Taiwan, Tech & the Silent War Over Wires - May 19, 2025
Season 1 · Episode 4
Art Grindstone tears into the quietest war you’re not watching—one waged with semiconductors, deepfakes, and electromagnetic sabotage. As China rethinks its Taiwan playbook in the shadow of Ukraine’s resilience, a new kind of warfare emerges: less blitzkrieg, more bandwidth. Tonight’s intel drop includes:
- Beijing’s shift from tanks to troll farms, fiber-tapping submarines, and “routine” drone incursions
- How Taiwan’s silicon could short-circuit the global economy overnight
- The stealthy rise of “grey-zone warfare” in the Pacific—and why it’s already begun
- Solar storms colliding with failing power grids: coincidence or convergence?
- A sun dimming its halo, whispering the return of an Ice Age while satellites stagger in orbit
- Petroglyphs decoded as ancient plasma storms—myths that may be memories
- And the military ghost jet that never was: the F-55
