ICYMI: Chris Roberts confirmed something sources told me back in Dec 2017. That SQ42 wasn't coming out in 2018.

But his latest broadcast has more clues at to the impending disaster, than meets the eye...

I transcribed this amazing statement he made as part of that broadcast.

I mean, just read that. Then think. Would you EVER hire this guy, let along put him in charge of ANY project?

This is why after Microsoft kicked him out over a decade ago, he didn't come back to gaming as no publisher would EVER work with him.

It's why EA and others turned him down in 2011 when he went looking for funding for what became Star Citizen.

Then he went to crowd-funding.
This post from OSC over on Reddit, is spot-on, regarding this statement he made.

That exact statement appears at @ 55:41

If you missed this amazing montage that someone put together a few days ago, you should watch it. It's amazing.

"Star Citizen - A Brief History Of Lying"

I wasn't sure if I should be laughing as hard I was when I watched this.

THESE are the SAME guys who were supposed to be holding Chris accountable all these years; instead they kept attacking us for blowing the alarm.

They have petition to go with it. They can't even get the dates right.

Guys, Oct 2012 to Oct 2018, is SIX years.

Who remembers back in 2015 when I said the project was doomed unless they got rid of Chris Roberts? These same guys were all attacking me over it. Now here we are, 3.5 yrs later. It's almost as if they weren't paying attention.

If this is anything as good as the one (from Fox and Kesmai) we played back in the day online on a 2400 bps modem, I'm in! But these days, it's too much to hope for.
For those of you not old enough to have played it, this is Aliens Online. It was THE game back in the day. Scary as hell. Most of us had to choose Ramen noodles vs paying the online bills when playing this.

Good times.

Who else remembers this?

Back then, we learned to swear in several foreign languages. Usenet kinda helped with that. Primarily because you'd fire a shot, think you killed the other guy - only to be declared dead seconds later due to lag and such.

So much fun. They don't make them like they used to.

I have seen people asking "Well, what's this to do with Mueller investigation?".

Everything.

She's a confirmed Russian agent, meeting with & lobbying Trump associates for policy change wrt Magnisky Act in exchange for dirt on HRC. Prevezon case is also linked to the MA.
Plus, she was also lobbying with traitor Rohrabacher, to lift sanctions also related to various Russian bad actors, some of whom were also subject to the Magnisky Act sanctions.

It's ALL connected.
This indictment (18 pages) is pretty specific; and confirms not only that she was a Russian asset meeting with Trump associates, but that she's now indicted for lying & fabricating evidence in the Prevezon case.

I walked away from 💸 when I left google, but I’ve never regretted it. What I got back in emotional well being and optimism for my career is worth way more.

None - NONE - of the stuff that has come out by individuals, from the Damore memo to this latest expose has surprised me.
I have mentioned pieces but I’ve never talked in depth about the full experience. I finally told @pomeranian99 last year for his book that is coming out soon. You can read it in that if you want; I’ll doubt I’ll ever talk about it again.
I didn’t think we would get into it that much, actually I didn’t think I had that much to say. We ended up having to do a second phone call and getting into it was traumatic, getting the fact checking email was like _woah_. It took me a week to even read it.

THREAD: Tonight was the first night that I saw @RepKevinBrady answer questions without pre-selecting the questions. Here is the breakdown.
1/ Typically @bradyfortexas doesn’t host public town halls. He will pick his audience (think oil and gas employees, conservative groups, etc) and go speak to them, in which there is either a fee to get in or you have to be an employee of the company.
2/ Tonight was different for two reasons: 1) he spoke to a Woodlands village association (open to the public), and 2) it was announced about 2 weeks ago. Typically he will only give a 2-3 day heads up for a public event if he holds one.

OK: following, my thoughts on Google Brain and similar institutions. Disclaimer: this is my opinion, as someone who doesn't need their funding, and has built a career without needing to flatter them. (An anti-disclaimer, if you will.)
I grew up in the Bayesian era—I watched @DavidSpergel and his band of merry scientists change our view of the world with a few simple, theoretically-motivated equations.
That's what I brought to the table when I went out to study living and thinking systems. Around 2010, of course, the deep learning revolution became impossible to ignore.

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory

Based on weeks of research, and the discovery of new details today, I believe there is more to the Trump Tower Moscow deal than meets the eye.
Apologies for the lack of content recently - but there is a lot going on behind the scenes. I hope to be able to share some of my findings in the upcoming week.
Huge sums of money flowed from the Russian state bank Sberbank to the developer after Trump agreed to the Letter of Intent.
