I knew Dolphins have been trained historically. In fact some of the U.S experiments with Dolphins got REALLY fucking weird. Granted the people charged with running them were also strange as well.
I was more so commenting that realistically any use of Dolphins to actually plant explosives. Is likely a one way trip for the dolphin.
Many of these are fairly reasonable predictions if you’re remotely knowledgeable about geopolitics, and people more generally.
Trump will likely get his golden ballroom at the White House, justified on security grounds for hosting world leaders.
This is likely a forgone conclusion. Even most of the legalese around it has transitioned from attacking the need for it. To attacking how he went about it. IE he didn’t get Congressional approval first.
Physical attack on the US by China or Russia is possible within the next two years, but not necessarily nuclear devastation. Tension will rise due to US control of Venezuelan oil affecting China.
If any attack comes it’ll Likely be China. We’ve steadily been tightening the noose around them. Cutting off resources and backing them into a corner. Presumably he means a conventional military attack. They’ve already hit us twice with biological weapons. One devastated the Florida Citrus Industry and a Chinese national got busted bringing in a virus that attacks wheat to the U.S grain belt.
In the long term (far future), China may break up into multiple countries.
Historically this is usually the case. What we know as China is historically a collection of countries with loosely shared cultural traditions/identity often bound together by force of arms and a police state. Even today CCP Officials often aren’t allowed to administer regions they’re from. And officials are often shuffled to prevent people growing attached to one area. Plus makes uprisings harder.
The monarchy will become more symbolically important as politics grows chaotic.
Generally the case. In a broader sense as things grow more chaotic and uncertain. People’s fondness for seemingly stable institutions tends to rise. More people regularly attend church for instance. So it’s not impossible people might find more value in the position and notion of monarchy even if they may find Charles and his family personally detestable and unfit for the position.
Rise in cultural interest in kingship, pageantry, and mythic symbols (e.g., more Game of Thrones-style content, possible revival of Arthurian legends in Britain)
Probably see this at a broader scale in Europe generally. As various nations people try to reassert themselves culturally. Monarchy and Pageantry have deep roots in Europe. Wouldn’t be unexpected to see a resurgence in the United States either. Though in the U.S it’d likely be more of a general resurgence of interest in European Heritage. Versus any specific interest or affinity.
Europe will eventually fragment. Germany will lead one bloc (including Austria and German-speaking areas), France another (possibly with Italy/Spain). Countries like Denmark, Netherlands, and Scandinavia may break away.
So Europe will revert to the Europe of pre-1900. Where political blocks form based off cultural similarity/overlap. Rather than overarching notions of European unity. Again not totally unexpected.
A Constitutional Convention should likely be a last resort. As there is no necessary guarantee of the results. And that ultimately means everyone and their brother both foreign and domestic is going want their say.
And given we struggle to conduct elections without foreign interference at the moment. A Convention is likely going to have no shortage of extremely wealthy interests trying to influence the outcome. And American politicians whether federal, state, or local aren’t exactly known for refusing bribes.
Suicide Bomber Dolphins. That’s a new one.
We’ve largely forgotten that peaceful transfers of power have been comparatively rare in history. Normally historically the losing side of the equation gets purged. Whether violently, economically, politically, socially, or culturally. Sometimes all 5. As their continued existence can serve to rather fundamentally undermine the winning faction. In part by providing an alternative when they eventually fuck up. In short the lesson is. Purge your enemies and then set the new boundaries of what is considered acceptable politics for both political wings.
The purge following the power struggle is largely why current dominant political ideologies are all mostly derivatives of classical liberalism and the broader enlightenment. Both left and right. And previous dominant ideologies such as Monarchism are largely confined to history books and or fringe forums. Granted by Monarchism in this context I mean the old style version where the Monarch is actually free to rule and decide policy. Versus the modern one which is basically Parliamentary Democracy with extra steps and a Monarch that’s a figurehead.
Though the amusing thing is browsing X and other social media and seeing people on the right whine that Trump isn’t completely and unilaterally ruling domestically like a King or Authoritarian Strongman. While the left is treating him like the next coming of Hitler.
McCarthy was right and didn’t go far enough
So when is Italy withdrawing from the UN then? If they can’t be part of such organizations. The Abuses and Offenses of the Peacekeepers aren’t exactly unknown.
You have a uniquely profit focused industry. Even many of the people pushing the ‘Natural’ alternatives big in the alternative media sphere. Likely don’t give much of a fuck about their individual customers. So long as they keep making money.
The best you can say about anyone in the industry. Is some of them didn’t intentionally set out to harm anyone with their pills/supplements and or treatments. They just wanted to make piles of money. Are they going to be particularly broken up about anyone getting harmed? Probably not. Did they intentionally set out from day 1 to cause people physical harm with their products? Probably not.
There are some industries where the desire to make money and turn a profit for a Business. Ultimately ensures counter-intuitive results. Compared to whatever rhetoric and stated goals the industry provides. You don’t make money by permanently fixing problems. You make money by ensuring a steady supply of customers. In the case of medicine you only get a steady supply of customers by managing symptoms rather than curing. It’s the Financial Incentive inherent to running a Business.
Trump said they would get to Cuba after Iran is dealt with.
Marco was supposed to be working with the relevant people to start drafting up plans and open relevant discussions with the Cubans.
Either teacher or therapist of some sort. They’re usually the most mentally unstable.
At one point what we now call the Deep State. Represented some of the best and brightest leaders and thinkers we could produce. Great Leaders of Men, Business Tycoons and Industrialists, Scientists, Scholars, Philosophers etc.
Many of the United States key figures, especially in the early days counted themselves either as members of some of the self-same Secret Societies. Or close friends/family of members. The same groups that now cause us problems today
Frankly an inordinate amount of the values of the United States took inspiration from Masonic traditions. It’s probably fair to say that without the precursors of the “Deep State”. It’s fairly likely that Classical Liberalism from which the U.S was birthed. Likely would never have come about.
Might be it’s saying goodbye to what they once represented rather than what they became. As we turn the page on a new era
The Political Map for the next century. Maybe longer is being written. And Trump is making sure America is the one writing it. This also goes far beyond just the Middle East.
He’s been rearranging the pieces on the board and frankly is going to get ready to either remove every major opponent. Or place them decisively in Checkmate.
He’s been taking steps to contain China. And steadily taking control over oil and major shipping routes. Including major choke points. The recent Defense Agreement with Indonesia more or less gives us indirect control of the strait Malacca and the shipping routes that runs through it. Which includes Chinese shipping.
The Japanese have steadily been rearming. I can almost guarantee with the full support of the U.S.
We’re also taking steps to rebuild logistics capacity to an unprecedented degree.
He’s set up Turkey to take a hit. Likely with the objective of dethroning Erdogan. As he’s stepped on one too many toes and is too much of a wild card. Playing his game of Neo-Ottoman Muslim Brotherhood bullshit. Especially since he’s been actively targeting U.S regional allies and proxies.
The Chinese have just seen their latest and greats Air Defense Systems fail twice in the span of 6 months. To equipment these systems were supposedly specifically designed to defeat. Losing themselves and BRICs as a whole. Valuable Allies in the form of Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela.
Their lack of response to Iran has also jeopardized the Belt and Road initiative. Meaning now they’ve gotta spend months if not years soothing concerns.
OPEC is starting to fall apart at the seams. Likely at Americas behest.
He’s still pressing the Greenland Angle. Depending on how the Canadians referendum goes in the fall. We’ll likely be ending up securing defacto control of the Alberta Tar Sands.
It’s a global geopolitical chess game being played masterfully. In such a way that most Americans don’t even realize it.
One of the ideas surrounding Aliens. Or at least some ‘Species’ as it were. Is that they’re us. But from either different points in time and or alternate timelines.
Though there are some theories that are a bit more all encompassing. In that according to some theories we’re simultaneously dealing with both classical Extraterrestrials. Future/alternate versions of humanity. As well as Inter-dimensional elements.
You can lie on the expense report. But the Corporate Accountants can still look up where the cards are being charged at.
Which means he was doing it with the full knowledge of other people in the corporate leadership hierarchy. And if they weren’t approving it. They at the very least were tolerating it.
Fun fact. The practice of telling the Bees is an extremely old one with no clear origin. Seemingly unique to Europe. Though some possible links to the early Bronze Age civilizations. Maybe even earlier. So well over 3,000+ years old at this point.
The Bees had to be informed of Deaths in the Family, Deaths of Keepers, Marriages, and changes of ownership of the hives or property. Otherwise it was believed they’d either leave, stop producing honey, or die. Which in of itself was considered an omen for further misfortune.
The weird thing. Is it seems to have legitimate basis in reality. Hives have been noted on numerous occasions as displaying unusual behavior in response to the tradition being followed. In the event the funeral is held on the same property as the hives. There’s been several instances where the Bees have been noted to seemingly attend the funeral. Swarming in large numbers without stinging or interfering in the proceedings. Even in areas where there were no flowers or other plants that could serve to draw them there. Almost as if they were grieving their keeper
Indeed. It’s been easy to miss. Given all the other news of late. But the U.S has steadily been either taking direct control of, or indirect defacto control of major shipping lanes as well.
We inked a Defense Agreement with Indonesia a couple days ago. Which in of itself wasn’t anything special.
Basing rights, training, assistance in Military modernization. Promises to conduct exercises with them. Fairly bog standard.
Buried in there though was terms giving the U.S clearance to fly and conduct missions over 100% of Indonesian Airspace without restrictions. Including the Strait of Malacca. Meaning traffic through there is now passing under the Aircraft of the U.S Navy and Airforce. Another checkmate on the Chinese. And really anyone else that mildly inconveniences us.
Out of all the questionable things an executive could use Corporate Money for. Strippers is surprisingly mundane.
He made up an "innocuous" detail about his schedule in hopes it would be leaked. When it appeared in the media, he was able to confront the person with whom he shared it.
Fairly basic counter-intelligence tactic. There is a part of me that is surprised it actually worked. But it’s worked time and time again throughout history. Even on people far more intelligent than the career bureaucrats Bongino was dealing with. So I suppose it shouldn’t be that surprising.
OPEC collapsing was not on my bingo card for this year. And with the UAE exiting stage left. Others are likely going to follow in short order.
So who had OPEC collapsing on their bingo card for this year?
Edit: Archived link of the news article for those interested
So basically. Data breach at a 3rd party contractor revealed the AI version supposedly too dangerous to release to the general public. To unknown threat actors
You’d think after several decades of major IT breaches related to 3rd party sub-contractors fucking up. Or employees of subcontractors willingly being inside men. People would go back to doing shit in house.
Better safe to assume as a rule of thumb they are using it nefariously. Though it also wouldn’t completely shock me if they are being honest and are just computer/tech nerds just that Autistic about AI they wanted the latest gadget to vibe code and mess around with.
Seeming miracle tech comes out of nowhere from anonymous inventor. Achieves widespread adoption by the sectors of the economy most likely to be critical or weary of centralized banking/Financial systems. IE Criminals and assorted political fringe groups.
Stands to reason crypto was always meant to be a technique to nail down two parts of society difficult to nail down. That being organized crime and radical political fringes.
Militarily they’re near impotent. The Domestic situation is increasingly unstable due to the diversity. And Parliament has recently succeeded in gutting their Special Forces contingent by allowing the prosecutions of SAS members. Financially their influence has been fading quickly with the U.Ks larger fortunes.
The U.K and it’s rock collection is largely dependent on remaining in the U.S good graces.
An inordinate amount of Trumps activities at the start of the year. Have been directed towards isolating China and cutting off resources and or allies. As well as locking down trade routes Chinese goods and oil pass through.
That was part of the reason behind bombing Iran. Also why we yoinked Maduro. And why we’re planning on knocking Cuba out of the equation.
It went largely without notice several months ago. China was Wargaming operations in the Caribbean and Southern U.S using bases in Cuba and Venezuela.
Which is ultimately likely what was the straw that broke the Camel’s back and spelled the End of Maduro and Cuba. As the implicit threat is one that couldn’t be ignored.
