Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from. If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems." The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't. ​There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content. There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place. It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room. ​That needs to change. And fast.

The more you unravel this story, the louder the alarm bells sound. Need I remind everyone that Jared Kushner is NOT A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE? He’s a non-government employee responsible for negotiating deals in the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia War, and he has this position because he’s the President’s son-in-law. He’s also the textbook definition of conflict of interest. Kushner’s private equity firm is backed by BILLIONS from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, at the same time that he’s the Saudi point man. He has contractual responsibilities to deliver for his donors in the Middle East, but he’s responsible for U.S. diplomacy there? The New Yorker also obtained a document from European intelligence suggesting that business deals benefiting Trump’s circle were on the table during negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. How can the Trump Administration insist that Kushner’s private businesses and diplomatic work do not conflict with each other when he is asking foreign governments for private equity money while negotiating with them at the same time? Kushner is not a career diplomat. He’s not on the payroll. What, in the world, is he doing negotiating some of the world’s front-most conflicts? newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Every fucking word of this. OMG share this with everyone—crying my eyes out…

El-Sayed is one of the most skilled candidates I have ever clipped. This is the second time he’s appeared on Fox and held his own. There’s always something new in every interview I’ve also seen a few of the Fox interviews with Mike Rogers. I’ll just say, you aren’t going to get the same level of debate during a Hannity Softball Session.

Researcher @timnitGebru says Silicon Valley discourse about the supposed "existential risks" of artificial intelligence is part of a ploy to avoid regulation of the industry. "OpenAI could have been held liable for unleashing malware around the world, hacking Hugging Face, hacking all sorts of government agencies, but instead of doing that and holding them accountable for unsafe security practices … they managed to redirect the conversation to some type of unprecedented rogue machines that don’t exist." democracynow.org/2026/10/1/t…

The guy Trump gave everyone's personal data to.

An alcoholic Fox News host with the brain power of curdled pudding actually wrote this.

Once you dig into the “AI industry” it becomes clearer & clearer what it really is. It is an extraction project. It has already extracted the ENTIRE DIGITIZABLE OUTPUT OF HUMANITY. Our ideas. Our art. Our science. Our math. Through a clever algorithm discovered in 2017, Jensen Huang and Peter Thiel’s protege Sam Altman figured out how to accelerate existing “generative AI” technology with GPUs. This was NOT an innovation in accuracy or “intelligence,” it was a way to process an old algorithm in parallel. OpenAI was staffed in large part by “Effective Altruists”—a cult started based on the doomer science fiction of Eliezer Yudkowsky on the website LessWrong. Peter Thiel was the initial funding for OpenAI, EA, and Yudkowsky. OpenAI successfully convinced the market, and themselves in many cases, that they had birthed some new form of life. They just needed to make it BIGGER and it was destined to become “superintelligent.” Based on Yudkowsky’s goofy ideas, AI was gradually anthropomorphized and deified—despite the fact that it was just software regurgitating the exhaust of human beings. The entire “alignment” movement is based on the presumption that chatbots deserve “moral standing.” It’s exhaustingly ignorant. Eventually OpenAI employee Dario Amodei, a dedicated EA adherent, became concerned that OpenAI was not RELIGIOUS ENOUGH about AI being sentient, so he broke off to form Anthropic and named his chatbot after a person. This false premise, that an algorithm was somehow producing “intelligence” was further amplified by training the output to sound as human, and addictive, as possible. The combination of a kind of religious fervor inside, a deceptive product, and a flood of influence operations on the outside fueled a wild flow of speculative investment in both OpenAI and Anthropic—and especially into NVIDIA. This eventually poisoned the entire technology sector which came to believe that the “race for AGI” was existential, so they committed TRILLIONS to achieving it. The data centers are all a function of a misunderstanding of what they are building. Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are NEVER going to be intelligent, much less conscious. All they do is take our stolen stuff and sell it back to us. They do not experience. They do not do anything—unless you send a string of text for them to process. Nevertheless, the entire financial industry, and now the federal government is pushing this dead-end project to engulf the nation in data centers and swallow the economy with “AI factories.” It’s downright insanity. All of that capital expenditure is already junk. It can physically never make money. It’s built for GPUs which are the wrong substrate for AI. Large language models are useful search engines for stuff we’ve already done. They are the compressed, digitized exhaust of humans with a clever language interface. That’s it. There is no moat. There is no real innovation. There is just an accelerationist delusion and no adults in sight. Chatbots are a software feature, a commodity, that has metastasized into a cult digging a $10 TRILLION DITCH. The reason this has gone so far is that rather than compete in a democratic capitalist system for the best technology product, this cabal of lunatics created an “internet alternate reality” that could “unilaterally change the world.” The current AI industry is the largest extraction project in history. It is strip mining humanity and selling it back to us as slop. “If you’re evil, you’re not bad, and maybe that means you’re kind of good.” —Peter Thiel

“unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people… tech is an incredible alternative to politics…” JD Vance & Trump-backing billionaire Peter Thiel making it clear tech oligarchs hate democracy👇🏽 When they tell you what they’re doing, believe them

The Currency Killer, Scott Bessent, said five words in Dallas that should have ended his career: "I am the house now." The same thing his old boss said before they crashed the pound together in 1992. Except this time, Bessent is not betting against someone else's currency, he is running the Treasury. And while he was saying that, a company whose co-founder wired $15 million to Jeffrey Epstein was quietly becoming the largest private buyer of US government debt on earth. Bigger than Germany and Saudi Arabia. None of the owners are American and the company is registered in the British Virgin Islands. While the man who helped write the law that governs it from inside the White House walked out the door and became its CEO. That same summer, Bessent's Treasury permanently killed the rule that required companies to tell you who owns them. Tether announced it passed a Big Four audit but buried the fact that its reserve buffer dropped from $8.2 billion to $4.1 billion in three months. And the regulations that will determine whether this company becomes the operating system for the American dollar opened for public comment with a deadline of October 19. I have been building this investigation since June. Parts I through III laid out the playbook, the people, and the money. Part IV is what it looks like when all of it starts moving at the same time, because that is what is happening right now, and there is a clock on it. We have until Oct 19 to bring awareness and turn the train around before it may be too late. Check out Part IV of my series, The Currency Killer: The Machine, on Substack now.
