Finally someone has made sense of this whole saga. None of this would have been possible if the elites (including especially the media) didn’t believe in unicorns and rainbows and looking for confirmation at every turn.

A beautiful sociopath with great language skills. Pretty tough combo to resist.

The way you con somebody is to present him with something he WANTS to be true.

Her investors WANTED TO BELIEVE they were getting in at the beginning of a wildly brilliant women’s career. The WANTED to think they were supporting the next Steve Jobs. The wanted to think that in 10 years they could brag about how they saw her potential early.

This saga is proof that name recognition is what sells.

The elites who invested with her probably thought they were going to make a fortune too. Wanting to believe that overrode their common sense.

Stupidity is the coin of the realm. No one believes any single person in the Biden administration has deep and profound intelligence. They are, to a person, witless, bamboozled shills for a larger scheme to own everything. Money sets the agenda. Money pays the bills. And money decides what is important and what is not.

American patriots are clear headed enough to recognize a scam. The Biden and Bilderberg groups are scam artists, nothing more, nothing less. They own media, wall street, government, Big Tech, Big Pharm, the military, and all the banks. They are one with the money. Their interests are to control every aspect of human activity. They are winning.

It is not intelligence that drives this march into madness. It is power. Divest them of their power and they collapse like a punctured balloon. Doing just that is the next step in the plan.

Fortunately, it isn’t true. America’s ruling elites are screw-ups. For many, their only skill at all is having the right sex, skin color, or surname. Others once had real talent, but have aged into senility while refusing to pass the torch to others.

In genetics, there's a thing called "reversion to the mean". It is rare that those with exceptional ability fully passes those traits to their offspring. The offspring may be above average, but they will not be exceptional.

That is the vulnerability of a hereditary elite, people who got where they are because of their parents and connections.

CNBC has a show called American Greed, they ran a story on this entire mess.

Holmes came from a prominent Washington Family, according to friends of the family, even though they were very privileged it was never enough for the parents who wanted to be billionaire rich and privileged.

Their daughter was the one to make all that happen, she was star at everything she did, met up with her mentor who turned out to be her lover/partner who was significantly older than her.

Emails showed the two of them were frauds and scam artists.

She attracted a whose who of rich billionaire investors along with famous Washington Power Brokers.

She scammed people like Henry Kissinger, Rupert Murdoch, James Mattis, etc...

Very well-written article that really covers the mail on the Theranos scam and a whole lot more.

Is there something wrong with that?

All investors (which includes just about all humans in one way or another) want a good return on their investment (of time or money).

Bottom line, she is a sociopath.

Not often when you get the three money sentences in an article immediate next to each other - excellent stuff.

Many on the right are predisposed to see a deliberate plan behind even the most humiliating national catastrophe. If the Globalist American Empire looks like a garish joke (and it does), it must be that those in control know exactly what they are doing, and everything is going according to plan for their benefit.

Fortunately, it isn’t true. America’s ruling elites are screw-ups. For many, their only skill at all is having the right sex, skin color, or surname.

The problem is when you only see what you desire to see, and so fail to see what’s really there.

In investing, you always need to take a hard look at reality, and not get sucked into fantasy.

That is a beautifully written article.

She needs the max sentence.

Trump was an inexperienced fool for hiring Mattis.

The failure of her investors was in not demanding to see details and working prototypes, and have her science confirmed by outside experts, before investing big money.
