In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sent the President of the United States a formal proposal to commit acts of terrorism against American citizens and blame them on Cuba.

This isn't a "conspiracy theory". It was an official government document. Here's what it said.

THREAD 🧵

The context matters. It was early 1962. The Bay of Pigs invasion—a CIA-backed attempt to topple Fidel Castro using Cuban expatriates—had collapsed in humiliation the previous April. President John F. Kennedy was being pilloried by hardliners. The military was furious.

One contemporary report captured the mood bluntly:

"The Bay of Pigs fiasco broke the dike."

"President Kennedy was pilloried by the super patriots as a 'no-win' chief."

"The [right wing] became a fount of proposals born of frustration and put forward in the name of anti-communism. Active-duty commanders played host to anti-communist seminars on their bases and attended or addressed right-wing meetings elsewhere."

The stage was set for something extraordinary.

On March 13, 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff—led by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer—submitted a formal memorandum to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.

Its title: "Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba"

Its contents: a menu of proposed false-flag operations designed to manufacture a pretext for war.

The document was classified. It would remain secret for roughly 40 years.

Britain doesn't have a compulsory digital ID. The government is just building one, embedding it across every public service, and calling it "voluntary". That distinction is doing an enormous amount of work.

THREAD 🧵

The Cabinet Office has published a consultation document ("Making public services work for you with your digital identity") setting out plans for a digital ID system to serve as the foundation for accessing modern public services across Britain.

The ministerial foreword frames the existing system as broken: too many call centres, too much paperwork, too many times citizens must repeat themselves to different arms of government. The digital ID, we are told, is the fix.

It will be free. It will be secure. It will be useful. It will be voluntary.

It always starts out as "voluntary".

Here is the problem with "voluntary" when the government controls what you can access.

If the digital ID becomes the foundation for public services—as the government's own consultation document explicitly states it will—then declining it isn't a neutral choice. It's a choice to be excluded. Friction is compulsion with better branding.

THREAD 🧵

Tucker Carlson caused quite a stir last year with his release of The 9/11 Files, a documentary mini-series casting doubt on the official 9/11 narrative.

But he was right to question the official narrative—it's riddled with holes, contradictions, and unanswered questions, and to pretend otherwise is an insult to both memory and reason.

Let's start with the allegation that Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset, and that Al-Qaida itself was born out of Operation Cyclone—a CIA program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War.

In 2005, Robin Cook—British Foreign Secretary from 1997 to 2001—wrote in The Guardian:

"Throughout the 80s [Osama bin Laden] was armed by the CIA... to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally 'the database', was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians."

Conveniently, Robin Cook died under suspicious circumstances just one month after those words were published.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, played an instrumental role in Operation Cyclone—funneling an estimated $3–6 billion in weapons and support to the Afghan mujahideen—from which Al-Qaida later evolved.

In a 1998 interview with French news magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, Brzezinski was asked if he regretted promoting Islamic fundamentalism and providing weapons and support to future terrorists.

His response was chilling:

"What is more important in terms of world history? The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet empire? A few Islamist hotheads or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?"

I got Grok to tell me why I'm being throttled so heavily.

Apparently, my account has been algorithmically classified as "problematic". According to the system, my content falls under "Conspiracy Promotion" with a secondary label of "Health Misinformation".

In plain English, that means I am having my reach massively suppressed for questioning "official narratives on climate, health, and politics, potentially encouraging distrust".

The algorithm is penalising me for criticising governments and global organisations—framing them as systems of control rather than benevolent and infallible power structures.

On the health side, I'm being flagged for promoting "unverified or debunked claims related to health topics, like alternative medicine views or skepticism toward mainstream medical advice".

For example, "vaccines causing autism" and "endocrine disruptors in everyday products".

As a result of all this, my content is being given a low priority in the For You feed, meaning it's rarely pushed to new audiences.

My search visibility is restricted, so people actively looking for related topics are less likely to find me.

There's also a hidden reputation score attached to my account that's been marked as "moderately reduced", which affects everything from reach to engagement potential behind the scenes.

Reply deboosting is actively enabled, with medium severity. This means my replies—and replies to my posts—are less visible in threads.

Overall, the system labels my reach suppression as "moderate". Fewer impressions. Fewer non-followers seeing posts. Slower growth. Lower engagement.

The key point is this: I haven't been banned, muted, or warned. I'm allowed to speak, just not to be heard or seen—all for questioning narratives the algorithm is designed to protect.

"Freedom of speech but not freedom of reach", and all that. 😳

The Britain we once knew is slipping away before our eyes. What started as whispers in dystopian novels has become front-page headlines. Every adult in the UK will soon be expected to carry a government-issued digital ID card. Not by choice. By law.

THREAD 🧵

They're calling it the "Brit card". How perfectly British to give such a soft label to something so sinister.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will announce the plan today. No referendum. No say for the average Brit. Hardly surprising, really—who at Number 10 would dare ask the people? Because any sane person would reject outright handing yet more power to a hall of bureaucrats, surrendering liberty for a litany of promises.

The official story may sound reasonable at face value. Combat illegal immigration. Make it easier to verify work eligibility. Protect the borders. But scratch beneath these surface-level excuses and a different picture emerges. This card won't exist in isolation. It'll be connected to everything. Jobs. Homes. NHS records. National Insurance numbers. Even driving licences. All bundled into one "convenient" app that the government controls completely.

Think about what that entails. Every transaction monitored. Every movement tracked. Every interaction recorded. They'll know where you work, where you live, when you travel. They'll know if you're buying medicine, booking holidays, or simply trying to rent a flat.

And no, this isn't mere speculation—the plan is to create a centralised digital ID that becomes the key to accessing essential aspects of daily life, from work and housing to healthcare and other vital services.

Keir Starmer’s private life has drawn unwanted attention of late—three young Ukrainian men have been charged with arson attacks at properties linked to him.

But the real scandal is how such an unremarkable man rose to power, and who put him there.

THREAD 🧵

How does a man so maddeningly mediocre, compromised and uninspired ascend to the most powerful office in Britain? The short answer is that he was groomed for it. Sir Keir Rodney Starmer, endlessly parading his “toolmaker’s son” fable, didn’t climb to power by talent or conviction. He was carried—shielded, protected, advanced—by an establishment that saw in him the perfect instrument: bland enough to be forgettable, pliant enough to be useful, ruthless enough to serve their ends.

His record as head of the Crown Prosecution Service tells the real story. Jimmy Savile escaped justice under his watch—files were destroyed, charges were never pursued. Victims were ignored while Starmer nearly rubber-stamped the decision not to prosecute. Meanwhile, Julian Assange was pursued with obsessive zeal,with one CPS lawyer even warning prosecutors not to “get cold feet”. Justice for predators connected to power was abandoned, but punishment for a dissident publisher was pursued relentlessly.

Likewise, serial rapist John Worboys was spared further charges, Ian Tomlinson’s killer was initially left unprosecuted, and MI5 agents implicated in torture were protected. Yet poor people accused of benefits fraud? Starmer changed CPS guidance so even the most minor cases could mean a decade in prison. That’s not impartial justice. It’s class justice. Deep State justice. Starmer’s justice.
