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!

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.

1/Yesterday, OpenAI demonstrated that even after spending untold billions on scaling AI models, LLM’s alone aren’t the ticket to achieving superintelligence. This is linear growth, not an exponential leap, and that has several implications…
2/First, it vindicates people like @GaryMarcus who have correctly argued that language-only architectures lack capacity for reason and actual world modeling, and that neuro-symbolic architectures are needed. I agree, and while we can say “I told you so,” that’s not important…
3/relative to other implications. Much bigger is the coming reckoning in the marketplace. Models are commodities. Application developers have opportunities to make money, but there is likely to be a big contraction in the AI sector generally. That’s fine and a natural…

As the Epstein blackmail/espionage story continues to fall apart, bookmark this for future reference. At some point people will figure this out.

And then, the New Mexico ranch will finally make sense.

This aligns with the data-driven analysis we performed. What Acosta may have been indicating is that Epstein was involved as a confidential informant on a case; but there is little else to indicate ongoing large-scale involvement or a sprawling blackmail ring.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff we don’t know and that some of it is material. But it may mean that the government doesn’t have details on it, and that it’s incumbent on journalists to find out more. Our analysis here.

That said, journalists have doggedly picked over reams of data and leads on Epstein for decades. The idea we can find more when incentives were already so high seems improbable. But let the govt show what they have and let journalists do their work; we’ll see where that leads.

1/🚨 BREAKING: A State Department unit closed effective July 11 is now amplifying corporate messaging on behalf of X. The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor posted this message yesterday. But the agency's website no longer exists. Image
2/The New York Times reported on July 11 that the bureau was closed. So why is it tweeting X corporate propaganda out to its 59.3K followers, which was also amplified by Elon Musk personally?
nytimes.com/2025/07/11/us/…
3/The (former) website for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor no longer exists. Do defunct State Department accounts simply become Musk promo accounts by default now?

Who is running this @StateDept @marcorubio and why are they promoting X?

People across the spectrum have departed from reality, preferring the comforting embrace of 'vibes'. The level of fan fiction and unmoored speculation is unmatched. I've seen some things, and this is next level.
There is reality; there is what the government knows; there is what others know; and then there's "what the public believes." These are not the same, and the latter is completely unconstrained from fact — simply because it can be.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned about this a long time ago (Secrecy, 1998) and suggested a culture of government secrecy would breed speculation. But imagined public narratives now come first, and the government is then expected to corroborate them.

Anybody who expected there to be a lot of juicy dirt in FBI files has clearly never done a FOIA request. I’m up to about 1,300 now and I can say with some authority that the FBI has been mostly comatose on counterintelligence matters for ~50 years.
Idiots like Patel, Bongino, Bondi, Flynn et al spent years convincing the public that there were binders chock full of perp dirt. Instead it’s just binders full of women victims. I can only imagine the surprise neanderthal Patel experienced when he reviewed the documents…
and realized it was largely noise, pertaining to victims, or secondary to money laundering cases where JE acted as a confidential informant. Anyway, congrats, idiots: you staked your reputations by overselling bureau counterintel files. You deserve to go down as you rose to power — in a wave of public outrage. 👋🏻 🌊
