🧵 THREAD: DOJ ADMITTED WHAT HAPPENED IN THE EPSTEIN CASE — IN ITS OWN FILES
Today DOJ released new Epstein materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Two documents matter immediately — because they are DOJ auditing itself.

Both are Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) reports.

“In May 2007, the AUSA submitted… a draft 60-count indictment against Epstein.” 📄 EFTA01726257, pp. 2–3
This permanently destroys the claim that there wasn’t enough evidence.

CHUCK JOHNSON UPDATE: Chuck has officially been released from jail.
Despite the Judge stating he didn't believe Johnson has purged himself of contempt, the judge has released Johnson after he signed 26 authorizations giving the court receivers access to everything from his bank accounts, phone records, and Apple and Google accounts.

Chuck Johnson appeared in court noticeably thinner and walking with a limp. Johnson's father told me he had "no expectations" today regarding whether Chuck would be released from jail. Chuck's father appeared visibly frustrated with the situation. While the court was proceeding, Chuck's father kept his eyes closed and head bowed down.
"I'm concerned about you. We have been trying to get information out of you for a year. As a father I was concerned you were held in jail over the holidays." - Judge Pittman
The judge also expressed concerns about Chuck's mental health stating he hoped Chuck would get a mental evaluation.

Principle of Narrative History:
Never change the event itself. Instead, decide what the audience sees first.
Structure and order carry more impact than facts alone.
This is how moral framing guides storytelling—an essential skill for writers, analysts, and narrative architects.

You're about to learn an expensive lesson.

Step 2: Cut bottom-quartile and median managers.
This is a hits-driven business where top-quartile funds capture almost all outperformance.
If you can't consistently access tier-1 managers, you're better off in liquid markets.
The "diversification" argument is debunked.

Step 3: Renegotiate fees or walk away.
2-and-20 made sense when PE delivered 15%+ net returns.
At 6-8% net, it's legalized theft.
Push for:
1-and-10 with higher hurdles
Fees on deployed (not committed) capital
Preferential terms for large commitments

BIG news from Bloomberg, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* some commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — the literal warehousing of people in converted buildings.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — the literal warehousing of people in converted buildings.
ICE has already spent $172 million to purchase two warehouses, one in Hagerstown, MD and one in Surprise, AZ.
ICE will then have to pay more to convert them into makeshift detention camps. Leaked reports suggest each of these two warehouses will hold 1,500 people each.

The Hagerstown and Surprise warehouse detention camps are set to be DWARFED by the purchase of a massive warehouse in El Paso where ICE wants to hold 8,500 people, making it instantly the second-largest jail in the entire United States (behind only Rikers Island in NYC).

🚨Soul Engineering and The Color Revolution🚨
How is the organization PolicyLink and its founder in residence, Angela Glover Blackwell, involved in The Color Revolution currently in progress in the United States and what @datarepublican calls, “soul engineering”?
📑PolicyLink released a document in 2024 called “A Revolution of the Soul.”
 It isn’t just calling for an outward dismantling of America’s current systems of governance and a refounding of the nation with a different system that works “for all” [socialism].
🫵It claims: “our next revolution must be OF THE SOUL: developing both the collective AND INDIVIDUAL SOUL to love all” so we can “make an evolutionary leap to build social, cultural, and governing systems that work in service of human flourishing.”
‼️What do they mean by this? How does one “engineer the soul” so that individualistic dyed-in-the-wool Americans and their country could be transformed to a nation and a citizenry that is willing to submit to a new governmental system that would require them to sacrifice and redistribute their wealth and resources for the “good of all”?

🧠 THEY HAVE TO CHANGE PEOPLE’S BELIEFS.
👀Notice in this video from the Inter-Movement Impact Project that is coalescing the various factions in the color revolution that they mention, “Beliefs,” as one of the unnamed “B’s” beyond the 4 B’s of the framework:
Belonging
Building
Bridging
Blocking
Unnamed:
Breaking
Beliefs
‼️They are currently employing the 4B Framework as a strategy in their color revolution against America‼️
🇺🇸 They are planning to use the celebration of America’s 250th birthday in a variety of ways to coerce citizens (especially youth) to accept a different spiritual and societal worldview; one that thinks we are INTERdependent as a nation and a people—not independent, as our forefathers declared.
📜It’s why their partner PolicyLink’s Angela Glover Blackwell helped write the Declaration of INTERdependence for her friend Linda Sarsour’s version of America250 called #Next250. PolicyLink’s current leader Michael McAfee is on the National Advisory Board for More Perfect who is “helping” states decide what partners and initiatives they should use to celebrate, many of which share the same goal of “soul engineering.”
See @iamlisalogan’s article on how these two initiatives (while they seem opposed) are actually two sides of the same coin: Part 2: The American Color Revolution Never Lets a Crisis (or a Celebration) Go to Waste. 👇🏼

🤜 🤛The Battle🤜🤛
🔮Angela Glover Blackwell of PolicyLink and John Powell remind the audience that the battle for the future is really about controlling how people in the U.S. believe the world is organized. “Soul engineering” seeks to change that view to a Daoist (Eastern religious-à la Buddhist/collectivist/non-dualistic) perspective, vs a Cartesian (Western religious à la Christianity/individualist/dualistic) worldview.
🪬🧘🏽♀️This Daoist view makes citizens more sympathetic to socialist policies while the Cartesian perspective drives citizens to prioritize protecting their individual rights and property more than giving those up to meet the needs “of all” via the redistribution of their wealth and resources.
How are they “soul engineering”?
