Venture Capital Is Provoking War with China
Lately, all that the top venture capitalists can talk about is nuclear bombs, China and communists. For example, the boss of Silicon Valley and our main culprit in the conspiracy we track here, Marc Andreessen, recently tweeted: “Please submit questions for an upcoming podcast by @bhorowitz and me on the topics of Oppenheimer, nuclear technology, Communism, and/or AI…” (I haven’t made it through the whole podcast since posted, as most of Marc’s podcasts run 2-3 hours, thanks for that.)
But he’s been taking the same talking points on the full tour media circuit, pretty much what you would expect: nuclear bombs are good, communists are bad, China is the WORST, obvious implication, we are aggravating military tension with China as a pretense to build weapons, and we are going to bomb the communists in the many countries in the global south we are currently trying to colonize via sovereign zones. The ramp up of nuclear war talk, militarized anti-China sentiment, and anti-Communist and “woke mind virus,” anti-academia rhetoric is absolutely spewing out of a16z, the biggest and most important VC firm, and has quickly spread across their portfolio companies, as well as other VC firms, and in the programmer base itself, which is being blasted continuously with this shit while being utterly under the boot of venture capital and is easily converted to both their whims and their ideologies.
Most concerningly, we see this language coming out of startups backed by a16z, Founder’s Fund, Lux Capital and the CIA’s venture capital firm, In-q-Tel. At these intersections we find massive concentrations of weapons and surveillance development. In particular, Anduril and Palantir, arguably the military and CIA of venture capital, has strong and escalating language coming out from conference stages, media interviews, social media and so on. The a16z book “The Kill Chain: Defending America in the Future of High Tech Warfare”, a manifesto on web 3.0 warfare by Anduril, spends most of the book talking about how we need to switch military development to venture capital because it is more innovative and agile than the existing military and this is needed to fight today’s threats; the main justification for this is about “deterrence” of China, and discusses both the possibility of nuclear arms, invasions on the US homeland, and the necessity of developing space warfare, as they expect eventually space will be yet another site of destruction and blood shed; this puts the massive efforts around space programs undergone by venture capital in a new light, especially since VC-produced military surveillance satellites are already being used in combat zones like Ukraine and the US/Mexico border… and those are just the ones we know about. Everything we are hearing abut the VC military is coming from what they say about it; we must assume a far more advanced vision and implementation than we might expect having just heard of it.
Venture capital has multiple motives for this. The most important one for the purposes on this post is that China’s technology development is their main competitor. Therefore, anything that can weaken China technologically is of great interest to them, to the point of provoking global tensions with nuclear consequences between nation-states. This is about money and power. What war is good for.
We similarly see this focus on aggression against China in another book out of a16z, “The Network State”, which heavily focuses on the dangers of losing a technical edge to China. In a word, venture capitalists are so afraid of China as a market competitor, that they are literally trying to aggravate tensions and potentially eventually war, with it. They perceive this competitive threat as being so great as to be existential. This is also a justification for them building out an entire armada of weapons startups — Hadrian, Toka, Skydio being among the lesser known; as well as engaging in their warped view of accelerationism, aka give us more money and cheap labor to make this thing go faster.
I think it’s important that we document this because this could go a very bad place, and admist what seems to be growing tensions, it is important to see that a great deal of provocation, fear mongering and aggravating of tensions with China, is coming out of venture capital and from my view, is leading the charge in this. Their material participation in these military developments and the propaganda that accompanies it, is essential historical documentation as we see particularly the military strategy being developed, forwarded and built by venture capital, as well as its endless wailing, crying and pissing about Communists; venture capital is a primary propellant of aggravating tensions with China and misleading the American public about its own true technological and military motives.
To this point, with significant and increasing rotating door between the Pentagon and a16z et al, as well as venture capitalist’s high-level access to the entire government apparatus, they are in a significant position of influence within the government itself to promote this agenda. One they directly benefit from in terms of opening up the purse strings for technology development, in particularly weapons, surveillance, AI and even crypto, with many both in the government and VC considering crypto competitiveness to be a matter of homeland security.
Further, since the bulk of this institution — the government etc — is technically illiterate, they will be happy and consider it logical and sensible to rely on the words of venture capital, the supposed definitive source on technological development; since all a16z does is lie, this makes me rather concerned that they will additionally lie and distort the facts about technological competitiveness in order to aggravate anxiety and tension. This becomes the pretense for the VC military build out as well as for a violent anti-Communist agenda, as well as huge infusions of military money.
To sum, it must go on the record that this specific group of people, was aggravating during this time, nuclear-level military tension between super powers, America and China.
They want America’s money to fight this one for them, while getting their own weapons fleet in return, and their own apparatus to crush the many countries they are eying for sites of sovereign zones for unregulated medical testing, freedom from taxation and regulation, recognition of the VC as a distributed sovereign nation, land, cheap labor, etc.
It cannot go unsaid, that through this progression, venture capitalists as a class, are now heavily armed with AI powered drone swarms, hyper advanced satellites, weapons manufacturing factories, and militarized artificial reality. Themselves, armed.
The VCs having weapons is a monumental sea change in their futures.
And ours.
