From a body language perspective, the level of blinking activity that Johnson is engaged in during his opening spiel suggests he knows he's talking bullshite but is pushing through it anyway...
later, "I can't believe what I'm reading...." Yeah. So WHY are you engaging with it as if it is real, instead of questioning the source of the article, the nature of the 'memo'?
Full disclosure, as I began to listen to Johnson, I simply thought "This guys entire career and fame/income relies on the existence of the Deep State". Make of that what you will.
"I would read this on the FBI website, but its entirely crashed right now."
Er, as far as I know, this 'memo' has NOT been published on the FBI website. Axios article linked this: here is the address:
That's pretty lazy investigation, Johnson. It's NOT an officially release FBI/DOJ memo, as of the current time. Posted to an online document source by the article.
Johnson's conclusion: "this is a cover up". "This is now the official line".
So, instead of questioning ANYTHING about where the 'memo' came from, how it arrived on our screens, whether it is credible or not.
This is like some frogs on GAW (hey, I love you, but you know (some of us) do this) who just Reeeeeeeee!!! and Upvote another crap piece of information issued by The People's Voice, before even stopping to think: Where did this come from? Is it real? How credible is the source? Does it square up with other information?
So, "internet breaks". "Rages" So much RRRRrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! from who? The libs? The neomarxists? The social justice bluehairs? No. Now its the conservative side, the 'maga', the supposed awakened.
One thing to consider is, what impact this ARTICLE from a leftist Journalist and a 'supposed' (aka unverified, confirmed, unofficial 'memo') is having now and moving forward.
One, If DOJ and FBI, aka Kash, Bondi, etc, are actually working through the Epstein situation, this puts incredible pressure on them, and could very well form a MAJOR disruption to what they want to accomplish.
Two, the Black Pill Pharmacy just got millions of more customers. Ragebait much?
Three, a powerful and well tried tactic of the Cabal and DS is "look here, don't look there!" So, could this extremely dodgy story be actually designed to redirect everyone's attention when something else is being done?
Suggestion: Leave the reeeees! to the brainwashed lefties. Def: 72 hour rule, probably a 7 day rule would be very good for this stuff. imo.
I remember seeing Benny was walking around the new aligator Alcatraz and mentioned one time he was with Trump. Maybe he was asked to push this out for some reason
Benny's going to do what Benny's going to do. 5.7m followers on Yutub. Has he ever been banned? (No?) Believe me, he's raking in lots of money from his work. Lots.
I dunno. Maybe we need both the real actual investigators and thinkers, and then we need lightweight clickers who whip up the masses. But his presentation here is uber-weak, imo.
Benny is sort of a 'gateway' into our depths of knowledge. I honestly can't stand him, he's a bit annoying. But I have an aunt that watches him, and we have conversations I wouldn't have with other 'normies.'
I got about 3 seconds into this video and the music and just the way he presents is annoying to me, but at least he does have a reach into a good percentage of the normies to get them thinking about stuff.
Spot on. He's another step on the path. I don't care for him but he's like the 3rd step on the journey. I kinda feel it's Daily Wire, American Thinker, Benny Johnson types, on and on until you end up here in the deep end.
I may have mentioned it elsewhere, but I have a bias/prejudice against people of... say, Benny's strata. "inflooencers"
But after I wrote this comment, and then my post later, I found myself reflecting.
Maybe there's really a place (and need) for these different strata. I'm strongly drawn to the in-depth thinkers, the analysts, and their hard core attention to things, but someone like Benny maybe reaches people who just cannot (or will not) tune in to those folks.
While I'm wary of controlled opposition, I guess its fair to look at the alt-media sphere as a bit of a complex ecosystem, and folks like Benny, as grating as they can be, maybe have a role to play.
I appreciate your comment, and the contrasting perspective it brings. Thank you!!
Yep, Benny is not a lightweight but he also strangely avoids getting censored and he frequently plagiarizes anons and others who got ran off of YouTube to Rumble and such.

This is part of why I got tired of SaltyCracker and stopped watching him a while back. He serves his purpose still but I was getting tired of everything being only a barely surface level analysis and sometimes misreading situations entirely due to missing context. There was also a period where he was just dooming hard and I was getting simply annoyed not fired up.
I feel that anons graduate from one level to another over time and as such leave their previous sources behind seeking deeper info as well as having learned to recognize who is just stringing you along to keep their numbers up.

I feel exactly the same way! Wohoot!
(Although I wonder how much of anondom follows this course, and how many are simply stuck, or slow, or reach a certain point and then stick there... but anyway)
Yes, I’m sick of the rage bait posts that only tell part of the story. Always a good idea to give some thought to who is pushing the info and why. I think there is a good number of accounts that are trying to turn the base against Trump now with their “Trump needs to fire Bondi, Patel and Bongino NOW!” and “Trump is compromised” replies to this. Give this a few days and see what the official response is.
Yeah I woke up this morning to a bunch of alerts from X and just decided to put the app on ignore for today. I don't even feel like trying to help play damage control. Take note of who latched onto this immediately and take that into consideration of how much you listen to them going forward.

That's normie-level response, folks. Normie level.

Yeah... Axios... I would be surprised if they aren't trying to lead a narrative here.
Spot on FI! 💯💪. Great summary.
yes, and most importantly, we are in an information warfare scenario. does anyone expect the black hats not to fight here?

And speaking of Salty just saw him jumping on this bandwagon as well now.

yep, tons and tons of these, to be sure.
