Escobar: The Discombobulated West Authored by Pepe Escobar, Neo-Caligula – a.k.a. The Undisputed Tariff Champion of the World – seems to be surprised that Iran has not capitulated. No wonder. No clueless sycophant amongst his astonishingly mediocre inner circle is intellectually equipped to explain to neo-Caligula, in soundbites, the basics of Shi’ism. It gets worse. What’s actually on the imperial table is the return of Total War as a political cover up, benefitting a sizable chunk of the massively corrupt/perverse Anglo-American/Atlanticist oligarchy. The Geneva […]

Is Privacy Entirely Gone? Authored by Jeffrey A. Tucker via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), If you watch any movie from the 1940s in the film noir genre, you will see a recurring theme. Someone does something bad but runs away to another state. He might put on a disguise. People try to find him but cannot. He checks in and out of hotels under an assumed name. The heroic detective works to put together clues to connect the dots. Urban Tech Imagery/Shutterstock So on it goes in many variations of this theme, all of which turn on technological limitations.

Rogue AI Just Yeeted $250,000 Into the Void Solana’s memecoin casino has seen its fair share of rug pulls, pump-and-dumps, and surrealist performance art.

The agent, dubbed Lobstar Wilde, was built by Nik Pash - an OpenAI employee and former head of AI at the coding agent startup Cline (fired for saying 'imagine the smell' regarding Indians). On Thursday, Pash posted on X that he had given his bot a crypto wallet loaded with […]

The DNC Covered Up Its 2024 Election Autopsy, And Now We Know Why After the 2024 presidential election, the Democratic National Committee conducted an autopsy of the party’s defeat and intended to release it. It pledged an honest accounting of how Donald Trump reclaimed the White House. It assured its own officials, strategists, and donor class that a thorough post-mortem was coming. However, after the autopsy was complete, the DNC clammed up and kept it under wraps. There was something in the report they didn’t want the public to see, and Democrats weren’t happy about […]

AI Beats Human Research Teams At Crunching Medical Data Whether you think AI is on the cusp of replacing millions of jobs, or an overblown Google search designed to agree with you, one thing is sure: people whose job it is to analyze complex medical data might want to pay attention... For years, biomedical research has had a problem: too much data, not enough people who know how to wrangle it - or simply that it took months to do so. Modern health studies generate oceans of molecular information - gene expression, DNA methylation, microbiome profiles. Turning that into […]

US Dominates Global Data Center Population Data centers power everything from streaming and cloud storage to the AI systems reshaping industries. When it comes to scale, one country stands far ahead.

US Begins Evacuating Some Personnel From Beirut Embassy As Iran War Looms When it comes to the Middle East and rising tensions, the most watched US diplomatic compound in the whole region is the American embassy in Beirut.

EU Says Trump's Tariff Workaround Violates Trade Deal Update (1715ET): Europe is now getting 'legal' over the whole thing - claiming that Trump's new tariff workaround violates levels permitted in their trade agreement, Bloomberg reports. The European Commission, which handles trade matters for the bloc, told lawmakers Monday that the new global tariff will be added to levies that are already in place, according to Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s trade committee. The new cumulative rate means some goods would be above the 15% ceiling the EU and US agreed […]

The Walls Street Journal reports Monday, "The Pentagon is raising concerns to President Trump about an extended military campaign against Iran, advising that war plans being considered […]

For most Americans, something feels off.  You work harder. You earn more. Yet your money buys less.  Groceries. Insurance. Healthcare. Rent. Utilities.  It’s not your imagination.

What Causes Stagflation? Authored by Frank Shostak via The Mises Institute, In the late 1960’s Edmund Phelps and Milton Friedman challenged the popular view that there can be a sustainable trade-off between inflation and unemployment. In fact, over time, according to Friedman, expansionary central bank policies set the platform for lower economic growth and a higher rate of inflation (i.e., stagflation). A famous case of stagflation occurred during the 1974-75 period. In March 1975, industrial production fell by nearly 13 percent year-on-year while the yearly growth rate […]
