China Is Building AI Models of American Voters. Why? Natalie Winters

From 171 million X posts to simulated swing-state voters, Chinese institutions are mapping the American electorate in startling detail.

The Finnish police saw a 15-year-old boy speeding dangerously and decided to stop him to prevent him from getting into dangerous situations.

But they nearly killed him! They rammed his moped into the bushes recklessly!

The boy is in hospital with broken bones in his palm and a fractured foot.

Swedish news was filming a report in Ukraine and was interrupted by a guy running from mobilization.

Earlier the same Swedish news was reporting in Ukraine and one of their team members got mobilized.

The Swedish news has a hard time pretending all is fine in Ukraine.

Anthropic CEO’s Wife Asked Jeffrey Epstein to Invest in ‘Luxury Porn’ Venture

The wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, a quiet but powerful influence over one of the world’s most hyped “safe” AI companies, once pitched Jeffrey Epstein on investing in her “free luxury porn” venture years after the financier’s 2008 conviction for soliciting minors.

Reason for this post – I don’t think we should we ignore the connection with Anthropic (and their desire to become this country’s adopted DoD AI) and the Epstien class.

https://modernity.news/2026/08/15/wtf-the-anthropic-epstein-connection/

Excerpt:

Clark holds no formal title or salary at Anthropic. Yet people close to the company describe her as a key adviser who sits in the front row at Amodei’s appearances, networks with investors at Davos and Sun Valley, and helped bring in early backer Eric Schmidt—whom she previously dated.

She even proposed a “Mother of AGI Fund” in 2021 to formalize her role and manage Schmidt’s investment; co-founders blocked it. As Anthropic races toward a potential $2 trillion IPO, her low public profile stands out.

References to the marriage have been scrubbed online. Anthropic’s own Claude chatbot replies that Amodei’s marital status “doesn’t seem to be clearly confirmed.” Google searches often surface photos of his sister instead.

This latest detail lands amid a steady drip of Epstein network revelations that continue exposing how elites moved in the same circles long after his conviction, often with little consequence.

CANADA – Kamloops residential school ‘graves’ could have been septic pipes all along – National Post

NOTE: published 100 days ago but I just found it now

Five years after the explosive announcement of 215 children’s graves, the only way to know what’s under the ground is to excavate

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/kamloops-residential-school-graves

 

For heavens sake excavate asap to determine if this was a scam! 

This my friends is an awesome looking chart….

daily is great, but look at this weekly chart.  Fan-phucking-tastic.  Last 3 weeks have been a great start to a bullish PM fall seasonality which I mentioned quite a few times….

Look at that increase in volume from the lows 4 weeks ago, MACD cross, broke the 50 week, hovered and continued on, rising 200 wk moving average.  If this was a pin up, I’d recommend it make centerfold of the year.  Eat your heart out Miss August.

And the really impressive part is the advance.  Typically it only makes these explosive moves on the downside, and grinds its way back up…but au contraire mon ami….we seem to be operating in the twilight zone…..this is why you stay the course.  The bull does not easily let you back in……

If you haven’t bothered to read my post about $40 mill

a month going to the Taliban, it’s worth a read both a) to determine if that is true, and b) to illustrate the serious shortcomings of AI. It can indeed be helpful but you need to come armed with facts of your own. And to ask smart follow-on questions.

I’ve heard the refrain “the U.S. sends $40 million a month

to the Taliban” repeatedly. Never any detail, just the claim.

So, smart me, I asked Claude. Here’s the response. We are indeed sending millions to Afghanistan monthly – and guaranteed it is being 100% grifted.

 

 

The claim as usually stated — “the US government sends $40 million a month directly to the Taliban” — isn’t quite accurate, but there’s a real underlying fact being distorted. Here’s what’s actually happening:

What’s real:

  • Since the Taliban took over in August 2021, the U.S. has been the largest donor of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, and that aid has continued at roughly $40 million per week (not per month) — so closer to $160 million/month, not $40 million.
  • U.S. officials have blocked the central bank from receiving money from a trust fund, and the State Department has said “the United States does not provide funding to the Taliban.” ProPublica
  • The State Department has confirmed to SIGAR (the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) that it dispatches roughly $40 million in cash to Afghanistan every 10-14 days, which works out to about $80-120 million a month, delivered into a designated account at a private bank under UN auspices, and per UNAMA, these funds do not flow into the Taliban-controlled central bank. Afghanistan InternationalAfghanistan International
  • This money funds UN humanitarian operations (food, health programs, etc.) and passes through vetted NGOs, not the Taliban government directly.

Where it gets contested:

  • Critics, including AEI’s Michael Rubin, argue the Taliban still exerts influence over how these funds are ultimately used, since the Taliban controls Afghanistan’s economy, taxes NGOs, and can pressure aid distribution on the ground. Afghanistan International
  • SIGAR reported that more than $10 million has been paid to the Taliban in the form of taxes since 2021, which Secretary of State Blinken confirmed in testimony — a much smaller, indirect amount via taxation on aid operations, not $40M/week going to the Taliban itself. house
  • Some lawmakers (e.g., Rep. Burchett, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) have characterized the full $40M/week humanitarian flow as effectively “going to the Taliban,” which is disputed by the State Department and by fact-checkers who note the money is meant for and largely used by independent aid organizations, not the Taliban government.

Bottom line: The government isn’t cutting the Taliban a $40M/month check. It’s sending roughly $40 million every 1-2 weeks in humanitarian cash assistance through UN channels, officially routed around the Taliban-controlled central bank — but there’s legitimate, ongoing debate about how much the Taliban skims or benefits from that aid indirectly through taxation and control of the operating environment.

US To Send Hospital Ship Next Year To Peru To Help With Impact Of El Nino

The United States will send a military hospital ship to Peru’s Pacific coast next year to help the country cope with the impact of the El Niño weather phenomenon.

The U.S. Embassy in Peru said in a statement that during the summit, Navarro highlighted that the United States has demonstrated its support for the South American country through its aid and assistance. This includes the construction of 18 Regional Emergency Operations Centers; the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration training provided to its officials in emergency response and risk management; and scientific and medical cooperation, such as the upcoming arrival of the hospital ship.

Lacy Hunt: Fed’s Been “Stealth-Easing” Since December

“We’re seeing a major secular shift, that we’re now moving into a period of capital shortage, as well as we’re witnessing the end of the three-decade period of globalization, which led to significant disinflation.”

“There will be intermittent episodes when the secular forces will fade, but the big picture is considerably different. We’re going to have higher inflation. We’re going to have greater volatility in inflation. The trend in interest rate is going to be higher. And we’re going to have generally poor economic performance.”

Canada’s tech industry warns ‘entrepreneurs are leaving in droves’ for US – National Post

Canada’s tech industry is warning that the country continues to lose its best and brightest entrepreneurs to the U.S., an issue that has taken on new urgency as tariff threats have prompted Ottawa to try to diversify away from the U.S. economy.

This week, various tech entrepreneurs, politicians and economists began to weigh in on data that show just how big the problem has become. According to recent figures, there are at least 517 U.S.-based tech firms with Canadian founders — or, entrepreneurs who were educated in Canada but later left for the U.S. — that have together raised more than US$400 billion.

EDITOR ADDED

An eerie quiet masks the panic rising among the many players in the long-running train of crimes carried out under color-of-law against the people of the this country that goes roughly under the clunky name of The Grand Conspiracy. What is Joe DiGenova up to, exactly, in the Southern District of Florida, with its several grand juries grinding away? Indictments will fly, for sure, but then who will flip on whom? It won’t take a whole lot of flippers to seal many fates in this skein of sedition and treason. The tension must be terrible for them.

“You’re only ONE PERCENT OF THIS NATION! We are NOT a nation of Muslims, we are a nation of CHRISTIANS! We are one nation under GOD!”

“YOU are up under Sharia Law!”

“You have seen what has happened in this city, and it is my people that have funded you. It’s my people that made sure that you have what you have, and you spit on us. You degrade us!”

“We have LOST this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws. We are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”

Just a reminder ( Who are the Unvaccinated ?)

“Even if I were pollinated and fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure I have ever seen, even from partners, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.
People who were capable of such personality, courage and critical ability are undoubtedly the best of humanity. They are everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, states and ideas. They are of a special kind; they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks. They are the parents that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of having. They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered horizons. They are there, next to you, they look normal, but they are superheroes.
They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social exclusion. And they did it because they thought they were alone, and believed they were the only ones.
Banned from their families’ tables at Christmas, they never saw anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money … but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal and humiliation … but they kept going.
Never before in humanity has there been such a “casting”, now we know who are the best on planet Earth. Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races or religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed.
That’s you, you passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, astronauts and geniuses could not withstand.
You are made of the stuff of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who glow in the dark.”

“Slowly At First – Then All At Once”

This week’s Treasury move to double the amount of long bonds being bought is already losing steam and Bessent is jawboning that the dollar amount will be greater than $4 billion a pop.  The announcement confirmed what most PM investors and many others already knew.  The dollar is facing increased rates of debasement, which means Gold & Silver will keep rising.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     When it becomes clear that the debasement is running so fast that the system is about to collapse, the Treasury and FED, will have no choice but to rollout a Gold revaluation.  I now don’t think they will be able to wait until after the midterms. Possibly as soon as Labor Day weekend?

MICHIGAN’S ELECTION SOFTWARE IS PROGRAMMED TO AUTO-REGISTER ILLEGAL ALIENS TO VOTE

A whistleblower inside the Democrat Secretary of State’s office just blew the lid off.

Sheriff Dar Leaf reports: when a noncitizen (including illegal aliens) updates their address in the system, the software is coded to AUTOMATICALLY register them as voters… and even congratulate them.

Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon just confirmed on Newsmax: if true, it is “definitely out of whack with our federal election statutes” and DOJ is looking into it. Multiple investigations already open nationwide. They will not stop.

They told us noncitizen voting was a conspiracy theory. Now the software itself is the conspiracy.
