To understand the outcome of the next four years (and beyond), it is important to begin with the same information. One key not discussed anywhere else is outlined below.
Consider this a baseline for future context in the world of the USA and President Trump politics.
♦ Summarized it looks like this: In late summer 2023 not only myself, but several insightful analysts in the world of high finance, had come to the conclusion that Musk’s financial effort with the purchase of Twitter was unsustainable, unless something changed.
Something did change.
In early August of 2023, understanding the dynamic at stake, and also having a strategy for his own interests, Oracle’s Larry Ellison said, ‘he would not let Elon Musk fail with Twitter’.
Billionaire Larry Ellison, a Tesla Board member, already had invested money in place, but that wasn’t the motive on this move. In hindsight, Ellison was brilliant and intensely strategic. It is important to understand what exactly ‘board members’ are recruited for, and the stability/security reasons for why they are recruited.
Ellison pumped money into the problem, relieving Musk of the cash flow problem created by his inability to divest shares (Musk was max-limited by Board). Ellison also helped make the $1.5 billion loan made by SpaceX, (unknown at the time) go away.
Ellison essentially positioned Twitter for the same dynamic reason that Bezos bought and used WaPo. This is the world of high finance, and these moves are all about influence, leverage and ultimately positioning. Ellison wanted a vessel for influence, a friendship and common ideological alignment therein just made sense.
With financial breathing room and a nod in the direction he needed to follow, after a brief stint with Ron DeSantis, Musk using his platform, leaned forward into Trump. The rest of that relationship origin is history.
Oracle, specifically Larry Ellison, is now positioned as the biggest benefactor of a second Trump administration, with a very specific group of technocrats in close alignment. AWS Jeff Bezos has been trying to make up ground ever since.
♦ Now that’s the elevator speech part; that’s the encapsulated or summarized version. But it’s in the details where things get interesting.
It should be emphasized up front that no one is a bad guy in the framework of what took place; however, neither is this altruism.
These are essentially self-interests in a common alignment. As long as the alignment is for good purposes, then the network of billionaire allies is in a very cool place.
[This is an extremely good analysis — concise, clear as a bell, and deeply insightful. It provides a seasoned and wise overview of where we we are headed, and how it might turn out for the good or the bad. This essays illustrates the fundamental way people should think about politics, which is a rational, if cut-throat, human endeavor. Much of politics is out of our control, but we the plebs do have input into the system when we more or less agree and make our voices heard, which we have been doing for the past 8-10 months. US politics is as good as it gets right now. We the plebs must only keep the pressure on and strive to find and embrace our general agreement on major subjects, such as: freedom of speech, no mass immigration, no government spying, no totalitarianism, 2A, good economic policies, no war, solidarity with Europe and Russia, etc. ABN]
Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael–Jewish National Fund chairman Daniel Atar has warned of “catastrophe” for the Jewish people due to intermarriage and rising antisemitism in the Jewish Diaspora.
Speaking to journalists at a Nefesh B’Nefesh “mega-event” for potential immigrants in New Jersey on Sunday, Atar said that high rates of intermarriage in North America represented a severe threat to the Jewish people and that combined with rising antisemitism, particularly in the US, he was increasingly worried.“
Antisemitism and intermarriage are a catastrophe for the Jewish people,” said Atar.
I have watched about one-half of this and find it enjoyable; opens the mind to the many factors that went into the Bible and Abrahamic belief systems. ABN
Thirty years ago when I was working in Japan, a bunch of Japanese friends brought up David Duke. I hit the roof about what a racist POS he was and how people like that should be ostracized and paid no attention to. My friends were all visibly taken aback. ‘But he’s on your side. He’s trying to help your people.’ I went on yada yada with the normal programming, but I also never forgot their very sincere reactions. Years later I read a little bit of Duke and watched a few of his videos. I just checked and see that I posted two items on Duke on ABN. I even told the story above eight years ago using many of the same words. We have so much more information today than ever before, the deep mind-control slurs on people like Duke don’t work anymore. Once you see the slurs for what they are, you peel away another level of mind-control programming like the one I displayed in Japan 30 years ago. ABN
Researchers have developed a new quantum theory that for the first time defines the precise shape of a photon, showing its interaction with atoms and its environment.
This breakthrough allows for the visualization of photons and could revolutionize nanophotonic technologies, enhancing secure communication, pathogen detection, and molecular control in chemical reactions.
Scientists at the University of Birmingham, whose work is featured in Physical Review Letters, have delved into the intricate behavior of photons — individual particles of light. Their research reveals how photons are emitted by atoms or molecules and how their shape is influenced by the surrounding environment.
Quantum Challenges and Breakthroughs
This complex interaction gives rise to infinite possibilities for light to exist and move through its surroundings. However, this vast potential makes modeling these interactions an incredibly difficult challenge—one that quantum physicists have been tackling for decades.
By grouping these possibilities into distinct sets, the Birmingham team was able to produce a model that describes not only the interactions between the photon and the emitter, but also how the energy from that interaction travels into the distant ‘far field’.
