@michaelbd I appreciate your response to the Revolver piece. Charisma and policy are both important and ideally go together

Charisma is much more rare, and unlike policy agenda can't be faked. Charisma gives a leader independence from handlers
@michaelbd Ultimately it depends on what kind of change one thinks is necessary. For a system this corrupt and broken, my sense is nothing short of transformational change is really meaningful.

Charisma is especially necessary to this kind of change
@michaelbd But I'm not saying charisma is everything. Knowledge of how to navigate power, institutional knowledge, are nearly as important --- though these things are different from policy
@michaelbd finally, I never meant to suggest policy itself was unimportant. It's just less important than the other factors, and its very cheap and easy to signal

Charisma and ability to withstand attacks much harder to signal than ability to bandwagon a policy agenda

Tik Tok, Andrew Tate, and the question of whether nationalists should support woke US corps over foreign competitors...
Without Chinese influence on Hollywood, we'd have a transgendered James Bond!

Major piece in Revolver News building on our investigation into the hoax of the January 6 pipe bomber.

Here's a video clip from the piece of a google walk through of the site of DNC bomb
The walkthrough really gives a sense of how close the pipe bombs were to the DNC building and its exits.

Anyone sitting at benches that morning for coffee would have been in a position to spot the bomb.

Why didn't they?
The pipe bomb was basically smack dab between the parking deck, the entry and exit doors, and the front of the building.

Russia is far worse off as a result of its "special operation"

In this heated exchange I explain why
Beattie: "Europe is a vassal state... Europe is a slave state of the United States"....

where's the lie?
Is "Russian Disinformation" to blame for the theory that USA is behind sabotage of Nordstream pipeline?

Revolver's latest bombshell is about the January 6 pipe bomb, not about Ray Epps

Nonetheless, Epps makes an incredible cameo in the piece that is so astonishing I feel compelled to draw special attention to it

revolver.news/2022/08/jan-6-…
The significance of Epps in relation to the pipe bomb comes up in relation to a recent Epoch Times report

According to the report, Epps told the FBI that he travelled to DC on Jan 6th because he was concerned bombs would go off and wanted to provide "first aid"
According to documents obtained by Epoch Times,

Ray Epps told the FBI he was afraid bombs would go off on the side streets on January 6th

One important clarification to this otherwise excellent job by @SenTedCruz

D'Antuono, the guy in charge of the Whitmer entrapment hoax, wasnt just now promoted to the DC field office to oversee J-6

He was promoted to the DC office just DAYS after Whitmer plotters were arrested
Of all of the people Wray could have chosen to promote, he positions Steven D'Antuono, who oversaw the Michigan entrapment hoax, to run the DC office in the critical months before J6

Why pick D'Antuono?
D'Antuono is the public face of the ridiculous pipe bomb investigation...
