    “You’ll just tell it to fix itself.” – Jesen Huang
    why does this remind me of Francis Fukuyama?

    just for fun let us say that the humans engaged in frivolities in the Epstein network are the ones assembling the AI prompts. As a model of wealth accumulation is put into place the Ai is told “just fix anything that diminishes the model”.

    So I guess we nuked Iran already? They nuked us? So I hear, experts say, this is so certain they’ve already reported it. That goes along with the million hundred million men we’ve deployed in Caracas, Kiev, and Tehran? Each?

    …Meanwhile, back in “Reality”…. Welcome to the world of “Nothing Happened.”

    “Elon Musk Vows To Establish A Moon City Within 10 Years

    So today is an odd-numbered day and we DO Have these safe, pocket nuclear reactors? I mean last month or so you said we did, yes? Since then, no, more solar panels wiping out farmland and human food.

    ““Priority Of SpaceX becomes a self-sustaining lunar metropolis to safeguard humanity’s future..”

    From what??? Do you know something? Would you like to tell us? A city on the moon? What do we eat? What do we make there? Why? Why am I paying for it? If you need a city, isn’t Antarctica 500x easier?

    “key to breaking free from Earth’s vulnerabilities.”

    “Vulnerabilities” like that we have air and can grow things here? Like almost every square inch? And not a single square inch of the moon is like that?

    “The future is going to be RIDICULOUS.” It certainly is. Ridiculously retarded. Do not want.

    “Democratic Governors Threaten Boycott Of White House Gathering

    Oh no! Politicians will stop talking! Call the Marines to save us!

    “Trump Holds Off On Option To Seize Iranian Tankers, Fearing Sharp Oil Rise

    Oh no! Nothing happened again! This is bad because 1) Reason Yes 2) Reason No. Why should I even bother filling in the blanks at this point? Event Happened/Did Not Happen, therefore it’s bad.

    “Ambitious France-Germany Next-Gen Fighter Faces Crash Landing Amid EU Infighting

    Speaking of nothing happened: they are THINKING about something happening. Later. Maybe.

    “We uprooted it in five. And it’s never going back.” Chinese cars.

    It’s going back. The whole planet and all NYC would be bought by Japan in 1989, SONY, Die Hard, Made in America, etc. Yet cycles exist and they were at the TOP, not the bottom. China is very powerful, and good for them, but the U.S. is at the bottom, internally. China is at the top, internally.

    “The administration last year hired Kurt Olsen, who more than five years ago took part in the “Stop the Steal” campaign that promoted baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, to investigate the 2020 election.” -NBC

    So? They start with ad hominem, it’s all ad hominem, which is a “Fallacy”, that is “FALSE”. Wtf would I care what the NAME of the guy is? A LAWYER had previous clients in D.C. some unsavory? Nooooooooo!!!! Whut?????? How dare he “represent things” and “file paperwork.”

    So did he do any specific crimes or actions you’re squawking about? NO. Or you would have named them. So he’s done NOTHING. According to you, yourself, NBC.

    “• Steve Bannon Messages About Trump Included in the Epstein File Release (CTH)

    Oh. So interesting. Bannon from Navel Intel, the core hive of traitors if we can ever find one. Outsiders like Kalinsky are attacking ROGAN, and Mike Benz as Covering for Epstein. Da fuq? Mike Benz has done everything except get shot to EXPOSE Epstein! Rogan is a key reason it wouldn’t go away. This is all OppositeLand, like on “11”. They “Just say”. That’s it. They “Just say” Trump was actually the ringleader, no explanation why three DNC Presidents over 20 years couldn’t seem to do anything about it, with Biden right there for four years straight, taking Trump down by every other means. Everyone exposing Epstein 10 years was actually protecting Epstein in Crazyland.

    So now all these OTHER guys seem to be in the files. Huh. So weird.

    “Democrats find Donald Trump’s name in the Epstein files… and it’s the exact OPPOSITE of what they alleged.”

    Hasn’t stopped them ever. Months, years, decades of this. Makes no difference. Only prison will.

    “I said Monday on Twitter: “Seriously. Correct me if I’m wrong. For more than a decade we have known that billionaire Les Wexner from Victoria’s Secret was the originating money man behind Jeffrey Epstein.”

    I mean well, THAT’S wrong, it’s doubtless the other direction; Wexner was captured (perhaps willingly). But they are co-conspirators and everyone knew it for +10 years, true. That’s because Epstein = CIA/FBI in the first place. It’s impossible for him to walk around without their permission. Because……???? Because we pop up a name we already know to keep our eyes off actual new information that’s deadly and damning??? Almost certainly. And it’s Massie. Hmmmm

    Epstein is using limited-hangout rules now. Keeping eye on the sex stuff, which is relatively unimportant. I agree that’s what I’m most mad about and would prefer and accomplish hanging them for. However, it’s about the money trafficking, influence, end of democracy, no fair lotteries, no free markets, they’re not trafficking some girls – although they are of course – they are trafficking and raping our entire lives and cultures.

    Look again at Bill Barr, Maxwell, picking Jeffy out of thin air with no background, expertise, at a school, then rolls up Clinton, Israel, UK, Princes, CEOs, everyone. The girls are a sideshow, though I don’t want to say that as those acts are very vile. But to keep your eye on the sex, keeps it OFF everything else, and they’ll throw a few insiders to the wolves until you start eating and stop chasing, and to keep the entire same status quo intact.

    Let’s not get distracted and so full with crumbs these guys skate, shall we?

    Look at all the titillation: no meat, no essence. And they’re trying to get us off the titillation while using the exposure to cover there are no prosecutions. How many levels of half of a half of a half of a half of a crumb are we supposed to tolerate here?

    Let’s start with: “Planning on hanging a third of the Insiders named over the reflecting pool on national TV. We will go UP from there as evidence demands.”

    So watching Bondi (and/or Kash) = thrilled. Whack Bondi with everything you’ve got. Her answers are ridiculous. While Congress is tirelessly contemptible, these are all evasive non-answers. The answers are VERY EASY. Suppose the reason she can’t answer is, “They’ve already been in all the docs and purged all the ppl who paid, and also tampered with everything for years. Because the FBI, DoJ, are completely corrupt and complicit, essentially an extension of Epstein’s mob, and Mossad’s agents themselves.” Okay, just SAY THAT. We know. Just say it, we start arresting and hanging a lot, a lot, a lot of people, one by one, thanks. All done, fixed.

    So NOT answering and evading is not a thing to do here. IDGAF if the Heavens Fall. Make them fall then, that’s your job. That’s probably why she suddenly goes on this crazy diversion into the 50k Dow, which is entirely irrelevant, which also everyone knows is a bubble.

    She’s saying IF YOU DO THIS THE WHOLE U.S. AND ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE. All our prosperity with fail. It’s Austin Fitt’s “Big Red Button” where every Boomer 401k collapses (to make kids safe again).

    As the rest of us say: “Hahahahahaha! So???” I’m no Senator’s son. I don’t own any stocks in the first place. But I DO live in a place that’s now both toxic, and deadly. Why would I care? Hope every Congressman is arrested and we all eat ice cream at your trial.” Kash isn’t in the spotlight this minute, but he certainly seems the same.

    Get them. Oh they’re TRUMP’S guys? Could not care less. Congress’ job is to ask questions. Her job is to answer. They need to arrest each other, us normal citizens not (presently) having the authority to do so. Arrest 10 Senators and Congress can arrest 10 DoJ directors, and we’ll work our way through all of you one by one.

    We’ll slowly add non-corrupt employees from Wisconsin and Alabama, until there’s at last a quorum of NOT-Epstein there, and we can enforce the law again for the first time since 1960. Deal?

    (Yes, the markets will all fall. And I do understand we should have it fail in Munich first. Just like ending Empire, everyone will be furious when the evil stops and real prices return.)

    “Canada detonated a $12 billion bomb in the North American steel market. In a single coordinated strike, they ended horizontal remission on steel imports, imposed a 25% global tariff on steel derivatives covering $10 billion in goods, and slashed import quotas by up to 80% for foreign producers.
    The result? The most integrated steel market in the world just fractured into hostile trading zones. “

    Yay! I haven’t heard such good news since I don’t know when. Thank you, THANK YOU Canada! Did we have to pay them to do this, or did they do it on their own for free? Either way, massive win, we’ll re-start our steel plants shortly, with all the jobs, AND ancillary jobs. Canada will not and may not have anywhere to sell product. Are they planning on Underselling China and Japan? Bon chance mon frere.

    Reid, you’re the gift that keeps on giving. Every time you post something from these jokers, I say, “Can it REALLY be? Is there really more good news for the U.S. AGAIN?” And yet, somehow, every time, it is. And every time, more to my amusement and delight, it’s framed as if it isn’t! And whoever it is wants to keep doing it, and harder! No Br’ier Bear, not the Briar patch of no Empire full employment no taxes!!!

    A few more months of this and we’ll be both perfectly sovereign AND fully employed! Oh noe! Black Pepo will have jobs n’ stuff. Must! Stop! Empire will end! Cats and Dogs, living together. In perfect harmony!

    P.S. By “Vaporized” he means all the men, skill, and equipment is still right there. Nothing happened. $125B is probably an hour’s spending right now.

    A single bank failed? Uhhhh…we bailed out more banks than all of ‘08 Lehman just a second ago and no one even noticed. …Suspect we’ll be fine.

    “Canada Just Told Trump to Go to Hell — His Furious Response Broke the Internet”

    No one noticed or cared. Internet still up.

    “Trump’s Iran Nightmare” I cannot comprehend what any of you are talking about. What nightmare? That Trump will end the Empire he said he’s ending? That you also want ended? If that’s a nightmare to you, what side are you on? First they project a wagon load of motivations that Trump has said on TV he’s doing the opposite of. When he doesn’t get the things he claims he never wanted in the first place, Ritter or Pablo take a victory lap. That’s like saying when the sun rises each day it’s because I defeated the moon dragon in my closet last night. No. You’re just psychotic.

    Phoenix: Yes, thanks to the government running snap, administration is well over 50% of total costs, and they BOTH have infinity fraud AND deny and shut off everyone for no reason. Government Nirvana unlocked. So expect it to continue forever while costing 3% more compounded.

    Garland – Joti. You know I would pick on all these interviews, but Joti actually means and believes what she says, has a cogent case, and presents it for the good of the people. Now it’s not going to WORK, mind you, but I respect her motivation and point of view, and Garland for posting it regularly. So few post a truly different point of view.

    What are they “Protecting us from” with a multi-planet civilization? Even if we had a total nuclear exchange, even if a Chicxulub comet hit us, THERE WOULD STILL BE AIR HERE.

    And none on the moon or Mars. Here is STILL your best bet.

    1) They are the worst scientists the world has ever produced.
    2) They are liars.
    3) Both at once.

    Because none of this is about anything they’re saying, the motivation and timing is all completely different, concerning truths they’ve been keeping from us for 80 years. Like perhaps we’re already interacting with (several) aliens, and the only way to get creds and motion with them is to be a multi-planet tech society. Otherwise they’ll also stay hands off and let our secret oppressors keep hammering on us while these limp-wristed milsops claim “Prime Directive”, not get involved as the Shadow Wraith bomb us at will. Jerks. If so we should bomb the “Galactic Council” first and the Wraith/Borg Second on general principles.

    Point being, now THAT makes sense. What Elon says and admits, does not. Therefore he is lying. But we knew that.

    The United States is not just The Empire of Lies, it’s the Empire of Hypocrisy

    In the same way the Trump administration redacts the names of the perpe=traitors but leaves the victims names public……

    the Trumpard DOJ under Pay=for=Play Blondi Bondi Girl Lawyer Slut does enforce this:

    The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA)

    “Yes, it is illegal under federal law for U.S. employers to knowingly hire, recruit, or refer for a fee anyone who is not legally authorized to work in the United States.

    The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) established “employer sanctions,” which make these actions unlawful. The purpose of these provisions is to remove the primary incentive for illegal immigration: the availability of employment.”

    “Employer Responsibilities Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of every person they hire by properly completing and retaining a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification for each employee.

    Employers must review documents presented by the employee that “reasonably appear to be genuine” and relate to the individual.”

    Even here at the TAE Peanut Gallery no one including the host talks about ARRESTING employers who hire illegals.

    How strange.

    Is that part of the Empire of Hypocrisy’s Auxiliary Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Unit?

    Dr. D, Trump’s No. 1 Fanboy here at TAE, would be outraged if some of Trump’s wealthy donors in the Ag and Construction business got publicly Frog Marched in shackles out of their corporate offices and locked up in holding cells along side of their illegally hired illegal immigrants for hiring the dreaded “illegals”.

    “Oh the Humanity!”

    Grow up Ah…merica

    Your hypocrisy is showing to the world.

    ARRESTING employers who hire illegals

    There should be a one to one correspondence between stories about ICE detaining illegal immigrants and stories about employers being arrested for hiring them.

    Even here at TAE the silence is deafening on arresting employers of illegals.

    Even small employers have the internet tools at their disposal to determine if someone is illegal before hiring them.

    Their are tons of ‘private eye’ data brokers on the Web, so please stuff a sock in your lame excuses for not using them.

    I wonder how many gallons of sulfuric acid would it take to dissolve Congress???

    The Trans-continental Railroad

    A little history for the Empire of Lies

    Irish and Chinese immigrants formed the backbone of the transcontinental railroad,

    but they largely worked on separate lines:

    Chinese laborers made up ~90% of the Central Pacific (West), while Irish immigrants and Civil War vets dominated the Union Pacific (East). Together, they completed the 1869 project.
    Key Facts on the Workforce Breakdown:

    Central Pacific (West – California/Sierra Nevada): Primarily built by 10,000–15,000 Chinese workers, comprising roughly 90% of their crew by 1867

    Union Pacific (East – Plains/Rockies): Mostly Irish immigrants, Civil War veterans, and African Americans.

    Significance: Chinese labor was vital for the dangerous tunneling through the Sierras. (Even the Irish weren’t stupid enough to do that job.)

    A Real Group Effort:

    Both groups faced brutal conditions, low pay, and dangerous work, with the two lines meeting in Utah in 1869.

    When the agents wear masks, they are easily identified as agents, though not as individuals. This precludes protestors from wearing masks, lest they be mistaken for agents, and the feds easily identify them individually with facial recognition using the hundreds of selfies they have taken of themselves and their pals.

    The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships

    Some context:

    “The phrase “the face that launched a thousand ships” comes from Christopher Marlowe’s 16th-century play “Doctor Faustus,” where Faustus uses it to describe Helen of Troy.

    It refers to the myth that her extreme beauty and abduction sparked the Trojan War, prompting a massive Greek fleet to sail to Troy. “

    I wonder if the Greeks are down with this cultural appropriation.

    UBS Identifies When Humanoid Robots Will Invade Factory Floors

    The deployment of robots in manufacturing will rival the deployment of drones in modern warfare.

    Slow at first, then enveloping the whole space and totally dominating it.

    You can watch thousands of videos of drones blowing up individual soldiers in Ukraine.

    Just wait until the killer drones fly in great swarms like locust and vaporize all humans in their path.

    The same sort of wipeout will occur in human employment with factories dominated by drones with a sprinling of humans to watch them.

    The unemployment numbers released today will look like a dream in shortly coming years.

    Software engineering used to be the pinnacle of intelligence. Now it’s the first job AI is replacing.

    I deeply appreciate how easy it is to mistake highly accurate high speed numerical calculations with low error rates for being some type of “intelligence”. But it is not, and to do so is a very very very very very serious mistake to make.

    In other words, AI is artificial alright, but it damned sure isn’t intelligent. An intelligent carpenter uses his hammer as a tool for driving nails. A considerably less intelligent carpenter invents a hammer that doesn’t just drive nails, it decides where to put them. Great way to drive that last nail in the lid of his own coffin.

    On the topic of the true meaning of intelligence I find it ironic beyond words that the world is being run by so-called “Intelligence” agencies”, and “services”, and their Masters. Remember that Spy Masters are nothing but secretive spies themselves. They Masters are just the ones who got to the top of the heap by being the best ones at exercising that strategic and particular job skill. Another way to understand that is that they are the best at the job because they have to be, otherwise they get killed by the guy who wants their job.

    The essence of covert intelligence (in the spy-world sense of the word “intelligence”) is in pretended beingness. It consists of pretending to be someone or something that one is not.

    It is amazingly effective in getting just about anything that you want, without having to actually do anything for it except lie and pretend. Thieves who know what they want (and they ALL want to have something for themselves, alone, without actually doing what it takes to make that thing will invariable pretend to be the guy who actually can make it and is generous in giving it away for free, so everybody just loves him.

    A government, for example, (which is known by all to be a den of liars and pack of thieves) can actually get people to actually still believe what they tell people, despite centuries of lies built of broken promises and false hopes. How do they manage to do that and get away with it like forever?

    They do it by pretending to be, and passing themselves off as, the truly good ones who actually do love all people and will sacrifice themselves to keep those loved ones adequately safe and healthy.

    Find the demon who is pretending to be an angel and you’ve found your culprit.

    Yes, who INDEED ordered the transfer of Ghislaine from High Security prison to Club Fed? Trump, of course. No one else could have had the authority to have made it happen and get away with it.

    Okay, the lid is FINALLY starting to come off, but we ain’t home yet because up ’til now the only necks on the Epstein block under the falling publicly legal opinion ax are a bunch of high profile Western oligarchs and bevy of big name politicians.

    So, Trump has been the Imperial child trafficking meat market sex criminal I/C, and now him and a few his Middle Management co-conspirators are being outed. That’s good. That’s real good, but it doesn’t really tell us much about what’s going to happen when the world’s population finds out that what Trump and Epstein were doing is pretty much the way the ENTIRE WORLD is run.

    That’s when things get Biblicly spicey.
