Awesome.
American glass. American metal. American silicon. American batteries. American workers. American everything. BlueChip is the first American computer in decades. Don't let anyone lie to you and say it can't be done. Designed in California. Built in America.

Jealousy makes you nasty, and none more so than socialist scum whose entire worldview is based upon hating the people who provide for them.
Since Trump’s election: -Musk got $680 billion richer -Musk became the 1st trillionaire -SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts -Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress. Gee, I wonder why?

Agreed. Covid was the tipping point for a lot of people. Me first. You know the story of the frog in the pot. Turn up the heat slowly and it never jumps. It just cooks. Since the 70s, the West was that frog. The water was warm, 35, 40 degrees. Uncomfortable but bearable. Most people didn't notice. Most people didn't want to notice. Then came the hubris. The globalist class, WEF, Davos, Gates, Soros, that whole borderless elite that sees humanity as a system to be managed rather than people to be free, got impatient. Lockdowns. Curfews. Health passes. Papers to leave your home. Papers to drink a coffee. In a few months they took the water from 40 to 80. And the frog jumped out. That was their fatal mistake. Had they kept turning the dial slowly, they might have won. Instead they woke up hundreds of millions of people at once. People who now see the pot, the stove, and the hand on the dial. You don't put that frog back in. So now it's a fight to the death for what the West is. When I say Elon is in that fight, I mean it. And he's not alone. Millions of us are ready to give everything, our lives included, for Western civilization. I'm one of them. And here's the thing: they've already lost. Not because we're stronger today, but because history doesn't run backward. Free people who have seen the cage never forget it. The frog is out of the pot. And it remembers.

I’ll take “Things the federal government subsidizes for affordability for $1000.”
If you've ever wondered why smart TVs are so cheap, this is why. @log4j rooted his Samsung and found an always-on hot mic, automatic content recognition, geolocation, network mapping, ad targeting and user profiling, shared with Samsung's "400 partners". A lot of it can be blocked in <15 min, wrote a basic guide below. What your TV is doing The main culprit is ACR (automatic content recognition). Your TV screenshots what's on screen, fingerprints it, and sends it home to build your ad profile. Samsung does it every 500ms, LG every 10ms [1]. What is insane: it happens on connected devices too. Plug in your laptop, your console, your work machine, and your TV can fingerprint that via HDMI [1]. He also found that if your Samsung doesn't have a mic, it'll look for one from a connected soundbar or bluetooth device. xitter.cf/log4j/status/211376224… It's on by default, and you likely agreed to it on the setup screen you clicked through in 10 seconds. Step 1: Turn off ACR Samsung: Terms & Privacy → Viewing Information Services LG: Live Plus Vizio: Viewing Data Roku: "Use info from TV inputs" Sony/Google TV: Samba Interactive TV Menus vary by model, but those are the names to look for. While you're in there, opt out of interest-based ads, reset your advertising ID, decline every optional privacy agreement, turn off voice recognition, and delete apps you never open. Step 2: Give smart devices their own network Put the TV, cameras, speakers and vacuum on your router's guest/IoT network. The logic is simple: these devices rarely get patched. If one gets compromised (getting drastically more frequent with AI), it shouldn't be able to see your other devices or home network. Step 3: Block trackers for the whole house with DNS-level filtering NextDNS (cloud-based) is easy and has a solid free plan. Pi-hole is a little bit more work if you prefer self hosting. For simplicity we'll focus on the former. 1. Sign up at nextdns.io (free tier is plenty) 2. Privacy tab: add a blocklist (OISD is a good bet) and turn on Native Tracking Protection for Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon (see attached image) 3. Setup tab: copy your endpoint 4. Paste it into your router's DNS settings as DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS (or use the IPs + "Link IP" if your router only does plain DNS) 5. Bonus: block outbound port 53 except to your router. Some devices hardcode their own DNS to get around you Then open the NextDNS logs and watch how often your TV phones home. It's eye-opening. If an app or update breaks, find the domain in the logs and allowlist it. Why they do this TV prices are down 97% since 2000 [2]. Most of that is better manufacturing and brutal competition. But once margins on the hardware hit zero, the cost moved to you. In Q3 2024, Vizio lost $6.7M selling TVs and made $115.8M in gross profit from ads and viewing data [3]. They've said on earnings calls that they keep TV prices low to grow the audience they sell to advertisers. Walmart bought them in 2024. This isn't a conspiracy theory either. Vizio paid $2.2M to the FTC in 2017 for tracking 11 million TVs without consent. Last December, Texas sued Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense and TCL over ACR. Samsung and LG have since agreed to stop collecting that data without explicit consent [4]. TL;DR 1. ACR off 2. Ads + voice off 3. Smart devices on their own network 4. NextDNS filtering on the router Sources: [1] ACR study: arxiv.org/abs/2409.06203 [2] Cost of US consumer goods: aei.org/economics/chart-of-t… [3] Vizio Q3 2024: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/… [4] Texas v.

How 1913 would become the worst year in American history, so far…
The greatest heist in world history... Seven men boarded a private railroad car in New Jersey on the night of November 22, 1910, under fake names, and by the time they reached Jekyll Island, Georgia, they had begun drafting the legislation that would hand control of American money to the banks that needed controlling. Nelson Aldrich organized the trip. He was a Rhode Island senator, the father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller Jr., and the chairman of the National Monetary Commission. He brought Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, Frank Vanderlip of National City Bank, Henry Davison of J.P. Morgan and Company, and a handful of other men whose combined institutions held one-quarter of the world's investable wealth. They told no one. They used first names only on the island. The servants who staffed the Jekyll Island Club were replaced before arrival. The cover story, once the trip leaked years later, was that these men gathered to reform a broken banking system for the public good. How generous of them. They built a cartel with a government badge. The Federal Reserve would act as a lender of last resort, meaning your tax dollars and your inflated purchasing power would backstop the riskiest decisions made by the largest banks. Smaller banks, those that competed with Morgan and Rockefeller institutions, would face reserve requirements Washington enforced on their behalf. Credit expansion, which produces the boom-bust cycle you live through every decade, would now operate through a centralized mechanism immune from market discipline. Warburg, who had spent years lobbying for a European-style central bank in America, drafted the core structure. Aldrich carried it to Congress. Congress passed it as the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913, after many members had already left Washington for Christmas recess. The scheme operated through rhetorical genius. They named it a reserve system, implying caution. They called it federal, implying public ownership. A private banking cartel now possessed the legal authority to manufacture money. You have been paying the interest on that arrangement ever since.

You don't understand anything happening in the US right now unless you read Elon Musk all the way through. When he says that by 2036 money won't matter anymore, most people hear a billionaire's provocation. I hear something else. Money is the fuel of every corruption system. Earmarked subsidies, public contracts negotiated behind closed doors, lobbies, front NGOs, regulatory rents. The day AI and robots produce more than humanity can consume, that lever disappears. And everyone who lives off that lever disappears with it. There are a lot of them. And they've understood perfectly. That's why we're now reading that Musk is preparing for "war" if Democrats take back Congress. He's not the one declaring war. It's an entire system that knows it's fighting for its survival. Because we're at a turning point in human history. And there are only two ways out. Either the Democrats win, and we enter 1984. A hyper-class that controls the AI models, the robot fleets, the data, the currency, and owns 99% of everything. Below them, the rest of humanity on life support, dependent on an income that can be granted and taken away. Klaus Schwab's Davos Forum summed up this world in one sentence: "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." It's communism, except instead of promising equality, it embraces caste. And for the first time in history, a caste won't need the consent of the people to hold power: robots will do the policing, AI will do the surveillance. Or we build a new order founded on merit, freedom, and private property. Where everyone remains the owner of their life, their work, and their share of the abundance. Where the collective ambition isn't managing scarcity, but understanding the universe and colonizing the cosmos. That's Elon Musk's project. The technology is the same in both cases. What changes is who owns it. Choose carefully which world you want to live in. And beware of socialists who promise to share the pie: they always end up keeping the knife.
Elon Musk prepares for ‘wąr’ if Democrats regain control of Congress in November, per The Washington Post.

I don’t even want to think of a world without Elon Musk. He’s humanity’s most entertaining and productive member. It’s infuriating how they have drummed up hatred for the man. It’s terrifying because the globalists are pulling the strings and were more than likely behind at least two U.S. presidents’ assassinations.

I purchased my house for $599k in 2018 for retirement. This is absolutely unsustainable. In 8 years Oregon has more than doubled my assessed value, taxing me on the already taxed money I used to renovate my home. Assessed values are supposed to be capped at 3% per year. This is robbery. Fuck this socialist governance, we cannot afford pay for those who invade to steal our resources. I hate it here. Please, I beg you. Vote for change, and remove @TinaKotek from office.

As a Korean, I want to explain what’s really happening in our country right now. Our current president, Lee Jae-myung, is a fake president who won through a rigged election with help from the Chinese Communist Party. Our real president, Yoon Suk-yeol — the one who actually loves the Korean people and believes in freedom and democracy — is locked up in a tiny prison cell. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, which has been infiltrated by Chinese spies, and President Lee are pushing policies that are destroying South Korea. This year alone, the stock market has crashed several times, and many young Koreans have taken their own lives. Like most of our cabinet ministers, the Defense Minister is also a Chinese spy. Under this spy-controlled Defense Ministry, South Korean soldiers standing face-to-face with North Korean troops have not been given live ammunition. Koreans only recently found out that our soldiers have been confronting the North Korean military with empty guns for months. Now they’re even talking about taking the guns away completely and making our soldiers stand guard with sticks instead. North Korea has repeatedly crossed the border and spent up to 10 hours a day planting landmines, yet the government — now controlled by the Chinese Communist Party — says nothing and tells us not to provoke North Korea. On top of that, the Korean government allowed visa-free entry for Chinese nationals, and a huge number of Chinese people have flooded into the country. This has caused a sharp rise in human trafficking, kidnapping, and murder. Disappearances linked to organ harvesting have also increased dramatically. They’re even planning to bring in 100 million Chinese people visa-free over the next 10 years — in a country of only 50 million people. In short, Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party are trying to dismantle the Republic of Korea, pull it away from freedom and democracy, and hand it over to China. That’s also why they’re aggressively pushing multicultural immigration policies. If you don’t want South Korea to fall into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party and radical Islamists, please share our voices. We’ve been trying for years to get the world to see what’s happening, but the global media almost never reports the truth about our country. South Korea is now 99% under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. The last 1% is being held together only by the U.S. troops still stationed here and by ordinary Korean citizens who have been protesting in the streets nonstop, day and night. Yet Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party are doing everything they can to force the U.S. military out and take back wartime operational control, so they can open the door wide for China and North Korea. Also, since July 7, 2026, a revised version of the Information and Communications Network Act (what Koreans call the “mouth-shutting law”) has been in effect. Under this law, people can actually be sent to prison for criticizing the government or criticizing China. Because of this, many Koreans who tried to speak out on social media or at protests have been investigated and jailed. Freedom of religion has become a luxury in South Korea. Pastors who speak out about what’s happening are being thrown in prison. The government is now saying that if churches get involved in politics, they will be shut down and all their assets will be seized by the state. Is this North Korea? No. This is South Korea in October 2026. Please, share this as widely as you can.
This is not Pakistan. It’s Seoul, South Korea. A lot of people don’t know this, but South Korea has one of the highest levels of immigration in the world right now. I genuinely don’t understand why so many countries have collectively decided to commit suicide by importing people from completely different cultures. I get that South Korea has the lowest fertility rate, but this won’t solve the problem. It will only make it worse.

Premise: Incentives drive all human behavior. The corollary: How to destroy a country: A vast social security and support system that serves as a magnet for those who would rather not work. An open immigration policy that does not screen immigrants to determine their ability and willingness to provide for themselves and their families. An open immigration policy that does not screen for political and/or religious ideologies that are a threat to the country. Economic incentives large enough to incentivize immigrants on the state dole to have large numbers of children, but insufficient for educated and economically productive mothers to be able to quit to raise a family. The declining fertility of the most educated and productive women due to their delay to begin a family as a result of their desire and/or need to advance their careers, among other reasons, to live a life they deem consistent with their educational achievements and/or to repay their student debts. Amnesty programs that give citizenship and voting power to illegal immigrants without consideration of their economic productivity or their threat to the country due to their religious or political ideologies. The changing demographics and increased population due to the above factors. The state responding to protests by increasing social support. The continued failure to punish and hold accountable violent and looting rioters. Government managed by a massive and growing unelected bureaucracy. Government fraud, waste, and abuse contributed to ballooning budgets. Anti-business legislation that makes it difficult for businesses to compete in a global marketplace being disrupted by AI, including restrictions on firing even poorly performing employees. Overly burdensome, globally uncompetitive, corporate taxation. Continuous increases in personal taxes to raise funds to provide for the rapidly growing welfare state. The substantial majority of the tax burden levied on a small percentage of the population. A growing percentage of the electorate paying no taxes and receiving welfare. The introduction or threat of a wealth tax including the taxation of unrealized gains, i.e., taxes on paper wealth. The flight of the most productive business builders and highest taxpayers to lower tax countries with lesser security concerns. A growing percentage of the electorate voting for candidates that support increased welfare and laws favorable to, and/or that match the cultural and ideological needs and desires of a growing unproductive immigrant population. The rapid rise in anti-semitism and inadequate efforts to address this hatred. Increased borrowing by the state to fund the growing social burden. Higher sovereign interest rates due to all of the above. The resulting need to reduce expenditures to make the math work. Increasingly violent protests that make life less livable for the productive and law abiding citizens leading to their accelerated departure. And so on…
