New Patreon Talk About AI Bubble and Its Eventual Bursting

Won­der­ing about the eco­nom­ics of AI? Dav­e’s lat­est Patre­on talk high­lights the prob­a­bil­i­ty that the inces­tu­ous rela­tion­ship between NVIDIA and “The Mag­nif­i­cent Sev­en” will implode. As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu. There is no bet­ter way of ful­fill­ing that oblig­a­tion than by obtain­ing the lat­est flash dri­ve, con­tain­ing all of Dav­e’s 45+ years on the air and a library of old anti-fas­cist books. WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE.


Terrifying Manifestations of AI’s

A Patre­on talk by Dave details some ter­ri­fy­ing aspects of the so-called “AI Rev­o­lu­tion.” As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu.

FTR#1383 The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 3

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing analy­sis of the ide­ol­o­gy of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther and a major ide­o­log­i­cal influ­ence on him and, appar­ent­ly, “Team Trump.”

An ide­o­log­i­cal fas­cist and anti-Semi­te, Halde­man decamped to South Africa and became a minor lumi­nary in the Apartheid gov­ern­ment, a direct off­shoot of the Ger­man Nazi Par­ty under Hitler.

Halde­man also became obsessed with find­ing an alleged lost city in the Kala­hari Desert that he felt beto­kened a “white civ­i­liza­tion” in South­ern Africa.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Halde­man’s mem­ber­ship in the tech­no­fas­cist Tech­noc­ra­cy move­ment, sim­i­lar in many ways to the ide­olo­gies of Cur­tis Yarvin and Ben­i­to Mus­soli­ni; His mem­ber­ship in anoth­er neo-fas­cist polit­i­cal par­ty, the “Socre­ds;” Halde­man’s praise in an arti­cle in Die Trans­valer, a paper edit­ed by Hen­rik Voer­ster, a Broeder­bond mem­ber whose paper laud­ed the Third Reich; Halde­man’s shift­ing of blame for the Sharpsville mas­sacre to the “Inter­na­tion­al Financiers;” Halde­man’s book tar­get­ing manda­to­ry vac­cines and flu­o­ri­da­tion of the water as part of a vast “Inter­na­tion­al Con­spir­a­cy” against health; The sim­i­lar­i­ties between Halde­man’s ide­ol­o­gy and that of Brain­worm Bob­by (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.); Halde­man’s rec­om­mend­ed read­ing, which includes books by G.K. Chester­ton, the head of the Union of British Fas­cists, found­ed by Oswald Mose­ley, whose grand­son Louis heads up the UK branch of Apartheid cham­pi­on Peter Thiel’s Palan­tir firm.


FTR#1382 The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: This pro­gram con­tin­ues a series on the career and appar­ent influ­ence of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther.

We begin by not­ing the sur­re­al pol­i­tics of Anna Pauli­na Luna, pre­sid­ing over the “inquiry” into var­i­ous con­spir­a­to­r­i­al process­es. Ms. Luna: ” . . . . media to name the groups they claim are behind the protests that led to the vio­lence, and the mon­ey that backs them. They describe a web of con­nec­tions between the immi­grant rights and left­ist activists on the streets of LA with . . . the Chi­nese Com­mu­nist Par­ty. . . .”

Elon Musk has opined that the pyra­mids of Egypt were built by aliens, some­thing that will look famil­iar to view­ers of Trump’s stream­ing media plat­form. Like so much of Trump’s busi­ness empire, it has a famil­iar look: ” . . . . After win­ning the 2024 elec­tion, Trump placed his stake in the com­pa­ny into a revo­ca­ble trust sole­ly man­aged by his son, Don­ald Trump Jr., who is also on the company’s board. The pres­i­dent isn’t the only offi­cial who has been in a posi­tion to cash in on the com­pa­ny. Oth­er mem­bers of the Trump admin­is­tra­tion have also held shares or served on TMTG’s board. TMTG’s CEO and chair­man is Devin Nunes, who is a for­mer Repub­li­can con­gress­man and the cur­rent chair of the President’s Intel­li­gence Advi­so­ry board. . . .”

Much of the pro­gram focus­es on Trump’s TMTG stream­ing fare. The plat­form is pre­sent­ing “Alien Lizard Con­spir­a­cy” films, pre­sent­ed as doc­u­men­taries. ” . . . . Less than two min­utes into the movie, the nar­ra­tor makes a shock­ing claim. ‘The evi­dence we are about to present to you has the poten­tial to rewrite thou­sands of years of human his­to­ry. It will present evi­dence that sug­gests ancient ser­pent or lizard-like aliens came to earth thou­sands of years ago,’ the nar­ra­tor says. ‘We’ll also present evi­dence that these ancient aliens are still among us today.’ . . .” 

Fur­ther­more” ” . . . . Jesus Christ and Bud­dha are aliens. . . .”

As will be seen Elon Musk’s influ­en­tial grand­fa­ther Joshua Halde­man’s polit­i­cal resume con­tains many items that appear to antic­i­pate much of what the Trump/Musk admin­is­tra­tion is pre­sent­ing.

This will be parsed in greater detail and at greater length in upcom­ing install­ments in the series.


FTR#1381: The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 1

Intro­duc­tion: This pro­gram begins a series on the career and appar­ent influ­ence of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther.

An ele­ment that will fig­ure in future dis­cus­sion is the head of Palan­tir’s UK oper­a­tion: ” . . . . Palantir’s Mosley hap­pens to be the grand­son of Sir Oswald Mosley, the World War II-era Nazi sym­pa­thiz­er who led the British Union of Fas­cists. . . .”

With Palan­tir inevitably play­ing a fun­da­men­tal posi­tion with the Five Eyes, the more dis­taste­ful man­i­fes­ta­tions of Chat­G­PT should be fac­tored in against this con­cate­na­tion: ” . . . . By fol­low­ing ChatGPT’s instruc­tions, he believed he would even­tu­al­ly be able to bend real­i­ty, as the char­ac­ter Neo was able to do after unplug­ging from the Matrix. ‘If I went to the top of the 19 sto­ry build­ing I’m in, and I believed with every ounce of my soul that I could jump off it and fly, would I?’ Mr. Tor­res asked. Chat­G­PT respond­ed that, if Mr. Tor­res ‘tru­ly, whol­ly believed — not emo­tion­al­ly, but archi­tec­tural­ly — that you could fly? Then yes. You would not fall.”. . .”

Elon Musk has opined that the pyra­mids of Egypt were built by aliens, some­thing that will look famil­iar to view­ers of Trump’s stream­ing media plat­form. Like so much of Trump’s busi­ness empire, it has a famil­iar look: ” . . . . After win­ning the 2024 elec­tion, Trump placed his stake in the com­pa­ny into a revo­ca­ble trust sole­ly man­aged by his son, Don­ald Trump Jr., who is also on the company’s board. The pres­i­dent isn’t the only offi­cial who has been in a posi­tion to cash in on the com­pa­ny. Oth­er mem­bers of the Trump admin­is­tra­tion have also held shares or served on TMTG’s board. TMTG’s CEO and chair­man is Devin Nunes, who is a for­mer Repub­li­can con­gress­man and the cur­rent chair of the President’s Intel­li­gence Advi­so­ry board. . . .”

These dynam­ics will be devel­oped dur­ing this series.

JFK and the Unspeak­able: Why He Died and Why It Mat­ters by James W. Dou­glass; Touch­stone Books [SC]; Copy­right 2008 by James W. Dou­glas; ISBN 978–1‑4391–9388‑4; p. 301.

 . . . . On his new assign­ment, Vin­son would soon learn that the CIA’s projects out of Site 51 includ­ed exper­i­men­tal air­craft shaped like saucers. The same was true at the CIA’s oth­er base at Roswell, New Mex­i­co, where the C‑54 car­ry­ing the sec­ond Oswald had land­ed. Both Site 51 and Roswell were home to “fly­ing saucers” that peo­ple saw peri­od­i­cal­ly in the area. They in fact came not from out­er space but from the CIA, which encour­aged the fly­ing saucer reports


FTR#1376 Team Trump Takes the Field, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion of the spec­tac­u­lar first months of the Trump regime, we begin with the exo­dus of a Yale pro­fes­sor who wrote a 2018 book about fas­cism. He feels the U.S. may be head­ed for a fas­cist dic­ta­tor­ship. A crit­i­cal piece of analy­sis con­cerns the grow­ing ease with which bioter­ror­ism can be per­pe­trat­ed. Plac­ing the onus on Rus­sia, Chi­na, North Korea or “ter­ror­ists” the author dis­re­gards the fun­da­men­tals of the emer­gent syn­thet­ic biol­o­gy.

The omi­nous warn­ing from the doc­tor about the grow­ing threat of bioter­ror­ism should be seen against the back­ground of RFK, jr.‘s stew­ard­ship at HHS. He has been cut­ting staff with the result that the abil­i­ty of the U.S. to ade­quate­ly deal with a pan­dem­ic is dra­mat­i­cal­ly reduced.

The bal­ance of the broad­cast con­sists of dis­cus­sion of the Trump/Musk regime as a coup d’e­tat. Inter­est­ing­ly, none of those who wrote about the fact that a coup is under­way have rec­og­nized that on 11/22/1963, the U.S. had a fas­cist coup. What we are see­ing now is the result of that deeply trag­ic neglect.
