🛑 ICYMI: Our deep dive on "Dialog," which has been hyped as Peter Thiel's "secret society," finds that it is large and not especially secret — but it is a part of a larger web of influence networks designed to find "heretics" within the world's elite. america2.news/exclusive-pe...

"Hereticon... bills itself as... convening 'persecuted weirdos' on the premise that 'dissent is worth protecting.' "Where Dialog’s edginess ends, Hereticon picks up with sessions on UFOs, immortality, doomsday, natalism, parapsychology, genetic modification, 'sex, God' – and 'existential risk.'"

🔴Peter Thiel’s Least Secret Network Is Just One Small Part of a Global Influence Machine – @davetroy.com Peter Thiel's Dialog is cast as a 'secret society' of global elites – but the invitation-only network is just one part of a much more significant web of power. bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/p...

Great exposé of the shady elite networks linked to Peter Thiel.

Watch this important new talk from @joetrippi.bsky.social — technology is moving faster than democracy can react. We need to revolt and find pathways out of the box that tech is building for all of us.

Predictions are all about power. I'm super excited to share this new episode of 'Dave Troy Presents' with Carissa Veliz about her new book, "Prophecy: Prediction, Power and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI" — Have a listen now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Many of you have seen the viral clip wherein Steven Bartlett says that '3 glasses of wine' disabled him for three days, and his Whoop fitness sensor says so. It's an ad. Here's the backstory of a complex influence campaign funded by major tech investors. america2.news/the-anatomy-...

1/One overlooked Epstein figure is Sigal Mandelker, who negotiated his 2008 deal with Acosta and Barr. In 2017, she was named Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intel, but faced scrutiny for missing FinCEN reports in Mueller’s Trump-Russia probe. www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/de...

"When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate & moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paedophile kompromat and New Labour access that shaped a decade of British politics, writes Tamsin Shaw."

Withdrawal from NATO. Abolishing the Federal Reserve. Terminating aid to Ukraine. These are the positions of both Vladimir Putin and Rep. Thomas Massie. Epstein transparency is good — Massie is not, and shouldn’t be given power. america2.news/thomas-massi...

📄 NEW: Thomas Massie has gained a following for his dogged pursuit of Epstein transparency, but few have examined his longstanding alignment with Russia's policy agenda, and why Putin is a big winner in this exposure operation. america2.news/thomas-massi...

Required reading. The victims deserve justice and the paper trail Dave Troy continues to uncover leads to Epstein running a large “controlled burn operation” for both the criminal and civil claims against him and a lot of lawyers are involved. Their greed and apparent misogyny needs accountability.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: Did Jeffrey Epstein Try to Sabotage the Lawyers Fighting Him? Soon after Epstein tried (and failed) to infiltrate Brad Edwards' database system, Stan Pottinger, an old Epstein partner, and David Boies waltzed in to “help” victims. america2.news/part-seven-d...

For those who have mirrored the entire EFTA dataset locally on a Mac, here's a hack: use Claude Code with 'mdfind' to identify relevant documents, and then query and summarize that dataset. Insanely helpful.

It's time to take a much-needed break from the constant political chaos and read this outstanding article by @davetroy.com again. Highly recommended.

The most important thing in today's Epstein files may involve 4chan. In 2011, Epstein met with 4chan creator Christopher "moot" Poole; that same day, Poole launched the /pol/ board that 3 years later would be the heart of Gamergate. And Gamergate was the start of the movements that led to Jan 6. 1/

ZDF is now broadcasting the documentary I prepared with Johannes Hano and David Frum concerning the Russian influence operation targeting Musk, Thiel and other Silicon Valley South Africans, which was personally overseen and run by Vladimir Putin and was deemed hugely successful by the Russians.

This is a big scoop and further details the scope of the far-right insurgency within the US. The “Chairman for life,” setup itself is an overt challenge to the constitution. Troy’s reporting detailing the use of the USPTO to house the legal framework of a supranational org is critically important.

My annual wrap-up of the US Far Right is out!

This is a good time to revisit my seminal 2022 piece on the long-running war between gold-obsessed propertarians and the Federal Reserve. The DOJ action against Powell is revenge for FDR’s 1933 Executive Order 6102. washingtonspectator.org/paranoia-on-...

Key Epstein fact: the anticommunist zealots who led Iran-Contra merged with the KGB network that pillaged the USSR to establish Putin and his oligarchs. Epstein and Robert Maxwell were embedded in both networks.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: We untangle Epstein's web at Santa Fe Institute to make sense of "Game B," a design for a new utopian society, and look at some of its downstream effects. Featuring an interview with Jim Rutt, former SFI Chair. Part 6 in our series. america2.news/part-six-eps...

Excellent investigative work - follow the money! MMY, my parents guru, targeted the wealthy. Cults seduce through luring others by association. While a new concept to me, an Epstein or Russia tie to TM is not really that far fetched. #cult #transcendentalmeditation

“It looks like a normal fact-changing organization, but it’s funded and directed by organizations and people with clear Kremlin affiliations." Russian malign influence operations took center stage at Disinfo2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/russ...

Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.

Having now observed the Hegseth and Trump speeches, I'd describe their approach as "soft purge." Both made references to making things uncomfortable for those not aligned with their worldview. Creates a basis for gradual firings and resignations going forward.

ICYMI, the sex abuses are terrible and real, but this is the story that Putin and Trump absolutely don't want you to know. Part four of our series on Epstein's influence activities reveals his involvement with Russia's decades-long war on the west.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: Epstein was close with Vitaly Churkin, a Russian Ambassador with close ties to KGB head Vladimir Kryuchkov. Kryuchkov and Churkin brought Trump to Moscow in 1987, and may be the link to Robert Maxwell. New, original reporting. america2.news/part-four-ma...

It’d be great if America could get past the reflexive blame game after every shooting in this country and start focusing on the actual root causes: gun culture, gamer culture, young men getting radicalized online, and mental health. Otherwise, it’s just going to keep happening—left or right.

What an honor to meet up with the brilliant and lovely Morgan Fairchild in Baltimore this afternoon. You may know @morgfair for her prolific acting career, but her interests run from counterterrorism and geopolitics to climate and information warfare. #bigbrains
