A Tale Of Two Burgers

First, Epstein. Notherburger Part Three.

This really is what Trump means when he says this whole thing is a hoax. Epstein walked in the world of the Democratic party, worked with Democrats, worked with Ehud Barak in Israel, etc. It's incredible to see people trying to spin it back onto Trump https://t.co/ZibQQWGOt8

Contra the conspiratards--thank you, Oh Anon I See On Discord, for that one--it turns out that Epstein was a garden-variety pimp and Mr. Jones sort that ran in DNC circles and had ties to Israeli and Euro counterparts.

He was not Le Epic Satanist. He wasn't even Anton Levay. He wasn't even Pablo Escobar. He was a guy that ran with rich people, helps make and maintain connections, and ran girls. The trafficking is overblown--those were whores, not slaves--so this turns out to be a nothingburger because it's no different than any other politically-sensitive scandal involving elites ever: easy pussy for hire, pimps playing middleman for elites, and--as you'll recall--Trump cut Epstein off for life as soon as he heard about the illicit and illegal stuff he did.

This is why Trump called it a hoax, so the question is "Why the hold-up?"

Tactics.

Trump is not stupid. He knew that this was their big attempt at a counter-Narrative attack. Rather than just deflate it all at once, he judo-flipped it into his favor by using the releases at advantageous times for him and his allies to (a) take attention away from what the Thralls are trying to get attention upon and (b) demoralize the enemy further by denying them the satisfaction of a secondary win to compensate for a primary loss. No, this is done to add insult to injury- injury inflicted over the week.

Which leads to the Somethingburger: The Signal Chats.

🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them.

BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED

Cam Higby broke the story.

Those involved freaked out. The follow-ups also got infiltrated and leaked. The Feds got the data; this will be paired with tracking where the money does to nail down Ultimate Beneficial Owners.

S2 Underground noted that the Thrall-held cities in the United States are already adapting by using open local and state governments to replace the chats with officially-run ones to do the same thing. What he failed to consider is that the Administration is mapping out the opposition because it knows that this is a One Shot Only situation so they have to be certain before they fire.

That said, I have to agree with Mystery Grove: the Administration can, and will, prevail by persisting as it is- the Insurrection Act's use will be provoked by the side that ends up losing. Trump is forcing the Thralls to cross the line, openly and decisively, the same way that FDR forced Japan and Lincoln forced the South to do so previously; by manuevering them into the situation where they have to cross that line, strike openly against the Administration in a manner that is crystal clear in its aggression and treason, while Le Influencer Class is just getting the way by being conspiratarded doomer losers.

People who say “Trump isn’t doing anything” or who claim that there would have been little difference between Trump and Kamala are simply lying. Sometimes these people are too dumb or self-absorbed to even know they’re lying, it’s just a style of communication that they’ve come to adopt, but I think most of the time they are aware that things are getting much better. It’s kind of impossible not to be.

If you believe, or at least claim, that Trump’s second term is anything other than a massive step forward, you are not worth talking to or arguing with. You are either a liar or a moron. People should laugh at you and exclude you from discussions. No one should tolerate or indulge you. Interacting with you without hostility is always a net negative.

What I really want to spend the rest of this essay talking about is the death of online rightwing discourse and the need to retire the “Influencer Right” (or at least most of it), that eclectic scene of commentators and independent journalists who, in close concert with real-world politicians and activists, changed the world for the better by popularizing once taboo ideas and helping to fuel Donald Trump’s electoral victories with grassroots online enthusiasm. These are the figures who turned politics into culture, to great success.

For most of these people my objections are not personal. I actually think a few influencers have not disgraced themselves and are still essential to our current success (I won’t include their names in this to avoid tying them to the criticism that follows). However, it’s still clear that something has been going terribly wrong with the scene for a while, and the last few months have demonstrated that the entire arrangement as it stands is unsalvageable. People need to start tuning out.

Block, mute, or otherwise ignore the blackpillers, doomers, and conspiratards that don't know how anything works. Let Trump cook. Trust the plan, because the plan is working exactly as intended- not as you wish it was.
