Hi Jim, I recently noticed that Zev and Eric are using Chuck Johnson as a resource...and had a little bit hard time to decide what to do. It all started with LB divorcing the Narrative podcasts for exactly the same reasons. I stopped sharing Eric and Zev (no amplification to Johnson is important, otherwise we are becoming part of the machine). I still read them from time to time, trying to figure out what the heck is going on here. What has Keri to do with them? I kinda trusted her and still do. However, I trust you too. From my point of view there are many divisive ops running right now (I recently noticed one in Czech information space, a mercenary pretending to fight for UA and after gaining enough supporters, he suddenly started to share RU propaganda doubting UA victims and moral credit. People are shocked, divided and confused.) Before, I was proud to recognize who is who and who belong where. Now I feel like a ship with broken orientation on the sea. When I observe myself, I am thinking: This might be the ultimate goal. Their syndicate is splitting up and turning one against other and so even some ops might be now regrouped and re-oriented. I am trying to stick with my basic sense, but except of the fact that Johnson is a holocaust denier (an absolute red flag to me), and the fact that you, Heidi, Hi-Fi and Sean are very credible people, I feel like stepping on fluid sands. It never happened to me before, I always knew who is who, even back then when Louis Mensch tried to brand herself as a member of the Resistance. So these are my feelings right now. Losing the ground under my feet.
Fuck this information space, we need absolutely a new configuration of our informarmation distribution, before it´s too late.
I mostly go with the method: To identify who is really speaking means to find out who are their mouthpieces not speaking about. And Zev with Eric spoke about Thiel, Musk and people around in one part. How is that possible that Johnson partners with Thiel? Is he an informant working for both sides? Is it a ruse? Why the heck did those two decide to join him? What was the problem with Eric, which led to similar result back then when LB and Greg suddenly stopped working with him and leaving us in the dark about what happened. Why is this situation repeating again and again . All of them seem to point to Netanyahu´s influence and RU influence, which is ok. What did I miss? Who plays who. Why was Zev stripped of Ads and why is LB not continuing her podcast. I got questions. Damned.
My piece has nothing to do with that. It’s about warning people that Charles Fucking Johnson, literal nazi, who has worked with Thiel for a decade, is running around with his PR agent lying to people. That is the point. Everyone else involved can speak for themselves. I am only speaking for myself.
I followed Eric for years. While I thought he was over the top sometimes, I had no problem with him at all until he started literally tweeting Chuck Johnson’s articles out. That is unacceptable. Period. He is exposing people to a Holocaust-denying, professional trauma merchant with no context at all. He needs to stop.
Cool. What I want to be careful of is not contributing to the drama, which leads to trauma, which is the purpose of all these ops at the end of the day.
The thing I try to focus on is the disinformation, because as you said above in a different way, the important part is the narrative they are pushing — and why.
I just reviewed a bunch of Garland’s tweets. He calls everyone that criticizes his takes ‘influence trolls’. Might be some projection going on. It’s depressing to see people I once appreciated move into the ‘suspect’ category…
I wondered what happened to Eric Garland. I followed him for a good long while, but more recently, it turned my stomach. Thanks for bringing our attention to this, Jim.

Agree with everything you stated Alex. I’m sticking with Jim and Radpod. 🤍🕊

I agree. And understand. I´m just sorry for losing my trust . That´s all

Keri Kukral was trying to smear the Meiselas brothers with her Kaepernick tweets (Ben represented Kaepernick). One of the reasons why I blocked her.
Oh Wow.
I just reviewed a bunch of Garland’s tweets. He calls everyone that criticizes his takes ‘influence trolls’. Might be some projection going on. It’s depressing to see people I once appreciated move into the ‘suspect’ category…
Me too Peter.
Thanks :)
Holy shit, Jim. So Keri Krukal, Eric Garland have drunk Chuck Johnson’s coolaid? I guess that must mean Zev Shakev has too.
Narativ is now the Eric Garland show.
The other day Eric said he would like to interview some right wingers and I wrote Zev when that happens I am gone.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. FUCK YEAH. ❤️
