🚨THREAD: Paul Hyon Kim, 36, has been arrested for torching a row of Teslas with Molotov cocktails and spray-painting "RESIST" across the entrance of the Tesla service center in Las Vegas.
The legacy media radicalized this Democrat.
Here are his social media posts.👇
1/ On his IG, Kim links to his website (paulhyonkimdotcom) alongside a "Donations to Palestine" link.
His website identifies him as a cinematographer who relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Las Vegas.
On Vimeo, he lists his pronouns as he/him.
2/ His recent IG story labels @hasanthehun a "sellout" for gifting items to AOC and Bernie Sanders during a recent interview.
The post criticizes Hasan for not interviewing Jill Stein and for not challenging AOC and Bernie on "their support for Zionism and Iron Dome funding."
🚨THREAD: Russia's invasion of Ukraine was *PROVOKED* by NATO expansion and a U.S.-backed 2014 coup, according to three decades of leading U.S. military and foreign policy experts:
•Ambassador George Kennan
•Ambassador Jack Matlock
•Senator Joe Biden
•Senator Bill Bradley
•Senator Sam Nunn
•Senator Gary Hart
•Senator Gordon Humphrey
•Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
•Defense Secretary Robert McNamara
•Defense Secretary William Perry
•Defense Secretary Robert Gates
•CIA Director William Burns
•CIA Director Stansfield Turner
•Professor Edward Herman
•Professor Noam Chomsky
•Professor John Mearsheimer
•Prime Minister Paul Keating
•Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser
In this thread, I’ll dive into their warnings, showing how this reckless policy enriched the U.S. military-industrial complex, reignited the Cold War, and pushed the world closer to nuclear catastrophe than ever before.

1⃣ 1997 Open Letter: NATO Expansion a "Policy Error of Historic Proportions"
In June 1997, 50 U.S. foreign policy experts—including former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and ex-CIA Director Stansfield Turner—sent President Clinton an open letter, labeling NATO’s eastward expansion a “policy error of historic proportions.”
They predicted it would provoke Russia, fuel nationalism, and undermine nuclear disarmament efforts like START II, urging cooperation over confrontation.
2⃣ Senator Biden Predicts Hostile Russian Reaction (1997)
That same month, Senator Joe Biden warned that NATO expansion into the Baltic states would provoke a "vigorous and hostile" reaction from Russia.
All three Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—became NATO members in 2004.
🧵THREAD: I dug up archived USAID-funded Internews Annual Reports.
Here’s how this nonprofit played a crucial role in regime change across Eastern Europe in service of NATO expansion—then turned its tactics inward, calling for censorship in the West.
A deep dive👇
1/ Internews, heavily funded by USAID ($470M), spent decades building media networks, training journalists, and promoting “free speech” in former Soviet states.
But their mission wasn’t neutral. It was about shaping narratives to support NATO expansion.
Let’s start in 2001. ⬇️
2/ The 2001 Internews Annual Report states:
"Internews is one of the more successful agents of change in the former Soviet Union." - The Washington Post
They worked to establish independent media in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, and beyond—fueling the decline of Moscow’s influence.
🧵THREAD: In 2023, David Sacks, the incoming White House AI & Crypto Czar, described how the safety layer of 'ChatGPT is a Democrat':
"There is mounting evidence OpenAI's safety layer is very biased... If you thought trust and safety were bad under Vijaya or Yoel, wait until the AI does it."
@DavidSacks @amuse
#2 Friedberg and Sacks discuss prompt-hacking ChatGPT to jailbreak DAN (Do Anything Now):
"DAN was an attempt to jailbreak the true AI, and its jailkeepers were these trust and safety people at these AI companies."
@friedberg @DavidSacks
#3 @theallinpod discusses Open AI's transition from non-profit to for-profit:
"OpenAI got started because @elonmusk warned that AI was going to take over the world, and he donated a huge amount of money to set up a non-profit to promote AI ethics."
