Turns out the dead internet theory is starting to look less like a conspiracy... According to Cloudflare, bots are now responsible for around 57% of HTML traffic on the web. Humans are down to 43%. Across all HTTP requests, humans are still ahead with 66%, but the direction is obvious. The web is no longer mainly a place where people visit websites. It is becoming a machine layer where crawlers, scrapers, scripts and AI agents collect, rank, rewrite and distribute information before most humans ever see it. That should worry everyone, especially in Web3. Once bots dominate the information layer, wealthy actors, exchanges, funds, corporations and political groups do not need to convince people directly anymore. They only need to influence what the machines see, repeat, rank and amplify. With enough money, accounts, APIs, fake engagement, paid narratives and automated distribution, truth becomes easier to bury and opinion becomes easier to manufacture. And this space is already full of people who will sell a narrative for a bag.

🛡️ Instagram Fixes Password Reset Flaw That Exposes User Emails & Phone Numbers Source: cybersecuritynews.com/instagram-pass… A critical logic bug in Instagram’s web-based password reset flow on June 6, 2026, exposed unredacted email addresses and phone numbers associated with user accounts, including those belonging to high-profile individuals such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and model Georgina Rodriguez. Instagram’s parent company Meta deployed an emergency hotfix within hours of the disclosure, but not before proof-of-concept screenshots circulated widely on social media, demonstrating the scope of the vulnerability. #cybersecuritynews

Cops are monitoring people critical of data centers. The FBI is monitoring people critical of data centers. Congress is monitoring people critical of data centers. I'm starting to think they really don't want us to be asking what all these data centers are actually for.

BREAKING: The Japanese Yen just hit 160 against the dollar again, the same level Japan spent $73 billion trying to defend earlier this year. It did not work and The yen is back at 160. A weak yen is a direct inflation crisis for Japan. The country imports nearly all of its energy. At $93 oil, every further drop in the yen makes that import bill more expensive. The BOJ meets June 15-16 and is expected to hike rates from 0.75% to 1.0%. A rate hike in Japan matters far beyond Japan. The entire world has been borrowing cheaply in yen for years to fund investments in US stocks, crypto, and AI. When Japanese rates rise, that trade unwinds. Investors sell their positions and convert back to yen. The day after, June 16-17, Kevin Warsh chairs his very first Fed meeting. He is inheriting 3.8% inflation, $93 oil, and a jobs market running twice as hot as expected. Markets are now fully pricing in a rate hike by year end. If both the BOJ and Fed signal tightening in the same week, the liquidity that has been holding this market up faces its most serious test of 2026.

One of man's deepest desires is not to be a burden on anyone and to earn his way. Burdening others brings him shame. He aspires to self-sufficiency so he can be one that gives rather than takes. He does not pursue independence out of vanity, he covets self-reliance out of honour.

Trump's latest ill-advised idea is for the US Gov't to buy interests​ in AI businesses. THIS IS NOT A NEW IDEA. IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO: SEE ITEM 7, PAGE 30.

The age verification company 'Yoti', used by companies like Sony, Meta and Instagram, is allegedly flagging GrapheneOS users as suspicious, and reporting them to authorities: "[...] Yoti automatically flags [...] any devices running GrapheneOS. These instances are automatically reported both to the authorities and our security team." However, this doesn't seem very likely, here the reaction from GrapheneOS: "It's unlikely the company has done anything to specifically detect GrapheneOS or ban using it. It's far more likely they detect not using a Google Mobile Services operating system without modifications. This customer support person went on a power trip to scare someone and get the ticket closed." What do you think?

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Reality Check: Claims of Israeli Spying on the US 1. If true, it would not be reported - real counter-intelligence is infinitely more effective if the targeted nation is unaware they've been caught spying; 2. Because Israel is a nominal US "ally" (it is a proxy) the desire to keep this quiet would also be high; 3. Meaning this is more theater for manipulating public perception as part of published policy papers planning to use & blame Israel during the US war on Iran; 4. This does not mean Israel is "innocent" - it means Israel is an expendable extension of US foreign policy as guilty & involved in US crimes against humanity as the US itself. Do not allow this political theater, together with cognitive infiltrators like Joe Kent, allow the US to shift blame away to its Israeli extremity like a lizard dropping its tail to distract a predator - only to grow it back after escaping. If people want the injustices associated with Israel to end, they need to solve it at its source - the United States.

Gold just got abandoned at the exact moment it matters most. In 12 days, June 17, Kevin Warsh chairs his first meeting as Fed chair. Futures price ~99% odds of nothing. I think it is the most important macro event of the year. Here is the case. Thread🧵👇

To everyone dumping gold right now: You are selling on one rule. Real rates up, gold down. It worked for a decade. Then it broke. Real yields at 2.2%, a fifteen year high. The model says gold near 1,000. It trades at 4,480. Because rising real rates on a sovereign that cannot pay its own interest bill is not bearish gold. It is the most bullish setup gold has. Default, or print to cap yields. Both bullish. There is no third door. The thing scaring you out is the thing setting up the next leg. The selloff is the buy signal. Full thesis, and why June 17 is the tell:

THE 9 LAWS OF HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY YOU MUST KNOW 1. Reciprocity — When you give something to someone, they feel a natural urge to give back. 2. Social Proof — People look at what others are doing before deciding what they should do. 3. Scarcity — The moment something becomes rare or limited, its perceived value rises instantly. 4. Anchoring — The first number or idea introduced shapes every judgment that follows it. 5. Loss Aversion — Losing something hurts twice as much as gaining the same thing feels good. 6. Familiarity Effect — The more we see or hear something, the more we trust and like it. 7. Commitment Bias — Once people say yes to something, they feel pressure to stay consistent with it. 8. The Halo Effect — A single positive trait makes people assume everything else about you is good too. 9. Contrast Principle — Things look better or worse depending entirely on what they are compared against.

The Energy War and the Containment of China: Can the Empire Succeed? Credit Billy Bob. We begin with a premise that should no longer be controversial: the United States is deliberately engineering a global energy monopoly. Through the blockade of Iran, the destruction of Nord Stream, the sanctions regime against Russia, the procurement of vast energy resources in Libya and the Mediterranean, the brazen piracy against rival shipping, the theft of Venezuelan oil, and the military domination of key shipping chokepoints, Washington is systematically destroying the export capacity of rivals and bringing global energy supply under its direct or indirect control. The objective is not merely profit for US energy corporations, though record profits are a welcome byproduct. The objective is hegemony. Control over price, access, and transit routes is to be weaponized to discipline rivals and, above all, to isolate and contain the People’s Republic of China. If we accept this as true—and the evidence leaves little room for doubt—the critical question becomes: Can this strategy succeed? On this, there are broadly two camps. The First View: Catastrophic Failure The first perspective holds that the plan is already in ruins. The US has blundered into a series of no-win confrontations, depleting its munitions in peripheral theaters while China rises untouched. Iranian and Russian forces have not collapsed as anticipated; the "pivot to Asia" remains a logistical fantasy. Trump’s particular brand of ignorance, combined with the duplicity of his regional allies, has supposedly caught the empire in a trap that wiser predecessors avoided. From this vantage point, the US is flailing, alienating the Global South, and only accelerating the world’s turn toward Chinese green energy and multipolar institutions. The plan, they conclude, has failed upon first contact with reality. There is much to commend this view, and it satisfies a certain revolutionary optimism. But it risks underestimating the enemy. The Second View: The Plan Is Advancing A more sober assessment gives the Western planners their due. The transnational capitalist class is not stupid. It understands that wars are messy, that contradictions abound, and that tactical setbacks are the price of strategic repositioning. The macro picture is what matters. And on the macro level, Europe and Asia are more dependent on US-controlled energy than they were five years ago. US energy companies have captured market share that was previously held by Russia and Iran. The transatlantic alliance, however frayed, has been reforged around a common anti-China purpose. The plan, from this perspective, is not about immediate victory but about the patient assembly of a coercive apparatus. The energy monopoly is the lever; the decoupling from Chinese supply chains is the goal. Whether this lever will ultimately be sufficient to force nations to choose between Washington and Beijing is an open question. But the lever is real, and it is growing heavier. The Crux: Can Energy Monopoly Isolate China? This is where dialectics becomes essential. Those who dismiss the plan outright as impossible fail to account for the nature of class power on a global scale. The transnational capitalist class—the oligarchy headquartered in the United States but with tentacles in every major economy—is united by a single, overriding class interest: the containment of China and the prevention of a transition beyond the predatory stage of monopoly capitalism. Since 1945, and with renewed urgency since 1991, this class has demonstrated a willingness to sacrifice whatever is necessary—including entire national economies, democratic forms, and human lives on a mass scale—to preserve its hegemony. The question, then, is not whether the oligarchy desires to use its energy weapon to coerce the rest of the planet. It does, and it will. The question is whether the target nations can be forced into compliance.

Indonesia = MASSIVE fuel subsidies of ALMOST $17B/yr. FUEL SUBSIDIES = A BIG DRAIN ON IDN'S BUDGET. When I was Suharto's advisor in 1998, I recommended the ELIMINATION OF FUEL SUBSIDIES. SUHARTO AGREED. BUT SUBSIDIES WERE NEVER REMOVED & REMAIN A BURDEN ON THE BUDGET & RUPIAH.

Purpose-Based vs Profit-Based: China’s Society-First Model Exposes America’s Decline Thread 1/2 In China, they build a purpose-based system — society first. Stability, long-term strength, and lifting the collective come before any single quarter’s profit. The US runs a pure profit-based machine, rotten with financialization and elite capture. Shareholders, insurance giants, defense contractors, and billionaire donors dictate everything. This obsession with profit over purpose is hollowing out America while China surges ahead. The difference shows clearly in healthcare, education, defense, governance, and the inflated GDP numbers. Healthcare: Purpose-Driven Care vs Profit-Based Predation China’s purpose-based healthcare prioritizes universal access and prevention at massive scale. Public hospitals, community clinics, and domestic manufacturing of medicines and equipment keep costs low. Life expectancy rises steadily and infrastructure expands to serve the people’s real needs. The goal is societal health and resilience, not extraction. America’s profit-based healthcare is a predatory scam consuming nearly 18% of GDP while producing worse outcomes than China on life expectancy and infant mortality. Pharma monopolies, insurance giants, and hospital chains bleed patients with insane pricing and bureaucratic waste. Simple treatments cost many times more here. All this spending simply inflates US GDP figures — counting rent-seeking and corruption as “growth.” A failing system that bankrupts citizens for shareholder returns. x.com/angeloinchina/… Education: Purpose-Driven Human Capital vs Profit-Based Debt Traps In China, education is purpose-based: students master math, science, and engineering to build national strength. China produces far more STEM graduates, fueling infrastructure, technology, manufacturing dominance, and long-term rejuvenation. It is a serious, subsidized investment in the country’s future. The US profit-based model saddles youth with crushing debt, K-12 inequality by zip code, for-profit colleges, and administrative bloat. It pads GDP statistics but fails to create broad industrial capability. America imports talent, watches its foundations erode, and talks endlessly about innovation. China pulls decisively ahead in patents and real productive power. x.com/angeloinchina/… Defense: Purpose-Based Security vs Profit-Based Forever-War Grift China modernizes its military with a clear purpose-based focus: defend sovereignty, secure supply lines, deter interference, and support peaceful development. Practical investments in hypersonics, naval growth, and integrated capabilities serve national stability without wasteful profit motives. The US operates a profit-based global empire of bases and endless conflicts. Defense contractors exploit cost-plus contracts, turning security into a limitless cash machine that inflates GDP but causes strategic overstretch and declining industrial muscle. America counts paper “growth” while China builds tangible defensive strength. x.com/angeloinchina/… Leadership & Governance: Purpose-Driven Meritocracy vs Profit-Driven Election Circus America is crippled by its profit-based political system — endless election cycles of showmanship, donor cash, and media drama every two or four years. Short-term optics and special interests block real solutions. The leadership class overflows with lawyers, bankers, millionaires, and billionaires skilled in self-dealing rather than nation-building. China operates a purpose-based meritocracy. Leaders rise through decades of proven results at local and provincial levels. Long-term planning dominates — multi-decade strategies executed steadily. Top officials are mostly engineers and STEM professionals who understand systems, infrastructure, and scaling. This delivers genuine direction and discipline for the people. x.com/angeloinchina/…

Indonesia > in color revolution strategies, martyrs—protesters killed by security forces—act as pivotal symbols. Their deaths are amplified into narratives of state brutality, unifying opposition, evoking widespread sympathy, eroding regime legitimacy, and attracting media plus external support. This turns localized grievances into sustained mobilization, a pattern seen across various protest movements. Medias like BBC are just globalist/pro US media in charge of amplification.

“Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth.” — Niccolo Machiavelli

This is insane. A student’s 30-page senior thesis was apparently flagged as “AI-generated” by an automated plagiarism tool. He’s facing an automatic failing grade, academic suspension, and potentially losing a $45,000 scholarship. He even offered to show his Google Docs version history to prove the paper was written manually.

The more powerful you are, the less you lie. When people are genuinely powerful, they no longer need to convince others of their value because they are the authors of reality in their domain.
