Yesterday, Google shocked the world with its new AI, "Gemini."

But it turns out the video was fake: the A.I. *cannot* do what Google showed.

It's my opinion, as a lawyer and computer scientist, that (1) Google lied and (2) it broke the law. 🧵 Image There are three things that excited people about Google's viral Gemini demo:

1. The AI processed video, not just still images

2. The AI inferred context without being spoon-fed prompts

3. The AI seamlessly spoke and understood conversational audio

None of them are real.

UPDATE: I've investigated further, and I've discovered serious problems with the alien mummies.

I believe the best available evidence points to an elaborate hoax.

Here's why I've become suspicious. 1/N 🧵 First, closer review of the scientific testimony presented to Peru's Congress reveals serious contradictions.

One of the major points of conflict is whether embryos were detected inside the alien eggs.

I haven't seen this contradiction discussed before. Image

Most people think the alien bodies shown to Mexico's Congress were fake.

But I have the reports from an international team of scientists.

You NEED to read their findings. They all say the aliens are real. 1/N 🧵 Image The alien specimens we're discussing were found in a mine in Peru.

Radiocarbon dating indicates they are at least 1,000 years old.

But evidence presented to the Congress of Peru goes much further than that. Image

Let's honor the victims of 9/11 by telling the truth:

We were attacked by a terrorist organization that was WORKING FOR the U.S. government.

The proof is available online for anyone brave enough to read it. 1/N 🧵 Image People want to believe that the DoD and CIA stopped supporting Bin Laden in the 1980s.

That simply isn't true.

Al Qaeda's #2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was working for the U.S. government *in 2001.* Image

🚨 BOOM: David Grusch may have seen proof of an extra-terrestrial mothership commanding a tic-tac UAP.

It sounds crazy, but it's spelled out in declassified documents.

Buckle up.🧵1/N Image In 2021, it appears Mr. Grusch was the Acting Chief of the Operations Center for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

He led a team of 30, and he was responsible for the President's Daily Brief.

Any intel at NRO went through Mr. Grusch.

People think we can ignore evidence of UFOs, because the probability of aliens visiting Earth is low.

There's a giant hole in their reasoning!

I can prove it using probability theory, and I can show you how to explain the problem to others. 1/N 🧵 Image Skeptics often tell you they are 99% sure aliens have not arrived on Earth.

In their mind, those are the same odds as reaching into a jar with 100 stones – 99 gray, 1 black – and randomly pulling out the only black stone.

But there's actually a HUGE difference! Image

Smart people are mocking the idea that the U.S. government is hiding alien spaceships and bodies.

They're wrong.

I've researched this issue for years: there is credible evidence the secret UFO program is real.🧵 1/N Image I will offer three core arguments.

I. This UFO story is less shocking than people assume, since word of the program leaked decades ago;

II. The new evidence is MUCH stronger than people realize;

III. No alternative theory, including a PsyOp, adequately accounts for the facts.

BREAKING: There has been another terrorist bombing in Russia.

An IED was detonated in a cafe in St. Petersburg.

It appears to have been a Ukrainian assassination attempt against the mil blogger Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin). twitter.com/i/web/status/1… The bomb was reportedly concealed in a statuette that was presented to Fomin as a "gift."

It exploded minutes after the following video was recorded.

He was killed and at least 18 others were wounded.

How many victims will survive remains unclear.

🚨BREAKING: A Ukrainian terrorist attack is underway in Bryansk, Russia.

The attackers said on video they wouldn't kill civilians, but there are reports of hostages and mass casualties.

President Putin has convened an emergency meeting of the Security Council. 🚨 Another manifesto video posted by the attackers after crossing the border.

They call themselves the "Russian Volunteer Corps."

The sound of heavy machine-gun fire from Russian security forces interrupts them mid-sentence.

They obviously know they're on a suicide mission.

America is sending 30 M-1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

It will have an effect on the ground, and it represents a major escalation of U.S. involvement in the war.

A quick thread... 🧵 The major argument *against* the Abrams tanks having an effect on the ground is the logistical burden for Ukraine to field them.

The distinctive feature of the Abrams is its Honeywell AGT 1500 gas-turbine engine.

It's a different animal from Ukraine's Soviet diesel tanks.

THREAD: Today, a time for choosing arrived for America.

A truck bomb has been detonated on the bridge that connects Crimea to Russia.

We're running out of time to reconsider our support for Ukraine attempting to retake the peninsula by force. Disabling the bridge serves dual purposes for Ukraine.

From a kinetic perspective, it reduces Russia's options for supplying its forces in the South of Ukraine.

More importantly, from a symbolic perspective, it embodies Ukraine's ambition to seize Crimea from Russia.

🚨BREAKING: An explosion has severely damaged the Crimean Bridge that connects the peninsula to the Russian mainland.

Portions of the bridge have collapsed into the water.

This bridge is one of the emblems of Putin's government. These are shocking visuals for Russians. Update: The road portion of the Crimean Bridge has collapsed into the water.

A massive fire has engulfed a train on the rail portion of the bridge, which is also visibly damaged.

Russia is already answering the Ukrainian offensive with accelerated air strikes on critical infrastructure.

These are targets that could have been destroyed earlier in the war, but which were spared.

Today, the Karachun dam was destroyed by Russian cruise missiles.🧵 Here is the aftermath of these strikes.

Note that the Ingulets river is now flooding around the city of Krivoy Rog.

There is a military rational for this – making crossing the river more difficult – but it's also a hardship for civilians.

This is a plausible forecast of how the Ukrainian offensive in the Kharkov region could end in strategic disaster.

But a few caveats are in order:

1. The ability of Ukrainian forces to successfully mount an operation of this scale was unexpected, and is itself significant; 2. The apparent defeat of Russian forces, even if of little strategic import, has MASSIVE *propaganda value* for Ukraine.

It both disheartens supporters of the war inside Russia and encourages greater Western support for Ukraine.

🚨 Biden just forced America's ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan, to step down. 🚨

The White House is pretending it's a normal diplomatic rotation.

That's a lie. 🧵 Sullivan was a Trump appointee with a deep affection for Russia.

He had previously insisted he would stay in his post.

"They will need to get me out with a crowbar, because I won't leave until either they throw me out or the President says, 'Look, you gotta go home!'"

It wasn't enough to murder an innocent girl!

Blue checks and high-profile Ukrainian accounts are now fabricating a justification for the terrorist bombing.

It's time to unmask these monsters. It's time to reveal their lies. 🧵 1/N A viral tweet from a Ukrainian "analyst" portrayed Darya Dugina as an advocate of genocide.

Alex Kokcharov claimed that Dugina publicly described Ukrainians as "subhumans."

This lie has been RTed more than 4,000 times and received +23,000 likes.

There's a secret the U.S. government doesn't want you to know:

For the first time in history, we are fighting a proxy conflict where *victory* means nuclear war.

By providing Ukraine with weapons to attack Crimea, we are endangering the entire world. 🧵 1/N On Tuesday, explosions rocked Saki air base in Crimea, destroying multiple Russian planes.

It's likely that this was an attack carried out by Ukraine using U.S.-provided long-range weapons, such as the MG-140 АТАСМS.

The U.S. government has been paying me to build a replacement for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

It's called KRNC (@KRNCinc) and it's a protocol that upgrades the U.S. Dollar.

Here's a thread on how it works – and how it could increase the value of the Dollars in your bank account.🧵 What's wrong with the existing U.S. Dollar? Why do we need to upgrade it using a blockchain?

The main problem is scarcity. The Dollar is losing its value, because its supply is unlimited.

When new Dollars are created, they lower the value of the ones that already exist.

The West is pushing Ukraine to attack inside Russia.
It's a great tactic – but a horrible strategy.

Putin can respond by declaring war on Ukraine, making millions of conscripts available.

The conflict would grow to an apocalyptic scale matching WW2.🧵👇 A mega-thread... There have already been a series of mysterious fires and explosions inside Russian territory.

Many of these involve facilities needed for the war effort.

For example, Russia alleges that Ukrainian helicopters blew up an oil-storage depot in Belgorod, Russia.

This is a remarkable piece of misinformation being spread by major accounts.

They claim the FSB is so dumb that it forged a neo-nazi letter and accidentally signed it "Signature Illegible."

It's amazing that stories this dumb get RTed +10,000 times... 🧵 In reality, "Signature Illegible" is the alleged moniker of the neo-nazi extremists.

Here is the cover of a piece of extremist literature where it's prominently displayed.

The meaning isn't entirely clear: it could refer to e.g. the "signature" of a criminal group.

Today, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said America wants to see a "weakened" Russia.

It's an example of a senior Biden administration official saying the quiet part out loud.

A quick thread on the implications... 🧵 First, this is simply bad diplomacy.

Russia has always argued that the West's goal was to bring Russia to its knees.

That was part of Putin's justification for launching the invasion of Ukraine.

Publicly endorsing that strategy helps Putin by apparently vindicating him.
