On August 14, 2026, President Donald Trump stood in front of a law-enforcement crowd at the David S. Mack Center for Training and Intelligence in Garden City, Long Island. Trump told them that after “defeating Iran” he would declare the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States. The Strait of America?
Unfortunately, I think Altman is right when he says AI will “have perfect context of your whole life” and that it will occur “sometime in the next six months.” This is reminiscent of the Black Mirror episode, Nosedive, where, based on total transparency of activities, a social credit system took over society. Fantasy aside, for this and other reasons, I have moved my AI Multiplier to 3.3 from 3.5, which forecasts the speed of doubling in capacity.
Water is the foundation of life itself. The UN says we are entering an age of “Global Water Bankruptcy” and therefore we should be subjected to “bankruptcy management,” where “conservators” are appointed by the court to manage the sale of remaining assets. Hence, tokenization enters stage right: sell the scarcity to the world in a price auction. The whole scheme is indisputably evil!
Using blockchain-based representations of real-world assets (securities, including equities and bonds), and operating under the SEC’s December 2025 No-Action Letter that covers Russell 1000 stocks and major ETFs, the titans of Wall Street put the pedal to the metal for 4 hours. The test was a successful proof of concept, and DTCC is planning to move toward a live October 2026 launch. The trading system will operational by the end of 2026
Elon Musk speaks the language of Technocracy: terrawatts, functional sequences, capacity, allocation, etc. Terrafab is not an AI data center. It is a 100,000,000 square foot manufacturing facility to build components for the next generation of Ai data centers. Given his propensity for huge, will he announce plans for 100,000,000 square foot AI data center? Or a series of them? How about 200,000,000 square foot center?
The US military is supposed to be under the Constitutional authority of Congress to declare war and provide funding, with the President being the commander-in-chief. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the deployment of military forces on U.S. soil, but Trump is increasingly using the military to condition citizens to accept martial law. In short, the military is not to be used to enforce the President's will.
It isn't just about airports, but about all ports of entry at the border and any checkpoints set by CBP within 100 miles of a border. If you refuse to hand over your phone, you could be charged on the spot. Your digital life isn't in your suitcase, but in your phone. It's the holy grail of snooping. This story starts here: the privacy-first Graphene OS, which can be installed on Google phones, has an auto-destruct feature that is triggered by entering a secret password. This citizen gave the CPB agent that code, which the agent himself entered, and the phone was turned into a lifeless paperweight.
A building spanning 2,315 acres is almost 4 square miles in size. It dwarfs any building on earth and is intended to provide end-to-end chip manufacturing starting with design, fab, quality control, and packaging. And arch-Technocrat Musk says he needs all this to build his own cars, robots, data centers, and spaceships. Don't forget that Musk's grandfather was the head of the Technocracy movement in Canada during the 30s and 40s.
The public hates surveillance cameras and, in particular, Flock cameras. The FBI says they don’t work to solve or prevent crime. Local police love them as a shiny new toy, but police don’t run the cities and they are taking the heat for it. City councils, pushed by citizens, are fighting back to stop Flock and other companies as well. Courtenay Turner and I wrote the Digital Bill of Rights for you to take to all local elected and appointed officials, to show them the right way to protect your rights!
Of course, BlackRock is scrambling to pressure holdout Senators to vote "Yes". Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, is a member of the Trilateral Commission. This is a make-or-break bill for arch-Technocrats in Washington, DC, if they can score this win to consolidate America's new privatized financial system into their hands. My guess is that the votes will appear out of thin air as Trump and his merry band of Technocrats apply maximum pressure.Clari
