I warned the White House, the National Security Council, and several other agencies about all of this (Musk, crypto, Russia, Trump et al) in writing in 2021. It was too far outside the Overton window to be taken as a real threat. Now, here we are.
Manipulations of perception turns out to be the most powerful weapons, more dangerous than atomic weapons, intended for continuous use against us.
It's a most miserable realization.
For me, it has been years of wondering if clear warnings about these threats were being delivered to and *understood* by the Obama and Biden administrations.
Thank you for your work.
@murodegrizeco delivered, yes. understood, no. In no way comprehended.
I don't know what to say. That is awful.
