As one of the people who wrote a debunk of Pizzagate for a mainstream outlet that no longer employs me (and thus I can speak freely), I will come on any podcast to explain what is wrong here and the real truth. Come on, debate me bro.

This is stupid.
"Pizza" was a code word - that is true. Epstein used the word. As code for abuse, even though the FBI knew it (great code!)? Maybe.
"Pizzagate" was a politically motivated conspiracy theory about a Washington restaurant.
It was false.

Bitcoin is now net negative since Trump took office. If this slump continues, it will be a bigger drag on MAGA than most realize. The manosphere is invested in crypto, not just financially but psychically - the dream of being the master of your own destiny.

People love to send me a story I wrote 10 years ago. "do you stand by it?!?" Yes, Mr Smoothbrain. Yes, absolutely I do.

โPizzagateโ was a politically motivated conspiracy theory about a restaurant in Washington.
It is possible for Epsteinโs horrors to exist, but also for Pizzagate to be a conspiracy theory.
Not hard to understand.

The fact that Epstein talked about pizza does not mean that โPizzagateโ was real.
The fact that Epstein may have talked about sexual abuse in code which included the word โpizzaโ (possible, I havenโt yet seen any strong evidence in the files), does not mean that โPizzagateโ was real.
Many such cases.

Republicans who support ICE are in retreat - in Iowa, they are backing down from a bill that would force co-operation with federal agents.
โNo Kingsโ was a statement of fact as well as a slogan.
2026 will be a very interesting year, and not only in Iowa.

It has become popular to dismiss Russian interference in the 2016 election as hype or hoax but a new study which focuses on Facebook and specific demographic groups suggests meddling was real, and effective

Social media: great at slaying narratives, bad at creating positive visions of the future.

Carl would never, say, post pictures of non-white victims of crime because his audience which includes white nationalists, pro-โrepatriationโ people and other extremists wouldnโt like it.

โIn one of the most surreal twists, an Amelia cryptocurrency has emergedโฆโ (not surreal at all, these days any notable meme is turned into a cryptocoin)
My original take:
thedayofreckoning.substack.com/p/amelia-the...
โIf you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or Xโ (No the chances are not high, if you are a Guardian reader not steeped in the universe of far-right brainrot. Social media is incredibly atomized.)

The Guardian has picked up on the story of the far-right mascot Amelia which I reported on last week
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
A couple of points: ...
As ICE officers kill another American civilian, Donald Trumpโs fundraising machine plays the greatest hits.
What do we think, is he getting through the pearly gates?
The US government is in deep trouble, as videos circulating appear to show ICE agents beating and killing a man - after disarming him.
Will there be an investigation?
If not there will be more trouble in Minneapolis.
A bunch of trolls mocked a mildly cringe anti-radicalization video game, and Britainโs right-wing press joined in. But why did they all ignore the *actual* far-right extremists pushing Amelia memes?
