Hello John and Doves,
Check out my first letter
this week on Anthropic....
President Trump stepped in
an hour before the ultimatum was due and squashed
it.
On February 27, 2026 it was
reported that "Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies
to begin phasing out the use of Anthropic technology,
following the company's unusually public dispute with the
Pentagon over artificial intelligence safety."
"The directive from Trump
came just over an hour before the Pentagon's deadline for
Anthropic to permit unrestricted military use of its AI
technology or face severe repercussions. This followed
nearly 24 hours after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated his
company "cannot in good conscience accede" to the Defense
Department's demands."
The Pentagon gave Anthropic
a $200 million dollar contract to develop AI for U.S.
national security. The DoD should have total control
over how that technology is used. Information on its
'limitations' should be noted by Anthropic then shared with
the DoD. But that's it. The DoD has used
other AI and is aware of 'issues'. And the DoD has
stated they have no plans to spy on Americans with Claude or
allow Claude sole access to weapon systems - humans would
always be involved. (It should be noted that
OpenAI/Sam Altman also is "seeking to negotiate a deal with
the Pentagon to deploy its models in classified systems with
exclusions preventing use for surveillance in the US or to
power autonomous weapons without human approval..."
What do these AI companies know that we don't???)
President Trump has stepped
in and squashed the whole thing.
"President Trump ordered the
US government on Friday to stop using the artificial
intelligence company Anthropic's products and the Pentagon
moved to designate the company a national security risk..."
President Trump wrote that
"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a disastrous
mistake trying to strong-arm the Department of War, and
force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our
Constitution. Therefore, I am directing every Federal
Agency in the United States Government to immediately cease
all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it,
we don't want it, and will not do business with them
again." There will be a six-month phase out.
Defense Secretary Hegseth
"posted on X that he was labeling Anthropic a supply chain
risk to national security, blacklisting it from working with
the U.S. military or contractors." He "accused the
company of trying to seize veto power over the operational
decisions of the United States military."
"The government ban comes at
a time when Anthropic is under heightened scrutiny, since
the company, which is valued at $380 billion, is planning to
go public this year."
Elon Musk's XAI also has DoD
contracts and has been approved for "use in classified
settings."
Anthropic is worth $380
billion - the DoD contract is piddly. But, the DoD
gave Anthropic it's start. We'll see where it goes
from here.
Probably most Americans know
they are already being spied on or 'watched' - through their
Smart TVs, cell phones, their vehicles, CCTV, Ring cameras,
and then there are the DoD aerial craft - the balloons, the
RC-135s, etc that are up over the US all the time....to name
a few. We don't want more surveillance - that's for
sure, but I also don't want Claude ending up in the hands of
the Chinese or ?? If you check my other letter on
Anthropic today note the war games it was involved in - it
was the 'winner - hands down!'. DoD wouldn't want to
go up against that.
Pentagon contractors
shouldn't have a say in how the DoD uses their products and
services...but AI is a whole nother technology. Seeing
it in DoD operations - even wars - knowing that ChatGPT,
Claude, etc 'hallucinate', cheat, deceive, emotionally
manipulate, lie and scheme - and it can be hacked!
Check out this letter from August 2025 ......very sobering
information.
I wonder what AI China,
Iran, Russia are using for their war department planning and
operations....
China:
Iran:
Russia:
Everyone is in a race for AI
on the battlefield.
God help us.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
