Breaking: the Guardian has exposed a family man with a loving wife and many beautiful children, who played college basketball, worked for Google, traveled the world, then had a 10-year career in academia before starting a highly successful publishing company.

I'm shook. Image
This person has been stalking "Lomez" for months. He is a Portland-based ANTIFA activist paid by a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate to harass people. He's been emailing and texting presumed former colleagues. Texting my wife. Attempting to get friends fired from their jobs for merely knowing me. Invoking my deceased father. Threatening to “expose” my blog posts from 20 years ago, my high school and college athletic achievements (please do), and even my nickname from middle-school. A truly deranged individual.
There is no story here of course. None of this passes even the lowest of journalistic standards. It’s obsessive, delusional behavior intended to activate the violent leftist mobs who he calls his friends and who share in his delusions. Legal action is certainly on the table.
I founded @PassagePress on the thesis that Americans desire new and innovative ideas and don’t want to be stuck in the same cul-de-sac of stale thinking and empty pieties represented by has-been, failing publications like the Guardian.

I was right.
Passage Press will clear a million in sales by the end of this year. I am proud of what we’ve built. There is an army of like-minded people behind us, which is why the Antifa doxxer has gone after us, because, like all of his ilk, he is motivated by the self-hate and petty resentments of having to confront his betters. It is not that he is going to lose; it’s that he has already lost. And the best he can do is nip at the heels of those of us marching tall and proud into the future.
I regret nothing. I apologize for nothing.

God bless you all, even the haters.
Indeed.

Based on Aaron Moulton’s The Influencing Machine, this is the story of the Soros Centers for Contemporary Art: a vast network of institutions that reshaped the Eastern Bloc in one of the most brazen and least acknowledged cultural engineering efforts in modern history...Image
After the Cold War, Soros quietly built a supranational web of nested NGOs and private enterprises across 20+ post-Soviet countries to reprogram entire national cultures from the ground up—then the whole thing essentially vanished from memory, leaving almost no trace behind.
Under the cloak of “artistic freedom,” these centers used something called "socially engaged practice" as a strict ideological filter to promote Soros-style liberalism, while rendering any art that dealt in themes of tradition and national identity institutionally irrelevant...

This is partially true. @PalmerLuckey is referring to CIA document 1035-960 written in 1967 which detailed the CIA's media strategy for counteracting criticisms of the Warren Report.

The document does indeed reference "conspiracy theories" and "conspiracy theorist," but...
...it doesn't invent either of these terms. The offending paragraph and related section are attached below.

You can tell from context that conspiracy theories were already a known political concept and the authors assumed their readers would understand what these terms meant. Image
Image
The document mostly concerns itself with both disproving the specific "conspiracies" related to the assassination and propping up the Warren Report's bona fides.

Heavy handed, yes, but it doesn't suggest using the concept of conspiracy theories itself as a rhetorical weapon.

The meta-story of this week is once again that MAGA has completely circumvented legacy media. We select what stories matter, and how those stories get shaped and delivered to decision makers.

Sentiment created on X flows in a straight, disintermediated line directly to DC.
This was always the big promise of the internet as a free speech platform, where legacy gatekeepers with built-in structural advantages to shape and manipulate the news would lose their power to do so...

But it really is only now that this is actually happening.
We saw this with the H1B Christmas debate as well. An organic negotiation arises online and rather than outsource its arguments to op-ed writers and "experts," it's just a bunch of people on X whose influence is determined strictly by the rest of the network

Still can’t believe there was like a 10 year period where Malcolm Gladwell was a dominant cultural figure
There was an entire ruling ethos that all individual and social problems could--and very soon would--be resolved with This One Weird Trick
A lot of woke was simply disappointment/backlash at the the fact that The One Weird Trick wasn't actually solving anything.

Woke provided an out by reducing social problems to opaque, miasmatic, non-falsifiable social "disease"

I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that the lib freak out is not going to happen or will be dramatically muted relative to 2016. The energy for it is just not there.

Their manic zeal from the first Trump term was never sustainable. They are ready to surrender. Image
My hunch is that we are going to see broad capitulation on a lot of Trump’s agenda, especially with regards to tech, fp, crime, and infrastructure build out.

Whereas they will fight deportations and attempts to slash the bureaucratic state and especially the spook-state…
But “The Resistance” as it existed 8 years ago will be basically non-existent beyond low energy media/journalist class bleeting. No Russiagate equivalent. No antifa shock troops. No blm or pussy hat psyops.

This is a good example of how even if Woke is waning, there are a few critical institutions like medicine where the sunk costs are too deep, morally and psychologically, for its stakeholders to walk away from it.

This is going to require generational churn.
Or you treat woke holdovers like Bukele treats MS-13 members. You just round them up. Strip them of their licensing all at once, gut the med schools, the associations and specialty guilds of all bad actors. Remove them from the gen pop (so to speak) (in the ring) (in real life)
It's not realistic to imagine the Oakland Kaiser "Pride clinic" is just going to stop mutilating kids, throw up their hands and say "Our bad."

They can't. They can't ever admit to the moral atrocity they've committed.

They have to get cut out like a tumor.
