the Andrew Tate phenomenon

update 25jul23 v0.3

Andrew Tate meets Tucker Carlson. Must see! But read this to the end.

I have resisted being interested in all the hype around Andrew Tate for years.  I have been waiting for the fog to clear. Tate seems too charismatic, articulate and intelligent for his own "safety" in an increasingly controlled world, and so he has made big enemies who are threatened by someone ready to discuss the awful truth, who is not on message with the narrative.  But the story of his Romanian arrest is simply inexplicable and only really explained by accepting we live in a world of "narratives" - carefully engineered propaganda created by the "elites"  that tries to close down all those with disagreeable populist appeal. Remember - propaganda is 99% truth and 1% carefully implanted misdirection - always refer to Yuri Bezmenov for a masterclass and reminder from 1984.

The latest (visible) examples of which appears to be the Nigel Farage and Lawrence Fox Banking exclusions.

I used the word "visible", since we don't know how many others have been similarly black balled by big brother in an attempt to clamp down on those who might rock the boat for the current keepers of the narratives. The rush to eliminate cash from the economy, coupled with the promise of a Central Bank digital currency, is 1984 with knobs on. And already proven to be effective by China.

The nature of Twitter means that it is very simple to conceal the fact that somebody is being ghosted compared to other platforms. Is it far simpler to lose a tweet in the noise than a Facebook post. If you wanted to design a social media platform that gave the appearance of open debate, yet was subtly but thoroughly controlled, you could do no better than Twitter.

It is openly obvious that Twitter still places an arbitrary maximum number of followers on certain "awkward" accounts (ask Mike Yardley). Twitter, (or the governments with whom they have a dodgy deal in place) can easily strangle (with barely a trace on the throat) any account considered to be potentially disruptive.

Helpfully, Tucker Carlson has used his skill and platform to produce a definitive interview. He could have been a bit blunter, but hey-ho...

The are some obvious parallels between the way Carlson is feared by the controlling Marxist/fascist media cabals and Tate's treatment as an outlier, and that empathy is apparent.
Tate is unusually charismatic in an age when charisma is regarded as a huge danger to "the narrative" and its promoters; and it's easy to see why he is regarded as a potential threat by so many people and organizations with opposing views in today's dangerous mediascape.

Wise up, as they say... and watch this...

Oh dear. It's the perfect example of the danger of charisma." Choose wisely", as the old crusader said to Indiana Jones...

This is such a tricky business. Once again 99.9% is completely undone by 0.1%

Trust nothing and no one. Eyes wide open, it's a mess out there.
