I can’t imagine what this news must be like for you. We’re here for you.

You kind of (and I know it’s wrong) laugh at the big reveal at the end that all his research is on a laptop that the lying government stole and that we need to ask them what happened to it…

I was reading more of dudes manifesto and looks like beyond The Simpsons, several bands are part of the propaganda machine as well…
“Notably, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunterwas a participant in the CIA’s MK-ULTRAprogram of brainwashing and psychological torture, according to this declassified CIA document. And when we know the big story (that we’re in a totalitarian doomsday cult), we recognize that the name “Grateful Dead” is a perfect name for a cult leader band: The fans not realizing they were the grateful dead all along. Likewise, the band’s iconic stealie logo evokes death and brainwashing.”
“I bet you never noticed how often The Beatles evoke violent imagery: Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a happy, cheery song about a violent serial killer. A Day in the Life depicts a gruesome death. Rocky Raccoon, Bungalow Bill, Piggies, Tomorrow Never Knows all evoke death and violence. The words Happiness is a Warm Gun speak for themselves. They also made The Butcher Cover: The album cover depicts the cheery bandmates strewn with decapitated baby dolls and raw meat. We also find our secret fascist themes in songs like Eleanor Rigby (Look at how lonely and isolated we are), Taxman (Fear the taxman), Yesterday(Turn to nostalgia because life is getting worse), and in their promotion of the nonsense “Paul is dead” conspiracy (Get the public to chase conspiracies to hide that fact they’re being ruled by financial criminals). When we realize the scope of the con, we understand why Manson said the Beatles’ White Album was secretly promoting a race war: Because both parties were in on it.”
“For more examples of secret fascist bands, we’ve got Devo, which is short for “devolution” and means that society is becoming too morally decayed. Like the Grateful Dead, their iconic energy dome hats evoke brainwashing. Rage Against the Machine, with members out of Harvard University, is an example of controlled opposition: they promote far-left ideas, but they exist to incite anger and division while they tell their fans of the capitalist machine too powerful to stop.”
I am starting to think that maybe I’ve been brainwashed too.

Jesus I didn't even read into it like that yet because I've been too busy today/tonight but this is insane. Now I have something to keep me up for a bit

Yeah, despite clearly suffering from paranoid delusions, he is a surprisingly decent writer. His blog has been fairly active for about a year so there is a decent amount of posts.

Driven by what? They lost $58M last year on $4M of revenue and got overvalued to the tune of $9B in the IPO. Isn’t it more likely that Q3 earnings being announced (presumably) within days of the election will be a total humiliation?

Driven by crazies with money. They're going to try and turn it into Gamestop, Shopify, Etc. The Financials mean nothing. It's a send a message about Trump stock and not a real reflection of the business

It's a Trump friend's, family, and supporters stock and it'll ramp up as November approaches. I expect a crash down in the teens after earnings call before a huge run up in a handful of months

Google CEO tells staffers the office is not a place to ‘debate politics’ after firing 28 for anti-Israel sit-ins
Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a 1,200-word memo to his global workforce after pro-Palestinian staffers stormed offices in New York, Seattle and Sunnyvale, Calif.
From do no evil to just do your job and support genocide without having an opinion on it. Fuck Google.

England is weird.
It’s a proud tradition of unelectable eccentrics standing for election, not because they can win, or want to win, but because they can and to protect the right that anyone can.

They’re all independents. The eccentrics that get into major parties are generally calculated bastards rather than fun looneys. See Boris and the tangerine man.
