🚨 New forensic findings have just been released in the death of Suchir Balaji — a whistleblower against OpenAI.

Police ruled it a suicide.

But the evidence just uncovered tells a very different story: drugging, a possible second bullet, and a botched autopsy. 🧵1/ Image 2/ On November 26, 2024, San Francisco PD informed Suchir Balaji’s family he had died by suicide.

According to the family's attorney, an autopsy was completed just "40 minutes" after arriving at the scene — no interviews, no toxicology report, no ballistic analysis.

Why? 🤔 Image

Less than 3 months after the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, healthcare elites gathered just blocks away in a glitzy Midtown ballroom for the "Oscars of Big Pharma" — and to set in motion a plan to "win back public trust."

Here’s what they’re up to... 🧵1/ Image 2/ On December 17, 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered in the streets of New York by Luigi Mangione (allegedly), and many Americans' reaction: "Eh, he had it coming."

In response, the industry is doubling down on PR to take back control of the narrative. Image

Trump wants to make a historic nuclear deal with China and Russia. Great!

But there’s one nuclear-armed country that never gets mentioned — because officially… it “doesn’t exist.”

Here’s the untold story of the world’s worst-kept nuclear secret. 🧵1/ Image 2/ Israel’s nuclear program began in the 1950s with help from France and later, stolen U.S. materials.

A now-declassified State Department memo from 1960 warned that Israel was building and hiding a weapons program under the guise of a “peaceful reactor” at Dimona. Image

🚨 California is about to spend $500 million to DESTROY a dam that supplies water to 600,000 people — in a fire-prone region.

⬇️ You won’t believe this story. 1/🧵 Image

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump admin is moving to shut down USAID.

And the deep state is furious. 😠

Why? Because USAID isn’t really a "humanitarian aid agency" — it’s a covert intelligence arm funding coups, protests & regime change.

Here’s a 🧵 on its worst operations: 1/ Image

2/ 🇨🇺 Cuba - ZunZuneo (2009-2012)

USAID built a fake Cuban Twitter called ZunZuneo, designed to lure in young users and slowly feed them anti-government content to spark protests.

It was funded in secret through shell companies. The plan collapsed when exposed in 2014. Image

DEI is one of the most polarizing topics today.

Some say it’s essential to strengthening America. Others are blaming it for causing disasters and death.

But what if both sides are missing the point?

Here are my unsolicited thoughts. 🧵1/ Image 2/ In the past month, @realDonaldTrump has blamed DEI for making the LA fires worse and speculated that it caused the tragic collision of a military helicopter with an American Airlines flight.

Is DEI really to blame? Or has DEI just lost sight of what it was supposed to be? Image

Sam Altman is one of the richest, most powerful figures shaping the future of AI — and humanity itself.

His sister Annie? A sex worker now accusing him of sexual abuse.

Annie Altman isn’t your picture-perfect victim — she’s been a sex worker, eccentric, and doesn’t fit society’s mold.

But her allegations against her brother, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, should demand our attention as he gains power in AI and government.

As the U.S. government moves to ban TikTok over national security concerns, millions of Americans are flocking to 小红书 aka "Little Red Book", another Chinese social media app.

This should set off massive alarm bells — but not for the reasons you think.

Let’s dive in.🧵1/ Image 2/ Back in the 1960s, The Little Red Book (officially titled: "Quotations from Chairman Mao") was a cornerstone of communist propaganda in China.

It symbolized absolute loyalty to the Mao regime and was used to indoctrinate millions during the Cultural Revolution. Image

They tell us that TikTok is a “national security threat” and its algorithm is "brainwashing America". But where’s the proof?

A close examination of the evidence exposes some VERY familiar — and VERY suspicious — players.

Spoiler: it’s not really about China.
⬇️ Mega 🧵1/ Image 2/ Context

TikTok — facing an impending ban on Jan. 19 — is fighting for its life right now in the Supreme Court.

Congress asserted the app's "Chinese-controlled algorithm" is pushing dangerous ideas on Americans and that the app is a "major national security threat." Image

🚨 I may have uncovered a MASSIVE scandal in CA.

Gavin Newsom claims $24B for homelessness went "missing".

Well, I found evidence of CA officials possibly, allegedly, embezzling hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars through a sketchy Cayman Islands group! 🧐

🧵1/ Image 2/ In response to an April 2024 audit which exposed that California did not know how money going to solving homelessness was being spent, Gov. Newsom responded by stating the results “did not surprise” him, but added that California has taken part in “unprecedented investments”. Image

Time for a little journalism 🧐:

Marc Andreessen promises to be a libertarian visionary, championing innovation and freedom in Trump’s administration. But his actions reveal a darker plan —one rooted in control, surveillance, and elite power. Let’s unpack his real agenda. 🧵1/ Image 2/ The story begins in 2017, when a mysterious group of Silicon Valley investors started quietly acquiring farmland in Solano County — a mostly rural area 60 miles northeast of San Francisco — spending nearly $1 billion over the course of several years to secure 55,000 acres.

Jeffrey Goldberg’s journey from IDF prison guard to editor-in-chief of The Atlantic is quite remarkable, but also incredibly suspicious and should raise some serious questions.🤔

Is his position in elite American media coincidental or is there more here than meets the eye? 🧵1/ Image 2/ A native of Brooklyn, raised on Long Island, Goldberg left student life at the University of Pennsylvania to move to Israel where he served as an IDF prison guard overseeing Palestinian detainees in Ktzi’ot Prison, a facility known for torture and sexual abuse.
