🚨BRICS SUMMIT 2023🚨 {1/3} ✅ IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS EVERYTHING CHANGES FOR THE UNITED STATES ✅ THE DE-DOLLARIZATION MOMENT MIGHT FINALLY BE HERE ✅ A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY THAT STANDS AS THE BACKBONE OF A NEW BRICS CURRENCY IS BEING ROLLED OUT IN EARNEST ‼️In 24 hours, Putin and China will change everything. Yes, tomorrow, a BRICS lightning bolt will shock the Western hegemony that's been ruling the world for decades. Western media is totally ignoring the story, by the way, because they don't want to admit what's about to happen. Goldman Sachs, though, understands it, and they believe that by the year 2050, the BRICS nations will dominate the global economy. So on Tuesday, yes, tomorrow, the BRICS summit officially kicks off in South Africa. This is the first face-to-face BRICS summit since the start of COVID, and we are about to witness a rebalancing of the world order. ‼️The agenda items at this summit are massive: 💥The currency, yes, a new currency, trade, military cooperation, AI, microchips, oil, all of it, infrastructure, rail lines, shipping. This is a big, big deal. And the United States, I guess, didn't get an invitation. The British didn't get an invitation. Germany isn't welcome. Is the game over for the Western hegemony? Well, the writing is on the wall. Now, for those of you that don't know, BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. And it started out small, over a decade ago, and now it's become the greatest threat to Western power that we've ever seen. And I'm not talking about military power here, which we'll get to in a second. I'm actually talking about economic power, oil power, computer power, trade power, the greatest weapons of all, not those bombs. 💥Now the top of the agenda is the United States dollar, squarely in the crosshairs. Here's how Foreign Policy magazine headlines this moment, a BRICS currency could shake the dollar's dominance. The de-dollarization moment might finally be here. Really? Is it true? After all, talk of getting rid of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency goes back to the 1960s. Here's the New York Times, in 1968, talking about France trying to separate itself from the U.S. dollar. Yes, French President Charles de Gaulle versus Lyndon Johnson. That's how old this is. That's how far back this goes. This isn't new at all. But now we are at a tipping point. Brazil's president, Lula da Silva, says that every night he asks himself why all of these countries have to base their trade on the U.S. dollar. Can you imagine every night before going to bed, that's the thought that you have? And what he does? Well, now they don't. A gold-backed currency that stands as the backbone of a new BRICS currency is being rolled out in earnest. Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa, trading oil, computer chips, minerals and settling those transactions in a reserve currency that has nothing to do with the U.S. dollar. All of the previous meetings of these BRICS nations have been leading up to this moment in South Africa. BRICS countries are home to more than 3.2 billion people, around 40% of the global population. None of the bloc's members is in the G7, the group of seven advanced economies. To increase its influence, BRICS is considering bringing new members into the fold. Just look at the trade between the BRICS nations. There's a massive financial surplus. The BRICS nations have a trade surplus. Brazil just hit a record trade surplus. So why would they want to settle these transactions with U.S. dollars? Doesn't make any sense. Meanwhile, Europe's trade deficit has hit a new record, nearly $500 billion trade deficit. Which side would you rather be on? Of course, this isn't happening overnight and there are big impediments to a BRICS currency. The biggest issue right now is that if Russia wants to import things from other countries that are not named China, they'll likely have to settle it in U.S. dollars if they want to import those items
@matttttt187 - {Matt} $XRPatriot
{2/3} 💥But what if more countries want to join BRICS and ditch the U.S. dollar? Then there's safety in numbers and the number of people you're doing imports from are part of your BRICS conglomerate. In fact, other countries are noticing and beginning to join. At this summit, Russia and China are expected to approve the new applications of a bunch of new countries into BRICS. Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, just to name a few, they've all submitted requests for membership to be a part of BRICS. And the Turkish government has expressed an interest in joining the group. Those are just a few of the names. But wrap your heads around this one. More than 40 other countries are now vying to join BRICS. Forty. Thamida, what are you hearing about just how much bigger BRICS could get? Well, we've heard from leadership here at the BRICS, this foreign minister's BRICS summit, that at least 19 countries have expressed either formally or informally interest in either joining the BRICS grouping or even having involvement with the BRICS Development Bank, which really is aimed at investing in the global south and developing nations to boost their economies. And this is one of the reasons that BRICS is becoming increasingly attractive to developing nations. BRICS now accounts for 31 percent of global GDP. And just a few months ago, they overtook the United States and the G7 nations for GDP dominance. Goldman Sachs, once again, won't have to wait until 2050. It's already happening. Beyond a gold-backed currency and moving away from the U.S. dollar, one of the biggest stories of this summit in South Africa is AI, generative AI. It's one of their top agenda items. They're holding many meetings on AI this week in South Africa. BRICS wants to dominate AI. And who do you think will be the leader of the AI revolution? China. China announced that it wants to become the global leader in AI by the year 2030. They made this very public pronouncement. And I don't know if you know anything about China, but they are a communist country. And when a communist country makes a public pledge like this, it's all about prestige. So they must make it happen to save face. Yeah, there's no, ah, we missed our target. They have to make it happen. Surprisingly, this was already well known in Washington, D.C., at the Pentagon, in fact. A major threat to America, China becoming the dominant player in AI. In fact, an Air Force cybersecurity whistleblower warned the Pentagon two years ago, said that we must make AI a priority or China will crush us. Here he is. His name is Nicholas Chalin. He warned everyone. No one listened to him. He saw what was happening. And because no one paid attention, he quit in protest. He quit because he thought it was impossible for the United States to compete with China on AI. In this article, he says, quote, we have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years. Right now, it's already a done deal. It's already over, in my opinion, he said. Chalin went on to say that the AI capabilities and cyber defenses of some government departments were at the kindergarten level, he said. Kindergarten. He recently said that China has kids as young as seven years old starting on learning AI and machine learning. Seven years old. He says the United States doesn't stand a chance unless it doesn't get its act together. Interesting to see that China is not wasting that kind of time and then are waiting for us to figure it out. And they're taking this very seriously, including having their kids starting at seven years old be trained on AI and machine learning. So when you start paying that kind of investment and really the understanding that whichever country is going to be leading AI and ML will be controlling the planet. Let me repeat what he just said. Whoever leads in AI will rule the planet, he said.
@matttttt187 - {Matt} $XRPatriot
{3/3} The BRICS nations getting rid of the US dollar as a reserve currency, build a new trade and military security and infrastructure alliance and dominating world's AI. Europe and the United States are shaking in their boots and they should be. This week in South Africa is going to be a game changer and we'll be watching it very closely here on the show.

The CIA's taxpayer-funded "nonprofit" investment firm indirectly plays ball with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but have CAS and In-Q-Tel become investment firms for a DOD-PLA closed-door alliance? 🧵🧵***A Gut Punch THREAD***🧵🧵 1/ The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (Select Committee on the CCP) released a report in September of 2024 titled, “CCP ON THE QUAD: How American Taxpayers and Universities Fund the CCP’s Advanced Military and Technological Research” . (https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-09-24%20Research%20Security%20Report%20Final.pdf…) The Select Committee on the CCP report focused heavily on three universities particularly: University of California at Berkeley, Tsinghua University, and Georgia Technical Institute, or Georgia Tech. But three other key universities to the target study, two of which are technically privately funded, were entirely overlooked in the report: Stanford University, University of Southern California (USC), and University of California-San Diego (UCSD). All three of these schools received funding from U.S. government contractor Fulgent Genetics’ founder-CEO and Fudan University trustee, Ming Hsieh. Beyond that, however, the CIA also sinks endless resources into southern California and Silicon Valley through its (technically) “nonprofit” venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel. There have been growing questions and concerns over the autonomy of Hong Kong for the past decade, and in 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo officially declared to Congress that Hong Kong no long functions as an autonomous region from the Mainland People’s Republic of China government . (https://cnn.com/2020/05/27/politics/hong-kong-pompeo-certification/index.html) Scores of In-Q-Tel affiliates and adjacent investment partners have grown into the uberwealthy class of America. This has in effect made In-Q-Tel, and therefore the C.I.A., a centralized “authority” of sorts as to who can and cannot exert influence over society at-large. Examples of this abound such as Domino Data Lab, founded in 2013, which can be tracked back to both In-Q-Tel (the C.I.A.) and Mainland China capital (Sequoia Capital).

2/ The Fudan-UC Center (https://today.ucsd.edu/story/university_of_california_partners_with_fudan_university_to_found_a_center_o) On July 9, 2012, UCSD announced the agreement to open the Fudan-UC Center, a joint-institute between the University of California system — 10 public universities — and Fudan University in Shanghai, China. (https://fudan-uc.ucsd.edu/about/index.html) The Fudan-UC Center was established with now-former Fudan University Vice President Lin Shangli and eight other high-ranking Fudan University faculty members. (web.archive.org/web/2018060716…) The new Fudan-UC Center’s stated main objective was to connect every public university in California with Shanghai. Lin is a member of the Communist Party of China and is the President and Vice Chairman of the University Council of the Communist Party “headquarters” of Renmin University. “Professor LIN is a productive author of many publications: Domestic Intergovernmental Relations, Party Politics and Modernization, The Logic of Politics-The Principles of Marxist Political Science (co-authored), Studies in Contemporary Chinese Politics Formation, The Communist Party of China and State Building, and Contemporary Chinese Politics: Foundation and Development, and hundreds of academic papers.” -National Academy of Development and Strategy, Renmin University, P.R.C.

3/ Communism Taking Root in America According to UCSD and the Fudan-UC Center in 2013, Lin was appointed to his position of Vice President of Fudan University at the exact time Fulgent Genetics CEO Ming Hsieh was joining the Board of Trustees at Fudan University in mid-2011. (web.archive.org/web/2013032911…) The domain “http://china.ucsd.edu” is the website of UCSD’s “21st Century China Center” while “http://fudan-uc.ucsd.edu” correlates to the “Fudan-UC Center” UCSD’s official address is listed as 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA. This will be important again soon.

4/ CIA Goes to Venture Capital-land In-Q-Tel (IQT) was originally founded in part by Gilman Louie as the “non-profit” (the profits are simply reinvested per their charter) venture capital arm (State Department’s USAID and National Science Foundation already does this) explicitly to be an appendage of the CIA. (https://irp.fas.org/cia/news/pr093099.htm) One of IQT’s earliest investments (as of 2003) included BGI “founder” Stephen Hsu and his company, SafeWeb. (web.archive.org/web/2003122017…) Another early investment was Decru, a mass storage solution from Stanford professors, one of whom used to work for the Israeli military, and who had Greylock Partners join them on the 2002 funding round. (https://web.archive.org/web/20201027115641/https://www.iqt.org/news/decru-raises-over-27-million-in-second-round-financing/) On the board of IQT since 2000 has been Howard E. Cox, a special limited partner of Greylock Partners who is now the Chairman of the Finance and Investment Committee of In-Q-Tel. (https://bens.org/people/howard-e-cox/)
@GusQuixote - Gus' Revenge
5/ In 2002, the University of Michigan School of Business (now Ross School of Business) put on a “Growth Capital Symposium,” where Howard Cox listed his simultaneous board memberships at Landacorp and In-Q-Tel. (https://websites.umich.edu/~cvpumbs/calendar/GCS-brochure.pdf) Another longtime partner at Greylock is David Sze, who is also on the Committee of 100 with Fulgent Genetics founder-CEO Ming Hsieh. (https://www.committee100.org/media-center/committee-of-100-welcomes-nine-new-members/) Israeli Intelligence with Direct Line into Silicon Valley Venture Capital Just weeks ago, Greylock hired a former Israeli intelligence officer into their firm, immediately deploying her back to Israel to conduct business for the In-Q-Tel associates of Greylock Partners. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mor-chen-46460873/details/volunteering-experiences/) Jonathan Choi, whom I’ve covered rather exhaustively to date, is on the Board of Trustees at Fudan University with U.S. government contractor Ming Hsieh, but Choi is also the Chairman of the Hong Kong, China and Israel Civil Technology Cooperation and Promotion Center (中国香港以色列民间科技合作及促进中心).

6/ In 2018, Michael D. Griffin gave testimony before the Senate Armed Forces Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities and mentioned an office on Sand Hill Road that he ran while COO of In-Q-Tel in the early 2000s. In 2003, In-Q-Tel was named as an owner of a company called Soflinx Corporation in SEC filings, using the address “2440 Sand Hill Road” in Menlo Park, CA — the one-mile financial epicenter of Silicon Valley just another mile or so from Stanford University. Greylock Partners offices are located within an actual stone’s-throw of In-Q-Tel’s 2440 Sand Hill address. Another mile or so and a left turn takes you to In-Q-Tel’s official address.
@GusQuixote - Gus' Revenge
7/ Michael Crow Dr. Michael Crow has been on the board of In-Q-Tel since very early on and is now Chairman of the Board. In addition to this role, he is also the President of Arizona State University and was previously the Executive Vice Provost of Columbia University. (https://president.asu.edu/sites/default/files/2023-02/Crow_Curriculum_Vitae_2023_01-01.pdf) Arizona State sent one of their top young “Big Data” analytics researchers, Jiayu Zhou, to Michigan State in 2015, where In-Q-Tel’s SafeWeb and now-blacklisted BGI Genetics founder Stephen Hsu was Vice President of Research and Graduate Studies. (https://illidanlab.github.io/whitepaper.pdf) Other Universities Tap Into In-Q-Tel’s Resources On In-Q-Tel’s very consistent Board of Trustees sits Elisabeth Paté-Cornell, the Chair of the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Also sits Charles M. Vest, President Emeritus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and former Chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on the Redesign of the Space Station. Finally is Anita K. Jones, a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. MIT’s Sloan School of Business Management offers a dual degree program with Fudan University.

8/ In-Q-Tel and Intelligence-Defense Contractors Both IQT and UCSD have both nurtured a special relationship with Booz & Company (web.archive.org/web/2017010821…), the original, parent company of Booz-Allen Hamilton, while fostering long-standing partnerships with notorious intelligence community contractors like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and others. Also partnered with UCSD are multiple In-Q-Tel companies like Google and Facebook (Facebook is actually in Greylock’s portfolio, with founder Howard Cox on the In-Q-Tel Board) since at least 2006. Raytheon owns the NSF-built GENI research network that’s been deployed for about two decades. As recently as November of 2020, Reuters reported that a Chinese national, American citizen, and engineer at Raytheon named Wei Sun was sentenced to 38 months in prison for technology exports to China. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-raytheon-engineer/chinese-american-raytheon-engineer-sentenced-to-prison-for-technology-exports-idUSKBN27Y2R3/) Raytheon has been sanctioned by the Chinese government in recent years for arms sale to Taiwan while also being penalized by the U.S. government for bribery to Qatar and illegal defense technology exports to China, Russia, and Iran. It’s unclear whether the corporate penalties are related to the conviction of Wei Sun. (https://www.psicompany.com/man-prod-info/Raytheon-JPS/Control-Equipment/SNV-12/SNV-12-Case-Study-China.pdf) Raytheon maintains a considerable presence in China’s civil aviation industry despite the Chinese sanctions which were pointed very meticulously at Raytheon’s corporate arms in weaponry.

8/ Yan Zheng Yan Zheng is the Chief of Staff at In-Q-Tel and has been with the taxpayer-funded nonprofit VC firm since 2018. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/yan-zheng-8aa84b1/details/experience/https://www.linkedin.com/in/yan-zheng-8aa84b1/details/experience/) Yan Zheng has been publishing in academic journals since his time at UC San Diego (UCSD) in 2004, and until moving to UC-Santa Barbara in 2005 to begin graduate school. Zheng staged an actual coup on the UCSD chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, sometimes “I3E”) in 2004. The next year he moved into the office of treasurer before heading to Santa Barbara and later government work. (web.archive.org/web/2005122812…) Since departing UCSD in 2005, Yan Zheng has published steady streams of research that include work from UC-Santa Barbara, all while working in government in seemingly behind-the-scenes roles. (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2783258.2783357) (https://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/24520-heterogeneous-integration-for-revolutionary-microwave-circuits-at-darpa) In-Q-Tel continued its involvement with UCSD when they invested in a miniaturized zoom lens for cameras through Rhevision in 2006. (https://venturebeat.com/business/cia-in-silicon-valley-invests-in-shocker-a-tiny-photo-lens/) Before In-Q-Tel, Zheng was a leader at Booz Allen Hamilton himself, working on DARPA projects. More Folks at Booz Edward Tse (https://www.weforum.org/stories/authors/edward-tse/) Edward Tse is a Chinese strategy consultant with Booz & Co. based in China who holds degrees from MIT and UC-Berkeley and serves clients that include the Chinese government. He also founded and is CEO of Gao Feng Advisory Company with a contact listed in Shanghai. (http://www.edwardtseblog.com/) (edwardtseblog.com/view/gao-feng-…) Tom Gillespie (https://conferences.db.com/files/documents/americas/Space/DB-Space-Summit-Panelists.pdf) Tom Gillespie is a great example of the Booz-IQT convert. He was a strategy consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton before becoming a Managing Partner in In-Q-Tel’s investment team in 2005. He, too, is a Stanford graduate.

In 2017, AP reported the company was under a probe from the Justice Department for their questionable accounting practices. (https://apnews.com/justice-dept-probing-booz-allen-hamiltons-accounting-b2bcef5565864393b06f73ab87b50167https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/booz-allen-agrees-pay-37745-million-settle-false-claims-act-allegations) (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/booz-allen-agrees-pay-37745-million-settle-false-claims-act-allegations) In July of 2023, Booz Allen agreed to pay $377.45 Million with the Justice Department alleging: “Booz Allen improperly allocated indirect costs associated with its commercial and international business to its government contracts and subcontracts that either had no relationship to those contracts and subcontracts or were allocated to those contracts and subcontracts in disproportionate amounts. The government further alleged that Booz Allen failed to disclose to the government the methods by which it accounted for costs supporting its commercial and international businesses.” (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/booz-allen-agrees-pay-37745-million-settle-false-claims-act-allegations) It’s unclear whether this settlement was connected to the probe announced back in June of 2017. The investigation touched nearly the entire intelligence community, presumably in tracking down the vast networks of money and equipment that had seemed to vanish for whatever reason.

Larry Ellison, who will be working with @realDonaldTrump on the AI Infrastructure initiative is not only a mad scientist who wants to craft individual mRNA “cancer vaccines” for every person, he is the literal EMBODIMENT of 1984 “Chinese Social Credit” style surveillance. 😳😳😳 This horrifying article is from September, 2024 so it is quite recent… Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’ “George Orwell’s 1984 warned of a future where Big Brother watches every move. Today, modern technology is making that vision a reality, and Oraclefounder Larry Ellison—the world’s second-richest person—sees a growing opportunity for his company to help authorities analyze real-time data from millions of surveillance cameras. “Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week. The world Ellison described sounds eerily similar to China’s social credit system, which controls citizens’ behavior through a network of cameras using some of the world’s most advanced facial recognition software to surveil their populace.” As an aside…Did you know Larry is 80 YEARS OLD?! He looks 50 all day long…Just thought I would throw that out there. He also lives on, and owns the Hawaiian Island of Lanai. Make of that what you will.

Pam received campaign donations from LPS. https://prospect.org/justice/2024-11-22-when-pam-bondi-protected-foreclosure-fraudsters/ LPS has since changed their name to Black Knight, which is a subsidiary of little company called "Intercontinental Exchange", which also owns something you may have heard of called the "New York Stock Exchange" the single largest stock exchange in the world. https://capital.com/markets/shares/largest-stock-exchanges Intercontinental Exchange was a venture started by a man named Jeffrey Sprecher, who is also the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. Sprecher received funding from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BP, Total, Shell, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale. https://digitalcommons.law.umaryland.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1026&context=cong_test https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/12/business/12advantage.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Intercontinental Exchange, helmed by Sprecher, created another company, called "Bakkt". Bakkt is a crypto exchange started in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (one of the largest management consulting firms in the world), Microsoft, Starbucks, and other major companies. https://fortune.com/longform/nyse-owner-bitcoin-exchange-startup/ Bakkt's CEO originally was Kelley Loeffler, Jeffrey Sprechters wife. Kelley Loeffler and her husband began selling stocks on January 24, 2020, the same day Kelley Loeffler attended a private briefing of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions on the spread of "Covid", before the public had been alerted to its severity. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/4/1/21202900/kelly-loeffler-stock-sales-coronavirus-pandemic Loeffler and her husband denied any wrongdoing, saying the trades were made by a third-party advisor and that she learned about them only after they occurred. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/20/politics/senate-stocks-kelly-loeffler-coronavirus/index.html Between January 24 and February 14, they sold between $1.275 and $3.1 million worth of stock in 27 companies, while buying stocks worth between $450,000 and $1 million, including in Citrix, which develops remote collaboration software. https://www.thedailybeast.com/sen-kelly-loeffler-dumped-millions-in-stock-after-coronavirus-briefing/ Bakkt is currently in talks to be acquired by Trump Media & Technology, which is owned by the incoming President, Donald J.

Not gonna lie… Elon’s Vision of AI in 10 Years is Kinda Terrifying • he foresees there will be BILLIONS of Humanoid Robots • 90% of all miles driven will be driven by self-driving autonomous vehicles —— 5 years from now, 50% • How many jobs will go away because of AI? —— he says goods and services will become close to free because billions of robots will provide you with anything you want, for next to nothing. • He says the challenge will be fulfillment, how do you drive fulfillment and meaning in life in people’s lives. —— kinda sounds like that one WEF guy, Yuval Hirari, where he talks about what we should do with all these “Useless Eaters”… • When asked how real is the prospect of AI robots taking over the world, Elon says 20% in 5-10 years🤦🏻♂️ • Ted Cruz and Elon Musk’s view is to win the AI race over China… Elon believes America is and will win the race to AI, and one of the keys to winning that race is to be the country that makes the AI chips. He points out that Taiwan makes 100% of all advanced AI chips. 🔴 MY THOUGHTS: I’d be lying if the thought didn’t cross my mind. Is it all really about beating China to AI? Or something else? https://rumble.com/v6qt2eq-not-gonna-lie-elons-vision-of-ai-in-10-years-is-kinda-terrifying.html

🚨 #BREAKING - HUGE UPDATE... NVIDIA announces that for the *first time,* it will manufacture its AI supercomputers in the United States of America. This investment will produce up to $500B of AI infrastructure. WOW. "NVIDIA Blackwell chip production starts in Arizona — NVIDIA opens first US factories." CEO: “Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency.”
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Jensen Huang just gave a WILD speech: - How one AI computer can process more data than the entire internet - How NVIDIA plans to kill 50 MILLION jobs with AI agents - Why Biden failed (& why Trump's doing a better job) But here's the most terrifying moment no one understood:🧵
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
People missed the most important part of Jensen's Computex keynote. It wasn't about GeForce cards or gaming performance. It was about a fundamental shift in how our economy works. Here's what he revealed that people should have paid close attention to...
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
First, Jensen unveiled Blackwell – NVIDIA's newest AI chip system that's so powerful it defies comprehension. A single Blackwell rack moves more data than the ENTIRE INTERNET at peak traffic. The entire internet moves about 900 terabits per second. One Blackwell spine? 1,040 terabits.
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
That's like going from dial-up to fiber in one generation. But the most shocking part is what these systems are being used for. Jensen didn't call them "data centers" anymore. He called them "AI factories" that produce "tokens" instead of products. This represents a complete shift in our economy:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
"Companies are starting to talk about how many tokens they produced last quarter and how many tokens they produced last month." "Very soon we will be talking about how many tokens we produce every hour just as every single factory does." The implications of this are staggering...
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Remember when cloud computing transformed everything? This is 100x bigger. Jensen revealed that what used to be a $300 million chip business is now becoming an "AI infrastructure industry that will be measured in trillions of dollars." But there's something more alarming he mentioned:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Jensen announced something called "agentic AI" – digital workers that can: • Reason about problems • Break down tasks step by step • Use tools to solve problems • Collaborate with other AIs These aren't just chatbots. They're digital employees. And now the terrifying part:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
"The world has a shortage of labor. We have a shortage of workers by 2030 by about 30 to 50 million." Jensen sees these AI agents as the solution – digital workers that will fill labor gaps. "100% of NVIDIA software engineers now have digital agents working with them." But this creates a new problem:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
As these AI agents take over more jobs, IT departments won't just manage humans. They'll manage armies of digital workers. Jensen predicts IT becoming "the HR of digital workers" – evaluating, improving, and managing AI agents that work inside companies. But there's an even bigger revolution happening:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Jensen showed off humanoid robots trained entirely in simulation using AI. The robots learned physical tasks just by watching humans demonstrate them once. Then AI amplified that data to create thousands of variations so the robots could generalize their skills. This technology is already being deployed:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Taiwan's manufacturing giants like TSMC, Foxconn, and Delta are creating complete digital twins of their factories using NVIDIA Omniverse. These digital twins serve as "robot gyms" where AI-powered robots learn to work before ever touching the real world. The stakes? Enormous.
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Jensen revealed that $5 trillion of new manufacturing plants are being planned globally over the next three years. All of them will be designed with AI and robots from the start. This isn't science fiction – it's happening right now. But the most stunning announcement was saved for last:
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Jensen unveiled "Nvidia Constellation" – a massive new headquarters being built in Taipei. This signals NVIDIA's commitment to Taiwan as the epicenter of the AI revolution. Why does this matter to you?
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
This isn't just about technology. It's about investment. For 7-figure investors, understanding this shift is critical to generating income now and building legacy wealth. The companies building AI infrastructure will create more wealth than we've seen in generations. But most stocks won't benefit.
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
Remember: 97% of stocks are junk. Only 3% create real wealth. The AI revolution won't lift all boats – just the ones with the right technology and positioning. My research shows the biggest winners will be those controlling the physical infrastructure of AI.
@jdmarkman - Jon Markman 🛸
The scale of what's happening is unprecedented. Jensen showed XAI's "Colossus" factory: 4 million square feet, one gigawatt of power, and $60-80 billion in investment. The computing systems alone cost $40-50 billion. These are the new factories of our era.

BREAKING: President Trump just imposed 100% tariffs on chip imports. Taiwan is in crisis mode. TSMC executives are holding emergency sessions. Government officials are scrambling for solutions. Here's why this matters—and why it's working: A Thread🧵
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
The timeline tells the story. Monday: Tariff announcement. Tuesday: Apple CEO rushes to White House. Wednesday: $100 billion commitment announced. Trump had been setting this up for months...
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Taiwan produces 60% of global semiconductors. 90% of advanced chips. Every iPhone. Every Tesla. Every AI server depends on Taiwan. One announcement just put the entire supply chain at risk.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Here's where it gets interesting. Trump didn't impose a blanket ban. He offered companies a choice: "Build in America, pay nothing." TSMC had already committed $65 billion to Arizona factories. Nvidia had announced $500 billion in US infrastructure. Trump waited until they were invested. Then he moved.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Within 48 hours, the commitments poured in. Apple: Additional $100 billion US investment. TSMC: Expanded to $165 billion total. GlobalFoundries: $16 billion for New York facilities. $600 billion shifted toward America in three days.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Treasury Secretary Bessent revealed what was really happening: "75+ countries are in our trade queue with offers." This wasn't about semiconductors. It was about reshaping global trade relationships.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
The policy was simple: Physical US manufacturing = no tariffs. Foreign production = 100% tariff. No exceptions. No workarounds. Companies had two options: relocate or pay double.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Tech stocks swung $800+ billion in market value. Companies faced the calculation: Build US factories once, or pay 100% tariffs forever. Most chose to build. But there was more to Trump's plan...
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
China controls 95% of gallium and germanium—materials critical for advanced semiconductors. By forcing production to America, Trump was breaking decades of technological dependence. The next crisis won't find US companies scrambling for foreign supply chains.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Taiwan's government called emergency sessions. Premier Cho Jung-tai announced "immediate cooperative plans" with the US. National Development Council confirmed: TSMC gets exempted because of their Arizona factories. Other companies are still racing to prove their American credentials.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
The final calculation: One policy announcement. 75 countries responding. $600 billion relocating to America. This is how you reshape global supply chains without firing a shot.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Why this matters: These aren't just semiconductors, they're the foundation of AI supremacy. While China dominates basic manufacturing, America is securing control of the technology that powers artificial intelligence.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
The result: Millions of high-skilled American jobs building the chips that run tomorrow's AI systems. When the AI revolution accelerates, America controls the hardware.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
America controlling the hardware is just the beginning. The next AI winners won't just have advanced chips—they'll prove their systems are trustworthy. Transparency exempted companies from tariffs. Now it's essential for AI deployment.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
Forward-thinking enterprises are discovering that AI model validation and governance aren't just compliance requirements—they're competitive advantages. The companies winning today? Those building trust through transparent, validated AI systems.
@karlmehta - Karl Mehta
The companies winning in AI aren't just deploying faster. They're deploying with transparency. With validation. With governance frameworks that build stakeholder trust. If you're interested in deploying AI the right way, you can visit TrustModel AI: http://TrustModel.ai

Technological dominance is one of the pillars of US hegemony. If China and Russia want to dethrone the American Empire, then they need to join forces on AI. 🧵Here’s how they can drive a global AI revolution, leveraging their complementary strengths https://t.co/tNlMOTp7if
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
Global investments in AI surged from $8B in 2014 to $110B in 2024. China leads in quantum tech with $15.3B in 2023, while 5 Chinese firms rank among the top 50 globally for research and development (R&D). https://t.co/cVZMF590Zq
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
For Russia, China’s technological rise is an opportunity not a threat. Unlike the US, China isn’t interested in subverting Russian national security or interfering in Russian domestic politics. Unlike the West, China offers Russia win-win technological cooperation https://t.co/dterKtIEMl
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
China is a top destination for Russian energy and other commodities. Russia can benefit from Chinese tech to optimize its resource extraction and processing. This means lower costs for Russia, lower prices for China, and more money for everyone https://t.co/TYCRyfQWsz
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
China has a large user base, large market, and a wide range of application scenarios. Russia’s is rich in natural resources and has strong fundamental STEM expertise. Imagine what China and Russia can achieve if they join forces. https://t.co/iHTmjDvJGq
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
The global tech landscape is moving toward multipolarity. BRICS and ASEAN foster independent innovation, with over 15,000 co-authored papers yearly from BRICS nations. https://t.co/ipoz0Nx81i
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
China's "Made in China 2025" reduces reliance on Western tech, leading in railways, energy, and 5G. Russia can leverage this to advance its industrial capabilities. https://t.co/4rLoLPDSIA
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
Facing 15,628 sanctions, Russia boosts autonomy in chips and software. Together, China and Russia can challenge tech hegemony and promote fair global governance. https://t.co/rJBj8pPKEx
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
To realize this potential in practice, China and Russia can initiate an "Alliance of Scientific and Technological Industries for Emerging Countries" for joint R&D in AI chips, operating systems, drones, and new energy, fostering independent innovation in developing nations. https://t.co/p1laMld0nz
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
They should collaborate to formulate a de-Americanized system of technical standards in AI ethics and intelligent manufacturing, building an open, fair global normative order and enhancing the Global South's influence in key technologies. https://t.co/soY68D3qdY

China and Russia should establish a joint platform for think tank dialogue on intelligent technologies to shape a non-Western system of scientific and technological thought, focusing on AI algorithms, quantum computing, and neurotechnologies, with joint labs and youth exchanges. https://t.co/Pu6ayiq0iu
@NewRulesGeo - NewRulesGeopolitics
Chinese and Russian universities and research institutes should create a joint mechanism for talent training in theoretical and practical fields, supporting scientist exchanges, and expanding influence through BRICS, SCO, and Belt and Road initiatives for inclusive tech cooperation.

Trump's tech dinner wasn't networking. It was a $1+ trillion auction where billionaires bought American policy. All while 5 Indian CEOs sat at the table as their homeland faces 50% tariffs. The most expensive meal in political history just redrew global power lines 🧵
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Over 30 tech titans crammed into the White House State Dining Room. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook all pledging loyalty. Apple: $600 billion. Google: $250 billion. Microsoft: $80 billion annually. Elon Musk didn't show. The world's richest man snubbed Trump.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Zuckerberg called it "inspiring." Gates praised Trump's vision. The same billionaires who once criticized him now kiss the ring for favorable policies. Meta's CEO went from Trump ban to Trump fan. What changed? Power did.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Five Indian-origin CEOs attended: - Satya Nadella (Microsoft) - Sundar Pichai (Google) - Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron) - Vivek Ranadivé (TIBCO) - Shyam Sankar (Palantir). Combined net worth: $50+ billion. Their homeland's response? Trending while facing economic warfare.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Trump announced 50% tariffs on Indian imports just days before this dinner. $200 billion in bilateral trade at risk. Then he invites India's top business leaders to wine and dine. Message received: Your loyalty belongs to America now, not your birthplace.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Musk's absence screams volumes. Gates shows up. Zuckerberg shows up. Cook shows up. But Tesla's CEO sends a representative while competitors pledge hundreds of billions. Speculation: Falling out over space contracts? Regulatory battles? Or is Musk building his own political machine?
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
This isn't capitalism - it's oligarchy with appetizers. Gates and Zuckerberg pledging billion-dollar investments behind closed doors while Congress debates budgets. American democracy just got outsourced to Silicon Valley's highest bidders.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
The timing is surgical. China's tech dominance threatens American supremacy. Solution? Lock in loyalty through massive domestic investments. Gates' foundation influence, Zuckerberg's AI push, Cook's manufacturing - all now tied to American interests.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
Here's the kicker: Every major AI breakthrough, cloud platform, and semiconductor advance just got tied to American soil. - OpenAI's $100B Stargate project. - Microsoft's data center empire. - Meta's AI infrastructure. China's worst nightmare materialized over steak and lobster.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
But regular people pay the price. AI automation will displace millions while Gates, Zuckerberg, and Cook profit. Indian consumers face higher gadget prices from tariffs. American workers compete with immigrants these very companies import. The elite feast while others starve.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
The $600+ billion in pledges isn't investment - it's insurance. Insurance against antitrust breakups. Against regulatory oversight. Gates buying influence, Zuckerberg buying protection, Cook buying market access. These billionaires just bought themselves a government protection racket.
@shawnchauhan1 - Shawn Chauhan
While everyone celebrates "job creation" and "innovation," democracy just got sold to the highest bidders. Gates, Zuckerberg, and 28 other billionaires shaped policy without a single vote cast. Five Indian CEOs chose American interests over Indian ones. This is oligarchy, not governance.
