Climate Threat A critical Atlantic Current will Collapse
Mike Levin @MikeLevin
This should be a bigger story.
Scientists are more concerned than ever that a critical Atlantic current will collapse soon and wreak havoc on North America and Europe. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a massive conveyor belt of ocean currents that transports water from the tropics to the Atlantic.
Without it, severe weather would impact both regions at potentially devastating rates.
These scientists aren’t just warning us about an environmental issue—they’re sounding the alarm about a climate threat that could fundamentally rewrite how future generations survive on our planet.
The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought after new research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic. Scientists called the new finding “very concerning” as a collapse would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas.

 

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

Pittsburgh was the last American city to host the G20, which brought in $135 million in benefits to the city. This year, Trump unilaterally announced the G20 would be held at his own club in Miami, hoarding the benefits while other cities lose out. The President and his family don’t even try to hide their corruption. Last year alone, they made at least $1.4 billion through backroom deals and legal threats. And the American people are fed up.

I cannot unsee this.
I’ve been watching Trump answer questions for years. The confidence. The certainty. The way he shuts down a room. I genuinely thought he was one of the sharpest communicators alive.
Then one day I caught myself finishing his sentence before he said it.
Not guessing. Knowing. Word for word. Before he said it.
So I pulled the transcripts.
Press conferences. Interviews. Sprays. Egg prices. Greenland. January 6th. Military strikes. Different years. Different reporters. Completely different topics.
Same thing every time.
Every single time Trump is asked a question — any question — he runs the exact same 7 steps. In the exact same order. Without exception.
This is not personality.
This is not confidence.
This is not charisma.
This is a deliberate repeatable formula. And I can prove it.
His actual words. Public record. Verify every single one yourself.
📷 STEP 1 — KILL THE QUESTION
(First thing every time — make the question itself the problem.)
📷 “That’s a stupid question.” / “Fake news.”
📷 STEP 2 — KILL WHO ASKED IT
(Destroy the source so the question has nowhere to stand.)
📷 “Your ratings are terrible. Nobody watches your network.”
📷 STEP 3 — INSERT HIMSELF
(Every topic. Every time. Without fail. It always lands here.)
📷 “Nobody has ever done what I’ve done.”
📷 STEP 4 — SCALE IT TO THE BIGGEST CLAIM POSSIBLE
(Not good. Not great. The greatest. Ever. In history. Every single time.)
📷 “More than any administration — by far.” / “Nobody has ever had crowds like I’ve had — in history, for any country.”
📷 STEP 5 — UNNAMED PEOPLE AGREE
(Faceless. Countless. Unverifiable. Always there.)
📷 “Smart people are saying it. Great people. A lot of people.”
📷 STEP 6 — VAGUE THREAT
(Something bad will happen. Never specified. Always implied.)
📷 “All hell will break out.” / “They know it. Believe me.”
📷 STEP 7 — LOOP BACK TO HIMSELF
(Different words. Same destination. Formula complete.)
📷 “It’s been an amazing period of time. Page after page of accomplishments.”
The question was never answered.
The formula just ran.
Go back and watch any clip.
Any year. Any topic. Any reporter.
Count the steps.
I’ll wait.
This is the part nobody wants to sit with:
Real conviction engages with the actual question. It sometimes stumbles. Sometimes says I don’t know. It changes shape based on what’s in front of it.
A formula runs the same 7 steps whether the topic is war or egg prices.
Which means the response was never built for the question.
It was built for you.
To feel powerful. To feel certain. To stop you from noticing that nothing was actually answered.
And it worked.
For years it worked.
Pull any transcript. Public record. Count the steps yourself.
This isn’t about politics.
This is about what you were never supposed to notice.
I’ve found the same deliberate pattern running in another major figure in this administration. Different slots. Same principle. Same effect.
Next post I break it down.
Follow or miss it.

ECP NetHappenings The AI Bubble Numbers Don’t Work

HAPPY #420

ROLL ROLL ROLL a joint twist it at the end
Light it up take a Puff 
Pass it to your Friend
Happy #420

ESSAYS Ricardo @Ric_RTP https://x.com/Ric_RTP

AI is the first technology in history where more customers makes you POORER.

Every tech company in history got cheaper as it scaled.

More users meant lower costs per user. That’s the entire model.

That’s why Microsoft prints money. That’s why Google prints money. That’s why Meta prints money.

Software has near-zero marginal cost. Build it once. Sell it a billion times. The 100 millionth user costs basically nothing to serve.

This is the single most important rule in tech economics.

But AI completely broke it.

Every single query costs real compute. Every interaction burns real electricity. Every response depreciates real hardware.

There is no “build once, sell forever.” There is only “burn money every time someone asks a question.”

And the numbers prove it:

OpenAI hit $20 billion in annualized revenue. Losses? $14 billion.

For every dollar they earn, they spend $1.69 delivering it. Their losses TRIPLED as their revenue grew.

Not because they’re bad at business, but simply because the model itself is broken.

Anthropic crossed $30 billion in annualized revenue. Still burning billions. Still not profitable. Still raising tens of billions just to keep the lights on.

xAI is burning $1 billion every single month.

Perplexity spent 164% of its revenue on compute costs from AWS, They literally spent more on running the AI than they made from selling it.

This is not how technology is supposed to work.

Google once estimated that adding AI to every search query would require 500,000 A100 servers. The cost of answering a single AI query is 10x MORE than a traditional search result.

Traditional software: Serving 1 million users costs roughly the same as serving 100,000. The marginal cost is basically zero.

AI: Serving 1 million users can cost 10 times what 100,000 costs. Every new user is a new expense. Every new query is a new dollar burned.

This is reverse economics. The more successful you become, the faster you die.

And nobody in the industry wants to talk about it because the entire narrative depends on you believing AI companies work like software companies.

But they don’t. They NEVER will.

Software scales to infinity. AI scales to bankruptcy.

HSBC ran the numbers on OpenAI specifically.

Their conclusion:

Even after every funding round, every investment, every deal, OpenAI still faces a $207 BILLION shortfall to reach profitability.

The industry response has been to raise prices.

ChatGPT went from free to $20 to $200 for the Pro plan. And it’s still not enough because the cost of running these models grows FASTER than any price increase consumers will accept.

Meanwhile 966 AI startups died in 2024. A 25.6% jump from the year before.

AI startups burn cash twice as fast as non-AI tech companies. And the ones building on TOP of OpenAI and Anthropic are in even worse shape.

Every wrapper app. Every “AI-powered” SaaS tool. Every startup whose entire product is someone else’s model with a different skin on it.

They’re all margin-negative. Every single one.

And these are the companies about to IPO.

SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cerebras. $240 billion in combined raises planned for 2026.

They’re asking you to invest in an industry where the fundamental unit economics don’t work. Where the MORE customers you get, the MORE money you lose. Where no company has figured out how to make the math positive.

The dot-com bubble had the same pitch: “Revenue is growing. Profitability comes later.”

For most of them, later never came.

The question isn’t whether AI will change the world. It will.

The question is whether it can do it without going broke first.

And right now, every single number literally says no.

How can they become profitable?

 

44% of Gen Z employees are secretly destroying their company’s AI systems from the inside.

They’re literally poisoning the data, faking the results, and making AI look like it doesn’t work.

This new survey of 2,400 workers by Writer and Workplace Intelligence is genuinely unbelievable…

29% of ALL employees admit to actively sabotaging their company’s AI strategy.

Among Gen Z workers? 44%.

Nearly HALF.

What they’re doing:

– Feeding proprietary company data into public AI tools on purpose
– Tampering with performance reviews to make AI look like it’s underperforming
– Deliberately generating garbage output so leadership thinks the technology is broken
– Refusing training
– Refusing to log in
– Some are even manipulating analytics dashboards to HIDE any productivity gains AI actually delivers

They have a name for it too: FOBO. Fear Of Becoming Obsolete.

And it honestly makes complete sense when you look at what their CEOs are telling them.

Palantir’s CEO stood on a stage at Davos in January and said “AI will destroy humanities jobs.” Direct quote. Then added “You’re effed.”

Anthropic’s CEO said AI could eliminate HALF of all entry-level white-collar jobs.

Microsoft’s AI chief said ALL white-collar work could be automated within 18 months.

These aren’t random Twitter predictions. These are the CEOs of the companies BUILDING the AI.

Telling the workforce directly that they’re about to be replaced.

Then those same companies turn around and say “please adopt this tool that’s going to take your job.”

And they’re genuinely confused when employees fight back.

The data gets even worse though:

60% of executives say they’re considering FIRING employees who refuse to adopt AI. 77% say they’ll block promotions for anyone who resists.

Accenture is literally monitoring weekly AI login data to decide who gets promoted.

Meanwhile the job market for the people being told to “adapt or die” looks like this:

– Entry-level software postings dropped from 43% to 28% since 2023
– 43% of US graduates aged 22 to 27 are underemployed
– 60% of entry-level jobs now require 3+ years of experience
– 80,000 tech workers have been laid off in 2026 alone

AI was the LEADING cause of job cuts in March 2026 for the first time in recorded history.

So the math is simple:

CEOs are telling workers AI will replace them. Then demanding they use it. Then threatening to fire them if they don’t. All while the job market outside is collapsing.

And they wonder why 44% of Gen Z is burning it from the inside.

But here’s the part that surprised me the most:

75% of the executives in the same survey admitted their company’s AI strategy is “more for show than a meaningful guide to outcomes.”

3 out of 4 companies don’t even HAVE a real AI strategy.

They’re forcing adoption of tools they don’t understand. For strategies they haven’t built. While threatening the livelihoods of people who see through the entire charade.

54% of executives also said AI is “tearing their company apart.”

Well… no shit.

This is the first organized sabotage campaign against a technology in modern corporate history.

The last time workers systematically destroyed the machines threatening their jobs was the Luddite movement in 1811. Factory workers smashing textile looms across England.

History books treated them like idiots.

Turns out they were 200 years early.

The only difference is that today’s sabotage is invisible.

Corrupted data, faked metrics, and an entire generation quietly making sure the robots don’t work.

And the craziest part is that the executives threatening to fire them are the same ones who can’t tell the AI is being sabotaged.

Because they don’t understand the technology either.

 

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed an executive order forcing every US bank to collect proof of citizenship is “in process.”

And he just doubled down: “If Treasury and the banking regulators say it’s their job, it’s their job.”

This sounds irrelevant but here’s what this really means:

Per the Congressional Research Service, only 48% of Americans hold a US passport.

That leaves over 170 million Americans without one.

REAL IDs don’t count. Driver’s licenses don’t count. Social Security cards don’t count.

Per Wall Street Journal reporting, banks will need a passport or birth certificate.

The Brennan Center found 21.3 million voting-age US citizens don’t have documents proving their citizenship easily available.

These are Americans who are about to lose access to their own bank accounts.

And here’s the thing:

The order applies to new AND existing customers. Banks could be forced to close accounts of people who can’t produce documents.

Your 78-year-old grandmother born at home in 1948. Your naturalized dad who lost his papers 30 years ago. Your cousin mid-passport renewal.

The official story is that this stops illegal immigrants from accessing banking.

But the actual reality:

Illegal immigrants can’t open US bank accounts anyway. Know Your Customer rules already require SSNs or ITINs. The existing system ALREADY blocks what this order claims to block.

So who does this actually target?

The half of Americans without a passport. Rural Americans. Elderly Americans born before centralized record-keeping. Black Americans in Southern states where birth records were historically unreliable. Low-income Americans who can’t afford $225 for an expedited passport.

The American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, estimates this adds 33 to 73 million paperwork hours and $2.6 to $5.6 billion in compliance costs.

Guess who pays those costs?

You do. Through fees. Through closed accounts. Through denied loans.

Bessent’s defense quote: “I have a place in the UK, they want to know who lives in every apartment.”

Bessent’s net worth: $600 million.

He has a “place in the UK.”

He will not be affected by this.

So this isn’t really about immigration.

For the first time in American history, access to the banking system would be conditioned on proving citizenship to the federal government. That creates a permanent database linking every American’s finances to their citizenship status.

Once that database exists, it gets used by ICE, voting enforcement, tax enforcement, Social Security, and future administrations for purposes nobody has announced yet.

Every future government gets the keys to decide who has a bank account based on paperwork.

And Wall Street’s reaction tells you everything:

Bank execs privately called it “unworkable” and “a complete nightmare.” One researcher called it “a way to weaponize the banking system to achieve political ends.”

They’re not pushing back because they love immigrants. They just KNOW the compliance costs are catastrophic and half their customers will walk.

Tom Cotton also introduced a companion bill in March making it a federal crime for any unauthorized person to “open or maintain a US bank account.” Maintain. Meaning existing accounts.

These things are literally being drafted right now.

I’m surprised that all of this went under the radar.

FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, Zuckerberg “Project Looking Glass” and Ghislaine Maxwell

MARK ZUCKERBERG WAS JUST SUBPOENAED.
Not for data leaks. Not for censorship.
For Epstein.
Bondi’s team found 3 wire transfers from a Meta subsidiary called “Horizon Bridge LLC” to the Butterfly Foundation — the same Epstein front company named in the Tehran files.
Total: $47.2 million between 2016 and 2019.
But that’s not the worst part.
The worst part is what the money was for.
Internal Meta documents recovered from the Tehran servers show that Zuckerberg personally approved a program called “Project Looking Glass.”
Its purpose: to build a private facial recognition database of every child on Instagram under the age of 14.
12.4 million faces. Catalogued. Tagged. Sorted.
And shared with a single external client: Ghislaine Maxwell.
Zuckerberg’s lawyers released a statement 40 minutes ago: “Mr. Zuckerberg will cooperate fully.”
That’s what they all say.
Right before the handcuffs.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 1973

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires.
At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare.
Perhaps you can connect the dots.
REMINDER: UNTIL 1973, HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE NON-PROFIT.
REPUBLICANS CHANGED THE LAW-NOW THEY PROFIT $25 BILLION A YEAR OFF YOUR HEALTH.

This guy explains how his truck has been sending all his driving data to his insurance company without him knowing about it, and then he shows exactly how to turn it off in the settings.
He has a Ford F-150, but there’s probably a similar setting in your vehicle if it’s connected to the internet.
It’s a quick reminder of how much is being tracked these days… and how easy it can be to protect yourself if you just know where to look.
Have you ever checked your own vehicle settings for anything like this, or found out your car was sharing data you didn’t expect?
Note: he says that he may have opted in to sharing his data without knowing it.
Every modern vehicle has a computer that is tracking you everywhere and you’re every move and listening to you. Classic cars and trucks are more valuable than people realize.

Like the child r@pist Trump, Peter Thiel is the Anti-Christ.
“When billionaires tell you they want to end freedom & democracy, take them seriously.”

It is wild how long Peter Thiel got away with lying about Jeffrey Epstein.
He tried to downplay their connection, but emails prove they met constantly for years.
Epstein even invested tens of millions into Thiel’s ventures and even acted as his personal tax advisor.

Villain World Cards @RegularVillain
It’s my theory that Thiel took Epstein’s role within the American cartel.
Epstein was a mob accountant who used corporate vehicles and retail to obscure payments, facilitate drug trafficking and launder money and create/inflate assets.
Thiel does all of that digitally, with less overhead.
Epstein’s science grifters were known as the “The Brights” but Thiel consumed and co-opted that entire campaign with his “Intellectual Dark Web”.
If you look to the spaces where we know Epstein used to have assets and influence, you’ll see Thiel currently occupying that space.

@AaronRDay
In 2007 Gawker outed Peter Thiel as gay.
In 2016 Thiel secretly funded $10M in lawsuits that bankrupted them.
This week he funded the AI that grades journalists.
Here’s what’s inside it:
1/ It’s called Objection. The founder is Aron D’Souza, the same lawyer who personally ran the Gawker takedown for Thiel.
2/ Backers include Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan.
3/ Anyone pays $2,000 to trigger a “public investigation” of any reporter.
4/ The “investigators” are former FBI, NSA, and CIA officers.
5/ The jury is a panel of AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and xAI.
6/ The output is an “Honor Index” score on the journalist.
7/ Anonymous whistleblowers are ranked dead last in the evidence weighting.
8/ Corporate emails and government filings are ranked at the top.
9/ What used to take 5-10 years in court, they say, now takes 72 hours.
The man who spent a decade using the legal system to destroy a newsroom just automated the process.
Surveillance-state veterans score the reporter. AI trained by Thiel and Musk renders the verdict. Whistleblowers count least. Power’s paper trail counts most.
Speech for me. A score for thee.

WHAT DO YOU DO HERE?

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Dei Civitas @bill_c10

“Anarcho-Tyranny: Power Through Disorder and Control”
Anarcho-tyranny describes a political condition in which the state abandons its duty to restrain real threats to public order while smothering the daily lives of law-abiding citizens under layers of surveillance, regulation, and punishment. What results is a strange inversion: violent criminals and rioters walk free, while ordinary citizens are fined, censored, or even arrested for words typed into a phone. What should be the bedrock of justice (the equal application of law) becomes a weapon of selective enforcement, used to intimidate the compliant while ignoring the truly dangerous.
The term was coined by the late Samuel T. Francis, whose posthumously published Leviathan and Its Enemies offers a searing analysis of twentieth-century America. Francis argued that the rise of the “Managerial State” marked a profound transformation of Western political order. Old forms of authority such as family, church, and local enterprise gave way to sprawling bureaucracies and corporate behemoths, organizations devoted less to the common good than to efficiency, control, and the management of populations. These entities, Francis observed, are largely insulated from accountability, and they exist first and foremost to perpetuate themselves.
Within this system, anarcho-tyranny becomes not a bug but a feature. By allowing chaos to simmer (unpunished crime, lawless streets, constant insecurity) the regime manufactures the pretext for further control. Meanwhile, the full weight of state authority falls on those who obey the rules, precisely because they are easiest to police. It is safer for the state to punish an office worker for an ill-judged social media post than to confront gangs who rule neighborhoods with impunity. It is easier to squeeze the citizen who files his taxes than to discipline the oligarch who launders billions. Disorder distracts, and tyranny pacifies. Together they reinforce the grip of the managerial class.
The dynamic Francis described echoes the darker warnings of George Orwell. In 1984, when Winston Smith asks O’Brien about the future, the reply is blunt: it will be a boot stamping on a human face, forever. Orwell’s image is more than a metaphor for violence. It captures the deliberate humiliation and permanent subjugation that defines totalitarian rule. The boot is the power of the state; the face is the human person, stripped of dignity and crushed into silence.
Anarcho-tyranny embodies this same logic. The tolerated disorder creates the fear; the suffocating regulation delivers the humiliation. Citizens are trapped between insecurity and repression, robbed of the protections that government owes them while being constantly reminded of the penalties that government can inflict. The people sense the betrayal: the state that once promised justice now offers only a choice between chaos and control.
It is little wonder that frustration in the West grows sharper by the day. Ordinary men and women watch as violent offenders are released in the name of reform, while petty infractions are punished with zeal. A mother who questions ideological lessons in her child’s school finds herself investigated. A man who makes a joke online is dragged before a court, while mobs who burn, loot, and terrorize face no consequence. A violent criminal is released immediately, while a citizen who defends his family from a home invader is arrested for “endangering the life” of the intruder. The very inversion Francis described has become daily reality: anarchy for the lawless, tyranny for the lawful.
This is not incompetence. It is not accidental. It is not random. It is strategy. Anarcho-tyranny is a method of rule, designed to sap resistance, normalize fear, and preserve the dominance of an elite that thrives on disorder it refuses to stop and on obedience it never ceases to demand. Orwell’s boot and Francis’s managerial state are not just abstract theoretic concepts. They are the shape of our present.
