Steve Kangas
I'm not on social media, I learned early about stalkers, conspiracies, cancel culture and the cultural diffusion. I was in political forums in the 1990s and discovered that "progressives" are often hypocritical fanatics and sometimes prone to physical violence.
Steve Kangas was one of them. I'd sparred with him in those forums and Ryan Routh's assassination attempt of Trump was oddly reminiscent of Kangas:
Kangas was ex-military and probably ex-CIA.
Routh has many connections to military and CIA.
Kangas began life as a conservative.
Routh was originally a Trump supporter.
Kangas transformed into an extreme liberal.
Routh became an avid Ukraine and Tulsi Gabbard fan.
Kangas had a promiment political website.
Routh self-published a book on Ukraine, politics and war.
Kangas moved to Vegas and earned a lot of mystery money.
Routh moved to Hawaii and had income to travel the world.
Kangas finally traveled to Pittsburgh, hid in a office bathroom for several hours in an attempt to assassinate Richard Scaife, a prominent right-wing millionaire, and ended up dead.
Routh finally traveled to Palm Beach, hid at a golf course for twelve hours in an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, a prominent right-wing billionaire, and ended up in jail.
Around 2004–5, I'd read Mark Zuckerberg's contemptuous comments and I expected sites like Twitter and Facebook to eventually be misused like this:
“Google was essentially promoting through
its ads rhetoric that was very pro-Kamala,”
admits Dakota Leazer, a Growth Strategist
at Google, during an undercover date with
an OMG American Swiper journalist. Leazer
reveals that Google has been actively
coordinating with the Kamala Harris campaign,
manipulating its search engine advertisements
Google’s primary objective is to generate
ad revenue through fear-based content,
explaining, “I think whatever demographic is
most fearful is going to be most profitable.”
According to Leazer, the left currently
represents the most fearful demographic,
Most people are blissfully unaware of how and why they are manipulated by this fascist mix of social media and government. But I rarely feel outrage or surprise about it anymore, mostly disappointment in people and relief that I had no children. And maybe some satisfaction about my prediction from twenty years ago.
