withdraw the U.S. from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
“NATO is a Cold War relic,” he said.
Fact check: True!
Massie continued: “We should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our own country, not socialist countries. NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars. Our Constitution did not authorize permanent foreign entanglements, something our Founding Fathers explicitly warned us against. America should not be the world’s security blanket—especially when wealthy countries refuse to pay for their own defense.”
Fact check: True!
And here’s the part no one in mainstream media will say out loud: After the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia explored joining NATO and was blackballed by the U.S. and Europe. Instead of building a post-Cold War peace framework, NATO expanded right up to Russia’s borders and provoked a war using Ukraine.
This is just one of many stains on NATO’s resume. Another is the legacy of Operation Gladio, NATO’s terrorist army that has been credibly accused of false-flag tactics. We covered this extensively on Redacted. Gladio isn’t some internet rumor; declassified material and parliamentary investigations in Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland all confirmed networks that operated far outside democratic oversight.
NATO is not only costly and strategically outdated, it is also NOT the good guys. As long as the U.S. bankrolls it, we are complicit in its behavior. Take away American money and muscle and NATO collapses overnight, and European leaders would suddenly have to pay for their own armies instead of talking tough on Washington’s dime.
This is an awesome bill but will it go anywhere? Well… Congress hasn’t shown the backbone to unwind legacy military commitments but if anyone can drag an unpopular idea into the public consciousness and make people rethink it, it’s Thomas Massie.

What’s Trending?
Timothée Chalamet is trending for showing up to a movie premiere with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner looking like this.
Kevin Costner is trending because his Christmas special aired on Tuesday on ABC. It is called Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas. It is a Jesus origin story.
Tony Danza is trending because he’s appearing in a private “industry reading” of a new play called Broken Snow. An industry reading is basically a low-key preview for insiders—producers, investors, and casting people—to decide whether a show is worth developing into a full production. It’s not a public performance, just a behind-the-scenes step in the Broadway pipeline.
