Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

The terrorist threat™ is nowadays the narco cartel. Since weapons of mass destruction are no longer entirely convincing, they had to come up with this narrative... The US continues to threaten Russia's friends, but this could backfire, as in the case of India, which is growing closer to China. Illegitimate president? Will Trump reinstate Guaidò? How urgent is Venezuela's oil for Trump?
 
If the Amerikan threat turns out to be true and will impose the massive slap
and then its boot on Venezuela" face ,
countless in the South already know that
The Corporation called the United States has an absolute ownership and control of everything tangible in its backyard
not only today but also tomorrow and forevermore .
[add world without end ].
The intangible is also included.
 
A related aside: I've noticed rising concern in social media posts and articles about the high energy and water demands of data centers, and the prediction that these needs will expand and rise very quickly to strain existing power grids. I've also heard people complaining that their own energy bills have risen in the wake of data centers opening in their area, which makes me wonder, if true, if the costs aren't being somehow "socialized."

Well, I suppose that's the logic of the system and how money moves. Yes, in the end, it's the population that puts up the money (energy). But I'm doing some futurology, and what's worrying is no longer so much whether the money goes there. If the post-transition goal is to control the remaining population after the SHTF, you're going to need a tool to manage and administer the cattle... for me, that's the purpose of AI. But there's no guarantee that those data centers will survive whatever has to happen.

On closer analysis, when you read about the amount of resources needed by Western companies' AI vs. Chinese AI (DeepSeek), you see that the numbers are inflated. What I mean is: ChatGPT needs more money to run than DeepSeek. When you look at it that way, you realize that the costs could actually be much lower and people shouldn't have to pay so much on their bills. To me, this proves that there is theft and that money could be used for something else.

TL;DR:


DeepSeek outperforms ChatGPT in cost-effectiveness while offering comparable performance in AI tasks like coding, writing, and problem-solving.


Key Takeaways:


  • Pricing: DeepSeek is open-source and free, while ChatGPT Free has limits. DeepSeek API costs ~200x less than GPT-4 Turbo.
  • Performance: DeepSeek matches or beats ChatGPT in coding and math benchmarks while being significantly cheaper.
  • Scalability: Businesses using AI at scale can save 98%+ on processing costs with DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT.
  • Flexibility: DeepSeek is open-source, allowing self-hosting, cutting API costs and enhancing privacy—unlike OpenAI’s proprietary model.
  • Best For: Students, startups, and developers who need AI assistance without high costs.

If budget matters, DeepSeek is the smarter choice. If you need multimodal AI (e.g., image processing), ChatGPT may be worth the extra cost.
 
Terrific interview by Nima with Dmitri Orlov. “EU leaders White House meeting a desperate ploy to siphon off some of the psychic energy that Trump has gained as a result of touching Putin”😂
Krisp AI summary:

Introduction and Support for Dimitri Orlov

- The conversation begins with a greeting and an introduction to Dimitri Orlov, who is welcomed back to the discussion.
- The host inquires about ways to support Dimitri and access his articles, which can be found on his website through a subscription model.
- Dimitri mentions a specific subscription level called "spare change," which is affordable and provides access to his articles, including one he is currently working on regarding the replacement for Pax Americana.

Current Situation in Ukraine

- Dimitri describes the rapidly changing situation in Ukraine, emphasizing that it is not static but evolving significantly.
- He cites alarming statistics regarding Ukrainian casualties, stating that public information suggests losses amounting to 1.7 million, with 600,000 occurring within the current year.
- The CIA factbook indicates that Ukraine has the highest death rate and the lowest birth rate globally, leading to a significant depopulation crisis as people flee the country.
- Dimitri notes that Russian forces have severely damaged Ukraine's infrastructure, particularly systems necessary for surviving harsh winters, making urban areas uninhabitable.
- He highlights the ongoing exodus of women and children from Ukraine, while men face difficulties escaping due to various barriers.
- Dimitri asserts that Ukraine is on a path to irreversible decline, suggesting that the country may never recover from the current state of devastation.
- Additionally, he discusses the effectiveness of Russian drone warfare, which has compromised Ukrainian reconnaissance capabilities and left their forces blind to enemy movements.
- The attrition rate for Ukrainian forces is reported to be alarmingly high, with a significant percentage of new recruits failing to reach the front lines due to various factors, including a lack of adequate training and health issues.
- Dimitri explains that Ukrainian military tactics involve fortifying major cities, but the Russian strategy focuses on encirclement and cutting off supplies, leading to mass surrenders of Ukrainian troops.
- He concludes that the internal dynamics within Ukraine are deteriorating, with civil unrest brewing, and the country's demographic and structural integrity is severely compromised.

Western Response and European Politics

- The conversation shifts to the Western response to the Ukraine situation, with Dimitri expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of current strategies being employed by European leaders.
- He critiques the lack of coherent tactics or strategies among European nations, suggesting that their responses are driven by fear of an impending end to the conflict.
- Dimitri mentions a specific European leader, Merz, who proposed discussions without a ceasefire, indicating a lack of serious diplomatic engagement.
- He humorously suggests that discussions around ceasefire have become trivialized, comparing it to a drinking game among Western media.
- Dimitri highlights the disarray within European politics, pointing out that leaders are more focused on internal issues and personal agendas rather than addressing the Ukraine crisis effectively.
- He notes that the political capital invested by European leaders in Ukraine could lead to significant repercussions for their careers if the situation deteriorates further.

Poland's Position and European Division

- The discussion turns to Poland, with Dimitri asserting that Poland is at a critical juncture, having developed a newfound animosity towards Ukrainians, whom they now view as a greater threat than the Russians.
- He points out that this shift in sentiment is due to the large Ukrainian population in Poland, which has led to rising tensions and resentment.
- Dimitri reflects on the division within Europe regarding the Ukraine policy, citing differing opinions among leaders and nations about the best course of action.
- He also mentions the Germans' plans to procure drones without clarity on their specifications, suggesting that they are misaligned with the current needs of the conflict.
- Dimitri concludes that the European response is characterized by a lack of urgency and effectiveness, as they struggle to adapt to the rapidly evolving conflict landscape.

The Role of Trump and International Dynamics

- The conversation shifts to the international dynamics surrounding Trump and Putin's relationship, with Dimitri suggesting that Trump's meeting with Putin was intended to bolster his own legitimacy amid declining domestic approval ratings.
- He argues that Trump seeks to regain stature by associating himself with Putin, who is perceived as a strong leader, especially as Trump faces challenges with high unemployment and economic instability in the U.S.
- Dimitri critiques the effectiveness of sanctions against Russia, arguing that they have not produced the desired outcomes and that European leaders are failing to recognize this reality.
- He highlights that the geopolitical landscape is shifting, with Russia maintaining its objectives in Ukraine without significant changes in strategy.
- Dimitri expresses skepticism about the ability of European leaders to manage the situation independently, noting that the U.S. public sentiment favors disengagement from the Ukraine conflict.
- He concludes that the American military-industrial complex is likely to benefit from any additional European military spending, further complicating the dynamics of the conflict.

Conclusion and Future Considerations

- Dimitri wraps up the discussion by emphasizing that the future of Ukraine and Europe is uncertain, with significant implications for international relations and security.
- He suggests that the U.S. should reconsider its approach to Ukraine, viewing it as a failed project that detracts from more pressing global issues.
- Dimitri argues that the U.S. should focus on strengthening its relationship with Russia, as both nations share a complex interdependence that could lead to more stable international relations.
- He expresses hope for a more pragmatic approach to foreign policy that prioritizes strategic interests over ideological conflicts.
- The session concludes with an invitation for viewers to support Dimitri's work by subscribing to his articles, with a focus on his upcoming writing about the transition from Pax Americana to a new geopolitical reality.
 
Don`t take me wrong. This was long due. But if he (Bolton) still had any compromising documents in his house, he is beyond saving. He is probably lost anyway.
If these people have become fearful they will be held accountable then getting rid of evidence, documents etc. has been going on. BUT, they have been completely certain they will remain in charge and never face justice. Remember the shock when Hillary lost. If hubris consumes him, like all the rest, then he may have classified documents in his home. What are they looking for? Missing pages in a investigation? Boltons complicity in sabotaging Trump during his first administration?

Hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory (even if it does not always mean winning) instead of reconciliation, which "friendly" groups might promote. Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer collateral consequences from wrongful acts. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments, or capabilities.
How out of touch with reality is Bolton?

Didn't the C's say hubris would be their downfall?
 
Cleaning up DC has been a great success. No need for martial law, the common hoodlums where arrested or are hiding out. Crime is way down, homeless encampments cleared out. How will this continue after 30 days I wonder when the NG leave? The residents are satisfied and happy!

I've noticed rising concern in social media posts and articles about the high energy and water demands of data centers, and the prediction that these needs will expand and rise very quickly to strain existing power grids.
It's really hard for me to imagine that data crunching would be so costly in terms of energy. I remember programming 8-bit processors like the Z-80, tiny things, low power, but even these processors were successfully implemented in complex machine control back in the day. I remember Lau Tzu's plea in the Tao that people should go back to the knotting of rope to record time.
 
It's more than scary particularly after experiencing the Covid practice run! This threat deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.
We might have to 'just say no to all modern tech and 'conveniences'. I have to admit my adventurous spirit is stirred (at least). Gotta be like them hillbillies up at Cesarea, I guess, and just kill and eat the local fauna.
