Absolutely extraordinary paper by RAND, the main think tank of the US military-industrial complex, and another key sign that the U.S. deep state - despite all the chaos and noise - is shifting away from deterring China, towards accepting coexistence (it's literally what they recommend in the paper).

These are the 3 most important recommendations in the paper (which link is here: https://t.co/uze7XClE5P):

1. Rejecting the false belief that a victory is possible in the China-US rivalry and accepting the legitimacy of the Communist Party:

They write that the U.S. should "clarify U.S. objectives in the rivalry with language that explicitly rejects absolute versions of victory and accepts the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party."

They explain that it's necessary because victory is objectively impossible ("the effective destruction of the other is not a feasible option"), rejecting it is imposed by hard realities and because continuing to try would be catastrophic (as it would "threaten [either side's] survival").

2. Accepting coexistence

They write that "each side [must] accept, in ways that are deeply ingrained and broadly shared among decision-making officials, that some degree of modus vivendi must necessarily be part of the relationship." They also write that "each side [must] accept the essential political legitimacy of the other."

3. On Taiwan, they recommend not only reassuring China that it can achieve its reunification objective but also using US leverage AGAINST Taiwan to prevent provocations

This is probably the most surprising aspect of the paper. They recommend that "the United States and China should exchange a mutual set of signals" where the US would make "statements that it does not support Taiwan independence, seek a permanent separation across the Straits, or oppose peaceful unification." They write that the US should be "creating the maximum incentive for Beijing to pursue gradual approaches to realizing its ultimate goal [i.e. reunification]."

More remarkably, they argue the US should "balance its commitments to Taiwan with leveraging its influence to ensure Taiwan's actions do not escalate tensions with China." The paper explicitly criticizes Taiwan's Lai Ching-te for statements asserting Taiwan is "sovereign" and says Washington should use its "potential leverage over Taiwan to limit its activities that upset the status quo" - essentially US leverage to pressure Taiwan into not provoking China.

When such a think tank as RAND makes recommendations this deferential to a strategic competitor, it's not out of kindness of heart, they're anything but peaceniks. It's because they realize that the material balance of power has dramatically shifted.

Volkswagen Group is €11 billion short next year, and lacks funds to produce new car models. Volkswagen half-year report for 2025 showed operating profit down 33% from a year earlier and a negative cash flow of €1.4 billion. VW plans deep cuts, asset sales, and leadership changes.

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️

Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online.

They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse:

- Reasoning fell by 23%
- Long-context memory dropped 30%
- Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy

And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal.

The representational “rot” persisted.

It’s not just bad data → bad output.
It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift.

The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

🇪🇺🃏The Jokerfication of Populism: When Brussels Fears the Voter More Than the Virus
When Europeans vote wrong, the elites don’t change their policies — they change the definition of democracy. That’s the visceral essence of Politico’s hit piece on Geert Wilders. But it’s bigger than Wilders. This is not about one man or one party. It’s about a permanent class, a globalist priesthood in Brussels robes, panicking at the realization that Europeans are no longer hypnotized. So they do what scared regimes always do: they reach for caricature, slander, and fear. This time, literally. Wilders isn’t debated. He’s painted as the Joker, a clownish sociopath. But the mask, dear Brussels, is no longer on him. It’s on you.

Let’s call this what it is: the Jokerfication of European populism.

Geert Wilders’ face is plastered with clown makeup, peeking through a door, as if he’s about to axe down the Netherlands with maniacal laughter. This isn’t journalism. It’s theater — psychological pre-framing designed to elicit disgust before a single idea is heard. The implication is clear: vote for this man, and you’re inviting chaos.

Wilders is the reaction, not the cause.

He is the revolt against:
•Weaponized energy policy that deindustrializes the continent on the altar of “green transition”
•Mass migration that reshapes cultural identity without democratic input
•Woke economic orthodoxy that bankrupts farmers while bailing out banks
•The psychotic war-footing against Russia that has turned Europe into NATO's tip of the spear, not a sovereign bloc

And because the establishment can’t argue with any of that, they smear it instead.

Politico clutches pearls over the fact that Wilders leads a party with no internal democracy. Let’s entertain that critique for a moment.

Then let’s ask: Who elected Ursula von der Leyen?

Who elected the European Central Bank? Who voted for Dutch farmers to be shut down en masse? Who authorized unlimited military packages to Ukraine from the pockets of German, French, and Dutch taxpayers?

The answer: no one.

Brussels is a technocratic mirage, an unelected leviathan that holds elections to validate its power, not check it. When the people vote for establishment parties, it’s democracy. When they vote for nationalists, it’s extremism. When they want border control, it’s xenophobia. When they reject austerity, it’s populist madness.

The actual “one-man rule” is the rule of Davos, enforced by anonymous committees, rubber-stamped by seals in parliaments, and protected by legacy media hit jobs.

Here’s the other sleight-of-hand. While Politico warns of Wilders’ “incendiary” speech and “cult-like” control, they ignore the iron consensus of mainstream parties that have:
•Criminalized dissent (misinformation laws)
•Shamed and silenced citizens (hate speech codes)
•Promoted war without referenda
•Promised peace while funding arms dealers
•Drenched children in gender ideology and called it liberation

If Wilders wants fewer Moroccans, he’s a racist. If Macron wants to bomb Libya and collapse the entire Maghreb, he’s a humanitarian.

Europe is ruled by a liberal theocracy that punishes blasphemy against its sacred tenets: open borders, climate austerity, trans ideology, and Ukraine worship.

But the heretics are organizing and voting.

The people are figuring it out.

They know that when the media calls someone “far-right,” it often means they’re telling uncomfortable truths.

They know the game is rigged and they’re tired of playing it.

And if Brussels doesn’t reverse course? Doesn’t ditch the ideology, abandon the vassalhood, and actually serve the people?

Then this rebellion won’t stop at Wilders, he's not the final solution, he's just managing the symptom.

It will sweep the continent.

So let Politico smear. Let the bureaucrats panic. Let the media recycle “fascism” headlines like it’s 1939.

It's all noise, the message is clear:

Europe is waking up, the elites are terrified.

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.

Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.

What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.

Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).

Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.

A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.

We’ve been fed a lie.

We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.

So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.
