….. War is now about AI-led data triangulation. Who is running all this? Peter Thiel and Alex Karp and Elon - The PayPal Mafia are through their various data triangulation mechanisms, including Palantir. In the past, I said AI has a Cabinet seat in President Trump’s Administration. Now, AI is running the war room and very successfully. Already, the Pentagon is creating a new officer corps for Silicon Valley, as Task & Purpose reports, “senior executives of tech giants like Meta and Palantir are being sworn into the Army Reserve as direct-commissioned officers at the unusually high rank of lieutenant colonel”. But that’s just catch-up for optics. The reality is that AI, satellites, and supercomputers are running today’s real war room. The PayPal allies, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, and the rest of the digital surveillance and data management experts, are now deeply integrated into the US Government. The Situation Room in the Pentagon is no longer where the action is. Now it resides between firms like Starlink and Palantir in Silicon Valley.

It is easy to see now, in retrospect that Musk had to leave the White House to run the war room. His timing was perfect. He left on May 28th, and the war started a few weeks later? Was that just dumb luck? Unlikely. Once the war is resolved, there are already hints that Musk may even return to the Administration again. All this means that we were all duped by the Musk/Trump Twitter tantrum. Was it a planned distraction? Did it work? Yes. Never underestimate Trump’s nose for what plays well in the media.

The domestic and foreign fronts in this war are interrelated. It is ironic that both the No King’s Day movement and the situation in Iran today stem from the very same idea – that the redistribution of wealth is needed to make society more just. In 1979 the Communist Socialist Party of Iran joined forces with Islamic leaders on university campuses to complain about the unequal distribution of wealth and opportunity. This is exactly what’s happening today on college campuses in America. The Shah was derided as a symbol of the elites. It didn’t help that the Shah had been carefully and deliberately placed in power by the CIA through their now well-documented efforts to overthrow his democratically elected predecessor, Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, in 1953. Mosaddegh became a problem mainly because he wanted to audit the royalty payments the British were getting from Iranian oil. He feared they were ripping off Iran, which they probably were, so he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company’s assets in Iran (the firm was later renamed British Petroleum, or BP). The coup against Mossadegh, which the CIA admitted to in 1973, was an early example of the US intelligence community’s efforts to generate pop-up-protests and rent-a-riots to overthrow governments abroad. Operation TP Ajax, as it was called, is now declassified. Subsequently, the CIA codified its knowledge in a document in 1983 called “Analysis of Riot Planning,” which outlined how to generate “massive grass-roots support through psychological operations. The coup in Iran was so cheap and successful that the CIA did it again a year later in Guatemala and apparently some seventy other times since.

Today, the Administration believes that this same intelligence community crowd has been organizing color revolutions all over the world ever since Iran in 1953, always using the same playbook, even when these overthrow goals are contrary to Presidential policy. Examples include: The Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004 and The Maidan Revolution in Ukraine ten years later which spurred today’s troubles with Russia, The Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2003, The Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan in 2005, The Arab Spring and probably the recent overthrow of certain political candidates in Romania and Bulgaria and maybe even the recent legal issues that removed Marine Le Pen from politics in France and medical issues that affected André Ventura’s health in Portugal. Today, these same folks are using these tactics in the US and fomenting against the sitting President.

The irony here runs deep for two reasons. First, because neither the Iranians nor the No King’s movement participants seem to understand that satellites can effectively take aim and kill you, or kill your political movement, or give life to it. You also don’t need to have electronics to broadcast your conversations anymore. You speak in a room with no electronics but the oscillations of glass panes in a window or your wine glass can reveal exactly what you said. You don’t even need to say anything. The NSA is tracking everybody’s phones, sweeping up all the data about you and anyone you are within physical proximity of or communicating with. Notice the reports from an MQ-9 Reaper with no call sign flying overhead in LA recently. They can see who is meeting with whom, where, and when. They can track all your financial transactions. The evidence trail is being established. The administration is allowing people enough time and rope to hang themselves. The evidence is being gathered.

Consider the arrest of four USAID officials who have just been arrested for taking a wide range of bribes, gifts, and cash in exchange for allocating the massive pool of money. They allegedly rigged contracts on over $550 million worth of Federal contracts. Now, there are allegations that many NGOs got funded only to make huge campaign contribution payments to the Democratic Party. Their senior management seems to have got their mortgages paid while their NGO entities then went bust, thus making it hard to audit or track the cash flows.

Also, look at the story behind the No King’s Day organizers. The allegation is that some very wealthy people, including Neville Roy Singham, an American citizen based in Shanghai, and the heiress to the Walton fortune, Christy Walton, are bankrolling the movement. Congress says they will subpoena Singham unless he voluntarily comes to explain to Congress why he is bankrolling the protests. You might ask, why doesn’t the administration just shut the No King’s Movement down? The answer is evidence. They need to establish the evidence trail. If the No Kings crowd are dumb enough to organize these protests, let them. It’s not that there are no real organic protestors. There are. But average Americans are too busy working and tending to daily life to organize what we are seeing. They don’t know how to order pallets of concrete blocks and bricks and get them delivered to the right neighborhood at the right time. Of course, this begs the question: “If the NSA and NRO can see a fortune cookie message from space, how can they not know who is dropping these pallets off in the middle of LA?” The answer is they do. They are allowing the organizers and their financial backers to create the evidence trail that’s needed for the courtroom and for diplomacy.

Diplomacy? Yes, if there is a link between money from China (perhaps private money, perhaps state money) and the protests, then Trump and his team will say this: “if you
