For all the big talk of Trump “going over the head of the media to speak directly to the people” Trump himself is 100% dependent on his Twitter account. Without that direct communication to his fans, Trump has nothing.
Here’s a fun thought experiment:
Blogger VoxDay and his fans are suggesting that Trump’s concession video is a “Deep Fake.”
http://voxday.blogspot.com/2021/01/mailvox-composited-in-post.html
Hunter Wallace made a good point over at OccidentalDissent.com. For Trump and his campaign and his hard core fans, the idea of a stolen election is performative. When Trump asked for a “protest” at the Capitol, he wanted a show not of force but a show of popularity. He was never serious about “stopping the steal” – it was a way to raise money (apparently they raised millions after the election) and a way to save face.
For the MAGA Grifters, the point of these protests was never to overturn any election results. The point was to video themselves at protests, giving speeches, and making social media content. It was an event to get hits and upvotes online.
Only some of his fans believed that they could really put some sort of pressure on politicians to demand anything.
What did the MAGAs do when they finally broke into the Capitol?
They took selfies. The took videos of themselves posing and acting with a very cool backdrop.
It’s all very much Cargo Cult Politics. The French Revolutionaries stormed the Bastille, so if we “storm the Capitol” … well, what exactly?
The ironic thing is that both the protestors and the media have the same interests in portraying this performance as if it is real. The media loved it – not only do they get traffic and eyeballs, but they can also posture as saving America from the “bad guys.”
Even Trump said they “defiled the seat of American democracy” but no one, not on the left, nor the right, not the elites, nor the populares, has anything but contempt for the legislators. It’s all a show, it’s all posturing.
The Mass Media is the Sovereign.
If the media says the election went one way, that is the reality. If the media says the common cold is a humanity-threatening pandemic, that is what their audience believes. If the media says that jet fuel can melt steel beams – even when the New York Times reports “pools of molten steel” at the base on the collapsed WTC – then kerosene can melt steel beams.
Even high school level physics takes a back seat to the blinking lights on the screen.
“Social Media” – meaning, Alphabet/Google, Facebook, and Twitter – they are the sovereign because they control the means of communication.
In 1959, the media said that Leave it to Beaver was respectable, that was what Americans are. In 2020, Black Lives Matter looters are “what Americans are.”
Simply turning off the TV won’t do anything because the majority of people are hooked into it.
The reason the “QAnon Conspiracy Theory” rattled the mass media so much is because it provided an alternative narrative that trumped their narrative. Donald Trump rattled the mass media because Trump was their creation that turned against them.
Anyone contesting for power in America is going to have its own communications infrastructure. A couple of blogs relying on other people’s infrastructure ain’t it.
So unless you have a plan for that, you’re just wasting people time.
There is a reason why Moldbug’s post “Right-wing terrorism as folk activism” is the one that I refer back to and link to the most.
“Why does left-wing terrorism work, and right-wing terrorism not? As Carl Schmitt explained in Theory of the Partisan, terrorist, guerrilla or partisan warfare is never effective on its own. While an effective military strategy, it is only effective as one fork of a pincer attack. The terrorist succeeds when, and only when, he is allied to what Schmitt called an interested third party—either a military or political force.
“Left-wing terrorism succeeds as the violent arm of a political assault that would probably be overwhelming in any case. In every case, the terrorist plays Mutt in a Mutt-and-Jeff act. Right-wing terrorism in the modern world is cargo-cult terrorism: Mutt without Jeff. Indeed, in historical cases where right-wing terrorism has been successful, in every case we see it aligned with powerful forces within the state.”
https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2011/07/right-wing-terrorism-as-folk-activism/
The true Right has no allied military or political force for which it is acting as a proxy, ergo the “terrorist” or activist part of it always fails.

Here’s another Jew’s perspective:
https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/
I think the point about how the Left builds institutions and the Right does not is the key factor here.
As the author points out, the Right-wing terrorist Eric Rudolph was hiding out in the woods eating out of dumpsters with no support from the right-wing community.
But Left-wing terrorists from the Weather Underground were hiding out on luxury houseboats paid for by the National Lawyer’s Guild. And yes, the National Lawyer’s Guild was a Communist front group run by Jews.
Rudolph was executed, the Weather terrorists were let out of prison and then hired by elite universities like Columbia and Berkeley.
The Right fails because they are reactionary. Right-wing ideology works for simplistic societies like small pastoral cultures. Once a society reaches a certain complexity “common sense conservative” no longer works.

Hey look at this folks, a genuine Israeli Hasbara appears.
In case you didn’t know, UtterContempt is an “American” who claims to be only “half Jewish” but nevertheless was so upset at how poor Jews were treated in occupied Palestine that he left America and joined a foreign military force to murder indigenous Palestinians.
Now he spends his time keeping tabs on the “Alt Right” and trying to co-opt Americans into the Zionist cause.
The fact he’s spreading the “Deep Fake” conspiracy theories is probably indicative of something – most likely, just his “utter contempt” for his audience.
What UtterContempt’s testimony shows us is that not even a “half Jew” can actually be an American and all Jews have “single loyalty” to their “state within a state.”

Given the peculiarity of your unpleasantness, if I had to guess I’d say you’re physically handicapped, and this is how you blow off steam. IDK. Some corrections:
(1) Hasbara is not a proper noun. It’s also plural. You can’t be “a Hasbara.” The word is a common and long-running enough figment of the parlance you marinate in that knowing Hebrew isn’t necessary to realize this.
(2) The exact same deep fake conspiracy theory I posited is contained in the VoxDay post you just linked approvingly.
(3) If I’m only “claiming” things about my background, then those things cannot prove what you say they do. Either I am who I say I am, or I’m not. Make up your mind. If I was an Israeli agent keeping tabs on you, I could fabricate any backstory I wanted. Why would I admit to having served in the IDF?
(4) My audience is two dozen people on a hot day. That’s been the case since I started blogging. If my aim was to co-opt anyone, I’d have closed up shop a long time ago.
About ten years ago the Forward ran a story listing all the Jews who’d been killed serving in the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Occidental Observer then ran a post pointing out that most of these guys were half-Jewish at best. So what does that prove? My testimony, as you call it, is purely anecdotal. If it proves anything, it proves that 19-year old kids let themselves get roped into a lot of stupid shit.

Notice the tactics – once you see the patterns it’s all quite obvious.
Most of us know the “Hello, Fellow White People” thing. They have their own version of this they used to do with the “right-wingers.” It was, “hey fellow white racists, don’t black people suck! All us white people sure hate them don’t we!”
Also the bizarre personal insults. This is also a tactic – you can see Antifa types use this with people like Andy Ngo. They are hoping for a reaction then they think they have something on you that will rattle you. Apparently, UtterContempt – who has been stalking my blogs for nearly a decade now – is trying out various things to see if I’ll react. Hence the bizarre note “accusing” me of being “physically handicapped.” This is almost an Old Testament thing – you’ll notice that in the Old Testament a physical handicap made one “unclean” to “enter the Temple.” The Jesus narrative was a direct reversal of this, as Jesus would “heal the cripples” etc. So it’s quite telling that that would be the “insult” he’d try.
In any case, it’s worth observing them try their grift. Some of them are really quite clever about it (like, say, the radio host Michael “Savage” Weiner.) But UtterContempt is not particularly clever which is why he’s never made any headway.
Colin Liddell goes out of his way to promote Jews and the non-European state of Israel but all Liddell did was ruin his own website as it’s been a ghost town since he started posting hasbara shit like UtterContempt.
You also see the Curtis Yarvin/Mencuis Moldbug “Neo-Reaction” has all but died too. Since Peter Thiel cut him off because his Urbit project was a failure, Yarvin is reduced to first shilling for the neo-con think tank Claremont Institute and now is just grifting off of his sycophants on Substack who constantly tell him how “brilliant” he is.

Alright Hipster, I’ll bite, but you’re on your own for apparitions after this. I kind of feel sorry for you–twenty-six comments on this post and still zero support from your readers for your obstreperous little denunciations of me.
Your invocation of Our Lord is especially rich. If that’s the standard you’re holding me to it’s no wonder you hate the Jews. You should try holding yourself to some kind of standard sometime, and see what it’s like.
To your question: I knew a few dozen U.S. expats in the IDF. One is now a firefighter in the U.S. Anyway, I can’t speak for all of them. As for myself, “the kind of American who would travel halfway around the world to fight in a foreign military” is the kind of American who, when convinced of the justice of a cause, is willing to go that far to risk his life for it. If nothing else he has that much in common with Ernest Hemingway, the Lincoln Brigades and the Flying Tigers. He is the son of a Vietnam veteran, the grandson of two U.S. WWII veterans. His great-great-great grandfather was an infantryman in the Union Army. His English ancestors are on the 1776 Muster Roles of the Continental Army for Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, alongside the unmistakable names of a handful of Jews, their brothers-in-arms, as well as some several free negroes. He does not hate and has never claimed to hate negroes, as has been alleged here by the proprietor of this blog. He has lately dedicated his career to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, though perhaps the less said about that in this venue, the better.
That’s what sort of American I am. That I have ever dedicated myself to “the express purpose of genociding [sic] the indigenous population based on ridiculous religious mythology from the Bronze age” is about the most jaundiced and misleading characterization of anyone that I’ve ever heard in my life. Bravo.
My reaction to you and those like you is anything but “panicked.” If anything, it’s pretty calm and deliberative, and you know it. You’re obviously quite averse to those qualities. Your self-styled taboo-breaking is not so new as you fancy it–in fact it’s extremely old and unoriginal. And (to your ultimate assertion) I have nothing whatsoever to fear from you.
Please consider, on the other hand, what sort of American has never risked his life for others. Who pantomimes victimhood on a silly little blog where his ideas never change but his reasons for them change regularly, with no accounting for the difference. Who hates Zionists and then writes for a website he himself calls a hasbarah farm. Who declares with zero reflection that a blog-following comparable in size to his own makes another blogger “not very clever.” Who judges strangers based not a little, or a lot, but entirely on immutable characteristics and, being habitually low on mental ammunition, must press God Almighty into the service of petty insults on a comment thread before babblingly projecting some nonsense about the supposed religious motives of others, squeezed out like all his other insights vituperatively, like a dog shitting peach pits.
What the fuck sort of American is that, Hipster? Don’t worry, I don’t need you to tell me. What you really ought to do is ask yourself.

Trump was different because he’s always been a popular celebrity and has been ultra-famous for decades. I don’t know if they can get that kind of magic out of some boring old conservative Republican like Hawley, much less jokes like Ted Cruz and the laughable Little Marco Rubio.
