I’ve taken a lot of heat here for being a supporter of Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor, but I think this is good news for everyone. Their reporting has stopped, along with the reporting of other people they retweet. Not only has the reporting itself stopped, but they’ve said that they are resting on their laurels, so the stoppage is deliberate. From what I can gather, they consider their jobs completed and now it’s just waiting for Mueller to act.
Of course one reading of this is that they are Infowars types and just arbitrarily decided to stop. But I think I know what happened, after obsessively following both on Twitter for months. I think the leaks were deliberate, and a part of psyops. Good psyops! The things they have reported have mostly turned out to be true. Where they have been consistently wrong has been the timing. They’ve been pushing the “arrests imminent” message for a long time now. I think the leaks were deliberately calculated, when sweetened with the arrests imminent threat, to persuade Trump’s associates to flip on him.
And I think they’ve now stopped because the flipping is complete and Mueller has enough evidence now to build cases.
My mistake was thinking they were acting as reporters. On the other hand, it was comforting to know the truth consistently weeks (or even months) before the MSM reported it. And I suppose even reporters themselves sometimes act as propagandists, e.g. Judith Miller. I consider Mensch to be the anti-Judith Miller and a true patriot.
I am taking heart in the hope that the Trump-Russia investigation has entered a new phase, and now it’s just waiting. Of course we still need to keep the heat on Congress (I phonebanked against both “healthcare” bills), and any special elections require our full support. Protests too. But I will say that is a joy to see a Fourth of July light at the end of the tunnel.
