This starts well be descends into moralistic woo woo, all of which I agree with abstractly but know is not realistic because so many people are simply too stupid. The only ‘realistic’ hope I can see for our human mundane future is digital babies leading to consciously controlled digital evolution, which even if it is not wise or entirely humane may work in the end simply because whole populations of people 3X smarter than anyone who has ever lived would probably understand the value of morality and probably be better able than us to agree what it is and live by it.
Consciously controlled digital evolution would work sort of like IVF today but with vastly more choices. Within 100 years it is probable people will be able to genetically augment their own gametes enough to produce children that are mostly the same as them, or at least built on their genetic framework, but vastly smarter, healthier, and better looking. This technology does not need to be coercive. Who would refuse to remove genetic illnesses from their bloodlines while also doubling IQ and athletic ability? ABN
Ordinarily the opinions of one tech billionaire would, perhaps, not matter much to the life of an ordinary American. However, in this era of 2024 election and the Technocracy influence, maybe this interview discussion carries a different set of values.
Tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, an AI enhanced data processing system that streamlines the organization of technological surveillance methods, gives his views on a variety of current political aspects.
I find the interview as little interesting from a few perspectives. First, while generally supporting President Trump, Peter Thiel says he is choosing to stay out of the political influence game in the 2024 general election. Considering the scale of Thiels prior advocacy and specific action he undertook to put JD Vance into office and then into the VP nominee position for Trump – this decision to now ‘step back’ from 2024 seems a big disingenuous.
Second, and directly related to the first point, Thiel -through Palantir contracts- is now directly enmeshed in the Intelligence Community effort to capture and organize surveillance metadata of Americans. Perhaps, just perhaps, this new financial dependency plays a role in influencing his ‘step back’ decision.
Other points worth noting relate to how Thiel outlines his perspectives on geopolitical events. When you look at Thiel’s communication abilities and perspectives it really shows you how shallow, small and generally naïve these top-tier influence agents can be.
This is the inevitable escalation Western cabal has been working towards. Possible consequences are numerous — full-scale nuclear war; less drastically, prolonged war between Europe and Russia; thus keeping Russia occupied while Israel-USA do full-scale conventional war in Middle East; elections in USA cancelled or postponed; economic chaos throughout the world as chaos always benefits the strongest, which is how Western cabal (probably rightly for now) sees itself. It must also be considered that the West has a super-weapon which global chaos will both facilitate and conceal the use of. This is possibly that super-weapon, outlandish as that may seem. It could also be something else. ABN
A few agitated commenters have once again begun denouncing Prof. Jeffrey Sachs for allegedly being responsible for the Western looting of Russia during the 1990s.
Frankly, a decade or two ago I’d vaguely had the same opinion since I’d always seen him described in the newspapers as one of the key economic advisors to the Russian government of that period and had read some article somewhere making that claim. But I’d never explored this matter and over the last couple of years I’ve become convinced that my impression was entirely mistaken.
Therefore, I’d urge that people read Sachs’ article providing his version of the history, very similar to what he’d said in his 2005 book, which I’d read earlier this year. I’d also strongly suggest that people watch his detailed interview, which he apparently arranged after Taibbi and the other hosts had casually made that same mistaken accusation in a previous show.
Over the last couple of years I’ve watched a number of his interviews in which he discussed these matters, and all I can say is that he’s either being honest or he’s about the best liar in the history of the human species.
As far as I can tell, the only reason people believe Sachs was responsible was one 1998 article published in the Nation plus portions of Naomi Klein’s 2007 book. Mistaken ideas sometimes get into circulation and are then repeated back and forth so many times that everyone assumes they’re correct. But I’ve carefully read those two sources and I found Sachs’ account much more persuasive.
More importantly, President Putin and the top Russian leaders have denounced the 1990s policies as one of the greatest economic disasters of the 20th century and have been scathing in their denunciations of the American advisors who they blamed for the looting of their country and the total impoverishment of the Russian population. However, they’ve never included Sachs in that category, and instead they have always treated him with respect and friendship.
I think that Putin and his leadership team have a much better idea of what really happened during the 1990s than any of us do, and the identities of the heroes and the villains. So I trust Putin’s judgment on such things.
This issue has major importance because of Sachs’ current status as one of the foremost critics of American policies. Indeed, in my articles I’ve made that point that Sachs has probably now become the highest-ranking American ideological defector of the last one hundred years, or at least no other obvious names come to mind:
I have been extremely suspicious of Sachs and avoided posting any of his material on this site. I am willing to consider Ron’s argument but also can’t not notice, once again, it’s one Jew defending another. ‘The best way to control the opposition is to lead them’. If you click on the link to Ron’s comments and read some other comments, you will get a fuller picture of this issue. I, for one, remember the rape of Russia and that Sachs was a prominent exponent of economic ‘shock therapy’ not only in Russia but also South America, if memory serves. I may be wrong and am willing to change my view of Sachs but am not eager to do so. Below is a recent video of Sachs commenting on Ukraine. In that video, he blames everything on ‘USA’ when the reality appears to be different and rife with his tribe always at or near the top. So, I dunno. Best to be suspicious, yet at the same time ready to forgive anyone who honestly repents and changes their ways. Of course, Sachs is claiming he never was doing bad things in Russia and Ron’s use of Putin’s non-criticism of Sachs is illuminating, but there are surely many dark wrinkles inside of that. A non-confession, non-repentance, I-was-always-right-and-good argument might be true, but consider the sources. ABN
US officials and lawmakers shot back after Vladimir Putin said that Nato’s potential lifting of restrictions on Ukraine to launch long-range strikes over the border into Russian territory would mean Nato countries were “at war” with Russia.
The prime minister, Keir Starmer, met with the US president, Joe Biden, on Friday at the White House, where the two were expected to discuss – though not necessarily announce – a loosening of restrictions on Storm Shadow missiles that would allow Ukraine to strike targets as far as 155 miles inside Russia.
“This will mean that Nato countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia,” Putin told Russian reporters on Thursday. “And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.”
The missiles are jointly produced in the UK and France, and both countries appear to be seeking Biden’s go-ahead to loosen restrictions on the use of the long-range missiles. Western officials have indicated that the US is not planning to allow its own missiles to be used to strike targets deeper inside Russia.
Like all things political, there are many shells in this game. Escalation of the KOBK ultimate goal of world domination is one shell, while another is interference with the US 2024 elections. In real-world game theory, chaos benefits the strongest player and will be pursued by the player that believes they are the strongest. Hence, endless wars in the Middle east, escalating chaos and war in Europe. Escalating chaotic immigration in Western countries proves the top KOBK rulers of the West are not themselves Westerners. ABN
Russia and Europe are next. These are the results of an ongoing KOBK battle at the top of the world power structure. It has ever been escalating and will continue escalating. There are more fronts than kinetic war. As people are displaced in the Middle East, they are transported into Europe where whites are displaced. NATO is now planning bombing from Ukraine deep inside Russia. Putin says that means war with Europe. Chaos, escalation, it won’t stop. Ukraine is already destroyed. Over one-half of the population has already fled, never to return. WW3 is already happening. The savagery is wherever you look. ABN
This is the latest twist in the story of MH370 as told by Ashton Forbes. Impossible to unpeel this onion. The video describes a secret technology based on ‘structures outside of perceived reality’ that is ‘infinite in its power… the definition of magic’. The tech is owned by USA and no one else has it. It has unlimited potential. USA has had it for decades. If it were revealed to other nations, the world would be destroyed in a matter of hours due to human moral failures. For some reason, the person The AI reading the letter says deflectors when he it must mean ‘defectors’. Forbes claims the letter was not written by AI, only read by it. ABN
…if you look at the investment footprint -where the multinational corporations actually put all of that money they have been extracting from the Western consumers, you will see they have spent the past generation investing heavily in the “GREY Zone” within the map below. With that reality as the backdrop, would the multinationals lose or benefit from the “Build Back Better” agenda that pushed the YELLOW zone into a system of forced drops in the standards of living?
What you will note from the post-COVID “build back better” pushers, also not coincidentally the same interests who pushed the Russian sanction regime, is their investments in the grey zone act as offsets for the current collateral damage.
In essence the multinationals created a win/win. Their BBB policy within the yellow zone intentionally drives prices higher, while their investments were hedged creating low ‘total cost of goods’ (TCG) manufacturing systems outside the West.
..it is a self-fulfilling prophecy; one you might note is exactly the preferred outcome of the Barack Obama worldview. The West spreads the wealth to the Grey zone, then the 3rd world (non west) starts to replace the economic strength of the West because they are not restrained by the insufferable policies of the climate control/energy policy group.
The West ends up in a position where we cannot compete not only on the issue of ‘cheap labor’, the historic problem, but also on the issue of cheap reliable and abundant energy production.
On the financial side, the citizens within the Western Build Back Better zone suffer through inflation and massive losses in stand of living, while the alternative areas gain the benefit of better competitive manufacturing prices. The multinationals simply shift the area from which they make money.
The “exfiltration of wealth” we have previously discussed, ends up as investment into manufacturing systems we cannot compete with.
The attendees of the World Economic Forum benefit because the multinationals who make up the WEF assembly have prepositioned their assets and investments. This is being done by design. None of the downsides to this energy policy affect the WEF bank accounts, the only people who suffer are the citizens forced to pay higher prices and fewer jobs.
This dynamic is not going to stop unless the West immediately reverses course on energy production.
Yet another proof the West is ruled by people who hate the West. Every single policy in the West is designed to weaken and harm the West, no exceptions. ABN
If the Chinese Communist party truly believes it has a territorial claim to Taiwan, then it should also be trying to take back land from Russia, Taiwan’s president, Lai Ching-te, has said.
Lai made the remark in an interview to local media on Sunday, noting Beijing’s very different approach to two similar historical moments of territorial loss.
Beijing says Taiwan has been part of China since “ancient times” but was taken by Japan during the “century of humiliation”, the period between 1839 and 1949 during which China was repeatedly subject to defeat and subjugation. Complete restoration of China’s losses in that time is a driving narrative of the CCP, and today is largely focused on Taiwan.
However, Lai, who was elected president in January, noted that China also lost land to Russia during that period but was not making any effort to take it back. He said this showed Beijing’s plans to annex Taiwan – which it has not ruled out using force to achieve – were not driven by territorial integrity.
