I’m hoping you meant that Pizzagate “effectively morphed into QAnon,” and not my proud and vocal support of your work! ;-)
I’m not at all in touch with QAnon, 4chan, or any of those types of groups, so I didn’t follow that process. What I did see was that the left in general was effectively smeared and scared into silence. I specifically don’t single you out, because all my other heroes like Jimmy Dore and Kyle Kulinski ran away from Pizzagate faster than a CNN anchor from an honest debate question. I did my own research. Unbelievably disturbing shit. All that disturbing shit is connected to people all the way to the top of the Democratic establishment, particularly the Podestas. Definitely warranted a real police investigation.
JFK’s assassination, Reagan’s pre-election deal with Iran, Iran-Contra, 80’s S&L scandal, The Keating Five, WMDs, Hillary Victory Fund, DNC leaks, Seth Rich, Pizzagate, Jeffery Epstein, etc., etc. All these were or are conspiracy theories. Some were proven. Those that have not yet been proven, but are too fucking shady to pass the smell test, have gone into conspiracy theory limbo. Most lately Jeffery Epstein, but Pizzagate is in there.
There are several things I disagree with Tulsi Gabbard about, but I support her candidacy because when she is smeared relentlessly about fighting regime change wars, and specifically about meeting with adversaries like Assad, she says, “Fuck you. I’m a patriot. I’m not a coward. You traffic in lies and smears.” When talking about kids who can’t defend themselves being abused, we need more people like Tulsi.
All that being said, you’re my favorite political writer by far. Your clear eyed vision for mankind is inspiring, and your poetry is beautiful. Keep up the great work!
