While eyes are on the Middle East, a secret war is red hot, and the government is trying to cover it up. As you sit comfortably in your favorite La-Z-Boy recliner, you won’t hear the echoes of gunfire or see breaking news alerts flashing across your screen because this war goes far deeper than bullets can reach. However, the implications of this war will impact every aspect of your life and the lives of your great-grandchildren.
This war is for the future of artificial intelligence and whether America will lead the world into the next great technological revolution or be outpaced by authoritarian rivals like China, but it doesn’t stop there.
The most shocking part is that almost no one is paying attention because the government doesn't want to know what it's doing.
At the dawn of the internet era in the early 1990s, the United States and Europe made dramatically different decisions about how to foster digital innovation. Europe took the path of control: regulation, taxation, and bureaucratic oversight. The result? A continent rich in culture but barren of world-leading tech giants.
America, by contrast, embraced liberty. Congress passed legislation that established a zone of freedom, allowing startups to flourish without excessive regulation, taxation, or litigation. It was chaotic, competitive, and creative. That ‘Wild West’ of innovation birthed a tech boom unlike anything the world had ever seen. AOL gave way to Google, MySpace to Facebook, Netscape to Apple, and the U.S. to global dominance.
Today, the so-called “Magnificent ”Seven”—Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia—collectively hold more market value than every public company in Europe combined. That’s not an accident. It’s the result of letting capitalism, not committees, drive innovation.
Then came the crypto revolution: from stable coins to DeFi coins, they sprung up overnight unfettered by government regulations, and it boomed! Tens of billions of dollars flowed into wallets and cold storage. Now, the government is accelerating its efforts to not only control and regulate these radical crypto coins, but also to enslave them through complex taxation schemes. Ask yourself, why is the Security Exchange Commission working overtime to grab the crypto surge? The goal is to seize control and impose taxes.
Now the age of AI is upon us. Artificial intelligence is here and growing exponentially. This isn’t just another tech trend. It’s the engine that will define the 21st century, the electricity of the digital age. AI can see, speak, think, and act. It can build homes, write novels, operate on humans, and predict market trends. It can eliminate drudgery, amplify productivity, and uplift lives in every corner of the globe.
According to Goldman Sachs, AI could add $7 trillion to global GDP within the next decade. That’s more than the entire GDP of Japan. Yet just as we stand on the brink of this extraordinary leap, lawmakers are lining up with pens poised to strangle the golden goose. Once again, ask yourself, why? The goal is to seize power and impose taxes.
Make no mistake: this war is not just a battle between companies. This is a geopolitical conflict between various government systems. America’s model is one of free enterprise, innovation, and decentralization. Beijing, China is pouring resources into AI, not to empower citizens, but to surveil them, to build a dystopia where every thought and action is cataloged by the state.
Even with its vast resources and manpower, China cannot match Silicon Valley's dynamism unless we allow our own government to suppress our innovators from within.
The war is growing! Over 1,000 pieces of AI-related legislation have already been introduced across U.S. states this year alone. The regulatory avalanche is poised to crush the entrepreneurial spirit that has made America great.
Here it is; the truth is uncomfortable: the biggest threat to American AI dominance doesn’t come from abroad. It comes from the halls of Congress, from state capitals, and from bureaucrats who want to “help” by slowing us down, caging our companies in red tape, and imposing “ethics” panels that mistake fear for foresight.
But the real secret is the fat-cat political machine sees AI as another cash cow for tax revenue, a tree ready to be shaken, and a ripe harvest ready to be plucked!
Fear is driving the narrative now. Policy makers are using dystopian sci-fi as their rationale. But regulating AI now, while it’s still in its formative stage, so the bourgeoning technology can be controlled and taxed is nothing less than kamikaze economics.
In 1994, when the issue of internet regulations was quashed, giving this newborn technology room to breathe and grow. But this time the hunger for fresh, juicy, delicious tax dollars may just be too much to ignore.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said it best during a Senate hearing: “It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations. That will slow us down at a time where I don't think it's in anyone's interest for us to slow down.” And he's right. Every unnecessary delay is a gift to China.
The best, and only, way for America to win this secret war is to unleash our innovators. Let the private sector lead. Let AI bloom in garages, startups, and labs unencumbered by central planning.
What history teaches us is clear: government is addicted to spending money, not inventing the future. The internet, smartphones, e-commerce, cloud computing, and cryptocurrency, none came from Washington. All came from risk-takers and dreamers who ignored the noise and built anyway.
Final Word: Uttered years ago by Ronald Reagan on August 15, 1986: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” Need I say more?

As someone who uses Adobe software for design projects, I see that AI is or has replaced thinking practicing professional designers. Each program that I use, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, gets dumber and more stupid. I have been using Adobe since it's beginning, and the beauty of it was always, that once someone learned it, it seemed almost intuitive, extra steps were not required. It just was. Now, not so much. It is getting stupid and not so slowly. Handles/bounding boxes go all the way to Georgia, I have to zoom out again and again to find the thing. Overlapping functions between one program that is for type control to the 0th degree and page layout, and one for drawing, the functions are different but the ai thinks they internix just fine. Not true. One is for paths and points. One is for exact control of type, alignmnent, tracking, leading, indents, etc., etc., etc., all the things that show a designer knows what he or she is doing. Really aggrivating to see this and have to figure out stupid.
I would like to see ai regulated, so criminals who commit crimes against humanity for profit, do not have carte blanche with abuse of same.
AI development began right around 2000 and to date it has done much more good than it has done bad. Just like the discovery of the ability to harvest nuclear energy, AI can be used for good or it can be used for evil. If the United States, a nation which is founded on the most noble principles of governance since the time of Moses, fails to lead the development of AI, then Communist China, a nation founded on repression, slavery, control, and an enduring desire to rule the world, will lead that development. Which would you rather have?
AI will end up being the tool of the antichrist! Pray our govt will stop it
Instituting "morality" into software cannot happen. It is only the minds of men who love the LORD who can stop this. Intervention by our God is needed to stop this and give a GO to that billion soul harvest where people are also delivered of evil mindsets/spirits. Political ruling spirits, right in front of our faces.
That spirit always needs an enemy.
They love us! https://canadafreepress.com/article/raging-secret-war-the-governmen... & Townhall.com
I see Ai as one more beast system. At some point, we will have no way to know what is true or not.
"no way to know what is true or not." thats what happen when a good tool falls into the hands of evil men. The reverse is coming when people turn their swords into plow shares.
THAT we need. The sleeping church needs to get UP and decree a thing. Spiritual 1st, not last. Suchir was murdered for his awareness of the danger. What is to keep it FROM being a beast system? Only a righteous and moral people can do that, Steve.
