   1. Would love to know who the investors are and what there value proposition is.

      1. “The startup’s fundraising haul was led by Lowercarbon Capital, a Wyoming-based climate technology-focused firm co-founded by billionaire investor Chris Sacca.

         It was also backed by the venture capital arm of the Agnellis’ firm Exor, a Dutch holding company that is the largest shareholder of Chrysler parent company Stellantis, luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari and Italy’s Juventus Football Club. Ten other firms — hailing from San Francisco to Berlin — and one individual, former Facebook executive Matt Cohler, also joined Stardust’s fundraising round, its second since being founded two years ago.”

         “They have convinced Silicon Valley [venture capitalists] to give them a lot of money, and I would say that they shouldn’t have,” said Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia Business School and author of the book “Geoengineering: The Gamble.” “I don’t think it is a reasonable path to suggest that there’s going to be somebody — the U.S. government, another government, whoever — who buys Stardust, buys the [intellectual property] for a billion bucks [and] makes the VC investors gazillions. I don’t think that is, at all, reasonable.”

2. Interestingly, a Singaporean engineer-turned-mundane (i.e. political) astrologer Donny Lim predicted announcement of military draft around April 20 to the end of the month. I have not tracked his accuracy, but he gets a lot right. He also says that 2025 will be the last year when “normal” international travel is possible for a while, with more hoops to jump subsequently. A well-known British psychic Craig Hamilton Parker says that jet fuel will run out suddenly in Europe first (sounded like a coordinated travel ban), so be careful if traveling to/from Europe.

   Other people I listen to for predictions have mentioned that the war in Iran is likely to last 2+ years with rationing of gas and food in multiple countries, including the West. I guess a pandemic will come after the famine.

   The reason why the gas price in Japan has not gone up is because the government is handing gas subsidy to gasoline suppliers at the moment. Yes, yet another handout to oil companies, and only a third of what the government is spending is reflected in the consumer gas prices. Am I wrong in thinking that the price of commodities like oil is fixed in a long-term contract? Why does it fluctuate so much on daily international news?

   1. According to a new law enacted in Germany in January, all men between the ages of 17 and 45 must seek approval from the military (not civilian) authorities if they wish to leave the country for more than 3 months. Since it is a law, those who don’t register are committing a crime.
      This is just the start. First young men. First 3 months. Then everybody and any time. And of course digital ID will make it easier to control and digital currency to enforce.

3. Another outstanding money and markets and thank you.
   Catherine, There is an amazing woman I DISCOVERED ON SUBSTACK THAT PUTS OUT SOME VERY INTERESTING CONTENT AND I feel could be an excellent person (if she is willing and you like her) to make those videos you mentioned 8min-30 seconds long ( you mentioned at about 1:32.40 min mark)
   Here is a link to her substack

4. I’m not sure the analysis on ice detention centers makes sense. California will encourage violent protests so it would make more sense to transport illegals into a region where the government is more friendly to ICE. The Spanish I hear now 2025 is not old Mexico which would have been the Spanish I would have heard exclusively in 1985. They probably do go through Mexico but don’t assume they are Mexican nationals. The big circles are near airport hubs easy to consolidate and then easy to transport out by commercial air. With 10% of births as citizenship tourism I can imagine ICE and DHS will put a lot more effort into not letting pregnant women stay long enough to give birth.

   1. Then there would be plenty across the border, particularly in interstate intersections. But there are not. Look at the map.

5. I would like to suggest adding to your recommended reading of ESC’s Iran and Vighi’s The Programmable Crisis, a third excellent long read: Lies are Unbekoming’s The House Always Wins

   The author is another prolific writer, usually focused on health and the medical-industrial complex, but breaks that with this piece sub-titled: An Essay on the Iran War, the China Target, and the Central Banking Architecture That Connects Them.

   1. Excellent! Will cover this one in M&M. Best description yet of how the VPS fighting relates to Mr. Global.

6. The data center segment should be put on YouTube. The average person I am meeting in Appalachia has no idea how dangerous these buildings are. It may help. I see you post snippets now. I’m thankful you and John doing these videos. It’s been helpful.

   1. Just asked the team to do.

7. OMG this is a hoot. On one level this is just so outrageous it is brilliant. The people who use cash will use cash no matter who has a signature on it and those who use digital payment methods same so. In a few years, it will be someone like Gov. Good Hair equally hated by a different or maybe same group of 20-30%. Newsom is really disliked in my region of California. It seem like it is a great way to have millions of people start to collect money, like old fashioned stamp collecting. Some amount of stamps were taken out of the system. Money collectors just might get excited to start saving money signed by a different president every four years.
