A fantastic piece of cultural writing here, kids. Not to be missed. Serious, do not skip. 🚀

Today's thread about Russia's slide into fascist insanity will be dedicated to an object seemingly innocuous but actually responsible for much of what Russia is today. Behold the worst Soviet-made weapon of mass destruction, Plombir. No, this isn't B

Important thread! Bannon: "One of our objectives...with MAGA is to end the Federal Reserve. It is a complete scam." They keep telling us what they're trying to do, and then we act surprised when they do it — or damage things in the attempt. And this is what's next.

Steve Bannon says the objective of MAGA will be to END the Federal Reserve discussing CBDCs w/extremist propagandist Mike Adams. -->FACTS<-- "Fears that CBDCs pose an imminent threat have little basis in reality." @davetroy Financial systems = targ

Interesting thread. You’re getting into in-group/out-group definitions of epistemology here. You might enjoy Tajfel and Lifton. Here is a paper of my own that gets into these topics as regards info warfare.

I attended Hereticon in 2022, and I had an experience there that made a truly deep impact on me. Getting to the conclusion was a trek for me, so you’re going to have to listen to the whole story.

Good story on the efforts to setup charter cities in Nigeria via Peter Thiel/Patri Friedman Pronomos Capital. tl;dr they tried to do this in Honduras and ran into headwinds, so they're extractively mining sovereignty in a place they deem easier to capture.

8/I **strongly** recommend folks take the time to read this free @4GWDOTDOTDOT piece from 2013 outlining the “Paul-North Strategy” — because this is what they’re trying to execute.

Important thread here; leaked doc from Google argues that big companies are not advantaged in the AI arena because the proliferation of lightweight open source AI models allows for faster, more creative and wider innovation. May be a serious inflection point for big tech.

Good thread on Jeffrey Sachs, whom I have been monitoring for some time. Though do note that the subject is Columbia economist Jeffrey D. Sachs, not Jeffrey A. Sachs, an error for which @P_Kallioniemi has already apologized.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American economist and academic and political commentator, Jeffrey Sachs (@JeffreyASachs). He's best-known for his deep hate for the "US hegemony", and for his love for the totalitarian regimes in Russia, Chi

Very good thread. China is not an arms-length actor here and is aligned with Putin. Russia is the tip of the spear, China is the lever.

Tweet Apr 27, 2023
With China's approach to the Ukraine war, it is important to attach importance not to what Beijing says but to what Beijing does. These practical actions - the so called 实际行动 - is what matters; the rest is propaganda and an image-building exercise.

Vitally important thread here. Again, this machine is for information warfare. It is being used to empower authoritarian regimes.

After months of declining follower counts, some state-affiliated media outlets on Twitter started to gain more followers, all around the same date. Here's the sudden shift of an account from Russia's RT, beginning a period of follower growth March 28
