REVISED: Pentagon vs. Anthropic -- Trump fires "Mad Dog" Dario

Last update: Monday 4/8/26

This final version of an evolving report explains how Anthropic induced the Pentagon to cancel a partnership that never should have occurred.  It retains much shorter versions of previous sections of the report that discredited plausible alternative explanations of the breakup. The revised report does not include a final section yet in order to give the editor more time to consider the disturbing implications of a possibility that he has been rejecting for the last five weeks.

Apple's iPhone as the prototype for China's future success via its dominance of rare earth processing

 Last update: Monday 3/8/26 11:05am

Deng Xiaoping, the 'father of modern China', implored his country's leaders in 1992 to greatly enhance its power by attaining a position of unchallengeable dominance of the world's markets rare earth elements (REEs).  Rare earths would be for China what oil was for the Middle East. Ever since then, China has been developing an ecosystem that is centered on its rare earth mining and processing assets. 

China's evolving ecosystem facilitated the phenomenal success that Steve Jobs achieved by locating the production of his visionary iPhone in China. In other words, China's successful production of Jobs' vision was a 'proof of concept' for Deng's vision. China's ecosystem would ensure that the iPhone's success would be a prototype for future success, not a never-to-be-repeated one-off.

that of oil in the Middle East: it is of extremely important strategic significance; we must be sure to handle the rare earth issue properly and make the fullest use of our country’s advantage in rare earth resources."
