Has anyone considered why Greenland is such a big deal to the trump Administration?
Donny and his butt boyz have been trying to provoke some sort of response for the island of Greenland…..there have been many theories on why Donny wants Greenland so bad…..the natural resources or as a base for protection of the US or….like I said many theories but the only one that makes sense to me is the concept of “Freedom City”….
Just what is ‘Freedom City’….and the Robber Barons that are pushing the idea….
A handful of wealthy, politically connected Silicon Valley investors are reportedly eyeing Greenland’s icy shores as the site for a techno-utopian “freedom city.”
That’s according to a report from Reuters, which details a proposed effort to establish a new, libertarian-minded municipality characterized by minimal corporate regulation and a focus on accelerating emerging technologies like AI and mini nuclear reactors. Supporters of increased economic development in Greenland argue its frigid climate could naturally cool massive, energy intensive AI data centers. Large deposits of critical and rare earth minerals buried beneath the island’s ice sheets could also potentially be used to manufacture consumer electronics.
The so-called “start-up city”—which bears similarities to another ongoing venture in California’s Solano County—reportedly already has the backing of PayPal founder Peter Thiel and Ken Howery, President Donald Trump’s pick for Denmark ambassador. If confirmed by the Senate, Howery would lead US discussions to acquire Greenland. In that role, Howery could potentially act as a bridge linking the audacious freedom city investors with the US government.
…
The Reuters report cites claims Howery, Thiel, and prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist Marc Andreesen are amongst the most prominent names backing the Greenland effort. Howery, who still needs the US Senate to confirm his position as ambassador to Denmark, is reportedly a long-time friend of billionaire Elon Musk and formerly founded a venture capital firm with Thiel. Thiel, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the loudest supporters, both vocally and financially, of the “Seasteading” movement, which is trying to build floating, stateless utopia cities in the ocean. Andressen, notably, is also part of a tech-investor consortium California Forever looking to build the city in Solano County. Each of these efforts—along with others like the already existing city Próspera in Honduras—are united by libertarian political ideals, a focus on technological development, and lots of money.
Rumors around the proposed Greenland city date back at least to November 2024 when Praxis co-founder Dryden Brown fired off a series of tweets explaining how he had tried to purchase land in Greenland. Praxis is a self-described “internet-native nation” crypto startup with a stated goal of “restor[ing] Western civilization,” and has reportedly received over $525 million in funding to start building out new cities. Brown told Reuters he has since been approached by several companies to explore establishing a new city on Greenland.

There you have it….just another way for rich bastards to make more and more money while not having to worry about regulations, laws, taxes, on and on….this is not about enriching the nation in some way but rather doing so for their wealthy butt-lickers.
I say fuck’em…. these d/bags should be paying their way through the system and not being allowed stop using the US as their private ATM.
Time for people to realize that these slugs are not in it to help the working people but rather to milk all the energy out of the nation and use their ill-gotten gains to buy a yacht…we mean nothing to these parasites….we are lower than the lowest to them.
Wake up!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Maybe someone should ask Denmark to rent some land to these parasites at a huge cost and then you can all go to the airport to wave them off. Good riddance etc. Make sure Teump goes too.
If only….LOL chuq
My friend was Production Manager on a TV show that filmed in Greenland…they have NO resources for feeding themselves, everything is brought in…arctic conditions most of the year…so billionaires: knock yourself out and get out of our sight.
Only if they give up their citizenship and cannot use US soil for any reason. chuq
they were trying to buy enough land in California to establish their own, independent city-state that would be completely severed from state, local and even federal law, would pay no taxes, etc.. More or less a city for the rich, of the rich and by the rich, with an underclass of basically what would amount almost literally to serfs or indentured servants to do all of the dirty work. That plan fell apart when the people of California basically told the to go f**k themselves. Basically a land based version of their “Sealandia” wet dream. That fiasco was supposed to be some kind of huge, floating cruise ship or something similar, that would be exempt from all taxes, laws, etc. because it would be out floating in international waters. Which sounded like a grand idea to some of them until someone pointed out that hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis don’t give a fig about how much money they have.
Now it seems they’ve turned their sights on Greenland as the next likely candidate for locating their oligarch’s utopia.
Basically they all think they’re oh so very “special” and should therefore be allowed to be parasites on the rest of the world, sucking up its resources.
That is the problem they think they are somehow special….they are not they are nothing but thieves in the night. chuq
Trying to use US military power to threaten to annexe part of another sovereign country, obscenely greedy billionaires raping the planet and avoiding tax. Just another day in modern America…
Best wishes, Pete.
We do have our arrogant slobs and most are rich and could care less about this country or what they are doing to the planet…..chuq
