Under no circumstance would the dems be running RFK if Biden wasn't in the picture. RFK has never been anybody within the party and Democratic voters don't like him that much, to say nothing of his discredited beliefs that are pulling more conservative voters to his campaign than liberal ones.

But we should look at why conservative voters are responding so well to him.

Because he didn't traffic children.

If you look at the charges of Greenberg and that essentially nobody once ever referred to Gaetz as a suspect but rather "subject of" or "involved in" it becomes pretty clear what happened.

Greenberg was running a blackmail ring, or at least managing it, Matt Gaetz was the target of it. He started getting suspicious and went to the FBI.

Check out the podcast Conspirituality, and their book from AK press.

The spirituality and wellness community has always been viewed as being of the left merely because counter cultures are always assumed to be leftist, and there certainly are leftists in the space, but these are communities largely built off anti-modernism and orientalism, with an unquestioned trust in unregulated capitalism.

It also doesn't hurt that Nazis are able to infiltrate these communities incredibly easily, because the Aryan creation myth developed by the Nazis was stolen from Helena Blavotsky, who pretty much developed Indo-European esoteria. Most forms of yoga practiced by white people are also descended from Bikram yoga, which was a Hindu nationalist cult.

The spirituality community is not itself fascist, but its overt apoliticalness is definitely a vector point for far right ideologies to be laundered for upper middle class white women.

The issue is these people are tied to Trump, not neccesarily the Republican party.

When Trump dies will the yoga community continue voting Republican? Doubtful.

Peter theil wants Ramaswamy, he seems to be the front runner for the pick.

I didn't say that there weren't legitimate people in the field, i said many of the original era of them were not legitimate people. They were either pastors or others affiliated with a church who largely were kidnapping women and holding them hostage at the behest of the parents, who were almost always members of the congregation.

Most of the deprogramming going on nowadays is done by volunteers in the digital spaces, and the time and resources invested is going mostly to fighting post-Qanon and white supremicist cells, because that is where the majority of group violence is coming from.

Believe me, i wish our problems could be solved by taking kids hostage until they renounce religious/political extremism but that is not the case.

I don't think you can or should blame immigrants for America being a playground for the rich where the citizens are just a servicing class.

If people are being interviewed specifically because they previously participated as a source in a book and they are provoked to give the same specific anecdotes they gave to the original author, just to get around paying a fee, then the original author's work is still being adapted.

I think what probably happened is Apple refused to greenlight production with the author's involvement. He might be the specific editor of gizmodo that Apple had swatted about 10 years ago, accusing gizmodo of espionage.

That is always possible, but in this case I suspect that isn't so.

This author has independent research and can likely prove that nobody before them ever presented the story in the structure of a spy thriller.

The author can also prove the Tetris company had the galleys before publishing. A professional studio would have likely never allowed one of their screenwriters to ever read the book. I think this case.is going to get settled.

Yeah, I think the moment he was first aproacged with this idea, he likely assumed they weren't asking and began formulating a plan.

Of course the motives were self serving. He likely saw himself going down in history as the man who singlehandedly saved the US and thought it would help him become president.
