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/Re: RFK Jr, folks need to understand he is a serious problem. If he stays in the race as an independent, early polls indicate he draws more from Biden than from Trump, to the tune of ~5-7% vs. ~1%. So he has the potential to be a spoiler that gives Trump a win.
2/Second, he is being run by the same people that are running Trump, but appealing to an odd mix of older New-Age boomers and younger, online Musk acolytes. He will harm Biden, and Trump only minimally. And the Kennedy name is a prize they can't resist.

3/Third, there is a very real possibility the RFK Jr. camp will overtly join forces with the Trump camp at some point in the future, if they deem it strategically advantageous. They are already aligned behind the scenes — they share Putin's worldview.

Putin is trying to complete a strategic takeover of the United States and use nuclear force to reorder the world. Every other current we observe is a means towards realizing that end. This is the realization of a KGB design that originated in ~1946.
Whatever else you think is going on, I urge you to zoom out, adjust your assessment, and comprehend a reality that is so much worse.
This is all about nuclear force. There is no greater human lever. What exactly did anyone think would happen when these weapons landed in the hands of gangsters with no pretense of constraint? Gangsters will do what gangsters do: use force to take control.

1/To understand why RFK Jr is babbling about Aaron Rodgers, it's necessary to understand Rodgers' relationship with Shailene Woodley and her background at Standing Rock. In short, all one network of weirdos with cultic tendencies.
2/As you may know, Rodgers and Woodley were a thing. It appears to have had some effect on him.
cnn.com/2023/01/24/ent…
3/Woodley was part of a particular subnetwork of activists at Standing Rock that included Mikki Willis (Plandemic), Lisa Clapier (QAnon), and Sean Stone (son of Oliver) back in 2016-2017.

1/🚨 Let me be clear: the people with actual power who are trying to take strategic control of the United States have no actual interest in Jesus or Christianity. Christian factions are being used as a means to an end. The goal is Noocracy, not theocracy.
2/Credulous Christian factions are going to be mighty surprised when they find out they got played. Do you think Putin or Musk or Trump care about Christianity? No. Religions are cults and get used in geopolitics as a means to an end. Doctrine is always subjugated by raw power.
3/More on Noocracy here, or "rule by the wise," which in this case is going to mean Putin, Musk, Trump, and a network of other narcissistic, Machiavellian strongmen. WIDEN YOUR VIEW beyond the Christian nonsense; it is but a PART of the bigger picture.

1/Those interested in how the GOP was captured by the KGB/FSB should dig into Doug Burleigh’s longtime evangelism in Russia, going back to 1965. He is now head of the National Prayer Breakfast / “The Family.”

cjonline.com/story/news/pol…
2/Then dig into Doug Coe, long time head of the prayer breakfast / Fellowship Foundation / Family, who was palling around with the KGB’s Genrikh Borovik in the mid 1980’s with New Age “futurist” Barbara Marx Hubbard, and oil/gas prospector Paul N. Temple.

3/Then understand that Barbara Marx Hubbard convened a meeting with Doug Coe, Paul Temple, and other new agers at Gold Lake in October 24-27, ‘87 where they apparently agreed to cooperate on a New Age / Christian alliance.

1/Noticing that there are two camps in US politics: those concerned primarily with institutional matters (laws, courts, process, elections, capture), and those concerned with cultural capture and breakdown (civil war, terror, mass delusion, occult hysteria, disinformation).
2/If we are going to survive intact, we need to be looking at BOTH of these phenomena simultaneously. To do otherwise will be to suffer a massive failure of imagination. Primarily, we should not pretend that institutional remedies (like elections) alone are sufficient.
3/They have not been so far, and as we have seen, our institutions are subject to capture, mass delusion, and epistemological schism. We are in a full blown internal war on reality. We need to act like it. A full spectrum approach is needed if we are to survive it.
