Apparently Trump concluded that f*cking a Chinese spy should be called "superintelligence." Also note that we were supposed to be pursuing this foolishness in service of "beating the Chinese." lol
Trump was briefed on the Jensen Huang situation a year ago
- chose to do nothing about it
- he was close to Huang
- Jensen Huang might have passed state secrets from Trump to Alice Huang
- Congress is sure to investigate
- Trump probably just made things worse for himself by pretending everything is totally fine.
SO WHO OWNS 12% OF ASG?
"For years, watchdogs and investigative journalists demanded to know who controlled the anonymous shell companies behind the expansion networks of the Alberta Surgical Group.
Judge Raymond Wyant finally solved the mystery:
The Payout:
The Wyant report formally revealed that BLAYNE ISKIW was given a 12% equity stake in the multi-million dollar Red Deer and Lethbridge private surgical expansions.
The Reason:
According to the report, Iskiw told the investigator that the clinic's owners gifted him this lucrative 12% slice of the profits simply for managing their "day-to-day business".
Wyant officially concluded that Iskiw operated in a clear, real conflict of interest.
The investigation proved that Iskiw was the primary AHS executive representing the public health authority during the original 2022 contract negotiations with ASG
Days after leaving his public job, he crossed the floor to collect private consulting fees and massive equity shares from the exact corporate entities he was just supposedly regulating on behalf of taxpayers.
Current status:
Following the public unmasking of his stakes, the provincial government completely canceled the $430-million expansion contracts for his firm, Prairie Surgical Centre.
Iskiw currently remains under intense scrutiny as both the Auditor General and the specialized RCMP anti-corruption unit track his personal banking data and metadata to determine if his dual-role actions crossed the line from a conflict of interest into criminal breach of trust.

I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I wonβt be able to do as many conversations about my book as Iβd hoped. However, Iβm hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.
Here we go: Fraud, breach of trust and money laundering inside the GOA!
Those are the criminal offences now confirmed to be under investigation by the RCMP in connection with procurement practices at Alberta Health and AHS.
This isnβt speculation. Itβs in writing, from a Crown prosecutor, in a letter filed with the Alberta courts.
For nearly two years, the UCP government has tried to distract and avoid accountability but they canβt hide forever.
I raised concerns about these contracting practices, and Albertans deserve answers.
The government can continue to deflect and deny, but it cannot avoid a criminal investigation.
Accountability will come calling.

π₯ russia in emergency mode over kerosene.
The Kremlin is urgently changing the rules for kerosene sales.
Why? Because russia is running short of the fractions needed to make winter diesel.
After the latest wave of strikes on refineries, they just slashed the mandatory exchange sales of aviation kerosene from 11% to 5%.
Ukraine's drones are doing what sanctions alone couldnβt do:
turning the fuel superpower into a country that fears the first frost.

I realize Iβm in a tiny minority here, but I consider Nvidia selling sensitive AI tech to a Chinese front org after Trump approved the sale despite warnings from US intelligence and Congress about security concerns to be a much bigger story than the Dana White foolish distraction.

The AI bubble is about to pop!!
π¨ TAIWAN IS TAKING EMERGENCY ACTION TO STOP ITS STOCK MARKET FROM CRASHING.
The AI selloff has become so severe that Taiwan is now restricting short selling and preparing a $15 BILLION emergency fund to support its stock market.
And the numbers are alarming.
β’ The TAIEX crashed over 12% last week, losing 5,510 points.
β’ On Friday alone, the index plunged as much as 9%, recording its biggest intraday point drop in history.
β’ Nearly $186 BILLION was wiped out from Taiwan's listed stocks by Friday's close.
β’ Foreign investors sold roughly $16 BILLION in Taiwanese shares in just five trading days.
β’ TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, fell 4.46% in Taiwan on Friday, after its U.S.-listed shares crashed 10.78% the previous day.
The selling has become so aggressive that Taiwan's government is stepping in.
Starting Monday, November 9:
1. The daily short selling limit for borrowed shares will be cut from 30% to just 3% of a stock's average trading volume.
2. Minimum short selling margin requirements will jump from 90% to 130%.
3. Authorities have authorized a $15 BILLION stabilization fund to support stocks if necessary.
Companies are also being encouraged to buy back their own shares.
But what's concerning is that this is happening despite TSMC reporting some of its strongest financial results ever.
Its latest quarterly revenue jumped 41% to $46.7 BILLION, with a massive 66.4% gross margin.
Yet investors are still aggressively selling semiconductor stocks as fears grow over the future of AI spending.
TSMC's U.S.-listed shares did recover 6.33% on Friday, but the broader market has suffered enormous losses.
Taiwan is one of the most important countries in the global semiconductor supply chain.
If the AI selloff continues, the damage could spread far beyond Taiwan, affecting chipmakers, equipment suppliers and companies investing hundreds of billions in AI infrastructure.
The fact that Taiwan is already preparing emergency market support shows just how serious this global AI selloff has become.

If you are on a social media app that is available to most of the world you should really define what government you are talking about. If itβs provincial then state that, ie: AB! People around the world think you are referring to our federal government! Be specific please!

MRAICHE AND PROPOSED SITES
"Two proposed private surgical sites were cancelled and multiple addiction recovery construction projects were halted due to issues and investigations surrounding Edmonton businessman Sam Mraiche.
The fallout involves two separate situations:
Private Surgical Facilities (Red Deer and Lethbridge):
Alberta Health Services (AHS) terminated procurement negotiations for two proposed Chartered Surgical Facilities (CSFs) in Red Deer and Lethbridge.
The Reason:
The facilities were proposed by Prairie Surgical Centre, a corporate entity partially owned by Mraiche. AHS cancelled the talks due to ongoing procurement investigations, intense conflict-of-interest concerns, and highly elevated pricing proposals that far exceeded internal AHS cost estimates.
Addiction Recovery Centres (MΓ©tis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation):
Construction ground to a halt at two high-profile addiction recovery sites due to a massive legal and financial dispute involving Mraiche.
The Reason:
A multi-million dollar legal battle erupted between Mraiche and a local contractor over $11 million in funnelled project funds.
Because of the legal deadlock, subcontractors were left unpaid by over $1.9 million, forcing them to walk off the job and halt construction on the MΓ©tis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation recovery centres.
Prairie Surgical Centre:
Prairie Surgical Centre is a private business venture consisting of numbered companies.
Corporate registry records and legal letters reveal it is owned by a joint partnership:
Sam Mraiche--25% stake.
The Edmonton businessman controls a quarter share of the operational entity through his business ventures;
Three Local Physicians:
Doctors D'Arcy Durand,
Leslie Scheelar, and
Kenneth Hawkins own a substantial portion.
Notably, these same three doctors own the completely separate Alberta Surgical Group, but Mraiche only holds a stake in Prairie Surgical Centre.
Blayne Iskiw & His Wife--12% stake. Iskiw is a consultant and former procurement official for AHS.
Metis Crossing and Tsuut'ina Nation Recovery Centers:
The MΓ©tis Crossing Facility (Healing Waters Recovery Community):
Owned by the Otipemisiwak MΓ©tis Government (the MΓ©tis Nation of Alberta). It is being built on their land near Smoky Lake using a $35 million provincial grant.
The Tsuut'ina Nation Recovery Centre:
Owned entirely by the Tsuut'ina Nation, a First Nation located just outside of Calgary, backed by millions in provincial grants.
Mraiche connection:
The Indigenous nations awarded the multi-million dollar construction contracts to a residential builder named Melewka Homes Ltd.
Court filings later revealed that Melewka Homes is deeply financially linked to Sam Mraiche.
Mraiche allegedly funnelled over $11 million into the project. This triggered a massive legal battle that ultimately caused the construction projects to freeze...1/
