In the late 1970s Donald Trump, in his early thirties, cocky as ever and recently married to Ivana in 1977, could be seen on and off hitting the electric New York City night life especially at glamour\/hard partying disco dive Studio 54.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
A certified dancefloor killer at Studio 54 was\u00a0Disco Inferno<\/em> by The Trammps, mixed by dance wizard Tom Moulton, released in 1976, two years before perennial Trump favorite\u00a0YMCA<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 now resuscitated to global furor as the soundtrack to Trump 2.0 dance moves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For all practical purposes, Trump is now the DJ turning the whole planet into a Disco Inferno (\u201cfolks are screaming, out of control\u201d), as everything is \u201cso entertaining when the boogie started to explode\u201d. And the Trump \u201cboogie\u201d serially exploding is no less than the non-stop amplified sound of theater, bombast and uncontrolled chaos.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The spectacle of Trump\u2019s sound and fury – a torrent of executive orders, photo ops, carefully scripted illusionist tricks, breathless headlines – signifying\u2026something veils the same old imperial mindset, now blasting out in the open as a weaponized three-ring circus. Stagecraft invariably trumps substance as every smirk and scowl is media-weaponized to the enthralled, bloodthirsty arena spectators.\"\"<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Mr. Disco Inferno won a mini-trade war with Colombia in only 10 hours, after posting an image depicting himself as an Al Capone-style Mafia boss in pinstripe suit and fedora hat, standing next to a sign that reads \u201cFAFO\u201d, which means \u201cF**k Around and Find Out\u201d.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
He will win the proxy war in Ukraine. In 24 hours. Sorry, in 100 days. Sorry, maybe more. And \u201cif they don’t settle this war soon, like almost immediately, I’m going to put massive tariffs on Russia and massive taxes and also big sanctions.\u201d Why? Because, “you know, I love the Russian people.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He brags that the United States \u201chas the largest amount of oil and gas\u201d (it does not) and is going to use it; he will \u201cask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down oil prices\u201d (they will say no); because if \u201cthe oil price came down, the war in Ukraine would end immediately\u201d (this is definitely not a \u201ccause and effect\u201d case).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He will make \u201cthe largest tax cuts in US history.\u201d The US can ensure LNG supplies to Europe (of course, at a huge mark-up); the US \u201cdoes not need Canada to make cars, as well as Canadian oil and gas\u201d;the United States\u2019 \u201cmassive oil and gas reserves\u201d will allow it to \u201cbecome a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of AI and cryptocurrencies\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Buried in the sound and fury is the fact that the US can count on a steady stream of gas for domestic needs but that turns problematic when it comes to exports. Hence the expropriation obsession \u2013 as in outright Empire of Plunder: the US badly needs Iraqi, Syrian, Venezuelan, Mexican, Iranian and Russian reserves. Because even if carefully exported, there is insufficient liquification facilities in the US to supply the EU. And that\u2019s why Europe remains largely dependent on Russian LNG and other sources since the sabotage of the Nordstreams.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Satisfaction\u2026came in a chain reaction<\/strong><\/div>\n
\nYes: there is incoming blood on the dancefloor. To get into the real groove of Disco Inferno, we might as well focus on the top three challenges for Trump 2.0: the tech war against China; the geoeconomics war against the Global Majority; and the proxy war in Ukraine.
\nThe irruption of Hangzhou-based Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek on the global stage was something for the ages, instantly decimating the spun-to-death \u201csmall yard, high fence\u201d American strategy to smash China\u2019s tech advances.
\nDeepSeek should indeed be seen as the \u201cbiggest dark horse\u201d in the open-source Large Language Model (LLM) domain, now identified from Jakarta to Wall Street and Silicon Valley as potentially Beijing\u2019s secret weapon in the AI war with the US. Even Mr. Disco Inferno was forced to admit DeepSeek\u2019s breakthrough as a \u201cwake-up call\u201d.
\nAt the heart of the matter we find two clashing models: neoliberal hypercapitalism versus meritocratic socialism.
\nThe head of DeepSeek, Liang Wenfeng, is a fascinating geek. His given name (Wenfeng) means \u201cVanguard of Culture\u201d; one of the meanings of his family name (Liang) is \u201cbridge\u201d. So he may be seen \u2013 as he is in China \u2013 as Mr. Bridge to the Vanguard of Culture (here\u2019s Mr. Bridge in an excellent interview , in Chinese; please use auto-translate).
\nA Kunpeng 920 chip is displayed during an unveiling ceremony in Shenzhen, China, Monday, Jan. 7, 2019. Chinese telecom giant Huawei unveiled a processor chip for data centers and cloud computing as it expands into an emerging global market despite Western warnings the company might be a security risk.<\/div>\n
China Drops Powerful AI Model That\u2019s Free, Fast and Better for Humanity Than Silicon Valley Rivals
\nMr. Bridge pulled a spectacular Sun Tzu on US sanctions over exporting advanced graphic processing units (GPUs), especially Nvidia\u2019s advanced chips. Moreover, Chinese Big Tech firms cannot compete with the financial firepower of US Big Tech.
\nSo the answer was to develop cost-efficient powerful LLM models, without access to literally hundreds of thousands of Nvidia H100s chips. DeepSeek stated they had used just 2,048 Nvidia H800s and only $5.6million to train a model with 671 billion (italics mine) parameters: that\u2019s a very small fraction of what OpenAI and Google spent to train models of the same size.
\nAnd everything was developed locally, via scores of PHDs from the top Chinese universities – Peking, Tsinghua, Beihang \u2013 and not American Ivy League experts.
\nSo in a nutshell DeepSeek is a 100% Chinese LLM companywhich was capable to come up with open-source models and a free downloadable app for every consumer to use. That in itself destroys the current American-imposed neoliberal hypercapitalist AI business model.
\nThe rules of the game indeed are being rewritten. So what is the \u2013 predictable – American response? Call for more sanctions. In parallel, DeepSeek was forced to suspend new registrations because its site suffered a massive cyberattack. Talk about the price to pay for eviscerating a humongous $1 trillion off the techno-feudalists gathered at the New York Stock Exchange.
\nMr. Disco Inferno of course supports the commodifying of all data compared to free data for everyone. Right before the DeepSeek shock, he had – theoretically – secured as much as $1 trillion from the Saudis, including to a large extent investments to develop AI and data centers in the US.
\nThe new game of course is just beginning. Stargate, OpenAI\u2019s joint venture with Japan\u2019s SoftBank, also heavily plugged by Trump, plans to spend at least $100 billion on AI infrastructure in the US. In parallel, Elon Musk\u2019s xAI is massively expanding the Colossus supercomputer to contain more than 1million GPUs to help train its Grok AI models.

\nChina Has Edge Over US on Much More Than AI Models<\/strong><\/p>\n

I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct
\nNow to the war against the Global Majority. Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson is adamant: in an absolutely must read essay, he concisely explains that \u201cwhen Trump promised his voters that the United States must be the \u2018winner\u2019 in any international trade or financial agreement, he is declaring economic war on the rest of the world.\u201d
\nThe key Hudson take away: If nations in the Global South are to save their economy \u201cfrom being plunged into austerity, price inflation, unemployment and social chaos\u201d, they will have to \u201csuspend payments on foreign debts denominated in dollars.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s a work in progress: \u201cCircumstances\u2026are forcing the world to break away from the US-centered financial order. The US dollar\u2019s exchange rate is going to soar in the short term as a result of Trump blocking imports with tarif<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
