How it started How it's going
This tweet had nearly 26k shares. He said there was going to be a "final solution" in which a third of Uyghurs are exterminated and the rest enslaved and exploited.
This is what he claimed would be done with those who weren't exterminated:

The financial elite hate crypto not because crypto itself poses a threat to their empire, but its existence is destroying trust/belief in the "realness" narrative of money among regular people. Bitcoin is imaginary, but it's worth real money. Why? Because money is also imaginary.
The complexity of the markets is absolutely essential in controlling the narrative around why a few live like kings while the rest work like slaves just to keep a roof over their heads. You, regular person, are not meant to understand it. Because if you did it could not continue.
If you define crypto as shares it makes it clear that shares don't need to be based in any kind of physical reality in order to create "value" in a market-based system. Crypto as currency makes it clear that currency doesn't need the trade of a national economy to back it.

Let's Argue About Bisexual Superman

Let's argue about bisexual Superman
while the world burns,
while they prepare us for war with China,
while they take away our rights,
while they steal more and more of our power and our wealth,
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/lets-argue-a…
while they rape our minds with advanced propaganda systems
to shape us into pawns in a global chess game.

Let's argue about bisexual Superman
to avoid our fear of an unfathomable future,
to compartmentalize away from how nothing makes sense anymore,
to sedate the creeping sensation that everything we've been taught is a lie,
to squeeze off the strangled cries of that sacred child within us,
to hide from the insight that we are one with every part of this mess.

Things are so deeply, deeply fucked in so very, very many ways, and they are getting worse so very, very fast. And because status quo narrative control is so effective, hardly anyone is even aware of this. If humanity makes it out of this mess alive, it will look like a miracle.
But also, there is so very, very much we do not understand, and humans have so very, very much untapped potential we simply haven't woken up to yet.

There is plenty of room for future miracles to be hiding in all that space.
We are where we are because of our collective conditioned behavior patterns. Any movement away from our self-destructive patterning will necessarily come from an unpatterned direction, and will therefore be unexpected and unanticipated. That's why it will look like a miracle.

Oh Great They're Putting Guns On Robodogs Now

"So hey they've started mounting sniper rifles on robodogs, which is great news for anyone who was hoping they'd start mounting sniper rifles on robodogs."

At an exhibit booth in the @AUSAorg annual meeting and exhibition, Ghost Robotics (the military-friendly competitor to the better-known Boston Dynamics) proudly showed off a weapon that is designed to attach to its quadruped bots.
"Due to its highly capable sensors the SPUR can operate in a magnitude of conditions, both day and night. The SWORD Defense Systems SPUR is the future of unmanned weapon systems, and that future is now."

The Science Of Propaganda Is Still Being Developed And Advanced

"So they're not just employing mass-scale psychological operations on the public, they're testing them and learning from them."

The Science Of Propaganda Is Still Being Developed And Advanced (Audio)

"We live in a far less free society than most of us think."

It LOOKS like we're free. We don't get thrown in prison for criticizing our government officials. We can vote for whoever we want. We can log onto the internet and look up information on any subject we're interested in. If we want to buy a product we can choose from many brands.
