Thanks Jason for having me on your show again. And everyone go watch Ken’s recent interview with @TuckerCarlson

[Crowdsource The Truth @JG_CSTT]

Today at 11am @JD_Cashless & @CommCommotion join me to discuss the curious connections between Thomas Crooks and Jack Teixeira. https://t.co/V95oerxgs7

As you can tell by her patch, the deputy pictured here is from Butler County, Ohio -- not Pennsylvania. This tweet is rapidly approaching 200k views and it's totally made up crap.

Good news. Looks like my planned film ‘Le Loyon’ has found a production company! Very enthusiastic folks who love filmmaking, and are familiar with the region here in Switzerland. Stay tuned.
And many thanks to @laliberte for their recent article about the film!

Dave Emory is back on The Farm along with Laura Shapiro to continue our deep dive into the history of parapolitical radio. This outing is all about Mae Brussell (& Paul Krassner & Yoko...)

Switzerland to open secret files on Auschwitz 'Angel of Death' Mengele https://t.co/2fdb6E6pez

What's fascinating with this resurgence of the MKUltra bugbear is that nobody in the comments (for instance) seems to understand what MKUltra actually did nor the horrors of what's already been acknowledged. They're treating the topic as something intangible, like UFOs.

Coming soon -- as in, hopefully by the end of this week!

The FBI released more Thomas Crooks records in response to the @JudicialWatch lawsuit
A few interesting ones, but far more noteworthy imo is what the FBI withheld, and why. Some records are sealed, while others cite b7D--the exemption used to protect the identity of informants

[Metal Gear Network - MGN @MGSMGN]

If you haven’t seen today’s news, it’s rocked the modding community in a big way.

Earlier today Lance McDonald shared on X, “The entire source code and all assets for Metal Gear Solid 2 HD just leaked on 4chan,” likely tied to Armature Studio’s work on the Vita port.

And this goes far beyond just the HD version.

Our own MGN moderator and modder, @Afevis , whose contributions to the MGS2 and MGS3 modding scene speak for themselves (MGSHDFix) shared some early insight:

“It’s not just the HD versions in the dump, it’s the full source code for the PS2 / Xbox / PC versions, everything up to Vita. The original E3 trailer script files are here. The cut Tanker water-escape sequence. 9/11 censored scripting. Internal file editors & tooling, etc.”

When asked if there were more assets from the pre-9/11 build, he added:

“It does. At a brief glance, Arsenal Gear -> Manhattan crash stuff was censored by simply commenting out code. Likewise, there’s E3 / Demo assets. HD version was definitely made from OG source, not 100% reverse engineered as people misinterpret from old Bluepoint Games interviews.”

Modders are still digging through everything, but the implications are massive. This could mean restoring cut content, uncovering unseen material, and gaining a much deeper understanding of how the game was built.

On top of that, it gives the community more tools to preserve and refine these games going forward.

If even part of this holds true, this is a huge unexpected moment for the scene.

More to come!

The memo includes detailed plans for interrogation teams trained to utilize the polygraph, various drugs, and hypnotism “for personality control purposes.” https://t.co/dKmyyxwJh4

New OSINT on the Crooks family digital footprint:

Microsoft account activity linked to email [email protected] shows changes at 10:53 PM on July 13, 2024.

What were the changes that were made? Was he deleting information? This lines up exactly with Matthew Crooks' 10:56 PM 911 call reporting his son Thomas missing — right as law enforcement arrived and media reportedly began contacting the family about the Trump assassination attempt.

In search of a haven from conflict in the Gulf, Dubai’s expatriates are homing in on a picturesque Swiss canton of just 135,000 people better known for commodity traders and cryptocurrency firms https://t.co/HYw1hHwWsw

[Citizen Commission @CitizenComm]

Last fall, @TuckerCarlson, @MirandaDevine, and @BreannaMorello reported that Thomas Crooks interacted with a mysterious anonymous account known as “Willy Tepes.”

Our investigation went much deeper: we tracked Tepes’ digital footprint, infiltrated the extremist Telegram channels it operated in, and recovered thousands of its messages — many openly encouraging political violence in the US and abroad.

What we found is extremely disturbing.

Did investigators miss this during the Crooks investigation… or is it being kept quiet?
