    PS Canada's navy is barely adequate for coastal protection with a few frigates and 4 subs. And the upcoming River class "Destroyers" might be useful for a convoy escort, but cannot protect itself well with an anemic 24 cell Mk41. A first rate destroyer has 72-96 VLS tubes. BTW the US yards are backlogged so feel free to order some Japanese Maya class DDGs if you don't want to buy American. The Korean Sejong the Great class are rad. So are the UK Type 45s or the 83s when they get built. Even Australia's 20 year old destroyers will outclass what Canada is building.

    Got moved to polyass. Which I can no longer access on the TRG app, which is probably a good thing.

    Ok well hate to do this here but it’s kinda eating at me to share. And this seems the crowd for this info. Plus the Elon thread is gone as noted above.
    A friend at Google told me about this and hes someone I completely trust on tech related news. In which he said their company is also sending out the ‘fork in the road’ resignation emails now.. this is not my friend below - my friend made me aware of this industry insider , Conrad. I welcome thoughts from others who might be ‘in the know’.

    Source: Conrad Goehausen
    [Columbia University grad - tech guy. He’s outwardly posting on FB, you can read more there]

    ——————————

    I thought people might like to know what Elon Musk and Trump have planned for the country, and it's shocking that no one is talking about their real agenda here. All we see are threats to completely end so many government programs and agencies and spending, seemingly as simple hatred of government and retribution to those who opposed Trump or didn't vote for him, along with massive cruelty to all sorts of people, from immigrants to people who rely on government benefits. Terrible as that is, it's not what's really going on.

    Musk's plan, that he's convinced Trump to commit to, is to transform the entire way our government works, by running it as a giant series of AI programs.

    No, that's not science fiction, and it's not me going paranoid crazy. It's what Musk is planning to do. And fast.

    Musk has been building giant AI programs and massive AI computing centers for years now. He just finished building Colossus in Tennessee, the world's largest AI computing center. Colossus was just launched in September 2024. It's a part of Musk's xAI company, which he intends to use to completely revamp how the federal government works. All these reductions in the federal workforce and bureaucracy are a prelude to putting the entire government in the hands of his AI company, and other subcontractors.

    This is technofascism on a massive scale. Musk intends to make trillions from this, and probably give Trump a piece of the pie. Would that be illegal? Sure, but Trump can't be prosecuted for this, thanks to the Supreme Court's rulings. He has immunity even to charges of bribery.

    I think this explains Musk's huge role in Trump's government, and his focus on DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which by executive order has been given immense power across the government at every level.

    Trump could never do any of this on his own, much less even think of it. But Musk has dreamed of this for decades, and he has convinced Trump to back it to the hilt.

    In the next few months, were going to see it happen. It won't be noticed at first, because it's quite complex and our journalists and media are cowered by fear and narrowness of vision. But it's already happening. And this explains the outer confusion as to what Trump is planning, what his end game is. Turns out it's not Trump's end game, it's Musk's. And Musk is way ahead of everyone on this.

    Call me crazy if you like, but this is what's really happening behind the scenes. Trump will say all kinds of crazy shit to distract from it, do crazy things as well, but this is the real program. Don't get caught up in all the cruelty and threats and BS being thrown about. That's bad enough, but it's not the real point.

    Turning the government of the United States into a technofascist AI kleptocracy that enriches the investor class even more is the point. And this is why all the techno-oligarchs like Bezos and Zuckerberg and Ellison are all now gung-ho Trumpers. They will get even richer themselves through the AI government programs Musk will oversee.

    Trump himself is just a distraction from the real powers remaking our country. A simple pawn enriching himself in the process of turning democracy into a computer algorithm controlled by the techno-oligarchs.

    Don't say you weren't warned.

    I was wondering if it might have gone there but i couldn’t access PA either. It asked for my password but wouldn’t accept the one I use for trg and I wasn’t about to screw around with a reset and getting completely locked out

    Since Elmo the clown can’t even get his cars to self drive , this will be an enormous train wreck. Although , I’m sure there’s a bit of truth there as Thiel is a big advocate for a “Network Government” that would completely reset how things are done

    That's both crazy and stupid and therefore seems a little more plausible than I would have thought, say, a year ago. Kind of like how Musk keeps letting his customers kill themselves with "Full Self Driving" - he doesn't care if a few eggs get broken to make his omelet. Still...gonna need a source besides TGR. Surely one of his interns can be plied with wine and women until he spills the beans, right?

    On the app it doesn’t prompt for a password, so no bueno for me. But if you get a prompt, the old PA password was ‘yes’ or ‘Yes’.

    I love how they don’t give a shit at how much leverage having the dollar as the global currency standard gives us and the corresponding immense benefit of that for the US

    Not sure I understand. PayPal was intended to be a form of bank, not currency, right? How would it replace the USD?

    There's no doubt that foreign agents are thinking exactly that about Musk's Shitler Youth. Bunch of kids with no government experience all of a sudden have access to shitloads of classified material.

    The combined defense and armed forces of Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and the U.S. conducted a Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific. It would be awesome to see Canada participate in this too:

    I was a bit surprised by some of the glee I saw posted on FB about the anti trans EO he signed yesterday.

    A smart guy once said don’t make policy based on exceptions or outliers

    These people can’t seem to stop shouting about liberal tears, etc. it really is all about the vindictiveness for some. Talk about a manufactured issue

    It's pathetic someone would post shit on any car. If that happened to a Muslim after 9/11, a Jewish person, or any other similar demographic, people would be hung out to dry.

    Gotta get over the xenophobia, but it's a double standard.

    "We will not let Trump devide us." I guess Americans and Canadians are joined by a shared inability to spell basic words

    Uhm... what?

    There absolutely was an immediate and lasting backlash against any/all people from the middle east. Religious & racial profiling, discrimination, (Trump' Muslim ban 15 years later!), and even hate crimes. Mosques were vandalized all over the country. The FBI reported that rate of anti-Muslim hate crimes increased five fold.

    But that was a lie told by liberal media funded by us aid. It's a good thing that those hate crime FBI agents are being fired because they didn't work any way. Check mate, bro!

    Ted,

    I know, and that’s why it ain’t cool if a Canadian does it to a white ass American. It’s all the same bullshit.
