Very interesting. I've been wondering about what's in store re: Trump/Putin and USA/Russia. I think President JD Vance is the ultimate goal of the present Trump toadies and possibly Putin. If Trump becomes a hindrance, will he be a sudden victim of window cancer?

In these times of desolation, i console myself with the intuitive knowledge that Trump will not last four years. Putin and Netanyahu are also near the end of their lives. Trump has been the charismatic glue binding together the propaganda of right-wing radio , FOX "News", Facebook, Twitter with local and national power-hungry evangelical leaders and the billionaire tech broligarchy. Once he is gone, political fragmentation will occur. There will be more infighting even though some will cling to the fascist agenda. Numbers of MAGA supporters will decline. With a majority of Americans ready for change, we can focus on making America honest again, making America kind again, making America compassionate again.

We do not need to fall into the dystopian abyss that has been planned for us by the mentally ill who have temporarily gained power. We don't have to be victims of our past patterns. We CAN learn from history instead of repeating it. We can make different choices and take different actions this time. We can bury fascism for all time. This is a heroic task.

The framers gave the American people the 9th Amendment for just such a time as this.

Miller is Goebbels, I can't believe how malevolent and toxic the guy is.

I intuit Russia will go the cyberattack route in their revenge on the USA. It's far less dangerous for them than conventional military action. Until I read about the heat related cause of the massive power outages in Spain and Portugal, I thought that may have been Putin's practice run.

I read your article about Musk, Thiel and the comparison with Henry Ford. I had never read the word accelerationist - by the way my iPhone has no clue how to spell it - until I discovered it when I stumbled upon the Adrian Dittmann alias of Musk. At first, I didn’t believe it was Musk and didn’t pay attention.

Then, I wondered what the members were supposed to accelerate except human stupidity.

It was described by legacy media as a community accelerating AI. It was impossible as among all the speakers over a year or so, not a single one could define AI and knew CUDA except one Eliott, 20 years old who appeared in September 2024. And Gary Marcus of course who spoke once.

If we remove people like Ed and Brian Krassenstein, Lara Loomer, Ian Miles Cheong etc, only young men, usually barely 20 spoke in it.

It was described as the equivalent of the Hitler youth: a brainwashing community for young men.

A 26 year old, Jason, who is in San Francisco, refused to talk in it except for 10 minutes through the account of Elliot. I had Elliot several times on the phone: Adrian Dittmann managed to make him drop out of college in March, to have him more and more sleep deprived. He’s turning into a zombie. His father is trying to extract him from X with no success.

I can’t imagine the number of young men damaged by this alias and community even if Musk is replaced by an employee who speaks faster now and then.

Kara Wisher thinks that Musk is going to end like Howard Hughes. I think so too: he’s already started living in hotels, in a complete state of paranoia, I lost count of his alias on X and Instagram. He’s restarted the spaces under Adrian Dittmann parody, Timeless Martian and Adrian Dittmann a couple of days ago. Dunno if it’s Musk or not, I didn’t listen.

Stalin, the Romanov, Hitler: they’re all the same. I crossed DDR in a military train in 1987 and then went to East Berlin. The train was stopped every hour or so by the Soviet army. We had the order to close all the curtains of the French military train from the moment the train entered DDR. The Soviets were launching German shepherds to inspect the outside of the train. I didn’t take any pictures. The French military told me not to be seen, not to trigger the flash by mistake.

Then, in Berlin, I saw very little difference to the monuments built by Hitler to the ones built by the soviets. I have only 3 pictures of this trip. It cured me definitely to be attracted by any extremists of any kind.

Our schools do NOT teach our children to hate America but they do not whitewash some of the heinous actions that have been taken in the name of the United States. What he wants is for the students to be indoctrinated into believing that Fascism isn't all that evil.
