We have "cartesian blinders being put on us so that we are trying to make sense out of scraps of information and hints." - @bretweinstein
WEINSTEIN: I mean, even if you have your villains who are engaged in the behavior that motivated this war in Iran, even if that's the story, presumably most of the people in the path of these ferocious bombings that he is describing are not deserving of going back to the Stone Age.
In fact, I distinctly remember him telling us that part of what we were up to was liberating the people of Iran from their tyrannical regime.
So if it's the tyrannical regime that justifies the ferocious bombing, then it's a tragedy that other people are going to be sent back to the Stone Ages with them. Right?
HEYING: It's it's not a narrative. It's an incoherent set of talking points.
WEINSTEIN: Yeah, it's a kind of cheerleading that is completely inappropriate from the perspective of the president.
Bret Weinstein discusses the Trump administrations "back to the stone age" recent remarks in the latest episode of The Evolutionary Lens, Episode 320 "Are we back in the stone age?" on DarkHorse.
Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed.
And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."
What Really Happened to Jordan Peterson?
I can't say Jewish Mafia, ChatGPT refuses to revise my work.. So I say Italian Mafia
(disclaimer: Yes, I realize that I could do a search/replace for Italian with Jewish, but I think the fact that I can’t say it to begin with is interesting)
(Referencing the screenshot of Harley Pasternak’s text to Kanye West)
This is the text message Kanye West famously shared from his personal trainer. Kanye famously started crashing out around 2022, claiming that the music industry was controlled by an “Italian” mafia. He wasn’t the first person to make allegations along those lines. Similar claims about organized crime and powerful networks influencing Hollywood and the music industry have been made by other public figures over the years, with Mel Gibson being one of the most well-known examples.
Although their antisemitic remarks were regrettable, I don’t think it makes sense to dismiss every allegation outright because of the offensive things they later said....
Social Media Swamp Monsters
Okay, anyone who checks these forums, I can't shut up about the Charlie Kirk case.. However, neither can Bret! Ha! take that ;-). It's not that I ever cared about Charlie before he was asssinated, it's more that his story diagnoses the system. To figure out what is true about this murder uncovers multiple layers of collusion/fraud/corruption whatever you want to call it. Just like Covid, some stories diagnose the system.
The psychological warfare against dissent
If you are in need of a good read, I suggest you check out Bret's posts on X. Because he also has questions in regards to the narrative we are being told surrounding Charlie Kirk's death, he is setting off a crazy immune response reaction from the swamp creatures that lurk on social media. There is a massive effort to discredit, destroy, inflict harm on anyone with credibility that asks the most basic questions surrounding Charlie Kirks death. That in itself is very telling. It's my own personal opinion that ...
