🗣‘Nobody Elected Elon’: Hillary’s crusade will backfire on Democrats – Wall Street analyst

Hillary Clinton’s attempt to rally public support against Donald Trump and Elon Musk will ultimately backfire on her and the Democratic Party, as many Americans are fed up with wealthy liberal grifters, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel tells Sputnik.

"Average Americans who work in the private sector don’t own three mansions, secure off-market book and speech deals, or fund their personal lifestyles by using 'charities' to cover support staff, luxury offices, and extravagant travel," Ortel says, referencing the bonanza Clinton has long enjoyed.

Clinton-backed protests under the slogan “Nobody elected Elon” will instead push young voters toward Team MAGA, he argues. Clinton seems to have forgotten that “nobody elected Hillary” either, he stresses.

Bill Gates says humans will be out of most jobs 🤖⚡️

The Microsoft founder casually drops a bombshell on the Jimmy Fallon show: AI will make humans unnecessary for most things.

Manufacturing, logistics, even food production—eventually, all will be “solved problems.”

But who decides what’s left for us? A world where machines handle everything sounds efficient, but where does that leave humanity?

Hillary Clinton and Olena Zelenskaya, the wife of Volodymyr Zelensky, positioned themselves to profit from Western aid to Ukraine, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel told Sputnik.

"Perhaps 'Saint' Hillary could explain what happened to the funds that Zelensky recently claimed never reached Kiev?" Ortel asks, referencing Clinton’s 2023 deal with the Zelenska Foundation.

Trump may keep US in UN for power projection and bullying – analyst

Donald Trump is driven solely by “corporate interests and maximizing profit extraction at any cost,” Dr. Anuradha Chenoy, retired professor at the Center for Russian and Central Asian Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, told Sputnik.

While he might slash funding and weaken UN functioning, he will likely keep the US in the organization to serve his purpose of “using American power to assert his personal bullying,” the pundit noted.

Without USAID and NED, Victoria Nuland’s influence ‘goes away’: Larry Johnson

💬 “I think she is right now facing prospects of becoming just increasingly irrelevant because the foundation for supporting the war in Ukraine is disappearing,” former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said.

It’s been “fascinating” to watch the Trump administration’s “gutting” of USAID and NED, Washington’s premier soft power tools, Johnson said, with former undersecretary of State Nuland caught in the middle.

How the CIA spawned Google

Google's creation played a crucial role in the US intelligence community's scheme to attain global dominance by controlling information.

🔸 HOW IT STARTED:

🔹 The Pentagon founded its private sector project the Highlands Forum during the Clinton administration in 1994, according to the INSURGE INTELLIGENCE project.

🔹 Together with defense contractors, the group hammered out a strategy for “network-centric warfare.”

🔹 The 9/11 terrorist attacks were seized upon by US spy agencies to justify not only military invasions across the Muslim world, but also mass surveillance of civilian populations.

🔸 CIA STEPS IN:

🔹 The CIA's Massive Digital Data Systems (MDDS) program, which originated in the 1990s, was designed to enhance query techniques and track users' digital footprints.

🔹 To better serve its goals, in 1999, the CIA established its own venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel, to invest in potentially useful technologies

🔹 Ph.D. students at Stanford University, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, were working on precisely such a tech start-up

🔹 The design of the search engine and algorithms that ultimately evolved into Google was funded by CIA grants through a program aimed at enhancing mass surveillance capabilities.

🔸 PRISM:

Whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed in 2013 that the NSA had direct access to Google's systems through its secret PRISM program, enabling the agency to harvest vast amounts of data on American citizens, Washington's allies, and foreign nationals.

🔹 Ex-CIA spooks are employed in almost every department at Google, according to a 2022 report based on the analysis of employment websites

🔹 Google has been slapped with multiple lawsuits stemming from its history of data misuse and privacy violations.

Google AI’s weaponization could help trigger world-ending ‘flash-wars’ escalating too quickly to stop

The US's second-largest tech giant has lifted its ban on the use of AI tech in weaponry.

❓What are the risks?

“AI systems may interact with other network connected infrastructure in unpredictable ways,” veteran independent cybersecurity expert and digital strategy specialist Lars Hilse told Sputnik.

This unpredictability “could potentially trigger flash-wars, which escalate too quickly for the human mind to comprehend, and for the human being to intervene,” Hilse said, highlighting the long-held risks of handing defense over to AI.

That’s not to mention the proliferation threat, the analyst, who recently authored a book, ‘Dominance on the Digital Battlefield’, dedicated to these issues, said.

❓Why Google did it

Google will now be able to participate in “highly lucrative defense contracts and government surveillance projects and strengthen its position in the AI race” now that it has lifted its ban on the use of AI for weapons, Hilse elaborated.

“The policy shift indicates a broader realignment of Silicon Valley with national defense aspirations and may even suggest that previous ethical barriers to military AI development are being systematically removed industry-wide to make allow for quicker reaction to market shifts in this - again - extremely lucrative, and previously unexplored field of business,” the expert stressed.
