THE REID HOFFMAN FILES, PART 1

"Note to self, Google before going."
-- Hoffman, Newcomer podcast, Dec 1, 2025

Hoffman said he visited Jeffrey Epstein's island without knowing about his criminal history. That he should have Googled him first.

This is a lie.

Buckle up. The following comes from 1.4 million DOJ documents, mined using a custom implementation of the latest technology.

Every quote below is verbatim and comes with a link to the original document for immediate verification.

THE REID HOFFMAN FILES

I OCR'd all 1.4 million documents from the DOJ's Epstein FOIA release.

Then I tested every public claim Reid Hoffman ever made about Jeffrey Epstein.

13 claims. 0 true.

This is the very first email. August 2013.

[EFTA01960550]

Link: justice.gov/epstein/files/…Image Since 2019, Reid Hoffman has made 13 testable public claims about Jeffrey Epstein:

1. He only had "few interactions" with Epstein
2. Those interactions were all "at the request of Joi Ito," then-director of the MIT Media Lab
3. They were all "for the purposes of fundraising for MIT". Nothing personal
4. His "last interaction with Epstein was in 2015"
5. He was "never a client" of Epstein's financial advisory services
6. He had "no engagement with him other than fundraising"
7. He didn't know who Epstein was before visiting his island.
8. He spent only "one night" on Epstein's private island
9. It was Joi Ito who "asked if Epstein could attend" the 2015 Palo Alto dinner, not Hoffman who invited him
10. When Epstein emailed him after 2015, his replies were "code for never"
11. "I did not go to the ranch". (Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico)
12. All post-2015 meetings were "coordinated by Joi Ito"

All are complete lies.

What is Reid Hoffman hiding?

I am horrified. I cannot believe it.

I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year.

Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America.

This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED.

A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties.

590 times.

I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement.

These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.Image For the above figure, I excluded all counties with 3 or fewer incidents to highlight the counties with the highest concentration of violent confrontations.

For transparency, here is the full figure, which includes the remaining 65 of 175 violent confrontation spread elsewhere. Image

Americans are fleeing Democrat-run states in droves.

Do Democrats incentivize illegal immigrants to replace them?

I crunched data from 2023.

I found: the more Americans fleeing their states, the more benefits these states provide to illegal immigrants, p<0.0001.

Democrats are replacing Americans with illegal immigrants.Image In 2023, states that provide welfare benefits to illegal immigrants had a net flight of 0.26% of the population.

Meanwhile, states that provided no benefits to illegal immigrants had a net inflow of 0.32%. Image

In Dem states, illegal immigrants receive welfare, attracting them to the state.

Lack of voter ID allows them to vote.

This creates an incentive for illegal immigrant voting.

But it's not just theory. It's election outcomes.

Illegals are swinging elections.

A thread. Image Why do Democrats insist on providing welfare to illegal immigrants?

Why are they so hostile to voter ID laws?

In 2024, Trump won almost every state that required voter ID.

He also won almost every state that did not provide welfare to illegal immigrants.

In contrast, Kamala won almost every state that did NOT require voter ID.

And she won almost every state that DID provide welfare to illegal immigrants.Image

I crunched the data. Again.

I made a map. Again.

The picture is now even CLEANER.

States without voter ID requirements are 16x more likely to offer welfare benefits to illegal immigrants than states requiring ID (67% vs 4%, p<0.0001).

Dems are importing and paying illegals for votes.

Details👇Image Just one state out of 27 with effective voter ID provides welfare to illegal immigrants. Rhode Island.

Specifically, healthcare to children.

That's the 4%.

16 of 24 states without effective voter ID provide welfare to illegal immigrants.

That's the 67%. Image

Christopher Caldwell in his Age of Entitlement (2020) offers the best analysis that I have seen for why the universities are now all left-wing. It's not that left-wing ideas have "won". It's that universities (and govt institutions) have no choice, LEGALLY. Here's his argument: Image The civil rights revolution created a second constitutional order.

This order, though its stated intention is equality, gradually displaced the older liberal order of procedural neutrality.

Federally funded institutions MUST pursue identity politics.

The modern Western political ideologies LIBERALISM, PROGRESSIVISM, and MARXISM should be understood as fundamentalist secularized denominations of Protestant Christianity.

All three descend from the same post-Reformation religious/moral structure: PROTESTANTISM's faith alone became moral agency.

Inner conscience guided by God became secular trust in Reason, Science, or Justice.

Salvation became Progress.

Priesthood of all believers became moral equality.

Without God though, moral worth became performance to others.

In May 2020, CDC analyzed all mask data, finding no benefit.

CDC, entirely Democrats, lied and pushed mandates anyway. It demonized right-wing dissenters as "anti-maskers".

Trust collapsed.

CDC engaged in left-wing political warfare over science.

Why should we trust the CDC? Image CDC's study showing no evidence for masks:

CDC force-masked toddlers during Covid.

Science shows this permanently stunted development. CDC knew there was no good evidence. They knew it would hurt children.

They knew it would cause tremendous damage to America. They did it anyway. Why?

Power.

I explain everything. This is going to be an extremely long thread.

It will explain everything about masks during Covid--both the science and political reasons why our institutions lied to us.

When cloth masks were first recommended and then mandated during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was only one randomized controlled trial studying the use of cloth masks to prevent viral respiratory infections.

It showed a 13-fold increased risk of infection with cloth masks. Image Cloth masks did not just appear to increase risk compared to surgical masks. They also appeared to increase risk compared to no masks.

March 29, 2021 Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, infamously declared on MSNBC:

"Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick."

Emails obtained by FOIA from Jan 30, 2021 show that Walensky knew this was a lie at the time she said it.

1/12 See for yourself.

Without these lies, unconstitutional vaccine mandates would have been much more difficult to argue in court.

That's why she lied.

Here is a picture of the man resigning from CDC

Here he is wearing BDSM attire with a pentagram, a Satanic symbol, on his chest

He hates Trump and RFK Jr.

These are the kinds of freaks who used to oversee public health in this country Image Here are some more pics.

In the one where he is posing with a man dressed as a dog, you can see an inverted pentagram tattooed on his upper chest.

He/him/his former CDC official. Image

Wall Street Journal has launched another dumb attack--this time at Trump FDA appointee Marty Makary.

This article is filled with wild representations.

I explain in depth below.

I also explain the role of science in medicine and why WSJ Editorial Board is not smart. Image WSJ is very dumb lately, and I believe that this is for an obvious reason: the people who are writing for it are dumb.

This thread will explain the dumb.

I implore you, dear reader:

As I explain, revel in the dumb. Wonder at it. Laugh at it.

Be not perturbed by the dumb.

If you want to understand why the universities have become stupid, you have to understand that the universities have literally become stupid.

The average undergraduate IQ has fallen by nearly 20 points in 80 years--massive.

This drop has happened at every level of education. Image

Undergraduates have become much dumber. Graduates have become much dumber. Graduate students have become much dumber. Lawyers have become much dumber. Doctors have become much dumber. PhDs have become much dumber.

And the steady increase in dumbness continues to the present day.

NEW PAPER

21,041 clinical trials were analyzed to determine whether they followed basic principles of experimental design and reporting

These studies are the core scientific pillar informing the care that patients receive

The results are shocking👇 Image Fewer than 10% of published studies even explained how patients were assigned to each group

Since these are RANDOMIZED controlled trials, this is hard to fathom

There is no information provided about the most important design feature in >90% of trials

New study published in the BMJ

Investigators counted 1330 clinical trials that had been retracted for misconduct or fatal errors

The researchers looked at how these bad studies corrupted healthcare guidelines used to treat patients

Their findings are horrifying

🧵 Image Each retracted trial on average contaminated 3 systematic reviews, and 3 clinical guidelines

1-in-4 were still included in systematic reviews EVEN AFTER THE RETRACTION NOTICE

157 guidelines used to guide healthcare decisions were corrupted

Tallow or oil?

Seed-oil deep dive for regular folks: facts and fiction.

You’ve heard "industrial seed oils cause inflammation."

Let’s walk through all the evidence in plain English.

What’s solid, what's iffier, and how to use that knowledge in your own kitchen. 🧵👇 Image Myth

The idea: "Vegetable oils like soybean, canola, sunflower make your body 'inflamed' and hurt your heart."

The reality: When scientists measure inflammation in people, the oil swap usually lowers it or leaves it unchanged.

This isn't just one or two studies or even dozens.

FDA is kicking out all petroleum-based food dyes this year.

Sounds great, until you look at what's replacing them.

Here are five "natural" colors that look more dangerous than the old artificial dyes they're replacing.

Thread 1/9 🧵 Image 2/9 Spirulina Blue vs. Blue #1

NEW COLOR: Spirulina extract (phycocyanin)
> Only 90-day studies; no lifetime cancer or fertility work.
> Nickel, mercury, microcystins found in every retail sample screened
> 41% were over WHO limits for consumption for microcystins.

BANNED COLOR: Brilliant Blue FCF (Blue #1)
> 50 yrs of clean rodent & human data.

Why banned? FDA wanted a "zero-petroleum" rule for optics and simplicity, NOT because Blue #1 failed a safety test.

This is anti-science and harmful. Here's why:

1. N95s fail in clinical trials to meaningfully reduce respiratory viral infections.
2. N95's seal is easily broken. They are not effective over long periods.
3. According to CDC, N95s are harmful if worn over long periods.

🧵1/5 From Cochrane Collaboration, the world's most respected authority on systematic reviews and meta-analyses:

No benefit of surgical masks vs no masks, and no benefit of N95s vs surgical masks in any population studied in clinical trials
