Brad Shuttleworth, a man who this week named Peter Thiel techie felon Andrew Auernheimer, AKA Weev, AKA theScreamingFly, as one of his friends, has many conundrums to contend with, the least of which being when he is going to see some personal accountability over his clandestine side job undermining US elections, federal investigations, etc as support. Here he is on a thread citing someone he has smeared for her once commenting back to Doxy’s anti-semite Rabite fren.
The answer to Brad’s final question is simply yes, he is full of shit. He of course knows that and admits to some of that, just not his being Brad.
First, no, Jim isn’t a public figure based on those statements Brad himself gives. Twitter account size doesn’t make one a public figure as Twitter isn’t exactly the real world, rather a current radicalization engine used to spread disinformation, malign influence, and stochastic terrorism.
Jim’s podcasting doesn’t make him a public figure either. Due to Brad’s and the MAGA3x networks efforts, the general public for the most part, would not recognize the non-celebrity, non-official, nor non-anything that qualifies one to be a public figure. Brad’s own accounting of Jim’s ledger is way too narrow.
Being a reporter like Steve Cuevas was, does meet the status of a past public figure, though not too sure if that would apply now that he begs white supremacists like Doug Matthew StewAnon Stewart for their expert advice on what lies to say about their mutual target.
Let’s look at both of these statements.
The first part the answer is research. Jim, while not a public figure, can’t both be notorious and lauded as an expert in the same breath as Brad did in this thread via Jim being repeatedly quoted in the mainstream media. The only ones who consider Jim to be notorious are guys like Brad that count convicted felons that ran Nazi websites as their besties.
The second part, a short term suspension for name-calling someone using an ablest term of ‘gimp,’ honestly isn’t newsworthy unless Mensch, Susan Portnoy or another operative makes it so by calling in a favor. The whole thing in reminiscent of Will Sommer’s Emili Molli Tim Pool cat piece in that outside of the Yonder klan, few people would know who anyone is due to the whole thing being esoteric. That’s also why my own blog here is written primarily with the operatives in mind as the intended audience…generally holding off on putting the hyperlinks back to the original source materials unless what I am saying is needed for a greater purpose.
Besides, I can back things I say up, things that Brad Shuttleworth can’t, even his false claim of not being Brad Shuttleworth, a known accomplice of Andrew Auernheimer, Susan Portnoy, Remi Barrette, Matt Donovan, and Mike Rothschild three of which may legally qualify as being public figures, can’t.
