Red Beacon Daily News 06.26.2026

Come in the Rebigan Daily News. Folks. It is June sixteen, twenty twenty six. James Walton, You're host here today's show sponsored by Disastercoffee dot Com. We look to the hopefully ending war in the Middle East and we see a big divide between what is expected of both sides and wondering how an MoU can be signed when both sides aren't fully in agreement yet but the gas price is down. Iran says deal to end war requires is rarely withdrawal from Lebanon global shipping groups, a weight proof of safety before resuming hormones crossings. And President is hoping for a very good relationship with Iran and is reiterating the fact that no nuclear weapon right, no weapon, no big bomb. There is talks of a three hundred billion dollar i RAN plan that would help when reconstruction and would come from surrounding Middle Eastern states. I find this very hard to believe. I find this one very hard to believe, arka who foots the bill. As per usual, we knock your castle over, then we rebuild it. But such is life, right, such is life. Let's take a look at the well, sort of a high level overview of skynet in its current iteration. You're a I assistant here. We've got a bit of a good news situation. So it looks like international experts are highlighting significant risks from the rapid AI advancement, cyber attacks, weapons development, and ten percent higher catastrophic outcomes within five years if these risks are left unaddressed. There's been I don't know this to be a fact, but there's been an uptick in robocalls, slash spam calls to my phone, family's phones, friends phones, hosts phones. And it's my assumption that, you know, AI is more efficient than humans. People are leveraging this technology for all sorts of things, and the bad guys are leveraging it too. You know. Concerns include AI systems making critical infrastructure more vulnerable, the spread of deep fakes and manipulation, AI generated content flooding the web of course, and potentially corrupting information E goes. And this is an understatement. It also says, reducing the visibility of human reporting. You know, So, how many bad studies have to go in before the good study gets buried? How much bad data goes into a system before the system is untrustworthy? It's a big deals. Cybersecurity experts note that AI is lowering barriers for sophisticated attacks. As I mentioned, it's a big deal. You know, it's a big deal. It's bigger than robots. It's bigger than terminators, do you know what I mean. It's bigger than AI power drones with facial recognition. It's bigger than that. Like, it's way bigger than that. It's trust and the pillars of society big and we have to be aware of that. And you also have to be aware of the fact that the real world is out there, you know, so it's always as capable until it's no longer escapable. I think that we need an age of paper information again, you know, libraries, the whole nine yards. It just seems like the digital world is doomed if they don't get AI under control, not because of malice, but because of just sheer content output and crappy content output of that, you know, and then the the the idea that I trust nothing on the Internet. That's it. Then it's gone. That's when it's gone. So I wanted to talk to you today in the uh Prepper Tech Spotlight on Red Beacon Daily News about something that seems well, it's old tech, but it is tech and it's a cool company that was in our Black Friday Preppers Black Friday catalog last year. They were called heater Meals, and heater meals are basically meals that you use mr technology. But they'd all it's it's a single meal that uses the same heat technology as MRIs but it's in a single packet. So the meal comes in a single packet. It can be heated in that packet, served up a hot anywhere, anytime, any place. And sometimes old tech looks good, you know what I mean, Sometimes old tech looks good. They're ready in minutes. The menus are you know, we got like a chili mac. They're kind of standard per emergency food and stuff, you know what I mean. Like not, I don't think there's many that are completely breathtaking and new, but there is something to be said about having a hot meal in the backpack, you know what I mean. They do have a new heater Meal's ex plus. When I do these Prepper tech spotlights, I just want you to know these guys are not sponsored. I mean, this is just stuff that it works or stuff that I think is worth looking into. We got a hearty beef stew, a Southwestern style chicken with beans and rice, Tex Mex style beans and rice, white chicken, chili chicken noodle, Home style, and Italian style pasta. Oh I was wrong with vegetables and tomato sauce. This one actually has kidney beans in it. That's probably pretty good. I thought it was chili mac. I was wrong. So heater meals of your interest. You can check those guys out. Pretty cool self heating meal. Great for the bug out bag, back, back camping, all those things, you know, just a cool little option. There's so much out there. There's so much great tech out There's so many companies doing amazing things right, hands on capability that lets you, you know, do things the way you want to do them right. Rebel against the total dependence of our time. Feel that sense of self reliance to be eating a warm meal on the sliff side. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. So to wrap up today's show, we don't have a good news segment. Not that there aren't it. You know, I spent my whole evening looking at good news, really, and I went down a rabbit hole of like wedding proposals, because in the world that I live, and you forget that beautiful things like that happen, and they happened all the time. They're happening every day. There's something dude right now probably thinking, like, on my lunch break, I'm gonna go look at rings. Now's the time, And that's the beginning of an adventure that you can't even begin to wrap your head around. Right where I lived and what I lived for From Walden Henry David Thureaux, our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases, he may add his ten toes and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not one hundred or a thousand instead of a million, count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, like that, in the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms in quicksands and thousand and one items to be allowed for that a man has to live if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make it his port at all by dead reckoning. And he must be a great calculator, indeed, who succeeds simplify, simplify. It's hard to believe that all the way back then, Threau saw, or Threau felt the pressures of modernity, he threw them off and warn the world of more to come. And now we all largely suffer under the pressures of those modern responsibilities and tasks. And how many things do you have to do today? I have to have a book of to do list in order to keep up with it all. Imagine a life where you woke up with two to three things to do each day. Many of us couldn't even stand it. That's the funny part. The punchline is that the average person couldn't even stand it, and maybe that's where the problem lies. You know.
