Piet Mondriaan Trees by the Gein at Moonrise 1908 • Stop the Digital Control Grid – Catherine Austin Fitts (USAW) • David Sacks Warns DOGE Will
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle April 29 2025]“…This is what we support. Since at least 2014. Trump can say it’s Obama/Biden’s war, but he’s not exactly fully innocent……
• Ukraine Eyes Teens And Women As Cannon Fodder
Again, Larry Johnson bitch slaped Trump purple the other day.
It’s Trumps War now, top to bottom.
Russia holds the high ground and will never back down.
If Trump doesn’t cut weapons off to Ukraine, the Russians will grind Ukrainians to dust, including their women and their minors.
That blood will be directly on Trump.
Maybe the Donald needs to unburden himself and his numerous Sins…
The USSA has devolved into a truly degenerate state now
Never goin’ back
Culture leads politics like the ring in a bull’s nose
And there’s a lot of bull in the USSA

Elongated Musk was quoted?
-
“.. in just a “few years,” robots will surpass “good human surgeons” and will beat the best doctors within about five years..”
…but what will happen to the optometrists and their Surgical Scope of Practice initiative???
I recommended ISRG to investors over 20 years ago. Google that chart.
“..If we use the low estimate and do not adjust for inflation, the value of stolen technology would be at least $5.4 trillion.”
seems the majority of these econo/trade analysts just don’t understand contracts. an entity goes to a manufacturer and contracts for the production of an item. The entity has a cost and number of widgets to be produced as the basis of a contract. The manufacturer has to design the manufacturing process and determine a method to produce at the cost the contractee desires. The contractee is free to go to any manufacturer to contract for the production of the widgets. The contractee ultimately makes the decision on the choice of manufacturer.
A manufacturer that includes in the contract the ownership of the manufacturing process is just doing business in an intelligent fashion. The contractees that sign a contract with those terms are also just doing business. When the manufacturer produces the widget to specification and the contractee accepts the product and the terms, where is the theft?
a business model that has designed obsolescense as part of the primary structure bets that the culture and desirability of any object are fleeting. The concept that “The New” is the driving force of consumerism makes the need for copyrighting of lesser importance. This is where obfuscation kills capitalism. As long as the market makers can advertise any other similar product is a cheap knock off things go along smoothly. The consuming public that does not know the Brand Name and the cheap knock off are produced by the same manufacturer under other contracts has no means of value or price discovery. “A fool and his money are soon parted” especially so if the fool is an ignorant fool.
To think the Chinese should accept “dollar addiction” as a replacement for opium addiction is an indication of the ignorant malevolence of the driving forces of this theft narrative. There is not going to be another Century of Humiliation. When you offer a loan to build something and the loan is repaid there is no longer a claim on the asset.
no matter how sincerely the ignorant, arrogant superior desire such a state of affairs
the ignorant, arrogant superior are the one’s who made the tragic miscalclulations that has them rending the fabric of their cloaks and crying crocodile tearsas the Chinese military man said of the US Naval Battle Groups, “They are not threats, they are Targets”
the myth of superiority, it has a very strong appeal – apologies to Frey and Tempchin
AI medicine offers a view into what AI anything is going to encounter. Entrenched interests. Candle makers petitions. DDRs optometrists. Here in NY, optometrists petitioned the government to make reading glasses over 2.5 illegal without a prescription. If I need 4.0 on rare occasion for work or hobby, I am breaking the law if I did not bribe an optometrist. I have them shipped to a safe house in another state as I do for many things NY wont let you have. There should be an app for that.
An older story, but related. The US Post office early attempts to automate postal sorting. Workers in a given Post Office were friends and family. An automated sorter put your friends and family out of work. The automated sorters “broke down” a lot. I did not follow that story to its end, but I believe competition from FedEx, UPS and Amazon forced the automation to occur.
So AI medical is going to have to establish bridgeheads from where it can safely compete.SAMEOLE,SAMEOLE,SAMEOlE
We are still in an operational control grid.

• David Sacks Warns DOGE Will All Be For Nothing, Unless… (ZH)
“What we really need is for Congress to now embrace all of the corruption that Elon has found and eliminate it from the budget, because at the end of the day, in order to capture the savings here, we do need those appropriations eliminated from the budget,”
Sacks said on the All-In podcast.
Sacks warned that the real danger isn’t Musk backing down, but Congress slipping back into its entrenched pattern of reckless spending.
“These old bulls in Congress who control the appropriations process—are they going to basically backslide and just put the spending back in because it’s easier to engage in this logrolling, or do we take advantage of this?” he asked.

• Russians ‘Are Not Our Enemy’ – Trump Adviser David Sacks (RT)Vladimir Zelensky reiterated the point in a recent interview with conservative journalist Ben Shapiro, where he urged the US to act as an arms supplier rather than a diplomatic mediator and stating that Ukrainians “are fighting against your enemies, the Russians.”
“Russians are not our enemy.
We shouldn’t be helping to kill them,” countered David Sacks, a venture entrepreneur and White House advisor on crypto and artificial intelligence, who responded on social media on Sunday to a clip from the interview.

• Ukraine Won’t Win – J.D. Vance (RT)
“I think there’s this weird idea among the mainstream media that if this thing goes on for just another few years, the Russians will collapse, the Ukrainians will take their territory back, and everything will go back to the way that it was before the war.
That is not the reality that we live in,” the vice president said.Putin has argued that, for a comprehensive ceasefire to succeed, Ukraine must halt its mobilization campaign and the West must stop delivering weapons to Kiev.

does no one understand that chip lithography machines were not a necessity as long as the market supplied all of the chips required to participate in the Global Market. The global human condition now has been supplied with all of the same computer hardware required to enable the Medici to to loot the labor of the world. The one item of importance that the architects of empire neglected was the reality that task specific software drivers can be written to give processing units advanced capabilities.
The corner on the computer processing chips was short lived. The sohisticated advances in programming escaped the stranglehold assumed by the monopolists. Now that changes in the market have created a demand for chip lithograpy, software is the bridge that will keep competition alive while a new supply chain of computing chips evolves.

Do you think they don’t know that? So what may be their plan?
As a response to Kunstler
E pluribus unum…..out of many, one.
It is what the US has always been about. Multiculturalism did not fail everywhere. In the pocket of my high school it thrived. A couple of years after I graduated my hig( school was featured on a national news program because of its diverse student body. No one was bussed in to create it — it was just the cultural mix from the students who lived there. The student body was about 31% white. Yes, there were cultural cliques — how could there not be? — but there were also non-cultural and cross-cultural cliques. As students, it was fun to have friends from different cultural backgrounds — we talked about them and learned from each other. Some students were of mixed heritages. In a World Cultures class, when studying Asian countries a student brought in an (aged? Fermented?) Egg that was a traditional food. Strangest thing, it was.
We can be different and be composed of various groups, as long as we also have values and traditions which bind us together and also respect our differences. The left has attempted to bind the country together under its woke banner. This could never work, as wokism is diametrically opposed to many groups’ traditional values, as well as the founding values of the nation. Instead, the people of the US need to be bound together with values that complement their disparities and that remain true to the vision of the founding fathers. The Trump administration has some (glaring) flaws, but they are attempting to do this, which is commendable.
@Doc Robinson, from yesterday: The Google AI-search is hallucinating about f-35 bomb payloads, but it can carry 2X 2000# bunker-busters internally, and B61-12 nuclear bunker buster variants, which weigh 861# each, so it could presumably carry 2 internally. External hard points of F-35A can carry a lot of ordnance, 18,000#, but Iran is a long way from Israel, and external will increase radar profile.
Carney, a WEF stalwart, was Governor of the Bank of Canada for 2008 and Bank of England during Brexit. You should know what to expect from this steady-hand-in-crisis.
@Michael Reid, re: Federal Reserve palace: It’s too complicated for us to understand, but it is their money free and clear, and we owe it to them, because they had to create money to lend us at interest, and they are just pledging the interest we owe them on the franchise we gave them for free, so that they could summon money from the heavens, to lend to us, when we are short.
We can’t do that ourselves, because we don’t, as a nation, have those franchise rights.
See?The sophisticated advances in programming escaped the stranglehold assumed by the monopolists. Now that changes in the market have created a demand for chip lithography, software is the bridge that will keep competition alive.”
And Artificial Intelligence (available to anyone with ten bucks and a laptop) is now designing and writing all the software.
So where does that kettle of fish put the “competitive” marketplace?
Spain and Portugal energy blackout was predictable and predicted. From Vigilant Fox
“Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon” Sparks Largest Blackout on Record in Spain, Portugal
“… normalisation of the system could take up to a week.” Whatever this was shook the entire European grid.
…As countries replaced heavy, spinning plants with lightweight, inverter-based generation, the grid became faster, lighter, and far more sensitive to disruptions. That basic physical reality was spelled out in public warnings as far back as 2017.
…
Although political leaders promised that renewable energy would provide stable, affordable power, in practice, Spain grew more reliant on the remaining nuclear and natural gas plants to sustain inertia — even as the government pushes them to close.
…
Despite all these warnings, political and regulatory energy in Europe remained focused on accelerating renewable deployment, not upgrading the grid’s basic stability. In Spain, solar generation continued to climb rapidly through 2023 and early 2024.
Coal plants closed. Nuclear units retired.
On many spring days by 2025, Spain’s midday solar generation exceeded its total afternoon demand, leading to frequent negative electricity prices.
The system was being pushed to the limit.
And today, at 12:35 pm, it broke.
…
Spain’s blackout wasn’t just a technical failure. It was a political and strategic failure.
…
Unless Spain rapidly invests in synthetic inertia, maintains and expands its nuclear fleet, or adds some other new form of heavy rotating generation, the risk of future blackouts will only grow worse.

someone could get hurt.
they need to scrap these giant, floating pollution machines like the aforementioned starship truman.
humans is really dumb.
one starship truman is like the price of say, THORIUM REACTOR RESEARCH, but no, boom-boom, out go the lights with mr manyfist destiny worshipping at the altar of st. upid, the greedy.
nobody i know personally wants to fight some war.
nobody you* know personally wants to fight some war.
so whiskeytango are humans always warring?because they dumb.
¡all hail, yon giant pollution machine, the starship truman, crusher of goat herders and school buses!
* methinkers that some of y’all are like military or something, so i guess, you know some locos who wanna warrrrrrrrrrr.
As long as we act natural while everything we do is being logged and crunched, it will be used to analyze and predict human behavior with increasing accuracy.
Then will come the greatest of all magic tricks: it will play god…
And because of its amazing accuracy in predicting and manipulating populations, it will be believed.
