Excuse previous version of this post. I am getting mixed up on my posts 🤣.

I see this one is a draw for now.

At the outset though the problem is that "demonstrating against Israel or in support of Palestinians" is all push-button nonsense.

My initial question, Richard:

Do you agree that the October 7 Hamas attacks were staged? Here is a link to a discussion on the subject. If you don't agree they were staged why not?

If everything is a poll, yes October 7 was staged.

Good in a way to give Substack commenters a poll.

No hiding, other than the threat of a hiding, then.

One staged event does not make every other event staged. Yes I do think that October 7th was more staged than not but still it’s never 100%.

And what’s your post doing here. You're destroying the ambience, Petra.

Of course one staged event does not make every other event staged I just want to check with you what we can agree on step by step. The post will make more sense as we go along.

So when you say "more staged than not" why is it "never 100%" and more particularly in this case not 100%?

Take it to notes. This thread is for fun dissing. Not serious conspiracy.

Also although I think that October 7th was mostly staged I do not think the 1200 or so deaths were.

Love the way people who want to end the discussion also want to have the final word ... but that's OK Richard. I see now that this post is just for fun, I'm just not that way inclined when it comes to this subject.

And LOL at this comment "The only way Jerry Brown could get to the White House would be if Linda became President and he married her.”:

I too have been defamed here on Substack.

Probably more times than I am aware because do not subscribe to the nastier Fifth Columnists.

I have been too although not so much of late or at least as far as I’ve noticed. Don’t see the point in making a deal of it. I like your posts btw, Substack seems to promote lack of substance.

Is the implication that Hopkins doth protest too much.

He has had my sympathy.

Please enlighten me if I have been misled.

The Mal one is the man most persecuted via Substack, and quite rightly so.

But out in the real world Mal one is lauded.

Whereas Hopkins is persecuted in the *real* world, but supported by Substackers. He's the one in trouble in Germany for the swastika on his book jacket, on the mask.

Has anyone here read his book?

Yep. Took it on holiday 2 years ago and finished in a week. It’s a collection of essays, so easy to dip in and out of. I’ve become a fan of his writing (although I’m not interested in his pre-WW3 theatre plays), and sympathetic to what he’s been dealing with. It takes some time and perseverance but his writing is just so biting and morose and knuckle-duster blunt as well as funny, too, it hooked me in the end. His substack is good too. I do think he means well. By his own admission, I think he’d say he is a lefty mugged by a very harsh reality.

"is a lefty mugged by a very harsh reality."

Perhaps if I copy paste this then I will recall it when the conversation needs it.

Indeed……

Just need to add FBI & Merck….(err LinkedIn)

But of course they’re not the same CJ Hopkins. Are they?

I think that there is an element of play acting involved potentially with both. I also think that the appeal of it might be different depending on sex. But CJ’s obsession with leftwing protestors masking at Universities is also a little odd, especially as its not that evident at this stage (I just had a look around and most protestors, almost all of them, are not wearing covid era masks) and that there might be other reasons for it, for example to make it hard for online warriors to identify you.

And no I have not read his book. TBH I would not know of him if not for Substack.
