Did you know the birth of modern computing and AI is directly tied to both the Nazi concentration camps and the Allied victory?
The Nazis owed a lot to IBM, which custom-built and maintained the punch-card machines that allowed them to round up and categorize millions of people. IBM was asked to stop, but they kept going. When researcher Edwin Black finally had them dead to rights with the documents, IBM admitted he was right.
But they were never held accountable. In fact—and this may be the scariest part—when IBM built their modern AI computer to scan hospital records and track medical data, they named it "Watson," after their former CEO Thomas J. Watson, who authorized the dealings with the Nazis.
But at the exact same time, Alan Turing helped build one of the first computers to crack the impossible Nazi Enigma code and help the Allies win the war. He went on to predict the rise of AI that we're currently living in.
Technology is a double-edged sword: in the hands of a free people, it can break the back of a totalitarian regime. In the hands of a surveillance state, it becomes the ultimate tool of control. If we don't learn from history, we'll walk right into the trap a second time.
🚨 NEW: While every talking head screams "Iraq 2.0," @barbaramboyd explains what they'll NEVER tell you — 118 years of British financial control over Iran, and why Trump just struck the last piece on the Empire's chessboard.
NEW: Team USA honors Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed by an alleged drunk driver, by bringing his kids on the ice.
Gaudreau was set to make the U.S. Olympics team before he & his brother were hit by a car in August of 2024.
His kids are now 2 and 3.

Wait the Epstein dump isn’t about trips to the island????
It’s about the 2008 market
Collapse………
Gotta listen to this……
The Epstein files aren't about island trips. They're about who was running the 2008 bailout from the inside.
Lord Mandelson was leaking bank secrets to Epstein while he was in jail.
Now Trump is dismantling their whole system.
Our Town Council keeps raising taxes.
So I showed up with an English Lord’s wig to speak in *favor* of taxes.
“If you can’t pay your taxes…don’t be poor.”
Oh my heavens. These kids are amazing and do a terrific job on “Cool Operator”, a song from the 80’s.
I’m amazed at their age and talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They’re called “The Graystones”
Hello Mr. Cole,
You are clearly not aware of the thousands of dead migrants, many of them children. There are thousands in 2024 alone, but the media does not report on this. This is all facilitated by NGOs trafficking migrants to the United States. We want to stop that. You don't.
There are no words to express our heartache and sadness for the horrific tragedy in Central Texas. Our thoughts and prayers are with all involved. May God bless each and every person.🙏🏻❤️

California’s water was stolen.
Most people think droughts are natural disasters.
But behind the scenes, one billionaire couple quietly stole California’s water supply—draining regions, fueling fires, and making billions.
Here's how they did it: 🧵
