DNC chair Lindy Li triggers Destiny by laying out the facts about Hunter Biden's pardon being a 'black eye' on the Democrat party that 'proved Biden's haters right': Lindy Li: "This is 11 years. The pardon covered 11 years. It was sprawling. And I think, you know, the next one we should watch for is possibly him pardoning James Biden, because 11 years not only covered, you know, his presidency, but also his V.P. time and also Hunter's time during Burisma. It's just so incredibly ironic. I'm speaking as a Democrat that even Democrats and members of the intelligence community said the laptop was just a made up story. Now, with in one fell swoop, Biden basically proved his haters right, that there was something in that laptop and I hate to say it, but it's just true. This is just a black eye to us." Piers Morgan: "Let's not forget the New York Post had the laptop scoop and liberal controlled big tech at the time, including Twitter, Facebook and others." Lindy Li: "And I think this is not just an act of love. It wasn't just a father's compassion. It was almost perhaps even an act of self-preservation, because we don't know what happened in those 11 years is covered everything from 2014 to December 1st, 2024. I think in the next couple of weeks, we're going to see more pardons coming out. My guess would be that he might even pardon people who were involved in Hunter's business." Destiny: "8 years, where are the charges!?" Lindy Li: "The fact that Hunter Biden sat on a call and he said, I'm here with my father. You know, we expect you to follow through. He basically shook down a Chinese business person. CBS said that 10% to the big guy can't be anybody but Joe Biden. We lose all credibility if we do not acknowledge reality." 'We lose all credibility if we do not acknowledge reality' Lindy, appreciate your honesty and what you're doing, but your party can't even acknowledge men can't get pregnant. They abandoned 'acknowledging reality' a long time ago.

The Visionary Call: William Li’s Challenge to the Automotive World William Li, the charismatic founder of $NIO and a pioneer in the EV industry, stood at the center of a bustling conference hall. His vision for the future of electric vehicles wasn’t just about sleek designs or long-range batteries—it was about transforming how people powered their journeys. This time, his message wasn’t just for NIO enthusiasts; it was a rallying cry to the entire automotive industry. “Today, I call on all car manufacturers and competitors alike,” Li announced with his characteristic blend of passion and pragmatism. “To develop a battery-swap model, you only need to change the chassis design. The cost of innovation? It can be recovered by selling just 1,000 cars. This isn’t just about business; it’s about creating a win-win situation with no risks.” The crowd murmured, intrigued yet skeptical. Battery-swapping technology, while innovative, had faced resistance. Critics often questioned its feasibility, scalability, and whether it could compete with the ubiquitous charging infrastructure. But Li was undeterred. “We’ve proven this works. NIO’s battery-swap stations have completed millions of swaps, saving our users time and offering unparalleled flexibility. The infrastructure is here. The demand is real. And the benefits? They extend far beyond one company.” He paused, his eyes scanning the room. “Think about the possibilities—no more range anxiety, lower vehicle costs by separating the battery from ownership, and a future where every EV, regardless of brand, could use a universal battery-swap station. We can standardize this technology and create an ecosystem that benefits everyone.” Li’s call wasn’t just about collaboration; it was about responsibility. “As carmakers, we have a duty to lead this transition to a sustainable future. Battery swapping isn’t a gamble. It’s a calculated step forward, and the payoff isn’t just financial—it’s societal.” Outside the hall, competitors debated the feasibility of his claims. Would it truly be so simple to redesign a chassis? Could they afford the investment? But deep down, many knew Li was onto something. The math was compelling: selling 1,000 cars to recoup development costs was a low threshold for companies producing millions annually. Li ended his speech with a challenge. “The future of mobility isn’t about isolated efforts. It’s about unity. Let’s build a world where innovation knows no brand boundaries. Develop battery-swap models, and let’s change the industry together.” As he stepped down from the podium, the room erupted in applause. Some clapped out of admiration, others out of respect for his audacity. But one thing was certain—William Li’s message had sparked a fire, and the world of electric vehicles would never be the same again.

‼️‼️🙏THESE ARE THE CURRENT CHARACTERS WHO ARE MOST CONDEMNED BY THE COMMUNITY 🙇‍♀️Revelation from Yu Menglong's junior (shimei): "Capitalist widow Tian Hairong controls 13 billion yuan. Her ex-husband, Xu Ming of the Dalian Shide Group, died in prison. She bought media coverage, and a month ago already hinted that Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms) would explode with a huge scandal. Those present at the murder scene were: Tian Hairong, Cheng Qingsong, Li Ming, Song Yiren, Yu Menglong, and Yu Menglong's manager. Tian and director Cheng Qingsong, a homosexual, have been close friends for 20 years. Actress Song Yiren, at the age of 13, was sent into Cheng’s clutches. Later she entered the Film Academy through connections. Her homeroom teacher was Huang Lei, who also introduced her to a bisexual screenwriter boyfriend, Li Ming. (The deceased was found with two Rolex watches in his pocket, both belonging to Li Ming, left behind as evidence.) Thus, Song became the one responsible for supplying young male actors to those at the top. In the live video recording, voices can be heard: (1. "Why are you grabbing Longlong?" (2. "He kept resisting.") Photo and documentary evidence shows that Cheng, Song, and Li all graduated from the Film Academy. Yu is not the type of actor that can rely on the power of playing according to the rules to climb. He has no support, can't buy, but he has access to many good resources. He was frozen for two to three years, and upon returning, still refused to follow the unspoken rules. After his death, a scheduled appearance on CCTV the following day was canceled. The victim's mother was placed under surveillance and ultimately forced to announce through Yu Menglong’s studio (which had been deregistered in July and issued a statement disclaiming responsibility) that her son jumped to his death. For someone like Tian with 13 billion yuan, spending 50 million to silence the news is nothing. Coincidentally, Xiaohongshu (boss) was summoned for talks just a few days ago, preventing users from posting about it. All of the above is true. Yu Menglong was pure and upright, never involved in scandals, and had often tried to dissuade others in the industry from committing suicide. Yet this was the fate he met. As his junior, I cannot speak out domestically. Teacher Zhai, please clarify for the public that this case was a deliberate murder, not suicide, and restore the victim's innocence." 🙏 #于朦朧墜樓事件 #YuMenglongFallingEvent #justiceforyumenglong #于朦胧坠楼 #YuMenglong #于朦胧 #AlanYu #YuMenglong #JusticeforYuMenglong #YuMenglong于朦胧 #于朦胧

Chamath condemns media whitewashing of the Fly Dubai hijacking attempt PALIHAPITIYA: "A Omani national stabbed an Indian pilot and then tried to down a plane full of Israelis. That is what happened. And any attempt to try to cover up any of those facts is cowardly. I've worked in Israel. I've had some incredible memories there. I think at some point we all just need to take a step back and realize what happened October 7th was horrible. What's happened in Palestine also horrible. But you cannot now see these kinds of things and look past them because you care more about a narrative than what the facts are. Those were 150, 170 earnest, normal people living lives." "Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, kids. They didn't deserve to get plunged into the ground and die. So I think this idea that you can now whitewash what happens, enough is enough. And I think we need to find a way to actually tell the truth for what things are. So I was really disappointed in how the media handled it." "And I think it's dangerous. And I think it's yet another demonstration that these people have absolutely no moral authority left in society. They're just pathetic, putrid," "And they're, and by the way, they're coordinated. When you see the words, the same words over and over. Altercation, altercation, altercation. It's very powerful. It means that it starts from one place." "And I think that, you know, if you believe that you are reading this stuff and you're getting the facts, you're just not. And so," FRIEDBERG: "Well, it implies that one guy did something wrong to the other guy and they got in a fight. That's not what happened. That's what it implies." --- A chronological, fact-only reconstruction of how the FlyDubai FZ1073 cockpit attack unfolded and was thwarted mid-flight. On FlyDubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, an Omani co-pilot stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar and forced the Boeing 737 into a rapid dive. Despite severe stab wounds, the captain unlocked the cockpit door, allowing passengers and relief crew to intervene mid-flight. The verified record of the incident: • Flight FZ1073 was carrying 174 passengers, mostly Israeli citizens, from Dubai to Tel Aviv. • After the captain unlocked the door, passengers and crew stormed the cockpit and physically restrained the co-pilot. • The crew pulled the Boeing 737 out of its dive and stabilized the aircraft. • The pilots transmitted emergency transponder codes and diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. • Captain Machchhar was hospitalized upon landing, and all 174 passengers survived. • Authorities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel have opened a joint investigation.

"Mr. Rubio is discussing The Legacy Program [and his] response was, 'Well, what the hell is the Executive Branch doing? Have they been running this for 60 years without congressional oversight?'" ~Matthew Brown “You’re going to be lied to because that’s the rule. Most of these black programs are not supposed to be acknowledged.” ~Dr. Eric Davis (Is that why Rubio does the dance? Is he not allowed to acknowledge the alleged Legacy Crash Retrieval and Reverse Engineering program if he's been read in? How much does Rubio really know?) From Part 2 of the interview with Matthew Brown on WEAPONIZED. H/T: Corbell and Knapp. ~ Matthew Brown - Matthew: "When I was in USDI, I read the transcripts of Sean Kirkpatrick briefing Senator Secretary Marco Rubio, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand on the results of his investigation in his congressionally-tasked AARO report. And those transcripts, which were supposed to be open kimono - Here's the truth, Mr. Senator, Mrs. Senator - Sean Kirkpatrick, absolutely distorted, downplayed, and - can't prove it, but I would say - outright lied to the people who have direct responsibility for him." George Knapp: "Saying what? What did he say that was a lie?" Brown: "So, it's more of a lie of the whole thing, the big picture, right? In the meeting, it's, you know, 'Congressman Rubio, we've heard about this incident. We just don't have enough data to go on it, to really know what this is. We don't have any way of really figuring out what's going on. It could just be an anomaly. In fact, it's most likely an anomaly.' So starting with an acknowledgement that, you know, 'Oh yeah, you have some data, but we have the insight and the scientific expertise to make you feel at ease.'" Knapp: "Nothing to see here, folks, move along." Brown: "Exactly. Although there was also political discussion involved in historic discussion. And, you know, I read these transcripts once, and immediately knew that...uhh, yeah." Knapp: "Veiled threat?" Brown: "No, I knew that I was now, something else. I had inside knowledge into the deception of our government by elements of our intelligence community. My blood ran cold at a specific point in that transcript where Mr. Rubio is discussing The Legacy Program. This was a subject of direct discussion with Sean Kirkpatrick in these meetings. And based on Mr. Kirkpatrick's replies, about...as vague as they were, but unable to escape the truth of The Legacy Program, Mr. Rubio's response was, 'Well, what the hell is the Executive Branch doing? Have they been running this for 60 years without congressional oversight?' I might be paraphrasing a little, but that's near-enough verbatim. And I saw that line and I, basically, closed that file and had a pretty sleepless night." Knapp: "You said your blood ran cold, meaning you're pissed, you're spooked?" Brown: "Scared." Knapp: "Scared for your country?" Brown: "I just think, in general, it's like a, I don't know, there was nothing associated. It was just like, immediate, 'Oh, fuck.'" Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell: "Good response." Brown: "Yeah." Knapp: "And you now know, this is real, this is a cover-up, they are lying about this stuff." Brown: "Yeah. At that point, I definitely knew the phenomena was absolutely real, I knew we were tracking it. I knew we had lots of resources on it for some time. But getting to that final like, step in the ladder and seeing like, oh, and the cover-up is real, and it's inside the house."

Conversation with Eric Li, VC from China, 2013, Oxford. Eric never misses on his analyses and now, with a rising China, people are starting to listen: • Eric Li grew up in China at the height of the Cultural Revolution. • Disillusioned by that “failed religion,” he went to the US, got degrees from Berkeley and Stanford, worked for Ross Perot, and joined Perot’s presidential campaign. • The interviewer asks how he became skeptical that liberal democracy is desirable or compatible with China. How his view changed? • When young, he “knew everything” and bought neat formulas that explained the whole world. • First formula: primitive society → slavery → feudalism → capitalism → communist utopia. It did not work out. • Second formula, learned in America: the individual is sovereign, and 1.3 billion people will vote themselves to paradise. Also too simple. • He left the US, returned to China, traveled Africa and Southeast Asia, and built a business. The world was more complex than either story. Post–Cold War playbook: • The Western script for prosperity failed most countries that followed it, including many in Africa and Southeast Asia. They cannot easily go back. • China did not follow that script. It had many problems, but produced the largest living-standards gain for the most people in the shortest time in history. Self-correction • The Party did not hold back modernization. It led it. • Self-correction, often treated as a unique democratic strength, has been a hallmark of Party governance. • Interviewer: without a free press, courts, or elections, how does the Party know a policy is wrong? Why electoral democracy is rigid? • Political science assumed democracies uniquely self-correct. • Evidence so far: they are extraordinarily rigid. Too many interests can block change. • Fukuyama called the US a “vetocracy”: everyone can veto everything. • Fareed Zakaria said the US should become parliamentary. That change will not happen. • Even switching presidential ↔ parliamentary form is nearly impossible, let alone larger reform. • America and Europe need reform. It is not happening because the systems are rigid. Why the Chinese system has been agile • The one-party system so far has been agile. He does not say it will be forever. • Before the 18th Party Congress, the Standing Committee had 9 members. Power was too diffuse. They cut it to 7. • Shrinking the US Senate from 100 to 88 would not happen, however urgent. Meritocracy and recruitment • He calls the CCP one of the most meritocratic, upwardly mobile political organizations in the world. • Princeling talk is overstated by his numbers: in the previous 25-person Politburo, only 5 came from privileged backgrounds. The other 20, including president and premier, came from ordinary backgrounds. • The Central Committee share was even smaller. • Contrast: US Senate (sons of senators and wealth) and South Korea (princeling patterns from politics to CEOs to university presidents). • The Party recruits top rural students at universities. They move up step by step. Selection is tough and performance-based. • Xi is a princeling, and the first Party head of state in 64 years with a political-family background. His path still took ~30 years: village → county → mayor → province. By the top he had managed ~150 million people and trillions in GDP. • You do not reach the top without that grinding machine. • Grassroots recruitment is the key to adaptation: rulers come from the same generation and know conditions on the ground. • He expects the princeling share to keep falling. In the next 20-year pipeline, almost none have a realistic shot at the top. Popularity vs speech controls • He cites high Pew and FT support as performance-based legitimacy. • Interviewer: if so popular, why control media, internet, protest, and dissent? Why not hold elections? • Li: not mainly about popularity or confidence. • Absolute free speech is a fallacy. No society has it. Every society regulates speech by its conditions. • The ideology treats speech as harmless because it is “not an act.” History says speech is an act and can do great harm. • Examples: 1933 Europe; Greece; face covering in France; banned books in Germany. • China is changing at unprecedented speed and scale. Stability is fragile. Amplified speech can disrupt it. • A responsible government calibrates debate space to the time. History judges whether the current range is right. Will China democratize after getting rich? • He rejects the premise that higher income creates demand for a particular system. • After the Cold War, many poor countries adopted electoral democracy. It did not deliver. • South Korea and Taiwan did democratize after getting richer, but under special Cold War / semi-sovereign conditions. • Many poor countries also wanted democracy. Income and political preference are not tightly linked. How long the system lasts? • It depends on many variables. • Can they keep performing? He thinks yes for some time, probably within his generation. • Second: will imported electoral democracy keep failing in non-Western countries that adopted it because they thought it worked, not because it grew from their own tradition? • If that trend continues, China is less likely to copy it. His line: who would be that stupid to copy something that does not work? Is it an alternative to Western liberal democracy? • It is an alternative for China under current conditions. • The model itself is not exportable. • Systems work when they fit culture and time. They are not universal. • What is exportable: the idea that alternatives exist. Each country should find a path that fits its own circumstances instead of blindly copying others. 2013 → 2025 framing: • This exchange is from 2013 Oxford, when faith in the Western model was still strong. • Born in the Cultural Revolution and educated in top US schools, Li was supposed to be a convert. He became a critic instead. • Three claims that sounded radical then: electoral democracy is unusually rigid; absolute free speech does not exist; do not copy a script that is failing. • A decade later, polarization, division, and populism in the West made the rigidity diagnosis harder to dismiss. China stayed on a different path. • The old conversation is a time capsule. The questions got sharper, not weaker. • The video asks: was Li a clear-eyed realist or a clever defender of China? And does a path to prosperity exist outside the Western playbook?

Carlos Beltrán Breaks Silence on Hall of Fame and Cheating Scandal; (Translated and written by Master Flip) “Let me explain why I’ve stayed mostly quiet on this topic for so long. I didn’t want to keep bringing it up because I realized this one issue could easily overshadow everything else about my career. People might start judging who I am as a player based on a single moment in 2017 vs my career. I’m already a Hall of Famer. No one can take that away from me. I’m at peace with it. I’m genuinely happy, and I give thanks to God every day. What’s striking is that almost every person who villainized me, who refused to vote for me the first 2 years, eventually changed their mind and gave me their vote. So I have to ask, what changed? I didn’t add another hit. I didn’t hit another double. Nothing about my on field performance changed. Yet the narrative painted me as the biggest sign stealer in baseball history. The guy who single handedly ruined the game, invented the whole system, and chased an unfair advantage. And now, the very same people who once punished me for it are the ones giving me the honor to be in the Hall of Fame. To me, that feels counterproductive because if I didn’t improve or add anything new to my game why am I being rewarded? It makes you think about the stories that get told, the agendas that exist inside the game, and the systems that shape those narratives. Sure, people can say, “You were a veteran big dawg, you could’ve stopped it.” And I’ll be the first to admit, yeah, I could have. But so could the manager. So could the general manager, the president, the owner, anyone in a position of authority. This wasn’t some hidden secret. It was known throughout the organization, and it was carried out the way we did it as a team. When you step back and look at who ultimately paid the heaviest price. Beltrán and Alex Cora, that’s the part that still feels pretty brutal to me.” (🎥 IG/Deplaymaker)
