Deep Seek And Destroy - Part Two - Palisades Fire Case

Artificially Success For Artificial Intelligence

Jan 11, 2025

You have probably never heard of Deep Seek or Deep Seek Labs, but they are conducting a live exercise right now that started just before the current Palisades and other fires near Los Angeles.

Article synopsis

Deep Seek Labs, an opaque Chinese start-up, began a real-time “AI wildfire-prevention” drill in Southern California just before the Palisades and other Los Angeles fires ignited. Because the firm is headquartered in China, its finances escape U.S.-style disclosure, yet it is collecting vast imagery over some of the state’s wealthiest ZIP codes. The author, George Webb, argues that letting a foreign actor run fire experiments on U.S. soil should alarm both residents and regulators.

Governor Gavin Newsom had already touted Deep Seek’s technology in a June 2023 press event, even though home-grown giants—Google, Meta, Grok/SpaceX, and OpenAI—offer rival systems. In December and January the writer held two Silicon Valley seminars, probing tech insiders about Deep Seek’s sudden rise and the still-unsolved murder of AI whistle-blower Suchir Balaji. Shouts of “Chinese Communist Party” from the audience reinforced suspicions that the company is a CCP proxy.

The piece claims Deep Seek will harvest terabytes of satellite data from the current infernos, accelerating its model and positioning the firm to win a lucrative state contract—much like Sputnik triggered a U.S. space-technology boom. U.S. fire agencies, meanwhile, have tested “Dragon Egg” incendiary capsules dropped from drones for controlled burns, a capability critics fear could be misused against politically “undesirable” neighborhoods. Webb warns that a “Wildfire Sputnik” moment could normalize AI-guided FireSat constellations able both to start and extinguish blazes.

Finally, the essay links today’s program to a larger “Operation Blackjack” blueprint—an AI-driven satellite-and-drone network sketched at RAND and JPL, ostensibly for fire suppression but adaptable to low-intensity warfare. Parallel research on muon-detection satellites for mineral mapping shows how dual-use payloads can hide under civilian covers. With private partners like Muon Space and the Moore Foundation already pitching “Fire Is Nature’s Solution,” Webb asks whether any president has quietly green-lit a Deep Seek-style “Deep Seek And Destroy” architecture.

People and entities

Deep Seek Labs—led by Liang Wenfeng—stands at the center as an alleged CCP-linked AI firm conducting a live wildfire drill that doubles as a massive data-harvesting operation. California Governor Gavin Newsom, eager for high-tech wildfire tools, showcased Deep Seek despite in-state competitors Google, Meta, Grok/SpaceX, and OpenAI. Tech whistle-blower Suchir Balaji’s unsolved killing, journalist George Webb’s Task Force Orange reporting, and citizen witnesses like Kate Hampstead and Frau Hodl feed the narrative of secrecy and geopolitical intrigue.

Institutional actors broaden the picture: U.S. fire agencies experimenting with “Dragon Egg” incendiary spheres; RAND Corporation and NASA’s JPL, which devised dual-use FireSat concepts now pursued by start-ups such as Muon Space; and the Moore Foundation partnering on the “Fire Is Nature’s Solution” initiative. Historical references—from Cold-War “Sputnik psychosis” to the speculative Operation Blackjack drone-satellite grid—illustrate how emergency technology can morph into coercive power. Together these people, companies, and agencies portray a collision of state politics, foreign influence, and cutting-edge AI that could redefine fire as both weapon and business model.

Deep Seek and Deep Seek Labs are mysterious and opaque because they are based in China and don’t have to bother about the SEC looking into their financial statements. But a foreign actor like China conducting a “fire study” in the wealthier neighborhoods of Los Angeles should give us pause.

Did you know that Liang Wenfeng of Deep Seek was now conducting a Live Exercise in Southern California for wildfire prevention?

Do you remember California Governor Gavin Newsom having a press conference about Deep Seek Labs doing an AI fire prevention system in Los Angeles before the breakout of the disastrous fires raging now?

Why wouldn’t California AI companies conduct this AI fire prevention exercise with fire prevention pilot products like Google, Meta, Grok, and OpenAI?

I conducted two seminars in Silicon Valley near Google, Meta, Open AI, and Grok AI, in late December and early January before the fires, asking Deep Seek’s competitors what they knew about Deep Seek. I was also investigating Deep Seek’s potential involvement in the murder of AI Whistleblower, Suchir Balaji.

Several tech industry insiders shouted “Chinese Communist Party” from the crowd when I mentioned Deep Seek.

The “Chinese Communist Party” answer for Deep Seek is recorded in my January 3rd, 2025, outreach in Silicon Valley, where you can hear several “Chinese Communist Party” shouts. I assumed these top AI companies knew who their Chinese competitor was, so I have to take their word that Deep Seek is connected with the Chinese Communist Party.

So why are the Chinese Communist Party and Deep Seek Labs conducting an “AI wildfire evaluation” in Los Angeles, compared to Google FireSat, Grok/SpaceX, Meta, or Open AI, all California companies with employees with security clearances?

I don’t know about you, but I would prefer a California AI company that I can talk to about what they are doing to orchestrate an “AI fire prevention” Live Exercise in the Los Angeles area right now.

Wouldn’t Deep Seek have the incentive to have an “AI Fire Simulation” success after these wildfires are over? Wouldn’t these catastrophic fires in Southern California provide Deep Seek with the Terabytes of satellite imagery to train their Deep Seek Fire AI system?

Why were US Fire Agencies issued “Dragon Eggs” or “great balls of fire” to initiate controlled burns in 2023 from drones? “Dragon Eggs” doesn’t sound good.

This is starting to feel like another Sputnik Mass Formation Psychosis where we kneejerk emotionally react to give Deep Seek a long-term contract in California.

Is this “Wildfire Sputnik,” ushering in a new generation of FireSat satellites driven by AI and drones? Couldn’t those same drones drop “Dragon Eggs” on our neighborhoods if they got “too red” or “too Trump” or “too whatever”?

Are launching FireSats going to be for delivering “Dragon Eggs” and then putting them out after the “controlled burn” is over? That is exactly what Deep Seek Labs is currently testing during the Southern California fires.

Proposed FireSat system - January 2025, Google, Muon Space, (and I believe JPL)

My former partner Jenny Moore, AKA Task Force, described an AI/Drone/Satellite system for low-intensity warfare called Operation Blackjack operating under the civilian cover of fire satellites.

While at CERN in Switzerland and France in 2022, I reported on using Muon detection for gold, silver, and rare earth metals could be enabled with addition Muon detecting satellites.

The plan was originally created at the Rand Corporation and JPL in Pasadena for a satellite drone surveillance and countermeasures system under the civilian cover of fire prevention.
