(THREAD) Erik Prince—Trump advisor; ex-head of a murderous mercenary army; would-be head of Trump's private spy agency; would-be head of a privatized U.S. army—is a dangerous liar. He just testified under oath. This is a live reading of the transcript. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ Not only did Prince appear without counsel—though he could be charged with a crime for any lie he told—he told the House Intel Committee he had no plans to *hire* an attorney. In the situation he's in—and given who he is—that statement is actually chilling. I'll tell you why.

This motherf***** couldn't tell you what DEI is if his f****** life depended on it

Stop paying attention to people who have no f****** expertise in the s*** they are talking about

Just because someone says something that makes you feel good does not mean it has f****** value
America is in the shitter because we have people who have never read the Constitution talking about the Constitution, people who do not know what the Second Amendment says talking about the Second Amendment, and people pretending to know what Marxism and socialism are who do not.
Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about CRT know what it is.

Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about the Green New Deal know what it is.

MAGA is weakness. It is foisting your stupidity on the world because you simply cannot face it.

Bezos is paying the Trumps $40 million to make a documentary on Melania that no one asked for or wants and is certain to obscure any interesting fact—like her initial immigration status, whether her marriage is a sham, Trump’s affairs—a viewer might want.

Seems like... Bribery?
To put this in perspective—I’ll use myself as an example only because I know my situation best—I wrote the largest number of bestsellers about Trump of any author (tied with Woodward). Do you think Bezos—who follows me on Twitter—would pay $40 million for the rights? Or even $40?
My point isn’t about me. I make no effort to shop the Proof Series rights.

My point is Bezos knows me: and I know, he knows, everyone knows he could get rights to a 3,500-page bestselling epic on the Trumps for 400K—1% of what he’s paying for Melania’s lies—and it won’t happen.

I have no quarrel with Tosca, but she's not objective in this.

Many people are worried about Musk, and my opinion—just as a person, rather than a historian, attorney, journalist, retired professor, editor, author, and biographer of her brother—is that he needs his family's help. Image
I'm not a doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist; my PhD is nonmedical. But I was also a public defender for years and years, so I have worked for and with and around individuals suffering from mental illness more than most readers will know. Musk is acting in a very troubling way.
His employees came close to calling in a police-conducted wellness check, per a recent book. He has admitted to both being mentally ill and being under medical supervision for it via experimental drug therapy. He has admitted to crippling stress. And he is acting in a manic way.

I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I'm a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he's admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.
His private struggles would not be of general concern except they have dramatic public consequences.

His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he's the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all.
For 14 days more the administration is in a position to take urgent action to protect America from Elon Musk. That could include ending all U.S. contracts with him, filing lawsuits to block his unconstitutional DOGE initiative, and launching new federal and natsec investigations.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ELON MUSK ADMITS SECRET MASS CENSORSHIP OF HIS CRITICS ON TWITTER

Everything he said about what he planned to do with Twitter was a lie. No MAGA can possibly stand by him after this.

He betrayed the one principle he said he had. newrepublic.com/post/189770/el…
1/ What some of you do not realize is that there are a small number of MAGAs who believe, if erroneously, that they are actually pursuing principles.

They do not know what free speech actually entails in a representative democracy but they do believe in what they think it means.
2/ I'm not going to say these people can be redeemed. They can't. They supported a rapist career criminal for President of the United States and an unelected neo-Nazi to be his co-POTUS.

Some things are unforgivable; that alone—had they done nothing else—would be one such thing.

What people don't understand is that the most profound similarity between Trump, Musk and Hitler is that all three sought to control the masses via disinformation—and did so for their own cruel purposes and self-enrichment. Disinformation is the root of all the evil that follows.
Any comms, literacy, or journalism expert can in just a few minutes summarize how Trump and Musk systematically spread disinformation.

But that's not the scary part.

The scary part is that these men know what they're doing and they refuse to stop doing it.

That's where the evil lies.
What the supporters of these two evil men can't ever explain or justify is why neither man ever stops using the techniques that spread disinformation after they've been called to their attention.

The reason is that that unwillingness to stop spreading disinformation is the tell.
