That's the question that should be asked: Who benefits from this? And as you stated "Charlie was used to engage the PR battle in Israel's favor". But what I observed as of late was that some of these young college students were holding their own with him when the subject of Israel came up.
Here's some of MR's major "works":
The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything (2021): The first complete book-length investigation into the QAnon movement—its origins, dynamics, and impact.
Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories (2023): A critical look at centuries-old antisemitic myths surrounding the Rothschild banking family (no relation) and their reemergence across modern conspiracies.
The World’s Worst Conspiracies (2020): A broader exploration of the most notorious conspiracies throughout history.
It's going to be fun to watch MR in the near future.....when conspiracy theory becomes conspiracy FACT!
Thanks for your thoughts on being a republic!
After the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall when a woman (traditionally identified as Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powel, a prominent Philadelphia socialite) asked him:
“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a republic or a monarchy?”
Franklin replied:“A republic—if you can keep it.”
How do we keep our republic? By boldly exercising the powers vested in the Executive Branch to maintain the republic!
How about this option/possibility: there's more than one Trump. The one at Butler was not the "real" Trump. One of the things I wrestled with is the idea that the white hats would expose Trump to a situation like Butler.
No big deal - they will just go work at Starbucks or Target.....
