ing. "Oh well, I'm a Democrat. Probably they'll vote Democrat. My leaders are bringing them in, the border's open. Oh, it's to get extra voters." So I think that the Democrats are fooled about the real reason. And I think that Elon Musk, seeing that the Democrats say it out loud, quite reasonably attributes that reason to what we see. Now that's a quite reasonable opinion. They say it, you observe…

cally, and this is a matter of record, tried to control Hollywood and some celebrities because they know that controlling the media is a good way to control how everybody thinks, etc. We know that they've controlled the news for a long time. We know that they're knee deep in social media companies. We know that AI is the biggest thing coming and will be the most dominant technical force. Do you think there's any chance that the CIA didn't get inside the AI efforts of all the major companies? Of course they do. If they're not doing it they all need to be fired. What are they doing if they're not doing that? That's the most basic thing they should be doing. If the CIA isn't all the way into our AI products and every big company, why aren't they? They better be because that's their main job is to determine how we think and the AI is going to be the main part of that.

Have you noticed that nobody built an AI that can tell the truth? Some of it is because there is no truth, but part of it is that what you see must be what the CIA wants you to see. The fact that Google pulled back Gemini, although I don't know how it's pulled back, it's still there, suggests that maybe they revealed themselves a little bit too obviously. That we are to believe that the intelligence of AI is rising organically. It's not. Everything that's important will be programmed into it because the CIA needs us to believe a certain set of things. We're going to start relying on the AI more and more. So if the AI is not saying what the CIA wants to say, they're going to tell the company to reprogram it until it does. And the company will do it because we have plenty of evidence from the Twitter files that they don't even have to threaten them. They just have to have a meeting with them and they just have to walk in and say, hey, we're the CIA, we'd really like it if you did this thing. What's the company going to do? They got government contracts, right? And they want to keep them. Yeah, they're going to do whatever the CIA wants to do.

How about COVID? Do I need to say anything about that? Moving on.

How about the teachers unions? Have you been puzzled why we can't fix schools and you think it's the teachers unions? Do you think that the teachers unions are completely organic and free from any CIA influence? Doesn't seem possible because we know the CIA likes to control unions. Do you know why? Well, if they're controlling something like the Teamsters or one of those tough unions it's because they can get muscle on the street. But they need to control unions in general because that's where the power is. So my guess is that the CIA must want to control the Democrats through the teachers union. And that requires allowing some slop in how the teachers unions control the education system. So tell me the teachers unions don't look like the border problem. It's a gigantic problem to the country. It seems obvious to every observer that it would be easy to fix, right? But it doesn't get fixed. We can all see the problem and it just keeps lasting forever. That suggests there's somebody behind this throne who wants it to last because they're getting some benefit that's not obvious to you. Who else could it be?

Well, in case you trusted the CIA, here's a report, long thread from Kanekoa the Great, one of the better follows on the X platform. I don't know where Kanekoa gets all his research but wow does he have good stuff pretty much every day. So I'm just going to read this thing here. This thread: The New York Times disclosed yesterday that the CIA built 12 secret spy bases in Ukraine, waging a shadow war against Russia for the past decade. Sort of understand why Putin was a little concerned after a US-supported violent coup toppled Ukraine's democratically elected government. CIA director John Brennan visited Kiev in April of 2014 shortly after the new Ukrainian government launched an "anti-terror operation." Oh, isn't that convenient? Got to get those terrorists. But those terrorists happen to be in the Russian-speaking part of eastern Ukraine. For eight years leading up to Russia's invasion in 2022, Ukraine's government, with help from the CIA, relentlessly bombed eastern Ukraine. Millions of innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical chess match between Russia and the United States. This is part of the story often ignored by the Western press.

So Ukraine apparently is just CIA trying to take out Putin and always was. And it's exactly what it looked like.

Let's talk about Crimea. NBC journalist, now NBC generally is known as a CIA operation so not sure about this story, but NBC journalist Kier Simmons explained that most Crimeans are pro-Russia. So how exactly would you take it back? And why? The people who live in Crimea don't want to be anywhere but in Russia apparently, at least by some kind of majority.

Christopher Todd Nolan said this. He said a few years ago I made a series of documentaries on the war in Ukraine. This relatively short video is a summary. Well basically saying that an unelected government began killing its own people in the southeast of the country after a visit from Joe Biden and John Brennan. So John Brennan and Joe Biden linked at the hip. Sounds like it. Sounds like they're working together. Do you think Biden is anything but a CIA puppet? It doesn't look like it. It looks like he's just a CIA puppet.

All right, let's talk about some more AI nonsense. The libs of TikTok was posting that Meta's AI, if you ask it to list the presidents of the United States, it will skip Trump. Now I wouldn't believe that except they had a video of the actual screen skipping Trump. And they actually assigned the 45th presidency to Joe Biden and they just left out Trump. Now you might say to yourself, oh that's just like a little bug. No it isn't. No. And I don't believe that they programmed just this question to do it. Let me tell you what is obvious from this. It is obvious the AI has been in

structed to ignore Trump-related success. Obviously it ignored it so much that it wouldn't list him as a prior president. What else would do that? What else? There's some kind of general suppression commands or series of commands in Meta AI that very obviously and very clearly is suppressing anything good about Trump anyway. So that's a smoking gun. Now do you believe that the CIA is not behind t…
