Summary:

Solo breakdown tracing today’s Greenland obsession back through technocracy, apartheid-era lineage, and the billionaire class’s playbook for resource extraction and private “freedom city” enclaves.

I connect dots from Joshua Haldeman’s (Elon Musk’s grandfather) technocracy movement and white supremacist ideology to the modern PayPal-mafia billionaire bloc—and explain why Greenland sits at the center of their resource and autonomy agenda. We dig into Prospera, Praxis, and the push for deregulated fiefdoms masquerading as “innovation zones.”

Left in Exile Intro

Left in Exile Outro

The working answer is that when you have an incontinent dementia adult senior citizen in office throwing a tantrum, he can be easily directed to serve the interests of his billionaire backers.

That's the easy answer.

When you dig a little bit deeper, you might get a little bit more substance behind it. And understand that everything around the Arctic and particularly Greenland, holds the promise of untold riches in terms of rare earth minerals, gold and other things that are valuable for the US tech sector.

Dr. Jim: That's certainly part of the story, but in order to truly understand why Greenland is in the sights of the Trump regime, as well as all of the billionaires that are backing the Trump regime, we need to go much further back to really understand why there is this newfound obsession with Greenland.

We need to go much further back and understand the story of Joshua Hilderman, who is better known as Elon Musk's grandfather, and what was he known for? He was known to be a conspiracy theorist. He was a white supremacist.

He was a tech utopian politician and apartheid fan.

and it affected everybody.

For Haldeman specifically, he was convinced that the entire sequence of the Great Depression and the droughts that he faced was an engineer disaster designed to benefit a small group of people in society. And as a result of that financial crash, he was leery of financial institutions, governments, bureaucracies, and it's shaped his entire political philosophy throughout his life.

He also said that the [00:03:00] conspiracy was pushing for the fluoridation of water supplies, mandatory milk pasteurization, and mass vaccination programs. Just hearing that. What does that remind you of? Think of every kook, right wing podcaster and every kook, right-wing quote thinker, and every kook right-wing nut job that's in this regime, they have at one point or another, pushed every single one of those theories, everything under the umbrella of the deep state.

So what is the technocracy? So the technocracy, according to Hilderman, should be a government that's run by an elite few. The scientists, the engineers, not politicians, the best of the best. And who do you think he categorized as the best of the best in society? When you hear that you should be connecting the dots to the same ideology of the failed Austrian painter in 1930s and forties, Germany.

Now, Haldeman was so consumed by the desire to create this technocracy that he created two political parties in Canada, but he eventually ended up leaving Canada, uprooted his entire family, and went to South Africa because he was a big fan of their system of apartheid. While he was there upholding apartheid, he was also running around all of South Africa looking for some mythical city in the Kalahari.

And oh, by the way, Errol is just as much of a wing nut as Elon. Errol has the unique distinction of being so depraved that he ended up marrying one of his stepdaughters that he had known from the time that she was a baby.

That's how scummy these people are.

And when you think about the billionaire class and all of these elites and you hear about all of their entanglements included in a particular set of files. It should come as no surprise that these people are particularly fond of being groomers and predators.

Hilderman was already involved in politics as early as the age of 26, and he was becoming more and more aligned with the Technocracy movement that was moving through Canada in the mid thirties, all the way through the forties. And it should come as no surprise that a lot of the aesthetics of this movement, in terms of how they acted and how they behaved, had really strong callouts to what was happening in Germany.

took an active role in their publication, the Technocracy Digest.

What's interesting about. The technocracy movement in Canada in the mid 1940s is that even then elements of that movement were urging the US to take over Canada and Greenland by purchase negotiation or by force of arms. So when you think about this regime's obsession with taking over Canada and Greenland. Again, a straight line can be drawn back to the technocracy movement that Haldeman was a part of.

But when you look at that movement during that era, Haldeman wasn't one that was in favor of assimilation. He thought that when you look at the Technocracy movement. You need to exterminate first and have a monoculture in order for that technocratic movement to be successful. What does that sound like?

So throughout his life. Haldeman was a big fan of fascism. He was a big fan of apartheid. He was a big fan of the Technocracy movement, which advocated for a monoculture that incorporated all of North and Central America. And once the indigenous populations were exterminated, you have the settings necessary for the flourishing of this technocracy movement.

So when you consider. How Elon Musk's grandfather was a hardcore fascist, was a hardcore white supremacist, was a hardcore advocate for a north and central American monoculture that was in the hands and control of wealthy elite whites. You understand how that shows up in the policies of today's Trump administration.

There is no bigger advocate for both of those things than Elon Musk.

Musk has been committed to pushing all sorts of cery and all sorts of conspiracy theories, but he is particularly animated by pushing out the rhetoric that white Europeans and white Americans are going to become extinct because of all of the so-called rel races around the world.

And there's a reason why Musk is fully committed to pushing every far right party around the globe.

In addition to Musk, one of the big backers of these movements is Peter Thiel, another PayPal Mafia alum. And in fact, he was the leader of that group. So when you look at all of the tech billionaires that are in the Trump orbit, Peter Thiel. Is the Godfather, and then everyone else is part of that downline who all came out of the PayPal, space years ago.

it's no surprise that both Teal and Musk are pushing AI and when Teal was asked if he believes that a world would be a better place if humans didn't exist it took him several seconds more than what you would expect for a reasonable person to answer that question.

Ross Douthat: You would prefer the human race to endure, right?

Peter Theil: Uh,

Ross Douthat: you're hesitating.

Peter Theil: Yeah. Well, I, yes. I don't know. I, I would, I would, um,

Ross Douthat: this is a long hesitation. There's so many, many, this is a long hesitation.

Peter Theil: There's so many questions implicit in this.

Ross Douthat: Should the human race survive?

Peter Theil: Uh, yes. Okay. But, but, uh, I, I also would, um, I, I,

and, uh, and so, you know, it's always, I don't know, um, you know, yeah.

So in addition to Teal and Musk pushing the Trump regime into this acquisition mode, into playing the sa, following the same playbook that the failed Austrian painter from Germany played.

You have Ken Howie, who is a useful pawn in all of these efforts. Ken Howie is Trump's ambassador to Denmark. Who is also deeply intertwined with Teal and Musk and Ken Howery is one of the many billionaires who wants to set up freedom zones or low regulation zones where billionaires operate those regions as autonomous entities where they are the CEO and nobody else matters.

Another PayPal mafia alum that we need to pay attention to is David Sachs. He's another one of the venture capitalist parasite crowd that is infested in this regime.

Another slime ball billionaire to keep on your radar. Who has. Influence within this regime is Reid Hoffman. He was the former founder of LinkedIn and he worked at PayPal just like everybody else, and he has been an active proponent of cryptocurrencies in ai.

And then you have Alex Karp, who is the co-founder of Palantir with Peter Thiel.

And, and carp is not immune to the same type of wing nuttery that Peter Thiel. Is prone to.

Calling into question that AI models would actually be able to perform without orchestration. Every single one, uh, every single, uh, ology, every single one of those was viewed as stupid

Dr. Jim: When you think about carp and his influence in this regime. Obviously he heads up Palantir.

He's a big proponent of ai. He's a big fan of exterminating Palestinians, and he is a big fan of using AI and data to surveil and monitor the day-to-day life of every single person in the US and on the planet.

The net effect of doing that when you think about it is that everyone else lives in a polluted, filthy hellscape. While these people are living it up in their private enclaves. And if if you think this is all fearmongering.

We already have these freedom zones that are live and active in the world today.

So while the billionaire class have this private island, they've taken advantage of Honduran law to build a private city with their own rules and they've created their own wealthy utopia. That is completely ruining the ecosystem around them and is ruining the nation that they've extracted . And of course, within this enclave, you have Elon Musk's fingerprints in there because their connectivity to the external world is provided by starlink.

And what he's doing with. Praxis is collecting all of these funds to establish this high tech, high testosterone Eden that is exclusive to the billionaire class. And the reason why you see this regime going after Greenland is that Dryden Brown has had his eyes set on Greenland as the location for this utopia.

Brown built his vision while working for Bill Ackman. Another billionaire Parasite hedge fund founder. And he is committed to bringing this to a reality. He wants to bring forward a city built on Western values, whatever that means. I guess, rape, incest, extraction, and genocide is what he means when he says what values. And he wants to create a city that's similar to something that you would see out of the Iliad and Odyssey.

When you look at all of these things that are happening.

Taking over Canada, taking over Greenland, taking over Mexico, dominating North America and Central America as a unique sphere of influence for the United States. When you look at that combined with Freedom Cities like Prospera and Praxis, you see two things converging.

By way of Elon [00:20:00] Musk's grandfather, you draw a straight line from there through apartheid era South Africa, and from apartheid era South Africa, you have a cohort of the richest people in the world. The billionaire class, the tech billionaires of today colluding to create an exclusive society run by them.

Built on the extermination of everyone else.

These are the people that are in charge of this government and they have a useful dementia add old idiot to pull the lever for them. So when we think about this through line, Nazi ideology, elite billionaire class with their roots in apartheid era of South Africa and collusion and collaboration with the government to create elite social states that create paradise for them and hell for everybody else. We need to have a coherent action plan.

To head that off at the pass.

Something happens when you amass that level of wealth that makes you completely ignorant of the struggles of the average person . It is clear based on the policies that they're pushing and the. Vision that they have. They absolutely believe that they are entitled to live in an elite and exclusive existence. Everybody else are just resources that need to be exploited spent and disposed of.

So when you think about all of those connections. You're thinking about what needs to be done, there's only one conclusion that you can come to and that's billionaires should not exist.

South Africa and Apartheid era. South Africa really took off in the post Nazi era. So when you think about that ideology that permeates all of their DNAs, these are people that have no business having power because when they have power, what follows is the extermination of millions and millions of people.

Whether that's done at the barrel of a gun or at the stroke of a pen, it doesn't really matter. The net effect is the same. You have populations being wiped off of the map to benefit their extraction as policies. So the first thing that needs to be done at the earliest opportunities is to ensure that these billionaires, every single one of them, regardless of who they donate to need to be stripped down to.

A reasonable level of wealth.

Now you might be thinking that's harsh, but let's think about this. Every single problem that we have today is because billionaires exist since the 1980s. There's been a $90 trillion wealth transfer that's gone from the bottom 90% to the billionaire class, and the net effect has been. The vast majority of the people in the US are struggling to make ends meet while the rich continue to get richer.

In order for us to stop that trend and reverse it, we need to be absolutely committed to making sure that billionaires become extinct.

The billionaires are behind it. It's part of their extraction is philosophy and it's their commitment to genocide and their willingness to do it. That's rooted in white supremacy. That has got us to this position where we are at the brink of a global catastrophe and a global war.

This should be all the evidence that we need, that every single person in this regime is corrupt and all of their enablers need to pay the ultimate price for the damage that they've caused.
