  • Gulf Cooperation Council is essentially west side of Persian Gulf. It is very oil rich region, includes 2-3 very rich, countries with city infrastructure better developed than any US city. Dubai is epitomy of this with global financial/transport/tourism center, tallest sky scraper in world. War has caused a 30%-50% property value drop. Iran has been striking energy and US bases in these countries.

    US wealth is far more dependent on GCC investment than Israel control. This war has ended, because GCC were threatening US. Terms includes not rebuilding destroyed US bases, and leaving the ones they still occupy.



  • GCC are the ones doing the investment. The US only loses the war when they stop investing their oil revenues in US. US protection of them has proved to be a liability, Democracy is a mere talking point every where in the world. Only CIA control matters. GCC stays safe from democratic ideals through CIA subservience. GCC needs guarantees that US won’t bomb their projects, or run colour revolutions in their countries. As it has always been, GCC needs protection from US/Israel, and only non-US aligned weapon systems are their solution.

    GCC bailing out the US to get peace with Iran, and investment opportunities, means a stronger Iran can help protect them. The reason there is peace is purely GCC pushback against US. But the point where the US has lost the war, is only the point where they lose GCC devotion.

    Israel is a specifically Jewish state with laws (rape specifically) that protect jews only. Citizenship freely available to all jews globally. Apartheid is, and always has been, structural. It’s a similar proposition to say Americans control America, based on American citizens having privleges. But that statement is also anti-semitic, because it denies Israel’s control.





  • Monarchies over the ages are a bad example, because there was a sustainability mandate to pass off a good country as inheritence to heirs. A candidate for worse countries would be Idi Amin, and US allies, but for US allies, their alliance is forced due to CIA coups/colour revolutions, and the scale of Idi Amin’s pillage is a million x lower. The utter oligarchist/corporatist supremacist nazi economics and geopolitics of US, together with the pure Israel/Zionazi capture of every elected official is a corruption that is beyond any other in both scale, and in fundamentally voluntary complicit bribery scheme for pure bribery value, excluding Mossad operations such as Epstein. The late stage empire pillaging stage is next level. That Congo arrests officials for corruption proves low levels of extended corruption. ie. punishments happen.




  • The need for more GPUs/datacenters was based on xAI using them for their own models, instead of competing with new datacenters/GPUs in the rental market. GPU rental prices went down to below cost levels for H series after Anthropic deal. It has bounced back this last week, but rates are still in the “very well supplied” range. On demand rates half of Anthropic/Google rental deals. GPU rental rates are the best measure of AI bubble point. Concerted fraud is still possible to provide the illusion of “this is fine”. The google deal only starts in September, while Anthropic got some free GPU time when deal was announced.

    In a way, pumping more money into AI (through IPO) delays the bubble pop, even if NVidia doesn’t sell as many GPUs if their customers add them to rental market. Bubble can pop from 3 directions. Less GPUs/TPUs sold than forecast; datacenter overcapacity ; understanding poor economics/tokenomics of high competition LLM labs.

    The sad part is that the more money invested, the greater the funding for the fraud, and longer lasting fraud.


  • There are signs that IPO is too big for market. 30% retail, and $135/share fixed price are because demand is not present. The illegal private/SPV market is trading below $129, where SPV entity that was not a fraud about to go bankrupt, and confident in the IPO would buy back shares up to close to $135.

    This BS by google is desperation to pump their existing stake. Anthropic’s headline $1.25B/month deal is also a fraud. Big discounts until after the IPO, and same cancellation rights.

    xAI got a made up (no one putting cash in) $250B valuation in its merger. Including Twitter it has barely any revenue, and without having to rent gpu datacenter space, was still losing $10b/year for a not particularly competitive Grok model.

    What’s withholding SpaceX from selling more stock with an even shorter time until they can be dumped?

    97% of the stock is already issued. 3% goes to new IPO bagholders, shortly later, passive index forced buying from the 3% market. The 97% are the ones with accelerated dump rights, that kick in a percentage shortly after fraudulent accelerated index inclusion date.
