I saw You Can See Everything again yesterday so I could try to deconstruct the magic tricks and talk to Kale Zelden about it on our MTSPodcast recording today. I really think Elizabeth Holmes thinks she's telling the truth. But something doesn't add up. There's this line in a New York Times article about her that she disputes saying: “They’re not playing me, they’re playing a character I created.” This was in reference to The Dropout, the Hulu series in which Amanda Seyfried plays Elizabeth Holmes. But Holmes DID seem to have created a character. The version of her we see in interviews during her tenure at Theranos is not the version of her we see in the YCSE. CEO Holmes is in costume (black turtlenecks in homage to Steve Jobs, high contrast makeup) AND in character. Her natural voice has a fairly deep register, but she dropped it even more in those days. Her cadence was direct and aggressive, her syllables clipped. In hindsight, it was clearly not her real speaking voice. Whether she adopted this intentionally or subconsciously, I don't know. So I made a video to compare. Watch these old interview clips side by side with these clips from nathan fielder's trailer. In YCSE, she's very feminine, softspoken, and her voice remains in a register that feels authentic. Her CEO voice was distinctly masculine, even bro-coded. The woman who convincingly swears she's never deceived anyone was on camera multiple times projecting a persona that was clearly not who she really is. It's very, very odd.

This is the best Christopher Walken impression you’ll ever see in your life. It’s not just the voice. It’s the utter absurdity.

I absolutely love this answer from Pete Hegseth. I have wondered for YEARS why we have been broadcasting our military strategy to the world before we carry it out. How unfathomably stupid have previous administrations been?

Look, I know I'm harping on this a lot today, but I can't stop thinking about Occam's Razor here: Why are we not seriously considering that the reason we allegedly have mystery craft that defy the laws of physics but do not have physicists because "the one type of person who could possibly help with this" IS EXACTLY WHO THEY DON'T WANT? Imagine for a moment that they have a crime scene that they are assigning unqualified personnel to. Why would you do that? Because you're trying not to solve the the crime, only to make it LOOK like you are. Why would you not try to solve a crime? Because you already know who did it. But you go through the motions because you don't want anyone to know you know. That raises other questions, of course, like, "did they already solve it a long time ago?" or "did they not need to solve it because they were told how it works by whoever made it?" Maybe I'm wrong. But it feels like the one answer that might answer the question, "Why not do the most obvious thing?"

Wow. Donald Trump Jr. asked Ross Coulthart what the new administration should do about the UAP issue (after Ross told him literal MURDER has been used to keep this secret) and this is what Ross fired back with:

I've watched Luigi Vendittelli's S4 documentary, and every Bob Lazar interview that's come out in the past couple of weeks. In my opinion, Jesse Michels's is hands down the best of them all. But I think my favorite part was Jesse's dozen-plus minute digression into explaining the exotic properties of Bismuth, which sits just above Moscovium (The now-named "Element 115" Lazar says powered the craft he was studying) and should share many of the same properties. I can see how much work went into this explainer. They spent so much time (and money) on the graphics and explanation. I don't have the science background to fully absorb all of this at the level of true comprehension, but I'm nerdy enough to have found it absolutely riveting: (Link to full podcast in reply)

...as it went around the back he went to get his phone. It came back around again, but further away and higher up. That's when he got this (admittedly, very blurry) video through his window:

Bob Lazar talks (or talks around it, to be more accurate) about why he doesn't show up as having gone to MIT: Lazar: "I was sent there, OK? And, if you're sent there for a specific reason...maybe to do some classified research or work...." Jesse Michels: "It's gonna be off the books." "Yeah, I mean, but it's also, you also can't talk about it, because, it's still...I mean, look, the government's never gonna come and prosecute me for -- at least I hope not -- for releasing information about S4. But, assuming I was working on a weapons system? That's still covered under the security agreement. And at this point in my life, I just don't want to make any waves." (Via Jesse Michels)

Mini-thread: My Catholic friends may roll their eyes at this, but I found this discussion between Jesse Michels, dwpasulka, and Col. Karl Nell fascinating. In this clip, they talk about the stigmata of Francis of Assissi and how it could relate to the UAP phenomenon 🧵👇

Here it is. Here's the footage of the UAP egg. It's weird, because, you know, it's an egg. But the context surrounding the retrieval makes it clear that it's not baby Yoshi or the world's largest omelet in waiting. How do you process this?
