This is sharp analysis that cuts through the noise. The connection between Thiel's Praxis ventures and the Arctic land grab makes way more sense when viewed through a 50-year climate lens rather than just geopolitical posturing. I've been watching how institutional investors quietly position in high-latitude real estate for awhile now, and the timing with these Greenland narrativesfeels coordinated. The "statue of liberty" play comparison is spot on becuase it shows how denial can function as strategic misdirection.

"climate change" is the propaganda cover for pole shift and alteration of the earth on its axis that is currently underway. Greenland will be in prime position. Did you really think the oligarch bunkers are for "societal collapse"?

Hard hitting Emanuel; why Greenland Now! follow power. Thank you for alerting us to the true geopolitical purpose for Trump's bellicosity around Greenland. yes, the planet is warming, the arctic ice will be gone. It's open waters.

Meanwhile, our movement should say enough is enough with this warmongering; we need to ditch the rich, the plutocratic power structure that has so screwed things up over my lifetime, an infant when Eisenhower warned the nation about the military industrial complex, and here we are. https://greenlibertycaucus.org/ditch-the-rich-campaign/

Also, when we demand peace we need to connect peace as a real potential with removing the chief impediment to that possibility: plutocracy. https://greenlibertycaucus.org/peace-movement-needs-egalitarian-revolution/

Absolutely Chuck. The truth goes marching on

Dear Emanuel, Greenland, Venezuela, Ukraine and many more ravaged countries will soon be the new investing-opportunities for the same old money guys! The very same guys who have ravaged our economies, health, nature, everything. A new leader should try to implement new money, energy, health, and food systems completely away or totally independent from the big-money-old-story guys like Gates, Blackrock etc who will most likely take over Greenland as well. How do we do this?

Dear Emmanuel:We should also hold the lower tier of the middle class accountable. I often talk about the middle classes in my online comments because I believe both the middle and lower classes share much of the blame for the collapse and destruction of the world, as well as the poverty, pain, and misery they themselves endure. I see them as 60% responsible, while the oligarchies and ruling classes account for the other 40%. This is because the middle and lower classes are larger in number, making them harder to overcome in a true revolution against the oligarchy. They are also heavily influenced by mainstream media, which leads billions of people from these groups to support the actions of the global plutocracy.

Check out this article by Marxist writer Béla Kun https://www.marxists.org/archive/kun-bela/1918/05/04.htm about how the middle classes worldwide tend to resist radical changes. Here in America, most middle-class families still back the pro-war right-wing parties, the Democratic and Republican parties.

Even the most radical or progressive factions within these two parties support talking heads and paid influencers who, at the end of the day, are capitalists, imperialists, anti-communist, anti-anarchist, and anti-change—people like Thom Hartmann, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, The Young Turks, David Pakman, Meidas Touch, Democracy Now, Nick Fuentes, Bernie Sanders, Counterpunch, Dissident Voice, Common Dreams, and Raw Story—who ultimately still uphold capitalism, imperialism, and fascism.

I do not have an off the shelf answer to this complex question, but i welcome the discussion. I tend to blame the intellectuals for their betrayal of their ethical obligations, but there are other ways of looking at the problem. I do not accept simple class analysis either, although I see class as the major factor. We can talk and perhaps have discussion on this topic. It is true that those who rise from the working class and own property are mor likely to see themselves as little Warren Buffetts than in solidarity with working people. Warren Buffett, by contrast, sees everyone who is not a billionaire as a useless pest to be destroyed

Yeah Dr. Emmanuel, The idea about middle-class families and people in most US cities and states isn’t irrational. For example, even though I come from a regular lower-middle-class family, my strong mental and political independence helps protect me from being influenced by pro-war, pro-capitalism, pro-Israel mainstream media, as well as churches, educational institutions, professionals like lawyers and doctors, and even everyday people.

Most of my family members aren’t very well-informed and don’t have the time or interest to learn about how the oligarchic, plutocratic world has operated for thousands of years. They’re part of the traditional religious-moralist middle class in America, living a lifestyle filled with toys, gadgets, trips to Walmart and shopping malls, eating fast food, watching mainstream movies, and enjoying big comfortable houses, SUVs, and green lawns. Because of the life they lead and the information they consume, they’ve been completely conditioned to support Trump and the libertarian, consumerist philosophy embraced by both the Republican and Democratic parties, which share the pro-Ayn Rand ideology of the Republican Party.

My close family—my sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and so on—are so deeply influenced by this monstrous machine that I avoid talking politics with them. They often defend much of what Trump, with the backing of Democrats, is doing to the world.

I don’t think the real problem is brainwashing or mind manipulation. I believe the main reason why so many traditional Americans continue to support Trump, Democrats, Israel, U.S. imperialism, oligarchic capitalism, and wars is their relatively comfortable middle-class lifestyle.

There is a book called "Nihilist Communism" https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/monsieur-dupont-nihilist-communism I think there’s some truth to the idea that protesting, rebelling, or revolting against what’s seen as the “monster axis of evil” — including the USA, Israel, oligarchies, the Pentagon, and others — is ultimately pointless and even flawed in logic. The reasoning is that as long as people have food in their refrigerators and kitchens, systems like capitalism, U.S. imperialism, Zionism, and the dominant political classes, whether Democrats or Republicans, will remain powerful. Meanwhile, ordinary people will stay weak, making it nearly impossible to witness a true anti-capitalist, anti-Zionist, anti-oligarchic revolution in America or anywhere else in the world.

The main idea of the book "Nihilist Communism" is that only severe hunger and hardship can ignite real revolutions of the starving majority against the wealthy elite. It argues that, for genuine revolutionaries, the best approach right now is to do nothing and simply wait until the masses are truly starving and suffering.

I think this is true, which is why people in the USA earning more than $12 or $15 per hour, or something in that range, are unlikely to support a violent revolution against the ruling class.

That’s why I’ve been considering starting a movement in the USA for people earning less than 12 dollars an hour as the main requirement to join. I believe that as long as basic needs are met, there won’t be enough motivation among the masses to push for a violent revolution.

Well there is some truth in there. I need only talk about my friends and family. They did not hesitate for a minute to abandon me when what I said got in the way of their fantasies. Eventually I could not stand to talk with them any more because for some reason truth had value for me over the fantastical

As they burn all that pilfered oil robbed from the planet it will if allowed to proceed unhindered turn this living earth into a lifeless entity somewhat akin to Venus.

It is ironic that so many sub-geniuses who comment mostly from the Right deny carbon driven warming while the US military is quite aware of that trajectory and is formulating plans accordingly.

I suspect that due to the incredible brain power of our masters, they have decided that Greenland will provide an endless supply of ice cubes during the coming escalation of global warming.

It's not climate change that will further this scheme, but geoengineering/weather warfare!

The criminals in charge of The Empire of Greed have been doing lawless outrages for a long time, overthrowing legit governments and assassinating or abducting their leaders: it's happened in Iran in 1953, Guatemala the same year, in the Congo, in Libya, in Iraq, in Indonesia, in Haiti, in Honduras and even more than I can name, and now Venezuela to get their thieving mitts on all that oil!

Techno/fascists believe in "continentalism." They're interested in forming a North American Technate. It would be a federation or union under the guidance of a technocracy. In Actuality, it provides a more effective way to administer a totalitarian biosecurity surveillance state. The goal is global governance utilizing AI surveillance. This includes Special Economic Zones or Freedom Cities. These are neofeudal privatized terroritories owned by pyschopathic oligarchs.

Dear friends,The song "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against The Machine should be the inauguration anthem to mark the first day of the revolutionary communist dictatorship of the proletariat paradise, the kingdom of God on earth, that we plan to establish in the USA in the near future. https://youtu.be/3L4YrGaR8E4

Dear friends, Here’s a link to a great article about what could happen in Venezuela.

 https://trump-the-evil-thief.blogspot.com/2026/01/scientific-thesis-of-what-really.html

The article claims that Venezuela could turn into a hell on earth, with various guerrilla groups battling for power and factions emerging much like in many Middle Eastern nations, resulting in a balkanized country. It also mentions that the top leaders of Maduro’s government have capitulated and sold themselves to U.S. imperialism and Trump.

By now, it seems clear that most people around the world understand what happened in Venezuela wasn’t really an invasion or a kidnapping, but rather a well-organized plan and agreement between Trump and Venezuelan authorities. Only staunch Maduro supporters believe that Maduro and Delcy Rodríguez have been honest leaders who haven’t sold out to the U.S.

PS:You know how simple, naive, and gullible people can be. Many are either pro-Trump or anti-Trump, pro-Trump or pro-Maduro, without realizing that both sides may be corrupt. They fail to see that organized governments and states worldwide can act like legalized bands of thieves, supported by religion, morality, laws, traditions, the media, and the unquestioning loyalty of the masses.

PS 2: That’s why Bakunin was absolutely right when he said that if you hand wealth and political power to even the most honest and heroic revolutionary, he’ll eventually become a tyrant and an oppressor

Dear Emmanuel and friends: You’re right about how misguided all the alternative leftist progressive talking heads, news sources, and websites are. They completely misunderstand the roots of the problem and the current situation unfolding in America and around the world..

Trump isn’t the first or only leader accused of being an evil fascist imperialist. This pattern dates back to figures like King Philip, Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, and the medieval empires of Europe. The USA can be seen as a continuation of the Macedonian, Roman, British, French, Spanish, and other European empires.

Some people romanticize the US Founders, but it’s important to recognize that Trump is not the only problematic leader in US history. The country was established by corrupt, oppressive figures—the Founding Fathers—who are still seen by many, including certain Trotskyist groups like those at the World Socialist Website, as revolutionary heroes. In truth, the United States developed into an oligarchic, kleptocratic, racist, plutocratic, imperialist system disguised as a workers’ democracy.

Here is a link of how the USA was founded as fascist, imperialist oligarchic evil empire by default https://www.brianwillson.com/americn-exceptionalism-the-rhetoric-and-the-reality/

That’s why I’ve shifted from being a Marxist leftist to an anarchist, because I find leftist websites and alternative news sources too moderate and reformist, failing to address the root of the problems. Even Trotskyist outlets, often seen as ultra-left, are really center-left in nature—moderate, reformist, and not truly revolutionary against what I view as the corrupt U.S. government and ruling class. I stopped reading and relying on progressive sites like CounterPunch, Dissident Voice, World Socialist Website, Common Dreams, marxist.com, Democracy Now, and others, because from an anarchist perspective, right-wingers and left-wingers, capitalism and communism alike, are all systems that concentrate wealth in the hands of the upper class. From this viewpoint, leftist movements and websites are not revolutionary, but electoral and reformist, fundamentally center-left and not in favor of violent revolution. Even Marx said that violence can only be destroyed with violence, and Nietzsche believed extreme problems require extreme solutions.

The USA has managed to fool many people through the power of its media, manipulating the masses into believing it was founded, and still remains under Trump, as a workers’ democracy with equality and wealth shared by all—but that’s far from the truth. It’s a scam, a powerful lie, where even those earning what seems like a lot—say $50,000 a year—are often living in poverty with low standards of living. That income is quickly funneled upward to the wealthy through bills and taxes. It’s a country that pushes people into college, promising big paychecks, yet even high earners find their income drained, leaving little for enjoyment or pleasure. In the end, much of the money in this country disappears into expenses. thru bills and taxes, leaving only scraps for life’s joys.

(from AI:) 'The economy of Greenland is small, mixed, and vulnerable, characterized by a large public sector and extensive foreign trade, with significant dependence on capital inflows from the Danish government, which supplies about half of the self-rule government's revenues.

This reliance has led to periods of strong growth, inflation, and unemployment, while the economy remains highly sensitive to fluctuations in global commodity prices, particularly for fish and shrimp, which account for over 90% of exports.

Greenland's per capita disposable income is the lowest in the Arctic, excluding Russia, and less than one-third that of Alaska, despite GDP per capita being close to the European average'. /

(Me) Trump wants it for America and for a better economy for the Greenland people, no doubt. BUT

It is still the old colonial picture with old fashioned mineral mining and oil - It is still about big companies and pollution.

AND

Greenland is emerging as a strategically vital location in the context of the upcoming space age, primarily due to its geographic position in the High North.

The United States operates the Pituffik Space Base on Greenland’s northwest coast, one of its most important space and defense installations.
