TechGods Have Plans for Greenland


Responsible Statecraft
reported on Trump's nonstop push for Greenland:

...the forces that may be actually driving the minerals agenda: tech billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, who see Greenland not just as a source of rare earths, but as a laboratory for their libertarian economic and social experiments. These tech-billionaires envision unregulated “freedom cities” in Greenland, free from democratic oversight, environmental laws, and labor protections.

The city is envisioned as a low-regulation, techno-libertarian hub backed by figures like Peter Thiel (via Praxis), Marc Andreessen, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman. 
This project is an AI-driven data center project with aims to capture rare earth mining in Greenland. While exact details on land purchases for the city itself remain undisclosed in public sources, the initiatives are concentrated in southern Greenland, where the island's primary rare earth mineral deposits are located. 
This obsession with annexation reduces everything to a resource grab.
It seems lots of rich and powerful people in the U.S. want to grab Greenland by the Ice Patch.  How are they able to divert our attention from their ceaseless disgusting and disturbing predation?


It's the utopia angle, only there's no "you" in their utopia.

Libertarian TechGods have attached themselves to the federal teat like no other in terms of rapidity and scope.  Their wealth expands exponentially with each and every new valuation of their vast holdings.  

The new greed-based order will meet the old in Davos, Switzerland next week.  The theme is "A Spirit of Dialogue."  Trump II, the digital Caligula, is on tap to speak.  I wouldn't call what Trump does "dialogue."  It's more like derision, manipulation, the unbridled joy of hearing himself speak, mixed in with a little sociopathy and a number of spontaneous "savage whims."

Blackrock's Larry Fink will interview Palantir's Alex Karp, a major TechGod of Spying.  Karp is known for his hyperbolic, one way communications.  Not a good fit for a program centered on dialogue.  Karp has long felt comfortable with super wealthy global tamperers given his history protecting the annual Bilderberg Meeting and serving on its Steering Committee.

White House AI/Crypto Czar David Sacks will converse with Salesforce's Marc Benioff.  Sacks believes the U.S. is "being eaten alive" by little people fraudulently gaming the system.  That includes elections.  Sacks is part of the California billionaire exodus after a local labor union requested a one time 5% billionaire tax be placed on the ballot.

Also speaking at Davos 2026 is Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein.  He is on a panel addressing the topic:  Can We Afford Longevity?"  

That's very different from Elon's future "AI/robot world of abundance" where saving for retirement is "irrelevant."  Is that because regular people have to work until they die?  TechGods are pushing the 96 hour work week, 12 hours a day, six days a week.

Davos 2026 is centered around five themes (in blue text below).  My comments are in red.


Trump II, the Great Contester, will speak on topic #1.  He's fresh off a meeting with the Danes over Greenland.

What chaps my backside is the Trojan Horse nature of it all.  The great democracy grabs Greenland only to make large portions of it ungoverned by the people, turned into a corporate controlled paradise where TechGods can trash the environment and set up abusive workplaces.  

That's not a "freedom for the people" city, not in the least.  It has a Beijing, Tony Blair's and Jared Kushner's Gaza "economic freedom" feel.  Go along to get along.  Nothing enlightening about that.  

I can smell the insider enrichment from here.  It's like being told you are getting a horse and all you see and smell are road apples.
