Andreessen Horowitz Hires More Killers
New headline:
“Andreessen Horowitz, the powerhouse venture capital firm managing approximately $45 billion, is looking to expand its presence in the Israeli market. The leading Silicon Valley fund is inviting graduates of elite IDF units, whether they’ve already founded a startup or are just beginning to consider one, to an exclusive introductory event for its a16z speedrun program”
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), continues to stuff itself with the most depraved murderers and psychopaths. They hired Daniel Penny earlier this year, who choked a mentally ill Black man, Jordan Neely, straight up killing him. Penny now works for the a16z American Dynamism practice. (Where the weapons are)
Andreessen Horowitz is also an investor in the company Shift, which shoves military veterans into startups. The a16z company Coinbase, in 2023 announced “We created a VIP page to hire people with extraordinary ability @coinbase . If you've shipped a popular open source library, built a large online following, won a math/eng/gaming competition, were part of a special forces unit, or built something awesome, say hello.”
Also wtf does “elite IDF” mean? The fucking worst of the war criminals? What is the bodycount measured in dead babies on these people that a16z wants?
This is “natural” insomuch as it coincides with a16z being a, if not the, critical financier for a massive venture capital military apparatus, which is actively couping the US military to replace the existing primes (Lockheed, Raytheon, General Electric, etc). Per Shana Marshall for Responsible Statecraft:
How VC is busting the Military Industrial Complex — for its own benefit
… today’s biggest VC titans are making transformative investments in military technology that pose serious consequences far beyond another hype-driven tech bubble. Weaponizing their financial assets to expand the production of war material will not only divert technological resources away from other critical domestic priorities, but also forge novel devices of warfare that will generate demand for battlefield testing grounds both at home and abroad….
The fingerprints of VC priorities are everywhere: from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital and the Small Business Investment Company/SBIC initiative to the Defense Innovation Board, a collection of Silicon Valley scions elevated to a permanent department under the Secretary of Defense in October 2023.
Typically, the Pentagon acquires technologies or equipment through private contracts with a company or by supplying grants to provide funds for research and development. The new Office of Strategic Capital, established in December 2022, lets the Pentagon behave less like a public agency and more like a VC investor.
Responsible Statecraft does great reporting on this and the coup of the military, which is going largely ignored.
The venture capital apparatus is now inhaling war criminals, psychopaths, child killers, genocidists, at an incredible pace. Their radicalization has not settled in, but has only begun, as they merge even further with disgusting pathetic deranged and depraved Israel and its fucking sick monstrous child killers, torturers and rapists, unrepentant.
It goes to this element of sociopathy across the board, the lack of empathy which is so deep that it sees all of these things and says: this is good. More. And they are specifically hiring for this, growing for this, and have and are systematically pushing out all people who are not war-mongering bloodthirsty animals from the field of computing.
We are against an enemy that is changing.
A quality of fascism is the move of capitalist production and industrial capacity towards warfare. Per Dutt, in Fascism and Social Revolution:
“For the wolves and jackals of finance-capital, war represents ‘our industrial rescue.’ The gathering expectation of the close approach of war finds increasingly frequent expression in the speeches of the statesmen of all countries.
Typical was Mussolini’s ‘War ToDay’ declaration in his speech to the officers at the Italian army manoeuvres in August, 1934 ‘War is in the air and might break out at any moment. We must prepare, not for a war for to-morrow, but for a war of to-day.’
… The propaganda of war spreads. War begins to be presented as the heroic alternative, the last hope, the ‘way out’ from the unending nightmare of economic crisis, misery and unemployment. Fascism, the most complete expression of modern capitalism, glorifies war….
War is only the continuation and working out of the crisis of capitalism and of the present policies of capitalism. It is inseparable from these, and cannot be treated in isolation. All the policies of capitalist reorganisation, all the policies of Fascism, can only hasten the advance to war…
All the existing policies of capitalism are policies of eversharpening war: of ever more formidably organised imperialist blocs; of tariff-war, of gold-war, of currency-war; of war with every possible economic, diplomatic and political weapon.
Sidenote, Dutt on fascism is essential reading for this and all moments under capitalism. Rather than the typical treatment of fascism in a metaphysical, purely ideological and unserious manner, it is a material treatment of fascism. You can listen to the audiobook from Socialism for All.
Among other things, the venture capital body, the rising fascist bloc, is not satisfied by committing the genocide, nor by the imminent gain of a Network State on Gaza. The warmongering for China is the ultimate goal, which we are steadily building towards. I am worried for the people of China. And for us. It’s everyone vs the Network State now.
