To be fair, the German police don't have and probably don't deserve the bad reputation the US police for example has. I don't want to defend them too much, because they have their share of skeletons in their closet, but the average german police officer is, at the very least, not a violent psycho.

Somehow I don't see them succesfully reclaiming the slogan "ACAB" any time soon, though.
The Irish police who, do not carry guns, and their full title translates as "guardians of the peace" have frequently escorted private security firms who were carrying out illegal evictions. They were also once brought out in droves by oil companies, put up in hotels to brutalise oil protesters. A couple were recorded on a camera they confiscated that they didn't realise was on joking about raping the girls they had arrested before agreeing that they were too ugly to rape.

The Gardai have a fairly solid reputation internationally but I for one am happy to say a cop is a cop and all cops are bastards.

More on the unfolding tragicomedy of George Santos. Leaning more on the tragedy side.

Retired veteran Richard Osthoff and a retired police sergeant have attested that George Santos, under the name Anthony Devolder (which is known to be a name he has gone by) set up a GoFundMe page to receive donations for the removal of a stomach tumour suffered by Osthoff's pet dog. He did so via his registered charity, Friends of Pets United, so that GoFundMe would also contribute.

Santos instructed Osthoff to travel to another state to go to a specific hospital, only for the veterinarian to say they would be unable to operate on it there. Afterwards, Santos closed the funding campaign, took the money, and stopped answering calls. Osthoff has shown the text conversations with "Devolder" to back this up, and he's also backed up by the retired Sgt.

The dog did not receive the medical care that was crowdfunded, and has died.

Five days before last Christmas, a TikTok video went slightly viral. On the left side of the screen, a user navigated the Roku channel store, selected a channel, and installed it. They were greeted with videos about Kanye West’s recent spate of antisemitic speech, pedogate, and COVID-19 disinformation. On the right side, a middle-aged woman who went by the username “mama glock” demanded that her viewers “run–do not walk–run to your Roku” to check out a new channel.

“The logo is a white rabbit going into a hole…and across the screen at the bottom it says The Red Pill Network,” mama glock said. The channel was called “Burrow.”

Burrow is the love-child of two veteran conspiracy nuts: 55 year old Walt Christian Horat of Conspyre.tv, and 33 year old Chace Allen Felix of DisclosureHub. Both mens’ other platforms aggregate far-right extremist and other conspiracy theory content. Horat and Felix tout Burrow as a “high-end redpill channel”—a curated and easily shareable stream of right-wing conspiracy theories and misinformation designed to radicalize people. As such, Burrow has categories for everything from anti-trans “groomer” lies to the usual antivaxx disinformation to lectures from conspiracy heavyweights like Bill Cooper.

But the channel is just the tip of the iceberg. LCRW’s investigation found the channel’s creators also facilitate another Roku channel with even more extreme content. Conspyre.tv, hosts a wider selection of fringe content, including at least one neo-Nazi propaganda film. One of the creators also openly espouses antisemitic conspiracy theories on his Telegram channel while running a CBD grift. The other creator was once charged in a human trafficking case.

BURROW: ORIGINS
Burrow isn’t Horat’s first attempt to mass distribute conspiracy theory materials. He previously had a site called “Veritas World,” which he advertised with conspiracy theorists’ usual pitch: that the mainstream media is lying and holding secrets from you and his content has the real answers. He even linked to an archive of Q’s 8chan post in the footer of this site.

Horat’s Twitter under the Veritas World News moniker was banned, and archives of his Gab profile indicate that he switched from that username to Conspyre.tv some time after July 8th, 2021–the last direct mention of the username from an archive of Horat’s posts. Horat’s Bitchute links back to Conspyre.tv and his deleted Twitter links to the abandoned Veritas World News site. Conspyre.tv’s domain history indicates that it was first registered in 2021 but historical records may be incomplete. While Burrow would later bill itself as a “high end” cache of redpills, Conspyre.tv opted for quantity over quality. By April 2022, Horat was hyping his channel in the Telegram channel for DisclosureHub, Chace Allen Felix’s conspiracy theory content farm. He claimed to have “6TB of curated conspiracy content that I have collected to share with the world.”

Horat was eager to get Felix and his followers to notice him—and for good reason. Felix had a large following eager to believe every conspiracy theory under the sun. Through DisclosureHub’s Telegram channel and associate social media profiles, Felix would share a plethora of his own and others’ conspiracy videos. The main DisclosureHub Telegram channel has nearly 90,000 subscribers at the time of writing. Felix’s (“professional” conspiracy-oriented, not personal) Tik Tok regularly receives views in the tens of thousands. Felix’s BitChute had nearly 28,000 subscribers–while Horat’s had only 52. Both men have a penchant for archiving and reposting extremist content. But Felix had amassed an audience. Horat hadn’t.

In July 2022, Horat posted that he could put Conspyre.tv on Roku. By August, he claimed it was up in beta form. The Roku channel was well-liked by his users, and it finally allowed him to get Felix’s attention.

Analysis of Horat’s projects on the software hosting site Github show Conspyre.tv and Burrow pull their video content from the same pool. Conspyre.tv is essentially a clearing house for conspiracy theorist films while Burrow is curated to appeal to the susceptible but uninitiated “normies.” For example, the neo-Nazi propaganda film Europa: The Last Battle appears on Conspyre.tv, but it wasn’t picked for Burrow for obvious reasons.

TECHNICAL LINKS BETWEEN CONSPYRE AND BURROW
Horat’s Roku repository on GitHub shows that both Conspyre.tv and Burrow’s channels pull from the same resources and rely on the same functions script–that is, one file defines both Conspyre.tv and Burrow’s functionality. To put it another way, Conspyre.tv and Burrow are both different means of accessing the same pool of content, though Horat can pick and choose to some extent what’s on either platform. Some users and their associated playlists are marked only to populate on Conspyre.tv. Others are marked to populate on either. Many appear in both scripts.

One of Horat's Truth Social posts regarding his Roku channels. It was posted on December 18, 2022. The post reads,

One of Horat’s Truth Social posts regarding his Roku channels.

On Truth Social, Horat characterized the two Roku channels as existing on a spectrum. Burrow was “calibrated for the normies,” thanks to its DisclosureHub content. Presumably, the larger selection of content—including neo-Nazi propaganda like Europa: The Last Battle—on Conspyre.tv is meant for those already redpilled and searching for more extreme content.

A section of the script for Burrow lists categories curated by DisclosureHub, according to comments on GitHub left by Horat. Since both scripts use the same arguments in their “createOutput” functions, the playlist IDs from either channel are querying the same resource. In other words, both channels ask the same domain the same questions when requesting content, meaning that identical IDs in both scripts should and do produce the same playlist.

Mama glock’s Tik Tok account disappeared shortly after the post. An archived version of her bio reads, “gonna use this ***** til they kick me off. Again.” But the video evangelizing Burrow did numbers before she was shut down. A snapshot from the day of the post shows it was shared almost 17 thousand times. Five days later, the video’s views jumped to 31,000. Likewise, the video’s likes had increased from 48,000 to 151,000. Google Trends shows that while interest was already picking up for Burrow before “mama glock”’s video was posted, it increased sharply afterwards.

Once it launched on December 5th, Burrow rapidly grew their viewership on Roku’s service, reaching over 300,000 installs by Christmas, and even making the viral rounds outside those spheres. Mama glock’s (now-deleted) TikTok promoting the channel reached over 12 million views and Burrow-relevant Google searches skyrocketed soon after. Throughout the channel’s early days, Felix urged his followers on Telegram to support Burrow by spreading the word, installing the channel onto families’ Rokus, buying new Rokus as gifts, and instructing them with messages like “NEVER STOP REDPILLING THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.” His advertisements were usually followed by video instructions on how to repost content and avoid content flags, and what conspiracy documentaries he recommends to clip from.

This graph of channel engagement is supposedly from Burrow's back end. Parameters are visible: it's displaying one week, it's breaking that down by day, and it's tracking US viewers. There is hardly any growth from Friday, December 16th until the 19th. There, visitors increases nearly seven-fold, and viewers increases nearly five-fold.

This graph of channel engagement is supposedly from Burrow’s back end. It tracks visitors and viewers. These variables are represented by lines that rise or fall. Both lines hardly rise from December 16th until the 19th, where both lines rise by tens of thousands.

It’s difficult to confirm Felix’s numbers, but Burrow did indeed see substantial growth. SimilarWeb, a site that ranks domains by popularity, indicates significant growth in visits to Consypre.tv’s website following the launch of the Conspyre.tv Roku channel. While data from December isn’t available as of this writing, “Conspyre.tv’s global ranking has increased from 2,678,575 to 960,275” from September to November.

Users of DisclosureHubChat affirmed the impact of Burrow. In response to Felix sharing positive feedback, one user wrote, “I live on fixed income but if I ever get extra money from anywhere I plan to send you a portion for sure. Never stop speaking truth!”

CHACE “six9unit” FELIX

This image of Felix was taken from his public FacebookThis image of Felix was taken from a promotional video he made for his CBD products.

An October 10th 2022 Telegram message refers to Chace as Allen. One of his YouTube channels is named Allen GMG. The DisclosureHub Cash App is listed as belonging to one Allen Chace. Numerous court documents refer to Felix as “Chace A. Felix,” and Vermont birth records confirm one Chace Allen Felix was born in Essex in 1990. The listed father has been linked to Chace elsewhere.

Chace Allen Felix produced music under the aliases Paper Chace and six9unit from 2009 until the mid-2010s. Felix claims he started writing music in 9th grade. In 2013, Felix was arrested for an indoor marijuana growing operation. By 2015, the six9unit YouTube channel hosted slideshows of parties he’d organized under his entertainment venture, VTVybe. That same year, he founded an electronics repair business in Vermont called VT Tech Wreck. He’s now pivoted to distributing 5G and COVID-19 disinfo and other conspiracy theory content.

During the pandemic, Chace began an anti-lockdown organizing effort called VT Vault and started DisclosureHub, a website and Telegram channel that has since produced viral content that runs the gamut from COVID-19 misinformation to cloning conspiracy theories. Tech Wreck’s Facebook page is now just another hub where he re-posts COVID-19 misinformation.

In 2022, Felix filed incorporating papers for Green Mountain Greenery, a CBD company. He took some half-hearted measures to hide his identity on Telegram–but wasn’t consistent about it. He presented Green Mountain Greenery as a “sponsor” of DisclosureHub distinct from himself and otherwise tried to maintain some semblance of separation.

Green Mountain Greenery’s incorporation papers revealed his full name, which yielded his social media accounts. As noted, he’s been posting music on YouTube and Facebook for some time, often using the Vermont area code in his names and graphic design.

He also filed incorporation documents for VT Tech Wreck. Both it and Green Mountain Greenery have addresses listed that are possible home addresses for Felix–one in Winooski and the other in Essex Junction. A video in which Felix reads signs on a 5G tower’s fence reveals the tower’s management company is located in Essex as well.

Further, the address in Winooski possesses a distinctive window arrangement. These windows appear to match ones in videos from 2015 first posted on musical.ly and then on TikTok. The address in Essex Junction matches a Tik Tok posted in 2020, where the residence in view has the same paint color and siding, as well as the same style and color of trim.

FELIX’S 5G FIXATION
Felix has a near-obsession with 5G, even posting about it on his personal and professional social media. On his personal Facebook page, a post attempts to link the COVID-19 pandemic to 5G. He reposts similar content on the VT Tech Wreck page, including a video where he approaches a tower’s fence to read the signage for his viewers.

Across his various platforms and accounts, Felix has made a Bible’s-load of claims about 5G. He claims they’re “weapons of war” and that they cause acute radiation syndrome. In the content from the EMR/RF DANGERS page from VT Vault, he claims that a multitude of symptoms are caused by 5G exposure and electromagnetic radiation, including, but not limited to: anxiety, schizophrenia, cancer, and the entire COVID-19 pandemic.

Felix has also attributed his own health issues to 5G and
electromagnetic radiation. In a video titled “HOW I WAS SAVED (SERIOUSLY) FROM THE RECENT 5G ATTACK (ROLLOUT) AND SYMPTOMS,” Felix described his symptoms that he attributed to 5G and WiFi exposure. They include nausea, dizziness, headaches, and “watery poop.” He then claimed his symptoms were indicative of Acute Radiation Syndrome, an illness caused by a high dose of radiation penetrating the body in a short time.

In reality, electromagnetic radiation does not become dangerous until it nears 3 million GHz. 5G cellular networks operate at 39 GHz at most. Despite this, Felix expressed certainty that his symptoms were relieved by a variety of silver-lined products. “This shit saved my life,” he said.

Felix’s 5G fears motivated the launch of a 5G-defense clothing brand, Quantame. In an unlisted YouTube video from May of 2022, he outlines a number of clothing products designed to insulate the wearer from 5G and Wi-Fi radiation.

The terminology Felix uses is inconsistent, swapping between EMR, EMI, EMF, and radiation regularly. A scarf pictured in the video is referred to as a “EMF EMI Protection Headgear Scarf Blocking Radiation Wifi Bandana” by the caption. In the same video, Felix claims that the products he sells saved his dog’s life.

He claimed that his dog’s panting and shaking could not be diagnosed by veterinarians, but wrapping his dog in silver-threaded fabric alleviated it. He said that “I know they’re attacking my dog with frequencies.” He did not specify who he thought was attacking his dog, but tells viewers that Quantame clothing is a must-have for conspiracy theorists, attempting to show it’s perfect to defend them against similar attacks–as well as to escape headaches, nausea, and other symptoms of radiation poisoning.

Where Quantame aims to provide a defense against EMR, Felix’s CBD products are advertised as a curative to the supposed damage.

The ad consists of a tincture of CBD photoshopped over a cannabis leaf, with several lines of text.

This advertisement was hosted on Conspyre.tv’s ad server.

VTVault ads exposed on Conspyre.tv’s ad server promise relief from insomnia, anxiety, and EMF/EMR damage. On Green Mountain Greenery’s Shopify, users can purchase tinctures of MCT oil infused with various trending ingredients for $60 to $90. One such mixture involves white pine needles, ostensibly to justify listing Suramin and Shikimic Acid as ingredients–both of which have been touted as COVID-19 cures. White pine needles do not contain Suramin, and Shikimic Acid is potentially toxic.

While the Shopify page also contains links to fund Burrow or purchase an external hard drive pre-filled with conspiracy theory content, CBD is conspicuously absent. Although Felix has produced his own testimonial video for the CBD products that his company offers, users are directed to call him at his listed number.

“This is the perfect time for you to give me a call,” said Felix. The website reiterates this point: “If you want to order CBD you can do so by phone ONLY.”

WALTER “TERMINALLY ONLINE” HORAT
This is a Truth Social post by Horat on 9/11 of last year. It consists of a text component and an image. The text reads,

This Truth Social post was posted on 9/11 of last year. A 2009 paper on the site notes that “the bedrock at the World Trade Center site was scoured into deep plunge pools and potholes, especially around the contact zone between schistose rock and large masses of hard granite pegmatite.”

Burrow’s other creator, Walt Horat, is a longtime poster. As a teenager in 1980, he was chastised by the admin of the 8BBS bulletin board over hostile language.

The reprimand read, “Your msg to Jim H. was NOT appropriate for this system. Refrain from expressing yourself in such a manner on 8BBS.”

Young Horat would return to 8BBS to advertise his location and phone number to facilitate software trading.

Horat’s relationship with personal computing never waned and he went on to program a variety of software. From 2000 until 2006, he worked on audio and network communication applications and, in 2006, he founded the company Flying Chao to develop and sell binaural beats along with a tool to listen to them. Binaural Beat advocates tout a broad range of supposed benefits, from better mood to enhanced focus, but the science is dubious. One 2020 study found that binaural beats did not have “any impact on cognitive performance or mood change.” Flying Chao’s principal product, Headspace Explorer, was shown at Macworld Expo 2007.

Horat also worked on audio-related applications through 2015, when he left GenAudio Inc. The same year, its CEO was indicted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. After this, Horat worked on iOS applications for a handful of major companies and tried his hand at more startups. In 2018 he landed a position at InfoSys and, in 2019, he started work on Conspyre.tv.

Horat would live and work around the San Francisco Bay Area for years. He also listed an address in Venice, California on the domain registry for his personal site, and consulted for a company in Burbank.


Horat has owned parrots since at least 2006 and has occasionally posted about them, even testing the livestream capabilities on his website with a live feed entitled Birdcam. In a 2018 video, Horat can be heard encouraging his pomeranian and parrot to fight. His distinctive voice is also heard in screen recordings of voice messages sent to Felix over telegram.


Felix plays a voice message from Horat for his Telegram channel.

Horat was never just a programmer. His interest in conspiracy theories is affirmed by his old personal site on which he listed out topics that interest him. In 2014, he described conspiracy theories as “what the world looks like without the blinders and wool over your eyes.” He’s also maintained his commitment to arguing with strangers on the internet.

While discussing binaural beats software online, Horat got into arguments with other users over things like profit incentive and ownership of open source software. One such argument occurred in a 2007 email chain for SBaGen, a software for generating binaural beats. To one user, Horat wrote, “All names and e-mail addresses involved in this thread are saved for the potential future event that I see your resume on my desk for a tech. job. I make it a policy not to hire idiots…’What? You say there could be future consequences for past actions?!?’”

He has also chosen to berate service workers and document it online. After witnessing a pharmacist administer a COVID-19 vaccine in May last year, he referred to them as a “stupid fucking *****.” He then characterized her stunned silence in response to a volley of conspiracy theories as stupidity. After AT&T sent an employee to Horat’s home to diagnose an internet outage in February of 2022, Horat told an AT&T sales engineer that it was a “retarded waste of time” for the company to have sent her. Horat bragged that he “really had a good laugh at her expense, and made her understand her own stupidity without even trying.”

He added, “I have done it. I have achieved “zero filter and no fucks given” level. It feels good. [sunglasses emoji].”

Horat is visible from the waist up, sitting on a couch with one leg crossed to rest its foot on the opposite knee. He is using a Macbook, he has numerous rings on the visible hand, and a rainbow-sequin shirt. He is looking down at his laptop, smirking slightly. He is wearing glasses, has a soul patch, and a mustache. He has two visible necklaces, one of which is Crowley's unicursal hexagram.

This 2008 image of Horat was pulled from Facebook.
-
This image of Horat was pulled from his unlisted Facebook. He appears to be wearing the same unicursal hexagram necklace as the 2008 photo.

Walt Horat’s work on Bias Inc’s Deck II software cites Horat as “Walter Horat” in the manual. The same work is cited on his LinkedIn, which is under the name Walt Horat.

Court searches revealed evictions in the San Francisco Bay Area under the name Walter Horat. Horat once reviewed a San Rafael business on Google Maps, so LCRW searched court records in that city. One Walter Horat was charged for “keeping a house of prostitution and aiding in prostitution” in San Rafael in 2017. According to a San Rafael Police Department press release:

“Horat admitted to allowing the female to work at his apartment for prostitution and helped her buy supplies that aided in acts of prostitution…Officers found evidence that other females possibly work at the same address but there was no indication that any of them were juveniles. Officers are investigating leads as to others involved in this trafficking operation.”

At the time of writing, the San Rafael Police Department has not responded to LCRW’s public records request.

Additionally, a 2004 Washoe county marriage license for one Walter Horat and a woman LCRW is not naming to respect her privacy possibly matches a domestic violence incident between one Walter Horat and a woman with the same name in San Francisco in 2004.

On GitHub, Horat posted a photo from a webcam while testing live streaming capabilities. This photo included the top of his head and the interior of his residence. While sharing logs to troubleshoot this particular issue, Horat unintentionally posted his IP address. His IP resolves back to El Monte, a city in Los Angeles County. This IP is served by AT&T and Walt has talked about berating a sales engineer with the company in his home on social media.

Whitepages contains several possible addresses for Horat, one of which is in El Monte. A Google Street View record of the residence in El Monte matches Walt’s post in several key areas: the placement of trees, the placement of the fencing, and placement of a window relative to the placement of the front door and the appearance of its gate.

In October 2021, Horat posted to GitHub that he was moving. A Truth Social post by Horat on November 8th, 2022 contains a weather alert that corresponds to a severe weather event in Los Angeles County that same day. This places Horat in the county just over a year after moving.

On Linkedin, Horat lists Infosys as a current job alongside Conspyre.tv and Burrow. Using the naming convention associated with Infosys emails, a user walt_horat exists under the Infosys domain, and is associated with an Office365 account. Tests confirm that Infosys is associated with such Microsoft services. To put it another way, it is highly likely a user with the handle walt_horat exists for Infosys’s Microsoft resources.

LCRW reached out to InfoSys for comment and have not heard back at press time.

A Blossoming Partnership
Horat didn’t try to reach out to Felix personally until April 4th, 2022, but Horat’s first post in Felix’s DisclosureHub chat was on March 19 that year.

Felix and Horat’s partnership began like many do, with Horat irate over a bot deleting his self-promotional posts.

“That’s the reason I run my own infrastructure. No fucking censorship…Leaving this ridiculous censorship den now. Bye,” he wrote.

Walt would post later that same month asking for assistance in archiving DisclosureHub’s content.

In August, after writing that the Conspyre.tv channel on Roku was in beta, Horat advertised it in the DisclosureHub Telegram. He wrote that DisclosureHub was on the channel three times, likely constructed from his own rips of DisclosureHub’s content. On September 1st, Horat responded to Felix’s call for collaborators. The next day, Felix polled his users as to the desirability of a DisclosureHub Roku channel. On September 4th, Felix posted a Conspyre.tv link for the first time, nearly six months after Walt’s first post in the channel. On December 5th, Felix announced the Burrow channel on Telegram. Horat did the same on Truth Social.

Felix would continue to discuss the management of both Conspyre and Burrow after launching the channel. He had a vision for what he wanted the channels to be.

“The Conspire Live is a bunch of podcasters and stuff. If you have good enough content, I could probably link you up with that side,” said Felix in a voice message addressing the entire Telegram channel.

Elaborating on his desire to curate content creators for the platform, he continued, “you’d have to have really, really good content because this is–we’re trying to wake people up, not turn them off. There are some people who are really good at researching, but they just don’t have a voice or they get scared when they’re on camera, or they just don’t have the right software.”

“So, I mean, there’s a bunch of criteria you’d have to meet. And it sucks because I’d love for everybody who wants to make a difference to hop on. But unfortunately, we’re making it a high end red pill channel,“ he said.

This screenshot of a Gab post by Horat contains both text and an image. The text reads,

Horat promoted an entry-level Roku device alongside the launch of Burrow. This Gab was one of several posts.
-
Felix promoted the same Roku device on Telegram as Horat did on Gab. He attached a video in which he promotes Burrow and scrolls through its content.

Both Horat and Felix recommended that their followers purchase a Roku for their family members for Christmas and to, of course, install the Burrow channel on it. Posting to both Truth Social and Gab, Horat advertised Burrow alongside a Walmart link for the Roku Premiere, a $16 streaming device.

Horat tried to further entice his followers by noting the presence of “over 2,500 red pills ready to roll, just add butts to seat cushions. Red pill your family and friends this holiday season, just drop by and install the channel on their devices (or gift them one).”

Groups like “Qanon’s Supporters” and “Qanon Patriots” were targeted in particular, with Horat cross-posting this to each.

THE FILTH
It’s worth noting what kind of people Horat and Felix were selling their ideas to. The DisclosureHub chat room is rife with bigotry. Racism, homophobia, veiled and explicit antisemitism and COVID-19 misinformation constitute a majority of the channel’s discourse.

It’s worth noting what kind of people Horat and Felix were selling their ideas to. The DisclosureHub chat room is rife with bigotry. Racism, homophobia, veiled and explicit antisemitism and COVID-19 misinformation constitute a majority of the channel’s discourse.

When sharing a trailer for the upcoming Little Mermaid reboot, Felix wrote, “white girl’s voice, black Mermaid, and more forced diversity that will bomb at the box office.” “Forced diversity” is a racist conspiracy theory that Hollywood is trying to put non-white actors in white roles as a prelude to marginalizing white people.

Felix also discussed the supposed secret homosexuality of successful rappers on several occasions, going so far as to say that it’s well-known among those who aren’t “normies.” This intersection of rap music and homosexuality goes further. Felix edited a clip of Lil Nas X jokingly describing a gay agenda, wherein Nas X hits common conspiracy talking points to lampoon the homophobic conspiracy theory. Felix insists this proves the homosexual agenda conspiracy theory is real, “even if [Nas X is] joking.”

This screenshot has text from top to bottom. At the top, there's a textbox which reads

In this Tik Tok, Felix willfully misinterprets Lil Nas X’s joke. There’s footage from the film Eyes Wide Shut interspersed throughout.
-
Another screenshot from the same Tik Tok. The low-resolution syringe comes on screen as Lil Nas X jokes that there’s a plot to turn people gay.

During the video, when Lil Nas X jokingly says the gay agenda involves turning everyone gay and decreasing the world population, Felix places a syringe emoji on screen. Seconds later, he adds a screenshot of the Wikipedia article for the “Gay Bomb”, a hypothetical weapon that could turn victims gay. Notably, the screenshot is cut just before the “background” section of the article, of which the first line reads, “No well-controlled scientific studies have ever been published suggesting the possibility of pheromones causing rapid behavioral changes in humans.”

At one point, Felix called his father an ableist slur for getting vaccinated against COVID-19. But Felix’s paranoid bigotry goes even further. The DisclosureHubChat Telegram channel is rife with antisemitism.

In February 2022, alt-media sites were focused on the far-right Trucker Convoy. The DisclosureHubChat channel opened on the 12th of that month and discourse naturally tended to focus on the convoy. Six days after the channel was founded, a now-deleted user tacitly defended the Gestapo when one user compared Ottawan police to the Nazis.

“Gestapo, more like jewish Weimar Republic or the jewish Bolsheviks,” they wrote.

This now-deleted user’s telegram ID matches other messages in the channel. When user Irate Pirate called the police Nazis for their treatment of the convoy, the now-deleted user defended Nazi Germany and impugned Jewish people. “Bolsheviks Jews, not nazis!!! Wake Up to who Our Enemy is,” they wrote.

This anti-semitic culture permeating the chat was encouraged by the content that Felix posted.

On June 20, Felix posted a video with the caption “Gay Jew exposes Gay Jews or is he?” The attached video is from the neo-Nazi streamers at Goyim TV. In the clip, a man goes on Omegle, speaks in a mocking “gay” affectation, and self identifies as a gay Jewish man. After claiming Jewish people control the world, he drops the accent. After seemingly convincing the other omegle user to be more actively antisemitic, he says white power and recommends Europa: the Last Battle, a Neo-Nazi propaganda film about World War II.

On August 16, Felix shared his thoughts on the grooming gang hoax, an islamophobic lie spread by alt-right figures.

“Strange that Jews and Muslim both want ALL non believers dead…. and they both are after kids…..HMM,” he said.On October 14, Felix felt compelled to explain his position on Jewish people. To provide context to his followers, Felix notes that Ghost Ezra, a then-prominent QAnon influencer, hates Jews, and wants them all to die.


Felix tries to define his antisemitism against Ghost Ezra’s overt calls for extermination.

“Us? Not all jews are bad. Not all jews know what’s going on. The fake jews are the bad ones,” he said in a voice file on Telegram. Then, after mentioning the “Khazarian Mafia,” an antisemitic conspiracy theory which alleges a Jewish cabal descended from maligned Turkic converts controls the world, Felix said “I don’t write off every single jew, in fact I have a couple jewish friends.”

Felix was not alone. The DisclosureHubChat Telegram channel discussed Jewish people frequently. One percent of messages in the channel pertain to Jewish people when LCRW archived it on December 29, 2022. These discussions were generally conspiratorial in nature, and often antisemitic.

Despite this, Horat found Felix to be the right person to approach and, in fact, insisted upon their partnership.

Eight days after Burrow launched on Roku, Felix shared a video from the Conspyre.tv website–a one hour video entitled “Jewish Ritual Murder” that perpetuates, and expands upon, the antisemitic myth of blood libel.

Just a quick exercise in "you can find an "expert" who'll say basically anything." Like this man definitely is smart. He's a neurosurgeon. But he's also clearly very very stupid.

I mean, our current cryofreeze industry works on the same "logic": "One day our technology will be advanced enough we can clone you a new body and undue the damage caused to your brain by us freezing it, please will us all of your money"

Perfect scam, really

"Could"

"One day"

"Be possible"

Ahhh yes. Promising words for most science fiction writers. Not so much for anyone wanting a bit of solid newly discovered information though.

Never quite sure exactly what he is doing in that scene. Spends awhile pulling apart two guns to make parts for another one, checks the timing and then fires the gun once and runs off to find other weapons.
It's obviously some esoteric 'world's best hitman' thumb fiddling knowledge that make gun do kill better. Keanu wouldn't lie to us. 👀

Ok, it's a movie reference (had heard that before), but what is Wick actually doing and why? Unless he's re-enacting a movie scene for its own sake while on the run.

EDIT: I mean, he's never made a custom gun out of different parts before, and then he fires it once and drops it and goes back to killing everyone without guns.

This is the real reason they are coming after Tik Tok.
No, it's purely economic protectionism against their biggest geopolitical rival.

The best they can say is that due to Chinese law, everyone giving their personal details to a Chinese company really is potentially a slightly higher risk than giving it to Facebook, Google, etc. And that's "slightly" at the very most, when we think what FB has done with users' data.

Well I suppose theoretically it's a mechanical device and the way the parts fit together might make a more reliable gun. Having shot guns like those before I could make up some garbage about tight fitting improving accuracy. Not enough to matter, especially at that range.

Just about anything is likely to be feasible given enough time and technological development.

Other than that, this guy is full of shit. I can see how you might be able to transfer a brain/head onto a new body and keep it minimally alive for a while: that (mostly) just needs connecting up the blood supply from the body to provide oxygen and nutrients and remove waste. But what the fuck then? That brain is completely disconnected from the entire spine and peripheral nervous system. It can't control anything in the body it's been put in, and the body can provide no sensory information back to the brain. This is completely useless for any function beyond keeping the brain (sort of) alive. Lord knows they'd better be kept unconscious, because experiments suggest extended periods of sensory deprivation do really horrible things. And if all you want to do is keep a brain alive, it'd probably be easier just to build a device.

I can perhaps put this very simply: until we've achieved the breakthrough of major nerve repair, no-one's going to meaningfully move heads / brains to new bodies. But I guess in the meantime this guy can have his fun inspiring stupid headlines and seeing if he can persuade the gullible to fund his pointless research.

More on the unfolding tragicomedy of George Santos. Leaning more on the tragedy side.

Retired veteran Richard Osthoff and a retired police sergeant have attested that George Santos, under the name Anthony Devolder (which is known to be a name he has gone by) set up a GoFundMe page to receive donations for the removal of a stomach tumour suffered by Osthoff's pet dog. He did so via his registered charity, Friends of Pets United, so that GoFundMe would also contribute.

Santos instructed Osthoff to travel to another state to go to a specific hospital, only for the veterinarian to say they would be unable to operate on it there. Afterwards, Santos closed the funding campaign, took the money, and stopped answering calls. Osthoff has shown the text conversations with "Devolder" to back this up, and he's also backed up by the retired Sgt.

The dog did not receive the medical care that was crowdfunded, and has died.
I'm just waiting for Santos to claim that he was the dog, and he made a miraculous recovery.
