I saw the image of this video and those eyes creeped me out.

After clicking the link, as it automatically starts playing, her voice sent a shiver down my spine. I had to quickly mute and scroll down to avoid looking at her. She looks and sounds like shes possessed by a demon lol





She sounds like Barack Obama when she makes her fake deep voice in this video.

Funny that you mention it - supposedly she tried to emulate Obama's speech patterns and Steve Jobs' wardrobe.

I've listened to her speak before but it never dawned on me she used the exact same inflection and intonation pattern as Obama in her speech. Damn that's some shit.

In the beginning of statements she uses inflection convey importance and stares for approval of the great goal, statement, or meaning. And near the very end intonation to convey the humbleness of that statement in her accomplishment or profoundess. It makes her very likable as someone who takes pride in her work and what she says but applies a humble tone t'word the end.

She's a complete sociapath. 100%. And I know it might be ill recieved here but I don't think Obama was, just a very likable puppet.

There's a popular phrase in Serbian about someone so ugly/hideous that you "wouldn't take a chestnut out of his/her hand". How the hell did she manage to swindle that kind of money is beyond me.

I agree with you about Obama. I never saw him as a sociopath. I just did not like his politics (he''s left and I'm right).

One thing you can say about Obama is that he was part of the Chicago Comprise, or whatever they call the clique of corrupt Chicago politicians that he was a part of. Obama was corrupt, but no worse than the standard that he came from (Chicago).

I agree that Holmes is a 100% certifiable sociopath.

What escalates the creep factor is that slight up and down twitch her head makes....like she's a clockwork automaton that's about to fall apart due to some loose screws.

Are you joking? Have you read post #412, about Tesla? People line up to get fleeced. There are numerous tech companies that have never earned a dime in profits, yet have massive valuations in the stock market.

History repeats itself. We are talking about the end time of Rome here. The same debasement of the currency, governance by sociopaths, the over-extended empire to every corner of the globe, people who have so much material wealth that they throw their money at idiotic investments that are beyond all reason, etc. Such people are just a sign of the times -- and are a reflection of the decay of society. Sixty years ago she would have been shunned. Anyone having anything to do with her would also be shunned.

I think I figured out how she got the investors to look the other way:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/05/...-thrilled/

Quote:In yet another jaw-dropping interview that seemed to be broadcast from an alternate universe, venture capitalist Tim Draper tenaciously defended the failed blood testing company Theranos and its disgraced founder and CEO, Elizabeth Holmes.

In the interview, which aired on CNBC, Draper called the limping start-up “one of those extraordinary companies” and said he was glad to have backed Holmes, whom he knows personally. Draper provided $500,000 in seed money when Holmes was just starting the company as a 19-year-old Stanford drop-out. “It was a great mission and she did a great job,” he said. “I’m thrilled with what she’s done."

He went so far as to call Holmes a “great icon,” to which CNBC “Closing Bell” co-host Kelly Evans responded bluntly: “Icon of what?”

She must be better at selling blowjob promises than a stripper pushing the VIP.

Or, perhaps, her well-connected family is better at trading favors than most.

Her connections in addition to a well-sold story made it easy for many people to WANT TO BELIEVE IN IT. It's a mix of feminism, girl-power-pushing and the old bullshit salesman-ship. They don't want to miss the new Apple or Microsoft. That woman milked this by dressing like Jobs, lowering her voice to sound more somber, she copied Obama's speech patterns and she used all her family connections to the utmost. No one could otherwise get a board like her.

The only thing missing was an actual product. The company thus became quickly a ponzi-scheme.

This bitch belongs in prison.

Lock her up!
Dulceácido · 2018-05-16 22:05:00 · #437
Come on! It was BRILLIANT (in a very interesting night-time telly kinda way).

Interesting looking girl with absurdly male voice--drops out of school, girl power!, goes on to make a fortune. Investors flock to her... Yeah! Go girl!

She just had no product. Doesn't matter. It's all for the feelz!

They are already starting to come out with articles that she was bullied into making the claims she did
Easy_C · 2018-05-17 07:49:00 · #439
wow. She really is a master at manipulating establishment sentiment to her own advantage. The same mentality that "We need a female Steve Jobs" created her and now the "women are oppressed by bullying males!" line will save her.

Venture capitalist Tim Draper said this on CNBC.

He's on the green, but still not quite close enough to make the putt. If he really wanted to turn Holmes into a victim, he needed to add that he thought she may also be the victim of SEXISM ™ and HUMAN TRAFFICKING ™!!!!!

Then and only then will we have all the media buzzwords and fictional victim narratives tied up in one neat little package.

This is the bitch that got away scott free with complete and utter fraud right? While Shkreli who didn't actually lose anyone money went to jail for it and going after hillary clinton on the internet. Seems fair and equal to me, definitely the ideal "equal" feminist society. Surely this female version of Jobs was just too paralyzed with fear from the evil man to speak up before peddling a complete lie of a product.

Not only that, but now Hollywood has stepped in to glorify this big ball of deception and dysfunction. This is being reported today:

"Legendary Entertainment has engaged Vanessa Taylor to write “Bad Blood,” which will be directed by Adam McKay and star Jennifer Lawrence as Elizabeth Holmes, Deadline reports."

Wonder if she sold her story for profit? The articles also says the movie will tell her "boom-to-bust" story. Well, that's a mischaracterization. There was no "boom." That word connotes big business. There was only stealing and lies.

Wonder if Holmes will wear those idiotic turtlenecks to the Hollywood galas or if the designers will outfit her with gowns. This is getting so ridiculous it's coming off like a parody by author Tom Wolfe (R.I.P.).

It's ridiculous, but look at the world we're living in. People in the UK are being arrested because of a joke. Purposely spreading AIDS in California is no big deal now. Tranny freak pre-pubescent children are to be celebrated. Diversity quotas in business are being normalized as profitable because the brainwashing says diversity has inherent value, which is nonsense. Simply being accused of "sexual misconduct" is enough to ruin your life. Everything Russian is bad. And now women are never guilty of anything because they are always pressured or bullied or driven to it by a man.

It was only a matter of time. Say goodbye to truth and objectivity and welcome feelings=truth mindset, even in the justice system. "Justice is Blind" my ass Dodgy

Seems related to narcissism? Is female behavior, gammaness, and narcissism, fitting under the same umbrella? Low self esteem causes them to feel the need to lie despite it being very transparent, to protect their manufactured persona.

I highly recommend Tom Wolfe's article on the history of Silicon Valley:

— Tom Wolfe, The tinkerings of Robert Noyce — how the sun rose on the Silicon Valley, Esquire Magazine, December 1983.

Wolfe claimed that the Valley was built mostly by hard-working, low-profile, salt-of-the-earth Midwestern engineers, not by hippies who hate their own civilization. Those who still think that Jobs & Woz created the Valley when they founded Apple in their mythological garage (after doing acid to get inspired to be "creative", of course) will definitely hate Wolfe's article.

Something Ventured is also a good documentary that focuses on the history of Venture Capital in SV

Absolutely true - California was created by the hard-working sun-loving protestants with their positive outlook on life and the Western/American Way. The nihilists and the postmodernists only came later spreading their vitriol and West-hating poison. It took them decades to permeate all colleges and seep into it.
