AI saved us from stagnation and collapse.
The West has an opportunity to emerge transformed from this period by leaning into AI
or it can listen to the fearmongerers with hatred for the West in their hearts and decide to economically self-immolated by hampering this tech
Maybe the miracle weapon works. A deus ex machina. But currently everyone in power is desperate for it to work and that shows, despite breathless claims otherwise, that the U.S. and the West weren't doing very well in recent years until the unearned miracle arrived.

Only feeble-minded individuals continue to parrot the line that all-mail elections in Colorado are safe and secure. But did you know that you don’t even need to prove that you live in the state to register to vote in Colorado?
Let me describe how some morally bankrupt nut jobs in other states can and do go about registering to vote in Colorado.
Step 1: Register to vote in Colorado on-line by going to: sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/… (In 2025, 14,506 new registrants were added to the Colorado voter this way. From January to August 2026, 14,990 new on-line registrants were added, so it is getting more popular.)
Step 2: Choose the address of a residence in the district you are seeking to influence. It doesn’t have to be a real address because close enough is good enough (no one checks). You don’t need a Colorado drivers license or ID number (which WOULD be proof you lived in Colorado) just, a (mostly) legal name, date of birth and the last four digits of your social security number (or a student ID if you don't have one).
Step 3: Add an out-of-state mailing address where you will receive / retrieve the Colorado ballot that will be mailed to you. (If you choose an international address, you will be able to vote electronically and save yourself the cost of a stamp on the return ballot.)
It is incredibly hard (virtually impossible if you only have a name, birth date and the last four digits of a social security number) to track if people in different states are voting in the same federal election. And because out-of-state or overseas mailing addresses never expire or have to be renewed on the Colorado voter roll, each election the Colorado voter roll get more and more bloated with people who don’t live in the state.
Step 4: If you check the box that you are “unhoused” your Colorado residence address can be any commercial property, intersection or homeless services provider but you will still need a mailing address. (It is less usual for homeless registrants to have overseas mailing addresses but there are currently seven at Boulder’s homeless shelter who do.)
Approximately 30,306 Colorado ballots will be sent to out-of-state active status registrants this next election and around 21,259 (alleged) Coloradan registrants with international mailing addresses (very few appear to be service members) could potentially vote electronically.
There are SO FEW checks and balances on ensuring Colorado’s voter roll is accurate … it would be very EASY to require some proof of residency (proof of citizenship would be nice too), BUT that would make elections in Colorado safe and secure, something the current Colorado Secretary of State seems to be violently opposed to doing.

Mao – The Bloodiest Idiot Who Ever Lived
Between 45 and 80 million dead. Not in war. Not in camps, mostly. In peacetime, in a country at peace with itself, killed by a series of decisions so stupid that a competent farmer could have refuted every one of them in an afternoon. This is what happens when a warlord with no education in anything runs a billion people – and is applauded from Paris while he does it.
1. The sparrows. In 1958 he decided the birds were eating the grain. So the entire country was mobilized to kill them: villagers banging pots and drums for days so the sparrows could not land, until they dropped dead from exhaustion. Hundreds of millions killed. Then came the locusts, which the sparrows had been eating. The harvest was devoured. The country had to import sparrows from the Soviet Union. A single conversation with an ornithologist – or a farmer – would have prevented it. There was no such conversation, because by then nobody told Mao anything he had not already decided.
2. The backyard furnaces. He wanted to overtake British steel production, so ordinary people were ordered to smelt steel in their yards. Millions of households melted down their own pots, tools, door handles and farm implements in mud furnaces, burning their furniture and their doors for fuel. What came out was unusable pig iron, immediately discarded. They had destroyed working tools to produce slag. And they had done it during harvest season, so the crops rotted in the fields while the peasantry played at metallurgy.
3. The planting theories. Close planting: crowd the seeds together, because plants of the same class do not compete. Deep ploughing: turn the soil to two metres, because deeper roots mean bigger yields. Both were nonsense, both were imposed nationwide on the authority of a man who had never farmed, and both destroyed the harvest wherever they were applied. The agronomists who knew better had learned what happened to agronomists who knew better.
4. Then the lie ate the country. Local officials, facing quotas and terror, reported harvests that did not exist. The state requisitioned grain proportional to the fake numbers. So the villages that had reported the biggest imaginary surpluses had the most real grain taken away. People starved beside empty granaries while China exported food to prove the Leap was working. This is the systemic lie in its purest form: a country that had made truth a crime, then starved on the arithmetic.
5. Between 45 and 80 million dead. The range is that wide because nobody counted – counting would have been a political act. And when Mao was informed, at the Lushan conference in 1959, that the policy was killing people, the man who told him was denounced and purged, and the campaign was intensified. There is no version of this where he did not know. There is only a version where knowing did not matter.
6. Then he did it again to the mind. The Cultural Revolution: students beating teachers, children denouncing parents, temples and libraries and instruments burned, a decade spent severing a four-thousand-year-old civilization from its own memory. Not a side effect – the objective. Destroy the transmission and the new man appears. The new man did not appear. Only the wreckage did.
7. And all the while, Paris applauded. The French intelligentsia – professors, editors, philosophers, entire journals – declared Maoism the future, made the Little Red Book fashionable, and treated any report of the famine as reactionary propaganda. They were not deceived; the reports were available. They simply preferred the theory to the peasants. Sartre and his circle backed the Cultural Revolution while it was burning the libraries. They paid nothing. They were never asked to.
The lesson is not that Mao was evil, though he was. It is that he was stupid – and that stupidity at the top is only lethal when nothing below can correct it. Kill the price signal, kill the free press, kill the expert who contradicts you, and there is no mechanism left to stop a bad idea about sparrows before it becomes forty-five million funerals.
Every system that abolishes correction eventually kills at the scale of its own ignorance. Mao’s ignorance was enormous, and so was his population.
And his portrait still hangs over Tiananmen Square.
Pol Pot – What Happens When a True Believer Takes Power.
He learned it in Paris. And he thought it was for real – not just the moral posturing of irresponsible French intellectuals in their Parisian cafés.
That was the difference. And the difference was two million dead.
Most communist leaders were opportunists. They used the ideology to seize power, and once they had it, the ideology bent to serve the power. Stalin was a gangster with a philosophy. Mao was a warlord with a manifesto. They killed millions – but in the service of control, not conviction.
Pol Pot was a true believer. And that made him the most dangerous kind.
In the early 1950s, as a scholarship student in Paris, he encountered the French Communist Party, the Marxist study circles, the cafés of the Latin Quarter where the ideas circulated among students who would never face the consequences of taking them seriously. The French intellectuals produced these ideas from comfortable apartments – moral posturing, civilizational performance, the gesture of opposition without the risk of implementation. They never intended it to be taken literally.
Pol Pot took it literally.
He returned to Cambodia with the complete theory in his head and the absolute conviction that it was correct. And when he took power in April 1975, he did not wait. Within days – within days – he ordered the complete evacuation of Phnom Penh. Two million people expelled from the capital on foot, at gunpoint, regardless of age or condition. Hospitals emptied. Patients wheeled out on their beds into the street. Because the city was the problem – the center of capitalism, corruption, bourgeois contamination. An honest communist works in the fields. So everyone would work in the fields.
Then he abolished money. Completely. Overnight. The most total implementation of Marxist economics ever attempted – no currency, no markets, no private property, no trade. The economy would be organized by the Angkar – the Organization, which knew what people needed and would provide it. This is what the theory says. He did what it said.
Year Zero. The past abolished. The educated eliminated – they carried the old consciousness in their heads. The family destroyed – it created loyalties that competed with the collective. Glasses confiscated – wearing them suggested literacy, which suggested education, which suggested bourgeois contamination. The killing fields were not a deviation from the theory. They were its conclusion, applied by a man who had read the texts carefully and believed them completely.
Between 1975 and 1979, approximately two million Cambodians died – a quarter of the entire population. Executed, starved, worked to death.
The French intellectuals who produced the ideas that formed him were never held responsible. Sartre continued to write. The cafés continued to operate. In the universities of Paris and Berkeley and Columbia, professors explained that Cambodia was a deviation, an excess, a misapplication.
It was not a deviation. It was the experiment. The answer to the question: what happens when you take the theory seriously and have the power to implement it without constraint?
The intellectuals who taught him went home for dinner. He went home to Cambodia.
That is the difference between posturing and belief. And it is why ideas have consequences – especially the ones that are never meant to be taken seriously.

METR, the org promoted by Dario Amodei to promote "AI safety", raised $71M over the past 6 months -- a sudden *5x* jump.
I audited all public records.
We know only where $350K of $71M came from.
We don't know how the premier AI safety org is funded.

The best AI safety we can do is stop the Anthropic IPO. It’s blatant that the EA people are going to cash in their billions and then spend it all taking over the world in the pursuit of a twisted ideology. It could dwarf the Soros and Singham monetary ecosystems.
Heed this warning.

There is a modern evangelical urge to pretend like whites aren’t being systematically replaced in the West.
We have been propagandized from pulpits across America that to notice this makes you racist.
This urge will be the death of us.
If we don’t fight to prevent being replaced in our own land we will look like England and Europe in no time.
The temptation is to focus on the remaining glories of what is left of Christendom and say to ourselves, “See, it’s not that bad.”
“We’re still the greatest nation in the world.”
It is like looking in a garden and seeing beautiful fruit and ignoring the weeds and critters which are beginning to gather in and around the garden. You may have fruit now, but it won’t be long before all you have is weeds and ransacked stems and branches where that fruit used to be.
Pretending this isn’t happening, and that it’s not intentional, will lead to the ruin of our once great civilization.
Christians throughout the history of the West understood this and fought to maintain what there forefathers sacrificed to give them. We must do the same.
We are currently squandering our civilizational inheritance and in doing so we are despising our children and future generations who will have to deal with the carnage all because we wanted to pretend it wasn’t happening.
Being nice to invaders is being cruel to your posterity.
We owe it to them to fight.

Breaking: The Storm has arrived!
In the old days, one would ring the church bells warning of an incoming storm. People from all around would understand exactly what was happening.
Right now, church bells across the country are ringing…the question is anyone listening?
I do realize some of you are listening, because we communicate with each other fairly routinely. You get it.
Despite the advent of social media allowing warning signs to be addressed, its sound must not be loud enough. Most of America doesn’t realize how far we’ve gone over to socialism. Politics as usual won’t do the trick anymore. Voting still matters, but we must seek new leaders and quickly get rid of the uniparty establishment that has brought us to our knees. Seriously, we can’t even pass VOTER ID!
History has a tendency to repeat itself. Sometimes it's the same plot with different actors or the modern arrangement of an old musical score. Those of you that are musically inclined will understand that phrase.
When I say globalists are on the march and have a death grip on institutions all across America, I mean it. I speak about accountability all the time until many of you get sick of it (I see it in the comments). I will not relent.
Without accountability of those who committed the most egregious crimes of treason or conspiracy to overthrow our government are placed in checkmate, the storm will not subside and in fact it will only grow in intensity.
Warning, the storm is here!

We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.

Our country is in serious peril.
We don’t have secure elections.
SCOTUS just gave the greenlight for illegal aliens to have children here.
Yet our Senate is on vacation right now & will soon take another vacation in August.
We aren’t a serious nation.

We’re going to win on this birthright citizenship issue. We’re just not going to win quite yet. The America First movement is not complete. It’s not even halfway. It’s in its infancy stage. The things we all want now WILL come to pass over time. Stay involved and keep working.

He’s not a communist.
Like Ilhan Omar, he’s a jihadist masquerading as a socialist. Muslims know Islam doesn’t sell well in the West. So, they use socialism as a Trojan horse to usher in Islamic power.
Socialism is simply a means to an end.
