Covering extremism and social media malign influence campaigns this past year is quite different than my past working on COVID misinformation or politics. For one, there are many unexpected twists and turns making it hard to know exactly who can be trusted and who can’t.
Even some of the conmen and conwomen can be trusted some of the time to tell the truth, often sandwiched within the bigger lies and deceit such as Susan Portnoy’s KassandraSeven admission of being also into women while clinging onto her flimsy cover story of being married to a non-existent man with an imagined daughter she hopes marries a woman. It is stuff like that, a nugget of realness within the refuse pile of lies that makes the Ops seem trustworthy and approachable to their general audience.
Yesterday Jim Stewartson put out a burn notice on Eric Garland. It is clear he has more information than what was given to make that difficult decision cutting loose a potential ally that clearly does have problematic and ever-increasing concrete examples of doing exactly what Stewartson has been saying regarding Eric for six months publicly and privately. With that final notice, Susan Portnoy and Brad Shuttleworth marked the occasion with typical lies.
Jim Stewartson was saying this stuff back in January at the time Suzy Q and her clan of fascist, supremacist miscreants had knocked him offline and off-kilter. And while Susan’s crowing here is really her just strutting, she too works for the same people, eventually, that Chuck Johnson does, because they all have the same ideologies, goals and oft repeated tactics pulled out of the same playbook.
China is a big national security issue due to its theft of technology and secrets; however, that threat is arguably minor compared to the current threats posed by either Russia, Saudi Arabia or Iran. Is China in a kinetic war with our allies? Are they effective in pushing dangerous narratives out helping domestic fifth columns of insurrectionists form? Are they effective at interfering with US elections?
The answer to all three is not yet, but they are no doubt trying.
The exclusive focus on Guo due to his connections to Steve Bannon gives ample cover for practically everything else. Is Guo a spy? Most likely. The thing is he is more of a Butina and not a Lavrov.
What I do know is where all that Guo stuff comes from.
Peter Thiel’s pal Chuck Johnson, the same guy who fed it previously to Rocco Castoro while he worked for Tim Pool
Jim warned about Garland back in January. While I do have some reservations on various things Stewartson says and he likely with me, it is clear Eric Garland is pushing narratives Thiel through his protege Chuck Johnson wants amplified and spread.
Brad Shuttleworth notices. So do a hell of a lot of journalists.
Jim? SILENT? No, K-issmyass-7, silent is one thing Jim is not. 🤣🤣🤣
