In the past, there was little reason to deal with cranks like @ConceptualJames and his conspiracy-addled handler @SovMichael. Michael O’Fallon and James Lindsay argue with a straight face that NatCon/Yoram Hazony Jews, the Roman Catholic Church, Peter Thiel, China, Claremont Institute and a host of other NGOs, and anyone who advocates living in red states next to other people of like mind who don’t want to trans your kids are all part of a larger conspiracy to balkanize and destroy the United States of America. At this point, the conspiracy is so large that it seems to include most of those leading on the right. Again, this is all so degraded and stupid I have little desire to speak about it. But these two are vicious and able to put lies together and spend all their time doing so. They tried, unsuccessfully, to get me fired from Blaze Media. No warning. No straight talk with me. They just went around my back, cast aspersions, and strung a narrative that was the same thing as what the Antifa-adjacent Jason Wilson at The Guardian was saying at the time. In other words, it’s clear to me that they worked with the worst of the left to attack me. Lindsay—an atheist math PhD who voted for Hilary Clinton for President, seems happy to distance himself from MAGA now and says he would vote for the Democrat over Vice President JD Vance in 2028, and isn’t sure about Marco Rubio, either—became a supposed fellow traveler on the right a few years ago, which is also when he began reading some political philosophy books and other content about the right on his own for the first time in his life. Instead of gratitude for being invited in for his good work attacking wokeness, which I and others were happy to do for him, getting him speaking gigs, etc., he turned on all of us and now lies and calls us slurs on the daily. The best steelman I can give him is that he saw there were people on the right who are nuts or further to the right than he is, and then decided to attack the lot of us as bad actors, and anoint himself as Gatekeeper King. The claim he and his crazed handler actually make, however, is that there is a conspiracy of a small but powerful group people on the right who are attempting to control and subvert everything to hasten the destruction of America to pave the way for tyranny. They then “just ask questions” and “connect” tenuous dots to slime people. Sound (ironically) familiar? Sadly, we live in a retarded clown world. I don’t wish it so, but it’s true. Myself and my actual compadres aren’t part of some large apparatus that can employ younger attack dogs to defend us against people who have the time and motive to post garbage all day calling us vile names (Nazis and fascists seem to be preferred). These stretched stories are comforting for people who are understandably confused about what’s going on, and desire a simple template to comprehend it. But good people in the midst of doing serious things—people who’ve spent their whole lives studying America and teaching a generation of leaders dedicate to saving it while building new institutions and businesses with the same goal—don’t appreciate being slandered and lied about by grifters who as they speak are actively doing what they profess to be against: which is to rip this coalition apart. The next question is: who’s paying for this divisive op? Clearly, *some* Jewish money is devoted to Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee now. Whatever the intent, it’s going to the worst spokesmen possible for their cause at the worst possible time. This was part of my friendly message to Israel last week. For which, predictably, I’ve been called an anti-Semite by the usual suspects. As I tried to say in Jerusalem: this is not a productive approach. americanmind.org/salvo/israe… But the plump Tweedles' “anti-semitism” campaign is fairly new. There are obviously other, larger forces at play underneath that. Who are they? I would be grateful if some of you could look into it.
