It all started with Fuchan’s boiling water laughing video. Thank you, Professor Fu, for always showering me with endless encouragement and praise. This year, I struggled for a while over whether or not to board the birthday video train (since once I start, it turns into nine videos, and I was a little worried I might run out of ideas 🤣). But the moment I saw Fuchan laughing so hard at the birthday videos that he nearly fell over, all of those worries vanished in an instant. I just wanted to make more and more! Riding the joy from the birthday videos, I was blessed with even more unexpected emotions and happiness: The Noctyx Virtual To LIVE The Noctyx concert, The Noctyx offline meet. I never thought I’d ever get to see the ones I love meet in real life— Going out together, Cuddling on the couch to chat and nap, Handcam takoyaki time together. I thought there would be even more to come. But I never imagined we’d get to check off every item on the dream list—until the very last page. Congratulations to Fuchan on moving into the next chapter. Thank you for giving us an irreplaceable three years. No matter where you are, We baaaaaaaaaa you. Wishing you all the best, always. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 從Fu醬燒開水笑影片開始 謝謝FU教授永遠大誇特誇給我這麼多鼓勵和讚美 今年一度陷入要不要做生日影片列車的掙扎(因為一開工就是9支影片,還有點擔心自己會不會沒梗🤣) 但看到FU醬對著生日影片笑得東倒西歪後,這些掙扎和擔心瞬間消失了 我想做更多更多! 延續著生日影片的心情 緊接著獲得了更多意想不到的感動和快樂 N團合唱曲 N團演唱會 N團線下 從沒想過有一天能看見我愛的你們終於在現實中見面 一起出門玩 一起窩在沙發上聊天睡覺 一起handcam吃章魚燒 以為接下來還有更多更多 但沒想到是夢想清單一項一項打勾直到最後一頁 恭喜FU醬即將前往下一個階段 謝謝FU醬帶給我們無與倫比的三年 不論你在哪 We baaaaaaaaaa you 願你一切安好 THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA😭😭😭😭😭❤️🧡💛💙💜

From Creator to Founder: The Rollercoaster Journey of Building Chatter Social Man, what a journey it’s been so far. Four years ago, I was just another creator, spending late nights on Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic. Like so many others, I was searching for connection, for community, for something meaningful. But what I found there wasn’t just connection—it was purpose. Alongside my brother, Jonathan Bing, we built a nightly show that reached over 5 million people. Imagine that: 5 million lives touched by conversations that felt real and unfiltered, all on a platform that at its peak had 10 million monthly active users. Clubhouse was magic. But then the decline began. Watching the platform struggle, I couldn’t help but reflect: what made it great? What went wrong? And what could the future look like if we did things differently? The Spark of Chatter As a content creator, I understood the needs of both creators and users. I knew what excited people, what kept them engaged, and what made them leave. Clubhouse had tapped into something special, but it had missed the mark on scalability and sustainability. By September 2023, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for something new—something that brought back the magic of real-time interaction but made it scalable, engaging, and sticky. And so, I set out to build Chatter Social. But I wasn’t a tech founder. I didn’t have a background in software development or a network of Silicon Valley insiders. What I did have was determination and the belief that if I could bring the right people together, we could build something extraordinary. Building the Team The journey to build Chatter started with assembling a team. Through my network from my days on Clubhouse, I found Samir, my first CTO. He believed in the vision and was instrumental in getting the project off the ground. Shortly after, I connected with Tyler, our Head of Design, whose creativity brought life to our ideas. A developer joined us soon after, and we were off to the races. By the end of 2023, Samir had to step away due to other commitments, and we promoted the developer to CTO. At the same time, I brought on Banko, a Sony music executive, as our CMO. Banko’s connections led to one of our biggest early wins: landing Davido, a global superstar, as an owner-ambassador. To this day, I still marvel at the fact that Davido believed in our vision when all we had were Tyler’s Figma designs. From Dream to Reality Early 2024 was a whirlwind. We hired Yurii and Vasyl, two developers from Ukraine who brought incredible skill and dedication to the team. Vasyl, in particular, stood out as a leader and has since earned an equity position in the company. But despite these wins, we were facing growing pains. Our new CTO struggled to meet deadlines, and as a result, I found myself constantly pushing back the launch date. What started as a January release turned into February, then March, then April, then May. By then, people on Twitter Spaces—where I had been hyping up the platform—started doubting if we even had a product. Launch and Lessons June 1, 2024, marked a turning point. It was the day my son Noah was born and the day we launched Chatter in private beta. We started with just 40 users, but by the end of the month, we had grown to 1,000. The engagement was unbelievable. Users loved it, even though we had launched with just one feature: live rooms. This represented less than 20% of what we had planned, but it was enough to show that we were onto something big. In July, we launched our public beta on the App Store as an invite-only platform. Within 48 hours, Chatter ranked as a top 30 social app in over 30 countries. But our invite system throttled access, and most users couldn’t get in. While engagement metrics soared for those inside, our AWS costs exploded. In August, our AWS bill hit $10,000. By September, it had climbed to $15,000, and we were drowning in bugs and glitches. The breaking point came when our CTO became unresponsive, often disappearing during critical moments. Users were dropping off, frustrated by the issues, developers were confused and the team was also growing increasingly frustrated, I made the tough decision to let him go. A New Beginning Enter Horane, a long-time user of Chatter who had been with us since private beta. He was the first to discover some of the most innovative use cases for the platform and had a deep passion for its potential. After meeting him in person at a Chatter event, I knew he was the right person to step into the CTO role. When Horane took over, we discovered just how bad the situation was. Key areas of the codebase were locked, and there were no separate environments for development and production. Every fix seemed to break something else. But through sheer determination and countless 18-hour days, Horane stabilized the platform. Today, Chatter is far from perfect, but it’s stable. The bugs that plagued us have been reduced to moderate issues, and our core users—those who stuck with us through the chaos—are still engaged on the platform. Looking Ahead: Chatter V2 While the platform is stable now, we’ve shifted our focus to Chatter V2. This is where the magic really begins. V2 isn’t just an improvement; it’s a complete reimagining of the platform. It includes all the features we couldn’t release in V1 because we were too busy putting out fires. Imagine this: Chatter V1, with only one live feature, was incredibly sticky. Now think about what happens when we release a fully loaded platform with all the innovative features we’ve been working on behind the scenes. The possibilities are endless. V2 is slated to hit TestFlight by the end of December, with a public release in January 2025. And this time, we’re ready—not just with the product but with the lessons we’ve learned. The Hard Lessons This journey has taught me more than I ever thought possible: 1) Your Team is Everything: The right people can make or break your vision. Finding people who believe in your mission is just as important as finding people with the right skills. 2) Adaptability is Key: As a non-technical founder, I had to learn about development, DevOps, and product management on the fly. Challenges will push you to grow, whether you’re ready or not. 3) Trust the Process: Every setback, every delay, every bug—it all taught us something. Without those lessons, we wouldn’t be building the incredible V2 product we are today. 4) Resilience is Non-Negotiable: From technical disasters to predatory investors who tried to exploit my desperation, I’ve had to fight for this vision every step of the way. What’s Next December is shaping up to be an exciting month. We have some amazing events planned on the platform to close out the year, bringing our core community together as we prepare for the V2 launch. When V2 drops, it will mark a new era for Chatter. This isn’t just a social audio platform or a social audiovisual platform. Chatter is all about interactive experiences—making social media social again in ways that are truly unique. The public launch is slated for February 2025, and for the first time, we’ll have the marketing dollars to tell the world about Chatter. Our core community has been our biggest cheerleaders, and I can’t wait to see how the world reacts when they experience what we’ve built. Final Thoughts This has been the hardest year of my life, but also the most rewarding. To other founders, or anyone thinking about starting a company: know this—it will test you in ways you can’t imagine. You’ll face betrayal, doubt, and moments where you feel like giving up. But if you believe in your vision and refuse to quit, you’ll find a way forward. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my team, and Chatter. We’re just getting started. Let’s talk about it. 🚀 If this story inspired you, please like and share it so others can learn from my experiences. The journey is far from over, but I’m more excited than ever for what’s to come.

中国共产党中央委员会总书记习近平先生。 我是杜文,是原内蒙古自治区政府法律顾问室主任,我是王伟华,是内蒙古呼和浩特市的一名小学教师,我们实在不堪被中共当局迫害而被迫流亡欧洲。我们现在怀着巨大的悲愤发出这段视频,愿全能的耶稣帮助我们让你看到这条视频。 杜文的案子是怎么回事你是清楚的,我们知道中纪委对你汇报过,如果你还是想不起就请去你家的书架上找杜文案件那本书看一下。 我们的慈父王拴柱老人于2024年4月28日突然辞世。他老人家最后的遗憾是未能取回2010年5月5日赛汗分局冯志明在办理杜文案件中错误扣押他的101枚银元。这101枚银元是父亲的父亲给他留下的唯一遗物。在发现错误扣押后,有关部门2012年11月29日决定将这些银元返还给老人。但是当时因为老人发现部分银元被调包而拒收,我将返还清单在这里出示。这些年来,老人一直要求赛罕分局能够按照当时扣押时的照片和录像返还我们,但始终未能如愿,直到今天猝然辞世。作为至亲我们想满足老人最后的遗愿,也不想再在这件事上纠缠。老人计划4月30日遗体告别,我们请求你们,能够29日将该遗物返还我们。以便我们带到老人家遗体前,让他能够安心地离开这个世界。我们现在人在欧洲无法返回,我们的委托律师可以接收。 请理解我们的心情和老人家生前的愿望,我们期待中共当局能够尽快回应,让老人家得到应有的尊重和安宁。盼望你们别再继续为难我们。 Mr. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. My name is Du Wen, former director of the Legal Advisory Office of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government, and my name is Wang Weihua, a primary school teacher in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. We have been forced into exile in Europe due to unbearable persecution by the CCP authorities. With great sorrow, we release this video, hoping that Almighty Jesus will help you see it. You are aware of Du Wen's case, as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has reported it to you. If you cannot remember, please find the book about Du Wen's case on your bookshelf. Our dear father, Wang Shuanzhu, passed away suddenly on April 28, 2024. His last regret was not being able to retrieve the 101 silver dollars wrongfully seized during the handling of Du Wen's case by Feng Zhiming of Saihan Branch on May 5, 2010. These silver dollars were the only heirloom left by his father. After discovering the wrongful seizure, the authorities decided on November 29, 2012, to return the silver dollars to him, but he refused to accept them at the time because he found that some had been swapped. Here is the list of the returned items. Over the years, he has requested the Saihan Branch to return them as they were seized, according to the photos and videos at the time, but his wish was never fulfilled until his sudden death today. As his close relatives, we wish to fulfill his last will and no longer want to dwell on this matter. The funeral is planned for April 30, and we request that you return the heirloom to us by April 29 so that we can present them in front of his remains, allowing him to depart this world peacefully. We are currently in Europe and unable to return, but our appointed lawyer can receive them. Please understand our feelings and the wishes of our late father. We look forward to a prompt response from the CCP authorities, allowing our father the respect and peace he deserves. We hope you will no longer make things difficult for us.

War Diary Day 1,391 Blaise Metreweli, the Chief of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, sticks it to the Killer in The Kremlin. And all his creepy helpers. I agree with every fucking word. VPDFO! (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered) 📷 Welcome inside MI6. This iconic building, familiar to movie fans everywhere, is the home of Britain’s foreign intelligence agency. But whilst hundreds of my team pass through the entry pods each day, the truth is that most of our work happens many miles away from this place - out of sight, hidden from the world, undercover, recruiting and running agents who choose to place their trust in us, sharing secrets to make the UK and the world safer. You might pass one of our officers on the street or sit next to them on a plane when you’re about to set off on an adventure of your own, or in a foreign city taking selfies by the sights. Whether it’s in seemingly everyday places, or on the front line embedded with our military, MI6 is there. In my first few weeks, I’ve heard repeatedly that MI6 is trusted and respected globally, two things that we never take for granted. We are seen as a source of hard power, soft influence and rapid innovation. I’ve also heard that people want to believe in MI6. It’s my job to make sure they can. Today, I want to talk about human agency. We all have choices to make about how we deal with the undercurrents shaping our world. About how, in our new, faster, more dangerous and technology-mediated world, it will be our rediscovery of our shared humanity, our ability to listen, and our courage that will determine how our future unfolds. Conflict is not inevitable. Understanding human nature is in my bones. From a family shaped by devastating conflict, I grew up with a deep sense of gratitude for the UK’s precious democracy and freedom. I spent much of my childhood overseas, which is where my passion for travel and adventure began. I studied anthropology, and later psychology and AI, exploring how we make sense of the world and each other. It’s why I was drawn to MI6: it offers strong purpose, a chance to serve and a belief in the positive power of human connection. Like the Service, I’m operational to my very core. Over nearly three decades, my career has involved recruiting and running agents in hostile territory; and leading operations in warzones to defuse threats and support peace. Always in teams, always learning from others. Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of brilliant partners – and indeed occasionally those we’d label as adversaries – across dozens of countries, tackling weapons proliferation and terrorism. During my time at MI5, I saw close up what it takes to defend Britain from being targeted by hostile states. You’ll find many like me in my organisation: powerfully motivated to protect our precious country; curious about how our world is changing, joining dots and taking action, across domains. But it was in my last role as ‘Q’, where it was my job to turn emerging technologies from threats to opportunities that I could most see the world changing. As I dug deep into data and extraordinary innovation, I could see how technology was rapidly reshaping not just our capabilities but also conflict and trust, truth and global power. Let me lay out how I see the global issues MI6 must tackle. Because the greatest danger we face is to misunderstand the nature of the problem. Let’s be in no doubt. Our world is more dangerous and contested now than it has been for decades. Conflict is evolving and trust eroding, just as new technologies spur both competition and dependence. We are being contested from sea to space, from the battlefield to the boardroom. And even our brains, as disinformation manipulates our understanding of each other and ourselves. Across the globe, we are now confronting not one single danger, but an interlocking web of security challenges – military, technological, social, ethical even – each shaping the other in complex ways. We are now operating in a space between peace and war. This is not a temporary state or a gradual, inevitable evolution. Our world is being actively remade, with profound implications for national and international security. Institutions which were designed in the ashes of the Second World War are being challenged. New blocs and identities forming and alliances reshaping. Multipolar competition in tension with multilateral cooperation. But there’s something distinctive that will make this change unlike any other: the impact of advanced technologies, which will accelerate the pace and scale of every threat and opportunity, and increasingly, individualise them too. Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing are not only revolutionising economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they ‘converge’ to create science-fiction-like tools. There’s incredible promise in all this for all of us, from green technologies to hyper-personalised medicine. But also peril. AI-powered robots and drones are brilliant for scaled manufacturing but devastating on the battlefield. Discoveries that cure disease can also create new weapons. And as states race for tech supremacy, or as some algorithms become as powerful as states, those hyper-personalised tools could become a new vector for conflict and control. Power itself is becoming more diffuse, more unpredictable as control over these technologies is shifting from states to corporations, and sometimes to individuals. And at the same time, the foundations of trust in our societies are eroding. Information, once a unifying force, is increasingly weaponised. Falsehood spreads faster than fact, dividing communities and distorting reality. We live in an age of hyper-connection yet profound isolation. The algorithms flatter our biases and fracture our public squares. And as trust collapses, so does our shared sense of truth – one of the greatest losses a society can suffer. The defining challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply who wields the most powerful technologies, but who guides them with the greatest wisdom. Our security, our prosperity, and our humanity depend on it. Our world is being remade. And for the first time, we are all at the heart of it. My Service must now operate in this new context too: not just expert on hostile states, terrorism, proliferation and more, but also fluent in technology, able to anticipate the second and third order effects of advances that reshape the world in minutes not months. And as China will be a central part of the global transformation taking place this century, it is essential that we, as MI6, continue to inform the government’s understanding of China’s rise and the implications for UK national security. I’m going to break with tradition and won’t give you a global threat tour, but will focus here on Putin’s Russia. We all continue to face the menace of an aggressive, expansionist and revisionist Russia, seeking to subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO. I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population. But Putin should be in no doubt, our support is enduring. The pressure we apply on Ukraine’s behalf will be sustained. Because it is fundamental not just to European sovereignty and security but to global stability. Alongside the grinding war, Russia is testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war. It’s important to understand their attempts to bully, fearmonger and manipulate, because it affects us all. I am talking about: Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. Drones buzzing airports and bases. Aggressive activity in our seas, above and below the waves. State-sponsored arson and sabotage. Propaganda and influence operations that crack open and exploit fractures within societies. Countering this activity is the work of intelligence and security services across Europe and the globe. And as the Foreign Secretary made clear in a speech last week, the UK is defending itself against this Russian information warfare – sanctioning Russian media outlets pushing Kremlin narratives. The export of chaos is a feature not a bug in this Russian approach to international engagement; and we should be ready for this to continue until Putin is forced to change his calculus. So, how should we respond? It’s not enough now just to understand the world. We must shape it too. MI6 is well-positioned to respond to these threats and wider global instability. And we will continue to evolve, just as we have throughout our long history. The UK government has invested in our intelligence agencies and we are all using our unique powers to keep the British people safe. Our ‘open and connected’ partnerships across the UK Intelligence Community, with HMGCC, NSSIF and the wider tech ecosystem in the UK will become even more important – because in the digital battleground, no single organisation can prevail alone. As a global agency, MI6’s inbuilt strength is our partners and our people. The risks I have set out require us to work ever more closely with our colleagues in MI5, GCHQ and in defence and diplomacy. But also with our Five Eyes partners, with the E3, the EU, NATO, those across the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and beyond. And with many valued partners whose identity needs to remain secret. Together, we integrate our diverse talent, data and tools to meet the threat. AI is a domain in which we will excel, using the technology to augment, not replace, our human skills. Every digital trace, every byte of data, every algorithmic decision has implications for the safety of the lives of the courageous people who work with us as officers and agents, and for the UK’s strategic advantage. Mastery of technology will infuse everything we do. Not just in our labs, but in the field, in our tradecraft, and even more importantly, in the mindset of every officer. We will become as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages. Under my leadership, MI6 will continue to attract Britain’s best and most creative minds: linguists and data scientists, case officers and engineers, behavioural experts and technologists. We need people who walk in the shoes and get in the heads of our adversaries. We need people who think differently, challenge assumptions, and act decisively. All can thrive and make a difference at MI6. At an operational level, we will sharpen our edge and impact with audacity, tapping into – if you like – our historical SOE instincts. We’re at our best when we’re hustling to make things happen, because our intelligence is most valuable when it changes reality on the ground. We will take calculated risks, where the prize is significant and the national interest clear. We will never stoop to the tactics of our opponents. But we must seek to outplay them. In every domain. In every way. So intelligence must drive action. Action must deliver advantage. And advantage must serve Britain’s security and prosperity. But at the core, our deeper contribution is also our simplest – how we unlock human agency. Our fast-paced, tech and threat-infused world now generates more heat than light. As nations retrench and rearm, we are losing opportunities to listen to what’s really going on. I’ve seen time and again throughout my career, that this is where MI6 matters most: we listen and we hear. We understand, because we take time to learn languages and cultures, complex technical and historical detail, immerse ourselves in what’s really driving the situation. Across the globe, right now, our officers are finding people with the courage to step forward, and they are taking time to sit and listen to break these tightening cycles of violence. They listen for nuance, for connection, for opportunity. Over the years, I’ve listened to terrorists who have told us how to defuse the bomb because they know that more violence won’t help. To proliferators and smugglers who’ve told us where to find the dangerous material, motivated to protect their children’s future. To people trapped in authoritarian regimes who know, deep down, that their humanity is being chipped away – and that telling us what’s really going on is an important release, allowing us all to find better ways to navigate our changing world. So, we will work with our agents. And we will continue to engage directly, and with respect, with states and organisation currently working against us. Away from the glare of the media, we will use MI6’s convening power wherever we can to make a material difference, bringing parties together to defuse tensions. But the response to the increasing risks we face won’t be delivered by the UK intelligence community alone. Wider society has a role to play too. That includes work taking place in schools across the country so our children don’t get duped by information manipulation. Let’s all check sources, consider evidence, and be alive to those algorithms that trigger intense reactions, like fear. It also means everyone in society really understanding the world we are in – a world where terrorists plot against us, where our enemies fearmonger, bully and manipulate, and the front line is everywhere. Online, on our streets, in our supply chains, in the minds and on the screens of our citizens. We must all stand together against this. As we do today with our friends in Australia after the shocking antisemitic terrorist attack this weekend. My thoughts -and those of my whole organisation – are with the family, friends and loved ones of the victims. Light will always win over darkness. In rising to meet these challenges we, in MI6, will remain anchored to our values: courage, creativity, respect and integrity. And to our principles: accountability and trust are not constraints on our work; they are the foundations of our legitimacy with the British public. Recently, I had the privilege of meeting and thanking a foreign agent who has worked with us for decades, taking extraordinary risks to help keep the UK safe. I asked why. They said simply, ‘Your values. Your integrity and respect. None of us have a future without them’. This moment reinforced to me that we must remain a very human agency. And so, to sustain that trust, MI6 will continue to be more open. Not for the sake of visibility, but because it matters – and as my MI5 counterpart Sir Ken McCallum said recently - because it is a strength. We will continue the practice of speaking publicly, broaden our channels of engagement, and sustain our focus on attracting the most diverse talent to join our Service. Transparency does not mean revealing what must remain secret. It means showing the British people who we are, what we stand for, and why our work matters. We need your trust and support for the difficult and often dangerous work our agents pursue, every day of the year. In an age of uncertainty, one constant remains: the choices made by human beings still determine the shape of the world. Yes, technology can illuminate possibilities: but information requires judgement; complexity demands clarity; and only people can decide which path to follow. The United Kingdom’s global voice has never rested solely on strength – it has rested on trust, principle, and the ability to understand others as well as ourselves. That is also the essence of intelligence: not simply knowing the world, but interpreting it through a uniquely human lens. Ours is the quiet service, the hidden service. It is one rooted in a profound belief that when human beings act with purpose and integrity, they can steady a faltering world. When the Berlin Wall fell, it was our shared belief in freedom that carried Europe forward. When acts of terror targeted open societies, it was intelligence, cooperation and resolve that preserved them. And when adversaries blur fact and falsehood, our task is to defend the space where truth can still stand. As we step into the future, the tools at our disposal will evolve. But what will always matter most is the human element – the person who stands in the shadows and says: this is right, and that is wrong. That choice – the exercise of human agency – has shaped our world before, and it will shape it again. Because in the end, it is not what we can do that defines us, but what we choose to do. Thank you. Published 15 December 2025

My cousin, Jonathan Ord asked me to teach the Come Follow Me lesson to his mission yesterday over zoom. This is the video I did and the full text. Hi. I am Brad Smith. I have ALS, which is a really weird disease that kills the motor neurons in my body. That means that I lose the connections between my brain and my muscles. My mind is still running at the normal rate. So, I can understand everything you say to me, but I can’t respond very quickly! I am getting faster, though. Last November I was the 3rd person in the world to receive the Neuralink brain implant. So I am controlling this computer with my brain. This is my old voice, recreated by AI from just two hours of me talking to my phone. I have come to see ALS as a calling, and I am trying to magnify it. I used to talk easily, but now I have to choose my words carefully, because it is hard and slow to type what I want to say. I joke that the Lord gave me ALS to get me to shut up. Those who knew me when I could talk laugh the hardest. President Ord is my first cousin. So we share grandma and grandpa Smith. Our grandma Smith was a character. When she taught at church, she would put a sign up that read: “thus saith the lord:” so I will try to keep this within what the Lord has actually said, while trying to teach you to look at a basic principle of the gospel in a different way. Ironically, the first verse of Doctrine & Covenants 93 starts with “Verily, thus saith the Lord”. This is an amazing section of scripture, Jesus Christ telling us to step up and be better! You should study it often. I will start with a story. I asked AI to make a video to dramatically tell the story. During college, I lived in Damascus, Syria, for a semester. It was a fantastic and wonderful experience. I especially loved exploring the Old City of Damascus. The Old City is built around the huge beautiful Umayyad mosque. Within the walls of the old city is a maze of narrow, winding, confusing streets and one really long straight street, as Saul found out in Acts 9:11. One day when a group of us were trying to get through this maze from the mosque to the Christian quarter of the Old City, we asked a man for directions. He thought for a second, then pointed and said, “Go left and then right, and then left and then right, and then left and then right, and then left and right, and you’ll be there.” Aren’t those the most ridiculous directions you have ever heard? We could have ignored him. But, we thought, he did know the city better than we did. So, with some laughter, off we went. Left. Right. Left. Right. And so on until, much to our surprise, we popped out at our destination. Life is a confusing maze. We face difficult choices, unexpected events, surprises, sorrows, opportunities, roadblocks. The Lord has given directions on how to get through to where we want to go. Sometimes the Lord’s directions seem odd, and we may struggle with the decision to follow. The Lord will not force us. It is our choice whether to choose and follow him. Wasn’t that fun? AI is getting crazy! I will be much less entertaining for the rest, but hopefully the spirit will teach you something new. The phrase “keep the commandments” (or “keepeth my commandments”) appears at least 4 times in Doctrine and Covenants Section 93, in verses 1, 20, 27, and 28. There are other references, like “keep my sayings” in 52 and “obeyeth my voice” in 1. So, commandments are really important in this Revelation. I suggest that making the gospel a more central part of our lives depends largely on how we look at commandments. When you think of commandments, do you think “I can’t. I’m Mormon”? (That was a popular T-shirt slogan during my college years.) Although, with the recent guidance from President Nelson, it probably should be “I can’t, I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. It’s a common reaction: “Thou shalt not do Cool Things.” People LOVE to focus on all the things we CAN’T do, as if we are trapped and deserve pity for our beliefs. No pity is needed. Commandments are opportunities, not constraints. Commandments are awesome! Allow me to illustrate. Imagine a spectrum between Good and Evil. Somewhere in the middle is “the Line” that divides Good from Evil. As a teenager, I wanted to know where the Line was, so I could get close to it without going over it. I wanted to be on the “Good” side but still be able to do as many “Cool Things" with my friends as possible. From my experience, I believe God gives us two types of commandments: 1) Get Back over the Line commandments and 2) Come Further into the Light commandments. Type 1, the Get Back over the Line commandments, could also be called “Misery Avoidance” commandments. They are designed to keep us out of misery or, if we’ve crossed the Line, to bring us out of misery and back into the Good side. These are generally commandments with a clear and defined point of success, such as “Thou shalt not kill.” You will know, at the end of each day, whether you have successfully followed that commandment. I think all of the Ten Commandments fall into this category. The law of Moses was very black and white. The children of Israel had been in Egypt without a prophet for a long time when Moses received the law, and they needed to work on the basics. So, if you follow the Type 1 commandments, you will refrain from doing things that make you miserable. You will know you are in the Good if you can answer the baptismal interview and temple recommend questions honestly and faithfully. If you can do that, you have taken the basic steps necessary to avoid misery and are on a solid foundation for the next type of commandment. Type 2, the “Come Further into the Light” commandments, are the really cool commandments. Once we are out of the misery category, we can really start to pursue joy. So, God commands us to do things that he knows will make us happier and more like Christ. These commandments are the principles of eternal development, such as “Love thy neighbor” (Matthew 22:39). There is no clear end to loving our neighbor—it requires positive and eternal progression. We can always love more, and we can always find another neighbor who needs our love. It is an eternal principle taught by Jesus Christ. And if we truly love our neighbor, refraining from killing him becomes pretty easy. It is through these commandments that we find joy in Jesus Christ. Elder Christofferson taught about this spectrum in the October 2018 general conference: “Most of us find ourselves at this moment on a continuum between a socially motivated participation in gospel rituals on the one hand and a fully developed, Christlike commitment to the will of God on the other. Somewhere along that continuum, the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ enters into our heart and takes possession of our soul. It may not happen in an instant, but we should all be moving toward that blessed state.” Our goal is to go THAT WAY (toward Christ) as much as possible. So first, get back across the line and stop doing things that will make you miserable. Then make every effort to try and be like Jesus, to “love one another as Jesus loves you.” The gospel of Jesus Christ is more than just “not doing” stuff. It is about coming unto Christ, being perfected in him, and denying ourselves of all ungodliness. Discuss with your companion what commandments and mission rules are for “Misery Avoidance” and which are “Come Further into the Light”! And, remember, commandments are ALWAYS connected to huge blessings. The Lord promised, “There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—and when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated” (Doctrine and Covenants 130:20–21). Whenever we obey any of God’s commandments, we will get the blessing associated with that commandment. Elder David A. Bednar said: “The gospel of Jesus Christ encompasses much more than avoiding, overcoming, and being cleansed from sin and the bad influences in our lives; it also essentially entails doing good, being good, and becoming better. Repenting of our sins and seeking forgiveness are spiritually necessary, and we must always do so. But remission of sin is not the only or even the ultimate purpose of the gospel. To have our hearts changed by the Holy Spirit such that “we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually” (Mosiah 5:2), as did King Benjamin’s people, is the covenant responsibility we have accepted. “This mighty change is not simply the result of working harder or developing greater individual discipline. Rather, it is the consequence of a fundamental change in our desires, our motives, and our natures made possible through the Atonement of Christ the Lord. Our spiritual purpose is to overcome both sin and the desire to sin, both the taint and the tyranny of sin.” I LOVE this concept—and as I have paid attention, I feel like apostles are trying to teach us this all the time. Are we listening? Let me repeat what Elder Bednar said. He said that the commandments help us change what we WANT. Why is that important? Remember my teenage desires? I wanted to be as close to the line as possible so I could still look cool for my friends. That is a good example of the “tyranny” of sin. Even though I was not actually sinning (probably because I was afraid of my mother), I still had some small desire to sin. I said, “I can’t. I’m Mormon” with many dramatic sighs. Overcoming the tyranny of sin is getting to the point where the sin no longer looks remotely interesting or fun because we are too busy loving our neighbors and trying to be like Jesus. Elder Dallin H. Oaks said: “The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become. It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become.” This talk was given when I was on a mission, before most of you were born. It completely changed my perspective on the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is called The Challenge to Become” and I recommend that you study it. When the Lord says keep the commandments, he isn’t just telling us to stop sinning—he wants us to become like Christ and to have joy. Take a moment and think, Where am I on this continuum? Remember that none of us is perfect like the Savior, and we all need to lift one another. That is why we worship together. That is why we have priesthood quorums and the Relief Society, Primary, and youth organizations. The Lord taught us that truth when he said we all have different gifts: “To some is given one [gift], and to some is given another [gift], that all may be profited thereby. To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world. To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful” (Doctrine and Covenants 46:12–14). The Savior is still WAY over there: a thousand miles away somewhere. That is why we have quorums. We all have a long way to go. Let’s link arms and run together. Let me finish by telling a story from my mission to support my testimony of Jesus. Years ago my mission president said something interesting: “Either the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is truly the kingdom of god on the earth... or it is the greatest fraud ever in history.“ It is audacious to claim to be the true Church of Jesus Christ—but let me explain exactly why I know that to be true. I always BELIEVED that I was raised in the gospel of Jesus Christ. My parents taught me well and I felt good following the commandments and studying the scriptures. That led me to serve a mission in Brazil. My turning point of testimony came when I was 20–at least 2/3rds through my mission. We were invited into a house in the “fundos” of a property—a small structure built behind a larger house. The man was polite and allowed us to share our message. As I had done hundreds of times, I shared the story of Joseph Smith, a boy who sought the truth through prayer. I recited Joseph’s own words in response to his prayer: “I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me... When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" I felt the strongest feeling I had ever experienced—an undeniable confirmation that what I said was true. It hit me in a way I can never forget! I knew that Joseph Smith was truly a prophet, and therefore the Book of Mormon was the word of god. What about the man we were teaching? How had he responded to my life-affirming spiritual experience? He shrugged and politely thanked us for the message. I was stunned. I felt like the windows of heaven opened on me—and he felt nothing. I learned that receiving answers to our prayers is like tuning a radio: not everyone is on the right frequency. For some reason, the Lord decided to broadcast on my frequency that day. I received the undeniable confirmation that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. I have built on that foundation brick by brick since then. And every time someone has challenged me on Joseph Smith, I go back to that day in Brazil. I know that he was a prophet. My life has been blessed in ridiculously good ways since then. As I have tried to follow Jesus Christ, great things have happened to me. Even my hardest and most frustrating times have turned out to have a purpose. God has upturned my best laid plans over and over. But I look back and realize that I could never have planned any better. With the prophet Nephi I say: “I know that [God] loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things." (1 Nephi 11:17) When I say that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true, that does not mean we have a monopoly on truth. I know Christians and Muslims who teach me to be better—and Members of the church who are far from disciples of Christ. We just have more truth: scriptures, living prophets, ordinances, personal revelation, and answers to many of life’s biggest questions! That is pretty cool. But we can’t be prideful about the truth we have. You have all probably met people to admire both inside and outside of the church. So, I am all in. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true—not a big fraud. And we are all trying to get closer to Christ. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Life has not been what I expected, but I trust him! I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of Jesus Christ and that the Book of Mormon is true. This is “intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth. Light and truth forsake that evil one.” With that knowledge, keep the commandments! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen .

反共宣言 — 唐埸淇 不在沉默中爆發,就在沉默中滅亡! Anti-CCP Declaration — Yiqi Tang Those who do not explode in silence will perish in silence. #实名反共 #民主自由 #EndCCP #FreedomAndDemocracy 我的一切政治立场和行为均为个人意志,与我在中国的亲属和朋友无关。 All my political positions and actions are solely my own. They have nothing to do with my relatives or friends in China. --------------------------------------------------------------- 我叫唐埸淇,來自浙江省臨海市,實名反共。 我為什麼要反共? 我從小對數學和物理感興趣,好奇宇宙和時空為什麼存在。初中時我立下了一生追求的夢想:研究物理,追求真理。 我從小對政治不感興趣。地球在宇宙中只是一粒塵埃,而地球上的每一個人,不過是一團微不足道的物質。人類在地球上生息繁衍萬年,在宇宙的時間尺度中不過短短一瞬。我想專心學習,成為一個物理學家。 但是你不碰政治,政治會來碰你。 中共為了維持統治,在義務教育、高中和大學裡設計了一套洗腦體系:應試教育把人變成刷題機器,政治課讓年輕人從小對威權沉默,慢慢地像羊羔一樣被馴服。這種從教育開始的罪惡,無可饒恕。 我最開始對這一切還有些麻木。那時候沒有翻牆,沒有看到中共的真面目,只是本能地討厭政治。 但是疫情發生之後,中共施行慘絕人寰的封控政策。我身邊的親屬也遭遇了不公的事情,我同時在外網上了解到中共的黑暗。 從那時起我明白了:反共不僅是我作為一個人出生在那片土地上的義務,也是我除了追求真理之外的另一個人生目標。 人都是由分子、原子、乃至更小的基本粒子構成的,在宇宙面前同樣渺小。既然每個人在宇宙面前都同樣渺小,那就沒有任何人有資格凌駕於另一個人之上——這是我認為人人生而平等、生而自由的根本原因。 但是中共把冠冕堂皇的話寫在憲法裡,卻不給百姓真正的政治權利和言論自由,把威權建立在一個又一個謊言之上。 中共治下的中國,是現代的封建王朝,是全世界的毒瘤。 按照牛頓第三定律,中共施加在百姓身上的每一份壓迫,自身也必然承受等量的反作用力。而按照熱力學第二定律,一個封閉系統的熵只會增加——中共越是封鎖資訊、壓制自由,這個系統內部的無序和矛盾就越積越深,不可逆轉。壓力積累到臨界點,必然爆發。這不是政治預言,這是物理規律。 共產主義違背人性,從一開始就註定了它滅亡的結局,和歷史上每一個封建王朝一樣。 推翻共產黨,解放東亞大陸,建立民主國家——各地區的人民可以按照自己的意願選擇獨立。並且自由地、幸福地生活。 共產黨,你可以消滅一個人的肉體,但無法毀滅一個人的意志。自由精神永存。 我唐埸淇,今天在此發誓:一生堅定反共,追求真理與免於恐懼的自由!!!🔥 My name is Yiqi Tang. I am from Linhai, Zhejiang Province. I oppose the CCP under my real name. Why do I oppose the CCP? I have been interested in mathematics and physics since I was young, curious about why the universe and spacetime exist. In middle school I set a lifelong dream: to study physics and pursue truth. I have never been interested in politics. The Earth is but a speck of dust in the universe, and every person on it is nothing more than an insignificant arrangement of matter. Humanity has lived and multiplied on this planet for millennia — a mere instant on the cosmic timescale. All I wanted was to study and become a physicist. But if you don't touch politics, politics will touch you. To maintain its rule, the CCP has built a brainwashing system spanning compulsory education, high school, and university: exam-oriented education turns people into test-taking machines, and political courses teach young people from childhood to submit silently to authoritarianism — tamed like lambs, slowly and deliberately. This evil, which begins with education, is unforgivable. At first I was still numb to all of this. I hadn't used a VPN, hadn't seen the CCP's true face. I simply disliked politics by instinct. But after the pandemic, the CCP imposed its inhumane lockdown policies. My own relatives suffered injustices, and at the same time I began to discover the CCP's darkness through the uncensored internet. From that moment I understood: opposing the CCP is not only my duty as a person born on that land, but also a life purpose alongside my pursuit of truth. Every human being is made of molecules, atoms, and even smaller fundamental particles — equally insignificant before the universe. Since every person is equally insignificant before the universe, no one has the right to place themselves above another. This is the fundamental reason I believe all people are born equal and born free. Yet the CCP writes lofty words in its constitution while denying the people genuine political rights and freedom of speech, building its authority on one lie after another. China under the CCP is a modern feudal dynasty and a cancer on the world. By Newton's Third Law, every force of oppression the CCP exerts on its people produces an equal and opposite reaction upon itself. And by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the entropy of a closed system can only increase — the more the CCP blocks information and suppresses freedom, the deeper the disorder and contradictions accumulate within, irreversibly. When pressure reaches its critical point, an eruption is inevitable. This is not a political prophecy. It is the law of physics. Communism defies human nature. Its demise was written into its beginning, just like every feudal dynasty in history. Overthrow the Communist Party. Liberate the East Asian continent. Establish democratic nations — where the people of each region may choose independence according to their own will, and live freely and happily. Communist Party, you can destroy a person's body, but you cannot destroy a person's will. The spirit of freedom is eternal. I, Yiqi Tang, hereby declare: I will oppose the CCP with unwavering resolve for the rest of my life, in pursuit of truth and freedom from fear!!!🔥

"Tell us this isn't true." "They had a live being out [near Area 51]." "There were human experiments that went on." 👽🛸 Roswell: A Non-Human Craft or a Darker Secret? 🤫😶 (Transcript is shorter than clip. I don't have room to type more in this post so I'll just wait for replies.) ~ Lex Fridman: "In your book on 'Area 51,' you propose an explanation that I think some people have criticized, at the very end. That this might have been a disinformation campaign from, I guess, Stalin, that the Roswell incident was a remotely-piloted plane with a quote 'grotesque, child-sized aviator.' Just looking back at all that now, years later, what's the probability that it's true? What's the probability it's not?" Annie Jacobsen: (AJ): "So, you know, I've never revealed who that source is." Lex: "Yes." AJ: "You know that? Want me to tell you?" Lex: "Okay, who was the source?" AJ: "So, before I say anything on that, let me speak to the question that you asked, right? So, you asked me, 'What's the probability that that is still standing as an idea, 12, 13, 14 years later,' right? So, I continued to work with that source for years, afterwards. We talked about this. Look, I mean, his whole family knew it was him. And I knew his family because I was an integral part of, you know, I was at his house, met all his kids, grandkids." Lex: "And we should say, the source is the main expert advisor behind the story that it was. Maybe you can explain what the story is that your report in the book, that it was a disinformation campaign created by Stalin to cause mass hysteria in the United States. The very kind that we've been speaking about with the CIA and so on." AJ: "Yes! Predicated on the narrative of the 'War of the Worlds,' right? And the 'War of the Worlds,' when it was a radio program in the United States, made people go crazy. 'Oh, my God, we're being invaded by aliens!' Well, the government was always interested in the story and Joseph Stalin was, too. We know that from declassified documents, right? "And so, the source told me that the reason for this program, and that the real Roswell crash remains, were in fact, it was a black-propaganda hoax infiltrated, you know, or rather, predicated at this idea that you were gonna overwhelm America's early-warning, air-defense system, cause mayhem and maybe be able to attack the United States. That was the plan. And Stalin was also messing with the United States, messing with Truman, who sort of, you know, turned his back on him, right? At Potsdam. "And so, this idea, and the reason that the source is important... And unlike, you know, a lot of people, 'I saw this, I saw that, I learned that.' Was, according to the source, once it was determined that this was a hoax and that Stalin was able to get a craft over the United States, and it crashed. And it had, you know, people inside of it, they were people that were sort of deformed and meant...surgically altered to look like aliens. "The United States government decided that it needed to know what on earth that was all about, and if it was possible for us to have the same program. This, according to this source, right? And so, it sounds preposterous, and if it was just someone saying, 'I...,' you might say, 'Well, it's ridiculous, get them onto another subject.' But, the difference was, is this source, who was very well placed, and friends with all of the other 75 people, you know, told me this as a confession, right? A real, tearful confession, because what he said is he was involved in the American program to do the same thing. And people died, because there were human experiments that went on." "And I write about this in the last 12 pages of 'Area 51.' It was an explosive, you know, revelation, and I felt very confident in writing this because the source wanted it written. Why? Because he said, 'I'm dedicated to my country. I know about being committed to national security, and this kind of thing must never happen. And if you give people too much power, they will take advantage of it.' And he wanted it on the record. "And his wife of 60 years did not know until after the book published. Nor did His children, okay? So, after the book published, I was called to his house and sat there with his family. And they said, 'Tell us this isn't true.' And he said, 'It is true,' right? (We need a tape of this confession or...for his family to confirm they heard this from him.) AJ: "Now that source is Al O'Donnell, who is the nuclear-weapons engineer who armed, wired and fired 186 nuclear weapons, okay? So if you wanna talk about someone..." Lex: "Woooooow." AJ: "You're the first person I've told that on the record, but it's kind of about time." Lex: "Woooooow. Well, you received a lot of criticism over this story, and it confused me why, because it's...given the context of everything you've described with the CIA and other intelligence agencies, it is reasonable that such action would be taken. AJ: "And, the source is extraordinarily credible, right? If you wanted to take the position, 'Well, that person isn't very reliable,' then you have to ask yourself, 'Why did they have Top-Secret clearances that are higher than any in the United States whatsoever?' Because he was responsible for arming nuclear bombs. He was called the trigger man. "And by the way, he told me that I could tell the world who he was. There's a lot of details that are really dark, involving that program. And when is it appropriate, right? Well, it feels appropriate now. First of all, because you and I have been talking for several hours. So this is what is truly a long-form conversation and it's the outcome of, you know, a very long time of my reporting, and also being judicious about what, you know, closing the loop on that, right? Because I do think it's important for people to know that sources have revelations." Lex: "And, like you said, the programs, both on the Soviet side, and the American side, conflicting, I think's the term we used previously? Ethically, morally, on all fronts. People have done some horrible things in the name of security. In your book, 'Surprise, Kill Vanish,' you write about the CIA." ~~~ Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell: "So, today, I want to focus on a really important story that you once told me, that has never been told all the way [from the] beginning, to all the way to the end. And I just think it's just so cool we get to do this today. So, the question I want to ask is: After you got hooked on the UFO thing, with Bob Lazar, and you as a journalist said, 'I'm gonna start getting sources.' Like, 12 people coming at you, people shut down by the government. You can tell that. But you finally, finally got to a credible individual who had direct, firsthand knowledge about UFOs, exploitation, reverse engineering, and beings. And, oh my God, I want the world to hear this story. Tell us the story." George Knapp: "I've shared some of it in very broad strokes over the years- little bits and pieces of it - without ever actually referencing, in my statements, the guy the source. But this will be the first time I've told it in totality. "And it takes me back to when I first started in this. It's 1989 KLAS-TV, we put together, we spent eight months working on this project called 'UFOs: The Best Evidence.' Nine-part series. It airs on television, it's the biggest thing that's ever been produced for local TV, to this date, and still. "And, along the way, as I'm trying to find...telling the story about Bob Lazar, and his allegations about what was out there at S-4, near Area 51 - recovered discs, alien technology being reverse engineered - I'm looking for people who would support that. And I found about two dozen people, witnesses who had worked out there, who had seen bits and pieces, who could corroborate parts of what Bob had said about these kinds of craft being out there in the Nevada desert. But there wasn't anybody big picture who knew as much as Lazar claimed to have known, so I was still looking for them. "In 1990, I started working on a follow-up series to Best Evidence, looking for new witnesses. And I got a hint from an elected official that I had known, I'd covered him in Nevada politics. He says, 'You know, you should talk to my dad one of these days.' 'Your dad?' 'Yeah.' And he told me what the dad's name was and what he had done, what job he had had. And I said, 'Ah.' So I started stalking the guy. I just started showing up at events where I knew he would be. One of those events was a reunion for employees of EG&G." Corbell (JC): "So I'm assuming that this source was working within EG&G in some capacity, which is, by the way, who Bob [Lazar] said, hired him to go out to Site-4, S-4 at Area 51. So you're like, 'Okay, I can now find out if this is bullshit, or if there's an element of truth to it.' Do I have that right?" Knapp (GK): "Pretty much correct, yeah. So, I'm looking for someone whose credentials are impeccable. Unlike Bob, whose credentials were questioned, and people still attack him on where he went to school and where he worked, and was he at Los Alamos? This guy is documentable. There's a paper trail of where he worked, what he did. There's no question that he was in a position to know. He was the first general manager of EG&G in Nevada. His name was Al O'Donnell, and he has a prominent family. "When I heard that EG&G was having a reunion, I went there. We took a camera [and I figured], 'This is a great chance to get him on camera before I start asking him the questions I really want to ask.'" JC: "And when you say he is a general manager, like, does that give him certain roles and responsibilities that would give him insight? Like, he's not a secretary, so what does that mean?" GK: "He's the boss. He was the boss of the Nevada office. And I'll tell you a little bit about EG&G. So, it was a company that was created in Boston, right around the end of World War Two. Al O'Donnell had been in the Navy, serving during the war. He got out of the Navy while the war was still underway and went to work for a company called Raytheon, which became this massive, gigantic defense contractor that's still around today, still in Nevada in fact." JC: Yeah, they've got a big connection to the UFO topic, right? But, when you say Boston, like, where in Boston was it created?" GK: "Well, MIT is where the company was born. Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier were the three guys, the EG&G in that. They were at MIT. Scientists, engineers, they created this company there. And Al O'Donnell, who had been working for Raytheon, working on the Manhattan Project. He didn't know he was working on the Manhattan Project, but they were building these devices, complex triggers, that allowed them to detonate nuclear weapons. He learned later what he was doing was part of the Manhattan Project. "He goes to MIT, starts working with EG&G. Their company in those days had, I think, 15 employees, Al said. So it was a very small startup. But it suddenly exploded because the American atomic program exploded in those years. In 1950, Harry Truman decides that we need a permanent, nuclear testing site somewhere in the continental U.S., so they looked at a bunch of places, and they settled on Nevada. "Prior to that, Al O'Donnell had been sent out to the Pacific. They had five of these massive, atomic bomb tests out in the Pacific, and they decided to move it into a continental U.S. location and Nevada's Test Site - it was called the Nevada Test Site in those days - was chosen. Al O'Donnell leads the exodus from Boston, out to Nevada. They start hiring engineers and scientists, physicists and other security, spies." JC: "What are they working on at this time when they make that move?" GK: "Atomic bombs. They're building, testing atomic bombs. EG&G was a really precise organization that was created in order to detonate, measure and photograph atomic weapons. If you look in the history of photography, you'll see some of these amazing photos that they took of, you know, water drops dropping in water and...they're pretty famous shots because of these cameras that they developed. And it was perfect for use and testing atomic weapons and documenting what the process was. "So, EG&G comes out to Las Vegas, they are the managers of the Nevada Test Site. They, subsequently, years later, become the managers of Area 51 when it opens in 1955. So Al O'Donnell is the top guy. He oversees the nuclear testing program out there, manages it for EG&G, works with the Atomic Energy Commission. He has a Top-Secret security clearance and he can go anywhere and see anything. There's, basically, no restrictions, nothing that is outside of his ability to find out and see." JC: "So, this is an impeccable resume. This is somebody who was in position to know, and would know if someone like Bob Lazar was telling the truth or not telling the truth. I find it, personally, humorous that EG&G was, its genesis, its seed, came from MIT, right?" GK: "So, late 1990 or early 1991, I'd have to look up the dates. But somewhere in there is this event, this EG&G reunion. I go there, we got a camera, I interview Al O'Donnell, introduce myself, and say, 'Hey, I'm really interested in this, can we continue this conversation?' So he invites me to his home. He says, 'Come on over, we'll arrange to come over on a Saturday or something. We'll sit down, I'll go through my scrapbooks and show you some documents and memorabilia and photos from that era.' I was like, 'Great.' "So I go to his house and meet this wife. And we sit down, he opens up these big scrapbooks, and he starts showing me all the stuff that he had done. Photos that had been taken out in the proximity of these gigantic nuclear tests. They had great stories about the camaraderie that developed among the engineers and scientists. And he's going through all this stuff and showing me all this. And I love it, I loved every bit of it. I've never had a bad day at the Nevada Test Site, by the way. Every time I've gone out there to do a story, it's just a terrific way to spend some time." JC: "Secrets should be kept, secrets are kept, and you are a proponent of keeping secrets when it's that kind of thing." GK: "Sure, absolutely. And I respected the boundaries that they set up for us in doing these kinds of stories. So I did go out to the Nevada Test Site a lot over the next 40 years or so and put together a lot of different stories. And they knew of my interest in that area that's just outside what the Nevada Test Site, a place called Area 51. In 1955, Area 51 was, basically, created and EG&G got the contract to manage Area 51, and had kept it for the next 30, 35 years. So, whatever went on out there, they had an inside knowledge of what was going on." JC: "So, you meet this guy, Al O'Donnell, for the first time when he's at this public thing. You probably say something like, 'Your son told me to talk to you,' or something. Whatever. It ends up, he invites you to his home, and you're going through scrapbooks, and he's showing you all this atomic testing stuff that he was involved in. GK: "Yeah, and I'm telling him, 'Boy, this is really interesting. That's fascinating. I'd love to do a story on it.' And after we're there for maybe two hours, he closes this one big scrapbook and he goes, 'You're not here to talk about this, are ya?' I said, 'Well, not exactly.' He says, 'I know what you're here to talk about. I know what you want to ask about.' And right about that point, his wife walks in and she says, 'Don't start telling them that stuff! Don't even tell him!' And he kind of joked about it.' JC: "What were you there to talk about?" GK: "UFOs, UFOs. Area 51, Bob Lazar, crashed saucers, reverse engineering, to see if he had any knowledge of that, because I'd been led to believe that he did. So he closes that book and he says, 'We'll have we'll get together another time and we'll talk about it in private.' And over the course of the next two years or so, he and I would meet at coffee shops and talk about it. And I would ask him questions, and really, it was like pulling teeth. He wanted to tell me stuff but he made me work at it." (AJ says his family was there for the confession. Knapp has over two years of meetings with him. A bit confusing.) GK: "And the condition was, I couldn't take any notes. I couldn't record it, I couldn't take any notes. So each time I'd meet with him, I'd rush back to my car and start scribbling notes on pieces of paper so I'd remember everything that he said. And the story that he told me, that evolved over those couple of years was pretty fantastic. "He said that they did have a flying saucer that had been recovered from New Mexico. I think he indicated that it had been taken from New Mexico to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, which is... He never said Roswell, but I think it was the Roswell incident is what he [was] talking about. And it confirmed some of the details about what we know, likely, happened with the Roswell craft." JC: "When he's telling you, 'We have recovered a craft,' did he say it like, this is secret, don't tell anybody?" GK: "Yeah, it was just for my knowledge, my background and information. It wasn't a story I could do then. We were negotiating about how, or when, or if I could ever use that information or make it public. He told me the details about this craft. He said that it had been stored at Indian Springs. Indian Springs is an Air Force Base that's been there for a long time. It's now called Creech. Indian Springs existed before Area 51 was made. "But he says it was there, they kept it there. It might have been in an underground facility, I'm not quite sure. But then when Area 51, after it opened in 1955, they moved it to an adjacent facility. He didn't say it was S-4, he didn't say it was Papoose, but I think that's what he's talking about. Papoose Lake is where Bob Lazar said he worked, and where they had built nine hangars underground, disguised to look like the desert, and where they had other recovered craft. "He says they worked on this recovered craft, reverse engineering, trying to figure out how it worked, who built it. Whether or not they could duplicate the technology because, apparently, they thought this was pretty advanced, and they'd like to be able to build more of 'em. "And he says it was a very closed program, very small. It was only, I think, five of them that were aware of it, at least in the early stages, that were working on this project. And it was very hush hush, and they didn't share it with anybody else in the company, or anybody else in the area, or the military. They just kept it to themselves. "So, after we're having these meetings - and I go back and write down all these notes and stuff, details about what he had shared with me - we have another meeting at a coffee shop, and I said, 'Well gosh, you know, aren't you worried that it would get out, that the word would get out?' "And he says to me, 'We were worried It would get out?' That's right. 'I mean, what...it? What do you mean, it?' It. Meaning a live being, they had a live being out there. I go, 'You had a live being, an alien as well?' [O'Donnell said], 'Tell you the truth, we didn't know what it was.' I said, 'You know, maybe it came from millions of miles away, out in space, and you're keeping it in a cage near Area 51?' He said, 'To tell you the truth, we couldn't communicate with it in the beginning. We didn't know what it was, we didn't know where it was from, and we didn't know what to do with it.'" JC: "When Al O'Donnell says to you, 'We had a live alien, a being,' obviously from another world, what was your feeling?" GK: "Well, I was overwhelmed, because it was, in effect, confirmation of things that I had come to believe, because of the reporting we'd already done. And then the evidence of cover ups and lies that had been told to the public. Here's this guy in a high position, with a high security clearance, telling me that it was true. That they really did have a craft and they had a being. "My second feeling was, one of overwhelming sadness for the being, whatever it was, you know, that was kept out there. I asked him, you know, what had happened to it, what became of it? He says, 'I don't know. I don't know whatever happened to it.' But it was out there for a while, alive, and eventually they figured out a way to communicate with it. "And so I asked him, 'Well, what did it look like?' And he made me guess, as he did with all these questions. He made me guess. He said, 'Well, it kinda looks like a certain political candidate.' I said, 'Well, who? A political candidate? Who?' And at the time, Ross Perot was running for president. He said, 'It looks like Ross Perot. A little skinny guy with a big ears and tiny head.' Not a classic Gray-looking alien, but a very odd-looking creature with really big ears, that looked like Ross Perot. And I laughed. "And so we had these conversations for a while, and I was blown away by the information that he shared. I took all these notes. I was hoping that someday, I might be able to get the information out. And I asked him, 'Look, you're getting up there in age. If I can't record something with you, could you record a statement to the effect of telling me the story on camera, and then when you pass on, I can have the tape?' And he said, 'Yeah,' he would do it." JC: "You know, look, I've heard a lot of wild stories that I can't verify. A guy's telling you something, and you get a sense as a journalist, when you go down a road with somebody, and you take your time and you vet it... Did you feel...I mean, is there any world where he's trying to f*ck with ya? Or is there a world where he's trying to, you know, dissuade...kind of put crazy information into your brain? Like, how did you feel when he was telling you this? Was he like, straight with you?" GK: "Yeah, he was very straightforward. And again, this was not information he was giving up, willingly. I mean, I had to really dig and coax and arm twist to get him to cough things up. And it was very slow-going over about a two-year period, maybe a little bit longer. And I know that this...you always have to be wary of people with different agendas and people that just make stuff up. I didn't get that sense from him because of his standing in the community. He had shared this story with members of his own family." JC: "And that's why they came to you, is because they kind of [gave] you a tip. And these members of his family, they're serious people, too." GK: "Yeah. One of his sons is an FBI agent, or was, he's passed on now. One was an elected official in Nevada. That was the one that gave me the tip." JC: So, I just want to nail this [down] so I understand. You were approached because he had shared this with his family, privately, and then you had to kind of coax to get through to him about the story?" GK: "Right." JC: "I think that's important because look, these things don't happen, like, people [don't] just come to us and say, you know, crazy stuff, and we're like, 'Hh, yeah, cool. Sounds good.' Like, the dynamic of that, socially, as a journalist, like getting in there, taking time. You know, we have to verify if what he said is true, and there are some major bombs coming about that. But it's like, that process is so important. "So here you are, you're sitting with him, he tells you now, they have a live alien. And you felt sad because you're an animal-rights activist, you love animals. I know with your cats at home and you've done horse stories and all the stories about like, the inhumane stuff to animals. So it made you personally sad, makes me sad, too now thinking about it." GK: Yeah. Well, we had these series of meetings, and then the last time we met, after he'd agreed to go ahead and record a tape - and give it to me after making an arrangement so I got it after he passed on - he said that he had been told to not talk to me anymore. He said he had been given a warning [and] it was not a good idea for him to talk to me any more about anything. Not just that topic, but anything." JC: "Well, who knows that you're talking? Who would warn him?" GK: "I don't know. I don't know. But you recall, back in those days, there was surveillance. We had our phones tapped at KLAS-TV. There were guys following us around. Me, Bob Lazar, Gene Huff, maybe Robert Bigelow." JC: "People were also coming to your news station, OSI. And they would come in and try to like, get to you and then they'd show you their card...and take it back. And you know your phones are tapped. So it's like, because of this story, all of a sudden you're on high alert. So, anybody could have called him, been watching you, had meetings with the guy. So what you're saying is one day he just said, 'I can't...I'm not allowed to talk to you any more.'" GK: "Yeah, I've been told not to talk to you anymore. I've been told not to."

链上一直都有机会,只要保留本金,就总能抓住一次金狗。 $TST 让我回血了 3 万 U,感谢 CZ CZ 🔶 BNB 。 我是在 CZ 发推后 15 分钟左右高价买进的,买完后直接腰斩三倍,我也就没再看了。 昨晚 20 点,有人跟我说拉爆了,我当时心里想的是,TST 的筹码洗得很干净,拉爆只是一个信号,很多人会陆续跟风买。 于是我索性去看《哪吒》,结果电影看完,它又拉了一倍,于是我出了 2/3,这时本金和利润都出来了。 我的操作策略是永远不会全卖,PEPE 我吃了 10 倍,每次最多卖 2/3,最后卖的那次是因为上了 Coinbase,结果比前面卖的都要多。 上天真的眷顾我,第二天 TST 又翻了一倍。加密皇帝CZ 的影响力,可见一斑。 回想前几天,我每天都彻夜难眠,等待机会,脑海里时常会想起《马大帅》里跌入谷底的范德彪骑着三轮车,穿梭在大街小巷喊着那句:“换气喽。” 但是,哪有赌狗天天输,总会有一次翻身的机会,值得让你热泪盈眶,全力梭哈,不留遗憾。 这世上做穷人不光彩,我富过,也穷过, 但我每次都会选择做富人,因为至少有钱的时候,我就算面临困难,我也是坐在豪车后座,穿着2000美金的西装,戴着4万美金的金表。 如果有人觉得我肤浅,或者崇尚物质,那就去麦当劳工作吧,那才是你该去的地方,但在你离开这间满是赢家的房间之前。 我要你好好看看,你身边的人,因为在一个不远的未来,当你开着破破烂烂的普桑,停在红灯路口,而那个人将开着全新的保时捷,停在你的旁边,身边坐着胸怀四海的漂亮老婆。 而你旁边坐的是谁,三天没洗头,穿着无袖衫的恶心老母牛,车上还装满了从减价超市买来的菜,这就是坐你身边的人。 听我说,听好了, 你付不起信用卡账单了?太好了,继续枯坐等 ca; 你房东要把你扫地出门了?太好了,继续枯坐等 ca; 你女朋友觉得你是个废物?太好了,枯坐等 ca。 记住,用钱解决问题。今天唯一该做的,就是继续枯坐等 ca。链上机会永远存在,只要本金在,就一定有机会抓住金狗。 我想要让你用钱,解决一切问题,你们今天所要做的,就是一直枯坐等ca,链上一直有机会,只要保留本金,就总能抓住一次金狗。。。 年过完了,我要一边枯坐,一边撸毛,计划用半年的时间把亏损的钱全部赚回来,我也要买一辆保时捷。 新年第一个毛,我要撸 Story Protocol。 Story 社区氛围浓厚,热度在 RootData | We're Hiring 也蛮高的,并在 @_kaitoai 的 24 小时榜单中排名第二。官方还宣布将为 @_kaitoai 用户提供奖励,一鱼两吃了属于是。 Story Protocol 获得了 1.4 亿美元融资,投资方包括 a16z、Polychain、Hashed、DAO5 等知名机构。Story Protocol 通过去中心化节点网络构建了一个开放、可编程的市场,使创意资产能够全球化流通。 Story 代币 $IP 已在 #bybit 开放盘前合约交易,当前价格约为 $2.9,预计后续将在更多中心化交易所上线。 白皮书地址: 代币分配概览 生态与社区 (38.4%):支持开发者、社区激励及生态建设,推动长期发展。 初始激励 (10%):专门分配给真实用户,避免奖励流向机器人或恶意套利者。 基金会 (10%):用于平台运营、基础设施建设及长期发展。 早期支持者 (21.6%):回报投资人及顾问,提供必要的资金支持。 核心贡献者 (20%):分配给团队成员,以确保其长期投入和激励。 Story 还推出 Odyssey 测试网,用于筛选真实用户,减少非自然增长带来的负面影响。 如果能有效执行这一策略,并持续吸引高质量参与者,Story 在行业内很有可能会占据一席之地。 Opportunities always exist on-chain. As long as you preserve your capital, you’ll eventually catch a golden run. $TST brought me back 30K USDT. Thanks, CZ CZ 🔶 BNB. I bought in at a high price about 15 minutes after CZ’s tweet, only to watch it drop 3x immediately. I stopped looking at it after that. At around 8 PM last night, someone told me it had pumped hard. My first thought? TST’s supply had been cleaned up—this pump was just a signal. More people would follow. So, I went to watch Nezha, and by the time the movie was over, it had doubled again. I sold 2/3—both my initial investment and profit were secured. I never sell everything at once. With PEPE, I made a 10x return, selling at most 2/3 each time. My final sale happened after it got listed on Coinbase—and ironically, I made more on that last sale than all the previous ones combined. The gods were on my side. The next day, TST doubled again. This is the power of the crypto emperor CZ 🔶 BNB. Every Gambler Gets Their Day A few days ago, I was losing sleep every night, waiting for an opportunity. Ma Dashuai kept replaying in my head—the scene where Fan Debiao, down and out, rides his tricycle through the streets yelling: “Fresh air!” But no gambler loses every time. There will always be that one golden opportunity that makes you tear up, go all in, and leave no regrets. Being poor isn’t glorious. I’ve been rich, I’ve been broke. But every time, I choose to be rich—because even when facing difficulties, I’d rather sit in the backseat of a luxury car, wearing a $2,000 suit and a $40,000 gold watch. If you think I’m shallow or materialistic, go work at McDonald’s—that’s where you belong. But before you walk out of this room full of winners, take a good look around. Because in the not-so-distant future, when you pull up at a red light in your beat-up Volkswagen Santana, the guy next to you will be sitting in a brand-new Porsche, with a stunning, ambitious woman by his side. And who's sitting next to you? A greasy-haired, sleeveless-wearing disaster of a woman who hasn’t showered in three days, clutching bags of discounted groceries from the clearance aisle. Listen up. Can’t pay your credit card bills? Perfect—keep waiting for ca. Your landlord’s about to kick you out? Perfect—keep waiting for ca. Your girlfriend thinks you’re a useless loser? Perfect—keep waiting for ca. Remember, money solves everything. The only thing you need to do today is keep waiting for ca. On-chain opportunities are always there. As long as you have capital, you’ll eventually catch a golden run. Back to Grinding The new year is over. I’ll sit tight, farm incentives, and give myself six months to recover all my losses. I’m buying that Porsche. First farm of the year: Story Protocol. The community is buzzing, RootData | We're Hiring is tracking its heat, and it’s ranked #2 on @_kaitoai's 24-hour leaderboard. Plus, the project just announced rewards for @_kaitoai users—double the action. Story Protocol has secured $140 million in funding, backed by a16z, Polychain, Hashed, DAO5, and other top investors. It’s building a decentralized, open, and programmable marketplace for global creative assets. Story’s token $IP is already trading pre-market on #bybit, currently at $2.9, and will soon hit major CEXs. Whitepaper: Token Distribution Ecosystem & Community (38.4%): Supports developers, community incentives, and ecosystem growth. Initial Incentives (10%): Rewards real contributors, preventing bots and airdrop farmers from draining the system. Foundation (10%): Funds operations, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability. Early Supporters (21.6%): Allocated to investors and advisors for backing the project’s launch. Core Contributors (20%): Distributed to the team to align long-term incentives. Story has also launched Odyssey Testnet, designed to filter out bots and ensure real users benefit. If executed well, this strategy could give Story a strong foothold in the industry.

嗨,每一位Neiro兄弟姐妹们。 中文社区核心成员joe,也是我们的raid leader,他居住在马来西亚柔佛州。 十二天前,我叮嘱joe主动去寻找马来西亚的大型流浪狗收容所。 当时我的想法是新加坡Token2049要召开了,这是加密货币行业里比较有影响力的会议,我们需要在会议期间展示Neiro的社区文化和全球共识。 最终,通过joe不懈的努力,他找到“HOPE 希望护生园”。 善良的佳佳阿姨在2008年4月创建了收容所,佳佳阿姨和很多义工仅仅凭借一颗善良的心和怜悯苦难动物的愿力,在交织着各种困难的局面下,他们坚持运营了16年。 如今,“HOPE 希望护生园”收养这2000多只流浪狗和100多只遗弃猫。通过joe的深度沟通和实地考察,发现他们非常迫切的需要来自Neiro的爱。 大家都知道,近一周以来,我们创造了全行业的奇迹,我们的国库为了大型CEX 做市消耗的很快,因此我个人在中文社区发起了这次捐赠,没有动用国库资金。 社区成员累计捐赠了1286美元,由我个人支付3764美元。昨天,joe自己一个人驱车600公里,代表社区做出了5000美元的捐赠。 这些资金购买了100包大米、87包狗粮、75箱猫狗罐头、30桶洗发水,以及6280元人民币的现金。这些物资将极大的改善狗狗和猫咪的生活质量,并且能确保收容所日常运营更加有效率。 当你们看到这些视频的时候,这些可怜的小动物正在因为社区的善举而享受更美好的生活。 我在看视频的时候,忍不住默默流泪,同时内心生出无穷的力量,希望你们也收到和我一样的感受。 在这个只追求利益的空间里,从来没有一个社区像Neiro一样,将公共慈善作为社区使命一直践行。 最难能可贵的是,每一笔慈善资金都来自于全体社区成员不求回报的慷慨捐赠,我坚定地认为,我们是独一无二的完全社区驱动的去中心化的伟大社区。 感激joe为社区的成长不辞辛劳,感激佳佳阿姨在150000粉丝的官方facebook账户深情表达了对Neiro社区的赞赏。 Neiro因爱而生,世界也会因为我们的存在而变得更美好。 我们坚持一件事情,并不是因为这样做了会有效果,而是坚信,这样做是对的。 Hi every brothers and sisters. Chinese community core member joe Jo , who is also our raid leader, lives in Johor, Malaysia. Twelve days ago, I instructed joe to take the initiative to look for large stray dog shelters in Malaysia. At that time, my idea was that Singapore Token2049 was going to be held, which is a more influential conference in the cryptocurrency industry, and we needed to showcase Neiro's community culture and global consensus during the conference. Eventually, through joe's tireless efforts, he found “HOPE Nursery”. The kind-hearted Auntie Jiajia founded the shelter in April 2008, and Auntie Jiajia and many other volunteers have continued to run the shelter for 16 years with just a kind heart and a willingness to have compassion for the suffering animals, in spite of all the difficulties they have faced. Today, “HOPE” has adopted more than 2,000 stray dogs and 100 abandoned cats. Through joe's in-depth communication and site visits, we found that they are in desperate need of love from Neiro. As you all know, in the past week, we have made a miracle in the whole industry, and our national treasury has been depleted very fast for the large-scale CEX market making, so I personally initiated this donation in the Chinese community without using the national treasury funds. Community members donated a total of $1,286, and I personally paid $3,764. Yesterday, joe drove 600 kilometers by himself and made a donation of $5,000 on behalf of the community. These funds purchased 100 packages of rice, 87 packages of dog food, 75 cases of canned food for dogs and cats, 30 buckets of shampoo, and 6,280 RMB in cash. These supplies will greatly improve the quality of life for the dogs and cats and will ensure that the shelter operates more efficiently on a daily basis. As you watch these videos, these poor little creatures are enjoying a better life because of the community's good works. I couldn't help but shed a silent tear while watching the videos, and at the same time, an endless amount of strength was born within me, so I hope you receive the same feelings I did. In a space where profit is all that matters, there has never been a community like Neiro that has always practiced public charity as a community mission. What's most remarkable is that every philanthropic dollar comes from the generous donations of all community members who don't ask for anything in return, and I firmly believe that we are uniquely and completely community-driven, decentralized, and great community. Grateful to joe for working tirelessly to grow the community, and to Auntie Jia Jia for expressing her deep appreciation for the Neiro community on her official facebook account of 150,000 fans. Neiro was born out of love and the world is a better place because of us. We stick to something, not because it will work, but with the conviction that it is the right thing to do.

Here’s the part where Zhipu’s CEO talks about AI in 2027 reaching a potential dawn for AGI. Chinese and English transcript: Xiaojun: 包括大语言模型、图像模型和世界模型,需要把它们统一到一个更大的模型中,你认可他这个观点吗?他跟我们刚才说的是一个事对吧? Including large language models, image models, and world models, they need to be unified into a larger model. Do you agree with his view? This is the same thing we were just talking about, right? Zhang Peng: 其实说的是一件事情。就不同模态和你不同的任务,怎么把它真正找到一个统一的这个建模的方式,原生地把它融合到一起,而不是用系统化的方法。 It's actually talking about the same thing. For different modalities and different tasks, how to truly find a unified modeling method to natively integrate them together, rather than using a systemic approach. Xiaojun: 如果这个实现了会是AGI吗? If this is realized, will it be AGI? Zhang Peng: 我觉得AGI就看到曙光了应该。再加上刚才我说的那个在线学习,可能它就真的看到曙光。你可以想象这样嘛,首先第一,你造出来一个脑子,这个脑子呢,其实各种能力都有,语言能力、对图像的理解能力,然后对物理世界的这种判断能力、识别能力都有。然后再给它装上手脚,它能去叫世界模型去解决这个个问题嘛,它能去预测这个世界有发生什么事情,然后再跟世界进行交互。然后呢,交互的结果再反馈回来,变成一个强化的信号,然后我又立刻地、马上地接受这个强化学习的信号再学习,修改我的模型。这样闭环起来。那这样的话可能就是那个谁说的,Demis,对,你要选择让人工智能在什么范围什么什么时候开始授权,让它自己去探索这个世界。那个时候可能就近了。 I think we would see the dawn of AGI. Plus the online learning I just mentioned, maybe we would truly see the dawn. You can imagine it like this: first, you build a brain. This brain actually has all kinds of capabilities—language ability, image understanding ability, and the ability to judge and recognize the physical world. Then you equip it with hands and feet so it can call upon the world model to solve problems, predict what will happen in the world, and interact with the world. Then, the results of that interaction are fed back as a reinforcement signal. Then I immediately receive this reinforcement learning signal, learn again, and modify my model. This forms a closed loop. If that happens, it might be like what Demis said, yes, you have to choose in what scope and at what time to start authorizing artificial intelligence to explore the world on its own. At that point, it might be close. Xiaojun: 这你觉得还有多远啊? How far away do you think this is? Zhang Peng: 我其实也说不好有多远。好像我看了好几种说法。一个是说的,可能2027年要开始有这个能力,达到我刚才说的那个状态,然后剩下就是等待,看它自己去学,学到什么程度,能不能学到比如说超过人或者什么之类,接近人或者超过人。接近人和超过人其实就是我们说的基本上AGI的这个目标就到了嘛。那就2027年到现在还有两年时间,然后2027年之后,可能还需要花几年时间去调整这个效率啊或者是学习的这个成果怎么安全啊等等这些事情。可能我理性地判断这件事情可能需要比如说五年、八年这样的时间。 I can't really say for sure how far it is. I seem to have seen several different predictions. One says that maybe by 2027 it will start to have this capability, reaching the state I just described, and the rest is just waiting, letting it learn on its own to see to what extent it can learn—whether it can, for example, surpass humans or something similar, approach humans or surpass humans. Approaching and surpassing humans basically means the goal of AGI has been reached. So from now to 2027 is two years, and then after 2027, it might take a few more years to adjust efficiency, ensure the safety of what it has learned, and so on. My rational judgment is that this process might take, say, five or eight years. Xiaojun: 你们都会跟进吗?如果这个是AGI的正确方向? Will you follow this path? If this is the right direction for AGI? Zhang Peng: 一定会。我们永远不会忘记我们的目标就是AGI。 Absolutely. We will never forget that our goal is AGI.

巴黎奥运会男子100米自由泳决赛,中国选手潘展乐打破世界纪录,并以46秒40加领先一个身位的巨大优势夺得冠军。 然而,澳大利亚游泳名将查尔莫斯的教练布雷特(Brett Hawke)在赛后却破了大防,发视频质疑潘展乐。他说他对这场游泳比赛感到很生气,表示自己研究三十年竞速游泳,“人类在这个项目是不可能赢一个身位的。”还称“如果看起来优秀得不像真的,那很可能就是假的。” 这条视频发出后,评论区的网友则开始回怼他,“只是嫉妒罢了”“如果潘展乐是美国运动员,那你的发言将完全不同,你会称赞他是多么的了不起。” 潘展乐曾在夺冠后的新闻发布会提到尿检对他没有影响,“去年我接受了29次检查,没有一次阳性。包括今年从我们冠军赛就是5月份到7月份也是有21次检查,也没有一次阳性。” 他还总结了自己是如何能够一次次刷新这个项目的世界纪录,“我从杭州亚运会开始就是这个战术,前程冲后程顶……我们日常的训练对我来说就是,速度练得比较少,就是有氧练得比较多,因为我还是要靠后程,然后也是会有专门的科研团队研究我们每一帧水下的技术。” 中国选手张雨霏在自己200蝶夺铜的发布会上坚定地表示,潘展乐的成绩没有任何问题,而且还是在不断进行兴奋剂检测的情况下游出来的,“并且在参加巴黎奥运会之前,潘展乐和我们其他队友一样,不断接受兴奋剂检测,具体多少次数我不得而知,但我知道他在入村这一周都没有断过兴奋剂检测。”“为什么中国运动员游这么快的时候要被质疑,那在此之前菲尔普斯拿到七块金牌、八块金牌的时候为什么没有人敢去质疑他,莱德基从2012年到2024年称霸了这么多年的长距离,而且每届都有金牌入账,为什么没有人去质疑她呢。”In the men's 100m freestyle final of the Paris Olympics, Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle broke the world record and won the championship with a significant lead of one body length, clocking in at 46.40 seconds. However, Brett Hawke, the coach of Australian swimming star Kyle Chalmers, lost his composure after the race and posted a video questioning Pan's achievement. He expressed his anger towards the swimming event, stating that he has been studying competitive swimming for three decades and "it is impossible for humans to win by a body length in this event." He further claimed, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is." Following the video's release, netizens in the comments section retaliated, accusing Hawke of "mere jealousy" and suggesting, "If Pan was an American athlete, your comments would be entirely different. You would be praising how remarkable he is." During the post-victory press conference, Pan Zhanle addressed the issue of doping tests, stating that they had no impact on his performance. "Last year, I underwent 29 tests, none of which came back positive. From May to July this year, during our national championships, I had another 21 tests, and all were negative." He also elaborated on how he managed to repeatedly shatter the world record in this event. "I've been using this tactic since the Hangzhou Asian Games, where I push hard at the start and hold on in the latter stages... Our daily training focuses more on aerobic exercises than speed training, as I rely on my endurance in the latter half. We also have a dedicated research team analyzing every frame of our underwater techniques." Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei, who won a bronze medal in the 200m butterfly event, firmly defended Pan Zhanle's achievement, emphasizing that it was achieved under constant doping tests. "Before the Paris Olympics, Pan and our other teammates underwent numerous doping tests without interruption, including throughout the week leading up to the Village entry. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I know he hasn't missed a single test during that period." She added, "Why do Chinese athletes face scrutiny when they swim fast? Why weren't people questioning Michael Phelps when he won seven or eight gold medals? Or Katie Ledecky, who has dominated long-distance swimming from 2012 to 2024, winning gold medals at every Olympics? No one questioned her achievements."

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Dr Mike Yeadon's Austrian Testimony Please watch and share - 15 Mins --------------------------------------- My name is Dr. Mike Yeadon and in the next 10 to 15 minutes I'm going to focus on one major point which is that the purported "vaccines" against this alleged illness, COVID-19 were in my view deliberately designed intentionally to injure, kill and, and reduce fertility. Now this is an allegation I've been making for around three and a half years. In that time, if I was wrong, ladies and gentlemen, I think numerous scientists would have rebutted what I've said in writing and in video. And if I was wrong, I would have expected the drug companies whose products I am maligning to have sought and secured a court injunction to stop me repeating these allegations. Neither of those things have ever happened. What has happened instead is that I have been extraordinarily censored and smeared sideways. And I think I offer that to you as strong evidence that I may be "over the target", at least in relation to these injectable products that have definitely injured and killed many people. So first just brief few words of introduction in terms of credentials. So Mike Yeadon, I've been a professional research scientist for over 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry and in biotech. My first degree was in biochemistry and toxicology. It was a joint honours degree. I got a first, then I did a second degree, a PhD. It's a research based piece of work lasting three years and my focus was respiratory pharmacology, the study of impact of drugs on respiration and so on. And that led into my career where I became a senior research scientist responsible for new drugs to treat allergic, respiratory and later dermatology diseases. I was at one point Vice President and the most senior research person within Pfizer Global R&D, and I left in 2011. And for 10 years after that, seven of those I was founder and CEO of a biotech called ZIARCO which was acquired by Novartis in 2017, since when I've been a consultant although I've discontinued those activities in the last four and a half years or so. So I've not earned a penny from speaking out in the last four and a half years and I don't want to either. There is a longer video by me recorded a month or so ago, 22 minutes long and it's called Silver Bullet and it's on my telegram channel and I hope rather more widely. But today I'm just going to focus on the design and effects of these so called vaccines. So I've been involved all of my professional life with other talented people trying to design and test potential new treatments for respiratory disease and as I say later on dermatology applications. So I can tell you that this, with my background in toxicology and my own research experience, 30 years in the industry, this qualifies me, I think better than any other commentator to evaluate what was in the minds of the people who designed these products. Let me tell you that every component in a medicine is chosen. It's chosen to be there. It's not random. It's chosen to be there to achieve some purpose, that's normal, perhaps to help a drug dissolve, to be absorbed, to persist in your blood, or to leave your body quickly to penetrate the brain if it was a neurological drug, or to stay close to the lung if it was an inhaled drug. So it's quite normal to make choices with objectives in mind. So I believe the intentions of the designers are written into the choices they made, the structures and components, formulation of these products. So I'm going to use those skills, as it were, to back calculate what was in their mind, what objectives did they have when they chose these structures and formulations. So I'm going to just say, before I get into that, just one thing about these so called "vaccines". My experience of the industry over 30 years tells me it is formally impossible to invent, research, test, evaluate, manufacture, gain authorization for, and launch a complex new biological product in under a year. It's formally impossible. I don't care how much money and people you put on it, there are a series of linear steps which when taken together, unless you miss some out, cannot be completed under several years. So if someone told you they had brought a brand new airline to market with new engines in under a year, I think you would know it's formally impossible to do a clean sheet design, to stress test, to manufacture, to test, to flight test, optimise the engines and get regulatory clearance and be ready to take you across the Atlantic in under a year. And of course it's never been done and it's never been done with complex biological products in under a year. So whatever else they did, they didn't do what they said because it cannot be done in under a year. Secondly, and I'll come to the examples in a moment, there are in these products numerous features which in my view, my peers, people like me, people with my training and experience would know for sure would give rise to the toxicities that I pointed out in 2020. They're not, they don't require particular skills you need to know how to do drug discovery and what can go wrong. But I'm not acting like a complete genius in spotting these, just someone who is a professional from this industry that has pointed out numerous features built in by choice that I believe I think they obviously confer toxicology, toxicity to the recipients. And as I've said, people designing these, people like me in wherever they were, pharmaceutical industries or the military, knew these things were going to happen. And that's why I say it's intentional. I'm going to give you three examples that you can go and test. So the first one is these are so called gene based products, that is they've got a string of genetic information in them. Now there aren't any products like that that are in routine use anywhere in the world. So they're brand new technology. But what you'll remember they told you that they do is they cause your body to make as a protein whatever was in that genetic code. Now it's absolutely basic immunology. How is it, do you think your body knows that what's inside of you is meant to be there and you don't attack it? And yet if something gets into your body from the outside or a tumour form, something that shouldn't be in you, your body can recognise that that's foreign or non-self and can attack it. And the answer is you tolerate everything that's meant to be inside your body. When you're in your mum's womb, we, we ruled out the ability to attack ourselves. Unless you get an autoimmune disease in later life, you play nice with yourself until something gets inside you or something goes wrong inside you. So ladies and gentlemen, if you are injected with a genetic sequence that causes you to manufacture a foreign protein, whether it's a virus or something out of a computer, it's not you and it's not meant to be in you, I assure you, your body recognises that it's been invaded, something's in there that shouldn't be and it launch a fatal attack on every cell that it thinks has gone wrong. It's trying to save you. So and that autoimmune reaction that destruction which your body is trying to, is doing because it's trying to protect you, that will happen anywhere in your body, any cell, tissue, organ in your body where unluckily your dose of what was injected into you lands. So if it lands in your heart, you could get myocarditis or a heart attack. If it lands in your brain, you could get a stroke or neurological conditions. If it's in your eyes, you could go blind. If it's in your ovaries, it may sterilise you. But that explains, in my view, a lot of the enormously diverse toxicity that's been seen with these products. So that's one, your body is being made to manufacture something that does not belong in it. And when that happens, everybody with the first lecture of immunology will understand why that happens. It's not an accident, it's in the design. It's a deliberate choice. The second one, then what was encoded in the so called "vaccines", now we're told it's spike protein. I don't think there is a natural spike protein, but proteins with sequences like that are known to be acutely toxic to blood cells, prompting blood clots to nerve cells, causing them to malfunction and probably other things I don't know anything about. So that's the second thing your body was making, was forced to make not only a foreign protein, something that didn't belong in your body, you were, your body was forced to make something that was directly toxic to your body. And the person who chose that sequence knew that's what the property of it was. It's not an accident, it's intentional. Then the third one is absolutely shocking. It's normal for drugs to be formulated that is to be wrapped in something. You'll see them in capsules or tablets. They might have a coating. If it's an inhaler, there might be some liquid with it so it can be propelled. In the case of these injectables, they were wrapped in really fatty globules called lipid nanoparticles, which means tiny little particles of fat. Lipid nanoparticles. Ladies and gentlemen, there were papers published as early as 2012, which I read a couple of years ago, that said that it is well understood in the industry by formulators that the payload that's contained within lipid nanoparticles when injected into animals and people leads to a disproportionate deposition of the payload into your ovaries. I remember the day I read that paper, I really couldn't sleep. The person who chose to use lipid nanoparticles to formulate the Moderna and Pfizer products knew perfectly well that what they would do is allow them to drift all through your body, through membranes as if they weren't there, and disproportionately deposit in your ovaries. And given I've told you the first two things, which is that will induce your body to attack every cell in the body that follows the instructions. And that instruction by the way, is to make a poison, you should no longer be surprised that people have been injured and killed and had their fertility reduced. I wish I didn't have to communicate this information. But there is no possibility that the people involved in designing these products did not know that they would have the effects that I predicted and that so many people have actually experienced it is intentional. There is ample evidence that this assault, which is not the only thing that's ever happened, unfortunately it's the first I noticed. I was a so called normie until 2020. I believe everything I was told. But this is part of a long planned assault by powerful wealthy people operating above the level of nation. So I'm afraid organisations like the United Nations, the World Health Organisation, the Bank for International Settlements, the World Economic Forum are populated by the people who I believe have orchestrated this attack on humanity and they're going to do it again. There are factories all around the world busy manufacturing these so called "vaccines" and formulating them in the way I just described. And they're going to come up with contrived reasons why you need to roll your sleeve up and I'm telling you, for the love of God, please don't do it. The only way we will push these people away is by speaking out as we see it and simply refusing to follow absurd instructions no matter what ostensible reason they come up with for you to do that.. So I mentioned I have been subject to astonishing censorship and smearing. And that's true. I've always said, if you hear me, please repeat what I have said to other people. I've got a tiny reach because I'm censored and no one else is coming to save us. It's just a small number of us who are not willing to stay quiet while this is done to us. But it's part of a wider deception. The pandemic lie is a major one. I don't have time to go into it now, but see my other recording. But there wasn't a pandemic. There's never been a pandemic. They can't happen. It's a lie. The so called human induced climate change crisis, that's all a lie as well. It's the same people who put this together at the end of the 1960s, the Club of Rome, they chose these two topics of infectious disease and climate change to scare people because they realised it would force a response from above the level of nation. But I'm saying, stand on your own feet and tell them to get lost with their absurd lies. And there's a third lie which underlies these, and it's they believe. They tell us we've been told all our lives, that the world is overpopulated. And it's literally absurd if you're up in an aeroplane within a few minutes, even over a busy city, the place is just full of cities and forests and fields. So that's yet another lie. But I think that's what's driving them. They think there's too many of us little people, and they seek to control us digitally and then eventually inject us to death. Its only going to be stopped then by refusal to cooperate. And that's my testimony. I hope that was helpful to.

So Jefferson Morley says that "the evidence does not support the notion that Lee Harvey Oswald killed the president." Jeff relies on the eyewitness account of one of the Parkland doctors who treated JFK at Dallas, Bob McClelland. And he says I failed in Case Closed to challenge Dr. McClelland's credibility. Below is an excerpt from CASE CLOSED, Chapter 13, “He Had A Death Look: Parkland and Bethesda." Read it and decide for yourselves what you believe. And check my source notes, almost all based on my own interviews in 1992 with the chief attending Parkland doctors. It is their judgment of Dr. McClelland's account that is critically important. “However, some of the Parkland doctors who treated the President described a gaping wound in the rear of JFK’s head (the occipital region), not the right side (the parietal). If true, this not only contradicted the findings of the autopsy team but was evidence that the President was probably shot from the front, with a large exit hole in the rear of the head. Several Parkland doctors also thought they saw cerebellum, tissue from the base of the brain, on the stretcher or in the operating room. Yet, the autopsy photos of the brain show the cerebellum intact. If the Parkland descriptions of the cerebellum were true, this raised legitimate questions over the authenticity of the photographs of JFK’s brain, which showed no such damage. Robert Groden and Harrison Livingstone, in their book High Treason, devote more than thirty pages to highlighting this conflict between the Parkland and Bethesda descriptions of the head wound. However, it is questionable to rely on the Parkland doctors for any assertion about the head wound since, by their own admission, they did not examine it in detail. When Dr. Kemp Clark looked at the wound to determine whether the President could be revived, it was the first time it had been examined. “From what I read in later books, everyone looked at it in detail from the beginning, but that is not true,” recalls Dr. Jenkins. “We were trying to save the President, and no one had time to examine the wounds. As for the head wound, they couldn’t look at it earlier because I was standing with my body against it, and they would only have looked at my pants.”83 “We never had the opportunity to review his wounds,” Dr. Carrico told the author, “in order to describe them accurately. We were trying to save his life.”84 Dr. Adolph Giesecke agrees: “We had no time to examine the wounds. That was to be done by a forensic pathologist, not by us.”85 “I don’t think any of us got a good look at the head wound,” confirms Dr. Perry. “I didn’t examine it or really look at it that carefully.”86 “And when we realized he was dead,” Dr. Baxter recalls, “none of us had the heart to go and examine the head wound while Mrs. Kennedy was in the room. We all just made our way out of the room.”87 “When things were over with,” Dr. Jones says, “you felt it was her time and you should get out of there and let her be alone with him.”88 Dr. Baden of the Select Committee concurs: “Parkland was not concerned with whether the bullet was going from front to back or vice versa, they were only treating the symptoms, not the wounds. Some of them could be good surgeons but lousy pathologists. A third of the time, an autopsy shows something was missed by the treating doctors at the hospital. In unnatural deaths, it is common for the treating physicians to mix up stab wounds and gun shots, and they are wrong half the time about exit or entrance. The Parkland doctors did not clean Kennedy off—there is just no way they could have hazarded a real guess about that wound, since it was covered with blood and tissue. If they say they saw cerebellum, they are just wrong because the cerebellum was perfect. And if they say there was a large hole in the rear of the head, they don’t know what they are talking about since there is nothing there but the entry injury in the rear cowlick. The mistakes in judgments from Parkland are exactly why we have autopsies. “One of the most important aspects of the Zapruder film, often overlooked by the critics, are the frames immediately after the President was shot in the head. It’s very clear on the enhanced frames that there is a wound over the right ear, but the back of the head is clean. That film is incontrovertible evidence that there was no defect on the rear of the head.”89 Yet mistaken descriptions of what the Parkland doctors did and saw continue to be published. High Treason asserts that some doctors examined the wound with a flashlight and that Dr. Jenkins picked the head up from the stretcher to show other doctors the extent of the rear wound.90 The eight principal doctors who attended to JFK on that day all told the author that such reports were false. Moreover, Groden and Livingstone cite early interviews and some testimony before the Warren Commission to support their hypothesis that the Parkland doctors saw a different head wound than the one described at Bethesda.* Yet the Parkland physicians, in their discussions with the author, were almost unanimous in supporting the autopsy findings that the massive exit wound was on the right side (parietal) of the President’s head, not the rear (occipital), and that there was no sign of damaged cerebellum tissue. They insisted that the explainable differences in the wound descriptions between them and the Bethesda doctors have been exploited by conspiracy writers, who created a controversy where none exists. Some admitted that their early statements about the wounds, which they now consider to be mistaken, may have contributed to the confusion. Dr. Bill Midgett, who helped wheel the President from the limousine into trauma room one, says, “The President had quite thick hair, and there was a lot of blood and tissue. All of us were so shocked … and to have Mrs. Kennedy there—none of us stared very closely to see the wound. But it was more parietal than occipital—that much I could see. I did not turn the President over to look, but there was no cerebellum in that car or on the people.” “We did say there was a parietal-occipital wound,” recalls Dr. Carrico. “We did say we saw shattered brain, cerebellum, in the cortex area, and I think we were mistaken. The reason I say that is that the President was lying on his back and shoulders, and you could see the hole, with scalp and brain tissue hanging back down his head, and it covered most of the occipital portion of his head. We saw a large hole on the right side of his head. I don’t believe we saw any occipital bone. It was not there. It was parietal bone. And if we said otherwise, we were mistaken.”91 Dr. Giesecke also admits an error in his original testimony when he described the wound as more occipital. “I guess I have to say that I was wrong in my Warren Commission testimony on the wound and in some of my pronouncements since then. I just never got that good of a look at it. But, for instance, Lifton spent six hours with me trying to get me to say the wounds were like he wanted them. The truth is there was a massive head wound, with brain tissue and blood around it. And with that type of wound you could not get accurate information unless you feel around inside the hole and look into it in detail, and I certainly didn’t do that, nor did I see anyone else do that.”92 Dr. Peters had said that the cerebellum was damaged. “I saw the photograph of the brain when I was in Washington for the Nova program, and I saw the cerebellum was depressed, but it was not lacerated or torn. It is definitely pressed down and that would be the damage I referred to in 1964.… The only thing I would say is that over the last twenty-eight years I now believe the head wound is more forward than I first placed it. More to the side than the rear. I tried to tell Lifton where the wound was, but he did not want to hear.” Dr. Jenkins’s original report also stated he saw cerebellum. “The description of the cerebellum was my fault,” he says. “When I read my report over, I realized there could not be any cerebellum. The autopsy photo, with the rear of the head intact and a protrusion in the parietal region, is the way I remember it. I never did say occipital.”93* “I did not really look at it that closely,” says Dr. Perry. “But like everyone else, I saw it back there. It was in the occipital/ parietal area. The occipital and parietal bone join each other, so we are only talking a centimeter or so in difference. And you must remember the President had a lot of hair, and it was bloody and matted, and it was difficult to tell where that wound started or finished. I did not see any cerebellum.”94 Dr. Baxter agrees that it was difficult to determine the precise location of the wound when treating the President: “He had such a bushy head of hair, and blood and all in it, you couldn’t tell what was wound versus dried blood or dangling tissue. I have been misquoted enough on this, some saying I claimed the whole back of his head was blown away. That’s just wrong. I never even saw the back of his head. The wound was on the right side, not the back.”95 Dr. Jones makes the same observation, saying he did not even know there was a head wound for several minutes, and then finally realized it was a “large side wound, with blood and tissue that extended toward the rear, from what you could tell of the mess that was there.”96 Dr. Giesecke agrees “that the occipital and parietal region are so close together it is possible to mistake one for the other.”97 The only Parkland doctors who still believe they saw a wound in the rear of the head, as well as seeing cerebellum, are Robert McClelland and Charles Crenshaw. “I saw a piece of cerebellum fall out on the stretcher,” says McClelland, who claims he was in the best position of any of the doctors to view the head wound.98 He drew a sketch in 1967 for Josiah Thompson’s book Six Seconds in Dallas, which showed a gaping wound in the rear of the head.99 “I am astonished that Bob would say that,” says Dr. Malcolm Perry. “It shows such poor judgment, and usually he has such good judgment.”100 “I don’t think Bob McClelland was in the best place to see the head wound,” says Dr. Peters. “He wasn’t in that position the way I remember it, as he was on the other side of the table. As for Dr. McClelland saying he saw cerebellum fall out on the table, I never saw anything like that.”101 “Bob is an excellent surgeon,” says Dr. Jenkins. “He knows anatomy. I hate to say Bob is mistaken, but that is clearly not right. In 1988, when I went to the National Archives, the photos showed the President’s brain was crenelated from the trauma, and it resembled cerebellum, but it was not cerebellar tissue. I think it has thrown off a lot of people that saw it. I guess a last point is that Bob and Groden [co-author of High Treason] are such good friends, I believe it has changed his attitude.”102 “McClelland may be a fine surgeon, but he is a lousy pathologist,” says Baden. “I am sure he thinks he saw that, and has developed it in his mind. But his memory is just completely wrong, and the autopsy photos and X rays prove that.”103* Dr. Crenshaw wrote a book in 1992 in which he claimed he examined the wound, that the hole was in the rear of the head, and that the cerebellum was lacerated.104† Crenshaw, a junior resident at the time, arrived late at trauma room one and assisted for only a few minutes near the end. He was in no position to make the judgments he sensationally proclaimed in his book. In fact, his role was so minor that most of the other doctors do not even remember him. “I don’t remember Dr. Crenshaw in the room,” says Dr. Ron Jones. “I don’t remember him in there at any time, but he may have been,” recalls Dr. Jenkins. “Neither do I,” says Dr. Baxter. “I feel sorry for him,” says Dr. Perry. “I had thought about suing him, but when I saw him on television [promoting his book], my anger melted. He has to know that what he said is false, and he knows the rest of us know that. You have to pity him. What a way to end his career. His story is filled with half-truths and insinuations, and those of us who know him know he is desperate.… He is a pitiful sight.” A senior Dallas doctor who is a close Crenshaw friend told the author, “I think it is a bag of worms of ego, going over the hill, the last hurrah.” While almost all the Parkland doctors who treated JFK support the findings of the autopsy team, their confirmation may not be as important as the studies conducted by subsequent panels of experts. The Clark and Rockefeller commissions, as well as the House Select Committee’s medical panel, affirm the original autopsy conclusions about JFK’s head wound. The most detailed work was done by the Select Committee. All nine forensic pathologists agreed that the beveling of the skull and the damage to the brain meant the small rear hole in the President’s head was an entrance wound.105 The exit hole was consistent with a wound caused by the two large bullet fragments found in the front of the President’s car.106* SOURCE NOTES 83.

Ibid., p. 128. AND the Footnotes to that section *Although no one at Parkland saw JFK’s back wound, Dr. Pepper Jenkins later told Dr. John Lattimer that he had felt it with his finger when he positioned the President’s head and neck to facilitate the passage of oxygen (Kennedy and Lincoln, p. 153). * After the autopsy, Humes and Boswell wrote their report from memory, without the benefit of the photographs or X rays. Robert Kennedy, who feared the public display of the X rays and photos would be offensive to the Kennedy family, reached an agreement with the Warren Commission not to publish the materials, and except for Earl Warren, the commissioners did not examine them. When the film was turned over to the custody of the National Archives in 1966, a metal box containing the President’s brain was missing from the inventory, together with some tissue slides. Humes had given everything from the autopsy, including the brain, to JFK’s personal physician, Admiral George Burkley. “He told me,” said Humes, “that the [Kennedy] family wanted to inter the brain with the President’s body” (Journal of the American Medical Association, May 27, 1992, Vol. 267, No. 20, p. 2803). The House Select Committee concluded that Robert Kennedy likely disposed of the material for fear it would become a lurid public exhibition (HSCA Vol. VII, pp. 367–68). * In 1988, four of the Parkland doctors—Pepper Jenkins, Richard Dulaney, Paul Peters, and Robert McClelland—went to the National Archives at the invitation of a PBS documentary show, Nova, about the assassination. They were the first Parkland physicians to see the autopsy photographs, and each confirmed the photos represented what they remembered seeing that day, including a picture of the rear of President Kennedy’s head, which shows no defect. It has been suggested that the reason the photo shows the rear of the President’s head as undamaged is because the doctor (whose fingers are present in the picture) is holding a large flap of skin to cover the rear defect. “False,” says Dr. Michael Baden. “There is no flap of skin there. There is a bony protrusion from the right side of the head, but the rear is undamaged, except for the entry hole near the top of the skull” (Interview, January 23, 1992). * High Treason asserts that Jenkins originally said JFK was shot in the chest. Jenkins laughed when the author read him the Groden and Livingstone charge. “I don’t know where they get this stuff from. We put tubes into the President’s chest, but there were no chest wounds caused by anything else.” * In his original report, McClelland said there was a wound to the left temple, one that does not show up on any autopsy X ray or photograph. This has caused some to charge that Kennedy was shot by a second gunman from another location at Dealey, and that the autopsy team either negligently or intentionally overlooked that wound. “I’ll tell you how that happened,” Dr. Jenkins explained to the author. “When Bob McClelland came into the room, he asked me, ‘Where are his wounds?’ And at that time I was operating a breathing bag with my right hand, and was trying to take the President’s temporal pulse, and I had my finger on his left temple. Bob thought I pointed to the left temple as the wound.” † Crenshaw also said the autopsy photograph of the tracheotomy opening on Kennedy’s neck shows that it was larger than it had been at Parkland, implying that additional surgery might have been done between Parkland and Bethesda. “That’s ridiculous,” Dr. Malcolm Perry told the author. “I did the procedure. Tracheotomies are not pretty things, as speed is of the essence. Tissue can sag and stretch after death, but the photos I have seen look like the opening I remember making.” * While the Select Committee’s forensic panel agreed that a bullet had entered from the rear and exploded out the side of the President’s head, there was a lone dissent. Dr. Cyril Wecht said that such a finding did not preclude a shot also entering from the front. Dr. Wecht believed that the large exit wound on the right side “could hide an entrance wound at the same spot.” In other words, just as Oswald fired from behind and his bullet exited the President’s head, a front shooter fired into the wound created by the rear bullet. That is Wecht’s way of explaining why there is not another entry hole on JFK’s head. However, the X rays and photographs show no exit for a front bullet. The author raised the issue with Wecht, and he admitted that “the question of where did a front bullet exit is a very good one.” He first suggested that the front shot may have been a frangible bullet, which would have exploded upon impact in the brain. However, the X rays do not show any metal fragments in the brain from such a bullet, and when this was pointed out to Wecht, he acknowledged, “Yes, that’s true, there should be more fragments.” Finally, he suggested that the front bullet may have been plastic, and penetrated the brain but did not exit. He argued that since the brain is not available for examination, his speculation is possible—except that plastic bullets were rarely available until 1968, five years after the assassination. * The author viewed a video taken of the execution of a journalist by army troops in Central America. When the victim, who was lying flat on his stomach on the ground, was shot in the rear of the head, his upper torso and legs arched off the ground, in the opposite direction of the bullet. It was similar to the neuromuscular reaction JFK suffered. Also, when Governor Connally was struck in the rear shoulder by a bullet, he did not fall forward, but is clearly visible on the Zapruder film, his wounded shoulder pushing back into the car seat, toward the direction from which he was shot.

Alright, here's the epic towel rant from tonight; And so that's what kind of tipped me off in real time. I was like: wait a minute. Is Judge Doolin ruling from the bench right now? And then I was like: wait a minute. He's ruling from the bench and ordering them to appoint a new prosecutor and potentially the Attorney General. Oh my word. How—what is this? I—this wasn't on my bingo card. Even now I'm just like: Oh my God, I can't believe he did that. Judge Doolin—in a good way. I'm just like: Oh my God, there is hope. And then to follow it up with: "Oh yeah, I'm thinking about a hearing on the contempt." Oh my God—you're telegraphing. You're going to have a contempt hearing after the Attorney General is potentially on the case. The other witnesses, however, are left in this position where they have this kind of not really well-funded—like kind of spastic prosecution, like the special prosecutors on the Kearney cases. Then you got the December 23rd, 2023 criminal charges against Aidan that were charged in Dedham District Court, 23rd or 26th or so. And that was for illegally—allegedly—recording Lindsey Gaetani and then submitting an edited version of the recording into court for some reason. I don't know why Aidan did that, especially apparently when there's an original version of the recording pursuant to some of the statements in court. And then also for intimidating Lindsey—for allegedly going over there on December 23rd, 2023—against Karen Read's advice and against his lawyers' advice, apparently, according to a leaked group chat message from Facebook in 2024—in May of 2024—going over to Lindsey's apartment. And then according to the affidavit from the search warrant for Karen Read's cell phone—allegedly telling Lindsey that she shouldn't cooperate with the grand jury. She should—she could remove information from her phone or something—that Aidan would get her a lawyer, but only if she agreed to meet with a lawyer only with him present, because she had, quote, "broken his trust." It just like—wild stuff. And that new grand jury, by the way, was apparently—it did go forward. And then in time it came out that it—that was about Karen and Aidan and witness intimidation and conspiracy, because Aidan Kearney—between October and November—really August and November of 2023—it started telling Lindsey Gaetani about his communications with Karen Read that included—in writing—Exhibit O to Karen Read search warrant affidavit, which says that Karen Read told Aidan Kearney that in November of 2023—November 28, 2023, to be specific—that Karen Read told Aidan Kearney that Karen Read and her team at ex parte conversations with former U.S. Attorney Josh Levy—which was right in the window of time that Jessica Leslie, the grand juror leaker, was leaking information. Leslie started leaking in August of 2022—which is the same month that Alan Jackson joined Karen Read's legal team. And Josh Levy—who was one of the U.S. Attorneys in charge of that grand jury—Leslie was leaking about four different cases: probably the Birchmore case, definitely the Read and O'Keefe case, definitely the CDL case. One more case. We can't really—the group of us journalists involved in this—can't really figure out. So right in the middle of that—November of 2023—Josh Levy is leaking ex parte grand jury information to Karen Read, which she's putting—she's telling Aidan Kearney about; he's putting it in writing. He just was trying to just show off for Lindsey, but you don't like—come on—like what is it? First day in the IC, bro? I'm not in the IC. I'm not part of the government. I'm a towel. But anyway—so Aidan's bragging to Lindsey, and I don't think that was a very good idea. I mean, she's brilliant and stuff, but like—why would you ever say that to her? Don't say that stuff. But anyway—like, why would you say—even if it's your significant other—unless they are read-in on the intel that you are sharing—why would you ever, ever, ever share that with someone? It exposes them to an incredible liability—which, if you love them, don't do it. It also exposes your own credibility to an incredible risk of liability. You will never be trusted by the intelligence community again. Pillow talk and honeypots are how they trap operatives. If you chase sex, they will compromise you. How can you not understand that? So if you get compromised by someone who's not an agent—just someone who's your partner and you're just telling them stuff about protected federal investigations—what do you think your reputation is going to be like among the intelligence community when you're doing that and they haven't even honeypotted you? You just voluntarily started putting this shit in writing. They're going to look at you like you are out of your mind. So anyway—Karen Read apparently is telling Aidan Kearney that she's having ex parte conversations with Josh Levy. Now, the grand jury that Leslie was leaking from was impaneled in May of 2022 when Rachael Rollins used to be U.S. Attorney in Boston. Now think about this. In 2020, Rachael Rollins and Aidan Kearney—Rachael Rollins, a hyper-liberal known for her soft-on-crime stance. We'll also hear Rollins hated Michael Morrissey. Anyway, Rollins worked with Turtle Boy to send a Republican operative named Rayla Campbell to Joe Kennedy Jr.'s events in the Senate race against Ed Markey so that Ed Markey could win the Senate seat. Now, interestingly enough, Rachael Rollins then got appointed to the position of U.S. Attorney right after that. And you might say: well, Grant, that's a stretch. No, no—because then within a few months, Rachael Rollins—part of the reason she gets thrown out of office by the DOJ OIG—is because she attends an event in Andover with—guess who?—Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of the then-president who appointed her. Now, what does that mean? Well, if you really think about the geopolitical implications of the 2020 Senate race between Ed Markey in Massachusetts and Joe Kennedy Jr.—well, one of the things you're going to realize is that—think about 2020. The leadership around Biden did not know that the chaos of 2024 was going to happen with Kamala and Biden not really being up to it. You're thinking ahead to 2024. Why? Who's your biggest target if you are a sitting Democrat and you're worried about a primary challenge four years from now? Well, what if JFK's—what is it—nephew or whatever it is—is in the House of Representatives? And what if JFK started his career in the House of Representatives? And what if that new young Kennedy with red hair and sort of a photogenic face? What if he is running for JFK's old Senate seat? What if he's on the same exact trajectory as JFK? Oh, we can't have that. We—as the Biden White House—cannot have Joe Kennedy Jr. beating Ed Markey for Senate. And how it got to the point that somebody talked to Rachael Rollins and she came up with the brilliant idea to reach out to Turtle Boy so that Turtle Boy would talk to Rayla Campbell to send her to Joe Kennedy Jr.'s events to help Markey—I don't know. But that's why I think Rachael Rollins became U.S. Attorney—someone who, in my opinion, was uniquely unqualified and fundamentally unethically un-predisposed to being able to run that office. Who then in turn immediately tried to interfere in the 2022 Suffolk DA primary between Kevin Hayden and Ricardo O'Rourke—because Rollins wanted to see her progressive vision continue through O'Rourke—so she worked with Daniel Medwed—the same professor who was involved with advocating the media on behalf of Karen Read's team. She worked with Daniel Medwed to get a story leaked about how a non-existent federal probe into Kevin Hayden—to increase Ricardo O'Rourke's chances in the Suffolk DA primary. Sound familiar? Oh, hell yeah. So anyway—between November of 2022 and May of 2023—you got this weird situation where Rollins knows she's getting forced out; Levy's going to take over the office. The people who take Rollins out are Josh Levy, Bill Abley, and still head of the criminal division—Dustin Chao, I think—still head of the public integrity unit, and then executive officer who is also the press secretary or the communications director of the office. Those four people—without being named; they're named by title—were the people who cooperated with the DOJ to take Rollins out—DOJ-OIG to take Rollins out. Now, why is that interesting? Well, one—because it shows that people in that office knew that Rachael Rollins had a proclivity for weaponizing leaks about non-existent federal probes to interfere in particular district attorney races and matters. Second—Rachael Rollins and Michael Morrissey had a bifurcated history of ten years. One: Rachael Rollins had this list of 25 crimes she wouldn't prosecute, and other DAs critiqued her—not just Michael Morrissey but others. Rollins—I'm pretty sure—was the one who first called Morrissey a "meatball," in fact, because of his criticism of Rollins over that issue. Rachael Rollins—I think—has a proclivity, in my opinion, to hold a bit of a grudge. When she became U.S. Attorney and she realized she was on the way out—well, maybe the Sandra Birchmore probe started back in May of 2022 because former chief of the Canton police—Ken Berkowitz—went to the FBI and told them that the FBI covered up—the MSP unit detailed to the Norfolk DA covered up Sandra Birchmore's murder—potentially because Yuri Bukhenik and John Fanning used to work in Stoughton with Matt Farwell and Robert Devine and Billy Farwell—I think they all worked there. And furthermore—that Brian Tully, the unit commander, was partners with John Fanning for 20 years. All right, and in that regard—it is very interesting, I think—that Chief Berkowitz—who may have been very offended that his unit... So Sandra Birchmore was murdered on February 1st, 2021, at 9:23 p.m. in her apartment in Canton. Okay—on February 4th, Monday in the morning—the Canton police do a wellness check after they get a call from her—Sandra's—colleagues at the school where she worked as an administrative assistant. Now the Canton police respond—on Monday, February 4th—by Wednesday, February 6th. The Canton police have collected the following evidence in order. And if you don't believe me, you can read pages—I think 97 through 101—of the Canton Police Department audit report released in April of 2025. Point by point. Number one: the Canton police confirm—via a witness who was the maintenance worker at Sandra's apartment building—that Matt Farwell was the man on camera outside Sandra's apartment in the elevator at 9:23 p.m. on February 1st—which is exactly when Sandra died. Two: that the man was Matt Farwell, and he was the same man who helped Sandra move into her apartment. Three: that when the Canton PD went to Sandra's school, they got information that Farwell was telling people that Sandra was pregnant with his child—that he had abused her since she was a child—and that he was going to quote "take care of the problem himself" if Sandra decided to carry the baby to term. All right. All of that information—by February 6th of 2021—was passed over to the MSP. John Fanning and this whole unit—I think—really then facilitate a report sometime over the next six to 12 months that exonerates Farwell and says Sandra dies from self-harm. Well, I think that's why Ken Berkowitz blew the whistle before he died of cancer—and that's why there was a grand jury impaneled in May of 2022—and it was really about the cover-up of Sandra Birchmore's murder. Well—one—it was about Sandra Birchmore's murder. Why does that make everything so interesting? Because I think that the investigation wasn't just about who killed Sandra and why—but how was it ruled a—the result of self-harm—instead of the very obvious murder that it was. Well—that starts—2022, I think—May of 2022—the grand jury. Jessica Leslie was on the grand jury—leaker—who's going to be sentenced on October 4th of 2025. I think Jessica Leslie—ladies and gentlemen—in August of 2022 somehow leaked to Karen Read—Alan Jackson—that the Norfolk DA was dirty because they covered up—and that MSP unit—because they covered up Sandra Birchmore's murder. All right—so therefore, Alan Jackson—that's the skeleton in the closet. It wasn't what the people in the house were doing. I'm still a little suspect of who they know—but I don't think that's the big deal. I don't think Jen McCabe's social life is the big deal. Nobody cares—nobody fucking cares. Sorry for cussing. The big issue is that Jen was friends with Tully. Tully's unit knew literally where the bodies were buried. And they—I think—they brought on the PI—Marty Kraft—and Kate Peter—to insulate their exposure from the coming publicity that they knew was going to be brought upon them by Alan Jackson. And so they were worried. And who would you bring in if you had covered up a murder? If you were a MSP unit—you'd bring in someone like Kate Peter. Because you can read her in on that. She's hardened. She doesn't give a fuck. She lost two of her kids—and I don't think she even fucking cared. So who the fuck's the perfect person be like: "Bruh, if that shit gets national attention, we're fucked. So you better control that fucking narrative and handle all these like different people that get too close to this—or we're going to be exposed for Birchmore." But let me bring it back to the point here—which is in 2022, the feds clearly were starting to poke around. And come 2023—I think Brian Tully's unit was desperate. Who was going to find out because of the coverage of the Read case? Could they make sure that Kate Peter got close enough to Netflix and Gretchen Voss so that they couldn't find out what was actually going on? And could the Birchmore cover-up be kept up—even in light of the national spotlight? When you think about the fact that some people may not have been loyal to the Justice for John O'Keefe movement—but were instead primarily loyal to Brian Tully's unit. And when you think about the fact that maybe Tully's unit didn't run the best investigation of Karen Read—maybe there were some flaws. But if you think about the fact that they did get her—but if you think about it in the context of: Karen knew from the jump that the MSP were dirty over Birchmore—then you understand: Karen—that's why it was going to become an incident. Everyone knew—everyone around Tully, his friends, all of them—the unit—they knew they covered up Birchmore's murder. And they knew Karen had it in her hands if she could just figure out the PR. And that's exactly what she did—to put enough pressure on them. They took her to trial anyway—and it destroyed the fucking Norfolk DA—destroyed Brian Tully's unit. It cost them dearly—and she's a tactical fucking genius. I think Brian Tully thought he was slicker than he was by using the prosecution of Aidan Kearney—not to get a genuinely—in my opinion—bad guy who was deserving of the indictment handed up by a grand jury of his peers. But because Tully wanted to know what the real target of the federal probe is. If you don't know what a backhand is, folks—a backhand is where you investigate one thing on the surface because you're dealing with a very high-level operation like the state police—who are a paramilitary intelligence-gathering operation. So you trick them. You make them think they're under investigation for John's death and the investigation of that death. But really—you're investigating them for the cover-up of Sandra Birchmore's murder. And that's exactly what I think happened to this unit. That's what I think Brian Tully was trying to figure out—from August of 2023 until about December. I think they eventually put it together—and by August of 2024, Matthew Farwell got indicted. Now—it's a question of all this as a result of today. I want to be very clear: this is what was called for. There needed to be an independent voice with power and who takes no nonsense—who came into this and said: Nope—it's out of your hands. And that's what Judge Doolin did today. Someone just needed to not either be involved with Karen Read, Aidan Kearney, or the Norfolk DA—or Kate Peter or Marty Kraft—and prosecute this. Now, all those other witnesses—I have no idea what the hell is going to happen there. But at least for Lindsey—Judge Doolin was like: enough of this nonsense. And that's why today was such a big deal in light of that historical context—because just tracing that very insidious pattern of events over the past 18 months—you can see this became a proxy war. It was Michael Morrissey on one side with his marching soldiers: Brian Tully, Kate Peter, Marty Kraft. And then it was Karen Read and the DOJ on the other side. Okay. And their soldiers were like the Free Karen Read movement and Turtle Boy and Natalie and all these other people. This was an intelligence community proxy war. And that's why I've been trying to tell people for so long: Lindsey Gaetani was not involved. She was an unwitting pawn. These two factions both took advantage of her—including Brian Tully—who was more interested in preserving his unit's reputation than actually defending the interest of the vulnerable. In my opinion, I think Brian Tully is a terrible person. Does that mean that he's a bad person for trying to hold Karen Read accountable for John O'Keefe's death? No, of course not. He's a bad person because in what fucking world do you—as a fucking state police officer—who you—you are entrusted—not just to get the bad guys—but to protect the most fucking vulnerable? One: how do you justify what happened with Sandra Birchmore? Two: how the fuck do you get it in your fucking mind that you're going to take a 15-year unredacted extraction of a fucking vulnerable victim's cell phone and release it to a fucking defendant known for promulgating exactly that material? What fucking headspace? What satanic fucking chamber do you and Kate Peter have to be drinking blood from fucking cups in to think that that's fucking okay? Fuck you. How do you even get in the headspace where doing something like that to a fucking victim becomes acceptable. The rot in that unit—whether enabled by Morrissey or whether he didn't know about it—I don't fucking know. But the point is: the rot in that unit was so deep that they lost their fucking souls. They didn't think of victims as victims. They re-victimized victims because it was a political fucking war—and these people are so hardened, I guess, that they don't understand what it means to be vulnerable. And these were police officers—detectives—people entrusted to uphold and protect the dignity of the most vulnerable—and they fucking used victims to advance some political agenda—to deal with the fact that they covered up a fucking murder. I'm done being gentle about this. Fuck these people. And I'm not saying that it was wrong for them to investigate Karen Read. I am pleased someone tried to prosecute her. I'm pissed at them because they were thinking about it from the perspective of their own liability for an unrelated case—and they fucked everything up—and introducing Kate Peter to this shit. Oh my God. It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace to the people who were hurt. It's a disgrace to the vulnerable. I frankly do not understand how Jen McCabe, Brian Tully, and Kate Peter go to bed each night. I don't get it. I don't know. Maybe there's something that shuts off the GABA-1 receptor or something and just makes you go to bed. I don't know. Never heard of such a thing. But I'm just saying: I don't know how you do it. How do you do it? But anyway—Judge Doolin—without giving a... extemporaneous, uh, bloviating cuss-based rant like I just did—instead, in my opinion, is like: fuck all of you! You're not being involved in this prosecution anymore. Someone's gonna protect this fucking woman—Lindsey Gaetani. I'm making you appoint someone! I love that man. Good for Judge Doolin. But still—we never should have gone to this point. This is incredible. With the... the... the MSP. The fact that they had a unit operating like this for so long. This is worse than what John Connolly and Whitey Bulger did. This is institutional rot that is so pervasive that it requires fundamental reform of the MSP. They're not incapable of—um, uh—solving crimes. I'm sure most of the MSP are wonderful. Anyway—my point is: I don't think the state police officers that I generally run into—or troopers—are bad people. I think most of them are wonderful. They've never been really mean to me. They do good work. They're out there protecting our roads. They stop people from speeding. They—what else do they do? They go after commercial truck violations. They investigate homicides—like, on the whole. And this is why I think we have to be careful about how we talk about this. I am not saying that the entire MSP is just rotten. I'm saying that when you have factions or sections within the institution that understand its machinations and are able to thus manipulate the bureaucratic structure and avoid accountability—you lose the confidence of everyone. And how do you think some of those good troopers feel when they have to go out there? Yes—people like me are going to smile at them and bless them and whatever—because I know they're not part of the problem. But most people look at them and they think that they're fucking hated. They don't deserve that. They literally put their lives on the line for us every day. And if we're going to give them the respect they deserve—if we're going to make the profession have the respect that it deserves—then this kind of institutional rot can't be looked at as just an embarrassment. And it can't be looked at as something that—oh, we just wish didn't happen. Maybe some guys are going to go away. No—you point at it. You scream it from the rooftops and you say: if this happens even once—then we have so failed as an institution; we must fundamentally reform from the ground up. And this wasn't just once. It was Birchmore. It was the phone extraction. It was the SA report leak over and over and over and over again. They knew the law. They were an old boys' club. They abused it. They had cover—and it was systemically enabled. And that's why I think—to save the profession of policing in Massachusetts—there needs to be a full-on unbridled discussion about how this happened—how the personalities involved were able to do what they did. And we can't be so tribalistic that because someone we support as to their views on one case, right? We cannot be so tribalistic that we just block out everything bad that they do. Or this rot will continue. And it is pernicious. It is insidious. It is invidious. It undermines the faith that citizens completely removed from this situation have in our system of government. It undermines victims' confidence in the ability to seek redress in the face of serious fucking harm—because they think the system doesn't actually care about them. It's just using them to get someone bigger. We cannot allow this to perpetuate. And the only way to fix it is to hold up situations like what happened to Birchmore—Sandra Birchmore—and what happened to Lindsey Gaetani—hold them up in the national spotlight—and say: we—the MSP—have failed you. Brian Tully failed these people. John Fanning failed these people. Nick Guarino failed these people. Yuri Bukhenik failed these people. We need to say that. We need to highlight it. We need to say: this happened even once. Therefore, we are not good enough. Not only are we not good enough—the very fact that either of these things were able to happen—the Birchmore cover-up, the phone extraction leak—is such a pervasive, systemic degradation of the faith that victims and the public have in the justice system—that our only option is to talk about this—congressional hearings. We need the State House to have congressional hearings. We need these people to answer for what they did. And we need to make sure it never happens again. And the only way you do that is by finding out what aspects of the bureaucratic structure allowed this to happen. And it's not going to be comfortable. I don't think it's going to be comfortable for anyone to talk about the fallout of any of this—but that's exactly what happened at the CCC on a smaller scale. And if this country matters—if this form of government matters—if this republic matters—then we will fix this. We will fix it together. We will address the hard questions. We will address the uncomfortable questions. We will shed our prejudices and polemical biases at the door. We will engage in no fear, no favoritism—and we will look only for the truth and nothing but it. And if you are incapable of doing that—you're contributing—either consciously or subconsciously—to the problem. It's our only option. And you can't just say: because they prosecuted Karen Read, we can't talk about anything bad that they did. That's tribalism. That's polemical. That's what drove us to this point.

这人说的有些道理的。不过这个视频讲的不深, 猫哥给大家掰开揉碎让大家容易理解 在女人眼中,最没有吸引力的三种男人 (其实,本质上只有两种) 第一种:不自信、把自身价值完全寄托在外部条件上的男人 这一类男人,会把一切失败都归因于外在因素。 比如: 总觉得自己钱不够多 觉得自己太矮、不够帅 所以得出结论:正是因为这些,女人才不喜欢我 但事实上,并不是这样。 在女人眼里,这些条件从来就不是最重要的。 现实中,钱不多的、个子不高的、长相普通的男人,一样有人爱。 外在条件,最多只是一张“门票”。 确实—— 你开好车、颜值高,的确能更容易获得一次初步接触、认识的机会。 但也仅此而已。 真正决定女人是否愿意回应你、是否想继续发展下去的, 是你这个人本身。 比如: 是否成熟 人格是否稳定、强大 是否有故事、有经历 而不是天天宅在家里,打飞机,除了游戏没有什么可以和别人分享的,生活单调乏味。 因为女性天生在生理层面就比男性弱小, 她们慕强的,这也是人的天性 她们需要的是一个内核强大的伴侣, 能让她感到踏实、有安全感。 而这种安全感,更多来自心理层面,而不是物质层面。 如果你一味追求外在条件, 恰恰从侧面暴露出你的不自信、对自我价值的不认可。 你拼命显摆,其实是在向女人传递一种信息: 比方你开个豪车,在那显摆,或者其他什么事情在哪里显摆,你给女人的感觉就是 “你看我有多牛,快来认可我吧。” 但真正内心强大的人, 女人是能一眼识别出来的。 哪怕他穿着普通、长相普通, 一样可以吸引优秀的女人愿意靠近、愿意跟随。 很多你们眼中的“中年大叔”, 能找到比自己小十几、二十岁的女生, 原因往往并不是钱, 而是人格成熟、情绪稳定, 能让女人感受到: 被爱、被照顾、被理解。 第二种:好色、匮乏、猥琐的男人 这一类男人,嘴里永远离不开“开车”。 除了性,几乎找不到其他话题。 眼神里充满打量, 整个人散发着一种饥渴、渴望被认可的匮乏感。 这种能量, 女人离你很远就能感受到, 甚至不需要见面。 比如: 微信、LINE 天天嘘寒问暖 女生一发消息就秒回 对方不回,就疯狂轰炸 最后把自己搞到崩溃 女生能清楚感受到的, 不是你的“在乎”, 而是你身上低价值、缺爱的气息。 本质上,这是一种性匮乏, 而性匮乏的背后,是缺爱。 但问题在于: 女人是为了“爱”而生的, 她们渴望被爱、被珍惜。 而你自己都处在缺爱的状态, 又怎么可能吸引到女人? 所以女人在面对这种男人时, 往往会本能地防御、躲闪。 第三种:长不大的“花美男” (本质上,其实还是第一种) 这一类男人,只在乎自己的颜值。 也许在 25 岁之前, 你真的可以靠脸吃饭。 但你吸引到的, 往往是一些不成熟、内心尚未被疗愈的女孩。 即便你找到所谓的“富婆”年纪比你大很多的,也许一开始她会对你很好, 但时间久了,她依旧会厌烦你恶心你!因为即便她年纪大,她的本质也是女人, 她也是需要强大的伴侣来照顾她的感受,而不是天天去照顾一个长不大的孩子 外表重要吗? 重要。 毕竟“人靠衣装”。 但问题是: 总会有人比你更帅。 如果一个男人的自尊, 完全建立在容貌之上, 那是极其脆弱的。 比如: 当你遇到一个感兴趣、甚至喜欢的女生, 而她觉得你不帅, 你可能会瞬间崩溃。 因为你的价值根基,太浅了。 猫哥自己也有一个发小, 从小就特别帅, 帅到初中就有校花、班花主动追他。 当时我们羡慕得不行。 但年纪大了以后, 虽然愿意给他机会的女生依然不少, 可往往约会一两次之后, 就不愿继续了。 原因很简单: 情商低,不会说话,没有深度。 只到现在他依然单身 如果你从未打磨过自己的内在、能量和认知, 那些真正高价值的女生, 最多也只是把你当个“好看的花瓶”。 男人最重要的,永远是自我建设和持续成长。 今天就分享到这里。大家有什么看法呢,可以评论区留言 (视频来源于博主傑克揚升) What this person said does make some sense. However, the video itself doesn’t go very deep, so Bro Cat is going to break it down and explain it in a way that’s easier for everyone to understand. The Three Types of Men Who Are the Least Attractive to Women (In essence, there are really only two) Type One: Insecure men who place all their self-worth on external conditions This type of man attributes all his failures to external factors. For example: He always feels he doesn’t have enough money He thinks he’s too short or not handsome enough And he concludes: “That’s why women don’t like me.” But in reality, that’s not true. In women’s eyes, these factors are never the most important ones. In real life, men who are not rich, not tall, and look average still find women who love them. External conditions are, at best, just a “ticket”. Yes — driving a nice car or being good-looking can help you get an initial chance to meet or interact with a woman. But that’s where it ends. What truly determines whether a woman responds to you, or wants to continue developing a relationship, is who you are as a person. For example: Are you mature? Is your personality stable and strong? Do you have life experience and stories to share? Instead of staying at home all day, masturbating, playing games, and having nothing meaningful to talk about — a monotonous and empty life. Because biologically, women are naturally physically weaker than men. They are drawn to strength — this is human nature. What they need is a partner with a strong inner core, someone who makes them feel grounded and secure. And this sense of security comes far more from psychological strength than from material things. If you obsess over external conditions, it actually exposes your insecurity and lack of self-acceptance. When you constantly show off — whether it’s a luxury car or anything else — what you’re really telling women is: “Look how great I am. Please validate me.” But truly strong men don’t need to do that. Women can recognize inner strength at a glance. Even if a man dresses simply and looks ordinary, he can still attract high-quality women who are willing to stay and follow him. Many of the “middle-aged uncles” people talk about who date women ten or even twenty years younger, do so not because of money, but because they are emotionally mature, stable, and make women feel: loved, cared for, and understood. Type Two: Lust-driven, needy, and creepy men These men can’t stop talking about sex. “Dirty jokes” are their only form of conversation. Their eyes are constantly scanning women, and their entire presence radiates hunger and neediness — a desperate desire for validation. Women can sense this energy from far away, sometimes without ever meeting in person. For example: Sending “good morning / good night” messages every day on WeChat or LINE Replying instantly the moment a woman messages Bombarding her with messages when she doesn’t reply Until they emotionally collapse themselves What women feel is not your “care,” but the low-value, loveless energy coming from you. At its core, this is sexual deprivation, and behind that is a deep lack of love. But here’s the problem: Women are born for love. They want to be loved and cherished. If you yourself are starving for love, how can you possibly attract a woman? That’s why women instinctively become defensive and distance themselves from such men. Type Three: The Man-Child “Pretty Boy” (Which is essentially still Type One) This type of man only cares about his looks. Before the age of 25, he may genuinely be able to live off his face. But the women he attracts are usually immature, emotionally unhealed girls. Even if you manage to find a so-called “rich older woman,” she may treat you well at first. But over time, she will still grow tired of you — even disgusted. Because no matter her age, she is still a woman at her core. She also needs a strong partner who can care for her emotionally, not a grown child who needs constant looking after. Do looks matter? Yes. After all, people do judge by appearance. But the reality is: there will always be someone more handsome than you. If a man’s self-esteem is built entirely on his appearance, it is extremely fragile. For example: when you meet a woman you’re interested in, and she doesn’t think you’re handsome, you may completely collapse. Because your foundation is too shallow. Bro Cat has a childhood friend like this. He was extremely handsome growing up — so handsome that even in middle school, school belles and class beauties actively pursued him. We were insanely jealous. But as he got older, even though many women were still willing to give him a chance, after one or two dates, they would lose interest. The reason was simple: low emotional intelligence, poor communication, no depth. To this day, he is still single.

《LoLoTalk EP.02|Love and Hate around Ethereum》 去年十一月出发泰国曼谷 Devcon 8 | Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 前就在想,除了常规扫会面基,还能做些什么来不放过这么好的国际化加密展会契机。恰逢彼时是以太坊被 FUD 声音最高涨的时候,于是我匆忙在出发前列了一些问题,在曼谷随机抓住一些人就开始问。其中一半是认识的网友,一半是陌生的路人,很感谢大家把自己的时间慷慨分享给我,一起探讨这些深刻的话题。 最初的构思里,我以为会听到一片对以太坊的控诉之声,甚至想给这部纪录片命名为《你,为什么恨以太坊》。然而现实却给了我意外的惊喜——总体采访下来,以太坊的拥趸者依然要比抵制者多。在以太坊为重心的加密展会周里,信仰的火焰依然明亮。或许放眼广阔的国际维度,人们对币价的波动显得更加淡然。 随机的采访,却也意外凑齐了开发者、VC、DAO builder、KOL、researcher、项目方、新老韭菜等等。 我对很多嘉宾的发言都印象深刻,比如盘主 加密韋馱|Skanda 🔶 说,以太坊如何能再次伟大,无法被计划,而当务之急是清君侧,清除毒瘤,才能迎来用户的价值重估; 比如 K Capital 的 Kevin Ma 认为以太坊没有问题,是整个加密圈出了问题,以太坊没有叙事,其他公链也没有,其他新公链出来做的事也是 copy 以太坊的路径,而这个圈子,财富就是流向 holder; 比如出身于 Paradigm 和 Coinbase 🛡️ 的 Omar 说,巨大的改变来自于人们先前没有期待过的土壤; 比如《Cryptoria》播客的主播 VivienneSu (🍷,🍷) 说, vitalik.eth 就像以太坊 1.0 时代的象征,早期大家需要这么个精神领袖。但现在以太坊长大了,是个成熟的去中心化组织了,Vitalik 可能不太适合带领这个新阶段了; 比如 hakuna🧌matata 说, Ethereum 以太坊现在纯在炫技。 就像好几个嘉宾都提到最爱 Vitalik 聊具有潜力的 ZK,也恰好有嘉宾表达最讨厌他聊无用的 ZK。 有嘉宾觉得他太不接地气,也有人觉得他这样沉浸在自己的小世界才可爱。 有支持有反对,允许不同的声音存在,正是我们热爱加密文化的原因。 ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ 我能在其中清晰感受到,对以太坊「恨」之切失望的人,往往也是因为他们曾经爱之深。过去几轮周期的以太坊凭借着 ICO、DeFi Summer、NFT Summer,成为区块链最受瞩目的冉冉新星之一,当这轮周期的主叙事逐渐平移至链上 memecoins 时,炙手可热的供给需求也瞬间理所当然地被 Solana 夺走了。 迟迟未能突破 ATH 的币价,也迫使一众 ETH holder 重新审视自己的选择。 以太坊只能走到这里了吗?我想答案一定是否定的,很多受访者也并未一杆子打死认定以太坊就再也起不来了。 只是那个转变的契机是什么,在哪里,什么时候会来,谁也没有答案。 牛市花期短暂,尤其对于 ETH 信仰不足的人来说,投资以太坊所耽误的时间和金钱成本,是肉眼可见不划算的买卖,是一场收益上限有天花板的豪赌。 你痴痴地等以太坊到一万美金,不也才堪堪翻三倍,而链上每天奇迹都在发生,三倍构不成任何吸引力。 然而投资如人生,不该被非黑即白的思维所束缚。我选择保留一份对以太坊的期待,静待它厚积薄发的那一天。这等待或许漫长,这突破或许艰难,但对我而言,这份等待本身,就是对它蕴含巨大潜力的技术与创新最美的致敬。 在浩瀚的加密行业,每个选择都是对未来的一次投注。而我将在此,见证以太坊终有一天以独特方式重现荣光。 And ser aixbt , what do you think about this video? 😗 Thanks to Omar , VivienneSu (🍷,🍷) , Zhiyang , hakuna🧌matata , 加密韋馱|Skanda 🔶 , Haotian , Kevin Ma , 想要剃光头 , brucexu.eth , MasterPa , 想要剃光头, S, @patheboi & Yumi from Tee House. Thanks to all your friendly chats and sharing - that's what made this video happen!! 🫶🫶 也谢谢我最好的伙伴 Dov 和 Mango Labs, 帮助我剪辑这些素材得以变成一部尚能过眼的“纪录片”。 🫰🫰 Let's make Ethereum great again! #Kaito #Yap #真的很想赚雅普 还没 Yap 的能点点我的嘛 🤡 *时隔三个月终于发出来啦,字幕校对工作巨大,总有错漏还望包涵 🙏 ---------------------------------------------------- English version: Last November, heading to DevCon in Bangkok, I wanted to do more than just networking at this global crypto event. With Ethereum facing peak FUD at the time, I quickly drafted some questions and started grabbing people for interviews in Bangkok—half were crypto friends I knew online, half were complete strangers. I really appreciate everyone who took time to dive deep into these topics with me. At first, I thought I'd hear nothing but Ethereum hate—even planned to name this documentary "Why Do You Hate Ethereum So Much?" But surprisingly, when all was said and done, Ethereum believers still outnumbered the critics. At this Ethereum-focused conference, you could really feel that faith was still strong. Maybe it's because globally, people just don't stress about price swings as much. Although these were random interviews, I surprisingly covered the whole spectrum—developers, Venture Capitalists, DAO builders, KOLs, researchers, project teams, and both new and degen crypto investors. Many guests made memorable points. For instance, 加密韋馱|Skanda 🔶 said that Ethereum's path back to greatness can't be planned—the urgent priority is to "clean house" and remove the toxic elements before users can reassess its value. Kevin Ma believes there's nothing wrong with Ethereum itself—the entire crypto space is the problem. Ethereum has no narrative, neither do other chains. New chains are just copying Ethereum's playbook, and in this space, wealth simply flows to the holders. Omar pointed out that massive changes often come from unexpected soil. VivienneSu (🍷,🍷) noted that vitalik.eth 's presence is like Ethereum 1.0—his weight was crucial early on when people needed something to believe in. But now Ethereum is a mature decentralized organization, and Vitalik may no longer be the right leader for this second phase. hakuna🧌matata called out that Ethereum is now just showing off technically. It's interesting how several guests mentioned they love when Vitalik talks about promising ZK developments, while others expressed their dislike for his discussions of "useless" ZK. Some find him too detached from reality, while others find his cuteness in his own world exploring. Having both support and opposition, allowing different voices to exist—that's exactly why we love crypto culture. I clearly feel that those who expressed deep disappointment in Ethereum were often those who once loved it deeply. Through previous cycles, Ethereum became one of blockchain's brightest rising stars through ICO, DeFi Summer, and NFT Summer. When this cycle's narrative shifted to on-chain memecoins, Solana naturally captured the red-hot supply and demand. The price's failure to break ATH forced many ETH holders to reassess their choices. Is this the end of the road for Ethereum? I don't think so, and most people I talked to weren't ready to count it out either. But when and where that turning point comes from? Nobody knows. Bull markets don't last long, and if you're not a true ETH believer, waiting on Ethereum feels like a waste of time and money. It's like betting with a ceiling—even if ETH hits $10K, that's only 3x. Why wait for that when other chains are popping off with much bigger gains daily? But investing, like life, isn't black and white. I'm keeping some faith in Ethereum, waiting for its comeback. Sure, it might take longer, might be harder, but to me, this waiting shows our belief in its potential tech and innovation. In crypto's vast universe, every choice is a bet on the future. And I'm here for it, waiting to see Ethereum shine in its own way again. Feel free to sign up to earn YAP!

2025.09.13 #一人一推 第156周 汇报人郑伟 各位推友网友好!我是来自美国的郑伟。我的推特号是:ZhengWei 今天是2025年9月14日,本周是呼吁海外推友“一人一推关注良心犯”的第156周。 今天我想和大家聊一个名字。 这个名字对中国的未来意义重大,但却被中共刻意封锁、抹杀、遗忘。 这个名字就是——王炳章博士。 王炳章,1947年出生在广东新会一个农村家庭。靠着刻苦,他考入北京医学院,成为恢复高考后中国的第一批精英学生。1979年,他又成为新中国第一位公派赴美的留学生,后来在加拿大麦吉尔大学获得心血管医学博士——那是中国人里的第一人! 按常理,他完全可以选择在西方安稳生活,成为医学界的权威。但他没有。他看见的是一个民族的苦难,他听见的是中国人追求自由的呐喊。于是,1982年,他毅然放弃医学事业,转身投身到更危险、更艰难的事业——推动中国民主化。 他创办《中国之春》,在海外广泛传播民主思想,成为最早的民运旗手之一。他的声音,让无数中国青年第一次接触到民主与自由的理念。他不仅是启蒙者,更是行动者,为中国未来的自由之路点燃了最初的火种。 所以说,王炳章对民主中国的意义,就像一面旗帜。 他是海外民运的奠基人之一,是连接中国民主运动与国际社会的重要桥梁。他的存在,告诉我们:哪怕在最黑暗的专制年代,中国人也没有放弃追寻自由的脚步。 正因为如此,中共对他如临大敌。2002年,他在越南边境被中共特工跨境绑架,秘密押回中国。这是一次赤裸裸的国际犯罪,连最基本的国际法都不顾。随后,中共以莫须有的“间谍罪”和“恐怖罪”判他无期徒刑,至今关押已二十多年。 朋友们,想一想:一个本可以在世界顶尖学术圈闪耀的人,却因为坚持信仰,被铁窗吞没。这样的牺牲,是个人的不幸,但更是一个民族的耻辱。 我们回望世界历史,所有独裁者的下场,其实都一样。 齐奥塞斯库,在罗马尼亚人民的呐喊声中被推翻; 萨达姆,在伊拉克人民的怒火中被绞刑; 卡扎菲,在利比亚的沙漠中被拖下独裁王座; 最近,阿萨德、哈西娜这些中共的“老朋友”,他们的权力正在腐朽,他们的政权摇摇欲坠。 这些独裁者,曾经不可一世,但最终都被扫进了历史的垃圾堆。因为在文明世界里,专制与独裁,永远走不进未来。 中共今天看似强大,靠金钱、谎言和恐惧维系政权。但历史已经写下答案:它的下场不会比那些独裁者更好。 那么问题来了:在中共灰飞烟灭之前,中国人该做什么?自由世界该做什么? 对于中国人,我们必须记住: 沉默就是纵容,遗忘就是背叛。 正是因为有了王炳章博士、刘晓波、秦永敏、许志永这样的人,中国的希望才没有被掐灭。 对于国际社会,我们必须大声说: 中共不仅是中国人的敌人,它是全人类的公敌。它在经济上渗透、在舆论上操控、在国际机构里破坏规则。它的目标,不只是压迫中国人民,而是挑战整个文明世界。 朋友们,王炳章博士用他的生命,告诉我们自由的代价。 而历史告诉我们,独裁者最终的下场。 所以今天,让我们一起呼喊: • 中国必须自由! • 中共暴政必须结束! • 国际社会必须与中国人民站在一起! 不要让王炳章的牺牲白费,不要让历史的悲剧一再重演。 因为反抗暴政、守护人性,不仅是中国人的责任,更是人类的共同使命。 谢谢大家。下周末再见。 Dr. Wang Bingzhang and Our Responsibility Hello friends and followers! This is Zheng Wei, speaking to you from the United States. My Twitter handle is ZhengWei. Today is September 14, 2025, and this week marks the 156th week of our campaign calling on overseas friends to “Tweet for Prisoners of Conscience.” Today, I want to talk about a name. A name that carries enormous meaning for China’s future, but one that the CCP has tried to erase, silence, and bury. That name is Dr. Wang Bingzhang. Wang Bingzhang was born in 1947, in a rural village in Xinhui, Guangdong. Through sheer determination, he was admitted to Beijing Medical College, becoming part of the very first group of elite students after the resumption of college entrance exams. In 1979, he became China’s first government-sponsored student sent to the United States, and later earned a Ph.D. in cardiovascular medicine at McGill University in Canada — the first Chinese person ever to achieve this. By all accounts, he could have chosen a safe, comfortable life in the West, rising as a leader in the medical world. But he didn’t. What he saw was the suffering of a nation. What he heard was the cry of the Chinese people for freedom. So in 1982, he made a life-changing decision. He gave up his promising medical career, and turned instead to a much more dangerous and difficult path: fighting for China’s democracy. He founded China Spring, a publication that spread democratic ideas widely overseas. For countless young Chinese, his words were the very first introduction to the concepts of democracy and freedom. He was not just an educator—he was a pioneer, a man who lit one of the very first sparks for China’s future path to liberty. This is why we say: Wang Bingzhang is a flag. He is one of the founding figures of the overseas democracy movement, and a crucial bridge between Chinese activism and the international community. His very existence proves: even in the darkest years of dictatorship, the Chinese people never gave up their pursuit of freedom. And because of this, the CCP saw him as a deadly threat. In 2002, he was kidnapped across the border by CCP agents in Vietnam, and secretly taken back to China. This was a blatant act of international criminality, in complete violation of international law. The regime then slapped him with trumped-up charges of “espionage” and “terrorism,” sentencing him to life in prison, where he remains after more than 20 years. Think about this: A man who could have shone in the world’s top academic circles, who could have lived a safe, respected life, was instead buried behind prison walls—simply because he refused to abandon his faith in freedom. This is not just his personal tragedy. This is the shame of an entire nation. And when we look at world history, we see a pattern: dictators always meet the same fate. Ceausescu, toppled by the people of Romania. Saddam, executed in Iraq. Gaddafi, dragged down from his throne in Libya’s deserts. Even today, Assad and Hasina—those so-called “old friends” of the CCP—are watching their power rot and their regimes crumble. They once seemed invincible. But in the end, all were swept into the garbage heap of history. Because in the modern world, dictatorship has no future. The CCP today may look strong—propped up by money, lies, and fear. But history has already written its verdict: its end will be no better than those who came before. So here’s the real question: Before the CCP collapses, what should the Chinese people do? And what should the free world do? For the Chinese people, we must remember: Silence is complicity. Forgetting is betrayal. It is because of people like Wang Bingzhang, Liu Xiaobo, Qin Yongmin, Xu Zhiyong, and so many others that the flame of hope has not been extinguished. For the international community, we must say loudly: The CCP is not just the enemy of the Chinese people—it is the enemy of all humankind. It infiltrates economies, manipulates public opinion, and undermines international institutions. Its goal is not only to crush the Chinese people, but to challenge the entire civilized world. Friends, Dr. Wang Bingzhang has used his life to show us the cost of freedom. History has shown us the fate of dictators. So today, let us raise our voices together: • China must be free! • The CCP dictatorship must end! • The world must stand with the Chinese people! Do not let Wang Bingzhang’s sacrifice be in vain. Do not allow history’s tragedy to repeat itself. Because resisting tyranny and defending human dignity is not only the responsibility of the Chinese people— It is the responsibility of all humanity. Thank you all. See you next weekend.
