Facebook once bought an Israeli VPN app for $120 million.
Why?
To spy on over 33 million users.
This was their hidden strategy to eliminate the competition.
Next, they:
• Bought WhatsApp for $19 billion.
• Cloned Snapchat before it became popular.
🧵
In 2013, Facebook bought an Israeli startup, Onavo VPN, for $120 million.
Onavo looked like a normal VPN.
You installed it. It encrypted your traffic. And promised to keep you private.
But behind the scenes, it was routing all your internet activity through Facebook’s servers.

America just got its first pope.
But here’s the thing:
Pope Leo XIV is NOT who conservatives prayed for.
He’s anti-Trump.
He’s anti-border wall.
He’s anti-LGBTQ rights.
And now he’s the most powerful religious figure on Earth.
This could change EVERYTHING.🧵
This guy? He’s from working-class Chicago. Immigrant family. Math nerd. Became a priest.
But instead of climbing ladders in Rome, he moved to rural Peru — no roads, no Wi-Fi, just people and poverty.
He’s spent his life with migrants, not megachurches.

Here's why:
First, let's go back to January 19, 1999.
The first BlackBerry pager, the BlackBerry 850, was released.
It was a game-changer.
Portable, wireless internet, and a unique keyboard that made emailing a breeze.
Business professionals swore by it.
Everyone loved it.

John D. Rockefeller is the richest man in American history.
But his path to power was bloody and ruthless.
He crushed competitors, swallowed suppliers, and built an empire that controlled 90% of America's oil by 1900.
This is his strategy—move by move:🧵
In 1859, America struck oil.
Everyone rushed in.
Wildcatters. Refiners. Railroads. Chaos.
Rockefeller looked at that mess and saw something no one else did:
"The man who controls the refining… controls the industry."

India and the US are building what could become the defining partnership of the 21st century.
JD Vance, US Vice President, just wrapped up a 4-day visit to India — a strategic move to counter China.
But things took a dark turn… and now, the stakes are sky-high.🧵
In Jaipur, Vance called India “critical to a prosperous and peaceful century.”
He wasn’t just being nice.
The US is trying to win India over — and fast.
Why?
Because China is no longer playing nice, and America needs a new partner with size, smarts, and strength.
