@kim_harding Pay attention! These "researchers" are a company, a so-called research institute, #EpochAI, working for business: epoch.ai/about - and the bad boys!
They are more interested in benchmarking than in the truth.

I am extremely sceptical that they present any data independently, especially when it comes to environmental damage (couldn't find anything).
It stinks of one of these #lobbyism "institutes"! It stinks very much.

“The American people will have no patience” for any museum that is “uncomfortable conveying a *positive view of American history*,” wrote Domestic Policy Council director Vince Haley & White House budget director [#Project2025 architect] #RussVought.

It replaced a photo by photojournalist Matt McClain, which showed #Trump with his hands folded in front of him, & was accompanied by a longer caption recounting Trump’s first term & his reelection. “Impeached twice, on charges of #AbuseOfPower & #incitement of #insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials,” it read in part.

Just think how pissed off Tom Clancy would have been today.

For over 30 years, he diligently worked on whitewashing the CIA's (traditionally very bad) reputation, and now a senile, rotting, orange village idiot destroyed all that retroactive rehabilitation effort overnight.

We knew it was all crap, Tom, but at least you let us play along and pretend for a while.

White House publishes website that rewrites history of Jan. 6 attack

Five years after a mob of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol to stop certification of Joe Biden’s victory, the Trump administration is still fixated on a false narrative.

By Amy B Wang

The White House published a website Tuesday with a false telling of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, underscoring President Donald Trump’s years-long effort to reshape the narrative surrounding the day when a mob of his supporters violently overran the U.S. Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral college victory.

The White House website criticizes Democrats and some Republicans for engaging in what Trump has called a “witch hunt” against him after the Jan. 6 attack. Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury in August 2023 on four criminal counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, in a case investigating his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Former special counsel Jack Smith, who led the federal prosecution of Trump, told a House committee last month that the president bears the bulk of the blame for instigating the attack and emphasized that crimes occurred at the Capitol that day for Trump’s benefit.

Trump’s rhetoric led to a rampage inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob came within seconds of encountering Vice President Mike Pence, trapped lawmakers and vandalized the home of Congress in the worst desecration of the complex since British forces burned it in 1814. Five people died in the Jan. 6 attack or in the immediate aftermath, and 140 police officers were assaulted.

Following Trump’s second term

Smith dropped the case after Trump was reelected in 2024, citing federal regulations that prohibit prosecutions against sitting presidents.

“The evidence here made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy,” Smith testified to lawmakers last month, according to a transcript released by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee. “These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him.”

Trump also was impeached following the attack, but the Senate acquitted him during the subsequent trial. The attack — and Trump’s involvement — became the focus of a bipartisan House committee, whose members are prominently featured on the White House’s new website.

Among the five deaths was that of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who perished the following day after being assaulted in the riot. Among numerous false claimsin its recounting of Jan. 6, the White House website claims that “Zero law enforcement officers lost their lives,” making no mention of Sicknick. The riot also left about 140 members of law enforcement injured. Years later, the trauma of defending the Capitol that day has continued to dog many officers.

White House representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday afternoon.

#JackSmith is also expected to correct what he regards as mischaracterizations from #Republicans about his work, including about his team’s use of cellphone records belonging to certain GOP “lawmakers”….

The phone records reviewed by prosecutors included details only about the incoming & outgoing phone numbers and the length of the call but NOT the contents of the conversation.

#JackSmith was subpoenaed earlier this month to provide both testimony & documents, & his lawyers indicated that he would cooperate with the congressional demand despite having volunteered more than a month earlier to answer questions publicly before the cmte.

Smith is expected to discuss both of his investigations of #Trump but will not answer questions that call for grand jury materials, which are restricted by #law….

Someone kindly reached out to ask if I would consider speaking about Gaza Verified (gaza-verified.org/) at the Social Web Devroom being organised by the Social Web Foundation at FOSDEM.

My answer is no.

And I feel it’s important for those of us who care about such things to understand why:

• Social Web Foundation (socialwebfoundation.org) partners with, and thereby whitewashes and legitimises Meta

• FOSDEM (fosdem.org/2026) allows itself to be sponsored by, and thereby whitewashes and legitimises, Google and IBM (Red Hat)

Meta and Google are both surveillance capitalists with strong ties to the Trump regime that is arming and financing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. IBM, apart from having helped Nazi Germany carry out the Holocaust, is also singled out by name, alongside Google (Alphabet, Inc.), as complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people (‪aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/1/un).

It shouldn’t be hard for organisations that purport to be alternatives to toxic Big Tech to not be sponsored and affiliated with them. But apparently it is.

Personally, I have no trouble saying no to having my name and legitimacy being used to whitewash these corporations and I have been doing so since the beginning.

• ‪ ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-a

• ‪ ar.al/notes/rightscon-or-a-rig

I will not stand – literally or metaphorically – in front of their banners and talk about an initiative that tries to help the very people victimised by these corporations in their sociopathic quest for profit at any cost.

I hope more people start doing the same if we are to have any chance of making these corporations with their toxic business models and their complicity in genocide socially unacceptable. If we cannot even meet that already-very-low bar – as long as those of us with legitimacy allow ourselves to be used to normalise them – nothing will change.
