Remember my music video "Empty Shelves" from last year? It's back on the menu...

A continued 20% reduction in the global supply of energy will have at least a 10% contraction in the global GDP. That's THREE TIMES WORSE than COVID. Modern economists agree (but old school Keynesian economists are clueless...)

Last week, a massive fire broke out at a warehouse in Ontario, California, the latest in a disturbing trend of arson attacks on commercial infrastructure. From Starlink dishes destined for Ukraine to suspected ICE facilities, warehouses are becoming targets. The arrested suspect, reportedly a worker, gave a statement about being denied a 'living wage.' In my view, while that anguish is real, it tragically misdiagnoses the disease. We are not witnessing mere criminal acts or labor disputes; we are seeing the visible sparks of a system-wide collapse. The real arsonist isn't a desperate individual -- it's a government that has spent decades systematically burning the value of our money through endless printing. The theft isn't from a warehouse shelf; it's from your paycheck, your savings, and your future.

I believe these flames are a predictable symptom of a deeper, more profound sickness: the engineered theft of prosperity via currency debasement. When a government can create money from nothing to fund foreign wars and corporate bailouts, it steals the honest labor of its citizens. The warehouse worker's cry is a human response to an inhuman system. His frustration is justified, but his target is wrong. The outrage should be aimed at the Federal Reserve and the political machinery that enables it, not the physical structures that house the dwindling fruits of our labor.

The leftist narrative, amplified by captured media, screams that the solution is mandating higher wages. This is a dangerous diversion. It misses the fundamental mechanism of the theft: currency debasement. The government, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has printed trillions of dollars out of thin air. This isn't abstract economics; it's a direct, deliberate tax on every dollar you hold. As the book End the Fed argues, 'Diluting the value of the dollar by increasing its supply is a vicious, sinister tax on the poor and middle class.' No legislated wage hike can outrun a central bank's printing press.

If you read any new social post from Trump and believe even a single word of it, then look in the mirror and loudly repeat, "IQ 75! IQ 75! IQ 75!" because that's what you have become: A complete and total idiot who is incapable of thinking critically at even the most basic level, even after being tricked dozens of times by the same person telling the exact same lies over and over again.

Here's a video LOTS of people need to see today, after they totally humiliated themselves yesterday by believing Trump's claims that Iran has capitulated and agreed to fully open the Strait of Hormuz forever... It all collapsed in hours, and it turns out Trump was just manipulating oil markets yet again. Seriously, who is dumb enough to keep falling for the same ploy over and over again?

Here's the truth:
NOTHING Trump Claims is Ever True

Here's the full video: Nothing Trump says is true. He lies repeatedly, contradicts himself within MINUTES, and gets repeatedly exposed as pushing pure fantasy, and yet there are still people dumb enough to believe everything he says.

Let’s be blunt: the replacement of human labor and cognition is the stated goal, not an unfortunate side effect. The architects behind AI systems are fully aware these technologies will eventually replace human labor across a wide range of tasks. We’re already seeing early signs, with projections that 70-80% of physical labor and half of white-collar jobs will vanish in the years ahead. From my perspective, this isn’t about efficiency; it’s about power. Elon Musk himself, making his debut at the World Economic Forum, spoke of a future with “more robots than people”. The technocratic vision is clear: a world where human cognitive labor holds negative value.

The consequence is a ‘surplus humanity’ -- billions with no economic purpose in the eyes of the elite. This is not a side effect; it’s the core of the plan. As I’ve stated in my own reports, within a decade, approximately half of the global population -- around 4 billion people -- will become obsolete due to automation. What happens to a person stripped of their ability to contribute, to provide, to find dignity in work? Mass despair is the inevitable result, and that despair is not a bug in the system -- it’s a feature. A broken, dependent population is far less likely to resist. It’s a recipe for engineered social breakdown, paving the way for the ‘solutions’ the elite are already rolling out.

Society is nine meals away from anarchy, and the world's fertilizer supplies are partially cut off right now, with prices of remaining supplies surging 300% for many farmers. Crop yields will begin to plummet, and we are currently eating through the last "easy" food we'll see for years to come...

Chris Helali interview on the rise of robotics and the future of human labor (being largely replaced)...

Major breakthrough. I developed code to create infographics with near-perfect text spelling LOCALLY, on local hardware, through a unique iterative process.

Ignore the actual content of this sample infographic (the prompt was just a sample prompt) but notice the near-perfect spelling. This was generated on my own hardware, using 100% open source software and custom code.

Master Foo Koff has a new message for Donald Trump.

Here's another example of near-perfect text in infographic rendering on my local GPUs. This nearly matches Google Nano Banana Pro in terms of accuracy, yet it uses only open source models and self-correcting iteration involving OCR. The process is slow but extremely accurate in the final result:
