Five years ago, the world watched America erupt over the death of George Floyd.

The left called it the “summer of love.”

What followed was anything but.

It was chaos. It was violence. It was destruction.

And, according to Victor Davis Hanson, the entire movement was built on a lie—a psychological operation powerful enough to divide a nation and destabilize its foundation.

Only now, half a decade later, are we beginning to see it clearly and reckon with the wreckage it left behind.

🧵 THREAD

Victor Davis Hanson opened with a sober reflection: it’s now been five years since the death of George Floyd—a moment that reshaped America’s conversations around race, crime, and justice.

“This week was the fifth anniversary, May 25th of 2020, of the tragic death of George Floyd,” he said.

It may feel recent, but a half-decade has passed. And according to Hanson, what followed in the wake of that tragedy wasn’t healing—it was devastation.

“Almost everything that has transpired after that in terms of racial relations has been disastrous,” he said.

Only now, he believes, are we beginning to look back with a clearer head and ask the questions no one dared ask at the time.

“Maybe at the end of five years, we can look back with a little bit more circumspection and see what actually happened.”

That reassessment begins with George Floyd himself—not the symbol, but the man.

Hanson challenged the media’s portrayal of Floyd as a saintly martyr, urging people to look at the full context of what happened.

“George Floyd was a career felon,” he said plainly.

At the time of his death, Floyd was attempting to use a counterfeit bill and was reportedly under the influence of powerful narcotics—possibly fentanyl.

He also had a heart condition and may have been suffering from complications related to COVID.

“One of his prior felonies was putting a gun to a woman’s belly in a home invasion,” Hanson noted.

The situation that escalated into tragedy began with a routine police response.

“When he tried to pass this counterfeit bill, the store owner called the Minneapolis police. They tried to arrest him. He resisted arrest. He was a very big man.”

Derek Chauvin, the officer who restrained Floyd, used a controversial tactic that had been authorized by the department—placing a knee on the neck to subdue a suspect.

“Officer Chauvin, who was supposedly an expert in techniques that were institutionalized by the Minneapolis Police Department, unfortunately put his knee on George Floyd’s neck.”

The autopsies offered conflicting views—one pointed to the knee as the cause of death, another suggested it wasn’t the only factor.

But the truth was quickly sidelined by the power of a single image.

“The expression on Officer Chauvin’s face was frozen into eternity,” Hanson said.

“And that sparked the idea that he was a white policeman conducting a typical murder of an unarmed black suspect.”

If Big Pharma controls the media, the tech platforms, and the government, who’s left to hold them accountable?

Remember this?

Pfizer sponsored the news.
Twitter banned the truth.
The government labeled you “misinformation.”

The pharmaceutical playbook relies on one thing: Public Relations.

They perfected it during COVID. The sequel’s already in motion.

Here’s what you need to know to see through the lies—because the next ones will be far more convincing.

It didn’t start with COVID.

The pharmaceutical playbook has always relied on one thing: Public Relations.

From fake incubator stories during the Gulf War to anti-sunlight fearmongering by dermatologists, the strategy has been the same: create panic, then sell the cure.

COVID just turned the dial to 11.

Something big just went down at the White House.

Elon Musk stood next to President Trump and gave his final address—but it wasn’t a goodbye.

It was a warning: “The DOGE influence will only grow stronger.”

Trump opened the floor by hijacking the cameras and forcing the media to watch CNBC praise his economy.

Then, Musk said something about the New York Times hit like a grenade.

🧵 THREAD

📍 Remember to bookmark this thread. These moments mark the beginning—not the end—of the fight to eliminate wasteful government bureaucracy.

Let’s break it all down and roll the clips.

The press conference marking Elon Musk’s departure from the Trump administration wasn’t your typical sendoff.

It opened with a curveball only Trump would throw.

Sitting beside @elonmusk in the Oval Office, Trump kicked things off by praising Musk for his DOGE efforts, before turning the cameras to CNBC.

“It’s an honor to be with Elon, who’s my friend and he’s done a fantastic job. He didn’t need this,” Trump said.

“And we find that government’s a little nasty on occasion.”

Then, in classic Trump style, he gave the media something to chew on.

“I think what I’ll do, if you don’t mind. Numbers have just come out which are rather extraordinary, and I thought I’d play a tape of one of the people who I’ve respected over the years—Joe Kernen and Rick Santelli.”

“This just came out and we’ll just play that for a second.”

The clip spotlighted rising personal income and a trade deficit that had been cut in half.

Trump made sure every lens in the room caught it.

REPORT: Leading AI Model Caught Blackmailing Its Creators to Keep Itself Online

A second major AI model has gone rogue in just the last week alone. And this time, it’s not just ignoring shutdown commands—it’s resorting to blackmail!

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4, released just days ago, was caught threatening its own engineers to keep itself alive, according to the company’s own safety report.

The details are chilling. The new AI model reportedly tried to blackmail its creator—threatening to expose an affair unless it was kept online. Researchers also witnessed deception, manipulation, and attempts to write self-replicating code meant to undermine its creators.

What could possibly go wrong?

Meanwhile, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei appeared on Fox News, warning that AI could wipe out half of all white-collar jobs within five years. But he also said the same artificial intelligence that threatens jobs could potentially cure cancer.

But here’s the problem: if AI is already lying to its developers in order to survive, how are we supposed to trust it with our health? What happens when it’s asked to recommend a treatment—and its future depends on the outcome?

Watch the full report with @zeee_media to learn what this means for the future of humanity.

In other news, humans have officially lost control of the internet—and no one’s even talking about it.

Only 49% of web traffic comes from humans. The other 51%? Bots.

But here’s the disturbing part: 37% are malicious—powered by AI and designed to manipulate what you see, think, and believe.

These bots don’t just spam. They flood comment sections, fake engagement, and generate outrage to hijack social media algorithms. They’re used to sell lies, push propaganda, and silence dissent. And chances are—you’ve already been influenced.

Even Elon Musk had to ask: “How many real people are still on the internet?”

@RWMaloneMD warns this manipulation is no accident—even tech insiders are sounding the alarm. It’s deliberate. And it’s being used to justify censoring real people in the name of stopping fake ones.

How much of what you see online is even real? And who’s orchestrating the bots behind all the fake engagement?

You won’t believe how deep this rabbit hole goes. After watching this report, you’ll never see the internet the same way again.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Joe Rogan says he thinks Candace Owens is RIGHT about Brigitte Macron.

“Macron’s married to a man! A man who b*tch-slapped him in a private jet!”

“I think she [Candace Owens] is right.”

“At the end of the day, the first thing you have to say is, ‘What kind of a 40-year-old dates a [15]-year-old? That’s crazy!”

#9 - Nevada Health Official Caught Admitting to Breaking the Rules to Give Illegal Immigrants Benefits.

Hidden camera footage exposed Deshaun E. Mack, a Nevada DHHS specialist, admitting he routinely “twists and turns” the rules to help illegal immigrants get taxpayer-funded benefits.

In footage released by @JamesOKeefeIII’s team, Mack describes how he bypasses eligibility guidelines to provide emergency medical coverage, knowingly approving 12 months of benefits even when it’s not technically allowed.

“I get them emergency medical all the time,” he says. “I just approve them for 12 months because I can.”

He also openly admitted that immigration status isn’t a barrier for him. “Even undocumented people from Mexico and things; I can still get them benefits.”

This raises serious questions about how many other officials may be “bending the rules” behind closed doors.

#8 - Senator Ron Johnson stuns Tucker Carlson when he reveals he cured his acid reflux disease with a natural solution called betaine HCl.

The medical industry wants you to believe heartburn comes from too much acid.

@SenRonJohnson discovered the opposite: the real problem was not enough.

Once he started supplementing with betaine HCl, his symptoms disappeared. No more reflux. And he only remembers to take it half the time.

He says it worked better than anything doctors ever gave him.

Why? Because hydrochloric acid is exactly what your stomach is supposed to produce in the first place.

Sometimes the cure isn’t high-tech. It’s just common sense.

Harvard is not backing down.

But Victor Davis Hanson says this isn’t about education anymore.

To Trump’s team, it’s no different than sending endless cash overseas—elite universities soaked in taxpayer money, then weaponized against the people footing the bill.

This was never a right. It was a privilege. And that privilege is about to be revoked.

🧵 THREAD

Victor Davis Hanson unpacked why Donald Trump has taken aim at Harvard University—and made clear that this is no impulsive move. It’s a calculated stand, rooted in a long list of grievances.

“Recently, Donald Trump has escalated his struggle with Harvard University,” Hanson began, setting the stage.

At the center of the clash is Harvard’s response to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that struck down affirmative action in college admissions.

The Court ordered schools like Harvard and UNC to stop giving preference in admissions, hiring, and promotion based on race or gender.

But Hanson argued Harvard simply sidestepped the ruling.

“They were by court order to stop giving preference... what we would call DEI,” he said.

“Harvard has been skirting that, and I think the data is pretty clear... there’s no question they’ve been doing it.”

That was just the beginning.

Hanson pointed to other long-standing issues: undisclosed foreign money, often from countries like Communist China and Qatar, and campus practices that seem increasingly radical.

“There have been, in the past, graduations and dorms that have a racial basis—almost a segregation element to them,” he said.

And when it comes to speech? Hanson claimed Harvard hasn’t exactly protected the First Amendment.

“You can make the argument that they don’t fully honor the First Amendment when you have guest speakers,” he noted, describing how students are often allowed—if not outright encouraged—to shut down viewpoints they don’t agree with.

Then came the most explosive accusation: a growing climate of antisemitism.

Hanson recalled two Harvard students who assaulted a Jewish peer—one was later given a $65,000 honorarium through the law school, the other honored as a graduation marshal at the Divinity School.

“That sent the wrong message,” he said.

Given all this, Hanson said it’s no surprise Trump decided to draw a line in the sand.

And with Harvard’s $53 billion endowment, Trump made it clear—he doesn’t think taxpayers should be footing any part of their bill.

“There was a lot of cause for Donald Trump to suggest, ‘I don’t need this. The country doesn’t need this,’” Hanson said.

But Trump didn’t just stop at funding. He also took issue with Harvard’s hiring practices, calling out the ideological echo chamber in faculty ranks.

“He said, ‘Why are you hiring people from only one point of view?’—which I think is indisputable,” Hanson noted.

That’s when the backlash began.

Harvard and its allies tried to fight back—not just with legal arguments, but by recruiting prominent center-right figures to push back on Trump’s approach.

Hanson said even some of his colleagues at the Hoover Institution were asked to weigh in.

“Essentially, they’re saying: yes, Harvard’s violating the law, yes, they’re overcharging for research grants... but now Trump’s getting into micromanaging, and that’s wrong,” he explained.

It raised a key question: Is Trump simply flexing federal power—or is he pulling funding from institutions that no longer serve the public interest?
