This is how fast Grok has evolved in 10 months.
I like to evaluate LLMs by asking them to do SVG images. Why? SVG is a markup language - you have to reason around it. It's not generative AI photos. You have to write code that says "draw a circle for the cat's face, draw two triangles for the ear" and so on. You have to be able to describe what a cat looks like at an abstract level.
The left is Grok creating a SVG of a Siamese cat from December 2021. The right is Grok creating a SVG of a Siamese cat today, 10 months later.

CaliHaitians - Haitians in Az, Ca, Nv, Hi, Or, & Wa appears to be an informal social media group. Swalwell's own spending stinks to high heaven. I didn't know you could host parties in Disneyland with PAC money.

Yeah, what they do is:
1. Wait until the person they don't like wins an election
2. Have a parallel voting tabulation system (PVT) ... aka, Western NGOs count the vote and "prove" the winner was the counter-elite (puppet) they wanted
3. NGOs organize mass protests, media, activists around that until it results in a coup

I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.

This is why I call low-turnout, off-year elections a structural problem for Republicans. These are a partial list of Ford Foundation grants alone that directly or indirectly relate to electorate mobilization.
Now multiply that by about a dozen high-wealth foundations and donors.

Ford Foundation 101: Henry Ford distrusted the Rockefeller and Carnegie style of world-changing philanthropy and instead created a foundation devoted to practical charity.
His grandson, Henry Ford II, later re-endowed the Foundation and sought to redefine its purpose. He commissioned the Gaither Report, led by H. Rowan Gaither (a key figure in the RAND Corporation and member of the Council on Foreign Relations) to determine how the Foundation’s resources could best be used.
The report's conclusion: the Foundation should promote the emergence of a unified world order of democracies. From that point forward, its mission was not only democracy-building but also assisting the U.S. government in transferring elements of national sovereignty to the United Nations.
Over the decades, the Foundation’s leadership has often overlapped with the State Department and U.S. intelligence services, including John J. McCloy, former head of the OSS, the precursor to the CIA... even as Ford Foundation heavily cooperated with CIA and later USAID.

As an example, look at Indivisible job postings (for context, Indivisible organized NoKings). Their postings speak an entirely different vocabulary of expertise which is foreign to anyone who's working in the private sector.

Pay no attention to the media getting 3 billion annually... and another 3 billion for "creative media"... for reference, MSNBC's advertising revenue is a mere 250 million annually.

My kid's current special interest is cooking, so we got him a kids' cookbook. This morning, we told him he could pick a recipe to make if he behaved in class today.
He gave the kids' cookbook about half a second of his time, then reached straight for Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, flipped through it like a pro, and pointed to something called "faux-filet au beurre rouge."
He knew exactly what he wanted to make. I think it's time to put parental controls on the Food Network.

If you're wondering why Mr. Gutierrez is not operating in good faith, he has campaign contributions from oil companies and Toyota.

Spent a few minutes. Her presence is pretty thin other than what you've already pointed out - she got promoted, got a no-confidence vote, then got a cushy job. She doesn't have the typical fingerprints of an intelligence person (Georgetown/Columbia/GWU, membership in CFR, etc). Probably just a loyal minion who got rewarded.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Inside The New Pluralists: how billionaires weaponized the Biden Administration, targeted Charlie Kirk, and are quietly financing America’s color revolution 🚨🚨
In 2017, a quiet meeting brought representatives of Soros, Koch, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations together for one purpose: to rethink how philanthropy influences politics.
Out of that meeting came the “New Pluralists,” a coalition that would go on to shape the Biden White House’s United We Stand summit, fund censorship-adjacent projects, and eventually intersect with investigations into Turning Point USA ... and the color revolution that's brewing in the United States now.
Thanks to @iamlisalogan and @skdoubledub33 for the research.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread in real time. 👇

I encourage you to watch this video to the end to understand just what a massive effort this is. This is the master plan being laid out -- reinventing US governance from the bottom up.
The man speaking in this video, Stephen Heintz, is the architect and is the president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. He is also part of the New Pluralists, who @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan exposed as being directly linked to the color revolution involved ex-USAID employees.
