#war #Trump contro il mondo, le crisi che ridisegnano il mondo
LEVANTE 03.02.2026 - Casa del Sole Tv
In questo approfondimento geopolitico esclusivo, analizziamo le crisi globali che stanno ridefinendo il mondo nel 2026. Sotto l'amministrazione Trump, gli USA lanciano operazioni audaci in Venezuela, sfidano la Cina sulle terre rare, pressano la Groenlandia e agitano l’Iran. È l'inizio di una nuova era di unilateralismo americano o il rischio di un conflitto mondiale?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZqdHR1dzVg

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?

Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

SpaceX Eyes 1 Million Satellites For Orbital Data Center Push

Not just thousands. In an FCC filing, the company mentions deploying up to a staggering 'one million satellites' in orbits ranging from 500 kilometers to 2,000km.

The Trump Administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review

The Trump Administration has created an exclusion for new experimental reactors being built at sites around the U.S. from a major environmental law.

The exclusion announcement comes just days after NPR revealed officials at the Department of Energy had secretly rewritten environmental, safety and security rules to make it easier for the reactors to be built.

trump is a fool and a very dangerous one.

The irony of this photo — A border patrol 'agent' hiding behind a face covering & hat while scanning a commuter's face on the road.

I am taking the time to post this entire article to highlight how #DHS / #ICE uses emerging, #privacy -breeching tech to identify & target regular people– potentially undocumented individuals AND #US citizens exercising their 1st Amendment right to express their grievances about such behavior as they observe & record it.

It is also "using cellphone & social media tools to monitor people's online activity & potentially hack into phones." 👀

In April, the Homeland Security Department awarded Palantir a nearly $30 million contract to build a system backed by artificial intelligence that would help find and track individuals for deportation. Palantir was due to deliver a prototype by Sept. 25, according to public tenders issued by the agency. The agency has started using the system, two current Homeland Security officials said.
A person familiar with Palantir said the company works with ICE on a database that integrates different information to help agents identify only noncitizens.
In September, the Homeland Security Department also spent nearly $10 million acquiring at least three social media monitoring tools and services that allow it to delve into people's cellphones, according to procurement records and public contracts for the project.

One of the tools, which was built by Paragon, an Israeli technology company, lets people take control of phones or remotely hack into them to read messages or track locations. The others were built by Penlink, a Nebraska-based software company.
They use social media data scraped from the web and information from data brokers to help build dossiers of anyone with a social media account.
Some details of these tools were reported earlier by 404 Media. Paragon and Penlink did not respond to requests for comment.

ICE's use of facial recognition software was documented in videos and photos from local activist groups in Minnesota this month and reviewed by The Times. Two photos captured fatigue-clad agents using cellphones to scan the faces of protesters in Minneapolis, while in one video, agents could be heard telling people that they were being recorded with facial recognition technology and that their faces would be added to a database.

On the morning of Jan. 10, Nicole Cleland was in her car trailing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent through Richfield, Minn., her hometown.
Suddenly, the agent turned into a series of one-way streets and stopped, getting out of his white Dodge Ram, said Ms. Cleland, who volunteers with a local watchdog group that observes the activity of immigration officers.
The agent then walked over to Ms.
Cleland's car and surprised her by addressing her as Nicole.
"He said he had facial recognition and that his body camera was on," said Ms.
Cleland, 56, who had not met the agent before.

Facial recognition is just one technology tool that ICE has deployed in Minneapolis, where thousands of agents are conducting a crackdown.

And agents are tapping into a database, built by the data analytics company Palantir, that combines government and commercial data to identify realtime locations for individuals they are pursuing, the current and former officials said.
"The technologies are being deployed, or appear to be deployed, in a much more aggressive way than we have seen in the past," said Nathan Freed Wessler, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, which has sued the Homeland Security Department over the immigration operation in Minneapolis. "The conglomeration of all these technologies together is giving the government unprecedented abilities."

Update. The American Enterprise Institute ( #AEI) defends the #Trump compact and offers some improvements.
https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/the-trump-administrations-higher-education-compact-eight-proposals-for-delivering-on-its-vision/

After the compact was introduced (Oct 2025), "a rough consensus emerged that the Trump administration had identified crucial problems but that its solution needed work. This project is an attempt to do some of that work."

By "rough consensus" I suppose AEI means "rough consensus of the people and orgs we read." If so, take that as a sign of how it reads.
