1) I had a fascinating talk with my son, who is both in med tech for a big company but also who is a very plugged in gamer. He is a single male, who knows quite well the inner workings of Reddit and 4Chan. Above all he is up on male culture age 20-40.

2) In discussing what radicalized this shooter, who came from a good family and had good grades, he was quick in his response: Reddit and 4 Chan. The Dark Web.

3) Smart kids know how to mask their real activities from their parents. Unless you're snooping in their computers . . .

3) contd . . . they would be difficult to detect.

4) Me: "The radicalization occurred in probably a year or less."

Him: "Yeah, doesn't take long. He had both alt-right postings but also total left postings, including one people mistake for a transoid symbol but which . . .

4) contd . . . is actually a deeper, worse nearly demonic symbol that is quite prominent on 4Chan.

5) ME: "Looks like the 71 year old guy was an accomplice of sorts, or an activated patsy."

Him: "Yes. And also note the guys behind Kirk giving hand signals.

6) Me: "How deep does this stuff go?"

Him: "You don't want to know. 4Chan is like the public spot, but if you go to 8Chan it is hideous."

7) Me: "How do you stop these guys?"

Him: "Honestly, you need a new three-letter agency, which is horrible, but you need one . . .

7) contd . . . that is made up essentially of these types of people. [This is the old Allan Dulles approach to spycraft, bring in commies who know the system.] You need people to get inside ALL these social media accounts, emails, everything. But almost no one . . ."

7) contd . . . "with those skills wants anything to do with the government. Any government. And to be honest, anyone you have doing this cannot do it for very long at all. What you see on these sites is so repulsive, so gory, so horrible, that they themselves become screwed up.

8) Me: "So, if you had such an agency, you'd have to rotate the Watchers out at a minimum of every year or they'd go crazy?"

Him: "Yes."

9) Him: "These disaffected young males, who don't think they have anything to live for are very easily radicalized."

10) Me: "Does a solution involve public arrests, and so on, of the bigger names?"

Him: "You need Soros, Schwab, several VERY high profile people to get street justice, highly public executions, etc. for the normies. But you can't change the underneath system."

11) Him: "Note that it's not just in the US. Did you see what happened in Nepal (where the former PM's wife was burned alive and people were being whipped in the streets)?"

Me: "Yes. And Japan's PM resigned, and the French govt fell apart."

12) Him: "Indonesia & Philippines might be next. They are toppling."

13) He then raised the point that many of the big techhies are homosexuals, such as Peter Thiel. (His co is based out of northern CA, though he doesn't work there). "They're all homosexuals."

13) contd . . ."Altman, the rest."

14) Although he puts little hope---or desire---in a more normal political resolution, I do believe that revolutions that might put a Franco in power here are avoidable IF, and this is a big issue, IF Trump can produce enough high profile . . .

14) contd . . . arrests to short-circuit what otherwise is sure to come. For ex., after a single execution in England in the 1640s, the Brits had a period under Cromwell (The Protectorate) that ended with a restoration of the King . . . but in MUCH different circumstances.

15) William & Mary came in in the "Glorious Revolution" & essentially bent the knee to Parliament, accepting the crown from THEM. But in France, the bloodlust and rage against the king got so bad that it swept almost anyone to the guillotine who in any way wanted to "mediate."

16) Likewise in our Revolution, there was a two-step-to-democracy process of the Articles, then the Constitution, that convinced people their rights were safe. It didn't hurt that most of the Tories left the US for England.

17) Anyway, my takeaway is that a) he is right about the need for a Watcher, as horrible as that sounds. This is not like Muslim terrorist summer camps. It's happening ON THE WEB. b) I think Trump has a limited window, esp. after Iryna Zarutska & Charlie so close together, . . .

17) contd . . . to make some very public arrests of BIG NAMES. There is a growing and very real sense of a two-tiered justice system, and Trump must show he can break that, even if in a symbolic way.

18) Last, we need a major reform via FCC of the Hoax News media. You cannot allow these agents of evil to spread filth and file 24/7. Simply firing a Matt Dowd here and there is not enough. Rip the weed up by the roots. Curse that evil fig tree.
