grey🚨Index of 68 Weapons Startups🚨 This document illustrates the venture capital military and weapons build-out. Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund (Peter Thiel’s VC firm) and YCombinator are the biggest drivers of the industry’s new era of militarization. They are working to move weapons production from existing primes – Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. – into venture capital-backed startups. This transition is accelerated by Trump’s election as venture capital weapons executives move to take control. https://www.vcinfodocs.com/weapons-startups #WhiteHouseCoup #LockheedMartin #Anduril #YCombinator #Raytheon #AndreessenHorowitz #a16z #FoundersFund

Chuck DarwinThen there’s the <a href="https://c.im/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxes</a>, of course. The billionaires don’t want to pay them, and Trump is amenable to that. Scott Bessent, nominated for Treasury Secretary, said “the most important economic issue of the day” was making sure tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy stayed in place. Bessent is accused of being a tax dodge himself.Mass privatization could make things even more profitable for the tech industryBut that’s all small potatoes. The real money is in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#military</a>. The venture capitalist Marc Andreessen — also a board member of Meta and major investor in X — has been recruiting Trump administration staffers and even influencing Defense Department and intelligence agency hiring, The Washington Post reports. As usual, he’s given the game away by bragging about it on a podcast.Silicon Valley investors generally have been bullish on defense tech like industry poster children <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anduril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anduril</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palantir</a>. (a16z is a major Anduril backer, and both companies are founded and owned by some of the Valley’s earliest MAGA faithful.) They want to shift Pentagon spending away from old-school contractors like Lockheed Martin, which appears to be so freaked out that when the “Big Tech Alert” X account noted it had unfollowed Musk, the Lockheed account DM’d to say it was “inadvertent.”Musk’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/SpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceX</a> has a number of contracts with the US military and intelligence agencies, including the so-called <a href="https://c.im/tags/Starshield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Starshield</a> satellites. He’s used his influence to meddle in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and has even reportedly taken phone calls from Vladimir Putin. The military’s interest in artificial intelligence has also inspired a new race for everything from building out data centers to providing cloud computing. Musk’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/xAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xAI</a>, something of an also-ran next to OpenAI, Meta, and Google, could legitimize itself with DoD contracts.

Chuck DarwinBilderberg Group changes itself for the modern world – and return of Trump Several of Bilderberg's 31-member steering committee have senior roles in the defence industry. The billionaire former Google boss, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Eric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eric</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Schmidt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schmidt</a>, chaired the recent National Security Commission on AI, and is now busy launching a kamikaze drone company aimed at the lucrative Ukraine market. Meanwhile, the hugely wealthy Swedish industrialist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Marcus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marcus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wallenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wallenberg</a> is chair of defense manufacturer <a href="https://c.im/tags/Saab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saab</a>, which enjoyed a 71% boost in orders in the first nine months of 2024, largely due to the war with Russia. The tech luminary and Donald Trump insider <a href="https://c.im/tags/Peter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Peter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thiel</a> founded the fast-growing robotics company <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anduril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anduril</a> and the booming surveillance and AI giant <a href="https://c.im/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palantir</a>. His loyal lieutenant <a href="https://c.im/tags/Alex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alex</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Karp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Karp</a>, the CEO of Palantir, was voted on to the board of Bilderberg a few years ago. Karp, who claims his company is “responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine”, recently told the New York Times that the US will “very likely” soon be fighting a three-front war with China, Russia and Iran. In some respects, the geopolitical mood today is not so different from how it was in the 1950s, when Bilderberg was born.Top of the agenda at the first meeting in 1954 was “the attitude towards communism and the Soviet Union”, with the “strictly confidential” conference report referring repeatedly to “the communist threat”. Seventy years later, at the most recent summit in Madrid, the primary threat is “Russia”, which sat grimly at the foot of the conference agenda underneath “Ukraine and the world”, and “the future of warfare”.In 1954, the alliance was facing “the emergence ofcommunist imperialism”. In 2024, it’s up against what Stoltenberg calls “the emerging axis of autocrats”, headed by Russia, China and North Korea.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Stoltenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stoltenberg</a> and his successor as secretary general, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rutte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rutte</a>, were both at this summer’s Madrid meeting. Joining them in the conference hall were a clutch of high-up Pentagon officials and Nato’s second most senior military leader, US general <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chris</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cavoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cavoli</a>, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. It was Cavoli’s second conference, and he’s not the first Saceur to attend the talks: they’ve been coming along to strategise since the mid-60s. Bilderberg has always had close links with the military: its founders included senior members of British and American intelligence, and a previous Nato leader, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lord</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Carrington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Carrington</a>, chaired the group from 1990 to 1998.Even the shamefaced resignation of its founding chair, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prince</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bernhard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bernhard</a> of the Netherlands, had a military twist: he was caught up in the Lockheed bribery scandal of 1976, the only year (pre-Covid) that the conference was cancelled. And it’s telling that arguably the most dominant figure at Bilderberg in the last several decades was the grand strategist and warmonger, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Henry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Henry</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kissinger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kissinger</a>, who was lauded as a foreign policy genius by some and despised as a mass-murdering war criminal by others.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/25/jens-stoltenberg-bilderberg-group-trump-presidency?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/25/jens-stoltenberg-bilderberg-group-trump-presidency?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a>

I was looking through <a href="https://readjpeg.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://readjpeg.com</a> and came across a cool image and it was from <a href="https://social.wake.st/tags/Anduril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anduril</a> who I had just seen mentioned in the community letter about <a href="https://chaos.social/@nixos_org" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nixos_org</a> (<a href="https://save-nix-together.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://save-nix-together.org</a>) so I went to go check them out and watched this bizarre video called "Autonomy for Every Mission" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhkEQA-Idfc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhkEQA-Idfc</a> and now I am watching a video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI4l-o4AcHs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI4l-o4AcHs</a> about how the company was started by the ousted <a href="https://social.wake.st/tags/Occulus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Occulus</a> founder.

systemd-jadedover the course of the last few months, my views on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/anduril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anduril</a> have changed from "please don't give them any support" to "we need to eject them from the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> community as soon as possible".their employees (*multiple* right wing trolls) have collectively wasted *hundreds* of hours of contributor time arguing about sponsorship rules to stop them driving people away, and have begun to be actively cited by people as reasons to leave the community in higher numbers than they ever brought.

MatthiasSince a lot of people reacted to my post about the organisers of <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/NixCon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixCon</a> accepting a sponsorship of a company that generates revenue from facilitating more people dying in unnecessary wars or at inhumame borders, I want to share that these organisers did the right thing and revoked the sponsorship by <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/Anduril" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anduril</a>. Thanks to all people involved in this decision for reconsidering and doing what's best for the <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/Nix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> and <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/NixOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> communtiy going forward. I truly believe that decisions like these set the course for communities like ours! I will make sure to continue to be invested in this communtiy and am once again looking forward to participate at the upcoming NixCon for the very first time.
