The #Parler meltdown, a timeline:

Nov 13: I exposed opaque funding and Matze’s Russia ties

Nov 14: WSJ exposes Rebekah Mercer as funder and co-founder

Jan 6: Parler used to organize and amplify insurrection

Jan 8-9: Google and Apple remove app from stores
Jan 11: Amazon AWS terminates hosting; researchers harvest data

Jan 17: Parler puts up static page on Epik/DDOS Guard/Russian IP

Jan 21: House Oversight Chairwoman Maloney asks FBI to investigate Parler, its funding, and Matze’s Russia ties

Jan 29: Mercer + board fire Matze
Feb 3: Matze reveals he has been fired; Bongino denies, incorrectly

Even if it can somehow get back online, it will never be a viable company without implementing real moderation practices. Mercer seems intent not to do so. Parler is, without a serious upheaval, over.
And in case you missed this news.

Here's the Nov 13 thread that kicked things off...
And now House Oversight's @RepMaloney has asked for even more documentation from #Parler.

1/Vladimir Kryuchkov was literally Putin’s boss, and he recruited Donald Trump, Robert Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein. His goal was to export Communist Party funds to Western banks. Why? Because the USSR was crumbling and they had no private banks in Russia.
2/Mikhail Gorbachev served a purpose here: open up channels to the West and make Russia approachable. ‘Glasnost’ and ‘Perestroika’ lured gullible Americans to Genrikh Borovik, Kryuchkov’s brother in law, a KGB agent who ran the Soviet Peace Committee.
3/It was through these channels that Kryuchkov would attempt to establish beachheads of influence in the West, channeling funds towards Russia friendly projects. Putin, Kryuchkov’s junior lieutenant, would be the ultimate beneficiary of these investments.

Jeffrey Epstein was a cutout who replaced Nikolai Kruchina, Robert Maxwell, and Leonid Veselovsky in Kryuchkov's $50bn+ KGB money laundering operation.

Kruchina got pushed out a window, Maxwell fell off his yacht, and Veselovsky went on to help Trump finance building projects.
This is, it seems, where Epstein got his money.
The failed August 1991 coup was the tipping point that led to Kruchina and Maxwell's deaths. This is the reason Epstein and Maxwell converged in 1991, and why it is such a pivotal year. It was the coup. Epstein was already running his own KGB thing prior, however, it seems.

It should be noted that Mike Johnson has no reported bank accounts and was funded by a co-author of Project Russia. Johnson’s job is to terminate the House, and he’s done it, for now.
Project Russia. Folks should have listened.

Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.
The reason these 'files' will never be disclosed is that no one can deal with the reality of what's actually happened. The sexual stuff is a sideshow compared to this broader story arc, and rooted mostly in Epstein's own deviancy. But it's very noisy and creates leverage.
The investigation by @RonWyden of 4,725 wire transfers totaling >$1.1bn is our best hope of nailing this down. But we should expect that the bulk of this has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with influence and KGB subversion.

1/Russia and Thiel are done with Trump: Khanna, Massie, Greene, Boebert, Mace, Sherman, McGovern sign discharge petition to force release of Epstein files; will create significant public pressure for dirt on Trump, which will likely be difficult to fulfill.
2/Meanwhile Johnson, who is backed by authors of Project Russia, is running his own parallel game w/House Oversight, promising to release even more. But neither camp is talking about Sen. Wyden’s investigation into Epstein’s $1bn+ money flows that would reveal the full scope…
3/of his activities, which include infiltrating scientific research institutions in the same manner pursued by Robert Maxwell. Outside the prurient and illegal sexual activity, this is where the biggest story lies, and you can expect that Russia, Thiel and their allies…

1/Increasingly bothered by the argument that the path to “intelligence” requires the theft of all known intellectual property. That’s not anything but theft, and if you were actually building “intelligence” it theoretically requires near zero training data.
2/If, as proponents argue, we are simulating human intelligence “in silico” then we should be able to build what amounts to a 12 year old’s mind. A 12 year old can be extremely “intelligent” (genius level in fact) but has necessarily trained on very little data.
3/Few are talking about solving that problem, because we really haven’t figured out the neuro-symbolic architecture to do it. Instead, we are vacuuming up copyrighted works (stored intellectual work of others) and billing that as “PhD level intelligence.” What utter bullshit.
