What a lot of these Silicon Valley guys are trying to do is, after hedging and taking tons of Chinese money for years, pivot to pretend to be on Uncle Sam’s side. It might be too late.
The Biden administration has been blocking their exits for some time now, and another one closed yesterday, with the new EO on cybersecurity and Chinese investment.
As I said months ago, the major misdirection by the right with respect to China is to say “but TikTok!” I’m all for banning TikTok. But the rot is deeper. Look at how the WSJ reported on this group of people in March:
A group of Silicon Valley executives, including investor Peter Thiel, and Washington lawmakers are quietly mobilizing against China’s involvement in the U.S. tech industry ahead of TikTok Chief Executive Shou Zi Chew’s Capitol Hill testimony next week.
Momentum against TikTok is building. The U.S. government and a succession of other Western countries have blocked TikTok on government-issued devices. The Biden administration has demanded that TikTok’s Chinese owners sell their stakes in the video-sharing app or face a possible U.S. ban. On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department is investigating the surveillance of American journalists by TikTok’s Chinese owners.
…
The group is calling itself the Hill & Valley Forum, and plans to speak about its concerns about China at the coming dinner, which is expected to draw approximately 200 attendees. The dinner was paid for by venture-capital firms 137 Ventures and Founders Fund, as well as Mr. Helberg.
…
TikTok executives have said they wouldn’t give in to demands from China, and have been touting a plan to reorganize the company’s U.S. operations in a new unit that would be charged with safeguarding the app in an attempt to appease lawmakers’ concerns.
As a part of TikTok’s plan, Oracle Corp. and other third-party monitors would review the code related to how TikTok selects which videos to serve to users, as well as access to users’ data.
None of this works. Absolutely none of it.
Oracle is Israeli. We cannot let the Israelis manage this stuff, not with Benjamin Netanyahu trying to hedge himself between the U.S. and China.
Jacob Helberg was appointed to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission by Speaker McCarthy, who has let Chinese spies into the California Republican Party.
If you look at his family history, he definitely looks like one of these Likud types, his grandparents were involved in resettling refuseniks. The government recognizes him to be in a marital relationship with Keith Rabois, a Netanyahu fanboy with a grooming problem, and the ceremony solemnizing it was officiated by the Chisraeli Sam Altman, founder of the biggest bullshit engine going, OpenAI.
Microsoft arranged what is basically a payout to Altman when OpenAI changed structure.
Rabois and Helberg are all promoting Founders Fund, which has major security risks too, some of which we’ve discussed.
Netanyahu himself has talked about salting Silicon Valley with assets from Russia, this is very much a thing.
All of this is a risk until Israel comes on-side.
Helberg’s cousin is the Big Bang actor Simon Helberg, and his sister is involved with the film business.
If you look at Jacob Helberg’s resume, he looks like a construct. He goes from campaign consultant, to VC founder, to China expert, with a stint running Google’s anti-disinformation team during the Trump years. What is all this about?
And if you look at how he talks about the China issue, he’s clearly redirecting it in all these totally useless ways. He is also well positioned to spy on the genuine opponents of China.
This guy is no good.
The lens I use when I look at these tech people in Silicon Valley, is that they’re trying to replace humanity, because they don’t like it very much. That these projects play on the resentments of nerds is very much the point. That’s why it’s powerful.
The chrome eyeballs are being made in Germany, and Masha Drokova, Putin’s Charlie Kirk, was involved in the early stages. She was also reportedly involved with the Praxis Society.
For heaven’s sake, don’t look into the chrome eyeball! Don’t accept the UBI! Don’t accept the check from the genetic reparations scheme! Your very soul is at stake.
Are you with the humans, or the robots? Do you want to live in the Metaverse, or the United States of America?
I watch Helberg speak and my intuition tells me this is the Chinese replacing the Americans with gay space fascists.
