ACCELERATIONISM

Trump warns he left instructions to ‘obliterate’ Iran if he is assassinated
If they even begin to go through with this, it will absolutely lead to 9/11 type blowback…and they know it. This will trigger attacks by Islam, followed by another massive “War on Terror” in response. This gives them substantial cover and an excuse for more emergency usurpation of power to continue their primary objective, and to further expand the surveillance/police/military state.
This is on top of recent threats to invade Canada, Greenland, and Panama. More threats like this will follow, and a few select ones will be acted upon.
Instigate Biblical apocalyptic prophecy
The temple on the mount has already been destroyed twice. Hegseth’s plan to build the “Third Temple” would trigger Armageddon according to many interpretations of the Book of Revelations. According to both the Jewish and Christian faiths, the building of the third temple triggers the battle of Armegeddeon and the appearance or return of the Messiah.

OK, part of this was personal
BRICS nations will begin to fill the role of providing necessary aid to the US. It’s possible this is a play to further destabilize global geopolitics. Or, maybe their plan is to begin providing massive, privately-funded aid or corporate contracts to struggling nations, giving the tech billionaires more influence over those governments.

THE COUP PURPOSE
The Tech Billionaire’s hostile takeover is underway, and the USA is about to be destroyed and replaced with their many corporate fiefdoms
This is a chess game, being orchestrated by Musk (X, SpaceX, Tesla), Peter Thiel (Palantir) who owns JD Vance, and fully backed by Bezos (Amazon), Gates (Microsoft), Schmidt (Google), Zuckerberg (Meta), Altman (OpenAI), Marc Andreessen (Coinbase), etc. Though Trump, they’re destabilizing the world order with outlandish threats, like annexing Greenland, Canada and Gaza. They’re firing government employees en masse, and only keeping loyalists. They’re hacking key government databases and payment processing systems. They’re replacing objective media with friendly media. They’re destroying academia. They’re assuming vast powers not granted by Congress, SCOTUS or the Constitution. They’re manipulating the majority of the American people with masterful deception. Their goal is the destruction of the United States Government.
That sounds pretty good to a libertarian or anarchist. But, you can’t just look at what they’re doing…you have to look at what their plan is afterwards. Fortunately, they’ve told us over many years in a roundabout way.
The tech billionaires are about to destroy the US government and they’re planning to replace it with what they believe will be a libertarian, technology-driven,“Atlas Shrugged” utopia. They want new Network States, like Praxis, funded by Thiel, Altman, and Andreessen. On the surface, this doesn’t sound too bad, either.
Here’s the problem: Much like Ayn Rand’s utopia, there’s a good chance the Network States will be only for the elite. Do you really think they’ll want the great, unwashed masses spoiling their Galt’s Gulch? You will not be welcome there. Since they can’t have you sullying their utopia, they’re going to have to figure out something to do with you.
That’s when things turn ugly. Just like every civilization in the entirety of human history, the folks at the top of the pyramid will need to insulate and protect themselves from the rest of us. That means coercion, oppression and ultimately violence. And, they will have nearly unlimited economic and technological resources with which to do it. For most of us, it will be more like “1984” initially, followed rapidly by “Terminator” and/or “The Matrix.”
Virtually every news article below represents a coordinated step in that process. And this is only the beginning.
