I’ve always wondered how you have such a grasp on this material and this post explains that. Please take care of yourself, Jim. You’re a treasure. And as always, TY.

Hey Jim, never think that you are not making a positive difference in our world. That notion gains traction the moment we admit our weaknesses and blind spots. You've set an example in diligence, and I use your material as reference material in explaining the conduct of these charlatans, these merchants of malice as they ruthlessly prey upon the vulnerable. Please continue and don't let the rotten SOB's get you down. Thanks

Please keep on being just as damned stubborn as you wish.

Since I discovered it, I've enjoyed making food and pouring wine for smart and curious friends who get the world at large but, then casually play "American Mindfuck" for them as dessert.

Great discussion occurs during and after.

Thank you for submersing yourself with caution, intelligence and skepticism to see how the other side manipulate what began as a fun, altruistic and lighthearted endeavor which was co-opted or downright plagiarized with nefarious and brainwashing outcomes, clearly illustrated in the doc.

Decency is not found in the 'deep state.' They made it up. Accusations are confessions and they seem to be spewing them at a KKKaroline 'Machine Gun' Leavitt pace. (They are really trying to give her MAGA face. It will take time and it too, will melt).

Having moved to the EU/ UK last month has done wonders for my physical health. Highly recommend even a visit, away from a country which was called a "melting pot' growing up but clearly now want to be a Minute Rice cooker, if they have their way. How white is that?

Trump rewriting history, currently launching an “investigation” into Jack Smith.

Curiously, 6 months in, no probe whatsoever into the mysterious cabal that sent Thomas Matthew Crooks to assassinate him…in key swing state & birthplace of his political rival, Joe Biden, just days before the Republican National Convention, miraculously reinvigorating his flailing campaign.🙄

Trump launched his campaign in Waco Texas, the spiritual homeland of Right Wing Extremism, manipulative symbolism abounds.

Jim, do you think Putin placed the Epstein conspiracy at the heart of QAnon for the express purpose of keeping Trump in check?

It's providing a convenient off ramp for a Thiel/Vance replacement.

The voice crying in the wilderness that has been almost totally ignored. We truly are doomed as we have no leaders to fight back and no billionaires on the side of democracy and freedom that care about anything but their tax breaks and continual amassing if their fortune.

Oh my, Jim. This is incredible. It definitely helps to explain the "why" people (diehards) continue to follow Trump/be part of MAGA.

Sadly, this all fits with much of what I have seen over the years

Can you put a worm in their computer program to shut it down??? Have you exposed the bad actors doing Q-anon? I haven’t been on Substack but maybe 3 months so I am sort of behind on this.

I don't want to speak for Jim but what I've gathered is Thiels maga3x PAC from 2015 and trolls adjacent to that started pizzagate and qanon. qanon was started by Microchip, James Brower and released into the wild. It was later promoted by people like Jack Posobiac, Mike Flynn and of course many maga politicians. This gave it an appearance of legitimacy which enabled funneling it's victims thought, behavior and actions around political topics. In part due to several of its creators and promoters significant military experience, victims believed Q had inside intelligence, short circuiting their need to research reputable information sources.

For clarity, maga3x was never formalized as a PAC, it was a decentralized narrative warfare operation. It's been reported that Jeff Giesea took Thiel's funds to pay for narrative warfare operations such as Weev, Cernovich and others.

I refer to it as a PAC because a person with significant wealth is strongly attributed to have provided financial or other value in support of influencing and election. Which by the way, is illegal without a superpac.

No it was a real PAC. Thiel funded it.

Thanks for clarifying, Jim. I couldn't find the filings but didn't dig that hard. Checking notes...

Thank you, Jim, for all of your work and dedication to getting the truth out. I appreciate your posts. What’s being done to our country is complicated. People don’t realize it’s a war, because it’s not like previous wars where you can see the army in the distance coming towards you. As you’ve written, it’s a psychological war. It’s insidious, as people may not realize what’s happening until it’s too late. We need to get this information out so that people can start thinking critically and for themselves again.

I just know that what you’ve revealed is true. Many more will someday know it too. I think you are much motivated by telling the truth. It’s that simple.

Masterfully put together read! We need to share this with MAGA friends. If they can logically follow what you are saying, maybe some eyes will be opened
