PENTAGON FUNDING FOR A.I., BITCOIN, DOLLARIZATION, AND SPACE

You may think I've taken complete leave of my senses, or that I might be just a few flies short of a happy meal, or that my mental transmission is missing a few teeth in the gears and tends to slip a lot, after reading the headline of this blog. After all, what possibly could the Pentagram Pentagon, artificial intelligence, the klepto-currency known as Bitcoin, "dollarization", and space have to do with each other?

The answer to that question is contained in this article shared by E.E. (who has our gratitude for doing so). And after reading this article, you may understand why I had difficulty assigning it one of our category tabs: was it primarily about Babylon's Bankster? Or about The Cosmic War? Or Calling it Conspiracy? or "You tell me?" Maybe even "transhumanism?"  Well, I picked "Cosmic War":

Fluidstack in talks for $5 billion Pentagon AI infrastructure loan: WSJ

I contend that the connections are fully revealed in the first and penultimate paragraphs of the article, but in case those connections are not clear, I'll try to spell them out for you in the midst of my high octane speculation of the day. Here's that all-important first paragraph:

Fluidstack is in talks(opens in new tab) with the Pentagon for a $5 billion loan to finance AI infrastructure, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The prospective facility would put federal capital behind an AI cloud company whose data-center commitments already feed directly into multiple former Bitcoin miners powered land sites.

And then there's the penultimate paragraph:

The order directed the Commerce Department to develop an initiative that could offer financial support through loans and loan guarantees, grants, tax incentives and offtake agreements. Separately, it authorized the Defense Department to find appropriate military sites for covered infrastructure while observing security and force-protection requirements.

So, firstly note that all  of this is for "an AI cloud company", and when one says "in the cloud" one basically means one of three things: (1) all that virtual financial data bouncing around on the internet cables between gateway computers and  banks, financial institutions, brokerage houses, commodities brokers &c; (2) all that financial data bouncing around between the same entities on those satellites orbiting the planet above; and (3) all that data bouncing around between those same entities, between the ground and "up there", with the heavy emphasis on the "up there."

So we have "dollars" and "space" as the first components of our high octane speculation of the day. Now, with so much money in play and at stake, it is only natural that your local East India Company Penragram Pentagon/military headquarters will want to buy a few cannon-toting cargo ships found a "space force" and equip them with stylish fascist-looking uniforms to protect their chartered cartel arrangements with a private company to protect said assets, while coming up with a clever scheme to keep the dollar relevant by making it the currency-of-choice for buying the planets most popular crypto- klepto-currency. And to track all of this, including any hard space assets, and to make sure everyone is playing by the rules, we're going to need an awful lot of A.I., some of which has to be on those space based platforms to keep them away from any revolting people (double entendre intended).

Oh... and we'll also need that whole architecture if we want to go out and mine asteroids worth quadrillions of dollars to cover all that bad paper we plutoligarchs and technobillibusybodynaires created in the derivatives crisis, or claim to have done it, and all the more so if we intend to tokenize all those hard assets we've mined (or claim to have mined). And mark your calendars and come join us at our next clambake in Davos, where the motto will be: Ain't fraud fun?

See you on the flip side...
