🚨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.👇
Image
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. Image
Image
Image
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." Image
3/ One recent IG post highlights women in response to "the day Roe v. Wade was overturned." Image
4/ Kim's FB page is filled with left-wing and legacy media political narratives.

He follows a few hundred accounts, almost entirely left-wing politicians and media outlets, including:

Anti-Capitalist League, Axios, ACLU, SPLC, The Atlantic, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Robert Reich, Media Matters, Daily Beast, Cenk Uygur, Jill Stein, Elizabeth Warren, Occupy Democrats, the NYT, PBS, and NPR.Image
Image
5/ Kim was likely a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2016. Image
6/ He celebrated Trump's impeachment in 2019, posting "Hell yeah." Image
7/ His political posting intensified in 2020, centered around COVID-19 with ridiculous legacy media takes like:

"Lockdown is a privilege... Social Distancing is a privilege..." Image
8/ Throughout 2020, Kim posted extensively about BLM, white supremacy, defunding the police, and other progressive media narratives, like:

"Amidst the George Floyd protests... Police are more like attack dogs on a leash... [Asians] aligned ourselves with white supremacist ideals in the oppression of black people... We owe them a debt in blood."Image
9/ He shared a list of bail funds during the BLM/Antifa riots, encouraging donations:

"A list of organizations you can donate your money to help the cause."

He shared a Slate article titled:

"The Fight for Civil Rights is Never Nonviolent." Image
Image
10/ Kim praised efforts to defund police, posting about Minneapolis council plans to disband their police, commenting, "Protesting works. It has always worked," and showing support for BLM protestors' blocking highways. Image
Image
11/ He shared a meme titled "Recognize Racism," classifying subtle racism as:

"Calling Police on POC"
"White silence"
"Denial of White Privilege"
"Anti-Immigration Policies"

And labeling the phrases below as racist:

"I don't see color"
"MAGA"
"All lives matter"
"You're so articulate"Image
12/ He posted legacy media articles dehumanizing half the country, like this Newsweek article titled:

"Narcissists and psychopaths are more likely to refuse to wear masks"

And this Vice article titled:

"Anti-Maskers Might be Sociopaths, Says Study" Image
Image
13/ He apparently doxxed Derek Chauvin's home address, and shortly after the January 6th riot, shared:

"A list of the identity of the traitors at the attempted coup." Image
Image
14/ What drives someone with mainstream left-leaning beliefs to violence against Tesla?

Paul Hyon Kim likely once admired @elonmusk and @Tesla—after all, who has done more for climate change, electric vehicles, and renewable energy?

But when Musk backed Trump in 2024, the legacy media narrative Kim trusted transformed Musk overnight into a "fascist," "authoritarian," and "Nazi."

Relentless media propaganda branding Trump and Musk as evil has predictably radicalized some Democrats, pushing individuals like Kim to firebomb Tesla dealerships and vandalize electric vehicles.

Legacy media’s persistent demonization of Musk, Trump, and their supporters as Nazis, narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths fuels escalating division and political violence.

They want more assassination attempts, chaos, and hate.

Fortunately, Democrats like Paul Hyon Kim represent an ever-shrinking minority who still trust the legacy media's narrative.

But these Americans are increasingly conditioned to view their fellow citizens not just as political opponents, but as existential threats.

When MAGA gets labeled Nazis, neighbors become enemies, and society cracks.

Democrats lost the popular vote, the electoral college, and now some are losing their grip on reality.

Legacy media is pushing them into domestic terrorism, with people like Kim torching fellow Democrats’ Teslas while screaming about "ending the use of fossil fuels."Image

🚨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.Image

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👇 Image
Image
Image
Image
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.Image

🧵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.Image
Image
Image
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.Image

🚨THREAD: In recent weeks, Democrats and legacy media called Donald Trump Hitler and branded half the country that supports him as Nazis.

Hillary Clinton started by saying Trump and his supporters were "reenacting" a 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
2) Kamala Harris compared Trump to Hitler.

Tim Walz claimed a "direct parallel" between Trump’s supporters and the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
3) Democrats like Jen Rubin and Alexander Vindman compared Trump’s MAGA movement to Nazis.

Jim Stewartson even called Stephen Miller, a Jewish advisor to Trump, "a genetically reincarnated Joseph Goebbels."

The Lincoln Project hired billboard trucks to equate Trump and his supporters with Nazis.Image
