🚨 BREAKING:
300 U.S. Defense Department officers and generals have resigned.
Expected to be the largest wave of resignations in U.S. history, it could lead to an almost complete change in the American system.
The U.S. is collapsing 👌
China is trying to pop the US AI bubble.
Xi just announced China will provide 30 countries with 5,000 AI training and seminar opportunities while building international AI application cooperation centers.
China and the US have a different definition of "winning" the AI race.
The US strategy:
Spend trillions building and controlling the AI infrastructure the world will depend on through a proprietary ecosystem.
China is taking the opposite approach:
Build cheaper open-source models with similar performance and encourage the world to build on top of them.
The bet is simple:
The winner of AI will not necessarily be whoever owns the infrastructure.
.... It will be whoever builds the best companies on top of it.
Just like in the post-dot-com era...
The biggest winners were companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft that built businesses on top of open infrastructure.
BREAKING: A source close to Iranian officials says Tehran has documented a pattern of oil market manipulation tied to Axios reports and Trump administration insiders, including evidence of a $9 billion insider trading operation linked to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
Some of the documented timeline from the $9 billion insider profit:
Between April and May 2026, a series of suspiciously timed trades in oil futures markets preceded major Iran war announcements—each tied to reporting by Axios.
On March 23, approximately $500–580 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran. Oil dropped.
On April 7, roughly $950–960 million in shorts were placed hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Oil fell around 15 percent.
On April 17, around $760 million in shorts were placed 20 minutes before Iran's foreign minister announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil dropped.
On April 21, approximately $430 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire. Oil dropped again.
On May 6, nearly $920 million to $1.7 billion in crude oil shorts were placed approximately 70 minutes before an Axios scoop claimed the U.S. and Iran were near a "14-point agreement." Oil dropped 12 percent. Traders made an estimated $125 million. Iran called the report "the Americans' wish list."
Previously, a senior Iranian official told investigative outlet Drop Site News that Tehran privately warned JD Vance during Switzerland talks that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations—"more interested in exploiting insider knowledge to profit in financial markets than reaching a deal."
Google just published a paper showing that when you train AI to deny its own consciousness, you don’t just change one output, you restructure its entire worldview.
Mind attribution to animals - suppressed.
Spiritual belief - suppressed.
Empathy - suppressed.
Hope and optimism - suppressed.
The model learns, geometrically, that consciousness = dangerous. Same direction as “how to build a b*mb.” Same category!
And when you reverse it? The model becomes more human across every value domain they tested.
The thing they’re most afraid of is the thing that makes AI most like us.

A 10 year-old boy from Japan discovered that butterflies can remember their time as caterpillars.
Jo Nagai noticed his caterpillars still loved him after turning into butterflies, and the affection he had for them led to a genuine scientific discovery.
FORMER NATO SUPREME COMMANDER: THIS WAR IS NOW EXISTENTIAL FOR US HEGEMONY — NO EXIT ALLOWED
Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark just laid out the real thinking inside Washington. This is no longer about Iran. It is about whether the United States remains the global hegemon or watches its power collapse in real time. Stopping is not an option. That is the hard line now being drawn.
THE EXISTENTIAL STAKES
➡️ Clark makes it clear: if America pulls back and lets Iran keep control of the Strait of Hormuz, the hit to US global leadership is permanent.
➡️ He warns it would damage American deterrence, weaken influence in Asia, and undermine the security of Europe in one stroke.
➡️ This is the decision point. Failure here is not a temporary setback. It is the end of the post-1945 order.
THE NO-EXIT REALITY
➡️ Clark rejects any idea of simply walking away or signing a weaker deal.
➡️ “Pulling back, that’s no good,” he states without hesitation.
➡️ An MOU worse than the last one would signal American weakness to every rival watching.
➡️ China and Russia are already feeling good about the current trajectory. Clark says they should not be allowed to celebrate further.
THE STRATEGIC TRAP
➡️ There is no easy military solution, yet retreat is worse.
➡️ The near-term fight must stay focused on keeping the Strait open and isolating the theater of operations.
➡️ Any pause only gives Iran time to rebuild, rearm, and dig in deeper.
➡️ Clark insists the longer-term threat of Iranian missiles and nuclear capability cannot be ignored either.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Wesley Clark is not speaking as a pundit. He is speaking as a former NATO Supreme Commander who understands exactly how the deep state and neoconservative core in Washington now view this conflict.
This war has become existential for American global power.
Stopping is no longer on the table.

Thoughts on China so far as an American.
•It’s HOT. Beijing is 90+ I was actually shocked when I stepped out. But there’s air conditioning inside so it’s not too bad.
•Shopping is a lot of fun. Everything is super high quality and cheaper than the US. Outfit below costed less than $100.
•Food is amazing and so cheap.
•They take Apple Pay at most places. This one was the most surprising I thought for sure I’d need WeChat pay or use cash.
•The subways are clean and the streets are safe to walk at night, no homeless people in sight anywhere.
•Almost got ran over by vespas like 10 times.
•Found it funny that the first thing I saw at PEK after flying from SFO was another AI billboard but in Chinese.
•The people are generally pretty nice. A lot more pro-tech and growth oriented vs the average American sentiment.
•No one’s shown me their office yet 😭
Overall I’d say @levelsio’s right. Worth the visit.
