Former liberals discuss their “conversion” to conservativism. Truly interesting to hear them tell the tale. I think the term awakening is most fitting for this story.

In Haiti, they told the Haitian people the Clintons came to save Haiti.

After the earthquake in 2010, the world watched Port au Prince crumble, and then the saviors arrived. Bill Clinton became the UN Special Envoy to Haiti. Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, controlling America's aid. And the Clinton Foundation was right there, raising money in Haiti's name.

Husband approving the projects. Wife controlling the money. Foundation collecting the donations. That was a family business.

The world pledged 13.5 billion dollars. America pledged 4 billion. It was supposed to rebuild a nation. Instead, it rebuilt bank accounts in Washington.

Less than 40 percent of that money was ever spent inside Haiti. Only 2 percent of US aid ever reached Haitian organizations. The rest went to American contractors, foreign NGOs, and the UN: a circle of friends getting rich off someone else's tragedy.

Caracol Industrial Park, their great flagship, their promise of a New Haiti. Three hundred million dollars of taxpayer money, built on prime farmland. Farmers were kicked off their land to make room for it. They promised 65,000 jobs. What Haiti got was 10,000 low-wage sewing jobs for a South Korean company. Bill and Hillary cut the ribbon and smiled for the cameras. Haitians called it a sweatshop.

They promised hundreds of thousands of homes. They spent half a billion dollars on housing, and they built 6,000 houses. Years later, millions were still sleeping in tents, with no water, no electricity, and no roads, while the Foundation kept fundraising.

A company called VCS Mining, with a Clinton Foundation donor sitting on its board, suddenly got one of the rarest things in Haiti: a gold mining permit. In a country where those permits are almost impossible to get. Donate to the Foundation, get a deal in Haiti. That was the deal.

Haitians don't call this mismanagement. They call it theft.

Billions came in, cholera brought in by UN troops killed 10,000 people, and Port au Prince still has no reliable water, power, or roads. The Clintons left with their reputation intact. Haiti was left poorer.

This is how the liberal elite works. They find a poor Black country, use it as a charity poster, fly in, take photos with crying children, raise billions, hand the contracts to their friends, and then blame corruption in Haiti when nothing gets built.

The real corruption was never in Haiti. It was in Washington, and it was in the Clinton Foundation.

If a Republican had done this, it would be called a crime. Because the Clintons did it, they called it philanthropy.

Haiti didn't need saviors. Haiti needed to be left alone to rebuild with its own money.

The Clintons didn't save Haiti. They looted Haiti.

The chaos in El Salvador before Bukele was never an accident, and the chaos in Haiti today is not an accident either.

The media told you that the gangs were just poor boys who went bad on their own, but that story falls apart the moment you ask one simple question.

Where does a poor sixteen year old boy living in a slum with no job and no money get an AK-47 and an AR-15 and a Glock and thousands of rounds of ammunition, and where does he get a brand new Toyota Hilux and motorcycles and speedboats and drones and encrypted phones and bulletproof vests and night vision goggles, and who pays his monthly salary and pays for his safe house and pays his lawyer when he is arrested and pays the police and the judge and the prison guard to look the other way, and who pays his family when he dies?

A poor boy cannot afford even one bullet, so someone else is paying for all of it.

That someone is the multimillionaires and the billionaires and the wealthy entities who profit from chaos, because chaos is a business and a broken country is the most profitable business in the world.

When a country is in chaos its land becomes cheap so they can buy it, its gold and its drugs and its resources can be stolen without anyone asking questions, its government becomes weak so they can control it, and its people become so scared that they obey anyone who promises them a little safety.

In El Salvador the gangs were not fighting the system, the gangs were the system, paid to keep the poor terrorized so the poor would never rise up and demand a better country.

In Haiti it is the same story, the gangs are not independent, they are funded and armed and protected by rich families and foreign businessmen and foreign NGOs who want Haiti to stay weak so they can keep stealing its ports and its gold and its labour.

And when a man like Bukele comes and says I will lock up all the gangs and end this in two years, who attacks him? It is the same people.

The same billionaires who fund the gangs fund the media that calls Bukele a dictator, the same wealthy entities who arm the gangs fund the NGOs that cry human rights for murderers, the same people who profit from chaos fund the political voices that hate real help in Haiti and sabotage anyone who is actually capable of doing it.

Look at the pattern and it becomes clear, when a gang kills a hundred innocent people there is silence, but when a leader kills a hundred gang members there is outrage.

When a gang rapes children there is no campaign, but when Bukele locks up rapists there is a global campaign against him.

That is because the media is not independent, it is owned by billionaires, the NGOs are not independent, they are funded by billionaires, and the politicians are not independent, they are bought by billionaires.

They do not want Haiti saved and they did not want El Salvador saved, they want them broken, because a broken country is cheap to buy and easy to control.

Bukele exposed them, he proved that gangs can be destroyed in months if you have the will, and that terrified them, because if El Salvador can be fixed then Haiti can be fixed, and if Haiti can be fixed then Africa can be fixed, and if Africa can be fixed then the billionaires lose their business.

That is why they demonize Bukele, that is why they sabotage Haiti, that is why they hate any man who actually helps the poor.

名嘴史蒂芬·A·史密斯在专访里满脸狐疑，准备看川普怎么在少数族裔议题上自夸。

川普没跟他绕弯子，直接从兜里掏出一张手写清单。
“我自己写了一份单子。”
史密斯当场叫板：“你念出来。”
川普回得极干脆：“只要你时间够，我全念完。”

单子一抖开，全是硬账。
第一句提刑事司法改革，史密斯只能点头：“这你确实做了。”
紧接着就是实打实的拨款。
传统黑人大学（HBCU）濒临破产时，川普任内直接给了一笔4.38亿美元的创纪录救济款。
到了2026年9月，他又亲自批准追加1.74亿。
两年下来，超出常规拨款额度的资金超过6.12亿美元。
川普原话挑明：这笔钱，民主党从头阻挠到尾。

除了拨钱，2025年4月他签署行政令，把被移走的黑人大学项目迁回白宫，重新设立大学校长组成的顾问委员会。
再到“川普账户”计划，给黑人新生儿直接注入1000美元政府启动资金进入股市，拉平资产代际鸿沟。
川普念完补了一刀：这项法案，民主党全员投了反对票。

整张清单念了足足几分钟。
对面的史密斯从原本的将信将疑，听到最后表情凝固，一句话都接不上。
主流叙事塑造了几十年的道德高地，被一张写满数字的手写单当面击碎。
面对这些真金白银的底册，所有包装出来的政治标签都落了空。

젠슨황 불륜을 의도적으로 터뜨리는 느낌이 있어서
민주당이 이렇게까지 적극적일 이유가 있을까 하는 생각이 들었는데, 월스트리트와의 합작이라는 관점이 있어서 전달드려 봅니다.

젠슨 황의 불륜은 단지 방아쇠일 뿐이다. 우리가 목격하고 있는 것은 월스트리트와 워싱턴이 조율한 엔비디아의 조 단위 컴퓨팅 제국에 대한 사전 계획된 권력 장악이다.

일부 예리한 중국계 미국인 논평가들은 이를 미국의 새로운 붉은 공포(Red Scare)로 부르며, 엘리트 아시아 기업가들을 겨냥한 것이라고 말한다.

빌 게이츠, 일론 머스크, 그리고 다른 백인 테크 억만장자들은 개인적 행실로 인해 반복적인 스캔들을 겪었다. 그러나 그 누구도 국가 안보 조사나 이사회 인수합병으로 끌려간 적이 없다. 오직 젠슨 황만이 개인적 관계 실수 후 독립 이사회 조사와 정보 기관의 적대적 내러티브에 직면해 있다.

이중 잣대는 더 이상 명확할 수 없다: 백인 엘리트들에게는 개인적 결함이 사적인 문제로 남지만, 전략적 테크 자산을 장악한 중국 출신 리더에게는 아주 작은 흠집조차 국가 안보 위험으로 프레임된다.

엔비디아는 글로벌 AI 컴퓨팅의 중추로, 대략 4조 달러의 가치를 지녔다. 마크 저커버그가 듀얼 클래스 슈퍼 투표 주식으로 통제를 고수하는 메타와 달리, 또는 펜타곤과 정보 기관에 깊이 통합된 마이크로소프트와 아마존과 달리, 엔비디아에는 그런 보호 구조가 없다.

2026년 공시 자료에 따르면 젠슨 황은 지분의 3.58%만 보유하고 있으며, 모든 이사와 경영진을 합쳐도 겨우 3.94%에 불과하다. 뱅가드와 블랙록은 각각 9.32%와 7.43%를 소유하며 결정적 투표권을 쥐고 있다. 기관적 보호막이나 깊은 정치적 후원 없이, 이 핵심 테크 거인은 강대국 경쟁의 체스판 위에 노출되어 있다.

이 인수합병의 토대는 몇 달 전부터 마련되었다. 황의 오랜 이사회 동맹인 마크 페리와 마이클 매카프리는 주요 위원회에서 물러났다. 민주당 기득권, 월스트리트, 미국 정보 기관과 연결된 내부자들이 조용히 진입했다:
✅ 수잔 노라 존슨, 전 골드만삭스 부회장 겸 브루킹스 연구소 공동 의장으로, 2026년 7월 엔비디아 감사 위원회에 합류해 내부 조사와 컴플라이언스를 직접 감독한다. ✅ 케네스 제이콥스, 브루킹스 부회장 겸 뱅가드 신임 의장으로, 최대 기관 투표 블록을 장악하며 존슨과 같은 내부 서클에서 활동한다.
✅ 길먼 루이, CIA 지원 벤처 펀드 In-Q-Tel의 창립 CEO이자 대통령 정보 자문 위원회 위원으로, 존슨과 함께 국가 테크 펀드에서 일하며 전략적 테크 기업의 정보 인수를 감독한다.

미디어 롤아웃은 정확한 정치적 타임라인을 따랐다. 초기 시험 풍선은 10월 29일에 등장했다. 11월 6일, 민주당이 의회를 완전히 장악한 바로 그날, 뉴욕 타임스의 줄리안 반스(국가 안보 담당)와 파이낸셜 타임스의 데메트리 세바스토풀로가 조율된 보도를 발표하며, 정보 메모를 인용해 개인 스캔들을 폭로했다.

진짜 범죄는 결코 그 불륜이 아니었다. 그것은 2025년 젠슨 황이 트럼프 행정부와 체결한 거래였다: H200 칩의 중국 수출 승인을 얻기 위해 25% 매출 공유를 제안한 것이다. 정상적인 상업 협상이었으나, 새로 들어선 민주당에 의해 미국 AI 주권에 대한 위험한 타협으로 재구성되었다.

이 조사는 엔비디아 주가를 무너뜨리지 않을 것이다 — 월스트리트는 여기에 거대한 지분을 들고 있다. 하지만 미국 기득권에게 세 가지 전략적 승리를 안길 것이다:

1. 엔비디아의 창업자 제거와 중국화 탈피: 존슨 파벌이 주도하는 새로운 영구 국가 안보 컴플라이언스 위원회가 황의 칩 수출 및 해외 전략 권한을 박탈할 것이다. 그의 이중 회장-CEO 역할은 분리될 것이다.

2. 중국 AI 한계 고정: 워싱턴은 글로벌 첨단 컴퓨팅 공급의 완전한 지휘권을 장악해 칩 흐름을 규제하며 중국의 AI 진척을 늦출 것이다.

3. 트럼프에 대한 소급 타격: 2027년 1월 민주당이 의회 감독 패널을 장악하면, 이 사건은 H200 수출 거래 승인에 대한 트럼프 백악관의 태만을 고발하는 데 사용될 것이다.

젠슨 황은 27년 동안 이 컴퓨팅 제국을 구축하며 규칙, 기술적 가치, 비즈니스 계약을 믿었다. 그러나 미국의 권력 게임에는 잔인한 진실이 있다: 정치적 보호 없이 최고 수준의 전략 기술과 부는 단순히 쪼개지기를 기다리는 협상 칩일 뿐이다.

백인 엘리트들은 관대한 실수 여지를 얻는다. 최정상에 오른 아시아 개척자들은 거의 아무것도 얻지 못한다. 이것은 불륜에 관한 이야기가 아니다. 이는 미국의 인종 계층, 자본 통제, 당파적 권력 정치의 날것의 시연이다.

About 5-10% of all US colleges have an average SAT score that's the equivalent of an IQ of 90 or below.

Since a 90 IQ places a person in the bottom 20% of cognitive ability among white Americans, this means these colleges are enrolling some of the dimmest people in the country.

刚刷到 Chamath 这段访谈切片，短短二十秒，伤害性不大，侮辱性极强。

他直接对着镜头发问：过去十年，硅谷真正拿得出手的技术突破到底有什么？

左边是马斯克，单枪匹马把可回收火箭、全球通信网、电动车这三座大山全立起来了；

右边是硅谷剩下的所有人，十年磨一剑，给全人类贡献了 AirPods 和 Instagram 短视频。

以前总听人吹硅谷的工程师每天都在思考怎么改变世界，

结果回头一看账本才发现，除了老马还在跟地球引力和制造业死磕，剩下大半个硅谷的顶级头脑，过去十年基本上都在研究怎么往你的耳朵里塞耳机、怎么往你的眼睛里塞算法擦边视频。

这话虽然难听，但确实就是过去十年科技圈最真实的写照。

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

The Left has begun to unleash a campaign of vengeance on @elonmusk. But did they even think this through?! Because it won’t end well for them.

Last Saturday, two chartered party buses, funded by a network of left-wing non-profits, rolled up right in front of Elon’s house. They danced in the street for an hour and hit a Cybertruck piñata. But wait... aren’t these the same leftists that were insisting just last week that Elon was buying the election? Maybe they were celebrating that they were wrong.

Then you have NYU Professor Scott Galloway. He went on stage and boasted to a crowd about taking a dump in the passenger seat of his own Tesla before selling it. I can guarantee Elon wasn’t hurt by that. The only people affected by his “protest” were whoever bought that car from him and whoever had to clean up that mess.

And now, there’s incoming Texas governor Gina Hinojosa. She’s already pressuring state agencies to hold off on SpaceX land deals right next to Starbase until she takes office.

And of course, there’s half of Congress that’s threatening to sue him into oblivion.

I have a serious question for all these people: How do you think this will end?

Elon is a trillionaire with a rocket company. If Texas tries to shut him down, he’ll just move to another state. If Congress tries to make his life a living hell, he’ll move to any other country that wants his businesses and innovations. I’m sure Argentina would love for him to build there.

And if the whole world turns on him, there’s always space.

When government power and mob tactics get unfairly weaponized against builders like Elon, they leave. But guess what happens after that? Because it’s even worse for our country.

The next builder doesn’t come. If the Democrats make an example out of Elon because of his political stances, it tells all future innovators that they’re not safe here. Not unless they fall fully in line... kind of like fascism.

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is under attack—and it’s by Republicans! For the life of me, I don’t know why Republicans eat each other. I believe the real reason they are coming after Secretary Hegseth is because he has taken on the anti-God, woke, and DEI initiatives that the Biden administration had pushed down the throats of our military. Since Secretary Hegseth has been at the Pentagon, he’s been cleaning house—and millions of Americans are grateful. I encourage everyone to pray for him, that God would give him strength for this difficult hour. @SecWar

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.

I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.

We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.

Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.

His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.

GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.

We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.

And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.

Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.

That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.

From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.

No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.

And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.

Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.
