Believer in God and country. Retired USAF, MAGA! Here for fun and intellectual discussion. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood. No DMs. IFBAP!

You know, I am the first to jump up and say that the government needs to stay out of things. But this is where we need Government to stop Billionaires from making massive changes that impact society based on their own whims. With great amounts of money come great responsibilities and they do NOT include becoming shadow governments. We have enough trouble with elected officials and government programs. We don't need rich 'citizens' deciding they can fix things.

Interesting – 22 million people in the sample. Seems like a pretty good sample size to me…

🚨 BOMBSHELL FROM JAPAN — THEY CAN’T HIDE THIS ANYMORE

Professor Robert Clancy just dropped the receipts:
A massive Japanese study tracking 20 MILLION people found that ALL excess deaths were in the vaccinated group.

The unvaccinated group? ZERO excess deaths. And here’s the killer detail: mortality surges exactly 3 months after every booster — with peak deaths hitting around 100 days post-vaccination.

The pattern is undeniable. In my opinion, they can no longer suppress the information on the COVID vaccine. The data is out. The cover-up is crumbling. The world needs to see this.

The Air Force has tried to get rid of the A-10 for years - They keep re-discovering what we knew all along: There is nothing else like the Warthog. Absolutely nothing. I worked on these things at RAF Bentwaters, UK in 1978. It's simply astounding.

[Office of the Secretary of the Air Force @SecAFOfficial]

In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.

Thank you to @POTUS for your unwavering support of our warfighters and quick, decisive leadership as we equip our force. More to come.

@ForgiatoBlow47 0. I happened upon the Living Beyond 120 podcast in May of 2020 (episode 76), and heard Covid was basically a bad cold. They suggested Vit D3, C, zinc and selenium. I've been on 5000iu+ of D3 since 2012. No colds or flu since then.

Anecdotal, I know, but... It works for me...

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

Perfect. Nicely done!

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

Dynamite. Perfect assessment and advice.

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now and unfortunately, I agree with this. Unless products cost nothing, who can pay? And eliminating jobs is ultimately really bad. Humanity doesn’t do well when there are no challenges. People with nothing to occupy them tend to fight and get crazy. We don’t need any more crazy.

Mo Gawdat spent years inside the machine at Google X.

Now he is saying out loud what the economists will not.

Gawdat: “The very base of capitalism, which is labor arbitrage, to hire you for a dollar and then sell what you make for two, is going to disappear.”

That is not a prediction. That is a coroner’s report on a system that has not stopped breathing yet.

Capitalism was never about innovation. It was about one equation. Buy human time cheap. Sell the output high. Pocket the spread.

Every empire. Every fortune. Every supply chain on Earth was built on that margin.

AI just closed it to zero.

A humanoid robot now costs $9,000. It does not sleep. It does not negotiate. It does not quit. It runs every hour of every day at a quality ceiling no biological worker will ever touch.

When production costs fall to nearly nothing, the entire pricing structure of the global economy falls with it.

But here is what every CEO celebrating margin expansion has not thought through for five minutes.

Gawdat: “Even if you can have all of the productivity gains in the world, by firing people consistently, nobody’s able to buy what you’re making.”

That single sentence should end every strategy meeting on the planet.

Capitalism is a closed loop. You pay workers. Workers become consumers. Consumers buy products. Revenue funds the next payroll.

Cut the worker and you do not just eliminate a cost. You eliminate the customer.

Every company racing to automate headcount out of existence is quietly engineering the death of its own demand.

They are building the most efficient production systems in human history to sell to a population that no longer has income.

50% unemployment is not a recession. It is the demand side of the economy going permanently dark.

You cannot push infinite supply into zero purchasing power. The math does not care about your earnings call.

Gawdat: “Wealth is going to have very little meaning for most of us in a few years’ time.”

This is where it turns on the people who think they are winning.

If production approaches zero cost, scarcity begins to dissolve. And scarcity is the only reason money holds value in the first place.

The billionaire class is stockpiling a currency that is quietly losing its reason to exist.

Gawdat: “So the entire capitalist model has to be rethought.”

He is right. And nobody in power is doing the rethinking.

Every board meeting about efficiency is a conversation about dismantling the very economic engine that made the board meeting possible.

The question was never whether AI could produce enough.

It was whether capitalism could survive its own success.

The machine does not just replace the worker. It erases the consumer.

And a system that can produce everything but sell nothing is not an economy.

It is a machine that perfected itself into extinction.

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

Very well said. It's a shame we don't hear this from our own media. Imagine if our media put as much effort into bringing us together as they do tearing us apart - the things the US could and would accomplish would be truly staggering.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

This is the best 5 minutes and 50 seconds I have spent in quite a long time. I encourage anyone and everyone to watch.

The amazing thing is that ALL OF IT has been in plain sight for a very long time, yet very few people have seen it or are seeing it.

It's the genius of Trump. He intentionally creates a bombastic, almost clownish facade that purposely obscures his exquisite grasp and attainment of strategic goals.

Most people fall into Trump's trap--but not this British commentator. He lays bare exactly what America's geopolitical strategy is, but the thing is--it's always been bare and always been obvious and always been in plain sight.

You just had to see past the deception plan.

@end3of6days9 As my flight instructor said, "It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here." Good call!

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

@CuriosityonX Hmmm - let's see: Different cameras, lenses, settings, position of the sun, composition of the windows being shot through, photographers, digital versus film (i.e. - sensors instead of film media). Virtually nothing is the same between the two pictures.

@elonmusk What a cunning stunt!

What’s the guy version of flowers?

Guns.

The answer is always guns.

Dear @UN,

Oldest slave trades:

1. Africans enslaving Africans: Thousands of years to today

2. Arab slave trade: 1000+ years to today

British Empire slave trade? 1555 - 1807

Should Europe claim reparations for the Barbary Slave Trade in 1M+ WHITE SLAVES?

North Africans enslaved at least 1 Million white Europeans in the Barbary Slave Trade, which lasted longer than the British Empire's trans-Atlantic slave trade.

If the Caribbean and Africa want reparations, why is Europe also not entitled to reparations?

Where does this end? Should Italy pay reparations for slavery in the Roman Empire?

Me on @GBNews with Jacob Rees-Mogg:

Listen to this guy 👇
He is so spot on it's scary

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

Never forget the real history. Forgetting leads to enslavement.

[Taya Bass @travelingflying]

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

@DylanRSkidmore @Mrgunsngear Yep, good point, but I wasn't trying to define the current system - I was suggesting a different one.

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

@j_fishback How about we fix the Iran problem once-and-for-all so we don't have to deal with it for another 47 years, then get rid of all of the theft in local, state and federal governments so we can reduce taxes so we don't have to DO those things! Those are not the job of the government!

[Doug Fitler @DougFitler]

@Maga4liberty I don't believe it makes ANY sense to add any additional pressures and issues to what is likely one of the hardest jobs on the planet. If a female SEAL team is NEEDED for the mission, then set it up as separate with their own training, mission and focus with ONLY women.
