  • Pre-election, it was a concern for all lawmakers that IDF soldiers showing off their genocide, or Palestinian sympathizers angry about genocide should not be able to embarass the US to young people. Congress voted to “force sale” of TikTok, and Biden signed law many months ago. Minuchin/Zionist groups offered to buy Tik Tok without the algorithm just so they could fully complete the zionist monopoly of news/media through censorship power. After the election, zionist supremacism media exposure doesn’t matter anymore. US/Israel gets to do what they want to do, and explicit Trump/GOP supporters do not hand wring over Islamophobia.

    Biden did say after SCC ruling, that he would not enforce anything, and Apple/Google could have avoided removing from app stores. But Tik Tok went dark anyway, with specific message, imploring glorious new leader’s “progressiveness” on not hating Americans for the complete BS that was the ban fiasco. Even if bipartisan zionist congress voted for ban, with explicit justification that Israel needs to be given a better image to young people, it is flattery to Trump to make this all balmed on dark Brandon.








  • Overall good points, but:

    The most potent political lesson of the past four years is that politicians who preside over rising prices – regardless of their role in causing them – will swiftly feel the wrath of their voters. The public is furious about inflation, whether it comes from transient covid supply chain shocks, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or cartels using “inflation” as cover for illegal, collusive price-gouging.

    GOP complaining about inflation and deficits is them finding something to complain about a strong economy. PP/canada conservatives complaining about carbon tax is supporting Ukrainian nazis while global diesel/home heating fuel refining was at maximum capacity. The Ukrainian support was common to all parties. They had to make up complaints.

    Some other things Canada can do is export taxes on resources and energy. The US can’t replace Canada where it is needed in short term.

    The big policy change is opening up FDI to China. Can put restrictions on natural resources to also invest in manufacturing using those resources, but treating the US as the only permissible option for investment is bad for Canadian companies and jobs. While Canadians are firmly programed in US foreign policy propaganda, if Trump/US adopts a “coercion until you accept being a territorial posession”, Canada needs to take a friendlier stance towards Russia, North Korea, China, and deprogram itself from US empire bs. It should continue advertising secession and provincehood to US states.


  • U.S. sponsored and sponsors many movements around the globe as long as their goals align. That money alone can’t invalidate the cause.

    USSC declares money is speech. You not only agree, but go further that money is truth. Naziism and Islamist fascism is truth. Democracy, and political power, is much cheaper in smaller countries made less stable with US extortion and war. Navalny caught on video soliciting MI6 for funding to destabilize Russia. Hong Kong media mogul fomenting protests because of Americas values.

    The US empire’s values are extortion, control, puppetry, and war whitewashed/described with a facade of liberal freedom. Every country is to be a pawn for the empire to the detriment of their population. The political establishment’s disdain for Americans provides no valid expectation for the empire to promote humanism elsewhere. Just propaganda.



  • For the actual policy details not paywalled:

    Nvidia:

    “It makes no sense for the Biden White House to control everyday data center computers and technology already in gaming PCs worldwide, disguised as an anti-China move,” Finkle wrote. “The extreme ‘country cap’ policy will affect mainstream computers in countries around the world, doing nothing to promote national security but pushing the world to alternative technologies.”

    the 50000 GPUs over 3 years per tier 2 country would seem to include consumer gamers from that country, perhaps buying older generation rtx30? gpus. 0 GPUs to China/others. Seems to make tier 2 worse than current China policies, while also “forcing Nvidia” to also only sell $2000 Blackwells in tier 2 countries.

    Maybe a backdoor that is opened is to build all datacenters in Tier 1 countries, and then use the 25% allowance to expand to tier 2.

    China’s “delete America” program is justified over this, and its not that far behind in single GPU performance, and ahead of rtx30. Just drivers and interconnection that need to catch up. Which doesn’t seem like an impossible task, especially in controlled hardware environments. National resources increasing/doubling for that goal is a likely response.

    The whole national security justification and warmongering bent is troublesome. AI must serve war and US supremacy, and must be used against American people to ensure the supremacy.
