THREAD: @RobertKennedyJr explains how President Bush placed Dr. Anthony Fauci in charge of developing bioweapons for the Pentagon as part of the Patriot Act in 2002. In 2014, Obama shut down 18 of Fauci's gain-of-function experiments after lab leaks and 300 top scientists raised concerns about his dangerous experiments with "potential pandemic pathogens."

#3 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore: "They took the money that Cheney gave them [from the Patriot Act], $2.2 billion, and they funneled it through NIH, and it all went through Anthony Fauci. So beginning in 2002, Fauci got a 68% raise from the Pentagon for doing bioweapons development, and he got a raise of billions of dollars a year, and then he started doing all of this gain-of-function.
In 2014, three of those bugs escaped in high-profile escapes from different labs in the US. Congress held hearings on it. Everybody was angry, and 300 top scientists sent letters to Obama saying you got to shut down Fauci because he is going to create a pandemic.
So, Obama ordered a moratorium, and at that time, Fauci had eighteen different gain-of-function experiments he was doing around the US. He instead moved his stuff offshore to Wuhan, where he could do it out of sight of these 300 scientists and nosy White House officials who were trying to shut him down.
And he continued to do it with the same people he was funding here, Ralph Baric and Peter Dazak, and they moved their operation to the Wuhan lab."
#4 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore that after Obama shut down their bioweapons research, the CIA, DOD, and Dr. Anthony Fauci moved their coronavirus bioweapons experiments to the Wuhan lab.
"Fauci funded the study that taught the Chinese military scientists, everything in China is dual-use, that lab is a military lab, and he taught them cutting-edge technology for building weapons of mass destruction. In other words, the study for how to create the clones and how to create a spike protein that could attach to a human lung and transplant it onto a coronavirus.
He also funded through Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina a technique called seamless ligation which is a technique for hiding human tampering on that virus after you've done it. Fauci gave Baric $212 million, and Baric developed a technique for hiding the human tampering; Baric taught that to Shi Zhengli, the Chinese bat lady.
USAID gave ten times what Fauci gave. The DOD was there. Why were they in there teaching Chinese scientists how to build weapons of mass destruction? USAID is a CIA front group. Eco-health Alliance is a CIA front group. The CIA modeled this outbreak in 2019 twice, the second time at Event 201.
Who was at Event 201? Avril Haines co-hosted it with Bill Gates, and the head of the Chinese CDC, George Gao, was there. The virus was already circulating in Wuhan, nobody knew it, but George Gao had to know it; he was the head of the Chinese CDC and their number one expert on coronaviruses.
He comes to New York in October of 2019 and sits downs with Avril Haines, the former director of the CIA, today the Director of National Intelligence, the top spy in the country, and they do a four-part simulation, and the fourth part is George Gao and Avril Haines talking about how do we get social media to censor people if they say this is from a lab leak."
#5 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore that in 2001, anthrax was mailed to the two senators who tried to block the Patriot Act. The FBI later found that the anthrax came from the CIA lab in Fort Detrick:
"By the time they figured it out, they had already passed the Patriot Act, and we were in a trillion-dollar war in Iraq. What did the FBI say? The FBI said it was Ames anthrax, and the only place that it could have come from was the CIA lab in Fort Detrick.
It's clear that somebody associated with the Pentagon or the CIA had something to do with that anthrax because nobody had access except those groups."
#6 By 2003, the Bush administration was requesting $2 billion annually for biodefense, and President George W. Bush announced an additional $6 billion for Project Bioshield in his State of the Union address.
"I ask you tonight to add to our future security with a major research and production effort to guard our people against bioterrorism called Project Bioshield.
The budget I send you will propose almost $6 billion to quickly make available effective vaccines and treatments against agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, Ebola, and plague.
We must assume that our enemies would use these diseases as weapons, and we must act before the dangers are upon us."
#7 The Los Angeles Times reported that the "non-military biodefense research budget" jumped from $60 million in 2001 to $317 million in 2002. By 2003, the Bush administration was requesting $2 billion, surpassing the combined budgets for breast and lung cancer, stroke, and tuberculosis research.
The funds were to build high-security labs at universities and government agencies for work on "vaccines and treatments for biowarfare agents," but some experts raised concerns about the security risks of experimenting with these dangerous pathogens.
#8 Archived versions of the NIAID's Biodefense website show Dr. Anthony Fauci detailing how the Patriot Act put him in charge of the nation's biodefense infrastructure:
"Homeland security is a multifaceted endeavor, of which biodefense is a critical component. Our nation's ability to detect and counter bioterrorism depends to a large degree on the information generated by biomedical research on dangerous, disease-causing microbes and on the immune system response to these pathogens.
Much of this research is supported by the NIH and NIAID. The role of NIAID biodefense research is to develop the tools necessary to protect civilians from potential agents of bioterrorism. Since the fall of 2001, the NIAID has moved quickly to accelerate basic and clinical research related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases caused by potential agents of bioterrorism.
For fiscal year 2003, the President has proposed a $1.75 billion budget in biodefense research funding for NIH, which will enable the NIAID and other NIH institutes to expand ongoing projects and establish new initiatives as part of a comprehensive and sustained biodefense research program."
#9 In Dec. 2002, Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that the distinction between "biodefense" and "bioweapons" is merely semantic, explaining how his new role required him to learn the "ways of biowarfare" from former Soviet Union "bioweaponers":
"I found myself again, never imagining that I would be doing this, needing to learn from people that I never thought I would be learning things from, namely bioweaponers. People who are our own bioweaponers in the US decades ago, international figures, people from other countries, the UK, and also importantly, defectors particularly from the Soviet Union who had vast experience in the ways of biowarfare."
#10 "With the stroke of Bush and Cheney’s pen, all United States biodefense efforts, classified or unclassified, were placed under the aegis of Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci now had a virtual carte blanche to not merely approve but design and run the kind of research projects he sought — and could do so with no oversight structure above him.
Biodefense projects that formerly would have fallen under the authority of military or intelligence agencies were now under his direct supervision."
#11 "It’s this that explains one of the most bewildering irregularities surrounding Anthony Fauci: his compensation.
As widely reported, Fauci is the highest-paid member of the federal government, out-earning the President, four-star generals, senators, and Super Court Justices.
His salary roughly doubled that of his own (nominal) boss until recently, NIH director Francis Collins. Fauci’s giant pay packet can be traced back to 2004, the year after NIAID was made the country’s top biodefence authority agency."
#12 In December 2004, Dr. Fauci received a “permanent pay adjustment” to “appropriately compensate him for the level of responsibility… especially as it relates to his work on biodefense research activities.”
From 2004 to 2007, Dr. Fauci's salary increased by 68%, rising from $200,000 to $335,000 a year.
#13 In 2014, reports surfaced of major lab blunders at US government labs involving anthrax, bird flu, and smallpox:
"The United States has spent billions on the Project BioShield Act, a program meant to keep its citizens safe from bioterrorists.
Despite these good intentions, that program may have put the nation at greater risk of a homegrown disease escaping from a lab and quickly infecting millions.
That's because while the real threat of bioterror is minimal—there have been only a handful of such attacks in modern history, and none since 2001—the risk of bio-error is actually quite high."
#14 Over 300 top scientists, including four Nobel Laureates, wrote an open letter urging President Barack Obama to shut down Dr. Anthony Fauci's risky gain-of-function research.
The signatories were from leading institutions like Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Yale, MIT, UCLA, Oxford, and Princeton:
"Accident risk with newly created 'potential pandemic pathogens' raise grave new concerns. Laboratory creation of highly transmissible, novel strains of dangerous viruses, especially but not limited to influenza, poses substantially increased risks. An accidential infection in such a setting could trigger outbreaks that would be difficult or impossible to control."
#15 In October 2014, President Obama announced a pause on Dr. Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function experiments.
As @RobertKennedyJr told @jimmy_dore, this moratorium halted 18 gain-of-function experiments, according to NIH documents.
"The White House today stepped into an ongoing debate about controversial virus experiments with a startling announcement: It is halting all federal funding for so-called gain-of-function (GOF) studies that alter a pathogen to make it more transmissible or deadly so that experts can work out a U.S. government-wide policy for weighing the risks.
Federal officials are also asking the handful of researchers doing ongoing work in this area to agree to a voluntary moratorium."
#17 After the pause on gain-of-function research, Dr. Anthony Fauci, USAID (CIA), DOD, and other US agencies collaborated with Dr. Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Ralph Baric to transfer Fauci's coronavirus research to Dr. Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
A well-documented scientific paper trail shows Dr. Fauci funding Dr. Baric's bioweapons research and that knowledge being passed to Dr. Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan lab.
"The NIH decided the risk was worth it. In a potentially fateful decision, it funded work similar to Baric’s at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which soon used its own reverse-genetics technology to make numerous coronavirus chimeras. Unnoticed by most, however, was a key difference that significantly shifted the risk calculation. The Chinese work was carried out at biosafety level 2 (BSL-2), a much lower tier than Baric’s BSL-3+."
#18 That's why Senator @RandPaul accused Dr. Fauci of funding “supervirus” research in the US and making a "huge mistake” by sharing the knowledge with China.
Fauci denied the claim, stating: “The NIH has not ever, and does not now, fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
#19 But even Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC Director, told Congress that he believes Dr. Anthony Fauci used American taxpayer dollars to fund the bioweapons research that created COVID-19:
"I think it did — not only from NIH but from the State Department, USAID, and from DOD."
#20 That's why @RobertKennedyJr told @jimmy_dore that Dr. Anthony Fauci has been the 'American Czar of Bioweapons' since 2002.
I’m beyond thrilled at the prospect of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading the Department of Health and Human Services, ending regulatory capture, and Making America Healthy Again!
Our children are among the sickest in the world, our health agencies have failed us, and it’s time to start a new chapter.

🧵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."
🚨THREAD: The All In Podcast highlights Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, a bold effort to overhaul the federal government by reducing inefficiency, bureaucracy, and wasteful spending.
The plan focuses on reducing government inefficiency, bureaucracy, and wasteful spending through bold, rapid reforms spearheaded by the DOGE team working with the Trump administration.
1. Objective:
• Eliminate unnecessary regulations.
• Reduce administrative roles and save taxpayers money.
• Streamline government operations.
• The approach aims for a "lean team of small government crusaders."
2. Key Actions:
• Target $500 billion in unauthorized annual federal expenditures.
• Reform procurement processes by auditing payments and suspending them temporarily during reviews.
• Use executive actions based on existing legislation rather than passing new laws.
• Leverage two Supreme Court rulings (West Virginia v. EPA and Loper Bright v. Raimondo) to challenge and pause excessive regulations exceeding Congressional authority.
3. Methodology:
• Develop software-assisted tools and expert legal analysis to identify regulations for immediate suspension.
• Introduce accountability measures and create a leaderboard to track progress.
4. Challenges:
• The team has roughly 18 months to implement changes before midterm political pressures intensify.
• Strong pushback and litigation are expected, making fast and decisive action critical.
• The plan faces politicization despite its focus on efficiency and fairness to taxpayers.
5. Broader Context:
• The goal is to address the U.S. "debt death spiral" caused by decades of inefficiency and waste.
• Advocates argue these reforms are essential for long-term economic sustainability and should not be politicized. They emphasize the fairness and necessity of cutting wasteful spending for the country's future.
@friedberg: "What frustrates me is that everything they’re proposing seems obvious and right. I don’t understand how these points could be politicized. Forget the party, the individuals, or how we got here—this federal government needs to be run more efficiently. Wasteful spending, bureaucracy, and mismanagement are a tax on every one of us, our children, and our future. It needs to be fixed."
2) @DavidSacks highlights key reasons to be optimistic about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy:
1. Elon Musk’s Leadership:
• Elon’s deep understanding of how excessive regulations harm businesses could drive meaningful reforms.
• His influence through X as its largest account holder and his established Get Out the Vote operation provides a platform to push the initiative forward.
• Elon’s track record shows it’s unwise to bet against him.
2. Vivek Ramaswamy’s Expertise:
• Vivek’s business acumen and legal background as a Harvard-trained lawyer bring critical strategic and legal expertise.
• His influence is evident in the team’s legal roadmap, which focuses on leveraging executive actions and the court system, minimizing reliance on Congress.
3. Party Consensus:
• The Wall Street Journal’s endorsement suggests DOGE is gaining support across both populist reformers and establishment conservatives.
• This broad support indicates potential for unity within the Republican Party despite challenges like resisting pork-barrel spending.
4. Strategic Framework:
• Drawing inspiration from successful models like the military base closure process, DOGE could create mechanisms for fair and balanced cuts to unnecessary regulations and roles.
Outlook:
Although the initiative may not achieve Milton Friedman-level reforms, the combination of Elon’s and Vivek’s leadership, a carefully designed legal strategy, and growing bipartisan support within the Republican Party creates strong potential for meaningful progress under the current GOP trifecta.
3) @chamath believes that by aggressively reducing bureaucracy, slashing excessive regulations, and implementing bold initiatives like tax simplification, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could ignite an "economic renaissance."
1. Accountability and Symbolic Wins:
• By leveraging Elon Musk’s platforms, DOGE could create transparency and accountability in government spending.
• A powerful starting point would be halting vendor payments until thorough audits are conducted, addressing symbolic issues like overpriced goods, which builds trust and engages the public in government accountability.
2. The Regulatory Burden:
• California’s example demonstrates how excessive growth in government jobs correlates with a surge in regulations, stifling private sector growth and driving businesses away.
• Similarly, at the federal level, unchecked regulatory accumulation from federal agencies has created a massive drag on the U.S. economy. Regulations rarely expire, compounding the problem over time.
3. Economic Opportunity:
• The U.S. economy could grow significantly faster—potentially by 4-5% annually—if the regulatory burden were reduced. DOGE’s goal should be to eliminate unnecessary regulations entirely and rebuild from the ground up by reinstating only essential ones.
4. Tax Code Simplification:
• There’s public appetite for a flat tax system and a simpler tax code. Simplification could free up entrepreneurs and businesses to focus on innovation rather than navigating complex tax laws, as seen in Singapore’s efficient system.
• Simplifying the tax code could unlock significant economic growth, adding 1-2% to GDP.
5. Potential for Reform:
• By aggressively cutting bureaucracy and regulations and introducing bold changes like tax simplification, DOGE could spark an "economic renaissance," enabling innovation and growth while addressing systemic inefficiencies in government.
Conclusion:
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to streamline government, cut waste, and boost economic growth. With strong leadership, strategic planning, and bipartisan support, DOGE has the potential to deliver meaningful reforms and create a more efficient, accountable government.
🚨THREAD: Twelve Charts Show Why Donald Trump Won The 2024 Election
Inflation, Income, Net Worth, Taxes, Regulation, Immigration, War, Homelessness, Poverty, Afghanistan Withdrawal, Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Wealth Gap
@JDVance on @realDonaldTrump: "He was President, and take-home pay was going up faster than it had in 40 years. Inflation was low. The border was secure. And remember, they all said Trump was going to start World War III, and yet we had more peace around the globe than we had had in a generation in this country."
1) The Biden-Harris administration saw the highest inflation in 40 years.
Cumulative inflation surpassed 20%, driving up the cost of groceries, gas, and daily necessities.
2) Real median household income rose by $7,700 under Trump, compared to only $1,050 under Biden-Harris.
After twenty years of stagnation, real median income surged under Trump and flatlined with Biden.
BREAKING: Jeffrey Goldberg, the journalist who lied to the American public into the Iraq War and fabricated the "suckers and losers" hoax during the last election, has just launched his latest October hoax.
Once again, he's relying on anonymous sources.
Once again, it's a bullsh*t, made-up story.
Glenn Greenwald explains how Jeffrey Goldberg, the journalist who lied America into the Iraq War, became the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic:
"Let's remember that the journalist who did the most to convince Americans of the vital lie that Saddam Hussein had an alliance with Al-Qaeda and therefore led 70% of Americans to believe the lie that Saddam Hussein participated in the planning of the 9/11 attacks was named Jeffrey Goldberg...
He did that in two articles that even won journalism awards. He was put on NPR and every Sunday show to spread this lie... Jeffrey Goldberg did more to spread the false conspiracy theory that led to the Iraq War.
He also became ground zero for every Russia Gate fraud, and of course, Jeffrey Goldberg is not expelled from the mainstream media.
He's not writing at Substack. He's the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
He was rewarded with that position as a result of the lying he did on behalf of the U.S. security state... Journalists who spread CIA conspiracy theories get promoted, and journalists who question the CIA get destroyed."
Jeffrey Goldberg lied about Al Qaeda working with Saddam Hussein to deceive Americans into supporting the Iraq War.
He also fabricated the "suckers and losers" hoax using anonymous sources—a claim later debunked by dozens of officials who were with Trump that day.
Now, with his latest hoax once again relying on anonymous sources, it should be laughed out of the room, and he deserves to be ridiculed for lying to the American people yet again.
Also, what does it say about The Atlantic that its editor-in-chief is the same person who lied America into the Iraq War?
MUST WATCH:🚨 Watch this crucial 20-minute video featuring prominent Democrats, computer science professors, and election security experts discussing the vulnerabilities in America's election system.
They warn that the system is online, easily hackable, and often operates on outdated Windows 7 or older systems.
Key Points:
Easily Hackable Voting Equipment: All electronic voting equipment can be hacked as they must receive programming before each election from memory cards prepared on election management systems. These systems are often connected to the internet and run outdated Windows versions.
Spread of Malware: If a county election management system is infected with malware, it can spread to USB drives, which then transfer it to voting machines, scanners, and ballot-marking devices throughout the county.
Programming Practices: Most U.S. election systems are programmed by local county officials or third-party vendors. They use previously used USB drives on internet-connected computers before plugging them into scanners, tabulators, and voting machines.
Outdated Systems: In 2019, the Associated Press reported that most of the 10,000 election jurisdictions, including swing states, were still using Windows 7 or older systems for ballot production, vote programming, counting, and reporting.
End of Windows 7 Support: Windows 7 reached its end of life on January 14, 2020, with Microsoft stopping technical support and security updates.
Remote Access and Modems: Voting machine manufacturers have installed remote-access software and wireless modems, connecting voting machines directly to the internet. NBC News reported in 2020 that ES&S, the largest U.S. election machine vendor, had installed at least 14,000 modems.
Dominion Voting Systems: The second-largest vendor, Dominion, has publicly acknowledged using modems in their machines and running remote-access software during the 2020 election. For example, in Georgia, election worker Susan Voyles testified that Dominion employees operated remotely on ballot-marking devices and poll pads.
Findings from Wisconsin and Michigan: Investigations found Dominion and ES&S machines online and connected to the internet. In Michigan, a modem chip was discovered in an ES&S voting machine, potentially allowing hackers to intercept and manipulate election results.
Conclusion: Hackers can potentially infiltrate elections through vulnerable USB cards, election management systems, and voting machines themselves. This underscores the urgent need for securing America's election infrastructure.
#2 All electronic voting equipment is vulnerable to hacking because it requires programming before each election using memory cards prepared on election management systems. These systems are often connected to the internet and run outdated versions of Windows.
If a county election management system is infected with malware, it can spread to USB drives and then to all the voting machines, scanners, and ballot-marking devices in the county.
Local county election officials or third-party vendors program most U.S. election systems. They often connect previously used USB drives to internet-connected computers before using the same drives in scanners, tabulators, and voting machines that collect, count, and determine election results.
#3 In 2019, the Associated Press reported that the vast majority of 10,000 election jurisdictions nationwide, including numerous swing states, were still using Windows 7 or older operating systems to produce ballots, program voting machines, count votes, and report results.
Windows 7 officially reached its “end of life” on January 14, 2020, meaning Microsoft stopped providing technical assistance and security updates to address software vulnerabilities.
