Basically, this is the modernized version of COINTELPRO. Instead of actually embedding people in these organizations, all they have to do is claim to be part of antifa and spread a bunch of terroristic threats. Then antifa is a terror group.
Link doesn’t work for me, what episode is it? Never listened to TrueAnon and I’m interested in giving it a shot
I thought TrueAnon was a right wing conspiracy thing.
Episode 88 : Covid Cliff
TrueAnon makes Chapo look like Neolibs
Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you.
I’ve tried like 5 times to listen to it but the hosts are such self-congratulatory douchebags I just can’t do it. There is a chance there is some good/insightful content, but imagine Chapo but with even more obscure masturbatory references complete with constant obnoxious laughter and an even more conspiracy-driven worldview.
Brace went to Syria and volunteered for a militia group for 6 months or something like that so I’m sure he was on a few watchlists already and knew it
I enjoy their podcast and their twitter account has a lot of interesting speculative stuff on there that’s fun to look into. They are a great source on Epstein related stuff
Their Epstein stuff is generally well researched and thorough. They interviewed one of the victims a month or two ago. That episode is more “serious” and less masturbatory.
Cool thats the one I’m listening too. Really good so far.
The last q anon episode (episode 85) was pretty good. Showed the links to the conspiracy and a few people in the trump admin or close with them, Stone and Erik Prince are the main two.
Also enjoyed episode 74 with Vincent Bevins a lot about Brazil
Well this was apparently the GOAT episode but I found it way less annoying than Chapo. I thought it was pretty damn good. Lots of good info, sounded well researched, funny, loose. Good stuff.
I haven’t heard every episode, but I generally enjoy TA more. Too much of Chapo recently is terrible TV / movie commentary and too little Matt riffing. I don’t want to listen to a bunch of whiny kids that grew up upper middle class WASP talk about This is Us for the irony factor or whatever.
100% this
Brace was certainly entertaining of Larry Charles’s Dangerous World of Comedy but he sucks on True Anon.
I finally canceled my chapo premium subscription and I almost feel like I’m doing them a favor, because they all sound like they’re sick of doing the podcast. Unfortunately, I think they’re relegated to the hell that all successful radio hosts experience, where the money is so good it’ll never make sense to stop, even when it’s obvious to everyone that they’re phoning it in.
I’m hoping things will pick up a bit closer to the election.
Check out Matt’s solo vlogs on the tubes. It’s a perfect medium for him. He’s not great at riffing in a group but he’s a deep thinker.
Chapo’s definitely been sinking. I canceled my subscription earlier this year.
Every once in a while they have a really funny episode but it’s clear that Bernie losing the primary took the wind out of them because they haven’t been the same since.
Big thumbs down to “All the Presidents Lawyers.” Popehat is insufferable. He’s mostly right on the facts, but the condescending tone and constant stanning for defense lawyers is super irritating.
Here’s the Middle Ages bit I referenced:
“We’re in fuckin 1320 motherfucker
You are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fuckin’ lord the grain. Your fucking children, you’ve had 15 children. You’ve never taken a bath. You’ve literally never. washed. your. penis. You’ve never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You’ve had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are child soldiers in the Duke’s army.
Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can’t read. You don’t know what TV is. If you were transported into today, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don’t know shit. You literally probably don’t even know what the direction ‘left’ is. I’m sure some Medieval guy is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I’ve been to the Renaissance Fair. I’ve eaten a large turkey wing, which the Juggalos call ‘bitch beaters’, which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.
Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can’t sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You’re in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.
You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and…”
