Global Empire Dashboard

We Are Closed. Australia has become corrupted by a corrosive mix of nihilism and embraced a radical liberal ideology that celebrates the rejection of anything from the past that could stabilise society including any inheritance of previous forms of culture. You just have to look at the abuse thrown towards our staff in the past few years to realise this, what is old is no longer deemed necessary & indeed something that must be replaced. We had no choice but to close.

🧠 Game Theory and the Coming Middle East War. Chaos becomes a ladder when every Rational Move Leads to Disaster

🇮🇷 1. Iran, Set the Trap

Goal: Regime survival, U.S. expulsion, Islamic leadership.

  • 🎯 Unify the nation through external threat.
  • 🧱 Provoke escalation slowly via proxies and regional chaos.
  • 🕳️ Lure U.S. forces into an unwinnable ground war.

Iran’s best move is to appear weak and force the hegemon to overreact turning U.S. power against itself.

🇮🇱 2. Israel, Create the Vacuum

Goal: Regional supremacy, strategic expansion.

  • 🛡️ Eliminate threats (Iran, Hezbollah, American restraint).
  • 🏗️ Trigger U.S. collapse in the region to open a power vacuum.
  • 🪖 Fill the void with Israeli-aligned assets and military superiority.

The worse the war goes for America, the better it goes for Israeli long-term regional dominance.

🦅 3. The American Empire, Control Without Cost

Goal: Regime change, oil access, strategic containment of rivals.

  • ✈️ Use airpower and sanctions, avoid ground troops at all costs.
  • 💰 Project dominance to reassure allies and markets.
  • ⛓️ Avoid another Iraq quagmire means collapse of global credibility.

The Empire wants victory without war but its credibility forces it to escalate once challenged.

🎌 4. MAGA, Burn the Empire to Save the Nation

Goal: Trump’s return, deep state purge, political resurrection.

  • 🔥 Let the Empire overextend in a doomed invasion.
  • ⚔️ Exploit backlash at home: protests, chaos, draft panic.
  • 🏛️ Seize power domestically by “standing with the people” against endless war.

MAGA’s best move isn’t to stop the war it’s to let it crash, then claim the wreckage.

💥 Where All Four Overlap: Ground Invasion of Iran

Despite wildly different goals, every actor benefits from escalation until the whole system breaks. That’s the game theory paradox:

Each move makes sense individually. Together, they form a disaster.

iPhones, Teslas, the Next Big “Made in China” thing could be Starlink Satellites. Will Beijing Target SpaceX as the Cold War Heats Up in Low Earth Orbit?

SpaceX’s Starlink relies heavily on rare earth elements (REEs) like dysprosium, terbium, and samarium for the permanent magnets in its phased-array antennas, electric thrusters, and high-frequency communications. China controls ~90% of global magnet production & REE separation capacity

🚨 How China Could Force SpaceX’s Hand

📉 Constellation Collapse Clock Is Ticking

Without new satellites, Starlink begins to deorbit itself naturally. Most satellites last 5–6 years. With no replacements, service begins failing by 2030, and the entire constellation could go dark by 2035.

🧲 No Magnets, No Satellites

Starlink’s phased-array antennas, Hall-effect thrusters, and E-band transceivers require NdFeB magnets that depend on rare earths China now controls.

🌏 China’s “Made in China” Playbook

China could demand onshore manufacturing, as it did with Tesla’s Gigafactory. By offering “magnet access” in exchange for satellite assembly in China, turning Starlink into a Made-in-China product.

🎯 Strategic Leverage

Starlink isn’t just broadband it’s become a geopolitical asset, supporting Ukraine’s military and backed by U.S. DoD contracts. China views Starlink as a dual-use threat, and forcing production relocation helps neutralize its control while boosting China’s satellite know-how.

Final Word

If China tightens the screws on rare earth exports, Elon Musk may face a choice:
Build Starlink satellites in China or watch his constellation burn up in the atmosphere.

“I Don’t Pay for Ads, I AM the Ad!” 🔥Elon Musk true value to Tesla is BILLIONS in Free Advertising. GM & Ford can’t Buy what Elon sells

While GM and Ford spend $600–$700 on ads just to sell one car, Tesla skips the entire bill and still dominates headlines.

💰 Legacy Carmakers Bleed Ad Dollars

🧠 Tesla Spends $0 and Still Wins

  • Until 2023, Tesla’s ad budget was literally $0.
  • Instead of buying airtime, Musk tweets, memes, and goes viral.

🚀 Elon’s Mouth = Marketing Machine

  • Smoking weed on Rogan, launching cars into space, tweeting “69,420” prices every moment is free global PR.
  • His brand fuels Tesla’s brand. The result? Tesla trends. Constantly.

👥 Owners Sell Teslas For Him

  • With referral bonuses and rabid fans, Tesla’s community does the advertising for free.
  • No TV spots. No dealerships. Just hype, headlines, and hardware. 💯

They Said it was Invisible, but the Serbians Shot It Down! A Stealth F-117 jet in 1999 & the B-2’s are even Easier. MUCH Bigger Radar. Believe Me.

🛰️ F-117 Was Stealthy — But Not Enough

  • Shot down in 1999 by Serbian forces using old radar. So much for “invisible.”

📡 Outsmarted by 1960s Tech

  • Long-wave Soviet radar + smart tactics = one stealth jet down.

✈️ B-2? A Bigger Blip

  • With a radar cross section up to 0.75 m², the B-2 is a MUCH bigger target than the F-117 (0.003 m²).

🏛️ Museum Victory

  • The wreckage sits in Belgrade Aviation Museum — a real trophy, folks.

🎯 Stealth Is Good, But Not Magic

  • Predictable routes, modern radars — even billion-dollar bombers can get tracked. Believe it.

🂡 China’s Get-Out-of-Jail Card How the CPC Used Baccarat, Billionaires & Bibi to Blindfold America and Clear the Path for Taiwan

“I’m a one-issue person. That issue is Israel.” — Sheldon Adelson

🧠 The Strategic Dilemma

Beijing has always known this: Taiwan cannot be unified by blood.

The Chinese people would endure famine, lockdowns, censorship. But not the televised slaughter of Taiwanese citizens, seen as their cultural kin.

The use of force would delegitimize the CPC in the eyes of its own people.

So how does China take Taiwan without taking it?

They needed a way out of country sized prison, a global distraction so immense, Washington turns its gaze elsewhere.

🎰 Enter Macau, Adelson, & the Mirage of the Middle East

In 2004, Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas casino mogul, opens Sands Macao with Beijing’s blessing earning billions from baccarat tables, untouched by CCP crackdowns.

That money is used to:

  • Fund Israel Hayom, a free newspaper weaponized to put Benjamin Netanyahu back in power
  • Lock up the GOP with unprecedented donations
  • Push U.S. foreign policy into permanent alignment with Israel’s hardline agenda

Beijing watches with satisfaction.

🇮🇱 But Why Netanyahu?

Because Netanyahu is a coalition of contradictions and the only man who can keep Israel stable enough to be useful, yet fractured enough to be volatile.

  • Ashkenazi pedigree, educated in the U.S., fluent in elite military doctrine
  • Rules through Mizrahim (marginalized Middle Eastern Jews) with emotional, populist appeal
  • Backed by Russian Jews, often hawkish, secular, and ultra-nationalist
  • Supported by American Evangelicals, who see him as a messiah.

    He converted America’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East” into a vessel for messianic ambition, a tool to rebuild the Third Temple.

🕍 The Deal:

Netanyahu offers Washington:

  • A permanent frontline against Iran
  • Religious myth fused with national interest
  • A reliable “democracy” in a sea of oil autocracies

And what does Beijing get?

A blindfolded superpower.

🕸️ The Realignment

While the U.S. burns its attention on Gaza, Hezbollah, the Golan, the Abraham Accords & the JCPOA
China is:

  • Building a Navy, Fortifying the South China Sea, Poaching TSMC engineers, Encircling Taiwan with no urgency or press coverage.

Because while D.C. debated prophecy and Palestine, the PLA prepared for Taipei.

Built for Perfection, Beaten by Chaos, the US F-35 jet is Lethal in Labs, but Fragile in the Field. Why the F-35 is the Allergic Rich Kid of Stealth Jets

The F-35 isn’t weak, it’s exquisitely engineered for a specific kind of war: one with full satellite coverage, seamless datalinks, and total air superiority. In that sterile, high-tech battlespace, it dominates. But when dragged into the mud: GPS-spoofed, jamming-heavy, terrain-masked combat zones, its fragility shows.

⚔️ Modern Battlefield “Germs”

  • 🌐 GPS Denial – Spoofed or jammed signals make precision munitions like JDAMs unreliable.
  • 🔇 Comms Jamming – Datalinks break down, crippling sensor fusion and team targeting.
  • ⚡ Electronic Warfare Saturation – Radar blindness, target ambiguity, system overload.
  • 🌫️ Visual Obstruction – Dust, terrain masking, cloud cover make laser designators unreliable.
  • 🧨 Integrated Air Defenses – Stealth fails when forced to hang external pods or fly exposed profiles.

🤒 F-35’s “Digital Peanut Allergy”

  • ❌ Can’t use laser-guided bombs internally – External targeting pods compromise stealth.
  • ❌ GPS-dependent weapons fail under spoofing – No fallback to “dumb” or terrain-based strikes.
  • ❌ Sensor fusion relies on network clarity – Jamming causes situational paralysis.
  • ❌ Limited weapon capacity – Only 4 bombs when stealth loadout is maintained.

💪 Adversary Immunity: Su-57 & J-20

  • ✅ Raised in contested environments – Designed assuming GPS/jamming threats are constant.
  • ✅ Terrain-following radar & passive IR sensors (IRST) – Allow effective navigation & targeting with no emissions.
  • ✅ Redundant nav systems – Celestial, inertial, and terrain-based backups keep jets functional.
  • ✅ More comfortable “fighting dirty” – Built to endure degraded or denied war zones.

🎯 Key Takeaway

The F-35 shines in a perfect system. But wars are messy, and unless it builds resilience to electronic “germs,” it risks being sidelined by tougher, grittier machines that evolved in chaos.

The Chessboard vs. The Periodic Table: The 21st-Century Power Struggle. Geographic Power Is outdated, control over supply chains now delivers greater strategic leverage than territorial dominance.

🌍 China’s “periodic table colonization” neutralizes traditional geographic chokepoints and turns global interdependence into a tool of coercion.

  • Territorial chokepoints (Strait of Malacca, Suez Canal) are vulnerable to rapid adaptation or circumvention.
  • Tariffs and blockades impose mutual pain but rarely shift strategic advantage.
  • China’s Belt & Road reduces exposure to maritime leverage.

🧪 Elemental Power Is Strategic

  • China controls 60–96% of global refining capacity for critical minerals like dysprosium, terbium, graphite.
  • Rare earth export restrictions paralyze Western defense and tech sectors.
  • Beijing absorbs economic pain more efficiently by redirecting output to domestic champions.

🧬 China’s 21st Century Playbook

  • Selective rare earth bans avoid broad retaliation while targeting sensitive sectors (e.g. Nuclear Submarines)
  • Withholds refining IP to trap rivals in upstream dependence.
  • Forces allies to export raw ore to China for processing, making ownership irrelevant.
  • Uses secondary sanctions to pressure Western companies to move more production into China to access raw materials e.g. shifting from importing magnets to buying finished motors.

The End of Illusions: American Power in an Age of Limits. The US is not a God, it does not operate outside the laws of physics, economics, or history.

The Mythology of American Exceptionalism

The U.S. has long positioned itself as uniquely exempt from the laws of geopolitics, economics, and history. Exceptionalism was both a self-image and a strategic narrative: the indispensable nation, the global sheriff, the architect of order.

🧠 1. The Myth of Exceptionalism
🔮 The post-Cold War “unipolar moment” led to the illusion that the US could shape the world at will.
⚖️ In reality, the US faces the same trade-offs all nations do — spending on military means less for domestic needs.
🌍 The belief in boundless power ignores the hard limits of economics, logistics, and social stability.

🏗️ 2. Shrinking Capacity
🚧 Infrastructure: America’s roads, bridges, and transit systems are aging fast. ASCE gives a C-, with a $2.9T repair bill — a growing drag on logistics and competitiveness.
💀 Human capital: Life expectancy is falling. The opioid crisis, mental health struggles, and labor burnout are weakening the workforce.
💸 Fiscal: National debt has hit $34T. By 2030, interest payments could surpass defense spending, shrinking budgetary flexibility.
⚙️ Industrial base: The US relies on fragile, offshore supply chains for essentials like semiconductors, medicines, and ammunition — a dangerous vulnerability.

🌐 3. Geopolitical Strain
💥 Simultaneously backing Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan stretches resources and exposes limits.
🧭 The “Pivot to Asia” strategy clashes with ongoing commitments in Europe and the Middle East.
💵 Weaponizing the dollar has unintended consequences — accelerating efforts by rivals to de-dollarize.

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ 4. Policy Delusions
🕰️ Many elites still act as if it’s 1999 — assuming American dominance is guaranteed.
🌐 Ambitions to maintain global supremacy exceed what current resources and capacity allow.
⚠️ There’s a bipartisan fantasy that America can lead everywhere, even as the domestic foundation cracks.

🏛️ 5. Historical Warnings
🇬🇧 Britain clung to empire long after its industrial edge faded.
🛑 The Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of military overreach and internal decay.
🏛️ Rome’s external conquests couldn’t save it from domestic erosion.
📉 When ambition exceeds capacity, reckoning always follows.

A mass extinction event is happening: the liberal mainstream media/ads alliance (once a $500B behemoth) is collapsing. Latest WPP forecast shows entire media industry is dying

📊 Creator Platforms = New Media Empire

  • 2025 is the tipping point: Creator-driven platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) will officially overtake traditional media (TV, print, radio, cinema) in global ad revenue according to WPP.
  • This is a generational shift — from institutions to individuals, from editors to algorithms.
  • Creator content is cheaper, performs better, and scales instantly: everything traditional media can’t replicate.

🧨 Implication: The idea of “mass media” as a centralized, curated product is functionally obsolete. The old “Fourth Estate” has become just another subcontractor in the creator economy.

https://www.wppmedia.com/news/tyny-midyear-2025

🧠 By 2026:

  • Major news brands see 30–50% drops in ad revenue unless they pivot to platforms or niche subs.
  • WPP-style agencies become AI consultants or collapse.
  • Legacy media brands reliant on institutional ad buys will become financially nonviable.

⏳ By 2028:

  • Traditional mass-media “broadcast” model is effectively dead.
  • AI + influencer-driven content replaces both ads and articles as dominant storytelling format.
  • Only brand-heavy outliers (e.g., NYT, Disney) and ideological anchors (e.g., Fox, MSNBC) will survive if only barely.

    Up next the death of the LNP, ALP duopoly?

NDIS: $60 Billion/yr of Compassion turned to Australian taxpayer funded Bureaucratic Waste

The NDIS began as a moral and progressive reform. But it now exemplifies a wider phenomenon: the creation of vast employment ecosystems that signal compassion, order, and professionalism — while often delivering little genuine value beyond sustaining themselves.

The system is no longer a service — it’s a job market in disguise

Categories of Fake Contribution

| 🏰 Feudal Retainers | Symbolic loyalty (e.g., Executive assistants, interns)
| 🕶️ Goon Jobs | Harm others for gain (e.g., PR, lobbyists)
| 🧰 Duct Tapers | Keep broken systems limping (e.g., data clerks, compliance checkers)
| ☑️ Box Tickers | Create illusion of compliance (e.g., DEI consultants)
| 👔 Taskmasters | Manufacture busywork (e.g., project overseers)

How the NDIS Became a Job Factory

| 💼 Plan Managers → ☑️ Box Tickers
| 🧭 Support Coordinators → 🧰 Duct Tapers
| 🧠 Consultants & Optimisers → 🕶️ Goon Jobs
| 🧾 Compliance Officers → ☑️ Box Tickers
| 🧱 NDIS Bureaucrats → 👔 Taskmasters

Instead of simplifying care, it industrialized it and created the Illusion of Societal Contribution
NDIS jobs feel important… but often aren’t.

How NDIS introduced Systemic Waste into the Australian economy

  • Layered Skimming: Only 14% of funding reaches direct care (Grattan Institute).
  • Perverse Incentives: More complexity = more “coordination” jobs → NDIS now employs 270,000+ Australians.
  • Outcomes Ignored: 44% of participants say plans don’t improve their lives (NDIS survey).
  • Reform Paralysis: 270,000 jobs = 270,000 voting households → politicians fear restructuring.
