Funny how so many of the same influencers who are throwing hissy fits right now re: the DOJ Epstein memo were also distributing black pills to their followers when his co-conspirator/partner Ghislaine Maxwell was successfully convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
There might be something to that...
All singing the same song...
The Doomer’s Refrain:
But nothing is happening.
And if it is happening, it’s too late.
And if it’s not too late, then it’s not good enough.
And if it is good enough, then it’s the last thing that will happen, and we’ll be right back to:
but nothing is happening.
It’s not about Epstein, or his clients, or Kash or Bondi, or Trump, or the victims and it’s definitely not about the truth.
It’s about the grift and how it fits into the strategy of “audience capture.”
That doesn’t apply to everyone, of course.
Some are simply caught up in the memes and punditry of peers, mistaking the retorts of mediocre minds for scholarly logic and well-reasoned arguments.
It’s useful to remember that an idea’s or meme’s virality is one thing.
Its accuracy and merit is something else entirely.
The above can be applied broadly, from the “Epstein Did Not Kill Himself” meme to “Orange Man Bad/TDS” to the current hysterics of “Panican Pundits.”
Don’t mistake the distribution of an idea, especially one that exists almost entirely online, , for genuine popularity among real people, let alone widespread acceptance.

Overlaying a map (schematic) of the Fordow facility (aka Al Ghadir Project) with satellite imagery showing where GBU-57s entered the mountain is quite interesting.
Three GBU-57s entered near the vent shaft and three at one end of the Centrifuge Cascade Hall.
We shouldn't assume the trajectories of these bombs.
They could all be the same, i.e., roughly straight down, or they could be different, i.e., each hitting key parts of the facility but each group of three entering the mountain in roughly the same two places.
By asking Israel to turn its planes around and, essentially, allow Iran to have the last hostile move, Trump is urging Israel to adopt a Generous Tit-for-Tat strategy instead of the Tit-for-Tat approach that both Israel and Iran have been locked into.

I often reference the information war as a component of a larger conflict—a cognitive war, a battle for your mind.
All of this (gestures wildly at everything , but emphatically at social media) is part of that war.
It represents the armaments, the trenches, the artillery, grenadiers and riflemen of the war.
Alex Jones is emblematic of many things, but perhaps he is most representative of a particular mind virus that infects the Right and pollutes our discourse.
It's a phenomenon that stems from long-running, successful campaigns to subversively promote divisive meta-narratives. (anti-Israel, anti-vax, anti-Gov, anti-Science, etc)
Influential figures are key to promoting these metanarratives and building nodes of groupthink where cohesion can be fostered and members directed toward or against specific targets.
Eventually the groups push their adherents further and further to the extremes, establishing a psychosis in them, a mindset akin to the "woke mind virus" often seen on the Left.
One side exhibits Marxist traits, while the other displays fascist tendencies.
