‘Post-nationalists’ are aiding Communist government over America
Billionaire Tech investor Peter Thiel has warned that Google is aiding the Chinese military, and that the company needs to be investigated by the FBI and the CIA because it is manned by “globalists” who do not understand the threat to the US that China poses.
Thiel described Google’s political culture as “globalist, “post-national,” and “cosmopolitan,” adding that the company is “incredibly insular” and “incurious” about real “problems” outside of its own silicon valley bubble.
Thiel called for US intelligence agencies to get involved as Google is indirectly providing the Chinese government with cutting edge AI technology.
“The question about Chinese interest in [Google’s artificial intelligence development] is one that needs to be looked at much more carefully. That’s why I’ve argued that the FBI or the CIA should be looking at this.” Thiel noted in an interview with Fox News.
“I think it is unprecedented in the last 1000 years or ever that major U.S. company refused to work with the U.S. military and has worked with our geopolitical rivals. This is not a liberal-conservative thing. This is absolutely unprecedented.” the entrepreneur continued, referring to the fact that Google refused to bid on the Department of Defense’s $10 billion JEDI contract last year, on the grounds that working with the U.S. military could violate its “AI principles.”
“Google has a major AI research lab in China, where, even though it’s not working directly with the Chines military, in effect, all the technology gets handed on to the Chinese military.” Thiel warned, comparing the technology to the “Manhattan Project”.
“This is in black-and-white in the constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, as of 2017, it got amended to stress that there needs to be civil-military fusion in China, where all things need to be integrated. Anything that has civilian use must also be handed over to the People’s Liberation Army, the PLA.” he further explained.
Elsewhere during the interview, Thiel, a Trump supporter, noted that “There are many other people in Silicon Valley who support the president, but they are not going to say it.”
“And so that’s always the problem – unanimity doesn’t mean that everybody agrees. It normally just means that everybody is just too scared to speak up.” Thiel added.
Thiel, who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, has previously warned that Google is aiding in the transfer of AI technology to the Chinese military in favor of America because “woke” Google employees are anti-American and prefer China to the U.S.
Calling Google’s action a “treasonous decision,” Thiel warned that “There’s probably a broad base of Google employees that are ideologically super left wing, sort of woke, and think that China’s better than the U.S. or that the U.S. is worse than China – it’s more anti-American than anything.”
German farmers are blocking roads in Hamburg with their tractors to protest against environment regulations as the rural revolt against globalism spreads across Europe.
4,000 tractors arrived in Hamburg yesterday in a massive rebuke to what protesters assert is government bullying amidst efforts to impose Green New Deal-style control measures.
Regional environment ministers were meeting to discuss plans to ban certain weed killers and fertilizers, something that farmers insist will kill their livelihoods.
Placards displayed on the tractors included one that read, “No farm, no food, no future,” with farmers expressing their fury at being blamed while their contribution to the economy is ignored and ministers refuse to engage in dialogue with them.
“The rules, which are coming from the German government, are so hard for us that we can’t work on our farms,” Klaus-Peter Lucht, Vice President of the regional Farmers Association, told RT. “We can’t make good crops. We can’t have good fodder for the dairy [cows].”
The kilometer long convoys of tractors caused “considerable traffic disruption” across the city, according to authorities.
Hamburg is just the latest site of a rural revolt against globalism that is sweeping Europe.
Last month, thousands of Dutch farmers descended on the Netherlands capital to protest against a government proposal that livestock production be slashed by up to 50% in the name of preventing global warming.
Demonstrators were angry that the same restrictions they may be hit with will not apply to the aviation industry.
The Yellow Vest movement in France, which is set to mark its first anniversary this weekend, also began as a backlash against onerous gas tax hikes and other regulations impacting rural workers.
Over 11,000 scientists have signed an emergency declaration urging westerners to have fewer children in order to stop climate change.
Erm, one problem with that – westerners aren’t having children.
Even if you believe in man-made climate change, the biggest surge in population growth is occurring in Africa and the Middle East, and amongst migrants from those countries who now live in the west.
The scientists write that the global population “must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity.”
Given that this report was published in a western science journal and amplified by western media outlets, we can only assume it is aimed at westerners.
Which is a little odd, given that in Europe women are having on average just 1.6 children and in North America 1.9 children, both below the replacement rate.
Meanwhile, in Africa women are having on average 4.5 children and in the Middle East 2.8 children. Many of these families are also producing similar numbers of offspring after they move to western countries.
Are scientists going to tell black and brown people that there should be a lot less of them on the planet?
Sounds pretty racist to me.
In addition, the entire overpopulation argument is alarmist hysteria. It was first introduced by environmentalist Paul Ehrlich in his 1968 book The Population Bomb, which ludicrously claimed “hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death” by the 1980’s because of overpopulation.
Didn’t happen, but climate alarmists are recycling the same debunked garbage in order to impose population control.
Live alone in a pod.
Eat bugs.
Never have children.
Die alone.
While the people telling us are either financially dependent on enviro-hysteria or travel the world in private jet luxury & vacation on 400 foot yachts.
No, fuck off.
As Piers Corbyn said, “Climate policy is there to control you, not climate.”
