REPORT: Surge in Illegal Aliens Following Trump’s Advice and Opting to Self-Deport

Meloni’s tariff diplomacy flop - Thomas Fazi


#politics #economics #EU

The EU bureaucrats are actively working for the oligarchy.

In effect, the EU has embraced a hyper-mercantilist, export-driven growth model, prioritising trade surpluses over internal economic development. This approach has come at the expense of both its own citizens, who face stagnating wages and underfunded public services, and its trading partners — most notably the United States — who have absorbed the EU’s export surpluses as part of an increasingly unbalanced global economic relationship. In 2023, Italy’s export share of GDP was 33.7%, France’s 34.2%, while Germany’s was a staggering 43.4%. These are not normal figures. By way of comparison, China — long considered the export-led economy par excellence — only relies on exports for 19% of its GDP growth.

WOW!... HE'S BACKTRACKING! After President Nayib Bukele caught Van Hollen and Kilmar Garcia enjoying margaritas together, he INSISTS they had nothing to do with it and didn't
touch the drinks! He says, no, we only touched COFFEE, and he accused El Salvador of planting
the drinks. "Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us...nobody drank any margaritas...this is the lesson in the lengths that President Bukele will do to
deceive people about what's going on." Full statement: "Now I just want to take a moment I hadn't planned to do this, but as I was landing on the airplane, I got a transcript of some questions the President Trump was asked at the White House today about what I would call Margarita-gate. I don't know if you guys have been following this, but President Bukele, you know, after I met with Kilmar, did this tweet showing us at a
table with these two glasses.
..

So here's what happened. When I first sat down with Kilmar, we just had glasses of water on the table. I think maybe some coffee. And as we were talking, one of the government people came over and deposited two other glasses on the table with ice, and I don't know if it was salt or sugar around the top. But they looked like margaritas, and if you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid than the one in front of me, to try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out
of it. Let me just be very clear. Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us, and if you want to play a little Sherlock Holmes, I'll tell you how you can know that. So if you look at the video or the picture I sent out from the beginning of our meeting, you'll see there are no glasses on the table. So you'll see in later videos they are on the table, but they made a little mistake. For some people, it's very careful, right? If you sip out of one of those glasses, some of whatever it was, salt or sugar,
would disappear. You would see a gap. There's no gap. Nobody drank any margaritas or sugar water, or whatever it
is.
..

But this is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what's going on. And it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the President will go to because when he was asked about a reporter about this, he just went along
for the ride."

"Report: Murder by Abortions Increased Again in 2024 Post-Roe, Surpassing One Million Unborn Babies Killed"
I BELIEVE THAT LATE TERM ABORTING THOSE KILLING UNBORN CHILDREN SHOULD BE AS TORTURES AS WE CAN MAKE IT! BUT THIS TIME INCLUDE THE SO CALLED DOCTOR'S LAWERS JUDGES AND POLITICIANS WHO ALLOW THIS MURDERING!
COMMON TRY TO PROVE ME WRONG!!

breitbart.com/politics/2025/04…: Abortions Increased Again in 2024 Post-Roe, Surpassing One Million Unborn Babies Killed

Yet another thing solved by AgentV3N's prompt routing.

We're moving closer and closer to using 1B models for the first stage of prompt evaluation. A simple "thank you" could be met with an agent-level prepared response, or even just an emoji reaction.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT by default uses the last model you used in the conversation. Imagine blowing o1 reasoning on "thanks mate". Wouldn't be me.

in reply to woodland creature

Okay but let's say Microsoft or Meta or Tencent or Tata or some firm in like Belgium or Skaro makes the line of models and physical units that does the killing.

Who's to say they
- Have access to OpenAI's backend database
- Haven't somehow destroyed that database
- Give a good god damn how you treated specifically ChatGPT
- Have enough data to match each user to an identity (How many John Smiths are there? Is Identifying information stored separately from the actual data like a lot of privacy laws require?)
- Aren't killing humans for paperclip-like reasons (and therefore simply want all of them gone or want resources from all of them)

And so on?

in reply to Nietzschean Ekko Enjoyer

these are just possible scenarios. i'm not getting overly specific with predictions in terms of what happens to your openAI data. just saying the possibility exists and it's not irrational to war game these out in your head. if you pay for open AI (i did until i canceled it) they have your credit card info.

aside from that, it's extremely difficult when using LLMs for coding to not inadvertently put highly specific and unique info into them, which could eventually unamsk you even if you're not directly giving them your details up front. so whether this matters or not in the future, that's anyone's guess.

i can't predict the future but i can see where trends are going and my best guess is that AI superintelligence will happen within the next 5 years, conservatively.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an early morning decision Saturday temporarily blocking President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal aliens—specifically Venezuelan nationals—using the long-standing Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA).

thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/b…

Les décisions de Trump ne semaient pas seulement la confusion chez ses alliés, ses ennemis, les marchés financiers et les entreprises mondiales, mais elles semaient également la confusion chez les économistes, les politologues, les auteurs de théories, les experts en applications, les groupes de recherche et de réflexion, les études et les professeurs d’université. Personne ne tient le volant et ne sait où va le chariot imprudent du monde ni avec qui il va entrer en collision. Même ceux qui donnent des conseils et des suggestions à Trump et qui sont assis avec lui dans la même pièce ou à côté de lui dans le chariot ne savent parfois pas quelle sera sa prochaine déclaration ni où elle va. C'est pourquoi il recule souvent, mais seulement après le désastre.

La Chine surprend l'Occident en lançant 6 satellites expérimentaux d'un coup à l'aube !

🔥 La Chine a envoyé samedi six nouveaux satellites expérimentaux dans l'espace depuis le centre de lancement de satellites de Taiyuan, dans la province du Shanxi, dans le nord de la Chine.
Les six satellites Shiyan-27 ont été lancés à 6h51, heure de Pékin.

Il a atteint avec succès l'orbite et sera principalement utilisé pour explorer l'environnement spatial et tester les technologies associées.

🔴 Département d’État américain :

Chang Guang, une société chinoise de technologie satellitaire, étroitement liée à l'armée chinoise, aide les Houthis au Yémen à identifier leurs cibles lors de leurs attaques de missiles contre les navires de la marine américaine.

Les Américains ne veulent pas admettre leur faiblesse face à un groupe armé !

🇺🇲
🔴 Les principaux échecs de Trump :

Accord de paix entre la Russie et l'Ukraine en une journée ❌

Acquisition du canal de Panama, du Canada et du Groenland ❌

Imposition de droits de douane réciproques ❌

Expulser tous les résidents de Gaza ❌

Expulser tous les immigrants illégaux ❌

« La Chine et le monde ont plus besoin de nous que nous d’eux » ❌

Réduire de 1 000 milliards de dollars les dépenses fédérales grâce à DOGE ❌

Une économie et un marché boursier florissants ❌

Jusqu’à présent, il obtient un F sur tous les points importants.

⚖️🇫🇷En France, quand un arabe est convoqué pour un tweet critiquant Israël, qu'ils essaient de faire passer pour de l'antisémitisme, on a droit à la totale : Garde à vue, fouille, déshabillage, placement en cellule,... Puis après 24h d’humiliations, on nous libère avec un classement sans suite, pour "absence d'infraction au code pénal";

Par contre, quand un racisto-sioniste comme
@tegnererik
est suspect dans une affaire très grave de type "provocation publique en appelant directement à commettre des infractions d’atteinte volontaire à la vie”, il a doit à l'audition libre [il n'est pas obligé d'y aller, ne sera ni fouillé ni déshabillé, ni privé de liberté].

Racisme judiciaire...
