@W_Asherah I said this in my keynote last year at the British Council - in Benin Empire, people had indoor plumbing, indoor water, and street lights in 1100AD. And stone houses. Across the continent, cities built using fractal mathematical designs.
People didn't believe me.

Na muende Gedi ruins and other such places. Rich people had indoor plumbing in 10AD. Mko hapa mnaambiwa mliletewa civilization na wazungu. Unless you're telling me other Africans civilized other Africans.

Newsom: "Capitalism as we know it? Not gonna work. As we know it -- it doesn't. Seven states still pay $7.25 minimum wage. We printed that first trillionaire ... I was with college Democrats yesterday. It was interesting. Two of them said that, of all things, they felt something about that ... I think our party needs to call that out. Concentration -- we need to call that out."

Some one had inserted the words "national security" as one of the reasons for limitating rights and fundamental freedom.

Wako & Govt Press claimed it was typo introduced during printing. But I had just downloaded the soft copy Wako gave to CoE from their website. And guess what?

@wachizay ...when Jesus was on the cross he said something to one of his co-convicts, either:
"I promise you, today we shall meet in paradise"
OR
"I promise you today, we shall meet in paradise"

Changing position of the comma changes meaning dramatically!

The rumor has always been the Federal Reserve and President Hoover intentionally caused the collapse of 1929.

They did this by raising rates and keeping the money supply tight despite obvious signs the trade war had destroyed growth.

They "feared inflation" even while the economy was in a death spiral.

As the "conspiracy theory" goes, they collapsed the system because the banks were losing control to the private credit market.

They inflated a massive bubble allowing inflation to get out of control after massive money printing, now they're keeping global Dollar supply tight.

They allowed the bubble to get out of control so they could collapse everything. We're seeing the exact same thing today. This blockade has destroyed trade.

Everything they're doing is forcing Dollars to flow back into the United States, creating an environment of scarcity everywhere else in the world.

It's the same playbook as 1929, just with a modern twist. 🤫

Now we completely understand exactly why Anthropic assembled a massive public relations teams and tech influencers to aggressively hype "Fable 5" to the public as an all-powerful, omniscient, and structurally threatening AI overlord.
They marketed it as possessing superhuman capabilities to effortlessly hack through secure US defense infrastructure and bypass the most sophisticated military-grade firewalls and advanced security protocols with staggering, terrifying accuracy.

The real, highly calculated reason for this theater was obviously to rip ordinary people off on a massive, unprecedented scale. Just a few weeks ago, even US government officials(who are obviously working hand-in-glove with these Silicon Valley corporate cartels) conveniently pushed a highly publicized law to restrict, regulate, and ban Fable 5 from the general public, dramatizing the model and officially designating it as a supreme national security threat. When the drama was unfolding we even thought Anthropic had literally created a silicon God on earth.
What we tragically did not realize was that this entire regulatory drama was a massive, perfectly orchestrated marketing gimmick cooked up in Washington to successfully hoodwink the rest of humanity into emptying their bank accounts, paying premium subscription fees, and sacrificing their life savings just to secure exclusive access to this supposedly all-powerful AI chatbot.

But this grand illusion collapsed within just a few short hours after Chinese engineers unveiled Kimi, DeepSeek-V3, and Doubao-Pro. All of a sudden, these supposedly supernatural, military-grade AI chatbots that were being paraded by Western media as having the unmatched computing capacity of a massive supercomputer were instantly democratized, open-sourced, and made available to the public to access cheaply, reliably, and seamlessly for everyday premium users.

If anything, we desperately need to learn our lesson as a people and permanently stop listening to the lying politicians and corporate TV pundits in America. It is now blindingly obvious that their urgent press releases, national security warnings, and protective regulations are absolutely not based on objective analysis or a genuine desire to protect the good of humanity. Instead, they are strictly, shamelessly based on who writes the biggest lobbying checks for them.

It is now also as clear as the blue sky that China is the absolute, ultimate geopolitical equalizer. Without China in the picture, American corporate billionaires, Wall Street tech monopolies, and venture capitalists would be completely free to continue aggressively ripping off the public with total impunity. This is because they own the mainstream media houses to aggressively market their basic chatbots as an omniscient, all-seeing eye, while they simultaneously buy off federal regulators and lobby lawmakers to look the other way and continue to write glowing legislative reports praising this corporate plunder, artificial scarcity, and financial extortion.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

This guy who works at the poorly named OpenAI (or more accurately ClosedAI) laments that China's open-source models could lead to:

"full AI communism, which is precisely what China proposes: rather than a market product, AI is a 'public good' which will ultimately be provided by the state as a kind of 'digital public infrastructure'".

This outcome would be objectively good for the vast, vast majority of humanity. But of course people who work at OpenAI (ClosedAI) claim it would be "a dystopian hellscape", because they would not have a monopoly on AI and could not become trillionaire techno-feudal lords by forcing everyone to pay them digital rents.

In reality, Silicon Valley's vision for the future is an actual dystopian hellscape. The US proposes neo-feudalism, whereas China proposes "full AI communism".

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

Forbes basically said the quiet part out loud.

For eighteen months, Washington called it “theft” when Chinese AI labs learned from American models.

Now an American lab founded by OpenAI’s former CTO releases a model that follows DeepSeek-style architecture and uses synthetic data from Chinese open-weight models like Kimi.

Suddenly it is not theft.
It is engineering.

Perfect.

Chinese open-weight models publish weights, lower costs, expand access, and let the world build on them.

American closed labs hide everything, charge premium prices, lobby for restrictions, and then accuse everyone else of stealing.

The irony is almost too beautiful.

The U.S. wanted AI to remain a closed imperial toll booth.

China turned it into infrastructure.

Now even OpenAI alumni are building on Chinese foundations.

That is not just competition.
It is gravity shifting.

Huge claim from former FSB director Nikolai Patrushev, who says that Osama bin Laden was a US “agent” and was later eliminated only when he began compromising American intelligence services.

He says Russia once helped the CIA locate Osama bin Laden and that the US then refused to strike him.

Patrushev adds that the presidents of Russia and the US [presumably Putin and George W Bush, given he headed the FSBfrom 1999-2008] had agreed an operation to “eliminate” bin Laden, with roles assigned to both services: “On one side, the CIA, on the other, the FSB.”

According to him, the Americans asked Russia to place a beacon at bin Laden’s location because “they were sure we couldn’t carry it out, [but] we carried it out,” Patrushev said.

“We completed the assignment,” Patrushev claims. “We installed the beacon they gave us and said, please, you can verify it.”

He says Moscow told the US bin Laden would remain at that location for three months.

“They didn't dare. They didn't strike.”

Patrushev says he later confronted CIA director George Tenet: “You asked us. We didn't ask you. And you did nothing.”

Then comes the real kicker from Patrushev: “We know that he was their agent, they used him for as long as it suited them. Then, when he became a liability, they eliminated him, as we all saw on screen.”
