. Jeremy Boreing asked me how we can help young men find meaning and purpose. Not philosophically…practically. First, I addressed what we are doing wrong. We are not meeting them where they are, on their terms, and until we do that, they won’t be receptive. Gen-Z is not proactively seeking advice, so we have to bring it to them. Second, we need to acknowledge that certain things in their life ARE hard. Too many in the “older” generations are not acknowledging this and simply telling them to “suck it up.” But…we then need to demonstrate to them that life has always been hard and we need to give them that perspective. How do we do this? Make “rites of passage” great again. Getting your driver’s license (I meet so many young people who simply Uber everywhere and thus never got a license). Making the varsity football team (so many young people gave up on sports during Covid). Asking a girl on a date: face-to-face. You become a “legal” adult on your 18th birthday. But you become an actual adult when you acquire enough life experiences that deem you mature enough to BE an adult and these come through rites of passage. Right now we have a generation of young males trying to “learn” manhood from the manosphere which is the definition of immaturity. A “rite of passage” is about triumphing through and beyond something. The manosphere’s business model is to keep young men stuck. It creates followers, not leaders. Perhaps the most important rite of passage we can provide these young men right now is to leave this nonsense and go on with building their lives on their own terms. Young men need the dirt under their fingernails that comes from REAL life experiences, not the calluses on their fingers that come from constant screen swipes.

Let's head over to France to see how the smoking teen girls are doing. Kassandra (on the left) is doing a fun Peri live with her younger sister, and both girls waste no time to pull out the ciggies. Just look how much fun they're having, rocking to the music while they're pumping themselves full of delicious nicotine. And these cuties are already so mature and accomplished; holding in the smoke after every drag to ensure that their lungs absorb all the nicotine pleasure into their bodies. That's all the more amazing when we learn that Kassandra is only fifteen, and her sister is barely fourteen. So no inappropriate comments, please. But it just goes to show why French girls are such accomplished, cool smokers. They start off at such a young age and are already so experienced by their mid teens. And it's clear from this video that their parents just allow them to enjoy themselves; that these girls can smoke as much as they want as soon as they want to. And who can blame them when it feels so fun and relaxing. No wonder French teen girls are all so heavily addicted before they're even adults. Every teen girl should be allowed to have this much fun. #smoking #smokingfetish #sexysmoker #sexysmoking #cigarette #girlsmoke #smokingwoman #smokinggirl #smokingbabe #smokingbeauty #cig #chainsmoker #heavysmoker #girlswhosmokecigarette #chainsmoking #girlswhosmoke #smokingmodel #smokinghot #smoker #smokergirl #cigarette #addicted #smokingaddiction #livesmoking #lightingup #deepinhale #exhale #teensmoking #teensmoker #smokingteen #cutegirl #coolgirl #frenchgirl #frenchsmoker

What if your teenager's sudden "ADHD" struggles are actually a silent cry from a brain that's being poisoned—turning vibrant young minds into ones that look decades older, all while they're desperately hiding the truth? In a heart-wrenching revelation, child psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen describes the emotional moments in his clinics when he shows 16- and 17-year-olds their brain scans: toxic, damaged patterns that force tears and confessions. These aren't lifelong ADHD cases—true ADHD starts early. Late-onset chaos often stems from hidden toxins like undisclosed substance use, moldy homes, or untreated infections like Lyme, making healthy teen brains appear prematurely aged and broken. Amen's approach is profoundly human: He teaches kids just how precious their brain is—the command center for every thought, feeling, relationship, and dream. Seeing the visual proof of harm becomes a turning point, breaking through denial and sparking promises of change. Yet he firmly warns: Piling on stimulants won't heal a brain already under assault. After 43 years witnessing these stories, he challenges the idea that certain habits are truly "harmless." This isn't just science—it's a parent's deepest fear and a child's unspoken plea brought to light. Could routine brain imaging save countless young lives from spiraling misdiagnoses and irreversible damage?Watch this powerful 3:08 clip. It might just change how you see teen mental health forever. Parents, educators, or anyone who's watched a teen struggle—what hit you hardest here? Have you uncovered a hidden root cause that turned things around?

This morning, I got on the Palle Velugu bus from Mangalagiri to Penumaka - not as a minister, but as someone who just wanted to listen. I sat with Divyang brothers and sisters. Some were heading to work, some to the market, and some were simply going about their day. As the bus moved, so did the conversations - quiet, honest and full of the kind of strength that doesn't announce itself. One conversation, though, stayed with me more than the rest. A young man, studying to become a special educator at JNTU, turned to me and said something I won't forget easily. He quoted Amartya Sen’s “Double Handicap” concept, telling me that persons with disabilities carry more financial burden than the general public just to live the same life. "This Divyanga Shakti policy doesn't just reduce that burden," he said. "It gives us the chance to contribute - to the state, to the country. That's what makes it meaningful." Here was a young man, navigating his own challenges every day, already training himself to serve others with disabilities, and he was thinking about nation-building. That kind of perspective is humbling. Divyanga Shakti isn't really about transportation. It's about a person being able to leave their house in the morning and not have to think twice about how they'll get there. It's dignity in something as ordinary as a commute, and as that young man from JNTU reminded me, it's also an investment in what our people can give back when given the chance. I'm grateful to Hon. PM Sri Narendra Modi ji, whose belief in a truly inclusive India has never wavered, and to Hon. CM Sri N Chandrababu Naidu garu, who has worked hard to make that belief real on the ground - in villages, in towns, on routes like the one I travelled today. We have more to do. But today reminded me exactly why. #DivyangaShakti

Beyond the Label: The Lifelong Sexual and Emotional Damage Linked to SSRIs. The greatest medical scandal of our generation is unfolding in silence, and its victims are the young, the vulnerable, and the trusting. A devastating condition the pharmaceutical industry hopes you never learn about is Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). This is not a temporary side effect; it is a permanent, life-altering injury occurring in countless individuals, long after they have stopped taking antidepressant medication. Currently in communication with a 23-year-old woman from Vanderbilt University, whose life has been irrevocably damaged. Her story is one of total genital numbness and physical atrophy—a tangible, visible change to her body. The most heartbreaking part? She can no longer feel fundamental human emotions like love. These drugs have not only stolen her sexuality but have severed her connection to the very emotions that define the human experience. This is not an isolated case. It is an epidemic. A single Reddit support group for PSSD sufferers has over 13,000 members. It is a digital tomb filled with the stories of young people whose lives have been permanently ruined. They are not "just depressed." They are chemically castrated and emotionally blunted by the very treatment that was supposed to help them. The science confirms this is not "in their heads." Groundbreaking research by Dr. Irwin Goldstein found actual physical damage in the tissue of young men with PSSD. Their tissue was equivalent to that of a man in his 70s or older. This is tangible, biological destruction. The scope of this catastrophe is staggering. With an estimated 1 in 6 people on antidepressants, how many are silently suffering this fate? Desperate for relief, victims are turning to dangerous, experimental treatments out of sheer hopelessness. The stance here is unequivocal: these drugs are poison. We have witnessed friendships end and cognitive decline in people in their early 30s, which we attribute directly to these medications. This is a clarion call. The cover-up for monetary gain must end. The millions in profit must not be allowed to silence the thousands of lives destroyed. The world needs to hear the victims' stories. Their voices will break the silence. Stay tuned. Their stories will be heard.

There is no hope for a lot of Gen Z guys. If a girl rejecting you with something like “Aren’t you too old?” is now ‘shaming’, Gen Z is COOKED ♨️ Let me tell you something: women have been telling guys they are “too old”, “too short”, “too poor”, etc., since TIME IMMEMORIAL. The reason women give you for rejecting you has nothing to do with the actual reason they’re rejecting you. It is also not solely or principally due to “not finding you physically attractive”, like this guy seems to think. Here is a brief list of reasons women may give you for rejecting you: • You’re too young • You’re too old • You’re too short • You’re too tall • They don’t know you • They don’t date your race guys • They prefer to date guys from their country • They’re not looking to date right now • They don’t feel like you’re their type These reasons are completely irrelevant and women constantly violate their own rules. She rejects you for being too short, then you catch her hooking up with a guy shorter than you. She rejects you for being too young, then you see her playing cougar to a guy 3 years younger than you. She rejects you for being too old, then you find out she’s dating a dude 8 years older than you. You can either take this stuff to heart and let it BREAK you, and go cry on the Internet about “being shamed”, and get into a circle-jerk with a bunch of other dudes in the Internet safe space who jerk you off and talk about how “it’s so hard out here with these girls, all shaming you”, or you can suck it up, get a little testosterone flowing through your nads, and do better. Let me tell you something else: All those ‘rejection’ reasons are actually TESTS. If you handle them appropriately, you can still get the girl. When a girl says, “Aren’t you too old?” and you say, “No, I’m exactly the right age. How old are YOU?” you take control of the frame. If you CONTINUE to keep control of the frame, she becomes attracted. That’s how attraction works: It is not due to some facile calculation in her brain of “he is insufficiently looksmaxxed therefore RULED OUT!” Instead, the calculation in her brain is saying, “Hmm, he doesn’t look like the kinds of guys I’m accustomed to. Let’s see what he’s got!” So, she tests you. You either own the test and get the girl, or you fold up, talk about being “shamed”, and go cry on the Internet. So here is some advice: 1️⃣ Stop being a pussy who talks about ‘being shamed’ (i.e., estrogenmaxxing) 2️⃣ Learn a little FRAME CONTROL and learn how to LEAD (i.e., testosteronemaxxing) 3️⃣ Start getting those girls who push back on you rather than slinking off in utter defeat The first time you take some girl trying to test you and turn her into date or lay, you will have unlocked a whole new world for yourself… one in which, rather than crumple anytime anyone gives you any resistance, you learn how to take what you want from life. Godspeed!

I'm pleased to hear that worship at IHOPKC will continue. Here are a few PERSONAL reflections on why: My relationship with Lord was forever changed by the devotion and maturity of the worship in the GPR. The road that led me to IHOPKC about 8 years ago was sovereign, so I have always cherished it. The Lord brought me there to drink, to heal, to learn as he has done with thousands of others. Every time I visited something new was awoken (or maybe unlocked) deep inside me. It was sacred. Physically being in the GPR washed me with the word in a way that wasn't happening back at my home church. I had the luxury of coming and going, but I eventually saw behind the curtain. I saw how hard the day to day was for those who lived and served there. I learned of dreams that people put on hold to "keep the fire burning". I remember even feeling slightly guilty when I encouraged people to care for themselves and take a season off from the GPR to pursue passions. I learned of the financial pressures and didn't always agree with what felt like a "God's got it" approach to oversight. But I also wasn't surprised by those costs. They weren't unique based on what I have seen in the Church. Following Jesus is hard. We are broken. And demons are assigned to sabotage the prayer movement and prophetic voices. As time went on, I found myself desiring for others outside the IHOPKC bubble to experience how the worship in the GPR was different. That manifested in a few ways... One of them was a short film I directed and produced a few years ago when I was part of Arrowhead Music. (see below) The night we shot this film, the GPR had been temporarily moved to another sanctuary on the missions base, which gave an opportunity for Laura to worship alone. It felt providential and holy to me. When the film was later released, we were told that playlist editors at YouTube had it on repeat in their corporate offices in New York City. Spotify selected the title track "Shalom" to be featured as the top song on their worship playlist. Most people at IHOP didn't even know and it wasn't celebrated amongst the community like I thought it should have been. BUT to me, it proved that the worship cultivated at IHOPKC (though no more or less important than anyone else's worship) was distinct and could serve as a model. I still believe that. The abuse allegations and crisis around broader issues at IHOPKC were heartbreaking, no matter how you look at it. This is not a commentary on those issues. I understand why many decided to leave in the past 8 months, but no one will ever be able to convince me that what you will see in this film is in some way wrong. For those that are in disagreement that the House of Prayer still stands, I encourage you to trust the Lord to flush out any remaining impurities. Raise your concerns if you must, but do it biblically. I’m sharing this film, "THE SECRET PLACE", in hopes that it will serve as a reminder of the goodness and beauty that comes out of the prayer room. Join me in praying for our brothers and sisters who have decided to stay and continue to serve. Pray for the ministry to be fully funded, healthy, vibrant, and more fruitful then ever before! #ihopkc 🙏

This is a real US Army Air Corps recruiting film, the kind shown in movie theaters during World War II. Young men watched it between features, and on the way out, they were told to stop at the box office and sign up. And thousands of them did, knowing exactly how dangerous it was. This is the story of the generation that answered.. A Night at the Movies Picture the moment. A young man sits in a darkened theater in 1943, somewhere in small-town America. Between the newsreel and the feature, this film flickers onto the screen. Sleek fighters rolling through the clouds. Great bombers thundering into the sky. Men with silver wings on their chests. For a generation of boys who had grown up watching aircraft pass overhead and dreaming of flight, it was everything. The chance to fly, to serve, to be part of the greatest fight of their lives. At the end came the invitation. Stop by the box office on your way out for complete information. One famous recruiting film of the era led more than 150,000 young men to sign up to fly. All across the country, ordinary young men walked out of a movie theater and toward a recruiting desk. Farm boys, factory workers, students, clerks. Most had never flown in their lives. Many had never left their home state. They were about to enter the most dangerous skies on Earth. They Knew the Risks They did not go in blind. By 1943, the young men signing up had a fair idea of what they were choosing. They had read the casualty lists in their local papers. They knew boys from their own towns who had gone up and not come back. Word traveled. Everyone understood that flying in combat was among the most dangerous things a person could do in the entire war. The numbers behind that feeling were staggering. The Eighth Air Force, flying from England, would lose more than 26,000 men killed. That is more fatal casualties than the entire United States Marine Corps suffered in all of World War Two. For the men in the bombers, the air crews, the death rate climbed higher than in almost any other branch of the service. In the darkest stretch of 1943, only about one in four Eighth Air Force bomber crewmen completed a full tour of missions. They knew. And they signed up anyway. The Most Dangerous Skies on Earth What waited for them was a kind of combat no generation had ever faced before. The bomber crews flew in daylight, deep into enemy territory, often before long-range fighter escorts could protect the whole way. They climbed to 25,000 feet, where the air was so thin they needed oxygen to breathe and so cold, around forty below, that exposed skin could freeze in moments. And then the enemy came. German fighters slashing through their formations. Anti-aircraft shells, called flak, bursting all around them, filling the sky with jagged steel. One airman described it as being trapped in a game of Russian roulette. You were going to be hit, he said. It was only a question of where, and when. The fighter pilots faced their own trials, dueling enemy aces, nursing shot-up aircraft home over the sea, taking off again and again knowing the odds caught up with almost everyone eventually. These were boys, many of them still teenagers, doing all of this miles above the earth. They Kept Going Up And here is the thing that should stay with us. They kept going up. A bomber crew might watch the plane beside them explode, see friends fall from the sky, land with their aircraft torn to pieces, and then be told they were flying again the next morning. And they went. Not because they were fearless, but because they had a job to finish and men beside them who were counting on them. They wrote calm letters home so their mothers would not worry. They gave their aircraft cheerful names and painted them on the nose. They found ways to laugh between missions that might kill them. And when the call came, they climbed back into the cockpit. That quiet, stubborn courage, repeated by hundreds of thousands of young men, is what won the war in the air. The Generation That Answered When you watch that old recruiting film now, it is easy to see only the polished images and the confident narrator. But remember what it really was. An invitation, offered to a generation of ordinary young Americans, to step out of a movie theater and into history. And remember that they took it, freely, knowing the price might be everything. Many of them never came home. They are buried under white crosses in England, in France, in Italy, and beneath the seas they flew over. The boys who did come home rarely bragged about it. They went back to their farms and factories and families and quietly built the country we live in now. They were not born heroes. They were just young men in a movie theater, who stood up when their country asked, and answered. This was the story of the generation that answered. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

Driving home from Thanksgiving, I was listening to this with my son & had to pull the car over. It hit that hard. Jocko Willink said that being prior enlisted meant he learned to “speak E-5.” Then he became an officer and had to learn to “speak officer.” Later, as an admiral’s aide, he learned to “speak GOFO.” He became trilingual. That’s his unfair advantage. It hit me: that’s the single greatest factor behind every success I’ve had in my life. Early in my career I learned this the hard way. The hardest way possible. My father was dying. My grades at USNA weren’t great but above the line. My roommate, a young Black mid with a 0.8 GPA, got summoned to the Admiral. His congressman had prepped him taught him exactly what to say, how to frame his struggle, how to speak “FOGO” He walked out with an emergency summer tutoring plan. A week later it was my turn. The Chaplain told the Superintendent about my dad & he wanted a meeting. “Family is most important,” he said. “Go home and be with him.” I got angry. I told him the best thing for my dad’s health was me graduating. He didn’t budge. I thought he didn’t care. I didn’t understand the language he was speaking. Years later I learned Adm Larson was quietly pushing certain groups out & keeping others in. But I’ve never blamed him or DEI or anything but my inability to speak flag officer. I took ownership. The truth was simple: coming from an enlisted family, I could barely speak ‘officer,’ never mind ‘admiral.’ I got a Presidential nomination & didn’t have a congressman to teach me the FO dialect. Bill Clinton sure as hell wasn’t calling to coach me. So I left for Maritime College, with a much lower reputation but a higher attrition rate & more difficult course load. In the Merchant Marine my career exploded. Captain. Youngest Distinguished Alumnus. Guinness World Records. Bestselling book. Built the most visited maritime website in the world. Now I’m worth millions and have a life I couldn’t have imagined, a beautiful family, my work makes an impact on the maritime world. I’m blessed but I still think about that horrible day in the Admirals office every day (which is why my haters always bring it up). I motivates me. My secret? I became a student of languages. All of them Most captains avoid the engine room I practically lived in it. Learned how engineers think & talk. Earned favors. I sat in union halls just to absorb how unions talk. Spent nights in drilling shacks offshore listening to that culture. Took ships with international crews Moved to Silicon Valley to embed myself with early Facebook employees. Embedded with NYT and NPR reporters—NOT enjoyable— because I wanted to learn the language of the people who shape narratives. More recently, I’ve been in DC learning how the top civilian leaders talk. And now my son is studying aeronautics and space. My advice to him is simple: Join the rocket club. Join the startup club. Sit in on nuclear engineering classes. Hang out at the ATC simulator. You don’t have to be the top 1% in any of these fields. You need to speak just enough of their language to call one of the top 1% and make them want to help you. That’s the real secret Communication is a perishable skill. I write long posts and editorials every day because I never want to stand in front of a GOFO again and lose an opportunity to simply be understood. So here’s the lesson: Be at least trilingual. Learn the enlisted language. Learn the officer language. Learn the executive language. Don’t get trapped inside your comfort zone. People say, “I’ll never be CEO. I’m not ruthless or connected enough.” Fine. You don’t need the job. You just need to be able to stop the CEO as the elevator doors close & explain, clearly in HIS language, why your idea matters. You do that by volunteering to serve coffee in the board room. That’s it. That’s all you need. And Jocko’s right the SECNAV does notice. His office called me Tuesday to “discuss” my frigate post 😜

The corporate ladder doesn't exist anymore. It's structurally GONE. The bottom rungs have been removed. And the data proves it beyond any debate: Employment for software developers aged 22 to 25 has fallen nearly 20% since late 2022. The exact moment generative AI went mainstream. Developers aged 30 and older at the SAME companies? Employment grew 6 to 12%. Same companies. Same industry. Same economy. Young workers got cut. Senior workers got raises. This is literally a restructuring of who gets to have a career. Entry-level jobs across AI-exposed fields collapsed: - Software postings dropped from 43% entry-level to 28% - Data roles dropped from 35% to 22% - Consulting dropped from 41% to 26% Total entry-level postings in the US down 35% since January 2023. Bloomberg reported this week that 43% of US graduates aged 22 to 27 are now underemployed. Working jobs that don't require the degree they just spent four years and six figures earning. Meanwhile 60% of entry-level jobs now require 3+ years of experience. Entry-level. Three years experience required. You need the job to get the experience. You need the experience to get the job. The loop is closed. So here's what you need to understand: Every generation before this one had a deal. An unspoken contract between companies and young workers. You start at the bottom. You answer phones. You build spreadsheets. You write the first draft that a senior person edits. You sit in meetings you don't understand yet. You learn by doing the work nobody else wants to do. That was the training ground. The apprenticeship that turned a 22yo with a degree into a 28yo who could actually run something. But AI automated that entire layer: First drafts? ChatGPT. Data entry? Automated. Basic code? Copilot. Customer support tier 1? Agents. Report generation? Gone. Research summaries? Gone. Junior analyst work? Gone. The tasks that used to TEACH young people how to become senior people no longer exist as jobs. Companies aren't replacing those roles with training programs. They're just not hiring juniors at all. SignalFire found a 50% decline in new hires with less than one year of post-graduate experience at major tech companies between 2019 and 2024. The Dallas Fed confirmed it: Young people aren't getting fired... They're never getting HIRED in the first place. The door closed before they could walk through it. Now you have an economy with two classes: Senior workers who learned their skills BEFORE AI. They carry institutional knowledge, judgment, and context no model can replicate. Wages rising. Jobs secure. AI makes them MORE valuable. Young workers who graduated INTO the AI era. Their textbook knowledge is exactly what AI replicates best. Wages stagnant. Jobs disappearing. Redundant before they've had a chance to become anything. Walmart's CEO started by unloading trucks. HP's CEO started in a call center. GM's CEO started on the assembly line at 18. Those paths are gone. Not because companies are evil - but because the WORK those paths were built on no longer requires a human. And here's the scary part to me: If nobody trains the next generation, there IS no next generation. The 28yo manager you want to hire in 2030 is the 22yo who can't get an entry-level job today. The senior talent you're hoarding will retire. Nobody will be behind them. Because nobody invested in building them. So every company celebrating "doing more with less" is quietly destroying the pipeline of people who would have become their future leaders. The ladder isn't broken. It's been REMOVED. And nobody's building a new one.

Zionists Are Freaking Out About Losing Control Of The Narrative Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made some very revealing remarks during an appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Sunday, expressing frustration with the way younger Jews are dismissing pro-Israel arguments because of the carnage they’ve seen in Gaza. “We are now wrestling with a new I think generational divide here, and I think that’s particularly true in that social media is now our source of media,” Hurwitz said. “It used to be that the news you got in America was American media, and it was pretty mainstream; you know it generally didn’t express extreme anti-Israel views. You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don’t really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn’t going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them; they find them on their phones.” “It’s also this increasingly post-literate media; less and less text, more and more videos,” Hurwitz continued. “So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds: carnage. And I sound obscene.” Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring, because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad. “And you know I think unfortunately, the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism,” Hurwitz said. “Because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism, right? Powerful white people against powerless black people. So, when on TikTok all day long, they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.” Hoo boy. Lots to unpack here. It’s just so fascinating to see a former White House speechwriter making so many of the points that anti-Zionists have been making for years, but taking the exact opposite meaning from them: - The mainstream legacy media has always hidden anti-Israel views from the public — and that was a good thing. - Social media has now given Palestinians the ability to expose the truth about Israel’s abuses — and that’s a bad thing. - People aren’t falling for the Zionist spin and narrative-diddling anymore because they’ve seen the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes — and that’s a problem. - People who learned from Holocaust education that genocide is wrong have been applying those same lessons to the genocide in Gaza — and this means they’re “confused”. Hurwitz isn’t denying Israel’s abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem, she’s just coming right out and saying that people obtaining information and moral clarity about those abuses is the problem. The atrocities aren’t wrong, what’s wrong is people seeing those atrocities and calling them what they are. I love the way she complains that she looks “obscene” for trying to lay out arguments and narratives justifying the Gaza holocaust for people who’ve seen the “wall of carnage” from the genocide. I mean, yes. Yes obviously you’re going to look obscene if you try to tell someone why raw video footage of massacres, mutilated children and emaciated bodies is actually showing something that is justifiable and acceptable. You can’t stand in front of a pile of child corpses justifying their murder and then whine when people ignore your spinmeistering and keep staring at the tiny bodies. That’s like murdering an entire family and then telling the cops, “But you’re not listening to my reasons for killing them!” They’re doing the normal thing while you are being obscene. There’s a viral clip of this tirade going around Twitter and I was curious if Hurwitz had said anything after the video segment ended which might have made what she said sound less horrible, so I went to check out the original video on the Jewish Federations of North America’s Youtube channel, and nope. It didn’t get any better. Hurwitz went on to say that people are wrong to carry the lessons of Holocaust education into opposition to Israel’s genocidal atrocities because the Holocaust was Nazi Germany blaming Jews for all their problems in the same way people think Israel is the source of all the world’s problems today. She then mourned the way western Jews “re-imagined Judaism as a Protestant-style religion” in order to integrate into western society rather than retaining a strong identity that is loyal to the state of Israel. “The problem is, we’re not just a religion,” Hurwitz said. “We’re a nation. Civilization. Tribe. Peoplehood. But most of all we’re a family. And so if you are a young person raised in America who thinks Judaism is a Protestant-style religion, then the seven million Jews in Israel are merely your co-religionists. So my co-religionists, if I look at them and they’re not practicing my religion of social justice and certain prophetic values then what do I have to do with them?” “But that’s a category error,” says Hurwitz. “The seven million people in Israel, they are not my co-religionists, they are my siblings. But I think if you think of them as merely your co-religionists, it’s easy to slide into anti-Zionism. You don’t necessarily have that connection to them.” Hurwitz is saying here that Jews around the world should be loyal to Israel no matter what Israel does, not because that’s the moral or truthful position but because Israel is where their loyalties belong. I don’t know about you, but if my siblings were murdering civilians I would immediately become their enemy. I wouldn’t defend my brother if he was going around shooting children in the head like IDF snipers have been doing in Gaza, in fact I would feel a special responsibility to stop him exactly because he is my brother. Genocide doesn’t magically become acceptable if the perpetrators are your “siblings”, unless you are a sociopath. It’s just incredible how hard Zionists have been freaking out about the way Israel has lost control of the narrative these last two years. More and more often we’re seeing them say the quiet parts out loud as they frantically scramble to manage perceptions and manipulate minds around the world. Many things which used to be hidden are finding their way into the light. Reading by Tim Foley:

I will always remember my encounter with Ojukwu in 1988. He stood not more than 6 feet away from me when he delivered his extempore speech before us young students at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University. Ojukwu was everything that can be described as Arrogance. He was ARROGANCE personified. He was 55 at that time and talking any how so you can imagine the shortage of wisdom in his head in 1967 when he was just 34. Do you know that just as Murtala Mohammed and Sanni Abacha were the moving shadows behind and nemesis of Yakubu Gowon and Ibrahim Babangida respectively, Ojukwu was to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Ojukwu was the FACE of the ANAMBRA ZIONISTS just as Peter Obi is today. He was only waiting for Aguiyi-Ironsi to stabilise the Government and he would have taken him out. He was the Defacto Head of State. Ojukwu was not the kind of person who would have subordinated to anybody. Just listen to him here. At the time he was boasting and bragging here talking about "Freedom" for his Ibo people he didn't factor the multitude of other ethnicities trapped in his Biafra dream. He didn't bother to consult them to know if they wanted anything to do with his Biafra. They didn't deserve the respect of consultation. It was all about Ibos. He didn't factor the Ijaws, Ibibios, Efik etc. He didn't think about the problem of his landlocked people in Ibo land because he was confident that the Oceans surrounding the Ijaws, Efik and Ibibios must submit to him. He didn't think of monetary policies. He didn't think of International Diplomacy. He was bragging. And when the war started he didn't have the sense of Miliary strategy to defend his home front but the IBO GREED took the better of him, he crossed over to Delta and Edo and heading to Yoruba land to overrun those places. When reality dawned on him he ran away after sacrificing the lives of his kinsmen. And yes, he DUPED his people of their money too just as Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa did recently. Funnily, he returned to Nigeria from exile only to take sides with the same Fulani people he originally accused of committing genocide against his Ibo people. And his "children", the Ibo youths of today will never learn. #Igbimoomoyoruba #ThinkYorubaFirst © Adedamola Adetayo 19 January 2025

A Young Teen Girl Collapses Inside Easons, Blanchardstown Centre - One of Ireland’s Largest Shopping Centres - Convulsing and Foaming at the Mouth. Connolly Hospital, with One of Dublin’s Major Emergency Departments and Ambulance Fleets, Is Minutes Away. 999 Was Called Immediately. No Emergency Response Yet. No Visible First Aid Administered. Now 105 Minutes and Counting. This evening, at approximately 6.10pm, a young Irish girl collapsed in what staff described to me as a serious medical emergency on the upper floor of Eason’s two-level unit in Blanchardstown Centre. A 999 call was made. 98 minutes later, there was still no visible emergency medical response at the scene. Let that sink in. A child collapsed on the floor of a major shopping centre in Dublin 15. She was unconscious. Her parents were sitting beside her on the floor. Staff had closed the upper level of the store where the incident occurred. And people still tried to get in. Not to buy medicine. Not to get food. Not to deal with an emergency of their own. The upper level of this store sells stationery, envelopes, picture frames and similar retail items. The ground-floor bookshop remained open. This was not a question of essentials. This was not necessity. This was consumer selfishness stripped naked. The girl was only feet from the entrance. She was plainly visible. Yet people argued with staff that they should still be allowed in, as though a collapsed child on the floor was merely an obstruction between them and stationery. According to the manager, people did not ask how the girl was. They did not ask whether she was alive, conscious, breathing, safe, or being helped. They wanted what they had come to buy. That is not merely disappointing. It is obscene. I am deliberately not showing the girl, her face, her parents, or any identifying image of her in the attached video. This post is not about exploiting a child’s distress. It is about recording the disgrace of what happened around her. Connolly Hospital is only minutes away from this location. It is a large hospital with a major Emergency Department. In a normal vehicle, it is close. With blue lights, in an emergency, it should feel almost next door. And yet, 98 minutes after the emergency call, no visible emergency medical response had arrived. I do not know where exactly the failure occurred. I do not know whether the issue lies with dispatch, capacity, triage, staffing, ambulance availability, or some other breakdown in the system. But I know what I saw. A 13-year-old girl collapsed on a shop floor. Her parents sat beside her. Staff tried to protect the scene. Members of the public argued to get past her. And nearly an hour and forty minutes after a 999 call, the emergency response still had not visibly arrived. This is Ireland in 2026. A child can collapse in one of Dublin’s largest shopping centres, minutes from a major hospital, and the system can leave her on the floor long enough for strangers to become irritated that they cannot buy envelopes. It is now approaching two hours and still no emergency medical response. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. And someone needs to answer for it.

I just got the sad news that my Grandma Roz passed away at the age of 94. A Brownsville native, my grandmother was one of the first women to graduate from Brooklyn College with a degree in Chemistry. She was born to two very sick parents who both died while she was very young. My grandmother was a picky eater growing up and she never let me forget it. She introduced new food to me and when I fussed, she said “don’t say you don’t like something until you try it.” In fact, my first memory was her feeding me slices of cheese. I’m sure she just wanted me to be healthy, but it taught me a deeper lesson. That small value, helped me develop an open mind, not just for food, but everything in life. She taught me how to cross the streets in New York. One time, I got so frustrated that my grandma made me hold her hand, I ran off into the middle of the street with cars passing. When she rescued me 😂 she yelled at me and my credit score was dead on arrival ever since. My grandma spoke as a matter of fact. Confidently. She challenged me every step of my maturity. That helped me not only believe in myself but understand that along the way, I would have to put up as well. Even when you achieve something? It’s not enough. There’s still work to put in and a level to reach. With all her grandchildren, Grandma Roz would mark their height. Every visit, I’d see my growth. Through my younger cousins, I saw the evolution of her commitment to raising our family. I always respected that. My grandma once went to the Queens public library at flushing and picked me up a VHS of He Got Game. She tossed the case on the tv stand in my room and said “watch it, there’s nudity in it” 😂 When I was a teen, She would often have a secret non alcoholic beer with me… it was her way of being dangerous and I always got a kick out of it. As I got older, my car rides to NY always stopped at my grandma’s house in flushing. She would treat me the same way from when I was a kid. Treating an hour ride from Jersey as a “long ride you must be starving” taking out a piece of toast and offering a “little margarine” in her Brooklyn accent. At night, coming to my room with extra pillows, which she never called pillows, but “cushions” As a kid, my grandma would wake me up every morning singing Irving Berlin’s “Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning” I learned to enjoy the song because splashing water would come after. Something about that song. It’s so perfect. It’s so spiritual. I always imagined myself signing it at her funeral. I don’t know if I will, but now she won’t have to wake up every morning. She will get to sleep. With the eternal. Im forever grateful for such an amazing matriarch that I would have NOTHING without. I’m sad, broken, but she lived a long life and I know how blessed she was to make it a full century’s worth on this earth. My last experience with her was last week, she wouldn’t take her medicine. I just came up to her, put the pills in my hand and gave it to her. She took it. She grabbed my hand and kissed it. I’m so thankful to my mom, the healthcare workers, for allowing me to have a moment like that. Rest in Peace, Roslind Dorwitt aka Grandma Roz, or as our family called her… The Wizard of ROZ. ❤️

🛑🇫🇷- When France wanted to attack Niger 🇳🇪, they had already deployed 2000 soldiers ready for action. I wanted to come back to this although, I reposted it. You know, at the end of the day, the truth will always come out, and truth always wins. Here are the French themselves saying that when the coup d’état happened in Niger 🇳🇪, that they were able to mobilize 2000 soldiers (I call them mercenaries) in Abidjan in a matter of a few hours, ready to deploy in the operation to reinstall their puppet Mohamed Bazoum. Where are the idiots who were criticizing me when I said that it’s France 🇫🇷 that wanted to attack Niger ? I was criticized for saying that it’s France 🇫🇷 that is behind all this. The French were just using and waiting for ECOWAS to start the intervention, so that they could take over. That’s why they brought warships in Benin 🇧🇯 and Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮. Anyone who didn’t or couldn’t understand this is just an idiot. So, France 🇫🇷 mobilized 2000 mercenaries who wanted to attack the presidential palace to reinstall a puppet, just like what they did in Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 in 2011, when they bombed the hell out of President Laurent Gbagbo to remove him from the bunker like a rat, and installed their puppet Alassane Ouattara. 13 years later, the same hypocrite French came out to say that they knew Gbagbo had won the election, it’s just that they didn’t want him in power. Well, the same arrogant French thought they were going to replicate what happened in Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 in Niger 🇳🇪. However, they miscalculated. They miscalculated because, they didn’t see Captain and Goïta coming. I say they weren’t expecting that two young men Général d'Armée Assimi GOITA and Capitaine Ibrahim TRAORÉ were going to stand in their way and give them a stern warning that if they ever intervene in Niger 🇳🇪, that it would amount to a declaration of war to all three of them. The Malian PM Choguel Kokalla Maiga even put it better when he said that, we told them that, if you touch one hair of Niger 🇳🇪, we will shave your head. Today, we are now a confederation. That’s the beauty and strength of unity! Folks, the French are relentless and very revengeful. That’s why they keep doubling down and arming terrorists to destabilize us. I showed you how Niger 🇳🇪 just captured French secret service agents of DGSE among the terrorists. Captain also captured 5 spies so far. We’re dealing with beasts, but this time, they will learn that we are no more in the 60’s or 80’s. So, hanks to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 and Niger 🇳🇪, ECOWAS developed cold feet because, they realized that war is not just a simple and little walk on the beach. Bola Ahmed Tinubu Nana Akufo-Addo and Co, shame on you all for selling your brothers to the colonizers. History shall remember that you were willing to deliver Niger 🇳🇪 into the hands of the hyenas. Down with sellouts and traitors! Pfff

HYBE and Min Hee-jin NewJeans Controversy from the Perspective of a 20-Year Entertainment Industry Expert | Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Overseas Economic Research Institute of the Export-Import Bank of Korea #1 [Investment Insight] 증시각도기TV HYBE has shown a somewhat immature side throughout this process. The essence of the issue has become less important. Hello, viewers and investors of Stock TV. Recently, there has been a lot of societal concern about the entertainment industry. Last year, it did well, but the question remains about how it will fare this year. We’re joined by Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Korea Eximbank Overseas Economic Research Institute, to discuss this. Welcome. Today, I brought a drink because this topic is not easy to discuss soberly. The situation between HYBE, Min Hee-jin, and NewJeans has escalated, and unfortunately, it’s no longer just management fighting but the artists have joined the fray. I’ve heard from someone in the industry that the close relationship between a producer and an artist is inevitable. In the past, there have been similar cases where producers and artists were tightly knit. Now, something similar has happened with Min Hee-jin and HYBE. Most people outside the industry don’t know the exact terms of the contract between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. As my own son works in the entertainment field, I’m well aware of how important it is to work with a good producer. For a company like HYBE, which has invested tens or even hundreds of billions of won, it’s unthinkable that they would allow NewJeans to separate and go independent after establishing their position. Many in the industry agree that this doesn’t make sense. To the general public, NewJeans might seem like the underdogs, and people might feel they should be allowed to leave. But from the perspective of the entertainment industry, which requires substantial capital to grow, the relationship between investors and artists is key. You can’t discuss this industry without acknowledging the role of investors. This case is different from situations where individual members leave, as seen in the past with groups that had Chinese members. This isn’t about a single member leaving; it’s more about the fact that, in this industry, the producers are as important as the artists themselves. From the beginning, NewJeans has been marketed as Min Hee-jin’s girl group, so the idea of them continuing without her feels different. We need to approach this from a different angle. That said, it doesn’t mean HYBE should completely cut ties. Many people have different initial thoughts about the situation, but the core issue here is the importance of the relationship between producers and the company, especially when substantial investment is involved. From my perspective, the fundamental question is: what exactly was attempted? I still find this unclear. In any company, it's common to hear people say, "I want to quit, I can't work with this boss, I'm leaving tomorrow." We all talk about this with friends or colleagues. Sometimes, we even ask others to let us know if there’s a good opportunity elsewhere. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue. But in the new premise, I still wonder what exactly they were trying to do. What exactly was attempted? We always talk about it at work, right? "I'm going to quit. I can't work with that boss anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow." We always have those conversations. We talk about it with our friends, with team members, and even ask friends outside of work to let us know if they hear of any good positions. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue, isn't it? Looking at how the situation first unfolded, it seems like HYBE was the one to bring things to light. They shared a lot with the press, and Min Hee-jin, the CEO, responded with a strong counterstatement. HYBE was saying, "Min Hee-jin is trying to do this and that," but CEO Min was like, "What else have I done apart from that message on KakaoTalk?" The court also judged that they weren't sure what actions had actually been attempted. To me, this seems like the fact of the matter. Clearly, HYBE's relationship with CEO Min Hee-jin might not be good. There could have been friction about how a subsidiary operates so independently from the parent company. There were likely various issues internally, but they should have been resolved within the company without making the problems visible externally. The fact that they let it spill outside before resolving it was a huge mistake on HYBE's part, revealing weaknesses in their management abilities. In my view, this has greatly devalued HYBE, becoming a powerful force that has dragged down their valuation. Throughout this process, HYBE displayed a level of immaturity, and the core of the issue became less important. The real concern for investors now is whether the company can effectively handle issues like these. Once this problem is resolved, can the remaining HYBE groups continue to grow securely? This business is all about reputation. HYBE is now seen as a company that ousts female CEOs simply because she didn't follow their orders. That perception leaves a lasting impression on people's minds, damaging the company's future operations. From an investor's perspective, two major incidents have happened in quick succession. The first was the boost in value during 2020 when HYBE sold a huge number of albums during COVID-19, creating the sense that the entertainment industry was Korea's next big sector. But then, this recent issue with Min Hee-jin, alongside BLACKPINK's contract situation, has put a serious damper on things. BLACKPINK didn't renew their contract as a group, and though they claim to continue working together in some capacity, it's not the same as before. YG Entertainment's profitability has plummeted, revealing how dependent they were on BLACKPINK. This has left investors wondering whether the entertainment business is just a limited-time, seven-year affair. If BLACKPINK had carried on smoothly into the next generation, it would have seemed like a sustainable business, and investors would have continued to trust in the long-term future of Korean entertainment. But now, we're seeing the cracks in that perception. It’s become a question of how to invest in a business with a lifespan of only seven years, when even the manufacturing industry lasts longer than that. The BLACKPINK incident and the NewJeans situation have both severely harmed investor confidence. HYBE's struggles with its artists are analogous to a manufacturing company facing a revolt from its workers. When investors look at this instability, they start questioning whether the business is even viable. The concept of sustainability has been seriously undermined, and the fact that the seven-year contract issue has been a long-standing concern doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. What used to reassure investors was the belief that when a seven-year contract ended, the company would already have the next seven years planned out, ready to sustain their business. That faith in the big entertainment companies has been shaken. Achieving the kind of success that BTS or BLACKPINK did is incredibly difficult, and passing the baton to the next generation is no simple task. Even though investors had faith that YG would produce another BLACKPINK-level group, now that trust is faltering. However, I do think people are now looking at contracts a bit differently. In the past, when a group disbanded, the members would scatter. But now, groups like BLACKPINK continue to work together even while pursuing solo projects. This shows that they understand the importance of sticking together, and I thought that this might help extend the longevity of these groups. But in reality, very few cases of disbanded groups have seen much success with individual members pursuing separate careers. There aren’t many examples where groups have stayed active for long, especially when individual members run into personal issues. Take Big Bang, for instance—they’ve been around for a while, but their personal scandals have made it hard for the group to recover fully. In the entertainment business, it’s rare for groups to last more than seven years, and age is also a factor. Once a group surpasses the seven-year mark, the members tend to be quite a bit older. With BTS, they need to show a fresh side if they’re to keep running strong. One of the most disheartening things mentioned by the members was that they didn’t feel respected. This ties into a larger issue in our society, as we're seeing with the national discussion around workplace bullying. If we think about how BTS achieved success, it's clear why this is such a serious issue. Back when BTS rose to fame, they shared how they weren’t from one of the top three agencies and positioned themselves as underdogs who worked hard to gain recognition. This resonated with many young people who felt that if you work hard enough, you can succeed, even without the backing of a major company. This message gave hope to many, not only in Korea but also globally. BTS’s fan base, especially in the U.S., includes many people who identify as outsiders, those who don’t feel they belong to the mainstream—whether in terms of race, culture, or social standing. For them, BTS was a source of inspiration, showing that you can still succeed even if you start from the margins. With NewJeans, though there’s talk about Min Hee-jin, the allegations of bullying within the company are hitting a sensitive nerve for fans. It’s unfortunate that the company allowed things to reach a point where such accusations were made. Even if the situation was mostly an internal conflict among the adults in charge, they should have handled it better to avoid involving the artists. In the past, we've seen similar issues, like with Big Bang’s various scandals, which were almost at the level of criminal activity. The current situation with NewJeans might not be as severe, but bullying and exclusion are still serious concerns. Ultimately, experiences like these can serve as valuable lessons for the entertainment industry. This situation has highlighted that the entertainment business is fundamentally about human relationships. From the artists to the products they create, everything revolves around people. The moment someone’s feelings are hurt or relationships are damaged, the entire business can collapse. The entertainment business is all about personal connections, something I've always believed. Recently, I heard about Naver Webtoon’s global success, and it's fascinating to think about how it has outgrown Kakao Webtoon, despite being a later player. Many factors contributed to this success, but someone mentioned that webtoons are also a "personal connection" business. Webtoon creators are tough to manage—they're artists, after all, and keeping them on schedule, especially with weekly deadlines, is a challenging task. CEO Kim Joong has managed to nurture relationships with these creators, making personal connections the backbone of the business. In the entertainment industry, particularly with idols, you can't overlook the importance of personal relationships. The key skill for managing this industry is the ability to connect deeply with both the creators and the artists. HYBE, for instance, doesn’t just need skilled managers who are good with finance or operations. What they truly need are people who can foster those personal relationships, especially when they’re dealing with artists as young as 13 or 15. It’s about ensuring that these young talents feel understood and cared for, so they can be inspired to do their best work. Managing young artists is tricky because their idea of success might be completely different from what adults think. A 13-year-old might not care about owning multiple houses—they might just want to spend time with their family or have the freedom to eat out whenever they want. The manager’s job is to tap into what motivates them and help them thrive in a way that’s meaningful to them. This kind of nurturing is not easy to scale. When a company grows too big, it’s challenging to maintain those close relationships. That's why multi-label approaches, like those seen in large entertainment agencies, are supposed to help. But if personal connections within those labels break down, the whole system can fall apart. This business model seems uniquely suited to Korea. It’s hard to imagine it working the same way in Japan, where there's a more hierarchical, command-driven structure. Japan's entertainment industry often depends on strong, central producers who direct everything. In contrast, Korean idols often rise through collective effort and personal connection, like BTS did. Despite the challenges, I believe Korea’s entertainment sector has room for long-term growth. Many of today’s youth are drawn to this field because it allows them to express their talents and passions. If scandals like the one with NewJeans continue to arise, however, it might dissuade some young people from pursuing these dreams. When you look at what NewJeans members have said, there’s not much to disagree with. They simply want to keep doing what they’ve always done and follow their own creative paths. Ensuring they have the freedom to do so can lead to even greater success. These days, if you ask middle or elementary school students what they want to be when they grow up, many of them will say they want to become idols or YouTubers. They believe that with enough effort, they can make it. The entertainment industry needs to be able to channel that passion and potential into something positive. If Min Hee-jin were to leave HYBE, it’s clear that many companies would be eager to work with her. She mentioned once that “everyone is crazy about money,” and I think that’s why there would be a long line of people wanting to meet with her if she decided to move on. Right now, for example, there are people in the entertainment industry, like CJ, who may not have fully established themselves, or even private investors, just waiting for an opportunity. Many of them are keeping an eye on Min Hee-jin leaving HYBE. This was evident during the recent Tokyo performance, where her creativity was on full display. It was incomparable. That’s why this situation is even more unfortunate. Some people say, "If it wasn’t for the money, how could that group have been created?" But I believe there are people who could have made it happen with or without money. That’s the crucial difference in this case. While I'm not an expert, I was touched by the process of recreating a hit song from a legendary Japanese female singer from the '80s. It felt like a major event. It was amazing because I had never seen anything like it before. Even though I wasn’t familiar with the original song, just seeing it was enough to draw in so much attention and make it feel like a historic moment. That’s what talent is—turning something simple, like a cover song, into a major event. I remember thinking, "How do the Japanese people feel about this?" because the crowd's reaction was incredible. The enthusiasm was surprising, and I wondered what they were thinking while watching it. This is the true power of Korean culture—it’s not just about promoting our own culture but also deeply resonating with others. The entertainment industry’s core business is making audiences happy and even obsessed. Min Hee-jin is undeniably a top-tier artist in this field. If she were to leave HYBE, there would be countless opportunities for her. But if HYBE mishandles this situation, it won’t just be about losing one person—it could destabilize everything. They really need to handle this carefully. As for stocks and investments, that's up to everyone’s individual decisions. We're just having a casual chat here about the entertainment industry. As someone with a child in the business and another who's analyzed the industry, we’re just relaxing with a casual discussion. So, let’s pour a drink and enjoy this conversation.

On March 15th, 2021, an anonymous Twitter user asked Harvard Medical professor Martin Kulldorff a question. “Do you think younger age groups and or people who have already had the virus need to be vaccinated?” Who is Martin Kulldorff? He’s a Harvard Medical School professor for 21 years, a well-known Swedish biostatistician who developed widely used software for disease mapping, the co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration on how to deal with the COVID pandemic, and an advisor to the world’s leading health organizations. What he said was that “Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should get COVID. Vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their caretakers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it, nor do children.” Natural immunity. Is it a myth — a “conspiracy theory” — that once you have been sick from a virus, then you won’t get sick, or as sick, again? In fact, we’ve known for 2,500 years that natural immunity is real. “The same man was never attacked twice, never at least fatally,” wrote Thucydides, describing the plague of Athens. He observed that recovered individuals could safely nurse the sick without falling ill themselves. And yet Twitter censored Martin Kulldorff’s tweet. “Learn why health officials recommend a vaccine,” read a warning that Twitter employees put on it. For most people, the Tweet cannot be replied to, shared or liked. In other words, Twitter had decided that this professor at Harvard Medical School was wrong, and that natural immunity wasn’t really something that could protect you from COVID. Jay Bhattacharya, who’s currently our Director of the National Institutes of Health, and thus one of the highest-ranking public health officials in the world, was a Stanford epidemiologist before that. Twitter put him on a “Trends Blacklist.” Not long before we discovered this, we were told that shadow-banning was a conspiracy theory, because Twitter had said it didn’t shadow-ban. Now the European Commission is trying to censor the entire global internet. They want to put a 140 million Euro fine on X. They want to end anonymity, which was what allowed that question of Kulldorff to be asked. They want to use a “Democracy Shield” program to shield the Commission from democracy. And the Commission wants to impose “chat control” so they can read your private messages. It just gets worse and worse. Unsubstantiated and likely false claims of Russian government election interference through TikTok and social media were made in Romania and in the Czech Republic. Truth is not something that anybody holds as a possession and rather emerges through dialogue. We’ve known that since Plato and Socrates. We need free speech for science, public health, and national security. It’s essential to journalism, democracy, and human freedom. Free speech enabled civilization; censorship threatens it. This is the only political cause that I would die for. And yet there is currently an active coordination between Stanford, Brazil, Australia, and others to impose what I think we can call, without exaggeration, global totalitarianism. They’re pushing for digital identification that will end anonymity online. Why is that? Why are these guys behaving in this way? When Elon Musk took over Twitter on October 28th, 2022, unprecedented insight into multiple secret government mass censorship efforts emerged from this exploration. We had unlimited access to Twitter files. They revealed that the mainstream news reporters, who don’t deserve the name, were demanding censorship. No true journalist demands censorship of his fellow journalists. What emerged from this was an understanding of something we call the “Censorship Industrial Complex,” which directly grew out of the military industrial complex and was run by active or former intelligence community officials who often operate under that banner. It led to multiple congressional investigations and hearings, and it spread across every social media platform. So we now know the censorship that occurred, not just at Twitter, but at YouTube, at Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms. What is the Censorship Industrial Complex? The model isn’t that complicated to understand. The government chooses people whom they call “researchers” to serve as censors. These are government-funded individuals who often come from the intelligence community and foreign policy establishment. They work at non-governmental organizations funded by governments or at universities funded by governments. They conduct “fact checks” to serve as “trusted flaggers.” These “trusted flaggers” demand censorship by social media platforms. It’s all done in secret. They’re looking to censor narratives. This is essential because, as decades of good cognitive science have shown, people understand and retain information through storytelling. We think in terms of stories, not bullet points. And so they were out to censor whole narratives. From the Stanford censorship project on COVID, the “Virality Project,” they said they wanted to censor “true stories” of vaccine side effects. Why? Because it might “fuel hesitancy.” In other words, they want to control your behavior. They don’t want you to receive true information that might lead you to not get the vaccine. If that isn’t totalitarianism straight out of 1984, I don’t know what it. These people were on the verge of passing legislation in the United States that would’ve authorized the National Science Foundation to choose these “researcher” censors. I’m presenting slides to Europeans and the world for situational awareness into what totalitarian politicians and bureaucrats have planned because this is still going strong. Stanford helped the US government censor COVID dissidents, and then they lied about it. You might be detecting a pattern. They’re really not interested in censoring “misinformation.’ They’re very interested in censoring true information. The censors flagged an Israeli preprint which came out in December, 2020 and found, lo and behold, that natural immunity is a real thing. In fact, it’s more protective than the vaccine. But the censors flagged somebody’s Google Drive. “See the following Google Drive links being used to compile testimonies about vaccine shedding, Covid videos, showing side effects and whatnot.” Google then removed that content from that person’s Google Drive. You don’t control your Google Drive. Contrary to Stanford’s claim that the project did not ask social media platforms to remove any content, they privately said they did. And we know that many hundreds of thousands of tweets and Facebook posts were removed, even though they were a hundred percent accurate. In fact, in 2021, Stanford’s “Virality Project” flagged accurate claims that the World Health Organization did not recommend vaccinating children. The people who spread the misinformation are the people demanding the censorship. They claimed Covid couldn’t have come from a lab, that the Covid vaccine prevented infection, and that natural immunity didn’t exist. The only solution to hate speech and misinformation is free speech. If you censor false information, how would anybody get the true information? The whole point is the debate. They lied when they said false information travels faster than true information. It’s a completely bogus study and involved six seconds of content on Twitter. Who are these people? As of 2020, there were so many former FBI employees at Twitter that they called them “Bu alumni.” They created their own private Slack channel and a crib sheet to onboard new FBI arrivals. Intriguingly, we discovered that the general counsel of the FBI — arguably the second most powerful person of the FBI, or maybe the first, if you think, consider that what their actual job is to decide what the FBI can and can’t do — resigned from FBI in early 2020 and went to Twitter to take the deputy general counsel role. Isn’t that interesting? Somebody in one of the most powerful legal positions in the world would take a junior legal role at a social media company. Why would that be? This email popped up when we were going through Twitter files and it really jumped out at us. It’s from the director of policy at Twitter. “We have seen a sustained if uncoordinated” — supposedly — “effort by the intelligence community to push us to share more information and change our API policies. They’re probing and pushing everywhere they can.” The Hunter Biden laptop censorship occurred later that year. The FBI and the intelligence community discredited accurate, factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both before and after the New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14th, 2020. How could the FBI spread false information about something that nobody knew about? Because the FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop, which showed his family’s massive influence peddling scheme. It consisted of accepting tens of millions of dollars, including from the Chinese government. The FBI had been sitting on that laptop since December of 2019. They had been given it by the computer repair store owner, who had been given the laptop by Hunter Biden, likely because he dropped it in his bathtub or in the pool, when he was on one of his many crack and alcohol benders. The government strategy is always the same: spread disinformation first, then demand censorship of accurate information on the basis of it . “The FBI came to us in the summer of 2020,” Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan two years later, “and they were like, ‘Hey, you should be on the alert. We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in 2016. There’s about to be some kind of dump.’” In the summer of 2020, the New York Post had not published the story about the Hunter Biden laptop. It would only come out in October. We see something very interesting show up in the Twitter files: the Aspen Institute, an intermediary between the intelligence community and the public. It’s known as a Davos-style gab fest in the United States. It’s also the place where intelligence community operations are run. They hosted a workshop to train reporters and all of the social media’s top censorship officials, known as “trust and safety officials,” how to deal with a story they would hear in the future relating to Hunter Biden and Barisma. A few months earlier, the Stanford Cyber Policy Center had published a report attacking what we in the United States call the Pentagon Papers Principle. The Pentagon Papers Principle says that if a government official gives me, a journalist, a bunch of Pentagon documents showing that we’re losing the war in Vietnam, I, as a journalist, can publish them, and not risk prison. That was decided in a famous Supreme Court case in 1971. Stanford argued that, really, we should get rid of that principle, which may be the most important investigative journalism principle in the United States, and said, “You should cover the person who leaked the materials, not the leaked emails.” In other words, you should cover and expose the whistleblower. The person who exposed the Pentagon Papers is the real bad guy, not the DOD, CIA, and presidents who had lied to us for over a decade. Stanford was training the journalists and the social media trust and safety officers in how to cover a story that had not yet come out. This is known as “pre-bunking,” and it’s also part of the European Union strategy to shield themselves from democracy. When the Hunter Biden story appeared October 22nd, Twitter’s trust and safety censorship official said it didn’t violate its terms of service. There’s nothing illegal about any of this. The Supreme Court has made it very clear that you’re allowed to report on information that’s been leaked to you. At that moment, the former FBI general counsel, Jim Baker, argued vigorously that Twitter really needed to censor it. Baker won and they censored the story. It’s not that we didn’t hear about the Hunter Biden laptop story when it came out. I certainly did. But we had the impression that there was something wrong with it, that it was not really the whole story. And so many of us dismissed it. What they had done was a psyop on this major story. They had changed our perception of the story. And it worked. It worked on me, it worked on everybody I knew. What is the role of the intelligence community of social media companies? The former CIA people are the head of elections at Meta, and Google’s head of trust and safety. Former and current CIA officers have a history of spreading misinformation and promoting the Russiagate conspiracy theory. We now know that between 2018 and 2023, there were 36 people from the CIA 68 from the FBI 44, from the National Security Administration and 68 from the Department of Homeland Security who had moved to work at the social media platforms. This is not unique to the United States. My colleague Cecilia Jilková, the daughter of famous Czech dissidents, discovered that European Union officials claimed, days before the European elections in 2024, that a “pro-Kremlin website” was spreading propaganda and were paying off European politicians. That was the headline in Politico. We wrote to them and asked, “Where’s the evidence of this? Just go ahead and share the evidence to support your accusation days before the European parliamentary elections.” Nobody was arrested. They never produced the evidence. The former Czech president, Václav Klaus, who was accused of this, said, “We don’t even know what the ‘Voice of Europe’ is.” Another Czech politician said, “How could I have known it would be a security threat? At the time I gave the interview, they weren’t on any list.” Another said, “If they’re such a big threat, why did the European Parliament let the Voice of Europe’s journalists inside?” Nobody responded. Nobody talked to us. This was a disinformation campaign carried by Politico, which, in my view, is a suspect publication. In the spring of 2022, Barack Obama went to Stanford to give a speech at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center run by Michael McFaul, his former ambassador to Russia. Obama said misinformation harms democracy and urged support for legislation in Congress that would empower government-appointed researchers to serve as “trusted flaggers.” Six days later, the Department of Homeland Security rolled out their Disinformation Governance Board. What a coincidence that they got Obama to frame the issue for them. Facebook in 2021 censored accurate vaccine information so the White House would help it to get data from Europe. In addition to removing vaccine misinformation, wrote Facebook to the White House, we have been focused on reducing the virality of content discouraging vaccines that does not contain actionable misinformation. White House said jump, and Facebook said how high? Why did they do it? Why would they voluntarily censor? This also emerged from the Facebook files. Nick Clegg on the left wrote an email to his colleagues. He said, “My sense is that given we’ve got bigger fish, we have to fry with the administration, e.g., data flows, it doesn’t seem like a great place for us to be.” Data flows. What’s he talking about? He’s talking about billions of dollars worth of business that he has to, that they would have to pay the European Commission for if they didn’t have the support from the Biden administration to lean on the European Commission. In other words, this was a shakedown by the White House of Facebook and it worked in France, the country of Liberté. Turns out it has a special role....
