Tech Fascists are Plotting a Coup of the Power Grid

This site is about how tech fascists are invading, extending, attacking, seizing, couping…. All manner of things… An incredible power grab emerging from the most deeply fascistic elements of the industry, you know the ones. A16z (Marc Andreessen), Founder’s Fund (Peter Thiel) and YCombinator, plus some of their crony VC firms and financial instruments.  

I had the misfortunate duty of watching the debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz, both VP candidates recently. 

JD Vance is of interest to us because JD Vance is a venture capitalist who was given his venture capital firm Narya by two individuals close to our conspiracy, one might argue at the very center of it — Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel. And he is very much the demonic patsy of their creation. 

So it wasn’t particularly surprising, though it was alarming, to see JD Vance making some telling comments about energy — specifically nuclear and solar —  policy points that would send a fuck ton of money in the way of his handlers. These interests have significant energy plays they are trying to roll out; this whole concept of rolling out nuclear power plants is something they have huge investments in, with the shiny bauble being the idea that this will fuel all of the AI datacenters; which is certainly true but also has the risk of disguising a grab for the power grid by tech fascists. Which we should not put past them considering their bottomlessly ambitious appetites. 

Indeed there was a suspicious amount of announcements related to tech energy plays around the debate, held on October 1st!!!  

Leading up to the VP debate, on September 10th a startup called Exowatt made a big announcement: “Miami-based Exowatt launched a modular system to generate, store and dispatch clean energy on Tuesday. The company pairs a solar energy collector with a thermal battery that can deliver either heat or electricity. Though the startup is relatively new, it already has a demand backlog of 1.2 gigawatts from some of the world’s largest data center operators and wind and solar developers, all hungry for new sources of energy amid the AI boom.” 

Exowatt’s financing? $20 million so far from Sam Altman — another Peter Thiel protege/puppet — and Andreessen Horowitz, Marc Andreessen’s VC firm. Of course!  Then Larry Ellison, a very close associate of Elon Musk, on the same day announced that they are building a data center that will be powered by three small nuclear reactors, part of a massive datacenter buildout that he predicts could swell to 2,000 datacenters. 

And also… Microsoft (serving as the host body for the OpenAI parasite, which if you recall was funded originally by Peter Thiel and YCombinator) has announced they are gonna reopen 3 Mile fuckin Island and hook that shit up to a datacenter. Lotta noise, lotta noise. And of course we can’t ignore the massive moves that a16z is making in nuclear energy, investing in spring 2023 in Radiant Industries, per their marketing site: “building portable 1-megawatt nuclear reactors, the size of a shipping container, that can reliably produce power for 20 years. Their portable design makes it possible to produce energy wherever it’s needed, without grid infrastructure. And their use of TRISO fuel cores and helium cooling ensures the reactors are safe and resilient.” They have written documents including "Untethered: Decentralizing Energy to Transform War”: “ Just as nuclear-powered propulsion cemented American naval dominance in the 20th century, nuclear-powered bases will extend our supremacy into the 21st.” Indeed, killing is never far from a16z’s mind, which more and more resembles the psychology of a serial killer. And the off-grid shit is concerning too considering their idea of setting up their own “parallel” nation state on American land and with its resources (see: Solano county), as well as projecting their power through colonies for the Network State, many in underdeveloped countries.

A16z also has a long policy statement: “How To Scale Nuclear Power”. A key point: “The problem: We largely stopped building new reactors in the 1980s. Today, our nuclear fleet is among the oldest in the world, with an average reactor age of approximately 40 years.” 

“…what matters most is the commercial viability of new reactors: Even if they’re approved, will someone buy them? There are strong economies of scale when it comes to large nuclear power plants, so competing directly in the wholesale markets for grid power can be difficult until newer firms can drive down unit costs.” 

Interesting. Enter JD Vance!!

In light of all of this, I found it profoundly interesting, JD Vance’s comments about electricity and power as one of his main talking points in the debate and in fact CLOSED ON the note of energy. Relevant comments from the transcript of JD Vance at the debate

“We want the environment to be cleaner and safer, but one of the things that I've noticed some of our democratic friends talking a lot about is a concern about carbon emissions. This idea that carbon emissions drives all the climate change. Well, let's just say that's true, just for the sake of argument, so we're not arguing about weird science. Let's just say that's true. Well, if you believe that, what would you, what would you want to do? The answer is that you'd want to reshore as much American manufacturing as possible and you'd want to produce as much energy as possible in the United States of America because we're the cleanest economy in the entire world.”

“We should be making more of those solar panels here in the United States of America.”

“So if you really want to make the environment cleaner, you've got to invest in more energy production. We haven't built a nuclear facility, I think one, in the past 40 years.

“Now, you asked [] what would immediately change the equation for American citizens? If you lower energy prices. As Donald Trump says, ‘Drill, baby, drill.’ One of the biggest drivers of housing costs, aside from illegal immigration, is think about it: if a truck driver is paying 40% more for diesel, then the lumber he's delivering to the job site to build the house is also going to become a lot more expensive. If we open up American energy, you will get immediate pricing release, relief, for American citizens, not, by the way, just in housing, but in a whole host of other economic goods too.”

Asked for his closing statement: 

“Well, I want to thank Governor Walz, you folks at CBS and, of course, the American people for tuning in this evening. And one of the issues we didn't talk about was energy.* And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother, when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at night and because money was often very tight. And I believe, as a person who wants to be your next Vice President, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every American, whether they're rich or poor, ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night. That's gotten more difficult thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies.”

* They talked about energy often throughout the debate. 

The thing about closing statements of course, is that you know you’re gonna have to deliver them, and thus, they are prepped in advance; meaning that it was planned by his campaign, and as the puppet of a16z and the PayPal mafia, we can trust and believe that this content was straight from them. Additionally, the closing statement leaves the lasting impression… which his handlers know very well. 

While datacenters are serving as a key catalyst here, it is notable that the energy investments here are starting to look like bids for the power grid… or a coup of it. Datacenters provide a isolatable excuse, that perhaps disguises a more total play. With the city-eating character of this conspiracy, we can trust that they aim to get into the power underlying cities; one cardinal rule of tech is that the lower you can go, the more power you have. VCs have long held software… but they have been moving steadily into hardware, and with the core conspiracy having little experience in datacenter construction itself (outside of Larry and their ties to Microsoft), it seems they are trying to get even lower in the stack than datacenters and chips… and into the energy feeding the datacenters (and other things…), which gets them very low in the stack indeed. And of course, this is also a global market for them. 

Update: An hour and a half after publishing this, the White House announced it will seek to re-open closed nuclear power plants as “part of a three-pronged strategy of President Joe Biden's administration to bring more nuclear power online to fight climate change and boost production… The other two prongs include development of small modular reactors (SMRs) for certain applications, and continuing development of next generation, advanced nuclear reactors….”; and stated that “the U.S. Navy on Monday had requested information to build SMRs on a half dozen bases.”

This follows a meeting of key tech and AI leaders from Amazon, OpenAI, Google and AWS with the White House in September; a quote from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following the meeting: “We’re at the beginning of a new industrial revolution… this industry is going to be producing intelligence, and what it takes is energy... So we’ve got to make sure that everybody understands the needs coming, the opportunities of it, the challenges of it, and doing it in the most efficient and scalable way we can.” Importantly, this was a delegation from the tech giants, and not from the fascist VC contingent, with key the exception of OpenAI/Anthropic). Because of OpenAI, the extremist VCs are getting into a lot of company they shouldn’t… and they will ride any horse they can get into power.

A moment to pump one of the most important messages I have, per my tweet July 2024:

“One major key to understanding venture capital's engagement with the American political system: these are not Democrats. These are not Republicans. They dislike both liberalism and conservatism, they are against both democracy and communism -- they are fascists. They are more than willing to use *both* American parties indiscriminately, cynically and at will, they have 0 allegiances to the country, and they are invested almost not at all in the ideology of either party. They are backing Trump because it is the easiest path to compromising the US and gutting its regulatory system, not because they are pushing a Republican platform. They are trying to utterly compromise and weaken the government so they can keep the government doing what they need it to -- keep the checks running, keep the military spending, keep policing going -- while stopping the government from impairing them in any way.”

We are in an all-out assault by venture capitalists. This power grab has extraordinary dimensions and is being very carefully strategized, as they simultaneously go after energy, war and the presidency. They are devouring. While computing power, energy and so on are not bad in and of themselves (though these are complex conversations), again the problem here is that they are fascists, leading an extremist secessionist plot and a global power grab for far-right elements domestically and globally. This element gaining control of the power grid is unacceptable... or being able to create their own, sovereign grid. Other power solutions must be found but they themselves must be left without any.
