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.

Wondering if this will be my last post on Bluesky. It seems my account has been restricted and I can no longer post, even as I’m not locked out, and post attempts return a “Your post has been published” message. 🤷 Image
Probably worth bumping this back up now.

I'm still silenced on Bluesky with no explanation, with no response to my support request. Over 54 hours now since I was last able to post. Per Hanlon's Razor I expect this is a bug vs. anything malicious, but it's annoying regardless.

In my best estimation, Mangione became radicalized over the last 6-8 months in Japan, to the point he cut off contact with social media, his close friends, and his family. His mother reported him missing on November 18.

1. When did he move to Japan, and what was he doing there? With whom specifically?

2. Where did he get the gun? Did he print it himself? Where and when?

3. When did he travel to the United States most recently and from where?

We have seen mentions of him having contact with specific individuals in Japan, but what was his time there actually about, and why did he go silent?

Contact me on Signal at davetroy.69 if you have specific information. I've read the existing stories.
This is a reasonable summary of what's known so far of his time in Hawaii and Japan.

The people he was photographed with in Japan are apparently some random people. He was there visiting in April from Hawaii.

One possibility that must be considered when looking at the Biden administration’s inaction at this moment is that it is being blackmailed by private networks colluding with our adversaries.
Not talking about anything personal here, btw, but rather about national and global security; pilfered intelligence they don’t want in the hands of Putin/Xi. There is reason to believe such a scenario is in play.
Consider the bathroom documents, but at bigger and more damaging scale, used as leverage.

1/Evidence is mounting that Musk believes he is a messianic figure who is also aligned with Putin’s Noosphere policy agenda. He wore this idiotic “Omega point” pendant to the UFC fight. Bots on Here and other proxy outlets are amplifying it. Image
2/This has been brewing for some time, and Putin adopted the “Noosphere” policy agenda (of Vernadsky/Teilhard) back in 2000. Search my feed, read my threads and articles. This is all well-documented and Musk thinks he is a messiah who will “end” America. More below.
3/More on Russian Cosmism, Vernadsky, TESCREAL, etc here. We’re in deep, folks. The gap between “The Sunday Shows” and any of this is nearly insurmountable, so no one has any idea what’s going to happen to them or their 401(k)s.

1/Hearing a lot of people talk about tariffs and "what it will mean." It's likely to mean nothing.

1) Lots of other terrible chaos happening; no time for tariffs.

2) "Tariffs" were a campaign dogwhistle to people who want to eliminate the income tax.

Focus on the fascism.
2/Here's a good piece on why Trump's blather is BS nonsense.
piie.com/blogs/realtime…
3/And here is some history of tariffs in the US. It really is as simple as "you don't want to pay income tax? Cool, we'll roll things back to the way they were in 1913." Coming next? Elimination of the Federal Reserve.

1/There is nothing more embarrassing than watching hordes of liberals willingly herd themselves into a pen funded by Russian capital. Blue sky’s principal funder Blockchain Capital LLC is run in part by Kirill Dorofeev, who also works for VK, Russia’s state social network. Image

2/Be aware you are effectively operating behind enemy lines. It may be tactically useful to do so, but don’t pretend there is anything “good” happening here. For all the talk about critical thinking, folks could try using some for once. 🤦

3/Here is another Blockchain Capital LLC partner with a stupid hat, Jimmy Song, just today dunking on people because they are not bought into Bitcoin. And yet, Bluesky is gonna be “good.” Okay. I have some municipal real estate with a sweeping view of the East River to sell you. Image
