He may have been co-opted and/or bought. I remember he and a group of bloggers got invited to a Trump event, and afterward, he had a major expansion of his operation (additional employee, office space, additional channels, etc). And from that point on, he had a significant change in tone also. This is circumstantial, but this what I suspected. I ceased from viewing this output from that point on.

Almost certainly this is going on all around social media/YouTube/Podcasting. There is no reason for governments not to buy these people off to do influence campaigns. It’s probably easier too, there are no people with ethics (whistleblowers) to interfere as might happen in a traditional news organization, plus these guys are basically in it purely for the money, and are not worried about integrity or truth.

From what I understand was Tim Poole's rise to fame came from Occupy Wall Street. He was a nobody that decided he wanted to play independent reporter and posted his amateur recordings on YouTube. That's how he got noticed. That's how he got recruited by right-wing interests because he couldn't have afforded a studio and a staff to do his show.

I noticed this was happening because I have an interest in movies and would go to sites like ain't-it-cool to read the goings on of movies from a fan base perspective. At aint-it-cool's height, apparently at all the major talent agencies in Hollywood it was required reading every morning for the agents when they got into work because the website was at the pulse of discourse of what's popular in movies and TV for fanboys. Well other fanboy sites and now YouTube channels started showing up because of aint-it-cool's influence on the industry. Then I noticed that a lot of these supposed "independent" fanboy channels were reporting on the same things being released at the same time on YouTube. You know something was up when they all went on the attack on a non-famous individual person that's not known by the majority where only specific interests would know. Or attacking traditional targets that right-wing interests hate for political purposes like anything Disney because they hate Disney's diversity inclusion policies where they do things like having gays run amok closing Disneyland to only them once a year. It's all coordinated.

Tim Poole is a part of this right-wing cabal spreading right-wing propaganda acting like they're independent voices when they're bought by special interests. They tap into the everyday "man" making people feel like they're not alone hence why they're popular among the MAGA, Proud Boy, and incel uneducated crowds because now they don't feel like they're alone and isolated. There's one fanboy channel where before he became a shill he said on his channel that he loved The Last Jedi. Now he thinks the Last Jedi is horrible and is the destroyer of fanboys childhoods. People started linking his first video where he said he loved The Last Jedi exposing him as shill and what was his response? He did his show from inside his new sports car he got. Their most successful example of this is Joe Rogan. He was popular having his own built-in audience and then he sell his show getting paid a hundred million dollars and now he's all in on right-wing propaganda and causes when he was more middle of the road before.

It's not Biden, he's not the one making the decisions on re-election. Assume he's mentally inept. Then who's making the decisions for him. His team reached out to Trump and asked for the debate knowing it would hurt his chance of winning.

If the goal is to protect Biden, then why host a debate and put him on TV.

If the goal is to protect the country from Trump, then why not have Biden step aside. You win the election by putting up any other candidate other than Biden or Trump.

So the end game is Trump all along.
It's all ego including his staff. Biden back in 2020 is not the same as Biden 2024. He's noticeably deteriorating. Look at how Hillary Clinton was upset at not being the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination acting like she was robbed and sexism was involved. If she respected the democratic process, she would've accepted that Democrats didn't want her. The Democratic establishment elites wanted her but if they used Super Delegates to usurp Obama as they were designed for, there would've been a populist revolt in the Democratic Party because of what it would look like and do. That's why Hillary and the elites eventually accepted it. That was all ego.

I wasn't joking when previously in this forum I said when will the US make it illegal for anyone in the world to educate a Chinese child? If they can tell a Chinese student what they can only study in school, how hard is it for them to declare it illegal for anyone in the world to teach a Chinese child on anything? They already believe they can tell a Chinese company in China not to do business with another Chinese company in China they have sanctioned. They don't know which Chinese child is going to make the next big technological leap. So just to be sure that doesn't happen because it's a threat to US national security, they would have to declare it illegal for anyone to educate any Chinese child to make sure the US is not threatened.

Odds of petite bourgeoise and elites continuing to send their kids to western institution in droves? IMO more likely than not.

The good thing is that STEM academic research is effectively dead without Chinese nationals. The CPC has been trying to address the brain drain issue for decades and now the Americans have effectively solved that problem for China in a fell swoop.

Again in those statements and actions there is the implicit assumption that somehow Chinese cannot get by or learn/invent without the US (by which they mean white people). They keep repeating the same mistakes and end up then being shocked when China progresses on its own, however instead of learning from that they just cope by waving it away as purely technology theft or copying. Then rinse and repeat the mistake.

Rather than merely rinsing and repeating, they double down every single time.

The more far rights gains in Europe, the more EU will start to break apart. A few far right governments will break the western alliance into two camps. Eventually China and Russia can exploit this, ally with the far right governments and ensure balance of power politics returns in Europe.
A few years ago i would have said you're correct. But after Meloni's victory in Italy im not so sure it will just be a more right flavored europe being against Russia and China. I would say the right part of Europe is hell of a lot more anti China than Russian in their mind Russians is just an estranged family member..

its much easy to impose decision from a centralized structure on Europe and thats what Gulf Arabs expect from Europe. since Arabs have greater Soft Power It will not be surprising Meloni and Le Pen gets supported by them.

Campbell has an undergraduate degree in science, technology, and public affairs (despite its name, it's not a STEM degree) and a doctorate in international relations. If the USA continues to put people like this in charge of its industrial policy, China should be fine.

Reminds me of when Himmler said that Poles shouldn't be educated beyond the 4th grade.

Last time it was the Soviet Union that made the necessary sacrifice to burn down the fascist menace.

The People's Republic must be ready when the time comes.
