Kim Dotcom is recovering in hospital after reportedly suffering a "serious stroke" earlier this month.

Kim Dotcom is recovering in hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke earlier this month. Dotcom was taken to a local hospital on November 7 and then rushed to a regional hospital for treatment. A post to X in Dotcom’s name on Monday informed followers that after suffering “a serious stroke” his recovery is now in the hands of “the best health professionals.”

    Why?

    “Dotcom founded the Internet Party in New Zealand in 2014, promoting digital rights, privacy, and government transparency.”

    If someone is working these values in with them.

      If you believe Kim Dotcom is promoting those values you are a complete sucker. He consistently advocates for more authoritarian control over the Internet, not less. Plus:

      Dotcom has repeatedly spread anti-Ukrainian falsehoods, and Russian government propaganda.

      And

      In an August 2024 Twitter post, Dotcom quoted passages from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a discredited antisemitic text purporting to prove the existence of a Jewish conspiracy for world domination. That October, he promoted the neo-Nazi propaganda film Europa: The Last Battle.

        Christ, imagine propagating The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 2024. Its got to be one of the most debunked documents in history:

        The spurious character of the Protocols was first revealed in 1921 by Philip Graves of The Times (London), who demonstrated their obvious resemblance to a satire on Napoleon III by the French lawyer Maurice Joly, published in 1864 and entitled Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu (“Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu”). Subsequent investigation, particularly by the Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev, revealed that the Protocols were forgeries compounded by officials of the Russian secret police out of the satire of Joly, a fantastic novel (Biarritz) by Hermann Goedsche (1868), and other sources.

        From Britannica

        They were literally debunked over 100 years ago.

      From the article, quoting him on Twitter just before the stroke:

      @KimDotcom How did the deep state communists think that they could get away with their bullshit? When the economy is flopping nobody cares about media lies and celebrity endorsements. Americans pay much more for the basics and they want to stop the bleeding from their wallets. It’s over!

      @KimDotcom Europe will be liberated next. This is your end @vonderleyen This is your end @Bundeskanzler This is your end@EmmanuelMacron This is your end @Keir_Starmer This is your end @ZelenskyyUa You are terrible. Get lost.

      So conspiracy theorist and hate monger at the very least. That didn’t inspire me to get to know him further.
