Media Manipulation: The Silent Puppeteer of the American Psyche.

Ever feel like the stories you see and hear are crafted more for theater than truth? That there's a script behind the "breaking news"?

In this incendiary chapter, we pull back the curtain on the media's metamorphosis from its role as the "Fourth Estate" - a watchdog of democracy - to its current avatar as a powerful player with vested interests and hidden agendas.

Lots of talk about Ai race between China and USA . Often, reality is being overlooked.

Using its less advanced domestic Ai chip sets, innovative Chinese peasants are successfully doing a lot of AI works without America's Ai chips. The question to the deluded Americans is: can USA mass produce Ai chips without Chinese rare earth?

No Chinese rare earth will virtually bring the USA AI progress to a near standstill. Need to say more?

(Side note: Also, all chips makers including TSMC uses rare earth elements, like gallium and germanium, in the manufacturing of advanced chips, as these materials are crucial for creating the unique properties needed for high-performance semiconductors. China dominates the global supply of these rare earths, which are essential for various chip applications, including those in AI, IoT, and robotics.)
