Taiwan, Tech & the Silent War Over Wires - May 19, 2025

May 19, 202541mS1E4The Grind with Art Grindstone

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.

In this episode

  • 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
