J. MICHAEL WALLER: No coherent US national strategy on dealing with China

from the show notes,

Waller explains how the Chinese Communist Party is racing to dominate AI by 2030, using intellectual property theft, influence operations, and psychological warfare to undermine American institutions from within. The discussion covers AI-driven espionage, Chinese industrial strategy, academic infiltration, TikTok-style data harvesting, and the risks of letting adversaries set global AI standards.

The episode also explores how Western complacency, libertarian blind spots, and the absence of a coherent national strategy have left the U.S. vulnerable—while China accelerates nuclear power development, robotics manufacturing, and AI-enabled influence campaigns.

20:02  The real issue with China is that there's no coherent national strategy.  It's we'll arrest whatever spies we can arrest.  The FBI can.  I'm very critical of the FBI but they do a good job with the doctrine that they have in the resources that they have but if you have a multi-trillion dollar wholesale dollar wholesale theft of almost all of our technological development and Industrial Development billion dollar organization with a sliver of which is devoted to counterintelligence dealing with this for just being dealing with this because we're just being ripped off at every turn and we don't even realize it until long after it's happened even though we know that it's happening.

20:52.  Before Reagan told Mr Gorbachev to tear down that wall there was so much behind the scenes leading up to it right you had Richard pipes and Condoleezza Rice essentially crafting this strategy to deal with the Soviet Union right they were de velopment they were developing this coherent strategy we need that Gathering of the brightest Minds on the subject behind the scenes I'm actually surprised given the fundamental understanding of the problem that the president seems to have that there isn't an effort going on.

21:27.  I can't explain certain things that are happening I'm not even going to try very hard.  If you look at his first term Trump 45 he had a coherent strategy on China for the most part he held the Chinese Communist Party accountable at least at least rhetorically for the China virus.  Remember he called it that and it was the Chinese regime

Whitney Webb on the Elites Trying to Enslave Human Beings

Stunning conversation with brilliant journalist. You will be glued to the screen: https://t.co/JmwOCCMW3M

I cannot stand Glenn Beck.  Mr. Vague, Mr. O-So-General.  Mr. Controlled Sincerity.  Mr. Soft-Peddling, Mr. Redirect you over here because getting too specific is scarwee.    

I liked what she said that the elites want to destroy the creative, productive energy in each of us to create a class of zombie workers.  And that by no stretch of the imagination is Klaus Schwab the only diabolical figure of his kind.  There are hundreds of organizations with a young cadre and who seek private/government relationships.  It's clear that the only people who have a chance at fighting back against the international gangsters who want to digitally and technically enslave us is the productive class.  If you produce something, then the burden falls on you to stop this desire by the elite to control every aspect of our lives to the point we end up as drone bees.

Quote from the Club of Rome is the biggest enemy of humanity is man.  And furthering that narrative, "it's not the corporations that pollute, even the U.S. military  by climate change metrics, the biggest contaminator is not about those guys, it's just about the 'regular' people."  It's really about controlling how much energy people can use.  And if you control how much energy a household can use, you control their economic activity and you also control how big their family can get.  Ultimately, that's what it's about: controlling all aspects of your life.  It's not about the environment with these people.  A lot of Climate Change is Wall St. driven.  If you look at the United Nations, a lot of the people they put in charge of Climate Change policy, you have Mark Carney, the former head of the Bank of England and of the Bank of Canada.  He's one of the guys that came into rescue HSBC when they were caught money laundering for Mexican drug cartels. Not exactly a "good buy" and unlikely that he's driven by concern about the environment.  And then the other person is Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York and billionaire guy, and these are the people crafting the solution to climate change?  Just like COVID, you don't have time to think about what we're telling you.  You just have to accept these solutions because if you don't, something really, really bad with happen.  It's fear-driven to get people to accept policies they otherwise wouldn't accept because they're told that this cataclysmic event is just down the line.  And "trust us" is the conclusion of these fear-driven programs.  Look for the messaging.  It usually sounds a lot like, "trust us.  We're the experts."  

There's people that agree with climate change, and people that don't.  Solutions to climate change are coming mostly from Wall St. in things like carbon markets.  There are things like debt for climate swaps, which back in the day used to be debt for land swaps.  Then you have Larry Fink of BlackRock and Michael Bloomberg and Mark Carney coming together in something like G fancing(?) why don't we give Wall Street direct control of the IMF and the World Bank for Climate Change?  How can anyone on the Left that's worried about Climate Change sign off on that?  Why don't they talk about planting trees?  Why isn't Bill Gates, the largest private landowner in the United States, planting trees like crazy if he is so worried about carbon dioxide?  He poo-poos the whole idea of planting trees to fight climate change.  It's just carbon markets and converting to electric vehicles, but electric vehicles necessitates mass mining for rare elements.
