If you're not mad 357 members of Congress made the conscious decision to cover up sexual harassment records, you aren't paying enough attention.

Palantir's CEO just told a room of Silicon Valley investors that AI is about to blow up the Democratic Party's professional class base.​ Alex Karp runs Palantir, which builds AI systems for the Pentagon, the CIA, and allied militaries.​ He is describing what his technology is likely to do to the workforce and the political map. Karp says AI will heavily disrupt college educated, highly trained professionals, the core Democratic voter base in cities and suburbs.​ He argues their economic power will shrink as AI eats white‑collar work. He also says vocational, working class jobs in the physical world will gain relative power because AI cannot easily replace them.​ Those workers are often male, non‑degreed, and more likely to vote Republican. Karp calls anyone who thinks this disruption will somehow be politically manageable "in an insane asylum".​ He is saying out loud that you cannot wreck one side's core voters and expect politics to stay stable. Then he turns to Silicon Valley. He argues the industry cannot both destroy professional‑class jobs and refuse to support the US military at the same time.​ In his view, the only justification for taking on huge social risk from AI is national defense.​ If America does not build these systems, adversaries will, and Americans could end up under someone else’s rules. He warns that if AI companies decouple from the military, they invite a backlash from both left and right.​ That backlash, he suggests, points toward bringing AI companies under direct government control. Karp says these technologies are “dangerous societally” and will disrupt “the very fabric of our society, including the most powerful parts of our society”.​ He is telling the industry it owes the public an explanation for why this disruption is worth it. His core message is that AI will weaken Democratic leaning educated workers, strengthen vocational workers, and push politics toward a showdown over who controls the tech.​ And unless AI is clearly tied to defending the country, he thinks the public will eventually move to seize it.

Nobody is telling you how FUCKED the entire supply chain of modern civilization actually is right now. Everyone is watching oil prices. $120 a barrel. Headlines everywhere. Nobody is talking about what oil BECOMES after it's refined. Here's what happens when 20 million barrels per day disappear: 92% of the world's SULFUR comes from oil and gas refining. Sulfur → sulfuric acid. The single most produced chemical on Earth. Without sulfuric acid, you can't extract: → Copper → Cobalt → Nickel Without those metals: → No transformers → No EV batteries → No data center substrates → No electronics. Period. One chemical. One feedstock. One chokepoint. ALL shut down. But it gets worse. Qatar ships a massive share of the world's LNG through Hormuz. That gas powers TAIWAN. → Taiwan has days of LNG reserves left → TSMC uses 9% of Taiwan's TOTAL electricity → TSMC makes 90% of the world's advanced chips → No gas → no power → no chips → no AI, no phones, no military hardware Still think this is about gas prices? One-third of the world's nitrogen fertilizer feedstock moves through the Strait. → Synthetic nitrogen is the reason 4 BILLION people are alive → Without it, global agricultural output doesn't decline — it COLLAPSES → You can't eat semiconductors Three supply chains. One 21-nautical-mile chokepoint. ALL exposed: Energy → Sulfur → Acid → Metals → Every battery and chip on Earth Gas → Power → Taiwan → 90% of advanced semiconductors Feedstock → Nitrogen → FOOD for half of humanity "Black rain" is falling on Tehran right now. Sulfur dioxide and toxic hydrocarbons pouring into the atmosphere from bombed oil refineries. The same sulfur that was supposed to become sulfuric acid. That was supposed to extract the copper. That was supposed to build the transformers. That was supposed to power the grid. Instead it's burning. Falling as acid rain on 15 million people. And every drop that falls is one less unit of industrial capacity the world will have for MONTHS. This isn't an oil crisis. This isn't even an energy crisis. This is a CIVILIZATION crisis hiding behind an oil price. And nobody is talking about it. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 The world needs to see this. RT + Follow. 🚨🚨🚨
