I’m writing this series that explains the “Big History” behind January 6th — and the real story spans decades. Here’s what happened, and why—and importantly, how we might keep it from happening again. This is Part 1 of 6. More soon!

davetroy.medium.com/the-big-histor…
And here's Part 2!
Part 3 is now available. Please read + share!
davetroy.medium.com/the-big-histor…
And now, part 4, where some major themes are brought together!
🚨 And... here is the beast at the center of it all. Part five of my six part series on the "Big History" behind January 6th: Molestation, Cancel Culture, QAnon, and the man that connects "I AM" theosophy and the Koch family.

And... part six, the stunning conclusion. With a coda coming soon, talking about what we might expect to see next.

‼️RFK Jr. is funded by Trump's top donor, Timothy Mellon. There is NO WAY they will leave RFK Jr in the race if he hurts Trump more than Biden. Only three options exist: 1) RFK stays in and harms Biden, 2) RFK drops out, 3) RFK and Trump team up.
So far, they are betting (1) is their best path forward. But there is no universe where RFK Jr is allowed to stay in if they think he will harm Trump. This is political technology at work — they're playing the system. This is a hack, and we have ample attack surface! Think!
And in case you are not aware of Timothy Mellon...

1/Reports indicate that the "Party for Socialism and Liberation" is active at the Columbia campus. @FBI Files from 2019 suggest this group may have affiliations with the PLO and groups trained in Palestine.Image

2/It also should be noted that while the FBI did look into PSL and its affiliate Red Nation in response to a field complaint, they ultimately recommended that no further investigatory action be taken. Image
3/PSL exhibits strong alignment with Russia and its various proxy messengers, supporting Putin's actions in Ukraine. More info here.

1/Claude Shannon’s information theory tells us that only data that reduces uncertainty (entropy) is actually information. And there is little reason to think that AI, which is trained on soup generated by humans and machines, can actually reduce uncertainty.
2/Therefore it is unclear that AI can produce anything novel; for it to do so, it would have to decrease entropy internal to the AI system itself, but because it is nothing but weighted training data, it would seem it cannot do that.
3/It is possible it could unveil insights about data within the training set that is improperly considered due to human cognitive bias. So that *could* be interesting, given a sufficiently large and original training set. But the idea that AI systems would…

I don’t have a lot to say about the campus protests. But here are some things we can observe.

• Many students on both sides of this issue have legitimate concerns.
• Some students have no grasp of the issues.
• There are various agitators and bad actors in the mix, making things worse.
• Colleges seem to be unprepared to deal with a toxic stew of protest and Active Measures.
• This all makes Putin and his allies very happy.
• Students will, as students do, get bored and move on, eventually.
• Let’s hope no one gets shot before then.
• The Uighurs would like a word.
• The best way for this to stop is for people to stop killing each other, and making any kind of peaceful resolution and coexistence impossible.
• We are on the brink of losing our democracy and this conflict is contributing, which may be considered a motive for some participants.
• Netanyahu seems uninterested in any sane outcomes. Neither does Hamas.

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.
