Safe from what, exactly? Why would China or any other boogeyman is going to do a hot war invasion, when they successfully gutted our manufacturing and purchased much of our farmland simply by buying up political elites.
In reality, its predator class vs us "useless eaters." Saying your interests are aligned with technocrats like Thiel sounds a lot like its coming from a guy who is still getting booster shots, cuz "science."
Elon's days as DOGE's de facto leader may be numbered. A frenzied 24 hours, in which his candidate lost in Wisconsin and Tesla posted historically poor sales figures, were capped by Tesla stock surging amid reports that he would be moving away from DOGE. (The White House and J.D. Vance asserted that Elon isn't going anywhere.)
Federal employees told BI they were skeptical about Elon's departure, and that, despite everything, "a lot of damage has already been done." DOGE led to the layoffs of 200,000 federal employees, and layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relied on the same tactics Musk employed at Tesla. And DOGE (plus economic jitters) could be affecting everyone's work-life balance.
Consulting firms that relied on government contracts are also suffering. Deloitte has been the biggest loser.
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.
China has never shown any tendency to invade other countries. Why should they? They have everything they need and a very strong economy. Don't believe the hype.
China tried to reinvent itself with the killing of tens of millions of its people during the communist revolution. So so much for the Japanese Empire being evil. I don’t know what they think but I do know in this new world China can’t be isolationist as it once was. Through out its history it has been conquered by non Han Chinese people as the last dynasty was Manchurian. One can argue that it is being run from Beijing as it is in the far North versus Xian so still run by northerners. I do think they are on a different clock than most of the world as they have thousands of years of history. Most Chinese are clueless how much the West disdains them through xenophobia. I think the current leaders know and are prepared for the worse from the West.
Sadly, China is colonising Africa. They have most of the African leaders in their pockets, and they own many of the African economies through draconian loans that cripple their respective economies.
From what I have seen, the US and its allies have been more successful with that than Russia or China. The narrative about debt to China has also been heavily oversold.
China has very flimsy historical claims over Taiwan.
China's official attitude toward Taiwan, whether it was a backwater populated by indigenous tribes and a smattering of daring and enterprising Han Chinese, or a loosely colonial base for seafaring nations such as Spain and The Netherlands, was always ambivalent at best. Only when a Ming dynasty restorationist named Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) used Taiwan as a base for his failed attempts to rally opposition to the Manchu Qing dynasty and restore the Ming to Han Chinese rule did China take a mild interest in Taiwan, since forces based there posed a threat to their rule. Only a few years prior, the governor of Fujian had even proposed that the Dutch evacuate the Penghu Islands (AKA the Pescadores) and take the main island of Taiwan instead.
China loved Taiwan so dearly and clung to governing it so desperately that it ceded Taiwan and Penghu (along with several other outlying islands) to Japan in perpetuity in 1895. And had the corrupt US and bankster (same difference) puppet Chiang Kai-shek not reprised Koxinga and fled with his Nationalist forces to mount a fake restoration effort of his own after losing to Mao Zedong's communists, while Japan was defeated in WWII, the Allied powers and China alike would almost certainly have just remained content with Taiwan remaining under Japanese rule.
One more thing: the Cairo Declaration, which is often cited as the legal means for assigning Taiwan to Chinese (Nationalist) rule was as legitimate a legal document as the Balfour Declaration. Churchill himself said it was merely a declaration of common purpose, which I regard in the context of the time as a promise made to Chiang to try and keep him on the side of the Allies, as he was known to always put his own personal interests first.
Thank you for the interesting narrative. I am sure the Chinese will be highly amused to know that Western minds have taken such an interest in their internal affairs. It is not the first time that history has been distorted to suit an empire which is itching to cause a war and, no doubt it won’t be the last.
These freemasonry people were never who they were by their named titles they gave themselves a different title every time to their freemansons titles so that people got angry at the other titles they named to protect themselves from attacks. The freemasonry were from the beginning with 'bad' intentions towards people! Freemasonry they only loved themselves because they hated many others! They wanted to be the boss of the world to subdue that same world at their own feet! Freemasonry has never been a religion, when will you ever understand that!
Jesuits are not people of the good faith! They have never be and they have never be a 'real' believer! They are fake in them own title's who they called them self! They have always be people of garbage be that they always were be!
We’re also responsible for the telephone, the light bulb, airplane, microprocessor, personal computer, laser, transistor, assembly line, electric motor, recorded music, jazz, blues, hip hop, funk, baseball…the list goes on. America is worth saving and we have a long history of fighting the tyranny of evil men both abroad and at home.
It certainly needs to be saved, for the sake of its own people and the rest of the world, but how to do that and whether it's possible is an entirely different matter. Pessimism about the possibility of saving it is why I think some people (even many in the US) understandably default to hoping for its collapse or destruction.
As the Palantir example usefully demonstrates, the trajectory right now is unambiguously bad across all politicians from Trump Republicans to establishment Republicans and the full spectrum of Democrats.
Like modern day slavery in Qatar and China? Or honor killings, and child rape, and FGM in the Muslim world? What girls was the whole world supposed to “bring back”?
Still at it with these cringe War On Terror talking points as if we still were in 2001 at the height of American imperial propaganda... We're not fooled anymore.
Just want to point out that FGM also occurs in Christian communities around the world, particularly in Egypt, Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Niger. In some places, prevalence is higher among Christian women than Muslim, although the practice predates the introduction of either religion in these regions ( https://web.archive.org/web/20150405083031/http://www.unicef.org/media/files/FGCM_Lo_res.pdf )
Christianity do not this kind of harm to others... "Love each other as yourself" That is meaning if i do not like to be harm, this I should not do to the other! That means it in terms of love, respect for each other! Not the bad nonsense that you Franceska claim! You are an idiot, a parrot in terms of learning the nonsense of others who talk bad about others!
the current administration has hit the ground running with a policy of break as many laws as you like and keep going until somebody stops us... and guess what... nobody will be able to short of the military. that combined with the ability and willingness to set loose billionaire private corporate interests and lethal AI tech with no legal jurisdiction... USA is already there. and its been spreading horror all over the world since the 50s thinly disguised as "feeedom" and democracy.
Each successive administration seems hellbent on out performing the previous with regards to the wielding of naked, raw power. I thought that it couldn't be more blatant than the last, but this group is seriously motivated.
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.
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.
I don't think there is *any* chance of this happening. Best to focus one's analysis on the risk of war with China and Iran. Canada isn't just a member of NATO and historical ally, it is also a member of the 'Five Eyes' network.
Respectfully, it’s all well and good to consider all possibilities, but this would absolutely never jive with the US populace. No matter how lunatic the president would have to be to even toy around with this ‘idea’, NO president would ever risk this assured career suicide…If we were somehow ‘liberating’ a bordering country whose population WANTED to escape their legitimately evil government, then perhaps this idea could be bandied about, but we will never see that from Canada or Mexico…Their populations overwhelmingly like their independence and autonomy.
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).
Please ask any Tibetan person or Taiwanese person whether their countries “belong to China”. Any neo-imperialist aggression is ok as long as it’s not Western eh? How do you say “Hypocritical useful idiot” in mandarin?
The sign of your complete surrender of intelligence to ideology is found in the utter inability to rebut my point. Or advance any pertinent fact or argument of your own. You’re welcome.
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.
Any empire is seeking conflict. I’m unhappy with unraveling that happens now, but it’s really par for the course. All empires had bouts of aggressive remapping of the world. If not US, it would be any other empire.
Current political goal I think is to have a *manageable* and not evil empire.
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.
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.
Um, China own most of everything in Africa and LatAm… they're largely welcome because what they offer is wanted and without big trade offs ftb, but that's what Britain said in the 1700s…
I'm open to evidence. What country has China invaded or attempted to conquer in the last 50 years? (Of course I am referring to modern day China, it certainly had imperialist periods prior). In what country has it attempted to install a government or establish substantial economic control?
I don't think the evidence supports that: China is very amateur when it comes to soft power compared to the US and various European countries that have been playing that game much longer. But I'll probably write more on that as well.
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.
China certainly seems to have fairly sophisticated surveillance systems - though not more sophisticated than the US. But using social media information to determine targets who are then killed with drones? I haven't seen any evidence of that kind on China's part.
And unfortunately I don't think the powers that be care much about defending ordinary civilians, whatever the rhetoric.
Tracking us, what a laugh! Do you own a cell phone? Have a "smart"TV, or a smart anything. Or use a credit card?That is where the tracking is happening. Wake up.
Peter Theil is inside our government with Musk
Many of the DOGE scumbags came via Peter Theil

And DOGE (plus economic jitters) could be affecting everyone's work-life balance.
Consulting firms that relied on government contracts are also suffering. Deloitte has been the biggest loser.

Horrific indeed. Pure evil.
I see your point. Now imagine AI-driven nuclear weapons. Where do we go from here?
I’ve been writing posts with the hope that there America First approach means the US wins in the AI race against China.
Do you prefer China wins the AI race?

They consider Taiwan is part of China and historically, it certainly is.

Do you know what Taiwanese people think?
Why is the US involved in everything Evil in this world without exception?
Because it's hanging on to its global dominance by a thread
Because it was founded in part by Freemasons and Jesuits, both of which are Satanists.
These freemasonry people were never who they were by their named titles they gave themselves a different title every time to their freemansons titles so that people got angry at the other titles they named to protect themselves from attacks. The freemasonry were from the beginning with 'bad' intentions towards people! Freemasonry they only loved themselves because they hated many others! They wanted to be the boss of the world to subdue that same world at their own feet! Freemasonry has never been a religion, when will you ever understand that!
Jesuits are not people of the good faith! They have never be and they have never be a 'real' believer! They are fake in them own title's who they called them self! They have always be people of garbage be that they always were be!
the Jesuits were deeply involved the Transatlantic slave trade, some God they worship

I don't think there is *any* chance of this happening. Best to focus one's analysis on the risk of war with China and Iran. Canada isn't just a member of NATO and historical ally, it is also a member of the 'Five Eyes' network.
Respectfully, it’s all well and good to consider all possibilities, but this would absolutely never jive with the US populace. No matter how lunatic the president would have to be to even toy around with this ‘idea’, NO president would ever risk this assured career suicide…If we were somehow ‘liberating’ a bordering country whose population WANTED to escape their legitimately evil government, then perhaps this idea could be bandied about, but we will never see that from Canada or Mexico…Their populations overwhelmingly like their independence and autonomy.
USA will never invade one of its neighbours. Its generals know very well that it will rupture USA from within.
This is now +200 Palestinian journalists. Children, targeted by sniper drones. Doctors and medics, their families.
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. 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.
Tell that to Tibet, or to Taiwan, or any other country in Southeast Asia, you daft bastard.
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).
Tibet and Taiwan both belong to China, you daft idiot.
Please ask any Tibetan person or Taiwanese person whether their countries “belong to China”. Any neo-imperialist aggression is ok as long as it’s not Western eh? How do you say “Hypocritical useful idiot” in mandarin?
Your greatest sign of intelligence is found in your name calling. 🤨
The sign of your complete surrender of intelligence to ideology is found in the utter inability to rebut my point. Or advance any pertinent fact or argument of your own. You’re welcome.
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.
Any empire is seeking conflict. I’m unhappy with unraveling that happens now, but it’s really par for the course. All empires had bouts of aggressive remapping of the world. If not US, it would be any other empire.
Current political goal I think is to have a *manageable* and not evil empire.
Kindness will lose short term, unfortunately.
Yes totally! The world could be peacefully multi-polar if the US would accept its decline nicely. But that's not how empires tend to fall eh.
Yes, although I'll write more on the issue of the 'decline of the US empire' narrative soon - I think it's misplaced.
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.
Sure, and belt and road us just a Chinese rock band. WTH.
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.
Excellently said, sir. 👍
Um, China own most of everything in Africa and LatAm… they're largely welcome because what they offer is wanted and without big trade offs ftb, but that's what Britain said in the 1700s…
China not imperialist? You lost me there.
I'm open to evidence. What country has China invaded or attempted to conquer in the last 50 years? (Of course I am referring to modern day China, it certainly had imperialist periods prior). In what country has it attempted to install a government or establish substantial economic control?
It’s conquering if you will using soft power. Indirect colonization.
I don't think the evidence supports that: China is very amateur when it comes to soft power compared to the US and various European countries that have been playing that game much longer. But I'll probably write more on that as well.
You are one sick puppy. China WANTS world dominance! Look around and stop being so biased against this presidency and the USA.
PS; put a name to your wild opinions.
Man this is straight retarded
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.
China certainly seems to have fairly sophisticated surveillance systems - though not more sophisticated than the US. But using social media information to determine targets who are then killed with drones? I haven't seen any evidence of that kind on China's part.
And unfortunately I don't think the powers that be care much about defending ordinary civilians, whatever the rhetoric.
Where are your factual sources?
Just as I thought, no reply, no sources…just misinformation.
You are the target, not China, and you cannot compete on this battlefield.
I think both are true: US citizens and other civilians around the world are in some sense as much a target as the stated external enemies of the US.
This is pure evil. And horrific. Needs to be stopped.
When the pursuit of money takes an ugly turn. Disgusting people.
Good insight 😌 Can i translate part of this article into Spanish with links to you and a description of your newsletter?
Thank you. You are welcome to do that.
Oh. My. God.

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 😊😢
Tracking us, what a laugh! Do you own a cell phone? Have a "smart"TV, or a smart anything. Or use a credit card?That is where the tracking is happening. Wake up.
A well written article, thank you for sharing
