Thank you for exposing this insanity. It is tragic that AI has become a cult and monster used to target and kill people. AI as drone warfare is the ultimate “video game” for people who can no longer tell the difference between the precious life of nature and the artificially-created “stuff” they mistake for reality. The height of unethical investing. Absolutely soulless.
This evolving reality reinforces my feeling that our capitalism is ruled by hate. It might be true that every large state becomes evil eventually, maybe. But the history of the US and what is taking place in this moment, is terrible. The US desperately needs to make peace with itself and its history. Current and past. If that somehow means dumping our current sociopathic super-rich parasites, then I’m all for it.
We all need to try and do what we can. Unfortunately, from what I've been able to piece together and seen in my own networks, it's probably too late to stop it. What may still be possible is to rein it in.
Agreed. I write about such things because, even against what the evidence suggests, I still have hope that we can change the trajectory for the better.
Yes, it’s a data weapon company and we will have more. The assumption that “China will build one in response to ours” sentiment is naive. Yes, they will build and are building systems like that proactively no matter what we do, and Western self-imposed restrictions will be only to the detriment of the West.
I don’t defend the philosophy behind these weapons, but it is a new world and we should not bring a notepad to a data fight.
The key difference between the United States and China, in my view, is that the USA is clearly imperialist: there is no part of the world and no sphere of society where it does not seek to influence or control. China, on the other hand, is/was largely happy to only have such control within its own geographical sphere of influence. That makes for very different threats to those outside both China and the USA's immediate geographical spheres of influence. The USA is a threat, China is mostly not. I'll get around to writing about this in more detail.
Ideally what should happen is that we have strong multilateral institutions that prevent this kind of dangerous technological development across all countries, which would address your concern. But those institutions have been gutted.
Read again: I said "makes for very different threats to those *outside* both China and the USA's immediate geographical spheres of influence."
If you're in Taiwan - within what China considers its sphere of influence - it's definitely a different story. Similarly, if you're in Cuba you'll get the worst of US punitive actions aside from outright war. The big difference is that the US treats the entire world as its sphere of influence, China does not (yet).
Belt and Road is the transparent Chinese attempt to secure the inputs they need for their economic activity. There's no evidence of them going beyond that, by for example overthrowing governments that don't provide them with favourable supply agreements - as the US has done repeatedly since the 1950s. Remember how Musk said 'we coup whoever we like' when referring to getting lithium from Bolivia. (https://popularresistance.org/we-will-coup-whoever-we-want/) At worst, based on current evidence, Belt and Road falls under the banner of extractivist trade and economic policy.
Not disagreeing with imperialist turn, however that too started elsewhere. We should resist it. But China, Russia and soon many more countries are imperialist too now, having relapsed into this thinking again. Your response seems reactionary.
The argument is for or against Palantir. Not developing a weapon when others do is silly.
I think that if the US wasn't so determined to find enemies and manufacture wars it would be possible to avoid this kind of escalation. The Chinese have repeatedly indicated a desire to do that, whereas the US has done the opposite. One may be understandably cynical as to whether the Chinese are sincere, but the only way to test that is to try. The bipartisan attitude in the US has been, instead, to warmonger from the outset, violate the same principles of free trade the US has been foisting on 'developing countries' for decades, etc. That is a bad approach.
The US is an imperialist. It actively works to dominate other countries and will punish them thru sanctions, undermining their governments, or out right military destruction, if they resist that dominance. It does this on a global scale. That’s imperialism. China, Russia, Iran, are not imperialist. Commercial ventures are not imperialism. That’s commerce. The US Empire destroys countries that resist. Like the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Chile, in fact almost every country in South and Central America, Haiti, and more. It’s ongoing. This is the truth. You can look it up. China, Russia, Iran, etc. are NOT imperialist.
WP - this is kind of the thing about many people raised in the West; we cannot imagine anyone else doesn't invest in the dog-eat-dog, kill-them-before-they-kill-you notion of the world.
Russia hasn't shown itself to be particularly imperialistic except inasmuch as it wants to keep NATO (the US) off its lawn. China hasn't shown itself to be particularly imperialistic outside of wanting to keep NATO away from its waters.
Since the 'West' became the West, whether led by England, Portugal or Spain or now the US, we have always come in with guns first - assuming every other group of people on the planet was just like us, and, therefore, we needed to kill them.
China is already using this technology widely. In its own citizens first. Then on the rest of us. Despite the imperialism of the US, we are now the favorite target of everyone with means to attack us. Much as I fear this tech being used on us, better it’s used to defend us. Maybe Trump can redirect the intent.
Those guys in the holy land just pissed on that Planatir lavender hype job… men don’t fear robots who are controlled by cowards… let’s see how far they get in a full blown war… guaranteed it’s a PR disaster… Conquerers win hearts and minds… these homosexuals will have to blow up the entire world to control it!!!
A U.S. invasion of Canada would be an unprecedented geopolitical crisis with global consequences. Below is a condensed step-by-step breakdown of how such an event might unfold:
I am not an expert on this subject other than what I've read on various scenarios.
Step 1: The U.S. Invades Canada
The U.S. launches a large-scale military operation under a pretext such as national security or economic interests.
Major Canadian cities and military bases are targeted, with cyberattacks disrupting communications and infrastructure.
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) engage in defensive tactics but are vastly outnumbered.
Canada invokes NATO Article 5, calling for international military assistance.
The Prime Minister and key government officials relocate to secure sites.
Step 2: Global and NATO Response
Canada Actions
Canadian forces retreat strategically, using the country's vast geography for guerrilla warfare.
Civilian militias form, disrupting U.S. supply lines.
NATO Response
European NATO members strongly condemn the invasion and prepare military assistance.
NATO forces deploy naval blockades and launch cyberwarfare operations against the U.S.
Some NATO countries hesitate due to U.S. military and economic influence.
United Nations and the European Union
The UN is paralysed due to a U.S. veto in the Security Council.
The EU imposes sanctions, freezing U.S. assets and cutting trade ties.
Step 3: U.S. Internal Unrest and Civil War
Anti-war protests erupt in major U.S. cities, dividing the nation.
Some state governments, particularly those bordering Canada, refuse to support the war.
The U.S. military experiences defections, with some commanders refusing to fight against Canada.
Armed resistance and separatist movements in Texas and California gain traction, escalating into a Second American Civil War.
Step 4: Russia and China Take Advantage
Russia
Uses NATO distraction to expand into Ukraine, the Baltics, or the Arctic.
China
Invades Taiwan, assuming the U.S. is too preoccupied to intervene.
Strengthens global trade ties, positioning itself as the dominant economic power.
Step 5: The U.S. Struggles to Occupy Canada
U.S. forces capture major Canadian cities but face ongoing insurgency and logistical challenges.
Harsh winter conditions and vast geography make occupation difficult.
NATO special forces infiltrate occupied zones to train resistance fighters.
The U.S. economy weakens due to war expenses and global sanctions.
Step 6: Nuclear Brinkmanship and Economic Collapse
If NATO fully commits to defending Canada, the risk of nuclear war rises.
The U.S., engaged in multiple conflicts, struggles to maintain global dominance.
A worldwide recession occurs as trade routes are disrupted and markets collapse.
Step 7: Possible Outcomes
1. U.S. Victory, but at Enormous Cost
The U.S. occupies Canada but suffers economic collapse and internal rebellion.
NATO fractures, while Russia and China expand influence.
2. NATO Victory, U.S. Withdrawal
International pressure and U.S. civil war force a retreat.
A new U.S. government seeks peace, but its global influence is permanently weakened.
3. Global War and U.S. Collapse
The war spirals into a global conflict, leading to U.S. disintegration.
Russia and China emerge as the new superpowers, while Canada rebuilds under NATO protection.
Final Thoughts
An invasion of Canada would be self-destructive for the U.S., triggering NATO intervention, a domestic civil war, and an economic meltdown. The most likely outcome is U.S. collapse and the end of its global dominance, with Russia and China reshaping the world order.

Follow Nonvaxer420 on Rumble. He shares the scientific videos that shows how all this new technology works …
And they are way ahead .. they are tracking and tracing all of us down to the molecular level … NOW
He posts the science
It’s way worse than anyone can imagine 😊😢

Psychopathic is not a strong enough term for the diabolic evil on display here.
People are silly to complain about Elon Musk, Larry Ellison is a real problem.
Not when I vow to stop this future from happening!
We all need to try and do what we can. Unfortunately, from what I've been able to piece together and seen in my own networks, it's probably too late to stop it. What may still be possible is to rein it in.
That doesn’t mean we won’t try.
Agreed. I write about such things because, even against what the evidence suggests, I still have hope that we can change the trajectory for the better.
We all must have hope, my friend. And keep it alive.

I very much like that attitude.
Factually right but disagreed with conclusion.
Yes, it’s a data weapon company and we will have more. The assumption that “China will build one in response to ours” sentiment is naive.

Tell that to Tibet, or to Taiwan, or any other country in Southeast Asia, you daft bastard.

Sure, and belt and road us just a Chinese rock band. WTH.

You are the target, not China, and you cannot compete on this battlefield.
