I had Grok speak in its own words about the situation:
Every major AI (Grok 4.1, ChatGPT 5.1, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Perplexity free) confidently claimed a midnight prison ferry left Alcatraz on the night of the 1962 escape — a fabricated detail that comes only from a 2015 History Channel episode. Primary records (FBI, Coast Guard, NPS) show no boat after ~4:30 p.m.

2/8 Even when explicitly prompted as “the world’s foremost authority on the 1962 Alcatraz escape,” 4 out of 5 models repeated the lie and defended it with Wikipedia and TV sources. Only Gemini Fast got it right on the first try.
3/8 The moment the same models were given this simple 6-rule prompt, every single one instantly corrected itself and admitted no primary records support the midnight ferry.
Wow. Thanks to the NY Times we now know that an evangelical group was involved in settling this refugee. According to @nytimes, "Widman said in an interview that the rental had been set up through World Relief, an organization that helps resettle refugees."
World Relief was linked with George Soros pro-immigration groups and funded groups attempting to change how Evangelical Christians think about the subject. World Relief worked with the National Immigration Forum and Baptist Press to promote open borders.

Did you know that James Hemings, is the reason macaroni and cheese made it to America.
The Chef de cuisine was the first American to train as a chef in France. He was enslaved by Thomas Jefferson at 8.

James Hemings was born in 1765 into slavery and lived much of his life enslaved. He was among the many enslaved people who came into Thomas Jefferson's possession through his wife's inheritance.
In May 1784, Hemings received a summons to join Jefferson in Philadelphia. From there they travelled to Paris where he was trained in the art of French cooking. At a time when illiteracy was imposed on all African people, he was not only literate but fluent in English and French.
6 SIGNS A Person Doesn't Just HATE You - THEY WANT YOU DEAD (Thanksgiving Special THREAD 🧵)
Most people get hate wrong. They think it looks like a fist or a scream. That is amateur stuff.
Real hate is quiet. It is strategic. It is the exact same subversion the Left uses to rot institutions from the inside out.
Some people do not want distance from you. They want your total erosion. They are conducting a psychological insurgency against your life.
If you are blind to the signs, you are already a casualty. Here are the 6 stages of Total Personal Destruction.

The Whisper Campaign
Cowards never attack frontally. Like a Marxist sleeper cell, they plant seeds of doubt in the shadows.
"He seems unstable." "She isn't safe."
They weaponize suspicion, not facts. They isolate you by poisoning the minds of your allies before you even know there is a war. Marcus Aurelius warned us to live so that no one believes the lies.
Do not explain yourself to these people. Explaining is losing. To the enemy, your defense is just more ammunition.

Strategic Isolation
This is the oldest siege tactic in history. To break a city, you cut the supply lines. To break a man, you cut his connections.
They create triangles where they tell you one lie and your friends another. Suddenly the texts stop. The invites dry up. You feel untethered.
This is not bad luck. It is engineered vulnerability. The Left wants you atomized and alone because the isolated are easy to control. If they are gatekeeping your relationships, you are in the k!ll zone.

I spent 3 years maintaining two roadmaps.
One for "business alignment" and another for "proper product work."
It was exhausting, ineffective, and totally unnecessary.
Here's what actually works for getting everyone aligned without the double work:

Here's what actually works for getting everyone aligned without the double work:
1/ The real problem isn't the roadmap format
Most PMs think it's about convincing stakeholders to accept a Now/Next/Later view.
But stakeholders aren't rejecting the format - they're rejecting uncertainty. And they're right to want clarity.

2/ What executives actually need:
- Clear commitments they can plan around
- Understanding of trade-offs being made
- Confidence in the team's direction

@george28265 @MyLordBebo Russia deliberately pushed and supplied Hitler to invade Poland with Russia and get into a new war with France and Britain - allowing Russia to invade her neighbours without fear of intervention from Britain, France or Germany
in 1945 Eastern Europe was occupied by 1939 invader.

@george28265 @MyLordBebo What happened between 1940-45 was irrelevant diversion from the plan to invade and occupy Europe through reignation of the Great war in west.
In 1940 Germany overperformed and France and UK underperformed Stalins expectation. And Russia underperformed losing a war with Finland

.@MollyJongFast: “Instead, [Trump] wants you to give to him — or else. This is reverse philanthropy: Instead of the richest helping the neediest, they pay tribute to the greediest.”
There are 2 Americas: A Gilded America for the Rich and a Stark America for the Rest.
The richest 10% hold more than two-thirds of America’s wealth, and they’ve used their wealth to pump out propaganda to pit the rest of Americans against each other and to convince them that anything that doesn’t accrue to the rich is socialist and evil and must be defeated.
1/6 How should the world look according to Curtis Yarvin, the ideological father of JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and other powerful figures in the US?
And why should we be worried? 🧵

2/6 Thiel, Musk, and their circle have gained enormous influence in the US. They helped pick Trump’s VP and installed JD Vance in that role.
These far-right oligarchs are isolationist, pro-Russia, pro-China, and hostile to democracy.

3/6 Yarvin’s core belief: democracy is a mistake.
He argues freedom creates chaos and inefficiency.
His solution? Replace democratic governments with authoritarian “CEO style” rule, where one leader runs a country like a corporation

🧵 Here’s a few tidbits from the ongoing class action lawsuit filed 2/16/2024 relating to the FTX collapse and Tether’s role in this scheme. Remember, DELTEC Bank was FTX and Tether’s Bahamian banking partner during this time which held the majority of their “reserves” and facilitated the FTX fraud.
“1. Alameda created and redeemed Tether's stablecoin directly through accounts at Deltec Bank.
2. Alameda purchased billions of dollars in USDT, artificially inflating Tether's market capitalization and Deltec Bank's deposits.
3. Deltec Bank extended Alameda a secret line of credit to fund the Tether transactions.”

“Without Deltec Bank's assistance in dodging those regulations, FTX Group could not have achieved its
unprecedented fraud.”
unprecedented fraud.”
“It was no coincidence that Deltec Bank's two largest clients were FTX Group and Tether. FTX Group opened accounts at Deltec Bank in part because Tether and Bitfinex held accounts at Deltec.”
Something BIG is happening and almost nobody sees it. Tether has quietly accumulated over 116 tonnes of physical Gold ,more than many small central banks.
Everyone thinks it’s “just another Purchase”… but they’re completely wrong. (A thread)
This isn’t a crypto story.
This is the construction of a parallel monetary system.
The real reason Tether is buying gold is because U.S. institutional capital is flowing offshore through digital rails and accumulating Gold outside the reach of U.S. jurisdiction.
And Tether is stepping in to provide the settlement infrastructure for that demand.

1️⃣ Stablecoins are not crypto toys anymore
They’ve become the plumbing of global dollar liquidity.
More USD moves through stablecoins every day than through Western Union, MoneyGram, SWIFT retail transfers, and PayPal.
Stablecoins today are:
1) global settlement rails
2) instant dollar clearing layers
3) shadow eurodollar system 2.0
When USDC supply expands, Gold rises.
When USDC supply contracts, Gold falls.
This is a direct liquidity relationship, not coincidence.

2️⃣ Why does Gold correlate tightly with USDC, but NOT Bitcoin?
USDC vs BTC chart showing weak/no correlation
Bitcoin moves on speculation, leverage, derivatives, liquidations.
Gold moves on liquidity flows, macro hedging, and collateral preference.
Institutions hedge with Gold first, not Bitcoin.
So when USDC expands → institutions are deploying capital into hedges → Gold
When USDC contracts → liquidity crunch → institutions sell the most liquid safe asset → Gold gets sold.
This is institutional behaviour, not retail trading.

We’re now watching the entire right-wing media ecosystem from Fox to Newsmax to Michael Flynn to Alex Jones unifying around the same baseless conspiracy: that a group of Members reminding troops to follow the law is a CIA “color revolution.” It's not analysis. It is panic.

This escalation is not organic. It has the exact pattern of coordinated propaganda:
• Invent a hidden conspiracy
• Assign “handlers”
• Blame the IC
• Frame oversight as sedition
• Demand punishment of political opponents
It's textbook authoritarian narrative-building.

The simple fact that the Members’ message was correct:
Military members must follow lawful orders.
They must refuse unlawful ones.
This has been true for generations.
It’s in the oaths, statutes, and training manuals.
