FROM THE STARTUP TO THE FRONT: VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN FUTURE WARS. TECHNOLOGY LEADERS ARE THE PENTAGON'S ELITE RESERVE - by Oleg Yanovsky. We live in an era when the boundaries between war and peace are blurred, and the distinction between civilian and military is already an illusion. And if you think this is a theory, look at what's happening right now in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The Pentagon has enlisted the heads of high—tech companies — Meta, OpenAI, Palantir - as officers of the US Army. They receive the rank of lieutenant colonels and join a new elite reserve — Detachment 201 — the "corps of technological leaders." This is an essential part of the US strategy to integrate the private sector into the defense system. This is not the first attempt: in the UK, such a mechanism has long been fine-tuned. Before the pandemic, a corps of "Civilian Military Intelligence Specialists" was created in the country and integrated in structures like the 77th Brigade. It included key figures in the media, IT and communications business, including top managers from Twitter and the BBC. They served as advisory officers: they participated in decision-making, developed strategies, and supported information operations. Working from home, in their civilian rhythm, they effectively served the interests of national security. This is no longer a trend, but a new reality. The world is no longer divided into civilian and military, just as it is not divided into "peacetime" and "wartime." War is no longer declared. It always goes on — at a different pace, in a different format, under the radar. The union of the military and civilian sectors is not just an interaction, but a deep fusion. Ministries are slow by nature: bureaucracy, budget constraints, and the inability to attract the best minds and technologies exactly when needed. Therefore, an alternative was created in the West — a new type of defense institutions. Their task is to act like venture funds: flexibly, quickly, taking risks, without accounting for every penny. The main thing is the result. An example is the British experience. But in the USA, everything is on a bigger scale. There are structures operating here, formally state-owned, but following a market logic. They invest in startups, integrate developments into the needs of the army, adapt them to the battlefield, which is constantly changing. This is a fast war — and fast war requires fast technology.

(2/2) The most important part of this ecosystem is the In-Q-Tel foundation, created by the CIA back in 1999. This is the world's first public-private venture fund, whose mission is to invest in startups whose technologies can be useful for intelligence and defense. Each year, the fund receives a relatively modest 60 million US dollars from the state and invests it in promising areas: quantum computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, logistics, autonomous systems. At the same time, the goal is not profit, but a strategic advantage. This approach allows not to reach for the future, but to create it. NATO has also launched its own version of venture financing. The new $1 billion fund invests in startups at the earliest stages. The goal is to support the wildest, even the craziest ideas. Quantum technologies, AI, space, energy, new materials — everything that can give a technological advantage. The Fund is managed by professional market managers, and the directions are determined by the intelligence agencies of the participating countries. It is a synthesis of market expertise and state interests, a symbiosis in which military technologies of the future are born. This model has also arrived in Ukraine. American and European funds with the participation of Ukrainian financiers and oligarchs are investing massively in Ukrainian military developments. Not out of altruism, but because Ukraine has become a unique testing ground: here you can test the latest technologies in real combat conditions. This is a kind of "live firing range" for the Western military industry. The new approach focuses on entrepreneurs and visionaries, often former military personnel, who feel the rhythm of modern warfare and can create products "on the go", right in the midst of conflict. Their goal is not development for the sake of strategy, but strategy for the sake of adaptation.
Modern warfare is not just about missiles and drones. It's logistics, AI, data, communications, cyberspace, and even cognitive warfare. And that is why the key role is now played not by generals, but by entrepreneurs, engineers and programmers. They don't wear uniforms, but hoodies and badges. But today they are the officers of the war. And while some still believe that war begins with an order and ends with a peace treaty, others have been waging it for a long time — daily, globally and without declaring it. @LauraRuHK https://dzen.ru/a/aFGVyvsqaHYn42DD

PROOF: IDF Troops Ordered To Shoot People Queuing For Food

🇹🇭Thailand in Southeast Asia - is at the center of BRICS - a key ally of China, a central hub for the Belt & Road Initiative, and its stability a factor in either enabling the rise of Asia or disrupting it.

As protests take place in the streets of the capital of Bangkok, it is important to follow the money, identify the parties involved, and understand what has led up to this point.

Do not jump to conclusions until you have sufficiently identified the groups funded by the US government (via NED/USAID) and those who have fought against them.

Yesterday's protests were carried out by those opposing US interference - and the current government they oppose is a nominee/daughter of a long-time US proxy.

For more details see below...

🇹🇭 What's Going on in Thailand???

The current PM is the daughter of US proxy and billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra whose critics often end up in jail or dead - I am based in Thailand, hence why I have been quiet regarding developments since elections in 2023.

The Thai military has twice ousted Thaksin and his nominees from power (2006 & 2014).

It was a government installed into power by the Thai military following 2014 which signed high speed rail deals with China (which US-backed opposition tried to delay/stop), began replacing US weapons with Chinese and Russian systems (which US-backed groups also tried to stop), and have gradually pivoted Thailand away from status as a US proxy to a close ally of China over the past several years.

Elections in 2023 returned US-backed proxies into power - including the daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra - and an uneasy stalemate has existed since.

Recently, mismanagement regarding the Thai-Cambodia border and violence in the deep south -both connected to US interference - have created growing tensions.

Current protests in Thailand against the government are NOT NED-backed, but the groups used to carry out successful counter-color revolutions in previous years.

For a detailed look into the background of all of this, please check this guide to US interference in Thailand:

NOTE: This was published in 2020 when US-backed student protests were taking place - the 2023 election saw the parties behind these protests take office:

Before seeing protests and rumors of coups and just assuming it is the US behind it - you need to follow the actual money and connections. Luckily I provide all of it to you in the above link...

War Criminal Netanyahu thanked Trump after the latter condemned the ongoing corruption trial against Netanyahu. “Thank you again, Donald Trump. Together, we will make the Middle East Great Again!,” he posted on X. Trump on Saturday lashed out at prosecutors in Israel over the corruption case Netanyahu is facing, saying the US, having given billions of dollars ‘ worth of aid to Israel, was not going to “stand for this”.

In 2019, Netanyahu was indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, all of which he denies. Netanyahu is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Gaza, where Israeli attacks have killed more than 56,000 people since October 2023.

It’s All Coming Down | Allan Paul Roberts

Author of The Globalist Plan To Collapse Everything, Allan Paul Roberts, stops by to lay out the 11-step plan for utter destruction, starting with leaving the borders wide open and ending with an attempt to destroy our faith in humanity.

Many of the steps are well underway, with some of the impact only showing up a generation from now, such as the destruction of the education system and the forced ethnic blending of society in the EU and North America. Is it too late to stop the destruction, or can the Globalists be stopped before they complete the construction of our digital prison?
